[latent goblet]

Whoever you sell em to is going to be REAL happy I'll tell you hwat.

[muted lion]

Why

[latent goblet]

What kind of documents are they? Lol

[muted lion]

Idk i just got a few

[indigo lion]

Woosh....

[latent goblet]

Pff- Lol You sir got yourself a alien adult entertainment collection

An ancient one at that

[muted lion]

Oh lol

[latent goblet]

Imagine if you could decrypt them? Lmfao "The Lusty Gek Maid"

BRUH

[analog scroll]

Let's stick to the channel topic, please

[bitter crypt]

I think we should keep conversation out of here

[latent goblet]

I'm sorry Lol I couldn't help myself I'll end that now

ANYWHO

Them Relics o 3 o Sell em or give em to the explorers guild?

[frail lance]

how to get staff parts

[latent goblet]

I found a few worth a pretty penny, but I also discovered the explorers guild

[analog scroll]

You have to have completed the Autophage mission line, then you do missions for them and purchase the parts from their terminals with void motes

[frail lance]

where is their teminal ?

[analog scroll]

In their camps

[latent goblet]

Should I sell the artifacts or give em to the explorers guild? o:

[urban briar]

Um....do freighters now despawn the moment you leave the system? Twice I've tp somewhere, to help someone, and couldn't tp back to my freighter. Even when I'm in the system I left it in.

[swift sand]

personally, especially if low valued ones, donate

[swift sand]

our freighter wont jump to another system on its own - should always be able to teleport to our freighter, at least from a planet base teleporter

[stuck berry]

Your freighter has a different position when joining another player via MP

[swift sand]

oh yeah

forgot

[urban briar]

@stuck berry@swift sand Thank you guys. That solves it.

[stuck berry]

it's one of the only times it can just not be in any system

even when dismissed, you still benefit from the matter beam I think and I think you can still teleport to it to make it reappear

[latent goblet]

Oh question

Is there a "Karma" system?

Can you go negative with species?

[swift sand]

you can, and the "karma" system isnt very deep or impactful: for example, at higher standing game will spawn npc pilots to help fight pirates that attacked you, or getting up to a 50% discount on upgrade module shops - but they're not going to attack you if your standing is negative, or refuse to sell you upgrade modules.

[latent goblet]

Oooo gotcha

[swift sand]

that said, there's an item called forged passport that can be used to reset negative standing to neutral in one click

[latent goblet]

It would be cool if they did refuse or attack you on sight

Like you become an infamous person to that species. they know you go around attack them indiscriminately

[summer lantern]

Do rocket launchers got upgrades, or have i been unlucky finding them?

[analog scroll]

There's only 1 upgrade, it's a blueprint in the Anomaly

[summer lantern]

Ah, so no purchaseable ones, then?

[swift sand]

always feel free to chat about ideas like these in #nms-the-future , and/or submit them to the devs via the zendesk link

[stuck berry]

there's also the corvette modules that act as upgrades, but that's it

[summer lantern]

Thanks, good to know to stop looking, at least

[frail lance]

how can i find their camp

[latent goblet]

Random question and if this is a spoiler don't tell me o 3 o Is the "Traveler" human?

[stuck berry]

Use your Polyphonic Core Multi-Tool tech you are given the blueprint of from the mission They Who Returned #nms-commands message

[summer lantern]

if you already got the scanner upgrade, a consistent way to find them is on exosuit upgrade drop pods

[stuck berry]

The Polyphonic Core allows you to directly locate Autophage Camps using just Atlantideum, so no need really

[summer lantern]

Are these all the possible upgrades for freighthers, btw?

[stuck berry]

Yes, mostly fleet upgrades but also a set of hyperdrive upgrades are available, similar to starships #nms-commands message

[west current]

What’s the best to get freighter upgrades

[summer lantern]

Yeah, those are all the jump range and star-color upgrades plus matterbeam and interstellar scanner. I assume there's nothing more to seek?

[stuck berry]

What you have are all of the blueprint technology, and none of the upgrade modules

If the screenshot is all of the technology that you have currently, then there's a lot more to seek as I described before

[summer lantern]

Ah, ok, hadn't quite understood it, sorry

[stuck berry]

For upgrade modules, #nms-commands message
For Salvaged Frigate Modules to unlock technology blueprints, #nms-questions message

[frail lance]

if i want a staff part they dont have should i got to another planet and try again ?

[stuck berry]

Any other Autophage Camp is enough to find a different selection of parts

[merry rover]

Is there a different way to get carbon? Having a hard time finding it on planets

[latent goblet]

If you buy a new multi-tool do you keep the old one like with starships?

Unless you trade it in that is

[stuck berry]

Mine any surface plant, or refine oxygen or other things into it

also mine the condensed carbon crystals on planets

[stuck berry]

Yes, and you can have up to 6 active Multi-Tools at any given time

you can also store an extra 18 Multi-Tools in your Multi-Tool Archive inventory, which is accessed using any Weapon Rack base building object

[latent goblet]

Switching the species for the avatar only really changes the resources needed, right?

Nothing else gameplay wise?

[outer trellis]

One question, what's the utility of the autophage planetary charts that you can buy in the autophage terminals? You can do the exact same with the scanner right?

The special scanner

[stuck berry]

It changes nothing at all gameplay wise, whatsoever.

Other than camera height, if that option is still enabled

[latent goblet]

Oh, I thought it changes the resources you need in terms of your exosuit or something o:

[stuck berry]

It does not

[latent goblet]

Or am i thinking of star ships...

I think I'm thinking of engines

[stuck berry]

They are for Autophage Settlements, not Autophage Camps

[outer trellis]

AH the charts that you buy

Are for settlements??

[stuck berry]

Yes, settlements themed around the Autophage

[jade flower]

Bruh the dreadnought spawned inside the spacestation

[indigo lion]

that looks freaking amazing. new goal... build a autophage city

[jade flower]

I cant break the engines without getting the sentinels on me

[stuck berry]

That can happen very rarely, yes

[jade flower]

Its practically fully inside

[stuck berry]

You might just wanna reload restore point and warp again

[jade flower]

Yea doing that

Fun tho

[humble pendant]

There’s no “legal” way to obtain the “legs” for the colosseus now that the expedition has passed, is there…

[indigo lion]

either play them offline or do the unlock all method. so no i dont think so if those are bad to you.

[humble pendant]

Well I don’t think they’re bad, I just don’t personally want to screw around with mods atm

So if there’s no unmodded way to do it then too bad for me I guess

[indigo lion]

they arent technically mods. your just loading an altered save offline like all it takes is notepad and copy paste to do the unlock all method.

load it offline save. go online. its over.

[humble pendant]

Hm. Maybe I’ll look it up later on. Thank you!

[lost torrent]

I was told someone here could tell me what glyphs each of these are

[latent goblet]

Curious not sure if this is a spoiler...are there main galaxies or worlds for the different species?

Example Humans it's Earth and our Solar System

[frail lance]

how much standing do i need to do autophage missions

[indigo lion]

Google "expedition unlock nms" should be the first one to come up its a reddit page.

[humble pendant]

Amazing thank you!

[stuck berry]

Lore wise, yeah kinda. Physically, no, they do not exist in this current universe

[vale dew]

hi, i have ship with alot of broke parts and i want to scrap it to get money how i can do that¿?

[stuck berry]

Interact with the Starship Outfitting Terminal found aboard Space Stations and select to salvage it for scrap worth
It may be advisable to repair it's Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine first, to make it able to fly and be summoned to the space station more easily

[frail lance]

fix thrust and pulse only and u can scrap

how much standing do i need to do autophage missions

[vale dew]

but i need units to scrap it?

[stuck berry]

Finish They Who Returned

[latent goblet]

Boooo. I want a Gek main world haha

[stuck berry]

No, scrapping it is free, and solely awards you in items that are worth it's value in Units, as well as some extra upgrade modules sometimes that can be sold for Nanites or installed

[frail lance]

both ?

[vale dew]

ty

[stuck berry]

Yes, you must complete both to finish They Who Returned

[latent goblet]

o:! Do the different species have religions in the lore?

[stuck berry]

kinda, mainly with the Vy'keen having two different ancient leaders they follow or whatever

[latent goblet]

But no Gek-based God or something?

The almighty Gek or something?

[stuck berry]

Other than the first spawn as a whole, not really

[latent goblet]

Meh....

Glory to the First Spawn

[hushed saffron]

Don't the korvax worship the atlas?

[stuck berry]

Oh yeah, that is true

[latent goblet]

Is there a way to speed up refiners/recyclers?

[hushed saffron]

Aren't the korvax also the only major race that has not been genocidal and evil at any point in time

[inland ermine]

Not really, you can build more and split the load

[stuck berry]

Other than using multiple different ones, or using larger ones with more efficient but more complicated recipes, no

[latent goblet]

Ehh....Didn't know there were larger ones but gotcha.

