You can have an endless amount of bases per planet, but only one of them can be uploaded at a time

uploaded bases will appear for other players when you are away, and will load significantly faster for others

[pastel light]

ah

the reason i was asking was cause i kinda wanted to make a bunch of bases just for storage so i could access it in my freighter or corvette

[obsidian nova]

Storage Containers are universal, no matter where you build them

[hot birch]

At that point, just build the storage rooms in your freighter

[hot birch]

• matter beam

I forgot about that part

[leaden glacier]

When I was farming void motes I used my exocraft scanner to find drop pods. Usually it would lead me to 1-3 per planet before it would continuously point me to the drop pod I was right next to. But then I found a planet where it kept taking me to a new drop pod. In 2 sessions I've found probably 75 drop pods. Did I find a unique planet or is that fairly normal?

[stuck berry]

Kinda, it's weird. Using your Polyphonic Core instead should always point you to new Autophage Camps

Also note that Autophage missions can be turned in to the mission agent aboard space stations

[leaden glacier]

Id had times where it'd send me to 1 camp, then another, and then back to the first camp.

[ruby fjord]

How do i trugger the autophage quests? Wiki says i need a trace of metal and artemis path but i dont have either

[hot stirrup]

Im getting a bug where I cant build a corvette how do I fix it? game thinks im on my freighter and I cant dismiss the freighter

jumping to a new system doesnt work

[stuck berry]

A Trace of Metal is not required for that mission to begin. The Artemis Path is the main story, you begin the game with it in your log, it has this icon below
See this page https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems#They_Who_Returned for a more direct/up-to-date guide

[stuck berry]

So teleporting to a different space station doesn't work either?

[hot stirrup]

I can try, I tried orbital Uplink but also didnt work hold on

it also despawns my corvette when I try to open the menu

it worked ty

[ruby fjord]

Im at new beginnings

[stuck berry]

Then you have finished The Artemis Path

Have you unlocked the Aeron Turbojet backpack customization option?

[ruby fjord]

Nope, or at least i didnt get a notification, ill go check

[ruby fjord]

No i dont have it

[stuck berry]

Then go lift the seal of a Harmonic Camp for the first time
https://nomanssky.miraheze.org/wiki/Purple_Star_Systems#They_Who_Returned

Basically, go locate a dissonant world, shoot dissonance resonators until one gives you an Echo Locator, then use it and go to the Harmonic Camp and complete it's puzzle

[ruby fjord]

Thank you sir

[brave quartz]

Are there any melee weapons for the monitor

[stuck berry]

No

[brave quartz]

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

[brave quartz]

I can barely aim with these weapons

For the monitor

[stuck berry]

Then use one that requires less aiming, like the Scatter Blaster or the Neutron Cannon

[brave quartz]

Ok

Also is there a walker version of the disoncence sentinals

[stuck berry]

No, just the large Corrupted Sentinel Quadrupeds

[brave quartz]

Do you get the atlas staff with the atlas path mission

[stuck berry]

No, you got it from Expedition 12: Omega which cannot normally be done anymore aside from unofficial means on PC #nms-questions message

[brave quartz]

Oh

Ok

How do you find mechanical creatures in planets

Or is there another way to get them

[stuck berry]

10% of worlds in Uncharted Systems have them

[brave quartz]

Ok

[stuck berry]

Those that have them will have a fauna reading of "Synthetic" and only have 3-4 fauna species

[brave quartz]

Ok

[stuck berry]

Uncharted systems are the systems that lack all data, as well as lack space stations and all other structures except for Portals

[brave quartz]

What is the biggest possible creture you can find

[stuck berry]

One that shows as 8.4 "meters" tall I believe, which is very rare

and only a few creature types can reach sizes like that

[ashen kayak]

does the general region of the planet matter for creature spawns or anything can spawn anywhere

this rare flying is tormenting me

[stuck berry]

Anything can spawn anywhere, unless specified (like "found in north")

[ashen kayak]

i see then im just unlucky ty

at least while at it i found a random korvax that suddenly landed with his ship in the middle of nowhere

and he was selling a whole selection of banned upgrades

a good time to have 10k nanites

[unique hare]

Hi, I found this dissonant planet and there are these items. Are these decoration items you can use in base building? Never seen these before are there more variatons of these collectibles on other planets?

[tropic ginkgo]

yes, decorations, one type per each weird/exotic biome

[unique hare]

oh that's cool! Thanks 😉

[hot stirrup]

can someone post the most recent save editor download link please?

[stuck berry]

There are multiple save editors
https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSE
https://github.com/zencq/NomNom

[hot stirrup]

I tried nomnom but it doesnt like to work for me

Grouch, do you ever play the game or do you litteraly just sit in the server for hours in a day?

[stuck berry]

Yeah I just do that I never play games I don't even own a computer

[hot stirrup]

Rip :< missing out on the rp Im in :<

then why do you have 4.5k h ingame?

[gray shoal]

Can confirm. Never saw u own any computer

[tropic ginkgo]

flew right over your head, that one

[hot stirrup]

hmm?

[vale mountain]

returning player, how do I bring up my objectives again? Not in the menu but while playing

[stuck berry]

Press H or left on D-Pad

[vale mountain]

got it thx

[tidal blaze]

I've found two species of abnormally tall walking building species on different planets. Ironically, on each of those planets the other walking building species is tiny (0.6m)

[vale mountain]

Aren't support frigates supposed to reduce fuel required for expeditions? Adding one to my expedition increased fuel requirement by 50

[arctic ridge]

Is it true that there's a 400 base limit per save? If so, I was wondering if you guys knew any way of getting around this limitation so you can continue tagging locations of interest. I thought about Save Beacons, but they cannot be renamed

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can only have 400 bases per save. This cannot be circumvented

at best, you could save screenshots with portal coordinates in the lower left and latitude/longitude from the analysis visor

[vale mountain]

So I'm on the space anomaly and I can't access my ship cause of an invisible barrier, I assume another player's ship

[stuck berry]

Either disable multiplayer or reload a save to solve this

[vale mountain]

nvm I disabled multiplayer

thx

[vale mountain]

random question, what are your thoughts on the holo arena update

[stuck berry]

a neat background update that we will appreciate in the long term, but inobservable if you don't like the holo area system

and the implementation of fauna stat classes is a little annoying, with triple S-Class creatures being hilariously rare, and how we can't increase the class of existing creatures

accepting that triple S creatures aren't necessary is fine, outside of the pvp battles where using coordinates to find ones others have documented may feel necessary

it's a bit janky and not too much thought put into it, but it's better that it exists than it not existing. One thing that had a decent amount of thought put into it is the procedural stat variation itself, it being based on speciesseed was smart to avoid just save editing that easily even though people have prolly circumvented that with hours of brute force/trial and error

Also, the update itself is the 3rd "minor" update in a row, which is a first since like Worlds Part I

[vale mountain]

speciesseed?

as in the class of creature

[stuck berry]

The stat variance is based on a seed, so you can't just set values to S

the overall class of the creature is a gathering of it's stat classes' average

[vale mountain]

If I defeat a challenger, can I beat them again for the same rewards

or do I need to plot a route to a new one

[stuck berry]

I don't think so, I think you have to use the thing to locate another challenger

[vale mountain]

ok
also what is "dispelled"?

[stuck berry]

gets rid of

[vale mountain]

meaning?

[stuck berry]

This means that if the creature uses an ability to cleanse itself of negative debuffs, it will damage them

[vale mountain]

ah

[vale mountain]

I did get some rewards, but less

it was also a bit harder

[humble pendant]

You can travel to another galaxy with portals right? Or are the glyphs specific to the galaxy you’re in?

[stuck berry]

Portals are not intergalactic. The glyph coordinate system is fundamentally intragalactic

It's like trying to use latitude and longitude on Earth to reach a position on Mars

[humble pendant]

Aaahhhh that does make sense

[deep pier]

best place to sell a statis device?

found a +7.2

[gray shoal]

Any above +5 is good. Prices dont fluctuate that much without market manipulation.

Juat sell to npc so wont crash the market.

[ashen kayak]

i trust.. when it says "found in the north" it means it this way right ?

[crimson owl]

Generally, yes.

[stuck berry]

Possibly. It would be more accurate to check your Latitude

You can do this by using the Analysis Visor, or looking at the screen in your starship's cockpit

If your latitude is greater than 0, then you are on the northern hemisphere

[ashen kayak]

if latitude is the first number...

[stuck berry]

It is the first number

[ashen kayak]

also gotta love this planet being called temperate when half the time its under extreme storm

[stuck berry]

That is normal for worlds that list activated stellar metals

[wet star]

What am I looking at, here?

