[storm idol]

aww man, its a fishing one...

[swift sand]

if you've not tried using photo mode yet, give it a try sometime

[safe glade]

I did, but didn't find it much better than the exocraft

[hushed saffron]

I wonder if there's a mod for that

[safe glade]

but this settlement drives me nuts because many panels are hidden and you can't see it unless you literally next to it

[bright seal]

asking if we could have a combat update around ground battles and new multitool weapons, maybe 1 or 2. (I reallly want a sword 🥺 )

[swift sand]

it could be cool yeah! that said,

1. this is a community run server, no devs here
2. #nms-the-future is probably a better place to talk about ideas for the game
3. devs have chosen the zendesk service to collect feedback and suggestions from the players too, not just bug reports, so always feel free to let them know (the more voices join in a certain request, the more likely it is they'll try to include it in their plans, if it wasnt already). can get the link by typing !hg in #bot-spam for example, at any time

[alpine blaze]

Whats the pattern?

[swift sand]

numbers are moving to the left each time, getting pushed to the end when they reach first position - so ||6533||

[alpine blaze]

Oh

I was mashing in my calculator like a... uh... uhm...

16?

[swift sand]

--kzzzt--

[alpine blaze]

--kzzzt--

[swift sand]

always feel free to ask when you feel like you're stuck 🙂

[alpine blaze]

Ok

[placid radish]

i saw a giant worm how can i scan him ?

[alpine blaze]

dont know

But probably get closer never works for me

because they spawn a billion units away

[swift sand]

it's not an animal on the planets fauna list, despite having a red dot. that said, if you aim visor at the right spot, you can see some info without even scanning

[alpine blaze]

Also where is the atlas pass thing?

[placid radish]

but how can i chase him ?

[swift sand]

to unlock atlas pass, goto anomaly, interact with synthesis laboratory terminal in the back room. remember, it's an infinite use item, and higher tier versions accumulate all lower tier functionality

[alpine blaze]

Ok

[swift sand]

he's too fast haha - you'd basically want to fly after him. that said, you dont really need to. if it spawned once, it will certainly spawn again on that planet, and nearby you, so whenever you hear his spawn scream, just look out

[alpine blaze]

another problem when using the egg sequencer all resulting creatures are the old one but with a different color

[placid radish]

it's rare or commun ?

[alpine blaze]

Only spawns on specific planets

Xeno colonies and co

[placid radish]

and is it rare to see him a second time ?

[proper parcel]

i saw a short of somebody standing on their enormous corvette. looked like it was scaled up somehow. this just vidoe editing or ai? or is there a way to supersize parts thaat ive missed? occuring to me now mabey a mod. i havent played withthem at all

[swift sand]

they only spawn on some planets; but will always spawn in infested subtype planets. even excluding infested subtypes, it's fairly common to find planets where they spawn, pretty much any biome except weird aka exotic iirc can happen, with different chances.

[alpine blaze]

probl a mod

[swift sand]

@placid radish type !faq-biomes in #nms-commands , see the image thumbnail, there's the infested subtype synonyms

[swift sand]

well, that should depend on what you're actually using the egg sequencer for - are you using the gene splitter input as well? overdosing it? there's a chance it could change some of the attachments, but not the creature type

[thick gull]

I couldn't find this on the Fandom wiki. Anybody know what I'm supposed to do with this? I already communicated with it, but it doesn't yield anything.

[swift sand]

there's a way to be able to use more than 100 strut parts, but it can cause issues for other players when in multiplayer

[proper parcel]

those worms scare the shitz outa me man

[alpine blaze]

Like I have a bug craeture but any of the "children" are the old bug but in this case yelllow and bumpy

[swift sand]

messenger of the atlas is just a space encounter that will teach you an atlas word (if you've not maxed yet) via ship comms (approach and answer), there's several diff 3d models for it but all with that same function. once you're done, just move on

[nimble forum]

Is this stats good for a first freighter ship? (not free)

[swift sand]

did you try using different materials? do you have a screenshot of the pet just to see what you're referring to?

[alpine blaze]

Yes

[thick gull]

Right after sending my message, I looked up Messenger of Atlas, instead of Sentinel Salvage Site that it was also showing.

[swift sand]

until you take ownership of a freighter all freighters rescued from pirates will be offered for free. it shouldnt take long to get your first rescue battle event, if you keep progressing main story and dont have options/difficulty/space combat set to none. but that said, looks fine for a first freighter, inventory size can be upgraded too

[alpine blaze]

Even the size is the same

[thick gull]

It didn't show that I learned anything, hmmm.

[swift sand]

well, size it will take a bit to grow to full size/adult after hatching the egg - but i have a beetle that was maxed out in size through egg sequencer and it's just absolutely gigantic. in terms of color, not sure, but i think i've been able to mod their colors before, so maybe try different materials or perhaps it's bugged

[alpine blaze]

Oh ok

I will wait

[swift sand]

well, best way to learn atlas words is through atlas stations anyway

[alpine blaze]

but how long

[nimble forum]

i rejected my free frighter, it wasnt looking good and it was the lowest class. this one is a random one i docked with first time im seeing this high a class thats why i asked

[swift sand]

gotcha. but yeah, you could just keep going, or take that one. personally, i would have taken the first one, despite what it was - this because early on, i'm not going to have the upgrades to make use of a higher class freighter anyway.

[swift sand]

a few days i guess

it varies a bit

[alpine blaze]

hope so

it is maxed out

that you know

[swift sand]

@alpine blaze sorry, not sure if that was a question - mind rephrasing if it was?

[alpine blaze]

Uh ok

[alpine blaze]

what one

[alpine blaze]

both

[swift sand]

both what sorry, not understanding what you're trying to ask now

[alpine blaze]

nothing

that were my questions

[swift sand]

ah okay 🙂

[alpine blaze]

I mean there are message modules but that's not gonna work for your purposes

[lofty wind]

I thought they had a message computer. That others can see and write as well.

[near scarab]

Hey guys, anything under "Used for: Trading" are just for sell, they don't serve any other purposes ?

[analog scroll]

Everything is just to sell

[indigo trellis]

yeah that's the only thing i could find, but it only has like 6 words before you run out of space

[analog scroll]

As a note: The communication stations cannot be deleted

[near scarab]

lol i don't wonna sell something that i would need later, or its hard to obtain to craft with

[analog scroll]

If it only says Used For: Trading, you're safe to sell it. There are very few items that are used for anything else (mainly settlement upgrades, but those can be purchased)

[runic crown]

any way to stack floors ontop of eachother without having to eyeball it

[analog scroll]

Why would you need to? Genuinely curious is all, and I may have a solution for you depending on your answer

[runic crown]

i want to place a storage container exactly in thje middle but when u use the storage glitch or whatever its named it the object placed sinks into the ground a little

im using alloy floors

[analog scroll]

Oh. Half walls probably won't help in that situation

Floors aren't going to snap on top of other floors, you'd have to free place in that case

[runic crown]

thats a shame

still thank you

[visual ocean]

guys is it worth trying to upgrade this royal multitool i just found and make it my main MT or should i stick to my current one that i have almost maxed out

[winter phoenix]

Different types are good at different things. Royals are notorious for being the best at something few people care about. But all tools are better than rifles so it's still a bit of an upgrade.

[jovial ice]

oh fun, i never knew that aswell, thought the shapes didn't matter

[visual ocean]

oh damn maybe i shouldve just go with my staff instead then 😂

i got the rifle super early and its been really good but now i have a staff, an atlantid MT and now i just found the royal one

so im really torn on which one to go for

[winter phoenix]

It can still be meaningful to have multiple tools. Because you only get 4 supercharged slots in a tool. I'd keep one staff or sentinel for combat with its weapon supercharged, an atlantid tool with its mining beam supercharged and a third tool of whichever type you think looks the prettiest with scanning supercharged

[cold parrot]

How do I find my ship in the Expedition 😅😅

[visual ocean]

hmmm thats a good point

[winter phoenix]

You only get a ship at the end, just so you can use it to summon the anomaly and end the expedition

[visual ocean]

i guess the royal one will be my scanner then

[cold parrot]

Sooo how do I get the one shenanigans to build the colossus bay shenanigans 😅😅

[nimble nova]

I am already at the blue system but i cant fund any indium... any advice plssss

[visual ocean]

just look around with the visor

you should find a deposit sooner or later

[winter phoenix]

Are you sure you're actually in a blue system? Every world should have some chromatic metal. If it isn't indium you're probably not in a blue system.

[nova patio]

to me the stat differences aren’t substantial enough to warrant sacrificing the look i want, my atlantid multitool has done great because of the double mining beam glitch though

[winter phoenix]

If you're on PC you can also just copy the stats of any tool onto that of another to get the look you want with the stats you want

[nimble nova]

I meann im not sure either hahahahh

[solid oasis]

Does abandoned mode have harmonic camps?

[nimble nova]

Its blue on my end hahaha

[visual ocean]

check in the discoveries tab

[winter phoenix]

That looks like a green system to me

[visual ocean]

if the dot of the current system is blue, youll find indium

[stuck berry]

That's yellow.

Stars that have their stellar class begin with F or G are yellow star systems

[winter phoenix]

This is why I've turned off the galactic fog. It's so hard to tell color on the starmap with that intense background color

[nimble nova]

This is what i am confused with, the star i travelled is color blue, but the dot is color yellow hahaha

[nimble nova]

How should i see the letters?

