I was on this planet and found the strangest thing.

I don't know if it was some sort of terrain glitch, but I found this skyscraper tall block of Heridium

Here's a video checking it out up close - https://youtu.be/LeawkJ3SgDM

You can get guided to them by the scanner beacon things, but the last few I've been to couldn't point me toward one

I know you can, but I really find it much easier to just fly around, keeping an eye out for their shape, and landing if I see them. I do that for most every point of interest, since I feel it takes too long to hop around beacon points and waste the time & fuel on an extra step.

I think I just hit 32 inventory slots before I turned my game off today, going to three planets and a moon, and I wasn't really actively looking for them specifically.

 

[ymgve]

So I think I figured out how placement of upgrades work. They don't need to be next to each other, but they get a slight boost if they are. You can see it works because the item border lights up in some color, and on the right hand side of the screen the circular stat bars will have a small lighter colored segment that shows the bonus. The bonus doesn't seem large enough to make a significant difference, so don't worry if things don't line up perfectly. (Like the suit - why is the jetpack stuck in the corner where it can't be connected to anything?)

Giant Heridium blocks are the common way to get them but
...this one is unusually thin and tall, yes.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

I've been to two of those Atlas stations, never saw a secret station or a dork. How did you find the secret station?

No idea if its random but these are the same dorks I ran into.they gave me the pass

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ride that pony.

 

[ymgve]

Use your phase beam. It owns other ships.

It also owns your ship, so you better be quick in taking the pirates that have it down, unless you have a few shield upgrades.

 

[KeRaSh]

Correct. If you want to boost e.g. mining laser through upgrades you need to place them so they all touch. Upgrades for mining laser work when they touch mining laser component OR other mining laser upgrades that then connect to mining laser component.

YXXXX or XYXXX etc.

Y == mining laser

X == mining laser upgrade

Look into if you can break systems for parts and reconstruct them into better spots in the suit. OR just move them, I think you can move jetpack core item.

Just wanted to chime in that I've upgraded my Jetpack with a +2 thingy and it's not touching my Jetpack. I still got a significant bonus to boost time!
Could it be that touching parts only further enhance the effect but upgrades themselves work from the get go? I bought mining lasers that came pre-upgraded and none of the upgrades touched. No way to recraft some of them because I don't even have the blueprints.

 

[robotrock]

What does the "follow the waypoint" star chart do?

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

A million? I was trying to remember how far I was from the center before I entered a black hole, since somehow I missed how far it sent me (or haven't figured out how to check I suppose, haven't messed around too much with the galactic map).

I don't think it was anywhere close to that, though. Do we all start at relatively the same distance? I have roughly 750,000 to go, have warped maybe 5-6 times and entered one black hole.

I'm pretty certain it was a 7 digit number, wish I took a screenshot now. I only took a black hole that one time but trying relocate my previous waypoint is impossible even with the path still lingering. It's incredibly far away and strangely is toward the core. Could it have flung me to the opposite side?

I completely abandoned the hope of getting back on my first route anyway since I can't even trace back to it.

 

[Reszo]

I know you need to connect your module next to each other in the weapon but do I need to connect my hyperdrive to my warp drive update or it can be separated?

wait wait wait....you have to put them next to each other????

 

[Hawkian]

whoa... found a planet with these huge floating islands. Landed on one and they're all terraced. So weird. haven't seen this sort of terrain elsewhere so far

 

[Cess007]

I've jumped systems probably 5 times and still don't have an atlas pass. Did I miss something?

Same thing here, 5 jumps too no pass

I'm 8 jumps in no pass. Is the pass a random event?

Is that the one that appears as an "Anomaly"? Got the indicator after my second warp, but the anomaly is 4 warps away and I only have fuel for 1

 

[Jamiaro]

Looks like chinese rice-beds or something similar... Very nice!

 

[Norwegian_Imposter]

Plutonium is like the most abundant resource. It's basically your fuel.

Yeah I know it's everywhere except that damn planet so avoid williamsville if you're low on resources cos you ain't finding shit there. Zinc was non existent on there too. (It was the second planet I ever landed on when I was wasn't as known up at the time)

 

[Soulflarz]

going to test if duping to sell a lot more breaks the game into thinking you did enough progression to warp a black hole every 30m

This is necessary if this game gets speedrun
>_>

[BreezyLimbo]

I kinda love this game. Seeing tons of different planets, not every two is the same...and not having to do combat helps it out alot. Like....I get this game might disappoint alot of people, but for those who want a game of exploration and wonder, this game is it.

I like it alot. It's a chill game. Put up a movie and just explore away..

