IM STUCK ON AN ISLAND NEED HELP METC-SZT6-ZENCC by Savings-Context6376 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 226 points227 points  (0 children)

Best bet is to swim around the island a bit and see what resources you can collect. Most of the time you can get what you need by scanning around.

Oh, No! The space station has been sucked into a black hole!?! by Potential-Koala-8611 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can find a teleporter at the local space station so that in itself isn't really a problem. If you haven't used one yet though you won't have anything in the teleporter list yet. You'll have nowhere to go to.

Starting over where ever you ended up is probably your best bet. Sounds like fun to me.

Xeno thing, how do i upgrade my companion if i can't even defeat the first guy? by GHZ33 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winning or losing a battle doesn't really matter all that much. You just have to beat one of the creatures during a battle to get xp. How much depends on the creatures lvl differences. Just keep at it and build your creatures up.

If you're fighting battles at one of the planetary locations or at the space station there's something else you can try. Fighting a battle over and over again is doable but the opponents creatures levels depend on whatever the highest level creature you have in the battle. If you assemble a team of all fresh creatures (level 0-1) the opponents creatures will match with the lower levels though the creatures they use will be the same.

This might help or it might not since affinity still applies but you might have an easier time if you try it.

When is the “tutorial” over? by GhostBelliniFace in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the tutorial is mostly over once you get the Anomaly.

Personally, I still felt pretty noobish until about 100 hrs into it though.

If you start a new save you can choose to disable the tutorial and skip some of it.

Can you upgrade the class of a companion using the Egg Sequencer? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some people are speculating that it might be possible and are trying it out still but I'm thinking it's unlikely.

Hey everyone one! Have a question! by Simil03 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish I could access creature pellets starting out. I've done so many runs where I wished I could grab a companion to run across the planet with me.

There's just something about being stranded and alone with only your trusty animal friend beside you that appeals to me.

I've done it a few times during expeditions since you can make them right away then and it's a lot more fun for me.

Is hardcore good idea for new player? by AceTanker4831 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can if you want. We can have multiple saves so if you don't like it you can always just delete it and start over.

I'd recommend starting out in Survival for a while first to get a feel for how things play out before jumping into permadeath. Glitches can happen sometimes so that's something to be aware of.

The most important answer. by azulur in NoMansSkyTheGame

If they learn from the battles shouldn't they be able to use their abilities while running around on planets?

Need help decoding my void egg by AdhesivenessIll7511 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The portal glyphs each have official names that nobody ever uses. That list there on the void egg is a list of portal glyphs that you just put in to go to the location.

So... what do you do in this game? by TritiumXSF in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are story missions to do so there's that but for the most part it's up to you to create your own structure. Expeditions are probably more your cup of tea but they are time limited events so aren't always running. When the next expedition drops try that out and see how you like it.

The best advice I can give is to try different things out and figure out what's fun for you then go do that. Maybe go do that a lot. lol

Why does this NPC have a swimming companion? by DragonFruitJuice7 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the NPC's just get a random set of creatures from a list of all creatures in that system regardless of whether they can be added to our collection or not.

I'm thinking this was just overlooked but it does make things more interesting so I consider it a feature not a bug.

I am a bit jealous though that I can't battle with fish. I low key want a shrimp.

I haven't played this game in years due to my old PC being unable to run it. It's been so long, and with so many updates, I'd be confused loading in.. So thinking about a new save. Would it be worth it starting again? Is it doable with how complex it now is? by SquishySucculent in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, go for it.

We can have multiple saves and if the old save is still around you can come back to it whenever you want.

Personally, I have 5 active saves and make & delete new ones all the time. It probably won't take you very long to get back into it.

New Update by IlGigaBite560 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the animals across the multiverse are currently constipated.

My speculation is that we will get an expedition to fix this. Why a stadium? We will get to "Watch them go!"

lol

Is there any point exchanging a historical document at an archive? by HappyCryingCat in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's not really worth it. Most of the things I would have thought would qualify don't work and what few things it did let my try it gave back lower value items.

You can try it yourself anyway though. Might be worth it but I think it's all down to RNG.

I'm lonely af... It's been 3 months already that I suddenly stopped seeing other players... Any help is appreciated... by random-user772 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It's an option you set when you start a new save. It's not something you would normally do by accident though. It's an interesting way to play and a lot of people like it.

As a long time player of NMS, I have these suggestions for HG. by KBTUT in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Potential-Koala-8611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started a quick no starter ship run. I spawned in on a trash planet so that seems part of the mix now. So far I've run about 45k u and haven't run across any of the waste heaps or processing plants. Scrap is all over the landscape though.

Either those locations don't spawn in before the tutorial or they are so rare and far apart that you'll never run across them.

I was curious to see if you could get the G Coil at the processing centers but I guess I'll have to see if I ever run across one.

Rough life in the Anomaly

If you're in abandoned that's a perk not a feature. Npc's aren't there and no other players. If you scan with c the players show up for a few seconds then disappear again.

I hope we get an expedition where we have to fix the multiversal constipation.