[visual ocean]

G means a yellow sys

[visual ocean]

im using a mod that makes the star colors have more contrast

[winter phoenix]

Also a good solution. But I feel that space should be mostly black so I liked just turning off the fog instead

[visual ocean]

in vanilla its especially difficult for me to differentiate blue from purple

[nimble nova]

Ehhhhhhh okokok, so thats the meaning of it hahaha

[rare orbit]

okay, super dumb question -- what does the "Water" mean x.x

[stuck berry]

That at least one world in that system has oceans

[nimble nova]

How do i do that?

Like this?

[visual ocean]

if it says "dissonant" instead of "water" it means at least one of the planets has corrupted sentinels

[stuck berry]

yes, and that does not mean it lacks worlds with oceans

[stuck berry]

Dissonant just takes display priority

[stuck berry]

That's blue!

Also, the star size ranges vary between star colors a lot, so blue and red stars look much larger on the map

[winter phoenix]

That does look quite pretty while still being reasonably easy to tell them apart. I still lick my version though

[stuck berry]

for a long time, I filtered yellow stars based on size before finding the Deuteranopia filter and mods

I still need to release this mod guh

[feral rover]

why can't I interact with these? it always wants me to save with the beacon from all kinds of angles .-.

[visual ocean]

known bug, the interaction hitboxes glitch out sometimes

[stuck berry]

Their interaction positions are misaligned due to a bug, it may be in the air or smth

[visual ocean]

happens to me way too often than i want to admit

[visual ocean]

yup sometimes its up in the air or below in the ground

[nimble nova]

Seems i found activated indium instead hahahah anw thank you guysssss

[feral rover]

the many bugs I meet in this game every time I come back 😂 still fun but annoying that this happens regardless

[visual ocean]

ms paint ahh colors

[visual ocean]

btw is this also a mod or is it an option in the vanilla game

[stuck berry]

Most likely mod

The only thing without mods you can do is the colorblind filters

which are really good for yellow and purple systems (deuteranopia)

[winter phoenix]

Sorry for not being clear. Yes, it is a mod. You can achieve somewhat similar effects with colorblind filters but that comes with some downsides. The mod I use is https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1586

[visual ocean]

[gaunt compass]

i placed solar panels and batteries on my base and now they’re just gone. i still have power but i would like to know how to see them again

[stuck berry]

Is your base extremely high up?

[gaunt compass]

yes

[stuck berry]

Then it's too high.

[gray shoal]

Also mod for limiting visible systems to region u are in would be helpful

[stuck berry]

When it's too high, non-structural objects fail to spawn when reloaded

but they're still there technically/a part of the base, which is rlly annoying

[gaunt compass]

what are non structural objects

[stuck berry]

anything that isn't in the Large, Timber, Stone, Alloy or Salvaged Structures categories

[gaunt compass]

i have things like short range teleporters and landing pads higher than the solar panels were but they stay there

[stuck berry]

Then maybe they count, idk

some other important objects probably also count in that class of things

[lost raptor]

Where do i report a bug in the game ?

[south tartan]

Can you aim with the boltcaster? If so, what is the button for KB/M and controller (Xbox)?

[stuck berry]

At best, you can install the Combat Scope which adds the ability to zoom in slightly

[runic crown]

does each dissonant planet have their harmonic camp

or is it not guaranteed

[magic nebula]

Key word is slightly\

[south tartan]

When you get that, what button to you press to zoom in

[stuck berry]

All of them that are inhabited. Worlds with Gold or Rusted Metal are not considered inhabited, and all worlds in uncharted systems (no race icon) are also not considered inhabited

[runic crown]

ohh

alright

[stuck berry]

One of the bumbers on controller, and right click on KBM

[south tartan]

Random question... are there gas giants in NMS?

[stuck berry]

Very much so, but they are in a type of star system that is locked behind a few major missions #nms-commands message

[south tartan]

Okay, follow-up question... are there planets/moons that go around them?

[stuck berry]

Yes, Gas Giants always have 5 moons

[south tartan]

That's gonna be my goal

[south tartan]

Can I build there..?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can build on any planet

[south tartan]

Huuuuuge

[stuck berry]

also, there are giants that aren't gas giants, that are basically any other biome in the game

[south tartan]

That's understandable

[stuck berry]

they don't have increased gravity, so they're basically just closer to being IRL-earth sized

[south tartan]

That would be similar to something like a super-earth

damn

[stuck berry]

these "terrestrial giants" are definitely rarer though than gas giants

[south tartan]

Interesting...

Lots to explore

[winter phoenix]

Well, arguably they're more like mini-earths. Just less mini than other planets in the game

[south tartan]

Yeah I figured that when he said it

Pretty much impossible to make a life-like planet in the game lol

[south tartan]

Are the missions to discover gas giants related to the story..? How does one come across these missions?

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, you have to do stuff after the story to begin the mission that reveals/unlocks them #nms-commands message

[south tartan]

Yeah that's kinda what I meant

Can you craft wiring looms?

[stuck berry]

No, we cannot

[south tartan]

cringe

[stuck berry]

at best, we can purchase low class upgrades, install them, then dismantle them

[hazy berry]

Or use units

[winter phoenix]

Wiring looms are available at every single station and are not particularly expensive. Why are we looking for alternatives?

[analog scroll]

Every station sells them, even abandoned ones

[nimble nova]

How do i traverse to another galaxy? When i did the Atlas path, i chose to not reset the sims, is there any other way to still go to another galaxy??

[unique hare]

Well wiring loom is the kind of crafting part that the beginner player feel like he is constantly in need of. I'm saying this as a player who feels like just(very) slowly becoming an intermediate player. This is also the part when you kind of stop mining with manipulator and you start buying elements instead. I feel like I need wiring loom a lot less lately. 🙂

[analog scroll]

The Atlas Path doesn't send you anywhere, the main story (Artemis Path) does. You can also get a taxi, teleport to a base in another galaxy (Anomaly has 3 featured bases in galaxies other than Euclid) or warp via the core from one to the next

[nimble nova]

Oh yeah i mean the artemis one... Wdym warp via core? The galactic core?

[wheat cove]

If you reach the core of the galaxy, you get into the next one in the sequence

NB: You have to use the directional warp thing, you can't click on the galactic core

[nimble nova]

Okkkkk thank youuyy

[wheat cove]

(That had me so confused when I made it there)

[analog scroll]

Also note that 3k ly is the closest you will get, but when you're in a gateway system (Galactic Core line goes directly into the core), you can make the jump regardless of your available range

Yeah, core warps are different for sure

[nimble nova]

Selecting this one? How many jumps you had to get the to the core?

[analog scroll]

Depends how far away you are

[nimble nova]

Ehhhh alright thankssss

[analog scroll]

Once you have portal glyphs unlocked it's a lot easier. x12 will get you within 5k ly of the core in every galaxy

[nimble nova]

I read this, but where do use the glyphs?

[analog scroll]

Portals. !faq-portal in #nms-commands to see how to find them. There's 1 on each planet

[nimble nova]

Or should i somehow farm or earn the glyphs?

[analog scroll]

You learn them all when completing the story

[tender blaze]

is it possible to just encounter another player when playing the game? At least in the Euclid system? I've got almost 50h now and only times I've encountered players are anomoly related stuff

[dense rock]

How to do screen's with glyph's?

[stuck berry]

Yes. When two or more players reach the same star system and have multiplayer enabled, they are matchmade to be in the same multiplayer instance and will see messages in the chat describing what each other is actively doing

[tender blaze]

oh neet

[stuck berry]

This is exceptionally rare to happen without some factor specifically connecting those players, whether it's portal glyph coordinates or just grouping up via the main menu

[stuck berry]

Open Photo Mode using the Quick Menu, and unhide the UI

[severe crown]

Interesting thing about this, I thought if I had the glyphs on screen and clicked to take a picture, it would come out with them showing. It did not and I'm not sure why. I have had to do a printscreen instead.

[dense rock]

I found other solution

[dense rock]

It is same

F12

Normal photomode doesn't work

[stuck berry]

Photos taken using photo mode will never save the UI, and also fail to use anti-aliasing in most cases resulting in very poor image quality. Always use an external screenshotting method instead (like F12 with Steam Overlay)

[near scarab]

hey grouch, can the minautor exocraft radar help me fight broken freighters? iam looking for those frigate moduls

[stuck berry]

It should be able to! It probably sources all of the distress signal chart structures

[lost raptor]

How do I deal with being trapped somewhere in the frame of my Frieghter ? Minimal movement area Stuck.

[stuck berry]

yup

[stuck berry]

Options > General > Reset Position in Freighter

If you're in your ship, just dismiss the freighter using the quick menu

[near scarab]

now the bigger question, why is it called frigate module and not freighter module?

[lost raptor]

Nice I like that one. Saved me. Whew !!

[rustic zealot]

Question of the decade. Never had a clue

[near scarab]

glad iam not the only one thought about it

[stuck berry]

That is a good question, probably because saying "freighter module" could be confused for the upgrade modules for freighters, but at the same time those upgrade modules are far more oriented towards frigate expeditions than the tech unlocked with salvaged frigate modules

[near scarab]

your answer is... somehow acceptable, 6/10

[lost raptor]

Where can I buy or find Counterfeit Circuts ?

[stuck berry]

Outlaw Stations, either from the Contraband Agent, landed pilots or from missions from the Bounty Master

[lost raptor]

All that is in a Outlaw Economy ?

[stuck berry]

In any Outlaw System, which have their own economy and conflict tiers of "Black Market" and "Pirate Controlled"

You can see this data for star systems that you haven't visited yet by having an Economy Scanner or Conflict Scanner installed respectively. You can unlock the blueprints for those from Iteration: Hyperion aboard them Space Anomaly.

