yep

all trade terminals have dust and cobalt

also what do you mine the hptsp[ts with with

[swift sand]

did you read the mineral farming guide provided by !faq-units?

[granite creek]

is this normal? i've been having these kinda bugs since i very began to play

[stuck berry]

Fixed in next patch #nms-news-ticker message

[swift sand]

new bug that started with the latest update basically - unlucky

[south basin]

o yh mb

[granite creek]

oh, joined the game in a bad timing, but also in a great timing because of all the good things that it got

[swift sand]

but yeah, it's already fixed on steam experimental branch, just got to wait for the next public patch like grouch said

[granite creek]

perff, thankssss

[delicate night]

the refiners and supply depots empty if I change from online to offline?

[stuck berry]

Refiners can lose their contents if you unload them in any way

Supply Depot contents are constant, and continue filling up/being full regardless of anything

they continue filling up while the game is closed etc

[quaint pulsar]

Has anyone noticed that the lighting will spin with the characters camera

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is indeed something that happens with many 2D graphical effects

[dawn quail]

Do i gain really anything from this multi tool ?

[delicate night]

do I need animus beam or solar ray anymore after finishing the quest?

[swift sand]

those 2 sc slots in a diagonal, close together basically a slightly better supercharged slot layout - type !faq-multitoollayout in #nms-commands

[dawn quail]

thx !

[tulip dust]

@dawn quail remember that we can package installed tech and modules

Cursor over an installed tech or module, then press "Store Technology".

[swift sand]

@dawn quail also, that we can change between owned tools via on foot quick menu/utilities, and we can have up 6 active tools (+18 archived, via weapons rack base part)

[meager kayak]

I'm doing the expedition and I'm up to the bit where you get the colossus, but when I try to make the geobay it says "Cannot Build // No Edit Permission"

How do I do it?

[swift sand]

If you can't place your geobay, try placing it at the starting processing plant. If that doesn't work, go offline and walk far away from where you were (reporting bases no longer works)

[meager kayak]

I'll give that a go, just gotta get back to the processing plant

[lofty wind]

Hmm.. I was hitting this problem. I just flatten out the area and it seemed to work after that

[meager kayak]

I tried that already

[swift sand]

if you travelled really far from one, try checking your on foot quick menu for an option that says return to waste processing plant

[dense rock]

Why my staf have difrent color to others?

[swift sand]

@meager kayak that said, going completely offline will prevent other player bases from downloading, so if you keep walking after doing that you'll surely come across an area that doesn't have any other bases and you'll be able to build the geobay

[swift sand]

known issue afaik

please raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[bronze aspen]

So power went out and came back on now im stuck with spinning red circle. I've tried the open a different and come back, restart console, even reinstalling. Any ideas?

[light barn]

so im new to the game and doing the expedition and it won't let me place my Colossus geobay so what do i do

[meager kayak]

I can't see that option, but I'm almost back anyways

[swift sand]

maybe try to clear console cache or power cycle?

[dawn quail]

HOOO THATS COOL, thxx!!

[swift sand]

If you can't place your geobay, try placing it at the starting processing plant. If that doesn't work, go offline and walk far away from where you were (reporting bases no longer works)

[light barn]

okay ill try to go to the processing plant

[meager kayak]

Aight that worked, thanks

[bronze aspen]

Tryin that now also

[swift sand]

nice, thanks for the feedback

[light barn]

okay so idk how to go offline cuz im new

[swift sand]

go offline here means for example, disconnect your wifi/lan cable

[dense rock]

Any solve idea? Or only wait for bugfix?

[swift sand]

wait for bug fix yeah

[granite creek]

what's this?

I don't understand what to do w it

[swift sand]

just approach, answer ship comms via quick menu, see message, then move on

[light barn]

So how far away from the starting part do I go

[swift sand]

@granite creek this encounter is just for immersion

[granite creek]

OOOH

gotchaa

thanks so much

[swift sand]

anytime 🙂

[swift sand]

basically, pick a direction that you dont have any other player base purple icons, or less of them. then walk say 200u, try building again. if you still get the same error, walk another 200u and try again. and so on.

[granite creek]

red systems don't have those space stations?

[swift sand]

95% of them wont. in short, any system in the galaxy map that doesn't have a gek/korvax/vykeen icon, wont have a space station.

[stray plover]

where do i find uranium? trying to setup a copper mining outpost with the auto miner things

[granite creek]

OOOH

Thank u

[stuck berry]

Any irradiated world, they're not too rare

You'll see Uranium listed on their regular resource list upon scanning them

[swift sand]

check catalog&guide, do you have uranium unlocked? could locate a planet with it using that function

[stuck berry]

Oh yeah that too

[light barn]

It’s still not working, it’s saying no edit permission

[swift sand]

goto discoveries menu, lower left, is the connection to online discovery services active, or is it disconnected?

[light barn]

Active

[stray plover]

which tab is it under? i dont see it under raw materials core or exotic

[swift sand]

then you're not fully offline yet

[stray plover]

wait nvm i found it 🙂

[light barn]

My pc has no Ethernet going into it

[swift sand]

perhaps it's connected via wifi?

[light barn]

I don’t have a WiFi motherboard

[swift sand]

hmm, then try to save+restart game completely, then it should display as disconnected from ODS; at that point, it's really just a matter of moving until you get to a spot where nobody uploaded a base at - disconnected from ODS game is unable to download more bases, and there's a limit to how many bases it could have cached

[proper lion]

How do I find my ship in this expedition?

[swift sand]

You must complete ALL of phase 5 to unlock your ship

[proper lion]

I ran into it once already I think

[swift sand]

yeah, it spawns, but wont be able to make use of it till that requirement is completed

[proper lion]

Towering Prophecy Q04

Ah

[soft anvil]

do multiple stellar extractors produce more resource?

[swift sand]

basically getting multiple rooms doing the same thing, but wont buff how much resource each stellar extractor gets

[light barn]

Restarted my game and it instantly worked

Also will I need to go back where I placed my colossus later?

[swift sand]

@soft anvil i'd strongly recommend using gas extractor mines on planetary hotspots instead of stellar extractors; far more reliable, and much faster, with the advantage of being able to add more storage

[swift sand]

delete the geobay after you spawn colossus, to get the build materials back, so you can build it again later if/when needed

[light barn]

okay

[dense rock]

@swift sand Request send

[swift sand]

or after you're done with customizing colossus for example, ofc

[soft anvil]

does the orbital exocraft materializer just make them appear or do i need the geobays builts somehwere?

[swift sand]

the latter; orb exo materializer is just what handles the quick menu summoning part of it

[soft anvil]

allright

thanks

[granite creek]

why is this so expensive

[swift sand]

34 cargo slots

[stray plover]

dang almost 500 hyperdrive range, mines like 120 lmao

[swift sand]

@granite creek an option for some: could set options/difficulty/purchases=free, get it, make the cash it would have cost in items, dump the items

[granite creek]

I honestly didn't know you could do that I already took the payment instead of the ship

[swift sand]

hyperdrive range on freighters is really easy to get actually - there's a few hyperdrive techs that buff range by a lot, like 800LY a single tech. otoh, if all one does is summoning freighter around, neither range nor warp fuel efficiency is required.

[granite creek]

wait, if this is A what's the requierement for it to be S

[stray plover]

so i noticed some things, like the large refiner, will snap in places inside habitat rooms, but i can not seem to get hydroponic trays to snap to make them look nice and even. the small ones will snap the the outer squares, but the large one wont snap anywhere

[swift sand]

requirement for s-class to spawn is not be in a tier 1 economy system, otherwise it's just a matter of rng drop chance - it'll have a s-class icon, up to 4 supercharged slots revealed, and possibly up to 20+34 (tech+cargo) slots (starting inventory size)

[tulip dust]

@granite creek
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Should I settle for an A-class Freighter, or keep battling RNG for the S-class?

Mostly up to the player, but in short, the differences between A-class vs S-class Capital Freighters (including Pirate Dreadnought):

• 3 vs 4 supercharged slots;
• 50+100 vs 60+120 max inventory upgrade limit;
• Slightly lower ranges vs Slightly higher ranges to base bonuses;

Type !faq-shipspawns in #bot-spam for more info on drop chances per system economy tier.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

hydro trays snapped in the interior of cuboids iirc

[granite creek]

thank you

[stray plover]

the small ones are snapping, but the large ones are not

[swift sand]

iirc, large snapped inside cuboid rooms yeah

[late vector]

How do we find “paradise” planets?

