Yeah. I'm in a system with 6 planets, 3 of which I'm missing 1 species each. I've spent several days hopping between them.

They really need to add a general direction finder to the Fauna Analyzer.

At this point I am wondering if I should even bother.

1.37 Patch Notes:
Players who find themselves a long way away from their mission destination can now use the log to reset the mission. The mission log will highlight missions and destinations over several thousand light years away with a red icon. Holding R3 or the middle mouse button over this icon will reset the mission to the most recent safe stage, allowing progress to continue..

How does the upload all button work? It never works for me. All it does is upload the system, none of stuff I discovered.

You need to go to the separate sections. It will then tell you to press square to upload all.

The exosuit upgrades gives me an option for slot 49 but I do not see it added to my suit. I did not purchase it. Is that a bug? I thought 48 was max?

Are you sure it's not for the extra storage space or the extra tech storage? 48 for suit, 12 for tech and 25 for extra storage space.

Something - ANYTHING - to find fauna species is my single most-wanted feature for the game.

To me it'd make sense to do something with a Signal Booster - build one and use it to locate an uncatalogued creature.

Well I got this for my sons birthday tomorrow. He turns 10, hope he likes it. Any tips or info I should be know before he plays?

All 10 year olds play Minecraft, does he play that on creative? He should play the same in NMS. Some kids don't have the patience to trudge around shooting at rocks. Hell, my 39 year old friend bought the game before creative mode was added. She just wanted to look at lovely planets, but she was hounded to death by sentinels and gave up on the game.

Creative mode!

I have the feeling that the creatures don't actually exist until you're close enough to see them anyway, so i'm not sure the game would know where to point you.

For me it's never been easier than now, to 100% a planet, but maybe I've been lucky.

You are! It is 100% luck to find the last one. I fall one short of them all most times.

It's so odd looking at the sales on Steam. This game routinely sells 30k plus some days and then loses that 30k a few days later. How much would this have sold without the refund policy?

New save system will be tested in the upcoming experimental branch on PC.

http://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/2765630416830016499/

Hi everyone!

The following information is for people who are either already synced to Experimental, or plan on syncing to Experimental before our next patch

Later this week, we'll be updating Experimental with patch 1.38. The main focus of this patch will be the introduction of a new save system, which should make managing your saves between modes much easier. As part of this update, save file formats will change -1.37 is forward compatible with 1.38, but 1.38 is not backwards compatiable with 1.37. In other words, you won't be able to use your experimental saves with the current live version of the game.

If you are currently synced to Experimental, when this patch is downloaded and run, it will automatically upgrade your save files to 1.38 while also taking an automatic backup of your 1.37 saves. At this point, if you want to sync back to live you'll need to use your backup saves. Just to be extra safe, you may also wish to take a manual backup of your saves now.

We'll be creating a new Experimental thread as soon as this update goes live, which will detail these and other changes coming in the patch.

Many thanks,
Hohbes

Why?

Is it better to ask for a base location or find my own? I am not sure what to say.

I was just on a toxic planet with torrential acid rain that had multiple massive flat plains with trading posts on them, each surrounded by the deepest canyons I've ever seen in the game. I'm talking Grand Canyon level here! I didn't bother with screenshots because they don't do justice to the scale.

Also, my latest Mod Guide will be up soon. Lots of new mods

Also I just found a system with 2 of the new exotic planets/moons, both with the same creepy music! Spoiler tagged just in case someone doesn't want to see them.

Click to expand...

Letting the game find one for you is easier, but you could end up like me and start your base on the worst possible planet type making the base building missions an absolute nightmare.

I'd at least save before and if it gives you a shitty planet, just load up the old save and find one yourself.

