After that it's just a matter of taking the activated indium out each time you start a session and finding a system with a good price to sell it in.

Cooking up some Processed Meat is way better than recharging your suit with oxygen. You tend to burn up a lot of oxygen for a good recharge, but that meat only needs a few units to bring you back to full. Wish I'd tried cooking with the Nutrient Processor sooner. And if all you have is Mordite, you can cook that into meat flakes which then get further cooked into Processed Meat. I think you can even cook Faeceum back into Mordite. Yes. I'm eating poo poo.

Fly slowly over the surface of a planet with a lot of small rocks and blast the surface with a fully upgraded Positron Ejector to quickly get thousands of ferrites, carbons and oxygen, along with the local flavor. Oh and inevitably many creatures are caught in this so you can end up with piles of meats too.

There was a point in my gameplay before I had access to an oxygen-harvesting atmosphere collector and I was actually running out of oxygen constantly. So meat became my mainstay. No regrets. Once you have a base that just gets you oxygen it's not an issue, obviously, but still. ^^ I'm pretty sure if you pan around the cockpit there's at least one eyeball inside the living ship looking at you. Thankfully their hyperdrive counts as all three colors so it can go to any star, any time....

There's plenty of infinite loops involving just the single material. Carbon and Cobalt for instance - Carbon 100 Carbon -> 50 Condensed Carbon 50 Condensed Carbon + 50 Carbon -> Carbon Crystal Carbon Crystal -> 150 Condensed Carbon 150 Condensed Carbon -> 300 Carbon Cobalt 100 Cobalt -> 50 Ionized Cobalt 50 Ionized Cobalt + 50 Cobalt -> Tetracobalt Tetracobalt -> 150 Ionized Cobalt 150 Ionized Cobalt -> 300 Cobalt

So with the way you can buy schematics from the Space Anomaly, you can effectively skip most of the base-specialist missions if you feel like it. I appreciate the latitude that gives you if you just want to fool around and get salvaged modules or nanites.

Of course I spent all my quicksilver last year just before I got bored with NMS and stopped playing. I decided to play with living ships as they sound cool but yay, needs loads of quicksilver which means daily grind. I spent an hour getting some dumb animals to like me, called the space ball and started docking. Just past the bright ring on the way in, my ship became embedded in the walls and sat there bouncing and spinning happily. I had to restart but at least I finished the quest right? No, great big gently caress You from Hello games, quicksilver quests must be finished in one session. Well gee thanks, maybe kill some loving bugs so I can actually do it in one session. You can probably tell but that really pissed me off.

Go to a different solar system - some systems tend to spawn living ship upgrade modules much more often, and some systems don't seem to spawn them At all. (Also, I'm assuming you're in your living ship while boosting around, but if not you should be)

And the next big feature to be patched for free into this four-year-old game is... mechs. https://www.nomanssky.com/2020/04/no-mans-sky-exo-mech-release/ They're also adding even more QOL stuff, including a way to turn powerlines invisible and finally a tech that allows you to summon exocraft on any planet. haveblue fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Apr 7, 2020 |

So I've never played No Man's Sky. I stopped following it when it was released as the huge dumpster fire it was at launch. However, some of the new stuff coming out makes it look like it's a totally different game now, for the better. Not quite ready to jump in just yet though. I'd like to learn more. Where would you guys recommend I go to get the best feel for what the game is about now?

This kind of sums up everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5BJVO3PDeQ In truth, the game is two things; it's a base-building, resource-gathering, ship collecting game. In the other it's a vast, lonely, self-reflecting walking simulator in space. It's got a great soundtrack and honestly, it's the best chill game I've ever played. If I'm feeling stressed and don't want to be challenged, per se, I boot it up, drink as much as I like, and just explore casually. You can, of course, up the survival-game difficulty of it if that's more your style.

Yeah, with the way the game has evolved most parts of it work independently. There's a storyline to follow that gets into high-concept sci-fi revelations if that's your thing. There's the base building aspect, which you can dive deeply into and craft all kinds of stuff without having to look too far afield for resources, or you can exploit it to earn a ridiculous amount of money through automated production lines. You can try to build the ultimate spaceship by grinding upgrades. There's a community hub where you can do missions to give your exploring a little structure and reward. You can forget all of that and just take off into the black and hop from planet to planet living off the land and meeting weird animals forever. You can do these things in any combination and switch from one to the other at any time.

NMS is in a really good place right now. The game has a great identity, with all sorts of branches to it that you can pursue. My only real objection now is that none of the systems have any depth to them. I'm hoping that's where they go next, but I have no idea what that should look like.

So I watched the hour long video a few posts up, and I have one more question. What's moving around in the game like? Most of the appeal is going to be exploration, so I'd like to know about the stuff you use to explore, besides your legs. I've seen a video or two where people just sort of summon whatever vehicle or ship they want and it comes right to them. Is this how it works? Can you just choose anything you want, from spaceships to cars to jetpacks, from some menu and they'll just appear in front of you? Does this summoning cost resources? Do cars use fuel you have to buy? Also, you can build bases, right? Can you teleport back to these bases from anywhere? Once you go back to your base, can you quickly get back to where you were like a sort of Diablo portal? How do bases work and how does the game accommodate base building in a game about being a galactic nomad? GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Apr 9, 2020 |

GreatGreen posted:So I watched the hour long video a few posts up, and I have one more question. You can summon your spaceship to anywhere at any time for the cost of a little fuel. Summoning vehicles requires prep work but generally does not cost anything once a vehicle is available to summon on that planet. You always have a jetpack. Everything runs on resources you can find scattered around every planet, and there are upgrades you can install if you get far enough in that regenerate engine power for free. The most recent patch added a tech that makes it much easier to summon vehicles in brand new places, too. quote:Also, you can build bases, right? Can you teleport back to these bases from anywhere? Once you go back to your base, can you quickly get back to where you were like a sort of Diablo portal? You can teleport to a base from any teleporter, most star systems have one at the central station and you can also build and place your own (you can have more than one base). All teleporters have a shared history list so you can return to recent destinations. Also your ship magically comes with you so you don't have to teleport straight back every time. quote:how does the game accommodate base building in a game about being a galactic nomad? You have to kind of settle down and focus on one region of the galaxy if you want to build a really elaborate base, in which case the game becomes less about being a galactic nomad. Which is fine, the base building system is quite deep and capable but also completely optional if you'd rather explore. The teleporters also help because getting to your base from anywhere in the galaxy rarely takes longer than a minute or so (get back to your ship, fly to the local station, load screen).

So far the times that I've played the game I only ever messed around in the basic survival missions at the start of the game. How long does it take until you get into getting other ships or the freighter that the mech update talks about? How do you get it? Or is there a mission or something that explains all this?
