Thanks mann
Thank u!!!
I have recorded a short video that shows the process
for some reason whenever i try to play with my pc friend, it always says “Version Mismatch” although I’m pretty sure I’m updated to the latest patch on XBOX, any help?
Xbox doesn't have the 6.34 update, Steam/PS/GOG does
oh ok, thank you
See the !nmsversions command to see the latest released patch for each platform
and see #nms-news-ticker for notifications when each platform has received an update
Xbox/Switch are not automated with those #nms-news-ticker updates, we have to trigger them. I'm usually on top of checking for Xbox updates, but I haven't today
can someone help me find activated copper?
Keep scanning planets from your ship in yellow systems. Every planet will have either copper or activated copper
thanks, do i use the economy or life form filter to understand if its a yellow star system?
Stellar class F and G
Neither are necessary, the stellar class is visible by default
The beginning letter being F or G indicates that it's a yellow star system
all of the letters/numbers after the first are meaningless
Yes
Moons have all the same biomes and properties that planets can have, they just can't have oceans outside of purple star systems
20% of all non-dead/weird worlds in yellow star systems will have Activated Copper instead of Copper as their Stellar Metal
Oh man, it actually worked. Probably wouldn't be time-effective to try and craft hundreds of them to sell...but at least now I know how to craft them.
Thanks for help and explanation!
what exactly determines how much is the scanning of a new discovery worth? besides upgrades i mean
At best, you could place extra parts in your current starship (I forget if the editor pulls from that) or you could place them in a non-primary ship
some planets i get paid half a mil some 10k
Rarity of that specific type of creature, some food also increases scan value
Fauna that aren't common around the universe tend to scan for a bit more units
Yeah, that'd work decently I suppose.
what do i do with illegal black market goods like dna samples and counterfeit circuit boards?
Sell them
Hi guys im sorry i cant find the no mans Sky help category so im gonna ask help here. Recently i changed galaxy and i didn’t knew all my things were gon a brake. Now I have to find cristal heart I think in english? It s something I need to repair my ships and I cant find it. If soemone could give me some pleasee??
Sell at any non-pirate system
is it possible that world safety influences the credits?
like scans from planets that are constantly killing you are worth more
This is the help channel. Crystalized Hearts drop from corrupted sentinels. You can also summon another ship to get you where you need to be, or get to where you can get some repair kits, then swap back to that ship via the quick menu or on your freighter
I do not know
so i had this ship delivered from that one thingy does anyone have any clue how to use this thing cause i sure as hell do not
But if this were the case, I would assume this would be known and implemented into guides
So I just need to destroy the flying things on a dissonant planet?
Only the creator of the ship would know where the cockpit was placed etc, unless its visible in size
Ask in the discord for that tool specifically
!creativehublink
alright, thanks
You might just have to explore it to find an interaction point, as it's popular to make the cockpit microscopic via external editing programs and build a custom cockpit design instead
Is there a glitch to get money fast

Set Purchases to Free in the difficulty options
This makes all interactions that use Units or Nanites no longer use those currencies, and instead become free
Can I still procress through story
Is my save gonna be gone?
Custom?
I'm not sure what you're referring to
NVM
That's just the displayed preset, this doesn't matter, it just indicates that the options you have chosen don't align with any specific preset
My friend csnt see my corvette and when he can see it he can’t see the door so he just phases through the bridge and shit
The only possible consequence is only present if you were previously on Survival, where the special achievement for that specific preset would no longer be obtainable on that save permanently
All other achievements can be earned regardless of chosen difficulty options (besides the Permadeath one that requires Death Consequences = Save Deletion, but you can change the options it lets you to whatever you wish in that too, just with many restrictions that it fully blocks)
Youre the best
Possibly resummon it, or have them try leaving and rejoining
many issues used to exist with corvettes never loading for other players, these issues have almost completely been fixed to my knowledge
if this keeps occurring, you can report it to Hello Games

what is the easiest food to make for cronus
why can my corvette only have 2 landing gears
has anyone found any mechanized fauna with SSS class?
Does this do something or just decoration?
It can have up to three in the tech inventory, four visibly having effects, and an endless amount actually on it
you may just have only 2 landing gear in your inventory currently
Yes
It is purely for decoration, it has no function
is there a way to locate salvageable scrap the same way you can use the catalogue to locate resources?
Not to my knowledge, but it isn't uncommon enough to need that really
can you hide wiring on your base?
elerictal cloacking unit
Yes, there is an object that hides all wires outside of build mode when it is placed, the Electrical Cloaking Unit
dont think i have that yet
It's at the Construction Research Station, on page 17
yeah i know the place
how do i use this thing? i have enough ferrite dust but keeps saying insufficient power
It's not powered
to power it, attach it to a prefab structure that is itself powered
Aka, most of the objects in these pages
Storage Containers 0-9 also count for this
so i cant use the walls?
It cannot be powered when attached to those walls
note that being indoors already fully recharges your Hazard Protection by default
does anyone know a way to get activated copper? Ive been in the space station speaking to people for 10 minutes and nobody sells it, I dont have a two item refiner and my original starting worlds dont got it
you must survey planets
20% of nearly all planets in yellow systems have it in their mineral list
just mine it yourself
yep
I don't think it's sold ever
I cant go to those it says i need a specific hyperdrive
nope, no stellar metals are sold
No, you do not
Yellow star systems do not need any special hyperdrive upgrades to reach
they are the type of star system that you start the game in
survey planets and you'll see "activated copper" instead of just "copper"
yellow system is prob the one your in right nnow
That's red
oh what
red star systems need the Cadmium Drive to reach
Yellow star systems have their stellar class begin with F or G, not K
Only red star systems have their stellar class begin with K or M
-# note that the letters/numbers after the first are meaningless in these strings
alright
thanks ill remember that
so i just gotta go to those and I have a 20 percent chance on each planet to find it?
