nms-questions

[livid kayak]

or, actually, there might be some bases there, but not uploaded to the server

[thick gull]

True that.

[livid kayak]

You acutally don't need luck, if there's a base, you'll see the icon in your discoveries tab

[thick gull]

Oh really? Will it be the same icon or a person icon ?

[livid kayak]

a base icon and a name, and it should be visible from space when you come close aswell

[thick gull]

So it won't look different than your own icon ?

[livid kayak]

have you done any expeditions yet?

you can observe it there, like when you have a starter system, some players will create their bases there, and when you look at the starter planet in your discoveries tab, you'll see how many bases are there

[nimble nova]

Can i build something like a trade platform, so that NPCs would interact to that platform i built?

[nova zealot]

If you equip the cloaking device on your multitool, destroy the resonator and then immediately turn and run with cloak on. As long as you don't jump, they'll start losing you, and you generally can get far enough away before the cloak runs out for them to not be able to find you anymore

[river radish]

If you build a base outside of the atmosphere, do base parts just randomly disappear? Worked on a base for a couple hours using the build camera from just inside the atmosphere. Half the base is gone.

[nimble nova]

I am working on that too, and i read somewhere that if that happens, it means that is the game's building height limit. Seems it will only allow/support 1000-1050 units above from the base computer

[river radish]

I built the base computer right there. Sky dived from space, placed the computer just below the atmosphere. Then landed on top of it during another skydiver to claim it.

[stuck berry]

This is something that happens when a base is too high, yes

[west sundial]

Are the curious deposits with runaway mold gone? I have not found one system with it in my search for it.

[stuck berry]

Each planet only has one type of 3 star resource, so each planet only has a 1/3 chance of having them

If a planet has Metal Fingers or Sac Venom, it does not have Curious Deposits

[west sundial]

I had a curious deposits near my settlement and with the remnant update it was replaced by gold fingers

[stuck berry]

There was a patch that was supposed to fix this, if your planet still has the wrong one compared to pre-6.20 then that could be a bug

though all of my planets that had curious deposits pre-6.20 still have them

[west sundial]

Oh I see.

[west sundial]

I don’t need them, I was just wondering. I’ll wait until the next release and check it again. Thank you for the input.

[distant torrent]

is it better to put the boltcaster in the supercharged slot or one of the upgrades?

[stuck berry]

Boltcaster

[tired raptor]

Hey does anyone know of a website or app that lets you track what star ship parts you have? Trying to get them all

[trim bridge]

🥹 refuse bolt caster, use neutron cannon

[tired raptor]

Scatter blaster gang.

[trim bridge]

we need a gatling-like multitool weapon (belt fed no reload just dakka)

[quiet locust]

Anyone have some intriguing pets I’m willing to pay quite a lot for eggs

[stiff glen]

are any of these missions actual story missions i cant seem to complete any of them

[thick gull]

Those both look like Mission Board missions to me.

[stiff glen]

what about the top 3

i cant complete them

[stuck berry]

The top 3 are the primary missions, so yeah. The Space Anomaly isn't really a mission though, just a reminder that the Space Anomaly exists

You've fully completed the main story (New Beginnings)

[stiff glen]

i just installed after a while and lowk dont know what to do

the atlas path one ive been doing it has me going to more atlas stations

[stuck berry]

Have you completed the Autophage introduction mission "They Who Returned"? #nms-commands message

[stuck berry]

Yes, you haven't completed it yet. It turns to Atlas Eternal when that happens

[stiff glen]

i dont think i have

[stuck berry]

Then go find a Harmonic Camp and lift it's seal, that's the other requirement for it to begin

Once you've done that, your next warp that isn't interrupted by a freighter battle will begin the mission

[full pollen]

Haven't done the expedition yet. How long do I have left, and am I missing out on anything major if I skip it? How long does it usually take to complete?

[livid kayak]

You've got around 16 days to complete it. You're not missing out on anything major, just some cosmetics.
It usually takes me around 4 hours to complete on a leisure pace and without any pre-planning, but if you're not very experienced with the game it might take you a day or two at the worst.

[broken vessel]

Which one of these gives freighter tech?

[unborn brook]

Option 1

[broken vessel]

thanks ^-^

[unborn brook]

the bulkhead is to expand your freighter tech or cargo slots.

[frail turret]

How do we get to this menu?

[unborn brook]

That menu is available upon completion or semi completion of a derelict freighter mission

its like a reward for finishing.

[frail turret]

and about the tech upgrades, are they different from the ones you get by defeating a pirate dreadnought?

[stuck berry]

No, they are the same kinds

[unborn brook]

the same but probably chosen from different pools

[stuck berry]

All of them can drop from both, though the ones dropped by dreads are always S but the derelict ones are randomly classed but set per-system

so some systems just always give S-Class ones from derelicts etc

[unborn brook]

There are 11 types of settlement buildings you can get a request for ... How many settlement construction opportunities do you get? Can you build them all?

[trim bridge]

how is this brick able to fly with just one nozzle and no wing lol

[tropic ginkgo]

settlement events keep popping up indefinitely so I imagine eventually you can

[unborn brook]

Visitors/disputes/excusions are indefinite ...but not sure about the construction.

[stuck berry]

This is not true for construction opportunities though

[unborn brook]

seems like there is a finite amount of space you are given ...

[tropic ginkgo]

so what's the cap
the settlements definitely have enough room to build

[stuck berry]

probably different for each settlement, as the structure placements are all seeded

eventually you build everything that was set to be built

[unborn brook]

there are 11 different building types, just trying to figure out if you can have them all. If you can't then you may miss out on something you wanted in making the building decisions.

Sidenote; I like that the fishing pond is kind of like a hot tub.

[frail turret]

Does having more than 1 versions of the same building result to a faster production of its respective products?
For example, does having 2 starship docks increase the production rate of starship fuel?
The wiki doesn't offer any clues I think...

[static stirrup]

can anybody help me i just started yesterday want to get rich

[lilac plinth]

It increases the overall productivity. This will be applied to the products you have choose.

[balmy adder]

First finish the tutorial ..

[frail turret]

Ok, thx! I thought productivity was just a decorative number that had to be greater than the maintenance one...

[static stirrup]

the artemis missions?

[drowsy wyvern]

riddle me this fellas

why are there people walking on atoms in open space

[lone dagger]

is there any upgrade for the freighter that lets you use it inv from anywhere in the system

[drowsy wyvern]

idk abt anywhere but i think there is one that lets u access from planets

[lone dagger]

ok do you know the name by any chance

[drowsy wyvern]

i can prob check

1 sec

i think its the matter beam

5 salv frigate modules

[drowsy wyvern]

.

[lilac plinth]

You need to install the matter beam.
You can buy it at the upgrade station on the bridge of your freighter.

[lone dagger]

ok thanks

[lilac plinth]

EVA is possible since the voyager update. What do you mean with the atoms?

[drowsy wyvern]

idk i just tried to describe people walking in space

[lilac plinth]

You can jump out of your freighter or corvette or also from the space station.

[drowsy wyvern]

ahhh

[lilac plinth]

Take oxygen with you

[drowsy wyvern]

will do

[lilac plinth]

Oh and don't forget to try this 😉

[drowsy wyvern]

ive been meaning to

[clever spoke]

hey guys, I got a question for any ps4 players

is the game simply broken on that platform?

I was trying to play with a friend but it was basically unplayable

[lilac plinth]

No. I've been yesterday on the PS 4. But it works definitely smoother on PS5.
Can you describe your problem?

[clever spoke]

This happened yesterday, so I can only recall the things my friend described.
He experienced texture issues at all times. Crosshairs not showing up, no icons at all, menus with weird colors. Crossplay was also broken. He'd connect to us and disappear after 3 minutes

He also experienced multiple crashes and lost of progress

[clever spoke]

but that's still good to know. We were at the impression that HG had just given up on the ps4 💀

I'm playing on pc btw

He is playing on ps4 with physical media. Maybe that's relevant

[rough ridge]

I’m on a planet right now and in the scanner view the biome name is gold/yellow is that special?

[lilac plinth]

This sounds terrible.
Problems like you've described can eventually be solved by restarting and disabling multiplayer. But then he can't join your party.

[clever spoke]

I don't think we've tried that, so it's worth a shot

We did the classics already, like reinstalling, clearing ps4 cache etc

but thanks for the help. Just knowing it's not the whole version that is broken gives me some hope

[lilac plinth]

Sometimes I start NMS on PS4 with the account of my brother and join my own party to help my self base building. That's the only thing I do on PS 4. So I can't say more.

[haughty rose]

please any help appriciated . Need help with mineral hotspot for exploration quest. what to afterhotspot dont see any mineral. missing 4 minerals to scan...

[proper parcel]

how many regular inventory slots in exosuits was it 120?

[frail turret]

120 cargo / 60 tech

[haughty rose]

yeah and 60 for tech

[frail turret]

can't you move to another planet in the system??

[haughty rose]

hi

[frail turret]

(also, hotspots do not reveal unscanned minerals i think)

[haughty rose]

im not sure it take me to this planet to scan but i guess i can look at other planets

[frail turret]

is it an anomaly quest?

[haughty rose]

ohh ok so there hidden only bneed 4 to scan but so hard to find

[frail turret]

or a minor settlement quest?

