[stuck berry]

once both that and The Atlas Path are complete, the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" is able to start via a pulse event

[ornate flax]

okay i did finish both of them

but what can i do now?

[analog scroll]

If you have both New Beginnings and Atlas Eternal in your log, pulse

Assuming you've completed the Autophage mission

[stuck berry]

also check your log to see if you already have In Stellar Multitudes in there

[indigo lion]

Yalll the gamee is bugged and wont let me call any ships on the ocean planet even tho they have aqua jets. how tf am i supposed to leave this place now...

[ornate flax]

i dont.

i have completed both of them

[stuck berry]

So They Who Returned is no longer in your log?

[analog scroll]

#nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

If so, then pulse in your starship

[ornate flax]

correct

[stuck berry]

Either make a base and teleport away, or get to wherever your starship is and get in it, or reload restore point

for some reason, it's just bugged like that in that you can't summon ships to a waterworld's water surface

[ornate flax]

and await what?

[analog scroll]

You will get a pulse event

[stuck berry]

The pulse engine event that begins In stellar Multitudes

it should happen somewhat immediately, after under a minute of pulsing

[ornate flax]

what is it called?

[indigo lion]

holy.... i just figured out how to fix it atleast for me. place a exoskiff swim under it and press your face agasint it and then look around and it suddenly let me place it around XDDD

[stuck berry]

That is extremely specific, but I will keep that in mind!

[shy python]

ive just been through all those steps last week to get the Atlantium drive
it seems to wait for a quiet time to pop the quest like when pulsing if you have nothing else happening

[ornate flax]

so can the pulse even occur in any type of system?

or a certain one

[stuck berry]

It should be able to, yes

[indigo lion]

lol its just really finnicky hopefully they fix the water landings soon

[stuck berry]

again, you will encounter it somewhat immediately, within around a minute of pulsing

[shy python]

as long as all the requirements are met the quest will pop

[ornate flax]

the event doesnt seem to occur

[stuck berry]

Check Catalogue & Guide > Collected Knowledge > The Autophage, is there an entry titled "They Who Returned"?

[glad meteor]

I know what to mean. But looking at it another way, if there's a skill you don't like, you can mutate to change it.

[shy python]

have you been to an autophage camp
think one of the things that stopped it poping for me was returning back to one after id completed they who returned

[ornate flax]

i dont get it where?

[stuck berry]

Collected Knowledge

then The Autophage

[ornate flax]

i do have they who returned

[stuck berry]

Then that means you have indeed fully completed that

[stone carbon]

Is it possible to scan for a planetary archive?

[stuck berry]

And do you also have the primary mission "Atlas Eternal" in your log?

(Not "The Atlas Path")

[ornate flax]

only the atlas path...

[stuck berry]

Then finish that.

[swift sand]

with commercial charts, yes. buy like 6, then see flowchart below

[ornate flax]

oh no its done

[stuck berry]

as we said before, finishing The Atlas Path is a requirement

[stuck berry]

No, it is not.

[ornate flax]

oh

nvm

[stuck berry]

when finished, it changes it's name to Atlas Eternal

[ornate flax]

is the atlas path a long quest?

like the main mission

[stuck berry]

Not really, just warping to 11 different Atlas Stations and crafting the Atlas Seeds in order

[ornate flax]

ah i see

thank you for the help

so after i get the atlas path com pleted

[stuck berry]

you're probably already part of the way done with it at least

[swift sand]

remember that you'll need 50 journey milestones to progress it all the way - you probably have them already

[stuck berry]

Oh that too yeah, but that tends to already be done on it's own if you've been playing for long enough

[ornate flax]

i get the mission i need to get from pulsing

sweet

thank you for all the help

[swift sand]

have fun, always feel free to ask

[shy python]

yeah but what im getting at is
is it best to just keep original abilitys then and just change ones you dont like or do they get stronger when you change them

[glad meteor]

I thought they might get stronger but so far I don't think they do

[stone carbon]

It's not possible for buildings to move around / despawn if you return to a planet right? im not crazy I swear

[shy python]

ok thanks at least i know from now on i lost a ability i did like by upgrading i guess they dont cycle back around

[stuck berry]

Not normally, but through somewhat technical bugs kinda

mainly by displacing the terrain beneath the center of the building, then reloading it

[silver bluff]

thoughts?

[swift sand]

#nms-corvette-discussion 😉

[stone carbon]

I found a planet 3 days ago, thought it was cool and saved it in my personal log for later. I have returned to the same planet at the exact same coords and everything is different 😭

[stuck berry]

Are you in the wrong galaxy?

[stone carbon]

I distinctly remember a sentinel pillar, ancient monoloth and planetary archive all being next to a big lake

I dont think so bc the planet is the same, I returned using a portal

[oblique prism]

Hey

[violet badger]

How to get a freight module

[oblique prism]

Anyone here play nms like a bitch

[stuck berry]

and you went back to the exact places that those were at? they shouldn't have moved an inch, as they should be placed at the same positions every time

[stone carbon]

I added the planet to my log when I discovered it so it has to be the same right? I'm losing my marbles here 😭

[stuck berry]

well returning to it via portal places you at the portal, not at the structures you were thinking of

unless you manually traversed back to those

or meant to say Teleporter, which are different from Portals

[stone carbon]

I know that, I logged down the coordinates and I'm standing on em right now

[swift sand]

wdym? be mindful of what channel you're in, it's to ask for and give help with gameplay/tech support issues.

[stuck berry]

And you're in the same galaxy that you found it in originally too?

[oblique prism]

I mean anyone on here play the game like hella a lot

[stone carbon]

yeah, same galaxy

[violet badger]

How do I get a freight upgrade module?

[swift sand]

ah - yeah, pretty much lots of us. try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades if you need some help in game or want to find others to play with

[stuck berry]

Then I'd consider that a massive bug, so I'd report that immediately if I were you since things are intended to be nearly exactly the same

[swift sand]

salvaged frigate module for freighter research or freighter upgrade module e.g. for hyperdrive or freighter inventory upgrade item?

[oblique prism]

how many hours u have

[violet badger]

I just wana upgrade my freighter

[stone carbon]

i'm gonna keep investigating it just incase I'm being extremely dumb without realizing it, but should I continue to have no luck, I'll file a report

[swift sand]

answer in a diff way: been playing since 2018, pretty much every day, some times more sometimes less

[swift sand]

right, but upgrade inventory size, upgrade stats..?

[oblique prism]

I wonder what u have built

[swift sand]

not a expert base builder; those often congregate in #nms-base-building 🙂

[violet badger]

The halls and builds like the teleported room and stuff

[swift sand]

ah so you want salvaged frigate modules, to research new freighter base parts and technologies. see this post <#nms-questions message> (there'll be another link in it)

[stone carbon]

am I right in saying there is more than 1 sentinel pillar per planet?

[violet badger]

I can get one by abandon freighter right?

[swift sand]

not all planets have at least 1 pillar, but where you find one, you should be able to find others. remember, same planet, diff pillar, same tool, same class

[swift sand]

crates in derelict freighter missions have a chance to drop salvaged frigate module yeah

[stone carbon]

I'm just wondering bc I'm using it as a POI for where I wanted to build. There was a sentinel pillar literally right next to it but when I scanned for one using a chart, it wasnt there so I think theres more than one on this planet I'm on

[violet badger]

Oh I thought I had to go to the end

[stuck berry]

Yeah, basing location off of chart usage is definitely not going to always bring you to the same structure

[swift sand]

only way to make sure you're seeing diff pillars would be through latitude+longitude coordinates, no question with that

[stuck berry]

should have placed and claimed a Base Computer, or place a Save Beacon, or noted down lat+long

[stone carbon]

yeah, I regret not putting a base computer down

you live and you learn I guess lol

[swift sand]

failure is a teacher for sure

part of the learning process, we've all been there

[stone carbon]

does using a planetary map take you to the closest POI or is it random?

[shut bolt]

Hey, so I’m at this part of the story award. It’s making me enter the portal when I enter it will I still be able to go to my base and stuff?

[swift sand]

you mean that you thought you had to go all the terminals, to the last terminal in the engineering room for it? the engineering room terminal can drop on your choice a freighter inventory upgrade item (called cargo bulkhead), or a freighter upgrade module (e.g. for freighter hyperdrive, fleet combat, fleet trade etc), or corvette parts, or nanites; it doesn't drop salvaged frigate module. salvaged frigate module just drops from random crates inside (when we're lucky)

[violet badger]

Yeah

[swift sand]

the more crates inside the df mission, the better. remember, 1 DF interior layout per system

[swift sand]

unclear, unknown - it doesn't always do either

[violet badger]

Is there a better way to find a derelict freighter than just buying the map?

