Well it dates discoveries, so you can see when they were made. I've found some from launch day recently and they're still there. It's not super common because, regardless of anything else about the game, the galaxy map is absolutely massive.

You know, I am starting to think NMS supports multiple dimensions - it's just that Sean simply forgot to tell us (which would explain why we can't see each other). Related to this, wormhole anomalies do in fact allow us to interact via naming of planets.
This non-save issue could also be caused by said wormhole anomalies that were intelligently buried within the code and is yet another stunning example of their procedurally generated universe comprised of over 15 billion planets.

Okay so like, yes even with all its problems I have enjoyed playing No Man's Sky. It does sound like this could be a bug. It had better be as this was one of the core concepts of the game.
But man, the ride for this game just makes me feel like...
"Was nothing real?"
"You were. That's what made you so good to watch playing the game."
"I'll be in Elite: Dangerous while you patch your shit."
I'm crying here at work.

Gotcha can only talk about the shady stuff Hello Games did in threads specifically about Shady shit they did. It is really confusing with all the shady shit the specifically Sean Murray did.

Mods on PC will likely be relegated to tweaking existing content-- albeit to awesome effect like Low-Flight, Dark Space, Big Things, etc... I still don't see modders being able to add content like introduce new models, etc.. I think that'll be up to HG to do.
Sorry to hear that you're on PS4 and it's still bugging out. I'm on PS4 as well and 1.05 has sorted all my crashing issues thus far.

If it matters at all, my uploads, at least according to the discovery menu (in the esc menu), are all showing as named, discovered and uploaded by me. Done from the PC launch.
Granted, I haven't found a billion planets and creatures and uploads so it could still "remove" them if I get too much, like it gives you a limited amount of "active discoveries", but they are all there for me and seems fine so looks like a glitch or server issues.
Granted, I've not actually gone back to my first systems and looked at them myself on the ground, but they are showing in my menu.

With great difficulty, sure. I guess that's why they made it so hard.

The same thing happened to me. None of my uploaded discoveries are saved.
I'm actually curious, has anyone seen a user-discovered planet yet?

Yep, once.
Yeah quite a few. More so than systems. People seem to forget to upload them.
Yes and also sometimes finding other player's graves
Yup pretty much.
Is this true or a joke? I hadn't read about this one.

It's more about how Sean was the central figure of the rags to riches story, then disappointment ensued and communication slowed to a crawl.

For anyone saying stuff like this:
People need to read the reddit link.
He caught a planet in the middle of being erased, took note of it, played some more of the game, checked it again and it was gone by then along with others.

Edit: All I can say is that I've got thousands of discoveries still intact from day one

I have never heard the amount of excuse given for anybody here on GAF.
Some from various threads...
You don't know how game development works, things change.
The consumer is entitled to nothing.
Game development is hard and stressful
They are a small independent studio
It is Sony's fault.
Your fault for believing the hype...
Oh don't worry, it's not like this is something that completely doesn't work... I need to follow a path to Atlas marker that has two systems along the way that are discovered by another player...
There are just conditions under which your discoveries may not make it to the server... and your own client save on your PC/Console can likely only hold so many discovery items (let's say 40) before it needs to throw away older discoveries (first in first out). So if you return to a previous planet, it will be "undescovered" if your discoveries didn't make it to the server and they were kicked out of your own save data.

Dunno what's worst: The blatant lies and misinformation to sell a full price product or people giving the guy a free pass because he is a nervous indie laughing fellow.
That said, i'm still playing the game, even though the two reasons that i wanted to play it are now gone:
- No chance of finding other players
- End game being some marvelous mysterious shit.
Wow...

holy shit so i wasnt crazy. i was rediscovering checkpoints and shit on this one planet and even the names disappeared
Remember when he was barefoot in that one interview? He would never do us wrong.
Any chance I can get details of the test for the OP?
I'm voting it for game of the year and disappointment of the year even by not touching it lol
I think people were moreso attracted to their own imagination. "Anything can be out there! Outer space is endless!" I don't think they expected cut and paste assets or glorified menu travel.
Hold on, took a few screens, transferring them.
