I realized very quickly that it was much less grindy to just pay for certain stuff you needed if you could.
I just buy all my tritium and also buy di-hydrogen jelly. Never farm any of it anymore.

Thanks for mentioning that. 63 Di-Hydrogen Jelly later, we have 3000+ di-hydrogen for fuel. :)
Oh, I realized that a while ago. But Galactic Trade Terminals don’t sell regular Di-Hydrogen (or Carbon) and it just didn’t occur to me that something else would refine into it. Total forehead-slap moment when I did- it’s right there in the name!
Seriously great- buy the jelly and refining it in stacks of ten takes 3 seconds! Send all your Frigates out, warp to a new system and buy more there. I’m sitting on 5000+ now. No fuel problems for a while.
I love this thread. It’s been pure comfort during these trying times. Please post any more fun screenshots you all have that you’d like to share. Panoramic system pics, animals, ships, your freighters.
Allright. Here is a fancy baller-hauler (that I also did not get) but with coords.
The grey in some lighting looks almost black.
View on a lush planet I briefly considered a base on. Now I have the resists in my suit and exos done, storms are not too much of a bother.
A view of my frieghter in orbit above from underwater in the nautilus while exploring a world with a lot of water (for shipwrecks - Nautilus sonar’s ability to find them is useful).
There are shipwrecks underwater?! Are they better than the ones on land?
Yeah, there are wrecks underwater- it’s actually part of the Nautilus quest line to scan and find one. Not that I recommend doing that quest line- it’s a terrible slog (I just did it the other day, and I’d forgotten how annoying it was). The underwater wrecks are the same as on land, but you have to deal with being underwater. But there’s cargo containers, radiation poisoning, etc.
Finally made it to Sudzerbal! (Third Lush Galaxy, #30.)
Yeah that mission was a pretty big disappointment. Worth getting out of the way, I guess.
The underwater stuff is supposed to be pretty fun. Haven’t really done it much myself. And apparently if you’re set up with the Nautilus, it’s one of the best/most efficient ways to locate wrecks. (Personally, I mark Transmission Towers with beacons and revisit them periodically.)
They regenerate starfighter wrecks?
For growing up your Void Egg, I’ve now done 2 cycles of waiting 24 hours to progress. How many more of these do I have to do?
I think it’s like 5 or something- a real drag. You can hack your clock to make it work, though. Have you unlocked the first twelve Portal Glyphs? Because if you haven’t, you should spend your time doing that rather than hacking the clock- you’ll need them for the end of the quest.
Most things like that regenerate. Transmission Towers reset a few times a day, not sure of the precise amount of time.
- Save and quit game
- Set your system clock ahead
- Put Steam into Offline mode (this prevents the game from detecting that you monkeyed with your time settings)
- Launch game
- Verify that the mission has updated, save/quit game again
- Change your clock back, start Steam normally, reload game and you should be set.
With PS4 it was even easier, just set your console into offline mode, then jump back and forth between the game and messing with the system clock. You don’t even have to save/reload or kill/reload the game. When you’re done, just reconnect the online.
But if it’s only 2 more cycles of 24 hours I’d just assume ride it out. But if it’s a lot more then I’d do the skipping. Do you remember how many times you have to do this?
The only benefit is the sonar lets you find them specifically. No finding a distress beacon first and hoping you get one or the other. Other craft can find other useful things.

I’m not even playing NMS at the moment but I’m following this thread too for the same reason. It’s so awesome seeing everyone’s progression, reading through all the questions, and playing the game vicariously
