[hasty sierra]

Thank you, do you have a guess on when it will be on xbox?

[swift sand]

my guess would be next week

but we're all just players here so we dont really know/unable to confirm for sure

@hasty sierra suggestion: follow #nms-announcements and #nms-news-ticker

[hollow coral]

Hopefully before xmas

[fallow reef]

If I have my main save on xbox gamepass PC and I buy NMS on steam, am I able to load that save on the steam version?

[stuck berry]

if you upload it via cross save, yes

https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

make sure to do that before losing access to the Xbox version

Just connect both accounts to HG, then open the Xbox version and upload the save(s), then close that and open the Steam version to download the save(s)

[drowsy crescent]

Heyy, I'm sooo done. I'm desperately trying to trigger the Pirate Frigate Event but whenever I enter a Pirate controlled Galaxy, there's only a Pirate I have to hunt (every single time, no system without it)

is it bugged?

[stuck berry]

1. Are you in the expedition?

2. do you both: own a freighter, and have encountered two freighter battles so far on this save?

[drowsy crescent]

The current expedition event? no, not yet and only had one encounter/fight

are two necessary?

...

[stuck berry]

Yes, I just listed the two prerequisites to encounter Pirate Dread Events #nms-questions message

[drowsy crescent]

Everywhere I've read only one encounter is necessary...

[stuck berry]

Well you need two, always have

[drowsy crescent]

Thanks for the help :D

[stuck berry]

before 4.40 in 2023, you needed only one encountered so far Capital freighters to replace system ones in freighter battles, but now you need 2 encountered so far

[fallow reef]

Thank you, it keeps saying "Unfortunately there was an error linking your Microsoft account." though

But I have steam linked now

[stuck berry]

Well you'll have to link your microsoft account somehow

[fallow reef]

Rip

[stuck berry]

could use a save editor to transfer the save as an alternative

[polar acorn]

So I swapped my main ships and now all my cargo and upgrades are gone. Is that normal? And if so, HOW DO I REVERT IT?

[stuck berry]

Swapped in what way, like exchanged it for another ship?

[polar acorn]

I swapped when I fixed a sentinel ship

It says to either just take it or swap

[stuck berry]

When claiming it, did you click Claim or Exchange

[polar acorn]

exchange

[stuck berry]

Are you still near the crash site?

[polar acorn]

Yes

[stuck berry]

If so, you could go interact with your old ship to claim that back

[polar acorn]

it’s shown as a broken one tho

[stuck berry]

unless it was a corvette in which it may not linger

then maybe it's being buggy, idk

[polar acorn]

aw man

[stuck berry]

you could reload a save if you have one from before

[polar acorn]

ok

[stuck berry]

(haven't entered+exited starship since)

[polar acorn]

uh oh

I kinda entered the new one already

so

[fallow reef]

Yeah im not able to connect my microsoft account gg

[molten slate]

Guys, how do you copy the ship from the main save in this expedition? I have Nanito but it never becomes available.

[stuck berry]

Then you could transfer it using a save editor like https://github.com/vectorcmdr/NMSE

[stuck berry]

Can't in Expedition 22: The Swarm

we can only copy our multitool

[spark lichen]

what do i do

[molten slate]

But I saw people with spacecraft from previous expeditions.

[stuck berry]

Portal to the coordinates it's trying to communicate to you

[stuck berry]

You can claim those from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion, like any other save

those aren't copies though, they're the original ship claimed for the first time on that save

[spark lichen]

wdym sorry

[coral gorge]

whats the difference between expeditions and normal games as im so confused doing this expedition

[stuck berry]

!faq-portal @spark lichen

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[stuck berry]

Locate a portal in Euclid Galaxy, input those glyphs (given you have 12 of the 16 Portal Glyphs unlocked #nms-commands message)

[raw kestrel]

Did Mein Kampfsoft release the update yet?

Damn microslopies

[spark lichen]

alr thanks bro

[stuck berry]

You follow a somewhat linear thing of objectives to unlock rewards that help you progress and do following objectives, with big phase rewards giving stuff that can be claimed on all saves

[raw kestrel]

Quick question can it only be ontained once you ynlock the anomaly?

[stuck berry]

Can what only be obtained after that?

[raw kestrel]

Expedition rewards

On new save

[stuck berry]

You can only claim those on other saves after reaching the Space Anomaly, yes, as that's where you claim them

[raw kestrel]

Ok

[stuck berry]

from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion

[coral gorge]

so i since ive done what i can for the next 8 hours on this save for the expedition i can go onto my normal save and it will give rewards for the expedition? sorry first expedition ive done even though ive played for years

[stuck berry]

You can go back to your main save and claim the phase rewards for phases 1 and 2, if you claimed those in the expedition, yes

[potent coral]

Is The Swarm on switch 1 yet?

[stuck berry]

stay tuned to #nms-news-ticker to know when it has released there

[abstract lion]

amma ask here- if i accept payment for the first freighter, is the next one still free

[obsidian nova]

Yes

[stuck berry]

Saved freighters will be free forever, until you own a freighter

[obsidian nova]

It's free until you actually take one

[abstract lion]

okay

cuz it's a b class short box and i really didn't want it XD

is there a way to fix me beaming in to my corvette facing the wall instead of towards the cockpit

[proper plank]

Whats the best way to make money as a beginner???

[spark lichen]

i can send you a few billion, whats your code

[obsidian nova]

That's the boring route

[proper plank]

Alright I'm loading up the game

[visual terrace]

Do I need to do anything special to leave and reenter the expedition?

[spark lichen]

you replying to me ?

[obsidian nova]

No, just use the expedition terminal

[obsidian nova]

Correct. Giving them money will teach them nothing.

[spark lichen]

alr ill teach them

or show them atleast

makes sense

[proper plank]

My code is kj230f93c2ysa

[obsidian nova]

Show them how to make units, instead of just giving them things to sell

[spark lichen]

add mine too, its in my username

[spark lichen]

yeye

[proper plank]

K

Added

[obsidian nova]

Cause honestly, once you can afford literally everything without ever worrying about units, it gets boring fast.

Trust me

[restive hawk]

Regarding machines that need power, can you theoretically somehow link the power from a generator to the device needing power, pertaining to a electromagnetic generator to a gas extractor

Need to know the power transfer stuff

[proper plank]

Did u want me to host a new session??

[spark lichen]

not at all, why would you want to worry, its a game.

meant to chill and have fun ygm

[restive hawk]

100 what I earned is pure selling… downside is half my tech breaks getting the good stuff

[obsidian nova]

Use electric cables

[spark lichen]

send ur code again pls u sent it wrong

maybe i typed it wrong tho

[proper plank]

Ok one sec

[restive hawk]

Do they extend far out or smth?

[obsidian nova]

You may need to use batteries

As relays

[restive hawk]

You read or I read your mind

[wheat cove]

No, you can just "stop" the wire, then connect another wire to the end

[restive hawk]

That was precisely my guess how to make that work

[restive hawk]

A more cheaper idea

[obsidian nova]

Yeah

[wheat cove]

You only need to use batteries for solar panels, really

[restive hawk]

But what if I don’t have my base nearby, will I be able to place the cable?

[proper plank]

Kj230f9ec2ysa

[wheat cove]

Your base needs to be within 1000u - by default it's about 300u radius, but you can extend it out by placing building parts at intervals

[spark lichen]

added, join me and come to the anomaly

[proper plank]

Ok I'm joining

[wheat cove]

I usually walk out with a floor selected, when it says I can't place it because the base is out of range, walk back until it's in range then place the floor, repeat

[restive hawk]

Wait if you build out further then your base presumed circle, it’ll extend the base range?

[visual terrace]

How many individual missions do you need to do to complete the expedition? Non community portion

[wheat cove]

Up to 1,000 from where you originally activated the base computer, yes

[restive hawk]

And how many bases can you have at a time

Or at all really

[wheat cove]

400

[restive hawk]

Shit. Google wasn’t lying. That’s insane, Thats individual computers too?

[wheat cove]

Yep

[restive hawk]

Jesus that’s insanity but good to verify. Lastly

The hotspots for any of the things… they last a while or forever or are some limited, I must know

[wheat cove]

Hotspots are unlimited

[restive hawk]

My gas collection problems shall be solved

No longer waiting for gas to produce at a… ah condenser

When making a bunch of stuff for one of the staff parts I legit waited almost 60+60 minutes each. I was planning gas extraction operations

[languid fractal]

Hello, badly need help. I'm trying to get a pirate freighter from a pirate system but the fight won't spawn. Every system i go to has a freighter fight except pirate systems (and empty and atlas systems).