Yes, scan planets to see if they have Activated Copper instead of Copper
example of when you've found it
it will display on their planet resource list
goat tysm
appreciate you 
worlds with Rusted Metal or Gold listed won't ever have it, as those planets can never have storms in the first place #nms-commands message
Am I missing something? I was told you can get the "Aeron" corvette blueprints with the quicksilver vendor...but he has no parts lol
(Activated Stellar Metals indicate that the planet has Extreme weather, meaning non-storm weather will be as harsh as a storm normally would, and extreme storms happen frequently which are extremely dangerous/harsh)
Whoever told you this was mostly incorrect. You can only claim them from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion if you claimed the relevant phase in Expedition 20: Breach
Ohhh
If you did not do this, you cannot get them outside of unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message or just being given them by another player
If you manage to get even one, you can copy it in the Corvette Editor using the resources that it's blueprint normally requires, you can do this even if you lack the blueprint
this requires Options > Difficulty > Crafting = Standard, or else the module is deleted instead of placed in your cargo inventory upon collection
Thank you! Unfortunately I don't have even 1. 🙁 Maybe I can find someone who can share lol
Try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades
Uh i last played years ago and i picked the game back up recently are expeditions smt i can repeat later? Or am i just fulled locked out of the rewards😔
Locked out, outside of stuff on PC that let you replay them offline or just get their rewards
or some which can be transferred between players, like items (corvette modules), companions or starships #nms-legacy-ships message
How do i make my own ship
Depends on which kind of ship. Like a fighter/hauler/explorer/solar ship, which use the Starship Fabricator, or a Corvette-class starship, which use the Corvette Workshop
Here are images of both of those, both are found aboard every regulated space station
Just the kind for going to planets
the latter is on all space stations
I cant make the ship
how do i get sentinel fighter jets or buy cool fighter jets
All ships can do this, I guess Explorers would be good for this for their lowered launch costs and multiplied hyperdrive ranges, or corvettes for their faster pulse drive speeds and ability to beam down from them
For Sentinel Interceptors, see this post #nms-commands message
I cant make it
If you mean Fighters, Vy'keen systems have the most different fighter designs per system
Is someone sending messages here cuz i keep getting the notifs but no message
What's faster for pulse drive? Maxed out solar or maxed out corvette?
- there's no sentinel ship subtypes, just sentinel ships with different looks (1 per suitable dissonant system)
- there's more fighter designs in non outlaw vykeen systems - so you could look for them in those systems, or even build one
Which type of ship are you trying to make
Corvette
I believe they just have a multiplier for that, they're just the fastest for it
Supercharging/maximizing adjacency for the Sub-Light Amplifier and the Pulse Engine improves this further
For the story missions and for exploring
didnt find any mentions for your userid in this channel
It keeps like
how do you get parts to build your own can i buy them
I made too much space on my Corvette and idk what to do with it :/
fighter parts you get from salvaging fighter ships, need to get at least 3, each one for 1 part you want to use e.g. thrusters, wings, cockpit.
Well if you want to build a Fighter, Hauler, Explorer or Solar ship then you will have to salvage existing versions of those ships, choosing to Extract a Customisation Module from them in the Starship Outfitting Terminal interface. You will need to salvage 3 ships of the same type this way to extract different parts from each of them. You can identify which type of ship one is by aiming your Analysis Visor at one. You will also need a Reactor, which can be purchased from the starship tech merchant aboard space stations
Like 12 empty walls I can place stuff
Am i geeked or🙏😭
@sonic spade only parts you can actually buy with units directly are corvette parts - and that's a ship we build from the ground up, can have a small base inside etc. and oh, we cant build sentinel ships.
@swift sand is Corvette living wall decoration only or I can plant something on it?
can plant on it yeah
:D
You can plant the plants on it
need to unlock the plant bps first ^
😢
just like hydroponic trays/bio-domes/etc
Also is there more than these 6 things for Corvette wall? I have like 12 empty spaces left
No
nah those are it
._.
You can also build decorations from the other categories of base building objects
including all interior and exterior decoration things
Ok
I’m on the in stellar multitudes quest trying to find sentience echos. Everytime I scan with my visor it says distance to far. Been hopping all over the planet. What am I missing?
make sure planet is dissonant, dont be in a group with friends
I’m not in group and on dissonant
if planet is dissonant, can possibly using visor instead of target sweep to look for sentience echo icons
If you're on a mountainous planet, fly to space and fly around to the other side of the planet to try and find an area that's more flat
if it has oceans, go to where the land and water meet to usually find flatter terrain
Is there a way to remove photon cannon from Corvette?
Normal visor worked once I spotted one my sweeper began picking them up…. Ty. Took like 15 min lol
Adding on to this, if the planet has oceans, the land is often flatter closer to the water
Not even talking about just the shores; it starts getting flat pretty early
The one exception is the tropical island preset/theme which just puts random mountains in the ocean as the only land
how do i get cadmium
Mine it from planets that have it
Planets that have it are found in red star systems
how do i make better refiners the portable one aint doing it
Red star systems require a Cadmium Drive installed to reach
You can research the blueprint for the Cadmium Drive from Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly
i beeen going round for a hour is ts rarei have the cadmium drive
Research them at the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly, on page 3
note that these are not faster, they just enable you to use multi-input recipes and not requiring fuel
alright thanks
which can be more efficient or even faster in many specific cases
strongly recommend unlocking personal refiner mk2 exosuit tech from selene exosuit research npc in the anomaly as well
also how would i get a suit in built one
also, the Freighter Refining Room and Corvette Refiners function identically to the Large Refiner, with 3 input slots and no fuel requirements
saw my brother had one and it wwas sick
is that it?
appreciate yall
make sure you're warping to red star systems, spectral class K or M - see image
Red systems are not rare at all, they are extremely common and are found in all regions of space
look for stars that have their stellar class begin with K or M
these star are also visually larger than most others, with a red coloring
personally, i prefer to just switch to the lifeform filter, and then look for the biggest white star(s) around me
since 95% of them are uncharted
then just confirm through spectral class
Do I sell all salvaged data? Just got started.
early on feel free to sell some for basics, e.g. microprocessors, but after you unlock access to space anomaly by progressing main storyline, you'll want to start using it for researching base parts

Thank you @swift sand @tulip dust
My settlement building layout changed again. Linked post from October shows a previous change. The image is today's layout. Only happens to my autophage settlement.
#nms-questions message
Possibly report this as a bug, as similar things have happened before and been fixed

Submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
like in the Worlds Part I update, all settlement layouts were reshuffled and then put back into their original layout in a hotfix
Could anyone help?
As my name from steam got changed ingame and added to my name ___ "The Bones". Is there any way to change that?
check appearance modifier, banner, player title? not sure i understood the question right
Your Steam name is your name in-game. If you want to change one, change the other
lets say my steam name is "aa" for example. Ingame i see "aa The bones"
That's a player title, like bk said. Appearance Modifier, banner tab, player title
Where can u change the title?
any appearance modifier, for example the one in a space station or in the anomaly
Thank you guys. It was an title that i had equipped
Where do u find staffs?
You make them, after you complete the requirements to unlock them
What do u need to do

Make sure the steps below are completed.
⚠️ Use #nms-commands for FAQ commands below & check #nms-questions for the latest details about the update.
- Finish the Artemis Path (main story).
Run !Faq-ArtemisPathin #nms-commands. - Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp.
Run !Faq-Interceptorin #nms-commands. - Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.
❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

With update 4.44, completion of the mission, A Trace of Metal is no longer required. A Settlement used to be needed -- except on Switch, where you'd have to trigger it by warping 25 times.
an alternative would be that you could obtain the parts needed to build one like it, and color customize it
a project for later then 🙂

Should I be using the mining beam or hijacked laser?
Hijacked laser is only available on sentinel weapons, and they can both be used simultaneously on those tools
Both?
@near prism ^^ mining beam will buff hijacked laser, and if you were thinking of supercharged slot usage for mining, you'd supercharge both + 2 upgrade modules for higher damage
is learning language a pseudo choice?
It will help you understand what the various NPCs are saying
As well as solving some puzzles you may come across
can you learn the same word twice?
I have em both on the MT, but is there any difference between them when mining?
I do not believe so
they both benefit from the same stat boosts, using one should be identical to using the other even if one is supercharged and the other is not etc
I'll stick with hijacked cause red
last i had a sentinel tool, i didnt have both techs available to switch between - just hijacked laser, even with mining beam on
I've just been switching things over to it, still at the station :p
it just made hijacked laser stronger, mine for longer
is there a good way to farm early game or should I just progress story
How do report a bug
I want to get enough money to start plying around with corvettes and fleats
I forgot
how do i get back to a Galaxy i didnt place a base in?
best way to get loads of money early want to build epic corvette
If you visited a space station, you might be able to use a teleporter to get back there
I just encountered 3 sentinel walkers while fighting, is this intended or a bug?
i tried. i cannot
In that case, you might need a lift from another player
the ones with or without arms?
Without, when i say walkers i mean the big guys who show up at level 5
sounds like a bug; should only ever be one as far as I know
I would have asked the first time i encountered 3, but i was playing with 2 other players and thought the amount scaled based on how many players were in the fight
oh if there are other players then it might be intended
but if you're solo idk
maybe try restarting the game?
will do, i have to anyways cause somehow a walker got stuck underground and wont die
that's a known issue; surprised it still isn't fixed
thanks for the help
Is there any way to change the camera distance from a corvette?
not without mods
It doesn't change if I move the buildto the front in the corvette editor?
I thought you were talking about the 3rd person view; the first person view will be wherever you put the cockpit at
and yes, it is possible to completely obscure the first person view if you put stuff in the way
Thats what I mean, the 3rd person view. I followed a tutorial and the fpv is manageable, like the anaconda in ED but the 3rd person view is all thrusters lol
then no; I think it's just automatically determined by the general size of the ship
F 🙁 Thank you
3 star things like mold/fingers ect, shouldnt they respawn?
I built a portal near one and it hasnt. I didnt mess with the terrain.
they do, but the exact circumstances to make them respawn seem a big vague
was worried that maybe i should have not built so close
ok cool
its been a day since i made this, no repop yet
might just have to find another
I found with some resources like runaway mold if you build things too close to it now that it will stop them from respawning, so i made my base like 50u away
can i tame these or are they to high flying?
Probably too high flying. Quick way to check is when you use your scanner, swap to the creature survey mode. If you see stats then they're tamable.
oh
without mods, cant tame high fliers. or iow, can only tame yeah, creatures who show you stats/potentials when using the new creature visor mode

Is it possible to do most things while staying in one system?
I want to industrialize a system
If you find the right system. Yes.
you'll be able to do many things in the same system, but not all of it - finding a system that checked all possible boxes might be a long time to find
What should I be looking for in a system?
really depends on what you like doing i guess. we can pretty much live in any system or systems, we can have up to 400 base computers and use 21k parts per save. your tastes about planets, what biomes you prefer, what color schemes you want to find, what farms you want to have, even possibly down to the skybox colors and space station 3d model, if the system has one. stuff like a planet with curious deposits, a planet with salvageable scrap, etc - it depends on your requirements, and how many requirements you add to the list for the "perfect" system
The truly perfect system would have a lot of requirements
I guess a better question is how in depth can researching become? I saw something about genome sequencing but I haven’t gotten that far in game yet
can you elaborate on this? what do you think of when you say industrialize a system?
Ah that's with eggs. That's done with certain resources at the anomaly
Oh. Well technically every system works then
companion egg sequencing is basically done using a terminal in the space anomaly - get an egg from a companion, put it in the sequencer, add a material to one of the slots, process it, hatch to see what happens. can process the same egg multiple times before hatching too.
But iirc you can't change the rating of an economy between 1 star and 3 star
"ELECTRICAL DISTURBANCE" and i RAN for my life i do NOT want to find out how much damage this does
instakill
cant improve the economy properties of a system though. can only have 1 uploaded base per planet per account. there's a limit of 3k parts for an uploaded base.
They could get a colony on a lush world. That might be the closest you can do
it does some damage when you're stacking shield upgrade modules, but not enough for an insta kill. no upgrade modules on, it'll probably hurt a bit more, but probably wont kill us, at least not on normal mode
So is genome sequencing only for creatures?
Yes
Although some of them really aren't creatures
Because you can get an egg from this guy and change his dna
Can you genetically modify creatures and release them into the wild?
well, they're nms creatures hehe
No. Releasing them back in to the wild is not possible.
how to find planet teleport codes
egg sequencing (because you can do more than just gene splitting) is for your pets eggs - discarding a pet discards it from your character save file basically, and game doesnt add them to another planets fauna list
Can I see a log of the missions I’ve already done anywhere? I’m trying to get the atlantid drive and I can’t remember if I did the relevant quests to trigger the mission
could try #explorers-archive , searching #nms-fauna for images, nmsce.com, or r/nmscoordinateexchange
Dang I was hoping the science stuff was more in depth
i mean for the planet im on so i can provide the code if anyone wants the flora ive found
Photo mode
- mission log: atlas eternal and new beginnings mission in your Log? you're good there
- catalog&guide, collected knowledge - left side bar, do you see autophage? click it - do you see they who returned on the right? you're good.
Ah they’re no there
oh sorry, yeah, open photo mode on the planet, if glyphs arent showing lower left already, hide and then unhide the photo mode menu ui
So that’s where I need to start, thanks
Bottom left in photo mode @deep scroll
type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands for more infos
thank you both
Oh yeah I did some research already, I just couldn’t tell where I needed to start
Yeh thank you guys
I’ll have to find something else to do rather than completely alter environments
With genetically modified plants
actually technically that one is possible
is there a thread or group of images of very normal looking creatures/fauna?
and there's also another thing btw - dont go hog wild with terrain manipulation; your save file cant remember terrain edits forever, and they might not show to other players either
Say for example i can change the colours and stuff on this guy's offspring if i get it to lay an egg and use the gene squencer on the anomaly
Oh I don’t like changing the terrain too much
not a dedicated one afaik, try #nms-fauna or #explorers-archive search for images; and add text like "cow"
Sad there's no permadeath tournaments for our companions
But can the new color be added to the planet’s environment to proliferate naturally?
