here?

[crystal turret]

yes

the guy in the sphere

[wise reef]

The four basic steps to playing offline expeditions are 1) Set up a rule that blocks NMS form connecting to the internet (which you can reuse later), 2) download the JSON file from that site and put it in the right directory, 3) play the expedition and complete it, and 4) disable to rule you set up in part 1 so the game goes back online and updates to the current JSON file (back to normal play)

[analog scroll]

Steam > Play Offline

[rich stratus]

im here

[analog scroll]

That's all you need to do 😛

[wise reef]

Oh even easier then.

[crystal turret]

Click synthesize exotics items and then youre set

[wise reef]

I just followed the instructions on the site

[crystal turret]

You can get quicksilver from nexus missions

[obsidian tusk]

Hello does mods or reshade are allowed for photomode gallery?

[knotty crystal]

In step 1, you mean entering offline mode from the settings, right?

[rich stratus]

how do i do that?

this is all i see

[hearty plaza]

Is there a way to get the Sentinel Dreadnaught as my Freighter?

[hexed geode]

a NPC offered me a new multi tool for free but what happened to the old one?

[wise reef]

No, but that might work, idk. If you scroll down the page on the expedition generator site, it gives details on how to block NMS from going online in Windows Firewall, which is what I did. This keeps it from updating the modified JSON season file that enables the expedition

[obsidian tusk]

Press x then utility and swap multitool

[wise reef]

Unless you did "trade", it added the new one to your collection. You can switch them in the quick menu

[hexed geode]

tyvm havent played in awhile

[wise reef]

under the gear icon I think

[hexed geode]

no i made sure it wasnt trade

[swift sand]

cant get the space police sentinel freighter, but you can get a capital freighter that looks just like it. type !faq-freighters in #nms-commands for more infos and details

[hearty plaza]

Thanks

[obsidian tusk]

Np have fun

[rich stratus]

i don't have an egg

btw is this the synthesiser

[knotty crystal]

ok thanks Just in case, do you think I should complete the expedition in a different save file, or would it be better to complete it in my main save file

I don't want my main save file to get corrupted.

[wise reef]

They suggest a new save, but I just did it in my main.

Do a new save -- it enables the rewards across your account

or so I am told

[knotty crystal]

Okay, thank you, this will really help

[swift sand]

yeah, phase and final expedition rewards are unlocked account wide, can be claimed once per save, any save under the same account

[crystal turret]

Nope wrong thing

[wise reef]

Yeah, I want to go back and do a few of the older expeditions for the rewards, like the one jetpack and the Starborn Runner

[rich stratus]

idk were is that

[crystal turret]

Quicksilver vendor

[knotty crystal]

Now that I realize it, in some expeditions, do you think Redux is easier or the standard version?

[analog scroll]

Create Exotic Items from Quicksilver #nms-questions message

[analog scroll]

Redux is more compressed, some milestones have their requirements changed

[rich stratus]

this is all i see

What do i click to create exotic

oh nvm

[rustic sandal]

It's an Arena League Reward. Thanks! Bet there is no biome it can lay an egg in hah hah.

[knotty crystal]

So Redux is better, right

[rich stratus]

this is the only egg i see

[wise reef]

Redux on the generator is better, because some of the requirements in the original may no longer be possible

[rich stratus]

In the create exotic thing

[wise reef]

I think there are a few like that, such as having a multiplayer element and such

[hexed kelp]

yo dose anybody know how to find a good frighter i just cant find one

[swift sand]

define good freighter? high class? class that drops is random everytime, influenced by system economy tier. do you already know what type of freighter you want? have you seen !faq-freighters?

[hexed kelp]

nah i havent i was just looking for a good one as i quality so i cann do some expedtions

[swift sand]

any freighter will do to start assembling a frigate fleet and running fleet expeditions tbh

[wise reef]

You have the best chances of finding a good freighter (higher class) in 3-star and outlaw systems

[keen notch]

Is there some tech to find rare underground/underwater creatures to scan? I dive in to every pond and cave and still cant find the missing ones

[hexed kelp]

yea i have tried that so far but im not finfing any

[wise reef]

I hate how when you click to quote someone, and it pushes their message so you end up quoting the next message in chat 😛

[wise reef]

Outlaw is best odds at 5% for S class. You gotta do a lot of Freighter battles unless you get lucky

[hexed kelp]

oh ok but the proplem is im not even finding normal frigthers even in outlaw systems

[swift sand]

no. see <#bot-spam message> for some tips

[wise reef]

On that topic, did Pirate Dreadnoughts stop giving S-class Freighter modules? I just blew one up and got an A-class reactor instead.

[swift sand]

why no battle: see <#bot-spam message>

[swift sand]

when they removed cargo bulkhead from that drop pool, they added in A or S class ship reactor. really rare to drop it instead of the s-class freighter module, but it can happen

[hexed kelp]

ty

[wise reef]

So I was just really unlucky. BTW, does the Freighter time-between-fights keep counting when the game is paused (running in background) ?

That is unfortunate

[keen notch]

Is it count to quit to man menu and load in to reload creatures spawn?

[swift sand]

sure, but you dont need to go that far: can just move away like 1000u wait a minute, then back again; or simply save+reload restore point from the options menu, dont need to back out to main menu

<:info:850810445577453658> Updating Restore Point save slot

Most common ways to update Restore Point:

• Enter and exit ship (unless on a freighter we don't own or derelict freighter);
• Waypoint;
• Save Beacon;
• Save Point;

-# Exiting Corvette pilot seat always updates restore point.
-# When in multiplayer groups, player position may not be saved.

thanks guys

[rich stratus]

how do i do these expedition things

I want the robot dog thing it said complete expedition 5

I click on 5

[knotty crystal]

thanks

[rich stratus]

what do i do now?

[analog scroll]

#nms-modding will be a better location for questions about running offline expeditions

[wise reef]

Did you follow the instructions on that page here: https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/#expedition_notes_block_nms_with_firewall

[rich stratus]

Too many things to read

Idk were to start

[umbral spear]

Do anyone have corvette parts?

[wise reef]

You need to be offline, then copy the expedition-enabling season file, then play the expedition

[rich stratus]

Yeah it says none

[astral wadi]

can i just use atlandid drive? or do you need all the drives for space travel

[analog scroll]

Atlantid will cover all of the star colors

[rich stratus]

Idk how to tranfer something to the game

[astral wadi]

perfect ty, im wasting so much space 😭

[wise reef]

You need to do what the instructions say. I just posted the direct bookmark to how to block the game. (close the game first)

[analog scroll]

Note that you can't actually visit purple stars, even with the Atlantid drive, unless you've done the mission to unlock them

[rich stratus]

I don't know were to download what buttons to click were to go and how to move a file

[analog scroll]

@rich stratus @wise reef #nms-modding please

[wise reef]

Randy DM me

[analog scroll]

Take the discussion about modding either to that channel or to DMs. Lets keep this channel clear for gameplay questions

[rich stratus]

i don't see a DM button

[analog scroll]

Right click on the name, click message

[hearty heron]

You can try #nms-lfg-or-trades for trades of trade-able items that is, or #nms-corvette-discussion for corvette guidance too

[calm wasp]

Everytime i am asking for this Bugged Wayoint in some systems. Whats this?

[swift sand]

seems to happen shortly after exiting the anomaly ime, just a visual bug

nothing there

[hearty perch]

i need some help, i think i bugged my game out when i finished the atlas quest cause now the atlas just stays mad at me and i cant get the Atlas Eternal quest

[swift sand]

1. please post a full screen screenshot of your mission Log

[shell ridge]

Can pets letter grades be changed through the egg sequencer? I know the Traits (like aggressiveness) can change.

[swift sand]

from combat/agility/health? afaik no

[shell ridge]

hmm, so the only way to get an SSS pet is to find a natural one, can't breed one. (other than save edits) (seems like a missed opportunity to use the egg sequencer more)

[swift sand]

yeah, afaik, but i've been brought in today on a scenario where the player has returned to game in a later session only to find that some of their pets had upgraded stat class somehow - "i just did some battles and logged off". trying to look into it further.

[alpine parcel]

hello how do i get better freighters, i have the one the game gives you for free but i dont know how to get better ones

[swift sand]

you're like the 4th player i've seen recently with issues on this. atlas eternal itself isnt super important: it can't be cleared anyway. what's more important is your ability to trigger in stellar multitudes quest, which does require atlas path completion. do you have star seed or mark of the denier exosuit techs unlocked?