[marsh root]

im not allowed to add a photo in the trading channel

[wet star]

You're not allowed to here, either, unless you're doing it to illustrate your problem.

Which you don't seem to have.

[marsh root]

a

ok

sry

[twilit wing]

What can i do now if the quest is saying
The Void Egg seeks a specific world
Examie the egg in the Inventory to learn of its requirements
Unconventional travel may be required

[wet star]

||You're being given a portal glyph address. Check the egg's item description for clues.||

If you're stuck, you could always look it up. The solution is the same for all players.

[stuck berry]

Then send images to #nms-media and link them where you wish

[marsh root]

k

[twilit wing]

What should I do with the glyphs, like the hunter and so on, how do I continue the quest?

[stuck berry]

Type them into a Portal that is in Euclid Galaxy

!faq-portal

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

If you have not yet unlocked 12 of the 16 Portal Glyphs, then go do that first #nms-commands message

[dusk river]

if i edit corvete what happens to stuff inside? storage stays i believe, what about interior modules?

[stuck berry]

Interior modules are destroyed if the habs they are inside of are deleted or moved

[twilit wing]

I found the portal but i cant use it, i want to become the living ship now, is there any way that i dont need to play the whole main story and how can i know that i have 12 glyphes?

[stuck berry]

Catalogue & Guide > Collected Knowledge > The Atlas > Portal Glyphs

[twilit wing]

i have no glyphes....

[ashen kayak]

this rare underwater found in the north creature has tormented me more than rare undergrounds

its a world full of shallow lakes

i hope depth doesnt play a role

[stuck berry]

The easiest way to get all of them is from the main story #nms-commands message

[dusk river]

so i should remove them before to not loose recources?

[stuck berry]

If you are going to move around or remove those habs, possibly

[blazing tusk]

Rare underwater fauna typically do require deep water. It's likely an eel/whale/shark species

If there truly aren't any bodies of water deeper than 50u, you might be able to trick the game by using the terrain manipulator

[swift sand]

if system is inhabited, what i usually rely on for finding deeper areas is nautilon's sonar - scan for sunken buildings, often in deeper areas.

[blazing tusk]

It works for find deep water catches with the fishing rod at least

[twilit wing]

i have 3 main quests, which is the best Atlas, Anomaly or Patterns in time?

[stuck berry]

"The best"? Do you mean which of those is the main story? That would be Patterns in Time #nms-commands message

[twilit wing]

I traveld to 10 water systems and none of them was good enough for the quest

[stuck berry]

What does the mission say in the lower right when tracked?

[twilit wing]

Retrieve non-existent data from an anomalous structure
Search for a water system in the Galaxy Map

[stuck berry]

It may be directing you to a specific system. Go to any teleporter and check if the first destination says "closer to mission"

[ashen kayak]

i definitely dont have that yet welp

[twilit wing]

how many hours will i need to get 12 glyphes

[stuck berry]

Probably not more than 2

you are a mission and a half away from the step that gives them

and that one mission is really a lot of talking

[twilit wing]

Ok i thinked i need 2 days to get 8

[frigid wadi]

no, the glyphs unlock when you get to the mission telling you to head towards the core. However, the mission text is a lie. You actually just need to jump in any direction 16 times, and each time you'll unlock a glyph

[twilit wing]

so just warp 12 times and i can become an living ship?

[frigid wadi]

the living ship questline is entirely separate from the main one

[twilit wing]

just move with the mouse to another system or am i needed to go with my ship?

[stuck berry]

It is not possible to warp to another system without using your ship

[twilit wing]

with the portal?

[stuck berry]

I'm not sure what you're referring to anymore

Traveling through a Portal and using a Teleporter both do not count as warping

[twilit wing]

i warped 3 times and i have no glyphes, am i need to do anything befor i warp?

[hushed socket]

Go to the galaxy map in space and choose a system to warp to once you have the quest

[ashen kayak]

in my logic if i can encounter an abyssal horror then i should be at a suitable depth (waters are still kinda shallow tho)

[dreamy bear]

I would like to know something

Why am I suddenly getting multiple cargo scans when I'm exploring? It's like each time I take off from a planet I get a sentinel cargo scan

I have the deflector installed but it's just annoying having the alarms sounding and red flashing lights each time I get into my ship

[twilit wing]

how many hours do i normaly need to play the whole main story, get an squid and an S freigther?

[stuck berry]

Those latter things can vary wildly, but the main story can take between like 5-30 hours depending on how much you focus on it

Class chances are randomized on things spawning in, so landing on 20 freighters in outlaw systems is not very difficult

Squid ships make up 1/20 of all exotic ship designs, and exotic ships have a 1 in 301 chance to spawn as any ship spawn flying around, so that could vary between dozens and hundreds of hours

[twilit wing]

bruh i thinked i need to go to rich systems and not to outlaw, i wasted 8 hours to find this stupid S freighter

[stuck berry]

unless you use coordinates documented by other players of course

[stuck berry]

You might have contraband in your starship's cargo inventory

[dreamy bear]

I don't tho. Only thing I can think of is the plants I've picked up but it's not Nip Nip or contraband. Seriously it's like they're cops and pulling me over for DWB

[heady lagoon]

Is someone able to gift expedition rewards?

[surreal wadi]

so I was flying and I came across this, anyone knows what this is and if I can interact with it in any way?

[errant grail]

hey i just got a metaidea membership but the requests aint showing up must i wait a bit refresh it or what?

nvm

just needed to login lol

[swift sand]

gentle note, questions about the service bot are to be addressed to its home discord server, we dont support it

[swift sand]

you could get corvette parts, ships (except iron vulture) and companion eggs from other players

[swift sand]

nah, just for flavor - ones you can board will have landing pads - type !faq-derelicts in #nms-commands for more infos

[wanton ridge]

Hi, new player here, i've found a couple of spaceships that are class C and are badly damaged. Do i need to repair them to sell them ? and is it worth it to do so if i can sell them still "broken" ?

[paper timber]

which one is the iron vulture?

[paper timber]

only pulse drive and launch thruster is needed to fly back to a space station to repair

and sell^^

[swift sand]

the expedition13 reward, the hauler, the only hauler that can hover inside atmos (well, any hauler built with iron vulture wings also gains that ability)

[wanton ridge]

So it will be the same value ?

[swift sand]

scrap value is less than what the visor says it's worth, but what bumps up the value is the number of usable cargo slots

just fixing a couple techs wont bump its value, but those two are all that you need to for example either fly it to the station, or on foot quick menu spawn it there

[wanton ridge]

Oh ok ok i see, and also, since it's only class C ships it's pointless to recover specific parts of the ships to build a new one ?

[swift sand]

ship class wont affect the part you might get from a ship, or its stats, the (starting) class of the ship you will build is set by the reactor component you will have. at the fabricator, we can only build fighter, explorer, hauler and solar sail.

[wanton ridge]

Alright okey i understand, thx a lot !

[swift sand]

anything else comes up, always feel free to ask 🙂 have fun!

[wanton ridge]

Won't hesitate haha, the game is a bit hard to understand fully 😅

[swift sand]

overwhelming, yeah, dont worry, no need to rush, a bit at a time 🙂

[vernal fiber]

Does the blue system usually crash the game?

[stuck berry]

no

[vernal fiber]

Well, this one is weird, I'm just gonna get out

[supple goblet]

Hi, may i ask, what do trait do in xeno arena, like helpfulness, gentleness and independent trait of pets. Ty

[wanton ridge]

I am on a planet with lots of water for a mission where i have to build the submarine, it tells me to find salt but i can't find any mineral with salt in it and i got 5 from digging the ground at random ? Am i missing something ?

[swift sand]

those stats affect the bonus moves, and how often our pets use them:

helpfulness (+strength)/playfulness (+evasion)
gentleness (-enemy strength)/aggression (damage over time to enemy)
independence (-enemy accuracy)/devotion (healing)

it seems that in order to get the pet to trigger its bonus move more often, e.g. -enemy accuracy, you'd want to have a pet at 100% independence and 0% on helpfulness/playfulness and gentleness/aggression

[swift sand]

all it really matters is just obtaining the salt yeah, but there should be like plants or minerals with it underwater yeah

[supple goblet]

Oh nice, oki, may i ask, how to increase or change this? Ty

[swift sand]

using the egg sequencer neural calibrator - there's a few pinned posts in #nms-fauna with materials you can use. e.g. if a pet is now 100% devoted, you'd have to use a material that increases independence, and keep modifying it multiple times till it drops to 0% devotion, and beyond, till 100% independence, the opposite end of the scale

[supple goblet]

Oh, the egg machine in anomaly, right? Oki ty bro, have a nice day

:3

[swift sand]

yep, that one 🙂 thank you, right back at you 🙂

[dusk river]

what is like meta for starship combat?

my guess is 1 weapon against shields and then something against hull

cyclotron and infraknife?

