nms-the-future

[lilac crane]

And you can go to another galaxy if you really need to be alone even more. I stay in Euclid by choice. After Eissentam the player count drops massively.

[wind moat]

Im still so new to the game and learning things, I’m at the awe stage.

[fiery coral]

I just struggle to see a way to implement “medium” ships with interiors without rendering a freighter base obsolete. The game just doesn’t seem to suit those. The ships are cars, not mobile HQ police trailers. If they wanted to add something like this, they would’ve done it long ago

[wind moat]

Im thinking more along the lines of bigger then a hauler but much smaller then a freighter.

[fiery coral]

Why not just go all the way and have a controllable frigates for that purpose? They already have somewhat of an “interior.”

[lilac crane]

Yeah, Euclid isn't the only galaxy in the game. You will find out how to get there eventually. This game has 16^16 planets across all galaxies.

[wind moat]

As long as I can fly them and land them

and walk inside them etc

[lilac crane]

I was wondering if controllable frigates would be better. They can serve most purposes easily.

Landing frigates just doesn't make sense though.

Do you have any idea how big a frigate is?

[wind moat]

Or they could just make a new type of hauler size ship that has interiors and you can walk in them. Fly and land them etc

[fiery coral]

And what of the others? No one’s going to use them anymore

[wind moat]

Not really, other games I’ve played frigates are small, and cruisers are bigger, so the comparison is diff with every game. Im very new to no man’s sky

[lilac crane]

Just wait until a frigate appears in the sky of a planet, you will see.

[fiery coral]

You do it with one type you’ll have to do it with all. You’ll have something so fundamentally different that no matter what kind of stats everyone will want to flock towards having a space Winnebago.

[lilac crane]

You can have multiple frigates.

[fiery coral]

In this case I’m talking of ships.

[wind moat]

That’s the same as saying don’t have city planets because then no one will build a settlement

Everything depends on how it’s implemented

[fiery coral]

I wholeheartedly agree

[wind moat]

One ship shouldn’t have everything, if a ship has interiors maybe it should have a negative too, like maybe it’s much slower, or has lower shields, or less cargo space etc, it’s all about the pros and cons, every ship should have a purpose to fulfill

All I want is a space caravan I can park up anywhere I want 😂

[fiery coral]

If anything needs a revamp it’s exploration. In a game that’s dependent on it, three years is long enough for an update.

My solution is to focus on updating exploration consistently, let’s say for example every 2 or so years. Enough time for players to get the gist of what they’re seeing, and enough time to where it doesn’t overwhelm and bloat the game with constant new wonders.

We’ve all seen the exact same things since Origins 3 years ago. I think it’s time for a refresh

[cold zephyr]

Freighter to Freighter combat should be a thing

[wind moat]

Im not at that stage yet, I’m at the beginning of that. I’ve only had like 30 hours in game I reckon

I’m loving it so far

No man’s sky is the game I’ve been searching for all my life lol

Or at least it feels like that

[lilac crane]

Have you seen Pirate Dreadnoughts?

[wind moat]

or at least the closest I’ll ever get to that

I don’t know what it is about space and flying ships im so drawn to

[cold zephyr]

So here's the scenario you warp somewhere with your Freighter and your attacked by a pirate dreadnought and you engage in broadside combat

[fiery coral]

I’ve been in a freighter under attack before. It’s intense

[wind moat]

I wonder if they’ll ever introduce multiplayer on switch

[fiery coral]

Why can’t our freighters come under attack by dreadnoughts? Let our combat frigates respond with an overwhelming barrage of torpedoes.

[pastel minnow]

The latest update made it a thing.

[slate ridge]

i'd really like to see some additions to the ship's movement and damage systems, and potentially updated yolk and throttle for ships besides interceptors and living ships, but combat feels downright clunky as of now without any options for meaningful dodge maneuvers or any easy to follow visual indicators. i think replacing the hologram display with an actually practical screen radar for most ships and maybe something fancier for royals and special classes would solve the aforementioned. also adding in modular thrusters or including a ship / mod that allows for dashing in any direction with a teleport or anti-gravity field

as it stands the ships feel stupendously hollow and featureless, weapons all meld together and the balancing for AI combat is a joke almost immediately into any campaign with enough sodium

and finally i think stakes need to be driven up for survival, upon losing in space combat you should end up crash landing on a nearby planet forcing you to repair with whatever cargo is still on hand or with parts on planet, this could introduce points of interest like mass ship graveyards in pirate systems from where pirates have been ambushing traders, salvage mechanics on planet that can offer repairs or materials for your starship, and to top it all off this all encourages exploration of planets that may otherwise have gone ignored

but as it stands flying is kind of my least favorite area of the game right now

[fluid parrot]

I would love if there was a PVP galaxy with like 10k systems only with it locked behind progression in some way, maybe you could get to it through the anomaly, PVP would always be enabled and you could loot other players graves, completely separate from the rest of the game so it doesn't effect anyone (it might also be necessary to limit everyone to like 5 bases per that galaxy so it doesn't just become completely covered by bases.)

Also all difficulty would have to be set to specific levels temporarily there.

[wind moat]

That could be interesting

[toxic slate]

Not really in the way people have been asking for. People want to use their own fleet in battle

[wind moat]

Just curious how the community would feel if HG charged for the next big update? I mean they’ll run out of money eventually. I’m just wondering how they can sustain the free updates

[fluid parrot]

Its not like the game is free, people are prob still buying the game, and this game seemingly is still getting alot of good attention on random yters making no mans sky in 2023 videos and stuff, Plus this game was bought ALOT at release.

There's also the other games they've developed and are developing, although I haven't heard much about them.

[quaint grotto]

I really wish they will add even more "enemy" in the game, Sentinels and the corrupted are good and all but like for reference I once just beat wave 5 with no upgrades and just using mining beam and while digging some holes to make cover. A real challenge in the late game would be cool.

[bronze umbra]

so I have some speculation that I expect to be wrong

and will probably look really dumb for suggesting it

there was this time that NMS was announced for macs and ipads - the mac release came out but we never heard anything about the ipad

today - at the apple event they showed off some ray tracing that their new mobile chip can do

and maybe this is just a game I've never seen or hear before or a demo reel - but their demo of ray tracing looked suspiciously no mans sky-ish.

https://www.youtube.com/live/ZiP1l7jlIIA?si=7IHuTk70u5rnIXr2&t=4087

I've watched this clip a few times and there are no similar props or textures - but it just has NMS feels to it.

their are some drones flying around that take away from that feeling entierly... but It made me want to speculate

probably just a demo reel to show off ray tracing.. but it has uncanny NMS asthetics in it.

[pastel minnow]

Kinda does.. but what takes away the NMS feel for me is that the structure is integrated with the terrain at the side.
I'm so used to terrain just being completely flat and an outpost plopped on top of it with 0 'interaction'

[bronze umbra]

Yeah.. I saw that too - then I started to speculate why that would be different... if it actually was NMS

[empty steeple]

okay hear me out, when you got all milestones and you still have the Radiant Pillar it should transform to this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/627110270418026506/1151261770908962837/image.png

[pastel minnow]

That feel when Gek and Pirates share one of the same milestones. 😔

[wind moat]

It’s funny how everyone is comparing no man’s sky and Starfield lately

[pastel minnow]

So many people were worried (and excited?) over Starfield destroying NMS on day 1... but surprisingly it's release gave NMS so much more spotlight. I don't think anyone really saw it coming.

[wind moat]

that’s so true, no disrespect to starfield, I’m sure it’s a great RPG, but no man’s sky is in a different category if you ask me. There both very different games.

[toxic slate]

Technically, HG never announced an iPad version that I can find. It was Apple who said it was coming to iPad in a marketing press release. However I wouldn't be surprised if HG is planning on it and Apple mistakenly leaked that too early. They are probably waiting until more of the install base has phones/iPads that can run it

[unborn spruce]

anyone know what game it is?

[wind moat]

I’d get no man’s sky on my phone if it ever came out.

[lunar widget]

When can I play NMS on my smartfridge?

[sweet oasis]

Picture mode having a posing option? (i wanna pose my dude like hes pointing at stuff like a clickbait youtuber)

[restive zenith]

Pilotable frigates

[sweet oasis]

sort inventory button please and thank ye

[sweet oasis]

Make it so the flora/fauna you scan doesnt reset after a while, i dont want to have to visit every galaxy ive been to just to rescan them every few weeks, whats the point of that?

[wind moat]

Does it still reset if you upload it?

[sweet oasis]

thats what ive heard in #no-mans-sky

[strange notch]

That’s true HG never did say. So far it’s just been Apple’s press release and TheForge.dev website on the (main page) saying they are helping HG in some way to bring it to MacOS and iOS.

[vale schooner]

I kinda did
Same thing happened with Warframe when Anthem came out

[wind moat]

I have an idea for a future update, they should allow players to create there own story quest and lore either on a planet or galaxy. Imagine stumbling on someone else’s planet and discovering the lore and a possible quest they have created for you to go on. It will definitely add depth to a planet. After all every planet is different.

[sweet oasis]

There should be a camera mode quick bind, cause when you need to time something or do an action that cant be done because ur pulling out the quickmenu

[pastel minnow]

You can quickbind the camera and emote.

Ctrl + [number]
Dunno about consoles tho.

You can quickbind any action in the quickmenu.
.... Is what I would say if some of them weren't bugged. Like pressing the bind for the trade rocket shows you the pet selection menu..

[surreal trail]

you can emote and then quickly go into camera mode

[bronze umbra]

I just have to throw this out there again

in the apple ray tracing demo - one of the drones flying around does a brief scan

but still the outliers for this being anything related to NMS are the weirdness of the drones... the player following a scripted path NPC... and the wall of terrain.. I think these 3 points are the biggest to suggest it's not NMS and I'm a crazy person

[sweet oasis]

Is there a terrain replacement thing, so i dont have to mine the ground and replace the ground and then flatten it etc i could just replace one terrain for another like base vs cave

[bronze umbra]

like terrain texture painting you mean?

[unborn spruce]

no one here knows what this mysterious game is yet?

i went through a list of known iphone games with ray tracing. none of them matched this at all

[toxic slate]

I didn't know anyone thought that demo footage was NMS, it's pretty clearly not. It's likely not even a game, just a demo scene Apple built for the presentation

[faint zinc]

Gravity changes?

like if the size of planets defined gravity

[oblique smelt]

!hg

[misty iris]

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

[sweet oasis]

mass as well

Also i think the documented animals section/pet tab could maybe show the walk speed/sprint speed of animals?

[faint zinc]

Zero gravity in space would be nice when you fall off a freighter

but magnetic boots or sometjing idk

[rapid sand]

I think it be cool if they added a new ship type called a "gunship" where the entire premise is for coop players to be in one ship. The pilot cant shoot the guns on it, but three other turrets can be inhabited by other players. Maybe even mountable turrets on the freighters too. Freighters could have air to ground turrets that you can get in and help a teammate from the air.

[cold zephyr]

It might be hard to do this with the current scale of space stations

[latent urchin]

Gas giants (planet type); build/summon a probe to harvest the gases off of it. Can land on probes (if unable to build at least be able to buy them; akin to that of a freighter/capital ship). The unique characteristics of this is harvest rates and amounts

[violet valley]

Player guilds or clans where players can align their interests and playstyles whether these clans would be bounty hunting guilds, roleplaying guilds, pirate guilds etc.

[glacial goblet]

It will be nice to give rocket launcher some more upgrade modules

[opaque ivy]

i was just thinking about this.

[opaque ivy]

and this!

[fiery coral]

I think light pollution would look cool. Seeing a settlement/base’s lights from space like we can irl

[violet valley]

good idea

[vagrant jasper]

I just want a procgen update I love this game but it really is starting to feel boring landing on a planet overall

[slate ridge]

hellogames wouldn't give them the creative license to use footage of NMS if they were explicitly highlighted by name

it's not nms

[pastel minnow]

Agreed. Also when you fall off frigates.. And have an ability to get out of your ship in space.

[slate ridge]

nms just has an almost generic sci-fi low impact geometry kinda look, so it's more likely that's a unity rendering or something similar

[lilac crane]

Plus, most of the physics is already there, take from the underwater stuff.

[oblique dock]

Quest 3 port of the game could change things. I know quest 2 can't run it. But quest 3 possibly could.

Switch could.
Quest 3 maybe.
We'll see if the Devs even try it. But I hope they do and show what its like. AppSW and some crazy optimisation could make it possible

The amount of money that nms could make on quest is insane

[vapid tree]

I like the gunship idea from earlier. Make some of them sentinels and make it an expedition where the sentinels drop off walkers and the more waves you beat the more you get @rapid sand

[pine sapphire]

Next update definitely needs to be a combat overhaul, combat just feels so outdated and it almost feels pointless to upgrade your weapons because everything is so easy to kill

[vapid tree]

When you deal upwards of 5k plus a shot I agree

Oh this would be a good one. Give vehicles more weapons and add stronger mechs to fight

[burnt tusk]

Now i hope we will see a promising future with nms with the release of other competitors may we see ship building at the last? Any variation of combat improvements? What exciting things to come?