[restive hawk]

You going to the skull ones?

[proper plank]

Thank you

[restive hawk]

I got mine today, thankfully it was a good find, think it was purple

The star was

[abstract lion]

is there a method to get ship upgrades semi quick?

the inventory upgrades

[wheat cove]

This is the FAQ for pirate dreadnoughts: #nms-questions message

It lists the prerequisites

[languid fractal]

is this specific for outlaw/pirate systems? because i encountered one instance of a pirate freighter vs normal one that is in a normal system. then i reloaded and tried to go to a pirate system again and no freighter fight spawned. tried to go to another pirate system and no spawn also.

[balmy plume]

Hey quick question, is there any way to transfer save data from Xbox to PC?

Specifically the Steam version.

[restive hawk]

I wonder that too

[hollow coral]

Yes

[stuck berry]

Via cross save https://cloud.nomanssky.com/cross-save

[wheat cove]

You may have encountered one of the guaranteed rescue event systems, which bypasses the normal rescue event requirements of 3 hours of unpaused gameplay and 5 warps.

[restive hawk]

That’s awesome, thought about switching to pc one day… maybe

[balmy plume]

Thank you very much.

[stuck berry]

Keep in mind that 20% of Outlaw Systems and 10% of High-Conflict Systems have a property that makes them always have a Pirate Dreadnought Event occur when warped to via starship, completely ignoring/skipping the cooldown. That system may have been one of the high conflict ones

[proper plank]

Where do u buy different space ships

[balmy plume]

Additional question, do I have to open the game on Xbox after turning this on?

[stuck berry]

Regardless, pirate dread events are not exclusive to that method. They fully replace the battles of all outlaw systems, most tier 3 conflict, some tier 2 conflict and few tier 1 conf systems

[balmy plume]

Cause I never owned NMS on xbox, I only had it through game pass...

[stuck berry]

To upload the save, yes

[balmy plume]

Ah...

That is... unfortunate.

[languid fractal]

guaranteed like every system except pirate/empty?

[stuck berry]

Not all systems are like that, see my message that describes the mechanic #nms-questions message

Only 20% of outlaw systems and 10% of tier 3 conflict systems have that, and they only have it if you qualify for pirate dread events to occur at all

[wheat cove]

If you're able to warp to multiple non-pirate systems and get a battle, and never in a pirate system, that sounds like a bug

[languid fractal]

literally this

every other system that isnt pirate i get a fight.

[restive hawk]

Do tech installments stack their effects in the respective inventories?

[balmy plume]

Ah it appears NMS is off game pass now too...

[stuck berry]

Yes, tech installed in the same inventory stacks

[balmy plume]

Guess I'll just make a new save on PC

Thanks regardless.

[stuck berry]

You can install up to 3 upgrade modules per type, this limit doesn't include blueprint tech

[restive hawk]

Does the length of the battery increase, does it effectiveness increase too?

[languid fractal]

i understand this actually, but i tried to go to a pirate system reported to have a 100% spawn rate, no luck either (maybe rerolled from a patch or something idk tbh)

[stuck berry]

What?

[stuck berry]

Did not reroll

[abstract lion]

can you get ship storage upgrades from pirates?

[stuck berry]

Has been consistent since 4.40, the update that added this mechanic

[restive hawk]

If you make three toxic hazard things, would you essentially have a longer charge before needing to recharge?

[languid fractal]

so am i just bugged? because its not that i didnt get the pirate freighter fight, just not in pirate systems.

[stuck berry]

Could have had the properties move, maybe 6.40 changed something but I haven't seen any reports of it working differently

[wheat cove]

No, you get 3 separate shields (requiring separate charging)

[stuck berry]

Maybe, idk. I'll investigate tomorrow but since they moved so many pirate dread battle properties maybe that did actually change even if by accident

[restive hawk]

Do the shields atleast stack?

[wheat cove]

But only 1 ticks down at a time, so in effect it's a longer shield

[restive hawk]

So it’s worth the tech space for a shield that lasts longer?

[languid fractal]

i see. thanks for the help

[stuck berry]

Theres nothing else to install in suit tech slots, we have space for everything

At the max of 60 at least

But only one of each rechargeable hazard protection thing is enough really

[wheat cove]

Unless you're on a really hazardous planet for a trek 😄

[abstract lion]

that's like 90% of them

the universe really wants us dead

[restive hawk]

I guess it can’t be helped… I been on some worlds that hurt. With awful terrain

And some people discover the before I do so they kinda or really don’t find out

[spark lichen]

why cant i invite anyone its greyed out

im online and in multiplayer too etc

[obsidian nova]

Do you have PlayStation Plus?

[raw kestrel]

Is update on xbox uet

[summer lantern]

Why does my (ship) weapons sometimes lock to a target within an area of my cursor, and sometimes it just doesnt? Is there a way to prevent it from not locking-in?

[raw kestrel]

Alt f4 fixes that

[inner wedge]

Do not listen to that

I think it depends on what weapon you’re using

[summer lantern]

Tried that, it melted my cpu into a pile of molten glass last time i did it

[inner wedge]

Unless they change that recently

[summer lantern]

Infra knife

the first time shooting at a target it snaps in neatly

when i lose sight of it and get it back in my sights it turns full manual, effectively

[raw kestrel]

Drink the hlass be one with the sentinels

[shut sonnet]

if i were to swap to the omega expedition would i lose my progress in the swarm expedition \

[summer lantern]

Last time i tried that I could only see the number 16 for 16 weeks

[steep cairn]

I play NMS on Xbox but for some reason I haven't gotten The Swarm update. My games version is 3.36 but the current update is version 3.4.....why did Xbox not get the update?

[inner wedge]

Omega? Are you playing with mods? I think they’ll be some conflict if you try to update to play the recent expedition

[raw kestrel]

Do it again for free nanites

[shut sonnet]

i was considering using mods to swap to a different expedition but i dont want to risk losing my progress in the expedition or my main save

[raw kestrel]

Ya pc players hhace it easy with ur little mods

[inner wedge]

I wanna say you probably be will fine. But I’m not familiar with mods. Try asking in the #nms-modding

[shut sonnet]

yes we do 🙂

[shut sonnet]

will do thanks for the help

[spark lichen]

my game jus crashed and i loaded back on and it worked

[scenic quail]

where do i sell items

[hollow coral]

Cause Microsoft are SLOOOOOOW at checking and releasing patches

[brazen plume]

Still no

[scenic quail]

lesson sell ur console n buy a pc

[brazen plume]

Xbox update probably won't be out till tomorrow

[woven ginkgo]

Why when I build on my friends base does what I built disappear instantly and take my resources?
All network settings are set, base computer shows unlocked, we have tried with things set to all, I can removed parts of his base but not place...

Have tried restarting out games, haveing a different host, etc etc

[inner wedge]

In the space stations. When you go to the teleporter, and the other wall is a Galactic trader. You can also buy the blueprint at the anomaly to place it in the base. Sometimes when you pulse you’ll get a starship trying to trade with you. Sometimes they land while you’re on the planet. There’s a big trade structure on planets, but you have to find those

[scenic quail]

im already in a space station but i cant find npc to sell anything

[inner wedge]

I should actually be more diligent. What are you selling?

Also, it’s not an NPC it’s mounted on the wall

[hollow coral]

Thanks for advice, im on pc already, binned my series x many moons ago, due to collecting dust

[woven ginkgo]

is building on friends bases just bugged?

[inner wedge]

Make sure your friends base settings are on friends only

[scenic quail]

and some other stuff that r making my storage full

[hollow coral]

Bottom floor, in middle, on left i think, big blue circle thing on wall

[woven ginkgo]

weve tried everyone, friends only and friends and group

and I can remove from their base but if I try building it just disappears and takes my resources

[inner wedge]

Yeah, they’re in the space stations mounted on the wall on the opposite of the teleporter. They look like this.

[scenic quail]

i found it ty all

[normal surge]

Is there a star wars game similar to NMS?

[inner wedge]

Have they actually uploaded their base to the actual base computer?

[hollow coral]

Sorry no clue, ive no friends to test it

[woven ginkgo]

yeah they have uploaded

[scenic quail]

should i sell this

idk what can i use it for

[scenic quail]

its so hard to find ppl to play with in this game

[inner wedge]

The only thing I would suggest is maybe try both of you reloading. Make sure you’re in a group. Make sure you have online on. Make sure the actual base settings in the base are on friends

[woven ginkgo]

have tried all of that D:

[inner wedge]

Just recheck the settings again to make sure.

