[random jewel]

is the seeds of glass the last thing you need to build in the starbirth mission

[fervent root]

yo, so basicly i have the game at max res everything ultra eccetera

only that it still looks a bit shit somehow, i don't know if it's in game filters or something

[random jewel]

games optimization makes all of the different resolution/visual settings pretty much the same

[bleak violet]

Is there a way to create your own multitool or can I only buy them from space stations?

[fervent root]

?

[stuck berry]

Can only buy them from space stations. Later on, there's a special type that you can build yourself but the colors are semi-random, and they're very different from other multi-tools visually (they're staffs)

[fervent root]

well i see people's screenshots being absolutely breathtaking and i don't get how they do that

[random jewel]

make sure your actually applying the settings you change though

[bleak violet]

What do you mean later on?

[random jewel]

you have to click the little apply button at the bottom

[fervent root]

yeah been like that since months

[stuck berry]

As in after the main story, this ability is unlocked from a mission that comes after #nms-commands message

[analog scroll]

After you meet the requirements, one of which is completing the story

[bleak violet]

I finished the purge
Do I need to finish the atlas path aswell?

[analog scroll]

Read the FAQ that Grouch linked

[stuck berry]

For this mission specifically, not yet

You must lift the seal of a Harmonic Camp for the first time #nms-commands message

[bleak violet]

I did I think

Thats with the sentinel ships right?

[stuck berry]

It's related to them

[bleak violet]

Yeah I think I did

[stuck berry]

If you are sure that you have, then your next starship warp that isn't interrupted by a freighter battle will begin the mission

[fallen breach]

k dont hunt salvaged data on a frozen planet lol the grey icon is so hard to see

[bleak violet]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

You can check if you have before by checking to see that you have the Aeron Turbojet backpack customization option unlocked at any Appearance Modifier

[bleak violet]

Yeah I do

[fervent root]

like i dunno, it's even 2k

[analog scroll]

Start at step 3 #nms-commands message

[bleak violet]

Thx

[random jewel]

is the mission to unlock atlantid multitools the same to unlock purple systems?

[analog scroll]

No, it comes before that. It's the same one you unlock the Autophage in

[random jewel]

can you send me a SS of how your game looks? one just in your normal and then one using photo mode

[random jewel]

looks fine

[fervent root]

eh probably they use some graphic mods

[random jewel]

probably just photo mode

[lean oriole]

so, i've visited about 20-25 different giant gas systems and only found one with waterworld/deep ocean... tried using the lithium trick but doesnt seem to help any.

[summer lantern]

is there a crafting tree for the different scan-bonus meals?

[stuck berry]

Gas Giant systems do not have waterworlds in them, ever

[lean oriole]

the only waterworld i found had horrible storms and such.

[stuck berry]

as waterworlds cannot be found in the form of moons/giants

[lean oriole]

actually i found one.

[stuck berry]

you did not

[lean oriole]

but it was hot and toxic.

i do to.

[stuck berry]

unless you are referring to a giant of a different biome that has deep oceans

[lean oriole]

ill show you.

[stuck berry]

again, waterworlds are not in the list of biomes present in purple system moons/giants

they only appear as planets

[lean oriole]

that moon also holds 3 of my planet records

deepest ocean, hottest planet, and something else

[stuck berry]

when

[lean oriole]

starting up xbox now and logging in.

[stuck berry]

It's intended as in it's defined in the file that determines that stuff, but it does not make sense and will most likely be changed in some way in the future

Abandoned Mode players wouldn't be "screwed" if PROC_SALVAGE was removed

as Salvageable Scrap still exists in abandoned mode, to my knowledge

[lean oriole]

you are correct. it was a non gas purple system

been using this guide to find them tho.

[stuck berry]

And when you go to locate Lithium, it always points you to the closest waterworld

[lean oriole]

man, i've been reading it wrong.. the obtaining lithium guide threw me off had me thinking I gotta find a gas system with lithium.

thanks for clarifying.

[stuck berry]

The targetting isn't working for me, could be mods or jank with my save but I doubt both so idk

Honestly it's much easier to just warp to different non-giant purple systems and just look manually

at least when this targeting system is broken like it is for me lol

[lean oriole]

no way i found one on first jump

[whole harness]

Ahhh alr, crazy stuff. Now that I think about it im curious if abandoned mode players can find waste heaps, ive only ever seen those on inhabited planets,

[stuck berry]

They should be able to, since sentinel ship crash sites/harmonic camps can also be found in abandoned systems

Yes, they do exist in abandoned systems

[shell veldt]

genuine question: could this be considered nsfw material?

[analog scroll]

#off-topic-bond-james-bond

[shell veldt]

i should ask there? why

no matter i will go

[analog scroll]

Because this is a gameplay help channel

[shell veldt]

i cant share picture there

:/

[peak citrus]

How can I start an expedition with my friend

@warm bane

[analog scroll]

Both of you start the expedition, then one joins the other

via join friends

[peak citrus]

Ohhh okay thank you

Is it important to take anything with me in the cargo slots?

[quartz minnow]

I need glyphs for a outlaw station

[analog scroll]

Install an economy scanner and go find one, they're not hard to find

[shell veldt]

or just keep jumping they are not rare

[bleak violet]

How can I grow sodium on my freighter?

I cant?

So whats the method to get it in bulk

[hexed kindle]

the only plant that you can derive sodium from is marrow bulb, which can only grow planetside

[stuck berry]

Use mineral extractors on a planet that lists it as a resource, at a Sodium Hotspot located with your survery device #nms-questions message

[bleak violet]

This applies to oxygen too?

[hexed kindle]

if you really want to use freighter items, you can combine your current sodium with carbon to get sodium nitrate and refine it again to give you more sodium than you ended up with

[analog scroll]

Oxygen hotspots exist on every planet

[analog scroll]

Condensed Carbon

[lean oriole]

is there a way to stop infant pets from growing? be cool, i like my lil skeleton doggo.

[lost jay]

i am supposed to hire a scientific researcher in a korvas SS

but i don't see anyone to hire?

[lean oriole]

@lost jay he will be on top floor in back by the multitool box

[lost jay]

in any/all korvax stations?

[swift sand]

it'll be a specific station marked either in the same system mission triggered in, or in a nearby one via galaxy map

[swift sand]

mod only

[lost jay]

ohh ok a specific station got it thanks

[bleak violet]

is this it?

[bleak ruin]

is there a way for me to increase my exosuit storage?

[hot sand]

At space stations you can add slots to tech or storage

For cost of get free slot upgrades from missions

[bleak ruin]

bro what is that im up to refining copper

[bleak violet]

When you will get to space stations you can increase the storage

[hot sand]

Keep going for now you'll get a quest to leave the planet and go to space stations

[proper parcel]

what kinds of planets will not have water?

[swift sand]

moons in non purple stars will never have water. additionally to that, dead and weird biome also wont ever have water

[proper parcel]

bigger is ideal im hunting a good planet for corvette part grinding. can you elaborate on dead and weird biomes please?

[swift sand]

dead biome = any planet or moon with rusted metal on the list
weird biome = any planet or moon with gold on the list

that said, dont think i've ever seen a weird biome body with salvageable scrap. it's easy enough to confirm that a planet doesnt have water from space, if it doesnt have the storm overlay on at that time. if you're looking for a nice planet to farm corvette parts, i'd say not worry much, just keep visiting systems with lots of planets (up to 6), and avoid ones with lots of mountains. perhaps focus on ones with activated stellar metal on the list.

[stuck berry]

dead also doesn't have salvageable scrap, at least the new kind

[swift sand]

yeah

[bleak ruin]

guys how do i refine ferit dust to make it magnitised right now thr portable refiner only allows me to make pure ferit

[stuck berry]

it has the old kind technically, but that'll probably change or be removed

[swift sand]

yeah i didnt suggest it kinda because of that

[stuck berry]

note that dead worlds also have the containers farther apart I think, from all my testing

[swift sand]

refine pure ferrite afterwards to get mag ferrite

[stuck berry]

so I've used lush worlds so far for salvage containers and they've worked amazingly

[proper parcel]

oh ok. crud. thx

[tacit smelt]

should i upgrade my A class multitool to S? the 50k is all my nanites, is it worth?

[swift sand]

are you struggling atm? do you need the 4th supercharged slot, the increase on inventory upgrade limit, or the bump into s-class innate bonus ranges?

personally, i've used an a-class tool for a really long time, and never really felt the need to go s-class

[proper parcel]

i have one of these but there are large areas of water that interfere with my search patterns

[tacit smelt]

nope, not struggling at all

[swift sand]

there's certainly lush bodies without water

[stuck berry]

I used a giant with colossal continents, but those without oceans at all are also ideal yeah

[proper parcel]

where is this infographic? never seen anything about water bing found

[tacit smelt]

can i do anything good with food that igot from completing the expedition?

