nms-questions

[swift sand]

well, sometimes gotta wait in space for a bit too

if you're always just pulsing around, they wont spawn in that scenario for example

[quartz minnow]

The amount of control on flying this thing is insane

It’s really fast and feels super fluid

Tmrw ima try and get another squid ship

[dense rock]

I place new building in settlement and there is no terminal

[swift sand]

yeah might be a bug affecting a specific kind of building - what was it, some kind of housing building?

did you try to save+reload?

sorry, i need to logoff, sleep required

[dense rock]

Medium Dwelling

[swift sand]

yeah, that sounds like one of them

unlucky there

i'm not aware of a fix for this one

[quartz minnow]

I’m judging if I wanna go back to rycempler or not

Maybe later

I can always go back to Euclid

[dense rock]

Lowkey problematic thing

Even on scaner not visible

[turbid glacier]

I just started nms on Saturday (loving it so far) do I just follow along the main quests? I did start the expedition to try and get the rewards

[quartz minnow]

Depends

do you just wanna explore

Or do you wanna unlock stuff and have cool ships

[turbid glacier]

A bit of both tbh

I’ve got 1 ship from the website thing so far

[dense rock]

New thing to see xD

I found settlement

With only monolith

No other building's

3 in a row fucked settlement's

What is with this game

I take 2 and there is not even starter house to build

I be fighting with save editor

What I be doing If I be console player

Save destroyed because there is no option to even leave that settlement

[slow pulsar]

For some reason i cant find any outlaw systems, just to recheck you find them by looking for a skull type of icon on the race of the star from the starmap

[tiny dune]

hi where to i find my screenshots from nms

[azure geyser]

That will only show up if you have a conflict scanner

[azure geyser]

Which platform did you get the game in? Steam?

[tiny dune]

yes steam

[azure geyser]

You can see the images from your steam library itself

Like go to the nms tab in your steam library, scroll down a bit

And you'll find them in the right side

[tiny dune]

thank you i found it :)

[stuck berry]

Either a Conflict or Economy Scanner allows you to see the skulls that denote them on systems you haven't visited yet

The Economy Scanner is much easier to install though

[runic dock]

(rtx 5070), dlaa with 2x fg or taa

[slow pulsar]

Ohhh alr thanks a lot

[slow pulsar]

Thx

[lofty dirge]

what

[lofty dirge]

beating the main story leads you to endgame content so I think it's worth beating it at least once

[tiny dune]

how many base computors can i have placed

[stuck berry]

400

[tiny dune]

dayum

[lofty dirge]

per system?

[stuck berry]

400 claimed bases per save

~21,000 base parts per save too
<3,000 per base to be able to upload it

[slow pulsar]

Where can i see the rewards once ive finished the expedition

[lofty dirge]

will it decrease the number if I delete a base?

[stuck berry]

If you delete a base, it's no longer considered for that

[lofty dirge]

so it's no longer counts for the 400 limit?

[stuck berry]

At the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion

[tiny dune]

how do i find a tropical planet?

im in need of some paraffinium

[stuck berry]

You should be able to pin whatever you're trying to make in the log to have it direct you to a world with Paraffinium

[tiny dune]

alright thank you

[stuck berry]

if not, you may also be able to pin Paraffinium itself in the catalogue to make the same guidance appear

[tiny dune]

oh nvm my planet has some

[lofty magnet]

Can I buy more pet slots? If yes, how?

[tiny dune]

yes in space station

[lofty dirge]

you can also refine paraffinium

[tiny dune]

ahhh oh well, i got it now thank you

[stuck berry]

Yes, by hovering over a pet slot and unlocking it. Doing so will cost nanites, each new one costs more up to a max of 20,000 on normal I believe

[lofty dirge]

there's only like 8 tho

[stuck berry]

No, you can unlock up to 18. There are three pages of them

[lofty magnet]

Tysm!

[lofty dirge]

oh really

[azure geyser]

We need more variety for fauna

[finite cave]

should i do ''the purge/reset the simulation'' mission first, or the atlas path first? and does it matter?

am on the last stage for both, new to the game may i add

[winter phoenix]

Doesn't matter, do them in whatever order you feel is more fun or convenient.

[finite cave]

how does it affect my ''save'' and the ''gameplay'' moving past these missions? cuz i have seen alot of ( dont go to the center/ dont reset/ dont this, dont that ) and i feel lost, i dont wanna do something i might regret long term past these missions, how does my choices affect the future?

[winter phoenix]

None of the missions require you to go to the center. One of them has a pretty misleading description, it just wants you to warp a lot. Not to actually get to the center.

[winter phoenix]

There are no permanent consequences of any of these missions beyond just dialogue and unlocking more gameplay. Going to the center (again, not related to any mission) has some bothersome consequences but they're all reversible.

[stuck berry]

You can still do everything after finishing The Purge. When you enter the portal to "reach" the center, you ||get two choices: either reset the simulation or refuse to reset the simulation. Refusing will send you back to a nearby planet and the story will end there. If you choose to reset the simulation, you get to choose which type of galaxy you are next sent to, and when you are sent there all of your exosuit, starship and multi-tool technology is damaged temporarily. Both options count as completing the main story for purposes of later missions, and neither choice locks any possibilities out.||
Completing the main story is a requirement to unlock endgame things like the Autophage and Purple Star Systems #nms-commands message

||Regardless of your choice, you can still reach every galaxy in No Man's Sky via either warping through the cores of each of them to get to the next one, teleporting to bases at the anomaly or joining another player that's at one||

[finite cave]

i see

thanks alot

what about the atlas path?

anything i should know abou it? refuse/ comply?

[finite cave]

cuz this was REALLY helpful

[stuck berry]

Refusing the atlas at the end gives you a different tech that kinda works differently but isn't very important

[finite cave]

which is better?

also reseting the simualtion is better right? ( am thinking about going for the dead planet choice ) i know the green one is the most common but i think the dead space/ planets is more realistic and i kinda had enough of weirdness in the normal system, but since i can jump back and forth i dont see why it could be a bad option, unless am wrong?

[finite cave]

what kind of consequences?

[stuck berry]

All currently installed exosuit, primary starship and primary multi-tool technology becomes damaged

[finite cave]

am really sorry to bother you wiht all these questions, am really thankful for all the help, one last question, reset or not? ( doesnt matter which i chose? for example the dead planets instead of lush/ green everyone goes for, if i do the reset ), and do i comply with atlas or not? ( what do i get for each option? ), so in shorter terms, which options are the best to go for? and why

[stuck berry]

It's all your choice, they aren't really considered better than each other unless you wanna see more lush worlds or more dead worlds or more extremely stormy/aggressive sentinel worlds

Or you could refuse for no tech damage

The atlas path one is even less important, honestly I've never chosen to refuse during it so I haven't gotten a chance to see how the Mark of the Denier is different but it can't be much better or worse than the +1 health of the Star Seed

Honestly: you are stressing about it too much

[finite cave]

my insecure personality and trust issues

xd

[frail turret]

So, I've been going around the planet gathering up industrial waste... but is it my impression only do they actually respawn?

[finite cave]

can someone also explain to me why adjaient super charged slots is far better than random 4 super charged slots?

[finite cave]

sry no idea, new to the game, good questions tho

[frail turret]

It is better because you can focus them on a single ability. For example, at a multitool, you can focus on mining, or scanning etc

[stuck berry]

Because then you can use both the bonus of similar modules being adjacent to each other as well as the bonus of the supercharged slots themselves

[frail turret]

You get both the adjacency bonus and the supercharged bonus at the same time

[stuck berry]

This is mainly if you wish to vastly improve one type of technology and none others. If you wish to have multiple types of things improved at once, layouts that are spread apart are still useful

[finite cave]

oh so SUPER charge one specific thing?

i dont see why i would go for that SUPER one, seems an over kill no?

[frail turret]

There is this concept, for multitools, that you use more than 1, and that you have independent uses for them. For example one is used to scan and mine, another to do combat.

[frail turret]

Not at all

For example, concerning scanning minerals/fauna/flora, If you don't min-max, you will get some couple thousand units per scan. If you min-max, you can easily reach 5-digit rewards... And of course there are overkills where you can get 8 or 9 digit rewards under certain conditions
Though it is easy to gather units in the game, it still makes much difference to gather, say, 100k units after running around a planet, while you can gather 20M by scanning a single creature...

