Great comment. I've got two small kids and gaming is a quite rare occasion, so nice to hear it's playable at smaller sessions with days or weeks between
Let's be real, the only "HUGE" mistakes you can make is scrapping the wrong ship or multitool, or accidentally deleting a base. There's nothing else that you can't come back from.
It's very very obvious if you're doing all 3 of those things, you get the "Are you sure" confirmation on each of them don't you? And you know exactly which ship and Multi-Tool you're scrapping
@@BunkzGaming It is obvious, but mistakes still get made. I liked the video, but "HUGE MISTAKES" aren't a thing in NMS and that's one of the things that makes it a great game. This was a "things I wish I knew earlier" video.
@@BunkzGaming thats right it should be but almost every gamer has had the frustrated brain fart where game Jesus takes the wheel and steers you right towards regret street. Nothing but shame and disapointment there.
I'm personally amazed you did all missions and only spent 300 hours on it (even if since you have been playing two years it means you didn't get to play all expeditions). Quite impressive!
Every time I exit my ship on planet, I put down my refiner, and check to see if I have any easily refinable resources that I can start working on. Metal scrap, carbon, etc. then I go off on my merry way and pick it up again once I'm ready to take off
I think it's quicker to upgrade your exosuit by buying drop pod maps on space stations using navigational data (which you find everywhere) then just plotting a route to them on a nearby planet, rather than going the circuitous route of building an exocraft and upgrading its scanners to find buildings
I've done both of those on my current playthrough, and it's a bit of a trade-off...though I agree the drop pod maps are quicker in that you can start them easier (especially if you find a minor settlement and can buy them in bulk with units). The neat thing about the exocraft scanners is that they'll point out _nearby_ drop pods, rather than the maps' bouncing you all over a planet (and wasting launch fuel), and with a mining laser you don't need to pre-stock the materials to fix pods.
RE:Freighter: The only differences between an S-Class Freighter and a C-Class Freighter is aesthetics, bonuses to Frigate missions, and starting slots in the freighter's "main" inventory, and technology slots. The frigate bonuses are mildly helpful but not game-changing, and most people do a few and then never touch them again. Getting deep into Frigate missions is painstaking work, and most players won't be that interested in it. The larger tech inventory can be a point for some, but everything outside of the Hyperdrive mods are all having to do with Frigates, so if you're not doing Frigates then you won't care about how many tech slots you have. Next up, the starting slots. A total non-issue. The difference between C and S-Class is about 20-30 slots which sounds like a lot, UNTIL you realize you can build 10 storage rooms which are linked to the storage cubes of the same number that you can build on a planetary base. Anything you put in Cube #5 on a base, will show up in Room #5 on your freighter. This means that all freighters have potentially access to some 300 storage slots. Suddenly that 20-30 slots doesn't make much of a difference. That just leaves aesthetics, which I get you might want to shop around for if you care about that enough. Now, NOT taking your first freighter means you are delaying access to: 1). A ship hangar where you can easily swap ships 2). Having access to all of your storage crates anytime (after you install the matter teleporter) 3). Being able to summon any exocraft anywhere your freighter is capable of warping to (after you install the relevant room) 4). Frigate missions (If you plan on getting into those) 5). The ability to grow plants without having to worry about power stations (unlike bio-domes on a base) 6). The gas extractor room 7). A mobile base in general with all the benefits that brings 8). A long-range warp drive (at least until you get a sentinel interceptor with some hyperdrive mods) IMO, it's better to take the first freighter you get ASAP for the reasons above.
I take the first one because it unlocks the pirate dreadnoughts, which are my preferred freighter and are always free. That said, there is another difference between classes which are the (hidden) core value for the frigate missions (which you mentioned) as well as the warp drive (which you didn't). My S class pirate dreadnoughts usually have less tech and cargo slots than the C class ones initially, but the slots can be overcome by doing the scrap missions and the boost to warp drive distance is helpful later in the game when you are trying to unlock all the galaxies.
I grab the 1st free freighter regardless of its class. I'm not bothered about its cargo capacity or warp range: I want the utility I get from simply installing a matter transporter and exocraft materialiser, plus the passive unit making of frigate expeditions, and the ease of salvaging/scrapping ships, which is my main unit earner (I usually have a few claimed by the time I get the freighter). In a few hours I'll have enough credits to buy any S class freighter I happen to come across, and only then will I think about upgrading its warp drive, etc. I've tried waiting to get a free S class, but it was a real drag (NMS RNG...) and I honestly felt I was holding my progress back.
