And all this time I thought I was in trouble with the space cops...
I can't wait for the radio mod where you get podcast/spotify audio when you enter your spaceship and you can select stations.
There is no definitive test. It's a dice roll whether the game instances you with another person or not.
Sean said that. Even being near someone it's still pure chance.
I did the preorder ship right away. I have to go to a space station and refuel, and I also have something with the signal booster.
Should I just purchase the antimatter to set things straight?
damn haven't seen any of those.
that's in the top right, looks exactly like gta
What you want is the crafting recipe, I think purchasing it might advance the quest fine but have you made a jump to another system yet?

I'm not sure that's the case. The ultimate end goal of the game is for everyone to get to the center of the galaxy. I chose the latter, and I haven't seen any differences from what others that chose the Atlas way have been playing. When I opened the star charts for the first time, I had a clear cut path to the center of the galaxy, though I was able to deviate from it.
I believe that accepting the Atlas' guidance is just a more fleshed out tutorial for that first area. It guides you to the areas where the repair materials are growing. As I mentioned, I refused the guidance, and I had to explore the planet looking for resources.
I may start another game on a different account in order to confirm this.
I declined the Beacon at the beginning
So did I, and I've had the same narrative experiences as those that accepted. I don't believe you'll be missing out on anything.

4 minutes...
I am in my second system now and would love to figure out how to get the recipe. There is something about a signal booster, but nothing on my hud.
Warping to the next system and performing a system scan should point you to the recipe you need.
Edit: Saw you were already in the second system. Are you sure you're not missing an icon while you're in space?

Didn't know you could!
Something better basically. I have a few hundred thousand credits. I feel inferior compared to the other ships I see.

Fuck these last couple of minutes are going by so slow....
This Technique is your new best friend (big ups to Hawklan for the tips.)
"Boost dashing is super crucial and fun as hell, get the hang of it ASAP. It dramatically improves your movement speed and capabilities on the ground.
You want to Melee (R1) + Jetpack (hold X) for a big momentum burst. Sprint, then Melee + Jetpack for the biggest of all. You can really cover some distance this way and jump some big chasms. You can maintain momentum as long as you have jetpack charge."
Yeah truth be told, I don't know anything about this- or any of the narrative yet at all really. I know that one of the paths is called the Atlas path, that's all I know, didn't
say yes to the orb, and I loved the message you get if you select that option about wondering if you're about to be smited.

I completely missed the atlas thing, my girlfriend activated it on her game but so far no differences between plays.
We've both warped 4 times on the way to the centre, does it become apparent much later?

I found an undiscovered planet called Kotaku:

can you create bases and structures?
Yeah, no icon. It was there before, but disappeared. Maybe I didn't finish something there, but no idea how to find my way back there.

I'm a minecraft player. Will I like this?
Keep breaking into factories.
Ah, gotcha. That seems like kind of a strange design choice. I'm sure there's some kind of esoteric back end explanation for it. This game seems like voodoo in general anyway.

F = (9/5)×C + 32 in case anybody was wondering =P
Oh man this game is good. I had a blast on my starter planet, which had a green sky and lots of bulbous plants. Like someone else said the caves really sell that outer space exploration.
I ran about 10mins away from my ship, scanned what looked like a bison with a tentacle with teeth for a head, which squeaked and ran away, saw a base a little in the distance but as I reached the crest of a hill it turned out there was a giant canyon between me and it. Bugger. Slide down the hill and into a cave filled with luminous stalactites and bizarre scurrying crabs. After swerving around some bends I come out of a massive mouth into a luscious plain, filled with more life than I'd seen for the entire 10mins I'd been walking.
I don't care if this gets old after 30hrs; if my experiences are as fun as this I'll have had more than my money's worth.

find and break into a factory on a planet in that new system. you can cruise around the planets and scan to find one.

It's how it worked in Journey and they lifted the design totally from that.
Dat voodoo is maths, baby

Depends what you like about Minecraft. Building and crafting? Then no idea, this game has no building and limited crafting
If you enjoyed exploring endless terrain in Minecraft and seeing what crazy caves and structures you found? Almost certainly
Oh so any random factory should do? Also, I shouldn't buy the anti matter? 30k is cheapest I ever saw it at.

Can't get past the "initializing" screen. Server issues?
edit: Oh boy. Didn't realize you had to hit square. Jesus I'm stupid sometimes.

are the preorder items worth around $7?
I can buy No Mans Sky for 7$ cheaper on US PSN but will not get any preorder items than if I preorder it on EU PSN.
Looks like it kind of is like paying for cheating when I look at the descriptions.

Yeah, it could be some late game stuff that we just haven't seen yet, which would explain why there are currently no differences. The next week or so will be pretty interesting as more information pops up.
Are you holding down the square button?
Hold Square?
Anoyone?
Haha don't ask me. I just left my first planet to the one next to it. Not even thinking about warping away.
I think the Atlas "path" leads to quite a different journey. Further down the line.
I've seen this.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that most of us are just too early into the game to notice any differences. The next couple of weeks should bring a few more things to light.
