nms-the-future

[faint gale]

We need the ability to explore the entirety of our freighters not just the landing and top bays

[urban timber]

That would be cool but do you have any comprehension of how stupidly big they are?

[faint gale]

Yup, they'd be perfect for making another gamemode. Like managing your ship's internal structure and team running it. Could even go as far as to make specific types, like an exploration freighter or a fighting freighter but don't keep it permanent so you can change it's structure later. It's also beneficial as it can teach you how to run a team and how to manage things irl.

Though in action it might just be straight anarchy

[urban timber]

Ok how do I explain better...

[plain comet]

Yeah the cockpits need some diversity

[urban timber]

My freighter is over 4.5 km long

[faint gale]

Yeah

Perfect

More to explore

[urban timber]

That's just the length, not area or volume

[faint gale]

Ikr, it's even BIGGER

[urban timber]

Yeah... something tens of cubic km in size with complex interiors

[faint gale]

Yeah, that might be harder to manage than explore. But it'd be worth it for me

[urban timber]

It would be hard to do either

[faint gale]

That's what she said

[urban timber]

You ever tried walking more than 2 km in nms?

[faint gale]

Yeah

It's faster than irl

[urban timber]

Is it?

[faint gale]

I use a walker so it definitely is for me

[urban timber]

Ah, the regular "walking" animation is also more of a jog, lol

[faint gale]

Oml the jog is slow

Also the walker comment was a joke, I'm not there yet lol

[bright mantle]

Mechs in space

I want a hanger to deploy mechs for combat

[urban timber]

But my point is that the game has trouble rendering things like the planetary archives from further than 1 km away, I dont think a detailed interior would be feasible at all, tbh

[faint gale]

I'm still hopeful for mechs as big as Gundams

[bright mantle]

GUNDAM

[faint gale]

I love robots of all sizes

I'm literally playing a robot character

[bright mantle]

I love Gundam and mechs definitely should add more but also maybe a slightly wider hab

[faint gale]

We need more feminine options for the mechs

[bright mantle]

Also a cat race to play as would be cool in my opinion,I want a tail 😂

[urban timber]

Huh?

[lusty quiver]

arnt they all just mechs tho with little to none feminine or masculine characteristics

[trim oxide]

Aren't they just metal at the end of the day?

I'd love to see a kind of detachable hab/ship module for corvettes

[feral crest]

Highly modularized player/exosuit models would be lit, ngl

Corvettes should have copy+pastable share codes; the UI would tell you what parts are required, but if you have them you can exactly reconstruct a corvette design.

The nomad exocraft can drive on water, it should really be able to be summoned on water too

[cerulean oriole]

I really would love that, honestly think it would make certain civilizations organization methods explode

As well as create actual proper corvette shipyard establishments in player civs

[grave jasper]

What if hg added a ship randomizer option
Whenever you dock in a station or the anomaly ur current ship is swapped out for a random ship in ur inventory of the same type when you leave ur ship
Legacy ships get swapped with legacy ships
Corvettes with corvettes

[violet vortex]

@gloomy hazel I reiterate the same warning I offered you in #no-mans-sky message. Be civil. Do not instigate or engage in drama, especially with someone who has you blocked. Next rule violation of this sort will be subject to a timed mute.

[rare swallow]

i think manual docking would add so much to this game in terms of immersion...

would slow it down big time and wouldnt fit to the traveling system in general.... but still

[cerulean oriole]

Could work if it was corvette to corvette, than player teams could dock together multiple in a system to interact

[turbid scroll]

When will HG add bigger corvette rooms?

[oblique smelt]

We dont know

[feral crest]

I really hope they add a placeable teleport uplink corvette parking for player bases

Creating a mid-air corvette parking space just like the ones for freighters

[obsidian gale]

either that, or a bigass landing pad, or honestly atp i'd be fine with just parking cameras like some IRL cars have lol

my biggest problem with parking a corvette against a structure is getting the altitude right, because you can't really (or at least I can't) get the right angle to do so with the third person camera. and forget about using the 1st person view

[cerulean oriole]

I mean, instead of a landing pad, could do like a docking link where the corvette hovers a certain distance above it at a base or settlement

[clever junco]

Making pirate freighter customization not suck would be pretty great

[clever junco]

Actually though. Why can I add a backpack and laser gun to my gene-sequenced flying manatee squid pet that does nothing BUT my custom-built-city carrying mobile base Sclass pirate freighter HAS to be "Sith lord Logitech" lookin' ahh

[lavish furnace]

Please make update where base can be build by more than 1 player 😄

[frosty silo]

Making freighters to fight would be so welcome, Dreadnought with all that fire power doing nothing: "Am I a joke to you??" while seeing you fighting pirates.

[tranquil edge]

Fr my reaction to getting my first dreadnought was
"...where are the giant beams of doom and despair gone"

[frosty silo]

Only if you shoot a NPC so it fights you, then the squadron joins and everything goes brrrrrrrrr
Pirate ships too, too close to your freighter will make the cannons to go brrrrrrrrrrr

[sleek birch]

My new idea is advanced AI system for no man's sky for example some plants should be aged or in higher elevation we should see lower temperature and frozen plants or in some places on planets we should see lower humidity and dry plants

Look like my idea's are light no fire patch for no man's sky!

[sleek birch]

It's will be fun,there will be a lot of improvements like environment based buildings and nps will more reacts to environment or player actions

[turbid scroll]

Still hoping that HG adds bigger corvette rooms

[sage sail]

same

or the ability to tear down walls

[feral crest]

I hope they add ability to further customize starship trails. E.g., change the pattern, size, effects of the trails

Or at least have the trails from corvette thrusters match their designs. E.g., square thrusters should have square trails

[south tulip]

Would be nice to see an guild system with quests/hud/ships for multiplayer

[trim oxide]

I wouldn't mind flame design decals for ships

Now that'd be nifty

Space hot rods

[visual cliff]

make exotic and other decorations rotatable and scalable

[stray spear]

Something I've wanted ever since my 6th hour on the game was stuff like big battles against space fleets AND other creatures on land. I've wanted to create a whole empire, send them into battle, make elite units, deploy with them in either mechs or drop pods, and just see and get involved in the chaos

If nothing else please add the ability to create an empire and make DEPLOYABLE AND USABLE drop pods on my freighter base

And I know that the whole point is to use spaceships and stuff, but it would be cool to fly around in a in-atmosohere only vtol helicopter

Sorry I'm asking for a lot but I'm just stating everything I've wanted in this moment

[stray spear]

I agree, except instead of just a bigass landing pad, a hangar would be pretty damn awsome

Anyway, sorry for saying so much

[whole gulch]

Hear me out... Wormholes... They appear in one system, and link to other systems. But they can be either in the same galaxy, or another galaxy. They can remain permanent, or after a time period (say a few days or months) disappear.

[turbid scroll]

What if you could build one in an asteroid base? It could connect directly to another asteroid base in another system

[opaque saddle]

Don't you guys think that frigates are kind of outdated?

[oblique smelt]

They are old feature tbf. Same with derelicts

And living ships

Base building and exocrafts are like one of the oldest ones.

[pallid ruin]

I would love multi offline base support

we alrwady have multi corvette

[sage sail]

not to mention the original ships
before living ships,sentinel ships and corvettes

(i forgot if solars existed at launch)

[pallid ruin]

idk

original ships are still cool @sage sail

[sage sail]

ye

[pallid ruin]

now people automatcially go for living ships 30 mins after starting a save

[sage sail]

or make a corvette

etc

[urban timber]

They did not

[visual cliff]

Day2 of asking for a update that allows for exotic building parts and decorations to all have scaling and rotation

[twilit portal]

An expansion of the wiring system would be great
What we have right now is good but it could be pushed closer to what Minecraft offers with redstone
Daylight sensors, dispensers, pistons etc
And additionally an auto switch that switches the same tick; this would make digital logic a lot quicker and the old auto switch would still have a place too.

[urban timber]

Ok so everything in terms of circuit logic is possible, its just annoying

Id want parts like the auto-switch that function as logic gates on their own

[twilit portal]

Yeah I've found my biggest gripes are that the wire lock on to parts is a bit too sensitive for fine wire pathing, and having auto switches always activate next tick slows down a lot of computation potential

[boreal vortex]

I feel like it’d be a good idea to be able to buy orbital uplinks with quicksilver, thoughts?

[slate raft]

i think it should be time to do another bug fix patch. While it the game has been pretty clean in the last 1-2 years, aince voyagers I’ve experienced more andmore bugs

[cerulean sage]

I think an interior teleporter module for corvettes would be cool. it wouldnt let you teleport there but would otherwise have the same functions as other portals (in freighters, bases etc.)

[shrewd anvil]

I hope we can get aquariums to put our catches in, I like fishing :)

[turbid scroll]

I hope we can build modular aquariums that could also be used as swimming pools

[craggy valve]

The game needs an overhaul to PvP, multiplayer and PVE.

Also it would be nice to have corvette wreckage farming available outside of the expedition.

Ooh and we can cook food so we should get a food hunger bar. The beds in the corvettes should be interactive, you can sleep in them and replenish your health or log off

[sage sail]

or just van life roleplay

since you can't fast forward time in game

[craggy valve]

Why would you want to fast forward time in game anyway?

[tranquil edge]

I was able to fastforward once to skip the starbirth 1-day waiting times

[urban timber]

From what I've heard, that can seriously mess up your save

[tranquil edge]

Yep, heard that too but didn't know back then, glad I didn't get any issues haha

[polar merlin]

Nms should add. Nukes who as whet me?

[native wave]

what are you going to do with them though?

[polar merlin]

Meke planet's go boom

[native wave]

I see

[polar merlin]

Im good an the head for sure

[native wave]

I mean, not to divulge too much lore in a non-relevant channel but the Vy'keen canonically have nuclear weapons

maybe you can buy it off them

[polar merlin]

Fr

[polar merlin]

Yessssss goooooooooo babyyyyyyyyy

[native wave]

not yet but potentially in the future XD... but they do have nukes

[polar merlin]

I want nukes now

Pls game give me nukes pls 😭😭

[native wave]

I posted the relevant dialogue in #nms-lore if you wanna learn more

[polar merlin]

I don't want lore i need boms nukes or black hoow booms

[cerulean harness]

legalize nuclear bombs

[urban timber]

They wouldnt do much because terrain would regenerate anyway

[oblique smelt]

Nukes? Soo primitive . Antimatter bombs is where its at.

[turbid scroll]

Death Star weapon

[zinc cave]

I'd love to see some more survival aspects like food for hunger and water for thirst

[analog mauve]

There should be a advanced /free building mode at this point where you can place anything anywhere, no matter if it glitches into other things, the position would be otherwise invalid etc.
With glitch building being a thing already, all this would do is make complex building techniques more accessible.

Maybe give it a little disclaimer like "Yo, this isnt meant to work this way and your experience might get weird, use at your own risk"

[quasi cedar]

Probably a burned theme already
But I really wanna see the true base stats and bonuses of my things
I don't really care to have the stronger MT, ships, etc. maxes
But I wanna know the bonuses for my staff and corvettes since they seem have random distributed bonuses

[lavish furnace]

My wish about NMS is more coop
I would like to be able to manage energy between friends' bases 😛

[polar merlin]

But still cool

[analog mauve]

I want Minecraft hoppers in NMS.
Aka, supply pipes connected to refiners siphon out the output slot and put it into the input slot of either another refiner or a storage vault or whatever

Or maybe something like localized storage vaults and you can connect a supply pipe to take items out of these local vaults and put into refiners or anything with its own inventory

Imagine Minecraft's Create Mod but in NMS

[analog mauve]

And crafters ofc

[urban timber]

The main issue would probably be controlling refiner input so more complex recipes would be done properly

Idk whether it would be like 3 input 1 output or something different

[obsidian rampart]

Vro I want them to add crouching, I could make crawl spaces and stuff

[urban timber]

Nms parkour update

[frosty silo]

Even when I use false floor, a tree or other things grow out of nowhere close by.

