So how do I get warp drive upgrades? I'm sick of being locked out of systems and jumping one star at a time. I have so many upgrades unlocked at tiers 3-4 yet not a single freaking upgrade for my jump drive.

I know some people find the HUD a bit confusing, so here's a little guide that hopefully clears things up for some of you.
BOTTOM LEFT - PLANETARY INFORMATION
- CLIMATE. This bar changes based on the weather and other natural occurrences on your current planet. You should always make sure you're wearing the appropriate protection.
- LIFE SUPPORT. Don't confuse this with your health. This is what's keeping those harsh elements away from your fragile body! This can be repaired quickly and easily.
- PLANET NAME. No explanation needed.
- ATMOSPHERE. This has all of the other basic information about the planet. Temperature is front and center. Radiation & Toxicity levels are just to the right.
BOTTOM RIGHT - QUESTS & UTILITIES
At the very top we have our current quest. This changes all the time, mostly when you get a new upgrade. Below that we have:
- EXOSUIT INVENTORY. This has a meter that fills up. If it's red, it's full!
- JETPACK. You can't fly forever! Make sure this meter doesn't empty when you're over a big chasm! Stop using the jet pack to refill it.
- STAMINA. The more you run (L3) the more the meter drains. Stop running and the meter fills up.
TOP LEFT - HEALTH & SHIELDS
Many of the planets have flora with healing properties. If you find yourself low on health, scan the environment for health. If you still can't catch a break, then head up to the nearest space station. The attendant has the ability to heal you, given you are in good standing with the race.
- SHIELDS. This is represented by the bar at the very top. You can repair these on the go, so don't forget!
- HEALTH. Your health is represented by a row of boxed medical crosses. Each box represents one health node. A single hit will remove one node.
TOP RIGHT - MULTI-TOOL & THREAT LEVEL
- MULTI-TOOL TEMP. The bar up top represents the current temperature of your multi-tool. The longer you hold the button, the hotter the tool. If it overheats, it will have to vent, but that only takes a second or two.
- MULTI-TOOL HEALTH The percentage you see is the health of your multi-tool. The more you use it, the more it degrades. It can be repaired pretty easily with resources that are readily available on all planets.
- MULTI-TOOL MODE This is your current selected mode. As you can see, I have the mining laser activated. If I were to use the boltcaster (switch with Triangle) THR my magazine would be displayed here as well.
- THREAT LEVEL Those boxed diamonds you see on the right show your current threat level. When you do things you're not supposed to be doing, that will raise. The high the level, the stronger and bigger the reinforcements. This will also glow blue if you're currently being scanned by sentinals. Pay attention to the attitude of the sentinals, this information shows up when you land on a planet. You should also be able to see this by pressing the OPTIONS button and highlighting your current planet.
Thanks for that. Very informative. It should be added to the OP.
I played a bit this morning before work - landed on a toxic moon, but not too bad, and just gigantic piles of gold everywhere - i'm mining, selling, mining, selling - I've named it Au.
One question - I chose the Atlas option, and I've found countless containers/doors that need an atlas key - how do i get one of them?

Okay, so I actually do not have Hyperdrive blueprints either (using the pre order ship), what I actually have are Warp Reactor Blueprints (Hyperdrive companion unit).
I was confused and under the assumption that following some transmission gave it to me but nope.
Is there no workaround for this?

You need to craft them via blueprints. Just keep playing and jumping to new systems. Eventually an event will trigger where you acquire blueprints. Also, there are different levels of pass. I've mostly seen V1 and V3 doors so far.
I've heard people say you can find the Hyperdrive blueprints and get lucky, but that's about it for now. Gotta search 'em out. If it makes you feel any better, many of us are in the same boat.
ok, thanks. I've only hyper-jumped once, so I will try some more tonight.
I was just on a planet that had literally 100s of them. Only down side was the sentinels were hyper aggressive and the walkers were everywhere! Have made a couple of suicide runs, have about 8 now. They are all over the planet, it's insane!
Haha. I've been saying this for a while. Don't mine for stuff you don't need and sell, sell, sell.
Hardly ever hear 'inventory full'.
Although after several systems of no mining I've broken my run after finding a nice, foresty, snow planet with towers of gold and full of murrine, and sentinels that don't seem to care. Been mining a couple of hours now and gonna buy myself a fancy ship. As long as I get out of the cold now and then and stay away from the dog-sized praying mantises it's basically paradise.
Quick tip, don't fly into space with a hold stacked with gold. Pirates seem to notice, lol.

Whoa
Found some sort of floating sphere, thought it was a creature, instead it was a resource called Radnox. I'll take a picture if I see another..

