Here’s some of the FAQ suggestions we received in our previous FAQ thread. Keep in mind that these are opinions from some of our valued OP’s and you may agree or disagree with some of these. We just ask that everyone remains respectful when replying to this thread and we look forward to your contribution! NMSTG Mod Team

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

• Add the ability to quick-menu summon owned ships on Space Stations.
• Remove the two antennas nearest the landing bay on Dreadnought Freighters.
• Show the current Hyperdrive fuel available (Ships & Freighter) while viewing the Galaxy Map.
• Add the ability to recharge the Hyperdrive (Ships & Freighter) while viewing the Galaxy Map.
• Add stats to the Exosuit equipment screen (resistances, movement speed, # of free slots in tech/storage, etc.)
• Add optional base powering (instead of just manually charging) to the following: anti-matter refiner, atmosphere harvester, oxygen harvester, and autonomous mining unit.
• Add buildable glass roof tiles for freighters.
• Make it so others can see your ship custom name.
• Add Subterranean Relics as a decorative item for bases.
• Add the new purple crystals (from the Interceptor update) as a decorative item for bases.
• Make squadrons an actual asset… instead of a liability.
• Hirable NPCs that can repair frigates… for a cost.
• Move planet bedrock lower so you can (on average) mine deeper.
• Deeper oceans (as in really deep) on planets.
• Add planetary “boss mobs” for some real challenges.
• Give us the ability resize anything and everything in base building.
• Add “W”est and “E”ast to the compass.
• Add a Player driven Marketplace in the Anomaly for convenient buying/selling/trading.
• Default all new saves to PVP = Off.
• Let us claim the “lurching turtles” on planets as pets.
• Do actual procedural generation of points-of-interest places on planets (crashed freighters, ruins, etc). When you have seen one, you have seen them all.
• After charging a portal, add a button that populates all the glyphs randomly. (For those that just want to quickly get lost for no reason at all)
• Add an option toggle to completely turn off everyone else’s Communication “Com” Balls. Alternatively, have a slider that you can adjust the distance at which they are “seen” from 5u to systemwide.
• Add the ability to delete your own “Com” Ball(s).
• Add coop base ownership, as in: After you plant a Base Computer, you can grant specific other(s) building rights.
• Increase base build limits. 16,000 base objects per save, and a 3,000 components upload limit per base isn’t enough for a game that is virtually limitless in explorable size.
• Let us un-tag all “active” quests. There are times where you just want to chill out and not be constantly nagged to do a quest.
• Give us the ability to scrap unwanted Multi-Tools. This could be an option in the space station Multi-Tool upgrade terminal… similar to how we can scrap unwanted starships. (and potentially get Multi-Tool expansion slots in the process)
• Add the ability to recolor the Sentinel Minotaur. (as well as all of the other vehicles)
• On the Manage Fleet Terminal on the Freighter… list 10 Frigates per page (instead of just 9).
• On the Discoveries page… list 10 Flora / Fauna per page (instead of just 9).
• Add an option for Exosuit and Starship to view the Tech and Cargo slots as either stacked (like it currently is), or on separate tabs so you don’t have to scroll.
• Add constructible wind turbines as base power alternative. Make the power generation corelate to the current weather conditions. Stormy = more power. Calm weather = less power.
• Add some way to clean up old unwanted/orphaned/forgotten Save Beacons, Save Points, “Com” Balls, etc.
• Add female models: Korvax, Gek and Vy’keen, Traveler, and Anomalies. (No Man’s Sky is a sausage fest)
• Add the ability to choose your Race/Sex on game startup.
• When deciding on whether or not to hire a Frigate for your fleet… give us a way to show the Fleet Management screen so you can see what you have versus what you need.
• Add some way to be able to upgrade the current Freighter Class. We can do it for Multi-Tools, Ships, Frigates (through completed missions)… but not our Freighters?
• Add additional alternative ways to attain Salvaged Frigate Modules and Cargo Bulkheads for Freighter expansion.
• Add rivers to planets.
• Bring back all previous expeditions as a permanent part of the game. Could add them all as quest type(s) to a new NPC in the Anomaly.
• Fix the head sizes for some creatures. I have seen absolutely ginormous creatures out there…. with teeny tiny heads.
• Add roving packs of Terminator-style Sentinels on planets who’s only mission is to find… and kill you.

I usually play more single player games so when I saw starfield is coming out in 3 months I got in a space game mood and decided to try out no man’s sky and the reason I said surprisingly wholesome is because usually the people who play survival games aren’t the friendliest bunch you know what I mean games like dayz or rust you try to meet up with people and they either kill you and shout slurs or grief you or back stab you along the way so anyway while doing the tutorial quests I got into the anomaly for the first time and checked out the place for a bit and this random dude invited me into his group I joined them I told them I was new and they immediately helped me out we did a bunch of stuff together one of them gave me a bunch of shit to sell which I used to buy a new ship and he even showed me how to build a base and even when I asked how to get more blueprints they helped and showed me how to find those buried tech for the salvaged data but anyways my point is props to the NMS community for being so helpful to new players can’t wait to grind further 🔥🔥🔥
