nms-questions

[tiny vortex]

really? but what represents normally? i mean i can warpspeed to it

[analog scroll]

It's a bug, it doesn't represent anything. You can't see buildings in space

[livid kayak]

inhabited building, like you can see on this planetary chart below. But you won't find any buildings outside of the planets

[vital estuary]

As far as I can tell the anomaly has something to do with that icon showing up.

[tiny vortex]

could be...im on a mission after all

what happens in this game if you just press warp speed and let it go? do you eventually reach another solar sytem?

[analog scroll]

No, and pulse is not the same as warp

[tiny vortex]

oh sry, meant pulse

[livid kayak]

You won't, but after reaching some really huge distances the game will start to glitch for you more and more

[lucid gate]

cant let it go, since need fuel.

[livid kayak]

Yeah but you can refuel and keep going

[tiny vortex]

i just "reached" the icon. It basically stop the pulse speed and appeared behind me, so yeah, bug.

and that is kinda interesting...like Minecraft's farlands or something like that???

[lucid gate]

do it, i dare you 😂

[livid kayak]

don't need to, i've already seen the results 🙂

[lucid gate]

yes ... right 😂

[tiny vortex]

the internet says that if you pulse long enough, you eventually reach GTAVI release date here

[livid kayak]

sounds about right 😄

[analog scroll]

I mean, there are enough ways to crash the game

[livid kayak]

oh for sure

[timber niche]

vesper sail?

it like auto recharges or smth (?)

[analog scroll]

Vesper sail recharges the launch thrusters

[vital estuary]

Just the launch fuel.

[timber niche]

oh

[analog scroll]

Tritium or pyrite recharges the pulse engine

[timber niche]

thats so useless then bcs isnt that just the same as the launch auto charger

[vital estuary]

It reduces the pulse fuel use some though.

[lucid gate]

you can unlock and craft the autorefuel for launch in every ship now

[livid kayak]

the autocharger only works when you land the ship

[stuck berry]

The Launch Auto-Charger has the exact same function as the property in the Vesper Sails as well as the Azimuth-Class Reactor

So if you have the resources to install a Launch Auto-Charger, there's no reason to care about that specific benefit but of course there are other benefits from the other options like pulse fuel efficiency, an extra thing to have stuff be adjacent to, etc

[lucid gate]

no its correct the auto launch charger works only when ground, but none will fly so many hours to finish the 100% and the recharge is 4% per minute

[stuck berry]

Yeah, I haven't needed to manually refuel mine in a very long time

[livid kayak]

sure, that's the main difference, but vesper also gives you some additional boosts like +11% Maneuverability as a bonus.

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is quite useful as well as the fact it's another thing to have adjacency with

[livid kayak]

and increases fuel efficiency for pulse engines iirc

[lucid gate]

not find it useful this in this game since can hunt-kill enemy ships via autofollow

[livid kayak]

I mean, you can argue aswell, that a bare bones ship is already good enough to deal with anything in this game.

it's not a very challenging title if you know what i mean

[proper lodge]

Hours? Mine is gone after pulsing
to one planet and back to space station if that planet is quite far

[plain scarab]

So... I know to get an S-Class Pirate Dreadnaught, I can just warp in and out of a system where there is a freighter battle until I find one, right? But what if I dont want the Pirate freighter, but the other one? Can I use the same tactic to get it in S Class?

[analog scroll]

Save before every warp. Freighter battles trigger with 3 hours played + 5 warps between battles. Do the battle, check the class, reload your restore point if it's not what you want. Make sure to not do it in your corvette

[main stone]

Are these all permanent missions? Or can any of them be completed?

[quartz minnow]

How do I own a settlement?

I wanna make a city

[analog scroll]

All permanent

[analog scroll]

Find a settlement, become overseer

[quartz minnow]

How do I find one?

[proper lodge]

Buy map on the space station

[analog scroll]

Settlement chart, or there is a mission that will guide you to your first one eventually

[proper lodge]

From a guy on first floor on the left

Keep in mind that you will need resources to build things, upgrade things, protect it from sentinels and many other things

[livid kayak]

Yeah, you can buy a chart at the station, or if you wanna locate autophages settlement, you need to buy a chart from their terminal

[proper lodge]

What are autophages?

And how to find them?

[analog scroll]

Race you can only unlock after completing the story

[livid kayak]

oh, keep playing the story then. You'll find them

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

Do they live in purple systems or something?

[livid kayak]

yeah

i mean it's tied to them

[analog scroll]

They live in every populated system

You just can't find them until you unlock them

[proper lodge]

How have i never seen them?

[livid kayak]

but yes, you can find them anywhere, eventually

[analog scroll]

Part of their lore

[livid kayak]

because they are hidden until you complete story missions

after that you'll be able to do their specific questline

[proper lodge]

Cool

What they have to offer me

[analog scroll]

Cosmetics and a new multi tool type

[proper lodge]

Staff?

[livid kayak]

cosmetics, upgrades, tools, and more lore

and more missions

[proper lodge]

How their settlements look like?

[livid kayak]

cyberpunk theme with purple accents basically

[proper lodge]

Tuff

I need that

Gotta complete the story while living ship growing

[livid kayak]

keep playing then, you still have some work to do first

[proper lodge]

Btw, what story do i need for them and portals?

[stuck berry]

For the Autophage mission, just completion of the main story as well as having lifted the seal of a Harmonic Camp before #nms-commands message. For portals, they can be used as long as you have at least one Portal Glyph #nms-commands message though you get all 16 of them at the end of the main story

[cursive coyote]

im recently coming back to the game, and i remember a story mission ||where u like crash landed looking for artemis or whoever and u like forgot stuff lost ur ship and all ur stuff was broken || and i remember being soft locked like i couldnt get the required materials to repair my ship and stuff was i just stupid or is this a known issue and how can i prevent it

[proper lodge]

Wdym by "at least one portal glyph"?

[stuck berry]

You can always repair any non-sentinel, non-living ship with the resources found on all planets, so there's no need to worry

[cursive coyote]

so i was just stupid?

[stuck berry]

if you are using a sentinel or living ship, just summon a ship that isn't one of those. if you only have those, maybe just explore until a ship lands in front of you and buy that

[livid kayak]

glyphs are like phone numbers. you dial a specific address and you can use those portals to tp somewhere else. Glyphs look like this:

[cursive coyote]

nah it was a regular ship do u think i was just missing stuff

[proper lodge]

How to repair living ship?

[cursive coyote]

user error?

[stuck berry]

User error then

[cursive coyote]

alr ty

also how can i make it so my game doesnt pause when i tab out

[proper lodge]

No i mean unlocking glyphs

[stuck berry]

Only by using an extremely simple mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[livid kayak]

You unlock them after you finish the main storyline

[proper lodge]

It doesn't

[cursive coyote]

can i still play MP with mods?

[proper lodge]

Screen just freezes

[cursive coyote]

yes it does

[stuck berry]

Yes #nms-modding message you can do everything you could before

[cursive coyote]

thanks man

[stuck berry]

[low onyx]

Hey everyone, I've had a big problem with the game for the past few hours. My corvette can't land on planets, nor can I summon it to a planet. When I try to modify it, the game tells me the modules need to be connected. When I go to the anomaly, my corvette lands in the scenery... and I've seen that this is a problem that's been happening a lot for the past few days. Does anyone have a solution, please?

[proper lodge]

For example: you flying and tab out, your screen freezes(only the game one) but after you go back your ship will be in new location bc it kept moving

[stuck berry]

Then you probably have an extremely different configuration, like being on Linux/Mac

On Windows, the game fully pauses when out of focus

[quartz minnow]

So I just got 20 void eggs, how do I use them?

[cursive coyote]

not for me

i use borderless

[stuck berry]

Just pulse in space. It's advised to place all but one of them in an exocraft and then switch to another one (or possibly the same for ships)

Note that they must be Void Eggs, not Cracking Void Eggs or any other suffixes/prefixes

[low onyx]

[proper lodge]

if you pulse in space with at least one you can start quest line to get living ship

[quartz minnow]

They are void eggs

[stuck berry]

The anomaly part always happens when switching from a non-corvette to a corvette, it's just been a thing. The modules not connected error could mean that you placed something in it while it was pulsing, which could have glitched it very far away

[quartz minnow]

they are in my exp suit

[low onyx]

I imagine there are no solutions? 😔

[stuck berry]

If you don't have access to the PC version of the game to use a save editor, then possibly not

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

[stuck berry]

though I could be very wrong and it could just be a decal or something that failed to get cleared

[quartz minnow]

Can I use them if they are in my eco suit?