No unfortunately not
cant modify planet seed basically
The biggest change you can make to a planet is renaming it when you upload it and building a big base
yeah, renaming discoveries, uploading a base for others to see if they come across the system and you're not there/have multiplayer disabled
You cannot permanently alter the fauna, flora, or minerals
if you destroy a rock somewhere on a planet, only your save remembers that you did, and not forever
True
In fact if you destroy a tree next to your base, teleport away, teleport back. The tree might have respawned
Need me like a Spore Creatures add on lol
This makes me happy cause I’ve definitely destroyed plants by calling my ship on top of them lol
Or accidentally used the terrain manipulator instead of the mining laser
Wanting to industrialise a star system but being afraid of hurting a bush is an interesting take
Environmentally conscious industrialization
lol
how do I find glyphs after getting to a planet that has them?
Photo mode, bottom left of your screen
you mean finding graves?
yes
usually, planets like these will have uploaded bases, each next to a grave - often they'll be named like "grave 1", "grave 2" and so on. did you interact with the teleporter in the station, and with multiplayer disabled, checked "other bases"?
best way to reach these robot planets ? i cant find a storyline.
So I shut down sentinels at a pillar to farm inverted mirrors and stuff but non of those creatures are showing on my scanners now?
Randomly
having shut them down shouldnt affect your visor icons ime - should still work just as usual. perhaps try to do a quick workaround for a recent bug just in case, switch to target sweep and back again to base visor mode. but that done, it's just a matter of keep looking
that's how I got to one that said "16 glyphs"
random exploration, but they only spawn in uncharted systems (systems with no race icon on the galaxy map)
neat thanks
but I haven't seen any other base besides the first one
well, but you probably used the anomaly teleporter for that right?
station teleporter
do I go back to the anomaly and port back down?
weird. well, what i described before is the usual way of doing this/facilitating other players - i dont know the specifics on that system. personally, i just find my own graves if i need to, using the eliminate haz flora nexus mission type (which always starts at a grave)
where can i trade in this serfer
other player bases you see in the anomaly teleporter, if they're not featured bases, they're bases of players that were connected to the same anomaly multiplayer instance you were - which means that the next time you goto anomaly, that base you teleported to at first might not show up anymore. like i said before, if you dont see other bases uploaded in the station teleporter, then this system probably wont be of much help to you as is, you'd have to find graves manually or through travelers - if there are any
@knotty frigate i'd recommend just completing the main storyline: will have learned the full glyph set by the time you're done, going to need it to unlock autophage and purple star systems - and it only takes a few hours if you focus on progressing it
Ok visor is working now but my ship scanner icons at top are not. I use to see them in ship
anyone know what upgrading the overseer office actually does lol
Hey guys, i have a question, matchmaking services arent working on my pc. Any solutions?
you mean the compass icons at the top center right. hmm, and you're flying close enough? i usually just make use of photo mode as a drone camera so i can see what's around me better
upkeep cost and profit should balance out
Yea compass. So it’s a bug u think?
iirc adds productivity, happiness? you can see what it currently does iirc if you interact with its terminal?
possibly. maybe try to head back out to space and fly back down
plz guys, can I get some guidance? It haven't worked in months.
what hasnt - the game? you mean you cant launch the game? what platform are you on?
oh wait, i see
matchmaking

thanks
look at your inventories: how many void eggs do you have?
One
double check exosuit, ship, freighter, even exocrafts if you ever had any
Nevermind I have 2?!?
tell us their names
I’ve only ever had one
are they in the same activation state?
Jeff and Ben
odd, usually it causes issues if there's more than 1, and they're not the same. but we'll take care of this. delete one of them, doesnt matter which. how many organs do you have already? none? or 1?
so mature neural stem?
What if I put it in a storage container
Yes
it doesn't matter - if you deleted both, the quest would still progress, and repop another in your inventory (failsafe)
ime, you should delete it now
Ok
it will cause issues later when quest progresses, and changes egg again to a diff activation state
I delete one
how long does it take to reach the center of a galaxy? ive been warping through blackholes for an hour and still havent made it
Don't do that
@civic osprey so delete it, then exit ship at the space station, return to main menu, load up again, then put egg in exosuit if it's not already, have starbirth quest selected in the log, and then goto space and pulse (hold space or controller bumpers) towards empty space. may need to stay in pulse for a minute or so, but usually much faster than that
Tysm
is this about a mission titled the purge?
no i just got bored and wanted to move into another galaxy
Have you got the first glyph?
If so find a portal. Spam that glyph. Tadaaaaa. You're at the center
no i havent what is the glyph?
quickest way is to portal using the first glyph only. it sets you fairly close to the center
im gonna do more of the story before trying to go outside of the galaxy😭
if you haven't progressed the story to The Purge, try to locate traveller graves. they're floaty rhombus shaped POIs. they give glyphs
alr
Have you been to a space station and seen a hologram of an alien walking around? If not, visit space stations. You'll find one. Talk to him twice. Pay the 100 nanites. Tadaaa you have the first glyph once you go to the marked location.
i'd say that there's tons and tons to explore, still unexplored in the euclid galaxy - but if you wanted to say, goto eissentam, the first lush type galaxy on the list, you could just teleport to an anomaly featured base with "last egg" in the name
Does getting a settlement out of debt always take so long? And is it worth making the production stuff on then to s as soon as possible?
alr
the larger the gap between prod and maintenance, the faster it clears (or increases) debt
do i need to keep the brain in my exosuit too?
i'd suggest keeping all starbirth related items in your suit while you do the quest, yes.
ok
Trying to reroll the helios egg. I figure it would be faster if i had my ship in this spot. How do i get my ship in to this specific spot?
think it's random which spot it picks. do you have multiplayer disabled? that usually does it for me, but not always
Can someone remind me as I can't recall, do you need to do the waiting game for a second living ship or can i just grab a living egg from the quicksilver shop and do pulse hops?
do the translators stack
can i just grab a living egg from the quicksilver shop and do pulse hops?
yep. check!faq-livingshipin #nms-commands for more infos
alright, thanks.
-# i apparently can't read today
yep, but they dont teach you words they translate, so eventually you'll just not need them anymore. not long term techs iow
i’m not too bothered i learn words from every npc at every station i go anyway, just like seeing what they say
so i can stack all 3 + the artemis one together for 7 words translated?