[stuck berry]

Just by warping around and finding them. A freighter with a scanner room helps. On-Foot Combat difficulty option disqaulifies more from being called paradises the higher it's set, with basically none existing at max

[jagged wasp]

it's probably easiest from a freighter with a scanner installed, look at planets with star bulb and check for weather that doesn't suck and no sentinels,

[swift sand]

yeah, they might not snap inside large prefabs, only cuboids. you'll just have to free place it probably, or just build a cuboid shack nearby, like an annex, if you really want to make use of snapping all the way

[jagged wasp]

you might still have predators though

[stuck berry]

"Paradise Planet/Moon" is just the biome name override given to lush worlds that have no storms and low sentinel activity, that also aren't the infested/ruined subbiome

[stray plover]

which cupoid are you talking about? i only have vylindrical room or square room

oh wait, these rooms?

[swift sand]

yep, those

[late vector]

I saw YouTube video that said that you can search for planets with the word paradise in them as a filter

[stuck berry]

We cannot do this in-game

[stray plover]

i need to go farm some more ferrite lol

[late vector]

Oh weird OK thank you

[stuck berry]

we can however use places like reddit, https://nmsce.com/ etc to document the portal coordinates to worlds we find and use those to search for ones found by others
typing those portal coordinates into a portal in the correct galaxy takes you to that world (though purple star systems cannot be reached until "In Stellar Multitudes" is complete

[swift sand]

can always buy some - t3 eco system trade terminals and pilots sometimes have a few hundreds, same for ferrite dust.

[stray plover]

i usually only see maybe 30-60 at a time in terminals

[jagged wasp]

not sure that "abandoned paradise" worlds count as pradise planets in any case

[swift sand]

t3 eco systems will have more, larger stockpiles

[stuck berry]

Doesn't.

Just another variation that the game uses randomly

Just like Infested Paradise

[jagged wasp]

so even if you could filter by 'paradise' in the name, it would not guarantee anything

[stuck berry]

Infested and Relic worlds can still fully lack storms and have low sentinel activity, like all other types of worlds

[stray plover]

woah did yall know if you get to far from a mission structure (like jumping through black holes) you can restart the mission using closer structures to your current location

[jagged wasp]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Biome_-_Lush#Weather

[stuck berry]

just that HG did not allow for their name to be overridden to Paradise Planet/Moon when those features are both present

[jagged wasp]

yes, we use this to help people get around quest breaking bugs from time to time

[late vector]

For context this is the video I saw. Thanks everyone for your responses. https://youtu.be/wGVNqR0o-U0?si=EQHvV32Q5SBipthP

[past iron]

So I keep trying to trade for ambassadors parts but when it says accepted I can’t make a corvette with the parts does anyone know why?

[stuck berry]

Note that this video refers to the "temperature rating" thing which is misinfo, the characters in a star's stellar class after the first one have no meaning or correlation to any features of it in No Man's Sky

[jagged wasp]

that's a very common misconception that we've been trying to stamp out for years... no luck yet

[quaint pulsar]

alr before i sell these storm crystals is there a better place to sell them than the galactic market?

[stuck berry]

It only mentioned it briefly, the main way it describes still kinda works but is honestly still slower/more tedious than just warping around in a freighter with a scanner room

[stuck berry]

Anywhere will accept them for around the same price

[jagged wasp]

(I have the video on in the background, still waiting for the actual how-to)

[stuck berry]

Only Trade Goods sell for notably more or less in specific conditions/buy %s or whtv

[quaint pulsar]

Yeah thats what i thought...thanks for the confirmation

I gathered 72 of these things and am only getting 15 mill

[jagged wasp]

you might save a few, they are useful in a few nice blueprints

[quaint pulsar]

which is a shame

[stuck berry]

That sounds very strange. Are the modules in your exosuit cargo inventory or your Corvette Workshop Cache?

[jagged wasp]

oh dear, using the catalogue to be sent to lush planets?meh

[past iron]

I’m not sure I will have to check

[quaint pulsar]

anyone know if the pirate frigate vs convoy battles only spawn in pirate systems?

[jagged wasp]

it's not just outlaw systems (thus sayeth the wiki)

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

[stuck berry]

They can appear in all conflict levels, they are just rarer in the more peaceful ones

They replace the battles of all outlaw systems, most high conflict systems, some medium conflict and a few low conflict systems

Also, 20% of all Outlaw Systems and 10% of all High-Conflict Systems will always begin a Pirate Dreadnought Event every time that they are warped to, completely ignoring the cooldown

[quaint pulsar]

Im also guessing the glitch that allowed you to leave and rejoin a system in order to restart the battle has been patched then

[stuck berry]

Loading a save that was created after the battle started will always despawn the battle

there was a glitch for a short time where it did not and the class would reroll too, but that was patched long ago

[quaint pulsar]

ah ya see thats how i got my first S class. Looks like ill actually have to farm it out this time round

If that gives you an idea of how long ive been gone for

[boreal pine]

do i need a cadmium, emeril and indium drive or do i only need an indium drive?

[quaint pulsar]

what other frigate/freighter stuff has changed since ive been away? Did they finally add a use for those big guns on the dreadnaughts?

[stuck berry]

Indium Drive enables access to red, green and blue systems

[stray plover]

just found my first dreadnought, i heard someone say if i get them to a certain health i can have the ship right

[boreal pine]

gotcha

[stuck berry]

You must make it surrender. To do that, you must destroy it's warp drive, as well as either lower it's health to 25% or destroy all of it's Anti-Freighter Cannons

[jagged wasp]

typically you can knock ou the shields and then make sure the ycan't leave

[quaint pulsar]

take out the thrusters in the back first so it cant get away then take out the big laser guns

[boreal pine]

wait so how do i get emeril

[stuck berry]

Nearly any Green star system

Green star systems have their stellar class begin with E

[stray plover]

engines taken out 🔥

[jagged wasp]

e for emeril (too bad they don't all work that way)

[quaint pulsar]

RAAAAAAAH

now the big guns

[stuck berry]

Gellow

[boreal pine]

so i need to get the other drives first to work up to indium?

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is how it works normally

[jagged wasp]

or... you can luck out and find emeril from a buried cache, multilpy it by chrom metal to get the amount you need...

[stuck berry]

You need Chromatic Metal to install the Cadmium Drive, then you need Cadmium to install the Emeril Drive, then you need Emeril to install the Indium Drive

[jagged wasp]

but typically yes, you do it one step at a time

[stuck berry]

And yeah, there are obscure alternatives, like that and dismantling installed upgrades for Cadmium

[jagged wasp]

obscure alternatives r us 😛

[hushed saffron]

k for... Kadmium

[jagged wasp]

really: g is for... gopper 😛 😛

[blazing cypress]

i identify as a purple star system

[tawdry loom]

How can I find a ship that I left without fully repairing it? The damn thing is now stuck in my inventory and I have nothing I can do about it.

[hushed saffron]

bindium

[boreal pine]

i had this question earlier, the answer is your freighter

idk any other method

[tawdry loom]

Doesn’t seem very promising, but I’ll give it a shot

[stuck berry]

Also see this post #nms-questions message

[hexed thorn]

i think it was ondium and binding or sum
there were two letters

[jagged wasp]

it used to be that if you save, exit, reload on a planet, you could then summon even a broken ship to you, once after the reload, as a sort of failsafe. you might see if that's still true. you'll need to do repairs right after

[stuck berry]

This is still the case

just that it's more reliable or maybe required to be at a base, idk

[jagged wasp]

fair enough

[oak gust]

I'm having a slight issue on PS5 where if I'm on foot, if I just let go of the controller, the view starts drifting slightly to the right but it only happens when I'm on foot. If I get in an exocraft like the Colossus, there's no drift. Anyone else having this issue? I would think it's just stick drift from the controller but it's weird that it doesn't happen if I'm in a vehicle.

[stray plover]

[stuck berry]

It's related to corvette rotation imparting on the player strangely after they exit it, this bug was introduced in 6.20

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[stuck berry]

it only affects the player character, not their camera or any other modes they go into (ship, exocraft etc) so it only really affects first person on-foot

in third person your character still rotates but no biggie

hopefully this will be patched soon

[oak gust]

I did notice when I land my Corvette on my freighter, I don't turn with the Corvette, so good to know it's not just me and there's nothing wrong with my controller lol

[stuck berry]

saving and reloading or going to another system should temporarily resolve it

beaming while the corvette is actively rotating is the main thing that causes it, so wait until the corvette has stopped moving/rotating before dismounting

[stray plover]

good trade?

