how to get multicoloured planets

[swift sand]

"land" on every planet you see

till you find some

[stuck berry]

If you seek color filters, gotta just manually look for them

[harsh meadow]

no

[swift sand]

i figured they were after "chameleons"

[stuck berry]

Then multicolored in what way, like two colors of grass?

[harsh meadow]

ye

[stuck berry]

or do you mean "chameleon" planets, which themselves are more of a form of color filter

aka, distance-based color filter

[swift sand]

still land on every planet till you find some, lush ofc is a prime target

[stuck berry]

these are very rare, so basically just look into every planet that you hope is one

[swift sand]

there's no real way to tell the game to show only planets with a specific set of player given conditions

[harsh meadow]

so multicoloured planets no exist

[stuck berry]

They do, we just explained how to seek them (if you're referring to "chameleon" planets like the one above)

[swift sand]

and if you're seeking something like this, they exist too

[stuck berry]

Yes, grass colors are usually two separate colors, so that itself could be considered multicolored

[swift sand]

could even find two tone glowing grass

[harsh meadow]

woe

[swift sand]

this is why we're saying, dont shy from any planet, especially lush biome ones

doesnt take long to drop on a planet, see what it looks like, move on to the next

[harsh meadow]

but did mean more like earth in terms of colour, lots of variation

[swift sand]

you'll find them

@harsh meadow you can use catalog&guide to help you locate planets of the lush biome, by locating star bulb. you can explore a lush type galaxy, to increase the number of lush biome planets.

Example: Since Star Bulb is the Lush biome's native plant, we can use the Catalog to lead us to a system with a Lush biome planet.

[drifting tapir]

Will portable mining devices mine more material then me personally doing it?

[swift sand]

no, they just wont deplete the deposit. two things to keep in mind: 1) portables like autonomous mining unit etc should be babysitted until they're done to avoid losing resources and fuel 2) you get a lot more out of the same deposit when you mine it using terrain manipulator with the smallest beam size, compared to terrain manip normal beam size (dont mention larger)

[pastel light]

Do you still get more resources (like copper) if you use the smallest setting for the terrain manipulator

[swift sand]

yep

[pastel light]

I use the medium one

Small one takes too long imo

[swift sand]

yeah, there's certainly that - definitely not a mandatory thing

[knotty frigate]

is there a way to reset the quest from a previous point?

I messed up my save and now have pebnis ship

[swift sand]

i assume that actually was "artemis ship"?

[knotty frigate]

no

living ship

[swift sand]

geesh lol

did you already update your restore point ?

[knotty frigate]

I didn't claim it but I want to reset the generation

[swift sand]

ah i see what you want to do

[swift sand]

so is this when completing the full quest? or getting additional ships just using void egg not the full quest?

[knotty frigate]

yeah I am at the finding host

[swift sand]

ok. so you exited your ship near the marked ship, is that it?

[knotty frigate]

I reset once and accidentally stepped out of my corvette

[swift sand]

@knotty frigate i think you should be able to restart using nearby structures (<#nms-commands message>), but i'm not sure if it will have you go through the portal stage again (you already have archived soul on you, so just wait and it should auto progress forward again, at which point you'd just return through the portal again

[knotty frigate]

oh excellent

[swift sand]

remember, if required to do the portal stage, if you left euclid, you must go back

[knotty frigate]

gotcha

[prisma belfry]

Thanks again 🙏

[fresh cloud]

Does opening up the galaxy map pause my game?

[swift sand]

for the purpose of freighter rescue battle timer since last battle, yes

it'll pause the world if you're solo too

[drifting tapir]

I constructed a square room and walked inside.. how do I get the door to open?

[fresh cloud]

Which means i just reset it nearly an hour in

[swift sand]

did you power the door?

[stuck berry]

The timer doesn't reset until you've encountered another battle

[drifting tapir]

With 2 biofuel reactors, its my only researched power source-

[swift sand]

when you do something that pauses the timer, it doesnt reset it, it just pauses it

[fresh cloud]

Oohh

[swift sand]

unpower the door

[drifting tapir]

Does it always close when powered?

[fresh cloud]

So the only thing that resets the timer is the settings menu? (Pressing + button on console)

[stuck berry]

No

[knotty frigate]

ok now is there like a preferable system in euclid to get a living ship with super charged slots?

[tulip dust]

@drifting tapir yep, unless you use a bit of an advanced setup; see post below
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Base Building: Powered doors and switches

When powered, the door requires a switch setup to work correctly, to open when a player approaches. Switches can be unlocked from the Space Anomaly, Construction Research Station.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

again, nothing resets the timer except encountering another battle

the timer is saved to your save file and everything, it is constant

it just only ticks up while not in any menus or teleporting

[fresh cloud]

I was told it was 3 hours of unpaused gameplay? So like 3 consecutive hours in a row or a total of 3 hours unpaused??

[stuck berry]

Cumulative, as I have been describing.

[fresh cloud]

Do i need space combat enabled to encounter a freighter rescue event?

[swift sand]

@fresh cloud easiest way to go about this is: (almost) forget the timer, the requirements: you dont need to know them, or even keep track of them. from here on out, until the next rescue battle triggers, always exit ship in station before ship warping out to any inhabited system. that updates restore point, that's your safety net. when the next battle triggers, if the system doesnt have the freighter you want, just reload restore point, and warp to any other inhabited system nearby. warp to uncharted systems to be able to move bigger distances in search of other systems.

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is a requirement #nms-questions message

[stuck stone]

I swear a few nights ago I found an anomalous hermit crab with SSS stats, but going through my discoveries tab it says none of the systems I've been to in the past week have any hermit crab fauna? Idk how to find it again.

[fresh cloud]

Ive had it off the entire time ive been playing the game... 😭

No wonder they wont spawn

[wise reef]

I just did the Starbirth mission. If I hatch another living ship, do I need ot come back to this planet? It is glitchy as hell

THANK GOD

[swift sand]

not going to be rerunning the quest again. be sure to dump any cracking void eggs or left over organs from the quest, if any

[stuck berry]

You must also be past a specific point in the mission "Ghosts in the Machine" #nms-commands message which is the second mission in the main story (not counting the tutorial)

[swift sand]

lol i feel bad having said they didnt need to worry about requirements, and then turns out they had space combat set to none

[stuck berry]

same but forgetting to add the word cumulative, things are a learning experience for all

[fresh cloud]

It wasnt listed and i never knew that was a setting 😭

[swift sand]

i was like, mostly just focusing on the 3h+5 ship warps though, "to my defense"

i see people worry about that all the time, and they dont have to

[spring whale]

Does anyone know what the reward is for this mission?

I forgot about it and Ive spent 10 minutes following the path, I have know idea how much farther it is and its annoying.

[stuck berry]

A sentinel interceptor starship crashed freighter pod rewards

[swift sand]

nah crashed freighter

[stuck berry]

ohhhh wait

two missions with the same name!

[swift sand]

ahuh 😄

[spring whale]

Just a crashed freighter? Whatever you get from the cargo?

[hidden estuary]

Do we know when the next expedition is?

[stuck berry]

Yes, just the cargo

[slate knoll]

I have a question. I am trying to use my rock hopper wings but they don't display in the build menu. Anyone else experienced this?

[spring whale]

Ok thanks.

Im gonna abandon it.

[stuck berry]

We never know in advance, stay tuned to #nms-announcements to know when the next major update is released and read the patch notes to see if a Community Expedition is involved

[pastel light]

How will I know if I’m done with the Artemis quest line? I’m tryna get the purple system

[stuck berry]

Do you have them in your exosuit cargo inventory?

[stuck berry]

When it's name reads "New Beginnings" #nms-commands message

See this post for the full steps to unlock purple systems #nms-commands message

[pastel light]

Thanks

[slate knoll]

I had them in my main inventory but I am wondering if I can see all available parts. Is there some sort of tutorial that needs to be Accomplished?

[stuck berry]

No, you can build corvette-class starships at any time. Is the rockhopper wing in your exosuit cargo inventory or corvette workshop cache currently though?

[slate knoll]

Ive had it in both. It might be in my Corvette inventory but the menu itself excludes the part. Do that its not visible.

[stuck berry]

Like the part in the corvette editor is greyed out, or not present at all?

[slate knoll]

Not present at all.

Within the Corvette editor.

[stuck berry]

This cannot happen in the unmodified game to my knowledge

[stuck berry]

Show a screenshot of this

it is on the second page, at the top

[slate knoll]

Oh I might have been looking in the wrong spot. I'll check there. I can't at the moment but thanks for the assist!