[pastel minnow]

Yes, surely a 7th update that touches up combat will finally get it right.

[last chasm]

I think we should be able to control pet flight height

Riding protoflyers can be tedious

[gloomy hazel]

Multi-pilot gunships and docking arms dedicated for them would be good. Or a dedicated bay for gunships. It could also tie into an update to space stations.

[pastel minnow]

I was disappointed when I found out flying animals are just always at a specific height.

[fiery coral]

Remember we used to be able to free fall down to a planet’s surface? For some reason I can’t do it anymore

[fiery coral]

I disagree, for now at least. Seems like all we’ve been getting lately besides packed in with the big stuff are combat tweaks and features. I’d like them to reign that back in a bit and lean towards updating exploration instead. Coming up in a few weeks it’ll have been three years since Origins, since the last major exploration overhaul. I think we’re long overdue.

[tawdry path]

hoping for more features to be added to combat in space and on ground

[dense basin]

Localized weather should be added into the game, making it so that storms don't cover the entire planet. This, of course, does not have to be true of all planets but it would add more variety to the game. Chasing down storms on extreme weather planets in order to collect Storm Crystals could become a fun gameplay loop if you also make extreme weather even more deadly along with these changes. You could also make it so that when the game specifies that the storm is "raining glass", that it actually rains glass that damages anyone caught in it.

There should also be non-harmful weather on some planets, for example, granting paradise planets a bit of normal rain and whatnot. This could just add an extra layer of immersion considering many of these paradise planets have water and yet there is no rain on them. Maybe even sometimes just have heavily cloudy days but with no weather whatsoever on some planets. Planets could also have dense atmospheres that let no light in whatsoever, so that you're at the whim of your flashlight and anything that glows in the darkness.
Also, FIX LIGHTING PLEASE. It is very broken and barely illuminates anything.

Speaking of storms, gas giants can have extremely large ones and could be an extra addition to the gameplay loop.
I know what you're thinking, "You can't land on gas giants though." Here's the thing: you don't need to.

We already have gases that we collect in No Man's Sky, so the addition of gas giants could prove to be a larger scale way to collect gases for even bigger profits. Add different gases to the game also.
We could install new tech into our ships that allow us to scoop out the gas while in turn being damaged by "Pressure" the further into the gas giant we go and storms could roll in that increase the damage even further. Add some form of tech that increases protection against pressure in certain layers of the gas giants but storms could be the only thing we can't protect against inside of a gas giant.
Eventually, maybe for an extreme amount of units we could build some form of sub-orbital platform that we can land on and even expand that could collect the gases automatically.

I'd appreciate thoughts on this btw

[rapid sand]

Its a pretty cool idea, my concern with it is the netcode. Ive played coop with a few friends and I could tell it needs work. Id also like pilotable frieghters to go along with the usable turrets, but realistically I dont see that happening since freighters seem to act like static bases so I feel like they'd have to rework them from the ground up just to add that. However I do think my gunship idea is more feasible as long as the multiplayer side of things holds up. They can even add missions in the nexus to go along with it to incentivise players to group up and use it

[rapid sand]

I was thinking of this myself, especially about the normal storms that dont hurt you. I feel like that at the very least could be added. Localized weather might be bit more difficult. I dont doubt it could be done, but I feel like they would have to rework the planets greatly to make that happen. (Obviously I dont know for sure since I didnt develop the game lol) with your gas giant idea I think its an interesting one. Ive been interested in astronomy since I was little so I was actually a little disappointed when I found out there werent any giants in the game. I personally wouldnt mind if I flew my ship into a gas giant and it crushed me in seconds lol. But I understand why that wouldnt be fun for most people and I can understand why they didnt add them for that. Your idea adds an interesting mechanic though to make them interesting

[rapid sand]

As much as I do think the combat still needs work, I do agree that exploration needs an overhaul. Particularly with planets and fauna. Too much fauna in my opinion and that makes them repetitive. They need to rework the wild life and make them more rare

[last chasm]

Agreed

Its also hardly believable that barely any planet is radioactive, Hellish/freezing and toxic at once considering thats how a lot of planets go irl

Same goes for how fauna and flora are like depending on planets. I think we could have an overhaul to how they look depending on their environment

[fiery coral]

Pets weren’t an issue back when Origins launched and they had to wipe all non-sentient life from the universe. Now we have the ability to tame pets and receive eggs as rewards from Twitch drops.

I’m just scratching my head wondering whether or not it’s possible to add new animal ahem “components” without doing that again.

PC players, we’re lucky. We can back up our pets using third party apps.
Imagine the sheer magnitude of rioting that would occur if every console players’ cherished pets went extinct

Imagine if the cutest face in the galaxy slipped away 🥺🥺🥺

I couldn’t live with myself

[smoky hound]

we need hand crafted creatures like starfield, and herds that roam around

[pine sapphire]

Hard disagree, there is a lot of exploration in the game already, while the combat is lacking. The progression of your character feels good, only problem is, all of the enemies are too weak, there is not enough of them, the animals on the planets fall over before they can even touch me, you could defeat the boss sentinel with a C class multitool with 0 upgrades no problem. It feels like the combat has never been touched since 2016 with how outdated it is.

[fiery coral]

But this is not a combat-focused game. Some players desire it I get, but at it’s core the game revolves around exploration, and I want to see it prioritized. Not saying we should never get another combat-focused update, but I’d like to see it held off for at least a little bit and give exploration a long overdue makeover.

I agree it’s a problem that you can shred enemies with a C-class starting multi-tool, but maybe there’s something else to it if it’s been unchecked for so long.

Someone brought up a great point on the Reddit about the seeming absence of starship specializations. It seemed that a fighter had the best attack, hauler best cargo, shuttle best maneuverability, and explorer best hyperdrive among others, but it could’ve been ditched because wanted to fly what they wanted. Maybe it could be the same way with multi-tools?

[odd horizon]

Gas giants should have floating islands.

[fiery coral]

Floating settlements in the upper atmosphere like Cloud City. A special exocraft used to traverse the depths and resist the extreme pressure. Rarer resource deposits and potentially new gases the further down you go

[odd horizon]

https://youtu.be/0APP5WcX8v8?t=36
0:36.
Like in one of pre-release trailers.

[smoky hound]

i want the ability to space people

[fiery coral]

Lemme spacewalk properly. I want to go EVA

I’d love to stand on an asteroid

Still though, imagine the new types of leviathans that can glide through the upper atmospheres of gas giants.

What about planets exceptionally close to their host star, where the majority is a sea of lava. Or tidally-locked planets, where one side is blasted with unending sunlight, while the other is blanketed in permanent night

[dense basin]

Just let us fly to a star and do something similar to my gas giant idea except instead of diving in, you just kinda skim the surface for materials and create a sun station to harvest things there. Like fuel scooping in Elite Dangerous

[odd horizon]

For that HG should create stars and impement orbital mechanics, which is higly unlikely.

[dense basin]

They already did it once but they removed it

Or so I've heard

[odd horizon]

Yes, they said something like "it was confusing to players to land on some point on a planet and later be lost in star system, 'cause planets moved".

[dense basin]

I can't believe we lost a good feature because somehow people got confused that planets move...

Also, lighting in this game is still completely broken and they need to fix it

[odd horizon]

I think, this feature was too hard to implement properly. Like, imagine if planets had reasonable sidereal year and you wanted to land on a moving planet.

[dense basin]

Yeah, I think it's too late to add orbits considering it'd be really weird to work with in multiplayer with how fast days go by on those planets

[odd horizon]

I wish when they will make generation update they will shrink planets to their pre-release size. Like what is the reason to have big planets, when they are self-similar? You saw one part of planet — you have seen whole planet.

[dense basin]

I'm fine with the way planets are now in terms of size. I just wish there was more variance on these planets. If a planet is mountainous, almost the entire planet will have tons of mountains. You don't get mountain ranges giving way to plains of grass or canyons dividing several dense forests.

Also, we need better procedurally generated POIs. The layouts need to be drastically altered at the very least. I've seen the exact same crashed freighters a billion times. Maybe sometimes the two halves of the freighter could be much further apart with the storage boxes scattered in between. Maybe one half is on the ground and another is deep in the ocean with the storage floating in the water and embedded in the sea floor.

We just need more variance to these things

[odd horizon]

https://youtu.be/Qv-Z4cgUMYM?t=63
https://youtu.be/7VJvckCmNBo?t=191
Check these pre-release videos. Planets was smaller.

[odd horizon]

100%. Especially I want to see more different ancient ruins.

[dense basin]

Also, I need more reasons to explore the ocean and make bases underwater

Because honestly, what do you even do in the oceans?

Oceans should have their own form of extreme weather, completely separate from the timing of surface storms.

[odd horizon]

Dreams of the deep one time..

[dense basin]

Also, more gravity variance between planets. Unless it's an airless planet or has gravity storms, gravity on every planet is exactly the same.

[meager shuttle]

I would love a base part that allows to show a screenshot.
So we can build museums of our journeys

[last chasm]

I'd love to see whimsical floating stuff. Like flora in the air and more "supernatural" stuff that are entirely sci-fi

Things that give new planets a bizarre look rather than keeping it to exotic planets which are quite lacking in fauna and flora

[dense basin]

Also, I find it very strange that the high flying creatures can't land. I understand why some of them can't but literally none of them can land

[fluid parrot]

Theres still no reason to make planets smaller it doent help exploration or anything.

[last chasm]

Giant eldritch fauna in planets, Deadly hazardous Flora, more ways for Fauna to attack and more behaviors for them would be appreciated by me

There is a lot of potential

[dense basin]

Maybe some creatures can pick you up and fly you into the sky, like how abyssal horrors drag you close to them

[fluid parrot]

Oh ya Hostile creatures need a masssive buff you can beat them no problem with a beginning mining beam.

They kinda just have a seizure while you attack them then die

[dense basin]

Also, just more procedural parts for creatures in general. Especially add some procedural parts to exotic creatures since they're all kind of a one-trick pony.

[last chasm]

Im enthusiastic we are getting variety very soon. HG aren't ones to ignore common requests tbh

[odd horizon]

It'll make places more "valuable". Like you found some tall mountain and know there are no other such mountains on this planet. Currently it feels shallow, because you know there is no unique places on the planet, everything is same.

[dense basin]

I think they're building up to it with the way staffs work. They're very new and out of the way. So testing some stuff on them would be completely fine

[fluid parrot]

Making it smaller with the same world gen system would still be the same, Mountainous planets would still basically all be mountains.

[odd horizon]

Also, planets have regions, but they are not used for generation. I think HG should use them like "forest region", "plains region" and etc.

[last chasm]

More biomes as well is very commonly asked

[dense basin]

Also, some planets with 1 or 2 extra biomes. Make them kinda rare though. I definitely wouldn't want them to be common.

[fluid parrot]

Im worried they are too hesitant to do a world wipe, last time origins only changed unloaded planets and added some new ones i think?

[dense basin]

I would 100% give up my bases for an update that adds some genuine variety

[odd horizon]

Well, then I can't describe it... Like planets in videos I share have special vibe.

[fluid parrot]

Although you could make flora related biomes like plains and forests with only a flora wipe

or ig reset

[last chasm]

Honestly its a massive up in content. Might as well give up everything

[dense basin]

Actually, if they made planets smaller but allowed caves to go deeper, that'd be a good trade-off I feel

[fluid parrot]

I dont think many people would care if their trees moved

some dense forests and wide open plains could be easily done, with only a flora placement reset and no planetary reset.

[last chasm]

Finally

Walking tree

[dense basin]

Also, fix the sea foam texture... actually just fix the water texture and sounds

It's very bad

[last chasm]

Color overhual would be nice as well

[fluid parrot]

Oh ya water physics suck so bad it would be cool to see some real water physics but maybe thats asking for too much for too little use.

[odd horizon]

Return to Foundation era pallete.

https://old.reddit.com/r/NMS_Foundations/top/?sort=top&t=all

[dense basin]

Also, I feel they need to just allow some planets to be ugly. That's just the nature of the universe. They kinda try to beautify everything a bit too much

[fluid parrot]

I would love if they just gave us a color wheel and two coloring like main and secondary with no restrictions on which colors go with what

Sometimes i want a wood wall thats just one shade of brown not brown with another shade of brown of stripes

[dense basin]

Also, more creature interactions and how about amphibious creatures that can just go from land to sea?

[odd horizon]

Spore-like ecosystem implementation would be cool.

[fluid parrot]

This game has so much untapped potential so its hard to not just go off on so many ideas, love the game as it is tho.

[dense basin]

An actual trading system between players instead of just the honor system

Yeah, I love this game. Which is why I want it to become even better

Also, stationary base defenses

[last chasm]

What i love most about the game is the fact it isn't abandoned

They had the option to grab the cash and give up the game from the start but game ain't dying. Real dedication

[dense basin]

Well, yeah. It's their passion project. They actually give a crap about making it better

[odd horizon]

Maybe they should start selling artbooks for example.

