[subtle perch]

One thing I love about interceptors, I don’t ever have to worry about warp fuel

[wet sigil]

Multiple storage of what kind?

[pliant hill]

the big lockers

[subtle perch]

TIL: you can walk around atlas

[subtle perch]

Do quest to unlock or unlock in atlas

[wet sigil]

You can unlock the storage containers for your base in the anomaly, but bear in mind that the game has three kinds of containers that has number label on them (base, corvette and freighter base), all containers that share the same number also share their xontents

[gaunt radish]

i remember this being asked

before but

well

me asking it infact

but what was the best way to get the tech modules of freighters?

[subtle perch]

Destroy pirate freighter, derelict freighter

[wet sigil]

Kill freiggters

Freighters

[gaunt radish]

pirate > civilian?

[wet sigil]

Derelict freighter is far too expensive to be wasting it on freighter techs IMHO

[subtle perch]

Wait I thought the whole point of derelict is for mods?

[gaunt radish]

what is a derelict?

[wet sigil]

Cargo bulkheads

[subtle perch]

Check bot

[subtle perch]

Oh…

[wet sigil]

That's the only thing that's worth spending units for the emergency scanners

[gaunt radish]

whats the command?

[buoyant terrace]

Are paradise planets that are bubbles rare? It has “corrupted blood” weather and its earthlike

[subtle perch]

Honestly I never use freighter storage, especially after I unlocked material beam

[subtle perch]

Seems like a beautiful planet, take a good pic and submit it to nms-photo mode

[wet sigil]

#nms-commands message

[buoyant terrace]

Okay! But, it has bubbles does it make it rarer

[subtle perch]

Yes

[wet sigil]

No idea, bubbles are planets I avoid

[bronze lintel]

Is it possible to find crashed S class ships through the distress beacon thing?

[wet sigil]

But yes, bubbles are a rare phenomenon

[subtle perch]

Yes, but good luck hunting

[wet sigil]

Yes, assuming you are doing it in a T2 or higher economy system

[buoyant terrace]

Whats crazy is i found it in Sezviktorew, which is the 127th galaxy and its not a lush galaxy - its a empty galaxy

[bronze lintel]

I've been searching in a T3 Gek system.

[subtle perch]

You’ve been repeating that for the past hour

[buoyant terrace]

oopsie

[wet sigil]

Matter beam is exactly why I maxed out freighter cargo, the sharships version is much less useful by comparison

[golden bough]

Are there lots of bosses and things to fight in this game? I'm debating if i should buy it or not

[subtle perch]

But then why wont one just use all 10 storage boxes?

[subtle perch]

This game is less combat focused more exploration focused

[wet sigil]

There are no real bosses in this game, there are a few things that are big and may catch people off guard but nothing that a maxed out ship can't trivialise

[golden bough]

Gotcha

Whats the end goal, is it like a trophy game?

[wet sigil]

Because i find it a pita to constantly switch boxes, and I sometimes stuck my freighter in specific stars for niche reasons

[wet sigil]

No, it's a purely exploration game, you basically try to find whatever you want to find, be it a ship of specific design, whatever

[subtle perch]

Building the best spaceship, building base, be Pokémon master, grind

[golden bough]

Interesting

[subtle perch]

But yea gameplay loop is mostly fly to one planet, and see what’s interesting

[golden bough]

Sweet thanks for lmk

[subtle perch]

Does save beacon ever despawn?

[gaunt radish]

Wsp yall, command/message related to unlocking purple stars?

[wet sigil]

#nms-commands message

[gaunt radish]

thanks frosty

[blazing tusk]

No. But there is a bug where sometimes an old save beacon will become invisible and impossible to interact with, even though it still leaves behind a navigation marker

[subtle perch]

That’s all I need. Just placing a save beacon at every harmonic camp I found

[gaunt radish]

what fills this up

[blazing tusk]

I have a few I left at sentinel pillars and portals from early in my save. Tried to go back and remove them as clutter, but can't interact with them

[gaunt radish]

i just randomly got it to 95%

but idk how to get it to fully charged

[gaunt radish]

its the opponent's mark thing from the atlas quest btw

the thing u charge with nanites?

[signal cedar]

You charge it with discoveries

fauna, flora, planets, systems

however there is a bug that causes it to get stuck at 95%

!hg

feel free to nag HG to check it out and fix it

[golden badger]

Need some info/help. Last night logoff 100%. This morning when i enter my base my teleport is missing and medium refinary. The wires still run to them.... bug and how to work arround without exit system. my son had same last night.. he fly to trader station return (is even in teleport list) and with return at his base teleport back again. Known bug?

[hushed cave]

where can i find mercenary guilds to sell my pirate transponders

[tropic ginkgo]

each region has envoys from one of three guilds
if you don't see the envoy you want in your current system, warp into a different region

see regions on the galaxy map

[hushed cave]

sounds good, thanks

[dense sapphire]

I made my first corvetye and is so ugly

I will show it onn8th

May

Rn i study for exams

[neat yarrow]

is there a limit on corvette or u can build multiple ?

[signal cedar]

you can have multiple

in theory each of your 12 active starship slots can be used for a corvette

[neat yarrow]

Okay and uhh how good are exploration specialist ?

Like u can earn from trade but what is exploration specialist good for?

Like what do u get in return?

Anyone ?

And also what’s the squadron slot for ?

[dense sapphire]

How to travel to other galaxy

[tropic ginkgo]

warp through the core of your current one (will put you into the next in line), get taxied by another player (or join one that's in the galaxy you want to be in), or use the Anomaly to teleport to a featured base in that galaxy

[dense sapphire]

Well in in euclid galaxy

2hats the next in line

[wet sigil]

Hilbert dimension

[neat yarrow]

.

-_-

Can anyone answer my question ?

[tropic ginkgo]

people are here helping other players on their own free time, demanding an answer is rude and in poor taste
be patient or better yet, proactive and try to spend some effort either using discord search or google search to help you get an answer

[neat yarrow]

I just asked if someone can answer my question ?

[subtle perch]

What’s a specialist?

[neat yarrow]

Where did i demand ?

I apologise if that felt like a demand but i didnt

I just asked

[neat yarrow]

It was a question so i dont see what is rude in that ?

[gaunt radish]

||im in the part where i choose the stuff i want for the purple star system, in the cargo Y or whatever is called in english, what does each option do?||

spoiler alert ^

[worldly sable]

I'm still pretty new to the game, is there a way to share your discoveries with other players in the same game ? Like can they see the name I gave to a plant or an animal?

[gaunt radish]

if someone finds the systems u found

[neat yarrow]

I apologise if you misunderstood my question

[subtle perch]

If you upload it in discovery tab everyone can see it

[gaunt radish]

they can see what u named the planets and such

[gaunt radish]

^

[worldly sable]

Whaaaat

This game is crazy

[gaunt radish]

ive found systems people has found before

funny names

[subtle perch]

It’s technically a mmorpg

[neat yarrow]

Lol

[gaunt radish]

just gigantic map

[neat yarrow]

With big aah map

[gaunt radish]

each system is like

2m square light years i think?

galaxy*

and theres 256

tho most populated galaxy is def euclid

by obvious reasons

[unreal crown]

Hey guys, can i ask about scrap the ship

[subtle perch]

Technically 256 galaxies, so 256 maps

[gaunt radish]

any1?

[neat yarrow]

Well i can spend some effort in finding it my own but isnt this channel made to answer questions ? (Genuine question , not trying to fight okay ? ) @tropic ginkgo

[neat yarrow]

Yes u can scrap ur ship

[gaunt radish]

what coral says is that u shouldnt demand answers

[gaunt radish]

^

[neat yarrow]

I just asked 😭but okay i apologise

[unreal crown]

i know but i am not sure should i scarp these 2 abadoned ships ( class B and C )

[subtle perch]

If you dont like the design scrap it

[neat yarrow]

Just repair its core stuff and scrap it

[subtle perch]

If you like the design you could always upgrade it

[unreal crown]

oh ok

[neat yarrow]

U will earn more money

[neat yarrow]

Yos

[neat yarrow]

Was trying to be expressive but still i am sorry if it felt rude

[gaunt radish]

allg

[subtle perch]

We should just move on from that topic

Stop repeating

[neat yarrow]

Just saying

I dont want to be on a bad side of someone

[gaunt radish]

its allg

dw

[neat yarrow]

Mhm

[gaunt radish]

yo jay, if the purple system im making, i choose the animal Y option, it just makes animals hella aggresive or also makes their combat stats/looks way better?

