Though I understand why they're not a thing. HG seems to have a tricky time getting assets to work with terrain. It's a lot easier to control derelict freighters since there's no planet terrain they have to worry about.

Just check the galaxy map

#

Top left shows the galaxy

#

Open the galaxy map and under where it tells you how far the center is it'll say (Euclid) or whatever galaxy

#

Ohhh

#

There's probably a place for that

#

You can always just look at the space station in the teleporter I guess 😂

#

That's how I usually do it

Hi there, I love NMS and I want to share this:

Devs could consider add a heavy hostile system with an evil alien race, like a real challenge to end game content. I think it could be an excellent paid dlc if is done right

rustic steppe
#

grox

#

if it's paid dlc it can't be more than 10 dollars because the game is already super expensive

unborn raven
#

I strongly disagree @rustic steppe, the price the game right now is $30? I got it for $15 time ago, that's not "super expensive" xD the game already offers A LOT for a reduced price. AAA releases cost $70-$80, that's a expensive thing xD

rustic steppe
#

NVM its thirty dollars

#

which is still fairly expensive

#

not everyone has a bunch of money to spend on games

#

I gotta eat man

unborn raven
#

and gotta work too

rustic steppe
#

if they needed money they could release a 10 dollar cosmetic dlc for supporting them

#

something that people get something for while supporting them but doesn't exclude ppl who can't afford to spend that extra money from a big in game thing

unborn raven
#

Maybe is not a general feeling but considering the story of the nnm evolution I think they have already delivered a lot of content and big updates for free

rustic steppe
#

but if they don't need extra money to keep profits up and further development then the only point is greed

#

besides I don't like the idea of excluding people who can't afford to spend extra money all that often from something bigger than cosmetics

unborn raven
#

Well this could go on forever xd

rustic steppe
#

and we already paid for it

#

and like I said

#

if they need money

#

they could release a support dlc that adds cosmetics or something

unborn raven
rustic steppe
#

they always leave the discussion when they don't have a good point anymore don't they?

unborn raven
#

Haha is not that, actually your point is super wrong but my time is more valuable than yours to keep arguing sorry 😉 that attitude of "I paid once and so give me free content forever, I can't paid more for your extra work" It seems so immature to me that there is no way to dress a real talk with it

rustic steppe
#

ikr? paid dlc is against the philosophy of the whole NMS team too

#

what culture what

#

genuinely thought you were gonna say American culture

#

I confused myself man

#

I thought like you meant a country's culture or a national culture not like a general culture of bigger games

#

it's the tism

marble tendon
#

A tutorial overhaul ? Idk it feels like it doesn't retain the new player for long enough to get them really into the game, getting to the anomaly or atlas feel like the true beginning of the proper game to me

#

Also, Vehicle AI would be appreciated, taking inspiration from Subnautica, it really made me love each of the vehicles individually, there's no better feeling than entering a vehicle and it welcoming you

#

"Welcome aboard Captain. All systems online"

#

Definitely needs an overhaul

marble tendon
#

The whole not having a spaceship for a solid hour is really painstakingly slow and boring , though that may just be me being slow

last gazelle
#

I've been able to do it in like 15 minutes

#

But I am quite experienced

#

If you're learning the controls and everything could easily take like 2 hours

#

The tutorial doesn't really show the greatest aspects of the game either

#

The tutorial is hard focused on resource gathering and it doesn't give you any insight into the great exploration of the game

marble tendon
#

It really lacks any fun at all

#

At most taking off for the first time was fun

#

I feel like a more lax tutorial with an optional combat against sentinels section could be really entertaining

#

my friend told me to skip playing normally and do my first save on an expedition, and I got a tutorial from him. That seems like one of the better options

The world feels really empty and story doesn't feel like it exists! All the time exploring & discovering feels boring & most planets are similar. This game has potential but if this goes on then yea I don't think it will last longer even if devs keep updating it! This game feels like it's still in the early access

#

So hyped for this game for a very long time but I am disappointed tbh!

#

Almost no NPCs on space stations, no fly bys in atmosphere, no planetary archives, Space Anomaly was 1 tiny room with Polo and Nada and that's it

And now, a whole new race emerging all across the universe, with it's lore - it's great to see what HG has been cooking up

Hear me out. A quest line that introduces some type of ancient magic from an extinct ancient alien race.

#

But all the reviews are saying there is no combat only and neither did I found any! Except in one occasion I got attacked by other space ship which was so hard to control and hit my opponent! I couldn't even understand also why am I getting attacked and how to counter that!

#

I'm just confused about this game tbh my friends are also saying this game is only about exploring & discovering but I really love the unique design of this game but it feels empty! Is there something important that I'm missing in this game?

#

NMS isn't like other games, like terraria, Starbound and starfield.
These games has a story but more importantly combat and thinks to do with weapons & etc. What's the purpose of those laser weapons if u are only using it for mining and collection other things? Better give few mining tools with different skins

soft scarab
#

the combat is a bit lackin and does take a bit to figure out. all you have to do is lock on to your target ("s" on pc) and shoot when they come into view

# mortal beacon Thx for clarifying bro

Also, if you play for a while in one session then warp between systems there's a chance for a big freighter "boss fight" where you destroy a pirate freighter.

can we get more detail for the capital freighters? i feel like they're lacking in terms of that

Honestly the way the game is made really impedes on a lot of it's exploration. It's mostly the HUD that's the issue I guess.

#

It's not bad by any means.. but it does kinda undermine exploration. It's suited for a different playstyle than just pure exploration oddly enough.

turbid wagon
#

also, atleast in my survival run, PVE hasnt been lacking in the slightest, ive gotten to the point where its a necessity to upgrade my weapons to survive pirate subspace scans if i do have valuables on me

pastel minnow
# turbid wagon go for a HUD-less run ;)

The issue with that is you lose.. literally all other information about your health, what you collect, etc..
I'd much rather just have an option to disable icons only. That would solve so much issues around exploration.

turbid wagon
#

yeah that would be a good compromise

#

hud-less play is a recipe for 3 hour long walks around a location if you lost your way for even a second aswell lol

pastel minnow
#

As it is now, there's no need to watch out for sentinels nearby or wonder if there's a hostile creature or not.. the icons spoil everything for you and there's no mystery that way.