That's fair enough. To be honest getting an S class freighter in any way is a long grind and not worth the effort half the time. It sucks you can't upgrade them like everything else, I still have my A class capital one instead of a regular S class
Also it's become a lot harder since Echoes, because at least half the battles have a pirate dreadnought now, and you don't get the freebie from those.@@BunkzGaming
Same here....always take the first freighter, then head out to dissonant planets and find and sell sentinel ships, at the same time start frigates on excursions. By the time I get a chance to buy another freighter I have tons of money!
This is the difference between putting your money to work for you vs putting in the time yourself. Outsource the money generation as you go and play and hunt ships to scrap, and you're doubling your potential
Also note, Emiril can be found in Buried Caches sometimes, and the quantity increased through refining. Once you have that drive, and are running frigate missions, you can get Indium. I have a ton of both now and have never been to a non-yellow system.
pro tip. Buy all the ferrite dust and basic minerals from the trade terminal so you don’t have to keep mining all day to get the minerals you need. You will quickly make the money spent back and not have to worry about wasting any time.
Each of the three chromatic drives adds 50ly to your warp distance(this is the same for freighters). So, they're worth having in, but easily stored if you need the space for something else.
My first free freighter was one of those star destroyer looking ones, s-class. I never noticed it started out as such and thought they eventually became s-class, so I later traded it for a c-class sentinel one.
In only recently started playing since it finally seems to be in a decent state now. It's pretty fun and makes me wonder even more how Bethesda thought they could get away with Starfield. There are a couple of things that I don't like, for example a console-like interface on PC with keyboard and mouse and a lot of unintuitive design though, which I fear will never be addressed now. Sometimes even important information is not shown. For example, on the first day I didn't even realize that I could choose which inventory / tech slots to unlock, because the interface doesn't give any hint that this is possible. A lot of things have to be looked for online, therefore thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
I've been doing another run through with the latest update and this guide was super helpful, especially the resource tracking! I've been ripping my hair out trying to find Uranium lol.
On Freighters: Actually if your first one isn’t an S-Class you can reload your save as many times as you like to reroll. The key is to warp into a system with the style you like. Of course, if you’re going for a pirate freighter then your first one doesn’t matter at all, but you do need to have one to get a pirate freighter. Still, when going for a pirate dreadnaught the same save-reload rule/trick applies. Just do it until you get an S class.
Yeah I've tried the reload thing before, it's not worth the effort in my opinion because it could take 100 reloads or more. I've got an A class pirate freighter and that's me done now 😂
@@BunkzGaming Well, even if you’re not going for an S-Class, my point was simply that you don’t _have_ to take the first one you see. You can reload your save from before you warped into the system to go back or somewhere else for a different style/class. You aren’t stuck with whatever you find first. Personally, I _did_ hunt for an S-Class… which I had to do twice because I, stupidly, _did_ take the first freighter I found. Then when I first found an S-Class it was too expensive, so I had to leave it to go farm up more units _then_ hunt for it again. 😩
RE: Galaxy Travel: DON'T have a Sentinel Interceptor or a Sentinel Multi-Tool as your current ship/tool when you change galaxies. You will *Absolutely Regret It* because they are annoying and insanely expensive to repair because they have special technologies that take sentinel materials to fix (or use repair kits).
@@Killpocalips It's best to switch to a beater ship before you change galaxies, that way it's simple and easy to fix, and then once on the other side, you can summon your interceptor and continue flying it.
Which is better, the jump boots or the melee jump move? I've found that I use both in different situations, but the jump boots seems to use more fuel than the melee jump.
2:30 my friends and I just picked this game up again after not playing it since it released. My buddy got an S Class freighter as his first free freighter.
Very good video. Bought it two days ago and 9h into and went to three systems only as I’m taking my time. These tips will be useful. This game is truly special.
You can just save before your fifth jump and check the design of the frigther in the system you jump into. If you like it, check the class and if it is to low you can just reload. If you dont like it, reload and use a different system and repeat.
Great vid plenty of tips,didn't realise jumping to a new galaxy breaks your equipment. Playing on the psvr2 at the moment and I'm to busy getting wow'ed by the immersion to concentrate on what I'm meant to be doing 😄😄 Just got yourself another sub ,i shall be ploughing thru the rest of your nms vids,cheers 🙂👍🍻🍻
@@BunkzGaming the psvr2 version is now amazing thanks to the recent dynamic foeveated rendering and eye tracking update,no more blurry visuals its razor sharp. If you've got access to it on psvr2 its definitely worth it ,as i said in my comment I'm too busy just looking at stuff instead of playing it properly 🙂👍cheers
@@aparker570 omg the NMS psvr2 is the most immersive experience i've had in VR. I never managed to get into NMS in 2d, but trying it on a whim for the psvr2 has me HOOKED. It's all ive been playing.