[swift sand]

nah, just buy coords from the scrap dealer. afaik, the personal refiner trick still works: pop the scanner to activate it, put it in your exosuit personal refiner, then pulse. it will prevent game from taking it from you when you open the door

[violet badger]

I don't have a personal refiner

[swift sand]

just unlock personal refiner mk2 from anomaly exosuit research npc, cheap enough and worth every nanite

[violet badger]

Ok

[remote heart]

Guys, I'm at the end of the storyline

I need to choose from 4 different galaxies

Please help

[stuck berry]

See this post #nms-questions message

[remote heart]

Thank you so much

[buoyant terrace]

why is my grass glowing

[analog scroll]

The only real difference is the chances for certain biomes around yellow stars

[stuck berry]

The green hologram is a lush galaxy, the red hologram is a harsh galaxy, the blue hologram is an empty galaxy and the teal hologram is a normal galaxy

[analog scroll]

Because that's the type of planet you have

[stuck berry]

That's how the planet's grass looks at night

[remote heart]

Are empty galaxies bad? I'm undecided between lush and empty

[thin urchin]

Are you able to tame those flying worm creatures?

[remote heart]

I like worlds without gravity

[stuck berry]

Empty means more dead and weird worlds in yellow systems, so if you like those then go for it

[analog scroll]

Do not exist

[remote heart]

Low gravity I meant

[stuck berry]

dead worlds are indeed those that have weaker gravity

[remote heart]

Can I unlock the autophage specie in any galaxy?

And last but not least, how to obtain new heads for different species

[stuck berry]

Yes, all missions can be reached/progressed/completed in any galaxy, aside from the ending of Starbirth (first living ship mission)

[remote heart]

Thanks Grouch!

[thin urchin]

I seen a bunch on TikTok. Must be like modded

[stuck berry]

New heads as in the Autophage head options? They are exclusive to the Autophage race

[remote heart]

New heads in general too

[analog scroll]

Only the Autophage has new heads, which you purchase from them. Most of the heads for quicksilver are only for the Anomaly species

[remote heart]

And the locked heads?

[stuck berry]

Some are from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly, others are unlocked from missions like Under a Rebel Star, Dreams of the Deep, there are also a few fishing-related heads and vile brood heads

some are also from previous Community Expeditions, which cannot be done anymore outside of unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message

[analog scroll]

Fishing is another place to unlock some

[remote heart]

What is the most populated galaxy?

And most used race?

[stuck berry]

Going off of assumptions, Euclid Galaxy

[analog scroll]

Euclid, we assume but we don't have any data on it; and we don't know what the most used race is

[stuck berry]

Going off of assumptions, Anomaly (as it's the default)

[remote heart]

Thank you so much guys for all these information

I think I will go with empty galaxies

[ornate flax]

yo so i have finished the atlas and the name is now atlas eternal

but theres stilla mission

[analog scroll]

It will never leave your mission log

[ornate flax]

am i actually done or nearly

[stuck berry]

Done.

[ornate flax]

ok ok

[stuck berry]

Now pulse in your starship to begin "In Stellar Multitudes"

[ornate flax]

is it a huge purple looking space station?

[stuck berry]

Not a Space Station, but yes

[ornate flax]

so i just find echo seeds?

do i have to find them to continue or can i just use the ones i already have?

[ornate flax]

or does it need to be collected to start the next task?

[stuck berry]

You can probably use the ones that you have

[radiant hatch]

hey guys
small question
is there a way to get the expedition parts in creative mode?
i just like to build stuff and don't have the time to do the entire expedetion story line

[stuck berry]

If you previously completed the community expedition that awarded what you want, go grab them from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly
If you did not complete the relevent expedition (besides Expedition 21: Remnant which should rerun at the end of this year), then you can't do it again/obtain the rewards outside of unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message

[indigo lion]

question... has anoyone ever discovered what seems to be likea crack or canyon carved in a straight line all the way around a planet? this is the strangest thing ive seen.

[stuck berry]

they don't occur in a uniform manner like that, but they do indeed go on for many miles

[clever storm]

How do i do all the expeditions

[stuck berry]

We can't redo past expeditions, outside of the reduxes they do, but those are only for the current years' expeditions at the end of the year

though there are unofficial means to replay them/obtain their rewards on PC #nms-questions message

[clever storm]

Rip me ig im on ps5 lol

[ornate flax]

how did i find wheat in a gas giant planet?

[analog scroll]

It can exist wherever

[ornate flax]

i get that but in a gas giant it is very strange

[hot sentinel]

IS there anywhere that I can see all maximum buffs of any x class items?

[stuck berry]

in the catalogue & guide > technology

[hot sentinel]

It shows up to 4 buff tho

Like a x jetpack has more possibilities

[stuck berry]

https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Exosuit#Exosuit_Technology_Upgrades

[hot sentinel]

Thank you

Btw

What should I focus on Movement modules

[stuck berry]

Jetpack Tanks, Recharge Rate, Initial Boost Power

[hot sentinel]

the 4th one doesn't matter?

[indigo lion]

uhmmmm i claimed a new settlement and it says the construct overseer buliding is done and to do new things at the terminal. but i never built the building?? the only teminal i have for the settlement is the hub one that just shows the stats how do i fix this?

[stuck berry]

Pretty much, unless you care about sprinting more than 80 seconds straight or using less life support for jetpacking

[hot sentinel]

Wich one is for less life support?

[stuck berry]

Fuel Efficiency

[hot sentinel]

ok, thank you

[swift sand]

1. is this your only settlement? 2) if not, have you tried to ensure you have the right settlers/settlement mission selected in the log, and then save+reload?

[indigo lion]

reloading and warping in and out seems to have made the building spawn now thx

Glad i didnt waste a autophage chart XD

[copper gust]

Hi. Do base computer archives mission ever ends or is it a loop mission? D:

[stuck berry]

it ends after 10 cycles of sending you to abandoned buildings

[indigo lion]

its just Reallly Long. trust me. it ends.

[copper gust]

I've visited like 15 abandoned buildings already and still have that "search base computer archives" thing xD

[hot sentinel]

@stuck berry Do you have the same thing for starship and multi-tool

I'm trying to use the wiki for multi tool, but it says nothing found

[analog scroll]

You only visit 10 once you start getting sent places

[copper gust]

Maybe it bugged then D: idk thanks for your answers tho, I'll keep grinding it after a restart

[untold gate]

Guys im tryna build my own space ship and also i hesrd that i can use dissonant planets or something to get the stuff i need to make my space ship is that whag im looking for ( also completely of topic but while i was writing this i was above the planet and it just said "hostil scan detected" scarred tf out of me lol)

[analog scroll]

You can find sentinel ships on Dissonant planets that you can salvage for units to buy other ships to get the parts from, but you can't get ship parts directly from those types of ships. You can only make Fighter, Hauler, Explorer, and Solar type ships

[untold gate]

Ok cool

Can i kill poeple for money i uh mean in nms ofc 😅

[bitter crypt]

no

You cannot loot other players if you kill them

[untold gate]

Aw

Id become a boubty hunter if i could tbh

[proven frigate]

Main quest related question ||Is there no more after this? I choose not to reset simulation||

[untold gate]

There is

[stuck berry]

You finished the main story

[analog scroll]

You're done with the story

[untold gate]

Unfortunately

Ah

Ok

[stuck berry]

there's stuff that comes after #nms-commands message

[untold gate]

I thought it was a message at the beggining lol

[stuck berry]

that unlocks more stuff

[untold gate]

I swear i saw it just after i finished the tutorial but i didnt read the smaller text

So yeah

Dang ill never finish the story

Like ever

I just hate missions so much

[analog scroll]

Sure you will

It's 9 main steps

[untold gate]

Ywah maybe

Or ill make uo my own story

[proven frigate]

I have more question ||It seems I still miss out on some stuff, I have spoiled myself a bit but I haven't encounter the 4th race yet, I forgot their names, and quest related to organic ship/frigate|| will it come later? or its different one

[untold gate]

I see the missions as a big shopping list

[stuck berry]

This comes after the main story

[proven frigate]

||and I haven't get to purple system yet||

[stuck berry]

see the link here to get started on that #nms-commands message

[stuck berry]

Yes, as that's also after the main story

[proven frigate]

I see, thanks

[stuck berry]

both of those things are a part of updates that were added after the main story was added to the game

[untold gate]

Whats so great about purple systems bruh

[proven frigate]

Sorry I didn't check earlier, I thought it was meant to other person

[untold gate]

And also why would i wanna complete the story when i csn watch yt videos about it

[stuck berry]

Extreme terrain shapes like colossal mountains mixed with hige flat areas to view them, some worlds having extremely deep oceans, two unique biomes being Gas Giants and Waterworlds

[untold gate]

Dang

[proven frigate]

Peak game design

[ornate flax]

does anyone know how to get quartzite?

