alternatively, could also always keep an eye on mission boards for deliver item/resource missions

[loud tiger]

Hello, I don't know if anyone knows the answer: I am on Linux and attempting to start NMS in VR, but it just starts in PC mode. Does anyone know a fix? I am on CachyOS using wivrn. Other games work just fine 🥲

[delicate mauve]

K ty

[swift sand]

launch options maybe (is it set to always launch in non-vr mode)? maybe try a diff proton version? 11.0 beta had
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog

Improved VR support so that No Man's Sky VR mode is playable again.

[loud tiger]

Yeah I saw the message about proton 11.0. It didn't work sadly. The game is not set to non-vr mode.

[swift sand]

yeah, not sure - i'm on linux myself, but not a vr player. did you check this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality_linux/comments/1ojo11n/no_mans_sky_launching_in_pc_mode_after/?

You have to run custom xrizer with a fix, since nms switched to openxr. It should be in a main branch some time ago, but for the reason unknown it is not.

@loud tiger is wivrn installed from flatpak? maybe try non-flatpak (something else i was reading)

[loud tiger]

I did, but the url to the solution posted in the comments no longer works. Another user commented to use Envision, but I am using Wireless streaming so I can't test that.

I'm not using the Flatpak version of WiVRn but the AUR packages.

[twilit wing]

Can i play with mouse and keyboard on ps4?

Ok, ty

[swift sand]

so i assume you tried using the xrizer package in the aur?

[loud tiger]

Yeah, and the 'latest nightly - bleeding' release from the xrizer github.

[swift sand]

well, seems like your only option rn is not to use wivrn

raise a bug report to them i guess would be the appropriate way

[loud tiger]

I will thank you

[swift sand]

i'm assuming you also saw the vronlinux db right?

VR_OVERRIDE=/opt/xrizer

probably more in there

also in protondb - sorry, i'm just carrying on, i dislike throwing the towel lol

tried proton-ge too?

[loud tiger]

The reports on NMS on db vronlinux show it working for WiVRn, but those are all from 2025 and earlier

[swift sand]

yeah, noticed that too

there's a bug report open for wivrn already https://github.com/WiVRn/WiVRn/issues/855

No Man’s Sky VR issue:
VR mode does not work when launching through wayvr.
It only works if I start the game from the WiVRn application list.

[loud tiger]

Yeah, but there it works if they launch NMS through the WiVRn application list, which it doesn't for me sadly

[swift sand]

yeah, i'd submit a report

[loud tiger]

I'm typing it right now haha

[exotic sonnet]

are settlements worth it? I picked one up yesterday and it's over 1 mil in debt and idk how to get it out of debt

[bitter crypt]

Improve buildings and make management decisions that will over time increase the productivity. It will eventually pay off its debt. Settlements can also eventually produce specific items for you. I know many people have their settlements produce frigate fuel

[exotic sonnet]

is there a list online of what I can make my settlement produce?

[bitter crypt]

I would not know, sorry

[swift sand]

@exotic sonnet @bitter crypt yeah, in !faq-settlements 🙂

this one

autophage settlements are quest locked ofc

[exotic sonnet]

gonna turn them into a geknip farm 😭

[digital jay]

How do I unlock all the customization options for the traveler

[swift sand]

see <#nms-questions message>

some quests, quicksilver shop, fishing, vile brood, expeditions,etc

[digital jay]

I can view the ones from the expedition’s right in the anomaly

[delicate mauve]

I had to restart my run but from start how long is average to be able to teleport to peoples bases?

Anyone?

@analog scroll

@swift sand

[analog scroll]

Like to be able to do it or the teleport itself?

[swift sand]

@delicate mauve ^ see above question from Tyndall

[fair iris]

https://imgur.com/a/J27dvFe

nms is such a great game

but i want to play less every time something like this happens

thank god i dont have motion sickness

this would've been a death sentence

[swift sand]

1. any mouse apps running? any cheat engine/trainers/mods running?
2. does this happen with a new save?
3. if you're on windows, does this happen if you read and do the steps here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd to then test?

[delicate mauve]

To be able to do it

[fair iris]

no cheat engine, no mouse apps running
2) this is my first playthrough
3) this just happened, i dont wanna leave to wipe my progress

[delicate mauve]

@analog scroll

[fair iris]

winmemorycleaner (for clearing the ram regularly)
steam
discord
LLT (community made laptop software)
tray icon for usb devices

[swift sand]

3. autosave triggers - confirm timestamp in options menu

[fair iris]

nope

no autosave so far

[swift sand]

then you only just started or something?

[swift sand]

what do you mean no auto save so far..

[fair iris]

i mean the last autosave was a lot longer

[fair iris]

while i was spinning

there was no autosave

[swift sand]

..so?

[fair iris]

and i dont wanna leave

because it would erase my progress

[swift sand]

of about what, 20min?

[fair iris]

and in those 5 mins i already defeated a pretty difficult pirate invasion

[fair iris]

yes

[swift sand]

can you open galaxy map?

[fair iris]

hard 20 mins

[fair iris]

watch the whole video i sent above

btw for context this happened when i tried entering the space anomaly

[swift sand]

i dont know of a way to get out of this without opening galaxy map or reloading

[fair iris]

and then i dont remmeber, i either tried turning, or opening some gui, or summoning another space anomaly

so im asumming the game thinks im landing

in the space anomaly

[wet bough]

How do I find glyph portal's after the mission the purge, because after I did it I have glyphs of somewhere I want to go but I can't find a portal

[fair iris]

but because there is no ground it keeps me spinning

[swift sand]

recommendation: trying to do any kind of progress that involves going to the anomaly? definitely keep multiplayer disabled

!faq-portal @wet bough see post below

[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.

[fair iris]

what

i dont get it

isnt the anomaly MEANT for multiplayer?

[swift sand]

multiplayer, options, network settings

[fair iris]

i dont get it how that correlates

[swift sand]

can act as a multiplayer hub yes, doesnt mean that it's meant to be on all the time

having multiplayer disabled can prevent issues that stem from conneting to others

[fair iris]

what, how does that correlate

[fair iris]

stem?

[swift sand]

i dont know, i'm not a dev

[fair iris]

you mean steam?

[swift sand]

arise from, caused by

[fair iris]

uhh ok

disabled

no difference

still spinning af

[swift sand]

that was an advice for the future, i didnt say it was fix for the now

[fair iris]

oh..

so what do i do now

[dusk river]

i know not optimal arengment

these seninel upgrades affect all weapons?

[analog scroll]

Assuming the base is in the same system, as soon as you build a teleporter. If not, likely as soon as you reach the Anomaly; though group bases are sometimes a bit strange

[analog scroll]

Boltcaster only

[swift sand]

as i mentioned before, i dont know how to get out of this without warping out or reloading

[fair iris]

omg

dude

i give up

[dusk river]

also a sanity check - there is starship eqvivalent to them?

[fair iris]

screw nms

im gonna go play celeste

just in order to enjoy the game i had to spend an entire hour downloading mods to fix visual bugs

[delicate mauve]

K but I’m tryna join a community and I reached that point but the other bases tab was grey unusable @analog scroll

[swift sand]

maybe it's mods that's causing this..

[fair iris]

than another hour adjusting graphic settings cuz the game doesnt work on some of them

[fair iris]

without mods i get constant stutters

i only have 3 mods

all performance related

[dusk river]

i swear there was something like in my corvete

[fair iris]

this is worthless

[swift sand]

i understand. maybe there's a different reason for those stutters, and unless you're playing on a potato or something, there should never be a need for mods to get the game to run smoothly. well, if you ever feel like you want to do some troubleshootin to try and figure that stuff out, feel free to drop by #964865106334875698

[delicate mauve]

Ah

Ok ty

[swift sand]

sounds like igpu+dgpu shenenigans

[fair iris]

nope

all other games run fine

never had an issue

[delicate mauve]

So should I hyperdrive to their system?

[swift sand]

but i'm not gonna argue anymore

[fair iris]

same

[analog scroll]

NMS is not Other games

[fair iris]

cya

[fair iris]

yea i noticed

[analog scroll]

Yes

[fair iris]

i noticed

[delicate mauve]

K tysm

[swift sand]

fwiw, you're the only one with that issue

so it's something on your machine most likely.

but since you dont want to troubleshoot, there's no point

moving on.

[fair iris]

im just tired of constantly troubleshooting

already spent 2 hours

troubleshooting

[swift sand]

that's why i said - come back later, some other day, when you actually want and have the patience to troubleshoot

we'll be here.

