Nah

[ancient vault]

Everything is black and white

[proper lodge]

Creepy planets rarely have anything that can kill you that isn't your mistake

[neat yarrow]

kkkkkkk

[stuck berry]

That's just a common color filter for that type of planet

[proper lodge]

Probably just redacted planet filter

[stuck berry]

red/green/blue planets often have filters and colossal flora/minerals

[proper lodge]

About blue planets, why is there blue planet in purple system?

"lost blue"

[stuck berry]

All three of them appear in purple systems

[proper lodge]

Oh i see

[neat yarrow]

even mine was , one of the paradise planat , i thought they will be nice colourish planets but no , i reached 80s times , black and white and it added in my discoveries , reached highest distorted planet smtg like that . btw that distorted thing what does it do actually ? edit- the planet was a fuckign soap , bubbly everywhere -_-

[proper lodge]

Why is there zero on gas giant

[stuck berry]

If their chances are combined, they are the most common planets in purple systems

[stuck berry]

Because they never generate outside of their special systems

if this was above 0, you would see Gas Giant planets

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

Do gas giants have oceans?

[stuck berry]

Yes, 35u deep

[neat yarrow]

.

[stuck berry]

so most terrain types may occlude them entirely

[austere lichen]

hello, what are those for? decoration for base ?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can also combine them using a special object into assembled skeletons

[pallid marsh]

hey all, how tf do i stop falling through the map/space stations/clipping? happening more frequently as i progress through this game

[proper lodge]

From my observation distorted are planets that look futher and futher from normal

[stuck berry]

you can research these objects at the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly

[pallid marsh]

currently stuck inside a frigate and idk what to do

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure, I haven't encountered this. If on console, possibly try to clear your console's cache #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

Reload the latest save in the options

[proper lodge]

And paradise planets come in different colors, paradise is just no storms and low sentinel activity, not earth like planet

[neat yarrow]

but howww? thats m question like what is distorted?

[stuck berry]

If anything is consistent, report it to Hello games

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[proper lodge]

Sky, plants, basically everything

[stuck berry]

This is normal, some lush subbiomes have the chance to have bubble weather, which then makes them valid for the "Highest Reality Distortion" thing (count as weird worlds for it)

as well as color filters extremely rarely

[proper lodge]

Why gas giants that look dark blue on map look bright green in reality?

[pallid marsh]

imgur isn't available in my reigon 🙁

[stuck berry]

Typo by devs

[proper lodge]

Can there be at least dark blue gas giant?

[stuck berry]

I investigated this and made a mod that fixes it https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3923

[stuck berry]

Kinda? All blue gas giants are a lighter blue

The icon for blue gas giants they made isn't great at communicating their actual color

[proper lodge]

Damn it

[stuck berry]

same with other colors

[proper lodge]

What colors can gas giants have?

[stuck berry]

What platform are you on?

[pallid marsh]

ok i tried this, but it's just put me back in space no longer in the frigate 😢

[pallid marsh]

steam

[stuck berry]

Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, Purple and Orange

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

Also try to verify integrity of files

[neat yarrow]

okay uhh i got it but now how can i fix the damage i did to the freighter

[stuck berry]

Resummon it

[neat yarrow]

kk

[strong bronze]

how long does it take these to restock at the outlaw station?

[pallid marsh]

ah ok, thanks!

[stuck berry]

I've heard that saving and reloading can restock some sort of trade things now, but not sure. It might just take actual time

[neat yarrow]

and also where is this base thing in the freighter ?

[strong bronze]

its been like 2 days for me

[stuck berry]

Past the yellow doorway

Go to captain, look at him and then 180° there will be entrance with neon lights around it

[stuck berry]

though you can get corvette modules for free by salvaging them

[green cloak]

Wdym

[stuck berry]

from worlds with Salvageable Scrap

[neat yarrow]

is this your base?

[green cloak]

System?

[stuck berry]

just mine the Salvage Containers for corvette modules. You can locate these using your Analysis Visor

[stuck berry]

Most systems have at least one Salvageable Scrap planet

[green cloak]

Not the ones I've been in

[neat yarrow]

thanks

[stuck berry]

Then you have been unlucky

There are many trillions of star systems, so telling you the name of this system or even the coordinates would not help at all unless you have all 16 Portal Glyphs #nms-commands message

[green cloak]

[neat yarrow]

how do i get this guy now

[stuck berry]

Really just scan the planets around you, you'll find one

[neat yarrow]

rip

[green cloak]

K

[stuck berry]

Progress the main story until you reach Ghosts in the Machine, which at a certain point gives you the secondary mission Expanding the Base

progress Expanding the Base to hire the base NPCs, as well as progress the individual mission for each NPC in some cases

[neat yarrow]

i think i am on that

yea i have that tho currently i am trying to fix the cargo ship which i got , its all repaired just activated copper is needed

[proper lodge]

So expanding the base mission isn't useless and not just tutorial on how to make simple base?

[stuck berry]

Correct, it's the process of hiring all of the base NPCs and unlocking stuff from the Overseer I believe

[proper lodge]

Overseer?

Like settlement overseer?

[stuck berry]

No, the first NPC that you hire

The one that walks you though hiring the rest of them

and gives you base building blueprints throughout it

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[stuck berry]

They work from this station

[neat yarrow]

okay how do i get activated copper?

[stuck berry]

Mine it from worlds that list it as a resource

[proper lodge]

Go in yellow system and look for planets with it

[neat yarrow]

none of the planet says activated copper

[proper lodge]

Be aware that they have extreme weather

[stuck berry]

Then go to a different star system

[neat yarrow]

i am in one of the yellow planet

[proper lodge]

Find new system

[stuck berry]

20% of non-dead/weird worlds in yellow systems will have Activated Copper and have extreme weather/storms

[proper lodge]

Will unlocking terminals unlock their rooms in freighter?

[stuck berry]

I believe those are already unlocked beforehand

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[stuck berry]

either that, or they're secretly unlocked the moment you unlock the planet base variants

[proper lodge]

What these rooms in freighter do?

[stuck berry]

Allow you to summon the relevant NPC and speak to them

[proper lodge]

And nothing else?

[stuck berry]

Correct

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

Is there planet/moon small enough that i'm able to go around it on foot in 20 minutes?

[stuck berry]

No

I believe all moons are the same size as each other, and that the stat for "planet/moon size" is all flavor/randomly assigned

Planets have three different sizes that they can be: Small, Medium and Large

[proper lodge]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

This will be somewhat obvious on the discoveries screen, planets show as their size

[ornate glacier]

how common are walker brains from nexus missions?

[stuck berry]

Not incredibly common I think, but I do not recall

[proper lodge]

What are the measurements of nms converted in real life measurements?

[stuck berry]

We dunno, I've just assumed 1u = 1m and it's worked as I expect

1ku doesn't really feel like 1km though to my brain, but maybe that's just how scale in NMS works when you can punch and jump across a tiny planet

[supple goblet]

Hi, i just bought this ship after i saw the s class symbol, is it a good one? and can a solar ship do compare to other types of ship? ty

[proper lodge]

Yes

[stuck berry]

S is the highest class that things can be, so that is good

[supple goblet]

oh, nice, i just bought it from a station that looks like its being own by the outlaw XD

[stuck berry]

Solar ships have decent maneuverability and damage, like a light fighter. They also have the Vesper Sails technology, which acts as free launch thruster refueling while landed, as well as significantly reducing Pulse Engine fuel usage

[proper lodge]

And you can make stats similar to other ships so it's all mostly about class and looks(and also sc layout but thats mostly for people who play this game long time)

[supple goblet]

so eco friendly ship XD naisu ty

[supple goblet]

may i ask how can i increase its stats?

[stuck berry]

There is a technology blueprint that enables the launch thruster recharging on all other ship types too

[proper lodge]

Upgrade modules, you can buy on space stations

[stuck berry]

Buy and install upgrade modules

Each station sells each module for a different class, S-Class ones aren't rare but just slightly expensive

[supple goblet]

oh, ty @proper lodge@stuck berry

[stuck berry]

you can have up to 3 of each type of upgrade module installed at any given time

[supple goblet]

may i ask where to buy or earn more nanites

[stuck berry]

this limit doesn't count blueprint tech

[alpine ember]

guys how do u send frigates to expedition?

[supple goblet]

uhh, i think i just lost all my stuff in my old ship inventory 🙂

[stuck berry]

Interact with the lifeform on your freighter that stands next to the bridge table

[supple goblet]

shouldnt have click so fast XD

[proper lodge]

And also there tech upgrades(do not think of them as normal upgrade nodules) unlike normal upgrade modules they don't count towards 3 limit, have fixed stats and can other stats rather than normal stat pool and you can research them in anomaly

[alpine ember]

never done this, how do i walk in the cabin of my ship?