[stuck berry]

It definitely is, you could still achieve all the necessary usefulness with the slots spread apart

[finite cave]

i see

[finite cave]

DAYUM the difference

[amber grove]

Hi chat so I have sum official crew records what’s a better choice to give them to scrap dealer or envoy?

[finite cave]

ok i see, i have ships with over kill super charge 4 back to back slots, but not multi tools, i need to find me some i guess

[finite cave]

scrap dealer for sure

[proper lodge]

How to get to another galaxy?

[amber grove]

can u tell me the quick difference?

[stuck berry]

The scrap dealer gives tainted metal, which can be refined into a bunch of nanites

The envoy just gives race reputation

[amber grove]

guessing give everything to scrap dealer then huh

[finite cave]

for envoy you only rank up, which you can do easily, fast and with other means, and you get nothing in return aside from that, for dealers you cna buy your self some cool ass cosmetics

[finite cave]

that too

[amber grove]

mmm okay thanks

[stuck berry]

By either reaching the center of a galaxy to be sent to the next one, ||finish the main story and choose to reset the simulation||, use the space anomaly teleporter to teleport to other player bases, including featured ones that are in 3 galaxies that aren't Euclid, or join another player via MP that's in a different galaxy (ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades or the starcabs discord #nms-commands message)

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

Is there waste refiners in normal mode?

[charred haven]

Is this good?
Well if you look at this sc layout I can sc different technologies. I this case, I can also slightly focus on one, with two sc layouts.

The best for one technology, is 4 sc generating in very close proximity.

My layout here pretty good, but I cannot make a single technology godlike here.

layouts for multitool have same principle

[stuck berry]

Do you mean waste processing plants on salvageable scrap worlds? Yes, they are not exclusive to any specific gamemode

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks, another question then, what kind of rewards i can get from there?

[stuck berry]

The nanites from processing it, as well as the rewards from achieving the titles

[proper lodge]

Sweet nanites🤤

Is it possible to get cockpit that activates screens to see outside world instead of just transparent glass on corvette or normal starship? Or is it exclusive to sentinel starships?

[amber grove]

how much does nanites clusters give?

[stuck berry]

That is exclusive to sentinel ships, and is just a rendering trick, they still act like glass

[stuck berry]

"Nanite clusters" is just the long name for nanites

A nanite cluster is a nanite

[amber grove]

1 to 1?

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

They are two terms that refer to the same thing, the secondary currency of NMS

Nanite Clusters are Nanites, and Nanites are Nanite Clusters

[amber grove]

bruh i did 750 tainted metal and it was only 750 nanites

[winter phoenix]

Tainted metal is way more valuable as a currency than nanites

Use it to buy things from the dealer

[amber grove]

they don't sell anything i need soo

idk to me not yet ig

[lilac plinth]

With 750 tainted metal, you can buy up to 3 suspicious packages from the dealer and selling the upgrade modules for nanites. This gives you more nanites. And with a bit luck, you will get illegal hazard protection. This is the most expensive one.

[amber grove]

ohh okay

[amber grove]

well till i get sum ima do that thanks

[proper lodge]

do sentinel pillars shut down sentinels on one planet or whole system?

[amber grove]

just the planet

[proper lodge]

sad but why it always shows pillars on other planet instead of the one where i killed walker?

[amber grove]

i have noo idea

sorry

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

oh and also does it shut down them permanently or not?

[amber grove]

until u leave the system but when u come back they will be back on

[proper lodge]

so i can simply teleport back and forth untill i get royal multi tool?

[amber grove]

wym

[proper lodge]

like, i can build base near it, place teleport there, teleport to another system and teleport back

and they will respawn?

[amber grove]

yes

[proper lodge]

good

[safe glade]

are there ways to earn quicksilver besides the missions?

[frail turret]

you can get a few by following the main storyline

[safe glade]

yep already did that, now the missions won't give any quicksilver and I want to get like ~3k, guess waiting for weekends the only option

[old skiff]

Quick silver quests reset daily but the weekend quest rewards a lot more.

[frail turret]

I think you can do up to 3 quicksilver missions per day and as you said, there's the weekend mission with 1800 quicksilver

[safe glade]

I don't get any today, only units/nanites etc

[frail turret]

They haven't reset yet probably

[safe glade]

good to know, will check again later

[frail turret]

small notice: only 1 new quicksilver mission is added daily, that stack up to a max of 3. Thus, if I understand this correctly, one can do up to 7 dailies + 1 weekend / week

[safe glade]

oh and had one more thing to ask, do uncharted systems gets to be charted if I explore everything? or there's not a chance?

[frail turret]

I think you can't explore everything... they are just too many of them

[safe glade]

that's plenty tbh, I need like 2.5k so a week is not that bad

[safe glade]

yeah but do they get to be charted? and get a space station?

[frail turret]

most systems have a space station; there are some who don't, the uninhabited ones

[safe glade]

yeah I meant those ones, do they get one or they're uninhabited forever?

[frail turret]

you can check that from the map option when in space

No, the game isn't dynamic for now. Uninhabited systems remain uninhabited

[safe glade]

got it, thanks!

[amber grove]

whats a good way to get nanites pretty fast

[safe glade]

killing drones works for me, you kill drones, collect shattered glass, it gives you modules when you break the glass with E, each module ranges between 350-480, stacks of 10 gets you 3.5-4.8k, you can farm like 10-20k nanites in 15-20 minutes, just make sure you got plenty of damage in your multitool
other that that inverse mirrors from dissonant systems give you 950 nanites from a 10 stack, you just put them in a refiner, radiant shards 550 per 10 stack, no fighting required

[old skiff]

I just farm mold 🤣

[amber grove]

1 I need nanites to upgrade my tool and 2 idek what the second method is

[safe glade]

so you go to any dissonant planet, you find the one that says dissonance detected, you go around and mine radiant shards, you collect them and put them in a refiner, 10 shards give you 550 nanites

2k is like 5-10 minutes of work

you find these, mine them, put them in a refiner, get nanites cluster, move it to your suit and it adds the nanites automatically, no fighting needed

[amber grove]

Well time to find a planet like that ig

I haven’t found 1 yet

[safe glade]

it's easy, just look for anything purple on the galaxy map that says "Dissonant" at the end, then when you warp there find the planet that says "Dissonance Detected" at the bottom, shards are everywhere so you just land and start mining

[tiny dune]

is there a way to delete a multi tool

[safe glade]

when you put it in the refiner you get 500 per 10 of these, they are very easy to find on these planets

[amber grove]

I can’t

Says I need a different drive

[river canyon]

Some methods there

[digital crane]

Damn how close is that planet in the background

[river canyon]

Yes, go to the Space Anomaly top floor

[tiny dune]

okay thank uou

[river canyon]

same big area as the teleporter, there is a terminal

[tiny dune]

okayy

[safe glade]

it's just because it's a system you can't warp into, find other systems, not all of them require special drive

[amber grove]

Found a system and am doing it rn

[tiny dune]

does my ship get damaged when i go through a black hole

im just gonna send it

[acoustic rock]

I missed the corvette expedition. Do they spawn randomly like any other ship / freighter or are they only in specific areas

[quiet rose]

hello
so my settlement is gone I think?
I went off around the planet to do stuffs and scans and when I came back I do not see my setlement where it used to be at all.
i did see a "hostile something something" msg when I was not too far from my settlement. did it get destroyed?

[lilac plinth]

Fly to the space station and travel to your settlement using the teleporter.

[quiet rose]

okay

also
if I have a freight, and I get another freight/dreadnaught, what happens?

[lilac plinth]

You can build them by your self at any space station. Look for those small Teleporters next to the mission board. You need to salvage the parts on planets.

[frail turret]

You can only have 1 freighter. If you choose an other, you have to ditch your first one. Not sure what happens to your freighter base though; you may have to build it from scratch

[wheat cove]

You can transfer the base parts, but you lose any inventory/tech

[lilac plinth]

You can change it if the new one is better. You can transfer the freighter base and some inventory. But best keep your upgrade modules in your exosuit inventory.

[lilac plinth]

It is possible to transfer inventory until the new freighter is full. But you loos all installed inventory slots.

[quiet rose]

gotchaaaa

[quiet rose]

wait, so if I have inventory/cargo, do I need to empty all of it before getting a new one or else its all lost???

