For curiosity sake, I bet most people that are enjoying this game are "old". How old are you space cadets?

31 here.

25. Now, you wouldn't think that's old but when I went to buy a bus ticket it said that I no longer qualify for the "young people and students" ticket prices since I'm older than 24. So there's that I guess.

wasted 1 hour of searching animals because of game crash

fuck off

Ive learned to save regularly, so hop back in and out of your ship, save at the question mark spots.

Just found my third space anomaly

Has anyone gone to a green/red/blue starsystem yet?
 
Hey is the Steam Release time usually accurate?

This is what it currently says:

"This game will unlock in approximately 1 day and 7 hours"

I'm in Seattle, but isn't that Saturday?

Well I'm 26 and I would have hated this 2 years ago. Guess we've found the cut off! :p
 
Yep. :( I wanted to follow the tutorial objectives up to the point of getting the warp drive, but then I was planning on going back and finishing up my starting planet. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard, given that I had only warped one system away, but it was nowhere to be found. I named it and everything (only system and planet I've bothered doing that with), but nope. Not there.

Has anyone managed to find their way back to their starting system? It would really suck if you somehow can't.

I warped one system over and then went back to my starting one. If you've warped several systems away you should be able to connect the dots through the options menu of systems you've visited.
 
Got a new ship. Cannon is at 0% but I still can fire it. Game won't stop telling me to recharge it but I can't. Glitched? :/

Got this ship btw (not my pic)



Sucks if it's glitched, I can't roll back a save.

Dang it seems like a gltich. It has happened to me too. My cannons are at 0% but still fire. And I can't put any resources into it. Strange. It looks like it stays with you until you get a new ship too which sucks. Hopefully it's patched super soon.

Weird, but one thing:
Regardless, the limited edition boxes do nothing to quell the fury of some fans convinced No Man's Sky has launched without a key component they were expecting.
Calling MP a "key component" when it's also "infinitely unlikely" is one hell of a stretch.

I didn't follow this game at all before release, so maybe there is more to that thanI'm aware of, but from the snippets I picked up through screenshots and osmosis the game is pretty much as I expected it to be.

I think I'm stuck and will have to restart. I found a crashed ship and decided to take it, but the thing is, I need Heridium to repair the thrusters. The problem is after searching this extremely toxic plant for hours I can't find a Heridium rock anywhere. Has this happened to anyone else? Am I boned?

I just switched back to my original ship. One you swap, you can just swap back

I think it's very frustrating that placing similar tool/suit/ship upgrades next to each other increases their effectiveness, but you can't just pick up and move things around in the menus. Either get it right first time or dismantle everything and try again, and god forbid you get another upgrade which means you'll have to do it all over again. Seems needlessly complicated.
 
CAn I sell my ship to buy a new one or just buy new one ?
How to scan birds ?
How to swim without drawning ?
I wanna piggyback on this and ask what happens to your old ship when you buy a new one? I assume if you find a new one on a planet you obviously leave behind your old one but if you buy a new one does your old one stay chillin in the space port?

What are you supposed to do if you get lost/stuck in a large cave system and you don't have any grenades? This was close to happening to me early in the game, but luckily I found my way out. But what if you can't? Some caves only have roof holes you can enter and exit through, and it's feasible (I think) that it's too high up for you to jetpack out of. There's no respawn button, no suicide pill, so what do you do? Has anyone gotten truly stuck?

If you use your jetpack when pressed hard against a wall, it has infinate fuel and will carry you out of the deepest caves

I bought a ship in a station to a PNG, my old ship left there. Hours later it was still sititng there... :(

How I mine for fish?

Small birds can be a pain, you just have to get closer. If they're simply too high I think you'll have to follow them until there is something to stand on. Or try shooting them and scanning the body? No idea if that works.

(Thanks for the tip!)
 
My first planet is basically tentacle world, Full of Purple tentacle bushes that look like something out of day of the tentacle and I found a Tentacruel pokemon!

Not bad for my first planet

I seriously don't know why I even bother upgrading my multi-tool anymore. In the span of four hours I went from a 12 to a 14 to a 16 to a 18 multi-tool.

Haven't used it yet, but I do have an upgrade that allows underwater breathing.
Also, haven't done it myself, but folks say shoot the bird down and scan it's cold dead body. I'm guessing you need an upgraded weapon - )i also have an upgrade I haven't used that shoots in a cone shape).
 
What do you mean? Why would finding bigger multitools stop you from upgrading?

I mean that I'm wasting resources that are hard for me to find. I already unlocked the level 3-5 upgrades (3-4 for the mining, couple of 5s for the blaster), and every single time I need to redo everything.

I threw away stuff that I could've used for my exosuit and/or ship on something that didn't even last an hour.
 
One thing I've noticed, correct me if im wrong, but the planets dont rotate.

We should stop seeing other planets on the horizon, depending of the day time, because of the rotation right?

Not really important.

You don't transfer your upgrades to the new tool? Hold down triangle when you're comparing them to switch it over to the bigger one.

Or have I misunderstood the issue?

You can't transfer upgrades afaik. The new tool usually comes with better upgrades and more slots, if not there's no point in upgrading.

Jetpacks are broken for me. If you press yourself against a rock etc that is straight going up and use your jetpack it never runs out.

My problem is actually a story thing. The prompt on the bottom right corner stays the same even though I built the upgrade for the jetpack.

Like.... all upgrade tech that you have the recipe for actually, to some extent, you can even just install and dismantle on the fly as needed, right? If you're on a super cold planet and have the recipe and mats for the thermal layer or whatever, or a watery one and need the breathing thing. I think you get half of what the recipe calls for for dismantling.

Exactly. Precisely what I meant.

The upgrade nodes in your exosuit, ship and multitool? Don't get attached to most of them. If you need a particular resource or need space, delete away. In most cases you'll still have the schematic.

Just make sure it's nothing you need immediately and that you have the schematic to rebuild it when you need it.

You can do that? That's another thing on my TIL list. I can tell there are going to be lots along the way.

I may actually buy the guide for this game, just to spell some of this stuff out (and a glossary)

Sucks to hear. I wonder that even if I can shoot my cannon is nerfed or something. Luckily I've not been attacked by space pirates yet....

That's by design, so you don't get stuck. It even says it in the game, that's how you 'climb'.

I didn't know you could put upgrades next to eachother for a boost. Does the game ever tell you this? Is there a way to move an upgrade once it's built? Equally, when you get a new multi-tool is there a way to transfer your tech over to it or do I have to rebuild everything?