[stuck berry]

also giant planets which are just Gas Giants but as other biomes

[untold gate]

I have such a good name for a planet like that ju-pitt

[stuck berry]

Progress the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" in your log.

[analog scroll]

Purple system stellar metal

How do I start the quest to unlock a living starship?

[untold gate]

.

Lol

[stuck berry]

Buy a Void Egg from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly

[hot sentinel]

it's one of the terminals around it?

[stuck berry]

No, directly speak to the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion

the lifeform aboard the Space Anomaly that's circled in the image above

[hot sentinel]

oh now I see

[stuck berry]

A Void Egg costs 3,200 Quicksilver #nms-commands message

[ornate flax]

i cant seem to find it? i am on a gas giant am i looking at the wrong planet?

[stuck berry]

Go to one of it's moons instead

[untold gate]

Oh cmon guys i wanna know

[stuck berry]

Extreme worlds only have Activated Stellar Metals

[analog scroll]

Every planet in a purple system will have either quartzite or activated quartzite (which you can refine into quartzite)

[ornate flax]

you can refine activated quartzite to normalo quartzite?

[stuck berry]

Yes, by combining it with Carbon in a 2-input refiner I believe

[analog scroll]

It is the only stellar metal you can do that with, specifically because of this mission

[stuck berry]

due to the very small chance that all of the worlds in your first purple system having Activated Quartzite, but this is very rare as only 33% of purple system worlds that can have storms will be extreme
especially with Gas Giant systems, which always have 5 moons

[hot sentinel]

I can't seem to find it

I don't have an option for a void egg

[stuck berry]

It's always available

[hot sentinel]

ok got it, I was just scrolling down

not using a and d

[worldly sable]

is my character specific to a world or is it the same character with the same inventory in every world I'll make?

[stuck berry]

We don't make "worlds", we make saves. Our save is our character and their progress, bases, ships etc

[analog scroll]

The universe is shared among all players

[worldly sable]

Yeah sorry that's what I meant

[stuck berry]

All saves/players explore the same universe, we just all start on different slices of the first galaxy

[worldly sable]

So can I have several characters ?

[stuck berry]

yes, each save is a new character and everything

[worldly sable]

Thanks !

[analog scroll]

You can have up to 15 saves simultaneously if you choose

[stuck berry]

and you can customize the difficulty/options on the custom save screen, including skipping the tutorial, reducing/removing costs etc

most of these options can also be modified within existing saves at any time

[worldly sable]

Are discoveries shared between all saves?

Like animals or plants

[stuck berry]

No, they are not

though if you upload them, they will still show as discovered by you when reached from other saves

[analog scroll]

As a matter of fact, bases and things that you build on one save cannot be seen on any other save on the same account, even if they're uploaded to Discovery Services

Flora, Fauna, Minerals, renamed planets/systems will be shared, but constructions will not

Seems to be quest related, help

[stuck berry]

Progress the Salvage Site mission in your log.

[analog scroll]

Do you have the inverted mirror and radiant shards? Do you have to correct Salvage Site mission selected? Did you remove all of the items from the ship in question first?

[stuck berry]

This choice is unimportant, but yes, it's the beginning of They Who Returned

[subtle perch]

So the stats doesn’t really matter, just look for S class?

[analog scroll]

Indeed it is

[proven frigate]

So its unimportant or indeed it is? I'm getting confused here

😭

[stuck berry]

Level up your companion in Holo Arena battles

[analog scroll]

Indeed it is quest related, the answer you give is unimportant

[stuck berry]

scanned fauna bar reading is fully different from companion bar reading
the former is the potential (max level), the latter is what those are currently at

[delicate beacon]

I want to enter in a crime syndicate

Is that possible in this economy?

[subtle perch]

What’s crime syndicate

[delicate beacon]

Ya no sabe

[swift sand]

best you could do would be to roleplay as aligned to pirates/outlaw faction 😄 other than that, there's probably some #1418605454300549120 that are into that kind of vibe

[delicate beacon]

Seems fair

[hot sentinel]

OnceI bought a void egg, what do I do to trigger the quest?

[stuck berry]

Pulse in space with it in your exosuit cargo inventory

The mission has 5 major steps, with 4 large waiting times (~24hrs) in between each. The final step requires that you have 12 of the 16 Portal Glyphs unlocked #nms-commands message

[hot sentinel]

The starbirth one?

[wide onyx]

how to go from 4 star to 5 star sentinal wanted lvl fast??

[stuck berry]

Defeat all nearby sentinels

if you are currently too close to a Space Station, get farther away from it

[wide onyx]

ik about the bug

[wide onyx]

they keep spawning

[stuck berry]

Where are you?

[wide onyx]

wym

[stuck berry]

In space? On planet?

[wide onyx]

space

[stuck berry]

Are you somewhat near the current star system's Space Station?

[wide onyx]

ik what happens if the freighter spawns near it, i moved away first thing

[stuck berry]

That's not the issue

[humble pendant]

So, when a system has “water” as an additional tag on the galaxy map, does that mean there’s a water world in there?

[stuck berry]

The issue is sentinels pouring out of the space station due to being too close, and sometimes bugging out the wave end due to that

[stuck berry]

No. It means that at least one world in it has oceans

The "Water" tag is visually overridden by the "Dissonant" tag if both are present on the same system

"Waterworld" is a biome of planet that's exclusive to Purple Star Systems #nms-commands message

which all of them also contain at least one dissonant world, so they'll never visually show the Water tag

[wide onyx]

how many waves till it becomes 5 stars??

[stuck berry]

If you are at wave 4, the current wave

[wide onyx]

i am

i beat it but it didnt go up

[stuck berry]

land in the space station to clear your wanted level

then exit it, shoot the space station and instantly fly far away

[wide onyx]

yep then the fourth wave spawns

but when i finished it more spawned

it didnt become the 5th wave

[humble pendant]

And how do I know what type of galaxy I’m in? Do I have to look it up or is there in game indicators to look out for?

[stuck berry]

Then you weren't far enough away from the space station.

[swift sand]

even when far away enough, you may need to go through 11x2 ships (the first 11 that spawned because you repeatedly shot the station, and then a few more of the actual wave reenforcements) - and it will take a few seconds for it to turn wanted level 5 when you do

[stuck berry]

when shooting the space station just once, the waves occur normally but begin at wave 2 instead of wave 4

[wide onyx]

oh alr thanks

[stuck berry]

every time I've tried to shoot at it more to skip waves 3 and 4, it's taken way longer and/or bugged out

[wide onyx]

oh that makes sense

ill shoot it once next time

[stuck berry]

also every time I'd do that was one of the few times where my ship's shields got anywhere close to dropping, but that's probably due to combat scaling

[stuck berry]

or it starts at wave 1, I forget

but I do remember that destroying a sentinel interceptor between the Sentinel Capital Ship blowing up and the sentinel interceptors escaping will set your wanted level instantly to 2, acting as a quick way to repeat it

[swift sand]

yeah, i was about to say actually

if you just tap it, once, it goes wanted level 1, and then progresses cleanly

[hot sentinel]

How rare is korvax casing from a startship pilot in a space station?

[swift sand]

fairly sure as i've done this recently to test something else, but was thinking about difficulty settings

[swift sand]

wont get them - goto a trade outpost in a korvax system planet

[hot sentinel]

How do I find that?

[swift sand]

trade outpost/freighter/space encounter pilot will have them

[swift sand]

got eco scanner installed on ship?

[hot sentinel]

economy scanner, yes

[swift sand]

enter ship, quick menu, utilities, eco scanner > scan for trade outpost

[hot sentinel]

Thank you

[crimson gorge]

How do I get corvette parts outside of buying from the space station terminal? I’ve seen a ton that look to use a lot of parts I’m not seeing in those shops

[swift sand]

most players get them from salvageable scrap containers (see image) - can use some of these to barter for parts you want from the workshop (advanced modules)

[proven frigate]

Does this mean there is purple system nearby?

[inland ermine]

Nope

[proven frigate]

:(

[inland ermine]

Suns are purely skybox deco

Triary is rare, but nothing else

[stuck berry]

binary and trinary stars are basically guaranteed to have contrasting colored stars visible
but yeah, visible star color is unrelated to actual star color/stellar class, to add more variety

[inland ermine]

Salvageable containers, as bk said, clearing derelicts and choosing corvette parts as engineering room reward or (RNG based) from frigate expeditions

[somber mantle]

hello everyone, I ask you to create an autophagous staff and I wanted to know how to make it do more damage to the minerals, thank you

[quiet hull]

anyone know why my corvette does this when I warp to a new galaxy? the ramp just opens up sometimes

[stuck berry]

Just a bug

that happens most of the time when warping to another star system via a corvette

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[quiet hull]

ty gonna report it hopefully gets fixed

[hushed cave]

what kind of purposes do you guys like to use your corvettes for compared to your usual starship? it kinda feels to me that once you build a corvette, the utility of the starship becomes obsolete. unless youre using it as like a size/agility advantage point which is understandable

i havent built one yet but it seems like you can customize your corvette to do everything a starship can and more

[wide onyx]

how do you find lat and longitude ingame

[hushed cave]

on a planet?