[swift sand]

there really isnt a meta tbh, all weapons are good with a decent build on. that said, for example, with enough fire rate, infra knife will melt through anything, shields or hull alike

some players like to have 1-2 weapons, others just 1

[dusk river]

phase beam against shields with bonus to recharge

[swift sand]

these days i mostly run photon/sentinel cannon+phase beam for leeching

[dusk river]

might end up with 4 because cant remove photon lol

[swift sand]

should be able to once you have another core tech weapon installed, unless this is a corvette

[mental kite]

best tips to get more corvette modules?

rather than buying/trading if there is another way

[stuck berry]

of course, salvaging from salvage containers

this is the primary way of obtaining corvette modules

also, you can only use found modules to trade, can't use bought ones

[mental kite]

advanced corvette modules included?

[stuck berry]

yes, all non-buying sources are the advanced selection

which is just All The Parts

[mental kite]

alright thank you appreciate it

[mental kite]

what do you mean with can't use bought ones?

[stuck berry]

you can't use the "basic" selection of modules to trade

[mental kite]

ohh alright 👍

[hearty mango]

hi,i bought the blueprints for the oxygen harvester off the anomly but i cant find it when i press Z and look in "deployable technology".i went back to the main menu and laoded my save and still cant find it,i went and bought a save beacon blueprint,the save beacon popped up but the oxygen harvester isnt there.what do i do?

[analog scroll]

It's in one of the other tabs in the base build menu

[stuck berry]

Oxygen Harvesters are not deployable technology, only Atmosphere Harvesters are I think

[hearty mango]

ah yes ive found it now thank you both

[delicate mauve]

Could anyone help me pls im new

[swift sand]

ask away 🙂

[delicate mauve]

Um what I do

Nvm

[swift sand]

@delicate mauve always feel free to ask, take your time, game can be quite overwhelming. be patient when progressing quests/missions, wait and keep observing the screen after completing a quest/mission stage. tooltips lower right of the screen can be forced to cycle by spam pressing H or dpad left

[delicate mauve]

K How can I get better ships?

[swift sand]

higher class ships you mean? the class that drops is randomized and influenced by system economy tier, which means that it's a matter of rng. have you unlocked access to the space station(s)?

[delicate mauve]

No I’m on some random planet and it’s telling me to make a base

I mean first question yes

Second no

@swift sand

[swift sand]

yeah, best to just follow that for a bit now - we can have up to 400 bases per save, and the first base really doesnt have to be pretty, just have one so that the game can use it for early game quests

[swift sand]

yeah just keep progressing early game quests/tutorials

game hasnt opened up yet

[delicate mauve]

K it’s also asking to make some portal thing

[swift sand]

not a time to be thinking about getting new gear yet

[swift sand]

a teleporter yeah

[delicate mauve]

K

What is it used for

[swift sand]

it will want you to go farm salvaged data basically

[delicate mauve]

K ty

[swift sand]

quickly returning to visited locations (mostly space stations) and bases

[delicate mauve]

K tysm and finally (I think) what are space stations and do people make groups who make bases and stuff together like clans?

[mental kite]

I traded for a corvette module, the offer got accepted but i didn't receive it

[swift sand]

space stations are places in the game that will have lots of useful facilities and shops - e.g. buying upgrade modules to upgrade your exosuit/ship/multitool. npcs can spawn there as well. yeah, there are player communities, sorta like clans, but no in depth support for that in game. check out #1418605454300549120 for example

[delicate mauve]

K tyms bro

[swift sand]

sure it didnt go to a diff inventory that you wouldnt expect it to go to? not even corvette workshop cache? try to reload restore point and attempt the trade again?

[swift sand]

always feel free to ask, take it easy, have fun

[mental kite]

yeah i checked all my inv, i restarted my game aswell, and i cant attempt the trade as I don't have enough modules anymore for a new offer

[swift sand]

yeah, reloading restore point is diff than restarting. e.g. your restore point gets updated when you exit ship/seat in most locations. i imagine you might have flown to the station, and attempted the trade? therefore, the restore point save slot would still have the parts you farmed before you did the trade

[mental kite]

woops I found it.. it was in my other spaceship that I didn't have equipped

[swift sand]

very odd that one

[mental kite]

sorry 😂

thank you

[swift sand]

nothing to be sorry about traveler friend

i wouldnt have expected it to go in a secondary ship at all either

if it happens again, i'd suggest raising a bug report

[mental kite]

yeah i was getting frustrated cuz it takes long to get parts and grind for modules to make acceptable offers etc

[dreamy bear]

So guys which would be the better multitool to pick between an alien and a royal?

Is this chart accurate

[swift sand]

yep - though ofc, innate bonuses are just innate bonuses, that's not counting what we install in the tech inventory. for example, sentinels say they have a low mining innate bonus, and that's true, but that's not saying anything about our ability to install mining beam core tech side by side with hijacked laser, buffing the latter by a lot

[dreamy bear]

Which gun do you suggest I upgrade to S?

[swift sand]

that royal has a supercharged slot layout that's got two adjacent slots - that can be quite the powerful platform. unfortunately the alien doesnt have any in adjacent slots so far (dont know what will happen after the s-class upgrade)

[dreamy bear]

Do you're saying to farm nanites, upgrade the alien first to check where the last turboslot is, then reload and pick royal if it's shit?

[swift sand]

personally, i love aliens, but that one's looking like it might not turn out better - it would depend on where the last sc will be at

[swift sand]

yeah, that sounds like a good way to go about it

[dreamy bear]

I'm trying to max the scan bonus of the royal so I'm leaning towards that more tbh

But the alien looks sexy

And has better damage

[dapper shoal]

hi if i start permadeath i can only meet players that are also playing permadeath right? and can never change that once i started right?

[swift sand]

dont worry about the scanner bonus, that only affects quick scan pulse range, which you can max with just a few s-class modules

[swift sand]

right, and right

[dreamy bear]

Oh so there's a max cap on distance? Aww I liked the idea of scanning a huge area on foot

[swift sand]

about damage "potential", see this image:

[swift sand]

yeah, bout 1000-1100u, kinda depends if there's a lot of icons to show closer by or not

[hot birch]

This is an atlantid right?

[swift sand]

right

[dreamy bear]

Oh so max is around 1000 scanner range is what you're saying

[swift sand]

to be clear, not thinking about the stat we see in the mt inventory screen, thinking of the actual distance in gameplay that i see icons popping at after using quick scan. honestly, it's been a really long time that i even looked at the scanner range stat lol, my brain is already trained to ignore eyes on that

[dreamy bear]

Yeah I'm always looking and trying to farm for tools

[dapper shoal]

and if my difficulty preset is custom but i have selected permadeath in death consequences does it count as permadeath and can be with other permadeath players?

[swift sand]

does it count as permadeath and can be with other permadeath players?
yep yep 🙂

[loud cobalt]

I have got an freighter and task tells me to construct something

But im unable to find that construction room.... How can i find that

[analog scroll]

Your first command room. Go up the green stairs and open the build menu

[loud cobalt]

Ok got it thanks

[hot birch]

Do animus beam and solar ray have adjacency with mining beam and terrain manipulator respectively?

[analog scroll]

No, and they don't have any function outside of the Starbirth mission

[stoic trail]

why cant i hear my friend when i join him but he can hear me

[obsidian nova]

Could be a hardware issue on their end

[stoic trail]

his

game audio is fine though

and discord calls work

and his littel icon on the top left makes the speaker sound when he talks

[obsidian nova]

Could be a setting one of you have disabled

[stoic trail]

theres 2 applications but one of fthe sliders i cant move it

i think maybe thats the issue

[gentle glacier]

what ship is this?

[obsidian nova]

Starborn Runner

[analog scroll]

Starborn phoenix or runner. Hard to tell in the lighting

[obsidian nova]

It's an Expedition reward

[analog scroll]

The Phoenix was a steam-only limited DLC

[gentle glacier]

fahhh

[obsidian nova]

You're not really missing out, honestly

It's an okay ship, but not one I'd fly constantly. There are ships with much better stats.

[gentle glacier]

when is the next expedition event?

[analog scroll]

We don't know

[obsidian nova]

Unknown

But it'll most likely be an update-themed expedition

And that will not be the reward

[twilit wing]

maybe in mai or june

[hot birch]

Potentially though it's hard to say

[obsidian nova]

I doubt May, since it's almost over

10 days left

[wild acorn]

guys im came back after 1 year and started new how do i get quantum computer recipe and resonator

[twilit wing]

NMS only announces expeditions a few days in advance, which is why May shouldn't be ruled out.

