nms-questions

[wet sigil]

I also use Nautilon for underwater exploration and Minotaur whenever I need to scan for emergency signals. I have never used Rover, or Colossus before the most recent update

[dense rock]

I heard something about base base overlaping via save editor. Two base's in a same place. Lowkey need that for building a city. Already have like 4.5k part's

[visual terrace]

Can you have more than one of each type of exocraft?

[dense rock]

No. Still colossus have save option for difrent build's

[visual terrace]

Okay cool. Last expedition was only one I’ve used

[dense rock]

Different "wheels" have strangely different grip. Have that in mind

[visual terrace]

Ty will do

Any one better in general or depends on terrain?

[dense rock]

Deepend's

[visual terrace]

Thx. Saved that

[dense rock]

I can spell wrong one or two name's. Still difrence's aren't much

[hybrid fog]

How can I bring my pet to different planets?

[visual terrace]

Your good. Gives me the general idea

[dense rock]

X and call from pet register

[hybrid fog]

Alright

[dense rock]

Road tires → speed
Off‑road tires → mixed terrain
Wide mud tires → sand/mud
Standard wheels → universal
Reinforced wheels → heavy loads
Tracks → maximum traction, minimum speed
Spider Legs -> Climbing

[dense rock]

Here better

Maybe doesn't sound and look's much. Still if you full of scrap low diffrence can make a lot

[visual terrace]

Does it just effect the speed stat or will the vehicles actually like slip on steep inclines?

[dense rock]

Speed and stability. If you don't be working much on scrap then doesn't bother you mind by this

Speed on angle also

[visual terrace]

Stability as in stuff bouncing out?

[dense rock]

Yep and slip on angle

If you ask what is best exo for advanced player then for me this is Pilgrim

[visual terrace]

Ok cool. I can’t tell you how many loads I lost on the expedition. I also may or may not have drove into multiple cave holes at night

[dense rock]

From another tip's try to find scrapyards at most 3-5m from garbage dumps

Maybe to 7 on flat planet's

If you wanna spend much time on it then you can always build base's and make a road

Take some time. Still scrap grow back

[visual terrace]

Good to know

[dense rock]

Also. Maybe this is for me. Still I think mostly full back work's better. Try to not fill small/loose scrap on back/entrence. I always hide most valuable thing's under regular scrap

If something fly's off then mostly regular scrap

[visual terrace]

Do you just receive Nantes in the normal game. Same as the expedition?

[dense rock]

Yep. Alway's try to throw garbage manualy

You also get in that way some of resource's

And mile stone's only work's when you do that manualy

Same with furnance back. Milestone's doesn't work when you throw to furnance on back of colossus

[restive harness]

i need help with the first traveller mission.. im at a part where it says to visit null's chosen observatory, but when i go through the portal, it sends me to a dark planet where i cant summon my ship, and the mission says that im in the wrong system, if so.. where do i go?

[dense rock]

You can join friend/anyone and your mission's can reset/choose next location

Also work's when you change galaxy

You can do that even alone

In anomaly you have portal's to player bases

Good amount of them are from Eissentam

[restive harness]

alright, thanks

[novel pike]

Do settlement buildings grow as you update them, or is it my imagination?

[dense rock]

Yep. They grow

Or change style/color

[novel pike]

Cool, thanks. Thought so, but wasn't sure, because it's been a few months since i played. 🙂

[still root]

Do short range teleporters work in corvettes? I'm not getting the prompt to connect them up

[wet sigil]

You need to build a teleporter cable to connect them

But you don't need to connect power to them

[still root]

Yes, however the teleport cable isn't even snapping to the first teleporter

[wet sigil]

But it snaps to the second?

[still root]

Is it because I'm inside a station right now?

[still root]

It wont do it with any

[wet sigil]

Try it planet side

[mental oxide]

how do i find a dissonance resonator

do i need to find a disonnance planet first?

[still root]

I fixed it, apparently, and for some unknown reason, toggle free placement makes it snap to the back of the teleporter now

[still root]

Yes

[tame bane]

How do I stop my frigates from getting damaged every mission?

[mental oxide]

how do i find that in the galaxy map

[visual terrace]

It depends on your fleet star lvl compared to the mission star lvl. Iirc if fleet is 2 stars over the mission you can’t be damaged

[tame bane]

sweet thank you

[still root]

At the top of the system information when hovering over a system in the galaxy map, it should have the system type called dissonant

[dense rock]

You can lowkey prevent that/lowek chance's for that

Even when you not have lvl

You can teach yourself blueprint's from one time use upgrade's

They are cheap

From these in freighter upgrade's section

[tame bane]

What do they do?

[dense rock]

I talk about fighting drone's or something.
You can buy them for salvage frigate data (image)

They boost your mission stat's

Higher stat's

More loot

[queen blade]

What does solar panel power do with the exosuit upgrades?

[dense rock]

Less destroy engine's

[dense rock]

Faster reload propably

[wet sigil]

It reduces the suits survival consumption during daytime

[dense rock]

Good to know

[queen blade]

Ohhh that’s cool

Thank you

[wet sigil]

That's the currency you need to buy freighter related uogrades, kinda like nanites for techs, salvaged data for buildings, those are for freighters

[tame bane]

@dense rock these?

[dense rock]

Wait

[tame bane]

I got like 30 left still

frigate modules i mean

[dense rock]

Blueprint's are work's

For exact mission type

Drone's for fighting

Mineral for minning

[wet sigil]

Oh wait

[dense rock]

If you have low frigate level's

Then stack for 3

[wet sigil]

Sorry, I might be wrong about solar recharge, it could be increasing jetpack recharge rate during day time..

[dense rock]

Know it xD

[restive harness]

can i change the destination on a portal? ive done every option that i get when i search on how to do it, but nothing works?

[stuck berry]

Interact with it, what does it show?

[dense rock]

Repair them first

You land on them

[tame bane]

yeah i've done it heaps already

im just sick of repairing them so often

[restive harness]

if i click activate it just turns it on and sends me to where it sent me first

[dense rock]

Use this blueprint's

For exact mission type

[tame bane]

yeah ill give them a try

[dense rock]

Stack for 3

You can

[stuck berry]

Activate Portal is supposed to show a menu to input a sequence of 12 glyphs, if it does anything otherwise then it may be one you previously used for a mission which kinda break

[tame bane]

Is there a way to automate asteroid mining?

[stuck berry]

No.

[dense rock]

Have this tip for later. When you grab more ship's to fleet.
Alway's send them 4 exact type+1 support

[dense rock]

You can mine a lot faster

Phase beam

[tame bane]

so 5 total ships for one expedition?

[stuck berry]

5 frigates per each frigate expedition, yes

[restive harness]

when i activate it, its just turns on the portal, but yeah i probably used it for a mission, how do i found a new one? i havent played for 3 months

[tame bane]

is it better to niche down with frigate types then?

eg. 4 of one type, 4 of one type, 2 support

[stuck berry]

Go to a different planet/star system and follow this guide #nms-commands message
click the individual links to see detailed instructions about each step

[dense rock]

5 Total if have them. Support doesn't have best stat's.
Still support give's fuel bonus

Lower usage

[tame bane]

ahhh ok, awesome thank you

[dense rock]

5 is limit

[visual terrace]

Is it higher loot with more frigates?

[tame bane]

@dense rock so would you do 3x upgrades on all 5 ships then?

or only the weak ones

[dense rock]

There is cap

Of max earning

If you have all S

[stuck berry]

I do not believe that is the case, loot only scales with length of the expedition and maybe the difficulty

[dense rock]

You doesn't need one time power ups

[tame bane]

Okay, thank you

[stuck berry]

XP gained is per-frigate, so having more frigates take part will make all of them get the same xp they'd get if they were sent alone, so more is better for leveling them up

[tame bane]

okay sweet thanks :D

does type of frigate matter?

or is it just personal preference

[dense rock]

Best choice are for exact mission type+support

One stat's matter mostly

If you have fighting. Grab fighter's

[tame bane]

But all mission types give some rewards overrall?