[hearty perch]

yes, i have the star seed

though i think i bugged it when i walked in with 2 hearts of the sun

cause i got the mark of the denier aswell

[swift sand]

ah.. yeah, again this. people get into trouble when they do this it seems.

in any case, you at least completed the atlas path. if you get into trouble trying to trigger in stellar multitudes (type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands ), let us know.

but for that issue, since you're not on pc

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

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[hearty perch]

oh, i already did that quest

[wanton spear]

how do i get a harmonic brain, im at this point and its kinda confusing

[swift sand]

in that case, yeah, just raise a bug report because of atlas eternal not being in the log, and having both star seed and mark unlocked (you're only supposed to have 1 of them)

[wheat cove]

If by "better", you mean higher class, freighter classes are random but you have a better chance for S-class in tier 3 and pirate-controlled economies

[swift sand]

probing subconcious added another icon

[astral wadi]

what class is this?

royal?

[swift sand]

royal

[astral wadi]

thank you. scrap it?

[hearty perch]

im gonna test something then (if im suppose to have only one, it makes me wonder if i will fix it be uninstalling one)

[wanton spear]

ohh aightt

[swift sand]

up to you really, perhaps the supercharged slot is decent, but if you dont like it just do so yeah

[alpine parcel]

Do you get them the same way that you get the free one? By like saving it from other ships?

Just having to pay this time

[swift sand]

ah you got them both installed? yeah, uninstall one of them, hopefully it fixes it (it didn't for the other player actually but 🤞 )

[astral wadi]

what multitools should i look for primarily

[swift sand]

really up to you, it doesn't really matter much, a good supercharged slot layout is gonna beat a bad supercharged slot layout anyway

e.g. sentinel has low mining bonus, but that doesnt say that you can install mining beam side by side hijacked laser, buffing it even more

[wheat cove]

You can fly onto the random freighters that appear in the system and buy those, but some are only from battles (pirate dreadnoughts especially). Run !faq-freighter in #nms-commands for more info.

[alpine parcel]

ohh ok thank you

[astral wadi]

yeah but not all supercharge slots are available right away and i dont want to have to upgrade them fully every time just to see

[hearty perch]

they do have hidden stat boosts, i recommend Royal/Experimental if your looking for a bigger payout for your scans, Staff/Sentinal if you want more damage, and Atlantid if you want a faster mining beam

but it ultimately is up to preference

[keen notch]

Can i put storage containers in to corette somehow?

[blazing star]

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

[swift sand]

Royal/Experimental if your looking for a bigger payout for your scans
this is false, scan innate bonus does not buff scanning rewards, only quick scan pulse range

[hearty perch]

ah, i didn't know that

[swift sand]

for some of us, it'd be nice, but we have nutrient ingestor now anyway

[blazing star]

When will the next expedition be

[hearty perch]

kinda confusing when you think about it cause it just says "scan" so its hard to figure out if its the pulse scan or the scanner

[analog scroll]

We don't know

[swift sand]

@blazing star subscribe #nms-announcements and #nms-news-ticker to get updates on the game. when a new expedition comes out, you'll also see #nms-expedition opening up again

[timber pine]

after i unlock the space anomaly, is this time to explore?

[analog scroll]

If you want, but you will want to complete the story soon

[timber pine]

y?

[analog scroll]

There's quite a bit of content that you are locked out of until you complete it

[timber pine]

also, what region has the most english speakers?

[analog scroll]

The game is 1 universe for all players

The Anomaly is a random instance with a max of 16 players

[timber pine]

huh, it doesnt check what region you selected?

[analog scroll]

Not even a little

[timber pine]

huh, so i guess i got threw in with foreigners lmao

but goddamn i just got to the space anomaly, looking how many unlocks there are, Jeez i love this game

[compact geyser]

Ask for black hole coordinates, go through, then ask

[hearty perch]

i did, he just wont let me ask for more

[indigo lion]

where should i build on my corvette where it wont bug out? mine likes to bug out sometimes when im furnishing it

[hearty perch]

also i didn't work, Atlas is still saying "we cannot remain"

[worldly sable]

Can someone explain real quick what I'm supposed to do with industrial waste ? I got the tool to damage and move them but I really don't know what I gotta do with them

[analog scroll]

Salvage it

[worldly sable]

How do I do that

[analog scroll]

Use the scanner, find a salvage site, drop it in the appropriate bins

[indigo lion]

that tool is not for damaging them lol you actually wanna avoid damaging them fyi. they give nanites when brought to a processing plant with the colosuss

[wide onyx]

im torn whether, going into free build mode and making a decent corvette, going out and destroying like 200m worth of parts rather than grinding it manually is morale and yk doesnt ruin the game

can someone help me choose

[worldly sable]

Oh, bruh, what is the tool for then ? 😭

The gravitino thing

[indigo lion]

yep

[swift sand]

to move waste onto colossus exocraft flatbed, once you've unlocked it

[swift sand]

sorry, i'm not understanding the question i think. can you please clarify?

[wide onyx]

nah its alr

im js debating whether to use no crafting cost for corvettes

and deleting 200m worth of stuff

[timber pine]

how do i analyze salvaged glass

[wide onyx]

or manually grinding the parts

[swift sand]

cursor over it in inventory, analyze iow unpack

[wide onyx]

hover over it in the inv and you'll see a analyze option

[timber pine]

extract components?

[wide onyx]

think so yea

the top option

[timber pine]

yeah kk

where do i sell the upgrades?

[analog scroll]

Anyone you can buy upgrades from

[swift sand]

@timber pine e.g. ares in the anomaly, upgrade module shops in space stations

[timber pine]

ah kk

would it be a viable strat to upgrade myself before moving forwards with the story?

[swift sand]

sure, make it easier to progress through quests, but no need to go all out as an absolute priority

[timber pine]

ah thats good to know

[swift sand]

for example, one of my first pushes is 3 s-class hyperdrive modules, because i'll be warping around a bunch

[junior wadi]

the first ship is meant to be my ship,but my ship jut changed shape and appreance,is there a way to fix this

[indigo lion]

is it even worth going to ares? ive looked several upon several times and its always c maybe some b class modules

[analog scroll]

You in a group? Ship reskinning is a thing that can happen in a group. Also, there's no icon over that ship indicating it's yours

[swift sand]

to sell modules, if we're in the anomaly and just needed the nanites, yeah, why not - to buy, nah

[junior wadi]

im not in a group also the ship is indeed mine

[indigo lion]

ahh fair ig. i tend to use my refiner to make nanites now

[swift sand]

weird bug. you claimed that ship from the quicksilver shop? is it a twitch reward ship?

[junior wadi]

ill just reload my slot and see ig

duno

[fresh birch]

I placed a communication station with a message and now I can’t delete it. It won’t let me select it in build mode. Is there a trick to deleting it?

Build another one somewhere else on the planet

[heady lagoon]

So when an expedition is available how exactly do I complete it and get the rewards? I know how to start it

[fresh birch]

Does it have to be far away?

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

think of an expedition as a big quest, with lots of secondary missions, split into phases, missions which you're most likely already familiar with e.g. goto a planet, get resource X, etc

[analog scroll]

Ideally

[fresh birch]

It’s playing the message at another base I ported to in a completely different galaxy lmao

[heady lagoon]

Oh okay so once every mission for that expedition has been completed you'll get the rewards?

Thx guys

[swift sand]

have fun, anything else just ask

[hollow bluff]

How rare is the USB like sentinel interceptor?

[swift sand]

maybe try checking nmsce.com, get an idea from how many have been shared

[hollow bluff]

Thanks

[compact geyser]

Thanks for telling me

[proven valve]

Ok, it was just the internet connection but only for my ps5 so thats why I didnt understand, thanks again for your support 💪🏻

[fresh birch]

So I tried going really far away and setting a new comms thing and I can’t even set a message

So I guess it’s here forever now

[swift sand]

did you upload iow set a message on the other one today?

[fresh birch]

Yeah

[swift sand]

i'd suggest retrying this tomorrow

i'm going to try this myself as well

[fresh birch]

Then it started doing an annoying banner every few minutes and I wanted to delete it, but it’s unselectable

I’ll try tomorrow

[swift sand]

please keep us posted 🙂

[calm wasp]

Wow that ring 😮

[fresh birch]

It’s doubly annoying that this whole planet is an ocean

[swift sand]

yeah, this can happen with moons sometimes

even with the space station heh

it's intended

[fresh birch]

Worst case scenario could someone come report it? lol

[analog scroll]

Won't make it disappear for everyone, just the reporter

[swift sand]

yeah what tyndall said above; plus, we're not sure these actually get reported to the server at all

[void prism]

Hey anyone know how to get starship augments? To increase your ship inventory?