[lilac plinth]

Exactly. You can transfer as much as the new freighter has inventory slots.

[quiet rose]

guh
I guess its time to build chsests on a temp planet 😭

cause I have enough to fill out 3 cargo spaces

[frail turret]

And once you get the hang of it, you will definitely build all 10 you are allowed to

Also, remember you can store at the exocraft

[lilac plinth]

Ah no! Those are safe. You don't have to empty the c containers

[frail turret]

And you can also store at the "Food Container", the "Fishing Rig's Freezer" and at any Starship provided you don't put it in deep storage

[quartz minnow]

Do it

[near scarab]

guys is there a way to fix these kind of issues? there alot of issues with corvette buildings that don't make sense, related to building stuff inside stuff

[quiet rose]

gothca
so its ONLY the actual freight invnetory but not the buildable storage

[lilac plinth]

Storage containers are synchronised with those on planet bases.

[proper lodge]

i scanned 5 out of 6 species but now i have a mission where i need to scan 2 undiscovered species using collosus scanner

what do i do?

[river canyon]

Expedition?

[wheat cove]

If the question is about the expedition, it should complete automatically when all creatures have been scanned and uploaded, regardless of whether the colossus scanner was used or not.

[proper lodge]

yes

[river canyon]

See the message above yours

[river canyon]

Scan the last one, go to the fauna discovery page and upload - it's at the top of the list of fauna

[proper lodge]

oh ALL creatures

[near scarab]

anyone met emergency civilisiation pod ?

cause i just did, i can't find where to land or what to do

do you think that optical drill effect terrain manipulator ??

that +50% bonus rressources?

[gray shoal]

I dont think so.

[near scarab]

you are corect

[proper lodge]

is there atleast one galaxy with all star systems discovered?

[vital estuary]

Even the starter galaxy is estimated to be less than 1% explored.

[proper lodge]

damn

[crystal latch]

can i ask for mission help here? (the atlas path)

[gray shoal]

Aprox 0.0015% since i last counted

[crystal latch]

so, i'm going through the mission img 1, do i keep going until i get more crafting recipes for these "seeds"? img 2

[hexed kindle]

that's correct, you will get more of these as the questline progresses

[crystal latch]

how many do i have to go to?

[hexed kindle]

should have ten in total once you're done

[crystal latch]

thank you btw

[wintry jungle]

ok thank you

[summer nova]

Can i connect two extractors from different bases into 1 storage unit?

[analog scroll]

You can't

Everything has to be contained within one base

[main stone]

Is there a guide to farming? I looked at the faq list and it's not jumping out

[analog scroll]

Farming what?

[main stone]

Livestock

[latent lodge]

I noticed one of the Expeditions has a cool spooky frigate as a reward for when I have a freighter in the main game. Can you earn/obtain one of these multiple times or just the once?

[lilac plinth]

Just ones per save. Unless you can save edit.

[latent lodge]

Alright, thank you for clearing this up. 🙂

[lilac plinth]

I saw a picture of a freighter with 30 ship of the damned 😅

[lone dagger]

how do i find a ballast tank (corvette part) because i cant find it in the buy menu for corvette part or trading corvette part menus can sm explain how to get it#

[lilac plinth]

The easiest and fastest way is switch to creative mode, build as many you need and then switch back to normal mode.

[lone dagger]

i dont wanna cheat tho

[lilac plinth]

Then double check if its really not buyable. If it's so, you have to find it on a planet.
Or you can ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[analog scroll]

Ballast Tank, as of 5 months ago, is only available in Creative for some reason

[lone dagger]

damn its the last part i need for my build

[quaint stag]

I have a problem! I have a settlement and I selected a building to start construction on, the problem is the new building site spawned inside this giant plant that can’t be mined or destroyed and you can walk into/through it so I can’t get to the building panel to do the construction 😡 so wtf do I do? Ps my last save point was literally after I selected the building to construct

[proper parcel]

twice now ive destroyewd a pirate freigter and then borded the regular one only to comeback out and it says its underatack by pirate freighter but none is around. pirate fighters are around but not the freighter. confused. this just a bug? what i do just leave?

[bitter crypt]

huh, strange

[latent lodge]

Shew. I want it, and I've been modding technically by accessing the other expeditions, but I feel like I don't want to go that far. xD

Zooming via melee jetpack tech count towards travel milestones?

@analog scroll

[main stone]

Livestock. I've unlocked the base components for harvesting but i don't know how the animal part works, if i need to build a pen and somehow trap animals in it or what

[analog scroll]

There's at least 1 cube window base part like that too

[analog scroll]

Build the feeder and harvester, fill both with what they require, wait. Fauna only appear when you're around, so it will not function if you are outside render distance

[proper parcel]

somehow i have two systems with a waypoint in my visited systems list.wierd

[sharp delta]

if anyone else ends up needing them also hmu

[swift sand]

see <#nms-questions message> @sharp delta

[untold cove]

how does one plant something in a hydrponic tray?

[swift sand]

through your build menu

need plant bps unlocked ofc

[untold cove]

bps?

[sharp delta]

??

[swift sand]

blueprints, sorry

[untold cove]

ooh

where to get plant bps? lol

[swift sand]

ah sorry, seems that i misunderstood, you were offering to give them some

[swift sand]

either for free from agricultural research secondary mission, or with salvaged data from anomaly construction research station

[sharp delta]

ye i was and anyone else that cant get them or any other parts lmk

[untold cove]

thank you very much

[raven stone]

So I’ve finally gotten to play the new expedition, and I can’t complete certain objectives lile reach the first checkpoint or transport five special waist items. I’ve done so twice and it’s not completing the objective for me

And I have turned multiplayer off too

If anyone could help me figure out why I’m having completion issues that would be great-

[analog scroll]

Make sure you're not running any mods, and make sure that you're following exactly what the mission tooltip tells you to do

[raven stone]

I am

And when you mean mods you mean in the truck itself?

[modern yacht]

yo im having trouble getting the first 2 portal glyphs can sum1 help me

[analog scroll]

Game mods

[raven stone]

Oh I don’t have any of those installed

[analog scroll]

You can get them all by completing the story

[modern yacht]

i just started the story💀

[analog scroll]

The story is required for Autophage content or to access purple systems

[raven stone]

I don’t have any game mods installed, and my multiplayer is turned off, and I’m following the tool tip to the letter

[modern yacht]

im using creative

[analog scroll]

Does not matter, missions are still required

But if you're using creative, you already know all of the glyphs

[modern yacht]

u sure? i have purple systems

[modern yacht]

i was just at a portal i can promise u i have no glyphs

[raven stone]

For the first waste heap I visited, it didn’t count it as the first checkpoint. But I’ve traveled quite a bit and I can’t find any other waste heaps

[analog scroll]

You can't access them without the mission, even in creative. Stellar class X and Y

[modern yacht]

ive been to multiple purple systems gng ur tweakin

[raven stone]

Oof

For the first waste heap I visited, it didn’t count it as the first checkpoint. But I’ve traveled quite a bit and I can’t find any other waste heaps

[proper lodge]

how to transfer items from expedition save on main save?

[near scarab]

using that terminus

[near scarab]

but you have to finish all expiditon

[proper lodge]

it says "begin new expedition"

or do i need to use it on expedition save?

[raven stone]

Is no one able to provide insight as to why I can’t complete expedition objectives?

[proper lodge]

which one

[near scarab]

when you finish your expedition 100%, youll get your space ship, and then you fly to space and summon the anomaly, then you go to that expedition terminus and put every you want there

[raven stone]

Checkpoint 1. I used the scanner to find my first waste heap but it’s not progressing

[proper lodge]

oh i see, alright thanks

[severe crown]

Did you have the checkpoint objective selected when you scanned? With it not selected, a waste heap will still be found, but it will be marked differently and will not count.

[near scarab]

this is what a friend told me about a good tactic

[proper lodge]

you need to get 5 special waste from there(explosive barrels, radioactive and toxic)

[raven stone]

That’s what I’m actively doing

[near scarab]

@proper lodge this one

[proper lodge]

did you pin that mission?

[near scarab]

and now i have a question, how do i use repair kits? i got 15

[raven stone]

At first I didn’t but now I have the same waste heap selected that in currently going back to

[raven stone]

Yep

[modern yacht]

yo ive been looking through space stations for 10 or 20 mins and havent found a single anomaly being for a portal glyph what am i doing wrong

[raven stone]

I’m literally about to call it quits because of the expedition not letting me progress the quest objectives

[severe crown]

And your checkpoint marker looks like this?

