[stuck berry]

Though since corvettes share most of their features with haulers, they would probably also get this

unless some executive balancing decision was made

[safe glade]

corvettes are nice but ships are better for some things, like, if you do trade routes corvette is pita, landing on trading post makes it way easier, and the less extra walking to get into the ship is also way faster. however, between the ship themselves, it would be nice if they had a bit more significant benefits between the types, otherwise a fighter makes a better ship than hauler for 99% of applications...

[verbal laurel]

For late-game I agree with you, but as a Survival-Permadeath player: in the early game the differences are huge. I strongly prefer getting an Explorer asap in a new save file because of the reduced Launch cost and long warp jumps with zero upgrades.

I don't use Corvettes at all.

[cold crest]

Trying to do the ghost in the machine but keeps saying the target is very distant I also did the reset to

[stuck berry]

After you selected to reset it, does it still say that it is distant?

[cold crest]

Yes it does

[stuck berry]

Are you in a multiplayer group right now?

[cold crest]

Yes

[stuck berry]

That may be the issue #nms-questions message

[cold crest]

Is it a solo thing

[stuck berry]

Possibly try backing out to the main menu, loading back in and trying to do the mission again

[stuck berry]

No, but many missions can just temporarily bug out due to multiplayer #nms-questions message

[safe glade]

my recent sentinel is by far the most efficient in launch costs, I had explorer, exotic, fighter, but the sentinel barely use any launch, I've never actually fueled it, it's very efficient machine

[stuck berry]

Yes, sentinel ships also have halved launch costs, just like explorers

their Crimson Core also gives +500LY more than the standard hyperdrive, but their hyperdrive bonus is very low which makes upgrades less effective

[verbal laurel]

Oh I hardly ever use Sentinel ships because I don't like the aesthetics

[safe glade]

I did get higher values with exotic but 1.7k is more than enough for me, and I didn't actually try shuffling modules, I bet I can squeeze extra 100-200 from it with the right modules and maybe even priotizing the hyperdrive to use the dual sc slots I have and get extra 300-400 easy, right now they are occupied by the pulse engine to give the edge to manoeuvrability

[safe glade]

yeah I can see that, but in terms of efficiency, almost zero costs, these are insane value

[river canyon]

What's wrong with knowledge stones? Or chatting up aliens on stations?

[unborn brook]

Found a paradise planet with some industrial waste ... scanned a few times and didn't find a processing plant ... am I not being persistent enough, or do some industrial waste planets not have processing plants?

[quick rivet]

“The egg is making a low-frequency sound. Wait for it.” Something like that I think

[swift sand]

goto space, pulse until hailed

[quick rivet]

I Did that for almost 30 minutes…

[swift sand]

goto an uncharted system aka no race icon on galaxy map, save+reload, try again - make sure you dont have any duped eggs in diff activation states

[swift sand]

does planet have salvageable scrap on the list? if it doesn't probably that it doesnt have any plants

[quick rivet]

Okay, I’ll note that. I’ll do it when I get home. Thank you

[swift sand]

np, anything else just ask

[unborn brook]

Yep, no salavagable scrap

[livid kayak]

So Atlantid MT has the best mining stats, correct?

[minor sail]

What is the use of fishing

[livid kayak]

Not much. You get some nanites, food or additional cosmetics for your character, if you reach specific, fishing milestones

[swift sand]

right

[swift sand]

fishing helmets and bobs

[livid kayak]

but the best aspect of fishing is relaxation 🙂

[proper lodge]

why after changing tabs(for example i'm watching something with picture in picture and open google to change episodes) gmy fps drops to like 15-20

even tho normally i have around 80 fps

[swift sand]

i've seen this reported by some players, opening videos on the side tanking performance

maybe try to run the game with diff window modes, e.g. borderless

[proper lodge]

it's already without borders and also nothing changes when i open pip but the second i'm trying to change episode fps just drops

for no reason at all

[swift sand]

well, there's gotta be a reason for it, somewhere

sorry, dont have any further ideas atm

i'd suggest submitting a bug report just in case, but first make sure that you can repro when using latest gpu drivers (and i'd also suggest to try and repro the issue when running windows under a clean boot to rule out 3rd party apps)

[near scarab]

What do u guys think about my stuff ?

[swift sand]

• translators usefulness will drop as you learn more words, i'd drop artemis translator as soon as i'm done with the quest
• try to put things of the same type in adjacent slots e.g those 3 sentinel modules should be in adjacent slots
• i'd probably drop one of the underwater modules, and get a cold prot module in there for example, or a toxic one

[near scarab]

I am still unable to understand all words, that's why I stacked up on these translators.
I will do that.
Yes, I still miss those, but is it correct that I have two of each one ?

[swift sand]

is it correct that I have two of each one ?
you mean, the underwater hazard protection modules? (or..)

the c-class techs are buffing your core hazard protection tech, not the hazard protection modules (the rechargeable ones).
having more than 1 of each type of hazard protection module just extends the protection duration; once one depletes, the other will start draining basically.
early on, with tech slot pressure, i'd only rock 1 of each (rechargeable) hazard prot module type

[near scarab]

Not the water thingy no, for example the fire ones, I have one that shows 100% and next to it is an upgrade C-class, that's correct what I did there right? protection module and next to it its upgrade? and is one upgrade enough ?

[tropic ginkgo]

the one with % is basically an extra battery for that type of hazard prot

[swift sand]

the c-class techs are buffing your core hazard protection tech, not the hazard protection modules (the rechargeable ones).

that's correct what I did there right? protection module and next to it its upgrade?
yes, that's ok

and is one upgrade enough

early on, with tech slot pressure, i'd only rock 1 of each (rechargeable) hazard prot module type
you'll just have to recharge more often

[near scarab]

Got it, thank you sir

[swift sand]

anytime 🙂

[proper parcel]

any idea why my space station list isnt rotating anymore. have been just going to last in the list checking for what i need there and then repeating. previously the system i went to last would move to the top of the list so i could once again click the last listed and cycle thru all of them. playing this morning the most recent space station is still at the end of the list. whats happening here?

[near scarab]

I always thought the new space station that you visit will be added to space stations list at the bottom

did u guys know that if you use the smallest ball in manipulation weapon you would get more resource from deposits, but it will take more longer to drain the deposit

I saw it on tiktok yesterday, now I am trying it, its actually working lol

[swift sand]

yep, this is true 🙂

[swift sand]

not sure, iirc last visited should indeed pop at the top. let me go and double check on my game too fwiw

[tropic ginkgo]

it's silly but the game calculates the resources based on the amount of terrain edits
smaller tool size, more edits, more materials

[proper parcel]

hmm this is wierd i have a station at the top and at t he bottom of my stations list that say previous system. different systems. something screwy going on

[near scarab]

can someone please explain to me that two buy and sell percentage you see at the galaxy map on each system ?

[swift sand]

@proper parcel mine seems to be working as expected. pushing more recently visited to the top (lol funny/interesting side note: one of those stations, i couldnt even add it to favorites, i assume because it was a station in a system i had discovered 6y ago)

[swift sand]

S/B percentages apply only to trade commodity type items (the ones used for trade routes money making strategy - type !faq-units in #nms-commands for more infos). in short, when you want to buy said items, you look for any t3 eco system with a buy percentage as close to -30% as possible (cheaper, in relation to GA the galactic average). when you're looking to sell, you look for any system (of the right eco type ofc) with a sell percentage as close to 80% as possible.

[proper parcel]

restarted computer. was the same initialy but cycled thru a couple other stations and it seems to have reset it. dont know what the heck

[swift sand]

nice, was going to suggest a game restart yeah

seriously though ^

[untold cove]

Very feature rich game

[swift sand]

@proper parcel if it happens again/keeps happening, whenever you get a bit of spare time, you know what to do

[untold cove]

Me and my friend are trying to do stuff together and it's just an awful experience half the time. Multiplayer really is just slapped on

[swift sand]

yeah, i tend to describe nms as a single player sandbox game with bits of multiplayer content on top. some of it works well most of the times, some of it doesn't really work well at any time

[untold cove]

Yupp, true

[swift sand]

dont push it too hard, and it will probably do just fine

quests? ime, solo, always.