#

Imagine how cool it would be if we could toggle which types of icons we want to see... I just thought of that lol, I'd LOVE that feature.

turbid wagon
#

i havn't checked but, might there be a mod for this?

pastel minnow
#

Also kinda related.. but I wish we wouldn't be told where essential resources were until after we've scanned them for the first time on a planet, and essential resources should also have waaaaay more visual variation so it's not always clear what they look like, encouraging you to actually scan around and making each planet have more unique character.

#

I swear one of the biggest reasons why planets all feel the same is because they all have the exact same essential resources and you can always scan the area to show the icons for where they are.
No real thought put into that aspect of the game..

turbid wagon
#

i think its just a matter of priority

#

like sure it'd be great if this game had the mining depth of deeprock galactic or some shit but well

#

its a different game with a different focus

pastel minnow
#

Maybe eventually they'll rework it. I mean, it is one of the main criticisms NMS gets, and I myself just kinda tolerate it, but I'd love to.. love it lol.
That's actually one of my biggest wishes for an update.

coarse ingot
#

like it reads like one

pastel minnow
#

This is usually where we say "This game just isn't for you" hue

#

I do think it's fascinating how NMS is the only game ever that gets this kind of criticism.. like you never hear people say "Minecraft needs to get rid of the blocky aesthetic and get rid of mining and we shouldn't be able to break trees with our bare hands and trees should fall, not float!"

...People understand that's what the game is, as well as every other game. But not NMS. And I dunno why.

pale zealot
#

Yeah I think the problem is people get it in their heads that no man’s sky is supposed to have infinite assets, I think the gameplay is strong, but there is something to be said about lack of planetary variation.

To me the wonders tab seems like a setup for true procedural flora and minerals as the only thing the get is recolors. Fauna is plenty varied in looks, but not behavior. Planetary terrain is alright, but I think they should bring back crazy terrain for rare planets, or in certain regions on normal planets (that weird snake looking terrain, mineral towers, wild caves ravines and ditches)

I think people get upset at no man’s sky in particular because it does have the framework to be an infinite exploration game, but the devs don’t have the time to inject hundreds of assets to be randomly assembled. But here’s hoping

toxic slate
#

I don't think it's really a time issue, it's just never been a priority. But they probably also know whatever they add will soon be seen as repetitive, no matter how much they add. And this comes down to the way they built their procedural assembly system for flora and fauna assets. Instead of creatures and plants built purely from algorithms, it's more like a Mr. Potato Head system where different bits get bolted onto premade models

ruby aspen
#

i know it sounds bad, but... ||AI-powered (or at least partially) procedural generation? its amazing what AI can do nowadays. of course the AI will be trained on either HG assets or public domain pictures etc.||

#

it also allows for WAY more variation with less work for the team

soft dirge
#

yeah, but id also be careful because i feel like a lot of people will rise up with their "pitchforks" on the slightest presence of AI

Hello guys. Just wanna ask out of curiosity, if there is date for new updates to come. If it's like coordinated, or it's always about guessing.. if there is any info on new updates, or we will know only when they release it. so far enjoying NMS and pretty much addicted, so if there will be a new update as expected, I'll be very happy to see what's new

I wish more planets were devoid of life.

It was cool and disconcerting

As pretty much every other planet & system is full of life

Every planet should have essential resources, but I wish they all looked super different per planet and you'd have to analyze and find them first before you can scan around for them.

hoping devs expand on cross-star-system activity like frigates carrying colonists from another system escaping a biological horror infestation from their home system, giving players quests/expeditions to contest the invasion.

pastel minnow
#

I wanna see current content refined instead of just new content.
Like better animations for npcs and multitools, more variation for planetary points of interests (many of them have just one model), better lighting overall, ability to swap ships in space stations, scrap multitools in space station, pirate freighter battles have more than just one position for attacking etc.

vast wave
#

Problem is, you don't sell a product just by refining it

#

You gotta add actual new stuff to make players interested

#

This is what HG was doing for updates, updating existing parts alongside adding new ones

#

Also, you can't really overhaul too much stuff at once, because that would get players confused

#

Do ya'll think freighters will be upgradeable in class eventually?

#

Since we already have multitools & ships

I’d like to see more social interaction in Nms in general, my favourite moment I remember is wondering around at the Anomaly for the first time and seeing players around. Would be nice to have a player bounty system to chase down players or a cargo delivery service you can ask for a player to deliver X or Y things that connect players more is what the game is lacking in my opinion

Why don't they add a way to go around inside your ship, and decorate it and other things

#

It would be really awesome if warping with your freighter could trigger a dreadnought to attack you - have wanted fleet battles for a long time and this seems like the perfect opportunity! I guess the problem is that destroying the player's freighter would be a terrible consequence. Maybe it can just warp away once it gets below a certain point and then you could have a quest to find and fix it...idk just speculation

placid mango
#

One thing I think would be interesting is player built jumpgates. Being able to connect adjacent neighbor systems to each other to facilitate easier travel. These gates would require resources to build and resources to maintain. It would also give the connected systems trade buffs and unique npc encounters.

I find it very funny that if the sentinels see you killing monstrosities, they aggro

Would be a nice way to add more combat variety, could give a quest to kill "Advanced Monstrosities"

#

Expedition system rework. More expeditions per day, easier inspection of fleet, rework for frigate leveling, maybe change the way you look for new frigates ( its annoying to fly to each one ) automated fuel crafting. More base building items ( i would be happy with just bigger windows in freigher bases, i hate those tiny windows), fix lighting.

