[stuck berry]

Abandoned Systems have an Abandoned Station, and many abandoned structures, including crashed starships, abandoned trade outposts, monoliths etc

Uncharted systems lack all structures except portals, and they also lack a space station entirely

[indigo lion]

gotcha so these worlds have literally never seen sentient life is what your saying

[stuck berry]

Basically

[simple epoch]

When I try to probe the brain for the interceptor, it doesn't show me anything

[stuck berry]

Are you on the step of the mission that tells you to probe the brain?

[simple epoch]

Am I doing something wrong?

There's a mission?

[stuck berry]

Check the Salvage Site mission that's tied to probing the brain

[simple epoch]

lol there it is

[stuck berry]

Yes, it's what triggers your ability to probe it

[simple epoch]

ty

[stuck berry]

it requires that you have:
Looted the items from the crashed ship, and
Have 3 Radiant Shards, 1 Inverted Mirror and a Hyaline Brain in your inventory

[simple epoch]

Yeah I have all of those items, I just forgot to start the quest I guess lol

[balmy badge]

Real tbh

[naive gate]

how can i get the drive for a red star system

[stuck berry]

Research it's blueprint at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, then install it for 250 Chromatic Metal and 3 Wiring Loom

[gaunt radish]

what ship weapon has the highest aoe to grind salvageable scrap?

[stuck berry]

IME the cyclotron ballista, but I haven't personally tested all of them

[unique hare]

Yeah the cyclotron ballista and using a corvette works really well. By "salvageable scrap," you mean the corvette parts or salvaged data?

[stuck berry]

Salvage Containers (Corvette Modules)

Salvaged Data is found on all inhabited worlds I believe, it's unrelated to Salvageable Scrap

[merry rover]

Can I undo my last build when making a corvette ?

I made a mistake whilst glitch building

[stuck berry]

if you didn't finalize the change, yes

[merry rover]

How

I’m on ps5

[stuck berry]

by just discarding the changes, by going to create a new corvette

[stuck berry]

all corvette mechanics are present on all platforms

[merry rover]

Wait so what do I do

I don’t wanna get rid of the whole thing

[stuck berry]

go to create a new corvette (given you're editing an existing corvette, and not already creating a new one already)

[merry rover]

I just want to undo the last thing I placed

[stuck berry]

oh, that isn't something we can do, at best you can simply delete the object you placed wrong

[merry rover]

Ahh

Ok ty

[unique hare]

Oh ok I thought these two are somewhat related and they can be found only on planets that says "salvageable scrap". Anyway, lately I went on a sidemission of my own to collect a couple hundred of salvaged data. The fastest for me was using the Minotaur exocraft. Maxed out tech with fuel tanks and recharge etc.. marking the salvaged data then jump like twice between each marker dig and pickup all inside one exocraft. This worked very well for me

[naive gate]

how to get indium cdrive

[torpid ocean]

Anomaly

[stuck berry]

Research it's blueprint at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, then install it for 250 Emeril and 5 Wiring Loom

[naive gate]

i need indium

emeril

i mean

[stuck berry]

Then get Emeril

[naive gate]

but how

[stuck berry]

Emeril is found on most worlds in Green star systems

as their stellar metal

[gaunt radish]

why

do my storage modules in my corvette

[naive gate]

i need indium drive to go into green star systems

[gaunt radish]

have like breakable things

that give me some random ass material

and destroys the mudle

module

[stuck berry]

The Emeril Drive also enables you to reach green star systems. You can research it's blueprint at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, then install it for 250 Cadmium and 4 Wiring Loom

[gaunt radish]

💀

[stuck berry]

This is somewhat of a bug

[naive gate]

how can i skip the time it takes for the living ship parts to mature

[stuck berry]

Only by using mods on PC

[naive gate]

what mods

[stuck berry]

This one https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2685

[naive gate]

where do i put the file

[stuck berry]

Put the extracted mod folder in GAMEDATA/MODS, like the description specifies

More specific mod installation and troubleshooting steps are detailed in this document http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550

[naive gate]

i dont have that folder

[stuck berry]

Then create it

the vanilla game install does not include the MODS folder

[vast smelt]

Hes hacking.

[naive gate]

here i make a folder called "MODS" ?

@stuck berry

[stuck berry]

Yes

[grim wyvern]

my settlement bugged and there's no construction site for overseer office can someone help?

[merry rover]

What is korvax casing

[grim wyvern]

it's a faction item

[stuck berry]

used to gift to Korvax for standing, offer to monoliths to locate a portal, etc

[merry rover]

Ahh ok

Guys I’m 2 warps away from 16

[stuck berry]

Many have reported this issue, I'm not sure of any workarounds currently

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

[grim wyvern]

guess i gotta wait

[merry rover]

I can’t find the place to learn the ingredients to craft multi tool blaster ammo

[clear anvil]

scatter blaster uses the same ammo as the regular boltcaster

craft from ferrite dust in inventory

[naive gate]

i added the mod and did everything else but theres still 17 hours left on my neural stem

[tropic ginkgo]

the description of the module also says it uses projectile ammunition (same as boltcaster)

[stuck berry]

Show a screenshot of the inside of your MODS folder

[stuck berry]

As the troubleshooting section of http://tinyurl.com/nmsmodding550 already specifies, take the folder inside of that and put it in GAMEDATA/MODS

[naive gate]

sorry mb

[stuck berry]

the game does not read mods that are an extra folder too deep

[merry rover]

Do I need to learn it?

[clear anvil]

nope

[stuck berry]

it should automatically be known by the time you install the Boltcaster/any other weapon for the first time

[clear anvil]

all you need is some ferrite dust and then you craft projectile ammunition in your inventory

[untold gate]

Im kinda stuck i dont see anything revolving aroubd microprocessors and there is no markers for the mission im doing

I dont know how and where to gire a fuckass scientist

[stuck berry]

Track the secondary mission "Scientific Research" I believe

[untold gate]

All of this for some stupid solar panels

[merry rover]

Will the two choices atlas gives me affect the rest of the story?

Depending on what I choose

@untold gate space stations

[stuck berry]

At the end of The Purge? No

[merry rover]

Ok

But I’ve got the two choices ||refuse the atlas or reset simulation||

[stuck berry]

They have a difference in gameplay effect, but nothing permanent

[merry rover]

What would ||refusing the atlas mean doing?||

Compared to the other choice

[stuck berry]

||Give you the choice of 4 galaxy types to be sent to, which then damages all currently installed exosuit, primary starship and multi-tool technology||

[merry rover]

I did the other

[cinder bison]

Random question but 1 of the systems im in was a community system with over 100 bases in this system.. it’s been about a year and im back and can only see 6 bases.. is it because they haven’t uploaded? I doubt 90+ people came and deleted Their bases

[stuck berry]

Then ||you are sent back to a regular planet, with nothing damaged and the story complete||

[stuck berry]

Not sure, if you saw more than a few bases at any point after that weekend passed then those bases were all uploaded. Either all of them were deleted by their owners, or some error is occuring in the discovery services

there's also a limit of how many can be uploaded per system, mainly a part limit of like 16k

[cinder bison]

Okay yea it’s been about a year so maybe people did come and delete..I’ve deleted a lot recently after hitting max build

[cinder bison]

wtf oh nah that’s definitely the problem then 😂

[stuck berry]

bases uploaded that make the total system's part count go above 16k will "un-upload" the oldest bases until within the limit again

[cinder bison]

Yea there’s def 16k thanks tht makes sense

[stuck berry]

each uploaded base is also individually capped at 3,000 parts

so maybe someone came a long and uploaded like 5 colossal bases

[cinder bison]

Yea I have a base here that a at 3k an so does my friend that’s 6k between 2/100+ people 😂

[cinder bison]

Yea me 😂

I didn’t know about the 16k thing until now tho

[stuck berry]

technically, I think deleting bases will make older uploaded bases come back, if it works like how I think it does

it probably just loads bases in the order of newest to oldest, and stops when the next base makes it exceed 16k

[cinder bison]

Oh wow thanks.. never knew any of that.. ima try to not use as much it’s just hard to stop building ya know

[balmy badge]

Spawning sacs are for living ship slot increases right?

[stuck berry]

yes, that is their purpose

they are weirdly rare from frigate expeditions that include at least one living frigate

[balmy badge]

What even are the odds to get 1?

I recently swapped out 16 frigates for living ones, so I have 20 living

[wet sigil]

IME: 9:1 eggs to sacs

[balmy badge]

And 15 expeditions net 19 eggs 0 sacs

[wet sigil]

well, more like 9:2 because each sac drop drops 2 sacs, so every 10 drops, you get 9 eggs and 2 sacs

Probably even more disproportionate as I am only counting the eggs I have on hand, and I know I opened quite a few to gear up my first living ship, but I don't remember ever using a single sac

[naive gate]

how can i find gek and vykreen and thsoe types of relics

[balmy badge]

So it is likely... Uhh 1 sac per like many eggs

[autumn talon]

i am trying to finalise a corvette build and its saying all moduals must be connected and they all are what can i do?