[amber pivot]

Best to ask in the lore channel tbh

[hushed saffron]

Fair lol

[urban arrow]

im inside my corvette but game thinks im still in space, how do i fix this?

[indigo lion]

happend to me with freighter one time. i just reloaded.

[stuck berry]

Enter it's seat, or go to space and recall it using the quick menu possibly

[inner raft]

How do I recolor my Sentinel starship?

[urban arrow]

i reloaded my save point and its fixed, but all my stuff from the destroyed freighter i had looted is gone 🥲

[noble gulch]

What does trhat red symbol in the bottom left mean/

[stuck berry]

This is not something that can be done

[stuck berry]

It means that your cargo inventory is full

[inner raft]

Pain.

I guess other people just get lucky with the ships they find

[indigo lion]

time to go kill some more lol.

[stuck berry]

Yes, or use coordinates documented by other players to find ones desireable to them

[humble pendant]

isn’t there a whole entire server dedicated to ship hunting?

[stuck berry]

Like a discord server? Not that I know of, unless you mean the NMSCE one I guess

!nmscelink

[tulip dust]

https://discord.com/invite/zn4Xc5d

[hushed saffron]

The creative and sharing hub might also work

[stuck berry]

kinda, that's more focused on finding things via save editing, like seeds

but it probably has channels for hunting them, like this server too

[jade flower]

Whats the vile blood thing oj planets

[ruby flame]

Hi ! So I am trying to make a +6564% Flora Analysis Rewards recipe , i gathered all the ingredients, both for Appalling Jam Sponge, or for Extra Fluffy Cream Cake, but they all give me the same s**t , 8 second jetpack overload , do you guys know anything about this ?

[stuck berry]

Planets with that will have the vile brood grub all over the place, which summon a vile brood queen when destroyed

they can also be collected to crush later

defeating vile brood queens has a 25% chance to grant a bug helmet

[proven frigate]

What does memory stat do? I'm looking at a Gek person I want to hire for squadron and his memory is non-existent

[swift sand]

that's just flavor text basically

[jade flower]

Ou

How hard is it to defeat?

[swift sand]

should be fairly easy, especially if paralysis mortar still stuns it

havent tried in a few weeks, but last i did it worked

[indigo lion]

is there a appearance guide? i wanna unlock all the options

[proven frigate]

I found an S class pilot, I want to hire them, I remember if I swap ship with them and hire they will use the ship I traded with, and now they turn from S class to B class ._.

._.

And they flew off with the ship ._.

[indigo lion]

it shouldve given you a pop up about the ship being named to the pilot basically hes way better at flying his own ship.

[swift sand]

see <#nms-questions message>

[proven frigate]

I see

:( welp, there goes my A class intercepter because I didn't know

[swift sand]

flew off from the station? hmm, immediately after you exchanged ships with him? did you run to them, were you standing next to their ship? they shouldnt have left iirc.

especially if you're playing solo

[indigo lion]

i can give you coords to one if you know how to use portals.

[frail lance]

why cant i use mining beam on my multitool

[swift sand]

fwiw, ship stats arent saved for squadron pilots, so class of the ship wont matter

[stuck berry]

Because it has the Runic Lens installed, which functions identically. Having both installed grants more stats for both of them

[proven frigate]

Not immedietly, it was like 2 minutes after trade and I went to talk to them

Sorry, what's "fwiw"?

[swift sand]

hmm yeah, try to do it faster next time, or stand next to their ship to prevent them from taking off

[swift sand]

for what it's worth

[vale dew]

yo what can i do if a find and empty ship in the middle of the space?

[indigo lion]

Stare at it and wish it was yours.

[stuck berry]

those are usually just for the beginning of missions

to introduce you to the update that added that type of ship

or it's just a derelict freighter, which mostly just exist

for those you can sometimes shoot cargo pods, which sometimes starts a pirate ambush but that's it

[vale dew]

ty

[swift sand]

if "abandoned vessel", a floating ship? that's beginning of under a rebel star quest - approach and answer comms, leave. solar sail ship type, like that one, are really common in outlaw systems, the system type that quest will intro you to

[vale dew]

yeah was that quest

[merry rover]

Hello

I’ve been inside and spoken to the big red thing upon instruction. The game told me to follow him or something but now when I’ve come out it says that?

[humble pendant]

Yeah you gotta do that a bunch more times now

[stuck berry]

that mission wants you to find another Atlas Interface

[merry rover]

Omds so now I’ve gotta get another 2 warp cells and go to the other one

[fast hearth]

I’m in the middle of an ocean where I can’t see land for literal miles, I can’t summon my freighter cuz the warp drive is insufficient and my ship can’t land on sea. What can I do 😭

My inventory is full as well

[merry rover]

Ur cooked bro

[stuck berry]

Go to your ship and take off

[fast hearth]

I can’t get to it

[stuck berry]

Where is it?

[fast hearth]

On top of the planet. I jumped off cuz there was nowhere to land

[merry rover]

Where’s uber when u need it👄👄

[fast hearth]

😭

[stuck berry]

Is it a corvette? Then just beam back up to it

[fast hearth]

I’m not seeing the icon to beam tho

[stuck berry]

a teleporter is created below it, this should float on top of the water

[fast hearth]

Yeah I’ve seen them before

[stuck berry]

unless the corvette is way too high

[fast hearth]

😭 bro

[stuck berry]

you could also just reload restore point in the options

or, build a new base and build a teleporter and power it

which then allows you to teleport to one of your bases or recently visited space stations

[fast hearth]

Yeah I’ll just reload

Ty

Is it possible for a planet to have no land?

[swift sand]

yeah, some waterworld biome planets wont have any land above water

[stuck berry]

those can only be found in purple star systems

[swift sand]

which are quest locked (type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands for more infos if needed)

[fast hearth]

So a planet in a green system must have land?

[stuck berry]

yes

[fast hearth]

Fair ty

[stuck berry]

all planets in yellow, red, green and blue systems have a considerable amount of land as their oceans are limited to 120u above their bottom-most point. Planets in purple systems have a 20% chance to have 450u high oceans, and waterworlds have 1,500u high oceans which nearly guarantees almost complete ocean coverage

[merry rover]

What’s a basalt planet ?

[swift sand]

lava biome planet

[merry rover]

Happy I didn’t fly there then

When I’m doing missions en route I’m always looking for nice planets to settle on

[swift sand]

it's fine 🙂 might be a pretty lava biome planet - imo, all biomes have their beauty.

[noble gulch]

What exactly am I giving up for these??

[urban arrow]

click on it

[amber pivot]

You choose

[noble gulch]

How do you know if a ship is a corvette or not

[deep epoch]

Hello

I have 2 Corvette, how can i destroy one of both ? ...

[stuck berry]

Other corvette modules

[stuck berry]

Aim your analysis visor at it, corvettes don't show anything when aimed at (and are many times larger than other types of starship)

[lone marlin]

why am i not getting anything from these pirate cargo pods??

[stuck berry]

other ships show their type/class

[stuck berry]

Exchange them for another lifeform's starship

[noble gulch]

Will making this trade transfer my inventory to the new ship?

[lone marlin]

no

[stuck berry]

No, unless you press transfer on the items individually in this menu first

[noble gulch]

So what happens to them

[stuck berry]

destruction, unless again you transfer them to the new ship via this menu manually

hover over them, there should be an option to send them to the new ship in that exact interface before exchanging

[stuck berry]

That isn't a pirate cargo pod, but maybe it's because your starship's cargo inventory is full?

[summer lantern]

Does the corvette medipod serve any function?

[stuck berry]

no

[summer lantern]

thanks

[lone marlin]

its not full, also its just a cargo in an outlaw system my bad

[merry rover]

What’s a barren planet

[lone marlin]

but its not giving anything

[lone marlin]

bro go to them and find out 😭 what do you think "barren" means

[stuck berry]

A biome name that barren/desert planets can have

[merry rover]

😭😭

[merry rover]

Fr that’s litch the game

[stuck berry]

Not sure why then, and you're fully destroying them?

[deft schooner]

how do.... how do I give a flying creature food....

[stuck berry]

Aim your Analysis Visor at it with the Creature Survey Mode selected

[bitter crypt]

you cannot, if it's a high-flier

[shell ridge]

There are low and high-flyers

[deft schooner]

how do you get it as a pet then

[stuck berry]

if it shows holo arena stats, just get close while still being on the ground

if it does not show holo arena stats, then can't feed or interact or adopt it at all without mods on PC

[lone marlin]

so odd.. i'll have to check another day i guess

[deft schooner]

is it per species or per animal

[stuck berry]

is what per species?

[deft schooner]

if it will have stats or not

[stuck berry]

Per type of creature

[jade flower]

anyone knows where i can get this as s tier

[stuck berry]

some types of creature are just prevented from being interacted with/adopted, usually due to them not having completed functionality

[jade flower]

glyphs and all

[deft schooner]

do you have an example of what it would look like

[stuck berry]

It's very unlikely that someone here has coordinates to that other player's sentinel ship, sentinel ships have the most variety of any ship

[stuck berry]

What what would look like?