[raven stone]

I’m not getting or seeing any of that

[modern yacht]

have you tried reloading ur game?

[severe crown]

Maybe scanning and going out there before the milestone was pinned affected it. Maybe go a distance away, save and restart, then pin it and scan again.

[proper lodge]

if my expedition save shows as normal will i still be able to transfer items?

[raven stone]

I’ve literally been driving for an hour atp

[severe crown]

um...how far are you from the starting waste processing center? I don't know if being an hour away will break anything.

[raven stone]

Well I’ve been driving between others thinking that another waste heap will help but it didn’t so lol

[near scarab]

i don't exactly understand what you meant by "show as normal" ?

[lilac plinth]

If your tech is damaged, you need resources to repair it. You can use a repairkit instead of those resources.

[raven stone]

I’m not far from the first waste processing plant

I’m reloading the expedition

[severe crown]

Ok. Go there. Save. Reload. Pin the checkpoint milestone. Scan. ... Profit?

[proper lodge]

it doesn't have expedition icon when i look on saves in menu

[raven stone]

We shall see

[proper lodge]

and it has normal story

[near scarab]

oh that means you are in normal save, which also called primary save, you can go back and forth between expedition and normal save in the menu, but you will only be able to transfer items (or use that tactic i mentioned earlier) once you finish all expedition because then you will get a space ship which allows you to go to space and summon anomaly

[proper lodge]

nah that save was expedition, i just finished it and it shows like normal save

[proper lodge]

alright, i'll try

[tropic ginkgo]

once you finish an expedition and transfer items from it, it turns into a normal save

[proper lodge]

i didn't transfer yet it became normal

[severe crown]

Or, if the expedition was started in its own save, accepting all the rewards makes it a normal save.

[raven stone]

I have checkpoint 1 scanned and now I FINALLY HAVE THE QUEST MARKER😂

Holy hell this expedition is tedious

[winter phoenix]

Don't do it if you don't like it?

[tropic ginkgo]

are you able to still transfer items through the expedition terminus on the Anomaly or not?
if not, that save has fully completed the expedition

[raven stone]

I want the armor from this so I have no choice

[raven stone]

The drip is key 🔑

[winter phoenix]

If you're on PC you can just say you did it and get the rewards anyway

[tropic ginkgo]

save editing, mods
on Xbox you can sync the save to a PC, edit the save then sync it back

[raven stone]

Interesting…

[proper lodge]

i'm not in game rn, i'll try in like 50 minutes, tho i don't understand why it became normal without transfering

[tropic ginkgo]

you don't need to transfer to turn an expedition save to a normal save

[severe crown]

Did you start the expedition from an existing normal save, or did you start the expedition directly as a new save of its own?

[proper lodge]

new

[severe crown]

then there is no transfer, it is just its own separate save.

[amber crow]

If i got to a red star system with my ship. Can i summon my freighter there even if it would nornally not be able ti warp there?

[proper lodge]

4 hours wasted😭

[raven stone]

For Road Trip 1 can we transfer more than just 5 special industrial wastes?

[severe crown]

If you have another payer you trust and it is items you want to transfer rather than currency, you can still do it by having the other player hold things and then give them back on the save where you want them.

[lean oriole]

so uh, I want to start building my own corvette but tbh I have no clue how... is there a build mode where I can practice building/testing vettes before I waste money/items on building in normal mode?

[proper lodge]

there not only items, also i need legs and etc for collosus

[severe crown]

I just started this myself and, as far as I can tell, there is no testing for it. The starter pieces "only" cost about 10million (ha), though, and it looks like no parts are wasted since you can mix and match and have them in storage.

[severe crown]

For those legs, once you unlock them in the expedition, they seem to be available on all saves. I only tried on one other save, but they were already in the menu.

[proper lodge]

oh alright thanks

[severe crown]

And for a few of the other expedition rewards, you can check the quicksilver vendor on the anomoly.

[proper lodge]

is quicksilver same for all saves?

[analog scroll]

Most quicksilver purchases are unlocked account wide

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[proper parcel]

twice now ive destroyed a pirate freigter and then borded the regular one to see what tier it was only to comeback out and it says its under attack but no enemy freighter is around. fighters are around but not the freighter. confused. this just a bug? what do i do?just leave? fighters just keep spawning endlessly it seems

[proper lodge]

if i use furnace for collosus can it processe special waste and if so will it go in mission progress?

[proper parcel]

no it doesnt count

[proper lodge]

gotta spend another 4h tomorrow😔

[proper parcel]

yeah its sucky. i think it should count

[lean oriole]

correct, i've noticed this lastnight testing around

[amber crow]

Does leaving the nexus teleport me to a random system?

[modern yacht]

hoe do i check the names of the portal glyphs i have

[raven stone]

Can we take more than 5 special wastes at a time for the road trip quests?

[modern yacht]

how*

[spice vessel]

What’s convergence potential?

[analog scroll]

Some don't have names, you can see which ones you have unlocked in the catalog

[analog scroll]

Yes, but know that you will need 5 at each milestone that requires it, so you're better off saving ones you don't need for later, just in case

[little kiln]

about asking for a lift to a higher galaxy. 256 or any other, where do i ask?

[amber crow]

Is there an easy way to find sentinel pillars and do they exist on dissonant planets

[analog scroll]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[little kiln]

thanks

[analog scroll]

They do, and kill sentinels to find a sentinel boundary chart

[amber crow]

Do they drop those or is it lile witz the ships being shown after 5 waves

[analog scroll]

Random drop

[wheat cove]

It's just flavour, it means they're a machine intelligence close to meeting the standards for the Korvax convergence (or something similar).

[amber crow]

Aight thanks

[proper lodge]

is there maps or something like that for crushed freighters? i saw like 3 of them in my very first system and never saw them again

[hexed kindle]

there's an NPC in each space station which sells the derelict freighter tracker, or an NPC in the anomaly which gives one free a week

[analog scroll]

Not the same thing. Distress call planetary charts can lead to crashed freighters

[trim bridge]

Im wondering how does the price reset works? It feels like the price resets per region? Cuz I get the price drop back to 5 mil from time to time during weekdays

(Immediately buy 3)

[analog scroll]

Starts at 5m, goes up each one you purchase within the same 24 hour (real time) period, then resets back to 5m

[trim bridge]

Oh so it’s time gated

[acoustic rock]

Can you trade ships and freighters with other players

[analog scroll]

There is a method to trade ships to other players pinned in #nms-legacy-ships but it can be tricky. Freighters cannot be traded

[steady trench]

Very weird situation but i send 2 freighters to exhibition and after this one of them changed class from to . I dont know if im goin crazy or its real

Is this possible that freighters upgrade /level up?

[analog scroll]

Frigates, and yes they can upgrade class

[steady trench]

ok thx

[wild crescent]

What is the fastest way to get silver

[steady trench]

Asteroids i think, destroy them

[analog scroll]

Mine it from a planet that has it as a resource

[wild crescent]

but what of those is faster

[analog scroll]

Mining it

[wild crescent]

ty

[modern yacht]

hoe do i get a staff?

how*

[analog scroll]

Finish the story, finish They Who Returned, do missions for the Autophage to earn Void Motes, use the Void Motes to purchase staff parts

[modern yacht]

how long does it take to finish the story?

[analog scroll]

Depends where you are in it

[modern yacht]

rn on alone amidst the stars

[analog scroll]

You're on the 2nd of 9 main story missions

[eager storm]

Do you get the void orbs for the staff parts by finding and doing missions for autophage?

[analog scroll]

Only after you've completed They Who Returned, but yes

[modern yacht]

when i get the void orbs cant i just dupe them or no?

[analog scroll]

If you choose

[modern yacht]

thats very easy

what are all the main story missions btw

[gray shoal]

Doing autophage missions rises rep and u learn autophage words. Cant dupe these

[analog scroll]

!faq-artemispath in #nms-commands

[modern yacht]

is autophage atlas?