[swift sand]

then i'd suggest keeping the nanites for now. otoh, with some strategies, it's fairly easy to amass tens of thousands of nanites in a short time

[stuck berry]

It's an overlay that I created in GIMP, for all of the worlds I discover

[proper parcel]

ohok thnks yalz

[swift sand]

you could for example either cursor over it in inventory to see what it will do when you consume it, or put it in the nutrient ingestor exosuit tech input slot to see what it will give

[tacit smelt]

rlly? whats the best way, i usually buy packets from outlaw stations and sell the modules

[swift sand]

that's pretty much one of the ways. if you get lots of outlaw stations in your teleporter list, you can loop around, buying all tech/arms packets from both the contraband agent and from a trade terminal on a planet - unpack them all, sell the modules for nanites. some module types are worth more than others: e.g. x-class hazard prot sells for ~700 nanites

[tacit smelt]

wait, they have them at those?

trade terminals on planets in outlaw systems sell the arms/tech?

[swift sand]

yeah, trade terminals in outlaw systems actually have the same inventory as the contraband agent in the station

[tacit smelt]

omg, i never thought of that

[swift sand]

as long as they're not overlapped by a base computer, that is

[tacit smelt]

wait, i cant set up a base right next to it?

[swift sand]

yeah, and then there's... well, a way to cheat the "rng" on the packets, when you actually open them, to drop a specific module type

[swift sand]

claim the base computer more than 300u away from the trade terminal to not overlap, and dont expand build bubble that way

[tacit smelt]

wait, wait, r u talking about just plopping down a trade terminal, or a trade outpost

[swift sand]

sorry, yes, i meant a game generated trade terminal on a planet, like those at trade outposts

[tacit smelt]

but not a trade outpost?

fuck, im slow

[swift sand]

a trade terminal at a trade outpost in an outlaw system will have the same offerings as the contraband agent in the outlaw station. simply dont build a base nearby (within 300u) of that trade terminal, otherwise it wont have the same offerings as the contraband agent anymore, it'll just be a regular trade terminal.

[swift sand]

always ask as much as you need to; actually, i feel that the blame/fault is mine, for not explaining things clearly first and foremost.

[tacit smelt]

okok, but that takes like waaay more time, isnt it better to just have a BUNCH of outlaw stations in different systems

cuz i have 10 rn

[swift sand]

this is something i'll leave up to you. remember that sometimes both agent and trade terminal only have like 3 or 4 packets of each type we want. but perhaps a trade terminal with 10 or 11.. would make it worth your while taking a detour. besides that extra bit of time, it's not like finding a trade outpost costs you anything either, after you've unlocked and installed eco scanner.

i've done it both ways

and if you asked me why, at heart the reason is simple: i get bored of just seeing the interior of space stations and the same npc - i'd like to have a planet side view, at least from time to time

[tacit smelt]

i remember u and someone else saying it doesnt matter if u have an eco or conflict scanner in finding outlaw systems, but with eco scanner, i couldnt find 1 in like 10 mins, but when i decided to get the conflict scanner, i found like 8 in 3 minutes

theyre only in the red systems on conflict scanner mode

[swift sand]

oh conflict scanner does help in that manner for sure, and i've been of the opinion that we dont need it, but it does help, because conflict filter colors t3 conflict and outlaw red (but due to some bug or something not implemented, sometimes uncharted systems also get colored red)

[tacit smelt]

hmmmmm

ooone more question

why do only one of these work

[swift sand]

seems that there's some kind of bug with them that, when there's lots of other lights or decorations i guess might count too on the ship, some dont light up.

i tried building a ship with 4 of those, and just the other needed parts, didnt go overboard, and all 4 lit up

[tacit smelt]

does faecium grow from gutrot

[swift sand]

yep, harvesting gutrot flower will drop faecium. faecium can also be hotspot harvested (one of the possible minerals on swamp aka marsh biome planets)

[tacit smelt]

is it rare to find those planets? and hotspots

[swift sand]

nah, not really. try focusing on visiting green star systems (spectral class E) for a bit. then when scanning planets, keep an eye out for any planet/moon with it on the list.

[tacit smelt]

is gamma root hotspot harvest by chance?

[swift sand]

nah, gamma only from plants basically (gamma weed)

[summer lantern]

does a corvette reactor with 'Automatic Rechargin enabled' recharge the jump fuel, or the landing fuel?

[tacit smelt]

there is no landing fuel

[stuck berry]

Launch Thrusters

[summer lantern]

yeah, that's what i meant

[stuck berry]

That specific effect doesn't stack, so the Launch Auto-Charger is made useless by it

[random jewel]

what is the quest to unlock atlantid multitools

[stuck berry]

other than to make other modules adjacent

[stuck berry]

They Who Returned #nms-commands message

[summer lantern]

So it IS to recharge the launch thrusters then

[stuck berry]

Yes, it is

it's the exact same stat that's present on the Launch Auto-Charger and Vesper Sails

but again, this doesn't improve with multiple instances of this stat, it's a boolean

[summer lantern]

ok. I had that doubt cause i took out that tech when i got that reactor, but i noticed my corvette wasn't fully charged despite not launching that much lately.

[random jewel]

is it a different one then the one to unlock purple systems? im tryna unlock as much game content as i can rn

[stuck berry]

Yes, it comes before the mission to unlock purple systems, which is called "In Stellar Multitudes" #nms-commands message

[tacit smelt]

hey, itll say that a planet has faecium when i scan it right?

[swift sand]

yep

[tacit smelt]

k

uuuh, is "planetary anomaly" rare? ive never seen one before

[swift sand]

one of the synonyms mostly seen on mega exotic biomes - go check it out. massive indestructible flora, often weird color filters

[tacit smelt]

uh

1 more question

wtf os this

[swift sand]

asteroid larvae space encounter. mostly for flavor. if you shoot it, it cant be damaged, but it will damage you

can just move on 😄

[tacit smelt]

can i kill it? will it drop anything?

[stuck berry]

it's unkillable

[tacit smelt]

sucks, whats the point of it? just for fun?

[swift sand]

yeah, just to add something to space

weird events and stuff

[dense rock]

Anyone got this issue with making article on civilized space?

[stuck berry]

What website is this even on?

[dense rock]

Fandom nms

[stuck berry]

Oh, that's been discontinued for years, so idk

though idk about any others that support civilization entries

The error is probably related to something that you entered on the page, so it may just be a whole fandom thing

ohhh, you're missing the version template at the top

yeah, that's required for them. You can copy it from any other page, though again it's not officially maintained anymore so idk if anyone updates that either

[dense rock]

The problem is my template is propably right xD

I made exact copy

[stuck berry]

Then idk

need a inhabited dissonant system, with at least 1 dissonant planet that doesnt have gold or rusted metal on the list

[untold cove]

that is crazy

how in the heck am i supposed to find that before i pass away

[stuck berry]

By just trying again in a different system that has dissonant worlds

and observing patterns

[bleak ruin]

how much flipping elements are there in this game

[swift sand]

quite a few! (and these are just the hotspot harvestable ones)

[clever beacon]

Before I do smth stupid, is it safe to go to a black hole coords when I'm new?

[swift sand]

yeah, wont take any damage, you'll be fine. if you visited the station of this system, you'd just be able to teleport right back, or teleport to any of your bases for example no problem

[clever beacon]

Ohhh alr ty

[quartz minnow]

Best way to get standing?

I have max standing on outlaws, korvax, vykeen, gek, and autophage

[thick haven]

Get dono mats.

[quartz minnow]

?

[thick haven]

The stuff you donate to the various guilds in the corner area.

[quartz minnow]

Oh

[thick haven]

Find one you can farm en masse, then travel from station to station donating until you hit cap.

[quartz minnow]

how do I locate traders, mercenaries or whatever

[swift sand]

for outlaw and autophage, there really isn't much choice:

• do pirate things
• aid/gift autophage npcs
  for the 3 races, i guess systems of each of the races, that always trigger the pirate freighter rescue battle

[quartz minnow]

the ones I listed were the ones I completed

[swift sand]

i mean, you could have just said "how do i get guild standing"

[quartz minnow]

Oh

[thick haven]

There's really only two ways, quests and donations.

Far as I know.

And quests are much slower.

[swift sand]

yeah, go item donating

that'll be the best probably

[quartz minnow]

Ok

[swift sand]

combine with mission board stacking if you find some of the stackable ones

[thick haven]

Oh, I love those. It's so fun to finish like 10 "cull creatures" quests at once.