[haughty rose]

exploration quest where have to find animals plants and minerals

[frail turret]

ah, ok, don't remember about space station quests' limitations... it is true though that some minerals are quite tiny... I guess you have already gone underground to look for minerals...

[haughty rose]

yeah ive gone underground

[quiet rose]

hello hello
so I got a dreadnaught base going on as my 1st goal of the game
and I want to build an exocraft.
do I need a planet based base for it for can I do it with a dreadnaught?

[haughty rose]

says have to look on a pavlopet incondesent planet

[frail turret]

the fast solution would be to plant a save spot, then do a fast trip to another planet in the system. scan the first one you find, then check your counter...

[modern yacht]

yo how do i get a exocraft?

[gray shoal]

U unlock it by sidequest about base expansion or by unlocking it on anomaly

[modern yacht]

im on the anomaly what do i do now?

[lilac plinth]

You don't need a base for having exocrafts.

[gray shoal]

In the back u unlock it where u unlock base parts

[haughty rose]

ok i try that thanks Leftkeh ...

[quiet rose]

yay
so..how do I craft one? I aparently need to go to this place called Anomaly via MSQ?

[frail turret]

You first need to unlock the tech. Take your starship, launch into space, then press X and scroll with the middle mouse button to the left (you will see a round planet thing).

When you select it, a DeathStar-like planet will be summoned

Enter, land, then head to the first floor (there is a ramp front and left from where you land)

when you get to the 1st floor take a left (iirc) turn, then head to a room where there are 4 peoples

One of them (looks like a wildhog - can't remember the name) has the appropriate tech

You will be needing nanites though

[haughty rose]

ok i tried another planet but it wants me to scan from 0 ?

[lilac plinth]

@quiet rose this is for exocraft tech. But you need to unlock the Geobays on the oposite in the same room. This cost you salvage data.

[haughty rose]

confused with this mineral hotspot scanner bs

apart from the main story can i skip all side quests

[lilac plinth]

Look for the small pebbles on the ground and also in caves. In the caves, you can find minimum 2 minerals. Mostly more.

[haughty rose]

ok i give it a go thanls Rusty

[lilac plinth]

The hotspot scanner is for finding mineral deposits. Not for scanning minerals.

[haughty rose]

ohh so maybe i doing it wrong

so scan is for ore not rocks

[lilac plinth]

You have to use the scanner witch let you analyse minerals, flora and fauna.

[haughty rose]

need only 4 minerals to find

yeah but not the mineral scanner right

[lilac plinth]

Exactly. It's the first one you need.

[haughty rose]

ohh no wonder im having a hard time thanks again Rusty

[frail turret]

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to locate any missing minerals/flora (and partially fauna). You really have to roam around the planet and hope to get lucky

[quiet rose]

thank you both

[proper parcel]

ok thansk

[severe crown]

With this item, does the irreparable mean it essentially has no stats and is junk to disassemble?

[river canyon]

Yes

[signal cedar]

Not quite, Irreparable is just an adjective HG picked alongside many others for this low tier of tech upgrades

It has stats as displayed on the item card and it will function once installed in exosuit

It's just so low tier it's not really worth it

[severe crown]

At the moment it is better than anything else I have, so I'll hold on to it for now. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't imagining that the stats were working. 😁

[proper parcel]

oh why i aughta . this dirty mission keeper jsut scammed me. said he give me 25 storm crystals for a job and he gave me a fuel oxidizer instead. imm callin trhe BBB bitches

[frail turret]

Are you sure the reward is from that mission and not some other similar one you have completed?

It can happen if you take similar missions from the space stations...

[hazy berry]

is it possible to get multiple exotics on single system? like when it spawns and you buy it, will another one ever spawn?

[river canyon]

Yes

[proper parcel]

yeah im sure. it was the only active mission. and i haven't done any other ones recently.

[frail turret]

then the only idea I can come up with is if it required 25 storm crystals to give you a fuel oxidiser in return... in which case you would probably have to go to a trading post to deposit the storm crystals...

other than that... sounds like a bug

[proper parcel]

i thinks it probalbly just a bug. kinda funny but quite painful at the same time 25 storm crystals would be a good payday. thats a good long searches worth

[hazy berry]

has anyone else encountered fatal error when trying to use teleporters?

my game just crashed from that

[empty prairie]

no but i got stuck really bad inside a wall

[pure dome]

So i just made a new save file in nms and i selected the expedition mode WHEN I complete the expedition (or it ends) will i be able to do the main story line in that expedition save file i made?

[river canyon]

Yes

[hexed kindle]

is there an upper limit on how infrequent storms can occur? i've been sitting on a moon listed as having blistering floods for a while now

[swift sand]

blistering floods is actually one of the "extreme" weather names for lush, not normal or clear - storms should be frequent. not sure anymore if there's a duration range, possibly. tried to go away and back again maybe, like warping out and back in? where are you seeing "blistering floods" - on the visor, when you're on the planet/moon, and aim it at the sky for example?

[hexed kindle]

yeah i've attempted on multiple separate occasions to get a storm to spawn, but nothing happens for the 10-20 minutes while i remain there and scan stuff on the surface

i've checked and confirmed it's listed as blistering floods on the log and scanner

[swift sand]

mhmm

yeah, not sure what's going on there

[hexed kindle]

is there a possibility that dissonance or another attribute stops storms from happening?

[swift sand]

well, if planet is dissonant and has storms it can probably turn into low grav storms, but that's still a storm, and it wouldnt be using this weather pattern name

in short, if this is some random planet you found somewhere - there really shouldnt be anything stopping its storms

[hexed kindle]

it's a gas giant moon but that definitely can't be it, i've seen storms on others before

[swift sand]

just time

i mean, storm is happening when you're not there or something

[hexed kindle]

are they visible as stormclouds from orbit? if so that may make observatiion a little easier

[swift sand]

if it says blistering floods and certainly doesnt have paradise label on it, then it should be capable of storms

[swift sand]

if there's a storm going on on a planet, you'll see the grey overlay covering the entire planet

[severe crown]

I'll trade your too-infrequent storms for my too-frequent storms. I swear one stops just as the announcement comes in for another.

[hexed kindle]

if you're keen to have a look i can toss you the portal coordinates to see if you have any luck

but in any case thanks for your time and input on this

[swift sand]

anytime

[swift sand]

oh, and, sure, why not

[hexed kindle]

actually one more thing, i just landed and it listed the planet as 'mellow' in the brief pop-up window

[swift sand]

aha

[hexed kindle]

the scanner and log still list as blistering though

[swift sand]

now that's

mellow is a calm weather pattern, no storms

[hexed kindle]

didn't expect the discrepancy though

[swift sand]

in discoveries menu, also listed as blistering floods?

[hexed kindle]

correct, it's only when exiting my ship that i see mellow

[swift sand]

sounding more like a bugged situation here

[hexed kindle]

i'll get the coords to you in just a moment

[swift sand]

sure, feel free to dm

[hexed kindle]

yep i've sent it to you

no rush as i'll be sliding off for now, but do let me know your findings if you pay a visit

[severe crown]

I am getting very tired of my "visited" systems list being spammed by dozens of places I've never been to or heard of and that were discovered by people I don't know and have never met.
I already have multiplayer off. Is there something else I should be doing to prevent this? Is it a bug?

[swift sand]

have you been for example, doing nexus weekend missions? or been running fleet expeditions in an area near the starting rings? we dont really know what to make of it - it seems to be intended. that said, if you are in less populated areas of a galaxy, you shouldnt be so susceptible to this behavior. for example, 800K-600K LY away from the core, all around it like a ring, it's very likely that you're going to be near systems other players have discovered. ofc, being in a galaxy up further up the list will also reduce that probability. that said, not really, nothing you can do to prevent it unless you want to play offline.

[latent lodge]

I haven't got to this part in the progression yet, but asking for a friend: The freighters you can get -- can their class (Like C-S) be increased, or do you have to find them at a specific class?

[sudden apex]

You have to find them at the class you want

[severe crown]

I did run the weekend mission. All these extras may have appeared after that, but I don't think they were there until this morning. I mean, if it is intended, they need to have their own category rather than going into 'visited'.

[swift sand]

agreed

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

[swift sand]

please submit some feedback to the devs when you get a bit of spare time

[latent lodge]

Are there specific Systems or even Galaxies that get closer to the likely-hood of finding or even guaranteeing S-Class finds?

[sudden apex]

Yes the richer ones get them more often

[swift sand]

@latent lodge drop chances per eco tier as @sudden apex mentioned

[severe crown]

Already sent in a note on the 'visited systems' spam the first time it happened. 👍

[clever spoke]

I think I found a solution. Some guy in a post said that if the game update when playing with a disc was 7gb then that's the cause of the issue. The download should be 16gb larger

My friend confirmed to me that this was the case on his ps4, so he'll try to fix it when he gets home

once again thank you for the help 🙏

[amber crow]

I just scrapped a bunch of ships and have tons of ship scrap but the system traders only seem to at best give me a 1.1+ markup on them. Are there any specific system types to sell then most lucratively?

[charred haven]

does a trade surge help?