[fair iris]

i suppose

[swift sand]

have fun

[fair iris]

have a nice day

[swift sand]

you too

Is the planetary chart an alien cartographic data chart

Cuz it's saying that

So would that be the alien chart

[swift sand]

alien cartographic data chart is most commonly referred to as alien chart yeah

[wet bough]

Thx

[loud tiger]

Hello. I have discovered what the problem was and have found a solution. WiVRn uses Xrizer as OpenVR compatibility library. The main repository of Xrizer does not yet implement the latest version of OpenVR (2-15-6). Luckily, someone has made a fork that implements the necessary changes: https://github.com/ImSapphire/xrizer/tree/openvr-2-15-6

You can clone the repository with
git clone -b openvr-2-15-6 --single-branch https://github.com/ImSapphire/xrizer.git

And then you compile with cargo xbuild.

Finally you must change the OpenVR compatibility library in WiVRn to the target/release directory.

Hopefully this helps someone who encounters the same problem as me 😃

[dusk river]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Suspicious_Module

@analog scroll found what i was looking for

[analog scroll]

Those aren't the equivalent of the Sentinel multi tool upgrades. Those are X class upgrade modules

[dusk river]

right, i guess they look similar

they better than S class from stations right?

[tulip dust]

@dusk river
-# 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.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

can be, from worse than c to better than s

thanks for the detailed post 🙂 have fun

[wicked lintel]

How to increase hyperdrive range in corvette where can i buy the parts or do i have to find them

[bitter crypt]

I believe normal starship upgrades should work

[stuck berry]

Standard starship upgrade modules work, and they stack with the Zenith-Class Reactors exclusive to corvettes

[dreamy bear]

What do I do to unlock all the exocrafts? I brought every blueprint from the anomaly

[stuck berry]

you can salvage modules from salvageable scrap worlds, and once you have enough you can trade some for 3 zenith class reactors and build those onto your ship

[stuck berry]

Well their geobays are a blueprint unlocked at the Space Anomaly, from the Construction Research Station

Placing down their geobay summons the exocraft, and having a geobay placed somewhere in the universe counts as owning it for extended summoning methods (like the exocraft summoning station, orbital materializer)

[dreamy bear]

Oh I need to build the pads first?

[stuck berry]

yes, they are basically where the vehicle is "stored"

[fresh birch]

The game doesn’t know you own it without a bay somewhere

[dreamy bear]

Ahh ok thanks

[buoyant terrace]

What can i buy with quicksilver?

[stuck berry]

Base building objects, character customization options, cosmetic starship technology, emotes, a Void Egg which begins the mission to obtain a Living Ship

[wet star]

Speak to the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, on the Anomaly, to the right of the Nexus terminal. They're the only merchant that deals in Quicksilver.

[wet star]

Just a heads up, as well: if you find something called a "Myth Beacon" in the Quicksilver catalogue, don't get it. It's useless nowadays, and was only used for the second expedition.

[wicked lintel]

Where do i get those, at hyperion i dont have any option other than indium drive i already have

[stuck berry]

At the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, which is the only vendor that accepts Quicksilver

[wicked lintel]

? I dont see any options to buy starship upgrades for hyperdrive range

[stuck berry]

Oh crud wrtong person

I thought you were the one asking about Quicksilver sorry

[stuck berry]

That's not where you buy upgrade modules, that's where you buy technology blueprints

To buy starship upgrade modules, go to the starship tech vendor aboard any space station

each space station offers each module at a different class, S-Class ones aren't uncommon just slightly expensive

you can install up to 3 upgrade modules of each type, blueprint technology does not count towards this limit

[lusty vessel]

how can i get more damage?

[shell ridge]

Have a look at !faq-shiplayout in #nms-commands channel

[stuck berry]

Add more upgrade modules related to your weapon type (up to 3, blueprint tech doesn't count towards this limit), and place the main weapon and it's upgrades in supercharged slots

[paper timber]

do my frigate expeditions need some kind of extra security to prevent damage? i thought it was to just have a fleet 2 stars above the mission difficulty

[stuck berry]

the fleet probably had some sort of really low stat that had an event happen, or you made a poor/risky decision for them

[paper timber]

no decision was involved unless they can happen while im not in the game

[stuck berry]

when they do but you fail to answer them, it's as if they never happened

[paper timber]

does that mean i need to watch out for stats across the board instead of just stars?

[stuck berry]

Kinda, if any are extremely low then they can fail events of that type (which one event that misaligns with the mission's type will always occur)

[paper timber]

are those effects typically of the same star level?

events*

[stuck berry]

I think so, idk

[dapper shoal]

i just got killed by something underwater, i got sucked in and then died so fast i didnt even know what happend 😂 anyone knows what it was so i can watch out for it next time and how do i escape it if anything

[paper timber]

ok thanks anyways

[stuck berry]

It was probably one of these abyssal horrors, they're exclusively around sunken buildings I think

when they start pulling you in, you're given the prompt to press the interact button repeatedly to escape

[paper timber]

i think they show up around caves aswell

[stuck berry]

maybe, I know the other type of abyssal horror can be found all over in their weird little nest things with the hadal core things hanging around

[gray shoal]

Why they gather them tho

[paper timber]

qs quest prob, they also give nanites yes?

[stuck berry]

hadal cores give nanites when refined

[gray shoal]

The item description sounds like its some egg

[dapper shoal]

oh okay thank you are they hard to find? i would love to try it incase i run into them again in permadeath xd

[stuck berry]

I think you can find them at nearly any sunken building, which can be located using the Nautilon's high powered sonar's quick menu options

[paper timber]

they can be common around those kinds of structures i guess(buildings or hadal core drops)

[swift sand]

when using visor, they'll be under a red exclamation mark icon - they can indeed spawn underwater, and not near any buildings; but always near sunken abandoned buildings

one thing that's happening atm is that if you aqua jet land near one that's shallow enough, you'll start getting damage even when inside your ship, if you try to take off you'll get stuck (respawn ship elsewhere first)

[dusk river]

dont get the second question

[swift sand]

for example, there are no x-class ships

s-class is the max

(we've had that question in here before)

[dusk river]

oki got confuzed by gear

[swift sand]

gear here referring to ship, multitool, freighter

[dusk river]

living ships kinda fils that role, no?

[swift sand]

i understand your train of thought, but nah, living ships are always s-class

same as exotics

[earnest crater]

how can i play with friends on vr? My world doesnt show up to my friend

[swift sand]

but your session shows to friend if you're playing non vr?

vr or non vr, it should basically be the same principle

@earnest crater for example, something you can try real quick is double check if both players trying to group up can see other players in the anomaly

if one cant see other players there, there's a good hint that that player might be the one with the issue that's preventing to group up

[dusk river]

i hope VR is as good as i imagine

[swift sand]

i've heard that it's fun, but i also know that there's a few things here and there that dont work in vr; afaik still unfixed, is core warping in vr (doesn't work)

[earnest crater]

yes, we've just tried

[swift sand]

nothing major that one cant just pop back in

[earnest crater]

in non vr the world shows , but not in vr

[swift sand]

to clarify, it's not really a world, it's a character - all characters play in the same universe. 2) using the same character? that's really weird - and you've double checked network settings in save options? at least friends are allowed to join your group?

[earnest crater]

yes to all of the above

[swift sand]

have you tried changing who "hosts"?

instead of them joining you, you join them?

[earnest crater]

yeah, its the same

[swift sand]

what that's really weird

[earnest crater]

do we need to activate crossplay?

[swift sand]

and you can see other players in the anomaly when playing vr?

[earnest crater]

yes

[swift sand]

no, if it's working already with non vr - if you're crossplaying already in non vr, there's no real reason why you cant or they cant join you when in vr, it's the same game client, same account, same etc

[swift sand]

puzzling.

🤔

[earnest crater]

do we need to be no mans sky friends and not only steam friends?

[swift sand]

@earnest crater alternative: both players teleport to the same featured base in the anomaly, then check in save options/network settings/view nearby player list, see if you landed in the same instance. if you did, find each other, then join group that way

[swift sand]

if it works already in non-vr - at its core, networking code most likely doesn't change one bit from non vr to vr

[tiny vortex]

any "cheat" to make this 2 parts make a closed arch?
cause they look like they belong to each other but cant make them "roof" togheter

[swift sand]

free placing those is going to be hell ime - i'd just use a small panel to connect both sides of the arches

[dusk river]

i remember someone said they were farming gravitino balls for units - i just found a planet where they spawn randomly on ground pretty often bettwen corupted sentinels

ohh yeah and salvagable scrap because thats how i found this planet in first place :D

[tiny vortex]

yeah.....but....its too wide T_T

[swift sand]

yeah, dissonant planets have grav balls scattered all over

[tiny vortex]

😭

[swift sand]

sorry, not an expert on this, maybe try asking around #nms-base-building ? perhaps with some glitch building (needs practice), creating your own snap points?

