Psychonic Eggs for upgrades and Spawning Sacs for slot expansion can be randomly obtained from sending a frigate fleet with one or more Organic Frigates to an expedition or by shooting at the living ship space encounter.

[shell ridge]

I send one living frigate on each mission and they can bring back gees or sacs.

[safe glade]

I only get eggs, sometimes...

zero sacs

[shell ridge]

Try !faq-livingship and livingfrigate in #nms-commands

[safe glade]

it covers everything I need to get them and I already have, I just need more tech slots

[trim crest]

im doing the autophage mission and i keep constructing the fibreglass grip but the mission dosent think i built it. what should i do

[shell ridge]

Disable multiplayer and reload the save.

[trim crest]

wait, i just moved back and it counted it

probaly something to do with multiplayer

thank you for suggestion tho 🙂

[tiny mulch]

can anyone help me on how to not lose quality after taking a photo on photomode?

[clear anvil]

if you are on steam use steam's screenshot feature

[tiny mulch]

thank you

[mighty carbon]

I always see this on space station and each station has different ones but is it there for a design or you do something and you get them?

[tropic ginkgo]

should be purely visual, you can only obtain the MT in the interactable cabinet next to the vendor

[mighty carbon]

Where exactly?!

No i mean the outfit

Not the MT

[tropic ginkgo]

there's an appearance modifier on every station, bottom floor, back area

[gleaming tusk]

is there value lost when trading ships? like am I losing money on trade in VS just selling

[mighty carbon]

Yes it's depending on how you are trading

If you do it wrongly it you will just keep losing instead of profiting

[gleaming tusk]

could you expand on that?

[mighty carbon]

Search for system that has more sell value

Same in picture

And then buy any ship and then scrap it

You get profit

[raven matrix]

I can't retire as overseer.

I decided to obtain a new settlement.
I don't like it anymore. There are no buildings currently being built and there is no new communication from overseer terminal.

What do I need to do to retire?

I already completed trace of metal on another settlement

[mighty carbon]

@gleaming tusk See in picture the sell is 48.5% and the Buy is discounted to -25.1%

This is one of the system but you can look for better ones

Like sell value is 70% or 50%

[mighty carbon]

You have to make the Productivity more than mentainace cost then you can retire

Otherwise you can't

[raven matrix]

oh god

[rain stream]

Also the economy scanner's economy surge helps

[mighty carbon]

Best and easy method upgraded building in settlement that has productivity 10k+ to S Class which later they become more than the cost

[mighty carbon]

It's more like you are saving the settlement the game force you to save the settlement citizens before you retire

[mighty carbon]

Once you find a good system try to buy ships that has value of 30m or 20m the class isn't important but the value of that ship

Then you can sell them for 70m or 60m

[tropic ginkgo]

this is incorrect
being unable to retire when you have no constructions or decisions pending is a bug

[tropic ginkgo]

nothing is preventing you from getting new settlements unless you already have 4

[mighty carbon]

It's not bug i can show you if you want

I did it before

[gusty vapor]

If I build inside a cave, will the cave move? Or is there evidence that caves move after someone builds in them?

[bitter crypt]

Caves do not move

[mighty carbon]

You didn't understand him... he just got a settlement not owning it from before...

[restive fulcrum]

how do i find corrupted sentinel planets? ive been searching dissodent systems for like 2 hours

[mighty carbon]

So therefore he's talking about the new settlement he overseaed

[bitter crypt]

Dissonant sentinels replaced corrupted sentinels

[gusty vapor]

Purple star systems

[bitter crypt]

Any dissonant planet

[restive fulcrum]

wait so dissonant sentinels are corrupted sentinel planets?

[mighty carbon]

Yep

[bitter crypt]

They aren't called corrupt anymore, they're dissonant now

[restive fulcrum]

bruh

wasted 2 hoursd but now i know where to go so thanks

[bitter crypt]

Best of luck

[gleaming tusk]

ic, thank you

[mighty carbon]

Np

[cyan ridge]

If I place an aeron part can i pick it back up?

[mighty carbon]

You mean for corvette?!

[cyan ridge]

yes

[mighty carbon]

Yeah it won't dissappears

[cyan ridge]

hmm

[mighty carbon]

You have tons of them or just few?!

[cyan ridge]

1

i need 10 of each

can u help?

[mighty carbon]

I would love to do that only if i have those parts 😂💔.

[cyan ridge]

Lol

i wish expedition was still up

[mighty carbon]

😂

[cyan ridge]

is it?

[mighty carbon]

No

They say it will be next week

Am not sure

[swift sand]

you can (simply delete it), and as long as options/difficulty/crafting isnt set to free, you'll get it in the inventory (or workshop cache if exosuit is full for example)

[tawdry urchin]

is this enough power? (I am running a teleport Inside)

[swift sand]

2 panels+1 battery for every 50kps of power needed at the base

[restive fulcrum]

first sentinel ship i found is it good?

[swift sand]

all sentinels have the same stat ranges, though there's lots of different looks - so if you like how it looks go ahead and take those items out and back out to start the claim process. remember that there's only 1 sentinel ship design per suitable system (which includes color scheme)

[trim crest]

natural A class is good

[vital estuary]

Most are C or B so an A is a good start.

[jade dune]

When you scan a ship, does it say it's an exotic?

[swift sand]

yep; also, have a really unique landing gear sound, so once you hear it the first time, it'll be an auto head turner if you're looking for them. there's 1 exotic ship design per inhabited system, drop chance is the same regardless of eco tier, 1 in 301

[ruby fox]

Is there a fast way to get salvaged data ? Or do I just gonna run around picking it up all day🤣

[jade dune]

So doesn't matter if it's 1 star or 3 star system?

[swift sand]

correct

[raven matrix]

Im trying to leave this settlement but it wont let me

[swift sand]

it actually piles up nicely, since each buried tech module drops 1-4 salvaged data. definitely the most guaranteed and easy to go to way. that said, sometimes you can find it for sale in trade terminals/npc shop at minor settlement for example, but often just in small amounts

[ruby fox]

Ok thanks

[random jewel]

Everytime I go to someones build recently, its bugged and doesnt really display right. it works for other people, and for the actual creator but just not me, and this is happening to pretty much every base I go to is bugged in some way.

First screenshot is from mine, second is how its supposed to look

[swift sand]

are you on pc? what's options/graphics/base complexity st to?

[tropic ginkgo]

is it your only settlement?

[random jewel]

My graphics are set to enhanced with 1680x1050, cant where the base complexity is in the settings

[swift sand]

show me where you are - base complexity is in that block of options that starts with texture quality

[swift sand]

so you're on mac, yes

also, is the UI actually cut up, or was that just the screenshot

[hushed saffron]

Can you edit bases made in another save file?

[swift sand]

no, wont be able to see them

assuming that you'd be using the same account to try this

[hushed saffron]

Yeah

Just curious

[swift sand]

basically done to prevent abuse i guess

[random jewel]

that was the screenshot

[swift sand]

please post the full screen screenshot, so that we can actually see the options names

also, why 1680x1050?

[random jewel]

Idk, thats just the preset that was working for me

[swift sand]

okay

[swift sand]

3rd image

[fresh cloud]

Base complexity right above anisotropic filter

[swift sand]

so, does the same thing happen with bases if you set base complexity to ultra

[random jewel]

lemme try

[swift sand]

you'll probably want to restart game after that

[worldly kraken]

How exactly can I find the system ?

[swift sand]

1. dont be playing in a group with friends while doing quests - can mess with mission markers
2. as it says, it's probably giving you that 2nd line on the tooltip mentioning a teleporter because there's a teleporter destination that's closer to the target mission system

[fresh cloud]

Open galaxy map, and it should be a system close by with the same red symbol next to it

[random jewel]

Yea its dooing the same thing

[swift sand]

go interact with a teleporter, look for a destination with that same mission icon

[swift sand]

maybe a mac issue

try to disable steam shader cache if you have it enabled

quit game, steam settings, downloads, shader cache

launch game, try again

[random jewel]

idk, it wasnt happening until recently

[swift sand]

(warp out and back in)

[random jewel]

alright i'll try that

im not even seeing anything for shader cache

[open wing]

How Do I make my ship really fast?