Protip. Stash all exo suit technology upgrades in your freighter. You install later. Park freighter literally at the core 1 jump away. Buy a random ship that flies into your freighter. Fly that into the core. On the new galaxy side that ship you bought is now busted. Game thinks you're going to fix it....... Summon freighter. Summon real ship. Install tech upgrades stored in your freighter. Go scrap the damaged ship at the space station. Enjoy core jumps.... All suns into any portal-->>> within 5k core any galaxy. Remember to base build in each galaxy to be able to jump back and forth at will.
BEST way I've found to grind UNITS and NANITES. Simply get a few mill units first, (I normally craft Chlorine), then start buying any NCP ships at a space station and SCRAP THEM for the parts to sell. You always get at least 2x the Units spent on the ship, plus you get FREE UPGRADES that you can sell for NANITES. Another HUGE bonus to this is all the FREE SHIP INVENTORY EXPANSION items you will receive. I'll net about 150 MILLION units and around 10 THOUSAND NANITES each hour of hanging around a space station and just scrapping everyone's ships. Try to go for the better ships of coarse, but to start any will do.
@@snow7728 Well, i can confirm this, but i guess it has something to do with fiddling with your difficulty setting. There is a setting there for getting more money when selling or scrapping stuff. It does feel like cheating, but you can always change your difficulty back to default if you don't like it and the game does not punish you for changing the setting.
A correction: when you talk of warping into a galaxy, it's actually a system (solar/planetary) you are warping into within one galaxy (Euclid, I suppose). A galaxy can have many, many, many such systems.
I only took the freighter i have because it looks like a star destroyer from star wars. I had no idea how long it world be til i saw another so i gave in and took it. But at b tier it has really damn good cargo space. I really need to work on getting frigates because the only one i have is kinda trash
Sometimes HG does expedition redux and if you ever get a chance to redo the second expedition (Beachhead) do NOT hesitate as the final reward is the Normandy from Mass Effect; a top-tier S-class frigate 4free, 4ever. Start a new playthrough? Head to the anomaly and talk to the QS vendor to add this beauty to your fleet. Unless for some reason they nerf that and make you have to pay (Quicksilver) to get it outta hock like they recently did the Golden Vector from the first expedition, an excellent S-class starship, BTW.
Hey Bunkz. I know you NMS TH-camrs love your S Class freighters but in my opinion they are overrated. I got an A Class fully upgraded. I can warp more than 4000 lightyears. My fleet sometimes requires 0 zero again zero tons of fuel for expeditions. In the time I was trying on S Class I got 4 times the chance for A class(and took the fourth one). All my tech and storage slots are maxed out,so I don't even know what to do with all the space+++ I really don't got the patience for S Class. Guy's believe me when I tell you that it will take a loooooooooooooong time for S Class. Be happy with A Class!!!😘😘😘
I would like to point out that accepting a payment for rescuing the first freighter, invalidates the "free" freighter next time you rescue one. You must "DECLINE" if you want to choose a free freighter at a later date.
"All you need to do is have an exocraft". Well. That's a problem, as a relative newbie (who I take it this video is for) I haven't figured out how to get that yet 🙃 Some tips are useful though, thanks.
RE:Hyperdrive Modules: At the beginning of the game, a beginner player is probably going to be hurting for nanites. Hyperdrive Upgrades are the *LAST* thing I would be spending nanites on. Spend your nanites on these, in this order: 1). Exosuit Movement System (jetpack/sprint) 2). Scanner (+credits from scanning things) 3). A multitool weapon of your choice 4). Life Support / Hazard Protection 5). Everything else The Movement System I place first, because, well, you run out of sprint way too fast at the beginning of the game and it takes forever to do anything when you have to stop and catch your breath every 50 feet and your jetpack only lasts 5 seconds. Once you install 3 S-Class movement system upgrades, you'll be sprinting longer, and jet packing way higher, making movement much better. As for the scanner upgrades, 3 S-Class Scanner Upgrades makes you go from getting 1,600 for a rare creature to getting 300,000+. It's insanely ridiculous, and after a couple planets of just scanning random critters, trees, and rocks, you can buy any ship or tool you want.
For casual difficulty players, you dont need to worry about most of these tips, the game will be easy and forgiving, you WILL be able to take on the toughest combat situations pretty much with a vanilla starter ship. and thats the toughest aspect of the game
for me it was deleting harmonic brain, i cancelled the mission and it didnt work i went and found another ship, went up to it, and it still had everything missing and still looking for that harmonic brain. i did it again, cancelling the mission, then saved and reloaded and finally it worked, and the next ship had the stuff in it and i was able to continue.
