I'm a relatively new Switch 2 player. I haven't played a game this much since Ark: Survival Evolved back in 2016-ish and have clocked in 200 hours (is this even considered new?) in around 6-7 weeks. I'll never get to experience the game as some of you OGs, but I'm obsessed.

That being said, I had to rush this expedition these last 2 days due to FOMO. I've built up a fortress of resource reserves on my primary survival save and I've been taking my time with the missions, really savoring each personal/mission milestone while spending a hell of a time trying to get ultimate S-class ship layouts and what-not, but, I felt this expedition was a massive spoiler for any new player taking their time with the storyline. Was every stone unturned in this? I hope not, but this definitely feels more of a tribute to long-time players. I just wish there would have been some kind of spoiler warning... I know I'm late to the party by 10 years, but still.

Sorry, I just wanted to slightly vent, but also appreciate the devs for pouring their heart into this game. If I felt a little emotional hearing these entries, I can only imagine what some of you felt as well. Seeing how atrocious the original space stations were and how this game must have played before this year seems real dubious lol.

I won't complain much* though, I've wanted this Atlantid drive for weeks, just dreaming about this vague blank 4th hyperdrive catalog entry and trying to find these final resources for Settlement upgrades and Nautilon upgrades. I'm taking it back with me!

I have been chasing an S Class sentinel for the past 90 hours, in the meantime got an A Class multitool I like a lot and decided to upgrade it to S. After 2 weeks of farming sentinel ships, I finally got my S Class (she's a beauty), made a gazillion units selling the ships I didn't like. I fully upgraded my dreadnought with everything I can install on it. Can't find S Class yet but I kinda don't feel like it.

I scavenge so many corvette parts and go to much money I ended up buying a crapton of parts to make a corvette, then saw it was not even a functional mobile base. I already got a dreadnought which serves all purposes of a base, and an interceptor which serves all purposes of a ship. Corvettes do nothing for whatever cool looking they can be.

There's no purpose, no reason to do anything. Such a vast galaxy full of nothingness. There are no factions, no politics, combat is a joke both ground and ship based.

I am so terribly dissapointed.

I kept grinding for weeks just to see if maybe the next item or next unlock will make the game finally fun. Is nothing. There is nothing. There is a whole lot of nothing. I'm not finding the fun after 298 hours of gameplay. Maybe first couple systems were fun but after visiting 5 or 10 planets, you have seen all this game has to offer. Oh, I liked ForCopyrightReasonsNotPokemon, that one had a strategic angle to it that made it interesting.

Don't get me wrong, I still love NMS for being the milestone in gaming it is, because their devs defeated all odds and keep pouring love into the game.

But I feel is a whole lot of minigames put together with less than zero depth to any of it. Anyone else feels the same? I want to find a reason to have fun because of how much care and love there is in the game and the community is awesome, but...

I'm aware that I'm extremely late to this expedition and only have about 18 hours to complete it as of the time of writing, I just came back to No Man's Sky after a few months of hiatus, anyhow, I just finished milestone 4/7 for phase 1, and for some reason I didn't receive the blueprints for the cadmium hyperdrive (or any of the other specialised hyperdrives) so now I'm locked out, since I can't travel to the space anomaly, and the only thing I can do now is search around for some way to circumvent this but that will take a bunch of time off my short amount of time to complete the expedition,

Any way I can fix this bug? Thanks

Edit: I'm blind, they were right there as pre-packaged units My bad

Why are we allowing blender builds?. “Here’s a cool ship! Star Wars? Star Trek! Halo?? YASSSS.

Ok now here’s a build that’s huuuuge and lags your game. I’m chilling in the nexus and you’re lagging,”

Let’s encourage HG to add more in ship building mechanics thus discouraging the lag kings with their “y wing’s. Ya Star Wars, ya? like that? Gimme money. Have fun finding the entrance. “

Pc mods ruin every game.

I stumbled upon a mission to check out a space anomaly. It unlocked a mission to “recover” this ship.

