[latent goblet]

I'm guessing I have to pick 1

[swift sand]

it's nice, but there's other sources too, for all those options, so it's really a matter of deciding which to get

[latent goblet]

o 3 o Well the corvette modules are easy to get from planets

I dunno how to find freighter inventory upgrades nor tech upgrades o:

Well for freighter

Regular tech I know where

[supple goblet]

Im looking for a paradise moon in gas giant system on eissentam, is it possible?

[swift sand]

freighter upgrade modules, pinged you in #nms-commands . freighter inventory upgrade aka cargo bulkhead, see <#nms-commands message> (freighter sublink)

[swift sand]

yeah

[supple goblet]

Ok, since i think purple systems have higher chances for redacted moons instead...

[latent goblet]

Sh-t I wasn't counting how many times I warped....

Teleports don't count right? lol

[swift sand]

yeah, can take a while to find, just a matter of system hopping. if you got a freighter, and the scanner room, using it could help

[swift sand]

no

[swift sand]

it doesn't really matter as long as you, until the next rescue battle triggers, always update restore point before warping out to another system,

[supple goblet]

Haha, yeah im trying but the freighter bug keep crash my game every 10 warp 🙂

[swift sand]

ah yeah. well, it will happen eventually, finding a moon you like i mean.

[supple goblet]

Must be very rare

I tried to build on the gas giant surface but the storm is crazy

[gray shoal]

Not common for sure

[swift sand]

the more requirements you add to your search e.g. grass color, sky color, etc - probably the longer it will take to find it

[supple goblet]

Yeah, i want a resort that look at a giant gas upto the sky XD

[supple goblet]

I found many lush moons, but it all end with superheated storms XD

[swift sand]

yeah, happens, takes time, but there's no rule that prevents paradise label from being applied to gas giant moons

[supple goblet]

Oki, then i will keep doing till i give up XD

Ty

[swift sand]

just have fun, there's lots of cool stuff to see, even on non lush

[supple goblet]

Bruh, a tropical, overgrown and bountiful in the same system XD

[swift sand]

yep, that's lush galaxy type for ya

[supple goblet]

Yeah, like, i want to create an ultimate base XD

[final bluff]

Im trying to get a full organic frigates crew does anyone know if there is a maximum amount you can have and if there is a cooldown in between getting each one

[bitter crypt]

The max amount of frigates is 30, and I believe you can only get 1 organic frigate per system

[swift sand]

yeah 1 biofrig per system, up to 30 biofrigs, and no cooldown - remember to dump dream aerial, that's only used for the first one of a save

[final bluff]

Oh ok thanks its taking me like 15 minutes each one so far but ive been searching for about 40 minutes with out finding one so just wanted to know if there was a maximum amount of living frigates you could have. ill keep searching 👍

[knotty frigate]

how do I find the living ship without landing if I wanna reload and see a different configuration?

[cloud python]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NOMANSSKY/comments/1r2pyff/strange_mouse_behaviour_since_new_update/

has any figured this out yet? my friend is trying to play but hes getting this and we've gone and tried everything we could to fix it for him but it doesnt fix and he cant play at all

[swift sand]

basically, you should have a crashed ship site marker on your hud - simply approach it by flying, when close enough just open photo mode and use it as a drone camera; that doesn't require exiting ship/seat

[knotty frigate]

oh it's giving me approximate

I ended up landing because I couldn't see it anywhere

[swift sand]

i've seen this issue in past updates too, i dont think this is a recent bug at all. this usually comes down to installed mouse-related apps, monitor refresh rates and syncing - using a controller should bypass the issue completely if it's indeed related to the former

[knotty frigate]

so am I stuck now since I landed and exited the ship?

[swift sand]

completing the full quest i see

[thick copper]

no mouse apps

[swift sand]

well,you're basically locked in to that one now, unless you trigger the out of range state i think

[thick copper]

what is the recomended refresh rate

[wide onyx]

i use 120hz for nms

[swift sand]

what's the refresh rate of your screen? what's the refresh rate you play at?

[knotty frigate]

🙁 It didn't even give me the coordinates to a crash site

[thick copper]

my refresh rate is fine i have no issues with it but me and Ashuna are trying to fix the issue for our friend

[wide onyx]

walk till you find one

[thick copper]

im using 144 rhz

[swift sand]

well, it'd probably be best if your friend actually joined in the conversation, instead of us uhm, playing messenger here

[echo sinew]

I’m building my corvette using a tutorial, the guy uses a internal staircase, how to I make/ get this ??

[swift sand]

you'll first have to finalize the ship, then you'll go inside it and build a stair

[knotty frigate]

oh wait I'm not even done yet

[swift sand]

yeah, that didnt look like the right hint to me but

[serene cairn]

Im here

[swift sand]

are you on windows?

[serene cairn]

11 yeah

[swift sand]

try to clean boot your machine, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd, retest

[serene cairn]

74.97 Hz is my refresh rate

[serene cairn]

Im probably not gonna do that

[swift sand]

and while we're at it, do you have vsync enabled? triple or adaptive?

[serene cairn]

adaptive

[swift sand]

sure, cant force you, as long as you understand what a clean boot is

[swift sand]

if you're actually able to maintain that frame rate, i'd lock it in to triple buffered

[serene cairn]

Welp i did it

still happens

[swift sand]

try disabling overlays across the board: discord, obs, medal, rtss, etc. try changing your mouse's dpi, poll rate

[gaunt radish]

just got my S rank pirate dreadnought

this is a whole new world fr

any guide on how everything works

?

that yall can recommend

[swift sand]

works the same as any other freighter really

[gaunt radish]

nonono

i didnt like even look at my

freighter before

i just got it to get this S rank

[serene cairn]

discord and steam are off

[gaunt radish]

like i havent touched freighters at all

[serene cairn]

and poll rate isnt even an option

[swift sand]

explore your freighter bridge, interact the terminals, farm salvaged frigate modules to unlock freighter research etc. can you be more specific?

[gaunt radish]

how do i like progress my freighter?

[gaunt radish]

^

new upgrades and such

ranking up my frigates too

all that stuff

[swift sand]

farm salvaged frigate modules to unlock freighter research
see <#nms-commands message> for drop sources

[swift sand]

type !faq-frigates in #nms-commands

[gaunt radish]

ty

average w from the goat bk

[swift sand]

have you tried different window modes, like borderless? applied and restarted game afterwrds?

[serene cairn]

yep

[swift sand]

do you have other input devices connected?

[serene cairn]

nope

[solar osprey]

can i actually find black holes that other people havent discovered

[serene cairn]

I must ask how long has this "Problem" been in the game?

[serene cairn]

yes

[swift sand]

it's basically your mouse - i've only seen this issue reported 3 times, including yours, and i've been in this discord server for years now

[serene cairn]

theres like 6.8 billion or something planets and stuff

[solar osprey]

yeah but everyone goes to the black holes tho as they take u closer to the centre right?

[swift sand]

black hole warping to get to the core was a thing before, in the past, not so much anymore

[serene cairn]

Its wireless

[swift sand]

yes, wired, wireless, still a mouse

[solar osprey]

hey bk guess what ||my game just crashed again||

[echo sinew]

How do I make my inner walls look nice in my corvette? Mine are messy

[thick copper]

i dont know if this will help. https://www.ebay.com/itm/355260108331
this is his mouse

[void crest]

i need to craft magnetic resonators but i dont see the recipe anywhere where do i craft them?

[swift sand]

yeah, not sure, could be just a bug with the game, could be something on your machine, we dont really know, we're just players. up to you if you want to try more stuff

[solar osprey]

different habitable parts or smth have different interior designs

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-corvette-discussion maybe, post some screenshots?

[swift sand]

anomaly/synthesis laboratory for the blueprint

[solar osprey]

you need to unlock the anomaly and then research the blueprint there, alternatively js buy them from trade terminals

[void crest]

thank you

[serene cairn]

bk whats the plan chief

[swift sand]

@serene cairn is it possible to try a different mouse, perhaps a wired mouse? have you tried like i suggested lowering dpi? new batteries?

