Last tip : Have fun and enjoy the game at your own pace. I play this game after a 12 hour work day , and it’s amazing. Finally came back after waiting 8 years.
Sound advice. Longtime player here. Further on the Terrain Modifier - if you are under heavy attack, a good move is to use the TM to dig a tunnel and then jump in. Whatever you are fighting will not be able to follow you in and, at worst, will just hang around the entry. Heal up, recharge everything., then either go out and face whatever it is, OR tunnel elsewhere.
Good tip for nanites. Setup a base next to runaway mould spawns. Teleport in and check it often. The mould will respawn every so often and can be refined into nanites.
@@ConCon yes unusual deposits. They are literally giant balls of mould that roll away when shot with the mining laser. You can get loads of mould destroying them. They are yellow icons so quite rare like the nav data and other icons, set up shop near one with a refinery and a teleporter. 😉
@@stepheng618 I think they scan as Curious Deposits with a two star yellow icon. Can often generate around 5000+ Runaway Mould per site (that's 1 Nanite per 5 Mould).
For the Atlas Pass, get the recipe for the V3 Atlas Pass and craft one of those. The V3 pass includes the V1 and V2 passes as well and you only need 1 in your inventory.
@@powerpc6037 I also want to add only lvl 1 pass is actually helpful. Lvl 2 and 3 lead to restricted areas on space stations which always contain only junk, might as well not rush making one
@@Soundwave1900 Yes, I don't think that they have altered the loot tables for lvl 2 and higher passes at all. Most of the stuff I get with a lvl 2 is just addt'l normal things and haven't run into a lvl 3 area yet.
@@dkindig I believe lvl 3 areas actually got deleted from the game when they updated space stations xD So there's just no use for lvl 3 keycard anymore
If you place the upgrades (for anything - starship, multi-tool, suit) together - they get a minor improvement. You'll see this, when they become outline with a color. So that's actually the reason the scanner modules are outline yellow in tip 11 "supercharged slots"
Additional tip: If you want to switch to another type of multitool (eg. you get a rifle) keep your old one for mining. Pistol multitools do less damage than other types, but provide more resources when mining. eg. I found an A-class rifle, and my original pistol gets me 20% more resources when mining. You can switch between them via the quick menu (under "Utilities" - the cogwheel).
A couple tips: you can buy suspicious modules from outlaw/pirate stations. And if you want to smuggle and avoid being caught, buy from outlaw stations, warp to a base or your settlement (hopefully in a wealthy system) and then warp to the space station.
Awesome video. I really liked that this was a video with actual, helpful tips. Most videos just show how to take advantage of game mechanics. I enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more.
Ok, watch this on my TV and a lot of very good advice, but I think you missed one really big one. Each time you visit a new system, goto Space Station (SS), then goto the mission counter, do not do the missions yet, collect ALL MISSIONS for : culling criters, sentenals and feeding critters. The game allows you to STACK those missions and stack away. As you get more shields, weapons ect then find: 1. A planet with hostile sentinels and plant a base computer, 2 find a planet with hurds of critters, big groups, plant a base there. Great if you can find in the same system. Keep stacking all those until you are confy and go on a culling spree. You will level up so fast!!!!! Thought that was an important one for newbees to know
Thank you so very much. I am also new with only 80 hours and it never once ding-donged in my obliviously empty skull that I could add more exosuit tech slots as well as the cargo slots at the same place! Never even came close to crossing my mind. Like I said, big empty galaxy between the ears, lol. Thanks!
Dude, thank you so much for sharing this. This game benefits from videos like this. But I’ve learned to avoid them mostly because they get into spoilers. But everything you had to cover here it was very helpful and you didn’t get into the store or anything like that at all, so this was perfect. Thank you!
Another tip for nanites is to scan all fauna on a planet. You'll get a good chunk of nanites from the discoveries menu (up to 3000 for a planet with a large amount of fauna). Combine that with the scanner upgrade, you're gonna be rolling in dough and nanites pretty quick.
@@carlgarland4175 no.. you get units when you scan A single new creature type.. if you get ALL of the creatures on a planet you get nanites.. you have to go to discoveries and check the list for the planet, at the top it either says "you have xx of xx Fauna scanned" or it says you got them all, click here to collect x,xxx nanites.. the more different species on the planet the more you get.
