NMS HOT POST 2022/11/29

4:28 min later finally got expedition 5 done now the only expeditions I’m missing is 1 and 8 lol the hardest pet was getting to the sunken building as the quests don’t give you nautilon fuel so I had to swim 20 min and back to my ship as I was to lazy to fly to the anomaly and find salvageable data

More "Transparency" with base building stats.

Bases are great, planets to build them on are different for each player yet almost endless for each player too. And so its a thing people do a lot unless they really just dont like base building.

However there are some limits to the base building, for example. How far out you can extend the base, how many parts can be uploaded to servers, and how much terrain edit data is saved. I believe, to the best of my knowledge, that these values are never presented to the player, when they REALLY should be.

For example:

At your base computer, it could tell you how many placed parts you have (and the upload limit)

You could see somewhere how much terrain edit you have left.

And in build mode, a wall of light could surround the 1000u radius around the base and appear as you get close to it.

These UI changes would make a big difference in the information the player recieves around base building. One can know the 3000 upload limit, but who is keeping count? And really, should the player be the one keeping count in a physical note, like a tally for each base part they place? NO that’s ridiculous. And so the info would be good to know.

Some people, especially newer players, are really upset when they find out the hard way, and it can even cause people to not use base building for a while because the project they worked on for hours is all underground, or the massive “city” thing they were building only uploads part of the build and so to other people it looks unfinished. And these bad surprises could be avoided if the game gave you the info. I my self remember being really upset when I found these things out the hard way a few years ago. And I can imagine a lot of newer players will feel the same, especially with the updated parts etc…

Keep sleep dying

So I keep dying because I play late night after work and family stuff and fall asleep – heat, radiation, etc… I’ve lost millions of units value of resources – the typical find the grave next to my ship or last save point and it’s empty because already died multiple times. Then have to pick myself up, jump into ship find a more hospitable planet, gather resourcea and repair and rebuild.

Besides, log off before I fall asleep, any other recourse? I’m new and don’t have an exocraft, would that be enough protection while I mine and explore…I actually love to mine and scan the fauna for units and nanites.

Some questions from a relatively new but also old player

I bought this game a very long time ago because I thought it would get a lot better, and I wasn’t wrong! I’ve mostly ignored it for years, but I decided to get back into it, and now I’m hooked on the few game mechanics I’ve found so far. I do have a bunch questions since I’ve seen the game evolve so much:

  • Can players truly come across each other outside of the Anomaly? On one hand, it’s probably pretty rare, but on the other hand, two players found out they were 4 star systems apart on Launch Day which is how the multiplayer claim was disproven, so maybe it isn’t all that rare.

  • What makes a ship able to be broken into parts? While Sentinel ships can’t be broken into parts, only half of the normal wrecked ships I’ve brought in had that option, it was grayed out for the other half. I don’t see a pattern.

  • Is there a way to give player Sentinel ships a purple Sentinel Cannon? I love that purple color and don’t like that it reverts to the blue color of the Photon Cannon.

  • Is it possible to come across an S-Class dreadnought? I captured an A-Class one, and I collect A-Class Sentinel ships but have heard S-Class ones exist, so do they?

  • If I accept a Sentinel interceptor salvage quest, abandon the quest, then destroy the ship, why do I get a standing decrease as if I destroyed a civilian craft? Is this a bug or a mechanic I don’t understand?

  • What are the odds we’ll ever get an update to Communication Stations? I too fell victim to curiousity, I thought that it was like player Gyroids in Animal Crossing where other people can interact with them to be told the message I enter, but I had to go far away from my base, dig to the lowest point, and place a new one there to “get rid of” the one in my base. Additionally, none of the save editors that exist at the moment let you edit placements in bases, and even more strangely, no mods exist to add a delete function to them, which you think there would’ve been by now.

  • If Euclid is the first galaxy, and by extension the most played, why have I entered dozens of systems but have only found one or two “Discovered by Playername” ones? Surely I can’t be the first to find these, and I see lots of posts here about finding user-created planet names.

  • In my base-building window, I have some un-viewed wood parts, but none of them have the indicator that they’re new. Is it stuck like that?

