[mossy panther]

?

considering we have portals

can't i just buy stuff from one system then teleport to another

and sell it?

would i even have to warp around?

[lethal grotto]

ye

you can buy and warp

and buy and warp

[mossy panther]

but like

why would i need to warp?

theres the teleporters right?

[lethal grotto]

for other stock?

ye

[mossy panther]

which send u from one station to any other station

without having to enter ur ship

[lethal grotto]

in front of the trade terminal

the big blue portal

[mossy panther]

yeah

oh

so i use that

not my ship

right?

[lethal grotto]

ye

its faster

[mossy panther]

exactly

[lethal grotto]

and more efficient

[mossy panther]

why isnt this the premier money making method then?

its essentially free money atp without time investment

[lethal grotto]

you might want to try flipping the trade surge

yk that>

[mossy panther]

yeah

did find it once

[lethal grotto]

just use radar on your ship to find one

then buy low sell high

[mossy panther]

is it available in every system?

[lethal grotto]

or just afk in anomally

[mossy panther]

like

[lethal grotto]

free money method ngl

[mossy panther]

scanning-

[mossy panther]

honestly

wanna avoid that

ruins the game

[lethal grotto]

ye prob anywhere

[mossy panther]

ait

[lethal grotto]

im not so sure ab that

cause i only use em when im in space

but maybe you can just sit in your ship ig

[mossy panther]

lemme check rq

[wide onyx]

can there be both a waterworld and a gas giant on one purple system?

ok

[stuck berry]

No, as Gas Giant systems only have moons orbiting the Gas Giant

and Waterworlds do not exist in the form of giants or moons

[wide onyx]

ok

thanks for letting me know

do drowning planets have some land or is it js a waterworld

[stuck berry]

Some can have a little land, some can have a decent amount of land but most will almost completely lack land

[wide onyx]

ok

[subtle crown]

What're the best corvette duo weapons?

Is it infra knife + rocket or cyclon + photon cannon or a different choice?

[stuck berry]

Heck, Photon Cannon is enough for me

[wide onyx]

i prefer infra+rocket

all of them are pretty good tho

no bad weapon

[subtle crown]

Yup, think Ima remove infra knife and stick with photon cannon + rocket

I just did some damage calculations and apparently they have similar DPS fully upgraded

There's no point to using a slower infra knife that misses.

[wide onyx]

infras are faster than photon

less accurate tho

[subtle crown]

Higher fire rate but slower projectiles

There's almost no spread with infra knife, it's inaccurate because of targetting system actually

[timber pine]

what are forbidden upgrades? i got 2 from salvaged glass

do i instal them or sell them for nanites

[weak cloud]

When searching for mineral hotspots for a farm, how important is the class rating?

[shell ridge]

They can have higher or lower stats then S class. It's rng. They're also valuable to sell if you don't open them.

[timber pine]

what should i do with them as a begineer?

[shell ridge]

Not very. You can build more extractors to get the desired amount.

[weak cloud]

That's been my general thought, but I wanted other opinions. Thanks.

[shell ridge]

Totally up to you. The forbidden Exosuit upgrades help health and lifesupport. The weapons are only upgrades for the boltcaster .

[timber pine]

if i want to fight more sentinnels do i use them or sell them and buy more upgrades?

[shell ridge]

If you're using the boltcaster they can help.

[stone carbon]

what's the most reliable way of obtaining sentinel boundry maps?

[gray shoal]

They drop from glass that drops from killing sentinels.

Its effect is same as u would go through wanted lvl 5. It marks sentinel pillar.

Also There is a nexus mission that guides u to a pillar

And fight sentinels

[stone carbon]

I see, thank you

[humble pendant]

You can also fight all 5 waves of sentinels

[stone carbon]

I'll probably do that tbh

[humble pendant]

Or go up in rank in one of the guilds and they’ll give you one in the space station

[timber pine]

Is there Any Thing Like A Chest In The space anomaly where i can store my stuff? Also, How do i use the chat in the space anomaly

[swift sand]

also, some mercenary guild envoys (requires standing)

[worldly sable]

I saved thr cargo from pirates, I'm supposed to get a reward by talking to the captain, but talking to him does nothing. What am I missing,

[stone carbon]

I'll keep an eye out for those, ty

[humble pendant]

That’s not the captain

[swift sand]

go up to the bridge

[worldly sable]

found him

apparently there are several captains 🥸

[swift sand]

@worldly sable that said, if you did talk to the captain up on the bridge, and still not progressing, it'll probably be because playing in a group

[swift sand]

probably just a frigate captain maybe

or just the affix for npcs

[timber pine]

how do i use the chat in the space anomaly?

[swift sand]

can only text chat on pc, press enter to open chat box

[timber pine]

ah thanks!

[weak cloud]

What's the top extraction rate per hour for a group of mineral or gas extractors before diminishing returns set in? 1000/hr?

Thanks @swift sand . I wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly.

[humble pendant]

For future reference saving a freighter will create a quest in your journal. If you select it then you’ll have the quest icon showing on top of the captain’s head and you’ll know exactly who to talk to

[cursive cedar]

I’ve been trying to start a trace of metal so I got a settlement but when warping to other systems I haven’t gotten the com message

Does it not work if you have something being built

[timber pine]

if i instal a forbidden weapon upgrade on my multitool can i put it in a different multitool later?

[swift sand]

yeah, that might be related. i'd suggest waiting till you have nothing being built, and also when the tooltip lower right of the settlers mission says you're free to explore.

[swift sand]

you can cursor over it and store it, switch tool, cursor over it in inventory, and install it again on a free tech slot. reminder that forbidden aka sentinel weapon modules only buff boltcaster

[timber pine]

yeah i only have the bolt caster

[swift sand]

gotcha. it can be awesome, and with 3 sentinel modules + the 3 s-class modules stacked it will do lots of damage

[timber pine]

oh wait, so if i get any other weapons the forbidden upgrades will be useless yes?

[lament furnace]

what the heck it thats

[humble pendant]

No, they work with all weapons

[timber pine]

oh they do.? are there any weapons they dont work with?

[humble pendant]

Not that I know of

They’re a general upgrade for your entire weapon system, which is also why you can stack them along with the upgrade modules specific to each weapon without overloading them

[grim bluff]

Quick question

Should i get back to nms ?

[humble pendant]

Yes

[grim bluff]

Alright

[swift sand]

correct. also @humble pendant

[swift sand]

nah, we've tested it, and they only really buff boltcaster

[humble pendant]

Really? I could have sworn they were also working with my pulse spitter

[errant lance]

this is pmo a bit, looking around all the planets and scanning and for me to get no where

[swift sand]

emergency civ pod it seems? just a flavor encounter

[timber pine]

where can i sell my stuff in the space anomaly? ive been searching for a bunch of time know without any success

[lament furnace]

ok thanks

[swift sand]

try to, goto space, open galaxy map, warp to the first system marked by the yellow pathline, the galactic core one. dont be in a group to avoid bugs with quest progression

[swift sand]

for just items, cant sell them in the anomaly need to go to a space station

[ornate pilot]

I don't think there is any galactic terminal to sell things at the anomaly. It sits outside the regular universe, hence its name 🙂

[errant lance]

WHAT TF IS THIS

[errant lance]

ty

[swift sand]

a black hole space encounter

[ornate pilot]

Black hole.

[timber pine]

oh damn, how do i find an space station?