[proper parcel]

i had already restarted game. that didnt fix it. honestly i hate little more than making bug reports. i usually just assume someone else will have the issue and report it. Im a sorry sack o sheet

[swift sand]

ah gotcha, you had already restarted. okay, all good, we're not forced to open bug reports. 🙂

[proper parcel]

i think the space station rotation thing may be related to the atlas bug i mentioned regarding the atlas eternal quest not popping. it did it again and it was at another atlas location

[swift sand]

atlas eternal not popping?

[proper parcel]

yeah. i dont have it at all. i thought it was you i was talking to may have bee ngrouch

i have it on my previous playthru so im just gonna go back to that character. will be painful but may save me alot of future headaches

why i gotta be a bug magnet damnit

[swift sand]

so not atlas path nor atlas eternal? and you're on pc right?

[proper parcel]

correct

[swift sand]

well, it might be possible to get it going again using a save editor

[proper parcel]

hmm hows that work?

[swift sand]

it's complex, but in short, i'm not saying we can 100% get it going again, but we can most likely get info from it

[proper parcel]

complex doesnt work very well for me, i are dumb

[swift sand]

can just send me the save files and i'll take a look

oh ok

lemme see where

[dreamy patio]

Is it random where black hole takes me?

[analog scroll]

Those are portal glyphs

[proper lodge]

alright thanks

[analog scroll]

No, the destination star system is fixed for a given black hole

[proper lodge]

where do i input those in space anomaly

[regal pike]

not the anomaly, you have to find and power a portal on a planet

you will need a small supply of carbon, sodium, any stellar material, and di hydrogen to power it. If you don't know where one is, try to find one of the alien structures and interact with it until it gives you an option to find a portal

[proper lodge]

how do i find monolith to locate the portal?

[regal pike]

You can buy maps in a space station for alien structures, or I believe the wheeled Exocraft radars can locate alien structures

[analog scroll]

!faq-portal @proper lodge

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

• Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
• To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
  • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
• A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

[inland ermine]

Anyone able to help out?

[analog scroll]

Phase and overall rewards carry back to your main save. For the scanning one, go into discoveries and upload your discoveries

[inland ermine]

How about expedition milestone rewards, what if I've already claimed them in expedition?

[analog scroll]

Milestone rewards do not transfer, the phase rewards and the overall expedition-ending rewards are unlocked account-wide and can be redeemed at the quicksilver vendor on any other save after unlocking them

[regal pike]

You can take stuff out of expeditions, but only as many as you can fit in the slots in the expedition console

[inland ermine]

And that has how many slots?

[analog scroll]

And only if you start from your main save

8 tech slots and I think 20 cargo

[inland ermine]

Well, good enough

I was doing this expedition purely blind anyways, just for the skin unlocks and whatnot

[regal pike]

If you started a save in expedition, wouldn't anything you put in those slots be there when you get back to the anomaly in the main game?

[regal pike]

Those are universally unlocked once received

[analog scroll]

If you start it from a new save there is no main save to send items back to

[regal pike]

So when you finish the expedition you just continue the game from there?

[inland ermine]

Okay, TLDR of the situation

1. I have a main save, but it is a different one from the Expedition save
2. On main save I do not have the anomaly unlocked yet (started the game yesterday)
3. I really want to keep nanites, cash and some equipment I got from expedition on my main save.

[analog scroll]

You cannot, since you started the expedition from a new save, unless you choose to continue your expedition save as your new main save after you finish

[regal pike]

If you only just started yesterday, I would just carry on with the post expedition save

[inland ermine]

Fair nuff

[hexed kindle]

quick question, will each expedition started from my main save will still be accessible even after time has passed?

[analog scroll]

Once an expedition ends, it's over

[inland ermine]

Yep, main reason why I rushed it so much, 7 days left.

[hexed kindle]

what about the post-game screen with the stats and ability to clone stuff from the save?

[analog scroll]

Once you finish, you're done. You can't go back into an expedition

[regal pike]

Btw, you won't unlock all the skins from the expedition, but they are unlocked in the main game, so don't feel too worried

[hexed kindle]

you can't even copy the multitool/starship that you used?

[analog scroll]

You do that from your main save, with nanites

[regal pike]

This expedition has basically no use of the ship, so that won't be a concern, but you should still be able to copy the multitool

[hexed kindle]

the game will let me do so even months after the expedition ends right?

[analog scroll]

Months after it ends there will no doubt be a new expedition

[hexed kindle]

ok so i'll have to copy it before the expedition closes then

ah i see so it'll override whatever stuff and i won't be able to copy that multitool anymore once a new expedition starts then

[regal pike]

the expedtion console will clear as soon the current one ends, so....

[analog scroll]

Following the past, there will be 4 expeditions this year, and those 4 will then rerun at the end of the year

[regal pike]

personally, I think they should have AN expedtion running at all times. When one ends, if there isn't a new one to debut, run one of the reduxes. They take 6 weeks to clear, so you would only have to run 8 per year, and there are over 20. That's plenty of content to rerun.

[analog scroll]

If you're a PC player, you can rerun older expeditions at any time

[regal pike]

Not without addition tools

[hexed kindle]

ye i was just concerned whether i should take a copy of my expedition multitool before the current one closed since my current space is limited

[analog scroll]

It's a single file mod and running Steam offline. It's outlined in #nms-modding

[regal pike]

I have enough problems with this game bugging out on me, I don't want to risk adding additional headaches, especially for an issue that the devs could solve with literally no effort.

[analog scroll]

Then suggest it to them

I think I have.

Moving on to my own question for today

Is the 'one traveler grave per system' rule still a thing?

[analog scroll]

Generally. You can find more, but they don't give you anything. If you're going for glyphs, however, doing the story will be less of a headache and likely faster

And required for current end-game content

[icy wasp]

Urgh... I am having NO luck getting "Salvaged Frigate Modules". Been going through a bunch or derelitcs, since I've read that they have the best odds of having them, but I've been through a dozen now and only got one. -_-

Anyone know of a better way?

[regal pike]

I would look for crashed freighters over derelict ones

[analog scroll]

The "best" place to get them is from guild emissaries. 1 in 3 Merchant emissaries will have one for you at Exalted reputation, and 1 in 5 Explorers will have one at Master level

You just need to do enough missions/donate enough items to those respective guilds to get your reputation up

[icy wasp]

Alright, thanks!

[swift sand]

@regal pike i'm not aware of such a rule. could be that there's fewer graves on a given system or planet overall. there were even planets where people went through the process of locating 16 graves on the same planet, marking them all with bases, or sharing lat+long coordinates so that others could easily reach them after getting to the system. like tyndall said though, the main storyline is the easiest most hassle free way to unlock them, besides being one of the requirements for purple star sys access. that said, if i were to have to find graves on my own, i'd not try to find traveler npcs: i'd find the graves directly using the nexus eliminate haz flora mission type (type !faq-portalglyphs in #nms-commands for more infos)

[inland ermine]

Okay, so: the expedition is over. I have all the stuff I've had on me, so I can make this save my main with no oncoming hinderance such as stuff disappearing on me?

[swift sand]

so I can make this save my main with no oncoming hinderance such as stuff disappearing on me?
so you started an exp21 save from main menu, finished, and are now going to convert it to normal mode save, and are asking if you'll keep all that you've accumulated so far?

hi FF 🙂

[inland ermine]

Yeah, pretty much. I have never played any expeditions and wanted to start a new save anyways, so the question is, will there be any issues if I just continue playing on the expedition save

[swift sand]

nah, it will just convert to a full blown normal mode save, and let you keep playing, quests, etc

[inland ermine]

Coolio

Last question, my vehicle: is it planet-locked or will it transfer to anywhere?

[swift sand]

not locked to any planet. you could just build geobay on a diff planet to summon it there. that said, see <#nms-commands message> (better qol)

[inland ermine]

I remember geobay from long ago, I think I got everything then.

