It boggles my mind how many people are making a big deal over the "can't see other players" thing. It's like the pre-order cancelled meme came to life and went serious.
I was never super hyped for this because I never thought it was going to be as amazing as people expected. Between procedural generation and the vast scope of the in-game universe, there were clearly going to be limitations on what we were going to see in-game.
There is a difference between criticizing real problems and not picky criticizing for the sake of confirming an already held negative bias. And I think the "it's not for them" defense is often directed at people who are clearly feeling the latter.
It's a weird thing that presents itself in video game discussion that we, as fans, tend to gravitate towards extremes. Either a game is BEST GAME EVER or it's 0/10 shit sux lol. So legitimate criticisms are often times met with immediate dismissal because people are assuming others discussing the game must fall into the latter category if there is any criticism at all.

Sprint, press melee and immediately hit the jet pack. Known trick to zip across the landscape.
I got mine from a beacon signal leading me to an intelligent being.

There are drop pods everywhere on this planet. I found them every time I scanned for a shelter. Yes, I upgraded my suit to 21-slot o this planet alone.

So I got an alert when I entered a new system that there was an abandoned building on a planet. So I went there and it was under water. I dived down and couldnt find any entrances to it.
Sorry I dont have a picture right now as I'm at work, but has anyone come across something like this? Why would the game mark it if I cant reall enter or do anything with it?
EDIT: There is a building underwater but there are no doors, sorry if that was confusing.

any word on if you start a new save all your previous naming and discovery claims are saved still? Also how are the servers?
Atlas pass question:
So I'm 8 jumps in along the storyline, and I've visited 2 of those big diamond Atlas stations. I got an Atlas stone and two warp cores from both of them, but no Atlas Pass blueprint. I've done some reading, and apparently after the first Atlas station you're supposed to have gotten a waypoint to a "secret" station, and a guy there gives you the blueprint? That never happened to me. Has my game bugged? Is there another way to get the Atlas blueprint?

Anyone else having a problem with the controls going all wacky on them randomly? I may just need a new dualshock...

Who has gotten the furthest in this game? Do we even know? I'm a little surprised that we haven't seen anyone claim to get to the center yet.

Same. At first I was kind of disinterested...but then I got an
Atlaspass V1
The biggest change was being able to make the warp cells easily. Once I was able to do that I started to play more and get more hooked.
That happened to me like 4 times on a watery planet. I've had waypoints appear over water, dived down and nothing was there.
Is there a way to remove waypoints other than visiting them?

Try pressing and holding R1 (melee) and X (jetpack) at the same time whilst moving forward for a little boost. I find it's made traversal a bit more tolerable.

The inability to move upgrades between slots makes this such a chore. Have to dismantle what's already there (which doesn't get you as much as it costs to craft, I think?), craft the new thing, and then re-craft the old thing in a different slot. This along with the inability to even see what you could craft if you don't have a free slot is just ugh. If I want to just see what blueprints I might have for my multitool I first have to dismantle an existing upgrade. Then, if it turns out I have nothing better, I have to craft the thing I just dismantled again. What is that. Why can't I view my blueprints outside of the crafting menu, which is only available if you have empty slots?

Happened to me like 5 times on Monday. Twice on my pre-embargo stream LOL. I was like ¯\_(ツ
_/¯50! Is there a known cap on how many?
So I didn't complete the tutorial. Just bought a hyperdrive equipped ship and left. I don't seen to have a hyperdrive blueprint - is there any way to get one after the fact? I mean I don't think I really need one, as every ship I look at has a hyperdrive but it's niggling me, lol.
I hope it's not bugged out, but I got the warp reactor tau blueprint, and its not showing up in my ship technology list to build, either in the "All" or "Hyperdrive" tabs. Am I missing something obvious? I even know the exact materials I need from when I picked it up, but now I can't build it!
Havn't been this hooked to a game for many years. Just looking at the stars knowing I could go into my ship and fly to them is one of the best feelings a game has ever giving me.
At the moment I'm looking forward to find a planet with some life. The last 5 planets I've visit have been completely barren Moon and Mars like planets.

Sounds like a place I desparately need to visit so I can get double my ship inventory. Exosuit is already near 50 as is, which makes running around much easier.

I just found a planet that was COVERED in these green Venus fly trap things that I could open, and had a big pearl inside worth 27,500 units. I'm talking like 20-30 of them within 30 seconds of my ship. Sentinels would go to level 3 when I grabbed one so I had to be quick, but filled up all my slots and did about 3 runs back to the space station to sell them.
Also I have a lot of negative criticisms of the game when I'm not playing it, but as soon as I start playing I forget it all and lose myself in it for hours.