[wet sigil]

Go to Gek/Vykeen systems and find any trading outpost or colossal archive on planets, the travelling merchants that go there often have their respective relics for sale

[autumn talon]

after deleting all the parts and making a new one its still saying all moduals must be connected

[wet sigil]

I got nothing on that, sorry ><

[merry rover]

Omg so I just completed the story?

I wish I chose the other one

Was there gonna be more story if I didn’t choose the one I chose

[wet sigil]

Nope, the story would end anyway

[stuck berry]

Well, there's still more story regardless, somewhat unrelated to the main story #nms-commands message

[merry rover]

Oh ok

So basically I would’ve had the same outcome

[stuck berry]

Yes, just ||ending up in a different galaxy with all your stuff damaged instead||

[merry rover]

||My stuff is damaged||

[stuck berry]

||Well all of your stuff isn't supposed to be damaged upon choosing to refuse, at least from what I remember||

[merry rover]

||I didn’t choose to refuse I reset the simulation||

[stuck berry]

||Oh, then yeah, your stuff gets damaged and you're sent to the galaxy that you chose||

[merry rover]

Ah ok

So I’m in a different galaxy now?

[stuck berry]

Yes, ||based on the hologram that you chose||

[merry rover]

How do I get to different galaxies

[stuck berry]

Warping into the center of one galaxy takes you to the next galaxy

You can also join another player via multiplayer who's in a different galaxy and it will take you to that one

[merry rover]

And are certain galaxies better for finding a good place to have a base than others ?

[stuck berry]

or teleport to a base via the Space Anomaly that's in a different galaxy, including the always-present Featured Bases that are in some different galaxies

[stuck berry]

They are separated into four types: Normal, Lush, Empty and Harsh
Normal galaxies have identical biome probabilities to Euclid Galaxy.
Lush galaxies have more lush worlds and less dead worlds in their yellow systems.
Empty galaxies have more dead and weird worlds, as well as less lush worlds in their yellow systems.
Harsh galaxies have more extreme storms and aggressive sentinels in all of their star systems
In the mission "The Purge" the green hologram leads to a Lush Galaxy, the red hologram leads to a Harsh Galaxy, the blue hologram leads to an Empty Galaxy and the teal hologram leads to a Normal Galaxy.
At the end of The Purge, ||You get to choose between these four if you chose to reset the simulation. The red hologram is a harsh galaxy, the green hologram is a lush galaxy, the blue hologram is an empty galaxy and the teal hologram is a normal galaxy.||

[gray lodge]

So what do you do once you warp to the center of a galaxy to travel to a new one?

[stuck berry]

You are placed on a random planet in that galaxy about 700,000 LY away from the center of it's core, with all of your exosuit, starship and multi-tool technology damaged

If entering a lush galaxy, you are placed on a lush world. If entering an empty galaxy, you are placed on a dead world. If entering a harsh galaxy, you are placed on an extreme weather world

If entering a normal galaxy, you are placed on a scorched, frozen, toxic or radioactive world that is not extreme, similar to how the game began

[gray lodge]

Ooooh so that's the reset thing?

[naive gate]

what technology can i give to my lviing ship? also do the living ships i get are random or are they predetermined?

[gray lodge]

You need psychonic eggs

[stuck berry]

Living ships are all random, determined by the crash site you got it from, and you get living ship technology from either special space events while piloting them, or from living frigate expeditions #nms-commands message

[gray lodge]

They come from pulsing and finding anomalies or living frigstes

[naive gate]

ok thx

[gray lodge]

What platform you on?

[naive gate]

pc

[indigo lion]

do pirate freighters not drop anything anymore? ive destroyed 5 in a row and none of them gave me anything.

[stuck berry]

They drop nothing upon being destroyed after already surrendering

this has been the case since they were added I believe, despite the mission text saying otherwise

[indigo lion]

how tf am i supposed to kill them before they surrender tho

[stuck berry]

if you want them to drop a freighter upgrade module, you must destroy them without allowing them to surrender

[indigo lion]

ive tried

[stuck berry]

aka, don't destroy their warp drives

[indigo lion]

but. wont they just escape...

[stuck berry]

it's not difficult at all if you know about their fuel rods

destroy their fuel rods

[naive gate]

how can i expand companioon slots?

[indigo lion]

i do

[gray lodge]

Take out their thrusters so they can't escape. Then take out shields and blow them up

This works every time for me

[stuck berry]

This will then not grant a freighter upgrade module

[stuck berry]

Then do it after already dealing 25% of it's health

[indigo lion]

yeah thaat what ive been trying and not matter what is surrenders before it dies

[stuck berry]

upgraded weapons are not even necessary, the default Radiant Pillar BC1 can do this

remember to cycle power to weapons when more damage is needed

[gray lodge]

Those modules are easier found from derilect freighters

[stuck berry]

but those are not always S-Class, unless you identify a system that has S-Class upgrades

freighter upgrade modules dropped from pirate dreadnoughts, as well as civilian freighters in non-outlaw systems, are always S-Class

[indigo lion]

yup i already do this

[merry rover]

Damm ur good at flying

[naive gate]

how to get mor,e companion slots?

[stuck berry]

Purchase them in the Companion Register menu (Quick Menu > Companions > Companion Register)

Each one costs an escalating amount of nanites, up to 30 slots

[bitter sable]

Is there a channel where i can post videos i've made for No man's sky?

i think i found it

[stuck berry]

#nms-media for short clips uploaded to discord, #content-creator-corner for links to longer videos (requires permission, check the pins in it)

[merry rover]

How do I get the staff

[stuck berry]

You create your first staff throughout the mission "They Who Returned" that comes after the main story has been completed #nms-commands message

After the mission is completed, you can then create custom staffs using a variety of parts bought from terminals at the camps you're introduced to

[wide onyx]

I jumped so many times and I didn't get any pirate dreadnaught

How do I do it effectively

??

[stuck berry]

Have you encountered them before?

[wide onyx]

Yeah a few times

[stuck berry]

Then just warp to different outlaw systems

[wide onyx]

I did many times

[stuck berry]

20% of them will always have a battle, given Options > Difficulty > Space Combat =/= None

[indigo lion]

what i did was as soon as i got a encounter i just warped to every outlaw system i could knowingthe first one to pop would be a respawn system

[wide onyx]

True if

Ig

[wide onyx]

I never touched the settings ever

[stuck berry]

Then it's just unluckyness

[wide onyx]

So ik that isnt the problem

[wide onyx]

Ig so ill continue trying later

And is it js me or are all the S class ships in an outlaw systems always solar ships?

I've seen a bunch of solar S classes

[stuck berry]

Just coincidence, as solar ships are much more common in outlaw systems

replacing 85% of their shuttles and 10% of their fighters/haulers/explorers

[wide onyx]

Alr thanks

[stuck berry]

combined with the high S-Class chance

[wide onyx]

And what type systems should I go to for a good S class

[wide onyx]

Thankss

How do yk if a system is wealthy?

The three stars in the economy scanner?

[indigo lion]

yep

[wide onyx]

Aight I'll camp those for a fighter s class

Ty

[stuck berry]

Also, Vy'keen systems have more fighter designs

[wide onyx]

Good to know, a wealthy vykeen system

[empty hound]

Ive just got back and wanted to play the game again on my old save file so I got the game on steam. Is there any way to get back my old Xbox save? I no longer own it through Microsoft and dont have game pass anymore.

[stuck berry]

You would need to be able to open the Xbox version of the game to upload the save via cross-save https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

[wide onyx]

I js realized my old save was 10 hours and in half a week it's 24 hrs now...

[empty hound]

No other way? I had probably 1000 hours on it

[stuck berry]

No other way

at best, you could get some cheap 1 month deal for gamepass or something like that and end it immediately

[empty hound]

I’ll look into it Ty for the help

[stuck berry]

or, the saves could still be on your machine

(genuinely no idea if that's the case)

[empty hound]

Doesnt appear so I’ve been through every file now

[stuck berry]

if they are, there's a save editor that transfers things between Xbox PC and Steam https://github.com/zencq/NomNom

[merry rover]

Where do I sell stuff for nanites in the nexus ?

[stuck berry]

at Iteration: Ares I believe

[wide onyx]

Is going to a outlaw system, getting suspicious good packets (the ones that give upgrade modules) and selling the contents for nanites a good method?

[indigo lion]

its the method rlly

[stuck berry]

Yes, it's one of the methods described in !faq-nanites #nms-commands message

[merry rover]

And how do I know what’s good to sell for nanites and what’s not ?

[stuck berry]

By if you don't want/need it

Illegal ("suspicious") and sentinel upgrades are good options to sell, due to their vastly more random stats, weighted towards the lower end

[wide onyx]

Yea 3 packets gave me 1.5k nanites really fast so im gonna keep doing thatt

[merry rover]

And what are gravatino balls good for?

[merry rover]

Oh fr what did u have to do to get the packets? What packets?