[supple goblet]

oh, okok, let see what i have in my system station :> TY

[supple goblet]

ty bro :>

[stuck berry]

Fly into your freighter's hangar to land inside of it, then walk up the stairs to reach the bridge

[proper lodge]

At least you have S class ship now unlike certain someone who bought ship, forgot to transfer inventory and bought original ship back and lost all his money

[patent river]

Uhhh I’m missing locked is there a way to skip it ? Basically I unlocked everything in the build menu ahead of time and it won’t let me do the anomaly mission because I need to purchase building blueprint wich I already own is there a work around or have I just waisted the past 7 months 😭😭😭

[stuck berry]

You don't need to purchase anything for that step

[alpine ember]

hmmm... ah i don't happen to own one

[stuck berry]

just look at the menu and back out of it

[proper lodge]

Also don't buy reactors, those are used for ships you build by yourself with other parts

[stuck berry]

Then you can't send out frigate expeditions until you own one. Progress the main story

you will eventually be offered a free one from a special event

[alpine ember]

ty!

[proper lodge]

Also you can't summon it in atmosphere unless you on foot on the ground

[patent river]

Oh it said I do and every time I go to the anomaly it promos me to go and buy a blueprint

[stuck berry]

Oh, do you mean the default text it says at all times?
(it says to speak to Helios and Ares to earn Nanites alongside this)

[supple goblet]

oh, oki, ty :> im so new to this game XD

[patent river]

Yeah and it’s got the icon for the mission

[stuck berry]

Can you show a screenshot/photo of what it says?

[proper lodge]

Icon for the mission is your actual mission, don't mind text about nanites tech and bla bla bla

[patent river]

Yes I’ll be home in like 10 minutes I’ll send you a dm

[stuck berry]

a DM is not needed

you can send images to this channel

[supple goblet]

should i buy hyper drive module? sounds like it can make me go further or faster XD

[stuck berry]

It does what it says, improving hyperdrive range and fuel efficiency

This allows you to reach stars that are farther away from you, as well as makes your hyperdrive use considerably less fuel per warp

[wicked lynx]

can someone help me real quick?

Near identical freighter but this one I could claim right now has 3 of the technology slots supercharged.

I'm in a blue system however and don't have to upgrade to bring my current freighter here nor the transfer tech thing so I'd be losing this S-class expedition speed module if I went through with it. Is it worth losing for the 3 supercharged slots?

[stuck berry]

Both have 3 sc slots, the first one just has them in slots you don't have unlocked yet

[wicked lynx]

oooh okay cool, thank you

[proper lodge]

Yeah, they good at start bc fuel is pretty hard to get for new players

[stuck berry]

Unlocking freighter slots is a bit less direct than other things #nms-questions message and unlocked slots don't transfer to other freighters

[supple goblet]

oki, gonna save for it XD, im low budget now XD

[stuck berry]

But unlocking 10 technology slots is guaranteed to reveal the other 2 supercharged slots on your current one

[proper lodge]

You can always pack your tech and transfer it to new freighter

[stuck berry]

That sc slot layout on the new one is also good though

Having them near each other allows you to improve one specific technology more efficiently, as similar modules next to each other receive an adjacency bonus

[wicked lynx]

is that upgrade module I have on my current freighter easily replaceable or no?

[stuck berry]

Kinda yeah

[wicked lynx]

can't get my freighter to my current system unfortunately

[proper lodge]

Oh alright

[stuck berry]

This post explains how to get freighter upgrade modules #nms-commands message

[wicked lynx]

okay I'm probably just gonna take the new one then, thank you!

I don't have any items in my freighter storage so I'm not losing anything else besides the one module

[supple goblet]

is this some npc ship? if its not, do i need to do quest to unlock ship big like this? ty

[stuck berry]

That's another players starship

it's a corvette-class starship #nms-commands message

[ornate glacier]

should I use an echo locator early game or save it? not completely sure what it does tbh

[supple goblet]

woah, bro can live on that ship XD

[stuck berry]

Corvette-class Starships cannot be bought or found, they are all constructed by the player at Corvette Workshops aboard every Space Station. You can either buy parts to build them from the terminal using Units, or salvage modules from Salvageable Scrap worlds for free and trade those with each other in the trade interface

[stuck berry]

Using it points to Harmonic Camp, which has a free Multi-Tool and the ability to search for Sentinel Interceptor crash sites locked behind a simple puzzle. Echo Locators can only be used in the same system as an inhabited dissonant world. Systems that have dissonant worlds say so on the galaxy map

[supple goblet]

so it must be hand made 🙂 must be a late game objective for me now XD

[ornate glacier]

Oh neat thank you, is the free multi tool an upgrade to the starter one? and is a sentinel ship better than a solar? (Currently waiting for a solar in a space station lol)

[stuck berry]

The multi-tool will most likely be an improvement, it has a lot more slots but some of them come damaged, but repairing the damage isn't too difficult for most comments

[tender fox]

Is there a setting somewhere to get rid of that grey arrow thing when sentinels are close?

[stuck berry]

Sentinel ships are quite fundamentally different to other ship types, their handling makes them turn faster when boosting but slower when slow, and they can hover in place in-atmosphere. They also have halved launch costs and can use alternate materials for charging, most of which are from the dissonant worlds that they come from

They also have the fastest speeds in-atmosphere of all types of ships, and come with a colossal amount of slots unlocked compared to other ship types

[supple goblet]

we also have living ship 🙂 nice

[stuck berry]

Outside of disabling the HUD in general settings, I don't think so

[proper lodge]

Also lower hyperdrive cost

[stuck berry]

Ooo, I didn't know that

now I gotta test that

[ornate glacier]

Interesting, will have to look for a sentinel ship

[tender fox]

Thought so couldn’t find one, thanks tho🤙🏼

[stuck berry]

Oh, sentinel ships' hyperdrive also gives +600ly instead of +100ly

[ornate glacier]

is that better distance?

[stuck berry]

Yes, better distance without upgrades

but with upgrades, explorer, exotic and corvette ships will reach or surpass it quickly (their hyperdrive bonus % ranges are far higher)

especially freighters, those can reach up to like 5,000 LY with upgrades

[ornate glacier]

oh wow, will probably get a sentinel for now and maybe a solar sail later on, thanks for all the info

[supple goblet]

the sentinel sounds like it helps guard the planet, since it hyperdrive is not so high

[steel pebble]

hey do i accept this as my first free freighter?

[stuck berry]

I would

the class of your first one really doesn't matter much, as you can't really make use of the benefits of a higher class one without tons of upgrades/blueprints and an entire fleet of frigates

[tawny mist]

Is there a way get better x class upgrades easier?

[stuck berry]

Stuff from your current freighter always transfers to your next one, besides installed tech/cargo which can be packaged later #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

Outside of manipulating how the seeds for them work, no. Many guides already detail that though

[tawny mist]

Thanks man

[steel pebble]

and can this free one be sold?

[stuck berry]

We cannot sell our freighter, we can only exchange it for another one for a reduction in price for the next one

we can only own up to 1 freighter at any given time

[steel pebble]

hmm it would be a good idea to accept this one and exchange it with an S one later

[stuck berry]

I'd say so

An S-Class one would be rare though and take quite a bit of time to specifically seek

and the difference between freighter classes isn't that substantial at all

[safe dawn]

What settings have the most impact on performance?

And is there anything I can do to squeeze more performance out of the game? Like any optimisation mods or anything

[proper lodge]

Is the amount of items can cause lags?

[safe dawn]

Sometimes my inventory lags, but I'm talking more about when I'm on-foot and flying

[lean dragon]

GUYS

Should i buy this?

Or become the overseer

With 312k/d in maintenance and 116k/d in production idk if it's worth it but also this is my first settlement ;-;

[proper lodge]

All settlements always have some bad stats, low happiness and productivity lower and maintenance so the only thing you look for is planet it's on and race

You will get productivity more than maintenance after some time

[lean dragon]

It's on a snow planet

[proper lodge]

By planet i meant if you like it or not

Oh and almost forgot to add that different races have different building styles

[sour tartan]

is there any better way to get the glyphs than the glyph system thats in all the youtube videos ? there seems to be alot going on there that makes it a pain to tell what is what and i still cant find my last 5

[proper lodge]

At some point in story you will need to do 16 warps and each warp gives you 1 glyph

[muted lion]

Just started that bottem one. Can someone expain what it does or how do i get passive income like everyone says. Pls help

[supple goblet]

hi, i wanna ask abt expendition, will it worth early game?

[shell ridge]

Balanced can have encounters of each of the 4 types of missions.

[muted lion]

I started it but what do i do now and how do i get rewarss im very confused. When i search on yt i only see people yapping abt "how to get 's class freighter" or some bs. Nobody gives a guide.

[shell ridge]

Try !faq-frigates in #nms-commands

[weary shale]

any way to fix the massive frame drops that last throughout entire sessions especially if you alt tab during the game?

