This is false, waterworld biome planets are fully exclusive to purple systems
I remember finding one in yellow system though
guys what is vile brood
If it's designation is Rare, then it's completely normal
You can find a planet with big oceans, but not a true water world
it indicates that there are grubs on the surface, that summon the vile brood
Little things on the ground that will make big scary monster come out if you stomp them
Well you didn't, you are mistaking it for a purple system or you are mistaking oceans at all for a waterworld
OH THOSE SHIS
they summon the big vile brood queen, killing it has a chance to give bug masks
I see, i cant seem to be able to feed it creature pellets though sadly
Oh so there could be planet with more than half of it is ocean?
You craft it in your inventory, using carbon
Yes, that's what Earth is like. This does not mean that the world is a waterworld biome planet
I... know
i mean that i cant seem to be able to feed it
Alright thanks
ah, sorry
cuz even if i get close the option doesnt pop up
dw gang
Waterworld biome planets are the only planets that list Lithium as a resource, and have 1,500u deep oceans
How to find archive? Some of maps work's for that?
Btw not all creatures can be turned into companions right
I have good planet candidate in habitable system. Paradise
Vile blood or brood?
Correct
Yes, and those that can't can never be fed
how do i get titles here
Damn it, i found this weird mineral that moves on the ground in a very cool way
bummer
Some achievements as i remember and expeditions
Do you mean Discord roles, or in-game titles?
Do you mean roles in this discord server? See #roles and #roles-information
discord
Simply by talking. The bot will be givning you xp gradually
Can anything destroy my freighter?
if its a pirate dread you can summon it to fight a sentinel freighter but it losing the battle is non existing
Cool
You can destroy npc freighters but your own freighter is on a god mode
i kinda wish you could use it to fight pirates more ngl
like a pirate scan but instead of statship combat you get a real 1 vs 1 freighter battle

guys how am i suppose to know what i can use for corvette parts
By if it clearly states that it's a corvette module
and if you can place it in the corvette workshop cache
Just don't keep those parts in the cache, or you'll be constantly spammed with hints about them
im exploring a palnet and i found like a broken part of a corvette
but i cant harvest it
Can you show a screenshot/photo of what you're talking about?
This is purely cosmetic though
keeping corvette parts in some other storage medium is insanely costly, as they stack less high
You probably need to remove the outer parts with a mining laser first
i cant send here
so if you go to any space station you can press x on it and it will give you a tab for "corvette part storage", just a quick tip
oops
if you cant mine the core you need to destroy the rods
Sure, i just hate spam
where else would he keep it
i keep them in a storage container
Well using 3 storage containers for something that has a purpose-built storage medium with 10x the stack size isn't something I'd advise to just avoid an outdated warning message
I'm just using one, because i don't need that many parts at once, but yes, it's less efficient. Like i've said - i just hate spam š
i was gonna say
wait what is the icon name when i hold f for the ship parts?
The second image is what you're looking for on these Salvageable Scrap planets
oh i missed like 10 of those
its golden
Just make sure it's colored yellow, because you might find identical, white icon, and that's not going to be it
Do planets themselves get different ship spawns compared to the system? as I found a starship on a moon that I couldnāt find on the space station
if you make a small corvette and fly it farming them becomes easier
also whats the difference between star ship and corvette
Yeah, corvette or Pilgrim exocraft. Both will make the grind easier
A corvette is a type of starship
The main difference is that corvettes can be bigger, they are custom built by you, and you'll have a walkable interior
oh
whats the deal with squadrons? is it really easy to get S tier mates? cause i got two in like 10 mins
corvette is a ship you build, it acts more like a flying house
hey, there is this sound that randomly plays, i have no clue what it is, butits wherever i go, i tried restarting the game, but it wont stop, idk what it is, its like. vroooom, VROOOOOOOOOOM. every like 30 seconds
guys whats the average amount of ship parts i need for a smll corvetee
its so annoying\
the unique thing with corvettes is you can live the cockpit while it is flying in space and just jump off
There really is no 'average' Go with what looks good to you.;
you need 1 cockpit, 1 engine, 1 living room, 1 gun, 1 landing pad
oh and 1 enterence
i have 2 external platings š
The more, the merrier
So, after the purge, I changed my galaxy. All my shipās components were broken, so I replaced my ship with another one to get some repair kits. Now, I want to repair my main ship, but I lost it. How do I get it back?
if you have unites you can buy a bunch of parts in space stations
they cost like 600k-1m each
Can someone help me out?
So I went to this location and claimed the ship
Then went to a space station to warp to my base on a different planet
Then I used my teleporter in my base to warp back to this location
Now the ship is gone and when I try to summon it I cant cuz its broken
What exactly did you do to replace it? Just summoned another ship?
if you find a sentinel ship and sell it thats 25m
Exactly, I canāt spawn my main one cuz heās broken
can you find where it is
Your broken ship should be summonable on the freighter or anomaly
someone was telling me that but im too bad
How
can someone plz help me get rid of this round thats playing every 30 seconds, somethings bugged, tried restaring, its like vrooom, VROOOOOOOOOOM. its loud, and beyond annoying.
None of them work
otherwise you need to own a frieghter and it will spawn in your freighter where you can repair it
i did
its there?
Is it inside the freighter hangar?
yes
when should i do it anyways
Nope
you can get sentinel ship within the first 20min of gameplay
oh
whats the point of the story quest
cuz thats what i've been doing
Thank you
Hmm thatās strange, if you didnāt sell, exchange or scrap it, it should be thereā¦
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Tnp0JhnQU&t=44s&pp=ygURbm1zIHNlbnRpbmVsIHNoaXA%3D this is the guide i used when i was new
If you are starting No Man's Sky up as a new player or someone returning after years then here are tips to help you get the most out of your playthrough.
