What I mean is that it could also be bugged going from a 5-year-old save and having 5 years of updates resolving into a save file.

[winter phoenix]

I didn't have any issues when I rejoined the game after having ignored it for years. I only had a single exotic but I can at least confirm that early exotics have not been deleted in general when updating ancient saves

[half stone]

So I'm building an underwater base. I know not to stack more than two rooms because the ladder acts weird but here's the thing: I can't build a damn ladder. In either of the buildings. I've never had this happen before (on land anyway), is it a bug? Do the rooms have to be powered first? I tried looking online and saw nothing similar to my situation

[swift sand]

which ladder are you trying to use, on which rooms

[unkempt socket]

how can i upgrade or remove my complexity limit pls ?

[half stone]

I'm using the infrastructure ladder and the deep water chamber rooms

[winter phoenix]

#nms-modding

[unkempt socket]

i cant use mods im on nintendo

[winter wolf]

infrastructure ladder only attaches outside of modules

[analog scroll]

Then you cannot

[swift sand]

prefab interiors would use

[half stone]

OH. So how do I connect the rooms from the inside? Do I have to use stairs? I swear I've used a ladder before on land

[winter phoenix]

I can't fix your self-inflicted debuffs, sorry.

[half stone]

Ohhhh I gotcha

Thank you so much

Been so frustrated thinking I was crazy 💀💀

[lofty hinge]

Please help. I haven't been able to load my save. It keeps crashing

We're talking 400 hours of progress here

[swift sand]

what platform are you on?

[lofty hinge]

Pc

[unkempt socket]

what mod can remove that limit ??

[swift sand]

1. make a new save on the side, creative mode, does it load and not crash?

[swift sand]

i have a question about grabbing resources from freighters on land, my buddy has access to all his storage containers on land through the freighter tab interface, i have a matter beam on my freighter, star ship, and one storage container on the planet. how is he about to pull resources through his inventory and i cant?

<:info:850810445577453658> Freighter tech: Matter Beam

• Can be unlocked from Upgrade Terminal on freighter bridge;
• Installing it allows remote access to freighter Core Tech and Cargo inventories from anywhere in the universe;
• Additionally, when player and freighter are in the same system, remote access to freighter Storage Rooms, if any are built;
• Inventory, Build, Craft and Recharge menus can use the above mechanics;

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

he also has freighter in current system and storage rooms built on it, in addition to matter beam

[rigid moth]

freighter is in the same system, i have storage container 0 in my base, i can pull resources through my refiner but not my inventory

[winter phoenix]

Whether you have a storage container on the planet has no impact on whether you can access them through the interface with a matter beam upgrade. Only whether you have storage containers on your freighter matters.

[rigid moth]

yea thats weird i wasnt able to access them until i put a storage container down

[swift sand]

but not my inventory
open quick transfer menu on a free cargo slot

[winter phoenix]

To be clear, the storage containers are not inventories. They're just access points for an inventory. Nothing you build on the planet should have any impact at all on what you have on your freighter.

[lofty hinge]

@swift sand

Its loading

[rigid moth]

This is what he has access to on planet

This is what I have access to

[thick gull]

Nice TVs, lol.

[lofty hinge]

@rigid moth you need to teleport your freighter closer to you

[swift sand]

as mentioned, because he's got the storage rooms, stoarge container equivalents, built on his freighter's base, and through matter beam, is able to see them as tabs in the freighter inventory menu, because freighter is in the current system

[lofty hinge]

Oh yeah that too

[rigid moth]

I have 0-5 storage containers built on my freighter

Might be a distant issue

[swift sand]

summon freighter to current system

[lofty hinge]

It has to be in the system and maybe close to you. I'm unsure on that one

[swift sand]

as mentioned, matter beam only allows remote access to built storage rooms if freighter is in the current system

[rigid moth]

It's on the same system but I couldn't place it so I warped drive away a bit to place it, that could be the issue

[swift sand]

couldnt place what, sorry

[winter phoenix]

I already said it, but it sure doesn't look like you have any storage containers built on your freighter. Are you absolutely sure you do?

[swift sand]

now try loading main save again

[lofty hinge]

Ok

[rigid moth]

couldnt place the freighter because; too close to planet, npc freighters loaded in

[swift sand]

that's easily dealt with, yes

[rigid moth]

so i l1 + r1 away a couple of seconds, just summoned the freighter, problem fixed

thank you for the assistance

didnt know you could summon from the planet

[lofty hinge]

@swift sand thank god

Thank you

[rigid moth]

yall the goats frfr

[swift sand]

yep, when on foot

What's the best use for pirate transponders? I've been hoarding them for unknown future use

Ooops, lol.

[rigid moth]

my buddy wants to give me an S class starship, but from what i read he has to trade it to an npc and i have to buy it off the npc, but it also lowers the class of the ship? is that true or is there a work around?

[rare heath]

On PS5, is there a trick to reset motion controls in menus back to off? It doesn't matter what I do in the settings now, as soon as I get to the "pick savegame" menu, they're back on.

[hexed kindle]

it doesn't lower the ship class but any tech on it is removed

[thick gull]

Yeah, my base is 9x9x5.

[winter phoenix]

Even if it does you can just toggle on free mode and upgrade it to S-class again. It doesn't take long

[swift sand]

see this post <#nms-legacy-ships message> (also @hexed kindle ), note that we cant gift iron vulture or corvettes

[rigid moth]

he traded it to a npc and it downgraded to a c class

rip

[winter phoenix]

Just toggle on free build and upgrade it on the nearest station, it just takes a few clicks

[mystic lake]

will I get any random multitool

or should I enter the cockpit

or can i do both

[thick gull]

That kind of thing probably should be in spoiler tags.

[sage nebula]

Damn my bad

I’m just kinda stuck now

[thick gull]

You could leave it up, just edit to put spoiler tags. 🙂

[mystic lake]

you can just equip a differnet ship and multitool

[swift sand]

yeah, just some random tool, which, you know, sometimes might be something nice

[mystic lake]

what would enter cockpit do?

[swift sand]

so all your gear is damaged, dont have another ship and multitool?

[mystic lake]

ended up taking the multitool

[swift sand]

probably just some random upgrade module or perhaps tech unlock, nothing you cant get elswhere

[mystic lake]

oh

[thick gull]

Can you still really only collect 6 Multi-Tools ?

[odd saddle]

does anyone have any good trash collecting planets? ie. relatively flat, not mountainous, no aggressive sentinels

[swift sand]

up to 6 active tools, but can have up to 18 archived through weapons rack base part

[rigid moth]

thank you, got it now

appreciate the help yall

[sage nebula]

U just saved me holy shit

[swift sand]

remember that we can always get to damaged ships if we goto a base, save+reload, then try to summon damaged ship

[thick gull]

Cheater, lol.

[mystic lake]

will this damage my equipment after

[swift sand]

no, that can only happen in the artemis path, not the atlas path

[mystic lake]

ah ok

[eager storm]

It does switch you to one about showing atlas wonders that never ends tho so don’t think you have to finish it

[swift sand]

atlas eternal though is endless, yes

this isn't atlas eternal yet

[thick gull]

Speaking of which, piggybacking off of what I was talking about earlier with the different paths to take and when, should I switch to Atlas when it starts being offered as a path, would that be the more intended way than to switch back and forth ?

[eager storm]

I went to ten or so trying to get it done lol

[swift sand]

no, not really. usually, you kinda just get on and do it - we often recommend leaving the atlas path for later, for when player has reached mission the purge of the main story, since warps to go to atlas stations will also count for the purge mission, even though it's not selected

[thick gull]

I just want it to feel like it has the best flow story and narrative wise,.

[swift sand]

then you'd complete artemis path in one go, and atlas path after that

or the other way around, if you wanted to go by chrono order of release/getting added to the game

[thick gull]

You can't really start with Atlas though, right ?

[swift sand]

nope, you get started with artemis path right off the bat

[thick gull]

I messed up the guidance somewhere along the way, cuz it wasn't too long ago where I got the storyline mission that had me discover a Space Station for the very first time.

[swift sand]

artemis path does that, yeah

gets you to your first station

till then stations arent even marked

[thick gull]

It's really easy to veer off and do your own thing with an entire galaxy of distractions.

[thick gull]

Well then that's weird, cuz they've always been marked since the very beginning, with the orangey icon.

[mystic lake]

can pirates attack my freighter

[swift sand]

these days, not quite since the beginning no

[swift sand]

no

[scenic socket]

I cant select/move/delete my unfinished fossil display...already closed the game 3 times.

Is it a known bug?