[swift sand]

is that fully scrolled down to the bottom?

[raven matrix]

I own 3 in total. there are no buildings being built.
there is no npc communication at the terminal.

[swift sand]

stack 3 s-class pulse engine upgrade modules - buy from space station ship upgrade module shops. supercharge them. there's diminishing returns to speeds

[open wing]

Okay thank you for that info

[random jewel]

yeah, i dont think that steam on mac has shader pre-caching, but i dont think its a mac issue, a bunch of my friends were having the same issue and their on windows/ps5

[swift sand]

then it's probably a bug with the game

[random jewel]

i did enter right next to this base from portal, if that could be causing it

[swift sand]

try to save+restart game in a diff system nearby, then warp in again via galaxy map

[open wing]

what do I do with a overwhelmed brain node?

[swift sand]

"overwhelmed"? doesn't translate into any item named in english that i can remember - can you post a screenshot?

is that living ship related or..

[open wing]

living ship related

nevermind

figured it out

also is there a point in reaching the galactic core?

[woven herald]

The 3 hours isnt in one sesh right?

[swift sand]

• if this is about a mission titled the purge, see <#nms-commands message>
• if not, well, traveling towards the core can be done just because you want to, or because you want to core warp to the next galaxy on the list

[swift sand]

right, cumulative through multiple sessions if needed

[woven herald]

Like for freigther figth

[swift sand]

yep, i understood what you were asking

3h + 5 ship warps since last battle

[random jewel]

yeah their still floating above the ground, it might just be a bug related to floating islands tbh

not much anyone can do about it

[swift sand]

yep

just raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

I don't remember a fix for that bug, assuming you've tried relog
since you're under the limit, you can just ignore it

[north laurel]

Anyone have a suggestion besides reloading the game to get back removed tech that just disappears from inventory?

[swift sand]

corvettes i assume?

[north laurel]

No, I wish

[worldly kraken]

But which destination should I even choose in the teleporter?

[swift sand]

unable to repro this issue, never noticed any of my ships losing cargo items tbh. any specific steps to reproduce?

[north laurel]

I took off all my exosuit tech including xgrade upgrade obtained over 1000 hrs to jump galaxies. Went to put them back on and their gone

[swift sand]

look at the list: either a station or base that has "closer to <mission name>" under its name or has the same mission icon bottom right - it should like, be the first destination on the list

[swift sand]

weird bug - no suggestion from me sorry. reload game if you still can, i never had that happen

they should be there, but i wouldnt rely on this - this is a bug, sulph isnt a mineral, it is a gas

that planet should have mordite on that slot

Is the waste system a permanant part of the game?

[swift sand]

@errant raft see image:

[swift sand]

yes

[worldly kraken]

I restarted the mission. Ty for the help though.

[gleaming tusk]

is there a setting that allows my friend to access my storage inv on my ship? or, at least sit down on my sofa lol

[swift sand]

ah the restart using nearby structures - so i assume you didnt glimpse anything on the space station teleporter? weird.

[swift sand]

• i assume you meant freighter, but either way no, they cant access your storage containers/rooms
• due to a bug, they cant see your freighter base atm

[gleaming tusk]

nah i mean corvette

[worldly kraken]

Yea
I tried but nothing was working. I started this mission back in January and didn't open the game after that.

[swift sand]

• when they access your storage container they see theirs, by design

[open wing]

How do I encounter a S class dreadnought

[gleaming tusk]

he cant even like sit down on sofas or chairs in my corvette lol is that a bug or

[bitter crypt]

It's pure chance

[open wing]

darn

[swift sand]

probably yeah

[random jewel]

try to reload an old save if you have one

or if you just took them out

[clever marten]

I just started playing today, let me explain loosly where I am right now: i'm at the 2nd planet that we go to after making the spaceship and I am currently doing the quest in which you're supposed to build wooden floors walls roof and what not. My question is, for the following quests do I have to stay on this planet? cuz to expand my base, I would like to go back to my original one, it seemed much more better this one seems so red and just non habitable.

main question: can i go back to the first planet to continue quests

[random jewel]

Yes

[clever marten]

yes as in I can?

[swift sand]

yes. also, we can have up to 400 base computers per save

[clever marten]

holy moly

[swift sand]

btw, we dont need a teleporter at a base to teleport to a claimed base computer

only to teleport out

[woven herald]

Soo i have proof that its been 3hrs since the last figth and i did 5+ jumps and still no figth

listen, dont bother trying to fight the game

i've seen this time and time again

<:info:850810445577453658> Why can't I trigger a warp-in freighter rescue battle, I have been playing for xyz hours and warped more than 5 times?

Short answer: You most likely have not accumulated 3h of gameplay since the last warp-in rescue battle event. Actions like alt-tabbing, opening pause menu, warping or teleporting, photo-mode or exiting the game will pause the timer.

Including the above mentioned reasoning, there could be several other factors why you can't see/trigger a freighter warp-in rescue battle, such as:

• Haven't completed Ghosts in the Machine main storyline mission yet;
• Space combat must not be set to none in your difficulty settings.
• You must warp to an inhabited system - systems that have a race icon in the galaxy map

Known bug: Multiplayer is known to cause problems during freighter farming, it is advised to disable multiplayer during the process.

For a detailed guide on freighters, type !faq-freighters in ⁠#bot-spam.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

@woven herald here's my best advice to you right now: forget rescue battles exist. go back to doing other things in game - but until the next rescue battle triggers,always exit ship in station before warping out. this gives you a safety net. next battle triggers, not the freighter you want, or in the system you want, reload restore point. wait a minute, warp out again: any inhabited system you warp to, will forcefully trigger the battle again.

doing it this way, there's no burden on you to keep track of whatever

[woven herald]

Ok :/

[swift sand]

progress quests (for sure this if you're not past ghosts in the machine main story mission), build bases, etc

[north laurel]

How far back does the backup save go. I jumped about 10 galaxies and have know idea when the disappeared.

[swift sand]

that's long gone

iow

restore point is updated every time you enter+exit your ship for example

and game doesnt' keep multiple versions of the same save

so the first time you enter+exit your ship after the bug happened, your "backup" has just been overwritten

unless ofc, you made manual backups of the save folder

but, naturally, you'd know if you did

[random jewel]

if you know the names of the upgrades you can just ask for someone to gift you them in #nms-lfg-or-trades , or just use nmsapp to get new ones delivered

[open wing]

How often do dreadnoughts spawn in a pirate system?

[north laurel]

I do have one I could go back to. Thanks to using TazMD. But it’s a long way back.

[swift sand]

once you meet the requirements to spawn it (own a freighter, have completed 2 rescue battles in the save), all outlaw systems will use the pirate freighter event style when a rescue battle event is triggered in an outlaw system. there are some t3 conflict and some outlaw systems that always trigger the pirate freighter battle regardless of 3h+5 ship warps since last battle, but as long as pirate freighter spawn reqs are met

[north laurel]

Re-crafting the tech and buying S grade upgrades isn’t a problem. It replacing the X grade ones

[open wing]

Okay what are rescue battles?

Cause I mean Ive encountered one already but it didnt meet what I wanted

[swift sand]

basically big battle events that happen when you warp to another system

[swift sand]

could use service bot https://nomansapp.com

[north laurel]

I’ve had stuff disappear from refiner’s and nothing I do fixes it. Only to log in days later and it be there. So fingers crossed.

[swift sand]

(or a save editor)

[gray lodge]

Is it already too late to join expeditions?