@@carlgarland4175 They are talking about the discoveries menu. You scan everything on the planet and receive units with your scans, then go to the discovery menu and upload your discoveries for nanites
@@carlgarland4175 If you get all the fauna on a planet scanned you can go into Discoveries for the planet, click on Fauna then get a Nanite boost for completion of the set. Units for each animal, nanites are a bonus for completion
Here’s my tip from me a player who’s been here since game launch: Dont worry about the base the game makes you build for the tutorial. Just get 4 walls and the other few items to complete the quest. Then go find a GOOD planet to build a real base at . You can even delete the quest base right after u build it
Some additional info regarding race-specific gifts to NPC's: there is an approval rating for each of the races and as your approval improves, you start to get discounts from that race's merchants. Once you reach a 100 rating you will max out at a 50% discount from that race's vendors. Once you get more mid-level and can part with assets, you can start donating extra inventory to the trade guilds (merchants, mercenaries, and explorers). As your rep grows in the guilds you get more and more free stuff, and maxed out you get TONS of free expansion modules for freighters, spaceships, exosuits and multitools.
I was really hyped for it when it initially launched! bought the ultimate edition, which had a bug so you couldn't get off the first planet, took 3 days before the news about the bug reached me. Then spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to activate the portals that also were broken. All it took was for hello games to put out one tweet stating what didn't work, but they said nothing what for me was a much worse experience than the thing not working. Left such a bad taste with me that I never wanted too touch it again. However you kinda convinced me to get back at it!
Thanks for the video - I'm a new player (just started this past weekend) and you answered two questions for me. I had managed to find the Teleport Receiver for sale on a Gek world, but didn't realize the range was just 150u. Thanks for that clarification. The other was the AtlassPass. It makes sense it stays in your inventory as the crafting materials are a bit pricey to be consumed each use (not the Cu - but the blasted CPU).
2 notes here: 1.The product range of the upgrade vendors is not "random" btw. They will offer the same upgrades in the current system. If a vendor has for example an S-class hyperdrive upgrade, it will always be S-class in that system 2. If you follow the tutorial/quests, you'll unlock a lot of stuff basically for free. That'll save you a lot of nanites or other resources...
@@wingwing8559 It's hard to tell exactly. It's also been a long time for me, I'm playing since day one... I'd recommend to do them as they come along, but you don't have to. Just find your own pace. Note that some quests will only appear after you've reached certain milestones.
For the Exosuit upgrade, I like to go to the cartographer in the space station and by like 20 drop pods coordinates. It is relatively cheap and quite fast as you can just warp there. That way, I can farm all of them and visit new planets without spending lots of units or warping (which some times is very repetitive). I also find it faster that way since you can find several in the same planet.
Another tip to farm nanites. Youll find runaway mould on planets marked as curious deposit. Mine them. Depending on the number you find, you can get 3-4 slots of 9999 runaway mould. Then refine them. It takes a while to refine it all, but definitely the best way to find nanits. And put down a base there. Warp out, warp back in and the mould spawns again. Instant refill 😂
Tip for the inventory: Navigation Data and the cartographer in the space station are the best option for new players, you trade Navigation Data for specific maps and detect crashed upgrades for expanding the inventory, you need to fix them , in 3 hours i had unlocked all slots in the exosuit
Platinum and pungeum can be refined into nanites. You can also get nanites by trading upgrade modules that you don’t need at space stations. Kill sentinels, pick up the canisters that they drop. Sentinel glass shards often contain upgrade modules when broken down.
I find killing sentinels and selling the modules you get a pretty good way to get nanites. Just find a random structure and aggro the sentinels, then chip away at them while hiding inside the structure
Here's the best tip. Start a new save with expeditions IF you have already completed the tutorial of the game or know how to play, starting a new save with an Expedition skips the tutorial and gives you a set of objectives. The current expedition (expedition 14) requires you to jump across systems and elliminate an invasive species among other things. Its basicly a set of missions that are really easy to complete and gives you a lot of rewards that skyrocket your progress. If you want to skip the earlygame almost entirely, expeditions are your best friends, they are not always available they are time limited events that are up for a month or two but new ones release regularly. the missions arent hard at all either, like for example from the current expedition there is, walk 1400 units in storms, kill 50 sentinels (Sentinels are total pushovers even in the early game), hit 4 targets with one bomb, kill 50 hostiles inside the gorilla exosuit (wich the current expedition gives for free with upgrades as a reward of another mission.) etc. etc.
if you start a normal (or custom.. just NOT expedition) game the story gives you a LOT of blueprints for FREE, no spending nanites or even data to unlock stuff.. some have said you get just about everything, but i haven't got that far, because i started the expedition before i finished the story / mission line, which i somewhat regret and now started over, and will wait till the last community step is almost done and do it again with my new character. important tip, if someone offers you a free freighter, just say no... to the first one. you get better offers after.. (unless there is some weird glitch and the first one offered is an S class freighter)
@@briwanderz yes, you can unlock a fair bit by doing some of the side quests. You can easily save yourself over a hundred salvaged data and a couple thousand nanites this way.