[stuck berry]

It's more that you are being rotated twice, you rotate the way the ship rotates but twice as much

[stuck berry]

If you like the vibe of Pirate Dreadnoughts, absolutely

both of these freighters are functionally identical

[stray plover]

will my storage transfer automatically?

[stuck berry]

Storage Containers yes

Freighter Cargo inventory no

but you can transfer that from this menu

[stray plover]

oh after i hit claim i can grab everything, even if its in another system?

[stuck berry]

Grab everything from what?

[stray plover]

oh nvm, i guess i dont have anything in it lol

everything in containers already

[stuck berry]

Storange Container inventories """""transfer""""", no need

their contents are not tied to the objects

[stray plover]

yeah i just thought i had some stuff in the ships cargo inventory but i didnt

[subtle stag]

can you take your freighter through to a new galaxy?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can just summon it on the other side

[stray plover]

you can also warp to a galaxy from inside the freighter if you want

[stuck berry]

You can summon your freighter from an infinite distance away using the Quick Menu, which does not use hyperdrive fuel

[boreal pine]

can i build on water?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can

Using free-placement will help build on/above the water more easily

[boreal pine]

im about to make a kamino ass colony on the water

[sage pier]

Im using a macro for the reverse wire glitch, and was just wondering if the intervals are off or something because I've been at it for hours and can't get it to work

[subtle stag]

can i warp it through?

[stuck berry]

You could do that too, but it would not come with you this way, you would still need to summon it on the other side

your primary starship will still be damaged

just that this circumvents needing the starship to have a working, fully charged hyperdrive that has the right drive installed

[tawdry loom]

Thank you I thought I was going to have to start another new game for like the seventh freaking time

[south basin]

wouldn’t it be more fun to workaround errors

[topaz coral]

Is anyone else experiencing the game crashing their computer everytime you try to start it?

[south basin]

nah

[boreal pine]

nah

[stuck berry]

No. Possibly try deleting the file No Man's Sky/BINARIES/SETTINGS/TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML

[boreal pine]

also does this game support dlss or frame generation? i get enough fps but i wouldnt complain if i had more

[stuck berry]

It supports both

They are available to use for the cards that they allow support on

[boreal pine]

is it in with the normal graphics and display settings? ive looked but cant see it

[south basin]

how much dos do u have

[stuck berry]

Also if any mods are installed, uninstall/disable them to see if they are the problem. If the game keeps crashing, possible follow this #nms-questions message

[boreal pine]

usually like 140-170 on ultra

[south basin]

oh what card?

[boreal pine]

RTX 5060 TI

[stuck berry]

Display & Graphics, it's only visible if your card is capable/allowed to use it

[south basin]

ah ic

[topaz coral]

no mods or overlays just the game. Since the last update I can't play due to the issue, and I have to force poweroff the PC it crashes so badly.

[boreal pine]

weird i dont see it

[stuck berry]

Then it may just not be available on that, which is a bit weird but idk. Maybe there's some sketchy way around it which would probably work but idk. DLSS is available as an Anti-Aliasing option, which is updated to DLSS 4.5

[south basin]

after the last update my mac saw it as malware and i had to enter a password to open the game

the admin pasaord

so maybe check security or smth idk

[boreal pine]

yeah i just figured out that i have my anti aliasing set to fsr instead of dlss

got it working now

this game does not like frame generation

[south basin]

why not overclock

[boreal pine]

cant be bothered

[stuck berry]

Restart the game after enabling it to see stable performance

same with disabling it

[boreal pine]

ah gotcha, it was locking my fps to 60 and making the mouse inputs super laggy. ill make sure to restart now

[stuck berry]

Personally a lot of the main settings require a restart to see normal performance with them, maybe it's cuz I push my vram past where I should though

[boreal pine]

its still doing it after restart dont know why though

i mean i dont care too much about fps ill just run without FG

it might be something to do with my drivers i havent updated those is a while

[stuck berry]

FG caps my fps to my monitors refresh rate, despite vsync being off so idk

[boreal pine]

even if it was capping to my refresh rate it would have capped to 144 and i dont think that would explain the lag of mouse inputs

[stuck berry]

Mouse inputs would make sense at 60fps, as that's technically 30fps of actual frames

[nimble nova]

Hello!!!

[lofty dirge]

do you have a question?

[boreal pine]

ill just settle with my current frames and not bother too much with more. above 60 i dont care to much anyway

[topaz coral]

I don't get asked for a password, just my PC locks up and won't do anything, it won't even hard reset, and it doesn't seem to make a crash log either, it just hangs and all I can do is turn the power off.

[stuck berry]

Like the thing I pointed to says, I'd advise posting in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/964865106334875698

[topaz coral]

yes but that said put the crash log and I can't find one so...

[soft anvil]

is there any way to make flying creatures you tamed and are mounting stop flying

[stuck berry]

No.

Companions that can fly will never stop flying, they just don't do that

[soft anvil]

yeah i noticed that aspect

[boreal pine]

can i turn off the overlay of like ice when on a frosty planet

its annoying

[stuck berry]

No, but you can reduce it very greatly in the options

[boreal pine]

where abouts

[stuck berry]

Options > Accessibility > Hazard Effects

[boreal pine]

oh thats basically off

thanks

[stuck berry]

If this is not enough, a mod exists that removes the overlay altogether https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2115

[boreal pine]

[soft anvil]

what about making the first person camera of exocrats move faster

[stuck berry]

Can't really be done, unless one of the existing sensitivity options affects it

but even then, it will still have the acceleration/deceleration

[soft anvil]

well from my own seeing there is no effect at all

[slender raven]

does the Industrial Cleanup mission on the log never go away like the other unclearable missions? I completed the tutorial that I'm supposed to, but it's still in my log and I'm not sure if it's a bug or something normal

[stuck berry]

It stays there forever, it exists to allow you to see your stats related to waste processing

[boreal pine]

i dont think the base location i have chosen is very amazing

the local wildlife keep dying by falling into the water

[slender raven]

ah ok, cool, wasn't sure so I figured I'd ask just in case lol

[alpine ember]

Two questions (both for creative mode)

1. Where am I able to find different guns? Would I need to travel to other space stations and if so, would they need to be in different galaxie’s space stations? Would I just grab them from the weapon area?

2. Are there areas where I can find new outfit parts like helmets and capes?

[stuck berry]

1. If you began your save in Creative Mode, all blueprints are already unlocked, including the blueprints for all Multi-Tool and Starship weapons. You can purchase upgrade modules for these weapons from the tech merchants aboard space stations, each one offers them at different classes. S-Class upgrade modules are not rare, just slightly expensive. You can restock their inventories by either saving and reloading or teleporting away.
2. Yes, mainly from either the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (must still earn Quicksilver to purchase them, even in Creative Mode) or from certain missions. The mission "They Who Returned" unlocks access to a terminal where you can unlock a lot more options, that mission comes after the main story and doing another thing #nms-commands message

There's also Under a Rebel Star and Dreams of the Deep which unlock a new option each

also lifting the seal of a Harmonic Camp for the first time unlocks another backpack option, and there are some customization options that are tied to either killing Vile Brood Queens or certain fishing milestones

[shut whale]

I am doing the Expedition 21. BUT trying to find the LAST fauna. BUT cant seem to find it in any caves....

I dont see ANY fauna currently

[stuck berry]

Do you have multiplayer enabled?

[shut whale]

Yes

[stuck berry]

Possibly try disabling it, then saving and reloading (or just reloading the last autosave)

[shut whale]

aight

[shut whale]

"rare /Ground, means they are underground or in caves? Would I STILL see the red dot if underground?

[jagged wasp]

not in caves.

[stuck berry]

Ground, not underground

Ground means on the surface, terrestrial. Creatures that are in caves will specifically say Underground

You would see the red dot through every surface, regardless of creature or classification

[jagged wasp]

there were no undergriund critters in the expd, luckily enough

[shut whale]

OK, then they are SUPER rare. Cause I have YET to see one....

[stuck berry]

There is also no ocean for underwater creatures to reside, the planet was chosen very precisely

[shut whale]

Other animals are poping up. But not this last one..

[jagged wasp]

it will don't see it there? move 300u away, wait a minuet, try again, repeat until it shows up

the exocraft is handy for that, by now you have the scanner

I guess this is your last milestone?

[scenic saffron]

when did they change the way freighter building works

[stuck berry]

In what way?

[scenic saffron]

basically I have a freighter from when the build area started as just a huge room

[stuck berry]

In 2022, Endurance released that completely overhauled freighter base building

[scenic saffron]

wow...