  • The Custom gamemode removed a lot of the reasons I stayed away from the game, however one gripe I have is that disabling component damage doesn’t do so when going to a new galaxy, but does when starting the first tutorial section, both of which damage all your ship components when component damage is turned on. I keep forgetting I fly Sentinel ships so I often have to walk for many IRL hours to reach somewhere I can buy a temporary ship off of a random NPC, but luckily I’m always stacked on credits because I don’t have much to spend it on. Is this the intended behavior?

  • Speaking of the previous point, I have hundreds of millions of credits, what do I spend it on that’s worth it? I recruit every pirate frigate I come across after battles but it’s still not enough.

  • This is more of a nitpick than a question, but whenever I fire the Photon Cannon or Sentinel Cannon, I can see a blue straight line appear that’s not a part of the actual projectile. I assume this is what’s actually registering the hits but it looks jank and I don’t remember it being there before.

It's just me who thinks travel between Galaxies is overly punitive and tiresome

It's just me who thinks travel between Galaxies is overly punitive and tiresome

https://preview.redd.it/g53xc9gnh4yc1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c086bb552629eeff8a644affb54e2f1bd84ce3c5

Just clarifying, I know the drill. Go to a Portal, and travel to the closest planet to the core. Swap to a ship and multi-tool used only “to break” by the jumping. Remove all the exosuit upgrades then head to the core and jump. Wait for all the jump animation to finish. When you arrive, build a base in the new galaxy, fix the ship to allow it to fly, find another portal, activate the glyphs, and repeat the process.

If you want to have access to all galaxies without depending on anyone you will need to do it at least 255 times! And even though the steps above reduce the cost of the trip, you still need to spend fixing the ship, activating portals, warp cells and building a base. Also unless you do all 255 galaxies in one run, which can take hours, you will need to remove and return your upgrades every time you stop and restart this process. I have more than 40 upgrades in my exosuit tech storage. Because they are already optimised to use the supercharged slots, I need to move these upgrades in a way to keep them in the same slot when I return them, which is very time-consuming in not a good way.

Another issue is that in the end, you will have your base list so cluttered with bases to access galaxies in your terminal, that will make it a nightmare to find the base you need, given the teleporter has no sorting or search options.

It doesn’t make sense to me. I mean it is a game in which the main focus is “exploration“, what is the point of making it so hard and annoying to explore other galaxies?

What I am asking is simple, the possibility to travel to any galaxy without someone’s help or the need to catalogue all galaxies.

There are many ways that it could be done. Here is one example that could be made without changing the current mechanic too much:

In this idea Atlas Station is connected to one and only one of the 255 Galaxies. So we need at least 256 Atlas Stations in each Galaxy. The community will have the role of identifying which A.S. is linked to each galaxy. My point to suggest using the Atlas Stations is because they are a cool feature that, after the “Atlas Path” mission, become kind of useless, a glorified Iteration Helios, also I think it makes some sense in the game’s lore.

My suggestion:

  • The player travels to the Atlas Station linked to the galaxy he/she wants to go.
  • In exchange for something (maybe a Heart of the Sun, to give some use to these bunch of blueprints we get during Atlas Path), you get a token for the Galaxy you are going from the Atlas Station.
  • You keep that token in the exosuit or ship inventory.
  • Then the process is the same as the current mechanic. You head to the core and jump, things still break, but instead, it takes you to the next galaxy, it will take you to the token’s galaxy.
  • After the jump token is consumed and removed from your inventory.
  • If you are not carrying any token, it will take you to the next galaxy as it is currently.
  • If you are carrying more than one token, the priority will be the one in the top leftmost slot of the Exosuit.

Pros:

  • Give the player the freedom to fly to any galaxy, any time.
  • Don’t change the current mechanic, just add a new feature.
  • Avoid unnecessary bases cluttering in the teleporter.
  • It is way cheaper than the current mechanic, once you don’t have to jump to each galaxy to get the one you want.

Cons:

  • It is less but still annoying, moving upgrades, fixing things, etc.
  • If you want to visit all the galaxies, that solution doesn’t help.

There are other solutions that could make things even easier, like using the Atlas Stations as a portal in itself, nothing breaks, etc. But I think it’s good not to make things too easy either, just not as punishing as today.

I hope HG address that one day.
