I haven’t noticed my PS4 Slim making any more noise than normal with the game, seems to be a Pro issue.

Sometimes when I first load my save my PS4 Regular will be super loud for about 30 seconds but then it calms down. It never gets as loud as it did during Uncharted 4 for me.

The inside is the same layout, you can make it as big as you want inside by building rooms. the old one was 17 storage spots, this one is 33. If i find a 48 unit one that doesn't look as awesome, i ain't touchin it.

it legit looks like a huge city out in front of you from the bridge.

Had a decent B class ship with 30 slots (4 tech), was looking for a decent A when this S class comes strolling into the space station. I wasn't expecting to see something that good already. Only has 23 slots but 6 tech, and had blue & green drives already and I'm not even far enough into playing to be dealing with different color hyperdrive stuff. And there's still an "Exotic" class above that or something?

Those are technically supposed to be multiplayer missions, so I would imagine they were only coded to remain in your log for one session.

In my experience it is very high variance. Just keep sending em out until they succeed.

One thing to note is that more frigates doesn't necessarily equal more success. Just make sure you're sending them on the right kind of mission.

nope. Some stations have 2000 units of ammonia or 2000 pyrite for sale and 2000 chromatic metal. that's enough for 20 fungus cluster or 20 cacti. I'm up to 240 fungus cluster, about 150 cacti and around 40 mordite plants. that gives me 12,000 fungal mold every 30 mins and 15,000 cactus every 2 hours. 600 fungal mold and 25 mordite make acid. 200 cactus flesh makes unstable jelly, put them together and you get liquid explosive which is worth $1,000,000.

For a while i bought ammonia every time i saw it, now i'm the mushroom king.

I think he was talking more about just being able to find Hot Ice and Thermal Condensate from random NPC ships before you even find the recipe and just selling the Cryo-Pumps. Now (at least on PC) you can only craft them.

The work you're putting into farming is still good. :)

Not just asteroids. Look for the different rocks around asteroids that have crystals sticking out or are just one big lump of crystal. Platinum drops from those. If you don't see them then hop into another system. You can definitely tell the difference in what you need to shoot.

PARTY ALL NIGHT

Maybe this is the wrong question but here we go:

With a game like Minecraft you are expected to find an area you like, crave out a base and use that as your center point for building and exploring.

With this game I have no idea when/where I should set up shop. Yeah there are nice temperate planets but do not offer any special resources.

It is implied that I'm going to get better drives that let me go to more exotic systems. Should I go deeper in before making a base?
Should I set up on this nice but boring planet and spend fuel to jump back to craft?

Sorry if this is vague but the sheer scope of the whole thing gives me a very strange sense of FOMO.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
I know it ends up creating funny looking creatures, but I wish the animal generation tried a bit harder to build animals that didn't have parts that were SO different from each other.

I really hate the animals that stands up on two legs still have four round paws as if they were meant to walk on four. There's a lot of combinations that are the same everywhere, like so many planets I've seen have had an alien that had crab hands, tentacle legs and like a walnut body. SO MANY. Weirdly enough the animals that end up feeling the most normal because of the way the generation works are the ones that have to bounce around because they have no legs. The giant pineapple with eyeballs that bounced around didn't break my immersion quite as much as like this guy:



Some animals like this don't feel like an animal, they feel like the procedural generation going crazy and it takes me out of the game a bit.

The same planet had this little guy who felt like he was put together properly.



There's also not a lot of variations in flying creatures that I've seen. Only recently did I finally see flying animals that didn't look like bats. I guess this has been an issue since the game first started though so I don't think that's an issue they're going to go back to

You can warp to your base through a teleporter that's in every space station, and you can set up more than one base so don't worry missing out. You can also teleport between the last 4 or so stations you've visited.

Make a base anywhere that looks interesting, it's easy to get back to and costs nothing.

The space station telproter is only one way, but that just means you fly back into space and to the station again when you want to go.

You can also build a base teleporter later to skip that step.
