[stuck berry]

it will respawn

[swift sand]

dont bother

[stuck berry]

eventually

[knotty frigate]

ugh lmao

[stuck berry]

I'd at least advise letting HG know about your troubles with this

[willow sedge]

Does anyone else have the issue with the SalvageSite: (planet name) quests, where you salvage a sentinel interceptor, my issue is that the hyaline brain wont probe (giving me a locaiton to continue the quest), Ive tried evreything, I have the materials in my inventory, im on the planet, i am next to the quest ship too, i have everything ready, even reloaded it (the game) but it still did not work 😭

[stuck berry]

What does the mission say to do in the lower right?

[knotty frigate]

I am getting more and weird weird shit with my save lol

[swift sand]

need 3 shards+1 inv mirror in your inventory, have stripped the ship of all the junk, then select right mission in the log, then probe subcon

[stuck berry]

Well "thankfully" this issue is global

[willow sedge]

I have 3 shards and the mirro and all the junk is gone and its the correct misson yet still no work 😭

[stuck berry]

not localized to any specific save

[willow sedge]

this

[stuck berry]

You already probed it

[swift sand]

it's already marked a site to go to

[stuck berry]

follow the waypoint

[willow sedge]

oh wait what

[swift sand]

same icon

[willow sedge]

oh okay thanks guys 😭

it actually worked, thank you! <3

[fallen dune]

Uninstalled and reinstalled it and it STILL crashes 😭

anyone else got any clues per any chance

[tulip dust]

@fallen dune see post below

Getting NMS Crash dump files

1. Press&Hold Windows key+Press R, in the Run window that appears, type %localappdata%, press Enter.
2. Open the Temp subfolder;
3. Relevant crash dump filenames will start with NMS_crash, for example NMS_crash_1771955407_161480_0x846ED-HANG_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp;
4. Drag and drop the latest crash dump in the #964865106334875698 thread: be patient till someone is available to take a look.

Notes:

• While waiting, uninstall anything like OBS, Overwolf, Twitch Studio, Medal, Riva Tuner, etc. All are known to cause crashes in NMS when not completely up to date. Additionally, ensure your graphics drivers are completely up to date. Integrated graphics as well if on a laptop.
• If you didn't find a Temp folder inside %localappdata%, try %appdata% instead.
• You can also use Windows Search to find files with the dmp extension.

[fallen dune]

o!! thank you!

[upper hawk]

ok so we're at the harmonic interface and its asking for glyphs?

[swift sand]

example "puzzle":

[stuck berry]

Scan memory registers to see math problems, then input glyphs as answers in any order

[fallen dune]

its not letting me uplaod the dmp file :(

do i have to convert it to text first

[swift sand]

what's the error

[fallen dune]

"cannot upload empty file"

[swift sand]

some kind of error on your end then

[fallen dune]

every nms crash file i have is 0 kb for some reason

[swift sand]

hmm

[swift sand]

run dxdiag.exe /dontskip, press save all info, upload resulting txt file in #964865106334875698 and we'll go from there

[knotty frigate]

anomally detectors come from red system asteroids yeah?

[swift sand]

any system, not necessarily red

[stuck berry]

red and especially purple systems have the asteroids that give them most frequently

[swift sand]

i personally tend to farm for them in uncharted systems simply because i wont have npc ships flying around the same field i am in

[upper hawk]

Do living ships not spawn in dissonant systems?

[swift sand]

they can, as long as system is inhabited

ofc, requires a void egg, etc

[upper hawk]

can i somehow give my pilot a living ship after i recruit him?

and can i get it back or what

[stuck berry]

No, you cannot change the ship of an existing squadron pilot. At best, you can exchange the living ship for a landed pilot's ship, then recruit that pilot as a squadron pilot.

[knotty frigate]

provided the squadron pilot slots are free....

so you don't like, lose an entire ship on accident

[stuck berry]

yes, make sure that you have a restore point to load in case of failure

[marsh zealot]

there is a way to give any ship to a pilot -when- you recruit them, but not after.
and no, you cannot get the ship back ever.

[shell ridge]

After adopting a pet, is there a way to show where it was from?

[stuck berry]

Not really, no

[marsh zealot]

rename it to match the planet you got it from?

[stuck berry]

via a save editor, companions do include a "Universal Address" thing that may lead to where they were first adopted but idk

[stuck berry]

This actually does work!

[ashen kayak]

also i know that each system has a pool of 21 pregenerated ship designs that spawn but i thought their specifications would at least be actively randomized per spawn

but after the same S class ships always come with same stats/inventory slots

im not so sure

[crude walrus]

Do ancient data structures (the red things that give you navigation data) respawn like runaway moulds do?

[ashen kayak]

like there is a certain design i want but every time it comes as s class it has the same inventory slots and i was hoping to find one with more

[upper hawk]

is this good? (im gonna give him my living ship)

[stuck berry]

Specifications as in?

[stuck berry]

They won't be the same after transfer

and are mostly meaningless/ineffective regardless

know that the ship's tech invntory as well as it's class are not saved

[shrewd saddle]

Elo, i just started, and 5 mins in, i found this gun I can buy. Is there a way to get cash for this thing in the first planet?

[ashen kayak]

basically every number i see in an S class version of the 2 fighter designs i follow their spawns is the same every time

tech/cargo slots,, and every stat too

[stuck berry]

There are many ways to get lots of units super early on, like selling Salvaged Data you get from Buried Technology Modules, or just finding and selling stuff you find on planets. !faq-units in #nms-commands also has a bunch of beginner ways to make units

You can sell items to the Galactic Trade Terminal on the lower floor, across from the teleporter

[shrewd saddle]

wha

[stuck berry]

Then that might just be how it works

[shrewd saddle]

i did not encounter any of that

i didnt even get to my ship yet

[stuck berry]

Oh, well then you can probably abandon that multitool and continue the tutorial

I assumed that was aboard a space station, which you're introduced to a little bit later

space stations also have a multi-tool cabinet that you can buy the multi-tool from, they actually have two of them

[shrewd saddle]

i wont

[ashen kayak]

the internet seemed to claim otherwise so with the game being like this i was getting mixed signals

[shrewd saddle]

grinder mentality, ill find a way even if it takes me days

[upper hawk]

for the automation bases, is it ok if i do it on an aggressive sentinel system?

[stuck berry]

There aren't aggressive sentinel systems, only aggressive sentinel planets. Setting up bases on those can be annoying, but if you spend 100% of your time indoors/high up then you can avoid them entirely in the long run

[swift sand]

remember that when aiming visor at a ship you dont own and dont have equipped, with the exception of hyperdrive range, you're not seeing that ship's stats: you're seeing your own equipped ship stats, if it had the visored ship type, class and pre-installed tech layout

[ashen kayak]

i am very sure at least the cargo slots are that new ship's cargo slots

[dusk river]

progress so far

[shrewd saddle]

i did it @stuck berry

[stuck berry]

Then yeah, functionally that's an objective upgrade

it even comes with a Boltcaster, which is the first combat weapon you normally obtain

[shrewd saddle]

insane

[stuck berry]

It also comes with the Analysis Visor, which you're supposed to get a few minutes later

[shrewd saddle]

technically i could get advanced mining laser, but that would take a while

whats this

[stuck berry]

A Drop Pod, used to add a slot to your exosuit inventory

to use it, you must repair all three things
one of the items' blueprint is only given near the end of the tutorial mission "Awakenings", as it's teaching you how to travel to other star systems

[willow cove]

Whats the best way to get freighter research parts? I need them to research the tech to warp with my freighter to red star systems

[stuck berry]

Salvaged Frigate Modules? There are a few reliable ways #nms-questions message

[swift sand]

yes, i was just referring to the stats themselves, which you were asking about as well

[stuck berry]

Also, note that you get the Resonance Matrix blueprint from completing the mission "In Stellar Multitudes" which comes after the main story as well as the Autophage intro mission "They Who Returned" and The Atlas Path #nms-commands message

this allows your freighter to reach red, green, blue and purple systems on it's own when installed

[swift sand]

nice hint/reminder

[upper hawk]

Can i have an auto extractor for gas without finding a power source? Can i just power it with solar panels?

[willow cove]

Okay thanks, Whats the best way to get the conflict scanner so i can get to outlaw systems to shot the freighters?