#

Also let us place npc:s in bases and freighters, they are so empty now

tropic fractal
#

Ill add some things to your post.
-Modular ship building, you have to salvage ships for parts e.g you find ship with nice wingtips so you salvage it and then you can add them to your own ship.
-Space station thing, make it possible to claim your own home system and upgrade whole system by doing trades, defending from pirates or something else, maybe some kind of space station upgrade system.

#

would be more realistic if our starship didn't just drag with us like minecraft dog

#

I remember my old idea i liked, with an advanced teleporter, of bigger size (like in anomaly) and with more advanced building recipe.
It would firstly let you fly your ship into it to teleport together with it, and secondly be advanced/powerful enough to connect you to the teleporters in all galaxies (meaning regular base abd space station teleporter shouldn't be able to access destinations beyond current galaxy)

#

as for calling your ship, you would have to build a communication station (like the exocraft summoning station) to call it if it's currently beyond current system, and it would spend warp fuel too

I know adding features is all the rage but I wish terraforming was more varied and interesting 🥹 We're living in alpha minecraft terraformed planets when we could have the cave update,,,, (speaking of caves... their gen just needs to be updated period, finding rare cave animals is a pain because so many caves are smaller than the spawn area size needed)

And by terraforming, i meant the terraforming of planets as we explore, not our terraforming tool happygek

#

last gazelle
#

I think it would be a cool end game addition to add sentinel-controlled systems, where they introduce almost a new "race" of sentinel pilots, scientists, etc. They would actually be able to deal a lot of damage and have much more health and all ships and drones in the system too, making those 100k+ mts actually useful. These guys could probably be the source of some new cosmetics related to sentinels (red/orange plated gear, with helmets resembling sentinels) The main reason to fight these guys is to gain access to their base of operations in the system, a sentinel space station. Doing so would require you to "free" the system of sentinels, taking down all control pillars which would be incredibly heavily guarded. Once you free the control of the system, you gain access to the space station(maybe along the storyline it gets pretty beat up in battle so it's damaged and you have to repair it) which will then let you unlock customizations, rooms to build, customers to please, and trade opportunities across the whole system. You would essentially be able to establish a settlement across many planets while your citizens go to the space station to get supplies, socialize, etc.

#

More on the actual sentinel system before it's freed-
The sentinel's technology here is highly prioritized, offering supercharged upgrades, allowing the mod to have the same stats as a supercharged ones. These could either be versions of the existing sentinel tech with some extra stats as well or S class mods. They would be quite rare and very difficult to extract, requiring termination of the sentinel at the area it's found and maybe a mini-game that simulates the precise extraction of this tech.

#

Many new sentinels and sentinel operations would be found here, as this is where they get all of their resources to operate. This could include sentinel mining drones, actual mines, maybe even farms. What would be cool is a very large version of the sentinel mech, that can crush you with it's feet and is meant to be avoided rather than fought. Maybe there's a side quest that allows you to pilot one of these massive boys and look over your world from 100 units up.

#

Some of these operations could be repaired and taken over, offering better yields than a normal extractor or farm but also requiring labor from the civilians of the system to operate in the absence of sentinels.

#

(once the system is freed that is)

#

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but perhaps the sentinel stations have extremely complex starship assemblers, allowing the user (with an incredible amount of resources, probably imported from the operations in the system) to assemble their own sentinel ship

#

(Classes would be determined by equally rare and exclusive parts)

#

To unlock more options for your ship, more tame (yet still dangerous) dissonant versions of these systems would contain blueprints for all sorts of options, on top of possibly offering corrupted sentinel tools and ships which could have random faulty bonuses, allowing lucky explorers to gain still incredibly high damage multitools.

#

Finally, to even access these systems, leylaps could be much more useful, and guide us in creating a system in our exosuits to be recognized as a sentinel, requiring complex and rare salvage to be expertly combined.

#

(the autophage could also be involved in this)

i have an entire update known as No Man’s Sky: SELF

#

it’s the final chapter of the interceptor storyline, focused mainly around what else went on on korvax prime, the living ships and their ties to infected planets

#

it’d feature fun things such as:

• new playable race based on living ships and infected planets: beings created by the korvax in tandem with their starship cousins as a sort of vessel to transplant korvax entities into in order to commune more naturally with living ships. however, they have gained independence from their long dead creators, traveling the universe and attempting to rid their carefully maintained worlds of parasites.

• final chapter of the interceptor storyline: mainly focused on the korvax’s biological experiments and their relationship with the abyss, the modern korvax, and the autophage.

• increased living ship procgen variation

• access to previously unavailable autophage parts

• access to the full 60 color palette for exosuit customization

• decals on starships and multitools

• the ability to create bodies of water and patches of grass with the terrain manipulator

I'd love to see more interaction with my ship. When you land a hauler, you step out of the cargo bay. When you get in your ship you see your character climb in. (Can turn it off with a setting toggle for the impatient). Be able to fly with other people in your ship. I'd also like to be able to take over a system. Like I found a system that has most of the more basic things needed. All my quests have ended up in that system or the one nearby. My main base, my settlement, all right there. It'd be cool if we could invest in a system for monetary gain, and improve the safety of the system, provide patrols of our ships. My system has a lot of pirate action going, and sentinels. I hunt them down relentelessly, it's my system!

i have a request for a future update, a suggestion i'm sure has been made multiple times, but i feel the need to state here as my one and only idea that i think would be minimal amount of programming labor for a maximum quality of life boost. hear me out

#

inventory organization options

#

example: every time i want to make glass and separate my one stack of frost crystals into more for multiple refineries, i have to find them in my inventory, far past dozens of items i keep on me at all times, and in an inventory selector only showing 8 items at a time. it is tedious and time consuming, but could easily be remedied by an item tab such as "consumables" for moments like these. there are such tabs in the inventory at other times, and they are sorely missed when they are absent

#

disclaimer: i adore the inventory system, i just find this particular corner of it to be very unnecessarily complicated

#

part of the issue is that after i find the stack the first time, i have to "pick it up" in order to split the stack, and once i place it back, it's often into a different inventory slot, so i have to find it again. im likely not the only person who gets frustrated by this, but might be one of the few willing to say something about it. sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to give a bit of honest feedback that could help iron out a kink, however small

What I would like to see:

  • 'Galaxy' on the Discoveries tab, next to systems.
  • Ability to remove the Mining Beam from Multitools.
  • Reordering destinations on the Teleportation Terminal and companions.
  • Unsure if it's something on my end or PC only, but placing stuff on the ground on moons is tilted.
  • That underwater sun glare, it burns my retina each time I try to build underwater.
  • Allow to quick bind food. Maybe better prices and effects?
  • Restoring terrain on settlements you manage. Sometimes building or combat can lead to create holes on the ground.
  • Option to disable trading.
  • And maybe disable PvP by default? Many unsuspecting newbies get killed at times.