[swift sand]

i've seen a player or two with similar issues, on freighter base, but not affecting all displays. i also tried to reproduce, but couldn't. might be a bug

[scenic socket]

I cant take this anymore

[empty prairie]

everything will be alright

[near scarab]

Guys the stuff i get in my exosuit during the salvage expedition, do i get to keep it if i go back to main save?

[empty prairie]

depends on how you started the expedition ?

[near scarab]

Through the anomaly

I talked to the guy

[empty prairie]

ah yes then you got to choose on what you want to keep

[near scarab]

Not really, iam still playing the expedition, i didn't go back to my save yet

[empty prairie]

you will also keep your money and nanits and the stuff that you wont keep will get you also more units

[empty prairie]

ah i mean after you finished it and are about to end it. than you will be able to select stuff that you will be keeping

[near scarab]

Ohh nice nice,i got two powerful scanner moduls that i would like to keep for my save lol

[near scarab]

That makes sense nice

Thanks you

[empty prairie]

yes you can save up to 8 (i think) uprade modules

[empty prairie]

but you cant keep everything. i think you can select like 30 things

[near scarab]

Good to know, thanks for telling me

[swift sand]

@near scarab can copy expedition ship and multitool back to primary char, also are able to abuse expedition terminus to bring back more than 8 tech+24 cargo slots (also @empty prairie )

you can only put items in expedition terminus to bring back after you complete and claim all milestones of all phases, phase and final exp rewards

[lean oriole]

so whats max amount of tech and inventory slots can we have? cant find it on the wiki

[swift sand]

exosuit, 60+120; any s-class gear, up to 60 tech; max cargo for ships depends on ship type and class, and up to 120 as well; freighter up to 120 cargo as well

[scenic socket]

Im gonna trust you...this time

[mystic lake]

found a ship and forgot to fix the engines

how do I get it back

[tulip dust]

@mystic lake see post below
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Can't summon a ship?

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

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

ty

[quartz minnow]

so I just built a new corvette and I was wondering, how can I increase the hyperdrive range?

[analog scroll]

Add hyperdrive upgrades that increase range

[quartz minnow]

Where do I get said upgrades?

[analog scroll]

Same place you get them for other ships. Same upgrades. Upgrade vendors in the space stations, just keep looking until you find the ones you want

[untold cove]

what mod did one have to dismantle to get emeril early on?

[gray shoal]

None gives emeril early i think.

[analog scroll]

Not sure there is one. You can get Cadmium from C class engine or phase/photon beam upgrades

Probably easier to just do that and install the emeril drive and go to green stars yourself

[untold cove]

alright, thanks 🙂

[rare heath]

Or someone can trade it to you.

[untold cove]

true, but i dont want that :))

[eager storm]

There was emeril on the expedition planet that’s where I started and got mine

[untold cove]

im have 300 hours of playtime in nms and still havent done a single expedition yet

[eager storm]

Oh I just started playing and started with that

[untold cove]

:))

i think expeditions start off differently, idk

one needs to progress to get to emeril in normal mode

[slow pulsar]

What does this symbol mean?

[untold cove]

(im in a new playthrough atm)

[hexed kindle]

one of your frigate expeditions is currently in that system

[slow pulsar]

alrr thx

[eager storm]

Yeah I just needed to get more and found it ona green star

[slow pulsar]

Also how do i get into like outlaw systems to get black market stuff

[winter phoenix]

Outlaw systems are marked with skulls instead of the usual race icon on the star map

[slow pulsar]

you mean where it says the race of that system?

ohh alrr thanks

[winter phoenix]

Outlaw systems don't have a specific race. They're mixed race outlaws.

[fossil crow]

With what do you feed living frigates

[eager storm]

Has anyone tried installing/playing on rog Xbox ally x? When I try to install it says it should work but may need settings tweaks

[slow pulsar]

Are they rare to find?

Ive only stumbled upon like 2

[slow pulsar]

In all my time of playing

[winter phoenix]

Not at all. Just look around on the starmap, there's got to be at least a dozen in sight at any given moment

[lofty hinge]

@swift sand it went fuzzy froze then crashed again shortly after i got in

[fossil crow]

With what do you feed living frigates

[winter phoenix]

Maybe I'm missing some context, but living frigates don't actually eat. They just do expeditions for you like any other frigate.

[fossil crow]

If I go on my living frigate it gives me the option "feed Ship"

[lofty hinge]

It probably gives boosts or something

[hexed kindle]

any consumable food item will do, it affects the stats of your ship

[fossil crow]

Ah ok thanks

[lofty hinge]

Can you do that with living ships?

[hexed kindle]

it's a core feature of theirs, yes

[lofty hinge]

Is it something you do while they're in the egg or something? Cuz I haven't actually gotten an egg yet

[hexed kindle]

my mistake, living ships can't eat

it's a living frigate thing only

[lofty hinge]

Oh ok

Does anybody else have issues with the screen going fuzzy and then crashing?

[lean oriole]

is there a way to have your own portal on your freight?

[lofty hinge]

It started happening after they did. Remnant

[lean oriole]

it only crashes if i overload it, way too many entities

[hexed kindle]

#bot-spam message there's some good information on living frigates and food here

[winter phoenix]

Portal? No. You can have a teleporter on your freighter though. It's a specific room dedicated to it.

[swift sand]

so not able to teleport out or ship warp out? try to delete game install folder\binaries\settings\tkgraphicssettings.mxml , then launch game again, retest without making any changes to graphics settings

[lofty hinge]

No it just randomly happened. It has nothing to do with teleporting. This is from earlier. Sorry you know how my game was crashing every time I loaded it

[swift sand]

my game was crashing every time I loaded it

so not able to teleport out or ship warp out?
before it crashes

that's what i had in mind

was getting to it i wasnt on my computer

[quartz minnow]

Just did this and went from 60 jump range to 829

[frozen plinth]

how do i scrap a corvette?

[swift sand]

cant - will have to exchange it with a npc ship, then scrap the npc ship to get active ship slot back

[frozen plinth]

kinda stupid

[swift sand]

always feel free to submit feedback to the devs 🙂

[raven hinge]

You can kinda scrap it

You can take all the stuff back off of it and sell it

But that's as close as you can get really

[frozen plinth]

thats what i did

[raven hinge]

That's the best we got rn 🤷

[autumn dock]

what does the yellow mean

on the border

[livid kayak]

means it's connected to the other modules of the same kind, and it gives you better stats this way

[autumn dock]

thought so just wanted to verify

[livid kayak]

keep in mind it doesn't have to be specifically yellow. Any kind of border will signal to you, that the modules are getting boosts from their neighbours

[swift sand]

i'd suggest supercharging a good scanner module, or boltcaster if you want to deal damage, instead of grav coil. also, you'd want to give more adjacency bonuses to a visor module instead of the core scanner tech.

[autumn dock]

like this?

[dense rock]

I can't retire from settlement. All task's are done

[livid kayak]

Almost. Notice that the middle tile is not connected to the rest of the group (it has no border around). Move it elsewhere

[ember phoenix]

Is there a fix for the problem of constipated animals?

[livid kayak]

yeah, that's way better

[feral rover]

why is it that sometimes when I'm already spamming E to get out of my ship, the ship just decides to take off immediately after it just landed? It happened several times now and I was not even holding hte W or any other button anymore

[swift sand]

what does it say when you try to abandon it? you can just ignore it, dont select its mission

[dense rock]

Complette settlement's objective's

The problem is

They are completed

I do them like 5min ago

[swift sand]

what does the settlers mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing say you need to do?

[winter phoenix]

Colored border = adjacency, it provides more bonuses the more connected modules you have. In this case you get nothing because the central tech has no stats though

[swift sand]

most likely a bug yeah. havent been able to repro that one, i guess i dont really mash the button to exit. any mods on? regardless of ship type?

[autumn dock]

so what if i make the central thing an upgrade instead of a tech

[winter phoenix]

Then those stats get improved. It's particularly impactful for main weapon techs (the ones that display the DPS number), but all upgrades with numbers benefit from it

[feral rover]

I mean, it's in a relatively fresh save so I only have one ship at the moment : D only mod I have is that grass fix mod now for render distance of foliage

[vague sage]

Is this the right channel to ask questions about coordinate exchange troubleshooting?

[swift sand]

@autumn dock note that supercharging buff beats adjacency

[swift sand]

hmm ok, but regardless, i'd recommend reproducing the issue with no mods, just kbm connected, gpu drivers fully up to date ofc - and if you can still repro, raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[swift sand]

nmsce.com ? having trouble finding a ship or something? sure, ask away

[autumn dock]

i have one of them adj and supered, do they stack or does one take priority

[vague sage]

That would be the one yep - I've tried for several multi-tools and none of them have been what is posted. Is there something specific I need to do in order for those tools to load? I've had 100% success with ships

[swift sand]

what i meant was that if you had to sacrifice optimal adjacency to use a supercharged slot, you should, because supercharging buff is going to be stronger. but in this case, you could do something like:

[proper parcel]

refining lithium ingredients?

