nms-questions

[onyx turtle]

i dont know how in the actual hell the hitbox ended up here, but ill just remove the sign and not question it

[vernal nacelle]

weird

[onyx turtle]

the hitboxes are overall weird with standing signs on this specific base btw

on another base the hitboxes functioned as intended

[hazy berry]

yeah, found the same thing, the hitbox is really low

[wanton granite]

I put 4 and it's 1k3/hour

I put 5 and it's 1k3/hour

[onyx turtle]

but on this base im in it jumps around when i place a standing sign

[vernal nacelle]

that happend to me once. it wanted to delete my corvette hab

[onyx turtle]

it only happens with a standing sign btw

[analog scroll]

If you split those into 2 separate chains, it would be an effective 2k/hr

[vernal nacelle]

turns out the hitbox was IN THE HAB BELOW ME

ohh

[onyx turtle]

despite 10 years of effort of hello games, nms is still a buggy mess of a game 😔

[vernal nacelle]

yeah...

[onyx turtle]

i mean nothing is perfect

also instead of deleting the standing sign i accidentally started moving the prop, so i clicked rmb to stop moving it, and when i did the hitbox moved back to where its supposed to be

[vernal nacelle]

yeah.

that happens when you tap pick up instead of delete

[wanton granite]

Now I put only 2 and it drop to 1k/hour ????

[analog scroll]

And if you add another 2, separated like in my image, you'll get another 1k/hr, and so on

[proper lodge]

Can i summon 2 exocrafts at once?

[vernal nacelle]

idk

[proper lodge]

And if so can minotaur follow me while i'm riding other exocraft?

[vernal nacelle]

i only need my mech and car.

[hazy berry]

only one active exocrafdt

[vernal nacelle]

yeah

[proper lodge]

Sad

[hazy berry]

there can be many at the same place(rendered) but not active

like the colossus and minotaur can exist at the same time but only one fuctions

[vernal nacelle]

a pain if somthing importint is in your inactive exocrafts invintory

[wanton granite]

I thought 2k was for 2, So isn't it better to put 5 per floor? since 1 got 1k3 for 5 at one. But the elelectric bill are crazy.

[hazy berry]

how much quicksilver can you squeeze out of the corvette mission board per day

[vernal nacelle]

also, i own a freaghter, HOW DOES THE EXOCRAFT ORBITAL MATIRALIZER WORK? does it just sow you the exocraft you own?

[stuck berry]

Go to any planet in the same system as your freighter and you can summon all owned exocraft via the quick menu

[vernal nacelle]

oh

[stuck berry]

owned = geobay placed somewhere in the universe

does not need to be at a base, and can be multiple

[vernal nacelle]

yep

[cursive coyote]

i see tons of youtube videos where the game looks BEAUTIFUL, my game looks decent but not as good as theirs, most of my settings are on high, do they need to be on ultra?

[vernal nacelle]

it may be your grapics card

[cursive coyote]

i have a 4060 ti

[vernal nacelle]

hmm..

[shrewd jolt]

If youre watching on a phone dont forget the image is smaller so its harder to see the resolution of the textures and stuff

[cursive coyote]

nah i watch on PC

the game looks literally jaw dropping

ill send a SS of my game in a sec

[shrewd jolt]

Idk
Maybe look up a like high vs ultra comparison

I play on mostly high and think it looks pretty good

[vernal nacelle]

yeah, the vedio conbindend with game reselotin may be what your seeing

[shrewd jolt]

Dlss quality iirc

[cursive coyote]

im on dlss quality too

[analog scroll]

Diminishing returns kicks in at 1k/hr, meaning any extractor over that produces dramatically less. Much better to make more floors/chains than to add more to a single floor. 4 on one chain produces 1.3k/hr, 2 each in 2 separate chains will get you 2k/hr total

[shrewd jolt]

Is frame gen on?

Idek if its supported lol

[cursive coyote]

why would frame gen make it look better lol

[shrewd jolt]

No probably worse
Adding more ghosting and stuff

[vernal nacelle]

try experimenting

[cursive coyote]

yeah exactly why would i have that on

[hazy berry]

is your resolutin matching the monitor, could be one cause

[analog scroll]

FrameGen has a negative effect for a lot of people

[vernal nacelle]

what OS do you use?

[shrewd jolt]

Cuz it's motion smoothing
And at high enough fps it looks alright and doesn't hurt frames too bad

[cursive coyote]

mine looks like complete and utter shit

[analog scroll]

Also note that many PC screenshots or videos could contain mods

[cursive coyote]

i doubt it cuz that screenshot is from an official trailer

[shrewd jolt]

Trailers are also trying to show off the absolute best the game can look

[vernal nacelle]

its not too bad... my game CRASHES if i do to much procsessing

[cursive coyote]

oh my goodness man ive seen youtubers that look like that too earlier that was just the easiest to find cuz it pops up immediately

im just asking how i get my game like that

im begging

i need my game to look like that

[vernal nacelle]

what OS do you use

[stuck berry]

1. Don't be on a planet that has a crazy color filter like the first image

[cursive coyote]

windows 11

[shrewd jolt]

True lmao

[vernal nacelle]

i use windows 11 but debloated

[shrewd jolt]

Can you send graphics settings ss?

[hazy berry]

your game looks fine, look at how blurry this is

tho i dont have a powerfull pc

[shrewd jolt]

Yeah I dont think it looks awful tbh

[proper lodge]

I found planet with megafauna but all it had from megafauna is a couple flying island and a bunch of very little birds that act like a 1 creature, Is this normal or planets with big animals just rare?

[vernal nacelle]

i use windows 11 but debloated with a progam called whinace

umm

thats rare

what biome

[cursive coyote]

does that help performance curvy? to debloat windows 11

[vernal nacelle]

yeah

but its harder to plug in bluetooth

my controller

i use a cord now

[proper lodge]

Wdym what biome

Does mega fauna have biome?

[vernal nacelle]

what planet type it is

[proper lodge]

Mega fauna

[vernal nacelle]

like schorched toxic or lush

[proper lodge]

When i look on planet it says mega fauna

Nothing else

[vernal nacelle]

oh

[cursive coyote]

ig it looks p good

i turned up a few settings

[vernal nacelle]

you also have the dreams of the deep misson?

[hazy berry]

anyone?

[stuck berry]

Remember to restart the game after changing some settings, the game can be very unstable after changing certain settings until restart (especially with DLSS/FG options)

[stuck berry]

400, plus 1,800 for the weekend mission which can only be began aboard the Space Anomaly

[cursive coyote]

i did

[vernal nacelle]

quicksilver? i never used that, i just use anomaly missons

[cursive coyote]

also can sm1 help me get cool helmets and like cloaks i see ppl dripped out but theres like nothing in the quiksilver shop on space anomaly

[stuck berry]

The Corvette Mission Board has the same quicksilver mission system as the Space Anomaly, and shares it's caching/daily mission system

[vernal nacelle]

yep

[proper lodge]

Quicksilver is currency obtained from certain milestone in expedition and in missions

You can buy stuff for it in the shop on anomaly

[stuck berry]

They most likely have things unlocked from the Autophage #nms-commands message or from previous Community Expeditions which can't be done anymore outside of stuff on PC #nms-questions message

[vernal nacelle]

oh i mean i never used the misson board

[proper lodge]

Oh

[hazy berry]

thats streange i have gotten 1200 today, from the 400 quick silver missions

[vernal nacelle]

i have 3200 quicksilver

[spring whale]

I assume this a troll tactic?
I was building and this dude just start parking his ships around me?
People are silly. 🙄

[cursive coyote]

using the mods you linked, does it show to other people or no?

[vernal nacelle]

what day is it where you live? for me its friday

[hazy berry]

friday 21.40 or 9.40pm

[vernal nacelle]

oh. for me its 3:40

[hazy berry]

24h clock?