Yep, grab em and run
Till you find the most convenient cheese method of your choice for millions :V
Sweet, they were there. Now I'm back in the position I was on my old save, with a better ship and way more tech to play with. edit: oh and 9 jumps closer to the center
Also,
Also,
I had whatever Polo was looking for this time and he gave me an AtlasPass, even though I was all screw Atlas! Woo
I found some Radnox in some flying jellyfish things on a particularly nasty radioactive moon. Also a 5m tall giant teddy bear mascot looking thing.
Strange place...

I'm really enjoying this game now that I have the basics down. I was so lost for a while there, thanks for the tips everyone. Found that bloody Antimatter recipe! Love you guys.
So when the galactic map is open, the orange line is the line to the centre of the universe? I should follow that right.
There is this one bloody star on my map that constantly blinks like it has a selection node around it, its very very subtle but its the only one that does it. WTF is that? I'm curious to go there but I don't want to waste my Warp fuel. I can post a pic if need be, its really subtle on the map. Just emits a triangle around the star every couple seconds.

Holy crap I need to find a planet like that. I need them for some key upgrades.
Yeah. If you see a building with a tall fat radio tower on top of it, that's one that always leads you to a crashed ship. Sadly, crashed ships are a really tiresome upgrade path - there's a 50/50 chance the ship will actually be worse than the one you're using, and almost every module in the ship needs to be repaired or dismantled.
But they don't cost millions, so that's nice.
Also I just got blasted out of the sky by something like five pirate ships. Guess I can't rely on the standard shield and plasma ball cannon anymore. Bye bye cargo space.

Hm. Might be related to one of the other tabs? When you press R1/L1 on the galactic map, different objectives/paths appear.
I really need to start system hopping more; my starter planet was pretty great (was a snowy forest type planet with tons of stuff and locations), spent like 10 or so hours there and got up a pretty good base of money and upgrades. I've warped a few times since though and I keep finding mostly desolate rocks with little life or plants (if any) which just isn't that interesting. One had a decent amount of Gold for the picking but not quite enough to make it worthwhile spending hours there and was getting bored of mining.
Up to an 18-slot Multi-tool (I've seen 20s but my 18 has virtually all the good upgrades and linked so not worth upgrading yet), 32 exosuit slots and a ship with 23 slots. Down to about 800k, exosuit slots are pretty expensive at this point. I need to find a planet that is either interesting to explore or one that is super lucrative, monotony is setting in pretty hard here. Getting a ship that's an upgrade slot-wise is like 5+ million right now. Still haven't seen ANY water either.
Edit: Also zero crashes in what's got to be close to 20 hours of play. No crazy graphical or other bugs either. Really wonder what's up with the crashes, seem to be hitting some folks a ton and others not at all. Shouldn't be any sort of difference between physical or digital copies, and if it was people on beta firmware I feel that would have been quickly identified.

What does the part after the element name mean? Copper // Neutral. What's the neutral part mean?
How huge? I've found some that are one and a half size taller than me but nothing like the huge snake/worm that people were amazed by in some demo a long time back. THey aren't very common (the big ones I've found).
I want a snowy planet *pout*. I've been hoping everytime I go to a planet it's snowy but no such luck
(been to 8 so far. I tend to spend a lot of time on the planets I like so it's not like I haven't played much... probably 15 hours now? Is there a way to tell other than guestimating?).How huge?

Yeah I meant stuff like the worm, I hope they actually exist because I have my doubts.

I didn't do as much exploring as I did combat and trading but I did explore a decent around. I'm enjoying myself in this game...though I wont lie..its been making me want to start ED again.
Not yet but hopefully.

I don't think there is a way to check, and they are mostly rocky. Just curious, does this qualify as lush? It's the densest environment I've found yet with life everywhere and almost the entire planet was laden with underground caves and wide openings into them scattered around. By far the most crowded. My FPS was abysmal. I've found way more tropical environments but this was just packed with life.

It's in free mode, you see that smaller highlighted star? What the hell is that /Steve Martin

Ooh I found a place that had some similar flying snakes like in your screenshot.
I'd say that's pretty lush but I have seen a denser one.

I've probably seen maybe 6 crashes across all games since getting the PS4 on launch day and No Man's Sky has crashed at least a dozen times for me (I've played rather a lot). It's very frustrating.

Playing on PS4 and loving it but I've had the game hard freeze on me then send me to an error screen three times today, is this common at all?

On my first play through (stupid preorder bug) the moon to the starting planet was amazing for good old plutonium. If anyone comes across williamsville a snowy hellhole avoid it you'll be beached for ages trying to find plutonium haha
Speaking of which if I started again does my initial playthrough naming stuff does that stay for someone to find?
I wonder if we will see more named by existing players stuff once the servers are more stable.

Very. I had two crashes in a row just trying to boot the game earlier. I've been getting about 6 a day roughly so far.