[foggy inlet]

Can I give my star ship a paint job?

[deft schooner]

what a creature with stats on the scanner will look like in the UI

[leaden elm]

Why is it evry dread I fight is c class an take forever to spawn

[leaden elm]

Also I’m on creative is that bad or should I restart an actually try the game frl frl

[stuck berry]

Fully random each time they're encountered, this is normal if you're looking in outlaw systems

[lost torrent]

Jwo do I add more storage to the living ship?

[shell ridge]

Natural sss? wow! (so far the stongest I've found are sas and ass)

[foggy inlet]

You can do both

[leaden elm]

Mhm bet

Also can I take the birds in the sky

Tame*

[lone marlin]

can NOT adopt: birds and swarms.
CAN adopt: literally any other flying creature
just play the game dude and find out yourself 😭

[foggy inlet]

Lol

[deft schooner]

idk man, im staring at an animal I like and I wanted it

[fresh cloud]

Whats the biggest freighter i can find in a system?

[stuck berry]

By using Spawning Sacs, which are extremely rare items given from frigate expeditions with a living frigate in them #nms-commands message

[deft schooner]

also "find out yourself" is really something to say in the questions channel.

[modern pawn]

is Nepitzaspru a lush galaxy?

[stuck berry]

"Find in a system" as in just the system freighter designs, or any of them that exist?

[foggy inlet]

Gng I've been sitting in the same space station for abt an hour now waiting for a fighter and it's still not here

[stuck berry]

Yes.

[fresh cloud]

System freighters

[lost torrent]

Wow hmmmmm

Damn

It's nearly 1am I'm going to sleep

[fresh cloud]

I cant get a capital/pirate

[stuck berry]

No, you cannot. For future reference, aim your Analysis Visor in Creature Survey Mode to see if it can be adopted. If it shows holo arena stats, it can be adopted. If it lacks these stats, then it cannot.

[leaden elm]

Mhm ight

Best way to find dread naughts

[jade flower]

ive seen it twice, so its probably something already posted up

[shell ridge]

Try !faq-freighters in #nms-commands channel

[stuck berry]

Probably one of those that has these weird boxes, the venator wings and the maximum length possible. There's also these "cargo" freighters that can maybe be even longer at their maximums

[stuck berry]

Warp to many different outlaw systems after you both:
Own a freighter
and have encountered two freighter battles so far on the current save
you encounter your first freighter battle as a part of the story mission "Ghosts in the Machine"

[deep epoch]

Thx you, it's sad that it our only solution ><

[leaden elm]

I have did both but they were only c class so I left it

[fresh cloud]

How do those compare in size to the venator class freighter?

[stuck berry]

Peanuts

[fresh cloud]

Btw how do i tell if i completed "ghosts in the machine"?

[stuck berry]

If your primary mission with this symbol matches the names of any of the missions after it #nms-commands message

[leaden elm]

Do I gotta finish that to get the dread naughty

[stuck berry]

You have to reach it, which triggers your first ever freighter battle

[merry rover]

I just found a fucking planet with bubbles on it no fucking way

[stuck berry]

after that, the prerequisites that I mentioned are the only thing stopping you

[stuck berry]

Do you need any help relating to this?

[merry rover]

No wrong chat my bad

[leaden elm]

Mhm well I got evrything I just gotta keep warping well finna make a base best way to find paradise planets ?

[fresh cloud]

Is that the one where the ||simulation ends in 16 minutes||?

[stuck berry]

Just warp to many different yellow star systems, the freighter scanner room helps a lot since you can scan entire star systems at a time to see all of their planet's details

[leaden elm]

Wait what

Lost me

[stuck berry]

Paradise Planet/Moon is just a biome name override given to lush worlds that have both No Storms and Low Sentinel Activity

[leaden elm]

Scanner room

[stuck berry]

A room that can be built in your freighter's base area, it's blueprint is unlocked from the Upgrade Control console in the bridge

[fresh cloud]

Is that where all the Mizustunes come from?

[stuck berry]

What?

[fresh cloud]

The one where you gotta ||warn every traveler||

[stuck berry]

That's just ||a plot point, that I believe is revealed in a mission far after Ghosts in the Machine||

[stuck berry]

That's the second to last mission of the game. Also, please spoiler text that pertains to things like this

[leaden elm]

Oh so use my frother instead of the corvette like I got a c class one

[humble pendant]

Now that’s a very funny typo

[leaden elm]

Yea my bad phone dieing

[stuck berry]

Freighter class doesn't impact this, it just impacts warp range bonus and fleet coordination bonus, as well as supercharged slots present and max inventory upgrade limits

[fresh cloud]

So i just wait 3 hours and warp a bunch and then i can get a capital freighter?

[stuck berry]

it's by far the least impactful class related thing for something you own

[humble pendant]

Dw I got a good laugh out of it

[stuck berry]

You begin encountering capital freighters on your third freighter battle and onwards, so yes

the cooldown is 3 hours of unpaused gameplay and 5 warps
once both are met, your next warp triggers a battle

[torpid ocean]

I’m trying to find Artemis and I need a signal booster but I can’t find it in my build menu

[fresh cloud]

Rip... switch 2 has a tendency to crash

[stuck berry]

Are you standing too close to a corvette-class starship?

[torpid ocean]

Yeah

[stuck berry]

Then walk further away from it

the Signal Booster cannot be built aboard corvette-class starships

[torpid ocean]

K

[stuck berry]

for future reference, the blue build menu is the corvette interior editing menu, not the regular build menu present when on a planet or at a base

[leaden elm]

Btw I don’t see no room for the scanner

[stuck berry]

Do you have the blueprint for it unlocked?

If not, you must unlock it's blueprint from the Upgrade Control terminal in the bridge, using 1 Salvaged Frigate Module #nms-questions message

once it is unlocked, you can then build it

[leaden elm]

I figured it out

[karmic vector]

Okay I am REALLY confused. Plz help?

I have a base, in Euclid, in normal mode, which has 4 planets in it, the first of which is an ice planet.
If I go to the SAME glyphs in my hard mode save, I'm in a 6 planet system, the first of which is a dead planet.

Does this have somethign to do with shadow systems or womethign?

[stuck berry]

Is the system a purple star system?

[karmic vector]

no. emeril i think

[stuck berry]

Then it might just be a shadow star, yeah

one per region, can't be portaled to but can be reached via warp/teleport

[karmic vector]

so how do i get the RIGHT glyphs for it?

[stuck berry]

those are the right glyphs for it

[indigo lion]

i released the aquaris child but never got the cosmetic?

[karmic vector]

but.. i want the pet on the other save 😄

[stuck berry]

there aren't any glyphs in the game you can enter that will directly take you to that system, as the portal system believes it doesn't exist. At best, note a nearby system's coordinates, portal there, then warp to the desired system

[stuck berry]

You should get the cosmetic upon defeating the creature it summons

[karmic vector]

ah okay that shoudl worK. Try to search for the original name / system data on the warp map?

[stuck berry]

Pretty much

[foggy inlet]

Is the dread nought any good?

I'm thinking of taking it

[stuck berry]

It's another freighter

[indigo lion]

i did kill it tho..

[foggy inlet]

Should I take it?

[stuck berry]

Then you should have been given it. If you weren't either you already have it or some bug occurred

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[foggy inlet]

I don't have one

[stuck berry]

Taking it will replace your current freighter, so if you prefer how it looks over your current freighter then I'd say so

[foggy inlet]

Ok

Cause I dint have ine yet

[proven frigate]

What is the best way to farm freighter module?

upgrade thingy

[torpid ocean]

My friend duplicates it but I don’t think that’s allowed

[proven frigate]

To unlock more upgrade

:(

[stuck berry]

Salvaged Frigate Modules? #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

It is

that's fully up to the player who does it

[torpid ocean]

Oh?

[stuck berry]

it would be far easier to enable free purchases in the difficulty options and just claim all the blueprints for free

[torpid ocean]

I thought it would make the game less satisfying to grind in

[stuck berry]

that's up to you

[proven frigate]

Shooting civilians freighter seems easy but I don't want to lose my reputations :/ I worked hard to get this high

[indigo lion]

follow up question is there a guide for good foods and/or feeding living frigates?

[merry rover]

I’m near a planet that says says imminent core detonation is it possible to see the planet explode

[stuck berry]

Then do the other methods in the post I described #nms-questions message, like maxing out explorer and merchant guild rep and warping to their systems to collect free ones

[stuck berry]

Kinda, in this post #nms-commands message

[stuck berry]

No, that's just a biome name that many lava/volcanic worlds are given #nms-commands message

[indigo lion]

wb just normal foods...? ik they seem so give bonuses using the ingestor so i was also asking bout that

[stuck berry]

each one just gives a different randomization for it's stats, which is completely different to how foods work via regular consumption/nutrient ingestor

This image shows some useful ones I think https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nomanssky_gamepedia/images/4/42/66Flavours.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20221230155301&format=original

[indigo lion]

dude i dont know how to craft food! im asking for a food guide on how to make it. i cant feed it something i havent made yettt

[proven frigate]

What does this icon mean?