Also-I've found a lush planet that is also desolate of wildlife and most plants. Lush in the sense that it's green meadows as far as the eye can see..

 

[Nafai1123]

I'm currently on a planet with these dragon-wing like plant's. It's hot as hell during the day with frequent storms but at night it is peaceful and the animal life is not hostile from what I've seen. It's here that I found the largest tower of gold I've ever seen. This shit was seriously like 5 stories tall. At least twice the size of the regular deposits. Game crashed when I got to a wrecked ship but it was a POS anyways.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Yes, Space Anomaly = Atlas Pass.
I called it secret station.

okay its about 130,000 credits/minute my method

not too bad?

 

[robotrock]

Wait, which star chart map am I supposed to be following? I've been following the line to the center of the galaxy, but am I supposed to be using a different one?

 

[Soulflarz]

pick a route, follow it for an ending

 

[Roussow]

So, I'm curious to know how long this Atlas path is, I feel like I've done the same thing now about 5 times without it changing, how many stations do I check in on? Is this the entirety of the quest? Do the stones do anything? I've been selling them.

There's a way to dupe already?

 

[Hawkian]

The weird planet I'm on, same one with the islands, makes me wish I was playing my explorer/cataloguer style as I will be on PC. But not enough to keep from slaughtering everything. sentinels here are pretty chill tho

life is weird

 

[Carlius]

what a shitty release date...ffs, why cant it be fucking friday!

 

[Soulflarz]

There's a way to dupe already?

Yep because this game has some shoddy coding regarding reloading without rebooting.

what a shitty release date...ffs, why cant it be fucking friday!

Ah yes, tuesday, the worst day to release games.

 

[Gleethor]

I hope that when base building is added, you can put the entrance anywhere. Cuz im putting my door at the bottom of one of these and putting the base inside.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Im diggin this multi tool. Cuts through a giant block of anything like butter.

 

[robotrock]

Am I going to make the path to the center of the universe significantly longer for myself if I decide to go the Atlas path now?

What is this dupe? Can you PM it to me?

Atlas is an ending of its own from what I understand

What is this dupe? Can you PM it to me?

load ship half full with loot
kill self
reload save before you die
regrab loot, since your grave is still there hilariously

ezpz

Good lord, I haven't seen a new bloody Multi-Tool since my second sector. Is there a more full proof way to find these? Most I came across early were inside buildings on the walls, usually buildings inhabited by Aliens.

 

[Hawkian]

lol, I just got the name of the item "geknip."

the rare alloy recipe I got is exquisite.

i need to go to sleep. i need to go to sleep.

 

[AdamMPSP]

So, bad news, I guess I did the dlc bug. I've played for like 6 hours. I'm four star systems in. I sold my dlc ship for another ship, not realizing it doesn't have a hyper drive. I have no hyperdrive blueprint. Is there anything I can do? The system I'm in has two planets, so I'm slowly scouring them for a blueprint, but so far no luck. Help!

duping in this game is ruining everything this game stands for lol

 

[SlimXx]

If the game becomes boring shit after 10-15 hours as many say, that 10-15 hours will have been more than worth it alone.

They should put this quote on the box.

 

[Grakl]

Does the game play loop change or the game get harder?

 

[Kworn]

I cannot believe my luck FFS

I am about 5 hours in and loving it. Only issue is I started on a planet which had already been discovered and I am basically following the same path as this other dude.

I figure he is taking the same story path and therefor the same systems as me!!

 

[Vesper73]

Anyone else going to double dip with the PC version?

I am. Also purchasing for a few friends that don't really know about it. Thanks Sean!

 

[KennyLinder]

When you buy a new Multitool, do you keep all the perk upgrades that had found/created for your previous one?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Maybe us old guys enjoy NMS more because we used to play games like time pilot and zaxxon.

I loved Time Pilot.

Time Pilot, nice!

I loved Zaxxon!

 

[Hawkian]

damn some beautiful shots there TheWorthyEdge.

 

[Soulflarz]

ehh not really. You just have a ton of money while you explore!

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I found that when I reached a Korvax system a lot of them had the multi tool cases on the wall in some outposts. Its like with the ships, each time you get a better one the chances of finding another better one increase.

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Can you only buy a dynamic resonator? Fixed this ship, but the hyper drive is broken. Tried to buy one from the market in space, but they were sold out. Do I need to just keep looking for local planet markets that sell em, or where can I find a recipe to craft one... I've been searching for hours.

edit: also

I restarted after 10 hours of having that preorder ship glitch, so I am so over not being able to go to other solar systems.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

damn some beautiful shots there TheWorthyEdge.

Thanks. I want a Disable HUD option nooooow!