[swift sand]

bh in nms are more like wormholes

[errant lance]

ah

[swift sand]

if you've progressed main storyline enough, any gek/korvax/vykeen system will have a space station, it will be marked, yellow icon in space

[timber pine]

what is far enough

[errant lance]

scared for a second, thought I was about to be cooked by the black hole

[swift sand]

@errant lance in short, a warp somewhere else most often far away you dont control, could teleport back for example, no damage, no fuel used

[timber pine]

oh i think i see the logo

yeah i found it

[humble pendant]

Up until a few updates ago you could. Now it’s just the galaxy core that does that

Black holes are now harmless afaik

[swift sand]

quite a few updates actually, they've not done any damage in years now

[humble pendant]

That tracks, I’m getting back in after a good 2-3 years hiatus

[swift sand]

used to damage 1 random tech or module per warp

[timber pine]

how do i sell my artifact?

oh it needs to be in my inventory not in starship

[humble pendant]

There’s a button to change inventory when you’re selling or buying stuff

[buoyant terrace]

astrophage space station when

[humble pendant]

Look at the top, it’ll tell you which

[timber pine]

oh wait thats genius

[swift sand]

#nms-the-future 😉 (and gentle reminder, can always suggest stuff to the devs via the zendesk link)

[wide onyx]

!hg

[ornate pilot]

I remember taking damage, and never took them again 😂

[stone carbon]

Is it that one multitool spawns at a sentinel pillar per system or per planet?

[wide onyx]

@buoyant terrace

[fair raft]

I am getting asked to. In a corrupted freigher to fabricate tech ,or freight, corvette. Which do i prio more I am a new player . Any suggestions

[distant pike]

If it says 1400kp available and 512 used in power, does that mean I can add more things that can use power without messing it up

Cause I have a lot to spare

[swift sand]

per planet

[stone carbon]

oh? okay good to know

[swift sand]

personally, i'd go either tech or bulkhead. i'd probably take the bulkhead.

[swift sand]

also see image:

[timber pine]

whats an ai starship valve do? It has an extremely high value

[swift sand]

in short, you need double the power that you're using: the ratio's, like tyndall said before, always 2 panels to 1 battery

[stone carbon]

thats honestly so helpful for me rn, i'm looking for a white / gold one

[swift sand]

just to be sold for cash

[timber pine]

ah, thats good to know, some kind stranger gave me one

[swift sand]

nms community is quite generous 🙂

[tulip dust]

***Accepting and giving gifts to/from other players***

❓ I was in the anomaly and someone gave me a stack of (Starship AI valves, Stasis Devices, Void Eggs...) Should I sell them?

Maybe! As you progress in the game, the difficulty level drops. The real challenge is getting out of the initial 'hole' of having no inventory space, no income, and no resources. Being gifted valuable materials breaks that dynamic, and for many, can remove a significant portion of satisfying gameplay before they even have a chance to understand that this progression curve exists.

Important note: No Man's Sky is not a competitive game; one player's success has no impact to another's success or enjoyment. As such, this server's official stance on methods some consider 'cheating' - which would include duping, save editing, and mods - are all valid gameplay.

Certainly, players with all sorts of play styles exist, and not everyone has time to put in tens or hundreds of hours into a game. Some would appreciate being gifted valuable items, even after knowing they are artificially skipping potentially satisfying self-accomplishment.

Therefore: It's this author's opinion that the important part of both giving and accepting gifts is ensuring the recipient understands the potential gameplay/accomplishment ramifications. Some players could be best served by disposing of unrequested handouts.

[swift sand]

12M isnt really going to be a huge boost

but it's certainly a great amount if you were just thinking of buying basic mats off terminals and pilots

[stone carbon]

not quite the 600m you get from stasis devices 💀

[swift sand]

well, each SD is worth 15.6M

ofc, stacked up, that goes up

[timber pine]

what are some good nanite weapons for multi tool?

[swift sand]

dont worry about the damage potential value you see on your multitool inventory. a great part of it is about gameplay preferences, after upgrades they can all shred. see below:

• scatter blaster: old fashioned shotgun
• neutron cannon: space shotgun, charge up, aoe blast, massive damage
• pulse spitter: smg style, mid range, chews ammo like there's no tomorrow
• boltcaster: dart gun, but after upgrades, it's devastating
• plasma launcher: grenade launcher
• blaze jav: sniper

[timber pine]

mm,

so something i wanted to aslo ask about the multitool

[pastel light]

Funny recreation

[timber pine]

when buying a new one, should i take a look at the potential damage value, scanner proximity or upgrade spaces?

like with this

[swift sand]

1. about damage potential, see image:
2. scanner range, doesnt matter atm. you can max that out with upgrade modules on any tool.
3. a tool is an upgrade if 1) you love how it looks 2) it has more slots than your current one(s) 3) it has more supercharged slots (the purple slots) revealed than your current one(s) / is of higher class than yours

supercharged slot layouts are sought for, especially those in adjacent slots, compared to ones that have spread apart supercharged slots, making these last ones probably a bit more suitable for all rounder tools

SC slots buff whatever's installed in them by 1.25x - when it comes to weapons, rule of thumb, first SC core weapon tech, then modules if using more than 1 SC for that weapon. set by class, number of SC slots is C1 B2 A3 S4.

and finally, "looks first" because we can upgrade any tool, and any supercharged slot layout we may get works anyway

[timber pine]

so the looks are the most important? 🤣 ill keep that in mind,

[swift sand]

game isn't going to ask that you run maxed out gear to casually stroll through the game, no

[distant pike]

Oh wow so I can’t add like lamps and stuff

[swift sand]

for example, you could just build everything you need, hook it all up to the power grid, interact with a battery or panel or em generator, and see how much power you need. if you're using solar p+bats, you can use the power command in #nms-commands

like so

!power 1000

[tulip dust]

@swift sand

For a power consumption of 1000 kPs you will require:

**40 ** Solar Panels
**18 ** Batteries

[wide onyx]

whats the best way to farm quicksilver?

[upper hawk]

my galaxy map is showing me warp lines on another path but really isn't showing me warp lines to the objective. Do i just go ahead and warp to that (objective labled) system anyways? and this is the quest that gives u the 16 glyphs or smth for starbirth

[swift sand]

nexus missions is it yeah, remember that weekend mission gives 1800qs

[wide onyx]

the purge requires you to warp in any way, doesnt matter where

[swift sand]

in addition to what bluewrath said, also see <#nms-commands message>

[timber pine]

can this game be played offline?

[manic vessel]

yes

[swift sand]

that said depending on platform might be required to do periodic logins online to maintain ability to launch the game while not connected to the web

[swift sand]

@distant pike oh, btw, there are some decorations that dont need power to work, right.

[zenith oyster]

when visiting an ancient ruin, there should be a chest or something right? or can there also be just 1 ancient fragment with a key

[swift sand]

see image: every buried ruin should have more than enough keys and the chest

[zenith oyster]

im i missing someting or can it be further away?

[swift sand]

i'd suggest going to the center of the ruin, they should be popping on your visor. try to switch to target sweep mode then back again to regular visor mode first

[zenith oyster]

thanks, ill give it a go!

[distant pike]

Yeah

[timber pine]

i accidently got negative karma, can i gain it back?

[copper mason]

I destroyed the pirate but can't go upstairs to claim the ship i fall right through

[swift sand]

try using the short range teleporter instead of the stairs

standing in front of and facing the stairs in the hanger, turn around, you'll see the pad

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[swift sand]

yeah, for example, through missions at the mission board agent, or defeating pirates, or even just gifting specific items to most npcs of that race

losing a standing point isn't a big deal, neither is being hundreds in the black - can even reset it back to neutral by using a single item (i.e. forged passport)

[timber pine]

ah thats, great to know

i decided to reload though cause i was in a pirate battle and i got targeted by korvax machine

[dark holly]

use illegal papers to reset them

thats def not morally dubious

[calm wasp]

Why i cant change Skin in Egg seqencer?

I trying so much different ressource in Gen Splitter and everytime same skin

[swift sand]

some unique pets just cant have their appearance changed

[calm wasp]

thats normal pets which found on planet...

[swift sand]

weird, can you post a screenshot of the pet?

[swift sand]

hmm, dont know why you'd not be able to change colors on that - maybe there's a bug somewhere? especially if you're trying it with multiple pets

[pastel light]

How many cargo slots can I have in my eco suit

[swift sand]

up to 120, and 60 tech

[upper hawk]

How do I send my frigates on voyages?