[swift sand]

time limited event - one goes live, it stays live for a while, then goes away - we're in the "no expedition is live atm" phase, waiting for the next, which we dont know when it will come

if you're on pc, you can unofficially run old expeditions offline

[gray lodge]

I'm on switch 2 so have to wait for new ones

[swift sand]

subscribe #nms-announcements to get notifs of news going on with the game

devs so far this year only released exp21 - which will get rerun at the end of the year, along with other possible expeditions they will release this year. they usually release 3-4 exps per year

[errant raft]

Definitely no Sulpherine or Mordite repositories. Even the both the gas nodes I've found give Nitrogen. What's the best way to get Sulpherine IYO?

[swift sand]

see image:

[tiny rune]

When's the next expedition or is there a 2026 Callander for expeditions

[swift sand]

no calendar, we dont know, we're just players

[errant raft]

Okay, so find gas nodes on that type of planet basically.

[swift sand]

yes

every single planet has o2 hotspots - most planets have o2 + another gas

Expedition Schedule

When is the next expedition?
We do not know when the next expedition will be.

👉 Expeditions are not run on a set schedule, and we have no insight as to when they may occur.

But last year there were X many expeditions!
✅ Correct! However...

There is no quota for the amount of expeditions per year. When Hello Games is ready to run an expedition, they will run an expedition.

many go with infra knife, pick your favorites they're all good after upgrades

personally i like phase beam and photon/sentinel cannon, but positron ejector, cyclotron ballista and even rocket launcher can be quite fun

helo, i need help, im unable to join my friend session, but my friend can join my session. both of our name doesnt show up in each other nms friendlist, so we coulnt try the remove and re-add friends trick. please help

have you tried to completely restart both games? what platforms are you on

[drifting yacht]

both on steam, we did try restart

[swift sand]

are you both visible on steam friends list like, online

[drifting yacht]

yes

[swift sand]

join each other via steam maybe

[drifting yacht]

also cant, the option to join via steam not show up too

wtf

nvm

it finally show up

[swift sand]

teleport to same anomaly featured base, warp to any nearby system, friend warps to, join group that way

sounds like it might even show up in game now

have fun

[drifting yacht]

i can join them now, but their name is still not there in friendlist :/ but i guess it doesnt matter now lol

Continuing astaroth's answer, the game is as fun as you want it to be, and frustrating of course but unless you have a mental state that asks you to do something, you pretty much are going to be stuck in doing what the game tells you to do, wich is okay

You can try to build something, get something, compose or do a cover of a song

But unless you want to do it you aren't going to do it

And it's okay

[left bobcat]

I just read that pirate freighters will fire on enemies that are nearby is that true?

Will dreadnoughts also do this?

Find gas deposit with mt that has survey device tech and posibly a power spot nearby deposit, make a base, build an gas extractor on top of deposit. Build silo to store extracted gas, connect with pipe , build power generator on power hotspot and connect power or if no hotspot build solar panels and battery. 2 panels 1 battery per 50 power used.

if you don't need much, you can buy the tech/arm packets, install the modules and dismantle them, many of them give wiring loom

Yeah, it's not an option through the GUI

it's only available through the raw json editing function

which allows you to edit truly everything, but just via text

[coral sigil]

RIght, that's fine. Do I need to DL anything specific to open the proper JSON?

[stuck berry]

No, it's built into both of the main save editors

including NomNom

[coral sigil]

Trying to find it atm

[stuck berry]

It's on the first menu

[coral sigil]

Ah right, Edit and Assistant is available

[stuck berry]

though idk why it's greyed out for me after I select my save

I use goatfungus since it loads my huge save faster

[stuck berry]

yeah idk why it's greyed out

on Goatfungus it works immediately

[coral sigil]

So, is there a raw editor under one of the tabs or...?

[stuck berry]

ohhhh, you need to go to Settings and enable Advanced Mode

[coral sigil]

AHA!

[stuck berry]

No, as I said before you select "Edit JSON (Advanced)" and it pulls up a built-in json editor

but first, you must have Advanced Mode enabled in the settings

[coral sigil]

Got ya, turned it on. Waiting for the app now

[stuck berry]

The value you are looking for is in BaseContext > PlayerStateData > WonderPlanetRecords > [8]

Set the WonderStatValue to something arbitrary, below like 100, 0.000000 works

[coral sigil]

Thanks, you're a great help! ❤️

[stuck berry]

Then hit Ok, then File > Save I think

[inland ermine]

Fast question regarding basebuilding, is there a landing pad that works for corvettes?

[stuck berry]

No.

[marble dragon]

If i may ask how fo you get the hypersonic propulsion unit upgrade for the colossus ???

[stuck berry]

The... what? That sounds like a procedural name for an upgrade module, are you asking how to get exocraft boost upgrade modules?

If so, you can purchase them from this lifeform aboard space stations

Each station sells them at a different class, S-Class ones aren't rare but just slightly expensive

you can install 3 of each type of upgrade module

[marble dragon]

Thx for helping 🙂

[gleaming tusk]

what is this? spoilered in case this is story related

[stuck berry]

A Boundary Failure, you can see this by aiming your Analysis Visor at it

it has a terminal to it's side that details weird stuff

[gleaming tusk]

oh ok

[lean oriole]

that was my intention, posted in wrong channel, my bad

grouch knows ball

[limpid dragon]

Should I buy this game? I only saw shorts of this game but idk anything about it, I only know it’s a space game but idk what to expect

[left prairie]

Does it matter if you comply with atlas or refuse

[torpid swallow]

is the coop feature good or is it more a singleplayer game_

[frigid wadi]

Purely for lore purposes more than anything. Its possible to find one to use for a blueprint as a base item.

[stuck berry]

Throughout The Atlas Path I think it just closes the dialogue and makes you have to go to another station, but at the end if you refuse it gives a different ending to that mission that doesn't really impact much

[frigid wadi]

Its one of the best space games out there IMO. Depends if the idea of exploring a near infinite universe appeals to you.

Game is very much a sandbox, almost like Minecraft in space.

[stuck berry]

A singleplayer game with multiplayer added as a feature, it fully works but nearly all of the main missions aren't built with it in mind and sometimes break due to it. It's more to explore together, build up each others' bases and hang out. There's also a multiplayer hub that you get access to after the tutorial that always has people in it, and has a mission board for multiplayer missions.

[buoyant condor]

Im a new player looking for help with info about expedition feel free to pm me if you can help i would really appreciate that

[stuck berry]

See this post #nms-commands message

and most people who help here don't primarily work through private messaging, they just help people in this channel unless they need help with something complicated

[tacit olive]

why do they have a gap between expeditiona tho

[stuck berry]

Because the next one is not ready yet

and if one was constantly happening, the urgency to do the current one may be diminished

[tacit olive]

but why do they get rid of the last expedition already?

[modern otter]

Hi, I already got the autophag staff. Can I get to X systems now? Or do I have to do smth else?

[stuck berry]

Because limited time stuff motivates people to play now instead of later

[tacit olive]

ohh

[buoyant condor]

Can i do previous expeditions on console

[swift sand]

not yet; see <#nms-commands message>

[tacit olive]

now i have to wait😞

[stuck berry]

Have you completed the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" that comes after? If not, see this post #nms-commands message

[modern otter]

I dont have that quest yet. Do I need to do smth else?

I still have the quest prayers to machines or smth like that

[stuck berry]

Have you fully completed They Who Returned, including both of it's submissions?

[stuck berry]

You must still finish that

[modern otter]

Alright I have to then, thanks!

[stuck berry]

You must also have completed The Atlas Path (reached Atlas Eternal)

[modern otter]

I dont know how to do that tho

[modern otter]

Done that!

[stuck berry]

It tells you in the lower right when you have the mission selected

[swift sand]

starts inside the anomaly

[modern otter]

Alright Ill try to

[modern otter]

Yeye I already did that

[swift sand]

then just follow mission tooltip lower right like grouch said; remember that you can spam H or dpad left to cycle tooltips

[modern otter]

...why do I need to cycle?

[stuck berry]

In case something else is showing instead

or it's not showing up at all, as it sometimes hides itself when it thinks it's not immediately necessary

[modern otter]

Ill keep it in mind if that happens, thanks!

