If you die on a planet and respawn very far from your grave, and you get into your ship, the waypoint for your grave disappears from the mini directional radar at the top of the screen You have to fly and land to see how far/close you are. When you land and exit, it reappears. Odd decision there no?

 

[Ballistics]

Lol, there were always clouds before 1.3. Crap clouds, but clouds nonetheless.

What was 'coming later' was 'new cloud tech'.

*Checks old footage*

Literally the first thing I saw in NMS was clouds!

It has to be a good thing though, like they are getting ready to implement a better system.

Well, you'd think so. What's puzzling is that the clouds remain in the PC version.

Between this and the trees, it's certainly odd to lose features that were in the launch version.

havent played in a few days, this armory mission in the base questline where you have to

Hold on...trees? Now, I know I've seen trees...?

Does anyone remember when waypoints had a limit of 6? When did they change it? I've just gone though my first save and I can now view all the names I uploaded. I'm certain it was still 6 for 1.3, because I remember looking at it in the new menu.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Man, I feel this is taking forever for me to get anywhere. About 30 hours in to a new save, have a tiny 22 slot ship, no exosuit upgrades aside from more space, just managed to hit 2.5 million credits and half a base.

Just trying to get through the new campaign right now, so far it's pretty good actually.

Kinda funny how perspective affects the notion of "getting somewhere"

With half a base and any progress at all through the new campaign you are much "further along" than me on a 120+ hour save.

A signal booster is required for one of the earlier base building missions. One of the first few actually. It helps to find decent stuff seeing as the scanning in this game is borked as all hell.

Common bug for mission markers to not update to the next objective? For example, guy in my base says "Go find a weapons dude!" Accept/Deny, but the marker stays on the guy in my base and just keeps looping to the same Accept/Deny message.

[Trojan]

Are biodomes worth the up-front cost? Do they bypass having to painstakingly refill every planter with energy and do they auto-collect resources?

Secondly, for the auto-miner...do I need to set this up near a mineral deposit or can I just randomly place it on a planet? Worth it?

 

[Dan]

Bio-domes don't require fuel, so you don't have to do that. There is no automatic collection of resources, however.

I'm not sure there's any tried and true way to find them.

I've spotted them in random shelters and trading posts. I'm pretty sure I ran into one on a space station, too.

Ship control is stiff and flying on planets is extremely slow now.

Don't like that change.

 

[SJRB]

I feel that the crafting system is working against the player a lot of times.

Want to craft [object A], you need [object B, C and D]. But to make [object B] you need [object E and F and G] and to make [object C] you need [H and I].


I'm constantly looking for something so I can make something to use for making something else. It's getting frustrating.

 

[Aenima]

Landed in this hot moon, ground textures was the best i have seen in the game so far. A mix of rock and sand that u can see untill the horizon. And it was running on a base PS4.

The grind is real in this game, but I find it very relaxing. I'm probably not the only one from all the activity in this thread. But yes it's Grindfest 2017 to get to the highest rewards.

Everything feels far off if you focus on the end goal, but there's a lot of progress to make in the short term and if you enjoy exploring new planets it makes it interesting.

 

[Acorn]

Argh keep falling through the ground whenever I almost mine an entire exotic resource deposit.

Last save was from before I even started mining. God damn.

Also atlas v2 & v3 is still mia, I've got 90% of the blueprints and those 2 are the only ones I give a shit about.

[Donos]

What is bothering atm are how the game handles the spots on the planet you already have visited and which not. Really get confused if i already landed there (white circle) or not. Did waste over dozens of landings for places i have been to.

Maybe I'm just not understanding the system so far but no map doesn't help.

 

[eyeball_kid]

This is a low atmosphere planet T'voirda in my current base system. I liked the minimal composition of this shot.

1. This was a bigger problem pre-Foundation, but mostly went away until 1.3. Don't be greedy or you'll fall through. The fact that it has returned makes me think they had a separate branch of code they've been working on for a while with all the 1.3 stuff, and the new terrain code brought back some old bugs.

2. Atlas v2 and v3 are mostly useless. They open up some rooms with some trivial crates and whatnot, nothing you really need by the time you actually get them.

There really should be a planetary mapping system in place, no excuses imo.

 

[eyeball_kid]

yooo I just discovered on the PS4 you can hold down R3 in your ship and look around the cockpit, providing a close-up view of your HUD. Was this always there? Don't know how practical it is, but it's cool.