Cool

11m units and tons of resources on headstart

I will happily take that

[swift sand]

for sure 🙂 have fun, anything else just ask

[inland ermine]

Since the last time I played I think the Razorcrest expedition was just starting, I will surely be coming back here 😆

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

Select a tech slot before you purchase

[wheat cove]

When doing an exosuit expansion, just select a technology slot

[south flame]

And when I fought some spaceships i got a S rank salvage fleet unit where does that place?

[regal pike]

freighter tech slot

[south flame]

?

[regal pike]

do you have a freighter?

[south flame]

whats that?

[wheat cove]

You can recruit a freighter, which is a capital ship that you can build a base on and send frigates on missions from

[south flame]

is that like a corvette?

[analog scroll]

Not exactly

[wheat cove]

In that you can build a base, yes, but you don't build the ship itself (just add rooms to it). You can't fly it inside a system, but you can warp between systems with it.

[south flame]

thank you guys but i still have one more question

i got a sentinel exosuit fragment, what does it do?

[regal pike]

whenever you jumop into a system and end up in a pirate fight, after the fight, you can potentially buy the freighter to use, or capture the pirate one if it is there

[wheat cove]

It adds stats to your exosuit, similar to other technology mods.

[analog scroll]

It's a suit tech upgrade

Does anyone know how to fix the multiplayer in no man's sky as I tried to go to a space anomaly to find people but absolutely no one was there and I have good connection I have multiplayer on but I still can't find anyone it used to work 2 years ago and recently I got back into it and it does not work

[analog scroll]

The skull isn't there if you don't have an economy or combat scanner unless you've visited the system

[lean oriole]

how do you guys build open rooms on freighters without those pillars in every corner?

[regal pike]

Absoultely fair, I was thinking of the conflict scanner

[analog scroll]

What platform are you playing on? Not seeing people in the Anomaly means something is off, but knowing platform will help determine what

expansion rooms next to each other

[analog scroll]

If you see what they wrote, they said it was turned on

[regal pike]

depends on the specific room. Some rooms don't have them, and you can use certain room expansions to fill it out without them, but some rooms will always have the colums

[shrewd steppe]

Thanks I'll try to check this stuff does this usually occur often

[lean oriole]

thanks ill mess around with it some more.

[analog scroll]

Sometimes. Sometimes it's just that matchmaking is overloaded, but often it's something else that is blocking p2p

[shrewd steppe]

The thing is I never changed anything else after playing two years ago

It's a odd thing to occur

[analog scroll]

The other thing you can try is deleting game install folder\Binaries\SETTINGS\TKGAMESSETTINGS.MXML if it's been a long time since you've played (and you haven't switched computers)

A lot of times, though, it's something as simple as a firewall rule that needs to be updated to allow the traffic through

[south flame]

when im crafting like antimatter, cant i craft like more than once at a time, if so how?

[analog scroll]

Look at the crafting interface, I think it's A and D to change quantity crafted

[swift sand]

yeah

[regal pike]

you still have to press individually though, so if you want 50 of an item, you have to press D 50 times, you can't just press and hold

[shrewd steppe]

Would be being in creative affect it by chance

Pick the one you like most. At a given class they're functionally identical. They all have the same max tech/cargo slots per class, they all have the exact same build area. After a time in the story, you will get the opportunity to get one for free and from then on the first one you rescue and accept will be free

Hazard protection charged for 80%, +heat protection upgrade is on, and I'm still taking heat damage every ~20 sec

[swift sand]

did you build your base next to a volcano or something?

[slim dagger]

Yup, I first spawned on volcano planet and trying to do some exploring here

[swift sand]

hmm - have you tried to save+restart game completely?

[slim dagger]

Reloaded the game once, didn't help

[inland ermine]

There also a second method, but it takes time and a bit of luck

Although you get a freighter free of charge basically

[analog scroll]

Which is why I mentioned the story

#nms-questions message

[swift sand]

have you tried making a new save? e.g. creative mode save, then switch to normal difficulty if you want? see if it happens there too?

[livid kayak]

It's probably a long shot, but i guess you can also try to remove and re-install the tech modules from your exosuit. Re-arrange them a bit, etc.

[slim dagger]

Well, I've returned to my base, and it stopped. Guess I was way too close to volcano?

[swift sand]

yep

i assumed that would be it, but the way you said it it sounded like it was sticking with you even when not close to any

a lesser known issue this one

[slim dagger]

No bugs sky)

[swift sand]

almost like the volcano's caldera heat bubble is too big

some people were even using this to trap unsuspecting travelers i.e. grief

[livid kayak]

So volcanos overpower your hazard protections when closeby? Huh, i wasn't aware of that

[swift sand]

this isnt intended - i think the devs just made a mistake like added an extra 0 to the heat bubble radius of the volcano caldera

[novel bone]

There are also some weather effects that can do that. Eg wall of flame can spawn fires on the ground, which will make you feel pretty toasty

[swift sand]

yeah, but those are localized, minimal weather events

[livid kayak]

oh, i see, yeah, that makes sense

[slim dagger]

Or maybe it was a bug of my hazard protection charge, cz it stopped when I reloaded the game

[swift sand]

honestly i'm leaning more towards the volcano thing, but yeah

all good now i reckon

[slim dagger]

Makes sense

[swift sand]

@novel bone also, btw, those wild fire patches you're referring to, those can happen even without a storm (e.g. "wall of flame") going on

[south flame]

do yall think grinding for salvage data is good money method?

Nah. If you want to grind that way go for slavage scrap, and keep parts you need for your corvette and sell the cosmetic ones when you need units

[safe glade]

finally found a paradise planet that's actual paradise, no storms, no hazards, sunshine and blue water, started to look for place to build a base but the goddamn biting flowers are still there. is hazardous flora unavoidable? is it on every planet?

dammit. I thought paradise is no hazard at all. including biting plants.

[analog scroll]

They're easy enough to avoid

[livid kayak]

those biting plants are only absnet on planets with no flora at all. Otherwise unavoidalbe, yeah

[fervent mist]

Is there a way to get aeron blades without trading with a player?

[analog scroll]

Save editor

[south flame]

should i build corvette or buy freighter first?

[main stone]

You get a freighter for free eventually just playing the game so it's not really a trade off

Presuming you can fight some pirates and win, that is

[south flame]

ofc i can win pirates but can freighters fight?

[analog scroll]

Not for you, no

[limber copper]

i'm new to the game and having a blast. but i seem to run out of inventory space a lot. is there a way to create storage other than upgrading the exosuit or ship?

[analog scroll]

There are a total of 10 50 slot storage units that you can unlock. 1 in the mission Base Computer Archives, the other 9 in the mission Expanding the Base

[limber copper]

thanks. i hope i unlock them soon. i've been either consuming items or selling then to open up inventory space.

[upper thunder]

what is that thing in the server pic? is that ||ATLAS||?

[analog scroll]

Yes

[upper thunder]

ah, thanks

do you ever see it ingame?

[swift sand]

oh yeah

[upper thunder]

how far into the game though?

[swift sand]

well, not far - 2 or 3 main storyline missions in

no need to rush, it's going to be a thing for sure, no avoiding it if you're progressing quests

[onyx turtle]

does anybody know what this thing is?

like what does it do?

[unborn brook]

There is a console at one of the long ends that you can interact with, to get you some game lore. it is part of the story chain

[swift sand]

for channel record, "atlas eternal is missing from mission Log" issue is now fixed. important things to notice :

• user completed atlas path getting star seed but apparently either some kind of bug happened, and it ended up giving them mark of the denier bp as well
• ATLAS_LOOP_STAR (atlas eternal) mission progress was set to 5 in the save file
• ATLAS_LOOP_DENY (atlas eternal) mission progress was set to -1 in the save file
  to fix:
• change $(basecontext.playerstatedata.missionprogress.$(ATLAS_LOOP_STAR mission index).progress) to 1
• remove mark of the denier from knowntech

[onyx turtle]

aight thx

[proper parcel]

seems my theory about the space stations not clycling properly because of tha atlas ques t bug was correct

[swift sand]

hey, a nice side effect! 😄 gtk!