[swift sand]

2 panels+1 bat for every 50kps of power needed at the base, for 24/7 ops

[upper hawk]

That's fine I can manage that.

[stuck berry]

The only way to get it's blueprint is to unlock it at Iteration: Hyperion aboard the Space Anomaly. Note that the Economy Scanner also allows you to identify Outlaw Systems, and is far cheaper to install

[willow cove]

Okay thanks

[upper hawk]

how do i check what type of hotspot element it is?

[swift sand]

i'm not sure, but i think it's also possible to get conflict scanner from weapons research secondary mission and distress beacons

[stuck berry]

It directly tells you, like in this image

This is a Radon hotspot

[upper hawk]

oh

[stuck berry]

Radon is the gas tied to Irradiated, Frozen and Green planets

[cerulean cliff]

how do you find upgrades for a living ship?

[stuck berry]

See this post #nms-questions message

Mainly via living frigate expeditions #nms-commands message or by pulsing while piloting a living ship rarely

[swift sand]

to be clear, psychonic eggs (desireable because of prebuilt techs e.g. saline carapace) cant drop from alien melody space encounter

[cerulean cliff]

So the best way to get living ship upgrades is from using the pulse drive whilst inside one

[swift sand]

upgrade modules yes - remember that we can evolve lower class modules to s-class after installed using nanites

[cerulean cliff]

you can upgrade upgrades on a living ship?

[swift sand]

yep

up to s-class

e.g. get a c-class pulsing heart module, install it, cursor over it, evolve, it becomes b-class (save before evolving, evolve, check stats, reload restore point, evolve again, recheck - stats can be different)

[kindred quarry]

When will it go on discount for ps5?

[swift sand]

we dont know sorry, we're all just players here

[cerulean cliff]

I found a void egg

i blew it up and it gave me a grafted eye S-class upgrade

[swift sand]

yeah, they can drop upgrades in s-class already as well

now you could save+reload, and go again

save+reload resets space encounter table

[paper timber]

why is pretty much every star system near me right now a water type?

[swift sand]

no special reason, just happens sometimes i guess. galaxy map can be a little disorienting too

[stuck berry]

That tag solely indicates that 1 or more planets in it have oceans. Dissonant takes visual priority over it, and no tag being present indicates that both there aren't any planets with oceans and there aren't any dissonant worlds.

[swift sand]

remember to explore up/down, not just left right

if you're not seeing any dissonant systems or something like that, just warp away for a bit

[paper timber]

alright cause i remember seeing a lot more without any tag(water, dissonant)

[swift sand]

no reason to concern, nah

[upper hawk]

is there anything faster than the roamer?

[stuck berry]

The Pilgrim

or installing engine + boost upgrades on either the Roamer or especially the Pilgrim

or really large flying beetles

[swift sand]

after they're maxed out on size, that's when it gets ridiculous

[plucky sail]

does the ||atlas path|| quest end? i feel like ive been to so many stations now

[swift sand]

yes, 11 atlas stations to visit, it ends, turns to atlas eternal, endless mission, cant be cleared, signals atlas path completion

[buoyant terrace]

Just a question, I want to try permadeath. Can anyone give me some tips to not die?

[charred haven]

Don't go near active vulcanos

[swift sand]

1. when your char spawns, the direction it's facing in, is the direction of your ship - priority 1, get to it asap

[charred haven]

Or take on space pirates you are not ready for

[willow cove]

How do i see outlaw system with the economy scanner?

[stuck berry]

Look for the special economy tier icon, here it's the smaller skull on the left

[willow cove]

oh thanks

[buoyant terrace]

Which galaxy is the biggest one ingame?

[stuck berry]

All galaxies in No Man's Sky are the same size (4095x255x4095 regions)

[swift sand]

@buoyant terrace 2) jetpacking uses a lot of life support - use it sparringly - remember that plants like jade peas, frozen tubers etc, are easy to spot without a visor, and can be eaten to recharge LS

[willow cove]

But for me some say data unavailable

[stuck berry]

Yes, that is conflict data.

That is not what you are looking for

[buoyant terrace]

Noted

[willow cove]

i meant this sorry

[stuck berry]

The missing data is conflict data, again this isn't what you're looking for with an economy scanner installed

Look for a system that has a small skull instead of the stars next to it's economy type icon

[swift sand]

see the 2 stars in your image?

[stuck berry]

with the info expanded, the economy tier will be called "Black Market"

[swift sand]

@willow cove where yours said "satisfactory", an outlaw system says black market like grouch said before

[ivory belfry]

do the sentinei weapons shards actually do anything in non sentinel MT`s?

[willow cove]

Do i have to go to these systems to know if they have the symbol?

[swift sand]

sentinel weapon modules work on any tool they're installed in, but they only buff boltcaster - if it's not installed, they're not doing anything

[stuck berry]

No. The Economy Scanner enables you to see Economy Type and Tier data on systems that you have yet to visit

You can already see this data on the systems you're hovering over: the amount of stars they have

[swift sand]

@willow cove outlaw vs t2, 2 stars

[ivory belfry]

Ahh. thats what Ive been missing 🙂 I have been taking out BC when I get spitter. tyvm

[willow cove]

Now i get it thanks im a bit slow sometimes

[swift sand]

always feel free to ask as much as needed 🙂

[willow cove]

What type of cargo do i need to destroy to get the freighter research parts?

[full plank]

what is the average warp range of a freighter?

[stuck berry]

100-180 without tech/upgrades installed, depending on class and stat bonus %. They almost always come with some sort of tech that improves this though, which itself is multiplied against the freighters' stat bonus %

[stuck berry]

All freighter cargo pods have a very small chance to have one #nms-questions message
You can see if one contains one or not by aiming at it while somewhat close to it

[knotty frigate]

is it even worth doing anything to do with the other exocraft?

like colossus, nomad etc

like is any of the waste processing worth it or no

[stuck berry]

Nomad is great on worlds that have lots of watery areas, Colossus can haul waste on scrap worlds

as well, the colossus is the most stable exocraft, making it good for trucking around and mining stuff with the beam

and it's speed isn't too bad once properly upgraded

[knotty frigate]

yeah I gotta find more of those

[shadow rock]

Where do I find ‘Sentinel Flare Recovery’ in the Log for ‘A Trace of Metal’? It says I lost the flare and the recovery thing isn’t popping up for me

[late quarry]

How do i create a ship that isnt C level?

[stuck berry]

What type of starship are you referring to?

[late quarry]

Uhh.. normal ones? Im new to the game and idk other type of ships except for corvette

[stuck berry]

Corvettes always start as C-Class

For Starship Fabrication (non-corvette ship building), you must input a Reactor alongside the 3 parts used to fabricate the ship, the class of this reactor determines the class of the starship

Regardless of this, any starship can have it's class increased at the Starship Outfitting Terminal using Nanites

[late quarry]

Does classes effect the stats of the starship?

[stuck berry]

Yes, they influence the stat bonus % ranges of the starship (corvettes match haulers for this) which multiply the end stat by that % (meaning upgrades are far more important), as well as the top speed and the maximum amount of inventory slots that can be added to the starship, and each higher class adds one more Supercharged Slot (up to 4 at S)

[late quarry]

Thank you very much

Nms community might be the best game community to ever exist 😭

[shell ridge]

What eggs does this count? This is a brand new pet. I have some eggs in a ship I'm not currently flying I can't hatch yet, do they count towards this egg in inventory limit?

[stuck berry]

Companion Eggs.

You can only have up to 18 Companion Eggs at a time across all inventories, per save

[shell ridge]

Oh wow, I only know of 6 eggs in inventory. I'll have to look for 12 I've hidden somewhere.

Thanks.

[stuck berry]

Check exocraft, non-primary starships etc

[swift sand]

sentinel flare recovery is a secondary mission: did you make sure it's not in any of your secondary mission pages?

[shell ridge]

The 6 I know of are in a non-primary ship, waiting the delay to hatch tomorrow.

[swift sand]

check storage containers/rooms as well

[shell ridge]

No worries, now I know the limit to hold I'll find them.

[shadow rock]

It completed for some reason when I teleported to one of my settlements, but when I checked it wasn’t on any of the pages

[willow cove]

whats the fastest way to get salvaged frigate modules?

[swift sand]

so no issues atm?

[crude walrus]

Do refiners continue to run if I tab out or close the game?

