[tame bane]

ty

I got the aeron turbo jet :D

is that it now?

[analog scroll]

Now you can warp somewhere and start the Autophage mission

If you warp into a freighter battle, warp again

[stuck berry]

If you also have the primary mission "New Beginnings" then your next warp via starship that isn't interrupted by a freighter battle begins "They Who Returned" yeah

[tame bane]

do i need to locate any dissonance spikes?

[analog scroll]

Not for this mission, that's to find a sentinel interceptor

[tame bane]

alrighty

[tame bane]

okay cool that's what i have

i got the free multi tool too

[rancid helm]

if i purschase a corvette part will i need to purschase it multiple times for every single one i wanna place

or do i purschase the part once and i can place it till i reach build cap?

[alpine blaze]

How do I interact with this thing?

[tame bane]

Okay so how do I get Atlantideum now?

[wet sigil]

On any dissonant planet, the purple crystals

[gray shoal]

U should get a promt when geting near

[alpine blaze]

I dont

[stuck berry]

What does the mission tell you to do in the lower right?

[alpine blaze]

I should talk to a autophage which isnt present

[stuck berry]

Can you show a screenshot of what it says exactly? If it's to turn in a mission, try speaking to all of them

if that doesn't prompt the "turning in mission" screen, you can turn in these missions at the mission board aboard space stations

[wind dust]

bro how far do i gotta go

distance too far for estimate

im 40 mins away now

[wet sigil]

You can use your starship, go into upper atmosphere, then aim your ship at the marker and pulse

[wind dust]

i gotta find an inverted mirror

with my scanner or smth

like holding df

f

[stuck berry]

Possibly try seeking them on a different dissonant planet, as extremely mountainous ones will struggle to spawn them

[wind dust]

the interceptor is on this planet tho

[alpine blaze]

do you speak german?

[stuck berry]

You can use an inverted mirror from any planet

[alpine blaze]

im to lazy to change the language settings

[wind dust]

idk how to find them

[stuck berry]

Oh, I can just use image translation

[tame bane]

okay, so I learnt all the purple words by giving the crystal stuff at the altar thing the aphogee gave me

what now?

[stuck berry]

Just point your analysis visor, they are meant to be somewhat common, common enough to see one using it from nearly any point on the planet

[wind dust]

oh what

so js go to the nearest planet?

[rancid helm]

?

[stuck berry]

Continue progressing the mission

[wind dust]

it says look for a dissonance resonator

[stuck berry]

No, go to a different dissonant planet

[wind dust]

balright idk where that is

[stuck berry]

There are trillions of them, but there may not be another one in this current syste,

[alpine blaze]

Here you go

[wind dust]

if i leave and continue the story line will it stay

[stuck berry]

Star systems that have dissonant worlds in them have the word "Dissonant" on them

[wind dust]

oh fire

[stuck berry]

I asked for the mission hint in the lower right, not the log

[alpine blaze]

ok

[stuck berry]

Yeah, you should just have to speak to one of the autophage lifeforms there, or turn the mission in at the mission board at any space station

[alpine blaze]

k

[alpine blaze]

Thanks forgot that i can do that

[tame bane]

what happens if you present a wonder to the atlas interface?

[rancid helm]

guys if i have/buy a corvette part will it be infinite of that part or do i have to buy each one

[wind dust]

so i killed the thing i needed to but my inv was full

so i got nothiing

do i gotta find a new one

[frail osprey]

Since the ship fabricator varies stats for each system does anyone have any good coords for one?

[alpine blaze]

Also why when you save a freighter and you already have one do you have to pay to get the new one?

and is there a way to sell the old one?

[analog scroll]

If you choose to take the new one, yes

[analog scroll]

You trade the old for the new

[alpine blaze]

Jeah

[analog scroll]

You can't afford it

[alpine blaze]

but why do I have to pay for the free freighter!?

[analog scroll]

It's not free if you already have one

[alpine blaze]

and is there a way to sell freighters?

[analog scroll]

The only free freighters in the game are the very first one you rescue and accept (as long as you haven't purchased one already), and outlaw freighters when you meet the requirements for those

[rain raft]

Why do my exosuit hazard protection nodules keep overloading?

[analog scroll]

You can only have 3 upgrades of each type

[rain raft]

Why?

[analog scroll]

Because that's what the devs decided when they coded the upgrade system

[kind niche]

do i need all the diverent hyperdrives or just the highest tier?

[analog scroll]

Just the highest one

[fading oar]

What is this jetpack and how to get it?

[analog scroll]

Aquarius backpack from expedition 15 is what it looks like to me

[rain raft]

I got a blueprint for a dream Ariel in a frigate expedition what is it?

[spring whale]

Are the ancient ruin peices in the catalog somewhere? I cant them. I just want to know how many there are.

[severe crown]

From the wiki:

Dream Aerial is a curiosity used to locate Organic Frigates.
So if you got the blueprint, I guess you can make one now and locate a living frigate.

[stuck berry]

Yes, in the building parts > exotic stuff

[rain raft]

What do I need to get a living frigate?

[stuck berry]

A Dream Aerial

(for your first one)

[rain raft]

No other items?

[stuck berry]

You might need units, but I forget if the first one is free or not

[rain raft]

What’s the usual rarity?

[stuck berry]

Following living frigates require use of an Anomaly Detector instead

[hallow fractal]

do i need to finish these to get to the purple drive part?

[stuck berry]

With your first one, very common pulse event

[spring whale]

Aha! There they are. Thanks dude.

[stuck berry]

Once you finish They Who Returned, you should soon get the pulse event that begins In Stellar Multitudes which is the mission that unlocks purple star systems #nms-commands message

[tame bane]

What happens after you complete the first Autophage mission?

[hallow fractal]

have i finished they who returned, though?

[stuck berry]

Do you mean after completing the entirety of They Who Returned, or just the first small thing they task you with

[hallow fractal]

it points me to two other missions

[stuck berry]

You have not, as it's still there.

[stuck berry]

Do those then. The next step of They Who Returned is to have those done.

[hallow fractal]

thanks

[untold cove]

why is photomode so terrible

[stuck berry]

Set GTAO to anything except off

in Options > Display & Graphics

[untold cove]

you talking to me? lol

replying before i even asked 😹

[stuck berry]

The images were enough

[untold cove]

haha, amazing

gtao is causing fps drops like crazy

[stuck berry]

Possibly restart after changing graphics settings

[untold cove]

going from 110 fps to 40 all of a sudden and i have to restart the game

[livid kayak]

Yeah, restart the game after any graphical settings edit. It's buggy

[stuck berry]

and also, you could report to Hello Games that GTAO = Off disables lighting in Photo Mode

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[untold cove]

i turned it off the other day and it made it so much better

not gonna turn it back on just for photomode, but ty

[vital scarab]

how do i get emeril for the emeril drive?

[untold cove]

emeril requires cadmium

[vital scarab]

i have cadmium

[stuck berry]

Then use that to install the Emeril Drive.

[untold cove]

then make it

[stuck berry]

The Emeril Drive requires 250 Cadmium

[vital scarab]

no emeril?

[stuck berry]

Correct.

[livid kayak]

not emeril. yes

[vital scarab]

oh wait i need emeril for something else

my bad

i need it for

the novae reclaimant

[stuck berry]

Emeril only comes from green star systems, so it would be extremely complicated to get it without the drive

[livid kayak]

You'll get Emeril from green solar systems. Spectral class "E" on your galaxy map

[vital scarab]

alright thanks for the help

[hushed saffron]

Do frigate expeditions ever return with stellar metals?

[stuck berry]

Mainly activated ones I think

[livid kayak]

Yeah, and maybe chromatic

if i recall correctly

[warped valve]

um, how do I get more tech slots for my corvette? Currently the shields, weapons etc. are occupying every slot and I want to upgrade the hyperdrive, get recharging thrusters and water landing gear

[livid kayak]

same way as you get more slots for your regular space ship. You can use the Storage Augmentation, or buy new slots on the station

just make sure you're clicking on the free space in your tech area, while upgrading those slots

the game might default to enlarging your cargo sometimes

[warped valve]

oh lol I can use storage augmentation to get more tech slots?

thanks!

[livid kayak]

Ofcourse. You know, those ones:

[hallow fractal]

what's up with settlers?

is it one quest per galaxy?

[tame bane]

I feel like every time I do frigate missions they get damaged

it's annoying fixing all of them

[livid kayak]

We can have up to 4 settlements, all in the same galaxy if you wish

[hallow fractal]

my first ever settlement mission had no npcs

and it is bricked

any way to fix that?

[livid kayak]

Well, if that's the case, go to your settlement admin terminal and abandon it

you can buy a chart and get a new one

[hallow fractal]

i see

are all settlements gek?

