I almost always find them on the wall at the facilities with one landing pad.

I've always only found blueprints...but a couple minutes ago I got my first multi-tool upgrade. xD

I guess it was just bad luck.

 

[Jinfash]

I found it, it was on this post from Hawkian:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=213032136&postcount=5806

Hold the phone. Does this mean all these upgrades I built far from the base technologies are useless? Lol

 

[Venuspower]

I really love that game.
Found Atlas Pass 1, 2 ans 3 today. But 2 and 3 are really useless if you ask me.
Did not find any good stuff behind that doors.

Also my PS4 Version crashes from time to time.
One workaround I found out is to be "slow". Not running fast, using the scanner and the jetpack while leaving the planet.
Caused me a lot of crashes. Had a really strange bug today: Saving did not work after I move back to my old safe. Game said, that the sfing has finished. But it did not showed up in the menu. Noticed that after 3 hours of playing. I was really pissed at that moment. Only way to fix it was to restart die the game. After that it worked again. But as soon as I want to reload it is bugged again. At least the two times I tried it again.

My current goal is to upgrade to a new star ship. Already got all 48 inventory slots in my exo suit (I think that us the maximum since I can not upgrade anymore). My current ship only has 31 slots. The biggest one I saw had 45 slots for 65 million units. Since I only have 22m units atm I have to farm a lot more stuff in space (yes, I know there is a Dupe Glitch, but I do not want to use it).

 

[CaLe]

I've given this game a lot of free passes, but fuck this: everytime I launch the game I'm spawning under the ground, in an invisible sea.

This game is pure garbage in the QA department.

WOW, when I die I don't even spawn above the ground !

Holy shit ! Am I all of a sudden unable to play the game !?

 

[Nostremitus]

So a couple days ago, I was all set with having to jump 3 systems to get to the Atlas something or other. I died because of pirates (not sure if this triggered it) after warping to a new system and yesterday I noticed I was another 3 systems away. And my path-line is purple.

I'm not in a rush to get there as I'm more about finding life and documenting it but I'd like to know what's up with my path.

Is stellar drift a thing in this game? If not, glitch.

 

[shmoglish]

Somethings have been bugging me since I messed around with the game.

The planets you find and land on aren't unknown. There are usually already alien races already on the planet in some form or orbiting said planet in a station. Why is it you can rename an already discovered planet that has people on it already?

It stands to reason the creatures, etc should already be cataloged in some form as well. Even if there is no alien race you can find there are the sentinels that are scanning everything already.

That makes no sense to me. Why do you need to find ruins or objects to learn an alien language when those aliens already still exist and you're interacting with them?

It's not like you're finding languages of a long forgotten race.

I think it is more in the sense of no (hu)man ever discovered something there. Maybe the human race doesn`t have any Access to the Server with the Gekdiscovered animals.

 

[DedValve]

In Minecraft you gather ressources to achieve something of your own making, to build. In No Mans Sky you gather ressources so you can continue to gather ressources so you can continue to gather ressources. Minecraft is a Snake chasing prey, growing bigger and stronger while No Mans Sky is a Snake only ever chasing its own tail.

I know the difference but that doesn't make the resource hunting in no man's sky less overbearing and rewarding.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Hold the phone. Does this mean all these upgrades I built far from the base technologies are useless? Lol

I think it just gives an added bonus, but you still get the upgrade if it's somewhere else (again, I could be wrong). At least I'm fairly sure that's what I heard. Hopefully that's the case and not "it must be linked". Otherwise it's silly not to let people re-position certain main parts. Could make some big storage ships like the one I posted fairly useless with certain parts if they're blocked off.

I have been trying to link mine whenever possible since I read that post before I started playing.

 

[dc3k]

Hold left trigger and scan them (with the scan visor installed on your multi-tool). Then pause it and go into the planet selection thing and hold the corresponding button (depending on controller/kb) down to name them and upload.

You can name animals/plants/planets/star systems.

Ohh got it, I wasn't using the visor. I've been naming a couple of planets here and there, but mostly just uploading with the default names. Thanks!

 

[G-Bus]

My space ship is spawning half inside a rock and I can't seem to dig it out. Am I screwed?

 

[Nostremitus]

I think it is more in the sense of no (hu)man ever discovered something there. Maybe the human race doesn`t have any Access to the Server with the Gekdiscovered animals.

Pretty much... The same way Columbus discovered America even though there were already people there and everything was already named.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

So anyone found or activated an active portal on land ? I found one but could not figure out how to activate it .

I have a feeling there are a ton of mysteries no one has found yet.

Came across one on my starting planet and one after. Fucked around with both but yeah couldn't get them working.

What do they look like?

I wonder how many people getting a lot of crashes (I've had 2 in my 20ish hours) are using the sprint trick. My guess the people doing it are getting the worst crashes.

Go to options and load a different save if you still can. Die too many times and you won't have other saves to revert to I think. It keeps two at a time.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

Hoof it to an outpost that has one of those beacons that calls your ship. You need a bypass chip. Or use the grenade launcher and blow up the ground under it. Though that may or may not make things worse.

Ok I think I may have figured out my issue of not being able to go to blue stars with Theta warp installed... apparantly sigma needs to be next to warp drive, then tau next to sigma, then theta next to tau. We'll see if this fixes it... gotta deconstruct my old ones and farmt he mats first

Oh dude thanks! That worked well.

Was dreading deleting my save and starting over again. Was starting to get pretty mad.

