Community sharing, more like, because the game is so vast that finding anything is literal needle in a galactic sized haystack
I've only naturally found 1 person
Technically 256 galactic sized haystack
By naturally you mean non anomaly right
Yeah
That's so rare
I haven’t found anyone yet only one system that was discovered by someone else
Literally only once in my 3.7k hours
That's just the size of the universe
I recently started an abandoned mode save, my starting system was named like a YT channel ad...
usually you should, try digging around anyways
usually something under the cube structure and something on the bottom of the ramp
nvm I just had to remove 5 feet of topsoil
Have you tried switching analysis visor modes away and back? The icons being weird is a bug related to that
how dare the game make me actually search at a dig site /s
Just make sure you press T for a bigger excavation
R makes it smaller
do we get notified when a expedition becomes available here?
It's good for stuff like this, but drastically lowers mining yield per volume
I believe so, in #nms-announcements
I was going through charge like no tomorrow by digging a small hold like 5ft down and then going ham with the terrain flattener
do i need any particular role or not
When excavating the ground, use the biggest option, when mining metals, use the smallest, it'll take longer for metal mining but you'll get more per deposit
What’s the best way to get money?
Go to a Salvageable Scrap planet, dig up those corvette parts. they sell for heaps
Just "nms announcements" to receive notifications about NMS update releases. Not all updates contain an expedition, but most do. The #nms-expedition channel will also open when an expedition is about to begin or has begun
Many ways are described in the !faq-units command in #nms-commands
How smoothly would NMS run on the Steam Frame once it get's release?
Because I just want to play NMS in VR again but I can't with my Quest 2 left controller is basically dead
Is there a way to get parts and build shuttles like you can with fighters and haulers and stuff
if i accepter the last trasnmission and already entered the system for the living ship, am i done for for rerolls?
If running from a PC (which will probably be the only option for NMS initially), I think expect something like the Quest 3 mixed with the PSVR2.
No
Damn
You should be able to go 4,000+ LY and restart the mission using nearby structures to "reroll" it again I think. This is at least an option on living ships that aren't your first one.
Is anyone else experiencing Disappearing Corvette Parts?
I have not seen others report this issue
I was kinda hoping cuz I see some with really cool parts
Whenever the game accepts a trade for corvette parts both the stuff I've traded and the parts I traded for disappear into the ether
I've experience my corvette upgrade/parts being shuffled all over
Oh that, others have indeed reported that one

i found a new planet i wanna make my home, how do i remove the stuff from my normal and transfer my storage items?
Storage Container contents are universal, no need to move them
just place down new copies of them in the new base and power them and they will have the same contents as at your other base
Oh that's pretty cool, like a thing that tells you where specific ship designs are?
Pretty much what the former one does, just input parts and search
the latter you'd just have to scroll, but it might have more options
note that 10% of shuttles in non-outlaw systems and 85% of shuttles in outlaw systems were converted to Solar ships in the Outlaws update in mid 2022
Thanks, I'll keep these in mind
Why when i put the lighting they don't work blue, green, red, yellow the emergency ones
In freighter
Power works strangely in freighters, it bugs out in some very specific configurations
each freighter room is supposed to power all things inside of it
sometimes, a room that doesn't itself have a room beneath it can lack power
there anywhere to go where the creature battle is random each time?
Is there like a channel or something to ask for help if I wanna reach a specific galaxy?
yes
#bot-spam message
if you fight on planet or space station they will use animals from that planet/system
so if you want to fight new just go in another system
Thanks!
bummer
was hoping there was a place i could just do a bunch of fights and have some variety
how many hours it take to beat the game
well you can fight players at anomaly any time
It's pretty fast if you rush it, but the exploration is what makes it fun.
It took me weeks because I kept ignoring the main story to explore random planets.
yea but players will obliterate a team i built purely off vibes and not stats lol
Yeah, I had to hunt for new pets because the ones I have before were all useless in battle.
if you don't do anything else and push the main story missions? like 10-15
this is not a game you "beat"
they work great against ai so far
just wish i could do more fights without having to station hop each time
well you can become sweat and learn tactics to destroy other teams
unless you against sentinel walker or smth
eh, I don't wanna pick around stats
I'll just be using creatures that look the best
Hello. Can I inspect the derelict freighter class with the visor before I use my carrier ai?
derelict freighter doesn't have class
The three things have nothing to do with each other
So it's always rng to get S class tech modules
If you destroy freighters, they will always drop s class, if you use derelict freighters, it depends on the star system, if that freighter drop a c class, it will always drop c class
It won't wrap escape?
it will try but if you destroy fast enough it will die
It will try, you have 35 second to wear down the last 25% of its health
Also, I think you meant Emergency scanner, not carrier ai fragment? If you are, you cannot actually find derelict freighters without using them
Or at least the ones you can actually go into
If you really mean Carrier AI fragment, it has nothing to do with freighters, it's used to find crashed interceptors
Okay so if I found a derelict freighter that drops S class it will always hive S class
No not carrier ai frags sorry
Yes, and IMHO it's the weakest reward from derelict freighteta
So best option to go in action in pirate systems
Because you may need to spend a lot of scanners just to even find a system with S rank in its derelict freighters
Yeah and I don't want to spoil my game with yt coods
Yes.
Derelict freighters should only be used to get cargo bulkheads and salvaged frigate modules, nothing else
Okay that's so great. Thanks a lot guys. Appreciate it
In fact, even destroying civilian freighters will also drop s rank upgrades, if you don't mind the reputation drop
So if you really think you cannot handle pirate dreadnoughts, you can bully civilians freighters, and if the sentinels get too hot, fly into a space station, that will reset sentinel alert level
So first I take down the shield then just shot at the dreadnought?
you can destroy fuel rods or big cannons to get him to 25%
OK great. Will try it out. Thanks a lot
big cannons better bc you don't need to wait 3 hours for them to pop out and fuel rods often bug and don't pop out at all
But the cannon won't help with destroying the dreadnought
Yeah I saw a vid to keep shooing at the dreadnought body after dropping the shield
Not sure if it is an old vid though
It will just hinder it, they may run earlier than expected, and dealing damage to cannons won't deal damage to the hull iirc
That's correct
Destroying all 10 rods will it's health to around 10%, after which it should be just hit it's hull, don't shoot turrets or anything part with it's health bar,
Also just FYI, there is about 8 second delay between destroying the dreadnought and the upgrade being dropped into your inventory
And what happens if I shot the wrap engines? (just curious)
You will get them to surrender, which means you can claim them if you want, but if you let dreadnought surrender, destroying it afterwards, even if you never landed on it, will yield nothing
Oh okay makes sense. Well I need to find myself a good class first then start blowing them up 😅
So basically, if you want to claim a dreadnought, engines are usually the first thing to destroy.