[tiny vortex]

i will tomorrow, thanks brother

[dusk river]

is echo locators rare on them? got 3 in like 10 min

[swift sand]

relatively; only 20% chance that a resonator becomes a echo locator resonator - but sometimes you can get multiples in a short amount of time/distance

a matter of luck and often patience

[tulip dust]

@dusk river
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> When the game spawns a Dissonance Resonator...

There's a:

• 80% chance that Resonator will be an Inverted Mirror Resonator;
• 20% chance that Resonator will be an Echo Locator Resonator.

Approach and aim at the Resonator to see what it will drop when destroyed.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[dusk river]

its the same ones mined from asteroids?

[swift sand]

no, that's anomaly detectors; and yeah, those are rare to get from asteroids

[dusk river]

ahh looked similar

[lime timber]

For those of us that have not completed all the expeditions - when can get get access to those that have already been released?

Its been months since many of us completed the last one.

[swift sand]

you mean how to rerun old expeditions offline, unofficially?

if you're asking when the devs are going to rerun older expeditions, we dont know

[dusk river]

worth swaping over?

[swift sand]

so far the pattern has mostly been "release 3-4 new exps a year, then rerun those same ones at the end of that same year again, stop for a bit"

[swift sand]

possibly - sentinels do have a very decent damage innate bonus even at b-class, has a higher limit on b-class than rifle's s-class innate bonus range. no idea where the last two sc slots of the sentinel will be at after upgrading to a and s-class, could be in very advantageous locations, it might not be. that said, we can own up to 6 tools, +18 archived, and we can scrap tools we dont want at the anomaly.

dont worry too much about these, if you get a nice supercharged slot layout, that alone is going to carry

[dusk river]

how rare is a A class sentinel randomly in those resonance crates

[swift sand]

same drop chances as other gear, as ships - so for example, in t3, 28%

personally, i dont bother much with s-class naturals anymore, i just farm the nanites to class upgrade a lower tool and be happy i got it

[tiny stone]

why does my metal wall turns into something else ??? what i wanted to place is on the left and on the right is the exact same wall but it turned into something else

[slender salmon]

there are those weird spots in ranomd points of galaxy, when I approach there is nothing there, anybody knows if its a glitch or sth?

[swift sand]

open build menu, cursor over wall, press show variants, pick a wall that popped on the list - this disables, bypasses contextual building: a part changing appearance bcause of other parts near it

[errant lance]

What are the hardest things to kill in nms, started a week ago but idk if theres anything to grind alot for

[swift sand]

nah, just a visual bug, ignore it, nothing there

[slender salmon]

ty

[tiny stone]

wow thanks a lot ! I suppose base, middle , and high wall version, refers to the build height ?

[swift sand]

it's not a grindy game for the most part. things you'll "grind" (not really, just take your time) is stuff like the fishing helmets, completing catalog, maxing out upgrade modules, that kind of stuff. once geared up, defeating wanted level 5 on the ground or in space isnt really difficult. most things will die easily after upgrades, and you'll be op enough as well, your character i mean

[swift sand]

oof, sorry, it's been a while since i've actually built a house, try them out - remember that manually deleting parts refunds 100% of the build mats back

[errant lance]

nothing challenging?

[swift sand]

i mean, you could make it more challenging by gimping yourself or raising difficulty settings, sure, but it's not the kind of game that will throw rpg level bosses at you or anything, it's all pretty chill, some thrills

[tiny stone]

thanks anyway, this bothered me a lot 👽 👍

[errant lance]

Mhn alright, would've been cool to see some hard hostile animals

[dusk river]

multi tool, not ship

in those things that echo locators find

[swift sand]

yeah, for example fauna, fauna dies by you sneezing at them with a good weapon build, even with a good mining beam build. hardest things are going to be sentinels: corrupted large spiders, the sentinel walker - then possibly boundary guardian, the brood mother. ancient guardians can be a bit of challenge sometimes, but not if you're stacked on shields and health lol

[swift sand]

same drop chances as ships

like, the same drop chances apply to ships multitools (wherever they came from) freighters and even frigates

[errant lance]

Are there any way to see bigger bounties? track them for pvp?

[swift sand]

nah, and pvp isnt really a thing most players are engaging in - most players have it disabled, which means no other player can harm them. pvp mostly happens within pvp-er player groups aka communities

[errant lance]

right

[swift sand]

@errant lance about the bounties, if you meant like higher bounty fugitive pirates, the ones that sometimes spawn in systems, iirc if in higher conflict systems, the bounty is higher ("elite" fugitives), but it's really not much compared to other ways of making moneys

[dusk river]

if i already got fighter, solar and explorer, do i need a salvaged starship?

[stuck berry]

Up to you, but those sentinel/salvaged ships sell for tons

[dusk river]

yea more tech and cargo but is it better

[stuck berry]

And are basically free

You could use a harmonic camp to endlessly locate more crash sites of that ship design too, each of which rolls it's class separately

(Mark the harmonic camp with a save Beacon or claimed base computer)

[dusk river]

sounds exploity

ya single player game but infra knife felt too op so got back to using cyclotron and dogfigts feel a lot more rewarding

[dusk river]

so no real reason to keep one?

[stuck berry]

If you don't like them, yeah

They have the fastest in-atmosphere speeds, and have halved launch costs and halved warp costs

Their tech can also be recharged using alternate stuff, mainly Radiant Shards for a full charge

They handle very differently to all other ship types though, turning faster when boosting but slower when slow

[dusk river]

the more you say the more confuzed i get

[lusty vessel]

how can i get s tier guns?

[buoyant terrace]

How do i get roles in this server? Like these

[analog scroll]

#roles #roles-information

[late mortar]

wtf?

[buoyant terrace]

Use your hailing system and communicate with it

[lime timber]

Ahh that's kind of sad - I thought they were a regular thing with them rotating on a loop.

[shell ridge]

They typically re-run the current year's expeditions as the end of the year. Pinned in the #nms-modding channel is a website which let's some users (based on device) re-run previous expeditions in offline mode.

I did, it gave me 5 numbers and there does not appear to be any other way to interact.

How do I change targets for auto-targeting? I had to destroy 5 pirate ships, and my ship kept locking to a ship way out of range despite my shooting a ship that was nearby. It's quite annoying

[inland ermine]

I believe it's (,) by default

You might have to check tho, I don't remember if I didn't change the keybind and remembered it wrong

[swift sand]

that does sound about right, iirc, ,

either that or . lol

[arctic ridge]

Thanks!

[knotty frigate]

how much actual maneuverability and warp distance can I give my corvette without save editing?

and is there a cap?

[shell ridge]

Searching #nms-corvette-discussion it looks like nearly 4k ly

[swift sand]

not sure on the warp range, but i reckon that easily breaking 3k LY, and i've seen vettes with more than 4k maneuver, getting up to 6k.

oh, 4k LY even higher

[knotty frigate]

see I almost got to 3k but for some reason it dips later when I play

maybe I need to build a new one

[swift sand]

sorry, what do you mean by "it dips later when i play"?

[knotty frigate]

I had 2600 maneuverability at one point, and when I warped, or when I logged back in I'm not sure, it's down to 1600

[swift sand]

yeah, that sounds bugged, if you didnt do anything else - did you try to save+reload? maybe just deleting and readding the same part? changing tech build around?

[knotty frigate]

saving and reloading kept it at 1600. We're going to build a new corvette and see what it gives us

[swift sand]

yeah, seems like this bug is still around. would suggest raising a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

[knotty frigate]

I did, didn't realize my save file would be plagued by it

does it actually set my maneuverability back down or is it visual?

[swift sand]

not sure: do you feel the ship being more sluggish?

[knotty frigate]

yeah

[swift sand]

afaik, it's not just visual but

yeah

[knotty frigate]

it used to turn on a dime

[dusk river]

another procedural generating mishap or it supposed to be like pandora but bulking

[swift sand]

floating islands are an intended thing yeah (floating islands, well, community called them that, but after the devs added actual floating islands, we ended up with two kinds lol)

[dusk river]

huh, just looks out of place

[swift sand]

yeah, some feel that way, i actually also did at a time - but it's just being alien

i love finding ones that even have grass growing on the underside

just terrain proc gen being allowed to do a bit crazy things

[heady lagoon]

How do I get the Xbox exclusive helmet?

[dreamy bear]

So I spent the last few hours trying to make a functional base on survival. I came up with this, what do you guys think?

[swift sand]

officially cant get it anymore, not sure if service bot allows you to unlock it https://nomansapp.com

[swift sand]

looks pretty good and well thought of 🙂 (but #nms-base-building would be a better place for this imo)

[dreamy bear]

I've never used exocraft before so I just built it with them in mind. What do they do and how do you summon them?