[dense rock]

Other

[wet sigil]

At least initially while you slowly get your fleet ls stats up

[tame bane]

It's not better to focus on only exploration or only trade missions, etc?

[stuck berry]

You only get 5 expeditions per day

[wet sigil]

I do them all, because you don't have a choice

[dense rock]

You have mission daily cap

[stuck berry]

so no good in not doing all of them if you can

[tame bane]

makes sense

[wet sigil]

It's not a cap, the 5 you see is all you get, you won't get new missions until the next daily reset

[dense rock]

They are random

[dense rock]

Daily cap?

[wet sigil]

The 5 missions you see when you log in after the daily reset are the missions you can do for that day.

[dense rock]

If you buld fleet then best to have at least for 5 every-type

[wet sigil]

For me, "cap" implies choice up to the number of missions

[tame bane]

So is it possible to automate dihydrogen + tritium at all?

For frigate fuel?

[dense rock]

30 is limit

[wet sigil]

I disagree with that, the best fleet is 25 supports

[dense rock]

Send support alway's

Sometime's reduce usage to 0

[dense rock]

Living ship's?

[tame bane]

something like this?

[wet sigil]

Any, living or metallic

[dense rock]

When you doesn't have what to send better to send anything

Balanced is best

4 difrent

1 support

Combo

Orrr

Some special ships

[wet sigil]

That works

[tame bane]

like this?

[dense rock]

Yep. You can change combat/raider

To mining

And

C class firgate's

[tame bane]

don't have any mining ones atm

[dense rock]

Can grow

After time

[tame bane]

shouldn't I just do exploration since those are my best

[dense rock]

Then send anything

[tame bane]

and do 2 exploration, 2 combat, 1 support?

[dense rock]

If this is your last mission then send

If you don't have much ship's

And big amount of mission's

Better to split them

[tame bane]

im kinda lost now ngl

i have these

[dense rock]

And

Always looks for stats

[dense rock]

If you exoration have more stats in mining

From mining C

Better to send exploration if you mission is mining. Always stare at mission stat's

You mostly need one of them

[wet sigil]

The reason we suggest do all the missions is because the missions you see are all you are gonna get for the day until the next reset, you may as well send them because it's gonna be wasted if you dont

[dense rock]

More LY. More reward

Star's only mean difficulty

Not reward

[tame bane]

Right so I should just do the longest one since I don't have many ships?

[dense rock]

Yep. Also for me I think trader's are last

You got mostly monney from trader's

[tame bane]

okay gotcha

ill try grind for more frigates when im warping later

I got 1B units yesterday so now im chilling

[dense rock]

Higher economy system's have higher change of better frigate's

If you wanna catch something

[wet sigil]

Oh, forgot to mention, when hunting for support frigates, avoid ones that has -10% expedition timer, try to go for the ones with -15 fuel usage

[tame bane]

alright noted, thank you

[dense rock]

Nexus mission's sometime's have a lot of fuel on reward

Give look sometime's

Maybe you be having luck

[tame bane]

sweet, ty

my current strat is just mining tritium and refining it into dihydrogen

but its annoying

[dense rock]

Phase beam is a way

[wet sigil]

Also, settlements can make fuel for you once you level them enough, but it's gonna be some work to get there if they aren't already

[tame bane]

i think i have phase beam unlocked, ill install it

[wet sigil]

I think pirate stations sells dihydrogen

I think

[tame bane]

I thought phase beam was only for draining shields?

does it work on asteroids:?

[wet sigil]

Yea

[visual terrace]

Most places have the jelly and you can refine it back into dihydrogen. It’s pretty cheap

[wet sigil]

They drain shields yes, but the damage is done regardless

[dense rock]

Work's pretty well. You can destroy one behind another

[hushed saffron]

Yes and it is super effective at clearing them too

[tame bane]

sweet

Damn the phase beam shreds asteroids lol

[wet sigil]

Asteroids don't take much anyway

Also if you find any anomaly detectors, I suggest saving them up until you start hunting for organic frigates, which isn't for a while yet, but those detectors are a pita to get

[tame bane]

oh damn.

I sold 3 of them yesterday

kek

do organic frigates have better stats?

[verbal laurel]

Yes, and you can change their stats by feeding them Traveller food, but more importantly when they're included on Expeditions they get resources only Organic Frigates can find.

[wet sigil]

They have potential to have better stats, but organic frigates are a hard requirement for upgrading the cargo of living ships, plus just a convenient source of living ship techs

[tame bane]

Cool

[tacit smelt]

how do iget hexite?

[tame bane]

Is there like a blanket best exosuit configuration/setup?

[wet sigil]

I used one config I found from googling, it works well enough, though I did some minor changes to maximise the adjacency bonus of a few techs

[tame bane]

Can I see yours please?

[tame bane]

Here is mine currently:

[wet sigil]

Later, I am at work, but do remind me

[tame bane]

@tacit smelt

[tacit smelt]

i got it

[wet sigil]

Yeah you definitely need to work on getting your exosuit tech slots opened up, you can have up to 60

[tame bane]

gotcha

my inventory is nearly maxed

but yeah haven't really touched my exosuit much

not sure what to use

[wet sigil]

The game feels completely different once your techs are in place

Like I am not joking when i say it changes extreme planets from borderline lethal to cosmetic

[tame bane]

these have been really helpful:

[tame bane]

yeah damn okay

[wet sigil]

You can replace that with s rank, it will have that warp efficiency and have a 200 LY ranged bonus

[tame bane]

damn 👁️

[wet sigil]

X rank is like lottery lol

[tame bane]

yeah fair enough

what about the analysis visor one?

that seems kinda OP

my warp range rn is kinda ass

[wet sigil]

All of my techs are X ranks but it took a lot of save and reloading

[wet sigil]

This can go up to 10000% on s rank, 11000% on X rank, but the latter is fairly hard to obtain

[tame bane]

@wet sigil damn okay

[wet sigil]

But when in doubt, prefer having a higher Fauna stat

As faunas have higher base scan rewards

[tame bane]

Sweet as

the zoology achievement is so grindy haha

[left bobcat]

Does my freighter automatically follow me towards my location? I noticed that it was in a system I'd never been to

[verbal laurel]

You can call it to any system.
Random systems can have freighters that look just like yours but aren't.

[tame bane]

I found this:

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fbest-exosuit-setup-2025-v0-kw9w2jfii1te1.png%3Fwidth%3D1073%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D244b2e573dfe4443cbaa6c7e6099a720bbf87af5

[verbal laurel]

Yes that's a decent overview, but will need to be tweaked for what you're working with

[left bobcat]

Well sometimes when I try to call it, it says it's out of range. I'm on the other side of the galaxy right now (took a black hole yesterday)

I'm saying, last time I teleported to it, it wasn't where I left it

[verbal laurel]

It should be where you last left it.
Just make sure to keep its hyperdrive tank full.
It can be summoned across different galaxies.

[left bobcat]

Wtf

Hmmm maybe it's out of fuel

Lemme check

Why tf does it have a hyperdrive range stat then?

