Honestly, I don't even use the beacons. I just fly around until I see the transmission towers when I reach the ? waypoints. They're easy to spot, especially the Gek ones. They look like tall antennas.

You can escape, you need to jet pack around while slowly drifting until you can stand on top of some cave elements, from there you can blast your way to the surface. It's strange, but trust me. I've done it a couple times.

Killed myself to try and get unstuck from the center of the planet. First time dying so I was afraid to see what the punishment for death is. Turns out it doesn't matter, spawned me inside the planet again.
I guess that's the end of my space adventure.
Do you have the grenade launcher attachment? Dig your way out.

Is there anything I can do to report crashes in the PC version? Like debug options I can turn on or logs I can send in to Hello Games? Because the game is still incredibly crashy, with the latest crash coming as I stared at a Gek trader's dialogue options trying to decide what to do. Crashes seem to happen for literally no reason at all and I have no steps to reproduce, so the only thing I can think to offer is a crash log. Any ideas?

Finally landed on a lush, grassland planet after system after system of barren rock shitholes or snow planets.

Matt Lees of Cool Ghosts / Daft Souls has put up what I think is the best No Man's Sky thinky video I've seen. No, it's not a hit piece, though he has criticisms and he's fair and reasonable about it. He explores the game design a bit and has some interesting insights. Ultimately I'd say it's a bit of a love letter to a game he readily admits has its share of flaws. Which I think would probably describe the way most of us in here feel about it. Definitely worth a look.
That means there are very valuable resources on that planet. Find them, sell them, get rich quick.

From the support page, email them at support@hellogames.co.uk with this info:
Any PS4 devs in here, are the crash reports worth sending on that platform? Do y'all actually get them from Sony?

I just picked up this game today and after a few hours I think it's very cool. It's weird, because I can see the flaws, and know why this game got the reception it got, but so far I'm really enjoying flying to uncharted planets and shooting at rocks.
I've been barreling down the Atlas path, just flying to planets, mining gold and Emeril, selling it and then crafting whatever I need to progress. In about 3 to 4 hours of play I've made it to the third star system and bought a sweet new ship and multitool. I have to wonder how many people feel obliged to comb over to every planet and visit each planet in each system. It's impossible to see everything in this game so I dont't feel like I'm missing anything by skipping planets altogether. Especially if they're boring.

I love this game , but In the future I hope they can expand he creature Ai
- would love to see entire valleys of herds. Best I have seen is 5-10 animals
- would love to see massive amounts of flying creatures , perhaps moving in herds
- way more deadly animals , something like pitch black where 1000s of creatures all fly in formation and kill everything
I love just exploring but would love to see a lot more dangers

Man, this game keeps on trowing little cool details even after hundreds of hours on it.
So yesterday i warped to a system and right from the start i see the distress signal and the pirates coming from behind me. They shot some at me but as i did not return fire they ignored me and moved to suround the big cargo ships.
So i ignored the distress signal and went to a planet to gather some materials i needed, after some time i look to the sky and see what looked like 7 shooting stars all coming down on the planet horizon, so i jumped in my ship and boosted to see what was that.
When i got close, i see it was the 7 pirate ships that attacked the cargo ships right from the beginning, but they was all moving to the planet so i decided to follow them, and finally they all landed in a trading post, i could not land there as they took all the landing spots (like a bikers gang) so i landed in the ground and jetpacked to them. All they ships had the same theme colour (dark red) and all the ships was 3 types of figher starships. I could talk to them like a normal trader, buy they ships or just trade goods. The curious was they was stocked with some rare merchandising and exotic materials. I guess those was the spoils from the attack they did. Real cool stuff.
And yours have a slight diferent design too. Cool stuff, now i wonder if thers some kinda rare crashed ship with a unique design too... hummm

Your map should just direct you to the quickest path to the Atlus destination, I believe.

It's post #9 on the first page.
You should put him in the ship. That's a lot of storage!
Thank you!!!

Has anyone ever figured out storage requirements for game patches on PS4? I had 60.89 GB of free space but the NMS patch wouldn't download for me. I deleted a couple of games I was going to delete anyway and got to over 80GB of free space and now the update will download... all 605 MB of it. Really? :/

Handy. Thanks for that, I'd seen that page before and somehow forgotten that it had info on sending crash reports! Turns out I have 14 crash logs, they've all been sent to Hello Games. Fingers crossed.
So, I don't know if this is a bug in the new experimental build but it's driving me nuts.
On the plus side, finally!
See the blue marker on the right? Moving my camera around.
It's pointing to nothing. Unless my eyes are deceiving me. I can't even remember what the blue marker is for.