If you want to destroy the dreadnought for the tech, you should never touch the engines
Yeah you are free to go... But to hell this time 😅
That is great. Thanks a lot guys I appreciate all the info so much
ive gotten as close as i can to the center of the elucid galaxy how can i move onto the next galaxy?
You need to choose galactic core as your destination, the follow the line until it ends at a particular star, warp that star, then go to the galaxy map then, a new path that goes to the core should show up, select that and it should be warp you through the core
The closest star isn't necessarily the star that connects to the cor3
Hi, i just got my first freighter, may i ask if i can upgrade it or i will have to find a s class one? ty, mine is b tier now
Need to find a new one, freighter class cannot be upgraded at all
wait really?
oh damn
guess I'll farm an S after all
may i ask where i can find s tier one, i have enter a good economy star system and i still find b tier
Class is random
Good star economy is no guarantee to find S rank
It can be exhausting, try finding a guide or something to help. There are things you can do to speed up the hunt.
oh, is there any place that have a higher chance for it to spawn?
S rank only had 1% chance to appear in a T2 economy, 2% in T3 and 5% in outlawd
One more question please. If I want to claim an S class dreadnought and I finished the encounter and it surrender if I went to claim a reward instead of buying it there will be a cool down until I can find another one or I will still be able to wrap off and in again to try get an S class?
dang, another trip to outlawn XD i only go there for solars XD
Yes, the cooldown is for triggering the fight, not for claiming it, but guaranteed dreadnought fight systems bypasses this limit completely
IMO, outlaw is my favourite, they have most of what I need compared to normal economies, even T3s
i think i remember seeing one,
will do
i like it at that part too, im just so bad at fighting in outer space XD
like i meet pirates a lot
do they have 100% spawn chance there, right XD
why does my freighter change class from time to time with analysis visor, it says its an s class in the inventory menu but it changes from c-a with the visor
I noticed it bugs out sometimes, but if it's s class in the inventory screen, it's s class
I had my frieghter straight up shape shift on me, but it sorted itself out after a save and reload
also how do i like
build the vehicle upgrades on my freighter
the ones that are present in space anomaly
and stations
i have mine change colour so i even thought i loss my new buy freighter XD
You mean the station that upgrades starships?
those types of upgrades yea
starship, exocraft, suit and multitool
You cannot, not without mods
smh
I know there is a mod that adds one for Starships, I dont know about the others
why does nintendo have to make me so weak.
That's not just Nintendo, all console versions are like that, their own wall garden ecosystem makes game modding a lot harder than PC (not counting Bethesda games, that's a different issue altogether)
are there any kind of fixes for fps drops after alt tabbing, which reduces general fps to like 10~20 at some point.
Or fps drops at random in multiplayer, with no apparent memory leak, and potential gpu vram corruption caused by NMS for other applications e.g. video streaming?
which exp iron vulture in?
Better maneuverability
Alright thanks
What is the fastest nanite farm
Fastest is Curious deposit with food buffs and on an extreme radiation planet, plus enough refiners to keep refining the moulds
*Note that for the extreme radiation buff to work, you must be suffering from the storm, you cannot be sheltered
If any part of that isn't available, hopping pirate stations for suspicious packages would be the next fastest
Hey everyone. I was just wanting to build a corvette landing pad for my base and I saw this reddit post - what is the part that he used for the landing area. I am new to the game and I don't really know many items. https://www.reddit.com/r/nms/s/SKsjPjifOi
*also if anyone has any cool designs for landing pads that would be really helpful. Thx (ping me)
That's not a proper working pad, it's built to look like one
Yeah i know
Just a visual for placing one on
I recognise the floor but I can't the exact bame
I think it's one of the stone floor tiles
Ok thanks
Do you think it's the paving?
Yep I think its small raised paiving. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Raised_Small_Paving
This is message if you reach base number limit?
The color and the texture didn't look right I think, but possible, the floor is thicker than the floor I was thinking
No, that's when the base you are currently constructing overlaps with another in NMS database
Lowkey doesn't possible
I reach planet not discovered
Very weird
Aptarkaba galaxy
Very low chance someone really have here base
Drive somewhere farther away from where you are now, and try constructing it
Work's
Very very weird
i have defeated the pirate dreadnought, may i ask why i cant take it as my new freighter, ty
need to own a freighter before you can take a dreadnought
- are you playing solo?
small correction: need to (have completed 2 rescue battles in the save and) own a freighter before pirate dreadnought can spawn
i have one i just bought this morning, although it just b type
yes
may i ask what rescue mission?
hello, I need some Wiring Loom, was flying on the planet looking for trader posts mby tis there but cant find any, checked that in space station also didnt had one? wiki says can be dismantled from upgrade modules/technology, how do I dismantle those if I ever got few, and which ones are they?
when you face the pirate freighter event, it's attacking a npc freighter - that's your rescue mission (it even adds a space rescue secondary mission to the log)
- every trade terminal has looms for sale; i'd suggest rechecking
- personally i'm a fan of c-class ship weapon modules for this e.g. positron ejector, infra knife: cheap, 125 cadmium+1 loom on dismantle.
(easy emeril drive)
Oh.... i think i might saw that.... i let them die...
dang
so I buy those upgrade at the same station and then can dismantle them to get loom. and to dismantle what do I need ?
i just go to another station, sometimes it appear in the shop sometimes dont XD
When you highlight an upgrade, it should show you the keybind to dismantle it
me stupid, didnt thought about it 😄
Im still a bit confused with namings. station is what exacly? that huge thing in the space? or is it on planet kind of thing?