[wet sigil]

I have something similar to that, the right side is basically identical, but I have some changes to the left side

[wet sigil]

That's for when you perform a warp with the freighter with you on it

Apart from that, calling freighter to you doesn't count range, and consumes no fuel

You do, however, need the correct drive installed on your freighter

E.g. you can't call it to a purple star if it doesn't have the final warp drive upgradr

[tame bane]

Yeah I can't summon my freighter to blue stars because I haven't upgraded it yet

[left bobcat]

Oh wow wtf it just came across the galaxy

[left bobcat]

Oh

[left bobcat]

The what

[tame bane]

Same as starships, you need warp upgrades

to travel to systems with different coloured stars

[left bobcat]

Also can my freighter and frigates fight? I have three frigates and two are combat

[tame bane]

you can send them on missions to earn you money yeah

[mental oxide]

whats the fastest way to get nanites as a new player

[left bobcat]

Where do I get freighyer hyperdrive upgrades? I've never had a problem with warping it to different stars (and I don't have purple unlocked yet even)

[tame bane]

iirc you get them by unlocking them with frigate data

[left bobcat]

💀

[verbal laurel]

Advanced Mining Laser -> Curious Deposits refine into Nanites

Do missions for Pirates at Outlaw Stations

Find ALL animal species on a given planet and then go into the Discoveries tab and cash in the whole set for 1,000-3,000 nanites

[left bobcat]

How do I find a new freighter? And how would I transfer everything over? I have nipnip buds growing in here and idek how

[verbal laurel]

When you get a new freighter you can transfer your whole base setup into it

You can just buy any new freighter that lets you land

[left bobcat]

Oh fr? Wtf

Sounds expensive

[verbal laurel]

Easiest way to get TECH upgrades for the freighter is to kill Pirate Dreadnoughts

[tame bane]

anything is possible

I got 1b from growing nip nip

[verbal laurel]

Easiest way to get the other kind of freighter upgrades is to loot crashed freighters

[tame bane]

So I finished the autophage quest line I believe

How do I warp to purple stars now?

I presented the atlantadieum crystals to the atlas/nada

[left bobcat]

So all freighter tech things will be sent over too?

[left bobcat]

Damn where? How?

[lost jay]

how come i can't trade relics in these archeological traders anymore? i did it once like a week ago

they didn't work any more

now they blue? idk how this works lol

[tame bane]

on my freighter

pretty easy once you have a gas extractor setup for oxygen

since you can get infinite faecium and oxygen/nip nip

[left bobcat]

Will all freighter tech be sent over during exchange?

[wet sigil]

No, those need to be manually taken out and put into your inventory or starship cargo

Same with the cargo on your freighter

[left bobcat]

Alrighty

What's the best way to find a B or A class freighter? S class sounds like too much work

[wet sigil]

Level 3 economy systems

Although rolling for freighters is quite easy with a corvette

[left bobcat]

How do?

So?

[left bobcat]

No pirate systems?

Found an a class immediately but it's ugly

Btw does the species of the system determine freighter bodies?

[bitter crypt]

i don't think so

[wet sigil]

When you engage in a freighter fight, you can just leave the pilot seat of your corvette, go out the back hatch and aim your visor at the dreadnought to see it's class

[wet sigil]

Pirate systems are for S ranks, not A.

But if you are fine with either a or s, do level 3

[tame bane]

Does this matter?

[left bobcat]

Oooooooo okay

[wet sigil]

The choices will determine what kind of purple star you get for the quest, but ultimately it matters little

Since you get them all opened up all the same

[tame bane]

Sweet ty

[summer lantern]

What's a good way to get frigate modules?

[tame bane]

Duping them

They are stupid uncommon

[summer lantern]

rip

i rather not resort to exploits

[wet sigil]

The way I did it was to label every envoy that had them as their stock and check them once every few days

[verbal laurel]

Yeah dupes are lame.

Loot crashed freighters and max out your space station Envoy stuff. One of them offers free modules. Then you just visit every system near that one and pick up your freebies.

[wet sigil]

Could be considered exploit

[left bobcat]

Is it hard to get more tech slots for a freighter?

[wet sigil]

No more than cargo space

But i get them from derelict freighters, find a star whose derelict has no bugs or security, and beeline towards the final room, and make cargo bulkheads

IMHO that's the only reward worth running derelict freighters with, all other rewards are extremely mid by comparison

[left bobcat]

How do u run derelict freighters?

[verbal laurel]

"extremely mid"
you mean bad? 😛

[wet sigil]

You need to have emergency scanners which requires quite a penny

[wet sigil]

maybe?

[tame bane]

How do I get a crystalized heart?

[left bobcat]

Is that a ship tech slot?

[paper yew]

Are the only things worth slotting for freighter, the mods from pirate dreadnaught kills?

[wet sigil]

No, it's a consumable you can buy from grey market dealer on space stations

[jade dune]

I don't know why, I guess because 1st time around I got a S Class Freighter so never thought to ask. Can you have more than 1 Freighter?

[wet sigil]

Corrupted quad peda

[tame bane]

The hyperdrive range upgrades are good

[left bobcat]

In pirate space? Cool

[visual terrace]

No you can not

[wet sigil]

No, every space stations has them

[jade dune]

Bummer.

[left bobcat]

Ah. Ok so it's NOT from the trade terminal. I didn't even know stations had grey market dealers wtf. Where?

[wet sigil]

The cargo space are worth their weight in gold, once you have matter transporter, they become your inventory, accessible anywhere

[paper yew]

I thought there was a way to get free derelict freighter beacons after you did some

[wet sigil]

Under the stairs

[wet sigil]

Once a week from anomaly

Which is really slow

[paper yew]

Where in the anomaly

[wet sigil]

One of the NPCs on the right side of the anomaly

Helios I think his name is

[paper yew]

Where do I get a Remembrance?

[tame bane]

we did it boys

[wet sigil]

You get it during the Artemis story

[paper yew]

Ah, during the Purge

[wet sigil]

Yep

[left bobcat]

How do I find my frigate inventory and rename them?

[wet sigil]

Renaming them, it's a matter of checking your fleet, go into the frigate you want to change name, and click on the pencil icon

For inventory, you have to teleport to the frigate (there is a button for it) and interact with one of the terminals there

[worn oxide]

go to the upgrade control panel in your freighter and unlock the storage room blueprints and build the storage rooms, once built you can go to the control panel in the storage room and rename it to whatever

[left bobcat]

Where's the upgrade control panel for teb freighter? 🥹

[worn oxide]

its in the center under the big red orb circle around it there is more than one panel to look at

[hot birch]

Does anyone have a quick and reliable way to quickly get a ship? I've been sitting in a space station for a reasonable amount of time and none have spawned

[left bobcat]

Thanks!b

[worn oxide]

np if you need some salvaged frigate modules i got you

[hot birch]

I also don't want to have to deal with the ai carrier fragment stuff

[tame bane]

the gas giant tornados are insane

[worn oxide]

if you save then reload in the station the waves will restart

ooops wrong one

meant to click other message lol

[wet sigil]

Yep

[hot birch]

That worked

[hot birch]

All good

[left bobcat]

Frigates get modules too? 😭😭
This game got too much going on

Which means I'll never run out of things to do 😏

[worn oxide]

they are to learn upgrades for your freighter

[left bobcat]

Oh what

How's that work?

[worn oxide]

by using salvaged frigate modules to learn upgrades in the freighter control panel

[wet sigil]

They work exactly like the anomaly upgrades, just the source of the item and where you unlock them are different

[worn oxide]

each upgrade costs a certain quantity of them

not nearly as much as what you learn in the anomaly

[hot birch]

(In the sense that Salvaged Data ~ Salvaged Frigate Modules)

[wet sigil]

Yup

[left bobcat]

They seem plenty expensive to me xd

[dire marlin]

What information do you guys look at on the galaxy to find places to check for a perfect homeworld

[worn oxide]

yeah its expensive per one, but you only have like 2 pages of upgrades as opposed to the anomaly you got like 1000 things to learn ranging from the price of 1-20 salvage

granted if you do the story it teaches you many of the blueprints to cut the cost of salvage

[hot birch]

It depends on what stage of the game you're at. I normally try looking for a lush planet, but they can be hard to find early game. Also make sure that your planet has mild weather... 😅

[wet sigil]

You need a total of 89 modules for everything

[left bobcat]

Maybe I should continue the story 🤔

Which story?