Thank you
yes they stack - but iirc just the a+s class was enough to get to translated word cap
damn alrighty thank you anyway
this a derelict freighter?
a non boardable one, yes
@lone marlin to find the boardable ones, you basically want to buy coordinates from scrap dealer npc in space stations - then goto space and use the emergency signal scanner item
Im trying to get a class S sentinel ship. Since you can scan them before fixing them and know the rank, is there a way to reset the armonic camp location without having to repair the ship?
Like i already know is a class B for example and i dont want it
- we can use the same camp to find more than one site
- i basically just mark the camp, trigger a spike, goto ship site, aim visor at it - if not i wanted, i face hug it but dont interact with it, and just return to camp, and trigger another spike - and it picks a different site. at least, in the same session.
Oh so if i return to the camp without fixing, i get another location?
Thats what i was wondering
yeah should work just like that
Im gonna try on the Next, thx
How can I make a settlement make fridget fuel?
needs to have a s-class landing pad iirc
Does the landing pad decision appear when I get an s class overseer office? Or just randomly later on?
getting a landing pad construction project probably wont take long going from the experience with my settlements - but you must not be upgrading any buildings in order to get a decision that starts a new building. after you have it built, just class upgrade it to s.
Doesn't upgrading something to S tier make the sentinels attack more often?
not that i'm aware of; there's settlement traits that can even lower the rate at which the sentinel alert counter increases
When I upgraded my office to S tier a few days ago it boosted sentinel alert by 15%
well, but that sounds like it just added more on top of it - not changing the rate at which it climbs after that
sentinel alert is a number that grows constantly. are you sure it went up from the building and not from the time spent upgrading?
tbh it's been a while, but i dont really remember having any kind of issue with sentinel alert rate and the values it's tuned to
It jumped immediately when the construction upgrade finished
But i don't recall if it changed the rate. If It didn't then damn
I was trying to get this helmet and it says that quicksilver popped up on the right hand side, but when I tried to modify my appearance and going to heads, it doesn’t show up. I got the staff, but the helmet isn’t showing up and I don’t know why.
I had so many buildings at A tier
Yee there is as I got one but how do u get rid of sentiels in ur camp?
Kill them lol
so you claimed the helmet in the quicksilver shop? or..
if this is something like service bot, just go ask in its home discord server
Then ask in the discord where the tool is managed, the service bot is not an official service or anything
!creativehublink @mental glade
No. I’m on the no man’s sky app and I had it delivered to me. I got the staff but now I’m trying to get the helmet but it’s not showing up and I don’t know if I’m looking in the wrong place or not.
@mental glade https://discord.gg/AEXcap6
Ty
yeah, then just ask in its server
they'll know best
@mental glade remember that your char might need to be anomaly race to use it/see it
Creatures can roll as C/C/C, this is normal
This is terrible
You were right. Thank you.
That was my problem. Thank you so much.
Can someone please Help me with how the hell combat works? ive gotten to a mssion where there is a giant mech guarding some kinda pillar and no matter what i do i cant kill it. my weapon takes almost a full 110 round mag dump just to kill normal drones, despite having 2 different high tier upgrades. ive been trying for the last 2 hours and Atp im prepared to drop this game Entirely if i cannot figure something out. ive even tried using the personal shield and it literally does absolutely nothing against anything. anything that hits the shield still does full dmg to me. i have no clue what im doing wrong.
can you post a screenshot of your multitool tech inventory please?
we might be able to give some tips
personally, i'd suggest to stay on the move, strafe, make use of melee jetpacking to quickly gain breathing room, often try use the energy shields that sentinels spawn to shield myself from their shots
in terms of techs, it'd be really nice to have paralysis mortar and voltaic amplifier installed (space anomaly, multitool research npc)
What does the coblt core do? The settlement upgrade
try something like this
How do u farm a child of Helios?
past expedition pet
Ohh
the "coblt core"? hmm, can you interact with the building terminal and see what it does? or is this a settlement trait?
i just collect expedition rewards, claim the helios egg, hatch it, not SSS? reload save.
Can any settlement type make frigate fuel?
Can’t find a good place explaining what each settlement type will produce
There's settlement types?
The different races
Has anybody ran into this before? I can't see any buildable part when inside a friend's corvette
Many settlement production options are based on the buildings in that settlement and their class. S class starship landing pads allow any settlement to produce frigate fuel
Can it's very RNG'y, since you can only build starports when they are actively offered as option, but one is more than enough
Every building type should come up eventually
Unless they recently fixed the timers on other settlements, only Gek settlement has proper production times, the other 3 types have awkward times
Ok ty. Think I was reading some old stuff before they were updated maybe
Though the building opportunities also only happen if there isnt any active construction
Thx. i was able to kill it barely finally.
I cant remember what it was for but Ial o remember was it was a choice at the overseer between that and logistic stuff
What planets tend to have deep oceans
Any with lithium in a purple star system
Waterworlds are rarer than Gas Giants, but they contain Lithium. Be prepared to use the Nautilon to go an insanely deep distance
Are they really that deep that’s fire every ocean I found has been barley deep at all
Plan to build a large underwater base
I discovered one that goes to 1300u, the highest is 1800u
Crazy
the lowest trench i found in a waterworld hit just over 2000u
but i could barely fit myself into it
apparently some normal worlds in purple systems can also have extra deep oceans, like around 400u i think
how does one find Non purple system water worlds? i found one that was all deep ocean a single time a long while back on a friends game. ik the non purple ones wont have any of the endgame areas but i just wanna make a underwater base lols
you dont
water worlds are exclusive to purple systems
the true waterworlds i've only seen in purple systems... you can get lucky with deeper oceans on normal planets but i haven't seen many past 200u
unless you mean planets that are almost entirely water but not necessarily that deep
in which case, its just a matter of searching long enough
yeah thats exactly what i mean. ive found one very shallow and islands all over i think it was a tropical world but i still havent found another ocean planet since that one on my friends witch was in a yellow system so im guessing regular old ocean worlds are insanely rare then. Sadge.
the last deep ocean "Normal" world i found was an inhabited red star system
hmmm maybe ill check those. ive been staying in yellow trying to find good a good paradise planet settlement
Warping around using your freighter and the scanner room?
i wonder which map chart that can lead me to better multi tool, is it secret catyographic one?
why would a monolith be in space invisible???
Im thinking about getting nms with a friend. How is the multiplayer?
Can the fishing spot in the settlement trigger the heilos fight?