[proper lodge]

Yeah

They use automatically when you pulse

[stuck berry]

Yes, but as I advised it may be a good idea to place all except one of them in storage that can't normally be checked for by missions (non-primary exocraft/ship)

[quartz minnow]

Starship storage?

oh

[low onyx]

I don't know because to avoid problems I often modify my Corvette, so I no longer add decorative elements. Could the problem come from modules like the mission radar, the galley...?

[quartz minnow]

why?

Can I put in freighter storage?

[stuck berry]

It really can't be from those, unless you placed one while pulsing

[stuck berry]

It could use up the entire stack of them I think

or just bug out the mission

[quartz minnow]

Where do I put it?

[stuck berry]

The mission only expects one Void Egg, as it's normally hilariously costly to buy more than one at a time

[stuck berry]

As I said in the two prior messages, in one of your non-primary starships/exocraft

[quartz minnow]

how do I put in non primary things

[stuck berry]

so summon a ship or exocraft you don't normally use, place it in there, then summon a different one

[quartz minnow]

Oh

How do I take it out tho do I do the same?

[stuck berry]

Yes, just summon that other ship/exocraft again

[low onyx]

Okay, thanks for your help

[quartz minnow]

Aight

[stuck berry]

for exocraft, you will need to summon a different one after you do this to make it no longer the primary

[quartz minnow]

Well

Let’s go gambling!

[proper lodge]

Can freighter teleport into purple systems?

[winter phoenix]

Yes, but just like regular ships you do need to add the tech module for it

[proper lodge]

I didn't see any engine for purple systems in freighter research thing, how do i unlock it?

[spark canyon]

how is nms combat im debating whether or not to buy the game

[winter phoenix]

It's likely that you already unlocked it by the time you have any reason to ask this question. But if not, just finish the mission relating to purple systems

[main stone]

Do deep level mineral deposits (found with your scanner as hot spots) ever run out?

[proper lodge]

It has aim assist when you fight against other ships but you not need to necessarily use it tho it's recommended, when going against huge ships you need to destroy their engines/shields and etc, there's also things called sentinels, they like police but will attack you the second you do something wrong

[winter phoenix]

No

[proper lodge]

There's also predators on some planets and space horrors

[winter phoenix]

Very basic. You can win any space encounter by holding S and left click. And if it's a particularly hard one you can recharge your shield with a few button presses even mid-combat. I really like the game, but space combat is really not why you should be getting it. Better alternatives out there.

[proper lodge]

Orr just flee using pulse or special warp engine

[vital estuary]

Rebind target lock on a separate key from slow/reverse, it makes certain encounters much less of a headache.

[summer lantern]

Is there a material that'll make chromatic metal production via refinement?

[stuck berry]

All stellar metals can be refined into Chromatic Metal (which includes Copper, Cadmium, Emeril, Indium and Quartzite, as well as their activated variants refining into even more)

The "higher tier" stellar metals refine into more Chromatic Metal, with Indium and Quartzite being tied for the most

[summer lantern]

i meant, in 2 material refinement, if i can pair, in this case Emeril, with something to get more output from the input

like i know some operations you can add oxigen or carbon to improve output

[stuck berry]

Oh, yes there are

[summer lantern]

Ah, pure ferrite is prolly my best bet at the moment

thanks

[quartz minnow]

How do I get consciousness bridge?

[stuck berry]

By progressing the Starbirth mission.

[quartz minnow]

Nvm I got the recipe

[main stone]

Do i need to babysit a refiner in my freighter or risk losing the input/output

[stuck berry]

It is heavily advised to do so

If you don't want to wait, split the job between multiple refiners

[main stone]

Okay so it's not just my imagination that stuff I put in there has disappeared

[quartz minnow]

I have to use 24 hours????

how do I take care of the neural stem

[stuck berry]

Yes, there is a ~24 hour wait between each of the major steps of the initial Starbirth mission, a total of 4 waiting times. Subsequent Void Eggs after you finish the mission for the first time will skip the mission

[stuck berry]

Keep it in your inventory

[quartz minnow]

?

Subsequent void eggs huh

[stuck berry]

You can get more than one living ship

[quartz minnow]

Oh

[stuck berry]

by using another Void Egg, after you have completed Starbirth

[quartz minnow]

ok

they could have atleast made it a little less than 24 hours but ok

Do I leave the planet or do I stay

[stuck berry]

You can do anything that you want while waiting

the timer also progresses while the game is closed

[quartz minnow]

Do I have to go back to a monument to use the neural stem?

[stuck berry]

Probably not

[quartz minnow]

Hopefully I don’t have to do more 24 hour waits

[stuck berry]

Also note that the final step of the mission will require 12 of the 16 portal glyphs. The easiest way to unlock them is to complete the main story #nms-commands message

[quartz minnow]

(Hopefully..)

[stuck berry]

You will have three more after this

[quartz minnow]

I’ve done that and have all the glyphs already

[quartz minnow]

Subtle foreshadowing

[gray shoal]

After the organ matures the egg should point next objective

[cursive coyote]

after that one mission will i get my stuff back? ships, bases, units and all that i cant remember if it was like a full wipe or not

[stuck berry]

You never lose any of it, you can always teleport back to any previous bases. There is a bug that wipes your space station teleport list upon doing that mission, but this is unintended

[cursive coyote]

does that bug happen a lot or is it rate

[stuck berry]

I think it always happens, but not sure as I haven't tested anything, just have had to help people who have suffered from it

[cursive coyote]

okay, how far is that mission into the story

[gleaming kite]

I bought a multitool from a space station, is there any easy ti get the cabinet to refresh and load another multitool? I've tried landing on a planet and reloading the save. Do I need to warp to another system, reload save and warp back?

[cursive coyote]

oh wait i remember the issue i had very vaguely but this was long ago, i had to craft a "star" (?) or smth and i the resources needed me smth that i couldnt get i cant rmember what exactly it wat

[stuck berry]

Yes, Remembrance requires the Heart of the Sun from The Atlas Path. You aren't required to install it though

[cursive coyote]

ah thats right

so what was i doing wrong no way i was that dumb when trying to complete that mission. does it take a long time to get unstranded?

[stuck berry]

The cabinet will remain empty for you until you've done enough things since claiming that tool for it to forget that

[gleaming kite]

What would you install it into?

[stuck berry]

No, you can repair your ship instantly if you have the resources, or just summon another starship

[stuck berry]

Your Exosuit

[cursive coyote]

dude wtf was i having trouble with then i musta been dumb af

like i remember quitting the game cuz of that mission, lol

is it super far into the story? im at the part where it has me expanding base and hiring staff, do yk if im close ot it

[gleaming kite]

What's it's purpose?

[stuck berry]

It adds one Core Health, and allows you to interact with Remembrance terminals which are found aboard some abandoned space stations and some planetary buildings, they detail weird stuff

[cursive coyote]

and is it possible to find an outlaw system with stock warp drive? i want to go rob the freighters cuz i remember that being the method for units (i want to build a corvette)

[stuck berry]

It's at the very end of the main story, upon choosing to ||reset the simulation||

[cursive coyote]

alright thanks

and honestly i dont remember much so im not gonna click the spoiler lol, i gotta reexperience it lol

[stuck berry]

Yes, Outlaw Systems are not locked to any specific star color. You can see the economy and conflict data of star systems you haven't been to by having an Economy Scanner or Conflict scanner installed. You can purchase their blueprints from Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, of which the Economy Scanner is far easier to install

[gleaming kite]

There is no way to reset it? 😕

[stuck berry]

Not without playing the game long enough and doing enough things for it to forget that

[cursive coyote]

thankjs grouch

[gleaming kite]

What do you mean "forget"

[pulsar adder]

Are there any big glass walls or am I being stupid?

[paper yew]

Do translators work? I have all four installed, including the +3 and even short speeches aren't fully translated, like "Do you speak Gek?"

[stuck berry]

Saves have a part of them named "StoredInteractionData" which contains lots of random data like this. It's size is limited, so it discards the oldest entries when it needs more space

[gleaming kite]

Thank you. That now makes sense. I appreciate it. 🙏

[stuck berry]

There is this, which is probably the closest thing

[stuck berry]

They can translate words that you already know, and aren't too useful in general, they work strangely

[paper yew]

Do they only look at the top number?

Because I have the +1, +1, +2, and +3 installed and am only getting 3 words sometimes

[pulsar adder]

My whole base is alloy 😭

[stuck berry]

I just know that it caps at like 7, so all that's functionally useful is this (adjacency adds 2 more)

[stuck berry]

Then diversify it!