There’s base settings and then there’s network settings

Both are different things

[hollow coral]

They online at same time?

[woven ginkgo]

yeah

[woven ginkgo]

the base settings arent in the network settings?

these

were online and in the same group

[inner wedge]

No, that’s it. Also, how far are you from the base computer?

[woven ginkgo]

base computer says that its unlocked, the building is right next to it

[inner wedge]

Make sure your friend also has those settings

[woven ginkgo]

We even made sure our settings are idential for everything in network just to make sure D:

[inner wedge]

OK, how big are these bases? There is a parts limit

[woven ginkgo]

tiny

like a 2x2 room with a generator portal and refinery

[hollow coral]

You in same group and instance?

[woven ginkgo]

yup

standing right next to them

[hollow coral]

No clue should work

[woven ginkgo]

theres 4 of us and its not working for any of us, have tried on 2 seperate bases

[inner wedge]

Are you positive It’s been uploaded? Maybe try uploading it again

[woven ginkgo]

yeah we tried uploading again

[hollow coral]

Get owner maybe to save n reload game

[inner wedge]

The only other thing I can think of is rendering issues between you guys

Basically, computer stuff

[woven ginkgo]

yeah its very odd, we have tried all restarting out games

and tried different hosts for the party

[inner wedge]

You can try asking again later to see if anyone else can help you. But we went through all the options

[hollow coral]

All got each other in friends list?

[woven ginkgo]

If we are in the main menu we are all on each other friends list, in game all our friends lists are empty

even after trying to readd each other

[hollow coral]

Shouldnt matter though, in my experience, although last i built with someone was a year ago

[woven ginkgo]

yeah we players back in 2022 and had no issues with it

[inner wedge]

Wait, I just thought of something

Are you guys doing the expedition?

Actually, I don’t think that would matter

[hollow coral]

Might do, as cant do other stuff like get corvettes

And especially if in different teams

[inner wedge]

Yeah, but the whole part of this expedition is multiplayer. But maybe maybe

[hollow coral]

Yer but its team vs team

[inner wedge]

Are any of you guys doing the expedition?

[woven ginkgo]

yeah we are doing expedition

[hollow coral]

Might not allow cooperation between teams

[woven ginkgo]

ahh

[inner wedge]

Oh, that might be it

[woven ginkgo]

thats kinda rough

[inner wedge]

I’m assuming you guys are on different teams, right?

[hollow coral]

Im only guessing

[woven ginkgo]

different teams?

[inner wedge]

What color are you and your friends?

[woven ginkgo]

like, in the group menu?

[inner wedge]

No, your character

[hollow coral]

Weaver royal n the other one

[woven ginkgo]

ahhh

yeah potentially

[tough lark]

Anyone know how rare sky islands are on paradise planets?

[woven ginkgo]

how can we check what we are for the expedition

[hollow coral]

Im at work, cant remember name

[woven ginkgo]

sage?

[hollow coral]

Yep

Your clothes should be a certain colour after a certain objective

And that corresponds to the team you are in

[woven ginkgo]

ok cool yeah im green, I think someone else in the team is also Ill see if they can build and I can build there, otherwise it might be the expedition even if we are the same team?

[hollow coral]

Its possiblly that, but im guessing, only way to know is to make a save in normal/creative maybe and see if same issue

[inner wedge]

They are rare. They’re only a small part percentage of paradise planets. And even then, paradise plants are sometimes hard to find

[tough lark]

Thx

[woven ginkgo]

Awesome thanks for you help guys 😄

[inner wedge]

You have a better chance in paradise galaxies like Eissentam and also checking yellow stars

[tough lark]

I've been warping for about 20 minutes now and only found 2 paradise planets. I think it's because I'm in Odyalutai.

I'll head to Eissentam and try there

[median trout]

Why is Odyalutai unreachable through normal means? Wiki says something about Atlas rises but nothing else

[inner wedge]

It was removed by hello games when they were doing the update to Atlas rises. Something about corrupting saves or whatever

[keen jay]

if i build base on gas giant will it be destroyed from tornado?

[spark lichen]

im in a friends game but i cant go to them theyre in a different galaxy how do i get to them

theyre in a space station

[worthy olive]

Hey guys, my game looks like a powerpoint and my CPU and Memory wont surpass 50%. I wanna see the stars but not like this 😭

[inner wedge]

Usually joining their game teleports you to them. You could try leaving and then rejoining

[spark lichen]

still doesnt work

[fresh birch]

Is there a way to turn off the title screens of planets when disembarking a ship?

[glossy dock]

im done with it for now? just need to wait to do the other missions?

[inner wedge]

Are either of you doing the expedition?

[fresh birch]

There’s a hold to skip button but it’s getting annoying

[inner wedge]

Yeah, you’re done for now. Just head back to the anomaly every now and then to do more missions

[spark lichen]

no

normal game

[inner wedge]

As far as I know, there is not

[fresh birch]

Bummer. Thank you

[inner wedge]

Oh, okay okay. Maybe try inputting your friend’s glyphs in a portal. They would have to land on the planet, though

[spark lichen]

dunno how to do that lol

[inner wedge]

OK, first things first have you unlocked all the glyphs?

[spark lichen]

yh

dont matter now tho

[inner wedge]

Why would it not matter? That’s the way the way you can get to them

The only other thing is have them join you

[outer sky]

Does anyone know what to do if your cloud save just stops working for the game? I keep trying but it won't save my progress and it got rid of my previous play through :/

[mossy sage]

Any possible way to get Aeron corvette parts? (im looking to get all corvette parts in game)

[inner wedge]

Only from another player giving it to you

[mossy sage]

Does that unlock it perment?

[inner wedge]

No, if you didn’t do the expedition, you wouldn’t get the blueprints for it

[mossy sage]

So im just cooked?

Stuck with basic builds?

[inner wedge]

You can try asking in #nms-lfg-or-trades see if anyone would just give you the parts

[mossy sage]

Ok bet

[coral gorge]

so i started playing the steam version to play the new expedition, and then when ive got as far as i can at the moment i went to play the regular and i have just reached the anomaly but upon attempting to claim the rewards it made me lauch a new expedition save any idea what causes this, and now i cant find where my regular save is

does anyoe knwo what i do

[inner wedge]

You should be able to go back to your regular save. Head back to the expedition terminal and then there should be an option “return to primary save”

[coral gorge]

thank you, just spent 4 hours getting to a comfortable start, and thought i just lost it all lol

[atomic drift]

The option to return to your primary save is also available in your options right under your save data.

To re enter the expedition you do need to go to the terminal in the anomaly.

[coral gorge]

OMG thank you, i though i was gonna need to redo the entire phase 1 to get back lol

[wise pilot]

Hello. How to disable Menu movements when I moving a mouse?

It's bad for my health.

I dont found settings for this in a accessibility section of settings

[summer lantern]

Is the questline to get to purple systems available during the expedition?

[inner wedge]

I don’t think it is

[summer lantern]

rip, thanks

[sharp patio]

anyone know how to fix my game stuttering? My pc specs are decent so i shouldnt be having issues but the game stutters, and i noticedd that even tho i have the game limited to 90 fps the framerate keeps jumping around and sometimes goes up to like 400 its very weird

i already looked at a reddit post that said to do this but it didnt fix it

[dreamy lark]

whats stellar classes on systems

[polar acorn]

I have two extra harmonic brains, what do I do with them?

[spark lichen]

what are some valuable items/sought after items

[mossy lotus]

what's your pc specs

[sharp patio]

RTX 4060, Ryen 5 7600X, 32GB DDR5

[mossy lotus]

yea that should not be having that big of an issue

[sharp patio]

it somehow runs better on my steam deck

lower framerate but no stutters

[mossy lotus]

can you run the game just fine most of the time and then it suddenly screws itself up randomly?

or is is consistently bad

[sharp patio]

i can only run it fine if i set all the graphics setttings to minimum which i shouldnt have to

otherwise yeah it constantly stutters

[vapid sun]

where the hell are the star bulbs in this expedition?

[mossy lotus]

personally I just bought em off the galactic trade in an outpost, was way faster than finding em

[vapid sun]

oh snap!

[mossy lotus]

alright. can you go in in NVIDIA and find the setting for the low latency mode and tell me if that's currently set to ultra?

[mossy lotus]

yea I looked around quite a bit for it and never actually found any

[sharp patio]

nope, just to on

[mossy lotus]

shit. ultra low latency is known to cause problems with vulkan games, but now... huh

also what resolution do you run the game in?