You can trigger the Child of Aquarius fight at any location on-planet by using the Child of Aquarius item in your inventory
I believe this can even be done on worlds that lack water
If you're asking if you can catch the Child of Aquarius at the settlement fishing spot, that is a yes
Yee ik that as i seen someone screenshot kf em spawning it on land
I believe it can be caught in any biome at any depth
Alr alr cause im debeting on trying that fight
I believe so, they may have extremely small variation though, almost exclusively in size by a bit
oh, they are fully identical in holo arena stats
as they are considered a part of the same species
bummer
was hoping messing with the eggs would change em
eventually make an s rank kinda thing
Does anyone have a spare giant worm egg from expedition 4?
There aren't Monoliths in space
Probably the basic Inhabited Outpost ones, as the Minor Settlements usually have a Multi-Tool Cabinet on the wall. There's also sentinel multi-tools, which can be gotten at a special structure on a certain type of planet for free #nms-commands message
Though you could also always upgrade your current Multi-Tool instead
Possibly try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades
yea i guess upgrade the current one better for now, 3M for a rifle still out of my budget
I guess it bugged out because I used a nav thing and it took me to space
and there was nothing lmao

Does anyone know why a glyph or two sometimes appear on a companion's 5th ability?
Is there anynway to make sure the egg stats are above the "father" creature?
reroll again or take it?>
Go for that S class
I do not have a freighter, debating gambling for first free S :T
S class for free is so nice
If you know how to roll for freighter, go nuts, otherwise you'd be waiting a while for a second shot anyway
am trying lmao
rerolling, I have a save and restore point
What economy tier is that freighter in?
If they're considering a B class when they're rerolling it has to be outlaw
Way too easy to get an A class from a 3 star if you're rerolling
Sure, I just wanted to make sure they weren't rolling in T1 economy
3star
May as well at least grab an A class if you're going through the effort of rerolling then
Then A rank should be the minimum you should aim for, as wraith said, it's easy to get at least A in T3 economy
trying
I think they may even have a better chance at A than C? At least close to it
I got B again
You got this i believe in you
I've been going at it for the past 3 hours trying to roll a SSS helios
I'm fine with this honestly
Valid
and it's sentinel which I wanted
this is my freighter, should I keep it or try to find another one
cuz it has like
no supercharged slots or a lot of storage on its own
It has 4 SC slots, and you can add cargo and technology slots to it later
oh
The supercharged slots are in yet to be unlockdd slots
I didn't know that if you added slots it can unlock SC slots
It's a good freighter, imo only reason to change is if you don't like the look
ok
Question, the minimum number of rooms on a derelict freighter is 4 or 3? I have seen 4 but I have never seen crew manifest appearing in the room immediately behind the airlock so 3 is probably not possible?
Yeah, each class of ship/tool/freighter has guaranteed number of SC slots, S-class get 4
No, because there has to be a room that spawns the keycard to unlock the data, and then minimum 3 different separate rooms that get you the objectives.
4
So what would this system be used for
I don't think its an ordinary 2 glyph system
Bc its in the fade in the center of 256
Can i use the same harmonic camp multiple times to keep finding more sentinel ships after ive claimed one?
Yee
Thinking of using the same camp to farm sentinel ships to scrap then sell parts from it.
2 glyph system usually refers to using only
and 
This system has the atlas glyph so
the location is off planet where do i place the signal booster
its not even off planet its in the middle of space next to a intergalactic space station (the yellow diamond thing)
So my main multitool somehow disappeared. If you claim to many does it start deleating ones u have?
Yes, much like starships, except you only have a quota of 6 MTs
Starships do it also?
Yes
Y don’t they put a warning? lol
i did there's no land there
The warning is when the button's text becomes "swap"
Can you screenshot when you get to the marker location?
What are the most and least desirable traits for xeno arena companions?
how do i get back to a galaxy if i didnt place a base there? i cant use a space station teleport.
ok 1 sec
You can ask someone to help you in #nms-lfg-or-trades
Which one you want to go?
If you want to go back to the very first galaxy eculid then i can help.
Eissentam
its supposed to be right where im at
if i land on the planet its in the sky
You can ask in #nms-lfg-or-trades ask for a taxi to this specific galaxy
It's a normal bug it should be fixed within few seconds if not try to reload...
ive restarted the game a couple times already
and its been going on since yesterday
is my save cooked
Yeah go to the same plant and use signal booster again
Every time you use it the percentage goes up
Still glitching?!
Which planet did you start the mission from? Try to go that planet and use the signal booster
See if it works or not
Try to land any planet then and use the signal booster
it did after the first one, am i supposed to leave the booster theree on that planet and craft another one
You can get back to the same planet via space station if you put there a base computer
Can you show me the mission from the log
this is it
i remember it gave me another option when the mission was working
I need to see below if there is a reset to current system
Do you still can see this marker?
yep
If yes try to activate your pulse drive towards it and it might not work in two or three times but fourth one will fix the bug
Go to that marker and the location will be changed
one marker only appears on my sidescreen when out of los (the one right on above a planet) and the other one is empty space next to the yellow diamond station
It will bug for 3 times and then it will be fixed
whats the pulse drive
space?
No the one that helps you to get to a specific location faster
What you playing on PC?
yes
the one that you use to move fast within a system
that is disabled by getting to close to a planet's atmosphere
Yes
ive used it into the marker 15 times
Yes
Is the green food really the best thing to tame the newer creatures?
If you use it and it gets you near the marker it should be changed to a different location for first few minutes it will keeps bugging but later it will be fixed
If this didn't work then try to land on any planet and use signal booster again
spent a couple hours this morning trying to figure it out
i've just done this
Did it change the percentage?!
nope
ok thanks
Is this the system's origin point? Mission sent me here in the middle of space with what i believe to be my fishing rod's floater
That looks glitched. Maybe try reloading your save?
yeah, just did. coordinates fixed now
still, interesting to find out that the fishing rod floater probably is stored near the system's 0.0.0
(it also has collission, both to player and ship)
Aaaaand landed and it's poining to 0.0.0 again
i think the ruins are failing to generate
🤔. Do you have multiplayer on?
Check dms phantom
@mighty carbon i figured it out i had a mod (which i cleverly forgot i had) interfering. idk how but removing it fixed the issue and pinpointed the location to planets
thanks anyway
Cool
in the top left corner, when you get damaged, you can see several circles with crosses in them. those are your units of health
ye
yes, just like in that screenshot
Maybe try reloading it with that off
interesting theory, guess I'll try
wh... i have more.. than one healthbar..?
if i lose that healthbar theres more?
the bar is shields, the crosses are healthpoints. So technically, yes
no, not healthbar, the circles underneath it
the bar is your shield
WOW
ive played the whole game without losing my shield once
because i thought that was my healthbar
took a few tries, but parking a bit of distance away, reloading, and approaching slowly fixed it
and that i die when it reaches 0 LMAO
We all been in your shoes before so your not the first.
well im 109 hours into the game so 😓
im a bit past the starting line
Well it's not a bad idea to treat it as such, once your shield runs out and you start taking health damage, your exosuit tech has an increased chance to get damaged
Believe me am 200 and every day i discover something new
Is it possible after finding hotspots for minerals and build a base there and the put the extractors inside will they be able to work or not?!
afaik, as longs as its in the horizontal position of the hotspot, it'll work, regardless or enclosement
So I’m doing the atlas path right now using my destroyer to reach the far ones i can’t reach but I keep noticing like wanna say “ghost ships” just sitting there they look like my destroyer
That a bug?
