#nms-the-future
crimson stone
Origins is a new begining for them
does that means we are going to see 5 more years of updates???
visual cloak
who knows
i could see them taking a long break from NMS then surprising us with something big years later
visual cloak
they keep getting motivated by the community. you’re probably right
crimson stone
i dont really know what they can really add they added everything i wanted variation all that
i said it before but its the first year i really dont know how they still have ideas
i bet after origins they are like we can still go for 3 years lol
it has a HUGE potential
i think most of us know that
sean and the rest of the team knows it
but things take time to dev origins took 16 months to develop soo
bitter anchor
The potential is literally limitless, put in procedural generation it's just infinity upon infinity
crimson stone
i feel like we are finally starting to see what the engine can do since origins
soo if they said origins is a small addition
who says what they can do?
bitter anchor
Wonder if we could have melee weapons
crimson stone
well its always the debate if no man's sky should go the combat route now
or stay in this sorta exploration update origins started
bitter anchor
I'm more of a leisure guy than combat guy, but wouldn't hurt to find more ways to batter sentinels
crimson stone
for sure
i could see them drop some combat improvements here and there
like they did with living ships or exomech
where they added those sentinels missions for the nexus
Or even the desolation update
fallow ledge
I wish it was more open to community development for adding more content, more villages, towns, and intelligent life on planets
bitter anchor
Ain't that what's modding for
bitter anchor
But eh, I do want to see more villages, towns and intelligent life in the vanilla game
crimson stone
i mean they could have stoped from doing it but they sorta let it go
bitter anchor
More importantly, floating cities
We got bases in the oceans, on ground, why not in the sky
crimson stone
😒 i feel like i heard the word cities more than variation now
bitter anchor
Cities. More cities.
crimson stone
i guess we have our new variation
after the variation update its the city update
after the city update it will be the combat update
after the combat update.... underwater update?
then i think we could be done
bitter anchor
I wanted to suggest more alien species but that would ruin the storyline

A ranching update would be great, having the ability of keeping animals as livestock or pets, somewhat more advanced riding system, some animals having the ability to carry supplies. Some animals would be able to help in combat, while others would run at the first sight of danger. Breeding for certain traits, etc.
Raching/animal owning at least

I think building mode can get a revamp tho. "context aware" prefabs, so a single menu can place normal, and underwater, prefab parts. Snap point options for local teleporters inside prefabs, and adjacency snap points so that refiners can be visually chained neatly. A proper bump mode so objects can be placed when they intersect with a wall at the first position that isn't an error. and then a fine adjustment to allow them to slide around a single axis at a time.

It'll be glorious to see everyone chipping in damage, from the most experienced players with their fancy ships to early game players with their... mining beams

It would be cool, to be able to have encounters where multiple players can summon their frigates.
weekend events could consist of, say a planet with a sw style spanning shield. "orbital" nodes keep the planet shield up and players must work togeter to bring the shield down. some nodes are commercial and must be bought out (trade frigates), others defensive and need to be attacked. Others are alient and require scanning from science ships. and others are asteroids that need to be mined out with industrials.
when the shield is down, we can then access the mission on the surface.
gloomy hazel
lol i want orbital bombardment
sharp widget
pirates may attack your ships on their extended mission in the weekend event system. you can dock with them and repair them on the fly as normal so they depelete their assigned node at max efficiency.
and/or make your frigate fleet that you deploy a mix of combat and other ships.
the usual rules apply - the mission takes a max of 5 frigates of any kind or mix.

some upgrades, like the water ones should probably be baked into your base kit, to make water planets not terrible
halcyon mason
You know what would be great? Hydrophobic Hull upgrade for your ship, that lets you land on the surface of water, and freely hop in and out while it’s there
Landing gear stays retracted, and it gently bobs up and down as the waves roll against it
With this in the game, they really could make planets that are 100% covered in water, accessible to you if you have this upgrade to your ship

I want frigates to be more useful on general
As of now frigates are basically storage, that's it

I don't know if the NMS engine is capable of this... but the freighter should be a persistent map. So you can issue warp commands, and see the animation happen outside the windows. But, while the old system is unloaded and the new system is generated, you should be able to continue walking around the freighter.
halcyon mason
Other players being on board when this happens might make things tricky
sharp widget
Actually, this is why the persistent map idea is necessary. makes freighters more like the anomaly for other players. everyone can chill and move around and if the owner initiates a warp ... then the "warp" just covers up everyone pre-loading the new system. If someone leaves the freighter too early, then as they depart, they get a traditional warp animation. Basically - warping does nothing but change the exit system when you, or other players leave the freighter.
halcyon mason
I think what would be more likely, is that the hangar doors seal shut just before a warp is initiated, and a warp cannot be initiated if a player is inside their ship in the hangar
To prevent accidentally leaving just before the warp
Or accidentally boarding and getting basically stolen, lol
In addition, if a player is being drawn in, it will also not warp
[ Cannot Warp - Docking Procedure ]
The moment the owner enters the galaxy map, the hangar doors shut, everyone inside is committed to where they choose.
The other players might even hear a soft alarm playing throughout the freighter while the owner is in the map, letting them know that warp is about to commence
Would be cool to see happen too. Everyone’s on board, discussing where they want to go, and then the owner heads to the map, the alarm sounds, everyone heads to the bridge and takes their seats, and off they all go

