Finally did one of those distress signal things after god knows how many hours in this game.

Always put it off because the thought of fighting 28 attack ships is not really enticing. Well I should have let it rest.

It's fucking nothing.

You get the paltry amount of cargo the ships that you defeat have and once you've killed them all you get a standing increase with the faction who you just defended.

Lol, never again.
 
My latest planet has

Big mountains of Emril
Gold crystals
Pearls
Gravitino Balls everywhere, some bases have upto 10 on the outer edge of them.

Trouble being the sentinels are very hostile, i can just be walking round and they will attack on sight.



I've also seen some monsterous wildlife, one thing looked like a t-rex had mated with a white fluffy bunny, i named it Bunnyasaurus Rex

pulse grenade + homing upgrade + best damage upgrade you can find= problems solved.
 
So,

I already bought Starbound (in its early access hype) but have not really played it much.

Would I be better off digging into Starbound or jumping in with this?

It seems like they are similar games, but Starbound might have more meat on it's bones? While No Man's Sky looks way better?

They kind of seem very different to me actualy but Starbound certainly has more to do. Your options in the gameplay loop are pretty limited in NMS. Perhaps even heavily funnelled via the RNG blueprint drops combined with the resource management loop.
 
I feel I should do this with gold :(

How did you get that much currency???
 
Really wish there were a way to "pin" specific upgrade requirements to your HUD so you can easily track needed resources. There have been a couple times where I manage to forget about one I'm going for and sell something I remember I need ten seconds later.

You can Pin blueprints, press triangle over it.
 
I'm guessing it gets easier to make money the further into the game you are.

Just got an element crafting blueprint for
Magmax? I think that's the name
that sells for 30k per unit. All it requires is plutonium, thamium9 and carbon which can be found almost everywhere.

But there is? You can only pin one at a time though. Press triangle over the upgrade.

SB is more of a game. NMS feels different, it's feels important and like a watershed moment for games but there isn't much do to besides explore new planets and see what the algorithm cooks up.

I love both games dearly btw

Just got this two minutes ago myself!

What the hell. I get attacked by a hostile ship, I destroy it. And then I get attacked by three sentinel ships because I destroyed the space pirate. I mean what gives? That's total horse shit, I can't outrun being attacked, so my only option is self defense, and I get punished for survival...

I was getting scanned as I was approaching a new planet and then chased for my freight. I entered the atmosphere and managed to lose the pirate, thankfully.
 
so how do you get back on the atlas path? still on first planet, accepted atlas at ship crash site, and went off. but now i have the hyperdrive i go into galactic map and theres only 2 options, path to core and free explore. obviously i cant go back to the very start because theres no map in this game...i think when i have loaded saves the game will occasionally forget my waypoints or destinations but sometimes these arent forgotten. i'm wondering if it forgot i'm on atlas path.

should i just go on the path to core or is there a way to resume atlas path?
 
Sadly, no.

The only flowers on this planet are Carbon.

I'm really screwed unless I find a settlement with trader access. That means perhaps hours of walking. Not sure I'm up for that.
They're not that uncommon! I wouldn't give up. Run, then press melee and jetpack to travel faster. Easier than running everywhere.
 
The first system I warped to had actually been discovered by another player. When I got to the system, a grave maker showed up, so I flew to it and collected one item (not sure if my inventory was close to full or if that was all that was there).

Anyone have something similar happen? I think the item in that grave was an item I had in my inventory when I died right before warping. I didn't bother to go back to the grave because I didn't care about the items I had lost, so I'm not sure if the game was giving me a second chance to collect my items or if you can actually collect items from other players' graves if you come across them?

just continue on the path to the core, you'll eventually cross paths with atlas again
 
Without purposely trying, has anyone stumbled across a system or planet that has already been discovered by another player? Wondering if there are any amusing names.

Yeah, my first path to atlas, the whole line was discovered by another player, but they didn't name anything. looks like they were just passing through, visit one planet and on to the next. So nothing funny, but I'm hoping people find mine eventually :P
 
Spent the last 6 hours going through dem black holes.

10k light years away from CENTRE!

I'm almost there.

I sure hope reaching the core is like this

Because if not, fuck this game.
 
looked that up yesterday on youtube

this is the way I like to play max all things

hope to get maxed out before they patch it

Yup same. I'm 8 exo suit slots away from max and my ship is at 35. I'm hoping to max those both out and then hover around 70 mil of units and just enjoy the game since there is no real end game.
 
Sorry to bother, yet again.

But what do the shield shards do. ?

They let you repair your Suit Protection. Things like the Environment stuff for Toxic, Cold, Heat, and Radioactive.

Normally that stuff wants you to use Zinc to repair it, but the Shield Shards are better to use because Zinc is more valuable and harder to come by.

Also once you learn the recipe for the Shielding Plate which is only 50 Iron, you can use it for repairing your Ship deflector and environmental protections as stated above and you can save your Zinc for more important crafting needs.
 
I've been looking at some of the old media footage of this game (E3 stuff) and after playing the game it's so obvious that all the locations and world in those footage were pre programmed.

I mean every video they showed had a lush planet full of grass, lots of various creatures (including fish and dinosaurs), lots of space ships near the planet (like 10-15), and warping to a new system only took like 3 seconds (this can only happen if most of the parameters are pre set and don't really need to be randomly generated). Even the terrain was perfect as in plain and seamlessly transitioning to a water body (in real game the terrain is very uneven) and there were lots of beacons close together. But in the 7-8 hours I've played 99% of the planets have been barren with little or no foliage, one or two animals here and there and most of them have been hazardous.

Now I always suspected the E3 showings were hand crafted and there is nothing wrong with it because you want to show your game at its best. But the problem is that the kind of experience seen in the E3 videos were what made the game look exciting in the first place. The actual game on the other hand becomes very dull due to the fact that eventhough it does have all of those listed above you never really find it in such a concentrated manner thereby making it less intriguing.
 
Well, that's just it, the ship won't launch without repairing the pulse engine :( When I try to take off, it pops up saying it's damaged.




Yep, can't find any at all. The only things that remotely look like flowers just give carbon :(

Do you have any tech you can dissemble that would give you zinc?

there is an option to pin things but it's actually not very useful (press triangle with a recipe/blueprint highlighted)
 
Sorry for all these questions.

So a few pages ago i was saying i had one more animal to find. But i found one that i hadn't seen before but that wasn't it. And in the journal there still on more entry with ???????

Is there any way to narrow this down, so i can leave the planet. Cause i ain't coming back to this system once i leave it.

As always thanks in advance.

Ahhh. Thank you.
 
Played a little bit more today and decided not to get a refund. For as much as the game lacks in fun things to do when it comes to exploration, being able to go from planet to planet and seamlessly land on them is cool as hell.

Still interested to see what they're going to add to the game over time. The talk of adding base building makes me wonder what else they might do later.
 
So is the scale for the planet/player actually the same for as a real person on Earth?

I think I read something like this prior to the game's release, but I'm not sure.