[livid kayak]

nah, you can have all the races in them

[vital scarab]

a galaxy with a type that has a letter E is a green one right?

[livid kayak]

Yeah

[vital scarab]

thanks

[hallow fractal]

k, thanks

[livid kayak]

Make sure you never send them on a mission which has a higher star rating (difficulty) than your fleet, and you should be good

[tame bane]

It's usually the same or lower and they always come back damaged

it's annoying as hell trying to repair like 6 of them

[livid kayak]

shouldn't be the case if the expedition rating is lower

[tame bane]

what if you send multiple

doesn't matter?

because I have like a s tier one that got damaged iirc

on like a 2 or 3 star mission

[livid kayak]

the class of your frigate doesn't matter, you only need to check those two parameters:

[tame bane]

okay gotcha

[livid kayak]

The Difficulty rating cannot be higher than your Fleet rating

[tame bane]

how are you only using 200 fuel

for 5 ships

and industrial = mining ships?

[livid kayak]

that's not my screenshot

and you can have frigate with less fuel consumption, it's one of their stats.

[tame bane]

right okay

ill look into that more when i complete the story

i've almost finished the aphophage stuff

[livid kayak]

Understandable, Have fun 🙂

[vital scarab]

is indium in blue star systems?

[livid kayak]

Yes

[vital scarab]

thanks

[livid kayak]

this table might come in handy @vital scarab

[untold cove]

is there a quest that takes me to purple systems, im 200 hours into my new playthrough and i still havent gone there

[willow flame]

If I find someone with spare aeron corvette parts and they give me them does it unlock them for me?

[willow flame]

Yeah

Forgot the name but it is a specific quest that unlocks them

[livid kayak]

it probably won't unlock the blueprint, but you should be able to duplicate them

[willow flame]

Wdym duplicate?

Didn't realise you could do that

[livid kayak]

Using portable refiners. Simply put an item inside, then create a second portable refiner and try to place it so it overlaps the first one, as closely as possible, then remove both refiners and you should have 2 copies of your desired item now

[untold cove]

Cool, but I don't even see "they who returned" in my log anymore

[livid kayak]

Should show up after you complete step 1 and 2

and use your pulse engine

[willow flame]

Would I be able to use an infinite amount of them if I did a creative mode slot? Cuz that's what I do ship building on since it means I don't have limitations when making

[livid kayak]

yeah, but if you don't have a blueprint, you still need to duplicate or mod the game

[livid kayak]

There it is - In Stellar Multitudes. You need to continue this one

[willow flame]

Wait so would I be able to or not

[untold cove]

Ty

[willow flame]

Srry I'm tired so I'm getting confused easily 😅

[livid kayak]

It's fine. If you don't have the blueprint unlocked on that particular save, you won't be able to get infinite copies of the item, even on creatvie mode. That's basically what i meant 🙂

[willow flame]

Oooh okay

Ty

[livid kayak]

No problem, cheers

[keen sluice]

am i able to own a dreadnaught? if so, how do i get one?

[formal veldt]

shoot the shield generators, fuel cells and warp drives before they destroy the civilian capital ship

and there's a few nice videos on youtube on how to efficiently do that

[keen sluice]

okay, thanks! what ship type do you suggest for it?

[formal veldt]

I'm a big fan of fighters with an infra-knife

with 3x S-class upgrades, and the B-class blueprint, the infraknife cuts straight through them before you even expend half of your shield buffer

[keen sluice]

i have one with the sails with these stats:
500 dmg
304 shield
870 hyperdrive
1255 mobility

i decided to only upgrade that because it reminds me of the N1 starfighter

[formal veldt]

if you hover over your Photon cannon (and/or other weapons) you'll see more detailed stats for your weapons

[keen sluice]

my photon cannon is the best

[formal veldt]

I would be more comfortable if you first looked into getting 3 shield upgrades and 3 photon cannon upgrades, preferably all S-class, should you be able to afford them

[keen sluice]

thanks for the help

[formal veldt]

good hunting

[keen sluice]

thanks

[vital scarab]

for the atlas eternal quest, how many atlas interfaces do i have to go to to give discoveries?

[distant fox]

anyone know if the cargo box is actually usable on corvettes?

[tropic ginkgo]

should be 10 interfaces, each teaching you an item recipe for something you'll need to complete the next step
Atlas Eternal doesn't have an end ("eternal") and will forever stay in your log

[vital scarab]

so I finished that part of the main story? I dont have to do anything else for the atlas quests?

from my understanding the atlast eternal quest is a neverending quest?

thanks mate

[still root]

Do the multi tools at harmonic camps fall under the category of the atlantid varient?

[signal cedar]

no, those are the Sentinel type multi-tools

[still root]

Thank you

For the atlantid, does the runic lens count as the mining laser then? I see I can install the normal mining laser, thats why Im asking

[swift sand]

installing mining beam on the side of runic lens/hijacked laser will just buff them even more

it's one of the reasons how sentinels can get to have very reputable mining performance, despite that low innate bonus compared to atlantid

[still root]

Hm, what should I supercharge? Should I do the lens/mining beam/optical laser, or do more tangible benefits come from the purchasable upgrades?

[swift sand]

well, if resource harvesting was your goal then you'd certainly want optical drill SC'd. if damage/etc was your primary goal then you'd SC 2 modules. in both cases you'd SC RL and MB

[hushed saffron]

2 questions:

1. if you discover a planet will it always register under your name regardless of which save it is and the type of save?
2. i believe the answer is yes, but if you discover a planet but don't upload it, then someone else discovers it, names it, and uploads it, will it be registered under the second person's name?

[willow flame]

Is there anyway to save aeron pieces? Because when I delete them from the build I don't get them back in my inventory

[still root]

If you upload the planet/s, I think it does hold your name forever, if you move on without uploading, I believe it doesn't save and resets to being unmapped

[swift sand]

1. should yes
2. correct

[still root]

Saying this because I'm near the core of a galaxy, and I'm seeing other peoples usernames

[swift sand]

(until it literally gets deleted from our save file, to make space for new discoveries)

[swift sand]

yeah, core regions are much more likely to have lots of already visited systems

[willow flame]

Does anyone know?

[keen sluice]

am i able to upgrade a dreadnaught to s class at all?

[swift sand]

this happens because of difficulty settings; if crafting isnt free, you should get them in your inventory when you delete them

[swift sand]

cant class upgrade freighter manually

[still root]

Thats because spamming the rising sun glyph will always bring you to the core of every galaxy, yes? I've seen several people mention it on youtube

[keen sluice]

brooo so i ditched my s class freighter for a dreadnaught 😭

[swift sand]

yep yep

[willow flame]

Why is that?

[swift sand]

because crafting=free makes it so you never spend resources to craft/build, therefore no resources to refund

has that "side effect" with corvette parts that can be crafted though

[willow flame]

Oh I see

That makes sense

Ty

[swift sand]

s-class freighter is really only a thing to aim for if you wanted to make a max warp range build, or really needed to upgrade to 120 cargo

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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

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

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

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[keen sluice]

my entire base is mobile, so it's kinda needed 💀

[still root]

Is it especially rare to find the s class supercharge slots all neatly tucked together in a square?

[swift sand]

a higher class freighter wont have a bigger base build area and summoning freighter never uses fuel though. but i understand wanting one. well, you'll certainly have more opportunities later on

[swift sand]

yeah

[keen sluice]

the freighter was my main storage. are there any strategies to get a higher class spawn rate?

[hallow fractal]

any way to make nights a little less dark?

everything is black constantly

so annoying

[swift sand]

class drop chance is affected by system economy tier, so the best you could do was to farm a freighter in an outlaw system (highest drop chance for s-class, 5%)

[still root]

Pirate systems have a 5% chance of giving S class's, and since you want a dreadnaut, it should be really easy to do the restore point strategy. Do you know what that is?

[keen sluice]

not at all

[swift sand]

ime not all planets are that dark at night, but tbh, i do prefer darker nights than what we had before, when they were super bright

[hallow fractal]

idk man, it's extremely annoying to not see anything at all

and to not have night vision tech is a huge blunder

[swift sand]

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[swift sand]

i agree that having better tools for night time/storm exploration would be nice 😄 feel free to submit suggestions to the devs ofc

[hallow fractal]

do they actually care about suggestions?

[swift sand]

sure

plenty of things we have now, we suggested them

case in point: corvettes: lots of people wanted to have a ship they could transport friends in

[still root]

For freighters, you can travel to a system you know has a dreadnaut, finish the battle, enter the dreadnaut, use the Visor to quickly see which class it is, and if it isn't an S class, you can go to options and press restore point, and it will take you back to your last restore point.

