[fierce coral]

I dont want it

Fudge..

[gritty sequoia]

thank you

[fierce coral]

Can i kill the person?

[limber kayak]

Also do you guys do things for the wiki here

I have a paradise planet that is 99.5%

[stuck berry]

The ones with weird color filters

[stuck berry]

No. As the guide I linked stated, you are supposed to ignore this one and try to not make it's marker clear

[stuck berry]

Which wiki?

The fandom wiki isn't maintained by any official thing, it's abandoned

[limber kayak]

Oh lol

[fierce coral]

ah

[stuck berry]

The miraheze wiki has it's own discord, but the owners haven't said anything in a while so I've been updating things randomly as I find wrong things

[limber kayak]

I’ll show you the planet any ways

[stuck berry]

The glyphs would help confirm it, as Worlds Part I and II somewhat rerolled which planets have which "paradise quotients"

this does not fix the value in your own save's wonder catalogue

[limber kayak]

Idk can you read that?

[stuck berry]

This is indeed not outdated!

This is the new highest one that isn't an outdated fandom wiki entry

[limber kayak]

Yippee

[stuck berry]

I will add this to that wiki's list

[limber kayak]

Thanks

[stuck berry]

whoever still runs the fandom wiki would probably behead me for trying to even conceive that old records could be outdated

[limber kayak]

My user is bookeater you can do that or giggler

[glossy terrace]

Alright yall sorry to change topic but what's the easiest/best way to get sulphrite? I need to eventually get a superconductor so I can finally finish the staff mission

[stoic gazelle]

is anyone else super confused about the lore of this game😭

[hollow epoch]

proborably

[hollow epoch]

#nms-lore

[fierce coral]

All Rank C, why are they all rank C?

[quartz minnow]

If it’s a class and above and you like it then I say yes

[swift sand]

sulphurine? small amounts, i usually get them from sentinel depot buildings, easily found with secure charts or exocraft radar tech - but it's also possible to get some if you build an atmos harvester on a scorched or barren biome planet (babysit the atmos harvester till its done). another advantage of sentinel depots is that you can get the products already crafted, e.g. enriched carbon, nitro salt etc

[swift sand]

you mean frigates? frigates class upgrade with more and more completed expeditions. frigates hired at c-class with less than 4 completed expeditions can often become stronger in the long run than natural s-class spawns

[fierce coral]

Thank you

[swift sand]

@fierce coral that said, remember that class drop chances are affected by system economy tier, just like ships. if indeed you meant frigates, i'd also suggest typing !faq-frigates in #nms-commands for more infos

[hollow epoch]

low ranking econemy

[hollow epoch]

what this guys say's

[fierce coral]

black market

[hollow epoch]

that cant be true i got loads of s clas outlaw frigates???

[fierce coral]

good?

[swift sand]

well, it is

[fierce coral]

ty

[swift sand]

remember that outlaw has an 85% chance for C

[hollow epoch]

i belive you

[swift sand]

so it's totally natural that someone else sees lots of C's

you got lucky hehe

[hollow epoch]

i have also got an a but i think thhats it for low class frigates

||several s class organic frigates||

i play too much

[swift sand]

if you need exploration score to help the fleet rn, that's not bad

[glossy terrace]

I only need it to start the crafting tree to get a superconductor

And I only need the 1 superconductor so I can finally finish the autophage staff mission

[swift sand]

well depots can be really easy to find as i mentioned already - either with exocrafts or secure charts. and those often have the gases

since i dont like waiting for an hour for atmos harvester to build, and if i didnt have a sulphurine gas mine already going on, i'd go for depots

[hollow epoch]

awh i hate sentinels they are sucha pain

[glossy terrace]

Yeah ill go for that plan

[limber kayak]

I found a cool moon

[swift sand]

in this case, we can often just first go inspect what resources are in the pods, then walk away and shoot them from afar

[glossy terrace]

I just gotta get my exo craft from Euclid to Essi

[stuck berry]

Just summon it at a geobay (or build an exocraft summoning station)

[swift sand]

on many planets, we can find a building type called sentinel pillar - that allows us to shutdown sentinels planet wide, and even reuse the same building

[stuck berry]

or summon your freighter, if it has an exocraft orbital materializer built in it

[hollow epoch]

but that involes fighting the little cretins

theye are justa pin to kill

not hard

[swift sand]

not necessarily. see <#nms-commands message>

[hollow epoch]

just boring

you still have to get past the guard!!

[limber kayak]

(Not really a question but since no on else is online expect for here I think) I found a moon inside another planet rings

[fierce coral]

how do i stop my ship from moving at all

[hollow epoch]

lol

[hollow epoch]

slow down

untill it stops

[stuck berry]

Yes, this happens

[hollow epoch]

left triger

@fierce coral its left triger

unless your on pc

then

[fierce coral]

im pc

[hollow epoch]

ask someone else

[main stone]

Any tips for getting a flying creature to come closer to me so I can feed it and capture it?

[limber kayak]

Also can you rate this covert it’s ment to look like a zeppelin

[stuck berry]

Can only do so in space, or in a sentinel ship/corvette in atmosphere

[hollow epoch]

7/10

[gray shoal]

Cant tame high flying animals

[limber kayak]

Thanks

[fierce coral]

i usually use S but it auto targets into pirates so its kinda thrash

[stuck berry]

Then disable that, or set it to be toggled by E

[main stone]

Saw a guy riding around on some kind of sky caterpillar the other day though

[hollow epoch]

well

[main stone]

And I'm on a planet with the same kind of space caterpillar right now

[sudden lichen]

What I should do?

[gray shoal]

Mods. Or got egg from player with mod

[hollow epoch]

if you can get high enough

[hollow epoch]

cant you bulid high and use the feeding machine?

[limber kayak]

Dose the glyphs have something to do with a planets position in the galaxy

[stuck berry]

Yes. #nms-questions message

The latter 8 digits are the region's coordinates in the galaxy

[quiet mica]

is it even worth it to get an S class freighter, ive come across three A classes in hopes of getting an S but ive been going at this for a better half of a day now and im wondering if i should just settle for A class

[limber kayak]

And I just lobbomized

[hollow epoch]

#love euclid

[tulip dust]

@quiet mica
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Should I settle for an A-class Freighter, or keep battling RNG for the S-class?

Mostly up to the player, but in short, the differences between A-class vs S-class Capital Freighters (including Pirate Dreadnought):

• 3 vs 4 supercharged slots;
• 50+100 vs 60+120 max inventory upgrade limit;
• Slightly lower ranges vs Slightly higher ranges to base bonuses;

Type !faq-shipspawns in #bot-spam for more info on drop chances per system economy tier.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

If you don't care about min-maxing frigate expeditions (upgrades do that way better), warping crazier distances than will ever be necessary, or the inventory upgrade limits, then it's inconsequential to go for A instead

[swift sand]

even with an a-class freighter or lower, your fleets will be more than op enough to deal with any, no worries

[sudden lichen]

Guys, what I should do?

[limber kayak]

My brain just went

[gray shoal]

They are just not programed to be tamed

[limber kayak]

Oh I can’t do house exploding gif

[fierce coral]

btw where do i get my squadron people

[stuck berry]

Recruit landed pilots

Buy more squadron pilot slots at your freighter's fleet management terminal

[fierce coral]

anything i should look for?

stats wise

[stuck berry]

if you think the ship looks cool

or if you think the pilot looks cool, or has a cool/funny name

[fierce coral]

combat wise

[limber kayak]

Idk if you guys saw this but

https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/fca61381-d9a9-4ed5-a4c0-fd84dcfea45d

[stuck berry]

they won't really help no matter what you do

their stats, class and tech inventory are not saved as squadron pilots

[main lotus]

Any tips for wrangling herds closer to my automated feeders without leaving the area causing existing livestock to despawn?

