Interesting

[gray shoal]

U can find few screens in game that have "void" writen on them in nms txt

[leaden creek]

Are sentinal ships technically corvettes or starships?

[stuck berry]

Both Sentinel Interceptors and Corvettes are types of starships.

Starships are the ships that the player can use as their main ship, to fly around and land on planets

[leaden creek]

No what i mean is if i repaired a sentinal ship, could i add to it using a corvette statiom

[leaden creek]

Okay cool

[stuck berry]

Only corvette-class starships support the corvette building system

Starships fundamentally cannot be converted from one type to another

[vernal veldt]

I'm assembling my first ever corvette, how do I get money quick for certain parts?

Though note that most corvette modules can only be acquired via collecting them (or trading for them using other collected modules at the workshop), of which the main way is to mine Salvage Containers on worlds that list Salvageable Scrap as a resource

[vernal veldt]

thank you

so much

[nimble wraith]

Assuming I have built the blueprints needing it, is there any reason to have a Crystallized Helium mining farm?

[analog scroll]

Because you want to

It refines directly to ferrite dust, though there are better ways to get that

[nimble wraith]

Gotcha, I am making some farms for stasis devices, and could use the metal plating I used on my helium farm, so thinking I will disassemble this and use for others

[analog scroll]

I need to redo my stasis farm base at some point, but I'm lazy

[nimble wraith]

I just started a few days ago, it can be frustrating finding the different deposits within the distance of others, but I am making good progress. Haven't even started the plants yet. Will make a monster biodome farm for them all I am thinking

[analog scroll]

The deposits don't have to be super close. They can be within 2000U of each other and still be usable

[nimble wraith]

I thought it was 1000u, I swear I had one just over and I couldn't connect it

[wicked flare]

Question : returning player here those corvette pieces from last expedition looks super cool do they ever come back ?

[stuck berry]

It's a 1,000u radius from the original base computer claim position

[analog scroll]

1000U radius. 2000U diameter

[stuck berry]

Not normally, no. At best, you can get them from other players who have the blueprint to make more of them (ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades for the Aeron Corvette Modules). There are also ways to obtain prior community expedition rewards on PC via unofficial means #nms-questions message

[wicked flare]

Ah I get ya ty

[analog scroll]

They have already run that expedition twice. It's not common for them to run expeditions 3 times (or more), but it can happen or they can modify an expedition and give those rewards. Trades, mods, or just running the old expedition if on PC are going to be the best ways, though

[wicked flare]

Ah so they have reran it ok legit first expedition I ever seen was 21 and just completed it so super cool to see

[reef mirage]

How do i make the corvette my primary ship

[analog scroll]

Get in it

[reef mirage]

I am in it

[analog scroll]

Then it's your primary ship

[reef mirage]

Weird

[charred vector]

Or summon it

[analog scroll]

Unless you mean the ship that gets summoned when you scrap another ship

In which case, it needs to be ship slot 0, which is your starter ship or whatever you replaced it with

[charred vector]

Sit in the cockpit.

[reef mirage]

Yeah i think that, how do i do it

[analog scroll]

Replace your starter ship with your corvette. Exchange, not add to collection

#nms-legacy-ships message

[reef mirage]

Cant find anything

[analog scroll]

Click on the link, it goes directly to a post outlining the process for changing your primary ship that appears after you scrap

Along with all of the associated warnings

[reef mirage]

Changing default spawn after scrap?

[analog scroll]

That's what you asked about #nms-questions message

[reef mirage]

Cause i just kinda got a huge starwars ship and yeah

[limber kayak]

Is there a point on every planet where it’s always night

[stuck berry]

No

[swift sand]

there are areas on planets called eternal twilight areas, where it's always sunset/sunrise - but afaik no areas where it's always night or always day

[limber kayak]

We’re are they

[swift sand]

it depends from planet to planet, and there's no automated way to find them

[soft wolf]

Can you keep reloading to get a S class dreadnought?

[swift sand]

drop chances depend on system economy tier; outlaw systems for example, have 85% for C class and 5% for each of the other classes

[soft wolf]

Alr thanks, so the better the economy the better chances of it being a higher class?

[swift sand]

if you were looking solely for the s-class drop, then outlaw would be best; if you didnt mind to take an a-class or even a b-class, then t3 eco would be better

[soft wolf]

Alr fs thanks, they also spawn in every system right? bc rn im doing a mission called starbirth I think it has something to do with the alien ship

[swift sand]

@soft wolf this applies to pretty much everything, from ships to mts to freighters and frigates, except exotic ship type that are always s-class, and the same drop chance

[weak cloud]

Wasn't there an expedition reward ship that can hover in place? I know that corvettes and sentinel ships can.

[swift sand]

pirate dreadnought has a couple requirements before it can start spawning, but after that, when you meet the requirements to force trigger a rescue battle event, all outlaw systems will use pirate freighter event type. it is unrelated to the living ship quest

[soft wolf]

Oh Alr fs

Appreciate it

[swift sand]

starborn runner and iron vulture can hover

[weak cloud]

Thanks!

[swift sand]

@soft wolf that said, some t3 conflict and some outlaw systems have a property that forces a pirate freighter rescue battle on every warp in, if its spawn requirements have been met

[limber kayak]

Is this the twilight zone

[swift sand]

twilight areas have solar panels output 25kps at all times, the entire 30min of a usual day+night cycle

so the way to confirm is to build and claim a base comp, a solar panel, and check its output according to time of day: if it's day or night, and therefore not an eternal twilight area, it'd be generating either 50 or 0 kps.

[last gust]

is it better to build a base near gas or mineral or power hotspot?

[analog scroll]

If you need all 3, build where you can reach all 3

Base area can be expanded from the default 300U radius to a 1000U radius

[frail turret]

Would anyone know why i can't see the weekend quicksilver mission at the anomaly? I checked in yesterday, started the mission but had to quit the game before finishing it. Since that point i can't see it at the anomaly so that i can restart it. I can do other anomaly missions without any issues though..

[analog scroll]

Are you connected to Online Discovery Services?

[frail turret]

I think i am, but let me check

Hey... I had to complaint for it to come back... 🤣

Thank you for replying @analog scroll

[spring whale]

Are there more of these with more more lore? And is there any other use than trading?

[signal cedar]

yes there are more

no use other than collectibles

or selling like any other item

[spring whale]

Ok thanks.

Are there more items like this with different story bits as well? And if so, any hint as to where to start looking?

[blazing tusk]

Iirc, there are 5 of the Folios and then one more special item at the end

[spring whale]

If i find all 5?

[wheat cove]

How do I scan an invisible creature? There's no "body" to target 🤔

[analog scroll]

You don't?

[gleaming yarrow]

invisible?
what do you mean?

[wheat cove]

There's no model, just a red dot marking it's position

[gleaming yarrow]

probably is behind that think in front of u

[analog scroll]

I don't see a red dot. Get closer to it?

[wheat cove]

I'm 20u from it, the red dot is right next to the crosshairs

[analog scroll]

Then @gleaming yarrow is likely correct, it's behind whatever that is in front of you

[gleaming yarrow]

yeah try do destroy it

[wheat cove]

it's not, I've swum "through" it a few times

[gleaming yarrow]

maybe is one of that animals that stay under the ground

once i find one in a planet, i tried do destroy the ground where it was and it attacked me

[wheat cove]

It's underwater, and the dot is a long way off the floor, but I'll give it ago

[gleaming yarrow]

you're right
maybe is just a bug

[rare orbit]

is there a quicksilver mission every weekend?

[signal cedar]

yes, in addition to daily QS missions

[gleaming yarrow]

about them, is possible to do them in offline mode?
i tried 3 times but at the end of the missions my game always crashed

[analog scroll]

You can do them solo, but you have to be connected to ODS for them to be available at all

[gleaming yarrow]

okk thanks

[spring whale]

I always do them solo. This ones particularly easy.

[gleaming yarrow]

yeah it's very easy but you must have a lot of patience

anyway... nice photo

[spring whale]

I just used an auto feeder, and went afk, Took 15 minutes

Thanks

[trim crest]

i found a cool living ship system, what chat can i show it in?

[trim crest]

ok, thx

[limber kayak]

Is it possible to delete a planet by mining it

[bitter crypt]

No

[tropic ginkgo]

1. you'll hit bedrock, which can't be mined
2. planets are large, VERY large

[storm helm]

i jus came back to the game, any way i can do the expidition after the two days pass, and can i do older expiditions?

[urban citrus]

How do I make this

Do this

The wings don't even expand out anymore

[potent coral]

What’s this mean?

[potent coral]

Relog and it should work (or keep taking off until it does)

[urban citrus]

Alright thanks

And what about the purple?