[dire marlin]

That’s what I’m looking for, or a paradise someone told me to check Yellow systems with G and F 1-6 ¿

[worn oxide]

well lots of quests teach blueprints like the base building one gives some

[wet sigil]

For me, lush, then the grass colour, then the location of the S ranks magnetic hotspots (preferably water facing, and absolutely not in a valley)

[hot birch]

Yeah, you'll have more luck in a lush galaxy tho. I believe the first one is Eissentam

[dire marlin]

I’m still in the starter galaxy trying to get settled in on my survival 🤧

[worn oxide]

yes eissentam will dramatically increase your chances of finding lush planets

[hot birch]

A class magnetic hotspots will also work for almost all of your base needs

[hot birch]

Ah, I think the G and F ones do give you the highest chance regardless of galaxy but it might take a while. Not sure about the numbers though

[left bobcat]

ah

[dire marlin]

Thank you so muchhh

[worn oxide]

the numbers are just a kinda a suggestion they say if you find one in the middle the system will be relatively in the middle by temperature instead of really hot or really cold. but it isnt exact

[pale abyss]

Ever since I busted a weird planet with red lighting, my screenshots in photomodr have that filter

[hot birch]

Do you have the coords for it?

[pale abyss]

No, but, I entered the photo mode in space and it disappeared

I had, only been trying it on planets

[worn oxide]

ive been in the search of finding a system with 2 planets touching but not any of the already known ones online, i want to find one in the wild

[hot birch]

Ah yeah that's happened to me once or twice on planets

What happens if I attack my outlaw freighter? Because it gives me the option to destroy the shields but I've always been too scared to actually try...

[wet sigil]

I have.. never tried that

I just assumed nothing good

[jade dune]

So I scanned a huge waste site, it's like 6 hrs away. I fly there summon my dumpcraft, loaded it then fly back to processing plant and all that loading poofed. How you supposed to get all that back to the plant? Drive 6 hours?

[worn oxide]

yes

[wet sigil]

Or find a nearest processing plant

[jade dune]

That's not gonna happen, ok thanks. I guess I can look see if one is closer I guess.

[bleak mason]

Is there a way to aim better in the game because whenever i try to shoot a sentinel its super hard

is there an autoaim button im missing)

[worn oxide]

nope you manually aim though combat scope may help a tiny tiny bit

it doesnt zoom in that great but its better than normal aiming

[hot birch]

The little animation that each of the weapons have when you lock on to a target have helped me a bit as well

[worn oxide]

i tap in burst when using the pulse spitter and it sometimes removes the recoild and fires in a straight line, other times it shoots with a wider spray pattern

[high ginkgo]

guys

i have the sentinel quad

but whenever i make it induce an egg

the egg just isnt able to be picked up

and the quad can lay infinite eggs

how can I fix this

[bleak mason]

Absolutely stunning game but Driving and aiming need a bit of work

[calm canopy]

All I did was delete a door and now I'm stuck and this is my "Save" now any ideas on how to fix this?

[worn oxide]

reload a restore point

otherwise you can try to delete the room and remake it again

oh wait saw it said you cant delete

join a friend and i believe it should spawn you somewhere other than that point

[bitter crypt]

Yeah, but multiplayer doesn't save location, so going back into singleplayer will still get you stuck

[worn oxide]

but he can modify the room when he is in another game

[calm canopy]

That might work thanks I'll try that now

[worn oxide]

then modify the room while in that other game

[calm canopy]

I joined my friend and I'm out, thanks I forgot about that lol, I was getting really upset 🤣 🤣🤣🤣

[worn oxide]

but as artemis said your location doesnt save when you join a group so the real test is for when you get back to your save

[calm canopy]

Maybe If I delete the part that I'm stuck on and then load into my single file it might be gone?

[worn oxide]

precisely, thats why i was thinking when i said to modify the room earlier

[calm canopy]

I did that it worked officially out

[worn oxide]

sweet

[calm canopy]

Thanks for the help

[fluid bridge]

what is the atlas exactly?

[hot birch]

I would take this question to #nms-spoilers

[fluid bridge]

ok

[hollow moat]

my ships are stuck on mission, there is no call from awaiting from them, do you know why?

[left bobcat]

Is there a way to change the species onboard your freighter? I just got a really cool dreadnought but it wasn't in gek space 😭

I want gek 🥹

[wet sigil]

No, you need to get a freighter in the systems with the dominant species

[left bobcat]

Gosh darn it

[left bobcat]

If I unlock stuff on a freighter and trade it in, do I have to re unlock the same stuff?

[wet sigil]

Nope, the tech unlocks follow you, not the freighter

[worn oxide]

learned tech and bluebrints will stay learned but if you add slots you cant remove those slots

you can remove tech you install before you trade the freighter in so you can put it on your new one

[left bobcat]

Ok thanks! Yeah I meant the learning part

[left bobcat]

I just collected a TON of salvaged data just to learn that it doesn't work on freighters 🙂

How do I get frigate data? 🙂

[bleak mason]

Does anyone know how to get the watchmen quest

[wet sigil]

Either having high enough reputation with either the explorer and/or merchant guilds and check their envoys, or find them on crashed freighters, or loot them off crates and boxes inside derelict freighters in space

[left bobcat]

I just died in a derelict freighter after getting nothing but slime 😭

[wet sigil]

The cold in derelict freighter is pretty rough

[left bobcat]

If I give a frigate an expedition higher than its level what happens?

[left bobcat]

I was attacked by bugs

[dense kernel]

When Using a echo locator how close to the harmonic camp do you have to be?

[scarlet gyro]

inputting portal glyphs into the portal only sends you to whatever address you keyed in within the galaxy im currently in right?

like only travelling between euclid via portal

[dense kernel]

Yes

[scarlet gyro]

dang thats a lotta addresses then mathemathically

[plucky fjord]

The echo locator will locate iirc the closest one

[wet sigil]

Chances are it will get damaged

[wet sigil]

Yeah I hate those buggers

[scarlet gyro]

and perish if pushed further (learned it the hard way)

[wet sigil]

Neutron cannons are great at dealing with them due to the bugs fragility and cannons aoe

[dense kernel]

So if if land on a a corrupt planet and scan and I get nothing that planet is empty?

[plucky fjord]

If its an abandoned system yes iirc

[dense kernel]

Ok thank you

[tropic ginkgo]

about this many, I believe the scientific quantification is "a shitload"

[scarlet gyro]

literal 16 factorial

[tropic ginkgo]

or is it only 10 glyphs you input? I forgot, then it's less

[scarlet gyro]

iirc its 12

i think

i forgor

[tropic ginkgo]

each galaxy around 4.2 bil regions times 200-600 systems (if wiki is correct)

[wet sigil]

And there are 255 galaxies

[safe glade]

is there a solution to calling a ship with aqua jets? I get this all the time and it's quite annoying, sometimes it works but most of the times I can't call the ship, there's no waves, no storm, just a flat sea but still getting "can't land here"

[tame bane]

How do you switch from third to 1st person on pc?

[gray shoal]

From Quick menu

[tame bane]

ty

[dense sparrow]

i usually get this when the planet it not loading, and you have nothing under the water but abyss. Ships can only land on water only when there is a surface underneath somewhere

[safe glade]

well the bottom is ~150-200u under, but I did land there and went exploring with the nautilon, I just got away from the ship and can't call it now, had to drive back which was pretty far away

luckily I didn't pick up any ships, otherwise I'd be doomed

[wanton sigil]

Can bought ships be customized yet?

[wet sigil]

Star ships in general can't be customised

[tame bane]

What system is best for S tier frigates?

[wet sigil]

They can only be customised when you make your own starships

[wanton sigil]

Gotcha

[wet sigil]

Same as anything S ranked

[wanton sigil]

🎲?

[tame bane]

And what is that...?

[wet sigil]

Level 3 economy or pirate systems

[wanton sigil]

I think how wealthy the system is unless it's random?

Aha

[tame bane]

How do you see if its lvl3 or pirate in galaxy map?

[wanton sigil]

The dots indicator under the dominant species right?