[dense basin]

Also, I hope they make it so we can own those pirate freighters eventually

[toxic slate]

I wish this is the way the planets were as well, instead of a very limited number of hand-picked color palettes all planets use. I understand the art team's desire to be precious and intentional about the look, but the look has also changed drastically over the years, even in their color choices. And it's adversely impacting diversity.

The color palettes themselves should be procedurally generated

There are good algorithms out there for creating cohesive palettes

[fluid parrot]

That would be awesome ya, The game has always been a little goofy they dont need to go away from that. Would love a planet with green rock and pink grass.

[dense basin]

It's why I've been playing modded whenever I can

[fluid parrot]

Also two things, Completely Water planets (Maybe specifically hycean ones) And gas giants.

[dense basin]

For full water planets, we need to actually be able to land in the water without fiddling around for a high enough landing spot.

[fluid parrot]

Ya i didnt think of that and prefferably would like some pretty deep water, so water landing would be needed to be added, maybe it could be a launch thruster upgrade making the planets somewhat difficult to get to.

[dense basin]

Deeper oceans and much bigger but rare sea creatures

[pastel minnow]

The game needs to have a system where if you scan an autophage camp and an object materializes into you, you should get yeeted out of it to avoid softlocking.

[dense basin]

Also, improve enemy starship AI please. It's so annoying that they continually fly through a freighter when I'm trying to fight them

[pastel minnow]

Agreed. Dogfighting is just bad in general in most games, NMS suffers from it too.

[dense basin]

Like, I don't need it to be a main focus but with how much they keep updating it, update the AI too

[pastel minnow]

Well, there's this.

[fluid parrot]

I think the biggest problem with combat rn is just the complete and utter lack of difficulty

Like ya neither the fps or ship combat is great but thats not its focus anyways.

[dense basin]

Also, interacting with objects on-foot in 3rd person is really wonky

[fluid parrot]

Even the new pirate freighter once you figure out the order of attacking things, it becomes pretty simple, still prob one of the most complex battles in the game, but not that difficult.

[dense basin]

It's at least a cool spectacle but once again, needs more procedural elements to it

Maybe the shields are powered a different way, maybe you destroy their hyperdrive differently. This other pirate freighter has faster torpedoes with less damage or slower ones that deal tons of damage

I feel HG may be forgetting the procedural core of the game

[fluid parrot]

I feel like no one noticed that the sentinel freighters got shield gens too that makes that battle alot more fun too.

It was in one of the patches but nonetheless

[dense basin]

They could also add some organic interiors. Like how you can get a living ship and the living frigates. Give us a living freighter.

You could make it so that no specific race pilots it because it's a living being

[toxic slate]

hard to tune difficulty when they've allowed people to upgrade ships to ridiculous firepower levels. trying to balance encounters between these people and the newer/casual players is probably not something they can easily do.

[dense basin]

Add lock-on missiles and make fights progressively faster to pair with your ship upgrades. Don't tweak the damage or health too much

[fluid parrot]

Ya thats fair i would atleast like some kind of optional late game battle thing,with more useful rewards, i dont feel any reason to fight corrupted sentinels, or sentinel freighters, cause the things they give there are easier ways to get.

[toxic slate]

The easy solution is power level scaling, but a lot of players would probably be upset because they want their endgame, minmaxed ship to do Big Damage

[dense basin]

I feel like somehow, freighters should turn into derelict freighters when destroyed, leaving only automated defenses like drones running, along with some extra loot

[fluid parrot]

Power level scaling kinda removes the progresssion part tho ya.

[dense basin]

That's why I suggested the pace of fights quickening rather than going too wild with scaling damage or health too high

[fluid parrot]

Why level your ship up if it doesnt help you at all.

[toxic slate]

I guess they could have encounter difficulty levels, with higher levels offering better rewards

[dense basin]

It needs to have varying AI for this kind of stuff. Like weaker AI have worse aim, slower ships and whatnot

[toxic slate]

the AI definitely needs to have worse aim. they just seem to hit 100% with their hitscan weapons

[dense basin]

Also, a bit of survival instinct so if they think they're gonna lose they attempt to warp just like pirate freighters.

Although you could make some of them really stubborn and fight to the end.

[fluid parrot]

Sentinel waves kinda exist as an optional further challenge but getting to wave 5 really isnt that hard and feels pretty useless since you can just get a sentinel pillar map for some navigation data.

[toxic slate]

I do like the addition of the ship power systems though. being able to shift power to engines and get the drop on an enemy is a nice change

[dense basin]

It'd be cool if sometimes even after defeating all the sentinel ground waves, the freighter spawned anyway and started firing down at the planet.

[dense basin]

Yeah, I hope they make more use of that system and flesh it out a bit more

[fluid parrot]

If they could do a Infinite wave mechanic after wave 5 that would be awesome, with scaling rewards

Maybe you have an easy opportunity to get out and shut down sentinels, and locate a pillar but could go further if you wanted.

[toxic slate]

ship battles might be more exciting and look cooler if AI fighters used missiles more than just firing phase beams and photons all the time

[dense basin]

I want a reason to actually move my ship forward instead of reverse and shoot

Increase the size of tornadoes

[fiery coral]

I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. Bring it TF back!!!!

Desert planets with blue skies are my all-time favorite type of planet. Introduce an atmospheric scrubbed to where I can change the color by pumping Nitrogen and Oxygen in!

Make the “gases” presented in the exploration logs like “Hyglese” AKA Hydrogen, actual elements

[fluid parrot]

Id love different types of oceans like the liquid methane seas that exist on titan in real life.

[pine sapphire]

That shouldn't be an excuse for the combat to be lackluster

[glass summit]

Man I would love to be able to customise my starship more, aesthetically. I love the ships in the game and I know there’s a lot of people with creative minds who could make some beautiful ships if they were given the chance.

[pastel minnow]

Let's not forget enemy ships maneuverability is 5000 times greater than the players and you'll always feel like you have tank controls in comparison.

[fiery coral]

Well, you have oceans existing on extreme cold worlds, I can tell you right off the bat that’s not water for a start.

[minor heath]

It’s ice

Liquid ice

[fluid parrot]

That's true but that defo feels more like we forgot that this shouldnt be possible or we dont care, would love to see a specific system for different types of liquid oceans, maybe with unique characteristics.

[toxic slate]

the low quality of the water seems to be something that most NMS players can agree on, yet it's something HG just seems uninterested in improving

[wind gale]

sentinal pillars can be made as more procedural dungeons with multi level interiors like they have for derilict freighters and populated with varying levels of sentinel types that we need to kill before disabling sentinel beacon

[pastel minnow]

Yeah I wish a lot more structures on planets were more procedural. So many of them have just one single model across the whole universe.

[fluid notch]

Crouching and/or sliding would be epic

I know technically you can slide down steep hills

But I mean like closer to a titanfall kinda slide

Plus having crouching opens the doors for like stealth missions of some sort

Would absolutely LOVE to be able to board a ship, npc or otherwise, in secret and do all sorts of mischief

It’s far fetched but I think it’d be pretty epic

[dense basin]

Before HG does any of this stuff, I honestly just want them to improve the systems they already have. They kinda add things and then leave the polishing for like a year later

[faint zinc]

A revamped system map wouldn't be bad tbh

it

can be difficult to find planets

[frail sentinel]

Sentinels that remember I just raided their facility 20 secs ago would be nice.

Also, Interceptors that would chase me for more than 5 sec and, you know, intercept me.

There is no sense of danger in the game even at the highest damage setting.

[green marten]

What about NPC combats? Ground battle by weapons or fight… Why nobody cares about it?

[vast wave]

Because combat is not a core gameplay element and it's tricky to get combat that would feel doable across all platforms and their input devices

[fiery coral]

I hope there’s an April Fools event next year where we can get our pets silly little hats to wear

Just imagine a big rainbow propeller hat

[fiery coral]

Plus I want to see more dance moves for Dino pets in general

[dense basin]

Fix the VR hud being stuck only to a single spot

[latent urchin]

Player customization definitely needs more additions

Along side with making the quicksilver cheaper for player customization items so that way it doesn’t take you two days to unlock one item of customization or inversely increase the amount of quicksilver missions

[last chasm]

Feel like nms gen would be a perfect demonstration of good AI purpose

[fathom tusk]

I would like see more whale like creatures in the sea where their just like those burrowing worms they swim out of no where

[empty steeple]

Dodo Rex

[pastel minnow]

I'd much more see the UI get more savable presets with thumbnails.

[latent urchin]

I was more referring to like visual customization

[pastel minnow]

Yeah I know. Just saying. 😄

[latent urchin]

UI presets is something I’ve referred to in the past tho

[pastel minnow]

Yeah it's just odd we have 3 with so much space left.. And they're just "1 2 3" instead of taking a snapshot of what the character even looks like.

[latent urchin]

Like the three save slots. Sure but I mean more player customization in general so more than just torso, legs, armour, gloves, boots, backpack, etc. like more patterns, shoulder armour (already exists with the armour but they aren’t separated), the option to not have armour, arms on their own and separate (for a scenario where you want only one mechanical arm instead of two), and just more options in the already existing categories as it and not tied to anything specific

[fiery coral]

Imagine if we could show some love to our living ships like we do with pets. It carries me across the universe, the least it deserves is a couple headpats

[shrewd cedar]

Console text chat PLEASEEEE

[final raft]

it'd be nice to allow special characters in ship names, particularly because if you accidentally try to rename an interceptor its greek letter disappears, and sometimes their name before you claim them is way cooler and i'd like to be able to set it to that

[zenith fjord]

imagine if we could walk around in a starship

[warm forum]

the beehive looking things that generate on some desert planets would be nice base decorations

[tawdry path]

We need a planet-killer weapon 🤣

[paper lily]

no mans sky missile update

[gleaming spruce]

So uh, matter beam for the living ships perhaps?

[vapid tree]

I want to be able to walk through my entire frieghter and see like crew living quarters and whatnot

[little socket]

a much more revamped cockpit, like someplace where we have a 360 to look around and a working yoke n stuff

AND AUDIO PLS J HIRE SOME VOICE ACTORS SO WE DONT HAVE TO READ

reading isnt the problem btw it j makes the game more immersive and realistic ig

[last chasm]

Ship terrain manipulator that affects a big landscape of the planet?

You either dig a massive hole. Raise a mountain or flatten a plateau

[serene zenith]

No Man’s Sky has had an amazing dev team that have brought new life to the game since I've logged 500 Hrs in solo gameplay (mostly 2019). The balances to the game, the QOL fixes, and additions to the game have made it an amazing experience to keep up with. I’ve been waiting for a few specific patches (sentinel combat, avenues to explore, planet types to discover, etc.) that have arrived over the last two years. Thank you Hello Games!

Though upon returning I still feel a lack of immersion when exploring planets, which I think most would agree is a core experience to a space exploration game. Immersion comes with feeling like you are really stepping onto a new planet with a new look and feel. While I agree there is a great diversity of planet types, the topology and fauna leaves much to be desired.

Some of what I suggest I understand may be easy or challenging but I truly believe it will benefit the feel of No Man's Sky immensely and will easily add hundreds of hours of gameplay for the explorers of NMS.

General:
Planets are likely to have multiple biome types (especially based on geographical location on the given planet and distance from the given star), allowing multiple biome specific fauna and flora types on the same planet.

Topology should vary based on a variety of factors, (planet type, age, and proximity to their given star, biome, etc.)
Topology Suggestions: waterfalls, lakes, streams, lava rivers, gas lakes and pockets, geyser fields, steam and lava pits, tar pits, discernable mountains, more ravines and cliffs, deeper and more in depth cave systems, Crystal formations, underground/water exclusive topology, underwater waterfalls, hidden gardens of paradise, volcanoes, craters, discernible coastlines.

More interactable weather events.
hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, wildfires, eruptions, earthquakes, mud/rockslides, avalanches.

More interactive and types of buried ruins (culture based statues and buildings from past and current NMS species)

Flora & Fauna

Making Taming more valuable and important to the player/players who choose to do so.

Prey Fauna should adhere to a certain survival strategy like herding (or agility, heightened senses, etc.)

Predator Fauna should adopt certain hunting and scavenging strategies (stalking, pouncing, scouting, etc.) (maybe select a few fauna models (air, sea, land) could be alpha predators that offer a reward or adding trophic levels)

Allow larger scale cultivation/livestock benefits and late game scaling, and add diversity of uses for fauna/flora (harvesting materials, battle mounts, etc.)

Making more Flora types (vines, fruiting trees, carnivorous plants, flowering plants, water specific flora, more harvestable flora with benefits, roots that hold you in place, etc.), and also making flora more interactive with the player.

Flora & fauna should have exclusive interactive experiences seeing how they share an ecosystem (prey look for specific foods, fauna types are attracted to certain flora, etc.)

MEGA FLORA/FAUNA (<livable space plz??)