[modern yacht]

still pretty easy

[acoustic rock]

My nms is crashing about 15-30 mins

Running 5090 32gb vram with 64gb regular ram

Updated drivers, verified files

Sometimes I get a vulkan error claiming I ran out of vram (which doesn't seem to be true) other times it just hard crashes and I have to restart my pc, and when it happens, my pc takes forever to restart

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it

[tulip dust]

Getting NMS Crash dump files

1. Press&Hold Windows key+Press R, in the Run window that appears, type %localappdata%, press Enter.
2. Open the Temp subfolder;
3. Relevant crash dump filenames will start with NMS_crash, for example NMS_crash_1771955407_161480_0x846ED-HANG_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp;

[wary cedar]

how u all manage freighter storage?

i want to keep it clean

[acoustic rock]

Thanks. It's probably OBS fighting vulkan and frame Gen

If it keeps happening after disabling OBS, I'll fetch the crash logs 🫡

[cinder forge]

hello there ! I'm actually doing the expedition 21 but i've already scanned all fauna and now the step is to scan the fauna with the colossus how can i do it ?

[lofty hinge]

Hey so ive been farming and all my hydroponic bays just suddenly are empty

[agile elm]

Anyone else playing via Steam/PC find that their keyboard shortcut key (set via Steam) randomly stops working to take a photo? It's happening more lately.
Quitting /reopening NMS works to clear it, but I can't figure out if there's something I'm doing that is causing this.
Sometimes if I just click my mouse to take a photo via the game's photo command (in photo mode) it'll take that pic, and then I'll try again with the Steam-defined shortcut (in my case, F1) and it'll work -- as if something got shaken loose lol -- but not always.

[balmy adder]

Disabling would not help .. but an update of OBS to the latest version should work

[wheat cove]

If you upload the fauna discoveries, it should complete that step

[cinder forge]

Tank you very much

[magic nebula]

I was in a pirate dissonant system trying to get a sentinal ship but couldn't get above a 3 tier Sentinal attack. Was that glitch out?

[analog scroll]

Find a dissonance resonator and get an echo locator instead

[mossy meteor]

Is this a fossil site?

[formal estuary]

Does it really matter where I place a Geobay?

[analog scroll]

Depends how you want to access it

[formal estuary]

Won't I be fine with a summoning system or Freighter?

I just need to make the bay once, right?

[analog scroll]

If that's what you're doing, no it doesn't matter where they are, they just have to be somewhere

[formal estuary]

I'm curious, what are you implying by wanting to access it in a way the position matters?

[analog scroll]

If you want to customize your exocraft, you need to access the geobay

[formal estuary]

Ah okay

Yeah better make it near a base then

[formal estuary]

You mean just the appearance, right?

[hazy berry]

where idid you get de-scented bottles

i need them for settlement

[analog scroll]

Scientific economies (trade goods)

[proper lodge]

Do i can warp to blue systems if i crafted engine for blue systems without crafting red and green?

Alright thanks

[analog scroll]

You can also get to red and green systems with the indium engine

[proper lodge]

Great

How rare are "normal" planet in blue system?

[analog scroll]

Not rare at all?

[proper lodge]

I mean the ones with air(if that's possible) no weather hazards, green grass and trees, blue sky and blue water

[quartz minnow]

Any name suggestions?

[analog scroll]

As rare as any other star color.

[analog scroll]

Better for #nms-legacy-ships

[charred haven]

Fleam

[quartz minnow]

[charred haven]

Fleam king of fire

[proper lodge]

Mosquito

[hazy berry]

is there any downside of collectin multiple of same type of exotics, like just now a new pretty nice looking one spawned

[charred haven]

You can take it, and put in archive, so it does not take up max actie ship slots

[proper lodge]

You can sell em and if it's bones you can exchange them for other ones

[quartz minnow]

Wait he cooking

[hazy berry]

like im missing this small ball one

i think i almost have every other type

[charred haven]

Not really a downside no, just be aware of how many ships you have active

would suck to find the godroll, and not be able to take it beacuse you have 12 active ships

[hazy berry]

now i have that ball one with thrusurs, small wings, and bit larger wings. Only missing the squid one

unless there was an another model

wasnät there one with really large wings

like that go high up

[proper lodge]

How do you find ships?

just go around the planet or there some secret?

[charred haven]

in general?

[hazy berry]

that one just randomly spawned while i was on space station

i was justreally lucky

[proper lodge]

Preferably for free

Like crashed ones and etc

I found 3 crashed ships but they all look bad

[distant torrent]

if you want a free s class i think you gotta use distress maps in 3 star economy systems

[hazy berry]

well you could technically salvage the crashed ships for parts and build your own ship

thats tevhnically free

[proper lodge]

You can build your own ship?

[hazy berry]

yeah, "normal" and corvettes

[proper lodge]

I through it only works with corvette

[distant torrent]

it's a grind

[analog scroll]

Fighter, Explorer, Hauler, Solar only

[proper lodge]

Btw what is the difference between corvette and spaceship?

[hazy berry]

alot of things

[distant torrent]

corvette is basically a mobile base that you fly and land yourself

[analog scroll]

Corvette is bigger

[hazy berry]

corvettes in my opinion are way superior compared to the legacy ships

[charred haven]

is the smallest possible corvette bigger than all ships?

[analog scroll]

Very likely

[hazy berry]

they can hover, have the same amount of storage than freighters, etc

[proper lodge]

So basically freighter but small version?

[hazy berry]

they can have crafting stations, decorations

[charred haven]

Statwise sure, but intercepters feel so good to fight with

[hazy berry]

yeah, but corvette phase beam is broken

[analog scroll]

A corvette does not have the same advantages as a freighter when it comes to storage

[hazy berry]

well technically, it has the storage containers, but not the 2x storage amount

that freighter has

[analog scroll]

You also can't build out of those storage containers anywhere in the same system

[proper lodge]

You can do that with freighter?

[hazy berry]

but thats talking about tech, im meaning like raw corvette freighter comparasion

[analog scroll]

With the matter beam installed, yes

[charred haven]

Can you interact with storage containers in corvettes like you can with freighter without interacting directly with the containers?

[proper lodge]

Woah

[hazy berry]

the freighter matter beams is in own league

freigter*

[analog scroll]

I haven't tried

[hazy berry]

no

[proper lodge]

Whats the difference between colored systems except that one has certain resource and other doesn't?

[hazy berry]

you mean the yealloe, red, green, etc ones?

[charred haven]

Red, blue and green systems has red, blue and green biome types. check out !faq-biomes

[proper lodge]

Yeah

[proper lodge]

How about purple?

[analog scroll]

Gas giants and water worlds

[charred haven]

and new terrain technology

[analog scroll]

Make that any giants

[proper lodge]

Is it possible to land on gas giant?

[fiery escarp]

Is there another way to farm for uranium besides npc and Montreal extractors?

[charred haven]

mineral?

[hot parrot]

radioactive waste

[proper lodge]

On some planets you can mine it with terrain manipulator

[hazy berry]

well you could technically refine it, tho its not very efficient

[charred haven]

duping

[fiery escarp]

No exploits or game bugs

[fiery escarp]

Thx

[charred haven]

Sorry about to take up a lot of space

[charred haven]

^

[hazy berry]

well then the mineral extractors are propably your best bet

[fiery escarp]

I see thx

[charred haven]

I thought I was going to take up a lot more space

[proper lodge]

What are the "[REDACTED]" in biomes?

[charred haven]

@fiery escarp there are also refining recepies for uranium

[charred haven]

specific biome type. Might be a lore question? if you want to know that try asking around in #nms-lore

[hexed kindle]

it indicates that there's some abnormality with the planet's aspects like a color tint or unique fauna

[quartz minnow]

This might be my last time playing nms for a while

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[charred haven]

nms won't go anywhere🫂

[quartz minnow]

No

I’m saying

I have Xbox game pass

I share an account with my friend

And he’s deleting his acc

So rip NMs

[charred haven]

oof

[proper lodge]

So basically he's deleting your and his account?

Sorry if i'm asking stupid question

[quartz minnow]

Nope just his

[charred haven]

what

[quartz minnow]

I mean his

[distant torrent]

yeah that makes no sense

[quartz minnow]

Mb

[proper lodge]

But how does it affect nms?