[wide onyx]

yep

[hushed cave]

should be displayed on your scanner as well as the interior of your starship

[wide onyx]

yea i can see my current

thanks

[dark wagon]

how do i fidn my friend code

[swift sand]

yeah, that's true. though a lot of it still is about looks, the parts the other ship types can use, the process of building a corvette might be daunting or too much for some.

[swift sand]

if you're in game rn, playing your save, then options/network/view nms friends/show my friend code

[hushed cave]

can starship upgrades be transferred over to your corvette?

i just got a sentinel ship and now i want a corvette lol

[swift sand]

installed upgrade modules and techs? yeah, sure, can store them then install on the vette

[still tangle]

any idea when they are gonna release the update for xbox? its day 3 and i wanna play with my friend 🙁

[hushed cave]

yeah, like my warp drives, weapons, launch thruster autocharger, shield upgrades, etc.

[swift sand]

we dont know sorry, we're all just players 🙁

[swift sand]

yep yep

though note that corvette will have parts that give you those things too

[hushed cave]

settings > options > network > show friend code

[swift sand]

but you'll see yeah, when you start playing with the mechanic

it's fairly intuitive

[hushed cave]

nice, thank you

[swift sand]

yep, np, anything else just ask

[hushed cave]

do you use both your starship and corvette frequently?

or is it kinda mostly one or the other

[subtle perch]

60 hours in, first galaxy, still using starship

[hushed cave]

yeah lol i got me a dope S rank interceptor but my brain itches for a custom corvette build

[inland ermine]

I use my corvette most of the time, but I like having all my storage on hand, especially in systems where my freighter can't warp yet.

When I get Indium drive for the freighter I'll probably start looking for some proper starships

[subtle perch]

!!!

I completely forgot about that

It would had save me so much time when building a farm

Uugghhhhh

[inland ermine]

Yeah, the containers on corvette are a really nice thing to have

Kinda wish they worked with materialiser though

[subtle perch]

Na, that would make freighter completely obsolete

[inland ermine]

Maybe, maybe not

[hushed cave]

thats fair, i keep warping to far systems on my starship and forgetting that my freighter cant go that far. doesnt help that my starship warp drive can go 4x further than the freighters

[inland ermine]

I found out that this game always has 2 or 3 ways at least to approach an issue

[hushed cave]

don't some people build corvettes the size of freighters as well lol

[inland ermine]

In blender and with save edits, yeah

[subtle perch]

I just don’t like the getting in and out part of corvette

Especially with controller

[hushed cave]

bk cooking up a nice breakdown of his corvette and starship use

[inland ermine]

My man is typing hard down there

[subtle perch]

^

[inland ermine]

But tbh I kike corvettes more for one more reason

I loved Starfield

Still like it

But the shipbuilding was always the most fun

[swift sand]

i mostly use my corvette when "autopilot sure would make it easier/faster now" or when i want to spacewalk/skydive. i'm not very good at building the ship, that's offset by me always using cockpit camera. but i tend to go on long periods of time always using the same ship - when i really fall in love with a ship, i could be using it for years in a row. this sentinel i have and could call main, has been with me since sentinel ships were added, pratically used it every play session since then. i love being able to have 12 ships + 18 archived (though we cant archive vettes) though. i might fall in love with some corvette i'll build in the future.

[swift sand]

remember that when you do in stellar multitudes, you'll get resonance matrix, freighter's purple drive - you wouldnt need to spend that many sfm to get freighter's temporal warp computer (its indium drive equivalent)

[inland ermine]

Shush

Spoilers

[swift sand]

sorry

[inland ermine]

I am still on "place the 3 beacons and locate Artemis" part lmao

[inland ermine]

Nah, I don't mind

It's not a story or plot spoiler

[hushed cave]

ahh i see. no youtube corvette builds for you? 😂

[swift sand]

nah. i prefer to rock my own, even if it looks like crap, it's still mine

[hushed cave]

true true

feels way more personal

[inland ermine]

My man

[gaunt radish]

are all staff parts in the whole game?

• the ones u get from the quest to unlock staves

[swift sand]

see list

[inland ermine]

I tried to do something sleek, turned out that after 2 or 3h of flying it I realized it basically looks like 1:1 Gjost from Rebels

[gaunt radish]

huh

each camp has their own parts?

[swift sand]

yeah, you might need to hop through multiple camps to find the parts you want to use

[gaunt radish]

also, are these just cosmetic or change stats

[hushed cave]

@swift sand imma have to see what that corvette looks like next time you get on the game

[swift sand]

cosmetic. that said, the staff head and camp you then use to preview/assemble will affect starting class and appearance

[gaunt radish]

oh, so in reddit i can find posts of people with S class camps?

bet ty

[swift sand]

lol! yeah, i'll make a note to grab a screenshot of it. it has seen multiple iterations at this point, that's another cool thing bout them. anyways, steering this away, drifted offtopic mb as well

[indigo lion]

so im curious. what do yall do once your done with the story. what goals do you set to keep yourself playing.

[subtle perch]

I wanna be, the very best

But honestly the wait for horizon 6 kept me playing

[buoyant terrace]

What is the rarest rarest rarest possible planet in all of existence with no man’s sky?

[stuck berry]

idk, probably just a white lush planet with some rare subbiome like floating islands with a crazy color filter if those can even get them

[buoyant terrace]

White?

[stuck berry]

not sure which subbiomes can get which filters, but I found freaking this once

[stuck berry]

Yes, from my observation white is the rarest grass color for lush worlds. I've only found 9, out of the 836 lush worlds I've documented
This is definitely intended, HG used a white floating islands lush world for the start of a semi-recent community expedition, probably to flex

[swift sand]

it really depends from player to player. unlocking all the cosmetics, exploring and searching for weird or rare planet combos, the most beautiful or wildest terrain shapes, finding the perfect star system, exploring other galaxies, roleplay, chill, photo mode, researching mechanics, multitool hunting, fauna hunting, cooking for parties, idk - there's a lot to do.

[gusty vapor]

Hi Bk!

Is there a common bug that keeps you from summoning your extract?

[swift sand]

your "extract"?

[gusty vapor]

Exocraft(stupid autocorrect)

[swift sand]

oh lol

hmm

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of/recall atm - have you double checked that you got what's needed to summon it?

pinged you in #nms-commands

got the geobay(s) built (on a base) somewhere?

[gusty vapor]

Oh crap. That just got removed, after deleting said base! Answers my question! Thank you

[stuck berry]

I believe you can even build them outside of a base and they will still forever let you summon them via extended summoning methods

[gusty vapor]

Thank you also, grouch.

[swift sand]

once an exocraft is spawned on a planet, should be able to quick menu summon it to a diff position on the same planet without the geobay, but yeah, geobay is required to get it elsewhere, so that your save knows you own it. that said, i only mentioned a base because if you have to say, customize your exocraft(s), it's just a matter of going to the base instead of having to build one on the spot and delete it after. a little more convenient perhaps, and no parts out in the wild using up your base parts count without you knowing where they are either

[gusty vapor]

Part count was not where I was going. But that is super useful to know.

[swift sand]

yeah, not a huge concern, but still.

[astral wadi]

As long as you have the exocraft summoning station on your freighter or build one on planet you can summon any exocraft as long as there is one in the system

[stuck berry]

The geobay/exocraft does not even need to be in the current system, just built at all anywhere

[astral wadi]

No it needs to be in the same system

[stuck berry]

This is incorrect

[astral wadi]

Otherwise it doesn’t count

It says on the description

[swift sand]

my geobays are in calypso, i'm in euclid, i can spawn my exocrafts anyway

[soft trail]

how do i get a two input refiner or research stuff like that? is it something i can buy?

[stuck berry]

It allows summon while in the same system as the freighter

[astral wadi]

How do you guys do this lol? I can’t summon my Minotaur for n another system

[swift sand]

space anomaly construction research station, exosuit research npc, exocraft research npc (colossus)

[stuck berry]

Have at least 1 Minotaur Geobay already built anywhere in the universe

then summon your freighter to the current system with the Exocraft Orbital Materialiser built in it

[soft trail]

thank you so much i’ve been struggling with it

[stuck berry]

then, you can summon that exocraft freely, whenever your freighter is in the same star system as you

[gusty vapor]

As a builder I didn’t plan on placing too many of these, having one of everything in one of my side bases will do just fine.