These are the big tips that the game doesn't really explain fully, if you want a deeper dive into the start of the game then check out the Beginners Guide 2025 video series.
Beginners Guide ...
super simple
In gonna reload my game again and Iāll see
k
artemis told me to do blind lol
...
i havent digged into the lore yet
You might wanna use some spoiler tags for that
lets just say he is not really dead dead, to fix the experience for you
also first time w an Indium drive, should i be wary
I know.
sowy >.<
but that guy is very clearly new smh
@lyric burrow okay i somehow, after reloading again, found it thank u š
so that's why i was wondering why spoil stuff to ppl
Very nice, glad to have helped š«”
See this post #nms-questions message
i think he found it
surely i dont need a greasy gear becuz it sells for alot
So, is there a best way to farm units in this game? So far I just sell illegal goods to the Geks
And harassing pirates

I've been new to the game since like, a few weeks ago
can someone plz help me get rid of this sound thats playing randomly every like 1-2 mins, somethings bugged, i tried restaring, its like "vrooom, VROOOOOOOOOOM". its loud, and beyond annoying.
Yeah, there's a lot of good methods, check out the faq above and choose what you prefer the most. My personal fav is scraping sentinel ships
Can you be more specific?
uuh i dont think i can, its exactly as i say
The only think I can suggest is doing a verification of installed files (Not sure your platform) then maybe reboot your system.
Some tip's to find archives?
Could you possibly show a video of this happening?
Do you mean the colossal archive buildings?
Yep
if so, I forget which chart can locate them, but it's probably the inhabited outpost ones
I be trying
What purpose are you seeking them for?
Yeah, that's the chart
Is there a save editor where I can download and unlock the expedition rewards without doing the actual expedition itself
Building Capital. Free Skyscraper
Yes, #nms-modding message
both save editors should allow you to do this through their GUI
No
I donāt have the do the expedition right just download and thatās it?
I set up base on a vile brood and it just spawns grub afaik
Yes, you can simply check off expedition rewards individually
Activated stellar metal indicates extreme storms, so possibly
Guys, do you know how can I complete the expedition 21 without exit the planet? I have to analyze animals from the vehicle but I can analyze it again. The same with rocks and plants :(
See the pins in #nms-expedition possibly
Alr ty :3
Do i can build skyscraper with windows and all that stuff? Is there elevators? What is the height limit? Can i increase build distance by placing another base terminal? Can i build in space?
Yes, no, idk, no it expands automatically, kinda but not as a base
Yes, there are windows. No, there are not any elevators, just stairs and short-range teleporters that could provide the illusion of elevators. It's heavily advised against trying to use two bases to make one base
Mine is being a corrupt bastard selling suspicious modules to Geks
as you can expand a single base to 1,000u away from it's origin #nms-commands message
And selling illegal trade for pirates
What if i place another base terminal on 1k u mark?
Then that's a separate base, which could interfere with the first one. Power and resources do not transfer between bases, and you can only have one base uploaded at a time per planet per account, so visitors would only see half of it load quickly and the other half load very slowly, as well as that slower half never loading when you're away
If you're super worried about it, possibly build the base computer very high up, then jump out of your corvette to land on it and claim it
holy sell value š¤
Yes, you can build things on top of your corvette, though this is restricted to corvette stuff like decorations
Omg same
Love jasons vids
So i can't build base terminal on it and after just fly away and keep that base terminal floating?
You can't, as it won't give you the option to stop editing the corvette unless an existing base is nearby
Alright thanks
You could just stretch the build cam up there
exiting and entering build cam very quickly repositions the cage around your current camera position
What is average atmosphere height for planets and is it a bug that sometimes "planetary interference" shows up even when i'm far away from that planet
Alright, i'll try
- Idk, like a few thousand u
- That's normally related to a recent space event I think, but also idk cuz that error should only appear for planet stuff
Also, how can I tell a ship is an npc or a player? Does shooting down sentinel freighters lower my reputation? For some reason the Vy'keen don't like me when I shot down a sentinel freighter.
And do I get a bounty on my head for players for committing piracy on npcs?
When i was leaving the planet and tried to use pulse engine it just showed "planetary interference" untill i landed on my freighter and flew back out
Player ships always show blue trails, and it will be extremely obvious that you're in an active multiplayer session (things other players do are shown in the chat, and a marker is usually above them), also the game doesn't pause when in an active multiplayer instance
That message should only be showing up if you're still in the planet's atmosphere, otherwise it's a bug
Shooting sentinels/sentinel freighters does not impact local race standing
Hm, maybe I accidentally shot their frigates
Alright thanks
And there isn't any player bounty system in No Man's Sky
Whelp, guess it's time for me to pay the korvax a visit
It was most likely a civilian freighter that you mistook for a sentinel capital ship
No, I was locking in on it. Maybe it was because it's next to the sentinel ship
Sentinel Capital Ships look a bit like this, but smaller
There's only 2 ways to summon sentinel interceptors and freighter as i remember so i guess you shot npc freighter or one of their cargo
Check nexus missions for "carrier ai module" or something like that
By using emergency/distress charts, see this post #nms-questions message
Again, follow the guide
You can also install a radar in your exocraft and locate distress signals
it tells you how to avoid those
by ignoring them to not clear their marker
which then makes it so future charts only ping what you actually want, since they cannot mark duplicate structures
Ah I see I only used 4 not 6, thank you
On that topic can a planet have multiple crashed starships?
yeah, sure
Yes, each has many dozens to hundreds of crash sites
Ok thanks
so im doing base archive stuff and it's just sending me coordinates for 2 different planets, just alternating between the two. go to one, access terminal, go back to base, get other planet, go to terminal, go to base, repeat. same two planets every time. Am i doing something wrong?