[analog scroll]

Buy and scrap other ships, missions (including frigate missions), guild emissaries

[void prism]

Pain...i dont even have money for that🥲kinda js new to it

[fresh birch]

That’d be perfect if I could report my own lmao

[analog scroll]

If you hadn't built it at a base, you can't even see the hud icon for your own comm balls. They are a terrible addition to the game imo

[fresh birch]

I just thought it would hold a message for if people interacted with it. The banner is overkill

[swift sand]

mission boards is also a good easy source for it, especially as you raise your standing with the 3 main races (gek, korvax, vykeen). that said, you could also find crashed ships, though that's not just sitting around and waiting for ships to spawn. making millions in nms isn't hard either, just a matter of picking one or more of the several ways available

@void prism would also suggest some further reading <#nms-questions message>, <#nms-questions message>

[void prism]

Thanks

[cinder bison]

When I’m at my teleportation terminal I click other bases and can see a bunch of random players bases… but when I go to warp to them I get a red X and it says unable to download base.. happened for like 15 bases I tried

Does that mean people just aren’t uploading or is it an issue on my end

[analog scroll]

If you're in the Anomaly:

• The owner left the Anomaly
  If not:
• It's a cached list from the Anomaly, and they're not in your same system and will never download

[cinder bison]

Ahhhh I see.. I was just at the anomaly and now at one of my bases so that makes sense.. you saying I can see them cause I was just there like 2 min ago.. right

[analog scroll]

Right

[cinder bison]

Okay thanks and if I was at the anomaly still (and they were) those bases will load?

[analog scroll]

As long as the owner was still in your same instance of the Anomaly, yes

[cinder bison]

Alr cool thanks

[crude walrus]

Does anyone know which graphics setting(s) might cause the game to occassionally stutter? Not FPS drop stutter, like momentary freeze stutter.

[analog scroll]

Alt-tabbing is one of the most glaring culprits

[crystal turret]

whats the best way to farm corvette moduals

[analog scroll]

The only real way is to farm them from salvageable scrap planets

[swift sand]

like frame skipping? hmm.. are you on windows? if yes, any improvement if you change:

windows advanced settings, Performance > Advanced > Processor Scheduling
between programs/applications and background services? remember to give it a reboot in between changes.

[crude walrus]

I farmed a bunch of parts by using my nomad exocraft to get around

[crystal turret]

i like the nomad its just so ugly

i prefer the pilgrim

[crude walrus]

But have you considered the nomad can go over water and doesnt take fall damage? Food for thought...

[crude walrus]

Yeah, I'm on windows. Let me give this a try

[crystal turret]

does putting an autominer on a salvagable scrap planet mine corvette parts?

[inland ermine]

You wish

We all wish kinda, lol, but sadly no

[wicked scaffold]

How can i unlock the other color styles on spaceships?😅

[swift sand]

for the fabricator? they're past expedition rewards; officially got to wait for the devs to bring them back, unofficially there's ways

[crude walrus]

Processor scheduling is already set to best performance for programs, not background processes. The game started stuttering after I used to NVIDIA control panel to pick optimized graphics settings

[storm cairn]

i'm on the mission The Sentinel Menace from the nexus and there is NO targeted planet

[wicked scaffold]

Oh ok, thank you ☺️

[crude walrus]

Before this, I was just using regular Ultra graphics mode in-game. Something between regular Ultra graphics mode and NVIDIA custom graphics settings is whats causing this

[swift sand]

try background processes instead; also, i'd suggest not using nvidia app to optimize it. stop it from doing so, then delete game install folder\binaries\settings\tkgraphicssettings.mxml, relaunch the game and retest without making any further changes

if they're available, also try to disable framegen/low latency reflex

[young dune]

Why does my ships spin out of control whenever I use the pulse engine

I’ve restarted my game and it still does it

[swift sand]

did you by any chance save edit their maneuver/agility stats?

what ship types do you see this with? any? only corvettes?

[young dune]

All my ships

[swift sand]

return to main menu, make a new save, recommend creative mode, get in your starter ship, does it do that? if yes, are you using any mods?

[crude walrus]

I put the game back in ultra grphics mode and that fixed it... I'm not sure what NVIDIA changes to cause these issues, but you are right to avoid using the nvidia app

[young dune]

No I don’t have mods

[swift sand]

please do the first part, let us know if it still happens

[storm cairn]

i restarted and the issue persists

[swift sand]

sorry, missed your question

[analog scroll]

So scan the planets from your ship. One of them will have high sentinel activity. Go there

[storm cairn]

already did

[analog scroll]

It may or may not be marked

[analog scroll]

Activate your analysis visor on the planet, screenshot the entire screen, post it here

[swift sand]

@storm cairn a few more questions 1) what game mode are you on, 2) what's options/difficulty/on foot combat and enemy strength set to, 3) are you flying a corvette?

[storm cairn]

normal, default, no

[analog scroll]

And that one says High Sentinel Activity when you scan it from space? Because that sentinel activity does not look like the right one

[storm cairn]

correct, it does

[swift sand]

might be because you're in a group

[analog scroll]

Good catch

[storm cairn]

well it's a multiplayer mission

[swift sand]

yeah, i know, i'm sorry

could try to leave group, should still be in the same instance

double check options/network/view nearby player list

[storm cairn]

i submitted a bug report it didn't load even in single player

[swift sand]

can you try galaxy map warping out of that system and back in again?

[storm cairn]

already did

[swift sand]

sorry, nothing else coming to mind atm

[analog scroll]

If it's a nexus mission, warping (or save+reload) abandons it

[swift sand]

nah T, just teleporting and reload

galaxy map warping is ok

i used to do that when stuck with fauna feeding missions on systems with no fauna, or very few species per planet

[devout shuttle]

How do you stop it where it changes your walls to something when your above a floor

Like for example it has these hollow window lines through the walls on 2nd floor

How do I stop it because it’s ruining my builds

[swift sand]

open build menu, cursor over part, press show variants - use the parts that popped in the build menu

if you use the "main" part, it uses something called "contextual building", and that allows a part to change appearance because of another 🙂

[buoyant terrace]

Does anyone here have this ship?

[swift sand]

officially, only switch users got that ship - the switch users who connected to servers before a certain date got it. since switch cant multiplayer, then the only way to get that ship is either from another player who obtained it already or from service bot. for the former, try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades . if you're on pc, you most likely can save edit/mod it in to your save (ask around #nms-modding )

[lone marlin]

ah

[devout shuttle]

Thanks!

[indigo lion]

is it normal for my corvette to keep shuffling the tech around? im getting tired of redoing it

[swift sand]

if you didnt do any changes to the ship - yeah, that shouldnt actually be happening anymore, that got patched

[indigo lion]

what counts as changes? does simply placing decorations do it? cause thats all ive been doing

[swift sand]

no, it'd be just the parts on the outside, part of the ship itself, not the interior decorations

[burnt bison]

If I add a person using their NMS friend code, should I be able to join their game even if they haven't added me?

[swift sand]

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

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[swift sand]

depends on their save's network settings (i.e. who can join my group)

normally both players add each other's

[burnt bison]

Is there a difference between starting the game normally or hosting a session on multiplayer? Like, people can join me on both, right?

[swift sand]

right; the only difference is that join friends joins us to friends in their current system. (when purple stars, must be unlocked by both)

[worldly peak]

for base expansion do the base parts have to stay or can you delete them after?

[swift sand]

after you're done, you can delete them, it'll all still work - but ofc, you lose their base build bubble

[burnt bison]

Yesterday I added a person and they added me, but neither of us were able to join each other, we didn't appear on the list to join session for each other.
Our settings had multiplayer allowed and anyone can join group.
Is there any other setting I'm missing? We couldn't understand why that was happening.

[swift sand]

after adding each other's friend codes, if still not working, i'd suggest that both players should completely restart the game to make sure, then try again

that's normally enough

[burnt bison]

Ah damn, we did it and still didnt work. I'll have to try again later, it was so weird.

[swift sand]

another quick troubleshooting step we often ask about is which of the players cannot see other players in the anomaly. the one who can't, is usually the one to focus on

[burnt bison]

Yep, we tried, we both could see other players.

Also both on normal difficulty

[swift sand]

hmm another test would be to try join a diff player (e.g. you join a diff one) and see if that works

but it could have been just a temp issue

[burnt bison]

Yep, I should try that. I'll check it later. Thanks!

[swift sand]

feel free to keep me posted 🙂 have fun

[fresh birch]

Do I need the atlas pass if I have remembrance?

[swift sand]

they have diff uses. atlas pass and its different versions (v3 opens all; infinite use item) are used to open containers, doors. remembrance is an exosuit tech that allows interacting with specific lore terminals, which are behind atlas pass v2/v3 doors (for example, in some abandoned space stations)

[fresh birch]

Okay Thank you. I have both but I saw someone in chat say “think of remembrance as atlas pass 4” or something and if I didn’t have to carry the pass I wouldn’t

[swift sand]

i can see the reference, knowing what remembrance lore talks about, but not true in terms of actual gameplay

[true stone]

is there a way to go back in time to NOT reset the univers ☠️ ?

