nms-questions

[swift sand]

join its home discord server, ask around there, there's an invite link in the page i linked

[quartz minnow]

Ok

[swift sand]

ask further questions about the bot there

[tacit smelt]

am i able to buy organic catalysts? if not, then 1) where do i get "radon" to make enriched carbon. and 2) where do i get sulphurine to make thermatic condensate.

[vital estuary]

Gas hotspots on certain planets.
Radon on radioactive or cold, sulphrine on planets with pyrite or phosphorus, might as well do nitrogen also, which is lush or swampy.

[swift sand]

1. possible to get organic catalyst from mission board rewards or merchant guild envoys (if you got the standing)
2. when i need enriched carbon/thermic condensate, small amounts, just 1 or two - i just hit a few sentinel depots. really easy to locate with a land exocraft and their radar tech or secure planetary charts

[tacit smelt]

is that specific to land exocrafts?

the scan

[swift sand]

yeah, nauti doesn't have it, but minotaur should iirc

[tacit smelt]

i dont see it on minotaur

[real turret]

just came to this 4sc sentinel ship location, and it had the harmonic stuff there, but not the ship?

[swift sand]

hmm, then yeah, use one of the others, guess i misremembered sorry

[real turret]

did the bases around it delete it somehow?

[swift sand]

save+reload right there, it'll pop the ship back on the ground

[tacit smelt]

i dont have any others,

[swift sand]

you sure you dont have roamer geobay?

[real turret]

oh ok with a save beacon?

or ship?

[swift sand]

or your own ship, if you lack the building perms

[tacit smelt]

uuuh, idk what that is, or i probably forgot

[swift sand]

open your build menu, first tab, scroll down

where your minotaur geobay is

[tacit smelt]

im like 10 hrs into this game

[tacit smelt]

.

[swift sand]

roamer geobay costs like 4 salvaged data in the anomaly - you'll also need some nanites for the base radar tech for them as well, radar array from minotaur wont work

[winter wolf]

sorry im not understanding the file location for steam saves on !faq-savefiles. i get this is a subfolder but... of what?

[swift sand]

on steam?

[winter wolf]

yeah

[swift sand]

press&hold win key, press r, in the run dialog type %appdata% - drill through the mentioned subfolders till you get to NMS; copy/backup st_XXXX folder

[winter wolf]

OH

[swift sand]

%appdata% is a windows environment variable that points to a path in your storage device

[winter wolf]

im trying to make a backup of my save. i know odd-numbered files are one kind, even-numbered are another. idr which is autosave and which is manual, but i assume i only need to copy one of them to keep as a backup right?

[swift sand]

odd is auto, even is restore point

[fervent halo]

is it 5 warps until you get a capitalship or 5 warps and 3 hpurs

[swift sand]

i'd copy all, including accountdata files

[swift sand]

3h of cumulative unpaused gameplay and 5 ship warps since last battle

[fervent halo]

everything takes forever vro

[winter wolf]

you have forever to play the game, so it should fit into your schedule

[swift sand]

just keep playing and progressing, just always exit ship in station before warping out till next battle - time passes more quickly when we're having fun, and it is cumulative through multiple sessions too

[fervent halo]

so since my last rescue battle?

[winter wolf]

should i just copy everything dated to my last save? the accountdata file is 3hrs earlier

[swift sand]

yep

[full thorn]

How do you trade with other players?

[swift sand]

personally, i'd backup all - as in, i'd backup the entire folder, like, zip it

[swift sand]

approach them, open inventory, cursor over item, press quick transfer

[full thorn]

Thanks

[winter wolf]

oh i see. i have other saves that i didn't care to backup but zipping the whole thing is probably the best bet. thx

[swift sand]

i totally get that yeah. okay so, if you know for sure which pair you need to backup, copy those two, their corresponding mf_*.hg files, and *accountdata.hg pair

the mf files are checksum/metadata - you want those too. and accountdata holds account wide unlocks like quicksilver purchases, so always worth having that backed up

[winter wolf]

(sorted by date modified) so pretty much all of this, in 2026

[swift sand]

yeah, save7+save8 are 1 single char (in the main menu iow)

and then accountdata ofc

save6 would be the restore point of some other char

[winter wolf]

right, was just showing that to show thats all the 2026 files. i think i got it. thanks

[swift sand]

yeah yeah

[full thorn]

Where can I find AI valve ?

[swift sand]

drops when scrapping a ship with a scrap value above 12M

[full thorn]

Oh I see is it hard getting that value ship I started 1 day ago

I’m still doing the landing pas qu’est

[swift sand]

1. there's lots of ways to making units in the game rn, you dont really need ai valves - i can give some suggestions if you'd like, but feel free to type !faq-units in #nms-commands
2. not saying you cant, that's up to you ofc, not judging or anything, but if you were going to dupe ai valves just to get cash, might as well just options/difficulty/purchases=discounted or free
3. well, there's plenty of game knowledge you dont have yet, and so it might feel overwhelming, need to learn some little side bits of info that arent directly related but are necessary. i'd probably suggest holding off on that for a bit, with the ship type i have in mind (sentinel)

[random jewel]

anyway to get the atlas corvette pieces? missed the expedition

[swift sand]

get a few stacks gifted by another player, or unofficially unlock them (most ways are pc only)

[random jewel]

alright thanks

[quartz minnow]

Why is my ship transparent?

[swift sand]

sounds like a bug

[quartz minnow]

How do I fix this

[swift sand]

yep totally a bug

[swift sand]

have you tried to save+reload?

[quartz minnow]

Im doing it rn

[alpine ember]

i cant select Graphic Card in game , im using Laptop and Uninstall Battery now im playing while plugged

any one can help me fix it

[quartz minnow]

I did it and now my freighter fused with my ship, I am currently somehow driving my freighter

should I be concerned?

[swift sand]

run dxdiag.exe /dontskip, ignore driver sigs, press save all info, post resulting txt in #964865106334875698

[swift sand]

lol i dont think so, just warp out

[full thorn]

Thanks

[quartz minnow]

My freighter came with me

I think I just saw the 6th dimension with my own eyes

[swift sand]

lol, but what's happening now?

[hollow girder]

how do I get the greyed out Corvette Parts?

[stuck berry]

Salvage them from salvageable scrap worlds

then trade them for each other at the terminal

[quartz minnow]

I am currently In the 6th dimension

[hollow girder]

so, i go to the worlds? get the salvage, then bring it back here, and within this i can unlock them??

[kindred iron]

Is there a way I can use a save editor to edit my difficulty settings I previously locked

[stuck berry]

You can either use the parts, or trade them for other parts that you want, yes

[swift sand]

pretty sure the answer to that is yes

[kindred iron]

Okey dokey

[hollow girder]

so what is salvage data used for?

researching upgrades?

[stuck berry]

Unlocking base building object blueprints aboard the Space Anomaly

[hollow girder]

okok

so i find a planet with Salvageable Scrap, get it, then trade it in for the corvette parts I want.

[cursive coyote]

story mission patterns in time

speak to a vykeen catrographer

I spoke to him and selected ask for help and went through the dialogue the quest isnt updating

[stuck berry]

Are you in a group? If not, go to the galaxy map and go to the specific system that the mission points to

[stuck berry]

Yes, or get lucky and get the ones you want in the first place

[cursive coyote]

alright thanks

[stuck berry]

Also, functional modules trade for higher value than cosmetic things

[hollow girder]

ok

so this does not update?

it stays like this indefinitely?

[stuck berry]

That is all of the modules able to be bought for units

it is a limited selection

[hollow girder]

ok, so when I unlock more, they will appear here

[stuck berry]

no

You don't unlock corvette modules, you get them and then place them which consumes them

or trade them for other modules, which are also finite

[raw pelican]

im doing the 16 gliphs grinding and for the first ones 1 and 2 u gotta be at spacial station and look for some hologram dude i got the first one but the second one not spawning

some advice?

[deft current]

What file (on Steam PC) do we delete to get Mods to load again..?

[stuck berry]

http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 GCMODSETTINGS.MXML

[deft current]

Tyvm, will try it.. 👍

[deft current]

Worked, tyvm! btw, when a Mod crashed NMS and the popup says to disable the Mod, is there a Log file created telling which Mod(s) crashed NMS..?

[stuck berry]

no.

also, that error appears whenever a crash happens with mods installed.

it does not indicate if mods were the cause of the crash

[deft current]

Ohh, ty again sir!