[fierce coral]

why not

[swift sand]

if you really like the pirate freighter, and you mostly summon freighter around, havent invested much into them yet besides building a base, you could take the c-class and still be happy about it. that said, class that drops is affected by system eco tier, and you could possibly reload and redo the event to try and get a higher class

[limber kayak]

https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/fca61381-d9a9-4ed5-a4c0-fd84dcfea45d

[hollow epoch]

pilot names are op

[limber kayak]

Dang

It’s a nms Lego set

[hollow epoch]

wow

[hollow epoch]

its an idea

[swift sand]

i usually try to throw pellets on the ground far from me/closer to animals in the distance (quick menu/creature/pellets), to try and attract them closer to the farm, and then let auto feeder do the rest. but be aware that there's a limit on how many animals can be on screen at some point (you might start seeing some despawn when some new ones get close)

[limber kayak]

I’m f it gets to 10,000 supporters it has a chance to become real

What is the closest earth shaped planet you have ever seen

I mean like the land is shaped like ours

[swift sand]

i've seen some close, like, some of the continents, but never like ours

"oh that shape looks like africa"

but it's literally not possible to be like ours completely because, well, 1) no ice polar caps, etc

[limber kayak]

Is there a planet that has no land?

[swift sand]

yeah, but those are in a special kind of star system that is quest locked

[limber kayak]

Have it

I have it done

[stuck berry]

Yes, waterworlds found in purple systems have nearly no land. There's also some othr worlds in purple systems that just have deeper water, and some terrain types don't expect this and make it so there's no land

[swift sand]

you'll find some waterworld biome planets with no islands at all

the kind of planet where you could spend 30minutes looking around all around the planet using photo mode and all, and not see a single one

[limber kayak]

That hardest part of that quest was that there was a quest item I needed

And I had it

And left it in my ship

And it took me like 10 years to figure out I left it in my ship

Obtaining Lithium/Finding a Waterworld biome planet

Requirements:

• Purple star systems unlocked.
  -# 📖 Type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands.

1. Look for a Gas Giant system - they're tagged as such in the Galaxy Map.
2. Land on the Gas Giant planet: obtain 1 Crystallised Helium and 1 Activated Quartzite (e.g. from mineral deposits), refine Crystalized Helium+Activated Quartzite to get Lithium.
3. Open Catalog & Guide > Materials & Items, Raw Materials - Exotic;
4. Cursor over Lithium, press Locate key/button.
5. Follow new mission objective and to the marked system in the galaxy map.

After reaching marked system, look for any planet with Lithium on the resource list.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

they're fairly easy to locate - though sometimes finder mission bugs and one has to warp out first, then locate again

[limber kayak]

Would the system say if there’s a water world in it?

[stuck berry]

No

But the planet will say if it has Lithium (and will have a waterworld biome descriptor) #nms-commands message

[limber kayak]

Ah

[quartz minnow]

How do I find the perfect paradise planet?

[stuck berry]

By just looking around. What do you consider "perfect"?

Lush worlds are given the name "Paradise Planet/Moon" when they have both No Storms and Low Sentinel Activity (infested/relic lush worlds also do not qualify)

[quartz minnow]

green grass blue sky and no storms

[stuck berry]

They can still have predators, or look ugly, so that's within the player to weed out

[stuck berry]

Then you could even look for worlds that have high sentinel activity, as they still have a chance to lack storms fully. The weather reading on their discovery page shows a word that aligns with their storm presence, all of them are listed here https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Weather#Lush

[hollow epoch]

perfect

[tacit smelt]

are there building parts where its like a giant window? like just a trimmed wall with glass all inside, cuz i dont see any in the anomaly research

[hollow epoch]

i have a planet thats blue grass green sky and constant storms

[stuck berry]

It's all just chance to find what you want, and the will and knowledge to know what to look for etc

[hollow epoch]

literaly never ending

[hollow epoch]

its slighly op

constant storm crystals

[stuck berry]

At best, there's this which can be tiled

[hollow epoch]

it must be a glitch

[tacit smelt]

eh, nah

[stuck berry]

and some people glitch Bio-Domes to be colossal

[tacit smelt]

what

[hollow epoch]

how?

[tacit smelt]

yea

[stuck berry]

#nms-base-building message

or mods on PC that allow you to scale anything to nearly endless sizes in-game
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1096
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3291

[hollow epoch]

ty

[stuck berry]

or an external program that allows you to manipulate base objects however you please (https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2598 or https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984)

[hollow epoch]

btw grouch do you know of a biome or glitch that makes constant storms and constant storm crystals?

[swift sand]

gas giant biome

always storming, storm crystals always activated

[hollow epoch]

no its a normal planet

[swift sand]

then it's just an extreme weather planet with a really long storm duration and a really short interval

[hollow epoch]

thanks

[stuck berry]

Yeah, only Gas Giants have truly endless storms

all other extreme worlds follow a schedule that's just really frequent

[hollow epoch]

okay

hey what planet is the ad on?

the one with red grass

[stuck berry]

"the ad"?

[quartz minnow]

I found another rlly nice one

That’s earth like

When warping through yellow systems

Btw may I ask

How do you add these overlays?

[stuck berry]

By making a gazillion layers in gimp that each represent a specific thing

With only like two layers dedicated to actually inputting text (the name and the glyphs)

[mystic lake]

is there some way to automate getting carbon

[stuck berry]

And using https://nmsce.com/ to scan the glyphs and actually post them

[mystic lake]

besides refining oxygen

[stuck berry]

No

[limber kayak]

Has any one ever made a base the size of a planet

[stuck berry]

Not really, since they don't render when in space

or even a significant distance from the base

[limber kayak]

Dam

[stuck berry]

We can only operably have base objects within 1,000u of the original base claim position #nms-commands message

[quartz minnow]

The planet I found that’s perfect is a verdant planet named ballon

Something funny too

I landed on it

And got a record for “most perfect”

[limber kayak]

Is there any planet that has a ton of naturally spawning bases

Like a city planet

[stuck berry]

All inhabited worlds already have settlements spread across them, as well as "wild base computers" which are a structure specifically so you can have a big open flat area to build with

beyond this, there's no "city planets"

[limber kayak]

Do you use some sort of thing to help you find your planets like the mincraft seed finders and the 2 chunk cactus loader

[stuck berry]

No.

[limber kayak]

You do it brute force

[stuck berry]

No.

[limber kayak]

How many times have you slammed you head against your wall

[limber kayak]

What is your hours on nms

[stuck berry]

Not enough

[limber kayak]

WDYM not enough

[main stone]

Some questions are better left unasked 😂

[limber kayak]

So your telling me you just brute force finding planets

[stuck berry]

If brute force means warping, checking, then warping, then yes

[limber kayak]

That is the definition of brute force

[stuck berry]

In the minecraft context, brute forcing could refer to setting up tools that check thousands of seeds per second

[limber kayak]

Do you even play any other games or is just nms

[stuck berry]

Others, but I always come back even when I've ran out of things to do

[limber kayak]

Are you the one who found those planets that everyone builds bases on

How much free time do you have

Better question what do you have more of, free time or hours on no man’s sky

[inland inlet]

I respect the grind

Sometimes you find something that tickles your fancy and you allow your fancy to be tickled

Some people sit home and watch TV in the afternoons, all afternoon, for like six hours a day, what you do with that time is up to whatever you find satisfaction with

[mystic lake]

could be worse

some people play hypixel skyblock

[swift sand]

let's try and stick to channel topic

questions and answers about nms

[mystic lake]

I'm looking to build a statis device farm but this seems very high effort

is there something intermediate

[swift sand]

often people went for living glass or circuit board, if still wanting to crafting

[limber kayak]

Ya but I think gronch is living in a pocket dimension that dilates time just so he can play more NMs a day

[inland inlet]

Speaking of channel topic

Community Research is summat I feel like the Wikipedia doesn't really explain. Does it unlock something when full? Are the 400 Qs missions a result of the research or what fills ot out? Are they the 12 community missions on repeat or something? When the bar gets full, what does the community earn, like could I talk to Polo for a bunch of free Qs?

