No, you are understanding it correctly. It's kind of ridiculous that you can have a 48 slot ship and start out with a 13 slot freighter (at least that was the first one I've bought... after that every other freighter has been 15 slots so far, so it seems like it's always +2) At least they hold twice the amount, but it's still super strange having that huuuuuge ship and then being only able to carry so little cargo. IMO it would have been better to make the freighters modular. You start with 15 slots and a big space to build your agriculture stuff and you can buy additional storage containers with 5 slots up to 100 for money and ressources.
Thanks for this i was just about to ask about Freighters as i've just found a neat Gek one that looks like a flattened Lego Star Destroyer and all the others look like cubes. How much does each cargo slot hold do you know?
I was a bit miffed about losing my stash and the seemingly slower regen/quicker depletion of my jetpack but i'm placated by the prospect of buying a big ship
1 slot holds double the amount of your normal ship, which holds double the amount of your inventory. e.g. 250 -> 500 -> 1000. Stackable items can be stacked up to 5 in your ship and up to 10 in your freighter I think.

They aren't done with the updates. I'm hoping they add more freighter customizations like you were suggesting.
Loving the update so far. Eat it haters!
Edit: Just read on the foundation update page on the nms website that you can add cargo expansion units to freighters. So it must already be in. Just have to unlock additional technologies to get there I guess...
Damn what an enormous content update this was...

At first I was not that keen on Base Building, but now I've tried it I can really see this as a valuable addition.
Warping back and forth works really well.

Install to a different partition or drive.
Not yet.
Here's my first ever photo mode screenshot, of the first planet I found with a habitable base on it that wasn't an extreme environment nightmare. This is my homestead view!

How do you access the shortcut menu in game like it is in the video?
A bit disappointing that it doesn't remove the visor effect at the top of the screen.

I think it's down on the Dpad, on PS4 at least. It's context changes depending on if you're on a planet or in your ship.

Thanks dude
Patch looks great but I just bought a bunch of new games for Black Friday. Hopefully this spring after I get through all of these there will be another patch or two by the time I get back to it. The game could be very different by the time I get back to it. It's fun to see people jumping back in, hopefully some new folks picked it up this week too. I want to see them continue to add to the game as long as they can.

wait, photo mode doesn't remove the vignette? :/
So it looks like all species on planets have been reset. If you cataloged biomes, they're gone. Planets seem to be roughly the same, but terrain has been remixed quite a bit. The two places I wanted to be my bases are no longer as unique as they once were. One the lakes have dried up completely.

I don't know if it's just a Survival mode thing, but fuck launch thrusters depleting to 0% after each launch. I'm now stuck on a planet with hostile sentinels which I can't get away from because of this.
That's just Survival mode.

Agreed. Reinstalling the game myself.
I am amazed at how much the visual fidelity has improved. Colors pop more, everything is super nice and crisp with TAA, and it feels like there is a greater variety in the color palette of a planet. All around, I'm pretty impressed!
One thing that was a bit of an annoyance is that you can't rebind zoom in to the right mouse button. Or in general, it seems like you can't rebind to a previously bound button (on PC).
I'm also getting a strange graphical flickering grass bug every now and then. Hope they'll smooth this out over the coming days/weeks.

Base building is really fun. The mini-quests you get (fetch a blueprint etc) from people you recruit provide a sense of direction and something to do. It's not exactly deep but it's addictive and kind of satisfying to see the base develop.
Also I love the feeling of sheltering in my base while there's a storm raging outside 😊

I love running back to my ship when a storm is hitting and sitting in it waiting out the storm, with the sound of rain hitting the roof. Makes me want to grab a nice hot cup of tea.
The base game had a lot of faults, but I did fine it to be the ultimate wind down from a stressful work day game.
Sometimes you just need to decompress, and this game has done the job for me.

Exactly my thoughts. Played for four hours straight in search of a nice base planet. Game totally has its hooks in me again.

I haven't played it yet but I think the idea might be that you don't land everywhere like in normal mode. You have to plan landings a bit more. I can see why you'd be annoyed though.

By the gods... I can stack Atlas stones!
If it's the Voltaic Cell you need to the build the science terminal and recruit a scientist first I think.
Ah, and now I need to find cacti. Thanks!
Is there an easy way to get back to your home planet if you jump to another system? Or do I just have to remember where it was and if I want to explore the galaxy, try and find my way back there? Could be a lot of jumping to get back if you get far away.
This should have been one of the first things they mention about the patch!

I don't know why I missed it leaving the first planet. So I'm going to be making sure to carry plenty of spare plutonium from now on.
So that's my Survival tip, keep plenty of Plutonium and Thanium on you at all times.

Thats a much bigger update than I was anticipating. I'll have to get back into this game soon
It took me ages to find that material, in the end I realised you can see if a planet has it by scanning from space so no need to walk around endlessly.
If you can't find it in your current system then warp to a new one, bases are cheap to build and you can recover some of the materials from your old one.
Agreed. Even before this update I got enough time and fun out of it to justify the price. I put it back on the shelf for a long time but now it looks like it's going to just keep getting bigger and better. I just wish I could get the option to warp back to my very first planet and explore it more now I know what I'm doing and have protection against the toxicity installed.
Figured as much. Mostly iron so easy to get going.

I had to disable SLI to fix that. Apparently SLI bugged again for this patch.