Yes, the thing in space
okay, will have to go recheck. thanks!
in that case, you didnt rescue it, didnt force the pirate freighter to surrender, and as such couldnt take it for yourself. type !faq-freighters in #nms-commands , there's a link you'll want to see with the battle overview, it has images too
ty for your help :>
hey if im on an island and from the base i wanna go downwards from inside the bsae into the water how do i do that?
you wanna avoid any major terrain manipulation when it comes to base building as terrain will recover eventually
if you mean a moon pool there is a base building component for that
from up here into the water from the bridge inside
@swift sanduhm, sorry, but one more question, i have just failed the quest, is there any way to do it again now, or i will have to wait, since i have wiat here but no pirate appear again, ty
is your restore point save slot still in the previous system? if it is, then you can just reload that and rewarp. side note: there's some t3 conflict and some outlaw systems that will trigger the pirate freighter rescue battle on every warp in, since you've already met the requirements to spawn it. finding them on your own can take a while and be a patience test, but there's also coordinates posted out there by other players. if you got the glyph set unlocked or dont mind getting taxied, those can be an excellent alternative to having to meet the requirements for the next battle (3h of unpaused gameplay+5 ship warps since last battle)
is the end of the corridor over the water? if so you can build a cylindrical room attached to the corridor and then either add a moon pool to that or place another cylindrical room below the one you placed and get closer to the surface that way
TY SO MUCH!!!
always feel free to drop by and ask whenever needed 🙂 have fun
oh yeah, btw, will the pirate ship always s tier? and is there any other way to have s tier freighter? ty
I found a wrecked corvette in space and whenever I scan I get an icon similar to that of buried technology but theres nothing to scan? I collected the corvette components and I can't find a way into the ship.
no, class that drops is randomized every time event is respawned, influenced by system eco tier (t3 2%, outlaw 5% for s-class)
I did find a box that looks like I should be able to scan it but I cant
there should be a datalog floating in space nearby the wreck?
Yeah I found it but I cant scan it
you interact with it
so, its still a chance i can have a s tier that is not pirate ship?
yes
I can't I'm trying
hmm, then sounds like this part of the encounter might have been expedition only
i finally found an outlaw station,what should i be doing here?
Oh ok then
@normal olive this right?
Yh
what should i be buying on an outlaw station?
X class modules I think
anything esle>
what do you want to get there?
idk what i should be
people usually just smuggle to get money
buy things on the top of market menu and sell at normal space station
like counterfeit circuits?
also i can farm nipinip?
yes
also there small chance for sentinel ship to scan you
and if he finds something illegal it will spawn more sentinels
you could also buy sus packets tech/arms, unpack and sell upgrade modules for nanites; black market dealer npc is the only place to get x-class launch thruster modules, if you were after those for example
x is better thank S right?
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
Is X-class better, stronger than S-Class?
It can be. Put simply, S-class serves the "Install and forget, I'll get something OP anyway" approach, while X-class the "I want to max this out" approach but may take more time investment to get the "stronger than S-class" rolls.
Is there X-class gear?
No, S-class is the highest.

so it could be better or could be worse
oh
(than c-class)
there also 2 more upgrade tiers with random stats but x is easiest to get
is there any way to get to anomaly faster?
wdym, like unlock in story?
like for example teleporting to the station,can i somehow do what w the anomaly?
you can't teleport to it for lore reasons as technically it can be anywhere
or join someone else
you can't
you can from other outlaw stations
but you can teleport there from another outlaw station as i remember
Can from a ground base teleporter
ill build a teleport on one of the planets
or from any planet base teleporter, yes
should i destroy this?
if you want, also if you destroy engines first and after get it to 25% hp you can get this pirate dreadnought for free or grab tribute which will give you 6.767.676 money
to force a surrender, step 1-4, in images
it's a fixed number
woah
where do we get ingredients for cooking donuts and jams and stuff? we pic those on the planet from that wheat icon thing?
you can cook with any organic material as i know
so jsut loot planets for anything organic the ncombine it/refine ect and boo mu get a donut or smth
yep
no specific " you msut find seeds plant them then merge/combine do magic and get smth"
i destroyed all of that and no surrender
i just found this on reddit so idk if it's right
too many words 😄
but I get the idea, collect all consumable and not sell it
u can use it someway
stuff from animals goes here too
if you destroyed all engines+all shield gens+all fuel cells (in both trenches), and npc freighter was still alive, it would have surrendered
if you vegan i wouldn't reccomend getting ai pilot or body for minotaur
they give buffs if you ear them and also can feed to living frigate for buffs
~6M unit reward
1 gives allows you to check freighter stats
2 gives you 6.767.676 units
bk could ya sent frigate food thingie?
well i dont have 72mil to b uy the freighter
well now i cnat decide
hmm? oh - that's hyperlinked in !faq-livingfrigate i think - but that's not all foods ofc
ik that this is a really good freighter
alright thanks
Units are easy to get, a good freighter is harder to come by, if you like the freighter, take ig
people get freighter mostly on their class and looks
don't like freighter=throw it away
and pirate dreadnought not rare at all
i done exactly like this, just from step 2 to 4 then 1 🙂
you'll eventually get annoyed by all the pirate dreadnought battles
this is it,,c calss
well, it looks cool
you can compare them
im getting it
i just have an exotic ship, should i use it for combat?
and see if you like new one or not
you can use any ship for combat
with upgrades all ships are almost the same
my best shot is b tier for freighter so i think this is a patience game 🙂 even for dreadnought
oki, just wanna suit best to fight pirate XD ty
if you want pirate dreadnought i'd recommend to go not far away, summon your freighter and package interstellar antenna
so that you wont need to research it later
huh?
dw pirate dreadnought wont despawn
you can package technology
i cant decide
what is interstella antenna do? and can i buy its blueprint?
you can buy blueprint in the same place where you research all stuff for freighter and it shows you conflict and economy levels in systems on gakaxy map
oh, naisu, so its like the radar on the ship but just for the big boy
oki ty
get the one you like more
yeah
and unlike ship you don't need to get 2 tech
oh yeah, where can i find world that there r a lot of players
for example, #1418605454300549120 ; also, planets and systems nearby anomaly teleporter featured bases/nexus weekend quicksilver mission systems
i discovered an empty space station how common is that
Ty, im trying to done the 16 quest so i can go freely
Looks like outlaw theme 🙂
yeah there are devices but no people

Star systems can be inhabited, abandoned or uncharted. We can easily tell the difference between inhabited and uncharted, but abandoned systems are a little easier to miss. Take a look at the embedded image.