[proper lodge]

Those stars are difficulty levels, if your fleet rating is below the difficulty it may become damaged and even destroyed if you don't send it back and also it gives you better rewards, more light years=longer expedition but also more rewards, combat patrol, industrial expeditions and etc are focused on specific stat and you have to use frigates with good stat for that(support freighter always have low stats but they made for support), to launch expedition you need frigate fuel which you can craft with tritium and di hydrogen

[shell ridge]

The mission goes out, when it returns at the end of the time - then you can interface with the mission terminal and claim your rewards.

[proper lodge]

Also you need fleet room to start expedition(just make 5 fleet rooms bc you can send only 5 expeditions per day)

[muted lion]

I have 2 allready when i bought it. But bro the timer doesnt seem to go down im confused lol

[proper lodge]

You probably already did that expedition

[shell ridge]

You can check the time in the fleet command room for that mission. Blue holograms for ships on mission, green once they're done.

[muted lion]

I just started it i fr bought this freighter 5 mins ago cd

[muted lion]

Imma check rn

[proper lodge]

Look for a fleet room with frigate holograms

[proper lodge]

You can also check their progress

[muted lion]

Ah yes i see

I can abort. Inspect.

Abort or inspect

Will it survive? It says difficulty 1

[shell ridge]

Let it ride.

[proper lodge]

Also if frigate is damaged they will contact you from anywhere and ask whenever to continue expedition(chance of frigate getting destroyed) or come back(aborts expedition but gives you rewards for the things that they already done)

[safe dawn]

Let it rideeeeee

[muted lion]

Ok. Does timer keep go down if i actualy like go offline?

[proper lodge]

Yes

[muted lion]

What kinda rewards does this give the mission i started

[proper lodge]

Units, nanites, many sorts of valuable items, resources

Also there a chance to get dream aerial blueprint

[muted lion]

Idk that is

Btw should i get 1 squadron and if i do what does it do

[proper lodge]

You use it once and it starts little quest where you pulse in space, encounter living frigate and hire it in your fleet

[proper lodge]

Squadrons supposed to be like help in your space battles but actually they just fly around you doing nothing

[shell ridge]

There's lots of info in the #nms-commands channel. !faq shows the full list of commands. The section on frigates goes over expeditions too.

[proper lodge]

So basically a decoration to make you feel confident that you so "powerful"

[vale dew]

yo help what i can do if i am bugged in the mesh

[shell ridge]

They do a bit of damage to enemies, they also fly in front of you and can block your shots.

[proper lodge]

So they meat shields, great

Do enemies lock on them?

[shell ridge]

Yes.

[shell ridge]

Reload your most recent save. Or join on a friend.

[proper lodge]

As i know there thing in options that throws you out the freighter but only if it's your own freighter

Oh and might try dismissing it too

[muted lion]

Do the rewards instant get received or i gotta go manuanly to my freighter

[shell ridge]

You have to claim them from that terminal. The ship holograms will be green when it's done.

[proper lodge]

Go to your freighter and talk with fleet hologram in fleet command room

They will glow green once they finish

[muted lion]

How do i get more ships to do expiditions at once

[muted lion]

Thx

[muted lion]

Thx

[proper lodge]

Buy them near npc freighters

[shell ridge]

The faq is your friend here. #nms-commands channel.

[proper lodge]

They usually cost 1-3m for C class frigate

Also don't try to find better class frigates

Frigates will upgrade themselves after certain amount of expeditions

But look for frigates with low fuel consumption

Like 4-5

[muted lion]

U said near npc freighter. U talking like in space stations?

[proper lodge]

And 2-3 on support

[proper lodge]

No, npc freighters, they randomly pop up near space stations, planet and etc

They are usually just 3-5 system freighters with a bunch of frigates and cargo pods around them

But only frigates with green icon are available to buy

[muted lion]

And how much they cost

[proper lodge]

1-3m for C class

[muted lion]

MUST be c class?

[proper lodge]

Not must be but good to have C class as i remember

[muted lion]

Do i recruit bro?

[proper lodge]

If you want to

[muted lion]

I jump around this moon and collect these glowing balls and store them inside corvette and chests within corvete that how i make alot money but its boring

[proper lodge]

There many ways to make good money

[near prism]

New to NMS and I saw some stuff about selling fossils and found some through a nexus mission, but in the vids/screenshots they all seem to have an age and a scaling sell value, but the ones I've got dont mention the age and are just 72k units. Is this because it was part of the mission or am I missing something?

[muted lion]

Yo bro

[proper lodge]

Hm?

[muted lion]

I need to reach the centre of the galaxy

Like wtf how am i gonna do that

And i see people speaking about doing 16 "warps"

[proper lodge]

You need to assemble them fully for their value to go up

Just warp 16 times

In any direction

[muted lion]

Warp is?

[proper lodge]

Go to a different system

Repeat 16 times

[muted lion]

Can i go back and forth?

Or must be new ones

[proper lodge]

I guess

But wait for glyph on top of the screen to appear before warping again

[muted lion]

Each warp i receive a glyph

U mean?

[proper lodge]

Yeah

[muted lion]

Thx doing rn

[proper lodge]

Alright

Also i'm gonna go to sleep now so gotta ask someone else from now on(or use !faq in nms commands channel)

Fossils changed significantly in "Relics" update. If that video you saw was a bit older it's probably very outdated.
https://www.nomanssky.com/relics-update/

[near prism]

Is that with a display?

[pulsar jacinth]

Yes, you use a display to put them together, and then you can package them to form one item.

Tho idk how good they are as a unit making method these days

There are other things you can try if units is what you are after

[near prism]

Figured I'd try different things. The trade route one seemed appealing.

[scarlet hedge]

I've been having an issue where the daily timer seems to not be able to reset. In game timers work fine, but npc daily dialogues, derelict maps and quicksilver missions never refresh. Is there a way to reboot or fix something in order to get out of that infinite day ?

[pulsar jacinth]

It can be pretty fun too, as you match items to economies where they sell best.

Something that might not be described there are trade surges. If you have an economy scanner, then while in your ship you can use the quick menu to activate it and scan for trade surges.

It will select a type of item and a system that will buy them for a significantly increased price, but it has a limited time, so you have to get as many as you can from different systems of that economy and bring them there before time runs out.

[near prism]

I managed to do it a little during a nexus missions and it scratched my brain good. I just need to actually install the scanner.

[pulsar jacinth]

Some stuff updates based on UTC time, so not your midnight but midnight in UK, e.g., Quicksilver missions or NPCs at the Anomaly that make daily requests. It also depends on your connection to the online discovery service, so if there is some problem there, it will affect them.

[scarlet hedge]

An online discovery service might be the problem, I'll look a bit more into what could be broken there. It's not the real life timer for sure, since the issue has been going on for way more than a week

Thanks for the lead though, it might help

[near prism]

Is quicksilver just used for exotic items?

[pulsar jacinth]

Yeah, mostly cosmetic items like base decoration or character customisations

[gaunt kiln]

How do I upgrade my technology? I'm new to the game and bought an upgrade for my movement, but I have no idea if i need to install it or if it just automatically gets used

To be more specific, I bought a Movement Module that says, "Installable Upgrade"

[frail seal]

What do I do if I get stuck inside the wall?

[near prism]

You hover over it, hold install, then you put it in a technology slot on your exosuit

[hoary stone]

so umm i want someone to help me with something thats been happening to me ever since the voyager update
each time i open the first save file in a session the game gets stuck on a white screen for a while, before the game actually loads
the game also has some lags and stutters, sometimes making the game unplayable
can someone help me with this

i havent seen anyone talk about this glitch, nor how to fix it

ive also tried everything to fix it but to no avail
i tried restarting the pc
i tried clearing the shader cache
i tried messing around with the settings to fix it
still, no avail

[tame nebula]

Whats the rations for a liquid Explosive farm crop wise

[swift sand]

check out this image

[tame nebula]

Thanks mate

[swift sand]

the white on screen on load finish->play - does it do that when you load in a station?

[hoary stone]

it only happens when i load a save for the first time in a session

the other times it loads just fine but the stutters are still there

[swift sand]

about the extreme stutter: does it do that after a few minutes of loading in, of letting things load in? what specs are you running?

[ivory belfry]

Can I start a new save and find the starter system I started in, with the Remnant Redux Exp?

[hoary stone]

the extreme stutter happens immediately after loading in and looking around with the camera, and also the specs im using is an amd ryzen 7 7800x3d processor and the gpu is an amd radeon rx 7800

[swift sand]

we probably wont have the glyph set unlocked with exp21 redux - but... so you wanted to make a new save when exp21 redux comes out later this year, and use it to travel to some other system after you finish the expedition? sure

[hoary stone]

idk if its either the cpu thats causing it or the gpu

[ivory belfry]

Oh wait, Remnant was a new Expedition though right?