[sharp patio]

i never run vsync in games cause i have nvidia G sync on my monitor, but i noticed it says triple buffered minimizes stutters so im gonna try that

[sharp patio]

3440x1440

[mossy lotus]

oh. that might be it right there

the 4060's 8 gb of VRAM is probably having a stroke with 1440p

[sharp patio]

i have no issues with that in other games

much more intensive games

[mossy lotus]

NMS is just a special child in terms of performance

it eats up the entirety of my 12gb too

in 1440p

[sharp patio]

like ive been playing death stranding 2 and forza 6 idk how a game from 2016 is giving me more issues

[median trout]

Does supercharged affect launch autocharger? And does autocharger work in Atlas ships?

[sharp patio]

dang

[mossy lotus]

can you try just lowering the textures and leaving the rest as is and see if that fixes it?

texture resolution is usually the biggest offender for vram

[sharp patio]

i have them on enhanced cause standard looked very blurry but alr

[tough lark]

Is there a way to get the Starborn Phoenix ship if I'm on console?

[mossy lotus]

oh, with textures already at enhanced I can't imagine that being a vram problem

[sharp patio]

i guess ill just play with the graphics at minimum, i mean its not a game i play for the visuals anyway, but i really dont think i should be having to do that considering i can run forza horizon 6 at high graphics

[mossy lotus]

yeah I don't think you should HAVE to do that either

I'm also currently having weird performance problems with NMS, and I have a 5070

[median trout]

Its gotta be a clash between software and hardware or something ive got graphics at enhanced on a gtx 970 and an amd 8350 and have no performance issues so I cant imagine its a specs/optimization issue.

[sharp patio]

yeah definitely

[warm stump]

Quick question is there any way to find the hotrod righter parts, other than sit in the space station for 2 hours like I have 😂

[upper hawk]

Is dioxide considered a mineral or a gas?

[earnest glen]

Do I have to complete the main quest line or something to spawn dreadnought? I’m in the system that it supposedly infinite spawns but no matter how many pirate systems I warp to nothing

I have freighter btw

[hollow coral]

you need to have done at least 2x freighter battles and own a freighter

[earnest glen]

I’m newish only battle I’ve been in I think is when I got my freighter and the others Is fighting the pirates in starships every time i warp into galaxies with pirate

[hollow coral]

yer you need to have done 2x freighter battles, so sounds like you need to do another timed one before they will spawn in that system

thats the only pre-requitsite

[earnest glen]

And the battle is when you get a frequency to protect a freighter or whatever right ?

[hollow coral]

yes

[upper hawk]

there are systems where it infinitely spawns?

Ngl i want to trade my venator in for that

[earnest glen]

Supposedly there’s bases in the whole damn system where I keep going too from the video

[hollow coral]

yes but there are pre-requisites before they will spawn in those systems. If he hasnt done those, they wont spawn for him

[upper hawk]

ive done probably a few of those a while back. do i need to do them in that system?

and likewise, is radon useful for anything in the game?

[hollow coral]

no, all you need is own a freighter, and to have completed 2x timed ie 3hr 5 warp freighter battles

[hollow coral]

I think its used to make advanced crafting stuff

[upper hawk]

so 2 freighter battles in 3 hours and 5 warps? alright. And do you happen to know what those systems are/their portal coordinates?

[hollow coral]

no, regular freighter battles have a 3 hr timer and 5 warps between them

not 2 in 3 hrs and 5 warps

[earnest glen]

@upper hawk

[upper hawk]

Thanks

the roamer portal method is sooo goated

[untold plover]

Im new to the game and am wondering how many hours it would take to start a corvette build atleast with how long it would take to get the credits?

Also its just because i want to build a razer crest

[upper hawk]

a little bit

i built my corvette at 50 hours but i was fooling around for most of it

[spark lichen]

how to trade corvettes ?

or give a friend corvette ?

[atomic drift]

Can’t trade a physical corvette already built, you would need to trade them the parts.

Corvettes are stored primarily in two places, as a ship file (containing the stats, tech, slots, storage ect) and as a player base, the player base is the model/build you create when making the corvette.

Trading a corvette to another player how you would with a regular ship doesn’t work, even if the ship didn’t disappear after trading the base wouldn’t transfer and they would just get a base corvette model.

If you genuinely wanted to give someone your corvette, you’d need to give them the playerbase file of the ship.

[tropic ginkgo]

the service bot offers corvette trading so it's doable

[atomic drift]

Correct, but this shouldn’t be confused for trading nor used to say it’s generally “doable” it builds the corvette when it delivers it.

But it does add an additional method, upload the ship you want to trade for another to download.

Just be mindful of uses per month.

[upper hawk]

zHow do you get a dreadnaught to spawn in this system? do warp out then warp back in?

[glass anchor]

hello!
i have two questions:

1. i started my first expedition yesterday (through the terminal in the anomaly on my main save), and upon reaching the anomaly from inside the expedition, i was allowed to copy my multi-tool, but i cannot seem to copy my ship at all. there is no error message or anything, and also, the name of the ship is wrong. my primary ship is a salvaged sentinel interceptor, could that be the reason?
2. after updating, i have jumped through roughly 20 pirate systems and have gotten no encounters with a dreadnought. has the rarity been modified or am i just unlucky? (it's been >3 hours since i last opened the game, so it can't be the cooldown)

[upper hawk]

.

ive already saved like a few freighters. I may not have recieved any payment for a couple but i did save a few

[quick elk]

you cant copy ships on this expedition and try warping to high-combat systems for the dreadnaught encounters

[glass anchor]

thank you!

also, i have done that, i've been warping exclusively to high-conflict and pirate systems

[quick elk]

ah, then im not sure how to trigger a dreadnaught, sorry

see link on how to locate pirate freighters

[dusky swallow]

Is there a way to specifically find and locate paradise planets

[wide venture]

Any ideas when swarm update will go live on Xbox?

[dusky swallow]

I’ve only found one classified paradise planet and it was NOT. a paradise

[obsidian nova]

No news yet. Watch #nms-news-ticker

[wide venture]

Apparently the calypso galaxy is full of them

[dusky swallow]

Bet thank you

[obsidian nova]

And Essentiam

Iirc

[glass anchor]

i already have a pirate freighter, the issue is, i crave more space combat, and so i don't have the benefit of the guaranteed battle spawn

[obsidian nova]

@dusky swallow Yellow Stars are also the most likely to have Paradise Planets.

[glass anchor]

nvm, just got a dreadnought event! wonderful (took 4 minutes to beat)

[ashen kayak]

according to the internet every system has 1 exotic ship in the pool they use to spawn them.
i see some solars sometimes. do they count as said exotic or it would specifically say exotic ?

[obsidian nova]

No, Solars are not Exotics

Solars are their own class

[ashen kayak]

i see, thanks

[obsidian nova]

Exotics will typically either have a Ball-like cockpit, or a squid shape

[royal mason]

is there anything built into the game that can get me out of a box i fell into and cant get out of? my ship isn't nearby to enter and it wont let me summon anything, even tried killing myself and it just brings me back to life in the box again

[pallid tiger]

box?

as in someone's else base?

[royal mason]

its part of a trade outpost, i saved ontop of it and when i loaded in i fell inside the walls

[obsidian nova]

Try reloading again?

[royal mason]

unfortunately the autosave and the fixed save synced. everytime i loaded in id fall down again

[obsidian nova]

Try to load and hold the jump button?

Might be fast enough to boost out

[royal mason]

i did try that with no luck..unfortunately that boat sailed after i killed myself and reloaded a bunch of times...ive lost the original point where i fall in.

[tropic ginkgo]

don't save on top of structures, reload restore point if available, join another player to get out if not

[royal mason]

no friends online. can i join a random if they allow it?

[pallid tiger]

is it possible to build inside?

[royal mason]

unfortunately not

[signal cedar]

do you have any pet you can try to summon outside of the box, interact with it to ride it out?

[royal mason]

wont' let me summon them. Im getting the impression im just screwed till a friend comes online 😐

[signal cedar]

then just around #nms-lfg-or-trades if you could join somebody just to save on a space station or something

otherwise if you're on PC you could try using save editors to change your position in system

[spark lichen]

you can join me

whats your code

[signal cedar]

or install mods that make use of the "unstuck" action on Orbital Uplink item to instantly teleport to space station

[spark lichen]

anyone know what max amount of ships is

[median trout]

6 iirc

[royal mason]

I'll ask around in LFG, ty for the help all.

[median trout]

Anyone know if they made underground bases feasible? Or do they still slowly get swallowed?