[swift sand]

• exp21 will be rerun later this year
• if you're on pc, you could run expeditions offline - check pinned post in #nms-modding

[swift sand]

try to save+reload. what mission type were you trying to take?

[storm helm]

but is it true i still get the reqards to my account? even tough its an offline mod?

[swift sand]

sorry, the purple?

[swift sand]

yep

[storm helm]

rewards*

[storm helm]

alr thanks man

[urban citrus]

The glowy stuff in the second picture

[swift sand]

you mean the color of the sail?

[urban citrus]

Yea

Hpw do I make it sail

[swift sand]

hmm the sails should pop out automatically when you're in flight, in space they should at least

[urban citrus]

Alright

[teal storm]

Where do I sell unused techs in the anomaly at the end of the expedition?

[urban citrus]

Am I able to trade multiple ships in for 1???

[potent coral]

A quicksilver one for activated emeril

[swift sand]

you could sell upgrade modules/packaged tech to Ares npc, but if you dont, and you started expedition character from anomaly, they'll be auto sold for nanites

[swift sand]

nope

[swift sand]

but what mission type was it - was it a npc stranded pilot? do you remember its title? but no worries if you dont

[urban citrus]

Fuck ofc not

[swift sand]

you could scrap the ships you dont want, sell off the items for units, then put that to buy a new ship - but no way to like multi select ships and combine them into a single trade

[urban citrus]

Ohhhh ok

How do I see my other ships without a freight?

[swift sand]

you can on foot quick menu/summon/other ships. if they're in working condition and have launch thruster fuel, can be summoned at the space station or anomaly too. if they arent', then goto a planet base of yours, save+reload there, then try summoning the damaged ship again

[urban citrus]

Now how do I scrap?

[swift sand]

equip ship, goto space station, in the back, facing fabricator, on your left, the starship outfitting terminal - scrap for units

[urban citrus]

Im at one of these little airport things

[swift sand]

ah, you'll need to go to the space station. no way to scrap ships at a trade outpost

[urban citrus]

Oh

[drowsy venture]

Somehow i got my corvette on a starship landing pad

am i crazy or is https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save having issues

[indigo fox]

How does one go into third person while in the ship?

[balmy adder]

Could be because servers are down

[warm fox]

same way you summon freigter or anomaly. its under the gear icon

down on d-pad for controller, all the way on the lefthand side iirc

[indigo fox]

found it found it tyvm @warm fox

[swift sand]

yeah, seems that Gunter (our bot) has also been reporting connectivity woes to servers, so it's quite likely that they're having some trouble atm

[warm fox]

yea it was just maddening because alot of the traditional places i would see a report for issues like that i cant find it.

[shell veldt]

why cant i join featured

[swift sand]

we usually just wait it out a few days and it usually sorts itself out. plus, weekend day

[swift sand]

sounds like you're not connected to online discovery services server, that's why they'd not be available. ( @warm fox just fwiw, see? hitting other parts of the game too)

it's been intermittent all day

[severe crown]

Is anyone having connection issues outsode of NMS as well? It has been a very strange day here. ISP says all is fine, but sometimes things load slowly, or freeze up. No significant packet loss. It is like DNS is having a minor freakout.

[warm fox]

yea i tried it like 12 hours ago so i was just hoping the company had a statement, but it is still technically an experimental feature right?

[tiny vortex]

ok, a tip for people that are just scrapping their first spaceships for parts:

when you scrap an Explorer type, LEFT WING means from YOUR PERSPECTIVE FROM INSIDE THE COCKPIT, not from the front like when you assemble them................

got the one i hated and destroyed the one i wanted...... THANKS SEAN

[swift sand]

i'm on cloudflare, europe; working good here - wait no, sorry i changed, i'm on quad9

[swift sand]

cross saving has been out of beta for quite a while - it's just the servers, not the functionality that's broken

[twilit pulsar]

Has anyone noticed the finesse in control on PS5 seems to have disappeared in the last week or so? Was there an update?

It's now quite hard to get the camera on something with the controller. It plays now like it does when I'm using remote play where the control can be kind of "stiff".

[swift sand]

no, last update was last week of february i think

[twilit pulsar]

So weird.

[swift sand]

hmm, like there's some input latency or something?

[twilit pulsar]

More like the camera on PS5 had a very subtle but helpful way of moving that made it easy to target something.

But maybe that's latency. I'm not sure.

Curious if anyone else notices it.

[swift sand]

sorry not on ps5 so unable to confirm

[jade dune]

I'm doing Patterns in Time, I'm stuck on Speak to a Gek Cartographer. I've looked it up and says you must do two "Gek" missions. I have done multiple now. Still that shitty Gek Cartographer won't let me continue. :*(

[swift sand]

1. might be that it wants the specific cartographer marked by the mission
2. see the next post: mission has to reward +gek standing, not just any mission from a gek mission board agent

[tulip dust]

Patterns in Time - Gek mission contracts

[fallen breach]

how do i get the flatbed upgrade for the colossus outside of the expedition? ive already completed the expedition on this save

[swift sand]

first, if you havent already, try to save+restart game completely. if still not unlocked, just go and unlock grav coil from anomaly mt research npc, install it, and follow tutorial mission/go process 1 waste to unlock it

[fallen breach]

thank you, ill ask again if it dont work for some reason lol

[swift sand]

yep, np, standing by

[amber grove]

what is the point of dyson lens

i found it randomly

[quartz minnow]

Is there a cap for friends you can have?

[jade dune]

I've been doing + Gek standing missions and they are highlighted in green. Usually they are +1 sometimes +2. I've been going to the same guy all the time.

[swift sand]

if you shoot it, it will trigger a wanted level 5, and if destroyed, drops nanites

[amber grove]

everything is just going through it

[swift sand]

3. are you playing solo or with friends?
4. can you 4a) post a screenshot of your mission tooltip lower right of the screen (can be force cycled, spam press H or dpad left) when you're playing and 4b) post a screenshot of the galaxy map after opening it and it finishes its little zoom in animation

[swift sand]

weird, sounds like it's bugged then. just move on i guess

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of, i've never been concerned with it and just add people when i have to, never had a problem

[jade dune]

Playing Solo,

[swift sand]

when you opened the galaxy map, was patterns in time selected, or was it one of the station missions you picked up? 5) can you go and interact with the gek mission board agent, then screenshot please

[jade dune]

when you opened the galaxy map, was patterns in time selected, or was it one of the station missions you picked up? - I don't know what you mean by this, I'm sorry.

[swift sand]

in the mission log, did you have patterns in time mission selected, or one of the secondary missions? that said, this mission has to work when turned in

finally, what's your current gek standing? (just in case)

[fallen breach]

why do i loose connection to online discovery services everytime i use the teleporter?

[swift sand]

just the servers having problems today it seems

other players have also been reporting connectivity issues a bit all around

[fallen breach]

ah okay, so not an issue on my end then

[swift sand]

nah, no reason to worry about that

[fallen breach]

<:info:850810445577453658> Online Discovery Services is down for me or for everyone?

Online Discovery Services connection down/unstable is a server side issue, nothing we can do about it. Just wait for the devs to fix it. Affects:

• Uploading discoveries, bases
• Downloading discoveries, other player bases
• Availability of Nexus Weekend QuickSilver mission
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[jade dune]

TBH I normally have the mission selected to help me keep track of what the mission wants.

[swift sand]

okay, and now with patterns in time selected, is the mission icon above the mission board in this system, or is it pointing you to a diff system via galaxy map?

[swift sand]

(and yes, normally you would, i'm just after knowing if the game has pinpointed a specific gek system for you to go to, hence selecting patterns in time)

[swift sand]

lets go there, and then grab a mission for gek standing, as you know

[jade dune]

Okies, I will do a couple see what happens.

[swift sand]

you know what - lol - that's a vykeen system, so it might just be the closest to the one you actually have to get to

sounds like you'll still have some galaxy map to do first, then yeah

[jade dune]

These bro's aint Gek!

[swift sand]

yeah, check the tooltip lower right, it's probably still saying locate a gek system in the galaxy map

but now you should actually see patterns in time red icon on the system

[jade dune]

Lawd this game is bugged/geeked~

[swift sand]

nah, i dont think so. this is the game's way of letting the player return to the area of the universe where a mission location is

[jade dune]

So find Gek system in this Galaxy?

[swift sand]

not galaxy, star system

in this system, open galaxy map with patterns in time selected

[jade dune]

Okies

[swift sand]

you should then see it leading you to an actual gek system

that's the gek mission board you'll have to talk to

and do missions for +gek standing for

[jade dune]

Man, thank you for taking all this time to help. I was seriously about to give up. Big lesson learned.

[swift sand]

no problem, glad i could help. but yeah, one of the lessons here is when the game specifically mentions galaxy map somewhere - on the tooltip lower right especially - then it's most often asking us to reach a specific star system, a specific location or npc.

