That's not good for my megalophobia at all.quote:30,000 metric tons of cargo This however is enticing as I'm constantly struggling with this

The Scale of No Man's Sky: You -- small person-shaped person. Run around, shoot or mine things. Vehicles -- Often more trouble than they worth but can be fun if you find your groove. Scanners capable of locating valuable locations (I think it's submarine/everything else for which vehicles can scan for what) Ship -- You fly this between planets. Zoom around space making pew pew noises. Frigate -- Basically Freighter's little buddies. Send on expeditions, patch them up sometimes. Freighter -- BIG ship you can land your ship in. Build a base there. Or don't. Your call. Basically a mobile base though.

I'd love it if it was more like a starship enterprise, but it's awesome regardless. I treat it like my real base since Endurance. It's C class and I don't give a gently caress.

I'm actually curious if the inventory overhaul changed anything about what the maximum inventory size is now, it's harder to check safely now that there's no actual "manual" save and I don't want to accidentally blow away my good ship Ursine Catastrophe fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Oct 10, 2022 |

Also, to make matters MORE confusing, you unlock tech for your FREIGHTER but collecting and spending salvaged FRIGATE modules. No, I don't get it either.

Yeah, I don't know how it is for actual ships but since the frigates are doing expeditions I always imagine them carrying freight. Meanwhile the freighters are "Frig that's big!"

How about the stargate”s inputting materials into each of the 16 slots every single time? That was pointless garbage.

I feel like a good 80% of the time I could get one spun up and then not need to touch it for a fair while, though, I'm still not sure what actually triggers the "no longer powered" state

Two things: - Land craft / the nautilus both benefit significantly from this update in terms of storage space and durability, as they effectively get the tech tab that they previously lacked. I’m zooming around like an idiot in my Nomad - trade rocket trade rocket TRADE ROCKET. Somebody’s been playing Torchlight 2

Actually there’s a third thing - they seem to have patched out the sale of oxygen at trade terminals, which sucks if you’re really into efficient conversion of mined gasses into other kinds of gasses.

You can re-enable it in the difficulty settings (they specifically said they wanted to get away from selling 100% of all the necessary harvestable crap via random shop interfaces), but they also said they increased the efficiency of the portable oxygen harvester so it might be a moot point? I haven't checked to see how much better that efficiency is now.

So I've had a survival save going back years. Thought I'd load in to check it out and was poking around in the difficulty settings. I thought I'd try combat at challenging and just intentionally not trigger a save. Turns out they changed it so it saves automatically now. My save was converted from survival and I'm at a point where I was just lounging around right before I jumped to the center of the galaxy for the survival achievement. There goes my years-old survival save, thanks guys

Setting a portal's coordinates to all the first glyph puts you within like 10k light years of the centre in every galaxy.

I haven't tried to sell chlorine yet, but is that still profitable? That's a great use of oxygen. Just need one salt to start it and you're off.

It was nerfed pretty heavily, Chlorine sells for like 200 per now instead of 700ish before. E: On that subject I wonder why Trade Terminals no longer sell Life Support Gel/Batteries. While I can kind of get the reasoning behind not selling Oxygen at Trade Terminals I don't know what the point of that decision is. At least you start out with the battery recipe now and they're pretty cheap. Jagged Jim fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Oct 11, 2022 |

Okay, couple steps here: Start new game Get ship Start following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZErJCbfjqI Harvest raw materials for portal activations and also harvest nav data as much as possible Buy Alien Cartography things at space station, use them to find a portal on your starting planet Get glyphs you need to either get all 16 or stop when you can go to this portal address. Go to center. I personally have not done this myself but if I had to guess... maybe a couple hours?

Some wired bugs post patch -the pulsing heart tech on my living ship is missing -cant land on planets with living ships -station mission rewards not being awarded after mission completion Kinda disappointed that there was no addition of sorting inventory, no ability to mark planets to find while flying in space, and no indication of hemisphere to find those life forms that chose north or south.

New experimental update coming out that's going to fix a ton of poo poo, including the disappearing warp drive in freighters, and the fact that everyone's Waypoint-updated save will be given a few more tech slots for free. Unsure how many. https://twitter.com/NoMansSky/status/1579796558417395712?t=ZRZ8PtVUtt1dq3r-RNR0hw&s=19

Just fired up the experimental build and I can confirm my freighter now has a hyperdrive. My exosuit also has five additional tech slots despite this being a new game. Oh well, shan't complain.

A fix? That was fast. Also  , I've already spend some time upgrading ships and suits, I better stop now and wait until the patch hits PS4. I don't want to find out the hard way if the patch adds just some more tech slots or goes up to a fixed number that some light grinding may already overshoot.

marktheando posted:lol I mean honestly I don't doubt it, if you were of a mind to actually legitimately minmax 6 X-ranked anything, the variance is high enough that getting "max rolls" is like lottery ticket odds, and having half of that vanish would be not the greatest feeling it's just super weird to me that of all the game dev companies that exist, HG is the one I'd think most likely to say "okay maybe let's undo this" without needing to whip yourself into a eyes-ejected-on-a-stream-of-blood-from-your-ruptured-arteries screaming bitchfit about it otoh if you're spending hundreds of hours minmaxing in a game that's got no pvp scene to speak of and is largely a "chill out and vibe and praise the devs for giving us sitting animations" community, they may have always been one bad patch away from popping like a rotten grape

I like the idea of the galactic hub and spent many hours getting there and also got stuck near there due to an update many years ago but over the years I've really soured on that community. Primarily because them using glitches to rename planets other people already visited for vanity and did a lot of stuff on just is lame to me.

How do the sentinel mods work? It seems like they attach to each other, but not other weapon or systems. Are they free floating bonuses that affect everything?