[lost raptor]

Many thanks. 👍

[south tartan]

How does one acquire a repair kit?

[stuck berry]

You can purchase them from the Contraband Agent aboard Outlaw Stations, as well as a few other sources https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Repair_Kit

[sharp delta]

This bothers me so much

[jovial ice]

can a creature go extinct if hunted too often? ive always wondered that specially since we get cool flavor texts in some planets abt extinct species

oh ok

[sharp delta]

I think they just spawn new ones

[stuck berry]

This is not a mechanic in No Man's Sky. "Extinction" just refers to fauna, flora and minerals that no longer appear on that planet due to updates changing it drastically in the past.

[jovial ice]

ohhhh i see that's interesting

[stuck berry]

Fauna haven't really had this happen since 2020, a bug makes extinct Flora and Minerals appear in the fauna category though (which the last times this happened for them was Worlds Part I & II)

[south tartan]

Frigates coming soon..?

[stuck berry]

#nms-commands message

[sharp delta]

Corvette is basically the same size as the frigates

And that’s the only difference I can think of between them and normal ships because they even look exactly the same as the normal ships just bigger and npc controllled

[south tartan]

I’ve looked at that channel and it hasn’t helped me once lol

[sharp delta]

Also has anyone else noticed the new ball behind glass at the anomaly where you buy the blueprints and modules it wasn’t there the other day does anyone know its purpose?

[stuck berry]

The links I send are specific commands that I have pre-inputted that contain relevant info

the one in that link was related to Frigates and Frigate Expeditions

[gentle mirage]

Can I do the Atlas Path after I finish the Artemis path?

[stuck berry]

What are you referring to?

[south tartan]

Ohhhh frigates are a thing I forgot lmao

They’re the little ships that follow your freighter

[gentle mirage]

I heard about a bug that locked you out of the Atlas path if you finished the Artemis path first

[stuck berry]

Yes. There aren't any missions in No Man's Sky that are mutually exclusive

[sharp delta]

The one in the middle

[stuck berry]

I have never heard of this.

so I would be apprehensive to believe it

[stuck berry]

Do you mean the hologram of the Space Anomaly?

[sharp delta]

Ye the ball I have played for years and only noticed today

Am I just being blind

[stuck berry]

It has been there since the 2.00 Beyond update in 2019, which added the current Space Anomaly interior
(This screenshot is from it's update page https://www.nomanssky.com/beyond-update/)

[analog scroll]

No such thing I'm aware of

[sharp delta]

Thankyou I’ll have a look at that link does it serve a purpose the ball I mean?

[stuck berry]

It does not

[sharp delta]

Oh XD

[severe crown]

Mission to collect faecium, but the creatures are not cooperating.
Bugged? Or do I just stand around waiting for them to explode? 🤨

[stuck berry]

Bugged I believe

[stuck berry]

all creatures universe-wide are constipated

[severe crown]

Good to know.
Related question...any penalty for dropping a mission? 😁

[stuck berry]

No

[young steeple]

do you specifically have to "collect" it? Or can you just refine Mordite instead?

[stuck berry]

Yes, I have had reports that this no longer works though

[lucid gate]

feed them while you make a big circle, when you reach your 1st fed animal, it will already pooped, this is the faecium.

[stuck berry]

I believe the objective is to collect the objects they drop, not just gather Faecium

[lucid gate]

mordite usually droped from agressive animals when you kill them, are other ways yes, but cant remember them now. can refine it also, iirc is faecium

[young steeple]

So the quest should really read "Chase a fed animal with a pooper-scooper" 🧐

[severe crown]

Not working. They holdin' it in. 🫤

[stuck berry]

I am also observing this, it is indeed bugged.
I have been waiting 3 minutes around a group of 10 fauna that I fed, it would normally only take about a minute for them to defecate

[lucid gate]

can get mordite also by mixing carbon and pugneum

[severe crown]

Tested. The mission does not care how you get it, just that you have it in inventory. Between the recipes mentioned above and some I had back at base for farming, mission complete!
Thanks.
(Also, still reported the bug. those animals can't be comfortable like this.)

[stuck berry]

Ooooo neat! I do recall many expedition milestones recording the actual poop collection though

[severe crown]

Luckily, this was just a '?' mission from the Nexus. Might not work this way for story/expedition mission that need it.

[near scarab]

Guys is there a way to see mutiple ships characteristics ?

[vestal totem]

first timer question, where did my damn hauler starship go x_x, i just made a corvette & the ship is nowhere to be found, had a lot in the inventory XD

[lucid gate]

basically all missions that require a material, dont care how you get it. if you have already in your inventory and accept the mision, plenty of them show you directly to the sell/buy spot.

[stuck berry]

Quick Menu > Summon Vehicles > Switched Docked Ship, it should be there

if it isn't then you may have selected "Exchange" which exchanges your current ship for the ship you are claiming

[vestal totem]

thank u!

[manic lava]

In the current expedition there's a task where i've to scan 2 lifeforms inside my exo vehicle
Problem is, i already have scanned 5/6 lifeforms on this planet and since i cant travel with my ship i dont rly know how to complete this one (should be in phase 3 if i remember correctly)

I also tried to upload those creatures while being in my exo vehicle but this didnt also worked

Is there a way that i can complete this task?

[swift sand]

should be able to just scan the last fauna, and then hit the additional bonus nanite reward button to complete the milestone

[manic lava]

Alright, i'll try that
Thx :)

[mossy sluice]

do anybody know where to get this ship?

[stuck berry]

Only via unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message or from another player trading you one #nms-legacy-ships message (ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades)

It's the Starborn Phoenix, which is a variation of the Starborn Runner that was only given as a free limited-time Steam DLC that was only available for a week
https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Starborn_Phoenix

[mossy sluice]

ok but wil it be avalible again?

[stuck berry]

Most likely no. If it ever is, it could be years until then.

[mossy sluice]

ok thx

[lucid gate]

Expedition 12: Omega. gives the starborn runner which is same with different colors, if they ever add for replay this expedition.

[full pollen]

I have a pretty well-developed settlement that gets Sentinel attacks every so often. Just recently I've run into a problem where they attack, I kill them all, I hear the Sentinel "deactivation" sound, but the attack warning doesn't go away. I can teleport out, back in, and more Sentinels. Any fix for this?

[neon dew]

Should I go into farming and extracting early?

[lucid gate]

usually i had similar prob when the settlement was at start as class C. but you leave and come back in a min and still are there, sounds a bug to me. in my 2nd settlement i had the opportunity to make a defence building for them, and after that, they attacking me the ground creatures, lol did you try kill all, save game and reload the save?

[lost jay]

As a new player, besides unlocking the buildable technologies what else should I be doing with salvaged data?

[young steeple]

Aside from refining it for nanites, you're on the right track for its use

You'll almost certainly accidentally sell it in the future when you find out you need a bunch for recipes :>

Btw, am I crazy or do the wierd gravity storms chase me around?

[modern token]

hey guys sorry if i'm not supposed to ask here but do purple ships even exist

i've never seen any

[stuck berry]

Most ship types do not have purple as a possible color

[modern token]

not that ik of at least

[modern token]

man what the heck 💔

[stuck berry]

at best, you can just fabricate your own as purple

[modern token]

i guesss

thanks

[stuck berry]

but that still means that sentinel and exotic ships can never be seen as purple

there was a bug that made black sentinel ships appear purple, but this was fixed

[modern token]

awh what i wanted a purple sentinel interceptor

0/10 game /j

[modern token]

aw man

thanks for lmk

[stuck berry]

maybe the fact that the purple ones are now black is a bug in itself, but it's been that way for quite a long time now

[modern token]

hey wait you said most right?

what ships do exist in purple

[near scarab]

hey this might sound weird, but i swear i just noticed this but planets are not always having the same name as in space as in discovery menu, is that a glitch ?

[stuck berry]

Pirate Dreadnoughts at the very least. There's also this reflective color that looks purple that fighters/haulers can get, it's weird

[stuck berry]

They are supposed to have the same name in both, I haven't observed this not being the case so far

[wheat cove]

Living ships can be purple too, I think

[modern token]

woah that ship is exactly what colors i wanted, thanks

[stuck berry]

O ye I was gonna say that

[near scarab]

Yes exactly! i will travel to another system and check it again

[stuck berry]

Oh, this may be that bug where the system discoveries screen opens the wrong one, and only opens the right one when you're on one of the planets

it's a weird bug

[near scarab]

can i post pics here ?

i took two screen shots i would like to share it

perhaps its a bug

[stuck berry]

You may

[near scarab]

ok the issue, both have same name but not same ressources

[stuck berry]

That shouldn't ever be the case, besides if mods are involved

[near scarab]

nope i dont have mods

[stuck berry]

or maybe the original discoverer used mods? idk. I've only seen this when being in a pre-discovered system with mods that change biome probabilities

it operates identically to this

the ship scan details should be correct

when you land on that planet, it should update

[lost jay]

Is platinum too hard to find? I need to fix my S tier ship lol

[lucid gate]

discovered planets or systems by player can have same name, these photos are from same planet in same system ?

[near scarab]

i will land and update u

[near scarab]

yes same system

[wheat cove]

Shoot up an asteroid field and you should find some

[near scarab]

I bring news! it did indeed change, after i landed on the planet the discovery menu got "updated"

and it got discovered by me ?

that's so weird lol

at first it was discovered by other dude

[stuck berry]

that makes sense, as they technically discovered a different planet, it's weird

[near scarab]

now it got updated and iam the dicoverer

[stuck berry]

discovery services with biome-changing mods is wierd

[frozen plinth]

is waterworlds and gas giants more common in purple star systems?