[cobalt iron]

hi

i made a new Corvet ( new )

But, how i select the old

i find it, nm.

[severe crown]

That reminds me. I made the basic corvette (just the tutorial parts, essentially) and flying it seems awkward. The targeting circle is way up high on the screen for some reason. Is this normal? Depending on ship design?

[main stone]

Farming sentinel ships, if i find a design i like but it's C, i could upgrade to S with nanites.. Does that give my the same supercharged slots as if i went back to the system i found it and tried to farm an S version? It's in a pirate controlled system

[stuck berry]

No

Sentinel ship SC layouts work different from all other ship types, their initial SC slot placement is based on the crash site, but the placement of slots added via class upgrading is based on their seed (their visual design)

Multi-tools work this way too, but with their cabinets

All other ship types have their SC slot layout fully consistent with their seed (their visual design)

[main stone]

So what's the way to go for this one, if that's possible to even know

[ivory dawn]

hey all, in the emergence redux expedition, i am at the "Commune with the Atlas" part of the Phase 5, i cant get the atlas path to show in the galaxy map

[summer lantern]

In which other location can flora and minerals be hiding? I think I found every possible one of each on surface, underground, and at sea

I'm missing 4 flora and 3 minerals

ok, 3 flora now, cave marrow was one of the missing ones

[latent lodge]

I noticed faction reputation numbers go above and beyond Rank 8 /100 Total points? Do you still benefit (like the discounts) from the increasing numbers beyond?

[timber niche]

nope

the discounts are just based off rank /tier

after the max one you gain nothing other than number go up

[lofty dirge]

how many settlements can you have?

[latent lodge]

Thanks. 🙂

[verbal laurel]

You gain a buffer for accidentally/purposefully destroying civilian freighters/traders in that faction's space.

[ivory dawn]

if polo says he has sent the atlas coordinates to my ship computer, why cant i see the path to atlas??

[summer lantern]

is it in another system?

[ivory dawn]

no, i'm at phase5 of the emergence redux expedition "into the red",

[summer lantern]

is it for the checkpoint?

[ivory dawn]

no i need the synthesiser plans for the next part

[summer lantern]

oh, redux expedition, thought it was the last one. Out of my experiece, sorry

[ivory dawn]

ok np 😛

i'll try reloging maybe that'll wake it up?

[tiny dune]

i did it im finally in the next galaxy

[verbal laurel]

How do you do past expeditions?

[steady trench]

I build something with heart of sun, is this doing something or it is just for nothing

[timber niche]

save file editing if ur on pc

you can trick the game into thinking the expedition is still active

& theres a website you can use to generate the file to put in the game folder to enable it

[verbal laurel]

Neat. Sounds risky, though.

[summer lantern]

how many big chests can there be in buried ruins? I found 6 keys in total but only 1 big chest

[timber niche]

its not zero risk but yeah probably smart to make a copy of ur game save files before messing with them

[summer lantern]

is there a way to swap active multi-tool, or if you swap it you lose the old one?

[frail turret]

Every ruin provides (eventually): 1 large chest, 6 keys (you use 3 to open the large chest), 3 gravitino balls and some Si that come out of all that digging...

[gray shoal]

U can carry 6 mt . Use quick menu

[tropic ginkgo]

if I remember right, four

[summer lantern]

thanks

[summer lantern]

bit redundant to have so many keys, but alright. thanks

[frail turret]

Hmmm.... I guess after you can go straight for the large chest the second time around (there is only one ruin mapping). This would gain you some time...

[summer lantern]

makes sens,e, tho i'm not sure 3 inv slots is worth some intuitive digging

also, is there a purpose to grouping similar tech? I see they get matching borders when grouped together, but does it have a practical effect?

[tacit smelt]

where can i get enormous metal cogs?

and superconductor fibre

[gray shoal]

Its a type of trade goods. Check space stations.

[tropic ginkgo]

adjacency bonuses

[summer lantern]

is there a way to see what the bonuses are?

[tropic ginkgo]

you hover over each module to see its percentages?

[dreamy forum]

this seems to be a bug, any character created on the expedition 21 (I tested with a second one) will have its display name in the spaceship with hello games instead of the steam ID.. changing names on steam didn fix it has well.

Does anyone know how to fix this

[proper lodge]

does sentinel ship recharges it's warp engine passively or take less warp fuel per warp?

[tropic ginkgo]

https://app.nmsassistant.com/catalogue-item/tech233
well no but actually yers, 200% efficiency per cell compared to other ships, no recharge

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[untold cove]

So im on a space-station and i wanna know which spacestation I am on - or even what planet I am on.... where can I see this information?

[lilac plinth]

Go to the discoveries menu. It's the option button on PS.

[untold cove]

hmm

[untold cove]

thanks mate, turns out i can use my analysis visor and it will show me on the left side

im so dumb, lol

500 hours deep and im still learing

[proper lodge]

most space stations are named after the system they in as i know

[untold cove]

yeh, true

[lilac plinth]

Ah yess

[untold cove]

thanks ♥️

[tropic ginkgo]

can also just open the station teleporter

[tiny dune]

what?

then it says this??

[hexed kindle]

it's an open ended quest reminding you what you can do in the anomaly

[hexed kindle]

you can select another mission in the quest log if you want to have something else in place of this

[tiny dune]

so im done with that quest??

im so confused

[hexed kindle]

yes, there's no way to progress further in this quest

[tiny dune]

ahhh okay yayy

so is this one done??

[hexed kindle]

exactly yeah, it's telling you you're done with that line of the quest

[tiny dune]

ohh nice

so the only main quest now is atlas

atlas path

[delicate imp]

i have completed autophage questline but i still cant see the purple/ gas giants on the star map

can someone help

[hexed kindle]

correct, once it reads 'atlas eternal' it will do the same thing as what your other quests are doing, except you can always go show something new to the atlas

[tiny dune]

ahh okay thank you :)

[hexed kindle]

it's a bit of like a postgame if you will

[rustic zealot]

Forgot the bot command, but got it screen shotted

[delicate imp]

hmm

i have done atlas, artmis and they who returned quests confirmed

but idk how to trigger in stellar multitudes

i remember seeing a purple orb in space

but i dont have any quest of that name

[rustic zealot]

Supposedly you just have to pulse. (I haven't done the quest yet tbh)

[delicate imp]

but i pulse all the time

maybe i just completed atlas one so

lets try again

[rustic zealot]

Maybe not long enough?

[delicate imp]

maybe...

alrigt lets give it a try

[rustic zealot]

Best of luck mate

[delicate imp]

Omg

It happened

Thank you sm! @rustic zealot

[rustic zealot]

Yay

You're welcome

[distant reef]

i have a small question thats probably dumb to older players, is there a reason my upgraded rewards for scanning unknown flora and materials isnt giving me the correct amount?

[lofty dirge]

what correct amount?

[rustic zealot]

Some generic rocks and the cave mushrooms (forgot the name.) usually gives the basic amount of units like 200-500u

[distant reef]

i have the scanner rewards upgrade and when i scan a new object it says i should get 13,000 nanites or somewhere around there

[rare heath]

units, not nanites

[distant reef]

wait

i actually didnt see that omg

[rare heath]

you get nanites when you upload the scanned items, but scanning things gives only units

[distant reef]

i thought i saw the nanite symbol but i guess not

oops

thanks for the clarification

[rare heath]

np 🙂 there are other ways of earning nanites fast, like runaway mould farming

[distant reef]

i have looked at those options but as of right now the only thing im in major need of is frigate upgrade modules nanites were never an issue

[tropic ginkgo]

max guilds, get one per system in a region for free

[distant reef]

ah

thank you that will help

[tacit smelt]

am i able to turn crystal sulphide into sulphurine? if not, how do i get it? im on a planet that says it has "sulphurine"

[tiny dune]

how do i find a monilith with my exocraft

[rare heath]

Do you have the scanner upgrade that lets you scan for alien buildings/ruins? It's the rightmost scanner thing in the quick menu.

[tiny dune]

i have exocraft radar

[rare heath]

you need a gas harvester to harvest gases

[tiny dune]

is the alien scanner in the anomoly shop?

[rare heath]

Yes

[tiny dune]

ahh okay

[proper lodge]

Can someone make up random question, i'll ask it and you answer it? I ran out of questions i can ask

[rare heath]

also, if you have unlocked it you also need to build it as a tech module on your exocraft

[tacit smelt]

whats the module called to detect gases, and whats it installed on?