LMAO at the first one uhhh... That would be why I'm here 😅 I lucked upon a salvageable A class shuttle and put decent time into upgrading it's kit, took some missions, I fought and won against my first sentinel dreadnaught and got an interceptor all without encountering the "free freighter" stuff because I haven't done the main quests LOL I guess I'll get on that just so I can learn a bit more organically about the nms's game systems
I ran out of liftoff thruster fuel, was stuck around sentinal drones and my multitool was stuck on terrain manipulation mode while i still had no way to do damage to the drones. Now, when i try getting back in the game crashes
I'm in one of my outposts, and BAM! I'm dead. Back to that house, and 5 min later BAM! I'm dead. Carefully checking what weapon I have mounted, etc. Turns out that RIGHT-CLICK was firing my "Geology Cannon" (even tho it was my MINING TOOL that was mounted), in the house. 1-shot, I was dead. I hadn't realized I was accidently fat-fingering the RIGHT-CLICK. Second lesson, the "saves" are USELESS. Two of them were being created in virtually the same moment, and that's all there are. Final lesson (I played a lot of Valheim, so I had different expectations)... the "grave" DISAPPEARS when you die a 2nd time. In other words, it's USELESS if your grave is parked next to something you are just discovering, that killed you, and you haven't figured out yet how to survive.
Now I always take the first freighter I get, no matter what it is. The utility of a moving storage at the beginning is massive, while your exo and ship inventory are likely pretty small. Might seem a lot to buy an S-class freighter straight up later, but it’s just a few scrapped ships to accumulate the funds.
Ive been rejecting the first freighter which is good but I havent been accepting payments! Somehow i thought that was similar to accepting the ship its self and would make it no longer free in the future. Ive probably missed out on 6 or more payments i could have accepted.
5:25 - this is a serious mistake. If you upload them one by one you can't upload all fauna records at once for a MUCH bigger nanite bonus. Only do that if you've completely given up on finding all animals on that planet.
I was thinking about playing the PS5 version but not really impressed with the graphics from watching videos… just seems like if you played it on a 4K setup it would be much better.
9:20 huh? Your stuff breaks in higher galaxies? I have no idea what you are aiming at with this tip. I need to switch ship and tool, before entering a new system or else it breaks?
This typically happens automatically after 5 jumps. You will stumble into a freighter under attack in which you will need to destroy the pirates in order to be hailed by the Admiral and offered command of the freighter as your reward
Why are paradise/lush planets special? The system I spawned in has 2, got my base set up there and I don't notice anything special other than not being killed faster, although only 1 of the 4 planets in that system is killing me faster (1 in 5 if counting a moon)
Another nanite trick i can give you is cook meat stew and give it to the fat guy on the anomoly in the back easy thousands off nanites from simole meat stew that can be made several ways from mordite or parts of flesh of animals
I found this out yesterday and it's super useful. I usually refill my holes for Salvage Data or other buried goodies and did this on an ore deposit and it does refill it!!
i used to play back in 2020 on my xbox, couldn’t get the save file data over to my PC unfortunately. Because of this i have to start over completely. i used to have a second back pack and i’ve noticed other people have new ones. QUESTION: which back packs are currently available to me to obtain starting in October 2023?
they make the terrain manipulator like that so everyone doesnt beat their game with absolutely no effort . take the time to play right, get rewarded. although you can change the settings. ruin the game for yourself lol. the whole exploration/resource farming, IS no mans sky
But but but it's just one long tutorial from start to finish! /S I love that the game helps you to survive and grow, but doesn't actually tell you everything.
Yeeeeaaaahh, these are just basic common sense things to do for the most part. I don’t know anyone that plays and doesn’t collect resources, that’s like half the game. Seems like you didn’t really have a topic so you just put a bunch of random basic info together to make a video. 😢
I bought the game. Played a little and thought 'this game sucks'. That was my #1 mistake. I waited a few months and started playing it during the Singularity expedition. What a great game. I love how you can play this game any way you want.
If no one remembers, the "melee jump" was a glitch at launch they've left and reworked into the game. Best Dev's ever
except they can't fix shit disappearing from refineries when you leave a system.

That's fair enough. To be honest getting an S class freighter in any way is a long grind and not worth the effort half the time. It sucks you can't upgrade them like everything else, I still have my A class capital one instead of a regular S class
Also it's become a lot harder since Echoes, because at least half the battles have a pirate dreadnought now, and you don't get the freebie from those.@@BunkzGaming
Same here....always take the first freighter, then head out to dissonant planets and find and sell sentinel ships, at the same time start frigates on excursions. By the time I get a chance to buy another freighter I have tons of money!