[stuck berry]

They cannot be found elsewhere at all.

Gas Giants and Waterworlds are fully exclusive to purple star systems

as well as many other unique things in them https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems#Unique_Attributes

[frozen plinth]

because i need lithium. and its quite hard to see which ones are purple stars

[stuck berry]

Look at the stellar class beginning letter

[frozen plinth]

what does its say when theres a water world in the system? when theres a gas giant it litteraly just says it

[stuck berry]

Water means that at least one world in that system has oceans/water

"Dissonant" takes display priority over that, but it does not mean that there aren't worlds with oceans/water in that system

All purple systems have at least one dissonant world, so they all have the Dissonant tag (besides Gas Giant systems, which their tag has priority over that)

[frozen plinth]

so any planet that has water can have lithium?

[stuck berry]

No. Only waterworld biome planets have Lithium

[frozen plinth]

because thats what i need

[stuck berry]

Then look in purple systems that don't have a giant. Alternatively you could refine Crystallised Helium + Quartzite/ActQuartzite

You could do this to get 1 Lithium, then pin it in your catalogue to have it lead you to a waterworld

[frozen plinth]

im about to do that as i found a gas giant

[frozen plinth]

its bugged. it says that its found a planet with lithium in every system

[swift sand]

maybe try to save+reload, or save+restart

sometimes it bugs. maybe even just try warping away really far

[proper parcel]

have a drop pod here that isnt interactable. do i just have to move to different system to use my charts?

did restart

[swift sand]

hmm, could it be possible that you already repaired that one before? is red or green? did you try to save+reload?

[near scarab]

hi is there a command here to teach about trading and wealth ?

[stuck berry]

!faq-units has a trade route guide with an image that explains that

[near scarab]

ty ❤️

[proper parcel]

nope. it still green . saved and restarted and it let me fix it but not take the upgrade. moneying with it still. deffa bug

[wheat cove]

I don't know if this is the case for you, but sometimes the interaction on crates etc is wonky on the height. Sometimes it's a few meters up in the air or below the ground.

[swift sand]

yeah, sounds like a bug that happens sometimes. ofc, you're not maxed out yet (60+120), right?

[proper parcel]

nope far from it. restarting my computer

[proper parcel]

daamnit

not fixed. gues cant hunt them here anymore

[swift sand]

yeah, just try a diff planet perhaps, to save time

[near scarab]

can someone explain what those symbols and number means ?

[stuck berry]

The amount of cargo and technology slots on the ship

More can be added later at a Starship Outfitting Terminal using either units or Storage Augmentations, up to these limits

[livid kayak]

So, the base walls and stuff has changed their colors in one of the last, few updates, right?
Just noticed it and i'm a bit disappointed...

[stuck berry]

A bug in 5.70 recolored existing bases to random pallets

[livid kayak]

yeah

[stuck berry]

other than that, colors haven't been changed

you can recolor them back to their intended colors manually

it's unfortunately the only solution (without save editing/base building app/blender plugin)

[livid kayak]

Yeah, given how buggy the game already is, i don't like to mod it much, but i'll consider it

[stuck berry]

I wouldn't be recommending it if it's consistency were in question

[livid kayak]

sure thing, thanks

[severe crown]

The situation:
I completed a Nexus mission and wanted to stay in the system. One click too late I realized not only had I left it at "home system", I forgot to look for/visit the station in the system.
The question:
After I've already turned in the mission, ifs there still a way to set it so I depart into the current system?

[stuck berry]

Add one of it's planets to your personal records and use a portal to return there possibly

[dull furnace]

I’m trying to help my friend get a specific living ship.
He is following a tutorial exactly but the ship spawns 10 hours away from the one he wants.

Is it possible for me to get the ship and give it to him?

[stuck berry]

This guide should be fully consistent #nms-questions message

[severe crown]

Ok, adding it to personal records will provide the address?

[dull furnace]

Hmmm ok. But what about giving it to him?

[stuck berry]

#nms-legacy-ships message

Just exchange it to another lifeform aboard a space station, then have him claim it from that lifeform

[dull furnace]

Ah cool. All I needed to know. Ty

[south tartan]

While building a building (such as the starship docking thing) for a settlement, does the time for it to complete its building stage persist while you are offline, or does it have to be while you are in-game?

[stuck berry]

Time passes while offline

[south tartan]

huuuuuuuuge

[crude dune]

You can’t put industrial waste in a corvette, because it drops out, but can another player holding industrial waste board and bring it with?

[analog scroll]

Doubt it

[real turret]

on my atlas sceptre, it used to use the runic lens, but now it uses the mining beam and i can't change it. Anyways, what i want to know is should I supercharge the runic lens or the mining beam module? I've heard that supercharging the base one is the best,but which one?

[wise reef]

How do you destroy a corvette and recover the parts?

If I delete all the parts, and leave, it just goes back to how it was

[analog scroll]

Delete/remove any non-essential parts, exchange ones that are essential with ones you don't care about, finalize ship, trade it to an NPC

[analog scroll]

The runic lens and mining beam are the same thing. Having both gives you a bonus to the mining beam

[wise reef]

OK, so I may as well just redesign this one

[real turret]

that's not my question, i understand that having both boosts your stats by a lot, but which should I supercharge, or does it not matter?

[stuck berry]

Doesn't matter

[analog scroll]

Doesn't matter

[real turret]

ok i see tysm

[analog scroll]

Just keep them both adjacent

[real turret]

ah i'll try that out i didn't have them adjacent before, they were seperated by other mining beam modules

[south tartan]

What is Aronium, and how does one acquire it?

[analog scroll]

That's ok, as long as they're all in the same group

[analog scroll]

Craft it. Recipe in the synthesis lab in the anomaly https://app.nmsassistant.com/catalogue-item/prod71

[south tartan]

How do you get paraffinium

[stuck berry]

All lush worlds have it, as well as some swamp/marsh worlds #nms-commands message

You could pin it in your log from the catalogue, or pin the thing you're trying to craft to be guided to a world with it

[exotic fiber]

yo can someone help me find a gas giant planet

yes i have purple systems but i cant find a gas giant

[south tartan]

Has anyone else been noticing some ships, that have moving parts, have parts of them phase in and out of the ship as you look around or turn

[swift sand]

in the galaxy map, look for the gas giant tag - locate crystalized helium via catalog

[swift sand]

you mean stuff like landing gears or wings on sentinels for example?

[cursive leaf]

Im at the waste heap but didnt get the milestone. I reloaded the game. Still didnt see anything

[swift sand]

right milestone selected? what does the milestone hint lower right of screen says you need to do, can you post a screenshot of the entire screen with it showing? do you have multiplayer disabled?

[south tartan]

I guess..? I haven't noticed that. Though my ship's landing gear is always out no matter what.

If I were able to send a photo, I could show you, but the best description I can provide is that the engines/engines within the nacelles of my ship move when my free cam moves or when I turn

[swift sand]

yeah that's weird. if you go on nmsce.com, not sure if you're familiar with it, can you use it to show us an example of a ship that looks like yours?

[distant torrent]

this has happened to me twice now. i grabbed a gravitino ball to start this encounter, last time it was on a planet manufacturing facility. there's... nothing. if i move my screen to the red dot it's a random spot on the ground

i assume there's supposed to be something to fight to finish the encounter

i killed a bunch of flying drones and two walkers but i don't see whatever is creating these health bars

lol the quest tracker says there are -1 active sentinels

[feral rover]

is it usually the case that sometimes the game just disconnects groups or are we maybe triggering it with some known bug? ._. it seems to be random

[vital estuary]

Bugged, happens way to often and is stuck under the terrain.
Run away and let the timer run down.

[cursive leaf]

i had multiplayer disabled and enabled to see if that was it. Im on the first heap pile arrival milestone. Im sitting at the heap pile but no reward. I have that milestone selected.

[livid kayak]

Sh*t. i've also noticed, that Remnant has massively downgraded interior shading :/ This is a huge let down for me... The game was looking absolutely stunning after the Worlds Pt. 2 update, and now it's flat again

Sean, you've made me super depressed. Remember this...

[stuck berry]

Oh, this was Voyagers I believe, not Remnant

I used this mod to fix it https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2440 though I observed it no longer working after Remnant, hopefully it just needs updating

actually idk it's just globals stuff, so maybe those properties were removed? idk I'll investigate

[livid kayak]

please, let me know if you find a solution

cheers

[south tartan]

I will once I am able

[south tartan]

Where is the synthesis lab lol

[stuck berry]

It seems like everything works fine, just that I don't observe the weird effects I used to on planets where the lighting shifted drastically, as well as those indoor spaces still kinda being affected by outside stuff/space lighting
Yeah, I think past me thinking it was broken at all was very wrong lol

[livid kayak]

Alright, i'll give it a shot then, thanks

[lost jay]

So i was told platinum is found in asteriods? So far I havent found any

[vital estuary]

More common in some systems than others, and often the smaller asteroids out by themselves have it.

Can also make it with a refiner (needs to be one with 2 slots) by putting gold and silver in one.

[river atlas]

How does this happen..

[nova zealot]

Oof...new updates sometimes seem to reroll locations of structures or the type of structures/plants on planets. One of the updates probably did that. I had a buncha ugly neon green flowers pop up on my otherwise beautiful stormless desert planet recently too

[stuck berry]

that shouldn't be the problem with that type of planet, maybe it was just unloaded/destroyed when you first built the base

[river atlas]

That was a while ago now lol

[south tartan]

Are things from the expedition like gravitino balls and other resources able to be brought over to your main save?

[stuck berry]

Yes, at the end at the expedition terminus

[river atlas]

There is a silver node there that i was mining..