[obsidian rampart]

Mayhap, wall vaulting could be cool

[minor flume]

I'd love to see rivers on planets, as well as more diverse flora. It seems to be all the same type of plants across the entire planet.

Biomes would be nice too.

[oblique smelt]

Multiple biomes on 1 planet would cause u to see everything faster.

[dapper bough]

They’re probably saving the biome aspect for something like LNF I highly doubt biomes will be added this late into the development cycle

[cerulean sage]

I agree

And maybe some more interesting terrain generations

Ravines, crazy mountain chains, maybe even mountains that reach into space

Water falls

[feral crest]

Terrain generation is more or less set in stone, since any change could result in players' bases being massively altered.

[cerulean sage]

Yeah true

[quasi cedar]

I don't think lnf would be release before having rivers in nms

[cerulean sage]

Maybe we could get some extreme planets where there's new crazier generation

Without affecting existing planets

[quasi cedar]

You thinking about purple systems 2

Electric boogaloo

[nocturne ruin]

I guess Like newer Generation that Checks If a seed for a Planet is already on the NMS Server and then uses the old Generation
If there isnt a seed already, it'll use the new one

[shadow dagger]

wouldn't work offline or if the discovery servers go down (which happens a lot)

[clever junco]

I think the main lacking points of the game are:

• bland sound design
• worldbuilding depth (pirate NPCs and high conflict systems don't look or act any different. Even procedural generation should have elements that matter/mean something**)
• Lore is basically just a text dump and main story quests feel like the least interesting thing to do. Naming is important, also **
• Settlement QoL

Permanent/practical terraforming within your base and Corvette loading bays as a building component would transform base building

[cerulean oriole]

For pirate systems, i would like it if they gave the NPCs some of the autophage armor and cloaks to give them more of an outlaw off the grid look rather than have them in the same gear as the normal systems NPCs

[south sparrow]

we need atlas parts outside of the expedition

we also need atlas interior stuff

[feral crest]

In theory, they could change terrain generation algorithm by excluding planets containing bases, and providing a way to manually trigger the change to the new algorithm (e.g., first remove all bases on the planet, then use a specific item from space). They'd just need to come up with some flavor text to justify it in the lore of the game.

[vast wave]

Game does not differentiate between planets that have been discovered or not, planets with bases or not, etc

We had changes to terrain generation that impacted planets with established bases and there's no way around that I'm afraid

And they don't need any lore explanation, we had new planets added in Origins just because

[frosty silo]

I heard of these wild bases but never saw one and believe me, I find so much on planets. I remember finding a portal when I was even supposed to find it and of course I didn't know it was a portal back then.
As for bases, I have a single rule: EM hotpost must be close by. Hell no using solar or biofuel, I have no time for that shit 🤣

I don't mind false floor, you can hide stuff that would otherwise look silly like the light pole feet, look how the floor wrap around it hiding its ugly feet, and hides the wonder hologram making things look more natural.

[turbid scroll]

The Glitch weird subtype should have all weird subtypes combined. So you could find all stabilised glitches on the same planet.

Also HG please add larger corvette habs

[obsidian gale]

I think it'd be nice to be able to stumble on shipyards as PoIs, or maybe substitutes for space stations in certain systems, that would sell you "stock" corvettes built from a variety of configurations premade by HG

[thick ginkgo]

I like that idea

[obsidian gale]

Maybe these shipyards would vary depending on the dominant race in the system, or if in an abandoned system they'd be like the ghost freighters but bigger

[obsidian gale]

In this instance their interiors could give off major deadspace vibes, and could be a late-game thing with very high risk but very high reward

These corvettes would fill the function of canonical "stock" ships that the average people of the universe would have access to, and from there you'd have something to base modifications off of instead of building the entire craft from the ground up

Think like buying a YT-1300 and kitting it out opposed to constructing an entirely different craft on your own

[native wave]

World immersion is something HG needs to seriously consider...

Honestly getting a bit tired of the Sentinels destroy everything excuse. We have starships, we have corvettes, all of these things have to be manufactured somewhere. We have synthesis laboratories and underground manufacturing centers : we should be able to visit them. Hope they really work on these things.

[obsidian gale]

I really think they should reconsider the sentinel thing. I agree. While I know that NMS is about exploring an unexplored universe, it's hard to believe the infrastructure that we all rely on (Space stations, the manufactured goods in the trade terminal, the freighters, etc) just exists without some form of larger civilization to support it

I don't want nor expect city-planets with real factories and ships you can actually see being assembled that then fly out and are in the world or anything crazy like that, because it'd be a technical and i'm sure financial nightmare to even begin building such an update

But I think there's more they can work with than the obvious things the community has pointed out

[native wave]

Surely the Sentinels can't get you in space, I mean the space stations exist just fine so there's really nothing in the lore that wouldn't allow a 'Star Wars Corellian or Kuat Drive Yard' like orbital shipyards where we can purchase pre-made corvettes like you mentioned.

[obsidian gale]

i was playing last night and noticed one of the space station models has like

a shitton of windows on it all lit up

that implies that space stations are probably population centers

orbital shipyards could work the same way

[native wave]

We explore only 5% of the stations they're so big and deep, especially the cavern right beneath the Station Core.

Maybe NMS has an Elyisum like scenario where entire populations live in space stations.

[shadow dagger]

The old ones had the super iconic black floors with the blue light strips

The new ones artistically look like they could be from any other space game, they're way too generic

[serene brook]

yeah, i wish it felt more "lived in"

[nocturne ruin]

Would be cool to Claim an abandoned system as a Home and the spacestation within as a base

[tranquil edge]

Abandoned station restoring/claiming would be sick indeed, like your custom spacestation base

[nocturne ruin]

Just some Basic outside customization (Like with freighters) and Base building inside would be great

[fallow bobcat]

Hello Games, I have a proposition.

Can you bring us more base building options?

I have countless salvaged data in my freighter storage and I want to spend some of them not only for one of guild.

Or at least some sort of exchange at space stations that let's say 1 frigate module=10 salvaged data.

[feral crest]

Dump idea: robot rumble between players with minotaurs

[feral crest]

I agree, more base customization parts is definitely needed

Maybe create a steam workshop, so players can submit their own parts.

[fallow bobcat]

I have an idea if they allow us to buy some space stations.

Let us buy components for data.

[outer dome]

What are the repercussions for the system when you claim an abandoned station? Can you populate it? Make decisions? Choose economy? Do other players pay a tax when they visit? Offer tribute?

[shadow dagger]

Players 'owning' systems is too much power, IMO. (It's "No Man's" Sky, after all) Building bases in space would be the better version of the feature, I think. You could build wherever you want in the system, in any kind of system, as big as you want... Multiple players would be able to build stations in a single system that way too

[noble ore]

I would love to see conservatories for all the flora we come across. There are so many i wish i could take and put up in my base or settlement. I wish there were more customization in settlements.

[cerulean oriole]

While i think owning systems would be a bit too much power for a single player, i do think there should be an automatic feature that changes how a system appears on the map if theres a certain amount of bases and settlements in it.

Give Civs a bit of an imprint on the galactic map

[feral crest]

Maybe if a player/civ has at least one base on every planet & moon in a system, they are then able to go to the space station and set a message that is visible on the galactic map.

Possibly add a (in-game) monetary cost too, like 10000 nanites to set/change the message.

[cerulean oriole]

Because i think if thats added, Player Civs will get a lot more traffic if players are going through the region. If i spot a system with that specific highlight on the galactic map while im traveling, im detouring towards it.

I'm going to want to see what it is and whats going on there, if its something i vibe with i'm probably going to stick around. While i'm there i might get the chance to meet and chat with other travelers

Either that of change up featured builds on the Anomaly to Featured Player Civs

[gloomy hazel]

I wanna be able to harvest f4om the stars

And the stars should be real, not just skybox

And solar flare events on harsh planets

Oh and dysons spheres!

Dunno what they would do but it would be cool

[turbid scroll]

Waiting for HG to add larger corvette habs and asteroid bases...

[knotty swift]

asteroid bases would be insane

reminds me of the one map from the original star wars battlefront 2

had to search it up, polis massa it was called

[feral crest]

Low-orbit bases and asteroid bases should definitely become a thing

Or even deep-space bases, where you'd place a gravitational core to build out from

[nocturne ruin]

You're right
Although the Points Made Afterwards do Sound a Lot better than owning a system outright

[outer dome]

It would make sense to add spherical habs or connecting tubes/corridors

[urban timber]

Would it? Idk about spherical habs

[outer dome]

Well, I don't mean complete spheres, just a curved wall. Quarter circles, with flat floor and ceiling. It's called a cylindrical room in base building, I think

I was just thinking of parts that exist in base building that they could add to Corvettes

They have hull pieces in that shape but the player can't enter the space

[shrewd anvil]

If we ever got a NMS Settlements 2.0 update id love to see being able to move buildings around, obtaining the ability to upgrade two things at once and also having markers for pending buildings

[pallid bluff]

I kinda wish we could see moving base parts if they could make them work

Like the Create mod from minecraft. less about automation of stuff (though that could be cool too, it'd be nice if I could set up a supply line that automatically refines a supply depot for oxygen i make into carbon, and then condensed carbon to fill up another supply depot) and more about like, moving platforms, rotating around pivot points, gantry shafts and pulleys, elevators, and all the creative stuff that could come with that

having pieces that could be set up to rotate a certain amount with wonder projectors could make some cool stuff. aquariums, "advertisements," etc

i think theres potential for alot of this stuff to mesh well with current electrical stuff like the proximity sensor and other logic that comes with that stuff like that to make really cool contraptions

coupling stuff like that would be extremely cool with player constructed buildings in space. like a space station that rotates? has spinning holograms on it? has a moving/rotating elevator to move between two subsections of the station? peak imo

[toxic slate]

Yeah I was hoping by now they would have added more rooms to the new stations. We lost the ability to walk up to a window and look out into space, which maybe is a small thing but really helped sell the immersion. And I agree, I miss the bar, though I would like something where we can have conversations with random patrons, maybe get missions or hints about a treasure, etc

[urban timber]

Ironically those rooms were nowhere near the actual hull of the station

[nocturne ruin]

Thats true, you can still See that in abandoned Stations. Sometimes seeing the debris Just floating

[lost wing]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Please listen to this hello games, I’m begging you

[gloomy hazel]

Does anyone know if NPCs emote back at you, if you emote at them?

[shadow dagger]

They do

[gloomy hazel]

Love it

[feral crest]

I'm waiting for corvette parts suited to contouring.

And also smarter hab connectivity; habs connected together should be a seamless internal area, with constructable internal walls

[turbid scroll]

Seems cool, like how cuboid rooms are currently done.

Also planetary oceans should come in a lot more colours.
Mainly thinking of a tar-black or lava ocean

[gloomy hazel]

OIL

AMERICA 💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

[feral crest]

There's already an oxygen collector machine, there should be a water electrolyzer which you can place in water to produce dihydrogen and oxygen

[polar merlin]

I minigun

[rancid pilot]

Make aquatic ships

[tired spruce]

What does this mean? There are already ships that can land on water

[copper yacht]

I would like to see material variants for more decorations (such as the rounded desk)

[lean lodge]

What if we added a new freighter room part for "barracks"? Wall-beds, and you could use internal walls to add a few in the center of the room if multiple parts are used.

[feral crest]

I'm guessing they meant like corvettes but submarines, or possibly allow corvettes to traverse underwater

[lean lodge]

What if.. placeable outfit stands and racks? Could display our various outfits, and with stands, we could make it look as if there are actual people guarding doors, and so forth. Can't hurt to make it look like ya got a whole army.

[feral crest]

Idea for April fools: Gnome Ann exosuit skin

The game will be renamed Gnome Ann's Sky on April 1

[tranquil edge]

Yep, every ship can be equipped with ts - on top of that we already got aquatic exocrafts

[sinful flume]

I need to see more corvette cockpits

[plucky tide]

I’m sure someone will make a U-boat eventually 🤔

[knotty swift]

Speaking of submarines... how often do I wish Hello Games would make it possible to tame aquatic animals...