You can then once again travel to that dreadnaut system, fight, rinse and repeat. This is because the class of freighters from those battles gets rerolled every time you jump, so enough times of repeating that, will eventually land you an S class

Thats the quickest strategy to obtaining at least S class freighters

[keen sluice]

thankss for the help

[still root]

@swift sand Does the S class restore point trick work for other things like multi tools?

[swift sand]

nah, class is fixed per cabinet

or in sentinel pillar's case, fixed per planet

[still root]

I see, so it basically only affects freighter?

[swift sand]

yeah, because the class is rerolled every time the event is spawned

[still root]

Makes sense, although nowadays you can just upgrade the class of everything else

[alpine epoch]

what does this symbol indicate?

[tulip dust]

@alpine epoch see post below

[bleak escarp]

is this just for selling?

[still root]

I heard that, excluding frigates, pure S class from the start has better stats than upgrading something to A class, is that true?

[swift sand]

this item is actually useless. someone added this via a save editor, and then transferred it to you, but there's no way for us to use these items. just discard.

[bleak escarp]

oh that make sense

thanks

[still root]

It is amusing though, but I wonder what the point was lol

[glossy moth]

i cant talk to the nexus why is that?

[swift sand]

1. for strongest results on living frigates they should be hired at s-class
2. not always. there were some cases with multitools (that really only would matter to people who wants the absolute max stats), but ships have no such thing

[swift sand]

hmm, is this a new save?

[glossy moth]

no im fairly new to the game i started about a week ago. it says it rejected my input

its says im not authorized

[mystic lake]

is there a way to quick plant biodomes

[still root]

Does SC terrain manipulator do anything?

[swift sand]

i'd say that you need to progress the space anomaly mission a bit more. also, what's the name of the primary mission in your log, that's not the atlas path or the space anomaly?

[glossy moth]

alone amidst the stars

[swift sand]

can you elaborate a bit more?

[glossy moth]

artemis the explorer

[swift sand]

select the space anomaly, exit mission Log, wait for the mission hint to pop lower right of the screen, what does it want you to do?

[mystic lake]

its just a bit tedious to plant everything in the biodomes. Was wondering if there was a fast way

don't know why I typed planet instead of plant

[glossy moth]

tells me to speak with nada

[dreamy gyro]

Guys so I didn't play this game too much and probably won't until I get a better pc so it's more playable and I was wondering, will I still get to experience all this new content, or are the coolest parts time limited so I'll miss out?

[glossy moth]

wait

i just did the mission and i cna speak to the nexu

[swift sand]

well, this would only really work for plants native to that biome (see image), or if you had a base building mod that ignores the biome restrictions (in which case you wouldnt need to bury the dome)

[mystic lake]

that wouldn't work in my case unfortunately

thanks though

[swift sand]

yes, since you'll be on pc, you'll be able to experience it all - if you wanted to unlock the old expedition corvette parts, there's more than 1 way to do that (officially, you'd have to wait for the devs to bring them back)

[swift sand]

yeah, other more specific setups would just probably be too slow still

[valid dragon]

is there a place to buy ship parts or do I just have to salvage them from ships I find?

[gentle gate]

how do i delete this?

[swift sand]

fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail parts must be acquired from salvaging ships for customization modules yeah

[swift sand]

might be able to delete it when on a base, did you try that already? also, what platform are you on?

[gentle gate]

pc its on a corvette and 1800u away from the ship

[still root]

Does the hijacked laser cause significant damage to enemies, or is it like purely for mining?

[swift sand]

if you're on pc, this would be easy and fast to fix using a save editor (simply find that parts id in the json editor, confirm that it's on a corvette base layout code, and delete it - but there's probably also some mod that would let you phase through station walls to delete it

[swift sand]

these days, just for mining

[vernal nacelle]

i recently completed the main quest about a week ago, and is the way to get to a diffrent galixy simpily to head to the galactic centere?

[gentle gate]

can i do that without a save edditor like just going into the files or no?

[livid kayak]

What? How did it end up that far away?

[swift sand]

i can guide you how to use the save editor to do this if you'd like

[gentle gate]

building while pulsing

[livid kayak]

ah, i see

[vernal nacelle]

um, hello?

[gentle gate]

im sure theres something on youtube so i dont waste your time

[swift sand]

you can goto other galaxies by core warping yes, or using the anomaly teleporter to goto other player bases in diff galaxies, or even just get taxied to a diff galaxy

[vernal nacelle]

simple enough

[mystic lake]

so I have this base with about 120 biodomes and often times stuff deloads and I clip through the ground

I've been using glass floor and was wondering if thats contributing to it

[mystic lake]

like all the missing biodomes actually exist in the image, they've just not loaded in.

[swift sand]

glass is expensive in terms of processing power

[mystic lake]

I have no frame issues

[swift sand]

but plants themselves are also causing more usage

personally, i'd probably suggest splitting this into multiple smaller bases

[mystic lake]

bit late for that

[swift sand]

this ofc, assuming you have base complexity on/set to ultra if pc

[mystic lake]

ah thats set to enhanced

increasing this should help everything load up better?

[swift sand]

i hope so yeah, but it might cost you on fps

[mystic lake]

yeah its taking a hit

and replacing the glass should help right?

frame wise

[swift sand]

if there's glass parts you're using you dont need then i'd also recommend taking them out

[mystic lake]

or is that negligible

[swift sand]

the glass floors you mean?

[mystic lake]

yeah

[swift sand]

yeah, that's a lot of glass. is it worse during day time perhaps?

[mystic lake]

night actually

[swift sand]

hmm

yeah, some of those reflections - i figured it might be worse during daytime because sun

what do you have reflections set to btw?

[mystic lake]

everythings on enhanced except base complexity

frames slightly improved when i turned it on standard

[swift sand]

hmm yeah, sounds like you'd really benefit from smaller bases overall. yeah, i'd start replacing some of those floors etc, in an attempt to gain headroom for plants

[mystic lake]

appreciate the help

[tawdry urchin]

why is there marker on the center beacon thingy

i did recently defeat bio-horror infest raid

in the last 20min

and i crashed.. 😭

[swift sand]

yeah, not sure, i end up having to go use the settlement admin terminal anyway

[livid kayak]

it's some kind of bug, i've seen it a couple of times after the raid aswell

it will disappear on its own

[tawdry urchin]

aight

every crash steam like: lets verify

[livid kayak]

So how often are you crashing?

By the way, the Autophage settlement can produce some additional items, that a regular setttlement cannot. Are there any differences between the Gek/Korvax/Vykeen, when it comes to possible production outputs?

[hallow fractal]

so, how do i galaxy hop without breaking stuff?

[gray shoal]

Take a taxi

[hallow fractal]

i guess it's using a teleporter, but how exactly

[tawdry urchin]

this is the only game that steam does this.. and almost every session, probably every 3 or so maybe 4 🤷🏼

[gray shoal]

Every race has few items they can produce in settlements. Thats why i have 1 for each race

[livid kayak]

Yeah that's way too much, something is surely up

[tawdry urchin]

think a reinstall would fix?

[livid kayak]

It's worth a try, but i think something more fundamental might need a fix

[balmy adder]

No error code if it crashes ?

[mystic lake]

I'm making a statis device farm and was wondering if its worth growing any more plants besides the ones needed to craft it

like is there a reason to grow sac venom

[gray shoal]

Depends on your needs. U can plant more if u want it for makeing something.

[mystic lake]

is there any reason I'd need other crops though

like in mass amounts

[gray shoal]

Cooking maybe

[mystic lake]

I only need 6 floors and I have 8 atm

and its somewhat laggy so I was wondering whether its worthwhile getting rid of two

or whether i should keep it and grow something else since I have them built anyways

[gray shoal]

This is mine plant farm. - the plants on planets specific biome

I can make 65 SD with them

[mystic lake]

that design is a lot better than mine 🤦‍♂️

[gray shoal]

I have good system. All bases for sd farm in 1 system

I have hundreds of frost crystals in 1 dome on cold planet

[mystic lake]

do you find that you have to make SD often?

good to hear

[gray shoal]

I already did most of things that require a lot of cash

When i feel like i want to burn cash. I can.

With 65 SD it makes 1 bil.

Back in the day we used act indium

[mystic lake]

ah

do you use farms for radon

or from mutant plants

[gray shoal]

I have deposit for radon

I have mineral + gas farms bases

Saves some time on gathering/ refining

[stoic oak]

Guys anyone know what's the best way to power a 27 drills without an energy hotspot near?

[mystic lake]

52 solar panels and 27 batteries

btw you get diminishing returns if you connect them all in the same system

it starts after about 1k/h

[stoic oak]

got it

[stoic oak]

ye

thanks

uh guys I was refining chromatic metal in my freighter

why am I refining nanites now with tainted metals?

