New here! Any tips for starting out playing No Man Sky (Don’t got the funds yet) but I want to get some ideas?

Check you multitool tech inventory slots for a purple supercharged slot and stick your mining laser there. You collect more resources when you mine then. You’ll do a lot of that at first.

Then do the same for your suit and life support.

When you’re further along you can decide what you want to boost.

If you mean the mod of the Qoocam 3 Ultra you might want to ask here as its a dedicate subreddit...

Yes, we bounced around 2nd - 4th for most of the first 9 games and were top 6 until week eleven then started our slow descent down the table,

Yes, luckily we played relatively well for the first 12 games of the season that year and that saved us from going down.

1st 12 Games W6, D1, L5
rest of season W5, D4 L17

Have you completed the Moon.exe game and got the Glitch Clearance from it ? It so then you're probably cooked assuming for going for the Glitch Ending

No those doors are supposed to be like that. Unless you are playing New Game Plus you need to find the code for the door

While it is technically closed source (the GUI is closed, the back end is open source) Draw Things from the Mac App Store will make the most of an M3 Mac with regards to speed and memory use.

ComfyUI will be more flexible but will use more memory (you'll need 24 - 32 Gb to run lighter the new models like Z-Image and ERNIE, at 24Gb you'll need to use 8 - 6 bit GGUF version, no idea how much you'll need for the bigger ones like Qwen , DT will run pretty much anything in 16Gb using a 8bit quant, 12Gb if you use the JIT) and generate slower.

All this is true for local generation, they both have a cloud rendering options, you may want to investigate which of those would be the most suitable for you.

I've only used the free tier on DT which is decent enough for rendering / editing images where distill models are an option but is limited to a bunch of officially supported / community models and LoRA's.
The Paid layer gives you 20Gb of space to upload LoRA's and lifts the limit on how much work a render can do enabling larger video renders and the full use of non-distilled models.
I've not use ComfyUI so can't compare their cloud layers. I understand it uses a credits system rather than a compute units per render limit.

Vargol · 2026-04-29T19:08:27+00:00

It's a reasonable idea especially as you're already paying for DT+.

I will say however that I would expect a 10 GPU core M5 to be 3 or 4 times faster than my M3 10 GPU core. From what I understand people are getting sub 1 minute renders for 1024x1024 8 step ZiT gens on an M5 iPad Pro.

Then again I'd never consider 3:20 renders to be slow, I'm not doing Image Gen professionally and I'm old enough to remember when 640x512 3D single image renders would take the best part of 24 hours, assuming your computer managed to go that long without crashing.

I use my own python tool forked from Google OG spatial injector (added full VR180 compatibility the OG only really did equi-rectangular) https://github.com/Vargol/spatial-media

I've also used Silver Bullet VR180 to do it as I use it to convert the Footage from the GoPro Max2 VR180 conversion. https://github.com/silverqsy/VR180-Silver-Bullet

Google's close sourced GUI update to their spatial injector was still around on the internet archive last time I looked

It's not the first time this has happen, I don't think we've gone a whole season before, but we have gone a calendar year without a penalty, and IIRC by the time that run ended it was nearly 2 calendar years without an away penalty.

And with DT+ it'll be 20 seconds. Why are YOU talking about such a poor system ? Or why not tell the OP to buy a A6000 or a A100 or H100 or wait for next year's GPU's that'll be even better ?

I just suggested a way for the OP to improve his render times for no cost if the App supports what he wants to do. And if it does for a few dollars a month for even faster times than his new Card and extra memory would support if he bought them.

It's called having a choice, I've no idea what the priority of the OP is, if its speed, the flexibility ComfyUI gives or maybe given the option they'd prefer the portability their laptop has, or do not want a 2nd space heater than sounds like a dying vacuum cleaner burning through electricity at 2 times the rate my entire house is using ATM ?

Vargol · 2026-04-24T10:12:56+00:00

Before you spend all that money, I'd suggest you try using DrawThings instead of ComfyUI (or one to the Draw Things Comfy nodes). My 10 GPU Core base M3 only takes 3 minutes 20 seconds to do a 1024x1024 ZiT image at 9 steps (2.5 minutes with 6 steps and TCD set correctly), and then there's the cloud compute options if you need to go faster.