[pastel light]

Does it show more to unlock when I get all of these? Cause doing the math id get about 50 total slots

Cargo slots

[upper hawk]

you can scroll down i believe

[calm wasp]

I need a list for shape and colors. A picture is very nice i am afraid about to click any links

[swift sand]

talk to navigator npc on freighter bridge, usually needs to have 5 fleet command rooms for 5 fleet expeditions

[copper mason]

If i demand tribute can i still take the ship?

[swift sand]

yes, grid will expand

[pastel light]

That’s what I was trying to get at last time I asked something similar (idk if it was you who had answered or if it was someone else)

Also no offense if that sounded rude

[swift sand]

check this image:

[swift sand]

sorry if it was me and i wasn't able to clarify it first time and forced you to ask again. in any case, always feel free to ask as much as you need to. yeah, when you get to fill up all those gaps and the visible grid, it'll just expand further, opening a new row.

[timber pine]

whats a freighter?

and is it worth taking control of one?

[pastel light]

No it wasn’t that no one answered wrong, I think I had just worded it wrong and couldn’t get the answer I was looking for

[swift sand]

you'll naturally get one, eventually by just progressing through the game you'll be introduced to them through rescue battle events. they're pretty useful

check !faq-freighters in #nms-commands for more infos

[timber pine]

i just did a rescue battle i think

i just dont know if its worth taking

[copper mason]

If i take tribute can i also seize the ship the dreadnought from the pirates? Or is it only one reward?

[swift sand]

afaik no, either one or the other

[timber pine]

cause i can request payment instead

[swift sand]

until you take ownership of a freighter all freighters rescued from pirates will be offered for free. personally, i think that a freighter asap is better than holding back for another later on.

[tulip dust]

@timber pine
-# to view info below, enable embeds

What should I look for in a first freighter?

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

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

[dark holly]

yo @swift sand i need some know how on what happened to those, u tend to know the best for whatever reason
they got silently removed like idk when between december 2024 and ~late 2025

[timber pine]

i am confused

[dark holly]

im asking u in specific about this cause u know random lore but i doubt u know anything about ts

[timber pine]

if i take this one can i not get any other freighter?

[dark holly]

no but the next one wont be free

[timber pine]

i have no idea if this is a good one, i dont think it is

[dark holly]

tldr
get a at least a class free one

[timber pine]

so should i take the one in the picture or wait for a better one.?

[dark holly]

and put a matter beam on it so you can use it as a enderchest

[dark holly]

thats not a good class no

[swift sand]

imo it really doesn't matter

[dark holly]

the design and color is pretty neat

so go ahead

as it really doesnt matter that much

but

[swift sand]

you wont have the upgrades atm to make use of a higher class freighter anyway

[dark holly]

be warned

[timber pine]

about what.???

[dark holly]

honestly, id lowk pick it

it looks sick asf

[dark holly]

u losing some cargo slots in ur freighter or some shi

[timber pine]

how can that happen?

[dark holly]

because higher class ships...
have more cargo slots

ANYWAYS, that doesnt matter
put a matter beam on there
put storage units on there

and then ur gonna have ur entire inventory constantly transported and accesible

[timber pine]

is there a way to upgrade storage

[timber pine]

oh

so you can upgrade storage?

alright i took the freigher

[dark holly]

-# its annoying asf on a freighter + u cant upgrade class + im pretty sure the maximum is lower

but it looks neat so lowk who cares

[timber pine]

yeahh

[dark holly]

its a sandbox game not factorio

[timber pine]

something about freighers though

how do they work

[dark holly]

-# bk reminder for this, actually qutie important

[timber pine]

can i travel in them

or do i have to come back to them all the time

[dark holly]

like static space bases where u can warp to and from and warp between systems

and u can call em in on planets and in space like u would the anomaly

[timber pine]

wait thats lowkey sick

so its like a base that i can call at any time

[swift sand]

curved wall and stuff, that's been gone since before NEXT/NEXT took them away (i think). cube and sphere are still in the game

[dark holly]

yep literally

[dark holly]

no, those were at least in the recipes up until late 2024

[swift sand]

not that i'm aware, at least i never had curved wall

[dark holly]

but they got silently KILLED between then and late 2025

[dark holly]

.. yea they werent in the building menu

just recipe menu

[upper hawk]

thanks

[swift sand]

unless you mean that you unlocked them via save editor or something

[timber pine]

how do i get the matter beam on it?

[dark holly]

they were those blacked out slots which just mysteriously disapeared one day

[swift sand]

freighter bridge, upgrade terminal, base parts& upgrades. see <#nms-commands message> for salvaged frigate module drop sources

[dark holly]

here a 2023 screenshot from asteroth where they would have been

didnt make a screenshot myself back in 2024/2025 unfortunately

they are still in the game and in my known products but neither in the recipes nor the build menu

[timber pine]

where can i find derelict freighers?

[swift sand]

well they probably just got removed from the catalog because they werent available to unlock anymore

[stone carbon]

does this work indefinitely? I'm only seeing two color schemes and nothing else

[dark holly]

-# that means icant cachepin glitch em anymore 🥺

[swift sand]

yeah, that's gonna require some unit investment, each scanner costs like 5M - there's cheaper ways to get salvaged frigate modules. a little bit of piracy or mission boards for 4 or 5 SFM for matter beam isnt going to hurt

[swift sand]

did you check other pillars on the same planet?

[stone carbon]

oh.. no I havent, I've been going to the same pillar every time. should I find a new one?

[dark holly]

is there still the method of putting it into ur personal refinery to save on cash 😭

[swift sand]

if you find more, you should get more colors yeah

[swift sand]

oh i sorta just forgot 😅 yeah, i think so 🙂

[stone carbon]

I'll give that a try, thank you

[timber pine]

whats the best way to farm di-hydrogen?

[dark holly]

atp i be asking u shit which even u dont know
ive exhausted ur knowledge, im fucked

[timber pine]

it looks like ill need a ton for frigate

[swift sand]

trade terminals/npc pilots, buy jelly, refine to dihydro

[swift sand]

so just so i'm clear, you wanted to have those parts back in your build menu?

[timber pine]

you can refine dihydro jelly into dihydro?

thats sick

[dark holly]

build or recipe menu (i can just cachepin it)
i asked modding already asw after tryna save edit and mod it in, above my weightclass unfortunately

[timber pine]

also, how do expeditions work? do i need to do anything during them? or do i just wait till they finish

[swift sand]

sometimes you might have events during expeditions that require your intervention/decision, but a lot of the times it just goes uneventfully for you, and you just get to debrief them when they get back to get the rewards

[timber pine]

ooh, all it takes is fuel? or do i need to get anything else for em

also, are any resources required to spawn the freighter?

or is it free

[swift sand]

summoning freighter is free, but you will eventually require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to summon it to non-yellow star systems. charging hyperdrive to warp using the freighter just requires warp cell/warp hypercore as usual.

[bright elbow]

Hi there people, is their a quicker way of transferring upgrades from old multi tool to new one?? Or do I need to do it one by one thanks in advance

[swift sand]

gotta do it 1 by 1

[upper hawk]

uh what do i do here?

[swift sand]

only has a use during the starbirth (living ship) quest

[mossy panther]

What sorta ship should i be looking to upgrade to from my starter ship?

[bright elbow]

Sad times thank you though

[tiny vortex]

what da hail???

bug or darkest planet known in universe????

[stone carbon]

I would recommend looking for a sentinel interceptor. they are extremely fast and they look awesome

[cerulean cairn]

How does it look in the fauna visor, usually the brightest?

[timber pine]

can you do multiple expeditions at once?

[cerulean cairn]

Looks chromatic

[swift sand]

yes, if you got multiple fleet command rooms built

[timber pine]

ah

btw how do i get more people to do these expeditions?

cus rn i only have 1

[swift sand]

that ... looks to be extremely dark - where are you? are you on foot? in ship? if on foot,is torch on?