Very satisfying.

[bleak ruin]

guys when i go investigate the space station should i take my refinerie etc with me?

[swift sand]

i would yes

[bleak ruin]

oops i left

[bleak ruin]

what about the portal i ahve setup there

[swift sand]

ah, it was at a base of yours?

then it'll be there and can be found ofc

[bleak ruin]

ok then

[swift sand]

@bleak ruin also, not a portal, a teleporter 😉

[fervent root]

is there a way to actually make clouds look like clouds instead of being basicly transparent?

or did they mess clouds in an update

[stuck berry]

Possibly raise cloud detail in the grahpics options

[fervent root]

everything is at ultra

[stuck berry]

Do you have a screenshot? (of the clouds)

Here's what they look like for me, I do have a few mods installed but none of them affect in-atmosphere cloud rendering to my knowledge. In some cases, they look very transparent which might not be intentional, idk

if you think it's problematic, tell them!

[stuck berry]

They updated clouds drastically in Worlds Part I, and another time in the latest update, Remnant

[tacit smelt]

@swift sand i think i found a work around not being able to put a base next to outlaw trade outposts, u can place a base and a tp at the outpost, and when u need to go to it, tp, delete ur tp and base computer, then youll be able to buy the goods, and then place it back down and leave, idk if thats fasters or not than just flying to it from 300 u away tho, prob not

[swift sand]

yeah, not sure about that one, might be more clicks than just building the base comp, and using short range teleporter to get close to the trade outpost in a hurry

[tacit smelt]

SHORT RANGE TELEPORTER???

[tacit smelt]

whats the max distance of the short range tp?

[eager storm]

If completing a derelict freighter gives a class upgrade(I got mining) is that the only type you f upgrade it gives or can it give any s class upgrade?

[swift sand]

200u

[swift sand]

any of the existing types, just random which type it drops

[tacit smelt]

u can then chain 2 together to get right next to the outpost no?

[swift sand]

yep yep

[tacit smelt]

fck, i forgot about that, thx

[stuck berry]

No, you can get all types from any of them, just the class is fixed per system

[eager storm]

So getting mining twice was just “luck” lol the others can drop

[stuck berry]

true luck

[eager storm]

Thanks

[fiery escarp]

How long does it take until nodes like supply depots or manufacturing factories to reset?

[swift sand]

in short, when your save file has reached the limit of stored interactions, because of interacting with more buildings, the game will be forced to forget you ever interacted with them, and at that point, they'd regenerate

[fiery escarp]

Thanks

[fervent root]

the stars go right through the clouds basicly

[bleak violet]

Recommendations on how to get 1 superconductor for the staff? Right now I'm going between the merchant guild shops in a system but idk if thats a good strategy

Getting the blueprint just seems annoying rn and like it would take longer

[tacit smelt]

@swift sand bro, u dont need short range tp hahahah, just put a normal tp at the edge of the 300 u radius, and that should already be right next to the trade terminal lol

[swift sand]

that works yeah. also see <#nms-questions message> if you're looking to get materials. it can also be a mission board reward sometimes.

[swift sand]

haha very true!! 😄

[tacit smelt]

nvm, i lied, just tested it out

[bleak violet]

Alright thanks

[tacit smelt]

itbecomes an extension

[bleak ruin]

uhhow do i get nanites i only have units

[bleak violet]

I managed to get a semiconductor so that means I just need 1 enriched carbon right?
Assuming I get the blueprint

[swift sand]

the actual teleporter is not only used to teleport out of a base, but also set our teleport in spawn point, so you could/should be able to use it that way

[bleak violet]

You think I can look for 1 enriched carbon in trade channel lol?

[swift sand]

would suggest typing !faq-nanites in #nms-commands for some tips

[swift sand]

enriched carbon, yeah, i'd go for depots, quite common

[bleak ruin]

uh

[swift sand]

but sure, yeah, can certainly ask around there

[tacit smelt]

uuuh, i dont understand

[bleak violet]

How can I find depots?

[swift sand]

1. build and claim a base computer
2. teleport to that base - you'll spawn next to the base comp
3. now build a teleporter at that base, away from the base comp
4. teleport to that base again: you will spawn next to the teleporter, not to the base computer

[swift sand]

any exocraft with the base radar tech installed can locate them easily - you could also use secure/secret planetary charts

[bleak violet]

Too bad I don't really have any exocraft 💔

thx tho

[swift sand]

unlocking roamer would be a matter of some 4 or 5 salvaged data, the exocraft radar tech a couple hundred nanites if that

then just build the geobay, spawn it, install tech, goto town

roamer geobay can be unlocked with salvaged data as mentioned, from the construction research station in the anomaly

[bleak violet]

I got the superconductor finally 😄

[bleak ruin]

where can i upgrade my exosuit storage at the spacestation?

[stuck berry]

Next to the exosuit upgrade merchant

[swift sand]

just rightof the exosuit upgrade module shop, in the observation deck. remember that there's also one in the anomaly, rightof selene (exosuit research npc), summon anomaly once per system)

@swift sand how did u place the close range tp next to the trade terminal? it goes to normal trades afteri place it

[swift sand]

try placing it like 20u away or so, maybe a bit more. the short range teleporter is most likely also adding its own small build bubble around it

[untold cove]

thank you mate, i just had to use my brain a littlebit, found one a few minutes after you helped me

[bleak violet]

Cant believe I did allat for this

[swift sand]

@untold cove a possibly easier way to find a suitable dissonant system is to use a carrier ai fragment consumable item. (it drops from destroying space police freighter)

[untold cove]

oh

i have a few of those

[swift sand]

nah, for much more. that's just a staff you build during the quest, and i've seen people getting s-class out of it lol. that said, no bother, you'll be able to acquire more parts and build other staffs with diff parts, and only build when you see s-class popping

[quartz minnow]

How can I locate guilds

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message Check different regions

Each region has one guild

[quartz minnow]

How do I know which guild?

[stuck berry]

By landing at any of it's space stations

The guild's logo will be above the guild envoy

[quartz minnow]

Uh

Where’s the guild envoy😭

Nvm found it

but how do I increase guild standing

[bleak violet]

How do I get those?

Whats the process after I finished the mission

[stuck berry]

Do missions at the mission board related to them, or donate items

[stuck berry]

Use your Polyphonic Core to locate an Autophage Camp
Scan at the Autophage Camp to reveal cloaked Autophage units
Interact with Autophage units to accept tasks from them, then complete those to earn Void Motes
Interact with the Autophage Synthesis Terminal at Autophage Camps to buy staff parts, each one offers a different selection of staff parts
When you have one of each type of staff part (so one head, one handle and one core), interact with any Autophage Synthesis Terminal to construct the staff
The staff's class is randomized, per the combination of head you use and the camp you build it at. Changing either of these variables leads to a different predetermined outcome, so attempt to build it at a different camp if you wish for a higher class, or upgrade it's class manually using nanites at the Multi-Tool Upgrade Station aboard Space Stations

[summer lantern]

Is it worth it? 5M seems like the tall ask unless it's a one time payment, or the profit is even larger

[bleak violet]

Thank you 🙂

[stuck berry]

It won't pay itself back, and it's not a one-time payment, but it can give many items that can't simply be bought or found easily

[summer lantern]

rip. Thanks for info

[stuck berry]

Once you do that thing for the first time, Iteration: Helios aboard the Space Anomaly will give you one for free once every week

[summer lantern]

Ah, ok, so first one is worth it

[swift sand]

@bleak violet in addition to what Grouch said, also see <#nms-questions message> and the video in it

[untold cove]

did i hsve to change system to find a different type of sentinel spaceship?

[wheat cove]

Yes

[untold cove]

ait, cool

even the color?

[pallid viper]

Do yall think this is too big for the anomaly? I dont wanna crash anyone

my character in the pic for scale

[wheat cove]

I believe it's the same design (including colour) throughout a system, only the class may vary

[untold cove]

ok, ty

[swift sand]

maybe; i'd suggest asking around in #nms-corvette-discussion 🙂

[summer lantern]

Should i turn in derelict freighter data to envoy or gray market? What are the rewards for each?

[tall sun]

took me a sec to find your character 😂 i love it

[swift sand]

envoy gives race standing+nanites, scrap dealer gives tainted metal. i'd say turn both items to scrap dealer. there's some nice stuff to unlock from him that needs tainted metal, besides tainted metal having a decent refine to nanites ratio

[summer lantern]

Ah, if envoy gives standard rep and currencies, yeah I'll go to scrap dealer. Thankjs

[pallid viper]

oh wait you saw me in the anomaly?