[dense rock]

Nothin new as I said

[swift sand]

pick one of those that failed, we'll look at it with you

[swift sand]

act quartzite/quartzite+crystalized helium

[swift sand]

no, i mean the tooltip that pops lower right of the screen when you're playing, not the mission log

[tulip dust]

Hints lower right of the screen can be force cycled by just spam pressing H or D-pad Left as needed.

[swift sand]

look for gas giant tag, if you got them unlocked already

[proper parcel]

i dont on this playthru just remember from last one

[swift sand]

i've seen people say that when getting atlantid tools, sometimes the class is wrong. i've seen people report that reloading a bunch of times on the same planet eventually popped the s-class - which is totally weird to me how something like this can happen, imo a bug

[vague sage]

Makes sense. Can you re-interact with a monolith for an event? I haven't been able to trigger it again once I've done it once

[echo imp]

I found a planet that has memory stones. They give blueprints for new building sections. I found a bunch of them so far. When did they add these to the game. I had no idea they existed until I literally walked up on a memory stone and got my first blueprint.

[swift sand]

yeah, no, that's not going to be "on demand" like that. save file already remembers that you took it, so until it's forced to forget it, it'll stay unavailable.

[vague sage]

gotcha. Thank you for your help!

[swift sand]

worlds part 2 update

jan 2025

[dense rock]

@swift sand

[swift sand]

looks like you should be able to abandon it

do you have a mission called a trace of metal in your log?

[dense rock]

I think problem can be with taking someone other settlement in one place

[echo imp]

It must have been right before I started playing I have just over 400 hours.

[autumn dock]

there are ATLAS WORDS?

[swift sand]

some 240-260 iirc

easy to max when on atlas eternal mission

especially if you ||birth a star|| at the end of the atlas path

[near scarab]

How to leave community expedition? I wonna go back to my normal save

[dense rock]

Nope. Propably do before

[swift sand]

select a diff mission, then go quick menu/utilities/settlement register/<select the settlement>/history/abandon - what does it say?

[swift sand]

save, then options/return to primary

[dense rock]

Can't retire. Complet settlement objective's

[swift sand]

did you make sure that there isnt' any buildings that need interaction?

maybe to be unveiled after an upgrade

[dense rock]

I fly around village like 20 time's

And if there be option

I not be able to build something new in start of our convo

I think best solution for now

I propably made back-up

And delete json file of settlement this number

Via save editor

[odd saddle]

i’ve only tested this on two moons, but i find that scrapping garbage is much easier on moons. they tend to be flatter, and each waste heap i’ve seen on these moons is only 1-4 minutes away from the scrapyard

for anyone who still bothers to pick up trash

[untold cove]

omg H.... finally lol

[autumn dock]

why is my interact key broken

[swift sand]

something that sometimes also works to "juggle its memory" when it comes to settlement stuff is to core warp (but remember to protect suit and gear from damage)

[hazy berry]

what was the best way to try and find an certain type of settlement

im missing an vykeen one, but i wold rather that it wouldnt be on extreme world like the rest of mine

something pretty

[empty prairie]

that is a great tip, thank you!

are there plants that one could plant on a moon ?

[swift sand]

no real best way afaik, but find the planet you like first, on a vykeen system, then save and try to use a settlement chart there

[hazy berry]

there was the one dude that was looking for the galatic trade terminal, diid they ever find it?

[swift sand]

focus on yellow star systems

[swift sand]

yep

[empty prairie]

wait, why vykeen system ?

[swift sand]

im missing an vykeen one
they mentioned this, so i figured 😄

[hazy berry]

i want an vykeen settlement, i have the other races

[swift sand]

grah!

[empty prairie]

ahh thank you!

[swift sand]

have you tried restarting the game?

[autumn dock]

i quit to menu then went back in, fixed the interact key AND deactivated the sentinel force

[hazy berry]

abit of an stupid question

i have always been playing on keyboard and mouse, does nms controller version have hotkeys liku keyaboard and mouse

like i summon my ship with 5, and switch camera with 3, etc

[regal pike]

I wouldn't think so, limited buttons and all

[autumn dock]

controllers don't even have enough buttons WITHOUT hotkeys for most games, with is NOT HAPPENING. (Honestly, on some games i run out of buttons on my keyboard.)

[regal pike]

that's why radial menus exist

[hazy berry]

how do you run out of buttonks on kb? 60% keyboard?

[swift sand]

maybe with some trickery - but no, not officially

[autumn dock]

Nope! 100% + media! It was a minecraft modpack with 400 mods

[hazy berry]

thats kinda rough, they are pretty "game changing"

well that makes sense, they like to add 10 fuctions to one key

i dont use controller, was just wondering

[winter phoenix]

Though what would the suggestion even be? Add more buttons to controllers worldwide?

[autumn dock]

hello games clearly just needs to make an aftermarket controller with 600 buttons

[regal pike]

someone mod the Steel Battlion controller for NMS

[hazy berry]

would that also be an free update?

implement a radial menu for example

[autumn dock]

yes, they should ship controllers to every player

[swift sand]

let's not delve offtopic

[hazy berry]

sorry

[regal pike]

Here's a question. Has Hello Games ever given any reason why they don't have expeditions running all the time? They go for, what, 6 weeks each, which means they could go through about 8 every year on constant cycle. And they don't have to plan out too far. Have one announced following the current one, which leaves plenty of space to add in new ones to the rotation.

[autumn dock]

Expeditions are meant to be rare events the community gets excited for.

[hazy berry]

well the expidations are usually uptade focused like the xurrent one with the trash

so i dont know what they could run without them becoming repetitive

[swift sand]

Has Hello Games ever given any reason why they don't have expeditions running all the time?
nope

[regal pike]

Well, there are over 20 of them right now, and they would only be able to do 8 per year. That means almost 3 years before you get back to the start again

But at least people that have missed some could be waiting for the ones they missed, rather than wondering IF they will ever come back

And after 3 years, you could probably enjoy an expedition you have already run before

[hazy berry]

when fishing in the fishpool, are you soppesed to see the "glowing" fish or not

or are myu graphihcs just that low

[regal pike]

your water effects could be real low

[hazy berry]

they are on high

[swift sand]

yeah, but it got broke at some point, i think about the time when fishing bob stopped blinking

[regal pike]

I think he is saying he can't see the fish through the water

yes?

[swift sand]

yep, those 3 glowy fish that "spawn" and swim around till one nibbles

the ones that can indicate what size the fish's going to be

[hazy berry]

yeah those ones, so they are broken?

[swift sand]

in the settlement pond yeah, iirc they did spawn there too

[autumn dock]

what does re-orientate sentinel mean

[swift sand]

magnetize it

[hazy berry]

the fishing bond must be rigged, i have not gotten anything else than shrieking oysters for the past 5 mins

[celest bone]

does anyone know how using a save editor ( goat fungus ) i can get all corvette parts?

[swift sand]

s-class pond? yeah that happens

[swift sand]

you mean that you're after deadeye cannon and the atlas themed expedition exclusive parts?

[feral rover]

umm, would be right if I assumed that dogfighting is hella bugged in multiplayer? xd we tried a nexus mission and enemies sometimes just didn't take dmg / recharged shields instantly despite getting shot in the face

[celest bone]

kind of? im new to corvette building and havent played in a year. just found out about corvettes and i want to get all the parts instead of having to scavenge for them manually

that way i can just get straight to building

[hazy berry]

thanks for all the help today guys - goodnight to yall

[swift sand]

well, you could certainly use a save editor to give yourself 1 of each corvette parts, then in game go options/difficulty/crafting=free, and build to your heart's content. you could even use a save editor to unlock the expedition exclusives i was referring to

[celest bone]

yeah about the first part, i cant find the corvette parts for the life of me in the editor

[swift sand]

yeah, those desyncs can probably lead to stuff like that. perhaps if changing who "hosts" might be a little better, or trying a lan cable connection if possible instead of wifi if wifi reception sucks a bit

[feral rover]

it's cabled for both of us :/ but I guess there's no helping those situations then

[dense rock]

I solve problem with editing file

Still

Mayor building vaporize xD

@swift sand

[autumn dock]

just juggled a sentinel for two minutes. i am now in hiding, but i have five extra multitool slots

[potent mango]

Is there a specific system I can find s class dreadnought or is it just pot luck?