And your account

[quartz minnow]

I don’t have NMs

My friend had gamepass

And is the only reason I can play it

[proper lodge]

Ohh i see

[quartz minnow]

And if he deletes his account; no No man’s sky

well

I may be able to save

but it’ll take at least 1 month

[proper lodge]

Well, that's sad

[quartz minnow]

good news

I bought the game

and my save is still there and everything

[proper lodge]

Nice

[main stone]

Will my settlement ask me to build something (e.g. star port) if i already have another building upgrade in progress (upgrading the multi barn to S class)? I really want a star port

[plain scarab]

Sentinel Interceptor ships cant be upgraded, right?

[analog scroll]

Not until the building in progress is done

[plain scarab]

So I need to find it S Tier?

[analog scroll]

Sure they can

[plain scarab]

I mean the Tier

[analog scroll]

So do I. They're a personal ship, they can be upgraded

[quartz minnow]

How do I get a void egg?

[plain scarab]

Really? I thought like with Freighters I need to find them in S Tier^^

[proper lodge]

Where to find nitrogen

[analog scroll]

Earn quicksilver, buy egg

[quartz minnow]

How do I get quicksilver?

[analog scroll]

Freighters cannot be upgraded, they're the only ship type that can't

[proper lodge]

Expedition and missions(PROBABLY)

[analog scroll]

Do the daily and weekend missions available in the Anomaly

[quartz minnow]

I just realized your pfp

Is Dante from limbus company

[proper lodge]

Yeah

[analog scroll]

Thiss might help

[proper lodge]

As well as my name

[proper lodge]

YESSSSSS, gotta get blue engine unlocked tomorrow and finally get nitrogen

[analog scroll]

You can get nitrogen in any color star system, it's all about the biome

[proper lodge]

I'm too unlucky to find lush swamp or toxic planet

So i'll go with blue

[eager storm]

My friend and I are both pretty new to the game. I got him into it but we both started with the expedition. I finished it before and wasn’t able to join him. Now that’s he done can we play together?

[proper lodge]

Yes

⚠️ No Man's Sky - Doing Quests in a group

Playing in a group can cause one or more players to experience issues or bugs when progressing quests, such as the main Storyline. Some of these issues are listed below.

• Waypoints not appearing on the HUD;
• Waypoints moving or jumping planets when you get close;
• Destinations being thousands of lightyears away;
• Quest destinations fail to provide the correct dialogs for the current stage;
• Primary ship getting accidentally reskinned to a different ship;
• Getting trapped on the other side of a portal;
• Getting trapped in a star system without access to both an hyperdrive or a teleporter/Space Station.

Some of the above issues can be difficult or even impossible to fix with just in game steps. Already having access to the Space Anomaly can help in some cases, but it's generally best to ignore quest progression when playing in a group.

📖 Did you know? Also known as The Artemis Path, the main Storyline was implemented before Multiplayer came to be a thing. It is intended to be run solo.

[rustic zealot]

Or maybe you just overlooked them? (No offense, when I started many things didn't click for me, but also English is not my first language.)

[analog scroll]

Because you have to wire it up correctly, or just use a holo door

[proper lodge]

Your save turned into normal so you can, you pretty much could do in expedition but as i seen people will lag for you and everywhere has different scrap

[proper lodge]

There's wires for doors?

[near scarab]

That's definitely not how i did it, but thanks, um what's those prox and pwr inv?

[proper lodge]

I check every planet when going into new system so i won't miss anything

[quartz minnow]

I haven’t launched Nms yet since buying but if I had it on gamepass and bought it would my save data be there?

[analog scroll]

Blueprints you can unlock in the Anomaly

[near scarab]

Lol yeah, under large structure category

[near scarab]

Gracias

[proper lodge]

The only thing i missed is big worms which i couldn't scan sadly

[quartz minnow]

Ima go on the Reddit and try to find some more cool ships

so cya in a bit

[proper lodge]

Hell nah, i just started taking break from satisfactory

Now this

[rustic zealot]

But I'm sure you've found planets with like "Star bulb" (Lush.) etc

[proper lodge]

I did find star bulb, many of them but they looked a bit... trash

[rustic zealot]

Still gets you nitrogen regardless

[analog scroll]

Any planet with star bulb will have nitrogen deposits

[proper lodge]

And had like 2 milliliters of water per 500km³

[proper lodge]

I should've looked closer then

I found them in my first 2-3 systems, now i can't find any star bulbs

Only disasters i forced to call planets

[rustic zealot]

Not regular deposits (like copper, dioxite etc) though. You need extractors/harvesters to get it

[proper lodge]

Oh then i can't get it yet

Also why when i come back to old systems i have to scan them again?

[rustic zealot]

You have to land on said planets and get out of your ship ("Leave a footprint" ) for it to be discovered.

Or use freighter scanner room, but that's probably out of your reach at that stage

[proper lodge]

I scanned that planet almost fully

Every flora and fauna i could find i scanned it

And the planet itself too

[analog scroll]

You also have to upload said discovery

[proper lodge]

Oh

[rustic zealot]

Oh idk then

[rustic zealot]

It never reset for me so far just for not uploading

[analog scroll]

If you leave the system and come back

[quartz minnow]

Can you use the same portal?

[proper lodge]

I left that systems for like a week and discovered 10 new ones

[rustic zealot]

Yep. Same thing. I get my nanites from Fauna scans, often forgetting about "redeeming" them and only upload stuff like every 2-3 days.

When I remember to do so, it's still there.

Either its bugged for me (in a good way) or you guys 😅

[tropic ginkgo]

never reset for me either
every planet I've landed foot on stayed in my discoveries

[proper lodge]

And i had to scan everything again but when i gone into another system and came back nothing changed for the other ones

[rustic zealot]

That explains it though. Your save file can only hold so much system info.

(like 30 system, but never actually counted)

The older ones gets forgotten as you discover more

[proper lodge]

Understood

Another question, if i leave the galaxy or make like 50 bases, will i be able to teleport to them or they'll start to disappear after some point?

[analog scroll]

You can always teleport to your own bases

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

Can freighter travel between galaxies?

[analog scroll]

Freighters can be summoned anywhere in the universe for no fuel cost if it has a drive installed that can access the system color you're in

[proper lodge]

Alright

If i'm in another system and my freighter in other system will i still be able to summon exocraft on the planet if i have exocraft teleporter(or however it named) in my freighter?

[swift sand]

you'll need freighter in the current system for orb exo materializer room to work

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[solid quest]

no man sky

[charred haven]

yes?

[solid quest]

no man

sky

...

[swift sand]

anything we can help with about the game?

[proper lodge]

Can i see crashed starships, small buildings and etc if i'm gonna just fly above the ground with my starship

[proper lodge]

Like 80-100u above the ground

[charred haven]

they should be rendered in, but I will warn you that without scans it can take a while before you find anything

[swift sand]

yep, if you're flying low and slow enough for the game to have time to render them - crashed ship sites are even marked on the mini radar

[charred haven]

for general chatting: #no-mans-sky

[proper lodge]

I won't use that method to find something new, i just once accidentally flew away from pillar and couldn't find it

[solid quest]

you are an amazing person thank you

[rustic zealot]

Just a sidenote, you can get a portable exo summoner thingy that you can place on any planet (and able to pick it back up) which does the same thing. IIRC it costs 12 buried technology data to unlock in the anomaly.

It's mainly good because it takes a ridiculous amount of grinding to unlock all hyper drives for freighter, and this portable thing you can bring everywhere even if you can't summon your freighter in that certain star system just yet

[proper lodge]

Well i don't even have that type of engines on my starship yet so i just need it on freighter so i can get it with me anywhere

Can minotaur walk underwater?

[swift sand]

yes, but he's really slow

[analog scroll]

If you choose to not do the grinding for the salvaged frigate modules, unlocking purple systems for your ship also unlocks the same drive for your freighter

[quartz minnow]

I’m hunting for a squid ship rn

[swift sand]

just like any exo underwater that's not nautilon

[quartz minnow]

on the 3rd wave

Wish me luck

[proper lodge]

How do you haunt for ships

[charred haven]

exotics?

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[proper lodge]

Yeah

[charred haven]

Unless you wanna use cords, it's a whole bunch of luck for a specific design

[swift sand]

basics: sit in the station, observe pilots spawning in - every inhabited system has 1 exotic design in its drop table

[acoustic rock]

Hmm, it's currently updated to the latest version. My dump file is empty after just hard crashing

[quartz minnow]

depends on what ship you want

[charred haven]

5% spawn chance in outlaw systems

[charred haven]

the way you hunt for them is the same

[rustic zealot]

Had absolutely no clue and didn't rush the missions on my current save, funny enough I wanted to get them drives first .. You just saved me hours of headache.