[rare heath]

you first need an upgrade to your visor to scan for deposits, then you need to build a base computer and then build the gas harvestes, I believe you need to unlock those in the anomaly

[proper lodge]

As i remember it's on visor and i forgot about the name

[tacit smelt]

in the anomoly?

[karmic vector]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Survey_Device
anomaly, tool upgrade vendor

[rare heath]

Survey Device for multi-tool to detect gas deposits, unlock gas harvester building as well, both are unlocked in the anomaly, though I believe maybe the survey device is also main mission unlocked

you need gas harvester and some other building block, a tank of sorts, I forgot the name of it

[tacit smelt]

thank youuuuu

[karmic vector]

you can also use the base part called "atmosphere harvester" to get a simple extraction, but you need to stay in the system to keep it working and it's easy to lose, so mark it with a save beacon, or stay nearby,.

[rare heath]

you can also build a certain machine on your freighter that will passively gather gas while in orbit, which gas depends on color of system if I'm not mistaken. It is slow though, you're better off building a gas harvester

[karmic vector]

make sure you're on a planet that lists "phosphorus" or "pyrite" as a collectable resource. There have been reports lately of some quest (im not sure which one) sending people to the wrong planets.

[acoustic rock]

Are derlect freighters via planetary charts the only way to find freighter modules (tech tree currency)

[tiny dune]

are monoliths only on certain planets

im really not having any luck here tbh

[rare heath]

no, monoliths and portals are on every planet

[acoustic rock]

They should be on any akaik. Grab an alien planetary chart from any cartographer on a space station and it'll pin it for you

[rare heath]

you can get them from guild rewards, and frigate missions, as well

[tiny dune]

ohhh okay

[tropic ginkgo]

no
derelicts in space + frigate missions + guild envoys

[rare heath]

and I would advise you to prioritize guild ranks, there's good stuff from the higher levels there
most guild rewards are free, though they usually have a material that is sold at a discount as well

[stark schooner]

Hey Guys i have a living ship- how do i Upgrade it? Pls help

[river canyon]

#nms-questions message

[stark schooner]

Thanks Bro

🍀

[tacit smelt]

can i mass craft stuff? instead of holding and letting off akey every time?

[acoustic rock]

Yeah I noticed you can donate now which is reslly cool

[river canyon]

Yes, when you select an empty spot to craft in you can adjust how many you make, the popup will show the keys needed for whatever platform

[tacit smelt]

omg, thank you so much

[karmic vector]

No monoliths in uncharted (no race) systems.

everywhere else has them

[rare heath]

ah, that makes sense since monoliths require a donation of the system-race's relic

[tiny dune]

tbh idk what that means

oh wait nvm

i do know

[karmic vector]

Portals though are on every planet. Easy way to find it is to either join multiplayer, or to portal TO such places

You can get the adress anytime by entreing photo mode and clicking around a bit

[tiny dune]

ohh okayyy

[rare heath]

every monolith will present a "riddle", you have to answer it in lieu of the dominant race in the system, Vy'keen prefer violent, destructive, strong, honorbound responses, Gek prefer profit, trade, gain, and Korvax prefer learning, peace, observation, understanding
then after you answer correctly you can talk to the monolith once more, donate a relic appropriate for the dominant race in the system, and get a waypoint to a/the portal on the planet

so make sure you have at least one each of Vy'keen daggers, Gek relics, or Korvax casings in your ship, and you should be ready for any system

[tacit smelt]

ive been looking for a sulphurine hotspot for like 30 minutes and i havent found one, am i doing something wrong? im on a sulphurine planet

[karmic vector]

As mentioned, some quest has been sending people to planets that don't have it.
But remember that it's a GAS not a mineral. It will not be listed on the planet resssources.
What quest are you on?

[stuck berry]

You should absolutely be able to find one, given you are on a scorched, barren or red planet

[tacit smelt]

im not doing it for a quest

[stuck berry]

Regardless of quest

Quests don't transform the gas present on planets

[tacit smelt]

im trying to make organic catalyst

[karmic vector]

what is the listed materials for that planet then? Does it list pyrite or phosphorus?

[stuck berry]

Bug, ignore that planet or seek its mineral hotspots with it

[karmic vector]

there's a problem with that. Are you running mods?

[stuck berry]

Vanilla bug

Affects all planets that are supposed to have mordite

[tacit smelt]

nah, i just started playing, i selected normal, im about 20 hrs in

[stuck berry]

Been present since wp2

[karmic vector]

there's a problem with that planet. Find a planet with phosphorus or pyrite.

[tacit smelt]

do those give sulphurine?

[karmic vector]

it will not list sulphurine, but pyrite/phosphorus planets all have sulfurine as a gas

[stuck berry]

Those planets are the only ones that are supposed to have sulphurine, and they always have it

[karmic vector]

you will find BOTH oygen and sulphurine on them

[tacit smelt]

THANKS, i was just about to ask about radon

[tacit smelt]

do all those show up on pyrite/phosphorus planets?

[karmic vector]

Radon, you look for DIOXITE or URANIUM listing.

[stuck berry]

No. Only sulphurine and oxygen

As we have described before

[karmic vector]

Nitrogen you look for Paraffinium or Ammonia

[tacit smelt]

what about radon?

[karmic vector]

#nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

Look for worlds that list Dioxite or Gamma Weed

[tacit smelt]

2 completly different answers from u 2

[stuck berry]

both are the resources of those biomes

[karmic vector]

both valid.

[tacit smelt]

ok thanks

[stuck berry]

though dioxite also appears on "blue" planets which is more generally accurate for seeking Radon

[karmic vector]

Just depends if you think element or plant 😄

[stuck berry]

Both the plant and the biome mineral are tied to the biome of the planet, which is also what the "biome gas" is tied to

[karmic vector]

you will never, for example, find frost crystal on any planet that doesn't have dioxite and radon as well... unless some fool traveller has planted some on their base.

[proper lodge]

What is frost crystal? Like storm crystal but only appears on planets with snow storms?

[stuck berry]

No. It's just the plant resource of frozen worlds.

[karmic vector]

its a plant

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[karmic vector]

appears on all frozen worlds

[stuck berry]

Like all other plant resources, there is also a version that can be planted within your base

[karmic vector]

well all normal frozen worlds 😄

[proper lodge]

What are star bubble, gama weed and etc made for?

[stuck berry]

still all frozen worlds

[proper lodge]

And also why cultivation room looks like corner? Is there more cultivation rooms so i can make one big room?

[karmic vector]

various refiner and nutrient processor recipes.

[vital estuary]

There is a bunch of crafting recipes that use plants.
Some cooking options for them too.

[proper lodge]

Alright, what cooking useful for outside of selling for little money?

[karmic vector]

yes, you put more cultivation rooms side by side and they lose the walls. also biological rooms will work the same

[stuck berry]

All freighter rooms have their icon in the form of a corner

but all of them can be placed next to rooms of the same type to make a larger space

[mystic lake]

should I keep this or swap it for a S class multitool I found

its the only staff I own

[karmic vector]

some cooking also gives you "boosts" or benefits to things like running speed, jetpack duration, and so on

[vital estuary]

The base bio domes hold 16 plants and have a handy harvest all interaction point, another option from growing plants besides the freighter.

[karmic vector]

Can't answer that. You need to decide. But if you DO choose to discard this staff, I highly suggest you take the SCANNER item from it first (you can pack up technology) and keep that.

[mystic lake]

ah ok

[karmic vector]

You cannot get this item any other way than on staff, and you need it for the questlines

you can MOVE it to a multitool

[stuck berry]

You get the blueprint from the mission, to build on all other Multi-Tools

[karmic vector]

Ah do we?

I always just salvaged off the staff 😄

[stuck berry]

It's blueprint is expensive though, requiring 190 Atlantideum, 1 Living Glass and 1 Quantum Computer

[vital estuary]

It comes in handy for finding some things...
Also seems to be one that isn't given on abandoned mode despite purple stars being unlocked...

[stuck berry]

Yes, as Autophage lifeforms are not present in abandoned systems I believe

their existence isn't really related to purple systems' existence, besides both being related to dissonant stuff

[vital estuary]

Need that tech for Atlanteon multitools to be found.

[stuck berry]

No, you need to progress the mission They Who Returned to unlock the ability to extract Atlantid Multi-Tools from Korvax Monoliths

You can extract them without the tech with that mission completed (the tech isn't related to locating them), and having the tech without the mission will not allow you to extract them

[vital estuary]

Abandoned mode does not have the story enabled, and getting that blueprint was about the time you could start interacting with that bit on the Korvax monoliths.
Always figured that scanner addition was what was tied to it.