[modern otter]

Okay so Im looking for new atlantid but its being hard

[ruby fox]

Is there any specific kind of planets that have S tier oxygen clouds? For mining oxygen with extractors

[swift sand]

"new atlantid"? is this part of a mission?

[modern otter]

The atlantid quest

[swift sand]

all planets have s-class hotspots, same chance, just gotta look for them

[swift sand]

what does the tooltip lower right of the screen say you need to do?

[ruby fox]

Oh ok thanks , just can’t seem to find one

[swift sand]

down to random blind luck really

[modern otter]

Activate the pulse to look for this place, but I dont see the place

[ruby fox]

Oof

[swift sand]

@ruby fox honestly, unless you're trying to scale up to really high output levels, i wouldnt bother with a s-class hotspot

[swift sand]

you need to stay in pulse till the quest encounter pops

[modern otter]

So jumping planet to planet until it happens?

[swift sand]

just aim towards a far away planet yeah, or even just empty space

[modern otter]

Man... so boring, but aright thanks!

[swift sand]

maybe you're not into the lore yeah, in that case it probably is a bit boring

[tacit lagoon]

Hey everyone so I unlocked purple solar system but I forgot to set a portal in the system for traticy in Hibbert dimension. I have been traveling through systems through galaxy map to get back to it cuz i traveled out of it but now cant find it again. Is there anyway i can find it much easier was hopping through for at least 1 hour (thats the solar systems name)

[bitter crypt]

Unless you have the glyphs for it, it's basically impossible that someone else has come across it

[swift sand]

1. did you finish the quest, or are you "stuck"?
2. do you have the system in your discoveries list? did you visit a planet in the system? then add it to wonders personal records from discoveries menu, then goto catalog&guide, wonders/personal records, cursor over it to get glyph address. portal to it. remember that portals are intragalactic

[tacit lagoon]

I mean i visited the gas planet because I needed some materials and i didn't finish the quest my quest is for that system and I know the system is in my catalog I would have to check the rest of the stuff

[stuck berry]

Then check any teleporter, is there a destination at the start of the list that says "closer to mission"?

[swift sand]

@tacit lagoon what grouch said above ^

[tacit lagoon]

Okay I'll definitely check at the teleporters cuz I checked yesterday and didn't see anything but I will definitely check again

[stuck berry]

When you have the mission tracked in your log, it should show that

[karmic vector]

make sure to select the quest (or rather reselect it) before you check

[swift sand]

maybe also look for the quest icon lower right of each of the destination boxes on the list

[tacit lagoon]

Okay ill definitely look and quick question do you have visit the space station first?

[stuck berry]

If you've visted any space station in that galaxy, or have any bases in that galaxy, the closest one to the mission area will be the one it chooses to place at the beginning of the teleporter list

[eager geyser]

Hexaberry livestock unit tips? Seem to be getting very low yield

Edit: harvested about 20 in the last 30 minutes. Is that indeed low?

[swift sand]

yeah that's low, but those guys dont really drop it much, it's not one of the produce you can just get lots of quickly through

i'd honestly probably just suggest farming it from the wild, from plants - or try to find an alt recipe that you can use to get the same produce, ditching the need for hexaberry

[eager geyser]

I just read that you can put either enzyme fluid or sweetened compost in the feeder, any beef it to that?

[swift sand]

nah, those are the old baits - removed, replaced altogether by creature pellets

auto feeder just takes pellets

even for robo fauna - even though they normally eat batteries when manually fed

[eager geyser]

Thank you

[swift sand]

@tacit lagoon just to make sure you get this ^ see Grouch's post above

[left prairie]

I feel real dumb but ages ago I could find the thing to teleporting exocrafts and now I'm tryna buy the blueprint and I can't find it anywhere i thoigjt it was on the nexus but checked all the stalls and nah

[undone slate]

It is in the nexus under exo suit. I bought it but don't have materials to craft it yet

Looks like a large radar dish

[left prairie]

Thanks I checked every one but exo suit

Is this a good setup

[tame nebula]

How do i increase what Map icons i can see on foot without the visor?

[icy halo]

So I have a little problem. I'm currently farming Sentinel ships, and I'm in a 3-star system, but I can't seem to find any S-rank ships. Is the spawn of S-rank ships predetermined ?

[hot birch]

I'm not sure you can

[hot birch]

I believe it's completely random

[hot birch]

Not bad

[tame nebula]

Does the Minotaur have a larger range? ive noticed it before but idk if its changed

[hot birch]

I think it depends on how upgraded each is, I'm not sure for base values

[tame nebula]

Aye thanks

[graceful lance]

I found a really nice planet to make a base on, but it has something called sentinels. Is it still worth making it my main base?

[hot birch]

What level?

[graceful lance]

how do I check this? I'm really, really new

[hot birch]

If you press escape (on PC) and go to discoveries it should say somewhere on the left hand side

[graceful lance]

Conflict level?

[hot birch]

No

Are you on the planet?

[graceful lance]

Yes

[hot birch]

@graceful lance

[hot birch]

Ah enforcing

How attached are you to the planet?

[graceful lance]

😭 what does that mean

I mean it's a really pretty planet
Aside from the sentinels
The electromagnetic storms
and meteor showers

[hot birch]

Ooh

I would build a base there then

Just be careful, cuz the sentinels might take notice if you mine a lot while in range, but you can just stop for a bit and it'll be fine

[hot birch]

But they won't attack if you see them

[hot birch]

That's quite nice

[icy halo]

So, if I keep farming as usual, I'll get it back, right?

[graceful lance]

i heard of something called "paradise" planets and wanted to find one

[ruby fox]

@hot birch Question for u, can I buy atlantideum anywhere or do I have to gather it? Cuz buying it would make life a lot easier🤣

[hot birch]

Eventually yes

[icy halo]

Okay, thanks. I'll try to keep going.

[graceful lance]

are sentinels hard to defeat?

[hot birch]

No, the easiest way is mining it

[ruby fox]

Ah ok

[hot birch]

Early game, yes

I would advise against fighting them

[graceful lance]

so just don't do any harvestting while they're in range

[hot birch]

You can harvest while in range but if you get a message like "sentinels are attracted to harvesting resources. Sentinels will attack if you continue while in sight" or something then stop

[graceful lance]

That's the message I got

[hot birch]

You can always move away from them, there shouldn't be too many too close together

[graceful lance]

got it, thanks a bunch

[hot birch]

Welcome

[swift sand]

@graceful lance when you see this icon glowing lower right side of the screen, it means that there's a sentinel nearby you - if you mine stuff now, it'll go and investigate, and then come to you to see if you keep doing it. you can also see the white-to-blue indicator, as to the direction it's coming from

[graceful lance]

Funny enough, this just happened when you sent this

[swift sand]

if you remain within ~150u of a spawned sentinel, but above like 40-50u, you can mine all you want basically uninmpeded

[hot birch]

I built my first base right next to a grave, and I interacted with it once, but after a bit it let me interact with it again, and it's done that ~4-5 times. Is there any reason it does this? And is there a way for me to manually trigger it?

[swift sand]

probably some kind of weird interaction bug with the base or something, i've heard this mentioned with crashed ship sites for example. i dont know of a way to trigger it

[hot birch]

Ok thanks

[swift sand]

but yeah, not supposed to

drop chances for all but living frigates, exotic and living ships

[swift sand]

analysis visor/scanner upgrade module (s-class recommended) will increase quick scan pulse range, but there's a cap (of like how many icons it will display at the same time). exocraft quick scan pulse can mark different things, like dissonance resonators (which on foot can't) also @hot birch

[swift sand]

on many planets we can find a building called sentinel pillar - this building type allows us to shutdown sentinels planet wide (and can even be reused to shut them down again later on), though the shutdown state only persists till next reload/restart or leaving the system. there's various ways to locate a sentinel pillar, for example through the sentinel boundary chart (obtaining one doesn't necessarily involve combat, see <#nms-commands message>)

while they're shutdown, it's basically sentinel free

[icy halo]

I know, I know, but is there a preset drop in S-time and A-time modes?