[indigo lion]

your deployed frigates are currently working in that system

[stuck berry]

Oh, just put stuff in the Nutrient Processor and find out usually, mainly putting in the food stuff you collect from planets or the plants like cactus flesh etc. Some places like https://app.nmsassistant.com/catalogue/Cooking show the items to combine to get certain things

[proven frigate]

Ah

[frozen nimbus]

Does anybody know why my base just keeps automatically filling in with the ground?

[shell ridge]

But they're randomized right? I've feed mine Salty Juice and it doesn't increase the Combat every time.

[shell ridge]

If you use a terrain manipulator at your base, it will fill-in over time. Best to only build in natural caves (which can also be problematic with game updates).

[stuck berry]

It should give the same randomization for that frigate upon feeding it the same food

[frozen nimbus]

What if I’m just placing glass corridors?

[indigo lion]

i just now tested this. it is random per vessel. but once it generates a value for a certain food it will always be that every time

[shell ridge]

Ah, so I'd have to map out the specific food for each of my whales individually.

[stuck berry]

I think, yeah

with all of the randomization being predetermined, like any other randomization in NMS

[shell ridge]

Anything built underground which you dug out will fill back in.

[indigo lion]

like i gave mine normal process meat and it bumped trade high i gave steamed veggies and it added combat while keeping the trade high.

[frozen nimbus]

That’s weird because one of my bases is the same but it doesn’t fill in

[tulip tulip]

Possible stupid question 😅 im about to complete the purge and decided to jump to the red galaxy since I wrapped to a featured base in the first lush galaxy and set up a little base there but now im totally lost on galaxy hopping now 😅 if thought those glyphs I seen were universal throughout all galaxy but apparently not so its not really possible to just say "I want to go to the 82nd galaxy" and just portal there? id have to portal to the core and do that 80 times?

[swift sand]

yeah, portals arent intergalactic - so you'd need to portal from the right galaxy already. remember that there's starcabs server too.

[summer lantern]

Does the gunner seat in the titan class cockpit do anything, or its just for the aesthetic?

[stuck berry]

aesthetic

it has no function

[summer lantern]

figures, thanks

[tranquil dawn]

Is this game going to update a lot more in the future because this is my new favorite game and I am very new and I want this game to be popular years for now

[merry rover]

I’ve gone to 3 different atlas now, am I gonna have to go to many more ?

[modern pawn]

dw even without any further updates theres a ton to do 🙂

[stuck berry]

we can only assume so

[stuck stone]

The terrain manipulator guide text in the bottom right of the screen says that bases save up to a certain amount of edits, which would imply it saves independently from the normal terrain edits. Whether this is true or not I don’t know.

[stuck berry]

The Atlas Path requires you to reach 11 different Atlas Interfaces I think, crafting the Atlas Seeds in order until you have the last one to give to it

you could do this later, and instead progress the main story

[merry rover]

Ahh so I’ve gotta craft those orb things he gives me before the last atlas?

[urban arrow]

what does it give? (if its an spoiler please dont tell me)

[merry rover]

Oh is this not the main story?

[tranquil dawn]

Yea I'm like 30 hours in to this game and I have completed like 2% of this game

[torpid ocean]

I might try out duplicating but I need a item thats worth a lot

[modern pawn]

does anyone have like a cheat sheet where i can like see which planet names fall under which category? im looking for mega exotic planets

[stuck berry]

||The Star Seed exosuit blueprint tech, which just gives +1 core health.|| Completing it is eventually required for later missions though too #nms-commands message

[stuck berry]

No, the Artemis Path is the main story #nms-commands message

[torpid ocean]

Does anyone know expensive items?

[merry rover]

What do I put in commands?

[stuck berry]

!faq-biomes in #nms-commands message. "Mega Exotic" is just a player-given name to red/green/blue worlds, which are only found in non-yellow star systems outside of empty and lush galaxies

[merry rover]

I see

Thanks

[stuck berry]

!faq-artemispath, or see the specific message I linked in my message, which is just me using that command

[stuck berry]

You could just set purchases to free in the difficulty options

[torpid ocean]

I can?…

O

[merry rover]

Where can I find dioxide

[stuck berry]

any frozen planet, in the form of mineral deposits

[indigo lion]

Icy planets

[merry rover]

Ahh ok

Lucky I have a base on one

[summer lantern]

alternatively, refine carbon and sodium nitrate

[silver bluff]

how do i find a waste processing plant on a planet and does every planet have one?

[summer lantern]

i believe the large exocraft can get a craftable radar upgrade for those

the collosus

[indigo lion]

wastes is combined with salvagable scrap so im told.

[outer trellis]

Does the space trading terminal you put on a base have the sell buy modificators of the space station or the ones of the a trading outpost/Colossal archives?

[torpid ocean]

I need to scan unique minerals to get my gek level up in order to talk to a gek for my Artemis mission, how do I find a planet with unique minerals

[stuck berry]

I think it's closer to the trade outpost ones, but not sure

[stuck berry]

the mission should point you to a specific planet, if not then just go to any planet and scan different types of rocks using your Analysis Visor

if you can't find any more new rock varieties, go to another planet

[torpid ocean]

Is says : the client has requested mineral scans from a specific planet consult the galaxy map while in space to locate the survey location each planet has its own geology track how many minerals you have discovered on each planet via the discovery page”

[stuck berry]

Then the specific system that has that planet should have that mission's icon on it on the galaxy map

[torpid ocean]

What does the mission icon look like?

[stuck berry]

the same icon that it has in the log

[tranquil dawn]

This keeps happening to me Dose anyone know if this a problem on my part or a problem with the game and if it is how do I fix it

[stuck berry]

If you are on console, possibly try clearing the console's cache #nms-questions message

[indigo lion]

GPU Has Exited the chat

[proven frigate]

Is blue star rare?

[stuck berry]

They are less common than yellow star systems, but each region has a bunch of them

I think red, green and blue star systems have about the same rarity as each other

[proven frigate]

Is this blue or purple?

[urban arrow]

yes

[indigo lion]

press r

[proven frigate]

:(

[stuck berry]

Blue

[indigo lion]

wait you cant rn dang

[stuck berry]

As it's stellar class begins with O

[proven frigate]

hmm

[urban arrow]

is tier 1 best or worst tier?}

[stuck berry]

They can if they select the star

[proven frigate]

Quartzite, I remember I need some in the future

[stuck berry]

It just indicates that the stellar metal is less valuable than the others

Copper is far less valuable/metal dense than Indium or Quartzite

Both Indium and Quartzite are identical in value and Chromatic Metal refining amounts

[torpid ocean]

The missions at the mission board to get my gek standing up by 2 are to hard

What are other ways

[stuck berry]

Give Gek Relics to gek lifeforms standing around at space stations or trade outposts

if you don't have any, buy them from Gek pilots landed at trade outposts or aboard freighters

[summer lantern]

you can also (correctly) practice your language skills

[urban arrow]

whats the correct way to do it? i thought it was just randomly choose learnt words

[summer lantern]

(i still dont know most of the times what makes a word the correct one, other that using context clues from their previous conversation message)

[fresh cloud]

Why cant i board the one with the big ring? Ive already tried 2

[stuck berry]

Each fleet only has one freighter that you can board

[fresh cloud]

Rip

[stuck berry]

it will be marked with the white "freighter" icon

[fresh cloud]

K

[stuck berry]

you can keep exploring that system to find other fleets

which will include one of the three system's freighters as it's "main" freighter that can be boarded

so if you see one you want that can't be boarded, keep looking in the same system

[fresh cloud]

Lol one i can board immediately dropped outa warp

[proven frigate]

Does all settlements start as C class?

And how many settlement can I have?

[stuck berry]

Up to 4

[proven frigate]

Can this be change? or they will always be like this

[stuck berry]

the bad ones will be replaced with good ones over time

[proven frigate]

Look at this settlement location I found

Very cool

Since I can have up to 4 I think I will take it

[stuck berry]

note that you can only have up to 1 settlement per planet as well

[proven frigate]

Oki, I planned to get one of each race settlements

[merry rover]

Where can I find deuterium

[stuck berry]

Must refine it using a 2-input refiner or greater, by combining Di-Hydrogen and Tritium or Silicate Powder

[merry rover]

I’ll never not have a question about this game btw

[tranquil umbra]

The content is so vast istg

I love it

endless fun

[zealous violet]

Do we know when the Switch 2 Offline patch is coming?

[stuck berry]

Offline patch?

[zealous violet]

The patch to fix the inability to play offline. It will keep trying to check servers and then send an annoying error message every 14 seconds or so.

[stuck berry]

I do not know, they never announce fixes before they are released, outside of those given to the Steam Experimental branch

[frozen nimbus]

How do i get Bobber-Gek for my fishing rod?