[stuck berry]

Does what "show"

The cosmetics are in the vanilla game, so yes.

[vernal nacelle]

15:41

[wanton granite]

yes, I said Per Floor, 5 for each floor got me 1k3/hour per floor. I didn't say I gonna made 1 floor. I just not sure what is the down side except need much more power.

[stuck berry]

The mod just adds a new way of unlocking the items. Other players alongside you will not see these options in their quicksilver store without the mod installed. They will however see you wear/have them equipped, as they are vanilla items.

[proper lodge]

Can my combat frigate and squadron assist me in battle against sentinels?

[shrewd jolt]

The current expedition has an almost full armor set
Just no helmet or jetpack

[hazy berry]

yeah i know, was just wondering if you were refering 24h clock or 12h

[vernal nacelle]

12h

[hazy berry]

depens where you are on the world which one thery use

[analog scroll]

5 per floor will not get you what you want. 2 per floor is the optimal layout. If 4 gets you 1.3k, 5 will likely only get you 1.35 or 1.4k

[cursive coyote]

ok

[vernal nacelle]

i live in the US unfortinitly (NOT trying to talk about politics)

[cursive coyote]

how do i upgrade my tech slots for exosuit here

[proper lodge]

On the right side from exosuit upgrades seller

[vernal nacelle]

its single use, look for exosuit upgrade

[cursive coyote]

i did that, it gave me regular storage not tech slot

[proper lodge]

You can choose

Press on slot

[vernal nacelle]

select tech inventory

[cursive coyote]

oh im dumb ig

[proper lodge]

Don't worry, we all gone though it

[vernal nacelle]

me too

[proper lodge]

Question remains unanswered

[stuck berry]

I believe it only assists against pirates

[vernal nacelle]

no, i dont think

[hazy berry]

ohh i agains sentinels

[proper lodge]

Useless frigates

And squadron too

[vernal nacelle]

i have mostly pirate crew, one organic

[proper lodge]

Can pirate frigates fight against sentinels?

[vernal nacelle]

no

[proper lodge]

Or it's just looks?

Sad

So combat frigates and squadron basically useless?

[hazy berry]

the colossus wheels. Are therte any difference in them. Some of them feel more slugguish when turning some not

[proper lodge]

Aside from looking cool

[vernal nacelle]

only for expidetoins

[hazy berry]

frigatates are not

[cursive coyote]

is it possible to make the free look feel instant not heavy and slow?

[hazy berry]

used for freighter missions

[proper lodge]

No difference however legs have a bit weird hitbox

Do they at least help fighting against pirate dreadnought?

[vernal nacelle]

nope

[proper lodge]

USELESS

[vernal nacelle]

i do it myself

with my op ship

[hazy berry]

they are as usefull as random caves

[proper lodge]

Truth we forced to accept😔

What squadron even do?

[vernal nacelle]

just make your ship OP

[hazy berry]

looks cool

[vernal nacelle]

and no need

[hazy berry]

they can technically soak up some damage

[proper lodge]

Thats more of end game stuff

[vernal nacelle]

how do you make them?

[proper lodge]

My ship is yet to be op

[proper lodge]

Make what?

[vernal nacelle]

sqadrens

[proper lodge]

But squadron slot

[hazy berry]

squadrons to soak up damage?

[proper lodge]

And recruit someone

You can't use your own ships

[vernal nacelle]

aww man

[hazy berry]

well technically you can

[vernal nacelle]

yay

[proper lodge]

Don't be happy

[hazy berry]

my squadron uses sentinel and living ships

[latent lodge]

Have there ever been any unique Freighters in the game? Like rewards from expeditions, etc.?

[proper lodge]

You can't use normal ships

Unless you sell it to some npc and recruit him

[hazy berry]

yes you can, you can give normal ships to squadron members

wit one neat trick

[vernal nacelle]

you can get uniqe crew, like organic or .sentinal

[swift sand]

freighters no, frigates yes

[hazy berry]

if you exhange the ship you want to give to the squadron member with the lifeforms current one. Then you need to rectuit them before they fly off

[proper lodge]

Are frigates from expedition always S class?

[vernal nacelle]

idk

[stuck berry]

So far, they have all been

[proper lodge]

Alright

[vernal nacelle]

ooohhhh

[stuck berry]

Though all frigates level up as they complete expeditions to S-Class anyways

[vernal nacelle]

my only S class it my organic ship

[proper parcel]

on new playthru and cant remember how to get acess to purple systems. finished artimus and atlas path

[proper lodge]

What chances to find s class frigate and are chances different based on economy like freighters?

[stuck berry]

Should be these

[scarlet timber]

the stars of a dissonant systm also affect the class of the sentinal ship? or is ti different than the ships that spawn in outposts?

[stuck berry]

Have you finished They Who Returned?

[proper lodge]

Isn't it's freighter chances?

[hazy berry]

not really worth it.

[proper parcel]

dont see it

[stuck berry]

Yes. System economy tier impacts all starships, freighters, multi-tools and frigates' class

[analog scroll]

It's the same

[hazy berry]

They level up, so just find C class with atleast 20 in its speciality stat

[stuck berry]

Yes, freighters use the same chance

[hazy berry]

that way they level up to S

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[stuck berry]

Have you lifted the seal of a Harmonic Camp for the first time on this save?
If not, go do that, then warp using your starship. If you are interrupted by a freighter battle, warp agaain

[vernal nacelle]

well if you will ecusee me, i will start playing and be back soon

[proper parcel]

nope that the thing thanks. theyu on disonant planets right?

[vernal nacelle]

man i hate dissonant planets....

[latent lodge]

Darn. Was hoping. LOL

[stuck berry]

Yes, all inhabited dissonant worlds. Dead and Weird worlds (which list Rusted Metal and Gold as resources respectively) are always considered uninhabited, as well as all worlds in uncharted systems (no race icon)

[vernal nacelle]

i hate those too

[scarlet timber]

i jsut found a really sweet and flat one

[proper parcel]

thanks much

[scarlet timber]

i wanna recruit my fiorst pilot, ill give im this A sentinal ship for now

[tacit smelt]

hey, when i got off the game a couple hours ago, i used the thing that saves ur game when u hold e on it and got off, but now when i got back on, ig that save didnt actually save and i just reset all my progress, is there a way i can load that save when it says that both my restore point and autosave are recent?

[scarlet timber]

can i put upgrades on a pilots ship?

[analog scroll]

If you want to waste them. Ship stats are nolt saved for your squadron

[scarlet timber]

ok then i keepo the base ship when i trade it for a pilot

[stuck berry]

The game autosaves every ~minute, and it would have saved if it said "Restore point saved". Whatever issue you may be having may be due to cloud save stuff with whatever platform you are on

[analog scroll]

Were you in a group, by any chance?

[tacit smelt]

no

[vernal nacelle]

i keep a save point in my corvette

[sick swift]

In the new expedition how do I get a space ship. This truck is soooo slow and the holes in the ground is soooo annoying

[scarlet timber]

you dont

thats the fun

you drive for 3 hours straight

[swift sand]

see <#nms-expedition message>, line 2 - exp21 is colossus focused

[cobalt iron]

this is for something?

[swift sand]

hex core - nah, no real use worthy of note

well, i guess besides egg sequencer iirc

[hazy berry]

i do wonder that if they will ever add an portable nutrient maker

cause theres no save place to cook

without afking for long time

i want to do somehting else too

[swift sand]

[hazy berry]

they are going to ban me if i send any more ideas

i hgave so many i want to send to them

[swift sand]

always feel free to

[wanton granite]

Thanks. btw, how many floors you build for gold until you don't need to care about money again?

[hazy berry]

not nms related question but how are you doing bk?

[analog scroll]

As many as you want, and as many storage depots per floor so that they fill by the time you want to collect again

[wanton granite]

Thank you.