[stuck berry]

Selling, and a few specific blueprints

Ignore the second one, it's from a previous expedition

[merry rover]

Is pirate transponders an example

[stuck berry]

Of something to sell for units? I guess, you can also donate those to Mercenary Guild Envoys for reputation

[merry rover]

No, nanites

[stuck berry]

We can only sell technology for nanites, mainly upgrade modules

there aren't any non-upgrade/technology items that can be sold for nanites

[wide onyx]

In outlaw systems, the vendor there

At the space station

[stuck berry]

This lifeform aboard Outlaw Stations

They sell Suspicious Packet (Tech) for Units

you may buy and open these to get illegal upgrade modules. Selling these to any technology merchant will give many hundreds of Nanites

[wide onyx]

It's pretty cheap pp right?

I forgot the price

[stuck berry]

There's a technology merchant in the tent to the right, the Salvage Dealer

[merry rover]

Transmitting my milestone data doesn’t affect anything does it ?

[stuck berry]

To Iteration: Ares? It awards Nanites, that is all

based on how many Journey Milestones you have reached since your last time doing so with them

[autumn talon]

can you go zero gravity in corvettes?

[stuck berry]

Not normally

the corvette's internalized gravity is supposed to override any sort of planetary gravity or lack thereof

[wide onyx]

How do I report a bug/glitch?

Because I found a big one

[stuck berry]

[wide onyx]

A duping glitch

[stuck berry]

There's also a short list of fixes that are coming in the next patch https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/797842031905968545/ in case it's one of them

[wide onyx]

Ill check that too

Js making sure because its a low effort inf dupe glitch 👎

[naive gate]

when switchinug freigthers do i keep my frigates?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you do

You keep everything basically, except the core cargo and tech inventories, which you can just package away beforehand #nms-questions message

[naive gate]

how do i edit how my starship's booster particle looks?

[stuck berry]

By installing the special technology blueprints that affect that, which you can purchase for Quicksilver from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion

They have these icons

[naive gate]

ok lthanks

[merry rover]

Do I need to open the suspicious packets to sell in the nexus

[stuck berry]

If you wish to sell the technology inside of them for nanites, yes

there is no Unit vendor aboard the Space Anomaly

[merry rover]

I’m selling them to ares

[stuck berry]

Selling them to any technology vendor will work

[merry rover]

Ok thanks

Ares works yeah

[stuck berry]

there are four of them aboard regular space stations, and one of them aboard outlaw stations

[merry rover]

Can I sell goods?

[stuck berry]

Goods as in...?

[trail belfry]

what do i do in the egg sequencer?

[wide onyx]

@merry rover if your gonna go to a outlaw system then smuggle illegal goods free cash while you're at it

[stuck berry]

Place an egg into the main slot, and place resources in the slots that you wish to make do stuff. See the pins in #nms-fauna for more details about how the slots work and what resources do what

[merry rover]

Defence chit, first spawn relics

[stuck berry]

You may sell those for Units, like any other regular item

the latter is contraband, meaning it sells for more in non-outlaw systems

[swift sand]

@merry rover and defence chit can be used after you get scanned and halted by pirates when pulsing around; it'll spawn sentinels to help you vs pirates

[wide onyx]

Like a 150+ value increase for free cash everytime I go by an outlaw system

Hi what is the best way to find Walker Brain?

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds
@woven atlas

<:info:850810445577453658> Where to get Walker Brain

There's multiple Walker Brain sources:

• Destroy Sentinel Walker: interact with its head first, then destroy it. see example »
• Suspicious Packets (Goods), that can be purchased from any outlaw station contraband agent NPC.
• As a mission reward.

Outlaw systems can be found using an Economy Scanner. Type !faq-systemscanners in #bot-spam for more info.

@woven atlas see post above from gunter

[humble pendant]

I’m looking for methane, so I did the whole “find that substance” thing in the catalog, I’m in a purple system where it tells me a planet rich in methane was detected but there’s only 3, one with no atmosphere, a dissonant frozen planet that gives me radon and a paradise planet that gives me nitrogen, I’m so confused

[hushed cave]

at what point do yall think i should just go off and do my own thing? how long does the artemis questline really take?

[humble pendant]

Just be careful to not mistakenly shoot the sentinels or you’ll never see the end of it (totally not speaking from experience)

[small vessel]

Is there a website with cool Corvettes I can copy with step by step tutorial?

[west apex]

can I get sentinal ships more than once by doing the dissonent system thing?

[merry rover]

How do I get to a good galaxy where I can find a home

[wet sigil]

You can basically do your own thing but there will be some content that will be locked behind those quests and your mobility throughout the galaxy may be limited on account of not being able to use portals due to lack of glyphs, but there isn't any immdiate hurdles to explore your immediate vicinity

[wet sigil]

Choose a galaxy, either galactic core warp there or use starcabs to reach it if it is too far down the list

[stuck berry]

"Dissonant system thing"?

Each dissonant world has hundreds of sentinel ship crash sites, you can locate an endless amount of them by reusing a Harmonic Camp if you marked it with a Save Beacon or claimed Base Computer

[west apex]

yk you find a dissonant system, attack some sentinals and stuff beat them get some ai thing then get the ship

[hushed cave]

sounds good, thanks. i heard purple systems are only explorable after the questline? dont know too much about that

[stuck berry]

You may repeat that endlessly, yes

[west apex]

is it worth doing that to grind money?

[stuck berry]

it would be far more efficient to use a Harmonic Camp instead

[west apex]

Or can I even sell those ships

[west apex]

can you explain what that is please

[wet sigil]

Yes, you need to complete both of the primary quest lines and a follow up quest that follows from one of the two primaries.

[stuck berry]

you can salvage them at any Starship Outfitting Terminal

[west apex]

yeah ok nice

[stuck berry]

Destroy Dissonance Resonators until you get an Echo Locator, use that Echo Locator to locate a Harmonic Camp

You can walk up to Dissonance Resonators to see what they contain, only 20% of them contain Echo Locators

[wet sigil]

Sentinel ships scrap the most out of all the crashed ships, as they don't have broken slots that decreases their value, unlike say crashed ships

[west apex]

how can I find those dissonance resonators

[stuck berry]

Aim your Analysis Visor while on any dissonant world

there will almost always be one within range, unless the planet is extremely mountainous

[merry rover]

What is galactic core warp

[stuck berry]

When you warp into the core of one galaxy to get to the next one in line

[west apex]

alr

what does the dissonant planets say on their info again??

[tulip dust]

@west apex
-# to view info below, enable embeds

How to find Dissonance

Look for Dissonant systems in the galaxy map. In these systems, you'll often find at least one planet that reads Dissonance Detected in their resource list.

Notes:

• All dissonant planets can be used to farm related resources e.g. radiant shards, echo locator
• Not all dissonant systems and/or planets can spawn harmonic camps (image ). Consuming a Carrier AI Fragment should lead you to a suitable location that can spawn harmonic camps.

Reach near the center of a galaxy, follow the Galactic Core path to it's end, when the line goes from your current system directly to the core, select the current system and cursor towards the core to then select it and warp there (requires 100% hyperdrive fuel) #nms-commands message

Doing this in a galaxy will take you to the one after it, 700,000 LY away from it's center, placing you on a planet with all of your installed Exosuit, primary Starship and Multi-Tool technology damaged

[hushed cave]

whats the best way to get solar mirrors early game? can i get it by trading with other ship captains at space stations?

[stuck berry]

Buy it's blueprint from the Synthesis Laboratory aboard the Space Anomaly

[hushed cave]

alright thank you 🙏

[merry rover]

How do u leave the workshop to I don’t want to apply my changes

[stuck berry]

Back out of it normally basically

[west apex]

I already have a freighter and I just saved another, should I request payment or should I take this one too?

[merry rover]

That’s what it says

[stuck berry]

Can only have 1 freighter at any given time, so request payment unless you want this freighter to replace your current one

[stuck berry]

Select "Store design for later"

[merry rover]

I normally request payment if my freighter I have is better

[west apex]

ok this one is worth much more then mine but I dont want to build all of the interior again, should I still get money?

because this is a c tier as well Ill get a s tier in the future

[stuck berry]

Your base transfers, given the option with a popup #nms-questions message

[west apex]

so what do you suggest?

[stuck berry]

if you like the look of this freighter more than your previous one, claim and exchange your previous one for it

[west apex]

ok

[stuck berry]

basically everything transfers except core cargo and tech, but both of those can be packaged elsewhere temporarily beforehand

[west apex]

but I have to pay 26m

[swift sand]

yes, only until you take ownership of a freighter will rescued freighters from pirates will be offered for free. that said, pirate freighters are always free

[west apex]

hmm

whats this thing

[stuck berry]

A Boundary Failure

it has a terminal to it's right side there that details weird things

They're only found on Weird and Infested worlds I believe, maybe some others

[west apex]

what should I do with it

[stuck berry]

Interact with it's terminal, then move along

[west apex]

ok

also

Im in a dissonant planet, its not ext mountains and I landed to different spots of it like 5 times and I still dont see that thing you said in my analysis visor

[stuck berry]

Possibly try switching between modes and trying again, there are a few bugs related to the Analysis Visor icons at the moment

[west apex]

ok

it worked I found one

ty

[merry rover]

I’m at the galactic core now what do I do to get to a different galaxy? Warp to a diff place outside the core?