[astral wadi]

I do

I apologize for my presumption

[stuck berry]

there is also the Exocraft Summoning Unit blueprint technology for the exosuit that basically is the same thing but on your back, making the freighter room somewhat obsolete

[buoyant terrace]

Anyone here wanna help me build a base?'

[harsh bough]

Is there like a water planet I can go to?

[stuck berry]

Possibly try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[buoyant terrace]

Ohh sorry

[stuck berry]

Planets that are nearly entirely water (Waterworld biome planets) are only found in purple star systems, which are locked behind an endgame mission #nms-commands message. Planets that have water/oceans at all are not uncommon though, and can be found in all kinds of systems
also, 20% of non-waterworld planets in purple systems have ocean depths that are 3.75x as deep as normal, though this is still less than 1/3 of how deep Waterworld oceans can go

[swift sand]

look for the water tag in the galaxy map, if it's just about any planet with water

[harsh bough]

There’s purple ones?

[stuck berry]

Yes, they are hidden from you until you reach their mission

[wet star]

They've got special planet types not seen anywhere else though, so do see about unlocking them at some point.

[harsh bough]

What mission?

[stuck berry]

"In Stellar Multitudes"
See this post #nms-commands message for details on how to reach it, it comes after the primary missions are all complete, as well as the Autophage introduction mission "They Who Returned"

[harsh bough]

All I see is the space anomaly, atlas eternal and new beginnings

[stuck berry]

Then you are finished with the primary missions

follow the post I linked to see what to do next, which will most likely be to lift the seal of a Harmonic Camp

[harsh bough]

My learning disability is gonna kill me XD

[soft trail]

i’m such an idiot i’ve been confused because i’m going to space stations and not going the anomaly💔

[astral wadi]

It’s ok! Mistakes are parts of nms

[swift sand]

you got this now. personal refiner mk2 is a great addition to any exosuit tech inventory imo mandatory. if you need some tips for nanites, feel free to type !faq-nanites in #nms-commands for some tips

[stuck berry]

I made a big list of exact steps to do here https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems#How_to_Unlock that might be clearer than the slightly inconvenient order of commands to follow

[swift sand]

Where can i find exosuit upgrade modules (NOT the drop pods) ive found a handful throughout my travels but ive never caught exactly when. sometimes i just adhd brain and do stuff xd

[visual marten]

alright thanks

[swift sand]

not many sources for exosuit expansion unit: yellow boxes in abandoned stations, mission boards, wheel barrows at harmonic camps, explorer guild envoy

if you got the standing on explorer guild, then those will be the easiest

[indigo lion]

idk my guilds are all pretty low. i havent done much to level thm up nor do i rlly know the best way

[swift sand]

donations are pretty good

[green jacinth]

Anyone know if suspicious launch thrusters modules can be obtained from suspicious tech packets? I've filled my exosuit and starship inventory with stuff and have a suspicious launch thruster module, been clicking for awhile on the packet and nothing's happening...

[swift sand]

if suspicious launch thrusters modules can be obtained from suspicious tech packets?
nope, gotta be bought from upgrade module shop in outlaw station

[green jacinth]

Alright thanks

[swift sand]

@green jacinth gentle reminder that save+reload restocks upgrade module shops 🙂

[indigo lion]

does this also refresh missions? 👀

[swift sand]

station missions basically refresh as you do them

a new one slides in after you turned one in basically

[astral wadi]

You can also buy one per space station

Just keep warping to new systems and head to the station

Next to the exosuit guy

[wise reef]

You can buy one upgrade form the exosuit vendor in every system, and a second on the Anomaly if you summon it to that system. If you have money, this is the fastest/easiest way.

[astral wadi]

Hehe beat you to it

[gusty vapor]

How many different helmets are there?

[simple epoch]

How do you get a pirate dreadnought as your freighter?

[swift sand]

check out this post <#nms-questions message>

[wise reef]

Capture it. Destroy the 4 engines at the back, then the 6 anti-freighter cannons on top

[swift sand]

or all engines+all fuel rods

@simple epoch note that pirate freighter can only start spawning after completing 2 rescue battle events and owning a freighter in a save

[simple epoch]

how do you board it after destroying the engines and cannons?

[harsh bough]

Can I get more tech slots for my characters technology?

[hot sentinel]

@wise reef earlier today, you told me harmonic scrap respawns, do you know what triggers that respawn?

[stuck stone]

How exactly do the translator techs work? Does it only translate words in the current dialogue? Or does it pick a random word even if it doesn’t appear in that dialogue?

[swift sand]

the hanger entrance is a bit towards the front of it

[tulip dust]

@harsh bough see post below:

<:info:850810445577453658> How do I add more Tech slots?

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

Current dialogue, and it can pick words that you already know

so it's wacky

also it maxes at like 7 words (so the A + S-Class ones are all you need, adjacency brings them up to a total of 7)

[hard flare]

can i destroy a dreadnought after taking the captain's money?

[wise reef]

I am not 100% certain, I think it respawns after a certain length of time though (maybe 24h or so?) I don't visit my saved camps frequently, but it is usually refreshed every time I do.

[hot sentinel]

oh, that's what you meant

1/3 of the harmonic camps I went to instant respawns

[indigo lion]

you get nothing. but if you kill it outright you get a s class freighter upgrade garunteeed

[stuck berry]

Yes, but you won't get anything for destroying it after it's surrendered, despite all the text saying otherwise

[hot sentinel]

and the first ever one I visited to do the quest that I lost, instantly respawned too

[wise reef]

Yeah, like, the Multitool cabinet is a one-time grab, but the scrap refills over time

[swift sand]

1. remember that translators dont teach words, as you learn more and more words they'll lose their usefulness
2. there's a translated word cap per sentence (7), it can hit words you already know too

[hard flare]

well its fun to cause mass casualties anyway

[hot sentinel]

I have one, that if I relog, everything respawn and it's the same loot

[astral wadi]

THATS what I did because it was only a c class I found

[hot sentinel]

I was able to farm 50 starship expansions in like 20 minutes

[wise reef]

It might also be visit so many camps and the next one has scrap. I never really experimented, I just grab it whenever I visit

[stuck berry]

Note that you only get this if it hasn't surrendered

[indigo lion]

hmmm idk there. as far is a know straight up killing a dreadnought always yields atleast 1 module

[astral wadi]

No it can surrender but you can’t claim the ransom

[indigo lion]

thats what im saying.

[violet badger]

Where do I find the mercenaries guild

[stuck stone]

Do you know if modded tech can bypass this limit? I’m guessing no?

[astral wadi]

Depends on the star system. They will be in the space station but only one guild per space station

[swift sand]

(there's actually a really small chance it drops an A or S class ship reactor instead of the s-class freighter module)

[indigo lion]

havent gotten that luck sadly

[swift sand]

and we can take this further by saying "only 1 guild per galaxy map region" @violet badger

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Been warping around, I can't find <insert guild name here> Guild envoys, what do I do?

It's 1 guild per galaxy map region, just keep warping from region to region, checking 1 station per region till you find the guild you seek. See embedded image.

Expand the star system info panel to see region data.
Ignore Outlaw and Abandoned systems as these don't have Guild Envoy NPCs.

[wise reef]

Someone once told me the A + S upgrades do not stack

[violet badger]

Where would it be in the space station

[stuck berry]

That's not true at all, and these aren't upgrades

they're blueprint tech

[swift sand]

observation deck, towards the back right

[wise reef]

There is also the C-grade one (Artemis Translator) and the B-grade one

[violet badger]

Ok

[stuck berry]

No, it can't surrender at all. There's a short window where it's still not done surrendering where destroying it gives an upgrade module, but that's it. Once it's surrendered fully (mission progresses past rewards), an upgrade is not awarded for destroying it

[swift sand]

for ship reactors, keep raising your standing with the 3 races, and keep an eye on mission boards. also, the discount on upgrade module shops includes ship reactor

[hot sentinel]

What's special about a space station from an abandoned system

[silver bluff]

How many xeno arena types are there?

[stuck berry]

8 (see this post #nms-questions message)

[wise reef]

It looks liek an Outlaw Station and is basically empty, except for some terminals and stuff in the upstairs rooms.

[silver bluff]

Trying to find triple S companions for each type

[stuck berry]

Yes, but those don't have any effect if the A and S-Class tech is installed, as the latter already reach the cap for words learned

[stuck berry]

Scroll through #nms-fauna, possibly search triple S, S-Class etc

[wise reef]

where can you see words learned stat?

[silver bluff]

I got mechanical and tropical

[stuck berry]

Can't, it's hidden

[wise reef]

then how do we know this? 😄

[stuck stone]

You can just count it

[stuck berry]

game files

[hot sentinel]

What's behind the pass t3 doors?