@true stone nah, that choice is once per save

[true stone]

yikes

i need to build a time macine

[swift sand]

so unless you got a backup of your saves before it happened, or havent yet updated restore point after that decision, yeah you cant

[errant palm]

How do i get back to a planet i have put in my wonders ? Thanks

[wheat cove]

It should show a portal address when you have it selected. You can dial that address at any portal in the same galaxy.

You will need to have the portal glyphs unlocked. Use !faq-portal in #nms-commands for more info on portals.

[hearty plaza]

So, there's a "Aeron" style multi-tool in #explorers-archive. I'm in the right system, on the right planet, and at the posted coords. Is there any chance it was removed from the game?

[bitter crypt]

What about right galaxy?

Well I suppose that would be the same, given the others

[swift sand]

can you share the link to the exact post please?

sounds like you're referring to an atlantid but

[wheat cove]

Do you mean like this?
#explorers-archive message

The Atlantid rifles need you to interact with a hidden terminal at a Korvax monument and feed it atlantideum. I believe it requires quest progress to unlock.

[swift sand]

they who returned, yeah

[hearty plaza]

Yea, the atlandid. But I'm at positive 22.96, not negative 22.96.

[swift sand]

need to match those latitude+longtiude coords

to find the building they got it from

[storm cairn]

how does freighter value work? my first freighter i got for free is S class and worth 25 million, and i'm offered a B class that's worth 90 million and has less slots

[swift sand]

our freighter's trade in value is heavily reduced

[storm cairn]

well that certainly doesn't help you objectively compare

thanks

[hearty plaza]

Thank y'all for the help though.

[swift sand]

dont worry about it. in short, regardless of looks, max inventory upgrade size is set by class. if you've not found your "forever" freighter yet, you probably havent invested lots of bulkheads yet either. so in the end, the starting inventory size being smaller, it doesn't really matter a whole lot, all that means is a few extra bulkheads invested in the long run.

[swift sand]

also, gentle reminder, must have completed they who returned, aka the autophage quest to be able to see the atlantid tool terminal. (side info: only korvax system monoliths have discordant interfaces with atlantid tools)

[burnt bison]

Is there a way to make a garage door big enough for the roamer? The garage door in the game is so small!

[swift sand]

i think it's possible to scale it up with glitch building (see pinned posts in #nms-base-building ), or if on pc using mods ( #nms-modding )

[dry rose]

hey guys, just reinstalled NMS here and i dont know what to do on the " initialisation screen" ? i pressing every key mouse or board aint passing it. Am i too sleepy or what help? 😄

[swift sand]

here it should be press & hold E

are you on steam? any controller hooked up atm?

missing the key/button faces isnt a common issue, but gets reported sometimes

[dry rose]

i didnt setup my keybinds, i got mouse and movemaster joystick connected

[pastel light]

How do I get more exocraft

[swift sand]

either for free from various secondary quests (except pilgrim), or from anomaly construction research station in the anomaly, using salvaged data. also see <#nms-commands message> for more infos

[dry rose]

on steam yes

[swift sand]

hmm, shouldnt really be needed to setup keybinds for keyboard. perhaps try to reset+reinitialize a hellogames official controller layout, or maybe also (backup first then) delete game install folder\binaries\settings\tkgamesettings.mxml and then launch game

[forest sparrow]

||Does anyone know what the point is in resetting the simulation? I just did, and nothing really changed except my ship and gear needed to be repaired and im in another galaxy.

did this complete the main story line? where do i go from here? I'm trying to get access to more stories and most of all purple stars, which i havent found any yet, the discussions i read online only confused me and i feel really lost rn.||

@forest sparrow

did this complete the main story line?
yep. a shortcut to another galaxy basically. can still return to previous visited ones. in the past, we couldnt 😄 in short, primarily, norm/lush/empty have diff biome probabilities in yellow star systems.

see <#nms-commands message> and sublinks in it if needed to learn of the requirements and steps to trigger the purple star systems quest

[hearty plaza]

I believe I have. The three Primary Missions I have in my log are "The Space Anomaly"
"The Atlas Path" and "New Beginnings"

[hidden igloo]

Is there any chance that there could be a future update that adds city planets or something to the game?

[swift sand]

check catalog&guide/collected knowledge, on the left side bar, do you see autophage? click it: do you see they who returned on the right side?

[swift sand]

well, we dont know for sure, we're all just players just here no devs, they havent really shared any of what's to come, i dont think large city/ecumenopolis planets are going to be a thing soon, but who knows, as they become better and better devs, and are able to push the game engine further, who knows. all we can do is suggest features we'd like to see in the game, submit them using the zendesk link

Got it! Thanks!

[swift sand]

@hearty plaza or otoh, have you built a staff?

[hearty plaza]

I have not built a staff.

[stuck berry]

Well building a staff is one of the core parts of They Who Returned

[swift sand]

look through all your secondary mission pages, is there one called they who returned? if not, have you ever visited an harmonic camp and obtained a sentinel multitool?

[hearty plaza]

Well dang. Is there any way I can do it?

[swift sand]

sure.

[swift sand]

have you ever visited an harmonic camp and obtained a sentinel multitool?

[mental forum]

Where do you get the red staff from the one with the red ball looking like atlas

[analog scroll]

Expedition reward

[mental forum]

Where do u go for that?

[stuck berry]

so basically, can't outside of unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

We can't willingly replay previous Community Expeditions

at best, Hello Games rerun the current years' expos at the end of the year, along with an extra super old one sometimes

[hearty plaza]

Not seeing that mission, nor have I visited a harmonic camp.

[stuck berry]

Then you'll need to go to one to complete the prerequisite for They Who Returned to begin

You'll have to reach a dissonant world. Systems that contain a dissonant world will say so on the galaxy map with this tag

[hearty plaza]

I really do appreciate all the help.

I thought I was knowledgable, but naww

[stuck berry]

Once you land on the dissonant world, look for Dissonance Resonators using your Analysis Visor. 1/5 of them will contain an Echo Locator, which is what you need to locate a Harmonic Camp

You could either destroy these willy nilly or simply walk up to them and see what they contain, and ignore the ones that don't contain an Echo Locator. The Corrupted Sentinels are peaceful unless attacked

[calm wasp]

How long is the waiting time from juvenile to adult companion ?? i waiting 1 week and not growing up...

[deft schooner]

can I not fight battles against NPCs after the arena tutorial?

[stuck berry]

You should be able to easily, what's stopping you?

[deft schooner]

he wont talk to me anymore

[stuck berry]

Which one?

[deft schooner]

Oceana, the guy in the anomoly

[stuck berry]

Try disabling multiplayer, then save and reload

or reload the latest autosave

[charred urchin]

You can only fight Oceanus once a day

[deft schooner]

oh

are there other battle npcs

[stuck berry]

You should still be able to do training battles

[charred urchin]

Yeah

Space stations

Outposts

[deft schooner]

oh ok

[stuck berry]

Yes, in every space station, trade outpost and colossal archive

[deft schooner]

do they all only fight once a day

[stuck berry]

the introductory mission that Oceanus gives you tasks you with locating these

[deft schooner]

kewl

[calm wasp]

How long ist the waiting time from juventile to adult companion? Nobody has the answer? My companions not growing up

[swift sand]

iirc it can be up to 14 or 15 days, so about 2 weeks

[nocturne junco]

Trying to get reunion achievement so I went to one of the featured bases and it didn't pop also interacting with the base computer didn't pop it either. What am I supposed to do?

[stuck berry]

Not sure actually, maybe try saving and reloading, or going to a nearby system (that's almost guaranteed to have more bases)

[swift sand]

try to interact with the base computer of a player that you joined via main menu/join friends option

that fixed it last time

[pastel light]

How to get Cyto phosphate

[bitter crypt]

underwater minerals

[stuck berry]

Mine it from underwater flora I think

[bitter crypt]

or maybe it was flora...

[bitter crypt]

either way, it's underwater

[pastel light]

There’s no way to refine it

Sigh

[swift sand]

an easy way to go about it is to fly low and slow over a relatively shallow water body, like 10-20u, enough to spawn plants and rocks, and just shoot the water surface. positron ejector works really well for this. same principle as flying low and slow and shooting rocks and plants on the surface.

[spring rose]

Is there any dedicated storage units meant for the starship parts like how there is for the corvette's parts in space stations?

[bitter crypt]

there are not

[dreamy bear]

Why does my multitool look like this? It wasn't before...

[stuck berry]

Because you have the Gravitino Coil equipped

[crystal turret]

I don't see a mission called the purge

[stuck berry]

switch Multi-Tool weapons with G

[bitter crypt]

how far are you into the main questline?

[stuck berry]

What are your primary missions currently?

[crystal turret]

Which one is that

[stuck berry]

#nms-commands message

[crystal turret]

Give me a few minutes

[stuck berry]

The one with this icon is The Artemis Path, the main story

[crystal turret]

Ohh

Aright

[stuck berry]

The final mission in The Artemis Path is called "The Purge"

[crystal turret]

Ok

Thank you

[dreamy bear]

Oh so mods change the appearance?

