nms-questions

[swift sand]

havent seen other players reporting, but maybe affecting others too. try to full console restart, perhaps leave it turned off for a few minutes

[surreal plank]

this is eye straining bright orange space 😂 please tell me this can't be?

WTF is this

[livid crest]

um i cant find any visors in the shops

[ruby grove]

Same happend to me, It was working fine until HG moved their servers to newest version (xeno arena 6.30+ ) and updated all other platforms to newest version (xeno arena 6.30+)

so problem that Switch 2 is using outdated version (remnant 6.24) which caused nexus and multiplayer to stop working

All we do is to wait for update to be out on Switch 2 for fix to occur

[wanton night]

does all starships models arrive at any space station or there is fixed pool of modules to spawn at each station according to the economy and if normal or outlaw?

[wheat cove]

Each populated system has a set pool of ship models

[wanton night]

Thanks, is there anyway or list or guide to know about them, or i have to try it myself at each station

[wheat cove]

The possible permutations of ship models is massive. And there are billions of systems, most unvisited.

[livid crest]

where do i buy visor upgrades?i cant find any

[wheat cove]

There are some ship designs documented, on nmsce.com or the coordinate exchange subreddit

[wanton night]

well yeah it seemed like a silly question apologies but im new to the game 😄 but thanks a lot though

[wheat cove]

We were all new once! And the game has a very steep learning curve 😁

[wanton night]

haha yeah very true

[wheat cove]

In regular space stations, at the multitool vendor. The pool of upgrades is different in each system.

[livid crest]

oh

thanks

[swift sand]

well, nexus and multiplayer should still work just fine - you're not seeing any players than not on the same build as you atm basically, before 6.30 (switches are the only ones on 6.24 still) is before xeno-arena, you're still using the "old" anomaly layout)

[fresh cloud]

Didnt work

[swift sand]

well, submit a bug report - try different types of missions, try to notice if it's always the same type that crashes

what do i do with navigational data?

[swift sand]

usually, exchange it for planetary charts at the cartographer

planetary charts can hud mark many of the existing building types in the game

[arctic musk]

Ok, back at it today. Anyone have ANY suggestion on how to fix my Freighter Fuel recipe not unlocking? I tried resetting my ship. I tried getting fuel from someone else. I have the "plot an expedition" for a quest task, but even that didn't update when i sent out my frigate using someone else's fuel... I 'm pretty stuck in progress with this until i can figure out a fix.

[livid crest]

and with tritium hypercluster?

[swift sand]

the frigate fuel blueprints are unlocked when you progress the freighter command mission for the first time and interact with the fleet command room

I 'm pretty stuck in progress with this until i can figure out a fix.
and fwiw, you can just unlock the blueprints via freighter research terminal using salvaged frigate modules.

[arctic musk]

I interacted with the command room, but I don't get credit when I plot an expedition. Also, this doesn't make too much sense to me as I didn't have enough fuel for an expedition until another player gave me some.

[swift sand]

no. that mission i'm referring to is part of the tutorial on fleets, that triggers the very first freighter we own. interact with it at that specific point, before even sending the first fleet out, and you'll "download" the frigate fuel blueprints

open mission Log, show us your secondary missions.

[arctic musk]

I get on, my expedition is done, they all unlock.. well that solves that issue. But I don't get it that they didn't give me enough fuel for the first mission.

[swift sand]

see my prev reply

the order of it is - you get the blueprints first

then you send a fleet out

[arctic musk]

See. It's showing this, but I've just completed an expedition already.

[swift sand]

well, you basically got ahead of it somehow

[arctic musk]

I didn't get the blueprints until AFTER i sent an expedition out. not sure why.

[swift sand]

that's not how it's supposed to go

[arctic musk]

see, already completed my first one lol. It went all kind of wonky on me

[swift sand]

i've done this dozens of times, and never had this issue, simply i think because i was patient enough to wait for the fleet command mission to register

[arctic musk]

I'm just glad it worked itself out after i got fuel from someone else.

[wheat cove]

You may have had another mission active, or possibly were in a group?

[swift sand]

and also, fwiw - you'd have gotten already crafted fuel from the freighter command mission

[arctic musk]

You are supposed to yes, but i did not.

The whole thing went sideways for me

Some say it's a bug because I was in multiplayer at the time.

[swift sand]

i dont know what caused it to break, but if you were in a group at the time, that might have been why

[swift sand]

99% sure it was

[arctic musk]

haha yes that

I'm just glad to see it fixed itself.

[swift sand]

yeah. in any case, you'd still have been able to unlock them via freighter upgrade terminal on the bridge

[arctic musk]

I'm not entirely use how to get those frigate modules besides the expeditions, which i couldn't do

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message> for drop sources

[swift sand]

just unpack it to get tritium usually

[arctic musk]

I had found 1 derelict freighter but it wasn't one I could board.

[swift sand]

(talk to scrap dealer and buy coordinates - there's other sources that dont require investing units)

[wise reef]

So I am trying to build from the base menu (Z), and have a part selected, but it is not showing a visual of the part. Is there a toggle or something I might have turned off?

[swift sand]

no, if all else is well, sounds like the preview is just missing, happens sometimes. what part are you trying to place?

[wise reef]

Seamless Window on a corvette build

free placement so I can angle it

[swift sand]

yeah, dont know for sure about that. just place it and see if it works i guess

[wise reef]

I can place it, but since I can't see it while I do, it's all luck as to where it is and the angle

[swift sand]

maybe try asking around #nms-corvette-discussion , maybe someone has more ideas there

[wise reef]

and why can't I enter first-person build mode?

[swift sand]

not supported when corvette base building

[wise reef]

it used to be

[swift sand]

iirc there was some kind of trick to make use of it, but without tricks, it was never a thing afaik, and still isnt

[wise reef]

ah nvm I see in the notes you need a base building mod to do this

I assume once it's built tho you should be able to not use the mod and the finished corvette should stay as-is

[swift sand]

yep

[distant plank]

how do expeditions work? do i have to start a new playthrough/save to play them?

[swift sand]

background note: officially, can only play an expedition when one is live, there isnt one atm. unofficially, if on pc, can replay older exps offline (see pinned post in #nms-modding )

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.

[swift sand]

see starting an expedition link in the post above

there are two ways to start an exp: either using a new char i.e. started from main menu, or from an existing char i.e. from anomaly expedition terminus

phase and final expedition rewards are always unlocked account wide

[distant plank]

ok thx. when do expeditions start normally? and are old expeditions coming back so u can play them again if u havent in the past?

[analog scroll]

When HG releases one, which will be in the patch notes, and aside from the ones from current years older ones are not typically rerun. If you're on PC, you can do it, but only if you're on PC

[wheat cove]

And if you do, there may be bugs

[compact fiber]

how do i place a mineral extractor exactly in the middle of a square platform?

[analog scroll]

Build camera and careful aim. They don't snap to anything

[distant plank]

if my electric hotspot and my mineral hotspot are 800u apart. can i reach both by building a base in the middle?

[compact fiber]

i heard theres like wire glitching? i dont know what that is

[analog scroll]

And expanding the base boundaries slightly, yes

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> How to expand the default base boundary

1. Open the Build Menu near the Base Computer and select a base part. Make sure you edit the correct base on the part's info panel.
2. Walk away from the Base Computer until the Build Menu displays the Base Out of Range error (±300u).
3. Walk back until the error message disappears (inside base boundary).
4. Aiming towards your goal, place a 'building' part in front of you (each part expands ±50u). Decorations may not work to expand.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until you reach your goal, or reached maximal distance.