This save is old

[stuck berry]

It was overhauled many times before that too, I believe before the NEXT update in 2018 it used the Cuboid Room system

[hoary sigil]

Big question

Why sometimes my vehicle phases through the bridge (metal or wood) i made

Do i really need to go slow so the game can load them

[stuck berry]

I've heard other players reporting this issue too, generally for them

(ramps)

I'm wondering if this issue is fixed in experimental, but I am not sure

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[hoary sigil]

Not just ramps, platform sometimes too

Like in my house, i can phases through the floor and drop down

Kinda funny when it does

It would take a moment for that specific floor, tile to load again

But if i move too far or teleport away, it would happen again

[scenic saffron]

Oh like was NEXT the one that made them stop spawning with the cuboid rooms

[stuck berry]

I believe so, not fully sure

[scenic saffron]

dear atlas that save is old

ig ive been a player since 2018 then

[stuck berry]

That would be before third person mode and proper multiplayer were added too

[urban crypt]

NEXT was the white clinical tileset. i rather liked it.

[scenic saffron]

thats when I played actually im pretty sure

Freighter has a large room that has some of those red barrels and some other stuff

Pretty sure it was before the tech + cargo split

[urban crypt]

i dont think freighters ever had a cuboid tileset. they had the freighter-white tileset before cuboid rooms were even a thing.

[whole harness]

At this point in time are there planets "discovered 10 years ago?" I started a savefile and it says that for tbe system's discoverer

[stuck berry]

They did when they were first made ownable by the player, at least shown in the Foundation trailer

[stuck berry]

Yes, as No Man's Sky released in 2016

The numbers round up, so discoveries made at any time in 2016 will display as "10 years ago" throughout 2026

[whole harness]

Cool!

[stuck berry]

If you use your Analysis Visor, you can see the specific timestamp that it was uploaded on

[whole harness]

Ohh ill look now

[urban crypt]

i thought i got atlas rises. but next was the first xbox release so thats where i must have started

[whole harness]

It says August 10th 2016

[stuck berry]

Day after launch

possibly on launch day depending on time zone

as the time shown changes based on your own time zone

[urban crypt]

ODS has been with the game since launch. so yeah

[whole harness]

They didnt do much. They only discovered 1 planet i started on, ill stick around here and scan this system!

[urban crypt]

given the ... troubles I guessed that ODS was tacked on later. But I can see how a claim of "multiplayer" got reduced to online discovery services by release.

[stuck berry]

Back then, we had no way of scanning entire systems to discover them, and even no way to mass-upload so they had to manually click that one to upload it or give it a name

[urban crypt]

call me lazy but I want to be able to send frigates to orbit planets and build a complete scan of all the fauna, flora and minerals without ever touching foot to soil.

[stuck berry]

I just want the ability to pick a planet that I've scanned and have my freighter warp right in front of it/above to bring me there

[whole harness]

Lol im thinking like being able to beam down and beam up to the freighter from the planet xD

[stuck berry]

Maybe even a "chart path" feature where you can pick a planet from the discoveries screen in any system while aboard your freighter, and it shows how much fuel it'll use to get there and etc

though destinations on the other side of a black hole would almost seem like a bug when they say they need like 43 warp hypercores

[hazy berry]

Are customisation items save pr account wide

Like the ones that you get from tittles

Would i need to re eanrn them on other save

[half stone]

Customization is account wide. So if you were to buy something from the quicksilver merchant, all your characters have it. Some stuff you have to claim from the vendor on another save, like starship trails. Titles you get throughout the game don't carry over I believe, only ones that you buy from the anomaly.

[hazy berry]

What about like the void motes items

The autophage head styles

[charred haven]

not unlocked for other saves

only expedition rewards are account wide

and certain community items

[tame hawk]

What are this thing for?

[charred haven]

these events are mostly stuff to look at

some of them can be destroyed for resources

[charred haven]

ping

[tame hawk]

so they are just random event without practical uses?

[charred haven]

most of the time, yes. ✨ flavour

[verbal laurel]

I'm aware that certain starship wing types guarantee higher or lower inventory space.
Question: does that also affect tech slots, or is that independent of ship parts?

[urban crypt]

wait what? that is... soo old. im sure wing types mean nothing by now

[verbal laurel]

... are you sure?
Are the wiki and linked subreddit posts untrusted?

[verbal laurel]

But I did just find a reddit post from 3 months ago where someone says they tested it and it's still a thing apparently, with starting inventory spots; of course all ships can be upgraded to have a lot of storage eventually, if you have the cash.

[small lily]

Is selling sentinel ships for scrap a good money making method early game

[urban crypt]

in terms of your original question. so many things, inventories, have been normalized, that idon't think its possible to know without testing. i'd assume that, since tech inventory is "new", they would not have bothered with taking wing size into account.

[tame hawk]

Found one of this, cant use it for some reason?

[sweet salmon]

how the hell does everyone get such pretty corvettes and mine is a chunky block of legos

[small lily]

They r aesthetic, while me and y my friend have absolutely no talent

[sweet salmon]

let me rephrase, how do i get those parts? i've learnt quickly that me owning a large corvette tanks my fps, so i've given up on a behemoth of a base, and i'm going to shoot for something more pretty

[tame hawk]

Go search for some building guide, or just try every piece you have

Corvette building is very time consuming for me at least

[spiral glen]

Is there any way to propose features to HG ?
Like better yield for scraps collected on Gas Giants (or extreme weather planets)

[tropic ginkgo]

need to be in a dissonant, non-abandoned, non-uncharted system and the dissonant planet needs to not have gold

[tame hawk]

Took me 3 hours to collect and build this ship yesterday

[sweet salmon]

pov i come to the discord to have a conversation with someone instead of googling it and i get told to google it

[sweet salmon]

fuckin beautiful mate

[potent mango]

Not played for a while but my Minotaur has basically no weapons, got all the exocraft upgrades but can’t install any weapons, is this a new thing?

[tame hawk]

YT is a great tool btw

[tropic ginkgo]

your question: how do I get the parts
doesn't need a conversation, google tells you this in 20 seconds
now if you want to discuss corvettes or take a look at corvettes, #nms-corvette-discussion or #nms-showcase-corvettes

[sweet salmon]

i'm well aware, i just prefer talking to people, not staring at a screen absorbing information

[sweet salmon]

this will be more helpful, thank you :), i didn't see those channels

[tropic ginkgo]

guides and resources were written up so that 30 people don't have to ask the same exact question here daily, being proactive about learning when you want to learn something is a thing

[tame hawk]

In terms of creating something new, there's no right or wrong answer, just keep trying until you find the one you like, that's all I can say

[potent mango]

Not played for a while but my Minotaur has basically no weapons, got all the exocraft upgrades but can’t install any weapons, is this a new thing?

[tame hawk]

Found one, thanks

[sweet salmon]

i'm allowed to have preferences too though, i know youtube is an amazing tool, but i'm 50% here for information 50% here to speak to the people in the community

[tame hawk]

uhhh where do I find the last pieces in the list?

nvm

[tawdry loom]

Did you figure it out?

🧐

[tame hawk]

There's in game guide I forget to check xd

[tawdry loom]

👾👾

[potent mango]

Not played for a while but my Minotaur has basically no weapons, got all the exocraft upgrades but can’t install any weapons, is this a new thing?

[tame hawk]

Are there only one sentinel ship site for every system or?

[rancid nexus]

on what kinds of planets will I find industrial waste?

[meager kayak]

Is there any way to do old expeditions that have already finished?

[hollow copper]

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem with switching tabs from nms to some other thing and your game would crash or even your pc would freeze..?

[tame hawk]

The one with slavageable scrap

[small lily]

CAN we use a haulers core in like a solar ship?

[meager kayak]

I think you can see it when you scan the planet from space

[hazy berry]

What do you by core, the one that assigns the ships rank or like the cockip? Im assuming we are talking about custom ships

[small lily]

the ship rank

[hazy berry]

The rank like A, B, C S?

[small lily]

yes

[hazy berry]

Im not 100% if im understandibg correctly what you are asking but: Every ship type (haulers, solars, etc…) can be any of the four avaible classes( S,A,B,C) you can find rhem with a random chance to be a certain rank - usually determites by the wealth of the system. You can upgrade the rank of you ship on space stations, so an C class ship can become an S class. If you want to build an custom normal starship you need to right parts for the right type of ship. The class of the built ship is determites by an core that you can buy from spacestations

[small lily]

we cant get core from scalvaging?