[bitter crypt]

no, just the gravitino coil

[stuck berry]

Specifically the Fishing Rig and Gravitino Coil

all others don't

[bitter crypt]

and only when you have it selected

[crystal turret]

Which is better first or third person?

[bitter crypt]

oh i didn't know about the fishing rig

[bitter crypt]

it's all up to preference

[stuck berry]

Personal preference

first person is probably easier to control in most aspects outside of combat

[crystal turret]

I like 3rd person for when im on foot or in an exocraft

[dreamy bear]

Oh interesting

[stuck berry]

They only change the model temporarily, while that specific weapon is selected

[dreamy bear]

I'm still trying my luck for a royal multitool. The towers for me seem to stay the same per planet. Although I've got my hands on a royal blue A class MT, I'd like a red one tbh

[stuck berry]

When you find a pillar that has a royal MT, you should be able to save and reload on other planets in the same system, then return to the pillar to see a new color randomization

[dreamy bear]

How do you save and reload?

[stuck berry]

Enter + exit your starship, then reload restore point

[dreamy bear]

Oh so I can land at a pillar do that and the multitool will be different? Do I access logs, shit off sentinels or do anything else first or just receive multitool?

[stuck berry]

Just look at the MT

Make sure to mark the pillar that has the royal MT with a Save Beacon or claimed Base Computer

[dreamy bear]

So the tool is tower specific? If I open another map on the same planet I get another tower but the exact same tool

[stuck berry]

Well maybe the design is planet specific, I just now that changing MT pools rerolls royal MT color

this is deterministic, so each planet has it's own color for that tool

[dreamy bear]

It honestly sounds random to me. I feel like I need to hold a ritualistic shaman stick, play with one foot off the ground whilst chanting a mantra to get consistent rolls

[main lotus]

Is this star yellow or blue? How do I know for sure?

I mean it's in a yellow-star system but I think I've seen non-yellow stars in skyboxes with one star

[stuck berry]

Yes, visible star color in-skybox is usually random and not aligned with actual star color

[heady lagoon]

This is an exotic ship right?

I saw one but I missed it

[stuck berry]

It will return eventually in that system

though the squid variant of exotic ships is a lot rarer, making up 1/20 of all exotic ship designs (each system only has one exotic ship design)
but since you know that this system has one, that isn't a factor

[wintry shore]

It landed right next to me yesterday and I was so happy... I bought right away!

[pastel light]

is there a way to summon an exocraft from another system or do i have to have it be in said system

[stuck berry]

Yes, by having an Exocraft Summoning Station built in that other system, you can then summon any of your owned exocraft in that system via the quick menu

this also works for the Exocraft Orbital Materializer, a room in your freighter that does the same thing

Far later on, there's an exosuit technology blueprint that enables this across all systems you're in

[pastel light]

im assuming i get that in the anomaly?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can get the the first two from the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly

[pastel light]

so yes

wait

nevermind

i didnt read

[stuck berry]

the latter one is unlocked from Iteration: Selene, but requires resources from purple star systems #nms-commands message to install

[pastel light]

who is selene?

[stuck berry]

The exosuit blueprint vendor aboard the Space Anomaly

[pastel light]

also i have access to purple systems

[pastel light]

ah, could of just said that (no offence im just a touch dense at times)

also whats the name of the exosuit upgrade thing

[stuck berry]

The Exocraft Summoning Unit

[subtle crown]

I don't know why they added that

[stuck berry]

To make exocraft usage easier when you already have it in your freighter

[subtle crown]

We legit always carry an exocraft summoning building with us, or make one in the freighter

That is so much more immersive

[pastel light]

sick, whats the recipie for it? im not on nms rn

[subtle crown]

And then suddenly, an exosuit summoning system??

[stuck berry]

it was annoying doing nexus missions and having all four players summon their freighters to use exocraft

[subtle crown]

You can always place down the building

[pastel light]

ill be honest i would prefer the exosuit upgrade

[pastel light]

not too hard

except the helium how do i get that

[stuck berry]

Gas Giants

[pastel light]

crystalized*

mb

[stuck berry]

Gas Giants.

[subtle crown]

I have a farm, do you want some?

About 14k something

[pastel light]

eh?

[stuck berry]

There's no non-crystallized helium in NMS

[pastel light]

isnt helium one of the gasses?

[stuck berry]

No.

There's only Oxygen, Nitrogen, Sulphurine, Radon and Methane

[subtle crown]

Don't forget crystalized helium is used to make Lithium

[pastel light]

i must have mixed up whatever gas is on gas giants with that, mb

sorry

[stuck berry]

Gas Giants and waterworlds have Methane as their biome gas

Gas Giants have Crystallized Helium as their biome mineral

[pastel light]

im defo gonna try to make an underwater base now that i have access to purple systems

that just seems rlly cool

[subtle crown]

I don't know what else I would use my freighter for anymore

[stuck berry]

I use it constantly, scanning systems and warping silly distances

[subtle crown]

Scanning system only gives planet info though

[stuck berry]

Yes, like weather status and stuff

all the stuff I need

[subtle crown]

Warp range of it is also small like 300LY or something

[stuck berry]

Then you haven't upgraded yours at all

this isn't necessary for most people, but hunting giant planets requires big distances like this

[subtle crown]

How do you even know which system they belong in?

[subtle crown]

I don't know where to get the upgrades either

I mean the procedural ones

[wet sigil]

Destroying freighters, they are guaranteed to drop S ranks

[stuck berry]

You can see a hologram of the systems you select on the galaxy map. Giant planet systems have a special hologram, as well as lacking the Gas Giant tag. They only make up like 5% of all purple systems though or smth

[wet sigil]

Preferably dreadnoughts

I came here because I had a question.... I arrived in a system... and I had to kill LOADS of small ships to protect a freigther.... once I suceeded took me 2 points off vykkqueer faction.... Did I unvoluntarely sided with the pirates?

[hexed geode]

THere's 3 different sizes for teh Terrain manipulator? How do we change sizes?

[stuck berry]

Depends on your platform/control method. On keyboard, it's T and R. On controller, it's the left and right shoulder buttons

[hexed geode]

im on PC and tried T but not T and R

[stuck berry]

Then either you rebinded it or are doing something else wrong

[hexed geode]

ok ill retry tyvm

[stuck berry]

You most likely accidentally destroyed a civilian starship, or destroyed a cargo pod from the civilian freighter fleet. In the future, keep in mind that pirate ships have red trails, and civilians have green trails

These events will occur again after a cooldown, so keep playing and you will be given another chance

[wet sigil]

You may have shot down a neutral starship instead

[hexed geode]

ive had civilian ships fly in my firing line when fighting pirates and took faction hits

[fresh birch]

I’m not sure what allowed me to place and edit a new communication station, but I loaded my save on my PC and it let me report it, saved and swapped back to my switch, then I could change the message. Then I went far away and set a new one, came back and it’s gone

I’m finally free

Somewhere on the ocean floor is a random station that says “I need this away from my base”

Didn't get my reward from killing the dreadnaught. So very sad

[stuck berry]

If the dreadnought surrendered, this is normal unfortunately

despite all of the text saying otherwise, destroying a surrendered dreadnought awards nothing

[lunar elbow]

Unfortunate

[stuck berry]

destroying the dreadnought only awards things if it hasn't surrendered, aka it's warp drives are intact

[lunar elbow]

Ill let them destroy the civilian ship next time >:(

[fresh birch]

What’s funny is you can destroy the dreadnaught after it’s killed the civilians and still get a reward lmao

I did it too slow once and thought that was funny

Thanks! I guess I've just hit some kind of weird RNG

Unless some are more common than others

If I was to go all supports would there be anything I'd be missing out on?

for frigates

[stuck berry]

Other than the small bonuses you get from landing on other types of frigates (like units, minerals or whtv, pinging a structure, having combat frigates help against pirates when they're in-system etc) no

[pale valve]

Thank you so much. I was excited about the combat frigates helping and it only sent one

Do organic frigates have better stats?

[lunar elbow]

Good golly, the frigate upgrade point things are so hard to come by for me

[pale valve]

Yeah it is a bit of a grind for sure

[stuck berry]

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

[pale valve]

I can never remember the name of the frigate upgrade tech, frigate fleet units or something likethat

"Salvaged Fleet Unit"

Do organic Frigates have better stats than normal ones?

[lunar elbow]

I always get "frigate" and "freighter" mixed up

[stuck berry]

Kinda, mainly due to them having higher stats based on their initial class, but being able to improve those farther with leveling as it's untied to initial class on organic frigates (always start at level 0)

and you can reroll their stat randomization using food, specing them into different types at will

[buoyant terrace]

How do i get more Faecium?