[paper yew]

If I have all of them installed, shouldn't I be getting at minimum 7 words of the sentence translated? In a sentence with only 4 words, wouldn't it get the whole thing?

[cursive coyote]

why am i losing standing with gek for attacking freighters in pirate controlled system>?

[pulsar adder]

Ill think of something

[stuck berry]

Because they do not like being attacked

[pulsar adder]

Balcony maybe? Are there railings me wonders

[crude apex]

if its gek then you will loose rep with the faction it is

[winter wolf]

theyre not pirate freighters, they still belong to the gek

[cursive coyote]

will it damage my playthrough to be hostile with gek? attacking freighters gives good money

[stuck berry]

Know that negative standing doesn't hurt anything, and you can reset any negative standing to 0 using a Forged Passport

[pulsar adder]

Im wanted in every vykeen system (they were carrying stuff in wanted)

And by wanted i mean they'll call me words i don't understand

[cursive coyote]

lmaoo facts bro freighters have so much stuff its free money

how much does it cost to build an entry level freighter im tryna save to build one

[stuck berry]

We cannot build freighters

We can only buy them from lifeforms after boarding them

[cursive coyote]

corvette i mean

[gleaming kite]

If I buy a new freighter, will my current build be transfered? Also, will I need to uninstall tech first?

[cursive coyote]

i meant corvette my bad man

[winter phoenix]

About 8 million units

[cursive coyote]

alright thanks man

[stuck berry]

Oh, you could spend 0 units by salvaging parts on worlds with Salvageable Scrap

[stuck berry]

Yes to both #nms-questions message

[gleaming kite]

Wouldn't most of the questions in here fall under that category?

[stuck berry]

Yes, why do you ask?

Oh, you misinterpreted the link I attached

This #nms-questions message is a link to a specific message that explains more about the thing you asked

[cursive coyote]

how can i make freighters keep respawning so i can keep robbing them

[stuck berry]

Pulse away in space for a few seconds, then stop

[cursive coyote]

ok then what

[gleaming kite]

Ahh, word. Not used to people being nice about "questions" in the wrong chat. Been absolutely obliterated for asking a question in the wrong room in other groups. 😄

[stuck berry]

Then wait in space, freighters should appear if there aren't any already loaded near you

you can see them on the holographic map in first person, as purple squares

[cursive coyote]

alr ty man

[stuck berry]

Wealthy and Outlaw systems have the highest chance to spawn freighters I believe, with Outlaw systems nearly immediately spawning both

[cursive coyote]

alr is there a trade terminal in outlaw systems to sell the goods or no

like on an outlaw station

[stuck berry]

Yes, the Contraband Agent aboard the station. Note that contraband will sell for far more units in regulated (non-outlaw) systems

[cursive coyote]

alright thanks man i appreciate the help

[gleaming kite]

Whats the coldest planet you guys have found?

[swift sand]

definitely never that cold, more like -150 F or so?

[stuck berry]

Only this, but I haven't experienced any glitches like that

[swift sand]

some kind of bug/glitch what you got there

conversion to celsius gets me everytime lol

[gleaming kite]

Asking the ol'interwebs doesn't say anything near this cold.

[stuck berry]

It's definitely a bug/glitch of some sort

[swift sand]

no, the value on your image definitely some kind of glitch

[gleaming kite]

Found it many years ago. 😄 I'm okay with it.

[swift sand]

😄

[edgy hatch]

holy hell that's so cold that the molecules gotta be boiling backwards

[gleaming kite]

Something like -3000 c. 😆

[stuck berry]

so cold that it's not how temp works at all

[swift sand]

yeah, nah, most i've seen is probably around -120 or 130, or something

oh grouch's -217

wait that's what, uh, -150?

no wait, 271

[gleaming kite]

It would be insta death as your ship crashes to the planet.

[stuck berry]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero lower than what's possibly in our reality

[swift sand]

yeah, dont think i've seen that cold

that's nice 😄

[cursive coyote]

can corvettes land on stations and do they have weapons and stuff like are they just starships but better?

[gleaming kite]

I've actually looked at this when I read the temp myself.

[swift sand]

nah, npcs cant fly corvettes

[cursive coyote]

i mean my corvette

like can it do the same stuff starships can

[stuck berry]

You can land them aboard all space stations, and alongside all freighters

[swift sand]

ah sure, sure

[cursive coyote]

alright yeah i def gotta get one

im so glad they added ships u can walk in thats soooo cool

[swift sand]

can upgrade them like regular ships too

[cursive coyote]

i have 15m now

that should be enough to make one

[swift sand]

a barebones one yeah, sure

[cursive coyote]

15m = barebones bro wtf

[swift sand]

well some parts cost near 2M

@cursive coyote remember that you can farm parts for free too

[cursive coyote]

wait how again

[swift sand]

@cursive coyote salvageable scrap planets

[cursive coyote]

alright

is it worth doing surely 15m can make me a decent one

better than the pillar default starship?

cuz thats what i have

[swift sand]

you can add more parts after it's built anyway

[stuck berry]

Also, you can only buy the basic selection of parts for units

most corvette parts are exclusive to being salvaged, or traded for using salvaged ones

[gleaming kite]

A bit buggy, but if you are board and want to make the colossus actually a colossus, I stacked 100 pieces of scrap in the large version of the exocraft. 😄 🤣 could have kept going but I got too tired.

[swift sand]

i mean, any ship can deal with anything in game after upgrades, so it's mostly a matter of preference too. but sure, if you put upgrades on it, even some of the corvette parts themselves give buffs, it might feel better than the pillar sure

[cursive coyote]

i still havethe starter ship

so i think ill try it

[swift sand]

the "starter ship" could be a beast, it's just a matter of upgrades really

ships dont come fully upgraded

[cursive coyote]

i want smth new tho

tbh

[swift sand]

@cursive coyote remember, can have up to 12 active ships, 18 archived once we own a freighter - probably wise to have a backup ship at least

cant archive corvettes though

[cursive coyote]

my pillar has like rocket launchers and a phase beam how can i get that for the corvette

[cursive coyote]

yeah i can have the pillar as my backup ig

[livid kayak]

Try to find yourself a sentinel interceptor. That will be a great upgrade to the pillar

[swift sand]

you can either install the corvette parts that give those techs, or install the tech blueprints yourself (after unlocked ofc)

[cursive coyote]

cant i just aggro sentinels then fly off

and they will chase me

or do u mean find an unmanned one so i can take the parts

[stuck berry]

You can't take them from the space ones, you can only claim the crashed ones on dissonant worlds #nms-commands message

[swift sand]

cant build sentinel ships; no, they just meant that sentinel ships are cool and you might want one some time

[livid kayak]

yeah, crashed one, so you can add it to your fleet

[swift sand]

yeah, see that link posted above

[cursive coyote]

alright

[livid kayak]

great overall stats, hoverability, and they often look like flying gaming mouse

[swift sand]

@cursive coyote remember, only 1 sentinel ship design (which includes color scheme) per suitable dissonant system

[livid kayak]

so if you find one, and you don't like the looks, you need to look for another dissonant system

[swift sand]

system

[livid kayak]

yeah, sorry

[swift sand]

(all good :))

[livid kayak]

i keep forgetting to buy this damn di-hydrogen jelly when i'm at the space stations...

[swift sand]

definitely a good one to keep on the radar

[livid kayak]

do you happen to know if it's possible for settlements to produce it?

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of, no

[livid kayak]

yeah, thought so

[swift sand]

can do frigate fuel, but not jelly

[livid kayak]

exactly

[fathom sequoia]

Anyone know how far into the main story (Artemis and/or atlas path) you need to get in order to basically be able to do anything in the game? (I just started over after a long time with save locked in normal)

[stuck berry]

Finishing it, and doing the stuff after

It's completion is required to begin the Autophage and Purple Systems missions that introduce you to those and unlock them #nms-commands message

Also, reaching the very end of it gives you all 16 Portal Glyphs, which are used to reach any planet in the galaxy you're in #nms-commands message

[cursive coyote]

how do i split a stack when trying to move it into things like generators and even more specifically salvage exchange

[swift sand]

if keyboard, pick it up, then press C (multiple times if needed) or mouse wheel

[cursive coyote]

thanks man

[fathom sequoia]

Got it thank you 🙂

[quartz minnow]

Uh

[gleaming kite]

Anyone know how many multitools can be in a systems "pool"?