I refined tainted metals a week ago

where did my 30k chromatic metals go 💔

[lost jay]

if i unlock a color for my freighter, do i keep it unlocked if i change the ship?

[mystic lake]

I read somewhere that freighter refiners glitch out when you leave them or move them to different systems

[lost jay]

omg wtf why did the command bridge color didn't change

that was a waste of nanites

[tiny vortex]

and dont even try applying colors to a Drednought Type lol

[mystic lake]

how many parts can a corvette have max

[crisp rune]

Anyone know how I get past this mission? Genuinly dont know what to do.

[mystic lake]

I think you go to a teleporter and go through space stations until you find one with the mission logo on it

[crisp rune]

I only have one station unlocked tho I just started

[unique hare]

I believe it's 100!

[mystic lake]

100! is quite a lot

[unique hare]

But you can add decorations above that not sure how many decorations can top the 100 built parts

[mystic lake]

oh nice

[lost jay]

why is that

[swift sand]

no limit to decorations on corvette other than the save wide parts limit (21k) afaik

[nova wyvern]

What do you need help with?

Oh

[swift sand]

1. sounds like you played this mission/mission before in a group?

[crisp rune]

I am stuck on this quest and cannot figure out what to do. Should I go to another planet or what?

[nova wyvern]

Go into the pause menu and to the log tab, there may be a reset mission button

If there isn't use your ship to go into space and check other star systems in the galaxy map

[crisp rune]

No i dont see that

ok let me try that

[crisp rune]

I still can't find anything

[nova wyvern]

What does your log say?

Can you screenshot it and put it here?

[hallow fractal]

do staves have some interaction with the atlas?

[swift sand]

when in space, open ship quick menu - can you even hyperdrive i.e. galaxy map?

just to make sure

[mental oxide]

im playing coop with my friend and i cant trade materials, how do i trade in this game?

[swift sand]

approach other player, open inventory, cursor over item, press quick transfer

@mental oxide about playing quests in groups
-# to view info below, enable embeds

⚠️ No Man's Sky - Doing Quests in a group

Playing in a group can cause one or more players to experience issues or bugs when progressing quests, such as the main Storyline. Some of these issues are listed below.

• Waypoints not appearing on the HUD;
• Waypoints moving or jumping planets when you get close;
• Destinations being thousands of lightyears away;
• Quest destinations fail to provide the correct dialogs for the current stage;
• Primary ship getting accidentally reskinned to a different ship;
• Getting trapped on the other side of a portal;
• Getting trapped in a star system without access to both an hyperdrive or a teleporter/Space Station.

Some of the above issues can be difficult or even impossible to fix with just in game steps. Already having access to the Space Anomaly can help in some cases, but it's generally best to ignore quest progression when playing in a group.

📖 Did you know? Also known as The Artemis Path, the main Storyline was implemented before Multiplayer came to be a thing. It is intended to be run solo.

[crisp rune]

no I dont

[swift sand]

yep. you most likely were playing/joined a friend at some point, and your mission is now basically somewhere near the location where they were. suggestion: either start a new save (it's basically still in the first mission), or wait for that friend to come back online, join them again, hopefully in the same system you were playing before

[hallow fractal]

will this break my stuff?

[mental oxide]

thanks

[swift sand]

playing they who returned, there will be an interaction with atlas yeah

[swift sand]

portals never damage our stuff

[maiden bloom]

yall im curious how can i do old expeditions

[hallow fractal]

k, thanks

[crisp rune]

Ok thank you!

[swift sand]

there's a pinned post in #nms-modding

[maiden bloom]

[mental oxide]

does the game autosave or do i have to go somewhere first

[slender raven]

there's occasionally autosave, but you can also save restore point at save beacons, save points, waypoints, or when exiting your ship

[swift sand]

the game does autosave on some occasions, but also every minute if you've moved recently. that said, there's another save slot you have more control of, which is the restore point save slot. you shouldnt neglect updating restore point just because you have an auto save. see this post <#nms-commands message>

[hallow fractal]

how does handing in data work? when does it reset? what if i don't hand in today's data?

[blazing tusk]

It auto saves frequently. But you can also make manual saves everytime you exit your ship or interact with a save beacon

[nova wyvern]

Auto saves a bit, but just getting out of your ship creates a save point

[swift sand]

you mean to Ares in the anomaly for example?

[hallow fractal]

yes

[mental oxide]

when can i build my own ship a 2 person

[swift sand]

think that's once per day right, and i dont think it stacks to the next day but i've not tried it myself recently

[swift sand]

you mean corvette ship type? as soon as you have access to the space stations, and when you either got the cash to buy basic parts to build the corvette (you can farm and add more parts to it later), or you farm parts from various loot sources e.g. salvageable scrap planets

[inland ermine]

A corvette? As soon as you get onto your first space station. Although it is not cheap (4-6mil for basic parts) so I'd advise looking for planets with Salvageable Scrap status and trying your luck getting some parts there

[inland ermine]

Aaaah beat me to it

[swift sand]

can type !faq-corvettes in #nms-commands for more infos and details

[nova wyvern]

Bk is fast

[dense rock]

Some suggestion's? I wanna make this look's more stable. Still this is too high for any good looking column

[swift sand]

#nms-base-building might be a better channel for this

[fresh cloud]

How do i place corvette modules at an angle? Like certain wing parts being placed to face at an angle instead of straight forwards?

[left bobcat]

whats happening here? how does my ship get more range than the upgrade suggests. will all 3 hyperdrive upgrades i get 1700 ly. my sentinel ship starts with 600 ly vs 180 for the squid, but doesnt max out as far

[swift sand]

i think there were quite a few pinned posts about rotation in #nms-corvette-discussion

[fresh cloud]

I searched through pins but couldnt find anything labeled on how to rotate modules at an angle other than 90 and 360

Nvm found it

[still root]

Is the atlantid multi tool supposed to never overheat?

[civic kestrel]

Hey so what exactly is the point of the starship teleport receiver if it only works within an extra few steps of the ship? If I go much further than this then I can't access my starship anymore

[swift sand]

supercharging the module buffs it, and also the way innate bonus is added to the calculation - sentinel ships only have like 10LY innate bonus, while exotics go up to 95 iirc

[swift sand]

heh, yeah, you'll be pressed hard to make it overheat

[swift sand]

extends inventory access range to 150u - yeah, it's no matter beam. it could probably use a buff. feel free to submit feedback to the devs

[civic kestrel]

Is there any way to get a further range? I remember modules that allow me to access my freighter cargo planetside but I'm not sure how to get those atm / if there's something similar for the starship

[still root]

Well I suppose that makes it extremely useful as a mining tool lol.

Does it always have like maximum boost, much like having an overheated multi tool deals more damage?

[left bobcat]

Oh damn wtf? I didn't know that

I do know about the supercharging buff but it still didn't add up

[swift sand]

not sure - i know from mine that they're really good miners, rocks dont stand a chance lol

[left bobcat]

Btw how do I unlock squadron spaces again?

[hallow fractal]

does it reset for everyone at the same time, or is it individual?

[swift sand]

per player yeah

[still root]

Hm, yea, I was just wondering because I was demolishing sizeable plants, as well as di-hydrogen deposits with my tool. I was using an A class rifle before and it wasnt nearly as quick or lucrative, so maybe its the difference between literally garbage and a shiny polished diamond?

I'm currently trying to get max fuel efficiency upgrades onto the tool, but the x class doesn't seem to want to get high fuel efficiency AND mining speed, so if the runic lense has damage boost similsr to overheating another MT, I would probably find the efficiency more useful

[swift sand]

rifle basically has no mining innate bonus - that helps atlantid tremendously by comparison. installing mining beam on the side just pushes it even further lol

[still root]

Yea, its a very drastic difference indeed. I think I would be lucky to get like 50 carbon with rifle on large plants. With atlantid, I can get 500 lmao

But yea, can X class mining upgrades get both great fuel efficiency and mining speed stats at the same time?

[swift sand]

note, the mining bonus doesn't affect, or shouldnt affect, mining yield - just the mining damage/speed

[swift sand]

not sure, sorry, i dont really do x-class a whole lot

[left bobcat]

How do I give my frigate orders?

Also I'm lost inside my frigate

[still root]

I opened like 50 technologies and it seems like 25% eff and 7% speed is the best I can achieve

[swift sand]

frigates cant be given orders really, they're basically sent on fleet expeditions by talking to the navigator

did you mean freighter?

[left bobcat]

Nah I meant frigate. Where do I find the navigator?

[swift sand]

freighter bridge, next to the hologram round table

[left bobcat]

Nvm

Oh thanks!

[vital scarab]

im really confused on how to get to the final atlas interface. Could someone help?