Note: Save/Reload within the base boundary, if expansion no longer works.

• Max expansion is ±1000u away from your Base Computer in any direction.
• A maximal distance of ±2000u can be covered with the base computer dead centre.
• Moving the base computer does not change the expandable area

Did you know? After expanding, and completing the build, you can delete the parts used for the base boundary expansion.

Shared by: tyndall_ Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[analog scroll]

There's a pin in #nms-base-building that covers it

[distant plank]

thx

[compact fiber]

Thank you!

[wise reef]

Do you know if the leapfrog method to expand the base range lets you build overlapping bases? ie -- place two base computers outside each other's normal range, then use the method to have them meet/overlap in the middle?

I kinda wanted to try this, in order to make a large city base at some point

[dire tartan]

Hello chat, do i need to complete the story before i create big ships like the ones i see online

[bitter crypt]

No, you can create corvettes at any time. You just need to buy or collect parts

You can build them at the Corvette workshops in the front of space stations

[dire tartan]

Is that like the big boi ship where u can park ur smaller ship in?

[bitter crypt]

No, those are freighters. For those, you can buy the ones you encounter in space in systems, or you can save one from pirates and take command via a warp-in rescue event

[dire tartan]

O aight thx

[lost jay]

how long does it take for upgrade traders in SS to get an extra copy of the upgrade I bought?

[analog scroll]

Save and reload will reload their inventory

Or leave the system and return

[lost jay]

oh ok cool ty

are they always the same? i mean if i buy a scanner upgrade and when i install it is +x% will it be the same "+x%" when I re-buy and re -apply?

[analog scroll]

Yes

[whole cairn]

Lf guidance on gameplay loop after main quests? What should I do to not get bored

[rare orbit]

depends on what you like? make a bazillion units and use it to max out ships/freighters? explore planets to find the perfect place for a base and build it out? try to find the perfect ship or multitool? become a pirate and turn a galaxy into an empty galaxy

[whole cairn]

Is breeding animals fun?

Do they stay in your world if you pin them in your base?

Don’t want to resummon them Everytime haha

[rare orbit]

i haven't personally done much with companions but others probably know 🙂

[tight fog]

Are weird (not mega exotic) planets more common in empty galaxies?

Alright thanks

[wanton night]

when i use the Minotaur radar to locate a distress signal and it finds a crashed freighter the buried containers doesnt show with the analysis visor, any ideas why please?

[analog scroll]

They're all in exactly the same places, just dig them up. You are out of the minotaur, correct? Save and reload

[arctic musk]

is there really NO WAY to disable auto receiving items people send in the Anomoly? I keep getting spammed with stacks of items worth 600 million each and I have no interest in handouts. Ruins the game.

every time i go to the anomoly i have to clear out my inventory

[analog scroll]

Disable multiplayer, or split stacks and fill your inventory

[arctic musk]

To be clear, i play with 2 other guys so i can't disable multiplayer

[analog scroll]

Yes you can. You can still be in a group with multiplayer in general disabled

[arctic musk]

Issue with the inventory thing is that items got sent to my ship when my inventory got full.

oh ok awesome.

[analog scroll]

Then fil your ship inventory too

[arctic musk]

and multiplayer is off

[wanton night]

ok thanks a lot

[whole cairn]

How does multiplayer work? If I have different settings than another player could we still bump into each other on a planet?

And can anyone come accross my base ?

[inland ermine]

There is one multiplayer for everyone 99% of the time

[analog scroll]

It's exceptionally rare to just run into another player outside of the Anomaly, but it can happen as long as either both players are on permadeath or neither player is

[analog scroll]

If it's uploaded, after ~24 hours, yes

[inland ermine]

So yeah, you can stumble across others and they can, by chance, find you and your stuff

[whole cairn]

How many players can be in on instance of the game? (Server size)

[analog scroll]

16 in the Anomaly, 32 on planets. Not server size, instance size. It's all 1 server

[whole cairn]

Oh shit so per planet can be 32. Otherwise. Everyone is everywhere at all times

Cool thank you

[analog scroll]

32 flying in the same system too, in the same instance

If you're near another player, regardless if you're in a team, the game attempts to put you in the same instance

[whole cairn]

Okay awesome thank you

[lusty token]

how do i reload my bolter

aaaaaaw i need phisical ammo

[analog scroll]

craft it

You know the recipe from the start

[lusty token]

yea i got it now, tought it was a part of the recepy for weapons not actua ammo

i never used the bolter till now

and its because nexus is telling me to

cause aparently my MINING device cant break a door

[analog scroll]

Every weapon uses the same ammo

[lusty token]

i can level mountains

BUT I CANT MINE A DOOR?

[umbral stratus]

I’m about 100 hours in and finally ran into another random in a space station.

[onyx turtle]

is the head of this guy from the menu banner actually in the game?

i think it looks really cool

[tropic ginkgo]

kind of, the hood is one separate part, the head is another

[wise reef]

Yeah, that's an Autophage head with a hood.

[onyx turtle]

so it's impossible to assemble this exact fit?

[analog scroll]

You can

[rain nest]

Solo!

[analog scroll]

Head 6 + hood + facemask

[wise reef]

My character is kinda similar

[onyx turtle]

ooooo i thought this game doesn't have this kind of customization

[analog scroll]

You have to unlock the autophage, but they have a lot more customization options than the other races (who still have quite a few themselves)

[whole cairn]

Is the fish bowl helmet still available? I saw one with a jelly fish too . Do you know ?

[analog scroll]

Yes, you get it through fishing

[whole cairn]

YESSSS

Thank you

You’re the goat

Do you know how to unlock poncho as well?

[analog scroll]

You buy it from the Autophage once you unlock them

[whole cairn]

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.

[inland ermine]

1. Find some sodium to recharge your shields so the atmosphere stops killing you (press C on keyboard to scan for nearby sodium plants, yellow Na symbol)
2. To make fuel, find ferrite (mine literally any rock) and dihydrogen (use scanner, look for blue H symbol), make in inventory into starting fuel (click on empty inventory slot and choose spaceship fuel)

[analog scroll]

Which egg? The Void Egg? Yes

[lusty token]

i cant find it

wait no found it

i just filtered the results

[distant perch]

So I'm doing industrial salvage for the first time - how do I know what goes where?

[acoustic relic]

Wasn't no man sky on discount 60% on all platforms but on Xbox its at 47.99$

[arctic musk]

I keep reading that you can pick up fauna and objects like the gravitino balls while in the minotaur, but i don't see how that's possible. What am i missing?

[wanton night]

is the Harmonic Camps only 1 time use or it can keep show me more crashed ships, please?

[analog scroll]

You can keep using the computer to find more sites. Put a base computer there so you can find your way back easily

[analog scroll]

It was on sale recently, but that sale likely ended

[arctic musk]

Hrmm, I can pick up a burried tech module, but doesn't seem i can the gravitino

[wanton night]

but the multi tool will only be one time?

[analog scroll]

It's still on sale on US Steam from what I can see

[wanton night]

thanks

[gray shoal]

Discounts dont last forever. This one has probably ended but there will be another around game update.

[acoustic relic]

It said till April 20

[acoustic relic]

When will that be?

[analog scroll]

I still show it on sale

If you miss a sale, it goes on sale a few times a year, but you just have to watch out for it. It's not on a schedule

[gray shoal]

No idea. Keep eye out on #nms-news-ticker

[arctic musk]

ditto

[gray shoal]

Game has updates every few months

[acoustic relic]

I said xbox

[analog scroll]

Xbox has different sale times than other platforms, same with Playstation

And Nintendo

[acoustic relic]

Rip

[inland ermine]

Look at the symbols on crates. Toxic waste goes into cauldron, radioactive goes into container, explosive goes into grinder. Everything else (tires, scrap, etc) goes into default scrapper.