Iirc

[safe glade]

you need a conflict scanner

[wet sigil]

Actually hang on, frigates might go under a completely different rules actually, their rank is also dependent on the number of expeditions they have completed

[tame bane]

they seem to, im in a pirate system, and all ive found is c and b

[wet sigil]

You need to have an economy scanner installed

[tame bane]

I have an economy scanner installed rn

[safe glade]

conflict scanner

[wet sigil]

Pirate systems have 85% chance to spawn c, 5% each to spawn B, A and S

[safe glade]

this one

[wet sigil]

Conflict scanner isn't needed to find pirate systems if economy scanner is installed

[tame bane]

im already in the pirate system

[wet sigil]

Black market economy and outlaw conflict are exclusive to one anogher

[safe glade]

he asked for lvl3 as well

[wet sigil]

Level 3 conflict doesn't dictate spawn chances, level 3 economy does

But, as I corrected myself before, I don't think frigate ranks obey the normal rank rules

[safe glade]

oh I thought lvl3 conflict, like looking for freighter battles

[tame bane]

Gotcha okaty

Is S max frigate rank?

Just found this in a purple pirate system:

@wet sigil what do you think? we were talking about frigates earlier

[safe glade]

frigates upgrade pretty fast, if you short on cash you can easily make it with c/b class and in couple of expeditions they'll level up

but s class always good

[tame bane]

I got like 1B units atm

[urban crypt]

this does not look like a good deal

[safe glade]

yee get it

[gray shoal]

Yes. They stop getting better stats after 55 expeditions done so u want that has least of them done.

[tame bane]

Is the one I got alright?

Or should I try and get a better one that is all stats minus fuel cost

[urban crypt]

i think... 8mil is a waste for such low stats out the box.
the fuel use could be better, but the tripple expedition fuel bonux is nice.

[tired egret]

I have 6 players in my community in nms and want to post here to get more ppl to join, it says minimum 5 ppl so I think it should be all good but the discord server only currently has 3 ppl can I still post it?

[tame bane]

@urban crypt I mean, I currently have 1.2B units

I don't think it matters that much

[tired egret]

Damn

[gray shoal]

There is No self promo rule . Maybe try #contact-us and talk with mods about it

[wet sigil]

I have 25 supports, I care little for their exact stats as even the worst support frigates rolls won't stop me reaching the 150 stap cap across all 4 stats with any 5 frigates

[urban crypt]

in that case, if you have less than 27 frigates get it, but replace it soon with a "better" C class. I keep about 3 slots free out of 30 so i can buy more as i go.

[tame bane]

I have like 7 frigates

I thought max was 10 frigates?

[wet sigil]

30

[dense sparrow]

I still have one, i cannot make it explode 😄

[tame bane]

do different freighter tiers have different frigate capacity or something?

[tired egret]

No in #1418605454300549120

[wet sigil]

Also ranks is kinda meaningless with frigates, because they are a result of their expeditions, not something whose stats are derived from

[tired egret]

There is

[wet sigil]

Freighter tier has higher stats given to frigates when on expeditions, but the frigate max count is not dependent on freighter

[tame bane]

What is it dependent on

[wet sigil]

Nothing, 30 is the max

[tame bane]

What happens if you try to buy one when you have exceeded the max

[wet sigil]

It won't let you

[tame bane]

Can you sell them somehow?

[wet sigil]

You can dismiss them

[dense sparrow]

You'd better speak first on your next interrogation mate...

[urban crypt]

the frigate management terminal on your freighter bridge has a dismiss option.

always hire up to 30 then as they level dismiss 2 to 3 of the worst to keep some slots open for impulse purchases if you see a good C class.

[tame bane]

Oh right

I've just been ignoring everything that isn't S class now

Is that a bad strat?

[wet sigil]

For metallic frigates, yeah, you want to check it's core base stats (i.e. the stat total minus the bonuses given by it's traits)

[tame bane]

Do traits change?

[wet sigil]

Yes, they improve overtime

They usually lose their negative traits and pick up new ones

[tame bane]

How do you tell if the base stats are good?

[wet sigil]

If there are space for the said trait

You'd want to have base stats of 10 or higher

(the expedition time and fuel consumption traits do not count towards base stats btw)

[tame bane]

what about the negative traits?

so if combat stat is 8 with a +1 trait, it's bad since its only base 7?

[urban crypt]

just hire 30 frigates to fill out your fleet, send them on missions and compare the results at S class

[wet sigil]

Negative traits will eventually be replaced

But for the purposes of counting base stat total, they count

[wet sigil]

I meant stat total across all 4 stats, not just one stat, my 10 is total across all 4 stats

But I will be 100% honest, having an S rank freighter plus having all of the frigates related technology installed on your freighter often makes min-maxing frigate stats a rather pointless exercise, it's very easy to hit 150 stat cap across all 4 stats with 5 support frigates if they are not total junk

[rancid helm]

can i be overseer for multiple places?

first time encountering this choice so i wanna be sure

[wet sigil]

Yes, up to 4 settlements at once

[rancid helm]

and i can remove if i dont wnat one?

is it also recommended to pick a system or just pick the ones u find

[wet sigil]

I did not look very deeply into it

I just got 1 of each race

[rancid helm]

alright

[wet sigil]

But honestly I think gek and autophage are the most useful

[rancid helm]

this one i found is korvax

[wet sigil]

Gek because their timers are not broken (the other 3 are)

And autophage because they can produce inverted mirrors

[rancid helm]

so i should decline korvax?

[echo imp]

I'm a little confused as to why pets are not allowed on my freighter or base. Wouldn't you think have your pet in a living space so you can enjoy them the whole behind having a pet in the first place?

They have no real purpose other then to bring us players happiness? what better way to do that then to have the little dude run around your base or freighter?

[wet sigil]

It's up to you, Id say keep Korvax for now to play around with, since you can ditch at any time anyway

[rancid helm]

alr

wait isnt this really bad?

[signal cedar]

All settlements start as crap

It's up to you to manage it, make decisions that will remove negative traits and add positive ones

[wet sigil]

That is actually pretty tame, I had one that had two traits that lose me inhabitants lol

[rancid helm]

alr and the maintenece cost does it do it automatically or when i decide to

[wet sigil]

Auto

In fact settlement is isolated from you in terms of units, you cannot donate money into settlement to wipe their debt, nor do it's debt flow over to you

[empty prairie]

my settlements once reached 10 bil in debt haha

[rancid helm]

alr so i just gotta worry on keeping my units up

[wet sigil]

Their maintenance and debt doesn't affect your units, nor can you donate units to them

[rancid helm]

alr

there is an outlaw station in that system

[weary stone]

k

[pure lily]

Are there methods to block/wall up corvette doors length wise? Other than using interior decoration to block them.

[wet sigil]

So instead of 2 doors on the length side walls of hab units, you want to block off one of them without using any furnitures?

[rancid helm]

i accidentally found a paradise planet

thank god i didnt finish my base in that other planet

[signal cedar]

friendly reminder this is the #nms-questions channel

for general chit-chat we have #no-mans-sky

[mystic lake]

can this be upgraded

[signal cedar]

nope, the corvette modules have fixed class

you can install regular tech upgrades in higher class alongside the corvette modules

[mystic lake]

ah shame

I'm trying to get eggs but the wiki says that only certain creatures have them

how do i find specific creatures?

[signal cedar]

you just explore planets and hope you find them

aside from very specific cases, all archetypes of animals can spawn on all planets

[urban crypt]

we have whole fleets of frigates that spend a lot of time chillin. Would be nice to request them to scan the local and nearby systems for items.
which is to say, everytime i dont need/want something i tend to find it everywhere in glorious sufficiency. when i do need it, suddenly planets either dont have it at all, or if its present, nodes are separated by >1000U
Setting waypoints to items doesn't seem to work as well on console as on pc

[tame bane]

@wet sigil Thanks for that

because I really don't like min maxxing lol

Also are you home yet re exosuit?

Also is the mission radar in the nexus just showing the space station/local system missions?

[signal cedar]

no, Nexus missions are separate pool of missions compared to local mission agents

[tame bane]

sorry not in the nexus

[signal cedar]

or corvette missions or random NPC mission givers

[tame bane]

in the corvette i mean

[signal cedar]

same answer

there are some similar missions but they don't fully overlap so to speak

[tame bane]

sweet

[wet sigil]

Gimme 15

[tame bane]

Damn

[wet sigil]

It's fairly similar to how the reddit post does theirs, the main difference is the exosuit shield slot placement, the reddit post has them in a line, I have it in 3 corners of a square with the sentinel and autophage life support upgrades

[tall lodge]

Is there an official wiki?