[swift sand]

sounds like a your machine/environment that's causing this, more than powerful enough to run the game butter smooth. please press&hold win key + press R, type dxdiag.exe /dontskip , press save all button, upload resulting txt file in #964865106334875698 thread

[ivory belfry]

The Remnant starter system was a good ern lol

[swift sand]

remnant update released expedition 21: remnant, earlier this year, yeah

[ivory belfry]

Ok tyvm, I`ll check back again when 21 redux comes out. Cheers

[humble pendant]

There’s still no way to catch up and redo expeditions you missed right?

[swift sand]

officially, no - only when the devs rerun them

unofficially, if pc, there's ways

[humble pendant]

Unfortunately no PC + I don’t want to meddle with mods atp honestly

[ivory belfry]

Ways. For me, only the Shadow knows the "way

Thankee

[humble pendant]

I’ve explored like maybe 40% of the game, there’s plenty to do still

[void garden]

is the Colosus exocraft Analysis visor capable of finding buried tech?

[swift sand]

might not, not sure, dont recall sorry. not sure if got fixed already, but there was some weird behavior going on with colossus visor: it would show more icons on visor if i first quick scanned

[void garden]

I see, Ima try searching that way cuz it does seem to cause more things to appear, thank you

[charred trout]

Wait making statis chambers doesnt seem to bad now seeing this 😭

[muted lion]

Holy shit

Doesnt even fit in 1 picture

Holy this is so fckn cool

Bro that thing is massive

[charred trout]

Yee the whole point of a capital ship of any kind they are ment tk be bloody huge

[muted lion]

I own it aswell. I destroyed this pirate and negiotiated and they gimme theyre ship

[charred trout]

Let's gooooo (honestly better then buying any freighter lol)

[muted lion]

I had a small one 30 mins ago if u scroll up u fr see me asking how it works and stuff

[void garden]

it worked I can see buried tech now thank you!!

[muted lion]

Its MASSIVE AND SO COOL

Now all i need realyyyy bad is a staff. Ive wanted one even since before i bought the same in video's it looks so sick

[ornate glacier]

Is making a planet base/underwater base worth making over a Corvette or freighter? Does it have any advantages that out way a base in any system?

[lone marlin]

am i able to walk on the inside of any ship i have?

i havent played in 2 years

and heard you can go inside ships

[true stone]

why does my freighter appear as a b class when i scan it but its an s class in the inventory menu

[swift sand]

first, there's things you can do with a planet base, with far more freedom, than you would on a freighter e.g. farms 2) there's things you can only do with a planet base e.g. hotspot mines.

[swift sand]

no, only corvettes let you do that

[swift sand]

just a bug - try to save+reload or resummon freighter

[ornate glacier]

Hotspot mines?

[true stone]

already tried it and even restarted my game

[swift sand]

yes, hotspots are like infinite forcefields, that we can harvest for resources, e.g. o2, or any mineral you see on a planets resource list. basically, automating resource harvesting and stockpiling

[ornate glacier]

Interesting, will have to look into this. Any planetary biomes that you would recommend for a base?

[charred trout]

Whats the most optimal way to make a farm with bio domestic?

[swift sand]

see this image:

[swift sand]

"bio domestic"?

[charred trout]

Auto corrected bio domes 😭

[swift sand]

oh lol, sorry duh, should have guessed. personally, i like doing something like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1423819254817357986/harvestplants_buried_dome_hb.mp4?ex=69e612c3&is=69e4c143&hm=5a7bd98c6f7c706b3238eb25ebb255e8801279612dc74adc9dc55cd5e0458078&

[charred trout]

How many can fit in that?

[swift sand]

lol

quite a few

bros the guru of no mans sky

thanks man

[charred trout]

Ngl I would need a vid on how to do this u have any yt vids I can follow on how to do the setup?

[swift sand]

you basically just need to learn glitch building techniques so that you can build plants off the planter spots. type !faq-glitchbuilding in #nms-commands , wire glitch, uag - should work

[near prism]

So I'm starting the trade routes for units and using the guide, but I was wondering if I should stick to planets with a 3* economy or prioritise at the Sell/Buy percentages

[swift sand]

when buying you want to prio t3 eco and as close to -30% buy percentage as possible - when selling, just to the right eco type and with a sell percentage as close to 80% as possible

[near prism]

Thx

[near prism]

Follow up: For selling, should I look for a trade outpost or is there no difference?

[swift sand]

sell at trade outpost for larger profit

[near prism]

Thought so, thx

[short kite]

i'm pretty new to the game and i was just wondering when i should be looking at getting a new ship and multitool? i've found a few cool looking ships but all their stats just seem worse than my base ship i started out with and same with the multitool, assuming i'm doing something wrong or reading the stats wrong lmao

i'm not like desperate for new stuff everything's going pretty well rn i just don't know when i should be like actively searching ykwim

[swift sand]

even a c-class ship (or mt) can do anything you need it to - it's more about the build you slap on and use, than the gear itself. that said, haulers handle like drunk cows on ice - a fighter is going to be a lot more agile, ofc. we can have up to 12 active ships and 6 active tools (and can have up to 18 ships and 18 mts archived). we can even store installed tech and modules before we want to switch to a diff ship or mt completely.

[short kite]

ohhhh i see i see

the thing about storing tech and modules is a big help i kinda just assumed they were on there permanently and i'd have to make new ones for a new ship 😭

thanks a ton

[charred trout]

For this do i need to do the wire glitch to get it to work?

[short kite]

one of these days i really need to learn how to read it really was just in plain sight lmao

[swift sand]

you only need to glitch build if

• you want to build plants off the planting spots and
  • you want to grow plants not on their native biomes

@charred trout in this <image>, i didnt have to glitch build, because i built the dome/did the setup on a frozen biome planet, where frostwort is native to

you could build frostwort outdoors on the ground on a frozen biome planet, but if you wanted to build frostwort on the ground of a lush biome planet, you'd have to glitch build/mod

[charred trout]

Ohhhhhh but do they benefit from the bio dome auto collecting and increase yield?

[swift sand]

domes dont increase yield, but any plant you have built inside the dome, on a planting spot or not, will get harvested by the 1click harvest all button

did you see this video? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/471868642204712971/1423819254817357986/harvestplants_buried_dome_hb.mp4?ex=69e612c3&is=69e4c143&hm=5a7bd98c6f7c706b3238eb25ebb255e8801279612dc74adc9dc55cd5e0458078&

that pop is so satisfying

[charred trout]

Ohh noted but if i did wanna plant them outside of their native planet which glitch woukd I need to do?

[swift sand]

i'm not a glitch building expert, but i believe even the simplest wire glitch will work

i'd suggest just sitting down and watching that video

[charred trout]

Alr alr ine last thing would seeing uranium kn a planet usually means its an irrated one?

[swift sand]

yes, gamma+uranium on the list, always irradiated biome

[pearl phoenix]

ive been sitting for hours opening suspicious tech packets for hyperdrive modules trying to get 320 ly range or close to it but no luck yet. is there a better way on getting it so i can reach the galactic centre?

[swift sand]

1. i suggest reading this post <#nms-commands message> (there's a video too)
2. getting to the center: is this about a mission titled the purge? then you dont have to get to the center. if it's not, warping to the core - there's much faster ways to do so, like portaling

[charred trout]

Go to a black hole as they usually get u very close if u dint have the gylphes

[pearl phoenix]

im in endgame completed the storyline only goal now is to reach the center freighter cant do it even tho it has 4k+ ly range so im trying a random corvette i built

[swift sand]

1. completed all these quests? (see image)
2. if you completed main storyline, then you have the full glyph set unlocked
3. just find a portal, dial twelve times, go through, you'll be at about 5K LY away

and i just understood what you actually meant

@pearl phoenix core warping itself doesn't need any warp range at all, can do it with a radiant pillar with 101 LY range. see gunter post above.

[mossy cape]

If you have a 4 square supercharged interceptor, do you use all four sc slots for weapons, all four for pulse engines or something else? Do you prefer 2+2 or 3L+1 to 4 square?

[swift sand]

rng drop: a drop that has a drop chance

[swift sand]

personally:

• on ships, i prefer having 2 adjacent, 2 spread apart
• if i had 4 adjacent, i'd try to split them apart, and use 2 for something, 2 for another maybe, hopefully they're not on an edge

[mossy cape]

In this case they are on the right edge but not in the corner. I already have options for 2+2 and 3+1. This ship rolled better bonuses. I will probably farm for other arrangements before I move on.

[near prism]

This feels obvious but I just helped a freighter with pirates and now they're offering the freighter. I'd assume its best to take it?

[peak ferry]

heyy, this thing keeps showing up on my screen (the white lines in middle of screen) while playing. walking and flying. how to get rid of this? i feel like my gam is bugged as when i walk around my corvette the camera goes insane.