[graceful lance]

i think I can live with them, since I've only seen 2 so far

but I'll keep that in mind

[swift sand]

crashed ship site class is fixed - for all players that visit that same ship site. iow, the drop chance is used when the game made that planet the way it is, updates ago, and fixed (every crashed ship site) to whatever it rolled then.

i assume you meant S-class, and A-class - not sure what S-time would be

[marsh zealot]

nearly every planet has sentinels, the populations vary. you just want to avoid the aggressive sentinel planets for a base. Outlaw system planets help too

[swift sand]

when it comes to system conflict tier, remember that t1 conflict never has planetary pirate raids

[icy halo]

Basically, what I've been doing for the past three days is trying to salvage all the shipwrecks and repair them until I get an S rank, but it's been three days and I haven't found anything, so I was wondering if, when these ships respawn, there will be any new ones of a different class.

[swift sand]

nah, it will be the same class they were when you first got them or visited them

@icy halo honestly - with some strategies, e.g. sus packets tech/arms, it's often much faster to farm the nanites to upgrade a lower class ship or even build a s-class ship than it is to find a natural s-class

cant build shuttle, living, exotic or sentinel though

[hollow coral]

Where do crafted s class come in the stat range, are they random, or do they have rules. Are they as high as natural non outlaw ones?

[swift sand]

afaik they're random

people just goto diff station and get diff stats for example

[shell ridge]

Crafted and Found ships can all have the same max stats.

[swift sand]

not sure about building on outlaw vs non outlaw, if it has any "weight" to it

[hollow coral]

Cause they cant be built in outlaw right? So no outlaw nerf? Ive only ever like crafted 3 ships in 3000 hrs.

[swift sand]

can, if you got a settlement in an outlaw system with a s-class landing pad

which also has a fabricator

[hollow coral]

Ahh

I dont do settlements so cant test

[icy halo]

Damn, I didn't know that—so with the sentinels, it's super random

[swift sand]

probably wont, since we could build them before beacons

[swift sand]

best you can do is ignore t1 eco tier ofc, and focus on hunting sentinel ship sites in t3 or outlaw. last i tried this i got really lucky. 4th site found, s-class. remember that you can use the same harmonic camp to find multiple ship sites (if you mark the camp so you can return)

@hollow coral but i dont mind giving it a try

for science

[hollow coral]

Tbh in my experience you better upgrading a sentinel in outlaw than getting a natural S, seem to get higher stats

Natural S seems higher in non outlaw

[lean cairn]

Should i be warping to find this living ship ive warped so many times trying to reach the destination but ive also tried pulsing in each system to see if i get contacted but nothing is happening

[icy halo]

and for multi-tools like the Sentinel, for example, it's the same thing

[swift sand]

post a screenshot of the mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing; can force tooltips by spam pressing H or dpad left

[swift sand]

same drop chances yeah

@hollow coral interesting!

[icy halo]

Thank you so much

[hollow coral]

Well on the 3 ships ive tested lol

[swift sand]

yeah, i'll include it in the testing

i dont really pay attention to innate bonuses anymore

[swift sand]

<#nms-questions message> on the living ship post, starbirth quest info post:

If the current Starbirth mission objective mentions that Unconventional travel may be required to progress

[hollow coral]

Thing is with sentinel mts they do upgrade to max dmg even in outlaw systems, according to my limited testing

[swift sand]

they were referring to 5% drop chance for s-class

not the innate bonus upgrade thing

[hot birch]

What's the best figurine to install in my living ship? (If I only want to install one)

[swift sand]

clicking the "image" hypertext link here (see image) would open this:

https://imgur.com/faq-livingship-soul-chamber-stage-portal-address-dLdO6Kd

^ that's the euclid address you need to portal to.

[icy halo]

@swift sand But that makes me wonder: in a system, isn't it different? For example, if I stop at a merchant's counter, can I drop the same ship but as an S-rank, an A-rank, or a C-rank?

[shell ridge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1354566680302587944/image.png?ex=69d42487&is=69d2d307&hm=973e6fe7b2d96c8323ec80cf34eb05c764dd47229323968ac5211883911d5021&

[swift sand]

the game keeps infinitely spawning npcs with ships at the station when you're around - this is different, class is rolled every time a ship spawns. game can spawn the same ship hundreds of times

[stuck berry]

each time, their classes are rolled differently

[hot birch]

Do you know what the damage bonus is?

[icy halo]

I didn't quite understand

[swift sand]

so if there's like 28% for A-class in t3 eco, a-class will be a lot more common to spawn than s-class in the long run/overall, which only has 2%

[shell ridge]

8% iirc

[hot birch]

Ok, thx

[hollow coral]

I meant that there is no benefit from getting a natural s class sentinel mt, as opposed to upgrading one to S except to save on nanites

And as BK has just said, with the chance so low sometimes to get a natural s, its sometimes worth considering getting an A class and upgrading it. All depends how much time you want to spend searching for an s class vs time to grind nanites to upgrade.

[limpid dragon]

do i need good specs for this game ? cuz i haave a 3050

[icy halo]

Ahhh, okay, okay, that puts my mind at ease, thanks

[hollow coral]

I run fine on a 3080 laptop. Its runs on ps4 and switch, so id say you are fine

[icy halo]

thanks

[river vigil]

Hi im planning on getting the game soon and saw its 60 on steam, but on the xbox launcher it is on sale for 25, so i wanted to know whats the difference and should i just get on steam for normal price?

[hollow coral]

Mod support on steam

I suppose there is on pc xbox as well

[visual terrace]

I’m about a week into the game and am really enjoying it. It runs really well tbh. I’m using a 1070ti from ancient times and run everything on high settings.

[river vigil]

so is it more worth to get on the xbox launcher directly for the sale?

[hollow coral]

Sorry ive been out of xbox eco system a few years, what is xbox launcher? I used to play on gamepass so i could play on console and pc.

[river vigil]

like the app but on pc and not the consold

[hollow coral]

Yer you should be ok

[river vigil]

alr ty i just wanted to make sure it wouldnt make a difference

[hollow coral]

Xbox tend to get patches later is all, sometimes days

[river vigil]

cause i was worried that since its from xbox and not steam it would look different or just not as good

[hollow coral]

No its same and functions same, like i say, sometimes they take longer to release updates and patches. Its all crossplay, so you can play with steam and ps players

[visual terrace]

IMO Buy on Xbox for 25. If you like the game but want it on steam for some reason in the future just buy it during their sales which happen alot for another 25. Still cheaper than the 60

My friend plays through Xbox and I play steam. Doesn’t appear any diff

[hollow coral]

Im surprised its not on sale on steam, i know they just had one

[river vigil]

i mean if i get it on xbox then i wont get on steam so i wanted to know if it was worth or not

[visual terrace]

Same I just double checked. Their spring sale ended last week.

[river vigil]

but ig i will since from what you guys say it doesnt appear too different

[hollow coral]

Should be fine on xbox, like i say only downside is xbox are usually later with updates, so some people get frustrated they have to wait for new content, whilst others play it. Thats just Microsoft checking patch system

[river vigil]

alr ill think abt it but ty

[hollow coral]

Could be same time, could be 3 days.

[visual terrace]

Isn’t the switch 1 version the version that is significantly different?

[hollow coral]

I used to run on series x and my laptop it ran fine, ultra settings

[visual terrace]

I meant the in game content. They don’t have multiplayer on switch so they?

[hollow coral]

Not on switch 1

[modern otter]

Hey so Im doing this quest about creating a new star system, I did it, but now I have to travel there and I cant find it

[wet sigil]

Is the quest "In Stellar Multitudes"?

[modern otter]

Yeah that one

[wet sigil]

The star color can be rather hard to distinguish against the blue star systems, look for your immediate vicinity and look for a star whose stellar code is either an X or a Y

[modern otter]

I have to go to a specific one, it should be marked as a quest right¿

[dusky pilot]

Do I need this

[vital estuary]

It should be, sometimes if the missions get shuffled around for some reason it wont show up unless selected.