You're doing the mission right, it does that for 10 cycles and then the mission ends, as the dialogue is over
It is a bit too repetitive, but that's how it works
Well I do have terrible aim-
I know i was hitting a sentinel carrier a couple different times and realized they had cargo pods on them, that does seem to lower your standing if you hit those.
And yes, I know it was a sentinel carrier because it spawned in after the multiple interceptor waves.
Are you sure? I don't recall to ever get my standing lowered by shooting sentinel freighters
what do you guys think of this corvette (first one i've ever made)
It's a start, yeah, and now you can gradually improve it, adding new parts/tech modules. It can be really addicting š
gimme money plz
Go for the Salvaged modules and you won't need any money at all. The only problematic part would be improving its class, as you need a lot of nanites for that, but there are methods to get them efficently
!faq-nanites
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
Yep...
I could possibly test it on abandoned mode but it didn't seem to be a 100% chance for them to have pods.
Was surprised they did.
It might have been a rare chance
Yeah, i suppose it's possible, knowing all the quirks and features of this game. I'm just surprised aswell
Hi
Can you build an exocraft spawner on a corvette?
Not without mods/save editing on PC
You can install Exocraft Summoning Unit in your suit tho, so you'll always have the ability to summon your exocrafts, as long as you got at least one geobay for each of them built somewhere
Ohhh okay! Thank you
Building that one does require completion of a very endgame mission though that comes after the main story #nms-commands message
There are slightly more limited alternatives, like the Exocraft Summoning Station and Exocraft Orbital Materialiser, which both enable this while you're in the same system as them
Yeah, that's true aswell, i'm just saying it's a possibility
before the Summoning Unit, it's surely best to go with the Orbital Materialiser, i was using it a lot before we got the suit tech
If xbox cload saves restored me to a point from 10+ hours ago and I didnt catch it and overwrote my restore point. Am i Screwed?
Kinda, yeah
possibly use the HG cloud system, as it's more reliable and works across platforms
When it detects your current save file is older than the version of that save that it has, it automatically replaces it
There's no free cam for corvette building, except when you edit the main modules, correct?

any chance HG is able to find my data? I submitted a ticket but its justa shot in the dark
Oh wait, does something bad happen to me if I use sentinel or suspicious modules?
I didn't use the suspicious modules because I was afraid I'll get caught by authorities
It's overwritten by the xbox cloud data
will next expedition start right after this ends
We dunno
stay tuned to #nms-announcements
This doesn't happen
their downside is their average quality
they will usually be very low in stats
Ohh. Damn I feel like an idiot not using them
but they have the possibilitiy of having greater stats than S-Class upgrades
Nah, don't worry š they're only scaring you with a flavor text
it's chance, and it's always advised to get S-Class ones first
Where can I send images to showcase my freighter and ship?
i'd swap q-resonator with the x-class module
Swap the Q-Resonator with the illegal upgrade
I have a corvette, but I'm not using it yet until I have the right parts to make a UFO
hmm
Also, swap the base hyperdrive with one of it's upgrades
#nms-media
you wanna maximize adjacency on the things that help you the most
#nms-showcase-corvettes for that one
nice, more dmg ty
Also, move the trails/stuff to maximize the polo figurine's adjacency, like this
Only the polo figurine has a stat that matters
all the others give boost, which is capped very low, you already reach it's max with like 2 pulse upgrades
only have 2 trails
Treat the artemis figurine as another trail
ok
it also just gives boost
The figures have stats????
I never knew that what do they do?
Yes, all of them have a different hidden stat
Ty
the figurines are very weak, barely worth it
the polo figurine being fully adjacent is the most impactful they can be
I donāt even have them and Iāve never used them so I never knew, I thought they were just decoration
I also thought it's barely worth it, do you know the actuall numbers for this trick? I like to play the min-max game sometimes
I've seen like 300 maneuverability increases, but I never truly quantified it

Alright š
what is this i dont understand
i need lots of money for corvette parts
Click the links to see all of the ways of making units
just click the links and you'll get the tutorials for making money
yeah
How do I unlock the 6th race (autophage)? I did the purge and the they who returned but I donāt have them.
The crashed ship farming guide is in there
Unlock an Autophage head option
you can do so at any Autophage Synthesis Terminal
How
surely theres a video guide right
Buy one of the Autophage head options at an Autophage Synthesis Terminal for Void Motes
i'd suggest typing !faq-interceptor in #nms-commands , follow harmonic camp link, at the bottom there's a section on farming multiple sentinel ships using the same camp
No doubt about it
search the YT and you should find one
@quick rivet 1-15 would work
What did you stick the figurine next to?
Have it on a corvette, adds some, but pretty limited on what else I can stick in.
Just maximize it's adjacency
you can do this using any trails, as wel as the Artemis and Tentacled Figurines
I am trying to unlock it
Ill see, might only be a couple things. Thanks.
Any way to fix the issue where you try to skydive but instead get stuck in the upright flailing wildly animation it takes away all the fun of it
Do you have a hab above the landing bay?
That may be the issue
I'd heavily advise reporting this issue to Hello Games, as it affects many players' corvette layouts
!hg
Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
If you build a planetary base in a pirate system are you prevented from teleporting to/from your base to non-pirate space stations
yeah i've experienced it aswell and i don't have a hub above the landing bay. I'm afraid it's just a bug in this release
There are no restrictions related to this, no
No, it just seems to do it arbitrarily
yeah, same. I'll test a few different layouts and report it to HG later
man, it's really unfortunate how buggy those updates tend to be
nope, 1 freighter at any given time. on freighter exchanges, see <#nms-commands message>
You might be too high up
how do i find a monolith, i have the alien scanner on my colossus
See step 2 of this post #nms-commands message
You need the extra exocraft scanner tech to locate monoliths using it I think
I forget which unlock which options
ohhh ok
thx
A class is already pretty good, by the way. It's not easy to get the S, but you can try to grind for that if you want. It's 5% chance to get it in Outlaw systems
thank you :)
what do i do now?
