DyneAvenger posted:So I loving beefed it on the Armourer's mission to blow up a supply depot because i shot it up from my ship without reading that you need to use your multitool for it to count. And i can't for the life of me find another supply depot, even after like 30 minutes of flying around spamming the scanner and finding abandoned houses and poo poo. Either find another depot randomly or take a "galactic terminal" mission to destroy one.

Well, the stupid Artemis quest chain just reset itself after I got several hours into it. I leave a planet and get hailed, oh hey Artemis. Isn't that what you said when you hailed me the first time? *checks log* God dammit. Unless the storyline is that Artemis is stuck in an infinite temporal loop. Then it would be okay but I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT IS THE CASE.

The aliens can’t touch you. When you clear a set of eggs, pick it up and quickly jet pack to the roof and set it up next to another egg cluster.

TjyvTompa posted:Honestly I haven't had many problems. I have a freighter, several bases and I completed all the missions from the different employees you have. I have reached the last atlas station, gotten all blueprints for the fuels, living glass et.c., the new atlas stone replacement thingys and so on. I am at the end of the Artemis questline (doing the mercenary/explorer quests now). I'm playing multiplayer with a buddy as well. Both of us on pre-NEXT saves on PS4. And we're seeing the same thing with uploaded discoveries. But I'm pretty sure the culprit is their servers. He keeps renaming planets and whenever I'm disconnected from the servers they keep reverting to their original names. If I'm connected I see his names again. Other than that we've only encountered some slowdown and a bit of redundant scanning of animals if we're standing next to each other. Animals that we've scanned pop up with a red dot again, and when scanned they all are called Feed. They still pay out units and nanities, so it's no big deal. You might say they're feeding our bank accounts  We're both getting glyphs from unmarked graves, if that's what you refer to with unlocking symbols. During the sixty or so hours played, he's been doing all the questlines, built a base, got a freighter, blueprint scanner etc while I'm just zipping around from planet to planet, killing sentinels and pirates and doing fuckall with regards to questing. I can use portals to go to his bases, and whenever I'm at one I get the base buildingmenu, so I'm pretty sure we could build poo poo together if I could be bothered. All in all it's fun game 4 out of 5, would scan again.

When I was joining random multiplayer games to upgrade my exosuit slots, I was also shopping. The whole suit grind netted me an S rank ship and multi tool.

I think I may have missed getting the recipe for microprocessors, because I had a stack of them already when my get overseer time me to get the recipe from the korvax. So I think the game skipped the part where it gave me the actual recipe. I can still buy microprocessors, of course, so it's not game-breaking, but will I be able to pull the recipe for microprocessors out of a manufacturing facility or vendor instead?

I don't even remember getting the recipe for superconductors. Apparently I got it somewhere in the first like 5 hours of play So has anyone data mined what upgrades for Freighters will eventually be? There are currently literally none, right? Also where the blue hell do you get those frigate mission boosting items?

Good thing I sold those green items cause the next system I jumped to had this for sale in the station. It might not be S rank but damnit it's mine. Upgraded from a class B with half the slots broken. Is there an upgrade that speeds up scanning time when you hold F?

precision posted:I don't even remember getting the recipe for superconductors. Apparently I got it somewhere in the first like 5 hours of play I've gotten some of them ( Mind control device, explosive drones or whatever. ) from smashing up sentinel spaceships. I've also gotten recipes for atleast one of them from manifacturing plants. So just grab/buy yourself a fighter, load it up with some extra shields and weapons, and blast some of them out of the sky if you want a couple. (I'm a big fan of the shotgun/Positron one. It's short range, but it'll rip apart most ships in 1-3 shots. It's also excellent for destroying all ground-based sentinels as well. )

Whenever I get in it they all vanish until I leave it again.

Are albumen pearls worth dealing with the sentinel zerg rush? I was exploring my nice planet and found a bunch of sentient plants, they opened up to reveal pearls and I just left them there cause I ain't up for that bullshit yet Also apparently I built my base about half an hour's walk from a trading post. There was a manufacturing facility beyond that that I tried to blow up the door with my ship's guns, but as soon as I got in the ship in the first place I lost the waypoint, and when I outran the sentinels I also couldn't find the facility any more

Albumen pearls no longer trigger sentinels, but they're not a particularly good source of money any more.

RBA Starblade posted:I was wondering if you were allowed to use the ship to aim at ground-based critters. Whenever I get in it they all vanish until I leave it again. The game is just terrible at quickly despawning things. I've seen the quads vanish off if I go too far away. I have successfully killed both large animals and obscene amounts of sentinels in my ship though. But for the most part they'll stick around especially if they're pre-placed, or are currently in battle with you. I just swoop in slowly, fire off a barrage, and then loop around to fire again. The smaller sentinels can sometimes get one-shot by individual positron pellets if it hits their eye perfectly. While the quads seem to die in a single shot as well. With the walkers I'll easily melt off all the armor on the legs in the first swoop. Quads being so easy to kill on the ground makes some of the missions trivially easy. Since the Kill X quads always just seems to be 1-2. And since a lot of manifacturing plants are often guarded by 2 quads, you can just fly by, shoot out 2 shots, and you're done.

Ah cool, I'll try it again later then. I got one egg then had to run from horrors, but when I got in the ship they were gone until I got back out thinking it was safe (it wasn't lol). The egg bought me an upgrade to double my jetpack time that I hope doesn't matter where it was installed so it all worked out.

Duke Chin posted:How do you claim your old base? I have a storage unit I can't build or get access to because it's somewhere ~~in the Ether~~ after the next update and I can't get the blueprint reader machine to work and that Home Base Restoration mission is broken You are supposed to have a mission if you are on an old save for reclaiming it. If you do have it, then scan a planet from your ship and it should ping a base computer that you fly to and use to get your stuff back. I haven't successfully tried it yet because the quest was completely broken for me, but allegedly it has been patched. d0grent posted:Is the multi-tool you get from stations right next to the dude who sells multi-tool upgrades? Cause it won't let me interact with those multi-tools at all... I find that it is much easier to interact with it in third person. In first person you have to dance around to find the perfect sliver of an angle that works.

I dunno how those are in regards to ships. Not that it would matter much, because they basically respawn more or less as quickly as you can kill them. Hopping in a plane and blasting them won't solve much.

It sounds like everyone is a lot farther into NEXT than I, but I'm having a lot of fun relearning how to play No Man's Sky. I pre-ordered the game on PS4 the night before release because I was pumped to get a little high and explore alien worlds, but eventually I found myself just chaining hyperspace jumps together and only stopping long enough to harvest materials for more jumps, and I lost interest quickly after that. Now I'm back with a fresh save and it feels a lot more like Factorio than it used to, which I dig. There are still some hitches, like taking a 7 minute hike towards a point of interest just to discover that it requires a bunch of crap I've never heard of, and finding copper is a huge pain in my rear end, but I can feel the hooks digging into me. I'm only to the part where you're instructed on how to buy and sell items, which meant I could finally open up some of my precious inventory slots, but I'm eager to get back into it and hopefully find myself a freighter.