[twilit wing]

at the anomaly

[wild acorn]

like where do i get the recipe in the anomaly

[twilit wing]

u know where you can get upgrades for youre ship right?

[wild acorn]

yeah at the back with the 6 pcs right

[twilit wing]

yeah, the middle right if you enter the room or the other side idk

[wild acorn]

found it thx very much have a wonderful day

[obsidian nova]

Expeditions also only typically release with an update, which is more than likely slated for next month, since this one is almost over.

[hot birch]

True, it's been a little long for a xeno arena expedition

[inland ermine]

Also Sean has teased nothing new in the media

Which usually starts 2-3 weeks prior

[analog scroll]

Days, not weeks

[bitter crypt]

Usually within the week, roughly

[analog scroll]

The only updates he's said anything about more than a week prior are NextGen and the Switch

[weary yoke]

is there any particular method to trying to game which planet a chart will lead to? Or is it just go to a different one and hope it goes to the right place -> reload if not

[hot birch]

What kind of chart are you using and what are you looking for?

[ashen kayak]

wasnt there a key that changes the camera from in the ship to out of the ship ?

[analog scroll]

Quick Menu > Utilities

[ashen kayak]

ah thank you

[hot birch]

Is there no hotkey?

[analog scroll]

You can set a hotkey yourself on PC, there is not one set by default

[weary yoke]

was doing an autophage settlement, but i got the place I wanted anyways so it's all good

[dusk river]

is this normal? Dioxite Deposit completely underground

minecraft physics lol

[wet star]

Not often, but there's always gonna be weird corner cases with procedural generation.

[dusk river]

yee i guess there was a facility on top of that mountain

[late quarry]

Im kinda new to the game whats the best way to get units? I've been farming a planet that had a lot of gravitino balls

[weary yoke]

is it possible to delete a settlement via NMS Save Editor? The settlement I got generated with the terminal stuck in a cliff that I can't reach, so I can't resign from it ingame.
Can't see the option anywhere in the editor

or could regenerating it's seed maybe move the construction terminal?

[late quarry]

Ty

[dusk river]

probably not best but where i got a lot is exchanged navigation data to distress signal charts and then sold ships that i found

[late quarry]

Ty

[dusk river]

lol i havent watched a single tutorial and figured that by myself

[swift sand]

@late quarry some more suggestions <#nms-questions message>

[late quarry]

Thanks

[swift sand]

could try this post <#nms-questions message>. you'd have to place and claim base comp as close as possible, then expand build bubble to overlap settlement

[weary yoke]

I tried that, the terminal just wasn't there when I got underground

[dusk river]

minotaur ai pilot says it should mine and fight on its own, but never saw it mine anything and only fire few shots on its own, what im doing wrong or its just plainly inconsistent

[analog scroll]

It won't mine on its own, ever

[weary yoke]

annnd now its not even giving me a marker as to where it is T-T

only marker im getting is to the heart of atlantid, which I cannot build from

[dusk river]

ya i found it in wiki - "While the game description says it can "engage in mining activities", this feature has yet to be implemented."

should have read before asking

[swift sand]

try nmse https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSE

[weary yoke]

NMSSaveEditor didn't work, but I'll give that a shot

perfect that worked

[hot birch]

How much salt does it take to charge one portal glyph?

[analog scroll]

less than 50

[hot birch]

How much less than 50?

I've been using cobalt, is salt more or less efficient?

[analog scroll]

Between 10 and 50. I'm not in game or at a portal, so I can't tell you

Based on this, same cost. 16 salt or 16 cobalt https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Portal#Activating_a_Portal

Is there an exosuit module that will let you summon exocraft?

[tulip dust]

@hot birch see post below
-# to view info below, enable embeds

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.

Make sure the steps below are completed.

⚠️ Use #nms-commands for FAQ commands below & check #nms-questions for the latest details about the update.

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
3. Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.

With update 4.44, completion of the mission, A Trace of Metal is no longer required. A Settlement used to be needed -- except on Switch, where you'd have to trigger it by warping 25 times.

[gentle glacier]

Is that camp the same part of the process for finding a sentinel ship?

[swift sand]

if you got new beginnings mission in your log, then it's on to step 2 ^

[swift sand]

yeah, did you also get a sentinel tool from the harmonic camp?

[gentle glacier]

yea

but not after getting the atlas eternal quest

should I go do it agian

[swift sand]

okay, then if you got new beginnings mission in the log, and they who returned isnt already in your log, just warp out, and brake in space and wait for a quest transmission

atlas eternal (ipw atlas path completion) isnt actually a req for they who returned, but it is for in stellar multitudes

[gentle glacier]

warp as in to another system?

[swift sand]

yeah

ship warp, not teleport

[gentle glacier]

heard

[swift sand]

if you get a rescue battle event, do that and then warp again, and then wait

[gentle glacier]

I warped but nothing happened

[rain stump]

can someone help me please. no matter what settings i put the game on i get contstant from drops

[swift sand]

just wait for a bit in space, in your ship

a quest transmission should pop a few seconds after it all loads up

[hot birch]

There's this one Vy'keen monolith puzzle that shows three murals: battle, city, and treasure. Why is the answer city?

[gentle glacier]

do I need a superconductor in my inventory?

[swift sand]

what's your specs? gpu, cpu?

[rain stump]

9800X3D, 9070XT

[swift sand]

no, that's a resource you'll need to do the quest, not to trigger it

[buoyant terrace]

Anyone here have a list or know what every single item is that can be put in a neutrient processor?

[swift sand]

can you describe these drops? like when do they happen, what are you doing when they happen?

[rain stump]

Randomly. just running it will drop from 150+ down to a dead stop for a split secon than back. happens pretty often

[gentle glacier]

how long can it possibly take?

[swift sand]

||hint: Hirk took the treasure of Nal after battle. Treasure now hides in the city of Hirk.||

[hot birch]

Oh I forgot about that

[buoyant terrace]

Anyone here have a list or know what every single item is that can be put in a neutrient processor?

[swift sand]

20, 30s - not more. 1) make sure the quest isnt already in your log, in one of your secondary mission pages 2) if it's not, go lift another seal of an harmonic camp, including of the multitool cabinet, if you have new beginnings primary mission in your Log

[swift sand]

no point spamming the same question in like 2min - https://nomansskyrecipes.com/cooking this perhaps?

[buoyant terrace]

kk

[rain stump]

just happened again shows dropping from 155 to 61 than back up. all i was doing was running

150+ to 110 on this one.

[swift sand]

sounds like it's spiking due to something else tbh, are you on windows? perhaps some background app or overlay? kill/disable those and restart game completely? if on windows, perhaps clean boot https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd (not a reinstall) to test?

fwiw i've got fairly similar hardware (7700x, 9070xt, 32GB ram, sammy 990 pro; but on linux) and i have basically butter smooth gameplay (all ultra, xess->fsr 3.1 native through optiscaler - but even without any of that, just builtin fsr2 is also butter smooth).

[rain stump]

are you using Balanced on the FSR

[swift sand]

nah, i use native, and on 1440p all ultra as mentioned, am able to lock in 60fps (my set refresh rate) without my hardware needing fans at jet engine speed 😄

[rain stump]

i just turned on Frame Gen in the AMD app. ill see how this goes. currently at 280FPS

seems like that fixed it. havnt had a drop since

[swift sand]

oh nice, worked around it

gtk thanks

[rain stump]

thanks for taking the time to assist. I have named this first planet im on after you

[swift sand]

aww 😄 thanks hehe

[wet star]

With everything he's done through the years, I'm surprised that hasn't happened more often.

[hot birch]

Is the first glyph spam to get close to the center of the galaxy an intended feature?

[swift sand]

yeah because of how portal glyph coordinates work (in relation to the core, core being 0,0,0 iow)

there's a void of about 3k LY around it, and we cant portal to the core itself either, so it'll just approximate to about 5k LY away from the core, where it basically knows it's "safe"

[shell ridge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/212051634790858754/1502030370156318790/no-mans-sky-galactic-map-updated-repost-v0-8egtr5ghouca1.png?ex=6a10af4a&is=6a0f5dca&hm=f82e4a889a342293cab658c32a794e2a7f87602806c61a2f15f67708fe73fc3d&

[hot birch]

so then spamming F would put you the farthest away?

Or 8?