Flora genetics system (increasing yield, growth time, hybrids, valuable mutations)

Flora Hybrids (based on planet biome makeup)

Collectible fauna (terrariums, & companions)

Space & Random

More solar and space events that can potentially interact with planets (comets, solar flares, temporary anomalies, eclipses (eclipse exclusive events and aesthetics)

Space exclusive fauna GIGA FAUNA (bosses, tames, harvestable, collectible space whales that move through space/create blackholes/portals to desired areas once tamed and can be summoned with a call)

Tide systems based on moon(s) and proximity to other celestial bodies

I'm not an expert in any regard to game design or ecology but I can feel this game's planets are lacking any real and diverse experience. I hope to see the game continue to grow and flourish and I hope to be there to experience it all. Safe journeys travelers!

[granite cosmos]

I like the hood options on the autophages
I know they're specifically modeled for those heads but maybe there could be a way to make hoods work on other heads
Like an auto adjusting hood

[tepid ravine]

NMS with more in-depth RPG elements, and full-loot PVP with territorial conquest.

Dying drops your multitool and stuff

[pastel minnow]

Once the Korvax/atlantid arc concludes, I'd really be hyped for a first spawn focused update. Like Gek remnants who hate the current Gek for being brainwashed and are also in hiding like the Autophage, but are unwelcoming to you.

[night crater]

A feature where you can set free a species on a planet for it to inhabit it. So you choose an egg and put it on the planet and the next time you vitis the planet your pets species will live there.

[daring iris]

I wish that at some point the starship trail thingy will actually change the colour of the thrusters as well because right now anything other than the dark matter starship trail just looks straight up goofy, in my opinion. For example, the green starship trail should make the thrusters green and not purple, temporal trail should make them blue, etc.

[toxic slate]

I just think it's goofy that the engine contrails are still a thin line -- which IMO looks horrible -- instead of matching the radius of the engines they trail from

[carmine sphinx]

Saw this really long post. To sort of agree(?) I know it’s a sandbox game, but I wish there was more going on in each planet to make me feel like I could really get “involved” in whatever was going on there. The exploration is fun, finding settlements and space wrecks and all that is enjoyable, but I would have a lot of fun if there were settlement NPCs and small quest lines to give you some sort of sway on that planet - maybe interplanetary rewards for doing so. I know those are more like RPG elements but I think they could be nice. It’s lonely out there in space.

[fiery coral]

Perhaps the only way I’d accept a universal reset is if everything is redone. Have we come too far or is there still time to do all this updating to exploration.
It’s either all or none. But I’d still miss my pet

I don’t see how they’d do it any other way? What other purpose would there be to do a universe reset?

[fiery coral]

Planet Zoo!

[sweet oasis]

There are so many cool animals to collect and experiment with eggs and only having the few slots we have is incredibly limiting, like people who want to collect one of every cool dinosaur they see or something, there should be the ability to get more slots (even if it costs more) or at least a pokemon computer style way of storing them so even if you cant call upon them you can still have them, the diversity in animals is so strong that having so few slots is just a massive annoyance, and there arent even enough personal wonder slots to put cool animals in there

[fiery coral]

I’ve been saying this since the beginning

[sweet oasis]

I dont care if i have to reserve 100 gigs of storage just to store as many pets as i want

and for the most part im keeping it more like a "book of cool animals" and a few that i can bring along for adventure

has the devs outright said that they arent going to do a pet improvement?

[fiery coral]

Yes!!!!!!!

Make it like a Pokémon PC system or something

[sweet oasis]

THATS WHAT I WAS SAYIN

[fiery coral]

Maybe HG can create an account system, so all pets across multiple platforms!

[sweet oasis]

cause even if the reason you cant have a bunch of pets is "oh you cant take care of that many its cruel" or something, just flavor text it as "oh yeah when you unsummon them they just go back home"

[fiery coral]

A “pet cloud” of sorts

[sweet oasis]

because its getting to the part where im going to have to do what the builders do and make multiple accounts just for animal storage

[fiery coral]

I don’t blame you

[sweet oasis]

cause having a fucking notepad and writing down "on planet venuin in the solar system grinkpoo X there is a silly little creature that looks like a cat with a giant turtle head, very silly"

isnt fun

[fiery coral]

Yeah, or just pray the systems space station isn’t erased from your catalog if you didn’t build a base

[sweet oasis]

cause like its a massive thing holding back the exploration/animal discovery/animal collection side of the game

[sweet oasis]

wat

[fiery coral]

You don’t visit space stations to go back to a place you want to visit? Overtime as you visit more, the catalog gets updated.

[sweet oasis]

wait but are you saying that if you dont build a base, the space station teleport list can just start deleting them?

[fiery coral]

I don’t know for sure, and I hope that’s not the case. That probably came out wrong but anyway, I agree. I’ve filled up my phone with pictures of glyphs trying to go back and forth to planets, and I understand why you’re at the point with the whole notepad thing, it all needs a revamp

Why haven’t there been mods to increase pet storage capacity yet? You think that’s be one of the first things they put out, even back in the day when we only had 6 slots

[sweet oasis]

I heard that the amount of pet slots is "hard coded" into the game so modders cant change it without it causing corruptions

cause that is the ONE mod i want, i hate mods normally but this is needed, i would sacrifice having achievements for this

[fiery coral]

Agreed.

[sweet oasis]

and like, a little animal pc storage right next to the egg incubator would fit so well 😔

Id love to know if they are intentionally limiting the amount of pets and if theres a genuine reason for it

[fiery coral]

Better yet just put all the pet stuff in a brand new wing of the anomaly. Maybe a playpen too where you can show off your ACTUAL pets, not just holograms, and other players can interact with them.

Give us a whole new list of toys to research and enrichment activities. It’d be adorable!

Space Petting Zoo!

I’d love it!

[sweet oasis]

and in that area could be a pet upload, show off the cool species you found online and other people can see it and you can optionally show where its from

[fiery coral]

Exclusive cosmetics too for the pets, give trust level with a pet an actual purpose

[carmine sphinx]

As for pets: do we have a feature where we can make them fight online?

Pokémon style?

[night crater]

Yeah but like they spawn there. Or you can make it so there is only 1 rendered and that happens rarely.

[stark ingot]

Genuinely I just want some neon colors in this game

[fluid notch]

I would love that

I would like to be able to have more direct control over my frieghter and fleet in general

Like locking onto a target and then having a quick menu option to have them open fire on it

Would be sick

Also controlling a turret on a frigate or capital ship would also be really fun

[pastel minnow]

I'd definitely love an event where your freighter gets under attack while you're inside it and you have to manage the freighter's canons or something to defend it.
If those get taken out, you just jump into your starship.

And of course an option to disable it for those who wouldn't want that.

[stoic tendon]

You know what would be even cooler, freighter on freighter battles. Your freighter vs a pirate dreadnaught

[pastel minnow]

That too! Just the ability for your freighter to get attacked while you're inside it.
It's kinda weird how you have to warp in your ship to show up to a space fight instead of it happening when you warp with your freighter too.

[stoic tendon]

Yeah!

Oh and any combat frigates you have in your fleet can join in

[pastel minnow]

Damn now you got me thinking.. the pirate freighter can't be damaged with your freighter, so your crew wants you to get in your ship and take it out, but that's when the pirates send out their own ships.

[stoic tendon]

Infiltration!

Oh imagine all out space battles with several freighters on each side, the chaos would be glorious

!

[pastel minnow]

Yeah.. now that I think about it, it's weird how the freighter to freighter battles are always positioned in the same way. Imagine if there were 2 or 3 fleets close to each other, both oriented in different ways and the freighter could be on the left or right side of either of them.
That would be one hell of a spectacle, and there's no way you're saving all of them lol

[pastel minnow]

Man.. I really want a First Spawn faction now.

[fiery coral]

First Spawn Capital Ship as an exped reward

[pastel minnow]

I was thinking more like a very violent Gek faction that are also in hiding like the Autophage that you meet later in the game.

[fiery coral]

||I want to see Desert planets in the way that Earth looks in Starfield, an endless wasteland with no flora||

[visual cloak]

ahh look, a spoiler for starfield in a place i would not have expected a spoiler 😔

[dense basin]

Allow us to actually use shelves. They just don't work.

[stray girder]

Reading emote

[fiery coral]

My bad, shoulda covered that

[visual cloak]

hehe np

[fiery coral]

But really though, sometimes a featureless world is a feature in itself. Imagine rolling dunes planets, or Badlands planets with gigantic hoodoos like Bryce Canyon National Park. I just want more variety

[lilac crane]

There are worlds like that, sort of.

But they aren't deserts, they are dead worlds.

[fiery coral]

A dead desert world. A wasteland with fauna is what I want to see

[toxic slate]

well they would need to add real sand first. but I'm not sure fauna could exist on a planet without some types of flora

[slate grail]

Fauna needs flora to live

[fiery coral]

I still think life would find a way

[pastel minnow]

How do creatures grow fun on hot planets? How do plants and animals not react to storms whatsoever?
Life uhh, finds a way.

[faint zinc]

We got biological multi tools

then we got living ships

We got sentinel multi tools and sentinel ships

We just got atlas multi tools

atlas ships?

surely they’d have some sort of gravity bending technology and be better than all other ships

maybe even weapons unique to atlas ships

and it would be cool if the atlas ships had detached floating components

[cosmic gazelle]

sentinel interceptors already have the anti-gravity well

[sweet oasis]

manually setting a distance for an object (aka place it while floating) so it has to be placed while touching something /being able to turn something with set amount of degrees of rotation / manually moving something in set directions (local or global xyz) and by set amounts , i am so used to warframe base building that this seems what we have now is very very difficult to work with

also not being able to rotate something in place without having to pick it up and potentially move it from the perfect spot (if its not a snap on piece)

[sweet oasis]

also you should be able to go into a pets species tab of info from the companion register

[last chasm]

"Alien" body type ideas. Body types that aren't exactly based off earth animals.

• Upspider: They look like arthropods with many legs. Their eyes and mouth are below their body in a radially symmetric form while their legs are attached to their upper body. Often large in size.
• Stalker: Slender or pear-shaped humanoid fauna that may or may not have a head. Their most prominent feature is a long stalk-like neck and long arms emerging from the lower part of their bodies. Often tall and can climb large flora and terrain.
• Protomole: Slow-moving fauna. Marked by thin worm-like bodies and large teeth that they slam onto the ground to mine terrain.
• Wart whale: thick quadruple fauna with a very large circular/oval body with warts growing all over the place. When attacked or disturbed they release toxic gas near them.

[toxic slate]

Yeah, the lack of truly alien fauna was a big disappointment for me going back to the launch of the game. The difference between the fantastical alien landscapes of the concept art vs. the "earth but a little different" that we got in the game is pretty stark

They've added a few more weird alien creature types since then, but it's still mostly variations of deer, badgers, and dinos

[supple night]

I want theories regarding future expeditions based on all that we know about the lore leading up to this point. ARG content included. Does anyone have any? I've been thinking a bit, but I don't know how to articulate my thoughts right now.

[sweet oasis]

There should be a "smooth out" option for the terrain manipulator, it doesnt make things flat like the flatten tool but smooths out edges

[lilac crane]

Autophage staffs look a bit awkward underwater, the animations/poses could use some improvements.

How about underwater Staff parts? A trident head has easy style points.

[last chasm]

There should be "save areas" that you can set up that cause terrain in that area to not reset

I wanna see terrain manipulator art and sculpting

[sweet oasis]

i mean peoples bases already have the terrain reset in some places randomly, imagine the amount of underground/cave bases people would make if they didnt need to worry about that, im currently makign a cave base and if i have to constantly mine the walls a bit so be it i need my cave dwellings

[last chasm]

Stuff like bunkers and basements would be cool

[somber parrot]

For the terrestrial modular bases, it would be neat to have a flat solar panel ring or plate that would go on top of either the cylindrical or square modules. They would generate as much power as multiple individual solar panels and you would not be able to build anything else on top of that particular base part.
The individual solar panels can get pretty cluttered, especially in modular bases.
Eventually having solar roof panels for the wood, stone, and alloy base parts would be neat as well.

[devout stratus]

Base defences

Would be cool

Or being able to walk around your ship

And being able to upgrade weapons on your freighter so you can use it to fight the pirate freighters or sentinel freighters

[oblique smelt]

Craftable base pass door keycards. So you use them for opening specific doors. You need to have it in your inventory to have it work.
You make a card and "name" the card "Door A" and you can only open the doors with it that also are named same way. "Door A". You can make "guests only" areas with it or "vip only" area

[unique coyote]

Part of me wishes the game would give me more storage units that 10 in base and 10 on my Freighter. also I wish I can own several freighters because I am hoarder and like to collect things. I need storage for modules. I also would not mind the ability to build Empires sort a speak. and please raise unit cap make it so I can have as many credits as I can get I hate limits.

I also need factory stuff and production. I need something to occupy my autistic mind.

and starfield limits me it angers me with limitations.

[vast wave]

You do realizes you get 12 starships with over 100 cargo each?

Multiple exocrafts each with some cargo

Exosuit, freighter with 120 cargo

And it still ain't enough for you?

[unique coyote]

I just want to be able to put everything in one place.