I swear they've changed .... something in this patch. Planets seem further apart, some over two minutes. And the landscapes I'm seeing are more bizarre. More rivers, bigger caves, craters, islands floating in water. More animals on screen too, I must have had a shoal of 30+ jellyfish too. Also, slow flying birds, and lots of butterflies. I have no idea whether it's just luck or what, but I've had an incredible variety of stuff tonight. Got hunted by a straight up Jersey Devil, which was genuinely freaky.
Maybe they moved some sliders around.

Yay. Finally got the Atlas Pass V1!
Still having a blast with this game. Really fitting my current need for a game to veg out and relax with.

Finally got the brains the check my gametime on GOG.com and surprisingly, it's only 8 hours? really feels like much more than that as all this time I was on my beginning planet.
Apologies for the mistake.

oh my. I think you've just revitalized the game for me.
How does it work? Does it matter how many empty item slots you have? And do the additional items you pick up automatically get placed in the stack with the one from the deconstructed item? Does this impact Exosuit inventory or Ship inventory?

I'm on a desolate planet with animal species. It's incredibly Zinc deprived. I made the mistake of switching to a crashed ship, but not having enough Zinc to fix the Pulse Engine. And now I lost my old ship... I can either wander aimlessly to find my old ship, or continue to find 11 freaking units of Zinc.
Any advice? Am I missing an obvious resource of Zinc?

Once you dismantle the tech, it'll produce the stackable item variant. Once placed in inventory, items picked up will stack automatically. Crafted items( like crate sheets) will need to be manually stacked. if you try to move a stackable item between inventories where other stackable items exist, they will combine. For example: Exosuit 10/100 Vortex cube, Ship 1/100 Vortex Cube. If you transfer you'll get 11/100 Vortex Cube. So wait until the stack is full before you move a variant between inventories.
It's always best to check the resource requirements to fix the crash ship first, and then go find them before switching.
I've found a couple of juicy ships, but haven't got anywhere near the resources to fix them, so I'm currently hunting around trying to find them.
That was really good, and thought provoking, thanks for sharing!

Okay I have a question to ask everyone in this thread and I wasn't going to because I didn't want people to call me an Idiot or something along those lines but just a question.
Does anyone remember the interview back in 2014 about Sean talking about Open Lobbies?

Yup I have a similar one too, got it as a gift from an alien of sorts communicating to me through a monolith, only 17 slots though. Too cool, it has caused me to never want to upgrade again loli have something like that, as well. it seems like its a rare vy'keen multitool

Is there an easy way to find your way back to old systems besides browsing the starmap and hoping you find the right one?
Thanks so much for this!

Had a flock of mini-8 legged cows last night on my cube filled planet I just found, must have been 35-40 of the little buggers running around, also had a school of octupus, hundreds, were swimming around.

Is this taken after the patch? Because if it is, the weight/height is still in the wrong place.

Great story! I've never seen seven ships cruising around on a planet before. I've noticed some ship groups that are not only the same ship design, but the same person. Captain Xzerak, with Captain Xzerak right next to them. Clones? Takes a bit out of the immersion. I know the NPCs have a paper-thin veneer of believability, but they do add a bit of flavor and personal touch that the game needs more of.
I'd be surprised, but then again we still don't know what they've changed in the update. To your point though, I'm currently on a snowy forest moon and I've never seen so much life on the planets I've been to before. Groups of different species and their young all chilling out together, maybe 20-30 on the screen at a time.
Glad you liked it! Their podcast Daft Souls is quite good too.
I had the exact same problem...could not find zinc anywhere....didn't know what I was gonna do, then remembered that you can extract zinc from a technology you've built by dismantling it....it meant losing my next level suit shield, but I got my zinc and cheesed it our of there....hope that helps
Use your scanner - look for a question mark "marker" and go to it. If it has a data beacon, grab some plutonium and iron to create s bypass chip - from there look for a colonial outpost - these typically have a trading terminals which usually sell zinc. . . Good Luck!

Is there any way you can see when (time/date) you discovered a planet after uploading it?