[gray shoal]

Can always buy used copy if u have the drive

[acoustic relic]

Il see then thanks

[distant perch]

Ah, thank you! The tutorial mission hasn't actually covered specialist scrap types yet and as someone who's played Hardspace Shipbreaker it was a little intimidating lmao

[inland ermine]

Heyyy, fellow Shipbreaker.

Remember, use the whole buffalo ;3

[lusty token]

do i have a limit for quick silver per day?

i cant get any more nexus missions with it

[pliant abyss]

does anyone know any good outfit combos i just started yesterday

[vernal nacelle]

i dont think so, but if you are running out of nuxex missons, you can use space staiton missons, vette misson board, ect

[vernal nacelle]

experement and see what looks good

[lusty token]

i just want quicksilver

[analog scroll]

1 mission per day + 1 on the weekend

[vernal nacelle]

you can not get quicksilver without missons

[pliant abyss]

i have been but im rly bad for that type of stuff

[lusty token]

i got 3 of em tho

[vernal nacelle]

what race do you want?

[analog scroll]

They stack if you don't do them for a few days. 4 is the max @lusty token

[lusty token]

i see

[pliant abyss]

i dont mind

[lusty token]

any other way to get quicksilver

[vernal nacelle]

for a while i was -null-

[analog scroll]

Not reliably, or quickly, or in large quantities

[lusty token]

400 per mission is large quantities?

[vernal nacelle]

nada gives you small amounts when you complete main quest parts

[analog scroll]

Larger than 100 per very random deep space encounter

[vernal nacelle]

weekend missons give you 1800 qs

[lusty token]

:O

[vernal nacelle]

i know

[lusty token]

so im just a weekend day off of getting a void egg

[vernal nacelle]

yes

[pliant abyss]

?

[analog scroll]

If you're early in the story, you haven't met them yet

[vernal nacelle]

null is a head optin in the travveler race

[vernal nacelle]

but later on you will meet them

[mighty carbon]

Do you guys know what i do next?

[alpine knoll]

how do i get a cadmium drive?

[mighty carbon]

From anomaly

You research it from there

[alpine knoll]

like the blueprint?

[alpine knoll]

thank you

[winter wolf]

examine the egg in your inventory like the tooltip says

[mighty carbon]

Yes.

[bronze crypt]

Anyone know how i can transfer my save files from Steam to Microsoft?

<:info:850810445577453658> Cross Save Info

Cross-Save is now enabled for all No Man’s Sky players, allowing players to transfer save games between all platforms.

All players are invited to read about the feature, and connect their platform accounts via the “Getting Started” link here

This feature was rolled out to all players with the Beacon (5.70) update

[analog scroll]

Know that right now you cannot. Steam is a patch ahead

[bronze crypt]

But the steam version can't connect to services

[lusty token]

hey so im on a dissonant planet

i cant seem to find a portal

[analog scroll]

Then you have to figure out why, but as I said before it won't matter. Steam is a version ahead of Xbox, the saves are not compatible

[lusty token]

i only find old buildings

[analog scroll]

Locating a Portal

1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

• Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
• To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
  • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
• A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

[lusty token]

i have found a portal befoure

just not on a dissonant planet

do some planets just not have the monlith?

[analog scroll]

You find them the same exact way

[west apex]

what should I buy from this guy

[vernal nacelle]

water jets

[analog scroll]

Whatever you feel is the most helpful to tyou. If it's your first time there, you do not have to buy anything

[west apex]

what else

[analog scroll]

You only have to browse the inventory

[west apex]

?

[analog scroll]

If it's your first time in the Anomaly, the mission tells you to buy something. Even though it says that, you only need to visit the NPC, you do not need to buy anything

[west apex]

I did..

now it gave me a side quest to complete the water jet but I dont have any empty slots, where in the anomaly can I buy some

[analog scroll]

Leave it for later

After you get another tech slot (which you can buy right there at the Anomaly)

[vernal nacelle]

you can get one per systems space staiton too

[west apex]

ok

[west apex]

ahh I bought a normaly inventory slot from this one

[vernal nacelle]

tap on tech slot instead

they can only be used once

[west apex]

yeah I know too late for this space station tho

[vernal nacelle]

next one prob

[west apex]

yeah ok

why is this quest not completed it says 6/6?

[vernal nacelle]

its never complete

it never goes away

[bitter crypt]

It's an on going quest. It's just meant to help you explore each system, it doesn't actually "complete"

[west apex]

ok

[lusty token]

there a way to make traders appear more frequently

i want a relic

found a monolith

[analog scroll]

Go to a trade post

[lusty token]

u can buy them there?

[mighty carbon]

@analog scroll am stuck in this mission

When i check the egg it says the hunter and stuff like that

[analog scroll]

Portal glyphs

[vernal nacelle]

yep

[mighty carbon]

Thanks

[lusty token]

ok i jut realised that trade posts and space stations are not the same

how do i find a trade post

[analog scroll]

Correct

[mighty carbon]

That's why it was leading me to my portal base 😂.

[analog scroll]

Economy scanner has a quick menu action to find one directly

[lusty token]

is that a ship upgrade

so how do i get one

i learned

[polar glade]

if i dont own a freighter yet, is it worth it to buy a 5 mil C class? and just keep upgrading? i dont even have a base either.

[vagrant wasp]

Good Morning to you who reads this. I was wondering, in Holo-Arena, how can I challenge lower level opponents once I’ve reached max level battles? I want to level up new, low level creatures, but all available challengers are high level. Is there a way to reset or lower the difficulty?

[vernal nacelle]

thats what i did

[vernal nacelle]

possible, yes

[ivory fiber]

how do i get methane gas

[polar glade]

do you recommend it tho

or should i just save

cuz its stats are complete ass

i have 20 mil, and it only costs 5

[analog scroll]

Gas giants

Which you have to unlock

[ivory fiber]

ok thanks

[vagrant wasp]

Sweet! How would I go about doing that?

[vernal nacelle]

well, switch your team to the ones you want to train and fight!

[proven sun]

So, question: I imagine it isn't possible to get a freighter in abandoned mode, right? Or is there a way?

[analog scroll]

I don't believe so

[proven sun]

How much of the game's story exists, if any? Is there a way to access purple systems?

[wet sigil]

Purple systems are revealed immediately the first time you enter the galactic map on abandoned

[proven sun]

Interesting

I was thinking of doing an abandoned playthrough where I just search for artifacts of the dead civilization

But without frieghters that's a lot harder

[vagrant wasp]

Wow I am such a noob. Thank you!

[analog scroll]

None of the story exists, yes you can get to purple systems

[wet sigil]

AFAIK you cannot get LS in abandoned either

due to not being able to get QS

[proven sun]

I imagine you still can through condensed stellar ice

It's like the only way you need zero contact with the anomaly for, unless the synthesis also doesn't exist

[mighty carbon]

What is this?

What am supposed to do here?

[proven sun]

Shoot that thing down

You get living ship tech

[mighty carbon]

Oh

[proven sun]

This can include not procedural modules that do things like conflict scanner functions and aquatic landings and stuff like that too I think

Unless you get those somewhere else i'm forgetting

[swift sand]

no, prebuilt LS techs can only drop from psychonic eggs

[proven sun]

Ah, correct. My bad.