[stuck berry]

Are you at the final destination on the Galactic Core path?

[merry rover]

Yes

[stuck berry]

Then select your current system, make sure the Galactic Core objective is tracked, move the cursor towards the core, then select it and warp

Like this video

[clear anvil]

make sure that warp drive is completely fuelled

[merry rover]

It won’t let me move onto a new path

[swift sand]

when you want to warp to a diff system, just use free explore mode

[merry rover]

Nah I wanna go to a new galaxy

[swift sand]

then just use controls to move "yourself" closer to a target system to the point you can highlight it

[swift sand]

you're at 700K+ LY away from the core

[merry rover]

😂

I figured it out

I was at the wrong system

Wait nah I haven’t

It won’t let me get out of this galaxy

Do I need an indium drive ?

[stuck berry]

What does it say?

[merry rover]

Or do I nothing

I’m at the edge of my galaxy

Do I need to go into free look

[swift sand]

post another screenshot of the galaxy map, please

[swift sand]

for the future, in this scenario, do landscape orientation instead of portrait, btw

[stuck berry]

In the top left of this image, it says you are 700,000 LY away from the center of the galaxy

[swift sand]

you're still too far away from the core, see image?

[merry rover]

Oh yeah

Wait so I need to go to the galactic core to leave this galaxy ?

[swift sand]

that's one of the ways, yes

[merry rover]

I don’t have a trail to follow

[swift sand]

you dont actually need to follow galactic core pathline to the letter. you can just look around for the brightest, biggest star in the galaxy map, shining away - that's the core. that's what you'd be going towards

that said, there's much faster ways to get to the core regions besides warping e.g. portaling

[wet sigil]

warping to the core via the trail is one of the slower ways to get to the galactic core, if you find a portal, you can cheat it by using 12 symbols, that will bring you basically within several thousand LY from the core

[merry rover]

Ahh ok

Thanks guys

🙂

I’m becoming less nooby as the days go by

[west apex]

ok what are these codes and stuff and how do I put them as input?

[merry rover]

Quick maths

[west apex]

yeah but what do I do?

[stuck berry]

They are addition/subtraction math problems. Solve them, then input the answers in the Input Glyphs interface

[swift sand]

visual support

[west apex]

the order?

[west apex]

yeah ty lol

[swift sand]

order of input doesnt matter

[west apex]

ok got it

tysm yall

bro..

[swift sand]

yep, that happens

unlucky

[west apex]

so what am I suppose to do?

whats a dissonance spike, its in that input thing

[swift sand]

well, for example, you could locate a spike to get a sentinel ship location

[stuck berry]

A sentinel ship crash site

[west apex]

ok good

[stuck berry]

note that this part can be reused endlessly for functionally endless crash site locations

[west apex]

I hope the ship isn't bad as the multitool is

[west apex]

and should I?

[stuck berry]

so before you leave the camp, you can mark the camp using a Save Beacon or claimed Base Computer

[merry rover]

One more question

[west apex]

ok ty for telling that, I almost left

[stuck berry]

If you want Units, this is an extremely quick way to get lots

[merry rover]

How the fuck do I find a portal😂

[west apex]

ok ty

[stuck berry]

!faq-portal @merry rover

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

[west apex]

how do we get a harmonic brain?

[stuck berry]

Follow the Salvage Site mission in your log

[west apex]

yeah got it ty

[tropic ginkgo]

ships of pirates don't pull from the system pool of ships that land on the station or outposts, correct? I wonder if they can be obtained in any way, sometimes they have cool designs

[stuck berry]

They do pull from the system's pool

all flying pirate/civilian ships you see are also ships that you will see land at trade outposts/the space station in that system

[west apex]

holly I should switch right?

[stuck berry]

Claim, it's free

[west apex]

yeah I know Im asking if I use it as my main ship

[stuck berry]

could salvage the previous one, once you transfer the technology

that's up to you, it looks excellent

[west apex]

Ima build my own ship I think

[merry rover]

So I found a portal. I answered one of the questions and I shot myself in the chest I didn’t wanna give away my multi tool to myself?

Do I need to answer correctly

To use the portal

[stuck berry]

That was a Monolith

[merry rover]

Oh

[stuck berry]

answering the Monolith correctly allows you to interact again to locate a Portal

if you answered incorrectly, you could Reload Restore Point

[merry rover]

Can portals be used more than once

[stuck berry]

Yes, they may be used endlessly

it's advised to place and claim a Base Computer at a portal in each galaxy that you reach

[merry rover]

It won’t let me place a base computer

Is it bc my corvette is near

[stuck berry]

That is the corvette interior editor

walk farther away from your corvette, then open the build menu

[merry rover]

I haven’t put in my portal code yet

[wide onyx]

Claim it, transfer your modules and scrap your B class ship for tons of extra cash

Do I js do the storyline for a portal?

[stuck berry]

Completing the main story is the easiest way to unlock all 16 Portal Glyphs #nms-commands message

and you'll want to eventually do it anyways for content that comes after the main story #nms-commands message

Also, it's advised to not use the portals you locate during the story after they're used, they can be buggy

[merry rover]

What do I do

[stuck berry]

Activate the Portal

then enter the desired glyph sequence

[west apex]

lets say I want to build this ship, what should I do?

[stuck berry]

Go to the system that has that ship, buy it three times, scrap it three times for all of those parts, then build it

[west apex]

same exact shio?

ship*

[stuck berry]

you'd also want a reactor of the desired class, you can buy those from the starship tech merchant aboard any space station

[stuck berry]

Yes, or at least one with the parts you want

[west apex]

yeah I already have the reactor

[west apex]

I need 3 of each part?

[stuck berry]

you can mix and match any three different parts of the same ship type

[stuck berry]

one of each part is needed

to get this, you will need three ships to salvage one part from each of them of your choosing

[hollow bluff]

What are all the types of galaxies? I know of normal, harsh and lush ones

[west apex]

ok for example I need this engine, should I buy this?

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message

[vernal nacelle]

You need cockpit, wings/sails/ whatever you need for that class, and also thrusters + reactor core

[stuck berry]

Yes, then perform salvage analysis at a starship outfitting terminal, select Extract Customisation Module, then select Engine

[west apex]

ok got it ty

[worldly bloom]

For the free freighter event thing, is it 3 hours of being in game or if i left and went to sleep when i join back can i do the freighter event again

[stuck berry]

The time part of the cooldown is 3 hours of unpaused gameplay time. Time spent in any menus, teleporting, or outside of the save/game doesn't count #nms-questions message

This assumes you've reached the point in Ghosts in the Machine that triggers your first freighter battle, which is required for following ones to occur after the 3 hour + 5 warp cooldown

[west apex]

I am looking for a needle cockpit, can those ships come to any space station or do I have to be in a specific one

[stuck berry]

Each system has between 3-7 fighter designs based on if it's a vy'keen system or not, even less if it's an outlaw system. It's not too likely that the system you're currently in has one of it's fighter designs as one with that part

[west apex]

so I should keep rotating between space stations?

[worldly bloom]

How would i guarentee a dreadnought spawn, is there a way or do is it completely luck

[stuck berry]

Different systems, yes. Trade Outposts spawn them quicker, you can instantly locate one using the quick menu option unlocked from having an economy scanner installed

[west apex]

is vy'keen better or worse then other btw

[stuck berry]

Better

[west apex]

whats trade outpost

[stuck berry]

The structures on planets where ships land and a trade terminal resides

[west apex]

ah ok

Ill stick with space stations

[stuck berry]

Do you qualify for their events to spawn yet? (Do you both own a freighter, and have encountered at least two freighter battles so far?) #nms-questions message

If you do, you could make use of the 20% of Outlaw Systems that have a property that makes them always have a Pirate Dreadnought Event occur when warped to via starship

[worldly bloom]

Yes bro i had a dreadnought soawn just before but glitched and lost it lol

[worldly bloom]

How can u tell?

[stuck berry]

By warping to them

if an event occurs every time you warp to them, it's one of them

so basically, warp to many different outlaw systems until an event happens

[swift valley]

but as pets evolve, do they also change in appearance?

[stuck berry]

No

[swift valley]

Oh

[worldly bloom]

So theres no 3 hour wait?

[stuck berry]

With the 20% of outlaw systems and 10% of high conflict systems, yes

it skips the cooldown fully, both parts of it

-# (only if you qualify for Pirate Dreadnought Events to occur in the first place of course)

[worldly bloom]

Currently in a system that spawned a dreadnought before i got off so ill check in morning if it is one

[merry rover]

Why can’t I gettorhecore

Get to the core

[worldly bloom]

Does it also skip the 5 warps?