[swift sand]

well for example, they're planetary exploration vehicles, they can be quite fun but maybe not to all ofc, they can be made weather immune (nauti and mino are already immune by default), they have their own unique inventories, their radar techs can be quite useful to locate buildings, nomad can hover above water, minotaur can be used to dish out lots of damage, etc

[dreamy bear]

Ohh interesting. Which are the most useful?

[swift sand]

i mean, it depends on you mostly - you could use them as extra storage, storing base building materials, pop them in when you need to find a building, if you explore planets with lots of islands and want to travel more freely perhaps nomad is going to be the one you'll use, maybe if you want to go garbage collecting (remnant update) you'll need to use colossus

pilgrim is great fun and probably the fastest, roamer is like a 4x4 buggy

nautilon will probably be used on waterworld biome planets to get down there

[dreamy bear]

Ok thanks

[tulip dust]

@dreamy bear also see post below on how to quick menu summon exocrafts:
-# 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.

[dusk river]

does colosus flatbed content stay inside if i resumon it?

f**

[swift sand]

it'll jst get left behind on the ground

[dusk river]

is there anything better than flatbed for waste?

[swift sand]

nah, afraid not. try not stacking waste on top of each other, go slow, when braking brake+sharp turn

[dusk river]

so 15 min trip bettwen heaps and factory thingi is normal?

[bitter crypt]

yep

[dusk river]

i hope there is a good lore explanation why a flatbed is still used post warp time

[heady lagoon]

Is there a service bot app that DOESN'T require spending money?

[analog scroll]

Save editor if you're on PC, depending on what you want; but that group put a lot of work into that tool so they charge for some of the services

[cursive root]

hi o/ so i really suck at building pretty + functional bases, i have no idea what i am gonna need in my base since i never went past mid game. Are there any tutorials i am missing online from content creators where i can just literally copy paste the build like there are so many in minecraft? cant find any, maybe not using the right keywords?

[analog scroll]

There are no copy/paste bases. #nms-base-building can give you ideas; but there's almost nothing that you need in a base, just what you want to build there

[dusk river]

is it atleast worth it?

[bitter crypt]

It counts toward your scrap rewards

[cursive root]

ok i see, one more quick thing, iirc prefab buildings dont require wires right? also i dont know if i am missing some essential tool, but apparently i cant snap wires or technology inside buildings, like there isnt a grid? so i have to eyeball it?

[analog scroll]

No grid, prefab buildings provide power to everything built inside, as long as the building itself gets enough power from the connection on the outside

[cursive root]

ok thank you 🙂

[swift sand]

@cursive root if you're on pc, you could save edit and copy iow import a base layout into your save, there are some resources out there e.g. https://djmonkeyuk.github.io/nms-base-builder-presets/

[obsidian tusk]

dont use flatbed scan for stuff by hand hand stuff one by one

[cursive root]

That's really useful, 3rd party tools always saving my ass otherwise i would spend 5 hours in game procrastinating then log off 😄 thanks

[swift sand]

btw sorry - a tip: i personally prefer to scan first for a waste plant, then go looting around it.

[obsidian tusk]

no these are so much more away than most ressource

a lot of ressource not sayinbg specialized have oen ore two specialised ressource

maybe 30%

[swift sand]

but you gotta get to a waste plant to process anyway

[obsidian tusk]

with melee and jetpack if uipgraded enoufgh you can do 500 ish distance almost in one go

[swift sand]

what i mean is use visor to look for waste, sure, but do so in the surrounding area to a plant already

[obsidian tusk]

you need look up when landing for the waste not to hit ground and drop taking dmg

if for quest you need specialised ressource later

[dusk river]

is it safe to drive under water?

[swift sand]

yeah, but it's really slow

@dusk river oh youu mean when hauling waste with colossus? take this advice: only do it if you absolutely have no way around it, and if you can be really patient and observant

[dusk river]

like bruh, really wont go around this one

[swift sand]

did you try and dive leaving colossus there for a bit, see if underwater the terrain is alright? mostly smooth? you can try doing what @obsidian tusk was saying: do it 1 by 1, manually, grabbing 1 with grav coil, melee jetpacking over the water, look up when falling on the ground if you want to prevent damage to the waste container

[dreamy bear]

What's in the underwater part of planets?

[obsidian tusk]

i just leave colossur use sprint melee into jetpack you can cover about 500 units in les than 10 secs

[upper hawk]

If i dismantle a corvette, will i get back everything i put into it (all the modules)?

[obsidian tusk]

as long as you look full up when u land you wont do dmg to package

however if you melee jetpack on the waste it will take dmg so cre about not spamming it too much

2 3 time max

[swift sand]

underwater plants and rocks, some materials like cytophosphate, underwter buildings, underwater fauna, if waterworld biome planet also sea glass - cool to explore, there's also some bits of danger here and there

[obsidian tusk]

kelp sac

aja oxygen decuplator

[swift sand]

first, get the basic parts that you'd need to build a basic corvette - add them to your build first, then delete all the other parts you want to keep; if you dont have options/difficulty/crafting=free, they'll be returned to inventory

[dusk river]

not doing that melle explot

terain was alright like the rest of this world but i got past it

[obsidian tusk]

is rocket boost tech but actually working

instead of the shitty double space not even going up

[dreamy bear]

What's the danger yeah I don't like spooky

[obsidian tusk]

and bugged as soon as you go on a steep

[obsidian tusk]

eyes

crystal slphide

clams

[dreamy bear]

What

[swift sand]

dont loot alluring specimen bulbs (abyssal horror puffer fish) and stay at a safe distance from stationary abyssal horror (red exclamation marks on visor)

[obsidian tusk]

underwater maga supported

[swift sand]

clams are actually really easy to loot - you dont have to mine them - you can just swim above them, there's a spot that it will let you interact to loot, and even when it does open up the clam afterwards. you can be face hugging it when it happens it still wont damage you

[dreamy bear]

Oh hell nah I ain't going there

[obsidian tusk]

boltcaster entered the chat

[upper hawk]

is this too ricery?

[swift sand]

looking good to me - #nms-corvette-discussion 😉

[upper hawk]

mb it wasn't in my channel list.

but uh one more thing

does having multiple photon cannons have any actual use? am i better off putting nultiple deadeye cannons?

[swift sand]

you can have up to 3 of each weapon modules types (e.g. photon, deadeye) that they will add stats (techs to your inventory), and you can still add the usual 3 s-class upgrade module from space stations on top of those, if you got the tech slots. also, phase beam is a little broken, in the sense that while adding more than 3 phase beam doesnt add more tech to inventory, it does add to damage still

[upper hawk]

do those slots actually shoot and turn when u do shoot?

[swift sand]

yeah, they shoot too, but they dont turn afaik they're a static model

[dusk river]

yea i heard, still not gonna use it

[dusk river]

i hope it was worth it ...

800 nanites ...

800 nanites for 2 hours ...

[grave lake]

You don't do it for the nanites. You do it for the love of the game

[upper hawk]

Is it safe to put my corvette pieces in the space station's corvette inventory slot thingy? Will they ever get lost?

[grim chasm]

Could anyone who has the aeron corvette pieces please give me one of each so I can make my own. I can give you back your pieces after

[bitter crypt]

Ask around in #nms-lfg-or-trades

[grim chasm]

Ok tysm

[upper hawk]

I placed my cockpit on top, and when i put ladders in my cargo hold, its not letting me get up top. Do i need to put it in the front

[cursive root]

so cant find info, how do sentinel boundary maps work? i am trying to find a sentinel pillar on a specific planet but whenever i use it, it always locates a sentinel pillar on a specific planet [i tried to reload save to 'roll' the location but it seems it's always one specific planet].

[buoyant terrace]

Anyone here in any active nms communties? all in the #1418605454300549120 are dead

[manic vessel]

No Man's High and Galactic Hub are still active, to my knowledge

[stuck berry]

You cannot build stairs into a cockpit, you must have a hab behind it or some method of entering it from behind

[austere grove]

any1 know how to fix this issue

[stuck berry]

Use a save editor to remove the extra launch thruster core tech

And in the future, do not install extra core tech onto ships as it causes problems like this

This is why it's normally impossible to so so

[austere grove]

save editor?

d you have link

[stuck berry]

https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSE

[austere grove]

https://github.com/goatfungus/NMSSaveEditor this one right

oh okay

[austere grove]

thank you !

[fresh birch]

Do ships just stop coming to a station at some point?

It’s like I see 8 and then no one else

[stuck berry]

Kinda, the big burst of spawning when initially reaching/loading on it only repeats after another load

IMO trade outposts are better for getting ships to land, a lot more consistent

[fresh birch]

Is that an option on the exocraft scanner?

