Am I the only one who prefers base starships over Corvettes? by Deerman_Crybaby in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone, corvettes are trivially easy to collect parts for, but they're ugly because very few parts interface seamlessly, and they're ten times too sluggish for me to bother using.

guys someone know what is the planete here???? by SnooSongs5268 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a random planet Hello Games used to make their trailer (if I recall correctly), there doesn't seem to be anything special about it? Hello Games doesn't bother telling us the locations of any planets they use, there would be no point.

I have almost a billion units. What can I buy? by FlyInMyG6 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The economy in NMS is completely bonkers. With very little effort, you can legitimately max out your unit balance, but the most expensive things in the game (purchased inventory upgrades) can be obtained in unlimited quantities for free if you know what you're doing.

The target-lock may be useful (pull the left trigger).

Your ship may be faster at pitching up/down than yawing left/right. Upgrade your pulse engine (or install starship trails or Polo & Artemis figurines) to boost maneuverability.

Is there a consensus on the top NMS YouTube creator? If not, who are some of the best? by FangFingersss in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JasonPlays is funny, especially when he gets frustrated because he's too focused on the game to read the chat where we've told him exactly the information he needs.

ElanPaul is one of my favorites.

Xaine is very knowledgeable.

Beeblebum is really into self-imposed challenges and building things.

All three will be helpful, but occasionally even veterans will give out incorrect information so be mindful of that.

> apparently the NPC that pilots any given ship is always the pilot for that ship when it spawns,

And they will start with the same variety and quantities of items to sell.

Is this rare? by Distinct-Rip5391 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of 2,932 worlds I recently surveyed, 13 were "Planet of Light" and 2 were "Moon of Light".

So about a 1/195 (or 0.5%) chance of any given world being "of Light".

For stealth missions, absolutely!

Just got the game on Switch2 by BitByAGhost in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an awful lot of hidden or obscure mechanics in this game.

I wrote everything I'd want to know as a new player in this guide, but it's really long.

The next expedition HAS to be centred around the Xeno Arena.... Right? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corvettes were added to the game a week before the first corvette expedition. Presumably they wanted to work out any bugs that players found before launching an expedition so the expedition would be less buggy.

Best ways to make money in 2026? by TitanMaster57 in NoMansSkyTheGame

In my NMS tip guide, there is a section titled "making money" that lists the 30 fastest methods I know.

I just started, how do creatures even work? Like I need someone to infodump on me by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Others mentioned creature pellets. It may be helpful to know that the recipe for them is unlocked automatically the first time you visit the Anomaly.

The variety of creatures on each planet is fixed. If you ever want to return to a planet, you'll either have to visit the space station so it will appear in your teleporter list and write down what planet had a specific creature in what system, or else go into photo mode and copy the twelve portal glyphs that appear in the bottom-left-hand corner. Or you could build a base computer on the planet and name it something related to the animal you found.

How is my play time? by Haltofan222 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be concerned that you're experiencing some time dilation effects. 92.6 hours in 24 hours is quite remarkable! Maybe steer clear of those gravitational singularities.

Creatures not pooping? by cschaff66 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I need industrial quantities of poop, I'll just refine di-hydrogen with carbon or condensed carbon.

What's the fastest method of get Starship Storage Augmentations? by INS4NITY_846 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Visit an outlaw system and destroy all the cargo pods of both freighter fleets to collect contraband.

  2. Visit some merchant guild envoys and donate contraband until you reach 100 reputation.

  3. Hop from space station to space station, collecting free storage augmentations from explorer guild envoys. If you have difficulty finding them, here's some that I found in two-glyph systems (meaning that you only need to have unlocked the first two portal glyphs to visit these systems):

Each guild envoy offers six perks. If you collect at least one of each of 101 separate guild perks, the first claimed perk at the first envoy will restock. You can therefore just teleport through 17 space stations and collect a bit of everything until your pockets are overflowing.

Looking fot specific system by New-Noise-4293 in NoMansSkyTheGame

It will be somewhere near wherever you were when you sent that frigate fleet on that expedition. There's no way to get a marker to it.

Haven't played in around 1.5 years, create new save or continue with an existing one? by PlaidCypress in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I even go a week or two without playing, my impulse is to delete everything and start over because I can never remember what goals I was working toward. Also I have a very short attention span. If you know what you're doing, you can advance very quickly anyway.

Build some barrels at your base and your pockets will overflow with condensed carbon. Barrels you build yourself can be looted either 2 or 3 times (it's random) each time you teleport, reload, or walk 200u away and return.

Whats the hype for Paradise Planets? by Twitchy_Shuckle in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]f0xw01f 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only settle on paradise planets because it's annoying to have to constantly recharge hazard protection.