Thank you!!

[proper lodge]

Very small weirdly made ship

[quartz minnow]

Find a sentinel ship

I still have the cords

[swift sand]

nah, exotics have the same drop chance regardless of eco tier, .333%, or 1 in 301

[quartz minnow]

Are you looking for smth like this?

[proper lodge]

Thats not very small

[charred haven]

huh

[proper lodge]

I meant VERY small

[quartz minnow]

It’s much smaller than it looks

[proper lodge]

Could you send ss where you stand besides it?

[swift sand]

can use #nms-media for this

[quartz minnow]

Yeah in a bit

[proper lodge]

Thanks

[charred haven]

so many things that are dependant on system econ, and then some important ones that are not...

wrong messege to answer, sorry

[swift sand]

it's okay, and yeah, some edge cases here and there

[quartz minnow]

For scale tho its about as big as the player

[proper lodge]

Thats what i needed:D

[quartz minnow]

Go to NMs media I can send glyphs

[charred haven]

something like this? #nms-media message
picture from wiki

[near scarab]

Guys is it possible to change the default function of the auto switch?

[quartz minnow]

Hopefully it doesn’t take him as long to get it as I did

[bronze stratus]

How to find the system closest to the center of the galaxy in the teleport or other way?

[analog scroll]

Unless you built a base there, you're not likely to find it in that interface

[lunar pulsar]

Hi

[proper lodge]

Wait, you said about teleporter with glyphs on space station, i've seen only normal one

[swift sand]

unless you had glyph addresses and made use of external tools, it's not possible to tell distance to core before teleporting and opening galaxy map

[quartz minnow]

No

You use a portal to get there

Then enter a space station

[swift sand]

hi, anything we can help you with?

[quartz minnow]

go to the teleporter of the station

There’s a vase next to it

anyone got a list of all exotics?

[proper lodge]

Oh alr

[quartz minnow]

Anyways ima go back to squid ship hunting I’ll message back if I get one

[swift sand]

check nmsce.com

[swift sand]

remember that we got #explorers-archive , can be nice to share things like that

[charred haven]

is the picture you send in nms media from the planet / sytem you found it in?

[quartz minnow]

Yep

[charred haven]

nice

[quartz minnow]

I’m just camping a space station till something spawns

[swift sand]

yep, that's how it goes, good luck 🙂

[charred haven]

How does spawn around trade outposts work, and is that more efficient for exotics than ss?

[analog scroll]

It can be, because cycle time at a trade post is faster than at the space station, especially if you land away from the trade post so 1 more pad is used at a time

[quartz minnow]

I’m mostly looking for a white one

But any other is fine

[swift sand]

additionally, if i'm targetting a specific ship, and i'm ok to save+reload - because at many outposts, we can see ships spawning in the distance, save+reload if ship i want didn't spawn no need to wait for them to land

[charred haven]

does it make sense to build more landing pads? (more than one extra)

[thick haven]

Hey, does the Immortal Worm count as one of a given planet's fauna? I'm at 5/6, with a mission to scan one fauna on this planet that I picked up after reaching that, and even though I got lucky enough to see it I couldn't scan it.

[swift sand]

not sure if it works anymore, but there used to be players would build like a base next to a trade outpost with some 4 landing pads lol

[fiery escarp]

Which food gives the best flora analysis rewards?

[swift sand]

for the cases when more than 5 ships spawn

[proper lodge]

What is immortal worm?

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

[charred haven]

spoiler for a cool event

but if you insist

[thick haven]

Rare spawn.

Think Dune.

[proper lodge]

The ones that jump out of the ground?

[thick haven]

Yup.

[swift sand]

well, they spawn all the time in infested biome subtypes

[proper lodge]

I had one planet with them in my very first system

[wanton granite]

Currently we still can't rearrange pet slot right?

[thick haven]

Yeah, this isn't one of those. It's a volcanic.

[charred haven]

uncommon moreso than rare

[swift sand]

right

[wanton granite]

Dang it. Thank you.

[quartz minnow]

Been sitting here for about 12 minutes. I’m wondering if an exotics gonna spawn or not

[swift sand]

like i said before, good luck: might spawn in the next wave, might not

[proper lodge]

What cool event?

[swift sand]

that's rng - 1 in 301

[charred haven]

@quartz minnow

[proper lodge]

Also what their nests give? I tried to come close but these dudes started spitting on me from all directions

[charred haven]

you know what it is, so it would not be a spoiler in this case. Point is that moment would be extremely cool for someone to experience blind for the first time

[proper lodge]

I need spoilers to play

I lose interest VERY quickly if i don't have spoilers

[charred haven]

not this one, but yeah, I play terraria

i understand

[proper lodge]

Tell me

What they give

[charred haven]

worms?

[proper lodge]

Nests

I'm still pissed off at them for spitting on me

[charred haven]

egg item, the important part is that they can be refined for nanites

[dreamy vector]

also lore i think

[swift sand]

fleshy rope and vile spawn to refine to nanites

[charred haven]

you just need to be quick to pick them up

[proper lodge]

One day they'll see my revenge

[swift sand]

wormskin folio for catalog completion

[charred haven]

ah, I was thinking of whipering egg

[proper lodge]

Can i get a pet worm for myself?

[swift sand]

ah gotcha yeah

[dreamy vector]

one from an exped

[proper lodge]

Or is it's egg that cannot he hatched?

[proper lodge]

Sad

[alpine echo]

Are the living ships making contact the same as the ones you find in their coordinates, I noticed both were yellow

[swift sand]

cant tame titan worm

[dreamy vector]

the egg you get in normal gameplay is just a regular item

[charred haven]

there was an expedition item, so not unless a rerun of it will come next holiday, and the other option is save editing, or itembot

[swift sand]

nah, the model used for the space encounter isn't going to tell what the ship you'll get will be like

or getting a sandworm egg from another player, if multiplayer support

[proper lodge]

So they pretty much useless?

[thick haven]

Oh. I stand corrected. I'm at 6/6 on this planet, with a mission to scan one unique fauna on the planet. So I guess that mission is just softlocked.

[charred haven]

strictly functionally speaking, yes. They do give big cool vibes tho

[analog scroll]

Upload the discoveries

[dreamy vector]

ok so the wiki says that s class jetpack upgrades give 6 stats total, but in game it only shows 4. are the other 2 hidden or what's their deal?

[thick haven]

It's already done.

[swift sand]

should work if you do it on another planet

[charred haven]

s-class modueles can be rolled with a selection of different stats, and sometimes fewer stats than you would expect

[thick haven]

Really? It's one of those ones given by a scientist on the planet in question, and specifies this planet. I'll give it a shot.

[charred haven]

from 6 total stats in the lootpool?

@swift sand ?

[swift sand]

up to 4 out of 6

[dreamy vector]

huh

[charred haven]

can it be less than 4 on s?

[swift sand]

no, always 4

[analog scroll]

Wiki shows Tanks+Initial Boost are on every upgrade, then the other 4 on S class

[lament ridge]

guys is this game good

lowk might buy it

[charred haven]

ah. It is just a bunch of other upgrades that work that way

[analog scroll]

You probably want to ask in the general chat channel, #no-mans-sky

[dreamy vector]

well i understand my mistake but that's a kinda weird way to make the table

[proper lodge]

Thats peak

One of the best games i ever bought

[charred haven]

I would watch some reviews. "The engoodening of nms" good at selling it to you, if you know it is for you. Main points: Sandbox games can be hard to stay engaged in since there are no nescesary objectives at a certain point

not sure that is the exact title btw

[lucid gate]

just watch gameplay videos on youtube. before i play a game i see plenty of videos and read some what other players thoughts.

[lament ridge]

isnt it like dead tho

like the maps so big u never see any1

[thick haven]

There's dedicated multiplayer.

[dreamy vector]

the multiplayer element isnt really that important to the experience

[thick haven]

But for the most part, yeah, it's a single-player experience other than multiplayer missions initiated from a designated multiplayer hub.

It's not really meant to be a multiplayer game.