[wet sigil]

Yes, but the star you specifically made would be the only one of that type you can actually see and visit at this stage of the quest

[modern otter]

Yeah thats the problem. There are a TON of stars how am I supposed to find mine

[wet sigil]

the star you are finding is a purple star

[vital estuary]

Its recommended, not mandatory but can use it to access some lore things and adds 1 to health if installed.

[wet sigil]

Low priority, but once you have the exosuit's tech slots maxed out, it's worth installing as you may have little alternative

[modern otter]

I know, but I cant find it. There are tons of stars

[wet sigil]

Is the quest set as active quest as Thorbert suggested?

[modern otter]

Yep

[wet sigil]

After you made the star, did you warp significantly away for any reason?

[modern otter]

Probably, had to warp to gather the mats for the jump

[wet sigil]

so you don't know exactly where you were when you made that star?

[modern otter]

Nope

[hot birch]

What's the best way to lose standing?

[wet sigil]

with a race? shoot up freighters and cargos inside systems with them as dominant race.

with a guild? not possible

[hot birch]

Ok, I just wanted to make sure that was the most effiecient

Thx

[wet sigil]

Do it in outlaw systems so you don't get annoyed by sentinels

[wet sigil]

Try warping to the other side of the galaxy or somewhere that is like in a completely different part of the galaxy, and see if there is a button "Reset the quest using nearby structure" or something like that that show up in in the quest log

[hot birch]

Do I still keep my outlaw standing?

[modern otter]

How do I do that? With black holes?

[wet sigil]

You would gain outlaw standing if you shoot up freighters iirc

[wet sigil]

yeah, black hole would be the easiest

[hot birch]

Even in outlaw systems?

[wet sigil]

Especially in outlaw systems

[hot birch]

Great, thanks

[vital estuary]

Sentinel interceptors wont spawn in space in outlaw systems so makes it easier to plunder the freighters.

[wet sigil]

I am completely out of ideas otherwise, since I only did that quest once, and I immediately warped there, so I never lost track of that star

[hollow coral]

Yer people used to do alot when it 1st was released

[modern otter]

Used black hole, remained in the same galaxy, didnt work

[hollow coral]

You probably wanna tp back, as it is that specific system, not sure if you can reset it

[modern otter]

Dont tell me that, I cant find it in my own system

[hollow coral]

Id tp back, and change waypoint to current objective? Doesnt highlight it?

[dusky pilot]

I don’t even know where I got to from I’m doing The Who returned and it just appeared there

[wet sigil]

You most likely got it from the atlas path

[modern otter]

I cant find it, I have the quest highlighted this is a pain

[wet sigil]

I know I have it set to atlas stations, but there is one for current mission

this is on the galaxy map

[hollow coral]

Yep thats what i mean, should then get a line to your destination, but you would have to teleport back to area from before you went into wormhole. Maybe last station

[hot birch]

How do I get more freighters to spawn?

[hollow coral]

What kind of freighters

[hot birch]

Civilians 😈

[hollow coral]

Probably pulse, then come out of pulse n wait for spawn im assuming

[hot birch]

Nope

[stuck berry]

Try doing so in a wealthy or outlaw system

[hot birch]

I am

[stuck berry]

pulse far enough away from the currently spawned freighters so that they despawn

[hot birch]

Oh no, they're dead

[stuck berry]

Still do that

[hot birch]

How far is far enough?

[modern otter]

GOT IT

[vital estuary]

Might have to pulse about 20 seconds or so.

[stuck berry]

until the purple marker on the holographic map that represents them disappears, if it's still there after they're destroyed which idk

[hot birch]

I found them 😈

Thanks

[vital estuary]

Should be one group that loads in when you drop pulse and sometimes a second group warps in shortly after.

[hot birch]

Yep

[ruby fox]

Is 4 electromagnetic generators enough to power 4 minerals extractors and 4 gas extractors and a small outpost ?

[hot birch]

I think so

[ruby fox]

Alright

[wet sigil]

Make sure the generators are placed near the centre of its hotspot, but yeah, 4 should be plenty, extractors don't consume all that much power

[lost sail]

What are all the materials with "jn" for? All the boxes give me that.

[ruby fox]

Ok thx

[gritty sequoia]

If i Find a C class dreadnaught and leave and go back is there a chance For class change or is it always the same?

[wet sigil]

The slimes can be slowly refined through a refiner to give nanites, while the rusted metal yields ferrite dust

[wet sigil]

It has a chance to change, I do that all the time when farming for S ranks

[gritty sequoia]

Is it Possible For a dreadnaught In a Non pirate system? cus it just happened to me

[wet sigil]

absolutely

[gritty sequoia]

Oh ok i thought i was goin crazy

[river vigil]

Is this someone’s ship or part of game

Cus I looked at it and then it zoomed off

[stuck berry]

It's an NPC frigate, they just appear in the sky, go in a direction, then warp away

[river vigil]

Oh cool

[stuck berry]

if it was another player, it would have a waypoint on them showing the players' name, and it would describe what that player is doing via the chat, with an initial message to alert you that another player has entered the same star system as you

[river vigil]

Ok

This game is amazing so far

[gritty sequoia]

Im so Pissed

i wanted that soo bad

[open wing]

If dreadnought is your power what are you without it?

[vital estuary]

At least you know what system you can find it in.

[open wing]

Nah fr 😭

Ive been warping to a bunch of systems

[vital estuary]

Been looking for a dreadnaught?

[gritty sequoia]

nah that Starship

With the Pokey things

[open wing]

Yes I have

[vital estuary]

The squids are pretty rare but it will respawn eventually somewhere in that system, they do cost a bit.

[gritty sequoia]

Oh money is truly of no concern

[vital estuary]

As long as you have a freighter and completed the rescue battle a couple times then you can get the dreadnaught battle to start happening.

[vital estuary]

Guessing it didn't let you try to buy it or it got away.

[gritty sequoia]

Yea i was Running To it and It left

[river vigil]

how do i plot cords to a planet

i need to find a signal source

nvm i see it

[open wing]

Im going insane with this dreadnought hunting

[stuck berry]

What's the problem?

[open wing]

So Ive encountered a dreadnought once

Wasnt the class I wanted

so I left it broken in that system

but now im trying to find a different one

[stuck berry]

Just warp to different outlaw systems

20% of all outlaw systems have a special property that makes them spawn a pirate dreadnought event every time they're warped to, skipping the cooldown

when you find one that begins another battle, you can just warp away and back to it to redo the battle (given it's one of those 20% of outlaw systems)

[gritty sequoia]

LES GO

[open wing]

I think im dumb

do outlaw systems look different from pirate ones?

[stuck berry]

those two terms both describe outlaw systems

they're the same thing

[open wing]

Okay well theb

Yeah

Ive been travelling to those ones

but

Ive traveled a bunch and havent wven found another since yesterday

[stuck berry]

keep trying

[open wing]

which was my only one

I know

[stuck berry]

make sure you are warping using your starship, not a freighter

also, make sure that Options > Difficulty > Space Combat is not set to None

[open wing]

Okay

Bro

I cannot

So

the previous system I say that

then bam

dreadnought next system

Thanks for the help though

and the easiest way to get the S class one is to keep doing it over and over till it is that class?

[vital estuary]

Pretty much. It can take a while.

[tame nebula]

Whats an easy way early on to get larval cores at an abandoned buildings? EDIT: The hidey hole method still works if you do it right*

[gritty sequoia]

Quick Question, so now that i have a Dreadnaught freighter i found out if i acidentally touch the Sheild Gens it will Break and same witht the Fuel Rods So would it be possible to acidentally BLOW UP my own Freighter if a Broke all thoes

[tired egret]

Use conflict scanners

Then

Just hover over the mid to high level conflictss

And you'll find a lot of pirate systems

[stuck berry]

No, our own freighters can never be destroyed or meaningfully damaged

all damage is temporary and can instantly be fixed by resummoning them

[river vigil]

is buried technology found in buried caches?

