No Man's Sky

A bit odd perhaps, at least Ii haven't run into this.

Planets in uncharted systems have no structures. However if you use a portal to travel to a planet in an uncharted system, a Portal will generate. I spent a good deal of time trying to portal to this world, and some other worlds in the same system. I've double-checked the glyphs several times. In all cases I get the address error, approximating. I'll end up in a different system around the same distance from the core every time.

I swear I've done this to generate a portal on uncharted worlds before. Did I not have enough coffee today? Has this been "patched"? As it is I portalled to a bunch of other systems anyways, so got a functional portal base for this galaxy. On to the next.

Glyphs 3207-FA00-6FFA

Twelve galaxies down, 244 more to go. I just realized that it would make more sense if I'd not repair everything every single time...

Hi all. I will try to reach all 256 galaxies. Last time I tried this I got bored at #10... But I sure do hope that this attempt will be different! I'm looking forward to sharing my progress here on this sub. By the way, I had no idea that you need emeril drive to jump to galaxy core :-)

I missed it the first time. Any recommendations for items to push through to the expedition from your main save?

I picked up this tall boi just before the Adrift Redux expedition, and I was going to remember where I picked him up but… I didn't. Flipped back through my discoveries, no sign. It's the tallest of these big synthetic creatures I've discovered. I'm certain it's the tallest creature I've discovered, but it's not in my wonders either (which make me curious to backtrack to find the tallest that is in my wonders).

I wish you could export your discoveries to a CSV file, or something that let you search through and sort more effectively, but is there any easy way to figure out where a pets origin world was?

Cull animals, kill predators, kill sentinels... any other ones that stack well? I sort of like collecting missions while on a station and then not doing them at all. Eventually I'll do a quicksilver mission in the Nexus and accidentally complete like two dozen missions at once...

Doing the Adrift Expedition Redux (even though I've already done Adrift, I just like doing Expedition), and ran into this at Rendezvous 4, a derelict freighter pretty much crashing into the planet. It apparently tilts gravity, and severely hampers your jump jets. TIL I guess.

I also did the freighter task for free, saving the scanner, so thank to whoever parked a derelict freighter right on top of the rendezvous. Saw lots of other people going into the freighter at the same time, so I think it helped out.

Hi folks, just finished the "Adrift" Expedition 13 redux -- currently running until Dec 25th.

First thoughts:

(1) If you have some sellable scrap or something in your main save, push them into your expedition inventory and sell them at the first space station. This will help you get started. But, perhaps more importantly, you can buy a lot of https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Emergency_Signal_Scanner for about 1.4M each -- which are normally about time limited, so you can buy out the stock of ~14 at each space station and bring them back into your main save.

(2) Due to the nature of this particular expedition, bases don't show up on the map (although you can still fly to them). There are a lot of bases already built with names like "easy larval cores" or "robot horses" or similar. When you are looking at your task list, sometimes it is easiest to just go to the space station and then warp to someone's base.

(3) In particular, the one that says "climb to 1400u" -- just go to the Rendezvous planet for that phase of the expedition and land on a mountain. There are several near the rendezvous point that are sufficiently tall.

(4) For the one that says "salvage a starship" or similar -- probably the least resource intensive version is to find a base with a crashed sentinel ship.

(5) Nanites are in short supply, so it is unlikely you'll be able to have enough to import a multi-tool or ship unless you're cheesing things. Even to complete the mission to get 1200 nanites, I was doing things like processing slime in my personal refiner.

(6) The ghost frigate is awesome.

Reminder to claim your Starborn Phoenix (Gold version of Starborn Runner) at the quicksilver station either before/after your expedition.

Starborn Phoenix -- a gold version of Starborn Runner -- free to Steam users. (Probably works with Cross Save to get on other systems, but unsure.)

Thank you, Hello Games

I've played every NMS expedition and while there have always been a problem Communication Stations, it wasn't until this latest expedition that I felt like trolling was getting worse.

On the first day of the expedition, I claimed a spot at the 2nd rendezvous system around some Runaway Mould, built a small base, and uploaded it. I slowly kept adding to the base over time, especially once I completed the expedition. So far I've had at least 8 different people build on top of it, which means I have to report their bases just so I can walk around my own. While I've had some people build close to my base, I have never had anyone literally build on the same spot, much less multiple people.

It stinks that Hello Games isn't doing a better job of making sure bases can't overlap, but it stinks even more that people take advantage of it.

