I already posted this on r/No_Mans_Sky but I thought I’d share it here as well.

It’s really weird, I know, but the alien animals are probably one of my all time favorite parts of the game. I get all sentimental about my digital space friends and it’s hard to let them go in favor of a cooler one.

My girlfriend suggested this and I think it’s too genius not to mention, but we can keep the system of having 6 companions. We can only have 6 ACTIVE companions at a time. Every companion that isn’t active can be stored at a base, either in some type of storage or in actual enclosures.

That way you’re still somewhat limited (only I’m not sure why that’s important) and those cool one-of-a-kind creatures are not lost forever. If you let us build enclosures, we could also build space zoos.

Let me say that again.

Space. Zoos.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

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.

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.

So I start Expedition 2 and spawn as a handsome blue and yellow Vy’keen, out in the middle of nowhere on Tibertant Alpha. All is right with the world- I do some gathering and crafting, then stumble upon a crashed freighter and start ripping open cargo pods for the sweet loot inside.

Four cargo pods later, another player shows up and almost immediately starts shooting at me, knocking me down to 2/3rds health before I could get away- and once I did, they kept following me, shooting at me when I’d use my jetpack too much.

I got a good head start though, running straight up some cliff walls and even stopping to gather from a patch of Indium before reaching my ship, a delightful blue and yellow hauler. I almost completely fix it up- but I’m short some dihydrogen, so I get out and mine a nearby patch, only to get spotted by 3 angry sentinels. Just then, my assailant shows up having followed me over 1,600u, so I hop in my ship, toss in the dihydrogen, and take off.

Looping back around, I spot three angry sentinels firing out laser blasts at my former assailant, so I figured I’d get some revenge with my Photon Cannons, chasing them across a valley before it was reported in text on the screen that they had died in combat from ship fire.

I flew into space immediately, naming my ship “The Immediate Vengeance” and feeling like one very triumphant Vy’keen.

Am I playing this right?