Enter the sequence of glyphs that you wish to travel to
Is the starting race human,something else,or unknown?
Also, place and claim a base computer at this portal so that you can teleport back to it later to reuse it forever
The closest thing to human that exists most likely. Possibly a better question for #nms-lore
Then enter 










, which places you 5,000 LY away from the core of the galaxy you are at
okayy thank you
If this is about the mission "The Purge", see #nms-questions message
naa i completed the main missions
When you get close to the core, you will need to follow the Galactic Core path to it's end, then select the core without using free-look #nms-commands message
yeahh, thank you :)
At this point HG should really rework this mechanic. I've seen so many people being confused by this, me included, back in the days
how do i get sentinal multitools and its good right?
Does a concentration of players on a planet for a mission cause issues? I got hitregād into someoneās ship, and was stuck for several minutes. Once I eventually escaped my traveler spun automatically for the next 40 minutes
Multiplayer is buggy in general. I recommand to always do the missions with MP disabled, except the Nexus missions perhaps
How do I recruit someone?
Hey had a question, was hunting corvette parts and suddenly this appeared. Has anyone experienced this before?
guys are harmonic camps good for money
Yeah it's just a localized anomaly. Just additional hazard to look out for
can someone show me the galaxy list
This was a nexus mission so that tracks
Yeah, if you want a cleaner experience, play with multiplayer disabled
made a new save, just got freighter and doing freighter quest. command fleet room saying i dont have frigate fuel blueprint whilst giving me unlimited 200 ton fuel canisters
how do i fix this glitch i just want to play
i currently have 14 200 ton canisters
how do i get past this nonsense
guys how do i get cadium
do we ever get multi-tools with sights on them? aiming in VR is somewhat challenging without them lol
Red solar systems, spectral class K/M.
I donāt understand what Iām supposed to doā¦.
Fly to the marked location, claim the downed ship, repair Pulse Engine + Launch Thruster and fly it to the space station for scrapping
Where can I scrap it ?
back of the station, left side terminal
Okay I found it thank you
If i don't like the living ship (second one i would own), do i just decline it and ill get another falling host option
guys why is my echo locator not working
in what way is it not working?
it says no harmonic in system
no harmonies detected in current system
Just a guess, but I'm going to say it is not detecting a camp in that system and you need to go to another š
wdym another
You need a system with a dissonant planet that has harmonic camps and sentinel ships.
i went to one
thats the planet where i found the echo locator
If you are running into the issue I did, not all planets that say "dissonant" have what you need (camps). Some are dead planets and other people here can probably explain that more, but I'd say just find another dissonant system. 2nd one I found worked.
ill try that out
Managed to pick up this little nugget of a ship.
mines a breached planet
i need help pls im new and i dont know how to get a hyperdrive
it doesnt let me install it
You should have one in your ship
if i get that ima crash our
i dont even have the option to craft it
t
It might need to be repaired tho
ive looked up videos but none of them help
if you just started, you might still have the tutorial mission to follow that will probably give it to you. (Awakenings, I think)
How do I melee boost?
Install it
it says mission is on another system
but i cant leave the one im on
Okay I did all the they who returned quest and I still didnāt unlock the head or the race
I genuinely donāt know what to do
Interesting. When you are on the Logs page with that mission selected, does it have an option on the bottom to reset it to the current system?
ohhh i found another main quest
my bad
Is there a side of a planet where itās always night and vice versa
Because I think I found it
Itās at the poles
Great! Hopefully that is what you need.
thank you, ive been holding back on this game cuz i didnt know how to fix that, now i can actually play
thanks

???
I have a quest reminder for (The Farmer), but I completed that whole quest chain. Do I need to get a save editor to fix it?
Anyone have any issues with the doors being bugged in the derelect freighter
Me and my friend are in multiplayer and we have tried two derelect freighters tonight. Both times we ahve now come across a bugged, impassable door that won't open. We have tried numerous ways to pass the door
wait is the weekend nexus mission already over?
also i crashed and lost my entire player inventory... no manual saves from before
shouldnt be, this is just my normal save
with like 150 hours, so rip my entire invetory lol
had like 30 starship storage modules
Wow that's actually so awful. The game said f u in the worst way possible
I'm sure if you posted what happened and that you need stuff in here https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/725186274109030421 someone will help you
How do I melee boost?
is there any way to check previous cloud saves if I need to revert extra far?
What device are you on?
pc
cause if i had access to like 5-10 saves before or seomthing i'd probably have one from before the crash
@severe crown
brother
i went to a different solar system with a dissonance
planet
i rescanned with the echo locator and it still says no harmonies in the current system
just keep jumping, it happens every now and then
wait not every solar system has a space station right
yup that's right
warp
all these planets how no copper in them
example?
copper, cadmium, emeril, indium, quartzite, and their activated counterparts
all work
all good
Wait, how do I read these coordinates? THe ones with the weird symbols
Ah, right ok
Wait, like... the teleporter terminal?
third flipping solar system
no there are portals
you unlock them through the main story
well you unlock the glyphs
Oh... I didn't seem to unlock em yet
Wait, which ones? Alone amidst the stars, atlas, or anomaly?
bro why the hell is there a dune worm in my planet
Is it edible?