It was either overlooked, or intentionally left out of the mode.

[swift sand]

left out

no npcs, no story to progress through

otoh, they included purple star system access

[swift sand]

check nutrient ingestor exosuit tech, a pinned post in spoilers for recipes if you'd like - that's where it's at now 😉

~30M for a single fauna scan? yesssss

[lost raptor]

Hello. Is anyone in the mood to help me understand what just happened in game for me? It may require some patience.

I am pretty sure it was Atlas Related (The Big Red Ball). So I guess it is a Lore based questioning.

Anyway... I found myself starring at my to do list above the missions it said something like Path to Blah Blah... I can't remember exactly. So I finally decide to finish this mission to clean up my to do list and found myself standing at a portal (of which I have been to before and experienced strange and unexpected things ).

So I go through the portal and land in another galaxy on a a new planet. Every thing is broken. My suit, My tools, My ship....

[stuck berry]

That's normal for the ending of the main story (The Purge), but it should have brought you to the interior of an Atlas Interface to give you choices

[lost raptor]

Long story short. I am now in a new place. and find myself wanting to go back home. but I did think ahead ... I built a base on this new planet in a new galaxy before I went back home.

[wheat cove]

As I understand it: ||The Atlas terminated your Iteration and generated a new one.|| ||You died and were reborn.||

[lost raptor]

Oh Hi Gouch ( that sounds weird to call you a grouch). the Atlas did make me leave this new planet just a little after I found myself upon it.

[lost raptor]

It does kind of feel like that.

[swift sand]

and find myself wanting to go back home
goto a teleporter, all your previous bases, stations etc, should all still be on your available destinations

[lost raptor]

I guess I am ok with it all,however.. there is one thing that I am not ok with...

[swift sand]

fix your gear, start with the highest prio things

use repair kits for damaged subcomponents you cant easily get mats for

[lost raptor]

As I was saying... So after I built a small base on this new planet after speaking with atlas one more time. I went back home.

Here's what I don't like. All my bases are gone at the teleporter. all except for the one I left to come back home.

[stuck berry]

That should never happen, all of your bases should still be there

[swift sand]

all your previous bases, stations etc, should all still be on your available destinations
if they're not, you're caught by a bug that i've seen another player reporting recently (like yesterday)

[lost raptor]

Lovely.... uggh

[swift sand]

be sure to raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[lost raptor]

Wait does this mean there is still a way to gain them all back ?

[swift sand]

unknown

but technically, if base code blocks are still all in there, at least the bases teleporter entries should be able to recover

[wheat cove]

I know I lost my stations after going to a new galaxy, but my bases and settlements remained

[swift sand]

neither should be lost

[stuck berry]

but bases especially so, as their teleport entries should repopulate if their base entries still remain

[swift sand]

yep

[karmic vector]

do you still have your freighter?

is that still in the teleport list? your settlements?

[lost raptor]

hmmm ok. One more thing related. Technically I should be able to revert to a previous save right ? I have never used this method, but it seems possible. however I am not confident in using this method. so is it?

[swift sand]

@lost raptor how about your discoveries list? in there, there should be base computer icons on systems where you had bases at

[lost raptor]

Good question. It was late last night so.. i will check that today once I log in.

[swift sand]

Technically I should be able to revert to a previous save right ?
if you got your own backups, you would be

game doesnt make its own backups

[lost raptor]

I am not sure I follow you yet, but would like to understand.

[swift sand]

in the systems discoveries list, when we have a base in a system, there's a small base computer icon that gets placed on that system's entry in discoveries list - kinda like the freighter also gets an icon

[lost raptor]

I have seen previous backups or something like that. right ? above my current save ?

[stuck berry]

If these were present, their teleport entries would also be present

[swift sand]

i'll rephrase: inside the save folder, there wont ever be backups of a single save file

[swift sand]

hopefully, yes

[lost raptor]

I'm not confident enough to mess with this you speak of bk201. But if there were a guide to follow to find such a backup i could probably follow it. But that would be only if it is a doable thing. worth the time, i mean.

[karmic vector]

game does a manual and an autosave. but every time you ecit your ship, that's a manual save. so there's unlikely a save of your pre-jump save.

[lost raptor]

Ok. I thought that might be the case.

[swift sand]

1. game doesnt keep backups of older save file versions for users to pick and restore from
2. if you didnt do that yourself - create backups of the save folder before -- then there's no way to restore anything to before it currently is

[karmic vector]

Good reminder i havent made a backup of my save folder in about 6 months

[swift sand]

that's it

[lost raptor]

Where is this Save folder located?

[swift sand]

!faq-savefiles @lost raptor

[lost raptor]

I'm playing via steam

that's the reason i havent done it. i keep forgetting whre it is 😄

[lost raptor]

So this would be me correct ?: looks like lingo I could study to understand. Steam:
%appdata%\HelloGames\NMS\st_[SteamID]\

[stuck berry]

You can very easily add the NMS folder to quick access on windows, or whatever equivalent

[swift sand]

press&hold win key, press r, in the run dialog type %appdata% - drill through the mentioned subfolders till you get to NMS; copy/backup st_XXXX folder

[lost raptor]

Yes i am familiar with that. If I can find this directory i will do that.

[karmic vector]

An example. Mine is under C:\Users\Lodestone\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS

[lost raptor]

Oh ty. Ok i will try it.

[karmic vector]

and the folder and files are called ST_.

ST_someseriesofnumbers

[lost raptor]

Lost me on that one.

St is part of a backup name ? in this directory ???

[swift sand]

do what i suggested and you'll see it

[karmic vector]

copy the whole folder. the game likes to re-organize the game files, so it's tough to know which of the files in that directory are relevant.

[lost raptor]

So bk201... Win + R then browse right ?

Yes I am in Windows.

[swift sand]

• press&hold win key, press r,
• in the run dialog type %appdata%, press enter - drill through the mentioned subfolders till you get to NMS;
• copy/backup st_XXXX folder

[lost raptor]

All right. before i loose all of you helpers.... I have one more question regarding a specific mission. I think its a bug but wanted to verify it with your Awesome Collective Knowledge. ( This game sucked me in Bigtime).

[swift sand]

ask away

[vital estuary]

Doesn't help Steam buries things, and it isn't a unique problem to NMS either.

[lost raptor]

give me a sec. i temporarily lost my screenshots. uggh

[swift sand]

well, hopefully after that game restart all base teleporter entries will be back

assuming they're all still there ofc

game outright deleting them would be a major issue

[lost raptor]

bk201 was all that for me? if so, I will respond with. "Me Too". Still looking for those screenshots i made last night. my apologizes. I will find them...eventually.

[swift sand]

screenshots made with steam overlay can be easily accessed through steam itself, view>games&recordings iirc

[lost raptor]

I made these manually.

does windows allow search for dated files ? maybe I could find them that way ?

[main stone]

3 dissonant systems in a row, "no harmonies detected"

Am i doing something wrong

[swift sand]

some users have setup windows to do automatic system snapshots, but idk if you do, and what folders are included in that snapshot aka backup. normally, user created folders arent included in these snapshots iirc.

[swift sand]

no, not all dissonant systems will have harmonic camps

@main stone see image:

[stuck berry]

Only inhabited dissonant worlds will have Harmonic Camps. Dead and weird worlds (Rusted Metal/Gold) always count as uninhabited, as well as all in uncharted systems

[swift sand]

@main stone if you got carrier ai frag, you can pop one to mark a suitable dissonant system - otherwise, or if you dont want to use one, just keep system hopping and checking what biome is/are the dissonant planet(s) in the system

[main stone]

Bad luck i guess

[swift sand]

oh you meant searching for the screenshot files? what did you use to take the screenshot?

[main stone]

They've all been inhabited systems, just bad planets

[swift sand]

happens zeb

[lost raptor]

nvm I found them showing them now:

So This Distress Mission seems to be bugged. Let me know if it is. I have had to abandon it twice now.

[swift sand]

i'd just ignore this tbh

submit a bug report and move on

[severe crown]

"Dissonance detected" had confused me from the very start. The planet in my tutorial had that as a label, but the game overwrote it because tutorial. Then the next one I tried was "weird" apparently. (At least it had lots of resources I can use later.) So bad luck with dissonance is not uncommon. Nor is needing to have all this explained here by players who know what's what. 😆

[lost raptor]

I have submitted one already. should I do another ? This time I took better Screenshots to explain.

