It does, but I also want to be able to use the HUD when I'm not about to take a screenshot. Unless I don't understand what the setting does and it can be toggled on / off in-game ?

The no hud option in settings doesnt require a restart, pain in the arse having to on in and turn it on and off for a screenshot, but you can

How do I find out how to make or where to get AtlasPasses? I'm on my 4th star system and still haven't figured that out.

 

[BigDug13]

I think i might be done with this game.

Spoiler

Having one less Atlus stone then i was supposed to, even though i haven't sold a single one. Really took the wind out of my sails.

Does anyone know how i can find an Atlus station. Please.

Random merchants at space stations will sell atlas stones.

 

[Shy]

Random merchants at space stations will sell atlas stones.

That's true but they're around 2 to 3 mill. And i really don't want to grind for that much money.

 

[kAmui-]

Today was a good day. I found a system that had a planet full of vortex cubes. So I went around collecting and selling them for a while. Can't believe I actually had fun doing this. Traversing feels good and the scenery is just great. I'm really liking the caves, although they could use a little more variation. After I was done with that planet I went to a moon in the same system and it was full of venom sacs. I can easily make about a million units in less than 10 minutes grinding those. I'll probably save up about 20 mills for a new ship.

 

[sonto340]

Quoting myself for anyone else who might be wondering this. I just figured it out and it's quite absurd. You have to hover the cursor over the "100% Complete" bar and PRESS X NOT SQUARE to upload them all and get credit for it. What the hell...? Why would every other upload be on square but this one thing has to be on X? There isn't even any prompt or indication that you'd have to press X to do it. Lesson learned. Hopefully no one else gets caught up with this as it really isn't trivial to find and scan every species on a planet.

I'm almost 100% positive it says "press x to upload" in the little complete bar

I finally got my Atlas Pass v3!!!!

 

[pots555]

Moment of joy! After so many hours, I finally got my

atlas pass v1. The space anomaly was pretty cool

.

 

[BizzyBum]

I finally got my Atlas Pass v3!!!!

What did you do, just keep grinding operation centers?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I wish there was a storage locker solution. This game's interface borrowed everything from Destiny except the locker idea. It would help so. Damn. Much.

Especially since I'm one of those people that holds on to one of every type of thing in case I need it.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

This is a bug. I lost 4 hours because of it.

You have to close and restart the game to fix. I tried everything.

Were you just suspending the game when it was happening to you?

 

[Rudiano]

So how do you get the ending in this game? Ive traveled to a shit load of Atlus stations and then more keep popping up

 

[Slythe]

After about 10 hours I must say I really like the game despite its weaknesses. In a weird way it reminds me of the first Assassins Creed in that it's more of a proof of concept that can be built upon in the future. I'd love to see a No Mans Sky 2 or a major dlc package that introduces quests, more varied combat encounters, landspeeders, base building and the ability to put down custom markers etc.

The foundation is there, and I will be overjoyed if the IP is continued and they take advantage of the potential here. Even if thatnever happens, the game as is is a completely unique experience.

 

[R_thanatos]

How did I not see this?

When you use the scanner all animals in the vicinity show up as green or red (undiscovered) dots. Just had this pointed out to me. Doh!

100 percented my planet about 2 minutes later lol.

You can also use the scanner to see very quick white dots instead of green and red ones , showing animals ouside of your normal range, it's a 1 or 2 sec dot showing where animals outside of your normal range are.

I asked this many pages ago, but I'll try again: does the game dim point of interest that have been already explored? I used that beacon thing to reveal crashed sites, and now I'm surrounded by a bunch. I can't tell which ones I've already explored or not.

Once you reach the destination it usually takes the marker off your HUD

They usually disappear from the hud after visiting or sometimes they remain but are grey if you have visited and red if you have not visited it.

Oh wow. Got a lot of places to go then.

Generally speaking, are crashed ships worth fixing or should I upgrade by buying merchants ships on space stations? Or is there a better way to upgrade than those two?

 

[DjRalford]

Crashed ships are almost always + / - 1 or 2 slots of whatever your ship is, if you just repair launch thruster and pulse you can mooch around 1 planet going from ship to ship upgrading a couple of slots at a time.

You can jump into much bigger ships by buying buit they are expensive, and aparrantly the more you have on your ship the more the other ships cost, so if you have loads of cash and are going ship hunting take everything out of your ship inventory, and dismantle everything you can to buy one at rock bottom prices.

 

[platocplx]

Do you all think that some people are ignorant to the fact that most planets probably arent lush wonderlands in our known universe and maybe in the game they went with extreme realism in that sense? So when people find something like that its extremely special and rare?

 

[metareferential]

It depends.

If you have the money and don't mind paying, buying is the faster way. But to get money you have to grind resources, so...