If it walks, it's edible
syfm
I ate my pet's eggs the moment they hatched
And she's a triceratops
I have one as a pet lol
lots of werid people out here
I also found this bipedal creature, and plan to use its species for slavery :D
vro
It is primitive, and best of all
It has no guns
anyone know whats going on with cross-save atm? trying to set it up and getting "HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start"
Uhh where's that chart thingy which showed what the prefix and suffix of a system meant?
Are discovery services having some issues at the moment or something?
Edit: Ok yep, not just me.
uhhh, is there a faster way to get nanites from cronus?

Once I completed the expedition, I realized several of the Colossus Upgrades customizations were not unlocked. In order to unlock the: Widescreen Cabin, Furnace Module, Off-Road Wheels, Tracked Treads, Caterpiller Track and Superalistic Wheels what do I do and must I do it during the expedition?
Hello, I hope I'm writing to the right chat. I've been searching for "sac venom" lately, but unfortunately, I haven't been successful. Are there any guidelines or simplified options for finding it? There's no information available in my native languageš
Achieve the titles
1/3rd of all planets/moons have Sac Venom as their "3 star resource", the other 2/3 have Curious Deposits and Metal "Fingers". Basically just explore any planet's surface until you find any of those, and if it's something that isn't Sac Venom then move on to a different planet as you won't find Sac Venom on that one
So that's all done outside of the expedition I assume. Are any of the Colossus Upgrades which you get in the expedition not achievable if you don't do the expedition? The reason I ask is that I'm not going to have time to do the expedition on my PS4 account and switch and might like to have those customizations there.
Do you need help relating to this video?
(This channel is not permitted for self promotion, and sending the same thing in a bunch of channels without context may trip our spam filter)
You should have them unlocked on all platforms if you use cross-save. Once you earn a title, it should unlock the colossus option account-wide
oh good deal, i was wondering how i was going to do the Permadeath Achieve twice........ now to just wait till the issue with the cross-save website is fixed
Oh, achievements are not shared across cross-save, but at least the in-game titles for earning some of them is
ohhhhhhhh got it
are there any good save management tools for PC? planning to do all the old expeditions and it recommended backing up my saves.

Wow, you can actually unofficially make a corvette with vehicle and ship bays?
Hey, anybody got some geodite or Something pricey so i can sell?
guys i got the exo radar but i cant make it
Look for what materials you need
i got all the mats
Maybe you need to crafting in Something else and not inventory yk
but it wont show in the technology slot
Do you have the blueprint unlocked?
yep
Try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades
Which exocraft are you trying to install it on
huh
Thank you kind sir or woman
im trying to install the exocraft radar on my starship
It's not starship technology, so you cannot
It's technology meant for an exocraft; a land vehicle
oh
You can unlock the exocraft geobay blueprints from the construction research station
is there another way i can find a monolith
Use alien charts #nms-commands message
(See step 2)
I linked the command, I already typed it in
The link in my message takes you to the information I'm referring to
Again, you can unlock the blueprints for their Geobays at the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly
i dont see it
They are on page 4
wow didnt even know there're pages to that
If I changed my crafting to free for one recipe would it disable achievements?
Thereās this one recipe that is literally going to take me hours
no, doesn't work like that in this game
So itās not like Bethesda lol ššš
Difficulty options don't modify your ability to earn achievements (besides the two survival and permadeath ones)
Which the latter unlocks both and doesn't even let you set options in a way that disables it
even in Bethesda games the modders fixed that within the first week of every game being out
How to sell multi tools ?
we don't sell multi-tools, you can scrap them at Space Anomaly
there's a decomissioning station near Iteration: Tethys
Take out any module u want to keep before scraping mt
what is this?
waste items
some planets will have them scattered on the surface
you can use your colossus to transport them to processing facilities to recycle them and get some rewards
oh i havnt got that yet
and you can make glass from 40 freesing crystals too (you need the recipe)
U need haz mat gloves to pick up frost crystals
I don't know how to build a good corvette at allllll
Practice , practice , practice ,
Where do i get like a big hub for it
Cause i cant see it
I just did 3 normal ones next to eachother
But it looks bad
Dayum why do i gotta trade for the good thingsš
There are only habs and walkways, there aren't any larger interior modules
i think they're in advanced corvette parts (i've like 1 billion units and i can't still afford one)
You also must trade parts that you salvage #nms-questions message
i know but what should i trade?
Corvette parts that you salvage from salvage containers, on salvageable scrap worlds
Boi
Modules that you salvage from these are compatible with trading for other advanced modules
Modules that are bought with Units are not compatible with trading
So i need to find things on other planets to get that
To get the full selection of corvette modules, yes
Btw a freighter and many ships just teleported to my solar system
Are they from a player?
does anyone know what these are?
ohh thank you
That is a Boundary Failure
You can see this name by using your Analysis Visor on it
It has a terminal to it's side that details weird stuff
thanks
If you are not in a group, no.
It would be insanely obvious if that was the case though
Freighters just warp in around you in space
Is a Hex Core useful at all
Not really
Yeah there's like 2 here
rip
Yes
You can even have up to 3 of each reactor type and have them become functional tech
can you have 3? i can have only two
You can have up to 3 of each count as tech
Idk what im building here but im doing it
The cockpit counts as a Medusa reactor
You are able to build as many as you wish, but only the first 3 will register as tech
Which means you could build 3 Medusa reactors before the cockpit and have them all count instead of a cockpit
This building thing hard af
and how do i get quarzite?
From nearly any planet in purple systems, which are locked behind an endgame mission #nms-commands message
so not from only extreme weather planets?
You will never find non-activated stellar metal on extreme worlds
and can i turn quarzite to the activated version?
hey you seem to know everything on this game.
I learning about pets, do bigger pets move faster?