(it is rapidly flashing too which is frustrating)

[near prism]

I took it. There is so much storage space.

[charred trout]

If I used the wire glitch woukd I be able to plant basically everywhere inside kf the bio dome?

[granite slate]

How many organs do you need to mature for the Starbirth quest. Just finished the brain and got the heart. How many more to I have to go?

[wicked ibex]

So eb incase and i want to build a ship can i get like a good builder to build for me/ help or i have to do it solo ( i am VERY bad at building

[gritty glen]

Hey I have a question about the they who returned/ harmonic seal mission I've done the terminals before but I have the special backpack and I've done the purge and atlas missions as well as the tears of metal but I still can't get the they who returned mission to pop up

I don't know if I messed up when I did the harmonic seal terminal before cuz it was a long time ago I don't know if I used the seal how I was supposed to and now im screwed? Idk if someone can help that'd be sweet

[hoary stone]

what happens to bases when a player deletes their save file that the base was on

[crude apex]

Usually it will pop when you pulse in space

[lost jay]

where do i get the upgrades for the jump drive? the ones to jump to other colored systems

[wet sigil]

Anomaly

[wet sigil]

If it's uploaded it should remain there

[wet sigil]

4 organs total

[charred trout]

Which is 4 irl days of waiting fffff

[gritty glen]

@crude apex I've tried that I've done like 6 different harmonic camps and I haven't gotten it

[charred trout]

Sorry for pinging but are u familiar with glitch building techniques?

[wet sigil]

Only very limited, I don't know if the same glitch works for biodomes but I don't see why it wouldn't

[charred trout]

Alr alr cause everything i seen about it are posts from 2 to 3 years ago 😭 so idk if it works on tue domes

[charred trout]

But do you still have your buo dome layout for when u made statsis chambers?

[crude apex]

I am sorry let me check something

[charred marsh]

Hey guys, as a new player what milestones should I focus on achieving first?

[fresh cloud]

How do i use chat on switch 2?

[crude apex]

@gritty glen did you pulse in a dissonahnt korvax system?

[gritty glen]

Im not aure if it was Korean but dissonance yea

Korvax auto correct

@crude apex does it have to be korvax?

[charred trout]

Yee has to be both korva and dissonance for the quest to pop after pulse driving

[gritty glen]

Ohhh shit okay let me try that

[crude apex]

I am checking the reddit and they mention it has to be

also some mention to have a sentinel ship to pulse

[charred trout]

Nah no need for sentinel for the they whom returned just have to do it in a korvax dissonance system with the artemisis quest done

[inland ermine]

1. Get a good source of money. Best one available very early on is scanning fauna, flora and minerals, just make sure to get some upgrades at the station vendors to get a scanning value boost.
2. Get a ship you feel good with. Fighter, Exotic, Sentinel, a corvette if you wanna do something fully personalized and a small mobile base, even a freighter to have something bigger.
3. Pick your way of having fun. Go fishing, explore, do story stuff, manage your own settlement, build an insane base, literally anything.

This game is a sandbox in every literal way

[charred trout]

How do I do bio dome stacking? As like a tower

[wet sigil]

No, I retired it, I use a mod that lets me pick all grown crops in a certain range, and I use the 4 plant farming tray now ( can't remember the exact name, advance hydroponic farm maybe?)

[charred marsh]

Having fun unlocking stuff with the ancient buried thingy thing at my base 🙂 the shop is a little confusing. Is it better to buy at a space station or anomalies?

[inland ermine]

Both have different offers. Space Stations will offer upgrade modules, scrap vendors, guild representatives and Galactic Trade Terminals (default store). Anomaly vendors sell blueprints for upgrades, base modules, vehicles, as well as giving some side activities (cooking, pet care, derelict freighter hunting etc)

[charred marsh]

Oh wow, I didn’t realise you could do things like cook or fish.

[inland ermine]

Cooking recipes go crazy if you go in blind, it's literally trial and error

[charred marsh]

Sweet, thankyou 🙂

[inland ermine]

Fishing I am yet to try, heard it's very relaxing though

[charred marsh]

Haha I bet

[gritty glen]

Well I just did a harmonic camp in a korvax system and I've been pulsing around for like 5 minutes with nothing so far

I've been at this for literally like 6 hours watching every YouTube video I can im lost

[crude apex]

I am sorry, I am checking the thread of reddit and its all it says and usualy it works: the uqests that needfs to be done are: Artmis, the purge, the atlas path, tracwe of metal, and then it should do it

[gritty glen]

Yea I've done those lol thats what took half of the 6 hours

Agh I think i may have messed somehow and just glitched my game

[main stone]

How come sometimes creatures on the planet have a question mark floating over them?

[crude apex]

I can give you the reddit link (if its allowed) to go check maybe you will ssoemthign I missed: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1606oe1/how_to_start_they_who_returned/

[gritty glen]

I'll look thank you

[wet sigil]

You have to warp, not pulse

And after warping, wait a little bit

#nms-commands message

If that doesn't work, double check your quest log and make sure the quest isn't already on the list, perhaps pushed onto a second page or something

[wet sigil]

In my experience, they show up after you have fed them, and they are now hungry again

[gritty glen]

Ohh warp to another dissonat or just regular @wet sigil

I just did another one ahahaha

[wet sigil]

I don't know, can try eigher

Have you double checked your quest log and made sure They Who Returned isn't on your quest list, right?

[gritty glen]

I have a couple times I'll look again though

[crude apex]

It worked on my 5 saves the way that the reddit show, so I am not sur what else is missing or not

[wet sigil]

My only suggestion is if you could screenshot your quest log

[crude apex]

Like it mentionsed that they went tothe harmonic camp and then claimed the sentinel ship and warp to the korvax system and the quest trigered

[wet sigil]

New beginnings should be on the quest list if Artemis path is truly completed

Atlas Eternal if Atlas path has been completed

[gritty glen]

There's my quest logs sorry not tryna spam

Would the space anomaly mission have to be doen

Done*

[winter wolf]

Patterns In Time means you havent completed the main questline

[gritty glen]

Shitt okay thanks guys sorryyy

[crude apex]

you got a quest for the sentinel ship

[gritty glen]

I just came back to this game I thought I had already completed all the main story

[charred trout]

How do I make a bio dome tower?

[hoary stone]

umm what just happened

[granite slate]

Whats the server for taxi stuff?

[full adder]

how do i get corvette parts? i want to make awesome space ship

[charred trout]

Hunt for planets that have salvageable scrap on it

[full adder]

and fastest way to get the scrap?

[wide vault]

Can you adopt Giant worms?

[wet sigil]

You can build a very basic corvette using parts that can be bought with units, then use that corvette to farm for the scraps as you can simply shoot the spots with corvettea

[full adder]

yeah i got the basic one when it released

do i need to add weapons to corvette or

idk

[wet sigil]

The basic photon cannon should work

[wet sigil]

Search for PanGalactic StarCabs

[charred trout]

Through wellll using a corvette lol as they act like portable platform so every once in a while u manual scan and collect em with the corvette weapons

[bitter crypt]

!starcablink

[tulip dust]

https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[full adder]

i mean is that like a module you put in the menu, or physically put on your ship

[wet sigil]

You had to physically place at least one turret on a corvette, and you would automatically get a photon cannon installed on your corvette, that particular weapon isn't optional

[full adder]

and how do you get the other weapons?

also place?

or module

[wet sigil]

Getting their corresponding turret

E.g. if you want missiles, you need to install a torpedo launcher etc, if I am not mistaken

I do not remember if it's possible to install weapons onto corvettes without using the turrets, it's been way too long since I changed the weapons on my corvette and I am ot at my computer rn

[full adder]

ok cool

[stray badger]

Who can answer this?

[wet sigil]

Are you asking for our philosophical answer, or are you asking what answer you should choose in the game? If it is the latter, it doesn't matter too much

[stray badger]

the former

lol

[clever grotto]

is good idea to enter a black hole?

[bitter crypt]

It'll teleport you across the galaxy

[devout snow]

3

[wet sigil]

As long as you have a way back to your main areas of activity afterwards, sure

Black holes are more like worm holes tbh

[clever grotto]

but is a black hole on a solar system

a mini black hole

[bitter crypt]

Yes, it'll take you across the galaxy still

Sometimes they can appear as deep space anomaly events, but they work the same

[clever grotto]

oh ok, thank you very much!

[wet sigil]

That's the only type of black hole in this game

(depending on whether you count galactic core as a black hole or not)

[stray badger]

So im guessing i need a sub?

[charred trout]

Not really u cam torture urself and swim free handed

[stray badger]

that doesnt sound fun

[charred trout]

But if thats fir the living ship then its better off as u arent gonna use the sub outside of this and maybe the intro ocean quest

[stray badger]

Where is hyperion I need to buy stuff of him but it doesnt show here he is

[wet sigil]

Do you know that big rotunda where all of the tech unlocks are purchased?