It's worth noting that there were issues with base missions when I was doing them which made moving to a new planet not an option, but I'm pretty sure they fixed things up and made them better now, so even if you do choose a bad planet you should be able to relocate and continue.

i was just cruising through canyons two nights ago

video with video timestamps for a few photomodes here and here and here (or, alternatively, an imgur album)

was pretty fun trying to speed through the canyons though i wouldn't call them grand canyon scale hehe but it was just like beggar's canyon back home~

1 of my favorite post-Atlas systems:

Dasetni-Neyag V
Gek / High Voltage / Mild Conflict
3 Planets & 2 Moons
Galactic Co-ordinates: ODDU:0BA5:0081:021A:0232

1 planet and 1 moon are rare exotic planets
1 moon is a paradise with multi-colored grass and easy sentinals

Are there still normal distress signal missions from freighters? I've only come across the large scale battles but I can't afford those freighters, even with a discount.

They don't, but they have set spawn points, the same way building types do - so it could point you towards one of them.

I've still never encountered naturally-occurring Omegon.

Stumbled on a damaged S-class fighter with 38 slots, so swapped out my A-class 38 slotter. Spent $46m fixing all the slots, hah.

It's also crazy that I've been to nearly 150 systems and still don't have some of the blueprints. Thanks to the last update I'm finally getting the remaining product formulas though, and those super high end ones are kinda fun to make in conjunction with missions.

LAST UPDATED: 21st Sep 2017 (Added Faster Farming, Dismantle Core Components, Space Station Colors, Monolith Colors, Space Anomaly Colors, Cubesnap, Paving Flattens Terrain, Big Garage Door, Freighter Landing Beam Range and Mission Tech Reward Duplicates Fix mods; replaced Shaidak's Pulse Jump mod with Solid Spaceship mod; removed obsolete Flight Atmosphere and Tag Icon Replacer mods; recategorized a few mods; updated descriptions; updated performance tips. *Warning: E.T. Ecology and Starship out of Range mods will crash or bug your game on startup if you don't have the latest versions*)

I have tested all the mods together with Atlas Rises 1.37 but there is no guarantee they will work perfectly for everyone. Always check the mod descriptions to make sure they are compatible with your current game version, especially after a new patch has been released. FPS impact should be minimal with most mods except where noted. Please report any bugs or broken links so I can investigate.

WARNING: Backup your save game and main cache files first (AppData/Roaming/Hello Games). Rename DISABLEMODS.txt file to ENABLEMODS.txt in the PCBANKS folder if it exists and delete the contents of the SHADERCACHE folder each time before loading the game with new mods (and also after each new patch). Mods are placed in the PCBANKS/MODS folder. Delete older versions of mods before loading the game with newer versions. Also make sure you last saved on a space station, freighter or inside your base because sometimes new mods can cause problems if you are in your ship or standing on terrain when they first load.

Performance Tips:

This is my config file for a mostly 60fps+ stutter-free VANILLA No Man's Sky at 1080p on a mid-to-high end PC (old overclocked i7, 16Gb slow DDR, 1070 GTX overclocked). Higher resolutions require a beast PC. Some mods will obviously impact the fps. For Nvidia Users: in Nvidia Inspector I set Prefer Maximum Performance, Frame Rate Limiter to 90 (60 gives me stutter and Max overworks the GPU), Anisotropic Filtering to User Defined and 16 (set to 1 in-game because Nvidia's is better). For people struggling with low fps: try lowering Reflections and Shadow Detail and disabling Light Shafts first. TAA and Texture Detail have a greater impact on visual quality so only lower them if you really need to. HBAO doesn't appear to impact fps much. "MouseClickSpeedMultiplier" has been lowered from the default to improve UI interaction speed. The Base Building limit tweaks are optional because huge complex bases can create bugs and massive fps drops. If you have less than 4gb VRAM leave "TexturePageSizeK" at the default of 64. If you get lots of stuttering and/or tearing, enable vsync and triple buffering in the drivers but keep vsync disabled in-game. BACKUP YOUR SAVE GAME & MAIN CACHE (AppData/Roaming/HelloGames) AND CURRENT CONFIG FILES FIRST JUST TO BE SAFE.