[tall sun]

no in the screenshot lol

i wish tho that would be funny

[pallid viper]

rn im on a planet taht inexplicably has liek 80 people at it

[tall sun]

huh

just a random one you found?

[marsh zealot]

the Envoy boosts your guild rating & race rank (i did this early game just to get the better rewards faster); the dealer gives you tainted metal. i prefer the dealer normally since the tainted metal is good for nanites

[swift sand]

guild envoy, just race standing, not guild @marsh zealot

donating items to guild envoys is the best way to get standing fast probably

[pallid viper]

ok so apparently i naturally came across the weekly quicksilver quest planet

insane

[terse crown]

Anyone have an idea why i cant add anybody

Keeps saying nms friend failed to add

[summer lantern]

is freighter jumping/summoning free?

[terse crown]

So long as the freighter hyperdrive is full yeah

[summer lantern]

what would spend it? jumping from within the freighter itself?

[terse crown]

And summoning it

[summer lantern]

so... it's not free then?

[terse crown]

But its not hard to refill and barely depletes

[swift sand]

summoning freighter is always free, only warping costs fuel @summer lantern @terse crown

[terse crown]

Well then

[summer lantern]

Weird it acts like that, but I'll take it. Thanksç

[terse crown]

Are the nms servers buggy rn bc i cant add anybody

[swift sand]

just says fail to add? have you tried just restarting the game, and are you sure you're adding the right friend code?

[terse crown]

I found out what was wrong

I had a wrong character in the friend code

[still dragon]

is the weapons terminal supposed to give you infinite multi tools after you finish all the quests because it seems quite broken to be able to disassemble them for free materials for no additional cost, especially with what the blaze javelin disassembles for which for an infinitely repeatable task is really simple

oh and also scrapping the multi tools too

[swift sand]

yeah this is a known issue that's been reported here by other players as well

feel free to submit feedback to the devs. afaik it's supposed to be 1 every 24h

[lost kestrel]

why does this game let you blow up npc capital ships for no reason?

[civic kestrel]

Hey what should I do if I found an emergency civilisation shelter pod?

[topaz horizon]

Are autophage camps only found on dissonant planets?

[inner wedge]

It’s just a special encounter nothing to interact with

[inner wedge]

I think after you finish the quest line they can be on any planet, but I’m not too sure about that. Someone will correct if I’m wrong

[topaz horizon]

Thanks!

I’m hunting a specific color combination for a voltaic staff so I’m not sure which planets to target. 🙂

[soft wolf]

Does anyone know what the stages are for agricultural research in your freighter?

I’m currently on the gamma weed one

[manic vessel]

Because HelloGames wants it that way.

[pallid viper]

Why do I keep getting flung? I'm flying through space and suddenly my camera is spinnjing 1000mph for no reason after xero collisions with nothing nearby

[pallid viper]

Its just a dynamic event that you cant really do anything with

that smear is the sun, for reference for the flinging

literally unplayable ive been stranded in space for like 20 minutes

[stuck berry]

That shouldn't ever happen, maybe your corvette keeps thinking it's colliding with something

[pallid viper]

its so unbearably awful and is gining me a headache

[stuck berry]

There were a few bugs like that that were basically unavoidable when the update first released, but they were thought to be fully patched

[haughty tusk]

This guy is giving me free multi tool, its better than mine right? Should i take it and repair everything or delete those red parts

[stuck berry]

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[pallid viper]

the red parts are damaged slots that you cant use untill you repair them

[stuck berry]

Definitely take it, yeah. To remove the red part, you need to repair them

It has all 3 of it's supercharged slots revealed, which is really good

[haughty tusk]

Whats that?
What makes a tool good? Just the number of slots it has? Rest comes from mods?

[pallid viper]

Literally in hell rn

[stuck berry]

Upgrades definitely dictate things a lot more than how one starts out, but that other one has a bunch of slots available and it's e supercharged slots revealed so that's nice to not have to expand it's inventory

[pallid viper]

RELEASE ME

RELEAAASEE MEEEEE

[stuck berry]

Later on, it'll definitely be a matter of just liking how it looks

[stuck berry]

So you have any mods installed?

[pallid viper]

Do any of yall know a fix for the nonstop spinning?

[pallid viper]

no

[lost kestrel]

spinning??? i love spinning

[pallid viper]

Its giving me a headache

[lost kestrel]

thats a mod i made that intentionally makes me do that

at an insane rate

[stuck berry]

Possibly try to modify the shape of your corvette at a space station, or remove decorations inside of it. That's how we avoided the issue when it was first a thing

[pallid viper]

i am unable to reach the space station under the current circumstances

[stuck berry]

Summon your freighter and board it, or the space anomaly

[haughty tusk]

I took the multitool for free but where did my current one go? It had some scan mods i wanted 🙁

[stuck berry]

In your multitool list, use the quick menu > utilities > swap multitools to pick it

[haughty tusk]

Ty

[ocean olive]

How many MT can be archived on the storage rack?

[stuck berry]

Up to 18, just like the Starship Archive

[ocean olive]

So 6 active and 18 archived. Thank you

[pallid viper]

I fixed it by uninstalling the flight assist ov erride upgrade

[stuck berry]

Ohhh, how much maneuverability do you have?

[quartz minnow]

What’s the strangest fauna you have ever seen?

[stuck berry]

Prolly all these fellas #nms-fauna message but some of them are just cool and not weird

[quartz minnow]

The “grunt” looks very very similar to a gek

[stuck berry]

Oh, these ones are also weird!

[wintry jungle]

How to deal with the drones near my base?

[stuck berry]

Don't mine things near them to not make them mad, unless they're already mad

[wintry jungle]

But they scan me and attack

[stuck berry]

Throughout the tutorial/very early story, you're given the blueprint to make a Boltcaster, which is the first weapon you get

[wintry jungle]

Oh i found it and i can shot them of with that?

[stuck berry]

You can shoot them with that, which at least buys you time to run away. It uses Projectile Ammunition, which is crafted

[wintry jungle]

Ok thanks

[stuck berry]

In the future, it's best to avoid habitation on worlds with Aggressive Sentinels

[wintry jungle]

And where i need to craft it?

[stuck berry]

In your exosuit cargo inventory, like any other craftable item

[wintry jungle]

But i can find it to craft there

I mean its not show that i can craft the waeopn but i have blueprint

[stuck berry]

Select an open multi-tool slot, then select to build it

you will then need to supply the resources to finalize installation

I thought you were asking about Projectile Ammunition, not the Boltcaster itself

[wintry jungle]

I found it thanks

[bleak ruin]

guys how do i make chromatic metal for antimatter?

[stuck berry]

Refine Copper, or any other stellar metal

[bleak ruin]

another thing should i sell my star silk?

[stuck berry]

Yes, it can be used for to build few furnature things but you can just buy more later

[noble steeple]

So, just a question, when will other players be able to see your cape that you’re wearing?

[stuck berry]

We do not know. Capes were added in the Outlaws update in 2022, and have been like this since then https://www.nomanssky.com/outlaws-update/

If you would like for them to display for other players, you can let Hello Games know at

[tawdry urchin]

must I have Space Combat be set to None? to get a freighter/pirate freighter?

[stuck berry]

Having Space Combat set to None will make it so that space combat never occurs, including freighter battles

[tawdry urchin]

oh it says not be set to none lol

[stuck berry]

Having encountered two freighter battles so far is also a requirement for pirate dreadnought events to spawn #nms-questions message

[tawdry urchin]

so if i take the first freighter from teh first rescue and go to another and save them, and then go to another (in a pirate system) it will likely be a pirate dread?

[stuck berry]

Yes

though note that regular freighter battles have a cooldown between them #nms-questions message

[tawdry urchin]

yea...

[tawdry urchin]

damn taking awhile to hit that frst battle rescue

[stuck berry]

Have you not encountered one before?

[tawdry urchin]

once, apparently within the last 3 hours

ig getting closer to 3 hours tho i dont remmeber exact when

[stuck berry]

The timer also doesn't count time spent in any menus, or time spent teleporting/warping

[bleak ruin]

guys how do i equip upgrades after i buy them with nanites

[stuck berry]

By hovering over them and pressing the "install" button, then placing them into a technology slot

[bleak ruin]

bro i dont have a quest or mission what do i do?

[stuck berry]

What do you mean, are you saying that your log is empty?

That shouldn't ever be possible

[bleak ruin]

nvm

[reef mirage]

Hello guys im new

So uh, how do i see my waypoint and get to other solar systems faster?

[tropic ginkgo]

which waypoint, story mission?