[swift sand]

When the bar gets full, what does the community earn
new items added permanently to the quicksilver shop, per tier

research progresses by players doing quicksilver nexus missions

there's also a 1800qs mission every weekend

[limber kayak]

Mmm I love drinking mercury

Quicksilver is just another name for mercury

[inland inlet]

And-- woah, that feels pretty huge.
Do we know what those items are ahead of time? And, like, how often is there new community benchmarks?

[mystic lake]

is there a guide on how storage depots and stuff work

[swift sand]

not sure what you mean when you say "community benchmarks", but if you goto the quicksilver shop rn, and go create quicksilver items, you can see the last items that are added/are going to be added at the top

[swift sand]

you mean supply depots, the ones we connect to mineral/gas extractors?

[limber kayak]

The mercury shop

[mystic lake]

yeah

[quartz minnow]

Why do I make 4m units everytime I scan something?

[swift sand]

"benchmarks"?

[mystic lake]

I don't know if I'm missing connections or there's some nuance to it

[swift sand]

well, they store materials, up to 1k each, if you pipe a bunch of them connected, their storage capacity gets pooled

[swift sand]

what is the issue exactly?

[limber kayak]

Quicksilver is a fancy name for mercury

[mystic lake]

right know I connect each extractor to a supply depot

[swift sand]

right. just not seeing the connection with "benchmarks"

[mystic lake]

and each supply depot to another one behind it

when i have 8 extractors and 8 depots, I get 10k storage

but i set it up for another farm and got 9.750

[inland inlet]

Think of the pipes as networks akin to how the electricity works. Every depot just adds another 1000 storage and an access point as long as it connects to the same network of pipes from an extractor.

[swift sand]

8*1000 = 8000, 8*250=2000, 8000+2000=10000

[swift sand]

1 less extractor

[limber kayak]

Man idk I’m tired and when I’m tired I get really autistic

[mystic lake]

oh

should recheck

[inland inlet]

I don't think that means what you think it means

[swift sand]

yeah, probably just forgot to build one

[limber kayak]

I am autistic

That is what it means

[mystic lake]

so could I connect all the extractors to like 1 "master" depot, and connect that depot to a bunch of others?

[limber kayak]

Ik what it means

[fierce coral]

Peak

[limber kayak]

I have autism and adhd

Man

Cya

[swift sand]

can connect them in a series

[inland inlet]

I don't think the behavior you're referencing as getting worse is on a spectrum of autism. Sounds like you're just regular tired.

[limber kayak]

Oh

lol

[crimson owl]

Okay, but this is a channel for questions about NMS. Can we keep it to that please?

[mystic lake]

ah ok

[limber kayak]

Sorry

[mystic lake]

so something like this is pointless

[swift sand]

yeah, that's just adding complexity you dont really need

@mystic lake here's my pipe connections

[inland inlet]

Each extractor gets a little less efficient when part of the same network! There can be a little nuance to it, like having several networks each with 4 extractors to maximize efficiency, but usually naw no reason

[tulip dust]

@mystic lake about diminishing returns:
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Added another extractor, now all extractors are harvesting less per cycle?

Reason: Diminishing Returns.
To get around it, player must split extractor (and supply depot) into separated groups, where each group's extraction rate doesn't go above 1,000/h. See in game example.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[mystic lake]

oh really?

[swift sand]

only if an extraction group goes over 1k/h

[mystic lake]

all these extractors are independent though

each one is connected to its own supply depot

[swift sand]

those pipes crossing it together are connecting them anyways

[mystic lake]

like the visual crossing?

[swift sand]

and the depots being too close, and extractors being too close to each other etc

[inland inlet]

I think you're making it a little complicated.

[swift sand]

proximity can connect stuff wirelessly

[mystic lake]

oh

[swift sand]

all these crosses

[mystic lake]

oh damn

[mystic lake]

ah so you're right about it not being worth it

seems like a lot of effort for a marginal increase

[swift sand]

the nr of extractors per group on an hotspot depends on hotspot class

did you notice that i had them in floors?

[dusky pilot]

How do I fish

[swift sand]

there's a reason for that

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

[mystic lake]

what classifies a "group"

[dusky pilot]

Thank you

[swift sand]

first floor, all that's there, isn't connected via pipes nor close enough to the stuff on the 2nd floor, therefore, 2 groups, 1 per floor

all 4 extractors at the same strength

if i were to connect the two floors, i'd have one group

[mystic lake]

oh

what are those btw

[swift sand]

can you clarify?

[mystic lake]

are those mineral extractors?

they seem small

[swift sand]

yes

[mystic lake]

oh

I'll try that out for the next farm

[quartz minnow]

How do I get a vault

[mystic lake]

I know better than to mess with whatever I've made

[quartz minnow]

?

[mystic lake]

these?

[quartz minnow]

Ye

[swift sand]

storage containers can be unlocked for free via base comp archives and expanding the base missions, or with salvaged data from anomaly construction research station

[quartz minnow]

I’m in creative

[stuck berry]

Then you already have the blueprints, if you began this save in creative

[quartz minnow]

but what section

That’s what I was asking

[swift sand]

in the build menu?

[mystic lake]

thanks

[quartz minnow]

Ye

[swift sand]

they're in there somewhere, i dont recall which one exactly, you may need to scroll tab down

[inland inlet]

Longshot before I spend another hour driving around but

Any more efficient or practical ways to find S rank deposits than frequent Nomad stops? And are there specific strategies for digging through a lot at once, like, a grid they spawn on or strategies to find rarer minerals like gold?

[stuck berry]

If a planet doesn't list the mineral, you will never find it as deposits/hotspots

[mystic lake]

does connecting more supply depots reduce the amount gained from extractors?

[stuck berry]

I don't believe any deposits/hotspots are rarer than each other on the same world

[quartz minnow]

Found em

[swift sand]

the depots themselves dont, no

[quartz minnow]

What’s the difference between storage container 1-9?

[dusky pilot]

How do I buy the flat bed trucks in ten game

[swift sand]

different objects that access diff inventory tables in your save file

[stuck berry]

Each one is a different inventory

[quartz minnow]

?

[stuck berry]

Minecraft ender chests but you have 10 if them

[swift sand]

see image - unlock gravitino coil MT tech from anomaly MT research npc, follow tutorial mission

[fervent halo]

i have a theory of the meaning of 16

so in real life

when you have to deside who to stay with

the age for that is 16+

[quartz minnow]

Ah ok

[fervent halo]

and that technically means freedom

16 = freedom?

[tacit smelt]

how do i get a mind control device?

[quartz minnow]

So wait what if I place multiple of the number 1

?

[fervent halo]

cant

only 1 of 1

[stuck berry]

You can access the items from other copes of storage container 1, basically just more access points

and yeah, only 1 of each number per base

[quartz minnow]

Ok

[mystic lake]

can i disable this without removing it

[stuck berry]

you can build them on a different planet to see the same items

[inland inlet]

I mean, I figured something like that was the case but there's just...

Just no documentation. It's infuriating, but I guess that's what all the research is innit

[tacit smelt]

how do i get a mind control device?

[stuck berry]

Unlock it's blueprint from the freighter upgrade control, then craft it

[swift sand]

freighter fleet consumable; freighter bridge, upgrade terminal, base parts&upgrades, it'll be in one of the research trees

[mystic lake]

can this be disabled without removing it

[stuck berry]

No.

[mystic lake]

oh

[fierce coral]

🥀

[dire stratus]

Safe to assume that getting the Starborn Phoenix is out of the question at this point?

[stuck berry]

Outside of unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message and trading the ship between players using a minor glitch #nms-legacy-ships message, yes

[dire stratus]

Cheers, thanks! Bad news, but that’s how it goes.

[tacit smelt]

how do i get salvaged frigate modules?

[stuck berry]

Many different ways, with three main, consistent-ish ways #nms-questions message

[fierce coral]

very happy

my first natural S

[tacit smelt]

yk those pirates who show up after you warp to a new space, and the mission is to destroy the freighter sheild by going under it, i was never able to do that, cuz i didnt know where i was supposed to be shooting.... where am i supposedto be shooting?

