Forgive me if this is been posted, but I found a vortex cube planet..
On the ground, sentianls don't care. And I can stack the cubes upto 100 if I make ship tech and then dismantle it. So yeah.
I'm gonna be here for a while. Each stack of 100 is valued at 2,475,000

When did the patch release? My PS4's been in rest mode all day and still hasn't downloaded anything :-(
Also, has it improved the game's performance? I see a few of you aren't impressed.

So any black hole you go through takes you closer to the center?

Yeah. It warps you a random distance towards the center, but never away from it. It'll usually break something on your ship though. But it's worth it, trying to get to the center manually is unbearable even with maxed out hyperdrive.
Planets have different aggression levels for sentinels.
Yeah, but regardless of that your wanted level always dropped to 0 when you got in your ship.
Sentinels will shoot your ship now.

Always did. Only if u fly away from them you will lose the wanted level.

Dude, please spoiler this.
edit: As a reminder, any talk of the Atlas path, story elements, lore, the center of the galaxy/universe, and dialogue should be spoilered in the OT. Thanks.

Found a planet with pearl pods and deep cave systems, makes collecting them very easy, the best part is the local space station has +104% on pearls
Found a similar system but with Vortex Cubes, you can get rich pretty quick selling that stuff. Made like 10+ mil in an evening, enough to put me over the top to buy a 35-slot ship.

Really? Maybe it just fixed a bug that I had with that system then haha
What's the trick to space battles? I tried and failed miserably to fight off 3 ships that pulled me out of warp from a planet to the space station. I don't even think I did any damage. Since then, I've switched to using a DS4 for flight, hoping that would make it easier and got smoked again just a few w minutes ago
Also, it always say my photon cannon is at 0%, yet I can shoot, and am unable to "recharge it with oxides" as it keeps begging me to. Am I missing something?
Personally, I've found the best method to boost fast, then flip it and go in reverse while facing them. Then just blast and eliminate.

So is the Gex transmission tower exploit fixed for sure? I managed to pause my update as soon as I got home, unsure if I want it to continue if so.

I am trying to find zinc. Any suggestions where I can find zinc in order to get my ship up and running for the 1st time?
Didn't` people said that it was because he got death threads?

Zinc is always in a flower form, scan and look for the yellow icons

Did the PS4 patch do the trick with the crashes?

Thanks. Can't find any in the immediate vicinity of my crashed ship on the 1st planet and I have to go walking and exploring. Doesn't help that my environment is somewhat hostile, decreasing my life support systems every 5 minutes or so. Ughh. Want to get out there and travel the planet already!
RustySpoon

They assumed it was death threats from the "defense force" but there was never any evidence to support that. Ironic and unsurprising that Reddit was wrong again!
Remember you can get cover in caves to replenish your life support while you're exploring.
I find it incredibly wrong that people assume "death threads" that easily.

I'm having trouble with space battles also.
I think I've shot down like 2 Pirates in over 20 hours of play.

Would be funny if it is. Hadn't seen a purple icon labeled precious element, very rare before this. Why I was curious. Found a huge amount on one area of planet, but now I'm running into just barren again. Will explore planet more.
Murrine is certainly valuable though.
So I first get into the galaxy map and just free camera my way straight for about 10 mins and didn't even make it 10% to the galaxy center. Wtf. I chose a random Star and set a way point and now it's slowly taking me back home to my current position. I can't quit out of the Galaxy view and I'm just waiting. But seriously what the fuck at this size. I thought spore was big. I thought Elite was big. I thought my GAF sized dong was big. I was wrong.
Upgrade your shields. It does a world of difference in surviving attacks.
Also, the laser doesn't really need to be aimed so use that against ships (change with triangle).

How is anyone making it to the center??

Some of the biggest creatures I found, on an incredibly ugly green planet:
Haha, I was about to say "Ugly, green planet... No such thing." especially since I've been on so many unfriendly purple planets. But yeah, that is an eyesore!
Oh yeah, it's unimaginably vast, and that's just one galaxy. Shame you can't quit out though.

I am curious if the patch fixes the issue where getting out of your ship on a planet surface can release you inside a vertical terrain feature and you fall through the bottom of the world and have to reload. That shit keeps happening to me.

I'm at a comm tower right now. Going to sacrifice my save, update, and confirm once and for all if the Gek trick still works.
Edit: Gek transmission trick still works!

Partway through Atlas path, spoiling just in case.
Does anyone know if the successful Monolith interactions are what light up the pieces of the floor in the Atlas Interfaces? That's my educated guess right now. It pleases me to score a whole ton of word translations in the Interfaces. Last one I did I got 12 new words just running over the lit floor spots.
Spoiler tag please.
It seems like a bug/oversight, but it works to your benefit. My photon cannons simply never require oxide recharging.

Nope. Still crashed a half dozen times for me in one session.

I'm in no way a hater. I've spent a lot of time with this game, and enjoying it. It is very relaxing.
But one thing that is really pissing me off is the bugs with the Warp Reactors. One of the "rough around the edge's" aspects of this game.
Try to pick up 'Warp Reactor Tau' blueprint. "You already have that blueprint." No I don't!
Eventually it dropped off a crashed ship area and went into my list of blueprints, but still, it was frustrating and I thought I was subject to a game breaking bug.
Then now, "You can't fly to this system, you need Warp Rector Theta". Err, I have that one installed on my ship. Sigh. Very frustrating. I hope the patch has fixed this.

That text is pretty misleading. You need all three warp reactor upgrades installed to get to those systems. Not sure if they have to be built next to each other for the bonus, but I'm sure it won't hurt.
Is this trick just using bypass chips multiple times on a single relay thing?
The trick is to use the console at a transmission tower multiple times over to mark a lot of crashed ships.
RustySpoon
Member
You've kind of got it. You can use a Gek Transmission Tower multiple times to find crashed ships. You can only use other races' towers once. People speculated earlier today that it had been patched. It hasn't.

And thank god that they don't. Can you imagine? It'd be like Luke Skywalker having to throw coal in his X-Wing to get his lasers to fire. But IMO all combat mechanics should be self-charging, both in space and on ground. I also think they should take the charging requirement away from the hazard-specific shield upgrades and make them a depleting meter like when underwater. This game is recharge-crazy right now and it detracts from other mechanics.