[stuck berry]

Remembrance terminals usually, which require the Remembrance blueprint tech from the main story end to read, they detail weird stuff

[swift sand]

the only stations atm that have the atlas pass side rooms (possible remembrance lore terminal room; requires completing artemis path for remembrance exosuit tech), the yellow ammo boxes in one of the side rooms can drop storage augs (exosuit exp unit, mt expansion slot)

[hot sentinel]

I didn't pass the door and I got expansion slots

[swift sand]

words learned?

or translated

[hot sentinel]

I wait for it to save and I relog and I can farm them over and over so that's pretty nice, but I'm only getting some for starship wich I already have a farm for

is there a way to find those stations easier?

[stuck berry]

Translated, sorry

[swift sand]

ah np

[swift sand]

no, not really. once you have an eco scanner installed, they can be identified when you happen to highlight one

[astral wadi]

Ive boarded it, destroyed it, and still got a module

Idk

[hot sentinel]

it needs to say unavailable?

[stuck berry]

Then you probably did the loophole where you let the civ freighter get destroyed

[astral wadi]

Oh yeah lol

[stuck berry]

which does allow that

[astral wadi]

It did get destroyed

[swift sand]

to make sure this is clear, translator tech does not teach words, only translates them on the fly

[stuck berry]

but most likely isn't intended

[astral wadi]

I’m an exploiter ig

Nice

[swift sand]

yeah. an eco type icon, always 1 star, and "data unavailable"

[hot sentinel]

ok, thanks, I tought I had to warp over there and then I would know

are they rare, those systems?

[wise reef]

Yeah, I know, thanks. You learn words from Knowledge Stones, Monoliths, and NPCs. The translator tech just translated words you have not learned yet, so if there are say 10 words in dialogue you don;t know, it will translate some of them.

[swift sand]

not really. once you know what to look for, you'll see them from time to time if you spend a few minutes in the galaxy map. every region will probably have a few scattered about.

[hot sentinel]

and what are these?

[swift sand]

reminder that translator tech can hit words you already know as well - it's not just the ones you dont know yet

[stuck berry]

Uncharted system

aka, no space station, no structures (except Portal)

no sapient life found anywhere normally in them

[hot sentinel]

oh ok

[stone carbon]

can you re-color a sentinel dreadnought after you buy / claim one?

[hot sentinel]

Ideal for a base then

[swift sand]

also, the only systems you can find mecha fauna in

[stuck berry]

Like any other freighter, yes

[stone carbon]

how extensive is the coloring? is it the entire freighter or just parts of it?

[hot sentinel]

what's mecha fauna

half robotic?

[swift sand]

robo fauna yeah

[stuck berry]

5,000 Nanites for each color, each color has a light and dark version that are tied together and unlocked at the same time

changes based on Purchases difficulty option, so -66% on Relaxed

[stone carbon]

I know that but how much of the freighter does it re-color?

[swift sand]

@hot sentinel e.g. <#no-mans-sky message>

[stone carbon]

I dont want to obtain one with an ugly color and not be able to change it fully

[stuck berry]

All of it, except for the hangar/bridge

aka, this part

[stone carbon]

okay that's fine then

ty

[astral wadi]

Are sentinel freighters better than pirate freighters?

[swift sand]

just looks

[stuck berry]

all freighters are functionally the same, besides the bigger ones starting with a few more slots

[swift sand]

iow, system freighter vs capitals/pirate

nothing a few extra bulkheads wont solve

[stuck berry]

per their class, with a little variation that's fully unrelated to any aspects of their design

[astral wadi]

Don’t they have lasers?

[stuck berry]

Pirate Dreadnoughts have the giant Anti-Freighter Turrets, yes, but they don't help against starships or civilian freighters or other Pirate Dreadnoughts

[astral wadi]

Got it

Just looks

[stuck berry]

they do target nearby Sentinel Capital Ships, but they destroy it near-instantly and it awards nothing, so it's most likely unintended

[indigo lion]

the freighter turrets are useless but the pirate dreadnought is covered in laser turrets witch do engage enemies ive had mine engage a poorly timed gang of pirate and it destroyed them

[stuck berry]

Yes, other freighter types (especially Venator and Sentinel) also have these standard lasers

[indigo lion]

i still hope one day they give us a way to use these lasers lol even if it is just aiming and firing from the stationary freighter

[hot sentinel]

What's the difference between starships?

[indigo lion]

Lots there are several different classes

[hot sentinel]

is a fighter starship significantly better for fighting or it's just a bit better

[pastel light]

Does hostile patrols mean they will always attack regardless of what I do

[upper walrus]

whats the best way to farm nanites?

[swift sand]

with a decent build, even an explorer that has no damage bonus can 1-2 shot an enemy ship in normal mode, so i'd not worry much about what your damage will be, and get more on the maneuverability side: a fighter will be a lot more maneuverable than a hauler - but any ship will do far better with a decent build on, stacking s-class upgrade modules

[hot sentinel]

I just started farming modules today

[astral wadi]

I love my sentinel fighter, I use it for everything

[hot sentinel]

and I went from using the default weapons to using almost top x class weapons and I saw a massive difference, wich is why I was wondering if as long as you got good modules if the class matters

[swift sand]

hostile patrols is an aggressive sentinel presence level synonym yeah. that said, there's a way to be on those planets without having to combat them. if one spawns near you, quickly melee jetpack away till you're 50u away from it or so, check what its doing - you'll see that often that's enough to force them to lose track of you, and if you keep it within 150u of you, the game wont spawn another sentinel to surprise you.

[astral wadi]

Modules are all that matters really

[wise reef]

Sentinel Interceptors are the best. ❤️

[hot sentinel]

so I just go for wathever ship looks the best and put all the good modules on there

can you put modules on a living ship since it's organic?

[swift sand]

there's a few strategies that can get you tens of thousands of nanites in a short amount of time, if that's what you're looking for then i'd suggest for example looking at sus packets tech/arms or salvaged glass farming, then unpack them and sell the modules for nanites.

[stone carbon]

Is it possible to see the class of a freighter without landing on it

[upper walrus]

so I just buy stuff in pirate systems and sell the content?

[swift sand]

a c-class ship with s-class modules will already be cruising. more supercharged slots though, that lets you push the build even further (C1 B2 A3 S4, adding more tech slots may be required to reveal missing supercharged slots)

[knotty frigate]

is it random how often the sentinel ships respawn?

[stuck berry]

By aiming your analysis visor at it, like from a corvette, yes

[knotty frigate]

I have markers placed all over where I found em, but when I come back a day later they haven't respawned

[stone carbon]

ah, I should probably make a corvette at some point

[hot sentinel]

Does living ships work the same?

[swift sand]

you goto an outlaw station (many outlaw stations, for a loop), buy all the sus packets tech/arms from the contraband agent npc in the outlaw station, unpack, sell x-class modules that dropped for nanites at the black market dealer (upgrade module shop in the same station)

[hot sentinel]

You can upgrade classes and put modules on them?

[swift sand]

living ships have several things of note on this topic:

1. they cant use regular ship techs or upgrade modules or storage augmentations, besides starship trails, figurines and atlantid drive
2. living ships are always s-class
3. you can farm living ship specific upgrade modules and techs, but they cant be bought from space stations or unlocked in the anomaly

!faq-livingship has pretty much all the details on that, feel free to check it out or ask some more

[hot sentinel]

I'll ask in a couple of days

I'm just on my first 24 hour wait timer

[wet sigil]

They follow the same rule as envoy stock, they will only respawn when the game "loses track" of the fact that you have fixed those ships. This is why harmonic camps are suggested as a source of sentinel ships, you don't have to mark each individual crash sites, you just mark the camp and it will keep giving you locations of crash sites. On rare occasions it might bring you to a site that you have cleared previously and hasn't had a chance to respawn, but you can just go back to the camp and find another spike

[knotty frigate]

ah, thank god I started doing that

[wet sigil]

Minor addendum: Living ship upgrade modules are the only upgrades that you can upgrade using nanites after they are installed. Normally, ship upgrade class is fixed and cannot be changed, so it's a little easier to get S rank upgrades for your LS.

[fresh birch]

Can a crystalline heart drop from fighting the sentinels in the air?

[swift sand]

from sentinel ships? afaik no

[stuck berry]

No, it can only drop from Corrupted Sentinel Quadrupeds on dissonant worlds

if this is needed as a repair item, you can use a Repair Kit instead

you can purchase Repair Kits from the Contraband Dealer aboard Outlaw Stations

[fresh birch]

I need it to make the Atlantid drive for my freighter

[stuck berry]

Ah, then you will need the actual item

[tranquil dawn]

I collect creatures and I don't have any mods could anyone help me get some sea creatures

[wise reef]

Was there an update today? My game used to go silent if it was in the background, and only kept the audio going on the Anomaly. Now it never goes silent if I switch to Discord or Chrome, etc.