[scarlet timber]

ok im confused, i found a A class pilot for the squadrion, changed my ship with it and now when talking to him he is C?

[stuck berry]

Yes, because now it is technically a different pilot

[noble steeple]

I got a quick question, what exactly does uploading your base at your base computer do?

[stuck berry]

It makes it so that players who reach the same star system will see the base, even if you are not in that system or offline
they however cannot modify it, or use it's refiners. They can harvest crops/supply depots, but this will not impact you unless you're in MP with them actively

[karmic vector]

Allows other players to see it if they ever arrive in the system

[scarlet timber]

can i upgrade the pilots? i thought when the website said "find a good pilot" they meaned their stats, but gues sits only their appereance then

[noble steeple]

Sweet, thanks y’all!

[karmic vector]

he will level up over time

[hazy berry]

yes

[analog scroll]

Yes, in the fleet status screen on your freighter

[hazy berry]

on one of the freigter terminals

[stuck berry]

You can upgrade their class using nanites at the management menu for them

[stuck berry]

Do they?

I have a save where I kept one at C-Class and it never increased on it's own

[scarlet timber]

and cna i change the wepaon of their ship? or also no effect liek upgrades?

[karmic vector]

i thooiought they did; i thought they behaved like frigates, which do.

[scarlet timber]

if i swich the ship to infraknife before i give it to them=?

[vernal nacelle]

and here i am, areadly locked myself out of my corvette

[stuck berry]

They have no "level", only class

[analog scroll]

Has no impact, they will use basic weapons

[hazy berry]

not possible as far as i know

[analog scroll]

Ship stats and upgrades are not saved

[karmic vector]

honestly the squadron never really does anything so there's not much point in paying attention to them

[analog scroll]

Only looks

[proper parcel]

harmonic camps will show up with scans from ship right?

[stuck berry]

You can open the door from the outside in most cases

[vernal nacelle]

well goodbye

[stuck berry]

or just save and reload to make it open

[analog scroll]

The only thing your squadron really, really excells at, is getting in the way of your shots

[stuck berry]

Possibly, but this could take many minutes or hours. It would be quicker to use an Echo Locator, which drop from 1/5 Dissonance Resonators.

[hazy berry]

and getting some nice cinematic shots

[proper parcel]

ah ok thats good thanks one rightnext to me now

[scarlet timber]

im hoping that some stray bullets of the suadron hit some enemies and thus delay their shield recharge while i try to aim at them again after they flew past me

[hazy berry]

is it possible to destroy your squadron

like they like to fly into the way of my 9k damage phase beams

[vernal nacelle]

is there anyway the pulse engine can go even FASTER?

[stuck berry]

You can fire them in the menu

but we cannot physically destroy their starships

[hazy berry]

thats good

[stuck berry]

Install and supercharge the Sub-Light Amplifier

[vernal nacelle]

okay

[stuck berry]

You can learn it's blueprint from Iteration: Hyperion

[vernal nacelle]

easy engoh

[stuck berry]

Also, supercharging the Pulse Engine increases pulse speed too

giving both of them adjacency also does

[vernal nacelle]

ooohhh

okay

[stuck berry]

Also note that corvettes have faster pulse speeds than other ship types. There's also a bug where this effect is multiplied when in multiplayer, resulting in distance across the system taking less than 10 seconds to reach

[hazy berry]

what is thea ctual use of this guy? i dont think i have talked to him since the anomanoly tutorial 400h ago

[stuck berry]

Speak to them when you reach a new journey milestone to be rewarded in Nanites

If you have all of them maxed out, you will never need to speak to them again

[analog scroll]

Ares gives milestone nanites, Helios gives nanites for discoveries (and a free emergency signal scanner once per week after you've done at least 1 mission)

[swift sand]

after all that's done, sell upgrade modules when i'm there and cant wait

[hazy berry]

what about the "exhange" thing

today he want gold nuggets

[swift sand]

minor reward in exchange

[hazy berry]

is cronos rng based? sometimes he loves my food and sometimes he personally throws me out of the anomanoly

even if its the same food

[swift sand]

partially yes

for example, even something like delicious vegetable stew, that has several cooking steps, often hits max reward, but sometimes, rarely, hits lowest

that said, food market might be more guaranteed

[hazy berry]

im kinda annoyed by it, i cooked 200 pilgrim stew and then he wanted like 25

[quartz minnow]

There was a tutorial for that?

I have about 88 hours and didn’t get a space anomaly tutorial

[hazy berry]

"400h ago" then times were differen i guess

im sure at one point there was mission that required you to talk to all of them

[quartz minnow]

I only had to talk to priest entity nada

And polo I think was his name

The gek near her

[hazy berry]

its possible i rememeber wrong, when i was firts at the anomanoly was in 2022

[fervent halo]

does every new expedition mean new update?

[stuck berry]

Every new expedition has been a part of an update. Some updates are extremely central around the expedition (like Breach, The Cursed, Adrift, Singularity, Fractal etc) but most of them are tied to an update that introduces something major outside of it, like Remnant being a big introduction to waste hauling

[fervent halo]

thank you

[proper lodge]

What technology should be repaired to summon space ship on space station?

[stuck berry]

Pulse Engine and Launch Thruster

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

Also

If ship is broken(aka all technology and cargo slots except pulse engine and launch trusters) does it affect what i get from scrapping it?

[frail turret]

Well, the survey of resources at a planet has led to this...
17/6 creatures, 18/11 flora, 34/20 minerals

[quartz minnow]

I finally bought NMS

[proper lodge]

You didn't have it all that time?

[stuck berry]

Only cargo slot count contributes to value (ship type and class also contribute)

[quartz minnow]

ye I was using gamepass

But now I actually bought it

that’s 63 dollars well spent

I got 120 hours before actually buying it lmao

[analog scroll]

2 months of GamePass Ultimate 😂

[quartz minnow]

ye lol

WHY DID I SPAWN IN A TORNADO

[shrewd jolt]

Im glad I canceled game pass lol

[analog scroll]

I bought the 2 games I was playing on GamePass and canceled as well a few months ago

[shrewd jolt]

I canceled as soon as the price increase was announced

[analog scroll]

Same

[shrewd jolt]

It was already pushing it at 20/month

[nimble wraith]

Do Gas Giants have power hotspots on them?

[stuck berry]

Yes, all worlds do

[nimble wraith]

Ok, just wanted to make sure I wasn't wandering in vain. thanks

[prisma lion]

whats the best exo to roam and harvest planets

[proper lodge]

Do they increase value on how much slots overall or how much slots available?

[stuck berry]

Available cargo slots (damaged cargo slots do not count)

[analog scroll]

Yes, but often not by the same amount as the cost of the slot

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

How useful is thing to collect atmosphere gases on freighter?

[karmic vector]

i find the pilgrim is the fastest and has less in the way ness when you exit it. that said, it sucks if you've got lots of water

[karmic vector]

it's spotty. doesn't always work.

[vernal nacelle]

yeah

[karmic vector]

i find it's more effective if it's to the edges and has nothing active built above or below it

[prisma lion]

are there harvesters, place something on front so you drive over them to collect?

[karmic vector]

nope

[proper lodge]

Is my freighter has to be right above planet or anywhere?

[stuck berry]

No, it just needs to be in a star system of that star color.

[karmic vector]

anywhere inn the system. the system color determines which gas you get

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

But it's inventory resets when you go between systems and some other stuff

[karmic vector]

and if you move the freighter before you collect the goods, sometimes it empties

[proper lodge]

I'm being in one system for quite long unless i need some resource or have quest in different system

[karmic vector]

much better off building a harvesting base on the planet.