[raw pelican]

i been more than 1 hour grinding dissonant but it only droppin inverted mirror never the echo locator any way to make it drop echo locator?

[stuck berry]

Going through the trenches to destroy the shields, then again to destroy the fuel cells. Also, destroying the hyperdrive makes it surrender when it reaches 25% health

[stuck berry]

Luck, it's a 1/5 chance allegedly

[raw pelican]

ohh

after get 1 i will dupe it

like hundred

[fierce coral]

i usually when i have enough inverted mirrors i just look at what it says under its name if its echo locator i destroy it if not i leave it be

[raw pelican]

im doing that

[fierce coral]

but u can transform the mirrors into nanites so dont be lazy like me

[fierce coral]

🙏

[raw pelican]

how u transform

refine?

[dim flare]

How many or what s class ships can I get from people landing in space stations then I buy

I have yellow ball 1

[raw pelican]

how much per inv mirror?

[stuck berry]

Ship class chances are fully random, based on system economy. Exotic and living ships are always S-Class, so they ignore these

[raw pelican]

damn 5%

[dim flare]

Ohh and exotic is this? I just got it

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is an exotic ship

each star system has one design of it

[fierce coral]

slowly but surely

[dim flare]

Is that the only exotic you can get from the space stations

[stuck berry]

From that star system, yes.

[dim flare]

Is a star system the ball you are in?

When you go on galaxy ma0

[stuck berry]

It's the star system you are in. Each star system has between 2-6 celestial bodies (planets/moons)

Each dot on the galaxy map is a star system

[dim flare]

Oh alright

[stuck berry]

You can also find ships at trade outposts or just flying around/landing at landing pads

[dim flare]

So then there is 1 trillion types of exotic ships?

[raw pelican]

nah

[dim flare]

Oh the same one can be in multiple systems

[stuck berry]

A few hundred trillion, yeah. They have a limited amount of variations, of course

[fierce coral]

why does it say its the same when its not

[stuck berry]

Probably because the difference is not significant

also, they have different hyperdrive tech installed so that is guaranteed to be off-balanced

[fierce coral]

I see

ty

[dawn quail]

is it possible to use a short distance teleporter on 345 u ?

[fierce coral]

i normally just shift for 1 second and stop

[dawn quail]

shift ?

what does it change

[stuck berry]

They have a limit of 200u. You can use a second one to reach an extra distance if needed, but of course that's more tedious

[dawn quail]

ok thx !

[stoic gazelle]

What do I do for this quest

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message Progress towards the galactic center, by warping

You will need to warp 16 total times

[stoic gazelle]

ah ok

[untold cove]

my friend is in the atlas station, trying to progress 'The space anomaly'. 5-6 times we've picked "yield"... something. But yield is now just greyed out and all he can choose is "refuse"

[fervent halo]

then thats the only one you can do

[untold cove]

is it because he's missing an indium drive?

[stuck berry]

Are you in multiplayer together?

If so, this may be why

[untold cove]

we were, not anymore

stillllll the same problem

[stuck berry]

Has he reloaded since then?

or is this still the instance that was in multiplayer with you previously

[untold cove]

restarted and all that

[stuck berry]

Then that is very curious

[stuck berry]

Also note that this isn't related to the mission "The Space Anomaly"

The Space Anomaly stops being a mission after it's tutorial, beyond occasionally giving Nada info about what's happening in the main story

[untold cove]

what the heck are we doing then

lol

[stuck berry]

Either the main story or The Atlas Path

which both interact with them

the main story teleports you to them, while The Atlas Path asks that you seek them out and board them with your starship

[stoic gazelle]

DINOSAWWW!!!!

[stuck berry]

Each one of these is a portal glyph, which you can now use to enter at portals to reach any planet in the galaxy

-# outside of purple star systems at least

[stoic gazelle]

ooooo very noice

[untold cove]

how to complete this?

😭

[stoic gazelle]

it means to get more milestones, like talking to aliens/learnign words or "hundreds" of other things

[stuck berry]

Can you show a more comprehensive view of the mission?

[stoic gazelle]

click this

[stuck berry]

This is most likely a pinned journey milestone

which isn't a mission

it can be unpinned at any time

[stuck berry]

or it's The Atlas Path, which asks that you progress the main "Overall Journey" thing

[stuck berry]

Achieve more ranks in any Exploration or Survival Milestones

in Catalogue & Guide > Journey Milestones

[untold cove]

alright thanks

[stoic gazelle]

am I supposed to have my sound on for this lol or is it silent

[swift sand]

65 days of static - supermoon is an awesome tune

[stuck berry]

It plays music

[stoic gazelle]

oh

[stuck berry]

if you have your music set to 0, you won't hear anything

[stoic gazelle]

damn

i thought my game was tweaking

[stuck berry]

It is supposed to play this https://youtu.be/PZAM-_5h4QE

at least, the second half of it

[dim flare]

So far to get pieces for my Corvette ship. I've been looking for salvageable scrap I think is the fastest but there are just so many Corvette pieces and I need like lots of them. Are there any other ways to do this? Possibly faster?

Or to get specific parts?

[fervent halo]

mostly get random peices but enough to build corvette

smn basic doesnt matter

then you can use that corvette to find corvette parts

[stuck berry]

Yes, since you can use your analysis visor to mark salvage containers while aboard your corvette in the air

then get in it's seat and fly over and shoot the container through the ground

[dim flare]

Oh

[stuck berry]

the cyclotron ballista weapon is best for this, as it has the greatest blast radius

[dim flare]

I can shoot I'll try that

I've been using my other shop

[dim flare]

How do I get out of my small Corvette shift when it's in the air though?

[stuck berry]

Quick Menu > Leave Pilot Seat

[dim flare]

Oh okay thanks

[austere garnet]

I just found a really nice paradise planet, but my hazard protection is going down even though the game does say "Paradise". Is this a bug or did I just get really unlucky?

[stuck berry]

Either a bug or developer choice related to floating island subbiome

[austere garnet]

Hazard protection is going down while standing outside

[stuck berry]

it uses both lush, desert and swamp weather types for some reason

desert weather includes constant passive heat

it's the only subbiome in the game I believe that uses weather from a whole different biome

I'd advise reporting this as a bug tbf, as it doesn't make a lot of sense

[austere garnet]

That's kind of a bummer, I'm really fond of the floating islands subbiome

[stuck berry]

but by all definitions, it's intentional (defined in the subbiome's data file very clearly), could still be a typo but this has been the case since the biome was added in WP1

[stuck berry]

This only affects a few floating islands lush worlds, not all of them thankfully

[austere garnet]

ah alright, thanks so much

[severe crown]

I think my "visited systems" list is showing everything I've even moused over on the galaxy map. Which makes it very cluttered. Is this what it is doing for everyone? Is it intended? And, if so, is there a way to make it stop?

[austere garnet]

Most likely going to build a base here still, love the looks

[quartz minnow]

any hazardous flora around?