[stuck berry]

No, the game was last updated 2 days ago #nms-news-ticker message

[wise reef]

Huh, wonder what changed wrt the audio then

[fresh birch]

Dang I suck at aiming on the ground lol

[fresh birch]

Did you change from full screen to windowed full screen or something like that?

Some of my games the audio plays in the background different depending on my window settings

[wise reef]

not intentionally, but I'll check next time I start the game

[tranquil dawn]

I collect creatures and I don't have any mods could anyone help me get some sea creatures

[stuck berry]

Possibly try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[swift sand]

hmm try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades , or perhaps use service bot https://nomansapp.com (questions about it should go in its home discord server)?

[grave sun]

ive done the void egg quest now to completion and got my first living ship but im wondering how I can use more eggs? Someone gave me 9 of em but idk how to use them

[fair raft]

soory i am new playeri was trying to hunt for a good multitool , i have got the sential one but its design i dont like so i tried 2 more sential but i am geeting same design and only 2 other ones i got is b so , any tips? also the higacked laser , i am too attach it bcz how fast it mines is there ay at for that in normal ones?

[wise reef]

All multitools on a planet will be the same design. There are only two designs for Sentinel MTs, pistol and rifle types.

For mining, you will want an Atlantid MT

For scanning, either Experimental or Royal

For combat, Sentinel or Staff

[wet sigil]

For now though, you can install a normal mining laser on your sentinel MT to make mining even faster until you get an atlantid, because Sentinel has "Hijacked Laser" and not "Mining Laser", you can install a "mining laser" in a sentinel MT to boost its mining speed even further

Also, if you don't like the design of a sentinel MT, you can save the game at the cabinet, and then reload, see if the design changes

[wise reef]

Sentinel are pretty much always exactly the same

[wet sigil]

Yes, though saving and reloading may get a second shot at a different model than the one it spawned with

[wise reef]

unlile Alien, pistol, rifle, experimental, etc that vary quite a bit

And if it's the mining aspect he likes, might as well aim for Atlantid bc the mining bonus on those are insane

[wet sigil]

Right, but that may be a long ways away, and while they are doing that, they can add a mining laser on sentinel to boost it even further until he gets atlantid

[wise reef]

you need to finish the Autophage questline to unlock them though

[wise reef]

I guess. My Sentinel MT is my combat MT, and I don't liek to clutter it with extra weapon types, since it makes combat harder

In fact, I want to core jump with it so I can break the mining laser in it since you can't remove it

[past delta]

are settlements just for passive income or do they actually produce anything?

[wise reef]

They don;t produce units, they do produce goods

but they are very slow

it's better to think of them as something to do than something to generate resources

[past delta]

so what's the difference between a settlement and a base with a few mining machines on a deposit?

[wise reef]

my settlements all have a net production of over 1m per day and it still takes forever to produce goods

[wise reef]

Settlements produce things beyond basic elemental resources -- Kelp Sacs, Living Glass, Nitrogen Salt, and many other things

[past delta]

would be cool if you could use settlements to like, train pilots or build customizable freighters/frigates or something

[wise reef]

Bases with Resource Collectors are WAY faster for generating resources and income

[past delta]

set up a "shipyard" when your settlement reaches S class

then you can start building up your fleet from the ground up rather than just recruiting random ships

[wise reef]

Settlements are more for alleviating boredom than anything.

I have 3, I visit them when I am bored, make the management decisions, upgrade buildings, and go do something else.

[past delta]

I'm kinda just trynna set up some autophage towns playing as an autophage pretending like I'm trynna build a civilization

wasn't expecting any profit but was hoping they at least had some actual function beyond just being a time sink

[wise reef]

They do produce goods, it's just slow. They also get the occasional visitor who gives you a gift, or they run expeditions that generate income or nanites

Maybe on A harder difficulty, it might be more useful

[manic vessel]

Better channels for a conversation. This one is strictly question\answer support

[ornate glacier]

How do I get living water?

Nevermind, found it :)

Is there anyway to speed up the Star birth timer?

[chilly juniper]

I read that Helios offers a free Emergency Signal Scanner each week. How do I claim it?

[shell ridge]

Visit them on the Anomaly and talk with them. You will see the dialog option there if it is available to claim.

[chilly juniper]

I've never had the dialogue option

All I can do is ask about their past or leave

[shell ridge]

I don't remember if it is tied to story progression to start seeing the option.

[chilly juniper]

Ah ok

[stuck berry]

Have you done a Derelict Freighter before on this save?

(this is the only requirement)

[wet sigil]

Same

[knotty frigate]

which edible item gives you tons of % for scanning?\

[wet sigil]

I use nectar islands

[stuck berry]

also make sure to be using the Nutrient Ingestor

[knotty frigate]

yeah I'm trying to make an anomalous donut?

or something

it doesn't give me info on what stats it boosts

[naive roost]

yo I am trying to get a capital freighter but I accidentally started a pirate one, I left hoping I could spawn another one but now ive done 5 jumps and nothings happening

[stuck berry]

That's because the cooldown is more than just "5 jumps"

[naive roost]

cooldown?

[stuck berry]

The cooldown is at least 3 hours of cumulative 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

If 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, completely ignoring/skipping the cooldown

[wet sigil]

You need nutrient ingestor to get the Fauna scanning buff from that food.

Anomalous donuts is fine, but just be ware that hexaberries cannot be grown or afk'ed so you need to hand pick them yourself

I use nectar islands because everything can either be grown as a crop or come from animals that I can afk with livestock machines, it's mostly a matter of finding such creatures

[stuck berry]

this latter mechanic is what you should be taking advantage of, as it can be redone indefinitely

So basically just warp to different Outlaw Systems until you stumble across one that always has battles, if it has a capital freighter that you don't want then move on

[naive roost]

k thanks, so I should warp back and forth in an uninhabitaed high conflict system and I should get one in 10 tries

[stuck berry]

It's that % of those systems, not a % chance

[naive roost]

ok so 10 diff systems

[stuck berry]

Also, uncharted systems never have a conflict rating

[naive roost]

oh

[stuck berry]

or 5 with outlaw systems

[naive roost]

I want the venator

but I get it thanks for your help

[knotty frigate]

I have it on my corvette

[stuck berry]

This can be done in Outlaw Systems

Outlaw Systems have the same capital freighters as all other systems

Pirate Dreadnought Events at their core feature a Pirate Dreadnought attacking the system's Capital Freighter

[wet sigil]

I believe you mean nutrient processor for the one on corvette, what you also need is nutrient ingestor, which is installed on your exosuit

[naive roost]

I saw it but I didnt think it was claimable

[stuck berry]

Well it is

[astral wadi]

is the expedition still active? (not at my computer and cant be bothered to check lol)

[stuck berry]

There is not any Community Expedition active

[naive roost]

i assume I just go inside it instead of the pirate ship

[knotty frigate]

wow what a process

[astral wadi]

sad

[wet sigil]

It was over a month ago

[stuck berry]

Yes, after the battle is finished

[astral wadi]

i guess im a little late. will there be an expedition for the xeno battle arena?

[wet sigil]

Most likely not, it would have released with the xeno update if there was ever gonna be one

[stuck berry]

If you don't care about the Pirate Dreadnought, you could destroy it to get an S-Class freighter upgrade module (only awarded if you don't destroy the hyperdrive)

[astral wadi]

ty

[gaunt radish]

yo gang

im trying to make a staff

i was wondering if their ranks are affected by the system

outlaw having the highest for S class

?

im trying to get an S class right away

[knotty frigate]

uh what do

[stuck berry]

Yes, this chance is determined by system economy

[gaunt radish]

alr outlaw gaming it is

[gaunt radish]

didnt know u could crack a void egg

[stuck berry]

If you wish to get your Living Ship now, Hatch the egg

[knotty frigate]

otherwise I have to find a shell?

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure what that is

[knotty frigate]

a host

I'm not really preferential on living ship tbh

[dusky pine]

When will the 6.36 update be out for Gamepass, for days now ive been unable to play with my friends.

[stuck berry]

We do not know, stay tuned to #nms-news-ticker to know when it has released

[drifting tapir]

Hii I'm new to no mans sky and I helped a frieght from pirates and its offering me the ship for free? I was wondering if I should take it or take payment instead

It says S class which im assuming is good

[hushed socket]

If you like how it looks, then yes take the freighter

If not take payment and look for another freighter

[drifting tapir]

It looks visually bad to me

[stuck berry]

THATS SO RARE

[drifting tapir]

?