[regal pike]

all you should have to do is grab a small flying one like it is waste, not even sure you have to shoot it away

[regal pike]

pretty sure the class is always random, but if you get one that isn't S, reload your last save and return to that system, do the fight again until it is S

[untold cove]

how to boost in the colossus?

[regal pike]

should be the same button as for any exocraft

[untold cove]

sadly nothing happens when i press space

[swift sand]

left shift

[untold cove]

oh

[swift sand]

space bar is "jump"

[untold cove]

ooh, lol

[swift sand]

(colossus doesnt really jump anymore lol)

[untold cove]

i wish, lmao

[regal pike]

it does enough to maybe escape a hole when at speed

[untold cove]

wonder if i can rebind to space

[regal pike]

should be able to

[swift sand]

oh if really timed right, it might still i guess

but yeah, it doesn't really "jump" like roamer can for example, was mostly what i was thinking

[regal pike]

that is true

[swift sand]

pinged you in #nms-modding

[odd saddle]

you can plant any plant that can grow in a given environment. for example you can plant solar vine on a hot moon, echinocactus on a desert moon, etc

[swift sand]

(or just use trays/domes, or glitch build/use a mod to build any plant on the ground)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1423819254817357986/harvestplants_buried_dome_hb.mp4

[half stone]

So I got a bytebeat switch for my bytebeat set up, got the lighted floors and boxes. I connect it to the lights, the power, and the bytebeats. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong and it's kinda frustrating 💀 been stuck on this for almost an hour

The bytebeat shows a red light like it's off, but it's picking up my music. Do I have to have multiple? What's the deal lmao

[dense rock]

Where to build each type of settlement. I hear something about economy making sense?

They have any difrence? Besides diffrent resources on marketplace/baazar?

[swift sand]

yeah, sometimes you do need multiple bytebeats, so that each one can play a part of the song

i'd perhaps suggest giving this post a read https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1941411630

[swift sand]

in short, settlement race somewhat affects what settlement can produce, and ofc the building aesthetics

[half stone]

I appreciate you so much ty

[tardy geyser]

have the old commerce terminals from spacial stations been deleted? i keep traveling from system to system tryna find one but cant

all space stations look different from what i remember, idk if its a new kind of stations or

i havent played since adrift expedition btw

[autumn dock]

Galactic Trade Terminals are still part of every station, they are near the teleporter

[swift sand]

regular station interiors were overhauled back in the orbital update, there's still a trade terminal in the station, in the wall, in front of the teleporter

@tardy geyser look for the units hologram:

[tardy geyser]

found it, tysm

[dense rock]

I mean star system economy type

Not race

[swift sand]

no longer an influence

we can decide which products settlement will craft, of the products on the list ofc

[dusty cypress]

Anyone here play much multiplayer in NMS?

[dense rock]

Baazar/Marketplace offer's diffrent product's

[swift sand]

pretty sure that there's lots who do yeah - do you have an issue with multiplayer atm?

[autumn dock]

i wish that they added the ability to make your own space station at some point, but realistically what would the upgrades even be?

[dense rock]

You think some of them are more important?

[swift sand]

ah yes, no, that's just randomized

[tardy geyser]

also, is living ship still obtainable? ive got the pieces but dont see the mission

[swift sand]

we cant really make use of guild envoys to claim multiple times, and often the npcs just bug out and disappear

[swift sand]

it is; do you still have a mission called starbirth in your mission log? a secondary one

[swift sand]

#nms-the-future 😉

[dense rock]

This is no something what are not same like in economy system?

[tardy geyser]

oh yeah thanks lmao

[dense rock]

I always think about this like that way

With possible higher tiers

[swift sand]

type !faq-livingship in #nms-commands for more infos

[dense rock]

Because of S update

Like. If economy is tier 2

And you have S

You can actually have all product's of type

[odd saddle]

Can i beef up the cyclops scanner with upgrade modules or is it just tied to my multitool’s upgrades

[dusty cypress]

Not sure how strong the multiplayer really is yet. Are bases still tied to individual players, or is there now a way for groups like a crew, guild, or clan to share a base or ship that can be accessed even when the original owner isn’t online?

[swift sand]

well, the guild envoy at the settlement will be of the same guild as the system, and the npc shop keeper has a randomzied inventory

[swift sand]

is it just tied to my multitool’s upgrades
this, yes

[dense rock]

I mean. Trade terminal

[swift sand]

Are bases still tied to individual players
no true base co-ownership still
is there now a way for groups like a crew, guild, or clan to share a base or ship that can be accessed even when the original owner isn’t online?
nope

[dusty cypress]

Missed opportunity there

[swift sand]

yeah.. i mean.. their trade terminal is like a trade terminal at a base, or at a trade outpost. it's not going to be as stockpiled as a station terminal is in a t3 system

[full mantle]

How rare are double rings? I've never seen it in at least 400ish hours of gameplay

[swift sand]

fairly rarer to see, yeah

[full mantle]

ok, thanks

[near scarab]

Guys is there a way to locate a material through the system i have visited already?
Or is there an alternative way to find the material i am looking for?

[swift sand]

what material are you looking for?

[near scarab]

Phosphorus, its a mining mission

[agile flame]

The Hunter // The Reflection // The Hunter // The Spiral of Reality // The Star Over Water // The Ascending Orb // The Veiled Companion // The Hunter // The Lowly Insect // The Anomaly // The Sailor // The Ocean King // EUCLID EUCLID EUCLID

What do I have to do next??

[half stone]

So I read the guide. Followed it to a T. Still no luck, they also unfortunately barely talked about the lights 😭 my devices are showing green, and they're connected but still not lighting up

Ahhhhhh I wanna scream bro 🤣🤣💀

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

[swift sand]

it's a glyph address; see <#nms-commands message>, type !faq-livingship in #nms-commands for more infos

[agile flame]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[mint glen]

In my corvette, I don't think I installed a photon cannon module on purpose, but I seem to have one, is that just a basic part that comes with, or did I mess up somewhere?

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-base-building , also get some screenshots to show your setup. iirc, light changing through bytebeat wasnt' really working

[swift sand]

is that just a basic part that comes with
yep, and cant be taken off

[mint glen]

Thanks

[turbid glacier]

I just killed a sentinel walker… wtf

[astral veldt]

so if someone gives me aeron parts their is no way i can make more unless i do the expitdation correct?

[swift sand]

correct, since you dont have the blueprint unlocked for them

[fervent halo]

Anyone know a good planet for hauling cargo?

with the collosus

and not somewhere where its bumpy

[swift sand]

@astral veldt that said, you could possibly options/difficulty/crafting=free

[astral veldt]

well i have that cause i like to build ships but it shows that i have zero but when i destroy the ship i use i get them all back

[odd saddle]

Yes

Want to join my group, i can take you there

[livid kayak]

And if you don't mind using mods, and are on PC, you can always run the expeditions unofficially

[fervent halo]

I dont have playstation plus sadly

[astral veldt]

i play on xbox

[fervent halo]

so i cant join

right?

[swift sand]

right

you could get a glyph address and portal there yourself for example

[fervent halo]

do you have an adress m@?

[odd saddle]

yeah one sec. it’s in budullangr galaxy fyi

[fervent halo]

how many times do i have to swap galaxys for budull?

[odd saddle]

i think it’s the 7th galaxy

empty galaxy

it would be easier to type the glyph lol

[swift sand]

can you discuss this in dm perhaps?

[odd saddle]

i’ll send him the glyphs and be done with it

[astral veldt]

wait i desttroy the ship but now all the peices are gone bruu

dismattle

[swift sand]

talking about a corvette?

[astral veldt]

yes

[livid kayak]

Make sure they aren't in your corvette parts stash. The console next to the one you use for building

[fervent halo]

on average should i press the first glpyh to get to the center every time im switching galaxys?

[swift sand]

did you sell it to a npc? well, yes, you'd want to first delete all the parts you wanted to keep, replace them with basic ones you didnt mind losing to be able to finalize ship, then yeah, exchanged it

[astral veldt]

i mean they are gone gone

[tardy geyser]

i have an ongoing mission from like a year ago in a galaxy i dont remember, how do i travel to it? like i know i gotta use the portals in space stations but how

[livid kayak]

ah, i see

[swift sand]

yes, twelve times gets you close to the core, just a few warps to a gateway system from there, regardless of galaxy. remember that core warping damages installed tech and modules on suit, active ship and MT?

[winter phoenix]

That seems unlikely, but walk us through the sequence of events? What did you do and why did you expect this would give you parts?

[swift sand]

what mission is this? goto a teleporter, do you see a destination on the list that says "closer to <mission name>", or the same mission icon on it?