[swift sand]

not counting royal, sentinel, atlantid - between 2 to 4 per planetary body

@gleaming kite to be clear, 1 pool per planet, 1 station/space pool, each 2-4

[gleaming kite]

How do I find the buildings that have the multitool on a planet?

[swift sand]

minor settlement? buy a bunch of commercial charts, start popping them (see attached flow chart)

[cursive coyote]

can i modify corvette after i finalize?

[livid kayak]

Yeah, as many times as you like

[cursive coyote]

my first corvette ima keep salvaging to get more stuff for it

[gleaming kite]

Does the item pool for the quicksilver shop change every time the current expedition ends?

[stuck berry]

No, it never changes beyond new things being added upon community research progress

things aren't removed from it

[cursive coyote]

oh well how do u get cool helmets then

[livid kayak]

they usually add some new stuff with bigger updates, but thats about it when it comes to changes. The old stuff will stay

[cursive coyote]

like new helmets that arent included by default

i didnt see them in appearance menu

[gleaming kite]

Where can I learn about the community research and what it's for exactly? I noticed that bar filled up.

[swift sand]

image: some are expedition rewards, others quest rewards, some have to be purchased, others even unlocked by certain objectives/rng in game

[cursive coyote]

purchased like irl money?

[livid kayak]

Some rewards will be expedition exclusives, so if you don't see them in your QS vendor, you might want to wait for the expedition to be re-run, or mod them on pc

[swift sand]

no, with in game currency/items

[stuck berry]

It's just a community-wide progress thing that counts nexus mission completions. Each tier reached unlocks a new thing at the top of the shop list

[gleaming kite]

By commercial chart, did you mean settlement chart?

[swift sand]

no, this one

[gleaming kite]

Ooooo yeah! Thank you!!

...just found a ship called "The Sleep of Death" 😄

[livid kayak]

the proc-gen names can be wild sometimes

[gleaming kite]

I love it!

[wind forum]

So apparently, if you portal off of your freighter while you have material processing in the freighter's refiner, that material is gone. 🙁

[stuck berry]

Yes, always expect items in refiners to disappear upon next load

[swift sand]

just babysit refiners while they're working, or if you need to leave, stop them and take resources out, continue later

[cursive coyote]

how do i dock my corvette in my freighter? it parks like outside the freighter not inside

[pearl urchin]

Anyone know if, on water planets, the underworld area below the map is also full of water, or is there a cutoff point for it?

[pearl urchin]

thats how u dock it

[cursive coyote]

then how do i get into my freighter

[pearl urchin]

corvettes dont fit on normal pads

its docked outside

u beam into it

[cursive coyote]

i flew into it using my jetpack

[winter phoenix]

Use the beam down button by the exit ramp

[cursive coyote]

and it like glitched me into the

roof

[pearl urchin]

and then theres a teleport area on the inside in the hanger

[cursive coyote]

alr

[pearl urchin]

thatll tp you out

[stuck berry]

Options > General > Reset Position in Freighter, if you are stuck

[pearl urchin]

I believe you can actually enter via the hatch but I think you need to have an exterior door in the freighter base

[cursive coyote]

ok

[pearl urchin]

but beaming in is usually way quicker

[cursive coyote]

alright thank you

[grim nebula]

Is one able to see a solar systems stats in the galaxy map with a living ship?

[stuck berry]

Yes, by having a Wormhole Brain installed

It's one of the random technology things you get from Psychonic Eggs #nms-questions message

[grim nebula]

Ok

Follow up are you able to craft psychonic eggs

[stuck berry]

No.

If you were able to, then that would be listed in the message I linked.

[grim nebula]

Oh mb

[supple flare]

If a person that doesn’t have purple star system access is brought to a purple system by another person in a corvette, what happens?

[stuck berry]

They will be left behind in the previous system

[tacit smelt]

im 6hrs new and found my 1st settlement, im constructing a shipping doc and its gonna take an hour, is there any way i can speed it up?

[swift sand]

@tacit smelt note, timer also runs even when game is turned off or another mission is selected

[tacit smelt]

ah

ok, thx

[modern token]

guys, what should i do if my switch 2 multiplayer is broken? i can only tell it's broken because no matter what i do, clicking view nms friends list gives me this

[swift sand]

step 1, try to restart home router

[modern token]

we've done that a few times since i've started playing again

i'll put it on my phone hotspot to see if that does anything though

[swift sand]

2. did you double check that nintendo online multiplayer subscription is still active?

[swift sand]

yeah, i sometimes suggest that, or on top of that, using a vpn

[modern token]

100%

[modern token]

oh okay

[swift sand]

proton has a free tier if needed for testing

[modern token]

okay putting it on my hotspot didn't do anything

and i have no clue how to vpn on my switch

switch 2 to clarify

[swift sand]

open the vpn tunnel on your phone, then connect switch2 to phone hotspot

[modern token]

ohhh okay

alright i've still got nothing 💔

i'm gonna check if i can reinstall without losing my save

[swift sand]

try to power cycle the switch/clear console cache?

[modern token]

how the heck do i do the latter

thank you gunther from the hit story driven cartoon network production adventure time

still got the same error message holy cow

it's persistent

i have to respect the error's determination

[swift sand]

when was the last time you were able to play?

[modern token]

i think about a year ago i was able to get online

it was on the same console and it worked fine

[swift sand]

so you dont see other players walking around in the anomaly?

[modern token]

nobody at all

[swift sand]

i'd suggest making a new creative mode save on the side, progressing awakenings to get alone amidst the stars and eventually anomaly access. then try rechecking

[modern token]

okay i'm seeing the bit with my clock being off

i think it is

i'm gonna try fixing that

[swift sand]

oh yeah, definitely, but i figured that'd be something console would keep in sync on its own?

[oak viper]

So I currently have a freighter and want to move the items off of it to claim a pirate freighter, but sadly it can't warp to my system, the pirate freighter won't stick around, right?

[modern token]

it does, but you can desync to speed up stuff in animal crossing lol

[swift sand]

nah. you could options/difficulty/inventory transfer range = infinite, if you dont have matter beam installed on your freighter. some more infos on freighter swapping: <#nms-commands message>

[swift sand]

ah, then definitely make that clock right first

[oak viper]

yeah, sadly never got around to a matter beam, and this is my first green system

[swift sand]

if you can, then difficulty settings

otoh, you could options/difficulty/hyperdrive system access=unrestricted

[modern token]

okay update, it worked and i see very many creatures, thanks for the help mr 201

[gleaming kite]

Found Alien multi tool in system/searching minor settlements/ finding only A Class for said weapon.

I've been to 15 so far, no S class for any settlements, should I keep searching in hopes of finding an S Class or something with a good supercharge stack or give up?

[main stone]

Is every crashed sentinel ship on a given planet, the exact same design?

[stuck berry]

In a given system, all visually identical

[swift sand]

personally, i'd just take the a-class and class upgrade it with nanites

[gleaming kite]

Yes.

[main stone]

Whack.

[gleaming kite]

Slots have been garb though.

[main stone]

Was hoping I can farm them on this planet and find different options

[gleaming kite]

Have to travel systems in hopes of finding something you will like eventually

[cursive coyote]

|| first meeting with the atlas, i selected system wipe and said yes to universal death. does this actually like ruin the story or anything lol ||

[stuck berry]

No.

There are not any choices like that in No Man's Sky

[cursive coyote]

alright thanks

do the choices matter

like did that choice affect anything later

[stuck berry]

no

[cursive coyote]

alright

[maiden sluice]

i finished expanding my base but the apollo quest isnt advancing. Do i have to do more stuff

[stuck berry]

Have you finished hiring the scientist and spoken to them?

If not, you have not finished what is needed. Track Expanding the Base and see what it tells you to do in the lower right

[gleaming kite]

Which quest do I follow to get the glyphs?

[stuck berry]

The main story, The Artemis Path (which goes by many names throughout it) #nms-commands message

[maiden sluice]

Yes

[stuck berry]

Expanding the base is finished too

[stuck berry]

And what does Ghosts in the Machine say to do?

[shell veldt]

something really odd is happening to my game, i completed my first void egg quest today, but when i am trying to complete my second, the quest wont show up and i have been pulse driving for some time now, anyone knows the issue? the second egg apperently moved to my starship and the first unused egg stayed in my inventory

the thing is i didnt try to bugg the system it happened that way

now how do i restart the quest if its stuck, i cant see it in my missions

[nova zephyr]

Is there any new strat to find deep ocean other than to just explore, Im in a purple star galaxy with my a friend on an ocean planet with 1% land. Any tips?

[ivory dawn]

help, i started the expedition by mistake, how can i get out of it??