[swift sand]

(which are a drop from fleet exps with at least 1 LF on them)

all good, no worries

[proven sun]

Also even if it's C-Class these can be upgraded! Use nanites to "evolve" them to higher tiers up to S!

[open ember]

is there a chart that shows what extra base stats specific ship types have? kind of like how there is for multi-tools?

[lusty token]

hye so i havent even found 1 artefact on the trade posts yet

[west apex]

what is the difference between these cargo packs?

[analog scroll]

Relic. Buy them from the pilots

[lusty token]

o

[analog scroll]

Nothing. Each one is unique, shared storage. You can only build 1 of each number per base location

[lusty token]

THE FIRST PILOT

[west apex]

which one do I build to my corvete?

[lusty token]

lmao

[analog scroll]

Every pilot at trade posts

[open ember]

perfect, ty

[west apex]

which one should I build in to my corvete?

[analog scroll]

All of them

[west apex]

its not big enough tho, its the smallest most basic corvete

does the order that I install them matter?

[vagrant niche]

hi all i'm trying to buy a new ship and move the items into it like this https://youtu.be/qdc3T0fXvGg?list=PLM66-2ZCt8GvdZd1xiDAs8DPDFGauw9a6&t=3688 before claiming it but it doesn't work for me. when i try to transfer the items, they don't move into the new inventory and instead disappear. one time i claimed a new ship and it deleted all my items. any idea what's wrong?

[analog scroll]

They go into your inventory, move them from there

[analog scroll]

No, but only the items in, say, storage 0 will be in every storage 0, so build the one(s) you want to be able to access

[vagrant niche]

did you watch the video? jason moves items directly from one ship inventory to another

[west apex]

ok

[vagrant niche]

last time i tried this the items did not go into my exosuit, they disappeared completely

[gilded gull]

hey guys

does anyone have a deathworm egg i could trade for?

[normal olive]

I haven't properly played this game since before you could nuke station economies by just flooding them with cobalt so I don't really know how to earn units early on anymore.

[inland ermine]

scan

[wet sigil]

Scrap interceptors, 10m+ a pop usually

[normal olive]

Not seen those before

[wet sigil]

Also, if you are selling a lot of one item, sell them to travelling NPCs

[wet sigil]

they exist on dissonant planet

[normal olive]

I might as well be a new player lol

[wet sigil]

Your items should still be in your old ship if you didn't replace the ship, and if you just claimed it

[mighty carbon]

Took me few days to do this....

@wet sigil @analog scroll @swift sand

[wet sigil]

Corvette?

[mighty carbon]

Yeah

Took me like 4 to 5 days to build this

😂.

[swift sand]

nice, looks amazing, congrats! looks pretty finished, or do you have a question we can help with?

[mighty carbon]

I do actually how to making lights change colours?

Like inside corvette i tired but it's only white.

I haven't completed the interior due to lights

Some of them requires charging

🤷‍♂️.

[swift sand]

for the most part, we can't change the light source color afaik. it's been a while since i've used pillow lights but they seemed to be working ok when i did my xmas tree postcard last xmas

@mighty carbon just a gentle reminder about channel topic, screenies like these that dont really have a question attached to them could probably go in #nms-showcase-corvettes (and then ping others with the link to the post wherever you're having a convo)

[stoic forge]

I got spares if you need

But im on xbox so idk if we can join eachother.

[slate shale]

What do I do here I gotta go to the location but the water is too radioactive

[swift sand]

doesn't seem to be too far away. 1) you can try to acquire a radiation hazard protection module, that will help a lot (space station, observation deck, exosuit upgrade module shop; s-class recommended) 2) you could possibly make use of nautilon (the submarine exocraft), if you have it unlocked (or have the salvaged data to unlock it - space anomaly construction research station)

[edgy river]

need somee info , i finished quests and went to purple sistem but i didnt base there and i cant travel back i jumped 20+ times , idk where it is , so how ccan i find another purple sisteem. im looking for X OR Y in name sistems but didnt fint anything im looking for almost 1h

[swift sand]

did you complete in stellar multitudes? cleared it from the mission Log? if you didnt, then you havent unlocked purple stars yet.

[woven herald]

Is it a good idea if i move the installation from my hdd to

[slate shale]

1 is my best option I think as I'm a long way from home and even though it's not too far I don't think I can make it

[analog scroll]

If you were able to leave the first purple system, you unlocked them on your galaxy map, you just have to look

[edgy river]

no... but ive already traveled to purple sistems

[vagrant niche]

last time this happened was claiming a sentinel ship, which doesn't replace your old ship. after claiming, neither ship had any items in it so they were essentially deleted lol. it's probably a bug, the expected behavior is shown very clearly in the video and no matter what i do I can't replicate that and just lose the entire inventory

[edgy river]

thats wwhy i cant seee them?

[swift sand]

to your SSD? sure

[stuck berry]

Again, have you completed In Stellar Multitudes?

If not, then you have only seen one

[analog scroll]

You have to complete the mission before you can see them on the galaxy map

[stuck berry]

if you have, then you see trillions and can just go to them

[swift sand]

in short, goto and interact with a teleporter. have in stellar multitudes selected. is there a destination on the list that says "closer to in stellar multitudes" under its destination name?

[slate shale]

Is it possible to recharge my hazard protection whilst it's decreasing

[edgy river]

yea i have traveled using that mission but didnt finish it

[analog scroll]

Go finish it

[stuck berry]

Finishing it is required to actually unlock purple systems

[wet sigil]

Alright, I have never actually transferred inventory that way, I suggest avoiding repeating that step for the time being

[edgy river]

alright guys , thank you for inf and time

[woven herald]

Will prob fix my crashing issues

[scenic saffron]

How close can the fossils be to a human skeleton

[woven herald]

And long loading times

[wet sigil]

It will help with loading times, not sure about crashes though

[swift sand]

to a human skeleton?

[scenic saffron]

Protoform Skull, Ancient Ribcage, Fossilized Biped Legs, Dangling Forearms, Coiled Tailbone?

[scenic saffron]

ye

[swift sand]

if it doesn't and still crashing, let us know, we'll try to help figuring out why it's crashing

[scenic saffron]

tailbone only being there if a tail is needed for a fossil

cause primeates

[swift sand]

i dont understand the question sorry. do you mind elaborating what you're doing, what's your goal?

[scenic saffron]

Maybe I wanna replicate a human skeleton as a fossil ingame

[swift sand]

okay, and what about the "how close" bit of the question? how close... to what? where? when you're free place building a skeleton, using the bones collected?

[woven herald]

I reinstalled it and im moving it from hdd to ssd

[scenic saffron]

Like using the bones on one of the uhhhh
Fossil building thingies

[swift sand]

the fossil displays, yeah. but when you use the fossil displays, you dont get to fine tune the position of the bones - you just put the bones in the display assemble ui, assemble it, then build it from your build menu. it takes care of it automatically, basically.

[scenic saffron]

Thats what I mean, like the best bones to use

[wet sigil]

If that doesn't help with the crashing, try uninstalling, and reinstalling straight to the SSD

[woven herald]

Uhh

Yay another 30 min of my life wasted for waiting

[swift sand]

oh, so you're asking what the best looking bones would be, if the goal is to build a human-like fossil display (assuming biped display will be used?)