[proper lodge]

Well i kinda homeless

1 box on first planet for quest and other for runaway mould

[karmic vector]

Doesn't need to be a home 😄

[proper lodge]

I don't have many things to build either

[quartz minnow]

I have mature neural stem and mature hear node, how many more waitimes do I need?(starbirth)

[karmic vector]

i think there are 5 organs? the fifth is built on the last planet

[proper lodge]

Also is there any better generator of electricity rather than that small thing that expires after 48 minutes?

[karmic vector]

yes there is a solar panel and battery, there is also the "electromagnetic hotspot" machine that gets about 150watts

[quartz minnow]

Does the fifth have a 24 hour wait time

[karmic vector]

no

[stuck berry]

Yes, of course there is. There's Solar Panels and Batteries, which last forever if configured right and with the right ratios, as well as Electromagnetic Generators which extract infinite power from EM hotspots found on planets with a Survey Device

[quartz minnow]

W

[proper lodge]

Perfect

[karmic vector]

related question, do you have the glyphs and do you know the location of an Euclid galaxy portal?

[proper lodge]

Isn't Euclid name of the galaxy and not the planet?

[stuck berry]

Yes, it is.

[karmic vector]

yes. but i am making sure you know of a portal somewhere in the euclid galaxy

[stable hornet]

is there a way to pause the game?

[analog scroll]

To do what?

[karmic vector]

the reason i ask is that the last stage requires using an Euclid portal.
and the first 12 glyphs. so if you dont have this, you have time to get moving on it while the rest of the parts mature.

[karmic vector]

if you tab out, it will pause, unless you're in a multiplayer system

[proper lodge]

Ohhhh

[stable hornet]

pause without logging out and come back. like if i have to step away unexpectedly.

[proper lodge]

Gotta make it quick

Also can i throw organs somewhere?

[analog scroll]

Open the menu, as long as you're not in the Anomaly or near other players

[proper lodge]

It's kinda taking up space inside my incentory

[stuck berry]

Open the pause menu then (outside of multiplayer)

[karmic vector]

i left them in the freighter.

[proper lodge]

I mean mature ones

[proper lodge]

I'll do the same

[stable hornet]

gotcha, is that the only way? do i have to have the nms window minimized?

[karmic vector]

you can buy inventory slot for your suit at space stations - once per.

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message pausing the game with the menu does the same thing

[proper lodge]

Ik, i have too many useful stuff

[stuck berry]

This menu with all of these tabs is the "pause menu"

[stable hornet]

i could have swore i tried that and my stuff was draining. i could have been mistaken

[stuck berry]

when it is open and the player is not in a multiplayer instance, the game is paused

[analog scroll]

Alt-tabbing can destabilize NMS, opening the pause menu (esc on PC, I think) pauses the game as long as you're not around other players

[stuck berry]

You probably mixed it up with the inventory, which does not pause

[proper lodge]

I'm desperate for salvaged frigate modules since i can buy teleporter with them(the one that allows me to use freighter inventory as long as it's in same system as me)

[stable hornet]

i thought i had tried that but could be mistaken, what is the best way to test if it is actually pausing?

[stuck berry]

Jump, then open it

[stuck berry]

Again, the only thing that overrides this is an active multiplayer instance

[karmic vector]

you wont hear the music

[proper lodge]

Why starship shield recharges in your inventory instead of starship?

[karmic vector]

becasue i use many ships

[proper lodge]

Alr

And i can't sort my inventory anyways

As of right now

I have things incoming and outcoming

[stuck berry]

Know that you can place these items in your freighter's cargo inventory and it will act as if they are in your exosuit cargo inventory for crafting, recharging and dialogue purposes if your freighter has the Matter Beam installed

[karmic vector]

Clean bins are a beautiful thing 😄

[stuck berry]

(Which is why mine looks like this, but there are a few spots I need to clean)

[karmic vector]

yeah but i havent gotten around to unlocking much cargo space on feighter.

[proper lodge]

Why you don't have storage rooms in freighter?

[stuck berry]

I do.

My freighter is not in the current star system.

[proper lodge]

Oh

[karmic vector]

expanded view of inventory doesnt show the tabs

[stuck berry]

It does, actually

The freighter not being in-system is what hides the tabs

[bitter crypt]

oh sick! i did not know that

[proper lodge]

Wait you can use matter beam even if freighter not in the same system?

[stuck berry]

For core cargo/tech, yes

[proper lodge]

Woah

I gotta get it

Some day, if i get lucky with that salvaged frigate modules

I hate them so much

[stuck berry]

and as I said before, items in the freighter cargo inventory are treated as if they are in your exosuit cargo inventory for crafting/recharging/etc if you have the Matter Beam installed

so you can keep all of your recharging stuff in there and keep a clean exosuit inventory to ruin via exploration

[karmic vector]

check every station for questgiver, and sometimes the nexus (anomaly missions) for frigate module as a reward

[proper lodge]

Can it take from storage?

[stuck berry]

No. Only cargo.

[proper lodge]

Sad

[stuck berry]

Storage I think it might, only when you are aboard the freighter

[proper lodge]

How to unlock more cargo slots?

[karmic vector]

item gained from doing derelict freighters

[proper lodge]

Alright

[stuck berry]

Interact with the Upgrade Control terminal and select to Add Additional Storage, but that requires having Cargo Bulkheads on you

[proper lodge]

Hol up, is stuff from storage rooms transferred when changing freighters?

[karmic vector]

do derelict freighter by getting a "locator" device from creepy uncle under the stairs at space station

[proper lodge]

Great, almost lost my life even thinking about losing all the stuff inside

[karmic vector]

storage bins never affected by anthing you do.
the tech installed and the main cargo will sell with the freighter, jus tlike with any other ship

[proper lodge]

Sadly i don't have billions of units, i'm broke

[stuck berry]

Basically everything transfers except tech/cargo inventories, which can be packaged beforehand #nms-questions message

[quartz minnow]

so I tried to install a hyperdrive upgrade and said technology overloaded

[karmic vector]

can only have three "bought" modules of each type. You can have as many "costructed" ones as you like

so you installed a fourth of type, and need to remove one

[proper lodge]

Is salvaged frigate modules tradeable?

[stuck berry]

You can give them to other players, yes (and vice versa)

All items support this, except for packaged technology that has been previously installed

[quartz minnow]

just got 1.5k hyperdrive range on my sentinel ship

[proper lodge]

Alright, what items i can give for them that have similar cost?

[half stone]

Are there more sentinels and predator attacks on permadeath or am I crazy?

[stuck berry]

You are correct about sentinels

[analog scroll]

That's up to the person giving them to you

[stuck berry]

at least compared to Normal/Relaxed

On-Foot Combat = Hostile increases the chances for worlds to have Aggressive Sentinels, and makes High Sentinel Activity the default to the point that the game stops telling you about it

[proper lodge]

Sad

[winter wolf]

ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[proper lodge]

Guess i gotta farm them myself

[half stone]

Okay so I'm not insane. That makes sense, honestly. I was just curious because the settings are the same as my normal save.

[stuck berry]

I believe it also makes them roam more frequently around you, as it also modifies low sent activity to make it act like high (since a few bugs can make it exist in that difficulty)

[half stone]

Also I get jumped by predators more often

[stuck berry]

I think predators are the same, but not sure

they should do more damage to you though, if the general combat difficulty option applies to them

[half stone]

I was just hanging and got jump scared by a mob of angry dinosaurs lmao

They do damage haha

[karmic vector]

They only LOOK scary.. they're actually friendly

(bonding moment for anyone who recognizes the inset)

[quartz minnow]

I just bought NMs on my Xbox, why can’t I play multiplayer?

[proper lodge]

I've seen animals that have close to human face and walk on two legs(not like dinosaurs, just on two legs vertically)

[karmic vector]

you need th emultiplayer pass thing

[stuck berry]

Do you have Gamepass Core/Essential?

[quartz minnow]

How do I buy it

[quartz minnow]

Nope

[stuck berry]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass#join

[karmic vector]

that's between you and Xbox. Has nnothgin to do with nms

[stuck berry]

You need the base subscription at least to play multiplayer on Xbox consoles for games that are not free.