[subtle perch]

No idea, I havnt looked into Pokémon system yet

[neat yarrow]

Holdup u can make systems ?

[gaunt radish]

torment makes general resources better right?

[gaunt radish]

just the purple system

idk

at least thats what im seeing

ur 1st purple system perhaps

[subtle perch]

I’m still on red system T.T

[gaunt radish]

idk if u can just make a purple system whenever u want or its just ur 1st purple sun

ill find out ig

frostburn prob knows

wsp frost

[wet sigil]

||You never 'make' any stars, the choices presented to you are flavor, the game but picks the nearest star that matches your choices, but it's picked from pre-existing stars||

[gaunt radish]

whoops

||are you locked to only 1 purple star or whenever u want another one, u get the choices again to turn a random system matching said stuff into a purple star?||

[wet sigil]

||You get this one incidence, because once you complete this quest, every purple star is immediately opened up to you, thus why most quest guides on this quest recommend you to stay until you complete the quest to prevent you losing track of the unlocked star||

[gaunt radish]

||wait wym "you to stay until you complete the quest to prevent you losing track of the unlocked star"||

oh i see what u mean now

nvm

[neat yarrow]

lol i was confused before like wha i became god or what to be able to make a system

[neat yarrow]

.

[gaunt radish]

you can recruit

pilots for example from space stations and such

those randoms u see

[neat yarrow]

do normal pilot countr

coount* or u need specific once?

[gaunt radish]

and everytime u get into the fight they show up and "help" you

[gaunt radish]

wym

[neat yarrow]

okay thanks

[gaunt radish]

its just the same dudes u can buy their ship

u get a new dialogue option to recruit them

and u see their stats

[neat yarrow]

ahhh okay okay

[gaunt radish]

if you want them to have a specific ship, you can trade ur ship for theirs and when u recruit them they will have ur ship

the ship u gave them

tho tech upgrades from the ship u give them dont stay

[fallow maple]

whats the point in uploading my base

[gaunt radish]

people can visit it

and see it

[fallow maple]

fair

can they steal from my farm?

[gray shoal]

Only 1 base upload per planet tho

[neat yarrow]

thank you i didnt get it but thanks . let it be , not doing the squadron thing rn

[gray shoal]

Uploading other base will overrite the upload

[neat yarrow]

wait wdym

so only 1 base upload per system , right?

[gray shoal]

Only one base will be visible

[neat yarrow]

okay got it thanks

[neat yarrow]

.

[gray shoal]

To recruit pilot npc with their ships to help in space fights. They dont doo much tho. Mostly they get in your aim.

[gray shoal]

What exploration specialist ? Frigate?

[neat yarrow]

also uhh when i try to recruit it says squadron full , i got no one ? why is it showing that

[neat yarrow]

yes

sorry if i forgot to mention that

[gaunt radish]

u have to buy a

the slot

back in the freighter

[neat yarrow]

aaaaaaah okay okay thanks

[subtle perch]

For frigate, 5 of each

[gaunt radish]

u can have up to 4 dudes

[gray shoal]

No free slots to recruit. Unlock it on freighter from bridge terminal. Fleet menagement

[neat yarrow]

no my question was what are they good for , what do they do ? and what do they give in return

[neat yarrow]

thanks thanks

[subtle perch]

If you talk to the guy standing next to the hologram at freighter, you can send them on expedition for loot

[neat yarrow]

but like astaroth said , they get in your aim . so uhh are they worth having ? ( i mean in squadron)

[gray shoal]

There are frigate missions that have trade/fight/explore/mining character and specialist frigates will do better in those missions.

[gaunt radish]

they never bothered me

so its ur choice

they take aggro which is nice

yooo bk

wsp my dude

[swift sand]

if you're still early on, i'd say that there's better things to spend nanites on

[gray shoal]

Bk ❤️

[swift sand]

hi kafuo, asta 🤗

[neat yarrow]

i just wanna earn moneh thats why i asked

[gaunt radish]

squads are very extra

[neat yarrow]

so if i want that i should just focus on traders right?

[subtle perch]

#bot-spam message

[gaunt radish]

just "oh cool" and u forget bout them till u see them flying around while u re shooting down mfs

and remember "oh right i have those dudes"

[gaunt radish]

wait u re talking about frigates?

im talking bout squads

[swift sand]

with frigates you mean? +exploration frigate will give the fleet you assign it to, more exploration score. more exploration score, less chance to fail exploration type encounters (which can pop even on non-exploration expeditions)

[neat yarrow]

i am talking in both topics

[gaunt radish]

personally i just have a like a little of every class

[neat yarrow]

damn okay okay

[gaunt radish]

they re cheap as hell anyways

[gaunt radish]

unless they are S rank

they bite a big chunk of ur wallet if they are S class

20m minimum

[neat yarrow]

yea i do that just , the traders are earning very less , thats why i asked

[subtle perch]

https://youtu.be/R2JGADoFofk?si=7Ahz1FUqBLpRRAGd

[neat yarrow]

so i should just recruit more traders and then send them on a expeditions together will i earn more money like that ?(last question , sorry if i am annoying yall with stupid questions)

[lone dagger]

How do I get salvaged frigate modules easily

[subtle perch]

Watch the guide

[neat yarrow]

okay

and also guys sorry if my questions were a bit too stupid and annoying

[lone dagger]

How do I get more tech slots on my corvette

[neat yarrow]

😅

[subtle perch]

Upgrade in space station

[lone dagger]

I did its now a s tier but I did not get more slots

[spice veldt]

im so broke and just started how should i make money

[subtle perch]

#bot-spam message

[spice veldt]

needto buy wiring loom

[swift sand]

starship outfitting terminal in any station, remember to switch to the tech inventory before applying the upgrade. remember that nr of tech slots is limited per class. type !faq-inventory in #nms-commands , follow starship header link for more infos on storage aug drop sources

[subtle perch]

Click my link

[swift sand]

if you're really early on, buried tech module farming and selling some salvaged data will be enough but for more alternatives check out what @subtle perch linked as well

@subtle perch instead of #bot-spam which is all the way down there, you can also use #nms-commands now 🙂

[spice veldt]

ty wasnt sure if i should sell them cuz ik they can upgrade stuff

[subtle perch]

I’ve linked it directly to unit section

[swift sand]

yeah, that's gonna be a thing - but just a few wont hurt in the long run

[subtle perch]

Also why do we have two bot channel….

[swift sand]

what i'm saying is that you could have run the same !faq-units command in #nms-commands channel - didnt have to scroll all the way down to #bot-spam to run it

[swift sand]

#nms-commands is for nms related commands, #bot-spam for everything else

[subtle perch]

Gotcha

[torpid vine]

i cant play with my friend whos on xbox cause it keeps on saying version mismatch even though we have the same version

how do i fix this?

[subtle perch]

Do you get portal glyphs from atlas mission? I thought you gave to visit grave or something

[torpid vine]

is this to me?

[subtle perch]

Are you both on Xbox? Xbox version and pc doesn’t match

[wheat cove]

You get them by warping on the "The Purge" quest, or by visiting traveller graves

[torpid vine]

it worked beforer but now it wont work

[subtle perch]

Xbox version is a bit behind pc. Sadly you’re gonna have to wait

[torpid vine]

oh alright

[wheat cove]

PC got an update yesterday; #nms-commands message

[lone dagger]

Can you fly into a sun?

[wheat cove]

No

[hushed saffron]

Regrettably not

[subtle perch]

So the Artemis path? So far I have 9 glyph, is that all from the quest?