[knotty frigate]

so I'm left with a cracking egg after getting a living ship

[stuck berry]

You may discard this, it is now useless

same goes for the other living ship "organ" items

[pastel light]

WHY DOES THIS QUEST HAE TO BE ON AN EXTREME PLANET

this is so ass

😔

[tepid anchor]

hello

i need help with the alone admist the stars mission

whenever im at the second signal booster, the postion is always off planet in the middle of space

[stuck berry]

Follow this post's guidance to work around this bug #nms-questions message

this bug is fixed in the 6.36 update, which is coming to Xbox soon hopefully

[surreal maple]

When the xbox update happening so we can play Pc/Xbox together?
#nms-news-ticker message

[sleek pelican]

what's the max number of players that can be on a single planet/system

[stuck berry]

Infinite, but only up to 32 players will ever be in the same multiplayer instance as each other I believe. Exceeding this splits players into multiple, separate instances. Due to this, I've only seen individual multiplayer instances max out at around 15 players outside of the Space Anomaly

[stuck berry]

We never know beforehand. Stay tuned to #nms-news-ticker to know when updates have released on each platform, and use !nmsversions in #nms-commands to see the current version of each platform

[sleek pelican]

so, at any point, a max of 32 players can exist in any system, right?

[stuck berry]

No, an infinite amount of players can exist in any system, just that only up to 32 of those players will be in the same multiplayer instance as each other due to being in the same system as each other

[sleek pelican]

got it. thank you

[crystal smelt]

Whats the easiest way to get a good interceptor?

[pale valve]

Is the wiki outdated? It seems some stuff is incorrect.

It says that you can donate to the Guilds once per day per station but it has been days since I donated last and it still says "max donationed" for things I have to donate.

Will it let me donate again sometime?

[stuck berry]

Some info is incorrect, like that, yeah

it was never like that, it used to refresh after saving and reloading long ago but this changed, now donations/claimings are stored interactions, aka don't expect them to "reset" until you've done many hundreds of things on that save since then

if you wish to donate or claim more items, visit another star system in the same region

[pale valve]

Thank you. It does seem to be per station

[blazing tusk]

The wiki has a lot of obsolete info. And some things that were never true to begin with

[sleek pelican]

if by good you mean stuff like S class, then that's pure RNG. you can check out that one website, NMScoords something something, i think, for specifc ship designs. but they're mainly just RNG. of course, if you find a design you really like, you can keep it and upgrade it to S class

[crystal smelt]

Yeah but like whats the process of even finding one in the first place, cant find a clear explanation

[stuck berry]

Locating a sentinel ship at all? #nms-commands message

[alpine heart]

do i have to travel to a system to find out if its pirates or not? whats an easy way to find pirate systems if there is one?

[bitter crypt]

You can use a conflict scanner, which will tell you if it's an outlaw system or not from the galaxy map

Unlock it from the anomaly and install it on your ship

[stuck berry]

An Economy Scanner also works, and is far cheaper to install

Outlaw Systems have a unique economy and conflict tier

[slender mist]

hello everyone, so, i beat the crap out of a lot of NPCs on the xeno arena, is that all it needs to get Uranus gifts? or should i duel other players to get access to the new beasts in there?

[stuck berry]

I think each of them have different goals that need to be reached #nms-questions message

[crude walrus]

I am flying my ship and it is stuck inside a sentinel battleship. what can I do to get unstuck?

I cant damage the battleship from inside it so idk what to do

[stuck berry]

Reload a save, or warp

If you summoned it within the atmosphere of a planet, don't do that next time

[slender mist]

i think i missed the info there, all right, when i get back to the anomaly i'll check it out, thanks Grouch

[crude walrus]

yeah, that's exactly what happened

[lyric sundial]

Can someone help me? Idk what to do with the purge

[stuck berry]

See this post: #nms-questions message

Basically, warp towards the galactic center. Wait a few seconds after each warp for progress to register. After 16 warps, a shortcut opens up.

[lyric sundial]

Oh nice thanks so much

[vocal portal]

any idea when the latest patch is getting pushed to switch 2? version mismatch is being awful

[wet sigil]

No idea, unfortunately

[crude walrus]

Really random question for yall. Does anyone know which IRL languages the autophage language uses symbols from?

is there a list somewhere?

[stuck berry]

Greek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language

[river gulch]

Hi, have I misunderstood this or is it bugged? i've input all the elements but nothing happened after (Spoilered for story)

[crude walrus]

Oh, thats neat. I didnt know Greek had uppercase and lowercase like that. thanks!

[stuck berry]

You have not fully charged all of the glyphs. Charge Glyph Twelve to 100%

[river gulch]

HAHHAHAH

[stuck berry]

Glyph Twelve in the image is only at 10%

[river gulch]

I read it as 100% because they all are other than that, thanks for being literate unlike me

[naive roost]

Now that I have this freighter can I use its cannons or is there a specific scenario where I can fight something with it

[stuck berry]

Not really, no. Your freighter might fire lasers at nearby pirate starships when you're attacked near it, but these won't do considerable damage

[naive roost]

Oh, alright 👍

[dense marsh]

might be a stupid question but i just recently unlocked squadrons and made a few custom fighters can i hire npcs to fly the custom fighters i made or am i restricted to finding and hiring pilots with prebuilt ships in space stations?

[stuck berry]

You can trade ships to NPCs and then hire them as squadron pilots, but this cannot be done with fabricated starships

[dense marsh]

thanks

[river gulch]

Okay I think I have an actual issue now I just got back from talking to atlas and I was in my corvette, the corvette has spawned in the hill and I can't terrain manip it for some reason

[stuck berry]

Resummon it using the Quick Menu. If it says that it's critically damaged, either repair it's Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine or create a base and Save + Reload at it, then try again

[shell ridge]

Move to somewhere else and call the ship to you.

[river gulch]

Ah I didn't know I could call a ship I was already in

ty

[river gulch]

If it's damaged can I call a different ship and somehow get the broken one to a space station?

[stuck berry]

You can use that other ship temporarily, then teleport back to a base and save + reload to then summon the damaged starship #nms-questions message

You will still need to repair the Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine to be able to use the damaged ship again. The resources to repair these for non-sentinel/living ships can be obtained on any planet

[river gulch]

thanks

[deft current]

Can anyone answer any of these Qs (with some accuracy)..?
..Do underwater Alluring Specimens respawn if triggered within one's Base boundaries, or stay gone forever..? If respawning - slow or fast or..?
..Does anyone else notice the bright Sun shining through into underwater caves..? I'm assuming it's a new bug..?
..Why are the lengths of Pet Stats seemingly independent of their Class..? I've seen very short stat bars and very long stat bars for the same Classes.., um, why?
..Why does approaching my three Freighter landing bays, does the game try to always pull me into Bay #3 unless i fight it..?
..Why do some of my Pet Eggs look different now and some look the same as usual..?
..Updates seemed to have changes the living Frigate beginning Classes & Stats for most of my systems, does this mean during future Updates that my chosen Living Frigate stats & classes could morph after an Update..?
..BONUS Q: Rumours have said i may in fact grow old &frail and actually die some day, and that we all actually die, and that life is seemingly very short, so should i spend more time playing NMS, or do something else..? 🙂

[buoyant terrace]

Does the indium drive let you go to all star systems?

[deft current]

Yes, except Purple..

[buoyant terrace]

Also, how do i unlock purple star systems

[deft current]

Do a heap of Story Quests.. i'm not there yet, so idnk, also one can run a Mod for Purples..

[buoyant terrace]

How do i start the "they who returned" ones

The quest

[stuck berry]

1. idk
2. probably a bug
3. because you haven't leveled up those higher class creatures.
4. idk, probably because the latter 4 landing pads are the ones it keeps clear for player/NPC landing, 3 of those being on the right
5. mechanical companions now use mechanical eggs, which are functionally identical to normal eggs but just look different
6. This shouldn't have happened, but idk. I'd report any observed changes in this regard as a bug, as things shouldn't randomly universally reroll for no reason (we had staffs do that in 5.60)

[stuck berry]

See this post for guidance #nms-commands message

or this one which may be more detailed/straightforward https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems#How_to_Unlock

[deft current]

(I'm no help, i've played like 4000 hours and still ignore most of the Story, saving it for last i gues..)

[deft current]

Hey Grouch, couldn't you have taken the time to put the Qs into your answers..? Lol, now i'd have to scroll between my post and yours........................... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......

[stuck berry]

Pfft, srry. #3 is about the companion classes, #4 is about the freighter landing pads, #5 is about the companion eggs and #6 is about living frigates

[deft current]

Yeah, too late.. So Pet have level ups..? If they're high level then the bars are longer..?

[stuck berry]

Yes, as you level up companions, the bars get longer, up to their potential

Higher class stats are objectively higher when at the same level

[deft current]

Wrong thing there.., there are 3 entries, wasn't about the landing pads inside the three entries..

[stuck berry]

The bars you see when successfully scanning a fauna species are the length of those bars at level 30

[stuck berry]

Huh?

[deft current]

So, scanning them shows as if lvl 30..?

[stuck berry]

Pretty much

[deft current]

So, as if, but when i acquire them the bars will be lvl 1 and short..?

[stuck berry]

Yes, when you adopt them the bars will show the stats at their current levels, aka level 0

[deft current]

Yea, i recorded over a 100+ systems for Living Frigates, all their class & stats, but a few Updates ago most of them changed, so much for all my work, lol..

[deft current]

If you have a freighter, and you fly into it to land inside, there are 3 entry Bays, numbered 1,2,3.. The game tries to always pull my spaceships into #3, unless i fight it..

[stuck berry]

Yes, I explained why this is.