[inner wedge]

There technically is but if I remember right. It’s out of date and not kept up

[gleaming yarrow]

guys you need to help me right now

[swift sand]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/No_Man's_Sky_Wiki, and the newer one https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

[tall lodge]

Thx 🙏🏻

[gleaming yarrow]

i've defeated a sentinel attack in my colony and the mission told me that there were still''unknown sentinels (there were 0)

what could i do?

and if i travel away the attack restarts

[swift sand]

usually because of a bug, but might be caused by some other stuff e.g. multiplayer enabled and playing in a group, options/difficulty/on foot combat or enemy strength options

[swift sand]

finally, do you have a mission called a trace of metal in your mission Log?

[gleaming yarrow]

no, i have already did it

[tame bane]

Does the dreams of the deep quest have an ending?

[swift sand]

multiplayer enabled and playing in a group? options/difficulty/on foot combat or enemy strength options?

[swift sand]

yep

[tame bane]

How many sunken ships do you have to find?

[gleaming yarrow]

i'm checking now...

[swift sand]

sunken crashed ship? iirc, only one sunken crashed ship poi is used in that quest

[gleaming yarrow]

on foot combat: standard...
i'm checking the other ones

[tame bane]

it just made me find 2, now a third

[swift sand]

i remember having to find a bunch of abandoned buildings, but not ships. what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen wants you to do? post a screenshot of it

[gleaming yarrow]

survival difficulty: standard...
what could it be?

[tame bane]

already done it 2x so far

[gleaming yarrow]

enemy strenght: standard

[swift sand]

• options/difficulty/on foot combat
• options/difficulty/enemy strength

what are those two set to?

[swift sand]

freighter - not ship

[tame bane]

oh im dumb

ignore me

[gleaming yarrow]

all standard

[swift sand]

try going to the space station, save+reload there, then teleport to the settlement - what do you see, still under attack?

[swift sand]

always feel free to ask 🙂

[gleaming yarrow]

i'l try...

by ship or by teleporting?

[swift sand]

teleport to the settlement from the station teleporter

[gleaming yarrow]

okk

[mystic lake]

what is this

[swift sand]

space gas cloud, harmless, cool to see

[gleaming yarrow]

oh and i tried even with the sentinel pillar to arrest planetary sentinels (they came back)

[gleaming yarrow]

nothing happened

[swift sand]

elaborate?

i.e. no sentinel attack anymore?

[gleaming yarrow]

no, they're still there...

[swift sand]

some kind of bug if you didnt change options/difficulty at all - try to save+restart game completely, if not just ignore it it will eventually go away

[gleaming yarrow]

still under attack...
they just... respawn...

[swift sand]

just ignore them, it should eventually stop the attack

[gleaming yarrow]

let's try this...

[swift sand]

i've had a similar issue before

i just ignore them - as nothing will happen to the settlement anyway

[gleaming yarrow]

now there's the other settlement!
byological invasion and sentinel attack!
i'm quitting this game...

[swift sand]

1. settlements wont die if you dont go to save them
2. it might even be that that 2nd one is bugging the 1st one

[gleaming yarrow]

probably...

[swift sand]

this really isnt something to quit the game over for lol

[calm arch]

Is it still possible to obtain the heirloom armor without the bots assitance?

[swift sand]

wait for the devs to rerun exp21 later this year

[calm arch]

So no then

Cause I'm not waitin that long

[swift sand]

if you're on pc, simply save edit/mod/rerun exp offline

[frail turret]

The invasion will wait for your arrival to trigger

[calm arch]

I'll just see if one of my friends will spawn it for me

[swift sand]

that wont work

[calm arch]

I'm not tryna go fork out 1k for a PC.

[swift sand]

you cant unlock something like that

in summary, if you cant save edit/mod/rerun exp offline/use service bot, you're out of luck

either wait for the rerun, or forget about it

[wind dust]

why cant i break ships apart for parts

[gleaming yarrow]

defeat the second settlement

[wet sigil]

What ship?

[swift sand]

can only do that with fighter, explorer, hauler or solar sail ship type

[gleaming yarrow]

trying to travel to the first one...

[wind dust]

ive tried with 2

[wet sigil]

The specific ship types, please

[wind dust]

ahh i see

[wind dust]

i lowk dk i was js buying and selling

[wet sigil]

Shuttles, exotics and interceptors cannot be broken, you most likely have gotten shuttles

[wind dust]

i got a hauler now ima see if it works

[wet sigil]

Hauler works

[wind dust]

ayy it worked ty guys

[wet sigil]

But before you do that, know that parts are exclusive to the ship type you break it from, so a hauler part can only be used to make haulers

[wind dust]

oh gg

[gleaming yarrow]

you where right

thank you so much

[swift sand]

hey nice that it worked!

happy to help 🙂

[tall lodge]

Are there big mistakes I can do as a beginner? Selling important/needed things f.e.

[tame bane]

Just sell Artemis ship for money

[swift sand]

would suggest reading these two posts:

• <#nms-commands message>
• <#nms-commands message>

no, not really. as long as we're not talking quest/mission items, you can safely discard something to make room. that said, after those quests steps/stages are done, can just delete the items. if it says for trading, sell it

[novel bone]

Depends what you care about. If you sell your starting ship/multitool you cant get them back.
Otherwise not really

[tall lodge]

Many thx

[hushed saffron]

Yeah personally I wouldnt sell the starting ship radiant pillar (but you can get another better ship to use as your main one). That thing has come in clutch for me on more than one occasion! (Also I think radiant pillar has unique markings you cant get if you fabricate the ship again later). The base multitool you can trade in for a better one later

[safe glade]

anyone knows what's that? never seen a black base computer, has no user tags no nothing

[signal cedar]

congratz on finding a wild base computer

it's a structure that can spawn in the wild

fun fact: in old versions of the game, those were the only means to setup a planetary base, we didn't have portable buildable base comps to use to claim any area

[safe glade]

oh... so, I feel like I have to build a base here now

[main stone]

Its the law

[safe glade]

I did, pretty nasty planet but seems like a must anyways

[smoky grail]

on average how long do the sentinel ships take to respawn? (the ones u find using the dissonance locator thingy)

[signal cedar]

it's not time based

and you can find the same model on different crashsites on the same dissonant planet

[tropic ginkgo]

given the size of planets and amount of possible POIs, why would you even need them to respawn

[smoky grail]

yes, tho i saw some videos on yt mentioning that they respawn after a while and that u can farm them again and again

[smoky grail]

well suppose i find a S class which gives the most amount of units when salvaged, it'd be nice if I can farm it yea?

[signal cedar]

yes but still, it's not time based, it's based on amount of interactions with different objects

we can't say how long it will the game to "forget" player interacted with given ship at given location

[smoky grail]

alright i kinda get it now, ty for the info

[hushed saffron]

Ig if you find a specific class and/or sc slot layout (which i think is also seeded per ship not system?)

I know class is idk about supercharged slots

[tame bane]

how many base archive missions are there?

I feel like it's taking forever

[blazing tusk]

I think it was 10. But definitely no more than 15 tops

[wheat cove]

I believe it's 10, after getting the landing pad blueprint

[blazing tusk]

That mission sent me back to the same spot every time. Was pretty quick to complete, but maybe that isn't the normal experience

[analog scroll]

10

[hushed saffron]

Should have been 16 smh

[raven dune]

What is this

[hot birch]

Where did you find it?

[analog scroll]

You're going to have to be more specific I'm afraid. Looks like a teleporter, but it's hard to say from that image

[hushed saffron]

I think that is the deco item cyclonic laythe?

Possibly scaled up

[pure lily]

^?

[hushed saffron]

Or lathe idk how to spell it

[swift sand]

hi! did you manage to get the game going? if not let us know!