[pallid tiger]

12+18

12 ship you can own and 18 you can store in your freighter

[pallid tiger]

just dont unless it is a natural cave

[median trout]

I was just seeing if they made any changes that made it feasible. Its not a need of mine, just thought of it and figured id check. Based on that answer I assume not.

[pallid tiger]

yeah sadly no

[spark lichen]

how do i store them

[proper laurel]

!faq

[tulip dust]

@proper laurel Please run this in #nms-commands or #bot-spam.

[pallid tiger]

check fleet management terminal in the bridge

[wicked saffron]

how the hell do i make hydraulic wiring? ive been to so many outposts an havent found any....

[pallid tiger]

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

[spark lichen]

thanks bro

[spark lichen]

i can send you some, how much do you need ?

[wicked saffron]

just 1 so i can make a refiner in my ship im new to the game.

[clear anvil]

you can unlock the recipe on the anomaly at the middle console on the right

[wicked saffron]

ooooh hell yeah

thank yoou

[royal mason]

just an update. leaving expedition mode and rejoining fixed it. 👍 thanks again all

[spark lichen]

i can send you 25 rn

[wicked saffron]

oh an i actually have a question about the expeditions why dont they let you use your current save? my friend said they make you use a whole new save an you cant use your corvette

[wicked saffron]

how would you do that if i aint next to you? im new i have no idea xD

[pallid tiger]

expedition is designed for you to start from scratch

[spark lichen]

we add each other, one of us joins the other

[pallid tiger]

You used to only be able to play expedition with a brand new save

[wicked saffron]

but you can still get the rewards with what ever save you'd like?

[clear anvil]

the phase and final rewards, yes

[wicked saffron]

ok awsome i was worried there for a bit i may give them a try cause i really like some of the stuff you get from them.

thanks yall

[scenic quail]

how do i collect the inverted mirror? i only get echo locator

[quick elk]

lucky, echo locater is the rarer drop from those guys

[spark lichen]

if i give people modded ships will they still be modded

[earnest swallow]

how do i tame the large flying creatures?

[onyx lake]

Hello, this question has probably been asked 100 times, but i can see on the website that 'the swarm' 6.40 has been released on xbox game pass, but i cant update my game... is it available or not?

[obsidian nova]

Check #nms-news-ticker

As of right now, no. It's not available on Xbox yet.

[wicked saffron]

im here at the anomaly what middle console are you talking about for the hydraulic wiring recipe?

[obsidian nova]

In the main back of the anomaly, upstairs

On the... Right side, iirc

[spark lichen]

do people trade modded ships or no

[wicked saffron]

ok thanks man

[coral atlas]

how do i get hexite? i looked it up for the first part of the living ship sequence and I dont think im getting the waypopitn after teleporting to the hexite source system

[clear anvil]

is the mission for the living ship the active one?

[coral atlas]

yeah

[clear anvil]

have you already tried to save and reload or even restart the game entirely?

[coral atlas]

ive restarted the game a few time since it started, but ill testart it again rq

[scenic quail]

guys as a starter shall i sell these

[coral atlas]

restarting didnt help, it still just says to find the 250 hexite for the consciousness bridge

[coral atlas]

hang on to them until you get a multitool/starship you want to invest them in

[clear anvil]

what does the mission to get hexite say exactly?

[clear anvil]

the mission is supposed to lead you to a crashed freighter

[spark lichen]

are u on expedition or normal

[coral atlas]

im probably just not getting the ping then

[coral atlas]

normal

[scenic quail]

expedition

[clear anvil]

have you tried the scanner in space to see if that triggers something

[spark lichen]

how to get this ?

[clear anvil]

reward for a previous expedition

[coral atlas]

its an expedition reward from one the inactive ones

[coral atlas]

i have in ship and multi-tool

[spark lichen]

is it good @coral atlas @clear anvil

[coral atlas]

idk, it looks cool though

[spark lichen]

does anyone know if people trade modded ships

[clear anvil]

you'ld prolly have to ask in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/377229206351773696 if that is a thing

[quick elk]

its pretty good ive been using it on the expedition, only problem is living ships have a very annoying way of getting upgrades and you can only get the laser and photon cannon (which does fire a lot faster ive noticed)

[clear anvil]

i see 3 options here:

1. file a bug report with !hg
2. find other means to gather hexite (sources should be on the wiki)
3. reset the mission at a place several thousand LY away

[spark lichen]

i have all upgrades i think, was just wondering how i got it

anyone know what the best unmodded ship is tho

[quick elk]

im not sure which ship types are best now with corvettes in the picture but id imagine their the best because of all the customization

but for regular ships probably interceptors

[coral atlas]

ik it used to be alien ships because of some weird bug but idk what it is rn

[clear anvil]

there is no best per sé, there are ship classes more suitable for certain tasks, the rest are mainly just looks

[manic vessel]

Best is very subjective. What criteria are you using for that assessment?

[quick elk]

fast and attack good cause those are really the only things youll need your ship to do

[spark lichen]

what are interceptors

[quick elk]

sentinal ships

[spark lichen]

like most damage or fastest ig

[spark lichen]

thanks

so are sentinel ones the best ?

[quick elk]

i think so

[clear anvil]

a lot of people prefer sentinels since they can hover

[quick elk]

true

[clear anvil]

for general purpose exotics are prolly the goto as they are good at everything

[quick elk]

i love the hovering

[clear anvil]

or you just go custom with a corvette

[lilac bone]

guys im stuck on a planet i cant build i cant call my ship beacuse i havent repaired it yet and there are no players bases nearby what do i do

ive been here for couple of hours now

[clear anvil]

in the expedition or normal?

[raw kestrel]

It may be 1 am but is the update on xbox yet

[lilac bone]

expedition

[lilac bone]

.

[clear anvil]

doesn't look like it, you can check in https://discord.com/channels/146101654981312513/979635719893053490 if an update for a specific platform has been released

[clear anvil]

what do you need to repair your ship, or what are you missing spcifically

[lilac bone]

pilot signature

thats all i need now

[quick elk]

yooo same its 1am for me too

[raw kestrel]

Mein Kampftsoft is stupid

[lilac bone]

but i cant repair it beacuse its not like near me its on another planet

[raw kestrel]

Usa or canada

[clear anvil]

how are you on another planet w/o your ship?

[lilac bone]

i teleported to some guys base

i went exploring

and then he left the game

and base disipeard

[clear anvil]

then your ship should be where the base was, there is always a fall back for cases like these

[signal cedar]

or just start a new expedition save

[lilac bone]

its on another planet

[clear anvil]

have you tried saving and reloading?

[signal cedar]

since repairing the ship is pretty early on, you won't be loosing much

[lilac bone]

ive been walking for couple of hours

i have shit load of items

50 technology module

[lilac bone]

what you mean

[clear anvil]

the game should at least put you on the same planet as your ship is after a reload or a restart of the game, even if the ship is damaged

[lilac bone]

it didnt

so my only option is to start a new expedidtion

[clear anvil]

or join another player to get you back to the original planet

[lilac bone]

i love you ❤️

thank you so much

[clear anvil]

what platfrom are you on?

[lilac bone]

pc

[dense stag]

What's up with the Sweeper missions resetting any time you switch weapons on your multitool or enter an exocraft?

[clear anvil]

what is your NMS friend code, you can see it in the network options

[lilac bone]

ive already joined a frend

thank you

[clear anvil]

stay on the terrain manipulator and it should work

[bold marlin]

i’ve seen people get all supercharged slots on a multitool by some bug, is that same method repeatable on ships as well? or even your own exosuit?

[solid trail]

When will xbox get the new Update?

[dense stag]

they better never put a mission on an aggressive sentinel planet or that's gonna be tough

[signal cedar]

by using a save editor

[clear anvil]

they do, it is random

[signal cedar]

and marking all tech slots as SC slots

nope

you are free to use mods, save editors and other 3rd party tools as long as you don't harm/hurt other players

all shenanigans you do for yourself are fair game

thats funny cos the reason i inquired was cos some guy with a busted multitool 2 tapped my ship in the swarm expedition and i lost my loot

[signal cedar]

disable PVP in network settings

[potent crypt]

Usually 4-6 days after everyone else

[signal cedar]

without going into too much technical detail from game files

it's setup like this:

{
   dig up 3-5 swarm debris
   mark objective as finished
}

so the moment you swap to another weapon (including exocraft weapons), you jump out of this while loop and start again

well I guess it's good I took the time to fully upgrade everything

[narrow maple]

I found a monolith but didn't have the resources to flip the glyphs. I left the system to get them. Coming back, the waypoint is gone and I don't have anything in my discoveries. Is there anyway to get this waypoint back? I've already been there.