[stuck berry]

Sell 1,000,000 Units of fish cumulatively

[merry rover]

Because the game keeps nagging me to upgrade my pulse splitter part but can’t do so without deuterium, so I presume I’ve got to wait until I come across a 2 split refiner thing?

[frozen nimbus]

I’m not sure I understand

[stuck berry]

Kinda yeah. If you have a Freighter or a Corvette, you can build their own version of a large refiner aboard them which is a lot cheaper than the normal versions for planet bases

[merry rover]

I’ve some corvette parts. But I presume obtaining a corvette is for later on in the game?

[stuck berry]

Sell 1,000,000 Units of fish cumulatively to earn the Shrimp Tank helmet and Bobber-Gek bobber

[frozen nimbus]

Tysm

[indigo lion]

how does one catch EVERY legendary fish in this game. that seems literally impossible.

[stuck berry]

You can build them at any point in the game, you just have to get the parts for them. You could get them for free from Salvage Containers on worlds with Salvageable Scrap listed

[stuck berry]

Lots of patience, I think I'm only missing two or three

[merry rover]

Is it worth doing? What’s the difference between a corvette and star ship?

[indigo lion]

they mustve limited the number of fish species then

[stuck berry]

Corvette-class starships are much larger and can be walked inside of, furnished and can park in mid air to jump out of or beam down to planets. Other players can also hitch a ride on them with you and you can install a Mission Radar to do missions together. Most of the stuff you build on them becomes functional technology that grant real benefits for the first 3 of that type of thing that you build. Other than that, it's mostly just another type of starship.

[stuck berry]

This has always been the case, there are a finite amount of fish that they hand-created

the fish caught via fishing are not procedural

[proven frigate]

The first one is for/have chance for freighter technology unlock thingy correct?

[indigo lion]

i have a corvette with a fishing spot built in how does that work for spawning different fish? do i need to fly to these biomes first im guessing?

[stuck berry]

No, it's for an upgrade module for freighters, that increases it's fleet stats or hyperdrive stats

[proven frigate]

:/

[stuck berry]

I do not know, this is not intended to be possible.

It probably sources the chances from what planet you are currently on

[silver bluff]

why do waypoints keep disapearing like i cant look directly at them

[stuck berry]

This indeed seems to be fixed in Steam Experimental, hopefully arriving in 6.35

[indigo lion]

idk somehow they got a hottub from a monument and placed it in the corvette XD

[eager geyser]

Any quick and easy ways to find a volcanic planet?

[silver bluff]

i see the icon when i look to the left or right but not when i move towards where the icon is pointing

[stuck berry]

Just warp around. I think red systems might have them the most frequently, but only by a tiny bit

[stuck berry]

This is a bug that I've heard occur before

[foggy inlet]

How do I give my star ship a paint job

[indigo lion]

We can discover blueprints? 😮

[stuck berry]

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[stuck berry]

Can't, we can only paint ships that we build, and only while we're building them (besides corvettes which can be repainted whenever)

[foggy inlet]

Dangittt

[silver bluff]

nvm i was right next to it

[stuck berry]

Yes, there are a few derelict freighter base objects

[indigo lion]

are there objects for other stuff? now im invested cause i love to build so i needs all the parts i can find

[inland ermine]

Sadly not usable as containers and only decor

[indigo lion]

yeah i wish we had more options besides the big blocks

[stuck berry]

Kinda, there are some ruins base objects from ruined/relic worlds #nms-commands message, which are kinda rare outside of purple star systems #nms-commands message

[inland ermine]

Corvette storage containers differ based on which module type they're built in

But yeah, base storage seems lackluster

[stuck berry]

and there's an entire catalogue of things from the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly, as well as the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion's unique decorative offerings

[indigo lion]

yea im still learning that stuff slowly.

i got most of the significant stuff

[frozen nimbus]

Can I allow my friend to build on my freighter?

[stuck berry]

I don't believe so, it's weird for freighters

[alpine lark]

how do i disable my character from automatically avoiding obstacles

[stuck berry]

I don't recall that being something that occurs, or maybe it's something that I don't notice

[indigo lion]

guys i cant remember what do i do with the crew and captain logs from derelicts its been forever

[stuck berry]

Give them to either the Scrap Dealer or Guild Envoy to get different rewards

The Scrap Dealer gives Tainted Metal, the Guild Envoy gives Race Reputation

[indigo lion]

scrap dealer wants to give me 900 units...

[velvet hornet]

guys what would make this not work ? its just cosmetics i don;t see any stats when using one

[indigo lion]

yeah my scrap dealer aint scrap dealing apparently

[stuck berry]

That's not the way I meant
they are given a special interaction from the mission that should allow you to give them it

[proven frigate]

How do I reach purple stars? the hyperdrive engines I got only up to blue

[stuck berry]

See this post #nms-commands message

[wet sigil]

If that part is from the second page when you were making corvette, all of those modules are cosmetic only

[proven frigate]

oh...

[stuck berry]

Only four of them can be visually enabled at once, for performance reasons. Can only be surpassed with mods that increase these dev-set visual limits

[indigo lion]

yeah idk i have the items but neither of them have and interaction for me

[velvet hornet]

any wings or just these ? cause in total i only have 4 of these models

[wet sigil]

You may need to go to a non-pirate station to hand those in for tainted metal

[stuck berry]

Just those, but other wings count towards it for some reason, it works strangely

[wet sigil]

The grey market dealer on normal space stations are under the stairs leading to the guild envoy

[velvet hornet]

ohhh thats why well i have been using these too : maybe they are what cause the problem sigh

[indigo lion]

i need to leave a pirate system to sell them something they would then have to smuggle.. when i could just sell it directly to them at the outlaw station.... NMS i think your logic is messed up here XDD

[wet sigil]

That's cosmetic

[wet sigil]

Buggy implementation probably. Anyway try non-pirate station

[velvet hornet]

yes i know but my problem is why its not activated aka the effects when i surpass 4

[wet sigil]

Ah

[indigo lion]

whats this symbol for?

[stuck berry]

That you marked this system with a custom waypoint

[indigo lion]

hmmm never recall doing that XD idk why i would when my frieghter is parked there XD

[stuck berry]

I think the button to do that is middle click, so maybe it was accidental

[indigo lion]

Very possible.

[wanton delta]

Oh thats the stuff you can haul using the colossus to process for nanites

[knotty frigate]

is there no way to make a real sphere corvette in NMS?

[gaunt radish]

oh i see

[stuck berry]

There are lots of weird controls on the galaxy map, like pressing B to go to your first ever system, and pressing Tab to "scan" which does nothing in modern versions

[stuck berry]

Not without save editing/external tools to manipulate parts more precisely

[indigo lion]

i didnt even know that was a thing. like why would i wanna go to my wake up point

[knotty frigate]

🙁 my dream of building the Titan AE, ruined

[gaunt radish]

these ONLY give naniteS?

[indigo lion]

SSCRAP GIVES NANITES?!

[wanton delta]

And materials, depending on the type and when processed correctly

[stuck berry]

They also grant some colossus customization options for reaching certain cumulative amounts

[gaunt radish]

i think

im a bit confused

nvm

[stuck berry]

At best, there are curved parts to do stuff like this

[knotty frigate]

I would want that but like, gargantuan

like a planet-maker lol

[naive gate]

CAN I SELL MY FREIGHTER

[indigo lion]

NO.

[naive gate]

can i send units to other players

[analog garden]

BUT YOU CAN EXCHANGE IT

[merry rover]

Can I get wiring loom in the anomaly

[bitter crypt]

[bitter crypt]

No

There is no trade terminal there

[stuck berry]

No, but you can give items to other players that are worth units for them to sell

[merry rover]

Only space stations?

[stuck berry]

You could buy low class upgrades from Ares, then install and dismantle them

dismantling installed upgrades gives Wiring Loom

but the main source of them is buying them from the galactic trade terminal aboard space stations

[merry rover]

Thanks

[analog garden]

do i lose everything after the purge? someone told me i lose everything after i finish the quest

[bitter crypt]

No, you do not

[mossy cape]

Is it impossible to get god tier bonuses on ships (interceptors particularly) in low economy systems

[wet sigil]

All of your equipped tech breaks, so it's better to take as many upgrades off your exosuit, tool and ship as possible, but they won't be destroyed, at worst you just gotta repair them

[wet sigil]

It's not possible to get S ranks in T1 economies

[stuck berry]

The bonuses will always be within their set ranges at the very least, based on their class

you can always increase the class of an existing starship using tons of Nanites at the Starship Outfitting Terminal

[wet sigil]

On systems that cannot spawn a naturally occuring S rank, you must upgrade from an existing lower class ship, which should always end with the exact same stats after upgrade, but spawned naturally occuring s rank has slightly different stats to upgraded s rank, for whatever reason

[mossy cape]

I am not concerned about class. That can be upgraded. I was wondering about eventual bonuses on s class. Since every interceptor from a system has the same bonuses I was curious whether any system can get top rolls fors class or if economy influenced that

[analog garden]

could i just store the upgrades in my ship or something?