[swift sand]

nah

[amber crow]

I was just in a trade surge for manufactoring but that also only had a 1+ markup

[swift sand]

trade surge is only for trade commodity type items

[amber crow]

So then what systems should i sell my scapped parts at

Where instead

[swift sand]

any, price you'll get will be random per trade "interaction" (terminal, pilot). personally, i'd not bother much, just sell anywhere i get close to or a little more than what my inventory says they're worth

[amber crow]

Gotchu. Thanks for the help

[main stone]

When this settlement is finally out of debt does the profit go to me? So far it's been a lot of work and resources for what seems like zero gain other than something to do

Like at least the guilds give you stuff

[swift sand]

debt, maintenance, and prod arent coming out of/going in your pocket, no. at best, the way to profit is to have the settlement make valuable items - either in terms of units or in terms of quality of life

[main stone]

Is that something that comes up eventually? Right now they don't seem to be making anything

[quiet rose]

I couldnt find it
is it under utilities or something?

[swift sand]

will produce when not in debt

[main stone]

Soon

[swift sand]

you need to progress main story missions for a bit before you unlock space anomaly. what's the title of your primary mission in the Log that has an eclipsed sun icon?

[quiet rose]

awakenings, find us, hear us

[brazen flame]

what are all the ways to get cargo bulkheads

[swift sand]

keep progressing that, anomaly gets unlocked in the next mission - after that, yes, goto space, open ship quick menu, it'll be right there, not in utilities

[swift sand]

type !faq-inventory in #nms-commands , follow freighter sublink

anything else just ask

[proper lodge]

what type of starship is the best for travelling?

[swift sand]

you mean for warping?

[proper lodge]

warping and travelling between/on planets

[swift sand]

honestly, while there's specializations, for a daily driver, pretty much any ship can do all of it well, and be efficient at it, after techs and upgrades

for example, only explorer can reach max warp range, but who needs 3.4K LY range every time they play anyway?

[analog scroll]

There's not a ton of difference between any ship in the game with traveling between planets

[proper lodge]

alright

thanks

[magic yoke]

Is it useful to check the same sentinel pillar to find royal mt ? or do i need to go to different planet or even system ?

[swift sand]

own and upgrade what you love the looks of, dont worry 🙂

[swift sand]

in short, all you need to do is check 1 pillar per planet, no need to save+reload - not all planets have pillars

when you find a planet with a royal you like, then you can try to find more pillars on that planet to find that same royal in higher class

[near scarab]

Guys i finished all phases and i can finally go back and end expedition, but since I can't return with everything i got, what's the "must to transfer" items?

[magic nebula]

Been trying to get Starship Storage Augmentations. I assume that buying a C-Class ship in the space station and scrapping it will not get me Starship Storage Augmentations.

[swift sand]

you can abuse the transfer mechanic to be able to bring back more than 8+24

in short, interact with terminus, put items in, back out don't finish - save, pause/options/return to primary, take items, save, resume expedition : rinse and repeat

[near scarab]

Thabk you omg haha

[swift sand]

depends on the ship seed - some c-class ships might always drop 1 when scrapped

!faq-storageaugments @magic nebula

[tulip dust]

@magic nebula
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Storage Augmentation Drop Rates**

Scrapping a ship at the Starship Outfitting Station in a Space Station (7) has a chance to drop Storage Augmentation modules.

See: Image Drop Chances »

Living Ships can not be scrapped.

Tips

• The amount of storage augmentation modules that drops is fixed to ship class and seed (the looks and name of the ship are also fixed to a ship's seed). It is not affected by how many (usable) slots the ship has.
• Therefore, when buying ships to scrap, buy Exotics, or low inventory A / S class Explorers, Fighters and Solars, as they're less expensive.
• If a ship drops [X] number of storage augmentation modules, obtaining and scrapping more copies of the exact same ship -- in the same system, with the same class, ship name, etc. -- will drop the same [X] number of augments.
• To help you farm augments, keep a log of which ships have a higher augment drop number when scrapped - see example »

Contributors: Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

@magic nebula type !faq-inventory in #nms-commands , follow starship header sublink for more storage aug drop sources

[placid radish]

can someone tell how can i do the old expedtion pls

[near scarab]

Old expedition?

[analog scroll]

Pin in #nms-modding

[placid radish]

yeah like probably everyone the 12th

[swift sand]

what tyndall said, see <#nms-modding message>; only on pc

[placid radish]

pin ?

[analog scroll]

Yes, the pinned message

[placid radish]

the problem is i don't know how can i stop being offline ?

[analog scroll]

Once you finish the expedition, you can turn Steam back to online mode

[placid radish]

ok

[analog scroll]

As far as I am aware, you cannot run old expeditions in a group

[main stone]

Delicate Flora and Biological Samples have no uses other than selling? Are they ever donated anywhere?

[modern token]

guys this might be a dumb question but can you grab laylaps with gravitino coil 🥹 i'm pretty sure you can with normal sentinel drones

[shrewd jolt]

No I've tried lol

[empty prairie]

hello what is food used for ?

[main stone]

if you eat it w/ a nutrient ingestor you get a buff. you can also give it to the chef guy in the anomaly for nanites i think

[amber crow]

Do i need to install all 3 hypedrives or can i just install the s tier one and land on all types of systems?

[main stone]

The best one let's you land on lower tier ones

[vital estuary]

The highest ranked one is all you need, others give a bit of extra range but that is it.

[amber crow]

Thanks

[cosmic verge]

How do i get the atlas parts?

[vital estuary]

That was expedition 20, on normal mode someone can trade them to you.
(They are crafted).

[shrewd jolt]

Sit in the anomaly for a while someone might give you a bunch lol

[cosmic verge]

I have the creative with the settings that i can switch

[shrewd jolt]

They were expedition exclusives so you had to have done it to access them
If youre on pc theres a tool to let you run old expeditions

[cosmic verge]

Sadly im a ps5 player

[visual ocean]

am i stupid and dont understand the stellar extractors or do they just not work properly?
From what i understand they should passively produce a resource depending on the star color of the system your freighter is in... But I rarely ever see them produce anything (the most i got from them was like 16 Chromatic Metal and 6 Methane). Do they not work while logged out? Do they void any items generated inside of them when jumping to another system? So far I feel like they are just a waste of time and resources.

[shrewd jolt]

I found a reddit post that said you have to open each extractor for them to generate items

[visual ocean]

wdym

[shrewd jolt]

I dont know lol

[visual ocean]

[modern token]

NOOO i wanted to pretend like he was wheatley portal 😢

[grim prawn]

Would anyone know why my artemis quest line is glitched? I've tried speaking to nada a couple times a day for the last few days and it won't advance the quest line...

[vital estuary]

They are kind of odd.
Sometimes id check on them and they had been collecting for a while and one slot was full, other times I came back and they were empty. They should be holding onto resources when you warp, or at least mine did.

[visual ocean]

yea like i launched today and they were all empty

[vital estuary]

Ive even had a couple that had things in and the rest empty.
Mine were all in one side in the freighter base

[empty prairie]

[celest rivet]

Does anyone have something I can sell for some units

[distant torrent]

hi, yesterday i found one of those vy'keen observation towers that led me to a ruin on the other side of the planet, is there a way to locate the tower i had found and saved at before?

[livid kayak]

Probably not, unless you've put some kind of marker there, a beacon, or a base, but there's a lot of those structures on the planet. They are pretty common so you'll find a duplicate soon enough.
and if you want to locate some ruins again, you can use the Artifact Chart, which can be purchased from the Space Station Cartographer

[distant torrent]

yeah i was just hoping i could get back to that place quickly to try and upgrade what i got from the ruin. i'll find another ^^

[livid kayak]

What exactly do you want to upgrade, by the way?

[distant torrent]

there's a station that accepts things from ruins, i assume it upgrades them in some way. sometimes relics can be worth millions of credits and sometimes barely 100k

[quiet rose]

I got it XD
so I got to the place and I was wondering in order to place down the exocraft, do I need to make the geobay and the summoning stations somewhere?
I dont have a planetary base (I rushed a dreadnaught cause I liked the idea better) so I was wondering how it works with me case

[livid kayak]

wait, are you talking about the planetary archive?

[distant torrent]

maybe? very tall building with an envoy and lots of other npcs

hard to keep track of all the building names

[livid kayak]

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

this one, right?

[distant torrent]

yeah

[river canyon]

You don't need a base, but you do need to plop down at least one of each of the Exocraft geobays somewhere so you can summon them

As in, you can build them in your current system and never build them again - no need to do again in another system

[quiet rose]

plop it down on a planet or would my dreadnaught/frigate work too?

[river canyon]

A planet

[quiet rose]

gotchaaa

mmmm if I want to build a base on a planet, what should I be looking for?
I think I want a settlement right?

[livid kayak]

Ah, ok 🙂 You can use a Chart for inhibited outpost (red house icon) to try and find it then, again bought from the cartographer at the space station.
Make sure to buy a couple of them, because they can locate a couple of things, not only the Archive

[distant torrent]

yeah i've used those before. bit annoying how random they can be but i see their use

[livid kayak]

and by the way, the artifact exchange terminal isn't always going to "upgrade" your items. It's RNG i belive.

[distant torrent]

gotcha

[livid kayak]

next time, when you find something that you wanna come back to, make sure to drop a save beacon there, or even better yet, a base computer.
Base comp will allow you to teleport back to that spot from any, regular space station tp

[distant torrent]

i do want to establish a base here eventually cuz its my first paradise planet

even has runaway mould so i definitely want to be coming back here at times

good tip about save beacons tho i will keep that in mind

[livid kayak]

Yeah, you can have only one base per planet, but 5 save beacons, if i recall correctly, so they're a good way of marking some points of interest.
When you place it, you'll have a permanent marker on that planet

[distant torrent]

cool

[brazen flame]

what does a myth beacon do

[livid kayak]

Currently nothing. It was used in the second expedition, but right now it's just a curiosity

[brazen flame]

ah okay

[proper lodge]

what reconstructed drone can do?