[wheat cove]

Yes, the Artemis path. There are 16 glyphs in total.

[latent goblet]

||So if I don't collect the glyphs or visit graves...I won't trigger the Purge? I can warp lets say 20 times and not trigger the purge? Is it 10 warps? I'm at 8 but I only visited a couple graves||

[lone dagger]

How do I get these creatures for these pokemon fight i think xeno arena

[hushed saffron]

Literally any creature you tame can be used

[latent goblet]

I believe you gotta -gets pokemon hat-

Collect them

Physically

[hushed saffron]

You can adopt companions by feeding creatures creature pellets and interacting with them

[lone dagger]

oh ok how to i tame them

[subtle perch]

Creature scanner can show you their stats before you tame them

[latent goblet]

Your pets/companions, right?

[lone dagger]

How do i get creature palets

[wheat cove]

||The Purge itself offers you the choice, there's no reason not to collect all the glyphs||

[hushed saffron]

You can craft them in your inventory for a small amount of carbon i think. I dont remember if you need to unlock the recipe anywhere

[subtle perch]

I think I’m getting a glyph each time I visit atlas?

[wheat cove]

You craft them by clicking an empty slot in your inventory

[wheat cove]

Every time you warp, or visit a grave

[latent goblet]

||Well I never knew TOO collect them lol nor that the graves are important. I just read on here a few days ago you lose your starship and multi-tool at 10 warps so switch to ones you don't mind losing.||

[hushed saffron]

When you look at a creature on a planet an interaction popup should appear which lets you feed them. Interacting with them lets you adopt them

Note that aquatic creatures, tunneling creatures, and high flying creatures cannot be tamed without the use of mods

[latent goblet]

Speaking of the companions

Can they...die? lol

Like if i forget or don't play for awhile

[hushed saffron]

They are invincible

[latent goblet]

ALSO ALSO

[wheat cove]

||That's not from warping, that's from going to a new galaxy (which is either a quest choice or by going to the core itself)||

[latent goblet]

Why did they have to put the action to remove a companion from your roster "Abandon"

Like that's some Neopet nonsense right there lol

The GUILT

[hushed saffron]

How could you 😢

[subtle perch]

What type of planet, what biome, have the glowing grass

[lone dagger]

I have this mission but litterialy i have warped to so many water systems but it wont get completed or a next step

[latent goblet]

||Well what is visiting a new "Galaxy"? I'm under the asumption we are in ONE galaxy and we warp to Star/solar systems. I've warped to 8 different solar systems so far looking for a new S-Exotic starship (Realizing it's not as easy and I got SUPER lucky not only getting an S exotic as my second ship...but getting an S class Freighter as my first one playing the game. lol)||

[hushed saffron]

I think it is a random effect that some planets with grass have, like bioluminescent water and bubbles

[latent goblet]

BECAUSE! I didn't understand what I was doing with the companion stuff! lol

[subtle perch]

Ouch

[latent goblet]

Now I gotta actually THINK about it

I can't just collect them all

[hushed saffron]

I dont know for sure l, though, im no expert on grass haha

[hushed saffron]

||There are 255 galaxies, 256 technically. All of them as big as Euclid, the one you're in now||

[vernal oxide]

@wide onyx

[hushed saffron]

||Galaxies contain billions or tens of billions of regions which each contain hundreds of star systems which each have 2-6 planets||

[wheat cove]

||Everyone starts in Euclid galaxy, but as TheNightFalcon said, there are 256 galaxies. This game is Big.||

[hushed saffron]

||Huge, even||

[latent goblet]

....

||Wat||

||Wait wait wait....so everytime I visit the galaxy map and visit new stars...the whole "Economy/conflict/yadda yadda" is not warping? But I use my hyper drive....||

[swift sand]

wdym "the whole eco/conflict is not warping"?

[swift sand]

only planets with this grass type can have glowing grass - you'll find plenty of lush biome planets (star bulb on the resource list) with it, but it's possible to get it on other biomes too.

[swift sand]

can you goto and interact with a teleporter and post a screenshot please?

[lone dagger]

you mean a portal?

[latent goblet]

Okay so when i open the galaxy map and I go to a new dot. What am I visiting?

[swift sand]

a teleporter

[lone dagger]

oh

[latent goblet]

The map with ALLLLL the dots everywhere

[swift sand]

another star system in the same galaxy

[latent goblet]

Fffuuuu

[swift sand]

ahuh

there's bazillions of them

[lone dagger]

well i am not playing nms anymore right now but uh wait a secnd @swift sand

[swift sand]

take your time, no rush

[latent goblet]

Das like....bic pikachu big

[swift sand]

you could say that it's infinite, for human lifetimes

[lone dagger]

@swift sand

[swift sand]

first, teleport to the first station on the list. then, goto space, wait a few seconds, and open galaxy map. then again screenshot please

@lone dagger see image: see how it's got "nearby system" (scrolling) and the eclipsed sun icon (of the main storyline mission) on the destination button?

[swift sand]

meaning, mission is expecting you to go to a specific system - in order to progress mission script

[lone dagger]

yes

[swift sand]

target system is that way - look for a system with the same red eclipsed sun icon

[lone dagger]

ok

[lone dagger]

but uh its still telling me same thing and there isnt a system with that sign

[swift sand]

open mission Log; is there a restart using nearby structures button lower right of the screen for patterns in time?

[lone dagger]

no

[swift sand]

then target system is within 4000LY of your current system. iow, you may not see it right now, but that's just because it's further than 1500LY or so (probably around that distance is when it starts fading stars away). can you post a screenshot of the galaxy map looking towards where the green pathline goes off to?

[slender breach]

Where can I get salvaged frigate modules easiest?

[swift sand]

see that last hop of the pathline, dashed? your target system is that way. meaning, free explore and move yourself with WASD closer to that last marked system, and recheck again for the mission icon on a system, perhaps you may even try to "blindly" (not blindly, in the same direction) go a bit further out still and see if you can find it. thing is, you probably moved from the system where this mission stage triggered in, without realizing that the mission had picked a nearby system to it to use for the mission stage

[lone dagger]

yeah i did that

yay

[swift sand]

if you got max standing with merchants guild and/or r8 with explorers guild, that would be the only non rng way to get some. additionally, i also like keeping an eye on mission boards and run fleet expeditions ofc. derelict freighter missions can be good too, some interior layouts dont have any enemies and so it's just a walk in the park, as long as you can sustain the unit cost of emergency signal scanners (or if you use the personal refiner trick, i think that still works)

[slender breach]

Okey, thanks! Next thing, which frigates are worth buying, rn I have 1 miner.

[supple goblet]

Hi, im stuck 48 turns with a pet that keep using overgrown to heal for 3 turns, is there a way to debuff him

Ok, im lost XD

[swift sand]

i think some pets have the ability to clear some buffs challenger pets can use, but not sure now if there's one to clear that hp regen buff. to me it sounds like this should be looked at by the devs, that's not really fun, regardless of what led up to the situation.

[supple goblet]

Yeah, it keep healing, he killed all my 3 pets by himself XD

[wheat cove]

There are different theories, but you definitely want a few support frigates. Personally I like to have at least a couple of each specialization, some people go all support.

[lone dagger]

@swift sand THE PLANET WHERE I HAVE TO DO IT IS COMPLETLY WATER I CANT LAND ANYWHERE

[supple goblet]

Aqua landing, i have that issue before XD

[wet sigil]

I would recommend only going full support after you know your freighter can boost frigates stats from at least 60 to 150

[lone dagger]

and it drops my fps to 10

[supple goblet]

Ok, thats weird..., which task r u doing

[swift sand]

hmm, there should be islands within 2000u of your mission destination marker

try flying around the marker, circling

[lone dagger]

wdym? like what mission

[lone dagger]

yeah i found but Its really laggy

[supple goblet]

Oh, i thought u were doing a task, if its not seaworld, then it still has land, u can jump back to low orbit to have a wider view

[swift sand]

try to lower graphics a bit maybe

[lone dagger]

I ma play smt else for the moment

[swift sand]

1. there's lots of approaches to fleet compo.
2. all of them work and can deal with 3 star expedition difficulty, the max
3. you dont want to overfocus on a single stat (e.g. exploration, combat), to match an expedition's type
4. you want to have a decent balance of stats: what frigate types you used to get the fleet to those stats doesn't really matter a whole lot
5. like @wheat cove and @wet sigil mentioned, having a few frigates of each type combined with a few supports can help boost those scores higher and still get some efficiency just from frigates alone, but otoh freighter fleet upgrade modules can really help making up for any shortcomings of your current fleet. 150 score on each stat = a basically invincible fleet.