[reef mirage]

No, custom one to a planet

[bleak ruin]

bruh what the hell are space anomalys

[tropic ginkgo]

select that planet from your discovery screen, pulse to it

[stuck berry]

When you mark one, you should see the waypoint while in the system. You can then pulse to it

If you mean you marked a star system, you should be given a small objective marker leading you to it on the galaxy map

alternatively, you can just teleport back to it's space station if you visited it recently

[stuck berry]

Random things you encounter in space? They just happen

Unless you're talking about the Space Anomaly, that is

[bleak ruin]

idk

i need it for a misson

like i have to talk the the inhabitates

[reef mirage]

I marked one on the galaxy map

And uhh i don't see anything

[stuck berry]

Then go do that, you can summon it in space using the quick menu if you left it

[lofty magnet]

Hi, sorry to ping you again. Previously I asked this question (attached message below) which you advised to turn on GTAO. Apparently my friend have always use GTAO on ultra but the problem is still there... Any idea how to fix it then? 😓🙏

I have this kinda problem https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/6UgSEbevPw basically the color in photo mode is always worse than without photo mode. And no, no filter whatsoever. Any idea how to fix it...?

[stuck berry]

Then you might not be close enough

[bleak ruin]

how

[stuck berry]

Open the quick menu while in space.

[reef mirage]

Oh nah, that's not cool

[stuck berry]

Navigate to the option titled "Summon the Space Anomaly"

Then select it

I don't understand how to travel in this game at all

[stuck berry]

Progress the tutorial mission "Awakenings" to learn how to travel to other star systems

[reef mirage]

Dayum uh well

Im far away from a planet

I think

[stuck berry]

Then possibly reload a prior save

Or pulse back to the planets

You can see where other planets are on your starship's holographic map in first person

It's impossible to travel to other star systems by just pulsing

[reef mirage]

Yeah i can see that...

Wish i'd knew it sooner

[gleaming yarrow]

does anybody knows other ways to earn quicksilvers?

i was almost done with a very hard mission but when i came back to the nexus my game crashed and the mission ws gone

[stuck berry]

Complete the daily or weekend nexus missions

#nms-commands message

[gleaming yarrow]

is this the only way?

[stuck berry]

It's the primary way, no other way compares to it

There's a very rare space event that gives Quicksilver, as well as a rare settlement decision that gives it

[gleaming yarrow]

okk thanks

[stuck berry]

Also, speaking to Nada throughout the main story when The Space Anomaly is auto-tracked will also give Quicksilver

[hollow hare]

okay am i cooked with these features

[river canyon]

No, over time they will be replaced by positives

[hollow hare]

In peaceful mode (or however its called) how do batteries work

[hollow hare]

I see ty

I thought those were pre-settings or sum

[stuck berry]

Do you mean relaxed mode or creative mode?

[hollow hare]

Relaxed yeah, i forgot its name

Creative js lets you do whatev you want

[stuck berry]

In relaxed mode, you no longer have to worry about Life Support, but still have to deal with hazard protection and health

You can see the differences between difficulty options in the difficulty options menu

[hollow hare]

Ofc i know that but i mean

Batteries, do they work the same as normal mode

[stuck berry]

Define batteries, do you mean the ones you build at your base to be supported by solar panels?

[hollow hare]

Yup

[stuck berry]

Those work identically

Though in relaxed, you can enable infinite power per-base

[hollow hare]

I see, cause apparently mine stay permanently full for sum reason

[stuck berry]

Then you most likely have infinite power enabled at it's base computer, which is the default

[hollow hare]

I see

[stuck berry]

Infinite base power is one option that's a part of Relaxed Mode

[hollow hare]

Also i found a surprisingly Earth-like planet

Is that normal

Got grass and allat

[hot forge]

is there a way to unstuck?

[stuck berry]

Outside of your own freighter, no

[hot forge]

how can i get out then?

[stuck berry]

Try reloading a prior save

[hollow hare]

Howd you get stuck

[stuck berry]

Context helps a lot, where are you stuck?

[urban briar]

If I get stuck, I use an orbital uplink. Teleports to the nearest station.

[stuck berry]

This item is not obtainable outside of Expedition 19: Corvette

[hot forge]

i was building a ship last night and i came off half way though now im stuck in a hallway

[urban briar]

Was unaware.

[stuck berry]

Try building a chair that you can sit in, then sitting in it (if you have the blueprint available to you)

[frail osprey]

Is this a relatively large amount of flora and minerals?

[stuck berry]

Not really, though those numbers can be very inaccurate anyways

[hot forge]

they just spin

[stuck berry]

Again, chairs that you can sit in

[hot forge]

now what 🙁

[stuck berry]

Do you have the blueprint for any chairs that can be sat in? This includes all of the sofas

[hot forge]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU

It clipped me out

[stuck berry]

All of these chairs can be sat in #nms-questions message

[hollow hare]

Can aronium be found on the galactic trade terminal? Its kinda a pain to get

[stuck berry]

I don't think so
Just craft it, or possibly randomly get it from a frigate expedition

[summer lantern]

Is Atlas eternal... well... eternal? An endless quest?

[stuck berry]

Yes

[summer lantern]

Ok, good to know. I can stop there then

[hollow hare]

I see, last thing... I kinda wanna build my own starship but im not sure on how to get the parts for it

[stuck berry]

Salvage other starships, and select Extract Customisation Module

We can only build fighter, explorer, hauler and solar ships via starship fabrication, as well as corvette-class starships via their own special system

[hollow hare]

Do the starships have to be fixed? I got 2 broken ones in my inventory atm lol

[stuck berry]

No, you can just go and salvage them immediately

Just switch to them, then teleport to any space station

[hollow hare]

I see, thank you

[stuck berry]

To get a part usable in starship fabrication, select to extract a customisation module, then select the part you wish to extract

You also need a reactor, which you can buy from the tech merchant aboard space stations

[echo imp]

has anyone had the issue where the throttle is stuck after warping? I have played for more than 300 hours and this just started happening.

[river canyon]

Have you cleared the cache?

[solemn oar]

Powering of the PS4? Yeah I tried that

[river canyon]

No, not just powering off

[solemn oar]

What should I do then

[river canyon]

Power down the PS4. Disconnect the power cord completely from it, wait 30 seconds.

[solemn oar]

Yeah I did that

[river canyon]

Dunno then, that's about as much troubleshooting as can be done for console

Reinstalled?

Does PS4 have a verify game files option of some sort?

[solemn oar]

I don't think so

Maybe the DVD is ruined but a lot of people are reporting the same issue

The base version of the game without any updates works fine

It has to be one of the latest updates

Now the update weighs 26GB, while yesterday when I reinstalled the game it was only 8GB

No idea what changed

[hollow hare]

Why do corvettes have to be so expensive for beginners

smh

[swift sand]

well, you can farm parts for free - dont necessarily need to spend units to get basic modules, just farm salvageable scrap then possibly even barter for parts you want

hi asta 🤗

[hollow hare]

oh... wait so did i just waste 5m out of 7m for nothing

[gray shoal]

Bc they are more mid game conent. After players handles the basics

[swift sand]

moneys can be easily farmed again, dont worry about it

[hollow hare]

fair enough

[swift sand]

you got the headstart - remember that we can mod corvettes after they're built

i somewhat agree with astaroth on this too fwiw, but well, another goal to work towards

[last gust]

i've visited over 100 star systems and still haven't found any paradise planet, is that normal?

[proper parcel]

when searching for frigates to join my fleet. do the economies and specialties of a system affect the type and class of frigates? for instance does a affluent scientific system have better chance for s class scientific vessels?

[swift sand]

1. any planet/moon with star bulb on the list may potentially be hazardous storm free, even if it doesn't specifically say the body is a paradise planet/moon - having the paradise "tag" simply confirms to you from space that it wont have storms
2. you can locate star bulb resource via catalog&guide to be led to a system with a planet of the lush biome, which could very well turn out to be a paradise planet/moon
3. well, 100, 200 - that's the stroke of luck, or lack of - be sure to focus on visiting yellow star systems only, perhaps explore in a lush type galaxy e.g. eissentam

[swift sand]

nah, unrelated

focus on higher eco tier systems, but other than that, nah

[proper parcel]

aw damnd. should be. would make sense

thx

[swift sand]

@proper parcel eco tier class drop chance does affects frigate class that spawns, just not the type

so iow you could find s-class scientific anywhere, except t1 eco tier

[reef mirage]

Guys

Some random spaceships teleported to my planted

Planet

What are they

[swift sand]

ships like these?