Not sure what to equip it with as I mostly just jump from system to system with no real plan.

I am sure I am not the only one who thinks this, but I hate expeditions, only tackling them because of the limited edition items they grant. They are really a drag, oftentimes requiring you to do and redo stuff you already did a million times. I couldn't finish the last one; I will live with the FOMO of not having the ships, which luckily I don't particularly like.

I kinda liked the one with the trash collecting, as it introduced something new, but for the rest... I can't believe I have to build at least a basic base again. I can't believe I have to fix another random crap ship. I can't believe I have to kill 10 angry plants again. I can't believe I have to do something again that I end up doing in every damn expedition.

Just released 21 new star trek corvettes (a few remakes of older versions I upgraded, lots of new ones and a bunch of original designs) ! :3
For trekkies out there, we actually now have a slowly growing Federation of Planet alliance and a Sol-system hub ! (glyphs on the discord, and all usefull links in the video's description)
All blender built, multiplayer friendly (except maybe the Academy class which is big enough in size to be annoying, so might want to keep this one out of anomaly/multiplayer space stations)

Every time I exit pulse and look around, there is an asteroid field somewhere in view. It actually seems to be hard not to have an asteroid field in the way when you're trying to take a screenshot in space.

Planet of games. So these shouldn't literally be game pieces, more that they look incredibly similar to.

• Bowling pin-esque trees and a ball-type animal species
• Grid-style terrain vaguely like a chess board
• Rocks that resemble chess pieces
• Animal species that resembles jacks

Melting planet, think Dali's clock painting

I decided to restart my run because i was not happy with my progress, so what should i start farming?

EDIT: Omg! I did It! 🎉

I locked in and completed it!

I thought it would take ages! Luckily I found the second half of it easier for some reason 😅

(Well looks like I wont be getting all the rewards.

I got a few though.)

A flower of dark metal and crimson glow, deadly in full bloom.

Now I'll first say I don't fully hate them, they are a cool idea for the most part, but I REALLY hate how FOMO they are. Like the whole "do this within this time period or you'll never be able to get these items ever" stuff games do nowadays really makes me angry.

"Oh, we made this content, but you can only play it if you do it before this point in time or else it's gone forever along with the unique items it gives!"

I haven't been able to play for awhile, and now I can't play the current expedition, with twelve hours before it gets thrown in the trash, because the game keeps crashing. It really makes me want to never touch the game again.

Can’t for the life of me get back into my save file. Was warping with my corvette and the space junk I had laying around expanded and crashes me once I load in. I’ve done a few things to try and resolve this.
1. Turned off WiFi /multiplayer and tried relogging
2. Joined through a friends session 3 different ways. In space, on the anomaly, and directly into a mission. Same results but loading me into the anomaly actually puts me there but still crashes.
3. Cleared ps5 cache
4. Restart the game and console probably 30 times now.
5. Creates a new save flew to a space station, saved and logged out

Don’t really know what other options I have here, I put a ticket into hello games this morning but idk what there turnaround time is so i figured I’d ask on here to see if anybody has a solution.

Thank you

I’m not 100% what these are (I’m pretty sure they’re cryo-sleep chambers), but I’m surprised we don’t have the ability to build them on our freighters. We have a lot of decorative pieces we can unlock from exploring derelicts but not these. Hopefully they would have an actual function but even if they were just decorative it would still be fun to have.

Honestly dont know anyone's else's experience with this game but ive personally experience nothing but bugs and constantly had to close out and reopen my game repeatedly, things that should've taken 30mins have now taken me up to an hour longer to complete, simply because the game keeps bugging out causing the entire game to just be unenjoyable making me question why I wasted 7-8 hours of my life on gaming experience that was me just resetting the game half the time instead of explaining your updates over there years and the pointless commentary on why said updates were made when the game is still unplayable and the community is relied on for how to get passed the actual bug need i mention all this for loot that isn't even worth it in the end