[subtle perch]

Or watch the video

[swift sand]

feel free to come back again when you want to pick it up again. we could try to restart the mission to a different water planet that might not be as taxing as that one

[swift sand]

or !faq-frigates in #nms-commands too 🙂 @slender breach

[subtle perch]

!!!!!
I found my first paradise planet!!!!

[hot sentinel]

Does Anyone know how to get a Bunch of nanites, I'm trying to upgrade my multi tool, but getting stuck because of nanites

[wet sigil]

If you got units, you can go to outlaw space station, buy their suspicious weapons and tech packages, open them up for x rank upgrades and sell them for nanites

[hot sentinel]

How much is a suspicious good

[compact tundra]

New player in vr. Love it but on smooth I feel like a shopping cart with a bad left wheel. Always seem to list left to the point I have to use teleport. I would prefer smooth though any advice? I’m using a Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop/Steam VR.

[compact tundra]

I just found one! It was in an uncharted no info no space station system.

[leaden quartz]

so it isnt that rare as I thought

[compact tundra]

Was not sure what to do with it.

[leaden quartz]

was about to ask that

[wheat cove]

Suspicious goods sell for units, not nanites, so I'd ignore those for your purposes. Buy suspicious arms and tech packets, open them, then sell the tech modules to the tech merchant

[swift sand]

only has a function during the starbirth (living ship) quest, otherwise just pretty to look at

[compact tundra]

Is it always in same system if I go back…? Now I’ll have to remember. I need to keep notes.

[swift sand]

yeah, it can spawn there again by pulsing

how do u unlock autophage character customisation

[wet sigil]

You need to unlock them through the terminals with void motes

[deep pier]

so just one for the general customisation options?

[swift sand]

need to unlock at least 1 helmet to unlock the autophage race in the appearance modifier - you may need to hop through multiple camps to unlock all available customization options/find staff parts you need

Can I clear New Beginnings/Space Anomaly/Atlas Eternal?

In short, no.

• New Beginnings signals completion of the main storyline.
  -# Select it when you don't want to see any mission related tooltips lower right of the screen.
• Atlas Eternal is an endless mission that signals completion of the Atlas Path.
  -# Don't have to keep doing it if you don't want to, not unless you want to max out Atlas words.
• The Space Anomaly doesn't truly have an objective after the interactions with the main storyline missions.
  -# Core warping can make it update from one objective to another, but it will just return to the same as it was after that's done.

switch between active tools via quick menu/utilities, can also keybind it

Huh?

U should get option to add to collection

Like with starships

[swift sand]

feel free to post a screenshot after interacting with a cabinet, but you should have the add to collection + exchange options

[hot sentinel]

I just checked and I do

[wheat cove]

You do, unless you already have 6 active ones

[hot sentinel]

well that's on me

[dense sapphire]

I so wanna get a new freigher but i did so much buildingnon my current one

[hot sentinel]

I was always exchanging them

[swift sand]

it'll be fine, see <#nms-commands message>

[dense sapphire]

Ok

O wait i csnt get the storage to transfer easily

My freigher has 43 filled slots and 2 filled storage rooms

[swift sand]

just build more storage rooms and put the items in there before actually going for a new freighter

[dense sapphire]

Ig ill grind slots on a cheap ship (so slots are cheap) and use that for storage

Wait

Storage rooms transfer to new freigher

Storage Containers

Storage Containers and their Corvette/Freighter base equivalents are objects that can be built in game to access and manage 10 additional and unique inventory tables in your save file.

Deleting these objects doesn't delete the items stored in your save file.

If you don't have them built, you simply can't access those inventories.

[swift sand]

but since you're able to migrate base from current freighter to new one as is, it also doesnt matter

[dense sapphire]

Aight

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

@dense sapphire like the gunter post link i shared earlier said, in summary, only thing that doesnt auto migrate to new freighter is installed tech+modules and items in core tech and cargo inventories of old freighter

other things either migrate automatically or are unlocked per/tied to character

[dense sapphire]

Ok

boy is this a doozy. i completed the atlas path missions, logged out, now the atlas station converted back to a normal one and im stuck behind the interface area

[hot sentinel]

When I sell a suspicious module to a aftermarket guy, what exactly scales the nanite price?

[stuck berry]

There are different variants of it that you equip at an Appearance Modifier

[stuck berry]

Whch type of upgrade it is, and at what class it's at. Doesn't matter which tech merchant you sell it to I believe

[hot sentinel]

it was a health module x

[stuck berry]

Possibly try reloading a prior save in the Options

[hot sentinel]

was 700 nanites, but everything else I bought was 300-400 so was wondering if it's because it was better

but I opened it and it was bad

[astral wadi]

i reloaded my restore point and it worked.

[stuck berry]

Yes, the value doesn't scale with how good the stat roll will be as that hasn't been determined yet at all

[stuck berry]

Just that type of upgrade is more valuable

[slender breach]

If I want to trade my freighter, do my frigates come over to new ship?

[wheat cove]

Yes

Frigates belong to you, not the freighter. You can also transfer the existing base (or not). Tech modules do not transfer, so uninstall those you want to keep and install on the new one.

[pale valve]

Are Frigates bought at rank 4, 8, etc still glitched? (as per the wiki)

[stuck berry]

I believe that has not changed

[pale valve]

Okay, thank you!

I sadly bought two at 8, whoops, ah well glad I know now!

[errant plinth]

got trapped in someones base and lost all of my items im assuming theres nothing i can do to get it back?

[analog scroll]

How did you lose anything? Did you die? Unless you're on Survival, go find your grave and get your items back

[errant plinth]

yeah i died multiple times, tried doing my first nexus mission and went to a volcanic planet, i died to the heat the first time then respawned in a trap basically

[analog scroll]

If you died more than once, your grave contents were overwritten and items are lost

[errant plinth]

yeah thats what i thought, thanks anyway

[wheat cove]

Do you have a save you can restore?

[errant plinth]

wasnt sure how to check for old saves

Warp a minimum of 4k ly away, look for the option to reset in the mission log

ok

[analog scroll]

Go to an outlaw system, land somewhere NPCs land, wait. You won't wait long

[raw orbit]

Looking for the last part for my solar for a few days now, super excited to finish it

[stuck berry]

if you keep failing to find it, you could go to a system that's been documented to have a ship with the part you want

but that would require the Portal Glyphs #nms-commands message, and require you to locate a Portal in the correct galaxy #nms-commands message

How can I get those items

Have to get out of debt

from my settlements

[hot sentinel]

ah, I see

is there a limit on settlements amount

[hushed socket]

What you mean? Like amount of settlements?

If so 4

[hot sentinel]

oh so you get 1 of each, alright

and how do you find them?

I randomly found a korvax one, and the game gave me a autophage 1 because of my korvax one

does the third jump to a pirate system still spawn a pirate dreadnought?
reloaded three times now and not once did I see one

[astral wadi]

ah ok i dont have the grav coil. thats why i cant see it. thanks!

[wet sigil]

Third jump has nothing to do with it, normally it's 5 jumps every 3 hours (which doesn't strictly need to be to a pirate system), and you must already own a freighter

[upper walrus]

I must already own a freighter?

[wet sigil]

20% of all outlaw stations as 100% chance to spawn dreadnought fight everytime you warp in

[untold gate]

How do i craft this

[analog scroll]

If you want an outlaw freighter, yes

[analog scroll]

Put in the parts, add a reactor, finalize

[stuck berry]

The requirements to encounter Pirate Dread Events are to own a freighter, and to have encountered 2 freighter battles so far.