Some thoughts. You can complete it in one sitting.

(1) You will need to earn about 15M credits to buy enough frigates so that you can complete the mission where you complete three frigate missions. I recommend putting some expensive sellable items into the expedition so you can get this started as soon as you finish the first milestone. This is the only timed element to the expedition.

(2) Completing the mission to visit 8 uncharted systems is harder than it sounds. Everyone is fanning out, so you'll have to jump a long way from the path to find uncharted systems. I recommend just stocking up on warp fuel and doing this last.

(3) The most annoying time consuming mission is fishing for 5 uncommon icy fish. Find someone's existing fishing outpost to speed this up once you have the fishing rod.

(4) At one point in the fifth phase, you're supposed to wait for community research. Except you can buy the item for quicksilver right away without waiting. The tooltips are a bit wrong here. Just go to the quicksilver synthesis companion on the space anomaly.

(5) Getting the Normandy is cool if you missed expedition 2 previously. Nice that the reward is a frigate and not just another ship for the collection. It has a special class, "Recon".

Overall, can be done in one sitting if you start the frigate missions as early as possible. Don't worry about the community research.

November 7, 2024. Hello,

This year has already been a very busy one for No Man’s Sky, with 6 updates already this year, including the huge Worlds Update. Our last update, The Cursed, dropped just a couple of weeks ago, and players have been loving the spooky Halloween vibe.

In game development some features take weeks or months, and others take years. Today we are releasing some features that have been years in the making.

CROSS-SAVE

Starting from today we are rolling out Cross-Save support on all platforms. This has been a huge undertaking, and is one of most requested features.

I think this is a bug? I read that this apparently happened to some people with some previous expedition reward ships, but it's the first I've seen it. Steam version.

When I tried to claim the ship, my only claim option was to buy it for 1400 nanites. I hadn't that much left, I basically spent all my nanites on minotaur AI and upgrades (because fuck having to fight yourself in this game). Since I couldn't buy, I had a warning I would not be able to claim it later, and even though I cancelled, while I was trying to farm for nanites that game switched to normal save and I couldn't claim anymore (even from Anomaly).

I've confirmed in another save that the reward is available, but since I don't have that much nanites, I haven't try claiming yet, just in case it got eaten up again.

Like the title said, went to hatch the companion on my main save and nothing happened, I didn’t get the pet and it consumed the egg, I have the slots needed for a new pet but I just didn’t get it

So, now that I've got the Boundary Herald I was considering outfitting it for raiding and seeing if I could make something formidable out of it like my Sentinel Interceptor. For the Interceptor I just used the Sentinel Cannon and the shield-leeching laser... for the Herald, unfortunately, the Sentinel Cannon isn't an option. So what do you use if not that?

I was thinking Positron Ejector and Cyclotron Ballista but it's been a long time since I've re-evaluated my choices so I'd like second opinions.

This is the grand reward of the "Cursed" expedition. Space is getting tight in all our collector's hangars. If you got a chance to test drive this new lady, what is your verdict? Will you keep it? Why? Why not? Curious what you think.

So, I've reached the Genetic Glitch objective... I'm in the Andalen Osaka system... the one the third gate takes you to.

I've found the light creature on the Planet of Light but hunting for every animal across an entire planetary body has never been my thing. I really don't want to do it for five planets (none of the others stand out as being able to spawn anom animals).

Where's the other anomalous animal and about what does it look like? Is it terrestrial or does it live in air, underground, or water?

If you're on the Cursed Expedition, this crashed ship might be a nice upgrade from the C-class starter ship. It's a crashed ship, so lots of repairs to get it into shape, but even partial cheap repairs early in the expedition gave it more cargo and better performance than the starter.

Found on the first rendezvous world, Ecorsfi in the Temarifi X system.

Coordinates: +39.79, -167.59 Planet Glyphs (for later retrieval): 5047.FCA7.8448

Anyone found a way to silence the voices that taunt us frequently throughout the whole expedition?

I'm having a frustrating enough time of it, I don't enjoy NMS' early game, without this additional vexation.

Whenever I get an item I get the notification from the previous item I received instead. Such as while fishing, I get a notice that I got my heaviest X fish but Y fish was added to my inventory. Then the next catch Z fish is the biggest, but X fish is added to my inventory.

The Mac update is not yet out so I cannot compare.