[proper lodge]

I've been on a planet where these dudes surrounded me and bc they attack by bumping into me they started playing volleyball where the ball is me

Almost died

[karmic vector]

i assume near an abandoned building? the biohorrors have a launch atack. So so some of the stegosaurus dinos

[proper lodge]

Nope, those are just animals

[half stone]

Oh my god lmfaoooooo

[proper lodge]

I'll show screenshot of them to yall tomorrow

Unless i annihilate them before that

[karmic vector]

Scooby Doo is comign to get you 😛

[proper lodge]

What did atlas give to this squirrel😭

[karmic vector]

(yes thats a knowledge stone tiny winey down there at his feet)

[quartz minnow]

Just bought gamepass

AGAIN

[proper lodge]

Lmao

[frail turret]

Is there a chest where ancient bones can be stored?

(the way corvette parts are?)

[karmic vector]

no, but you can place them around a base, and leave them there as decorations and then pick them up again.

[thick elbow]

help plz with giant worms 3rd generation ALWAYS get those with the round mouth and long fat worm look. why?

[stuck berry]

Their gene splicing is limited, if referring to egg sequencing them

they only have like 2 variations per body part with gene splicing I believe

[karmic vector]

Bones as a base display tem

[thick elbow]

i have the egg from exp. but the kids always look same

[stuck berry]

you'll have to use save editing if you want different options, or another player to give you an egg of one, or the mod that allows you to adopt new ones from the wild

[thick elbow]

means i cant breed rhem other looks?

[stuck berry]

Yes, that's normal. It's variations from the gene splicer don't differ much at all from it's original appearance

[stuck berry]

Other than like a shorter body if I remember or smth like that, I do not think so

[wooden ocean]

This is going to sound so stupid but I haven’t played in forever (the mains story I love expeditions dearly) does the atlas path give access to portals?

[thick elbow]

uff

[stuck berry]

No. You have access to portals the moment that you have at least one glyph (which allows you to enter a sequence at all)

[thick elbow]

thing is. i got different looking egg and became same worm again😂

[stuck berry]

The main story, The Artemis Path, gives all 16 glyphs at it's end #nms-commands message

[analog scroll]

No, the main story unlocks the portal glyphs, but you can access them at any time

[karmic vector]

no. the artemis path does get you the glyphs unlocked at the end of th estory, but you can get those by exploring and talking to NPC travellers. And portals are attainable by anyone

and i need to type faster 😄

[wooden ocean]

Thank you guys I just got back on my main save after the new expedition and I want to do everything, really need the portal for the atlantid multi tool same with better combat ships

[karmic vector]

you need to complete the two paths anyhow if you want accesss to atlantid tech/weapon

[wooden ocean]

😔

[stuck berry]

You just need They Who Returned, which requires the main story to be completed

The Atlas Path is not a requirement to unlock Atlantid MTs

[karmic vector]

i thought they needed atlas as well?

interesting

[stuck berry]

No, they are tied to They Who Returned progress/completion

They Who Returned only needs main story to be done, as well as the first harmonic camp seal lifted

[karmic vector]

but yabbababble requires both paths?

[stuck berry]

In Stellar Multitudes requires both

which anyone would wanna do anyways eventually

[cobalt iron]

hi, why just one option is unlocked?

[stuck berry]

Because your freighter can only be at one star color at a time

[cobalt iron]

ah...

yellow i guess

[stuck berry]

When your freighter is in a red star system, it will create Sulfurine instead

same with the other colors and their gases

[hazy berry]

stellar extractors are incredibly unrelaiable most of the time

they tend to not to work

[stuck berry]

though using a Gas Extractor atop the relevant hotspot would be much faster and possibly more reliable #nms-questions message

[hazy berry]

atleast for me

[stuck berry]

yes, the Stellar Extractor Room's contents can be forgotten if you warp your freighter away

[proper lodge]

Anyone has spare 5 salvaged frigate modules?

[cobalt iron]

have any place where i see the color? or is just with eyes...

[karmic vector]

depends how you feel about duping 😛

[cobalt iron]

exampple in my system have 2 sun...

[stuck berry]

The first letter of the stellar class indicates it's color clearly

This is a yellow star system

[proper lodge]

I've seen on wiki that it can teleport in storage containers if there already is that resource

[proper lodge]

Wdym

[karmic vector]

the inside suns dont matter, only the outside map one

[stuck berry]

The suns in the skybox's colors are fully random, and aren't tied to the actual class of the star

[karmic vector]

there are ways to duplicate some items that haven't been and probably wont be patched out

[hazy berry]

try inn #nms-lfg-or-trades channel

[karmic vector]

and HG doesnt really care

[proper lodge]

I know a way to duplicate some items in refiner but salvaged frigate modules? I don't know how

[proper lodge]

Alr i'll try

[karmic vector]

yes those work too

[proper lodge]

Is there any way to check my inventory without joining the game?

[stuck berry]

Without using a save editor on PC, no.

[proper lodge]

What is save editor?

[stuck berry]

An external program on PC that can be used to view information about your save file and modify it

[proper lodge]

Alright

[stoic gazelle]

where is the 8th rock on the minerals quest for expedition 21

[tacit smelt]

im trying to mine sulphurine with a gas extractor and it says the extraction rate is 325/hr, but its beena couple minute and none have been produced, do i need something else?

[stoic gazelle]

nvm found it

looked the exact same as one of the other rocls

[karmic vector]

patience. You can mine that while you do other things 😄

[stuck berry]

Just keep waiting

[analog scroll]

Wait for a cycle to complete

[karmic vector]

it wont update until it has a good chunk to show off. It's shy liek that

[tacit smelt]

if i leave the galaxy while the gas extractor is harvesting sulphurine, will it not work? cause i heard theres a bug like that

[hexed kindle]

the extractor will continue to collect resources no matter what you do as long as it's powered

[cursive coyote]

how do i progress toward the galactic center

[proper lodge]

1. Longest way is to warp all the way to center
2. Find someone who has glyphs for planet near center
3. Probably in storyline it will get you there
4. Not really a galaxy center but you can choose to be teleported into another galaxy at the end of atlas path

[cursive coyote]

im in the storyline, it tells me to get there but doesnt tell me how

idk what to do

[shrewd vapor]

Hey hey, question. I've bought one of those heads for quick silver in the anomaly, how can i put them on? Couldnt find it anywhere.

[proper lodge]

Get glyphs from someone and teleport there

[cursive coyote]

where would i do that at

lfg?

[proper lodge]

You mean for yourself?

[shrewd vapor]

ye

[proper lodge]

Probably

[proper lodge]

Have you tried to use appearance thing?

You can find it on any space station

[shrewd vapor]

i was at the apperance modifier, yeah. But i couldnt find anywhere, thats why i came here to ask

[karmic vector]

STOP. Are you doing the PURGE quest?
It says head TOWARDS.. doesn't expect you to get there. In fact getting there too quick can screw up the quest.
Just wwarp. In a ship. The game will stop you after 16 warps and give you a choice to make.

EITHER CHOICE will cause you to break all the tech in your equipped ship, tool and suit. So make sure you have repair materials handy.

[still dragon]

does this work or should i slot in one of these

[unreal plover]

How far into a playthrough do you need to be until you unlock building/tech. related to companions? Like stuff for breeding, taming, customizing companions, etc.

[shrewd vapor]

Oh, about that. If i got repair kits, do those work on all sorts of tech?

[unreal plover]

I currently don’t have anything i can build yet related to companions. (And i thought i was a decent ways into my game)

[karmic vector]

you cant breed or customize. You can tame,a nd you can stick eggs into the modifier, but the eggs are only vaguely modified.