It's down the corridor from Nada and Polo

[stray badger]

found it

is there a teleporter in the anomaly

[wet sigil]

If you can find water just deep enough you don't strictly need it, clams can spawn in water of depth of like 100 or so units, that's easily swimmable from the surface down

[stray badger]

i got the cadmium drive but looking at other upgrades like thruster efficiency looks good

[wet sigil]

Turn away from the rotunda and turn right, up a ramp

I personally think the recharging thrusters are much better, it basically eliminated the cost of taking off

[charred trout]

Most of the time space stations have better starship upgrades in the form of modules those are just garuenteed small boosts

[charred trout]

Yee thats the first upgrade u should always go for when beginninggg

[stray badger]

the thruster one seems good

[wet sigil]

Right, though the crafted techs do not conflict with upgrades so there isn't any harm to having both

[stray badger]

recharging thrusters?

[wet sigil]

The one right under efficient thrusters

[stray badger]

ill get those next time cuz im broke

[wet sigil]

PS, thrusters refer exclusively to launch thrusters in case you didn't know already

[stray badger]

yeah ik

[charred trout]

Yee try gunning to get it as soon as possible as u never really need starship fuel thingies

[stray badger]

only thing i rlly wanna do rn is build a base but idk how big im gon need it to be

and im bad at building shi

[wet sigil]

I built my bases for function, not form.

But if you scanned my brain activity, you may also find that my artistic half is dead, I couldn't design a base to look remotely good even if my life depended on it

[stray badger]

Yeah same but i wanna try making it look decent at least

not just some cube with the things i use

[charred trout]

Well u could make it look like a factory so it servers both of ur thing

[stray badger]

5M ???????

who does this guy think i am

[charred trout]

Thats for a ruined freighter that will spawn if u get the emergency scanner from him

Which will have mostly high value loot in

[stray badger]

ig im lucky bro

[stray badger]

wont be seeing that anytime soon im a peasant

[wet sigil]

It's one of only two sources to get emergency scanners which leads you to a derelict freighter, the main reward for them are the possibility of salvaged frigate modules to unlock techs for your freighter and cargo bulkheads from the engineering bay.

Personal opinion about the engineering terminal, onky the cargo bulkheads are worth choosing, the nanites are not worth it, and the freighter tech is absolutely not worth it

[copper root]

feels like simple dirt cheap units that can be claimed or obtained via keehauling frigates from pirate systems

[charred trout]

It doubles with every purchase up to 30mil soo uee dirt cheap but not really

[copper root]

true but per freighter hunting on pirate system you can run off with 30 mil in just one corvette run with a phase beam

[charred trout]

Fair but that seems like it has a heavy time restriction

[wet sigil]

Not with a guaranteed dreadnought fight system

Though I feel it should be as high as 30m..

[stray badger]

but like the 5M

[copper root]

it is higher than 30m

[stray badger]

is for one scanner?

[wet sigil]

Once you are in a position to want to farm cargo bulkheads en mass, it's not that expensive, since units in this game isn't that valuable or hard to get once you get past a certain point

And yea, 5m is for the first scanner you buy that day, then the second is 10m, then 20m, then 30m each there after

You can get a free scanner once a week from Helios on anomaly

The prices reset everyday

[wet sigil]

I will have to test this, I am under the impression that killing a dreadnought is worth 1m per dreadnought at most

[copper root]

dreads show up on pirate systems?

i thought they only show up during hypers

though i did kinda have 5m few days ago

sold keehauled frigate loot

turned to 46m

[wet sigil]

They can spawn anywhere that's inhabited iirc, they can certainly be seen outside of pirate stars

[stray badger]

Does copper and other resources respawn in the planet bc i think ive gotten every copper site in my home planet

[charred trout]

Lol thats nms rng for u whenever u looking for something it wont spawn it 😭🤣

[stray badger]

its just when i went to copper site looking at scanner it was one I already mined

[charred trout]

Ohh thats normal u most likely missed some which js usually the veins in the stome

[stray badger]

there is one slight issue with water planets how i get back up its pretty high like maybe i can make it smaller with terraform

[wet sigil]

They respawn after several days

[stray badger]

dude water planets are the best

massive ass vein

can i make a base underwater?

[wet sigil]

But also, consider building autonomous mining unit if you can stand baby sitting them

[wet sigil]

Yes, though I think you may need underwater prefabs

[wet sigil]

And avoid making the base on top of the veins

[stray badger]

I have no clue where those are

[wet sigil]

If you are using copper for chromatic metal, I suggest moving up the stellar metal chain to get most out of your time, as they don't really get much harder to mine but you get more chromatic metal per metal mined

[wet sigil]

It's unlocked on anomaly

[stray badger]

I always forget the metals that turn into chromatic metal besides copper

bc the others have weird names

i think they end in niums

[wet sigil]

Its always the stellar metals, copper, cadmium, emeril, indium and ||quartzite||

The colours of stellar metals match the star color they are found in

[stray badger]

i think ive only encountered one other planet with cadmium havent seen the rest

[wet sigil]

You need cadmium drive to reach red stars, cadmium are found exclusively in red stars

Same for all other stellar metals

[stray badger]

oh i see now so thats like the progress locks

[wet sigil]

Yep

Which is another thing you can consider when progressing, the drives gives you access to more stars. I spent way too long on copper stars for the chromatic metals

[stray badger]

i mean im crafting the cadmium drive as soon as they told me to

[wet sigil]

Yep, and then you can mine cadmium, once you get like 500 them, you can unlock and craft emeril drive to mine emeril, etc etc

[fickle sedge]

Are flying beetle rare?

[copper root]

Shame i made a new save for those drives now i cant convert them back to main save

This was during exp 1

[charred trout]

Ohhh that looks cool asfff

[fickle sedge]

thanks

i remember seeing somewhere (no idea where) that they were super rare or something idk i coulda misread it

[charred trout]

I havent seen that thing once ever so it must be especially it can fly

[fickle sedge]

i have found a buncha other cool guys

the three cool ones

[stray badger]

theres like insects and then a random fucking ball

[fickle sedge]

lol

[stray badger]

bro my first planet in a red star planet is also ice is this a sign

to make my base

[fickle sedge]

the only reason i know about red star planets is because i couldent bring my freighter to one

i also found a cool system with a red, blue and yellow star at it

[wet sigil]

Yeah freighter needs their own drives, which is a different upgrade chain than starships

[fickle sedge]

alr

[valid walrus]

how do u go third person in the ship

[charred trout]

Go to the cog on ur selection thingie then press the one with the pic of ur ship

[fickle sedge]

can you tame underwater creatures?

[charred trout]

Gooo tryyy

[fickle sedge]

i have gang

[charred trout]

With all the sea creatures or just 1 and 2?

[fickle sedge]

.

holup

[valid walrus]

tyty

[floral dome]

How do I get sentinel freighter

[charred trout]

Find a dissonance galaxy on the galaxy map, find the planet with dissonance on it then hunt down a weird sentiel drill thingie till it has an item that isnt inverted mirror (which u do need but isnt required to find the camp) use said item to find the camp then do its object and finally press the option with spike in it then repair it and boom u ah e 8t

[wide vault]

-# Bump

[stray badger]

aint never been in a nuclear planet b4

[charred trout]

Do be warn the weather event on irrated worlds are a pain

[stray badger]

i forgot to even make the hazmat gauntlet i only installed it

[balmy badge]

They can net great resources too

Radstorms mass boost resource gain

[charred trout]

Ohh never knew that

[balmy badge]

Theres even an in game tooltip for it

[stray badger]

what exocraft you guys recommend?

[balmy badge]

I personally don't use exocrafts

[charred trout]

Up to u they are basically function the same (other then the sub and nomad i believe)

[balmy badge]

Iirc, the biggest one functions as a scrap collector

[stray badger]

btw i thought exocraft would work where I can summon it wherever I want but i have to replace it on every planet I go to?

[balmy badge]

If you have a freighter w the right equipment you dont iirc

[bitter crypt]

I believe there's also a piece of tech for your exosuit, now, which lets you summon them anywhere. I don't know which it is though

[balmy badge]

I use my freighter a lot

[stray badger]

wdym by right equipment

[balmy badge]

Its my main base

[glacial gull]

WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THAT WE HAVE POKEMON BATTLES NOW?