And its still there according to my scan

[nova zealot]

Do those giant fake trees not reroll too? The flowers that popped up for me aren't the scannable flora kind either. They're natural scenery. Just totally changed in color and type

And this was just from the recent Remnant update after their third patch or so

[feral rover]

upon extracting a corvette part from a salvageable scrap it says that the game recorded a new item in the catalogue, but I can't find them under any category, so where can I see the parts I already looted once / how much I didn't find yet?

oh the corvette build menu has them.. never mind, weird how the game still says it's catalogued, I guess I'll have to screenshot if I wanna see my parts on the planet

[south tartan]

So I have to finish the expedition in order to claim my stuff, right?

[lean oriole]

found this "bounty failure", what does it do?

[pale kindle]

I keep getting random lag spikes for no reason. I have to restart the whole game in order to get rid of them. Any idea why?

[pale kindle]

The big wheel things? Lore

[lean oriole]

ahh ok

yeah had the urge to fly through it

[pale kindle]

I'm not sure if you can but give it a shot

[south tartan]

Do we get to keep the collossus we make during the expedition along with all of its upgrades?

[nocturne sphinx]

hey im confused i have cross save on all consoles linked i have the leviathan on ps5 but cannot get it on my pc... i need help

[shrewd jolt]

Have you tried claiming it on that save on your ps5?

[ancient bolt]

Has anyone had an issue where when you drive your Colossus, the game just sends you to the ends of the universe??

I'm in the expedition rn, and i teleported back to the refinery and my screen just went pale green, and I can't fix it

[nocturne sphinx]

i have not lemme try

i dont think its working no

it working on the ps5 tho but its not transfering over

i got it to work thank you

[half stone]

Hey y'all, so I wanna build an underwater base and I'm just wondering: what is available to build under water? Only the aquatic construction stuff or can I make a cuboid room as well?

[stuck berry]

All the Large Structure stuff works

multi-story cuboid room interiors are problematic underwater though

[half stone]

Heard! Thanks ✨

[raw zinc]

You can try digging down and freeing it. I've had luck with that but like someone else said running away works too

[lean oriole]

tips on finding solanium? located some before but cant find the planet I got it from.

wait i might have grown some from the farmers quest

[stuck berry]

You could pin it in your catalogue to be directed towards a planet with it

[lean oriole]

the "add to wonders" thing?

[stuck berry]

No, the catalogue where you can view resources you have encountered before

You can pin resources there to be given a guidance mission on how to get that item

[dire iris]

How works the cordinates AND how can i put in the portal?

[hallow fulcrum]

why did my frigate have a better class after an expedition?

[lean oriole]

where is the getting a sentinel ship guide? cant find it. forgot how to locate them already.

[stuck berry]

Because they leveled up

[hallow fulcrum]

didn’t know they could do that

[young mountain]

how do i start a new expedition after finishing one i just have the last expedition completion page cant select a new one?

[quiet gulch]

@lean oriole

[rustic zealot]

It's always just one.

At the end of the year they usually redo the ones that was released that year, but that's about it.

On pc you're supposedly able to do previous ones somehow (I'm on console so idk) ..

Console people are simply out of luck.

[quiet gulch]

Find an autophage outpost

There will be the option to locate a sentinek ship

Or else i got some coordinates for ya

What u choose?

[young mountain]

awww ayy? i just finished expedition 21 which was my first one ever so i cant do expedition 20 .....

[ruby atlas]

got a glyph address ?

[rustic zealot]

Yea. I'm sorry .. I really hate this FOMO bs too.

[young mountain]

dammnn if i knew that i would have chosen ex 20 for the ship parts thats a lil bs lol oh well ay

[steep plank]

anyone know how to free myself

[quiet gulch]

Respawn

[bitter salmon]

So I finished the purge mission how the Christ do I get back to the Euclid galaxy?

[steep plank]

how (i just got the game)

[quiet gulch]

Where are ya from

Wait lemme take my game

One min.

[lofty dirge]

I can give you the corvette parts, unless you don't want me to give it to you, since I did use save edit

[rustic zealot]

Somewhere in the settings (IIRC General tab) there's something like "reset freighter location" or something. That's basically the unstuck feature

[quiet gulch]

@steep plank go into the menu- settings- reload spawn point

[lofty dirge]

does that work for freighters you don't own?

[bitter salmon]

Can someone help me?

[lofty dirge]

this has happened multiple times when I go into freighters I don't own

[quiet gulch]

U can tp by portal into one of your bases in euclide galaxy or in one of the station in euclid

[bitter salmon]

Thanks

[quiet gulch]

Np

[lofty dirge]

use a space station to teleport to your base in euclid. you can't complete the main story without building a base computer so I assume you have one

[rustic zealot]

Honestly I never had to use it so far. I've fallen through freighter to my death before, but never got stuck.

Just saw here people like Tyrell recommending it before and so far whatever he and BK said was always correct so I do believe them

[lofty dirge]

the collision is non-existent on the stairs sometimes

I think it's non-existent on most freighters that you don't own, at least it was for me

when I got my own freighter, this hasn't happened to me on my own freighter

[quiet gulch]

Guys

When u look at the galaxy map, wvery system has smth written (ex giant gas/water etc...), but what does K9 mean

?

[lofty dirge]

what are systems with " - " on economy, conflict etc? are they abandoned?

like Economy: --

[bronze oxide]

I knew exactly what you were going to say

[storm otter]

Is it just me or did they remove the trade terminal from the base building menu? I can't find one anywhere all of a sudden.

[warm night]

Me and one of my friends found a bug where we were in completely different systems but we could still see each other’s ships and exocrafts along with shoot at eachother. Is this a known bug?

[lofty dirge]

uncharted as in no player has been there or no race has been there?

[pallid tiger]

no npc race been settled there

[lofty dirge]

you should write a bug report if you have time, get some screenshots and videos if you can as well.

could have been visited by player before

I’ve been using keyboard and mouse

trying to unlock purple systems and was following a guide and did the They Who Returned questline then went to make the Star Seed but didn't have the recipe am I screwed?

Hyperdrive you get to through the quick menu, which is down on the dpad. Pulse drive is RB + LB

[river canyon]

No

[swift sand]

type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands

ty I 100% think I messed up the first time I found the encounter because I didn't get the whole text line.

just got the stellar multitudes quest

[jovial ice]

gonna assume this is a bug, why is my camera mode always so dark around the area im taking the picture, regardless of where i put the sun?

[swift sand]

this should be because options/graphics/gtao is disabled

[jovial ice]

ohhhh i see

that is true yes i'll re-enable and see

works, thank you!

somehow that also improved performance, quite the oddity

[swift sand]

lol, interesting side effect

[hazy berry]

is there any optimization guide for nms here, i feel like during the years the game has become heavier, tho my pc is pretty old (rtx 2060 6bg, i7 7700k, 32gb ddr4)

[swift sand]

there's a pinned post in #1265787111429246997 for vr oriented tweaks, but nothing in general for graphics settings. in short, game graphics settings does do a decent job at explaining what each setting will be most heavy on

[round olive]

whats remnant expedition

[swift sand]

i assume that you dont know what expedition game mode is; type !faq-expedition in #nms-commands for more infos. "exp21: Remnant" is focused on showcasing the new colossus exocraft related content and more

[hollow copper]

Did anyone else try walking on your frigate/freighter and somehow clipping through its textures.. did I find a bug

[round olive]

alr ty

[swift sand]

so iow, you fell through, or could go through walls or something like that?

[storm otter]

Nah, it's just not in my menu anymore

[round olive]

this isnt specifically related to nms but i wanted to play it on vr using a link cable but every time i try and load it up it says its disconnected from the pc and im not sure how to fix it. idk if there's a specific setup ive got to do beforehand

[swift sand]

maybe try checking the #1265787111429246997 thread in this channel, there's some pinned posts there

[steady trench]

Hi how does multiplayer work? Im doing nexus mission and it warped me to some planet (Discovered Yesterday!) with like 50 bases now, but i didnt have seen any player, do i need ps+ or the same difficulty as them?

[swift sand]

you can see other player's uploaded bases and discoveries without ps+, but to actually see other players waltzing around there you'd need ps+

[steady trench]

oh

[hollow copper]

I didn't fall through but I kind of quite literally clipped through the hull of my frigate while trying to fix it for the first time, thankfully I got out of that thing by just flying upwards

+I clipped through the entrance where the ships go in to land on a freighter and got stuck for a little bit but got out aswell

[hazy berry]

i think that that is kinda old buf, im 90% sure i have experienced it sometimes

cant be 100% sure tho

[hollow copper]

Interesting

[vital estuary]

The freighters have had enough clipping issues there is an option to reset your position in the freighter in the options menu.

[swift sand]

it's there for me

[swift sand]

ah okay. hmm, well, falling through shouldnt be a thing ofc. what platform are you on? that said, definitely report these bugs, but like Thorbert mentioned, there's a way to reset your position when inside your freighter (not frigate though)

[hollow copper]

I was also doing the quest for the nautilon the other day and when I needed my materials I called my corvette on a small piece of land because I don't got aqua landing gear and it kind of landed half in water and half on land

When I walked inside I started swimming though there was not water there

forcing it to surrender and then destroying it wont drop the larger reward pool which can include the s-class freighter module; you have to destroy it but leave engines intact basically, cannot destroy them

so for example, do trench runs, take out all the fuel rods, then shoot it anywhere till it dies

[runic crown]

ohh alr

thanks

[severe crown]

This is another of the 50/50 conflicting advice questions, but I'll ask here to make sure I get the most current conflicting advice. 😁
Finding abandoned ships to salvage/trade, do you get enough out of fixing them up to justify the time and resources spent? Or do the minimum? Somewhere in between?