This is the difference between putting your money to work for you vs putting in the time yourself. Outsource the money generation as you go and play and hunt ships to scrap, and you're doubling your potential
Also note, Emiril can be found in Buried Caches sometimes, and the quantity increased through refining. Once you have that drive, and are running frigate missions, you can get Indium. I have a ton of both now and have never been to a non-yellow system.
I didn't know you could mine resources with the ship. That's going to make getting ferrous dust and carbon so much less of a grind. Thanks 🎉
pro tip. Buy all the ferrite dust and basic minerals from the trade terminal so you don’t have to keep mining all day to get the minerals you need. You will quickly make the money spent back and not have to worry about wasting any time.
Pro tip, you can refine rusted metal into a lot of ferrite dust, and also unrefine condensed carbon back into carbon
Each of the three chromatic drives adds 50ly to your warp distance(this is the same for freighters). So, they're worth having in, but easily stored if you need the space for something else.
My first free freighter was one of those star destroyer looking ones, s-class. I never noticed it started out as such and thought they eventually became s-class, so I later traded it for a c-class sentinel one.
In only recently started playing since it finally seems to be in a decent state now.
It's pretty fun and makes me wonder even more how Bethesda thought they could get away with Starfield.
There are a couple of things that I don't like, for example a console-like interface on PC with keyboard and mouse and a lot of unintuitive design though, which I fear will never be addressed now.
Sometimes even important information is not shown. For example, on the first day I didn't even realize that I could choose which inventory / tech slots to unlock, because the interface doesn't give any hint that this is possible.
A lot of things have to be looked for online, therefore thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Only started playing just after Christmas 23 and I'm hooked
I've been doing another run through with the latest update and this guide was super helpful, especially the resource tracking! I've been ripping my hair out trying to find Uranium lol.
On Freighters: Actually if your first one isn’t an S-Class you can reload your save as many times as you like to reroll. The key is to warp into a system with the style you like. Of course, if you’re going for a pirate freighter then your first one doesn’t matter at all, but you do need to have one to get a pirate freighter. Still, when going for a pirate dreadnaught the same save-reload rule/trick applies. Just do it until you get an S class.
Yeah I've tried the reload thing before, it's not worth the effort in my opinion because it could take 100 reloads or more. I've got an A class pirate freighter and that's me done now 😂
@@BunkzGaming Well, even if you’re not going for an S-Class, my point was simply that you don’t _have_ to take the first one you see. You can reload your save from before you warped into the system to go back or somewhere else for a different style/class. You aren’t stuck with whatever you find first.
Personally, I _did_ hunt for an S-Class… which I had to do twice because I, stupidly, _did_ take the first freighter I found. Then when I first found an S-Class it was too expensive, so I had to leave it to go farm up more units _then_ hunt for it again. 😩
RE: Galaxy Travel: DON'T have a Sentinel Interceptor or a Sentinel Multi-Tool as your current ship/tool when you change galaxies. You will *Absolutely Regret It* because they are annoying and insanely expensive to repair because they have special technologies that take sentinel materials to fix (or use repair kits).
Really I find this the reason I stick with them.. basically everything can be charged with shards OR their usual fuels
@@Killpocalips It's best to switch to a beater ship before you change galaxies, that way it's simple and easy to fix, and then once on the other side, you can summon your interceptor and continue flying it.
im having the adventure of a lifetime playing this in VR.
Which is better, the jump boots or the melee jump move? I've found that I use both in different situations, but the jump boots seems to use more fuel than the melee jump.
2:30 my friends and I just picked this game up again after not playing it since it released. My buddy got an S Class freighter as his first free freighter.
I got an A Class Capital Ship for my first! 🤣
Very good video. Bought it two days ago and 9h into and went to three systems only as I’m taking my time. These tips will be useful. This game is truly special.
I had no idea about the terrain manipulator tip, thats wild, thanks for the info!!!
You can just save before your fifth jump and check the design of the frigther in the system you jump into. If you like it, check the class and if it is to low you can just reload. If you dont like it, reload and use a different system and repeat.
Great vid plenty of tips,didn't realise jumping to a new galaxy breaks your equipment.
Playing on the psvr2 at the moment and I'm to busy getting wow'ed by the immersion to concentrate on what I'm meant to be doing 😄😄
Just got yourself another sub ,i shall be ploughing thru the rest of your nms vids,cheers 🙂👍🍻🍻
How is PSVR2 for NMS? Thanks for the support! And enjoy the vids 😁
@@BunkzGaming the psvr2 version is now amazing thanks to the recent dynamic foeveated rendering and eye tracking update,no more blurry visuals its razor sharp.