[shadow rock]

Not anymore thanks

[swift sand]

pretty much all sources except guild envoys are rng based, it's really going to come down to your luck today, tomorrow... i like mission boards, fleet expeditions, the occasional piracy act against npc freighters, and explorer/merchant guild envoys. check <#nms-commands message> for more drop sources

[swift sand]

not if you close the game, but they will continue running if you tab out, as refiner recipes are real time - the ui will update when you tab back in though. final note, strongly recommend babysitting non-exosuit refiners while they're working to avoid losing resources

[crude walrus]

what do you mean? do they despawn resources sometimes??

[swift sand]

yeah, e.g. if have a refiner refining something, then go elsewhere away from it, far away enough for the game to despawn it, it can lose resources you put in, and resource you were refining

[willow cove]

How do i get the cadium drive for my normal space ship?

[swift sand]

space anomaly, ship research npc

[shrewd saddle]

is it only possible to find korvax knowledge stones in one planet/planet system?

[stuck berry]

They should be all over any inhabited world in Korvax systems

so not including dead (Rusted Metal) or weird (Gold) planets

[shrewd saddle]

is there many korvax systems?

[stuck berry]

There are many trillions, yes

Infested variants of worlds also seem to lack them, but these are rare

[shrewd saddle]

i have earned a new title, how do i equip it?

[stuck berry]

At an Appearance Modifier, which one can be found aboard any Space Station. Space Stations are revealed to you after the base building part of the tutorial

[shrewd saddle]

ty

my destiny is to learn as many words as possible

so i didnt even leave the first planet yet

[stuck berry]

You will most likely find more ideal planets to hunt Knowledge Stones later on (flatter, less hazardous ones), as well as unlock transportation methods to speed up the process (Exocraft land vehicles)

[scenic granite]

somethin is wrong with my staff
It did have a red crystal and a lower thing but now they holograms

[stuck berry]

Possibly try saving and reloading?

[scenic granite]

and also has a different name

[scenic granite]

i have

[stuck berry]

That is very very very strange

[scenic granite]

i'll try again

[shrewd saddle]

this one is really good, not really that hazardous

[swift sand]

looks like that glitch people would do to get a transparent staff

[tepid finch]

whats the best way to get electricity?

[knotty frigate]

does your capital ship get into space fights?

[tepid finch]

the setup i have barely supplies 4 gas extractors

[swift sand]

if lower usage, solar panels+batteries work really well

[scenic granite]

I mean i did install a save editor today, could that have smth to do with it

[knotty frigate]

man so those cannons are all decorative

[tepid finch]

nahh i wanna farm oxygen, so i think i need a bit more xD

[swift sand]

4*50=200, so you'd need 8 panels+4 bats -

[tepid finch]

currently have 5 bats, 12 panels and i cant get through the night without a biofuel

[swift sand]

you can also try to find a power hotspot nearby, within 2000u of gas hotspot, place base comp half way

[shrewd saddle]

whats this, failed to capture the whole picture

[swift sand]

either using more than 200kps or not all panels+bats are connected to the grid

[swift sand]

looks like it marked a building for you to go to next

[scenic granite]

?

[swift sand]

nah, unlikely.

[obsidian nova]

Possibly, if you modified your staff

[swift sand]

not, if all you did was install it i mean

[obsidian nova]

Yeah, no, just installing it without using it won't break anything

[tepid finch]

imma check

[shrewd saddle]

hell yeah

[swift sand]

tried changing to a diff tool and back again?

[scenic granite]

it says only one multi tool available, i had like 5 before

[swift sand]

oh wow

nasty

hmm

@scenic granite did you check weapons rack base part, just to make sure they're not archived for some reason?

[shrewd saddle]

@swift sandyou mean this?

[scenic granite]

nah i dont have a weapons rack

[swift sand]

gotcha. well, fwiw, could unlock it from anomaly construction research station when needed.

not sure what to suggest then

sounds like save got corrupted or something

[scenic granite]

damnn

[swift sand]

game doesnt/shouldnt ever delete tools

[scenic granite]

could that have been from the save editor?

[swift sand]

if all you did was just like, download it, install it, didnt even open it, or opened it but didnt do any changes at all, just used it to browse/view - it wont have caused any issues

[knotty frigate]

what planets tend to have the most crabby critters?

[dreamy bear]

Guys I discovered a black hole what do they do?

[swift sand]

random really,

[knotty frigate]

or should say systems

[swift sand]

like a wormhole, no damage to your gear, a warp far away, always closer to the core

[stuck berry]

Send you to a semi-random part of the galaxy, ~5,000 LY closer to the center of the galaxy

[scenic granite]

well i tried to import a base from the base building app into nms and changed some JSON there

but thats about it

[dreamy bear]

Then why is it not a wormhole? Black holes don't teleport shit 😂

[swift sand]

hmm.. i assume you have backups from before doing that? save editors usually take a snapshot of the state before actually editing

[swift sand]

well, we dont know for sure what happens then (irl), but yeah

[scenic granite]

Maybe, i'm not sure

[scenic granite]

i'll check

[shrewd saddle]

wtf is this planet

[stuck berry]

Some sort of a radioactive one probably

[swift sand]

see your mission icon nearby?

[dreamy bear]

But if I keep my freighter in this universe and use the wormhole I can still teleport back to my freighter at the previous system right

[swift sand]

sure, could also summon freighter to you after black holing

not universe, star system; and black holes are intragalactic, not inter

[dreamy bear]

Is it a one time use? Like it disappears when you enter? And is the location always random or static to the black hole?

[swift sand]

if it's a black hole system, it'll always be there, going through the same bh leads to the same system, everytime

[dreamy bear]

Ahh I got it so it's a free teleport to the opposite end of the galaxy?

[swift sand]

yeah, with most black holes that's what's going to happen

the exit system is always closer to the core though

see number below minimap in galaxy map

[dreamy bear]

But it breaks your ship and MT?

[scenic granite]

You genius, that fixed it
Thanks so much!

[shrewd saddle]

YE

[swift sand]

bh warping doesnt do damage anymore

used to damage 1 random tech or module per warp, but not for a long time now

[dreamy bear]

Ahh got it. So NMS isn't 100% realistic to space

It's just you see a black hole and you don't think wormhole y'know? 😅

[rose leaf]

Should I be using black market/illegal modification parts?

[main grove]

check out https://www.nomansskyresources.com/

recommended tech adjacency and lists the name of the tech to look for

[swift sand]

wont get in any trouble by using them, but they can be worse than c-class to better than s-class in most cases

[stuck berry]

Their stats vary from the bottom of the barrel to slightly higher than S, with a weight towards the bottom. If you don't have any other upgrades to install they work fine as temporary stuff, but installing S instead would be better until you plan on rolling dozens to hundreds of illegal upgrades per tech type way later
S-Class upgrade modules aren't rare at all (check space station tech vendors), just slightly pricey

[tulip dust]

@rose leaf
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Are these good stats?

Catalog&Guide provides example stats for upgrade module types in the game, per class.

[dreamy bear]

I managed to move my layout so my sentinel fighter ship does 82k damage with the infra knife. I picked sentinel ships over fighter because they hover like VTOL mode is that exclusive only to sentinel ships?

[swift sand]

corvettes, starborn runner/phoenix and haulers built with iron vulture wings can also hover inside atmospheres

[shell ridge]

Found the remaining stash of eggs in an exocraft. Good hiding place, I completely forgot.

[dreamy bear]

What's a starborn runner

And phoenix

[tulip dust]

@dreamy bear
-# to view info below, enable embeds

Starborn Runner

An Expedition 12 reward. To get one, player would have to either wait for the devs to bring it back, resort to save editing/modding/service bot , or get it gifted by another player.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[swift sand]

phoenix is runner's alt skin, and a time limited steam free dlc

[dreamy bear]

Oh it's expedition awards

[obsidian nova]

Wish there was a way to play them without mods or waiting

Just like... Choose the expedition you wanna run

[swift sand]

maybe someday devs will add that, always feel free to suggest it to them

[obsidian nova]

I think it's been suggested several times

[dreamy bear]

Ahh

[buoyant terrace]

Im trying to do a permadeath with every single mode on challanging. I just dont know should i make the lifeforms abandond? Im trying to make it as hard as possible

[obsidian nova]

But I don't think it would work with the way servers work

[stuck berry]

That would drastically change the game to the point of being basically a whole different gamemode, most people don't choose it if they wish to play the game normally at all

you would not be able to buy upgrades, or progress any missions, or get a freighter

[tropic cradle]

and you would have less animals trying to kill you

[buoyant terrace]

i see

[tropic cradle]

less everything trying to kill you actually

[stuck berry]

all new starships would either be sourced from crash sites (I don't know if there's a way to locate them in abandoned mode) or via building corvettes

[swift sand]

minotaur radar, nautilon sonar

[stuck berry]

oh yeah those

[rose leaf]

Okay cuz I went to an outlaw system and got a few more but I don’t have any S tier so I’ll use black market ones for now until then

[scenic granite]

does anyone here know how to answer questions about the base building app and save editors?

