sounds pretty dope to me...
I promised myself I would finish Firewatch before I put it NMS but definitely looking forward to it. Too early to tell, but seems like another Destiny situation where critics and fans are very much hard on the game but a community grows that falls in love with. Can't wait to see what it does sales wise.
Go into low orbit over a planet and look for big asteroids.

So the planet I started out on was decent.
However the very first creature I see? In tall grass scurrying toward me? The thing of bloody nightmares!
It is like a weird Lovecraft inspired spider that uses only two legs (the four limbs on its back just....hang there and slowly move around like hands just waiting to grab you and pull you down in the deep dark abyss)
Also this thing is a herbivore...and very friendly, which meant they followed me around after I fed them.

Thanks I'll give it a shot. So far the big ones have been iron and emeril, but I might try a different area.
Especially in the early game, it's not worth hoarding anything at all.
I just discovered Venom Sacs on this planet, and figured out by accident how insanely valuable they were lol. I went to go sell some stuff and noticed the one Venom Sac I had was worth 0ver 26,000CU. There all over the place too lol. The only catch is that the minute you start mining one, the bastards send Elite Sentinel killers after you. So I go out, grab about 5-6 of them, run back into the outpost, and then sell them and head out.

Haven't left this place in two days, this is one of the smaller mounds. Pictures don't do it justice.
I explored a similar planet, needless to say I don't want to farm Emeril ever again. It did get me to 40 suit slots but I don't think I have the strength to push forward to 48 with Emeril anyways.
Just found a thing I named Tommy - The Rasta Tomato which has taken a real liking towards me. It follows me everywhere.

Yup. I know a lot of people are feeling "duped" for whatever reason. I went in with very little thought of what the game SHOULD be, and just played it for what the game IS.
What they made is something very interesting and different. While we can talk about clunky controls, and/or a few other technical issues....I think the game succeeds in delievering a different kind of experience.
The only thing Ultra is shadows and they still flicker and are blocky.
The game is very very VERY blurry on PC, even downscaled.
It all uses 100% CPU at all times, dropping to 0fps for stuttering and cutting out my voice in Skype while it does so.
Not the greatest PC version I have ever played. The FOV as well just feels WRONG.

Anyone on PC tried Cheat Engine yet?
I love NMS and I love X (X3 especially), and the two are really nothing alike.
This means there are pirate ships attacking something somewhere near the distress beacon. It just gives you the general area, then you just look for small fighters attacking some bigger cargo ships and then , if you feel like a hero, you can swoop in and save the day. If you and your ship are up to the task.
I go through bouts of actively searching out the the knowledge cylinders, etc. I've found several dozen words and still most of the communications with aliens are largely gibberish. The occasional word has helped give me a hint, but not as much as I'd like for the effort I've put into it.
Well this is annoying: I spent a couple of hours yesterday hunting for 12 different species on a moon for a 300,000 unit reward. I found 11 yesterday and the final one today, but now there's no reward to claim on the discoveries page, online or offline.
Edit: a bunch of planets where I haven't found many species are showing as 100% complete. Looks like it's a glitch.

Glad I went PS4 then. The worse thing this game does visual wise besides some of the Franken-fauna is the normal looking trees...they're awful and make the planets look awful overall. The alien-looking flora, tree-like forms look pretty decent at times.
Edit: The metallic rocks look quite nice as well but I'm rather sick of looking at and interacting with them.

It drives me crazy when games do that
There are a few of these "forbidden" resources:
Not really spoilers but just in case anyone wants to be surprised when you pick one up
Gravitino Orbs
Vortex Cubes
Venom Sacs

If you find one of the planets dotted with them and can make a quick run with a decent inventory to and from the space station, it's pretty damn awesome; an on-planet trading post may or may not be more efficient depending on what the station is paying for them. Just watch out as the valuable cargo will attract pirates en route to the space station. I think the more you have the bigger the force, I've even been hit by groups of 6. Generally you're safe to make it back to your grave and make the return trip again unless you get really unlucky.

I am taking the Atlas path but strange enough, looking at the yellow path to the Galactic Center and the Blue Atlas path I'm on, it's strange that my current path is taking me an way that makes me actually travel further away from the center.
Hopefully this makes more sense in due time.

OMFG, I didn't know something that monstrous was possible in this game.

Whats a warp cell and how to I craft/find one?
Do you have any active quests? They will guide you toward crafting your first one.

I don't believe so. How do I activate a quest lol

Has anyone else been encountering this weird bug where sometimes you get into your ship and are suddenly blasted off into space?
Uhh. What have you done so far, what is it telling you to do in the bottom right?
Just experienced this for the first time twice in a row, hilarious bug, very disorienting. like your launch thrusters are taking steroids

I've only jumped 3 times, (once toward the center, once backward to return to my starting planet) but yesterday I got an
Atlas path

It took a while (~2 minutes), but when I checked for recent discoveries a few hours ago it got there eventually.
Afforded it through selling loads of gold and trade items. It was the only stuff I really purchased aside from a lone MT upgrade, before I finally left the planet.
I just flew low and landed at a bunch of random places for awhile. Flying low gives you a better handle on what's a drop pod and what isn't, as you can see its shape pretty clearly. Transmission beams are everywhere and again, easily spotted by flying low enough to make out the orange beam shooting into the sky. There's no way to mark your map manually, which is a bummer. But if you discover a location via those beams you need bypass chips for, then their location icons will persist until you reach them, which is helpful. I usually just use three chips or so to get three locations perma-marked on my map, then just fly towards one of them and stop off every once in a while at random places that I see.

If you accepted the Atlas at the beginning (big red orb) quest info will be in the bottom right of the screen. Some quest steps appear like tool tips, such as go to the Galactic map to warp to another system.

Which one is that and do you have it directly connected for the bonus?

every facet of this game that isn't a direct ripoff of the mobile/Steam roguelike Out There is awful.
it's ugly, obtuse, and clunky.

I use to love reading those choose your own adventure books when I was a kid. You could really let your imagination run wild. They've made a great game, it's just a pity most people just don't get what it is they were trying to create and achieve. I had a skim through some of the reviews that are coming out and I just shook my head. They just didn't get it at all. Well done to Sean and HG I say.

Lol my forever quest is to apparently 'redeem unclaimed items in the menu'
Wish I could disable it. *sobs*
that never switches out with anything else?
For a warp cell you need antimatter. If you can't craft it you can check the space station inventory.
Twitter is an asshole magnet. It is allows jerks to yell out of their car at anyone in the world.
On topic, does it bug anyone else that the location beacons with orange light will find you the closest of a given building, even if it is one that you have already visited? That's the only time I wish I had a map of a planet.

Just redeem it. It doesn't break anything unless you swap it out for another ship before getting the hyperdrive blueprint from the quest, but the quest still gives you the hyperdrive blueprint even if you have the pre order ship.

Those have always been Freighters being attacked by pirates for me
If you activate it again and choose the same option, it will (or may?) send you to another location. I've done this a few times. No real clue how it chooses them. But yeah, when you choose a building of the type you're at and it just points back to the waypoint sucks.