[hazy berry]

at what time does the weekend quicksilver mission start

[swift sand]

hmm, on the same issue? recently? then i wouldn't do another, if the devs email back just send them screenshots then if needed

[swift sand]

friday 6pm UTC

[lost raptor]

May I ask a question about freighters ? I am finally to the point of dealing with them. I have successfully sent 1 freighter out on a couple of missions now. I have seen others send several out. I don't know how to add freighters to my capital ship. (not sure how to word that correctly). my apologize.

[hazy berry]

im sure there was an command for that

tho i dont reme´mber what

[swift sand]

1. always feel free to ask, as much as you need to, the same thing multiple times if needed, that's why the channel exists
2. sounds like you're asking about frigates, not freighters
3. type !faq-frigates in #nms-commands for lots of infos on it

[lost raptor]

I thought I added them by shooting down the enemy and then talking with the captain, but the captain keeps trying to get me to swap my current capital ship with his. (Not happening).

[swift sand]

these are frigates, that you send on fleet expeditions

[wheat cove]

You can have one freighter (capital ship), but 30 frigates (for sending on missions)

[lost raptor]

Ok. where do i find them to buy them or whatever ?

[wheat cove]

The ones you save are a freighter, but it can have recruitable frigates around it

Any time you drop out of pulse or warp into a system, a bunch of frigates and a freighter will warp near you

[lost raptor]

Learned something new. Capital Ship = Frieghter, Frieghter governs Frigates . I can have 30 under my control ???? really ???

[hazy berry]

i tagged you

look at that

theres buch of usewfull info

[lost raptor]

Just in case is there a way for me to grab this and not loose it so i can refer to it often ? (not all that familiar with discord.) ( i don't know how busy that thread gets.)

[hazy berry]

do like this

then it always pastes it to you

[shrewd jolt]

You can screenshot it too

[lost raptor]

Ty found it under "General" link

So What I have been looking for are these Ships that follow me this whole time ? Haha Haha that's funny. .... so basically i need to go to the ships (friagtes) that have a green Rental sign on them . Lol. Some times it takes me awhile. This one made me laugh out loud.

[hazy berry]

well people learn from their mistakes, that the best way to learn

or atleast thats what i have been always told

[swift sand]

yeah, when you approach a frigate close enough, it will contact you via ship comms - then you accept via quick menu and see its stats

[crisp marsh]

I've completed the expedition but now that I'm out ???

[hazy berry]

you need to unlock it on main save too

expidation unlocks dont count towards main save

[crisp marsh]

how do I do that?

[hazy berry]

just process one waste

[swift sand]

@crisp marsh if you just completed expedition and went back to main save, i'd suggest to first save+restart game first. if that doesn't fix, what @hazy berry mentioned. also see image grouch just posted (that i was about to post as well lol)

[crisp marsh]

aight

[still dragon]

are you allowed to just sort a broken starship inventory to make all the stacks go together to free up all the cumulative space

i did it accidentally and it removed like 3/4ths of the broken inventory

including ones that i already put resources into

[swift sand]

you mean that you auto sorted, and it changed the grid positions of the damaged slots?

[severe crown]

Same happened to me...once. Then it didn't happen on the next one. I assumed it was a bug.

[swift sand]

or fixed damaged slots?

[still dragon]

it essentially compacted the damaged starship components

so it freed up the slots

[swift sand]

hmm yeah, dont think that's intended at all

[still dragon]

i guess it sorted the broken ship components

[stuck berry]

Just tested, yeah that happens

[still dragon]

that is really really funny

[swift sand]

i'd raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[severe crown]

I figure, most bugs break things. This one fixed 'em. Balance in the universe.

i mean hey i'll take the free inventory slots but yeah i just wanted to make sure that wasnt like an intended thing since the point of it is to take up slots

[swift sand]

no, not intended

@stuck berry wait, can you spam the auto sort buttons and it will keep doing it everytime?

[stuck berry]

No, it removes the same few slots each time too

[swift sand]

weird, wonder if it will do it after save+reload/restart, like, sounds like doing that would "lock it in"

[lost jay]

I've seen people mentioned moded ships... is moding a thing in the game? or do they mean just glitchy ships?

Nevermind, I've googled lol

[crisp marsh]

worked btw ty

[stuck berry]

Modding is a thing in this game https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nomanssky/mods?sort=updatedAt but most things done to ships are just done via save editing instead (like building crazy corvettes, increasing stats beyond intended limits etc)

Mods and Save Editing are two extremely different things in this game, but many casual players just refer to both as "modded"

[hazy berry]

how do you actually brake on the colossus? holdin "s" on keyboard atleast does nothing

or ctrl or space, etc

[mystic lake]

does this work for storage modules built in the freighter?

[stuck berry]

S is your best bet

[hazy berry]

if the freighter is is the same system

[stuck berry]

Yes, when the freighter is in-system

[hazy berry]

but otherwise the main cargo area works always

[hazy berry]

sure does not feel like it

[hazy berry]

perhaps the 3 supercharfged s class boost modules were not the best idea...

[stuck berry]

The Matter Beam enables remote access of the core freighter cargo and technology inventories universe-wide, as well as remote access to the Storage Containers when the freighter is in the same system as you

[swift sand]

🥳 to be clear, save+restart fixed it? or you had to go and process 1 waste still?

[hexed kindle]

your camera has to face in the direction of the cockpit otherwise it'll turn

[swift sand]

brake+sharp turn at the same time

[stuck berry]

Even then, the braking feels extremely minimal in an unintended way

mainly downhill

[swift sand]

when downhill, definitely brake+sharp turn

works the best ime

[hazy berry]

you can say goodbye to your cargo then tho

[swift sand]

nah nah

if you're controlling your descent from the start, that wont happen

[lost jay]

So, while mods are client side, if both me and a friend download, say a new wall type. If I build the wall, will they see it?

[swift sand]

if both are using the same mod, yes

[stuck berry]

Players without the mod will not see it, and if you load your save with the mod uninstalled then objects added from that mod are deleted

[hazy berry]

can other players attack your freighter or do they only see it when in a gropup

group

[swift sand]

the latter

[stuck berry]

only see it when in group, and can't destroy it

[swift sand]

should still be able to blow up its cargo pods 😄

resummon freighter to fix damage

[hazy berry]

you guys still getting the freighter door glitch? the one that you have to jump over the doors

im getting it on daily basis now

[swift sand]

i have seen a couple players reporting that after remnant update, but doesn't seem to be happening in all cases

i cant reproduce, but there might be lots of other factors that my freighter base doesn't meet to trigger the bug

[hazy berry]

well my freigter base is huge, could be that

[swift sand]

i'd suggest submitting a bug report - tbh sounds like something got messed up a bit, misaligned or something. with save folder backups done, you could experiment further, like resetting freighter base completely, or just redoing parts of it

maybe test getting a freighter in a diff save, for example a creative save makes it easy to test this stuff

[crisp marsh]

save and exit to main menu and back in auto rewarded it to me, with a buggy looking glyph icon lol

[swift sand]

lol, just a minor issue i guess. thanks!

[wheat cove]

It happens to me, sometimes, but it's not happening every time I visit my freighter. It might be related to how you enter the freighter.

[hazy berry]

”The catch x amount of uncommon fish quest” Does the game only count uncommon or do rarer quality also count

[stuck berry]

rarer should count

[lost jay]

That is very good to know

[hazy berry]

you were right

[dark lagoon]

Hey can someone help me what System I have to go when I’m looking for activ Quarzit and Helium

[hazy berry]

purple

[analog scroll]

Purple systems, which you may or may not have unlocked

[round compass]

Stellar class X or Y

[dark lagoon]

What does that mean ?

[stuck berry]

The beginning letter of their stellar class

[analog scroll]

The capital letter after the distance on the galaxy map

[round compass]

See above

[analog scroll]

You will not see them if you haven't completed all of the missions to unlock them

I found my Saves Folder I think: Can you verify ? Do I save the whole folder or just one of these files ? : PS. You may copy this and use it to help others find their Saves if needs be.

[stuck berry]

It's advised to copy the whole folder, though the Cache folder can be safely deleted in the backups to save space

[lost raptor]

Noted. ty And If or When I bring the saves back into this folder. I am guessing I have the game closed before I do this: Paste back into this folder. then restart the game.