Take Notes, like for real on a bit of paper, write down priorities, take note of Portal Glyphs, stick a base computer down. Do whatever you like, but always do the main quests. It can overwhelm some who are used to being pointed in a direction all the time. Cut Loose, have some strange times with a Pet or just build a beautiful base. Good Vid
thanks man just got no man sky yesterday 2.4 hours in and this would have been a major help i got spawned on a high radiation planet almost died in a storm only lived because i found a cave managed to get my ship fixed and made my way to a paradise world in system where i saved.
They refine in this order: Residual Goop > Viscous Fluid > Living Slime > Runaway Mould (all at 1:1). Then refine Runaway Mould to Nanites at 5:1. You can get a lot of this stuff from Damaged Machinery or the consoles from Abandoned Buildings.
@10:23 i would of also mentioned to use the terrain manipulator because there is always a buried module around the area as well you can even see it marked on your screen in the video!
👍 I enjoyed your 'introduction' video for new players. Simple, clear, and easy to follow. I just bought this game yesterday and already played 6 hours or so. It was a rough start as im not a skilled gamer, but the game held my curiosity enough to keep me engaged. I'll have to bookmark this video and refer to it. I probably should keep a notebook of tips handy too. I simply cannot remember all the tasks, inventory, what does what, etc
@G22865 I actually ended up removing it from my console a couple days ago. It's simply too complicated for me and a bit disorienting. It really bothered my eyes. It's a shame because it looks great, but I just couldn't get a grip of all the details, requirements, missions, etc. I'm a Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed player. They're easy for me to follow. No Man's Sky is beyond my capabilities.
@@tike2006 thanks for the honesty. My eyes struggle when there's lots of menus and things to read. Like you I want to pick up and play rather than have to study things to learn. I just did that with Elden Ring and dont wanna go through that again. I wanted No mans sky cus it reminded me of breath of the wild but if the exploration isn't the same I think I'll give it a miss especially if you're into mass effect but can't get into this.... I'm going to wait for reviews of light no fire and towers of Aghasba to get My botw fix Thanks
Wow! That's a really good guide. Full of helpful content and presented in a very easy to follow way. Thanks a lot. This will really help me out! Many greetings from Germany! *like*
you should try construct legs and chest with the chitin armour, geometric cape, and broodmother maw its my fav customisation and the atlas staff looks really good with it
BIG TIP: Keep all upgrades of the same type next to one another for a bonus to their effectiveness. For example, all scanner modules should make a square shape so they're touching each other.
Holy shit. Hooooly shit. This was so very helpful. Each one of these things are news to me save for the npc language skill. One minor correction on that front - the "Visited" designation only means the npc has been spoken to, so I've run into dumb noob moments where I forgot to learn the language and nearly overlooked npcs because I'd previously spoken to them and given them a gift or just left the conversation without interacting. Anywho tysm this video seems almost tailor made for my level of experience with the game, so target audience reached!
So if you have trouble getting money early on or you just don't want to spend all of it up on wiring looms, do the Nexus mission in the anomaly, that rewards you with 15 looms.
Tip from a console player, use keyboard and mouse on foot and gamepad for exocraft and ship. Gamepad has everything at your fingertips, and kB&m on foot gives you much finer control for combat, scanning and stuff like that
Id like to see a player guild/alliance feature. Make the capital ships, frigets and fighters piloted by players and have alliance space battles and co-op events. Have guild/ alliance stations etc... I think that would be neat. I'd also like a player driven economy.
Your video was super helpful. me as a newbie was so flabbergasted on how big the game is and i was so confused on what to do. One question though, do i have to do certain quest to get ships and cosmetics like yours or do i find them randomly?
You can find them randomly, some are rare and can be found on only certain systems. You can also build your own with parts of ships that you have disassembled
Also, stack relevant upgrade modules next to esch other, for increased efficiency. For example if you have a bolt caster, stack the upgrades so that they touch, whether vertically or horizontally. The borders around each upgrade module will then be highlighted. That’s how you know you connected them successfully. Do this with your equipment.