[swift sand]

i'd suggest taking a look at <#nms-commands message> and the sublinks within as well

[cerulean cairn]

Everytime you seem a fleet in system usually 3-6 you can recruit

The green money sybol

But the Symbol won't appear until a certain distance from the fleet

[swift sand]

additionally, solar sail ships are cheap, have decent stats and inventory upgrade limits - could even build one using the fabricator. perhaps look into corvettes as well?

[mossy panther]

ooh that sounds fun

i've got around 21M

[swift sand]

more than enough to buy even a s-class solar

[mossy panther]

i'd like to start with the solar sail ship i suppose

[mossy panther]

from what ive heard, you get those at pirate stations right?

[swift sand]

they're more common in outlaw systems. have fun 🙂 anything else just ask

heh yeah

[mossy panther]

alright thank you so much

:)

[swift sand]

they can also appear in non outlaw, but are far more common in outlaw

[timber pine]

so i just need to wait till frigates spawn next to me

[cerulean cairn]

Class and Technology space are the two most important stats I think. The said solar one have the longest base hyper jumping distance and fast.

[mossy panther]

ooo

and they look hella cool too

[swift sand]

in short:

• either goto station, save+reload, fly out, wait for 2 fleets to spawn nearby, check frigates - rinse and repeat
• or do that, then pulse away from the fleets after you check them out, about 10s away, then exit pulse and brake, wait for the next fleets to spwn in.
• prefer low conflict and high economy tier systems

[timber pine]

how often and fast do they spawn?

[cerulean cairn]

Usually entering pulse, Space, will get some jumping in right near you after you exit

but depends on the economy of the system

[swift sand]

actually, it's explorer that has the largest hyperdrive range bonus out of all ships. that said, sentinel ship type comes with a different hyperdrive tech that by itself adds 600LY to base range, which largely surpasses any other ships "base" range. any s-class ship can be upgraded to 60 tech slots with storage augs/units. explorer is still gonna outwarp sentinel with a maxed out build though.

[storm otter]

Where do I post pirate freighters that I found?

[swift sand]

#explorers-archive works

[storm otter]

Ty

[swift sand]

but in the end, the differences between ships innate bonuses arent huge - even a explorer can two, even one shot enemy ships

sure, haulers still handle like drunk cows on ice, but that's the thing, they dont really have to be really maneuverable

[cerulean cairn]

They are just based on the number of times you jump and the local economy

[storm otter]

Not all of them. 20% of all pirate systems have them permanently without the need for multiple warps

[swift sand]

nah, 10% of t3 conflict and 20% of outlaw systems always trigger the pirate freighter rescue battle on every warp in, if pirate freighter spawn conditions are met

[timber pine]

a question, can i farm oxygen and sodium plants on my frighter?

[swift sand]

no

[timber pine]

oh.

[swift sand]

just build a o2 gas hotspot and a sodium hotspot mine on a planet

[timber pine]

i hoped i could

[timber pine]

how do i do that

[cerulean cairn]

Gotta have the mineral and/or the gas extractors then build a base with in 300 units of the hotspot

yeah, that's the basics on it but, we can actually expand the default build bubble of 300u around the base comp, up to 1000u in any direction, to get hotspots further away 🙂 @timber pine

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> How to expand the default base boundary

Note: Save+Reload within the base boundary, if expansion is not working.

1. Open the Build Menu near the Base Computer and select a base part. Make sure you edit the correct base on the part's info panel.
2. Walk away from the Base Computer until the Build Menu displays the Base Out of Range error (±300u).
3. Walk back until the error message disappears (inside base boundary).
4. Aiming towards your goal, place a 'building' part in front of you (each part expands ±50u). Decorations may not work to expand.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until you reach your goal, or reached maximal distance.

• Max expansion is ±1000u away from your Base Computer in any direction.
• A maximal distance of ±2000u can be covered with the base computer dead centre.

Image with text »
Did you know? After expanding, and completing the build, you can delete the parts used for the base boundary expansion.

this game is too hard😭

[swift sand]

no, just overwhelming

take it slow, disect infos you get into parts

as mentioned, the mineral farming guide in faq-units

follow that, look up a video if you have to - it will be much easier after you've actually unlocked the parts+survey device mt tech, and are actually able to start building things to test it

[timber pine]

OH my GOD you need to pay for frigates.?

[swift sand]

yeah. c-class frigates with less than 4 expeditions completed and low-ish fuel usage are good choices, cheap and they can even become stronger than natural s-class hires in the long run

[timber pine]

is there anywhere i can see what expeditions give?

i dont wanna waste all my money on them if i dont know what they do

[fresh birch]

The ROI for completing expeditions is well worth it, but when they fail it sucks

I know on longer ones I get lots of credits and materials

[timber pine]

would this be good to buy?

i have 2mil money

[swift sand]

nah pass

dont worry about fleet expeditions too much. you'll want to farm some units as well

[fresh birch]

Yeah, worry about fleet expeditions when you aren’t worrying about credits

[swift sand]

they can give stuff like storage augmentations, salvaged frigate modules, units, stacks of various materials, but yeah, you'll need a bit of investment first. units arent hard to make, there's lots of ways to. e.g. even just scanning fauna, buffed with s-class scanner modules, can be very rewarding

vile brood planets arent any more dangerous than non-vile brood planets. vile brood planets are the only planets you can find juicy grub in, and that's needed to spawn the field mini boss brood mother. defeating it has a chance to unlock character customization options

small question if i want to buy a tool how do i put upgrades from one to the other?

[swift sand]

spawning sac (inventory upgrade item) only from fleet expeditions with at least 1 living frigate assigned to them; prebuilt techs can drop from psychonic eggs, and upgrade modules from psy eggs or alien melody space encounter

[tranquil walrus]

You can not u make new one

[timber pine]

.??

[boreal cave]

@timber pine you store it from the one you want to switch from them you switch to new tool and add them

@swift sand and how do I get a living frigate?

[tranquil walrus]

Omg I've been destroying them lol I'm dumb

[swift sand]

to unlock the first of a character, run fleet expeditions till you unlock dream aerial, craft it, use it to get the first living frigate, then dump dream aerial and use anomaly detctors to get more. type !faq-livingfrigate in #nms-commands for more details

[timber pine]

when does the rifle in the space anomaly reset.?

[boreal cave]

Ok thank you

[lucid gate]

need to know more about this, why cut the name of the item?

[swift sand]

spawn anomaly in a diff system should do it

[timber pine]

thanks

[swift sand]

any non-core tech or upgrade module can be stored, but it was a jetpack upgrade module

[swift sand]

remember that you got 2 multitool cabinets in every regular space station 🙂

[timber pine]

wait theres 2?

wheres the second one

i know there is one on the second floor next to the vendors

[swift sand]

yeah, one on each side wall of the mt upgrade module shop. also see

[swift sand]

goto the opposite wall

[timber pine]

ah thanks!

ill kill some sentinnels for money cause why not

[swift sand]

salvaged glass that can drop, unpack it: it can drop sentinel upgrade modules. if you dont want to use them, sell them for nanites!

[timber pine]

thats cool!

i failed miserably

this is unfair

[calm wasp]

can i change this unstable in egg sequncer? All ressorces are unstable in Gene-splitter

can someone explain where the walker went.?

its very hard to see the red dot on it

also on the currently deployed sentinnel forces it literally says -1

[unique fjord]

Hi there, I've noticed there are websites with pre-made corvettes featuring cool designs. Is there a way to add them using a bot or something? I'm really bad at designing, so I'd like to know if that's true and if I can copy designs, etc...

[timber pine]

i think he is in a cave

[wheat cove]

It is under the ground - try digging with the terrain modifier

[timber pine]

i dont know what happened, i mined underground and he apeared, like if he was stuck underground and my mining freed it

i am worried though, how hard is the big 2 feeter to kill with a bolt caster

[wheat cove]

Yeah, it's a bug, unfortunately

[tepid dove]

so rn i have 4 ships, im pretty much in early game, should i sell ships that i dont use?

