Kill them or stop mining when they are looking at you
Just shoot at em. They stop hunting you after a while.
...and make place for the space police
Don`t mine to much ressources, don`t kill animals.
Scan constantly. You get it after mining a tall dark blue monolith; once you see it, you will know that is.
I got a fucking MGS walker robot called on my for mining plutonium crystals. Bitch ass sentinels are like the police that have APCs and tanks.

the POI that get placed on your HUD permanently... I scanned while in space and it placed a marker on a giant heridium deposit that wont go away.

Just got out of a pretty big battle over some shipping containers. I warped into a system when I got a notification that battle was going on and the shipping vessels were asking for help.
There were about 12 pirates, I took down 7 of them before they took me out. One of them had a bunch of gold on him, so that was good.
It also looks like you can continue the Atlas path despite not accepting guidance earlier in the game. At one point, I was given three choices.
I chose Atlas because there's something kinda strange there and I want to learn more.

Exploration Resources. Harness the power of Black Holes and path of the Atlas.
The back hole one sound cool, too. It seemed like a shortcut towards the core by using black holes to warp around faster.

Haven't done this in a while, put in 13+ hours today. Was able to get around the warp drive issue from using the preorder ship by finding a crashed ship and it made the hyperdrive quest start over.
I love No Mans Sky but I can see how it is definitely not for everyone. Had a friend ask if he should get it and I told him to borrow mine first to make sure he likes it. If I had to guess on an average critic score I would say 70-75.

Hahahahahahaha, you gotta be kidding me.
Cool, that's the way I was hoping it was handled. I just got thrown off by one of the IGN interviews with Sean where I thought he said the planet would look different if he came back there, but I must have misunderstood the point he was making.
Bummer about the lack of notes. I really wanted to leave some messages on planets that future travelers to that planet would be able to discover, along with seeing what others may write.
There's a tab that tracks your quickest path to the center.
Played for an hour or two yesterday. I had a blast, allthough I can see this being the type of game I will enjoy for an hour or 20 and then just be fed up with it. (but 20 hours is good in my book!)
Explored the two planets and one moon in my start system, allthough I haven't discovered everything on them yet. Not sure if I'll keep exploring them, or just go to the next system.
I was a bit confused when I redeemed my preorder ship by the way. I didn't do it right away to not spoil the beginning of the game where you fix your ship, but I did once I landed on another planet. At the time I still needed to craft the hyperdrive, but as the bonus ship has one allready the objectives dissapeared for that. I was at a loss what to do, untill I realized I could just jump to the other system allready.
So I recommend not redeeming the ship for those who are starting, as it gives you a headstart over a fun first few hours.

That's what creature/plant/rock names are for.
killing animals also yields heridium iirc.
After playing the game from midnight to 3am, i'm really excited to get off work today.
I like the balance between ever increasing complexity and your 'experience' with the game steadily making the game more graspable. So far, i'm constantly on the edge between being overwhelmed and thinking "i got a hang of these mechanics now".
The very limited inventory space was a real bummer, initially - since i'm someone who stays on the starting planet for over 2 hours - those "1 of 1" items (that do nothing beyond having trade value, from my experience) really fill up your space quickly.
The "trick" to increase your carrying capacity by choosing "Shelter" at those signal beacons and then hoping for a drop pod was a real life saver. those 3 additional inventory slots so far made exploration a lot more fun because i'm not constantly overburdened.
Oh, also, i wasn't aware you could scan stuff with your "L2" visor until i landed on my 2nd planet. - which is why planet 1 has 0% completion ... daddy's gonna fly back home later today.
Can you fit a few sentences of text for each of those though? I'd just like to jot a few sentences on a virtual paper, drop it off in a cave, and see if it anyone finds it (even if it's years from now).
Haha, okay, sounds like you had serious Problems. So far I only had a short shootout with the flying Scanners after destroying a door.

My first 5 hours and I never left the planet I started in. Just slow exploration.
It's Interstellar: The Game, and I love it.

So, after my initial experience of crashing at the title screen, I've played for a couple hours and things have been good so far (knock on wood). Started on a hazy, windy planet with fortunately no environmental hazards, lots of flora and fauna, and only one species of giant crab that was out for my blood. Quite a lot of resources, including pillars of gold, but had a bit of a panic situation with the Sentinels so I was cautious. (BTW, does "Neutral" mean mining that element won't attract Sentinel attention?)
I got my ship repairs in order, found a couple of waypoints, then headed up into space (I just drifted through the clouds...didn't realize you don't need to boost out). Space is...big.
Apparently I'm in a system with at least three planets (hard to tell what's a moon and a planet). I need to build a hyperdrive, but no idea where to find the blueprint. I found a planet with a beacon, but don't know if that's a narrative thing or a random event.
What I also found was a giant space station, with three locked Atlas doors, and a Gex trader who mumbled to me in words I did not understand. I threw him 10 Units and he became excited, and handed over a ship beam upgrade. Then I walked up to a couple sweet ships docked in the bay (this is a really busy station), and had no idea that
.
Wish I could upload screenshots, but I can't find my thumbdrive. Is there any way to access the PS4 filesystem directly over the network?
It's midnight, but I'm going back in. Gotta find this hyperdrive blueprint, somehow.
p.s. yeah the FOV really does suck. Sean, PLEASE give us FOV options on the PS4. Also, the UI...not a fan so far. Needs some work.