Wait, no alien too?
correct
yeah
Damn, abandon one, sound haunted
Which colour mean how wealth the system is? I turn on economic filter but still dont know how to identify XD
they're not common in terms of numbers, but they're fairly easy to find once you know what to look for
this is the exterior
see images:
Not so rare
Do the space station xeno battles give invitations?
Oh nice, lovely, ty, dang, u have helped me so much today 🙂 ty
last i checked/tried, i was only getting invitations from defeating ones i had gone to by an invitation themselves
I lost the invite from oceanus and he won't talk to me😭
you dont have any mission in your Log?
The mission says to talk to him but when I try it just says he's busy on his data pad
Is it possible to have dissonant planet where sentinels won’t att you when you kill the things for resonators?
Afaik, no, they always go mad at you.
But it's not a big issue, just dig a hole if you don't want to fight
what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen say? have you tried disabling multiplayer and save+reload from main menu, and resummoning anomaly to a diff system then try again?
Well I think I got one where they arnt so I was confused. Gona try again there in a bit
yes - if that planet has at least 1 sentinel pillar building, you can shut them down and go resonator farming unchallenged also @inland ermine
Is that permanent or for set amount of time?
olala
Gotta try that
Hey peeps. Can anyone tell me if there is an actual square base for the prefab square room. Or is the only option the round base (which clips into the room annoyingly)
till next reload/restart or leaving the system; can just reuse the pillar again if you mark it to come back later
there's the single strut and quad strut foundations, but no perfect option (like the circular foundation for the large circular prefab)
Ok this is what I thought. Round ones it is then. Thank you ☺️ Always appreciated
Hey guys when im hunting a cool looking sentinel ship and i have echo locators. do i HAVE to salvage the downed ship or can i just go back to the same camp over and over and there will be a new ship with new cords?? OR do i have to find another diss. planet all together?
Is there a way to encounter a capital freighter? I'm still relatively early but managed to find a few S class ships I want to house properly
Or do I need a freighter to find the capital ones?
What are good ways to get nanites these days? My current method is scanning wildlife which gets a bit annoying if i have to look for stuff underground or something rare.
is there anywhere where i can browse a collection of vanilla corvettes?
Farming runaway mold has been #1 for a long time
How do you do that?
I have refined runaway mold before but it never earned much
Find a runaway mold planet (IDK the english name, it will be sth like infested or similar), mine the mold (shows up as gold resource on scanner, big rock-like orbs), refine
Best to have upgrades for mining yield on the laser for that too
Infested, not blighted?
COuld be blighted, as I said, IDK the english exact name
I'm asking because I saw one but never landed on it lol
Hopefully I find one while looking for a home planet
how do i take my interstellar scanner blueprint out of my freighter?
I'm trying to find a cold planet which normally are everywhere but now I'm trying to find one I can't find any
#nms-corvette-discussion or #nms-showcase-corvettes for inspiration
corvettes always need to be built by hand
can u farm atlandideum (semi-) autometicly?
bc i wanna move it into my soon to be new freighter
place cursor on it and it will show you what you can do with it
while im on the new one?
How do I find aliens to work in a settlement
and choose "package technology" or smth like that
where do i go to do it
no, before you get new one
you need to take from your old one
open inventory and go in freighter tab
np
can i somehow make it that its storage of the new one is accesible from anywhere?
hell yeah
Any ways to farm nanites as a beginner?
where can I buy more inventory slots after 25
every space station
Limit is not 25, it is, If I recall correctly, 80
But someone might need to correct me on that
60 for tech 120 for cargo
Crazy high anyways
yeah but I was on spacestation and bought one and I cant buy more
you can buy only 1 per station
you can get more on other space station, 1 in anomaly in each system, in drop pods and exosuit storage augmentations
oh okay
how do i scan w my freighter so all the planets are scanned?
or i need the room for that?
U need a room
Should I just ditch this settlement? Idk if the issues can be fixed this is my first time finding a settlement
if i put this into my frigate,can i transfer it later to another one?
whats this?
is there a way to teleport to the space station where there is nexus etc?
or I have to summon it and fly to it
Does 3 star space station also has better chance for having good S class tech for the exosuit?
how do i build downwards here?i mean from the room to the water
found a bug - where do i report it?

I accidentally activated a champion xeno pet duel in an abandoned system. I cannot abandone the challenge, and there's obviously no challenger in the abandoned system. my progress is now stifled.
Mmm, wait, there are two types of ships you can build? Like the corvettes and there is another one?
You can build normal Fighters, Explorers, Solars, and Haulers
But how?
Using the terminal in the space stations. You first have to collect the parts by extracting them from other ships you purchase
And get a reactor for nanites from the ship upgrade vendor
And about this, when going to a terminal you can either sell a ship or extract a part. Can you first extract parts and then sell it?
Or you have to choose?
One or the other
or i just jump down and i need to build a door down there too?
Snap a part underneath, just don't build into the water. Weird things happen with bases when you cross the land/water boundary inside. If you're going to do that, use a short range teleporter instead
so i can build underwater but with a teleporter?
This game is so fucking good i love it
But bro how do i find a harmonic camp to make a staff. Its the last thing i need super bad
That's not where you make them, but a question first: Do you have New Beginnings as one of your primary missions?
hi, i need to kill sentinel, im on a high sentinel planet right not but i cant find a single one of them, iss there any tip, ty
Find a gravitino ball, pick it up
can u replay an entire expedition in one day? how long to they take normally?
there is none on my way XD
There are none active at the moment, most take around 4 hours of playtime to complete
I gotta do like 2 more warps and im done w the purge
Finish that first. You can't unlock the Autophage until you do, and you can't build a staff until you finish the Autophage missions
yeah i know that theres none active but i thought about modding to replay a past one
Where do I sell this stuff?
I’ve got a C class autophage staff currently and I’ve reached the maximum slots available at this class. How do I get a higher class staff? I want a staff rather that a gun style.