If you've got access to it on psvr2 its definitely worth it ,as i said in my comment I'm too busy just looking at stuff instead of playing it properly 🙂👍cheers
@@aparker570 omg the NMS psvr2 is the most immersive experience i've had in VR. I never managed to get into NMS in 2d, but trying it on a whim for the psvr2 has me HOOKED. It's all ive been playing.
Protip. Stash all exo suit technology upgrades in your freighter. You install later. Park freighter literally at the core 1 jump away. Buy a random ship that flies into your freighter. Fly that into the core.
On the new galaxy side that ship you bought is now busted. Game thinks you're going to fix it....... Summon freighter. Summon real ship. Install tech upgrades stored in your freighter. Go scrap the damaged ship at the space station.
Enjoy core jumps....
All suns into any portal-->>> within 5k core any galaxy. Remember to base build in each galaxy to be able to jump back and forth at will.
BEST way I've found to grind UNITS and NANITES. Simply get a few mill units first, (I normally craft Chlorine), then start buying any NCP ships at a space station and SCRAP THEM for the parts to sell. You always get at least 2x the Units spent on the ship, plus you get FREE UPGRADES that you can sell for NANITES. Another HUGE bonus to this is all the FREE SHIP INVENTORY EXPANSION items you will receive. I'll net about 150 MILLION units and around 10 THOUSAND NANITES each hour of hanging around a space station and just scrapping everyone's ships. Try to go for the better ships of coarse, but to start any will do.
Can someone confirm if this actually works or if this is a troll post?
@@snow7728 Well, i can confirm this, but i guess it has something to do with fiddling with your difficulty setting. There is a setting there for getting more money when selling or scrapping stuff. It does feel like cheating, but you can always change your difficulty back to default if you don't like it and the game does not punish you for changing the setting.
Just staring out NMS, good tips here
A correction: when you talk of warping into a galaxy, it's actually a system (solar/planetary) you are warping into within one galaxy (Euclid, I suppose). A galaxy can have many, many, many such systems.
I only took the freighter i have because it looks like a star destroyer from star wars. I had no idea how long it world be til i saw another so i gave in and took it. But at b tier it has really damn good cargo space. I really need to work on getting frigates because the only one i have is kinda trash
The design is based on the system. If you save before your fifth jump you can reload until it is s class
Sometimes HG does expedition redux and if you ever get a chance to redo the second expedition (Beachhead) do NOT hesitate as the final reward is the Normandy from Mass Effect; a top-tier S-class frigate 4free, 4ever. Start a new playthrough? Head to the anomaly and talk to the QS vendor to add this beauty to your fleet. Unless for some reason they nerf that and make you have to pay (Quicksilver) to get it outta hock like they recently did the Golden Vector from the first expedition, an excellent S-class starship, BTW.
Hey Bunkz.
I know you NMS TH-camrs love your S Class freighters but in my opinion they are overrated.
I got an A Class fully upgraded. I can warp more than 4000 lightyears. My fleet sometimes requires 0 zero again zero tons of fuel for expeditions. In the time I was trying on S Class I got 4 times the chance for A class(and took the fourth one). All my tech and storage slots are maxed out,so I don't even know what to do with all the space+++ I really don't got the patience for S Class. Guy's believe me when I tell you that it will take a loooooooooooooong time for S Class. Be happy with A Class!!!😘😘😘
I got an s class freighter almost right away, I must've been lucky lol..
Same, I only spent 4 hours on mine, was v excited, although it is kinda ugly for an S class LOL
I personally go with appearance over class for my freighters.
@@lololollololol629 Sure you are Buddy. Congrats
Thank you for explaining how to get nanites
Mistakes create experiences within the game. Refining and min/maxing your first playthrough of the game is the only bad mistake
I would like to point out that accepting a payment for rescuing the first freighter, invalidates the "free" freighter next time you rescue one. You must "DECLINE" if you want to choose a free freighter at a later date.
One is totally: having a Typo when you rename a planet/starsystem^^
Already happend to me twice
Happens to the best of us 😂
I was one of the insanely lucky ones. I got a free S class freighter the first time.😂
"All you need to do is have an exocraft". Well. That's a problem, as a relative newbie (who I take it this video is for) I haven't figured out how to get that yet 🙃
Some tips are useful though, thanks.
Don’t play drunk and accidentally sell your S class exotic. You can thank me later. 👍
Speaking from experience I take it? 😂
@@BunkzGaming They seem nice but don’t party with the Korvax. The Nip Nip juice is off the charts!