[reef mirage]

Yes

[swift sand]

fly by event, they're actually called "frigates". we cant really do anything with them when they spawn on a planet atmosphere, but when found in space, if we have a freighter already, we can hire up to 30 frigates to be able to run fleet expedition missions for passive loot

[reef mirage]

Woah that's cool

Im new so i kinda dont know anything

Expeditions thing too

[swift sand]

dont worry, all part of the journey, always feel free to ask when you feel stuck or curious about something

[swift sand]

"expedition" is a bit of an ambiguation: there's fleet expeditions, and expedition game mode

[reef mirage]

Ofc, thank you so much

The portal thing

Do i need to always craft it again?

Or can i pick it up

If i want to change bases

Or smth

[swift sand]

teleporter cant be picked up - we only need a teleporter at a base to teleport out, not in

they're cheap to build, eventually you wont think about crafting cost at all

[reef mirage]

Yeah fair

Cause im that awakening quest or smth

[swift sand]

still very early yeah

[reef mirage]

And i need to make a teleporter but i don't want to say on this planet

Or solar system

Do i just leave my base and the teleporter here or?

[swift sand]

we can have up to 400 bases, we can delete bases we dont need anymore, when we delete a part we get 100% of its build mats back

[reef mirage]

Ohhhh

[swift sand]

we can teleport to any claimed base computer, regardless of whether there's a teleporter at that base or not, from anywhere in the universe

so yeah, you can just leave it - can teleport back whenever you want anyway

[reef mirage]

What about my ship

[swift sand]

@reef mirage you'll need to have a "base" to build in to progress the early quests so i'd certainly suggest always having at least 1 claimed base computer somewhere at all times, so that missions dont get stuck

[swift sand]

ship always teleports with us whenever we teleport

[reef mirage]

Yup i do

[swift sand]

it'll get parked nearby

[reef mirage]

Just floating around a 1x1 box😭💔

[swift sand]

that's okay, only need it as a basic shelter/mission progrssing

[reef mirage]

At this moment there are players with me in the universe?

[swift sand]

we all play in the same universe, but we control whether we want to see other players or not (multiplayer on or off). if two players have multiplayer enabled and happen to be in/get to the same system (there are trillions and trillions), the game would auto connect them into an instance, and they'd see each other

[reef mirage]

All active players on the whole game? Only one server?

Dyaum that is literally so cool

[swift sand]

the game itself doesn't run on a server - servers are only needed to create multiplayer "groups" and hold uploaded discovery data, bases, etc

[gray shoal]

Some Game modes have seperate instances like permadeath or expedition

[reef mirage]

Yeee just crafted my first teleporter

[swift sand]

to elaborate a bit more, the game you have installed interprets the "code" that generates the universe, a galaxy, a planet, a ship, etc - the same way another player's game would

the game doesn't hand craft all that - this is all procedurally generated

that's how the install size is so low, and has a universe so large

planets only get rendered if you visit, and while you visit

[reef mirage]

Yeah makes sense

When you're not there, it doesen't exist

Omg a space station appeard

[untold cove]

I feel like when you have 100m+ units there's no point in farming even more. Am I wrong?

[reef mirage]

Whoah

I got 24k

[untold cove]

You must be early into your playthrough then?

[reef mirage]

Oh yeah

Just found my first space station, idk what to do here

[untold cove]

[reef mirage]

Come visit me💔

[untold cove]

Every system has a space station

Unless.... It's a "dead" system

[reef mirage]

Gosh i need so many units for upgrades

[untold cove]

Just keep doing the main questline

[wheat cove]

If you play long enough, you will hit the unit cap. There is no real need to farm units in the long term. You might need a bump early to fulfill specific personal goals, though.

[reef mirage]

Where do i upgrade my ship

[wheat cove]

In a space station, there's a terminal with a display of your ship

If it's a regular space station (not abandoned or pirate), it's at the back left.

If it's a pirate station, it's at the front right.

[reef mirage]

No wayyyy we can build starships

[wheat cove]

Yep

[reef mirage]

But i don't think i have anything to do that lol

[wheat cove]

You can get parts by scrapping ships and extracting a customisation module (wings, fuselage, cockpit). The reactor is purchased from the starship upgrade module vendor.

[reef mirage]

Oh it will take a long time to understand everything

[wheat cove]

(the parts all need to be from the same class of ship - fighter, explorer, shuttle, etc)

Alternatively, you can make a corvette by collecting salvaged scrap

[hazy berry]

you can always ask here, if something is bothering your mind

[wheat cove]

A corvette is a fully custom ship made from individual modules

It's like a flying base

[reef mirage]

Yeah i saw it on tt, its so cool man

I saw a town on a planet i want to visit

Made by a player

[untold cove]

I'm 600 hours into the game and I still come here and ask stupid questions 😹

[reef mirage]

It's nms, we cant know everything 😭

[untold cove]

[reef mirage]

I see i need to upgrade my suit and spaceship too

I just want to make my ship faster ig

[swift sand]

part of it is going to be about upgrading gear too yeah, upgrades are certainly going to be a way to smooth out that progression curve. early on, try not to hoard so much - there's very little you actually need to keep on you.

[swift sand]

pulse engine upgrade modules (a or s-class ones recommended) will make that happen

[reef mirage]

Hmmm hmm noted

[swift sand]

in short, it's a huge game, try to not pay so much attention to the "best ways of playing" or the "best ways of getting units or nanites"

it's a lot of fun just exploring the game on your own

catalog&guide has been greatly improved over the years too

[reef mirage]

It is indeed, i just need to find out how to leave the solar system

[swift sand]

keep progressing awakenings

[reef mirage]

And yk, travel

[swift sand]

awakenings is going to lead to having an hyperdrive, and more

awakenings is just the first mission of the main storyline

iow, you havent even scratched the surface "dont worry"

the game doesnt "come fully opened up", not by a long shot

[reef mirage]

And maybe i should find a civilization with players

You know, join them

[swift sand]

dont worry about that - there'll be plenty of time for that after you've learned the game

[reef mirage]

Long way to go fr

[swift sand]

but yes, there's player civilizations

[reef mirage]

There's this town on a planet

Built by a player

I will visit it when i can

[swift sand]

not quite as long as you might think, but yes, there's certainly the basics to learn, the basics to unlock, etc

[reef mirage]

Citadel of Faye

[regal leaf]

Agreed, its a game that as someone with hundreds of hours take the early game slow and appreciate it. Take things slow and notice the small details or build that base youve always wanted to build

[swift sand]

you already got a side goal, that's great

[regal leaf]

you literally have complete free will

[reef mirage]

Yeah main thing is to progress and as a side to explore when i can

When my progress allows

[swift sand]

a bit of patience goes a long way in nms, sometimes it's almost like it wants to show you things, pretty things

[regal leaf]

and sometimes it dosent lol

[swift sand]

that's where patience comes in 😉

[regal leaf]

true true

[sweet rampart]

Does anybody here have an idea as to what the next Expedition may be? The Remnant expedition came late to my Switch, forcing me to miss the first Corvette expeditions, so I don't want to miss any more. This was ALSO my first expedition that I fully completed!

[swift sand]

congrats on finishing remnant! and sorry, nothing on game files already that would allow us to know before hand what the next one will be

[regal leaf]

honestly at this point nobody even knows whats happening in Sean's head lol

it could honestly be anything

[sweet rampart]

Oh, ok. Thanks, I thought that PC players might get certain expeditions before I do

[regal leaf]

if I had to guess though probably something that expands on spacewalks

[sweet rampart]

For PC, are there furnitures for Corvettes? I thought I saw some in a tutorial a while back

[regal leaf]

yes there is

[swift sand]

switch/switch2 sometimes get updates delayed probably by nintendo cert processes, and sometimes that turns out that an expedition only becomes available on switch/switch2 a bit later on. that said, usually, there's still plenty of time, as pretty much all expeditions can be completed in a few hours

[swift sand]

you mean, for corvette interiors? decorations? can use just regular base parts e.g. couches, chairs, etc

[sweet rampart]

Yeah, but it only lets me use specifically corvette interior, like the Medi-pod, Refinery, Windows, and Living wall, along with the mission radar

[reef mirage]

Woah new ships came to the space station

[sweet rampart]

new ships?

[reef mirage]

Yeah

I was alone

[swift sand]

well, but have you unlocked other parts?

[reef mirage]

And other ships came but idk if they're players

[swift sand]

game will keep spawning ships infinitely while you're there. if they're were players, you'd notice it (player markers, multiplayer chat box on the left side)

[sweet rampart]

I'm currently using a creative save for exploration due to me not having a swich 2 and therefore no multiplayer

[swift sand]

can you go inside your corvette base, then open build menu? there should be multiple build tabs, and in them you'll find other base parts

[sweet rampart]

There's only two tabs, farming and utility/internal config/storage

[frail osprey]

Can someone tell me what this is?

