Really? I can't swing a dead cat without hitting one of the copper hover ovoids. Maybe I'm in the copper cluster. The element I never see is nickel.

Found copper like 5 seconds after writing that lol.

NO, SEE

I GOTTA DO THIS SEEEEE

NAHHHHH SEEEEE

 

[icespide]

I've maxed out (48) my exosuit inventory slots and have a 32 slot ship. I still have no idea wtf I'm doing half the time. I guess I'm supposed to be trying to find recipes for a better warp drive so I can go farther? I wish there was a little more direction in the game to make me feel like I wasn't just doing the same 5 boring things for hours and hours on end.

my shit isn't maxed out yet but this is how I'm feeling now as well

 

[MythicReclaimer]

I have come across a planet of nightmares. Bad acid induced nightmares. I've only landed at one post and I'm ready to NOPE out.

Immediately upon landing, I see these things bouncing and squishing around.

Hey that looks nearly the same as Tommy - The Rasta Tomato I befriended who would follow me around everywhere.

 

[Dineren]

If I did not accept the quest from the Atlas in the very beginning, how and where can I re-accept?

Spoiler

Eventually you'll come across a space anomaly. If you dock with it one of the people inside gives you the option to rejoin the atlas path.

Until tomorrow

You can cover a lot of ground fast with the sprint/melee/jetpack combo.

it's still obnoxious having to rely on a clunky combo with hefty recharge times tho, i honestly would rather constantly be spending plutonium to move my ship like 200 meters than slowly scramble over a 20 foot hill on foot

like the "sprint" speed should be your basic running speed with analog movement so you can go at a walking pace when you want to, as it is it feels like you're a slug

 

[Coriolanus]

impressions i got were that this game will become massively more enjoyable once a trainer with +walkspeed and tagging for infinite specific resources is out.

i just wanna explore. dont wanna keep filling bars and mining ad nauseam.

This new planet I found has everything I need. jesus

I actually like the boosting combo. I've gotten the hang of it and it works extremely well.

Doesn't feel clunk at all when you hit the X button immediately after the melee button.

This is my feeling too, more or less. Infinite inventory space would have helped a lot. And if they left the inventory micromanagement as more of a "survival mode" ala Fallout, then I could see myself enjoying this a lot more.

 

[Two Words]

Haven't had a problem like this yet. I think Sean even mentioned in an interview that you could feasibly fly to a different star system without the need for a warp drive but it would take weeks/months.

This is not true. You cannot fly to different systems without warping. That wouldn't even make sense since they are always light years away. Warping allows for FTL traveling.

 

[Galactic Fork]

Weirdest resource source I found was on some random frozen lifeless planet there were these hovering squid things about 20+ feet in the air. You couldn't scan them, but when you shot them with a mining laser they gave you about twenty or thirty Radnox.

yeah sometimes it's fun to mine and fill bars, but sometimes it's fun to just roam without having to micromanage every little resource, right now NMS only lets you do the one

Thanks!

 

[Pestilence11]

So I haven't checked the thread in a few days:

How far can I warp with all the reactors? I built em last night but the game crashed right after.

I recall seeing something about certain star types being locked out unless you have upgraded drives. Does the map show this clearly?

Where did you get them? I know they're probably random but in 30 hours I haven't got a single warp blueprint. Friend has same amount of hours and no blueprint either.

Green stars need a Tau warp upgrade and other colours need the others.

Edit: For the guy below me, there's a spoiler thread.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Can someone please tell me in spoiler tags what's in the center of the galaxy?

Spoiler

I finished the Atlas thing with 10 stones btw and read something about the birth of a star.

 

[Draper]

Christ...I can't even hyper jump anymore without the game hard locking....

Honestly, I find that if you want to explore a planet's terrain, just push forward. Don't think about resources too much. Just pick a direction and go explore. Provided the environment isn't wreaking havoc on your support systems, you can explore great distances and the little bits you need to survive will show up along your path.

I only scavenge for resources when I have a specific goal in mind (which, admittedly, is almost always the case).

 

[Admiral Woofington]

What bypass chip thing?

well, simply that it's a relatively easy way to get money.

Iron and plutonium tend to be abundant and each chip sells for like 3500. You need 10 of each for a chip.

 

[Rezbit]

Well I think I have screwed myself haha.

Spoilers about some things toward the end:

Spoiler

I sold all my atlas stones even after following the path of atlas (the greed is real), then chose to return to the galaxy. Now even anomalies won't let me return to the path. So uhh...guess I'm taking the long way? Makes it tough when black holes only send you 2000 lightyears closer Can I actually get to the centre in anything approachiing normal time?

 

[Envelope]

yeah it's fun when you hit it just right and flyyyyy across the planet, but i still would rather not have to rely on it for basic travel

i actually did this once .___. had enough free space to make 10 or so at a time, it does add up quickly if you don't have a better source of income

Ugh... stranded in the ocean with NO plutonium.

 

[travisbickle]

You can easily roam on a planets where your suit is capable. I had a couple of upgrades to my life support, landed on a luscious planet and lasted for over an hour without having to fill it up.

I don't know what people expected from a space game if not at least find/upgrade a space suit that can survive the planet's atmosphere.

 

[Aselith]

stranded in the ocean with plutonium.

