For all the things Hello Games are, they've always been good at pushing bug fixes out. For game breaking bugs anyway.
I mean they're good at introducing new ones too but hey...
All planets have single biome type (which it shows when scanned). But there are variations within the biome. This has always been the case, and seems to be tied to terrain type. This latest patch has improved the terrain generation and seems to create more sort of 'regions' on worlds, so the differences are more dramatic. Also the improved textures probably contribute to this differentiation too.
Well this is kinda cool, so it spawned me about 5 mins from my ship and I made my way back and in addition to having multiple needed repairs (which I expected ;_
, found my ship had its own little "crash site" with some scattered boxes and a distress beacon and what have you. I doubt their contents were actually from my ship inventory but it was a cool little bit of ambience.edit: I assume this is what happens in Survival if you are shot down in space
edit again: Had to get a pic from on high:
worry not, my Condor, you'll be skyborne again in no time!

A-HA! Found an old save from September on my laptop from my first playthrough! Now I have my sweet TIE/X Wing hybrid back, plus a million in coin, and a bunch of extra slots in my exosuit. And I'm still basically at the beginning of the Atlas quest and all others. I am a Happy man!

Oh my god.
I installed clean UI and enabled triple buffered v sync through NVCP.
I've seen the light and it is glorious.

I'm pretty far into the story and I have to say, Hello Games knows how to make fun of itself. They
worked players not being able to meet and even literally two travellers standing in the same place not seeing each other into the story.
Rather than procrastinate about finding the perfect place for now I figured I would use the first safe, storm free planet without aggressive sentinels or animals. Its not much to look at neither is it teeming with resources but there are decent enough amounts of early game mats nearby, and the local fauna makes it easy to farm kill missions for both them and sentinels.
I hoped it was possible to move your base to another planet later, or at least do so with the minimum or faff. Thats what I need to find out next, how easy is it to move, and is it possible to refund pre-existing structures/buggies.

You can choose a new home base at any time and all the stuff you built will be broken down in components and saved at a vault at your new base. But I had a game-breaking bug happen when claiming a new home base that made it impossible for me to continue any quests or use the galactic map, so I'd caution you to backup your save file before attempting to move.

The space battles are pretty fun. I do wish there was a space e-brake so you can pull off some sweet maneuvers without losing too much speed.
Cheers matey, I'm happy enough to keep using the current base to complete up the base quests and farm kills for now, hopefully the bug us squashed before I try it, otherwise will make a backup like you suggest

Wait.. did it create the impact site, like the crater around it?Well this is kinda cool, so it spawned me about 5 mins from my ship and I made my way back and in addition to having multiple needed repairs (which I expected ;_
Whoaaa neat, after repairing my ship thrusters (the Warp Reactor is going to need 500 frost crystals to repair, ouch) I hit sky and immediately got hailed by a huge pirate group, first time I'd seen this:
Jerks. Based on the options there and my playstyle I need to get me some damn Defense Chits!
I just refused and boosted back down to the surface. They followed me into atmo (I had heard this happened but never had it happen to me before) and I hit the ground ASAP and landed and ran into a cave. I poked my head out and saw they had actually started harassing some of the other traders flying around above the surface and started getting shot back, then scattered. Cool.
I then realized I had stumbled upon a monolith about 30 feet from where I panic landed. I went to interact of course and (possible story spoiler but at least portal functionality spoilers)
Wish I had the beacon blueprint to mark this for later.
Man when this game clicks it is so fucking good.
Love that it's a Korvax pirate crew (who would think they existed) and the flavor text is like the most awkward threat ever.

one of the options revealed that Monoliths are the key to finding Portals on a given planet, but it required a race-specific currency I don't have.

I mean I guess? Haha. Like I said it started me 5 minutes away from there. It certainly looks like it thoughThe ๖ۜBronx;246144762 said:

Real important thing about the probably last main quest, I'll try to keep it non-spoilery:
The quest asks you to do something that takes a HUGE amount of time, but it's not accurate. You'll actually only have to do a set number of warp jumps.
Wanted to make that clear so nobody jumps ship that late in

Is this for the Nomad bay? Because mine is stuck at that exact same point. I have all 3 constructed but he won't let me continue the quest. I swear, they've put together one of the buggiest quest systems I've ever seen implemented in a game. It breaks constantly.
Calling a ship costs nothing, and is kinda OP.

That is cool. Not sure who put the beacon there for you, maybe it auto-ejects during the crash. I do wish crashed and damaged ships had visible damage such as blast marks or even polygonal deformations. Then you could take it to a station to get it looking cherry again.
edit: that pirate story is also cool. Attacking other NPC ships seems like new behavior?
There is kind of, or used to be. If you slam on the reverse thruster as you turn sharply, you'll do a bit of a powerslide. But it's not really as much conservation of momentum as I'd like. I'd love to see the flight model become a bit more like Battlestar Galactica physics, or at least like Asteroids, where your ship would drift a bit in the original direction after you turn. I guess they'd need to add strafing thrusters though, and it might make it too complicated for some people.
Yeah I'm sure it's basically like an airbag XD

Found them being sold by a random trader at a base! Not a thing I was anticipating. Didn't have much room to buy a lot, unfortunately. They stack to 5 on your ship.
I suck at space combat now that they got rid of the minor aim assist with the beam weapon. Fighting multiple targets is a pain when you have to level out entirely for several seconds. The new weapons aren't doing much for me. Love my fast little ship, but it only has 4 hull defense hits and I refuse to move to another ship that isn't 48 slots after all the time and money I put into making my current one the way I wanted it.