[proper parcel]

oh just seen your cooment

[swift sand]

yeah, just ftr for now

[vital estuary]

Boundary failure, on the one end of it there is a little terminal you can interact with that gives some lore bits.

how am I supposed to learn food recipes? one of the buildings in the settlement needs spicy chum but I have no record of it anywhere in the Catalogue & Guide and I can't pin it from the upgrading building menu

basic baits are unlocked when you unlock fishing rig mt tech (anomaly mt research npc)

[safe glade]

yeah I have that

but no recipe for spicy chum

[swift sand]

wait

[swift sand]

have you double checked your craft menu?

do you have stuff like bionic lure dangling orb etc?

dont worry about the catalog, just check your craft menu

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[south flame]

what ways can I farm sodium quickly

[tacit smelt]

should i start an expedition from the anomaly? or a new save?

[dusky pilot]

Any advice on finding paradise planets? Been searching yellow systems with water have had zero luck

[stuck berry]

Really just keep looking. Also, are you on survival/permadeath?

[stuck berry]

If you already have a save you're playing on, do it from the anomaly

[stuck berry]

Probably from mining it on worlds that list it as a mineral resource

[dusky pilot]

I play on standard settings

[stuck berry]

Then finding one shouldn't be difficult at all. If you weren't already, using the freighter Scanner Room allows you to scan entire star systems at once to see all of their details.

Also, know that worlds can still have no storms even if they have an amount of sentinel activity, so some lush worlds that don't qualify for the paradise name may be equally ideal if you don't mind sentinels patrolling around peacefully https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Weather#Lush

[dusky pilot]

I’ve found a couple but ignored them because they had sentinels

[stuck berry]

Then you'd definitely be looking for the name "Paradise Planet/Moon", which indicates that they both have no storms and low sentinel activity.

[south flame]

what does technology overload mean and what does it do?

[gray shoal]

Turns off all modules of that type

Max amount of modules is 3 per type + crafted ones

[south flame]

bruh

i wanna stack on scanners

[gray shoal]

If its overloaded discard/pack the weakest ones.

[south flame]

yeah

but how do i get illegal modules?

[gray shoal]

Pirate systems have some

[south flame]

where do i find them

[gray shoal]

Look for skull in star system info in galaxy map

[shrewd jolt]

You need an economy or conflict scanner

[tacit smelt]

how do i get paraffinium, im doing expedition , and there arent any on my planet'

[stuck berry]

Refine pyrite together with ferrite dust or pure ferrite in your personal refiner mk 2

[analog scroll]

Refine Pyrite + Ferrite dust/pure ferrite

[tacit smelt]

thanksss

[safe glade]

question about the starbirth mission, while I wait for the neural stem to grow (19 hours), can I leave and it will tell me where this portal is located or I should build a base and a base portal here just in case?

[stuck berry]

You can do whatever you wish while you wait, including close the game

when the time comes, it will point to a planet that is close to you

[safe glade]

ah so it won't be at the same portal?

[stuck berry]

No, it will use different structures on different worlds

[safe glade]

ok, thanks

[shell veldt]

what is this planet?

[stuck berry]

A "Green" planet. Planets like that usually have some sort of color filter and are a bit creepy, and usually have some sort of colossal mineral/flora everywhere #nms-commands message

They are only found in non-yellow systems normally

[proper parcel]

if i was to have only one other weapon on my multitool besides neutron cannon what would youz suggest?

[shell veldt]

its not a paradise its hell on earth

[stuck berry]

Yes, I never said that it was a paradise

[shell veldt]

my heat protection melted super fast and the status is infinite toxic

[stuck berry]

Also, it has activated stellar metal which indicates extreme weather/storms

[stuck berry]

yes, that is one of the weird weather names they have. That's random for those planets though, not tied to the crazy weather you're seeing

A name given by players to these planets is "Mega Exotic" but these aren't rare at all so it doesn't really fit

[shell veldt]

the other planet is "1980 cartoon" planet lmao

[brittle mesa]

Do trash heaps regenerate? I found one one minute away from a processing plant and would like to farm them.

[shell veldt]

WHAT

[proper parcel]

any of youz have opinions on the best multi tool weapon other than neutron cannon? tryin to limit it to 2 so i dont have to cycle thru for 30 seconds

[shell veldt]

they stole my freighter name

guys question is there a way to make nukes?

i wanna blow up that planet

[brittle mesa]

I like a maxxed pulse spitter

[proper parcel]

aight ill try it out

[stuck berry]

Personally I never use more than 1 multi-tool weapon

[proper parcel]

which one yuo use?

[stuck berry]

on my current one, I actually don't have a weapon equipped since then the enemy scaling is made easier, which makes exocraft combat viable

[shell veldt]

@stuck berry what about the nest planet?

[brittle mesa]

Paralysis mortar is a good addition for most

[stuck berry]

Neutron Cannon on my staff, pulse spitter on my mining one but that's currently removed for what I said above

[stuck berry]

Yeah, I use secondary weapons too, the geology cannon is fun

[proper parcel]

ok thanks

[stuck berry]

but you need to use it wisely, and possibly maximize shield strength to avoid the concequences of your mistakes

[stuck berry]

What about it? It's an infested lush world

[shell veldt]

Why is it called the nest

[stuck berry]

Go there and find out

[proper parcel]

why you carry 2 tools?

[shell veldt]

And not lush infested or something

[stuck berry]

Because one is all focues on mining bonus, and the other is all focused on damage

[stuck berry]

Flavor. The same reason every lush world doesn't just say "Lush"

It would be boring, and you would immediately understand the cogs behind the screen

[proper parcel]

oh ok . so you have more supercharged slots to work with i got it. took me a min

[stuck berry]

I just have 4, like anybody else

[proper parcel]

right i mean so you can use 4 slots for each purpose. was thinking why not just put them all on one weapon but figured out then only 4 slots total. obvious but i dumb. ok not dumb stoned too much

[shell veldt]

As you can see I like bees, so the nest is something I want to build my base in, now there are a lot of worms there is there a way for them to destroy my base if I build one?

[stuck berry]

Bases cannot be destroyed by anyone or thing that isn't the player that constructed them

if you build the base far enough away from any "Titan Worm Burrows", then you're just as safe as you are on any other lush world

[shell veldt]

Can I destroy their nest btw

[stuck berry]

No, you cannot

[shell veldt]

🙁

[stuck berry]

I'd know, I built one here

[shell veldt]

There are so many of them and they shake the world to much

[stuck berry]

Oh, the big ones? They are harmless, and just jump around when they spawn until they go away

They mainly appear when you first load onto the planet, as well as periodically afterwards until it's loaded again

periodically, they're a little rare

[shell veldt]

I heard you can tame them but idk if it’s true

[stuck berry]

False.

At least without mods on PC, but even then they are not intended to be companions and have little to no functionality in that form.

There are the "flying worms" which do have functional companion versions, but these also can't be adopted without mods and were only given as companions from an expedition reward

you could get companion eggs of them from another player though, like any other

[proper parcel]

Whats this red thingy on each of your tools? also do you really benifit much from the supercharged mining ones besides the resource amount one? now that i think about it i bet fuel usage and heat accumulation are probably more substantial on higher difficulties? that would explain it

[stuck berry]

Do you mean the Runic Lens? It's the core mining beam tech for Atlantid Multi-Tools, as well as the Atlas Scepter. Supercharging mining stuff increases mining speed, which is what I use it for to mine stuff away when I'm exploring, like getting hazardous flora out of screenshots or just mining ugly rocks. I supercharge the Optical Drill when I'm mining Curious Deposits, as that's the only time I care about what I'm mining.

The Runic Lens looks like this

[inland ermine]

Is there any way to obtain rewards from past expeditions on my current save or are they purely gone forever?