[stuck berry]

Select the current system, have the galactic center objective tracked, then move your cursor towards the objective, then hold the warp button to select it

you will need 100% hyperdrive fuel

[worldly bloom]

Is there a benefit of having the dreadnought apart from cargo and the looks

[stuck berry]

It's another freighter

all freighters function the same

Pirate Dreadnoughts have a special hangar and bridge variant, that's the biggest difference

[merry rover]

It’s not working

[stuck berry]

Back out of the galaxy map, then go back into it

then move the left analogue stick towards the galactic core, and press the select button

[swift valley]

Where are the arenas to play against animals?

[merry rover]

Do I need to go there

[stuck berry]

Aboard space stations, at trade outposts and colossal archives, as well as aboard the space anomaly. An introductory mission for this system should begin when you speak to Iteration: Oceanus for the first time

[stuck berry]

That's the mission icon for The Atlas Path/Atlas Eternal

[merry rover]

What mission do I need to select to go to it

Sorry I’m a bit confused

[stuck berry]

Galactic Core

you switch galaxy map objectives with left and right on the D-Pad I believe

[merry rover]

So I don’t select a mission at all

[stuck berry]

No, as that would be Free Explore

[merry rover]

On the log?

[stuck berry]

No, on the Galaxy Map

in the top middle area of the screen

[warped glade]

Are there paradise planets, or any non-extreme planets with rain that isn't boiling? It's tiring, and I wish there were worlds with standard, refreshing storms. I want to hear the thunder in the distance as I chill in my base or explore

[stuck berry]

There are indeed worlds with non-stormy rain, many variants of lush and swamp worlds passively are just slightly rainy and wet, I believe many toxic worlds are like this too. Unfortunately, there aren't any true storms that aren't hazardous in some way, besides "bubble lush" worlds which when extreme have some harmless storms, as well as some dissonant worlds having gravitational storms instead of regular ones I think. I doubt either of those involve lightning, and I don't recall lightning ever making noise in the distance, but not fully sure

[deep pier]

just gave my s class multitool to my weapons specialist

oops

thankfully it was just a bummy pistol but still annoyed

@minor haven see post above from gunter

[copper root]

Quick question can a freighter encounter a freighter in distress or a dreadnaught while warping if i cant warp with my starship in exp 8

[fallow maple]

anyone else ever encountered this problem (the weirdly pixilated screen) and anyone got a fix?

[swift sand]

nope, freighter rescue battles dont trigger when freighter warping

[swift sand]

are you on console? ps5 perhaps?

[fallow maple]

xbox

[copper root]

Dang would really be great to have some loot looting the pirates

[swift sand]

i've seen another player on ps5 reporting similar issue (<#nms-questions message>), no fix was found after quite a bit of troubleshooting. i'm convinced it's a current bug.

please raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[fallow maple]

alr cool will do not sure what triggers it tho it just happens occassionally and then disappears after a while

[final spoke]

I got an Atlantid type/coordinate that I want to go for, but every time I look more into how to get a specific Atlantid I get more confused. Something about the number of reloads changes what they look like? Like I get reloading, but I don't understand what this means.

[minor haven]

Thanks

[swift sand]

there's some weirdness going on with discordant interfaces; i've seen another player reporting this a while back. they tried reloading like 10 times on the same planet, and eventually the discordant interface showed a different tool than the first 10 reloads or something like that. personally, i think that's some kind of bug, and shouldnt be relied upon. plenty of finds posted on the usual places that doesnt require reloading an absurd amount of times for a behavior that's most likely a bug - you disable mp, you get there, you do any required steps (e.g. to change active MT pool, to save+reload on a specific planet first), you get the tool

[final spoke]

Fair, then. So, that, and is there any way-- current glitch or otherwise-- to upgrade a living ship's inventory?

[swift sand]

we can upgrade LS inventory, tech or cargo, but we require a specific item called spawning sac, which can only drop from fleet expeditions with at least 1 living frigate assigned to it

[junior wadi]

is it possible to build a xeno arena in ur corvette with mods?

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-modding

[prisma tinsel]

OK, so you are able to the problem is is after you place it you can’t interact with the holograph table. The only way you can is if you place something small like a cup or something on top of the table and then you can access it but once you back out of it, you have to place another cup on top of it for it to activate again

[fallen pewter]

Some alien dude named Death ripped me off! Took all my stuff from my ship.

[swift sand]

this would be a convo for modding, since we cant build the arena on vanilla

[swift sand]

"took all the stuff from your ship"? how so? wdym?

[prisma tinsel]

I responded to the question 🤷🏻‍♂️

[analog scroll]

They died 😂

[fallen pewter]

I didn’t do what he asked and now my inventory is gone. WTH

[fallen pewter]

Oh

[swift sand]

you could have pinged them in #nms-modding with that answer, since you know, mods, not vanilla, go in #nms-modding

lets move on

[analog scroll]

As long as you're not on survival, do find your grave marker and get it back (as long as you don't die again)

[stable gate]

Is it possible to play no mans sky vr with these specs? Lets say i lower the graphics to 0

[fallen pewter]

Okay thank you.

[floral rock]

Hello there! So whats the most important items to always carry with you in inventory? Cuz my inventory is almost full even with 50 slots, and i have no idea whats the best to always keep with me

[forest night]

so how do I trade for advanced corvette parts? what do I need to do?

[tropic ginkgo]

open the corvette terminal at the same spot where you build corvettes, follow the menus

[edgy mortar]

why doe my ribs show up as dioxite and make me able to glitch infinite ribs??

[wise reef]

The basic materials for recharging your equipment (unless playing on relaxed or creative). Oxygen, Sodium, Carbon, etc. Also the fuel for your starship or the materials to make more

[floral rock]

I thought so! Thanks!

[wise reef]

You can get rid of most manufactured goods (and components once you learn the crafting recipes for them)

Finally, prioritize expanding your exosuit inventory ASAP. You can buy one upgrade per system at the space station, and another at the anomaly if you summon it to that system.

[untold gate]

Is it true you can make your own ships ?

[edgy mortar]

Yes

[wise reef]

I would also suggest buying the exosuit upgrade charts from the chart vendor for fast upgrades.

[untold gate]

Damn

Thats so fucking cool

Also i heard about solar ships what are they

[wise reef]

The old method was to take 4 parts from one of the original classes of ships to assemble a custom one. Now, they added Corvettes, which are a larger class of ship, and you put them together like LEGO out of different pieces.

[untold gate]

Dayum

[wise reef]

just a certain style of ship with "sails". Pertty meh tbh but some people liek them

[untold gate]

I gotta maie myself a corvette

[untold gate]

Why are they meh?

[wet star]

They're incredible for fuel economy, but middling at most other things.

[untold gate]

Ah ok

Alsp on my frigate i saw some spaces for several ships why on earth would i need several ships

[wise reef]

There's nothing particularly notable about them, and I think they look bad compared to others when on the ground. If you fly in 3rd person they look kinda cool, but other than that they just are

[wet star]

1. You meant to say freighter
2. People love to start collections.

Also some of those pads are reserved for NPC visitors

[untold gate]

Lmao like rich poeple collecting cars

[untold gate]

Yeah but i mean the smaller one like i have my freighter and then i can teleport to my frigate

[wet star]

Oh. Probably to accommodate multiple players trying to dock at the same place

Sorry, I'm used to people mixing the two.

[wise reef]

You only NEED one starship, but sometimes it's nice to try something new. Or, you can customize another ship for a specific purpose. Once expanded, they make good storage units, too

[untold gate]

Its alr

[untold gate]

Oh ok i see

[untold gate]

Aight

[wise reef]

Frigates are sent on missions. Up to 5 missions per day, up to 5 Frigates per misison. You have 30 slots so you have enough ships of the right type to perform well.

And the docking space on Freighters is because NPC ships land there too. Plus it acts liek a base and most players have multiple starships

[calm wasp]

Hello,

Where i can find Dinosaurs on planet? Which Systems has highler probably?

[gray shoal]

Its just rng

[untold gate]

Guys is there any lore behind the sentinals?

[viscid plinth]

Hello,

Is there another way to increase inventory and ship space without paying increasingly more at space stations each time?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

[analog scroll]

Storage augmentation items from missions, guild emissaries, or buying and scrapping other ships

[little moon]

You can also get them from freighter expeditions

[analog scroll]

I include those when I say missions

[copper root]

or a more longer way but gives you quite alot

doing exp offline

[analog scroll]

Not every expedition gives them

[copper root]

yeah but its still quite a bunch

better than nothing

otherwise nav data to drop pods

[viscid plinth]

Thanks a lot guys

[copper root]

they usually have 20-25 inventory increase pieces

both drop from exo and ships

ships do require you to have a better class in order to increase it on the tech side

still if you want a cheaper approach on the ship side and if you have a corvette

add cargo storage inside it

[supple goblet]

Hi, im trying to build a sky base, may i ask, is there a height limit?

[analog scroll]

There is, yes. It varies from planet to planet and it's the max height from the bedrock layer, not necessarily the surface

[supple goblet]

Is there any way to know my coordinate on the planet surface?