Either make fauna poop, or refine Mordite

Question. is there any known issues with doing derelict freighters with friends? i would like to get a load of distress signals and just go on a spooky expedition with a fren

[stuck berry]

Doors sometimes fail to open when all the goop is cleared, but idk if that was fixed

[indigo lion]

also another question more asking for opinion/advice. most of my gameplay up until now has been on relaxed/normal but now that ive learned a ton and know how to do most things pretty well i wanna make it more difficult. but not like perma death or anything "Super Hardcore" any settings adivce besides choosing survival or turning up normal a bit?

[stuck berry]

Ground Combat = Hostile makes all worlds have at least High Sentinel Activity, to the point that those with it don't say it on their details since it's not notable anymore. It also significantly increases how many worlds are given Aggressive Sentinels, especially lush worlds. Since Low Sentinel Activity doesn't really exist with this option, "Paradise Planets" will never be found with it enabled.

So if you don't want all worlds to have sentinel patrols, keep it at least at Standard

[indigo lion]

is this built into survival diff? cause i would like to keep my full exploration options open

[stuck berry]

Yes, it is

but you can change all options to your liking

[indigo lion]

alr so ig ill have to go custom

[stuck berry]

there is no downside to that whatsoever

[indigo lion]

anyother settings i need to know abt

[worn oxide]

when i went with a friend recently everything was all good for me

[indigo lion]

also i will be starting a new save for this.

[stuck berry]

Ah, then anything below survival's normal settings disqualifies the special achievement/title you get for reaching the galactic core on it

but that itself is also given for doing it on permadeath, so you can just save both achievements for that

[stuck berry]

Survival by default has Death Consequences = Items Destroyed, meaning your death no longer creates a grave, and instead all of your items are permanently lost

[indigo lion]

yea.. im not a hardcore player. i a roleplayer lol i dont think ill ever have what it takes for permadeath

[stuck berry]

Also, survival's biggest impact normally is Inventory Stack Limits = Restricted, which makes all substances only stack to 500 normally, with 1,000 in storage container slots and 2,000 in freighter cargo slots

[indigo lion]

i can handle that XD but if i died in permadeath after like 200 hours i would legit wanna throw myself off a bridge

i hate nothing more then feeling like im wasting my time

[stuck berry]

Also another massive thing in survival's default settings is Survival Difficulty = Challenging, which significantly reduces how long your base hazard protection bar can last when exposed to hazards

[indigo lion]

tbh i feel way too tanky. even when i was on piddly upgrades or didnt know how to optimize

[stuck berry]

Also, Technology Damage = Challenging makes it so that your exosuit or starship technology can become damaged when you take damage with the shield anywhere below full, with the chance increasing the lower it is

[indigo lion]

oh boy...

[stuck berry]

Normally, technology only has a chance to be damaged when your shields are greatly depleted or gone entirely

[indigo lion]

glad i like a setup that favors keeping sields up all the time lol

[stuck berry]

so spam those starship recharge things and shoot the sentinel canisters when you can lol

[indigo lion]

phase beam is a lifesaver i basicaly tap it whenever i take dmg

[stuck berry]

oh another big thing: Fuel Usage = Harsh makes you need 25% more fuel to do things

for example, your first warp will require 2 Warp Cells due to them only recharging 20%, when you need 25% to warp

[indigo lion]

wait so does that mean we only get 3 charges out of launch boosters with that?

[stuck berry]

I think it also increases how much is needed to recharge them too, I recall being able to insert 2 Warp Hypercores to recharge the hyperdrive, and needing to insert more into portals

[stuck berry]

By default, yes

[indigo lion]

hmmmm only thing i think i wanna def change is the worlds hosility/combat cause i wanna avoid eliminating any planet types or anything.

[stuck berry]

Yes, taking off uses 30% fuel

[stuck berry]

I guess I was wrong, or maybe something else controls that idk

[indigo lion]

This all helps a ton Thx!

[stuck berry]

Yeah, this was the reason I switched back to Normal, but tbh I should have stayed on survival and just set that to normal

also the stack sizes, which I could absolutely manage but my freighter inventory looks like this which got a bit overwhelming

[indigo lion]

wouldve been nice if they just made them like 'Extremely' rare instead of just gone entirely

[stuck berry]

Technically there are some bugs that cause Low Sentinel Activity to appear still, but Low Sentinel activity in this option is defined to match High Sentinel Activity, so sentinel patrols still exist

[indigo lion]

yea my save has always had 9999 stack limits lol thats def gonna be a adjustment. no more hoarding things so i never have to go back lol

[stuck berry]

Lush worlds themselves still exist the same, and still have the same storm chances as alll other gamemodes

[pastel light]

ive seen in videos of someone having like 20 million storage slots in the persons exosuit but when i look at mine (im still in the prossess of upgrading cause ive been busy getting to purple systems) it doesnt look like it would be as much as i saw in the videos, im just wondering how the other people do it

[stuck berry]

We can only add up to 120 Cargo Slots to our exosuit

Any more is the result of save editing/mods

[pastel light]

ik that

hard to explain what im getting at

[stuck berry]

If you have screenshots/videos, that would help

[pastel light]

so ill just leave it be untill i answe my own question

[stuck berry]

Maybe you were seeing them access their Storage Containers aboard their freighter using the Matter Beam

[pastel light]

anyway, how do you upgrade ship class, if possible

[stuck berry]

At any Starship Outfitting Terminal, using boatloads of Nanites

!faq-nanites

[pastel light]

alr cool

[indigo lion]

back left of every space station and front left by the tent in outlaw stations

Note: outlaw stations lack the Starship Fabricator

[pastel light]

i think im gonna start making my first very basic corvette tomorrow

or at least getting the parts for it

[buoyant terrace]

Could someone rate my ship and give me suggestions for what else i should add?

[stuck berry]

Supercharge the core Infra-Knife Accelerator instead of one of the upgrades

Get more technology slots

Also, remove the Indium Drive as it's not necessary (Atlantid Drive enables travel to all)

[indigo lion]

1 core + 1 upgrade is usually better then 2 Sc upgrades

[buoyant terrace]

Ohh okay

[stuck berry]

It is always better, other than on the Neutron Cannon

[pastel light]

what are the x upgrades again?

[pastel light]

ah

[indigo lion]

i love my cannon lol its my staff weapon of choice i be shooting magic balls everywhere XD

[pastel light]

how worth it are those type of upgrades

[stuck berry]

Also try to make it stay in this shape

[indigo lion]

they can be much greater than S class

but they can also be much worse then s class modules. so its a rng game

[buoyant terrace]

how is this?

[pastel light]

i guess ill be coming here often when i get any

[stuck berry]

Not the optimal shape

[buoyant terrace]

This?

I cant do it the other way because it wont supercharge the core

[stuck berry]

Do this, with the bottom left upgrade and the main module in the supercharged slots

[indigo lion]

i think its usually always better to have the crafted module touching to core aswell if im not mistaken

AKA the one you cant replace with an S class

[stuck berry]

"crafted modules"?

Are you referring to Corvette Module upgrades?

[indigo lion]

No? every weapon has a B class upgrade we can craft for it

[buoyant terrace]

Here, Il try getting another infra module

[indigo lion]

im saying that is always supposed to be touching to core from what i know

[buoyant terrace]

i already had one nvm, how is this?

[stuck berry]

This is the optimal shape

[stuck berry]

Oh that, the blueprint

yes, that's better to touch that for almost all of these

specifically due to how adjacency works

[deft current]

Q: What do the Point and Come Here gestures do in regards to Pets..? My Pets seem to do nothing..?

[stuck berry]

Your pet will go forward when the Point gesture is used, and return to you when the Come Here gesture is used

[deft current]

Ok, i thought they should, but alas, they ignore such things.. lol..

[stuck berry]

It's working fully for me

maybe it's broken on specific types of creatures

but for the ones I'm testing (Plant cat, Mecha-Mouse) it's working

[deft current]

I will keep testing..

[deft current]

Those Pet sound very cool, any pics of them you can show..?!

[pastel light]

how many hours have you put into the game

if you dont mind me asking

[stuck berry]

The latter one is an expedition reward

[stuck berry]

uhm

[deft current]

Thxs! I have the Plant Cat, thought it was a "dog", lol I haven't seen that mouse yet, tyvm!

[buoyant terrace]

Does it matter which ship i use? i use a pretty basic ship

[pastel light]

i see why you are alwasy the one to respond

you know everything

[indigo lion]

XD

Btw Grouch. Would it be too much to ask for anoth Pheonix when i make this new character?

[stuck berry]

Not too much, personal preference really. Some ups and downs based on ship type but upgrades matter a thousand times more. With the right upgrade layout and supercharging, you can make a Shuttle destroy a pirate dreadnought without a thought

[stuck berry]

That would be fine!