You can use beacons on planets (the orange ones you activate with a bypass chip): keep using choosing "transmission" until you get a crash site: go there and you'll find a ship that usually has +1/2 slots than your current one.

Rinse and repeat. The downside is that you will need to rebuild all your upgrades and fix the new ship.

Is there a particular way I can get iridium regularly? I need a little bit more iridium so I can build my next hyperdrive upgrade, and I can't find that shit anywhere. It's kissing me off. I've been to a shit ton of planets, no iridium. I thought o got some from an asteroid, but I'm only finding copper, nickel, and thadmium (or whatever it's called).

Edit: I've also been hunting for it with traders and market terminals. No fucking luck.

Best source of iridium is those big potato asteroids, you just need to keep trying them round different planets / systems until you find one that has what you want.

Salvage downed ships.
If you find some without more slots or even. You can enter them.break them down and get mats. I was stuck in a system with no chrysonite and i found a ship and that helped.

I tend to find iridium in space quite a bit. Now I'm trying to find aluminium.

I like the game a lot but at this point I would pay to remove space combat. It's so awful and only serves as an annoyance. I just let them kill me now since it lets me continue the game faster.

 

[dubq]

Do the Atlas passes stack with each version or do I need to have a copy of each one in my inventory?

 

[ilikesanta]

I'm gong broke buying suit upgrades. I think I'm up to 35 and it's now getting to more then +250k a pop. I had 2mil saved up and I got all the way down to 600k. had to go back to grinding for cash.

On Altas Stones

Spoiler

You have to save those things? Fuck that I'm just going to blitz the center

 

[AmethystEnd]

Just rushed and finished the Atlas path. Man it feels good to have that inventory space back.

 

[Uthred]

Is the discovered creatures interface bugged? Sometimes it will let me rotate and other times it wont

I think I'm going to a ship-hop in the short term. And the bolded is very interesting to say the least. Have you tested that?

 

[LiK]

How do you get an AtlasPass? I don't even have the first one yet and it drives me nuts how many locked doors need them.

You can find iridium on planet surfaces too, mine was in some reddish jaggy archway formations - quite a barren/rocky type planet.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

What did you do, just keep grinding operation centers?

Yup. I never got v2, but v3 opens those doors too.

 

[Sagroth]

Ok folks, I'm done with the Atlas questline, have Warp reactor Sigma/Tau/Theta in a linked chain, have a cargo hold full of warp cores, and have 173000+ light years to get to the center. How do I expedite the process? I can jump over 1600 light years with a single core. Is it really just a matter of blindly warping towards the center 100+ times(waypoints nowadays seem to end in nothing and only go out 800 light years at max, which is less than half as far as I can jump)? Are black holes the answer? Last time I tried one, it killed my Warp Theta and did a rubbish job of getting me any closer.

I just really, REALLY don't want to warp 100 more times.

 

[DjRalford]

Not personally, but there have been reports from quite a few people that it works.

 

[AmethystEnd]

Now that I'm off the Atlas path, I can finally check out non-yellow star systems.

Gonna check out a Blue Star System first. Those require Warp Drive Theta to jump to.

You are still free to explore other star types regardless of Atlas path.

I thought Blue stars were Omega hyperdrive stars (just got Theta). Will need to check that out.

has appeared twice more for me after the first time in systems I am in the progress of exploring. Maybe a different story path becomes clear if you keep giving them scan data and stuff and getting coordinates instead of following Atlas?

I think somewhere along in development, Hello Games fell into the trap of having the entire in-game economy dictated and balanced by your number of inventory slots. I'm sure they thought about putting that in and still might, but whatever hole they dug themselves into made it so the idea of starting the player and/or your ship with 48 slots or persistent storage in-between systems would break their game. It is the main equalizer and motivator for the non-exploratory aspects of the game, as all your decision making generally revolves around it.

 

[8byte]

There are a lot of common sense features missing from this game. That is my only complaint. The fact that there is no way to select and travel to systems already discovered is embarrassing.

There is. Just not very ergonomic. The entire starmap is very awkward to use. Pretty to look at, but terrible.

Did my first jump to an adjacent solar system only to find a planet already discovered by someone and an adjacent system already discovered by someone else.

I find it hard to believe that the chance of people crossing is minutely low on close to game launch. Regardless I am having too much fun exploring.

Only thing is now that we've crossed, if we both follow atlas to center then logic dictates we will have same path. This makes me worry that I will encounter nothing but planets and systems already discovered

If you want to make it to the center, always go freeroam and 'meander' towards the center.

Oh and if you truly start flying around the galactic map (even in high speed mode), you'll quickly realize that you won't generally run into others. The size of the starter galaxy is insane......

I'm starting to wrap up my time with the game, but I've played about 30 hours and I've never encountered anything discovered by another player.

I've also only managed to come across one Korvax system out of the stations I've checked.
