You've always got the goal of the galactic centre. It's always there and the game is always nudging you to look at the galactic map. Planning and journeying to the centre can take up all of your time like a full activity.
Plus there are loads of other "objectives" and also your first 10-15 hours are mainly just excitedly learning all the game systems, not unlike a Souls game

Want to share a few nice spots I found.
Why are you changing it to a worthless currency when you can have the COAT?Fixed.
But this planet, up to 3 mill so far and emeril keeps popping up everywhere, gonna be tough to leave!
I think that person is wrong - if you use your Scanner on buildings /bases/ruins, they get a little white dot in your compass and hud. I've seen this throughout the system after I've "tagged" them
No idea man but its not even the crashes as much as the blueprint bug.
Its this shit. No I dont already have it. And its not just this blueprint, its every one. Ive been finding cool shit but none of them show up in my inventory.
Totally game breaking for me and I think I may put it down until it gets fixed.
I tried loading an older save. Still happens. I pretty much cant upgrade anything at this point.
And Im waaaay the fuck to far to start over.
Well I guess I could farm gravitinos until the cows come home.
Blueprints let you craft. The items don't show up in the inventory. I'm confused.
What's the actual bug?

The blueprints do not appear in my blueprint inventory so I cant craft them. It says I already know them but I do not.

Helps that sentinels are borderline braindead.
I took one of those balls and hopped in a hole in the ground and they lost track of me.

So just bought this on my phone on Steam from work. Is there a preload?
You can just keep moving to avoid them by dashing around, unless you get unlucky you can keep farming rapid-fire, at least on this vortex cube world. It rules,
Press X on empty slots to craft tech blueprints
Press Square on empty slots to craft consumables
You pressing X yeah?
If you can, upgrade your multitool with the plasma launcher and the homing grenade recipe. Makes quick work of drones. Having just spent a bunch of time on a planet with sentinels in the "Frenzied" state, it was a godsend.

Can someone explain to me how progression works if I ignore the Atlas path?

Oh yeah. I know how it works. Im getting all the Omega shit and above now.. well not now.
I think I will look for a newship and see if that fixes anything.

No preload. Game will just be releasing 5pm GMT (6pm BST, 1pm EST, 10am PST)
Nope. Thankfully the game is tiny (>3gb).

There is but it's cumbersome. Basically pull up your map. Then I think it's up on the dpad to scan for discoveries. Then you select nearest and it will turn systems you've been to near by. From there you can set a waypoint and it will show a path to it. Usually this path is systems you've been too. That's how I got from the first atlas station back to my starting system. Worst case do that and warp system by system which you'll probably have to do anyway.
Same bug, dude. Had the level 3 stamina and jetpack taunting me for ages but I can't access them. Really fucking annoying!
Ah well, this sentinel free-vortex cube world I've found is making me a rich man without a care in the world!

Finally managed to boot it up and get a solid 2-3 hrs
Positives
- graphics imo are outstanding
- the feel of space to planet etc is just awesome
- galaxy map is just mindblowing when you realise every one of them is a place you can go
- I spent a good 20 mins alwarching ships land in the space station , some of there designs were awesome it's just a pity I couldn't afford them lol
Negatives
- walk and run speed I feel is slow
- lots of inventory management (God I wish we had more space)
- there is a lot to take in , definitely no real hand holding , getting the hang of it now but definetely was overwhelmed at first
- lack of variety of outposts / buildings is abit disappointing
- I wish there less reliance on Fuel / life support , would love to just use the ship to travel
Having said that I can't wait to get more into it and hopefully find some lush planets . I also look forward to future updates (maybe they will give us a ground vehicle)

Drones are aggressive on a per-planet basis. Move along to another planet and they might not touch you at all.
I don't think there's a difficulty curve like that. At least not in Euclid...

Damn. Looks like I'll be getting some sleep early, and then waking up early so I can get some playtime in on my shift.
Awesome. Should only take a few minutes then. Thanks!
Run, hit melee then instantly hit jetpack. You'll go flying, repeat to keep up the speed. Makes running around on foot fun.

Call me crazy, but I'm initially quite disappointed with this game. It doesn't look very good and I don't find it very fun to play either. The same annoying drones has been present on every planet I've gone to so far, and the worlds don't really look that different to me, except for the colors.
Maybe it's just me though.

My work around I guess will be to farm my gravitinos until I can buy a ship with the upgrades I want. Fucking hell.

I just found what is basically an amorphic blob with eyes crawling around in a cave.
That was cool. So far I'v hit about 20 worlds and biodiversity hasn't been an issue for me. Yeah you see bi and quadrupedal creatures the most, but you also get a lot of unique stuff. I found 30 foot tall spiders on my last planet.
Coincidentally I also fled that planet without so much as mining a rock.