[quartz minnow]

I was in Euclid and restarted my game

Now I’m in hyades

anyone know why this happened?

[quartz minnow]

Go in the station

That means he’s in there

This little snarky SOB... man so glad this is done.

[quick rivet]

How do I get the storage augmentation for exosuit item (not the drop pod)

[velvet oracle]

Got it, thanks a lot!!

[swift sand]

there's not many sources for exosuit expansion units, i'd say that the best one would be explorer guild envoys once you got the standing. type !faq-inventory in #nms-commands , click the exosuit header link

[urban citrus]

How do I find a research center

I got frigate modules

[swift sand]

salvaged frigate modules are freighter research currency basically. to spend them, you need to interact with the upgrade terminal in your freighter bridge

[urban citrus]

Ok

[warm fox]

😖 would choose to have these issues right when i bought the steam copy XD

[quartz minnow]

search abandoned stations

or ask around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[urban citrus]

How do I construct a new ship?

[spare oyster]

hey can i temporally join somones lobby, i have a PS5 + Xbox crossplay bug, and i need 1 player to host so we can join same session to add each other

[warm fox]

only parts ive found to buy or make have been in the corvette workshop

and very basic ones

[swift sand]

a new corvette ship?

[tawdry urchin]

are there bigger pirate dreadknots than this? i feel like this one kinda small

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades . alternatively, if you can both use anomaly teleporter to teleport to the same featured base, and then join each other that way, if you land in the same instance (options/network/view nearby player list). that said, there's some issues with the game servers right now, it might be both the reason why you cant join each other atm, and why featured bases in the anomaly teleporter not being available rn.

[swift sand]

nope, just 1 pirate dreadnought size/design

[tawdry urchin]

the coloring also doesnt seem to change, is it just innately black/red with light porple

[spare oyster]

thank you i will do/try that

[swift sand]

iirc, some sections do change color, just not the entire body. you might need to apply and then fly outside to see the changes - try to fly underneath it for example, and then photo mode move the sun if needed

[tawdry urchin]

ahh ok

so nice freighters can move bases

in transfer freighter to freighter it transfers bases too

its nice

[hollow quail]

Please guys, if anyone know how to start this game without making it crash make me a sign

i literally bought this game today, and it wont work, i don't get it, i tried many things, including, reinstalling it

[swift sand]

what platform are you on? pc, windows/linux? mac? steam (deck?), gamepass or gog?

[hollow quail]

pc, steam, windows 11, ryzen 5 9600x, 7800xt on config

[swift sand]

let's try to fix it in the #964865106334875698 thread

[tacit smelt]

what does the "teleport reciever" module do on a starship?

[signal cedar]

sligthly increase the range for teleporing items in/out of the ship

[stuck berry]

Increases the range you can send items to/from it as well as manage its inventory by 100u

[signal cedar]

thx Guntie

[stuck berry]

So from 50u to 150u

Living ships' equivalent to this gives +300u for some reason

[tacit smelt]

does that include the storage containers inside it?

[stuck berry]

No

[tacit smelt]

fah

[stuck berry]

Those are not a part of the starship's inventory

The Matter Beam freighter tech does include those though, when the freighter is in the same system as you

[tacit smelt]

oooh, how do i get it

[stuck berry]

Research it at the freighter bridge, then install it onto your freighter

I belive it costs 4 Salvaged Frigate Modules

#nms-questions message

[tacit smelt]

how do i get frigate modules? if i destroy freighters, wont that decrease my standing?

[stuck berry]

See the link I posted above, it describes the main ways of acquiring them

[tacit smelt]

if i destroy civilian freighters at outlaw systems, it wont decrease standing?

[stuck berry]

Also, destroying civilian freighter cargo does lower your standing with that race, but negative standing doesn't hurt you and you can reset negative standing to 0 using a Forged Passport at one of those race's space stations

[tacit smelt]

ah

do i get a forged passport from the black market?

[stuck berry]

It still will, but sentinel interceptors will not respond to crimes there, and also freighters will spawn at their maximum frequency (though only two fleets can exist at a time, so pulse away when you're done with the current 2 fleets)

[stuck berry]

From Outlaw Systems, yes, mainly from their bounty boards

[proven oyster]

hey i got a problem right now, i bought the game today, finished the tutorial, progressed in mission got the anomaly and i tried joining my friend but it doesnt work, it practically says in the main menu at "join friends" when i join my friend it says "joining lobby" then "connecting" and it dissapears and the lobby size has changed but nothing happened, no games joined nothing help pls

im playing on pc with no mods and all network settings are enabled

[stuck berry]

Possibly check these troubleshooting steps #nms-questions message

Also, are you able to see other players aboard the space anomaly?

If so, then the issue may be on your friend's end

[proven oyster]

no, but my friend was able to and then when we tried to join eachother all of the sudden all players dissapeared

and i wasnt able to from the beginning

[stuck berry]

Then you are having connection issues on your end

If multiplayer is enabled, but the space anomaly is empty for you

[proven oyster]

sometimes it says "lost connection"

when he tries to join

[proven oyster]

any suggestions on where i should start to fix this?

[stuck berry]

See this post #nms-questions message

[proven oyster]

since i tried antivirus and firewall stuff

we both turned everything off

the others i cant really touch practically

no blocking software though

but he doesnt have any players on the anomaly either

[urban citrus]

Like a ship ship yk?

That i fly around planets

[wintry mortar]

Hi, I trying to setup my account to cross-save, but I get a "HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start" on the page...

is it only on my end, or are there services down at the moment?

[swift sand]

yeah services are down intermittently for other players as well

[gray shoal]

There been reports of some problems with services

[wintry mortar]

k, thanks 😉

[swift sand]

well, we can build 5 ship types - corvette uses the corvette workshop instead of the starship fabricator. fabricator lets us build fighter, explorer, hauler and solar sail ship types

[urban citrus]

Starship fabricstor

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Ship Building: Info and Tips

• We can only build Explorer, Fighter, Hauler or Solar Sail ships;
• Found in any space station, Starship Outfitting terminal can now Extract customization module;
• That results in a single part per ship, so you will need to obtain at least 3 ships of the same type to build 1;
• In other words, we can't mix parts of different ship types together;
• The part obtained will have the same 3d model, as seen when acquiring the ship;
• Parts are consumed only when ship is assembled;
• Class is set by Reactor used;
• Reactors can be bought from Starship Module shops;
• Reactors can also drop from Mission Boards;
• Parts used influence Supercharged (SC) slot positions, changing a single part can change them;
• Parts used can influence starting inventory size;
• Space Station used can also affect SC slot positions and starting inventory grid (size).

@urban citrus ^ see this post from gunter

[urban citrus]

Ohhhhh

[proven oyster]

ugh

[proven oyster]

nothing is changing

[proper lodge]

Try vpn

[tawdry urchin]

whats the freighter upgrades command?

[proper lodge]

I had nearly same problem with other game

[proven oyster]

its off

[proper lodge]

No i mean turn it on

[proven oyster]

turn it on?

okay

[swift sand]

it can be useful to bypass home network and isp to see if there's an issue on that part of the way

[proven oyster]

how

[swift sand]

for example, proton vpn has a free tier you could use. download their client, run it and connect, run the game

[left bobcat]

How do I get a new ship? I'm tired of my Corvette. I don't want to complain but I suck at building and I'm not a fan of how the building works, so I just want to get a standard ship again. Can be any class too as long as it accepts some of the upgrades I've slapped on my Corvette

[urban citrus]

Is there a storage thing I can build?

[swift sand]

regular ships can use regular upgrade modules, just like corvette can too. so you can certainly package those, get a new ship (e.g. buy it from a npc, build a fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail ship (not the same process as corvettes)) - we can have up to 12 active ships + 18 archived when we own a freighter (though we cant archive corvettes)

[swift sand]

yep, there's storage containers (freighter equivalent: storage rooms), which you can unlock for free from quests, or with salvaged data at the construction research station in the anomaly

[urban citrus]

Alright

[left bobcat]

Oh wow so I can just leave my Corvette somewhere and galavant around in my tiny ship. Now how do I get money to buy a ship? 💀

[urban citrus]

Whats the corvette things

[swift sand]

see this post <#nms-questions message>

[proper lodge]

Buy on space station, find on planets with distress signal chart/exocraft scanner, in missions you can get carrier ai module which will show you location of crashed ship on the planet you standing in(if there non on planet it will show in system, if non in system it will point to other system)

[left bobcat]

thx

[swift sand]

corvette is a ship type we can literally build from the ground up, that can have a mini base inside, has autopilot, can hover, is the only ship type that will let you spacewalk

[urban citrus]

Is there a list of all the ships i can find?