[swift sand]

mostly just a companion, but it can shoot at aggro'd sentinels

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[marble lagoon]

I bought nms for pc on steam can i cross save with console still and get my saves tbat are on xbox

[swift sand]

when save versions match across those two platforms, yes, you'd be able to easily cross save

a save can have its save version upgraded, but not downgraded

[marble lagoon]

Ah so i can move it to pc, but cant move it to xbox

[swift sand]

right now you can, since both are on 4208 save version. side note, also see https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

[marble lagoon]

I will be doiing tbat then, i want planets to look theie best with hdr and better fps

[livid kayak]

the accuracy or frequency of shots of your squadron pilots must have been upgraded form what i can see. Probably afeter the beacon update, right?

[proper lodge]

what gravitino coil do?

[livid kayak]

it's basically a gravity gun from HL

[proper lodge]

but what the point of that?

[livid kayak]

You can use it to collect the waste or playing around with other, physic based objects

[swift sand]

sorry, dont have any for quite a while, but i do remember someone saying something like this yeah. not sure though

[proper lodge]

and what waste gives?

[main stone]

Does traveling ~600u away cause vendor stock to refresh or do i need to save/reload?

[swift sand]

used for colossus customization parts unlocks

[swift sand]

only upgrade module shop vendors will regen their stock on save+reload

[main stone]

I'm at one of these planetary structures that has a guy selling 5x salvage data. There's a save beacon right here, I can save and restore, load up on me salvage data. But the load time is kind of a bummer.

So I wondered if I did one of those short range transporter things to zap 600-800u away and back, if that would cause his stock to refresh

[swift sand]

and save+reload is restocking him? i wasnt aware this would work tbh. i dont think it works based on distance like curious deposits do

[main stone]

Yep, his inventory is refreshing. It's not my base so I can't build the transporter anyway, but if it did work I would consider it if I can find another spot

[swift sand]

hmm so there's another player base uploaded there?

[main stone]

Oh yeah the place is swarmed with player bases

[swift sand]

i guess i'll give this a try, but see if i can repro solo

uploaded bases might be messing with it

[livid kayak]

You can bring them to the waste processing plant and gain some additional nanites/resources + the customization parts which bk sent ya

[proper lodge]

How long it takes to complete 1 expedition?

[shrewd jolt]

This one took me maybe 3 hours

[hexed kindle]

depends on how efficiently you play, but 3-4 hours is doable if you play well

other expeditions have been speedrun in less than two if i'm not wrong

[odd saddle]

this expedition varies more i feel since some people get waste heaps 3-5 minutes away from processing plants and some people get waste heaps 15-30 minutes away from plants

(mine were all 15-30 minutes)

[proper lodge]

I'm too bad to understand this yet

[proper lodge]

Perfect, gotta do it tomorrow and get some rewards

[odd saddle]

you’ll know once you start the expedition

this is new to everyone, waste heaps and processing plants were introduced with this expedition

[south tartan]

Has anyone else been having problems with their solar starship not playing its flying animations after being in their save for a set amount of time?

[proper lodge]

I did but after a couple landings it came back to normal

[south tartan]

Do the devs know about it? It's really irritating lol

Only ways I've found to fix it are by either reloading the save, or summoning the starship

[proper lodge]

Idk

[south tartan]

Let's hope so! lol

If someone could send a link in here for where to submit bug reports, that would be fantastic

Lmk how it goes if you try. I am tempted but won't have time for a while

[midnight ledge]

guys i stopped playing this game like over a year ago

now i can't find my quest list.... lmao

help ig

[swift sand]

press escape/options/start button - mission "Log"

[midnight ledge]

oh.

thanks

[tranquil wraith]

What achievement do I have to get specifically to get the colossus caterpillar tracks

[midnight ledge]

oh my god i gotta relearn the game

[swift sand]

see <#nms-questions message>

[midnight ledge]

btw I got the Starborn Phoenix

[tranquil wraith]

Thank you!

[midnight ledge]

is it still a rare ship?

class S

[swift sand]

was a time limited free dlc on steam, so yeah - though it can be gifted between players

[midnight ledge]

nice nice

[swift sand]

personally, i think it's an awesome looking ship 🙂

worth making a build on for sure

[midnight ledge]

yeah i love it sm

was just wondering if I should grind for a new one

[swift sand]

can even build fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail/corvette ship types now, and color customize them - we can have up to 12 active ships, + 18 archived ships once we own a freighter (cant archive corvettes though)

[midnight ledge]

oh wow

guess im gonna have to do some searches and watch some videos before playing then

i literally forgot everything lmao

[distant torrent]

is there any indicator as to which guild is in a given system?

[livid kayak]

Not to my knowledge, you can only be sure that there will be the same guild in an entire galaxy region

[distant torrent]

i don't even know what that means. i've encountered all three at least once and i've only hopped between like four star systems

but it's really fucking stupid that i can't tell which guild is on which station in my list

[livid kayak]

if you need to find a new guild, you need to change the region but you'll never know what you'll get, untill you visit the station.
Hold on, i'll show you a pic

[distant torrent]

yeah that's really dumb

[livid kayak]

yeah it's unfortunate that we don't get more information beforhand, but on the other hand, you can start adding space stations to favorits in the teleporter, and you'll be able to get back to those envoys conveniently next time.
There's only 3 of them, so not too much work.

[pure dome]

So I started the new expedition save and I looked around to find my BROKEn starship but i literally cant find it, I looked at that lil compass and since its broken i cant call it. Anyother ways to find my ship ? 😭

[hexed kindle]

this expedition does not make use of any starship

you're stuck planetside until you complete it

[pure dome]

How do i get to the map guy then

[livid kayak]

You start without a ship in this exp. That's the entire point. It's a trucking sim this time

[pure dome]

The Cartographer*

[livid kayak]

You don't need him, why do you want to get there?

[distant torrent]

i don't think you need to do any of that in expedition...

the point is to just haul shit

[pure dome]

Its in phase 3 tho...

[livid kayak]

Yeah, you need to do it without any maps. Just keep it in the back of your head and as you drive from point to point, keep a lookout for those structures

[pure dome]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

You could also scan for structures that have waypoints using your colossus' exocraft scanner, but you should probably wait until you've finished the other milestones as driving to one could take you very far from the waste structures the later stuff needs you to reach

Drop Pods and Abandoned Buildings have Waypoints, but Trade Outposts and Ancient Structures do not

[pure dome]

Actually forgot I installed the scanner thing

😓

[worldly sage]

I'm trying to place this colossus geobay and it keeps saying no edit permission how do I get edit permission

[marble skiff]

Can other people take your stuff from your base because my.
portable refiner,construction research and biofuel reactor has gone

[stuck berry]

They only can if they are in multiplayer with you, and you have the permissions set for them to do that

[worldly sage]

I've already walked like 2k u away

[stuck berry]

Then try removing the internet connection from your device temporarily, then reloading

[marble skiff]

I’m playing solo on me own because I’m new to the game and I don’t know what I’m doing

[stuck berry]

Then that stuff has no reason to have disappeared

[marble skiff]

Weird ok thank you I’ll just build it again

[worldly sage]

Didn't fix it

[distant torrent]

the amount of jank in this game is... disappointing

[stuck berry]

There is a small issue where non-structural base objects placed very high never re-load, so they seem to have disappeared when you come back

[stuck berry]

So you have disabled internet connection and traveled away from the base you were next to?

[worldly sage]

Yep

Been away from bases

Finally

I can actually place this thing

[south tartan]

I keep getting an error that says it had trouble uploading a video.

It's to help with the bug report

[feral rover]

so umm, is everything bugged with multiplayer? 😭 now we noticed that built base parts are not present for one of us, missing walls, missing pieces of decorations, missing roof

[gray shoal]

Sometimes bases take a while to download and be visible for others

Specialy if they are big

[feral rover]

it's pretty small in terms of base parts and the built area ratio :C anyways, still hoping it will sync, someday

[south tartan]

It says "Try again, or upload another file"

[feral rover]

was about to report another bug but I guess this doesn't count as such then?

[south tartan]

can a mod help please?

[gray shoal]

Imo send it anyways. Give some light to the issue.

None of us here know anything about how HG websites/infrastructure works or why they wouldn't work

[stuck berry]

there is a 50mb limit on individual files, but it should tell you that

i think, i forget

[south tartan]

okay, well a 4 minute video is wayyyy bigger than that.

I guess if they need the video, I'll send it to them if they respond

[stuck berry]

Then either cut it down or use https://8mb.video/ or both preferably

they almost never respond unless something personal is needed or smth

[south tartan]

I'm not gonna be able to cut a gigabyte's worth of video into 50mb lol

[south tartan]

maybe that website will work

[visual ocean]

has anyone experienced a very weird issue when doing a nexus mission requiring to destroy pirate ships? I was doing one while in a group with my gf and every so often i just could not damage some of the pirates. My projectiles still connected, the damage numbers popped up but the pirates were not taking damage. Only my gf was able to destroy them.