[oblique smelt]

[knotty swift]

right, I followed up and did that 😄 thanks for the suggestion

[compact vault]

With gleams permission and review i present my settlement manifesto

Hello, I'm gonna be blunt and very direct. I'm very autistic about building onto preexisting things. So when say that I'm saddened by the underwhelming nature of the settlements, I mean it. Not because I don't think you shouldn't have made them! No! Not at all! The opposite in fact!
They feel as if they were an after thought even after revising them, and that's what's eating at me! I would love nothing more than to spend hours and hours and HOURS, days on end to tinker and medle with the affairs of my settlements, meticulously placing down infrastructure, decorations, building up lore and leading the small populace to prospers unimaginable to them!(but very imaginable to us ;3) but the very fundamental problem lies within how the settlements are handled.

The time gates, the lack of being able to select a location for a building, the lack of control to fix any weird anomalous behaviors of your autogenerated building layouts(ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE OBSTRUCTIVE!)! It's really hard to love it with my full heart, I wanna be able to find a place to set roots down into and be able to come back to familiarity, but the issue is, either I have absolute control with base and a few static npcs that are bound to single spot and build it for nothing more than vanity, or I deal with the lack of flexibility in the settlements construction mechanics and unable to at the very least course correct any funky mistakes the generative mechanics may make but get sense of.. well I wanna use “belonging” but that sounds sad but I guess it's a good word to use at least in the context of our travellers.

I feel that most people will be ok with their settlements being wiped to achieve a new level of immersion if you were to remove the time gates and refund all the items and such used in order to build them up and upgrade the buildings if it meant they had deeper more personalized role in the development of their settlement.

Which, I know kinda is underminning our current role as overseer, but our role feels more like a city council but instead of putting money into budget to get projects done we have to put in, sometimes intense resources to get anywhere, which isn't bad by any means, but it still doesn't feel fufilling to max our a settlements potential even after spending countless hours, days and even weeks to achieve that goal.

I feel that the best way, if you were to take one more crack at it, is to wipe settlements, completely, not their spots, no, keep them. Instead have an something like an enhanced base computer that is meant to spring up a settlement, get the overseer building, spring up a house, work place and maybe some other third thing, go to the space station and advert that your settlement needs people to live in it, so that way you are able to directly involved with the placement of buildings, what type of buildings, and who lives in them. Then work youre way up with more buildings, upgrading their class to increase production and happiness.

And finally, being able to modify the interior of those buildings and the settlement as a whole. Please, please, PLEASE allow this. I'm not saying throw away the auto generative buildings, no, not at all, but being able to tweak and fix it's funky ness is an absolute must.

And double finally, I feel the best way to refund all the resources that were once put into the old settlements is to have a ever shrinking sroage container that has as much capacity as is needed to hold onto the resources, but as soon as they are removed, the storage spot dissappears, until all of them are gone, to then which it, itself, will dissappear.

Thank you so much for reading my hyperfixated ramblings, may we have some kickass settlements in the future. -GodsBadAssBlade

Aaand there uwu

[native wave]

I yearn for road building... My settlements look like it's from 7000 BC, I want to build a planned city

[compact vault]

Fr

[clever junco]

Can settlement upgrades auto complete when done it at least have a pop up to help you find the right building?

[polar merlin]

Is No man sky going to survive?

[oblique smelt]

Many games that had "10 year" plans are dead. Meanwhile nms is 9 years and keeps rolling soooo

[native wave]

Not this again 😭😭😭

[gusty kite]

it just got nominated for an award and it's about to hit double digits of age

it's also at its highest consistent player count since launch

GOAT dev team btw

[tranquil edge]

Wouldn't be surprised at all if it stays around for a while, some games go downhill after a few years and updates but No Man's Sky did the opposite with a horrendous launch (and update after update the game keeps getting better and better)

[gusty kite]

Fully agree with this btw, it would be probably my most wanted addition

[glossy basalt]

is there any current leaks to the future of nms?

[tranquil edge]

not rly

[fervent cape]

real question is... is HG gonna fix bugs that have been in the game for years b4 LNF?

[chilly comet]

i also think there are weird flavour things that make no sense

i'm overseer, so why should i keep dancing banned? i am full of joy and whimsy that i wish to share with the settlers

[compact vault]

Yeah, cause like, im dedicated to my settlements now

But they just dont live up to my need to build on them ontop of whats being technically done for me

[plucky tide]

That’ll be awesome

[unborn flower]

I wonder if kings and queens ever felt this way irl 😂

[compact vault]

No, they would just stay in the castle, away from the peasants

[compact vault]

Submitted another suggestion to their zendesk

My idea is to have hidden solar systems that contains no stars, maybe 1 or 2 closely orbiting planets/ moons.

There is no light except the very faint light of the stars, there are no flora to get oxygen/sodium/etc from. Only fauna and minerals. The creatures are ALL hyper aggressive and breath whatever gasses that planet naturally produce and spews out as it is always iced over, even oceanic ones are completely iced over.

Any life, at all will gun at you for survival, they either have a means to super heat their bodies through chemical reactions, heavily furred or just have super high cold tolerance blood thats as thick as molases carrying dense amounts of the gasses it needs to sustain brain functions.

Minerals only makes it a challenge, requirement and acknowledgement that you need to be resourceful and use every bit of resource to its fullest, turn dihydrogen crystals and ferrite into lifesupport gel, turn sodium crystals into shield power, make sure to bring advanced tools and weaponry to maintain your need and self preservation.

Maybe youre here for the thrill, maybe something forms solely on these literally damned planets, perhaps its just to make your claim on something lost to even the ancient galactic conquerers.

I feel it would add unique feel to the game, an initial mystique that can turn to dread to those who are unprepared and challenge for those who wonder “why the hell does every planet have plant life, even against the odds of its environment?” Think It'd give the Hello Games team a real challenge to their fundamental core gameplay and give long lasting players a real run for their money.

Thank you for reading this. This has been GodsBadAssBlade, signing off.

This is for the rogue planets idea

[mental summit]

so what is this channel about

oh nvm

[cursive wagon]

the inner pyramid block alone and its 2x1 counterpart would send the corvette designs into another dimension imo.

cant post pics in here but ill try it in ascii :

---

|\ / |
| \ / |

weve got the tetrahedral pieces we need the octahedral pieces to complete sleek smooth pyramidal lines

[urban timber]

I think i know the sort of piece youre talking about, lol

[clever junco]

Player clans/civilization need an in-game feature. Designated home system and clan register, unique build features like a Corvette or even freighter bay... something with a bigger scale to really help build up a city on your capital

[distant osprey]

i hope in general they make player presence feel more impactful. systems themselves feel kinda disconnected from players and having large bases/settlements doesnt change anything except minor economy differences
itd be cool if larger bases would attract npcs to walk around them depending on the size of the base and contents of it (trade terminals, landing pads, etc), and to encourage player visitation maybe make it so that selling items to a trade terminal puts that item for sale in the same terminal, as it'd naturally create player-led trade hubs

[warped path]

I think starship sound profiles would be pretty cool, could be a tech install that works similar to trails but maybe not just client side

Would love to hear my starship roaring during flight or lightly rumbling while idle

[native wave]

in space, no one can hear you scream

jokes apart, I would like some unique rumbling noises for legacy ships as well

[feral crest]

In VR, gestures could be used to interact with NPCs. Such as waving to begin conversation, and nodding/shaking for yes/no responses.

[fading dew]

Mate, planets like this are in the game already, minus the little details like 'iced over'. Find yourself an Aggressive Sentinels, dead planet and have a ball.

One thing I think would be easy to add and grant the game some challenge is a limit to how much you can sell to any given merchant. Though I don't see it happening.

[cerulean sage]

I'd love better weather, not just planets having a "normal" state and a bad weather one. There should be other weathers that don't change the hazards (temperature or smth), like

• rain
• fog
• cloudy
• snow on lush planets?

[viral creek]

I know my interceptor made some sort of growling noise when flying in a planets atmosphere didn't know if that was unique to those ships or not.

[compact vault]

Mate, you barely read the idea

[fading dew]

No I did, but from a developer's perspective, what does this add to the game? Yes, they can fiddle with the code and add a percentage chance for hostile fauna spawning in dead worlds, but then what? You have to remember everything is everywhere. There are no planets with unique loot or experiences, just different aesthetics and resources. Anything anyone can find there, they can find in a less hostile environment.
If it's about adding a unique experience, it would have to involve an instanced event. They can't add tailored experiences to one planet without adding it to all planets.
That's why they had to make the purple systems to add their new Worlds 2 tweaks.

[cerulean sage]

Just the fact that they would be completely dark would be very cool actually

[fading dew]

It is cool. I've been to black planets with no light. They're creepy as hell. It was a red star planet. Even on the sun side, the planet was dark, with a haunting glow in the sky.

[compact vault]

The idea is to break out of the 9 year old monotonous samey feel, sure gas giants added some zest but the only challenge to them is the environment, while rogue planets would be the inverse of that, the environment is likely rather tame but icey, hell maybe even just as treacherous as a gas giant with constant ice storms, but instead the real danger lies within the fauna, i aint asking for tailored experiences, just more variety. "But theres infinite variety!" Sure, sure, theres also 300+ kitkat flavors out there. But i dont think id be excited in getting another kitkat flavor after eat 300 of them

Come to think of it, gas giants dont support life at all do they?

[fading dew]

I get where you're coming from. It's actually a complaint I've had about this game forever, but I've come to understand the limitations of their engine. It seems vast, but it's just an illusion created by overlapping repetition.
Planets are finicky things to change because people's bases tend to be affected.
Abandoned stations, derelict freighters, and the like, is where I wish they'd gone in a different direction. There was a missed opportunity for real challenge and diversity there.

[cerulean oriole]

I have a feeling based on the bridges they found in game files that the next major update will probably focus around freighters

honestly a rogue planet wouldn't be impossible. just make them an encounter that can happen very rarely while warping once your past say stellar multitudes

system skybox with just one planet in it

[shadow dagger]

I've been thinking about it a lot recently, but this game has a problem with being full of "fake rare" things with only a handful of "real rare" things.
"Real rare" as in discoveries that are actually notable and exciting, things you would want to share with the community. "Fake rare" as in things are designed to look cool and unique but are actually extremely common and accessible, to the point where most players will have seen something practically identical.

To explain what I mean, there are a few examples that come to mind:

Glowing striders vs greater mushroom beetles; The greater mushroom beetle is an extremely rare type of creature, almost mythical. They are so unlikely to generate that for a long time there were only a handful of documented species of them and the ones that had been found were worth travelling across the galaxy to see. By comparison, the glowing striders spawn super frequently within certain parameters. You can find one with just a couple hours of searching provided you have purple systems unlocked and when you do, it will look identical to every other glowing strider anyone else has found ever anyway.

Alien/experimental multitools vs sentinel multitools; While not being particularly rare, alien and experimental multitools only appear in a small percentage of multitool cabinets. If you come across one, it is a somewhat notable discovery, and the location can be revisited by you or any other player to get it again. Sentinel tools on the other hand, while looking as unique and special as the alien and experimental ones, can be easily found on any dissonant planet. It's pretty much the same deal with the Atlas tools as well, though at least those ones have unique variants that have to be searched for.

Another example of a "fake rare" thing is the exotic biomes. There are countless instances of newer players sharing screenshots of the hexagon biome planet with questions like "has anyone ever seen something like this before?" Unfortunately, everyone who's played the game for a significant amount of time will have seen at least one planet completely indiscernible from it.

Hello Games used to put a lot of work into deep procedural systems to have actual rare and unexpected things to find. But for a long time now, every new addition is practically spoonfed to the player, like they just want to play it safe and make sure all the super casual players who only play for a week every time an update comes out will get to experience everything so there's not much out there to reward you for really looking.

The entire No Man's Sky community used to be built around finding cool and unique stuff out in the universe to share on wikis and subreddits

[viral creek]

Sentinel ships are possibly the one thing that has such a wide appearance range that while some are "common" you can find others that are extremely rare.

I don't know if they have plans to add new systems or not, would be cool even if they were like brown dwarf stars or something of that exotic nature.