[deft current]

Is there a way to get Pets to attack other planet fauna..

[indigo lion]

i think just point at it?

[stuck berry]

I think if the fauna attack you they might? Getting companions to attack has always been strange

I've seen clips of them attacking sentinels and destroying walkers, but that was probably "fixed"

[indigo lion]

nahh i brought out my little pink bug fro mthe exp and that thing eats ANYTHING nearby

[stuck berry]

(mainly tiny dogs one shotting walkers)

[indigo lion]

automatically

[deft current]

Yes, that works, but only predators attack me..

[indigo lion]

this guy is a killer

[buoyant terrace]

Okay, what upgrades should i get for my sheilds?

[stuck berry]

Just three S-Class upgrades, along with the blueprint tech that gives a tiny boost

or illegal ones, if you can roll higher than S

[indigo lion]

i find shields among one ofthe harder ones to get good rolls on

[deft current]

High aggression, was it a predator before being your Pet..?

[indigo lion]

came from an expedition reward egg

prettymuch all mine did.

except this pretty birb eugene gave me earlier id show it but i havent hatched it yet

[obsidian tusk]

all day all night in photo mode

[indigo lion]

Def post ur pics in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/215940434516639745

[deft current]

..More on this, one has to be attacked in the close presence of a Pet, i find running circles between the two works, once i'm tagged i stay behind my Pet and it usually one-shots the aggressor, but i'm still worried one day i'll lose a Pet, lol..

[obsidian tusk]

my abd wrog channel xd

sry

[stuck berry]

thankfully our companions can't die under normal circumstances, and even if they could (some bugs upon initial adoption allow this) they can just be resummoned

[indigo lion]

not being like that i mean itsa rlly good photo and you should share it lol. idc if you send a few pics. i technially shouldnt have sent that fauna pic but its whatever lol

[velvet flame]

How to craft with materials in your freighters storage container if u r not in ur freighter

[indigo lion]

Gotta have a Matter Beam installed

[stuck berry]

Take them from the containers into your suit inventory, or go to your freighter

[obsidian tusk]

no i mean i litteraly posted in wrong channed wanted post in no man sky normal channel and photo mode xd

[indigo lion]

XDD

oof

[stuck berry]

But yeah, with the Matter Beam it seems you can also just craft using stuff in those when in-system with it

[velvet flame]

I have that but when i want to craft/sell anything that i have in freighters storage container i cant do it without manually transferring the part to my starship or suit

[deft current]

..This hasn't worked for me yet, so i will test more bc you said our Pets won't die..! 🙂

[velvet flame]

Damn theres no other way?

[indigo lion]

Grouch did you mention economy at all earlier? i dont remember. an im thinking are the prices for everything gonna go crazy? or is normal it?

[stuck berry]

To sell stuff from containers, it's required. The Matter Beam should enable crafting using stuff from storage containers when in the same system as freighter, at least it's doing that for me right now

[stuck berry]

Oh, they should be the same as Normal, but 3x Relaxed

[velvet flame]

Doesnt seem to work for me is there any fix

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure, are you sure you have the Matter Beam installed onto your freighter?

[indigo lion]

you can craft with it. and transfer from it for refiners and such but things like settlement upgrades and trading/selling items to a trade terminal requires the items to be in one ofyour main inventories ie. suit/ship/freighter

[velvet flame]

Yeah i can transfer items bw my freighter from any system just not craft even if in the same system

[stuck berry]

@indigo lion also Purchases = Expensive isn't used in any preset, probably because it's extremely harsh, making things cost 2.5x more

[indigo lion]

gotcha thats good

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure what's preventing you from doing that then. Maybe it's tied to me using a corvette with the containers but I'm many hundreds of u away from it and saved + reloaded

[obsidian tusk]

nonono

[indigo lion]

and when you say craft you mean crafting like metal plates using ferrite from a container for example right?

[obsidian tusk]

to craft with item in storage you need warp your freighter to current system

[indigo lion]

theyre saying thats not even working

[obsidian tusk]

to access base freighter no but storage yes

it does

i have all difficulty settings to maximum nothing impact it

[rich stratus]

I think you gave the quad egg to the wrong person cuz i did check i never got it i did see someone else get it in the chat message

[crystal turret]

You didnt dm me

[buoyant terrace]

How do i get another emergancy warp unit if i used one?

[indigo lion]

the upgrade?

i think you just repair the tech

[buoyant terrace]

nevermind i just realized yeah

[buoyant terrace]

What does this do and how do i do it?

[stuck berry]

It opens the menu for you to manage your settlements from. You can only select it if you have at least one settlement

[buoyant terrace]

How do i get a settlement?

[stuck berry]

You should get a secondary mission called "The Settlers" at some point through the main story, introducing you to your first one through a distress signal

you can locate them at any point before or after this though, using Settlement Charts bought from Space Station Cartographers

[buoyant terrace]

is this one? i am at it rn but

[stuck berry]

No, a major settlement

[buoyant terrace]

ohh i see

okay

[stuck berry]

like a town

[buoyant terrace]

Okay ty

[keen notch]

Hey, why i can't build a base near runaway mold curiosity? I only have deployables tab when entering build menu

[buoyant terrace]

How do i pay off my debt as a overseer?

[stuck berry]

Walk further from your corvette, or resummon it farther away from you/the curious deposits

[stuck berry]

Can't manually, must make decisions for your settlement until it becomes profitable and pays off the debt itself

[buoyant terrace]

okay, also how do i retire as a overseer? it says i need to complete objectives

[stuck berry]

You need to progress it a certain amount before you can retire (leave the settlement for good)

note that you can have up to 4 different settlements at a time

[keen notch]

I walked like 2k units away and still can't build

[stuck berry]

What's stopping you?

[keen notch]

I have only "Deployable tech" tab when i open build menu

[stuck berry]

This means that you are outside of the radius of a base. Are you trying to begin a new base?

If so, place and claim a Base Computer.

The Base Computer is a Deployable Technology, it's blueprint is given from the tutorial mission "Awakenings"

[buoyant terrace]

How rare is this encounter?

[stuck berry]

Just another space encounter, kind of rare but that's all of them really

[keen notch]

That worked, thank you. I tried placing the base computer in a different spot but it wouldn't let me for some reason and started this questionable situation😅

[buoyant terrace]

How do i use a settilment chart? do i use it on my ship or on a planet?

[stuck berry]

Either, but being on a planet usually guarantees that the settlement it locates is on that planet

note that you cannot oversee more than one settlement on the same planet at a time

[buoyant terrace]

Okay, because i used one on a planet and it didnt do anything

[tropic ginkgo]

the only reason that prevents you from placing a base computer is being too close to an existing base (or some story mission issue I'm not aware of)

[buoyant terrace]

Im trying to use a chart but it says "locatinal infterference" why?

[stuck berry]

There aren't any in the current system/close enough

Are you in an abandoned or uncharted system?

or a Gas Giant system?

[buoyant terrace]

im in a pirate one

[stuck berry]

Then idk, maybe there aren't any habitable planets, or those coincidentally don't have any

Settlements are not found on dead (Rusted Metal) or weird (Gold) planets/moons, as well as infested variants of other biomes #nms-commands message

[buoyant terrace]

Mine is a desert moon

[stuck berry]

Then maybe that's why, they either have a very hard time locating them or being on moons at all

[hushed cave]

i’ve been told blender is used for no mans sky by injecting the models directly into the game files. i’m assuming the modded parts are just visible to you and not anyone else in multiplayer then?

[inland ermine]

Nope

Blender uses existing ship and base parts

So the whole thing is visible

To everyone

And that's why lower-end hardware players tend to disable multiplayer while in Anomaly, because some models have so many assets, they can crash your GPU/RAM

[gray shoal]

U build in blender using nms parts basicaly

Instead using ingame build ui

[inland ermine]

The parts are simply placed in a way that you wouldn't be able to normally, but you use game assets, so the game just loads it.

[stuck berry]

There is a plugin/whatever to handle importing actual models into NMS as mods, but this has been outdated for a while now

this is fully separate to the Base Building Plugin https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/984

Whenever anyone references blender used for corvettes/bases, they are referencing the base builder plugin for Blender, not just Blender itself

[hushed cave]

ohhhhhh

that’s interesting thanks yall

[hushed cave]

i’d assume there’s a problem where some malicious people would abuse this by spamming their ships with lots of assets and causing other people to crash

[inland ermine]

Not as big as it could be. There are some known gigantic builds, like SW ships (Venator, Star Destroyer, miniature Death Star), but most people use Blender corvettes to just make stuff look cool and actually care about optimization.

[buoyant terrace]

Can someone please help me find a planetery setlment on my planet?

[stuck berry]

I could try, what are it's coordinates?

