I'm on PC, is there a way without hooking up a controller?

What I meant is discovering every species on a planet SHOULD be difficult. Like, 'scouring the entire planet difficult', just like in real life. Given that this portion is not a requirement of the game, I think the way they handled it is just fine.
That all said, I found all the species of a planet in under two hours.
Change the neighborhood. Fly to a completely different section of the planet and when that doesn't work anymore, change the whole damn planet.
Which actually reminds me to post this shot, which turned out to include my current, rather awesome ride:
This must the central Crashville or something, because if there are 3 crashes this close to each other, I don't want to know the planetary statistics.
Should be permanent, or at least my ship never reverted back before I actually bought a new one once again and I did shut the game completely in between.

All you guys talk about getting to the center and I haven't even left my first system yet! Having trouble finding antimatter...
I made the mistake of loading my warp cell into my hyperdrive before I repaired it. When I completed the fix my drive was empty
I'll get there though
My question is, I remember right after release people getting to the center rather quickly with upgraded hyper drives etc.. Why is it now people are saying "weeks of warping all day long" is required? Different spawn points in the galaxy, patch change, difference in engine power... what?

Galaxy got way bigger with the day 1 patch. Also a lot of people don't want to keep hyperdriving for (real) days, it's just boring.
Guys and gals I'm after some help please!
I can't seem to get antimatter, I've had the hyperdrive fro some time, I've completed the 2 planets I'm at (for creatures) and have found loads of outposts etc. I've upgraded my suit to 20 slots and my ship is a 21 slot ship and I've got about 500k units - put around 12 hours in.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong :S

You get an antimatter recipe in the second system I think. Not sure if you will find antimatter for sale in the first system. Hopefully someone sells it though.
I'm guessing it was the patch. It seems a significant amount of the game.was finished that way. Originally Sean said it would take the average gamer 40-100 hours to reach the center. That seems extremely optimistic now.
Perhaps the early streamers pre patch were closer to the center. Not sure.
wait, how do you get to the 2nd system without antimatter!?

Try scanning the planets from space. An icon should appear that has the alien who will give you one antimatter I think. Been awhile though since I did it. But the scan from space should direct you to the outpost that has the alien giving away the solo antimatter
So I've one question that was probably answered a billion times. When I build upgrades for my exosuit like jetpack boost, shield extender and so on, do they really need to get linked together? I saw borders popping up when I put something +2 next to +1. Does that mean my 3 jetpacks upgrades have to be in one row to work? That would be bad cuz my upgrades are all over the place right now.

they will work anywhere, but organizing similar upgrades adjacent to each other will provide bonuses. you can get a huge boost if you organize your upgrades right

Are you stuck like me? I just keep hoping to find someone selling it but so far no luck. I really don't want to restart but I guess I may have to eventually if I can't resolve this issue.
Okay thx
what? I assumed once I had the v3 upgrade I just replaced v2 - is that not correct?
seems so, but might try the scanning from space trick suggested
Ritzboof
Member
nope, they stack, and its ideal that you use all of em if you have the space to spare. to be more specific, try to organize stuff in a line like theta > tau > sigma for the biggest bonus

Is there an "official" nomenclature for planets?
So far I renamed them to a somewhat matching reference or a cool name.
But now I started adding additional information.
Like so:
Shiva EC8_0A
Shiva= whatever I feel like naming the planet
E = added when there is extreme weather (L = low atmosphere)
C = cold (H= hot, R = radiation, T = toxic, N = normal)
8 = 0-9 scale for Flora
_ = standard Sentinel level (- = more aggressive, / = less aggressive)
0 = 0-9 scale for Fauna (0 = empty)
A = Aluminum (first letter of the seemingly most abundant non-standard element on the planet)

I assumed you already found the one antimatter but a glitch happened or something. If you haven't gotten the one antimatter from the alien, then scan from space. An outpost icon will appear on one of the planets. Go there and the alien will give it to you.
In the second system after you warp, you can scan from space and a manufacture plant icon will appear on one of the planets. Go there(you will have to bust the door open) and you get the ability to craft antimatter.

That's actually a great idea.
Finally got my third ship with 27 slots @ 3.2 mil. Took forever to find one that I could place upgrades next to shields/hyper/pulse drive. Weapons are isolated but don't care about them so much. I'll probably hang on to this one for a while until I find a gek planet. Still need to find more aluminum for my Tau warp drive.
Also between what people were selling at this trading post and what could be found around I was able to upgrade just about all my suit stuff to Theta level. Underwater, all elemental shields, regular shields, jump pack, health. I have more multi tool stuff that could be upgraded too.
I have it in my head that blueprints drop less if you don't have their prerequisites installed so hoping the remaining ones I need drop soon.