[astral veldt]

i think i figured out what i did

does the delete like remove remove me

them

[winter phoenix]

What do you even mean by delete? You can't delete corvettes

[astral veldt]

their parts

when you click on the part

[winter phoenix]

You can't delete parts either. Or rather, the only way is to first remove them from a corvette and then delete it inside you inventory. But that's very deliberate.

[tardy geyser]

first traveler, i dont see any clues in the teleporter menu

[swift sand]

well, in the workshop builder, we can

and when we do, if we're not on creative/crafting=free, we'd get the deleted corvette part back in our inventory

[astral veldt]

well not for me

it is gone and that is only thing i did

[winter phoenix]

Did you actually save your new configuration?

[swift sand]

if your inventories were full, they got pushed into the workshop cache - were supposed to

[livid kayak]

The corvette parts, after "deletion", might end up only in two places. Either in your inventory, or parts cache, accessible via the console next to the one used for building your corvette

[south tartan]

(Expedition question)
What do I do if the next waste heap is over 24 minutes away from me?? I can't fly or anything, so am I just gonna have to drive for 25 minutes like I'm doing a morning commute to work?

[swift sand]

what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing saying you need to do? is there a restart using nearby structures button lower right in the mission log for that mission?

[winter phoenix]

#nms-expedition

[swift sand]

24minutes isn't actually too far away, just seems like it is because of speed. well, yes, you're going to have to

[south tartan]

That's while going full speed in the collossus

[south tartan]

I know

[swift sand]

iirc, checkpoint 4 will give you 3 s-class engine modules

[astral veldt]

See I have four of them but the rest is gone

[south tartan]

This is checkpoint 3

[swift sand]

yeah, idk then, if they're not in other inventories

[astral veldt]

Let me restart my game

[swift sand]

well, sucks, i know. keep driving

[winter phoenix]

If they're not in your inventory yet, they're probably still on your old corvette.

[astral veldt]

Hopefully this works

[south tartan]

Okay, well this is just horrible level design lmao

[swift sand]

honestly, maybe i just got lucky or something, but all of mine were like max 15min away, most 10, 12

[odd saddle]

is there a way to get a singularity engine without having done the associated expedition

[tardy geyser]

the tooltip just says some like "the mission is in another system, use teleportetrs to return other systems"

[swift sand]

save editing, service bot probably

[odd saddle]

i had a 30 minute drive once i feel your pain

[winter phoenix]

It does seem to vary quite a bit. I never got any that were more than 5 minutes away. Usually they were 2-3

[south tartan]

Same, but for whatever reason I have a drive that lasts absurdly long for no good reason

[swift sand]

goto a teleporter, interact with it, post a screenshot please

[tardy geyser]

nvm i restarted it

[swift sand]

aha

[tardy geyser]

thanks tho

[astral veldt]

I guess I have to ask if someone can give me some cause restarting the game do not work but thanks for help tho

[swift sand]

i did mention the button

[winter phoenix]

Did you save your old corvette without the parts?

[tardy geyser]

yessrr, only then did i see it lmao

[astral veldt]

So I built a new ship after I dismantled my old but after that I looked and they are not their

[tardy geyser]

im blind as hell

[livid kayak]

it's not actually going to be 25 minutes iirc. It's just a rough estimation and it's rarely accurate

should be a bit faster than that

[south tartan]

It better be 10 minutes off bro

This is ridiculous

can't back out either because I have spent several hours in this expedition... and if I leave never to return, then I did all that work for nothing

[livid kayak]

the game tries to estimate it based on your current speed, but it's rarely accurate

[winter phoenix]

There really aren't any important rewards for doing expeditions anyway, you canjust ignore them if you're not enjoying it. And if you're on PC you can just declare yourself eligible for the rewards anyway

[south tartan]

When I go on foot (standing still) it says 1 hr

25 minutes when in the collossus

[charred haven]

it's probably around 10-15 minutes irl time

[south tartan]

wdym by declare myself lol

[astral veldt]

Is pc no man sky better than console

[winter phoenix]

Mods or save edits. You can get access to any and all expedition rewards

[south tartan]

Nah that's cheating

If I have to cheat to have fun then that's on the devs

[charred haven]

I get it, but the game won't think so

[swift sand]

and as far as other players go, the only person the choice matters to is yourself

[winter phoenix]

Yes, but not by much unless you want to mod the game. A few more hotkey options and a bit better graphics.

[tardy geyser]

i prefer controller ngl, other than that i havent seen any differences between both

[charred haven]

Graphisc, on a good pc system can't realy compare at all. At least on higher end compared to lower end consoles like ps4

[south tartan]

I play Ark, so I know what you're saying

[swift sand]

pc has access to things consoles dont, at least not directly. mods, save editing, etc. if you wanted to have those options on the table, pc would be the way to go. remember that there's cross save too.

nms devs certainly wont ban anybody for unlocking exp rewards with <whatever option available here>

[astral veldt]

Ohhh

[charred haven]

Mac, however, ime cannot run propper ultra graphics

[astral veldt]

Well I have a good pc might as well

[south tartan]

oh yeah go to pc what lol

[charred haven]

if you are used to controllers, it's pretty seamless to just plug it in

[tardy geyser]

indeed

[astral veldt]

Yeah I have a controller I use for pc

[tardy geyser]

i find keyboard and mouse awful ngl

[charred haven]

I use controller for air combat, and k/m for most other things

[south tartan]

I mean if there's a way to teleport me to that rendezvous point then I'll cheat to do that

[quartz minnow]

How can I tell if a system is pirate controlled

[swift sand]

on foot quick menu - what options do you have? iirc the option they added was to return to nearest plant, not heap

[craggy peak]

why are all the sentinel ships I find orange? I'm i just cursed?

[quartz minnow]

idk

[swift sand]

the skulls, the black market synonym

[craggy peak]

oh, my bad, didn't mean to ping you

[fickle sparrow]

I don’t get how to play I tried to play with my little brother and it always keeps saying connection lost from host even whenever he try’s to join me and the game I just don’t get in general

[swift sand]

keep moving away from your current region - dont stay in the same area of the galaxy - you'll find some non orange ones. also, remember, only 1 sentinel ship design per suitable dissonant system

[south tartan]

utilities, creatures, summon vehicles, recharge equipment, gestures, and photo mode

[craggy peak]

oh, is it by region? I have been moving systems, but didn't know colors were tied to regions. I thought it was just random like everything else.

[swift sand]

yeah none of those

[south tartan]

That's all I got lol

[swift sand]

not really, but moving around increases your chances of finding something different

[craggy peak]

gotchya. Guess I'm going back to black hole jumps then. thanks!

[swift sand]

test: which of you cant see other players walking around in the anomaly?

[fickle sparrow]

We don’t even know how to do that but we just can’t join eachother in general we both started the game and wanted to progress together

[signal lichen]

Anyone getting a bug where rusted crates and other general loot boxes aren't giving the option to search them?

[swift sand]

1. that's not really a good idea because quests can bug sometimes when playing a group, and most likely will
2. that said, the space anomaly is a location in game that is unlocked shortly after starting to progrss the main storyline - it also acts as a multiplayer hub, and if all is working well with multiplayer, then one sees other players walking around. it's a good troubleshooting step.
3. that said, what happens if both of you create a character via main menu/play game, then one of you saves and returns to main menu, and then tries to join the one still in game via main menu/join friends?

[quartz minnow]

So uh I just saw a planet that says “imminent core detonation” should I land on it?

[swift sand]

just a synonym for lava biome planets - it's not going to blow up

[dense rock]

Is there an option to force settlement on planet I want?

Give me around 10 in other planet's in system

Planet I choose have life, is lowkey flat and exotic

I don't know where problem lay's...

Sometimes I wanna kill AI

For like 1h

Tell's me to search settlement on exotic planet

There no settlement's on exotic planet's

I talk about this type with 1 fauna and very specific ground like hexagon's

Or some type of soul valley

[swift sand]

nope, no direct option for that

[swift sand]

yep, i've never found a settlement on a planet with gold on the list

[swift sand]

right, those

hexagonal subtype yea

[dense rock]

Lowkey sad they no give us option. See what gold I found

[swift sand]

afaik, exotic biome planets cant have them

[dense rock]

Odyultauai, Korvax system, 3 tier experimental economy

Everything was perfect

[main stone]

if i want to try to find an S-class staff do i just keep making them in the autophage camps and hope one of them rolls S? or is there a different way?

