This post will be refreshed every few days. The old post are still available for answering questions in those post.

Below are a few popular questions that we’ve received from our past FAQ thread. As always we ask that everyone be respectful and we welcome everyone’s contribution so have fun!

Q- I’m keen to start a new passive money making pursuit. What are some good ideas or guides post-Waypoint?

A#1-Gold farm, then take that stack and sell it at a terminal (not traders) in systems that sell gold. Sell all your gold to the terminal and crash the economy. Then buy it all back at 80% off discount. You just got free money and keep all the gold. All this takes is an initial investment on a gold farm, then you carry all that gold with you and just sell/buy back when you get to another system that sells gold. With 50 stacks in my ship’s cargo hold, I can make somewhere around 150 million units in each system I do this in.

A#2-Start a Farm, Fusion Igniters or Statis Devices Farm which will increase your profits to 100- 200 mil fairly quickly and you can even send out multiple freighter missions which will help you get aronium, magno-gold, Enriched carbon and more which will increase the profits even more.

A#3-Quickest way I’ve found to make a TON of units: Harvesting Storm Crystals. Find a VERY hot planet that has frequent fire storms. DURING STORMS ONLY – you can see the bright white light from Storm Crystals if you fly around low enough. Fly to them, land, quickly harvest them, get back in your ship and fly to the next before you burn up. Q-Where can I post ships and other cool stuff that I want to share with the public? A-You can always post on this sub and now the NMSGlyphExchange is live! Q-How do I get the Advanced Mining Laser? I don’t have the option to craft one, and the multi-tool upgrade vendor at the space station doesn’t have the blueprint for sale.

A-In order to get it, you have to look for the blueprints in crashed ships or abandoned facilities. You get it from the main story (awakenings) or you can buy it on the anomaly.

Q-What do I actually do in the game? I finished the tutorial, is there anything else beside gathering stuff, building a base and repeat?

A#1-It’s really whatever you want, there’s a base story, (assuming you haven’t completed it already), follow the quest log and you’ll figure it out, but things You’d want to do for end game? You can collect multiple multitools, ships, built a fleet for your freighter, etc.

Q-Is there a planet that is populated by many players, and they built their base close to each others like a city?

A- Yeah its the Galactic Hub Project, Its a place where many people have bases and each day the numbers grow. Please help yourself. There are many factions in NMS that do this, even NMS Pirates Hub.

Q-I’m still pretty early into the game, just making my way to the center of the galaxy, what should I be spending my credits on?

A-Go hang around a outlaw/pirate trading post. Cheapest S-class start at around 8-8.5 million without a trade-in. I recommend Vikeen pirate, as then you have two good and 1 remote chances at high-maneuverability S-class: fighter, solar, exotic.

After having a bunch of sentinel pillar bases, I ended up with huge piles of sentinel glass and the resulting Forbidden Exosuit Modules. My recent Exp7 save ended up with a few hundred of them after building and maintaining a popular base.

The problem is, each can have four of six possible attributes. Thinking in my head on deciding which ones to keep started getting twisted. So like a good tool-using monkey, I made a worksheet using Google Docs.

There are groups of three rows so you can evaluate different combinations and it will auto-categorize the different attribute combinations into a “type” so individual comparisons are much easier. In this screenshot, you can see the sample data I’ve put into the worksheet to start you off with. The top is filled with just me making raw entries from a set of the modules in my exosuit. Further below, you can see me take three of those entries to try to make a well-rounded combination.

Make a copy in your own google account and edit it to your heart’s content. Use it in good health and happy travels! If you don’t use it and have read this far, happy travels and good health anyway!

So in the Anomaly if a player invites me to their group I usually join. Mainly to give them a chance to join me in my bases in whatever galaxy I happen to be in (in this instance my treehouse base in Odlayutai, as a lot of players like to get there).

Sure enough ten minutes later “georgeACE123” a PS player enters the system, and heads towards my planet. Rather than say hello, the pr**k starts shooting, then leaves a comm ball in space where it can’t be reported. Both easily fixed as I have PvP off and blocking him through PlayStation removes the unsightly comm ball.

But honestly, why?

What the hell do people get out of being like this?

Guess I’ll be ignoring all invites from now on.

Even though I can’t, and won’t see him, it’s annoying me he’s probably building a base in my system right now 😂

Plus I’ve always liked helping others out, taxying them to various galaxies or providing resources they need…… Now I’m running out of trust for random players 😔
