What is the red shield icon in the lower right side of the screen (near where the run icon shows up). It persists even after I get back in my ship and charge up all my various suit pieces.

The sense of scale is incredible and I still haven't left the first star system.
I've spent about 3 hours in only my first 2 planets.
This is game is definitely everything I wanted it to be and more, but I can see how some people might not like it if they come in expecting a vastly different game than what it is.

Space Stations are the one icon that is guaranteed to appear in any system. It's like an orange diamond.
That's fair enough man - for me it's not a pastime, so I have completely different priorities. I experience and play games as interactive art - they inspire me, give me moments of elation or heightened living experience, and as of the last year I write and consult on games so they are literally becoming my living.
If something is critically acclaimed, the way i see it, there IS something masterful about the game, there's a reason it's acclaimed, so I will stick with it no matter what to find that experience. 100% of the time, sticking with it had worked out for me.
I still sort of think "your level of fun would fly through the roof of you stuck with some slower experiences" but to each their own of course.
So that's what the "you have items to redeem blah blah" message I can't get rid off is?

Yep that's the one.
According to Sean animals will react differently based on their species.
And apparently some can poop resources for you.
So, you know. There's that.

Did it always say that the expected delivery was going to be for today? Mine said Tuesday and then got pushed to Thursday but it is expecting to ship out today.

Just got my LE delivered from Amazon! Now to count down the hours until the end of the work day...

I had a No Man's Sky dream last night, I don't usually do that with video games.
It will be worth it for that adjustable FOV!
Some blueprints require gold and copper. Ran into some yesterday. I ended up an hour away from my ship while exploring. Lol.
This was my exact reaction when i checked Amazon today lol

Thanks for that. Seems I'm now having payment issues, and a search online turns up the solution is waiting 24 hours for it to resolve itself...

Games with bad FOV usually bother me and make me dizzy but this does not. Maybe its due to the large outdoor areas? Either way, doesn't bother me and I hope they don't change the defaults. Hopefully they can add some settings to give people who don't like it options though.
This game is great so far. More 'game' to it than I was expecting which is awesome.

I figured this was the best place to ask for some information. I'd just like to know if the game has a story or narrative? If so, is it like an RPG type linear story? I'm really interested in it and this is the information me and my friends need before considering a purchase. Normally I'd search the thread but it's already massive. Thanks in advance!
Show it who is the boss around there and stripmine the sucker like proper human would do :b
You can get more slots for your suit and ship, but they also increased stack sizes already. Planning to increase them even more in next patch.
Games are interactive art, indisputably. But consuming art of any kind is a pasttime for me
Something I do specifically because I enjoy it. I think it's really interesting that your perspective of what you're willing to tolerate is different as someone who works on games yourself. Once upon a time I desperately wanted to be part of the industry too, but I lost my innocence a bit as a part of online communities over the years and it just wouldn't be good for me.
Hehe, I mean the thing is I'd love to find an example of something I actually have missed out on.
I don't mind slow experiences and I forgive a game a bad intro all the time. Dying Light's is atrocious. But I knew that I liked the good qualities it had right away as well.
There exist people who play games quite literally for hundreds of hours while perpetually complaining about how unpleasant the experience is- that is the anti-hawkian.

I havent played it but from what I understand there is no story. There is LORE but no story your character follows. I could be wrong.

Yes it did. Last night it still said "shipping soon", and then this morning it said "on the way" with a UPS tracking showing that it's in my town.
Lol I had not heard that. Guess I better keep feeding critters to see what happens!