[stuck berry]

You can have the game open when you do this, it doesn't matter really. You'd just need to drag in save.hg, save2.hg, mf_save.hg and mf_save2.hg

You'd just have to reload restore point/autosave after doing so (or load the save)

[hazy berry]

did water dpeth affect fish or was it only the biome, time opf day and storms

[main stone]

I already have a starship dock in my settlement and theyre asking if i want to build another one or a utility module. Can you have 2x starship docks? Amd and does that mean more frigate fuel production?

[hazy berry]

i have like 4 on one settlement

[analog scroll]

Yes, you can have many. I've seen settlements with 4

[austere garnet]

Do y'all use 1 multitool for everything or do y'all have multiple for different uses (ex. scanning, mining, combat)

I personally use 1 and that's really it

[hazy berry]

i use one tpp

I have an S class staff that I use. I just pick the one I like the most

I found it visually

[proper lodge]

how do i respawn the battle with pirate freighter?

[analog scroll]

You reload the restore point from before you warped into the battle and warp again

[shrewd jolt]

Some systems infinitely spawn them on load
Otherwise at least 5 jumps and iirc 3 hours?

[proper lodge]

ohh, i sadly didn't do that😭

what chances for s class in pirate system?

[analog scroll]

20% of outlaw systems trigger the battle on every warp, otherwise yes it's 3 hours played + 5 warps between battles

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[shrewd jolt]

I found 2 infinite pirate freighter spawn systems yesterday and teleported back and forth
Got my s class

[proper lodge]

should i get this one?

Should I take this new ship/multi-tool/freighter?

• Do you like how it looks?
  -# In the long run, no point owning and investing into something you don't like the looks of.
• Does new gear have more usable slots?
  -# If it does, that's less investment on your part to make a decent build fit.
• Does new gear have revealed supercharged slots?
  -# Tech build we end up with, using supercharged slots and stacking Upgrade modules, will allow any ship/MT/freighter be able to easily deal with anything in the game.
• That said, all gear can have its inventory upgraded, although for that a class upgrade might be needed first.
  -# Type !faq-inventory in #nms-commands for more info.
• Can't class upgrade freighters.
  -# For your first freighter, any freighter will do. We can even migrate freighter base to a new freighter later on.

how does one get things for the collosus

like the flatbed

[shrewd jolt]

Id say so
Way more storage slots

[lost raptor]

@stuck berry I need to apologize. It seems my bases are showing up in the Teleporter list, however all my usual stations I visit frequently are now Gone. Is this normal ? or a Bug ? I am in process of reporting it as a bug so... need clarification.

[shrewd jolt]

Deposit one thing of waste

[halcyon cobalt]

what about others

like the other design stuff

[stuck berry]

Earn the title by throwing 1 scrap into the processor.
Buy the Gravitino Coil blueprint from Iteration: Eos and install it, then follow it's tutorial

[hazy berry]

about the tracks...

is there a best one or are they all same but with differenrt style

[halcyon cobalt]

uhh

erm

would a uhh

save editor work

[hazy berry]

propably

[proper lodge]

what transfers between freighters?

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

Probably, but you would need to know the title's names unless the save editor has a specific GUI thing for that

[proper lodge]

what is freighter base>

[stuck berry]

The base on your freighter

[proper lodge]

rooms?

[stuck berry]

The entire buildable space

[proper lodge]

great

time for a new freighter

[lost raptor]

Capital Ship = Freighter // Freighter commands Frigates

[proper lodge]

can pirate freighter attack on it's own?

sad

[lost raptor]

Sorry jumping in without understanding all. What do you mean by this ?

[analog scroll]

Asking if the freighter itself will attack enemies. It will not

[proper lodge]

yeah

sad

[shrewd jolt]

Being able to bring your freighter to freighter battles would be so cool

[proper lodge]

agree

[shrewd jolt]

And have it attack the enemies

[proper lodge]

especially pirate freighter which has a bunch of cannons

[severe crown]

Question about base edits.
I know there are limits to terrain edits that can be made to bases (not sure if it is per base, or cumulative across all) and it looks like the amount is shown on the UI when building.
What I can't figure out is what the "base terrain edits" shows with some pieces and not others.
Examples:

Also, I don't think I edited any terrain on my base (I only have the one). If that is saying there are edits, is there any way I can see where?

[lost raptor]

I have Jumped into a new system and found the Enemy freighter attacking the friendlies. Wouldn't that be a yes they can attack ?

[proper lodge]

it's just amount of that piece of base you can build with all your resources

[analog scroll]

Placing base parts directly on the ground causes some terrain edits

[proper lodge]

oh

[analog scroll]

But your freighter will not attack. NPC freighters can, but not yours

[proper lodge]

my bad

[lost raptor]

Oh Yes Ok. Gotcha. 😉

[severe crown]

I wondered that. So in the case in my screenshot, I was attaching to the roof of a building rather than the ground.

[halcyon cobalt]

wait what does the furnace module do btw

[analog scroll]

Allow you to salvage waste on the go

[halcyon cobalt]

erm i mightve used a uhh bit too much with the save editor WTH IS LEGACY STRUCTURES

and what are these other reasearch stations

what have i done

[analog scroll]

Looks like you unlocked the legacy parts and the Utopia expedition terminals

[halcyon cobalt]

i uhh

i think i found something i wasnt supposed to

I CAN PURPOSFULLY BREAK MY SHIP

[stuck berry]

Yes, you now have many blueprints that are either unused, broken or expedition exclusive and do nothing outside of those, or yeah break what you install it on and can only be removed via save editor (like the core techs)

[halcyon cobalt]

i can put a RUNIC LENS on my basic multitool

[analog scroll]

You can break a lot of things with a save editor

[halcyon cobalt]

the one i used to use didnt let you get things like this

i switched to nom nom and now i get this stuff

[shrewd jolt]

Triple mining beam lol
Runic lens, hijacked lazer, mining beam

[halcyon cobalt]

i can make the ultimate multi tool lmao

[shrewd jolt]

Its gonna cool off when you use it lmao

[halcyon cobalt]

i used to use goatfungus's save editor btw

[stuck berry]

You could also do this with that

by just ctrl + a'ing all tech to add

[halcyon cobalt]

why did i do this

[magic nebula]

I have a pulse multi tool and i put 3 s class modes on it. how can i add more? Do they have to be a class?

[hexed kindle]

3 is the maximum you can have of any type if you want buffs out of them

[stuck berry]

You can only add up to three upgrade modules per type, adding more will make them all overload

blueprint technology does not contribute to this, so you can still add blueprint technology that helps out

[magic nebula]

Awe, thank you. I was wondering because i saw videos people having more. Maybe that was updated?

[analog scroll]

Blueprints do not count toward the limit, so some could be that; also in videos some people mod their game and do not mention it

[stuck berry]

Also, before the Waypoint update in Oct 2022 we could install technology in our "general" inventory, which counted towards separate limits

[analog scroll]

Not for multi tools, but yes

[halcyon cobalt]

uhh whats the storage shuttle

[stuck berry]

Probably some sort of unused/unfinished room

Unused legacy freighter part?

[halcyon cobalt]

also why do these 'legacy' rooms actually work

[halcyon cobalt]

yea its a legacy item

by the looks of it

[stuck berry]

because they are still usable by players who still have their blueprints

[analog scroll]

Because those of us who had them unlocked prior to the freighter change can still use them

[stuck berry]

though mainly only these parts still work fully, others are missing things like an exterior or functionality at all

[halcyon cobalt]

also how old is the legacy stuff

[stuck berry]

From before 2022's Endurance update that overhauled freighter base building

[halcyon cobalt]

huh nice

[stuck berry]

the planetbase legacy parts are from before 2021's Frontiers update, which overhauled that kind of base building

[karmic vector]

Have i been playing the game that long.... wow

[halcyon cobalt]

this game has been out that long?

[shrewd jolt]

10 years this year

[halcyon cobalt]

like for a game 10 years old im suprised how good it is and looks

[halcyon cobalt]

i live in a system exaclty 10 years old

are you telling me someone found my starter systems 10 years ago

when the game came out

thats crazy

[shrewd jolt]

Well its gotten a ton of updates

Worlds part 1 and 2 overhauled a ton of visuals iirc

[halcyon cobalt]

i can tell, older videos i watch of nms have older versions of the stations

[topaz pier]

What have yall done? What would be the best option?