If you have 5 starships or more, only 4 of the landing pads will be open.

These 4 landing pads that are kept available are 3 of the rightmost ones, and the back middle one

Your starship cannot land on top of another starship, so of course the game won't let you land on top of those currently landed starships

[deft current]

I guess i didn't understand the nuance of what you said, bc i can land in any of the three bays, i just have to fight to control it into the other two Bays.. I hate bay #3, it's the bay that puts me on the Bridge next to the NPC that always waves at me as i run past him, breaks my game flow.. lol..

[stuck berry]

Maybe some bias was accidentally introduced, but wasn't noticed as it would require having less than 6 active starships to observe

[deft current]

I think i have 9 or so ships..

[true moth]

i asked in modding but i was wondering if its possible to get a pvp holo battle thing in ur base or corvette cause i have a pvnpc one but i want the pvp one from the anomoly

[buoyant terrace]

Can someone help? I found a plant and when i shoot it each give 100+ carbon

[deft current]

I wish my Pets could roam my Bases.. 🙂

[deft current]

Help how? Sounds great! 🙂

[deft current]

Before i think the Sun shining through into underwater caves is a Bug, i'd like to know if anyone else has seen this effect..

[deft current]

Tyvm for your answers! i'll re-ask the unanswered ones again later.. 🙂

[buoyant terrace]

Why did my base disapear??????

Its not there anymore what

[stuck berry]

Did you delete it at it's Base Computer?

[buoyant terrace]

No it was my friends

bur

[stuck berry]

If not, then it should still be there, unless you somehow loaded a very outdated saves

[buoyant terrace]

it looks like this

[stuck berry]

Did your friend upload the base?

[buoyant terrace]

No, i discovered the planet and he built it for me

I dont think he did

It worked before

now its not there

[stuck berry]

Well if he didn't upload it, then the base won't appear when he's not in that system

also, if this is a very popular star system, other uploaded bases could have pushed this one out of priority (but this requires 16,000 base parts in the same system to reach, which is uncommon)

[buoyant terrace]

okay for some reason when i restore my save i got teleported to another star systen

uhh

upload failed?

[stuck berry]

If you began the previous session by joining your friend, this is normal.

[buoyant terrace]

no my friends offline right now

but

the base we built together

is gone

[stuck berry]

Yes, I explained why this is

[long coral]

Sorry i needed to go to bed but i dont have all glyphs.

[buoyant terrace]

We built it 2 days ago, he was offline today and it still loaded.

[stuck berry]

Then maybe your connection to the Online Discovery Services is being interrupted currently

but if you were in the same system as it the whole time, near the base, it will have persisted between loads so that bases don't just disappear around you

[buoyant terrace]

I left the system, and joined back

Whats confusing is my base is still there, but not the one we made together

[stuck berry]

Then idk. Double check that your friend has uploaded the base later, and also check if Online Discovery Services are successfully working for you

[buoyant terrace]

this is the last time it was restored

[stuck berry]

This is normal, your own bases do not rely off of multiplayer/ODS connection

all of your own bases are always local

[long coral]

Isnt there a bug where when you try to teleport it cant load?

[buoyant terrace]

a base?

[long coral]

Yes

[buoyant terrace]

twins

[long coral]

I had it too

[buoyant terrace]

not working for me either

is nms down?

[long coral]

So you need to have a free mouse and go under that sign that says Downloading

[stuck berry]

NMS is not an online-only game, it can fully be played offline with all features intact.

[long coral]

And klick on it like you would. So long if the setting is long. Then go back out and in and it should be fixed.

And if not trie goong to the recent page or completly back out of the menu then try again.

I‘ve seen this on a reddiz post.

[deft current]

More Qs.. (Please be accurate, tyvm!)
..I deleted a Bio Dome i built, but it seems i have lost all the growing plant's mats, they weren't returned to me, is this how it works..?
..I want to delete and recover the mats for various Portable Units i built, how do i do that..?
..Do underwater Alluring Specimens respawn if triggered within one's Base boundaries, or stay gone forever..? If respawning - slow or fast or..?
..Same Q as above for Clam Pearls, Magma Vent crystals, Horrors, etc., do they all respawn like normal if within one's Base boundaries..?
..BONUS Q: Rumors have said i may in fact grow old &frail and actually die some day, and that we all actually die, and that life is seemingly very short, so should i spend more time playing NMS, or do something else..?

[buoyant terrace]

I left the system to join another friend, He was showing me this dupe glitch that i didnt really like so i unadded him. He seemed very sketchy. When i went back to my base, it was not there. I feel like he did somethnig

[long coral]

Oh but you could teleport.

[buoyant terrace]

Its my friends base

[long coral]

Right

[deft current]

Every time my Bases or Base building acts glitchy i Save, Quit, & Reload.. fixes most issues i've ever had..

[stuck berry]

1. Not sure
2. What is a "Portable Unit"?
3. Doesn't matter if it's in base radius or not.
4. Same thing as above.

[long coral]

It doesnt matter if isnt online you can still play it.

I think so at least after uploading.

[deft current]

"Doesn't matter".. it respawns or not.. how long if it does..?

[stuck berry]

Everything eventually respawns, but these things most likely go off of Stored Interactions, aka it only clears them when you've done enough different things on your save file since then.

[stuck berry]

Well he didn't.

[deft current]

Portable units are the ones that don't need a Base to build.. pick 'em up with R3 and carry in inventory..

[stuck berry]

Oh, you mean Deployable Technology stuff? If you do not know the locations of those currently, you may never ever find them

at best, you could use a Save Editor to locate what system they're in and their weird position system that can't really be read easily

[deft current]

..I do know where they're at, they're in my inventory.., but i want to delete and recover the mats..

[stuck berry]

Do you just want the mats?

If so, farming for these normally would be many thousands of times quicker than manually searching entire planets for small objects you placed many many hours ago

[stuck berry]

Ohhh, you mean ones in your inventory? Can't

maybe placing them in a base, then deleting that base might give 50% of the resources back, or it might just round down the singular item they normally give upon deletion to give nothing

[deft current]

Do i not get 100% mats back normally for deleted Base parts..?

[stuck berry]

You do. You get 100% if you delete it by hand, and 50% if you delete the base that the object is a part of

[tropic ginkgo]

base parts are not deployable technology

[deft current]

Oh.. ..And they end up in that thingy thingy (i cannot recall the name of it..)..

[stuck berry]

You can place all deployable tech inside of bases though. The question was "can I get resources back from these deployable tech items"

[deft current]

ik, the Q shifted a bit..

[stuck berry]

The Base Salvage Capsule inventory, yes. This inventory also has a much higher stack sizes for product items, like Metal Plating

[deft current]

I can try to put them in a Bio Dome and see if i gets mats after deleting the bio Dome, but i don't think it will 100% work bc i do not seem to get the planted plant's mats back.. ..lost a lot of NipNip lol..

[gaunt radish]

one of my settlement buildings says it can produce plant stuff and has this inside

[lyric sundial]

Does anyone know how to find a portal after i did the main story

[gaunt radish]

i can plant stuff there and settlement auto harvests or smthin?

[gaunt radish]

if u got a land vehicle

you can install a radar for specific structures

u find a monolith, go there with a relic matching the system main race and

it points u to a portal

[deft current]

Did you all here know that if one renames a System that it resets the Discovery Date to the renaming date..?!!

[tropic ginkgo]

!faq-portal

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.

[tropic ginkgo]

no, it's visual only

[gaunt radish]

ggs, how do i get my settlement to start producing products for me?

ive heard i can make em make me freighter fuel?

[wet sigil]

You have to choose the product from the overseer termknal

[gaunt radish]

or frigate idk what was the name

[gaunt radish]

ah bet ty

i gotta be out of debt to do that or

[wet sigil]

Only if you have starports built

[wet sigil]

Yes

Fully out

[gaunt radish]

havent gotten any in my out of debt settlement

tragic

i hate this rng based city building

sm

smh

[stuck berry]

Yes, this is completely normal

either it's fully intended, a limitation of how the discovery services operate or some sort of bug

[lyric sundial]

Should I buy a class A freighter

[stuck berry]

If you like the look of it, and it's cost isn't a lot to you, then go for it. You will get a free one offered to you #nms-questions message at an early point in the main story, which repeats endlessly after a cooldown, and is always free until you own a freighter

[lyric sundial]

I found a alien monolith but no portal idk what to do

[gaunt radish]

u talk to

it

and depending of ur system

u need to have a relic of the same race as the system

vykeen is a vykeen dagger relic something like that

[lyric sundial]

I did

[stuck berry]

Did you answer correctly?
If so, you can interact again to see the portal locate interaction

[gaunt radish]

u have the relic in ur inventory?

^

[lyric sundial]

idk haha i had a relic in my inventory

[stuck berry]

Did you interact with the monolith and choose an option already?

[buoyant terrace]

Whats the best starship build?

[lyric sundial]

Yes

[stuck berry]

If you can't interact with it again in the same place, either reload restore point and try again, or locate another Monolith

[stuck berry]

This depends on what you wish to prioritize, but having all of the blueprint technology, along with 3 S-Class upgrade modules of each type are a good start

[buoyant terrace]

Also another question, What things can be sold for nanites?