[waxen crystal]

What happens if I go through a black hole

[karmic vector]

yes but you'll need quite a few.
if you swap to a dummy toopl and dummy ship. you will reduce your need to repair

[waxen crystal]

Do I die

[karmic vector]

you go to ta distant place, nothign else

[still dragon]

to rephrase: do supercharged slots work with the base technology or to see any benefits does it have to be an additive modifier

[unreal plover]

Oh okay. So what is the buildings/tech. called and how do i unlock it?

[waxen crystal]

My friend said you go to another galaxy tho

I just wanted to check

[cobalt iron]

It says I should go to the space anomaly to talk to Tetris... But I don’t know how to get there.

[karmic vector]

general rule, put the BASE weapon on the sc slot and for movement tech put the "bought" modules on the sc slots.

[karmic vector]

not black holes no

[proper lodge]

Summon space anomaly using x while in space

[waxen crystal]

I’ll just google it

[cobalt iron]

even pressing X, i nosee that option

[karmic vector]

you dont unlock it, it's a booth on the anmaly

[unreal plover]

So there’s no blueprints at all for players to unlock, that relate to companions?

I’ve heard otherwise but they could be wrong i guess

[still dragon]

so for multi-tool/ship upgrades use the base weapon and for exosuit use the modifiers?

[karmic vector]

food pellets, autofeeder, and automilker. that's it

[unreal plover]

Weird, thanks for the info

[still dragon]

that does make sense since damage is an actually stored stat displayed

but with the core exosuit stuff they arent really stats, just unlocks for functions

[proper lodge]

Hmm it should be unlocked after one mission

[cobalt iron]

mainly mission? or secondary

[karmic vector]

let me rephrase
for DAMAGE related tech, the crafted core item (boltcaster) goes on the SC slot.
for MOVEMENT related tech, the "bought" item goes on the SC

[proper lodge]

After the awakening and it will start alone amidst the start

[still dragon]

and i would assume something like the teleport reciever has no effect with supercharged slots?

[proper lodge]

Did you get crashed starship from distress signal?

[karmic vector]

you have AWAKENINGS mission yes? finish that. it will get you to the anomaly.

[still dragon]

actually this is an interesting one, does the personal refiner get a bonus from supercharged slots?

[karmic vector]

no.

[proper lodge]

As i know nothing without stats can be supercharged

[still dragon]

alright, they should really have a notice that the technology has no stats that can be supercharged, even if it removed the yellow banner

but thanks

[karmic vector]

and actually if you put the landing/launching gear on a SC you can screw yourself out of a ride

[unreal plover]

Wym?

[proper lodge]

Is it gets broken?

[karmic vector]

the launch can bug and cost extra and actually prevent you from summon the ship form a sdistance

even if fueled

[unreal plover]

ahh dang

[karmic vector]

"out of fuel" error

not sur eif they fixed it or not

[still dragon]

i just put my vesper sail on my supercharged slot for my starship so that doesnt seem to be affected

pretty good stat buffs too

[cobalt iron]

probably no, i focused more in secondary missions.

when we found anomaly things... like that...
They gone after some time? or is forever.

[karmic vector]

nto the same thing

and you can find them again next time you are pulsing

[stuck berry]

They disappear when you go far enough away. This is unrelated to the Space Anomaly location that's unlocked by reaching the first mission of the main story

[karmic vector]

the anaomaly will become available on your quickmenu (same menu you use to summon your ship, just a little bit over)

[stuck berry]

To unlock the Space Anomaly, progress the primary mission with this icon.

[karmic vector]

we really should have that as an emoji

would make life easier than saying "not space anomaly and not atlas but whatever the other one is called right now"

[hot sand]

Question - if you buy a storage upgrade at a station for a corvette, is it like the multi-tool & exo-suit ones where you pick between storage and tech slots or is it just storage? I want to make sure as this is gonna cost me 75m

[stuck berry]

You can pick between Cargo and Technology, yes #nms-questions message

[karmic vector]

shoudl work the same as any other ship

[stuck berry]

this is true for all instances of acquiring slots for the Exosuit, Starships and Freighters

[hot sand]

Cool just wanted to check before I spent 75m on one single storage slot lol

[cobalt iron]

theycold add optino for put small ships inside the corvet

[hot sand]

I wish they added truly multiplayer ships

[dusky pilot]

Can someone help I just built my first corvette but it won’t let me get into it

[hot sand]

Did you add an entrance bay that’s attached to a habitat module?

[wooden ocean]

Does anyone know if the Mass effect expedition is coming back?

[dusky pilot]

I have the back door with the ramp is that what I need or do I need something else

[hot sand]

That’s should be it, did you attach that to the hab module?

[dusky pilot]

Yes it lets me operate the ramp button through the wall but nothing else

[hot sand]

Too hard to tell from that pic

[karmic vector]

looks like you built something in the way

[dusky pilot]

I got it I had to re attach it

Thank you for the help @hot sand @karmic vector

[proper lodge]

Best way to get units very fast in enormous quantities? I need like 100m+

[swift sand]

if you got the shards and inv mirrors already, an harmonic camp marked, scrapping sentinel ships is probably a good way to go about it. otoh, trade routes and/or smuggling could also be fun to you.

[proper lodge]

What is smuggling and trade routes?

[swift sand]

well, in short, it's the space trucker playstyle and the smuggler playstyle in NMS. smuggling pretty much revolves around acquiring illegal goods from outlaw systems and selling them to non outlaw systems. for trade routes, can just type !faq-units in #nms-commands , and check the relevant sublink there

[restive fulcrum]

first time seeing this what does this do?

[stuck berry]

Displays the coordinates to your star system to your communicator

[proper lodge]

Finna be a pirate

[restive fulcrum]

oh

[stuck berry]

that is all

[restive fulcrum]

so its useless

[swift sand]

so find an outlaw system, and then obtain illegal goods:

• either by buying them from the contraband agent npc in outlaw station
• or looting npc freighter fleet cargo pods
  head back to a regular system, and sell

[proper lodge]

How hard is it to destroy sentinel freighter and is it possible to claim it afterwards?

[swift sand]

• not really hard once you've understood what has to be done
• cant keep it, only blow it up to drop a carrier ai fragment

[tacit smelt]

for corvettes, do i have to find the parts? or can i craft them/research them

[proper lodge]

Already found one, thanks to the void egg that also helped me with getting A class pirate dreadnought but won't sentinels start attacking me if i destroy cargo pods? They spawn like a swarm and freighter health bar also appears

[proper lodge]

What is carrier ai fragment?

[swift sand]

only corvette parts we can craft from a blueprint are the corvette parts that were expedition rewards (deadeye cannon, aeron parts). the others, only acquire them via the possible ways

@tacit smelt also see <#nms-questions message>

[swift sand]

a consumable that marks a sentinel crashed ship site, using galaxy map if needed

[proper lodge]

What is the difference between normal crashed freighter and sentinel crashed freighter?

[swift sand]

won't sentinels start attacking me if i destroy cargo pods?
not if you're in an outlaw system
space police freighter only spawns at space wanted level 5 - also see <#nms-commands message>

[swift sand]

there are no "sentinel" i.e. space police crashed freighters

carrier ai frag leads to a sentinel ship site, not freighter

[proper lodge]

Ohh ship

That would be great

[swift sand]

it's fairly easy to both spawn and take it out

[proper lodge]

Not really easy when my ship has nearly zero hp

[swift sand]

get shield modules and phase beam

[proper lodge]

What phase beam does?

[swift sand]

3 s-class shields, + phase beam to leech off enemy shields

oh, also get fourier delimiter ofc

phase tech upgrade

[proper lodge]

Fourier delimiter?

Who even thought of that name

[swift sand]

good question

[proper lodge]

Will 3 s class shields still be good with c class ship?