[untold gate]

Yes but with what

[wet sigil]

You must scrap a ship with the part you want to get the part you want to make a ship with

Hi folks. I recently returned to the game and started fresh. I just completed the story again but now, after I "reset", all my visited stations have gone from my portal list and also I can't visit any bases from other people from the anomaly. I just get an "Unable to download base" message every time. My portal UI is pretty messed up to be honest. Just wondering if my save is screwed of it there is a fix ?? I know another player who also can't now visit other peoples bases

[untold gate]

How the fuck do i get that that costs an arm and a leg

[upper walrus]

so if I get a freighter in my second encounter (this one) then I need to jump 5 more times to encounter a dreadnought?

Still cheaper than upgradeing ship class . 85k total from C -S

[stuck berry]

The Unable to Download Bases error is due to the player that owned the base leaving your anomaly instance before the base finished downloading, and the space station TP entries clearing is a bug with ||core warp/main story ending|| and is unintended

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[untold gate]

Yeah

[analog scroll]

Stations disappearing is sadly a known issue. Not being able to visit bases from the Anomaly means the owner of said base left the Anomaly before you could get the details. It's hit and miss

[untold gate]

Im not a trillionaire ill never ever get 6k

Im at 1k rn and to me im a millionaire

[gray shoal]

Yeah. Reactors should cost more

[analog scroll]

Nanites are easy once you have a source of units. Invest some time into a gold farm and you'll soon have all the units you need

[austere musk]

Thanks for the info !

[wet sigil]

Or scrap a few interceptros

[untold gate]

How on esrth do i make a gold farm i cant farm asteroids

Mineral farming guide

[hot sentinel]

every like 2-3 stations I get a dreadnought pirate and get 6.7 million units

[stuck berry]

Not how the cooldown works at all, but kinda?
The cooldown for freighter battles has 2 parts: at least 3 hours of unpaused gameplay time, and at least 5 warps, both since your last battle. Once both parts are reached, your next warp triggers a battle.
Also, once you qualify for Pirate Dreadnought Events, 20% of Outlaw Systems and 10% of High-Conflict Systems have a property that makes them always have a Pirate Dreadnought Event occur when warped to via starship, making it very easy to just warp to many different outlaw systems to find one of these special systems to farm

[wet sigil]

#nms-commands message

[untold gate]

Ugh at this point i doubt ill ever get a corvette or a new spaceship

[upper walrus]

are the 20% and 10% affected by the timer?

[stuck berry]

No, they "skip" the cooldown fully

[analog scroll]

They do reset the timer for systems that are not impacted

[upper walrus]

so now I can just jump around until I get a dreadnought?

[stuck berry]

to different Outlaw Systems, if you both own a freighter and have encountered 2 freighter battles so far on this save, yes

[untold gate]

You can have battles between freightors ?

[inland ermine]

Only NPC vs NPC

[untold gate]

Stupid game

That sucks

[wet sigil]

A single scrapping of sentinel interceptor is worth 8 digits in units

[untold gate]

Whats the point of an npc vs npc battle

[untold gate]

The spaceships ?

[wet sigil]

Yes

[untold gate]

Great ill go become an outlaw

I never found platinum i hope this works

[wet sigil]

So that you can save one by making the other surrender and have a chance to claim either as your freighter\

[wet sigil]

Scrapping an interceptor require you to find them on dissonant worlds, not fight space combat

[untold gate]

The fuck is a dissonant world ?

[wet sigil]

but once you find a harmonic camp, you can find as many crashed interceptor as you wish from that camp

[untold gate]

If i buy it can i scrap it ?

Awsome units are relevent once again

[wet sigil]

Yes, but if you are going to want to get a ship part out of that to make your own, you need to salvage it, not scrap

[wet sigil]

it's all in the link I sent to you previously

[untold gate]

Ah

[wet sigil]

And units are always relevant

[upper walrus]

thanks, do you know if I can see what class the dreadnought is before fighting it

[untold gate]

To me theyre not

[stuck berry]

The class isn't determined by that point

it's only determined upon the dreadnought spawning (encountering the battle), fully randomized based on local system economy

[untold gate]

What link

[wet sigil]

this

[stuck berry]

you could aim your Analysis Visor at the Pirate Dreadnought while in space, but this can only be done from a corvette-class starship

[untold gate]

Wait theres only 4 classes ?

[upper walrus]

so I need to do this encounter 20 times on average

can the class be upgraded?

[stuck berry]

For freighters, no

[wet sigil]

A corvette is probably the fastest at farming for S rank freighters because you can avoid having to fight the freighter every single time

the only downside is, once you find the freighter is indeed S rank, you would be a little bit behind on the fight, so you don't have as much time fighting the dreadnought as you may be used to

[untold gate]

Lattsss go im c class i fought my space ship was weak af

[wet sigil]

Once you scrap a few interceptors, you can convert into nanites and buy the upgrades you need to make your ship perform better, even a few interceptors' worth of units will change space combat basically completely

[untold gate]

Now the problem is how on esrth do i find them

[analog scroll]

!faq-interceptor in #nms-commands will show you how

[wet sigil]

Stars with dissonant planets will be labeled on the galaxy map in the star description box

[untold gate]

I found one one warp away how awsome

Now what

[wise reef]

Fly to a Dissonant system. Locate a Dissonance Resonator, and blow it up. They drop Echo Locators 20% of the time (you can also scan them to see if they will drop one or a Mirror). Use the Echo Locator to locate a Harmonic Camp. At the Camp, you can unlock a free Sentinel Multitool, grab some Harmonic Scrap, and use the terminal to farm Sentinel Interceptors

[stuck berry]

Dissonance Resonators look like this, locate them using your Analysis Visor

[wise reef]

Set a base computer at the camp so you can find it again easily

[hot sentinel]

How can I farm multi-tool expansion slots?

[untold gate]

Whre do find a dissonance resonator

[wise reef]

Honestly, easiest is probably to check mission boards and take missions that give them

[wise reef]

On Dissonant Planets. Fly around slowly and watch the radar. or move on foot.

[untold gate]

I have to find a dessonant planet too ?

I thought any planet worked

[wise reef]

Yeah, but that is easily done from the galaxy map. they show up in the description

[hot sentinel]

When I was doing the autophage quest, I arrived at a camp and there was wheelbarrows with trash and those would give me some, but I forgot where it was, would that be faster if I find one?

[untold gate]

I foubd a dessonant system i thought that was it

[analog scroll]

Interceptors only exist on Dissonant planets, and even then only on Dissonant planets that do not have Gold or Rusted Metal as a resource

[untold gate]

Great They better be commun i dont wanna warp around the galaxy

[wise reef]

Those are Harmonic Camps. The items given are random. They do replenish over time, so you can continue to farm them periodically.

[hot sentinel]

Yeah, that's what happened, I think I relogged and everything respawned

Do you know how I can find one?

[wise reef]

They are pretty common. At least 1 in 10 systems, probably more

[untold gate]

Bruh thats rare

This shit is gonna take me forever

[wise reef]

No it's not, you pop on the map and can probably see 50 systems. At least 5 of those are gonan be Dissonant

[analog scroll]

There are trillions of star systems. 1 in 10 is super common

[wet sigil]

Disonnant stars show up on the star description, you don't need to warp to them to check

[stuck berry]

That's why you can see if a system has dissonant worlds or not from the galaxy map

systems that contain them will have the "// Dissonant" tag

[untold gate]

Anything in this game takes like 5h i tried getting solar panels untill i realised scorched planets dont really exist aroubd me and gave up

[wise reef]

why would you need scrched planets?