[urban citrus]

Oh ok

[left bobcat]

ooooo thanks

[swift sand]

this is basically it - though note that living ships dont spawn in the wild

[livid kayak]

There's a list of ship types, the rest is randomly generated

proceduraly* sorry.

[proper lodge]

Oh and also if you stand on dissonant planet it will show location of crashed sentinel ship which is recommended bc of their default buffs

[quartz minnow]

What planet is most likely to have dinosaurs or wyrms or dragons or other cool creatures

[proper lodge]

Planets with many species and mega fauna(probably)

[livid kayak]

I don't think we can predict it, honestly. Most planets are suitable to have those kind of creatures.

[left bobcat]

Oooooo thanks!

[livid kayak]

but if you're looking for them to get a specific pet, you can try seraching for them on NMSGE

[quartz minnow]

What’s NMSGE

[livid kayak]

google it, you can try their reddit or official website

the acronym stands for No Mans Sky Glyph Exchange

[stuck berry]

Oh, that was rebranded to https://nmsce.com/

No Man's Sky Coordinate Exchange

[livid kayak]

Ah, okey, you're right, tho when i google "NMSGE" i still find it, but thanks for the info

[urban citrus]

What all can the corvette do?

Is it the same as the other ships?

[gleaming yarrow]

it's pretty the same but you can ''land'' on planets without using fuel

more like a teleport sistem

[hazy berry]

store alot of items

[urban citrus]

Hm?

[proper lodge]

Wdym land without using fuel? All ships don't use fuel to land

[tacit smelt]

what are squadrons?

[stuck berry]

They use fuel to take off though, which isn't necessary for corvettes as you can park them in mid-air

[livid kayak]

Not really. There's a lot of unique functionallity. The most important change is that you can have a walkable interior, with additional terminals inside, for example missions terminal or hydroponics

[proper lodge]

They like mini freighters with some options that freighter don't have and they don't have some options that freighter has

[stuck berry]

A group of pilots you recruit to help you in dogfights, though they don't really help that much and are more for flair

[urban citrus]

Oh ok

[gleaming yarrow]

oh sorry i mean takeoff

[proper lodge]

Woah, mine can't stop mid air, it always flies at speed 20u/s

[urban citrus]

How do I get other corvette i dont reslly want the thunderbird

[proper lodge]

How to make it stop?

[proper lodge]

Salvaged scrap

[stuck berry]

Exit the cockpit using the quick menu

[urban citrus]

Hm?

[proper lodge]

You can find it on any planet with "salvaged scrap" in resource list

[hazy berry]

even when flying corvettes can hover like sentinel ships

[urban citrus]

Oh ok

[hazy berry]

look for "yeallow wifi marker"

[stuck berry]

You can get corvette modules for free from Salvage Containers found on worlds that list Salvageable Scrap. This contains the full selection of modules too

[proper lodge]

Basically capsules that you dig up and they give you a bit of resources, sometimes artifacts and always corvette parts

[livid kayak]

Yeah, the hovering is also there. You can even leave the ship hovering, while you skydive to the planet

In short: If you build yourself a corvette, the other types of ships become ALMOST obsolete

[proper lodge]

Also you need to use mining laser to destroy protective modules(you can't destroy capsule until you destroy protective modules) and after destroy capsule itself

[hazy berry]

it this a bug, that the space icons show even in the anomanoly

they have been there since i put automated fisshinfg traps i think

[livid kayak]

On this screenshot, it looks like you've selecet this marker with your visor, that's why it stayed visible

[proper lodge]

There's 2 of them

[left bobcat]

Can you hover standard ships the way you can corvettes?

[proper lodge]

Also i see green light ahead so if you didn't get inside it yet then it could be the reason

[hazy berry]

only sentinel ones

[proper lodge]

Sentinel ships yes but you can't exit them in air

[left bobcat]

😭😭

Small ship interiors when

[warm fox]

on the space station you have 4 teleports, one of them leads to the bay where you craft it.....i think a basic one cost like 5mil to make?

[proper lodge]

Thats literally just a seat and a bunch of buttons around you

How you supposed to move inside it

[urban citrus]

Oh ok

[proper lodge]

All of them actually

[urban citrus]

Am I able to change of the colors of my ships?

[stuck berry]

Somewhat, yes

[proper lodge]

Thats just slots and each has corvette modifier and storage

[warm fox]

lol the sentinel ships specifically didnt even originally have a bay for pilots

[stuck berry]

No, besides corvettes at least

[urban citrus]

Fuck really?

Thats lame

[warm fox]

which is a major oversight, paint colors should 100% be a thing

[hazy berry]

well you can "change" the color of custom amde ships but only once tho

[stuck berry]

At best, you can use starship fabrication to make one with the colors you want, but that's exclusive to fighters, haulers, explorers and solar ships

[proper lodge]

Create identical ship to yours with different color🙂

[urban citrus]

This thing

[left bobcat]

Btw how do I get more slots for ships? I think imma buy this guy's solar sailer. The only thing I don't like about it is the limited amount of slots for equipment

[hazy berry]

few ways

[warm fox]

its a sailboat man

[proper lodge]

How does one find such ugly ship

[warm fox]

it aint meant to carry stuff

[tacit smelt]

is freighter research universal? if i switch to a different freighter in the future, will i still have all my research unlocked?

[hazy berry]

either buy them on the starship augmentation terminal or use storage augmentation

[left bobcat]

What's ur point 🤨

[left bobcat]

Go on

[urban citrus]

Whats yours look like?

[hazy berry]

.

[hazy berry]

.

[left bobcat]

Oh sorry didn't see that xd

[proper lodge]

1. Hauler have more slots
2. There's item that can add slots(i don't remember the name)

[stuck berry]

You can, nothing is stopping you #nms-showcase-corvettes message

[left bobcat]

Are those expensive options?

[proper lodge]

I'm not in game rn

[left bobcat]

I don't want a hauler I want this cool solar sailer 🥹

[hazy berry]

depens on the difficulty but on normal mode storage slot can go up to 75 million units

for each

[left bobcat]

Good lord 😭 that's horrendous

[hazy berry]

storage auigmentations are "free" but require some work to get

[left bobcat]

Wait no not storage slots, technology slots. My bad. How do I get more of those in a standard ship? Hopefully it's cheaper

[hazy berry]

in my opinion the best way to get them is by buing cheap s class ships, then scrapping it (you get 1-3 modulesw) then you can spend like 10million to get 3 slots compared to 225 million

[hazy berry]

the same way as storage slots, but you just choose the tech panel

the price gets higher for each new slot

[left bobcat]

Is it just as horrendously expensive?

[hazy berry]

it starts like 1 million up to 75 million

yeah

[proper lodge]

You can use storage augmentation too

[hazy berry]

yes

[left bobcat]

Bros rich asf

[left bobcat]

How do I buy cheap s class ships?

[hazy berry]

that happens when you have hundreds of hours

[proper lodge]

Why do you have atlas interface in your tech bro😭

Oh you got the octopus too

[hazy berry]

what atlast interface?

that minituare thing

[proper lodge]

Why is it in TECH slot

[hazy berry]

well its rng based ofcourse, but i have personally noticed that on many pirate systems you can get s class solaar ships for like under 7 million units

[hazy berry]

thats where you have to put it

[proper lodge]

And teach me your ways of obtaining so much tritium

[left bobcat]

WOAH. So I just had to pitter patter around till I find one?

[proper lodge]

My frigates demand fuel

[hazy berry]

well i just sat on pirate station, waited for s class to spawn, boought it, scapped it and switched system

[proper lodge]

Stay on space station and check every coming ship

[left bobcat]

Oh damn imma do that haha

[hazy berry]

either put ypur settlement to make it or buy it on pirate stations

[left bobcat]

Oh nice

[tacit smelt]

when walking in my freighter, i get caught on some short invisible barrier when going room to room, i have to jump to get through it, how do i fix it? it happens on every room

[hazy berry]

well 7million comapred to 225 millions is a bit cheaper

[hazy berry]

a bug, annyiong at that

[quartz minnow]

Found some flying worms, how do I tame them?

[hazy berry]

save and reload could work

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks, also is there anything that will threaten me if my settlement has too much debt?

[proper lodge]

Massive ones or small?

[hazy berry]

saddly i dont know, sorry

[quartz minnow]

Small

It’s a regular paradise

[proper lodge]

Fly to them and try to tame, if you can't than you can't tame em

And those flying worms not rare at all

[hazy berry]

you cant interact with anything while flying

so you need to try to find one thats near ground

so you can interact with it

[proper lodge]

Most flying animals either birds or flying worms/tapeworms

[stuck berry]

Note that interacting with creatures is impossible while you are in the air

[proper lodge]

Can i stand on big flying ones?