Awe - was just watching in and thought the accent sounded familiar. Then realised you’re a real boet when I heard you say Rand instead of units for one part 8:14
Hi I just started playing and I have a tip. The sentinels will attack you if you take items from relic sites. It took me an hour of trying to find out how make them leave me alone (there was no countdown timer or anything). Turns out it was bugged and I had to leave the game and come back. Normally you hide or leave the area, but if you leave atmosphere then it gives you a SPACE wanted level and you have to fight off aircraft (gota go to a space station to make them stop from what I hear).
What a helpful video. Wow, how many resources did I waste? Purple items? Who would have thought recycling slime can get you nanites? My god, I love this game but being new to it there is so much to learn but that is part of the fun. Still, I missed out on a lot, oh well. LOL
So when it comes to scanner modules etc if they are not a class do we not buy them period and just go without? Like I plan to stay in one system for a long time grinding the planet so idk when I’ll see another if the one at my station doesn’t have a class modules
Tip Number 47: don't hold down the Starship weapons, you can tap the shoot button and they will never get heated, and you will not run the risk of cool down. 😂
I kept not using the scanner module telling myself that 11,461% wasn't worth the space. Imagine the look on my face when he read it out loud that it was 11 THOUSAND and I realized that 11,461 was the American notation and it wasn't the same as 11.461.....
Questions How do you get the other vehicles? i see options for them but never found one. When I get the option to save a multi tool for my collection, where is it? How do you go about creating a new ship? This game assumes a lot out of me For reference, I'm at the locate atlas star ship quest and have located 4-5 of them I feel the game expects you to know and I don't lol
Not a new player, but haven't played for 4 years, so there's probably a lot I could learn I just hope I can still become a millionaire by turning animal poop into delecious expensive stew
Knowledge stones are MUCH faster than dialog unless the language is your main focus. Just gather words from stones while doing everything else, and you'll waste less total time
Ive been scanning everything but have never gotten 300k for anything even rare creatures. What mode are you playing on and does that make a difference in any way as ive only been playing for a week.
I couldn’t find this online. I am playing on a Mac. So, it’s PC controls. I have this yellow orange grid box where a Copper deposit was. How do I get these grid boxes to go away?
I just started playing the game and idk what it was that I randomly picked up but I went to the space station to sell it and it gave me 300 million units and idk what to do with all of it😂
I just began this game and it seems I've hit a glitch roadblock that can't be undone. I progressed the storyline to the anamoly and I am to meet Helios to give him a data pack or something, but nothing I do in the game triggers the option to give him the data pack. So I am stuck just exploring, and quite honestly, losing interest in playing the game further.
HELP: Hi there, i need advice. I haven’t played this game since 7/22, back when they were wiping out peoples mods and ships. If i reload the game now with all the new updates, will i still loose everything or has it all been fixed to a significant degree

If you want to skip the earlygame almost entirely, expeditions are your best friends, they are not always available they are time limited events that are up for a month or two but new ones release regularly. the missions arent hard at all either, like for example from the current expedition there is, walk 1400 units in storms, kill 50 sentinels (Sentinels are total pushovers even in the early game), hit 4 targets with one bomb, kill 50 hostiles inside the gorilla exosuit (wich the current expedition gives for free with upgrades as a reward of another mission.) etc. etc.
if you start a normal (or custom.. just NOT expedition) game the story gives you a LOT of blueprints for FREE, no spending nanites or even data to unlock stuff.. some have said you get just about everything, but i haven't got that far, because i started the expedition before i finished the story / mission line, which i somewhat regret and now started over, and will wait till the last community step is almost done and do it again with my new character.
important tip, if someone offers you a free freighter, just say no... to the first one. you get better offers after.. (unless there is some weird glitch and the first one offered is an S class freighter)
@@briwanderz yes, you can unlock a fair bit by doing some of the side quests. You can easily save yourself over a hundred salvaged data and a couple thousand nanites this way.
I love helpful videos. You got my sub at "till he marries yo ssa" 😂😂😂😂 4:34
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it!
Take Notes, like for real on a bit of paper, write down priorities, take note of Portal Glyphs, stick a base computer down.
Do whatever you like, but always do the main quests.
It can overwhelm some who are used to being pointed in a direction all the time.
Cut Loose, have some strange times with a Pet or just build a beautiful base.