[wet sigil]

You can store them anywhere, they just need to be not installed

Even storing them in your exosuit is fine

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure how that operates, but as I said the range of those bonuses is determined by the individual ship's class. Ships that haven't had their class upgraded will have those ranges tend to lower or higher ends based on the local system economy tier that it was found in

but these are within the set ranges for that class, so you will never have a "bad" S-Class ship etc

unless you're really needing the +7% maneuverability, which you really don't

[stoic finch]

Can anyone give me 1 psychonic egg and 1 spawning sac will trade if needed

[stuck berry]

Try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[wet sigil]

There were discussions about outlaw systems s ranks have a lower stat average than non-outlaws, but I am not 100% sure if that's result of confirmation bias or hard coded. A few ship hunters swears by this though

I don't care too much, a few % is far less important than SC layout in most cases

[merry rover]

Any red system I warp to I can’t seem to find a planet that has cadmium. And I got the cadmium drive?

[mossy cape]

I suppose so but a class interceptors can vary on damage significantly. I have found some with only a cannon and 5 essentials to have anywhere from 286.5 up to 363.8. Shields vary less 188.9-204.9. Hyperdrive hardly varies and isn’t very important 631.1-661.0. Manoeuvrability has second most variation 434.5-499.5. All of these are based of the ships I have found. No idea how to calculate what percentage bonus these numbers correspond to.

[stuck berry]

All of them have either Cadmium or Activated Cadmium on their planets

[torpid ocean]

I’m starting the Apollo part of the Artemis mission and my current quest says to hire a base scientist and made me go to a Korvax system but I cant find any scientist to hire

[stuck berry]

See the first letter of a star's stellar class to know it's color more clearly

[stuck berry]

Follow the mission "Expanding the Base", it should point directly to where the NPC you must hire resides

[finite knot]

Is there a way to keep the game unpaused while I'm tabbed out?

[stuck berry]

Only via an extremely tiny mod on PC https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[wet sigil]

I wouldn't use the numbers on the ship as even a cursory indication of damage potential, I would probably rely on save editors that can read the exact stats of the ship to make that determination, but if that's not possible, make sure you are comparing the ships when they have the exact same weapons, upgrades, super charged slot usage and adjacency bonuses

[torpid ocean]

Nvm the scientist isn’t needed yet..I just warped across 2 solar systems because I accidentally got on a useless side wuest

I hate how many side missions there are

[mossy cape]

I am. Only cannon and 5 essentials and nothing on supercharge.

[merry rover]

It doesn’t say cadmium

[stuck berry]

The damage reading on the ship inventory menu is super wrong and really doesn't relate to actual effectiveness whatsoever. It increases as more weapons are installed, and ignores adjacency, unlike actual individual weapon DPS reading and physical damage output #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

That is a planet in a yellow star system.

Go to a red star system to find Cadmium #nms-questions message

[torpid ocean]

For the mission “expanding the base”, it says search an abandoned building for data, and then it says, find a terminal with the building. The overseer will be able to translate this into a new blueprint.

What does that mean

[stuck berry]

In the mission tooltip in the lower right, it should describe your current objective more precisely

[finite knot]

ah. I got stuck inside a settlement building being repaired

[analog garden]

does the picked galaxy matter in the quest?

[finite knot]

I'm just waiting it out atm

[stuck berry]

||At the end of the main story?|| No, you may pick whichever you wish

[wet sigil]

Not for the quest itself

Although, if you did that quest from Euclid, the lush galaxy gives you the biggest headstart in galaxy core warping since it's the furthest down the list from Euclid across all 4 choices

[analog garden]

I picked the ancestral galaxy

[torpid ocean]

This is all i get

[stuck berry]

Not that, the mission tooltip in the lower right that appears outside of menus

[merry rover]

Still no cadmium. This is most defo a red solar system

[stuck berry]

Yellow, not red

Again, check the stellar class initial letter. Red star systems begin with K and M

[merry rover]

Its litch red tho I’m bare confused

[stuck berry]

Not red, that's yellow

you most likely have some sort of filter on

like the race filter

switch between the galaxy map filters to go to "none"

this will give all stars their actual colors correlating to their stellar class

[merry rover]

It’s even worse with no filter

[stuck berry]

well with filters it changes their colors to point out specific data, like the race filter making vy'keen systems appear red as that's the color associated with them

[indigo lion]

alright wtf. ladders just stopped putting holes in the rooms. ive tried reloading n restarting but my ladders are just completely screwed.

[merry rover]

How the fuck am I mean to know what’s red🤣

[stuck berry]

By hovering over them and reading the first letter of their stellar class #nms-questions message

or, by just comparing them to nearby stars

red stars appear visibly larger than yellow ones on the galaxy map by a lot, they also are uncharted 95% of the time, which means no race icon or any other economy/conflict info

[analog garden]

im so stupid, i used the worst possible ship to do the purge with 🤦

[unborn brook]

Hey ya'll just re-arranging tech in my ship and got this message.

[bitter crypt]

happens to the best of us

[analog garden]

i used a damn interceptor and i have to get a whole ass new harmonic brain

[bitter crypt]

yeahhh

[hidden estuary]

Stupid question probably but if you look at my PFP you’d understand, do we know if bonsai trees exist in nms? :P

[stuck berry]

Just use repair kits instead

[bitter crypt]

they do not

[hidden estuary]

Noooooo 😭

Need to be added frfr

[analog garden]

how do i obtain a repair kit

[merry rover]

Do I still charge the hyperdrive when warping to red stars or do I charge something else

[stuck berry]

buy them from the contaband agent aboard outlaw stations

[hidden estuary]

Ye still hyperdrive :P

[merry rover]

Thanks

[stuck berry]

You must have your hyperdrive charged to warp to any star

[merry rover]

You have the patience of a saint honestly

[stuck berry]

the amount needed scales with the hyperdrive upgrades you have installed currently (more warp cell efficiency = less fuel required)

[hidden estuary]

The different warps are just upgrades not different drives :D

[merry rover]

Is there a way to increase jump range? I’m currently having to warp about 3 times to get to my destination

[wet sigil]

Warp drive upgrades also improves jump range

[stuck berry]

Yes, by installing hyperdrive upgrade modules

[hidden estuary]

Still my top 3 planets I’ve explored 🙃

[stuck berry]

Buy them from space station tech merchants

the class each one offers is different, higher class ones aren't expensive but just slightly pricey

[hidden estuary]

Chromatic with anomalous animals

[stuck berry]

you can install up to three upgrades at a time per type, not including blueprint tech

[hidden estuary]

You seem to know what your talking about I’m taking to become the 6ths race in appearance changing you need to buy the parts from the traders?

[stuck berry]

You must have at least one of the main head options unlocked from their terminals for the race in the Appearance Modifier to unlock

[hidden estuary]

Thought so I just unlocked them recently and so far the mission has been peak 🫠

[unborn brook]

Anyone know what this means ?

[hidden estuary]

Also these corvettes with the glowing panels where the hell do you get them? I’ve been mining salvaged scrap for hours and haven’t got a single glowing panel 🥲

[hidden estuary]

Spoilers ;D

[stuck berry]

Are you participating in Expedition 16: The Cursed currently?

[stuck berry]

Glowing panels?

[indigo lion]

what are the cuboids in building? so far ive only been using the prefab rooms and the structure peices

[hidden estuary]

Yeah I’ve seen these corvettes with like red LED striped panels

[unborn brook]

is cursed re-running ?

[stuck berry]

Cuboid Rooms just combine with each other to form larger spaces however big you wish for

[bitter crypt]

No

[unborn brook]

I've finished the main storyline ages ago ...

[stuck berry]

Oh, do you mean the Aeron modules?

[hidden estuary]

Yeah them!

Where the hell do you get them from 😭

[wet sigil]

Those are from expedition 19 I believe?

[stuck berry]

If you aren't redoing it via unofficial means, then idk. I think this is one of those messages from one of it's scripted things, either that or it's another player trolling somehow but you don't seem to be in an MP instance

[hidden estuary]

Nooooo so I can’t get them anymore!?

[stuck berry]

20

[stuck berry]

You could be given them by another player, but otherwise no

[wet sigil]

Not without mods or if someone gave them to you

[hidden estuary]

Fuhhhhhh 😭

They look so sleek

[tropic glen]

Best planet type to farm salvaged data?

[stuck berry]

really any inhabited planet that's decently flat

[hidden estuary]

I’ve found sciency systems are the best

I seem to find a lot there

[unborn brook]

yeah i'm not in MP, and not spoofing an expedition ... I was just sitting in space re-arranging a ship.

[tropic glen]

If I upgrade my warp thing can I jump farther ?