Also to my surprise, after the mission, i checked my starship cargo and had only one pirate transponder and like 2 gek statues - thats all. And im pretty fucking sure i killed way more pirate ships than one.

[ember helm]

this server has enough boosts, so its 100 for everyone

[stuck berry]

Yes, but the Hello Games bug report/feedback website has an individual file size limit of 50mb as well as a limit of 5 files per report https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[ember helm]

OH i thought they were talking about uploading files to the discord channel LMAO

[rustic zealot]

MP space fight was many times like that for me in the past.

For the second part I honestly don't even know if pirate responders supposed to be guaranteed or not as I often get less than I kill, but obviously I get other stuff instead of that

[visual ocean]

pluh

[lucid gate]

coz you shooting and your friend's p. ships. game doesnt have good MP, in every group mission

[visual ocean]

a mission designed to be played in MP doesnt work well in MP

crazy

[runic crown]

if i start an expedition on an another save i can play my main save anytime i want right

[wintry jungle]

Guys the game has a story and a guide when i start playing with it?

[stuck berry]

Yes, the tutorial guides you closely on how to do things and the main story that follows it teaches more things

[stuck berry]

Yes, as it would be a fully separate save. Though starting an expedition on your main save doesn't stop you from playing on that main save, you can select "Return to Primary Save" in the options to return at any time, then resume it at the Expedition Terminus.

[runic crown]

oh i didnt know that thanks

thought once you start an expedition you have to finish it to get back

[lucid gate]

none mission is specific made for MP in this game.

[visual ocean]

i mean

isnt nexus' whole premise to be a thing to do with other ppl?

[lucid gate]

not nesserely, imo is made to give to players a daily quest for hard earned items and decos.

as any other single player game has in it.

[visual ocean]

fair enough ig

[jade dock]

-It's started happening more frequently. My system is considered high-end, so there are no issues. It only crashes when I'm online.

It crashes even if we're not doing any missions, even if we're mining on separate planets.

yes, this is the only game.

[late quarry]

Im new to the game and When i try to warp to some galaxies it says "cadmium drive required" how do i get it?

[stuck berry]

You can purchase the blueprint for it from Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, then install it for 250 Chromatic Metal and 3 Wiring Looms

[late quarry]

Thank you so much

[quartz minnow]

How can I find one of these?

[rough thistle]

NMS Coordinate Exchange reddit

[quartz minnow]

What type of ship is it tho?

is it a sentinel or smth like that?

[rough thistle]

Sentinel Flea is what it's commonly referred to as

[quartz minnow]

how do I get a sentinel flea

It looks beautiful

[rustic zealot]

You can even skip the first two drives and go straight for the "last".

You'll need Emeril. Check nexus missions here and there, if one has the task to mine Emeril (or Activated Emeril) the mission will transport you to a system with said material anyway before you'd normally be able to get to such systems and you can just mine some extra for your needs.

It's not a huge skip of chore tbf, but can save some time on the grind. Unless you're in rush, ijn that case it's faster to do the normal progression steps as the nexus mission tasks are rng

[rough thistle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/1rg46n2/black_flea_sentinel_interceptor/

[nova wyvern]

Just keep looking on different dissonant planets

[stuck berry]

Sentinel ships each have a random visual design based on the star system they are found in. Sentinel ships that visually lack most parts are just another variation of those, they aren't their own type of ship or anything

[late quarry]

[stuck berry]

There is a featured base at the Space Anomaly Teleporter that is in Euclid Galaxy, and another one in Eissentam Galaxy

[rough thistle]

If your in perma death I have portals in every galaxy

[quartz minnow]

Yeah but the problem is that when i go back it’s gonna take a shit while to get back to rycempler

[dense sand]

hii, some one know how to obtain the Aeron parts for the corvette, even if i didn't do the expedition

[rough thistle]

leave your frieghter there

[stuck berry]

No it isn't, you can teleport back to any previously constructed bases or visited space stations.

[quartz minnow]

How?

[stuck berry]

Interact with any Teleporter, then select the destination, then select "Teleport"

This is taught to you during the tutorial mission "Awakenings"

[quartz minnow]

Then what?

[stuck berry]

A base does not require a teleporter built at it to be teleported to

neither does your freighter

[stuck berry]

Then teleport back to it when you are done doing things in that other galaxy

[rough thistle]

I wouldn't count on that, lost all my stations and planet findings when I jumped back to Euclid, only my bases were in my list. No stations anywhere and had to rediscover all the minerals and fauna again

[quartz minnow]

How?

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is a bug with the current version of the game. It should be fixed eventually

[quartz minnow]

I didn’t do the teleporter tutorial thingy

[stuck berry]

the latter part is normal discovery pushing out/pruning

[stuck berry]

First, do you have a base that is built in Rycempler Galaxy?

[quartz minnow]

nope

I have my freighter tho

[stuck berry]

Land on any planet and construct a Base Computer, then interact with it and select Claim Base

[quartz minnow]

ok

[rough thistle]

teleporter, something you build in your base or use on a space statiuon--- Portal, a structure you use to get to new planets with Glyphs

[stuck berry]

This will allow you to teleport back to this galaxy no matter what, even if you accidentally summon your freighter in a different galaxy

[quartz minnow]

oh the portals?

[stuck berry]

Teleporters

[quartz minnow]

Like the one in the space anomaly?

[stuck berry]

There is one aboard every Space Station, as well as the Space Anomaly

[rough thistle]

you can always use a teleporter to return to any base you have placed anytime

[stuck berry]

Interacting with one allows you to see a menu of every base you have built, as well as the last ~70 space stations you have landed at. Selecting one and selecting "Warp to (name)" will teleport you to that destination

[quartz minnow]

With

Aight

I will try

[winter phoenix]

Surely there's no way someone can make it to Rycempler without even learning about space stations and teleporters

[quartz minnow]

Ik about teleported

I just didn’t know how to to to YOUR base

[winter phoenix]

You don't even need a base. You can teleport to any recent space station you visited too. No matter which galaxy they are in

[quartz minnow]

Do you have one of these that has like a red eye thingy and the rest is entirely black?

[stuck berry]

At best I have this

[rough thistle]

I just search the coordinate exchange, I personally have not found any cool sentinel ships yet

[proper lodge]

Is it better to do expedition alone or with people and what is the best exocraft overall?

[proper lodge]

Oh and also how to get sentinel skin on minotaur?

[stuck berry]

By progressing the mission "A Trace of Metal" which eventually begins from progressing your settlement

[main stone]

My settlement is super dark at night. I have my base overlapped with it so that I can build stuff here and there, and I'd like to provide lighting. I tried the basic lamp post, and the basic pill-shaped lights, and they basically don't provide any light. Is there something that's like a bright street light that I can install periodically to actually provide some light?

[keen wigeon]

Ack, what dif i do wrong?
Moved my base, completed atlas mission for the first time.. now most if my base workers except the agriculture guy will not talk to me

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks also does it gives me minotaur for free(or almost free) or i still have to do all the steps as before?

[stuck berry]

Probably alone, to avoid bugs. And each Exocraft has very fundamentally different handling/use cases. The roamer and pilgrim are very standard and can be made to be very fast, but cannot swim and you must exit them to collect things. The nomad is similar but can drive on water and is much lighter. The minotaur is a bit janky but can pick things up without getting out, has built-in hazard protection and may be more consistent to pilot around than a bouncy car. The Nautilon is a submarine.

[swift sand]

try this one, also barnacle decoration from quicksilver shop

[stuck berry]

I think it gives the Minotaur Geobay bueprint for free if you do not already own it's blueprint, but I am not sure

[swift sand]

even after making sure their mission was selected? did you try to delete their terminals, save+reload then rebuild and interact to respawn them?

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[swift sand]

it should yes

[keen wigeon]

Ive done everything that has been suggestef to fix them...

[proper lodge]

What is the best way to get salvaged frigate module?

[stuck berry]

Probably via these three main ways #nms-questions message

[swift sand]

when you say atlas mission, did you mean atlas path? or as i was assuming, the artemis path? that gets you to a diff galaxy, well, depending on choice? and had you completed the base crew missions already? have you tried just going back to euclid galaxy, and trying with a base there?

[proper lodge]

In which star color do derelict freighters spawn the most? Red, green or blue?

[stuck berry]

"The most"?

The ones referred to in the post only spawn via player action, by using an Emegrency Signal Scanner

[proper lodge]

English not my first language so it's the only thing i could remember

[stuck berry]

You purchase Emergency Signal Scanners from the Scrap Dealer aboard Space Stations

Use one, then pulse in space like it directs you to

[proper lodge]

Is scrap dealer that guy under stairs near other guy who buys/sells bones? If so how do i get the currency he needs

[keen wigeon]

Yes atlas path... and i had no missions with workerd when i moved... i went back to the system i first placed a base

Im assuming its the path i took

I put artemis in the simulation and reset atlas

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is the correct person. You just need Units, about 5,000,000 of them on normal mode. The price also increases if you purchase more than one on the same day

[swift sand]

what quest you completed wouldnt really matter- but what you just last said, yes, that's not the atlas path, that's the artemis path. can you goto galaxy map, top left corner below the "minimap", what galaxy are you on atm just to confirm? what galaxy you're on shouldnt matter, but we've seen weird issues with some quests when not in euclid

[quartz minnow]

Welp that’s annoying

[proper lodge]

Ohhh i see now, i just always pressed "buy scrap" button and it said that i need tainted metal

[quartz minnow]

I loaded in and for some reason I was in Euclid

And my freighter is in Euclid

And no bases in rycempler

This game loves me!