Logged into NMS two nights ago, after a little highaetus (excuse the spelling can’t be bothered to figure out how to spell highateus) only to find a small (not that small) update and one of the biggest and best changes to the game since corvettes. This made me think a bit more about where I wanted my praise to land, and I’m convinced it should land on the ever deserving shoulders of the Hello Games Team.
Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been listening to a lot
of videos about the whole NMS release and Sean’s media presence etc etc. In my humble opinion, Hello Games went from one of the most universally hatedd companies to one of the most highly rated and community loved studios in the industry.
Not through blind luck mind you, but through a team of people who understood what it felt like to be the star struck kid waiting in line for halo 2 or half life. Back when publishers and studios where the same this and their NO#1 priority was making sure that when the dust settled you had a game you could enjoy for far more hours than the story line ran for.
In my (and I don’t doubt plenty of other’s) opinion Hello games has shown their trump card and it’s the ace of spades.
If you treat your audience like kings and queens don’t be surprised when the royalties come flooding in.

I've been playing, admittedly infrequently, on and off since PC's release and was looking to return to some of the first worlds I originally discovered back then. Just a quick note, I know they won't be the same now. That aside, while looking, I noticed I have over 60 systems discovered (by myself) eleven years ago, and 3 systems "discovered UI_NUMBER_13 years ago".

I imagine at least the "UI_NUMBER_13" are bugged, but they are located in Euclid and can be marked with a Waypoint. I'm kind of tempted to try finding one. I'm curious if anyone knows the cause of this, and why it happens.

The weirder of the two for me are the 60+ "discovered eleven years ago" systems. Every system marked this way is in Eissentam, and all planets are marked as "Unknown Planet". I should note, I have never left Euclid, aside from the very end of the latest Expedition.

I imagine Atlas Rising (I think that's the first time they regen'd the galaxy..?) could be the cause, but I have no idea. I'd love to hear about it though.

So did I screw up the challenge of this game? I just got to hilbert dim and decided to try to get a ton of money. I wanted to try for upgrading and s-ranking everything I have.

EARLY in my game I had someone hand me 100 starship ai valves? Worth like 1.2 billion units. I simply stored them and said I wasnt going to sell them until I could easily make that money.

Well today is that day because I think I just efficiencied the challenge from this game.

Over the course of my playthrough I had gathered a ridiculous amount of items. Several bases whos entire goal is to mine for me, my freighter as a floating botany bay, and just collecting every recipe I could.

I got to looking into it and turns out with what i had stored, building fusion igniters was damn easy.

I found an S rank spot for electromag gens and built 100 Bio-Domes. I planted enough of the required plants to generate enough raw items for 50 fusion igniters plus extra. (33k fungal mold, 1.5k mordite, 17k cactus flesh, 6k frost crystal, 12k star bulb, 12k solanum.) I head to my mining bases and make sure my grids are generating enough to do a 1 per day collection. I caculate each gas or mineral I need to craft 50 fusion igniters, and add 2 more containers giving me 2k extra for a buffer.. (7k cobalt, 6k mag ferrite, 4750 pyrite, 4750 Uranium, 5k Ammonia 15k oxygen, 27k Sulphurine, radon and Nitrogen each.)

Today spent 10-20m using 36 refiners to convert 16-ish K oxygen to condensed carbon. Cobalt to ionized. 3k mag ferr into 6k-ish pure ferr. Then Simply made 100 thermic condensate, Nitro Salt, and enriched carbon. Everything else I made 50 of quickly turning them into 50 fusion igniters and selling the stack for just shy of 800m. (System had 1.2 percent extra buy price for it.)

Before this I was just under 225m and immediately felt like the game wasnt worth it anymore. Now Im over 1b and tomorrow Ill be at 1.7-1.8b. I dont even have a desire to sell that stack I was randomly given anymore.

I could work on my corvette since money doesnt really help there but part of me just is meh about it. Did I ruin the fun?

It sux to hop somewhere at the Anomaly to be stuck at a random galaxy with only a base computer and nothing around. I want to see your artistic development. Upload the latest version!