[stuck berry]

If you are not on PC, then possibly. If you are on PC, there are unofficial ways #nms-questions message

[analog scroll]

Save edit or run the expedition yourself are options if you're on PC

[stuck berry]

There are also some rewards, like items, ships and companions, that can be transferred between players #nms-legacy-ships message

[inland ermine]

PC, Steam. Run the expedition myself? Aren't they available only during their time?

[stuck berry]

Yes. That is why this method uses unofficial means https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

and can only be done while the game is disconnected from the internet (Steam offline mode, or complete internet disconnect)

[analog scroll]

There's a pin in #nms-modding or what Grouch linked to will allow you to rerun the expedition yourself

[dusky pilot]

Trying to do ghosts in the machine but cannot find Apollo’s contact for the life of me just been finding the atlas over and over how am I supposed to find it if they are not on the galaxy map

[limber copper]

is gifting items worth it or should i be selling the items for credits?

[stuck berry]

When tracking the mission, what does it say in the lower right?

[analog scroll]

Make sure you have the right mission selected

[analog scroll]

To the emissaries? There's a limited number that you can donate for reputation

[stuck berry]

So you can't find that mission icon on the galaxy map? Are you in a multiplayer group right now?

[analog scroll]

How far have you traveled from where you picked up that mission? The target will likely be within 100 ly of that system

[limber copper]

yes like to the korvax...a limit per species or 1 gift per person? and is it worth it or just sell the items?

[dusky pilot]

No I’m not in multiplayer

[stuck berry]

Also, check any teleporter. It should show it's first destination as the closest one to that mission

[analog scroll]

You're not donating to the species, you're donating to the guilds. Gift items to the different species are something else

[proper parcel]

freighter storage expansion acquisition is tedious af. i thought frigate modules were bad

[limber copper]

not donations. gifts.

[stuck berry]

Are you referring to the race relics you can gift to individual lifeforms?

[limber copper]

yes

[stuck berry]

If so, that's not capped at all

[analog scroll]

1 in 3 Merchants emissaries at Exalted

[stuck berry]

You can gift 32893685725 to one lifeform and you will receive 32893685725 standing

you just gotta do it one item at a time

[limber copper]

is it worth it or just sell them?

[analog scroll]

Worth it is a choice you have to make for yourself

It's a ~50% discount on upgrade modules and ship reactors from each race at max reputation

[proper parcel]

oh ok i still have a couple of levels to go. guess thats not too bad

[stuck berry]

Standing above 100 isn't helpful though, outside of giving you leeway to commit crimes I guess

or making a number go up

[limber copper]

so the 50% discount is at 100 standing and no benefit to go higher?

[stuck berry]

Yes

[limber copper]

ah okay thank you

[proper parcel]

Do you mean salvaged frigate modules? im needing storage at this point ive foung all the modules in need

[dusky pilot]

I did that but still won’t show the mission on the galaxy map

[analog scroll]

Those too, but I was specifically referring to Cargo Bulkheads

[proper parcel]

ok i just need to go to more places thanks

[worldly sage]

Anyone happen to have the portal cordinants for a ship with vector wings?

[proper parcel]

yuo cant tell which guild emissary was at each station without visiting right? mods mabey. havent modded at all

[stuck berry]

You can, if you've visited any stations in that region before #nms-questions message

all stations in the same region have the same guild

[analog scroll]

Guilds are regional. If you've visited one station and emissary in a region, you know which guild will be in every other station in that region

[stuck berry]

With or without the fin?

Left is no fin, right is fin

[proper parcel]

[worldly sage]

Oh, no fin.

[analog scroll]

You're better off finding others, the refresh timer is tied to a lot of things that you do in your save

[fiery escarp]

I see

[dreamy patio]

Is there a way to build trees, plants, rocks etc you find on planets in your base?

[stuck berry]

At best, you can add them to your personal records and display them using wonder projectors, or you can build the trees/plants available from the quicksilver shop

[worldly sage]

Do I have to look specifically at a trading post or can I look at the space station?

[frail osprey]

Am I screwed?

[stuck berry]

Anywhere in the system

[analog scroll]

Trading posts cycle ships faster, but you can look in either place

[stuck berry]

Warp away, or reload a save

[frail osprey]

so I gotta do the entire fight again 🙁

I am just trying to get an echo locatorr thinggie

[analog scroll]

You won't get an echo locator from that fight

[stuck berry]

They don't give those, they give Carrier AI Fragments

[analog scroll]

They come from planetary targets

[stuck berry]

which locate a sentinel ship crash site

Echo Locators come from destroying Dissonance Resonators on dissonant worlds

[worldly sage]

^^^^

[stuck berry]

they are used to locate a Harmonic Camp

[frail osprey]

I thought they did I saw it on a reddit post

[stuck berry]

Well they don't.

[worldly sage]

Nope

[stuck berry]

The reddit user was most likely mixing up the two items

[worldly sage]

Echo locators the one that locats derelict right?

[stuck berry]

Not at all

[worldly sage]

Or is that the one from the sentinel dude

[stuck berry]

Again, Echo Locators are used to locate a Harmonic Camp. They drop from Dissonance Resonators on dissonant worlds, with a 1/5 drop chance. They also have a chance to drop from defeating the large Corrupted Sentinel Quadrupeds.

[worldly sage]

Ohhh, those ones

[stuck berry]

Derelict Freighters are located using Emergency Signal Scanners, which are bought from the scrap dealer aboard space stations

[worldly sage]

Yes yes, I just mixed up the two

[frail osprey]

I could only find living fragments and radient shards

[stuck berry]

Use your analysis visor.

[frail osprey]

none of them came up

[stuck berry]

If the dissonant world is very mountainous, move on to a different dissonant world.

[frail osprey]

I checked 2 plannets at a few locations

[stuck berry]

Then you didn't check hard enough, they aren't even that rare

or you were very unlucky

[dusky pilot]

Finally got the mission to work had to reset it 20 times

[frail osprey]

i know roughly how to find them but I am probly unlucky

[worldly sage]

Here's a tip, if you have a corvette put it in autopilot and look around with your visor

[frail osprey]

corvetts seem like a lot of work

[stuck berry]

Also, they can be seen on your Compass when in your starship, flying around.

[worldly sage]

Not really

[frail osprey]

like the advanced parts IDK how to get them

I haven't played in 8 months

[worldly sage]

Took me like 50 hours to get my first corvette

[frail osprey]

I'm less than 10 hours into this save

[stuck berry]

Any world that lists Salvageable Scrap as a resource, just locate and mine Salvage Containers.

[worldly sage]

Trade regular basic corvette parts for advanced ones at a space station

[stuck berry]

This cannot be done.

[frail osprey]

but the basic ones are really expensive

[worldly sage]

Wdym?

Yes it can

[stuck berry]

All modules offered from the basic selection cannot be used in trading for advanced modules

As well as walkways, for some reason

[frail osprey]

You can trade somethin for it IDK wht

[worldly sage]

Not those

I meant salvageable scrap

[stuck berry]

Then those aren't basic parts

[worldly sage]

Those "basic" ones

[stuck berry]

"Basic" is a term used to describe the small selection of parts that can be bought for units
these parts cannot be used in trading for the full selection of parts via the trade interface
basic parts also come from salvageable scrap too, as every part exists in that pool except for expedition ones and a few unobtainable modules that they forgot about

[frail osprey]

also in space combat am I doing it wrong by just holding S and shooting cus it is very boring

[pallid tiger]

yeah space combat do be like that

rather lackluster

[shell veldt]

How do I summon my corvette?