[still root]

Speaking of, are frigate types and colors specific to their systems?

[swift sand]

@vital scarab see <#nms-commands message>

[swift sand]

yep

well, raiding frigates always have the same color scheme

[sweet rampart]

Oh, I know this. Simply try to find a portal, enter all ones, and it tp's you about five jumps away from the core.

[vital scarab]

thank you @swift sand

[swift sand]

in this case, because it's the quest, there's no need. see that link i posted above

[blazing tusk]

All recruitable frigates in a system will have the same color scheme. And not all types may be available in every system

[sweet rampart]

oh ok

[still root]

If you find a good frigate/s and purchase it, if you return to the same system, will you be able to purchase the same frigates again?

[swift sand]

nah the stats that they roll with are randomized, according to frigate type

if we were talking living frigates obtained after the first one though, that'd be a diff story

[still root]

Okay, but the same designs and colors?

[swift sand]

yep

excluding LFs, there's only 1 design per frigate type, and then various color schemes (as mentioned, except raiding)

[still root]

So frigates only have 1 design, like the explorer will always be the explorer, trade always trade?

Like the models?

[swift sand]

always this 3d model for each of the types, but the color schemes (except raiding) vary per system

[fresh cloud]

Anyone have screenshots of NMS switch 2 edition with the tv output at 2k or 4k resolution?

[still root]

Some choice lol, but simple; nice. But otherwise, you said the stats and class will always be randomized everytime the respective frieghter fleet jumps in? Also, any caveats I should be aware of?

[swift sand]

personally, i'd just get frigates with less than 4 exps completed, and decently low fuel usage

[still root]

Whats a good fuel usage, and also, should I be looking for a specific peak of specs in C classes?

For example, I'm currently looking at a C industry frigate with 17 in mining

7t/250 Ly fuel efficiency

[swift sand]

• non supports min fuel is actually 8 - the 7 you're seeing is due to either fleet coordination freighter bonus or fleet fuel efficiency upgrade modules installed on your freighter; a bug.
• +17 at mining sounds good yeah. any negative traits on the left?

[sweet rampart]

wait we have raiding and industrial frigates?

[left bobcat]

Is it true there's only one crashed sentinel type in each system?

[swift sand]

raiding is like a combat frigate, just a diff skin

[sweet rampart]

oh ok

[sweet rampart]

how do u get it?

[swift sand]

per suitable dissonant system, yes - not all dissonant systems can have sentinel ship sites

[swift sand]

raiding frigates only spawn accompanying a pirate freighter, so only in freighter rescue battle events

[sweet rampart]

ok but like

[still root]

No, just 1 trait of +15 in industry

[sweet rampart]

I've gotten a dreadnought before

[left bobcat]

What??? They can't??? How can u tell which ones do?

[still root]

I found an explore frigate with +4 leaky fuel tubes though lol

[sweet rampart]

if u have a harmonic detector(I think that's what it's called) you can use it to check for crash sites I think

[swift sand]

in short cant tell completely from the galaxy map - so if you go to a gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system, and the only dissonant planet(s) in that system has gold or rusted metal on the list, then that system wont have sentinel ships

[swift sand]

yeah if we pop an echo locator and it fails, that means there's no sentinel ships in the system

[unborn brook]

When I visit a Korvax Monolith there is something i'm carrying on have acquired that triggers the Atlantid pedestal to appear ... and is it possible to take off to have that NOT happen

[left bobcat]

Thanks!

[left bobcat]

Ooooooo okay that has happened to me before

[swift sand]

would say "no harmonies detected"

[swift sand]

that pedestal usually only pops if i go close enough to it. you're saying that you're nowhere near enough, and it's still popping out of the ground?

[unborn brook]

I'm trying to get the Orcale title ... and when I do a Korvax Monolith on a non-dissonant planet I get Autophage credit for the Monolith ... and i'm wondering if that is keeping me back.

[swift sand]

"Orcale"?

oh, oracle

well, non dissonant isnt going to help, since all korvax monoliths have the discordant interface

but, you should be interacting with the main monolith terminal, not the discordant interface

[unborn brook]

correct

[swift sand]

a korvax monolith you never visited should never have any kind of autophage content when you interact with the main monolith terminal

ofc, you shouldnt be getting autophage standing from doing that either

[unborn brook]

I have every single lore item which counts up to either 18 or 19 and i've done about 5-10 more and i'm not getting the title.

[swift sand]

have you tried restarting the game?

[unborn brook]

its been going on a few days.

I don't get autophage content ... I get autophage standing at the end.

I think its the normal content.

[swift sand]

yeah, you shouldnt be getting anything autophage related

[quartz minnow]

Best way to find paradise?

[swift sand]

if you were to get standing, you'd get korvax standing or atlas words at most

[swift sand]

be in a lush type galaxy, focus on yellow star systems, use catalog to locate star bulb

@unborn brook sounds like a bug tbh

[quartz minnow]

They have atlas standing?

[swift sand]

or perhaps some mods?

[swift sand]

sorry shoot i meant atlas words lol

[unborn brook]

I don't mod or edit save files.

never have ... and probs never will.

[swift sand]

then bug yeah

[unborn brook]

so there isn't an item that we have that makes the atlantid interface appear or is that just a new base feature that everyone gets.

polyphonic core maybe?

[swift sand]

once we complete they who returned mission, all korvax monoliths have discordant interfaces visible, and they'll pop out of the ground to be interactd with when close enough to, similar to how portals are; once charged, they override monolith's default dialog to be autophage related

[unborn brook]

so DO NOT activate the pedestal before interacting with the Monolith is probably my issue then.

I'm also checking the pedestal for a hype gun

[swift sand]

yeah, if you're activating the discordant interface first, that's your problem. i mentioned this already actually

[unborn brook]

Thanks for working that out with me!

[vital scarab]

At the end of main story I decided to accept the atlas's offer. I kind of regret doing that. Is there a way to change my decision?

[unborn brook]

been driving me crazy.

[swift sand]

happy to help 🙂

[swift sand]

so you got new beginnings mission in your mission Log now? not if you cant reload back, it's a once per save decision - which normally people can't (too late when they ask already). in short, dont worry about it. if you're in a diff galaxy now, you can just teleport back to your bases etc. drop and claim a bse comp in the new galaxy if you want to be able to teleport back.

[vital scarab]

oh thats good

thanks

in the no mans sky spoiler channel can you tell me the galaxy options?

if you know them

[swift sand]

you mean what galaxy types there are, and how many galaxies there are?

[left bobcat]

Can u find crashed sentinels in dissonance uninhabitabed systems?

[quartz minnow]

no

[vital scarab]

i mean the galaxy options for the new beginnings quest

[quartz minnow]

Cause uninhabited means no autophage

No autophage no sentinel ship

[swift sand]

see this post <#nms-commands message>, this should do the trick, anything else just ask

[vital scarab]

thank you again

[still root]

@swift sand Did you say I want frigates that haven't done many encounters?

[left bobcat]

I attacked a station to get sentinels to attack me and immediately got 4 stars. How do I replicate that?

[swift sand]

yes, but harmonic camps arent the same as autophage camps. harmonic camps can appear in abandoned systems, but not in uncharted systems. a system that isn't dissonant can still have autophage camps

[vital scarab]

@swift sand do the main storyline quests get restarted?

[swift sand]

less than 4 exps completed yeah

[swift sand]

shoot the station again in a non outlaw system

shoot and keep shooting it till it escalates to lv4

[still root]

Why is this?

Level up quirks?

[swift sand]

@left bobcat if you want to go to lv5 - you'll want to fly away of the station to prevent the infinite sentinel ship spawn "bug"

[left bobcat]

So attack, fly away. Attack, fly away?

[swift sand]

basically, ensures that they'll get to s-class, and often ends up being stronger than s-class naturals

[swift sand]

what do you want to do?

spawn sentinel freighter?

[left bobcat]

Find crashed sentinels. But I think your advice to get to level 4 works

Yes spawn the freighter

[tacit smelt]

is there an extractor or harvester for di hydrogen?

or an easier way to get it?

[swift sand]

okay so do that - shoot the station till wanted level 4, fly away from it (dont pulse away, just boost away for like 10s or so) - sentinel ships will follow. take them out, keep taking them out till wanted level 5 triggers, sentinel freighter will spwn

[left bobcat]

Thanks!

[swift sand]

personally, since nutrient ingestor +resources mined buff, i dont mind getting dihydro from just crystals on a planet - but here's another advice, keep an eye on trade terminals and npc pilots - some of them sell dihydro jelly in bulk. buy it all, refine to dihydro

[tacit smelt]

aaaah, thx thx

[swift sand]

something like this @tacit smelt , just keep an eye out. and remember, trade terminals restock so

[tacit smelt]

got it

[swift sand]

sweet

dirt cheap too

[tacit smelt]

i got 500M, im chillin

[left bobcat]

Is it a bug that the ship preview in inventory doesn't show its current state? It always shows ships in flight as landed

[lost jay]

So help me understand something... if I want to craft my own startship in the future. Should I start saving parts from now?

