Lord help me, I'm gonna start another new game of NMS after my new video card comes in. I wanna see how it does when I stream it to my Oculus Quest.

If that's what's intended, it's loving stupid. I mean, I'm not exactly smart either, considering it took me something like multiple years and I never noticed the auto-router never used my actual jump range. I just assumed it's another bug! This kind of thing makes me miss the ED-router and its thousands of options. Hell, because of the confusing way the NMS-map is layed out, it never even occurred to me that I don't have to use one of the routing options!

Ok guys, I've recently started playing this game with some friends and this is driving us crazy. How the hell do you complete a photo mission from the agent on XBOX. The internet is full of advice for how to set a PS4 or PC's settings to try and make it work, but I can't find any useful information regarding the Xbox client. I assume it's just broken and there's no way to fix it, but I might as well ask you goons before I give up entirely. Other than that, I've been enjoying the hell out of building little bases and casually ignoring most of the questline after unlocking the anomoly.

The internet is full of advice for how to set a PS4 or PC's settings to try and make it work, but I can't find any useful information regarding the Xbox client. Agent photo missions have three types: photograph a biome, photograph a critter, photograph a structure. You need to put the game into photo mode (from down on the d-pad) for all of them, and then take a screenshot. Biome and critter photos should be self-explanatory (an airless world is the occasional grey hunk of rock with no flora or fauna you may find out there), but for structure photos the central interactable point of the structure has to be in the photo mode frame when you take the photo.

Unfortunately, the mission never seems to complete for me. I've tried both a "photo a terrestrial animal" mission and a "photo a toxic planet" mission, each separately. Unfortunately, while the screenshot seems to save OK, the game doesn't notice that I've done it at all and the mission just keeps asking me to take another.

How do you dive in water on PSVR? I haven’t played this game in like 3 years and I’m trying to do the obvious “ease you into this very different and new game” missions. I’m trying to do the one that has the blue watery icon where you have to go to a ship that’s underwater. Took me a long time to get all the extra cold weather and breathing time upgrades crafted. Is it less difficult to dive outside of VR? I just can’t figure it out.

You have to take a photo IN PHOTO MODE, not just a screenshot. I'm not sure about Xbox, but on steam it's the difference between hitting F12 vs entering photo mode and clicking the mouse button.

blarzgh posted:Edit: The reason you must have a MANUAL save before the warp is because the game will create an autosave when you land in the Freighter's Hangar and get out to talk to the Captain. At that point, without a manual backup to return to, before the warp and battle, you're stuck with the ship you landed in, and, in particular, its Class and Slots. You can get out of your ship on the freighter after the battle and it will not auto save. This might be true for any freighter not owned by the player, but I'm not 100% sure.

It's also worth nothing that if you have the "take a photo of an Ancient Ruin" one, Ancient Ruin does not mean what you think it means. It doesn't refer to the Ruins where you dig up the artifact chests, it refers to one of the types of monolith.

I guess ill just ask in here: i bought an upgrade for my mining lasor but when I hit "Square" button to install the upgrade, my mutlitool doesn't have a space for it to fit in. How do I upgrade my mining lasor? I'm very new to this game but I am liking it a lot - I really can't wait to get the hyperdrive and actually explore the galaxy.

precision posted:Not all multitools have enough slots. Just gotta be patient and an alien will probably give you a good free one Ah ok. I just got to the space station and then landed back on my planet, which i named MIchaeltopia (my name irl is Michael). It's humid and hot, and there are burning rainshowers, but the flora and fauna aren't that interesting and I'd like to find a better base. Will I have the option to move it later once I start exploring the larger galaxy? I tried to like...kinda scan the planet for interesting things by flying upside down in the low atmosphere but clouds covered up much of the view so I couldn't really find a good place. Also, I keep seeing random ships fly around? Are those other players or NPCs? For a long while I thought i was in a remote uninhabited system and it kinda tossed out my immersion. Now I want to find someplace REALLY remote!

Fortunately there should be one where you got your upgrade, in a fancy flip case. Unfortunately it might be priced higher than you can afford right now. Every star system has its own multitool, and I think a secondary that shows up sometimes in the small bases with a single landing pad. Fortunately your starting system should have somewhere a planet with bones or scrap, which show up in your visor as yellow dig marks (salvaged data is blue dig marks). If it doesn't have those you can always do archaeology by going to a plaque or ancient ruin and seeking knowledge of the past, then selling what you find there. Once you have a bigger multitool and can explore the galaxy, it's worth keeping an eye out for A or S-rank multitool scanner upgrades to gigaboost your passive income from scanning new lifeforms.

You can have as many bases rear end you want. Just make sure they all have teleporters so you can warp between them. As far as I know the ships flying overhead are just window dressing. You can't interact with them.

Now I want to find someplace REALLY remote! 1. You can't directly move an existing base but it costs almost nothing to create a new base and you can have your old base packed up and recover all the costs and anything that was stored there. 2. The best way to find stuff on planets is to buy maps from the space station cartographer, he'll have several categories of stuff you can search for. You can't limit him to one planet in the system, though, it could be on any of them. 3. Those are NPCs, player ships will be really obvious but the world is so huge finding them serendipitously almost never happens. 4. There are truly uninhabited systems (no space station, every planet is a wasteland) but I think even there you may see the odd NPC at random.

I'm about 45 hours in, and did my fourth warp the other day. Made a base at the north pole of a 'beautiful' planet and I feel like I've won the game. It's so serene, there's a fantastic cave nearby to explore, I like the flora and fauna... why would I ever want to leave?

I've seen megafauna sometimes, most often on desert biomes. Megaflora often show up on "aberrant" planets orbiting non-yellow stars. One of the weekend missions combined the two, taming megafauna, and let me tell you it's a real hurdle to try and pitch a tasty treat in the path of something with a frigate-sized turning radius.

More recently there was one with these towering two-legged striders.

Inventory management is going to be a thing for awhile. You can buy drop pod coordinates (which always have an exosuit upgrade) that require materials to repair. Every station at the exosuit vendor sells one slot upgrade, and the cost scales up each time you buy one. A quick enough way to make money early on is to find a planet with either ancient bones or scrap (it'll show these on the planetary scanner) and loot those until you fill up all your space with them.

Just keep jumping and remember to always hit the station and pick one up and it'll take care of itself slowly. Making money: Get a bunch of nanites and buy a couple of S-rank scanner upgrades. Those will push payouts from scanning plants or animals into five or six digits a pop. You can also use the various scavenging mechanics (dinosaur bones, machine parts, ancient ruins) because those can drop incredibly valuable items at random.