[stuck berry]

No, it's found in Buried Technology Modules

You can locate these using your Analysis Visor from a great distance, they are not rare so there should almost always be one within range

[river vigil]

just found one ty

[formal verge]

no emoji yet?

[hot birch]

Is there a higher chance for solar sails in outlaw systems?

[amber dew]

Hey, I’ve got a question

So let’s say, for example I want to build a base, but I don’t wanna do it myself

Could I have someone build a base for me?

And have it like saved so it never disappears

So I’m basically asked again if there are builders

[stuck berry]

If you are the owner of the base, then yes

aka you are the one who claimed the Base Computer

[amber dew]

[stuck berry]

you can then enable other players to build at the base for you in the Network Options

[amber dew]

Double happy gek

Thank you for the help grouch

I wonder if there’s anybody who would be willing to build

Cause I am not very good at it

Never have been

I mean, I’m great at interior design

Not very good with anything else, though at least nothing with building

[stuck berry]

You could ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades or even in #nms-base-building

[amber dew]

I asked around

And if you want, I can give you updates on whether or not anybody wants to do it

[gray lodge]

How do I get more quick silver missions?

[hot birch]

You don't

It's 1/day and the weekend one

(If you've finished the main storyline)

[gray lodge]

So can I change the date and get a new one?

[hot birch]

You can try but you might run in to some issues later

[gray lodge]

Nah I'm good then lol

[hot birch]

Have you finished the main story?

[gray lodge]

Yea already cleared the one for this weekend and today

[hot birch]

Ok

[gray lodge]

What's the tier difference?

[hot birch]

Tier?

[gray lodge]

It says community research tier 2 of 3

[hot birch]

Oh, once tier 3 is completed often more things are added to quicksilver shop iirc

[gray lodge]

So you only need to get to tier 3 to unlock new stuff or does that reset

[hot birch]

It resets every so often

[stuck berry]

Once we as a community reach tier 3, it unlocks a new thing for everyone to buy

after that, nothing new to unlock until another round of community research comes

[gray lodge]

Does this mean the more players in your group completing missions the faster the tier goes up?

[stuck berry]

Probably not, it's an objective that's cumulatively progressed by all players, requiring many thousands of mission completions

[gray lodge]

Oh damn. I've been grinding the hell out of them and wondering why it wouldn't move lol

[left prairie]

Dam i didnt know contraband sold that much

[hot birch]

Oh yeah

Gek nip my beloved

[left prairie]

Thats the new strat

[left prairie]

Can I sell my old starships

[wet sigil]

You can scrap them and sell the scraps to galactic terminals

[left prairie]

How do I scrap them

[wet sigil]

At any normal space station, at the back, the terminal that is to your left of the big central terminal that makes starships

[left prairie]

Thanks

[clever marten]

but won't doing this return pure ferrite?

how do I get magnetised ferrite

[queen blade]

I have a question about one of the main story quests I put in #nms-spoilers I hope someone can help me out it’s about the seeds of the atlas quest (I think that’s what it’s called

[paper yew]

Does "Birth a new star (1 Heart of the Sun)" actually make a new star? If so, where?

[clever marten]

I figured this out you can ignore my question

[tropic ginkgo]

flavor text, what it does is "unhide" purple systems from you on the galaxy map

[left prairie]

The wealth levels are so confusing

[glossy thistle]

Hi! I just ordered a PS5 Pro and PSVR2 & Pulse headphones and special lenses that work like eyglasses for me in VR. I also bought the NMS for PS5 on the app and I'm super excited to get to play and stream the game, I just gotta wait for the gear to arrive.

My question is about streaming: does NMS streaming into Twitch via PSVR2 require any streamer safe settings (like is there some music or some other type of content that I have to block in order to stream legally)?

[glossy thistle]

AI (Copilot) said that it's very streamer friendly and all of the content is basically NMS's own so there's no need to adjust any streamer friendly settings separately, except for voice chat (streamer is responsible for what is heard in the stream) so I should maybe toggle it off from stream when going multiplayer... I hope this answer to myself helps (and is correct)

[tame bane]

What does the squadron do?

Is it combat?

[wet sigil]

they can "help" you in space combat

By help, I mean give enemies more targets to shoot at, and their shots count as damage so they stop shield regen of your target ships if they hit

[left prairie]

I just found a colony and tryna know what recourse ill need ive just crafted the overseas base but just wanna grab all the recourse. I need so I can sus it out

[left bobcat]

How do I get rid of multi tools in my inventory?

[wet sigil]

Go to anomaly, find tethys, there is a terminal behind him that allows for the decommissioning of MTs (basically acts like scrapping it)

[left bobcat]

Which part of anomaly? 🥲 I've checked everywhere I can think of

[wet sigil]

You know the room with the teleporter? Head to the room on your left as you are facing the teleporter

He looks like this:

[left bobcat]

OOOOOOOO wtf? That's hidden asf

Thanks!

Ayo I didn't know we could get slots from that

[safe glade]

there's also a short distance teleport underneath him, if you stand facing the nexus back to the landing zone, it's on the left a bit after the stairway, easy way to get upstairs to him or the merchants

[left bobcat]

Oh thanks! I'll look for it next time

[mighty carbon]

That's very funny picture 😂.

Did you take it by yourself Frost?

[wet sigil]

Nope, took it off the wiki 😛

[tame bane]

Where is the official wiki\

[river canyon]

There isn't one

You've got fandom with ads all over and Miraheze without

https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

[tame bane]

What do the star seed and rememberance do?

[river canyon]

+1 health each, adjacency bonus for +3

[tame bane]

Is there a guide to do the exosuit?

Like best order to install them etc

Or just copy the picture pretty much?

And is the fastest way to upgrade my exosuit just warping to different systems?

[sonic wolf]

Does the max slots for my multi tool increase if i upgrade the class?

[hollow coral]

Upgrade as in slots or you mean upgrades? I guess it doesnt matter which, yes for both

[sonic wolf]

alright thanks

[tame bane]

What are these items?

[echo imp]

Okay, on my fist attempt to exchange a starship with a random traidpost pilot for the purpose of recruiting him into my squadron went a little sideways.

I found a pilot with a class A fighter. He as a pilot had pretty good stats. Each stat was good or better. I did the trade and immediately recruited him. however, for some reason once done, his stats changed not for the better. In fact really not for the better. He was traded a class S exotic starship, is there a reason his stats changed? Does the game reroll his stats when a new ship is is taken on?

[hollow coral]

If you mean slots, you can also get charts for poi on planets to upgrade slots

[hollow coral]

Sentinel upgrades on right, you get glass from killing sentinels, open them up in inventory and you can get upgrades

[tame bane]

"sentinel exosuit fragment"?

[hollow coral]

Left are autophague upgrades, you need to do autophague quest line to access i think

[hollow coral]

Yes

[tame bane]

I have done the autophage quest I believe?

I can access purple stars

And I have an autophage settlement

[hollow coral]

You can buy them from computer at autophague camps

[tame bane]

are the sentinel exosuit stats random like other illegal modules

[tame bane]

Gotcha thank you

[hollow coral]

Most stats are for most things

[tame bane]

So what's the best way to get a good exosuit

Just save reloading

I found this im trying to follow:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3053227586

[hollow coral]

I seem to think that they are in a sequence

[tame bane]

Is the fastest way to get more exosuit slots just warping between stations?

[hollow coral]

On those 2 upgrades, you can get up to 4 stats

[hollow coral]

Or the poi on planets that give them that you can find via charts, dont remember name off top of head

[tame bane]

gotcha ty

[hollow coral]

Cheaper on planet poi as its just mats and not money

[tame bane]

that's fine

I got 1.2B units lol

my freigher is a nip nip grow operation

[hollow coral]

Yer when you get to 30mill a slot can add up

Remember you can get one from station and anomoly per system

[tame bane]

Ah right

I was wondering how the anomaly mechanic worked

Thank you!!