[swift sand]

depends on which direction you were going for, but i think so yeah yeah i remember now. say if i wanted to go to western edge, at the core level, i'd need planet index (1 glyph)+solar system index (3 glyphs)+ (yy)+ +

[hot birch]

Okie

[fresh birch]

All last glyph is still near center

I tried it

[swift sand]

yeah, i was just thinking a bit more about it, and it's basically because it loops around

like, when you reach 7F going up, that's already the extreme

one of the poles

then it loops around to the other side (the portal coords)

[atomic burrow]

How long do it take for a traveler to spawn

[swift sand]

if you dont find any at a location you just checked out, they wont spawn there, move on

[analog scroll]

They're random. If you don't see one in a space station, they're not going to be in that space station

Finishing the story is a more straightforward (and arguably quicker) way to unlock all of the glyphs, and it is required for later content

[frigid sparrow]

Does anyone have a single fusion igniter I can have I can trade for it if you'll like

[swift sand]

try asking around #nms-lfg-or-trades or use service bot https://nomansapp.com

[dreamy bear]

What you think about the layout now?

[dusk river]

is phase beam essentialy better photon cannon?

[dreamy bear]

No that's infra knife

[swift sand]

try to make squares, not rows - with techs and modules of the same type. boltcaster setup looks decent

[dusk river]

read wiki - both can mine asteroids, just has better range and is a hit scan, didnt find anything about unshielded targets

[dreamy bear]

Should I turbo charge the base mod or the S class upgrades?

[swift sand]

depends a little. are you talking phase beam on corvettes? because well, there's an abnormal limit with them and phase beam which can lead to really high damage. if you're talking just about any ship except corvette, then infra is gonna be more powerful than phase beam, and phase beam is mostly only used for shield leeching recharging our own shields

[atomic burrow]

How long do it usually take for you to find a traveler

[swift sand]

for scanner, SC the modules

[dusk river]

building a dedicated fighter starship, corvete is just a storage with wings

[dusk river]

infra better than phase against shielded?

[swift sand]

personally, i never bother with them - if i wanted to unlock glyphs not through the main story, i'd just rush to anomaly, and wait for the nexus to give me an eliminate hazardous flora mission type - they always start at a grave, all i gotta do is not interact with it (for the mission), mark it (with a base computer), then abort mission, teleport back to base comp near grave, get glyph. ofc, if i wanted more glyphs, i'd just repeat the same mission

[swift sand]

with high enough fire rate, infra knife really doesnt care what it's hitting, it just melts stuff

[dusk river]

i believe you but sounds like a boring way to play

[atomic burrow]

So find a grave through a anonmy quest set a bade their then abandon it then keep reloading save till it slawns?

[fallow valve]

Where is the best place to get glass?

[swift sand]

yeah, could be. personally, i like using photon/sentinel cannon: damage neutral, hits shields and hulls just as hard, a proper blaster. phase beam for when i need to regen. positron ejector is also one of my favs

[swift sand]

no, the grave itself is going to teach you a glyph - the mission is used to find graves directly, instead of finding a traveler to talk to so that he can point the way to a grave. type !faq-portalglyphs in #nms-commands , see method c

[swift sand]

just refine silicate powder - terrain manipulator, flatten mode, goto town

[dusk river]

i though phase beam, cyclotron and infra

[olive laurel]

hey folks im trying to get through the gather 3 types of eggs mission on expedition exobiology and my rendezvous 3 planet does not have any egg creatures... is that a known bug, i just need to keep going to other planets and hope for the best?

[fallow valve]

Ohh sick thx

[dreamy bear]

I found one at a space station randomly. It's worth checking them and they reveal a location of a grave for 100 nanites

[swift sand]

we dont really know since that expedition isnt live atm, and you''d be doing it in some random systems - but yeah, if a planet or planets in that rendezvous system doesnt have any, you're gonna have to branch out - other rendezvous systems, ones behind or perhaps even ones ahead

[dusk river]

also i came from a game where shotgun meta ruined the game for years until it killed it so yea aint even trying positron

[swift sand]

some players also like rocket launcher

[atomic burrow]

Spent 2 hrs and can't find 1

[swift sand]

that said, crafting glass is much faster - but you'd want to grow frostwort for frost crystal and unlock the glass crafting blueprint ofc

[dreamy bear]

Better get exploring then

[fallow valve]

Noted thx bud

[dusk river]

i used it with photon till now - ehh

[atomic burrow]

Fact I gotta do this till I get 16 to🫩

[dreamy bear]

I got 3 and this is what I'm working with lol

[swift sand]

no, you dont. if you focus on it, you could have the full glyph set unlocked in just a few hours, by completing main storyline: no fuss, no finding travelers, just do missions, when the mission that will teach the glyphs comes you just gotta warp 16 times

and like i said, trust me, using the anomaly mission is a lot faster than travelers

[atomic burrow]

Heading in there rn

[swift sand]

finding travelers is a matter of luck - getting the right mission on the anomaly is a lot more common

[atomic burrow]

Which mission is the grave kne again

[swift sand]

since nexus missions refresh every 10min, if you're fast, you can mark multiple graves using the same time interval/same mission before it cycles

[swift sand]

eliminate hazardous flora mission type

[fallow valve]

How do you power the o2 harvester?

[swift sand]

with carbon iirc

but honestly, i'd not bother with those for a couple reasons

@fallow valve

1. with 1 or 2 maybe even 3 s-class life support modules on, making use of dioxite/edible plants/food to recharge life support, the need for o2 for those things drops quite a bit
2. an o2 hotspot mine with gas extractors and supply depots will give you all the o2 you'll ever need, without you needing to babysit them or fuel them periodically

[fallow valve]

That’s fair! I have only just got back into my main save and decided to check out my base and wow it’s a mess haha

As a common Subnatica player, this base is shambles

[swift sand]

yeah, once you settle back in, definitely take a look at extractors

[late mortar]

wife is having an issue with her 2nd settlement being under attack constantly. She has killed 5 walkers now, not in a group. Saved and reloaded. still under attack.

[fresh birch]

That happened to me and the enemies actually followed me around wherever I warped. Idk how to fix it other than ditching that settlement

[fallow valve]

The mess my base is

[swift sand]

does wife have more than 1 settlement in that save?

[fresh birch]

It’s the 2nd one so I would assume yes

[swift sand]

i couldnt tell if it was the 2nd settlement, or if they had 2 settlements atm

[fresh birch]

Ahhh, valid

I’ve had 3 cups of coffee don’t mind me I’m zooming

[fallow valve]

I really did pick the worst place possible to build my base but oh well

[swift sand]

@late mortar perhaps the other settlement is also under attack? if not.. i'd next confirm combat difficulty settings, and just to be sure, disable multiplayer+goto station+save+reload+teleport back to settlement

[hot birch]

I've had this thing at my settlement where I've disabled sentinels on the planet but the settlement gets attacked with sentinels

[swift sand]

yeah, save+reload would reset sentinel shutdown state in this case

@late mortar also, make sure that a trace of metal isnt in the mission Log - if it is, could be related

[hot birch]

Do I need to go back and reset the pillar every time?

[swift sand]

shutdown state persists till the next reload/restart or leaving the system yeah, that's why it's beneficial to mark the pillar building on the planet we want to shut them down in

[hot birch]

Ah I see

[olive laurel]

hey folks gathering 3 different types of eggs, im just looking for clarification... is this the same as inducing egg or is it actually something they produce like milk/berries/et

[swift sand]

the latter

[olive laurel]

tyty

having some tough luck

[pulsar wind]

I'm trying to find autofage settlement but the map I got form the autofage computer is no working, says that there is local interference

[swift sand]

1. are you on switch? 2) if you're not on switch, make sure you're in a gek/korvax/vykeen system, and that it's not an abandoned system (space station has npcs, etc)

[pulsar wind]

Yes, switch

[swift sand]

@olive laurel yeah, you're looking for diplos, striders, triceratops - remember to look in moons too

[swift sand]

switch 1 doesnt have settlements, but is able to buy autophage settlement charts for some reason (but not the regular settlement charts though, from the station cartographer, iirc) - that's why you're getting that error

!hg

[tulip dust]

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

Ohhhhhhhh

[swift sand]

devs should hide it from switch1 for now at least, they probably just overlooked it

[fresh birch]

Wait Switch 1 doesn’t have settlements?

[swift sand]

correct

nor multiplayer

[pulsar wind]

Só maybe I didn't lose my settlement

[olive laurel]

ive been going everywhere but barren and similar planets/moons i just found my first egg being creature eggs

[fresh birch]

I knew multiplayer but not the settlement bit. That’s good to know

[swift sand]

@pulsar wind if you're cross saving, your settlement should still be there, it's just not visible while playing on switch1 i guess

[pulsar wind]

Ok

GG Man, I thought I lost it, that's why I got the autofage charts

I've been shooting korvaks freighter to farm stuff for my freighter, though I lost too much rep and lost the settlement, kkkk

[fallow valve]

Oh so the bio dome isn’t a glass roof, noted lol

[hot birch]

Wdym?