Upgrade your current one with nanites, or spend the time traveling to different autophage camps until you can assemble one with the parts you like that ends up in the class and color you want

At the autophage camps I just seem to find guns. Am I missing somewhere to look?
You're looking at Harmonic camps. Use the polyphonic core multi tool tech you got during They Who Returned to find actual Autophage camps. Any planet, as long as the system is populated
At so at the terminals of those? Are they all different then?
Sorry. Still learning about the autophage.
You can keep some of those items, which can be useful in upgrading certain buildings of your settlements.
why does every base when I try to teleport to it says "unable to downlaod base"
I can’t find the correct economy to sell them that’s the problem
It’s not manufacturing or mining
SOmeone gifted me around 500mill in trade goods for no reason, so thats units covered for awhile for me lol
Because the person that owns that base left the Anomaly or you have a base list cached from an anomaly visit and none of those bases are in the same system as you
It depends on the economy where you purchased them
They were linking a specific guide for someone
gotcha
This should help.
Yw, I would also recommend keeping some of those if you have a settlement with buildings that can be upgraded. I often keep a few on hand to upgrade buildings that require it.
is starfield made by the same studio
Is there a way to craft a chest of some sort or anything to store you inventory?
up to 10 storage containers can be unlocked, either for free via secondary missions or with salvaged data at the anomaly
that said, your exosuit can be upgraded to 120 cargo and 60 tech slots for example
-#
to view info below, enable embeds
Storage Containers
Storage Containers and their Corvette/Freighter base equivalents are objects that can be built in game to access and manage 10 additional and unique inventory tables in your save file.
Deleting these objects doesn't delete the items stored in your save file.
If you don't have them built, you simply can't access those inventories.
-# Note: Interacting with another player's Storage Containers, you'll be accessing your own, not theirs.

i was planning to get starfield for my brother not worth?
diff games really. try asking around #other-games
Not really the place to discuss Starfield
If you have a module that increases the price you get for example fauna +8,000 % and then you have another that says example +6000% do they stack or does it only apply to one?
Yes, they stack
pretty new to the game, i bought an A class fighter for around 20 million after a buddy of mine gave me like 25m units as a gift, but im realizing i couldve built a corvette around the same price? i know this varies widely but how much would building an entry level corvette typically cost?
LMAOO
Do you have a restore point before this happened
If so reload it 🙏
depends, vettes are glitchy and if you want a good one it can cost more than 20 millon esay, but fighters are balenced ships, so i would keep your fighter
i have one from 8h ago i just went from system to system looking for another syntesied plantet
You haven't left your ship for 8 hours?
maaan all i wanna do is more champion xeno fights but i cant because of this silly bug
yes:v
what the actual what
i never heard of a bug. what platform?
Can you abandon the mission? Go 4000+ ly in any direction and see
They started a champion battle in an abandoned system
lemme try looking if a slot is free so i can finnaly get my staff:D
oooh bad idea...
sounds good. thank you
i'm on steam:mac but loaded on my pc too and it's consistent.
I activated a champion challenge in an abandoned system and instead of redirecting me to a populated system it directs me to the abandoned space station, which is, you guessed it, abandoned. with no way to abandon the mission in my log, i cannot progress with that portion of the xeno challenge.
Goodness gracious
in terms of companions, will offspring have the same ability sets and stats augments of the parents?
Can you have multiple corvettes? I want yo build a new one but mine has a lot in its inventory that I cant fit into mine
like, if i have a companion with 10 in all stats, will it be inherited
Make sure you submit a bug report, and try the out of range trick to be able to abandon or reset the mission
Tyndall, what's the range trick?
So if I want another corvette do I just build another while at the station?
At another pad
Where does the other one go
i need more help:< its broken
can you reload save? try esc or left right menu button
left right menu button?
ye esc dosnt do anything:c
@analog scroll no dice. Range allowed me to reset a local challenge, but did not let me reset the champion challenge
oh boy
Will have to wait for HG to address it then, most likely
I currently play on ps5 and want to play on my breaks at work was thinking about doing a crosssave with my switch lite will that cause any issues with it or any other problems?
a pain, but you might have to force stop the proccece
aye. they're fairly decent at fixing simple bugs like this
Switch is several versions behind. You won't be able to cross save at the moment
😭 i went there and it was full for 3 days in a row what does this game want from me:((
And if it's a switch 1 there are several things missing from that platform that might impact cross save
Have you done a bunch of custom key binding or messed with either of the main configuration files?
now its gone 😭
nope
Now what is gone?
the staff i press just random keys and the window dissappired
Thank you I’m not gonna mess with it then cause I don’t want to mess up my ps5 save
enter dosnt work clicking dosnt esc dosnt arrow keyes dosnt EEEE
That's the Atlas Staff. It will be in the quicksilver merchant under expedition rewards. Expedition 12, specifically
👀 :D thx lemme see
I'm going to suggest saving and exiting the game, then deleting game install folder\Binaries\SETTINGS\TKGAMESSETTINGS.MXML
alr how do i do this btw?
That says it's not unlocked. How did you get it before?
you have to complete expi 12 phase 2 before you can unlock, and its not possible to replay them in 100% vannila
but
a guy tould me this exisits so i waited for days for a slot to get free
where?
Ah. If that failed, you will have to bring it up with the group that runs ServiceBot
!creativehublink
oh
I just got stuck in a building in my settlement
reload save
no if you got yur ship nearby go to the door and summon it you can get in
@normal olive
how to replay expeditions?:v
There is a pin in #nms-modding that explains the process
yep
PC only pretty sure?
ye i am on pc
good
i paid the full price unlike these playstation plus guys xD
how do I land living ships
I paid full price 3 times 😛
huh?
Same way you land any other ship
PS4 (preorder), PC, Xbox
oh xDDD
they never land tho
did the same with minecraft xD
They definitely do. They're just like any other personal ship, they just look differently
I’ll show what I leah
mean
Yo question for yall do any of you have a code for the 256th galaxy? Trying to hunt ships and pets there
You can't get there via any means other than joining another player already there. #nms-lfg-or-trades
there are that many galixys? i only found esstianum and elucid!