you could trade with them, and each one buys and sells for different prices

aye. finally i'll get rid of the hours of podcast backlog i have.
been listening to a Kinda Funny GamesCast where they were speculating about how NMS is gonna turn out when it's coming out "in 2 weeks"
that's exactly where you need to go
uploading to facebook with visibility set to "only me" not an option?

Ah! Thank you! They really don't give you many tips, do they. I wish there was at least some kind of chart for what all the icons mean.
hm maybe? I try to stay off FB as much as possible...they let you upload PNGs without compressing?
Well if people paid us to discover things in real life, maybe we'd have more discoveries here.
But seriously, I had what I think was a bug on that... there were two different creatures where it let me upload them twice. The only difference between each duplicate was the gender. One didn't seem like a real gender... "Rational" lol. There might be some data corruption going on.Maintenance

I'm happy they are doing well.

Tonight I farmed Plutonium & Iron and made a crapton of Bypass Chips. Couldn't be better, now I have 30 slots in my exosuit, got a new multi-tool via monolith and plenty of number 4-5 upgrades for my ship & tool.
If you want to get a lot of stuff, farm Bypass Chips and use them on those signal scanners.

If I understand it correctly, this is a statement that the meeting between two players on Twitch was bugged. Only the discovery system is still working because of the amount of players.

Certainly reads that way, but he should probably be using clearer language so there's no ambiguity. Nipping this thing in the bud before it becomes a big (or bigger) shitstorm.
A design oversight, in my eyes, is the fact that you can't(?) see which upgrades (mining beam upgrades, for example) you can craft without having a free slot on your multi-tool.
To see whether i possibly have a more useful upgrade than one of the 4 my tool's currently equipped with, i'd have to dismantle one.
right?

This game is crack. I got the same feeling as playing Civ, which I ended up dropping hundreds of hours play time.
I somehow I landed a goldmine. Literally. There are giant gold boulders everywhere. Also zinc, platinum and titanium are also abundant on this planet. I've been doing nothing but mining/selling golds for hours now. Maybe I'll stick on this planet until I have 10M or something.

Crashes and such or gameplay issues?

I've played for probably close to 20 hours now, and managed to land on around 15, maybe 20 planets. And what amazes me is that about 7 planets I remember vividly due to their backdrop and fauna/flora. Some of these planets are genuinely different. Enough so that they stick in your mind.
Also there is a sort of fondness for your first ever planet too. As most players spend a fair amount of time on their first planet before reaching for the stars. It almost feels bittersweet leaving it behind. Especially when my first planet was lush with life.

You can buy any ship you run into in space stations and trading posts.

Yeah tonight I'm going to start heading to the centre I think. There is a specific system that has an awesome planet that I didn't want to leave. I named it and wrote down what I called it. In case Bookmarking comes later as I'd love to travel back to it in the late-game.

1. So is there any earth like planets discovered? Like breathable air, green and blue skies ect.
2. Is there a way to view the entire spiral galaxy? I zoomed out for a while but never seemed to be able to see the entire galaxy!

There was another player showing discoveries right beside the star systems I was in. I went through a few systems without uploading anything and then noticed that when I tried to name them eventually, they were discovered and named by the player that was in the system next to me. I was like DOH!! But i was a cool feeling kniwing someone was seeing the same things I saw. I wonder if they found my ship that I left in the space station?
^^^ Its not a spiral galaxy.
^^^ Its not a spiral galaxy.
Decided that I really need to leave my home planet. I kept discovering more and more landmarks and beacons, to the point that I realized that if I continue, I will never leave (in retrospect, I should have named it Hotel California).
My first spaceflight was astounding, first I had to dodge a huge asteroid belt, and then I presses L1+R1 and catapulted myself towards the space station (which I must admit was pure luck). Then I crashed into said space station, luckily there was no damage.
Today, I think I'll go off and explore another planet for a few hours, I still am not ready for prolonged space travel. I was never good in flight games (honestly, I suck at flying) so I will need a lot of practice and helpful upgrades before I venture where no man has gone before.

I just wish there were more purposeful ways to interact with the planets.
Maybe rescue missions where you have to locate and rescue a rare species of creature from a hostile planet. Or something like Ingress (Niantic) where planets need to be "linked" together to control areas of the galaxy. Or even some kind of basic tourist mode where I can just fly around and explore.
In its current form the game makes you feel like a bean counter, constantly under pressure from nagging messages and inventory management chores. Why drop me into this amazing universe and then go and punish me for being here?