[analog scroll]

Best is a matter of personal opinion. Choose the option that best suits you

[topaz pier]

If I’m being honest I still don’t understand the story of the game it’s a little confusing

What is the atlas are they the bad guys

[proper lodge]

not bad but not good either

[topaz pier]

If I except it’s more of a story line?

[proper lodge]

wdym

[winter phoenix]

Except what?

[topaz pier]

Sorry spelling mistake accept

[analog scroll]

This is not the end of the Atlas Path. Accept is your only option

[proper lodge]

yes

more storyline

[topaz pier]

Ohh ok that’s what I was trying to get to😅 wasn’t sure if it was more of the story line

[proper lodge]

also their appearance tells you what part of story they will talk about

[topaz pier]

Oh ok that’s good to know

[proper lodge]

is there any auto-recharge technology on minotaur?

[stuck berry]

There's the Icarus Fuel System

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[stuck berry]

Which is the same technology that can be installed on all other exocraft (except maybe the Nautilon)

[proper lodge]

i through this was only for colosus so never tried to place it

[stuck berry]

All colossus tech works on the other regular exocraft (except the plow and the refiner). The minotaur and nautilon have almost all of their own equivalents for the same technology but the Icarus Fuel System is a rare exception

[shrewd jolt]

I should use my minotaur more tbh

[proper lodge]

if i place it in supercharged slot will it recharge faster?

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[stuck berry]

Most likely no

[proper lodge]

sad

[spring whale]

Are the staff peices different in each system or can I run around one planet and eventually find the ones like?

[stuck berry]

Each terminal sells different ones

[analog scroll]

They're different per camp

[stuck berry]

you can easily find all of them across the same planet/system/etc

[proper lodge]

can sentinels attack exocrafts?

[stuck berry]

yes, and it will damage you while inside of it

receiving damage while piloting an exocraft can also damage it's technology

the minotaur can also have it's technology damaged while it's in AI mode fighting alongside you

[spring whale]

Ok cool, thanks

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

can minotaur attack enemies using other weapon rather than mining beam?

i mean the ai

not player

[stuck berry]

Yes, it switches between all of it's combat weapons periodically

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

how does technology inside minotaur gets damaged? i need to repair it for it to work or it gets completely destroyed?

[shrewd jolt]

Pretty sure tech can always be repaired

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[stuck berry]

All technology damage is temporary, and retains full function after repair

Technology destruction/erasure is not a feature in No Man's Sky. If you observe this, report it as a bug

[proper lodge]

alright

[lost raptor]

👋 hello Me again. sry If I am a pain. I am seeing players cycle the notifications at the lower right of the screen manually how do I do this ?

[pallid tiger]

H on keyboard iirc

[proper lodge]

how long approximately it takes to get all parts for corvette and is it possible to modify it later?

[karmic vector]

yes to modify later, and all the parts is quite the request. There are quite a few available. You can buy the basics in the space station.

[analog scroll]

You also can't find some of them, since they're expedition-locked

[proper lodge]

alright, another question, i have like 5 hull parts so how big are they? or do i need like 20 of them?

[formal estuary]

Do I need to build the Cadmium Drive if I can build the Emeril Drive already?

(same question about Emeril Drive in case of Indium Drive)

[warm night]

how do i actually enter the galactic core?

[stuck berry]

The higher ones substitute for the function of the lower ones too

[warm night]

i cant access that from the united kingdom

[wheat cove]

Short version: use the "directional" warp instead of free look

[stuck berry]

You only need one of each type of functional module (one hab, one cockpit, one landing bay, one landing gear, one thruster, one reactor and one weapon

[warm night]

?

whats that

[wheat cove]

The one that has a directional yellow icon

[stuck berry]

Select the current star and move the mouse/analogue stick towards the path to the galactic center

[warm night]

do i need to have it be within hyperdrive range?

[stuck berry]

you must be on the final star on the "galactic core" path

[warm night]

ok

[wheat cove]

In the galaxy map, aim the yellow blip towards the core and select that path

[stuck berry]

as the post I brought up with the command says

[karmic vector]

are you on mouse and keyboard, or on controller?

[warm night]

keyboard

[proper lodge]

but why do i need nly 1 weapon? what if i want more?

[warm night]

thanks guys

[stuck berry]

Then add more

either as the corvette modules (which become tech upgrades that benefit that weapon type too) or by just adding the core techs normally like any other type of ship

[karmic vector]

do NOT enter frree-look mode. Instead turn as best you can towards the final jump, and hold there. Then SWEEP your mouse forward ... it's a motion we never use. You need to slide it, not just push

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[stuck berry]

Like this

[proper lodge]

is this a bug that when i pulse or at the activation of boost my screen doesn't shake?

on sentinel ship

[stuck berry]

Possibly, not sure. You can change how much screen shake applies to your camera in the camera options

[proper lodge]

i didn't change anything yet it disappeared

also is there any way to place sentinel tech on corvette?(i mean engine and etc) or something for thruster and warp engine efficiency?

[stuck berry]

You can install standard starship technology/upgrades on corvettes. You cannot install core technology from different ship types like sentinel/living ship stuff (Crimson Core, Pulsing Heart etc)

You can also build certain modules onto the corvette that improve stats greatly, like the Zenith-Class Reactor that improves warp range and fuel efficiency and stacks with hyperdrive upgrades

[proper lodge]

what is s class reactor?

[acoustic gull]

I've read about a low-resolution texture bug. Is that what I'm getting here? On Xbox Series S btw.

[analog scroll]

Reactor for corvettes does not determine class

[proper lodge]

oh alright, i was just watching guide on how to build corvette and that guy said that class determined by reactor

[stuck berry]

An item used in fabrication of ships at the Starship Fabricator (fighter, hauler, explorer and solar ships)

[winter phoenix]

S-class reactors are not for corvettes, they're for building legacy ships

[stuck berry]

This only applies to fabricated ships (fighter, hauler, explorer and solar ships) at the starship fabricator

[crisp marsh]

ah so this is all manual

[stuck berry]

Corvettes do not use these items, they use their own corvette modules and their initial class is always C

[proper lodge]

oh so i can't change class of corvette?

[winter phoenix]

Sure you can. Just pay nanites at the back of any space station. 85k for a full upgrade to S-class

[crisp marsh]

if I auto collect it seems that number doesnt change and I get less nanites like 1/3rd less?

[stuck berry]

You can, the normal way of increasing a ship's class (at any starship outfitting terminal using nanites)

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is correct

[acoustic gull]

Yeah you don't want to use auto-collect except when it tells you to in the expedition.

[winter phoenix]

Yes, you probably never want to autocollect. It certainly won't save you time.

[crisp marsh]

so I'll need to do it manual for the rewards like the treads etc

[upper thunder]

hey guys. i have been away from the game for a month now. updated it yesterday. did they fix the roadsigns expidition?

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[stuck berry]

They have implemented multiple fixes for it, yes. It's still advised to disable multiplayer when doing it though I think

See the pins in #nms-expedition

[upper thunder]

it is disabled. thanks

[proper lodge]

what reactor changes in corvette?

[stuck berry]

What do you mean?

[magic nebula]

i am looking for a base overseer for my construction terminal at base. I am having no luck find one to recruit.

[stuck berry]

Each reactor says what it does, they act as technology that's placed into the technology inventory. Each can have up to 3 installed count as technology, similar to upgrades (cockpit counts as a medusa reactor for some reason)

[proper lodge]

like there 4 types of reactors

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message

In the corvette workshop editor, each reactor displays the stats it has

you can install 3 of each of them if you wish, but this will take up the technology inventory a lot

[stuck berry]

Track the secondary mission "Expanding the Base", and follow where it points you to hire them

the text will say that any gek space station is okay, but this is incorrect/outdated, you must speak to the specific one that the mission marks

if you are in a multiplayer group, leave it and save + reload

[austere garnet]

is it worth it to use my starship inventory slot upgrades on a sentinel interceptor?

or should I get a better starship

[shrewd jolt]

Sentinel interceptors are great
Does it have good supercharged slots?

[analog scroll]

Use them on whatever ship you like most

[austere garnet]

nope, first 3 rows only contain 1 supercharged slot

[shrewd jolt]

Oh is it C class?

