No Man's Sky: Foundation Update (v1.1)

I'm actually enjoying the Base Building, quests and all. I also found a massive Freighter. Time to save up and hope it's still at the system I left it in.

I have seen one with a spherical head since the update. That one is more of a saucer, so not quite the same. The one I saw looked a lot like the ship from 2001: A Space Oddyssey, actually.

Ah yeah I saw that too. Must be new, I don't remember it from before.
But I love the one I linked with that kind of shield on the front. Hopefully they didn't remove it :( will keep looking
 
So I have a mission where I'm supposed to investigate an ancient ruin for Albumen Pearls...but it won't pop up on my map. He keeps saying he marked it, but it never shows up.

Any ideas?

Are freighters still limited to static types? I guessed I assumed since they're now purchasable they'd also be procedurally generated like the other ships.

Ah, hadn't thought about that. Could be, altough I saw many freighters and still haven't seen a front like that :(

Anyway I bought the one with the spherical head, pretty cool. Hopefully I'll stumble across the one I mean

A video I did on all the new elements and where to look for them:

Thanks for this video, it helps getting a better perspective on the new elements and resources. In addition, I'd like to mention a few things that might be useful to people as well as a reminder for myself, since I'm still not used to the new resources. Also, I still haven't bought a freighter, so maybe there are more recipes related to them?

So here are the main Base Building groups and the rough basic requirements for them, mostly ordered by importance/frequency of use:
Structure: Iron, while Glass and Heridium only for Glass Roofed Corridor
Infrastructure: Carbon, Iron
Containers: Iron, Voltaic Cell
Decals: Iron
Cuboid Rooms: Iron, Glass, Heridium
Lights: Heridium, Voltaic Cell
Farming: Iron, Zinc, Thamium9. Antrium (there's probably more here, I'm stuck with progressing the farming questline atm)
Tech: (I'm listing these separately because Tech is kind of a special group with various requirements)
  • Beacon: Voltaic Cell, Carite Sheet
  • Save Point: Platinum, Iron
  • Signal Booster: Platinum, Iron
  • Landing Pad: Voltaic Cell, Non-ferrous Plate, Lubricant
  • Communications Station: Iron
  • Autonomous Mining Unit: Voltaic Cell, Insulating Gel, Copper Wire
Decoration: Iron, Zinc, Heridium, Voltaic Cell, very few Glass, Dynamic Resonator and Copper Wire
Specialist Terminals: Iron
Room Parts: Iron, Glass and Voltaic Cell, while Emeril and Circuit Board just for the Galactic Trade Terminal (btw, Circuit Board so far is used only for the Galactic Trade Terminal and needs 10 of 'em)
Click to expand...

So as a rough look at these base building requirements, the most important resources and craftable items are Iron, Voltaic Cell, Glass (mostly for decorative purposes), maybe a bit less of the much more common old elements like Carbon, Heridium, Platinum, even fewer instances of Thamium9 (Farming) and Zinc and only one or two special instances of Copper Wire (Decoration, Autonomous Mining Unit and Circuit Board for the Galactic Trade Terminal), Circuit Board (Galactic Trade Terminal), Non-ferrous plate (Landing Pad) and Lubricant (also Landing Pad).

With that in mind, half of the new elements seem to have no apparent use, so these are the most important new resources:
Antrium:
- Voltaic Cell (Containers, Beacon, Autonomous Mining Unit, Lights, Room Parts, Landing Pad, Decoration)
- Non-ferrous Plate (Circuit Board, Landing Pad)
- Farming (Bloodsbane (Sac Venom), Gravitino Orb)
Coryzagen:
- Glass (Structure, Cuboid Rooms, Decoration, Room Parts)
Candensium:
- Non-ferrous Plate (Circuit Board, Landing Pad)
Rigogen:
- Copper Wire (Circuit Board, Autonomous Mining Unit)
Mordite:
- Lubricant (Landing Pad)
Spadonium:
- Insulating Gel (Autonomous Mining Unit)
Temerium:
- Insulating Gel (Autonomous Mining Unit)
- Acid (no use?)
Click to expand...

And these resources seem to have no use at the moment?
Fervidium: Poly-fibre (no use?), Explosive (no use?)
Coprite: Explosive (no use?)
Tropheum: (no use?)
Cymatygen: (no use?)
Rubeum: (no use?)
Viridium: (no use?)
Pugneum: (no use?)
Click to expand...


tl;dr
Antrium (all glowing plants on the ground, mostly in caves or cave openings and plateaus) is probably the most useful new element since it's used for the most useful new stuff like the Voltaic Cell, Containers, the Beacon, Farming etc.
Coryzagen (the blue crystalline plant) is used only for Glass, which in turn is mostly used for decorative purposes and some room parts.
Thankfully, Rigogen (the elusive inverse chandelier underwater plants), Candensium (small green plants in radioactive biomes) and Mordite (dropped from killed animals) are really only used (so far) for the Galactic Trade Terminal and the Landing Pad.
The rest of the recipes and building pieces mostly use Iron (which is really easily mined by throwing a grenade at a dense group of stalagmites), Heridium, Platinum, Zinc, Thamium9 and Carbon.

Nicely done! I guess I'd better upgrade from my Sigma warp drive.

I wish they'd chill on the hokey names though. Rubium, Tropheum. They spend all this time creating these gorgeous, breathtaking worlds and then name one of their races Vy'keen. It takes me out of the immersion, you know? The Atlas Path story was actually quite good, as are the bits of lore at the alien monoliths. So not knocking the narrative quality per se, but just the silliness on top. Maybe that's just me though.

I'd hazard a guess that the new elements with little or no use currently are there for whatever the upcoming new feature are. They named the update as 'Foundation' for a purpose.

Seems like a pretty handy post, thank you!
 
Anyone unlocked those garage doors yet? Also I can't seem to get the elevated, outdoor floor tiles to build. Don't know what half the building stuff is for actually. lol
 
My Base Terminus only shows the last space station I teleported from. Is there a way to list multiple space stations that you have teleported to/from? I thought I saw images listing multiple stations.

I've only been to two stations since I started building and both are listed. Not sure what I did, if anything, to make both show up.

Did you teleport back to your base from the other systems? That's all I did when I went to another system, and now it shows up in my base teleporter list.
 
Just got to my fourth solar system and the first planet I explore is filled with suit upgrades, 5-6 so far. Never seen them before. Awesome!