[valid nexus]

They should add wide habs or just a choice to make the small connection doors way bigger

[modern juniper]

Some random things I’d love to see added down the road. Some are serious, some are probably unrealistic, but I dream of it anyway.

-More outfit slots.
-A new piece of tech you could acquire that allows you to craft something without having to craft the required components beforehand, as long as you have the materials to craft those components.
-Corvette landing pad for bases.
-Have your active Corvette be part of your frigate formation rather than awkwardly docking next to your hanger. (Not eligible for frigate expeditions, just for flavor since we beam down anyway.)
-More color choices for bases, corvettes, outfits, etc.
-More Atlas style things, like outfit options to go with the existing helmet and backpack.
-Allow us to detach the camera when customizing our Corvette after building it.
-More Corvette parts along with more flexibility on how to place them, without having to rely on glitch building.
-Make Corvette more interactive, sleep on beds, wake up in med bay if you die and your Corvette is your active ship. Gun turrets that can be controlled by friends. Corvette can be repaired by friends if being damaged in a dog fight.
-Reclassify, gas giants, and make actual gas giants, with special ship equipment to allow your ship to go to deeper levels, build floating bases harvest gasses and have floating debris that can be landed on, but no planet surface.
-Allow us to land on large asteroids, build small bases on them.
-Give plants proper orbits, make stars approachable to a point, proper asteroid belts, add autopilot to every ship, allow it to work with tagging planets and/or give us a system map similar to the galaxy map to set pulse travel that adjusts for the new system layouts.

-add satellites, space, debris, comets to some systems.
-Space guilds for you and your friends.
-Shared storage space and/or mail for guild mates, so you can send friends items when they’re not online or near you.
-Be able to pilot your capital ship around a system.
-Be able to see your friend’s capital ship while yours is also in the system.
-Proper capital ship battles.
-Have more explorable parts of your capital ships like an engine room, a secondary hanger for the express purpose of viewing your stored ships.
-Revamp crashed freighters so there’s more variety in age, and condition of said freighters.
-Cities, towns on some plants. Some active, some abandoned, but relatively rare,
-Home planets/systems for each race, extremely rare, perhaps only 1 per galaxy but perhaps have a new storyline to find them.
-Astronomy. The stars you see in a system are the actual stars near you, designate constellations in your system, when you’re near the center or edge of the galaxy the sky will reflect that view, show the other galaxies in the sky.
-Proper Nebula, some are like regular systems, some are like uninhabited systems, only no planets and only a space station. Add something to make the, worth visiting.

Okay, that’s enough crazy ideas for now. lol

[finite wave]

Exo craft OVERHAUL at this point there useless except the mech and you don't necessarily need the submarine

That's what I'd like to see an Exo craft Overhaul

[feral crest]

I wish you could auto-pilot the corvette without needing to be in the pilots' seat, just need to be inside the corvette.
I also wish auto-piloting to a space station would pilot the corvette to land in the space station.

[cerulean sage]

these would be so cool qol fixes

[urban timber]

For the first one, youd want it to detect that you are in/on the corvette before autopiloting

Something else I'd like is the option to autopilot to a specific point without only pulsing

[knotty swift]

these are some legit suggestions, I hope someone of their team reads that lol

[lusty spade]

Would love more additions to Living Ships at some point, especially with weapons. I like the idea of custom living tech but I would love a proper arsenal for them at least, maybe something to actually differentiate them from other ships considering the subpar stats. Maybe overhaul them to be mobile and long range, then reference their original use of avoiding black hole damage and make them immune to the damages caused by galaxy hopping.

[urban timber]

Currently their unique features are easier recharging, accessing any system except purple, and easily upgradable modules

I think their weapons do something unique too, like the eye beams leeching shield

[lusty spade]

Idk, considering how annoying they are to get and how difficult they can be to upgrade I would like them to have some notable benefit in gameplay, especially considering the interceptor getting hovering which has a load of uses

[lusty spade]

Okay I actually didn't know about this thats neat

[urban timber]

It would be cool if they had counterparts to all weapons that had a unique effect

[lusty spade]

Idk, these are obviously something, but also arent really things that a player at this point in gameplay can't access

[urban timber]

True, I want a living ship/living tech overhaul in general tbh, I love the aesthetic

[lusty spade]

By the time I got a living ship I had every recharge material in bulk, Indium Drive is easy to get very early, and tbh I have an easier time with normal modules than living ones

[lusty spade]

Same they're so cool

[urban timber]

Ok yeah the grafted eyes recharge shields on impact

[lusty spade]

Didn't know that, thats cool

[urban timber]

It is, also when you pulse in a living ship, youre more likely to encounter void egg space encounters, which drop living ship upgrades

[lusty spade]

Can't you only get those while in a living ship?

[urban timber]

Oh maybe, lol

[lusty spade]

Iirc the more important increased encounter chances is Whalesong which is also good but ultimately pretty niche

[urban timber]

Well, that can also help with getting more living ship upgrades

[lusty spade]

True

I would still appreciate some general use, a lot of the unique aspects of living ships are tied to the process of maxing out the ship, once you're there, the utility falls off a lot and you end up with something that has lower stats and less unique features compared to sentinels and solars for example

[urban timber]

Yeah... though I think HG might want to avoid making them the absolute best like they were when first released

[lusty spade]

They definitely feel like something that got a little left behind as development went on, especially with changes like black hole damage being removed

[lusty spade]

Yeahhh I get that, which is why I think focusing on a loop of less combat potential, good mobility, good hyperdrive, and dropping galaxy damage would work
Gives it a niche that makes any player want to use it, solves a pretty rough issue with current game design (After your first galaxy jump, the tech breaking loses its charm and becomes an annoyance to avoid), and keeps it strong enough to stand unique compared to other higher tier ships, sentinels have combat, solars have raw pulse power, exotics are a high stat jack of all trades with a slightly lower shield stat

[compact vault]

Living corvette would be terrifying

Fuck it, im in

[urban timber]

Took no convincing, lol

[compact vault]

Folded under negative pressure

Nae nae

[woven light]

and while were at it living freighter

🥺

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

[lusty spade]

Living Freighter would be cool but honestly I dont know about it

Either it uses normal freighter bases which would look bad because style inconsistency or it would have new rooms and everyone would have to choose between which room type they want

Easy solution 2 freighters /j

[lusty spade]

This on the other hand... perfect

Would be cool if the alien multitools were more in line style wise with living ships

There's an aesthetic with organic tech in this game but then the alien tools kinda just do their own thing

[urban timber]

Some corvette parts should be able to have things like reactors clip into them like a cover

Example: scaffolding

[lusty spade]

Oh yeah I dont think they should

Thinking on it more aliens being their own thing is fine

[hollow zodiac]

Leg module, torso module, arm module. The Corvette now has a pattern that the build has to fit within. But can link to other players Corvettes.

[celest stirrup]

What do y'all think the possibility of owning space stations in the future would be? I know we have freighters but I'm talking like, massive shipyards where we could dock our freighter and modify it. Maybe even do a module system like corvettes

[feral crest]

Interlocking corvettes, forming Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers' style Gundam minotaur

With it, you can finally fight the immortal worms

[tropic yacht]

How about having space warehouses for storing stuff you can't get anywhere else?

Secure storages Ibmean imagine finding reall rare stuff then almost losing it but knowing you put it in a safe place... 🙂

[cobalt pine]

Freighter base storage

[tidal orchid]

Living ship has less than half the maneuverability of my squid ship lmao I hate ships that can’t turn on a dime

[dark drum]

I would love to see like, player federations (guilds). Would be cool to have a guild freighter that can be summoned and players can store their fleet (individual ships) there.

Also some more flushed out interactions with the existing races. Would be cool if you can stir up economies at systems, help "at war" systems fight wars, or even initiate wars in unsteady sectors

[mint token]

both of these are possible and doable unless im misunderstanding something here. We can leave seat while in auto pilot and if you use Pulse drive to go to space station, it will eventually go in on its own, its just slow after the pulse stops, i guess because you are drfiting slowly at that point so it takes a minute or two to get inside..

though you must be lined up with the door as well or you will crash into it instead of going inside

[clever junco]

I think the most important thing is to go back over current areas that are missing depth.

• Appearance customization feels very limited (lots of goofy alien heads but not much in the way of armor set variety)

• freighter appearance customization is pretty minimal (external and non-"building zone")

• Exocraft need more features and customization.

• structure variety. "Minor settlements" are really lame. More unique system type-specific structures like vykeen only armories or pirate only rebel camps. Maybe these can have multiple MT cabinets or different ship spawning distribution so we actually care about them. Maybe even mysterious "exotic" buildings that are even more rare.

• ALSO on the above note, and this may be the most important imo because it's so fundamental in the gameplay loop: make space stations a little bit DIFFERENT than just RGB RNG. Why do three different civilizations at every possible economy level have identical space stations? The layout can be the same for player convenience but at least have some basic semblance of worldbuilding.

[gusty kite]

Absolutely!

The game is miles wide and many places are miles deep, but the places that aren't are the few sore spots in an otherwise amazing game

Especially the point about space stations, because many players spend the majority of their time there or on new planets for quests. The new planets always offer variety, but the space stations at the core of the gameplay loop do not

I'd love an entire update dedicated simply to overhauling space stations

[gloomy hazel]

I just think that black hole should be renamed to wormhole

[chilly glacier]

[feral crest]

I feel like there needs to be more planetary base decoration parts. After all, once you've done all the storylines, and have enough materials, nanites and credits to last you forever, designing a cool-ass base is the only thing left to do

[sinful flume]

they should make space stations more like small cities and you could be able to buy an apartment and decorate it

idk

ultra rare space station variations could be cool too

like a small ringworld would be cool for a space station

and the layout inside could have more variety

this is unrelated but they NEED to add ads to multitools

maybe not the staffs

but

it would be nice

[tropic yacht]

@sinful flume this would be cool to see apartments flying from the sky above... imagine seeing the skyline aprtments built with nightlife and variety of life on different planets

Which also made me think should weather be reworked to affect buildings? Ie building damage, jobs to do, infrastructure situations

[granite ferry]

I mean the combat scope is pretty good.

Not exactly what you want but close enough

[noble fox]

Add a Filter that tunes up image contrast so the skybox in space is actually dark instead of piss with color or just switch the skyboxes for darker ones

Multitool animation overhaul, your multitool goes up and down in first person and in third person it doesnt even move, create a flag that makes certain multitools be handed with one, two hands at the grip or two hands

Planet Distance should be increased and the Pulse Engine should be buffed to compensate, I just think that planets take too much of the skybox when they are close to one another and it breaks the immersion, and moons should have more chance of actually generating, moons and the space station should be closer to the planet, Id say 60% more distance for planets and around 30-50% less distance for moons and space stations to their planets

[lone zodiac]

All multitools, not just staffs, should be visible to other players

[sinful flume]

that is one of my main problems with nms

while on a planet the sky is usually beautiful

but in space

in most systems space looks like piss

it is not dark enough

they should atleast make it a toggle

[shadow dagger]

Yeah, they went from bright colourful space backgrounds to dark and "realistic", but didn't do a very good job with it

It should either be inky black or look like you're in a vibrant nebula

[sinful flume]

yeah

they should make it so you can choose which one you want

[celest stirrup]

I want defense turrets for settlements. Seems like every time I go back there, there's a sentinel attack

[lucid iris]

id personally want planetary exploration to be more developped
and i dont mean like more structures or more planetary events
i want a cartography based update
I want to be able to make a map of a planet
I want to be able to get the current height from sea level/lowest surface point without somehow glitching the underwater one (and thatd be helpful for other people since theres expeditions that require a minimum height)

[feral torrent]

could you use minotaur ai to defend it too?

[celest stirrup]

Yes but it doesn't seem very effective

[feral torrent]

ah fair

[celest stirrup]

For starters, the Minotaur doesn't have very many weapons it can use

[feral torrent]

true, honestly that would be cool to be able to add like starship weapons to the minotaur

[celest stirrup]

And the AI always wants to prioritize using the stupid mining laser instead of the guns. So I have to constantly remember to take the laser off whenever I wanted to shoot things

[feral torrent]

ah gotcha

[celest stirrup]

It's just more of a hassle than it's worth

I can take out 4 sentinels in the time it takes it to shoot 1

[feral torrent]

honestly a great improvement would be to link a mineral farm to a refinery to automate that process... so permadeath stacks arent so tedious to refine with

[fallow bobcat]

Pls, let the next update will add new base options.