[serene cairn]

Twin im broke I only a wireless

[serene cairn]

Changed the batts last night

and DPI didnt change anything

[swift sand]

yeah, i dont know what else to suggest atm

[serene cairn]

lemme know by DM if you get any ideas

[swift sand]

i'd try borrowing another mouse from a friend

and testing that just to make sure

[serene cairn]

I got like 1 person to borrow a mouse but he only has one and gash... Gash is horder

[swift sand]

because it's most certainly going to be something like that if it's not software

[thick copper]

ill take that title

[swift sand]

clean booting would be a really non destructive way to see if software

[serene cairn]

Twin can you dum it down to a 4 year old can understand that (Im stupid)

[wide onyx]

use the bios system to check for software issues

[swift sand]

in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd:

A clean boot starts Windows with only essential drivers and startup programs, making it easier to identify and troubleshoot background software conflicts affecting apps or games. Unlike starting Windows in Safe Mode, it provides greater control to isolate the source of a problem

[solar osprey]

whats the max cargo for the exosuit (slotwise)

[swift sand]

60 tech, 120 cargo

[serene cairn]

If you mean clean slating windows I would rather taste test bullets twin im sorry

[swift sand]

a clean boot, isnt a clean install

A clean boot starts Windows with only essential drivers and startup programs, making it easier to identify and troubleshoot background software conflicts affecting apps or games. Unlike starting Windows in Safe Mode, it provides greater control to isolate the source of a problem

[wide onyx]

its js for one boot not a full factory reset

[swift sand]

it's all described step by step in that link

[serene cairn]

did it

[solar pollen]

can someone explain to me how can i get staff?

[humble pendant]

Complete main quests then the autophage ones will trigger

[swift sand]

pinged you in #nms-commands

complete they who returned quest

where did the tips for tech inventory building question go

[abstract umbra]

I thought it would be against channel rules since it wasn’t a troubleshooting question

And had images

[swift sand]

nah nah. questions and answers about nms gameplay and tech support

can post images if to support a question or an answer

[abstract umbra]

I see, one sec

[swift sand]

no worries.

check out this post <#nms-commands message>

[abstract umbra]

“If I sent screenshots of my technology section would someone be able to provide general guidance on how to maximize what I have? I am currently trying to have a power jet pack setup.”

I copied my caption just in case

[serene cairn]

@swift sand Its only happens when i tab in and out now

[abstract umbra]

I’ll check out that post still

[swift sand]

if you're using all SC slots for jetpack, then you dont need to really bother with layout much besides the grouping techs and modules of the same type in adjacent slots make squares not rows

[serene cairn]

LOWKEY BETTER THAN BEFORE ILL TAKE IT

[swift sand]

while in clean boot?

that'd possibly mean that there's an app set to run on startup that's making it worse. perhaps try to change window modes in the game now, to check if you can eliminate it completely

[serene cairn]

It would act regardless last time even in gameplay but now its just only when i tab out

[abstract umbra]

What do you mean by the squares comment?

[swift sand]

just as an example, something like this: techs and modules of the same type in a square - more connected borders, stronger adjacency bonuses

[serene cairn]

Still only happening when tabbing in and out

In all windowmodes

[swift sand]

well, that's at least better than before it seems, if it's not doing it when gameplay

[dusty thicket]

Finally got a Corvette with ambassador cockpit, it's so much better than my triangle wedge sentinel in terms of sight. Good recommendation thanks

[thick copper]

just want to point this out as most likely not the problem, cause it ONLY happens in nms

[hybrid pier]

help, i am unable to launch the game anymore, i last played in 2024, now i went to play again, everytime i launch, it crashes instantly

is the directory correct

[swift sand]

yeah, i understand that, but nms isnt' other games/apps, and they arent nms - things can be "picky"

Getting NMS Crash dump files

1. Press&Hold Windows key+Press R, in the Run window that appears, type %localappdata%, press Enter.
2. Open the Temp subfolder;
3. Relevant crash dump filenames will start with NMS_crash, for example NMS_crash_1771955407_161480_0x846ED-HANG_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp;
4. Drag and drop the latest crash dump in the #964865106334875698 thread: be patient till someone is available to take a look.

Notes:

• While waiting, uninstall anything like OBS, Overwolf, Twitch Studio, Medal, Riva Tuner, etc. All are known to cause crashes in NMS when not completely up to date. Additionally, ensure your graphics drivers are completely up to date. Integrated graphics as well if on a laptop.
• If you didn't find a Temp folder inside %localappdata%, try %appdata% instead.
• You can also use Windows Search to find files with the dmp extension.

[zenith oyster]

i have a herald of thommotr multitool which has a hijacked laser, but i cant remove it. is it possible to use a regular laser or can it be upgraded with modules?

[swift sand]

hijacked laser is basically sentinel multitool's mining beam tech - it does the same as mining beam, uses the same techs and upgrade modules. you can even install the mining beam base tech on the side, which will buff hijacked laser even more.

[zenith oyster]

great, thanks 😄

[hybrid pier]

problem solved

[humble pendant]

Wait I didn’t know that

taking notes

[swift sand]

mining beam on the side of hijacked laser/runic lens, yeah definitely

[humble pendant]

Also how come freighters glitch so much when playing as a group and is there any way that can be avoided

Like my friend has one and when I went to see it it was completely different for her than it was for me and then same for mine when she came onboard

[swift sand]

you mean the base inside?

[humble pendant]

Yup

[swift sand]

yeah, that's a bug that's been going on for a while now, where our freighter bases dont show to other players even when our freighter is the only one in the system. would suggest raising a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[edgy briar]

I was wondering to get this games I’m always use to getting sports games and I though this game look a bit interesting ?

[supple goblet]

May i ask, why i cant rename the planet that i discover? 🙁

Becuz i upload it to the system? 🙁

[swift sand]

if you'd like a mostly single player sandboxy scifi inspired but not simulator game, nms might be a cool game to play to you

[swift sand]

if you just uploaded it, you'll have to wait for a bit before you can rename it

probably just taking a bit of time with the server etc

[supple goblet]

I upload all the systems i found since day one XD

I just saw the upload all button

[swift sand]

you should be able to cursor over an older uploaded discovery of yours and rename it (X or pc iirc)

[supple goblet]

Oki, ty 🙂

[solar osprey]

how does asking polo for coordinates actually work? i feel like nothing happens when i do

[swift sand]

you can ask him for coords to two things: atlas station, or black hole. this day and age, you shouldnt really have the need to. what are you trying to do?

[solar osprey]

i mean i was just looking for black holes idrk why

[swift sand]

okay so if you keep progressing main story, eventually black hole systems will all be marked on the galaxy map.

[devout shuttle]

Help people can’t see my base but only I can

[swift sand]

did you upload the base to the server via the base computer?

[devout shuttle]

Yes

But all the sudden it’s glitched and they can’t see

[solar osprey]

thats why i think nothing happens because i can see them anyway icl im prolly just wasting my time

[devout shuttle]

@vernal nacelle

[swift sand]

yeah, just ignore polo for now 😄

[vernal nacelle]

yes

[swift sand]

glitched how, if you dont mind trying to elaborate?

[solar osprey]

aww poor polo

[swift sand]

agreed

[vernal nacelle]

as in most of evrything suddenly dissapearing?

[solar osprey]

can i find cooler planets if i have an indium drive

[devout shuttle]

For some reason it’s not uploaded but I can recall uploading

[swift sand]

hmm, do you have multiplayer enabled or disabled? if @devout shuttle uploaded the base more than 24h ago, if you visit the system with multiplayer disabled - does the base display properly?