I just got the minotaur AI as well

this is fucking sick haha

ahh this feels like too much min maxinfg

I just want something good i can copy

[safe glade]

@swift sand I know I said I'll make two freighter slots but I did 4 with backup ingredients in storage, took some time to gather eggs/syrup but #no-ragrets, this thing is addictive. I might try the mining one next

[swift sand]

you can pretty much still copy that, you dont necessarily need to place them in the same way in regards to supercharged slots, but the arrangement of the modules, etc, is pretty much how we go about it: stuff of the same type together in adjacent slots etc

[swift sand]

have fun 🙂 🤑

[tame bane]

Sweet as! Thanks :D

With atlas eternal, what happens if you do show a discovery to the atlas?

[hollow coral]

pff no ice cream

[safe glade]

there's ice cream? might try that

[swift sand]

you just get some nanites in return; atlas eternal signals completion of atlas path, dont have to keep "doing it" if you dont want to

[tame bane]

Sweet

Might as well since I gotta warp for exo slots

[wet citrus]

Should I buy this? I mean, I only have a dreadnaught

And I rarely got any trading missions

[mystic lake]

that seems quite cheap no?

Usually any S classes are well above 20 million for me

[wet citrus]

Should I still buy it?

[mystic lake]

I mean I would but I got money to burn

all frigates will eventually become s class if you use it enough

[mighty carbon]

Ofc buy it.

[mystic lake]

main thing is the traits

[tropic ginkgo]

frigates have little to do with what kind of freighter you own

it is usually preferable to purchase C-class frigates and level them up doing missions (they increase stats and lose negative traits that way)

[wet sigil]

^ this advice is sound though only applicable for metal frigates (i.e. space ship), organic (aka living) frigates you'd prefer S rank as they all start with 0 expedition

[mighty carbon]

If am you i would get that and keep sending it to expedition to improve it even more

[wet citrus]

I bought it because it looks cool lol

[mighty carbon]

That's a trade type

So it's common to find them

[wet citrus]

One of my frigates is a pirate type

[mighty carbon]

But finding S class

I do say you are lucky

[wet citrus]

Thnx, it was near a korvax station

Like... VERY near

[hollow hare]

what does this do chat

[swift sand]

remember that navigator offerings have fixed pools per system - so park freighter in a different system (and save+restart to make it stick) before the refresh (00h00 UTC)

[swift sand]

currently, no function by itself but when placed next to remembrance, it'll provide 1 health pip

[hollow hare]

Wait so i did allat for nun? 💔

[wet sigil]

I use it in my exosuit, but it's very low priority

[swift sand]

no, you did it to complete it, not for nothing. it's one of the requirements to trigger in stellar multitudes (the quest that unlocks purple star systems, atlantid drive and resonance matrix), which you'll definitely want to do

[hollow hare]

Oh i see

[hollow hare]

Oh wait i did basically everything, They Who Returned, Artemis stuff and this now... does that mean that im extra close to it?

[tame bane]

Okay so, after finishing the main story paths, all the base missions, the autophage missions

Is there any other story content to complete?

[wet sigil]

That's it I think

[tame bane]

sweet

Now gonna do atlas eternal

As a way to fill the time while I warp between systems to upgrade my exosuit

[wet sigil]

yep

Worlds Part 2 Content

How to get started...

📖 Warning: Purple systems are end-game content so you must finish certain quests before you can access them.

1. Complete the Artemis Path (the main story of the game).
   -# > !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam shows the steps.
2. Atlas Eternal must show in your mission log, once Atlas Path is completed.
3. Find a Harmonic Camp and release the multi-tool seal.
   -# > !faq-interceptor in #bot-spam shows how to find them.
4. Warp to trigger: They Who Returned and complete the Autophage missions.
   -# > !faq-echoes in #bot-spam for more info.
5. Return to space, aim towards empty space, and engage Pulse Drive, disengage when you see the quest's Space Encounter.
6. New Mission: In Stellar Multitudes.

🛑 Warning: Do not leave the Atlas Station system you'll go to in the quest without visiting its space station or claiming a base computer on one of its planets.

7. Finish the mission to reveal all purple systems on the galaxy map.

Are they planning on continuing to update NMS with the release of hello games new game?

[swift sand]

@hollow hare @tame bane see post above^

[wet sigil]

You could also try your luck and see if you can find planet side galactic trade terminals that sells drop pod maps

[tame bane]

Subject to change gotcha

[tame bane]

Sweet

Also, how do I get a crystallised heart?

[swift sand]

yes, but this is the current way to/info is up to date

[tame bane]

Sweet

[swift sand]

drop from large corrupted quad aka large spiders

[tame bane]

At least im up to date now :D

@swift sand where do I find those?

[swift sand]

often found guarding nearby buildings in corrupted sentinel aka dissonance detected planets - or when escalating wanted level on those worlds to wanted level 4 iirc

[open prism]

Hey guys! I found a starship and now I “own” it. But I didn’t fix anything on it.

Iirc I can somehow scrap it for elements of the ship. But I cannot summon it on station since it’s critically damaged. What can I do?

[tame bane]

Sweet thank you

[tame bane]

I usually just fix the pulse engine and launch thruster and limp it to the space station

[open prism]

Ye but I don’t remember where is the ship 😄 how can I find itv

[tulip dust]

@open prism see post below
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Can't summon a ship?

If you don't have a freighter or have more than 6 active ships, go to a base on a planet, and save+reload restore point. A quick way to update restore point is to enter+exit ship/seat.

You should now be able to quick menu/summon any of your ships, regardless of its condition.

This is a failsafe added by the devs to ensure players never lose ships in their collection.

How do i find a dissonant planet btw

ik what indicates one but

[tulip dust]

@hollow hare
-# to view info below, enable embeds

How to find Dissonance

Look for Dissonant systems in the galaxy map. In these systems, you'll often find at least one planet that reads Dissonance Detected in their resource list.

Notes:

• All dissonant planets can be used to farm related resources e.g. radiant shards, echo locator
• Not all dissonant systems and/or planets can spawn harmonic camps (image ). Consuming a Carrier AI Fragment should lead you to a suitable location that can spawn harmonic camps.
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[hollow hare]

oh damn

[tame bane]

So just keep looking for buildings until I find one would be best?

[swift sand]

they often just found in the wild, guarding dissonance resonators. finding buildings (they'll be guarding secure type buildings, e.g. depots, manufacturing facilities, operation centers) can be as easy as just popping a secure planetary chart while on the dissonant planet (ofc must be a gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system). that said, if this is about repairing damaged gear, simply use repair kits (easily acquired from outlaw stations contraband agent npc for example)

[tame bane]

I'm just trying to get the heart so I can summon my freighter in purple systems

Where do I get a secure planetary chart?

[swift sand]

space station, cartographer npc, exchange nav data for secure chart

[winged copper]

I just found this, what do I do with it?

[mighty carbon]

Sell it

[swift sand]

just sell for units or donate to explorer guild envoy npcs at some space stations for guild standing

[mighty carbon]

Or donate it to guild

[winged copper]

Ah ok. Thanks guys.

[tame bane]

Did you mean secret not secure?

[open prism]

Worked!

[swift sand]

yeah, both terms basically referring to the same thing

[tame bane]

Should I open the charts when im on the dissonant world to make sure they are on the correct planet?

[swift sand]

yep, best to

[tame bane]

Did that, immediately off planet lol

[swift sand]

does dissonant planet have gold or rusted metal on the list?

[tame bane]

Yeah it has rusted metal

[swift sand]

that'll be why

[tame bane]

Ah gotch

Ill try again

[swift sand]

if needed, find a diff dissonant system with a dissonant planet that doesn't have either of those

[tame bane]

Will do, thank you

I just found a planet inside a planet :O

[wet sigil]

we heard you like exploring planets, so we put a planet in your planet so you can explore while you explore...