No excuses? I'd say there's plenty of excuses given the development challenge of a 20-person indie team creating a terrain mapping system that can handle procedurally generated areas the size of continents that is somehow able to save all this data and POIs in an efficient and bugfree way. I mean it's not impossible, but I think they have plenty of lower-hanging fruit.

Also holy shit I just noticed the credit boost for scanning now. It's also immediately credited. I thought people were daft when they said people were making millions, as uploading items is still paltry, but now as soon as you scan you get the credits and the amount pops up on screen. Got 150k for scanning one animal and almost 50k for each plant I scan. Fuuuuuck.

I still want those passes, it's a weird thing with me and games. I hate locked doors that I know are accessible some way, it's why I end up spending far too long lock picking/hacking etc in rpgs lol.

HDR is so nice in NMS.
My wife started playing on our vanilla PS4 on a non HDR screen and it made me realize how good this game looks on a 4K/HDR compatible tv.

That's what I like about these larger updates. There's so many little changes that you discover or notice days or weeks later, which weren't included in the patch notes. Didn't know about this either.

 

[jogu]

Only survive x days on bad planet trophy left... I usually lose intrest after getting platinum (trophy). Still need to get center of galaxy... How long is the new questline with the holoalien? Feels boring.

 

[Acorn]

Is cymatgen(sp?) needed for crafting anything or can I sell it all?

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

On another note, how long does a ship you abandon stay there? Let's say I trade for a crashed ship and leave a signal beacon there where my old one is. Could I come back in a month and it'd still be there? I'm basically trying to figure out a way of upgrading my ride without permanently losing my current ship, since I don't have a freighter yet.

It'll despawn once it un-loads from the game.

Crashed Ships will stay forever if you don't take property of it (so it remains as a 'POI' object).

But if you take ownership of it to salvage its hardware and flip back to yours, or you abandon your previous ship there, both will be considered an 'player abandoned ship' and despawn soon as you restart the game (or maybe even soon as you switch systems).

When I was new to the game, I spent about a week patrolling an area near by home base where I thought I abandoned my starter ship haha. But a few weeks later, I tried what you just mentioned -- left a Beacon waypoint at a new abandoned ship. Returned a week later and it was gone, so I tested it again and later it also despawned.

I'm going to sound stupid, what do you use to scan these items?

Getting into the swing of things now. Currently have a full warp drive, found and charged my first portal, which I posted the coordinates to Twitter in case anyone wants to come visit. The planet I am currently on has got me 2 monolith, a portal and 2 drop pods and I've barely scratched the surface. A massive change from the lifeless planets I've seen in the last few systems.

Shame it's blighted as I'd set up a base here otherwise.

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). I would not recommend higher resolutions. Mods obviosuly will impact the fps somewhat. In Nvidia Inspector I have Prefer Maximum Performance and set Frame Rate Limiter to 90. Base building limit tweaks are optional because huge bases can create bugs. For people struggling with low fps, try lowering Shadow Detail & Reflections and disabling Light Shafts first. TAA and Texture Detail have a greater impact on visual quality. FOV=140 in the config is equal to in-game FOV of 100 but it resets to 100 in the config if you change any settings in the game menu. If you have less than 4gb VRAM then leave "TexturePageSizeK" at the default of 64. Light Shafts are disabled as a personal preference. If you get lots of stuttering, enable vsync and triple buffering in the drivers. Keep vsync disabled in-game. BACKUP YOUR SAVE GAME & MAIN CACHE (AppData/Roaming/HelloGames) AND CURRENT CONFIG FILES FIRST JUST TO BE SAFE.

Managed to scour a planet and find a better ship just after an encounter that awarded me a major improvement over my multi-tool. The blueprints have really been rolling in as well. I'm currently exploring my first temperate planet, which is a very nice change of pace from constantly seeking shelter or recharging my hazard protection.

I still haven't seen any hints of how to acquire exocraft or start base building, but I'm sure those will come. Any chance we can get Hawkian's starter tips linked in the OP?

 

[Volgarth]

Has anyone found any planets since the update with Omegon, and Radnox?

 

[Mathieran]

I just started farming this morning. Do crops only grow while you are playing or will they continue to grow even if you're not?

If you find a nice planet to settle in build a signal booster and select Habitable Base.

 

[milamber182]

Has anyone found any planets since the update with Omegon, and Radnox?

Radnox once, no Omegon yet. Pre-Atlas the best way I could find Omegon was Trading Posts. Visit a few and cycle through the different types of ships and if you were lucky one would be selling it. I was also lucky enough in my 1st playthough to build a Galactic Trade Terminal in my base that always sold Omegon.

That makes sense. I saw that option but never connected the dots. Thanks!