RE:Hyperdrive Modules: At the beginning of the game, a beginner player is probably going to be hurting for nanites. Hyperdrive Upgrades are the *LAST* thing I would be spending nanites on. Spend your nanites on these, in this order:
1). Exosuit Movement System (jetpack/sprint)
2). Scanner (+credits from scanning things)
3). A multitool weapon of your choice
4). Life Support / Hazard Protection
5). Everything else
The Movement System I place first, because, well, you run out of sprint way too fast at the beginning of the game and it takes forever to do anything when you have to stop and catch your breath every 50 feet and your jetpack only lasts 5 seconds. Once you install 3 S-Class movement system upgrades, you'll be sprinting longer, and jet packing way higher, making movement much better.
As for the scanner upgrades, 3 S-Class Scanner Upgrades makes you go from getting 1,600 for a rare creature to getting 300,000+. It's insanely ridiculous, and after a couple planets of just scanning random critters, trees, and rocks, you can buy any ship or tool you want.
Great vid brother, new to NMS and your vids are making the game way smoother
Awesome, glad you find them useful ☺️
For casual difficulty players, you dont need to worry about most of these tips, the game will be easy and forgiving, you WILL be able to take on the toughest combat situations pretty much with a vanilla starter ship. and thats the toughest aspect of the game
I really want multiplayer freighter meetups, with a Helldivers above-planet idea in mind.
for me it was deleting harmonic brain, i cancelled the mission and it didnt work i went and found another ship, went up to it, and it still had everything missing and still looking for that harmonic brain. i did it again, cancelling the mission, then saved and reloaded and finally it worked, and the next ship had the stuff in it and i was able to continue.
LMAO at the first one uhhh... That would be why I'm here 😅 I lucked upon a salvageable A class shuttle and put decent time into upgrading it's kit, took some missions, I fought and won against my first sentinel dreadnaught and got an interceptor all without encountering the "free freighter" stuff because I haven't done the main quests LOL I guess I'll get on that just so I can learn a bit more organically about the nms's game systems
7:14 i have a better tip for getting around. Go find a planet with the droid dogs and adopt one. They are uber quick.
I ran out of liftoff thruster fuel, was stuck around sentinal drones and my multitool was stuck on terrain manipulation mode while i still had no way to do damage to the drones. Now, when i try getting back in the game crashes
I'm in one of my outposts, and BAM! I'm dead. Back to that house, and 5 min later BAM! I'm dead.
Carefully checking what weapon I have mounted, etc.
Turns out that RIGHT-CLICK was firing my "Geology Cannon" (even tho it was my MINING TOOL that was mounted), in the house. 1-shot, I was dead.
I hadn't realized I was accidently fat-fingering the RIGHT-CLICK.
Second lesson, the "saves" are USELESS. Two of them were being created in virtually the same moment, and that's all there are.
Final lesson (I played a lot of Valheim, so I had different expectations)... the "grave" DISAPPEARS when you die a 2nd time. In other words, it's USELESS if your grave is parked next to something you are just discovering, that killed you, and you haven't figured out yet how to survive.
Definitely haven't noticed the geology cannon thing as I'm a console player but that's annoying 😂
Just get a S class for everything except for frigates you can like level them up by just doing expeditions and its free and auto.
I got an S Class freighter, first try
R&T resizes terrain manipulator. I havn't done any of these things following the mission.🤯
Now I always take the first freighter I get, no matter what it is.
The utility of a moving storage at the beginning is massive, while your exo and ship inventory are likely pretty small.
Might seem a lot to buy an S-class freighter straight up later, but it’s just a few scrapped ships to accumulate the funds.
6:50 thx that's a nice tip
S-Class exotic Hierford planet 4,3,2,5,1,3,10,1,1,1,6,5. Zugawa Orbith under water -7.72 -132.25
My first free freighter I unfortunately accepted, though at least it was an A class.
Ive been rejecting the first freighter which is good but I havent been accepting payments! Somehow i thought that was similar to accepting the ship its self and would make it no longer free in the future. Ive probably missed out on 6 or more payments i could have accepted.
5:25 - this is a serious mistake. If you upload them one by one you can't upload all fauna records at once for a MUCH bigger nanite bonus. Only do that if you've completely given up on finding all animals on that planet.
Can someone please explain the "changing galaxy will destroy your stuff" part? I didn't understand.
There are no mistakes, everything is an adventure!
Your Avatar doesnt skip leg day 😂
Thanks for this Your the goat man. Protect this man at all cost
I was thinking about playing the PS5 version but not really impressed with the graphics from watching videos… just seems like if you played it on a 4K setup it would be much better.
Hi great video. Whats up with your jetpack?!? That looks really cool! Where did you get it?
It's the reward for an expedition, I think it was the exobiology one. If they ever replay them you'll get a chance to get it 😊
Just started playing 😅 I’m a lil overwhelmed but excited!! Def need some OG’s to play with tho lol
i also share yours video hopely you will get more people to watch you !