[left bobcat]

Minor thing but it bugs me

[still root]

Can you find a system selling both tritium and dihy jelly?

[tacit smelt]

i think its random?

[swift sand]

i think i've only seen tritium on outlaw systems, but yes i think that's possible since i've also seen contraband agent npcs selling jelly

[swift sand]

you mean corvettes? well, if you wanted, you could farm a few parts every session, store them all in the workshop till you got enough to put a barebones ship together and start flying it, and upgrading it etc. can always add more parts to the ship later

[still root]

The successful encounters bar doesnt matter though does it?

[swift sand]

nope - just the number of completed expeditions

that's what controls the rankups

[lost jay]

no no i mean the small individual starships

[hard rover]

Is there a achievement for visiting all the galaxies?

[swift sand]

then while playing/doing other things, you can probably go like "oh there's a fighter that has the wings i wanted to use for my own fighter - but i dont have the time/patience/cash rn". drop and claim a base computer in the system, rename it to something easy to remember, come back later

[left bobcat]

@swift sand thanks I got 10 interceptors on me 💀 I just upgraded my guns thankfully.......

[swift mesa]

When is the new expedition

[swift sand]

fly to the station to drop wanted level if you need to

[swift sand]

we dont know sorry, we're all just players here

[swift mesa]

Damn you got everyting in ur profile look like a war hero

Thanks

[hard rover]

@swift sand whats your favorite race character?

[swift sand]

sorry, not sure i understand what you're trying to ask - can you rephrase?

maybe just dm me 🙂

[still root]

Also, is there a way to idly farm frigate fuel?

[livid kayak]

Yup, you can have it produced by your settlement

[sweet rampart]

He meant what race do you use, like in the Appearance Modifier

[swift sand]

settlements can make frigate fuel - personally, i have no use for fuel due to supports and freighter fleet fuel eff mods

[swift sand]

oh - sorry - anomaly, got to, because of eye of the korvax helmet @hard rover

[still root]

Yea, I'm not there yet lol

[swift sand]

you will evntually

[swift mesa]

Is the Corvette better or a S tier sentinel?

[livid kayak]

Corvette is more multipurpouse, but Sentinel is more manuverable, surely

[hushed saffron]

Corvette can be stronger in terms of weaponry as well, but has hauler base stats so is slow in atmosphere and harder to maneuver

[swift sand]

also, you can upgrade any non s-class ship to s-class. you cant really build a corvette that has the looks of a sentinel - and that's the huge difference, the looks and the feels. after upgrades, any ship type you want to use can do the game no problem - even a shuttle

[swift mesa]

Aight thanks y'all

[left bobcat]

Got em! That was quite the adventure 😭

Do sentinels have naturally stronger shields than exotics? Because my squids shields were getting hammered

[swift sand]

@swift mesa anytime. btw, when you're refining something, dont leave refiners unattended - stick by them till they're finished, and if you got to leave before they're done, stop them, take the resources out first. there's a bug that can happen that makes it lose resources

[wind dust]

is there much of a difference if i ||let artemis die or not|| (spoilers for artemis questline)

[livid kayak]

redirecting power to engines and flying full speed in a straight line is also a viable way to escape

and it doesn't take long

[swift sand]

sentinels are enemies basically, and they probably get tankier because of player damage scaling, and a bit more than other npc ships

[livid kayak]

Not much of a difference, just a slightly different lore, no cosequences

[wind dust]

ah okay

[left bobcat]

No no, my bad I didn't word that right. Do crashed sentinels have natively stronger shields than exotics?

[livid kayak]

Those are the best possible base stats

[swift sand]

even deflector shield and aeron shield have the same stats

[left bobcat]

Ok so sentinels are ass 😭

[swift sand]

so technically, even a low rolled exotic would have a stronger innate bonus to shields

[swift sand]

not really, they're pretty good. dont forget that we have phase beam, which can shield leech off enemy ships, not to mention that maneuver sentinels get when boosting

i've played a sentinel for a long time now, and never had any real issues tbh

[left bobcat]

Wait sentinels get better maneuverability when boosting? Is that why I'm always getting turned inside out in dogfights with em?

[wheat cove]

With big enough guns, you don't need a shield.

Except when you accidentally warp inside a freighter

[swift sand]

yeah, their agility bonus is applied with a large percentage going to boost and a small percentage going to core maneuver - which is why they dont turn as snappy etc when dogfighting, compared to fighter or exotic for example

[left bobcat]

So when not boosting, exotics are more maneuverable, and when boosting, sentinels are more maneuverable?

[swift sand]

well, not sure about that specific comparison. but iow, if you wanted top control when dogfighting, you'd take the exotic, because you probably wont be boosting at all when dogfighting, just turning and turning to get them in your sights.

[left bobcat]

Yeah I actually hold down the brakes a lot when dogfighting 😭

[swift sand]

like sometimes boosting just isn't a thing you'll do at all, and that's missing the condition to get that agility buff

[left bobcat]

I just don't understand what you mean when u say a large percentage of sentinel agility stats go to boost

[summer lantern]

I personally unbind 'backwards' from auto tracking and put int on a separate key (keybaord). Makes dogfighting easier if i can cotnrol when i go backwards and targetting

[left bobcat]

Ah. I just got rid of auto target completely 😭 I was tired of targeting when I wanted to slow down

[summer lantern]

Anyways, question: Is there an easy way to find archive outposts?

[swift sand]

there's an innate bonus on ships literally called agility. it's applied with different weights, so to speak, to core maneuverability and boost maneuverability of ships. boost maneuver is ofc, their handling when boosting. a sentinel gets at max stat a 50 agility buff. let's say that on them, 90% of that value is added to boost maneuver, and only 10% to core maneuver.

[swift sand]

using commercial planetary charts, and remembering that charts cannot mark the same POI type twice at the same time in the same system

[summer lantern]

commercial charts, got it. Thanks

[left bobcat]

Oooooooo I see.

[swift sand]

in other ships, e.g. fighter, it's the opposite

[left bobcat]

Btw I did NOT know you could see ship stats with analysis visor and hell yeah I leveled up

[swift sand]

yeah, just remember that when you're aiming at another ship, that you dont own and dont have equipped, meaning a npc ship for example, the visor wont show you that ship' s stats (with the exception of hyperdrive)

[left bobcat]

Also what's the best way to upgrade ship class? Let's say I have a b class sentinel I want to be an s class. Am I better off just finding an s class?

[swift sand]

nah, just farm the nanites to class upgrade

[left bobcat]

Wait what 😭 the little image said it would show states

[swift sand]

some strategies, 30min, 40, 50k nanites

[left bobcat]

Bet. Would I have to purchase s class reactor and stuff?

[left bobcat]

Share lol

[swift sand]

hmm? you're referring to this?

[livid kayak]

https://youtu.be/8Fayrv9-h9c

[swift sand]

reactors are used to build a fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail ship, would be a much cheaper way to have a s-class ship, if you wanted to have one of those

[left bobcat]

Ooooooooo okay so that's only for built ships. Heck yeah

[swift sand]

upgrading an a-class ship to s-class costs 50k nanites at normal mode prices; in terms of nanites, building a s-class fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail would cost at worst 12k nanites. at best, it could be free

[still root]

@swift sand Is it okay if a frigate has exactly 4 expeditions, or is 4 the surefire precipice of not being the best for leveling up?

[swift sand]

there's some kind of bug with frigates hired with the exact number of expeditions needed for a rank up - i'd recommend staying away from frigates hired with exactly 4, and go for one with less than 4. (expanding that, you'd not be recommended to hire any frigate with 4, 8, 15, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 expeditions completed)

a rank up is when a frigate gets upgraded: if there's a negative trait it is removed, if not a positive is added, and it always gets more base points added (to combat, trade, etc)

when a frigate gets to 5 positive traits it becomes s-class

when a frigate gets to 55 completed expeditions, it is done evolving.

[still root]

I see, thank you!

[tacit smelt]

what are all the ways to get an anomaly detector? or the easiest

[summer lantern]

i get them often when mining asteroids in a planets asteroid belt

[tacit smelt]

tried that, tried that for like 20 mins

[summer lantern]

weird, last decent mining session i got like 6 of them

did you chek your ships inventory or your exosuits?

[tacit smelt]

-_-

[summer lantern]

look, its happened to me that i havent checked te right inv

[fresh cloud]

How many kinds of sentinel starships are there?