[hidden estuary]

Yeee

[stuck berry]

Your hyperdrive, yes. Hyperdrive upgrades grant increased warp range

[tropic glen]

Sweet I guess I know what I am doing tonight 🙂

[merry rover]

How do I de activate cadmium

[stuck berry]

Can't

[wet sigil]

You dont

[hidden estuary]

Sentinel ships are best for warp range in my opinion 🫠

[wet sigil]

It just lets you warp to red star systems

[merry rover]

What does?

[wet sigil]

Cadmium drive

[tropic glen]

I got a new one recently but I will keep an eye out

[merry rover]

I’ve got 346 activated cadmium but i need just normal cadmium

[hidden estuary]

The cadmium warp drive lets you warp to red systems

[merry rover]

I need to craft a soul engine

With cadmium

[wet sigil]

It doesn't do anything on its own, it merely enables you to warp to red systems

[stuck berry]

Then go to a non-extreme planet in a red star system

[merry rover]

Omg

[hidden estuary]

Got a S-tier with a warp range when maxed out of like 1000 light years 🫠

[merry rover]

So I need to go to a different place now to find a non activated cadmium?

[wet sigil]

A cadmium drive doesn't make stars you warp to become red start systems

[stuck berry]

A different planet

[wet sigil]

Yes, exactly the same as you would have done for copper

[merry rover]

Ahh gotcha

So what would activated cadmium do?

[hidden estuary]

Right back to the exploration grind I wanna reach 100 planets fully explored (all fauna found) :P

[stuck berry]

Refine into a bit more Chromatic Metal than Cadmium

[wet sigil]

It's just a different crafting material

[merry rover]

How do u fully explore planets? By doing absolutely everything on there?

[hidden estuary]

Well most just go by finding all fauna but some take it to the extreme 🫠

[wet sigil]

Sorta same difference between activated copper and copper, they are technically different materials so one cannot be used for the other

[merry rover]

Guys what’s the kindest thing to do☹️ ||i have developed a protection over Artemis I don’t know if ending the suffering is killing him||

[wet sigil]

That's about the most grey area of the game

[analog garden]

i just repaired the ship, im tired

[bitter crypt]

at least it's done!

[analog garden]

i got a bonus of a b class interceptor i will sell lol

[pine leaf]

I don’t think I can play NMS anymore

It keeps harassing me every few seconds saying it needs to connect to the internet when I play on the switch and am playing when waiting on stuff out and about and don’t ever have internet. After xeno arena it won’t stop bugging me every 20 seconds saying I need to connect to the internet. It never cared before

Thanks Sean

[stuck berry]

This bug will be fixed in 6.35 I believe, it's already fixed in Steam Experimental #nms-news-ticker message

even if the issue is going to be fixed, it's unfortunate that it made it to release versions

[pine leaf]

It was behind and now I prefer it that way

Man I was gonna ship hunt to try to get more slots on my vette :/

I want all hyperdrive modules and barely have any room rn

[indigo lion]

all? like as in all colors?

[frail turret]

Iirc you need only the best one, they don't offer anything other than access to red/blue/green systems...

[naive gate]

best way to get naniteS?

[solid oasis]

Runaway Mould farm with with like 20 refiners...fill all 20 with stacks of 9,999 Runaway Mould and run them at once. You'll make ~40k nanites per hour.

[wet sigil]

You can also scrap sentinel interceptors and use the funds to buy suspicious packages for X rank techs to sell for nanites

[pine leaf]

You still get a bonus from having them all on

[naive gate]

for more early game

[wet sigil]

Scrapping sentinels is doable early game, so is finding and hopping the pirate stations

[marsh zealot]

so ... i happened to find a Minor Settlement that had an Alien Multitool on it, but it was C-Class. I figured I'd restore from exiting my ship to see if i could get a better one... the game replaced it with a basic Rifle. did i hose myself?

[wet sigil]

It just a bit longer when it's early because of the lack of upgrades you'd likely have at this point, but even the first dozen or so pirate stations after the first couple of sentinel ships gives enough nanites to take the edge off a lot of the farm8ng

[naive gate]

how do i do that

also why do i onliy get abnadonded building from distress signal maps

[wet sigil]

Because that's one of several possibilities of distress beacon poi, in fact it's one of 4

[marsh zealot]

distress signal maps are randomized... you can use one, then if you don't get what you want, load your last restore point and try again. if there's a ship there you will find it eventually

[naive gate]

i did 6 only abandonnded bulidngs and an observatory

[wet sigil]

Abandoned building, crashed freighters, crashed starship with pilot, and crashed ship without pilot, only the last option gives a ship for you to scrap

[frail turret]

You do get a small bonus in "jump distance" for the freighter ones (something like 50ly or so each), but didn't know there is a similar bonus for starships ones...

[marsh zealot]

one time it took me 15 tries to get the ship

[wet sigil]

I suggest unlocking the minotaur exocraft and unlock and install it's radar tech, the distress scanner on it is free and infinite

[naive gate]

how do i do that

also do i have to go to every single distress sisgnal before doing the next one?

[worn verge]

Can anyone help me? I’m trying to do the thing where I can create my own system with gas giants, I saw people do it on instagram is that real or just mods?

[wet sigil]

You need to find a dissonant planet that is charted (i.e. must have a dominant race icon), and dissonant planet that does not have either gold or rusted metal as a resource, then you go down,find and kill dissonant resonators until you get an echo locator, use that to find a harmonic camp, once you get the camp, you can use the terminal to find a dissonant spike (which is a crashed interceptor). Make a base computer at the harmonic camp as it's infinitely reusable to find crash interceptors

Repair it, then scrap it

[summer lantern]

what happens if you take a black hole near the galaxy core?

[wet sigil]

It's "real" on that there is a quest that involves doing that. It's not "real" because you never make any stars in this game, the game just reveals the nearest purple star based on your choices, and the quest dialogue are purely flavor text

[worn verge]

How can I start the quest to get those systems with gas giants

[wet sigil]

#nms-commands message

[wet sigil]

No you can just brute force the scanner again and again until the one you want shows up

[naive gate]

should i change from the begginer ship? to a diffrent one

[wide mountain]

how can I get crawler brain for conflict scanner

[naive gate]

how

[wet sigil]

Up to you, the beginner ship is low key very good once you upgrade it to S class, but the same rules apply, get upgrades before considering upgrading the ship, an empty s rank will perform worse than c rank with upgrades

[wet sigil]

Reusing the scanner

[indigo lion]

can our pets grow up to lay eggs?

[naive gate]

i wantr to make it good at fighting

[wet sigil]

Pets can yield eggs but only if they are located in a compatible biome at the time of ask9ng

[indigo lion]

Followup to that how do i know how long they have left to grow?

[wet sigil]

The you'd want to focus on weapon upgrades first, the ship's rank stats are multiplicative with the ships techs, if you got no techs, it won't fight very good regardless of it being c or s class, I'd focus on that first personally

The starter ship is a fighter, which is strong at fighting already, you just gotta feed it the upgradrs

[wet sigil]

My bad, misread, the tooltip of the egg will indicate the incubating time remaining, I believe

[wide mountain]

How can I find crawler brain?

i meant walker

[wet sigil]

Fight sentinels on non-disonant planet until level 5, a big walker will spawn, kill it and interact with the brain part of the wreck, it should drop a brain.

Failing that, sometimes nexus missions can offer them as reward

[wet sigil]

Ah that, sorry, no idea, I never did that

[wide mountain]

im already struggling at level 3

[wet sigil]

Them you gotta put it off for the time being and focus on getting your MT weapon upgrades first

[wide mountain]

which weapon do you recommend

[wet sigil]

Or try your luck with anomaly missions

[wet sigil]

Even boltcaster is good enough after installing upgradrs

[wet sigil]

You may want to try save and reloading on different planets, then go back to that settlement to see if the alien MT will show up, but the rank will be the same, ranks are fixed per cabinet

[analog wasp]

Is it true that the galaxies differences are only on yellow Star systems?

[wet sigil]

Yes

[tulip hawk]

@analog scroll which quest did I need to do again to encounter a freighter rescue mission? I’ve done ghosts in the machine I’m on a leap in the dark and I can’t encounter a freighter rescue mission

[wet sigil]

You need to warp 5 times after, perhaps? And you also need to make the 5th warp not end up in a system that does not have a dominant race

[summer lantern]

is there a way to tell at a glance if a system has already been discovered?

[indigo lion]

you also need to play 3 hours

[torpid ocean]

My mission rn says hire a base scientist and then it says the overseer staff are available to hire in space stations, but when I go off of menu log and I look at the next step it says, hire a scientist for your base, learn how to construct a microprocessor, but then it says press - to change active mission but there’s no missions that help me build one

[tulip hawk]

I’ve done that but I can’t encounter one

[indigo lion]

can i put a claim at a waste plant and make and whole industrial complex here?

[wet sigil]

What is your space combat difficulty setting?