I'm tired of collecting all those data which only takes my slots!

[tawdry sentinel]

A ui rework with added incromental offsetting and insetting functionality for corvette builder.

[gusty loom]

Do we know about what next update will be?

[tropic yacht]

@gusty loom it could be any time but never say never

[gusty loom]

Noooo

Not any time soon so?

[shadow dagger]

January at the absolute soonest, more likely February

[shrewd ginkgo]

Hello Games needs to work on Light No Fire more than NMS

[spring marten]

for the love of all thats holy in this world and everything everyone holds dear i love this game to bits and i have over 400 hours on it but i haven't properly touched the game in nearly 2 years because of one simple fact. the build limit which i believe in my humble opinion is the biggest flaw this game has as to me it limits all my creativity so so much when i find a cool new planet or ship i just want to build to my hearts content and just be free instead of having my hopes and dreams dashed by the cruel hand of the build limit i beg for the next update to remove or increase the build limit in some way so i can return to this game and have the fun i used to have.. this game is honestly amazing and i would pay way more money then i do for other games for it but the build limit disheartened me so much i haven't touched it since... @glossy knoll can agree with everything i have put here as him and i shared the same tragic experience😔 i love you all and i love this change that build limit i beg🙏

[solemn niche]

I. Want. Customizable. Interceptors.

[sharp garden]

Staff animations lowkey need to be updated so it isn’t shooting as if you’re holding a gun

[hot flame]

They upped it to 21k

[urban timber]

I wonder whether they're talking about the upload limit or overall build limit

[solar imp]

I'd like to see when we enter the ship, login for the first time, go outside or anything, there would be Spaceship AI greeting the player. Just like Ordis in Warframe.

I feel like it would feel more personal and alive, and immersive

[urban timber]

Thats what the exosuit does, mainly

I dont think the starship AI is as advanced

[fluid sail]

Any chance for a second chance at the starborn phoenix DLC on Steam? It kills me seeing it on there unclaimed and unavailable.

[granite ferry]

You can get it from someone who has it if you want one

[wicked drum]

I wish to have a by default disabled optin toggle to enable the sync of large corvettes beyond the build limit in multiplayer. A enforced auto disable without optin would harm star wars roleplay communities and others. Let the player decide if they want to take the risk of game crashes with too large corvettes.

[feral torrent]

Like being able to get interceptor parts from deconstruction?

[solemn niche]

YES

[feral torrent]

Yeah that would be cool, then you could get insane ones

[solemn niche]

EXACTLY for such a modular ship class this should be a no brainer!!
Or maybe its more complex then it seems idk

either way I sent a request to hello games on the off chance that will help even though its clear their gonna do it someday (hopefully soon)

[feral torrent]

Fair, also thoughts about adjustable size garage doors? Like having some big enough for rhe colossus exocraft

The best i managed to do rn is make an archway on like a 5x5 floor entry, but wish it could close

[solemn niche]

Yeah as a rookie blender user I know how hard these things are

[smoky raven]

I hope in the future they increase the maximum number of parts for the base

[feral torrent]

Is there a max?

[smoky raven]

you can see my suffering in #nms-base-building

[feral torrent]

Lol

Damn, 3k on one side

Thats rough

[smoky raven]

I agree, it's not even a base, it's a whole city

[feral torrent]

What if you make 4 bases just outside of the barrier of the other and build the sides in the center?

[smoky raven]

4 bases are enough for my project, but there is another problem: there may be a conflict of parts, and I don’t know how it will look online.

[feral torrent]

Ah true, fair enough

[sinful flume]

exocraft corvette modules would be sick

[round onyx]

i personally want to see more organic technology. An expedition to get an organic freighter / corvette is at the top of my nms desires. Throw in an organic staff that doesnt clip with my 4 eye'd gek would be nice xD.

and more varied organic technology blueprints for regular organic starships so they dont feel so underwhelming.

[solar imp]

ikr but I think they should at least make the Corvette AI. Because Corvette (I guess) is supposed to be the more advanced version of regular Starship

[tropic yacht]

@feral torrent Wait what does it mean for build limit up to 21k? So you can build up to 21miles of a city on a planet and then it won't let you build anymore? 🤔

And only a max of 4 bases per planet?

[oblique smelt]

From 16 000 to 21 000 base parts limit per save

[pine belfry]

I wish you could see your old base from a different save game. It would solve 99.9% of problems with base building.

[oblique smelt]

Not even close. Most of building problems are caused by lack of editing mechanics that need to be workaround with glitch building.

We dont have even a undo button

[tropic yacht]

So really the limit is just base parts we can only have in a 4 base limit

[urban timber]

Corvettes arent exactly a more advanced starship as much as a modular and larger multi-role ship

[gloomy hazel]

I have a really cool idea (for me at least)
Feel free to disagree

I wish we would just leave our corvette anywhere in space and summon Starship.
Leave the corvette manually hop on Starship
the floating corvette will act like a space house for us
you can dismiss Starship in space it will go back to your base or to your freighter

Ik freighter exist for that thing but it still feels cool about it

[echo swallow]

I always leave my freighter where it is, as I use it to fly to the center during each reset. I found an S class dread a bit ago that I've gotten to like 4900 warp distance, so while it's a PITA to fly 700,000 LH, it's not that hard...just time consuming...so I agree, would be cool.

Or let us have 2 capital ships...

[gloomy hazel]

I see

[sinful flume]

they really should improve black holes

u get that nms is not meant to be realistic in the slightest

but

the black holes would look so much better if they were more realistic

and supermassive black holes at the galaxy centre would be cool

[cerulean sage]

Yeah I agree

[sinful flume]

having them be like the size of gas giants

would be sick

[gloomy hazel]

the thing we see is not black hole but wormhole

so the actual black hole is not there in the game
blackhole would destroy your ship

[sinful flume]

and the black holes that we have now should be wormholes

[sinful flume]

or maybe they could take the interstellar approach to it

where there is something weird inside

idk

because they should have a use

[obsidian gale]

Small suggestion I'm writing here so I can make a zendesk tomorrow: A "car garage" sort of remote technology item for your exosuit that toggles the doors to your Corvette. So you'd have the option on the drop-down bar to open or close your ship's doors at a distance; whether incase of emergency or just for looks

[sinful flume]

yes that would be cool

[obsidian gale]

The implication for it being exosuit tech is that youve got a button on your wrist computer or otherwise integrated into your suit that acts like a remote

[young anchor]

Space wars, your settlements could be taken by Raiders and its your job to liberate them, to protect your settlements when your gone you can have command freighters to watch over your settlements, their could also be a loyalty meter so during wars if your settlement loyalty is low your people will be most likely to be taken but if the loyalty is high then that gives your freighters and settlements a boost in defence against attacks

:>

Their needs to be more combat in the game, it gets boring doing the same stuff over and over

[turbid scroll]

Waiting for HG to add bigger corvette habs...

[outer dome]

I'm excited for new corvette stuff in general. New parts and interiors. It must be one of their most popular updates so I'm sure they'll keep adding more

Think of how base building evolved

[slender trout]

C U S T O M S T A T I O N S.

[sinful flume]

fr

even just adding ads would make combat alot better

[keen cairn]

Ground combat should def get improved

[tranquil edge]

The kinda ads we finna get:
"Alright his shield is almost down, ima switch to infrakni-"
"Nothing beats a jet2 holiday! And right now, you could save 50 pounds, per person!"
"Erm excuse me what the actual fu-"

[sinful flume]

lmao

imagine you have to watch 5 ads for a gek bar just to use pulse drive

[tranquil edge]

Yo ahh can't pulse drive to escape a fight, unless you watch an ad (you already died 5 seconds after the ad began)

[young anchor]

Indeed, we need so much more combat

[tranquil edge]

Ehh tbh we got some new ground combat encounters this year, ground combat just needs some QoL/new mechanics/mechanic revamps tbh

[sinful flume]

nms with the combat of metroid would be so good

[keen cairn]

yeah theground combat encounters are good but its way too easy if your playing on normal and its also very plain and boring there's no reason to fear it but also no reason to even get in it in the first place unless you have to

[celest stirrup]

You guys think there's any possibility of hello games adding a constructible Corvette landing pad?

Or perhaps custom landing pads? Could add a sorta "sigil" or something to a constructed object and that object becomes a landing zone

[strange robin]

can you not add the base construction landing pad?

[celest stirrup]

Sure but you can't land a Corvette on it

[viral creek]

I think its possible they will add something eventually even if its just a point to load in and hover over.
Some modded corvettes are still going to have issues since they are so big and maybe they are going to limit that issue first.

[young anchor]

It would be cool if their was a chance that if you go through a black hole you would just die

[native wave]

It used to be that going through a black hole trashes all your equipment and ship. The fact they removed it means this feature will most likely not appear. Though it would make the universe a bit more scientifically accurate

[young anchor]

:/ they should at least add that their is a chance a child of helio baby would spawn within your ship and you'd have to kinda shove it out

[sinful flume]

change the name of them to wormholes and add actual black holes

which damage equipment

but they also do something very useful

maybe they could be like the gas giant systems

[obsidian gale]

Or they lead to some trippy other dimension like the Realm of Glass, a la Interstellar

There'd be an extremely high bar to entry but once you get past it and possess a way to endure the black hole you'd have a whole new world opened up to you

[sinful flume]

yess

or get to a distorted version of existing systems

or some 4th dimensional stuff

idk

[granite cosmos]

Since we got Atlas corvette parts
It would only make sense that we should get crystalline Atlantid corvette parts

[neat halo]

The corvette building system could use a little polishing up, like it would be nice to "build" my corvette first to see what I need and how those items all look together, and then in the same kind of way you build stuff in The Forest, you slowly add to the final product and then it becomes useable.

Not a super huge fan of having to hope the parts I buy/trade are gonna look okay prior to seeing what they fully look like compared to a picture.

[outer dome]

Something like how the Corvette docks outside the freighter hangar

[celest stirrup]

Exactly

[sinful flume]

sentinel parts would be cool

[sinful flume]

and being able to place stuff diagonally

and more building freedom in general

[young anchor]

What happens when I go through a relic gate

[sinful flume]

teleports you to another system

I think they should overhaul flying

like adding space races

and adding upgrades to make corvettes faster

and not just improve mobility

[young anchor]

Lowkey that makes relic gates absolutely useless

[young anchor]

I love that idea

[sinful flume]

nah they are cool

[young anchor]

Just find a blackhole

[sinful flume]

im pretty sure they work differently

as in warp longer distances

but idk tbh

also I NEED more cockpits for corvettes

3 is nowhere near enough

[young anchor]

I went through one and all it did was warp me 500k whike black holes warp me at least 500k to 1M, they should make it that relic gates teleport you to even rarer space anomaly:/

3 is wild

We need sentinals that are bigger and badder then walkers

:<

[sinful flume]

yess

giant sentinel worms

like the destroyer from terraria

[young anchor]

YES

[polar egret]

Settlements are pointless at the moment. Lots of investment for no payoff. It's a real shame because I like the settlement management system. I feel pride when I get the debt to 0 but I don't really get anything for it

[polar egret]

We should be able to have conversations with NPC’s. Not dynamic conversations but if you know the correct words, you should at least be able to speak in full sentences to the NPC’s instead of one word phrases.

And maybe have potential reactionary phrases towards the NPC’s greetings if we have enough words in our vocabulary, like telling an arrogant Vy’keen that they couldn’t kill a sentinel repair unit

[grave jasper]

Now hear me out

A walkman
Like mgsv
You can have that item in ur inventory and whatever songs you have downloaded you can play it in game as you are exploring worlds

Ik its possible to achieve that using spotify and a speaker but an ingame option would be cool

[oblique smelt]

We have it. But not for spotify but for bytebit.

[grave jasper]

Bytebit works like mgsv walkman?