[balmy badge]

A structure and module

[bitter crypt]

There is an exocraft summoning room you can build in your freighter base which allows you to summon any exocraft you own anywhere in a system, if your freighter is also in the system

[stray badger]

I want to make my base in the freighter but everything needs silver and i dont got much of it

[floral dome]

Thank you

[balmy badge]

Which you can call your freighter even on a planets surface btw

mine asteroid fields

[stray badger]

i dont have that room unlocked apparently

[bitter crypt]

you can unlock it from one of the terminals in the freighter bridge, I believe

[balmy badge]

Iirc good bit of silver

[charred trout]

What i said is a very dumb down and brief but it shoukd be enough to figure out the gaps (not calling u dumb just at work and rushed 😭)

[stray badger]

what do yall do for expeditions i rlly have no idea whats best usually do money one

[bitter crypt]

I do a bit of all of them

[balmy badge]

Trade/exploration net best creds iirc, but it really doesn't matter much

Theres tons of other means to amass cash

scrapping ships, trade loops, farming

A good few

[stray badger]

well idk about any of that im just doing main mission so far

[balmy badge]

I have 5 farm rooms for gravitino balls on my freighter

[charred trout]

Whuch is better gra balls (hahaha balls) or venom?(

[balmy badge]

I will need to check

My farm spot on my freighter has 2 rooms for every plant

I dont really need money in game though, I have 719M

[charred trout]

Alr alr cause idk which one to try tk put on my freighter

[charred trout]

Lol fair but which kne is more profitable?

[floral dome]

Ye np lol

[stray badger]

am i dumb what am i supposed to do with these

[balmy badge]

I think sac venom is more profit per, could be wrong as I cant check grav ball rn

[balmy badge]

Need the salvage manipulator thing

[floral dome]

Yo can I plant any plant in the farm rooms?

[charred trout]

Yeee they act like hydro trays and bio domes

[balmy badge]

yeah

[floral dome]

Nice I got some gravitrino balls too

[balmy badge]

Any plant you have recipe for is plantable

[stray badger]

where is the mercenaries guild?

[balmy badge]

That I forget

[lilac hinge]

He cannot wear accessories. Is that a permanent state of affairs due to him being a big beetle, or is it a progress thing?

[stray badger]

im tryna find out what to do with this and it says to turn into mercenary guild

[charred trout]

Yee only merc guide will accept em up to 3

[stray badger]

this is so annoying i have to go space station one by one to see which one has mercenary

[ionic swan]

i need help, im at the part of the game where you reset the simulation and pick a new galaxy but i dont understand the colors or what they mean, what do i do?

[stray badger]

why does it not let me turn in

[floral dome]

How would I get blueprint for gravutrini balls? Is it just rare loot?

[flint girder]

Yes it is just loot however they aren't rare on some planets. They can also be found in ruins.

[wet sigil]

Gravitino balls can only be grown, not made

[timid compass]

The mercenaries, explorer's, and merchant's guilds are factions that you can do quests for. They (iirc) have a random chance between the three of them having a representative on a non-pirate/derelict space station. They'll be on the top level to the right after turning around from exiting your ship on the station.

[wet sigil]

But the blueprint is on the anomaly

[wet sigil]

It's per star region

#nms-commands message

[flint girder]

Are they in your spaceship inventory instead of your exosuit inventory? If so. Press C when you speak to him

[timid compass]

i've always assumed it was random. most of the time i had issue finding the explorer's guild

[stray badger]

man im so dumb ty

but if i can only give 3 do i just sell the rest?

[flint girder]

All good lol

No

[timid compass]

no, keep them for when you find the next one

do they reset on reload? or is it daily?

[flint girder]

So when you go to the space map next, look at the star system you're in, it'll have a name of some kind and you can then look for a star system a few hundred light years away or something and go to that one if they have a different region name. You can can them in again there.

Seems to be daily reset to me

[wet sigil]

I believe they reset like their stock do: until the game loses track that you have gave them that item, but hopping stations should work as each envoy are tracked separately

[stray badger]

wish they were labelled or sum bc i forget

[wet sigil]

Also, they are tracked on a per envoy system, you don't need to leave a region completely until you run out of them

[stray badger]

bro i cant decide why they making me pick😭

[balmy badge]

Honestly a sad pick either way

[flint girder]

You don't decide there

[balmy badge]

Ik, but still sad

[flint girder]

You're just talking with Nada.

I mean you either put them in a simulation where they might realise they're a fake existence. Or you end their suffering.

[balmy badge]

When you do make the choice, its sad either way imo

[flint girder]

True

[stray badger]

😭

i thought this was fun exploration game bro

[flint girder]

It is. But sometimes when you go exploring you can discover sad things like a faint echo of someone's existence.

[balmy badge]

It hits hard and gets real randomly

[copper root]

which expedition is hard

[wet sigil]

The ones I have done, exp 21 was annoying, and one step in 12 was a bit rough, but the rest weren't so bad

[proper lodge]

yes

[stray badger]

So apparently you can’t upgrade freighter classes and mine is B how do I go about finding one that’s S?

[flint girder]

Pirate system

5% chance of them there

3* economy system it's only a 2% chance

[stray badger]

So I need to get rlly lucky?

[flint girder]

Although be warned. You can get very unlucky with it. I spent roughly 4 hours killing pirates, checking the freighter class, reloading save, jump into the system, kill the pirates, board the freighter, check its class, reload save

Decided i wanted an S class for my first free freighter

[stray badger]

Wdym reloading save doesn’t the game only have auto save

[flint girder]

It does two saves

One when you exit your starship/use a save point and one autosave

[wet sigil]

The game has 2 types of auto saves, one is action based auto save, one is based on time, they don't over write each other, so if you made a time based auto save before you warped, you should have enough time to check each frieghter class before choosing to reload

[flint girder]

HOWEVER if you exit your starship aboard an NPC's freighter. It does not save. So i would exit my starship after boarding the freighter, use my scanner to check the class of the freighter, and then reload the manual save i did last before i made the jump to that star system

[stray badger]

I see so what’s the benefit of having it be S

[wet sigil]

It's faster if you do the time based auto save with a corvette, since you can just space walk and check the class with a visor, getting out of your seat overwrites your action auto save but not your time based auto save

[stray badger]

Cuz I was thinking of making a base on my freighter but then saw the clsss thing

[flint girder]

More supercharged slots and better performance overall

[stray badger]

I don’t have one but idk when I should get one

[wet sigil]

S class has a higher cargo capacity and has bigger bonus to frigate stats during. Expedition

[stray badger]

Im like 12 hours in

There’s just so much to do in this game

[flint girder]

Whenever you want

[stray badger]

Im poor

[flint girder]

Yah. Take your time. One thing at a time.

[stray badger]

I can’t do what I want

[flint girder]

What do you want to do?

[wet sigil]

Build up your units first is what I would do

[stray badger]

I wanna just make a base of operations and make my ship better

[flint girder]

See now that's a problem because that's like. The whole game.

Lol

[stray badger]

Rlly what annoys me most is having to make thruster fuel and warp cells

[flint girder]

Thruster fuel is easily sorted. You will almost always have to make warp cells though

[wet sigil]

If warp cell is a concern, your priority should be getting s rank warp drive upgrades, they will cut down your warp fuel usage by a lot

[flint girder]

This will auto recharge your launch thrusters over time at no cost

[stray badger]

I just wanna remove the tediousness of exploring so I can do it freely

[wet sigil]

But yeah, there is no real way around needing to constantly make fuel, but you can certainly mitigate fuel usages

[flint girder]

You can always swap to creative mode or change in the difficulty settings what is annoying you

[stray badger]

I just saw a side quest thst was about going underwater and I love water so ig I’ll do that next

[stray badger]

I mean just cuz it annoys me doesn’t mean I don’t want it to be there I understand it’s like a progression thing

[wet sigil]

Or you can also get a sentinel ship, the fuel for warp core of a sentinel interceptor are radiant shard, which is directly mineable and don't require crafting

[stray badger]

You can get a sentinel ship?

[flint girder]

Yah

They're called interceptors and they can look very different from eachother

[stray badger]

They never told me that in the game unless I missed something

[flint girder]

It's something you find out later on

[stray badger]

How expensive is making a corvette ?

I rlly do wanna get rid of starter ship

[lethal current]

yo guys is that normal that yesterday ive played with my friend and created the world thru the multiplayer section and now i only have it in the singleplayer. will my friend be able to join me again?

[wet sigil]

Iirc there should be a random event that you saw a random starship and you see it crash towards a planet, that ship was interceptor and that was the game's way of telling you about interceptors

[flint girder]

Completely free

[wet sigil]

Only if you mine all of the necessary parts first

Which can be quite rng-y

[flint girder]

You can also just trade at the terminal for the ones you want. It's what i did

[tropic ginkgo]

not how multiplayer in the game works
you're all playing in the same galaxy, multiplayer only determines if you can see other players
if both of you have multiplayer enabled, you can join each other's game

[wet sigil]

Right, but opportunity cost and all that

[flint girder]

Look for a planet with the "Salvageable Scrap" tag on it, go there, look around and you'll see yellow radar icons that indicate it. Those are your free corvette parts

[stray badger]

How much that cost

[flint girder]

No cost

[wet sigil]

I would argue that scrapping one interceptor is the fastest way to get a first corvette, one or two scrapping should be enough units to buy the parts of a starter corvette

[wet sigil]

The cost is time, you need to dig up the parts, then trade for the parts you need

[flint girder]

Just say for example i pick up 3 aesthetic parts and i want to get a certain type of weapon system part. It's going to take probably more than those 3 aesthetic parts to get it.