[analog scroll]

Same way you summon any ship, with the quick menu

[weary dagger]

Open the summon menu, then go to other ships and it'll be there

[umbral atlas]

How do I get a walker brain? I’m a relatively new player and I need one for the conflict scanner

[analog scroll]

Kill a sentinel walker, but if you are using the conflict scanner to find outlaw systems, an economy scanner will do that and is MUCH easier to get the materials for

[shell veldt]

Go to pirate systems and buy (goods) packages, they have a chance to give walker brain, otherwise keep fighting sentinels

[umbral atlas]

Oh what the whole reason I wanted to get it was to find pirate systems, I saw a really good looking ship called like a solar ship or something and I want it. Apparently you should go to a pirate system and an outlaw post to find them

[shell veldt]

Also ty

i thought my corvette somehow disappeared lol

[stuck berry]

You can find outlaw systems using an Economy Scanner, which is much easier to install

[umbral atlas]

The skull I’m guessing

[stuck berry]

Yes, in place of the economy level

[magic nebula]

Fell through the map, is there an unstuck button in options. Im on PS5

[stuck berry]

No. Normally, the game snaps you up to the planet's surface

At best, try reloading a save

If aboard your own freighter, go to Options > General > Reset Position in Freighter

[umbral atlas]

Are they really rare or something I’ve been looking around the galactic map for awhile now and haven’t come across one skull even though I have the economy scanner installed. Do I need to press a certain button or something

[stuck berry]

No, they aren't too rare

[inland ermine]

Found a derelict freighter while pulsejumping... can't land nor interact. Any reason to linger around?

[stuck berry]

and you don't need anything special, outside of an eco or conflict scanner

[stuck berry]

No.

Just move on basically

[inland ermine]

No loot, nothing?

[stuck berry]

You can only land on the ones that you locate manually using an Emergency Signal Scanner

[inland ermine]

gotcha

[stuck berry]

Some destroyed freighters like that have cargo pods floating nearby that can be shot, this one doesn't look like it has any

even then, the items given from destroying these aren't important

[magic nebula]

That's frustrating. Long drive to drop off hazardous materials in expedition.

[hot sand]

Where the hell do I find lithium?

[analog scroll]

Ooo didn’t know that ty

@stuck berry btw do you know if I can change the color of my corevette outside a space station?

Like on a planet

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can

[shell veldt]

How

[stuck berry]

by just entering build mode and recoloring individual modules

just like how you would at any other base

[shell veldt]

Ah

[stuck berry]

I do not believe that the "recolor entire corvette" options are available outside of the corvette editor

[shell veldt]

It’s ok ty

[hollow epoch]

is it possible to remove the sentinel ships main gun because i know you can with the photon cannon

[shell veldt]

Wait how do I enter that in settings?

[stuck berry]

Yes, by having any other weapon installed

you can never remove the last remaining weapon of any starship

[hollow epoch]

no but without a weapon

[analog scroll]

Ships have to have at least 1 weapon

[hollow epoch]

you can if its damadged it can be disasembled

[stuck berry]

Not in settings, just open the build menu while aboard your corvette, or while outside of it but nearby while aboard a space station or on a planet

[hollow epoch]

or at least it can on switch

[stuck berry]

You're not supposed to be able to ever remove the final weapon of a starship

[hollow epoch]

oh?

umm

i must be mistaken

[stuck berry]

Same with multi-tools, which is why it's impossible to remove the mining beam, but with that even moreso as the game crashes if you do that via save editing or mods

multi-tools allow you to remove whatever though, and just stop you from removing the mining beam ever

[hollow epoch]

ok

[inland ermine]

Hmmmm, there is a Corvette Parts Storage... is it cross-station? Like, I can dump all my parts in tehre and will be able to access them whenever?

[hollow epoch]

if i have multiple people in my corvet and it gets desroyed what hapens to them?

[hollow epoch]

yes

[stuck berry]

They may just be left in space, I haven't seen anybody do this yet

[hollow epoch]

i now have to know

i will make it my dying wish

[proper parcel]

are there enough spaces in the corvette part storage to hold a stack of each component?

[stuck berry]

Yes, plus like 40 more slots or something

and each module stacks up to 500 in that inventory

[hollow moat]

how people get 140k dps with neural cannon? i have 3 supercharged upgrades and it is only 65k now

[hollow epoch]

better s class upgrades

[proper parcel]

ok good. was hoping not like ingredients where you have 50 slots and 500 ingredients. good thing i dont cook

[analog scroll]

Damage Potential is not DPS

[stuck berry]

Probably because you aren't using your fourth upgrade, that and maybe supercharging the P-Field Compressor may lead to more stats than superchargin an upgrade but idk

Also yes, S-Class neutron cannon upgrades have a decent amount of variance compared to other upgrades

also, their illegal versions are not better, they have the same maximums but far lower minimums and a weight towards those minimums

[inland ermine]

Okay, I now regret not coming back to the game earlier.

Fully customizable ship is the only thing I was missing.

[hollow moat]

ok, so invest more in s class

but still, its hard to image it can go that far with better upgrades and 1 more slot

[tacit smelt]

should i start an expedition from the anomaly? or a new save?

[hollow moat]

but damage potential is not directly linked to dps?

[hollow epoch]

new save

[stuck berry]

If you already have an existing save you play on a lot, do it from the anomaly on that one

[analog scroll]

Your choice

[stuck berry]

and also you don't plan on starting a new playthrough

[tacit smelt]

oh wait, wrong one

is it worth doing the expedition? cuz this shit is testing my patience, are there actual good rewards for my actual save? cuz this is my first expedition.

[hollow epoch]

yes

[limber kayak]

Who even owns this sever?

[analog scroll]

There are a couple of exclusive customization modules for the colossus in this expedition that you can't get any other way

[hollow epoch]

cool legs for your exocraft

[tacit smelt]

thats it?

[hollow epoch]

and a realy cool cabin

and a paint job

[tacit smelt]

cabin?

[hollow epoch]

driver bit

[limber kayak]

Who owns this server

[tacit smelt]

so youre saying i drove back and forth for an hour, for a "really cool cabin" and a paint job

fuck

[stuck berry]

You could possibly ask in #contact-us, if you have a reason for this query

[limber kayak]

Tell them to add a pet chanel

[stuck berry]

#nms-fauna

This already exists.

[limber kayak]

Oh

[hollow epoch]

exactly

[limber kayak]

I ment a pet like this

[analog scroll]

#off-topic-bond-james-bond

[stuck berry]

Oh. #off-topic-bond-james-bond

[hollow epoch]

spot on

[tacit smelt]

shit ass rewards

[stuck berry]

And the spider legs for it, and the outfit

[hollow epoch]

what its amazin

[hollow epoch]

OHHHHHHHHHhh

[tacit smelt]

am i actually going to use this exocraft, like ever?

in my actual save

[inland ermine]

Okay, probably final question for today: How do I summon my 2nd ship? (I want to transfer tech and inventory into corvette).

[hollow epoch]

yeah the steem punk outfit is cool

[tacit smelt]

outfit wor what? like exosuit outfit?

[stuck berry]

If you want to haul salvage for nanites, yes.

[analog scroll]

Quick menu

[stuck berry]

This is the final reward from the expedition

[hollow epoch]

go to the quick menu

[stuck berry]

well, the helmet is unlocked by default

[tacit smelt]

when u complete phase 5?

[inland ermine]

roger, found it

Thx a lot

[stuck berry]

When you have completed all 5 phases

[stoic gazelle]

What does dissonance/dissonant actually mean? (Not ingame)

[tacit smelt]

google exists for a reason

[hollow epoch]

lack of harmony among musical notes.

[stuck berry]

Clashing against what is already there

[hollow epoch]

it makes sense if you complete the story

[shell veldt]

is it possible to get multiple corvettes?

[tacit smelt]

yes

[shell veldt]

i kinda want to make a knight for my angle

W

[wheat cove]

Yes, but you can't scrap them (you have to trade them to NPCs to get rid of them)

[shell veldt]

or remove each part individually?

[stuck berry]

You cannot finalize a corvette that lacks the minimum required modules

[wheat cove]

You can only save the corvette if it has a minimum set of viable parts

[stuck berry]

At best, you can remove as much as you can and then finalize, then exchange it to get rid of it

or you can just reuse it and turn it into something completely different

[shell veldt]

but like how many corvettes can you have then? and are they counted to wards normal starships too?

how many can i have of each

i have 1 corvette, 3 living ship and 1 sentinel

[hollow epoch]

they count toards you max ship count

but they cant be archived

[stuck berry]

You can have up to 12 active starships, as well as 18 in your starship archive

Corvette-class starships cannot be placed in the starship archive

[shell veldt]

so 6 archived ships and 6 corvette + starships

[stuck berry]

No.