# rugged moon This, I would love to see more procedural dungeons on planets, derelict freighte...

Yeah I like the derelicts, but I don't like that they don't actually exist in the system until you use an item. That's why I think planetary dungeons could be cool. HG could tie in NPC encounters, or maybe finding a treasure map, that lead you to a dungeon at a certain coordinates and you walk up and there it is. Maybe once you go inside it spawns you into a separate dungeon instance to save on memory I dunno, but actually having the dungeon entrance always there on the planet just feels more satisfying and grounded (no pun intended) to me than the way derelict freighters get spawned

inventory system needs optimization in terms of organization: specifically, item type tabs for crafting stations and merchants. this is a desperately needed quality of life update, if we can use these tabs in our inventory, there is no reason why we should cycle through over 100 items, 6 or 8 to a page, in a completely scrambled list of items in no order relevant to personal inventory organization

#

put simply, too much game time is wasted on tedium of using the scroll wheel to parse through seemingly endless randomized pages of an inventory we have already organized

There should be abandoned ships in space that your freighter could pull into a certain area if you have the required upgrade and the ships could either need to be repaired or just a refuel

#

I think you should be able to take over an abandoned space station and you build all the shops in and you set what the npcs can buy in the space terminal and the resources you sell can come from your settlement but to get the resources from your settlement you need to hire a Npc that takes the resources every 24 hours and bring them up to the space station

Upgrading Freighters: Small numbers of systems could be “Shipyard” systems, with a large freighter dock either attached to the station or floating in the system somewhere. You can use that dock to upgrade the class of your freighter (and maybe purchase freighter upgrade modules too). Upgrading your freighter will take: 2 days for C>B, 4 days for B>A, and 7 days for A>S. During that time, you are unable to use or access your freighter, unless it is to cancel the upgrade. Once the upgrade is completed, you must return to the system and pick up your freighter. The upgrades will also cost nanites.

Also add broken trees trees. plants and trees growing submerged shallow water swamps.

So I've seen some sheets floating around that have all the available starship 'parts' labeled. How about the ability to craft any one such part (that would already be available to that type) to alter the visual aspects of the exterior starships? Similar to the cockpit bobbleheads, you could only have one. That fighter you found in the perfect color scheme, which has all the right parts that you're looking for, except it has Starjumper wings instead of Vector. Instead of having to incessantly search for it (or ask for help from the super, awesome Reddit community. Thanks guys for all that hard work!) You could craft onto your ship. Your choice overrides and replaces a location part or (in the case of some antenna or other similar) would just add onto.

Shoot Sentinels is cool but idk the ground combat could be more dinamic

copper dawn
# tired sinew Really want more ground enemies, make flora predators more dangerous, more abyss...

Generally the procedurally generated animal predators are repetitive - all they do is charge into you. They could have more abilities and behaviors - like trying to sneak up on player to do huge damage if player doesn't detect one, be able to spit acid or if the predators are spiders, there could be webs around which would slow player if he would step into one, etc...

Also not ground enemies, but flying animals even don't do any interaction with anything.

#

And flora predators... That reminds me that there should be procedurally generated flora with different behavior, as now all it does is nothing aside of us mining it for resources. And the dangerous one is being same in all the planets.

#

Also aside of predators there could be animals somehow influencing the player's exosuit and maybe spaceship (though the spaceship part would be maybe unfair) - maybe some parasites who would somehow suck energy out of the spacesuit and thus decrease its life support and hazard protection status bars. Or maybe creatures doing opposite - interacting with exosuit just for curiosity, but as they would transfer energy to it, they would either recharge systems or damage player. And if they would overcharge systems, they would damage player if he wouldn't be careful.

#

Etc.

Hello games has turned the game around, ok. But they keep adding stuff nobody asked for? Atlas multitools are great, but why add another tier of weapons if there is no enemies??

tired sinew
#

I know everyone feels the same because if hello games announced they were not going to make any more updates, we would all feel as if the game is still incomplete (maybe it's just me though) Although the game has come far, I still wouldn't recommend it to a friend unless you don't mind RP-ing in your head. As an actual crafting/survival game, NMS is lightyears behind games like minecraft & terraria

#

Even expeditions are dumb. Why wouldn't you make them start from specific portals across the universe. They could then be labeled as "portals to the mind of a previous traveller" or whatever. It would give everyone a reason to be excited again and rush to the portal (you could purchase a specific expedition map from the anomaly). You would have to get to a point of easy star hopping before you could even attempt them & it would add to the end game. I feel as if the devs are more artists than game developers. Their game philosophy is always so backwards but the game itself is beautiful

tired sinew
copper dawn
# tired sinew I'm not a game designer, but how hard could it be to add 10 more types of danger...

The biggest problem for me with flora also is that is is just hand-made assets with no variation (with the size being an exception). We can see it especially in case of the dangerous flora - where it's same 3-4 plants at all the planets. Also their behavior is same too - for example both tentacle and maw-like plant are just doing same thing (damaging player). I could for example imagine that the maw-like plant, if it would successfully bite player, could make him immobile, until either some time passes away, player shoots the plant or mashes some key to get free. There generally could be tons of more behavior for things - one would just need to use his own imagination.