[signal cedar]

unless you have saved the planetary coords (lat/long) somehow or have access to another portal, then not

but keep in mind, every planet / moon has a portal you can use

!faq-portal

[tulip dust]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Locating a Portal

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

📚 Notes:

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

[signal cedar]

once you locate one, you can drop a base computer there to claim the base area

[narrow maple]

I think it's absurd that this is the case but thank you for letting me know

[signal cedar]

no, game doesn't save every place / thing you visited that way, since it relies heavily on procedural generation

structures and objects are spawned as you traverse the planet based on their location and other factors

[dense stag]

put down a save beacon next time

[signal cedar]

save beacon is also a good suggestion, it will display a marker you can navigate to

[narrow maple]

I already found it with a star chart, it's absurd to have to get another one again

[signal cedar]

but base comp does the same + lets you teleport to it from any teleporter (like on space stations)

[proud thunder]

Are paradise planets rare?

[dense stag]

the ones named paradise planet can be uncommon, but you can find an equivalent planet by other names

lots of planets fit into the lush biome, which is what paradise planets are

[proud thunder]

I thought "paradise" planets were ones with no Sentinels

[signal cedar]

keep in mind paradise is a specific subset of lush biome planet

[dense stag]

Things like Tropical, Flourishing, Verdant, Rainy, Bountiful, Grassy are all lush biomes

[signal cedar]

but they are not interchangeable with Paradise label

that means no hazard weather and no Sentinel activity

[proud thunder]

Any tips on how to find one??

[signal cedar]

not really since there's no mechanic to locate paradise planets directly

[dense stag]

I was watching a youtuber that found a paradise planet and invited people to come visit, so I visted and when I got there, it had aggressive sentinels.

[signal cedar]

you can locate lush biome planets in general using Catalogue and Guide - Materials - Parafinium - Locate Substance option

but that will show you any lush planet, you have to check yourself whether its actually a paradise subtype

[wicked saffron]

how do i tame a flying creature they always run from me before i can get to them.... xD

[signal cedar]

not all creatures can be tamed, especially some high-flying ones

[proud thunder]

Get Behind them, or shoot them. Helldiver

[signal cedar]

to tame creature you need to be on the ground, can't do it mid-air

then look in their direction to see whether you get an interaction prompt

[wicked saffron]

damn

sounds hard af

i just found a planet with alot of other players on it an its a aggressive sentinel planet

[signal cedar]

if looking up while staying on ground is hard, I dont know how to help you

[wicked saffron]

ok thanks anyways lol

[paper timber]

You can drop creature pellets for the low flying ones

Chances are they may come to you then you can tame them

[signal cedar]

yup, difficulty presets affect the Sentinel activity level on planets

can shift the subtype like that

[languid vigil]

how soed supercharged module slots work?
does it matter if they are close to each other or not?
i've seen few videos where people showing 4 slots sitting together and saying that it's good.

[dense stag]

btw, he was on normal when he found the planet and he didn't have aggressive sentinels

[coral tusk]

I've been trying to do the part right after Contact. I just need to fly up and supposedly see something in the sky which zooms away and 2 attack ships show up. .... I ve gotten the notification over and over. I even got it to ping to targets, but then nothing shows. Am I screwed?

[signal cedar]

SC slots take the numerical bonus stats on tech modules and multiply them by 1.25

people hunt for starships/multitools/freighters with adjacent SC slots to take advantage of both SC bonuses and adjacency bonuses

if i unlocked a helmet from expeditions how do i collect it?

[river canyon]

The quicksilver bot on the Space Anomaly

[wicked saffron]

i just looked at saw the same helmet that i supposedly unlocked but it said i havent yet... what happened?

it was some bug helmet i just started expeditions im new

[river canyon]

So are you in the expedition, or are you checking from a different save?

[wicked saffron]

i finished the expedition an went back to an anomaly it didnt make me us a different save ive been using my usual save

[river canyon]

You claimed all the phase rewards and final overall reward?

[wicked saffron]

im not sure tbh i went back to nexus an got my nanites for completeing the mission.

did i need to collect somthing else aswell?

[river canyon]

Go into your pause menu and look at the expedition tab

Each phase (and milestone) should have something for you to claim

[tight nimbus]

How to get alot of units

[wicked saffron]

i found a planet with really bad storms on it that spawned in storm crystals an got 7 mil off 20 of them i think it was

an the storms happen every other minute so you can make tons of money easily

[river canyon]

Storm crystals are decent early on

[wicked saffron]

i made a base there too

Bunch of methods there too

[tight nimbus]

Im in this weird tungzi system idk how coordinates work

[wicked saffron]

were is the expedition tab i dont see it?

is it in log?

[river canyon]

Did you use the terminal on the space anomaly to exit the expedition?

[wicked saffron]

i finished the mission an went to nexus to collect my nanites that is it

i have only done 2 expeditions i have no idea what to do

[tight nimbus]

How do i feed a flying creature i want one 😭💔

[wicked saffron]

same here man i saw what looked like a tiny dragon earlier xD

[river canyon]

Can only get low flyers in vanilla, no birds or high flying worms and such

Will need someone to trade you an egg - or use mods/save editor

[tight nimbus]

Cant i just upgrsde my jetpack and get there?

[river canyon]

I'm a bit confused here, the expedition is a 2-6 hour long quest chain that you enter separately from your main save, either via a terminal in the anomaly or by starting a new save. When in an expedition you have a separate tab in your pause menu for it.

[river canyon]

No, they don't have any option to feed by default

[tight nimbus]

Also when do i get landing pads i lose 25% fuel every nano second 💔😭

[wicked saffron]

oh shit maybe i have been doing somthing wrong xD

are there small missions to do at nexus i was probably doing those

[river canyon]

Yep

[wicked saffron]

kind of like if you were to use the mission radar xD

damn

no fuckin wonder

thanks for the help man

[river canyon]

No problem

[river canyon]

That can also be mitigated by installing upgrades for your launch thrusters

[tight nimbus]

Which one?

[river canyon]

These are sold by station vendors, and there are a some blueprints at the Space Anomaly as well

[tight nimbus]

I need it so bad

[river canyon]

Any of the upgrade will increase efficiency, S class being the best bet

[hallow swallow]

in the expedition, when I complete a quest I get two of each upgrade. should I install them both? It makes a difference?

[river canyon]

The tech on the Anomaly includes an auto charger as well

[tight nimbus]

Ooo i dont know how to get nanites beside missions

[river canyon]

You can have 3 upgrade modules for the same tech installed at the same time, they stack and also have an adjacency bonus if they are touching

How to make salvaged data to nanite?

[river canyon]

Refine it

[tight nimbus]

How much is 1 salvaged data

[river canyon]

15 iirc

[eternal vector]

What does the leader boards look like ?

[paper ridge]

how do i find a salvage refinery on a planet in the expedition?

[river canyon]

Dunno, but someone in #nms-expedition probably has an image handy

[river canyon]

Sorry, I haven't dipped into it yet

The #nms-expedition channel may have some people rdy to answer that tho

[paper ridge]

dang ive been flying around one of the dissonant salvage planets and idk if its just loading slow due to so many bases or if they dont spawn there

[fathom jolt]

I just came back on NMS what is this tire with green marker on it beside Plant Control Panel on Industrial Waste?

[tight nimbus]

Why am i laggy on rtx 5060 and Ryzen 5 5500 with high settings?

[river canyon]

Basic scrap

[keen fog]

Any idea how someone was able to build a base literally right next to mine (about 30 feet away)? I didn't think that was possible.

[river canyon]

Probably multiplayer shenanigans - they were offline or not connected to ODS servers, so no check for ownership

[keen fog]

Gotcha. I'm not mad about it or anything, just confused.

[tough heron]

guys is there like a place where i can meet players?

[river canyon]

There is a reporting feature for bases, in your quick menu

It won't do anything besides remove it for you

[keen fog]

I'm okay with them being there as long as I can still work on my base.

[river canyon]

The Space Anomaly usually has people in it

[tough heron]

cool thanks!

[river canyon]

If you are more interested in an organized community #1418605454300549120 has some listed

[tough heron]

thanks

[keen jay]

is there a way to transfer energy through bases? cuz i got 1 close to other and for some reason at 1 place energy wont come any longer

[granite narwhal]

How do i delete save slots? I have one from the previous expedition and want to rid of it

[languid vigil]

a little dumb question i guess, but anyways - how do i get staff, that i found on r/NMSCoordinateExchange?
should i buy parts and make mu own or what?
now sure if i can post links here...