[devout shuttle]

Uploaded to servers now

[devout shuttle]

Enabled

[swift sand]

then it will take up to 24h to replicate

[vernal nacelle]

hmmm

[swift sand]

we can reupload a base, for example if we made changes before the last upload

[devout shuttle]

I reuploaded

@vernal nacelle can u see?

[vernal nacelle]

hng on lemme check

[swift sand]

well, not necessarily, but you'll have more systems to be able to visit basically, also be able to get indium/activated indium (better refine to cmetal ratios)

[vernal nacelle]

YES I CAN SEE!!!

[solar osprey]

ah right, also whats the best way to get nanites bc smelting 7000 pugneum for 300 nanites does not seem worth while when i could sell it all for 1 mill units

[supple goblet]

I found 3 abandoned paradises, is this a glitch or npc dont tend to live in purple systems?

[swift sand]

"abandoned paradise" isnt related to the presence of npcs - abandoned paradise just a synonym for ruin subtype. npc presence is controlled system level. for example, if the system has a regular or an outlaw station, then the system can have npcs

[supple goblet]

Oh... So does abandoned paradise equal paradise? Since they r my only options now XD

[swift sand]

no, it doesn't

literally, "Paradise Planet", or "Paradise Moon" - never including "Abandoned" or "infested" paradise, not the same

[hushed cave]

does going afk in no man’s sky still cause the 3 hour playtime timer for freighters to go down? or does it have to be active playtime?

[swift sand]

if you're in game, not paused, not on any menu, just idling in the station for example, it counts.

[supple goblet]

Oh oki, ty XD

[hushed cave]

bet thank you

[wide onyx]

are breached planets rare?

[hushed cave]

so i can just choose a safe place like my current freighter to chill out

[swift sand]

sure. remember that the counter doesn't require 3h consecutive - it doesnt reset if you quit the game either

[swift sand]

one of the weird biome subtypes - no, not really

[wide onyx]

rly hard to fly my ship here ngl

[solar osprey]

what biome subtypes are the coolest in your opinion

[hushed cave]

thank you my guy 🙏 been helping in here for hours at this point idk how you do it 😂

[solar osprey]

you can change ship camera view with utility bar

[wide onyx]

no its not that

the reality distortion

makes my ships sensitivity so messed up that the tiniest inputs have insane changes

[swift sand]

of weird biome? hydrogarden (capped/fungal/sporal) and cablepod (cabled/contoured/webbed)

[solar osprey]

just turn your sensitivity then ig

[wide onyx]

its a example

like not my settings

the planet makes my ship weird

[swift sand]

weird, shouldnt really be affecting your ship handling from planet to planet

at least i've never really noticed anything

[wide onyx]

it was a aurora subbiome

idk if that makes a difference

[swift sand]

aurora?

[wide onyx]

the wiki calls them that

[swift sand]

ah, beam subtype

[gray shoal]

Or pillars of light

[swift sand]

"planet of light", "breached", "fissured"

[wide onyx]

ig it could be because it had the highest reality distortion in a planet ive seen

that could be the reason for the ship sensitivity and not the subbiome

[stuck berry]

That's not something that happens to my knowledge

[swift sand]

afaik reality distortion is just a flavor text thing basically

[wide onyx]

let me send a clip when i can

because those controls are so wonky on the planet

[swift sand]

sure, feel free to ping then, np

[wide onyx]

aight

[modern pawn]

what are the requirements to unlock purple star systems?

[stuck berry]

Have completed both They Who Returned and The Atlas Path #nms-commands message

[solar osprey]

where can i find dissonant planets?

[wide onyx]

in the galaxy map, look for systems with "Dissonance" in their description, which is near the distance and F or G type

warp there and look around for a planet or moon with dissonance

[modern pawn]

artemis path isnt required?

[wide onyx]

and btw if its a dead planet or moon dont bother going to it, it doesnt have harmonic camps and is useless

@solar osprey

if you find a harmonic camp use it multiple times and keep a base computer near it

thats what i usually do and it works well

[stuck berry]

It's a prerequisite of They Who Returned, so it is required

[modern pawn]

thanks

[knotty frigate]

wait did I just get TWO eggs for living ships?

[stuck berry]

Probably from frigate expeditions, and those are Psychonic Eggs, not Void Eggs

Psychonic Eggs open to reveal living ship technology

To get a living ship, you would need to buy a Void Egg from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion for 3,200 Quicksilver

[solar osprey]

is that the only way to get a living ship?

[stuck berry]

Yes, to get a Void Egg

and the only way to get a Void Egg normally is to purchase it from the QS Companion

[solar osprey]

what do you with the egg then

[stuck berry]

When you have it, pulse in space to begin the mission

[harsh bough]

Does anyone know a location where i get this? Been on the location of this one for awhile now no luck

[swift sand]

just need to wait long enough till it spawns

[harsh bough]

Damn…

[gray shoal]

On Space station /trade outpost

[unreal obsidian]

Is the only way to get void eggs from buying them???

[swift sand]

or getting one gifted by another player

[unreal obsidian]

Ok so I can’t find the

[swift sand]

sometimes players in the anomaly hand them out

[unreal obsidian]

Them

[unreal obsidian]

Ok

[solar osprey]

lies every anomaly ive been given nothing

[unreal obsidian]

Once I have one how long does it take to hatch

[solar osprey]

u go to space apparantly

[harsh bough]

Oh a space station?

[swift sand]

it's not a companion pet kind of mechanic. type !faq-livingship in #nms-commands for more infos about the quest, getting additional ones after the quest, general and upgrading infos

[harsh bough]

Right I can buy ships from npc’s

[stuck berry]

A mission begins that takes 5 days to complete (four 24hr waiting times), and it also requires you to have 12 of the 16 portal glyphs by the end #nms-commands message

[gray shoal]

Egg is a trigger for quest for living ship

[swift sand]

a trade outpost on a planet might be preferable, especially if it has clear line of sight to ship spawn points in the distance; if the ship you want didnt spawn, you could just save+reload to force respawns

[harsh bough]

Can I buy a map to find one?

[swift sand]

commercial charts can mark trade outpost yeah, but if you got eco scanner installed on ship, just hop in ship, quick menu/utilities/eco scanner/scan for trade outpost

[harsh bough]

Ty

[solar osprey]

what do i need to do to do the 12 glyph thingy

[gray shoal]

Main story

Artemis path

[swift sand]

you'll learn the full portal glyph set by just completing the main storyline, that's the easiest way to learn them

mission the purge, 16 warps in any direction, wait long enough to get the next glyph before warping out again

[bleak karma]

Can someone help me get 18M for an A-Class freighter

[wide onyx]

grind dissonance and sell the sentinal ships

i suggest you watch a tutorial tho

[swift sand]

note that if you leave the place, the freighter will despawn - you could possibly change options/difficulty/purchases=free to get the freighter, change it back to default, make the cash later on in items, and then discard the items to compensate. that said, remember that until you take ownership of a freighter, all freighters rescued from pirates will be offered for free

but yeah, scrapping sentinel ships is a really good way to make millions

[bleak karma]

I haven’t ran into a pirated freighter yet

I never understood how

😔

[swift sand]

pirate freighter can only start spawning after completing 2 rescue battle events and owning a freighter

[stuck berry]

Just own a freighter, and have encountered two freighter battles so far

[bleak karma]

Ah okay

[swift sand]

just keep playing, progressing quests etc, it will happen naturally as long as you dont have options/difficulty/space combat set to none, and you're not ignoring outlaw systems completely

[stuck berry]

even avoiding outlaw systems will have you encounter them eventually, all systems have a chance for their events to be replaced by pirate dread events

but once you qualify for them, 20% of all outlaw systems will spawn them every time they're warped to so they're a way to seek them out specifically

[polar shard]

I just finished a holo arena match and was instantly teleported into space just floating around 😭 has this happened to anyone else?

[swift sand]

yeah, just increasing the chances

[nocturne dagger]

how 2 get freighter

[stuck berry]

Progress the main story to get the free one #nms-questions message

[swift sand]

i've seen someone else report this actually - dont remember what platform they were on though. this was a few patches ago too. what platform are you on?