#

To me it looks that they are now mostly focusing on the space though. Which isn't bad idea, because if you remember the original space before it was started getting expanded by things like Living ship (which added random encounters in space), there was almost nothing to do.

#

But still, more variety to also on-foot gameplay would be nice.

copper dawn
# tired sinew I know everyone feels the same because if hello games announced they were not go...

I like NMS for what it does, as it's decent game with tons of content. But it has tons of potential to expand and things which are too bare. The biggest shame for me is the Frontiers update with the settlements. They are basically procedurally generated towns. And there could be many interaction - talking with NPCs about rumours, having a drink at bar, etc. But all what we have is the overseer minigame. Which eventually gets stale. And it's only about waiting until something happens, like some sort of 💩 idle 📱 game.

copper dawn
# tired sinew Even expeditions are dumb. Why wouldn't you make them start from specific portal...

At one thing I like the idea of having some different start with different goals and also using it for fast kick-up of the character and other stuff. But yep, it's also dumb that the content is only time limited. For me the worst thing though is that the rewards are available (without mods) only for people who played them - even for the old expeditions, which don't even get Redux re-run. I think that the one who wouldn't play them should eventually be able to buy the rewards just for units.

#

But yep, I also think that the expeditions would be cool like addition of more game starts - there could be the default stranded one. And then the expedition ones for the players wanting to have different game start (and all starts would eventually lead to the anomaly and main story for the people wanting to play through the Artemis path again, but they would have different start to make things different. And to skip the long starting tutorial.).

As someone who came into NMS late this year I would absolutely love to see a new traveler aboard the anomaly who would sell Expedition 'maps' allowing you to visit and revisit these story arcs, earn the past expedition rewards, and visit those locations. They could be set up on very specific locations throughout Euclid, require portal access to visit/start, and could cost 10-15k quicksilver or some other new resource. I'm personally disappointed that the expeditions don't repeat on a scheduled basis for the enjoyment of newer players (and a revisit by long time players). And because I only play in Permadeath, could you make that an available option (not requirement) for future expeditions? Thanks so much for your consideration!

Plus, you missed the point where NMS can be played offline. What is your plan to incorporate AI elements into the game? By making it an online-only title so it can talk to some AI model servers each time a planet is generated?

I hope they'll fix nutrient processors and cooking at some point. Feels like an afterthought, full of issues... Here's just a few of my thoughts on it.

  • The ingredient storage is way too small thanks to stacks being half the normal size. If that wasn't bad enough...
  • ... you can't take ingredients directly from the ingredient storage or the freighter, just ship and suit. Why?
  • Feeding Cronus for nanites takes hours of mindless button mashing. Why'd anyone do that over the better, quicker, and more comfortable options?
  • Getting animal produce like milk or eggs is just not fun. It's very slow, and babysitting the machines is silly. Why not have it work like extractors?
  • Give us some way to get animals that don't despawn for farming produce. Maybe a "livestock room" on the freighter, or a field building in settlements.

Id like to see the repair action get some love. Currently its just clicking on A, B, C and done, which is the most boring shit I can think of. With repairs not happening this often (unless you constantly fight, then its your own fault anyway lol), it would be no mistake to make it a bit more interesting. Create some sort of minigame that requires a bit of logical thinking, because it really is an immersion breaker when I go to fix up a ship that is broken and on fire, and just click the mouse 30 times and its done.

vast wave
#

I mean... In a game where you handle Antimatter and other powerful particles with bare hands...

#

I wouldn't call simple repair an outlier to immersion

#

Minigames sound nice, but Im afraid community will react with an uproar again, because they have to spend 10 seconds for something that used to take 1 second

turbid fossil
#

Im challenging "simple repair". We dont know anything about how challenging repairs really are. And "bare hands"? No idea how it is stored by itself, but at least the warp cell description gives a good explanation. As for uproar... How often do you actually do a number of repairs? I would be fine if this feature was simplified when starting a new game for learning purposes. Still, the average loud player is probably too impatient, Ill give you that. But I can dream :/ You cant tell me clicking on a box is interesting in the slightest.

#

Same with space combat. I can lose barely anything shield and somehow I lose a couple of modules.

turbid fossil
#

You cant blame the game for being hard when you choose a hard mode

maiden talon
#

How is it in normal, then? Because even in survival this became a non-issue the moment I got the matter teleporter on my freighter

#

Now repairing is a just a matter of spawning my freighter in the system and clicking 3 times

turbid fossil
#

Assuming you ask about breaking modules, I cant even recall the last time I broke something.

maiden talon
#

When I think about repairs, breaking modules is the first thing that comes to my mind, not fixing a grounded ship for example

turbid fossil
#

Its all the same really, you just click boxes, whether suit, ship, or MT

maiden talon
#

If I had to play a minigame every space battle to fix my ship that'd be real annoying real quick

turbid fossil
#

Youre probably imagining the minigame to be more than it is, Im not talking a fullblown round of tetris. But something

#

Also, I proposed it to be a toggle.

maiden talon
#

If I had to play a minigame I'd rather see it being used for cooking. Cooking is just refining

#

It could be so much more

turbid fossil
#

There definitely are many things that could be improved. But cooking at least has an animation xd

maiden talon
#

Yeah I guess. You have three things moving up and down in a pot.

turbid fossil
#

More than for repairs.

maiden talon
#

Cooking feels... Worthless.

turbid fossil
#

It pretty much is

  1. There are much better ways to make credits
  2. There are much better ways to make nanites

#

Oh and 5) Raw ingredients takes an incredible amount of space

#

I tried making an animal farm with animal feeder and livestock units. it doesn't work if aren't hugging them

#

Animals despawn, so you can't just feed animals that are away and bring them back to the machine

#

Minecraft has nametags to keep animals from despawning, give me something like that so I can make an actual farm lol. I can produce tens of thousands of flowers/metals/gases in an entirely different galaxy, but milk is too much? 😐

turbid fossil

#

We knew how to keep cows and chicken in 10,000 BC why can't we do it in a world where you find faster than light fuel under a rock

#

What I want to say is. Cooking is way too inconvenient for how little it gives you.