Trade outposts

I’m not on a planet right now

[stuck berry]

No, but it's an option on your starship if it has an Economy Scanner installed

in the utilities section

[fresh birch]

I do have the economy scanner

Can that be done from the quick menu or just the general scanner?

[stuck berry]

Must be done via quick menu

[fresh birch]

Alright. Thanks for the help

[final cliff]

do settlement decisions go away after some time of being ignored ? I don't want my Pioneer Spirit to be replaced by a second Blessed By The Deep

lol

[fresh birch]

I’ve accidentally left one of those for days and it didn’t change so I don’t think so

There’s not an option to decline?

[ashen kayak]

can i locate a waste processing plant from any of the planetary chars

maybe the secure site one

[vale mountain]

I used Shelter in holo arena (100% dodge chance) against Oceanus but a freeze attack damaged me??

[stuck berry]

Probably, but it would be far more direct to use the Colossus' Exocraft Radar

[obsidian nova]

A lot easier that way

[ashen kayak]

i dont have a colossus i only have a roamer

[stuck berry]

Then why do you want to locate a processing plant?

[obsidian nova]

Waste Processing Plants won't do you much good without the Colossus

[ashen kayak]

i got a side obective that i wanna get out of the way

[vale mountain]

also how do I get S class creatures

[ashen kayak]

ah

[stuck berry]

There is a tutorial mission for that gameplay loop that brings you to a waste processing plant, it starts after you install the gravitino coil

[ashen kayak]

nevermind im blind

it clearly states that i need a colossus

[stuck berry]

and yeah, the colossus is central to all of that

it'd also be advised to unlock the Exocraft Radar blueprint tech from Iteration: Perses

[obsidian nova]

I managed to haul 19 pieces of specialized waste in one go without losing a single item

[stuck berry]

By looking

each species of fauna rolls it's stats classes randomly

[ashen kayak]

i have a gravitino coil

[vale mountain]

are they rare?

[obsidian nova]

Now you need a truck

[ashen kayak]

well i hope the game leads me to one

[obsidian nova]

Check the Anomaly

[stuck berry]

Each stat has a 15% chance to be S-Class, and the creature's overall class is an average of it's stats classes with a bit of leniency, so AAS things will be S-Class

[obsidian nova]

You can get a Colossus Geobay blueprint there

[vale mountain]

right so .15*.15*.15 = 0.003% chance for creature to be S class?

[ashen kayak]

im trying to obtain things by natural progression if they're possible because the anomaly feels too sandboxy

[stuck berry]

No, that's the chance for all 3 of it's stats to be S-Class

[obsidian nova]

The Exocraft Expert

[stuck berry]

again, for the creature itself to be S-Class it just needs it's average to reach somewhere near S

[vale mountain]

you said "Each stat has a 15% chance to be S-Class"

[stuck berry]

Yes, I did.

and I described what constitutes the creature as a whole to be considered S-Class

[vale mountain]

by AAS you mean the creature will be S class if two stats are A and one is S

[stuck berry]

Yes, that's what I meant

[vale mountain]

ok gotcha

[vale mountain]

also ^

[final cliff]

nope... sad

[stuck berry]

Idk about that, maybe some things are guaranteed to hit?

[vale mountain]

i'm not sure if it was you that said this but I agree this update wasn't well thought out

[buoyant terrace]

What can i do in no mans sky now? Ive done everything. im getting bored

Im trying to look for roleplay communites but i have no luuck

[twilit wing]

You can make missions to get QS and then u can buy cosmetics

[vale mountain]

do all animals of the same species have the same stats?

to me it feels like there is slight variation but generally they're similar

[stuck berry]

I think it's identical

[leaden glacier]

Wym make missions? Don't you just get 1 a day and 1 a weekend?

[twilit wing]

yup every day 1 mission

[vale mountain]

there are some flying creatures in a planet I'm on that have no traits and I assume can't be adopted. But they're not those huge worms.

[twilit wing]

400 per mission, most expensive ones costs 3200

[vale mountain]

They look like normal birds

[stuck berry]

Yes, birds cannot be adopted

many high-flying and burrowing creatures cannot be adopted

also, the colossal sandworms are not even fauna

[twilit wing]

Grouch i have an questions, i found some particals in one spot and its an creature, can u tell me which creature it is?

[stuck berry]

what kind of particles is it?

[twilit wing]

blue balls

[manic vessel]

FLOATERCREATURE probably

[vale mountain]

but I have a bird as a companion...

[stuck berry]

Well they cannot be adopted from the wild without a mod

under any circumstances

[vale mountain]

I don't have mods installed

[stuck berry]

Not a bird

that's a butterfly

which is completely different

[vale mountain]

Well I can't argue with that

I was using bird and flying creature synonymously

[stuck berry]

I assumed you meant the creatures meant to basically be birds

with sometimes insect or rat like parts

[vale mountain]

the ones I saw looked very similar

[stuck berry]

If they were also butterflies, then they can be adopted too

butterflies fly a lot lower than birds

[vale mountain]

Is an A class creature with SCS better than S class creature with ASS

agility doesn't feel all that useful

[stuck berry]

Idk, but agility determines order of turns

[vale mountain]

only the first turn of the game right

or is it any time you switch creatures also

[stuck berry]

I don't actually know

but I think it could determine the chance of "double turns"? maybe not though

I recall hearing smth about that

[vale mountain]

so double turns are a thing, I noticed that

[buoyant terrace]

what is the max standing you can get for all races?

[stuck berry]

The max that functionally does anything is 100

but it can go functionally forever upwards

[odd shale]

My save file is gone, is there any way to get it back? (I'm on Xbox series X)

[tropic ginkgo]

what does "gone" mean, how did it become like that
Xbox app should have your cloud saves, if you were using the feature

[odd shale]

How can I access my cloud saves on the Xbox app?

[vale mountain]

So I switched out my holo arena team for a different set of creatures, and now I'm not able to earn any mutation progress for those creatures

the gene edits you earn scale based on your total, not per creature? that seems really tedious. Basically there's no reason to use more than your original 3 creatures

my original 3 have kinda poor stats

can you refund gene edits

[tropic ginkgo]

no idea, I don't own a console
but cloud saves are a standard feature unless you turned them off

[obsidian tusk]

It's seems that defrnce is dmg reduction so 100 is max while dodge is based on agility so 100% more dodge can still get you hit if huge agility diff, might be wrong tho

[knotty frigate]

apparently respawning the ship works to clear the weird dip in stats

[vale mountain]

it doesn't even say "100% more dodge chance" it says "100% dodge chance"

a typo at best

[obsidian tusk]

it doesnt say 100% dmg reduction it say 100% defense like fighting power or anything

strings can be innacurates we need check the data

[vale mountain]

no it says 100% dodge chance

afaik

[knotty frigate]

Is it possible to get higher than C class living ship upgrades from frigate expeditions?

[stuck berry]

Yes, but that isn't very important since the upgrades' class can be increased after installation

[celest comet]

Does anyone have a fix for PS5 that has an incredibly laggy galaxy map? Its to the point it wont warp.

[stuck berry]

I haven't heard of anything like that happening at all, possibly try clearing your cache #nms-questions message

[knotty frigate]

they can?

[stuck berry]

Yes, they can

[knotty frigate]

I thought living ships were S by default

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is true

[knotty frigate]

and the upgrades can be improved?

[stuck berry]

yes, living ship upgrades can have their class improved after installation, for a nanite fee

[knotty frigate]

I had no idea

[obsidian tusk]

Buy a computer

Best fix

[stuck berry]

That is not something most people can be expected to do

Also, bugs like this can be fixed

[obsidian tusk]

Sell ps5 for money use that money to buy pc

Get steam link install game on phone use phone when opening galaxy map

[delicate mauve]

Hey what is the average playtime to be able to unlock anomaly?

Aka clans*

[obsidian tusk]

1h?

Clans?

[delicate mauve]

Communities

[obsidian tusk]

Def less than an hour if you focus on it

[delicate mauve]

K

Are u in one?

Like do u know what I mean by clam?

Clan*

???