E.g. X rank upgrades from suspicious packages

[gaunt radish]

Acimut reactor

gives auto recharge of the pulse motor?

drive*

[wet sigil]

No, it auto charges launch thrusters

[gaunt radish]

ah

yeah im just gonna use one then

its not like i land 24/7 with my corvette

[silver bluff]

Will creatures hatched from eggs whose colors or anatomy have changed via egg sequencer have those changes shown in the arena?

[lyric sundial]

Should i put down a base at every portal i visit so i dont lose it

[stuck berry]

Their colors will show as their old colors, due to the new colors technically being an override. I believe all other changes will visually be visible

[stuck berry]

Yes, but you only need one portal per galaxy

[silver bluff]

Dang

[bronze lintel]

Is there a more consistent way to get frigate parts other than raiding cargo fleets?

[stuck berry]

Do you mean Salvaged Frigate Modules? See this post #nms-questions message

[bronze lintel]

I see, ty.

[lyric sundial]

How do i switch galaxies

[proud spindle]

Go to the center of the galaxy you are in

[stuck berry]

By warping through the core of the current galaxy to be sent to the next one in the list, ||ending the Main Story by choosing to Reset the Simulation (allows a choice between the four galaxy types #nms-questions message||, joining another player who's in that other galaxy currently or by teleporting to someone else's base at the Space Anomaly Teleporter, like one of the Featured bases which are spread across four galaxies, two of which being lush galaxies

Note that you can teleport between bases and visited space stations that are in different galaxies. Teleport destinations that are in a different galaxy from your current one will say which galaxy they're in.

[lyric sundial]

damn i didnt choose to reset the simulation haha

[stuck berry]

All galaxies in NMS can still be reached despite this choice

[buoyant terrace]

How do i sell technolagy stuff for nanites? where do i sell them

[bronze lintel]

Is there a way to preview Corvette parts or something? I have a design in mind but it's really annoying not being able to see what the parts will look like.

[stuck berry]

At the technology merchants aboard space stations

[stuck berry]

Create a new save in Creative Mode and build what you desire freely there first

[bronze lintel]

Am I able to save a blueprint of some sort or do I just have to memorize what I use?

[stuck berry]

Memorize pretty much

taking screenshots helps, as well as farming for more modules than necessary and trading for parts that you're missing at the terminal

(note that functional modules are more valuable in the trading system)

[bronze lintel]

Well at least now I have a way of designing freely. Ty.

[icy solar]

If you follow the base building missions and have an exocraft station, you can sell technology mods to them in exchange for nanites.

[buoyant terrace]

Can someone please help me identify these

[stuck berry]

Identify what, the technology? Note that this is extremely outdated, we can no longer install upgrade modules in our cargo inventory

[buoyant terrace]

ohhh i see

[stuck berry]

It's just All Of The Blueprint Tech, plus three of each type of upgrade module at S-Class

[placid latch]

I cannot find information anywhere, even tried looking in the search tab, online and even tried using Ai, is there a limit to how many buildings can be in a settlement? Like surely yes once the land plot is full but is there a rough number? Or is it just a random number of buildings depending on how much space of the land is used?

[buoyant terrace]

Im trying to make a very good ship build

[distant pike]

Found an s class frigate but it’s been on 35 expeditions

Should I buy it or not

Industrial specialist

[stuck berry]

This now may depend on what you wish to prioritize, due to the addition of Supercharged Slots in the Waypoint update (2022). I have some examples of what I do to ships, usually prioritizing maneuverability (Pulse Engine upgrade modules), weapons or pulse speed (Sub-Light Amplifier blueprint tech and Pulse Engine core tech).

[half kayak]

I've seen some people have some starships that follow them and fight for them, how do you get those?

[buoyant terrace]

I like this build, what did you use for it?

i cant really tell

[silver bluff]

do i need to buy the egg to get a living ship or can i find one?

[stuck berry]

Nobody's actually tested, and of course AI does not have access to the game files to attempt to observe this outside of anecdotal posts on reddit and the wiki. It may be based on how much space is open currently, but the placement and choice of these buildings is predetermined

[half kayak]

You gotta buy it

3,100 quicksilver i think

[stuck berry]

3,200

[buoyant terrace]

this is mine

[silver bluff]

wait i cant find a crashed one?

[half kayak]

Ye

[half kayak]

@stuck berry do you know?

[stuck berry]

By recruiting them as Squadron Pilots. You can unlock Squadron Pilot slots at your freighter's bridge

[stuck berry]

Living ships cannot be found without using a Void Egg to override a crash site's ship to be a Living Ship instead

[half kayak]

Ooh i see tysm

[silver bluff]

is there a way to get quicksilver easier than waiting a whole day for a new mission

[stuck berry]

What do you mean by that, like the technology inventory layout or the corvette-class starship's design?

[half kayak]

Also someone said shooting at a space station attracts sentinels is that true

[stuck berry]

Yes, shooting it once sets your wanted level to 1

shooting at it more will set it to 4 and make a large amount of extra sentinel interceptors pour out of the space station

[buoyant terrace]

technology inventory

[stuck berry]

I arranged it myself, using knowledge about how the technology and upgrades operate

I'm not sure what you expected the answer to be

[stuck berry]

Do the weekend mission, which is available between friday and monday and awards 1,800 Quicksilver #nms-commands message

[half kayak]

Is there a way to reroll the normal missions for quicksilver

[buoyant terrace]

Can you put corvette reactors on a starship?

[stuck berry]

The mission objectives of all the missions reroll every 10 minutes, but a new Quicksilver mission still only arrives once a day at <t:1765929600:t>

[stuck berry]

If you mean non-corvette starships, no. We cannot modify the shape of existing non-corvette starships, nor can we use corvette modules in any way with them

[half kayak]

Aw man so I must do the survey a planet mission to get another one 😔

[stuck berry]

Huh?

[half kayak]

For quicksilver

[stuck berry]

You can wait 10 minutes for the mission to change

[half kayak]

The ones that give 400

[half kayak]

Oh I misunderstood mb

Is there a good way to find a white sentinel ship or do I just keep searching for them in 1 system and pray it's white

[stuck berry]

Just keep looking, or follow coordinates documented by other players in places like https://nmsce.com/, https://nmsint.vercel.app/, https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/ etc

[half kayak]

Heard you gotta turn off multiplayer for those

[stuck berry]

Note that each star system that contains dissonant worlds only has one sentinel interceptor ship design that it uses for all of it's crash sites, they are all visually identical but their class and supercharged slot layout differ

[stuck berry]

That's advised, yes, in case someone is there currently who also grabbed it

[vapid sun]

Why can’t i find an autofage camp? I have the tool but it wont show up when i scan on a dissonant planet?

[stuck berry]

So when you charge and use your Polyphonic Core, what happens?

[violet carbon]

Could anyone send me TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML with all settings set to minimal, and everything turned off? Especially things like DLSS and FSR.

[stuck berry]

Why so, couldn't you create this yourself?

If you're having problems, delete it and open the game to regenerate it with defaults

[violet carbon]

The game crashes before I can access any settings, so my only method of changing the settings is through this file.

[stuck berry]

Have you tried deleting the file and then opening the game?

[violet carbon]

Yes, it regenerates it with DLSS and FSR on. I'd like to test if the game opens with all settings set to minimal.

The weird thing is that it used to work alright, before it stopped launching altogether.

Most people point out that it could be a mod issue, but my game is unmodded.

[stuck berry]

Here is that file

[violet carbon]

Thanks.

[vapid sun]

i’m not sure. not playing rn. i’ll check

How do you get an explorer up to 3K hyperdrive?

[stuck berry]

By installing S-Class or high-rolled illegal upgrade modules, and supercharging them

[vapid sun]

illegal upgrades from outlaw stations ?

[stuck berry]

Doing so with a corvette-class starship is also possible

[stuck berry]

Yes, but their stats vary from slightly better than S to worse than C, with a weight towards the lower end

you would need to install many of them to weed out bad rolls

[vapid sun]

what does that figurine do and where do you get that?

[violet carbon]

Nope. Didn't work. Thank you very much for the file though.

[stuck berry]

It improves Maneuverability, and the starship trails give adjacency to it to improve it considerably. You can unlock it from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion using Quicksilver #nms-commands message

i saw those but didn’t understand- are they a lot. Finished main story- jumped a galaxy- low on quicksilver tho

[violet carbon]

Alright. I'll try.

Thank you.

[stuck berry]

The small layout gives about a hundred extra maneuverability, depending on the ship type. On my Hauler, which has the lowest maneuverability bonus % out of any of my ships, it gives it 130.5 extra maneuverability

[vapid sun]

sweet. So do I get all those illegal upgrades by doing missions in outlaw system?

pulse engine w/x etc

[stuck berry]

No, you get them from purchasing them from the Salvage Dealer aboard Outlaw Stations directly (each of them offer different upgrades) or by purchasing Suspicious Packet (Tech) from the Contraband Agent and open them to get random illegal upgrades

If you do not yet have all S-Class upgrades, it would be heavily advised to work on getting those first

the improvement between average S-Class upgrades and the highest illegal upgrades is quite minimal compared to the extreme effort the latter takes to obtain

[vapid sun]

ahhh. Do you just have to grind stations in different systems and keel checking starship dealer to get em all?