[wide onyx]

isnt it suggested to pass off the first one because the second one is 100% S class

[stuck berry]

that is false

Class chances for freighters are fully random, with chances based on local system economy
You can definitely put off your first freighter until you find an S-Class one, but you would be missing out on freighters for a while, and you can't really make use of the benefits of an S-Class freighter early on anyways and basically all the stuff from your previous freighter transfers to future ones

[polar shard]

I’m on ps5 haven’t really had any other bugs or glitches happen either, I just called my recovery ship so it was all good just so random

Maybe the npc was so mad I beat him he beamed me into space

[swift sand]

yeah, would suggest raising a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[polar shard]

Alrighty will do 🙏

[solar osprey]

wahts even the point of freighters

[wide onyx]

storage, expeditions, cool, a mobile base basically

[swift sand]

mobile base, a hanger to access your ships in, ability to archive non corvette ships, have a frigate fleet to send on fleet expeditions for passive loot, extra inventory space, matter beam freighter technology, scanner room, etc

[hushed saffron]

lot's of point. You have a cool custom mobile base you can bring anywhere, they tend to have the largest hyperdrive ranges of any vehicle, you can scan entire systems at once with them, send out expeditions to get lots of money and resources, summon exocraft anywhere, you can access your storage containers anywhere, etc.

[solar osprey]

so i should prolly get a free one then huh, i was waiting till i got atleast a B class one

What should I look for in a first freighter?

It's this author's opinion that for a first freighter, any freighter will do. If you like the one you're looking at, great, but getting a freighter ASAP is more important. Stats don't matter at this point, and for a few reasons:

• Early on, a character won't have the resources to make full use of a higher class freighter;
• All freighters have the same base building dimension limits;
  -# Freighter base can be migrated over to a new freighter, when we decide to exchange.
• Matter Beam freighter tech is a huge QoL feature: provides remote access to freighter core cargo from anywhere in the universe and, when freighter is in the current system, to any storage room built on the freighter base;
  -# Freighter research is unlocked save wide, and we can package installed tech/modules at any time when in our freighters.
• Fleet expeditions can give some nice loot, and run even when game is turned off;
• Units won't be a problem later on, when we want to exchange to another freighter.

[wide onyx]

the civilian first time is offered free

but even if you have a freighter the pirate dreadnought will always be free

unlike the civilian

[swift sand]

slight correction, until we take ownership of a freighter, all freighters rescued from pirates will be offered for free

yeah, pirate freighter is always free

[wide onyx]

yea mb

[swift sand]

no worries 🙂

[modern pawn]

what is like the diffrence between diffrent economies like "scientific" and "high tech" etc?

[boreal wolf]

Does the shape/size of the corvette determine its speed or maneuverability?

[stuck berry]

The trade goods available from their trade terminals #nms-questions message

[modern pawn]

thanks

[swift sand]

in short, the trade commodity items they produce (part of the trade routes money making strategy, or of some settlement building upgrades)

[devout shuttle]

I want to upgrade my ship to over the limits. How do I get more than 3 upgraded without overload

[modern pawn]

thanks

[stuck berry]

Only with mods on PC.

Know that blueprint technology does not count towards the upgrade module limit

[swift sand]

well, some corvette parts will add techs that can add maneuverability, and some parts will give or take a bit of maneuverability. the devs also said that bulkier corvettes would be less agile/nimble than smaller ones

[boreal wolf]

Is there any data besides what the devs said?

[analog tangle]

Guys is there any way I can grow oxygen plants inside of cultivation chambers on my freighters?

[swift sand]

not sure, maybe try asking around #nms-corvette-discussion - for example i've noticed sometimes adding a part that's just cosmetic changes maneuverability by like .1.

[devout shuttle]

My ships manoeuvrability is really good considering it’s maxed out parts

954 to be exact

[swift sand]

we dont have any plant we can build that can be harvested to o2 - but you could build an o2 gas hotspot mine on any planet, and have all the o2 you'll ever need

[analog tangle]

Alright thx bro

[swift sand]

check !faq-units in #nms-commands , there's a mineral farming guide which also works for gases, just need to replace mineral with gas basically. as mentioned, all planets have o2 hotspots.

[gaunt radish]

how do i talk with these mfs to recruit em

[stuck berry]

Use your communicator

[bitter crypt]

As you approach them, you should be contacted on your communicator

From the quick menu

[gaunt radish]

no signal

[stuck berry]

Possibly fly away and approach again

[gaunt radish]

yeah jst did that and worked ty

are all frigates C class?

and become S class under ur command?

[bitter crypt]

no

[stuck berry]

No, their class is random

[gaunt radish]

oh i see

[stuck berry]

though they level up as they complete expeditions, which eventually raises their class

[gaunt radish]

so doesnt matter if u get a C class or S class they eventually become S class

just takes their time

[hot sentinel]

is an expedition 1 encounter?

[gaunt radish]

how many frigate slots do u have?

[hot sentinel]

or when it says 133 encounters to rank up does that mean 133 expeditions?

[stuck berry]

definitely not 133 expeditions

it should only take 55 expeditions to get a frigate to max level

[gaunt radish]

how many days of constantly sending them

would that take

[gaunt radish]

C > S right?

[stuck berry]

I believe so

!faq-frigates in #nms-commands may explain more

[inland ermine]

Each expedition has random amount of encounters

The longer the expedition, the more encounters

When you read the report, each position in the log is an encounter

[gaunt radish]

last question

max amount of frigates u can have?

[gray shoal]

30

[humble pendant]

Does any of the pet gadgets actually do anything or are they all mostly just decoration

[gaunt radish]

holy shit then im adopting all these frigates

[gaunt radish]

decoration

[silver bluff]

whats the fastest exocraft

[gaunt radish]

nomad

living frigates are expedition locked right?

[stuck berry]

Not at all #nms-commands message

[stuck berry]

Pilgrim by a lot

though it fails to traverse water

The Nomad can traverse water and land, but is slower

[modern pawn]

under what category does doomed jade planet fall?

[humble pendant]

isn’t it actually the pilgrim?

Ah mb already answered

[stuck berry]

"Green" #nms-commands message

Red/Green/Blue worlds have the same stuff as each other usually, just differing in biome and weather name

[gaunt radish]

[stuck berry]

!faq-portal @spiral path

[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.
  

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[woven atlas]

No i meant the npc for the glyphs

[stuck berry]

Random, but predetermined. They're only found on some extreme worlds. Not all extreme worlds have them, and extreme lush worlds never have them

Worlds that have storm crystals will have them litter the landscape every few hundred u

[gaunt radish]

yo grouchy

how do i turn these into 4 slots

for plants

when i got my freighter it came with some plant rooms which allowed 4 plants instead of just 2

[stuck berry]

At best, you can buy those from outlaw systems. If this is for Frigate Fuel, you can make settlements produce that once they have a leveled up landing pad

[gaunt radish]

oh bet ty

yeah i need fuel

[stuck berry]

Replace the room with the Double Cultivation Chamber

you can research it at the freighter bridge for a Salvaged Frigate Module #nms-questions message

[gaunt radish]

ohh

i see thanks

[woven atlas]

What is the chance of finding a traveler on a space station? (For glyphs)

[pastel light]

How can a moon be considered smallest planet

[stuck berry]

Because moons are the smallest form of celestial body in NMS

[pastel light]

Yea but it’s a moon not a planet

[stuck berry]

then ask Hello Games

because they decided it to be this way

!hg

[pastel light]

I’m not complaining I’m just wondering

[hushed saffron]

i'd hardly call this game realistic 😭

[stuck berry]

It's more of a terminology thing, they probably couldn't have crammed Celestial Body into the wonder name and have it look good and make sense immediately
or they just never thought that the distinction was necessary

[rich stratus]

Guys why is my Flotable platform sinking?