[scenic saffron]

Ye biped

I mean unless I didn't get the update where humans became Quadropeds

lol

[steel pebble]

i found something called Anomaly label haicio eagr and it requires rememberance what do is it give?

this

[stuck berry]

Just lore

[scenic saffron]

No idea what that is lol

[stuck berry]

Remembrance is given from the end of the main story

[scenic saffron]

Atlas Path specifically iirc

[stuck berry]

No, The Artemis Path is the main story

[wet sigil]

No, artemis, Atlas gives Star Seed

[scenic saffron]

OHHH

[stuck berry]

Though The Atlas Path gives the blueprint for Heart of the Sun, which is a resource required to install Remembrance

[scenic saffron]

I'm on ||Patterns In Time|| I think the last two quests are ||16/16|| and ||The Purge|| coorect?

[stuck berry]

indeed

[scenic saffron]

Ive finished the story and never pay attention to quest names lol

multiple times

[steel pebble]

ty

all

[livid crest]

hi when my friend tries to join to my game it says this

[stuck berry]

Then do as it says

[analog scroll]

Xbox is a different version from all other platforms (except Nintenedo)

[stuck berry]

and load that save in singleplayer to update it

[stuck berry]

That's not the current issue that they are running into

[analog scroll]

But yes, if you haven't load single player first

Well, solo, not really single player

[livid crest]

what

[analog scroll]

You have to load your save solo and save it before you can do multiplayer. This is the case after every update

[stuck berry]

Back out of that menu, then select "Play"

then select your save

then it will load you in and update your save

once in, you can immediately quit back to mode select and join your friend

[alpine knoll]

if i buy a new freighter do all my starships that are stored on the old one get transferred to the new one?

[stuck berry]

Yes, as they aren't stored on it

#nms-questions message

[alpine knoll]

ohh okay tysm

[alpine knoll]

also is there a way to grind units stated in this channel too?

[stuck berry]

Starships you own and can immeditately summon aren't stored anywhere, and starships in the starship archive also aren't tied to the freighter, they're just accessed from it

[gentle lagoon]

I am playing via xbox gamepass, and trying to play with some friends who are in steam.
They get an error stating that we have incompatible versions when trying to join me. It's been like this for almost a week. How long does it take for the patch to get approved for Xbox gaame pass? Or am I doing something wrong? I also have cross-platform matchmaking enabled and cross platform saves enabled.

[stuck berry]

6.33 has only been out for 2 days

[analog scroll]

Xbox doesn't have 6.33 yet

[stuck berry]

There was a 2-day gap where Xbox and Steam were on the same update version, but Steam then received 6.33. You will have to wait for Xbox to receive 6.33 now.

[tame nebula]

MFW When you find the most perfect planet and it has no Milk bearing or egg bearing species on land, is there a way to pick the right planets?

[fallen fog]

Hello. Today (Right now) I was roaming my star system an out of nowhere like 10-12 prople started getting into the system... as far as I know It's nothing relevant here, but I've been playing for years now and it's the only time that something like this happens to me. Is there any eay to know if I'm in a rare place or something?

[stuck berry]

There isn't really a way to know which specific creatures are on a planet before landing to check, beyond the freighter scanner room and seeing that there are ground fauna

[stuck berry]

You might just be experiencing a bug where the space anomaly instance persists into you leaving the anomaly, which means those players are still in their own systems

[tame nebula]

Atleast thats my new mission lol

[wanton night]

when im selling items should i sell to 3 star wealthy system or lower for the highest profit please?

[fallen fog]

I dont get what u mean. I've seen like 20 people coming randomly and they where floating near their space ships, so I guess they have corvets? is that the bug? it's jus visual or something?

[stuck berry]

if the items are trade goods, sell to those that have a high sell% on the galaxy map (seen with an installed Economy Scanner)
if the items aren't trade goods, it doesn't really matter where you sell them

If all of the players are near the space station, then it's just visual and they'll disappear when you save and reload or leave and come back

for them, they're in the space anomaly in their own systems

[fallen fog]

Lol thanks for the explanation. I though A clan or something eas decided to make my system their home

[tame nebula]

Theres not a way to mark specific stuff like a spot on a planet with 3 food crops right

[stuck berry]

correct, unless you specifically find that yourself and mark it yourself with a save beacon or claimed base computer or something

[tame nebula]

Oh okay so a base comp works

Okay thats much easier then what i was thinking

[shrewd needle]

what do i do if I cant find my damaged ship? I cant summon it nor can i find it to repair it

[stuck berry]

You can always summon damaged/unfueled starships after saving and reloading at a base

#nms-questions message

[shrewd needle]

you're a hero and i will give you hug 🫂

my portal base is such a clutch, good lord. those two hours last night did not go in vain

[mighty carbon]

It will be in you freighter

You will find it there

[shrewd needle]

dont have one yet

new save

[tender ravine]

whats the fastest way to get ship storage augmentations?

[mighty carbon]

Oh....

[stuck berry]

Also, damaged ships are deprioritized to be spawned on your freighter

so if you have >5 undamaged ships currently, it won't appear in your freighter hangar

[analog scroll]

Buy and scrap other ships, get them from missions, get them from guild emissaries with the right reputation level

[amber pivot]

Is anyone else not finding any grub on the vile brood planets?

[tender ravine]

whats the worst and best corvette reactors?

[stuck berry]

I am, if you can't then try switching analysis visor modes away and back

[stuck berry]

That's your choice, each do vastly different things

and you can install up to three of each and have them be functional technology upgrades

[tender ravine]

i was looking at the ceto stats as i have 2 on my ship and i dont know if its worth the waste of technoligy slots

[stuck berry]

The ceto one is usually considered the worst I think, as it's the largest and only gives shield strength (a lot less than upgrades do)

that and corvettes already have hilariously high shield strength bonus % ranges

[weary wren]

after you finish the main story and do a simulation reset, how many things actually get completely wiped?
idk if i should continue until the end or do gameplay before resetting first

[tender ravine]

thanks

[analog scroll]

Nothing

[stuck berry]

Nothing is intended to be wiped, the only thing that's affected is your suit, ship and tool tech is damaged

[analog scroll]

And you can't unlock the Autophage or Purple systems until you finish the story, whichever choice you make

[stuck berry]

also, you are given the choice to Refuse, which ||also ends the story but does not send you to a different galaxy and does not damage anything||

[urban citrus]

Is the capital shipping my freighter?

[weary wren]

thanks 👍

[stuck berry]

There is a bug where choosing to ||reset the simulation|| will wipe your entire space station teleport list, this is not intended at all

[main stone]

Oh maybe that's why my history and favorites all got wiped. Bummer cuz i had some good ones in there i didn't have bases at where i found cool ships

[proper lodge]

What biomes have increase chances to spawn in green and blue systems?

[stuck berry]

Not really any, besides their own kind and swamps in green systems

blue systems are mainly centered around their very high chance for extreme storms

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[alpine knoll]

how do i get free freighters? I saw on youtube that if we a save a civilian freighter from pirates we can get it for free

also what’s the difference between capital ships and freighters?

[stuck berry]

Progress the main story, and make sure Options > Difficulty > Space Combat is not set to None

[analog scroll]

They're the same thing, and to get one for free you have to rescue it from attack. Only the first one you rescue and accept is free, they appear after a certain point in the story

[stuck berry]

Just size/model and average initial slot count (both can reach the same upgraded slot counts per their class

[alpine knoll]

wait why?

[stuck berry]

Your first scriped Freighter Rescue Event occurs during the second mission of the main story, Ghosts in the Machine

reaching this point is required for them to ever occur on that save

[alpine knoll]

but why do i have to set the space combat to none?