I can upload my own music?

I thought bytebit was only limited to corvettes
It can be used anywhere ?

[oblique smelt]

U can make own music

[grave jasper]

Ooo
I was thinking more on the lines of

Me flying around in my corvette fighting sentinel ships while black sabbath plays in the bg

Or interstellar theme plays when im randomly jumping systems

[obsidian gale]

Radio stations that your ship's transmitter could tune into could be a nice middle ground

They'd vary on system to system or maybe region to region and would play a variety of procgen music, or maybe have a chance of having a "talk show" on where it's music at the start then the speaking noises of some aliens, then music as it ends

Bc while a walkman would be cool on PC (and it'd work without a hitch I thinks) idk how that'd pan out on console

Idk how you'd get a song onto your Xbox or wtv to then send it to NMS to use as a walkman track

Presumably the same issue with switch and PlayStation would come up

[lavish furnace]

Why NMS showing everything what best he have in expeditions but in normal game it have nothing beter that he show in expeditions

Its great looking for something unique but really there is nohing more

[nocturne ruin]

I agree with batzy, some Kind of Radio would be nice, or a frequency to tune in to with Just distorted Radio Chatter (Like the freighter frequencies) Just for some more worldbuilding

[mortal laurel]

I wish we could spawn NPCs on planetary bases like they do in freighters

[cerulean sage]

Imagine we could put photos we shot in photo mode down like decals

[sinful flume]

having different weapon sounds for different ships would be sick

and a sound overhaul in general for ships and weapons would be so cool

and more flight stuff

like space races

and erm

[lone shale]

they should add a feature where you can display your companions or wonders(fauna only) in an enclosure

[tranquil edge]

zoo potential i see

[lone shale]

yes

[tough hazel]

Closest I can get is the following combination:

1. Specialists (I have to go reactivate them if I want to move them from base to base, sadly they do not auto-activate based on my presence)
2. Settlements (Build base in/next to settlement to see more people walking around)
3. Landing Pads (put them everywhere, and it gathers NPCs).
4. Hired Pilots (I may be mistaken, but I swore I saw my own pilots walking around my settlement).

I have not found any other good ways yet, but it would be great to have more 'people' 🙂

[sinful flume]

fr

[turbid scroll]

And also add aquariums as well. They would be for underwater creatures.
It would be funny to see a colossal squid or nautilus in a tiny aquarium.

[tough hazel]

I put a picture in #nms-photomode-gallery , is that what you mean?

[tough hazel]

#nms-photomode-gallery

[turbid scroll]

I think he means in-game

[turbid scroll]

Also glass floors/ceilings for corvettes would be cool.

[lone shale]

That’s smart, what if you could put in the fish that you catch from the traps since normal ones are untamable?

[vocal relic]

At the risk of sounding greedy, will ruin excavation sites ever have more than one layout?

I’ve memorized where all the keys are

[vocal relic]

Ah, at least it’ll be easy

[shadow dagger]

They did originally but it was removed

[vocal relic]

Oh

[turbid scroll]

Very ambitious update idea: Terraforming.
The idea is simple: you can manipulate planet environments to your will, but it is very time-consuming to do so.

oh nice
familiar role

[celest stirrup]

You think hello games will ever add lava? We already have water, just take that, slow the sink rate, make it kill you.

And of course make it look like lava

I've got a billion ideas for no man's sky, lol.

We could have mega geobays for large craft like ground based mobile bases. Something like the Corvette but on wheels.

We could build custom exocrafts like the Corvette or starship system.

Turrets for settlements, as well as player controlled turrets in corvettes.

Giant custom drydocks in space for the freighter to dock in which could lead to Corvette-style freighter construction, a place to showcase different corvettes at once like the ship bay aboard the freighter.

Different type of asteroids that you have to mine with a multi-tool so we can have an excuse to actually use the space walking.

I could go on and on

[celest stirrup]

This could be an interesting idea:

A type of structure you can make where you begin a long process of changing the entire world type.

Could feed it several different types of resources that determine the eventual environment it creates.

Could turn a toxic world into a frozen one, or if it has water, perhaps make it a paradise planet

[sinful flume]

better air/space combat would be cool

and different types of space stations

[sinful flume]

the freighter construction would be sick

[urban timber]

Theres lava on volcanic worlds

[celest stirrup]

I've never seen lava in this game

Fire all over the place, yes but no actual liquid lava

[urban timber]

Liquid lava wouldnt act how you think it would

Lots of lava you could probably stand on (a very bad idea)

[shadow dagger]

Unlikely that they'll ever add oceans of lava

imagine you have an underwater base that becomes an under-lava base because of an update

But there is lava in the volcanos. If you jump in you'll burn to death, if I remember right

[celest stirrup]

Realistically, the consistency of the lava depends on how hot it is. The hotter it gets, the more liquidy it is

[sinful flume]

we NEED more cockpits for corvettes

specifically longer ones

the sort you see on jet planes

[short flume]

Oh on that are there wider wings or do you just need to be creative on that end?

[sinful flume]

need to be creative 😭

making wings is fine right now though

actually idk

we need something more flat

for thinner wings

[short flume]

ye i was mainly thinking of a wider wingspan wing type, if that makes sense? I'm sure I can do it with normal parts though I think

[sinful flume]

yeah probably

[short flume]

oh yeah a minotaur sprint/dash would be fire, at least so the speed difference between the jetpack and regular walking isn't nearly as jarring

[sinful flume]

there should be a proper way to reduce the flight assist

cause like I should be able to fly upside down right above the ocean

and crash into hills

also crashing isnt very good

I get it would be alot harder if it was more realistic but

its a bit weird just bouncing off whatever you crash into

oh and make corvettes faster

[tough hazel]

My one concern here is: By the time the terrain loads up, and the atmosphere turns visible, I've hit the ground. Fortunately my ship bounces ^.^

[oblique smelt]

Upgradeable storage containers when.

[gusty kite]

HELLO GAMES! GIVE ME A HALO MAMMOTH IN NMS... AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[celest stirrup]

Modular multi-tools? I know we have the staff but I mean other multi-tools. Different barrels, handles, firing mechanisms, ect.

[gloomy hazel]

Overhaul the pvp system plz, wouldn't be very hard to make it fun

Just give us a single galaxy

[oblique smelt]

Pvp eeew

[sinful flume]

yess

[sinful flume]

nah that would make multi tool hunting kind of pointless

[gloomy hazel]

You don't have to do it, no reason to not have it

[celest stirrup]

Ship construction didn't make ship hunting pointless. Just copy that same mechanic over for multi-tools where you can sacrifice multi tools to get a part from it

Then use those to build a new one

[sinful flume]

i guess

changing the colors would be really nice

[dapper bough]

Would be cool from a cosmetic standpoint but from a mechanical standpoint it would be kinda useless. Yes I understand that different multi tool types are better at different things but two different types of multi tools can basically do the same exact stuff just as well once they are maxed out.

There would have to be way more distinction with multi tools than there is now if they were to have any depth remotely close to corvettes

[weary acorn]

a single player extra game mode where it's like a strategy civilisation building game

[urban timber]

I wish nms could, but it just isnt designed for something like that

[icy bay]

In the future, it will be No Man's sky.

[half niche]

i'm guessing this is as close to a suggestions page as there is so i wanted to ask if anyone had considered adding a supercharged modification vendor to the anomaly? if it charged say 10.000 Quicksilver to move one SC slot (tool/ship/suit) it would give end game players a reason to spend their QC and encourage more people to run weekly quests instead of just adding community awards (which could be done as-well).

[vast wave]

!hg

[misty iris]

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

[sinful flume]

I have a really good idea

what if

there was missions where

you used a corvette

to pick up cargo boxes and drop them off at different systems or places

and the more damage you take the less of a reward you get

and obviously you would get hunted by pirates or sentinels

[finite dragon]

Idk with how open this game is about modding, pvp would suck I think

[tough hazel]

If I can turn off PvP so i'm not part of it, it is fine with me, and others have fun. But not sure if HG wants to spend time on that if not enough people would use it.

[sinful flume]

well they could just make combat in general better

[tough hazel]

True, but me, I'm here for the peaceful experience so would avoid where possible. I like to sit in my settlement and enjoy the view ^^

[languid tapir]

100% agree, this game is better without PVP, sometimes when people put bases on the starhip coords, thats the only time i wish this game has better PVP

[sinful flume]

it would be good if they expanded on it though for the people that would like it

cause for me i think it would be good

[languid tapir]

fair

[sinful flume]

im so confused on why mouse mode still doesn't do anything in nms

they could atleast let us use it in the menus

using motion controls to fly ships would be cool too

[feral crest]

I hope they add steam workshop content one day, I'd love for someone to make custom item icons, since the game reuses some icons over and over

[clever junco]

So much many text boxes in this game and so little lore

[urban timber]

Little!?

Did you read the text boxes?

[clever junco]

Three civilizations have been around for millennia. There is one historical event for each of them, and it's basically the same one.

Randomly generated meaningless ships logs don't count as lore

The only interesting lore figures are Atlantid and Atlas, (and Null so long as you are reading a wiki page rather than interacting with him in game)

Rarest ships in the game: exotic and living. Nothing.

The only lore is explained in four sentences. 1) Atlas sim 16 2) first spawn 3) Atlantid korvax 4) iterations and you.

IMO

[sinful flume]

we need more very rare items/ships

cause rn the rarest ships are the exotic ones and they are still not that hard to find

[haughty seal]

Bigger limit for parts, on ships

[tough hazel]

I started reading the text boxes from Freighter expeditions, they can be funny sometimes.

[viral creek]

For all we know they could be adding lore crumbs with each update.

[feral crest]

I really hope they address the bugginess of multiplayer soon

Tried playing with a friend recently, they saw completely different things on their screen compared to me.

[urban timber]

This essentially confirms to me that you either havent read the lore entries, or havent found them and assumed that what you got in the main questline was all there is. Games like this dont have an entire channel dedicated to lore apart from the spoilers because there's "so little lore." If youre having trouble finding it, ask for help, a lot of it is out of the way, but dont assume there is little because you happened to not have found it

[clever junco]

You got me I skip dialogue

[urban timber]

See, thats fine, even if I disagree with doing so, but if youre gonna criticize the lore, at least read it first, lol

[viral creek]

Are those boundary failure buildings uncommon?
They seem to have some bits with them but haven't looked too hard for them either.

[urban timber]

Uncommon in that their spawn conditions are rather specific, but youd probably be able to find enough to fill out their logs on a single planet with enough searching

[pallid ruin]

multiple frieghters

i wanna warp into a abandoned system with 4 Capital freighters and 70 frigates

also those cargo pod things you see in npc freighter fleets

[tawdry sentinel]

you can go over it with base builder editor or blender but it takes a long time to load or render in

The addition of Incremental move, offset, rotate tools in native Station Corvette Editor to turn glitch building into a fully integrated building system without the need for blender or base builder app.

[sinful flume]

yess

[slender yew]

I honestly wished those walking Exocrafts we got able to fly in space and fight some eldritch horrors or some stuff. Customize them to look like gundam or able to morph like mecha break.

or it's already in the game and i'm not aware of it

Better yet, lemme pilot those Frigates/Freighters or command them to attack what I want

[urban timber]

So, frigates I could see being a hypothetical thing, but not freighters. Even the smallest freighter is like a kilometer long, and most freighters are much longer than that

[cerulean oriole]

I could see them adding something like bridges and the ability to fly to planets within a system via a method similar to the corvettes autopilot to frigates and maybe freighters as a way to travel around the system.

[keen sable]

What if NMS have an update related to underground and digging

• Now you can dig on way to mantle, outer core and inner core center of planet to access new minerals and compounds that are only found in mantle and core but you will need heat resistance upgrade for your exosuit to prevent burning and stronger drill required to able break mantle
• New Europa-type planet with life only exist below surface called subglacial life, At surface and atmosphere it's barren and lifeless and you can dig down and dive with submarine to search flora and fauna underwater below surface, it's sort like water planet but water at top sea level is frozen into ice instead
• New Underworld-type planet with life only exist below surface called subcavern life, At surface and atmosphere it's barren and lifeless and you can dig down to search flora and fauna underground below surface, the caves will be really large sort like Nether from Minecraft

[sinful flume]

wait this is a sick idea

[turbid scroll]

Idea: Inverted corner corvette pieces.