[stuck berry]

Kinda, yeah

[vapid sun]

i know I can upgrade the ship via augmentation

[stuck berry]

You could save and reload to restock the Salvage Dealer inventory, but they only offer one of each upgrade module at a time

[vapid sun]

ok. cool. tysm!

[charred urchin]

Can I link a trace of metal to another settlement or is it stuck to the settlement I started it with?

[stuck berry]

Stuck with that one, until the mission is completed

[charred urchin]

So it's not stuck for the whole questline, just the one mission?

[stuck berry]

The "questline" is one mission: A Trace of Metal

[charred urchin]

I meant the uhhh questline to get the sentinel parts for the mech

After repairing laylaps

[stuck berry]

That's the mission "A Trace of Metal"

[charred urchin]

I'm on that.

[stuck berry]

Yes, you are

[charred urchin]

So you're telling me I can't ditch my sentinel ridden settlement that I can't deal with for another settlement on a much better desert planet without completing the sentinel mech.

I can't just transfer the quest to another settlement?

[stuck berry]

Yes. Until you fully complete A Trace of Metal, the settlement will be tied to the mission and can't be retired from

[harsh meadow]

how to add more technology slots

[stuck berry]

The same way that you add cargo slots, just pick technology slots instead in the slot selection UI #nms-questions message

[harsh meadow]

🤯

thank you grouch

grouch is best community member

[gray shoal]

Yo bk . U have a competition xd

[long nova]

Can I restart my save without losing unlocked content via Expeditions, can't i ?

[gray shoal]

Expedition rewards are unlocked account wide

[stuck berry]

All of your saves have access to these, current and future

[long nova]

Ok. Nice. ty !

[stuck berry]

you can claim them from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion aboard the Space Anomaly. Each one can only be claimed once per save

[wicked scaffold]

Hi, I have a question—one that some people might hate me for.
I'm looking for these two ships; I know you can only get them through an expedition, but if anyone would be kind enough to trade them to me, that would be really awesome.
Maybe I'll have something you could use sometime, too.

[stuck berry]

I could give the latter one to you, but the former I have never been able to successfully give to another player

The first ship is The Wraith from Expedition 17: Titan
https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Wraith
And the second ship is the Starborn Runner from Expedition 12: Omega
https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Starborn_Runner

[wicked scaffold]

Honestly, Grouch, that would be really nice of you.
Even if I could only get one of them, I’d be absolutely thrilled. ☺️

[stuck berry]

I would also be okay with that! I could try giving The Wraith too, but it most likely won't work unless something has changed recently

[fallow maple]

I was given the wraith like a week ago using the npc method in the space station

[wicked scaffold]

Oh man, don't get my hopes up—if this actually works, I'm doing a little victory dance in my living room. ☺️😂

[stuck berry]

I have now added your friend code

once you've added mine, you can join me and we can begin the process

[wicked scaffold]

I added u ☺️

Join right now

[stuck berry]

Just come to the Space Station and stand next to my ship while I trade it to another lifeform, who will then appear next to where my ship was for you to claim it from

[wicked scaffold]

OK

Got it 😦😭❤️‍🔥

What now?

[stuck berry]

Stand next to this ship now

[wicked scaffold]

Done

I save now and leave the Session?

[stuck berry]

Yes, the ships are yours.

[knotty crystal]

I'm looking for new creatures to keep as pets. Are there any tricks or strategies for finding the best ones?

[tropic ginkgo]

"best" implies highest stats for xeno arena?

[knotty crystal]

Yes, but not only that, I also want to look at the most beautifully designed ones.

[tropic ginkgo]

looks are subjective and randomly seeded
#nms-fauna or #explorers-archive if you want to browse for some others have already found

[bronze lintel]

How do I get the mech autopilot to actually do things.

[tropic ginkgo]

cannot, minotaur can only follow you and fight for you

[bronze lintel]

It says it's supposed to be able to mine and fight but it's done neither.

Shooting at things doesn't cause it to engage them.

[stuck berry]

It cannot mine without being piloted, and it might only be able to engage sentinels

[swift sand]

iirc that's the only thing it can do

[bronze lintel]

Oh...

[swift sand]

dont know if this will be useful, but fwiw you could try something like this:

they said that they managed to find a workaround, by first changing to a diff ship, exchanging that to a npc, then exchanging the wraith with that same npc, and that presumably prevented the game from despawning the ship.

this was back in february fwiw

[swift sand]

oh wait, it worked?

sorry missed that

[stuck berry]

Yes, it just worked normally

[swift sand]

both ships then, gtk!

good news. then exception is iron vulture only now. cool.

[subtle crown]

In making a corvette, how to connect habitat floor?

[swift sand]

finalize build, then go inside and open build menu, build stairs

[subtle crown]

Oh thanks

[knotty crystal]

Is Blaze Javalin important?

[swift sand]

it's a primary weapon you can use, like a sniper rifle - mostly, depends on your gameplay preference

after techs and upgrade modules and supercharged slots, they can all shred

many players tend to go with a single weapon per tool, but others prefer to have two primaries on the same multitool they can switch between according to combat situations

[subtle crown]

Should I use teleporter instead?

[swift sand]

short range teleporter wont work in vettes

[knotty crystal]

Would you recommend this inventory?

[swift sand]

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[swift sand]

you can certainly work with this tool, but right now the inventory arrangement is a bit all over the place. it'd be easier to show how to arrange things if you didnt have so much weapons stuff installed, between techs and upgrade modules. in short, the idea is to make squares with each main tech and in adjacent slots their upgrade modules (the s-class, the x-class ones, the ones we usually get from space stations)

here's a simpler example:

[subtle crown]

My multitool

[swift sand]

see how we're trying to keep things of the same type together?

[subtle crown]

You don't need something too crazy

I mainly use pulse splitter and shield against sentinnels

For clearing bios and horrors, blaze javelin, effectively 1 shot anything.

[swift sand]

@knotty crystal in order to make changes now, have some free slots to be able to move things around, you'll probably want to store some of that stuff

[swift sand]

i'd strongly recommend first supercharging core weapon tech, then if using more SC slots, SC modules

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Supercharging Rule of thumb

Supercharging (SC) rule of thumb:

• If weapons (and sentinel ships, except antigravity well), then prioritize supercharging the core tech first, then if you're using more than 1 SC slot, the upgrade modules (exceptions: neutron cannon)
• If not weapons, supercharge upgrade modules
• Do not supercharge stuff like personal refiner, launch auto recharge, launch thruster core tech etc
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[tired moss]

i find some weapons actually benefit if you supercharge the modules first. my neutron cannon went from 17k to 22k from just supercharging a module first

[subtle crown]

Aight thanks, your eyes are sharp, I can't even tell which slot is supercharged lol.

[knotty crystal]

thanks guys i will edit

[swift sand]

for NC's case, try to supercharge pfield compressor+modules instead of core tech+modules

!faq-multitoollayout

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Multitool Tech Layout

This is just an example of adjacency and supercharged slots. Note that supercharging bonuses always beats adjacency bonuses. Therefore, to maximize tech stats, split apart tech to utilize supercharged slots, as they will yield superior results over maintaining perfect adjacency.

For more in-depth assistance, check #nms-questions & #nms-multitools.

Contributors: Atlas Emissaries & Dharhan

[tired moss]

ohhh bet, thanks for the tip!

[subtle crown]

I swapped supercharge slots for pulse and blaze javelin, damage potential increased from 8k to 13k.

Crazy

[swift sand]

weapons should always benefit more from supercharging core tech first; nc's the only exception because more spheres = a lot more damage

[tulip dust]

@subtle crown
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Damage Potential...

• Isn't a damage ceiling, or how much damage any of the installed weapons will do either;
• Is a value calculated by the game using multiple variables, including the damage innate bonus of the MT/ship and the current Tech inventory:
  • On multi-tool, only the strongest weapon system installed is included;
    -# Note: Mining Beam also counts as a weapon.
  • On starship, all installed weapon systems are included.

Summary: To more fairly compare two different MT/Ships, strip them both down to bare techs, ensuring nothing is supercharged.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[subtle crown]

WHat's NC?

[tired moss]

neutron cannon

[subtle crown]

Is it newly added?

[tired moss]

think blaze javelin, but stronger

[tired moss]

i dont think it is

[subtle crown]

Hmm, should I swap from blaze javelin to NC?

[tired moss]

to clarify, i mean stronger by splash damage. its amazing at taking out groups, tho not sure about 1v1

[swift sand]

be sure to get both mass accelerator and waveform oscillator - try to supercharge waveform osc instead of mass accel

[swift sand]

blaze is like a sniper, nc is like a charge up space shotgun with aoe blast on hit

[subtle crown]

Yes, I have both, but why supercharge it though?