[hazy berry]

what was the economy type for de-scented bottles

[stuck berry]

all fauna that seem visibly impossible to interact with from the ground can instantly be written of as impossible to adopt

[stuck berry]

No, I do not believe any fauna have standing collision like that

[proper lodge]

:(

[stuck berry]

They come from scientific, and are sold to trading

[proper lodge]

There's planets with flying mini islands, will that work?

What will happen if i talk to grave with all glyphs unlocked?

[stuck berry]

Will what work?

[stuck berry]

It gives a weird technology upgrade thing, nothing more

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[proper lodge]

?

[stuck berry]

What are you asking will work?

[proper lodge]

Can i tame flying animal while standing on flying mini island?

[left bobcat]

100 percent

Btw, can I access my Corvette anywhere? If I leave it on this pirate infested black market station in the middle of nowhere it'll be safe, right?

[stuck berry]

Interacting with them without mods is fully impossible, even if a grounded state is achieved within the regular interaction range

there's just not an interaction

[hazy berry]

you can always just summon it from the quick menu

[proper lodge]

Yes

You can throw your ship on another side of galaxy and still summon it

[trail mulch]

Is there a reason to do Scrap Collecting in the main game? I can get Nanites a lot quicker from other sources.

[proper lodge]

Same goes for freighter and everything else

[proper lodge]

To make game more alive

[hazy berry]

unclockables, tittles and for fun if you enjoy it

otherwise not really

if you dont care about any of those

[proper lodge]

Like why would planet be so clean if there was smart living beings?

[trail mulch]

Aah, I was wondering if there was like quests at the scrapyard computer

I kinda don't like the spider legs but the asymetrycal cabin is cool.

[hazy berry]

ohh those are expidation rewards

[left bobcat]

Perfect, thanks!

[hazy berry]

there are unlockable colossus customisations in the base game too

[livid kayak]

@trail mulch

[quartz minnow]

Do creatures get bigger as they age?

[left bobcat]

can the colossus thingies be used with a non corvette ship?

[hazy berry]

the colossus customisation items are only for the colossus exocraft

[left bobcat]

Oh so I can summon them no matter the ship?

[livid kayak]

Wait, summon what?

[left bobcat]

Btw which do u recommend; the extra 100 ly of hyperdrive range or the plus 100 percent hyperdrive efficiency

[hazy berry]

im not 100% what you are meaning ritght now

[left bobcat]

Colossus exocraft

[stuck berry]

Colossus customisation options can only be used on the colossus exocraft. They cannot be used on starships

[quartz minnow]

If I put a giant flying worm egg in the egg sequencer and only changed the anatomy would it stay a giant flying worm?

[livid kayak]

Yeah, you can summon your exocrafts no matter what type of ship you're suing. You just need to be using the correct tech

[stuck berry]

Possibly, not sure

sometimes sequencing them can revert their size to their "intended range", which for flying worms is 1 meter

[livid kayak]

Try Orbital Materialiser, or Summoning station.

or, when you're in a late game. Summonig Unit, installed directly in your suit

[hazy berry]

does the complexity of the food affect the amout of nanites and "eye of cronos" proggress ytou get?

like vicisius custard is hardder to make that chocolate

[leaden creek]

Can you only find dreadnoughts in pirate systems?

[quartz minnow]

What if I change the coloring?

[quartz minnow]

Yes

[leaden creek]

Okay cool

[left bobcat]

Oooooo okay

[stuck berry]

Again, possibly, it's been a while since I've sequenced something

[quartz minnow]

ima dupe the eggs just in case

[left bobcat]

So I have two upgrades from black market; one is +100 ly range and one is +100 percent warp drive efficiency. I only have space for one 😭

[stuck berry]

No, they can be encountered in other conflict levels with lower chances for lower levels of conflict. When that chance is met, the system always has a pirate dreadnought battle instead of a regular freighter battle

See #nms-questions message

[leaden creek]

Qh cool

[stuck berry]

Also, 20% of all outlaw systems and 10% of all high-conflict systems will skip the cooldown and always spawn a pirate dread event when warped to via starship

(when the player qualifies for them to spawn at all that is)

[quartz minnow]

I mean the description still says “very large”

[stuck berry]

That could be scaled around their intended size values

in which case 1.0, which is regularly the maximum, would be considered very large

[proper parcel]

what should i take with me on the corvette expedition ?

[hazy berry]

Ohh, i was talking avout the colossus message, but it depends. If warp fuel is pain in the ass for you, then get the +100%

Personally i can warp like 30 times or more before i have to recharge

[left bobcat]

damn wtf

another choice. how do i switch everything over from old one to new one if i add new one to my collection?

[hazy berry]

By manually storing them into your inventory and then manually installing them to the new one

[stuck berry]

Store the tech to your cargo inventories, then switch to the new tool, then reinstall it all from that cargo inventory

[left bobcat]

thanks!

[stuck berry]

Hover over modules to see the option to store them

[proper parcel]

anything i should take with me to do the old corvette expedition?

[hazy berry]

Anyone please?

[stuck berry]

I can't think of anything notably important

[proper parcel]

ok thanks

[stuck berry]

Basic stuff is always helpful though #nms-expedition message

[livid kayak]

You can complete all the exps without taking anything with you, so it's only a matter of how efficient or fast do you wanna be

Read the milestone task descriptions beforhand and plan accordingly

[proper parcel]

where can i find those milestones listed?

[tawdry urchin]

how do save beacons, beacon is it just on when placed?

[novel bone]

You get a "press e to save" ui.

Basically you interact with it

[tawdry urchin]

ah oki

[proper parcel]

if i take my multi tool does it become unavailable in my regular save untill i finish the expedition??

[livid kayak]

There you go:
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Expedition_19:_Corvette

[dense rock]

?

[proper parcel]

oh i was llookin in game thanks

[left bobcat]

Where do I find black market scanner upgrades? I can find plenty of black market ship upgrades in pirate station but no scanner ones

[dense rock]

Propably first and last I see in game something like this

[stuck berry]

No

[proper parcel]

ok great. thx

[tacit smelt]

how do i find pirate freighters attacking civilians? is it a 20% chance every outlaw system i travel to?

cause ive hopped around to at least 20 outlaw systems and havent encountered 1

[stuck berry]

Do you qualify for them to spawn?

[tacit smelt]

ive encountered them before

like 2 hrs ago

[stuck berry]

Then just unlucky

[tacit smelt]

bruh

[stuck berry]

remember, warping via freighter never begins battles

[tacit smelt]

does it still work if i hop between the same 2 outlaw systems

[stuck berry]

No

[tacit smelt]

ye ik

[stuck berry]

The chance is predetermined

[tacit smelt]

so im just suuuper unlucky?

[stuck berry]

20% of all outlaw systems and 10% of all high conflict systems have this property

[stuck berry]

Do you both:
Own a freighter
And have encountered 2 freighter battles before?

[tacit smelt]

yes

[stuck berry]

Also, do you have Options > Difficulty > Space Combat set to anything except None?

[tacit smelt]

i didnt touch a thing when i made my 1st save

[stuck berry]

These options can be changed at any time

[tacit smelt]

i can increase it?

[stuck berry]

I do not believe it would increase the chances for freighter battles, but not sure

again, it's just luck

at worst, you could portal to one known to be guaranteed

Like this pair of systems

[left bobcat]

Does the indium drive unlock everything?

Or are there more planets and stars to unlock?

[stuck berry]

There are still purple star systems, which are locked behind a mission that comes after the main story and some other stuff #nms-commands message

[left bobcat]

What drive unlocks purple stars? 🤔 Or is it specifically the missions?

[stuck berry]

The Atlantid Drive, but they don't appear on the galaxy map until that mission is completed

[left bobcat]

Alrighty. I better finish those darn quests then 😭

[hasty crypt]

Can you guys stop asking grouch questions, hes not paying attention to our game. 👉 👈

[stuck berry]

NO KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS

[left bobcat]

Oop sorry

can u get new storage/tech slots by salvaging less than s class ships?

[stuck berry]

Yes #nms-commands message

[left bobcat]

Ooooooo living ships

[soft wolf]

Anyone know where to find these materials?

[stuck berry]

All over the planet you are on

you just got a mission that guides you on how to get these

[soft wolf]

Oh yup I just forgot to scan it

[proper lodge]

Radiant shard: just scan around and you'll find it
Inverted mirror: scan around and find icon of tall spike like icon(note that if you start attacking that thing corrupted sentinels around it will start attacking you)
Harmonic brain: icon of it will appear after you get inverted mirror

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> When the game spawns a Dissonance Resonator...

There's a:

• 80% chance that Resonator will be an Inverted Mirror Resonator;
• 20% chance that Resonator will be an Echo Locator Resonator.