[left bobcat]

I keep getting extra hyaline brains; what can I do with the extras?

[visual terrace]

Use them for more interceptors or can refine into nanite clusters I think

[visual terrace]

As far as I know there is just one kind in general, but there are a ton of visual variations

[fresh cloud]

I know theres at least 3, but im not sure if theres more

[visual terrace]

I meant that interceptors are their own category stat wise

[still root]

Is there a cooldown between when regular system fleets can spawn in?

[vernal nacelle]

umm, i just tryed to enter the anomaly and i was lanced back at -400 u per second and i can not do anyhting but contunie flying what do i do?

yes i tryd pulse and galixy map

okay never mind

i got it sorted out

[tawdry urchin]

what are the red dots for frigates?

[astral pasture]

are negative traits to your frigates, will disappear once you rank up them doing their expeditions

[tawdry urchin]

ahh

[severe crown]

Are there good methods for taming a flying pet? I have some creatures that keep swooping low to the ground, but I can't tell if I'd be able to tame one as I have yet to get close enough.

[astral pasture]

without modding you cant tame actual flying creatures, the best you can tame that hover some meter above the ground are beetles and something similar to butterflies

[severe crown]

Darn. Ok. So probably not something like this.

[quartz minnow]

what section of catalogue and guide is star bulb in? I want to look for a paradise planet

[severe crown]

Plants

[quartz minnow]

ok

[astral pasture]

normally nope, you can ask on the modding channel how to do it

or someone trading you one egg of a flying creature

[severe crown]

Space encounters like this can't be boarded. correct?

[stuck berry]

Correct

[left bobcat]

My squid has 775 maneuverability and I'm still being out turned by sentinel interceptors wtf is going on?

They just flip backwards it seems tf

Hey I just found a deep space freighter wreck; is there anything else I can do besides looting the cargo?

[stuck berry]

Not really, you can only land on the ones located via Emergency Signal Scanner (or rarely via Anomaly Detector)

just shoot the cargo, maybe get ambushed by pirates, then fly away

[left bobcat]

Alright thanks!

Yes I got ambushed

[severe crown]

I didn't even find cargo. Just flew around it a bit, then continued on my way. (I probably missed something.)

[left bobcat]

I got a ton of gold

Btw, who are these random ships helping me against the pirates? I don't have a squadron, and they're not interceptors, and I didn't use a defense chip

You can do that? 💀

[vital estuary]

If they have green trails those would be regular npcs, orange is squadron, and if you have a combat frigate in the system they launch ships that count as squadron.

[left bobcat]

Oooooooo okay. They were green trails lol

[topaz summit]

How well does this run on switch two

[fresh cloud]

I need help! I forgot which system i found this really cool sentinel ship in and i really need to know. Does anyone else have this ship? If so, do you remember where you found it?

[livid kayak]

You might just use NMSCE and look for similiar design, or even a better one

[topaz summit]

Is Nintendo switch 2 version good

[tame bane]

How do I get a colossous?

Haven't got any exocraft yet

[livid kayak]

you can buy its geobay blueprint in the Space Anomaly

[tame bane]

Do the geobays give you the exocraft?

[outer tree]

do i need to fully repair a crashed ship if I'm planning to trade it to a npc for my squad?

[livid kayak]

Pretty much

[livid kayak]

No need. The absolute minimum is the launch thrusters and pulse engine

[tame bane]

Is the only way to get superconductors to craft them?

[stuck berry]

Kinda, them and their components also sometimes come from frigate expeditions I think, as well as mission board missions

[tame bane]

Gotcha okay

[stuck berry]

The components also all are given from destroying Depots

[lean cairn]

How can i get a living ship?

[stuck berry]

Buy a Void Egg for 3,200 Quicksilver #nms-commands message from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, then progress the mission it eventually starts

[lean cairn]

Thx

[quartz minnow]

Btw the mission will take 4-5 days to do

Just a heads up

[lean cairn]

Oh wow ok

[left bobcat]

So when u find a crashed sentinel, there's only THAT type of sentinel in system right?

Can u find different colors in one system?

[visual terrace]

No . Colors are the same

[wet sigil]

You only need to do it once, all subsequent listing ships are far shorter

[visual terrace]

Only the class lvl will change

And tech layout

[left bobcat]

😭

[left bobcat]

Wait what?

[visual terrace]

Is there another way to get one? I got one the other day and no clue where it came from. I had been in the quicksilver shop but I definetly didn’t have enough to accidentally purchase it and get the item I got

[stuck berry]

Other than being given one by another player, no.

[visual terrace]

Hmm. Wonder if someone snuck one to me lol

[stuck berry]

The command I linked explains how to get more Quicksilver, including half of it from the weekend mission

[wet sigil]

Sorry, i was replying to an entirely different question and didn't realise you changed topic

[nova yew]

I was using the short range teleporters and the terrain kept returning from when I was modifying it

is there a way to avoid this?

[left bobcat]

Ah np

[bitter crypt]

Don't build on terrain

If too much is edited, it will grow back

[nova yew]

I terraformed it first

[bitter crypt]

Yes, it regrows if you've edited it too much

[bitter crypt]

Yep, it'll come back when that area reloads

it's generally good advice to build elevated above terrain

[quartz minnow]

I have 3 stacks that @gloomy holly gave me 2 months ago

[visual terrace]

I’m guessing someone slipped me one. I didn’t know what it was even and I left the anomaly to do something and the quest triggered

Then checked my inv and it was there

[left bobcat]

Do squadron mates actually help in combat? Or are they a waste of time?

[wet sigil]

They help by being extra targets for opposing fighters to shoot at, and may help with sentinels by stopping their shield regeneration, but apart from that, I haven't found them to be too helpful, a fully equipped sentinel ship is more than capable of defeating sentinel mothership on its own without much trouble, and that's about the hardest space fight

[tame bane]

Are there like

Planets with lots of player bases"?

[bitter crypt]

There are yes

[left bobcat]

[wet sigil]

Updated my repky

[young cedar]

Do you have to complete the entire void egg quest every time you want to get a living ship, or is there anyother way?

[left bobcat]

Lol thanks. Makes sense and yeah my squid has done quite a few of those fights today they ain't so bad

I still want squadmates tho

[wet sigil]

Only the first egg requires the quest line, subsequent eggs are much faster, as in they point you to a living ship immediately

[young cedar]

Great

Thanks

[left bobcat]

Do the specs of recruited squad mates matter? Will a recruited s class do more damage?

[wet sigil]

I don't think so, but they don't do a lot of damage regardless, especially compared to a player spaceship

[visual terrace]

I was looking into it the other day cause I’m about to build my fleet. From what I gathered it does improve them some but they are so bad in general that it doesn’t really matter.

[glad lodge]

How does one know how many multitools a pool can give? Do u just keep checking Minor Settlements and hope the game generates a different design? 👀

[left bobcat]

Ah alrighty

WOW found an a class fighter with 343 DMG pot that Imma recruit

Can they die?

Bro got intelligenve and adaptability below average 😭 do those stats matter?

Sick Imma recruit this exotic to my squadron

Can I buy recruits ships in the future? This exotic is pretty nice

[wet sigil]

Once you recruit a member, you lose the ship completely

[left bobcat]

💀

Oh well

[wet sigil]

However, exotics are not a one ship per star deal like organic frigates, you can always get more from that star

[left bobcat]

Do their pilot stats matter? Both of my members are "below average" and "poor" in a lot of places

[left bobcat]

Wait what? Wdym? I thought there was only 1 exotic per system?

Also it dont matter much I seem to find exotics all the time (they fine me)

[visual terrace]

It’s like the sentinel ships. It’s one design per system but you can get it multiple times

[wet sigil]

One exotic design per system, but you can multiple copies of the same ship

In fact, there are systems where they have a high likelihood of their space stations spawning two copies of the same exotic in its first wave

AFAIK, only organic frigates are literally one per star, I don't think anything else is

[visual terrace]

They worth going after? I’ve not looked into them yet

[left bobcat]

Oooooooo ok so same as sentinels. Hell yeah

And do squad pilot stats matter? Both of my members are "below average" and "poor" in a lot of places😭

[wet sigil]

I would get at least 5, because organic frigates are a hard requirement to get spawning sacs (the cargo upgrades for living ship), but unmodded they are fairly time consuming to get

[visual terrace]

Sounds good. I’ll probably get one every once in a while then. I just bought a bunch of frigates to learn how those missions worked and will delete some of the bad ones as I go.

Why 5? One per mission?

[wet sigil]

Yes

[visual terrace]

Do pirates give anything unique?

[wet sigil]

Pirate frigates? I am not aware of any

[tame bane]

What is the easiest way to get nitrogen gas?