[stuck berry]

That is normal then

[austere garnet]

yes unfortunately

[stuck berry]

The amount of supercharged slots present is based on the class, with S-Class things always having 4

[austere garnet]

thank you, I did not know this beforehand

[shrewd jolt]

You could try to farm an A or something class if you remember the system
Or use nanites to improve the class

[stuck berry]

You can upgrade the class of a ship using nanites, yes

[austere garnet]

I made a base at the disharmonic camp

I could go back and find more sentinel interceptors

[stuck berry]

The chances of finding one better will be different depending on the star system's economy tier

[shrewd jolt]

Yeah
Its definitely cheaper than using nanites, I got a ton of A classes after a couple hours of hunting last night

[austere garnet]

alright, thank you guys so much

I will be hunting these ships now lol

[shrewd jolt]

Poor is 1 star right?

Cool

[austere garnet]

So I should go to a wealthy system, not an outlaw because I can easily upgrade an A class to S class

[shrewd jolt]

50k nanites

But yeah if you want an A or S class wealthy is better

If youre hunting specifically S outlaw is better

[austere garnet]

1 in 20 chance

[frigid wadi]

incidentally, you can actually just upgrade the ship itself to an S class in the ship modifier in any space station

but it costs nanites to do it

[analog scroll]

You can also temporarily turn purchases to free and do it for no cost if you choose

[frigid wadi]

This as well

Tbh, the games far more fun if you just set all purchases to free so crafting and upgrading mats are always available

resource grinding is no fun

[austere garnet]

if you set the purchases to free will it void any achievements you made?

[frigid wadi]

nope. I play in creative and almost all achieves are available to me.

I set my game to creative, then turned combat back up, but my char cannot die

[stuck berry]

All achievements except the two survival/permadeath ones ignore difficulty, it can be set to whatever

[vast pebble]

Im stuck in the wall of my new freighter… how to i get out of this

My auto save is literally still in the wall

[stuck berry]

Options > General > Reset Position in Freighter

[vast pebble]

Thank you

[main lotus]

What are the primary benefits for upgrading a system's wealth status through your settlement?

[analog scroll]

It's not permanent, it's temporary

This isn't the end of the story, and portals do not take you to other galaxies, just keep going

[vernal nacelle]

okay.

[cunning swift]

Heya people, new player here. A friend has bought and built a corvette. Is it possible to interact with their buildings inside it?

[vernal nacelle]

if your freind allows it. im preety sure

[stuck berry]

You're supposed to be able to interact with chairs, landing bays, storage containers (will only see your own storage) etc, but a bug is preventing this

[cunning swift]

So was building things in other people's corvette normally a thing or not?

[stuck berry]

It was only added recently, when the interaction with things in others' corvettes was broken

[vernal nacelle]

idk. i own a corvett, but i often lock myself out😂

[cunning swift]

In any case thanks for the info, helps to know I wasn't just messing up

[proper parcel]

how do i get heart of the sun? quest tip says the anomaly but ive bought everything from the synthisis lab so its lying

i do not know at all. if it says the anomaly, perhaps from a misson? wild geuss

[stuck berry]

Progress The Atlas Path, you are awarded it's blueprint at the end

[proper parcel]

oh ok

[vernal nacelle]

so THATS what is for

[proper parcel]

thx

[vernal nacelle]

i recently wonderd if it even ends

[stuck berry]

It does, in which case it becomes Atlas Eternal which never ends.

[vernal nacelle]

ohh that be fun, but use up all my warp feul

[hazy berry]

i dont think (or remember) if my question was answered earlier... Did water depht affect the fish you get? or was it only the biome, time of day and weather?

[stuck berry]

That is a good question, I don't really know the answer

I think depth just affects fish type, like "large/colossal" fish are more frequently caught in deeper water, and vice versa for small/medium

[hazy berry]

cause im almost 100% i have seen "flawor text" (not sure about the word) that says "usually caught in deeper water"

[vernal nacelle]

i dont know, but i get plenty of A and S class fish at my shallow shore in front of my base, so i dont know

[hazy berry]

tho i have gotten those fish on shallower water also i think

[hazy berry]

i dont mean the class, i mean the type of the fish the "species"

[vernal nacelle]

oh.

thats a diffrent story

[stuck berry]

Oh, then that definitely is affected by depth, as I described above, and from what I've heard from others

[hazy berry]

well makes sense i guess

[stuck berry]

Note that Waterworlds and Gas Giants ignore depth for these, for obvious reasons

[hazy berry]

tho here in finland there arent that many "big" fishes so hard to compare to real life knowledge

[vernal nacelle]

ohh problem with that is the abbesell horrors, i died once to them.

[hazy berry]

dissonant propably does not count as "biome"?

[stuck berry]

It doesn't

[hazy berry]

the main planet type counts toward sthe fish

[stuck berry]

as it's not a biome

it's technically a sentinel alert level

[hazy berry]

what could it be then called? a sub-biome?

ohh

[stuck berry]

it affects any biome/subbiome that it's attributed to. If it were a subbiome, all lush ones would clearly use the same/similar objects similar to how relic and infested worlds work

[hazy berry]

true that, i just dont know the proper english word to call them

so i presumed it to be kinda like ruined or infected as it technically affects the whole planet

[onyx turtle]

how do i remove this standing sign?

i placed it to experiment, didnt like it, but now i cant remove it because my mouse isnt hitting its hitbox

[hazy berry]

just gotta dfind the sweet spot

[stuck berry]

Possibly move your cursor around until you find it's hitbox, it shouldn't be hard to target though so that may be a bug

[hazy berry]

some of them are quite "finnicy"

[unique hare]

So finished Remnant this was my first expedition and it was awesome. I love the new colossus cosmetics. One thing though that I'm having trouble aiming the larger scrapmetal pieces into the furnace chassis. Like tried to aim different what could be the sweetspot but still. It's like the bounding bix for the furnace's "mouth" is too small

[hazy berry]

is that a word even

[unique hare]

Anyone else?

[onyx turtle]

i literally scanned through the whole prop and didnt find any sweet spots

[hazy berry]

yeah, they over fixed it

its too narrow

to fit anything in it

[stuck berry]

This is affecting all players yes, it's a problem of them adding more collision to it after an update, as well as the "origin" of the scrap needing to be inside it for it to count as being processed

[hazy berry]

huh thats strange

[stuck berry]

which for some objects is on one specific side

[onyx turtle]

yeah

[hazy berry]

possible save and reload could work and then try again

[onyx turtle]

its hitbox literally doesnt exist

[hazy berry]

thats my idea

[onyx turtle]

tried that

[hazy berry]

ohh well thats quite annoying

[dusky pilot]

Trying to find the best way to make money so I can build a corvette any advice?

[vernal nacelle]

what i did was raid planets and selllll

[hazy berry]

theres a command for that

if i juist remember it...

[dusky pilot]

That’s what I’ve looking to do but can’t find planets with salvageable parts

[shrewd jolt]

Find a planet with salvagable scrap and dig up the containers
You'll get corvette parts and things you can sell for a few mil each

[vernal nacelle]

ohh

[onyx turtle]

i tried putting another one of those signs in a base i abandoned, and now those things with the same scaling are removable just fine

[shrewd jolt]

Oh lol

[onyx turtle]

its only this weird instance that wants to live

[hazy berry]

what sign is that

[dusky pilot]

Ok I’ll keep looking around thank you

[hazy berry]

i can try to recreate it

see if it works for me

[vernal nacelle]

i have like, 39867,8765,453,045 units or more

[onyx turtle]

standing sign

from station decorations in furnishing

[vernal nacelle]

im in good shape finacealy. but in nanites...

yep

[lost jay]

When an NPC ship lands, and I offer to buy it... does my previous ship get yeeted or just send back to my collection?

[vernal nacelle]

can be your choice

ethir swap ships or add to collectoin

[analog scroll]

Depends if you add the new one to your collection or exchange

[vernal nacelle]

yep

[wanton granite]

HI, how many mineral extractor should put at central to the hotspot source of a S class?

[vernal nacelle]

as many as you want

[analog scroll]

2. Diminishing returns kicks in at 1000/hr extraction rate

[shrewd jolt]

You only have 12 active ship slots iirc so if youre planning on buying them every now and then keep a few clear

[vernal nacelle]

for me, i would do 2

[lost jay]

What happens if u buy one without a free slot? Does it block you from pay or you lose the money and the ship¡?

[hexed kindle]

it forces you to either swap your current ship or decline the trade

[analog scroll]

You exchange your current ship

[vernal nacelle]

archive ships in your fregither

[lost jay]

Oof good to know

[vernal nacelle]

if you have a freghter...

[onyx turtle]

i found the culprit

[vernal nacelle]

ohh good job