[swift sand]

this can/would happen if we kept using the same base computer for base computer archives, yeah. have had that happen multiple playthroughs

[mystic lake]

what is the best way to farm up a lot of condensed carbon for stasis devices

[hot birch]

I collected it from my freighter cultivation rooms, and also went and manually harvested a lot

(Collected carbon and then refined it)

[swift sand]

some players will prefer building an o2 mine, refine o2 to carbon, carbon to condensed carbon - then multiply cond carbon with o2 (1+2=6)

[mystic lake]

yeah I've been doing the refining method

was wondering if theres something more automated

[swift sand]

@mystic lake personally, after nutrient ingestor and +% resources mined ingestor buff were added, i've started to just mine plants and rocks again. 500-1k carbon for a single plant? 500 dust for a single small rock? yeah, it's powerful, and it piles up really quick.

[mystic lake]

I see

carbon or c carbon?

[swift sand]

mostly carbon

[safe glade]

is there a way to increase chances of getting another living frigate? I have two but I want another one to increase chances to get spawning sacs, I only get eggs so far. I've been pulsing for hours in various systems, wasted bunch of anomaly detectors until I figured out you can just warp into another system mid pulse without losing the detector, but I still get no frigate

[hot birch]

You just have to pulse in your ship using the anomaly detector and ignore all anomalies until you see "Whalesong detected" or something like that. After ignoring an anomaly another one will spawn within 2-5 seconds

[swift sand]

1. 1 LF can be hired per system
2. after the first one, when using anomaly detector (AD), class of the frigate is tied per system
3. pop AD, pulse, stay in pulse till you see whalesong pulse encounter notification, ignore everything else
4. go for 5-10min, if nothing either reload to get AD back or warp out and back in to try once more
5. 2 attempts, nada? move on

[safe glade]

I've been going for 10-15 minutes per system, warping out to another system not to lose yet another detector, trying in another system, but nothing. only rare object, atlas and the portal things

[swift sand]

try the same system twice

[hot birch]

Do you have the dream aerial in your inventory?

[swift sand]

there's 1 LF per system, but some might take longer to spawn

[safe glade]

so I'd need to reload, right?

[swift sand]

also, definitely delete dream aerial if you still have it

[swift sand]

or warp out and back in

[safe glade]

ok I'll try

[hot birch]

I thought you needed it, no?

[swift sand]

game does tell us to delete dream aerial on the tooltip after the first one, good reminder

^

nah, we dont, it actually messes with hiring more

we can give it to someone who hasnt gotten their first LF yet, but

for us, it's useless and harmful

[hot birch]

Oh, I had it in my inventory when I found every one of my living frigates

[swift sand]

unknown why it would work in those conditions

unless it got changed recently

[safe glade]

it's in the freighter storage, but I got my living frigate one with it in the inventory, don't think that's the problem

[swift sand]

alright 2 vs 1 lol

that said, freighter storage, if freighter isn't in the same system and DA is in a storage room, you'd not have access to it

[safe glade]

no I'm in another system

[swift sand]

however, it is well known that keeping DA prevents - or i guess can prevent - additional LF pulse encounters

[safe glade]

I only have access to freighter cargo, not storage

[swift sand]

then rn it's as if you didnt have it

[safe glade]

yep

[swift sand]

this is interesting feedback though

thank you both

i shall be trying to reproduce this

it's vivid clear to me both the game tooltip saying to delete it, and the countless reports here about it causing issue till deleted

since this is NMS we're talking, constantly evolving, something definitely could have changed

[hot birch]

I don't know if I ever did get the tip telling me to delete it

[analog scroll]

It's easy to overlook

[swift sand]

it pops lower right, but many times there's multiple tooltips queuing

yeah

[hot birch]

I shall look when I'm not doing shenanigans

[swift sand]

@hot birch a bit covered up by that planet's info panel, but here:

[hot birch]

Hm

[swift sand]

for some reason i remember it being more direct still 😄

[hot birch]

Oh come to think of it I do remember seeing it but just decided to hold on to it for whatever reason

[swift sand]

yeah, like a memento maybe

here's another item that some might consider keeping, but might also become harmful to keep: cracking void egg, after completing the living ship aka starbirth quest

[safe glade]

welp, I've warped into the freighter system back, deleted the AD from the storage, went back to the previous system and after 2 rare objects got this. not sure which one was it, probably warping back into the same system twice? because I've been pulsing in different systems with my frighter nowhere near

hope to get some spawning sacs, starting to dig my living ship but I need tech space

[swift sand]

nice, s-class no less. to make them extremely OP, they're best hired at s-class, because they always spawn with 0 expeditions completed. that said, i was just thinking that DA might actually be one of the items that game is able to see regardless (or almost) of inventory access restrictions - kinda like it can do with unused void eggs (seems that only putting them in an inactive exocraft works to prevent the game from seeing them)

[hot birch]

The spawning sacs are really hard to get... I think I've gotten 3 total

[hot birch]

(Or I could also just be unlucky)

[safe glade]

would be so weird if true, I wanted to give it to someone in the anomaly so I kept it away, but doesn't make sense if the game sees it from another system

[swift sand]

spawning sacs are a lot rarer than psy eggs for sure. that said, it is possible to get a decent build in there without upgrading the tech inventory size

[safe glade]

and I did find my second one with it in the inventory 100%

[hot birch]

What are those nms and artemis things?

[swift sand]

figurines: quicksilver shop in the anomaly; they add small stats too, besides allowing a bit of looks customization on ships 😄

see <#nms-questions message>

[safe glade]

this is very similar to what I did but my SC slots setup different, so I really need to open another row

[swift sand]

i sacrificed my launch thruster stats basically.

[safe glade]

I have top and bottom right SC slots, I need extra space under that to make 2 cubes

[safe glade]

hmm, not a bad idea... I'd still want to open one more row

[swift sand]

yep, but while you dont - launch thruster is probably the least of your worries right?

[safe glade]

I need more heart modules anyways

yep, it's just slow and sluggish still, I need more heart modules

[swift sand]

if you just need upgrade modules, there's systems out there with lots of alien melody space encounters

[safe glade]

I can move the thrusters and the shield later on

not worried about eggs, I get bunch of them from current frigates, I'll collect them slowly, I need space tho

[wintry jungle]

how can i move my ground vehicle to another planet?

[analog scroll]

Build the geobay there

Or get one of the techs that allow you to summon them anywhere

[mystic lake]

is there a way to go above the 4095 refiner cap

a shame

any workarounds to it besides more refiners?

[tame bane]

Does marrow bulb only spawn on certain planets?

Or is it found on all planets underground?

[analog scroll]

Spawns in caves, should be on all planets

[hot birch]

Except water ones I believe, and gas ones (in my experience at least)

[tame bane]

Is it possible to grow them?

[analog scroll]

You can refine them, but you can't grow them https://app.nmsassistant.com/catalogue-item/raw48

[wet sigil]

mordite is growable iirc

[tame bane]

Do the base missions have an ending as well?

like weapons, scientific, agricultural research

[analog scroll]

There is an end to their missions, yes, but if you talk to the personnel again they will give you one-off tasks

[hoary dagger]

It’s already work thanks for helping

[severe crown]

Sentinel Pillars...
Console is used for shutting down sentinels planet-wide, but in order to do that you have to fight 6 waves of sentinels and defeating the last wave shuts down sentinels planet-wide? 🤨

[analog scroll]

You can get maps to sentinel pillars without fighting all of the waves

[severe crown]

Maybe I did it wrong. 😁 I was at a pillar and the console said it was locked until the sentinel forces were defeated.

One of them did drop a map, though, so I guess I can use that in the future.

[gleaming yarrow]

was that a mission?

[severe crown]

the pillar? yes.

[gleaming yarrow]

because you can shut down planet-wide sentinels without fighting

[gleaming yarrow]

trace of metal, right?

[analog scroll]

You can find sentinel pillars without any mission

[severe crown]

I'm trying to find what the name was. That sounds familiar, but looking it up, I have no settlement yet, so probably not.

[gleaming yarrow]

did the mission gave you a friendly sentinel at the end?