[tropic cradle]

exocraft radar

[swift sand]

only mino and nauti scan for crashed ships, the other land ones cant

[exotic zenith]

is nmse a better editor than both nomnom and the goatfungus one?

[swift sand]

i'd rather support that in #nms-modding

same goes for @exotic zenith

[stuck berry]

Would probably have the best answers in the creative & sharing hub #nms-commands message or the djmonkey discord #nms-modding message

[ornate glacier]

will I still be able to play with friends in survival if I enter creative mode to build a corvette? I was originally just going to sit down and grind for all the parts but after doing it for 2 hours and getting non of the ones I want I am considering creative lol

[tropic cradle]

i saw nomnom's specs and im like "nope"
havent heard of goatfungus tho

[swift sand]

will I still be able to play with friends in survival if I enter creative mode to build a corvette?
yes

[stuck berry]

Know that we can trade existing parts for desired ones at the workshop terminal, functional modules are more valuable for this

[tropic cradle]

there are 3 different file types: Standard, Permadeath, and Expedition IIRC

[ornate glacier]

I have been scammed way to many times to trust that tbh

[tropic cradle]

its an ingame terminal not a peer 2 peer thing

[stuck berry]

Permadeath still exists in No Man's Sky, and it is still fully isolated to itself and other Permadeath saves only

[tropic cradle]

thanks

[ornate glacier]

yeah but the terminal scams me

[tropic cradle]

its chance based

[ornate glacier]

It will say it went through, but I wont get it

[tropic cradle]

empty your inventory

[digital pike]

Thanks

[ornate glacier]

Tried that at the time and it also didn't work, but maybe its been fixed idk

[tropic cradle]

either way i dont really know i never did it myself

[knotty frigate]

I've been shooting at asteroid for quite a while and there's no anomaly detector?

[stuck berry]

Try a different star system, prioritize red star systems or purple if you have access to those

[tropic cradle]

make sure its asteroid fields, and its a pretty rare drop

...and hope you dont get the freighter that i sawed in half when you do get one

[knotty frigate]

we've been looking for a paradise planet in a purple system, figured two birds one stone I could do both

[carmine scarab]

Anyone know how to fix this from happening with the corvettes

[fresh birch]

How many electromag reactors can go in a spot?

[gray shoal]

As many u want

[fresh birch]

No diminishing returns?

[gray shoal]

They work above ground

[stuck berry]

None

[gray shoal]

Em gens dont have dimnishing returns

[fresh birch]

Nice. Got 4 gens so far powering like 700u of space

Thanks for the help

There’s diminishing returns on extractors though, right?

[stuck berry]

Per network, yes

you could make many different networks of resources extract from the same hotspot but that's a lot of wacky complicated work

[fresh birch]

Just got “utilities” run on lines for some extractors, idk if I want to figure out more atm lmao

Thanks again

[gray shoal]

Not really . Make extractor-silo network and then make copies if it stacked on top of eachother

Make some space between "levels" to not merge networks by mistake

[late quarry]

What does a hyaline brain does

[gray shoal]

It Marks monolith where it can be harmonized

[stuck berry]

but only via the specific mission step that makes that happen

so if you're trying to fix up a crashed sentinel ship, follow the Salvage Site mission in your log

[late quarry]

Thankss

[buoyant terrace]

How do i unlock the space anomaly on a abandond gamemode

[stuck berry]

It might be unlocked by default, or unlocked after your first warp, not sure

first warp would match how Community Expeditions operate, which is how we were first introduced to Abandoned Mode (Expedition 13: Adrift)

[buoyant terrace]

I did my first warp

Not there

Oh it appeared now

[clear panther]

does anyone know if theres a way to use camera mode with unfreezed time wihtout having to be in a multiplayer session?

[swift sand]

not afaik, but perhaps through #nms-modding

[clear panther]

okay i found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zSxG74jKQk

honestly is a goofy solution just for recording but it works

[swift sand]

oh yeahhhh

haha

i spend so little time in that menu that i forgot

[swift sand]

thanks, and sorry about not remembering about this

[clear panther]

no problemo, im half lost too

[swift sand]

@clear panther ofc, you could also use no hud

[clear panther]

yeah the problem is that i want to use a free cam to record

[swift sand]

right right - for some scenes though, might work

just wanted to make sure you knew

[clear panther]

but either way im going to look for some mods

last time i wanted to record the game indium was the best money method, there must be something for sure

[stuck berry]

If on PC, could use https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/3364

[swift sand]

gold is currently the top mineral to hotspot mine and sell

[clear panther]

lifesaver man, lifesaver

[clear panther]

is it? it looks cheap for me

[tulip dust]

@clear panther

<:info:850810445577453658> Extractable material values in No Man's Sky

Excludes materials such as chlorine and pure ferrite that cannot be found in resource hotspots.

contributor: weasel#6455 shared by: bkay201

[stuck berry]

It's the most valuable substance that can be mined

[clear panther]

and gold can be extracted like any other mineral right?

[stuck berry]

Which is still a bit under 1/3 of Activated Indium's previous value

[stuck berry]

Yes, any mineral that appears on a planet's resource list can

Each planet lists a biome mineral, a secondary mineral and a stellar metal

[clear panther]

i was going to make a high value item farm but now guess im going to be a gold digger

[stuck berry]

The biome mineral for "weird" worlds is Gold, they are most common in red star systems

[clear panther]

ill take a look, thanks guys

[barren yarrow]

any fun stuff to do when your bored?

[clear panther]

go to system 256

[barren yarrow]

why?

[stuck berry]

there's... a lot more than 256 star systems

[clear panther]

yeah but they are copies of 256 right?

[ashen kayak]

is there any c class purchasable upgrade that shares the same rng seed as the banned hazard protection ones?

[clear panther]

G A L A X I E S***

[stuck berry]

??? There's trillions of star systems inside of each Galaxy

Oh, then yeah, only 256 galaxies

[clear panther]

i keep being told thats were the fun is

[barren yarrow]

thats why this game is so peak

[stuck berry]

All upgrade modules use the same seeds when installed, all deterministically the order of installation

[ashen kayak]

... so ive been rigging with c class modules of the same type for no reason all this time lol

[stuck berry]

Yes, it is not a factor

[ashen kayak]

couldve used any

[stuck berry]

All upgrades just pluck the current seed and increment it to the next one upon initial installation

[ashen kayak]

and i guess it also doesnt matter if its exosuit -> ship -> exosuit either?

[stuck berry]

Correct

[ashen kayak]

👌 thanks

[swift sand]

even storing+installing stored tech/module package bumps the seed

no need to burn through trash modules

[ashen kayak]

at least i'll never look for wiring loom ever again

[bleak ruin]

whats the current expidition?

[bitter crypt]

There is no currently active expedition

[bleak ruin]

how until one starts

[bitter crypt]

We don't know

[bleak ruin]

fah

[bitter crypt]

It's all up to whenever Hello Games is ready to release another

[alpine stirrup]

do we have a clue as to when the update is

[swift sand]

probably soon, as mr. Murray has posted a 🐝 emoji recently

[alpine stirrup]

I love you

[jade frigate]

What does this mean?

[swift sand]

means that #nms-media is better suited for images that arent meant to be louvre material, following the rules to do so. #the-louvre is a channel where the staff reshares pretty pictures that got more than 5 heart reactions in #nms-photomode-gallery

[eternal folio]

[bitter crypt]

Not fit for this channel

[eternal folio]

Then what channel

It’s not that deep

[bitter crypt]

#off-topic-bond-james-bond

[eternal folio]

[knotty frigate]

If I see a ship with crab legs on it, is that modded in since it's a colossus module?