[hazy berry]

Not im my knowledge, you cann get ship parts from scrapping starships at the starship outfitting terminal, there you can choose to extract the eirher the cockpit, wings or thrusters. Cores can be gotten by missions or buying

Id you need more and clearer info you should aks Bk201, Grouch or Tyndall

They know the studf around here

[meager kayak]

In the expedition, is there any way to teleport back to the starting point?

[hollow copper]

I don't think so, I had to drive manually back

[meager kayak]

Ah bugger

Is there any way to tell which is the starting processing plant?

[hollow copper]

You can find other plants by scanning, but I just guessed what was the starting one

It was like near the mountain

[meager kayak]

Aight time to spend 20 minutes driving lol

[hollow copper]

Uh oh💔

[meager kayak]

Actually how do I find my starship?

I couldn't see a compass marker for it when I spawned in

[hollow copper]

Like your main save starship or the expedition one?

[meager kayak]

The expedition one

Thinking I could go repair it and just fly around instead

[hazy berry]

no, you cant do that

[hollow copper]

I'm not sure where it is but I've got it after I finished the final phase

[hazy berry]

you can only get your ship when you finish phase 5

[hollow copper]

Then you can fly off

[meager kayak]

Ah

Another 15 min of driving then 😔

[hollow copper]

Yeah it's tedious

But the outfit is nice

[elfin lichen]

Hey random question, I am trying to get a specific pirate dreadnaught so I portal'd to the system i found on reddit but it jus so happens my next warp is the battle, is it possible to have sum1 join me go to the next system put a base down then I join them and teleport back?

[small lily]

How do uk the next one is a battle?

[elfin lichen]

I warped, then when it was the battle i reloaded my save

so ik the next warp is the battle

but im stuck in the system i need the battle in...

[hazy berry]

could you use the anomanolys teleportet to teleport to a nerby system and the warp to that one

[elfin lichen]

how do I do that?

[hazy berry]

have you visited any of the nearby system space stations?

[elfin lichen]

nope jus got here from a portal

[hazy berry]

ahh thas bad, then the anomanoly trick wont work

[elfin lichen]

dang..

[river canyon]

Warp to an uncharted system

No battle there

Then warp back

[elfin lichen]

really?

[hazy berry]

wwhy didnt i think of that

thats genious idea

[river canyon]

As long as it's an uncharted, yes

[elfin lichen]

thats ball knowledge right there thx a bunch

might take a lil longer but i dont mind

[hazy berry]

is there a lore reason why almost every red star system is empty

[river canyon]

Not that I'm aware of

[rare heath]

Question at X-tier upgrade modules, can they be better than S-tier? I went through all my X-tier modules yesterday and they were all significantly worse than my S-tier ones, maybe I have just been unlucky?

[hazy berry]

uhh Gleam, do you happen to know which of the anomanoly portals takes to eissentam?

[hollow copper]

Maybe because they're dying stars in a way like ours irl

[hazy berry]

could be, i dindt think of that

[elfin lichen]

hey so another question, I started the battle in the system that everyone i saw online went to for the pirate dreadnaught but all it gives me is a capital ship not a dread naught..am I doing something wrong?

[hazy berry]

do you already own a freighter

[elfin lichen]

no

[hazy berry]

you need to own an freighter fo pirate one to spawn

[elfin lichen]

😭 AH! i see, welp ill see yall in 3 hours

[river canyon]

Check the featured, if it's not in your current galaxy it should list it in the info

Dragon egg or something?

[river canyon]

They can be better than S and as bad or worse than C, gambling

[hollow copper]

It could also be the reason why there are so little planets in those systems because if we take the sun as the example, when it runs out of hydrogen the core will start contracting and the outer layers expanding tremendously which would lead to the sun itself swallowing the planets that are near it

That's my theory of a sort

[hazy berry]

yeah t think that could be correct

tho we cant yeat see the stars in nms

woud be really cool tho

[hazy berry]

did you alraydy do the battle or claim the ship?

[elfin lichen]

yea

y?

[hazy berry]

if not then i think i have some goof news for you

aww maan

[elfin lichen]

...

wassup?

[hollow copper]

Imagine building dyson spheres around the stars to harvest their energy

That would be sick

[small lily]

Is it me or is it too easy to get shit in no man’s sky

[hazy berry]

correct me if im wrong, but i think that you could have flown in normal system, wait for freighter to warp in, land on it and buy it

and then go and do the battle

am i right gleam? wouldnt that technically work

[elfin lichen]

omg i thought u were gonna say im stuck and i can only get one freighter from a system

3 hours is fine i got sum other stuff to do

[river canyon]

No, you actually need to have done 2 rescue battles before the dread starts spawning

[rare heath]

so I need to start farming X-tier modules, well, needed something to do 🙂

[hazy berry]

ohh

[elfin lichen]

battles and claim or jus battles in general

or battles after having a freighter ?

[river canyon]

You have to own one, and have done 2 rescues, you don't have to claim either of the rescues

[elfin lichen]

oh dear lord

ight

ill see yall in 9 hours...

[river canyon]

Story leads you to the first to give a tutorial mission

[hazy berry]

well i think i have an answer to that

im not just sure if it will work

[elfin lichen]

ill take anything

[river canyon]

I have the most efficient method of doing so, if you want to see it

[hazy berry]

i have a glyps for an system that always spawn an pirate battle, but i think that in your case normal one, im not sure if you can repeat that few times and then get the pirate one to spawn

[river canyon]

Not fun mind you, efficient

[elfin lichen]

how is tht possible and does tht count?

[hazy berry]

not sure, maybe gleam knowns

there just appears to be some systems that always spawn battles without multipalyer on

[river canyon]

Haven't tested, shouldn't work until they can see dreads themselves

Maybe they would get the normal rescue though?

[hazy berry]

well i can still share them and you can test it

[elfin lichen]

will it work for the 2 rescues i need?

[hazy berry]

euclid galaxy

[hazy berry]

only one way to find out i guess

i used thgat system to get my s class dreadnought

[river canyon]

If you get a battle, it counts

[hazy berry]

do you want the glyphs?

[elfin lichen]

send the glyphs🕊️ 🥀 ....

[hazy berry]

can i send them here gleam

or somewhere else

[elfin lichen]

id appreciate tht

[river canyon]

Here is fine, you are helping

[hollow copper]

Where do I find the portal where you have to input the glyphs? I'm confused constantly hearing about them yet not seeing them anywhere

[elfin lichen]

yall have seen me go through a rollercoaster here

[hazy berry]

warp out of the system and then back in

[charred haven]

when would it be appropriate to direct people to #nms-lfg-or-trades with this kind of stuff?

When they just come in posting their shares or asking for coordinates. If in the course of troubleshooting or assisting you happen to get to that point, it's ok here

[hazy berry]

remember to do it without multiplayer

doing it on mp can break it

[charred haven]

gottcha

[elfin lichen]

yep gotcha, really grateful for all the help =] gleam too thx

[hollow copper]

Ohhh thanks for the info!

[hazy berry]

you lknow what else is great about that system

[elfin lichen]

?

[hazy berry]

if you destroy the dreadnought you get an s class freighter upgrade

[charred haven]

Genrally a lot of things can break in multiplayer fyi

[hazy berry]

you can farm them

there

free s class upgrades

[elfin lichen]

wait sorry, im gonna be fighting a dread there?

[charred haven]

is this guaranteed, or part of the loot pool?

[elfin lichen]

what about the specific 1 i need, do i jus go back to the other system?

[hazy berry]

uhh yeah, that system has dreadnoughts but it could also be norman ships if you have not meant the criteria

[elfin lichen]

oh okok

[hazy berry]

im not sure you have to see it yourself

thats all i know

sorry

[hazy berry]

i think quaranteed, i havea alreaydy gotten like 15 s classes

one always

per ship

[random jay]

So question..

Does it effect anything or cause issues with multiplayer to switch back and forth from custom to normal difficulty because me and some friends got low-key kinda tired of trying to grind for Corvette parts so we gave in to the temptation

[charred haven]

cool

[hazy berry]

you can also use the glyps if you want

[elfin lichen]

so is there a difference from a rolled s class and a upgraded to s class freighter?

[hazy berry]

im not 100% what you mean now

[soft anvil]

is it true that smaller area on terrain manipulator nets more resources than larger ones?

[hazy berry]

the freigter that can spawn into that system can be any of the four classes

but the class of the freighter does not affect the rank of the upgrade you get if you destroy it

[charred haven]

There are only very specific achievements that are unavialbe to you if you do this.