[urban briar]

No questions are dumb. You build the staff from parts you get from the Autophage faction.

[granite narwhal]

so, you do have to buy the EXACT parts that are shown, and go to the exact coordinates to find the camp, other camps may not generate the same staff

[urban briar]

To assemble, you need to use a terminal at an autophage camp.

[granite narwhal]

this is how it worked for me at least

[languid vigil]

im at the exact camp, but r post didnt show his parts, only done staff

[granite narwhal]

if you see the full staff then you should already know the parts, it's 3, the top, middle and bottom parts

you buy those parts from the same camp, and to get the currency you do missions for the autophages

[clear anvil]

when planning to build bases try to see if there is a power source nearby that can cover the entire area so that you just build one base that is large enough, you can extend a base' range to 1000u from the default 300u

[river canyon]

Go to the save selection screen, there will be buttons displayed for the options

[devout flower]

I don't know exactly when it started happening, but a few weeks ago my Steam version of NMS would render the high LOD terrain surrounding me as invisible. Adjusting various video settings doesn't help.
Sent a support ticket via zendesk a couple of weeks ago, not fixed with latest update.

[swift sand]

have you tried clearing shader cache (steam and driver caches)? made sure you're on fully updated drivers? not running any mods?

[devout flower]

I haven't tried driver cache, I did Steam though. Also tried reinstalling with no change. Thanks for the tip, will report back

[jade flower]

How does someone have the starborn runner ship in the new expedition?

Can you bring over starships to expedition runs?

[clear anvil]

only expedition rewards by the looks of it

[jade flower]

I am seeing the starship in the anomaly, so im assuming he bought it over

[clear anvil]

can't copy over from main save, just have to unlock it from expedition reward if available there

neither twitch drops or starborn phoenix from steam are available either

[swift sand]

oh interesting

thanks

[jade flower]

Oh so people who have completed the expeditions in the past can unlock them in new expeditions?

[swift sand]

in most expeditions, yes

[swift sand]

there can be special cases, the devs can enable/disable all/some parts of that

yeah, see

[clear anvil]

the starborn phoenix would be under special rewards for me

[swift sand]

yeah

since platform reward

[keen fog]

I want a Starborn Phoenix, but I missed that expedition. Sadly. 😮‍💨

[swift sand]

there's ways to get them still. both runner and phoenix can be gifted between players for example. runner was the expedition reward (exp12), phoenix was a free but time limited steam dlc.

[granite narwhal]

What does "Evolve companion" do?

[languid vigil]

it looks, that author used "Recycled Pole" for bottom part, but it is not up for sale at this camp.
other 2 part are here

[granite narwhal]

then you can find another camp and hope they sell it there

there's often many camps on the same planet

[potent hill]

Has the Xbox update come out yet? Just curious

[swift sand]

where are you seeing this? can you post a screenshot?

[swift sand]

nope not yet

subscribe #nms-announcements and #nms-news-ticker for news updates 🙂

[potent hill]

Thank you

[keen fog]

I might have to look into that. Much appreciated. I want the Phoenix, Iron Vulture, and Boundary Herald.

[swift sand]

from those, only iron vulture cant be gifted afaik - but another player could gift you the parts needed to build one

if on pc, you've got more options too (save editing, modding, rerunning old exps offline)

[keen fog]

Yeah. I play on PC.

[swift sand]

there's some pinned posts in #nms-modding you might want to check out

[keen fog]

I kinda want them unlocked on my account. So, I'll probably just watch and wait to see if they come around again. In the meantime, I'll look into getting them on my main save. I appreciate the info.

[swift sand]

ftr, all the 3 alts i suggested would unlock them acct wide

[keen fog]

Interesting. Time to do some reading then.

[proven frigate]

Where do I find this?

[swift sand]

near the corvette workshop terminal

[proven frigate]

Oh the inventory thing, mb

[swift sand]

all good, always feel free to ask - remember that when on foot in the station, you can quick transfer parts into and from the workshop using inventory quick transfer menu

[proven frigate]

That is new to me, thanks

[marsh zealot]

Does the network setting "can access refiner" also include things like the Nutrient Processor and other base "refiners" or just specifically the portable?

[swift sand]

it should be all yeah i think

but note that permission wont stick on uploaded bases

[viral river]

ok, I'll ask a question and before I get the same response as last time.

I know of all the requirements for the pirate freighter or civilian fleet rescue battle to happen

Since the patch, I played for almost a whole day outside of the expedition actively outside menus, building a base, searching for MTs and sentinel ships.

I already own a pirate freighter (S class) and since the update released on PC, I haven't encountered a single pirate freighter, NONE. I visited at least 40 different pirate controlled systems, I even revisited some of them to double check, no pirate freighter battle, no civilian rescue battle, none.

Can someone answer this question who ACTUALLY saw a pirate freighter battle AFTER the update went live outside of the expedition?

I can understand why these answers came, but even after I explained things and even though we just got a new update, I haven't gotten anyone to actually confirm it ingame themselves.

[marsh zealot]

I've found once i had my Pirate Freighter that i only run into them if i warp in my normal starship to a pirate system and the attack happens. but it still works.

[swift sand]

there are non outlaw systems that also use the pirate freighter rescue event

[viral river]

I'm warping in the system with my corvette, just like I did before the update

[swift sand]

our ship doesnt matter, as long as we're not freighter warping

[marsh zealot]

i don't use the corvette to warp, just my normal long-distance starship i've had for the last 500+ hours in my file

all the bugs when the corvettes got put in sketched me out too much so i just summon it after warping to use it for the things i wanted

[swift sand]

well, i dont have the requirements met to trigger the battle on any system i want yet on my main save, but what happens when you portal to say a system like this <#nms-questions message>

[viral river]

all I can say is, the same method I used before the update is no longer working for me, instead, I only get these

[broken jasper]

so i just finished "the purge" but still dont see the atlantideum drive, does someone know how to get it?

[devout flower]

These were the instructions I found for Nvidia shader cache

2. Select Graphics from the left column.
3. From the top, select Global Settings
4. Search and select Shader Cache Size.  Under Cache Size, select Off.  Click Apply to save the setting.
5. Reboot your PC5. Once you are back in Windows, you may choose one of the two methods to delete the shader cache files
Deleting the files manually-
Open the Run dialog box (Win + R)
-Type the following location into the Open field %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local 
-In the Local folder, open the NVIDIA directory.
-Within that directory, open the DXCache and GLCache folders, and delete all contents from both folders.
-Return to the Local folder.
-Open the NVIDIA Corporation directory.
-Open the NV_Cache folder and delete all its contents.
-Reopen the NVIDIA App and set Shader Cache back to Driver Default (currently 16GB).  Larger sizes can provide optimal performance with larger game libraries.  
-Click Apply to save the changes.
-Restart your PC once more to complete the process.```
I didn't have a folder called "NV_Cache" though...

[viral river]

I farmed pirate freighters before the update for S class upgrades

[swift sand]

need to complete 2-3 more quests before that - it's a quest called in stellar multitudes that unlocks both purple star systems, and atlantid drive/resonance matrix. type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands for more infos

[marsh zealot]

the atlantideum drive should come with the purple systems quest line

[swift sand]

@viral river portal to that system i linked, then warp out and back in again: battle triggered?

[broken jasper]

im at new beginnings now, but i dont see a way forward

i also see atlas eternal and the space anomaly quests

[vernal nacelle]

Yeh those dont do anything

[swift sand]

need to complete 2-3 more quests before that - it's a quest called in stellar multitudes that unlocks both purple star systems, and atlantid drive/resonance matrix. type !faq-purplesystems in #nms-commands for more infos

see image

[marsh zealot]

you need to start the quest "In Stellar Multitudes"

[viral river]

gonna try, give me a bit

[swift sand]

but you did the other steps, and disabled steam shader cache in steam settings/downloads?

[proven frigate]

The translator only translate in conversation only or I get more words when I learn new too?

[swift sand]

translators dont teach words no

[proven frigate]

I'm considering remove translator from my suit since I learned about 75% words of all languages already, should I?

[swift sand]

yeah, i'd not keep them either at that point

[viral river]

I warped there using the coords, jumped to the other system in the image, no battle, jumped back, no battle, I tried the other system again, no battle, jumped back, no battle again

I seriously think that either

A. I bugged my game somehow and I can't trigger a battle anymore
B. HG made a mistake and they bugged pirate freighter battles
C. HG changed the requirements for pirate freighter battles
D. smth else entirely

[devout flower]

Yep. Still no change

[copper oar]

Is anyone having the same problem with corvette ships and adding bays?