Just launch thruster fuel, same as if you take off in it.

You could always buy another ship and store it in your freighter so you don't lose your 48-slotter, right? Get a proper S-Class fighter for battling things.
All I can say is wow. Haven't played since launch, finishing the atlas path and trying to get to the center, but ended up youtubing it.
Started from scratch yesterday, such a better game now, can't wait to play more!
Is the economy actually an online thing??

You can do that? Cool.
How do you abandon missions? Think I might just jump to the next system.

My rig:
R9 380X 4GB
FX-8350 @4.0GHz
16GB DDR3 @1600MHz
Been playing the new update for about 20hrs now, no crashes so far. I have a pretty bad problem with the textures not loading properly, so the only way to remedy that is to set "TextureStreamingEx" to "Off" and "TexturePageSizeKb" to "4096" in the TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML which makes the game crash on the "loading shaders" screen, but it works just fine if I also change the "TextureDetail" to "Normal". This of course sets the textures to medium, but at least I can play the game. I know it's not really a solution, but maybe try tinkering with these values if you haven't already.
Maybe there's something on the software side, something you have installed that's just not playing nice with NMS.
Yeah he wants me to build the first car and I have, thrice. I'm gonna try deleting all three vehicles tomorrow, and see if that helps.
Yeah that's what I figured, the meter seemed to be suspiciously low sometimes :lol Not that I have a problem with plutonium but it's slightly annoying having that extra cost.
Someone asked a few pages back if there are water planets and yeah, my home base was/is on such a planet, but it's a snowy mountain planet these days :/ I went into the water with my car one day because I needed to get to a quest location about 25 minutes away :lol I could've flown but I wanted to try the vehicle's underwater capabilities. Guess what, it sucks xD I got it stuck down in a ravine about 20 minutes away from my base and I had no choice but to swim all the way back hahaha. But I also needed to get to the quest location first...
Today I bought a nice yellow A class fighter class ship! About 10 million with 30ish slots, hooray! Now I finally have one of each class hanging around in my freighter, each fully upgraded for role playing purposes.

Make absolutely sure you are updated to 1.31. I had the same issue and the patch solved it.
The Nomad can glide over water completely
edit: Okay heyyy let's get to a new page everybody
Are you picking the right guild mission? I had that problem yesterday. It wanted me to do a mercenaries guild mission, but I picked an explorer's guild mission, because I wasn't paying attention to the icons on the mission screen.

I'll look into that, but when it does let me past the shaders/NMS logo, there doesn't seem to be an issue with textures.
I've pretty much diabled everything while playing. All overlays, etc. The only things I have open are Steam and NMS. I've also not found anything else while googling and looking around Reddit about issues playing the game with Ryzen CPUs, so I'm kinda doubting that's an issue.
This is the kind of stuff that's supposed to happen to make aimless games like this fulfilling.

The laser weapon auto lock changed post 1.3? Before the enemy just needed to be at screen to get hit.

How does that work? You need to be in the freighter hangar to buy another ship so the old one stays there or u can make the purchase from any place?
I also have a 48 slot fighter style ship but the class bonus did not tranfered when they added classes to the game, so even if my ship is better than most fighter its still a class C with 0% bonus.
Also how is the procedure now to get a ship up to 48 slots? What i did before was salvage a ship and the next one would always be 1 slot more or 1 slot less than my current ship, but now all i find are 20-30 slots ships for sale or for salvage. Thants not good to my play style, i need them 48 slots more than damage or warp bonus.

Only on a Freighter.
Sometimes there's crabs hidden away in caves, birds on the other side of the planet and even animals that only come out at night.
Frack that trophy.
Yeah I know, this was on the first day of the vehicle patch and I just wanted to try it for funsiesThe Nomad can glide over water completely
edit: Okay heyyy let's get to a new page everybody
I LOVE taking that car or the Nomad and fly like an eagle (heh) over the mountains by boost jumping, it's probably the most hilarious bug in the game!

And others may only appear during the storm weather. I was missing 1 animal from a planet, as soon the storm appeared, he spawned near my ship
Im loving the new planets. But having trouble finding that lush planet for my new base. The lush planet i found had torrential rains constant on it, then later found a paradise planet (yeah was labeled as paradise planet) and really had perfect weather, lots of water and land, but was kinda barren with very little plants and trees and no animals at all.
quite.
Ah damnit, I never knew that one. Guess I'm returning to whence I abandoned....And others may only appear during the storm weather. I was missing 1 animal from a planet, as soon the storm appeared, he spawned near my ship

When you rebuilt your base on your original home planet, did the new base ask you to claim a new home planet? Even though it was the same home planet?
This patch cannot come soon enough. I've been dying to experience everything but I've had to hold off because of the bugs. :'(