I want dangerous and elite pirates to actually use different weapons
Elites should use the ballista or ejector, and medium threat should at least use stuff other than the mining laser
Even if the tactics stay the same, having stronger or more varied weapons would make fighting them more challenging
Different tactics would make it more fun though. Shotgunners would be hyper aggressive and constantly try to stay right next to you, infra knife wielders would stay at long range acting like sniper turrets, ballista would try to stay to your side or behind you at a medium range, etc

They would have to rework AI pathing first, even small differences in terrain height confuse sentinels, and they still, STILL frequently spawn in the ground
halcyon mason
Here’s an easy suggestion though as far as combat... remove detection safe zones inside of pre-built buildings. Sentinels will still know you’re there, and in the case of manufacturing buildings, will follow you inside and actually attack. You need to defeat all the sentinels that saw you break open the door for detection to stop.
What’s the point of shooting open the door if you can lose them immediately after?

I'd like to see the game have logic that:
a. ensures that moons and stations don't get placed in a planets rings. and/or if they do, clears an exclusion zone around them.
b. uses the derelict freighter logic that despawns asteroids around derelicts, to also despawn asteroids around an anomoly, or player freighter spawn.
few things are as annoying as discovering, perhaps too late, you have a clipping issue with an asteroid in your freighters hangar bay, which prevents you getting back to your starship

Interspecies war? I like it

Yeah my vision of it is that faction specific bases and capital ships and battles would procedurally spawn with chance dependent on the system conflict level - and if the player chooses they may attack and destroy a certain faction’s bases/ships and once all wiped out the system would change hands - would be even cooler if you could sit back and watch the battle unfold and let it decide itself too

I'd like it if there were more money sinks that add new things to your proverbial toolbox rather than more powerful versions of your current things. The only thing I can really spend money on right now is getting an S-class multi-tool and freighter, but at that point I'm just spending money on trading my old stuff in for new stuff with longer stat bars and bigger numbers.
Of course, going from your starting red fighter to a turbodestroyer with more storage space than an Ikea is satisfying, but it's nothing to brag about in my honest opinion.

Would love more exploration. Planetside dungeons (copy paste derelict freighter basically), even more fauna, true sand deserts, Europa-esqe shell worlds with a biome or sea beneath the crust, and ofc being able to capture a small animal as a companion. Either just aesthetics or maybe different types have a small passive ability (gather small resources, attack predators, etc)
Like, true rewards for exploration that encourage you to get out of the ship and walk around. Hell, I remember when I was new to the game and getting hyped whenever I was stranded

Also why is the space so dirty ? and so colorful, Ive played the game for the first 20 mins and when I got to my ship and went to space, the first thing i do is look for mods that fixes this issue
Also whats the point of doing a 4 day long mission to get a ship that you cant install basic scanners(or alternative organs) on ?
The ship is great, the quest is great(thought the waiting time is too much) but when you get it, you cant upgrade its storage nor can you install basic necessities, wtf HG

The exosuit covers the entire body, of course you're going to feel worse in 56 degrees
Dirty in what way? If you're talking asteroids, that's the way it is, to get silver, gold, platinum, tritium and anomaly scanners more easily. I'm also there might be something behind the space colors but I'm just going to assume star colors
I kinda agree with the living ship, it's a bit too grindy to get and it's sort of worse than other S-class ships, but it looks cool. I am inclined to believe that living ships are just collectibles and not actually used for serious stuff