[bitter crypt]

The colossus has customizations that you can unlock through scrapping industrial waste, one of which being the crab legs

[knotty frigate]

I saw, but I may have seen it on a corvette or something? I don't remember exactly

[main nacelle]

can anyone give me marrow bulbs?

[bitter crypt]

#nms-lfg-or-trades is the place

[main nacelle]

nobody's answering 😭

[bitter crypt]

Patience

[weak sable]

I haven't played in a while. Can you no longer summon a critically damaged ship to the anomaly?

When I try, I get a message that the ship is critically damaged

[crude walrus]

Is there an easier way to automate a processed sugar farm other than enchinocactus -> cactus juice -> processed sugar

[tropic cradle]

i think it needs to be not currently in the system

[late quarry]

Are travellers on space stations so rare i've been trying to find em for around 30 minutes

[weak sable]

So if I travel to a different system and visit the anomoly, it should work?

[weak sable]

FWIW, travelling to a different system did not work.

[inner wedge]

So there’s two ways of getting a damage ship back. I think they still work.

If you have a Freighter
Land in your Freighter
Use the quick menu to switch into your damage ship
Then use the teleporter to teleport into any space station and it should just go with you

The other is using base teleporter
Make sure you’re damaged ship is your primary ship
Build or use a base teleporter to go to any space station and it should just follow you over there

Again, I think these two work

[weak sable]

ok, I will give that a try.

[true stone]

this also works with space stations and anomaly

you can swap current ship with the damaged one

[inner wedge]

They tried it with the anomaly it didn’t work

I think that was fixed or changed

[true stone]

they worked in space stations for me

[inner wedge]

Yes, space stations, not the anomaly

[true stone]

ic

[weak sable]

That worked, thank you.

I believe I tried it at a sapce station first, though I may be misremembering

[inner wedge]

Well, either way it doesn’t work on the anomaly anymore

[tidal flare]

Hi, I have a question. I've been to thousands of space stations (including pirate ones) and I can't find this technology

Does anyone know how I can get it? 🥲

[bitter crypt]

Paralysis mortar I think, get it from the anomaly

[tidal flare]

the S class?

[bitter crypt]

The technology module you drew the arrow to

[tidal flare]

Yes

[inner wedge]

If you’re asking if there’s an S class for the paralysis mortar. There is not. Only whatever you learn from the space anomaly. It’s a stun weapon so there isn’t any more upgrades apart from the ones you get from the anomaly

[shut sonnet]

I went afk in the anamoly to eat and when i came back i was on a random planet and all my stuff was gone is there anyway to get it back

[knotty frigate]

is it uh, normal to not see quicksilver missions at some point on my corvette?

[hushed saffron]

Yes, there are a limited number per day. They can save up if you dont do any for consecutive days, up to 3 i think, and then its one mission a day

[knotty frigate]

Hun, didn't know that

[hushed saffron]

Same applies to the nexus in the anomaly i believe

[knotty frigate]

I always thought you could do as many ad you wanted lol

[hushed saffron]

I wish 😭

[hexed thorn]

you can do as many missions as you want but the quicksilver ones specifically are limited

[knotty frigate]

Like I had a plan to buy the artenis fig and do like missions in bulk

[hushed saffron]

Notably corvettes dont get the weekend mission for extra quicksilver (i dont think)

[knotty frigate]

Not that I've seen

[rose leaf]

Would it be wise to make a base on a planet with like Gravity anomalies? That also says that Sentinels are sharded from atlas?

[tropic cradle]

geology cannon
boy i love that thing

you get it in the anomaly at the multitool research station, and you can get upgrades at space stations

i dont know if pirate upgrades exist

[tidal flare]

I already have it because of the anomaly, but I've been to about 20 space stations, including pirate ones, and the upgrade to get it to S class isn't showing up

😭

[shut sonnet]

???

[knotty frigate]

Is Vy'keen the least played faction?

Cosmetics wise

[shut sonnet]

whats the best way to grind silver

[wet sigil]

Unlocking mineral extractor and finding its hotspot

[hushed saffron]

No idea how we'd determine that except a mass community poll or smth

I am inclined to say yes, though

[rose leaf]

Is autonomous mining unit worth it and if so how does one go of using it properly?

[knotty frigate]

I've had luck finding silver shooting at asteroids

[hushed saffron]

It is possible but unlikely you were kidnapped and killed. Did you have multiplayer on and do you have PVP enabled in network settings?

(Players can drag you with the forcefield tech in the multitool, or by walking into you, and take you into a corvette)

[shut sonnet]

i did have it on and idk about the pvp setting

[hushed saffron]

You can check while in the game by going to network settings

(You cant do this from the main menu)

[shut sonnet]

so i gotta start from scratch exo inv wise

[hushed saffron]

If its on i woukd strongly suggest turning pvp off

[hushed saffron]

Im guessing you dont have a restore point or autosave before you presumably died

[shut sonnet]

correct

[hushed saffron]

Rip

[shut sonnet]

ah i feared that

[hushed saffron]

If you are on pc and you had a lot of good stuff on you you could use a save editor to get some of it back, since this is rather unfair

If you didnt lose too much i wouldnt bother

There is also the ability to change difficulty settings to make getting progress back easier, but that would only really work with crafting materials or purchaseable items in this case

[shut sonnet]

thats all i really lost was all the resources value wise idk if i lost too much

[hushed saffron]

Alr

Just make sure to disable pvp and watch out for strangers

Disabling multiplayer isnt a bad idea either but also not necessary

[shut sonnet]

thanks for the info and advice

[hushed saffron]

Of course!

Good luck getting your stuff back and progressing, traveler :D

[shut sonnet]

thank you and good luck to you as well

[hushed saffron]

:)

[cursive root]

so theres a paradise planet, description does not say salvageable scrap but there's salvageable containers all over the planet. Is this a bug?

[pallid tiger]

no

[cursive root]

i should mention i did change difficulty from permadeath to normal using a save editor, does it affect the seeds / universe? do things get reverted

[pallid tiger]

2 different things

[cursive root]

how come?

[pallid tiger]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Salvageable_Scrap
salvageable scraps are these things specifically

[cursive root]

yeah, arent salvageable containers the same thing?

[pallid tiger]

no
freighter cargo pod and salvaged data etc are everywhere

salvageable scraps only show up on planet that says salvageable scrap

and give their own special loot

[cursive root]

i will have to double check, because the icons are yellow [salvaged data icon but yellow] and i remember that salvageable scrap planets had them named as salvageable containers

will go open one and check i guess

i dont know if changing difficulty settings from permadeath to normal mid game can cause something like this

[pallid tiger]

okay apparently the thing itself is called salavage container

while the planet says salavgable scrap

my bad

[cursive root]

yeah, weird, so thats tghe thing, planet doesnt say it but it has them all over

i wonder if changing difficulty settings mid game caused that

permadeath locks me in, so i had to use a save editor

[pallid tiger]

weird indeed

maybe travel there in lower difficulty save

[cursive root]

only got one save

:d

i was tired of permadeath item restrictions and regretted it because things were just an inconvenience rather than difficult, i dont know if it botched things up

would be nice if someone can clarify

so question; what does permadeath / survival normal difficulties exactly change. For example, does permadeath change the amount of sentinel hostility [i.e. can a planet in normal be low / high sentinel activity, and be aggressive sentinel status in permadeath. And another example, can a planet have salvageable scrap in normal but not in permadeath]? If so, does changing difficulties mid game botch things up.

[lone marlin]

how to unlock more heads.. specifically traveller

nvm its quicksilver

ew they're ALL FLESHY INSTEAD OF THE COOL ROBOT HEADS LIKE NULL

[pallid tiger]

some of the robot heads are obtained from autophage vendor

[north ledge]

Does this influence everything on the multitool or just the boltcaster?

[lone marlin]

i assume anything

[signal cedar]

Just the boltcaster

[tropic cradle]

all i know is it has adjecency bonus with the boltcaster

[fresh birch]

Can I not park my corvette on a big flat spot I made?

With floor panels

[cursive root]

does a settlement count as an existing base? I cant seem to setup a base computer right next to it, says existing base. If I set it up on the edge of where it is allowed, will i be able to build closer towards the settlement?

[shell ridge]

Yes to both. It has a 250u radius. Set a base computer outside the settlement and you can extend your base perimeter into the settlement.