[stray badger]

So like will a random corvette be better or do I have to make it a certain way

[wet sigil]

There is no such thing as a random corvette

[flint girder]

Make it however you want. There is no default

[wet sigil]

They all must be made

[stray badger]

I mean yeah but with the classes and all will it be better than the ship I have now

[wet sigil]

But the game does not care for the geometry of the corvette barring it's dize

[stray badger]

I forgot how the corvette making screen looks like and I’m not on the game anymore so maybe I forgot

[flint girder]

You'll need to upgrade its class yourself

[wet sigil]

Corvette all start on C class, you must use nanites to upgrade them

If you are interested in getting a corvette, I would say to not worry about the class too much, you will need resources to make true use of them at higher classes.

Getting the upgrade techs from space stations are far more important than worrying about classes at least at the beginning

[stray badger]

Oh wtf I’m looking at a video you literally make it from scratch

[flint girder]

Yah

[wet sigil]

Correct

[stray badger]

I don’t like this I just want prebuilts 😭

Im horrid at creating things

[wet sigil]

It's literally a build your own ship

[stray badger]

Im only good at putting pieces together

[wet sigil]

So am I, but you don't need artistic vision to make a functional corvette

Only if you want to make it look good

[flint girder]

So you've got two options then. use navigational data at a cartographer in a space station to buy distress signal beacons, go to those, sometimes it'll be a crashed ship, collect them after repairing their launch thrusters then you can take their wings or body

Or just take the whole ship

[wet sigil]

My corvette is simply a flat pancake shape because I don't care to make it look any better, it does the job and that's enough

[stray badger]

I mean the Millenium falcon looks like a pancake so it can’t look bad

Do you guys use renaming feature for planets ?

[flint girder]

Sometimes

Also this is my corvette and i'm literally just a random guy with not exactly much of an artistic taste

[wet sigil]

It's not just the look, that pancake is already bigger than I would like it to be, but I can't make it smaller without making it longer or cutting some of its function down

[stray badger]

Bro has batmans ship

[wet sigil]

For me a corvette is too small and claustrophobic for a mobile base, it's too big for a starship

[stray badger]

It’s ok bro when I make mine I’ll send a picture and you’ll see I’m not lying about my artistic skills

[proper lodge]

not really a warp cell, better to craft other version

[flint girder]

Ngl i didn't even think about that. I just kept changing parts until it was form and functional, nothing excessive, nothing too little

[wet sigil]

I'll post my corvette, I did even less than what wraith did to their ship

[balmy badge]

Kinda funny how stuff turns out at times

[stray badger]

Unfortunately I’m a min maxer and I start tryna do everything perfect from the start

[flint girder]

Valid. Same.

[wet sigil]

If you are a true min maxed, corvette will drive you insane

[flint girder]

It's why i'm on permadeath. I seem to be incapable of dying.

[stray badger]

That’s why I’m afraid to try and
Build one

[flint girder]

You'll be okay

Lmao

[stray badger]

I already HAVE to get an S class freighter now

[wet sigil]

It's not just the stats, the tech bonuses of the part techs basically change on a whim

[balmy badge]

I run permadeath for the thrill

[stray badger]

What am I looking at too many S

[flint girder]

Those are all different modules installed

[stray badger]

What is perma death and it cannot be what I’m thinking

[flint girder]

It is exactly what you are thinking

[wet sigil]

It means if you die, the save gets deleted

[stray badger]

You guys aren’t real

I mean I haven’t died yet but just the possibility

[wet sigil]

It means more on a console than a pc though, since pc you should be able to simply copy the save file on a different location

[balmy badge]

I have been an advocate of permadeath forever

[stray badger]

I mean yeah but that defeats the purpose of someone playing permsdeath

[wet sigil]

I only did permadeath for the achievements, and I literally bee lined to it and ditched the save file once I am done, the smaller stack sizes makes me not enjoy it

[flint girder]

smaller stack sizes = make more use of what you got

More min max

more perfection

[wet sigil]

that's not something I enjoy, I like to horde stuff, not be choked by scarcicty

[flint girder]

Each to their own

[balmy badge]

I have 1408 hours on my permadeath save

[wet sigil]

Anyway , I think a lot of these discussion can be better served in the main channel, I think we should try to steer the topics back for questions for now

[stray badger]

Is that cuz ur good or the game just doesn’t provide any actual challenge

[wet sigil]

Permadeath imposes limit on settings that you simply cannot change under any circumstances

So it's a challenge you cannot back out of, basically

[flint girder]

Okay. I have a question. Without suscribing to the patreon of the app, how can i get the starborn phoenix?

[wet sigil]

Save editor?

[balmy badge]

I tend to play safer bc many things are very lethal

[stray badger]

Do you have to start a new save to do it or you can convert a normal save

[flint girder]

No difficulty changing.

[wet sigil]

For example, in normal mode, you can change the cost of everything to be free, and the restore it back to normal, on permadeath it's not possible, a lot of the settings are locked out

[flint girder]

I can't even select the challenging option for scanner recharge

[flint girder]

How much of a hassle am i looking at here?

[wet sigil]

Permadeath must be started a new

[balmy badge]

All mine are set to hardest

[stray badger]

I never even knew this was an option in normal lol

[balmy badge]

Not on abandoned though

[wet sigil]

Should be just a matter of enabling the phoenix reward. I can give it a shot later tonight when I get a chance

[stray badger]

I have a computer on my planet base but if I wanna have freighter as main base do I just delete the computer or what?

[wet sigil]

Now you know why this game doesn't have a proper player economy

[flint girder]

Logically speaking you could on normal difficulty set crafting and purchases to free, make your corvette, and then swap back.

[balmy badge]

no need to delete iirc

[wet sigil]

There is no need to delete base, yo can have hundreds of them if you wish, your freighter will always show on the front page though

The number of bases available to players in this game is very loose, I use them as glorified book marks

[stray badger]

Im too egotistical to do that unfortunately

[flint girder]

Valid. Guess you better start grinding away at salvageable scrap then.

[stray badger]

I thought you could only have one

[flint girder]

You can place many bases

[wet sigil]

I believe the limit on number of bases is in the hundreds

[flint girder]

In fact you will

[stray badger]

Ig I should start doing the same in planets that are interesting

But idk what makes a planet good tbh

[flint girder]

many things

Your favourite planet is probably one with water that's roughly 500m deep though. Right?

[wet sigil]

I also make bases for marking stellar metal locations, farms, etc etc

[stray badger]

Idk how deep it is but yeah

[flint girder]

Alright so i'm going to hold your hand when i say this.

You gotta do the quests

[wet sigil]

There is literally no need to think what or where you should build a base computer, the simplest answer is "if you have any reason to go back, build a base computer"

[flint girder]

You can't reach those planets until you've finished the storyline

[flint girder]

This is also true

[stray badger]

Wdym I already been to one

[flint girder]

No you probably dealt with 50m deep water

maybe 100

[stray badger]

So I get I play subnautica later on?

[flint girder]

to an extent

[wet sigil]

A little bit yes

[flint girder]

If you want

[stray badger]

🎉

[wet sigil]

You can build under water bases

[stray badger]

Can’t wait for it

[flint girder]

Airlocks and all

[wet sigil]

But the exploration underwater is, unfortunately, no where near as extensive as subnautica

[stray badger]

I wanted to build a sub when I first saw a water planet

[stray badger]

I mean yeah after all the name is No man’s SKY

[wet sigil]

There is an underwater vehicle called nautilon, but you can't build any other water based vehicles unfortunately

[stray badger]

Isn’t the mech also underwater

[flint girder]

Best advice is if you want a really good starter base that you can still make use of late game. Get this

Then go find an S class gas or mineral deposit. Set up your base there. Thank me later.

[wet sigil]

The minotaur? I never tried, I just assumed it gets a heavy speed penalty in water as it's a land based vehicle, which would effectively make it useless lol, but I didn't actually try

[stray badger]

It reminded me of the one from subnautica so I assumed I’m not sure

And it’s right next to the submarine

[wet sigil]

Submarine is the only underwater vehicle

Well, nautilon*

[stray badger]

Now that ik I can make as many bases as I like though

Bc I was starting to have issues forgetting which planets had what

[wet sigil]

It's not infinite, and you are subject to a 16k part limit, but it's really not that tight of a limit, do whatever you wanna, basically

[stray badger]

I just thought this game was more coop focused