[vast mirage]

its doable, i killed that big sentinel with some basic tool and boltcaster

[timber pine]

i made myself a hole and im gonna try to kill it with the hole

[wheat cove]

Kill the armour on it's legs, it'll stop moving. Stun it with a paralysis mortar or the blaze javelin mod and it's just a sitting duck.

[swift sand]

you could equip a ship you dont use/like, then goto the starship outfitting terminal in the back of space stations, then salvage it either for units (actually items, upgrades), or (if it's a ship type that we can build with the fabricator) extract customization module. customization modules aka ship parts, can be used to build a ship of the same type (you'd also need a reactor, which sets the ship's starting class, and is obtainable from any ship upgrade module shop or from other rng sources like mission board rewards

[swift sand]

see https://nomansapp.com (it has a discord server, more specific questions about it should go in there)

[tepid dove]

no but like so i keep it or dismember/sell it

[swift sand]

right. we can have up to 12 active ships (in the quick menu), and another 18 archived once character owns a freighter (cant archive corvette ship type though)

you could also exchange one of those ships with a npc's ship that you like more/want to get - for some trade in value

[timber pine]

does he really only give me a brain

[swift sand]

2 actually, but yeah

[vast mirage]

thats what i received too. i think it will also tell you where the nearest <sentinel tower> is

[timber pine]

how do you get 2?

[swift sand]

first you interact with the head, then you mine the head

[timber pine]

oh well i mined it

so no brain for me

[swift sand]

that's fine, walker brain isn't going to be hard to come by

[timber pine]

are there any harder sentinnels then the walker?

[swift sand]

yeah, this too - if there is a sentinel pillar building in the system at least

[swift sand]

corrupted large spiders can be tough, kinda depends on how well equipped you are when you go up against them. in general, combat in nms isnt super hard

[timber pine]

jesus christ 4 exosuit upgrades

from 11 salvaged glass

[swift sand]

remember, can only have up to 3 upgrade modules of the same type installed at the same time. if you're low on nanites, consider selling them for nanites. also, there's a strategy to farm salvaged glass that some of us like to use: escalate to wanted level 3, and then hold it there, by leaving a summoner alive at all times, and killing off its buddies.

[upper hawk]

I recently built an agricultural facility of sorts on my freighter. When i interacted with the module, it said i need an agricultural expert from a gek controlled system. I'm at the space station of a gek system and how do i find one?

[swift sand]

hiring a base crew npc happens through their specific secondary quest. those trigger off expanding the base secondary quest, which is triggered by progress in ghosts in the machine

@upper hawk farmer's quest is agricultural research - double check if you got it in your mission Log

<:info:850810445577453658> Hiring Base Crew members

To recruit base crew NPC, their respective mission
provides markers after building their respective
terminals on a planetary base. The marker will either be:

• #1, In the current system; or
• #2, In a nearby system in the galaxy map.

It is strongly recommended to play quests in single
player, and to wait up to 10s after completing a
quest step:

• Multiplayer groups can interfere with markers
• The game requires time to calculate and display the
  next objectives to the player.

ok yeah no that was not smart

Apologies again, starting up after a few months now that i'm on summer break 😊

thanks for ur help gang

[swift sand]

if you got into the deeper mechanics, researching them, learning them; if you got addicted to exploring proc generation capabilities and limits across the board; if you visit every planet you see; if you like base building on scenery locations that you find no one else has yet; if you stick around to see what else the devs have in store next - you could easily be looking at thousands of hours

[swift sand]

nothing to apologize for, always feel free to ask whenever you're getting stuck/dont remember something/remember something but dont know if still good

[arctic ridge]

Am I correct in that attacking freighters will make you lose standing even in outlaw systems?

[swift sand]

correct yeah

it used to be that if you only attacked freighter cargo pods it wouldnt drop standing - but that has been long patched

[arctic ridge]

Damn it lol

[swift sand]

only difference in doing it in outlaw systems is that no space police spawns, and slightly different loot sets

e.g. illegal goods cant be found in non-outlaw

[arctic ridge]

Guess I'll just settle for selling contraband in regular systems

[swift sand]

yeah, definitely sell those there for more cash

@arctic ridge though tbh, standing is easy to get back these days; imo, especially so after your character has met the requirements to spawn pirate freighters, since then you'll be able to use the systems that always trigger the pirate freighter battle on every warp in: 5-8 (iirc? or was it 7 - anyway) standing points every "run" you manage to rescue npc freighter, which takes like 2minutes to do with some practice and a decent ship tech layout. alt, there's forged passport: item that you can use when you're in the negatives (possibly even hundreds in), it just restores standing back to neutral. lastly, you can raise your gek/korvax/vykeen standing above 100 standing points (min for max rank), way above. so iow, it's possible to first farm standing above that, then go commit x acts of piracy till standing is back at iow dropped to 100 points, farm some more standing, do more piracy in equal measure...

[arctic ridge]

I think I'm going to destroy my standing with Vy'keens and reset it with the Forged Passport

[swift sand]

I'm stuck on "The Space Anomaly" and "New Beginnings." I've spoken to Helios and Ares, and I've purchased technology and base parts. I can't figure out how to get the next quest so I can progress in the story to get to gas giants, etc. What am I missing?

[tulip dust]

@zenith mauve see post below:
-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

In short, no.

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

@zenith mauve after gunter's post above, if you havent completed the atlas path yet, now's probably a good time, as you probably already accumulated 50 journey milestones. type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands for more infos and details on how to trigger the other two main quests

[zenith mauve]

I do not have either of the last 2.

[tepid dove]

should i go in a black hole

does any1 win some pet champion battles? was your pets capped in lvl and abilities ?

[swift sand]

specific requirements to trigger them, cant start the last without all the other 3 being completed. please type the command mentioned in the mentioned channel

[swift sand]

nope, and i have managed to win quite a few now

[swift sand]

well, it's not going to damage your gear, it's more like a wormhole, that will just warp you far away from the current system. if you already visited the station of the current system, you could just teleport back after black hole warping

so up to you 🙂

[unique fjord]

What weapon do you recommend for the ship—the strongest one?

[unborn ridge]

I have seen a lot run the infa-knife, but you should choose what best fits your preference.

[swift sand]

agree with mayumme above; infra is really op, lots of players use it. also, atm anyway, with corvettes, phase beam is really op, because using 6 phase beam parts adds to damage, when normally only 3 count with other weapons, + the s-class modules from spce stations and the anomaly tech ofc. in any case, they're all good after upgrades and supercharged slots tbh.

infra knife - minigun, shreds them like butter, audioclips at really high fire rate;
positron ejector - shotgun, hits like a truck when close range
phase beam - beam laser, shield leeches
cyclotron ballista - amazing vs shields, prevents ships from boosting
photon cannon - who doesn't love a good blaster

[upper hawk]

I have a freighter. Is it still possible to get the pirate dreadnaught?

[swift sand]

yep. remember that pirate freighters can only start spawning after completing 2 rescue battle events in a save, and you own a freighter. pirate freighters are always free

[upper hawk]

Alr thanks. I didn't know that it was still possible to get them after u own a freighter. I thought it was only for the freighter-less.

I was debating switching my venator out but i'll only do that for a pirate dreadnaught. those things are fire

[limpid wolf]

For the xeno arena are you actually choosing moves and options each turn or just watching the pets fight

[upper hawk]

Also, is the frigate thing still buggy? like is it still recommended to do frigate related stuff in a new seperate save so as to not corrupt your main save

[swift sand]

the former

[limpid wolf]

Wow very cool

Haven’t played in a min but might have to try

[swift sand]

nah, it's fine, very low risk of something like that happening, unless you're like super unlucky and power goes out when saving to disk or something

[upper hawk]

wait i meant corvettes

[timber pine]

how does the class change multi tools? I just found An S tier multi tool

[swift sand]

corvettes are just regular ships; can have up to 12 corvettes in the quick menu, and we cant archive corvettes

[upper hawk]

Are they still buggy and do they still cause game breaks and whatnot?