[cursive root]

okay thank you, one last thing, i read online a base computer claims a 300u radius, any way to expand this radius?

[shell ridge]

Yes, up to 1000u radius. Place a piece at the border and it moves the border. Keep doing that.

[gray lodge]

Ok so somehow I managed to build up far enough to put a structure right inside the atmosphere of a planet and a second structure right outside the atmosphere in space. The game won't let me build die to out of range and I can't place a new base computer. How do I solve this to be able to build and link my two structures?

[shell ridge]

This is about low orbit bases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsYwtKLGG6M

[half dove]

So is there actually a way to improve the class of arena pets through hatching? I can improve temperament but a b class just has a b class? What’s the point?

[gray shoal]

Cant upgrade class

[gray shoal]

Point is to explore and find SSS ones.

[half dove]

By adopting and abandoning them?

[gray shoal]

All animals of same spiecies on planet will have same class

[half dove]

Ah, ok thanks. I’ll quit trying to bring up shit tier critters. Shame, the eggs I hatched thru expo rewards are mostly trash.

[shrewd saddle]

How many words in korwax language and can i learn them all?

[gray shoal]

Vy'keen: 928 words

Gek: 918 words

Autophage: 889 words

Korvax: 856 words

Atlas: 222 words

[willow cove]

Whats the best way to find drop pods for inventory space?

[alpine epoch]

you can also zip through different systems, visit their stations, and buy a slot from each.

[alpine epoch]

also get free exosuit expansion units when you progress with explorers guild (not sure if its just in Gek systems).

[alpine epoch]

also, you might find them in missions

[alpine epoch]

Buy from Cartographers with charts you collect. The kind you use to summon your starship or corvette.

[gray lodge]

Each system you warp too you can also get an extra slot from the anomaly

[alpine epoch]

Where in the anomaly?

[gray lodge]

Where you buy the blueprints and base parts

There is a suit terminal that you can talk to just like the space stations

[alpine epoch]

I will check.

thanks

[gray lodge]

Np. Each system gives 2 slots with space station and anomaly

[plush badge]

If I cross save my Xbox save to switch 2 and the un cross save my profiles, can I play switch 2 with same save but technically different save so when update happens I don’t gotta start a new save for switch

Hope this makes sense

I want my Xbox save on switch but not technically same save if you get what I mean

[gray lodge]

I could work but it seems a bit dangerous. what happens to the cross saves when they sync back up

[gray lodge]

If you do do this to prevent any problems you would want to keep the game from trying to sync with the cloud then after the update sync your local data after it's been updated back to the cloud

Why would you want to go to switch 2 though when the updates take twice as long to hit that system?

[brave token]

Do you guys know what time the new update or the confirmed information about what it includes is going to be released?

[stuck berry]

Yes, we expect it's trailer and patch notes to release on <t:1779886800:F> as all prior major updates have followed this pattern

Specific platforms will differ from this, Steam usually has the update drop a few hours before this while Xbox and Switch tend to lag behind

[tiny vortex]

brothers.....question about tech and damage

[stuck berry]

Those only improve the Boltcaster

[tiny vortex]

why is that tech not doing anything? i know 1% is not much, but if i take it out....nothing goes down

[tiny vortex]

ooooh just that?

[stuck berry]

The sentinel/forbidden upgrades exclusively benefit the Boltcaster, they provide nothing for all other weapons

[tiny vortex]

😭

what about the stuff from the authophage?

just thinking if there is more tech i can put in the multitool that will rise the damage

[wet sigil]

The upgrade from autophage is an exosuit upgrade, not MT related

[tiny vortex]

oooow

still its a lot of damage, im pleased

[jagged pine]

guys, when usually update drops at what time of the day?

[stuck berry]

#nms-questions message

[jagged pine]

oh ty a lot

but the update going live itself might be earlier the same dayt, right?

[stuck berry]

Yes, for Steam it's almost always a few hours before then

other platforms always vary, sometimes nearly all platforms get it the same day

[dusk river]

you can have only 30 frigates right? so no real point keeping more than 5 of each role?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can only have up to 30 frigates

most either get 5 of each, or all support frigates, or all living frigates with their roles diversified

[jagged pine]

btw, there is now way to get more expedition missions during 1 day? it s always 5 missions per day?

[stuck berry]

It's always 5 frigate expeditions per day

[dusk river]

pirate frigates worth it?

or thats just combat

[tiny vortex]

i....dont get it.....
how come when i have 44k dmg i one shotd basic sentinels, and now that i have 56k it takes me 3 shots to kill them??????

[stuck berry]

Combat difficulty scaling

the better you get, the better they get

after certain points you can easily outdo this curve

[tiny vortex]

ooh that bullshit system.
How tough? i was basically at the peak of that weapons damage. No other tech to upgrade it

or maybe i should go back having 44k damage and call it a day lol

[stuck berry]

What weapon is it, and what does the layout look like?

[tiny vortex]

photon cannon, and it looks like that

[stuck berry]

That's... a Multi-Tool

[dusk river]

6 of each so could send actually good fleet on balanced missions

makes sence?

[tiny vortex]

are there....weapons in this game?

[stuck berry]

That does make sense, you could also make space for Living Frigates

[stuck berry]

The Photon Cannon is a Starship weapon, not a Multi-Tool weapon

[dusk river]

they just combat frigates?

[tiny vortex]

sry, meant Neutron Cannon

[stuck berry]

Ohhhh, for that I think you're doing the best you can

maybe move things above the SC slots, into like a square

[ashen kayak]

what.. am i experiencing?

[stuck berry]

like this

[ashen kayak]

some reverse gravity shit

[gleaming cipher]

Are you on an anomalous world?

[stuck berry]

Gravity inversion thing

[tiny vortex]

cant square it more....
So, at top damage im way worse than halfway there lol

[stuck berry]

You can though, maximizing adjacency to the supercharged modules

If you want more damage than this, utilize other supercharged slots

or possibly roll for slightly better upgrades (S neutron cannon ones are better)

[tiny vortex]

i understand the importance or supercharged but thats linked to the multitool, so ill have to grind like crazy to get a bit more damage that will get countered by the system and MAY end up even worse than now?

[ashen kayak]

yeah

[stuck berry]

actually, this layout seems to do really well for some reason

[stuck berry]

Possibly, moreso the damage they take will scale a bit further but you're probably already at some sort of cap

[tiny vortex]

so yeah, the system is fucked so i shall go back to 44k

sry, i get really angry when the "scales with you" systems comes into a game

[shrewd saddle]

Is there stuff locked behind the main story or am i free to explore right off the bat

[tiny vortex]

some stuff is locked

but not that much

ex: purple star systems

[shrewd saddle]

I heard you cant access some planets, does that mean i cant find them too?

[stuck berry]

Yes, those in purple systems

[shrewd saddle]

Sad

What about gass giants?

Or gas planets

[stuck berry]

Those are exclusive to purple star systems

[tiny vortex]

purple star systems xD

[shrewd saddle]

Ffs

[tiny vortex]

dragon....believe me....you want enough exosuit tech protection for those....and a lot others

this is me, runing for my life, believing 120 degrees celsius was a lot

how innocent i was

[shrewd saddle]

Cant wait to play again today tho

No rush

[shrewd saddle]

How did you get a red suit

[stuck berry]

You can recolor and reconfigure your suit at any Appearance Modifier, one is found aboard every Space Station

Each player usually begins the game with a random preset, one of only a few

[tiny vortex]

when you go to a space station, and the back end, you have an appearence modifier

[wheat cove]

I've definitely been on planets with 319C or so 😅

[tiny vortex]

When i started / Right now.
Like an Alegory to the change from a kid to an adult 🤔

[paper timber]

so letting the civilian fleet get destroyed in a dreadnought battle gives you an s class module?

[stuck berry]

Due to an oversight, yes

as the Pirate Dreadnought never technically surrenders if it wins but cannot flee

[paper timber]

is an atlantid multitool "design", the same in every system?

or is it per planet?

[swift sand]

e.g. mark a monolith, save+reload on any of the planets in the system to swap active pool. looks can/will change

[paper timber]

does the save+reload only reroll it once per monolith?

i tried it once and it switched

tried it again 2 times and its still the same

[swift sand]

reloading the same pool multiple times will result in the same tool popping on the same cabinet

gotta find more cabinets to check per pool to speed up the search

[paper timber]

ok so i save and reload once and if thats not to my liking i find another monolith?