[vast wave]

Yeah, it's called a base

With 10 storage units, 50 slots each

[unique coyote]

yes that is only 500 slots dont mean much when you fill things up with modules and things that dont stack high. I need more than 500. I just need a sort of minecraft chest so I dont have to sift through ships, bases and other inventories looking for what I need

I am trying to say I am a hoarder I just need storage because I also like building factories and doing logistics things because I like setting up mining machines refineries and than building conveyors between them and using said resources to make things I like automation.

[vast wave]

You don't need more storage, you need better organisation of your existing storage

Sincerely, a fellow hoarder who is color coding their inventory boxes to have them match the full columns of resources with still lots of slots available in my statships

[unique coyote]

That maybe true but even that will fill up. It would be nicer to have the ability to craft crates as I need them even if the boxes only held 10 slots per box I can build more as I need them where as I need to get more ships or other equipment and bog myself down with it rather than storing it in a structure which would make organization easier. and the more ships and equipment the longer you are sitting there looking for the ship at least with a depot you could have signs to point you where you can find things like a library of sorts.

I keep most items I get because I do way to much building not to. I never know when I need it because in my mind I can have too much refining power or too many mining outpost I really do need a more centralized point to organize everything specially where I like to keep up expansion It would get to the point where I have hundreds of ships I am likely to Quit starfield because the limitations are too restricting for me. I just need more If I could get mods on console I would mod them in.

[vast wave]

Mods will not save this problem because scoping of modding is limited

We can not add new functionality to the game or go beyond the save data structure

It has 10 entries for 10 base storage units, that's it

I never know when I need it

Then why don't you ask community about these resources

What to keep, what to sell, what to use in any other way

Maybe you're sitting on some goodies you dont even know about

Don't go advocating for a bandaid solution "just add more storage plz" that will fall off once you fill those as well

And you'll be back here, asking for more storage again

[oblique smelt]

I have a 2 haulers. 1 just for modules . Second just for building materials. With rest of ships and freighter its more than enough. MAYBE i would want bigger storage for food items because there is a LOT of food items and seperate container for pet eggs because 18 eggs cap is not enough imo

[fluid parrot]

Ya I feel like limiting storage containers is totally unnecessary imo, If we could get local chests that don't go across all bases and stuff, but you have no limit on, that would be great.(one problem with this tho if they ever did a planetary wipe again you'd lose your stuff)

[fiery coral]

I'm glad this is getting more traction. For a seemingly endless universe it sure is strange that all the sentient spacefaring races are humanoid. Take a page out of Stellaris' book! Aren't there more than a few species where they're just blobs? What about the Rock-based or Aquatic-based lifeforms DLC?

I wish ships reflected the species that built them as well

What would a "pure" Vykeen ship look like? What would the average Korvax include as technology in theirs? Imagine finding an ancient crashed ship, just one out of millions as a remnant of the Gek First Spawn Empire

[fiery coral]

That's what *all planets are, not just paradise ones. I want Deserts, true deserts! A planet-wide Sahara! It doesnt even have to be real physics-based sand dunes. Just give me my wasteland and Badlands!

[toxic slate]

The storage container limit (and other limits in the game) is likely a pragmatic one. All game information is included in one giant XML save file. If they allowed unlimited storage containers then the save files could balloon massively and either run into platform limitations, cause slow loading/saving, etc.

[fiery coral]

Im still baffled there's no local storage, that that wasn't in the game from Foundation. Of course, it helps with not losing stuff but I'd love to make stashes on my homeworld

[unique coyote]

i personally would be okay long load times and i would not see too many issues with it considering Minecraft's does not have the limitations. Minecraft's limits being so astronomical that it would take millennia to reach. i mean yes 2b2t reached well over a TB but that server has hundreds of players and has been active for well over a decade a single person likely would not use that kind of space in there lifetime.

[toxic slate]

I can't speak to how Minecraft handles save files. If NMS used cloud save then perhaps this wouldn't be an issue, but then we would lose the ability to fully play NMS without an internet connection

[somber parrot]

One thing I REALLY dislike about the new Dreadnought battles on PC is the S key is used to slow down, but it’s also used to target lock and if you hit it, you will target lock on one of the various pirate starships that are flying around instead of slowing down. This can make it difficult when trying to get to the different spots you need to get to on the Freighter, especially when you’re trying to get there quickly and slow your approach enough that you can fire without slamming into the side of the freighter or completely miss your target and suddenly you’re facing a different direction.

[white jolt]

I’d like to see NPC squadron pilots actually deal damage to enemies one day.

[lilac crane]

You can remap the key in controls.

[somber parrot]

Good to know. I think I went to try that and was having troubles finding where I could do that but I will check again. I’m probably looking in the wrong place.

[somber parrot]

Mine do a fair job of getting in the way and it’s annoying.

[white jolt]

Yeah that’s all they seem to be good at.

Which is sad. Being a squadron leader seems so cool

[shadow sleet]

Basalt update when?

[normal fox]

other hirable npcs could collect resources from your farms which you can choose what and bring them to a central location, it would make stasis farms much more efficent

maybe an attachment to landing pads with a termianl to talk to npc's

[normal fox]

i have it set to toggle so i just have to press e to enable and e again to disable no remapping needed

[pastel minnow]

The bug with it was fixed a while back.

[shadow sleet]

not what im talking about

we need more uses for basalt

[pastel minnow]

Oh lol
Agreed.

At least it has a use.. Unlike cursed dust.

[shadow sleet]

Cursed dust?

That's a thing? @pastel minnow

[pastel minnow]

Yes lol. It was a resource for expedition 4.
And it was added back in Outlaws as a reward for a pirate mission.

[shadow sleet]

oh lol

Basalt
(and cursed dust)
Update when?

[oblique smelt]

Coughcough* hex core, cough* station override, vortex cube, trade goods, ship scrap cough * hexite,geknip, nipnip buds

[pastel minnow]

Also freighter engine thing has no use.
And station override too.

[somber parrot]

That’s a great idea!!

[whole rose]

Keyboard / Mouse support on PS4 / PS5? Or does that break licence terms with Sony?

[devout stratus]

What about actual battles between the races

Multiple freighters fighting and we can use ours aswell

Or on the ground you can fight with loads of NPCS against other races or against sentinels

[grim hemlock]

Minecraft does it

[vapid tree]

I would like anomaly specific frieghters that look like players. Make em super rare but they have amazing benefits

[pastel minnow]

I wonder if there will be even more combat updates. Kinda nuts we had so much focus on it for 4 updates in 2 years.

[whole rose]

As does Astroneer; but given the way the game has a Sony presents splash at the beginning, it is possible Hello Games has an investment from Sony to develop the game, the terms of which might restrict them to using the controller only.

[grim hemlock]

Oh. That makes sense

[toxic slate]

nah I don't think Sony limits devs from adding keyboard support

if you want it, best to send a feature request on HG's zendesk

[normal fox]

would be cool if economy would make buildings differnt, like a poor trading post just be some cleared dirt strips and a trade termainal, and conflic- low nothing chnaged- high buildings having cannons and guns

[pastel minnow]

I wish every other asset in this game got the same treatment as sentinel ships and asteroids.
They have basically infinite variations now but lots of buildings all have the same one exact model across the whole universe.

[normal fox]

hopefully now they know how to go about it

also i really just wish ship customization, even if only colour

my first solar ship i love exept its a bit orange

if they were gonna add bigger ships for like more people, they could add a larger landing pad onto the existing outpost and a new dock on the other side of the space station

[pastel minnow]

Yeah I think color changes could be fine the same way we unlock it for freighters.
But I always thought if they did ship customization, it should be done in a way like how they did staffs. Something that takes work to do and it's super cheesable.

[normal fox]

it would be cool if you had standing with people that you could get cutom stickers for ur ship or if you did quests

[pastel minnow]

Like, if you could just instantly go to a space station and just start spending units to change your ship just like that, that'd pretty much suck.
There's opportunity for new gameplay if they do it right.

Oh I like that idea.

[normal fox]

have some sort of expense and dont having be able to change too much

i think to make shuttles useful as well an item that lets you carry a passenger maybe up to 4 or something, then you can also have new taxi missions

[pastel minnow]

Or why not be able to change everything but each change gets much more expensive like inventory slots.
And maybe you can get an item that allows you to change a ship part without having to spend units. 😂

[normal fox]

lmao, i think ahaving another base npcs that deals with ship parts so you can have another store to buy things in, and maybe they offer a daily parts or smthing

[pastel minnow]

I'd rather see the current shop overhauled. Quality over quantity.

[normal fox]

yeah that too, korvax shops having better scanner and launch tech while vykeen having better weapons and geks being geks

[opaque ivy]

I want some basic quality of life functions in the galaxy map. Multiple way points, being able to manage very very far waypoints in the map so you can try to warp to old visited systems and know how far away they are,

[normal fox]

i would love to be able to plot trade routes or like an upgraded economy scanner that picks a trade route thats the best for what you have on you

[vapid bison]

I want them to make smuggling a bit harder and add multiple biomes for certain planets

[pastel minnow]

Best QoL for the map: get rid of the 5 year long cutscene of telling you where an atlas station or black hole is.. Which also disorients you when it's finally done.

[normal fox]

i think evry time you warp back to a normal system from a pirate one it should scan you, and the space station should shut the docking door until u die or kill the sentinal ships\

[gloomy hazel]

yo when are the mobile droppable-from-orbit mining rigs coming

[oblique smelt]

After pvp servers probably

[oblique smelt]

Overhaul to incoming storm sfx. Something like this

But more sinister with lightnings etc.

Hot storm could have flames erupting from the storm cloud wall incoming

Cold could have ice blocks/rocks/crystals

Toxic would be wall with shades of green

Radioactive would be yellow with small explosions.

[pastel minnow]

I have a far more ambitious idea...
Weather that isn't binary.

Like different levels of rain and rain existing doesnt automatically mean death.

[oblique smelt]

One does not rule out the other

[opaque ivy]

We need storms like the storms we observe in the actual universe. Storm cells that last virtually forever, larger than a moon, planets where it rains glass and molten rocks. Look up the most extreme/horrifying planets that have been discovered and suddenly no mans sky feels so tame. There are some planets where one side is constantly facing its star, while the other half just stays in darkness and the half that faces it is so close its just a perpetual molten hell scape. But theoretically there might be a sweet spot along rim.

[opaque ivy]

there are really pleasant rainy planets where its basically always raining but only storms a little bit.

When i first heard about no mans sky, something about the narrative of everyone starting far apart on the outskirts of a galaxy journeying to the center and meeting there really captured my imagination. I think they are trying to capture the same feeling with the expeditions and stuff. But I think it would be really interesting if there was some greater existential threat to the community in game that required people to work together somehow. Like a supermassive black hole, some kind of cosmic explosion, a supernova, a rogue planet on a collision course with the galactic hub.

I think what might be missing from no mans sky is some kind of procedural physics engine/mechanics that allow for a dynamic universe. Planets need to have cores, heat, they need real orbits, the water needs to have waves and flow and be impacted by outside forces. But that would be remaking the game from the ground up. So No Mans Sky 2. But for now we can at least hope for surface level changes to make things have the qualities of a dynamic universe

[opaque ivy]

oh no i killed the chat

[toxic slate]

good luck running that on a PS4 or Switch. I think a bigger issue for me is the fact that all storm systems happen on the entire planet simultaneously. The single biome per planet limitation has never bothered me, but I think weather should be localized

imagine seeing a storm system raging off in the distance as you chill at your base

[oblique smelt]

I think its possible. Ofc it wont look as good on switch or ps4 as on ps5 or PC, But its just visuals. No advanced ragdoll physics. No colisions.

[toxic slate]

It's a volumetric cloud system which is computationally expensive, they would probably build it the same as the weather clouds. Which don't look as good on PS4 because of CPU limitations

I'm not saying it wouldn't look cool, though I don't think they could get it looking that nice in the game

[oblique smelt]

I have ps4 and its a base model not pro and the clouds look quite descent

[little ridge]

idea: make worlds have different biomes, not like they have different reasource nodes like where you can place a miner but have access to that material, and different weather than the other areas making stuff a lil harder

[normal fox]

not all planets should though like a superhot planet wouldnt have ice caps

[little ridge]

yah like it has to make sense

[pastel minnow]

I've accepted what NMS is and wants to be.
It seems to have a curse of people wanting to.. Not be a video game or something.

Like other times you hear criticism of "What's the point of doing things" or "Stuff repeats after a while"
.... That could be applied to every game ever made but for some reason NMS isnt immune to these criticism while other games are.

[opaque ivy]

How dare you accuse me of wishing no mans sky was the universe and not a video game made by a small indie team. We will settle this in the only way I know how. Player made no mans sky pin ball. The highest form of PvP action known to No man in the no sky.

[pastel minnow]

Permadeath. Center of the last galaxy. Meet me there.

[opaque ivy]

I am very slow, but i will try

im assuming there is a flag pole

outside the school at 3 pm or something

IN THE FUTURE

I will get beat up

ina front of all known galaxies, streamed on twitch, etc etc

All I wanted a game built on a dynamic. extreme physics engine, what I got, was a pounding.