Ok thanks for the information
I've put an electromagnetic generator inside a biodome and it works, and i often use a small stone floor panel as a base for any extractor
are you talking about your frigates that follow alongside your freighter?
The pirate ship you can take from the encounter
the dreadnaught
The the one on the left picture is mine the one on the right has others just like mine on the left and right of the space station
strange
Not it's not you actually can go inside them and take some resources they are abandoned ones
I went to land on one and I just started flying in my jet pack and it was tilted
Yeah that's not a bug it's part of the game.
The extractors that require power will work, the ones that require fuel needs you to be there to work
They are copy’s of mine though same colour to and npcs are just landing there
(No way it happened again with a fishing spot this time. Posting here cause i asked bout a similar bug earlier)
You mean they are not destroyed and still functioning?
Like an NPC owns it?
If yes then that's a bug and it happened to me as well.
I didn’t check the bridge but I watched npcs land
In fact the extractors do not require to be even touch the ground for them to work, some people use platforms to stack the extractors into the sky using floating floor times and they work fine
Yeah that's a bug then.
I wish i knew this earlier 😂.
See the same thing
Are you using any mods?!
none
Yeah it happens to me as well it's a bug
So trippy lol
Got like hyperspace sickness or something
To be honest this specific capital ship is bugged because if you get close it you can still see canons have health bar like the Freighter still think you are an enemy and you don't own the dreadnought
I think it's good to get your friend and let them have the NPC one because it's smaller but looking like a capital ship
I don't know if that works
Haven't tried it yet.
There’s no health bar when I went close to it
Use pulse drive to get close to it and if that won't fix it just reload
I meant yours the one you own
Oh lol mb
If you get close to canons you will see
this one was less problematic, it was just a suitable fishing spot
Yeah the game has a lot of bugs.
Earlier had the issue with a dig site
#nms-questions message
Is that npc dreadnought still there?
If yes how about we test it?
Like i join with my second account and give a try.
That's normal it's the game loading process it takes few seconds to process that you are near to the site and then it shows you the building this is very common so all you have to do is get close and wait few seconds this will happen in future as well
But this one it totally different
yeah, this one funily enough sent me to a place without much water as a 'suitable fishing spot', which i found funny
either way, i found my own fishing spot and its counting just fine
Yeah it's a bug i hate it when that happens but it only happened to me like twice and after that never seen it again.
do hexagon planets got a unquire resource, besides hex berries?
All weird worlds have the same resources, besides their special base building objects you can collect
all of them have Hexaberry and Gold
I see. Then my gold-silver strange planet should already cover me, then. thanks
Nope
aww
Landshark/burrowers are also not tameable to my knowledge
Xeno arena would've been a perfect time to up amount of tameable critters
What do the black holes do anyways?
warp you closer to the galaxy center, about 7000 units per jump
What do I do with that?
Explore new sections of the galaxy, or to go in a journey to the center of the galaxy the old fashioned way (like me)
Ah ok
It of curiosity did you happen to find a peaceful planet to live on I forgot the word for it been wanting to move home base from a toxic weather planet to somewhere else
paradise planet? I cross a bunch on my journey, but dont make good note of any of them
my main base is on a scorched one
That’s fair
#explorers-archive or NMSCE for paradise planet glyphs
if you want your own, gotta find one
Gyph’s?
Do I gotta complete this mission before I can do the others or something?
The primary ones
uuh how to fix this bug? the drop pod icon is in space and there's no drop pod around
atlas eternal is eternal, endless, so no, there's no completing it
the other primary missions go hand in hand
basically continue the artemis path (the first traveler) and the anomaly quest will sometimes prompt you to visit the anomaly
with that said, you can just do secondary missions.
Ha, another one. I got the same bug earlier
go to space station, get off space ship to set a restore point, reload it, go to the approximate location of the should-now-refreshed location, if maybe a bit further away, land and reload restore point
that's what fixed it for me
This issue has been being reported by others today, it may have been introduced in the latest update

#nms-questions message
What is it? I’ve seen it once
the structure? some ruins. Spread around underground in the area you can find containers with keys, and with 3 of them you can open a buried chest (also in the area) for a relic you can sell. Both key containers and chest can be spotted with the scope/scanner
Oh cool
where do i find or get a ship like this?
Oh ok, nevermind. Oh and another thing. Are living ships guarenteed to be S class? Im seeing a lot of these ships in the anomaly and im tempted to start hunting for them, but from the little info ive gained from watching videos about them, it seems pretty tedious to get.
Yes, living ships are guaranteed to be S rank
so im assuming they'd be S class when u do get one since there a whole lot of waiting to do? I think like 36 hours of waiting for something
Oh ok nice
Also, that ship is called Starborn phoenix, which is from a time limited DLC, the expedition version is called Starborn runner
Approximately 24 hours of waiting per body part, for a total of 4 parts, but that wait is only ever done once during the Starbirth quest, after you complete it, all subsequent void eggs will behave like carrier ai fragments, you won't need to incubate the organs again
So i need 4 void eggs, time to farm quicksilver ig
I never said that, the starbirth quest requires only one egg
waiting 4 days for a ship, total bullshit imo
oh... just one? I remember the video i watched said i had to do something 3 separate times
Again, you only need to do that 4 day wait once, all subsequent eggs gives the full ship immediately.
The biggest problem I have with the ship is that eggs cost quicksilver (time gated currency) and the difficulty in which it takes to max out the cargo space of even just one of those ships
The quest is one chain, not 4 separate chains
You need exactly one egg per ship, only the first egg has extra steps, all other eggs don't, but it's always one egg = one ship
Right, very well. I'll place that on my to obtain list for now then.
Tbh 4 day wait isnt too bad imo
Just bear in mind that Living ship doesn't take any techs or upgrades from metallic ships (with the sole exception of one), the techs can be obtained from either pulsing in space with living ship or from frigate expeditions, and cargo can only be upgraded from frigate expedition rewards item (spawning sacs), there is no real way around it short of making crafting costs free or duping the spawning sas
I have been doing frigate expedition for well over 3 months, and I still do not have enough sacs to cap out even the cargo of my first living ship
Nevermind capping the tech slots too, this is my humble opinion is why that 4 day wait, IMHO, isn't nearly as bad
oh thats a pain, its module slots are expedition only.