i've got 2 living ships. one is a bh/core warper, and only has tech/mods on the tech tab, so it's not really a full build. the second has a nearly complete build, and will have no free slots whatsoever when it's done. it's being setup for max hyperdrive range, as well as pulse boost speed and gaining back some maneuv.
a living ship, imo, isn't a ship for early game players that need an economy scanner because they still focus their searches in t3 systems to farm better gear. they're not just collectibles. they can warp as far as an exotic can, and can just as easily delete pirates. no other ship can travel to any star system color without any additional upgrades. no other ship can recharge its systems with regular, basic materials. its hyperdrive can be recharged with chromatic metal. it can use 6x, s-class, launch thruster upgrade mods, which no other ship has. my second LS will have no free slots at all, because i can afford it to do that - i've got plenty of storage elsewhere. i also don't need an economy scanner either, because all of my gear is already as good as it will need to be.
halcyon mason
I use an economy scanner to find good exotic hunting systems, and to locate a trading post as an immediate starting point when I land on a new planet
Aside from really scenic locations that I love the look of, I only ever start bases on existing structures, and trading posts are the easiest to find by far once you have that scanner
golden cobalt
i'm not trying to say.. i mean, sure, eco scanner makes it easy to find a building. but so do planetary charts, for example. i use them to find buildings a lot because its part of my strategy to more quickly find hotspots and base locations. additionally, eco scanner is useless if a player visits uncharted systems - which i know many don't, but that's not to say no one does. shouldn't have said anything about this i guess, most people don't understand my pov.
it's like people saying we need more combat stuff, it's needed for the longevity of the game; --kzzzt--- no it isn't

it would be way cooler if the special types of lifeless planets were kinda rare

ice planets too
just ice

me neither but like
make some things more rare
like you said, ringed planets
actually i think ringed planets are pretty common

I have a feeling multiplayer has gone as far as it’s going to go
Maybe a couple multiplayer missions here and there but
Anyway, Origins is a steppingstone and it’s probably the beginning of more planetary variation

I mean we could have multiplayer boss battles
Also as community goals
Maybe as a community you have to kill a giant worm that is attacking the anomaly

talking about fauna
icy thicket
Ohh
Fauna wasn't really meant for combat imho
I guess they kinda threw it there
More like a bonus than a feature
gleaming hornet
you should be able to interact with fauna more
and their behavior should be more complex and interesting

rn it's just
shoot
or scare them
or ride them

migrating animal should be seen migrating

My only update request is slightly more realistic effects. Like gravity is literally almost the same in every planet regardless of mass. More realistic lift off and take off mechanics. Atmosphere entry burns. Planet orbit pulls. Etc.

death worlds a la catachan would be in the wheelhouse of nms

bitter anchor
Hitboxes of really large plants should kinda be smoothed around it
viscid sable
Truly scary death planets would be cool for sure, and at the opposite end - it would be nice to see some truly colonised planets with some larger towns/cities forming - not on every planet but perhaps like a small-medium chance to generate based on the economy and conflict level of a system
Nothing huge but just a few more signs of civilisation would be nice when these sentient species are clearly very advanced
halcyon mason
Yeah I want planets that are you like “Oh you came alone? And unprepared? Cute.” and are just brutally harsh on hazard protection, with hostile creatures everywhere.
Says “LETHAL” above the hazpro bar and drains as fast as an extreme storm by default.
With “LETHAL STORM” draining even faster, and leaking into your suit if you dare to stay out in the open more than ten or so seconds
You basically HAVE to set up mining outposts and shelter yourself while you harvest deposits, you can’t just brute force it
It even leaks through the Minotaur and other exocraft with protection modules, though you have about 90 seconds before critical exposure
To make things more bearable, you have a new buildable, portable structure called a hazard shelter, which projects a big bubble shield that protects you from the environment, and is recharged with sodium or sodium nitrate
It only lasts a couple of minutes with each charge, but you are completely protected from environmental hazards while you’re standing inside the bubble, and can freely walk in and out of it
This new tool would be essential when setting up bases on these new, lethal planets
When landing on these planets, your suit guidance system straight up warns you, before even disembarking your ship, “WARNING: LETHAL HAZARD PLANET”

Just scrolling up while I love the origin content overall I don't think it 'adds' much more than a museum of content IMO, nothing major to actually do, and that I think goes for the 2020 realm of updates in general, multiplayer, graphics updates, bug fixes, new planets etc but not actual gameplay like Beyond added if that makes sense.
visual cloak
i don’t think Beyond is really comparable to Origins because what the game largely needed was an injection of more planetary variation. With that said, i feel there’s still much HG can do to improve planets and exploration. i feel there’s plenty of things to do in NMS, plenty of things to chase, and the real point of the game is to be able to land on a planet, start walking and wonder ‘what’s over that mountain over there?’.
i do have a feeling they will introduce some kind of planetary dungeon stuff like the derelict freighters, and i can also see them doing some more in-depth multiplayer missions fighting a bigger enemy.
gloomy hazel
Yup, I guess I love the base building, crafting stuff so anything that enhances what you can design on planets I think will go down well too. Well...with me at least hah
plucky lodge
I feel like we need base extension devices. Just because when people find hotspots it would be good to have the ability to easily expand your base, it wouldn’t be the whole radius, it could just be kind of a tunnel
Something called like “Hotspot Base extender”