Knew it would have been too good to be true. Thanks.
It definitely does. I wouldn't necessary describe it as either linear or abstract. There is a consistent lore, there are narrative moments, there are choices.Quoting myself since I think it got lost in the flood
I have no idea how compelling or how long the "story" is, though.
Actually, so far I've considered all the little story/lore bits (which btw seem pretty well-written) to be gravy. If it gets really good as I progress my sentiments on this game will only improve
Well, it sounds like you've already made up your mind about the game in advance, but you should be aware that there is an incredible amount of stupid in that user review, not the least of which is the weird arrogance of someone being to 3 planets and 2 space stations and somehow thinking you've seen pretty much all the game has to offer. In relative terms, that's like playing Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and stopping right before your uncle gives you his sword and complaining about how it's always raining, they cut back the items to just a lamp that barely does anything, you can't even do anything to protect yourself against the patrolling soldiers, and rupees are useless.
I can even answer a few questions this user reviewer asks that they apparently didn't have the time or interest to allow the game to answer for them.
Then don't stay on that planet? The game doesn't force you to spend any time whatsoever on any planet in the game other than your starter planet. If you think a location is shitty and lame (because, yes, this is a universe simulator, and there are many shitty and lame planets in the universe), then move on.
I mean, don't then? Make only the exact ones that you want. You don't "buy" them anyway, you craft them with resources, which might free up one of your inventory slots anyway.
Because it's a multi-tool? It does multiple things, and you can put several different functionalities into it, only one of which is a gun. And, by the way, the gun part is purely optional.
What a weird complaint. Aside from a few games like the Elder Scrolls games and things like that, isn't this what happens in most games?
Because that's not how suit upgrades work? You find suit inventory upgrades in drop pods on the planets.
Also, you can find them on space stations after you have an Atlas Pass...which you don't have when you're only on your second space station.
Go to different planets? There's a ridiculous amount of variety.
Because it's an exploration game, not a deep social simulator? Also, how does this guy even know what the reputation system does after being on 3 planets?
Purely subjective.
It...doesn't? It's letting you know you're being attacked. This isn't really unusual to this game. I do think there's room for refinement, though.
Maybe this guy just got lucky with his starting point and got a friendly planet with friendly sentinels. Some people did. Some people didn't. Also, you're basically in what serves as the game's tutorial, so how hard would you expect it to be?
Because they're planets. Also, you have a ship you can fly around on. And you can use your jetpack to augment your sprint and allow it to refresh. And you can install sprint upgrades to run longer. And you can install jetpack upgrades to fly longer. And so on. Oh wait, right, earlier this guy said the game gives him no incentives to install any upgrades in his inventory. My mistake.
Because you only visited 3 planets out of 18 quintillion. Also, maybe you just got unlucky. I've seen planets with lots of dull and samey animals. I've seen planets with flying skywhales. It's a mixed bag.
I could ask this of about 98% of current gen games.
Well, the point about not being able to turn them off is fair. I'd actually like to have that ability, too. Sometimes I just don't want to go to the crashed ship that I got waypoint for.
Most of the time they're easy to manage. In extreme conditions, that hazard bar can become extremely difficult to deal with and may require you to find shelter rather than try to refill the bar. I wouldn't say this complaint is wrong, though. It's just the glass half empty (or all empty) way of looking at it. If it was difficult to manage those gauges, that would actively discourage exploration, which is what the game is ostensibly about. Not having them at all means there's no threat or danger unless you're actively assaulted, effectively eliminating the survival aspect of the game. I do think this can be further balanced, though.

Does anyone know how to re establish connection to the online services? I uploaded the system and planet I discovered but I don't know if it will show up foe everyone to see.
sucks to hear for you guys. I had the CE from March and it showed up today.
And then what? Like how do I "exit"?

That reminds me. I can completely dismantle the visor mode/L2 for my multi-tool if I so choose, can't I...
My character simply has no need for it. So far I have discovered 2 species (one by accident) and slaughtered ~20.
you've clicked the right stick to run, right? I think with that, it's better - but you get winded. I found an upgrade for more stamina, which is nice. I wish you could call your ship to you.

Anyone know how to get an AtlasPass yet? Are they found, bought, or crafted?

Haha, I am. I'm loving everything so far.
I'm going to spend all day trying to decide if I should delete my save or not from using that stupid dlc ship. I completely didn't want to, but after half an hour of that message repeatedly popping up I gave in.
I 85%ed my starting planet but the "tutorial" progression completely stopped and now all it tells me to do is to go to space and use the hyperdrive. I really don't want to leave and miss a bunch of lore/game explanation.