[swift sand]

oh yes

[proper lodge]

Alright, thanks

[swift sand]

@proper lodge this carried me through the entire main storyline, no hassle

since we can store installd tech and modules, installing them on any ship isn't a "waste" anymore

[proper lodge]

Why do you have 2 B and 1 A modules?

[swift sand]

tech blueprints from the anomaly

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[swift sand]

those dont count for the upgrade module limit of 3 of the same type

[tacit smelt]

if i wanted to manually save my save, like on a file, can i do it?

[stuck berry]

Like copy it so that you have a backup?

How do I find cobalt trying to make the interior for my corvette

[proper lodge]

On the planets in cobalt deposits

Or galactic trade terminal

[bitter crypt]

caves

[proper lodge]

Or talk with random guy on space station or anywhere where npc ships can land and talk with the pilot and press first option

[cobalt iron]

What is the best way to get silk in the game?

[swift sand]

star silk? any trading eco type system, from trade terminal in the station for example

[cobalt iron]

this symbol mean eco type?

[swift sand]

yep yep

@cobalt iron to help, you'd be using the eco filter in the galaxy map, and looking at stars colored green

[cobalt iron]

i found one but no have silk

i will try again

[fervent halo]

question

[swift sand]

all trading eco types should have star silk for sale in the station's terminal yeah

[fervent halo]

if you encounture a dreadnought battle

and you reload the save

do i need to wait 3 hours again

[swift sand]

no, if you reload a save that's in the previous system, the game's holding at that point, requirements met, will trigger battle on the next inhabited system you warp to

[fervent halo]

thank you!

[swift sand]

you in a t1 system or something? what's the eco tier? was pretty sure they should all have star silk

[cobalt iron]

1, i cant go to others

[swift sand]

why not? sure you can

[cobalt iron]

here say... i need emeril

cadmo engine

i know cadmio, but idk cadmio engine

[swift sand]

well, either unlock those hyperdrive techs from the anomaly, or just find a yellow star system that's of that eco type and not t1. that said, you dont seem to have economy scanner installed - you definitely want that. unlock from anomaly ship research npc

remember that once you have emeril drive installed, you can dump cadmium drive

[fervent halo]

whats your guyses opinion on the armored set

the one you buy with quicksilvr

also is there a helmet for it?

i cant seem to find one

[hot parrot]

the colors are kinda muted

not a fan cause it doesnt match much

[stuck berry]

No. It's just the Vy'keen suit

[fervent halo]

ah okay

i used your sentinel dreadnought location grouch

[swift sand]

@cobalt iron fwiw, first t1 trading system i went to, on the station terminal

[shrewd vapor]

On pirate dreadnoughts, is there a way to toggle the colors of these lights accross the haul? The red lights. Can they be changed?

[hot parrot]

no

[quartz minnow]

What is glyph 0 supposed to be?

[fervent halo]

i think its suppost to be the sun rising on water

[quartz minnow]

I thought it was a ufo abducting smth😭

Lmao

[swift sand]

@dense skiff nope; though during staff assembly we do have some ways to what color scheme we get

[fervent halo]

the system ship is a pirate dreadnought when it should be a sentinal dreadnought

[dense skiff]

I hate you cant colour them

[fervent halo]

is that normal?

[swift sand]

well, the way it should go is there's a pirate dreadnought attacking a civ freighter (sentinel or venator)

[fervent halo]

i went to a system that has a sentinal dreadnought

[swift sand]

well, that's okay, that's one of the capital freighter designs we can get

e.g.

i'm not quite understanding what you're experiencing i think

can you post a screenshot?

[fervent halo]

hold on im warping

also

idk how to take screenshots on PS4

nor do i have my phonr

[swift sand]

well, taking screenshots on ps4 is easy enough, problem is if you cant transfer that to discord

the system ship is a pirate dreadnought when it should be a sentinal dreadnought
if you literally meant this, then that's a bug, pirate dreadnought should never be the one getting rescued

i've never seen that happen

[fervent halo]

no the pirate dread is the one attacking but it should be a sentinal dread the one in the photo

[tiny dune]

i cant find the next atlas station thingy

What are expeditions? like I've seen them but I haven't done any so far (I am on my first playthrough) mb

[tiny dune]

yeah

[swift sand]

1. what galaxy are you on?
2. what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing say you need to do?

[nova wyvern]

Basically limited time events for exclusive rewards, usually cosmetics

Occasionally ships and Corvette parts

I think the current one has a week and a half left

[swift sand]

oh you mean that the freighter being rescued isn't the one you expected?

[fervent halo]

oohhhh

[nova wyvern]

Pretty fun but if you're new they can be really confusing, but worth a try

[tiny dune]

hilbert dimension

[swift sand]

return to euclid try again - if it works now, please raise a bug report

[tiny dune]

okay thank you

[fervent halo]

i thought the sentinal would be the one attacking

[fervent halo]

i figured it out

ty for help

[magic fulcrum]

ahhSo should I like join it now?

[swift sand]

all good. for more detailed infos on the topic, can always type !faq-freighters in #nms-commands , check the pirate dreadnought battle overview link

[nova wyvern]

I would suggest that if you like the rewards

[fervent halo]

where are the dreadnought sheilds?

[magic fulcrum]

what goblin doesn't like rewards

[swift sand]

the command and sublink i suggested has images and everything 🙂

[dense skiff]

Smigal, he prefers a ring

[fervent halo]

this is so hard with a corvette

[dense skiff]

Cant include bobby, he a house elf

[swift sand]

maybe try with a diff ship perhaps, not sure

[fervent halo]

ima do it with a corvette

my corvette is the most update ship in my fleet

and im not spending an hour js to add upgrades

[swift sand]

i think all ships can do it, but if you're not enjoying your time with it atm, maybe try using a diff ship that's basically what i meant 🙂

[magic fulcrum]

I just need to figure out my headset so I can hear (not crap) and speak (and sound like a robot)

[fervent halo]

yeah im using my normal ship.

ts shit is pmo

[stuck berry]

You really don't need upgrades to make a Pirate Dreadnought surrender. Just shoot the hyperdrive, then shoot it's shields, then shoot it's fuel cells

[swift sand]

@fervent halo link <#nms-questions message>/see attached image for preview: images are linked in text, if you can't open them due to geoblock let me know

[fervent halo]

i miss using my normal starship

[stuck berry]

This video is of destroying a dreadnought, but it's basically the same process plus destroying the warp drive

[fervent halo]

do i do the same thing to destroy it?

[swift sand]

if you want to own a pirate freighter, you'd force a surrender; if you wanted to farm s-class freighter upgrade modules, you'd blow it up ignoring engines

no point blowing it up after a surrender

[fervent halo]

if i was helping a sentinel dreadnought destroy it?

[swift sand]

you need to rescue the npc freighter, how you do it doesn't matter to them

[stuck berry]

Then either way of defeating the Pirate Dreadnought works, as long as you do so before the capital freighter is destroyed

[swift sand]

if you werent looking to get a pirate freighter, then i'd say ignore its engines and blow it up to get that s-class module

[fervent halo]

is destroying their cannons importment?

[stuck berry]

It's an alternate way to make them surrender

[swift sand]

the npc freighter will be fine on normal mode even if you take a little bit - pirate freighter still has to chew through 100% of its shields, then 100% of the hull

[stuck berry]

destroying all of their cannons makes them attempt to flee

[fervent halo]

ah

[swift sand]

i personally never bother with cannons

[stuck berry]

which will make them surrender when their hyperdrive is destroyed

[fervent halo]

does that technically make me save the sentinel dread?

[swift sand]

yes

[fervent halo]

so sheilds then cannons?

[swift sand]

i just go engines+shields+fuel rods for a surrender

[stuck berry]

cannons don't need shields to take out

[fervent halo]

fuel rods?

[fervent halo]

ooh ok3

[swift sand]

all this is in that post i linked btw

[fervent halo]

thank you im gonna kick ass

[trim bridge]

Why waste time on warp drives?