Approach and aim at the Resonator to see what it will drop when destroyed.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

The Harmonic Brain is only acquired through the Salvage Site mission, which requires you to have acquired the necessary 3 radiant shards and 1 inverted mirror

[amber pivot]

Select the mission in the log and use your scanner it will point you towards them

The scanner that you scan stuff with to clarify

[stuck berry]

That's the Analysis Visor, not the Scanner

[amber pivot]

Thanks couldn’t remember what it was called

Is it possible to go back and complete old expeditions?

[stuck berry]

Only on PC via unofficial means https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

[amber pivot]

:(

[left bobcat]

What color are pirate systems when u have the economy filter on?

[amber pivot]

Darn

[strange ridge]

do I keep flying to autophage camps in order to try find the staff piece i need from the terminal or does it reset after some time or after an event

[stuck berry]

Whatever their economy type is, they can have any eco type

[stuck berry]

Each one offers different parts, check more of them

[left bobcat]

Darn. Trying to find more black market stations

[stuck berry]

Just manually hunt for their special eco tier

if you also have a Conflict Scanner, you can sort by conflict and look at red ones

[summer lantern]

Is there an easy way to snap furniture/stations to base (other than prefabs bases)? Precise freehanding is getting annoying

[stuck berry]

No

[summer lantern]

rip

[amber pivot]

Do pirate capital ships give you rewards if they surrender?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can demand tribute for units

or claim the Pirate Dreadnought as your freighter, replacing your previous one

[amber pivot]

Is that free?

[stuck berry]

Yes, both are

[amber pivot]

Well I’ve been looking for a new freighter so that’s super helpful

(Mines ugly)

[soft wolf]

Can you turn a B tier sentinel into a S tier?

[stuck berry]

Yes, at any starship outfitting terminal

[lime light]

Hey y'all, just did a portal jump to get closer to the center of the galaxy, but I'm still about 5k lys out, is there a faster way to get there besides system hopping

[soft wolf]

Appreciate it

[stuck berry]

Just warp there, that's not far at all
If htis is about The Purge, see #nms-questions message

You can purchase hyperdrive upgrade modules from this lifeform aboard space stations, and install up to 3 at a time, not including blueprint tech

[lime light]

Alright thanks so much, that's super helpful

[urban citrus]

I need a way to store stuff asap

[stuck berry]

Unlock the storage container blueprints and build them

[urban citrus]

How

[stuck berry]

You get one from the start of Base Computer Archives, which really starts after the tutorial is done

[urban citrus]

Fuck idk

Im in a new system rn

[stuck berry]

the rest can either be unlocked from the space anomaly's construction research station, or you can wait until you've progressed the story more in which their blueprints are given to you from Expanding the Base

[urban citrus]

And theyres reslly cool ships

[stuck berry]

Have you reached the space anomaly yet?

[urban citrus]

I dont think so

[amber pivot]

Wait fr?? I thought that was a bug

Well that’s good to know

[stuck berry]

Then keep progressing the main story, what does it say in the lower right with the mission with this icon tracked?

[quartz minnow]

How do I get my creatures to age

[stuck berry]

Wait for time to pass

it passes when the game is off

[amber pivot]

Can they die (please be no)

[stuck berry]

no

[amber pivot]

Oh thank god

[urban citrus]

Im on the finding the freight missions

[amber pivot]

Also can you change the color of the plasma balls?

[stuck berry]

Of what?

[soft wolf]

Does it tell you if you’re about to drown?

[amber pivot]

The plasma ball creatures from breached worlds

[quartz minnow]

So I got a creature egg and duped it

Now all my eggs say “technology overloaded”

[stuck berry]

Oh, I do not believe so

[stuck berry]

This is normal

[amber pivot]

Aw

[stuck berry]

their data is not in the egg, the egg is a pointer

[quartz minnow]

how do I fix it

[stuck berry]

delete both of them, and do not duplicate them in the future

in the future, use save editing to copy them instead

or mods to make them lay more eggs in a shorter timespan

[quartz minnow]

I’m on Xbox

[stuck berry]

Then still, don't duplicate them

[lost jay]

Are squadron pilot's stats just inside jokes? All the info I find online is old so might be outdated. People say they are useless but I did a 2v3 and the pilot killed one by himself, so imo they dont suck?

Anyway some of the stats seem to be a joke but some seem to be game mechanic centric.. so yea no idea

[livid kayak]

Any objections for duplicating tech modules, by the way?

i duped my photonix cores (as i don't have the blueprint)

any, possible glitches related to that?

[stuck berry]

Those should work fully

but they don't stack

[livid kayak]

ok, thanks

[stuck berry]

so I think the main "refiner dupe" might not work on them, so idk

but their data is stored in their item

[livid kayak]

I used the personal refiner and save scumming

[quick rivet]

Since when there’s gas giant ??!??

That’s kinda cool

[livid kayak]

Since the purple start system being introduced, so about a year ago?

they came with Worlds pt.2

[quick rivet]

I just unlocked the purple system and they look so cool

This one looks like Jupiter

One planet with 5 moon!!

[livid kayak]

Yeah, and water worlds

with extremely deep oceans

[quick rivet]

Where are they ?

[stuck berry]

in other purple star systems

[livid kayak]

You just need to find them in one of those purple systems

[quick rivet]

Some purple planets have dissonant characteristics, others are gas giants. What are the characteristics of water worlds?

[livid kayak]

Dissonant planets aren't related to purple systems, you can find those anywhere in the galaxy. If you want to find a water world, you simply need to visit a bunch of purple Systems and check the planets inside

i mean they are lore related, but that's about it

[stuck berry]

The only correlation that purple systems and dissonant worlds have are that all purple systems have at least one dissonant world

[livid kayak]

Yeah

[stuck berry]

dissonant worlds are not their own biome, it's a sentinel level that has other characteristics like special objects, structures and a filter

they are applied to existing worlds/biomes

[quick rivet]

Yeah I know but like u said and I suppose that u can only find gas giant on purple system and they have a name like : 525ly//x6p//dissonant.

[stuck berry]

Yes, waterworlds don't have a tag like that

just seek purple systems that do not have a giant

[quick rivet]

Ohhh okay thanks

[stuck berry]

purple systems have X or Y at the beginning of their stellar class, they are most frequently found in the gaps between regions in space

[quick rivet]

Why Y and X or O B ?

Do they affect the generation of the world?

[livid kayak]

a bit, like you can see in the table above, some resources can only be found in the specific systems

[quick rivet]

Hmm

[severe acorn]

Quick question: I just finished my first expedition and I brought back both of these. Can I use both on my suit? I just have a regular jetpack (sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new to NMS)

[quick rivet]

Ohhh when there a giant planet it’s the only one in that system

[livid kayak]

Ofcourse you can. Those are S-class upgrade modules. Connect them to your jetpack inside the tech area, and you'll gain some additioanl bonuses from adjecency

[stuck berry]

Yes, also waterworlds cannot be giants or moons, so you will never find a waterworld in those systems

[livid kayak]

You can have up to 3 of those upgrade modules, installed at the given time. Not counting the additional, unlockable tech from blueprints

[stuck berry]

X and Y are purple, O and B are blue

[quick rivet]

So they are in random purple system with multiple planets

[stuck berry]

They have many unique possibilities that are only available in them
https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems#Unique_Attributes

[quick rivet]

So cool

It’s been my 10th purple system and I found nothing

[severe acorn]

One last question before I set out from the Anomoly after the Expedition: If what I want to do is explore and find a cool new ship (and see what I heard was a spooky part of the game) what questline should I follow?

[stuck berry]

The main story (Alone Amidst the Stars) #nms-commands message, as well as The Atlas Path eventually

[severe acorn]

Thanks. I am trying to not get overwhelmed with the abundance of things to do. I'm ignoring cooking and fishing and base building for now. I want to experience the story first and foremost, so I'll just follow the primary quests.

[stuck berry]

The main story teaches you a bunch of stuff about the game, and is eventually required for endgame stuff like new systems

[livid kayak]

Yeah, a lot of reasons to finish it first. You'll also be given all the glyphs, necessary for portal travel

[raven matrix]

Hello, I don't know where to go.
Space stations and Anomaly have no locations with quest marker.
Going to Galaxy map has no locations with quest marker.

[swift sand]

1. are you playing solo or with friends?
2. is there a restart using nearby structures button in the mission log for this mission?

[raven matrix]

im playing with friends right now

Oh there is a restart using nearby structures

never seen this button before

[swift sand]

that's most likely going to be why. quest markers can break when in a group - sending a player on a wild goose chase sometimes. strongly recommend leaving group, and if needed, save+reload.

[swift sand]

yeah, really sounds like being in a group is messing it up. it might not even work properly if you press it now while in a group

[swift sand]

it only pops when mission location is more than 4k LY away from our current position. usually never going to see it because mission objectives pick really closeby systems - and if all goes "according to plan", you probably wouldnt ever see it

[raven matrix]

It worked!!! Thank you!!!