[obsidian tusk]

Not sure tbh theres not really a clan system

[delicate mauve]

I mean communities like capitals

[obsidian tusk]

Anomaly get unlocked on less than an hour if you focus on it

Oh then you mean portals

[delicate mauve]

Like where a group of people make a city on a plant

[obsidian tusk]

So you need glyphes

[stuck berry]

Most communities aren't centered in the space anomaly

[obsidian tusk]

Maybe 4h if you focus on it

[delicate mauve]

Idk but I thought that’s what u gotta unlock to do it

K

[stuck berry]

You would either want to portal there, or to get a community member to "taxi" you there via mp

[delicate mauve]

I’ll just grind ig

K

[obsidian tusk]

You can effectively request someone to bring you somewhere

[delicate mauve]

K

[obsidian tusk]

Not me tho my ward is barely 2k

[delicate mauve]

Tysm for help

[celest comet]

Thank you for the recommendation. That has been tried and no dice. Almost everything we can try on the ps5 given by google has been done. Maybe its just a patch that we'll have to wait out. (Im asking for my husband. Im getting him into the game after playing on and off for years myself 😁)

[winged plover]

is it possible to go past the 'wall' where stars just disappear beyond the edge of the galaxy? i spent a long time beefing up my hyperdrive (almost 4000ly on my starship) because i thought that at the edges the stars would just slowly become less and less common until eventually theres nothing left

spent all day tryna get to the edge and it was a bit anticlimactic

[stuck berry]

No, there are fixed walls at the edge

with an extra unreachable region in two of the four horizontal directions

[winged plover]

unreachable or "unreachable"?

[stuck berry]

Impossible to reach without a save editor or joining someone who's already there

[winged plover]

ohh gotcha

i heard there were entire galaxies like that too

[stuck berry]

one entire galaxy that's unreachable

only one, no more than that

there are only 256 galaxies in the game, including the unreachable one

[winged plover]

ohh gotcha, is the unreachable one #256?

[shut sonnet]

Whats the best way to get a void egg trying to hunt for a 2x2 sc slot living ship

[gray shoal]

Only legit way is to buy it for 3200 qs

Or get one from player

[shut sonnet]

Is there an effective quicksilver farming method

Besides the quests

[winged plover]

expeditrions and quewsts are the only way iirc

if you do quests on the weekends they give 1800 qs each thoi

[shut sonnet]

Ok whens the next expedition

[winged plover]

iunno

[shut sonnet]

Zamn

So the weeklys and dailys for the eggs gotcha thanks for the help

[winged plover]

yeah its kinda just whenever they feel like it

new ones when an update drops reruns just every now and then

[obsidian tusk]

Either mods to win more also using corvette with quest stuff speedup the process

You can turn back quest without going to anomaly and the quest are different too

[deep pier]

quick shout out to the community i just got given a void egg

[dreamy bear]

What's that do?

[deep pier]

living ship questline, normally hella pricey to get

[tropic ginkgo]

not guaranteed that the player you got it from actually bought it

[exotic zenith]

Hey, I keep getting this on startup. It's not my hardware because it works fine on a clean install. I've tried stopping and starting windows audio service, reinstalling, deleting my hellogames folder in roaming, the only other suggestion online is to delete some settings files in the game directory, but they don't exist because it crashes before settings can be made

Even old gog versions won't load

[stuck berry]

Possibly follow this guidance #nms-questions message

[arctic ridge]

Is there any difference between the Sentinel rifle and pistol multitools, or are they just different skins?

[inland ermine]

They have different stat bonuses

Sentinels are afaik damage focused

There is a screenshot that floats around here usually

!mt

[stuck berry]

Both sentinel models have identical possibilities

[inland ermine]

Eh, I dunno the magic words

Oh wait

I misunderstood

You were asking both sentinel

stupid

[stuck berry]

yeah, both models of the same type of tool

[arctic ridge]

Yep, this is what I was after

So it's purely cosmetic

I have an A-class pistol and a C-class rifle; the rifle seems to have far more slots available

anyone around that wants to party up and help me money farm so i can build up a new fighter ship

[normal lantern]

Strange question, is something wrong with my save? I've been to 3 dissonant systems, gone to the dissonant planets, I barely see any dissonance resonators on them and I cant for the life of me find any echo locators. Is it just bad RNG? 😅

[stuck berry]

Bad RNG, yeah

extremely mountainous ones will struggle to spawn them frequently, due to slopes

[desert escarp]

how can i create those cool bases? bc i can only do boxes Q.Q

[normal lantern]

Makes sense, I would just make a new save but everything else is going really well lol. I can do without the ships, theyre just good money

[desert escarp]

i think i have a planetwith some if u want

[stuck berry]

You could just go through a black hole to "reroll" the area of space you're in currently

[normal lantern]

I'll try that. I'm trying not to use any of the glyphs, I like that organic feel

[dreamy lark]

hey guys im new to this game should i build a starship or should i build a corvette?

i still dont have much units

[swift sand]

@normal lantern in addition to planets with no mountains/mostly flat, i prefer to farm them in dead or weird biome dissonant planets (ones with rusted metal or gold on resource list, respectively): many of the usual resources we find on the surface dont exist on these planets, which means that the analysis visor has less icons to use, which in turn means that resonator icons are easier to find. these planets cant spawn harmonic camps though, so if the only dissonant planet(s) in the system is/are of that biome, you'll need to find a different gek/korvax/vykeen dissonant system to use echo locator in

[swift sand]

"both" (non-corvette i.e. fighter/explorer/hauler/solar sail and corvette) can be built without spending units, it'll just take more time to collect ships from crashed ship sites and obtaining the ship reactor or gather the needed corvette parts from the wild

[dreamy lark]

oh thanks man i thought i needed units to build those

[swift sand]

a corvette is built from the ground up, can have a mini base inside, can leave seat in flight, can beam down to planets without having to land, and a bunch more things

ships built using fabricator are easier to build, but less customizable

both fabricator and corvette workshop allow color customization, though the former cant modify built ships color schemes after they're built

[dreamy lark]

how about if i buy the ships from npcs? are they worth it?

[swift sand]

@dreamy lark !faq-units has a crashed ship farming guide, !faq-corvettes can fill you in on how to obtain corvette parts for free (most players go for planets with salvageable scrap containers) - type the commands in #nms-commands . ofc, you could farm the units and buy the basic corvette modules at the workshop instead, and could buy ships from npcs in space stations for example to salvage for parts to use in the fabricator.

[dreamy lark]

oh wow that is very convenient thanks you so much

[swift sand]

happy to help, anything else pops up just let us know

[swift sand]

sorry for the late reply. personally, i try to first unlock base parts: anomaly (construction research station, qs shop) is the first stop ofc, but there's other sources e.g. ruin set, derelict freighter set. then, i need to get inspired with a theme. either that comes from the landscape itself, or something irl - i find it easier to have an idea first, than to just "build as i move around". sometimes i'll build bases solely for aesthetic/photo mode purposes - why not check out #nms-base-building for images, see if anything comes up that kinda interests you? some of the more complex builds might have used in game techniques called "glitch building", which allows a whole nother level of freedom when building tbh.

@dreamy lark quick images for corvette parts (salvageable scrap containers); also:

• in space stations, there's a corvette worshop cache terminal, where you can store corvette parts to avoid filling up your other inventories.
• you can sell corvette parts for units, you can trade non-basic modules i.e. barter at the corvette workshop for parts from the list that you want to use.
• you could build a basic corvette, to help farm more corvette parts

Guys how to go to a galaxy suppose someone gave coordinates in a yt vid how to go to that galaxy

[swift sand]

!faq-portal @dense bough see post below:

[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.

[swift sand]

@dense bough see notes^ - additionally, portals are intragalactic, so must portal from the right galaxy already

[dusk river]

is there some kind of sign i can put next to storages to know what inside?

in freighter

[swift sand]

not really. you could get creative with some decals, overlapping them and such - or you could build a flat panel on the wall, and then use - hold on, cant use wires on a freighter lol

[final cliff]

you can name the storages

if you're looking from afar then yeah, decals

[swift sand]

yeah, that we can, i kinda just assumed they wanted to know from a distance - personally i dont even go to my storage room area, i just access them via freighter inventory menu tabs

[dusk river]

its faster to drop lots of items, probably unecesarry but i got everything sorted

[swift sand]

yeah, exactly. lol, was going to add that probably the only reason why i'd want to manually interact is to make use of that UI that's faster due to 1 press=transferred

[dusk river]

that sentinel ship i sold yesterday let me do stupid stuff like buying every crafting ingredient i saw in trade terminal :D

so droping that from inventory would be pain

[dusk river]

thank you, i guess thats something

ohh same name appears in corvete too, neat

[cerulean cliff]

What does the abyssal globe do

Ever since it's been in my inventory I've been running into a ton of weird things I've never seen before

[swift sand]

can you post a screenshot of this item?

[swift sand]

just to sell for units

[cerulean cliff]

its cursed

there is something up with it

[swift sand]

just flavor text

[obsidian tusk]

I don't think I used that much solar panel and hydrolic wiring since I started the game

[dreamy lark]

So i got this ship working but theres so many broken parts is it worth to fix all of them or should i just scav it?

[wet bough]

I would just scab it bri

*bro

[dreamy lark]

alright thank you bro

well theres two here can i choose both or can i only pick 1?