It only gives better stun duration which I don't think is useful if they're oneshotted

[subtle crown]

I see, I'll keep blaze javelin

Only problem with the blaze javelin for me is that I have to go into inventory or quick menu to refill it

[swift sand]

note that your damage potential isn't being calculated with the sum of all weapons - it is only the most powerful one (because of your buffing it with modules and tech upgrades and supercharged slots) that's being counted in. for clarity, having more weapons installed doesnt buff all your other weapons.

[swift sand]

nvm, my bad. i was confusing waveform osc being the damage one. it's correct as is, mass accell should be the one sc'd

[subtle crown]

I see

[swift sand]

if you wanted, you could swap things around

move the pulse spitter cluster down to the section of the grid in order to use the 2 adjacent supercharged slots

[subtle crown]

This is so weird

Why does the rocket booster block the whole surface connected to it

I see plenty of free space to put windows.

My corvette looks so weird

[swift sand]

yeah, just the way they designed it

Does adding up to 3 turrets fire all of it?

Or only 1 turret actually firing? The rest goes into tech buff?

[swift sand]

yep, it should

[subtle crown]

Ay thanks

Oh well

Now I gotta go farm storage augmentation.

[frank prism]

sooo, got an autophage settlement and it says to build a new building in the overseer unit, issue is, there is no overseer unit

there's also a "construct the overseer unit" quest marked as complete, but I haven't built one?

[swift sand]

there's a trick with corvettes: if you fill up every tech slot (e.g. with c-class upgrade modules), then the next corvette module you add that needs a tech slot to add a tech, if they're all full, game will add a free permanent tech slot

[swift sand]

try to go to the station of the system (or warp out and back in), save+reload, then fly back down to the settlement

[subtle crown]

Is my jetpack boost supposed to be normal fire in space?

[charred urchin]

Hey so how hard is the deepwater guardian with the minotaur?

[subtle crown]

Coz my boost is purple

[subtle crown]

Ohhhh interesting

Are there anything else I can use instead of a stair?

[swift sand]

not sure sorry, i'm a first person player - i think that's normal because of them being just navigation helper boosters, more like actual astronaut jetpacks are

[subtle crown]

Stair wastes space

My room is already small :<

[swift sand]

it's pretty easy

[charred urchin]

Like with basic minotaur? Or upgraded?

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware of sorry, but try asking around #nms-corvette-discussion maybe someone there knows some trick/workaround

[swift sand]

probably upgraded a bit i guess yeah - but honestly, it goes down pretty easily if you got a decent build on your multitool, nothing fancy required. if you'd like, post a screenshot of your multitool tech inventory to get some tips

i'd say that mino cannon will do pretty good, without upgrades might take a bit longer

[charred urchin]

Ehh I should be fine once I get the uhh plasma splitter outfitted in my multitool with some sentinel upgrades

[swift sand]

note that sentinel upgrade modules only buff boltcaster

so if you're mainly using pulse spitter, those wont help you

[charred urchin]

Aw what?

[swift sand]

ahuh yeah

[charred urchin]

The sentinel upgrades only work for boltcaster?

Not any of the other weapons?

[swift sand]

yeah, just boltcaster

[charred urchin]

Damn

[swift sand]

have you seen it in action? <#nms-questions message>

boltcaster can be absolutely devastating

[charred urchin]

Honestly I don't like the 3 shot burst of it, that's why I either go with the full auto plasma splitter or the uhhh shotgun

[swift sand]

take a look at that video 😉

[subtle crown]

That looks nice

[charred urchin]

..That's a fucking sentinel walker and it went down so fast oh my god

[swift sand]

ahuh

Starting to have more faith in the bolt caster

[swift sand]

so iow, dont be deceived by what a weapon does without upgrades

upgrades change everything

and supercharged slots, well, that's just gonna push it through the roof in some cases

[charred urchin]

Sentinel upgrades drop from the uhh purple glass right?

[swift sand]

yeah, from salvaged glass

[charred urchin]

Salvaged glass from interceptors

Cool

[swift sand]

or non-corrupted sentinels too; i like to escalate to wanted level 3, then just keep killing every sentinel unit except the summoners

they'll just keep spawning tons (#2 is the summoner)

you can basically keep that going forever if you wanted

[charred urchin]

I hate the little pyramid ones

Unlimited shields on those guys

Hate it

[swift sand]

nah

they can be taken out quite easily

that said

if you're farming glass, yeah, dont

leave them alive

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **How to find Mechafauna?**

Mechafauna are an alien animal species in No Man's Sky. They can appear as mechanical, sentient quadrupeds (should not be confused with sentinel quads, or arachnids), or as walking buildings. They come with an assortment of ornamental parts. Quadrupeds » Walking buildings »

There are some very specific things to look for when trying to find the mechafauna:

• You must be in an Uncharted system (Red, Blue, Green stars, preferably in Red).
• After scanning the system either via Freighter or by landing on the planets:
• Either select the Exploration Guide in your logs to check how many fauna species are on that planet.
• Or look at the hint at the bottom right hand side of the screen after scanning anything on the planet while exploration guide is selected from the logs.
• Or look into the Discovery tab to find the total number of creatures.
  The planet must have 4 animal species.

📖 Did you know?

• Mechafauna can be tamed, ridden, the quadrupeds can be decorated on their chest.
• Creature Pellets can be used to tame them, but only with Automated Feeders. Direct interaction uses an Ion Battery, and they produce chewy wire instead of organic materials.
• They lay eggs that can be genetically modified in the Egg Sequencer. A list of items used to change the quadruped colors can be found here #nms-fauna message
• Walking buildings will spawn 5 alerted sentinels if destroyed, as well as drop a Mineral record that can be analyzed to reward you 30-100 nanites.

If you're trying to hatch a void egg into a specific living ship, do you need to be at that ship's coordinates when the egg hatches or at some stage before that?

steam updated

xbox/gp hasnt

[merry rover]

Ohh

[swift sand]

xbox/gp has to wait

[merry rover]

Ps has tho

how can we resolve it

[swift sand]

well, we can only target specific coordinates when not running the full quest, only when getting additional ones after completing the quest. !faq-livingship has a guide on it. you'll be using restart using nearby structures to get it to ping the site you'll be close to.

[frank prism]

Steam, PS4/5, Switch and xbox all come out on their own terms, and it's not up to Hello Games or you when they do get accepted/verified and are officially out on those platforms, different platforms have different wait times on when a pushed update comes to it

tl;dr: wait a day or two

[past delta]

Ah so your first egg is just completely random?

[abstract ivy]

Alta's

[abstract ivy]

Ty

[swift sand]

completing the quest? there's still a way to reroll the site to a diff one, other than the one the quest first points you to

[frank prism]

keep an eye out on #nms-news-ticker for the platform you're interested in, there's frequent updates there

[swift sand]

but you cant target specific (latitude+longitude) coords you found online

[past delta]

Hmmm, from the googling that just sounds like a pain, guess imma just wait 8 days till I can get another one...

[subtle crown]

Rolling a site takes a minute as best

better than 8 days

[past delta]

Or does your first living ship have some special bonus?

[swift sand]

getting additional LS wont require running the full quest, but gathering the quicksilver yeah, will take a few days. that said ofc, you could get another egg from another player if you got multiplayer

[swift sand]

nah

[swift sand]

<#nms-questions message> it's not too much

[frank prism]

is going around and collecting buried caches still the best way to get salvaged data?

[swift sand]

buried tech modules and yeah, but it's possible to rarely find trade terminals that sell a lot of it

[frank prism]

so go around getting buried tech and check trade terminals regularly, got it

[swift sand]

yeah, i'd also suggest focusing on terminals planet side, in t3 systems

trade outpost, minor settlement, parchive

[frank prism]

what about corvette parts?

since you can no longer get salvage thingies on dead moons, what's the best way now?

[knotty crystal]

There was some kind of website where we could understand the value of a frigate's stats while looking at it, what was it called?

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Frigates in a Nutshell

• Base stats don't matter much, unless you're trying to get maxed out frigates as a personal goal - it won't be necessary to successfully complete all expeditions.
• Recruiting C-class frigates with less than 4 expeditions and low fuel usage (2-4 for supports, 4-7 for non-supports) is a perfectly valid strategy, as they still have all their 10 rankups ahead of them, with the potential to become even stronger than natural spawn higher class frigates (note: Living Frigates are different, since they always spawn with 0 expeditions completed);
• The goal is to have enough frigates to not only run expeditions, but to have balanced fleets, always scoring at least 1 star higher than expedition difficulty rating;
• What is a balanced fleet? A fleet that's decently powerful on all 4 stat types, i.e. combat, exploration, trade, industrial;
• Later on, freighter fleet upgrade modules will help push every fleet you send to 150 score on all 4 stat types.
  

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

the formula for base stats is up above on that gunter post

@knotty crystal that said, there's a few frigate calculators - e.g. https://nmscd.com/frigate-calculator/

[knotty crystal]

yeah thanks

[late mortar]

its been a while since i played, but this should be showing a fuel cost right?

[swift sand]

it's not because it's not gonna cost any

that support frigate you got there and the shorter duration is allowing it

the other two frigs probably also have a very decent fuel usage value

and possibly a few traits

[subtle crown]

My ship looks weird

[swift sand]

yeah, should be showing there. hmm

try to beam up to it, then back down?

