I bought No Man Sky when it first launches. I wasn’t a fan of it so I uninstalled until last night. I recently ran out of good games to play so I was browsing my library and saw no man and remembered the Cinderella comeback I read about.

I installed the game at 4 pm yesterday and started to play. I was blown away at how much smother the game seems to unfold and how well the main story teaches you about all the systems in the game. I was having so much fun building a base and upgrading my star ship.

After getting to a new part of the story looking for Artemis I looked at the time and it was God damn 2 am!!! I had to go to sleep and wake up at 6 am for work!

It’s been a long time since a game hypnotized me like this in a long time. Hopefully my journey will continue to be this entertaining! See you all in space! Named Toadz on PC if anyone runs into me.

This is known by many of you no doubt but for those who don’t know (I didn’t up until recently!): Get your weekly emergency broadcast receiver from the Anomaly or buy one from the scrap dealer then head out to space, use it, pulse to the freighter, and tuck it into your refiner while you’re opening the door. This will allow you to reuse it again and again. Apparently there’s a chance the game might eat it but you should be OK, keep a backup on your freighter (not your person) just in case.

I’ve been using this method to farm S-class freighter upgrades and it works a treat! If you can resist the urge to loot the freighter you can run straight to the engineering core, grab your upgrade, then dip out and do another search as soon as you take off from the last freighter. Again, I’m sure all of this is not news to you seasoned interlopers but for new folks, this is a great way to pimp your freighter which is a great passive moneymaker once you get your fleet going.

Happy hunting, travellers.
