You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to multitask. Too many new players seem to be hyper focused on farming for something rather than enjoying the game. You’ll get tons of units and nanites as you play. Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Q- “I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it?

A:” Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash, unless it is some form of egg (companion eggs for pets, void eggs to begin a quest for a living ship). Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: “Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can’t find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?”

A:” If you merely selected to “claim” the broken ship and not “swap” it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu (if you select the summon icon, you can find current ship, exocraft, freighter and other ships). If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one), or it will magically show up in the space station if you decide to scrap the new ship.”

Q- “Are crashed ships worth repairing?”

A-” Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units to buy a better, working version of a ship in that system.

Q- “Any advice for new players?”

A-“For new players, make sure you read the guide in-game. It’s an excellent beginner’s guide for traveling, learning about the alien races, building, and etc. Take a look over the catalogue of items too. It’ll come in handy when you need to learn how to craft materials. Turn off pvp. Also, I’d strongly suggest mining a massive amount of carbon, oxygen, and sodium. These three items will be some of your most used and critical items in the game.

Bought NMS when it came out. I was pretty much oblivious to the hype and to the masses of negative reviews.

Instead I was happily travelling the galaxy by myself.

Five years later and I’m still playing this game. Still loving the experience and pottering around in my part of the galaxy.

No other game I’ve played in my 40 years of gaming has done this. And no other game has continually been upgraded, updated and made even more enjoyable, (For Free!) by a team that truly loves what they do.

Nothing beat the excitement of accidentally bumping into another Traveller. Or building a base on your perfect planet. Or exploring the galaxy alone.

Reading the community posts and threads shows also what a wonderful and non toxic group of players we have too.

Long may it continue.

Thank you Hello Games. Thank you fellow travellers.