[swift sand]

working here - what's options/difficulty/space combat set to?

[languid vigil]

do i need portal on my base to teleport TO in from other places? (space stations)
or it's required only to be able to teleport FROM base?

[proven frigate]

I have no idea what use solar power on my suit 🤔

[viral river]

normal, haven't changed a single setting

[swift sand]

decreases movement drain on life support when daytime

[swift sand]

teleporter only req to teleport out

[viral river]

standard enemy strength, space combat is standard and so on, normal difficulty preset

[languid vigil]

sweet. time to make money on sentiel ships to buy pirate dread

UPD: i just found S class sentiel ship...

[viral river]

in a pirate controlled system?

[viral river]

Since the update, I only get these in pirate controlled systems

[swift sand]

nope, this is actually a t2 eco system

[viral river]

I think they bugged smth and only fugitive starships only trigger now

[viral river]

I haven't tried a single non pirate controlled system

[swift sand]

i'll try triggering it in an outlaw system too - i was trying before and got that fugitive message too, but idk if i had the requirements down or not

give me a sec

[proven frigate]

@swift sand do you have pictures for everything?

[viral river]

because why would I? I want S class freighters, 0-2% chance for S class is abysmal

[swift sand]

i'm in game atm 😄

[swift sand]

we're trying to find out what's going on here

[viral river]

thanks for testing instead of throwing the usual "you're doing smth wrong" or "not meeting requirements" answers

what's the chance for a freighter battle to happen in a "at war" system?

[swift sand]

10% that a t3 conflict system always triggers the pirate freighter battle on every warp in. but i'm not relying on that, on finding those systems - either t3 or outlaw (20% chance for outlaw systems to spawn the battle on eery warp in). i've got 3h of gameplay and 5 ship warps since last battle, so by design, from what we know of game rules, i should be able to trigger the rescue battle event on any inhabited system i want, outlaw or not. i'm checking right now if it spawns it on outlaw, because i already checked that it does on non outlaw

[viral river]

got a freighter battle/rescue in a non pirate controlled system. I really think they botched smth for pirate controlled systems

[visual merlin]

I bought an A-class freighter, but it changed to B-class after being bought, is it like a known bug?

My previous was B-class

[swift sand]

where are you seeing that it shows as b-class? what does it show as when you go down to the hanger, and aim visor at hanger walls for example?

[visual merlin]

I checked to make sure and it says B-class now, despite it showing A-class before

I will try to resummon it

[keen jay]

how to increase? i just tried to do this cuz i got smt like 300+ distance resources like o2 and smt other near energetic one

[swift sand]

try to just resummon it or save+reload

[devout flower]

Tried a different game save, just to be sure it wasn't the save itself that was bugging out but no luck there either.
And yes, toggled steam cache, restarted steam, toggled on again

[swift sand]

okay there's definitely a bug here, i can confirm - it's not triggering the rescue battle on any outlaw system i warp to, even with reqs met. please raise a bug report when you get a bit of spare time

are you on steam experimental by any chance?

instead of left image, i always get right image on warp to outlaw

[swift sand]

so weird. hmm. all overlays disabled and stuff? try to quit game, delete game install folder\binaries\settings\tkgraphicssettings.mxml in the offshoot that reinstalling didnt delete that file as it is game created not shipped by default, then retest without making any further changes. also, a new save is probably best to test: i just rely on creative mode, has a working ship waiting for me.

[proven frigate]

@swift sand what is this? should I go in?

[swift sand]

check <#nms-commands message>

[swift sand]

relic gate is a space encounter that will basically warp you away from this system, to destination that you cant control

you could teleport right back to this very system, if you visited its station or have a base comp in

[proven frigate]

So kinda like emergency warp?

[swift sand]

this doesnt do damage, kinda like a black hole

[keen jay]

so all i need is just put smt near the edge of range

[proven frigate]

Will it always be there?

[swift sand]

yeah, each part you place (well most parts) adds a smaller build bubble of its own, then you just build again at that new edge, and so on, towards the htspot

[swift sand]

space encounters despawn once we move far away enough, but it could be retriggered as it is in this systems' pulse encounter table - save+reload resets encounters back to 0

[devout flower]

Fixed!
Deleteing the tkgraphicsettings.mxml file sorted it out!

[swift sand]

yay! 😌 , have fun!

[proven frigate]

IT TOOK ME 1,1MILLIONS LIGHT YEARS AWAY WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

[swift sand]

hehe

that's part of why i said you could teleport back

too far to just warp back 😉

[proven frigate]

Swarn Debris :O this is new

right?

[swift sand]

yeah, the new tag, added with swarm update

that planet should have crashed swarmers, not just swarm debris - as it has salvageable scrap and is dissonant

colossus radar can scan for swarmer sites

[proven frigate]

Do I need module for that? or its built-in the Colossus?

[swift sand]

exocraft radar has to be installed, it doesnt come prebuilt - can be unlocked from the anomaly

[tight nimbus]

All my corvette parts dissapeared when restarting the mission?

[swift sand]

which mission?

[tight nimbus]

Corvette assembly, or is it bc other system?

[proven frigate]

It gave corrupted ichor, only seen it in expedition but don't really know what it does

[swift sand]

wdym restart the mission? where were the parts stored at?

[tight nimbus]

Where u put the parts in

[swift sand]

yeah, not sure either - stick it in a refiner, does it refine to something?

[swift sand]

the workshop cache is only 1 inventory, the same inventory is accessible from any station, not specific per station

[tight nimbus]

Where did they go :c

[proven frigate]

It become nanites with 5 to 1 rate

[swift sand]

idk, if you put them in the cache, saved game, didnt use them after, they should be in there

[celest crescent]

Hell yeah I’m keen how you doing with taming pets and whatnot

I hope it’s not too complicated

[pulsar dagger]

Is the expedition out on xbox yet?

[inland ermine]

Nope

[pulsar dagger]

Ok thanks

[swift sand]

nah, pretty straight forward. getting strong pets to xenoarena battles might take a while, triple s-class pets are ofc sought after, but very rare. always feel free to ask about anything later.

[swift sand]

suggestion: subscribe #nms-announcements and #nms-news-ticker

[pulsar dagger]

Thanks

[celest crescent]

Ye, I’ll probably pick your brain about types and so the s class are gonna be expensive and whatnot right

[celest crescent]

But I should be getting cool dudes along the way and see how it goes aye

[swift sand]

well, we cant upgrade pet's classes, but it will be a time investment for sure if you'll rely on your own finds

[celest crescent]

Ahh right so probably better to buy them

[fossil crow]

If I buy a new freighter do my rooms with technology like portal and storage room do they get transferred or deleted with everything in it

[tulip dust]

@fossil crow see post below:
-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> What migrates over to a new freighter

• Current freighter base;
• Frigate Fleet;
• Squadron, if any;
• Archived Ships, if any;
• Unlocked research;

Notes:

• Installed tech and upgrade modules aren't automatically transferred, it's recommended to package them before committing to getting a new freighter;
• We can switch inventories when in the Exchange screen: if the new freighter has enough cargo slots, items held in current freighter cargo can be pushed to the new freighter's inventory;
• Storage Room contents are always safe, nothing to worry about;

[smoky forum]

hi is there a console command to add star bulbs to our inventory?
ive been searching with analysis visor for 7 hours and cant find anymore? I need 8 of them.
is the game just broken?

[swift sand]

1. expedition22: planet has star bulb on resource list, right?
2. expedition22: disable multiplayer in network settings, then save+reload from main menu and try again
3. native biome plants like star bramble spawn along laylines: head east or west till you find either a building or a star bramble cluster: when you find either, switch to going north or south, if you either found a building first or need more bramble; use photo mode as a drone camera
4. no console commands

[smoky forum]

thank you within a minute of switching to running east found some! wow i was just kind of running straight around the planet for 7 hours and found none now found it ina minute! thanks!

[swift sand]

great!! just for further illustration, the (imaginary) layline would be in the middle you see?

[smoky forum]

I see it I kind of understand it, I guess I just ran in the wrong direction and kept going straight not on a layline. but it worked! now back to the ship to continue the expedition!

[swift sand]

yeah 🙂 have fun

[wanton ridge]

If i attempt to trade for corvette parts and it doesn't work, do i lose the parts i wagered ?

[tight nimbus]

my friend just defended a freighter but he cant talk to the npc even tho it says claim reward at captain

[restive hawk]

Okay so since nothing is deadass giving a straight answer. Hydroponic beds, need sun exposure or fine to sit in a covered room?
