This Expedition is a survial expedition – play it like that!

1) You need to die once to get a milestone – do this right at the beginning

2) don’t linger on the first planet. Get your ship repaired, if you can grab some money, thats great. But don’T try to make millions.

3) head to the space station – remember, you can enlarge your inventory twice per system (station/anomaly)

4) always use the free inventory for the “cargo” inventory since it can carry double the amount of the normal one.

5) Ion batteries, life support gel are your live-saver: one “cargo” space can hold 200, use that. Shild batteries for your spacecraft are great as an insurance, too.

6) Often damage goes right to your health points. Store some animal remains (like cat liver), eating them restores your healt points!

7) You know who neither cares about fall-damage (that much) or extreme storms: your minotaur. Yes, it’s slow and cumbersome – but it can get you around on a planet alive.

8) The following rewards from other expeditions help, collect them asap: golden vector (of course), Normandy (since you start with a freigther you can send it to make you money) and the “alien monster egg” (hatching it counts for one of the milestones)

9) you start with a freighter – free storage room! Plus, with a bit of money you can build all ten storage “cubes”

10) The base milestone will send you to the wrong planet: the base has to be built on one of the planets with a meeting point (or at least the same class).

Alright for context: I’m now 20+ hours ingame. And so far i’ve gathered: The Korvax are not really individuals but also not really a hivemind. Then they got genocided by the Gek. The Gek are some greedy bastards and in turn got genocided by the Vy’keen. Who are fighting a perpetual war against war itself, which may be the worst, just leads to nothing except more war and suffering. Furthermore in the basic starting mission of building your base you meet: 1: an agrarian who is so disillusioned by the destruction of his species that the simplest of plants grant him satisfaction 2: an exo-craft technician who doomed his entire family to death 3: Your scientist who got disconnected from the convergence and has his memory reset multiple times

Why can’t I just meet a nice town or village of well-meaning Aliens or something like that? I love No Man’s Sky but it just feels so lonely 🙁

p.s. excuse my english it aint my first language, also I was drunk when I worte this