[dense rock]

Higher economy system's have better chance to have S

As I heard

If you wanna roll. Try in good system

[main stone]

is there a better way? honestly i just want any good S class multi tool doesnt have to be a staff

i dont want to use my upgrades on my B class

[dense rock]

Sentinel pillar's are propably the easiet. If you unlock portal then use glyph's
#nms-multitools

In this chanel you have a lot of example's/cord's

[swift sand]

1. we can store installed tech/modules to move to a diff tool later
2. we can class upgrade a tool or staff we like with nanites, and with some strategies, farming the nanites is often faster than finding a s-class natural
3. that said, see video https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1422721954762326016/staff_build_glitching_1.mp4

when you "glitch" it, sometimes it changes or iow "flexes" class too.

[main stone]

i mean the slot upgrade things. i dont want to add a bunch of slots to a tool i know im gonna change

but thx i will look

[swift sand]

ah sorry, misunderstood - yeah, gotcha, totally understandable

[main stone]

i didnt use the right words, you'd think after this many hours i would know the name of things

[swift sand]

it's okay 🙂 we got there

[dense rock]

I wanna made settlement's in some good scenerio.
For autophage I have snowy dissonans mountain's. I wanna have some variety. For gek i propably use Paradise and For Vykeen Desert.
Any suggestion's what can suit Korvax?

[livid kayak]

anything i guess, since they are robotic lifeforms, in a constant pursuit of increasing their knowledge

[dense rock]

Lowkey agree. Still there is difrence about esthetic purpouse.
I mean more in they building's style

[rapid cape]

how rare is this?

[livid kayak]

You mean the S class, or the design itself?

[rapid cape]

S class Dreadnought

[dense rock]

Rare. Not very rare. In my opinion capital's take much more effort to grind

If you are not lucky

In 20 dreadnought fight you can propably got one

[livid kayak]

The looks of the freighter (Dreadnaught type) isn't anything rare. The class, on the other hand, is. Here's the table that shows you your chances of encountering it, based on the system's economy:

[rapid cape]

I heard its really hard to get an S class in this type apparently

[spring whale]

Monoliths on this planet wont government me an option to locate a portal, does that mean there isn't one?

[urban briar]

Are you interacting with them twice?

[rapid cape]

also Should I keep it the crew isnt what i want but does that really matter?

[livid kayak]

Nah, i don't think the type has anything to do with it. It's just the S class, that you might have troubles finding, no matter what kind of freighter you want, as shown in the table above

[spring whale]

@urban briar its not letting me

[main stone]

If i just ignore the frigate captain calls in space (e.g. dont answer the phone) do bad things happen?

[urban briar]

Not something I've encountered. As you suggested, you could try another planet in the system.

[spring whale]

Ok. Thanks.

[rapid cape]

cause I would prefer korvax crew

[livid kayak]

the type of crew is only a visual difference. You can go with whatever you like, but i'd advise to keep this freighter. In short, like i've said: At best you'll always have only 5% chances of encountering another S class freighter, at the given time, and you can't upgrade the freighter class

So yeah, i'd take it

[frigid mantle]

I completed a mission a few days defeating pirates that were attacking a freighter. I went on board and requested payment, turns out I apparently could of take the freighter for myself? Is there anyway I can still get my first freighter? I don't know how to.

[livid kayak]

Yeah you can always demand the payment or take over the entire freighter. If you remember where you encountered the first one, you can go back to that system and try to trigger the encounter. If not, you'll get another chance with a different one pretty soon

[frigid mantle]

If I go to a outlaw based system would it increase the odds?

[cobalt iron]

hi, someone know if is possible remove this engine lines?
Even native in the game or any specific mod?

[livid kayak]

Yeah, have you seen the table i've posted above? Outlaw systems have the highest chance for S class.

[livid kayak]

i think there should be a mod for that. Try asking at #nms-modding

[frigid mantle]

Yes I seen the table, the way I triggered the last encounter I believe was true the mission agent on a space station. With the mission being to kill 7 pirates or something in space.

Anyways thanks!

[livid kayak]

You're welcome, and just in case, remember that you do not need any specific mission active, in order to trigger the encounter.
Usually all you need is to play the game for at least 3 hours and jump to at least 5 new systems, counting from the previous encounter.
Pirate freighter attacks should occure even more often

[main stone]

I don't really want to go fight these guys fugitives for them 😂 that's what i pay them for

[alpine ember]

When I hook wires to the bio dome, it doesn’t register with the quest

[quartz minnow]

idk if im just unlucky but ive done 10 BATTLES and i got a c class dreadnought everytime

why cant i just get s class

[urban briar]

I reloaded my battle for 12 hours over two days.

[quartz minnow]

how do you reload it

[urban briar]

So, I saved my game, in a station, before warping in to the battle. Once I complete the battle, dock with the freighter, I just look at the ship with my scanner and see the class. REload restore point, rinse and repeat.

[quartz minnow]

do you dock in a station near the system or a station IN the system

[urban briar]

As it is the warp that initiates the encounter, I save in the system before the warp.

[south tartan]

Do I get to keep all of the units (credits) I accumulate during the expedition at the end?

[livid kayak]

Yeah, after you finish it, the expedition save file converts to a normal game mode.

and you can continue from there, with everything you've earned

[south tartan]

Can I bring these credits over to my main save though

My main question is regarding whether or not I am able to keep literally everything I accumulate during the expedition

and bring it to my main save

[livid kayak]

You can transfer some things, via the expedition terminal at the anomaly, but you need to start the exp from your main save first.
if you started from the main menu, and thus creating an entirely new save file, you won't be able to transfer anything

[south tartan]

I started the expedition from a separate save

which is my main save

[south tartan]

So am I, or am I not, able to transfer the credits I accumulate during the expedition to my main save sinece that's where I started the expedition from

[livid kayak]

so you loaded up your main save and went to the Anomaly, in order to start the exp from there, right?

[south tartan]

correct

[livid kayak]

alright, yeah you should be good then, i don't remember which things are transferrable and which are not, but just in case - if you want to transfer your money, you can probably just buy some expensive items and put them into the terminal, transfer and sell it in your main

[south tartan]

Yeah that was my back-up option

Only issue is that they won't sell for the same price I bought them at

[livid kayak]

in any case, units are really not an issue in this game. You can easily accumulate more than you'll ever going to need and all the unique expedition rewards are always avaliable at the quicksilver vendor, account wide, so you're not losing much. Do you need any tips on how to effectively farm units?

[modern token]

so i know you can get certain titles from dying in different ways, are there any death titles that are really stupid or difficult to get?

[craggy peak]

how can i check which galaxy I'm in? I just got to a new one for my first time.

[sleek bison]

So Ive been trying to get the stellar multitudes quest and can’t get the encounter I have all the previous quests done is there like a certain trigger?

[livid kayak]

Simply open up your galaxy map, and look at the top-left corner.

[livid kayak]

can you show me the screenshot of your questlog

[livid kayak]

i'm really not sure, since i never tried to intentionally collect them, but i guess you can always go through this list, and check the requirements... It's a long one tho 🙂 https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Player_Titles

[modern token]

oh phooey

thanks

[craggy peak]

oh derp. thanks @livid kayak

i also found opening the camera works too!

[livid kayak]

You're welcome

ah yes, that's true

[raw pelican]

guys i learned all the blueprints for exovehicle nautilon radar but i cant create it someone help me

im inside the nautilon rn and i click on empt slots but theres no option to create the radar

[livid kayak]

are you sure you're clicking on the tech slots, and not the cargo?

the upper set

[raw pelican]

def ye

[livid kayak]

click on this tab and see if it shows up anywhere

[raw pelican]

i clicked on it and it empty

but i bought all the radar blueprints on the anomaly

thats some pre requisite that i might be missing and i dont know what

maybe some mission

idk

[livid kayak]

Do you want to install the High-Power Sonar?

it might be a reward from a sidequest called "Dreams of the Deep" iirc

[raw pelican]

i wanna create it

i have the resources and the blueprint

[livid kayak]

perhaps you need to do the sidequest i mentioned, but if you already bought the blueprint, it's kinda weird. I'm not sure

[feral tulip]

I have 42 K nanites and I'm sorta new to this game where should I spend them Ihv already upgraded my corvet to b class and two starships are pretty basic

[livid kayak]

Upgrade your ship or your favorite multitool, both investments will be very beneficial. There's also a lot of methods to farm nanites if you're interested in speeding up the process

[spring whale]

What are the chances of finding an s class of this type of freighter?

[storm otter]

I was wondering, if for example 2 people get a ship from the same expedition, the supercharger slots can be different for each player right?

[fervent halo]

Is it normal for the collousus tracks front for me to not move then start moving randomly?

and no, they didnt move if i slowed down or sped up

[raw pelican]

found the problem i bought the wrong blueprints lmao

[livid kayak]

Chances are entirely dependant on the system's economy you're in. I'll provide you with a handy table

[fervent halo]

thats rare from what ive explored, or ive spent too much time on planets lmao

and or avoiding them

[spring whale]

Oh. So I need to search rich outlaw systems.. cool thanks

[livid kayak]

Right 🙂 it happens sometimes.