I'm interested in fly mounts
You can, though it would be very complicated, requiring you to refine Quartzite + Methane + Either Crystallised Helium (Gas Giant mineral) or Lithium (Waterworld mineral)
With flying companions, yes
especially the large, flying beetles
oh
i think i prefer searching for extreme planets
You would save a ton of time just going to any extreme world in a purple system
1/3 of all worlds in purple systems are extreme
excluding dead/weird worlds which are always non-extreme, and gas giants which are always extreme
i'm gonna search for one of them, thank you
Got two questions regarding the end(?) of the main questline:
- ||Got the star seed equipped. Do I need to do something particular to activate it? Or is it at/post game thing?||
- ||Is it safe to end it? I pressume somehow I'll keep my progress, my bases and such, but wanna make sure.||
I got a chunky ahh corvette
- Star Seed is from The Atlas Path, which is not the main story. It just gives 1 core health.
- There is never any point in NMS where progress is lost (at least on purpose). At worst, choosing to ||Reset the Simulation|| at the end of The Artemis Path (main story) will ||damage all currently installed exosuit, primary starship and primary multi-tool technology||
Currently there's a bug where that choice also resets all space station teleport entries, this is not intended.
Oh boy, that dont sound like a fun bug.
You could get around this by just setting up bases where you have places you wanna go back to
to clarify, this only affects the "Space Stations" tab of the teleport menu. All bases are safe and can be teleported to no matter what
But alright, thanks for the info. More confident to end the story now
At msot i'll prolly only lose the couple pirate stations I've had
Got bases on most important places besides that
i found an extreme condition planet in (it seems) a purple system
but in a scan of the planet i did't find the activated quarzite
is it normal?
In the louvre how come my ss says modded?
All of them have activated quartzite.
If it doesn't it ain't extreme or it ain't a purple system
Go to the galaxy map, what is the first character of it's stellar class?
Purple systems exclusively have theirs start with X and Y
All that don't start with X or Y are not purple
mine starts with K
That is because it cannot be created in-game without the use of advanced mods/save editing.
That's a red system
I took it on ps5?
So you built the corvette?
Or is it referring to the corvette
Yes, it's referring to the corvette. Again, it's fully impossible to make one like that without external tools
With mods/external tools, or without?
Kk I gotcha, I made it with external tools, I thought it meant edited or modded photo lol
and is there a specific part of the galaxy where i can find them?
or it's just random?
The server owners just don't want to set impossible expectations for players who don't have access to tools like that
Any.
They're everywhere, as long as you've completed the mission that populates them on the galaxy map #nms-commands message
Again, you will never see one before this mission is reached
ohh that explains many thinks
Purple systems are not rare at all, they exist primarily between the regular regions of stars, in the voids of space
what mission do i have to complete?
The autophage introduction mission "They Who Returned", as well as The Atlas Path. Click this link --> #nms-commands message to see how to reach that
oh ok
to build the scanner (for that mission) i need crazy mold
where can i find it?
Either refine Residual Goop/Viscous Fluids/Living Slime into it, refine Atlantideum and Pugneum together to make it, or find Curious Deposits on planets that don't have Sac Venom or Metal "Fingers"
These "3 star resources" have this icon on the analysis visor/exocraft scanner
thankss
I lost my multi-tool from an expedition. I just picked up another one from the tower, and my staff disappeared. I googled it and found out the limit is 5. Is there any way to roll back the progress of the items I got during the expedition in this save? I can't get a new one.
The limit on Multi-Tools is 6. If you selected to exchange your current one for that other multi-tool, then your previous one is gone
Also if you can't find it in your Multi-Tool swap list or your Multi-Tool Archive, accessible via any Weapon Rack base object
Weapon Rack can restore deleted?
No, it cannot
It's just another place where your own multi-tools can be stored, though this can only be done manually
maybe i made a mistake, i had 6 and last one that i used
What are all the paradise worlds?
There are trillions, what do you mean by "all"?
"Paradise Planet/Moon" is a biome name given to any lush world that has both No Storms and Low Sentinel Activity (infested/relic worlds cannot get this, On-Foot Combat difficulty option modifies sentinel activity)
no i mean the different naming for them
There's only one name for them, Paradise Planet/Moon. Do you mean lush worlds in general, which get the paradise name when meeting the critera above? If so, see #nms-commands message
Lush is the name of the overall biome that always has Star Bulb/Paraffinium, grass everywhere and no passive hazard
How come my first sentinel interceptor had over 100k on infra-knife, but the new has bearly 60k? 
The SC layout and sloted pieces are same. Even tech layout around them, remains same.
Do you have screenshots of both of their layouts?
I got the reply in #no-mans-sky . It was difficulty setting option š¤¦āāļø
where do i take some faecilium?
you need animals with creature pellets and collect their droppings
alternatively you can try refining some mordite
Note that there is a bug currently where creatures never poop
how high mountains can get?
Very high, on worlds far away from the space station or in purple systems at least
yeah yesterday i found a planet with some very higm mountains
alright thanks
also i there any benefits from planets with high mountains?
alright
How to get Void Motes ?
Do missions for individual Autophage units
The offering assistance thing or ?
Yes, that.
I need more standing for that ..
Finish the mission "They Who Returned" then
Alright
If I place a custom marker will it stay there ?
What, like using the Analysis Visor?
No, it will disappear upon next load
You will want to use a Save Beacon or claimed Base Computer instead
the latter allows teleportation to the destination
Alright, but I do need to put a teleport at the base computer or ?
i found pirate dreadnought in 2 star system instead of pirate system, is that normal?
I'm trying to farm for freighter modules from destroying the pirate dreadnought.
The current dread I'm destroying, keeps to drop same 3
upgrades: Hyperdrive, Expedition Trade and Expedition Efficiency.