[untold gate]

To get solanium

I wanted to get solar panels to power my base

[analog scroll]

Solar panels don't need solanium

[untold gate]

Its for the quest

[analog scroll]

Solar vine shows as a resource when you scan a planet from space

[untold gate]

OH YES I LOVE REFUELING MY STUPID HYPERDRIVE EVERY 2 SECONDS CUZ IT TAKES 4 STUPID WARP CELLS TO GET IT TO 100%

[stuck berry]

Then install hyperdrive upgrade modules

[analog scroll]

Add hyperdrive upgrades so each cell lasts longer

[stuck berry]

purchase them from starship tech merchants

Each station sells them at a different class S-Class ones aren't rare at all, just slightly expensive

[wise reef]

Also, there are like 10 different names for Scorched planets. They are not rare. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Biome_-_Scorched

[stuck berry]

you can install up to 3 upgrade modules per tech type, not including blueprint tech

[untold gate]

I uh dont have the space for that

[fresh birch]

And learn the recipe for warp hyperdrive from the anomaly

[wise reef]

you increase tech slots at the starship upgrade station. This all comes in time. Do some quests, earn some units and nanites, and you will quickly progress.

[stuck berry]

Then get rid of the weapon upgrades/blueprints for weapons that you don't have installed

[untold gate]

I avoid quests as much as possible they suck

[lone dagger]

Are Starsystems with a red sun pirate systems?

[stuck berry]

Red star systems can be outlaw systems, but not all of them. Outlaw systems can be of any star color

[analog scroll]

You will need to do them eventually as roughly 20% of all systems are unavailable to you until you unlock them

[wise reef]

No. If you can, install an economy / conflict scanner. Outlaw systems have a skull for the race.

[lone dagger]

ok uhm do i havbe to a special scanner in order to see the skull

[untold gate]

Wdym i have a emeril drive i can go wherever i want

[analog scroll]

50% of the inhabited red systems are outlaw systems, but only 5% of all red systems are inhabited at all.

[stuck berry]

Yes, the Economy or Conflict Scanner. You can research their blueprints at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly, the Economy Scanner is far easier to install

[wise reef]

economy scanner. you should have one anyway they are useful

[analog scroll]

Indium drive allows you to visit blue systems, you don't have that, and you can't even see purple systems until you unlock them

[lone dagger]

uh i have economy scanner so i should see it right are they just rare or what

[untold gate]

And i dont csre about that

[analog scroll]

You might, in time

[lone dagger]

is this a outlaw system to?

[untold gate]

I have no reason to get indium so i wont do it

[stuck berry]

There are special Purple Star Systems that are completely invisible and unreachable until a late game mission is complete, that comes after the main story #nms-commands message

[wise reef]

They are a little uncommon, but not exactly rare. Probably about as rare as any other specific economy type tbh

[lone dagger]

ok

[stuck berry]

Indium is the most efficient stellar metal for refining into chromatic metal, so if you want to mass produce warp cells/hypercores then it can be very useful

(tied with Quartzite, the purple system stellar metal)

[untold gate]

i refuse to do missions unless i absolutely need it i hate doing them cuz its basicly like a big shopping list i shouldnt need to do quests in a damn sandbox

[wise reef]

You will need it eventually, but it sounds liek you are very early game, so yeah ignore it.

[untold gate]

Yeag

Not very early game jeez

[lone dagger]

And I just had a battle with a pirate frigate to protect like an other frigate but uh I destroyed the pirate frigate and the video said that you can just go to another pirate system and theres 50% chance I get another battler

[untold gate]

I hage a freightor

[lone dagger]

mushroom goat out of hollow knight

[stuck berry]

False

[untold gate]

You play hk ?

[stuck berry]

Only 20% of Outlaw Systems and 10% of High-Conflict Systems have a property that makes them always have a Pirate Dreadnought Event occur when warped to via starship

[lone dagger]

yes

[untold gate]

Awsome

[wise reef]

What I suggest is to farm some money by one of two methods -- clear out caves and mine all the cobalt you can, or buy distress signal charts from the chart vendor, find crashed ships, and scrap them for money.

[untold gate]

Im tryna 112% it i have 9 % left

[upper walrus]

are you sure that the class is random when reloading?
I captured a dreadnought for the 10th time and every single time was a C rank

[untold gate]

Ill do the other

[stuck berry]

You are experiencing a statistical nothing burger

[analog scroll]

Outlaw system class spawns are 85% C class, every time they spawn

[stuck berry]

read the values in the image above

[wise reef]

There are faster ways to earn money, but early on, those two are about the most proficable with minimal tech, inventory, or capital

[hot sentinel]

What's the best way to farm echo locators?

[stuck berry]

Fly around a dissonant dead or weird world and shoot dissonance resonators using your starship

[analog scroll]

The only way to find them is to kill Dissonance Resonators, and even then it's only a 20% drop rate

[stuck berry]

you can see them a bit ahead on the Compass while flying around the surface

[tight linden]

When will the new patch on pc and ps hit switch 2? I saved from my pc and havent been able to play on my switch 2 for 1 week + now :/

[stuck berry]

We dunno, stay tuned to #nms-news-ticker

[hot sentinel]

I'm struggling to find the dissonance reasonators

[wise reef]

You gotta fly slow, they don;t show up at as long a distance as Radiant Shards for example.

Or, get on the ground and walk / exocraft

[hot sentinel]

I don't really got fast exocraft

[wise reef]

faster than walking tho.

flying slow is the best way tho

[knotty frigate]

Is it me or is exocraft controls kinda.... not good?

Like I feel like I can't drive and turn reliably with wasd

[swift sand]

besides avoiding planets with lots of mountains, i like to farm resonators on dissonant planets with rusted metal or gold on the resource list (though these wont be able to spawn camps themselves)

[stuck berry]

Correct, turning is meant to be done via the camera

[swift sand]

i just use WS to forward/brake and use mouse to point where i want to go

[hot sentinel]

ok so that's the issue

The planet I'm on is filled with mountains and water

[knotty frigate]

Ohh so controls are shared with ships

[swift sand]

yeah, that'll make it a bit harder to find them, perhaps not harder but more time consuming

[west apex]

whats this ship, and how do we get it?

[inland ermine]

[untold gate]

Well rn i dont need that so idc

[west apex]

ok ty, 2 questions where is the quicksilver comp? and is living ships worth getting?

[daring portal]

Help

[analog scroll]

Portal glyphs

[swift sand]

quicksilver shop is in the anomaly; well, they're worth getting if you really like their vibes and their pros (a few), but for example an easy con to point out is that upgrading their inventory size isn't as easy as it is with non-living ships. i'd suggest checking out the 3rd and 4th links (in the gunter post) to get a more detailed idea of what i'm referring to.

[daring portal]

What's the nearest portal in Euclid when i use the anomaly featured?

[analog scroll]

Find one?

[west apex]

ok ty

[analog scroll]

!faq-portal

[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

[tropic ginkgo]

every planet has a portal

[stuck berry]

there aren't any featured bases that are directly at a portal

[fresh birch]

Sometimes players in the anomaly will have bases named something like “portal” near a portal but that relies on people being in the anomaly

[fallow maple]

why does stacking electromagnetic generators work its so stupid lol

[swift sand]

technically because hotspots are like forcefields, that extend all the way down and up. yeah, you dont have to stack them to get a decent mine going.

[fallow maple]

it ain't for a mine my farm used 2000 power and im not made of resources

[west apex]

how do we obtain hexite

[swift sand]

the living ship quest itself will lead you to a location to get it from

[west apex]

ok I saw it ty

will I be coming back to this place that wants hexite?

Yes right?, and should I put down a base

[swift sand]

it will be marked, no need to drop a base

[west apex]

ok ty

[leaden quartz]

what is this

[stuck berry]

encrypted mission

the objective is hidden until you accept, but the reward is a bit larger I think

[brittle mesa]

How do I get higher level freighter expeditions? I have seen some higher levels before but lately they are all one and two stars.

[analog scroll]

3 star is the highest, they're random and refresh once per day

[stuck berry]

Have your freighter in a different system than it's in normally

the groups of missions you get are determined by the system your freighter is in upon the refresh time triggering

which is <t:1778112000:t> I think

[brittle mesa]

Randomly or are different types better?

