Big, freaky looking guy I ran into when I logged back on tonight. Luckily he was docile.
TIL.
With low-tech weapons, wandering around on foot shooting critters for mordite or to do a mission is slow and tedious. They have this annoying tendency to run away. But I didn’t realize you could shoot critters with a photon cannon. And get the mordite and everything. So you just cruise slowly over the hillsides, slaughtering everything big enough that the game bothers to draw it for you…
Yeah seems OP* to me … you can do the same with the manufacturing facility doors. And depots.
(*but I don’t want them to take it away!)
Well had some luck, managed to get the antimatter blueprint and move to another galaxy with 6 unexplored planets. Anyways at the space station an alien offered me an upgrade from my basic 5 slot multi tool to a 19 slot for free, 9 of the slots needed repairing but were dirt cheap. Really pleased with it.
I noticed in the control options under Flight that you can’t bind a controller button to stop for some reason. The default is key S but I can’t get it to recognize left trigger on my controller. The only way around this limitation is to use a keymapper program.
How do you make an atlaspass no seemed to have found that out yet?
They’re craftable from blueprints which are tied to quests.
Atlas pass L1 spoiler (how to get)
I just got a level 1 pass by following the atlas path quest until I met Polo and Nada. I had enough survey data that I got a dialogue option to trade it in and got the pass blueprint. Not sure if it was RNG or a static drop. I remember last year getting the L1 pass this way…at least I’m pretty sure I remember it that way. To get to this part of the quest you need to find an atlas terminal in a system (think it’s called a terminal) interact with it and them warp to another system where you will get an anomaly detection. Dock with the anomaly and meet Polo and Nada.
I wish they would just give us a second save slot. I had so much money saved up and a wonderful ship from last year September. I want to start over, but am afraid I’ll get into the rut of hating the grind just to get money to upgrade again since I had accomplished a lot. But i want to re-witness all the stuff from the beginning and all that good sense of exploration and new story stuff.
Any suggestion?
As suggested earlier, back it up manually!
Then you can restore it later if you want.
Saves are stored in:
%APPDATA%\HelloGames\NMS
Just copy the folder somewhere safe. Unless you’re on PS4… In which case I’d suggest sucking it up and starting over. :)
I got the Fauna Analyzer Sigma upgrade to my visor and this clearly is not working for me at all. I’m getting exactly the same prices for uploading fauna as I did before I installed it (range of 2500-1500). Am I missing something else you have to install to get this to work?
The upload prices are still the same but you should get an immediate payment when the scan is completed. Note your credit total before the scan, complete the scan and you should see an increase. You can then upload the data and get the payment for that as well.
Aha, that explains it. Thanks!
I’m on PS4! Boooo!
Don’t despair. It’s even easier on PS4.
Just stick a USB drive on a controller slot, then go to saved data management in the menu, then copy to USB drive. You might also need to shut off auto-upload if you have PS+, not sure about this part.
Anyway, the files includes all four modes, so keep that in mind.
Looks like another quest line got bugged for me… Again.
Some “patterns in time” quest on the Artemis mine won’t tell me where the mercenary guild dude is, now that I’ve raised my rank.
So… Guess that’s done.
I think I recall why I stopped playing this game.
It’s a small team, and quite a big update. It’s not unreasonable to expect a few teething troubles. Maybe try the experimental build, there are quite a few fixes there currently.

I discovered a planet where every species evidently descended from a common bulbous, legless ancestor.
haha, great pictures, love those guys, every time I’ve run across them their mode of locomotion is hopping around, cracks me up
Why does my Signal Booster only allow me to find resources? The other 3 options are always unavailable, yet I know these other POI’s exist on my starter planet because I have found them on my own. Does it mean the other POI’s are just out of range?