There are 255 that you can reach solo, the 256th can only be reached by joining someone already there like I said
:( rip you mean in rl or in game?
in game
oh what you need?
so many galicit centeres to reach... 255 of them.... HOW MUCH ANTIMATTER AM I GONNA NEED!?
254
i heared in a short if you make a protal with only the first glip you can do it pretty fast
1 portal glyph and a few warp hypercores
gonna take like a year...
Does anyone know how to fix the settlement timer bug? Its been stuck on 47mins for the last 2 hours
Wait for the terrain to finish loading
reload save?
oh how long
did you time skip at all
Until it loads? I doubt there is a set time
i make a backup by just copying the whole nms folder?
Of your save? Back up the save folder. !faq-savefiles in #nms-commands will show you where it is
Nah can’t do that on Xbox
You can, though you shouldn't
You can’t actually time skip on xbox dude
You absolutely can manually set the system clock and override the ntp sync
Or have the clock be out of sync
Happens on all platforms
You can’t manually change the xbox time unless youre on about changing time zones
i got the season file from dat website replaced it and made a backup before all gud?
Sure you can
To manually set the time on an Xbox Series X, you must first go offline to unlock the settings. Navigate to Settings > General > Network settings and select Go offline. Restart the console, then go to Settings > System > Time to adjust the date and time
Okay man bad i guess ive never had my xbox offline to even notice that
I'm gonna ask here better. If i get a S solar ship in an outlaw system will it be worse than obtaining it on a worse?
No
Everyone says a different thing im confused
There are tons of reddit post saying the stats of outlaw systems are worse
Freighters have a larger inventory range in outlaw systems, otherwise there's really no difference. Stat ranges are negligible and buffs can be mostly overcome with module installation and placement
So there is a difference between ships in outlaw
And are generally worse
Freighters
Ah no normal ships?
Personal ships have no known stat differences
(Btw, when you say large inventory range you mean the starter ones, not maximum, right?)
Starting inventory is lower for a given freighter found in an outlaw system vs a non-outlaw system. Max inventory is the same based on class
And last question about this, outlaw system do not have strong-normal-weak economy dinstiction, right? just outlaw which is a little bit different
Outlaw is its own economy with its own ship class spawn chances
quick question on minotaur exo suit how does the mining laser works
does it integrate with your multi tool
Same as your personal mining laser. Aim at something, fire until it goes poof
dang so how am i getting a advance laser then on a mino
certain blueprint
Look at the available upgrades in the Anomaly
anomaly i think
ohno
oh no indeed
why did i placed items for transport on exp 3 if i cant even use it if i cant get onto the anomaly
Follow the milestones if you're running an old expedition, and look at the rewards for others. Expeditions provide everything you need
Warp once to unlock the Anomaly in every expedition except the last one
guess il have to then
yeah ik
il just have to do with this planet with 2 preds
but hey free place to slot items to since this planet DONT EVEN SPAWN ANY SCAVENGED DATA
god i want some storage man
Save and reload. Every planet has salvage data
Dumb question, but i just got back jnto the game since probably a few months after launch. Any recs on what to do during and post the starting mission?
Ive already gotten to the part where im collecting money and what not for the hyper drive
Follow the story, it teaches you a lot and unlocks a lot and is required for later content
Fair fair
Dumb question, but i just got back jnto the game since probably a few months after launch. Any recs on what to do during and post the starting mission?
Its really different now,** hi and welcome to the server!!** so, how much do you want to be led along the new path, the game itself in the HUD lower right side gives you good directions, but you need to check back to the LOG tab often to see is it changed focus
@opaque marsh you should be given the hyper soon or already and don't forget now we can pin materials to the HUD to have the game help us find them
Also are the veterans still waiting for newbies inside the anonaly still a thing?
Yep, people give out items in the Anomaly all the time
Games changed so much i did not know that part about the pinning mats
Thank you
Im still in the buting microships part. Need ti make like 140k so im just mining copper
Dig up salvage data. Sell some. It will get you the money you need pretty quickly
Ill keep that in mind!
Or refine the copper into chromatic metal. Will sell for more. Make sure when you sell materials like that you're selling to pilots, not to the trade terminal
Thats the treasure chest icon right?
How do achievements work with cloudsave? Do I have to get them all again, or is there a war for them to carry over
How so?
Is there any way to view difficulty settings on a save with locked difficulty settings?
Save editor
What if I'm on ps5
those sell for good cash - these days there is also the yellow ones salvage ship parts sell for 350 or 750 each
Hi, i have enter the choice phase, should i stay at the old galaxy or move to the new one?
How to sell to pilots? Go up to one in the space station and trade with them
Then no
at the end? up to you, i moved on your old bases are still on teleporter
Up to you. Changing ||breaks all installed tech, so be prepared||, Staying ||does not||. Either way the story ends, either way you can always get to any other galaxy you want
Oh i thought it was specific ones. Thanks anyway
I want to stay some where that got a lot of people
Like the densest galaxy
I dont where got the most populated
Euclid, followed by Eissentam. Euclid is the starting galaxy, Eissentam is the first Lush galaxy (and fully reachable via the Anomaly at any time)
Oki ty, i have made my choice, may i ask can i still travel to another galaxy if i want to?
Absolutely. Core warp from one to the next, teleport to a base via the Anomaly, or join another player in the galaxy of your choice
Oh nice, oh yeah, i saw people sending coordinate of planets, may i ask how to use it to travel, i dont know where to enter it. Ty
Ty:>
Portal glyphs are entered at portals, but note you have to be in the same galaxy as the intended destination first.
Oh oki, ty i will hunt some freighter first then find a new paradise to build house :>
Do I need to own a freighter to trigger a pirate dreadnought rescue?
You also have to be through at least 2 freighter rescue events on your save, and Space Combat cannot be set to none in your difficulty settings
What if its set to relaxed
As long as it isn't set to None. Freighter battles do not spawn if it's set to None
is there a way to get the aeron stuff anymore?
or is it gone
So nothing changes?
be aware that a pirate dreadnought fight needs you to do specific things. You are on a timer unless you blow the engines on it first to stop it escaping
help, fren and i are tryinmg to meet at the anomaly but he on xbox and i on pc steam
how do we find each other?