[stuck berry]

Just check many purple systems, waterworlds are just another biome of planet that have extremely deep oceans. Separately, bout 20% of purple system planets have oceans that are 3.75x deeper than normal, making their depths have a similar vibe to waterworlds

[thick haven]

From the options screen, click "return to primary save"

[stuck berry]

Options > Return to Primary Save

[ivory dawn]

it says i need to get to the anomoly, i dont have a ship

[stuck berry]

You don't. Go to Options and select Return to Primary Save,

[thick haven]

Yes. It will say that. It's in the pause menu, it's just being dumb.

That's a message meant for after the expedition is complete, which is why it's telling you to go to the anomaly. You can quit the expedition at any time from the options/pause menu.

[ivory dawn]

thankyou, i was in the log menu 😛

[nova zephyr]

So we should divide and conquer?

[thick haven]

Speaking of the expedition, is everyone given the same planet to do it on, or is it pulled from a curated list of them? Because I found mine to be incredibly obnoxious.

[stuck berry]

All expeditions place players on the same planet as each other for that expedition, with the same route throughout the expedition

[dense rock]

How to make fucking message station go away? There must be atleast warning about this not be deletable

The thing what anoy's me most is never lasting bomb of messages

[dense rock]

Save Editor doesn't have option to do that?

[stuck berry]

There's most likely a way to remove it via raw json editing, and you can place one elsewhere so that it's uploaded version also goes away and that other one takes it's place

[dense rock]

Option 2 doesn't work what is really weird

I be going to json

Know id of message station?

This be propably laying somewhere in playerstatedata

[stuck berry]

I actually can't find any base object placement entries for communications stations, so idk
(They're called ^MESSAGE)

[solemn mango]

Hello everyone, new here. When I go to end the expedition is says I still have optional milestones available? But it looks like everything is completed and filled in, I'm not sure what I could be missing?

[stuck berry]

I don't recall any optional milestones in this one, so you could probably ignore that

Make sure you have claimed every milestone too

Including all 5 Phase Rewards and the Final Phase, though those are required to end it

[solemn mango]

I made sure everything that you could click and all badges were done, even got prompted that the expedition is finished.

Would this just be a bug then?

[stuck berry]

Probably, but I haven't heard of this happening so idk

[solemn mango]

Really?

[verbal laurel]

As I recall: the optional milestone was killing creatures with the shovel attachment

[dense rock]

I found this

Random text in id

Propably diffrent for other player\s

[maiden sluice]

Expand my base

[stuck berry]

Track the mission. What does it say to do in the lower right of the screen, when outside of menus?

[cobalt iron]

this is only for cosmetic

[stuck berry]

No, it isn't. You can plant crops in the two spots along it

[cobalt iron]

i need unlock i no see that option

[stuck berry]

You need the crop blueprints unlocked, yes

[solemn mango]

Any reason the expedition auto finalized after I clicked end expedition?

It didn't let me send anything back lol.

The game literally told me I needed to end expedition first before I could put things into the slots.

[stuck berry]

It was telling you that you needed to end it to forfeit the optional milestone, and then there was assumedly a true "end expedition" after that

[solemn mango]

No I reset my game and the thing for optional went away.

Guess that was a glitch.

[stuck berry]

Oh, then idk

[solemn mango]

So.

It happened to my friend as well, when he hit end expedition, it just auto finalized immediately.

I figure usually after you end expedition, you can place stuff in the spots, and then you can finalize after.

That's the usual experience one should have.

I am imagining.

[stuck berry]

You are normally able to place things in the slots immediately, unless optional milestones remain

[solemn mango]

No prompt for optional milestones came up after we launched back in.

[solemn mango]

Shovel attachment?

[solemn mango]

Oh well really, must just be bugged out or something I guess on my end. One last question though, is the ship that you can synthesize from this expedition anything special?

[stuck berry]

It's the ship that you had in the exped

which is just a random Hauler I believe

[lucid widget]

In abandoned mode, is everything still achievable albeit much harder to achieve. Are there items or other that you are completely locked out of by playing in abandoned mode?

[stuck berry]

You can't do any missions, including the one to unlock the Autophage

which also means that Atlantid Multi-Tools are also off the table I think

[south tartan]

Question:

Am I able to hop in my starship when the sentinel walker arrives, or am I forced to remain on foot?

[pearl urchin]

I’m pretty sure you can get in your ship whenever you want

It’s just

You’ll have sentinel interceptors after you instead of the walker

the walker itself might be able to do some damage to the ship before you’re out of range as well

The only thing I’m unsure about is how already having maxed your wanted level and summoned a walker would interact with the sentinel dreadnought spawn if you made it into space without losing your tail

[livid kayak]

Will i get any indicators/notifications if any of my settlement buildings get damaged?

[lilac plinth]

They don't get damaged.

[stuck berry]

This isn't a mechanic in No Man's Sky

Settlement buildings have no way of being damaged

Though their low-class visuals may look like damage/wear, but their class can never reduce

[livid kayak]

Ok, that's good to know, i was somehow convinced they added it in Beacon

Thanks

[earnest totem]

are player factions real

like what do they do

[stuck berry]

Not related to any true features, just groups of players that do things together #1418605454300549120

[earnest totem]

i get that, but ive always found multiplayer so buggy

i dont know what groups of players do together except build next to each other

[tiny dune]

what do i do

[stuck berry]

Interact with it and charge all 16 glyphs

[tiny dune]

okay

[main lotus]

Is it possible to find the lowest altitude on a planet via mods, or does the planet only render the topography that you explore?

[stuck berry]

At best, you could use mods to add oceans to all worlds, and lower the oceans to extremely low amounts which would reveal areas where those low areas are exposed from space

Planet topology/terrain shapes are deterministic, and therefore technically always exists. The game processes a very basic assumption of it to produce the space view where you can see where oceans are

[urban crypt]

Is it too much to ask for for a ing map!!!

[stuck berry]

Kinda

[winter phoenix]

Planets are procedurally generated, so it is entirely possible to calculate the properties of all the planets in the galaxy. It's how the planets are generated in the first place after all. But building a mod to do so isn't a trivial task. You could be the one to make it though!

[urban crypt]

The signal booster does that thing where it zooms out when used. Just turn that into an on-demand feature.

[winter phoenix]

You could suggest it to HG? Just telling fellow players to do it isn't super effective.

my pet thingy flew me into the planet what do i do

[stuck berry]

Get off of it to be snapped back up to the surface

[tiny dune]

okay

[stuck berry]

if you don't get snapped to the surface, possibly reload a prior save

[karmic vector]

You mean how deep is the ocean?
Well, what we do know is that there are no oceans deeper than about 114 (some say 134) in normal copper to indium) systems. Quartzite systems can have planets that go as deep as 1500u. Nothing is deeper than that.

[tiny dune]

omg yay

im okay now

never summoning that pet again

[stuck berry]

Regular ocean depths are 120u deep. "Deep ocean" planets (20% of all purple system planets) have oceans of 450u deep, and waterworlds are indeed 1,500u deep yeah

[urban crypt]

the game knows. records and wonders tracks the deepest ocean I think.

[stuck berry]

It only records the deepest depth the player has reached physically

[urban crypt]

it will ding a new wonder as I enter orbit though

[stuck berry]

Not for that one

never does

[karmic vector]

those numbers can be errored

[tiny dune]

how do i get rid of a pet i cant open anymore eggs

[stuck berry]

also, that record can be easily "cheesed" by glitching below the ground

[stuck berry]

Go to the companion register and hold the abandon button on a companion

or unlock more pet slots using nanites in the same menu

[tiny dune]

ahh okay

[karmic vector]

quickmenu, pet icon, open menu, hold down the delete button when select pet

[urban crypt]

i got a deepest ocean record in a prev expedition where, for some reason, my starship exited warp inside a planets ocean now that i think about it

[tiny dune]

i got a worm thing

[delicate imp]

Why do I not have

Frighter

Straight and L corridors?

Like they aren't even in the upgrade and research pannels on the ship

[winter phoenix]

See the icon in the top left corner? It means this is a category item. You can expand it:

[delicate imp]

Oh...

I didn't know that

Thank you

[delicate imp]

Man this is taking a lot of silver

[winter phoenix]

Grouped items like that also tend to be dynamic, so placing several together will lead it to connect and form things like L-shapes automatically

[delicate imp]

Got it

Also I've seen a bug

Like when going through doors

My character collides on something

As if something is placed on the ground

And I have to fly above it a bit to get through the door

Is this only me?