[stuck berry]

It shouldn't do that, so I'm not sure why it is

It should float just above/along the surface

[rich stratus]

I placed it down and it started to Tild Heavily and flip over for no reason

[woven atlas]

What is the chance of finding a traveler on a space station? (For glyphs)

[fresh birch]

Do they respawn? Or do I have to keep moving every storm?

[stuck berry]

Like other planetary objects, they eventually "respawn" once your save has had to discard the information pertaining to them, which could range from hours to days depending on how many things you have done since collecting them

[gray shoal]

Not high to say the least

[stuck berry]

so basically, don't expect them to

[fresh birch]

So if I have a huge surplus they’re okay to sell?

Or no?

[stuck berry]

If you need Units, yeah, but you could also use them to craft Warp Hypercores, which are the greatest warp fuel available

[swift sand]

suggestion: complete main storyline to easily learn the glyph set, or use the nexus eliminate hazardous flora mission type to locate your own graves for glyphs

[fresh birch]

I have 23 of those and a bunch of storm crystals

[stuck berry]

You can research the blueprint to craft Warp Hypercores at the Synthesis Laboratory aboard the Space Anomaly

[fresh birch]

Like 73 crystals right now

I unlocked all those recipes

[gaunt radish]

The research modules for the freighter can be obtained through expeditions right?

the frigate expedtions

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is one semi-consistent source of them

[gaunt radish]

there are multiple ways?

[stuck berry]

Yes #nms-questions message

[gaunt radish]

best way to get them is raiding civilian freighters?

[swift sand]

the only non-rng way is explorer and merchant guild envoys

[stuck berry]

It's one of the ways

[gaunt radish]

hmmm

well

i hope the korvex can forgive me

[swift sand]

but that will require guild standing, yeah - not related to system races

[pastel light]

What’s a miasmatic moon

[gaunt radish]

them freighters finna fall

[swift sand]

has fungal mould on the resource list, planet/moon of the toxic biome

[pastel light]

Sick

Alright well I found a good system for my main place

And it’s a korvax system

Robots are cool

[gaunt radish]

wait to raid the civilian freighters, it gotta be in an outlaw system?

[stuck berry]

it's better to be in one, as sentinel interceptors don't hunt you down for crimes and freighters spawn at their maximum frequency

[gaunt radish]

i see thanks

[stuck berry]

when you're done with the current two freighter fleets, pulse away until they despawn so that two more fleets will spawn

[merry rover]

How do I check if I’m in a different galaxy

I travelled to the core yesterday

But I spawned on a different planet

[stuck berry]

Open photo mode and look in the lower left, or open the galaxy map and look at the top left

[gaunt radish]

what are the cargos

thingies

im supposed to shoot

[merry rover]

It only has one galaxy there tho

[gaunt radish]

these?

[stuck berry]

Of freighters? They differ between freighters, but they're the boxes/cylindars/spheres/tubes that run along every freighter

[stuck berry]

No, that is the back area

[merry rover]

It only has one galaxy on the map

[stuck berry]

What do you mean by this?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you cannot see other galaxies than the current one you're in from the galaxy map

[swift sand]

e.g.

[merry rover]

Ohh

[gaunt radish]

oh they are separate to the freughter>

ah

[merry rover]

So if I went to the core that means I travelled to a different galaxy right

[stuck berry]

You are in Calypso Galaxy, the 3rd galaxy in the list and the 1st harsh galaxy

[merry rover]

Ohhh ok

[gaunt radish]

?

[merry rover]

What do the diff galaxies mean

Is calypso good for good planets to build a base on

[stuck berry]

If you like extreme storms and aggressive sentinels, yes?

[merry rover]

Hahahah no

What galaxy is good for building a base on?

[stuck berry]

A lush galaxy may be more desireable if you prefer lush worlds

as they have about twice as many lush worlds in their yellow systems compared to normal

[naive gate]

how can i get a sentinel capital ship

[swift sand]

ime, it also increases chances of seeing dissonant planets

[gaunt radish]

so having a bad on korvax, what happens?

[merry rover]

How do I choose what galaxy I go to

[swift sand]

a capital freighter; capital freighters only spawn in freighter rescue battle events, and only after completing 2 of them in a save; only 1 capital freighter design per inhabitedsystem

[stuck berry]

They're one of the two types of capital freighters that you come across during freighter battles after your second freighter battle #nms-questions message

[gritty shell]

so I just entered the essantum galaxy and went back to the euclid galaxy and all my known space stations are gone, is that supposed to happen?

[swift sand]

nah, a bug

when core warping, you cannot - that always leads to the next galaxy on the list

[naive gate]

how cani get the venator

[stuck berry]

Same way, that's just the other design that capital freighters come as

[merry rover]

Ahh ok

Is there a way to see what galaxies I have visited

[naive gate]

is this a sentiel?

[swift sand]

hmm, not really, unless you made a habit out of droppng base computers in each one for example, or took screenshots with the glyphs showing when you were there

[merry rover]

I’m pretty sure I skipped a galaxy

[gaunt radish]

hmm ive already made the korvax my mortal enemy with how many freighters ive made go kaboom but not a single

tech module

am i unlucky or

[swift sand]

hmm, might have used anomaly teleporter to get to a diff galaxy? core warping def always leads to the next on the list

[naive gate]

how cani pvp?

[gaunt radish]

#1418605454300549120

[stuck berry]

You can fly up to the pods and aim at them to see what they'll give before destroying them I believe

[swift sand]

yep

[stuck berry]

but the chances are quite low #nms-questions message

[hushed cave]

so, i know that the first freighter battle event will be guaranteed a system freighter, but i heard that the second one and subsequent events will always be capital class freighters? is that true?

[swift sand]

have to get closer than before, but yeah still possible - if it says nothing, then drops nanites

[stuck berry]

Not anymore, now those after your second battle will all be capital

[gritty shell]

anyway to fix it potentially?

[merry rover]

I used a portal and put 12 times to get as close as I can

[stuck berry]

aka, third and onwards capital

[gritty shell]

I put a bug report in

[merry rover]

I finished the main story

So maybe that took me to a diff galaxy

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of sorry

[stuck berry]

Well you entered the core of Hilbert Dimension

[harsh sluice]

where i can suggest something to the game?

[hushed cave]

i see, so third event will be all capital?

[swift sand]

https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[harsh sluice]

ty

[gritty shell]

ight, thank you for your help 🫡

[merry rover]

I chose to ||reset simulation|| would that have taken me to a diff galaxy

Ahh ok

[hushed cave]

@stuck berry how does the dreadnought event tie into that? are the non dreadnought battles just consisting of regular pirate fighters attacking instead of a whole dreadnought freighter as well?

[stuck berry]

You most likely ||chose the "normal" galaxy hologram at the end, which takes you to Hilbert Dimension from Euclid Galaxy||

[merry rover]

I can’t remember what I did

What one I chose

Can I check

[hushed cave]

thank you 👍

[stuck berry]

No, pirate dreadnoughts only appear during pirate dreadnought events. Pirate Dreadnoughts are the only kind of "pirate freighter" in NMS

[swift sand]

pirate fighters

[stuck berry]

ohhh

then yeah, non-dread freighter battles are exclusively pirate starships attacking a civ freighter

[hushed cave]

yeah, i meant like capital freighter vs fighters compared to capital freighters vs dreadnought freighter

thanks

[stuck berry]

Yes, capital freighters also replace the freighters being attacked by pirates in the regular battles, but they still are just being attacked by pirate starships

[naive gate]

how can i find ppl out in the galaxy

[gaunt radish]

going to hotspots, otherwise insanely small chance

or #1418605454300549120

[naive gate]

how do i find hotspots

[stuck berry]

By portaling to planets known to have communities of players, like those in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/1418605454300549120

[gaunt radish]

#1418605454300549120

[stuck berry]

also the weekend mission system always has other players in it

[gaunt radish]

[gaunt radish]

lot of thems

[fresh cloud]

Anyone know how well NMS runs on a laptop with a "Panther Lake"(Arc b390) Igpu?