Between relaxed and standard
You can get parts from someone who has them, or you can rerun the expedition if on PC, otherwise no you cannot get them anymore
Because I'm not sure if I set it to relaxed or standard and I locked the settings
Teleport to the same featured base and warp to the same system afterward. You're unlikely to get into the same 16 player instance in the Anomaly without first being in a group
I play in creative and I still have space combat set to normal
how do i rerun the expedition?
Pin in #nms-modding explains the process
just go to difficulty settings and change the specifics there
ty
Yeah but the thing is that b4 changing settings i set the default to be relaxed
Its locked
will do captain
As long as it isn't None, the freighter battles will still spawn on a schedule and you'll be fine for getting the freighter you want. The battles are easier on Relaxed, that's all
Thanks a lot
Im not familiar with freighters, I just got one and when I go to the navigation guy he shows me this, are these worth doing and how do we get the equip upgrades
upgrade modules*
They can be, but you likely need more than 1 frigate first. What you see there can be found as random loot from other frigate missions and provide a temporary boost to 1 mission.
you can click the bar in that screen where it says to assign the ships to the expedition - then select your explorer ship if you have fuel it will send them off, or if you do not have you need to interact with the command module
what do you suggest me to do now?
hmm ok
you can back out once you have selected the ship to get to the launch button
Im lost right now how does the Find us, Hear us mission work it says I need to locate the benefactor how do I do that?
one ship if fine for the first time
Is there any setting that make controling ship with mouse much better? Ty
define better there is more or less sensitivity and there is reverse axis i only even change the former
Find Us, Hear Us is not the name of a mission, it's the subtext. What is the actual mission name and what does the mission tooltip (lower right of your game screen) tell you to do?
I mean, the ship is so sensitive, i barely touch mouse, it does 180 XD
Lower your mouse sensitivity
What do I do to industrial waste?
yeah i turn mine down regularlly
Salvage it at salvage stations
I try to 25
I don't have salvage station :(
Find one on that planet. It was part of the colossus updates, so if you just stumbled on it without at least the multi tool upgrade, you just look at it then move on
And what is the best weapon against pirate, mine seems very weak
:(
Any of them, add upgrade modules and blueprints to your preferred weapon
It says explore nearby planets or search in a new system
So warp to a new system
Yeah, warp to a new system to continue the story
Is there a list of missions that unlocks extocrafts?
3 of them are unlocked during the Exocraft Technician mission as part of Expanding the Base. 1 from Dreams of the Deep, 1 from Trace of Metal, or all of them can be unlocked at the Anomaly for Salvage Data
Warp to a new system and summon it there. I don't know if the save/reload on a planet trick changes anything in the Anomaly cabinet
Always c?
I've never seen it anything other than C class
is there water on a high temp planet
Not saying it's always C class, just saying I've never seen anything other than C
There can be, sure
welp hunting for a seabed then
finally a ship with no pilot
i can get out of this barren wasteland
What's currently needed in order to get a Dream Aerial recipe from frigate missions? Videos are mostly ancient, and with some conflicting info.
It's a random reward from frigate missions. Can come from any mission, you will only get the blueprint unlocked once
oh come on why cant i claim a ship from exp 3
Ah, so none of that "must complete a 3-star mission while other non-living freighters are doing other missions in the background" stuff?
No, definitely not
Thanks!
Are there no space stations in red star systems?
95% of red systems are uncharted. Uncharted systems have no space stations
When can I make a corvette it only shows to make starships in the space stations
Go to the corvette station. Teleporter toward the exit of the space station on either side
I see. Yesterday I was told I could make one for free if I go to places with salvageable scrap but idk
You can get corvette parts on those planets, yes
how though I havent found anything
Find the salvage sites, dig them up. Repeat
Dig out the other side. Chances are there's an attachment you haven't destroyed yet
worked for the other one but this one is like pretty cleared out no?
Do I need to worry about gear getting damaged when finishing ||The Purge||?
Depends on your choice
Which choice
I forgot a lot of the Atlas/Artemis paths
Wait do I need to finish Artemis to finish Atlas or vice versa
||Reset or Refuse. Reset damages equipment, Refuse does not.|| Either way ends the story
Do they have different effects past that
||Reset takes you to a different galaxy, based on your choice. Refuse does not||
||Might as well reset then. I'll just switch my ship, switch my multitool and uninstall exosuit upgrades when I do the 16th warp||
That works
why dose it always fail? i think i only had 2 succesful warps ever since ive began
Because the owner of that base left the Anomaly, or because you have a cached base list from the Anomaly when interacting with another teleporter and none of those bases are in the same system as you
So I’m a total noob to fishing but I just caught my first legendary catch. Is there an aquarium for putting fish in that we like?
Is it true that if I release them I’ll get nanites?
Ty x
What can I do with this beside sell it?
Used for: Trading (High Value)
Nothing
:( oki
That's not a corvette part, it's scrap
Can't you trade for different artifacts too though?
It's not an artifact either, it's scrap. The only thing it's good for is making units
Mannnnn, that's sillyyyyyyy
For the minotaur, am I correct that the “hardframe” upgrades are better than the “liquidator” ones?
ty
They have the same stats, just different looks, and they can both be installed (liquidator visuals have priority)
Oh. Does it do any good to have both installed?
I have 30 salvage data what should I invest this into?
Whatever you want for your base. Might I suggest mineral/gas extractors, em generators, and supply depots/pipes? Combine that with the survey device multi tool tech and you have unlimited resources at every base you choose to build
i havent seen anything about the mineral gas extractors where do you find trhese
Mineral and gas extractors, 2 separate parts. Check the mineral farming guide in !faq-units in #nms-commands for more info
Am I not able to keep both?
Add to Collection
Is there a benefit to swapping?
or like whats the point in keeping old starship
You lose your current ship
But does it give me the money from it or what
No
I caught the child of Aquarius. Is there any specific release conditions that need to be met to summon the boss?
how do I check animal stats? I tried scanner thingy it doesnt say anything and interact doesnt have an option for it. I need an ugprade or smth?
wth is this!!!!