[swift sand]

only 1; option 2 will allow you to disassemble the ship into a single part, e.g. body, wings, which you could hold on to, in order to build an explorer ship later on. option 1 scraps it and gives items to sell for units and sometimes upgrades for our existing ships

[dreamy lark]

ahhhhh

well then i shall pick 2 then

[sterile thistle]

So I found a nice place to put down 3 atmosphere harvesters on a planet and next thing I know iam battling some sentenials ,short story here is I don't know where I placed the 3 harvesters because I didn't get a base comp down and now can place anymore on the planet seeing the 3 max ,anyway of finding them ? Lol

[swift sand]

what platform are you on?

[sterile thistle]

Ps4

[swift sand]

yeah, dont know of a way to get their location sorry

[sterile thistle]

Ah that's OK I thought it was a long shot anyways .

I feel like a dumb ass now lol

[tranquil walrus]

Hi all, seen as these storage containers have a space at the bottom can they be expanded somehow?

Wait till you try to organize them and sell stuff you think you might not need to need them right when your done organizing ! Lol

[deep pier]

2 things:

1: how do u find the really deep oceans, i alr unlocked purple systems

3: why does my photon cannons randomly say its doing x2 damage

[swift sand]

1. see <#nms-commands message>
2. dealing damage from behind/hitting back of the enemy ship

[solar fulcrum]

What is 67?

[mossy panther]

i just realized the star systems don't have stars. What's up with that?

[swift sand]

post a screenshot of where you're seeing this?

[swift sand]

stars in nms arent physical bodies, just light sources in the skybox - game design

[late quarry]

Is there a exosuit module that automatically restores hazard protection? I put on 2 modules and they dont mention it but it auto charges it (sorry for my bad English)

[swift sand]

core hazard protection tech recharges automatically when we're sheltered for example inside a ship or a base or building

[late quarry]

Thank you

[tranquil walrus]

Oh I organise and mess them up daily. The storage an it's organising capability is the only thing I don't like about nms. Luckily I already have to much units and nanites so I don't need sell anything lol

[sterile thistle]

Why complain if you so rich? Lol

[near bluff]

Ok I forget what it's called but it's a portal with symbols if you put it the right symbols it will open a portal somewhere I think u use korvax maps to find the alien things?

I'm running creative though and I know it's different on my survival save I have to do that

Still the same)

[swift sand]

the ways to locate portals are the same regardless of game mode, only difference there is that creative saves have all the portal glyphs available to use from the start

[near bluff]

?

Ok so I have to get a relic

But from who?

[swift sand]

check subposts linked

[near bluff]

OOOH got ya thanks man

[tranquil walrus]

Cause I can't store enough haha.. just corvette pieces take 100 spaces ATM haha

[near bluff]

Ok the questions are hard lol

[sterile thistle]

That's a deeper problem definitely lol

[near bluff]

If I give you a question the monolith gives me think you can answer it bc I don't get them

I've gotten 3 wrong already ☠️

Yeah I know 🤣

[swift sand]

image/txt file

[near bluff]

I'm on switch😅

[swift sand]

and?

[tranquil walrus]

Just reload restore point it's when u get out ya ship

[near bluff]

Oh just reload it

[tranquil walrus]

Just make sure you enter an exit ship each time

[near bluff]

Ok wait I have a couple options here imma test my luck.
A child emerges and starts to cry and cling to my knees they implore me to never leave.they don't want to be alone. I should stay forever. We should be reunited. Whole again once more

My options are
Stay
Comfort and leave
Leave
Leave

Take a stab in the dark and see what u guys recommend

[tranquil walrus]

Probably 1 or 2 haha

[swift sand]

EXP_MON_13
puzzle: I touch my hands to the strange polished stone of the monolith. Images flood into my head, words and scenes screamed from another age.
hint: Past is dead. Youth is over. Only the traveller journey remains.
puzzle: A child emerges from the monolith. It takes a few moments before I realise that... it's me. I look carefree and innocent. The little one stares up at my Exosuit, and tries to see me through my visor. The child suddenly starts to weep, and clings to my knees. They implore me never to leave. They don't want to be alone. I should stay here forever. We should be reunited. Whole again once more.
correct answer for portal: Comfort, then leave

[tranquil walrus]

Try 1 reload then try 2

[near bluff]

Woah

[swift sand]

i mean, i posted the file with all monolith answers..

[near bluff]

Hey it's right

[near bluff]

OH THATS WHAT THAT WAS

[near bluff]

My apologies let me download that really quick

[swift sand]

all good, nothing to be sorry about

[near bluff]

Alr so now it gave me a gift

And there's portal

[swift sand]

but it also enabled the portal finder prompt, just interact again yeah

[near bluff]

So now I can go anywhere

Now

[swift sand]

within that galaxy, as long as you've got the 16 glyphs unlocked, and you've completed in stellar multitudes

[tranquil walrus]

As long as u have the gate address

[near bluff]

These photos are YEARS old but what website is this found on I think it's from the official website right?

[tranquil walrus]

Oh ye and unlock 16 glyths lol. I just did them other day. Best thing I did . Tons of sentinel ships now

[near bluff]

These photos are VERY old

[tranquil walrus]

Haha that's what I've been doing

[swift sand]

looks that they're posted in r/nmscoordinateexchange subreddit - not dev official, but those coords should still work just fine. only 1 sentinel ship design per suitable dissonant system, so any sentinel ship site in the system will be the same ship

[near bluff]

Wait I remember now one of these screenshots brought me to a planet colliding and glitched my entire save file oh god which is which

Is there any way to tell?

[swift sand]

you'd be able to just reload restore point to insta go back before going through the portal if something weird happens

[tranquil walrus]

I found 2 of these on same planet today with echo locaters

[swift sand]

lots of sentinel ship sites per suitable dissonant system yeah, but always same looks

[near bluff]

Isn't that

[near bluff]

This?

[swift sand]

no

diff

[near bluff]

The black one

[swift sand]

check the top

[near bluff]

Ooooh got ya got ya

This is mine right now

[tranquil walrus]

If you need any echo locators for sentinel multi tools and ships just lmk I have soo many haha

[weak cloud]

Have I encountered a fauna bug? I scanned a creature, which I thought was the last one on this planet, but it comes up as "extinct" in the discovery log and another undiscovered fauna appears in the list.

[near bluff]

Would be nice to get sentence ships

Sentinal

Lemme go to that black one really quick

[swift sand]

yeah, and the fauna you scanned just now still spawning and waltzing around right? yeah, known issue atm, please submit a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

I'll message you my base address

[near bluff]

Wait I can't read this very good 4th gliph what is that one

Dislexia sticks

Sucks

[swift sand]

left image?

[near bluff]

Is it??

Man I hate dyslexia lemme try it

[swift sand]

yep looks like it

same at the end

[near bluff]

Kk imma walk through

See if it's right

Would the ship just be like sitting there?

It's been 3 years since I played this lol I forgot you

Alot

you need to go find a sentinel ship site in the system, there's only 1 sentinel ship design per suitable system

[swift sand]

either of those ways ^

defeat wanted level 5 on planet, use carrier ai frag or harmonic camp

[near bluff]

So I'm the system the portal took me it's here somewhere

[swift sand]

there's going to be tons of sentinel ship sites in that system, all looking the same

so find one

(or more)

[near bluff]

What would I need

Just look or something special

[swift sand]

defeat wanted level 5 on planet, use carrier ai frag or harmonic camp



[near bluff]

There is a communications station

[swift sand]

other players might have marked a sentinel ship site already yes, either with base comps or comm balls

not guaranteed, and if not, it's up to you to find a site

[near bluff]

Got it black sentence ship

[dusk river]

is there a cheat sheet or something for photo targets?

[near bluff]

Someone marked it

[swift sand]

"unusual" = any planet with gold on the list

[near bluff]

And built a base here

[swift sand]

someone marked a site - there's tons of sites with the same ship in the same system, not just one. class is fixed per site

[near bluff]

It's flying away

Bruh

[swift sand]

a landing pad built nearby

save+reload to pop it back on the ground

[near bluff]

And it's back lol

[swift sand]

disable multiplayer in net settings when you're going to get gear posted online

avoids issues with other players trying to get the same gear

[near bluff]

Wow it's a s class

I'm lucky

[swift sand]

yes, people will try to find s-class sites, and mark them, because class is fixed per site for all players

and because there was that landing pad there, you might not even be going through the normal sentinel ship claim process

[near bluff]

There's a whole base here like a huge once

One

So you know of a website to find these glyphs?