[merry rover]

If I go to the community I rescued from sentinels which is in a diff galaxy how will I be able to get back to this galaxy ?

[stuck berry]

By teleporting back

to either a visited space station or a claimed base computer

it's advised to always have at least one base in each galaxy that you visit, to guarantee that you can return via a teleporter

[swift sand]

(and no need to have a teleporter built at a base to teleport to it, only to teleport out)

[gaunt radish]

grouch, the bad reputation with a faction doesnt have a cap?

[spiral path]

damn, this is all a simulation

[swift sand]

i've seen players over -1000 and didnt have any problems

[gaunt radish]

i currently have -153 reputation 😭

[gaunt radish]

damn

wont korvex stations instantly deploy sentinels on me?

[swift sand]

nah

[gaunt radish]

what does reputation do at all then

other than just the missions

[stuck berry]

Reduces cost of upgrades/reactors, makes ships help out when you're attacked by pirates in those systems

[gaunt radish]

does bad reputation make everything

insanely expensive

[swift sand]

nah

[stuck berry]

no

[gaunt radish]

still normal priceS?

[stuck berry]

there is no penalty for having negative standing

[silver pollen]

Oh really? Nice

[gaunt radish]

bit dumb

[gaunt radish]

you should get a living ship btw

[silver pollen]

It's expensive :(

[stuck berry]

I guess the only penalty is a lack of discounts, and the very few missions that require positive standing

[gaunt radish]

nuh uh

[merry rover]

And overwhelming guilt

[gaunt radish]

im doing mass genocide on robots

no guild behind it

[spiral path]

new galaxy, eissentam?

[swift sand]

first lush on the list, lots of lush biome planets

remember to drop and claim a base comp there in order to make sure you can get back there

[merry rover]

So it says I’ve got based on hilbert dimension and Euclid

That’s not the first two on the list

[opaque dock]

Am I able to see other people, Im not in a party, Idk how I see some people talm bout seeing others in their single player worlds

[stuck berry]

Yes, they are

[merry rover]

Oh yeah

Duhhh

[stuck berry]

If you have Multiplayer enabled in the network options, you will be automatically matchmade with other players who are in the same star system as you

[merry rover]

What is the first lush galaxy

[stuck berry]

the galaxy is just colossal, so having this happen without manually seeking it out is very very rare

[stuck berry]

Eissentam Galaxy, the 10th

[opaque dock]

So theres other galaxies than just Euclid?

And most people settle at the Galaxy Core?

[stuck berry]

Not really, that's up to each individual player

[humble pendant]

Do I have to get to the core to get to another galaxy “organically” - as in, no taxi ride etc

[stuck berry]

Yes, entering the core of one galaxy will take you to the next

[humble pendant]

And that’s the only way to do it entirely by myself right?

[stuck berry]

this is the primary way to reach other galaxies that doesn't involve other players

[stuck berry]

Yes. There's also ||the end of the main story, which allows you to skip to a galaxy type of your choice||

[outer mason]

how do i scrap corvettes

[humble pendant]

Hm. I went through the titles I already unlocked the other day and realised I apparently visited like 4-5 other galaxies and never realised it I could kick myself

[stuck berry]

Exchange them for another lifeform's starship

[merry rover]

||Is lush an option?||

[errant flame]

im trying to get inverted mirrors for this sentinal ship and the scanner no matter how far i go says too weak to scan a distance to find theese robots to drop the scanner how do i make it actually find a robot thing that drops them

[humble pendant]

Ah I already did that. Missed my shot 🥀

[outer mason]

i cant scrap them to get all the parts back??

[stuck berry]

Also keep in mind that titles are account-wide (across all saves)

[errant flame]

ive been wandering this planet and i cant find them only the sentinals that dont drop it

[stuck berry]

At best, strip them down to the bare necessities needed to still be finalized, then exchange it

[humble pendant]

There’s no way to find those space stations now if it was literally years ago right…

[stuck berry]

If the planet is very mountainous, possible seek a different dissonant world

[humble pendant]

It’s likely it was the save im currently on since I think it’s actually still the first I ever created

[stuck berry]

Correct, unless you made a base in those systems

[errant flame]

it is this planet is horrid trying to get around, will the crashed sentinal ship i found stay if i leave?

[stuck berry]

only your last ~73 space stations visited are saved

[humble pendant]

Oh well. I guess I’ll go the long way around then

[stuck berry]

Yes, it will

the mission will point you back to it

[humble pendant]

Oh yeah another question when someone posts coordinates for a crashed ship, is that limited in time or it’ll always be there?

[stuck berry]

Always there, forever

it's advised to disable multiplayer when going after coordinates for crashed ships/multi-tools, as another player claiming it in the same MP instance as you can tell your save that it's been claimed, making you have to wait for that to be forgotten by your save

[humble pendant]

Noted

[ornate glacier]

Does the fragile stem grow when the game is closed or do I have to have it open?

[stuck berry]

The mission's timer indeed progresses while offline

[ornate glacier]

Okay cool thanks

[merry rover]

Is there a quicker way to get to a lush galaxy

[stuck berry]

You could teleport to the featured base that's in Eissentam Galaxy

[merry rover]

Ahh yes

[white magnet]

guy is claiming he "just bought the starborn phoenix today" and i'm calling him out because it's an expedition reward. i'm not missing something here, am i?

like, there's no way he could've gotten it unless he used save editing or a service bot, right?

[wet sigil]

Or if someone who has the pheonix had traded it to them

[white magnet]

nah he showed footage of him claiming it from the quicksilver guy

so, he's lying?

[humble pendant]

Or just did the expedition and never claimed the reward before

[wet sigil]

The expedition reward is called "Starborn Runner", which uses the same model but different color schemes

[white magnet]

i doubt he did considering he hasn't said he did the expedition, despite me literally bringing up the fact that it was how you get it

[wet sigil]

Or possibly a mod, I believe there are mods that can instantly unlock those ships

[white magnet]

yeah i don't even care that he's doing it, i'm just calling him out for lying

[wet sigil]

But getting it from quicksilver synthesiser indicate to me that he enabled the ability to get the phoenix, rather than simply giving himself the pheonix

it's not possible via normal means as of now, though

[white magnet]

i know that no man's app can unlock expedition rewards, so he could've done that

[silver pollen]

How do I find a freighter? I'm searching in pirate systems but I can't find any needing rescue

[white magnet]

keep warping, you'll eventually get one

[wet sigil]

Do you have Ghost in the machine main quest done?

[silver pollen]

I don't think so?

[white magnet]

there's your issue

[merry rover]

Do different coloured star mean anything

[white magnet]

different stellar metals, and purple stars can have gas giants, super deep ocean planets, and i think another type

[silver pollen]

How do I get the right quest?

Where is it in the story

[white magnet]

it's one of the main 3

[merry rover]

I need a system that has good planets to build a base on

What colour is recommended

[silver pollen]

What specifically?

[white magnet]

main 3 story quests.

[silver pollen]

Which one.

[white magnet]

ghosts in the machine

[wet sigil]

Screenshot the top half of your quest log

[silver pollen]

Can't get a screenshot so I took a pic with my phone

[white magnet]

that one

alone admist the stars

[silver pollen]

Okay and when do I get to ghost in the machine

[gritty shell]

is there any way to get a ship back when you went to go get resources to repair it and you dont remember the cords?

[white magnet]

it becomes ghosts in the machine at some point or sum idk. i just know that's the icon for the ghosts in the machine

[wet sigil]

@ancient vault Please refrain from posting non-nms related material here

[gritty shell]

nvm I got it

[harsh bough]

I’m looking for a solar ship with the same design as this one i seen in a video does anyone have a planet with them in it by chance

[stuck berry]

I've found a few, all three of them have square sails

[harsh bough]

Ty so much I wanna make my own solar ship and I like wings of it

[silver pollen]

I can't find where to hire an overseer for my base. Please help.