[austere garnet]

Every planet has some. This one, with its elevated terrain, seems to have less

you can always destroy the hazardous flora with mining beams or terrain manipulator

[quartz minnow]

It’s the temperature

that’s 160 degrees Fahrenheit

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is due to the quirk I described here #nms-questions message

It's defined here I believe, in METADATA/SIMULATION/SOLARSYSTEM/BIOMES/ROCKY/ROCKBIOME.MBIN

[austere garnet]

Thanks, your explanation cleared up my confusion

[stuck berry]

I think this is how some lush worlds choose to have bubbles too

which is why bubble ones never have storms unless overridden with extreme weather, in which those storms are harmless

because bubble worlds themselves don't have storms

[raven dune]

Do the portals actually allow me to find really cool ships

[stuck berry]

They allow you to travel to any planet in the galaxy (except for purple systems if you haven't finished that mission), so you can basically reach any discovery anyone else has posted to the internet, including ships, freighters etc

[raven dune]

Oooo nice is there a website for the glghs

[quiet mica]

is there a difference to recruiting pirate frigates and combat frigates, or are they just reskins

[stuck berry]

There's many good ships that other players have documented and posted, to be grabbed by other players. Some good websites are https://nmsce.com/, https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/, https://nmsint.vercel.app/ etc. Here's a few useful/cool things I've found that I always show people

[stuck berry]

Pretty much the same functionally

[tacit hamlet]

Hey guys! I have a very important question and recurring problem with NMS. I have a RTX 5060 with 8GB of VRAM (IK you will say thats trash and ofc my game is bad blah blah blah) but hear me out. Even on enhanced settings, I have huge VRAM leaks that just ruin the experience for me. I can play for only around 1-2 hours, before I have to either brave the VRAM storm, or restart the game (that does not always help btw). Clearing gpu cache does help, but its kind of tedious, but if there is no practical fix I will have to just stick to routinely cleaning the cache. I did try to use DLSS, but that never solved the issue. I have a Intel core i7 12700kf, so no gpu/cpu bottleneck is present (yes IK, the stuff is kind of old but thats just the market these days.) I can play other games such as Assassins Creed Valhalla (max settings btw) and KCD2 (also max settings) easily, but NMS is just not working with me for some reason. Does anybody know the solution for this issue?

[winter wolf]

im not knowledgeable on this at all, but ive seen some discussion in this channel about how steam overlay can cause a memory leak that can be avoided by disabling steam overlay for NMS. i suppose you could give that a shot. hope you find help

[winter wolf]

@tacit hamlet ^

[vital estuary]

Alt+tabbing out of the game was causing it too, but i have a different video card and was able to change a setting that helped.

[tacit hamlet]

hmm hopefully, I will try

Thank you 🙂

[soft wolf]

Do you have to interact with the owners to know it’s exotic or nah?

[stuck berry]

No, you can just aim your analysis visor at it

or just know, since each ship type follows a clear style and has a limited amount of variation

Good examples of what exotic ships look like can be found here #nms-legacy-ships message

Their landing sound is amplified compared to other starships, so you really can't miss them

[soft wolf]

Oh Alr thanks I’ll look for them now lol

[soft python]

How can I sell on of my multitools or get rid of it?

[stuck berry]

By interacting with the Multi-Tool Decomissioning Station aboard the Space Anomaly while the unwanted Multi-Tool is equipped

[soft python]

Thanks

[main stone]

Does the game eventually lose track of your "visited" worlds in the galaxy map?

[stuck berry]

Yes, it replaces the oldest ones with the newest ones eventually

I believe it may protect some in bases, or at least ones that you revisit

[random jewel]

got to the part of the artemis storyline and it says "click on the expanding base side quest" but theres nothing? i think i already did that quest on a different base then the one that it is forcing me into?

[stuck berry]

Are you sure you've checked every page of your secondary missions?

Also, it requires you to progress Scientific Reseach very slightly I believe

[main stone]

I went back to my starter bubble and all the systems were not showing as "visited" despite me being the discoverer of them

[stuck berry]

(by just hiring and speaking to the scientist)

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is normal when many many hours have been spent discovering other things since then

[random jewel]

my missions

[stuck berry]

Go to one of your bases, build the Construction Terminal and interact with it

[random jewel]

says i need a skilled overseer

[stuck berry]

Now do you have the mission "Expanding the Base" in your log?

[random jewel]

nope

[stuck berry]

The interaction saying this means that you do not have a hired overseer, meaning you have never done this mission before

[random jewel]

i mightve done it for another base or smth

or a settlement

[stuck berry]

And you interacted with it while Ghosts in the Machine is tracked?

[random jewel]

yea

[stuck berry]

Couldn't have, the quest's progress is shared universe,wide

along with base NPC hire status

[random jewel]

ima try restarting my game

yeah still nothing

[random jewel]

should i try to recruit an overseer and see if that starts it?

[stuck berry]

The mission is required to recruit an overseer

[random jewel]

huh

yeah idk its not popping up for me

should i try disabling my settlement quests?

[stuck berry]

I don't think that is related at all

but also I don't know why this is the case

you should have been given the mission upon interacting with the construction terminal at least

if not been given it immediately

[random jewel]

ima try on another base

[stuck berry]

when you have Ghosts in the Machine tracked, what does it say in the lower right?

[random jewel]

i didnt use the base that was in the original system

[stuck berry]

This shouldn't be a factor

I'd advise reporting it as a bug, and possibly posting in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/964865106334875698 to see if a workaround can be found

[real turret]

in the corvette modules placing, it's telling me I have to press l-shift instead of the usual e to flip horizontally. pressing l-shift or e doesn't work, and there's no way to flip it now. I'm using beyond base building, and I looked in controls, and I only see the flip part, nothing about horizontally or vertically(but it says r)

[stuck berry]

which part are you trying to flip?

[real turret]

didn't flip for speedbird nacelle and vesper aerofoil i'll see if the others work

nope, didn't work for any of them

[stuck berry]

That's very strange, it works fine for me

are you placing these in the corvette editor?

[real turret]

yeah

just normal corvette editing

[stuck berry]

then idk. possibly try disabling all mods, then try again

[real turret]

hmm the thing is idk if that'd break my corvette, since I have some salvaged doors in the corvette that were made using the beyond base building mod

you think it'd be ok or nah? technically it's possible to get those in vanilla glitches, but like idk

[stuck berry]

It would not

[stuck berry]

It would be as it is currently

If there was a possibility of this not being the case, backups exist

[real turret]

aight ima go remove it and report back

bru

[real turret]

i lwkey 100% thought that'd work but sadly it didn't

im getting the same issue

only other thing I can think of is I remember i unbound the cycle building part key

[stuck berry]

Possibly reset your custom binds

[real turret]

oh ok that did the trick

it was 99% the unbounding cycle build part

[stuck berry]

you can back them up by copying No Man's Sky/Binaries/SETTINGS/GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML (do not delete this)

[real turret]

oh yeah

i remember now, beacuse the cycle building* part is also e

thanks for the help btw

How do i get my animal companion to scan stuff for me

[unreal plover]

Looking back on some pictures in #legacy-screenshots quickly shows that the ‘older terrain’ used to have more depth and felt more unique. I took a large break from the game (2020-2026) meaning i missed quite a few updates and didn’t follow the game as it changed over time.

I’m just curious when they changed the terrain and why?

Haven’t heard much of this until seeing it discussed in #legacy-screenshots briefly. Which i highly agree with.

[summer lantern]

Where can i find envoys for other guilds? I can only seem to find merchant envoys

[stuck berry]

Terrain shapes in most planets are identical to how they were in 2018's NEXT update, which was the last "universal reset". In 2020's Origins update, some extra planets were added to existing systems that have new terrain shapes like huge mountains etc. In 2025's Worlds Part II update, purple systems were added which their planets can have both NEXT, Origins and entirely new terrain shapes that are also similarly mountainous but also have flat areas between them and are generally more varied.

The legacy channel is targeted towards versions before the NEXT update, which are versions that have also been preserved by a small community to be playable on PC

Which is back when terrain and basically everything was entirely different

[soft python]

Is there a way to close this gap?

[stuck berry]

Build walls below that

[unreal plover]

Wow! Very cool to see a breakdown of all the changes over the years. And that also explains why some of that legacy terrain looks so foreign, as i started playing in 2019 which like you stated would be after the fact.

Grouch coming in clutch with the response as usual

Thank you 👍

[summer lantern]

Bump. Are there always just merchant envoys in space stations?

[blazing tusk]

There will only be one type of guild per region. Try warping father away

[stuck berry]

Oh sorry, see this post #nms-questions message

[summer lantern]

Ah, ok, thanks

so i pressume all yulkis quadrant systems are merchant guild?

[verbal laurel]

Yes: that is how it works.

[summer lantern]

makes sense. Thanks

[summer lantern]

Uhhh, how do i get to my corvette from my freighter?

found it

[old skiff]

How did you manage it by the way? Did you beam up or call it?