[subtle crown]

Bruh it increased from 50 mil to 75 mil

So expensive

[subtle crown]

How do I beam there?

Based on this graphic, does having spider leg or track treads make the collosus navigate through mountainous areas easier?

[swift sand]

via freighter hanger, there's a short range teleporter in the back

[subtle crown]

With 627 mil I can buy 8 slots at best, Ima go asking in the Anomaly.

[swift sand]

some players mentioned they felt it was stabler at times, yeah, but it wont make a huge difference if you really push it

[swift sand]

with that cash, you could buy many low inventory a- and s-class ships, and scrap them for 1-3 storage augs per ship

!faq-storageaugments

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Storage Augmentation Drop Rates**

Scrapping a ship at the Starship Outfitting Station in a Space Station (7) has a chance to drop Storage Augmentation modules.

See: Image Drop Chances »

Living Ships can not be scrapped.

Tips

• The amount of storage augmentation modules that drops is fixed to ship class and seed (the looks and name of the ship are also fixed to a ship's seed). It is not affected by how many (usable) slots the ship has.
• Therefore, when buying ships to scrap, buy Exotics, or low inventory A / S class Explorers, Fighters and Solars, as they're less expensive.
• If a ship drops [X] number of storage augmentation modules, obtaining and scrapping more copies of the exact same ship -- in the same system, with the same class, ship name, etc. -- will drop the same [X] number of augments.
• To help you farm augments, keep a log of which ships have a higher augment drop number when scrapped - see example »

[subtle crown]

Yeah it works, thanks. I really thought I have to fly to the corvette myself.

Holy sh, what pet is this?

I want one!!

That's actually a corvette lol

[swift sand]

yeah, some players add decorations on the outside of the corvette (you can), and attempt to make it look organic/alien like that one

[worldly sable]

When or how do I unlock chests or something to put my stuff in my base ? I just unlocked the better mining laser

[swift sand]

keep progressing through the main storyline. there's 10 storage container blueprints to unlock; 1 of them for free from base computer archives, the other ones from expanding the base secondary quest. or once you have access to the space anomaly, unlock them with salvaged data from the space anomaly construction research station

main storyline goes awakenings, alone amidst the stars, etc

[dense sapphire]

How do i get cool good freighter

[swift sand]

in short, if you dont have options/difficulty/space combat set to none, and just keep playing and progressing quests, you'll naturally acquire a freighter. "cool and good" really depends on you. what kind of freighter type do you want to get?

How to get sentinel freigher

Capital

[swift sand]

just play the game, but until the next battle triggers, always exit ship in station before warping out to another system. that save aka restore point is your safety net. when the next battle triggers on some random system, if the freighter to rescue isn't the one you want, simply pause/options/reload restore point, and warp to any t3 eco or outlaw inhabited system - there's 1 capital freighter design per system, not including pirate freighter, which means that if you dont like the freighter you'd get from a system, you just reload restore point again, and warp to a diff system.

[supple goblet]

Hi, everytime i use photo mode, it shows the glyph. But when i capture then check photo, it was cut off. May i ask, how to keep the glyph, ty

[dense sapphire]

I found 1

But isk how to defeat

[analog scroll]

Don't hide the UI, let photo mode hide it. Additionally, use the platform screenshot button

[analog scroll]

Actual Sentinel Freighters, those that show up at 5-star wanted level while in space, can only be destroyed. They cannot be claimed. You can get one like it in roughly 50% of non-dreadnought freighter battle events

[supple goblet]

Oki ty

[dense sapphire]

Yo

I beat sentinel freigher

And i got this

[analog scroll]

That will take you directly to a sentinel interceptor site when used in a viable system

[dense sapphire]

Sentinel interceptor

Or capital ship

[analog scroll]

Interceptor

[dense sapphire]

Aw

I wanted sentinel capital ship

[knotty crystal]

Is there some kind of website that shows me where I can get which decorations?

[analog scroll]

As I said, actual Sentinel freighters cannot be claimed. Dreadnought-type capital ships exist in roughly 50% of systems

[analog scroll]

It will either be a quicksilver purchase, a collectible anomaly, or something from one of the decoration tabs in the base construction research terminal at the Anomaly almost all of the time

[frank prism]

what does upgrading the class of a corvette do?

beside more supercharged slots

does it expand the amount of tech slosts?

[analog scroll]

More max cargo and tech slots, moves the bonus ranges to the next tier

[analog scroll]

The maximum number, yes. You still have to add the slots

[frank prism]

got it, thanks

[knotty crystal]

ok thanks

[dense sapphire]

Can i get this

[swift sand]

if you already meet the requirements to spawn pirate freighter, yes

[analog scroll]

You have to meet the requirements, but yes

[dense sapphire]

Aw

Can someone helpnme

Like

Other people

Can they help me

Get freighter

[analog scroll]

Freighter battles in a group are iffy at best

[dense sapphire]

Iffy

?

Also what are the requirement

My screen small

Cant clearly see

[swift sand]

as in, can lead to bugs with the rescue battle event itself, or extra spawns on enemy ships, invulnerable enemy ships etc

[analog scroll]

For an outlaw freighter?

• At least your 3rd freighter rescue event on your save
• Already own a freighter
• Space Combat cannot be set to None
• Freighter battles happen with a 3 played hour and 5 warp cooldown between events

[dense sapphire]

Whats a freighter rescue

[analog scroll]

When you warp into a system and a freighter is under attack

[dense sapphire]

Oh

[analog scroll]

They start happening regularly when you are through the story mission Ghosts in the Machine

[dense sapphire]

I have like 2-4

Of those

Ill do 1 more

I js didnt 1

Did*

And hit anothee freighter

Who declare war on me

[dense sapphire]

Accidently

[swift sand]

someone could taxi you to such a system, and then all you'd have to do would be to leave group, and warp out and back in

[dense sapphire]

Ok

[subtle crown]

Aren't all pirate freighters the same?

[analog scroll]

Yes

[subtle crown]

Or do they add variations now?

So why do you have to wait for 3rd rescue event? Why not go for it on the first event?

[spice veldt]

im stuck on nulls observatory mission because the obvservatory door is stuck underground

[analog scroll]

Because Capital freighters do not appear until the 3rd battle of a save

[analog scroll]

Warp 4000+ ly away and reset the mission via your mission log

[spice veldt]

i dont even think ill make it that far

[analog scroll]

Summon the Anomaly, teleport to a featured base

Repeat if necessary

[spice veldt]

how do i restart a mission? is never an option ive seen

[analog scroll]

It will appear as an option in the mission log on that mission if you meet the criteria to reset it

[subtle crown]

Only some missions support restarting

[analog scroll]

But most of the story can be reset

[tulip dust]

@spice veldt see post below as well
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Restart (mission) Using Nearby Structures

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.

When the player current position is 4000 Light Years away from current mission location or more, a button appears in the Log tab that allows to restart the last mission stage. Most commonly used ways to trigger it:

• Space Anomaly Teleporter (teleport to a Featured base, check Log tab; retry with different base if needed);
• Warping (e.g. 4 1000LY distance warps in the same direction, but contrary to Current Mission destination in galaxy map);

After getting far away enough, be sure to give the game a few seconds to recalculate distances, then check Log tab.

[swift sand]

shadow stars (a community given name) are stars we can see in the galaxy map but cannot be portaled to

[silver bluff]

I see

Unrelated if a creature has an A stat can that be upgraded to S or

[swift sand]

nope, not afaik

[final spoke]

Best way to find recruitable frigates?

[swift sand]

focus on t3 eco and lower conflict systems, then you can just either exit the station after a save+reload and check the fleets nearby and repeat save+reload+fly out, or pulse away for like 10s, exit pulse, brake and wait in space till next fleets spawn

[humble pendant]

Why in the system where I am the option to report planets with an offensive name is greyed out?

I’m just being curious i don’t actually need to report anything

[indigo lion]

How do i fix my freighters rooms suddenly not conncting. im supposed to be looking into an open room. ive tried reloading and restarting. this problem appeared as soon as i got on today but has never happend before. and im afraid my entire freighter is uselss now. i cant even walk to the bridge. the entire build area is broken

[swift sand]

not sure, never really had the need to. are these discoveries other players uploaded?

[analog scroll]

That option may only exist in systems where the planets have been renamed

[swift sand]

hmm. if you options/general/reset freighter position, where does that leave you at? (should be in the bridge)

[humble pendant]

Pretty sure they have been

[indigo lion]

that does nothing to fix the issue 😑

[swift sand]

right, but from there you could for example fly out and resummon freighter and see if that fixes the freighter base

[humble pendant]

One planet definitely has

[swift sand]

maybe try to save+game restart?

[indigo lion]

nope. its like the parts are just not compatible at all.

[swift sand]

try to save+reload/warp out to a diff system and resummon it?

maybe try replacing the rooms around the appearance modifier room

[humble pendant]

Nope. And it does the same in another system as well

[indigo lion]

nahh i have to spend hours rebuilding my entire freighter im deadass removing this game from my steam library forever. this is beyond Game breaking and absolutely ruins the experience.