[swift sand]

or reload on a diff planet+recheck same cabinet, till you've gone through all the planets and moons in the system

if you pre-mark multiple monoliths, you can check more than 1 tool per pool you've got active

[paper timber]

feels a lot more time consued to reload on a diff planet

[swift sand]

when you change to a pool, all cabinets in the system draw from that pool

[swift sand]

well, yes, but other pools can have cool stuff

up to you

[shrewd saddle]

Damn theres also custom suits 😮

[dreamy lark]

how long will it take for to fulfil my settlements debt?

[swift sand]

dont worry too much about it, it's not coming out of your pocket anyways

in short, it's not real time, it's game time

[dreamy lark]

ive been upgrading my building but it doesnt look like im fulfilling it

[dreamy lark]

ah i see

[swift sand]

to clear debt, productivity must be higher than maintenance cost, then debt starts going down

[dreamy lark]

i thought the game would snatch my money

[swift sand]

nah, you're fine, those are settlements finances

[dreamy lark]

alright

thank you for the answer

[swift sand]

np, anytime 🙂

[late quarry]

Are travellers on space stations so rare i've been trying to find em for around 2 hours and i couldnt find any are there any tips to find them?

[stuck berry]

Each space station either has them or doesn't, basically keep looking in different stations or just go do the main story instead which gives all 16 Portal Glyphs and is required to unlock later content #nms-commands message

[late quarry]

Okay thanks for the answer

[stuck berry]

Your welcome gabriel ultrakill slapping the shit out of me

[late quarry]

:d

[cyan void]

Good day everyone, is there any way I can find a paradise planet fast? I want to build a base since I removed my last one for some reason a week ago haha

[stuck berry]

Basically just warp to many different yellow star systems and scan planets, a freighter with a scanner room speeds this up a ton. You could also ask to be brought to someone else's paradise planet via multiplayer or portal travel

[alpine epoch]

lol

[cyan void]

Yellow systems? Any specific filter or just the base galaxy map? I luckily got the scanner already

[stuck berry]

Just any yellow system, aka any star with their stellar class beginning with F or G

you may prefer ones that don't have tier 3 conflict or tier 1 economy

[cyan void]

Which one is the stellar class?

[stuck berry]

The string of text after the distance

here it's "X9pf", the "9pf" part is meaningless and random

[cyan void]

Alright!

[stuck berry]

The initial letter tells you what color of star it is

[cyan void]

So that’s what those numbers are for hahaha

Thanks! I’ll let you know if I find a cool one!

I think I found a good system

I only got one jump left so I gotta hope for the best haha

[stuck berry]

You can always install hyperdrive upgrade modules to significantly improve fuel efficiency/warp range

You can purchase them from space station starship tech merchants, and install up to 3 of each type at a time (blueprint tech doesn't count towards this limit)

Each space station sells them at a different class, S-Class ones aren't rare but just slightly expensive

[cyan void]

Ah! Ill be doing that

Unlucky me, no paradise planet. I’m gonna check the rainy planet out tho

[cyan void]

Those are the best ones right?

[stuck berry]

Yes, S-Class is the best

[cyan void]

I’ll be looking out for those then for sure

[swift sand]

@cyan void since paradise is a rule applied to lush, and star bulb is the native plant of that biome, you could use catalog&guide/materials/plants to locate such a planet. it may not have the paradise rule applied, but it could potentially be storm free, or have non-hazardous storms

[cyan void]

Star bulb? I see a lot of those planets

Btw how do I upgrade my corvette class? Since i use it as my main starship haha

[swift sand]

space stations, starship outfitting terminal

[stuck berry]

At any Starship Outfitting Terminal using Nanites

See !faq-nanites in #nms-commands for nanite-making methods

[cyan void]

U Guys have FAQ’s for everything haha

I’ll be making a cool corvette first, since I keep making absolute abominations

[stuck berry]

You can always modify an existing corvette's design later too

[cyan void]

I know, but to be honest I’ll probably make the same thing again so it doesn’t really matter haha

My creativity isn’t really huge 😂

[stuck berry]

Neither is mine, and I made whatever this thing is

[cyan void]

That’s sick bro

I just can’t get my stuff to rotate to fit on the side of my corvette

So I just got a big cube

[late quarry]

It looks fire tbh

Mine is flat

[swift sand]

probably best to take this to #nms-corvette-discussion

[cyan void]

Yea no worries!

How can i find portals?

[wheat cove]

!faq-portal @twilit wing

[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

[twilit wing]

I have 2 options, Help with language and the other one, which is the right?

[wheat cove]

That sounds like a monument, not a monolith

(the wrong type of alien structures)

[wet star]

Seconded. Though the proper term, iirc, is "plaque."

[wheat cove]

Ah, yes, that's it

[twilit wing]

U mean Alien Monolith?

[wet star]

What you're interacting with right now is a plaque. You need a monolith.

Should've said on the HUD marker when you started coming this way.

[twilit wing]

I have an platform with an big spike on it

[wet star]

Target it with your analysis visor and relay what it says.

[twilit wing]

I have 2 options.
melt ice and Abond lifeform which is the right

Abandon*

[wet star]

What's the dominant race here? Try to think like them.

[twilit wing]

I need it for the starbirth quest

But i think Gek's would chose Abandon lifeform

Activate Portal or request this Plantes address?

[stuck berry]

activate portal

[twilit wing]

ok

[stuck berry]

also, place and claim a base computer at this portal so you can reuse it again later

[twilit wing]

Uhh i dont know the cords that i need can i leave the portal and look at the cords i need?

[stuck berry]

Yes, you can place and claim a base computer to enable you to teleport back to the portal whenever you wish

the Void Egg should be telling you the glyphs cryptically, they are trying to represent this sequence

[twilit wing]

Where can i find the translation of the glyphes to real words?

[cyan void]

Hola, how do I get freighter upgrades?

[stuck berry]

Freighter upgrade modules have a few sources, mainly destroying freighters or from the end of derelict freighters #nms-commands message
Salvaged Frigate Modules, the items used to unlock Freighter technology blueprints, have a few more niche sources that all depend on some amount of RNG #nms-questions message

[cyan void]

Ohh yea, I forgot I asked this before

😅

[dusk river]

what are exotic MTs good for?

[twilit wing]

FINALLY im in the final quest

[river canyon]

Scanner is their big bonus

That's the ping you send out to locate nearby plants and such, not scanning with the visor

[dusk river]

so does it make more units when scaning new creatures?

[twilit wing]

Grouch

[dusk river]

or just scans further

[stuck berry]

Just scans further when using the Scanner (not the Analysis Visor)

[twilit wing]

My next quest is Return to youre own reality via the Portal, i dont know where my portal is

[stuck berry]

It should mark the portal with a mission marker, if not then maybe go to the space station and teleport back home

[twilit wing]

I maked my home at the portal where i teleportet to the Starbirth planet

SPAC// ?TATION?

[swift sand]

abandoned system

[twilit wing]

It was my quest i can hatch the egg now

its in my Starship inventory, should i move it to my exosuit inventory

The cracking void egg

[dusk river]

worth switching?

[cyan void]

I’m planning on turning my freighter into a Gek Nip farm, but I don’t know how to plant the nip, how do I do it?

[cyan void]

Which one’s yours and which one is the one ur planning on trading?

[dusk river]

Utility one is mine obv

[stuck berry]

Just build it into cultivation chambers or double cultivation chambers. You need the blueprint for the plant itself too

[cyan void]

Is it this one but red?

[dusk river]

ya

[swift sand]

i'd keep it in suit; remember, after getting your LS, dump the remaining cracking void egg, to avoid causing issues further on

[dusk river]

Royal Exotic

[cyan void]

I’d say yes tbh. I really like mine

[twilit wing]

so just move it from my ship in my exo?

[cyan void]

I believe I got that, but idk how to build it in my freighter

[swift sand]

open build menu, select plant from build menu, aim at planting spot, build

[cyan void]

Oh wait I need the blueprint for the plant

Gimme a second then :)

[twilit wing]

Is every Living ship S?

I like the Ship very much, are there bad "skins"

Can i add more technologys to my ship?

