Not sure if this has been discussed before, but… You can build a bunch of these at your base(s) and get unlimited free stuff.

• Crate Fabricator

Once placed, they take one hour in real time to fabricate a random container item. Once the item is fabricated, the container’s glow lines turn from red to green, and any player will be able to claim the item and restart the (one hour) fabrication process.

• Barrel Fabricator

Once the item is fabricated, the canister’s glow lines turn from red to green, and any player with an AtlasPass v1 will be able to claim the item and restart the (one hour) fabrication process.

Just unlock the base-building parts in exchange for Salvaged Data the from the Construction Research Station in the Space Anomaly. Then place a bunch of them in your base(s), and score a bunch of free stuff every hour.

• Ionised Cobalt x10 + Antimatter x1 → Crate Fabricator

Unification Day is a semi-fan-made, semi-canon holiday based in the No Man’s Sky simulation.

Excerpt from a Distress Beacon at a Crashed Ship:

The logs reveal that the pilot was celebrating a festival known as ‘Unification Day’. Groups of similar minds, unable to meet but attempting to find one another, to claim worlds across time and space. Once a year their various alliances, federations, hubs, and empires united to remember all that they were, and could become in time…

This year, Unification Day is being organized by the Galactic Hub. That doesn’t mean it’s being hosted in our space, that just means I’m the one who is responsible for compiling the schedule and reaching out to participants.

So that’s what I’m doing! If you’re a member of a civilization, and you have any bases which would be suitable for hosting a Unification Day activity (minigame, PVP, racing, etc), let me know! I’ll also send you an invite to the Unification Day Council planning server.

Hi, I played nms on release, it was okay at first but quickly become really boring, the gameplay loop was really monotonous, the exploration was stale rather quickly, combat was shit, lore/story was inexistant, piloting was bad because you felt like your were on rail and there was nothing to do on space, planet were mono-biome with repetitive terrain, etc…

I played a couple hours then the update with the pets was released, it felt better but still a bit shallow (haven’t gone really far tho).

I’m now interested by the game on switch (which has no multiplayer and no settlements), and I’d like to know if some of the game subsystems gained some substantial depth, if the combat are now interesting (and has quests or thing like that that push you to combat), if the story/Lora has more importance, if the exploration feel less meaningless (like the random 2rooms outpost that wasn’t randomly placed there, etc..), etc… I’m not interested by the base-bulding aspect of the game tho.