Good Vid
Good tip 💯
Solidly useful guide, thanks! Really well explained - I’m only a few hours in so this was really helpful.
thanks man just got no man sky yesterday 2.4 hours in and this would have been a major help i got spawned on a high radiation planet almost died in a storm only lived because i found a cave managed to get my ship fixed and made my way to a paradise world in system where i saved.
Super helpful
I started a second game due to getting a little lost in what to do
Very helpful list of tips! Thank you very much. Just started playing the game yesterday🎉
Another Tip : Save those slime that you find early on for late game. Can be refined for nanites or fuel for Sentinel ships via pugneum.
They refine in this order: Residual Goop > Viscous Fluid > Living Slime > Runaway Mould (all at 1:1). Then refine Runaway Mould to Nanites at 5:1. You can get a lot of this stuff from Damaged Machinery or the consoles from Abandoned Buildings.
That was really helpfull. Thanks mate
Thank you so much Sir.
This video helped me so so much.!
S latter is awesome. Thanks
@10:23 i would of also mentioned to use the terrain manipulator because there is always a buried module around the area as well you can even see it marked on your screen in the video!
👍 I enjoyed your 'introduction' video for new players. Simple, clear, and easy to follow. I just bought this game yesterday and already played 6 hours or so. It was a rough start as im not a skilled gamer, but the game held my curiosity enough to keep me engaged. I'll have to bookmark this video and refer to it. I probably should keep a notebook of tips handy too. I simply cannot remember all the tasks, inventory, what does what, etc
I'm interested in buying but this video put me off. Seems like there's too much to learn. I hate menus. Is this game a no go for a casual gamer?
@G22865 I actually ended up removing it from my console a couple days ago. It's simply too complicated for me and a bit disorienting. It really bothered my eyes. It's a shame because it looks great, but I just couldn't get a grip of all the details, requirements, missions, etc. I'm a Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed player. They're easy for me to follow. No Man's Sky is beyond my capabilities.
@@tike2006 thanks for the honesty. My eyes struggle when there's lots of menus and things to read. Like you I want to pick up and play rather than have to study things to learn. I just did that with Elden Ring and dont wanna go through that again. I wanted No mans sky cus it reminded me of breath of the wild but if the exploration isn't the same I think I'll give it a miss especially if you're into mass effect but can't get into this.... I'm going to wait for reviews of light no fire and towers of Aghasba to get My botw fix
Thanks
This was super helpful. Cheers bud!
You're welcome! Enjoy the game!
Thank you, this helped! I needed this 10 game hours ago 🤣
Wow! That's a really good guide. Full of helpful content and presented in a very easy to follow way. Thanks a lot. This will really help me out! Many greetings from Germany! *like*
You're very welcome!
you should try construct legs and chest with the chitin armour, geometric cape, and broodmother maw its my fav customisation and the atlas staff looks really good with it
Nice video it helped me a lot! I started 2 weeks ago and i was always thinking that i was missing something and i figured out the issues thankyou!
BIG TIP: Keep all upgrades of the same type next to one another for a bonus to their effectiveness.
For example, all scanner modules should make a square shape so they're touching each other.
Sounds like Colin Robinson from What We Do In The Shadows is playing NMS. My favorite character from the TV series😊
Holy shit. Hooooly shit. This was so very helpful. Each one of these things are news to me save for the npc language skill. One minor correction on that front - the "Visited" designation only means the npc has been spoken to, so I've run into dumb noob moments where I forgot to learn the language and nearly overlooked npcs because I'd previously spoken to them and given them a gift or just left the conversation without interacting. Anywho tysm this video seems almost tailor made for my level of experience with the game, so target audience reached!
So if you have trouble getting money early on or you just don't want to spend all of it up on wiring looms, do the Nexus mission in the anomaly, that rewards you with 15 looms.
Tip from a console player, use keyboard and mouse on foot and gamepad for exocraft and ship. Gamepad has everything at your fingertips, and kB&m on foot gives you much finer control for combat, scanning and stuff like that
Id like to see a player guild/alliance feature. Make the capital ships, frigets and fighters piloted by players and have alliance space battles and co-op events. Have guild/ alliance stations etc... I think that would be neat. I'd also like a player driven economy.
200 hours in and I still learned stuff. Thanks man 😂
Your video was super helpful. me as a newbie was so flabbergasted on how big the game is and i was so confused on what to do. One question though, do i have to do certain quest to get ships and cosmetics like yours or do i find them randomly?