A planet?
no you need to adopt one i think before it shows up correctly
i opened an old save with out pets it didnt show that scanner panel until i adopted first one
@austere lichen ^^
oh yeah scanner got new option now after I adropted it
nice, at least it is consistant
what does imminent core detonation mean?
the surface looks hexagon is that a glitch
Hello! So, if i repair everything in cargo before salvaging a ship i get more credits, but does it change anything if i extract a module instead? (Hull - wings)
its a hexagonal planet
No. May as well not repair it except for the launch thrusters if you want just the wings
what does imminent core detonation mean?
Flavor
I see, thank you!
Do people do that in general to create ships or are Corvettes the norm?
ah yes
Whatever you prefer
I build old school ships i have one practical corvette but my play doesn't usually require a corvette.
but they are very popular
Will a B-Class organic frigate eventually rank up to an S-Class?
Thank you friends
Thanks.
not on its own
What do you mean?
You have to send it on expeditions
you may have to feed it- i could be wrong
Feeding is for changing its type
frigate will yes
All you have to do is send it on expeditions. It will eventually reach S class.
Glad to hear that, NGL!
? can i not use corvette
You're already in a mission from your corvette
my first pet :)) super random but its cute xD
question is, to like improve them and eventually breed I need freighter right
No
the nexus and corvette missions are tied in background and one needs to complete before a new one can start
It will always remain the same class, same with its offspring. Also you don't need to breed them. One by itself can lay an egg.
You can improve the existing pets somewhat (not class just stats) by using them in battles
Hi guys, I started playing not long ago and I have a question: how do I find Growing / Rapidly Growing Mass on a planet? I've already flown around many planets but can't find this specific resource. I don't want to use guides or coordinates; I want to understand the logic and the spawn patterns of this resource myself. Thank for help)
oh I thought it needs some kind of breeding or whatever. how do they la yeggs needs to be in an enclosure of sorts?
Runaway Mold?
how can I get a s tier pet?
Nope. Just its native climate.
Find one
so it must stay on original planet more or less? and me waiting there or what?
it can be any specie?
Same biome, doesn't have to be the same planet
Theyre not super uncommon, found an SSS on the first planet i looked for one on
Yep
what is sss
S in all stats
Nope. Just a planet with the native climate there. So this guy requires an unusual biome, if i take him there he will be willing to lay an egg
how do I understand if so
Yes, where should I look for them? What star class do they spawn in, and is it necessary to fly closer to the galactic center?
aaand how long I gotta wait on that planet doing whatever till it wants to do that?
Triple S looks like this
It'll tell you when you try to interact with your pet. A 24 hour timer after you capture them it will be willing to lay eggs
24h 😄
wonder what evil spells that one has?
thats ages 😄
You don't have to be in the climate the whole time
It just goes down in the background. I dont think you even need to play the game the whole time
You just need to be in the climate when you want it to lay the egg. it will gestate over time no matter where you are
can they pop out in anomaly?
ooh timer goes just... okay. still super long
If the anomaly is its required environment. But i don't know what environment the anomaly is
Roughly 1 in 3 planets will have it. There are 3 3-star resources that are found on planets. Icon in your visor will look like this. Go to the deposit when you find one, it will be Runaway Mold, Metal Fingers, or Sac Venom. If it's not Runaway Mold, change planets and repeat your search. Biome doesn't matter, Economy doesn't matter
It'll be over before ya know it lol
Just go do other stuff (like finding even more critters!) and tomorrow it should be ready
24 is super long with my 3-4hours play sessions its what 7-8 days 😄
Oh, I understand, I thought there was a connection to the planets, thanks for the answer
no no its real time
I dont think you need to play the game for the timer to go down
It just goes down
So
Is there anywhere in game that shows you the names of symbols for the living ship quest?
ooooh
In 24 hours real time it will be ready
thats okay then
so you are waiting til yomorrow play time
24 hours gameplay would suuuckkk 😭
timer walls sux anyhow..
In egg description.
void egg I think is 24h in game no ?
Those are its natural abilities
Forgot to include the icon
That's pretty good actually
No
That thing is scary
I mean he is maxed out, i literally just have him because i like how he looks
@flint girder I got toadppt to see stats right?
But how do you know which symbol goes to those names?
Yeah, I figured out what the icon looks like, I just came across metal fingers, but not Runaway, but I'll try to search some more, thanks.
What
the animal
You can use the analysis visor, scanning them with the new creature option (the one furthest to the right)
That will show stays
Trail and error. U can check #nms-spoilers pinned messages
Stats
ok ty
Same way as looking for a hotspot or whatever but its a creature scanner
hi, may i ask, why the portal in my room have no electricity
Does your base have power
i build it on the freighter
yeah
there is a teleporter ROOM for freighter?
Its like the freighter portal room too? Not like a glitched in terminus?
Yes
Yea
No there is a legitimate teleporter room you can place in the freighter
oh yes, i fixed it, i just need to warp it to another system
Oh cool
ty guys
Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Ofc!
that is one for the books
yeah, weird bug XD
by warping you changed the "state" of the ship and it connected..
yeah, i think it somekind of reboot
long time ago I was caught in a wall - in my pals freighter and was stuck until he warped.
i was in a door way too. i think it was the old rooms.
i got stuck in some npc freighter too, but after abt 10 sec of wiggling, i got out XD
i got my first settlement and started investing in buildings by upgrading them, but im looking at some videos and im realizing my maintenance cost is pretty high.. is it worth it to keep investing in this settlement?
got 5 buildings to A rank and the rest is below that
all settlements start with bad stats that will improve over time as you keep upgrading buildings, making decisions, and replacing negative features with positive ones
none of them are better or worse than any other
ok so its saveable
always
may i ask, how lomng does it usually take to hava a s tier freighter?
I mean I just got here but y’all talking pretty informative. Even though it wasn’t mean for me thanks lol
Meant
cuz i saw some videos of settlements already at a possitive or close to it, but mine is pretty awfull in that regard 😛
its most of the reason i hang out here lol
No time frame on it. You either find out or you don't.
Hecks ya
I spent 4 hours grinding away at pirates to get my S class
My first freighter I got which was recent is already b tier
right. it might take a while to turn it around, but just keep making changes and it'll turn around. keep an eye on what effects your decisions will have
I couldn't bring myself to settle for a B tier when i found out my first freighter could be a free S class
Not rng
