And its been, what, 10 days since NEXT released? I am not saying its the perfect game or it will be around forever, but 10+ days in the top ten played on Steam is a good achievement.
Currently still number one in the global top selllers too! Wonder how Xbox sales went.

I can;t see how freighters are a useful. I fix my one frigate, and bought another. Send them both on short, easy missions, both get damaged before they are done. I fix them both, and then send them out again, and they are again damaged before they are done. These are the 1 star missions. I can’t even pull out my refiner to craft the metals I need to fix them. I need to fly to my freighter and then process materials to go back and fix them with.

This is a great resource for what I think is the new economic metagame, harvest -> craft -> sell.
The ongoing Reddit link is here:

Its been updated once, it will be updated again. (Note the Reddit link main pic is an older version.)
I am a dummy, the base machine thingy is where you can do both, obviously.
I don’t understand exactly what uploading a base does though.

It makes it available so other people can see it in their own games.

I finally opened a ticket for an issue that has plagued me the whole game. Warning, this is just my ticket and not their response.
"In my 30 hour save file I have never been able to talk to the construction overseer Gek. I can build the construction terminal, and the Gek I hired appears, but the prompt is always similar to “I should leave it alone for now”. Its been this way for 20 hours. Because of that I cannot progress the construction missions, and I never never seen a scientist and the other things that follow.
I suspect this is because early on I built a base in another random player’s multiplayer save.
I have tried every combo of:
Deleting and re-building my base
Moving to a new system and re-building the base
I triggered the “base computer is on the freighter” bug, but went through the steps to fix it
Joining someone else’s game and trying to destroy and re-build my bases
Going through the teleporter either on a re-built base or on a station, and going through every single “your base” shortcut, and destroying any older base computers I can find
The only thing that has improved is now the “base computer archive” missions are synced to my local, current base, so when the timer moves the quest forward I get a quest icon over my current base computer. This was great to see, and only happened after I very thoroughly cleaned out any other base I could find and re-teleported to a fresh base in a fresh system, however the construction Gek will still not talk to me.
This issue is very similar to many posts I see. I have a save file that has the exact same issue. I am happy to help try and solve it. I attached all of my save files.
Please help! :-)"
So how do I build an Atlas pass v3? I picked it up somewhere and there was a formula and everything but I can’t see it anywhere in my inventory slots. I thought it would be exosuit tech.

Isn’t this the same as the old economic metagame? At least, I did this prior to NEXT, too. (I’m travelling with an underpowered laptop, so I haven’t had the chance to play the latest version of NMS, sadly enough!)

They removed the “pure” trade goods, and the system bonuses for selling the right good in the right system.
I started playing with NEXT, so I don’t know if this “crafting tree” was in the game before. Reddit seemed enthusiastic about that chart, which makes me think this is a new system.

I see; interesting! Thanks.
Also, in the latest patch, they apparently removed the trade goods for sale from stations and trade ports that allowed you to craft some of the higher priced blueprints like superconductors. For a while there you could buy the ingredients you needed to craft them but, no more. Now you have to grind the blueprints for them and make the ingredients yourself. People were making a lot of units quickly so they nerfed it.
Alas, I missed my chance to get rich quick.
Actually it’s very similar to the previous farm-craft-profit strategies. It does require you personally to get the good recipes (from Manufacturing buildings) and then devote the time and resources to farm the necessaries in the desired ratios, etc. What the NEXT update did was alter some of the recipes but the concept isn’t a new one.
Yeah I was sort of hoping to do trade routes this time around only to find that no longer works. Shame, I thought that was a pretty cool mechanism with the plus/minus bonuses to buy/sell certain things and things more desirable in certain economies, etc. I did the whole get rich farming thing last time. It takes some time to ramp up to speed but after you have your farm laid out you are clocking units at regular intervals in goodly amounts.

Does anyone know what to do when you have a damaged frigate, but when you land (after the damage report) there are no damaged icons?
And god dammit for some fucking reason, it doesn’t save your game when you get out of your ship when you are on a freighter. now all that mining and fixing is history…
Wait for the next patch… :P
They tried fixing that in the latest experimental build, but seems it didn’t work.

I haven’t even seen any emeril in this version of the game yet…
I guess emeril, iridium and the other one are all mostly in blue/red/green star systems?

I just picked a place to build my base. I made my first room and built a storage container. I can’t access the container. How is this done?