[swift sand]

innate stat ranges, inventory upgrade limits and number of supercharged slots (may need to add more tech slots to reveal any missing ones)

[upper hawk]

The FAQ said so but i'm not sure how updated it is

[knotty frigate]

how come I don't see superconducting fibre in a scientific system?

[swift sand]

most of those bugs have been ironed out, especially if you're playing mostly solo. yeah, we're going to review that section of the faq soon again.

[knotty frigate]

how?

[timber pine]

jesus christ that unlicensed upgrade boosts fauna rewards 6000%

and minerals 5000%

[knotty frigate]

uninsured = unregulated

wink wink

[swift sand]

lots of usable slots, but only one supercharged already visible, out of the possible 4 at s-class. so that means you would need to add more tech slots to reveal the missing 3. i'd take the tool yeah, but before that, take a look at this image:

[swift sand]

you get a sentinel ship, sell it off to a npc, then run over to them and hire them into squadron (need to have unlocked squadron slots first)

[knotty frigate]

ohh

I had no idea

I feel like that could be done so much more easily if you could edit your squadron itself lol

[timber pine]

do i put my weapon in SC slot Or Do i keep the unlicensed scanner addon? Cus it gives me 6000% fauna and 5000% For minerals More Money

[swift sand]

you can change on the fly as needed

[timber pine]

oh right! I didnt think about that

[swift sand]

remember, supercharging rule of thumb, if weapons first core tech then modules, if not weapons just modules

[inland ermine]

Give them to your squadron pilots

It will sadly not change their performance, it's purely decorative

[timber pine]

im confused

[knotty frigate]

my corvette tends to solo against sentinels and pirates anyway

but thematically it'd be cool since my freighter is a sentinel one

[upper hawk]

dms rq bk, this is spoiler level stuff

[swift sand]

if you were going to supercharge boltcaster, or mining beam - and you had more than 1 supercharged slot to use - you first move the core tech in, the base tech, what actually allows you to use something in gameplay to a supercharged slot, as a priority. if you had them, and wanted to use more supercharged slots to buff e.g. boltcaster or mining beam, you'd then supercharge upgrade modules. upgrade modules that you buy from space stations for example

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

[knotty frigate]

they're that specific, the layouts?

[swift sand]

well, if you wanted to max out, yeah, you'd want something like that. that said, any layout works really to be able to cruise through the game - it's just that some are in nicer positions than others

[knotty frigate]

makes sense

[swift sand]

certainly, having them in adjacent slots, or close enough, at least a couple of them, is going to be a huge boon, regardless of what system you buff with them

[timber pine]

how can you get unlocensed modules faster?

not even faster, at all

the only time i got one Is from buying a multi tool

[swift sand]

unlicensed? you mean illegal? aka x-class modules?

[timber pine]

yeah the x ones

cus i want more

[swift sand]

1. they can be worse than C, to better than s-class
2. they can be easily obtained from outlaw stations: either bought from the black market upgrade module shop (offerings fixed per system), or by buying sus packets tech/arms from the contraband agent (with units), and unpacking them
3. i'd suggest having a s-class build going on before you decide sinking time into x-class modules

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Is X-class better, stronger than S-Class?

It can be. Put simply, S-class serves the "Install and forget, I'll get something OP anyway" approach, while X-class the "I want to max this out" approach but may take more time investment to get the "stronger than S-class" rolls.

Is there X-class gear?

No, S-class is the highest.

a small question i had though i looked at this, why does the only weapon that has sentinnel upgrade be the bolt caster?

cant all weapons get stuff from boltcaster

[swift sand]

sentinel weapon modules only buff boltcaster

[timber pine]

oh. well that sucks

[swift sand]

other weapons dont really need them 😄

[timber pine]

they dont.?

[swift sand]

nah, they're op enough anyway

whatever weapon you go with, i'd suggest having paralysis mortar and voltaic amplifier installed on the side

para mortar can be equipped side by side, shot with alt fire, and it is an aoe stun grenade

volt amp otoh, buffs damage dealt to stunned enemies by any weapon by 21%

[upper hawk]

based off of this, do i need to restart the starbirth quest? I kinda put it on hold for a bit. if so, i'll just use another void egg then

[tulip dust]

Open your inventory, and hover over the Void Egg: does its item card text description now mention "EUCLID" multiple times?

If it does, you will need the Portal glyphs unlocked (at least the first 12), to be able to progress this next stage of the quest. (related bot command: !faq-portalglyphs)

Can someone tell me why the bot is flagging this post? I don't really know what more info or words I could add that wouldn't be excessive. Here's the post:

The image has Glyphs too

[worldly sable]

What's the point of using a juicy grub? I killed the boss 3 times and it didn't seem to give anything

[errant lance]

Guy gave me a sh ton of stuff thats work hundreds of millions, is it best to not sell it until I played the game to the max to enjoy it?

[worldly sable]

Happened to me as well. I used the money to buy slots in my tool and my ship since it's hella expensive

[white shore]

Up to you. Mostly new to the game, but money is the one thing that very quickly stops being a problem. I'd probably end up selling the stuff just to keep my storage clean.

[errant lance]

how much what that?

[wet star]

Buying full slots for a low-grade tool and ship could easily run into the low billions.

[white shore]

Buying a corvette slot is like 70M in my game?

I think it used to be less in the beginning, but I guess it scales up the more you add?

[wet star]

It's largely based on how many slots you have already, in my observation. No idea if anything works differently for corvettes.

Probably just the same thing but it scales harder

[white shore]

Yeah... arguably, buying slots is not the most efficient way to get them, But I'll shut up now, because I don't know what's considered spoiler-y - I just found this discord 🙂

[wet star]

I know what you're saying and rest assured we don't consider it a spoiler to say that.

[white shore]

So, I've played the game for some 80 hours... I have not spent much time at the anomaly, but I don't think I've ever met another player yet. Is that normal?

[wet star]

The universe is big. Real big. Very very big. Not meeting people is normal.

[white shore]

I'm just wondering if I may have some issue with my game setup... I see other people's discoveries and bases, just not the other people themselves just yet 🙂

[wet star]

Again, maybe they're just not around when you visited.

Very big indeed.

[white shore]

OK, fair enough. Maybe I'll stick around at the anomaly for a bit.

[knotty frigate]

how do I find living frigates after the first time?

[wet star]

Also not everyone plays with multiplayer on in the first place

[wheat cove]

Which platform are you on, and which game mode?

[wet star]

Activate an Anomaly Detector and start pulsing. Do not drop out of pulse until you receive the whalesong signal.

[knotty frigate]

oh so I gotta keep it?

oh wait I'm thinking of the quest item

[wet star]

You don't need the Dream Aerial, if that's the question there.

[knotty frigate]

I need the actual anomaly detector

[wet star]

Only for the first one.

[knotty frigate]

do I get the anomally detector from a frigate expedition?

[white shore]

LOL, I was wondering what the "cosmic megafauna" the Dream Aerial mentioned was all about...

I think I'll wait a bit on that... get used to normal frigates before going all crazy

[shell spear]

Hey guys do yall like my small new pet :)

[supple pier]

Guys where can I get emeril and cadmium?

[bitter crypt]

emeril from planets in green star systems, and cadmium from planets in red star systems

[supple pier]

Thank u

[bitter crypt]

Sure thing!

[upper hawk]

is this the right chart for the monolith for starbirth?

[weary dagger]

I have 200+ hours and only one other player sighting, except at the center of the Euclid galaxy

It's really rare

[white shore]

OK, I'm nowhere near the center - getting distracted too easily 🙂

[weary dagger]

I actually used the anomaly to warp to someone else's center base with a pretty obvious name lol

Going there on your own takes AGES

[white shore]

I'm actually trying to move off the beaten path a bit, since I first spawned on a system that had been discovered by somebody else.