I know it's on space stations but I'm looking around and talking to NPCs and nothing

[stuck berry]

Track the mission "Expanding the Base" and follow where it tells you to go

[silver pollen]

It tells me to go to my base.

Where I cannot hire an overseer

[stuck berry]

What does it say to do in the lower right?

[silver pollen]

The mission says "hire a base overseer"

[stuck berry]

In the mission tooltip? It should say much more than that

[silver pollen]

"hire staff at space stations" too

Idk where they are cuz they ain't here

[stuck berry]

Can you show a screenshot of this?

if the step says that, it should have a waypoint on exactly where you hire the overseer at. Despite the mission text, you must hire a specific lifeform that the mission points to

[silver pollen]

Mission icon says on my base

[stuck berry]

Like the mission icon is at your base? or just on the system it's in?

[silver pollen]

On the teleport screen. It's on my base.

[stuck berry]

That's because the objective is in the same system as the base.

Go there, then follow the waypoint

[stuck berry]

Yes, go to that system

oh, you're in it?

[silver pollen]

I'm in that system yeah

[stuck berry]

and no waypoint is anywhere?

[silver pollen]

I'll try following it but it's not pointing to an npc

[winged panther]

I just started a game literally with starter ship no upgrades no nothing I has someone give me 500 mil units what do I do with them first thing

On xbox btw

[silver pollen]

Oh now it works. Of course.

[low shoal]

Spend them on inventory upgrades. You have 2 guaranteed per system, one on the space station and one on the Anomaly. Grab the station one first

[silver pollen]

Corvette. It'll be a simple one, but it's a really good ship

[winged panther]

Should I not buy a freighter this early?

[silver pollen]

Freighter comes free later on

Also you can't get freighters until you finish a quest (that I am currently grinding to get done lol)

[stuck berry]

That's just the tutorial

[winged panther]

Ok so basically just inventory upgrades like more slots?

[stuck berry]

after the tutorial mission Awakenings, they start spawning around you and you can just buy one if you get enough units

[silver pollen]

Wait so I'm still in the goddamn tutorial??? I was told I gotta finish ghost in the machine

[stuck berry]

That's to get the free one

Ghosts in the Machine is the second mission of the main story, not including the tutorial mission Awakenings

[silver pollen]

I just want a beeg ship

[winged panther]

So inventory upgrades are only more slots right

[silver pollen]

More slots good

[indigo lion]

just to make sure. all your stuff breaks everytime you enter a new galaxy right?

[wet sigil]

And more tech slots too, you just have click on an empty tech slots first before confirming

[hybrid rose]

Best way to FIND triple S tier creatures

[wet sigil]

only your equipped and active stuff, if you have multiple starships, only your primary is damaged, same with tools. some techs are also made of vibranium and unbreakable, such as the corvette photon cannon

[stuck berry]

Only via core warp/||main story ending||

[indigo lion]

wb my 30 exosuit modules. do i gotta remove basically all of em?

[wet sigil]

either hit up as many planets as possible, or use community resources like NMSCE or perhaps #nms-fauna where some most their triple s findings

[wet sigil]

Yes. For tool and starship you can simply equip one you are not using and have minimal techs on them

[indigo lion]

ty. so i just pop em all in my bag and requip on th other side.

[merry rover]

How do I compare this with the freighter I have freighter

[stuck berry]

Press the "Compare" button

[merry rover]

Ah

I thought it would have just automatically transferred

I saved the ship

But it won’t give it to me for free

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is normal

they are only free until you own a freighter

[indigo lion]

JUST MY LUCK. im getting jumped by pirates as im going in the land in this completely defenceles ship XDDD

[harsh bough]

Can I use an engine from a different type of ship on the solar ship I’m making?

[bitter crypt]

I don't believe so

[merry rover]

Can my companions follow me around

[bitter crypt]

Yeah, they should

[merry rover]

Ohhh I see

[harsh bough]

Ty

[bitter crypt]

I gotchu

[mossy cape]

Interceptor cannon or infra knife?

[wet sigil]

Do damaged tech still confer adjacency bonus to others?

[wet sigil]

try both, I prefer infraknife

[harsh bough]

Goats fr all of you

[small dirge]

why are my freighters multiplying lmao

weirdest bug ive seen in the game

[wet sigil]

It's a bug that should be resolved in an upcoming update

[indigo lion]

Alr im on my final choice.. can someone remind me what color corresponds with what type?

[merry rover]

What happens if I kill someone

Do I get their shit

[bitter crypt]

no

[stuck berry]

Green for lush, blue for empty, red for harsh and teal for normal #nms-questions message

[harsh bough]

Spend time looking idk what I’m looking for but I need the the Crescent type sails here the address in the picture is a Normal system

[indigo lion]

my 25 hour timer on the last step of my void egg reset when i went into the new galaxy 😭 i didnt just break the mission did i?

[stuck berry]

I don't think so, but not sure

[harsh bough]

Why do the stats keep changing? Is it random or do I wait?

[iron coral]

It does that

[wheat cove]

Until you hit "Assemble", the stats are not known, so they just fluctuate

[iron coral]

Don’t think about it too hard

Just look at cool ship

[stuck berry]

it's just visual, too

the stats of the constructed ship are deterministic based on the parts used, the class made and the fabricator used

[wheat cove]

When you assemble the ship, the random seed is set, which fixes base stats, the number of tech+cargo slots, supercharge slot layout and starting tech modules

It'll be different at each station

(but the same every time at a given station for the same set of parts)

[wet sigil]

Anyone know if damaged technology still confer adjacency bonus? I have made my mind about one of my jetpack techs and will be going through a galaxy core to damage it

[stuck berry]

I doubt it does, this could be easily tested though

with like remembrance, or the starship trails

[wet sigil]

Thanks

[graceful otter]

This game is honestly has the worst totorials of any game

It tells you what to do but never tells you how

[unborn brook]

It shouldn't be this hard to find a common flying always active creature.

[wet sigil]

I always have the 5 minute rule: if in 5 minutes I don't find new Fauna to scan, I immediately leave and go to another planet

[unborn brook]

No I mean it feels broken ... this i happening quite a bit across biome and different systems.

Iike i'll have 2 left and i'll find a Nocturnal in the day, and then the common always will be unfindable.

[calm wasp]

Grow my new Companion from egg?

[unborn brook]

what could go wrong?

[exotic trail]

This may be stupid to ask but do different bases on different environments of planets affect the type and number of base computer archives found?

Or does the primary species affect the type found?

[grave sun]

i built a big base and its raining inside my base

why 🙁

theres no holes or gaps

[bitter crypt]

if you build a room too large, then it will consider it still outside

Try making rooms, or making it smaller

I don't remember the exact max dimensions

[grave sun]

ahh okay

[bitter crypt]

Best of luck!

[grave sun]

tyy 🙂

prolly just gonna relocate to a paradise world lmao

[bitter crypt]

sure thing!

[naive gate]

why do i have so many beams

[stuck berry]

Because you placed multiple weapons for it to fire from

[naive gate]

i lny plasced like 2 of those lasers tho

[hushed cave]

would yall say 23k dps infraknife with default shields + 1 b class shield module upgrade (7% increase) is enough to fight and take the pirate dreadnought

[naive gate]

bro default ship with no upgrades is probably enough

[hushed cave]

oh really? saw some guy on youtube say you should have a minimum of around 40k dps

seems like overkill though

[naive gate]

oh idk \

[stuck berry]

You can easily take out a pirate dread with the default radiant pillar

[naive gate]

i did it with the default ship

[hushed cave]

😂

[naive gate]

i can help u i have a rly good corvette

[hushed cave]

i swear i get attacked by pirates every new system i enter

[hushed cave]

i still gotta get my conflict scanner, the sentinel mind thing is a bitch to get

[stuck berry]

just takes knowledge of what to focus on

[naive gate]

damn

[hushed cave]

that’s fire

[naive gate]

i can give u the conflict rscanner 2 if u want

[hushed cave]

oh shit fr?

bro that’d be amazing

[naive gate]

yes

addme

[stuck berry]

You cannot give packaged tech to other players though

[hushed cave]

maybe the materials

[stuck berry]

at best, you could give the items required to install it yeah

[hushed cave]

idk

[naive gate]

yea

KGXA-WAWT-91MTC

[hushed cave]

@naive gate here lemme shoot u a dm

[naive gate]

i just got a new ship and i dont think it saved

what do i do

[stuck berry]

open the game and find out if it saved

[subtle perch]

Are there any benefits to making a base on nexus mission planet/galaxy?