[tiny dune]

need to do more quests?

[tacit smelt]

im about 7 hrs in and have a settlement thats massively in debt (900k) ,but anything i try to upgrade brings their happiness down, and its already at 8%, the only thing that brings it up is upgrading the overseer office, but i cant, cause idk how to get a quantum computer. advice?

[tiny dune]

oh wait nvm

what happens when i die

in game

[verbal laurel]

Slowly upgrade whatever buildings you can. Early on: make overseer event choices that increase Productivity over anything else. Happiness can come later. You will eventually get profitable and erase all debt, and that point the settlement will create materials for your use. You can get the recipe for Quantum Computer at the Anomaly, at a station near the shark guy. You can also get the recipe from random Manufacturing facilities you can stumble across by choosing that reward.

[tacit smelt]

ok, thanks, and how doi get nitrogen btw

[verbal laurel]

You can also buy Quantum Computers at some trade terminals or random pilots.

You can get Nitrogen by crafting an Atmosphere Harvester, setting it on a Lush or Toxic planet, fueling it up and coming back later to pick up the harvest. You can build multiple. I build them right outside the door to the Overseer office on my Toxic planet Settlement.

[tacit smelt]

👍 👍 👍

thanks you

[tiny dune]

how do i warp to where my friend is

[verbal laurel]

Back out to Mode Select and join their multiplayer session, so long as you're on their friend list

The other method requires you to have Portal travel unlocked

[tiny dune]

okii

[verbal laurel]

Another option is to meet on the Anomaly, join their Group (party), and then when you leave the Anomaly it'll ask you whether you want to exit where YOU last were or where your FRIEND last was

[tiny dune]

yeahh ima do that

thank you :)

[proper lodge]

can tornado throw exocraft into the air?

[verbal laurel]

Good question. I don't know. I rarely use exocraft. Anyone know?

[tiny dune]

how do i find scrap on a planet

is there waterspouts and whirlpools?

use F and look for green icons with barrel

also you can use exocraft radar on C to find it

alright thank you

industrial waste??

whats a corruped drone

should i shoot it

if you like war 😄 then yes.

[tiny dune]

yeah i did hahah

i found a proper all water planet

how do i put a base thingy down

nvm

[frail turret]

can you land?

[tiny dune]

yeah i found some land in the water and placed it down

[frail turret]

if so, you will have to take a dive, to construct a submerged one

there is a tech that allows you to land on water too

[tiny dune]

yeahh i got the tech :)

[hollow moat]

i have items in my refiners in Freighter which i did not put there. i cant remove them either. How to fix?

[tiny dune]

how do i go to the next galaxy

[wheat cove]

Reach the galactic core and warp to it

[gray shoal]

Do main story

[tacit smelt]

h0w do i add more slots to my exosuit

like the modules

[tiny dune]

okay

[gray shoal]

U can buy 1 per space station

[tacit smelt]

im asking about the technology, not the cargo

[gray shoal]

Modules for exosuit are sold from traders

[tacit smelt]

no, like more slots to put the modules

[wheat cove]

Just select a tech slot when doing an exosuit expansion

[lean oriole]

yeah alot of people dont know you can do that, same applies to expanding ships

maxed my tech slots first by doing 2-1 (2 tech-1 inventory).

[plain scarab]

Hey guys, I always wondered. Are Pirate-Systems always Red when I turn the filter to conflice in the galaxy map?

[lean oriole]

also each star system you go to, you get 2 slot ugprades, station and anomaly

you can get more with save reloading but thats cheating imo

[river canyon]

Outlaw systems are all High conflict

[frail turret]

As far as empty systems are concerned, is there any "usage" for them, other than the aesthetics and/or the player really wishing to have a system for oneself only...?

[river canyon]

No

[ashen perch]

Does anyone have a set of aeron corvette parts I can get

[proper parcel]

im trying to put down a second large refiner inside the cuboid rooms and it is only snapping in 2 directions and will not go in the way i need i to how do i get it to face the right way?

[lean oriole]

does "set waypoint" in galaxy maps does not work for anyone else?
it does nothing.

[tacit smelt]

where can i find organic catalysts? i need 3

[wheat cove]

You craft them. You can learn the recipe at the Anomaly. You can also randomly receive them from frigate missions.

[tacit smelt]

okk, thanks

[acoustic rock]

I noticed activated indium isn't as valuable as it once was? Is there a new material to farm

[karmic vector]

gold is the highest value "clean" (no alteration) element you can mine.

[lean oriole]

I got mine looting manufactoring facilities

never had to craft them

if you want to make money, just farm sentinel ships. no need to repair, just claim and scrap them.

i can make 100m+ an hour easily.

[karmic vector]

Don't focus TOO much on mining for money; later game, money pours in from many sources even while you're offline. But by all means, build for the fun of building!

[proper parcel]

if your after units id recommend buyin multitools then scrapping them at anomaly. then when youve enough units buy spaceships and scrap them. both of these also give you mods you can sell for nanites

[acoustic rock]

I'm stuck on the glitched planet after traveling through my first portal.

I can't summon any vehicles, open the build menu, or use the portal that I came out of

Is this part of a quest?

[mystic dagger]

Iirc, you need to go back to your spaceship on foot to repair it.

It's a part of the main story quest.

[swift sand]

I can't summon any vehicles, open the build menu, or use the portal that I came out of
after you get portaled to a planet by that mission stage, it wont take more than a few seconds for you to get auto teleported out of there

you wont have to do anything

at that stage, game prevents it all - summoning, building, etc

[acoustic rock]

I think mine is glitched. The quest still says to ||share the burden of Artemis fate with nada|| but I've already done that and talking to her again, she just tells me ||I made the right choice||

When I go through the portal, it doesn't auto port me out, and when I walk down the portals path, it makes a sound like the stone is coming out of the ground, but it doesn't actually

[swift sand]

2. are you playing solo or with friends

[acoustic rock]

Solo

[swift sand]

3. if you reload restore point save slot in options menu, where does that lead?

[acoustic rock]

Back to the previous planet, when I hopped out of my ship before entering the portal

[swift sand]

good

[acoustic rock]

Re entering does the same thing

[swift sand]

4. see <#nms-commands message>: in short, let's use a different portal

anything else feel free to ping

[acoustic rock]

Amazing, didn't know about that, thank you!

[near scarab]

Wasn't there a different way to fix frigates damages without landing on each one and fix each one manually

[swift sand]

there isn't no

[near scarab]

Uhh sadge

[hexed kindle]

once you progress a bit more, aim for a fleet rating at least two stars above the mission's star rating and you're guaranteed none of them will take damage

[near scarab]

Oh.. good thing to know, and when frigates get better rating with missions, the chance of them getting damaged will also diminish?

[acoustic rock]

unfortunately the button to reset the quest is not appearing, and I am 100k LY away. Im wondering if this is because there is currenly no objective marker, the quest seems to be stuck in between the stage of going to the anomaly and investiagating null after telling nada aboutit

[hexed kindle]

correct, on the other hand if you are below the mission star rating it becomes more likely that your sortied fleet takes damage

[thick elbow]

hi. i need help from a pc player

i want a egg off a flying dino. its captured. i just cant tame it(xbox) it counts as biggest bird discovered for me

[swift sand]

show me what the mission tooltip lower right of the screen wants you to do?

[swift sand]

you'll have to ask around #nms-lfg-or-trades , or iirc there was a discord server where people would share animal eggs that cant be tamed in vanilla but i forget the link

[acoustic rock]

oh am i supposed to do first traveler first with apollo

[swift sand]

select the first traveller

what does it tell you to do

[acoustic rock]

locate a holo terminal to contact apollo

[swift sand]

go

[safe glade]

hi everyone, I have a question. I don't really get frieghters yet, however, I have a a class dreadnought that I rarely visit, I've just got the opportunity to switch to a regular s class, the stats are nearly identical but I've put some storage slots into the dreadnought already and that's pretty much the only thing I use from it, love the extra storage from anywhere. so, do I switch? does it matter to something? do I need to rebuild the rooms I already did in the dreadnought?

I guess I can't just add one like with ships, I only can switch, I don't really see a reason unless there's something beneath the surface for future use of freighters?

I mean that's 10 extra slots in the dreadnought, class is cool and the 3 adjacent super slots looks useful for something I guess, but don't really want to lose the storage

[urban crypt]

it will give you a chance to copy your exising base. which means the base carries over. if you unpack all your tech modules you can carry those over too. the only thing you dont carry over are any spent bulkhead modules (Storage upgrades).
they are not too much of a hassle to get so if youve spent less than, say, 20, i wouldn't sweat it. if you have... well then you need to really consider the extra effort in grinding out storage upgrades.
there are some shared systems where you can literally raid a freighter for its rewards in <5m, but still it can be a bunch of tiresome runs where you arn't getting the s class upgrade the system actually offers.