[sweet rampart]

oh yeah i found that once

i think it might be something like the Equinox spindrive, or a reactor like the ones in Satisfactory

Equinox from Starlink BFA

[frail osprey]

Does it do anything?

[sweet rampart]

not that I know of

I just walked around it eating bubbles tho to

so*

[proper lodge]

i used it for blueprint in starbirth quest but idk if it's used anywhere else

[frail osprey]

Never heard of that quest

whats it about?

[proper lodge]

you need void egg to start it

[sweet rampart]

Oh its for the fauna ship

[proper lodge]

that quest is for living ship

[sweet rampart]

like the alien megafauna frigate

but as a small ship

[hazy berry]

is the weekend quicksilver mission same for everyone?

[wheat cove]

There's a small terminal you can interact with on the left side (as you're looking at it in this image)

It has a small lore snippet - these appear on anomalous worlds

[frail osprey]

I hate the scarcitry of the quicksilver stuff I don't want to have to do radiant quests to start the cool missions

[proper lodge]

there are plenty of people who have many of them, maybe you'll get one by luck

[teal storm]

For some reason I have like 30k quicksilver?

[frail osprey]

I litterally ask around in the anomally and I barely get anything. doesn't help that I am on europian servers where there are a majority of non-english speakers

[sweet rampart]

I was thinking of swapping out the thrusters on my DS-40 Dominion, any ideas?

[hazy berry]

i have like 40 void eggs

if thats what you are after

[frail osprey]

Also what are these???

[sweet rampart]

mind you, it has two side thrusters for the mains, but they ARE side thrusters

oh those are random missions

[frail osprey]

Not really I haven't ever been that interested in them

the quicksilver stuff I want is the armour

but thats really expensive

[sweet rampart]

you only know what they are once you accept them

[hazy berry]

they are "encrypted" missions. you wont know what it is before you start it

[frail osprey]

thanks

[hazy berry]

ahh, saddly i think that theres no way to give quicksilver to anyone, atleast not in my knowledge

[frail osprey]

Yeah If I wanted it that badly i would just use a save editor but I'm not that bothered

[reef mirage]

Who can lend me a geodesite😜

[frail osprey]

I am doing one right now and I need to collect activated emeril but what does the activated bit mean?

[hazy berry]

actived stellar metals (in your case emeril) can be only found on extreme weather planets

and ofcourse you need to be in green system

[sweet rampart]

hey, do friend codes work if you are on switch?

[frail osprey]

i can see that now lol

[frail osprey]

what are they used for?

[hazy berry]

activated stellar metals?

like activated emeril?

they can be sold or they can be refined to chromatic metal. For example 1 activated emeril becomes 3 chromatic metal

[frail osprey]

That makes sense! Thanks for the help!

[rare heath]

question, I read that the sentinel multi-tools have an inherent mining beam bonus because you can place the hijacked laser next to the regular mining beam for a good extra bonus; is this true?
and if it is, does the atlantid multi-tool have the same type of bonus, with their runic lens next to the regular mining beam module?

[teal storm]

1 Emeril, 1 gold, and 1 silver become like 20 or 30 chromatic metal.

Best conversion 💪

[proper lodge]

why the space station i'm on right now doesn't have core and only has 2 doors on sides that lead to interior with normal space station stuff but infected

and stuff in shop says either economy data unavailable, kzzkt or data missing

[teal storm]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Abandoned_System

[swift sand]

installing mining beam core tech side by side with hijacked laser/runic lens will buff them yes

[safe glade]

what can I do to make this thing go away? I've cleared the sentinels about 15 times but this is not going away despite getting the message that sentinels are backing down. things I've tried:

• teleport to another system
• reload before/after clearing the sentinels
• disabling sentinels from a tower that is unfortunately on another planet, there's no tower on this planet

[swift sand]

1 ind+1 gold+1 silver = 30 cmetal yeah (if emeril instead of indium, ratio is 20 cmetal)

[sweet rampart]

What's a settlement, I

ve never seen those before

[swift sand]

are you playing solo? 2) this should eventually stop by its own ime. what do you have options/difficulty/{enemy strength, on foot combat} set to?

[safe glade]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_Settlement

[swift sand]

game generated POI that is like a small npc village that we can overseer - iow, help them get better

[sweet rampart]

oh ok

[swift sand]

you'll eventually be introduced to them by a mission called a planet in distress

[sweet rampart]

ohhh like the small observatories and stuff?

[safe glade]

I'm with multiplayer off because I'm doing the Starbirth mission, setting is on normal I think

yep Standard

[swift sand]

more involved, but yeah, a game generated building. we can upgrade buildings, eventually it gets more buildings etc - some buildings have functions, allow settlement to craft certain items that player can then take, but in the end, they're not game breaking

[safe glade]

I'll try to restart steam maybe it will help

[sweet rampart]

oh ok yeah I don't think ive seen those before

[swift sand]

try to fly to the station of the system, then teleport back to settlement

[sweet rampart]

ive done the atlantid mission, but i have seen that mission

havent*

[safe glade]

yeah did that too, I teleported from space station, another settlement, another system and freighter, none cleared it, they always re-appear

hope restarting steam will help

[swift sand]

owning a settlement isnt' required to do the autophage quests, so it's possible sure

[swift sand]

ime, the sentinel attack will eventually just time out

[safe glade]

ok, I'll restart and wait

thanks!

[reef mirage]

Uh hi, anyone got some geodite or Something i can sell for money? Please:3

[gray shoal]

Ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[swift sand]

for early on cash, i usually just either go sell some salvaged data (note that after you unlock the space anomaly, you'll probably want to start saving salvaged data for researching base building parts blueprints), or loot some buried caches/buried mineral formation - and then sell that stuff

Ohhh okay thank you

[minor cape]

I’m on Xbox and still can’t finish Remnants. Guess I will have to wait for the Redux version. Really disappointed in Sean for releasing an incomplete update. Embarrassing. I will NEVER buy Light No Fire if this is the same format. SomSean gets the big “YOU SUKK” on this one.

[swift sand]

sorry that you're having a bad experience, myself i went through it pretty much without a hitch or hickup. what is preventing you from completing this expedition run?

[nimble wraith]

Do sentinals only get aggressive when you are harvesting, or do they get nasty if you are flattening land, building bases etc?

[severe crown]

What triggers getting the 'Dreams of the Deep' mission?
Wiki says it is either finishing the 16/16 mission or the Pioneer milestone. Neither of which I had when Dreams became available.

[minor cape]

Also couldn’t do last weeks main Quicksilver mission because I can’t t build bases. Pieces won’t snap together. Lol So Remnants on Xbox has messed everything up. What a Freckin joke.

[swift sand]

only when you're harvesting stuff with mining beam, terrain manip doesnt trigger them (not even if you're mining a mineral deposit)

[nimble wraith]

Just what I wanted to hear. Got a pesky one very interested in me, didn't want to make him angry

[swift sand]

Pieces won’t snap together
that's odd, sounds like something simple like snap mode was disabled, or you were trying to snap parts together that dont snap (usually by game design)

[swift sand]

that should be it, but let me try to double check

[minor cape]

The finding 6 fauna mission is glitched. I have all fauna discovered. But the discovery page says the flying fauna is not found. Marked green in the sky. 6 weeks of wasted time. Took 2 weeks of crashing every two minutes to get all but 1 milestone. Sean has no excuses for releasing a horrible update.

[cursive roost]

Is there a way to locate your corvette after losing it ? (launch thrusters are broken)

[swift sand]

But the discovery page says the flying fauna is not found
did you start this expedition from main menu, or from anomaly?

[minor cape]

Floors won’t snap. Snap mode? Wtf is that? And why would that even be in the game?

[swift sand]

if you're at 6 or less ships, and only have 1 corvette, and have a freighter - resummoning freighter should park corvette outside, and you should be able to then use the short range teleporter in the hanger to teleport to it. if not, see this post <#nms-commands message>

[cursive roost]

I have 2 corvettes and it summons my other one ..

[swift sand]

yes, there's 2 ways to place a part: either using snap mode, or free placement - most of the floors of the same material can certainly snap together

[swift sand]

see link i shared then

[minor cape]

Started from Anomaly. Doesn’t matter now. If they couldn’t fix this in 6 weeks they dam sure it won’t be fixed before update end.

[swift sand]

return to main menu, portal to/get taxied to the expedition planet, discover all fauna, save, resume expedition, claim bonus nanite reward in expedition char

that should clear the milestone.