I'm not compaining about the game in its current state. I

I am currently in love with and totally absorbed with it

The only thing that lulls me to sleep at night is listening to random youtube channels describing how hostile and absurd other planets are. in our solar system, lightyears away

whats it like to fly a ship through neptune? its just a lot of life destroying gases and ice and ammonia and volatile diamond rain storms and things i cant even comprehend being in a game. But we can have a little of it maybe.

[pastel minnow]

Honestly the biggest thing that would drastically change NMS for me would be the removal of "fake stats" or whateve you wanna call them for squadrons, settelements.. And something else that I can't remember right now.
As well as much better NPC animations and see them interact with stuff around them way more.
It would make everything feel way more alive.

[opaque ivy]

You are so right

you just gave me a great idea

They need aa planetary destruction update, rogue planets, asteroids that kill all the dinosaurs--and it only gets triggered after you have a settlement and a...squadron. And the planetary destructive force tragically kills your entire squadron and settlement, but they gave their lives to save the planet and system itself

featuring procedurally generated back stories--which is the funniest and moist interesting type of writing so where the hell is it in no mans skyt

im not complaining actually though

because sean is a hindu god for sustaining all doubters and going forward no matter what

[pastel minnow]

As amazing as that sounds, I dont think stuff like that will ever happen simply because the world is super static and everything always resets.
Economy.. Terrain.. You name it.
It's why sentinels get deactivated throughout a planet temporarily cause it's nit a feature as much as it is a limitation.
I also theorize that's the reason outposts dont get destroyed when pirates attack them.. Cause you'd come back and just see it fixed.

Only exception of any permanent influence across the game are player bases.

[opaque ivy]

actually, the last time i played before this recent update, the sentinels basically never stopped

no matter how much you'd hide or fly away or terrain dig yourself away, they just never stopped

but the last time i payed was a while ago

before now

meaning years

[pastel minnow]

Yeah thry gave combat a point and made it much better.
The update advertised the ability to deactivate them across a planet, bzt temporarily.
Many wondered why not have it permanent and I think it's just because their engine can't do that.

[pastel minnow]

Oh man, hope you're not overwhelmed 😄

[opaque ivy]

Im overwhelmed by my life and i hate my life. But playing no mans sky and having a virtual cosmic junk drawer on my capital ship has sort of renewed my interest in life

now i look at things and think " thats really beautiful, must be very rare, i should upload this discovery"

[pastel minnow]

Yeah I know the feel unfortunately.

[opaque ivy]

but the latter feeling is really good actually

i hated my life already with or without sean murray doing his murray dance

[pastel minnow]

Except I rename everything in the most stupidest name possible and get excited by the idea that someone mught come across it and just wonder "why the fuck did someone name all these things like this..."

[opaque ivy]

thats half the fun

the fact that you name things for other people to one day maybe see is the reason i bought the game at launch

even though all of my old discoveries were obliterated by the hand of god doing updates. I accept my fate.

I think im going to start a permadeath run, and everything i discover wil be named ohio

creatures, plants, minerals, systems

Ohi

ohio

until i die

and i will die

[pastel minnow]

XD

[opaque ivy]

and then i will make a new permadeath

everything will be Ohio 2

and so on

Mans Search For Meaning

Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.”

[pastel minnow]

I couldn't do that, I need to name everything the dumbest things ever

[opaque ivy]

we will turn euclid into Ohio because we understand WHY its funny

Ohio IS the dumbest thing ever

i live here

Columbus is actually nice

but Ohio is a joke, i can hardly believe its real

like Pluto

like the eye of jupiter

[pastel minnow]

Hue moment.

[opaque ivy]

our life is a storm that rages for eternity and means nothing

mercury is a thin veneer of meteor/sun scarred rock but mostly a solid core of metal

venus is just fucking venus

[carmine sphinx]

I named a system Maine. I’m just naming things after towns that sucked

[pastel minnow]

If IRL was like NMS, there'd be furry animals casually walking around Venus.

[opaque ivy]

i recently named a rainy planet seattle

[carmine sphinx]

We need to give every system a very mundane state name, with planets being mundane towns. Make the most mundane quadrants of the galaxy mundane again

[opaque ivy]

it took me a minute to understand what you meant, for some reason.

[carmine sphinx]

I did too. Probably for the same reason

[opaque ivy]

"Town Street System"

[carmine sphinx]

[opaque ivy]

So if no mans sky was how it was in real life, where there are furries, than all venus like planets would just be furries

[pastel minnow]

If IRL was like NMS, there'd be trees on the frozen surface of Mars with naked animals walking around casually.

[opaque ivy]

thats fine, as long as its not all the venus like planets

[carmine sphinx]

If no man’s sky was like real life, furries would be exiled to Venus, like in real life.

[opaque ivy]

i dont understand the joke

[carmine sphinx]

Or humans exiled to earth. Take your pick. Idk I don’t play sonic.

[opaque ivy]

Im your venus! I'm your fire! your desire!

[pastel minnow]

Oh come on, I'm a furry but I keep that away from NMS, I only said furry animals. 😔

[carmine sphinx]

Ooo

Haha. Ok. Back on topic.

[opaque ivy]

yes, the future

as we all know, in the future there is only war

[carmine sphinx]

Still want to be able to walk around inside of ships that are bigger than the radiator-pillar

[opaque ivy]

someday perhaps we will have startrek, but we cant have startrek if we don't first have warhammer

[opaque ivy]

whats a radiator pillar

[pastel minnow]

I want our freighters attacked while we're inside them.

[carmine sphinx]

Starter ship

[opaque ivy]

huuuh?

is it called radiator pillar?

[carmine sphinx]

Like, I’d enjoy having some mechanics like the game FTL but in this game when flying ships that have more than just a cockpit

[carmine sphinx]

Starter ship is a one-person scouting vessel at best in terms of size.

But some “one pilot” ships are quiet big

[opaque ivy]

All of our ships except the school buses are one pilot

[carmine sphinx]

But likewise it would be nice to have some ships between being smoll one person things and massive vessels

[opaque ivy]

and the shuttles

[opaque ivy]

like frigates

[carmine sphinx]

The frigates are huge, no?

[opaque ivy]

where a coop of 4 friends can pilot and man turrets etc

[carmine sphinx]

Something the size of the millennium falcon. Yeah

[opaque ivy]

mini frigates then

Frogs we will call them

froogets

[carmine sphinx]

Like there is smoll ship, massive frigate. No Firefly sized, no millennium falcon sized, etc.

[pastel minnow]

Froogets?

[opaque ivy]

freighters--frigates---freights?

[pastel minnow]

I like calling shuttles Shittles.

[opaque ivy]

ii dont know how these things work

frits?

frigs

i thought frigates sounded weird to begin with

like, are we blue collar workers on the docks of baltimore unloading freighter ships.

[carmine sphinx]

Something to make multiplayer a bit more fun. Have a group of four friends in one ship shooting down other ships, or groups of people all in multi people ships. More variety

[opaque ivy]

or are we flying cosmic motherships across space

[opaque ivy]

something to make life more fun, having a group of four friends

where do you get the friends?

from space?

[carmine sphinx]

It’s one thing I enjoy about Star Citizen, I have a “firefly” ship and can store a few people in it. Save my game in space.

[opaque ivy]

from seans bag of tricks?

[carmine sphinx]

In the anomaly, where all can ignore me scream.

[pastel minnow]

People want gas giants just for scenery.. Meanwhile I want gigantic weird object as part of the background. Way bigger than the solar system itself. Like something from the graveyard in Homeworld.

[opaque ivy]

in the anomaly i can walk into people and scoot them around and it looks like im dry humping them and there is nothing they can do

[carmine sphinx]

I mostly go there to beg. I’m a poor.

[opaque ivy]

i love helping people! what do you need

also you can moon walk!

[carmine sphinx]

🥲🥲🥲

[opaque ivy]

i havent figured out quite how it works but ive done it many times

[pastel minnow]

Give them storage sacs.

[carmine sphinx]

Still early game so I’m always low on the credits I need to fix my half broken stuff.

And somehow lost my tech for advanced mining beam and idk how to get it back

[opaque ivy]

i can give you credits, what i can give you..is....stuff

[opaque ivy]

dude, i just read your about me

or i think i did

unless it was a dream

something about the 5th dimension

yes, yes it was you

[carmine sphinx]

I have an about me?

[opaque ivy]

i dont know, but i clicked in your name/profile, and it was lyrics

to a song i like,

[carmine sphinx]

Ah it was. The age of Aquarius

One of my favorite songs from the fever dream of my childhood

[opaque ivy]

yes! by the 5th dimension.

[carmine sphinx]

Yeah!

Gives me chills that song

[opaque ivy]

In the ohio system where I live, in no mans sky, in the future, there is a dance party that happens once a month that plays soul and funk and oldies, and they always play that song and i just lose it, it fills me up with starfuckery

gives me the strength to carry on it does

[carmine sphinx]

Wait wat. You can play music in this game?

[opaque ivy]

in the future, in no mans sky, in a discord, in a wartorn future where there i only war

you actually can

[carmine sphinx]

Ah

Oh that’s sort of rad

[opaque ivy]

thats not what i mean though, but there is a thing called bytebeat

and in game music is a thing

i know nothingabout it

[pastel minnow]

The game has a whole daw within it.

[carmine sphinx]

Really? So you can make your own music?

[pastel minnow]

Yep.

All the audio samples are chiptuney tho.

[carmine sphinx]

I’ll need to check it out. Make my base sound like Mario

[pastel minnow]

But you can play your music from your exosuit or even put speakers in your bases.

I once visited someonevs base and heard interstellar play there. It gave me a giggle. 🤣

[pastel minnow]

I wish some Geks wore the hoods they added for Gek players in Interceptor.

[carmine sphinx]

I wear the wok on my head. Makes me feel at ease when begging for scraps at the anomaly. Next update they need to add a little cup I can wave around and people can drop their credits inside. Each credit gets me one point closer to the title “Stealthdorf the pitied”

[restive zenith]

“In need of credits for exotic ship”

[pastel minnow]

You can use one of the hologram emotes.

[carmine sphinx]

I could unlock that too 😎

[spring rose]

I use hologram emote to glitch out and t-pose in the anomaly to strike fear into the hearts of Travellers

[raw wind]

Can we get an industrial Solar panel and industrial Battery pack? for big projects or bases?

[vast wave]

Guess we could, but we already have the EM generators, those provide lots of power and don't require batteries

[pastel minnow]

They're buggy right now. If you start moving while you select them, you T pose or your animations grt frozen and you can more around like that forever until you select the emote and unselect it without moving.

[candid belfry]

A few comments. I do love this game so anything I say below is positive criticism rather than me being horrible.

1- Everything feels a bit clunky, especially the two menu systems via two buttons... but maybe that's just me... So many times I click the wrong menu when searching for stuff. And playing on controller it's a drag to move across the inventory screen, can we not perhaps have a box/panel click system so we can just press left/right/up/down to hop between items?
2- Can we PLEASE get an auto-sort button for inventory.
3 - Even if we can't have more biomes, can we at least vary the topography a bit more? Rivers, waterfalls, deep ravines, cave systems, mountains of varying intensity... As now it feels like every other planet is just a different coloured version of the last. Even despite the flora/fauna....
4 - more POI's on planets... maybe with I dunno really rare cometics or rare furniture like in Starbound/Terraria like I dunno chairs/tables that can only be found in Desert POI's or Lights that can only be found rarely in Swamp planets? Or costume parts relevant to planet types....

[pastel minnow]

1 used to be so much worse. They vastly improved the inventory in Waypoint.
Everyone wants 2,myself included, no idea why HG doesn't implement it.
4 we get more points of interests with every few updates, like the sentinel pillars, echo camps etc.. My only criticism is that they all have one single model and aren't visually varied at all.

[oblique smelt]

Yes. More variants of poi. More variety in everything. Thats what game need most atm.

[floral tartan]

I think a living freighter would be awesome and maybe some exo suit styles based on the living ships

[floral tartan]

Also maybe a ship building or modding ability perhaps along the lines of the autophage multitool staff build? or the ability to add decals to your ship/exosuit etc

[spring rose]

Decals would be cool but idk about full ship modding cuz I think people enjoy ship hunting

[candid belfry]

i mean yeah re:4 make the models more diverse, maybe give them species relevant buildings, so that way there's a choice of 4 building styles rather than the 1 standard...

[spring rose]

Ohh species relevant would be really cool yeah

Cuz rn the inhabitants are different sure but all the buildings are mostly the same

[grim hemlock]

Where are custom ships???? 🙏🙏

[oblique smelt]

In our dreams

And they are amazing

Custom parts

Colors

Diffrent color palets

Customizable cockpit screens

Stickers

Body kits

Rims

Audio systems

Lowrider suspension

Riders on the storm playing from huge speakers

[grim hemlock]

YES 🙌

If there was only an update that only includes that, nothing else, that would still probably be my favorite update

[pastel minnow]

Imagine a world where we have ship customization and ship hunters realize their playstyle isn't impacted by it in any way whatsoever.