[urban timber]

Im torn on the idea of such pieces

On one hand, it would make shaping so much easier, but on the other, inverted corners would take up an entire grid space just on their own

[sinful flume]

YES

that would make my milano look so much smoother

im so confused on how mouse mode isnt a thing on nms for switch 2

at least for the inventory cursor

[fossil hedge]

Honestly community ideas like this are what helps NMS, and it’s cool that Hello Games actually listens to community feedback

[oblique smelt]

Keep in mind the engine limitations when forming the idea. No use asking for things if the idea is far beyond of game engine reach.

[viral creek]

They do seem to have made a bunch of changes to the engine so some things may eventually be possible but not sure if it is a priority.

[tranquil edge]

I love how close Hello Games is to their community, these small devteams that do stuff like posting community-made stuff are 100% the best devteams on the planet

Anyways yet another corvette idea, outdoor pieces such as flat platforms/floors to walk outside, railing and doors (ik we can already sort of do that, but what about parts specifically designed for this use)

Would make building lived-in corvettes easier and funner

[muted sierra]

I hope they keep adding new corvette parts with different looks. Especially new cockpits and weapon components.

[tranquil edge]

New weapon parts you say...
What about those huge beams of doom on pirate freighters-

[muted sierra]

I was thinking more on the cosmetic side like different shaped guns that attach different ways, but I like where your head’s at too.

[tranquil edge]

I just got another random ahh weapon idea
What about some kind of grapple or something that tethers starships, allowing us to pull them towards us

I also imagine this being used to fling ourselves using asteroids, could be fun

[muted sierra]

How about an update that creates shipyards, where we can build and dock freighters?

[tranquil edge]

Build freighters...? I don't want to imagine the amount of resources needed sob

[oblique smelt]

Freighter too big for dock on planet. But maybe update to space station that adds space port

[tranquil edge]

Meanwhile freighters being bigger than stations:

Tho we could have those kinds of drydocks/shipyards for corvettes instead

[oblique smelt]

Its more about game engine resources.

[tranquil edge]

Mmh... feels like yet another update that Switch 1 won't be able to have

(ptsd from crashing whenever a freighter spawned)

[oblique smelt]

More money sinks is good imo. More ways to waste our bilions.

[fossil hedge]

It’s great, I’ve played a variety of games from different companies but none have the same community No Man’s Sky does

[oblique smelt]

Thats why i was thinking about space station instead of planet surface port. Where game needs resources to render planet + freighter +base etc

[tranquil edge]

I'll be honest here, I don't recall seeing a single toxic nms fan

Like I saw some youtuber who just began nms falling to a bait and accidentaly leaking his cords in photomode, the guy who used the cords didn't attack/kidnap him or anything but helped him out and gave resources

[oblique smelt]

Oooooh i can be toxic about all the nms flaws.

[tranquil edge]

No but like I meant toxic between eachother

[oblique smelt]

Bc its not a pvp game. No leaderboards. Nothing that u can truly flex about.

[tranquil edge]

Going back on topic, I could see an update to revamp exocrafts

[oblique smelt]

Trolls and griefers happen sometimes tho

[tranquil edge]

There's a game I play in which kills really don't give much and aren't counted, yet I keep seeing people jump others on sight just because yes

[oblique smelt]

More storage /tech slots at least

[tranquil edge]

Or just more technology/customization (especially visual) to make exocrafts of the same class more unique (a bit like how the Minotaur can have different looks, customizable arm weaponry, etc.)

Like yknow the dude has that one sentinel mech skin, the liquidator skin, etc

[fossil hedge]

I think he means toxic to other players which is true, I just hopped in one of the servers last night and there were two guys I never knew before who were playing NMS, and instead of getting mad at the game and being toxic, they just showed me like the coolest stuff ever

[tranquil edge]

Yeah I've only seen NMS players being nice/friendly/cooperative to eachother

(been playing on PC since recently tho, since I've been a Switch player for a while so idrk the community that well...)

[oblique smelt]

Bc game dont give any reason or motive to be toxic. Nothing to fight over for.

[tranquil edge]

I've seen some games with actual other content than pvp and not much to get from pvping, but people were just mauling eachother on sight just because the game had pvp

With that said, ima just stay on "the community is really nice imo"

[fossil hedge]

Yeah the game is a big part of that, there’s literally no reason to be mad at another player

[oblique smelt]

Nms has pvp. But nothing to fight over . There is not even kill count.

Cant steal loot

Nms pvp is more like asg matches

[fossil hedge]

Like it’s not a competition at all, I mean even if someone claims a planet you wanted, there’s 18 quintillion of them so just go to a different one

[oblique smelt]

One of nicest game community there are. It was nominated few times for best community game

[fossil hedge]

It winning best ongoing game at the awards was so deserved

Hello Games earned that

[oblique smelt]

With hard work

[fossil hedge]

Yeah I mean it went from being hated by 90% of gamers to being loved by anybody that loves exploration games

[tranquil edge]

Speak about hard work and resilience

Going from one of the worst releases in gaming history to this masterpiece

Anyways shouldn't we stay on topic-
(ptsd from getting constantly moderated for offtopicing in another server)

[fossil hedge]

Yeah this is top 3 best game turnarounds ever

This chat is supposed to be about the future of the game?

I didn’t read that until now mb

[muted sierra]

Yeah I envisioned a floating spaceport. Adding it to existing space stations makes sense

[oblique smelt]

Space station needs more features

It has many sealed off doors.

[kindred coral]

Yeah a full space station would be cool

[oblique smelt]

2floor specialy

[muted sierra]

I remember the early days when all space stations resembled the abandoned stations

[tranquil edge]

They should update the pirate stations to have the same looks/structure as the new stations

New stations got a full overhaul but not pirate/abandoned ones

[oblique smelt]

More random welded scrap to it

Maybe derelict freighter wrecks

[cerulean sage]

I also wish space station could maybe have some varying internal layouts

[tranquil edge]

Ooo wait I didn't think of that possible corellation between abandoned and pirate ones

• it still hints at those stations being abandoned before the update

Yeah when you think abt it that way it makes it way cooler

I never noticed wow

[oblique smelt]

Pirate station are not connected to atlas network so it has sense they they dont actualise/update

[tranquil edge]

The idea of pirate stations being repurposed abandoned stations with restored and hacked cores is actually sick

[oblique smelt]

There is more too that if u look closer. Pirates also got walkers on station and what walker drops? Brains. So imo station core also has brain of some sort that they use to hack the station and use it.

[gloomy hazel]

But this is slowly becoming a lore convo so imma have to stop now

[tranquil edge]

Noticed the walkers ut didn't make the link

Wow allat stuff really makes me want to look at every single detail in this game, there's so many "easter eggs" or links to make

HG really did a good jo

[oblique smelt]

Im saying that pirates needed the walker brains for something to make the station work.

[tranquil edge]

Yeah, I said I already saw the walkers being there but never thought about the reasons they were there

(btw my b key works 75% of the time so if you see a weird word like my "ut" or "jo" earlier just try to figure it out sorry lol)

[copper aspen]

Hi guys , newly joined nms few days back , earlier i was able to teleport from pirate space station to other pirate stations as well as to my settlement , but now i just keep getting clearance not granted , please let me know if anyone has any idea how to fix this

[tranquil edge]

I think the Clearance not granted is normal (if I remember correctly you're not able to tp from normal stations to pirates and vice versa)

Also I don't want to minimod but this is for discussing nms' future and updates, please ask your questions in #no-mans-sky :) (I can't rly be talking tho, did it earlier sob)

[cerulean sage]

Or in #nms-questions lol

[tranquil edge]

...that exists?

(i'm slightly dumb)

[native wave]

yes, yes it does

under No Man's Sky Support

[tranquil edge]

Just saw it I'm just blind

[sinful flume]

fr

ultra rare variants would be cool

cause rn they all mostly look the same

oui oui

ringworlds would be cool

but idk how it would fit into the lore

but ig that shouldn't matter much cause how do those exotic planets fit into the lore

[urban timber]

They definitely fit

For ringworlds, do you mean like the halos?

[sinful flume]

idk

wdym

like from halo?

no

not artificial ringworlds

[sinful flume]

but how

[urban timber]

...what? Literally all ringworlds are artificial

[urban timber]

Glitch

[sinful flume]

but it could also be a glitch planet

idk

I just think different planet shapes would be cool

they would obviously be very rare though

[urban timber]

Planets that arent mostly spherical would be very strange. Ive played a space game that has such planets, and it gets wonky near edges of anything

[sinful flume]

I guess

but if they do make them work it would be cool

[turbid scroll]

Three things I want:

1. Inverted corner + edge pieces for corvettes
2. Larger corvette rooms
3. Asteroid update

[sinful flume]

corner pieces would be so nice

[jade rune]

I would seriously love to have the ability to make my own space station

[sinful flume]

same

or dry docks

my three things I would like to see would probably be:
1.actual black holes
2.improved flight
3.improved combat

[jade rune]

Wait wait wait

We have the uh

Minotaur

Buuut

[sinful flume]

imma just

let that sink in

[jade rune]

I would like to see fully buildable mechs, kinda like the corvettes

[jade rune]

Thank you, my new host

[sinful flume]

its not that needed but it would be cool

[jade rune]

Yeh

Or like, actually being able to terraform planets

Like making an empty planet a paradise planet

[sinful flume]

hmmmmm

idk cause

if you could basically make a perfect planet

then what's the point of exploring

[jade rune]

Seeing new sights and what I ment is making one planet into another kind of planet

But you don't control all of it

[sinful flume]

but like

I guess

[jade rune]

Like the terrain or fauna or animals

[sinful flume]

or being able to exterminate fauna from planets

[jade rune]

Yeah

Ooo

Or building little robot helpers

Or like....a mail system

[sinful flume]

mail would be a good addition

[rugged crown]

2 things I's like to see
1 - The ability to pay off a settlement debt
2 - I would love to be able to restore abandoned space stations and decide if they will be pirate or standard.

Obviously making a space station would be material intensive and time consuming, like days between each step in the creation

[low hazel]

3 things i wannt in the game

1. city planets

2. big space wars betwen geks korvax and vykes

3. more automation

[feral crest]

Multiplayer outside of the anomaly is Hella buggy, I wish they'd address that first

[finite dragon]

YES or just civilizations ig, larger "towns"

[keen sable]

Since we got all star colors but not white one

White Star System with A type class which is between yellow (G-F) and blue (B-O) and planets orbiting white star will be

• Europa-like planets with life under ice layer
• Multibiomes planets
• Ice giants

Exclusive resource tied to only white star system would be Opal (Op) and Activited Opal (Op+)

To unlock white star system you will need to finish new Hermes path questline after you finished Altas and Artemis path questlines and you will also need new drive

[oblique smelt]

White is used for galaxy map filter

[oblique smelt]

We have ice giants

[keen sable]

Those are gas giants not ice giants

[red pumice]

I think it would be cool to build trade empires that utilize our settlement and own a couple of system freighter for trade routes to other sectors, a mini game would be pirates attack our trade routs. just an idea

[oblique smelt]

We have giant planets that are not gas giants

[keen sable]

if you mean giant snowy or icy biome planet that's not i wanted,

when i say Ice giants i'm referring to Neptune and Uranus

[native wave]

but aren't both of them gas giants as well?

oh I looked it up, now I understand

but from a gameplay perspective, what value would they add?

I am intrigued

[keen sable]

Theres many different types than just Rocky planet and Gas giant

[native wave]

I understand that, but from a gameplay perspective how would it differ?

[visual cliff]

please hello games. now what you have done with this game is something special and truly shows how hard you've been working. but id love and I'm sure many others would love a update on base building. walls that should easily be placed in a spot wont go in that spot so i need to learn how to glitch build to put a wall on a floor platform. stairs that can attach to each other making for non use of glitch and free placement to get it connected kinda. just would be amazing to build without the need of all these glitches. allow for scaling on new objects. rotation on new objects that I feel dont do any harm having that available for them. thank you again for all the work but please something on building

as such why does it do this

[urban timber]

Is there a wall below the one on the left?