[swift sand]

honestly it's been a really long time since i've done that, but scrapping a ship isnt going to give you the full value of the ship regardless. personally, i mostly just scrap for storage augs, and unlike scrap unit value, those drops arent affected by how many usable cargo slots ship has. depends on what resources the damaged slots will require i guess, and whether or not you have them on you, and have plenty of or not

[wise reef]

I don't think it's worth fixing them, no. I also prefer to scrap sentinel ships, as they are worth so much more, and easily repeatable.

[swift sand]

and yeah, if you want to scrap ships for units, go harmonic camp+sentinel ship

[severe crown]

I haven't seen any sentinel ships to grab just yet, so I'm just looking at salvaging the few cheapo C-class I've found along the way.

[storm otter]

Omg... I'm a humongous noobulus

[wise reef]

find a camp, build a micro-base (base comp, teleporter, battery, solar panel) and go back whenever you need money or more harmonic scrap

[swift sand]

they have a specific way to get them - type !faq-interceptor in #nms-commands , recommend reading harmonic camp link

[swift sand]

(to elaborate and clarify, we dont need a teleporter at a base to teleport to it, only to teleport out)

[severe crown]

Thanks. I'll check it out. I did note the coordinates of 2 harmonic camps, but wasn't sure what to do with them yet.

[wise reef]

I teleport TO them so I can find the camp again whenever I want

[swift sand]

like ekaterin said, can basically reuse the same harmonic interface to find multiple ship sites

[swift sand]

yes, i know - what i was clarifying is that we dont need a teleporter built at any base to teleport to any claimed base computer

-- only to teleport out

[storm otter]

I use echo locators to find all my awsome sentinel ships. Best method out there for fast farming them. I use the same terminal at the same camp to find all my ships on that planet.

[wise reef]

oh right, freighter teleporter or any space station is fine

oh you don't need a teleporter to teleport to a base computer? I don't think I knew that

[swift sand]

correct

building a teleporter at a base allows us to teleport out straight from there, and sets teleport in spawn point

[wise reef]

Well, I prefer to be able to warp out anyway.

[swift sand]

sure, but if one just needs a quick bookmark for a location on a planet or a teleporter endpoint, no need to actually build stuff besides claiming a base comp

that's what i was trying to point out 🙂

[severe crown]

Does the harmonic camp need to be outside the radius of a base camp you claim?

[wise reef]

I really, REALLY wish the game had better location tracking / logging. Like, to be able to sort systems by last visited so you can find a certain planet again, or better filters for the systems list liek for certain planet types, infestations, materials, etc.

[wise reef]

no. I build my base right at the gap in the "U" shape of the harmonic camp

[storm otter]

You can do this kinda. There is a list in your discoveries and if you use rb or lb you can scroll last visited etc

[wise reef]

I don;t think it sorts by last visited, only by discovery. At least, it does not seem to be re-sorting them for me

[storm otter]

There's an all visited list too mate 🫡

The order should be correct

If its not, you'll still find your most recent visits somewhere near the top

[swift sand]

not always

[wise reef]

yeah, that's what I usually look at, but it's got hundreds of systems at this point. But it seems to sort by discovery, not last visit. I have some bases in certain systems, that I visit almost daily, but they are not sorted to the top of the list

[swift sand]

if the most recently visited system had been discovered years ago, it will not stay at the top of the list

[wise reef]

all these systems form my last offline expedition aree at the top of my list

[storm otter]

Aah I see

[swift sand]

also, remember that discoveries list has a limit to how many systems it will keep on the save file "cache"

[storm otter]

Its not perfect but my most visited systems are usually at the top

I don't play in people's systems though at all really. I only operate in my own systems

[swift sand]

what sometimes people will do is make use of the hidden systems filter - it's pretty much the only filter you can use to manually single out systems in your discoveries

[wise reef]

I also hate to "forget" systems. I wish it would truly forget them instead of hiding them. That way they would come back if you visit it again.

[swift sand]

well, it can actually "forget" them

also, remember that discoveries list has a limit to how many systems it will keep on the save file "cache"

[storm otter]

I have no idea what you mean here lol

[modern vigil]

lol

[swift sand]

once it gets to that limit, it will be forced to flush out older discoveries from the save file, to make room for new ones

[wise reef]

If you "forget" a system, it just hides it from your discoveries list and moves it to a "forgotten" systems list. If you go to the system again, it does not show up on your visited list, it stays hidden

[storm otter]

There's an option to forget a system? I've not seen this before

[wise reef]

I wish it would just treat it as if you never visited,

[swift sand]

there's an option to "hide" a system from the main discoveries list filters; it will just get placed in the "hidden systems" filter

what sometimes people will do is make use of the hidden systems filter - it's pretty much the only filter you can use to manually single out systems in your discoveries

[storm otter]

Where are these filters?

[swift sand]

instead of hiding them because they dont want to see them, they hide them to group them in a category with less systems

[swift sand]

in the main discoveries menu

above the systems list box

[wise reef]

The filters are at the top of the list, and you can click or use the A/D keys to go through them. stuff like filter by race, star color, etc.

[storm otter]

Mine doesn't contain a hidden systems list or any option to forget one

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place again lol

[wise reef]

it's only half-useful, filters you would actually use (exonomy type/level, planet types, etc.) are not there

[swift sand]

cursor over a system in discoveries - there should be an option to hide a system (iirc F)

[storm otter]

Aha! There it is, ty.

I don't want to forget any though tbh. Why would I? I want to keep all my discoveries

Not sure what the use of a forget button is actually

[swift sand]

i'll paste this again

what sometimes people will do is make use of the hidden systems filter - it's pretty much the only filter you can use to manually single out systems in your discoveries

instead of hiding them because they dont want to see them, they hide them to group them in a category with less systems

[storm otter]

So it's not used go forget systems lol its used to put visited systems together

Righto

Weird

[swift sand]

well, that's .. what people found a use for them

it's not its intended use

[storm otter]

Gotcha.

I still don't understand why anyone would actually want to forget a system though

Could be my autism but it doesn't make sense to me

[swift sand]

systems discovered by other players they dont want cluttering their lists

for example

[storm otter]

Doesn't bother me. I feel no list clutter as I honestly hardly ever look at my discoveries list anyway

[swift sand]

right, you dont have to use the functionality at all

[storm otter]

Aye. All I do in the game is hunt ships and multi tools, and take nice pictures of scenery etc lol

BTW, one thing to help people find their systems in the list easier, just name your system, find the name. Make it caps if you have to

I name most of mine, especially good ones

[pearl plinth]

I feel ya, I burnt out after my first playthrough a few years ago because I think I was trying to do too much all at once as game offers a lot to do; this time once through all story lines I've created a list that will randomly select an activity to stick to for a few days or weeks then select another.

[storm otter]

Not a bad idea. For me, I didn't get burnout. I came to this game with the full intention of ignoring all survival mode elements and just being a ship/multi-tool/earth-like planet finder.

I've removed all costs too, and I'm still not even close to getting bored.

[swift sand]

(let's please try and keep the channel topic in mind, questions&answers - general chat elsewhere)

[storm otter]

Ah yes, my bad

[swift sand]

thank you all for understanding

[storm otter]

I have a question, can someone please look in the lfg trade channel at my querie for the boundary Herald ship please? I fear it may go unnoticed

[swift sand]

try https://nomansapp.com ship delivery

any further questions about that site should go in its home discord server

[storm otter]

Ah OK, I'm good then ty

[wild crescent]

how do I configurate my corvette like the interior what key do I need to press

[pearl plinth]

I remember black holes being a way to get to the galaxy centre faster; is this still a thing?

[storm otter]

Best way now is to type all of the first glyhp in the portal

[severe crown]

If this doesn't already exist, I'll send it in as a suggestion, but...
Is there a way to compare your current starships to each other similar to how you compare when offering to buy one?

[storm otter]

Yes. Take a screenshot of your ships on the inventory screen and compare them like this

[winter wolf]

it is faster, yes. each black hole will bring you about 5-7k closer to the galactic core, though it may throw you to the other side of the galaxy so the distance travelled will appear far greater

[storm otter]

Tbh, I find it quicker teleporting to a portal and inputting Glyphs than travelling to a system that specifically has a black hole and then flying through it

[winter wolf]

they didnt ask the fastest way to get to the core, they asked if black holes are faster

[storm otter]

Yes, but I offered an even faster alternative

[winter wolf]

and didnt answer their question

[severe crown]

So...no. 😁 The suggested method is appreciated, though.

[wise reef]

You could also replay the expedition offline here https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[storm otter]

Does this work for xbox users?

[storm otter]

I did though, with a faster answer than yours lol but if you wanna be butthurt about it you go right ahead

[pearl plinth]

both are good methods thank you, I'd forgotten about the glyph method as I never got round to trying it; I'll stick with BH jumping until next galaxy for now.

[storm otter]

Galaxy hopping and black hole hopping is a lot more fun tbf

[wise reef]

Seems it's for Steam, Steam Deck, Switch, and X Games Pass / GOG / MS Store, so I gues snot

[proper lodge]

what child of helios do?

[storm otter]

The jellyfish you catch or the one in space?