My new psychedelic love ballad. Go out and grab the single on 9/1!~

 

[Netherscourge]

Ok, so I found a moon with giant CUBES all over the place:

Here's one from a distance:

Here's a side angle for scale:

I blasted a tunnel into the middle of it:

Here's what I found inside the giant cube:

The whole moon is covered with them - check the cubes in the distance:

I'm gonna need a whole lot of grenades!



This moon also has giant creatures walking around all over it - one of them attacked me on sight, but I was able to jump on top of my ship with the jet pack and kill it without much trouble.

Hands down my favorite planet/moon I've found. It has almost no plant-life on it, but tons really weird rocks and formations and stuff.

 

[BigTnaples]

Ugh... stranded in the ocean with NO plutonium.

Wait, can you swim or drive your ship underwater?

 

[Wyndstryker]

Just wondering, what is the technology scale? Like whats better? Tau/theta/sigma whatever.

Yooo i found that too, not at home to provide pic evidence but i'm sure i took pictures. They were littered over my entire planet too.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The game is crashing a lot lately. I'll try to rebuild the database but it's more to do when you press start at certain moments e.g. loading or save screens. When too much is happening and you expect the game to pause, it'll laugh at you and tell you to write a report to your mommy.

 

[Auto_aim1]

Just wondering, what is the technology scale? Like whats better? Tau/theta/sigma whatever.

Sigma is the weakest, then Tau, Theta, and Omega. Omega being the awesomest.

This was the creepiest planet I have found btw.

 

[Ourobolus]

Just wondering, what is the technology scale? Like whats better? Tau/theta/sigma whatever.

Sigma < Tau < Theta < Omega

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I'm on a planet right now loaded with both Gravitino Balls AND Vortex Stones.

I kinda don't ever want to leave.

 

[qcf x2]

I found the most lush planet I've seen to date, just a green paradise with everything except for an ocean. It's entirely covered with fields of grass/flowers. I ended up on a smaller world that isn't noteworthy except for the odd fact that vortex cubes are in all of the caves. I made over 1,000,000 in an hour before saving and calling it a night. Looking forward to continuing to build my bankroll with this lucky occurrence tomorrow.

 

[Skeletron]

Holy shit I just fed a creature and it pooped out Omegon. So I went around feeding the whole herd and they all started pooping chrysonite and emeril.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

i actually did this once .___. had enough free space to make 10 or so at a time, it does add up quickly if you don't have a better source of income

Before I decided to do this I made two million simply by farming buttloads of plutonium. I feel that the time I spent flying around flying the plutonium is probably just as much as sitting down hitting 'build' over and over again. But one is more interesting.

Unless there's a more convenient way to make money later on down the line I think this will be the way I do it for at least one more vehicle/weapon.

 

[nelchaar]

Haven't played this game much but please tell me there's some kind of land vehicle that you get later on.

 

[mokeyjoe]

You can and should have 4 hyperdrives installed.
The normal one, then the Sigma, Tau and Theta. They stack and let you travel longer distances.
Also you need the Sigma to visit solar sistems with a red star, Tau for green stars, and Theta for blue stars.

To find iridium try in space, some large round asteroids are usually of iridium. On planets is a bit more hard to find it.

Damn, really? Cos I just swapped my Sigma for a crashed ship with a Tau. Thought it was superior.

I actually like it, weirdly. There's a bit of skill to doing it properly.

 

[sazzy]

I tried to fly into one of the system's sun.

went about 40 million ks from one of the planets.

every time I ran of out fuel I'd just stop blast some asteroids and refuel. apparently space is filled with an infinite amount of fuel.

40 million ks in, never reached or got closer to the star, realized its just part of the background, and shut off the game.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

If I get a new ship, will my DLC ship just disappear?

 

[Indrid Cold]

Where did you get them? I know they're probably random but in 30 hours I haven't got a single warp blueprint. Friend has same amount of hours and no blueprint either.

Green stars need a Tau warp upgrade and other colours need the others.

Edit: For the guy below me, there's a spoiler thread.

I don't honestly recall. I think I found one from a crashed ship(when you interact with the beacon), one from a guy on a station/outpost and maybe same for the last.

 

[ph1l0z0ph3r]

So I have a quest telling me to go to outpost and then interact with lifeform but there is nothing there. Any ideas?

 

[Aenima]

Just wondering, what is the technology scale? Like whats better? Tau/theta/sigma whatever.

Sigma < Tau < Theta

Usually u get sigma upgrades 1st, then Tau, then Theta

 

[grimmiq]

Awesome, NMS just froze my console, had to hard reset.

 

[Griss]

Awesome, NMS just froze my console, had to hard reset.

I've been playing on and off since 9pm (EST) and have had 8 crashes in those 4 hours. One of which was a hard lock.

They've got problems, that's for sure.

What's interesting is that the same thing can cause it each time. There was one terminal that crashed my game three times in a row, guaranteed. Leave it alone, everything's fine.

 

[Hawkian]

Been trying to follow the thread from here as best I can. I think I want to make three posts to add to the guides once I get home.

1. Ways to earn Units
2. AtlasPass stuff
3. Star system type research

I actually like it, weirdly. There's a bit of skill to doing it properly.

Yeah it rules. Making sure you preserve your momentum and get the most out of a full jetpack charge takes practice and is fun as hell to pull off. Finding a big cliff to boost off is a wonderful feeling

Met some blobby creatures. Blobs are pretty neat.
