You don't buy exosuit storage upgrades from an NPC, you interact with an object at one of the corners of the station. A holographic backpack will appear when you get close to it. I don't know why the NPCs won't talk to you, maybe you've got some unfinished tutorial missions or something.

So I'm trying to play with a controller and does this game just not have true Switch controller support? it says it has an official configuration and it DOES work. however every controller prompt is replaced with this.

Found an extreme weather aggressive sentinels planet and so far far I am loving it. It's also making GBS threads gravitino balls and storm crystals.

So, if I've got the option to get this game on PS4 (with PSVR) or on PC (with no VR), which should it be? My PC is a lot more powerful in terms of graphics capability, but lacks any kind of VR. That being said, the game is a couple of years old now so I'm assuming that the non VR visual performance of a PC (I've heard about the blur) isn't actually that different to a ps4 (Pro).

DaveKap posted:Use Cheat Engine to skip the grind. Or just do Creative mode. The progression aspect of this game did a 180 with the Beyond update but neither before nor after did it ever feel good. I could probably write an essay around how and why the "game design" aspects of NMS are mostly terrible, just play Creative. I'd compare it against Subnautica, the game that made me give NMS a shot. I feel like this game is one of the rare ones where an early access run would of vastly helped it.

My dude I clearly meant back before it was released. I think feedback from a larger playerbase beforehand would of helped iron out at least some of the obvious 'why do they still do it this way' problems that plague it.

I know that I can go to those people over there to upgrade my stuff but the only option I get is "leave" and I don't know what I'm supposed to do to get them to let me buy more storage space on my suit. Easiest way to upgrade exosuit storage capacity is to hit up the space station in every system you warp to. Back in the day, we could easily find 20 drop pods on a single planet and pay to upgrade a storage slot in the exosuit. Now, we have to find other poo poo to repair those drop pods in order to upgrade the exosuit. So... maybe just stick to the upgrade available in the space station. Word of warning, the max units you'll have to pay for extra storage is 1,000,000. No idea how many slots you need to buy before it gets that expensive, but make sure you're doing odds and ends to keep the cash flow coming.

ijii posted:Most likely reason aliens tell you to gently caress off is because your standing with them isn't high enough. I have the same issue with my new game where I haven't made any effort in increasing my standing. My old save though where I maxed it, I haven't had that happen to me. Unless they've fixed it, exosuit upgrades are currently bugged and do not deduct units.

On the Galaxy Map when you look at systems/stars, there is a filter for economy but I can't understand the meaning of all the colors. Is there an easier way then to manually select each system when you try to find Tier 3 economy?

Unfortunately, I do not believe there is a filter for economy wealth, so you're stuck manually looking at every system to see whether or not it is 3 star.

Theres mods to alleviate the grind. If you don't feel like going through a bigass list, check out Beyond Fantasy. It's kind of an all-in-one mod that has parts you can leave out. Some examples of things that I have are, it only takes 1% launch fuel to launch, 1 warp cell lasts 20 jumps, exocraft pads are crated with two metal plates and a battery instead of ore. It makes the exocrafts not suck to use. I'm not going to use the terrain generation because I play with people that don't use mods, but everything else looks awesome. Also a neat thing about that mod is that it if you start a new game it skips the tutorial and gives you a random multitool and ship.

Old terrain gen was a lot more intense on the engine, which was fine back when the game didn't have multiplayer, but now it does, and I assume it was causing problems. Someone also brought up that it hosed with bases a lot I think.

I've almost collected enough salvage now to unlock everything and I think I can safely say they should find more excuses to use the exocraft. That part of the game is just super great fun - it should definitely be unlocked quicker. Now my roamer is fully upgraded it's a complete blast. Land, plop down a roamer platform and goooooo.

Remember that if you've built the exocraft stations in your base, you only need to build the radar thingy when you get planetside to summon any of them. Build it, summon, dismantle it. After you've summoned your exocraft, you can summon it to you again on that planet even if you fly to the other side of the globe.

Prospecting for gas and mineral harvester bases is a good use for exocraft, I've been driving around looking for groupings of three deposits where I can put down a base computer in the middle

Broken Cog posted:No lol Ibram Gaunt posted:I feel like this game is actively trying to prevent me from enjoying it at this point. I’m pretty surprised how little the game has improved user-experience wise. Nothing is really explained or makes intuitive sense. Weird design decisions and straight up omitted details makes this feel like those Minecraft modpacks that you need multiple wikis open for. But at least with Minecraft mods there’s documentation? There’s just a staggering amount of things that can be “fixed” with a QoL-centric update. Stop having me hold down the mouse button for everything, let me max sell/buy, let me mass upload, speed up menus, stop making me listen to some Gek’s life story each time I want to hand him 1 navigational data. It’s frustrating because underneath it all, this game can be pretty cool sometimes. But the amount of roadblocks this game creates for itself brings it down to C- grade when it could easily be a solid B. Just how small is this dev team?

Springfield Fatts posted:New thread name. It's pointlessly frustrating and needlessly obtuse now, I can't imagine what a nightmare this was at launch. Paradoxically, it was much easier and clearer at launch, because most of the systems that make the game obtuse and complicated today simply did not exist. It was just you, your spaceship, and an endless series of planets. Collect A for the launch thrusters, collect B for the pulse drive, collect C, D, and E for warp fuel, maybe some F and G to keep the life support topped up, then move on. No farming, no construction, no quests, no missions, no tech asking for quantities of second- or third-generation materials, just flying around looking at stuff. This was not enough to be a satisfying game for a whole lot of people, but it was a lot more straightforward. buglord posted:It only applies to some things, strangely.

It only applies to things for which a misclick has no real cost, it'll still ask for a hold for things that aren't easily undone like deleting a stack. haveblue fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Sep 1, 2019 |

I'm kind of an old, so I'm tickled by the amount of Foss inspired architecture & ships in the game, I just started recently and its been an amazing blast, the first 20 hours is comprised of kicking yourself in the balls a lot of the time until you work out what you are doing, then, Zing, your problems is "What, I can only posses 6 ships?"

Nice If it helps, you can use those weird front things with doors and huge glasses in them. They don't even need glass for some reason. Add the ceiling tile with similar magic glass in it above your head and the claustrophobia-level sinks by approx. 78%. (Or just make one huge hall around you, if you have enough materials.)