[safe glade]

oh, so I just pack every module I can, it transfers the base, then I can put back the modules, why not...
what do I do with storage though? I should move everything to my suit/ship?

[urban crypt]

the storage module contents? they are safe. its the freighter storage and freighter tech storage panels (only) that you will need to clear out.

[safe glade]

no I mean the current dreadnought storage, I have 44 slots and I think 42 of them are full

[urban crypt]

so pack everything you can into storage modules, your exosuit or a starship.

that page you need to store elsewhere

[safe glade]

I store modules I buy there and they take a lot of slots

damn, I don't have 40 slots... k but if it's worth the upgrade I guess I can lose some modules and buy them again later

[urban crypt]

i like to have a couple of (upgraded) cargo starships for long term storage of items that I want to archive

[safe glade]

yeee I just packed all of my ships to storage so I literally have one haha

and it's kinda full

[urban crypt]

well, unpack the ones with the most cargo slots and use them as a deep bank

[safe glade]

I can't do that on this ship though, no? and my dreadnought is in another galaxy

nvm, I'll clear some slots and move the important stuff, modules I can collect again not a real problem

[urban crypt]

you can leave and summon and land again. it won't fly away. i think.

[safe glade]

it's in another galaxy... I'll need to teleport...

I don't think I can summon it to here

[urban crypt]

you can always summon? or... oh, it lacks the hyperdrive.
galaxy doesn't matter. you can summon it anywhere you have the correct hyperdrive for. if you are in a yellow system you will be able to summon it regardless. unlike a starship i dont think a freighter uses, or requires, fuel to summon

[safe glade]

I think I got it in the other galaxy

I'll just clear what I can and collect modules again later

apparently I don't have that much stuff, I'll just take the augmentations, as much modules as I can and leave the rest there

thanks, I'll make the switch!

goddamn the suit is half stack

fak

[swift sand]

remember that we can switch between inventories here, the new freighter also has usable cargo slots to which you can push items to

[wheat cove]

FYI, you can upgrade your freight to have massive hyperdrive range, and the class affects the frigate missions, so it is worth upgrading.

I use my freighter for exploration warps and its planetary probe can immediately discover all planets in a system (unlike scanning from a ship, which is temporary until you land on it).

(by exploration warps, I mean gradually moving towards the galactic cores and discovering planets along the way)

[swift sand]

only way i see for a higher class freighter to have an effect on fleet expeditions are supercharging fleet upgrade modules or due to higher fleet coord, but it's not really going to be a huge diff from an a- to a s-class

not in terms of the ability to run fleet expeditions with ease

[wheat cove]

I was meaning the fleet coordination stat, yeah. It's minor, I agree.

[swift sand]

personally, the first question here would have been "do you like how the new freighter looks like more?" 😄

[safe glade]

that is great, I didn't even see that, I've just moved bunch of stuff

[safe glade]

couldn't care less for now, I don't actually see it, I just use the storage

[swift sand]

gotcha

[wind forum]

Is there a set cycle of expeditions? How often do older expeditions get re-launched?

[swift sand]

pattern is usually release 3-4 new expeditions in a given year, then rerun those same 3-4 at the end of the same year. they have rerun older expeditions off year, but it's not on a rotation

[swift sand]

A can be upgraded to 50+110, while s-class up to 60+120

[wind forum]

sad BrokenSamurai noises

Thanks for the info.

Would really like to get my hands on a starborn ship.

[swift sand]

unofficially though, if you're on pc, there's a way to rerun older expeditions offline.

[safe glade]

this was the most stressful part, I was worried I could lose all my stored ships... but they're ok...

[swift sand]

another player could gift you one

[wind forum]

I prefer not to glitch or edit.

[safe glade]

thanks, I've switched

[swift sand]

nah, that's tied to your save file

[safe glade]

good, more slots = good

[wind forum]

I need to find one of those generous souls. 😉

[safe glade]

so where best to get bulkhead? crashed freighters?

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , might also be able to use service bot https://nomansapp.com

[swift sand]

personally, i prefer derelict freighter missions with short layouts, and merchant guild envoys

[wind forum]

I'll give that a look. Thanks!

[safe glade]

I stopped going to these because it's mostly corvette parts which I don't want anymore

[safe glade]

oh yeah I remember these, I have couple of scanners I think, thanks, I'll get to it

[swift sand]

type !faq-inventory in #nms-commands , follow freighter link for more sources

[tiny vortex]

so ive been killing sentinels for 20 minutes now.....what im supposed to do to finish the sixth wave?

[safe glade]

got a nice exotic and s class freighter in one day, euclid actually rules.

[swift sand]

look around using visor, do you see any sentinel red dots?

[tiny vortex]

hmmmmm

[safe glade]

there supposed to be a huge walker robot but sometimes he doesn't show up, so save and reload otherwise it will be in this state forever

[swift sand]

@tiny vortex also, top right of the screen, how many red dots i.e. wanted level?

[tiny vortex]

i killed the huge walker, but goes on....and i have like 10 red dots or more

[swift sand]

so are you at wanted level 5 atm?

honestly, i'd drop wanted level to 0, and see what happens to mission hint

it may just be waiting for you to clear wanted level now

if that doesnt fix, then it's probably bugged and you'll just have to abandon this nexus mission

(save+reload will auto abandon)

[tiny vortex]

lvl 3

cant abandon, nexus mission

[swift sand]

@tiny vortex ok so just to be clear, this is a walker

[tiny vortex]

yup, the full boss

[swift sand]

continue dropping to 0

[tiny vortex]

got him when wave 6 appeared but then a swarm of a million of the small ones are busting my balls infinetely

now its like 20 small, 2 medium walkers 1 dog

[swift sand]

melee jetpack away, kite them - strong suggestion: next time you're in the anomaly, unlock paralysis mortar

[tiny vortex]

now i lost them for good

[proper lodge]

why my drone keeps saying glass?

[swift sand]

ok so just maintain that distance, while wanted level goes down

[swift sand]

"glass" has a strong relation to game/sentinel lore

[tiny vortex]

thats the only strategy i know in life xDD

[proper lodge]

yeah i know but i'm asking if he wants that or if he has functions other than attacking other sentinels sometimes and saying glass when i'm trying to interact with him

[tiny vortex]

while we wait......giant fosilized egg

[swift sand]

ah, no, that's pretty much all he does

beep beep

[proper lodge]

how sad

how often do storms appear on extreme weather planet?

[swift sand]

quite often

[proper lodge]

storm appeared when you said it lol

[swift sand]

in some cases, might even give you the feeling that it's a constant storm state, since they last long and not much interval

[proper lodge]

can tornado blow me away?

[tiny vortex]

a few days ago i experienced thunderstorm with fire and those mini hurricanes........first time i almost died

[tiny vortex]

horribly

dont panic and spend all your jetpack, it does not recover mid air as usual

[swift sand]

they literally come for you - if you're on foot, you'll certainly get picked up

[tiny vortex]

use you pack so you get to a height that nothing hurts you on hit , then wait

[swift sand]

yeah, dont try to use jetpack to get free

let it spit you out

that's when you'll need the jetpack

[tiny vortex]

and bury yourself like a mole if needed

[proper lodge]

yall acting like i already inside tornado

[swift sand]

that said.. they can be incredibly fun

[proper lodge]

sadly i'm not

[swift sand]

i've been in situations where i was literally surrounded - 4 or 5 of them, coming straight at me

and they do

it's not like they're just waltzing by and not noticing

i've seen them cross pools of water, to come meet me

[proper lodge]

is there whirlpools?

[swift sand]

nah

not yet atm

[vital estuary]

Ancient avocado.

[tiny vortex]

ruined the mistique lol

thats the walker

i think i see a medium walker and a small shielder left now?

[swift sand]

hmm

but were they part of those mission spawns?

if they were, then yes, you should take them out

[tiny vortex]

i think they are part of the pillar tbh

im too noob to notice yet

[swift sand]

take them out too

i know what you mean, the ones that spawn guarding the building, non aggressive

[tiny vortex]

never took one of those medium bastards, they scare me more than the walker

[proper lodge]

is there any other way to get colored warp engines for freighter outside the research?