[storm otter]

Just Google it mate. Someone will have found one, and probably with good slots too

[spring whale]

Yea i dont see them very often either

[feral tulip]

@livid kayak Thank you for the help 🧡

[storm otter]

OK I googled my question and got my answer there. Ty anyway if someone was going to answer it

[fervent halo]

I keep getting the same heap waste, can anyone help me?

[north laurel]

I found a S-class Sentinal freighter. I already have a S class Dreadnought. Is it possible for someone to join me and claim it? I don’t no anything about multiplayer.

[fervent halo]

they kinda cant

unless they did the requirements for it to spawn and stuff

i dont think so atleast

[north laurel]

I wasn’t sure, I’m standing next to the captain figured someone joining would spawn at my location

[quartz minnow]

Warped through 26 pirate systems

Not a single dreadnought event.

[fervent halo]

you gotta play the game for 4 hours with no afking

thats how they spawn

you also gotta do another thing

[quartz minnow]

I have 100+ hours

and meet the requirements

[fervent halo]

in a single session

[quartz minnow]

Rlly?

That’s kinda bs

[fervent halo]

yeah

[north laurel]

Do you own a freighter

[quartz minnow]

I own a dreadnought

It’s b class tho

I’m looking for s class

[livid kayak]

that's incorrect. It's 3 hours, and it's cumulative, meaning it doesn't have to be a single session. cc: @quartz minnow

[fervent halo]

thought it was 4 hours sorry

[quartz minnow]

Well I meet the requirements and have 100+ hours

[north laurel]

lol, I’ve gotten multiple dreadnought events back to back

[quartz minnow]

gimme your luck

[livid kayak]

so 3 hours of gameplay, counting from the last freighter encounter, plus at least 5 warps to new systems. You've done all that, right?

[quartz minnow]

I NEED an s class dreadnought

[quartz minnow]

yep

I have the whole storyline complete too

And purple systems

[fervent halo]

tip, make an autosave OUTSIDE the dreadnought or ship you want

then go in and see the class

if its not what you want reload

[quartz minnow]

Speak of the devil I just got one

[livid kayak]

yeah the save should be done before jumping to the 5th system, or before the one in which your desired design can spawn

[fervent halo]

I keep getting the same heap waste, can anyone help me?

[livid kayak]

are you doing the expedition?

[north laurel]

Doing this it was 84 attempts. 79C, 2B’s, 2A’s then finally a S

[fervent halo]

yes

[livid kayak]

make sure you have all the previous checkpoint milestones done, one per each phase

[fervent halo]

ive looted the heap there

i need 5 more radioactive waste

[quartz minnow]

It’s another fucking c class

I’m genuinely going insane

[livid kayak]

you can also find some, lying around randomly outside the heaps, tho it might take a while. You're at the 5th phase now, correct?

[fervent halo]

yup

how do you know

[livid kayak]

You've said you're only missing 5 radioactives. In any case, i'd suggest getting your space ship. It should be unlocked after completing one of the last milestones if i recall correctly, and just fly around, looking for a new heap from above. You can then place a geobay for your Colossus, summon it there and collect the new waste.

[fervent halo]

i dont think it lets us at all

[livid kayak]

what? Unlock the space ship? i was able to fly around before finishing the expedition

[fervent halo]

"repair impossible, seek other escape"

[severe crown]

I'm going to have to test to see if there is a minimum amount needed to get the ship unlocked. Because I had it while still working on things as well. The icon just appeared and I could use it.

[fervent halo]

thanks tanek

Is it normal for the collousus tracks front for me to not move then start moving randomly?
and no, they didnt move if i slowed down or sped up

oh look at that, i found a waste heap lol

[livid kayak]

the tracks visuals might be bugged but i'm not sure about it

if it's just the visual glitch, it will most likely fix itself when you restart the game

[fervent halo]

as soon as you said that they started working lmao

found my fourth raidoactive waste

i thought i found my last but its js a chest

game said sorry to me and summoned a radioactive waste infront of me

[pastel prawn]

What is causing my colossus to start spinning and all my cargo disappear?

[livid kayak]

Spinning? Can you tell us a bit more?

[cobalt iron]

hi

can someone help to understand the covertt parts???

Example

[livid kayak]

Sure, what do you need to know about them?

[cobalt iron]

here have 2 parts ( same parts ) but... one have 14%+ shild and other 10%+

[pastel prawn]

Not touching my keyboard all the sudden my colossus started spinning and all the cargo vanished, this has happened twice all at depots collecting waste

[cobalt iron]

it looks confuse for me. what the logic or no have logic

[livid kayak]

are you playing with multiplayer enabled?

[pastel prawn]

Yes

I thought about disabling it

[livid kayak]

Yeah, i think it might be it. Glitches or other players griefing you. In any case just disable the multi and reload the game

[pastel prawn]

Ok will try that thanks

[livid kayak]

Yeah i think it's just RNG, unfortunately. But don't worry about it too much. You can place multiple reactors on the same corvette and increase the stats this way

[cobalt iron]

It seems the game only loads up to 3 parts of each component. For example, the reactor I sent in the photo; in the cargo slots, it only allows a maximum of 3, even though I have 5.

In practice, my cargo slots for upgrades are already full.

Can I significantly increase the space for upgrades on the corvette?

Or are you referring to other ways to upgrade the reactor?

I had to use only one landing gear instead of three, because using three meant it was occupying three spaces.

[raw pelican]

i found a ship and i claimed it its a A class ship, someone know how to sell it? i have to fix it and fly it to a space station?

[livid kayak]

Yeah, you can place up to 12 reacotrs if i recall correctly. 3 of each type: Medusa, Ceto, Zenith... etc. So if you want to place more than 3, you need a different types of reactors. And sure you can have more slots for tech, just upgrade your corvette class

[cobalt iron]

so the best way is have 3 of each component?

[livid kayak]

3 of each reactor type, if you really want to push the stats that far

[cobalt iron]

but, about engine... no work in the same way? the game only load max 3 engine "generic"

example if i have 5 diferent engines...

The game no load 3 of each like 5x3 = 15 engine stats. Based in have 5 type but 3 of each.

only 3

mix

[livid kayak]

You'll just need to do the basic repairs. Pulse engine + launch thrusters

then just fly it to the station or summon it there

[raw pelican]

can i summon it after launch and pulse fixes

[livid kayak]

When it comes to engines, you actually only need 3, before they stop giving you any additional stat boosts. You can ofcourse install more, but they will only serve aesthetic purposes.

[cobalt iron]

alrgt... just engine, or have one more thing that you remember?

[livid kayak]

if i'm not mistaken it's 3 for each type of upgrade, meaning shields, weapons, engines etc. and ONLY the reactors work differently there

[livid kayak]

yeah, if you fixed launch and pulse, you should be able to summon it anywhere

that's the absolute minimum

[thick gull]

A Mission says to search the Galaxy Map for systems with water. What denotes a system with water ?

[thick gull]

Nice, thank you.

[livid kayak]

👍

[quartz minnow]

so thanks to grouch

I found 2 systems with guaranteed dreadnought spawns

[livid kayak]

Nice, now good luck with the class re-rolls

if you ask me, even the A is good enough, if you're having a bad luck or don't want to waste more time

[fervent halo]

dreadnoughts are not spawning for me

what do i need to do again?

[livid kayak]

alright, have you tried to warp to a different system or spend some time pulsing around, till you get contacted?

[sleek bison]

I have

[livid kayak]

Wait, what about the "They who returned" questline? You've not completed that one yet, right?

[sleek bison]

Yes I have

With the cloak guys

[livid kayak]

You've lifted the harmonic seal in the camp, etc

[sleek bison]

Yep

[fervent halo]

@livid kayak after you help him/her i have a question

[livid kayak]

Well, it looks like you've got all the prerequisites then... All that's left to do is to engage your pulse drive and wait for contact

[sleek bison]

Okay I’ll keep trying

Thanks

[livid kayak]

What's up?

[fervent halo]

What are the requirements for a pirate dready to spawn?

[livid kayak]

Well, first of all, you must already own a different freighter

got one yet?

[fervent halo]

yup

[livid kayak]

Then just go to a system, that, for example vice has posted here, recently. It has a guranteed encounter spawn

#nms-questions message

[fervent halo]

isnt there another requirement?

[livid kayak]

other than that, the usuall applies. At least 3 hours of active gameplay and at least 5 warp jumps done since the last encounter, but you already know that

[fervent halo]

last encounter from wjat?