[minor cape]

Ah no they don’t. It’s glitched. They lay on top of each other. You’re totally wrong. Game is made for PC and PS players.

[severe crown]

Thanks. It is a bit baffling. We are trying to get the mission on a friend's save and I'm unable to reproduce whatever happened on mine.
I'm wondering if it was somehow triggered by taking one of the nexus missions. I've been doing a bunch of those.

[severe crown]

The odd thing here is, if the entire building system was broken on a platform, I'd have expected more chatter about it.
Is xbox not a place many people play NMS?

[minor cape]

Tried claiming the fauna hundreds of times. It doesn’t work. I deleted the game and reinstalled. Next update I will wait a week or two for all the bugs the fixed. lol.

[swift sand]

but the workaround/fix here is, return to primary save via options menu for example, then travel to expedition planet in your main save, discover all fauna, that will replicate to expedition character

[swift sand]

They lay on top of each other
not sure what you mean - these floor panels were snapped on together, side by side

[reef mirage]

What's the best ship i can buy with 181 million units, i want one that i can stay in it yk and look on the window and that is speedy and has damage ig

[swift sand]

sounds like you want to build a corvette ship. "speedy and has damage" that's just something that any ship can have, after you stack upgrades to make a ship stronger

@reef mirage basically, no point owning something you dont love the looks of, therefore no point investing in something you dont love the looks of

here's a friendly infographic

doesnt include corvettes in there, because well, it was made before corvettes were added to the game.

[reef mirage]

All of them have like, can i just stay in them? Walk?

[swift sand]

no, only corvettes let you do that

Oh nah, i need to build it?

yes

npcs cant fly corvettes

think of it as building a base that is a ship

[reef mirage]

Can i buy those thing that i need for it?

[swift sand]

see #nms-showcase-corvettes for examples

[reef mirage]

They look so good

[swift sand]

Interact with the Corvette Workshop terminal in space station. If you don't yet have any modules yet, you'll want to purchase some Basic Modules to begin building a Corvette right away.

[minor cape]

Snap base floors still don’t work. Just tried it. Reset everything to default.

You’re not on Xbox then you don’t know what you’re talking about. No worries. But all the new Xbox people you sold games to should have their money refunded.

[signal cedar]

friendly reminder: we didn't sell any games to anyone, we are not developers, we're just players

[swift sand]

1. we're all just players here, this is a community run server - nobody here works for Hello games

You’re not on Xbox then you don’t know what you’re talking about
game on xbox is the same game as it is on gamepass, therefore PC

[sweet rampart]

mind you, the workshop is accessed by the teleporters near the left hand staircase

[swift sand]

or just walking there 😄

@minor cape open your build menu, select a timber floor or something, then before placing the part take a screenshot of the entire screen and post it here

this cannot be on

[minor cape]

And this week’s Quicksilver mission says the Galaxy I’m first contact. But they have bases already on planet. Lol. And I’m not wasting any more time with this.

[severe crown]

No, it says it was discovered by You. Player's name is You 😁

Sometimes, taking a moment to look into and think about the details is key.

[swift sand]

probably just failed to connect to discovery services server fast enough when they portaled in

[severe crown]

Or, like others, when it came up that the system was "discovered by You', assumed it meant them.

[safe glade]

welp, steam restart didn't help so I just got on doing other things and eventually it did time out I guess cause suddenly it's gone

[swift sand]

it gets confusing to say the least when digging through mission files. after having spent like 30min on it, and even having asked for help understanding it, i'm still not clear on what it's doing here, what it actually wants, 100%. anyway, it seems that to trigger dreams of the deep it wants mission the purge completed, and (and/or?) 40 warps

[analog scroll]

I think it's the first warp of The Purge or your 40th warp for Dreams of the Deep. Whichever happens first

[swift sand]

yeah, it's just that in game files i see "GcMissionConditionMissionCompleted" and "ACT3_STEP2" (which is the purge)

@severe crown it seems that it's:

mission starts if:

1. player has been grabbed by hypnotic eye thingy underwater OR
2. player has completed The Purge OR
3. player has done 40 warps while NOT being in seasonal / expedition mode

[severe crown]

It must have been 1 for me because I was only a few steps into the Artemis line (still haven't done the Purge) and nowhere near 40 warps.
Thanks. We will test that out.

[swift sand]

thank you goes to @signal cedar

[swift sand]

yeah, feel free to let me know if that triggers it too

[severe crown]

That was the confusing part. I got the mission and was not even close to either of those things.

[frail osprey]

Defeating a sentinel pillar for a nexus quest and it's stuck on defeating the sentinel forces

I an't see th last ones

[raven matrix]

Is there a way to Disable Spaceship auto aiming in combat?
80% of the time it messes up my aiming or gets me stuck in a wall.

[reef mirage]

Can i do anything with it

[main stone]

Is there a way to see what the native climate is for my pets?

[analog scroll]

You can fix it and fly it, or you can fix the engines and scrap it

[reef mirage]

Anybody got some geodite?

[swift sand]

check on foot menu/creatures/companion register

[severe crown]

Looks like that might do it. I have a save with almost no progression (see screenshots for progression on methods 2 and 3 for getting the Dreams mission), but went to poke an abyssal horror.
Next trip into space, I noticed I had Dreams of the Deep.
Not 100% proof, but points to it being a strong possibility.

[languid bluff]

Hi! I bought the game two days ago and am still very new.
I saw a spaceship the other day that had some sort of energy wings.
Is there a way for me to obtain this? And if so how?
I know there is a building dock on space stations but thats for larger ships by the looks of it.
Thank you in advance

[wise reef]

The "energy wings" might have been from a solar ship, if they kinda resembled sails on either side near the front.

And yes, you can buy them from other NPC pilots

I see them most often on Outlaw systems, personally

[mystic dagger]

That's the Solar ship you talk about. You can build them in Space Station. You can find them anywhere, but most likely in Outlaw Systems.

[swift sand]

solar sail is definitely a lot more common in outlaw systems

due to the existing solar override

85% any ship and 10% any other ship type except exotic can be converted to solar in outlaw systems

[languid bluff]

O: sounds nice thank u.
Are they expensive? Scanning stuff only gives you like 200 currency.

[swift sand]

that said, we can also build solar sail @languid bluff - at the back of stations, there's another terminal that lets you build ships (just not corvettes, there's a dedicated terminal for them as you've discovered)

[frail osprey]

You can buy upgrades to give you over 100000 for each scan

[swift sand]

low unit reward on scanning like that means that you've not been upgrading your visor to increase the rewards - it's possible to get them to crazy values, but with just 3 s-class modules, you'd already be looking at something like 450k units per rare fauna scan. that said, there's lots of ways to farm units. suggest reading !faq-units bot command

[wise reef]

They are not expensive as ships go, probably in the 3-8M range in my experience.
Also yeah, get some scanner upgrades, they can raise it so you get hundreds of thousands of units per animal scan, and some foods can make that into millions

[languid bluff]

Apologies this is like my second survival game ever.
Thanks for the help.

[wise reef]

No worries, we all started there

[pine anvil]

Are experimental hydraulics used for anything other than money?

[swift sand]

nms is more on the chill side, not so much a hardcore survival game. have fun, anything else just ask

[swift sand]

nah, just to sell for cash

[pine anvil]

Lovely thanks

[wise reef]

MOST trade goods are only for money. A few are used to upgrade Settlement buildings, but you can always just go buy those in a 3-star economy when you need them

[languid bluff]

The only other one i played is subnautica. Which worked somewhat similar

Pilots i find where? To buy ships?

[wise reef]

Other ships on space stations. talk to the pilot standing next to them, you can offer to buy their ship

[languid bluff]

Thank you

[wise reef]

Also, some good early moneymakers are mining Cobalt minerals in underground caves, and once you have a small nest egg and some upgraded gear, go hunting for crashed Sentinel ships.
Or if you wanna cheese it, just visit the anomaly and someone will probably drop hundreds of millions of units on you.

[languid bluff]

ill try mining then. Most of the other things dont ring bells yet. Thank you

[quick rivet]

How do I lower my settlement debt faster ?

[analog scroll]

Just keep following The Settlers mission for that settlement and don't really worry about it. You're not responsible for the debt personally, nor do you receive any of the money the settlement "makes" when it's debt free

[brittle mesa]

Raise all the buildings to class A

[severe crown]

First part: no personal debt? great!
Second part: no profit? wait, why are we doing this again? 😛

[analog scroll]

Pride, and you can have settlements produce items for you that you can then sell, you just don't get the money they make directly