[visual cliff]

no. I placed one tried. removed it and tried. made more floors and tried and everything I did this kept happening

[urban timber]

Place the specific variant you want instead

[granite cosmos]

The build mechanics can get very iffy
Trying to find the right snap spot can get difficult because there is no limit to how far away it wants to snap to
You can look at the exact spot you want but it'll snap to all available other spots before the one you want sometimes
I hope they'll tweak a few things one day, or at least make it better in LNF

[naive tartan]

killzone and other space game crossovers would be epic. like they did with normandy

[warm cliff]

once we get enough redux expeditions, we should make one called just "Redux" where each milestone is from one of the previous redux expeditions

[sinful flume]

and it gives a starship which is just a weird mix of all the expedition starships

[lunar briar]

I want to build freighters like I can build starships, more diverse crashed freighters, more varied freighters, freighter fleets, maybe even dungeons designed around crashed freighters on planets

[midnight lynx]

Will we finally be able to build below the ground level without the terrain regenerating back?

[nocturne maple]

I WOULD LIKE MORE GUN TYPES

MORE GUN TYPES IS ALWAYS GOOD

[keen jungle]

I WOULD LIKE MORE SHIP TYPES
MORE SHIP TYPES IS ALWAYS GOOD

[oblique smelt]

I WOULD LIKE MORE MECH ANIMALS. MORE MECH ANIMALS IS ALWAYS GOOD

[cerulean sage]

I WOULD LIKE MORE ROOM SIZES FOR CORVETTES
MORE ROOM SIZES FOR CORVETTES IS ALWAYS GOOD

[oblique smelt]

I WOULD LIKE LIVING FREIGHTERS. MORE LIVING VESELS IS ALWAYS GOOD .

[true venture]

I WOULD LIKE MORE KINDS OF DREADNOUGHTS. MORE DREADNOUGHTS IS ALWAYS GOOD

[sinful flume]

I WOULD LIKE EXOCRAFT GEOBAY CORVETTE MODULE.MORE CORVETTE MODULES IS ALWAYS GOOD

[turbid scroll]

I WOULD LIKE TERRAFORMING. MORE WAITING IS ALWAYS GOOD
ALSO I WANT TO CREATE A 919 RAD PLANET

[native wave]

Yoo stop shouting 😂😂

[slate fjord]

...not shouting is always good

[lapis plover]

I WANT THE ATLAS TO BE

PURPLE🤔🤔

I AM GOING TO TRY PAINTING THE ATLAS PURLLE

AND TURNING THE RED PURPLE

I WILL COME BACK AND TELL YOU IF IT WORKED

[fossil prism]

I WOULD LIKE MORE STORY
MORE STORY IS ALWAYS GOOD

[sinful flume]

I WOULD LIKE BETTER FLIGHT
BETTER FLIGHT IS ALWAYS GOOD

[warm cliff]

I THINK IF YOU'RE IN SPACE NEAR A PLANET AND YOU PRESS THE CORVETTE BEAM DOWN BUTTON IT SHOULD DO THE BEAMING ANIMATION FROM STARBOUND
MORE REFERENCES IS ALWAYS GOOD

[warm cliff]

joking cause it'd be inconsistent with the normal teleportation tunnel animation

[distant osprey]

begging for them to update base snapping. its been a nightmare to deal with for years 😭

cant put parts in snap locations directly infront of you because theyd rather go to snap locations 50 feet away like okay

[sinful flume]

they should improve the ai for the pirates/sentinels cause rn dogfights feel so slow because most of the time the enemies just go around in circles or just stay hovering

[sinful flume]

different sounds for each ship would be cool too

[urban timber]

I definitely feel you, but I almost dont want the snapping system to be updated because then it could break all the techniques I've learned to force it to my bidding

[lunar briar]

Adding to this I wish they'd fix the bug where if you're inside a large player made base the game still thinks you're outside.

[lunar briar]

Id also like them to optimize bases for other players, if me and my friend want to build a base together the game should be able to cooperate, but once my friend places a base and we log off for the day the terrain regenerates and messes everything up

[ivory zealot]

Perhaps something that makes it where you can build your own artifacts like you can with the fossils update a while back

Maybe some figurines, statues, slabs, or murals just to name a few. Perhaps add one where its mass-scale artifacts where you got to find big artifact pieces to build something like space stonehenge or recreation of a ritual site

Would also be cool if they expanded a bit into there being the corvette equivalent of exocraft - more notably the aquatic variety if they expand into their being aggressive marine life so you and you're buddies can pull some subnautica nonsense together in NMS on a large submarine deep in the pitch blackness of an ocean

[sinful flume]

yes that would be sick

and it can get damaged

and implode or smth

imagine if one of your friends just shoots his multitool by accident

I want some ships to have special features like

thrust vectoring or smth

[ivory zealot]

It'd also be cool if something akin to animal enclosure things were available. Like, we have the aquarium as a base decorative option - why not have one where we can put the fish we catch in them? It'd also be cool if there was an update that added, like, museum-esque or zoo-like pieces and stuff you could. Such as having enclosures with animals you found on a planet that don't despawn (the thing being that they're autonomously cared for by AI in the enclosure) or have it a holographic depiction of the lifeform in its natural habitat (this being unlocked when the player/Traveler scans enough of the planet's environment to recreate a replica of it. Like, if that was added you could have a holographic model of the creature(s) in a pose of your choice, maybe even make it where other players are able to scan or read the information on the lifeform via their scanner

[sinful flume]

yeah I've always thought its weird you cant like keep your pets or discovered creatures in your base or smth

[shadow dagger]

I'd much rather put fish that I discover in an aquarium than ones that I catch, because those are actually unique.

But really, the wonder projector system is like 80% of the work done, they just need to make a version where the projected creature still has the AI attached and original shaders and we could easily build any sort of animal enclosure

[ivory zealot]

Well most of those are rather big, and would fit more with the holographic "enclosure-display" rather than an aquarium. When I say "aquarium", I'm talking something akin to the small aquarium or the Alien Containment in Subnautica. Maybe have something where a solid replica model of the critter could be made and placed somewhere, sort of like those whale skeletons/models you'd see in a natural history museum

[shadow dagger]

oh, I see what you mean. Something small enough to fit in a small base or corvette. I totally see the appeal of that too

[ivory zealot]

Like, I'm certain a tank for the giant squid critters would be rather difficult to realistically attain without looking "off" imo. So, like, a holographic model of it in its habitat with a static model of it nearby to showcase the actual size

Call this update the "Records Update" - providing an update to being how you can record and showcase your discoveries with other players or your buddies

[tropic yacht]

I agree that the snapping would need updating etc but the ability to see how it would look without deleting hundreds of parts a whole base preview?

A storage update would be nice like a warehouse ship just for storage only you only get 9 storage crates need more then that....

[pliant galleon]

Since i always wanted to be evil when i first played nms.
Maybe Make so you can destroy planets or even Destroy space station to become the absolute Maniac/or Absolute Outlaw. Antagonizing NPC and Cause A massive extinct for fauna

[ivory zealot]

Feel like that’d be pushing it a little imo

[ivory zealot]

There needs to be a fix to the trade rocket - cause I'm tired of it getting stuck on the planet surface because it went at an odd angle

[foggy geyser]

I desperately want the devs to add the gokai galleon to the game

[oblique smelt]

They dont do collabs much. In 9 years they only did mass effect. Imo try to build one yourself.

[ivory zealot]

Yooooo imagine if gauntlets were added as multi-tools you could find

[feral crest]

Idea: food blender
Put several consumables together into a "smoothie", the result having the effects of all ingredients but proportionally reduced.

E.g:, 50% heat resistance + 50% cold resistance = 25% heat and 25% cold resistance.

Allow smoothies to also be blended together, you could have a smoothie with every effect but only weakly

[tough hazel]

You know about 'Nutrient Processor'?

[tropic yacht]

Ok can anyone agree that 50 slots is not enough to store items? Storage containers etc 😑

[gloomy hazel]

Yes, and it becomes weirder when you consider that there are clearly more rows/slots which aren‘t unlocked for some reason.

[foggy geyser]

How would I build it a freighter a corvette or mod

[ivory zealot]

I think they mean combining the food together to get more than one boost from a food item. Like, sprint recharge and faster sprint speed in one food item

[wise mango]

So I am guessing we will have to wait to see what expeditions that will be re run in 2026?

[tough hazel]

Imagine the complexity of combining multiple food items together... i already need 72 nutrient processors to make two different items......

[woven root]

Every dot is a star in a galaxy right?

[cinder hemlock]

does anyone know where a paradise planet is at that you can invite me to your server so i can start making a base please and thank you!

[sinful flume]

idk abt star but its a system

[woven root]

What i meam every dot? U can go? Every star system? And its just 1 galaxy? Theres so many galaxy in the game right?

[sinful flume]

wdym?

on the galaxy map

each dot is a system

[woven root]

Ty

[tropic yacht]

@sinful flume @woven root this youtube video about real life galaxies but will explain how many there are... 🤔 this is just an educational explanation...

But it summed up NMS for me

https://youtu.be/7J_Ugp8ZB4E?si=8-tL09syzLUaa9Gs

[icy axle]

Hello travelers, I was thinking no man sky combat system need some love, wdys?

[icy axle]

It is a system, one system can have multiple stars, I stumbled on systems that have 3 stars

[sinful flume]

fr

atleast add aim down sights

[thorn iron]

Add the Remington 20 48 and lead slugs

[mint canyon]

You know, I imagine a game mode for custom games, like how we setup an ai custom game in RTS games like rise of nations or starcraft2 etc.

here, the map consists of a few systems,
your game starts with the starship,
the planets have more ai settlements with base defense and their own militia, where you can trade primarily,

then after building your base, some ai would like to join your base,
you expand your base, placing different version of base computers will attract more ai,
you'll have the option to conquer the entire planet, by either acquisition or battle, slowly build a system wide empire, trade routes,

at the same time, the main enemy ai are doing the same in another system,
while managing your territory, you run into random skirmishes, or your ai fleet runs into theirs, signaling that the enemy is expanding too,

the whole thing ending with you grabbing/destroying most of their territory under your command,

it's like an RTS game mode inside NMS

[paper coral]

What galaxies do you have access to, got a few in Calypso

[gloomy hazel]

Add a pvp system or a game mode where pvp is forced on all the time, ban people who use glitches and hacks. Please and ty

Game was super fun until I went into discord and everyone just told me to dupe this and that and boom, now progression doesn't matter and the game is dull. Make a system where it's not possible, with forced pvp.

[turbid scroll]

... maybe just play a pvp game?
this is not centred around pvp
-# but i think some civs do pvp tournaments

[feral crest]

I hope they increase the number of settlements you have oversee at a time

[gloomy hazel]

You didn‘t have to glitch…just set yourself the rule of keeping the save legit, or make up your own system for what you consider legit; this is what I did.

I do ocassionally save edit, but only in ways that have a legit basis, like for example giving me the exclusive expedition blueprints on my main save after having completed the respective expedition.

Or adding back old functions like scanning for wild base computers.

This is a sandbox, so you have to use your head and imagination to make this game thrive.

[mint canyon]

I guess if there were enough population, people could make their own faction wars within the game or something like that

[tough hazel]

Sometimes I feel: Everyone: More Battles!. Me: Cooking improvmeents? ^^;

[feral crest]

I'd like to see more base decorations

A steam workshop where users can upload custom decorations would be nice.

[wind thicket]

I'd love to see the Hud moved into the visor so you can turn it off & use the visor to see the Hud items.
Would be great especially in VR

[unreal ginkgo]

As someone that likes to plan a lot, I'd really appreciate if creative mode started you with all the ship parts credibly disappointing to find out it doesn't

[urban timber]

Very fair, though it is definitely easy to get them in creative

[serene brook]

i just need better color options

theyre all very bright and often come off as tacky tbh
