Hello, I’m just putting it out there that I’m not sure if this method has been discussed or not.

​

So a bit of background about how how I think mods stat are determined. When any mod is generated it gets it’s stat percentage (0 -> 100% where 100 is max stats in every category) from a random number generator. This generator essential has a set seed meaning the order of percentages are going to be the exact same across saves and reloads.

Knowing this we can essentially record in advance when we are going to “receive” a 95% roll and use that roll on any X Class mod we want.

What you need:

1. A number of X-class suspicious hazard protection modules (the ones that grant 2-10% for all hazard types). I like 10 because it fills a row of your suit tech slots 2. A large number of C class upgrade modules. 3. Any X-class modules you want to install. 

Steps:

1. Be sure to be in a place that doesn’t have other players or turn off multiplayer and make a save.
2. Install all suspicious hazard protection modules in a set order within the suit (left to right, top to bottom or however you like).
3. Inspect each module and take note of any module that “rolled” with 9’s or 10’s in each type and write down or remember which position or order that particular module was installed and continue until you’ve checked all the modules you installed.
4. Reload your save to the point where you don’t have the modules installed anymore.
5. Install C class modules in the same order as you did in step 2 until you reach the module directly before the “god roll” hazard module.
6. Install desired X class module across any of you suit / ship /multi tool and it should be a god roll module for that particular technology module.
7. fill out remaining number of places of “bad” stat rolled hazard modules from step 2 and then delete all C class modules to create space.
8. Create a save and repeat until you’re done.

​

Example:

I install 10 hazard modules in my suit and from left to right I find a modules that rolled (9 x1 and 10x 3) in the 6th slot and another (9 x2 and 10x 2) in the 9th slot. I then reload a save and fill in 5 C class modules and then install a x class hyperdrive with (311 ly / 100% efficency). I then fill in 2 more C class modules and install another X class hyperdrive with (300 ly / 100%) and then install 1 more C class to fill in my 10th module. I then delete all the C class modules and create and save and then repeat.

​

This is a long and tedious process but it beats the rng of X class modules and I should note that it will work with S class but they isn’t really a point to it except the shield / health modules as X class modules rarely get above their S class counterparts.

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