And it's rare, my drop rate is 9 egg drops to 1 sac drop, they should be 1:1 but it seems I am getting eggs far more often for some reason
for the first freighter you ever get in the game, I'm in theory helping someone teleport to a system where a Venator is (looked up the glyph location on Reddit). Yet, when he warps to this system, he gets one of the regular freighters in the dog fight. Are we doing something wrong?
It's really unfortunate, I quite like how the Wraith looks
Capital freighters only show up from the third encounter onwards, a venator is a capital freighter
So a player or npc can give it to me? Or just npc
You can get a player to give one to you via an NPC, but an NPC cannot ever spawn with either Starborn ships
Damn I gotta get one it looks cool
oh allright, thank you! And so, even after the first two encounters, if you don't claim any of the freighters, you can get the Venator one for free?
if it syour first ever freighter that is
I need to harvest a living pearl been to 3 systems with water
I have not tried that, I usually get a free freighter early on
The water would need to be deep enough to spawn under water features, the pearls should spawn in clams
Oh… idk if I have stuff for that umm back up to funny Death Star I go
all you need to open clams is a weapon module in your multitool
Even mining laser works if you feel lazy about switching lasers
On and on the topic of glyphs. Do i need to collect all glyphs 1 by 1 or does completing a main story quest just give them all to me in the end?
Oh ok ty
The latter (specifically the Artemis quest chain) just make sure you take your time doing the 16 warps
Hello, when i try to take a picture with the photomode with the coords the ss doesnt show the corrds at all, what am i doing wrong please?
i want to show the ss with the coords on it
You need to go into camera mode and then use windows' screenshot tool (print screen) to capture the image with the coords
thanks
Hi everyone,
Since yesterday, I've been experiencing a strange visual issue when planting flora. Whenever I try to plant any flora directly into the ground, I don't see the placement hologram/preview while positioning it. The plant only appears after I click LMB - meaning it's already planted, with no way to adjust its position or rotation beforehand.
All mods are disabled, and I've already verified the integrity of game files via Steam.
Interestingly, with the _Beyond Base Building mod installed, the preview displays correctly.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
me and 2 friends started an expedition to kill monstrosities. We killed hecka monstrosities, and only 1 of us got the mission completed somehow. Me and the other fella that it didn't finish, it says the infestation site is in a random point in space.
there is also another icon with the egg pointing to a planet, however, when i turn my ship towards there the egg symbol disappears
I just got the game. I was running a extremely relaxed infinite credits run just to understand how it works before I start playing my main run, and I wanted to get a squidship beca they were cool so I went to a system that spawns it, went to a trading station and set a save beacon on top of the roof so I could reload my save faster to get more ships to spawn. Now every time I join I'm stuck in the wall unable to move, I can't place anything down, I can't summon any creatures, I can't get a ship close enough, moving in a loading screen does not work, the photo mode which doesn't work, and it seems like Im completely screwed. Any tips?
load an earlier save (reload restore point)
Nah both my restore point land me I. The wall
Because of the save point
How do you know if ship stats are good?
There are a parentesis Next to the stat in which It says core
But i dont know what the range is
Is my entire world just finished???
There is a table outhere with random numers that has no correlation with actual numbers shown in the game
look among your cloud saves
I can only go to my restore point or auto save
so i looked up my issue and yeah the first expidition i did with my 2 friends got bugged and was unable to be completed 🙃
You would have to use a save editor to look at underlying stat values and then compare it against the stat ranges for that ship
Ah lol.there is no ingame ways?
Looking at the stats on the in-game screen isn't a very reliable method, simply because the final stat may also depend on the exact stats of the tech, which makes the determination very meesy
I haven't made any cloud saves?
Well but if the tech is the same
If the tech are the same, you also need to make sure they are installed in the very same way, which means the same SCs, same adjacencies, etc etc, which isn't always possible since the ships don't usually have the exact same SC layout, and even then you can only compare the two ships to see which has the higher stat, but it doesn't tell you how high those stats are relative to the possible stat values
Again, it's very messy
soooo i spent an hour and 45 min designing a bigger corvette this is my 2nd one but can big corvettes not land on certain landing pads orrrr? the ones i built at my base its the circular ones i tried summoning it and it says its unavaliable
Corvettes cant land on starship landing pads
Now matter how big or small
Ah okey, and about the core stats in paréntesis?

I have no idea how that actually correlates to anything, I just use save editor to check the values, I hardly ever examine it's in-game values
oof
Are there blueprints for freighters? like the exosuit and multool have?
i haven't been able to find anything on google. it just shows me the normal upgrade tree you can buy with modules
Do you have access to a save editor? If you do, edit yourself an item called "Orbital uplink", that will teleport you to the space station in that system and should get you out of a bind
Those are blueprints
Oki, and how can i check the stats in save editor? (And also while looking, ser how good they are)
Nah I'm on GeForce now
Sorry
Yeah, im wondering if there are external ones you can obtain from shops like the others?
Well you can just install the game for a moment
I use nmsse, when looking at my starship inventory, there are stats on the left side of the screen, you compare those against this
😭 I have no idea then, I don't use game streaming
Nmsse is a mod right?
No, it's an external program that reads and edits your save filrs
join another player?
What are the best ways to get player traffic for my systems and bases?
get your bases featured
Didn't think of that
anyone know why my mark of the denier is stuck on 95%
my bro plays on normal i play on permadeath how can i join him?
permadeath saves can't join other saves
is there a recipie for solanium from phosphorous?
and how long are the terminal quests (science, base and weapons) and what do they give?
There are I think 7 or 8 steps to each? They give unlocks that you otherwise need to spend salvaged data to unlock, e.g. the agriculture terminal gives recipes for some plants that you can harvest etc
how?? i have no friends
do I have to abandon my entire world
If you like your world enough you can return to the world with a new save if you know the portal coordinates of your world, which a new save can get you back, but you won't be able to interact with any bases you have have their in old saves
im acc so annoyed so my entire progress is gone cause i slipped through the floor
Can you try spamming the jetpack immediately on loading the save? Apparently that can sometimes prevent you from falling through the world.
yes ive tred
the save spawns me in the tower
can i join someones world
will that warp me out??
That should warp you out, you can then use the space station to teleport back to your original worlds
it doesnt let my friend join my world it just says joining for 5 minutes then it says it failed
any suggestions on why?
how do i join someones worl
the multiplayer tab is empty
can someone add me??
I think you add them and join them or sth
i need someone to add
If you wait till evening I can rescue you
thanks