Cant you just slap down a new base computer on the limits of a base and then keep going from there?
tardy wave
That makes a separate base, and you can’t connect pipes or wires between bases.
You can extend bases up to 2000u diameter with this method though. #nms-questions message

And also perhaps make the guilds feel more useful/powerful? Afaik all you can do is do missions for them and receive gifts from guild envoys but that seems to be all. Perhaps if you have enough standing with them you could like for example call in a mercenary ship for help in combat (if it was harder), or have a merchant guild envoy increase demand on an item in a specific system, or an exploration guild envoy help you by revealing one point of interest per planet in a system?

Here’s my wishlist then,.
More random ships.
Freighter class upgrade.
More variety on space station internals.
More variety in npc dialogue.
Indication behind npc name to state they can be hired to your base. (Or an icon)
More sub biomes to make planets feel more alive and better randomized. (Desert/ warm area, frost/cold poles, graveyards, lakes and oceans, underground lakes, fissures, more mixing of existing planetary biomes)
Better naming and indications of what planet types are needed for photography missions.
Atlas word count in the milestone log (same as gek etc have).
More crash fixes (really needed).
Additional random missions /favours from npcs aboard space stations.
More balanced starShip pricing (haulers are stupidly expensive due to their inventory size)
Extra coloring options for both player, starship, freighter etc.
Tame a random friendly pet if they are small enough. (Non aquatic)
Player trade hubs (with prices set by the game to avoid abuse).
Racing events held by npcs that you could participate in. (Both starship or vehicular)
Better warp range for freighters. (Its a big ship, it would make sense to have stronger engines than a sharship?)
Different weapon (multitool) damage types.
Starship customization (attachable parts)
More variety in derelict freighters. (Rad hazard, toxic, etc) so far there’s not much variation.
More “empty” systems. Nearly every system has 1 space station, more should have zero or 2.
Different space station types (small, normal and big - like the anomaly)
Pirate stations (black market) - only found in neutral or dead sectors.
Pirate frigates (so you can attack them, just like sentinel frigates).
The ability to incapacitate enemy ships, to negotiate for their life.
Better/randomized (freighter related) rewards for helping frigates instead of chromatic metal.
“Wireless” power transmitters for bases.
Wires to curl on the floor instead of straight lines.
Another race or two.
Racetrack inside your freighter.
More different metals.

about the the base limits: I don't think we were intended to know where the soft and hard base limits were (because if we did we might want to constantly expand them for no reason which makes it hard on the hardware), but it would be cool if there was a way to see them clearly, plus a more "legitimate" way to expand them than just slapping down walls every 50u or so... example "upgrading" the base computer
it'd also be cool to be able to have a proper top-view map, especially if such base expansions were introduced
oh and also electricity generators based on the type of hazard on the planet could be nice... geothermal for heat, Seebeck generator for cold, nuclear for radioactive, etc. with each one producing a byproduct which can pile up and stop the generator from functioning if it hits the max inventory
and their power output could be based on how present the hazard is, with it producing extreme amounts of electricity when there are storms
also planets with more than one hazard, or alternating hazards - for example in the desert it's extremely cold at night and extremely hot during the day, same thing on Mars
halcyon mason
A planet with sentinels that are actually a threat, please. Like, listed as “Maximum Security” from space, you get wanted level 2 for even getting close enough to it, you cannot fully cool down wanted status while on the ground (sentinels lose you, going into ? mode, but they never deactivate, and constantly spawn around you to make it very likely you’ll be spotted if you’re in the open), and leaving after having landed ups wanted level to 4

aquariums, terrariums and cages for pets aye
Also the ability to raise and train fighting pets (like warframe) - problem with that is their ability to stay alive in different atmospheres ,

Display-rooms on space stations to display creatures native to that system, like aquatic decorations in the wall.

Would be cool if you were to find gas giants. You could either a make a air base floating in the winds, gas giants being the perfect farm for gases. Or option B, you have to manually navigate certain astroids of a certain material by pushing it inbound to the gas giant to give it mas at its core. With a slight catch. Too much mas would cause it become a black hole. Or done carefully enough, ignite the gas giant to become a star. (Also I think finding a system with a dyson sphere would be cool. Or at least having the option to construct one by having requirements in the system to stop abuse. By having base computers set up by 6 different players that the soon to be made dyson sphere checks the authenticality and each of those six players needing one dyson sphere plating to use it as a key to unlock their section on the sun upon creation. With also all those 6 players of their respected placed base computer being present or the installed plating would be spat back into your inventory from invald useage. For unlimited power!!! Eliminating the need to place wires down. As placing power based base parts or machinery would be automatically be powered by the dyson sphere.)
blissful marsh
indeed all the civs are kind of similar tech level - not a single dyson sphere or t2-t5 civ anywhere so far
would like to find bones and fossils older than +~ 1000 years. maybe like 125000 year stuff, relics of ancient civilizations deep underground.