I'm assuming I need to search for different pirate dread, for different drops or should I keep going with this one?
They can be found in all conflict tiers, with escalating chance per higher conflict
with Outlaw Systems always having them (when the player qualifies)
alright thanks
Pirate Dreadnought presence is not determined by economy tier
Hey all, I just finished the main story, I think?
All of them drop all types, no need to use a different one
Nice, thanks 
I chose the green star, and I think im in the galaxy Eissentam?
That wasn't a star, that's a Galaxy
and yes, choosing that while in galaxies 1-9 will bring you to Eissentam Galaxy, the first lush galaxy
But in my quest log, I still see the atlas path, and it says locate an atlas interface.
Is that normal?
You can check which Galaxy you're in atm, by opening Galaxy Map and looking at top left.
Yes, you can continue doing The Atlas Path after the main story is completed, they are uncorrelated
doing one before the other doesn't block out the other
So you could go to the atlas interface in say galaxy 7, and go back to Eissentam?
via the green galaxy portal
Oh okay, so I just haven't finished the Atlas Path quest then?
Via the ending of the main story, yes. Not outside of it though, that interaction is special to the main story
reaching the galactic center manually just takes you to the next galaxy in the list
Does it matter I went to Eissentam before doing the Atlas Path ending?
Oh so Eissentam isn't even galaxy 2, it's 10. damn
No. Atlas Interfaces are in all galaxies, and even if the mission bugs out you can still teleport back to the previous galaxy
Is it true Eissentam is the 2nd most populated after euclid?
Gotcha
Most likely, due to ease of reaching it and general allure
One of the featured bases being in Eissentam heavily contributes to this
Wait so Euclid doesn't even have normal planet distribution?
Euclid Galaxy is a normal galaxy, so it has normal biome chances in it's yellow stars
Biome chances in non-yellow stars are unaffected
Ah right I see it's the // that is the legend
There's also the worlds at the edge of systems added in the Origins update, which use slightly different chances
Why are the different galaxies different colours outside of the legend colours?
Also, harsh galaxies just use the normal chances, but have more extreme storms/aggressive sentinels
Core color
each galaxy has a differently colored core
What does that affect?
The vibe of the galaxy map
which also affects the game intro sequence when loading your save
that's it
Not really, they're on most worlds that have activated stellar metals
As in, cadmium, emeril, etc?
Yes, those are stellar metals
The chances for worlds to be extreme is determined by the star color
They cannot be seen or visited until the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" is reached/completed #nms-commands message
Many features are entirely unique to them https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems
Okay cool, im gonna just finish the story before I figure out more
im sad going to Eissentam messed up all my equipment though :(
It would happen anyway even if you stayed in Euclid. That's part of the story 
No it wouldn't
I stayed and had got everything broken.
Choosing to ||refuse to reset the simulation|| results in 0 technology damage, as well as a different mission reading for the end
well then you didn't stay, or there's a new bug
Where you go when you choose purple star? 
By driving around in an exocraft to them on an extreme world, yes
The Exocraft Scanner can mark them around you
sick!
i havent touched exo craft yet]
i see there is a starship landing pad, is there a corvette one?
Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
as corvette-class starships are a recent addition to No Man's Sky
https://www.nomanssky.com/voyagers-update/
Can freighters warp/summon between galaxies?
Yes
you can always summon them to your current position using the quick menu while in space or on a planet
sweet
this never requires fuel and can be done from an infinite distance
any suggestions on what to build inside my corvette?
i got the mission board + medipod, but the latter doesn't do anything
it's really up to you what you find most useful
i put the nutrient processor in mine for convenience
yeah fair enough
I didn't know what to do with my freighter either
so I just filled it up with nip nip
Does anyone know if any of the movement modules increase walking/sprinting speed?
They do not.
The only stat they can get related to sprinting is Sprint Distance, which just increases the size of the sprint meter
oh okie
It may be ideal to learn about Melee Boosting, which can propel you incredibly fast while on planets
uhhh I accidentally detached my camera from ship controls, how do i fix that?
Should be in Options > Control, to switch between tethered and untethered flight
if you mean that your head is looking around the cockpit, release the Alt key
hello guys, Ive been playing for about 7 hours for the first time, and Im wondering if the discovery services are tied behind main questline progression. Since I started it says at the discoveries tab "You have lost connection to online discovery services"
They aren't locked behind anything, this may be due to your internet connection or some sort of general outage
as I've seen others recently report similar issues
How gas giants look like from space and when you stand on them?
What's this icon?
Btw thank you for helping me with the modding yesterday I now have every expedition rewards from 1 to 22 thanks
If you mean in visor first one is to scan things while second is to find objectives for missions
yo how do i get radon i found a radioactive planet and idk now what
One of your frigate expeditions you sent out earlier
What are expedition rewards?
Ah, where one of my frigates is currently at?
Woah, which storyline i need to do for this?
I see, thanks
#nms-questions message Either use Atmosphere Harvesters (slow, must babysit) or gas extractors (must be placed atop special hotspots but work forever even when you're offline)
and how to find a hotspot?
Alright thanks
Can oxygen be collected this way?
#nms-expedition message Mainly a special set of exosuit customisation options, as well as three exclusive colossus customisation options
Gotcha, thanks
Yes, oxygen hotspots are on all planets
alongside the biome gas
In exosuit section
No, in the Multi-Tool section
ok ok last question best way to get ships for ur frighter?
sick, so I can actually automate a lot more than I thought.
Oh, my bad
Frigates? Just fly up to fleets and hire them
The ones that you can hire will have green icons when approached
i mean i got one but i need ships to go on expeditions
frigates are the ships that go on missions for the freighter
mb then and where to find the fleetes?