Generally story missions, and mercenary missions, have a significant chance of breaking in multiplayer.

Making a corvette should not break in multiplayer afaik

[elfin lichen]

no i had a lapse of knowledge i didnt know u couldnt upgrade them like star ships or tools

mb

[charred haven]

pretty sure they yield same amount. but when using a smaller one you can do it for longer.

short answer yes

[random jay]

We all completed the story we just all got extremely tired of grinding for 1 part lol and gave in to the temptation

So yeah we used it to get free Corvette parts that's it

[charred haven]

you can definietly still play with each oter

[soft anvil]

ok so its a you taking smaller bites thus can take more than a each bite makes more

[charred haven]

multiplayer issues are not difficulty dependant afaik

[random jay]

Does it cut you off from the rest of the player base or no

[elfin lichen]

hey uhh skele, there is a dreadnaught here, ig i have the criteria?

[charred haven]

basically

[charred haven]

no

[random jay]

Phew

[charred haven]

Abbandoned saves are cut off from your regardless of this, but other than that

[hazy berry]

yeah freighters have some of the best upgrades you can get

literally game chancing

[charred haven]

custom and normal can easily play with each other

[elfin lichen]

?

ig i dont need 2 rescues now

[charred haven]

some systems always summon dreadnaughts regardless of warp and wait time

[sly island]

Guys for first time what game mode do i go?

[elfin lichen]

maybe the fact that i have done rescues b4 and now i jus have a freighter?

[hazy berry]

im a bit lost currently sorry

[charred haven]

Does the expedition look appealing to you? It took me 5 hours to complete, but I was pretty focused, though by no means a speedrun

[soft anvil]

what does undamaged drone shell do

or rather

how is it repaired

and whatever doing so does

[charred haven]

screenshot please, I can't recall rn sorry

[charred haven]

I can help other people for a bit, got you

[elfin lichen]

went to the system and there is a dreadnaught

[sly island]

Is it like the main story or smth?

[soft anvil]

thing

this thing

[charred haven]

try describving your issue to skelly again

[hazy berry]

yeah there is supposed to be an dreadnought

isnt that what you wanted

[charred haven]

no

[elfin lichen]

yea ik, i jus thought i couldnt get em yet

[hazy berry]

well thats nice for you then:)

enjoy

[elfin lichen]

yea i suppose thx

[hollow copper]

I have a question about this thing too: what do I do with it??

I get bombarded with these shells that cant even be processed into something like ferrite dust

They just litter my corvettes storage

[river canyon]

Make a friend

[charred haven]

try to watch the expedition trailer. What I will say is that this expedition is not a good representation of what no man's sky is.

If trucking is extremely appealing to you, even if the cargo might constantly fly out of your flatbed, then you can start an expedition save.

Otherwise I recommend you start on normal mode. You can change difficulity throughout your journey after you boot up the save.

Additionally if you want to start the expedition you can easily return to main save

[hazy berry]

how many galaxies have disdoreved, euclid, eissentam and what else?

[charred haven]

you should have a new quest started with this in the inventory

[charred haven]

is this the name of that quest?

@soft anvil

[hazy berry]

uhh

[soft anvil]

AAAAAAAA

[soft anvil]

i see

[charred haven]

that should guide you through it

[soft anvil]

quick question

[charred haven]

yup?

[soft anvil]

can you tame them birbs

[charred haven]

birds?

[soft anvil]

these mf that never land

[charred haven]

some flying creatures, I believe but not all of them

[soft anvil]

only ones i have been allowed to

were the ones that land

[charred haven]

If they don't land you can't tame them

I think

[soft anvil]

sad

[charred haven]

Can someone confirm?

[soft anvil]

they look so cool

Produce crawl milk

shouldnt it be tamable if it produces something?

[dark holly]

Is it possible to build in friends freighter

[river canyon]

Cant tame highflyers, but most of the low flyers don't land, like the orbs or pancakes - or the udders.

All low flyers can be tamed

No birds at all.

[hazy berry]

i thinks so,if they have have allowed it from settings

[dark holly]

Im in my friends freighter and it wont let me build

I built him a base yesterday though

[river canyon]

Are they there with you?

[dark holly]

They are on the planet underneath

[river canyon]

Get them back onboard

See if that works

[dark holly]

Ok

[dark holly]

Its not working

Hes standing to my sidr

[river canyon]

Sounds like a bug to me, if he has it set for friends (or anyone) to build you should be able to. You could try the standards, restart game, reconnect etc.

always*

but yeah I understand

[soft anvil]

is the hijaked laser of the centinel multitoolsjust reskinned mining tool laser or is it any different

[charred haven]

afaik reskinned, potentially with more upside

[plain bobcat]

Is there a reason why i cant continue the autophage quest? I already got the staff that its required and show atlantideum to everything they asked

[soft anvil]

turns out

since it doesnt count as mining beam

you can have a normal beam too

wich increases the damage

and makes the heat basically
not exists

[rare heath]

Am I right in understanding upgrade modules in that as long as they got color, and stack, they are "unrolled", and when I install them, the stats roll and become fixed for that module, even if I uninstall and reinstall it? (this is by observation, I'm just confirming that this is the behavior)

[soft anvil]

after further upgrades my new favourite multitool does 237 damage when mining

withouth heating up

[hollow copper]

Is spending 5m units for a derelict freighter worth it? I did once and was a bit confused if my money paid off or not

[soft anvil]

YOOOOO

[tropic ginkgo]

yes
the tier determines ranges of stat rolls, S being the most reliable, X being the most random (can roll lower than C but higher than S)

[tropic ginkgo]

it's not a way to turn a profit if units are your only concern
it's a decent way of farming freighter upgrades and that's about it

[hazy berry]

or colossas asteroids, that you could land on and setup small mining outpost or research facilities

would be so cool

[proper parcel]

can you get storage upgrade modules by scraping starships both ways. for modules or parts?

[hollow copper]

Not really units, but rather salvaged frigate modules, its quite hard to find them yet you need plenty for the blueprints

[dreamy vector]

oh, can you take it out and put it into a dedicated mining tool or is it sentinel-exclusive?

[spiral glen]

Can a waterworld have wastes ?

I have already seen wastes on gas Giants too

[hazy berry]

like the ones that are completly made of water

dont thinks so, where would the waste be

unless its at the bottom of the ocean

[soft anvil]

it is very much sentinel exclusive

[tropic ginkgo]

I find it easier to max out exploration guild and just fly around stations claiming free modules

[dreamy vector]

aw, that's a shame

[wanton pebble]

how do i get to post images here again?

[hollow copper]

Ah that sounds a lot better

[soft anvil]

you can post iamges here for help

in media for showing

[dreamy vector]

as in industrial waste/salvage scrap?

[soft anvil]

and in other places by reaching level 5

aka talking

[tropic ginkgo]

or was it merchant guild? not sure

[hollow copper]

I think you were right in the first one

Exploration sells those

[tropic ginkgo]

no
no land to drive the colossus on or spawn the processing facility POI on

which is criminal; we absolutely should be able to tie up a bunch of buoys with waste on the nautilon and bring it up to the surface to process somewhere

if this is not just a first iteration of the waste feature that eventually will let players store it on different exocraft and ships and fly them across planets, I'm going to be disappointed yet again

[lusty lagoon]

If I build my staff with beginner stuff, can I exchange parts if I find new stuff later

[sly island]

Do I scan everything

?

[lusty lagoon]

Always scan everything everywhere

[hollow copper]

Its a good way to get units in early game, yes

[lusty lagoon]

Remember to register it all on the discover tab, too

[sly island]

Discover tab?

[lusty lagoon]

Dis one

shows all the systems and planets and flora and fauna and minerals you've found

this button will be your friend

[sly island]

To get nanite clusters or smth like that?