[analog scroll]

Use your analysis visor. You can see the lat/long coordinates there

[supple goblet]

Ty :>

[analog scroll]

Also in the cockpit of your ship when in atmosphere and in the cockpit of an exocraft (in 1st person)

[supple goblet]

Oh, i never notice that, ty XD

[void crest]

is there a way to teleport to a random universe for exploring?

[wet sigil]

No, given that there is only 1 universe.

If you mean galaxies, still no, since galaxy warping is entirely sequential

[void crest]

what do you mean with sequential?

[gray shoal]

Galaxies are in fixed order

[wet sigil]

If you warp through the first galaxy's core (the only way to move between galaxies), you are guarenteed to end up in second galaxy, so on and so forth

[void crest]

okay so travelling trough galaxy's is only possible in just order of whats reachable for the hyperdrive?

[wet sigil]

No, hyperdrive doesn't play into reaching other galaxies

well, not beyond that it needs to be functional, and you need to have it fully fueled up

[gray shoal]

Except the moment when u need it charged 100% for core jump

[untold gate]

What on earth is a salvaged frigate module

[void crest]

whats the fastest way? or maybe most effiecent way?

since im not that far in the game but prefer just exploring instead of following the story

[drifting onyx]

when is the next expedition?
nextpedition if you will

[untold gate]

Ok

[wet sigil]

fastest way to warp to the next galaxy? You need to have at least glyph unlocked, and you need to find a portal, which case you need to use the portal to input 12 times, which will warp you within about 6000LY of the core, make your way to the core and warp through it

Just for the record, there is a section of exploration that is hard locked behind quests, so you may want to do them regardless

[untold gate]

But like frigate fuel is the thing i need so i can travel eith my freighter correct?

[tropic ginkgo]

even faster than warping: find a featured base in the Anomaly teleporter list that takes you to the galaxy you want

[gray shoal]

Its for sending frigates on missions

[wet sigil]

Frigate fuel is for frigate expedition

[void crest]

can you explain what the portal is and how i might unlock it if i didnt yet do so and how do i find my way to the core from there

[untold gate]

I like my galaxu

[untold gate]

Cool so its useless

[gray shoal]

No. Frigate missions give loot and money

[wet sigil]

#nms-commands message

This is how you find portals.

If you ever seen stargate, that's basically what portals are

Note: portal function is severely limited if you don't have all 16 glyphs, which you can get by following the artemis quests, if you only learn the first glyph, then it will only be useful for core warping, nothing else

[gray shoal]

One of the mission loot drops is salvaged frigate module

[untold gate]

How do i make my freightor warp cuz it says that my hyher drive has no fuel and i have no idea how to refuel it

[inland ermine]

Warp fuel

[gray shoal]

Same as ship

[untold gate]

Where do i put it

[inland ermine]

Or hyperdrive cores if you somehow farnmed storm crystals

[untold gate]

Ik

[inland ermine]

In the hyperdrive in your ship screen

Just switch to freighter equipment and click on the hyperdrive

[untold gate]

My ships hypher drive is full

[wet sigil]

Your freighter

[inland ermine]

Not your ship's hyperdrive, the freighter's hyperdrive

[wet sigil]

You fuel the freighter like you would with a ship

[untold gate]

Oh wait i found it

Bruh

Infront of my eyes

I feel so stupid now

[wet sigil]

Also a side note, the number of stars in any given galaxy has 14-15 digits in their number, so you don't strictly need to travel to another galaxy to explore if that's what you want to do

[supple goblet]

Hi, im new to base building and i really love the sky/orbital base. May i ask, is there any tips to build orbital base? Ty and have a nice day

[gray shoal]

[echo zealot]

when's the corvette technology bug stuff gonna get fixed? it's getting really annoying

[final bluff]

Im trying to work out which ship is better the Remnant or the Crimson they both have similar stats but the Remnant is worth double the crimsons value and I don't have a clue why

[tropic ginkgo]

what is "this" supposed to be
you just posted a picture of the banner the game's stores currently use

[eager helm]

The ship?

[tropic ginkgo]

that's a corvette, probably a design you can make yourself if you like

[wet sigil]

Do you have a screenshot of the two?

[gray shoal]

No engines or cockpit like that in game tho

[proven frigate]

Is there a point to getting an organic frigate/starship beside for visual?

[gray shoal]

Organic frigates dont get damaged

[wet sigil]

Organic frigate and living ship kinda go hand in hand

If you want a living ship to be at all practical, you really have to use organic frigates

[tropic ginkgo]

I figured most of that is merely conceptual art-ish
difficult to answer questions when som people keep being as vague as humanly possible about what they want to know

[proven frigate]

🤔 Interesting

[wet sigil]

I am also pretty certain that having 150 across all 4 stats on frigate expeditions also guarentees the safety of your frigates

[gray shoal]

Organic frigates bring upgrades for living ship

[wet sigil]

The main bottleneck is the Spawning Sacs, unless you are willing to use duping, or don't care about cargo/tech space past a certain point

[proven frigate]

ngl I didn't even know frigates can be damages

[wet sigil]

They can yes, I have had a few damaged even when I wasn't deliberately damaging them

[noble pivot]

How do I unlock the flatbed? I already savaged tons of waste through the incinerator but it isn't unlocking the option for me to apply the flatbed to my colossus. I tried reloading the game dozens of times and nothing...

[dull salmon]

is there any way to let a person know youve visited their base?

leaving a message beacon would be really cool

[eager helm]

Do u even play nms

[wet sigil]

There is a way, but it's permanent for everyone

[tropic ginkgo]

any questions about the game?

[dull salmon]

oh? hmm that doesnt sound too great then...

[wet sigil]

What's the status on your Industrial Cleanup quest

[floral rock]

Is there a way to scan for specific resources? Eg for copper? Or i need to just fly randomly and use vizier to find it? 😅

[wet sigil]

Apart from checking the discoveries tab for the planet to double make sure what you are after is indeed on the planet, visor is your only way

[floral rock]

Ehh shame but ok, yeah im on the right planet its even says "copper" on visor, thx anyway

[swift sand]

personally, sometimes i like having a planned trajectory in my head: so i just go north, or south, after i find a building.

[swift sand]

if you dont see as many visor icons as you normally would, try to switch to target sweep visor mode and back again to base mode. that should pop more icons on (a current bug). that said, you could possibly also locate copper with catalog, it should spawn a mission to find copper in your log, if you select it, iirc it should now give special highlight to copper deposits/probably even target sweep

[floral rock]

Hmm that should work, ill check it out thx

[final bluff]

I didnt realise how much work fully upgrading a organic ship would be. Get all 16 glyphs then wait 5 days just to get the ship then get organic frigates then spend days praying to get the right parts. And after all that, most senital ships are better like what is the point 😑

[noble pivot]

It's asking for me to apply the flatbed module to the colossus, but it's simply not unlocking for me for me, I can't apply it, it's not available for me in the geobay. I tried to reload like some people told on reddit but nothing happens...

[floral rock]

Its highligiht copper deposits if they are in radius, thanks, on visor i mean

[swift sand]

i hear you. really a labor of love, and a long term goal hehe. do feel free to submit suggestions to the devs via the zendesk link ofc.

[swift sand]

did you try to process 1 waste, then save+restart game completely? like quit to desktop, then launch again

[edgy mortar]

For some reason everything I move out of my roamer turns into a random different item, is there any way to fix this?

[noble pivot]

I only have the first chassis available, the other 2 are not unlocked. I already put tons of scraps on the incinerator and it isn't unlocking the flatbed for me

[noble pivot]

I tried but nothing happens

I am playing on steam

[swift sand]

what platform are you on? does this happen if you make a new save on the side, a creative mode save, and test then?

[edgy mortar]

I am playing on Linux, will give the creative mode thing a try. one second

[swift sand]

weird. try going to a diff system/a diff planet with industrial waste

[swift sand]

so steam? gog? using any mods? i'm on linux as well, and i dont seem to have that issue

[edgy mortar]

GOG no mods

[swift sand]

steam here

[edgy mortar]

I am gonna suspect something about the roamer corrupted or something, very strange issue

[swift sand]

oh if you've not tried with other exos on that save, that might also be interesting

[noble pivot]

I tried 3 different planets and nothing

[swift sand]

what does the industrial waste mission tooltip say you need to do, sorry?

[noble pivot]

It's saying to me apply the flatbed module to the colosus

[edgy mortar]

Alright so the issue is not there in a new creative save, and it is only happening on the pilgrim exocraft.

[swift sand]

yeah, should have unlocked it already. did you try all kinds of waste? if it didnt unlock the flatbed it should also not have unlocked the "cleanup agent" player title (can you double check appearance modifier/banner/title?)

[edgy mortar]

ahh it is only there on the latest used exocraft it seems

#nms-questions message
Super strange.

[swift sand]

try to delete all geobays from the save, then save+restart game completely, then go to a diff system, build a geobay, spawn that exo - try to reproduce

[ornate flax]

does anyone have a portal cords i can buy of them?

[swift sand]

this looks like some duping shenenigans

[swift sand]

buy what sorry?