Awesome video for a newb like me at 130 hours.
Yaaaaaaay i turned it into 3k likes 😊 anyway, Great and very informative. Love it. Just found a new favorite game 😁
9:20 huh? Your stuff breaks in higher galaxies? I have no idea what you are aiming at with this tip. I need to switch ship and tool, before entering a new system or else it breaks?
@@Khakzoy it doesn't break in higher galaxies, it's breaks warping to a new galaxy so yeah, switch it up before warping 😊
@@BunkzGaming 😊 thx for clearing it up. Will do!
New player here. Still doing the awakening missions. When do you get a freighter? Any help would be appreciated.
This typically happens automatically after 5 jumps. You will stumble into a freighter under attack in which you will need to destroy the pirates in order to be hailed by the Admiral and offered command of the freighter as your reward
As BlueBoxRevan said, the 5 jumps but I also think you need to have played 3 hours in game as well to come across that space battle
I rejected the first freighter, do you know roughly when you get pffered the other freighter for free?
love your no man sky videos bro these are awesome
Awesome! Glad you enjoy them 😄
Why are paradise/lush planets special? The system I spawned in has 2, got my base set up there and I don't notice anything special other than not being killed faster, although only 1 of the 4 planets in that system is killing me faster (1 in 5 if counting a moon)
My first fist frigate was an S class
70 hours in, I still feel like a complete newbie😢
Another nanite trick i can give you is cook meat stew and give it to the fat guy on the anomoly in the back easy thousands off nanites from simole meat stew that can be made several ways from mordite or parts of flesh of animals
Not many mistakes that y cannot redo or pickup .. what i like with this game
Best game of all time, bar none. Something for everyone in this one
Is there a way to turn off quest notifications when I just want to explore?
I don't know why this works, but you can fill back in the hole you made when mining and re-mine that deposit.
@@_fire_fox_1152 oh really? That's news to me, might have to try it!
I found this out yesterday and it's super useful. I usually refill my holes for Salvage Data or other buried goodies and did this on an ore deposit and it does refill it!!
My biggest mistake was thinking It'd run on a 2 year old £400 laptop
My first freighter was s-class 😂
i used to play back in 2020 on my xbox, couldn’t get the save file data over to my PC unfortunately. Because of this i have to start over completely. i used to have a second back pack and i’ve noticed other people have new ones. QUESTION: which back packs are currently available to me to obtain starting in October 2023?
Damn that sucks, I can't imagine losing my expedition rewards, i'll be furious
You won't be able to get the one I use most often as it's an expedition reward, though they could replay it. The rest you should be able to get
@@-Saitama yeah i am lmao it hurts more and more when i see how much they’ve added too
@@BunkzGaming thank you sir
you weren't using the "upload all discoveries" button
I know, more showing what does get uploaded though I did mention the upload all button
@@BunkzGaming oh i missed the part where you mentioned it, maybe I was typing my comment lol
@@Claytron830000000000 Came to the comments to say the same thing - turns out it was mentioned but not shown
they make the terrain manipulator like that so everyone doesnt beat their game with absolutely no effort . take the time to play right, get rewarded.
although you can change the settings. ruin the game for yourself lol. the whole exploration/resource farming, IS no mans sky
8:40 are you what............
11:06 Radar Power Resonator?
3:30 Does not seem relevant to what is being said.
My friend got stuck in a pipe
I shot a robot on Paradise....
I think the game would have been less boring if it obliged players to have a C class freighter for free.
I am getting everything for free and not being charged at all 😂
I live mining in VR
IE what the game doesn't tell you (a lot)
But but but it's just one long tutorial from start to finish! /S
I love that the game helps you to survive and grow, but doesn't actually tell you everything.
Why are all these beginners tips videos saying the exact same tips
sorry mate, it's a little hard to understand your accent
There’s no story.
There is... Sort of. But the game doesn't need a story, that's not the point of it
my 1st mistake,dont watch guide or trick in youtube.
Got the game. Logged in to find it looks like shit. First objective is to collect rocks for 10 minutes. Logged out. Unistalled game.
Yeeeeaaaahh, these are just basic common sense things to do for the most part. I don’t know anyone that plays and doesn’t collect resources, that’s like half the game. Seems like you didn’t really have a topic so you just put a bunch of random basic info together to make a video. 😢
I bought the game. Played a little and thought 'this game sucks'. That was my #1 mistake. I waited a few months and started playing it during the Singularity expedition. What a great game. I love how you can play this game any way you want.
That filthy pleasure of stuffing imaginary cabinets with imaginary goods... Like winning a jackpot a second before waking up
