No Man's Sky

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

Surprised nobody has posted about the new expedition. I learned about the last one from Lemmy, so I'm returning the favor in case someone else learns about it from me.

Six weeks remaining!

I had a thought: Someone should create a plugin to add the Kerbal star/planet system to No Man’s Sky. We could visit the lil’ green guys. Help them with their space program. It’d be fun!

The hauler, explorer, and fighter are custom.

1. Gek Rogers (sort of like Buck Rogers)
2. Johnny Quasar, The Astronaut (taken from Johnny Quest, an old cartoon)
3. Korvax Smith
4. Vy'Keen Jones (wanted something like Indiana Jones)
5. Eru, The Traveller (Eru is the creator god of Tokien's Middle-Earth)
6. b9L7, The Construct (the letters and numbers are supposed to be inverted mirror images)
7. Squee, The Living Ship Operator, and Archibald Tuttle (Squee is from Magic The Gathering and Archibald Tuttle is a character from the movie Brazil)
8. Racer X (a character from the cartoon Speed Racer)
9. The Planeteer (supposed to be like The Rocketeer but with a sci-fi influence)
10. The Adversary (the main bad guy in my No Man's Sky universe and he's all decked in black because he's evil)

Pop!

I can't figure out how to place an Opulent Tapestry, it's always trying to snap into walls or the floor and when I switch to free build to stop the snapping it's like half way across the base. why is it so broken?

I'll bet you a nickel I'll never pull this off again.

New player here. A bit surprised to see this mission "procedurally" generated. Has anyone else seen this?

Came but to NMS after about 2 years off. Played a new permadeath game with a friend, no other options changed from normal. But I couldn't last more than a few minutes.

Had to sprint to ferrus, I had to sprint to sodium, and even then I died about 50% of the time. Three sodium plants got me to maybe 30% hazard protection. My hazard protection was ticking down at 1% per second. Falling from any height (even jetpack softened) meant my jetpack broke.

And after four attempts, I finally got the ship and recharged to max with a good ten harvested sodium plants before going off on the Hermetic Seal quest. Half way there, the game throws a storm at me. Totally open ground, no shelter at all. And my entire stock of Sodium goes in seconds and then I die.

My friend's hazard protection was going down a lot slower, even when we were next to each other and his sodium filled him up a lot more (he said about 50 to full, I needed over 100 to full).

No idea what I did wrong.

I just pulled this out of my stuff to show a friend.

I’m playing on gamepass and haven’t been able to see the new space stations yet. There aren’t any updates available to download for the game so not sure if it’s a gamepass thing or something I’m doing wrong.

OK, Ship Customization seems to be very specifically limited in a few ways:

• Ships are made from 4 parts: fuselage, engine, wings, and “reactor core” which is basically a module that sets the Class S,A,B,C.
• You can’t edit an existing ship, not even just the color, as far as I can tell; if you want "what I have but in green" you have to collect the salvage parts to clone it, then you can tweak the color.
• If you salvage your current ship, you can get X million units or whatever like you used to, OR you now have the option to reclaim a part…but you can only claim ONE of the 4 part categories.
• REMINDER: you can package up all your ship modifications and store them in your exosuit/freighter along with anything in ship storage...if you have the space. Salvaging a ship to get those cool wings in your inventory without emptying it first is gonna make somebody really mad this week, I guarantee it.
• I already found an S class Reactor Core for sale from the Explorer’s Guild (which I could only buy because my standing is super high)…so If I scrap this here long nosed fighter and salvage the fuselage, I would still have to go grab the other 2 parts “in the wild.”
• Oh, and: fighters, explorers, haulers only; no customizing your Solar, Exotic, or special expedition Speeder. Rats. Was hoping to fix their color schemes.

Still better than the nothing we used to have, but if you wanted to just nip on by and remove that puke green accent color on your otherwise perfect ship: I don't see a way to do that.