And not subreddit

[wheat cove]

To find interceptors? nmsce.com - select ships > interceptor, and you can choose specific parts to filter on if you like

[twilit wing]

Is 601 Hyperdrive Range on my first idk the English name Wächter-Abfangjäger u can translate it good?

How can i get more interceptor

[analog scroll]

Add more hyperdrive upgrades. For an interceptor, that's almost as low as it gets since the interceptor hyperdrive adds 600 ly of distance by itself

[twilit wing]

And my second question?

[analog scroll]

See !faq-interceptor in #nms-commands

[near bluff]

Can switch pay online

[analog scroll]

Switch 2, not Switch 1

[near bluff]

Ah of course

Dang that sucks horribly

[cerulean cliff]

When you get a living ship you are able to customise it right

I really don't want to put in a huge grind and patience just to get a poop-brown living ship

[swift sand]

if you chose to keep the ship you're led to, that's it, there's no customizing its color scheme or anything. but there are ways to get the game to mark a diff site, a diff ship. are you completing the starbirth quest atm?

[cerulean cliff]

In my opinion having a quest that makes you wait multiple real life days to complete it is strange

[swift sand]

you're birthing a ship, the lore is actually quite dark of an experience lol

[cerulean cliff]

How does it work?

I'm basically building it's organs

But the egg is already there

[swift sand]

the lore of the quest is that you're building a ship in the end, yeah

[cerulean cliff]

So I'm basically creating a living being thats a slave

[swift sand]

the egg isnt going to be used to make the ship, the egg is just basically the quest tracker

[cerulean cliff]

Got it

[swift sand]

😅 it wont really be your slave, but more like a companion

[cerulean cliff]

This is more of a lore thing but are living ships sentient or are they just brain cells that respond to ship controls

[swift sand]

when you get the ship at the end, take a look at the descriptions of its core techs 😄

[cerulean cliff]

Ok

I'm guessing you can't put anything on a living ship like technology upgrades or weapons?

[swift sand]

they have their own specific upgrades and techs and even storage augment items, and the only techs they can use from non living ships are trails, figurines and atlantid drive

[cerulean cliff]

I really like that

[swift sand]

check 3rd and 4th links ^ for more infos

[iron walrus]

Hey I am having issues recovering my game save (200 hour+) after my game randomly crashed.When I opened my game to load back into my save all I saw was the options to create a new game instead of any of my saves.I play on the PC version of Xbox and would like to know if there is a way I could get them back.

[modern pawn]

when is the next no mans sky update?

[bitter crypt]

we don't know

[swift sand]

i've seen this being reported sometimes - seems like it's having troubles reconnecting to the cloud or something. you could double check the save folder path and see if there's anything there still, if there's something there copy the whole wgs folder to your desktop for example to make a backup of whatever's there. in the case that it's having issues connecting to the cloud to download files stored there, that usually fixes itself from what i've seen. have you tried:

• xbox app: maybe restarting gaming services? repairing gaming services https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/troubleshoot-games-windows-10?
• windows store: https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accounts-billing/fix-problems-with-apps-from-microsoft-store

type !faq-savefiles in #nms-commands for save folder paths

[dusk river]

what about volcanic and so on

[swift sand]

type !faq-biomes in #nms-commands for more infos, but volcanic is going to be any lava biome planet: only 3 resources on the resource list, never a plant resource, in the list there's always going to be either pyrite or basalt

using resource lists, the presence or lack of one or more elements allows with some practice to insta recognize a biome, without remembering all the synonyms each biome can use

[silver bluff]

how do i get lithium

[tulip dust]

@silver bluff see post below:
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Obtaining Lithium/Finding a Waterworld biome planet

Requirements:

• Purple star systems unlocked.
  -# 📖 Type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands.

1. Look for a Gas Giant system - they're tagged as such in the Galaxy Map.
2. Land on the Gas Giant planet: obtain 1 Crystallised Helium and 1 Activated Quartzite (e.g. from mineral deposits), refine Crystalized Helium+Activated Quartzite to get Lithium.
3. Open Catalog & Guide > Materials & Items, Raw Materials - Exotic;
4. Cursor over Lithium, press Locate key/button.
5. Follow new mission objective and to the marked system in the galaxy map.

After reaching marked system, look for any planet with Lithium on the resource list.

[dreamy lark]

whys the 2nd option not working

is it because the ship high level?

[swift sand]

can only do so with fighter, explorer, hauler and solar sail ship types

@dreamy lark can aim visor at a ship to get some infos (see image)

[dreamy lark]

ah yes its a shuttle

i got a high level shuttle

[swift sand]

yeah, in that case, only the first option

[dreamy lark]

alright thank you for the answe

[late mortar]

wife and I have tried twice now to do a derelict freighter, and both times we hit a door with growths on it, shoot them, but the door does not open. Is there supposed to be a button or something to open these doors?

[swift sand]

gear comes in classes, and we can upgrade class with nanites too - but it's expensive, so only really worth doing to gear we intend to keep in the long run. with some nanite farming strategies, it's often faster to just get a lower class ship and farm the nanites and upgrade it. the class that drops is random and influenced by system economy tier. we can see system economy tier in the galaxy map when ship has eco scanner installed. a c-class ship with s-class modules will do anything you need it to do with ease, no ship does great without upgrade modules

[swift sand]

nah, it's supposed to open automatically when you destroy the last thing blocking it. perhaps try both returning to previous room, then try again approaching the door?

[dreamy lark]

ahhh this nice to keep in mind

i usually think the higher always the go to option

also i notice that i keep getting fighter ships

[swift sand]

just for you to get an idea of what i'm referring to

[dreamy lark]

zamnnnn

i dont understand what im looking at

[swift sand]

fighter type ships are more common in vykeen systems, explorers in korvax systems, haulers in gek, and solar sail in outlaw

[late mortar]

tried that, but nope, are they just that buggy?

[dreamy lark]

well i was exploring gek system and i keep getting fighters somehow

just my luck

probbably

[swift sand]

you can see the base techs there: hyperdrive (on the left), pulse engine (on the right) etc - the other s-class modules, in each of those squares, are buffing the hyperdrive for example:

[swift sand]

seems that it's having issues syncing things up between the two of you, it happens sometimes. are you both playing say, on the same connection? e.g. both on wifi?

[swift sand]

yeah - gek systems can still get fighters ofc, so just observation bias

[dreamy lark]

alright then thanks for the answers

[swift sand]

dont worry too much - it was more to visualize that a c-class ship can do a lot. this will eventually be basic to you, as you keep progressing. right now it's just a bit overwhelming, so filter most of it out. can always ask again sometime later 🙂

[late mortar]

we both have a physical network connection.

[dreamy lark]

imma just focus on building a ship first

[swift sand]

for example, in the fabricator, you'll eventually have something like this: the 3 ship parts needed and the reactor, also needed. try to keep an eye on mission board agent: missions there can sometimes reward ship reactors too.

[dreamy lark]

wait but do i need to have all types of ships?

to maybe kinda optimize every activity?

[swift sand]

nah - you dont need to specialize at all.

[dreamy lark]

i just quick searched all types of ships and i thought i should get the figher

[swift sand]

e.g. an explorer has 0 damage bonuses, but it can still 1-2 shot an enemy ship with a decent build

[dreamy lark]

just in case i get to combat

[swift sand]

see my reply above

[dreamy lark]

ahh i see

[dreamy lark]

so basically just pick what kind of estheticc i like

[swift sand]

yes

[dreamy lark]

and i can just choose my own upgrades for it

wat the

living ships??

[swift sand]

another example,complete diff stat: a fighter has 0 hyperdrive bonus, but even a fighter, after upgrades on hyperdrive, can reach hyperdrive range and efficiency more than enough to pretty much anything in the game: there's lots of star systems, we dont never need to warp something like 3K to get to the next

[swift sand]

quest locked, quest requires having learned something else which you get further along the line not at the start, and while they can be played without inventory upgrades, the way to get them is locked behind living frigates, so they're not really going to be something you can get to atm.

[late mortar]

tried a third dungeon and this time we were both there, but dropped the group. I was the only one to interact with any doors, but still after 3 rooms we hit a door that will not open. They just seem completely broken.

[dreamy lark]

alright so theres always room to make my own ship compatible with the way i play

[swift sand]

and even into an all rounder yeah - can do anything you have need for it to do at any point, not forcing you to swap to a diff ship

[dreamy lark]

alright these are wonderful infos ill keep them all in mind

thank you so much for explaining everything

[swift sand]

yeah, sounds like you're having a rough time there, sorry, not sure what else to suggest atm (that wouldnt just abort it)

[swift sand]

have fun, always feel free to ask 🙂

[obsidian nova]

@dreamy lark You can also build your own Fighters, Haulers, Solars, and Explorers, and even choose the colors you like
