Anime Store Adventure posted:I liquidated my old base and all it’s living glass to sort of give myself a “soft restart” with just me and my ship and a boatload of credits (10m). You'll be given a free freighter as part of the tutorial/intro. Not saying it'll be amazing, but you'll get one.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I’d just love to have one more extra storage where I can shove one stack of each of those sorts of “secondary” resources like nickel, gold, whatever, so that if I change ships or multitools I have a nice stock build to replace fully all the mods that I liked. Aside from your suit inventory, your suit Cargo inventory, your starship inventory, your freighter inventory and your Base Storage Crate inventories (10 of them!), you mean?

juggalo baby coffin posted:why the hell cant i mouse over planets in the galaxy view to see what kind of planet they are? i get it for undiscovered systems, but I discovered a really cool 'airless' world that was literally greyscale, it was a really neat looking effect. but i can't find it now, and it's really annoying. Don’t think anyone answered this so here - You’re looking In the wrong place. Look in the Discoveries section of the menu, you can see all the stars and planets you’ve visited on the left. You can see all their attributes and poo poo right there when you click them, and can set a waypoint on the galactic map to a specific one when you find it.

I put a base on the nearest planet to mark it so I could come back when I could afford it. If you’re on PC I think I could get you there? Dunno if that would work actually and I’m not actually home right now to try. And actually it was really nice to hit a top tier multi tool early because then I didn’t need to worry about replacing modules when I swap it out.

ToastyPotato posted:Finally killed a walker after several minutes of seemingly doing little to no damage to him with my A class ship. I think the hitbox for it is wonky as gently caress. Tons of times it seemed to eat shots and take no damage, even though the damage numbers were showing. Eventually it got to a point where finally I seemed to be melting through the armor. When I killed it, the loot barrel from it was bugging out and I thought I was going to rage when it kept vanishing as I mined it. But I finally got my goddamned walker brain. The Walker hit box is wonky as HELL for ship weapons fire. And you need to hit specifically on the armour pieces in a specific order (head > legs > body) to actually kill the thing. It’s easier to kill it on foot once you have some survivability/damage upgrades. E: and by that I mean one s class shield upgrade, 1 s class boltcaster upgrade, and plasma cannon with one upgrade.

Bruceski posted:Freighters being attacked only triggers when jumping into a system, right? I passed up my first one because it was ugly, and after about 40 jumps since I simply haven't seen the event occur again. Want to make sure there's not some easier way to roll for it. Get a Conflict Scanner in your ship and warp to systems with high levels of conflict, you're more likely to run into pirates/freighter rescues there. Full disclosure the conflict scanner needs a Walker Brain to craft so you'll need to take down one of the big Sentinel walkers.

Thundarr posted:Speaking of base building, is there a realistic way to combine rooms on multiple floors without needing to use exterior stairs or a huge connecting chamber out of wall panels? To add to what has been said before, there are also interior stairs pieces you can learn from the BP analyser. A couple of different types. Mostly they take up one cuboid room "unit". My own question - can someone explain how the Buy/Sell percentages on the economy scanner actually affect the price of things you want to buy/sell? I thought I had it down but then saw a fairly large fluctuation in real-world prices when the percentages were mostly the same.

AirRaid posted:My own question - can someone explain how the Buy/Sell percentages on the economy scanner actually affect the price of things you want to buy/sell? Found an answer to this on reddit, because that's where all the people with spreadsheets live apparently - https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/95elq6/the_economy_of_no_mans_sky/ The short answer is that the Buy/Sell percents on the long range scanner don't mean squat for non "trade-economy" goods. Stuff like elements, crafted items... those are outside that trading system and the price varies from terminal to terminal in any given system. Now I'm wondering if I build 5 different trade terminals in my freighter, if I can abuse that to find a better price for my Chlorine farm. Worth a shot, I've made like 70 million in a few hours today, could have been 80 or 90 with this knowledge probably.

magiccarpet posted:Hey I just did my first warp jump and when I got to the station I was gifted an A Class Multitool Rifle with 18 slots - improved damage and mining. However it has 10 slots of damaged/junk poo poo. Some of the repairs are just chromatic metal but the rest are tech modules, etc. I know repairing simply opens the slot. Is it worth repairing this early or just wait for a cleaner multitool? Repair the easy ones and then wait for a better tool.

Thundarr posted:If you plan to shelter in place for the survival milestones, be sure to at least move occasionally. I think progress halts until the next milestone actually triggers, which it might not do if you're 100% AFK. Basically, just walk around every 30 minutes or so to see if you get a Milestone Reached pop-up and you're good. Can confirm this is not the case. I AFKed for like four hours and the whole thing counted. (1 "Sol" is about 15 mins realtime). The thing is, the actual milestone popup wont trigger until you get into your ship and out again. But you'll have the time racked up in the Milestones page.

Blindeye posted:I thought each system's freighter was class locked too? If so, I have passed through 3 star destroyer rescues and all 3 were C class. Nope. If you jump to a system and there is a freighter battle, kill the pirates, find the class, and if you dont like it, load a save from pre-warp and warp to the same system, and you'll get the same freighter cosmetically, but new class and slots.

BattleMaster posted:Also I'm not sure if it's me or the game that doesn't know how to count: This is a weird thing that NMS does but doesn't tell you about, except in a popup which is gone in 2 seconds - two of those creatures are variants of the same species. When you scanned it, you'd see a message in the bottom right saying "Creature belongs to already discovered species". You still get money for scanning a "new" species but it doesn't count towards the "unique" species scanned for that planet. Yes, this is pretty much bullshit. Specially when you have 15 creatures scanned but only 10/11 Species on the drat list.

In my last save I kept a spare starship in my Freighter stocked with all the materials repairs needed, so I could just fly that out to repair stuff. It was fairly trivial to keep that one starship stocked up, even if it never left the immediate vicinity of the freighter.

The Teleport module in the Freighter upgrade tree (same place the hyperdrive upgrades are) is a game changer too. Transfer poo poo to your freighter inventory from anywhere! I'm pretty sure it works when your freighter isn't even in the same solar system. I think I am going to struggle to replace my pre-order bonus ship this time around. It's slightly low on cargo space, but that's upgradable to 25, but it has SEVENTEEN technology slots, meaning all my tech upgrades are in there and the hold is free for actual stuff. Might actually try and get the 85K nanites required to bump it to S class.