[wet sigil]

Gas extractors on lush or toxic planets

[tame bane]

thanks!

[tame bane]

so gas and mineral extractors work even when im offline right?

[wet sigil]

Yes

[mental oxide]

how do you get pets in this game?

[left bobcat]

Feed random animals then add to pet registry

[mental oxide]

do i have to find food or craft? it says i cant offer food

[urban crypt]

the simple answer is yes. the more complicated answer is, no, the extraction amount is calculated when you next log in. This is relevant only if you have some complicated or iffy wiring system that turns power on or off. Thats not simulated so the entire offline period will be assumed to be entirely on, or entirely off.

[urban crypt]

you need to specifically craft pellets. the recipe is unlocked by playing the main mission iirc.

[pliant fossil]

Are we not able to salvage the Winged Hatsudam V?

[urban crypt]

that would depend entirely on what the Winged Hatsudam V is.

[pliant fossil]

The one that you get during campaign. I can totally see why they wouldn't let the individual scrape it though.

[left bobcat]

Is it a bug for a planet to not have a conflict rating? Or does that mean it's mega peaceful lol?

[wet sigil]

A conflict rating of 0 means that system is abandoned

Or uninhabited, depending on whether there is a dominant race icon or not

[left bobcat]

There's a dominant race lifeform and 3 star economy and station.

Found another that's a pirate system

[wet sigil]

Is the station fully functional?

[left bobcat]

Afaik yeah. Just bought a bunch of sus tech

[wet sigil]

A pirate system has it's own conflict rating

Pirate conflict and black market economy are exclusive to each other

[left bobcat]

Yeah but for this one it's not there

Wait what

[left bobcat]

Wait how do u tell the difference?

[wet sigil]

When you have the pirate star selected, the tooltip will show a skull for it's conflict rating, and it's economy icon will have a skull beside the book icon, those two always show up next to each other and never anywhere else

[urban crypt]

I don't recognize the name. it looks generated

[wet sigil]

Could you post a screenshot of the ship?

[pliant fossil]

It looks like this.

[wet sigil]

Hmm.. I have not tried salvaging it, but I don't think there are any reasons it's not possible to salvage. Is that your only ship?

[pliant fossil]

It is not, I also have the one you start with.

[wet sigil]

And what does the game say when you try to salvage it?

[pliant fossil]

It doesn't technically say anything. What I mean by that is that it asks if I'm sure, and click to salvage it, but then just nothing happens.

[wet sigil]

At work ATM, I'll try later

By the way, when you said nothing happens, the ship is still there in your inventory right?

[nova yew]

I understand thank you

[pliant fossil]

Correct. I'll try filming what is happening when I get a moment.

[urban crypt]

just to clarify, you do have loads of spare inventory space?

[left bobcat]

Where do I find ship rocket launcher upgrades? I swear I NEVER see em

[urban crypt]

they dont exist

[left bobcat]

😭😭 bruh

[pliant fossil]

Well, just went back to the space station after working on some other things and this time things actually happened when I clicked the button. Might be a bug or maybe I needed to progress just a bit more? Either way, it is resolved.

[left bobcat]

Why no rocket launcher upgrades?

[wet sigil]

No idea, but there is one you can craft that is unlocked via recipe in the anomaly

[left bobcat]

Oh yes the 20 percent cool down bonus. Just got that one 😢

[wet sigil]

The bug must have caught on that you are asking for help so hid itself

[wet sigil]

Apart from torpedo turrets on corvettes, that upgrade is all we got

[left bobcat]

😢

[pliant fossil]

It's like, "Oh you're gonna record me now? Well let's make ya look stupid to other players."

[urban crypt]

in fairness there are a vast number of game bugs that are resolved by "do something else then try again later".

[wet sigil]

Yep, we know how meme-y "have you tried restarting it" replies are, but NMS seems to be more receptive to it

[main lotus]

Forged passports read as 'reset any negative faction standing'. I lost 20 Vy'keen standing down to 323 in a couple outlaw missions then used the passport at a Vy'keen station and gained one point ending at 324. Is this bugged or misleading?

[signal cedar]

I think the password only resets from negative values towards 0

It doesn't reset to "previous value before I lost standing"

[stuck berry]

That's what it's supposed to do, as your standing wasn't negative.

If your standing is below 0, it's set back to 0. If it's 0 or above, it adds 1

[tropic ginkgo]

negative =/= recently lost

[fathom barn]

What uses does quartzite have aside form refining it into chromatic metal and finishing the Exocraft spawner exosuit upgrade?

[wet sigil]

Long term, not much

[left bobcat]

I found a black hole should I go through?

Do they damage ships?

[wet sigil]

Oh, final freighter warp drive needs quartzite

[wet sigil]

Not the normal black holes, it just warps you somewhere else in the galaxy

[left bobcat]

Hnmmn ...

[tropic ginkgo]

somewhere closer to the core

[left bobcat]

I travelled 524,000 light-years 💀

[stuck berry]

Yes, you are transported to a semi-random part of the galactic disc, ~5,000 LY closer to the core

[left bobcat]

Yeesh. Imma start traveling up. I was traveling down

Btw, why does my exotic have a higher "damage potential" than my sentinel, despite my sentinels weapons doing more DPS? Now my sentinel does have two fewer weapon systems but still

[tropic ginkgo]

damage potential is a misleading stat, ignore

[signal cedar]

Yeah for starships the damage potential stats includes all weapons installed

Which is misleading because you can't fire multiple weapon types at once

[left bobcat]

Ah okay

[signal cedar]

So check the individual DPS stats for each weapon type

[left bobcat]

Alrighty!

Is the upgrade that lets u drift ur ship worth it?

[signal cedar]

Not sure what you mean

[safe glade]

is living frigate one per system? as in, if I already grabbed one I need to warp into other system to get another living frigate?

thanks

[left bobcat]

There's an upgrade that says it lets u drift ur ship. From the anomaly

[tropic ginkgo]

ignore that description, this is what it actually lets you do
meaning, you have more control over your ship as you fly, particularly when doing sharp turns in the atmosphere

ships can't "drift", what does that even mean

[lunar granite]

does anyone know why when i go into a specfitc save it just crashes my game?

[signal cedar]

Do other saves load fine? Can you start a new save without crashing?

[lunar granite]

i started another save file it and went just fine without crashing

[signal cedar]

What platform are you on? Do you have access to save editor?

[lunar granite]

Im on pc and i think i have access to save editor or atleast dont know how to access it

[left bobcat]

So like.......how? 😭 What exactly does it do?

[balmy adder]

try to join a friends session with that corrupted save

[lunar granite]

got no friends that play no mans sky

[balmy adder]

you may ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[lunar granite]

Alright

[tropic ginkgo]

already explained what it does

[wintry jungle]

Guys whats the best way to make money easy? I did the atlas path ans somewhere i reseted the simulation and i got throw to another galaxy and i need money to repair some things

[tame bane]

is this mission bugged ?

[wet sigil]

If it makes things easier, you can go to any space station and use the teleporter to go back to the original galaxy

[wet sigil]

Bugged in what way?

[tame bane]

When I fly to the base archive, I get close to the planet then it disappears

and shows up on another planet in the system

and repeats that

i just closed the game so ill try again later, hopefully a relog fixes

[signal cedar]

if you mean the Flight Assist Override, all it does is reduces the automatic correction that the game does when player tries to fly their ship into an obstacle like an asteroid

normally the game does a little manuever to steer the ship away, with the module installed that effect is reduced

[signal cedar]

that's a common issue for doing quests in MP scenario

disable MP, save and reload

[wintry jungle]

And how can i make money fast cause i need to buy some things?

[left bobcat]

Ooooooo okay I see. So it's not much of an upgrade (if at all)

Thanks!

[signal cedar]

people wanted to have more control over their ships in flight, that's what HG cooked up

it is an upgrade in sense that it will boost the stats of pulse drive

[left bobcat]

Oh word? 👀

Might try it then

[pliant fossil]

So I found my first ever Gravitino Ball, had the sentinel come after me, I hid beneath the ground before it ever arrived. After a while, the game said the sentinel was heading out, but the it really isn't that far. Basically right above my head.

Is it safe for me to walk around with it on my person after the game told me the sentinel stopped it's hunt? Or is it still dangerous?

[signal cedar]

look at the wanted level indicator displayed in top right corner, below the multi-tool panel

[wet sigil]

My favoured way is scrapping interceptors, the scraps are worth like 15m+ each most of the time, and can be infinitely farmed by using a harmonic camp

[signal cedar]

should show 0/5 shapes for no Sentinel wanted level, then its safe

alternatively if you have access to buildable save point / save beacon, you can build that, interact with it to save your game, then reload the Restore Point save option