[noble pivot]

I already unlocked everything on my old save file, but I deleted it and started a new one this week, player titles are tied to the account if I remember correctly

[swift sand]

correct

[vague roost]

Random q for the brainboxes. I'm trying to chat on nms ps5. I got my headset in. But it's not changing it to text.

[swift sand]

and so should be the flatbed

[ornate flax]

portal cords that you can put glyths into

[swift sand]

iirc voice to text only works when in a group with others - this in a group?

[wide onyx]

does a wealthiness of a system determine the station's multitool class rarity?

[swift sand]

you mean, you need a portal building? you need to get taxied to some system you've got coords to?

[noble pivot]

I remember I unlocked it in the expedition but when I got to my main save I didn't had it

But I did the mission again and it unlocked in that save file

[swift sand]

it influences class tht drops on pretty much everything, from multitool cabinets to ships and freighters

[noble pivot]

But in the new one nothing

[ornate flax]

nah im tying to get taxied into a system that someone already has a base/home set at so i dont have to search any longer

[swift sand]

sounds like some bug then yeah, i'd suggest raising a bug report when you get a bit of spare time. if you're on pc, you could most likely fix it with a save editor

[wide onyx]

alr ill go for three star systems only

[swift sand]

exocraft / alien charts - follow - cant go wrong - find your own easy

[lost kestrel]

why is it not working

[ornate flax]

thats besides the point i want to find someone that has a cords for a portal and i want to buy the cords off them

[swift sand]

every planet has a portal - i dont understand

[vague roost]

No this is just in the anomaly

[ornate flax]

yes but i cannot find one so i want to find someone that does and buy it off them

[lost kestrel]

General chat isn't letting me send messages

[vague roost]

I had the same thing yutaka :/

[swift sand]

i'm trying to teach you how to find one - did you try to open one of the images i posted full screen? it's literally a step by step.

[vague roost]

I blame the developer of the tower game Fudds

[ornate flax]

as i said im trying to skip that parts because i already knew about that

[swift sand]

ask around #nms-lfg-or-trades , this channel is for questions&answers about gameplay/tech support, not getting in game help, sorry

[swift sand]

seems that there's issues with discord srvers atm

[vague roost]

Bk. You seem like a wealth of knowledge. Thank you

[silver pollen]

I want to make a custom built ship specifically for doing pirate stuff. Would it be better to make a new Corvette or build a starship?

I need maneuverability and speed, as well as combat power

[swift sand]

it's really gonna come down to preference - any of those ships would have

I need maneuverability and speed, as well as combat power

[silver pollen]

What would you recommend? I can do either, I'd just have to farm parts

[swift sand]

naturally, if you build a massive bulky corvette, it might not be very maneuverable

[vague roost]

Id suggest corvette personally. There's loads of awesome tutorials for different shapes and stuff on YouTube.

I have. A star wars pod racer. A Warhammer thunder hawk and a star wars star destroyer

[silver pollen]

I was thinking the glitch with weapons on Corvette could be useful

Additionally, if I go Corvette, should I upgrade it instantly or upgrade my main Corvette? I only have enough nanites for one

[swift sand]

you're asking me about my personal preference then - personally, i love building rasa fighters and cute tiny explorers, but i'm not an expert base builder, and i dont really like to follow other people's designs. but in the end, any of them could be daily drivers. it's much more the tech build we slap on that makes the difference. i dont need to obliterate enemies in less than 2s - if i'm obliterating them in 5 or 10s. i actually dont use autopilot all that much, after years of not having it.

[swift sand]

farm more nanites?

[silver pollen]

My method takes a bit to recharge

I do the pirate stations method

With the x modules

[swift sand]

last time i tried that method exactly, i had 40k nanites in 20minutes

[silver pollen]

I don't have enough pirate stations. I could go grab more, I suppose

[swift sand]

exactly 🙂

[wet sigil]

IIRC a dozen is enough to make it perpetual

My memory could be completely shot though

[swift sand]

@silver pollen remember that trade outposts terminals in outlaw systems also sell sus packets

[swift sand]

nah, that sounds about right

[silver pollen]

I shall go pirate farming then

[swift sand]

@silver pollen oh, and also, i'm sure you've noticed already, some agents/terminals will have bigger stockpiles of packets than others; iirc i've seen up to 13 packets of the same type on the same terminal/vendor

[devout shuttle]

Is it possible to get your own xeno arena table?

[swift sand]

if you get lots of x-class hazard.. bigger profits. you could even force game to only drop x-class hazard.

[swift sand]

if on pc, probably through #nms-modding, though not sure if any was released already

[devout shuttle]

RIP

[wise reef]

Another method is to max out standing with all three races, then you can buy modules at space stations for 50% off, and sell them back for 100% price. YOu can make a few thousand nanites per station you visit

[final bluff]

How do you get organic frigates?

[silver bluff]

anyone know best method to get salavaged freighter modules?

[swift sand]

only non-rng sources for SFM are merchant and explorer guild envoys, the rest is basically just down to luck. i'd suggest not relying on a single way - see <#nms-commands message>, run the sources you have fun with/have access to atm. guild envoys and mission boards are nice imo.

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

[final bluff]

@swift sand thanks🙏

[wise reef]

all methods are kind of slow. If you get too bored of farming them, just turn purchases to free and get the upgrade(s) you want

[swift sand]

@silver bluff that said, if you're wanting sfm to unlock freighter indium drive, just ignore it and complete in stellar multitudes instead, you'll get resonance matrix for free (freighter's atlantid drive)

[tiny vortex]

folks: how does this work? ive been pondering for about 2 months now

[wet sigil]

Is there a list of all colossus' upgrades unlock criteria?

[swift sand]

see image:

[swift sand]

the community runs nexus quicksilver missions, which progresses the research per tier; when a tier completes, its item is added permanently to the quicksilver shop, and then any player can unlock them for their account (if not consumables)

[vale dew]

hi , i have a base with a friend but he is the owner and when he leave i cant edit is there any way to solve this?

[gray shoal]

He needs to set permisions

[vale dew]

thanks

[tiny vortex]

oooh i figured that much but.....is there some link or site where it tells you what will be unlocked????

[swift sand]

and when he leave i cant edit is there any way to solve this?
no - they have to be in the system with mp enabled in the same instance as you at least in order for you to keep permissions cc @gray shoal

[wet sigil]

200 waste here means any waste, and doesn't have to be the specialised waste, right?

[fervent vector]

Hey quick question… anyone know why my controllers isn’t working with no man’s sky? I load up a different game and instantly I’m able to use my controller, but then it won’t work for no man sky. I’ve tried uninstalling and re downloading, messed around with the settings on steam and on my computer and I can’t seem to find out why it doesn’t work

[swift sand]

you can double check in the quicksilver shop, items should be at the top when you do "create quicksilver items"

[swift sand]

right!

[swift sand]

what controller do you have?

[fervent vector]

Xbox controller. I’ve tried wireless and wired but neither work

[tiny vortex]

but is it "not yet unloackable" or something?

[swift sand]

yeah. research tiers gotta finish first

[swift sand]

odd. i'm sure lots of players have these controllers, and we've not been seeing any reports about this. have you tried steam "big picture mode", and launching from there? steam input enabled?

[keen trench]

can you exit your corvette mid flight

like just walk around inside

[fervent vector]

Yep, I’ve also tried that and it didn’t work

[swift sand]

quick menu/exit seat

[swift sand]

tried steam input enabled/disabled? on windows right?

[fervent vector]

Correct!

[green jacinth]

Is there any way to see if a system you've visited before has an atlas station? I'm having trouble finding a purple star system with an ocean world or gas giant even though I've warped to about a dozen now... so I thought I'd try to find the closest atlas station and use ||memories of the Atlantid to create a system with one nearby||

@fervent vector have you also tried to only connect controller after launching steam, and before launching nms?

[fervent vector]

I am so sorry, idk what it is… but I just connected my ps4 controller and it works somehow

How do I key bind leaving the pilot seat on steam deck?

[swift sand]

not sure there's a way, as that's normally only possible to keyboard

[silver pollen]

Maybe if I hook up a keyboard, do the key bind, and then map a button to the key bind?

[swift sand]

possibly yeah, you'd need some workaround to the effect

[hot kraken]

im getting frustrated with the "Ghosts in the machine" quest where i need to expand my home and hire a scientist i have travelled to over 15 different korvax space stations and there isn't a single scientist what am i doing wrong

@silver pollen you could possibly use some input remapper too (e.g. https://github.com/ShadowBlip/InputPlumber), not sure that's/or what's available on deck

[gilded bison]

So I’m on the purge mission and it wants me to locate and enter the final portal. It won’t show me the mission area, and every time I reset to nearby structures it does nothing and still says “mission target very distant.” I have tried warping 16 times again and a handful of other things but it won’t work. It also made all my glyphs disappear but once I reloaded my game they appeared again. I’m stuck and confused.

[swift sand]

when you select scientific research, the target npc/system should be marked either in the current system of the base you built the science terminal at, or in a nearby one. check a teleporter, is there a destination that says "closer to recruit npc" or the mission icon on it on the list?