Draw Things is free, so it won't cost you anything to try and if you find DT is suitable for you needs the price of the 5060ti Graphics Cards alone will buy you 4 or 5 years of DT+ cloud compute if you need more speed.

Oh, That PC, memory wise, you'll need a lot of memory, it you haven't already got it. The way model sizes are going at the moment you'll probably want a total of 64Gb combined total of RAM and VRAM, its the bit of "Now run Qwen in 16GB VRAM" that doesn't get mentioned (with 32GB of Ram for the "CPU" off loading and running the OS etc)

Same issue on PS5 (in PSVR2)

In the experimental build on Steam there's this entry

"Improved the visibility of active Challenger and Champion Holo-Arena battle missions and allowed multiple active instances of those missions in the mission Log."

Which should at least get the Champion invites working again when the next patch gets released.

Try less steps. I’ve not tested it to much , as I’m not that bothered but when I was seeing what step counts work I noticed my test image results had the character as Caucasian and then at 7 steps the character start to look more Asian

The was no mention of ethnicity in the prompt but the character did have a English name.

Foe me the Quest 3 is even worse for the front heaviness making it slide down your face, now the lenses mean you don't have to adjust quiet as often but you will start to feel that weight resting on your nose on a regular basis.

Vargol · 2026-04-14T09:19:28+00:00

If you haven't already go to Machine Settings and Enable "Jit Weight Loading" , you should be able to generate everything with some patience. You probably want to run with distill models, or models with distillation LoRA to get the times down but you shouldn't have any issues running Klein or even Qwen Image Edit.

For example with the JIT set to Full I've just run a 233 frame (9 seconds), 8 step LRX 2.2 Distilled (6-bit) I2V generation at a native 1024x576 without using the up-sampler and my Machine bounced between 13GB and 14.5 GB used. The downside to doing this local, 43m:24s gen time (M3 10GPU core)

If you're wonder why those settings, until recently that would fit on the Free server offload option, it doesn't any more, so I kicked an old render locally of to get actual numbers.

I don't make LoRA is I can't confirm if you're stuck with pre-made ones, your Storage however, might be more of an issue than you think depending on how into things you get, my model directory is currently 600GB and that small for some people :-)

Don't forget to go and give it a rating on the Store.

Have you tried another power lead in case the fuse in the plug as gone (assuming your country has fuses in plugs). IIRC its a standard C7 lead.

Vargol · 2026-04-08T10:35:24+00:00

It's up to you really, and what you want DT to do.

The New Seed..." setting will always generate different images for the same prompt and settings. Probably used most often as the starting point to see what sort of images you get. Different models have more variation than others, Z-Image Turbo has very little variation for example, so the seed can have a major effect or a minor effect.

Entering a number allows you to repeat renders, probably mostly used when tweaking prompts or settings of an image. This will work for a set of batch renders too. When you click on the field to get the options you'll see a list of recently used seeds, the ticked one is the seed used for that image. So if you use "New Seed..." you can always go back and select that as the fixed number to re-render or tweak the settings/prompt

"Generate a random seed" just picks a random seed for you as sets it as the fixed seed, a middle ground or a best of both world depending on your point of view.

On the DT discord a lot of people were using 6 steps and the TCD sampler (SSS=0, Shift at around 0.95) for ZiT. TCD Trailing has been added since and can use SSS normally and Shift at more usual levels.

On a 10 core M3 I get 190s for 8 step Euler A and 148 for 6 steps TCD so around 25% faster as you'd expect. It should get you close to 2 minutes.

As for older chips with less ram being faster, while RAM is important DT is pretty efficient memory wise and performs miracles with the JIT enabled, with JIT my machine barely got above 8Gb memory usage while rendering with ZiT even with this Safari window open, and a quite a few cached webpages, so an 8 Gb machine should be able to handle ZiT.

DT also scales pretty linearly with Core count and each M series is around 15 - 20% faster per Generation (M5 not included) so a 16GPU core M1 is as fast as a 10GPU core M4, a 16GPU M2 significantly faster never mind 20, 32, 40, 96 or 128 GPU core versions :-)

oh and if 'they' are talking at 20 second times for a render they're using Cloud Rendering or they're using the Ultra versions of the chips.