[oblique smelt]

Thats preety easy to compromise with ship hunting. You need to work for custom ship by scraping ships and gathering random one time use part blueprints.You use scrap and trade items for part part. and the ship you build will be X class. So it can be worse than C or slightly better than S class. And it would give ship scrap and trade goods other use than sell

[soft bronze]

Some lush planets should have toxic storms instead of heat

[visual cloak]

how about normal, light, gentle rain (unless i forget and they added that)

[marble tendon]

Player made space stations are super nice to see built, it's a shame they have to use bugs to build in such places, ||afaik anyway|| so maybe a way to build orbital space stations could be good

[gloomy hazel]

For player made ships, I'd just have player made ships be their own ship type

Just have one class be exclusively custom made

Make them super versatile in what players can spec them out to do

[pastel minnow]

I want something really stupid like D class shuttles.

Like only shuttles have a 50% chance of being D but are super cheap because of it.

[grim hemlock]

I think different custom upgrades and parts should raise or lower the rank

[spring rose]

X Class would be a good way to do it yeah
Cuz Shiphunters would still enjoy finding good combos of the natural classes (plus it'd be good if natural S class is better than most or all X class ships just so that there's more reasons to ship hunt)

[oblique smelt]

For making ship you could also need the ship slot modules. You could also get pigment/paint from scraped ship to get the desired color.
Or just paying with nanits for color before assembling ship , like 75k nanites.
Oor 5k per painted part.
Oooor part blueprint will include part color. So you can make very multicolored ships if you want.

[spring rose]

Something like that could be really cool yeah
Hopefully they can implement something like that in a way that doesn't ruin or make ship hunting obsolete

[jaunty compass]

I wish planets were more lifelike ie crazy weather, and gas giants, more diverse animals and fauna (not just like 10-12 each) preferably like 30+ different fauna and flora each. procedurally generated Civilizations and cities etc actually on the planet. Possibly adding a large amount of procedurely generated new alien races(similar to how the flora and fauna are but overall more in depth).
Also add in underground aspects like deeper more in detail caves(imagine caves and cliffs minecraft update but in no mans sky) also introduce a mechanic to drill to the planets core and a multitude of new resources that can be obtained. Allowing for mining outpost(adding onto the current outpost system)
I would like to see space stations with more unique designs and overall a overhaul how space stations work(make them docking and fueling(credits) taxes) also have them produce specific items that can be more rare based on the system and to be able to acquire the item production you could initiate a battle and fight a large fleet(multiple waves) of the alien race that owns the station.

Another idea is adding in more automation for later game allowing for factories and acquiring large amounts of credits and potentially creating the ability to buy entire star systems allowing for progression of starting out with outposts and mining by yourself and moving your way up to being a complete corporation. Allowing for player to player trades as there can be products cheaper and a self sustaining economy. This would hinge on a significant amount of more worthwhile items added from the aforementioned potential updates.

This would also allow for the game not to expand into the T(teen rating) as it’s a lot more of a defined game with significantly more depth.

[quasi quail]

Put in actual villages and civilizations for each planet but maybe only next gen update BC old gen consoles can't handle that stuff probably

[jaunty compass]

Yes I think it’s time games star abandoning old gen console support. It’s detrimental to the majority of next gen users. And the ideas I outlined are things a old console couldn’t run.

[quasi quail]

Yep

[sinful hinge]

I would like to make a suggestion

[pastel minnow]

I'd like that, but I'm not hopeful since the game got ported to Switch a while back.
As if HG isn't interested in letting NMS truly spread itvs wings and are simply interested in doing ehatever they want with it.

[sinful hinge]

I want to be able to sort and/or filter my frigates by type when I am listing them

[pastel minnow]

That'd be a nice feature

[pastel minnow]

No experimental branch update in a while.. I hope they're focused on another update and will plop it shortly after the current expedition ends. 👀

[oblique smelt]

Something will happen after all QS shop rewards unlock

[pastel minnow]

That too.

[obtuse cedar]

Suggestion: Gek's with moustaches

[normal fox]

I just subbited an idea for planets that are just like any other hot, cold, toxic, ect but they are devoid of plants and animals

a bit like the pre- atlas ones

[dark patio]

Allow us to rebuy the legacy parts.

[pastel minnow]

Geks with hoods like players. 😔

[last chasm]

I'd love it but not for every planet

They could be rare-ish and mainly in lower conflict or uncharted systems

[quasi quail]

Maybe only for paradise planets?

[last chasm]

They could be system-related. Lower conflict = higher chances of generating. The type of dominant civilization equals the behavior they are likely to have

I'd like to type a paragraph about this later

[obtuse cedar]

We need more Gek customization options.

#GekMasterRace

[pastel minnow]

I mean for NPCs to have more variation in general.

There's one extremely overlooked feature in Echoes where every NPC now has different body types and height, and I swear only I noticed it lol

But I still wish for more visual variation lile clothes and such. 😅

[obtuse cedar]

Oooooooooh..

..I'm still vouching for Geks to have moustaches..

Who doesn't want a walking seal with a moustache?!

[oblique smelt]

I dont think hair can grow on beaks tho

[gloomy hazel]

We should have a place to show off all our ships like a garage or a way to have multiple ships down on a planet at once. Yk for the collectors. And maybe a multi tool display rack

[obtuse cedar]

I mean.. We couuuuld say they're fake moustaches from party stores?

( https://cdn3.volusion.com/avymr.mqvyp/v/vspfiles/photos/MOUSTACHE-MQ-2.jpg?v-cache=1542778217 )

[daring iris]

Food for thought....

I think the frigates are a bit slept on. I was checking out my fleet earlier today and there are only some walkways, the landing pads, and some screens which serve a purpose anywhere else. On the pirate frigates there are 2 "Damaged Storage Modules" or whatever they're called (i forgor 💀) where if you interact with them you get a similar thing to the green cargo drop boxes where you have to remove something to gain access to the container, but there is nothing to remove. Furthermore, there is no visible area for where the crew could be, no place where one could at some point perhaps pilot the frigates, just like those ones that fly across a planet's surface sometimes.

[charred horizon]

you think frigates are slept on, animals can use their tools but the game doesn't even tell you what each tool does nor are cooking recipes worthy other than nanites. they just give haz protection.

[verbal shadow]

I just want to own one of the new Dreadnoughts you fight in the freighter battles. They're awesome

[outer plover]

I want to see exotic mini starships... just saying I've seen my game glitch on loading them in and they are sick looking some of them.

[violet vortex]

@gray badger Acquaint yourself with our pinned channel rules. They're part of our server rules.

[lucid nova]

Let us pet the wild animals. It gives a random chance of the animal doing nothing or immediately becoming aggressive. I just think it’d be funny to pet an animal and have it rip you limb from limb

[raven saffron]

Found the cat owner

[pastel minnow]

This is even more dumber than my idea that some shuttles should have a super cheap D class and I love it.

[faint zinc]

I wish plants and animals were somewhat rare

just for realisms sake

but nms isn’t trying to be realism

It’d actually feel special to find alien life

Maybe for a future nms

[grim hemlock]

Yea.. that would be really cool tho

[pastel minnow]

Well you could go to abandoned/uncharted systems to sort of have a feeling of it.

[rapid tinsel]

The sheer amount of missions you need for all five guilds (including pirates and autophages) is insane. No one in their right mind would do 510 missions. Please rework, hg.

[restive zenith]

Pilotable frigates

[woeful aurora]

Let us be able to fly out freighters like we can fly starships, that’d be sick

[last chasm]

The ||void||

[pastel minnow]

I would if the missions were entertaining.
Right now it's "A to B" and you know exactly what'll happen every time.
It'd be great if you were tasked to do something but events would always branch out into unpredictable stuff.

Kanaju made a video pretty much explaining exactly how I'd like to see missions reworked.

[rapid tinsel]

They also removed almost all of the ways to stack missions it's just not fun but it's the only titles I have left so ig I'll do them eventually

[pastel minnow]

They have? I know pirate missions can't be stacked at all, but some space station and autophage missions can.

[rapid tinsel]

It used to be the majority of the space station ones can but now it's the sentinels and animal quests

I really want every title but I really don't want to do 500 missions

[pastel minnow]

Yeah same.

Also I dunno if it's intentional but you can complete a regular mission and submit it in an outlaw station and vice versa.

[rapid tinsel]

You don't get outlaw standing though right?

[pastel minnow]

Actually.. I'm not sure.
I know you get their standing by destroying fleets, but I never checked if doing them missions would give standing. I mean, you should, right?

[turbid portal]

For now no man sky just doesn’t feel like a game to put a lot of hours at least for me, I play it more like a game to kill some time because even if it has cool mechanics and story it just doesn’t really feel cool to grind on the same planet with a different color palette 15 times

It just gets kinda boring for me

Really hoping they make a cool update about that

[pastel minnow]

@turbid portal Tons of planets have visual variety but the reason they all feel the same is because we mostly focus on the same buildings and assets we interact with.
If there's a variety update, the game would benefit so much more if existing content got variety instead of just adding new content like what Origins did.

[turbid portal]

Visual variety meaning a different color palette and different fauna and flora? you really got a point tho, more content depending on the planet would be great.

[boreal loom]

It's been said a lot but I feel like it's worth mentioning that planets having multiple climates/biomes instead of just one uniform look throughout the whole thing would be great aswell

maybe have temperate planets have more arid climates at their equator and arctic climates at their poles

[pastel minnow]

It's not just more content per planet..
Dissonant planets are exactly that with content that no other planet has, but there's still the issue of "find one dissonant planet, you've seen them all" because they all have one model for echo camps with the same exact interaction, one model for the broken autophage with the same interaction etc...

Just, the actual content instead should be varied, not NEW content that gets old after the very first interaction, you know?

I basically want HG to do across the whole game what they did with asteroids and sentinel ships.

[boreal loom]

Even if they'd have to cancel all other updates for a whole year, I think an update like that would 100% be worth the wait.

[pastel minnow]

I dunno if it would even be that big of an update really. It's not adding new content and functionality.. just giving existing models more variation.

Like, imagine knowledge stones having 50 models instead of one across the whole universe.. combine that with sentinel pillars, outposts, portals etc..
I don't think it would be more effort compared to brand new content and mechanics, but it would certainly have a much greater impact.

[boreal loom]

True, especially if they make everything randomized so they don't actually have to make 49 extra models for the knowledge stones.

[pastel minnow]

Yeah basically the same system starships have would be awesome. You'd just keep running into new stuff. 😄

[scarlet hinge]

anyone done any data mining to find what the next expedition rewards will be?

[oblique smelt]

No info on that or data in game files yet

There was mined items that will be next after jetpack trails in qs shop

[scarlet hinge]

So its going to be an update on the 16 and be broken for the first 2 weeks like last expedition?

hopefully it'll focus on more of the harmonic parts of the game like exp 10

[rapid tinsel]

What are they

[oblique smelt]

Idk

[toxic slate]

I kind of doubt we will have another expedition this year. Probably one more medium-sized feature update this month or in November, then they will rerun old expeditions for the rest of year while they go on break in December

[hollow sedge]

It would be cool to see massive amounts of automation... auto crafting, shipments, auto trading..

Maybe base defense and planet based piracy? Nore base modules with functions too... observatories and breeding facilities...

asteriod bases and player built space stations...

[paper plank]

Add on to that, Let’s also get the ability to custom build ships to our desire. Picking which parts and salvaging material for it. Not just upgrade modules.

Also add more NPCs and civilizations to the planets and game overall. Also add a new S class Frieghter and think how cool a Elder Wand MT would be!

[hushed knot]

also while some may think it stupid but multitool combat is kinda jank so something like starfield combat would be nice also fighting something other than sentinels too but thats just me

[hushed knot]

there has to be, all the reruns were preceded by four expeditions weve only had 3 since the most recent rerun utopia, singularity and voyagers

[pastel minnow]

It's cause your player casually jogs around snd the enemies are slowed down to make it fair.
But yeah it's really meh because of it.

Also the fact that sentines spawn EXACTLY where you're looking at all grouped together doesn't help either. I wish they showed up around you in intervals.

[lucid nova]

Add large quadrupedal player mechs (think like the corrupted quads but a lot bigger) specialized towards resource gathering.

[hollow sedge]

Maybe even blimps..

Massive rockets to send peices of ships up into orbit?

Coustom capital ships...

[rapid tinsel]

I hope instead of new content they make current content better like frigates and settlements

[pastel minnow]

This game clearly needs trash planets where instead of storms, the danger is garbage frigates dumping trash rain onto you.

[outer plover]

Thatll be kinda not good as for everyone will avoid those places

Unless the make the even more toxic or whatever with new types of loot ..

[soft scarab]

a bonus could be that salvaged data and random installations spawns more there

[outer plover]

Or give us new update with more different mods for freighter...perhaps weapons for capital ship battles.....

Idk that could be interesting on the pvp... part of the game because the pvp is at a minimum right now.

[soft scarab]

yeah theres a lot you can do with a trash planet that you can easily explain

that will also make them worth while for players

[hollow sedge]

Blackholes actually doing something would be awsome.... maybe somthing more with the portals and atlas stations.