[humble pendant]

Not an internet issue though as evidenced by the fact that i am here

[swift sand]

how long ago was the discovery uploaded?

[humble pendant]

The system, about 8 years. Not sure for the planets

[swift sand]

i understand, sorry to hear that it's really upset you. it's probably just some weird bug tbh. it's up to you ofc, but perhaps later on raise a bug report.

[swift sand]

can you send the glyph address? i wouldnt mind portaling in and checking it out

[humble pendant]

This new patch does seem very buggy to me

[humble pendant]

Sure but I did warp to another system to check and it’s the exact same thing so it doesn’t seem specific to a particular one

I’ll grab a photo though

[indigo lion]

is there a way i can save the layout so i can just load it up after deleting? deleting a few parts and placing 'new versions' seems to be fixing it.

[swift sand]

if you're on pc, you could export and reimport the freighter base layout using a save editor yeah. i figured replacing parts might fix it, but not sure if it will be a permanent fix, nor if reimporting the base using save editor wouldnt just make the issue come back.

[indigo lion]

😭 My Builder Heart is breakinggg. Wtf HG.

[humble pendant]

hope that's not too blurry, it's a screenshot of a screenshot. I forgot where to find my steam screenshots on mac and didnt want to keep you waiting

[swift sand]

steam view menu, recordings&screenshots, select NMS, then browse/show on disk

[subtle crown]

They should add more tech slots to corvette lmao

There's at least 15 more techs that I need to fill

[swift sand]

is it a lot of parts to redo? yeah, if you're on pc and you think you need some guidance to use the save editor, feel free to ping

[swift sand]

you could still go for another row, but yeah, 60 is the limit

that's the choice - use lots of corvette parts that add techs and possibly run out of space to install upgrade modules or

[indigo lion]

Are you tryna use it for combat or exploration? i find its better to use it for one or the other. cause of the tech limit.

[subtle crown]

It won't let me upgrade, I think I need to upgrade to S-class

[swift sand]

correct yeah

[indigo lion]

yep

[swift sand]

a 50, s 60

[subtle crown]

Mostly exploration, I don't have any reasons to engage in space combat.

[humble pendant]

Oh well that wouldn’t have helped, there’s no glyphs on those

[swift sand]

make sure that you're using steam overlay screenshooter, not in game's photo mode button

[subtle crown]

And don't forget, there're cosmetics upgrades that require having slots too!

[indigo lion]

then you can free up space by not having as many shield and weapon upgrades possibly. untill you get all the space you need or whatever the case may be

[subtle crown]

Now I need to refrain from warping to other systems

[indigo lion]

basically just make sure you got all the essential exploration modules you need like scanners and such for your needs then add in other stuff you need ontop is how i would go about doing it.

[swift sand]

why?

[indigo lion]

yea.. why?

[swift sand]

freighter rescue battle i'm assuming, but that's not really a reason to

[indigo lion]

ahh if i get one and im not wanting to fight i i just go chill in the space station for 5 minutes XD

usually the mess is gone by then..

XD

[swift sand]

i just play as i want to, but until next battle triggers, i always exit ship in station before warping out to a diff system

meaning i always have a restore point in the prev system to reload if i get a rescue battle in a system that a) doesnt have the freighter i want, b) triggered in a system with a low economy tier

reload, rewarp to any inhabited system that is good to check (high eco tier), battle should trigger again - if it doesnt, the other system was either a t3 conflict or an outlaw system that triggers pirate freighter rescue battle event on every warp in

[subtle crown]

I don't have hypderdrive upgrades

[swift sand]

there's a reactor that has hyperdrive range and efficiency

and if you take out some of those things, you could also stack the stronger s-class modules hyperdrive modules

e.g. if you're not using photon cannon, then you probably dont need to add its modules (the parts)

cant remove base photon cannon tech though

[subtle crown]

Reactor only helps with pulse engine sadly

[indigo lion]

you have a ton of shield and weapons for a exploration vessel.

[swift sand]

get zenith

[subtle crown]

Ah yes, I installed slightly more than I needed.

[subtle crown]

I'll try

[indigo lion]

shields can be understandable to withstand attack but if you arent going to commit to combat maybe dont load up like a destroyer XD

trade them for the hyperdrives so you can explore further

[swift sand]

can barter for them at the workshop too

[subtle crown]

For now, I'll get furnace module for collosus and farm nanites to upgrade ship to S-tier

Then I will have room for hyperdrive ugrades

[indigo lion]

ahh im tryna doo the idustrial stuff rn. kinda need to finda nice planet tho. all the one ive found are sooo rocky and mountainus its hell tryna do stuff

[swift sand]

yeah, there are some that are flatter, you'll see

[haughty heron]

my pulse engine ran out of fuel in space and i can't pulse jump anymore, any ideas on what i can do?

i am quite far from any planets

[analog scroll]

Shoot asteroids to get more tritium

Or reload your restore point (the last time you exited your ship)

[subtle crown]

How many waste processing plants do a planet have?

Last time I remember there was a power hotspot nearby but now I don't see it anymore

[swift sand]

it can have lots

remember to mark spots you want to revisit shortly after with a save beacon for example

[tropic ginkgo]

what was the potential number of POIs on a planet? in the tens of thousands?

[indigo lion]

do i need to find a new teleporter every time i wanna go somewhere new? looking to go living frigate hunting soon.

a new portal? no, you can reuse the same one, as long as it's in the same galaxy as the coords you want to get to are

just dont reuse portals found and used by quests to avoid bugs

[hallow condor]

Don't you just warp drive ablut for living frigates?

[indigo lion]

alr thxx i just didnt know if i could go back and set new glyphs

[hallow condor]

Around*

[swift sand]

yeah, pulse engine; but there's 1 living frigate seed per system, class is fixed for all players - so we can share coordinates to systems, and others can portal there to find them

[frank prism]

are there arena battles for the corvette, freighter and/or bases?

[swift sand]

nope

[frank prism]

aw man

[hallow condor]

Ive only got one c class living frigate i was hoping to find more

[indigo lion]

best bet would be find a pvp com hosting battles

closest thing your gonna get to any real pvp

[frank prism]

I just want to deck my friends from the comfort of my home

[swift sand]

there's 1 in every system, use anomaly detectors, dont exit pulse till you get whalesong encounter - remember to dump dream aerial after getting the first one

[hallow condor]

Omg I forgot about making dream aerials lool

[swift sand]

dream aerial is only used for the first living frigate of a save

additional ones cant be obtained with it, so if you still have any after getting the first, just dump them

[analog scroll]

Even if you dismiss that first one

[hallow condor]

Ah ok

So now I use anomaly detected and dont leave pulse until whale song apears

[analog scroll]

1 per system

[hallow condor]

Sweet thanks for this solid info

[swift sand]

right, yeah. i usually go for like 5, 10 minutes - if i dont get it by then, i'll just reload (save before using anomaly detector) or warp out, to either try again the same system, or move to another to try there

[indigo lion]

wow does no one search eissentam for living frigates? im only seeing 2 coords on NMSCE

[swift sand]

they might, but it's not like everyone is biofrig hunting to share coords

[indigo lion]

guess ill just have to do it myself XD

[gaunt radish]

any tips in finding SSS creatures? they are just random or is there any specific system trait that makes them have a higher chance of popping out

[swift sand]

just random

[gaunt radish]

ive noticed, most SSS creatures tend to be

rare right?

like within the

game menu of fauna

[swift sand]

yeah, not common to find ime either

[gaunt radish]

they usually have the "rare"

[maiden summit]

fairly rare, yes

[gaunt radish]

thing

i mean in the game menu of fauna

this

[swift sand]

that i'm not sure about, but maybe yeah

the one i've found that was triple s recently was also rare on the list

[gaunt radish]

yeah

btw u can

pokemon battle wild creatures?

[swift sand]

nope

[gaunt radish]

damn

i went to a planet with a cool SSS

and there was another dude there

in the chat yk those messages of what other ppl re doing

apparently he was fighting wild creatures?

a message popped out saying that

idk if it was maybe modded or idk

[swift sand]

just killed some fauna

[gaunt radish]

i mean with his creature

pokemon battle stuff

[swift sand]

pets can be aggressive and attack other animals

to feed themselves

[gaunt radish]

like it said "pet name" has started a battle with a wild creature

something like that

[swift sand]

i've never seen any hint of any possibility of that in vanilla nms, no idea about mods

[gaunt radish]

idk maybe im tripping lol

does the outlaw S rarities affect creature stats nah right?

[swift sand]

wild creatures are to be adopted when possible if the player wants, etc

[swift sand]

not that we know of

[gaunt radish]

yeah aware of that

[indigo lion]

Question if i wanna go searching with friends can i say find a living frigate with them in the corvette and we both buy it?

[swift sand]

unlikely, only the owner of the ship will be able to get it

[indigo lion]

Dang

i asumme we can just pulse on our own then in the same system and its fine?

[swift sand]

sure, though if you get issues i'd suggest not being in a group to try again

[gaunt radish]

does the freighter scanner scan the fauna, flora and minerals too?