[tame bane]

Is it worth unlocking the previous expedition rewards ?

[swift sand]

well, you'll certainly be the judge of that

[tame bane]

Does it give me corvette parts or ?

[wheat cove]

It can give you the aeron corvette parts, if you like black and red

[tame bane]

gotcha

How else do I get new corvette parts?

[swift sand]

exp19 had deadeye cannon corvette part, and exp20 the aeron themed parts yep

[tame bane]

Awesome

My corvette looks so boring to other peoples lol

They have cool as hell parts

[swift sand]

either from farming them from the wild e.g. salvageable scrap, or farming parts then using them to barter for ones you want

[tame bane]

how do you farm parts?

god there is so much to this game I learn something new every day and I have 30 hours

[wheat cove]

Planets with Salvageable Scrap

[swift sand]

destroy salvageable scrap containers

[livid kayak]

Looking for the yellow "wi-fi" icon on a planet that says it contains salvagable scrap

[quick rivet]

I found a waterworld !!

[tame bane]

Right so salvageable scrap is only used for corvette's?

And selling for units

[swift sand]

yep

[tame bane]

Sweet!

I tried finding frigate salvaged data but its rare as hell.

I see why someone told me to dupe it

[livid kayak]

yeah, it was me 🙂 i told you

[tame bane]

Yeah!

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message> for drop sources; strongly recommend going with mission boards, explorer and merchant guild envoys (high standing for all these is recommended/mandatory)

[tame bane]

Some random person at the anomaly gifted me 300 salvaged data as well.

[languid pond]

getting back into game after 3 year break u think i should start a new save or just continue my old 110hour one?

[livid kayak]

One of the very few items i recommand to dupe

[tame bane]

Okay! Thank you, because I don't really wanna dupe if I can avoid it

[swift sand]

resume existing save

[tame bane]

What else would you dupe?

[livid kayak]

Well, i just recently duped a Photonix Core, since i don't have a blueprint for it

[tame bane]

Nice

[livid kayak]

also, Iron Vulture parts

and i think thats it

[tame bane]

Damn apparently this Photonix Core can only be made by PS4 players or day one players

[livid kayak]

Yeah, exactly

[tame bane]

the iron vulture looks sick

Can starships be better then corvettes still?

[swift sand]

it is a prebuilt tech in the starborn runner exp12 ship

[tame bane]

Interesting

Anyways I gotta head to work

Low key thinking about buying a steam deck for no mans sky

[swift sand]

well, as look is a part of better - i'd say that answer is going to be pretty personal

any will do anything you need it to

[tame bane]

I find I don't really think the corvette upgrades are that useful

Or anything you can build in it doesn't seem that useful

only cool thing is hauling my friends around

[warm fox]

Bout to run thru all the offline expeditions thru the Relive stuff.

Its looking like a fresh save is recommended fot the first 11 since anomaly didnt exist prior and bugs exist?

[swift sand]

then dont worry, you dont have to use it because others do

[tame bane]

Do you use a corvette? If so what have you got in it?

[swift sand]

good call yep, i'd do that.

[swift sand]

i have 1 corvette, and inside it i dont have much, as most of what it can do for me i already have incoming in some other way - personally it's just a ship that i use when i want to space walk, skydive, make use of autopilot to travel across a planet. but i had fun building it, and that's one of the most important things

[livid kayak]

Yeah, mostly cosmetic stuff, mission scanner, and i like the fact of having the autopilot. No other ships have it

[tame bane]

Yeah makes sense

I'm just looking into it too much lol

Is the medipod only cosmetic?

[swift sand]

yeah

[livid kayak]

yeah yeah

[tame bane]

alrighty

[livid kayak]

Tho you can place a medical "panel" inside the corvette

[warm fox]

Any of them i should focus on or skip (especially in those first 11)? I find it to be a great way to learn the updates introduced at that time. Remnant kinda sold me on the idea of starting here

[livid kayak]

sorry i forgot the name

[tame bane]

I'm gonna try to just finish the Atlas path and all the rest of the story

Then have fun building a cool base

My freighter rn is currently just a money making machine growing nip nip and doing missions

[vital estuary]

Comes in really handy if you ever play abandoned mode someday, since it can function as a portable base and somewhat replace a freighter as well.

[tame bane]

What is abandoned mode?

I'll probably start a second save on perma death so I can get all the steam achievements eventually

[swift sand]

personally, i would recommend exp3, exp4, exp7, exp9, exp10, exp12, exp13, exp16 - not necessarily in that order

[earnest pasture]

Hello. I just got the flatbed. Loaded up some stuff. Started back to the base and paused to go to the bathroom. Came back and the flatbed was rased and dumped everything. How the heck do I lower it.

[vital estuary]

Custom game setting, all systems are abandoned, so no npcs.
Not recommended until you know a fair amount about the game.

[shrewd jolt]

Corvettes are good to hide from sentinels too, scan for stuff without exposing yourself to the elements, you can put storage containers in them, I basically live out of mine

[livid kayak]

Health Station.

[earnest pasture]

google is being no help

[shrewd jolt]

Hovering is super nice as well

[vital estuary]

A button on the outside towards the rear left corner (when looking forward)

[earnest pasture]

Thank you. MY gawds I cant believe I missed that

[livid kayak]

Oh yeah, scanning from your cockpit is very conveninet now

[raven matrix]

when this expedition ends,
when will the next one be up?

will it be Expedition 22 the day after this end?

[livid kayak]

Probably not. They usually come at like 3 months intervals

[vital estuary]

Normally is a bit of time between expeditions except for reduxes at the end of the year.

[livid kayak]

Exactly

[languid pond]

my inventory is full of stuff like crumbling skeletral fragments and parcel of moon stones, this is all junk to sell right? it says used for only trading

can't remember at all what is important item and what is not lol

[swift sand]

sell it yeah

[paper yew]

Does the size of the capital freighter matter in any non-visual way?

[vital estuary]

They seem to function the same big or small.

[paper yew]

Are the guns just decorative?

[vital estuary]

Yeah, they can shoot at things but basically no damage.

[summer lantern]

Is there a limit to how many ship crashes i can find in a given time? Emergency signal charts have been giving me abandoned buildings for a while

[paper yew]

So, if I'm being offered an S-class Sentinel-class Battleship for free, I should take it?

[vital estuary]

If you like the look of it may as well.

[paper yew]

You can change the color, right? And there are only two types of Capital Freighter: Star Wars and 40k? And Pirate, but I don't think I can get those yet.

Does the Internal Layout change for different Capital Freighters?

[vital estuary]

The base part? That you can change.
Hangers should be the same.

[versed vector]

Hey guys, I’ve just built my hauler but parts of it (the sections connecting the wings to the body) become invisible. Is there a way to fix this bug?

[paper yew]

Can you extend it, because this one is really small

[vital estuary]

I think if you ignore the abandoned building ones and use the same type of chart it will force it to roll to something else.

[summer lantern]

last time i tried that it told me can't chart for another of the same type

[vital estuary]

You can through the build menu, but may need to unlock more types of rooms with the research console on the freighter bridge.

[vital estuary]

Could submit a bug report if it is a regular ship.

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[versed vector]

Cool will do, thanks for letting me know

[vital estuary]

Im used to looking for those using the exocraft radar, some you might be able to try it multiple times until something new pops up, I guess id look to see if there was a crash site that wasn't claimed yet but guessing you already did claim it.

[summer lantern]

In this system which I discovered, it's sent me to two abandoned buildings in a row. On a previous system it was like 6 in a row

but i guess I'll be more efficient to pull out the exocraft to search for those

[languid pond]

is there way to make the game NOT to pause when i alt-tab away

[vital estuary]

It wont while in multi-player, and if on PC might be a mod that does that. Otherwise not a way to prevent it from pausing that I know of.

[vital estuary]

If you have the submarine exocraft and the sonar installed you can look for sunken crashed ships directly, though I know not everyone loves diving.

[summer lantern]

Oh yeah, I was completing the questline for that one and I found so many with the radar. I was just hoping to make good use of the charts i had already bought

[paper yew]

Do all the Freighters have the exact same base building space?

[vital estuary]

Yeah the area is the same.

[vital estuary]

Understandable, I didn't use charts much since I mostly went for the exocraft to find them.
I think the minotaur was the one that could scan for the signals like the chart.

[urban citrus]

How do I switch multitools?

[summer lantern]

Qucik access menu, utilities, swap multitool

you can quickbind specific multitools. I got 1 for my tools one and 2 for my weapons one

[clever beacon]

how can i know a planet will have gravitino balls?

[urban citrus]

How do i get rid of a ship that cant currently fly from my claimed?