[stuck berry]

I said have it not set to none

as if it's set to none, you won't experience the freighter rescue events until you change that option

[alpine knoll]

ohhh sorry

[amber pivot]

Hmm ok I’ll try that later thanks

Though lately I have been having some minor issues with the visor symbols being jumbled

[stuck berry]

Yes, switching visor modes has been observed to kinda fix that I think too

[amber pivot]

Oh really?

That’s helpful

[amber pivot]

Thank you

[bronze crypt]

uhm how the hell was i able to buy the starborn pheonix?

it was 1600 nanites

at the anomaly

i only started like 3 days ago

[stuck berry]

You had claimed the free DLC back when it was originally available, for a week during December 2024

[hushed saffron]

do creature traits (helpfulness, playfulness, etc) affect their combat stats at all?

[stuck berry]

I believe it just gives them a chance to do different things during arena battles

[bronze crypt]

ive never heard of the game back in 2024

I only just started

[stuck berry]

Well you must have claimed it back then, without thinking

it was on the front page of Steam and said free

[bronze crypt]

well maybe i did get it

[stuck berry]

a similar offer was available for an armor set in Helldivers 2

[bronze crypt]

Which of these do i continue? And should i keep the ship or get a better one?

[stuck berry]

Which one of what do you continue?

And it's up to you if you keep using the ship

[bronze crypt]

Oh mb i forgot putting a screenshot

[stuck berry]

Oh, Ghosts in the Machine, as it's the main story

a step of the main story

[bronze crypt]

ok

[bronze crypt]

Where can i buy cheap class S ships?

like the pheonix which i got for 1600

[stuck berry]

From wealthy economy systems, but none will be that cheap

some will only be a few million units, some will be dozens

[analog scroll]

No ships other than rewards will cost nanites

[proven frigate]

How do I locate the agent? I tried land and look for on foot with analyzer but it doesn't show me where to go :(

[bronze crypt]

do i buy a ship or corvette later on in the story?

[stuck berry]

That's up to you, you could do both. We don't buy corvettes though, we build them ourselves

[bronze crypt]

which do u prefer?

[stuck berry]

corvettes can take a lot of time and effort to upgrade properly, as their inventories are constrained initially by corvette modules

and they always begin at C-Class, needing to be upgraded manually to reach full effectiveness

[bronze crypt]

and what are drives and how do i get them?

[stuck berry]

drives as in the colored drives required to reach different star colors?

[bronze crypt]

i think so?

[stuck berry]

You purchase their blueprints from Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly

[bronze crypt]

ah kk

[stuck berry]

And then install them using the previous star color's resource (the Cadmium Drive only requires Chromatic Metal)

[bronze crypt]

isn't one drive free?

[analog scroll]

Cadmium is unlocked during the story or can be separately unlocked in the Anomaly

[stuck berry]

All of them require resources to install

[bronze crypt]

what do i upgrade first?

Don't think i have to upgrade my ship

[near fractal]

So is Xbox getting another weekend of no friends

[analog scroll]

We don't know

[solid berry]

has anyone had any issues with the holo-arena challengers changing outpost on planets as soon as you land on it? ive been landing at outposts just for the marker to move to the other side of the planet?

[near fractal]

So yes….

[near fractal]

Never mind the new update is out for Xbox I don’t know it automatically changes the version on drop or if you guys need to do it manually but it is out now can confirm

[analog scroll]

We have to do it manually, but I will check. Thanks for the update

[near fractal]

No prob was gonna be upset if i got another weekend of no space exploration with the boys

[bronze crypt]

@stuck berry

[stuck berry]

out of what, on what?

[lusty token]

wadahell is this

o ok im not suposed to have it

[bronze crypt]

idk

which should i

first

[fallen fog]

Any news about xeno arena on switch 2?

[bronze crypt]

idk tbh

im not on switch

[distant plank]

are all alternative cosmetics only unlockable through expeditions or can u unlock some just by playing the campaigns?

[analog scroll]

Some are quicksilver, a number of helmets are from fishing, there are a bunch of Autophage cosmetics you can purchase

[north moat]

why cant i ride my worm

[distant plank]

there are a bunch of autophage cosmetics? i saw that there were a bunch purchasable from expeditions and thought u can only get the jetpack from the campaign and i thought i finished the campaign

[pastel plaza]

Hey yall, why cant i build this one?

[analog scroll]

All of this, but you have to unlock them first

[analog scroll]

Make sure the components are in your exosuit

[pastel plaza]

Ahh ty

[distant plank]

all of these can be obtained outside of expeditions?

how?

[stuck berry]

Sandworms cannot be ridden, only flying worms

[north moat]

oh ok

[distant plank]

what do i have to do to unlock them?

[lusty token]

this is the part that takes a week?

[analog scroll]

Step 1 - Finish the story. !faq-echoes in #nms-commands for all of the steps to unlock the Autophage and be able to purchase cosmetics from them

[analog scroll]

That part takes ~24 hours. Each organ does

[lusty token]

aaaaaaw

i see

i understand now

[distant plank]

i think i already finished the echoes campaign. i already talked to an autophage but i forgor how they worked

[analog scroll]

Do you have New Beginnings in your mission log?

[distant plank]

with this symbol?

[dense rock]

I see something weird. When you swap part you got new color palette of thing's

Connected to propably seed

Of planet

[analog scroll]

What is the title of that mission in your log right now?

[distant plank]

a new galaxy waits

[analog scroll]

So New Beginnings is the title, which is what I asked for. Have you made a staff weapon?

[distant plank]

a crappy one, yes

but that was like a year ago and i dont remeber how all that worked

[analog scroll]

Use the polyphonic core multi tool tech that you got during that mission to find autophage camps. Do missions for them to earn void motes. Use the void motes to buy staff parts and cosmetics

Not every staff part/cosmetic will be available at every camp

[distant plank]

ok thank u so much

[lusty token]

@analog scroll does the timer still proceed when the game isnt on

[still orbit]

How does one get ones of these Starships?

[distant plank]

do i have to be on a special planet type to find autophage camps? because it says navigation error, no autophage signals

[analog scroll]

You had to have redeemed the DLC when it was available a year+ ago

[analog scroll]

System has to be populated

[still orbit]

Damn 😢

[distant plank]

ok thx

[fresh cloud]

There was dlc?

[still orbit]

Thank you

[analog scroll]

The Starborn Phoenix was a Steam only limited time free DLC

[gray shoal]

Its the runner. Not phoenix imo

[analog scroll]

My mistake. The Starborn Runner is from an expedition that can no longer be run under normal circumstances, and can only be rerun on PC platforms

[still orbit]

I’m on PC but have only recently started playing so don’t have a clue what’s going on most of the time 🤣🤣

[analog scroll]

My advice would be to get more familiar with how the game works before you try to run old expeditions

[still orbit]

Okie dokie. I’ll try that in a year or so then 🤣

[quiet halo]

Can anyone help me with spawning in a freighter battle I've finished the whole story and even got the autophage unlocked and I've never come across one on my own

[strong bronze]

when you are in space, do the stars in the sky match up with the actual galaxy map?

[quiet halo]

Wdym

[strong bronze]

like how theres stars in the sky all around when ur in space in a system, do the position of those stars match up with whats actually there on the galaxy map

[stuck berry]

Set Space Combat to anything except None in the difficulty options

it being set to None is most likely why you have never encountered one so far
this is selected by default in the Creative preset

[tame nebula]

How should i orientate my Automated Feeder and Livestock Unit for optimal spacing?