[lusty lagoon]

Yup

[sly island]

Eee ok idk what they do but aight

[lusty lagoon]

You'll need it to buy upgrade blueprints and upgrade modules

[sly island]

Ooo okayyy

[tropic ginkgo]

no, have to build a new staff + there's no "beginner stuff" with staves, it's all cosmetic
class + color is determined by the terminal you assemble it at

[tame hawk]

what the heck is this planet

[lusty lagoon]

By 'beginner stuff', I mean the first things I bought from the first terminal I found
I want a shiny staff, but also I like the undiscovered things better, and was hoping I could swap parts out whne I find them

[tropic ginkgo]

bubble subtype of exotic weird biome

[dreamy vector]

that's kind of already a thing with dead planets/moons

[hazy berry]

well technically

but not really

if ytou get what im meaning

[tropic ginkgo]

cannot, have all the parts you want ready before you assemble the staff then hop around harmonic camps until you find a class + color you want

[dreamy vector]

but also it'd be neat to have asteroids like that that give space resources instead of silica when terraformed, yeah

[lusty lagoon]

Is staying on the same planet okay to go hunting, or should I relocate

[hazy berry]

would be cool if tehy were moving around

[sly island]

Are there no stairs in building wtf

[hazy berry]

im not sure if you have played factorio space age. But it would be really cool to make these "space platform" on asteroids that were moving around and making resources, but the could break so you would have to build them really well

[tropic ginkgo]

last I remember it was per terminal but checking 3 will let you confirm easily

[dreamy vector]

haven't actually played it myself but ik abt it

yeah, that'd be very cool

I'll keep an eye out, thank you

[dreamy vector]

wrong mssg

[lusty lagoon]

oops yes sorry about that

[dreamy vector]

np

[meager kayak]

Is there any way to do older expeditions that have already finished?

[dreamy vector]

is fishing affected by any multitool stats like mining or DMG?

[winter wolf]

only through mods

[meager kayak]

Ah ok

[lusty lagoon]

Gonna spoiler this just in case, question regarding sentinel interceptor so read at your own risk:
||So I ended up with an extra echo, which lead me to a second ship||
||When I reach the point where it sends me to a monolith, I don't get the repaired brain, the monolith just gives me a new weapon, and that's it||
||then it resets to telling me to probe the brain and visit a monolith||
I've done this three times so far, it's perpetual cycle
Am I doing something wrong?

[lusty lagoon]

The bait you use and the depth of the water you're fishing in are the only things that have an effect

deeper water = higher chance for rare fish

Also would I be better off making a staff now with what I have access to, and just make a better one later, or stick with the tools I'm using already and wait

[tropic ginkgo]

follow the instructions in !faq-interceptor
I've run it just now in #bot-spam

you can only have ONE brain in your inventory at a time

[lusty lagoon]

||Once you have reached the Monolith, interact with it to present the brain. This will transform the Hyaline Brain to a Harmonic Brain which is one of the items you will use to repair the Interceptor.||
It doesn't give me this option
I've only got the one Hyaline, no Harmonics, but it won't swap the Hyaline for a Harmonic
that's the problem I'm having

[tropic ginkgo]

the issue is probably that it's a korvax monolith you've done something to before, I don't remember

as only korvax ones offer atlantid multitools

[lusty lagoon]

So I would have to go to another planet to get the right thing

[honest patrol]

when do you start seeing the planets glyph adress in your visor?

[vital estuary]

You can fix the brain first then interact with the other thing. Doing it the other way locks out fixing the brain.

[bold summit]

The headlights on the “wide” colossus cockpit make everything harder to see. Can the headlights be turned off?

[safe glade]

hi everyone, os there a bug with sentinel walker or something? I've tried several towers, got to level 5 but the dude won't show up, I really want to have the conflict scanner but the damn thing won't give me the brain...

[vital estuary]

Shows up in photo mode, and you can see them right from the start of the game in the bottom corner.

[honest patrol]

oh!

[vital estuary]

Bugged, its under the terrain, all too common of a problem.
Usually have to move to a different spot and fight the waves again and hope it pops up that time.

[safe glade]

I've literally hit the mountain limit digging up all of the soil but he wasn't there

so next tower I should stay away from the tower itself?

[vital estuary]

I guess ive never really fought all the waves near the tower/pillar thing, but the more rugged terrain on some planets seems to make the problem worse.

[safe glade]

hmmm... ok, I'll try on another planet, thanks!

[hushed kite]

Hello! I just started playing NMS again and seem to be having a problem with structures not loading in properly, therefore not having collision. It happened with a minor settlement, and now again with an abandoned building. In both instances, I flew off of the planet, then back again, quit to main menu and reloaded, and straight up quit the game and opened it back up. And it hasn't worked to correct the issue. Is this a common problem, and is it fixable?

I am on Xbox Series X, if that helps.

[severe crown]

When it comes to the visor and scanning, do non-colorblind people have as much trouble distinguishing anything in that view as I do? 🤔 It is great for the items and structure markers, but wow is everything else just a uniform washout.

[severe crown]

Same happened to me and I'm told it is a recent bug they are likely working to correct.

[hushed kite]

Okay, cool

[vital estuary]

Yeah clipping through buildings is a bug might be fixed in the experimental build.

[drowsy elbow]

can i find every ship part in one system or will i need to hunt them down in different systems, for regular ships

[hushed kite]

Does it affect the Biological Horrors inability to attack you, if you do try to take shelter after collecting eggs?

I'm asking because I'm on a Permadeath save and don't want to risk dying due to a silly bug.

[vital estuary]

I wouldn't be surprised if they just run through it too, they already kind of did before.
I used to jetpack up on top and shoot at them from there but can't when I clip back through.

[hushed kite]

I won't chance it then. Thank you.

[vital estuary]

It's more of looking at shapes they dont show much color.

[vital estuary]

Might have to hunt a few systems since the designs that spawn in a system are fixed to the seeds.

[drowsy elbow]

thanks

[mystic lake]

how do I access this?

the industrial waste

do I need that gravity thing?

[drowsy elbow]

gravitino coil multi tool attachment

[mystic lake]

ah ok

what would Id o with it then?

[drowsy elbow]

turn it in for rewards at the whatchamacallit

recycler place

[lusty lagoon]

But it doesn't give me the option to fix the brain, that's the problem
I get one interaction, it syas 'you're done, go talk to the other thing', then that other thing gives me a weapon

I'm gonna move to another planet and try there

[mystic lake]

ah ok

[lusty lagoon]

hopefully it's just the planet or something

[honest patrol]

The small amount of stuff I've thrown in that waste disposal plant was so not worth the effort. Are there any worthwhile rewards for that activity at all? I mean for hauling stuff across the map for 20mins in a colossus.

[lusty lagoon]

Look for waste depots with your scanner, you'll get big deposits of the valuable things
More scrap recycled = new parts for the colossus

[vital estuary]

When you take the brain from the ship it should have the "probe conscience" option that sends you to the monolith where you head to the usual center piece, then that should have an option to repair it where it goes through the dialog and gives you the fixed one, then head back to the ship and plop it in.

So is it not letting you even interact with the monolith?

[wheat cove]

If "that other thing" is a pillar on the monolith with a purple effect and noise, then you've engaged the autophage/atlantid version of the korvax monolith that won't let you fix the brain

[lusty lagoon]

I took the brain, probed consciousness, went to the monolith
But I am not getting the rpair the brain, and I am not getting the fixed one
It sends me to talk to the interaction pillar with the runes, that gives me a weapon, then the whole thing shuts down
and it goes back to the 'probe the brain in your inventory'

Let me put the steps:
Probe brain
go to monolith
interact with pillar
feed the runes
interact with top of monolith
select a dialogue
get sent back to pillar
get weapon
am told to probe brain again
repeat to infinity

It'll just go throught hat whole thing with a new monolith and give me a clone of the weapon
I've gotten three so far

[vital estuary]

Wonder if some other mission is messing with it? I know part of a quest does tell you to interact with the pop up pillar but that was a one time quest deal.
You wouldn't already have a fixed brain lurking somewhere either by chance?

[lusty lagoon]

Nope
I had the one, used it to repair a ship, was flying around in that
swapped to my corvette in hopes of that being the problem, and nope
just got the one broken brain

[vital estuary]

Cant feed the runes and stuff first or it locks out the repair brain option.
Do the pillar after.

[lusty lagoon]

well that is dumb

[vital estuary]

The pillar also sends you to the thing in the center.

[lusty lagoon]

yes

[vital estuary]

I did that once too

[lusty lagoon]

the marker gives me the pillar, I feed the pillar, it sends me to the top

[vital estuary]

Should be marking the top with the sentinel ship icon and not the pillar, even though that pillar just screams "touch me" when it pops up.

[wheat cove]

Don't feed the pillar, just talk to the monolith

[lusty lagoon]

mumble grumble

[scenic saffron]

What does it mean when it says
"Discovered UI_Number_13 years ago"

[lusty lagoon]

Will give it another shot

[lusty lagoon]

An old account discovered that thing 13 years ago, and that's either their username or something went wrong
could be a deleted account or something

[tropic ginkgo]

for fixing brains you cannot use monoliths you've previously used for something else
if it's not in the guide, it should be added

[lusty lagoon]

I can't help which one it sends me to

[meager kayak]

What stuff from the expedition can I transfer over to my main save?