[stuck berry]

That type of freighter is very rare

As well, S-Class things are themselves very rare

[drifting tapir]

Why is it.... ugly

[stuck berry]

Because wacky

[drifting tapir]

Is the color changeable?

[stuck berry]

Yes, for a somewhat sizeable nanite cost

[drifting tapir]

Also in my defense nearly everything ive come across has a big fat "S" slapped onto it so i thought S meant Standard

[stuck berry]

Also, if you wish to replace it with a different freighter later, basically everything can be transferred

[naive roost]

bulgy ahh ship

[stuck berry]

S is the highest class in the game, short for "Special" in many ranking systems

[naive roost]

u r tuff

[stuck berry]

These are the chances for any individual starship, freighter or multi-tool to spawn as S-Class

[drifting tapir]

Why are some S class things worse stat wise then C - A type things

[stuck berry]

Because you haven't installed tech/upgrades in them yet

The stats are almost always better per higher class, depending on the type of thing, but each type of ship and multi-tool also have different niches

But regardless, upgrades/technology are far more important

Thankfully the different freighter types are identical in function

Also, if you wish for a different freighter later then you can transfer basically everything #nms-questions message

(Core cargo and tech must be packaged beforehand)

[stuck berry]

For context on how rare this design is (the huge ball on the end), i have documented 903 regular freighters, and only 14 of them have had this front model

They are also always the longest they can possibly be (5 segments long)

[bronze lintel]

How many Corvettes can I have? I want to build some BS but I don't want to lose my functional one.

[stuck berry]

Corvettes are a type of starship, so they take starship slots

[tall dock]

I can't place any corvette parts at all

Tried everything

[stuck berry]

You can have up to 12 active starships at any given time, plus 18 in your starship archive. Corvettes cannot be archived

[stuck berry]

Do you have any in your inventory?

[bronze lintel]

Ty for the info.

[tall dock]

Im using free building

[stuck berry]

Then check again

Check if Crafting is set to Free

That is the specific difficulty option that enables you to build corvette modules for free

[tall dock]

Yup its on

Always has been

[stuck berry]

When you try to place an object down, does it display an error?

Also, does this save have a lot of bases on it, especially large bases?

You may have reached the construction limit of 21,000 objects

[tall dock]

No error

Oh

[stuck berry]

This includes objects used to build planetary bases, your freighter base and corvettes

[stuck berry]

Go to one of your planetary bases and try to place something down possibly

[knotty frigate]

So I'm in euclid and I can try and find the system I want for a possible config for a living ship using portals?

[visual marten]

is engaging in pvp with unwilling players considered griefing?

[tall dock]

Can do that

[stuck berry]

Possibly #nms-questions message but this is easier/more reliable to do with living ships after your first one

[stuck berry]

Like it let's you place them successfully?

[knotty frigate]

So just crack the egg and pray?

[tall dock]

Says limit reached

[stuck berry]

Most people would consider it so, I believe. Ruining the experience for other players is one of the only things you can get in trouble for (making bases that trap players, finding ways to attack others in the anomaly, etc, mainly through unintended exploits though)

[stuck berry]

Then you have reached the save file base part limit of 21,000

[drifting tapir]

O

[visual marten]

alright, so this will go unpunished, unless i engage in one of those activities or similar?

[tall dock]

Dang

[stuck berry]

Pretty much, you'll just be hated for it generally

[visual marten]

alright

[indigo lion]

How Would yall go about connecting a underwater base to the surface?

[stuck berry]

Note that there are freighter types/designs that you encounter later that are much larger/longer, those are fully different though

[stuck berry]

Using short range teleporters probably, but those have a limit of 200u so you would probably need to chain multiple sets of them

[drifting tapir]

Is finding an intact S class high energy neutron sink for my suit also rare? (sorry i just wanna run things by u)

[stuck berry]

That name is a procedural one that doesn't tell me what it is, what's it's smaller text below it's name?

Finding S-Class upgrade modules might be uncommon, but buying them definitely isn't, they're not rare in that context but just slightly expensive

[drifting tapir]

S-Class Radiation Protection Upgrade, it drains really fast tho

O, okay didnt know ^-^

[stuck berry]

Ah, that's one of those rechargeable ones that provide full immunity for a set hazard exposure duration, those are really good to have

[drifting tapir]

Should I install illegal black market modified life support things? I installed one but idk if there's consequences

[stuck berry]

You can recharge them with Ion Batteries, which you can get tons of

[stuck berry]

No consequences

Just that the quality is not guaranteed

Illegal upgrades have max ranges higher than S, but min ranges lower than C with a weight towards the lower end

[stone carbon]

what happens if you go to the connecting collision point between two planets

[drifting tapir]

Ive been charging it with uranium, I found a "five fingers" metal thing and it gave 1,000+ gold and 1,000+ uranium

[stuck berry]

So they are extremely chaotic

[drifting tapir]

O. I see.

[stuck berry]

The game gets confused about which planet you're on and wacky stuff happens

[stone carbon]

do i.. do i do it

i found two planets that are colliding

[stuck berry]

You're usually safe if you have some sort of restore point from before doing so

[stone carbon]

oh

[stuck berry]

Also, the game will always try to eject you from being inside of terrain, which with colliding worlds can send you quite far across the planet just to get you out of there

[stone carbon]

I have a restore point from when I left my ship

the terrain is so weird rn

[stuck berry]

For future reference, you can buy upgrade modules from the tech merchants on the upper level of space stations. Each station sells each module at a different class, S-Class isn't rare but just slightly expensive. You can install up to 3 upgrade modules per type, this limit doesn't include blueprint technology

[stuck berry]

The gravity should be similarly strange

Though my memories are from one that just barely touched

Which made that effect very extreme

[drifting tapir]

Gojo??

[drifting tapir]

Am I currently able to be messed with by other players and how high is the likelihood of it happening

[stuck berry]

Extremely extremely unlikely due to how colossal the galaxy is

But even if it could, you can disable PvP in the network options

Definitely disable this before doing quicksilver missions with other players, and be weary about other players bringing you to their bases that are on worlds with activated stellar metals listed (i think volcanic worlds are mainly used for that)

[drifting tapir]

Im just allowed to disable and re-enable pvp whenever?

[stuck berry]

No Man's Sky is not a PvP centric game, most consider any non-consensual engagement of it at all to be griefing

Also, there is no reward for killing other players. We cannot loot the graves of other players

[drifting tapir]

How can I move my freight ship? Im currently in a place controlled by pirates c:

I kinda wish pvp was turned off by default but the game is fire so far

[stuck berry]

Use the quick menu to resummon it anywhere while in space or on a planet

[drifting tapir]

Oh? I cant warp it while im inside with my ship?

[stuck berry]

You can, but that costs fuel warp fuel (they use the same warp fuel as starships). Summoning via the quick menu is free and can be done from infinite distances

[drifting tapir]

Seems broken but I cant complain

[stuck berry]

Summoning your freighter while on a planet is definitely one of the peak first time experiences

[drifting tapir]

(R.I.P i already charged it with warp fuel)

When from a galaxy controlled by pirates to one in conflict

Can my freighter be attacked by pirates if I leave it alone in a pirate controlled place?

[stuck berry]

No, it will never be targeted by pirates and cannot be destroyed by any means

It can help you if you're being attacked by pirates while near it, but the turrets barely help and are mainly to make the battle feel less one sided

[drifting tapir]

Oh nice, also im currently at the atlas thingy and I do not wish to follow Mr. Evil Rock, is it fine to accept it?

[drifting tapir]

Oof..

[stuck berry]

You'll want to do that eventually, but you can ignore it for now

[knotty frigate]

is this decent?

[drifting tapir]

Oh so I should accept it? I just dont know what im currently doing since the game is slamming me with mission and mission 😭

[stuck berry]

Accept it, yes

Then move on, possibly tracking the main story again

[drifting tapir]

Is my space ship able to go under water?

[knotty frigate]

so I can't undo if I accepted the signal?

[stuck berry]

No

But there is an exocraft that is meant to be used underwater, the nautilon

[drifting tapir]

Okay because I noticed the game letting my ship touch the water and I was curious

[knotty frigate]

Ended up restarting from a different point in the quest so we're portaling again

I messed up

[buoyant terrace]

What is a low atmosphere planet

[bitter crypt]

dead planet

[hard oak]

Hey anyone wanna play no man's sky and help a lil

Can I get a living ship without the wait

[inland ermine]

Nope

The 4 days are mandatory

[hard oak]

😩

[inland ermine]

Sorry, 5

I assume you'll need to sleep

[hard oak]

No worries. It's fun

Naw I'm up

Why

[inland ermine]

But it's 5 stages, each one taking 20-24hrs depending on how fast you get to the waiting part of the stage