[summer lantern]

beam up. The beam up platform was all the way in the back of the hangar

[old skiff]

Noice, glad you got it though.

[lean crow]

Yes reset Xbox cashe works for this.
1.You need to unplug the power cord from your Xbox (it is fine to leave HDMI and Ethernet plugged in).

2.hold down Xbox ON button for 10 seconds.

3.let it sit for 1 minute before plugging it back in, turning it on and loading the game.

Hope this helps others with the same problem I was stuck for 3 hrs trying to figure it out🥲.

[urban crypt]

in summary there are no truely rare items in this game. you can sell basically everything you get for cash, especially in the early game. There are a few exceptions but by the time you get to them you will know.
but everything else, the worst that will happen is hording the item will save you 5m of farming.
feel free to sell everything you dont yet have an identified need for. start keeping things when you already know why you need them. this game does not require forward planning

[tiny vortex]

no way to get that pod right?

[tiny vortex]

yeah i gave up on it

what about this ??? anything to do with it?

[unreal plover]

a good rule of thumb i did early on before i got more familiar with the items are just look to see it’s listed “uses”

if it’s used in crafting or upgrading i saved it

otherwise it was sold for units

then again most crafting stuff could prob be sold as well so i’d argue mainly just the upgrading listed uses matter

[urban crypt]

even if something is useful for crafting, if i am starting a new character or an expedition even, i only keep carbon, sodium oxygen and Fe to start out - everything else is destroyed or sold for units until my inventory grows a bit.

i wish i could stick to that in the endgame.
those characters have banks that are full of trash I dont ever use. "just in case".

[past widget]

So i got a suspicious hyperdrive module and im wondering if its worth installing, it says "banned hyperdrive upgrade" and idk what that means

[soft python]

do all system have special ships? even the one you start with?

[river canyon]

Install it and see if it's better than the upgrade modules you have, there is no penalty for using it

[river canyon]

Special ships? I'm not following, do you mean exotics?

[soft python]

ah yes those. I've sold a ton of salvaged data in order to afford one but couldn't see any yet 😄

[river canyon]

Every inhabited system has an exotic model that can spawn, the chances are 1 in 301 for it to spawn

[soft python]

Is there a way to sell starships?

I came across this abandoned one and its really cool and all but i do NOT have any of the resources to repair it other then the launch thruster and pulse engine

[river canyon]

You can salvage them at space stations for scrap parts that you sell for the value of the ship.

Back of the station, needs to be your active ship

[past widget]

So i claim scrap?

1.7m units im rich

What does it mean i need 2 inventory slots

My inventory isnt full

[river canyon]

They can give a variety of parts when salvaged, so you may not have enough room

[hazy berry]

ship scrapping usually gives you like 3.-5 upgrade modules too

• the other scrap parts you get

so you need alot of slots

There we go

[alpine ember]

Thanks a lot

[novel bone]

In short I plugged the stats in a calculator like https://nms.gander.tools/ to see what their base stats are (which is normally between 0 and 12)

What the wiki does NOT tell you is that the best frigate type imo is organic.
Because they ALWAYS start with 0 expedition, even if S class, meaning they can have a LOT higher base stats

Organic frigates can be reconfigured with foods, but even if support they use the normal 8-12 fuel
So having good support frigates is still usefull imo

But tbh this is only if you minmax for minmaxing sake. With good fleet upgrade modules (easy to farm if one does some piracy shooting freighters) any frigates will do once they leveled up a bit, independent of base stats

[proper lodge]

so i shouldn't buy this frigate even if it's s class?

[novel bone]

Every frigate will level up to S class, if you sent it on enough expeditions

[swift sand]

personally i wouldnt primarily because of its high fuel usage

[proper lodge]

8 is high?

[swift sand]

non supports can go as low as 4 per 250LY - wrong: this is just a bug caused by fleet coord/fleet fuel efficiency modules: a frigate displaying 4 fuel is actually 8 fuel. confirmed by save editor.

[novel bone]

If you need a good combat frigate right now, sure get it

[novel bone]

No

[swift sand]

yes

[novel bone]

Not their base fuel usage

[swift sand]

yes

i know this, 100%

[novel bone]

You have upgrades or good freighter stats

[swift sand]

you just havent ever found one at 4

[novel bone]

Just because it says 4, does not mean it is actually 4. Just that with your fleet bonis it is reduced to 4

[swift sand]

what

oh i see what you mean

[novel bone]

If you check your frigates with a save editor you will see that their fuel usage (for non support ships) will be between 8 and 12

[swift sand]

yes yes

but

let me tell you this

go buy a c-class freighter, set its fleet coord bonus to min with a save editor, then go frigate hunting

have at it for a while

then come back to me and tell me if you didnt find supports with 2, and non supports with 4 - you wont ever see frigates with 1 or 3 - which is what you're talking about

fleet coord and fuel eff modules skewing hirable frigate stats

i'm well aware of this

if you're in that position of such high buffs, whenever you see a frigate with 1 or 3 - that's actually 2 or 4

[proper lodge]

sorry for interrupting but yes or no to buying this frigate?

[swift sand]

i've said my personal opinion: too high fuel usage, but i agree that if you need high combat score to jump start that score on your fleets, sure, go ahead. this one hasn't even reached 55 expeditions, so means that it will still be able to increase stat numbers (but no more traits, as it's at 5 already)

[novel bone]

IF you need a solid combat frigate right now or dont mind spending more to get a high stat frigate now (instead of leveling it up slowly) and dont care about the stats for the stats sake, go for it.

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

oh and another question

i claimed units from captain of pirate dreadnought so if i destroy it will i get bounty?

[swift sand]

no further reward will come from it, you already got your reward

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

first when you made it surrender, then when you demanded tribute

Support frigates do go down to 2, that is correct. Non support frigates should not (without any bonus) go below 8 based on every information I could find.
Idk what the game does there then, but I strongly suspect that if one check them in the save editor, they will be between 8 and 12 base fuel usage.

In the end the total fuel value does not really matter anyway. Nearly every frigate will be ok with S class modules to reduce cost in supercharged freighter slots.
In my freighter 8 base fuel goes down to 1, and everything else (at least to 11 fuel usage) goes down to 2. And I think (not sure though) that the game does not calculate fractions with fuel. So it is either 1 or 2, and it makes no difference if that 2 fuel usage is a base 9 or a base 11
But I am that kind of person that cares for the stats just for the stats sake, not because it makes sense. ^^

[proper parcel]

oh man i wish i knew that the sentinel fighter could hover. wouldve fixxed up one erlier.

[novel bone]

Corvetts can also hover 😉

[proper parcel]

right. but for a fighterr

[swift sand]

sentinel ships can also hover

[proper parcel]

yep that s what i was noticing and loving

[swift sand]

and to be clear, there's no sentinel ship subtypes - they're all sentinels, even if they look like a space truck

[proper parcel]

i assumed they were all jjust fighters

i quite like the look of this one too

sorry this not questions. just realized

im not crazy right? the fighters are significantly faster?

[novel bone]

Not 100% sure if speed is affected by stats.
They turn faster than e.g. haulers for sure

[proper parcel]

i havent really used any of the otherr types. i didnt state it but meant vs the corvettes

[novel bone]

Their base stat for maneuverability is higher yes, but corvetts get more upgrades, as the engines give a bonus to maneuverability.

[formal estuary]

I've encountered some huge ships in space that are broken apart, almost as if they're begging to be explored.

I exit my corvette and float to the ships but I can never seem to enter them. Is there something I should be doing here?

[swift sand]

see image: not all have floating pods either - these cannot be boarded

[formal estuary]

For something that interrupts my pulse drive, this looks pretty worthless

[swift sand]

often, by the icon of the space encounter notification, you can tell if it's going to be one of these, and just stay in pulse to ignore

[novel bone]

I vaguely remember a reddit post about some using the same model as the crashed freighters, so sometimes there are cargo-pods to loot. Idk if that is correct, but I would not care about that anyway.