[buoyant terrace]

Sezviktorew

[stuck berry]

Ah I don't have a portal there, could I join you? (I don't wanna save edit like that on my main save)

[buoyant terrace]

yes

[buoyant terrace]

the moon is the one im trying to find one on

[obsidian tusk]

I don't get it you're on the 127th galaxy and you don't have enough navigation data to get a settlement chart?

[stuck berry]

Woops game crashed

[stuck berry]

Who are you talking to?

[buoyant terrace]

Its fine

[stuck berry]

If referring to Vortex, we're looking for one on a moon, which is super buggy

using charts to locate them on moons is just annoyingly buggy, partly because some moons might just entirely lack them, this one probably doesn't have one tbh

[stuck berry]

Also this is the planet I was talking about lol

[obsidian tusk]

Yes didn't know it was buggy on moons tbh

Buggy how like It just do nothing?

[buoyant terrace]

Thanks il check it out

[obsidian tusk]

So you just wander on the moon hoping to spot one?

[stuck berry]

kinda, and spamming charts to see the "locational interference" error

[swift sand]

good to know, thank you

[stuck berry]

it's a losing battle

[obsidian tusk]

Sometime ring is in the middle of the space station so you can't see shit inside lmao

[silver bluff]

Is there a way to change your name on NMS but not on steam

[stuck berry]

no

[long nova]

I have a question. Why can't I find any Electromagnetic hotspot in the Hexagon planet ?

I have my answer. Because i'm just unlucky ^^"

Found one. Ty anyway ^^

[stuck berry]

I was gonna say heh, always just unlucky

or using the wrong analysis visor mode, or etc

[long nova]

Was always "nothing around" but remembered that even with the text you can still hear if there is one far away in front of you.

And bingo

[stuck berry]

Yeah, they should definitely increase the range that blatantly it tells you one's near, cuz that headphone knowledge is niche yet essential

[pale valve]

Thank you. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, my internet went out.

[pale valve]

There are a ton of ways to get more, check out the wiki. I have a lot of oxygen and I found if you add faecium + oxygen you get a ton more. And there are a lot more recipies.

[sand warren]

I have technical issues where do I go?

[swift sand]

with the game? you can ask here

[sand warren]

So when I play If I go in a s0ace station or the anomaly my game with crash is this a normal thing or is it something I'm doing wrong and also I have visual glitch where I can't see corvette parts sometimes or even whole ships that fly into the space station

I got this message from scanning and turning 40 degrees

[swift sand]

1. so to be clear, this only happens when you're using a corvette ship?
2. "even whole ships that fly into the station" - even npc ships?

[desert escarp]

i just started a new game bc i did things wrong so, i started in a new planet and it says this, should i stay on this system? i have a paradise planet

[sand warren]

It started trying to build it I couldn't see the part but mainly yes it does happen quite often the npc ships u buy are like invisible partly I only know they are there bc they caption

[sand warren]

If anything you could travel and use pirt home or download vortex mod and use inf hyperactive back

[gray shoal]

Do as u like. It dont look like rare planet

[swift sand]

going to ping you in the #964865106334875698 thread

[desert escarp]

i mena the economy

mean**

[swift sand]

affluent is t3 eco, so yeah, not bad at all - better gear drop chances and increased stockpiles in the trade terminals/pilots is great to have imo.

[glad vessel]

Just to make things easier to access my base is the glyph portal thing something I have to unlock by doing the main story or can I get it earlier? I have the anomaly unlocked

[desert escarp]

i started a new game bc the last one i felt like cheating bc i used creative one time to buy a very cool ship but i wanna do things right so, i will use the other one to just test things ig

[desert escarp]

but im on t3 conflict too no?

[glad vessel]

No game mode is a wrong game mode, the whole game is about exploration and adventure- the difficulty is there for those who like a challenging experience 🙂

[desert escarp]

i know but it felt like cheating, like turning creative in mc to get diamonds or smth like that

[swift sand]

you are yeah. a few suggestions if you want to avoid combat as possible, but also have a way to emergency warp in combat and shield leech off enemy ships: unlock and install ship techs cargo scan deflector, emergency warp unit, phase beam. planetary pirate raids are more common in t3 conflict systems, but these cant happen when you're at a base

[sand warren]

Did I put it in the section correctly?

[desert escarp]

i will try it tysm

[glad vessel]

I’m kinda confused, but do I have to finish the main storyline to No Man’s Sky to unlock the glyph portal thing? I was looking into getting one on my base (or planet)

[tropic ginkgo]

no, but story missions speed up the process significantly

[wet sigil]

Artemis story unlocks the portal glyphs, you don't need it to find a portal, but to have full functionality, you need all 16 and Artemis is the fastest way to get all 16

[glad vessel]

I see

I was looking to get the game finished simply because I need that and I was gonna try get the astrophage to fit the theme of my base

[pale valve]

There is a reddit page about it and if you get the 1st 2 (through travellers) there is a portal you can go to with teleports to different graves that have the glyphs. I just got them all yesterday for the first time. But maybe doing storyline is easier. I just wanted it set asap.

Some were working and some weren't. An updated post had portals to travellers in spacestations

[wet sigil]

If autophage is the goal, I wouldn't really go the community glyph planet to find them, since it's Artemis quest is unavoidable unless you absolutely cannot wait for the portal glyphs

[glad vessel]

Is there a way to get music to play inside my base that isn’t a big box with repetitive noise that burns your ears?

[glad vessel]

Yeah I was aware since i seen I gotta finish the storyline to initiate the chances

[wet sigil]

No, bytebeat is your only method, though there are tracks on line you can copy, though you usually need 8 machines to get the full beat

[glad vessel]

Is there no option to play the game’s OST through the bytebeat?

[wet sigil]

No, bytebeat is a completely different thing, it's basically a Mathematical way to generate music, which limits it's functionality

[glad vessel]

Oh and one last thing that’s been annoying me for ages

[pale valve]

This is what I used yesterday though it was kinda tedious. Took an hour or two and I got lucky that some seemed to reset:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/1baov8w/get_all_glyphs_in_minutes_new_method/

[glad vessel]

Power doors locking shut when I link power to them

And wall switches don’t open them

The second a generator links to it it’s slammed shut and doesn’t open

[wet sigil]

Power doors work like that, they close when you power them

If you want to use it as an automatic door, you may need to use a proximity switch and an inverter

[glad vessel]

Is there a way to turn them into openable doors?

Switch on a wall, button etc

[wet sigil]

You can try switch

[pale valve]

What are people's thoughts on settlements? Are they fun at all?

[wet sigil]

I use them for the tower building, since they give anomaly detector charges once every 24 hours and I you couldn't pay me enough to farm anomaly detectors.

I also use autophage settlements, still suffering from the PTSD where I spent 30 minutes to find an inverted mirror, now I always keep a few stacks.

But calling it fun process might be stretching it imo

[pale valve]

Are autophage settlements any different than other ones?

[wet sigil]

In terms of how they work, not even slightly, they differ only in what items they can produce, same as with the other 3 races

You just have a In Stellar Multitude quest requirement tacked on

[pale valve]

I will have to look up what types of items they produce, I didn't realize different races produced different things

[silver bluff]

are flea interceptors the smallest starships

[wet sigil]

Some buildings produce the exact same items (e.g. farm and starport), some produce different items (e.g. recreation centre)

[pale valve]

HOpefully I can find a list somewhere

[wet sigil]

The mast list is in the settlement overview list

If your settlement is already producing, the list you see when you select what to produce is exhaustive, everything available is listed

[pale valve]

Thanks! I found one through a mission on a frost planet but it had gotten attacked 4 times in the 10 min I was there so I left it. I'm thinking about trying to find one on a nicer planet

[glad vessel]

Ngl I don’t even know I got forced by the game to be an overseer of a vykeen settlement in heavy debt

[wet sigil]

Heavy debt is normal, that's how all settlement starts out

[glad vessel]

I have like 20k of these happiness things in my inventory that a guy in anomaly gave me and I don’t know how to use em

[stuck berry]

Probably. There's also tiny fighters, shuttles in general, haulers that look super goofy, exotic ships and yeah flees which are probably the most compact of the bunch

[glad vessel]

30k happiness idk

[wet sigil]

You can ditch them I think

[stuck berry]

They are useless

you may discard them

they're unobtainable outside of save editing

[fair violet]

Hey guys is this normal?

[stuck berry]

What about this image do you think is abnormal?

[fair violet]

Last i checked teleport receiver don't go to sentinel ships

[stuck berry]

Everything in this image lines up to me

[stuck berry]

That's false

it can go on all types of starship except for living ships

[fair violet]

When did they change that?

[desert escarp]

can i do my base here? or it will bug?

[stuck berry]

To my knowledge it has always been like this

[fair violet]

Ok.

[stuck berry]

You may, terrain like that will never change.

[desert escarp]

LETSGOOOO

its a shame i dont have a lake near