Also if a sun is made in that system due to the gas giant becoming one. It makes a pocket cloud server thats yours and generates planets that are desprived of everything. But must be terriformed.
Oh and maybe having so that if you delete that system. You either get a cut scene of the sun going super nova on the galatic map.

default implementation of two mods: ladders dont cling, and multiple freighters per system.
rivers arent super common on planets yet - itd be nice if those were more realistic
eg start high and flow to an ocean. fluid dynamics are tricky tho.
And,. food - we know people eat, but it's not much more than an icon in your inventory.
Visible food plates at certain locations (recently cooked, being eaten by npcs, or forgotten and rotting at abandoned bases)
And lowly evolved civilizations. stone/metal etc age, tribal but intelligent natives.
If that's an option.
a sentient Insect race (euclid?) and more visible remnants of their civilization.

What is food for exactly. I think the only purpose to cooking is to feed that one npc that gives nanites or something.
and theres no in game way to learn the recipes. that ive found. so presumably we are meant to "explore" by putting shit in the cooker to see what comes out. I can't imagine a worse piece of gameplay. thank god for the internet and wikis.

I don't think anyone quite knows what might be in the next update. I'm placing my two cents that we may hear some tid bits Aug or September. (Though a recent interview by Shawn stated they're making a game similar to no man sky. Debunking the say on if there is gonna be a NMS2, with him saying they wont. At the moment its all hush hush.)
blissful marsh
lets hope it doesnt break existing saves at the least
blissful marsh
Big one:
- Details about the effects of putting the same tech mods next to each other.
Currently they "buff each other" but zero details are given about the actual effect.
sharp widget
interesting.
its almost a let down when they finally provide the help text for things weve almost managed to reverse engineer
and seemingly use that as an excuse to not address the harder-to-reverse-engineer things
like - just give us a way to expand our exo suit tech inventory already.
and get the bottorm row of our storage containers - why are they hinting they have a row that can be unlocked?
and, on that subject - fix the "max upgraded inventory size" hinting by expanding it immediately. Its Bull@#$ that a S class ship looks like it has the original tier limit until you upgrade it and suddenly an extra row appears.
and, lets be frank, i havnt played in months right now because
a. my inventories are full of stuff i need to refine. but can't because if i leave my base while its refining when i come back the refiners are empty. and I dont have time to just stand there.
b. the game keeps removing all my POIs whenever i visit one. and sometimes I pop a bunch of planetary charts that im interested in visiting.
blissful marsh
Another idea:
- Autostack to starship / freighter. Instead of manually having to find existing stacks, auto stack from your suit to another storage container.
- Inventory mode. get rid of the preview, and make the inventor slots full width (especially on freighters with 10 extra storage units).

What about food chains? With plants, t1 consumers (herbivores), t2 consumers (carnivores that eat herbivores), t3 etc.

(And if there’s already a mod that does this, I’d love to know)

In the game there's a lot of components and trade goods that say they have specific uses, but we can't actually do anything with them aside from trading. What I'd love is for us to go into more advanced manufacturing with these trade goods, perhaps for constructing starships. Though to balance it out a bit, maybe you'd have to be of a certain rank with races or guilds to have access to these advanced tech uses.
sharp widget
Import my freighter interior when I buy a new one. Yes I know it makes no sense ...
This I think is one of the most critical things to do, to enable them to remove the re-roll element from the freighter event.
I think that upgrading to a S class freighter should be a deterministic process that can be forced - each time you buy a new freighter, the one offered WILL be at least as good as the freighter you have and perhaps only a bit better.
I would love getting a good freighter to be more of a journey, and less of a grind on the RNG
blissful marsh
Or we should see the "base" part as a standardized module that can be (and should be) relocated to the new freighter.
Much like how storage is quantum entangled.
sharp widget
Perhaps, we should be able to purchase any Freighter we see. But, after the first freighter, all it really does is just unlock the new skin, and bump the current freighters cargo space and stats. So you dont have to worry about rebuilding your base, or restocking the freighter tech inventory.

still, if you allow players to enter, then you need to render more than 100 npcs to give a city a proper sense of scale.

Maybe on planets you would need a special structure for it (kind of like the table inside of observatories).
You could also build these in freighters and they could automatically be in space stations.