[swift sand]

got multiplayer support? get taxied there, use PGSC

[proper lodge]

What is the difference between euclid and rycempler?

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message One of them is a normal galaxy, the other is a lush galaxy
The only difference is biome probabilities in their yellow star systems

[hollow moat]

The only way to get Atlantid MT is to finish They Who Returned mission?

[quartz minnow]

Rycempler is really cool but it’s also far asf away

It’s the 159th galaxy

[stuck berry]

It's impossible to obtain them before completing it

[quartz minnow]

Oh wait I forgot

Pangalactic star cabs exists

[proper lodge]

Galaxy?

You mean star systems?

[stuck berry]

No, Galaxies.

There are 255 galaxies in No Man's Sky.

[swift sand]

when you open galaxy map, those arent galaxies, those are star systems

[stuck berry]

Every player creating a new save starts the game in the first galaxy, Euclid Galaxy, in a random yellow star system ~700,000 LY from the center in a big donut ring

[keen wigeon]

Im in euclid galaxy

[proper lodge]

Well, it's gonna be way longer than i imagined😔

[swift sand]

pick one of the crew members to test right now. select their mission, give it a few seconds, exit mission Log, what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen says you need to do? can you take a screenshot?

[proper lodge]

How rare are "normal" planets?

[keen wigeon]

I have no missions from crew and cant get more cuz they eont talk to me.. except the farmer

[swift sand]

kinda depends on what you consider to be normal, but assuming you mean green grass, blue skies and water, no storms - rare, at the very least uncommon

[proper lodge]

so i won't find a good planet for the base and settlement any time soon

[swift sand]

there's a point where they have nothing for you to do, except farmer, scientist, exocraft technician and overseer, which basically have repeatable missions

[swift sand]

there's plenty of good looking planets from here till then

[keen wigeon]

Only the farmer will talk to me.. the redt pretty much tell me to piss off

[swift sand]

can you post screenshots of these dialogs, what happens when you try talking to them, what do they say etc

[proper lodge]

They look good only from outside, through i found perfect planet once, stepped out into tornado and radioactive anomaly

[swift sand]

well, if it had tornadoes then it was an extreme weather planet, which despite maybe looking good, will not be very pleasant places to live in... well, for many players anyway.

[quartz minnow]

How do I debrief an expedition?

[swift sand]

what i meant was that the more you visit, the more probabilities you have of finding the combos you want

[swift sand]

interact with its fleet command room

[proper lodge]

Isn't it's done by talking with fleet commander?

[keen wigeon]

Overseer and my possible response

[keen wigeon]

And scirnce

[swift sand]

the navigator you mean? nah, to debrief a returned fleet, we interact with fleet command room. to send them on expedition, we talk to navigator

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[swift sand]

so for example, the scientist, you dont have scientific research secondary mission in your log?

[keen wigeon]

No sir

Im just about rdy to start over cuz this is pissing me off.. cuz i know i didnt complete their missions yet

[swift sand]

do you have expanding the base in your Log?

[keen wigeon]

No

[swift sand]

i mean, if none of the following are in your log, then it sounds like you completed all:

• expanding the base
• scientific research
• agricultural research
• weapons research
• exocraft research

[quartz minnow]

Does anyone have a portal they can drop me off at?

I can’t find any and I warped through 12 systems

[swift sand]

!faq-portal @quartz minnow

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

[swift sand]

portal is easy to find

follow the steps

details in the sublinks

[keen wigeon]

I know id didnt complete them cuz farmer still has stuff for me.. and exocraft guy had a misdion that i didnt take because i moved my bade

Now he wont give me the mission but farmer is more then happy to give me missions

[quartz minnow]

Ik how to find a portal

I just literally can’t

Not a single monolith

[swift sand]

rule of thumb: every planet has a portal

[quartz minnow]

Went through 20+ planets

[swift sand]

pick your poison, follow to the letter

[swift sand]

do you have any other base where you've built their terminals at? where are these terminals built at? at a planet base, or a freighter base?

[keen wigeon]

No.. judt the first one and current one..

But i deleted terminals before i moved and plaved at current base

[swift sand]

so their terminals are only built at one of the bases, correct?

[keen wigeon]

Yup

Im totally stumped

Must be glitched

Im just gonna start a new game.. and just. Not build a base til i find a planet i like 🤣😂

[main stone]

Well I just tried this with driving 800u and back and the stock did not refresh. But dropping a save beacon and reloading, does refresh

[swift sand]

what platform are you on? if pc, are you using any mods? sounds like it might be bugged if not, i just tried interacting with my scientist whom i've completed the quest for, and he does have the usual proper interaction. i'd suggest raising a bug report, and submitting your save files attached to it. also, if you're on pc, if you'd like we could probably take a look at your save file, see if we can figure something out for a fix.

[keen wigeon]

I am on pc but playing thru xbox app.... no mods

Im not gonna go thru with dave files.. ill submit report and start new game

[swift sand]

yeah i understand, thanks for submitting the bug report anyway 🙂 was it an old save file? or a recent one?

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[keen wigeon]

Recent..cuz i stopped playing so i didnt rememebrr what i was doing 😂

[swift sand]

was it a minor settlement or a planetary archive shop vendor (components/products/blueprints)?

@main stone oh wow - can confirm, it is indeed restocking on save+reload

[icy wasp]

So, I'm relatively new to the game (been off for years and just came back to it). I built myself a great Corvette ship, but I can't help but notice that there are parts on other people's ships that I don't have access to. Anyone mind helping me out in getting them?

[stuck berry]

There's the expedition-specific modules, which are only the Aeron modules and the Deadeye Cannon so far. You could ask for someone to give/trade you them in #nms-lfg-or-trades, people who have the blueprint can make them endlessly

All other modules can be earned from mining Salvage Containers on worlds that list Salvageable Scrap as a resource and/or traded for at the terminal using other modules from that full list

(except for a few at the bottom of the build menu that are unobtainable but unimportant)

[main stone]

I tested at a technology vendor at a planetary archive that offered components and blueprints I think

[icy wasp]

I see, I'll ask in there then. I already did some salvaging on planets and got myself all the parts I wanted that aren't straight up sold at a station's normal shop. Those event parts are probably the only ones I don't have, and I do want to use them to start making my ships look good instead of just being good. XD

[swift sand]

same here yeah. i expect the same is going to be true with minor settlement vendor (same npc basically), but i dont expect this to be intended

[shrewd jolt]

if you're on pc you can run expedition 20 using a mod and unlock the parts permanently

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is true #nms-questions message

[eager storm]

What’s the going value of these so I can try and save up?

[swift sand]

no real value, people just give them away

[winter phoenix]

Noone needs anything anymore. They are either free or not at all

[swift sand]

nms community is so generous

[winter phoenix]

Perhaps it might be accurate to say that the price is politeness and a cheerful attitude

[swift sand]

i agree

[lofty dirge]

how does ||autophage|| settlements differ from regular settlements?

[swift sand]

building aesthetics and products they can produce

e.g. autophage is the only one that can make rad shards or inverted mirrors

[winter phoenix]

Not much, but they can produce all those purple crystals

[swift sand]

(also warp hypercore)

[lost jay]

I found this amazing planet i want to build a base in. But in just over an hour i've been attack by pirates, a giant underground insect, and there are sentinels scanning everything.

Will it ever chill?

[eager storm]

Ok thanks I’m really new to the game only have like 70 hours in but I haven’t tried playing yet with others.

[stuck berry]

The pirates attacking is tied to the conflict level of the system, and the insects are tied to their grubs on the surface so ignoring those makes them never appear

Sentinels scanning everything also really isn't an issue unless you're actively mining using your mining beam, in which you can just run away if one's near and mine somewhere else

[lost jay]

Can I somehow get rid of the pirates like lowering the conflict level

[stuck berry]

No. At best, you could reduce space combat in the difficulty options I think

or find a planet in a star system that has a lower conflict level

[lost jay]

Thanks

[stuck berry]

Also, the pirate attacks should only happen at specific structures on planets, or when they scan you in space, with the former being somewhat rare

[thick haven]

So I feel like the Anomaly research stations (and, indeed, a lot of the QoL updates that have happened over the years) undermine a lot of the progression of the game for a first-time player by virtue of having everything available to buy right from the start. I'm trying to play the game without using any of it, seeing how viable that is as a playstyle. My question is: Is there any alternative source of starship research? Because I'm stuck behind the Cadmium drive, I can't make it without the blueprint and it's not very well documented where you could source it from without the Anomaly.

[stuck berry]

I think the main story might teach you it, or it just points you to Iteration: Hyperion. If you just need Cadmium, go install then dismantle some low class upgrade modules.

[thick haven]

It does just point you to Hyperion.

And I think there must have been an alternative source before the update that introduced the Anomaly.

[stuck berry]

You can also get Emeril from weird buried caches on planets I've heard

[thick haven]

Cadmium drive just takes chromatic and wiring looms.

It'd be kind of silly to need higher-tier elements to make the item you need to go get those elements.