[stuck berry]

I don't believe so, but not sure. It's controlled by shader stuff and is procedural, so I think it's separate

[quiet halo]

Thank you so much I've been trying to fix this for nearly a year now and I just now thought to come here

[strong bronze]

damn

[timber pollen]

How do I get more technology slots for my star ship I have the one that you custom build

[stuck berry]

Same way you add cargo slots, just select technology slots instead while in the unlocking slots menu #nms-questions message

[timber pollen]

I don’t have a option about technology it said apply augmentation,purchase storage and upgrade class

[stuck berry]

Select either Apply Augmentation or Purchase Storage

[timber pollen]

I want technology slots ones that allow me to equip hyper drive stuff

[stuck berry]

Yes, and I am instructing you on how to add more

Again, select Apply Augmentation or Purchase Storage, depending on if you wish to use Storage Augmentations or boatloads of Units to purchase technology slots

Once you are in the slot claim menu, click technology slots that you wish to select and unlock

See this post for further details/visuals #nms-questions message

[timber pollen]

Okay

[bronze crypt]

Where can i get a free exosuit slot in a space station

[stuck berry]

Next to the Exosuit Tech Merchant

[bronze crypt]

Do u js have screenshots for everything lol?

[bronze crypt]

Hmm it costs 15000 nanites

To add a slot

[shrewd needle]

do i have to finish the entire artemis questline to start using portals freely? i keep trying to use one but everytime it says glyphs unavailable, even though ive already activated story portals

[stuck berry]

No, it never costs nanites to add slots

it only costs Units

os Exosuit Expansion Slots

[sinful ledge]

How do you exit the galactic trade terminal on PC my friend is struggling

[stuck berry]

Fully completing the main story is the easiest way to unlock all 16 Portal Glyphs, yes. #nms-commands message

[bronze crypt]

Oh yh i mean units

[stuck berry]

Right click.

[sinful ledge]

Cheers

[shrewd needle]

ugh alright lol, these gek missions are such a pain

[timber pollen]

Question how do I get more technology slots for my exosuit

[stuck berry]

Same way, just select technology slots instead in the slot claim menu #nms-questions message

[timber pollen]

Okay

[stuck berry]

which can be accessed from either Exosuit Upgrade Stations aboard Space Stations, or repaired Drop Pods

[strong bronze]

is there one type of planet which is the rarest or are they all equally rare?

[stuck berry]

Each biome has different probabilities in different star colors

some, like Gas Giant, work fully differently as a sort of system override

none of them are too rare to be truly considered rare

[tame nebula]

When is the next expedition? has that been announced yet?

[stuck berry]

some combinations of other factors can be rare though, like certain subbiomes, certain color filters/colors, finding them as moons or giants etc

[stuck berry]

We never know beforehand

[tame nebula]

Alrighty then

[stuck berry]

outside of backend server stuff that's closer to being a leak

which even that hasn't been set yet

[fallen fog]

Is there any way to yse text chat on switch 2 version?

[stuck berry]

No, it can only be used on PC platforms

[stuck needle]

Hello, I was thinking about buying it but I don’t know if it is worth it.
I’m looking for a game where you create your own story with your friend (so it must be coop everytime I play it) and I heard that the game results repetitive after a few hours.
Do you suggest it?

[pulsar ermine]

Hi Guys, i was wondering if anyone could help, I am trying to get the free freighter encounter and i had one about 5 hours ago but i took payment instead and i cant get another ambush/attack/encounter thing?

[hushed saffron]

Well the co op is not the primary focus of the game but it is DEFINITELY a forge your own story type game. Once you get out of the early game, which tbh is the least fun part, you can do whatever you want. It only gets boring if you dont set interesting goals for yourself. Its like space minecraft, and you absolutely can play with a friend (though the initial main story missions might be best done solo).
I personally recommend it but im probably biased. Actually, just about everyone here is probably biased since most of them have the game lol.

[bitter crypt]

There is a cooldown between freighter rescue events. 3 hours of total active gameplay between events (not necessarily all in one session) and 5+ warps. Tabbing out or entering the pause menu stops the timer

[pulsar ermine]

I have been playing constantly for 5 hours and i have warped 8 times is there any thing else which could stop it from happening?

[bitter crypt]

Not that I know of

[hushed saffron]

Are you warping with a freighter

Or

Wait

Free freighter encounter

[pulsar ermine]

no i dont own a freighter yet

[hushed saffron]

😭 ignore me

[stuck needle]

Can you play the whole game (story too) with a friend?
It is very important because I’m looking for a chill game to play with my friend together

[hushed saffron]

As far as im aware, yes

There might be a couple instance of the story that cant be done standing side by side but im pretty sure you can go through it all together

[distant plank]

are there more than one autophage camps per planet?

[proper lodge]

Yes

Every place that has structure but doesn't have other races has autophages

Crashed freighters, harmonic camps, random antennas on the planed and etc

[bronze crypt]

Any tips u can spill on me?

[acoustic relic]

Where or how do you unlock more freighter builds

[stuck berry]

Uhhh buy and install S-Class upgrades until you have 3 of each (not counting blueprints), follow the main story as it's required to reach other endgame stuff later
don't stress too much about the class of things early on (especially freighter), as upgrades are a lot more important

[wheat cove]

On the freighter, in the bridge room there's a table with several interactable screens on it. One of them lets you unlock additional freighter building parts for salvaged frigate modules

[proper lodge]

Go to the table in freighter and find freighter upgrades, you can find rooms there, decorations are found and researched on anomaly(exclusively to exocraft summoning room you can research it at the anomaly for some salvaged data)

[acoustic relic]

Ohhhhh

Where can u get frigate modules?

[stuck berry]

See this post #nms-questions message

[proper lodge]

Derelict freighters, nexus missions, from other players and other ways idk

[stuck berry]

a few semi-consistent sources, but all still involve rng and planning

[acoustic relic]

Alr thanks

[lusty galleon]

ive got an landing pad in my settlement

can i upgrade it up to something akin to the trading outposts or will it be forever an single landing pad?

[wheat cove]

Each one will be a single, but you can have multiple as your settlement progresses

[stuck berry]

It will forever be a single landing pad, but upgrading it's class grants it some extra features like a Starship Outfitting Terminal and a Starship Fabricator

Each settlement tends to eventually get multiple landing pads

[tender fox]

Does anyone know how to fix base sync problem? Like it ain’t loading in

[lusty galleon]

ty

[stuck berry]

Like your own base?

[tender fox]

Well yes and no, its a base on my old account i have build permissions for it

[summer lantern]

Base missing parts after flying away then back?

[stuck berry]

Build permissions as in the account that owns it is online and in-system?

(This is the only way to have build permissions for another player's base)

[tender fox]

No itll never be online it was on my ps4😭 i had loaded fully like 30 minutes ago but now its not

[bronze crypt]

S-class updates on what?

upgrades*

[stuck berry]

Then you don't have any permissions whatsoever. The base should load semi-instantly if it was uploaded, depending on how big it is

but even bases with a thousand parts tend to load in before you land usually, depending on connection

maybe it's just taking a while due to converting to modern base formats

[summer lantern]

Anyways, quick question. What's the point of standing planters? Just a semi-regular source of carbon and that's it?

[stuck berry]

possibly teleport to it from a teleporter

[summer lantern]

And it requires power for that??

[stuck berry]

especially after saving and reloading that could fix some issues

[stuck berry]

I don't recall them requiring power

[tender fox]

Yeah ill try a reset, my internet is dropping atm i think could probably just be that

[stuck berry]

Ohhhh, I guess it does

[summer lantern]

Is it an old structure that got powercrept or something?

[bronze crypt]

so i got a base on a planet. Should i move the base to a paradise planet?