Each planet should have its own procgen resource. Depending on the planet, it’s a plant, mineral, meat, and others it’s fish. Depending on the planet, it’s a kind of fuel or a source of nanites. It can be disassembled for non-procgen materials.
Every atom procedural

It can go much further than that. Depending on the procgen resource, it can give you a temporary boost to any stats.

It should be a secondary resource, yes.
Though, we should not exclude it from being an ore.

or you can just "analyze" them like the tritium hyperclusters into different resources
lilac crane
^^
The item has stats. Stacking does not make sense.
Like I said, you disassemble/analyse it for a nonprocgen resource.
gloomy hazel
yeah
halcyon mason
Disassembly might be better yeah, that way they don’t have to mess with secondary refining output
It just gives you the resource and nanites
For example, mining a scanned rock on a radioactive planet might give you uranium and something called “thanadaxtrum”, one or two for each object mined. When you break it down in your inventory, it gives you ionized cobalt and three nanites, and from then on, hovering over it in your inventory tells you it gives you ionized cobalt
gloomy hazel
just rando proc gen names
just a little bit of something to flesh out the world
maybe its just the planet names generator with ite, drum, dex, bolt, etc etc at the end
¯_(ツ)_/¯
lilac crane
To give an example, let's say there is a resource on a planet that a player discovers. The player names the resource in the discovery tab: "Unobtainium". Unobtainium is a fuel that gives players +200 Ly jump range on the next jump. The player mines it as an ore and then stores it, or analyzes it for chromatic metal.
lilac crane
If it's a procgen name, it needs to be able to be named by players.
gloomy hazel
mhm
lilac crane
I do wonder, if the procgen resource should stack with another or the same procgen resource. It should not stack in the magnitude direction, but it should stack on the jumps direction. So if you use 2jumps worth of "Unobtainium", it would give you 2 jumps of +200 Ly, not 1 jump of +400.
lilac crane
I don't think that having hotspots of this resource is a good idea. That's pretty abuseable.

Speaking of that, I want actual cliffs, overhanging ones. Right now it only ever really happens if a large cave is cut off prematurely on the surface, because terrain is a pure heightmap, generation wise

there's floating islands. so cliffs should be possible

if waterfalls happen, i hope they’re not always the same pre-set width and height and require specific terrain generation to be able to work

would love to have rare freighter crashes while on-planet. you'd hear a huge rumble and see it crash outta the sky. big bright light/explosion and boom. crashed freighter model loads at the impact site
coarse prism
Freighters should also crash after taking enough main body damage. It would be cool to see npc freighters crash when you don't manage to save them from pirates in time.
lilac crane
Yes, but not your freighter. I can't afford to babysit my freighter.
sharp widget
I wish i could actually reliably find "old" style world-gen base computers.
I like the flat area they come with, which means no problems later with terrain regen bugs.
All my underwater bases are at crashed freighters. Those have a nice large flat and deep area, and you dont need to have any transparent modules actually facing freighter if you don't want.
lilac crane
Can we get jump lock on the HUD or the starship's screen?
quasi pine
I just wish they'd bring back the old stat/bonus tooltips from NEXT that were shown on ships and multitools: https://gameplay.tips/uploads/posts/2018-08/1533575316_8.jpg
lilac crane
No thanks.
quasi pine
So you don't what a tooltip, that is only painted when hovered, that lets you see when you've properly set your synergies, displays your raw bonus percentages, and base vs. total stats? You prefer the ambiguous color bar?
lilac crane
You prefer the amibigous %?
quasi pine
How is an exact percentage ambiguous?
lilac crane
Because a percentage only means something in the context of another absolute number.
Also: I like the way the tooltips are now.
quasi pine
There is no tooltip in this instance.
And those percentages were bonus over base, base being static. When comparing, for example, ship to ship, it allowed for comparing bonuses which are procedurally-generated.
So you get two exotics, one with a 19% HD bonus and one with a 32% HD bonus. You could actually see that in NEXT. Now, you get a color bar that, depending on display, can be difficult to determine length.
halcyon mason
How about this: show both
Show what it shows now, and then an actual number better reflecting the actual increase
Like, Increased Damage +10% (+104)
For example, life support upgrades show the percentage increased, plus the added time before critical exposure on non-extreme planets
Would make the single digit percent increases feel less underwhelming
quasi pine
That would be ideal. Heck, even that would be an improvement over what we have now, where getting such exact numbers requires using NMSSE to crack open the save. Having the totals and color bars remain as is is fine, then the base/bonus in the tooltip with total breakdown so the initial screens aren't information overload but allow for in-depth comparison.
The only reason I brought up the old tooltip was because it wasn't obtrusive; it was hidden until you hover over the class-shield of the object in question. It wasn't perfect, but it did provide us with more information than we have now.
brave plinth
Tbh, the numbers are kind of a flexing contest anyway.
With respect hyperdrive ranges, all the base ship hyperdrive stats are 101 LY. Subtract that from the "core" HD range, thats the bonus %.
Explorers, for example, max out at +80% bonus, thus the highest base range (no upgrades) on an explorer is 181 LY.
blissful marsh
Honestly, no matter what the tooltips are, i just want to see what the dang bonusses are/ do. especially the synergies. 2 scanners light up green - stats remain unchanged,.. ok - do they add 1% bonus, or 10%,. or something else?
It doesn't show it on the right - where space is available. and not in the items themselves. We're just at a loss right now.
comparing upgrades should be similary simple. Hover over 1 item - show what the stats would be in comparison to the other items you have.
lilac crane
Freighter jump range should be massively increased beyond ship range. The Idea here is that freighters should act like aircraft carriers.
Much more. 15k is 3 jumps.
Make it 30k at least
We don’t have or need to give 30k range straight away.
The state of Euclid is filled with players who either can’t leave, choose not to leave or players who came back.
So bumping up range too much doesn’t do too much harm
The real question of jump range is pacing.
lilac crane
How about giving races unique starships? Starships between races do look samey.
halcyon mason
I want a better/faster way to navigate the warp menu, if I’m just trying to book it in a specific direction. Put my cursor at maximum range with a button press, and let me select adjacent systems that are also at maximum range, in a big sphere around me.
Also show me a list of systems I would theoretically be jumping through on my way there, with race/econ/conflict summary, so I can decide at that point whether or not I want to layover at one of them instead
ALSO also, let me drop a pin on a system that’s of interest that I don’t want to go to RIGHT NOW, so I don’t lose track of it while cruising through some nearby ones first
Right now what the warp map is, is just a way to either follow a line, or jump to a single point you pick on a whim at that moment. Let me plan routes, let me bookmark stuff, give me more agency.
wispy maple
that sounds kinda of fire ngl
gloomy hazel
I still would love to see that "dark freighter" mentioned in one of the weekend missions way back
Comandeered by a techno-priest Vykeen, a unique freighter where players could dock to upgrade / customize their ships