[stuck berry]

Yes, just that the step of the main story should be skippable if you already have Cadmium via any other means if I recall

[thick haven]

Ah.

[stuck berry]

that's how it goes in creative mode/crafting = free at least

[thick haven]

Now that I think about it, I do just need it for the key item. But if I skip it, then the game's going to assume I can already travel to red stars since clearly I already have cadmium.

I think I just have to buy it at the anomaly, some quick research seems to indicate that's basically the only source for the blueprint.

[stuck berry]

Not really, though mission objectives kinda pick stars at random and can sometimes point you to blue star systems early on rarely

you could install the freighter versions of those drives at the very least to enable you to reach them at all

but that is a lot of salvaged frigate modules

[thick haven]

That's a good point. I'm trying to rely on my frigate more anyways, instead of just building a corvette that solves basically all my problems with no real cost.

[stuck berry]

and I think each requires their own metal, not the prior one

[thick haven]

I was really hoping that the base building questlines would eventually open up a lot of the tech trees by doing their quests.

And to some extent it does, but it seems to just be about dipping your toes into each different style of gameplay. Agriculture, crafting scientific components, that sort of thing.

It still seems to expect you do do all your unlocking at the anomaly.

[stuck berry]

Oh also, a rare Korvax language practice interaction gives you the blueprint for the Emeril Drive allegedly

[thick haven]

...Oh, right, those exist. I should probably start trying that out now that I've got a decent grasp on languages.

Thanks for your help.

[lofty dirge]

if I use the chart to find a settlement in a vy'keen system for example, is it guaranteed to be a vy'keen settlement?

[thick haven]

Yup, didn't even think of the language practice as a source for blueprints - I just got Geology Cannon off of a Vykeen.

That's almost certainly where I'm going to get my cadmium drive blueprint. Eventually.

[swift sand]

if you use a regular settlement chart, yes

[supple flare]

Is there a way to see communication stations on a planet via hud or compass?

[lapis gull]

Does anyone know why the globe gadget thingy isn't working

I place it down and it's only the small disk on the bottom

[supple flare]

I remember you being able to see communication stations as a hud marker in the past, why can’t I see them now?

[lapis gull]

U mean how when u scan for a trade outpost it pops up on your screen

Like that?

[supple flare]

I remember these comms stations doing this:

[winter wolf]

they do

[lapis gull]

Ohh MB I forgot what a com station is

[supple flare]

(Not a photo of mine but it shows what I mean)

[lapis gull]

I think it's a range thing but yeah Ive had the same thing happen

[supple flare]

I put one down on a gas giant to mark a great picture location but I’ve been unable to find it again

[stuck berry]

Yes, their position isn't shown to the player that placed them. In the future, use Save Beacons or Claimed Base Computers instead

[supple flare]

Ohh, good to know

I put that down on the gas giant so other people can find the photo spot and I guess I succeeded in that part

I guess I’m not going to be able to go back there on my own anymore

[winter wolf]

both a save beacon or a claimed base computer would both accomplish that. save beacons are only available to the player that built them, unless part of an uploaded base, and base computers are only visible to other players if you uplaod the base

[stuck berry]

You could have another player reach it and follow them there at least

[supple flare]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, just need to find someone to join me

[winter wolf]

could ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[main stone]

Is a starport a building project that my settlement will eventually ask me to select? Or is one of these buildings already at starport and I just need to upgrade it?

I'm assuming that since I don't see anywhere to land a ship, it does not have a star port

[winter wolf]

they will eventually ask for a landing pad

when you teleport into the settlement, wherever your ship is landed is where the landing pad will be

[main stone]

👍

[quartz minnow]

I’m tryna go to a planet via glyphs, can anyone make this out?

It’s super blurry

[winter wolf]

[quartz minnow]

thx

[south tartan]

So I was just gifted an active void egg, how do I use it to find a living starship?

[swift sand]

cant, need a plain void egg, no prefixes

just dump that

[south tartan]

oh. sad

[quartz minnow]

I’m at an autophage camp, haven’t been at one in about 2 months, how do I locate sentinel ships?

[stiff trout]

i assume some weapons on ships cant be removed?, for example i need one of my corvettes to only fire phase beam and no other weapons, is it possible?

[quartz minnow]

I’m looking for a sentinel flea

[swift sand]

harmonic camp is where you can locate sentinel ship sites, not autophage camps - did you mean harmonic camp instead?

[south tartan]

There's nothing I can do to use it... at all?

[swift sand]

cant take out photon cannon on corvettes

[swift sand]

nope

[stiff trout]

aw

[south tartan]

bruh

I was so excited

[quartz minnow]

I just used a polyphonic core so idk

[swift sand]

hang around the anomaly, sometimes people hand out stacks of them, actually good to use void eggs

[quartz minnow]

Should I get an autophage settlement chart?

[swift sand]

poly core leads to autophage camp - you need to obtain an echo locator, a drop from dissonance resonators (read <#nms-commands message>). to use the echo locator, not all dissonant systems will work - see attached image

echo locator marks harmonic camp

[quartz minnow]

I completed the whole autophage storyline

Plus in stellar multitudes

[swift sand]

ahuh

[quartz minnow]

So I think I have it

[swift sand]

no, echo locator isnt' a tech

@quartz minnow ever seen dissonance resonators on dissonant planets?

[quartz minnow]

Ah fuck I gotta do this again

[swift sand]

correct

[quartz minnow]

Is it possible to find a sentinel ship without “locate dissonance spike”

Cause I was going to cords to find one

These cords

[swift sand]

good news is - it's easy, you dont have to kill non echo locator ones (but remember that each sentinel ship needs 3 shards and 1 inv mirror), and you can use the same camp to locate multiple sites if you want

[swift sand]

you could beat corrupted wanted level 5 on a suitable dissonant planet, to get a single sentinel ship site, yes

[quartz minnow]

I’m talking about if I have cords

[swift sand]

well if you got coords, that takes out the hunting on your own/rng part

<:info:850810445577453658> Navigating to known latitude+longitude coordinates

Current latitude and longitude coordinates can be seen in several places:

• On foot, using Analysis Visor;
• On exocraft, lower left of the HUD;
• On ship, below 2000u altitude, using cockpit camera

Tips to navigate to coordinates:

• Compass at top center of the screen provides NSEW icons, they can be used to get to the right coordinates;
• If current position is still too far away from right coordinates, get in ship, align flight path to reach one of the coordinates, fly straight up to space out of the atmosphere, and keeping that flight path as best as possible, pulse drive around the planet for a couple seconds, as if you were in orbit, then drop back down into atmosphere to recheck current coordinates. With practice, you'll get better at guessing just how much time you'll need to pulse drive for, while initially you'll rely more on short pulse drive trips, rechecking coordinates more often before reaching destination.

Note: Often players will upload a base near the shared location; check local space station teleporter.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[quartz minnow]

But is it possible to get it or do I need to do something to claim it

[swift sand]

no, you can just travel there using latitude and longitude

or perhaps even an uploaded base from another player

see the post above from gunter

if you had said at the beginning, "how do i go to specific coordinates" - this would have been faster 😄

sorry if that was the intention all along, i didnt catch that

[south tartan]

bro someone just gave me 10 fusion ignitors and 1 dream aerial

156mil in units for the ignitors

what's the dream aerial for?

[swift sand]

living frigate - it should have triggered a secondary mission in your Log to get your first living frigate of that character

[south tartan]

oooooo

[swift sand]

might have to leave the anomaly not sure about that

type !faq-livingfrigate in #nms-commands for more infos on how to get more etc

[south tartan]

I don't have a freighter quite just yet, so it might not trigger until then

[swift sand]

ah, good point!

[south tartan]

lmao my first frigate is gonna be a living frigate xD

[swift sand]

yep yep, makes total sense ofc. dream aerial normally only drops through fleet expeditions

[swift sand]

nah, our first freighter always comes with 1 frigate already

[south tartan]

2nd frigate

[swift sand]

hehe

yeah, forgot about you might not have a freighter yet

good reminder, ty 🙂

[south tartan]

yeah I've been taking it pretty slow

I think the free freighter event triggers once you jump like 4-5 times

[swift sand]

anyways, i guess it's a good one to hold on to, though you'd eventually unlock its blueprint anyway

[south tartan]

and to get a capital freighter you need a freighter to begin with

[south tartan]

still very cool

[lucid gate]

dream aerial can be crafted also as i read...

[south tartan]

I've seen the internet say that wiring looms are craftable lol

[swift sand]

not always. depends on what you've been doing. in short, dont worry about it, and focus on progressing main storyline. if you dont have options/difficulty/space combat set to none, your first freighter rescue battle event will happen pretty soon into it, around the 3rd mission

[swift sand]

yep yep - blueprint unlocked randomly via fleet expeditions

[swift sand]

those arent

[south tartan]

indeed

[swift sand]

but there's easy ways to get them - i like buying+installing+dismantling c-class ship weapon modules

[south tartan]

Yeah I haven't been singling it out

Though, I'll definitely be tryna jump to 3* economy systems to see if I can get a good one

I'll only actually try to get an S-Class for the pirate dreadnought

[lucid gate]

Living Glass ×3 + Solar Mirror ×1 → Dream Aerial

[south tartan]

oh that's not too bad

idk about living glass though

[quartz minnow]

Is there a way to enter cords and turn them into a waypoint?