[analog scroll]

If they have no settlement, they were not doing Trace of Metal

[south solar]

Hello. I don't think I'm the first person to ask this, but I don't know where else to look for information other than here.
Where did the Pirate Dreadnoughts go? How can I get one of these now?

[hallow fractal]

can i get dreadnaught events if i already have one?

[severe crown]

No. It was a nexus mission. Ramdom-ish reward. Repair kits I think this one had been.

[analog scroll]

They spawn in place of the normal freighter battle in Outlaw systems and some T3 combat systems once you meet the requirements:

• 3 hours played and 5 warps since your last freighter battle
• Already own a freighter
• Space Combat difficulty cannot be set to None

[gleaming yarrow]

ohh ok

[south solar]

Ok, thank you

So I do need a freighter

[analog scroll]

To get the outlaw freighters to spawn, yes

[jade dune]

If you decide to purchase the Dreadnaught does all the stuff in your Freighter you have "poof"?

[analog scroll]

1. Dreadnoughts are free
2. You get a prompt about moving the base from one freighter to the other

[jade dune]

Including inventory?

[analog scroll]

Freighter cargo has to be transferred manually, installed tech would have to be packaged to be moved

[jade dune]

Ok thanks, almost had the last one, now I know to take out the engines 1st. I was going for the the shields.

[analog scroll]

You don't have to take out the engines first if you can do enough damage fast enough. Leaving them intact gives you a better loot pool if you choose to destroy it too

[jade dune]

Ahh okies.

[lost jay]

I don't understand how those archeological slot machine things work. I found one a while ago, I traded one item, and ever since I've come back twice but I can't do it anymore. This is how it looks, it changes.

[frail turret]

If I understand them correctly, each one is a one-off. Maybe they refresh every once in a while, but I can't tell that for sure. Isn't there anything on the wiki?

[lost jay]

idk how they are actually called to search for it but yea what you say sounds about right tho..

[gray shoal]

There is second terminal on ground lvl

[severe crown]

and a 3rd.

[lost jay]

yep, same issue all 3 terminals

[lucid oak]

How to open other color styles?

[analog scroll]

For personal ships? They're locked as expedition rewards

[ancient copper]

is there any way to get the collusus parts, without having to spend 2 hours driving to industrial waste, just to spend another 2 hours going back?

[analog scroll]

The only way to unlock most of them is via salvaging waste

[lucid oak]

Are expedition rewards random or are there expeditions you can go on and complete to get paint?

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

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

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

[analog scroll]

They're rewards from past community expeditions

[vale violet]

find a planet where the dump is closer to the processing facility

[ancient copper]

good idea. thanks

[vale violet]

also find a planet with flatter terrain

[dire marlin]

Are the exotic/royal multitools set per system like the ships or can I reroll the same system in hopes of a different color

[analog scroll]

Set per cabinet

[dire marlin]

So one system can produce different colors?

I see now thank youu

[rare heath]

can "radiant heart" be bought from the autophage terminals, or do I need to kill corrupted sentinels and hope it drops from the later waves?

[analog scroll]

All staff parts are available at Autophage terminals, but each terminal has a limited set of parts

[rare heath]

I know they have a limited set, it was just that all the comments I found through google said to kill corrupted sentinels and hope it drops from the 4-legged sentinels in wave 3 or 4, but then I'll keep searching the camps

[analog scroll]

That's the Crystalized Heart, something totally unrelated to a staff

[rare heath]

yeah, that's not what those comments said though, they specifically said radiant hearts, but at least I know I wasn't completely clueless because I too thought it was the crystalized heart that dropped from those, but 3-4 different comments and a facebook post adamantly claimed it was the radiant heart that dropped, in a direct response to questions about how to get those.

[analog scroll]

They were mistaken or wrong. Staff parts don't drop from sentinels

[clear walrus]

Cuhs

Why cant I send pictures

Oh wait I can

[analog scroll]

You can post pictures here for question purposes. Elsewhere is gated behind server roles

[empty prairie]

are there illegal upgrades for exocrafts ?

ty @analog scroll

[magic trout]

How can you get a staff?

Like this one

[analog scroll]

You have to complete the story, then complete the Autophage missions to be able to unlock the ability to buy parts

[magic trout]

All 3 story quests?

Fully?

[analog scroll]

The Artemis Path. The Atlas Path is required (until Atlas Eternal) afterward to access Purple Systems, The Space Anomaly has no objectives after the first time you visit

[magic trout]

Got it

[analog scroll]

New Beginnings must be in your mission log before you can start

[magic trout]

Okay. Thabks

[visual terrace]

How big of a stat difference is it if you find an S class ship compared to upgrading one to S? Worth worrying about?

[analog scroll]

For a given ship, no difference at all

[visual terrace]

O rly? Yea I am specifically talking about for sentinel crashes on the same planet

[fierce plover]

i currently have like 5m units and 3k ish nanites and im still in like early game what do i spend my stuff on?

[visual terrace]

Exosuit movement upgrades are pretty nice. I’m still pretty early but glad I got mine

[analog scroll]

Early on, exosuit cargo and tech slots

And tech upgrades for your suit

[fierce plover]

My cargo slots are almost maxed out and tech slots not rlly, I have a c class Sentinel ship,an c class freighter, 2 S class scanner upgrades already

[analog scroll]

You already have almost 120 cargo slots? Impressive for early game

[fierce plover]

Or well tbh i don't rlly know how many I have atm

i have 34 but it really doesnt look like u can have 120 unless im missing something

[analog scroll]

120 cargo, 60 tech max for your suit

[safe glade]

@swift sand high on success I tried to get another one, I have space in the fleet so I thought why not, anyways, 4 systems later no bueno, jumping into systems several times, reloading, nothing. I got derelict freighter from the anomaly scanner but not another frigate. maybe it's limited to one a day too? btw I deleted the dream aerial from storage before, so that's probably wasn't the issue, like I thought...

[frigid wadi]

its likely on a 3 hours of gameplay loop like the freighters

also likely with 5 systems jumped

[analog scroll]

Not for living frigates

[frigid wadi]

is there a limit on how many living frigates you can have? I know when they first launched it was only 1

[analog scroll]

It was never only 1. You can have 30 of them if you want

[novel bone]

30

As that is the limit on frigates you can have

[bleak escarp]

do these things change or its the same in every system that has explorers

[arctic sparrow]

how can i join my friend
each time i try to join
the game tells me connection to the host has been lost

[gray lodge]

Where do I get things to upgrade my freighter to s class

[analog scroll]

Can either of you see others in the anomaly?

[analog scroll]

YHou can't change a freighter class

[analog scroll]

They can change. Each tier has a pool of rewards

[gray lodge]

So you can't get s class mods and add them to make it s class?

[analog scroll]

That's not how you make something S class. You can add S class upgrade modules to anything

[gray lodge]

Yes I know this but the freighter just so happens not to be one of the things that has the option to upgrade it by its class

[swift sand]

definitely not limited to one per day. weird. hmm. what platform are you on?

[gray lodge]

The internet says add s class mods and it will become s-class other people say go find a new one I'm not sure what to do here

[analog scroll]

No, that's not how class upgrading works, and freighter class is fixed and cannot be changed

[tall lodge]

What are usual update cycles? I heard smth about an upcoming update/event

[analog scroll]

There's one coming eventually, we believe. There's no set time, no set schedule. Typically once per quarter, but that's not set in stone

[tall lodge]

Oh nice

[safe glade]

steam/mac

I'll try again tomorrow, maybe it does has a timeout or something

[arctic sparrow]

what u mean by see others

[analog scroll]

Other players walking around in the Anomaly

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of. what i was thinking of was you sending me your save files so i could try using it to farm one on my machine; alternatively, you could send glyphs to a system where you tried to get one and couldnt'.

[arctic sparrow]

i don't have any idea abt that im new to the game

[analog scroll]

Do note it is not recommended to do the story in a group, and reaching the Anomaly is a very important troubleshooting step when looking at multiplayer issues

[timid magnet]

so how do i reach anomaly and is it far through the game?

[analog scroll]

It's at the beginning of the second story mission