Instead of making the option available on every populated space station, it would give players a new aspect of game to hunt for and explore

You can even put them undeground

Procedurally generated sentinels.
sharp widget
They also snap to the floors inside large prefab rooms, round and square.
That said - I would like external snap points for solar panels
as well as internal (and external) snap points for the short range teleporter, as well as an adaptive model it uses such as when placed indoors that doesn't clip through the ceiling.
I would also like floor based snap points in my freighter for most things
a "double volume" room - that can only be placed ontop of another freighter room, and has no floor, to create multi height internal spaces.
as well as a "biodome" equivalent room for freighters. Similar to a normal freighter room , it has in its center a harvest panel, which will harvest all trays in the rooms area.
Alternatively, we simply get given a new style of freighter :-
This freighter style consists of the normal hangar, and bridge that are joined via a small connecting area, which terminates in an airlock. Rather than teh 21x21x? freighter grid, this freighters base is simply built using a space oriented prefab part set, for making the players mobile space base.
Normal(ish) biodomes being a possible option.
sharp widget
freighter grids are already TARDIS like.
idk what freighters keep in their actual hull. its not cargo. that fits in a hauler. Its not the base. that occupies invisible space above the landing hangar where there is nothing.
lilac crane
freighter grids are already TARDIS like.
Proof it
Can we get more sentinel facilities? Talking facilities for monitoring the inhabitants. Perhaps sometimes you walk into this and you discover information about you, what you have done on this planet.
And how about an expansion of the abyss as an antagonist/villain?

Input and output on landing pads, so we know when a ship has landed on them.
The one thing that bothers me about archaeology is that I don't know anything about the civilizations or the time that the creatures lived in. There should be a way to turn fossils into a log that says more about the environment.
Let's give planets history.
Can we give each galaxy type its own lore? Would add a point to being in another galaxy.
Not everyone is in Euclid. Eissentam is quite popular too I heard.

supple warren
for building it's really bizarre there's not a virtual grid & floor to snap stuff to regardless of snap points on other parts. Would allow for arbitrary structure placement and far more flexibility for builders with this feature.
Also solar panels should definitely need to be exposed to starlight to generate power, very, very silly that they don't.
Oh, and as always, they should really ditch the timegating crap and offer alternative options to those that like to focus stuff down or feel like they're doing something each session besides just popping in to collect junk to sell/craft & sell.
Technologies would be improved if all were available as modules, not just RNG upgrade crap. This way you'd have the option of crafting, finding, or buying them, since they could then be served up not just as blueprints but as scavenging or mission rewards.
Purchase would be expensive, making blueprints, scavenging, or mission running preferable for those that don't want to spend units/nanites/currency each time they get new equipment to fit it.