[proper lodge]

space

[storm otter]

Absolutely nothing but look pretty

[proper lodge]

:(

[wise reef]

I never got the appeal of galaxy hopping. Every galaxy is gonna have basically every type of planet a thousand times over, just some have more common ones

But then, some people liek the loner empty feel I guess

[storm otter]

Lush galaxies are better for lush planets or earth like planets, and just nicer planets in general. It definitely helps to hop if you're finding too many rubbish planets

[tiny vortex]

fellow travellers......do companion pet grow? found this badass litte fella on a toxic planet, but he has fire/light on its back contrary to its peers

[wise reef]

personally, I would have preferred a smaller universe so there could be more player interaction

[storm otter]

If you get an egg from your pet, you can grow it in the egg machine thingy in the anomoly

[near scarab]

guys i have some trade goods (energy source) and teleport coordinators and star ship subcomponants, I assume the energy source should be sold at mining economy while the rest can be sold anywhere ? but should i searsh for 3 stars mining economy ?

[turbid glacier]

What type galaxy is odyalutai

[tiny vortex]

oh, i meant, if it becomes adult one day

[storm otter]

Oh, yeah I don't think they grow naturally I'm afraid

I believe the only way is to harvest an egg from your creature and take it to the anomoly

[proper lodge]

is it possible to find settlement without debt?

[hearty heron]

See info about it here: #nms-commands message

[turbid glacier]

How do I use commands

[proper lodge]

i found alien multi tool, is it worth buying it?

[hearty heron]

You can type !Faq in #nms-commands the way I did with that example there. It'll list our bot Gunter's FAQ commands. All require a ! prefix.

[hearty heron]

I'd say yes, if you like the way it looks. Since multi-tools can be upgraded with different tech, it could depend on personal taste and budget. We have a few pinned messages in #nms-multitools too, that may be of help (especially if no one here gets back with more insight). Example: #nms-multitools message

[proper lodge]

i don't really care about looks rn since what i need rn is efficiency

[hearty heron]

Got ya. Definitely check out this pin then #nms-multitools message

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[bright wagon]

Is it possible for an aquatic planet to have no land? Tried using scanner and outpost chart to find land but they either show nothing or underwater.

[hearty heron]

To follow up on this, you can definitely make companions bigger. If you were to tame this one as an example. We have some pinned messages in #nms-fauna showing what to use to make companions bigger in size

[proper lodge]

as i know yes, i've seen one and it looked like it had no land at ALL

[bright wagon]

just went down the 1.4ku to the "outpost" it found which was just one of the 2 buildings with nanites structures

[tiny vortex]

oh i dont want to make a bigger version , just know if he will reach adulthood now that i have it with me. Their adult versions are definetly rideable

[hearty heron]

Ooh got ya. If you found it a certain size in the wild, and this one doesn't show as an adult, I guess it could be possible for it to grow? Not 100% sure. @swift sand do you know if that'd be a thing, when you tame a pet?

You can at least try to get an egg from the companion you got, and use the egg to make it bigger too, as an alternative.

[thick gull]

I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I was doing the secondary Mission called Salvage Site: Planet Atonhame. It guided me to kill one of those towering mechanized things, which I did and got the Hyaline Brain I needed. The Mission told me to probe its subconscious, which and I, and which led me to another crashed Interceptor, giving me another separate "Salvage Site: Planet Atonhame" Mission. I still need a Harmonic Brain, which I'm not getting from what the Hyaline Brain led me to. Reading the Fandom wiki, it says a Harmonic Brain is gotten by presenting a Hyaline Brain to a Monolith. The mission doesn't say anything about doing anything with a Monolith.

The first 2 images are from the first mission, and the second 2 i mages are from the new mission that was created when the first Hyaline Brain led me to this second crashed site.

[feral rover]

how do I interpret the "Current location" in the analysis visor? what does it mean if I'm at "+6.18, -129.23" in terms of what side of the planet I'm on and things like that?

[swift sand]

first number, latitude: 0 to 90, north; 0 to -90, south; 2nd number, longitude, E or W

[swift sand]

it's telling you to go to the ship to clear the rest of the items there - you need to clear all items from the slots there, not just the hya brain

[thick gull]

I meant to say that I've done that aready, purged all 3 items from it except for the Pilot Interface, and it still says to purge.

[feral rover]

aaaaaaaaaaaah, so 6.18 is somewhere slightly above the equator

[swift sand]

yes, after a few days it will become an adult cc @hearty heron

[swift sand]

show me a screenshot

@thick gull you need to be looking at an icon like this, you'll have two at that point, one pointing to the monolith you need to go to

[thick gull]

So the first Hyaline Brain subconscious shouldn't have led me to another crashed Interceptor ?

[swift sand]

first hya brain from the first crashed sentinel ship should have led to a monolith

recommend not having multiple sentinel salvage site helper missions in the log

[thick gull]

That's what I'm saying though, I followed the icon, but perhaps I had another one from a previous Hyaline Brain from a long time ago on this planet.

I'll check for other icons..

[swift sand]

you'll want to double check your Log: if you got multiple sentinel salvage site missions in there, you could be having the wrong one selected

if indeed you got multiples, i personally recommend abandoning ones you're not working with anymore

[thick gull]

I didn't have multiple until I probed the Hyaline Brain and was led to the second site, although it might've been a different icon I followed.

[swift sand]

alright so just double check what each wants

look at the tooltip

if you got multiple hya brains on you at this point, i'd suggest moving all but one temporarily to an inventory you cant i.e. wont be able to always access it e.g. storage room, dismiss freighter

[tiny vortex]

yeah i added it to my wonder list, looks like a Kirin. If this doesnt grow up ill be searching for another one

[tiny vortex]

thanks man!

[thick gull]

So when I originally used the Hyaline Brain, the mission didn't advance, still kept saying about probing the Brain.

[swift sand]

1. look at your mission log, secondary missions: exactly how many salvage site missions do you have
2. look at your inventories: exactly how many hya brains do you have on you

[bold summit]

I just got the title for releasing 60 fish, but the helmet isn't available in the Appearance Modifier. Is it only available for specific races?

[analog scroll]

Anomaly only, typically

That goes for all of the reward helmets

[bold summit]

Man, that is really a bummer.

But thank you for the information.

[thick gull]

So I had originally went back to my base to get the 1 Hyaline Brain that I got from somewhere a long time ago, used that once I got back to the crash site. I got another Hyaline Brain from the second crash site that the missions seemingly led me to. Currently I have 2 Hyaline Brains on me.

[swift sand]

but only 1 salvage site mission in your Log, and it is selected?

[analog scroll]

That didn't answer the question about the number of salvage site missions

[thick gull]

Remember I have 2 missions now, preferrably I don't like abandoning missions, so I'll try.

[analog scroll]

It's likely you have the wrong one selected, and unless you know the exact planet the first one came from it's not going to do you any good at all anyway

[thick gull]

They're both from the same planet, as per the Mission Log says the same planet.

[swift sand]

as mentioned, move 1 hya brain to an inventory you can cut off access to, then save+reload, select a mission, and post a screenshot of the mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing

[round olive]

whats the next nms update?

[analog scroll]

We won't know until it's released

[round olive]

ah

[analog scroll]

Which will be after this expedition, at minimum

[thick gull]

I did. But before continuing, here's a screenshot from earlier. Would this be referencing the Monolith ?

[swift sand]

yep

straight ahead

[thick gull]

I just have to find exactly where I was standing at the crash site.

[swift sand]

wdym?

[thick gull]

But even if I make it there, it might not be tied to the mission anymore.

To try getting there cuz I don't think I have that icon anymore.

[analog scroll]

What does the tooltip say now?

[thick gull]

When I went to what I thought was the icon, it was the second crash site.

[swift sand]

they use the same icon

but the mission icons you see at any given time on the hud are tied to whatever mission is selected in the Log

each mission has its own progrss through the mission script

[supple mortar]

where do i get a flamethrower

[analog scroll]

The flamethrower arm for the minotaur can be purchased for quicksilver on the anomaly

[supple mortar]

thx

[swift sand]

liquidator right arm tech

[rough ridge]

How rare are paradise planets in the euclid galaxy?

[safe glade]

hi everyone! is there a simpler way to mark a spot somewhere? the message box doesn't seem to appear on the scanner or when I leave the area, although I can see other people's message boxes when I do missions or whatever, the save point doesn't appear as well, and I can't name the save beacons themselves so is the save beacon/message box combo the only option? sometimes I forget where the camp was and I want to do the missions but I can't find it again

[rough ridge]

Just put down a base computer and a teleporter with some solar panels

[swift sand]

certainly rarer than in a lush type galaxy, but you can find plenty in euclid

[hearty heron]

Another way would be to put down a base computer so you can even teleport to it

[rough ridge]

Yellow stars have the most chance to generate a paradise planet right?

[lean oriole]

how do I change my base colors?

[swift sand]

yep, since they have a higher probability to have lush biome bodies altogehter

[safe glade]

yeah I try to avoid base computers for this as camps are disposable and not really a place to return to, I do a dissonant planet for a while as much as I can depending how many echo locators I get and then I'm out, so putting base camps is way too much as I don't really need to come back to the planet after I leave

[rough ridge]

Change the color of the base computer

If you mean the icon

[swift sand]

open build menu, press edit placed parts, then aim at part and press colors

[safe glade]

I just want a bookmark that doesn't dissapear while I'm on the planet not after I leave there, I don't need this in my base list

[rough ridge]

Delete the bases then before you leave

[swift sand]

the save point doesn't appear as well
it should - current bug that seems to be affecting some

sometimes I forget where the camp was and I want to do the missions but I can't find it again
like others suggested, a simple base comp is really convenient as we can teleport to it from any teleporter, even if there's no teleporter built at the base, and when you're done just delete base comp

[lean oriole]

wasnt aware of that last part, thank you for the tip

[safe glade]

yeah that's way too time consuming, usually I do 10 spots that are way too spread across the planet so going again deleting them all is a chore I don't really need. I guess save beacon and message box is the way to go...