#

I got nothing to add stitchshrug its true

Which is a shame because I usually love cooking in video games.

#

NMS has many rough edges

#

I would have also loved to see twoseater ships or exocrafts

maiden talon
#

It's been eight years and we still cannot paint our ships

#

Oh sure we can paint the freighter. But our ships? No can do mate.

#

We can tame animals, but they're slower what we already can do and they can't be used to farm produce.

#

Squadrons help the enemies more than they help us, by blocking out shots.

#

Multiplayer? It's great and all at first glance, PvP is enabled by default and I've never done any mission that was difficult enough to require someone else. The anomaly is full of people dumping their stacks of duped activated indium or stasis devices into my inventory.

#

New multitools and ship types overshadow the old ones. Does anyone here even use a common freighter/explorer/shuttle for anything but their looks?

#

Same with pistols and rifles MTs.

turbid fossil
#

All of it, to HG

vast wave
#

I would like to see a "refresh" of MT parts

#

To have the standard pistols / rifles more in line with newer stuff

HG updated ships a couple of times, so maybe they could do the same with other key gameplay object

Except for coloring, yeah you can

It just promotes the use of save editors.

Or hunting for that perfect ship

maiden talon
#

One in a billion? No thank you. There's so many paramaters you can't find the perfect ship before the heat death of the universe 😐

#

People end up using the same ships that are being shared in coordinates discords and reddits

#

Not everyone but they sure show up often in the anomaly

hot flame
#

Personally I like making my own finds, but I think it has more to do with this being a procedural generation showcase

#

Once we can build and make ships/tools or whatever, that dims a lot

#

A good compromise would be allowing some painting, and external parts that we could add

maiden talon
#

any form of ship customization would be great.

#

Right now, let's see... We have colored thrusters. And that's it.

#

Even pets are more customizable than ships

with the whole ship customization thing i just think we should be able to add some unique parts and colors to our ships

NMS Archaeology Overhaul Concept
by CaptainxGambit
─
-Introduction-

Archaeology in its current state is interesting, but feels like a bare-bones (pun intended) concept that could be expanded on. Implementing the following ideas would make archaeology a much more interesting and lucrative venture. 

-New Ancient Ruins Models-

More model variation for explorable ruins would obviously make things more interesting. Locked doors requiring material charge or specific keys would also add to the intricacy of searching for artifacts. Behind these locked doors would be bonus loot.  Having new cave and underwater ruins that can't be discovered with planetary maps, only monoliths or random exploration. These ruins would have better odds of having an incredibly valuable artifact. 

-Remove Visor Scan Indicators-

Getting rid of the indicators revealing the location of the underground keys and chest would require you to physically excavate the area to locate the keys. This would cause players to reveal more of the ruins' structure instead of just digging tiny holes to the keys, making it feel more like true excavation. Making artifacts more valuable and adding random loot containers would make it worth the additional time spent digging. 

-Planetary Archive Changes-

Planetary Archives become a player community hub for artifact collection. Instead of the artifact swap system currently in place, you would put the artifact into the device and it would be scanned and recorded and then can be taken back out to be sold like normal. A new option will be available at the computer terminal in the archive structure that allows you to view all artifacts uploaded into that specific archive as well as which "scientist" contributed the discovery. This would allow groups of friends to work together to gather a large collection of rare artifacts and anyone who visits the archive could view what was there, sort of like a museum. It would also be neat if you could store other “artifact” type items like salvaged scrap, ancient bones, and deep space oddities. 

-Nanite Rewards-

Introduce a new NPC artifact collector that is located at any “Planetary Archive” point of interest that sell ruins maps and keys to unlock doors in ancient ruins to access bonus rewards. They would also buy artifacts for nanites, which can be done after uploading the data to the archive. 

-Conclusion-

An archaeology overhaul would be a fun and interesting content update and would be relatively simple to implement into the game.

New ship type

Scavenger

Notable features
Large cargo hold, less technology slots compared to combat ships.
Large grapple arm capable of holding onto other ships.

turbid fossil
#

I can smell the griefing potential from 200 miles away...also what purpose would that have? Ships arent dynamic objects when landed afaik

manic yarrow
#

While for salvage, can be utilized for piracy. Should have so few slots for technology that severely limits it's combat abilities.

#

Also it shouldn't be able to grab a landed ship.

#

The grapple arm takes damage when holding onto a ship.

#

When it does break from being used in that manner, the ship it has a hold of gets released.

turbid fossil
#

So you want to grab ships midflight pan_thonk good luck doing that manually

#

I see several issues with that alone, but suggest it if you think stitchshrug

I feel like we're reaching the end of NMS

At least in terms of big content updates

Which is okay if so, imo, it's been an amazing ride

we will get an update in the next two weeks.
source: i made it up.

#

also, i am correct. it will happen.

vast wave
tardy linden
#

I would like to see some additions to some of the machines in NMS.

It would be amazing for people to be able to automate many things in NMS. It would be great to have for ex. belts or pipes to transport resources to ex. a refiner. The large refiner would be a perfect fit because it currently does not get enough use and the shape makes it perfect to wire up some input/output.

Also the addition of just a couple of machines could really change how we play and farm things:
Auto crater, would take a recipe and make it automatically, provided it has been giving the resources.
Biofuel reactor input slot, would be great to for example be able to input things to the reactor automatically, also matching it with a oxygen farm -> refiner -> reactor would be cool way to make power.
Input slot for storage, if thats not possible, base bound storage kinda like chests from Minecraft would be great too

Base bound storage would be great tho, because you could hold items locally at your base without wasting the normal synced storage.
A nuclear reactor would be a great addition too, because the only real ways to get power at a base are solar panels or the electro magnetic generator, that is (region) based -> you need to be lucky to get it.
A nuclear reactor could be powered with a recipe of some uranium, glass and ferit or something else.
But with that a nuclear reactor should work for a couple of days like in rl.

