LOL okay I guess it's not so bad then :O I'll probably come back here leter!Can you afford this?
No?
Keep farming
Damn, that's niceHad the same experience. Made almost 10 million units in an hour
I'm still really early, have only made one or two hyper jumps so I haven't even gotten a new ship or multi-tool yet!Found a monolith with a great name today...
On an unrelated note, finding the last species on a planet is taking a toll. It's all I need to do and can move on after, but I'm struggling to find it.
mine was a second set of birds
Yeah, they seem a bit less common but I've run into a few.
Come to the conclusion that this game just isn't for me. I don't find the planets fun to explore, and the rest seems very superficial.
It just makes me want to play Minecraft, which is super weird seeing as most of the planets in NMS are more visually interesting than the Minecraft world. I hope basebuilding will be a worthwhile addition. The game lacks some sort of "home" mechanic. A bigger ship with customization options would also be cool.

I think the one thing I'm disappointed about this game is ship customization.
I don't think Sean said anything to make me think this, but I was expecting the upgrading your ship stuff to be able to like... make your ship "yours". Maybe customize the colors, rename it, upgrade the storage. I mean I know that I shouldn't expect tiny ships to be able to have 48 slots, but I REALLY love my current ship and it bums me out so much that I can't even give it a single slot more without having to get an entirely new ship by repair or purchase.
It would be nice if in a future update they broke the ships into classes, (trading, gunships, exploring) and gave each type a max inventory upgrade number. So like a gunship or smuggler's ship would be small and sleek, not much storage, maybe 20-25 slots max, explorer ships would be mid-sized with storage capacities in the 30s, and trading ships would be large and bulky with up to 48 slots possible.
I don't know where I got it in my head but I was expecting us to be able to literally build the ships. Find a cockpit part you like and swap it out, find cool wings and use them, change the paint, that kind of thing. I don't know if something like that would be too complex or break the game, but I'm not too disappointed. Just really wish we could upgrade inventory space without having to completely throw away our ships.

The order is Sigma, Tau, Theta, and Omega.
Another way to check to see the numbers Generally Tau level upgrades have a +2 effect, and Theta will have a +3. I have only ever came across one Omega tier add-on.
So I have no idea if there is a level beyond Omega.
Also Shield Shards can be used as substitute for wasting Zinc for recharging your Suit and Ship Protection.
Zinc is some rarer than the Shield Shards, especially since the Shield Shard recipe only requires 50 Iron which can be found everywhere.

Is this sequence for everyone? (first planet, after 1st warp).
You have to go to a facility where you learn about crafting Warp Cells.
The door is locked so you need to shoot open the door.
The Sentiels get pissed and come after you
Happen to anyone else?
To avoid that, I smash the door until it's broken. lol
But you can't just spamming it
or the droid will shoot you.
Thanks, great help.

Does the price of gold ever go up substantially? I found a deposit giving me 2000 total. I can't seem to find a merchant willing to give me more than +3% on the base price.
I've only ever found + %98 trade bonuses at the terminal in space stations. It's usually one or two minerals. I think I saw gold once but I can't be sure.

Without spoiling too much, is it possible to break off the Atlus path and then go back on? When I left my first system last night the Atlus path took me far away but very close to me were 4-6 other stars, I'd love to go check them out but I don't want to fuck up my progression.
I know this has been asked before so I'm sorry for asking again but I tried not to read the answered since I hadn't gotten that far myself yet.

So I'm renaming everything I discover like this:
(PSN is Articate)
"Articus <PartOfFirstNameThatOriginallyWas> (!)[ElementsOnPlanet]#[type]"
! Means there's green objects, those you can pick up and aggro sentinels, so like the last planet I was on:
Articus Kazu EmTi#b
Then I know I can get Emeril and Titanium there (Zinc and Platinum is part of flora, so just check that). Works for systems too. Then it's about what the big asteroids carry. Now I know where I can get what. b means it was boring

Good to know I'm not the only one. I had high hopes for the new planet I just arrived on and ... nope! I could spend two, three hours on my favourite planets. Now, I'm just moving on. This is getting boring.

It is a lewd game, right? I am not the only one seeing things in these worlds, right?
Pictured above is my second screenshot of these phallic shapes everywhere. The first picture was even more straightforward. I cannot believe these were not deliberately included in the game.

Meanwhile I've just left the newly christened Kasterborous system where I named every planet and species after ones from Doctor Who...
Different strokes lol.
I name "special" discoveries myself, like Articus Domum (first system), Articus Inter, Proxima Articus. It's fun!
Thank you both for the advice.
People landing inside space stations can buy stuff from you, traded with a guy who bought zinc at +100%.

Are we to believe this is due to the magical randomness of procedural generation? Honestly, I doubt it. I think Sean Murray deliberately made it possible to have these by including all the needed elements. I believe he loves cracking jokes like that "OH WAIT I changed my mind" tweet when the game was about to be released on Steam yesterday.
I've given up naming flora and fauna unless something really interesting pops up, but I'll always name the system and planets with something descriptive about their physical characteristics, ie. Land type and sky color. I'm searching for my Earth. I've found tropical planets but I'm still looking for one with blue skies. Closest I've come is a weird green/blue gradient.

I think I'm completely over this game. I tried to give it another chance - my friend threw me a code for the PC version and told me to dick around with some cheat codes, but even that wasn't fun. It just doesn't have enough variation to keep my interest. The mechanics feel half baked to me, and even when I have a "goal" of sorts, it all comes down to the same motions.
Maybe I'm missing something, and I'm open to advice, but I feel like I'll need some significant updates to the mechanics side of things to rope me back in. It was a wash anyway since I sold a bunch of shitty games I wasn't even playing, but damn if it's not disappointing.

God damn it. The game says 'Unoccupied building found - rare upgrade available.'
It's on another planet so I drop everything and spend minutes getting all the way across the system to over there - sounds exciting because I'm running out of things to learn. When I get there... it's something I already knew. I wish they would fix the RNG on that stuff. Makes it really hard to care about going anywhere when 90% of the time you already have whatever reward the game deals out.
The only thing I need now is money. I know 200 words, almost all the damn schematics and yet have a ship with 20 slots and only 500k units.

Some stuff is just really rare I have learned! Keep searching, I still run into new tech and recipes and I have been playing since release almost non stop.

Originally there were supposed to be ship classes, the ability to name your ship and wear and tear if you kept it for a while. As it stands now the only difference is slots.

Can you delete objective markers that you aren't interested in? I'm being pointed towards random nonsense that I don't care about and it's cluttering my UI.
I really like the game and find it more compelling than some almost universally acclaimed games, but dear god, the crashes.
I think I'm putting it down until the next update. Overwatch is more consistent fun and the Witcher 3 offers more depth.
Even with the missing features and the increasingly obvious shortcomings of their procedural generation (Freelancer felt more inhabited for Christ's sakes), I'd have been happy paying full price if the darn thing was stable.

Nope. Quite unbelievable that a bunch of these simple things have not been added. It is basically textbook number 1.
It feels like he just ran out of time. The game doesn't even seem to have some of the features he's showcased at other events such as automatically uploading all your discoveries when clicking a beacon. It's a real pain in the butt to sit there and upload each discovery individually.