[daring portal]

What do i do with a soul chamber?

[stuck berry]

not tied to any factors/features in the star system

[stuck berry]

Progress the Starbirth mission I believe

[swift sand]

just follow mission yeah

[daring portal]

Should i set up a base here?

Will i come back to this system whenever i need another living ship?

[stuck berry]

Living ships after your first will skip the mission entirely, at an added cost of 10,000 nanites to claim the living ship

[daring portal]

Am i near the end?

[stuck berry]

Yes, very close

[gaunt holly]

what's the strategy to taming a flying creature i can get like 20 meters from them

[signal cedar]

not all flying animals can be tamed

high fliers, worms, birds, bats

[stuck berry]

Aim your analysis visor in Creature Survey Mode at it, if it shows Holo-Arena stats then it can be adopted

[signal cedar]

and to tame an animal, you need to be standing on the ground and looking to them to have the interaction prompt

[stuck berry]

if not, then can't without mods on PC

[gaunt holly]

i have been creature hunting my entire playthru totally forgetting that the creature tab can do that. thank u dude😭

[mental forum]

Where do you go to upgrade freighter to upgrade class?

[analog scroll]

You cannot upgrade freighter class

[mental forum]

Ahh I just have to look around for one to purchase or swap?

[west apex]

Hey, so in here #nms-commands message there is stuff like synergysing or those. I don't know what those are and I also don't know what I am suppose to do with my suit tech, could anyone help?

[analog scroll]

Yes, the outlines signify synergy https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Upgrade_Bonus

[west apex]

thank you

[violet badger]

Does anyone know how I can find a walker?

[stuck berry]

Fight regular sentinels on the ground until you reach wave 5

[violet badger]

Ok thank you

[buoyant terrace]

What does the paradise quotent mean in the wonders tab?

[proud laurel]

Anyone on Xbox got the update yet? Lol

[stuck berry]

Just a flavor stat, with bonuses for lush worlds lacking storms and lower values for worlds that have storms or extreme storms

[sterile thistle]

How dose one get cool cosmetics ?

[buoyant terrace]

ahh i se

[stuck berry]

Purchase from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly using Quicksilver #nms-commands message

There's also a few customization options from missions or etc things, like the vile brood heads and fishing heads

As well as all of the Autophage cosmetics which can be unlocked from Autophage Synthesis Terminals after the mission They Who Returned has been completed #nms-commands message

[sterile thistle]

Thanks I'll check that out .

[brisk quail]

Me and my friend are on PS5 (me) and Xbox. Any way to quickly resolve the version mismatch or are we just kinda screwed

[west apex]

@stuck berry do you have a s tier multitool with a good amount of sc that I can warp to?

[analog scroll]

Have to wait for Xbox to get the update

No way at all to speed that up

[analog scroll]

Every S class ship and multi tool has 4 sc slots

[west apex]

oh

[stuck berry]

I have two. Note that all S-Class things have four supercharged slots

[west apex]

tysm

[west apex]

is the one on the left in a space station or somewhere else? what are those broken parts

[stuck berry]

It's on the planet that the coordinates specify

[stuck berry]

broken parts, that must be fixed if you wish to use those specific slots

[west apex]

how do I get to it

[stuck berry]

To the planet?

[west apex]

yeah

[proud laurel]

Us Xbox folk gotta wait for the update. No update yet today right?

[west apex]

I mean like where is it in the planet and which planet is it

[analog scroll]

Portal to that planet in that galaxy, use your visor to see the coordinates you're at, go to the listed coordinates

[analog scroll]

No update for Xbox yet

[west apex]

how do we do the last part

[stuck berry]

By using a Portal #nms-commands message, with the 16 Portal Glyphs unlocked #nms-commands message

[west apex]

i know the portal but not the cords

[stuck berry]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system It's just Latitude and Longitude, it works identically to how it does on Earth

[analog scroll]

Your visor says the lat/long coordinates, so does 1st person view in your ship. Go from where you arrive to the coordinates listed in the image

[west apex]

ok, and which planet is it?

[stuck berry]

The planet that the glyphs specify.

[analog scroll]

The one in the image #nms-questions message

[west apex]

I dont see a planet

[west apex]

where in the image does it say it

[stuck berry]

This is a portal address

[analog scroll]

Portal glyphs take you to the planet

Directly

[stuck berry]

they take you to a specific planet

[west apex]

ohhhhhhh ok

ok ok got it

I thought it took me somewhere random in the galaxy

[west apex]

system*

not galaxy

[stuck berry]

in the address, the first glyph is which planet in the system that it's specifying

[shut bolt]

Hey weird question I keep doing these Main missions but they won’t change. Does anybody know what I’m supposed to do?

[stuck berry]

Atlas Eternal is eternal, it's finished already

[analog scroll]

Atlas Eternal is Eternal. You're done with the Atlas Path

[stuck berry]

Alone Amidst the Stars is the mission you should be doing, follow the guidance in the lower right

[shut bolt]

All right, thank you for the help at @stuck berry

[stuck berry]

Possibly restart the mission using nearby structures if you can't reach where the objective is at

[silver pollen]

How do I know if it's been 3 hours since my last frieghter battle and also what happens if I've warped 5 times since then but it's not been 3 hours

[stuck berry]

No way to know other than warping if you've already done at least 5 warps, and the event will not trigger if you haven't reached both parts of the cooldown, until both parts are met
The cooldown is at least 3 hours of unpaused gameplay and at least 5 warps, both since your last battle. Once both are met, your next starship warp to an inhabited system will trigger a battle

[upper walrus]

What are some of the best things to progress, I recently got my hands on a Dreadnought and am currently farming those dissonance ships to sell them

(and how do I unlock the vehicles?)

[hot sentinel]

To farm echo locators does it work if I save my game before killing the dissonant thing and relog everytime I don't get it?

[stuck berry]

no

the chances for each dissonance resonator to have an echo locator is deterministic

[silver pollen]

Vehicles are either unlocked through base archives quest or bought at anomaly for data

[stuck berry]

aka it occurs the exact same way every time

[hot sentinel]

so it's not really 20% drop rate, it's 20% of the dissonance resonators that drop it

[stuck berry]

You can see what they're currently containing before destroying them by getting close and aiming your camera at them

[upper walrus]

At the anomaly I can only buy the base stations for the vehicles

[stuck berry]

Those are the vehicles

[vernal nacelle]

how do you get sentinal freghters? and also do your frigidates and cargo get transferred

[stuck berry]

placing the Geobay is what summons the exocraft

[silver pollen]

Yes. Place those on the planet you wanna explore and boom, summoned

You can get upgrades later that'll allow you to summon them pretty much anywhere on a planet

But for now, just place one on the planet you want it on

[upper walrus]

So if I get the upgrade to summon them everywhere then I don't need to unlock the base stations?

[stuck berry]

Sentinel freighters are one of the two kinds of capital freighters, which can only be encountered after you have already encountered at least 2 freighter battles #nms-questions message. Your frigates and storage container contents are "transferred", but the core cargo and technology inventories of the freighter are lost, but those can simply be packaged beforehand

[silver pollen]

No you still need the base stations unlocked and placed on a planet I think

[stuck berry]

You need to have one of an exocraft's geobay placed somewhere for it to be counted as owned

extended summoning methods require that you own the exocraft that you're trying to summon

[upper walrus]

So I need to build a base somewhere

[silver pollen]

Yeah probably

[stuck berry]

Geobays are deployable technology, aka they can be built outside of a base.

similar to Save Beacons, Save Points etc

Placing them outside of a base still considers them as owned, and is fully permanent

[upper walrus]

So I'll just pick a random planet, place it down and forget about it

[stuck berry]

Yes, and then extended summoning methods like the Exocraft Summoning Station, Exocraft Orbital Materializer and Exocraft Summoning Unit will allow you to summon them freely when in the same system as them

[upper walrus]

Which vehicles are good?

[silver pollen]

Pretty much all of them have their purposes. Minotaur isn't great for traversal but can scan for crashed ships if you upgrade it enough.