had this crazy epic 50+ starship battle the other night :O

i think somehow a freighter warped in and it spawned a Space Battle, but somehow that bugged the 'friendly NPC starship spawn' and it ended up with what seemed like a absolute huge swarm of ships .... lagged my PS4 pretty hard.

it was pretty epic

some pics

and then after the freighter battle, they all made this massive b-line for my freighter .... like 50 ships all flying side by side across my screen

best part was I was flying around my freighter with them and I got attacked my a pirate... (the video link above)

and they ALL just turned and absolutely rekt the two pirates haha

Space Dream mod pack. That, Shaidak's Generation and the Water mods in particular show just how easy it would be for Hello Games to make the game look a whole lot better. It took them a year to add better textures, Low Flight and Atmosphere effects but those have been around in mod form since just after the game was released. But at least they are willing to look to what their users want and consider incorporating them into the game eventually.

Yeah you do, but Omegon has been rarely available from traders. I've never personally seen it for sale, but others have.

And I don't know about plants, but scanning rocks can give you a bit of a secondary element when you mine them. Haven't heard of plants doing the same, but maybe.

I've gotten all my Omegon from trade terminals. It's out there, not frequently but I've definitely found it a few times.. I didn't need to find it in nature, I just wanted to since it's something I hadn't seen.

I even unintentionally arranged it so that the trading terminal I built on my freighter sells Omegon and resets in each system. I assume that was based on what was for sale in in the initial system when I constructed the terminal.

Gases and Omegon can sometimes be bought in large quantities at Trading Posts and AI Freighters. Not sure if it's linked to Economy type... Best to stock up every chance you get if have the credits and storage space.

So what sorta place should I be looking for when building a base?

I definitely got small amounts of gas elements from plants on two different planets. Only certain plants, too. I think the scanner can tell you about secondary elements but not sure.


btw. how did pricing change for freighters? I thought they wanted to adjust it but after a long space battle and being invited on a C class freighter it still costs 110 million...

Yeah, but like I said I've never seen Omegon in my hundreds of hours of play, even in 1.3. I don't doubt it's out there. I mean I haven't found any of the new biome types, either. Nor have I found a wealthy system. And I've probably been to 15 systems since 1.3. Just luck of the RNG in this game, but it's annoying when that bad luck locks you out of high-level recipes.

They fixed a bug that allowed people to get Freighters for less than a million units

I have a feeling they must not test their code much. They've had this freighter price problem more than once. I know procedurally generated data is harder to test, but surely they'd at least add bounds checking to prices in their algorithms?

I've decided I'll be settling for a non-capital freighter for a bit. I've already had the Star Destroyer type and while the sentinel type freighters look amazing, I'll be going with this (if I ever find another one).

New save system

In this patch we’re introducing a new save system, which should make managing your save files between game modes much easier. Here’s what to expect:

You will now be presented with 5 save-game slots (each of which can be used for any game mode) - your existing saves will be mapped into these slots
Selecting an empty slot will start a new game, allowing you to pick which game mode to play from the mode select menu
There are now 2 sub-slots for each save-game (instead of 3) - one for auto saves, and one for manual saves
Starting a brand new game with no existing saves will take you directly to mode select
Note for experimental: while 1.37 saves are forwards compatible with 1.38, 1.38 save files are not backwards compatible with 1.37. For this reason, when you first run 1.38, an automatic backup of your 1.37 save file will be stored in your save folder, in case you wish to return to 1.37. See this thread for more info: http://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/2765630416830016499/

Oh damn, that's quite the list of changes. I hope that new save system will make it to PS4.

I hope to Atlas this means freighter friendly fire also??

Good to see them add back the spectral class to the galaxy map, should help those with color blindness, and it's just nice to have more nerdy info there.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, these sound like a ton of good changes, but every update I scan the list hoping for the teleporter custom names bug to be fixed and it never is. It seems like such a simple fix...do most people not name their systems, and thus don't see the bug?