[swift sand]

every time I reset to nearby structures it does nothing and still says “mission target very distant.

1. are you playing solo or with friends in a group?

[gilded bison]

Friends in a group

[swift sand]

dont be. leave group, disable multiplayer in network settings, save+reload from main menu, then try again to hit the restart using nearby structures button

[gilded bison]

Okay I’ll try that really quickly thanks.

[swift sand]

@gilded bison also, about that step after, see <#nms-commands message>, the warning here

[keen trench]

do organic CORVETTES exist?

sad

[gilded bison]

It worked thank you!!

[swift sand]

i've seen some players do something to that effect. you could, with a bit of ingenuity, use base decorations, like plants and stuff, on the outside of a corvette, to make it look like it's organic

i'd strongly recommend having a backup of your save files before trying it though

[hot kraken]

there isn't a destination that says that i also don't have a quest icon on any system at all and i have the quest "scientific research" selected

[swift sand]

you have the science terminal built on a planet base, yes? goto that base first. when you get there, post a screenshot of the entire screen, with the scientific research mission tooltip showing lower right of the screen

Does anyone know how to actually start the "They Who Returned" quest? I have completed the purge storyline mission and I have lifted harmonic camp seal (I did use an echo locator). I still do not have the mission.

[swift sand]

1. do you have new beginnings in the mission log then?
2. if you've unlocked the multitool seal off the cabinet as well,
3. just warp out of the current system and wait in space for they who returned quest transmission

[iron basin]

1. yes
2. yes
3. okay will do
   also thanks

[swift sand]

right there yep

[hot kraken]

i've been there 90x

[swift sand]

can you please warp to it again, and then - it should be pointing you to the space station

[tiny vortex]

are this things good to be spending grinding time in?

[swift sand]

basically the same stat types and stat ranges as sentinel exosuit modules - but a diff type, so you could stack 3 of these too

[tiny vortex]

oh so thats whats good about it. Good to know

[silver pollen]

How do you get ship tech slot upgrades?

[swift sand]

there isnt a diff item, you just need to change the selected inventory before applying the upgrade so it applies to tech instead of cargo. you can also pre-select a tech slot with the cursor, then apply.

[solar trout]

I have 2 questions:

1. How do I delete ships/corvettes? (preferably without having to require me to summon them)
2. Is there a way to rename my corvettes?

[ornate flax]

why do i have to have multiplayer of?

[swift sand]

1. cant scrap a ship that you dont have equipped - we can get to any ship from a planet base, after save+reload at the base, because of a failsafe. cant scrap corvettes, only exchange them for a npc ship and then scrap the npc ship
2. you should be able to rename it by pressing the pencil button in the corvette inventory menu

[ornate flax]

does it make any difference Gunter

[swift sand]

just better for stability and avoiding issues

[ornate flax]

so its optional

[solar trout]

Okay it's cause one of my corvettes is bugged I'm pretty sure since whenever I try summoning it it basically ends up crashing my game so I want to get rid of it as it's basically just taking up a ship slot on my freighter.

So do I just have to spawn it in and then trade it with an NPC?

[swift sand]

yeah

[solar trout]

Okay thanks. Hopefully I can somehow spawn it in without it crashing my game 🤞

[swift sand]

if you're on pc, it would also be possible to delete using a save editor, in case you can't

[silver pollen]

If I have 560mil moneys is that enough for a ridiculous amount of storage on my Corvette?

Some kind stranger gave me stuff to sell for units

[swift sand]

if you go scrapping ships for storage augs yeah, i think so -

[silver pollen]

I can get storage augs from ship scrapping?

[solar trout]

What's a save editor? If it involves deleting a save file then that's probably not possible as I made the ship around a year ago I think

[swift sand]

or just outright buy them

[swift sand]

see image:

[silver pollen]

I thought you only get money parts or ship parts

Okay so find and scrap S and A tiers? That's gonna hurt since i don't have my own s tier yet

[swift sand]

a save editor is a program that can read and display and modify data inside a save file, such as removing a ship

[final bluff]

How do you leave your mission group this guy is spamming messages calling me a good boy because I did the mission for him and its starting to get to me 😭😅

[silver pollen]

Where do I find S tier ships?

All my stations only have c

At least the regular stations. Haven't checked pirate ones

[swift sand]

when you find a ship that drops N storage augs when you scrap it at a certain class, buying and scrapping that same ship at the same class again is going to drop the same nr of augs

[solar trout]

Stations and trade outposts

[swift sand]

in short, it's a matter of luck and rng and time spent watching ships go by - except for exotics, the drop chances are affected by system economy tier

[silver pollen]

Okay so farm outlaw stations then?

[swift sand]

well, if you were only focusing on s-class drops, yes, it has the highest drop chance for that class out of all the eco tiers

[frigid wadi]

3 star systems have a better chance, and outlaw stations and trade outposts on planets in those system types

[silver pollen]

Tysm!

[swift sand]

just to be clear, 3* has a better drop chance for A-class drops for example, but not s-class

a-class ships do often drop storage augs too

[solar trout]

There is also a way where you can go to the space stations where other people have found S tier ships before (they usually give the portal coords and mention how many waves of ships you need to wait for).
However if you want to find an S tier ship in a legit way then I wouldn't recommend this. Only do this if you're super desperate for an S tier ship and don't want to wait around trying to find one.

[naive gate]

can i store multitools outside of my multitool slots?

[swift sand]

how many waves
unless we're talking "first wave exotic systems" (and even in those cases, it's not entirely clear if it's always the same for all players), this can vary fwiw.

[swift sand]

unlock, build and interact with weapons rack base part to archive tools

[naive gate]

ok thanks

[swift sand]

@solar trout that said, crashed ships - those have fixed class, so sharing coordinates to crashed ship sites would let someone else bypass the rng farm

[solar trout]

Ah yes I completely forgot about those

There are also S class sentinel ships you can farm which are super easy but I'm not sure if they give whatever the person was looking for

[swift sand]

sentinel ships can also drop storage aug items, yep!

[ornate flax]

i have to await contact for my starbirth quest how long do i usally have to wait?

[swift sand]

when it says this, it wants you to go to space and pulse until hailed

[final spoke]

So I was freighter farming for This Freighter and found that the space battle I was getting into starred actually a huge capital ship instead, with this ship as a frigate

Which sorta makes sense because this ship I am looking at doesn't even have an entrance, but then, this is definitely a screenshot of the game, right? Is it just borked?

[swift sand]

this means that system you went to has that system freighter design, and you just need to keep spawning npc fleets in the system till it both spawns that freighter as boardable/purchaseable and in s-class

yeah, after 2 rescue battles in a save, rescue targets are always capitals

[final spoke]

So I actually can't get this ship no matter what at the moment, but after three more hours I can

[swift sand]

i'm sure you've seen npc fleets spawning randomly into a system as you fly by, right?

just, in inhabited systems

[final spoke]

Do those have a chance to be this? I'm already hedging my bets on a 3% S rank

Do those have a chance to be this?
correct, that's exactly how we get system freighters after we've completed 2 rescue battles in a save, and they dont have to be obtained through rescue battles, but you also wont be able to use rescue battles to do the reload-rewarp-reroll

[final spoke]

So farming the right class with that method isn't even an option I have at all? That's so stinky

But alright x -x

[swift sand]

so you for example goto the station, save+reload, go outside, wait for 2 fleets to spawn in nearby - if it's the freighter you want, and can board it, go check - if not s-class, return to station and save+reload or pulse away from those fleets for a bit till they've despawned+exit pulse+wait for more fleets to spawn in

brothers....ive been trying for a while but.....how do you locate waste processing plants on a planet with industrial waste???

[final spoke]

One of the exocraft can scan for one

[tiny vortex]

i havent been able with this

[scenic quail]

what do i do in the "alone between the stars" quest

[swift sand]

first, focus on planets in inhabited systems with salvageable scrap. then pop colossus, scan for processing plants. if you could find one, then that planet should be good to travel around to collect waste/specialist waste to haul and process at the plant

@tiny vortex waste heaps will have lots of waste and specialist waste

[swift sand]

what does the mission tooltip lower right of the screen when you're playing want you to do?

[stone carbon]

Is there a particular star system type that desert plants spawn in? like how paradise planets are in yellow systems, do desert planets have that too?

[tiny vortex]

yeah i played the Remnant expedition but now i cant find a single planet with a procesing plant

[swift sand]

nope, no special weight for barren

[stone carbon]

gotcha, ty

[scenic quail]

find tips about artemis in this and another worlds

[swift sand]

remember, must hav salvageable scrap on the list, must be in a gek/korvax/vykeen system

[swift sand]

just scan some fauna, some flora, and some minerals on a planet in the system, wait a few seconds, then return to space and once you clear away from the planet enough, you should get another mission transmission. alternatively, if you just warp out via galaxy map to the next system marked by the galactic core pathline, then wait in space for a bit, should progress as well

[tiny vortex]

at least 5 planets in the last week, ive spent 1 hour on each searching for the processing plant.....no luck

[swift sand]

does the system have a space station

[tiny vortex]

yes