12 active ships total, can be any

plus 18 in your starship archive. these can be any except corvettes

ships can be freely placed and removed from the starship archive at your freighter bridge

so 30 ships total

[hollow epoch]

we need a biger archive

[stuck berry]

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[stuck berry]

but 30 is far more than enough

[hollow epoch]

ty

nah

[shell veldt]

do they listen?

[hollow epoch]

ive got 20 sentinel ships

[stuck berry]

do you use all of them??

[hollow epoch]

yes

i display them

they are beutiful

[stuck berry]

just save a photo of them and their coordinates

[shell veldt]

i want 20 living ships those look so cool but the egg is super expensive :/

[hollow epoch]

in you life

they take a week of your life

[stuck berry]

Only your first one takes 5 days

all after are instantly located

[shell veldt]

to get the quicksilver?

yea i am talking about quicksilver

its super expensive

[hollow epoch]

no that takes like 5 minutes

if you have a corvet

[analog scroll]

Only if you save edit

[stuck berry]

the quicksilver may take similar to that, but it only takes half a week, if including the weekend mission

[amber grove]

is there a channel for nms groups or like for peopel to go into a smaller server?

[stuck berry]

#1418605454300549120

[amber grove]

thanks

[gaunt compass]

ive been buying tech packages in pirate systems to sell the stuff for nanites after. when i started, each vendor had like 6-8 to sell but now they only have 3-4. is this normal or am i just unlucky

[livid kayak]

You're probably just unlucky, keep going

8 is max so it's not really that uncommon to get 3-4

[shell veldt]

???

[stuck berry]

You have glitched outside of the Space Anomaly interior

possibly reload a prior save

[tacit smelt]

am i ever going to need A LOT of like, indium, cadmium or emeril?

[stuck berry]

If you want lots of Chromatic Metal, yes

Indium and Quartzite are the most valuable of the stellar metals

also, the individual ones are required for certain recipes, like activated copper being a repair resource for something I think

[livid kayak]

and often for repairs, right?

[tacit smelt]

do i also need a lot of the activated versions of those metals?

[stuck berry]

They refine into more chromatic metal than their unactivated versions, at least without using special recipes

but even then, they also refine much faster than those complex recipes

[tacit smelt]

uh, so should i just have mineral extractors for all metals and their activated versions?

[stuck berry]

Not really. Having one for either the activated or unactivated version of either Indium or Quartzite is really enough for most

[livid kayak]

Nah, not really. Just create a stack of each one of them, and it will last a good amount of time for you. Also keep in mind, that you can use copper for chromatic metal

[tacit smelt]

i almost have 100k oxygen lol, what should i do with that

[livid kayak]

keep some in your backpack. Usefull for recharging your exosuit tech

[lucid gate]

10k or 100k ?

[tacit smelt]

100k

[tacit smelt]

.

[stuck berry]

Honestly no need to stockpile resources that you have a farm for, I've never needed more than 10k at a time outside of making stasis devices

[lucid gate]

keep a 10k in your pack and 4 pack in your inv. rest sold, never need more imo.

[hollow epoch]

how do you post in #1418605454300549120 ?

[stuck berry]

See the top post thing #1418618288208085114 message

[limber kayak]

How do u get living frights without the limited quest done

[hollow epoch]

cool ty

[stuck berry]

Acquiring them is unrelated to the Starbirth mission #nms-commands message

[limber kayak]

I have starburth done

I ment the expansion

[stuck berry]

basically, do frigate expeditions until you get the Dream Aerial blueprint, craft that, then pulse to encounter your first one

[limber kayak]

How do I get it?

How do I do expositions

[stuck berry]

You get the blueprint for the Dream Aerial randomly by sending out frigate expeditions

[hollow epoch]

what if the froup is trans galactic?

[stuck berry]

Speak to the lifeform at your freighter bridge, next to the table

[limber kayak]

What is the chances

[stuck berry]

I do not know

[stuck berry]

Then their "main planet" is in one of them

[hollow epoch]

but what if you operate from a corvetee?

[tacit smelt]

ami able to harvest sodium through a gas extractor?

[stuck berry]

Then where do you gather as a community?

[hollow epoch]

ohhh

the a random space station

like not "random"

its one quite specific station

but ty

[stuck berry]

Yes, on worlds that list it as a resource. It's a secondary mineral resource, so it can appear on any type of world alongside their biome mineral and stellar metal

[stuck berry]

Then the coordinates to the planet the space station orbits would be what you would use

[limber kayak]

Witch one is most likely to get me the dream Ariel

[gaunt compass]

just do any of them until you get it

[limber kayak]

Long ones or short ones

[stuck berry]

Long ones are more rewarding

[neon dew]

Is there 257 or 255 galaxies

[gaunt compass]

what’s the best way to upgrade multi tool inventory

[livid kayak]

256, but 255 accesible

[stuck berry]

255, plus an extra one that can only be reached via save editing/multiplayer joining

No others exist whatsoever, other than in name by the name generator when errors occur

If you use a save editor to set your position to a galaxy outside of this range, the game corrects it to within the range on-load, but forgets to update the current galaxy name before loading completes

which has created the myth that galaxies outside of 1-256 exist (they do not)

[fierce coral]

where's the corvette maker im in not outlaw station

is it anomaly

[stuck berry]

Down the entrance tunnel

in every space station

[livid kayak]

It's in the regular station. Behind the standard landing pads

[stuck berry]

there are four corvette workshops, each in front of a corvette landing pad

[fierce coral]

thank you

[livid kayak]

You can also use the teleporters to get there, they are placed next to the guy who gives you missions

[tacit smelt]

Is an S class mineral deposit rare?

[hollow epoch]

cool

[quick rivet]

Hey man, it worked perfectly! I’m so happy it worked. Thank you so much!

[nimble wraith]

Howdy folks, does anyone know if there is a limit to how many supply depots can be hooked together? Is there a cap to how much the entire network can hold?

[stuck berry]

There is no limit

[swift sand]

no limit on depots besides save file base parts limit of 21k

[nimble wraith]

awesome, thank you both

[swift sand]

(or upload limit, if you were going to)

[summer lantern]

Does warp jumping refresh goods demand of a system?

[swift sand]

you mean on a trade terminal? nah, time based

[summer lantern]

Ah. So in a trade surge, is it still worth going to another system after selling to go get more?

[fierce coral]

whats the freighter bulkhead

[swift sand]

yeah, if the surge is still active

[fierce coral]

im mostly looking for frigate module to unlock rooms for freighter building

[swift sand]

freighter inventory upgrade item

[fierce coral]

I see

[summer lantern]

alright, thanks. Time to keep jumping then

[swift sand]

salvaged frigate module can drop from crates spread around the DF mission

[summer lantern]

also, is trader supply shared between planets within a system?

[fierce coral]

havent gotten any yet.. :c

[swift sand]

i think so, but i'm not sure sorry

[woven moat]

The real night's watch 😎

[summer lantern]

No worries. Thanks for the continued help

[swift sand]

yeah, rng there, not much you can do but keep trying. an interiorlayout with lots of rooms will most likely have more crates, which in turn could result in more sfm drops

[swift sand]

nice one! that said, please remember channel topic: screenshots here to give or ask for help. #nms-media can be used for this kind of post i think 🙂

[amber pivot]

How rare is it to get a sentinel ship from one appearing in distress?

It appeared as a mission and told me to follow it to a different system

[swift sand]

certainly uncommon yeah

[amber pivot]

Hmm

[brittle mesa]

Does waste respawn in Waste Heaps?

[swift sand]

eventually it will, at least after you collect enough waste elsewhere. though right now seems that there's some considering the possibility that it might also be time based/influenced from what i've been reading

[brittle mesa]

Ah, I have a heap/plant pair very close together. I’ll keep an eye on them.