[hollow jackal]

hi i have a quik question why cant i build my colosos in the expedition ? i have all the materialls needed

[lean oriole]

theres gotta be a better way to save planets to come back to though ngl

[safe glade]

man, I feel like all the bugs affecting me haha

[lean oriole]

using the catalogue kind of sucks to remember locations

[swift sand]

unfortunately not, since we cant store infinite personal records

[lean oriole]

custom markers that shows up in the galaxy map would be sick

[thick gull]

And being able to place more than 1 waypoint marker in the entire universe, lol.

I use the personal wonders with a custom name for planets I really want to come back to, it's good enough you just need to remember to do that

[rough ridge]

Why not use base computers then tho?

[safe glade]

I do use base computers for planets I place miners on, I should start putting them everywhere nice tbh

oh btw, is there really no way to connect supply depot directly to storage? I really need to go back and collect everything manually?

[rough ridge]

If you cant connect them with pipes then no

[analog scroll]

You have to collect from the depot itself

[scarlet oasis]

game crashes when i try to go to an abandoned sector. (i already went there some time ago, it's a red system, warping to other places works fine) what do i do?

[safe glade]

damn, well, it's better than mining everywhere...

[thick gull]

@swift sand Okay, so I went ahead and used ayaline Brain at the second crash site, and it led me to a Monolith this time, so we'll see.

[mint glen]

With corvette parts, how do you see what tier they'll be, only install in a ship and then remove? Or is there something else?

[analog scroll]

You don't pay attention to tier, like anomaly blueprints

Finished corvettes will be C class

[mint glen]

Ah, yes, I was unclear, sorry

I mean, is the Thunderbird Cockpit always C-tier?

[analog scroll]

Probably

[mint glen]

And then reactors always have the same bonuses?

Or are those randomized?

[analog scroll]

Likely within the same ranges, if nothing else

[swift sand]

yeah, they have ranges

[thick gull]

Does it matter what I choose when I break into a non-Mission facility ?

[analog scroll]

Yes. Only 1 answer will get you the reward

[swift sand]

save before chosing

[thick gull]

And if I get it wrong, do I get to choose again ?

Then apparently not, lol.

I don't like doing hacking like that, lol. I like to be honest about what I do in a game. If I miss something that I can't do again, unless it's a game-breaking thing where I can't advance a mission especially mainline mission, I don't like reloading a save to choose the right thing. It's semi-cheating IMHO.

[swift sand]

yep, can definitely feel that way

just trying to help/put options on the table 😄

[thick gull]

Welp, feels like a success.

Wait, are these rewards always these choices ?

Wow, so I can just break into many facilities and get many Multi-Tool Expansions. I never knew this, lol.

[swift sand]

yep, one of the sources for mt expansion slot

[thick gull]

MT ?

Oh, duh, Multi-Tool.

For a split second I was thinking Minotaur.

[quiet gulch]

Heh... never.

[thick gull]

Oh and just a funny lil' story I never told, but I guess I had strayed from the main story for so long, that I only just recently got the main mission for discovering a Space Station for the first time, lol.

After I've already visited like 97,000 of them.

[trim bridge]

Just hop systems, dock at every space station and get upgrades for free

Once you get all three major guild to exalt

[thick gull]

I just got Gek to max a few minutes ago (not called Exalted for Gek though), now just need Korvax.

Might also be an outdated mod interfering

[thick gull]

@swift sand So getting the Harmonic Brain from the Monolith made both Salvaged Site Missions show that I could use the Brain on them. So I unlocked the first one, now that's complete. The second mission went back to harvesting Radiant Shard.

[analog scroll]

Definitely an issue with having 2 salvage site missions. Recommended to only ever have the one for the ship you're going after in your mission log

[lean oriole]

where is the guide for getting sentinel ships?

forgot how lol

[analog scroll]

!faq-interceptor in #nms-commands

[lean oriole]

and when do I unlock the minotaur? been doing base quests forever.

[analog scroll]

You can unlock it at any time in the Anomaly, or get a settlement and do the mission Trace of Metal, where it is also unlocked for free

[lean oriole]

i thought you get minotaur upgrade there, how do you unlobkc the minotaur itself at the anomly?

[analog scroll]

In the base construction research terminal, where you can unlock all of the other geobays as well

[lean oriole]

ohhh okay thank you!

[thick gull]

Does anybody know if there's a long-standing bug whereby the Derelict Freighters Guide in-game always comes up as a new Guide whenever I visit a Space Station ?

[analog scroll]

If you have enough money for an emergency signal scanner, you'll get that popup. Similar to if you have any salvaged data in your inventory you'll get a notification about spending it in the Anomaly (even if you already have everything unlocked)

[thick gull]

@analog scroll Is that a bug or intended behavior ?

Cuz obviously that's quite annoying, lol.

[analog scroll]

Been that way for a very long time, so 🤷‍♂️

[mystic lake]

does having wires over a long length reduce power transfered

[analog scroll]

No

But, they can't cross a base boundary

[paper fox]

Playing vanilla

[analog scroll]

Just giving an alternative explanation. I've seen it happen (and we have no way of knowing you don't have any mods installed unless you tell us 😉 )

[hazy berry]

is it possible to get multiple exotics in one system? like i have found one in this system (landed to my settlement) can an another one of the same model spawn?'

i bouygh the one i found

if that matters

[delicate abyss]

im prefacing that i already know this is a bug, i just haven't found a fix for it anywhere and was hoping you gamers could help!! on ps5, the textures in research menus, as well as the button on screen in dialogue boxes always have other random textures overlayed on them LOL

[paper fox]

Follow up question. If I hypothetically install a mod that fixes the animation bug, will i still be able to access online services?

[delicate abyss]

its a little funny the first time but the 50th time it becomes something id like to fix if possible 😇

[gleaming dagger]

in the Difficulty Settings does the Natural Resources setting effect how fast/quantity of resources are produced by a hotspot too?

[thick gull]

@analog scroll Do you know if you have an Emergency Signal Scanner in your inventory if the Guide alert will not show up then ?

[stuck berry]

Yes, that won't change in any way #nms-questions message

[hazy berry]

@stuck berry is this the mission to the tittle i have been asking for

[thick gull]

What triggers this Secondary Mission to start ?

The wiki only mentions the item itself, not the Mission.

[swift sand]

getting dream aerial blueprint itself triggers it

[thick gull]

Ahh okay, gotcha.

[hazy berry]

anyone know which one im missing

[thick gull]

Is there a correct choice ?

[winter wolf]

the choices you make will influence what stats it has at the end, but i don't believe you can predict it all. i'm pretty sure the specific combination of choices is unique to each ship

[woeful kettle]

I CANNOT START they who returned please help i did the artemis questline i did trace of metal and i literally live in a dissonant system

[swift sand]

type !faq-echoes in #nms-commands

most likely missing lift harmonic camp seal step

@woeful kettle after that, if you have new beginnings mission in your mission Log, just warp out and wait in space in your ship for quest transmission

[woeful kettle]

alr thanks

what can i do with helium, lithium and quarzite ?

[winter phoenix]

Probably many things, but I bet the first thing everyone who finds it makes is probably a https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Exocraft_Summoning_Unit

[swift sand]

crafting, refining, some settlement building upgrades will need cryst helium/lithium

[empty prairie]

ah nice, thank you both!

[thick gull]

How did the devs release the main storyline missions? Did hey have, like say, Artemis first, and then they added Atlas and The First Traveller? Or did they always run together like they do now ?

[swift sand]

first atlas, then artemis

[thick gull]

Really? So the game used to start with Atlas and not Artemis at all ?

[winter phoenix]

Yeah, people weren't super happy with the game right from day 1 either.

[swift sand]

right, and it was diff too, atlas path progression i mean

makes sense to me that it would "start" with atlas

[thick gull]

I'm wanting to do it in published order, or in at least a more sensible order than it feels like I've been doin it thus far. Like should I fully complete the Artermis path before doing the Atlas path? It feels like if I do them both together, it's hard to keep the stories straight.

[swift sand]

atlas path doesn't really tie into artemis path and to artemis directly - artemis path has atlas interactions. i'd say that artemis path is first now

[thick gull]

But fully completing Artemis first won't inadvertently do things that would be done for the first time in Atlas? I'm trying to avoid doing things on my own that would end up happening in one of the storyline missions.

[swift sand]

But fully completing Artemis first won't inadvertently do things that would be done for the first time in Atlas?
nah

[fierce sleet]

returning after not playing for a long time and my 5 year old save seems to be missing ships now, wondering if there's a way to figure out what happened. they're not in the call-down list, not on my freighter, not on any base. i wouldn't have sold them since they were exotic and took a long time to find, and i had more room for ships even with those. is there a record i can look into? like owned vehicles or something?

[swift sand]

no record. if they're not in your quick menu/summon/other ships list, they're not in your save file anymore

i assume you never archived a ship so

[thick gull]

Could it have to do with the fact that the newer updates added more ships and the ability to be archived? A 5-year-old save could be difficult to update to current.

[swift sand]

i dont really know what happened - what we do know is that if they're not there, they're most likely gone. unlikely that game would have archived ships on its own, and exotics havent really changed since their intro

[winter phoenix]

The good news is that you can just look up the kind of exotic you want on the NMS coordinate exchange and collect them again with minimal effort. Every kind imaginable have been found and reported by now.

[swift sand]

game wouldnt have straight up deleted ships - it would have "migrated them"