[weary dagger]

Oh cool

I lowkey got lucky cuz a system right next to mine had been discovered by someone else a week before I went to it

[white shore]

And some local landmarks have also had other visitors before me. One of the two outlaw systems I've visited was already discovered.

[weary dagger]

Whoa

You should look for someone's base nearby

You might have someone's spawn area

(If they're the same person)

[white shore]

I think it was not the same person... actually, I can check 🙂

huh... most of the systems in my visited list were not found by me... but I don't actually remember them. Some of them are Nexus missions, I guess.

[weary dagger]

Makes sense

Also the game has been around for 10 years

But it's still crazy just how many systems have been discovered

[white shore]

Yup, birthday pradox and all that...

also, I don't know how random that initial spawn systems actually are

[weary dagger]

Fair

[pastel light]

Do I have to craft a fishing rod, if so where to I unlock the recipie

[fresh birch]

Can sentinel modules be sold for nanites?

[weary dagger]

Yes, at technology merchants like with normal ones

[weary dagger]

Multi-tool research station in the anomaly

And yes

[full grotto]

This is a vr related question but is there a reload button for our multitools? I know they auto reload when the magazine empties and you can reload them in your wrist

[gaunt notch]

Ty

[weary dagger]

I just defeated a dreadnought. How do I destroy it, and is the bounty you get worth it?

[tepid berry]

anyone know why my corvette damage is so low

[weary dagger]

It needs upgrades

[unborn brook]

When you mark a planet in space ... does the mark always go on the equator or is it just me imagining that?

[weary yoke]

does anyone know if solar power actually works on gas giants? or do I have to use EM generators

[unborn brook]

pretty sure they do ... but only in day time.

[weary yoke]

ya im questioning if gas giants have a day

[unborn brook]

check the CLOCK in the visor

i think all planets have a day/night cycle.

[white shore]

Uh... you can build on gas giants? I'm not even sure I've seen a gas giant...

[weary yoke]

yuhp

from a late game quest

[unborn brook]

gas giants won't appear for you until you complete the full storyline.

[white shore]

ah, got time then 🙂

[unborn brook]

checkthe Faq-PurpleSystems in bot-spam

[white shore]

OK, 'vette refiners are OP.

[unborn brook]

did you find your figurines?

[midnight oracle]

Yes lol

[unborn brook]

It's strange they aren't all listed together ...

I couldn't see them at first either.

[midnight oracle]

Strange they aren't listed under "all items" lol

[subtle crown]

How good is "neutron cannons"? I see a fully upgraded neutron cannons on youtube with 170k damage at 4 SC slots. But it deals only 3.5k damage towards a sentinel robot (4 star).

While my blaze javelin with 3 SC slots deal 3.7k damage to that same robot, and if lucky, it can deal 14k damage.

What's the best neutron cannon feat ever shown in here?

[unborn brook]

I'm a neutron cannon fan.

I'm a blaze javelin fan for anything long distance.

[subtle crown]

For context, here is his build

And here is mine

[unborn brook]

To be honest I don't think it matters ... there is no way that any weapon does the damage listed in the weapon stats or mod stats. I think they cap it to keep you from one hit killing everything.

once you hit a certain threshold with mods most weapons do an ungodly amount of damage that never seems to be reflected properly when you hit a target ... they do however have unique hit patterns, and min/max distance ... so for me it boils down to the best all around hit pattern, which seems to be neutron cannon close, and blaze javelin for distance.

[subtle crown]

I see, fair enough.

[unborn brook]

also in the top example all SC slots are adjacent so you get more ... techinically.

[subtle crown]

Yeah, he got 165k damage, I got only 1.8k damage so the gap is wide

But in downrange, apparently it's not that far off haha

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqXgQDuBzps

This is his video

My blaze javelin does 3.7k damage, and on rare occasions, it does 14k damage

[half stone]

So I'm new to harmonic camps and farming sentinel ships. I've noticed if I'm on the same planet, all the ships look the same. Is the planet a factor?? Or am I just unlucky lmao

[subtle crown]

Yeah it is

https://nmsint.vercel.app/

[half stone]

Ahhhh I see

Thanks

[wet star]

To elaborate, all the interceptors across the same star system will look the same. Go somewhere else entirely if you don't like the current crop.

[buoyant terrace]

Does anyone have a paradise planet that looks like this?

So

purple ground

and rings

[wicked lintel]

Is there a way to find planets with large creatures easier? or no

[hushed socket]

i wouldnt worry about finding them naturally large since you can make them larger woth gene sequencer. id focus on just finding a creature you like the model of

[bitter crypt]

Not really

No

[stuck berry]

A few!

[lethal grotto]

yo

i found a green paradis planet

looks kinda good tho not too bad tbh

[winter latch]

Can someone help me with a niche issue?

So I was buying this new ship and I can't find the cargo from my old ship on the new ship

I clicked on all the items using "quick transfer" but they're not here

I have a video but I can't post it

[stuck berry]

That is very strange, and you chose to exchange your old ship for this new ship?

[winter latch]

Yeah it'st titled the Tonic of Imperfection

[stuck berry]

then there might not be a way to get those items back unfortunately, if the items aren't in any of your ships

if you can't find them at all, you could report this issue to Hello Games but it probably wouldn't result in you getting your items back, just the issue fixed

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

[winter latch]

I've lost a few hours progress but that's fine, most of my important stuff is in my suit

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

[stuck berry]

Possibly avoid using the "transfer cargo stuff from your old ship to your new ship" system I guess. One possibility is that you backed out of the menu and then went back in to claim/buy the ship, which would have sent everything back to your old ship

[winter latch]

Where can I find storage preceding the ship exchange?

other than my exosuit

[gentle glacier]

To get a pirate dreadnought event to spawn, do you need to have played for 3 hours straight before warping?

[stuck berry]

You can build a Storage Container at your base once you have the blueprint for that. The secondary missions "Base Computer Archives" and "Expanding the Base" give you some or all of their blueprints respectively, though the latter requires a bit of progress through the main story

[winter latch]

you've been very helpful, thank you

[stuck berry]

For most systems, yes, they follow the standard cooldown. For 20% of Outlaw Systems and 10% of High-Conflict Systems, no, they skip the cooldown and spawn one every time they're warped to via starship

[gentle glacier]

2 more questions,

do your warps have to be to undiscovered system or can you warp to a previously visited system?

do you need to have your own freighter for the event to occur?

[stuck berry]

Warps can be to any system at all, it just counts warps since your last battle, if 5 or more then that part is satisfied. The other part of the cooldown is 3 hours of cumulative unpaused gameplay time since your last battle. Once both are reached, your next warp to any inhabited, non-black hole non-atlas interface system triggers a battle.

To be able to encounter Pirate Dreadnought Events, you must both own a freighter, and have encountered at least 2 freighter battles so far

[gentle glacier]

are the freighter battles a 20% chance regardless of 3 hour cooldown in outlaw systems?

[stuck berry]

Only Pirate Dreadnought Events follow that, and it's 20% of Outlaw Systems, not a 20% chance

If you don't qualify for Pirate Dreadnought Events to occur yet, you can't make use of that way to skip the cooldown

[subtle crown]

As in every 5 outlaw systems, there is 1 system that is always fighting.

So whenever you warp to that system, you're caught in a rescue event.

[gentle glacier]

mmm oki :3

[main lotus]

I'm having trouble shrinking my companion via the egg sequencer. Materials that supposedly shrink it instead grow it to its max size. I'm aware of minimum size caps on certain fauna but afaik mine is not the smallest & the egg tooltip categorizes it as 'average size'.

Before and after using any material

[pastel light]

Best way to get pirate transponders or whatever the item you get from pirate ships are called

[main lotus]

I also tried using the minimum amount of material, thinking that too much would make it grow instead of shrink, but even adding one of anything yielded the same result.

[knotty frigate]

am I gonna find a harmonic camp using the polyphonic core?

