You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: 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.

Tip #3: Exotic worlds only have 1 fauna so it’s easy to scan all of them.

Tip #4: Need glyphs? All 16 are on one planet here

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. 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 it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one).

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. 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

I’ve seen some people post asking if the game is really as big as people say it is. To this I would say that most people probably underestimate the size of the game.

To give an idea I just recently started a new save (my 7th save not including the expeditions) and on all my playthroughs I have never encountered another random player on a planet or in space. Not a single time in the 5ish years I’ve been playing this game.

Another example, just yesterday I flew into a system that was discovered 6 years ago. Whoever discovered the system must have been traveling somewhere because they didn’t scan/discover any of the planets in the system. So 6 years passed with the planets being undiscovered despite the system being discovered until I rolled along. 6 YEARS it took for another player to finally come along and discover the rest of the system.

That is one of the main reasons why I love this game. Exploring and discovering new things is what I find the most fun in and with NMS it’s seemingly infinite.