[swift sand]

just keep straffing, and melee jetpacking around it laying down fire - take out the summoner on the left first probably

[swift sand]

complete in stellar multitudes quest, you'll get a tech called resonance matrix for free, freighter's atlantid drive, which lets it go to all star colors (purple, blue, green, red)

[vital estuary]

Normally those would be actively firing at you once you attacked the pillar, and yes that medium mech can be a bugger.

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[tiny vortex]

killed the small and a medium......started appearing more

[swift sand]

wanted level again? yeah, mission's just blocked it seems. drop wanted level again, then 1) make sure options/controls/combat auto follow is disabled, then try getting in your ship, take off, quickly land again

[proper lodge]

where to get gold?

[vital estuary]

Can get some from shooting asteroids in space.

Amounts do vary by system it seems.

[proper lodge]

which color for more?

[swift sand]

can also find a planet with gold on the list, more common in red star systems

[swift sand]

i guess that you'd want a system where there's lots of the crystal like asteroids

the other more bland looking ones tend to drop tritium

[proper lodge]

i don't need THAT much gold, just 100

[swift sand]

drop on a planet with water, find a armored clam, refine 1 living pearl

[proper lodge]

also, if i place exocraft bay somewhere can i summon it in another system/galaxy if i have summon thing with me and in my freighter?

[swift sand]

yes, if freighter is in current system, and geobay of that exocraft is built somewhere in the universe

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[tiny vortex]

ok....we good, boys. needed to kill those 2 medium walkers and dog.....

i dont have enough firepower i guess

[swift sand]

yeah, bit weird, sounds like you got some stragglers

[tiny vortex]

the main issues are the repairers...... change the whole thing

[swift sand]

got to prioritize in battle; also, remember my suggestion, paralysis mortar

while you're at it, also get voltaic amplifier

[tiny vortex]

multitool tech?? or are those weapons?

[swift sand]

para mortar is a secondary weapon attachment, an aoe stun grenade. volt amp buffs damage dealt to stunned enemies by any weapon e.g. boltcaster

can be equipped side by side, shot with alt fire

great cc, additional damage

can be unlocked from anomaly, mt research npc

[proper lodge]

i found a 2 legged tiger with a face of hipopotam

is there any benefits from taming pets?

why is there just random massive cube of earth? could something be in there?

where to get consciousness bridge?

[vital estuary]

Definitely a case where the paralysis mortar comes in handy, since it has an aoe radius so could hit multiple targets then pick off the high priority ones first.
It will interrupt the ones that summon in more enemies.

[proper lodge]

oh i see now

[tiny vortex]

that too, good data my friend, ill remind it

[vital estuary]

Is it just a big cube sitting on the surface?
Some planets have various features like that, cubes, circles, rings...

[proper lodge]

yeah

just massive cube of earth

nearly perfectly shaped

[gray shoal]

No 🇽 or 🔼 tho . Then it would be perfect for 2000s playstation comercial 😂

[vital estuary]

True.

[near scarab]

guys, i saw this gem that i want to buy bcz i think its an opportunity, but i have my corvette on me and if i go back to my freighter and come back to this other greighter i might miss it, is there a way to switch ships ?

[nova wyvern]

Buy it if you have room in your fleet

[finite cave]

how to find crystilised helium?

[near scarab]

i have room ofc, its just i want to swap my current ship to exchange it with that S class ship

[nova wyvern]

Only on gas giants, which are only in purple systems

[nova wyvern]

Oh well if you wanted to swap them do that

[lilac plinth]

Purple star systems or by refining quartzit with lithium.

[finite cave]

do they come as deposits?

cuz i cangt seem to find them, searched in 4 different purple ones

[lilac plinth]

They are in every purple system.

[analog scroll]

Gas giants are not in every purple system

[finite cave]

i dont think so, cuz i would ahve found one by now

does it show in scan? as deposits? or not?

[analog scroll]

Yes, crystalized helium shows as a deposit. It's on every gas giant.

You have to look for //Gas Giant on the system info card on the galaxy map, where it says //Dissonant on this one

[finite cave]

i see

thanks

[lilac plinth]

I thought i found it also in purple systems without a gas giant. But probably it was a titan.
How ever gas giants are easy to find. It's always a single planet with moons around. You can see this on the galaxy map.

[near scarab]

Guys i beat my first draught ship hehehehe
Should i claim it? (Its class B and my freighter is class A)
Or what should i do?
If i will face another draught ship in the future i might just demand tribute or go outside and continue destroying it

[analog scroll]

For the most part, outlaw freighters spawn on the same timer as normal ones. 3 hours played + 5 warps in your ship between events. The only difference is you have to have been through 2 battles on your save and have a freighter already. You will encounter more in your save. Taking one is entirely up to you. They have no inherent benefit over any other freighter type other than looks.

[near scarab]

Ah okay then, that's good information, i might just destroy it then, i don't really like its look anyways lol

[stuck berry]

Also, 20% of all Ouaw Systems and 10% of all High-Conflict Systems have a property that makes them spawn a Pirate Dreadnaught event every time that they're warped to via starship, if the player qualifies for their battles to spawn

[near scarab]

And which loot is better? The tribute or its destruction?

[stuck berry]

Tribute for units, destruction for a freighter upgrade (destruction after surrender gives nothing)

[analog scroll]

Don't destroy the engines for a better loot pool upon destruction

[proper lodge]

i found a planet with a immortal worm

[near scarab]

Uhh.. too late on that lol, but how can you destroy the ship of ones they get alot of dmg they will try to escape, that's why i destroyed the engines to prevent them from escaping

[proper lodge]

is sentinel ship better than normal?

[analog scroll]

"Better" is relative. If you, the player, like it more, then it's better for you. Any ship can be made to do anything you want it to with the right upgrades

[swift sand]

matter of preference really. they can be really easy to upkeep due to rad shards recharging any of its systems, they can hover inside planet atmos, they can use regular ship upgrades and techs too

crimson core has a very large hyperdrive range and efficiency buff

sentinel cannon gets buffed by photon cannon modules

[analog scroll]

Even with that, though, a maxed out explorer is going to have a longer warp range if that's important

[swift sand]

yeah

that's down to innate bonus on hyperdrive range, which explorer tops every other ship type

that said, with crimson core and 3 s-class modules, no supercharging, it'll have more than enough range for daily driver operations imo

[main stone]

Is the daily guild donation limit per system or per universe?

[swift sand]

per system

[errant belfry]

Hi everyone! I remember it used to be practically impossible to play this game with a friend, just that they were there, there were bugs in the storyline, and you couldn't combine bases. Is that still the case?And can he sit on my corvette and fly with me?

[analog scroll]

You cannot combine bases, and there are definite issues doing story missions in a group. You can ride on another persons corvette, but only the owner can fly it

[errant belfry]

I see, but what do you think, should I make a normal co-op, or at least a rights system, like owner, pass

[analog scroll]

You can't pass the rights to anything to anyone. Your base, your ship(s), etc.

[errant belfry]

ok, thank you!

[dreamy vector]

ok so I'm currently going through the second to last quest of the artemis path (||the purge||, the one to ||reach the center of the galaxy||) and i wanted to ask some questions before doing the big thing:

1. when should I ||change my ship/multitool/remove my tech? is there like a star system with whatever thing I have to enter to move galaxies or does jumping into it take me directly into a new one?||
2. how can i do to ||stay in the 1st galaxy after tping back through the spanom? I think it's possible but I also remember sometimes tping into another system through the spanom and later getting tp'd back to the previous one||
   according to the wiki there's some sequence you can't get if you ||refuse the atlas|| and I wanna see it so I want to do ||the reset||, but I still want to ||stay in the 1st galaxy||

[analog scroll]

There are no consequences to refusing. You can still travel to and experience every part of the game ||you just don't go anywhere and don't get any damage||.

[shrewd jolt]

1. ||swap just before warping to the center||
2. ||have a base in the first galaxy and dont warp to it until you make a base in the galaxy you go to so you can return to the next galaxy||

[severe crown]

Is there any logic to the exocraft radar? It certainly doesn't find the closest site you scan for.

[analog scroll]

||You don't go to the center during The Purge. Doing so does not progress the mission. The mission tells you to travel toward the center, adn even that is not needed||

[dreamy vector]

the wiki says if you ||refuse|| you don't get the sequence where you ||choose the next galaxy's type|| whenever you decide to finally jump. is that not actually true or what?

[lean oriole]

so what happens if I stay warping one direction? will i eventually warp into a new system or what?

ive been warping for like 10 mins now lol

[stuck berry]

That's true, but it's really not important

[dreamy vector]

yeah but i still wanna see it