Basically if the freighter is broken in half, I just leave ^^

[swift sand]

@formal estuary if you want to find the boardable ones, you want to buy coordinates from scrap dealer npc in space stations

[proper lodge]

why when i press E instead of landing my ship slowing down?

[proper parcel]

sorry i kkep just chatting here by accident

[swift sand]

probably game not being fast enough to generate collision on the ground; when this happens i just try to turn around 180º to where i came from, then nose down and land

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[unreal plover]

What’s the max amount of LY a freighter can travel in on jump?

Like upgraded or whatever

[blazing tusk]

I've heard around 6k being near the limit

[unreal plover]

Wow that’s double what i assumed lol

i thought it was around 3k

[blazing tusk]

Explorer ships can get around 3k

[unreal plover]

Also did not know that

Make sense tho

[blazing tusk]

Upgraded freighters are pretty good

[unreal plover]

Agreed that is pretty insane jump range

roughly only 120 jumps to get to center from my location

ez

[blazing tusk]

I think freighter was 5.5k last I checked. When I used the supercharged slots for warp upgrades

Mine*

[swift sand]

thanks for this. i went and confirmed it, you're right, and i stand corrected: non-supports will not have less than 8 per 250LY. otoh, it's almost incredible that a large coordination buff can make a frigate display half of its actual fuel usage, totally misleading the player.

[swift sand]

this is basically it

[unreal plover]

thx for the info

[unreal plover]

that’s wild lol

now i know i should prob save all of the ones i get so i can throw em on my freighter

nice shape too looks cool

[swift sand]

yeah, but totally not needed ime, rarely you'll ever make jumps that far in your daily operations

[unreal plover]

well all of this was stemmed from my question which was in regards to getting to the center which i didn’t mention i guess lol

but i agree

looking forward to making that trip

[severe crown]

This is one of those advice questions that may have 100 different "best" answers and end up confusing me more, but...
I have reached the point with my starter ship where I definitely need an upgrade and more room for tech.

• Spend on upgrading the ship directly? (potential waste of what resources I have that could go to a better ship)
• Look to buy a new one? (if I want to go straight to S, I'm only about halfway there in currency)
• Work on a corvette?
• Other?

[swift sand]

if this is about a mission titled the purge, see <#nms-commands message>

[unreal plover]

nah ik that mission, i just wanted to do some research early on about what i need to make the trip to the center as fast as i can when i decide i’m ready

[swift sand]

do you love how the starter ship i.e. radiant pillar bc1 looks like? because you could make that .. a really nice ship.

[swift sand]

fastest way would simply be to portal

[unreal plover]

and where’s the fun in that

i don’t even use my base teleporters lol

(unless needed)

[severe crown]

I certainly don't hate it. Profile-wise, it is one of the better I've tried.
Feels like it will be a long journey from here to there, but could be worth it.

[stoic gazelle]

whats the fastest a companion can be?

[swift sand]

personally, i love this ship. i always feel a connection to it, to the point that i always keep it and eventually at least, will upgrade it "all the way". that said, plenty of other ships out there that you might like. could also start building a corvette sure. remember that after we own a freighter we can archive up to 18 ships, but not archive corvettes. we can have up to 12 active ships.

[swift sand]

egg-sequenced max size beetles are incredibly fast, but unfortunately they are so big that most of the time you wont even see where you're going, just the hud marker you're focusing to get to lol. that said, yeah, devs need to adjust camera positions for those scenarios.

[stoic gazelle]

ahhh

[swift sand]

but they are probably the fastest moving pets in the game, when max sized

[stoic gazelle]

what are these?

[swift sand]

starship trails on the outside, polo and artemis figurines in the middle

[stoic gazelle]

ahh

everyone, what time do you have playing your main saves?

[swift sand]

lots of hours 🙂

[severe crown]

I know it isn't a thing in this game, but I think I'd feel better about keeping the first ship and having more of a connection to it if I could give it a new paint job. 😁

[swift sand]

here's what i did 😉 - rasas are awesome

[severe crown]

wait wait wait
wait
you CAN recolor ships?!

[swift sand]

we can build fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail and color customize them when we do. class of the reactor used ofc sets (starting, if not s- already) class of the ship

[stoic gazelle]

what do these do? Or is it just a thing showing youve done the story

[severe crown]

Thanks. I think by the time I catch up on all this game has, it will be closer to the 20th anniversary. 😆
(Also, now I have another thing on my list of how to get a new ship. 🤦)

[stoic gazelle]

whats the advantages of starships over corvettes?

[swift sand]

remembrance allows access to lore terminals, adds 1 char health point. star seed does not have a function, it is rewarded when completing atlas path in one of the ways, yes

[stoic gazelle]

ah ok

[swift sand]

well, in short, already built, corvettes we got to build them, find the parts for them etc

other than that, corvettes actually have a few over the other ship types, especially ofc being able to build a small base inside them

[stoic gazelle]

also is there any way to "finish" this quest

[proper parcel]

have been warping between 2 systems with level 3 conflict that are always spawning pirate freighter battles in search of an S teir one. what are the difference in chances vs trying to find 2 systems that are pirate ruled?

[tulip dust]

@stoic gazelle
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Can I clear New Beginnings/Space Anomaly/Atlas Eternal?

In short, no.

• New Beginnings signals completion of the main storyline.
  -# Select it when you don't want to see any mission related tooltips lower right of the screen.
• Atlas Eternal is an endless mission that signals completion of the Atlas Path.
  -# Don't have to keep doing it if you don't want to, not unless you want to max out Atlas words.
• The Space Anomaly doesn't truly have an objective after the interactions with the main storyline missions.
  -# Core warping can make it update from one objective to another, but it will just return to the same as it was after that's done.

[stoic gazelle]

ah i see

[swift sand]

eco tier influences class drop chances

[tacit smelt]

how does power work, im trying to extend my power to another area where an oxygen hotspot is,around 300 u away, but the cable turn red and wont power it, is it bc theyre 2 different bases? do i need to find another way to power the hotspots?

[proper parcel]

emm thats pretty significant. thanks

[swift sand]

but the cable turn red and wont power it, is it bc theyre 2 different bases?
yes, cannot transfer power or resources between diff bases

do i need to find another way to power the hotspots?
see attached image; how to expand build bubble, see <#nms-commands message>

[sudden apex]

60 hours

[tiny vortex]

75

[tacit smelt]

wait, do i have to delete my 2nd base that i wanted my first base to expand to in order for power to get there?

if i do that, wont everything i built be deleted?

[swift sand]

yep, you can only use 1 base comp for the project. and you'd first delete all parts of 2nd base manually, to get 100% build mats back

[tacit smelt]

ok

[stoic gazelle]

anyone know how this game can store trillions of planets?

[swift sand]

it doesnt. since game is procedurally generated off seed values, planets are really only "rendered" when we visit them

and are rendered while we're there ofc, and are moving across the planets etc

being procedurally generated also means that the game's algo can use assets available in game files in different ways, apply different colors etc etc, which is how it is able to keep a low install size

[simple zodiac]

Which is something nice about NMS

The smaller file size

Never really uninstall it lol because its 20 gigs

[stoic gazelle]

yeah one of the reasons i got into playing no mans sky recently is I gave up with ark survival ascended because it was taking up 400gb on my drive....

[nimble wraith]

Question regarding corvettes - Lets say I have corvette A and it has a refiner. I put something in that refiner that says it will take 30 minutes. I then switch ships to corvette B and put something in its refiner. Do both continue to refine at the same time or does the non-active ship get paused?

[analog scroll]

The more likely outcome is the item(s) in the refiner disappear forever

[nimble wraith]

Oh no! I am going to test now, that would suck

[analog scroll]

If you want to go out and about and keep refining items, use the personal refiner in your suit

[nimble wraith]

It actually kept refining in the non-active corvette

[analog scroll]

You got lucky

[tacit smelt]

how do i know if a galaxy is a conflict zone? cuz i wanna fight pirates

[strange wraith]

i think it show when you point at it

[analog scroll]

See !faq-outlawsystems in #nms-commands

You need at least an economy scanner to find them

[tacit smelt]

i have one

[empty kestrel]

I'm trying to get to a specific system using glyphs. I am struggling to find the monolith to input the glyphs. Any tips?