That's a small Quality of Life thing that would make this game SO much more enjoyable and less frustrating.
Boggles my mind how something like that wasn't already implemented- surely playtesting would have revealed that being able to move upgrades around in your inventory is a great idea?....
Hm... my tips based on how I started out:
- Maybe wait to redeem the pre-order ship until you have learned the hyperdrive and antimatter recipes. This actually didn't wind up messing with my progression really - I just bought a different ship before leaving the first system, then wound up scanning the planets from space to find the quest locations to receive them - but it's not really worth messing with as the pre-order ship doesn't do much for you anyway. I'd only redeem it after getting those recipes just to get rid of the notification that you have it available.
- Resist the urge to mine everything around you. Resources abound everywhere and you have limited space. Focus on looking for resources you need to activate upgrades for your equipment as you get them, as well as high-value items (in the early game, this is generally neutral elements like Gold, or trade items).
- For upgrades, linking the upgrades to their base item seems to improve their effect. This is why the inventory shapes will look weird at first with slots being in different positions. Keep this in mind when upgrading your ship, as the core components of a ship cannot be destroyed and rebuilt in a different slot. I don't really know how this works on the exosuit - you can link certain upgrades to base components (like linking the life support upgrades to the life support base), but the jetpack for example is behind two other core components and can't be moved, so it doesn't seem like you could ever link jetpack upgrades to it.
- Don't wait forever to upgrade your ship's shields or phase beams. At some point you're going to get scanned and attacked by hostile ships for carrying decent cargo, and they can mess you up pretty hard if you aren't prepared. For my part I feel like it is a lot easier to fight with the phase beam than the photon cannon. Also, upgrading the phase boost is a good investment because it helps you navigate around planets a lot better (your turn radius while boosting is a lot better).
- Don't be afraid to break into buildings and take on sentinels. It's worth breaking into facilities, and on some planets sentinels are outright hostile to begin with. They're also a good source of Titanium. Upgrading your shield and boltcaster can be a pretty good investment to make taking on sentinels a lot easier and scoring lots of Titanium (which is especially useful for repairing your shield during space combat).
- Let go of the idea of being a completionist. This game will break you. Sometimes it can be worth going after species discoveries for the units awarded for completing an entire planet, though, and this advances your journey milestone, which is a bit important for progressing into the actual meat of things later. But unless you actually want to spend the next ten years of your life scanning rocks, you just kind of need to accept that the universe is too big and the interesting moments too far apart for you to search every corner of every planet.

Measures your inventory... when red, it means inventory full.
So, is there a way to realistically track your way to the center? From what it appears, the only way to really do this is jump on star distance st a stone and write down your path as you go?
There's a waypoint system, but seems you can only select three stars and not really sure how it works or if it's effective.

Jump to next system. Crash.
Start up game again. Jump to next system again. Crash again.
Waiting on the third try now.

I am not to thrilled with the game, so much repetition. The magic of discovery is totally gone when every system and planet has the same template.
That said I see there are multiple quest line but no quest log, so how the hell do I know what quest to do. It seems like atlas is the main one as that's the one that always shows up on my one notification corner but what about the other one?
Also many times I reach this monolith beacon thing that says it sends its signal to the stars, the camera zooms out and it says you have found something on another star system, then it zooms back and points me to a monolith like a minute away on that planet, what?

I don't think it's an oversight. Just more stuff the couldn't have added without delaying the game further.
Sean said it sounded like a good idea. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that crops up in a future update.
I was thinking about what sort of vehicles. Maybe like a slow hauling truck you can load up with resources. And a landspeeder. Zipping across a desert or dodging between trees on a hover bike would be fantastic.
That and the Mako
yeah i agree, Ive kinda learned also you if you have something that is +3 you can get rid of the +1 stuff to help make your weapon more efficient. it would be nice to see the blueprints without having to dismantle. its kinda broken where i think they assume you will look at it when you acquire.

So I deleted my save and restarted last night and didn't use the pre-order ship. What a difference that made. I got the hyperdrive blueprints and I'm more or less set. The next task on my agenda after work is to get the warp cell going.
At the space stations (and trading posts), you can go up to the ships parked near yours and talk to their owners and offer to buy them.
The fancier they look the more expensive they are.
I've had 3 warp crashes now.
The worst part is when you load the game after the crash, it used one of your warp fuels.
Ugh.
Got to play for another three hours last night and explore the two moons orbiting my starter planet.
I've been using the preorder ship, and I didn't have a problem obtaining the blueprints for the hyperdrive. I've been using the pre-order ship since minute one. What happened was that I was following the atlas instructions, and it prompted me to use my hyperdrive to jump to the next system. I did, but I didn't actually want to leave my starting system yet. Anyway, I was in my second star system, on a cold planet, and I was looking around for the resources to build the warp cell, which I had the blueprint for. I didn't have the recipe for antimatter, however. I used a vendor to purchase some antimatter, and made my warp cell, then jumped back to my starting system.
Once in my starting system again, I returned to my starter planet (I wanted to locate the last two animals in my checklist for that planet), an objective popped up directing me to a manufacturing facility. I finished locating my two animals, but found another manufacturing facility and went there. That one didn't have antimatter blueprints, so I went to the one originally marked by Atlas. That one had the antimatter blueprints and was on one of the orbiting moons. I then crafted enough warp cells to top off at 100% fuel, and took off to the second moon, where I'm currently hunting for my last two animals and expanding the slots in my exosuit inventory.
The preorder ship didn't bork my game, but I had to do a little legwork to get back on task, and now I'm all set to explore that second system once I finish my business on this moon. My next task is to procure a new ship with more storage. This trader had one with a ton of slots, but it was 1.5 mill. I only have 200k. Lol

People who are having all these crashes, try and go into Safe Mode and Rebuild Database.
I have not had a single lock up or crash yet. I have been playing 6 hours stints (man time flies with this game)... and never once did it lock up or crash. Went to dashboard to check trophies, paused to get drinks or food, take dog for walk, etc..
Hopefully the Rebuild Database helps.
He did mention they want to add them before. And there is concept art with ATV looking buggy in one of the pictures of the LE Art Book.