[stuck berry]

Each of them have fully different purposes/niches

The Roamer and Pilgrim are good all rounders, with the Pilgrim being the fastest one, but both cannot traverse water effectively

The Nomad can float atop water and jump quite long distances due to being the lightest

[silver pollen]

Nautilon is submarine

[west apex]

I got how cords works but the second I leave my ship I get hurt because the planet is extreme so I cant tell which way is which @stuck berry u got any tips?

[stuck berry]

The Colossus is slower but more stable and has a larger inventory, as well as some unique technology like the plow and refiner

[stuck berry]

Then don't get out of your ship yet, just follow the latitude/longitude to the spot on the planet by looking at the latitude/longitude reading on your ship's screen

or there could helpfully be a base or communications station at the Harmonic Camp

[hot sentinel]

I placed a save point at an harmonic camp earlier, I was farming it by logging in and out and the harmonic scrap was respawning instantly everytime, now I do it to a different camp and it won't respawn, any idea why?

[west apex]

Oh I was in 3rd person...

ok ty

[stuck berry]

heck, I could go check if there is one at it

[stuck berry]

Not sure, maybe it's some sort of bug that it wasn't saving the stored interaction before?

[hot sentinel]

Harmonic scrap always would respawn for me

yesterday same thing when I was doing my staff quest

I found a really good one to farm and now it won't work

[indigo lion]

does high sentinel activity even do anything on ocean planets? i cant recall ever seeing underwater sents XD

[stuck berry]

You can only find them on the surface

[indigo lion]

what like just floating across the surface ofthe water? XD

[hot sentinel]

I just retried and the camp I was using previously still regenerates instantly

but the other ones don't

[stuck berry]

then yeah, may be some failure to attribute the stored interaction properly

[stuck berry]

No, on the land

but I think I've also seen them floating atop the water like once or twice, but maybe an island was nearby

[hot sentinel]

I tought it was meant to instantly respawn ;/

How else do I acquire multi tool expansion units quick?

[signal cedar]

its possible to find Sentinel Pillars generating underwater on ocean / waterlocked planets and have them spawn Sentinels

but I dont think there will be any difference in regards to sentinel activity level

[stuck berry]

checking every mission board under the sun(s) and checking mercenary guild envoy rewards I guess

[upper walrus]

how do I obtain salvaged frigate modules?

[analog scroll]

Easiest way is guild emissaries. Merchant and Explorers guilds at Master or Exalted reputation

[upper walrus]

where do I find those?

[analog scroll]

Space stations. 1 guild per region in space

[indigo lion]

What is the max depth for ocean/water worlds?

[analog scroll]

I've seen 1500U

[hot sentinel]

Finding a B class pirate dreadnought in an outlaw system is that considered good luck or bad luck?

[analog scroll]

5% chance

[indigo lion]

thes first one ive found. im at 1400 on the floor but im looking into cave vents that seem to go even furher.....

[stuck berry]

1,500u

[hot sentinel]

Yeah so for the same odds, I got the worst one possible

[indigo lion]

ahh so theres probably not much more in there then 👍

[fresh birch]

If I salvage a ship I used inventory things on do I get them back?

[gloomy cape]

How to find sentinel ships?

[stuck berry]

no

[stuck berry]

By finding a dissonant world and using either of the two methods #nms-commands message

[fresh birch]

Rip Thank you

[hot sentinel]

What's the difference between all the weapons for starship and multi tool

[analog scroll]

Preference

[hot sentinel]

is there a more in depth description?

[hot sentinel]

Some of them looks like their only purpose is stun

some close range

[stuck berry]

that's why synergizing two of them can be beneficial, at least on starships

for multi-tools, one of any of them can do all the work alone with upgrades+blueprint

except maybe the Blaze Javelin but that stuns enemies too with a blueprint I think

[wise reef]

Personally, for combat, I like the Boltcaster + Blaze Javelin combo. Boltcaster to pump out damage, and Jav for the stun effect it can be upgraded to have. That makes short work of Sentinels, Horrors, pretty much anything you need to shoot. There's a secondary wepaon liek a grenade with a stun effect, but that is harder to use IMHO. Jav shoots in a straight line, the other you need to calculate distance to launch it and take your aim off your target

But some people like the Scatter Blaster for its high damage and close-up lethality. Try them out and see what works well for you

[indigo lion]

so what all do i need/how do i prepare for deep ocean stuff? i hopping out at 1300u to grab some sea glass and nearly died instantly

[stuck berry]

Pressure Membrane helps some of it I think

[wise reef]

Do you have the Pressure Membrane or w/e it's called? How about the extra water protection modules in your exosuit?

[stuck berry]

but regardless, being at the true deepest depths is quite dangerous regardless due to hazard protection drain and general life support drain

[fallow maple]

I like using the neutron canon on the staff as it looks like im shooting magic 😂

[wise reef]

But yeah, find some sea glas sin shallower water until then

[calm wasp]

Hello,

Someone Coords for T-Rex SSS Dinosaurs? in #nms-fauna nobody cant help me for this.

I looks for

Ice
Desert
Nuclear
Tropical
Toxic

Thank you.

[indigo lion]

this is what my suit looks like. tbh ive mostly focused on my freighter and ships and tools* so i kinda have no clue how to setup my suit fully.

[wise reef]

Pressure Membrane (R3C8), Aeration Membrane (R4C8), and the 4 in the bottom-right corner are what you want

[wide onyx]

go for S class upgrades on thermal

and radiation

[indigo lion]

ive been thinking the whole time your supposed to have 1 shield and 3 upgrades... not 1 upgrade and 3 shields...

[analog scroll]

Some of those cannot be S, they're blueprints

[stuck berry]

The shields are the upgrade modules

the ones that show class icons are blueprint tech, can only install one of each

there's also the illegal versions of them that count as their own type of upgrade, that are quite powerful when supercharged due to internal value jank

my suit is made to make the most of that but also jetpack around since that's the most important thing to me

[indigo lion]

this helps a ton. thx also what is that purple seed thing in the top right corner?

[stuck berry]

Mark of the Denier, the tech given from The Atlas Path if you defy the Atlas

you chose the other option, so you got the Star Seed blueprint instead

[indigo lion]

oh. i didnt do that.

[wise reef]

Yeah, my layoput is non-ideal due to needing to stretch my jetpack modules to reach more SC slots.

but I also think Jetpack is top priority for exosuit

[indigo lion]

so if im tryna make a subnautica like base where should i make in the regards to depth? does the depth effect bases at all even?

[swift sand]

main advice would be dont build and claim a base comp at the bottom of the ocean, and then try to expand the default build bubble up towards the surface - other than that, you should be fine

[ornate flax]

does anyone have any cords to a gas giant planet?

[analog scroll]

You can't get there if you haven't unlocked purple systems. If you have, look for //Gas Giant on the system card on the galaxy map

[ornate flax]

purple systems?

doesnt indium drive support that aswell?

[analog scroll]

That's the only place gas giants exist

[swift sand]

see <#nms-commands message>

complete in stellar multitudes quest

[wide onyx]

does gas giants with "endless storms" have storm crystals that are always open?

[analog scroll]

Yes

[wide onyx]

great

[stuck berry]

Many dozens, but they are all in purple star systems which are unreachable/invisible until a certain mission is completed

[stuck berry]

All Gas Giants have storm crystals that are always open

[wide onyx]

your cords on nmsce is carrying me thanks bro

[ornate flax]

okay,but i stil dont understand because i swear your supposed to complete the atlas path and then get a mission for it but i dont know what mission

[shy python]

hey peeps ive level 30 a few companions playing starwars pokemon thingy and now im at a point i can mutate the abilitys but im not understanding if its actualy worth doing it just feels like getting a randomn new ability rather than improving ones you have come to like

[stuck berry]

There is a second requirement, to have completed the Autophage introductory mission "They Who Returned"

[analog scroll]

You have to complete both the story and the atlas path and the Autophage mission

[ornate flax]

the mission where you unlock staff building?