[stuck berry]

Kill pirates. You can sometimes see mission board missions to hunt pirates that have you go out and fight them

[stuck berry]

Not always, no. Locating a Harmonic Camp directly is better to do via an Echo Locator
The Polyphonic Core is meant for locating Autophage Camps

[pastel light]

Is there a way I can trigger pirates to show up without accepting mission

[stuck berry]

Be in space for a long time in high conflict systems

[knotty frigate]

huh, I guess on a non dissonant planet it won't work I guess

[stuck berry]

Yes, Harmonic Camps are not found on non-dissonant worlds

Autophage Camps however are on every inhabited world

[errant flame]

whats the best way to find a portal on a planet nowadays, i went through 13 planetary map things and still cant find one been quite a while since ive been having to look for one so im not sure if the method has changed or if theres a better one

[stuck berry]

!faq-portal @errant flame

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

1. Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
2. Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
3. Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

• Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
• To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
  • Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
• A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image )
• For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.
  

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

there aren't any charts that directly locate a portal

you must locate a monolith, then answer it's vision correctly, then interact again and offer a local race relic (Gek Relic, Korvax Casing or Vy'keen Dagger) to locate a portal

To locate a monolith, spam 3 alien charts, don't visit the incorrect structures

[pastel light]

Is the vr game a seprate version or is it just combined with the steam version

[stuck berry]

to get a race relic, buy from landed pilots at trade outposts or aboard freighters

[stuck berry]

same game install

just a different boot option

[pastel light]

So yes?

Wait

[stuck berry]

it's included with the Steam release

[pastel light]

I just confused myself

[errant flame]

thankyou!

[pastel light]

Is there a way to guarantee the mission board of a new system I go to has an exosuit upgrade thing as a reward?

[lyric sundial]

Anyone here know how to use No mans sky editor

[drifting tapir]

If i have multiple of the same module on my suit do they stack?

Like movement upgrades

They glow yellow beside each other-

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can have multiple of the same type of upgrade installed at a time, up to 3

attempting to install more than 3 will make all of them overload and stop giving stats until you remove one

blueprint technology does not count towards this limit

[stuck berry]

That is the effect of an adjacency bonus, aka the bonus tech gets when similar tech is touching one of it's sides

[drifting tapir]

Life support upgrades dont seem to glow yellow-

[stuck berry]

tech gets about a 6% boost for each side it's being touched by similar tech

[stuck berry]

Yes, each type of tech has a different border color when made adjacent

[midnight oracle]

Does the hazard protection unit base building even work? Lol its powered but not recharging any of my systems

[stuck berry]

It works but is quite useless as being indoors already recharges hazard protection

it must be attached to a structure that itself is powered, like any of the prefab rooms

[midnight oracle]

@stuck berry oh so it doesnt recharge my thermal protection upgrade modules?

[stuck berry]

Correct, that is not your Hazard Protection meter

It only recharges your main hazard protection meter

not the rechargeable upgrades that provide full immunity

[midnight oracle]

Got it. Ty

[mellow thorn]

can anyone help me find a freighter

[stuck berry]

In what way, like one to get? Just progress the main story, you will be offered a free one eventually if Options > Difficulty > Space combat =/= None

[buoyant terrace]

I found the "Inescapable toxins" weather on a paradise planet, is that normal?

[stuck berry]

Yes https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Weather#Lush

A name for "bubble weather", which guarantees the lack of storms unless extreme

[buoyant terrace]

I just landed on it and got the "strongest reality distortion" achivment. But how? its a paradise planet

[stuck berry]

Bubble weather

[buoyant terrace]

ohh

[stuck berry]

this is completely normal, bubble weather gives it the ability to have a high "strongest reality distortion"

as that detection of weird worlds is probably tied to weather

[knotty frigate]

I'll take bubble weather or gravity any day

over the extreme storm planets

I still haven't found a gas giant

[stuck berry]

Well they're not rare at all, their presence is shown on the galaxy map

anyone know how to find captains log on the derelict freighters? i have all zones mapped, manifest covered and engineering unit salvaged but i cant get the captains log ive re run through it a couple times and im not sure what im missing

[stuck berry]

I believe it's given from getting the credentials for one of the crew members from the datapads hanging around, then interacting with the second main terminal

[errant flame]

il run back through and make sure i get em all couldve sworn i got em, im currently at the records terminal where i got it on the last freighter but this time it only lets me click the leave option and its the only option that shows up

@stuck berry sorry for ping, settlement i asked about the other day

em i doing something clearly wrong?

[stuck berry]

no

[marsh root]

how to get a freighter?

[dusk river]

get everything to B or A class is a valid strategy or not really? remember what you said about constant upgrading

[stuck berry]

Progress the main story to eventually get your free one. If you're in creative mode, set Options > Difficulty > Space Combat to anything except None

[stuck berry]

Do you need help related to this image?

[marsh root]

okk thx

idk what that emiril drive is

[stuck berry]

A technology blueprint that can be unlocked at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly. It is required to reach green star systems.

[marsh root]

oh

okk

thx

[stuck berry]

It's installation requires Cadmium, which is from Red Star Systems, which themselves require the Cadmium Drive to reach. The Cadmium Drive's blueprint is unlocked in the same place, and it only requires Chromatic Metal to install

[sour cape]

Ive been trying tò get a pirate dreadnought for a while now, but i cant get them tò spawn. I have a freighter, my world has more than 3h playtime on It, and i warped back and Forth tò this system i saw this youtuber Say that It has a guaranteed dreadnought fight spawn.
The only thing that comes tò mind Is that my world Is in "creative" mode, does that affect the spawn?

[stuck berry]

Have you ever encountered a freighter battle before?

Oh, on Creative, Space Combat is by default set to None

[sour cape]

Nope, thats weird

[stuck berry]

set that to anything except None

[sour cape]

Ohhhhh

[stuck berry]

This is due to Space Combat being set to None

[marsh root]

what is an atlass pass v2?

[stuck berry]

Note that to encounter pirate dreadnoughts, you will also need to have encountered two freighter battles so far, so set Space combat to anything but none and keep playing the game until you've encountered two battles so far

[sour cape]

Alright thanks

[stuck berry]

An item required to unlock some doorways and stuff. You can unlock it's blueprint at the Synthesis Laboratory aboard the Space Anomaly, and once crafted it can be used an endless amount of times

[marsh root]

okk

[stuck berry]

Note that the higher tier AtlasPasses substitute for the lower ones' functions

[steady trench]

can i upgrade freighter to another class

i always find pirate freighter class , i want at least but its hard

yes, im warping between pirate systems

[stuck berry]

No, you cannot increase an owned freighter's class

basically just keep encountering them, each time they're encountered they reroll their class with chances based on local system economy tier

[steady trench]

should be an option to upgrade them for idk 100k nanites

like normal ships

[steady trench]

100% / 5% = 35% so i have to travel 35 galaxies to find S class ok thx

[stuck berry]

That is not how probability works, it's a 1/20 chance for S-Class

also, you only need to warp between star systems, not galaxies

[steady trench]

I mean 100 / 5 = 20 not 35 😭😭🙏🙏

[analog solstice]

Have large landship type things ever been talked about when it comes to no mans sky? Like mobile land bases? Just curious, obviously the corvettes kinda remove the necessitie of a mobile land base, just curious if anyone has any info on this subject

was a super annoying bug

Quality of Life: Summoning exocrafts via on foot Quick Menu

• Requirement: At one of your bases, build all the exocraft geobays you want to have for later use. They can't be built on the freighter base, other than that pick any base you like.

Then, in the future, when on any planet in the universe, the actual summoning part is done using one of these methods:

a) Build the portable Exocraft Summoning Station on the current planet, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s), delete Exocraft Summoning Station.

b) Build the Orbital Exocraft Materializer freighter room, summon freighter to current system, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s).

c) Install Exocraft Summoning Unit exosuit tech, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s). Requires access to purple star systems.
