How much did you pay? Or did you do the Gek thing? I saw 48 slotter for 60 mil last night, but obviously no where close to that.

Man... I took the plunge last night and started the whole crashed ship process, but only got three ships in before I had to quit.
I guess it's a good thing I dismantled all my upgrades; hopefully this is reflected in NPC ships so the prices aren't tens of millions again.

I have the same issue right now too. If you use L2 it will show little white dots. Those are animals/plants that you have not scanned. Sadly it is broken. :-\

I've been playing NMS for 20+ hours now on my PC/Steam version.
I haven't had a single crash either.
I think Sean is right - only 1% of players are having issues; so, chances are those 1% are right here on Gaf or Reddit while everyone else is happily playing the game with very few, if any, issues.

I had the game 5 days before launch on PS4 and have been playing it solidly since and weirdly, I have NEVER had a crash...
Nope. White dots are self placed waypoints, like when you scan an installation. Red dots show unscanned animals.

Us this true? I know it shows white dots if the creatures are far away or obscured by land mass or something, but once you get them in your visibility range they change to green for discovered and red for undiscovered. Seemed simple enough to me, if it's broken I wouldn't have realized it.

Sorry but that dot mechanics do not works hope they improve it becuase find the last 2 animals on a planet is hard sometimes.
Yup same here for me on PC. I haven't had a single crash, and I get a solid 60fps with my 970 at 1080p. The game has been rock solid for me so far after 15 hours of /played.
Haha, I hadn't actually seen much posted about this, I will add this to the tips and tricks post.
While holding L2:
White dots with a blinking "radar" ring around them indicate animals that are somewhat far off- too far to detect if they are discovered yet or not. Follow them to get close enough.
Green dots indicate already-discovered creatures.
Red dots indicate creatures not yet discovered.
The white waypoint dots look a little different.
Nope you're 100% right. Works pretty well in my opinion- only thing is that it can't help you all that much when you're down to say, 1 or 2 creatures left.
I have heard that on the discovery page, animals are listed in rows grouped together like Sky, Land, Water or something but I haven't looked into that yet.

Static white dots are self placed waypoints, but little pulsing white dots are fauna that are out of your normal scanning range. When you see those, get closer and they turn into regular animal dots.

You're both correct. There are two types of this white dot: One for flora/fauna and one for waypoints.

Really? It's crashed for me more than any other game I think I've ever had on console...and I play the LEGO games.

I've had one crash in 20+ hours on PS4.
Downloaded the patch, but not before backing up my save to the cloud, just to be on the safe side.
I played this morning, thought for a while to upgrade my ship by seeking out crashed ships, but gave up quickly. 30 slots is perfectly enough for what I need.
So, basically I decided to warp to the center. With all 3 upgrades I jump about 700-900 LY (since it's still not a straight shot). To make it less boring, after the jump I boost down to the planet, fly around a bit between POIs and collect V1 containers to stock up on Antimatter, mine some Heridium and pick up some Zinc (which shows up nicely on scans).
Then I leave, blow up some asteroids for Thamium and off I warp.
All you need for warping is:
- Heridium
- Zinc
- Thamium
and Plutonium and Carbon, but that is in unlimited quantities everywhere.
No need for a lot of inventory space, no need for farming or hoarding, if you wish to explore the planet all you need is plutonium and iron or carbon for flying and life support...
Added bonus, I don't get attacked by pirates because I have nothing of value (of course, maybe that is random, but I have not been attacked or even scanned a single time since slumming it).
That way I have no need to build ship's guns or shields, so I saved some time and grinding there.

Wtf, my game used to run perfectly but now with the patch it runs like dogshit, the beggining intro takes forever. Is there anyway to revert the patch?
Edit: The intro took like 5 minutes, but now it actually runs better, forget what i said.

To each their own! I'd get bored really quickly if I did it, so sticking to just buying conventionally haha.
Weird issue about crash (PS4) last night. It was crashing every time I was trying to get a new Multi Tool update in a specific Outpost. I could repeat the crash evwry time I was trying that.
Anyways...
Finally got my V1 Pass last Night, still having a blast (got on my first "Arctic" planet, with a very small layer of Snow) and hoping to get to a Gek system before they patch it out, but haven't been in a single one yet (Korvax or Vykeen everyvtime), in spite of having had 1 Gek merchant at an Outpost once.
Got a nice looking 24 slot Multi Tool though, and found a crashed ship with 1 more (23) slot.
Suit coming along at 25 slots.

Nice, yeah around 30 will be fine for my needs as well I believe.
Per the bold, definitely not random, you'll actually get a message concerning it if you have valuable cargo, something like "hostile scan - valuable cargo detected"
Well I landed on a planet yesterday rocketed sideways for miles and then fell through the surface. Ended up floating around in its liquid centre looking up at the trees with no way out.
Managed to grenade my way back to solid ground. It was only a 6 minute hike back to my ship and the snow planet was pretty scenic, so no harm done. Freaked me out a bit at the time though.

Is there a way to make the game recalculate your route to the center while taking your upgraded hyperdrive into account? Currently I'm just eyeballing systems roughly 1500ly away that appear to be in a straight line between my current location and the center, but it always ends up only getting me like 400ly closer to the center. Is there a more efficient way? At 162k away that's a shitload of jumps at only 300-400ly a pop.
Almost the same here.
Had exactly one random crash in almost 50h, plus one reproducable crash when interacting with a multi-tool tech terminal. No performance issues whatsoever.
But of course people are going to declare the "1% of players" line another lie.
long shot, this is a weird note but he doesn't have a full inventory does he? I've seen people suggest freeing up at least one slot in suit and ship before warping...
It may depend what you're carrying in your inventory, apparently that can skew ship prices.
Are there any patch notes? Nevermind, checked back a couple pages and saw it's just bug fixes.
Off to try and craft a warp drive.
Coming soon apparently. The previous patch just said bug fixes too, but included content.
With that said they seem pretty focused on actual bug fixes this time.

If you are going to expand your ship by finding crashed ships, make sure you have lots (and I mean stacks of)
Heridium
Iron (to make Carlite)
All you need to repair to make it functional is the boosters and pulse engine. I suggest the shield as well or you will get an annoying warning sound until you fix them.

I did that with my ship, since I don't care for the offensive guns, since I use the mining laser with upgrades, so it means I have an extra storage slot for my hoarding needs.

Use those beacons that require a bypass chip. select transmission and there is a chance it will locate a transmission tower for you, and those will lead to the crashed ships.
He does have free space. I told him to die on a planet to "refresh the save." Will see if this works.

I'm the opposite, just fully upgraded guns and mine asteroids with those. I don't like having to switch. On foot I fuck up sentinels with my mining laser too. =)
Ha, yeah, with my multitool and with my ship once each. Finally had some luck with multitool upgrades in one of the Atlas systems and traded up to an 18 slot. Feels downright luxurious
No, but it makes sense. The multitool isn't an inventory. I've got 4 free slots on my 24 slot multitool.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I've been hoarding some high value items. Definitely makes sense.

This seems like the weirdest fix. I wonder what the fundamental issue is.