[fallow valve]

I thought it was like a big glass roof to a round room, like on Subnatica lol

[hot birch]

Lol

I see

[fallow valve]

So how dose it work? It’s just a stand alone piece you can use to plant inside?

[pastel light]

Best way to get more tech/storage slots on ship

[swift sand]

yeah, inside the dome there's planting spots, you unlock plant blueprints, then build a plant on a spot - (real) time passes, you can come by later and hit the harvest all button in the dome to collect all plants

[fallow valve]

Cooleo! The base building in this game is starting to piss me off

It’s soo restrictive

[swift sand]

personally prefer mission boards, explorer and merchant guild envoys and ship scrapping, fleet expeditions also comes back with some sometimes. check !faq-inventorybot command (please run it in #nms-commands ), the starship sub link has further details (might have more sublinks in there at some point i.e. on ship scrapping)

[fallow valve]

Dw about that comment, I worked it out

[pastel light]

You get storage from scrapping ships?

[fallow valve]

Small brain moment

[swift sand]

yeah - there's a dedicated command for it still, !faq-storageaugments 🙂

[pastel light]

Is there a reason why exotic a and below, and living ships don’t give you any

[swift sand]

exotics only spawn in s-class, and living ships cant be scrapped

[pastel light]

Damn

So I can use that starship website thing I was given earlier to grind exotics

[swift sand]

sure, yeah. remember that exotic drop chance is the same regardless of system economy tier, and that there's one exotic design in every inhabited system. that said, consider this: it's possible to find a ship that always drops at least 1 storage aug or more, regardless of class it was scrapped in - but scrapping copies of the same ship in the same class will always result in the same number of storage augs dropped

for example, a ship that drops 1 at c-class, 1 at b-class, 2 at a-class and 3 at s-class

it's also possible to find the bad luck: e.g. none at c, none at b, none at a - but 1 at s-class

lol terrible luck that ship would be - so you just make a note: this ship is good to scrap, this one isnt, this is only good at some classes, etc etc

[pastel light]

Is there a most common color a ship can have

[swift sand]

probably? depends on what ship type i guess. those things are hard to tell, could be seeing one or two primary colors being more common or even the only ones existing in a system, but could be finding an opposite in a nearby system

kinda throwing random numbers there for the example

[pastel light]

Does putting warp drive in supercharged make it more efficient?

[hot birch]

Yes, it should

[swift sand]

you mean the core hyperdrive tech itself? barely, not worth it i think - it's like 1% less fuel used on non sentinel ships

[hot birch]

It should be worth it for the range tho no?

[swift sand]

if you're thinking sentinel ship there, yes, because crimson core has a flat +600LY range stat on it - but if not, and we're talking s-class or good x-class, then a module would be better i think

similar to how on freighters you'd prefer to SC reality dethreader iirc because of its large hyperdrive range stat

[hot birch]

Ah yeah I have that supercharged

How much does it matter where I put these? I've moved some of them around and they make the range vary by 20-30 ly

Like moving the resonance matrix above the hyperdrive decreases the range by 20

[pastel light]

How many tech slots can I have in my ship

[hot birch]

Max is 60 I believe

[swift sand]

well, it can matter - for example, reality dethreader should have all 4 sides connected with other hyperdrive tech+modules for top adjacency bonuses on it - but tbh, it's not like freighter hyperdrive range is a huge deal

[swift sand]

yeah, like @hot birch said, exosuit and any s-class gear can be upgraded to 60 tech slots

[pastel light]

I thought you couldn’t have more than 3 upgrades of something

[swift sand]

rest are techs blueprints

[pastel light]

I swore I was told that

[swift sand]

you're right

[hot birch]

It is for what I'm trying to do, but as long as it's above 3k it's good enough

[pastel light]

It looks like a bunch of warp upgrades in the image I replied to

[hot birch]

The 3 s class ones are the only upgrades

[pastel light]

Oh

[swift sand]

only these are hyperdrive upgrade modules

[pastel light]

The hell are the other ones then

[swift sand]

all the other ones are the techs from the freighter bridge/upgrade terminal/base parts&upgrades

[pastel light]

?

How does that work

[swift sand]

which part?

freighter research unlocks blueprints that we can use, we need to use salvaged frigate modules as research currency

[hot birch]

Like starship upgrades in the anomaly

[solar fulcrum]

Does anybody hsve the code for a paraduse moon with a gas planet?

[vast mirage]

i figured this much out so far, but its still very confusing. i need to just try them out until theres too many...

[swift sand]

try checking out this post <#explorers-archive message>

[hot birch]

But instead of salvaged data, you use salvaged frigate modules

[swift sand]

instead of nanites, you use slavaged frigate modules yeah

[hot birch]

Is it worth going for this set up given my sc layout?

[hot birch]

Oh I forgot that salvaged data was for buildings

[swift sand]

well, supercharging should always beat adjacency but perhaps you can add some more by giving the left supercharged module some more adjacency bonuses

@pastel light salvaged frigate module drop sources, see <#nms-commands message>

[hot birch]

Is there an easy way to find portal glyphs to a system close to galaxy center

Oh it does?

ahuh 🙂

Thanks

[hot birch]

Ok, I'll mess around and see. Thank you!

[fallow valve]

How the hell do you get frost castles

[swift sand]

frost crystal?

[fallow valve]

The one for the ice plant

I forgot its name

[bitter crypt]

frost crystals yes

[swift sand]

@fallow valve you either loot frostwort plants from the wild, grow frostwort at one of your bases after you've unlocked the blueprint, or by refining some (e.g. dioxite+o2)

[pastel light]

There’s so many bases

[swift sand]

yeah, you can see how popular that "address" is 😄

[pastel light]

How am I meant to get to the center if the stars stop at around 3k ly away

[bitter crypt]

there is a "gateway" system

several gateway systems yeah 🙂 check the demo video if needed

[bitter crypt]

I see I see

good to know!

[swift sand]

if you warp like 1000-1500LY to a side, it should change to a diff one

@pastel light remember that core warping applies damage to installed tech on suit active ship and MT

store suit tech and modules, swap to a ship and mt you dont care about

[pastel light]

Well at least I have my first sentinel ship I don’t care much about

[swift sand]

remember that you can always just use repair kits to fix pilot interface

[pastel light]

Ik

[pastel light]

Will I be safe storing in the burner ship?

[swift sand]

yeah, cargo inventories are totally safe

[pastel light]

What do I need to repair in the burner ship

[hot birch]

Everything in it I believe

It will end up like the first ship you got

[vernal fiber]

Where can you ask about interceptor parts?

[stuck berry]

Ask what about them?

Sentinel Interceptors are not compatible with Starship Fabrication, we can't take them apart to build new ones

[vernal fiber]

Maybe there's a forum to discuss that? Some people might be hunting for it.

[stuck berry]

Hunting for what, ships that have specific parts? There's https://nmsce.com/ and https://nmsint.vercel.app/

[vernal fiber]

Damn, this is helpful, thank you mannn!

[weak cloud]

It looks like I "discovered" an extinct fauna. Bug?

[ember hemlock]

Hey im having some issue! I started playing this game yesterday and i have been having alot of fun. Currently i am in the missions "The Space Anomaly" on the step: Board the Space Anomaly. I have looked at playthroughs and every time i do, they appear to enter a ship much different from the one i enter, seeing how in the space station it directs me to, does not have the "Priest Entity Nada". I am completely stuck and i was hoping someone could perhaps helpd me!

[obsidian nova]

That's just a regular space station

You need to summon the anomaly via the Quick Menu

[ember hemlock]

OHHHHHH

thank you <3

[mental forum]

Is there a landing pad you can build for corvettes?

[bitter crypt]

nope

[mental forum]

Damn cheers anyway

[obsidian nova]

Sadly

Sean, pls

[worldly peak]

i have a question so with these two freighters both of them are good for slots n stuff BUT the first one has more tech spaces i was wondering if the second one could also get that many tech spaces or if that isnt possible sorry im kinda new to stuff like this

[pulsar jacinth]

Both of those freighters can have up to 60 technology slots and 120 cargo slots; you will just have to unlock more slots.

From the looks of it, the author of those images isn't necessarily showing the inventories in the state they found them, but already sufficiently unlocked to showcase supercharged slots.

[buoyant terrace]

Does anyone have one of every single type of food i can get?

[hushed cave]

how did my hyperdrive in my sentinel ship go from 80 to 100 after i warped 3 times

[hot birch]

Do you have auto recharge?

[knotty frigate]

I feel like I keep asking this

why does my meneuvrability plummet when I reload? I had 2600 on my corvette after rearranging things

now it shows 1600 but it's "maxed"

[hushed cave]

i got the launch autocharger but nothing for my hyperdrive

[hot birch]

Oh yeah

I'm not sure

Prob just a bug

[hot birch]

Did the tech in your corvette get shuffled?