[lucid gate]

living glass is a bit high price, and not so hard to obtain the mats

[swift sand]

just always exit ship in station before warping out till the next battle triggers.

• capital freighters can only start spawning after completing 2 rescue battle events
• pirate freighters are always free, but can only start spawning after completing 2 rescue battle events and owning a freighter

[south tartan]

Alright I'll definitely note this down

[quartz minnow]

Warp between these two and you’ll get a dreadnought battle every time

That’s how I got my s class dreadnought

[swift sand]

you'll still need the requirements mentioned even if you're using systems that always trigger the battle

[quartz minnow]

Ye

[south tartan]

yeah ofc

[quartz minnow]

Wouldn’t negative just be on the opposite side vertically of the planet?

If your on positive side

[lucid gate]

heheh that was my 1st question when i started the game 4 years ago LOL

[quartz minnow]

lol

[swift sand]

did you check the station teleporter?

[quartz minnow]

This latitude and longitude bullshit is pissing me off rn

[swift sand]

often people upload bases next to higher class sites

makes it a breeze to reach them; if a ship flies away, just save+reload to pop it back on the ground

have multiplayer disabled ofc

[quartz minnow]

This was the ship I’m looking for btw

[south tartan]

negative on the z-axis yeah

idk how the coords in nms work tho

[quartz minnow]

and I have been searching FOR 30 MINUTES because I don’t understand the latitude and longitude

[south tartan]

aww that's adorable

[swift sand]

are you using ship compass and cockpit view to get a coordinate rewadout?

[quartz minnow]

Ship compass?

[south tartan]

latitude is the y-axis and longitude is the x-axis I believe

[swift sand]

well, yes, NSEW

first number, latitude

0 to 90, north

if you're going north, the first number is increasing

did you read <#nms-questions message>? got stuck reading it somewhere, any questions we might be able to clarify?

[quartz minnow]

so north increases the first number

Which one decreases the second one tho?

[swift sand]

if you switch to cockpit view you can see the coord numbers changing real time - going west decreases it iirc

[quartz minnow]

I know I can get there

It’s just gonna take a shit while

[swift sand]

If current position is still too far away from right coordinates, get in ship, align flight path to reach one of the coordinates, fly straight up to space out of the atmosphere, and keeping that flight path as best as possible, pulse drive around the planet for a couple seconds, as if you were in orbit, then drop back down into atmosphere to recheck current coordinates. With practice, you'll get better at guessing just how much time you'll need to pulse drive for, while initially you'll rely more on short pulse drive trips, rechecking coordinates more often before reaching destination.

with practice, you can make that a pretty fast task actually

but go easy on yourself first tries, be patient

[quartz minnow]

I wish I could make waypoints

[swift sand]

if you overshoot, oh well, that's okay, just correct

[quartz minnow]

What do I do if it’s not there?

[swift sand]

@quartz minnow also, often you'll see that as you start approaching the correct coords, you'll see like a comm ball marker, or a base marker - pulse to those, often they mark the spot you want

[swift sand]

if you turned off multiplayer and followed directions right, it should be.

[quartz minnow]

I just disabled multiplayer

do I reload my game or smth?

[swift sand]

shouldnt be a need - but if you get to the exact coords and its not there, just do so, yeah, save+reload restore point

[quartz minnow]

restore point?

Well I know what it is

[swift sand]

what you update when you enter+exit ship for example

[quartz minnow]

But don’t restore points only activate if your ina space station

[tulip dust]

@quartz minnow
-# to view info below, enable embeds

IM GETTING CLOSE

[calm oriole]

Can reliquary planets have settlements?

[swift sand]

yep, shouldnt be a problem if planet and system meets the other requirements

relic aka ruin worlds dont remove npcs so

[calm oriole]

I keep trying to use a map and it just disappears. Doesn’t even do the zoom out scan thing

[swift sand]

yeah, that's sounding like one of the old settlement chart bugs - one of the reasons why we recommend saving before using a chart. intentionally, it should mark a settlement or fail to mark a settlement and not consume the chart+ack that it did fail like a normal chart does. that said, not all planets have settlements either.

[quartz minnow]

I just went back to the start..

[swift sand]

mind elaborating?

[quartz minnow]

I accidentally went back to the autophage camp

Cause my pulse drive locked on

I have the second number right

I just need the first now

How do I get to the first number without changing the other

[swift sand]

basically, you need to travel along the same longitude coordinate

[quartz minnow]

wait hold on

When I got the second part right

I saw a big structure

Like a mechanical tower

[swift sand]

but were you close to the first number?

that doesnt sound like a sentinel ship site

[quartz minnow]

I was 16 away from the first number

[swift sand]

that sounds like a planetary archive

crashed ship sites dont have big tower buildings/structures

just a ship on the ground basically

so again, as you move north or south, inevitably your longitude (second number) will change. try to make small adjustments to direction in a way that second number changes slower, or nothing at all, just the first number changing

once you're close enough, like 2-3 digit close on both coords, just land, and it shouldnt take much on foot to find it (use visor, photo mode)

[quartz minnow]

If I don’t get it by 11:00 I’m giving up

That’s 35 minutes

I’m actually learning the pulse engine thing you said

I’m actually very close

[swift sand]

remember, once you're really close, it might be better to go on foot from there

[quartz minnow]

I’m close enough to walk on foot now

I have the first number correct

And the second number is 1 away

actually i should be able to see it now

[swift sand]

sometimes they're like in valleys, or depressions in terrain, hiding them from line of sight. i sometimes use photo mode as a drone camera, to see if i can find it from above

[quartz minnow]

I see a building

Does that mean anything?

[swift sand]

try using visor to locate unknown building markers as well - but no, sentinel ship site will not have a building as part of it, though there might be other buildings nearby sure

[quartz minnow]

I was going the entire wrong way..

I’m thinking about giving up

can you help a brother out😭

[swift sand]

as i already suggested - did you try going to the space station, use the teleporter, see if there's any uploaded bases? often players upload them to mark sites

[quartz minnow]

but I have multiplayer disabled

[swift sand]

that makes reaching a site really easy

[swift sand]

dont need multiplayer enabled to see uploaded bases

[quartz minnow]

This a dumb ass question but perchance could you add me and lead me to the cords😭

[swift sand]

sorry, i should be going to bed actually

[quartz minnow]

I’m pretty sure it’s on the other side of the planet

[swift sand]

just try what i'm suggesting for a sec

[quartz minnow]

WAIT

maybe I could get a star an there

Can

Can

Cab

idk if their service includes latitude and longitude though but i guess you could try. i mean, but at the very least, if you're giving up on lat+long navigation, then please just go and interact with the station's teleporter first lol

because if you got these coords from a website like nmsce.com or reddit or youtube or something, most likely there's going to be bases there

[quartz minnow]

I’m going to the station rn

I got it from Reddit

Where’s the teleporter in the station?

[swift sand]

in front of the trade terminal

if it's a regular station

[quartz minnow]

HOLY SHIT THERES A SQUID SHIP

[swift sand]

heh, the exotic of the system is a squid? nice

[quartz minnow]

TOU WERE RIGHT

THERE WAS A BASE

YESSS

AN HOUR OF MY LIFE WENT TO WASTE BUT IT WAS WORTH IT

Wait

I went to the base

It’s not there

[swift sand]

save+reload

summon your ship right next to the mark on the ground, hop in and exit it, then reload restore point

that should pop the ship on the ground

[quartz minnow]

oop

I teleported to the base

and then saved plus reload

Will I spawn at the base?

[swift sand]

yep

[quartz minnow]

Nope in the space station

I can always save plus reload again

[swift sand]

if you update your restore point on a planet, then reload that restore point - note, there's 2 save slots, autosave and restore point - it cant ever spawn you at the station

if you enter+exit your ship on a planet, then reload restore point, it's going to respawn you on the planet, right on that same spot

here, it's "exit ship" that is updating restore point

game tells you so when you do, center screen

but say, if you had building permissions, you could for example build a save beacon or a save point and interact with it to updte restore point

[quartz minnow]

He’s beautiful..

Sorry I wasted your time

[swift sand]

nah, never - no need to apologize for anything. happy you got the ship, have fun 🙂

[quartz minnow]

Ima park it in my freighter then go to sleep

[swift sand]

yeah, well deserved rest 🙂

[quartz minnow]

Any name suggestions lol?

[swift sand]

nah, i'll leave it up to you to think about it tomorrow 😄

[quartz minnow]

Ima name it “the bug”

maybe space buggie idk

I got it

Space bug

[rich sand]

Didn't know what channel to ask in but, any idea what's that weird cloud i found? There's nothing around except a weird broken structure waypoint lol

[quartz minnow]

Nebula maybe

Just cosmetic

Doesn’t really do anything

Except for looks of course

[swift sand]

1. the gas cloud is just a nebula, cosmetic only
2. the abandoned building icon, that's just a bug nothing there either

save+reload or warp out and warp back in will make the marker go away

[quartz minnow]

Btw is that an exotic ship?

I think it might be

[swift sand]

it was basically put there by the anomaly, when you exited it

[rich sand]

yeah

[quartz minnow]

Knew it

[rich sand]

Are nebulas a recent addition? i don't remember seeing them before

[swift sand]

nah, they've been in for quite a while now

dont always spawn, in all systems

so maybe that's why

[rich sand]

guess i just don't explore around enough lol