[livid kayak]

freighter battle

[fervent halo]

i have to fight a freighter?

destroy*

[livid kayak]

Nope, since you've last encoutered a feighter battle, you need to meet the above requirements

[fervent halo]

randomly or from an outlaw quest?

[livid kayak]

just from whenever you've last seen the battle.

[fervent halo]

does it reset if you have to reload your game?

[livid kayak]

Absolutely not

don't worry

so in short: 3 active gameplay hours (not required to be done in one session) + 5 warp jumps, since the last time you've had a freighter battle event. Oh and you need to have at least 2 rescue battles done

[fervent halo]

rescue battles?

[livid kayak]

yeah, the ones where you have to defend a freighter from pirate ship attacks

[fervent halo]

are you able to send me every version of the dreadnought?

also how do you make a rescue battle happen?

[livid kayak]

i mean as far as i know, there's only two types of Dreadnaught class freighters in game, atm. Pirate and Sentinel

[fervent halo]

ooh

i think the one i want is the sentinal

[livid kayak]

the first one is a pirate, the second one is a sentinel

[fervent halo]

yup the sentinal is the one i want

[livid kayak]

got ya, then you need to find a system in which they spawn

[fervent halo]

is it the one listed that gronch found?

is it in*

[livid kayak]

Nope, that's for the pirate one

[fervent halo]

ah

[livid kayak]

but don't worry, you can easily find a system with the sentinel variant, by using NMSGE, for example

[fervent halo]

NMSGE?

found it

[livid kayak]

yeah, you can use the website or their reddit

should be easy enough either way

[fervent halo]

so i should warp between systems 5 times for one to spawn?

[livid kayak]

Just make 4 jumps around the target system, and save before making a 5th to the one with your Dreadnaught

[fervent halo]

why save?

i mean im not looking for a spesific class

[livid kayak]

yeah if you don't want to roll for S class then you don't have to save

[fervent halo]

ah

how do i save?

[livid kayak]

simply exit and re-enter your ship, preferably on a space station. This will create your restoration point

[fervent halo]

ah

ok

[nimble forum]

I met a good player, unfortunately I fell off his corvette during warp and somehow got kicked out of group (maybe internet issue) Is there an option where I can sent friend request?

[fervent halo]

based

should i warp back and fourth between the system i want and the other place im gonna warp to?

or no3

[inland breach]

how would i go about getting an s-class pirate freighter?

[livid kayak]

i'm unsure if it's going to work this way. It's been a while since i've done that. To be sure just warp to different systems near your target, and then make the 5th jump to where the dreadnaught should be.

[fervent halo]

alright

[livid kayak]

You need to own a different freighter, have played for at least 3 hours and did at least 5 warp jumps since your last freighter battle.

[fervent halo]

also what do you mean by a different freighter

like you need to buy a NEW one after owning one?

[inland breach]

well yes i know that

i already have a pirate freighter

how would i get an s-class

seeing as to how freighter classes cant be upgraded

[livid kayak]

you can go to a system which guarantees a pirate freighter battle and try to re-roll it until it's s class.

#nms-questions message

here's one for you

[inland breach]

kk

ty

[livid kayak]

nah, if you already own one, you're good

[minor prism]

my corvette's systems were destroyed after reaching the centre of the galaxy so i summoned my other ship and flew to the station but i can't summon the destroyed one to repair it easier, have i essentially got a bricked ship taking up a slot, or can i get it back to repair?

[nimble forum]

?

[fervent halo]

you can repair it

i forgot how you spawn it

wait

ok

so with the ship you have

fly to a planet

and land

then get a good spot to summon the damaged corvette

[livid kayak]

Yeah but it can't be summoned if it has thruster or pulse damaged

[livid kayak]

try to summon it inside your freighter, perhaps?

if that works, you should be able to repair it

[fervent halo]

it is repairable cause i have done it before

[livid kayak]

You can also try to summon it at the space anomaly, not sure if its going to work, but worth a shot

[fervent halo]

No civilian battles are happening

[livid kayak]

Well, perhaps it's different with corvettes, but you wont be able to do it with a regular ship, so idk

[minor prism]

just keep getting "Starship is critically damaged" no matter where i try

[fervent halo]

ive done it with a corvette

did you try onland?

[minor prism]

yes

[livid kayak]

space anomaly?

[minor prism]

space anomaly wont work too

[livid kayak]

hmm

[minor prism]

will try teleporting back to euclid and trying a station, freighter and anomaly there

[livid kayak]

but if you try to summon it on your freighter, will it at least appear docked outside?

[minor prism]

no

would scrapping my current ship essentieally force it to spawn in the station?

[livid kayak]

Somebody on the reddit said that you can try to build a door that leads outside of your freighter, so you can leave with your jetpack, instead of a space ship, then fly to your docking stations and the corvette should appear

the blue, pulsing beacon

[fervent halo]

@livid kayak not finding any civilian battles

[livid kayak]

if i recall correctly, those recue events should be done at any point on that save, so if you already done 2 of those in the past, you should be good

[fervent halo]

havent done any civilian battles

[minor prism]

still won't appear

[livid kayak]

pirate ships attacking the civilian freighter. That's what you need

[livid kayak]

The guy have said he was flying a bit before it showed up, but it's reddit so i'm not promising anything. I'm just out of ideas

[minor prism]

can't scrap my only other ship too

going back to my base in euclid fixed it

[fervent halo]

@livid kayak still no rescue battles happening

[livid kayak]

Just warp your ship around the galaxy and it will eventually happen. Going for systems with a higher conflict level might help

[fervent halo]

ah okay

[visual hemlock]

I have a interesting question and it would be in the idea of the playing with friends situation, are we going to get larger habs and ship cockpits, also it would be great to get a stairs hab so we can have more stable stairs from one floor to another

[livid kayak]

We don't know, we're all just the regular players here. You can always suggest such things to HG directly tho

[lean oriole]

I forgot how to find one of those symbol portals and what they are even called. The monolith?

[icy wasp]

So... I'm having an incredibly difficult time trying to find a SINGLE gas giant... Checked online, tips are telling me that all I need to do is go into the logs and track a resource I've yet to unlock in my logs, try to track it through a recipe I'm trying to complete (which does nothing), look for a purple system with "Gas Giant" in the description, look for a purple system with a planet that has between 3 and 6 moons orbiting it and that I may have to look through 30ish systems to finally find one.

I've visited 15+ systems, looked at 50+ through the map and all other recomendations failed me. What the heck am I doing wrong?

[lean oriole]

learned so much stuff about the game so fast that I forgot some stuff lol

[livid kayak]

Portals 🙂

!faq-portals

[tulip dust]

@livid kayak Did you mean !Faq-Portal?

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

• Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
• To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
  • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
• A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

[stuck berry]

Have you completed the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" which is required for purple star systems to appear on the galaxy map? #nms-commands message

[frank flame]

Are there any ways to get quicksilver outside of Nexus missions?

[stuck berry]

Not really, outside of a very rare space event

[icy wasp]

Not sure. Been years since the last time I played. But I have an Indium drive and can see purple systems.

[stuck berry]

Indium Drive is unrelated to purple systems

[livid kayak]

yes, you need atlantid drive

[stuck berry]

Even if you had the required Atlantid Drive, you still need to have finished the required mission #nms-commands message for them to appear on the map and be able to be reached via portal

[icy wasp]

Ah

[stuck berry]

Once you have completed it, purple systems that have a Gas Giant will say so on the galaxy map very clearly

Purple systems have their stellar class begin with X or Y, and they appear mostly in the voids between regions of stars

[icy wasp]

You're right. Guess I didn't get it and was mistaking red systems for purple.

[stuck berry]

Follow this guide #nms-commands message to reach the mission to unlock them

[icy wasp]

They look pink-ish to me

Thanks

[livid kayak]

Yeah it's way better to go by their spectral class, instead of trying ot identify the color by the naked eye.
those galaxy nebula effects can mess with the visuals, plus you always might have some galaxy map filter enabled by accident, and getting different colors this way

[stuck berry]

You can also go off of their size somewhat often. Yellow and green are small, blue and red are big, purple vary a lot but are mostly far off between regions

[livid kayak]

yeah, i'll stick to the spectral class, it never fails

[cobalt iron]

is possible take this worm for a pet? .-.

[livid kayak]

easy way to test is to just drop some pellets near them. if they land to eat it, you can tame them

[stuck berry]

No.

[livid kayak]

oh, sorry, it's the one that burries underground, right? You can't tame this one

[stuck berry]

There aren't any worms in NMS that can be adopted without mods

neither flying nor burrowing ones

well, unless the butterfly snake things are considered worms

[cobalt iron]

oh alrgt