You can find them randomly, some are rare and can be found on only certain systems. You can also build your own with parts of ships that you have disassembled
Also, stack relevant upgrade modules next to esch other, for increased efficiency. For example if you have a bolt caster, stack the upgrades so that they touch, whether vertically or horizontally. The borders around each upgrade module will then be highlighted. That’s how you know you connected them successfully. Do this with your equipment.
10:50 I've been selling my junk this whole time!! I had no idea you could make it into nanites what the heck
Awe - was just watching in and thought the accent sounded familiar. Then realised you’re a real boet when I heard you say Rand instead of units for one part 8:14
Brilliant, informative video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi I just started playing and I have a tip. The sentinels will attack you if you take items from relic sites. It took me an hour of trying to find out how make them leave me alone (there was no countdown timer or anything). Turns out it was bugged and I had to leave the game and come back. Normally you hide or leave the area, but if you leave atmosphere then it gives you a SPACE wanted level and you have to fight off aircraft (gota go to a space station to make them stop from what I hear).
I have waited for the day you upload a NMS video
Hahaha hope you enjoy it then
New player here. How do you get that style of exosuit that your character is wearing in the video?
What a helpful video. Wow, how many resources did I waste? Purple items? Who would have thought recycling slime can get you nanites? My god, I love this game but being new to it there is so much to learn but that is part of the fun. Still, I missed out on a lot, oh well. LOL
Thank you! Awesome vid
If you speak to the NPCs again you can practice their language and you can get gifts and status upgrades
It's just my first day but I learned that too. Talk to them at least twice.
Thank you. Very helpful.
This is great. Thankyou!
So when it comes to scanner modules etc if they are not a class do we not buy them period and just go without? Like I plan to stay in one system for a long time grinding the planet so idk when I’ll see another if the one at my station doesn’t have a class modules
Tip Number 47: don't hold down the Starship weapons, you can tap the shoot button and they will never get heated, and you will not run the risk of cool down. 😂
I kept not using the scanner module telling myself that 11,461% wasn't worth the space. Imagine the look on my face when he read it out loud that it was 11 THOUSAND and I realized that 11,461 was the American notation and it wasn't the same as 11.461.....
Great guide thanks
Hi thanks for the video i started NMS for the first time a week ago how do i get the supercharger slots for my weapon?
Awesome video. Really useful
Thanks for the great video!
I had a languagebug with the gek xD spended 1 1/2 hour talking to the same guy and he told me everything
Thanks man I’m a noob at this game for some reason
Very helpful 👍🏼
Questions
How do you get the other vehicles? i see options for them but never found one.
When I get the option to save a multi tool for my collection, where is it?
How do you go about creating a new ship?
This game assumes a lot out of me
For reference, I'm at the locate atlas star ship quest and have located 4-5 of them
I feel the game expects you to know and I don't lol
Not a new player, but haven't played for 4 years, so there's probably a lot I could learn
I just hope I can still become a millionaire by turning animal poop into delecious expensive stew
Best tip is to make your only object at the start to get the advanced mining laser
Im back i haven’t played since outlaws and solar ships dropped. Im pumped to jump back in i forgot alot lol
My nanite hustle. Kill a bunch of sentinels. Extract the items and sell any upgrades I get. I'm swimming in nanites now!!
Knowledge stones are MUCH faster than dialog unless the language is your main focus. Just gather words from stones while doing everything else, and you'll waste less total time
Ive been scanning everything but have never gotten 300k for anything even rare creatures. What mode are you playing on and does that make a difference in any way as ive only been playing for a week.
I couldn’t find this online. I am playing on a Mac. So, it’s PC controls. I have this yellow orange grid box where a Copper deposit was. How do I get these grid boxes to go away?
I just started playing the game and idk what it was that I randomly picked up but I went to the space station to sell it and it gave me 300 million units and idk what to do with all of it😂
Huge help
I just began this game and it seems I've hit a glitch roadblock that can't be undone. I progressed the storyline to the anamoly and I am to meet Helios to give him a data pack or something, but nothing I do in the game triggers the option to give him the data pack. So I am stuck just exploring, and quite honestly, losing interest in playing the game further.
THIS GAME IS HUGE!!
HELP: Hi there, i need advice. I haven’t played this game since 7/22, back when they were wiping out peoples mods and ships. If i reload the game now with all the new updates, will i still loose everything or has it all been fixed to a significant degree