You can see freighter fleets near you by looking for purple squares on the ship holographic map in first person, wealthier star systems will have them spawn more frequently and give their stuff a higher average class
in space
I've just found them randomly flying in space
When you fly near they try to communicate with you
Frigates- just fly around and buy them near other freighter
Raider frigates- near pirate dreadnought, available to buy after defeating pirate dreadnought
Squadron- just on space station or anywhere where ships can land(not on the ground of planet though)
How do frigates and raider frigates differ?
ok so i should just fly randomly and look for them?
Raider frigates look different and just fancy name for combat frigate as i know
i also think they are just a bunch of ships right?
sweet
Yes
sorry but I don't think this is what I am talking about
its about this, on the left corner
A bunch of big ships but not all buy able, only with green icon and dollar sign
Yes, this indicates that there could be some sort of outage, either on your end or on Hello Games' end
kk thx
as its showing this since I have started playing probably its on my end, do you know what could be the cause of this?
Possibly check these #nms-questions message though this is for multiplayer, which is a different service than the discovery services
ok thanks, gonna take a look
Iāve set myself a challenge of building a corvette without buying or trading in parts. Can you get cockpits and habitats from Salvage Containers (and their casings?)
Yes, all modules are available from salvage containers.
All except for the community expedition exclusive ones of course, as well as a few unobtainable modules
these greyed out ones, to be specific about the latter part
Cool. TY. Been at it a while, must just be unlucky. Iāll keep at it.
Idk about it
Can i walk through joints or they work just like a block?
They do not have interiors.
Only Habs and Walkways have interiors that can be snapped together and traversed inside of
Walkways?
Ooo thats what i need
Can i make flames that come out of engine on corvette bigger?
No
At best, use different engines
or possibly different starship trails, but those don't modify the flame/engine effect, only the trail
Alright thanks
You can only customise your trails, and i think the one that came with Iron Vulture has the best flaming effect
can i stack electromagnetic generators in one hotspot?
Yes, endlessly
yessssssss, thx
it's called Sputtering Starship Trail. Check it out. It was given as a reward of Blighted expedition and also comes pre-installed in the Vulture, which comes from expedition 13 - Adrift. If you're on a PC, you can re-run those expeditions or modify your save file to get them
and they don't have diminishing returns, unlike gas/mineral extractors
how do gas extractors and atmosphere harvesters differ?
Atmosphere Harvesters work anywhere, and extract the biome gas very slowly, and only while the player is nearby
they can also be placed outside of a base
which is best for oxygen?
are will the gas/mineral extractors eventually need to be moved?
Gas Extractors only work when placed atop special invisible hotspots that can only be located using a Survey Device, and they can only be built within the bounds of a base and need to be powered. They can be hooked up to Supply Depots to have tons of storage, and work while away
Both work forever, but atmo harvesters need recharging
im assuming survey device is from anomaly?
right, so essentially infinite resources once setup?
Gas Extractors are basically what you want
base-building question, what's a good way to make pillars for "structural support"?
what's the most expensive item atm?
Stasis Devices/Fusion Ignitors
both are only obtained via crafting
If you're afraid about physics, don't be. Your pillars will serve only as a decoration, there's no need for structural support in this game
Yes, i know. That's why i put it in quote marks
what is the purpose of the base construction terminal, weapons, science, etc?
in practice they wont do much, but I dont want a very physics-defiant looking base
To interact with those NPCs, and progress their missions or do their daily missions once those are done
What do they give?
And can those NPCs be put on a freighter instead?
From their missions, lots of blueprints and introductions to advanced mechanics like crafting blueprints, farming, exocraft etc
right so its worth doing then
from the daily stuff, just nanites or stuff to sell for units, the weapon one offers a multi-tool every day too
do some of them cross over?
eg. my korvax is asking for stuff to make microprocessor and advanced refiner blueprints
but i already have them
well you will still need to follow the steps they describe to progress them
well, I have microprocessor not adv refiner
Huh, interesting
gotcha
Well depends what you're building then, you can use this Cuboid Room Foundation, for example. People at #nms-base-building will have some creative ideas for you
If I break and rebuild the existing terminals in a new base, do I need to rehire them and stuff?
Ah, that's a good channel to check, thanks
Just interact with the terminal to summon them at that one
no need to even remove the previous one
Sweet
I just want to remove the old one since im moving galaxy
don't need my old base for anything but a teleporter
Can you pretty much do everything in a freighter base that you can do in a planet one?
Bar like resource harvesting and stuff?
Yes, except for that and having your exocraft geobays at of course, but those don't even need a base
Yes, they are very difficult to acquire in large quantities #nms-questions message
One of a very few items in the game which i advise to just duplicate and save yourself a truble.
Is that hard to do?
Nope. All you need is two portable refiners. Place one on the ground, put the frigate module inside, and then try to put the other refiner in a way to overlap the first one as closely as possible.
Then just pick up both of them, and your original item should be duplicated
Gotcha okay
Also, can I upgrade my freighter class?
Like how frigates upgrade after so many missions
Nope, you can only find a natural higher class, sadly
yeah if you want to change your freighter, your frigates will transfer, same as the base layout. I believe that you only need to remove your tech modules and inventory, before transfering, otherwise you'll lose it
But confirm that with Grouch, as i'm not sure
Yes, everything transfers besides the core cargo/tech inventories #nms-questions message
storage containers also """transfer""" (they weren't tied to the freighter in the first place)
Awesome!
Yeah, what i meant was the main cargo, should have specified that
What's a Boundary Failure? Seems to be a building
Just a big structure that appears on weird and infested worlds, it has a terminal on one of it's sides
Does it do something?
It displays dialogue, that is all
It's just the standard "error" icon on technological stuff in NMS I believe