[knotty frigate]

after making changes yeah, but I moved stuff around and put everything where it needed to be

[hot birch]

Odd, I had something similar happen with the max damage in my phase beam. You can submit a bug report

[knotty frigate]

would multiplayer have anything to do with it?

[hot birch]

It's possible but I normally have multiplayer turned off and it still happened to me

[vast mirage]

is there a cap for manoeuvrability?

[hot birch]

Not really, but if your manoeuverability gets too high the ship can become unflyable

[vast mirage]

going from 1600 to 2600 felt like that. its not really easier to pilot
(it seems like we have a similar corvette build)

also, about the hit box... does adding pieces and making a corvette bigger also makes it hit box bigger?

i notice i can fly throught the small holes i shot in the meteors with my slim corvette.

[hot birch]

I haven't experienced that much of a difference, though my shields are absurdly high and my corvette isn't that big

[hot birch]

Bigger than yours though it would seem

[vast mirage]

i really tried to keep it as small as possible, but idk how much it really makes a difference.
ty for the answers

[hot birch]

If I put a lot of storage augs into my corvette, and I want to modify the build and maybe delete some habs, how will that affect my tech space outside of the cargo slots that the habs provide?

[tropic ginkgo]

there aren't damage sources high enough to justify even thinking about optimizing for a smaller hitbox
NPCs will hit you no matter what and it's not like you're cruising through asteroid fields with a ship difficult to steer or stop

[hot birch]

If your friends show up however...

How do I create a hard save for my corvette again?

[twilit wing]

My Patterns in time quest switched to the 16/16 quest, am i become now glyphes for quests?

[hot birch]

Not yet, the one after 16/16

[twilit wing]

i maked the quest and it sayd that i killed the atlas....

[mossy panther]

are space stations only in Euclid, or do they exist in the other galaxies too?

[hot birch]

All

[mossy panther]

alr thanks

[twilit wing]

i had some galaxys where dont was Space stations

[mossy panther]

yeah some don't have those

especially like

the special systems

like cadmium and emeril

[hot birch]

Galaxies or star systems?

[grave lake]

Anyone have any strategies they wish to share for finding fauna underground? Some times it's easy other times it's like looking for needle in a hay stack.

[hot birch]

It's a pain for me too, but something I learned is that you don't actually need to look underground, they will also spawn near cave entrances (if the caves are deep enough (not sure if this is a requirement or not though))

[grave lake]

Yeah, that what I meant by it sometimes being easy.

Right now all I do is hop around in my mech while pressing F hoping I see a red dot.

I should have look on Reddit first. This is pretty good advice since I've noticed it myself but never put it together. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/fkuhdt/tips_for_finding_underground_fauna/

[tropic ginkgo]

locate a waypoint or POI, they often warp terrain around and chop off a piece to make a cave entrance

[grave lake]

Yep, thanks Coral, that's the advice from Reddit also

[buoyant terrace]

is this good

[brave quartz]

I found a planet that says Zeno colony does that mean ima get jumped by the bug things if I go to it

Xeno colony *

[tropic ginkgo]

that's one of the synonyms for infested planets so yes, though only if you activate an item

[brave quartz]

Oh

[ashen kayak]

what would you describe as signs that the water im is is considered "Deep" or "oceanic" enough for rares to spawn?
stuff like phantom jellyfish swimming around, the crystal sylphide spots existing abyssal horrors etc?

[brave quartz]

Water

[tropic ginkgo]

every planet with water has those

for deep ocean planets to spawn you need to be in a purple system that doesn't have a gas giant

[ashen kayak]

no

thats not my issue

my issue is this planet has a rare underwater spawn

and is full of shallow waters

deepest ive found is 23

[tropic ginkgo]

so you're looking for fauna - simply swim around, reload if needed

[ashen kayak]

but there were some areas where i saw these "signs" that didnt exist elsewhere phantom jellyfish swimming around, the crystal sylphide spots existing abyssal horrors

[ashen kayak]

has worked every time except this one and people have been saying things like this require either "deep" or "ocean" water to spawn

and what the game labels a body of water as such i am trying to find out

[tropic ginkgo]

a planet cannot roll fauna that cannot have conditions to spawn on that planet

[brave quartz]

The xeno colony is under water so idk were the bugs are gonna spawn

[ashen kayak]

so you're saying depth doesnt matter only luck (assuming i meet the conditions of time/region)

[brave quartz]

Wait nm

[tropic ginkgo]

yes, anything deeper than a puddle spawns underwater fauna

[hushed cave]

are these just general upgrades that apply to all exocraft

oh i see now, its just the upgrades for exocraft that arent specific to minotaur/nautilus

[brave quartz]

How do you get the trash truck thing

For the wast on worlds

[stuck berry]

By processing one piece of scrap at a processing plant. The tutorial for it that's began from installing the Gravitino Coil directs you to a processing plant

It unlocks the flatbed modification for the Colossus exocraft. If you don't have that exocraft yet, go unlock it's geobay's blueprint at the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly

also, unlock the Exocraft Radar blueprint tech from Iteration: Perses, which is required to manually locate processing plants and waste heaps

[vale mountain]

if one of your frigates gets damaged, what happens if you continue the expedition? does it get irreparably damaged

[stuck berry]

No, it just continues the mission. If a future event causes damage to that frigate again, then it is irreversibly destroyed

[vale mountain]

that's what i meant, thanks

also, what does it mean when an attack is ineffective, in the holo arena?

the amount of damage looks normal and miss chance is 0

I get that it means the attack I'm using is supposedly "less effective" because the opponent has e.g. toxic

but like, what's different?

less damage I assume

[ashen kayak]

this doesn't bode well for my case. (its the exact same case)

[vale mountain]

how do you "dispell" an attack? in holo arena

[ashen kayak]

i feel empty inside but im finally free

[stuck berry]

I don't recall being to dispell an entire "attack", just moves that dispell your creature's debuffs or dispell your opponents buffs

[vale mountain]

if you're playing against an AI i assume they will never dispell your attacks

doesn't seem to have happened yet

Am i need have 16 glyphes or is 12 enough?

[dusk river]

is it possible to scan that big flying/burrowing sand worm?

[stuck berry]

No, it is not

at best, you can aim your visor at it to see some wacky details (this is why it has a red dot, so you're encouraged to look at it and see those details)

[stuck berry]

12 is enough for the coordinates at the end of the Starbirth mission

[tropic ginkgo]

you wrote out the instructions yourself, the center is in the direction of the glow
(reaching the center isn't required for you to complete the quest)

[twilit wing]

i just needed to warp 16 times, i did it but i cant interact with the portal either

[runic kraken]

definetly a dumb question but do i know you/ you know me? lol

[stuck berry]

In what way can you not interact with it?

[twilit wing]

I go to the portal and it dont give me an button to press

[jade cloak]

i dont think so?

[runic kraken]

lmao bet mb. played some tarkov and other games with a guy named sven.

[stuck berry]

That is very strange, the one pointed to by the mission should have an interaction point on one of it's sides

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

[twilit wing]

are portals on every planet?

[stuck berry]

Yes, there is one portal on each planet/moon

[twilit wing]

minimum 1 right i found 2 portals at 1 Planet

[swift sand]

nah, impossible

1 per planetary body

[merry nest]

the edits are goin crazy tn

[swift sand]

game would get confused if there was more than 1

[merry nest]

like 2 nether portals in the same chunk

consumer is always right

need help navigating to this system

set waypoint, marked planet but galaxy map shows something else

[swift sand]

another way to get to it would be to add one of the planets to wonders/personal recs, then goto catalog&guide/wonders/personal records, cursor over it to get its glyph address, then portal to it

if you dont have the glyph set unlocked yet, you could request a taxi

Find a portal and put the portal address into it

[dusk river]

bruh, why df was it leading me away

okey it seems that i misunderstood how supercharged slots work

each class of starship HAS or CAN have one more slot?

[stuck berry]

C class things always have 1, B have 2, A have 3 and S have 4

SS slots can be placed in any of the first 30 slots (40 for multitools). This includes slots that have yet to be unlocked yet

[dusk river]

so its somewhere in those slots on right?

[stuck berry]

Yes, the 3 other slots are in any of those 11 locked slots

their placement is also deterministic per the thing's design, except for multi-tools and sentinel ships which have their initial SC slot placement based on the crash site/cabinet they were acquired from, but SC slots added via class upgrading placed based on the thing's design

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Information on Quicksilver** <:quicksilver:514812470095773696>

Quicksilver is not a microtransaction currency. You can obtain Quicksilver through missions at the Nexus.