I've sent this to the suggestion website, any thoughts on this?

turbid fossil
#

NMS is by no means a grindy game, so I think automation will lead to people playing the actual game less. Dont think I need to explain why thats bad. Also, with how buggy pretty much any form of automated machinery is right now (refineries, looking at you), a lot of the time it may just not work

#

I would much rather see a big chunk of bugfixes, stability changes and maybe, maybe eventually making story fit for multiplayer

#

i know this probably wont ever happen but... cities

#

dude other types of vehicles, like starships do

#

like you know starships have different types

What's truly needed is an exploration update. More fauna and flora and new biomes. Maybe even multiple biomes on some planets. There are billions of planets but they mostly have the same stuff. There needs to be more variation

I get the feeling the devs are overhauling everything in the game for a more modern touch that'll stick for a lot longer. I think they're going to go over Ships and Stations with this update and that in the future we'll maybe get more things to do on the ground. Maybe a revamp of activities on the ground like fabricators, outposts and all that stuff planetside. Maybe

#

I think thats something they might touch down on

proud tusk
#

The game needs an overhaul; there isn't much that keeps players in the game despite how beautiful and seamless the universe is. The big thing the game needs is planets with more than just the generic biome and more RPG elements. Say what you will about Starfield but an RPG space game is what folks have wanted for a long time. Imagine if the concepts of these two games married into one!

noble bear
#

No man's sky will continue to be updated while starfield will not, hg will learn from starfield about what does or doesn't work and implement more refined solutions into nms, then as we get more updates to nms at some point people will say they wish starfield was more like nms, then people will start modding things from nms into starfield

#

Skip to 1:10 and you can see new ships and a new space station interior

Maybe for an update in 2024 you can separate the blaster from the multi tool and have better on-foot combat

Wish list

  • Melee combat
  • Gas giants
  • Better NPC dialog
  • Expanded freighter building
  • More difficult high-level combat, both ground and ship
  • Underwater ruins
  • Larger NPC settlements
  • Random space derelicts
  • Megafauna
  • Frigate customization
  • Exocraft combat that doesn't suck
vast wave
#

Personally I see no point in gas planets. Yeah they look cool but what else should they do? Just exist there to farm gases like we can on any other planets or in space already?

#

More difficult combat - only if you manage to balance it out on all platforms and all input devices. You playing on PC being able to do flicks and 1080 no scopes doesn't mean others can

#

Larger NPC settlements - lol nope. Game struggles displaying regular settlements and planetary archives now. And just making something bigger will not solve the basic problem of settlements being a chore that is not worth it

#

Random space derelicts are already a thing

I just want a cave scanner.

I find it difficult to find caves, especially on planets with a lot of water. When you're searching for cave fauna, and you can't find caves, and 75% don't have any fauna (or anything else in it), it's kind of cruddy to waste time doing it. But, that'd help temper some of the disappointment.

copper dawn

So far the best way to find caves is to go to any point of interest (which you can find by signal booster) - usually near a poi is a cave generated.

We need a graphical overhaul, seriously.

With nextgen consoles meant for gaming, why not make the infinite cosmos look infinitely better!

I personally know many people who don't like the graphical choice of no man's sky.

While I get the game is meant to be a 1990's looking space game, it can do that and look amazing doing it!

right now space is green, blue, yellow, but rarely black, its lacking contrast and lacking the dark depth of space. While yes, more realistic.

It adds a sense of realism with the 90's feel, like how camcorders don't record a stereo-typical 90's look, it records reality with an olden style to it.

The game would look so much better if a small-medium sized graphical overhaul was made for next gen systems, especially VR systems!

would it be cool to add stuff from real space to this game like gas giants that can be colonized but needs lots of hazard protection to survive it

have you ever seen cloud city from star wars

#

you would come across cities in the sky on gas giants

#

if you were high enough from the core you wouldnt really have a problem with the pressure or high wind speed getting closer however would be a challenge in itself

since cloud cities in no mans sky is new they would be unique and carry unique items specifically designed to survive the pressure of the gas giant

well if u can think of another way to make a settlement on a gas giant be my guest cuz cloud city from star wars is the best i can think of (edit: a city on a gas giant also would make sense since the inside of a gas giant is filled with materials but cant be reached because of the immense pressure and raging winds of the storms)

yessss

hollow shale

of course since it would be too easy to kill it, it would basically be immune to blaster fire, basically imagine the alien exenomorph from the alien game

Do we have Neutron stars in NMS? Brown dwarfs? Supernovae? Stars even, that are more than a flat picture?

if it was a planet u would be able to land on a solid surface yes?

Maybe even force ships to land and fight the pilot/crew by damaging them enough

There likely never will be, best we have is installing bobbleheads which then show up on the dashboard

I’ve been playing the game in third person mode, only just discovered 1st person mode 😬 how do u get the bobble heads and how do u install them in the ship?

You get the blueprint from the quicksilver companion iirc

How would you nice people like the idea of enemy freighter boarding operations? Fighting through an enemy frighter in FPS like mode like the sentinel fights and LOOT?

I would rather see more depth for neglected mechanics like base building, repairing, any form of ship customisation or cooking.

It would be cool if there was some kind of bounty hunting system, where if a player gets to be an enemy of a race, then other players could go to the anomoly or something and get a mission to hunt them down. Obviously you would have to opt in to do it, but still, I think it would be pretty cool

I don't know if this is a hot take but wouldn't ship customization completely ruin the hunt for the perfect ship? For me one of the most fun parts of NMS is to check the ships in each system I'm in to see if there's a gem among them in a perfect color. Wouldn't make much sense to do that anymore if you can customize ships.

Topic was moved many times. Customizations can be done right if you have to work for it ,require many steps involving rng and it would be expensive. And end result would not guarrante best stats.

