Added “Guide” in title for those that search new player guides.

• Six biggest for me were:

  • Punch jumping – Sprint then melee then jetpack and you will got mostly forward with your jetpack.
  • You can buy a backpack slot on every station, but also on the anomaly in every system. So when you get to a new system go to that system’s station and buy a exosuit slot, then call in the anomaly in that system, go to the back where the people sell upgrades and blueprints and buy another exosuit slot on the anomaly.
  • When you start the game in survival or Permadeath the ship is directly in front of you. (in case you just keep dying in the beginning which happened to me a lot) so you can just sprint to the ship and jump in and not die from the planet’s hazards.
  • You can buy a recipe from the anomaly for starship that will “recharge” your lift booster with fuel while you are running around on the planet’s surface. In this way you don’t need to make starship fuel anymore and can “call in” your space ship to your location without worry that it ran out of fuel. For me I just scan, run to new thing, dig it up, etc. When I’m full call in ship, sort inventory etc.
  • Ion Battery / Life support Gel. Instead of making these, sell the cobalt you would have used to make Ion Batteries at a station and you can afford to buy these. These are a game changer in the sense that you no longer have to worry about finding sodium etc, when you explore you can just pop a battery. Combined with lift-jets thing above I can run around on the surface until I run out of inventory without worry.

• Medium refiner recipes that make more of a thing if you add oxygen :

  • 1 Oxygen + 1salt = 5 choline
  • 2Oxygen + 1condensed carbon = 6 condensed carbon.
  • 2Oxygen + 1chlorine = 6 chlorine
  • etc ; https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Oxygen

• You can put silica dust in a refiner and get “glass” you do not need frost wart to get it.

• You can make most plants in a medium refiner even if you did not find a planet that has that plant, e.g. Dioxite x2 + Oxygen x1 = 1 frost crystal. Just by the dioxite from a space station.

• The “space fight danger level” is often very wrong. E.g. pirate danger level “severe” or whatever. If you have 1 star ship shield battery or sodium or sodium nitrate you can win most 1v1 or 4v1 fights with just 1 shield recharge.

I’ve been keeping the wiki open on my phone while I’ve been interloping, it’s very handy for looking up crafting formulas and determining whether or not to keep something for later. But today it really came in handy when I stumbled across a relic gate in the wild. These things looked suspicious to me so I always ignored them in the past, but I thought to look up what they do and found out that they will send you somewhere random, sometimes to another galaxy even! So I took the dive and now I’m 500,000 light years from my origin planet on the other side of Euclid. What a ride.

So, in a display of petty rebellion after finishing the main story, my partner and I are flying away from the core as far as we can manage in Hilbert dimension. Figured a base on the edge could be cool… but there’s a problem. Still no edge.

The wiki lists the radius of Eculid at 819,000ly, and I was under the impression that most galaxies were the same. Well… closing in on 850Kly now, and still no sign of an end. Has anyone tried this outbound flight before and might share some numbers? How much larger is Hilbert than Euclid?

​

^{( Euclid was already absurdly large for an actual galaxy. Our own Milky Way has only about a 45,000ly radius, and the larger Andromeda is still only a bit over 75,000.} )