[tulip hawk]

Normal

Wait I think I turned it off after I got killed by pirates everytime I tried pulsing

[wet sigil]

You need to turn it back to normal to encounter freighter events

[tulip hawk]

Ah ok I’ll do that tysm

[tropic ginkgo]

it would be in your log, or just learn the recipe in the Anomaly

[simple harbor]

whenever i try launching the game it shuts down

on steam

is there any way i can like fix that lol. i had it uninstalled for months and its still happening

[bitter crypt]

You may be interested in this thread: https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/964865106334875698

[simple harbor]

tyy

[bitter crypt]

[torpid ocean]

Well I lie glitched the missions

It won’t let me hire a scientist and it won’t let me craft a microprocessor

[tropic ginkgo]

define "it won't let me"

[fierce vapor]

Hey. I accidentally sent a planet "report" and now all discoveries on this planet are blocked. What should I do?
Xbox.

[wet sigil]

Try save and reloading?

[fierce vapor]

It didn't help. I rebooted the save first, then closed it altogether and opened the game. Xbox.

[fierce vapor]

On the planetary system map, the planet has renamed itself and become non-clickable for viewing information.

[wanton night]

Hello, what are those and how to interact with them please?

[bitter crypt]

those are living frigates. I'm not sure what you came across here, unless you're flying by another player's freighter

You can recruit them, via another process, as frigates in your freighter fleet

[wanton night]

idk too and its super weird, i already have mine and in another system those spawn once i wrap to that system every time

[bitter crypt]

odd

[balmy adder]

seems to be a bug .. some players end up with space being filled with various versions of the pirate freighter

[wanton night]

i reloaded and they are gone, maybe yeah i was bugged

[balmy adder]

right .. a reload will fix it

[wet sigil]

No idea then, sorry

[fierce vapor]

and I just finished documenting the fauna... now I can't take the nanites.

[glacial stump]

Rather new to this game but I've been trying to find a specific living ship. I have the coordinates for it, already completed the first Starbirth quest and gotten my 1st ship so I'm trying to do the 2nd one. I have the 10k nanites ready. I have a fresh egg. I've been using the pulse jump for about 30 minutes and the egg refuses to trigger scene I need. Do I just give up and buy a new one? D:

Or try going to different stars and seeing if it'll hatch there then go back to the target system?

Sorry about the wall of text, I've tried reloading my game and nothing seems to work. Bout to just give up on the ship entirely.

[clear anvil]

when you are pulsing are you in a living ship? wiki claims it triggers faster when you are

[wet sigil]

And is the egg in your inventory?

[balmy adder]

maybe that has some more Ideas ?
#nms-questions message

[glacial stump]

Nah, I'll probably switch to the living ship and see if that helps I think. Yeah the egg is in my exosuit inventory. :c

[stuck berry]

Do you still have the parts of the previous living ship in your inventory, as well as the Dream Aerial? Any of those can conflict with the pulse event I think, due to weird stuff, so discarding them would be ideal as all of them are completely useless if you have obtained your first living ship and living frigate

but yeah, that post describes the process of seeking a specific living ship very closely

[glacial stump]

I think the only issue was when I got the fresh egg I still had the cracked egg in my ship inventory. I think that error just messed it all up and the fresh egg may be doomed? I discarded the cracked one once I realized but still haven't been able to hatch.

[stuck berry]

It wouldn't affect you after discarding it like that

[glacial stump]

Im gunna try switching to a living ship instead, and reload my game again

[wet sigil]

I have kept a cracked egg and that hasn't stopped me from claiming a second ship using a fresh egg

[glacial stump]

Egg's haunted

[wet sigil]

I would try pulsing in different systems, if it helps, activate an anomaly detector

[mossy cape]

I think you missed my point… twice. I only ever have the cannon on the ship- no other weapons so no adjacency, and I move it off supercharge if it happens to be on one.

[wanton night]

How do i get the main flamethrower weapon for the minotaur please?

[stuck berry]

From the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly

[wanton night]

oh, under the appearances or which one?

the liquidator right arm?

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is it

[wanton night]

thanks a lot

[dim otter]

Hi, I have a question: why are there so many Freighters that look like mine when I use warp drive? (It's like they're being cloned) ;-;

[wanton night]

this just happened with me now too, i think its a bug

[signal cedar]

know issue, should be fixed with next public patch

Fixed an issue that could cause a duplicate of the player's Freighter to appear after warping.

[glacial stump]

I might have found the reason why it doesn't work? ||I'm at the ending part of the Primary Missions for Artemis where you hit the reset button,|| perhaps that could be suppressing certain events for void eggs?

Hid it since it contain s main story info.

[stuck berry]

Bug, fixed in the next update

[tropic ginkgo]

main mission warp events should take priority

[dim otter]

ahh okay 💖

[glacial stump]

Yeh, I'll try completing it and see if it fixes.

[latent goblet]

If you reload at a distress beacon does it respawn a different crashed ship?

[wet sigil]

No, a crash site only spawns that crashed ship, except during the void egg quest, which the crashed ship gets replaced by a living ship

[inland ermine]

Is it possible to stop NMS from pausing every time I alttab out from it?

[stuck berry]

Only using a mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3308

[inland ermine]

Meh

[stuck berry]

a very very simple mod that just changes one debug variable

basically just a setting that has no UI attached to it

[inland ermine]

nvmind then

cannot mod the game

[latent goblet]

I enjoy how in the switch version going into the switch main menu still allows the recycler to continue lol

The distress beacons. I'm guessing checking the body gives you an exosuit/multi tool tech

[copper root]

If im right reactors are only usable on the authenticated ship building but not on corvettes

[latent goblet]

While checking data banks or the ship gives you starship tech

[stuck berry]

Yes, they are only used for Starship Fabricator usage, which isn't involved in the creation of corvette-class starships

[copper root]

So much for s class corvettes guess il just have to dedicate eliminating all sentients for an s class corvette

[wet sigil]

Corvettes have to be upgraded from C class, no way to avoid that unfortunately

[valid pebble]

So I have question, I hear a lot about 'blending' these days, and that it's bad for players. But what exactly does or is 'blending'?

[stuck berry]

Not sure, that isn't something related to any in-game mechanics whatsoever

it might be in reference to a plugin for the 3D modeling/animation program "Blender" that allows you to import the layout of your in-game bases and modify them, manipulating the objects with perfect precision to make very ornate and elaborate structures using vanilla objects and exporting it back to the game

many players have used this to create corvette-class starships that are normally impossible, using many thousands of parts to add details and shapes that can't be achieved without tools like these

many other players complain about these players, as bringing these ships into the space anomaly can result in immense performance drops and even crashes for players on lower end hardware, including previous gen consoles and Switch 2

It's usually heavily advised against bringing these kinds of corvettes to the space anomaly with multiplayer enabled due to this, but this is unfortunately ignored or not known about to some

In the future, Hello Games is most likely going to add a preventative measure to stop these overly/impossibly complex corvettes from appearing for other players in ungrouped multiplayer, there are already unused text strings that warn the player about this

[valid pebble]

yeah, I've seen post about people complaining that there games are crashing after seeing a 'blended' ship

or that there game files became corrupted after visiting a base that is build with 'blending'

[stuck berry]

yeah, that's not how it works but could be some wacky advanced bug

Nope looked in every single ship I got nothing like I never even had them even though I have a ship with the aeron parts

Nahh i definitely wouldn’t sold any of my parts im a greedy person:)

After that you are done

thanks 👍

[balmy badge]

Can ||living ships|| come in pink?

[lost torrent]

Can you do anything on your frigates or is being on them just a style thing?

[tropic ginkgo]

you'll have to land on them to repair them if they get damaged after expeditions

[wet sigil]

And you can get some daily loot off the trade frigates, but that's about it

[lost torrent]

They can be damaged?

Is there obvious signs ones been damaged?

[balmy badge]

The Captain screams at you

Like 24/7 till fixed

[lost torrent]

Ah, I've only ever done expeditions with 5star fleets so ig they a fine

[balmy badge]

Among other things like some visible damage

[lost torrent]

5star fleet rating

Not 5 star diffuculty

Still haven't gotten to that number yet

[balmy badge]

And a part of the fleet report telling you that they took damage

[lost torrent]

I skip those because there so long

[wet sigil]

Yes, on the frigate screen it will show it as damaged

If you send your fleet with 150 in all 4 stats I don't think they can ever be damaged, at least I haven't got a few months now

[lost torrent]

Well I'm now trying to roll the dice on getting the living frigate quests

[lost torrent]

Damn how do you get them that high, do they just increase every time there sent out?

[wet sigil]

With an S rank freighter, and 3 of each of the frigate expedition stats boosting tech upgrades, it's borderline trivial to do so

My frigates only need to supply 47 in a stat for the freighter to boost it to 150, and basically any frigate is guaranteed to have 10 at 55 expedition due to how the game assigns the points

So a fleet of 5 basically guarantees 150 in all 4 stats

If you don't have that yet, getting 150 in at least the stat that matches the type of your expedition is still the best play, but expect some rare cases of ship damage as each expedition still has the occasional off stat encounter that may cause you ship damage