[tender fox]

@stuck berry appreciate the help tho

[bronze crypt]

bro pinged the wrong guy lol

[tender fox]

[summer lantern]

Ok, i can harvest carbon repeatedly by re-placing it without powering it

but also i cant seem to be able to plant in it despite having a power inlet

[stuck berry]

You can't move bases, you can only make new bases (up to 400 at a time)

if you want to make a new base on another planet, go for it

[stuck berry]

Yes, that's not what they're for

[bronze crypt]

i mean like delete the base i have rn and go to a paradise planet and set there my base

[stuck berry]

I don't know why they have power inlet if it isn't needed to harvest though

[summer lantern]

The power inlet just confuses me now then

[stuck berry]

Then that's up to you, if you think that the other planet looks better or etc

[deft schooner]

is there a way to greatly increase the interior exocraft camera

[swift sand]

if possible, it'd be through #nms-modding i believe

[deft schooner]

ah ok

exocraft overhaul one day.... one day.

[swift sand]

always feel free to submit feedback to the devs via the zendesk link ofc

[deft schooner]

first person camera overhaul tbh. I want to see my arms and legs XD

[hot birch]

What is wrong with my inventory?

[swift sand]

try to game restart, if not fixed just dump the item, some broken egg - keep multiplayer disabled when playing with the egg sequencer

@hot birch well, reloading first to see if you can get the good egg back ofc, if that was the case

[hot birch]

Didn't work

[swift sand]

yeah, def best to keep mp disabled when using sequencer

[astral totem]

Need help iam new

[swift sand]

help with?

welcome to the server btw

[astral totem]

Just like to understand the game its just trying do missions without knowledge

Thx m8

[hot birch]

Restart seems to have fixed it, thanks!

[swift sand]

• well, a lot of the missions in the game have quite a bit of hand holding; the tooltips lower right of the screen are not only mission related, but also of general info, and can be force cycled by spam pressing H or dpad left.
• the game points you to things like how to recharge your life support and your hazard protection, but it expands on that and other topics like farming units by means of the catalog&guide pause menu.
• the game is like a sandbox, where you can do pretty much what you want, but the game doesn't start to really open up till you progress quests some
• if you have more specific questions feel free to ask them here
• perhaps type !faq in #nms-commands for a list of helpful commands
• or try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades to see if anyone's up for voice chatting/joining you in game
• note that progressing quests in groups can lead to bugs

[subtle aurora]

when does nms have its daily reset?
0:00 in the client's time zone?

[swift sand]

usually at 00h00 UTC

[astral totem]

Thank u really

Where can I buy like landrover?

[swift sand]

once you unlock access to the space anomaly, exocraft geobays can be unlocked with salvaged data at the construction research station terminal

(can also unlock most of them for free from various quests)

[subtle aurora]

huh
soo
<t:1776470400:t>?

[boreal wolf]

How do I get to own exocrafts

[astral totem]

Ah okay

[swift sand]

<#nms-questions message>

@boreal wolf having the geobays built on a base somewhere for example is what tells the game you own them

[bronze crypt]

Uhm i have to buy the cadmium drive and its not free

[boreal wolf]

Can you costumize them like corvettes?

[stuck berry]

Then purchase it's blueprint

[bronze crypt]

k

[swift sand]

well, colossus and minotaur has some customization pieces - but nothing like corvettes

[woeful haven]

I can’t find a station after I went to it once

[boreal wolf]

Can I make ships to carry exocrafts?

[swift sand]

• best to drop and claim a base computer to ensure you can return to a system later (dont even need a teleporter at the base to teleport there)
• can have up to 400 base comps per char
• maybe consider favoriting a station
• stations dont stay on the list forever
• there's a bug rn where stations get wiped off the list after completing main story or a core warp for example

[shrewd needle]

how do i get to the galactic core, im stuck at this part

[stuck berry]

Select the current system, mouse towards core, hold left click

have galactic core destination selected first
possibly back out and re enter galaxy map to reorient

[woeful haven]

And there’s no planets with mats to make a base computer. I just started also

[swift sand]

all planets have a stellar metal to refine to chromatic metal

e.g. copper, cadmium, etc

[woeful haven]

Oh I didn’t know Ty

[swift sand]

or even their activated versions e.g. activated copper, activated cadmium, etc

[shrewd needle]

ty

[analog wasp]

Hello i built the roamer bay as some quest time ago asked me to.
To be honest i would prefer to delet it but how can i deal with the roamer itself? Deleting the base doesnt despawn it. Is there a way?

[snow crane]

Me and my friend have each other added but cant see each other's sessions. Any idea how to fix it?

[swift sand]

just respawn it elsewhere/on a diff planet

[swift sand]

tried to restart games completely after adding each other's codes?

[analog wasp]

Like i can left it Lost on some random planet and done?

[swift sand]

yep, if you want

nothing bad will happen to it

[analog wasp]

Yeah i tried to leave it Lost far from My base but same planet and the icon always present itch haha didnt think of another planet

[swift sand]

another planet, another system even if you wanted (probably best) 🙂

[snow crane]

didn't wor

work

[swift sand]

how are you trying to join?

describe your process

[snow crane]

just through the join friends tab

i'm on pc he's on ps5 and we added each other but our sessions just aren't showing up

[swift sand]

whoever hosts loads via play game, not join friends. after loading, double check in save options/network, settings must allow friend to join.

try it that way

[snow crane]

okay

still no

[swift sand]

which of you cannot see other players in the anomaly?

[bronze crypt]

is your hyperdrive system access setting on unrestricted or specialised

[snow crane]

both'

[stuck berry]

Specialized, why so? That's the default for all gamemodes except creative

[swift sand]

when was the last time you or friend could?

[snow crane]

this is our first time playing

[bronze crypt]

i was js looking in the settings

[swift sand]

what country are you connecting from?

[bronze crypt]

And can i have multiple drives at once?

[snow crane]

both NA

[swift sand]

and sorry to be clear, both cannot see other players in the anomaly?

[swift sand]

sure if you wanted, though not required - higher tier accumulates all lower tier functionality

[snow crane]

yes neither of us can say each other's session

[bronze crypt]

so the last drive can go to all systems?

[swift sand]

which of you cannot see other players in the anomaly?
the space anomaly is a place in game, can you get to it already? it's not unlocked from the start

[snow crane]

oh

no i thought we could just join through the join friends tab

[swift sand]

yep, atlantid drive can go to purple, blue, green and red

[bronze crypt]

ok thx

[swift sand]

technically and theoretically, yes - but since there's some kind of issue, it'll be helpful to know that, so that we can focus efforts on who actually has the issue i.e. whoever cannot see other players in the anomaly.

note that ps5 player requires ps+ subscription to play online

[snow crane]

no neither of us are at that point yet we just started playing the game

[rare bolt]

Same I have the same problem as him

We’re trying to play together

[swift sand]

doesn't take long to unlock. suggestion: make a new creative save on the side (you could even change difficulty settings later). progress awakenings/alone amidst the stars to unlock anomaly. test. if you focus on that, wont be more than 1h to get there. also @rare bolt

[rare bolt]

R u ai

[swift sand]

nope

[subtle aurora]

can you use the color filters to search for dissonant or outlaw systems somehow?

[swift sand]

• outlaw system and conflict filter: all t3 conflict and all outlaw systems will be colored red when using galaxy map conf filter
• dissonant have their own tag, easy enough to find

[dense rock]

There is any tool/mod/save_e what can give me option to paint all big build to seed type of wall's?