Daily Quicksilver Missions
You can complete one 400 Quicksilver mission per day, if you miss one, you will be able to do two the next day, up to three available missions. The secondary reward and type of mission refresh every 10 minutes.

Weekend Missions
Weekend missions run from Friday 6pm UTC until Monday 9am UTC and offer 1,800 Quicksilver. You can only complete this once per week. This mission will be the same type and take place in the same system for everyone. The secondary rewards will still refresh every 10 minutes.

Spending Quicksilver
You can spend Quicksilver at Polo's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (QSC), also found in the Space Anomaly. While most Quicksilver items are cosmetic, there are exceptions such as: Void Eggs, base building parts, starship trails and figurines for your cockpit. Unless the item is consumable (e.g. fireworks, Void Eggs), all purchased items in the QSC shop are unlocked account-wide, instead of per save.

The QSC is also where you redeem Expedition and Twitch rewards some of which cannot be purchased with Quicksilver.

Community Research Milestones
Community Research rewards are unlocked in phases by the community completing any type of Nexus mission, not just Quicksilver missions. When a phase is complete, a new item is unlocked for purchase at the QSC.
All gamemodes and players collectively contribute to the progression of Community Research.

Alternative sources of Quicksilver
You can receive Quicksilver by speaking to Nada periodically during the main storyline and/or through the condensed stellar ice pulse/space encounter.

If I get a group of 4 players doing weekend quicksilver missions. Do each player get to activate a 1800 quicksilver missions or is it counted as a group mission

[stuck berry]

Each player gets one 1,800 weekend mission. Joining it if you've already done this weekends' mission will just have it be a regular 400 quicksilver mission, or not a quicksilver mission at all if they're out of those

[gray lodge]

Ok so I should be able to get 4 x 1800 with full party?

[stuck berry]

...yes? but each player will only receive 1,800 once

this is identical to how other nexus missions work, the rewards are on an individual basis

[gray lodge]

For each mission completed that's activated by a new player?

[stuck berry]

Huh?

[gray lodge]

So If I start a mission with a group of 4 for 1800. Then the next person starts theirs and so on

[stuck berry]

All four players won't be able to begin the weekend mission again after finishing it

as I said before

[gray lodge]

You also said they each get individual 1800 missions

[stuck berry]

no, they each individually are awarded 1,800 qs for doing the weekend mission

[gray lodge]

So if I start a mission for 1800 quicksilver in a group of four it takes away the others 1800 Quicksilver mission if they start a solo

[stuck berry]

yes, and all four players are awarded 1,800 qs individually from the initial mission completion

[gray lodge]

That sucks

even if those players who finished the weekend mission join someone else who is starting it up, they will only get the regular nexus mission rewards, not the weekend rewards that they already got

you, as an individual, can only earn the rewards from the weekend mission once per weekend

[gray lodge]

I see. That's why it's so hard to get quicksilver lol

Do the 1800 weekend mission stack like the daily missions. As in if I don't do this weekend mission can I do 2 next weekend

How to play multiplayer with my friend

I just installed the game

[stuck berry]

One of you creates your save (or loads an existing one) and loads into the game, the other player joins from the main menu > join friends

[wintry tundra]

Yes I know but when I do this it says connection lost or whatever

Is there like something I have to achieve on my own first in the single player to play with my friend?

[stuck berry]

It shouldn't say that, so maybe something is blocking the multiplayer connection (see this post #nms-questions message)

[stuck berry]

Multiplayer is fully available from game start

[wintry tundra]

wait I am from Egypt

what can I do to play the game

[gray lodge]

Make sure your date and time on the system your playing on is current. From what I've noticed on console as long as you trade no mans sky Friend codes you won't have to use the join game option unless you want to join that friend. Just load up your game from the play menu. Make sure that your settings allow for multiplayer and people that can join you is set to friends only or anyone. Then have your friend join your game session

[stuck berry]

Try using a VPN

[wintry tundra]

I am on PC

[gray lodge]

That may be required

[gray lodge]

This doesn't matter

You have to make sure your game settings are right or it won't let you play multiplayer

If that's all set up it's the connection

So a VPN may be required since your in Egypt. Not sure how all that works with other countries

[dusk river]

whats starship size?

how to know what i got

[stuck berry]

Huh?

At most, the different wing sizes influence how large the initial inventories are, with bigger ones giving more starting slots. This is only a thing for fighters, haulers, explorers and shuttles

This also does not impact the maximum slots you can add via starship outfitting terminal

[dusk river]

couse like it didnt let me get those slots on right

its a figther

[stuck berry]

You can add more

At any starship outfitting terminal

See this post #nms-questions message

You can use either Storage Augmentations, or boatloads of Units

[stuck berry]

That's the initial inventory size range

That i described before

Again, it does not affect the maximum amount of slots that can be reached via adding slots at a starship outfitting terminal

[dusk river]

will it unlock after? doesnt mean much but thats only tech slot i can unlock

[stuck berry]

Yes, you must usually unlock them in order

more things next to each other the better

Nothing, eventually you'll want to rearrange upgrades. Squares provide a better bonus than lines (more upgrades touching the base tech)

this just got that much more complicated

[pastel light]

What benifits are there to look for a specific economy in a system

[analog scroll]

Higher chances for higher class ships and multi tools, better trade goods

[pastel light]

Is there specific items that space stations will have more often to buy in specific Econemies

[dusk river]

so lets say infra in the center, best upgrades around it and then whatever is left in corners?

[analog scroll]

For trade goods (and only trade goods), yes. For example, Star Silk is only available in Advanced Materials economies, and only in 2 and 3 star systems of those economies.

[pastel light]

Okay so everything else still has an equal chance of showing up

[analog scroll]

Non trade goods, yes. Every station will have certain items (wiring looms and cobalt, for example), then there is a pool of other items that can show up.

[pastel light]

Is there any items that have a near 100% chance of being in stations

[analog scroll]

Wiring looms and cobalt are in every station

[pastel light]

There’s so much to nms it’s just so peak

[analog scroll]

On the flip side, basic materials (oxygen, carbon, copper, etc) are never in trade terminals (but may be available from some of the pilots)

[pastel light]

I swore there used to be copper

[analog scroll]

A long time ago, yes

I remember buying copper from the stations cause I didn’t wanna go around planets

Is sodium and sodium nitrate two different resources?

[analog scroll]

Yes

You can make one with the other, though

[fallow valve]

Cooleo

[dusk river]

little dude mining, kinda cute

also any way to know what race it belongs to? definetely not sentinel

[shrewd jolt]

Check the corvette module storage container i think they get deposited there

[cyan void]

It’s not there, already checked sadly

[swift sand]

nah, no way to interact with them, but you could imagine it's probably of the system's race

[swift sand]

another player reported the other day that a part he bartered for ended up in a different ship's inventory, somehow. perhaps double check all inventories?

[dusk river]

probably get lower rep and not a lot of recources

[swift sand]

destroying them you mean? yeah, most likely not worth it, just low value loot

[cyan void]

I feel like my save is corrupted at this point, I’ve lost 250+ Farming materials (pink/red ones, I forgot the name) just all of a sudden they are gone

Actually I think I know… does removing and replacing a corvette hab remove the items in those 3 cargo slots?

[swift sand]

yeah, iirc if you take the hab it removes the cargo slot, idk what happens to the items though

[cyan void]

😔 I was just getting good at farming a bit

Now idk where to find it again

[swift sand]

what kind of mats was it?

stuff like enriched carbon maybe?

[cyan void]

Like some kind of pink red things, I’m trying to find what it was rq

Faecium

Gut rot flowers

[swift sand]

faecium isnt hard to get lots of actually, we can find swamp biome planets with faecium on the resource list, and mine faecium deposits or hotspots, allowing us to get lots of it

(swamp biome planets are more common in green star systems, check !faq-biomes for more infos)

[cyan void]

Oh! That makes it a bit better tbh haha

[swift sand]

yeah, no need to feed and wait for animals to poop

[cyan void]

Sounds good! Thanks for the help

[cyan void]

OHHH yea that was it i completely forgot

[swift sand]

could also kill fauna and refine mordite but yeah

[cyan void]

I remember killing like 30 animals because I thought I would get faecium that way 💔

[swift sand]

yeah, i dont like doing that either

[cyan void]

Rip the 30 “stegosheepus’s”killed in my massacre 😔

Anyway I’ll be getting some poop then, thanks for the help!

[swift sand]

always happy to help 🙂

[delicate mauve]

Is shipping a thing

[swift sand]

shipping as in?

[delicate mauve]

U deliver stuff

[swift sand]

there's something in the game called trade routes that could allow one to do the space trucker playstyle, yeah