This happened to me a couple of days ago. If you can't reload the last save, try to shoot a hole straight up and use your jet pack to fly out. I was able to get out doing that.

Ouch. So if you made your warp drive in a slot on a ship where it's blocked off, or bought it that way. by the shield or something then you're out of luck?

Makes ship buying a lot more of a careful endeavor. Glad to know this though.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So it seems odd to me that I never noticed something before. Since we just repair our own stuff I kind of glossed over the fact we can't repair our ships at stations. Does that not seem kind of dumb that in this entire universe everyone is going DIY on their own ships? I'd really rather just pay for repairs at a station.

 

[Venuspower]

Sometimes the game crashes while it is starting.
I hope the will give us an update during the next days.

My first crashes happened after I jumped into the second system. No crashes in the first one.

 

[OmegaDL50]

Interesting drop, Photonix Core:

That is pre-order DLC for Limited Edition owners.

Glad it wasn't locked away. Just need to earn it eventually. That's A-Ok by me, even being a LE purchaser. One of the things I hate is permanent exclusive content.

I guess this means the Boltcaster MP upgrade can eventually be made as well.

Seems pretty solid in terms of placement. Though going by the prior posts you'll have to deconstruct that shield enhancement, and those photon canon enhancements and re-place them. The warp drive has a good nice string of free squares all the way down, so that's good. Seems pretty solid, I'd probably get that. I don't think there's any upgrades for launch thrusters, nor do I see a point in upgrading them. (You already bounce off the planet at Mach10 most times anyhow, unless you hold left trig as you're going up to prevent it).

Thanks, I was able to load a previous save. If I had lost my save, I would have been stuck as I was too far below ground. I couldn't make a hole and get out.

Oh man, I was farming pearls as usual in this vast underground cave complex when I realized I was lost. After wandering around for a bit, I realized I could just use the grenade launcher on my multitool to make my own exit!

Had to do that once when underwater and out of resources for my breather. Tense and fun!

The crashes are killing me though :[ Really starting to get out of hand.

Grenade launcher is awesome. Now we just need a grapple beam like Metroid.

Damn, just found a portal and no clue how to activate it.

Surprised no one has figured it out yet. I would have guessed first day or two and that would have been solved. Heh.

i was at my first atlas anomaly station and got an atlas stone; i read i would also get an atlas pass blueprint, but i didn't. did i do something wrong?

edit: nevermind. i just warped to the next system and there was another anomaly place and they gave me the blueprint

Yeah, the ship I found was the reason why this is gonna be hard for me. Having to gather mats after ive already gathered them is gonna suck, but at least I think this is how it needs to be done. We'll see.

And yeah, found ships and bought ships, carefully look at locations...

On second thought, might just need Tau and Theta from what I read here

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Starting to hate planets with lots of water. Everything always spawns underwater.

 

[Skeletron]

WOW, when I die I don't even spawn above the ground !

Holy shit ! Am I all of a sudden unable to play the game !?

Just go to the options menu and load from a previous save. Although, the same thing happened to me. I got stuck down there after falling through a glitch in a gold deposit. I found my way back up through the same spot. If you jet around for a while you might be able to break through.

Anyone has tips for how to scan flying creature?

I believe it's the last species on this planet, but my visors can pick them up while they're flying in circles in the air. They seem Scannable to me since they had the red dots.

I tried firing at them to no avail.

I think it just gives an added bonus, but you still get the upgrade if it's somewhere else (again, I could be wrong). At least I'm fairly sure that's what I heard. Hopefully that's the case and not "it must be linked". Otherwise it's silly not to let people re-position certain main parts.

Found a planet filled with Vortex cubes. Literally everywhere I go I can find Vortex Cubes. Though the sentinels immediately go to level 3 when I grab one. I'm rich!

Does that not seem kind of dumb that in this entire universe everyone is going DIY on their own ships? I'd really rather just pay for repairs at a station.

When you land on a platform attached to a building and talk to the person inside, you can get a repair option. Not sure if that's for your ship or person equipment. When I chose it I had nothing to repair, so the Va'keen I was talking to got upset that I'd asked.

I almost always kill them with my mining beam. The only time I had trouble with that was on a grassy world. Had to kill nearly a whole flock before I could find a corpse. Really need the duck hunt dog.

Unless another one came out since launch, it was 800mb.

I look for them flying near cliffs... Either that or the seeking rockets may home in on them and blast them from the sky... Not sure though... I've never built the rocket launcher attachment.

Same happened to me with the planet I'm at currently, finding tons of Albumen Pearl.
What I usually do is pick up one near the entrance of a cave, wait for the sentinels to show up and then run inside and keep picking up more pearls. Usually the sentinels will get stuck outside the cave flying above me at ground level, so I just pick as much stuff as possible making sure they don't "disappear".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1Wgln8e6-U

I kept a stream of my playthrough yesterday and you can see me picking the pearls at around the 8 min mark, and all the way to probably the end of the stream, lol.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Just got back in town today and started this up today. I'm loving the so far! I already dumped over five hours into it. I've had pretty good luck with planets from the starting one on having s fair amount of stuff on them. I bulky the hyper drive and have made three or four jumps so far, currently following the Atlas path.

I also got lucky and got it running well on my PC (pretty steady 60fps with infrequent stutters) with minimal fuss. My only gripe so far is the inventory management is s bit tedious. I've found a handful of slot upgrades for my suit, but really need a cargo ship with more slots.