It gives you like 30 seconds

[stuck berry]

To make it surrender, and avoid the 35 second timer

[trim bridge]

Isn’t surrender the worst outcome

[stuck berry]

No

[swift sand]

if i wanted the pirate freighter, no

[stuck berry]

The worst outcome is the civilian freighter is destroyed and the dread escapes

[trim bridge]

Oh lol

[stuck berry]

Surrender allows you to claim tribute, which gives much more units I believe

[trim bridge]

Fair

[swift sand]

6M

[trim bridge]

Im pretty sure allowing civ to get destroyed then disable it is the best cuz you get the s upgrade AND the tribute

6m is less than the money I scan a random animal tho

[swift sand]

not following - how are you getting both tribute and the s-class module?

[trim bridge]

Too time consuming to wait for civ to die

[fervent halo]

i failed :<

[stuck berry]

Yes, but that takes waiting

[stuck berry]

By allowing the dread to destroy the civilian freighter, while it's hyperdrive is destroyed

[trim bridge]

Disable pirate warp, wait for the civ to die, then disable the pirate turrets

[swift sand]

still not following sorry - so pirate dreadnought destroys capital freighter, player gets a module?

[trim bridge]

Im only doing dread for s upgrade farm so just blow up its fuel rods asap

[trim bridge]

Yup…

[swift sand]

lmao

yeah, i wouldnt really count on that being intended

[trim bridge]

I initially only disable pirate turrets and warp for it to surrender and got absolute dogpoop reward

Cuz you don’t get the upgrade

Idk why

One has to DIE

[tiny dune]

how do i find a dissosant planet

[swift sand]

well, sure, the pirate freighter goes in a minute here

[trim bridge]

On galaxy map it says dissonant

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

[tiny dune]

thank you

[trim bridge]

The hard part is actually finding a system for the dreadnought spawn to consistently happen

[swift sand]

just a matter of patience really

[trim bridge]

or go beg for a coordinate works too

[swift sand]

yep certainly

[fervent halo]

GUYYYYYSSSS

[stuck berry]

Not really, 20% of all outlaw systems have this property

[fervent halo]

I SVAED THE SENTINEL DREADNOUGHTT

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[swift sand]

nice! no need for caps btw

[trim bridge]

Oh that many, i mustve been unlucky

[swift sand]

20% of outlaw, and 10% of t3 conflict fwiw

[trim bridge]

Now is there a way to consistently spawn freighter rescue so I don’t need to go through the same parkour course the 70th time to get bulkheads

[swift sand]

just do merchant guild envoys then

[trim bridge]

How long does the perk prize reset

[fervent halo]

i bought it!

[swift sand]

all stations in the same galaxy map region are of the same guild, many of which will have bulkhead

[livid kayak]

They don't restock anymore tho, right? You'll have to go to another system after claiming your rewards

[swift sand]

right 🙂

[trim bridge]

Im getting maybe 1/3 of them bulkhead i mustve been doing it wrong

[swift sand]

nah, dont think so; that can happen sure, ymmv

[trim bridge]

Time to get the warps in

[swift sand]

yeah, a high eff ship, you're set

[trim bridge]

Eff?

[swift sand]

sorry, efficiency

[livid kayak]

efficiency

[swift sand]

havent really bothered going even more towards that, but my sentinel ship eats 3% warp fuel per warp

pretty sure it's possible to get it lower still

[trim bridge]

Iirc one of the guilds just hand out hyperdrive rod like candies

[swift sand]

yeah, explorer for warp hypercores iirc

[trim bridge]

Shite I don’t remember which region is the merch

[swift sand]

i've fallen back to using base comps

"explorer guild region here", and so on

[fervent halo]

how do i get jetpack-backpacks?

[swift sand]

there's a few

[trim bridge]

You mean different style?

[fervent halo]

yeah

[trim bridge]

I think some are expedition rewards?

[swift sand]

most are

[trim bridge]

Expedition fomo is real

[stuck berry]

One is a quicksilver reward, another is from lifting the seal of a harmonic camp

You also have a cape unlocked from the start, with more available as quicksilver rewards

[trim bridge]

QS store is kinda messy

[trim bridge]

Too many things in there

[swift sand]

there's some filters to help, but perhaps not enough

[magic fulcrum]

another question how do I recharge my expedition for my freighter

[swift sand]

navigator gives new expeditions after the refresh, 00h00 UTC

[livid kayak]

unless you're asking for a fuel for your frigates

[swift sand]

@magic fulcrum if you meant how to supply fuel to a fleet, just have fuel in an accessible inventory, not storage rooms

[fervent halo]

what helmet fits best with the armored set

[magic fulcrum]

bet

appericate

[swift sand]

there's lots:

[fallen breach]

so with the new expedition, im stuck at the part to build the vehicle bay thing for the big land vehicle but i dont have blueprint to put down a base computer, so i cant place the vehicle bay.

Any work arounds? havent seriously played nms in years lol

[swift sand]

geobay can be placed without a base

[fallen breach]

says no permission every time i go to place it

[swift sand]

lacking build perms, due to another players uploaded base

[fervent halo]

void mote?

[swift sand]

see <#nms-expedition message>, line 6

[livid kayak]

it's the autophages currency

[fervent halo]

how do i find that?

[livid kayak]

you earn it by completing missions for them, for example

[fervent halo]

oh?

[swift sand]

first need to complete they who returned quest

[fervent halo]

uhh

how far is that

[swift sand]

a little

[fervent halo]

im at paterns in time

[swift sand]

not at that point yet, keep progressing that

[fervent halo]

ah pkay

[livid kayak]

You'll get there

[fervent halo]

thanks guys

[livid kayak]

Man i still wish HG will rework the trading UI someday. A side-by-side menu, like when you compare your starships during the trade would be super handy, instead of scrolling throuhg your endless inventory on a list

[swift sand]

that's a good idea, i'd suggest submitting it if you havent already ofc

thank you for the help, got it placed and am now moving on lol

[swift sand]

nice! remember, that post i linked is pinned in #nms-expedition , should you need to refer to it later again

[dusky pilot]

Is this what they mean by space battles a bunch of freighters spawned but nothing is happening

[hot sand]

Any hints for beating the mech sentinel thing that attacks settlement? Bastard is a tank and im on a harsh planet so its even worse

[stuck berry]

This seems to just be a regular fleet, not a battle

Freighter battles only happen immediately when warping to a system, it will be extremely obvious

[dusky pilot]

I’m trying to get a freighter

[stuck berry]

The freighter will be under attack, and a mission will appear to save the freighter

[dusky pilot]

Ok

[stuck berry]

Then progress the main story

[dusky pilot]

Thank you

Pretty sure I completed it

[stuck berry]

freighter battles can only happen after a certain main story mission has been complete

[stuck berry]

So you have New Beginnings in your log?

[dusky pilot]

Lemme look

Nvm I don’t thank you for ome know

Me*

[stuck berry]

#nms-commands message The mission "Ghosts in the Machine" begins your first freighter battle partway through

Also, if you are playing on Creative, you can't have freighter battles spawn unless you change your difficulty options to set Space Combat to anything exept None

[dull prairie]

what is going on with my cursor

like a ton of map/objective/whatever icons are just like stuck in the middle of my screen

restart did not fix

[stuck berry]

Some sort of display bug

[dull prairie]

clearly

[livid kayak]

playing in a multiplayer session by any chance?

[dull prairie]

yep

i figured that might be part of it

[livid kayak]

try to disable it for a moment, restart the game and see if it's fixed

[dull prairie]

will try that next time i play, thank you

[quartz minnow]

How do I get Aeron parts

[stuck berry]

By completing the milestones of Expedition 20: Breach, which can't normally be done anymore

or by getting them from other players (ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades)

[quartz minnow]

Tried it