[stuck berry]

no

And I believe all weekend missions take place in Euclid Galaxy

[wet sigil]

I never do because those are guaranteed to be crowded

[subtle perch]

I’m kinda debating is if should make a activated indium farm, since I’ve just unlocked red star

This week nexus mission is activated indium

Nms most of them are claimed

[naive gate]

how can i give the different color boosters to a friend?

[stuck berry]

Like the Starship Trail blueprint tech? Can't.

[naive gate]

yea

[stuck berry]

They must unlock the blueprint for themselves, then install it for themselves

[naive gate]

even if i like craft it in their ship and trade it back to them

[stuck berry]

None of the technology is transferred, it's all deleted #nms-legacy-ships message

[naive gate]

oh

[stuck berry]

Doing the "ship trading glitch" results in the ship being treated as if it's a completely new ship, with it's inventory and class all rerolled #nms-legacy-ships message

[naive gate]

ok

[daring palm]

Anyone know which of these would be better and why?

[unborn brook]

ITS FREE!

[daring palm]

😕

Huh?

[unborn brook]

I mean take it and you can figure it out as you go ... gimme a sec to find the multitool table.

[daring palm]

OHhh oki ty, i have no idea how weapon values work

I'm confused as my current one has 3 supercharged slots where as the new one only has 2, but my current ones value is only half of that of the new one

[stuck berry]

Both have 3, the second one just has it in a slot that isn't revealed yet

[daring palm]

Ohhh, i thought they were still viewable as a supercharged slot even if it was damaged

[unborn brook]

the royal will do a little more damage than the rifle.

but not much

[stuck berry]

Not damaged, it's in a slot that hasn't been unlocked entirely

[daring palm]

Oh so its not hidden under one of the damaged slots but a slot i have to upgrade the tool to unlock?

[stuck berry]

Yes, by adding more slots to it

[daring palm]

How can you tell what a multitool is? they all just look scifi spacey to me

[daring palm]

Ohh i see, thank you

Is it good if 2 supercharged slots are next to eachother?

Doesnt that super boost the affect?

[unborn brook]

yes very good

ideally the closer they are together the better you'll be able to tailor the tool to however your want to lay it out ... for damage, mining, scanning, etc.

[daring palm]

This is very useful to know, thank you :)

I'll stick to my oriuginal multitool then seeing as it has2 supercharged next to eachother

[subtle perch]

Can you see save beacon in the galaxy map? Or is it only based on computer?

[unborn brook]

Nav Markers are kind of bugged right now ... it think they are scheduled to be fixed in the next update though.

[unborn brook]

wait not on the galaxy map ... on the system map yes.

[stuck berry]

You can only see save beacons' waypoints while physically in the system

[daring palm]

Oops read that wrong sorry haha)

[stuck berry]

Claimed bases will show on the galaxy map, as well as the teleport list to teleport to at any time

[chilly juniper]

Never knew that this was a feature in the game, seems pretty cool to me. Is it worth it to take on a settlement that brings in less than it costs to maintain? Like, is it pretty easy to grow a settlement beyond the maintaince cost?

[stuck berry]

Yes, all settlements start out like that

and the cost isn't for you to pay

you make decisions over time to eventually make it become profitable, at which point it starts producing things for you

[timber jacinth]

is there any way where i can give my friend a trail package

[chilly juniper]

Ah ok cool

[stuck berry]

Like a Starship Trail? No. They must unlock that blueprint for themselves and install it themselves

[subtle perch]

Animal is the onl;y one you can 100% scan on a planet to give you bonus ninitem, plant and mineral doesn’t do that right?

[stuck berry]

Correct

[subtle perch]

So with scanning multitool mod, I should target animal, then plants, and basically ignore mineral bonus?

[unborn brook]

its a good order yeah ... but eventually you'll get a good tool with all three.

[subtle perch]

What’s a good percentage to aim for? I think 12k% is the max, so around 10-12?

[unborn brook]

i've never seen a 12k one

in an SC slot maybe

this is around 10.8 in a supercharged slot.

Raw

never seen 11 or higher

[stuck berry]

Yeah, they go up to 11k

12k not possible raw

[unborn brook]

You'll get the highest ones from the trader in the station at pirate systems, and from ships/traders that land directly on the planet's surface.

they'll be X classs

at first they will look like junk ... you just have to buy enough of them for the RNG to kick in.

[chilly juniper]

Can I build a portal at a settlement?

[stuck berry]

If you mean a Teleporter, one comes with your Overseer Office

[chilly juniper]

Ahh ok

[unborn brook]

it should be one of the first buildings you get tasked to create.

[dusty thicket]

The first in all of mine

[stuck berry]

Yes, always the first in all

[subtle perch]

Is there a way to change settlement during the tutorial missions?

I don’t like the vykeen settlement

[naive gate]

for a daily driver to do like mi ssions and stuff should i use a corvette, exotic, living, fighter, hauler, shuttle, solar, explorer

[hushed cave]

dreadnought freighter events only trigger after ive completely "ghosts in the machine"?

[subtle perch]

I personally use solar/intercepter

[stuck berry]

You can still get another, up to 4, while A Trace of Metal is tied to it

[stuck berry]

Yes, as freighter battles can't occur before your first which is scripted within that

[hushed cave]

so i can do the regular freighter rescues, but not the freighter vs freighter rescues?

[stuck berry]

For your first two freighter battles you encounter, yes, after the first one that's scripted as a part of Ghosts in the Machine occurs

[hushed cave]

i see. thanks

cuz i already did two freighter rescues but i havent done ghosts against the machine yet

[stuck berry]

If you've encountered any, then you're past the required point

so as long as you also own a freighter, you can now encounter pirate dreads

[hushed cave]

oh wonderful

yeah my current quest is ghosts in the machine so idk how that worked

[stuck berry]

The point that starts your first battle is during ghosts in the machine

not at it's end

[naive gate]

how do i get a prefix

[stuck berry]

What, like a player title in-game?

[naive gate]

yea

[stuck berry]

You may apply them at any Appearance Modifier

in the Banner section

[hushed cave]

basically as soon as i own a freighter, the ghosts in the machine requirement for pirate dreads is fulfilled?

[stuck berry]

Yes, as it's not the mission that's required, it's the "encountered at least 2 battles so far" part

in which case freighter battles don't ever occur before the scripted one that's a part of Ghosts in the Machine

after that one, they keep happening forever after a cooldown of 3 hrs and 5 warps

though once you can encounter pirate dreads, 20% of outlaw systems and 10% of tier 3 conflict systems ignore the cooldown and spawn a pirate dread event every time they're warped to

[hushed cave]

oh that’s interesting, i didn’t know it was part of ghosts i just saw the requirement for freighters and wanted one so i morphed 5 times

[gaunt radish]

where do i see my expeditions inform

of my frigates

[stuck berry]

Frigate expeditions? At their individual command rooms assigned to that expedition

[gaunt radish]

gotcha thanks grouch

[stuck berry]

You debrief expeditions there, and you can view/manage frigates from the Fleet Management terminal in the bridge

[gaunt radish]

figured, ty grouch

this freight content is so fun