@night night Hexagonal planets could go all sorts of weird ways. Trees with less plates, trees with more plates.
night night
They could combine the exotics with other biomes, the same way other biomes did with Origins

Why go that direction?
I think the existing exotic biomes need something more unique.

Why not? It's already there.
lilac crane
The exotics need more substance, not more mix.
night night
I agree, but it couldn't hurt to open them up a bit more.
lilac crane
Your plan risks these biomes becoming more generic. Before Origins you couldn’t see shells in the ocean, now they are quite common.
Hexagonal planets are a lot more open than you might think. If it’s a hexagon, it should work. After all, the hexagon is the bestagon.

Exocraft control overhaul for controllers, as an optional control style from the settings menu, “Driving Game” style
Right trigger = Gas
Left trigger = Brake, hold for Reverse
Stick left/right = Wheel hard left /right, rotate left/right in the air
Stick up = Pitch nose down, rotate forward in the air
Stick down = Pitch nose up, full hold while driving to wheelie, rotate backward in the air
Viewpoint control is totally decoupled from vehicle control in this mode, vehicle can turn very sharply without needing to use it, works in first and third person, checkbox for whether or not to also apply to the Minotaur.
Would also apply to the keyboard for a more traditional driving game on keyboard feel

Cabled is actually quite creepy and cool. I would add some wires on the ground and add structures consisting of multiple spheres rather a single one.
So, depending on the planet, the structures can be 1, or even 4 spheres conjoined.
What the mech desperately needs, is sideways movement. You have given up wheels for something that can’t even press one of the advantages of legs: sideways steps.

the coolest thing they could do with cabled planets imo would be to have a rare cable pod POI, like a collective form of the tall pods with tendrils but it's like you said, multiple conjoined spheres, and as you approach it, it grabs you.
Here's the really fun part, when it grabs/draws you in, you're given a chance to struggle away. Some of them are benign, and are drawing you in for observation, but you have to risk waiting a moment to determine which it is.
Others are just malevolent and are drawing you in to harm you.

It doesn't help that exotics have the same ground color. Vary the ground a lot more, and it will lead to some more variety.

I would love to see large premade settlements of each of the races, like, it would look like a small town comprised of a bunch of the existing structures like a trading post, a few outposts or minor settlement style buildings all around it, and a decent number of that race all milling about outside
They would be reasonably rare, a little more rare than archives, but would be weighted to spawn close to each other and to archives and trading posts, resulting in these big pockets of civilization surrounded by wilderness
And yes, you’d still be able to build a base there, and they would feature a “landmark” unique to each race as the centerpiece of the town, as @sharp widget suggested
You can even see where they are from space by spotting lights on the surface at night
Perhaps they have a very low chance to appear in poor or high conflict systems, and a much higher chance (and maximum density) in wealthy or low conflict systems

“Each game mode is a different permutation of the universe. The different platforms have the same permutation.”
halcyon mason
The Wiki is not moderated by HG, so it might contain speculation or outdated information
But I might be off base here, that seems odd
manic ferry
Or maybe the same planets do exist, but it’s all in a different combination of which star system they’re in, planets in a star system, etc
halcyon mason
In this case it would put the grave on the planet with the portal glyphs matching the one they died on
Much simpler
gloomy hazel
I think its the same universe, just a different server
halcyon mason
Would let the player who died hand out their portal address and others can look for their grave
I like that idea though, the grave features their likeness and (corrupted) name, gives a summary of how wealthy they were and what they were doing (in the story) when they died, then you detect a distress signal nearby with their actual ship they were using when they died. Wouldn’t have the inventory or tech it had when they died, but would be the same design.
manic ferry
And maybe the same ship name, if that is possible
halcyon mason
That has potential for abuse, so maybe. Though I guess if you find it offensive it lets you rename it once or just destroy it

better solution: ditch the maps, use the already existing signal booster quick menu setup from exocraft.

Slightly related but have you ever been to a mountain planet where the "caves" are super thin slivers of air between an upper crust and lower foundation of the mountain? Those are so weird. It makes me wonder if the implication is that they were once filled with a thin layer of ice that melted away.

hopefully HG are aware of the game Deep Rock Galactic and how beautiful and interesting the caves are and how mining works
what if they introduced planetary dungeons in the form of mysterious standalone doorways or portals that can be found on planets/in caves