[charred haven]

define dead. Definietly way smaller player base than Cod, heldivers and such, but comparatively this discord is proof of a pretty alive community

[proper lodge]

The map is big that finding a player is very hard but there always a bunch of players in first galaxy, in hub and expedition

[lament ridge]

are clans any good

[dreamy vector]

it's mostly a singleplayer game but ocassionally you'll come accross signs that other players have been where you are, death stranding style

[lament ridge]

ah cool

[thick haven]

It's a universe simulation. Universes are big. There could be a thousand, ten thousand times the amount of players, and unless you coordinate really well you'd still never see someone else.

There's something like thirteen trillion star systems, I think?

[charred haven]

it happens, but it is exeedingly rare, if you are not near a player hub or a galactic hub

[proper lodge]

I happened to see whole 4 players in my system, never saw anyone again after that

[proper lodge]

At once

[quartz minnow]

Ima switch locations

[charred haven]

spawn planets are shared between a lot of planets I believe

[quartz minnow]

I’ve been standing here for 19 mins no exotic

[proper lodge]

That wasn't spawn planet tho

[thick haven]

That did work, thank you.

[charred haven]

in the space station?

[proper lodge]

If i teleport in any of engine restricted systems will i be able to warp out of them?

[thick haven]

Yes and no. You can't warp to space stations, I don't think, but you can warp to your base.

[charred haven]

you can always teleport out through space stations or base teleports, or even portals

[proper lodge]

I know

Just asking

Pure curiosity

[quartz minnow]

Yes

[thick haven]

Failing that, you could just summon the anomaly and teleport out through that. It kind of breaks a lot of intended mechanics.

[charred haven]

You can't spawn a ship to a system if it does not have the correct drives installed

exept yellows

[swift sand]

a freighter, no - but a ship, yes

[thick haven]

Oh, you're talking about the different color stars, not pirate systems.

[swift sand]

should work just fine with ships regardless of star system color

[charred haven]

huh

[swift sand]

only freighter has that restriction/requirement

[charred haven]

this game bamboozles me

[thick haven]

It's a game that's been built over the course of nearly a decade.

[proper lodge]

Let me make a situation: i teleported into someone's base which is in one of engine restricted systems, now i want to warp into another system near it without required engine for the system i'm in, will i be able to warp out of that system?

[swift sand]

yes - just wouldnt be able to warp in again

yes

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[charred haven]

does corvettes work like that too?

[stuck berry]

corvettes are a type of starship

so yes

[proper lodge]

Who made the chances to get salvaged frigate modules so low and had the audacity to make prices of certain research cost more than 1

[charred haven]

you can make it guaranteed through envoys, but you need to be max rank, which takes a long time

[thick haven]

Is there any purpose to the destroyed frigates you can randomly run into while pulsing? Not the ones you track down via the signal, the ones that just show up.

[proper lodge]

The humble limit on parts you can donate

[stuck berry]

The derelict freighters you find randomly that are split into a ton of pieces sometimes have cargo pods floating that can be destroyed, which sometimes makes a pirate ambush happen, but otherwise they just exist

[charred haven]

If you have enough patience, you can warp to a new system in the same region, and that limit is technically not there

[proper lodge]

You mean freighter?

[stuck berry]

You can locate ones that you can land on and explore by purchasing an Emergency Signal Scanner from the Scrap Dealer aboard Space Stations

[thick haven]

Yeah, I'm talking about the first ones.

The random ones.

[quartz minnow]

Btw can I add you on nms?

[swift sand]

you mean, my friend code? sure why not. i'll dm you mine.

[quartz minnow]

Ok

[proper lodge]

What is the purpose of cultivation room in freighter?

[charred haven]

to plant plants and steal your fps

[thick haven]

You can grow things via the base building quest tree.

Or just by buying the ability in the anomaly.

[proper lodge]

What the point of plants? Or they give resources like on the planets?

[thick haven]

They give resources.

[proper lodge]

So i can complete game in freighter?

[charred haven]

Cultivation chambers have planters build in, you don't need extra base modules to plant them in

[lost jay]

What are discovered waypoints good for if I cant mark them to find the place again? Am I missing something?

[proper lodge]

To save your game

[stuck berry]

I don't think that having a ton of Star Bulb could be considered completing the game

[thick haven]

Yeah, but you need to do the agricultural questline to learn the recipes to plant stuff, unless you just buy it.

The base building quest tree is designed to introduce you to a lot of the mechanics like that.

[lucid gate]

plants beside the role of ''potion'', cna be used in crafting for other useful parts to create needing parts or expensive parts for selling.

[proper lodge]

I mean freighter can do almost everything except landing on planets and space stations

[stuck berry]

They can't make use of Mineral and Gas Extractors

[proper lodge]

Terminal

[stuck berry]

which are the ways of automating all mineral and gas resources

[proper lodge]

Trade terminal

[lost jay]

Yea but I mean why are they recorded in their own window in the discovery tab, with pictures and all.

[proper lodge]

And frigates

[near scarab]

Are there missions that are infinite loop? They never end?

[proper lodge]

Idk

[thick haven]

Because NMS is a game that started kind of aimlessly and found its identity as it grew.

[charred haven]

plants can be essential parts in giant crafting chains, but if you don't have a monster computer or console, I would recommend you don't plant plants on a freighter

[thick haven]

There's a lot of weird decisions.

[stuck berry]

Yes. Atlas Eternal is one. The Space Anomaly and New Beginnings could be considered another but they technically have no objective at all

[swift sand]

also some of the base crew ones

[lost jay]

Yea that makes sense... I was just wondering if I was missing something to use them

[charred haven]

poor farmer 🥲

[proper lodge]

How many rooms does it take to make my eyes bleed?

[near scarab]

What about the Base computer archive quest?

[stuck berry]

That ends after 10 cycles of sending you to abandoned buildings

which is when the small text story is finished

[near scarab]

Oh nice at least it ends

[charred haven]

8 rooms with planted plants is very hard on performance. There are better options for planting plants, and decorative plants, than planting in a freighter

If you want to plant plants for crafting chains I highly recommend you go to a dead planet and build biodomes

[proper lodge]

So i'll make 7 of them far from each other

[proper lodge]

Can't find a dead planet, only planets that make me dead

Also speaking about dead, what happens if i die?

[thick haven]

Depends on your difficulty setting.

[proper lodge]

Normal probably

[charred haven]

I don't know an exact number. But seriously plants will easily drop your systems fps by 15-20 fps if you look at them on a freighter

[thick haven]

I think a bunch of your equipment is damaged?

On higher difficulties, you either drop everything you're carrying or your save just ends.

[proper lodge]

Understood

[charred haven]

nope, a gravestone is dropped with your items in it

[stuck berry]

A grave appears where you died, which contains your previous cargo inventory

if you die again or leave the system/reload before reaching the grave, it disappears forever

[charred haven]

Have tried that in the early game

cannot recommend

[proper lodge]

Can radioactive anomaly dmg me in the ship?

[thick haven]

Nope.

[stuck berry]

Probably not

[thick haven]

Neither does fire.

And you can't be affected by a gravitational anomaly.

When you're in your ship, you're basically immune to everything that's not ramming into things or ships.

[charred haven]

you should be safe in your ship, when you are landed on a planet

[proper lodge]

On what kind of planet is gravitional anomaly?

Wanna experience it on myself

[thick haven]

...Scaled?

I don't know the name.

Lots of hexagons.

[stuck berry]

Dissonant worlds have this somewhat rarely

[charred haven]

Hexagonal/plated and scaly

[proper lodge]

What is the difference between abandoned and abandoned but scary colour?

[proper lodge]

Barren biome

[thick haven]

The scary color indicates that it's a ruined subtype.

[proper lodge]

Ruined? Like no atmosphere and many space horrors?

[thick haven]

Barren has both normal and ruined versions of Abandoned.

Not really.

The space horrors is dissonant.

or infested.

Ruined subtypes are... I think it mostly determines what type of settlements can spawn there.

[proper lodge]

What abandoned planets look like?

No fauna and flora?

[thick haven]

There's lots of different versions of the abandoned label. It mostly is decided by the biome type.

Barren is no fauna and flora, though, yes.

Barren is usually moons.

With no atmosphere.

[proper lodge]

How about pink colored?

[thick haven]

Those are infested.

[stuck berry]

You are mixing up Barren and Dead

[thick haven]

Ah, my bad.

[stuck berry]

Barren is better described as desert planets, which is how they are described in-game