[left bobcat]

Where do I find a conflict scanner?

[summer lantern]

Go to your base, select it and place it (it will let you if you're inside your base), then warp to a space station (with the ship still being your active ship) and decomission it (station at the back, left-most)

[urban citrus]

Its in a different galaxy

[summer lantern]

I'd imagine it should still let you?

you select it from the quick-access menu within your base

[left bobcat]

Are atlas passes worth it?

[summer lantern]

They dont tend to give anything to wow about, but they're reusable (they dont get consumed) the resources they give do add up

[paper yew]

What does a Stellar Extractor actually extract?

[left bobcat]

Emma Stone?

[left bobcat]

Thanks!

[summer lantern]

NP. You just leave them in your inventory and you get more stuff. Easy as it gets

I still dont know what v3 gives tbh. Havent found anything that asks for it

[vital estuary]

Doors in certain buildings, and in the abandoned space stations.

[summer lantern]

Ah. I've encountered some doors in buildings asking for v2, but not v3 yet. I've yet to encounter an abandoned space station

[vital estuary]

Can extract chromatic metal from yellow star systems, and gases from the other colored stars. Gas collected depends on star color.

[inland ermine]

Best way to get yourself AtlasPass v3? Do the current expedition. Somebody decided to be real nice and made it a planet in Green Star system, which is stacked with Emeril. Double nice since it is also used in some high-end hyperdrive expansions and couple other useful ship/exosuit/tool modules.

[inland ermine]

V2 doors in ground stations tend to have a "vault" behind them, literally a room with several lootable crates, decent basic components and whatnot, yet to see a V3 too.

[inland ermine]

You install it from a plans you either find in the wild while exploring tech-yielding POIs or buy the plans from Spaceship Modules Merchant at Anomaly

[severe acorn]

Can I repaint my ship?

[inland ermine]

Corvette yes, Fighter only when building it from ground up afaik

[severe acorn]

What about the Solar I just bought from an NPC

[inland ermine]

Also counts as fighter

[severe acorn]

Gotcha

[vital estuary]

That you can't repaint

[inland ermine]

Only way to change the paint on fighters I know of is to build one

Still hoping that one day we will be able to do it normally too

[left bobcat]

Yeah I just bought one lol

What's a walker brain and how do I find one?

[inland ermine]

It's a walker brain duh

How do you find a walker... Piss off Sentinels bad.

Real bad.

Like, 5 stars bad.

Oh, and survive

[left bobcat]

💀

[inland ermine]

IKR

[vital estuary]

Once in a while can find them from other spots, like pirate stations, but likely to be getting them by killing the walkers first.

[left bobcat]

Luckily I just upgraded my rifle

[inland ermine]

That's always a good start

I'm still mad that when I tried to hunt one yesterday it decided to spawn somewhere underground and couldn't even dig my way to it

Bro was too scared and literally decided to hide in the sand

[vital estuary]

Happens a lot unfortunately, especially on rugged terrain.

[inland ermine]

Eh, gonna try more tomorrow

Right now I need to decide which pirate ship I wanna inspire my Corvette upon

And learn how to actually build these cool sloped edges and stuff

[summer lantern]

Happened to me twice so far. Digging a hole to the surface above it sometimes fixes it

first time didnt for me, second time yeah

[inland ermine]

In my case it just kinda had an un-diggable surface around itself

At least from all angles above it

Did not want to waste the time digging everything around

[summer lantern]

What are squadrons good for?

[vital estuary]

They add a bit of immersion, but don't really do much in the way of damage.
Sometimes they actually get in the way.

[summer lantern]

So it's for pirate/ship combat, basically?

Also, just how many words does each of the main languages have?

[vital estuary]

Combat, yes.

[left bobcat]

🤣🤣

I wish I could find more mountain planets. I found one once with HUGE mountains. Not tiny NMS mountains, but HUGE mountains

[vital estuary]

I don't remember all the numbers but one had 930 words.
Atlas 200+

You get a message "Learned nothing new" when you max one out.

[summer lantern]

Geez, (story spoiler) ||a guy had trouble with the realization he wouldnt explore every planet in the universe|| and then there's this bombshell of a task

[paper yew]

What content actually works with shared rewards in multiplayer?

[inland ermine]

Shared rewards as in, per se, instanced loot in containers?

Client-sided?

[paper yew]

Meaning that when playing with a friend in the same place, that we can both claim the reward. I noticed a lot of containers are loot once and a lot of interactions are loot once.

[left bobcat]

Which economy type will I make the most money selling first spawn relics in? Picked some up just now

[inland ermine]

I know for a fact, Derelict Freighters

[vital estuary]

Any non- outlaw it seems

[inland ermine]

Since we did that with a friend 2 days ago

[left bobcat]

Hell yeah

[inland ermine]

Anything except for Shuttle Wreck and breakable specimen containers is client-sided loot

Every locker, container and, most importantly, every terminal

Which means only one person needs the SOS scanner

The others can just tag along for free

[left bobcat]

Plus 162 percent value 💀💀

Bought for 800k and sold for 2 mil

[paper yew]

What does inviting an NPC to a squad do?

[devout snow]

Adds him and his ship to the squad

[paper yew]

What does that do? Just for firefights?

[inland ermine]

Pretty much

I mean he'll folllow you everywhere you call'em

But I didn't find any other use for them

[paper yew]

Do they fight sentinels and stuff?

[vital estuary]

Only other ships, so ground combat they won't be a part of.

[main stone]

If I'm going to fabricate a ship in the shipyard, how do i optimize SC slots? Is there a tool that will tell me if i use these wings, this thruster, this body, i will get these SC slots?

[bleak ruin]

guys whats the use of falcium

[tacit smelt]

what can i do with salvaged scrap? like the golden eggs and the wheathered brown looking things?

[main stone]

It's used in a number of recipes, you can always get more when you need it if you're early on and running out of space.

I reference this wiki for that kinda stuff https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Faecium

[bleak ruin]

alright thanks

[main stone]

The artifacts, if that's what you're referencing, can be sold, and sometimes donated to guilds inside space stations for standing.

[left bobcat]

What's another way to get walker brains without killing a walker?

[novel bone]

They can be an outlaw mission reward

[summer lantern]

can someone remind me what can i do with the destroyed freighters i encounter mid-pulse?

[left bobcat]

Anything else? 😭

[vital estuary]

Usually not much, other than look for a couple cargo pods near them or possibly pirates that pop up and attack.

[vital estuary]

On rare occasions you can get them from a robotic type NPC that is near a crashed sentinel interceptor, but that is rather infrequent.
Chances are that to find one you would have to also have beaten a sentinel carrier and get a carrier AI fragment to locate one such ship, and the odds of the npc behind it having a walker brain is low.

[left bobcat]

😭

[vital estuary]

Were you having trouble with the walker spawning underground?

[left bobcat]

I was having trouble surviving till the 5th wave lol

[vital estuary]

Yeah it can be a little rough starting out, working on getting weapon upgrades will help a lot, may have to check a few different stations but can find good upgrade modules for your main weapon.

[left bobcat]

Fuck it. I turned multiplayer on, went to the anomaly, and asked for donations. A very very very kind traveler gave me one lol

Thank you, RobotGorillaMan, I hope we meet again

[vital estuary]

The community is pretty nice on this game for the most part, always going to be some exceptions but most are willing to help.
Glad to hear you were able to get one.

[left bobcat]

Thanks! And yes back when I first started I even had someone give me a couple mil of credits (and I didn't even ask).

[graceful wigeon]

For some reason scanning certain things or creatures is like crash roulette and I’m not sure how to fix it

Reloading the game doesn’t seem to help and this wasn’t a problem a few days ago

I also changed my graphics settings to the lowest to see if that would help but sadly it did not

[tame bane]

This guy randomly gave me 300 salvaged data.

[left bobcat]

Oh damn 👀

[haughty tusk]

Can you get different exosuits like you can get different multitools/ships with more slots?

[devout snow]

Only cosmetics, not for extra slots

[haughty tusk]

I gotta upgrade it by finding those upgrade thingies on planets?

Or any other way?

[bitter crypt]

every space station, and the anomaly, also sells inventory slots

[bleak ruin]

guys how do i get a harmonic brain

[haughty tusk]

ah ok ty

[wet sigil]

When you took the brain out of the interceptor, there should be a quest marker that brings you to an alien ruin, follow it and follow the prompt

You might need to interact with the brain in the inventory first

[bleak ruin]

i did

but it didnt scan

@wet sigil

[wet sigil]

Did you find a crashed interceptor before hand?

[bleak ruin]

yea

im right next to it

[wet sigil]

Did you interact with it and take all of the 'junk' out of it?

Which should include a hyaline brain

[bleak ruin]

yea

i got the hyaline brain