[scenic saffron]

It says the name of my acc that discovered it
Although i doubt ive been playing since 13 years ago

[vital estuary]

I don't know if they eventually reset though they might, probably depends on how long the data was stored in your save file.

[scenic saffron]

the system in question is the only one that was supposedly discovered more than 4 years ago

Maybe I played and forgot?

[vital estuary]

I had that show up once too cant remember what caused it, was around the time i changed my nickname on Steam but could have been something else like the save file not syncing like it should or something.

[scenic saffron]

maybe

[vital estuary]

Nah was replying about the monolith.

The game showing your system as being discovered so long ago was something else.

[scenic saffron]

oh
you mustve replied to me on accident

[vital estuary]

When it happened to me I had only been playing a couple months, certainly not 10 years ago.

[scenic saffron]

Was nms always on gamepass

[vital estuary]

Not sure.

[tropic ginkgo]

#nms-expedition pins

[meager kayak]

thanks

i couldnt see anything about it in the pins, but can i keep units, nanites, and learned blueprints from the expedition?

[winter wolf]

units, nanites, and any items you choose to export from the expedition are kept. learned blueprints are not

[meager kayak]

Thanks

[winter wolf]

any items that are not exported are converted to units or nanites (whichever is appropriate) and added to the total

[honest patrol]

this is in no way boardable, yes? I can only shoot those floating pods?

[tropic ginkgo]

yes
no landing pads = not a landable derelict

[vapid arch]

activated means its a harsh planet?

are dissonant planets always harsh?

[tropic ginkgo]

activated stellar metal = extreme weather

[slate kite]

Hey Im traveling through different portal addresses and none of the podiums are popping up... This seems to be a problem with every address ive gone to so far.

[analog scroll]

Which podiums?

[soft anvil]

do shops stuff changes if i do a quick portal travel to my freighter?

[slate kite]

The ones that pop up at the portals

[soft anvil]

specifically do station shops do this

[analog scroll]

If you travel through a portal, the podium on the other side may not pop up because it's already active and connected.

Also, there are 2 sides to each portal

[analog scroll]

A given shop has a fixed inventory of modules. They won't change, but they will reset in time or after a save+reload

[soft anvil]

mmmmm

good

[visual ocean]

what type of suspension do you guys usually go with for the roamer?

[rare orbit]

If one moves their base computer, does the center of the base move with it by chance?

[hushed nest]

You can’t move your base computer

[stuck berry]

Driftttt for speed

[hushed nest]

It’ll just delete the base

[hushed saffron]

You can in fact pick up and move the base computer

[stuck berry]

You can though

[hushed saffron]

I've done it before

I don't think it moves the radius, though

[hushed nest]

You can

??

[hushed saffron]

Yup

[hushed nest]

News to me

[stuck berry]

No, it does not move the radius/origin of the base

[hushed saffron]

Just like youd move any other base part

Because well technically it is one

[stuck berry]

For a long time we couldn't, but then we could

[lusty lagoon]

Would constructing decorations help with this or do I just keep ugprading ibuildings

[vapid arch]

Does the first organic frigate always come with the same stats total, or can we get a better one if we hop system?

[hushed saffron]

That seems to be the pattern for this game lol

[rare orbit]

ty for the help 🙂

[hazy berry]

are pirate space stations the only way to get repair kits consistantly?

im not sure if i should even stock up on them

maybe for galaxy jump

[stuck berry]

It only would if that trait is at the end of the list, though of course the stats it adds would counteract that until then. It'll be replaced by something positive eventually

[vapid arch]

just use a different multitool and ship before jumping, and never repair it

[hushed saffron]

Derilect freighters also give repair kits if you take the emergency resources and stuff at the start, so you can get a lot of you're farming a derilect

Autophage terminals also sell repair kits for void motes

[hazy berry]

yeah but your exosuit still breaks

[lusty lagoon]

I have no idea how to fix these

[hushed saffron]

Id recommend having at least a stack of repair kits on hand at all times, you never know when something is gonna break

[lusty lagoon]

the heck am I supposed to do about spiders and anomalies?!

[vapid arch]

if you remove the tech from it, also? im not sure on that, i forgot to remove mine when i finished the artemis questline and had to repair everything xD

[hushed saffron]

Same, except I didn't swap ships or multitools either

[lusty lagoon]

Can strip everything but the basics and reinstall it after, yeah

[hushed saffron]

Thank GOODNESS I still had the good ol radiant pillar

[hazy berry]

yeah, i think i had to repair everyuthing

[brazen flame]

whenever im tabbed into NMS if i hold down capslock it constantly flickers on and off

[hushed saffron]

Never getting rid of that ship

[brazen flame]

but as soon as i tab out it works fine

[brazen flame]

even if i tap it if the tap is long enough it flickers

[hushed saffron]

Same, I think it's just a random quirk of nms

[hazy berry]

im so rich that its easier to just buy the repair kits than bother with removing and rebalancing everything

[analog scroll]

You don't? You make decisions for the mission and they fix themselves in time

[hushed saffron]

Hmm would an occasional population loss debuff ever be able to reduce your population settlement to zero?

settlement population*

how'd I reverse that...

[vapid arch]

Guys I'm looking into getting that first living frigate to be a bit more balanced to support leveling my other ships, any way to redistribute this a bit more?

[hushed saffron]

Assuming that's even how they work

[analog scroll]

!faq-livingfrigate in #nms-commands will show you how to feed it and what the foods do

[hazy berry]

the foods did not work for me

it gave completly different stats that are shown in the photos

[bright mural]

any word on when Switch will get updated? been playing XB on the TV and Switch for handheld

[hazy berry]

is there any quick way to sell all of these, instead of taking them out one by one

i need more storage

and dont know why i habe so much of those

[analog scroll]

We don't get a heads up about any updates, ever

[analog scroll]

No, they have to be in your suit or ship to sell them at the terminal, and there's no way to bulk sell or bulk move

[bright mural]

I'll keep checking the #nms-news-ticker 🫡

[ocean berry]

Is it still possible to get a titan worm pet? on ps5, new player. Wasn’t sure where to go sorry if it’s a annoying Q

[analog scroll]

You can get an egg from someone who has the expedition pet, but that's all

[soft anvil]

whats a walker brain and how do i get one

[ocean berry]

Oh okay thank you

[analog scroll]

The brain from a sentinel walker, and you kill the walker and loot it

[soft anvil]

are those like

the big fellas

the exomech looking ones yes

[gray shoal]

Use ships as storage

[hazy berry]

im doing it

guess i need to upgrade another ship to 120 slots...

[gray shoal]

I have all ships storage maxed

[hazy berry]

12 ships?

But isnt annoying to summon every one of them when you need something

With freightwr you juts summon it to the same system and matter beam does the rest

[gray shoal]

11. I have 1 free slot just in case

[gray shoal]

I have most things i use in 2 ships nad freighter. Rest is mostly collectible stuff

[honest patrol]

walkers are not to be confused with the hardframe mechs fyi

[soft anvil]

hardframe mechs

this is confusing

[hazy berry]

not just sure wwhat ships to upgrade - im working on my freigter storage ofcourse

i mostly use corvettes but you can only summon one corbette at time

and multiple normal ships

[honest patrol]

when the aleart level rises during a fight, the game sometimes announces a walker, while it's really still a hardframe

clap the hardframe and next up a walker should appear

[analog scroll]

Walkers appear at wanted level 5, and only at wanted level 5.

[honest patrol]

the game still makes confusing announcements on alert 4

[hazy berry]

tyndall how much do you know wbout fishing in nms

i have question related to that

[analog scroll]

Pick a spot, cast your lure, wait for fish

[hazy berry]

yeah that i knew.. but are the specialised lures worth it. like 1200 gamma weed is quite lot for few fishes

[vapid arch]

Why am I falling through the ground in one of my settlements, and how do I prevent this, and will I die if I keep falling? I am on permadeath so got scared and used jetpack instantly to go back into the overseer office

[analog scroll]

Sounds like a bug to me

[honest patrol]

is it a Vykeen settlement?

[vapid arch]

I summoned my colossus and after entering and exiting it the ground became fall-through-proof again

[analog scroll]

They can be, yes. They are used to catch certain fish in certain biomes. It's not guaranteed, and you can rarely catch them without the special lures, it just increases the chances

[vapid arch]

It's the new roborace guy's one
