Did the new patch add all this stupid volumetric fog and poo poo? Thank god for terrain following auto pilot because i landed during a storm and pretty much flew into a giant valleys wall because i couldn't see 10m ahead of me. No thanks, scrolling on a controller is rear end. I like to keep it this way, where I just have to lightly tip left or right to flip through the tabs.

Fun bug: I got my ship stuck in a freighter and while it's vibrating and freaking out taking damage that vibration is for some reason being applied to the Move controller pointer in the menu so it's bouncing around too much for me to hit the quit button

Disclaimer: Trying to wrangle your ship out of the geometry if you haven't fallen too deep in may work better in some instance, e.g. your own freighter.

Tends to occur when I pulse towards my freighter and don't drop out of it before I reach it. Have had to quit at least a few times when I couldn't unstick myself from the geometry and just kept bouncing around inside the freighter like a pinball.

Oh man, I've had this exact thing happen multiple times too! It seems like it happens if you're jumping to somewhere that [i]isn't[/] your freighter, but your freighter is in the path. Like if it is: you - - - - - - - freighter - - - - - - space station in a line and you're targeting the station (even if by accident since your jump target flops around), you're gonna have a bad time.

Speaking of "thing in the way of where you want to go" and annoying bugs, I think the thing I would most like for Hello to fix is when my ship absolutely, positively insists on pulsing to some random marker that's kinda sorta near where I want to go. My cursor is clearly over the station you dumb ship, stop re-aiming me towards the abandoned building on the moon behind the planet off to the side.

Hooray, the living ship quest is done. It didn't give me the opportunity to save before the actual ship activation since it messaged me the moment I got back in my regular ship after collecting souls. If you get the ship in the system with the portal coordinates, is it always the same ship? (white/orange hammerhead) I don't mind the look of it and I don't think I've seen that specific one before, but if half of everybody in the game has that one in particular I'll probably hunt around for a different one

There was one time I was doing a multiplayer quest and I couldn't even pulse back to the drat portal (this was back when you needed to portal back to your own galaxy) because it kept targeting bases that other players had left all over the planet.

Moving it to an exosuit tab or my active starship lets me sell it but not the freighter if you press 'c' to switch inventories you're selling from, does the freighter inventory even show up?

Only needed 10 minutes to find a ship I liked versus 5 hours of jumping from planet to planet continually restarting the quest hoping to randomly find one I liked. I tried the grindy method before (with a 2nd void egg) and ended up just giving up and reverting to a manual save before I bought the egg.

I mean the only thing i care about is getting a cool looking freighter without having the hassle of looking at every single loving freighter that warps in. It would be nice to get the right exotic and hauler too instead of wasting hours at trade stations looking at every ship that came in. Might as well give myself 20k QS too haha those weekly missions are such a waste of time for 250 QS. Is there a good guide on how to use it? Like do i need to have a freighter/ship that i want to edit or can i literally just add poo poo?

I started playing via Gamepass earlier this year but am just now really getting into it, and NMS is good, fun, and hella broken, which I generally just how I like games. I've put in an embarrassing amount of time in the past few days and am pretty glad I didn't start until recently. If anyone can answer: conceptually I'm really interested in grabbing a good hauler and putting together a beefy mining ship, but beyond the possible Anomaly Detector drops I'm not sure if there's anything to actually do it with it in terms of efficiency that isn't better solved by finding a good deep mining spot or whatever. Is there anything I'm overlooking there? edit: Oh, also, does anyone know of any half-decent methods of actually grabbing frigate upgrade modules that aren't grindy as hell? Because not having upgraded warp capabilities or the item teleport functionality is loving killing me.

Piracy for the latter. Freighter cargo pods often have them, and you won't lose any rep unless you shoot the free floating ones. and rep is cheap so shoot those too.

Recipes for things need to come around more often. They should be learnable on the Anomaly. There’s even a spare terminal for them. I want to learn glass, but also not fly around looking for one of the manufacturing facilities.

Can confirm that even with maps, it takes a long goddamn time to get all the blueprints from manufacturing facilities. Compounded by the ones that either give you something other than a blueprint, or are bugged and give you nothing even when solved correctly. And by the time you have the full crafting tree, the passive income from the activated indium farm you set up weeks ago probably has you at or near the money cap anyway

You can refine glass with a refiner from Silicate Powder, which is the byproduct you get from terrain manipulating normal ground. No blueprint required, but if you need a ton of glass it's a pain to get a lot of Silicate powder.

One fun way to get a ton of SP without ruining the landscape is to dig down to bedrock then just carve out in all directions at every base or just where ever you want. Frigate modules is seriously just shooting freighters it literally has no down sides or repercussions besides summoning sent fighters which you can farm for frigate mission consumables then you just dock anywhere to lose 5 stars. It's the most laziest, half rear end system i've ever seen and they should honestly just toggle off sentinels because they have no point at all.

Worth noting re: blueprints, like many things in this game the grind is 100% optional depending on if you want to abuse exploits to skip it-- Manufacturing facilities don't "give you a recipe" so much as they "give you 1 currency to learn a recipe" and also, coincidentally, immediately drop you into the skill tree to spend it. It's a difference that's largely academic, but if you enter with 1 or more "Factory Override Units" you can spend more than one when you get to the selection. The "non cheat" way to take advantage of this is that Nexus missions sometimes reward them; the exploit is that you can exit the dialogue without spending one and then just go dupe it and keep doubling them until you have enough to buy every recipe in one sitting.

No blueprint required, but if you need a ton of glass it's a pain to get a lot of Silicate powder. It seems way easier to just put a pair of Bio-Domes in a base and fill them with Frostwort and stockpile Frost Crystals easily. Two Bio-Domes give 2496 frost crystals an hour, which is a little over 62 glass an hour. Scale up if desired. Why work for it?

the disadvantages of a frost crystal dome is that 1) you need 5 glass to start with, 2) it's time-gated rather than effort-gated, and finally 3) refining is a hidden system so you have to already know that frost crystals make glass, which requires learning the blueprint, and you need to know that some blueprints can be refined instead, which the game never tells you, whereas silicate powder straight up tells you what its only use is on its tooltip.

The fact that so many things just become pointless is really irksome, will i continue to get frigate salvage modules after i finish the tech tree? Yes but only to sell for a small amount?? Everything should scale up to something and that's not units because that's a dead end where you have nothing to spend money on anymore. All you'd need is a system to build poo poo from scratch, scan ships and have a chance to learn the different components or scrap them for a guaranteed component learned. Why would you hunt for ships when you can learn all the different components and build your own kitbash from scratch? Scale it up to capital ships and frigates and throw all the dead end poo poo into their construction tying up the loose ends of collectibles. Now it becomes get a class C thing, find different badass looking parts then assemble and upgrade it each time unlocking more cool looking components. Oh look there's a massive time sink that actually rewards you by getting all the cool poo poo you want instead of getting frustrated by the randomness and just cheesing your way to what you want.

Better to have a small Dioxite mine, a small Radon mine, and then a refiner to turn 9999 of both into 9999 Frost Crystals. Hell, if you stagger that poo poo with multiple stacks and refiners, you can even refine all those crystals into glass while the next batch of crystals is cooking. And if you have the blueprint, you can also skip that last step and craft huge stacks of glass all at once, which is even faster!

how are you "screwed" if they fix it if the result is "you have to build some more domes" or "you have to use refiners" bugs might always be fixed, things that are working might get broken, play the game as it is and worry about tomorrow tomorrow (although their track record on resolving the ones that are helpful seems to be pretty low)

(or i guess you could build bases but if i'm going to torture myself with architecture it's gonna be in dwarf fortress)
