Rupert Buttermilk posted:I had the same exact thought. My only question is, why isn't it more widespread? You'd think this issue would be popping up all over the place. I mean depends on what's triggering it but it seems to be doing just that, for a given value of "all over"; searching the NMS discord help channel for "network" brings up several hits of people reporting missing network options in the last 24 hours alone.

If anyone's wanting to save scum for a perfect freighter, it's harder with the save changes but still possible on PC. You can Google around for the basic steps and then modify what's out there for the new save system. - Exit your ship on the space station before you jump and initiate the freighter battle. Copy those save files to a backup folder in case something messes up (there's something like "saveX" and "mf_saveX" I just copy both). Keep the game's save folder open in the background for this. - Jump to systems to check freighters. You should have time for a quick flyby without a save triggering. If it does save, your restore save should still be on the station (check save times). - When you find a freighter you want to farm, fly around for a few minutes without killing all the pirates and check the times on your save file (either in game or in the actual save folder itself). When you see that it made an autosave, alt tab to your save folder and copy the files out of the folder that matches up with the new save time and save them to another folder/desktop etc. - Finish the fight, enter the freighter, and scan the cargo bay on foot like usual. If it's not what you want, alt tab out and copy/paste the save you copied earlier back into the game's save folder and overwrite it. Make sure the save time matches up with your earlier save and reload. This will put you right in space at the start of the freighter battle and you can continue to save scum by repeating this last step. It's a bit more of a pain to set up, but once you get rolling it's quicker than before since you can start right in space near the freighter. The enemies are also still flying in on approach when you start so they'll usually be clumped and quick to take down since they're grouped up.

They've been around for a while but aren't super common, they're in all the abandoned systems. It was a fun little thing they added after revamping all the space stations to contain a lot more - the abandoned ones all use the original space station layout from the old versions of the game, with some ominous red on top.

Trying to get into this game finally after buying it a long time ago and barely playing it. Currently on the Space Anomaly and unable to leave. My ship has plenty of launch fuel, but when I get in and hit 'W' it just beeps at me. I've already spoken to the NPCs onboard, and my current mission is to return to space. I can try teleporting somewhere else with my ship and doing it there, but I'd rather just be able to leave here directly. Is this a known bug, am I screwing up, or ??? Edit: Teleported to a different space station and still can't take off. Edit 2: It's fixed. Restarted the game and it works again

Feel like they've been meaning to do something with those and the Station Override keys for new base-building, turning an empty system into an inhabited one, etc. Still, hard to fathom what that would add that's not already incorporated into settlements and freighters

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is "W" the launch key on PC? I play on Playstation and launch is the same button (trigger) as normal "accelerate" instead of "stick forward" which I equate the W key as being. If so, that's a super weird bug. Liftoff from the Anomaly, space stations or landing pads doesn't use up fuel at all.

slicing up eyeballs posted:well for starts, having my own space station would be extremely cool yeah, it's this. you could argue that freighters are essentially "bases in space" which is what a space station would also be, but iirc freighters are purely single player, you can't have other people visit or collaborate on anything. so ideally a player controlled space station would be a more social experience also it would be cool if they came up with differerent space station and building designs for gek, korvax, vykeen etc instead of having them all look exactly the same both in terms of layout and aesthetics

This functioning is a recent addition, so it's understandable to not know. Also, if a ship doesn't launch it has broken launch thrusters or a broken pulse drive. There should be a tool tip that pops up to notify you why you can't launch, but I could be wrong about that part.

you're all technically correct because multiplayer freighter visits worked as expected when the feature originally launched, then it was broken by an update at least once, I think at some point every player freighter became *your* freighter when you landed in it, and it all became very confusing

Is it normal for 3 or 4 out of 5 of my frigate expeditions to be industrial every day? It's been like this ever since I first got a freighter, no matter where I park it. I've tried looking this up online but can't find anything similar.

So I hadn't played this game since the "tech demo" that was the launch. HOLY BALLS what a turnaround. Now it's an actual REALLY fun game! I am 100% in on outer space Minecraft. So far, I have 3 ships, a Freighter, ~4 million units, and a few small bases. Have only ever made a few jumps to different systems. I have a few general questions: - is there a faster way to make Nanites other than Broken Equipment? - is there a faster way to get Resources than just mining everything by hand? Are the atmosphere processor and Auto Mining Unit worth it? - are the rest of the Exocraft as useless as the little dune buggy? It's slow as poo poo (even the boost), harder to aim than being on foot, and in nearly every way more tedious than just getting out and mining poo poo by hand. Is there something I am missing? And using the melee boost I am faster on foot anyway. - is there some way to switch the flight controls to something more like old-school Descent? Like where you have buttons for up/down/strafe, or do I just need to get used to the weird janky flight controls? -is it worth it to repair derelict ships? Seems like a TON of effort for a not much better salvage payoff. Only thing I have fully repaired is a Class B Hauler that I liked enough to fix up, but yeah...a hour or two of work to get an extra million in scrap doesn't seem worth it, really. So last coupla times I fix the bare minimum to get it to a space station to salvage and that's it. - what are the consequences to just blowing poo poo up- other ships, attacking freighters, etc.? Does it just reduce your ranking with whatever race it belonged to? Is that really a bad thing? Is there some other consequence I am unaware of? TIA. I am having a good time, just wondering about some of the less fun parts. Derping around looking for broken equipment is fine when poo poo costs like 6-700 nanites, tops, but on the freighter, there's some poo poo that's like 5k, 7k and other ridiculous numbers, and I think the most I have ever had at once was around 3k so far.

For nanites, keep an eye out for curious deposits, they give you a ton of runaway mould which refine into nanites. Drop a base down when you find some, because they respawn if you go 500u away and come back again. You can use a portal for this, or a series of short term teleporters to take you far enough away. This is what people call a mould farm. They will give you 2000 nanites in 20 minutes for each refiner you fill up. Also remember you harvest more of everything with a supercharged optical drill on your multitool. For general resources, set up extractors on hotspots, the storage will fill up even if you aren't playing. I like the motorbike best Flight controls are what they are The best moneymaker is crafting fusion ignitors or stasis devices which you will need to set up resource extraction and plant growing bases for. Piracy is consequence free in pirate systems

the best way to get nanites is to mow down sentinels with your favorite gun and an ai minotaur, turning the glass into sentinel modules and selling those.

Honestly for general resources I've found it's easiest just to make money and buy the raw materials in bulk, store them on your freighter, and top them off when you get low.

One note on the matter beam. The SHIP matter beam allows you to deposit to your ship from an extra 150u or something useless. The freighter version allows you to use your freighter with 10 storage modules installed from anywhere in the same system that your freighter is. Which basically makes all inventory problems vanish instantly.

I found the plans and built it and wondered what I was doing wrong since I couldn’t tell anything had changed. Looked it up and it’s more like “send/get things from the ship from anywhere in the base, not just next to it” which as you say, is p f useless