[paper plank]

Hear me out .. Add a new planet based event to the Procedural Generation. Let’s bring the next update as “Gladiators: The Last Battle” have the Last Spawn NPCs operate it

[outer plover]

As long as they give content that make the players want to go there ..right

Fire idea though

[rapid tinsel]

Make it so you can combine frigate fuel into bigger portions

[hollow sedge]

Maybe more respurces or like, chemecstry? Let us build our own tool mods and upgrades

[paper plank]

What player doesn’t wanna 1v1 the NPCs? Have they not been with them long enough? I’d like to drown a Gek villager in my Settlement 🤣

He’s got issues with everyone.

[paper plank]

Atlas Ruins, as if He fell to a planet and was destroyed by pirates

[vagrant jasper]

please Sean

I just want a procgen update

[quasi oriole]

guilds would be sick

[paper plank]

Hell ya. Especially a guild fight option where if two guilds initiate a fight it matches with others looking for a fight

[rapid tinsel]

Add three new tech for the exosuit so we can finally utilize every slot

[quasi oriole]

it would be cool to be able to create your own guild, and claim a space station of a system or build a guild base, nad use the freighter to fight with your friends

[hollow sedge]

How about making a station

[weak jasper]

I wish that:

1. on foot combat was more in depth
2. npc's had more animations, (it is goofy to me to see them repeat the same ones so frequently)
3. the conversation option somehow had more "substance" rather than just select 1 of 4 options
4. each faction had more of a presence when you explore around

• both in space and on planets
• can have it tied with your rank
• would be cool to see the outlaws flying around and sometimes the sentinels after them (you can choose which side to help - increasing/decreasing rank + giving small rewards)
• outlaw "gladiatorial space combat" - or a new faction
• would be cool if your ship/freighter got boarded and you could defend/attack/plunder from the inside

5. there was an option to have a "defend your base event"
6. more variety when it comes to exploring planet surface (in terms of gameplay loops)
7. more quests, both overarching and radiant

• I wish you could befriend some npc explorers and see them out in the wild/meet up with them/group up potentially

8. basebuilding options:

• have semi-underground sections (where terrain won't regenerate)
• npcs visit your base to buy and trade (rather than the market just invisibly change)
• have a snap to ground button to make life easier for you when placing objects

9. an npc that rewards you for breeding specific types of creatures and hand them in to him/her (giving the player more of a reason to do so)
10. meteors sometimes have unique things you can find (maybe for a questline, or collectable, etc.) (rather than just gold/silver/etc.)
11. space stations had more going on, it feels very dead to me:

• npcs just standing idle not interacting with the environments,
• all space stations have essentially the same stuff/placement/look on the inside

12. cosmic events

[pastel minnow]

A bunch of these have been improved over time.
"on foot combat" especially got entirely overhauled from what it used to be..
stand still, sentinel stand still, exchange laser beam damage.. sentinel dies.. doesn't drop anything unique, no end goal, no rewards..

[weak jasper]

That's fair, but they can definitely be improved!

[paper plank]

I’m building a gladiator pvp arena actually

[weak jasper]

neat

[pastel minnow]

The big thing about combat for me is that the player casually jogs around instead of entering a speedy combat mode or something.
So all the enemies are dumbed down to make it fair on the player moving really slowly, and the whole combat feels boring and slow because of it.

[hollow sedge]

Maybe a sprint module could be added

[soft scarab]

im surprised thats not already in the game

[toxic slate]

speedy combat... when I was still playing on PS4 I could melee boost faster than the ground textures and flora could load in. I don't think the old platforms can handle even speedier combat

I'm excited by the radio silence though... really hoping we get the leaked [redacted] in the next update. I haven't had a big "wow" moment this year with NMS yet

[pastel minnow]

Terrain loading used to be very bad different, it loaded in a fuzzy way and quite close to you.
Now terrain 'morphs' into existence and from much further away. I mean you can even see trees from your frigates now.

But yeah, last gen is really strugging with the game it seems. Dunno how much HG will be able to push their updates to them.

[toxic slate]

the addition of dynamic tessellation in the NEXT update is what really set back terrain texture loading on the less capable platforms, and they've never really recovered to their former glory since. IMO I think it was a mistake to put it on all platforms, but I suppose they wanted a unified aesthetic

[meager edge]

i wanna be able to pilot my freighter

[oak agate]

I wanna see the game developers add a system where people can make can make clans together and claim certain sections of a galaxy and we get to have a all out war and you get amazing rewards and certain planets will be more valuable then others so certain planets with be full of battle and chaos. They can also make so that players can go to a different galaxy to fight and other players can go to different galaxies to relax.

[lucid nova]

Everyone thinks piloting a freighter would be sooo awesome, but in reality it would be extremely slow and hard to maneuver. Games like X4 do capitals really well, but NMS is a different game completely. There would be no benefit to have a pilotable freighter, especially considering how the freighter is often worse in combat than the player fighter

[hollow sedge]

I think its more of a qol thing not a fighter thing

Having a mobile base would just be awsome

[lucid nova]

But freighters are already mobile bases. You can already summon them wherever you want with no additional costs

Manual piloting would do nothing and it’d be terribly slow

Not to mention, I doubt the game can handle structures like those actually moving

[hollow sedge]

Who says freighters would he slow?

Their engines are huge and space has no fruction x3

[lucid nova]

They’d be slow because of the sheer amount of mass they have

And they have little to no control thrusters, so they’d be able to go forward and that’s it

I know NMS doesn’t go for realism, but it’s pretty widely accepted that capital ships are slow af. Also, those big thrusters are hyperdrives.

[meager edge]

most of the time the freighters just sit there

[hollow ermine]

...and I just want to be eble to sleep, have more expressive emotes and have a drink/meal with people at all those cool restaurants/clubs people are building.

and to name my character

My inner roleplayer is screaming for attention

[rapid tinsel]

A good fix for that would be an animation for eating food

Also buff foods they are pretty bad

[paper plank]

Nah I want to pilot my raider frigates and use the torpedos myself

[paper plank]

My NMS RPC is an intergalactic Gangster Korvax. We gots all the nips in galaxy 94

[restive zenith]

Maybe pilotable frigates would be better

[echo scroll]

different types of stars and systems would be cool

like brown dwarfs, red dwarfs, neutron stars etc

that would mean stars not being background anymore though

[hollow sedge]

Maybe thats what we want

[echo scroll]

i mean i wouldnt complain

[daring iris]

Many of these have probably been said, but anyway - things that I would put in the game IF there was a "add to game automagically" button:

• The ability to claim a pirate capital ship as your own. Between 10-20% chance for the ship to open a communications line (instead of engaging the warp drive) offering you control of the ship as a substitute to destroying it.
• Modular ship building, where you can mix and match bits and colours of any ship you have flown before.
• Make it so you can own a station and customise what's in it, maybe a shipyard kind of thing where frigates can dock with the station or something idk... you could take the abandoned stations and rebuild it to your liking and make it a normal space station again, or an outlaw station, and you can add to it whatever you please customise all of it down to (metaphorically) the soil in the plant pots
• The ability to use assets from the NPC bases when building a base so small camps blend in with the landscape more seamlessly
• Atlas starships and perhaps some character customisations leading in that direction
• The starship trail technology would actually change the colour of the thruster exhaust from purple to something else so trails other than the stealth trail don't look straight up goofy
• A "sort inventories" button for storage modules 0-9. I want there to be a button where everything across those inventories, if there are stacks of the same item in multiple inventories, for that item to be put into as little stacks as possible. just handy to have.

[slender mist]

I want more chairs to sit on 🪑💺

[wind moat]

I want multiplayer on switch, and ship interiors

[storm plover]

I want to be able to land at my base and not have to wait for the doors and all my items to appear so I can go right in and use my terminals.

[oblique smelt]

I want no more game crashes

[vast wave]

Is that really an issue recently?

Since Singularity's release, I havent seen any crashes

[oblique smelt]

Consoles still have them

[cedar rock]

I crash in the anomaly daily

[rose peak]

I really think it would be nice if the minotaur had a melee option, so we could smack sentinel drones out of the sky

[gloomy hazel]

That mino is straight up stalky. Though I do love how he leaps damn near on your head if you pack off somewhere. lol

[pastel minnow]

Bind the turn off/on button to a key, pressit rapidly and watch the mech do squats.

Sit right behind the mech as he does squats to give NMS an 18+ rating.

[lean lodge]

Add color modifications for the boltcaster. Don’t want it blue all the time 😂

[stiff ferry]

125 hours in only one crash, personally. But I'm sure think it's a PS5 issue? Fill out a support ticket?

[cedar rock]

I'm sure they know. It's always when finishing a mission and flying into the anomaly. Happens once a day

[proud musk]

I think more planets devoid of fauna or flora, with occasional space ports could help break up the repetition of the basic tropes/builds that you start to see everywhere, as well as making a planet with life feel more special. About balance or stranding players: players could have the option of traveling to a space port or calling with a transponder to get picked up, then at the port you could get a shuttle to the space station or a planet with life

[solar shale]

Would like it so we don't have other players bases in our game if we play with multi-player off...I want my universe to be mine...

TERRAFORMING...

[lucid nova]

Add perfect worlds, where there are no hazards and life support only drains on jet pack use. Make them really rare or difficult to find, perhaps via a monolith

[vapid bison]

I just want a tiny galaxy in a box as a ship decor

[smoky fossil]

Is there any word on cross save? Have started on the ps5 but wouldn’t mind switching to my steam deck. 🫣

[teal shard]

Past expedition items buyable in the QS store, please, I'll give anything for a worm egg

[last gazelle]

Well the whole point of expedition rewards is to be exclusive...

[terse fog]

also previous expedition is available at the end of each year's rotation

[proven fog]

sand planets would be nice to have, but this was alredy suggested over the years

maybe a convenient way to get them would be like a subclass of the barren (desert) worlds but with low amount of mineral and flora, and with sandier textures

[vast wave]

Worm egg is an item that can be traded between players, so if you can play MP just find a player with one and trade for it

[opaque ivy]

I ve seen and texture barren planets. Not as barren as what we are all wanting tho

[proven fog]

Yeah, just make that soil texture the main type of texture on certain worlds an you pretty much have sand worlds

Back in the atlas rises era one you were able to find seemingly sand like worlds

[unborn spruce]

i think being able to unlock the ability to replay expeditions from the quicksilver shop is the best idea

for example 3000 quicksilver and you can make expedition 4 saves

thoughts?

[rapid tinsel]

More than that

[restive zenith]

Like at least 6000

[terse fog]

i have mixed feelings about this, since it's the equivalent of "making expedition rewards unlockable with quicksilver"

thus defeats the whole purpose of expeditions in general

[unborn spruce]

i guess i dont like the idea of them removing so much from the game

expeditions are sometimes entire updates

then theyre gone. never to be played again (by normal means)

that doesnt hit right with me

[unborn spruce]

actually, i dont think you can at all. i was thinking an illegitimate older version of the game could do it, but thats not really how it all works, is it?

[pastel minnow]

They also seem to be like testbeds for upcoming content.
Often times they add new stuff in an expedition, remove it, and then the next content update includes it again in the vanilla experience.

..Though sometimes they're useless, like cursed dust, echo seeds and something else I'm forgetting..
They exist in the game but have absolutely no functionality outside of the expeditions they were originally a part of.

[rapid tinsel]

9999

Per save

[rapid tinsel]

It's not it's an event I have the way they make expeds fomo

Would be cool if you could do them whenever

[oblique smelt]

161616

[rapid tinsel]

Yeah

[restive zenith]

Older expeditions should cost more

[teal shard]

I think...and hear me out...that the color black should be

Ya know

black

Like, I dont understand why the visible option is darker than the actual color on freighters.

[last gazelle]

It probably is black, but freighters just have so much surface area the light kinda messed up the color

The black on multitools looks fine though

[last chasm]

I know the game would be a lot heavier and that'd involve a whole rework to the entire map but i do wish they made it so stars are a thing

It'd be really cool to venture out really close to them and harvest materials while having your ship cooked to a crisp

[oblique smelt]

I think its good price per exp.

[gloomy hazel]

Easy to find Rank S frigates when you beat the game

[soft scarab]

are space walks a thing, if not i feel like they should be

[last gazelle]

If you're even "lucky" enough to make the game kick you out of your ship, you pretty much immediately die to cosmic ray bombardment 😂

Happened the other day to me on load

[soft scarab]

Yeah, I found a way off a frigate and died almost immediately

[last gazelle]

The frigate isnt the same

That's death to life support failure

Oh if it was out of the frigate zone though

[soft scarab]

I jumped off one of the balconies and slid off the ship

[rocky oar]

I did that too.. and then just spiralled to my death in space.. honestly not unsatisfying..

[soft scarab]

But isn’t that why we have all the layers of protection, and life support

[rocky oar]

I want pirate expeditions that you can send your frigates on

[icy onyx]

I'd like to see procedurally generated dungeons like the Derelict Freighter dungeon on the planet's surface.

[pastel minnow]

We all want that lol.
