Left my PC running today and turned off sleep. Hopefully steam downloaded the update at some point on its own so I can jump right into dying two minutes into my play through.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Update on my start in hell: Successfully marched across a firestorm to get the important part needed to repair my ship, found some strange lifeforms who apparently think nothing of 100+ °C. Lucky beasts! I had to gargle Yellow Stuff like a junky to keep my protection up.

Climbed the mountain to my ship again. Accidentally made two refineries after leaving the first one behind the ship and getting confused. Refined some stuff, now everything is ready for take-off. But oops, time's up! Tomorrow is work after all. :v:

Anyway, game is good.


Edit:

Also my boring rear end old PS4 runs the game fine. Seems I got lucky here. No low framerates or anything. :shrug:

Same here, the only frame rate hiccups I’ve noticed so far are obvious loading spots like reentry or warping.

Found my first drop pod post update, only to see it needed to be repaired first. Such a small but game changing touch. I like this update.

If you have steam on your phone you can tell it to download the update from the "library" section.

You need to build an analysis visor. A tutorial message should pop up shortly after you find the part youre looking for.

Yep, got it. It was two whole years ago so I don't really remember how it was back then but man, I had to intuit that a whole lot and would've appreciated a little more handholding like the filthy casual I've become in my old age. At least I got off my starting heat planet and now I'm going back to the Witcher 3 (I just met the crones last night and they traumatised me so much by their very existence that I needed something to chill out; i.e. No Man's sky) but I'll return when Geralt encounters some ridiculously tense moral choice that causes me to question my whole social axiom.. so in like half an hour or so...

Started a new random multiplayer game. Been loading shaders for a minute or two while a random dude talks to himself over voice chat.

Is the voice chat location based and I just happened to start right next to another player or is it lobby based?

Well gently caress me, that's nice.

E: I gotta say, as disapponted as I was with 1.0 I held on to my hope and my avatar, so far I'm enjoying the changes quite a bit. The little things here and there make it feel like what they should have released.

Course I'm on PC, sounds like the ps4 is having some pains.

I’m an idiot and insisting on doing a permadeath. Planet isn’t initially terrible. I make it to the ship get the beacon built and find my next stop. It’s a good distance away but I think I can make it. About a third of the way there I get a firestorm warning. Also the game only has my current objective marked and not my ship so I get lost trying to backtrack. I burnt a ton of resources and almost die making it to the ship. Not 5 seconds after I get in the storm ends.

gently caress you too, planet.

All that said, I don’t think I’ll actually get far. Looks like the same insane costs for everything are still in place for survival and even those free planet boosts are only 10 seconds instead of the apparent 30 seconds in normal.

Can anyone give me a rundown on how multiplayer works? I read the first result that came up on google but I'm still confused. https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/07/24/how-no-mans-sky-multiplayer-works-in-todays-massive-next-update/

Mainly I don't understand how your profile/character works. If I'm reading it right you can use any save and play with any friend's save as long as they're at the same difficulty? Does your character just carry over to your friend's world then and pop back into your world next time you play that? I've never played this game before so sorry if this is obvious to someone who has.

Quoting this because I'm hoping to learn more too. As I mentioned a few pages ago, I'm hoping to play with friends in different time zones and want to be able to jump in/out of a persistent world to work together on base building, etc. I've read the patch notes and googled stuff but can't find a good rundown on how it really works.

gently caress... really? I was hoping I wouldn't have to replay the plot but I loaded up my old save and there's no mainline quest to do anymore. Is there a new plot to follow or are they just rewarding new characters better?

poo poo, loading an old save fucks a lot of stuff up now that I'm looking around some more. The "storage container inventory" you can move things to while in a portable refinery isn't, as far as I can tell, actually accessible because... once you build storage containers they're full of all the old stuff they used to have and... for some reason I can't even build storage container #1 for reasons completely unexplained.

I really should just start over. This save was only 30 hours in and had almost everything anyway so, whatever... I'll just cheat engine if I get bored again.

I think it’s just part of the overhaul. They’re integrating base building and freighters way earlier as part of the tutorial. Hell, the process of getting your ship off the ground now involves building signal boosters and refineries and how you can build these tools then take with you (since base building is now anywhere).

From the very little of the plot I did pre next the plot is better tied I guess. There are new lines for sure

Funny to see they did it again to a whole new group of people with the PS4 version. Hang in there, guys, a functional game is just a year or two away!

I hope being the biggest liquid explosive manufacturer in the galaxy is still a good way to make mad dosh.

Ships are single person. Multiple people can land in your freighter and then you can go places. Or you can let your friends land then send the freighter to another system to be a dick to your friends.

The bugs of loading an old save continue. After building a base thingy, it reset my dialog with Polo (who I had talked to earlier and was still at the end of his questline) in a "space anomaly" questline that's sitting there next to my two other completed mainline quests. I definitely have to start a new game.

Edit: Also just noticed that there is a "load manual save" option but... no more manual save option. What the hell?