[analog scroll]

You don't input glyphs into the monolith, but use an ancient structures planetary chart (or several if the first one does not mark a monolith), or an updated minotaur scanner

[tacit smelt]

what does it mean when it says the conflict is "perilous: with a sword with a number 3 by it

[analog scroll]

T3 conflict

[empty kestrel]

So I need those chart things right?

The Alien Cartographic Data one?

[proper lodge]

what Y does and what if i press wipe the system on the start?

[analog scroll]

You're early in the Atlas Path

[empty kestrel]

So I've been getting those, but what do I do at the thing it brings me to? I used it, and it just gave me buried treasure or something multiple times

[analog scroll]

You have to use them until it marks a monolith. Don't clear any of the HUD indicators until then.

[empty kestrel]

Oh ok

[frigid wadi]

So, to use those efficiently, keep opening them until it gives you a monolith. Do not visit any already marked items as the game can only have one of each marked at any time

[empty kestrel]

Got it. I just got one. Thanks!

[proper lodge]

yeah i know but what it does

[analog scroll]

Advances the Path

[frigid wadi]

If needs be, google the riddle for the monolith to give the correct answer. Get it correct, and it will give you a dictionary word or something. Then, click on the monolith a second time, and it will grant you portal location

[analog scroll]

The best thing is to take your ship to the monolith. Getting out creates/updates your restore point. If you get the "riddle" wrong and can't interact again, reload the restore point and pick a different answer

[empty kestrel]

Alright, I'm at the portal. I want to get to this galaxy. Do I just charge the glyphs or what do I do?

[main stone]

How is it that i have discovered more minerals and flora than exist on this planet?

[analog scroll]

The Exploration Guide isn't a real mission, and it doesn't tell you how many exist, just how many you need to find to complete its objective for that planet

[tiny vortex]

you didnt clean your shoes when getting on your space ship didnt you?

[analog scroll]

You cannot use a portal to travel between galaxies. You can, however, get to Eissentam using at least 1 of the featured bases in the Anomaly

[frigid wadi]

Go tothe anomaly first, and use a featured base on its portal to get to Eissentam. THEN, find a portal again, and tap in the address

Portals only travel within a galaxy between systems

Do not confuse systems with galaxies

there are 255 galaxies, and 8 billion odd systems per galaxy

[analog scroll]

More than that.

Euclid alone has something like 2 trillion star systems

[hot sand]

Is it just me or are the automatic security drone things really stupidly buggy on the abandoned frigates? They’re always flying off and shooting from inside the ceiling

[tiny vortex]

never found a derelict frigate i could board yet

but that sounds like typical sentinel behaviour to me lol

[analog scroll]

You need an emergency signal scanner to find one. First one in any 24 hour period is 5m units from the scrap dealer

[hot sand]

They’re a specific thing you can buy from the scrap dealer at stations to track them

Or free once a week from the anomaly

[analog scroll]

Only after you've completed one

[hot sand]

It’s not the sentinels they are different

[tiny vortex]

sry to sidetrack...but speeaking of different

[strange wraith]

...and another on in my meme gallary

[tacit smelt]

where do i get radiant shards and a harmonic brain?

[analog scroll]

Dissonant planets

[tacit smelt]

im on one rn, i want to repair this sentinal starship, i need those 2

[analog scroll]

If the harmonic brain is for a repair, use a repair kit

[tacit smelt]

i can do that?

[analog scroll]

If you're claiming the ship for the first time, follow the salvage site mission

[tacit smelt]

first time

[analog scroll]

Radiant shards are everywhere, and the mission shows how to turn the hyaline brain into the harmonic brain

[tacit smelt]

it doesnt show

ijust defeated a sentinal freighter for fun

and now im here

[analog scroll]

The pink crystals on the ground. The smaller ones are atlantideum, the larger ones are radiant shards

[tacit smelt]

ye i got those, idk how to get harmonic tho

[strange wraith]

you need to find a echo locader i think

[analog scroll]

Follow the salvage site mission. You need 3 radiant shards and an inverted mirrior to be able to use the hyaline brain in your inventory

[tacit smelt]

i have 3 shards and 1 inverted

[analog scroll]

Then the brain should be glowing in your inventory. Use it, like the mission tooltip will be telling you to do

If it's not, you didn't take everything out of the ship, or you have more than 1 salvage site mission

[tacit smelt]

thanks, i didnt know i had to take things out the ship

[empty kestrel]

I'm at the portal in the galaxy

[analog scroll]

Charge them

All of them

Then you can dial your address

[empty kestrel]

Ohhh okay

Thanks

does giving gifts to npcs just give you standing of does it give you anything else?

Not that I'm aware of

[safe glade]

thanks

[proper lodge]

i made soul ark but game tells me to assemble components for it

what do i do?

[analog scroll]

Do that

[lean oriole]

99% of the bugs are just rendering bugs, so yeah it's a bug

[safe glade]

oh btw, is there some tech for freighter to have a landing pad to scrape ships on the freighter?

[analog scroll]

No

You can only scrap ships in space stations

[proper lodge]

is raider frigate counts as combat?

[safe glade]

it's a very persistent bug, I rarely see any icons except the ships I pick up in that session, sometimes I reload several times but the icons don't appear anyways, same for multitools, makes it very awkward when scraping stuff

I've reported it anyways

[lean oriole]

console or pc?

i've notice us console guys deals with alot of rendering issues.

[safe glade]

iirc the landing pad in one of my settlements can scrape too, so I thought maybe there's something for freighter as well

[safe glade]

mac

[analog scroll]

No, it cannot

[lean oriole]

yesterday, i landed in my settlement and went into a building... the furniture in the building wasnt loaded yet but when it did load, I ended up stuck in between the settlement pc and wall lol.

had to reload... again

[raven matrix]

When you manually upgrade a multi tool from C rank to S rank, do the super charges always appear in the same spot or are they random if using the same multi tool.

[swift sand]

after taking it from the cabinet, will be seeded per tool, so no matter how many times you reload and reupgrade/readd more slots, it will always land on the same grid positions

[safe glade]

yes it can

[swift sand]

cabinet printed SC slots are also fixed per cabinet, no point in reloading

[minor sail]

What's the quickest way to get a ton of nanites

[swift sand]

only after upgraded to b-class iirc cc @analog scroll

s-class adds fabricator

[hexed kindle]

you can mass buy suspicious tech and weapon boxes from outlaw stations to open, then sell the mods for nanites

[safe glade]

yep I can fabricate too

[lean oriole]

did not know this, thank you!

where do you sell them though?

[raven matrix]

If I pull it from the cabinet as a C rank.
If I reload, will it always be C rank, or does it have a chance to be a S rank?

[swift sand]

any upgrade module shop npc

[swift sand]

class is also fixed per cabinet

[hexed kindle]

any mod vendor will buy them back, could sell them at the same station for that matter

[lean oriole]

sweet, thats why I love this channel, learn something new every day

[hexed kindle]

alternatively you can search for runaway mould deposits, though this method will be limited by how many refiners you can run at a time+if you can find a decent spot

creating and loading a restore point after mining all the mould respawns it

[proper parcel]

are there exotic sentiel ships?

thx

[swift sand]

these are the existing ship types in the game - corvettes not included in it though

so exotic is exotic, sentinel is sentinel, fighter is fighter, etc - regardless of how they look like

1. Look for a Gas Giant system - they're tagged as such in the Galaxy Map.
2. Land on the Gas Giant planet: obtain 1 Crystallised Helium and 1 Activated Quartzite (e.g. from mineral deposits), refine Crystalized Helium+Activated Quartzite to get Lithium.
3. Open Catalog & Guide > Materials & Items, Raw Materials - Exotic;
4. Cursor over Lithium, press Locate key/button.
5. Follow new mission objective and to the marked system in the galaxy map.