[stuck berry]

Yes, #nms-questions message

[stuck berry]

That's purely cosmetic preference

[dusk river]

can someone drop that picture with MTs bonuses

[dusk river]

thank you

[cyan void]

I forgot how to her salvaged data, somehow. How do I get it again 😅

[dusk river]

dig it

[stuck berry]

Look for Buried Technology Modules using your Analysis Visor while on inhabited worlds

[earnest glen]

I’m new and was wondering how the hell do I get cosmetics, I don’t have anything cool except basic stuff

[stuck berry]

You can unlock some more by purchasing them from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion using Quicksilver #nms-commands message

Some other ones can be unlocked from specific secondary missions, like Dreams of the Deep, Under a Rebel Star and especially They Who Returned unlocking the ability to purchase many robotic options #nms-commands message

[dusk river]

i guess i need to split bettwen scanning and mining

if it would be class A exotic then yee but mining is better on pistol

[knotty frigate]

Does battling in the xeno league reward these guys?

[gray shoal]

U get egg for each max leage medal

[stuck berry]

They are Oceanus rewards for reaching certain objectives in the Milestones

Maxing each of these gives one I think

[knotty frigate]

Oh man I've been doing back alley fights apparently

[full plank]

Will there ever be smth Like Cargo Hauling? Where you like get the gravitino coil and corvezzr Parts and put Cargo on them?

[visual terrace]

What time does nms usually do their updates? Like mid day uk?

[dusk river]

f*** i just cant deside, do i look for class a exotic, upgrade this one or what

[exotic zenith]

Halp, nmse has all blank values when loading a save

[analog scroll]

Pick the one you like the looks of and add the upgrades you need. The bonuses can be mostly minimized by adding upgrades to what you want to use the tool for

[analog scroll]

#nms-modding might be a faster place to get an answer, but make sure you select your save after loading it. There's a dropdown

[dusk river]

estetics is really last part for me

[analog scroll]

Looks are truly all that matters when it comes to ships and tools. Pick the one(s) you like the most

[dusk river]

huh ... like type doesnt matter

[analog scroll]

Not really

[paper timber]

follow up question, how do exactly multitool type bonuses work? (staff for damage, atlantid for mining etc)?

[exotic zenith]

It's ok I was stoopid and didn't see the load button

[analog scroll]

There are some bonuses for each type, but they can be mostly overcome with upgrade modules

[dusk river]

https://discordapp.com/channels/146101654981312513/471868642204712971/1508818941890531410

[analog scroll]

The add on to each stat (other than scanning, which is only quick scan range) after each upgrade is processed

[dusk river]

arent they % so upgrades do a lot more?

[paper timber]

wait so staff doesnt have any bonus over sentinel multitools???

[analog scroll]

Min/maxing isn't a thing in NMS, which is a weird concept for some gamers. You will max out whatever you want to do pretty easily

[analog scroll]

Looks

[paper timber]

pretty much everyone i queried up until this point said that sentinels are good all round while staff is best for dps

[analog scroll]

They share the same bonus pool. Exactly the same. The only real difference is in looks. You will find tools that have a different bonus distribution, but not by much really

[paper timber]

yea i see now

im currently using atlantid for harvesting and scanning and staff for dps, seems optimal enough ig?

[analog scroll]

If you're happy with it, sure. Note that the scan bonus on multi tools is not a monetary bonus, it's quickscan range, which you will max out way before the bonus matters

[dusk river]

okey so which one of you is correct lol

[dusk river]

thats a thing in every game

[analog scroll]

Both. What I'm saying is that in a lot of cases the bonus doesn't matter because the upgrades can compensate in every case that does matter

[dusk river]

why compensate when you can min max lol

[analog scroll]

If you want to drive yourself to min/max, go ahead; but NMS isn't competitive so for the vast majority of players it makes no sense

[stuck berry]

More damage is only gonna save you like 0.4 seconds per pirate/sentinel, more maneuverability might be imperceptibly better at turning etc

[analog scroll]

Too much maneuverability can be a bad thing during flight too

[stuck berry]

With all the upgrades, there isn't anything that you can't do that min-maxing will enable

[stuck berry]

To my knowledge, that's only with unachievable values

Like installing multiple core/BP tech, or setting maneuverability bonus much higher than intended

[analog scroll]

We've seen it happen, though. Likely via mods/save edit, but we have seen people complain about it

[dusk river]

so whats your advice here @stuck berry ?

i trully dont care about looks, only performance, i like numbers and like them big

[stuck berry]

You'll be squeezing the juice box for drips and drops

and be locked into ship/tool designs that you won't like, found by other people

[dusk river]

found by other people?

[stuck berry]

Yes, as it would take years of time to find the most optimal ship/tool layouts/stat variations

and these would only make a few % difference in functional benefit really

[dusk river]

sounds fun to me

exploring and just running into a better tool

i just dont know what to do this time

are exotic class A MTs rare enough to justify upgrading this with nanites?

[cyan void]

I’m in a outlaw system, and somewhere when I’m doing a outlaw mission I get the message “pulse engine unavailable, Atlas Interference” but I don’t see anything

What can this possibly be

[paper timber]

where do you best find multi tool expansion slots?

[swift sand]

just a weird bug, keep boosting away till you're able to pulse

[analog scroll]

Scrapping other tools, missions, guild emissaries

[dusk river]

can i find anywhere how rare they are? must blind if its in wiki

[jagged pine]

guys, im planning to farm S class venators, new here. So I did 4 warps and I am on the corvetter I leave my cockpit to create a restore point and once I fight pirates and land on Venator freighter to find out what class it is, wouldn't I replace that restore point cuz I leave the cockpit anyway?

[swift sand]

check out <#nms-questions message>

[jagged pine]

ty

ooooh

[paper timber]

is scanner range optimal enough besides having x class modules?

any secondary item im missing?

[swift sand]

basically, same drop chance as other gear, 2% in t3, 5% in outlaw - thing is, class is the same across all pillars on the same planet. personally, i'd just farm the nanites in like 30min and be done with it

[swift sand]

yeah, you're good

[swift sand]

i'd supercharge 2 scanner modules though

[paper timber]

not the scanner itself?

[swift sand]

right, not the scanner itself

[paper timber]

any particular reason?

[swift sand]

if you were trying to build for quick scan pulse, you'd want to SC waveform recycler because of shorter cooldown. if not, SC'ing s-class modules will be better because of higher scanning rewards, possibly pushed through the roof using nutrient ingestor

nutrient ingestor, pushing it through the roof

[paper timber]

ah so SC'ing the scanner itself only boosts range and quick scan mostly?

i see

[paper timber]

yea i saw a video about this

will look into it

[swift sand]

that image was using 1 s-class scanner bottom of the barrel roll supercharged+nectar islands, not 3 sc'd+nectar islands

so it can go even higher

[dusk river]

ahh so thats how i found 2 identical exotics in a row

best way to farm nanites?

or lets say, least repetitive

[swift sand]

large amounts, imo, either sus packets tech/arms or salvaged glass farming - but these are repetitive, salvaged glass less so i'd say

[dusk river]

so pretty much go bully sentinels

[paper timber]

does supercharging the nutrient ingestor boost the results?

[swift sand]

keep it at wanted level 3, always leave a summoner alive

[swift sand]

nope, fixed there

[paper timber]

ok ty!

[swift sand]

have fun

[paper timber]

thanks!

can i edit what kind of flora is grown in my cultivation chamber?

is there a galaxy that has a higher rate of s class interceptors

[steel ginkgo]

mb, misunderstood the message

[swift sand]

see image:

[swift sand]

when you teleport into the settlement, does it teleport you to the middle of the settlement, or to the admin building?

[steel ginkgo]

it never teleported me

[swift sand]

goto a station teleporter, teleport to the settlement

[steel ginkgo]

it was a random message intercept that i got

lemme try that

wait, settlement, does that mean i'll need to create a portal or will it just let me teleport directly to the settlement

[swift sand]

the latter

[steel ginkgo]

mkay gona check

[swift sand]

@steel ginkgo gek settlement admin building at c-class should look something like - try using visor as well

[steel ginkgo]

teleports me straight to the settlement hub's interface

am i fucked

says the building is directly at the hub interface, yet visor states the admin panel is on the field on the left, where there is nothing

[swift sand]

aim visor at these icons around the settlement have you done that?

[steel ginkgo]

yep, all checked, no admin building like your picture

[swift sand]

are you using any mods?

nope, this is first time playing

settlement didn't generate any building with that look