Eh. The only thing that's relevant from space is what minerals you can find, and if there's green ! items. Thus I go:
(Since my PSN is Articate)
Articus <SomeName> !EmAuNi
Denotes there are ! items, and you can find Emeril, Gold and Nickel. It's also pretty self-explanatory. Flora and fauna aren't relevant, since you can find carbon on non-flora planets, and even zinc and platinum, while other barren worlds don't have that, so it's not really a good indicator.
I been listening to Deus Ex:HR soundtrack and mass effect while playing fits well
Ok I'm trying to get to the center of the Galaxy now. I've got all my warp drives stacked in row, but I'm still only getting about 400-500 light years per jump. I'm hearing about other people get 1500 light years per jump.
What am I missing here? Does your type of ship also impact how far you can jump?

You don't need to restart.
If nothing else works, the occasional alien will sell antimatter from the docking bay in the space station.
The exact same thing happened to me, I was stranded for a while.

When you first build the hyperdrive it has enough juice for one trip.

Which ship upgrade/blueprint is used for allowing tracking with the plasma cannon? I've had it on a couple of ships but it always came with 'em.

Wish the patch had fixed the crashes and the blueprint bug. What exactly did it fix?

I might be imagining it but to me it seems I have more crashes and slowdowns after that latest patch.
Once the "go to the center" orange line stops just unlock free exploration and go forward the center a bit more.
Guys, I'm unmotivated as fuck right now.
I did the Atlas quest, probably 30+ hours in looking forward to the end and I was completely
I'm debating just getting the trophies and quitting. Is it even worth it to go for the center ? I don't want it spoiled but If I'm going to grind for another 30 hours for nothing this game will go in the books as a huge dissapointment.
Should I just YouTube the ending and wrap up it up?
Also how do I get better ships? I have 10 mil but ships don't spawn with more than 23 slots at the stations.

Then do not go to the center, but do not watch the ending on Youtube.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
There was a crashed ship for me to investigate on the map (an icon pointing to it) but decided to mine gold instead.
Come back to my ship after doing some mining and the waypoint to the crashed ship has vanished.
Are the waypoints only available for a set time?

They disappear either if you
A) Go to the ship, it'll wipe it from your objectives.
B) Reload your game using the reload option in the menu.

Got back from vacation. Installed patch and beta firmware. Game still looks like a broken mess on both of my Ps4s.
I've emailed Hello games support and posted in several forums with no responses anywhere. Found some others via YouTube with the same issue. Problem is exactly like the one with uncharted 4 before it was fixed via patch.
http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/UNCHARTED-4-A-Thief-s-End/Strange-texture-bug/td-p/45758466
As soon as I get close enough to the object, it fixed itself. It's annoying and ruins my screenshots but hasn't "broken" the game for me.
Same object above but a few feet closer.

The best is to repair shipwrecks, and get at least +1 every time.
I woulda swore I picked up the a homing blueprint for my starship cannons, I don't see it in my list though Is there a homing upgrade for the cannon or maybe I just looked at it wrong?
I got the Omega upgrade to the multi-tool mining laser, holy shit that just melts sentinels.

Patch notes are finally there.
Patch Notes
Since No Mans Sky on PC released last Friday the team has been incredibly busy. Weve gathered all the support requests to support@hellogames.co.uk, but were also tracking posts on Steam, GoG, Reddit and anywhere we can find online.
Right now the team is fully focused on categorising and fixing support issues in order of priority, based on the number of people they are affecting. The information and crash dumps youve posted have been indispensable in helping us track down and fix these issues.
Weve now released 3 patches, and hopefully they really improve the experience for everybody. As you can see its been a huge amount of work for a small team. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Next week expect at least one more major update, which will enter testing on Monday once we finish working on it this weekend. Once all our support requests have been answered then we can begin improving the game with new features
See below for notes on all three recent patches!
Patch 2
For patch 2 our focus was on the most reported bugs or crashes. Our aim was to improve stability, and make sure players saves are safe in future.
Stuck under the world
It was possible for players to save their game stuck under the terrain, leaving them stuck. This was caused by getting shot down in atmosphere, and their ship reaching ridiculous speeds as it crashed to the planet. This has been resolved.
Whilst it won't happen anymore, if you are currently already stuck under the world, we detect this and do our best to rescue you.
Crash after warping
Occasionally at random the game would lock up after a warp, or return to desktop. This was due to very specific timing in hardware (a threading specific bug) meaning that unfortunately for some people it was regular, and for others they would never be able to recreate it. This was our most reported crash during gameplay, and has now been resolved.
Game failing to save until you died
If the player died, and then loaded the game ten times without saving, and then died, player progress wouldnt be saved from then on until you died again. This is fixed now! This was also causing players saves to grow in size.
Crash fixes in scanning
Quite a rare crash, but in certain scenarios it was possible to scan from space or on planet and crash the game.
Crash warping inside a freighter
When warping into a battle sometimes the player warped into the inside of a freighter and everything went crazy
This is fixed now.

I wish there were release dates/times on those patch notes. Do I have patch 3? When did I get it? Was it before or after my most recent attempt to run the game that caused it to crash within two minutes of startup? Great for Hello Games that 70% of support issues have been solved; when are you going to get to mine?
All of those patches have been released to all platforms, AFAIK.