I find it silly how HG added pirate and ąutophage factions but without there being a purpose to them.
Hopefully they actually overhaul it so it impacts gameplay.

I actually think that new ship will be a unique ship constructed at the space anomaly. Something like how the ship's appearance is determined by choices you do, like the staffs and living frigate.

#

Though it'd be really cool if it was just a new type added all across the universe. I just can't imagine what use a new type would have.

Interceptor should have "intercept" tech scanner. It would scan system for illegal goods. And it would mark a npc target for you, and npc will give his stuff willingly or you have to shoot him to get it back.

Per default or blueprint? Can any ship install it?

Do people really think the update is called "Evolution" btw?
HG didn't call it that, it's only IGN's title.. probably referring to NMS' evolution over the years lol

oblique smelt
#

Yes . Pepole got clickbaited by IGN

turbid fossil

I find it pretty natural to assume "evolution" just refers to NMS evolution over time, not the name of an update facepalm

Clickbait title and misleading thumbnail simliar to usual nms update thumbnail will do the trick

pastel minnow

Tho I wonder what the actual name will be.. And just what the update will have!
Like it'll have the space stations but what new content will it have? Will we be able to F I N A L L Y use the station override thingy?
Will we be able to buy anomaly detectors instead of leaving it to rng?
Will they fix the terrible looking water? hue

wise saddle
#

I wish they make a system so that multiple player freighters can be in one system and somehow we can have our freighters go into a battle mode or something so that they fight each other. It would also give combat frigates some more content instead of apearing in pirate battles sometimes and doing expeditions.

Wish we could find more abbandoned stuff like full cities or villages atleast

fossil barn
#

or it will end up like minecraft, where people get tired of the flat and boring structures such as desert and jungle temples that used to feel so fcking cool

#

the structures in this game are good, don't get me wrong, but after a while i imagine that they would be small and uninteresting to most of the community. a structure update would be good insurance to stop that from happening - just make the structures bigger, cooler, with more stuff in them, more things to do, maybe even increase structure spawn rates (debatable)

(by the way im mostly referring to structures on planets like abandoned buildings and whatnot)

#

CITIES would be really cool though

#

imagine being the mayor of a city... wow.

# woeful mist im hoping the LNF gives them some good ideas to push into NMS

It should do, I don't know if any of you follow the Star Citizen project, but now that the single player game Squadron 42 is feature complete, they are moving all the polished, tidy features into Star Citizen. Things like better UI, new character customization, and improved combat. I suspect that this will happen with LNF, and they can pull stuff over. I hope they can add those BIG mountains that Sean was rambling about, and if we have big mountains, why not deep oceans? We might possibly get smoother multi player, seening as LNF seems very dependent on it. All very exciting!!!

pastel minnow
#

I've accepted that terrain in NMS will never get better and isn't even the focus of the game anymore.
Only the assets will continue to improve and get expanded upon.

#

LNF is as if they wanted to perfect their terrain system but couldn't add it to NMS so they just made a new game around it.

I am hoping that LNF will inspire some new ideas and QOL changes for NMS though

#

I was really hoping for a NMS rework/sequel when hello games announced their in-development project a while back. LNF doesn’t really excite me as much

#

But since they’ve been in development in parallel for a while, hopefully some of the LNF stuff will bleed into NMS

pastel minnow

Yeah, I don't think they'll ever change terrain.. 😓

Still holding out hope for the future though

Hey what if the teased ship was a unique type that was obtained by doing a new quest, which would be like a tutorial for how to build it?
And then you could scrap other ships of that specific type to get parts to customize it further?

#

That way, we wouldn't have customization cause a lot of people are against it.. but we also would have customization but for that one new ship type.

#

Fingers crossed that's what'll happen. 😄

turbid fossil
#

How is this better than having moderate customisation for all types?

oblique smelt
#

I want more new ship type than ship customization. There is high risk of killing all the ship hunt part of the game and hunting community.

#

New ship type or just unique model. It does not matter . I still dont have space for it 😭 Sean pls rise ship slot count to 16.

# neat lynx Wow. I didn't know that. That's insane.

Yep. There's other stuff that happens in the community that makes you realize "the most wholesome and welcoming community" is just a facade.
It used to be true years ago before the community had gotten as big as it is now.

I mean there's probably still parts that are good. When anything gets big there are a lot more chances for chaos.

pastel minnow
#

Yeah that's true.

I'd say NMS is now more like any other community. Waypoint and Echoes really brought a ton of people to NMS and that certain magic in the community got lost. It was certainly an experience watching it happen.

The three things I'd like to see most in this game are:

  • Permanent Terrain modification. So if I break the ground or a plant, it stays that way (or at the very least it does if in range of a base computer)
  • flyable and landable frigates
  • A fix to tthe annoying base building bug that limit the height of underwater bases

I like the new inventory system when it comes to tech and cargo space

#

I just with HG wouldn't pair it with this atrocious UI

#

Nobody asked for rechage bars to be replaced with percentage values

#

Noone asked for having 120 cargo slots squashed onto 40% of screen estate

#

Nobody asked for filtering options that are redundant to Used For descriptions found on item cards

I hate most the icon size change when you move stuff. I often misclick and place stuff in wrong slot

Or nowhere because the "frame" around the slots

Nobody asked for indicators of new items in X inventory that are lower res and streched out to accompany bigger size font

#

And all that when game launched on the platform with the smallest screen size yet, the Switch

I have issues reading text on the Steam Deck with slightly bigger screen, I can't imagine the afwul time I would have over there

I whish

#

And it would be cool if they had diffrent look and specializations like frigates.

#

Carrier- more hangar ship slots
Crusier- more jump range
Tanker-more general storage slots
Galleon- higher fleet stats
Living freighter - unique alien tech, LS heal damaged tech , fill jump drive over time when in freighter.
Exotic freigjter- royal luxury look and all stats bit rised but master in none
Pirate - pirate frigate missions that give diffrent loot than normal frigate missions
Ofc all freighter types come in 3 sizes like the capital freighters.