[tacit smelt]

i just installed the minotaur ai pilot, but i cant like, do anything with it

it just kinda walks around

false advertising

[swift sand]

despite what the description says, it wont mine for us, but if you got something like the minotaur cannon installed in it, and go into combat, it will also shoot at sentinels. that said, remember that it can still get tech damaged when you're not piloting it, potentially incapacitating it during a fight

[tacit smelt]

legit false advertising

[swift sand]

lol yeah, a bit. well, remember that we can submit feedback to the devs at any time via the zendesk link 🙂

[vital estuary]

I never used it though in some cases it might take some pressure off you for a bit, though later on it won't seem to do much.

[swift sand]

tbh i never really use mino in combat, i guess i should more often to give myself a change of pace.

[stuck berry]

I recently started using it after learning how combat scaling operates

[quartz minnow]

Grouch do you still have the glyphs to that hyperborean giant I sent a couple months ago?

[stuck berry]

it's hilariously powerful if your current MT lacks a weapon

[quartz minnow]

I wanted to visit it again

[swift sand]

oh yeah

[stuck berry]

It's one of these probably idk

[stuck berry]

this requires saving and reloading after switching to the mt with the desired effect

[swift sand]

can certainly see that scaling elsewhere, dont even need to go that far, but yeah, it's a little broken

[vital estuary]

Sounds like it almost scales opposite of your damage potential.
Would be a big boost for a weaker player.

[stuck berry]

I was just surprised it affects exocraft, it's most likely a bug

[swift sand]

yep lol

[swift sand]

it's quite easy to take out sentinels with a bare boltcaster - but install a c-class bolt module and it instantly gets a little tougher

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is done to make earlygame/pacifist combat not unbeatable, but high-end combat still fun and vaguely challenging

[swift sand]

and with some setups, we can easily outpace that scaling, so it's not a problem on either end

[quartz minnow]

Yeah I’m pretty sure the third one was the one I discovered

Ima visit it later

[vital estuary]

Might explain why starting out with an expedition reward staff seemed such a pain in the rear on abandoned mode.
Should have just used a pointy stick instead.

[stuck berry]

This also affects the mining beam, but even with the best mining upgrades it's still far worse than actual supercharged weapons IMO

and leagues worse than exocraft weapons with the same scaling

[tacit smelt]

what does the "star seed" do? ive had it in my exosuit technology for a while but dont know what it is/does

[stuck berry]

gives core health

shared adjacency w remembrance, which also gives core health

when placed adjacent, they give +3 core health total

[fierce coral]

im in a salvageable scrap planet trying to look for them to get corvette partws

anyone got photos of what i should look for

is it scannable?

[stuck berry]

Use analysis visor

[fierce coral]

ty

[stuck berry]

or exocraft scanner

[quartz minnow]

I got my first exotic ship

yippee

it’s like a orb thingy

with a dorsal fin

and it’s an s class

[fierce coral]

how do u find those again

can i see it

[quartz minnow]

they spawn in space stations

[stuck berry]

they spawn anywhere ships spawn

1 in 301 chance

each system has one design for them

they are always S-Class

[quartz minnow]

grouch you want glyphs? Cause I know you like documenting em

[fierce coral]

any tips

[quartz minnow]

can’t

It’s luck

entirely rng

Just camp

until you spot one

[stuck berry]

Maybe, but I still haven't made any display for crediting other people outside of one-off things

[quartz minnow]

I don’t mind

[fierce coral]

whats this

[quartz minnow]

idc about credit that much

[stuck berry]

Go to any trade outpost, wait for 5 ships to land, then save and reload

[stuck berry]

One of your frigate expeditions

[fierce coral]

ah

[fierce coral]

ty

how do u save and reload without the antenna

[quartz minnow]

@stuck berry

[stuck berry]

Place down a Save Point or Save Beacon, then interact with it

[fierce coral]

ty

[fierce coral]

how much did it cost

[quartz minnow]

Get in your ship and get out at the place you want

[quartz minnow]

12.2m

I bought it didn’t exchange

[stuck berry]

Could you take a photo of the whole ship?

without the ui in the way

[quartz minnow]

Aight

I took the ss

But they take a bit to upload to Xbox network

[stuck berry]

They cost up to like 40 mil on normal

[quartz minnow]

So give it like 45-60 seconds

And I’ll send it

Think it costed 27m

[soft wolf]

Where do I find vykeen outposts I need the daggers?

[tacit smelt]

can i do something with this teleporter the size of a ship i found on a planet?

[quartz minnow]

I can’t hide the ui for some reason but it doesn’t block anything

@stuck berry

[stuck berry]

Do you mean a Boundary Failure? Not really, outside of reading it's terminal to the side

[stuck berry]

Use your quick menu > Utilities to locate a Trade Outpost in a Vy'keen system if you have an Economy Scanner installed. Pilots that land there will sell Vy'keen Daggers

[quick rivet]

@swift sand, since you helped me so much, I’m currently trying to produce celluloid distortion. However, I need my spatial port in my colony to be A-class. Can you help me understand how to get it, or where I can find it?

[soft wolf]

Got it thank you

[fierce coral]

damn

btw i made the save beacon how do i save it

or use it

like reload

[stuck berry]

Look at it and hold the interact button while close to it

[swift sand]

"celluloid distortion" isnt ringing any bells (translating?) if you aim visor at or interact with the landing pad terminal, what class is it? what resource is it asking for to upgrade? can you post a screenshot?

[fierce coral]

yeah

its saved

[tacit smelt]

would gold show up on mineral survey mode?

[stuck berry]

If the planet lists Gold as a resource, yes.

[quick rivet]

This? And I searched, I don’t have it

[fierce coral]

whats different than a regular S rank and exotic

[shell veldt]

would it be an issue if i colored my corvette human colors? i mean she will become "reveling" is there some kind of no nsfw in this server or in game even though you know, its a corvette

[stuck berry]

There is a function to report bases, which does also appear on the anomaly when near a corvette, but idk

it really depends

[shell veldt]

will i get a "warning" or will i get nuked and the corvette gets deleted ?

i mean its not sexual i just want white wings, red lips, tan skin

blonde hair

[swift sand]

ah, warp cell. yeah. so wait, you dont have a landing pad at the settlement yet?

[tacit smelt]

thats fucking sick bro

[stuck berry]

It might just stop appearing for the player that reported it, and they might have some system to stop that corvette from showing to others but idk at all

[quick rivet]

Well I guess I have one but I can’t do anything with it

[swift sand]

exotics are really well balanced ships, and always s-class

[shell veldt]

ty bro still need to color it like i said

[shell veldt]

is there a mod i can ask?

[swift sand]

wdym? a settlement building landing pad, right, that you built via settlement decision? when you interact with its terminal, what do you see?

child of helios space encounter: just pretty to look at, it only really has a gameplay function when spawned by a starbirth quest stage

[swift sand]

Child of Helios

[quick rivet]

Tell me if it’s the wrong thing cuz my translation is not super accurate( I’m gonna change it to English in two sec)

[quartz minnow]

Space anomaly

[swift sand]

ah, rn you need to wait for another building to finish building/upgrading

52m left

[pastel pelican]

So it just flys around basically??

[quick rivet]

Okay then I’m gonna need to upgrade it to A-class and after it’ll work?

[swift sand]

yeah, once you pulse/fly away far enough it'll just despawn

[quartz minnow]

Yes

but if you encounter an asteroid larvae

and shoot it

You get attacked

So don’t take your chances on ANY living anomaly

[swift sand]

yeah, that's what it says on the settlement admin terminal when you try to view the craftable product list right?

[pastel pelican]

Well it was very beautiful to look at lol

[quartz minnow]

What’s the difference between autophage and korvax?

[swift sand]

autophage.. well, are disconnected from the convergence basically, they had to rebuild their new shells

[quick rivet]

I need to upgrade the “starport”… I don’t think I have it….

[stuck berry]

and they personally do not wish to be associated with Korvax anymore

[quartz minnow]

So they are basically outsiders of the korvax

?

[swift sand]

yeah