It's not just you, although you will probably find you are a lone voice in the OT.
Ughhhhh game just crashed again while scanning a species. Guess that is a sign to call it a night. Planet sucked anyway.
Just happened to me and I gave up after like 2 hours of searching. Mining asteroids will get you 175,000 faster haha. Look in water, caves, or in the sky.

I'm on a huge planet with just one species left to scan to wrap up a reward of 175,000 credits, but I just keep running into the same ones I've already found.
There are dragonfly/bird things flying around overhead, but I can't seem to get close enough to them, or to keep them in focus for long enough, to scan them. They constantly fly away from me. Dots appear on them in scan mode, but I have no idea if they're the last species I need or not.
Any tips?

Yesterday I mined what I would've called 'Huge F'n pillar of Gold' if I could name landmarks too. It was quite close to a space port, so after cashing around 1500 nuggets of gold (the complete pillar + some smaller goldmines in the neighberhood) I bought a new ship. Lost some of my recourses because the ship had a more extra upgrades then cargo slots, so it might not have been the best idea buying that one. The prospect of getting a new ship was to big though and after breaking down some unwanted upgrades I'm back on my old amount of cargo space in a better ship.
Jumped to my third system afterwards. The last one was a literal goldmine, so I imagine going back there later on for harvesting and then trading in other systems were gold fetches a higher price. But I'm glad I'm on a new system now, as the last one was pretty barren apart from one snowy planet. Really looking forward to arriving on a lush, not radioactive planet again

I'm having the same issue with some of them. I get a new blueprint or a "blueprint already known" message, but when I go to try to make it, it's not in my blueprint menus.
I've been guessing that you need the earlier versions of a tech to craft the later ones, but that's just a guess and some wishful thinking because this would be a devastating bug. Early on, I got a blueprint for the tech that lets you stay underwater longer. I went to see if I could make it, and it wasn't there. Later, I got another version of it, and now both are there. (It is, of course, possible that I picked up a third version of it and forgot.)
Definitely in the camp right now where I need something exciting to happen.
Biggest danger for me is that I'm losing the excitement of the sense of discovery. I'm doubting that anything I can see on planets is actually worth seeing, and seem to be stuck in a rut where I'm basically grinding for the materials I need to just hop it to the next system.
I just want to find a world that's got more to it than the occassional monolith or outpost, with variant weather on a mostly dead rock.

Just found an awesome system... 5 planets and emiril and gold everywhere.
I also found this weird large fly trap type thing with eyes around the base, and I interacted with it, just said Mystery something, and I couldn't scan it. When I opened it I got some weird pearl type item.
Guessing it was something similar to vortex cubes, cause sentinels attacked me right away.

Try your hand at attacking traders flying by on a planet. That's fun.
Definitely learn to melee boost around. Look for drop pods to expand your inventory. If you find a signal scanner (big red beam of light), you can craft a Bypass Chip in your inventory and use it to select "Shelter" which usually directs you right to a drop pod.
You either get lucky scanning when they fly straight for a split second, or get close and shoot them down and scan them once dead..if you can find them if they fall in grass. Pain in the arse!

The last species to scan on this planet is some birds I only saw once. Are people just shooting them down with the boltcaster? Last time I saw them I couldn't scan or shoot them no matter what I tried.
Edit: apparently we're all thinking the same thing already

Kill the birds then scan them.
Picked this up yesterday, mostly just because I'm such a fan of Elite Dangerous. It's not really fair to compare the two games, but luckily what I liked most in Elite was the exploration and NMS has it in abundance. My main complaint so far (still early on in the game, only just got the hyperdrive) is how tedious inventory management and re-powering up stuff is.
I find playing it very slow paced and relaxing though. It's a great title to just unwind and look around. I really like the fact you can't understand the aliens by default and end up learning words here and there

Why the hell did i not think to shoot them down ! Genius
Galactic Fork
A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
OK, this is my favorite animal discovery!
Enjoying the game but i think it would have been a lot better if some planets were just devoid of life and some were just liquid planets (like on interstellar).
Also if one in every couple million had intelligent life with whole cities that would be incredible (although understandably hard to do).
The game is a good start by hello games but there is so much room for improvement that i hope they consider making a sequel

Saying this as someone who hasn't played it yet, but repetition is to be expected. With 18 quintillion planets, you are going to have at the same time the most variety ever in a game and the most repetition, all at the same time. Millions of planets will be nigh identical aside from small variables, while some will be worlds apart. Nature of the sheer numbers. This is what makes it awesome IMO. Mimics our our universe, and makes you contemplate just how NOT unique Earth probably is in reality.
I've found some barren ones. Now if you mean completely barren, no shelters/save spots, yeah that would be pretty cool.
