I'm very much enjoying my time with the game, but it''s more because, unlike those who have talked it up, I accept what the game is. It's a sci-fi exploration romance. I accept that what I do in this game is less of the bombastic, stunning, and exciting things that games like Star Citizen and others set out to do, and let myself enjoy what No Man's Sky is: A journey. It's all about getting to go places, see new things, and as you guys said, be the first (And possibly only) to see such things. And honestly, every time I fire up the game, because of that "Journey" aspect, I'm able to sink my time easily enough, simply making the trip, or facilitating the means to do so. That's the simple beauty of it.
Agreed one cannot take this game too seriously because that's not how it's meant to be played/felt it's meant to be a casual survival and about enjoying the view
I'm enjoying the hell out of this game, it's super interesting and only mildly frustrating lol because I refuse to buy into media hype over a goddamn video game! I watch gameplay, educate myself as to what it actually is not what fanboys think it's gonna be.
Science Fiction, noun, fiction based on imagined future scientific or technological advances and major social or environmental changes, frequently portraying space or time travel and life on other planets. I believe the game meets that criteria my friend. Regardless of whether it is varied or not, it is definitely science fiction.
The best tip for this game is Sprint, Melee then Jetpack for a sort of horizontal glide. Makes traversing terrain so much easier; be careful of your jetpack's fuel as you don't want to drop to your death.
Also, when you get to an Atlas interface make sure you go around the landing platform and step on all the squares/walk through all the lights - you'll discover a few words and maybe a blueprint.
I've got a good tip, especially if you plan on doing a lot of trading. When you first arrive in a star system go the space station and then go that space station's trade terminal. If you look through the items in the trade terminal the things that are the most valuable commodities in that system will be marked with a gold star on the right hand side.
a good tip is to not stop mining as soon as you mine one resource. It takes a full percent for each time the mining is started up. hold off until right before it overheats
Also, whenever you're interacting with an alien and need an inventory slot free, you could notice the trade network hub on the wall and sell something rather than just delete it. Just like the trade network hub on the wall at 17:25 on this video
Nearly had a "and then I never played it again" moment with this game after playing it for around 4 hours. This video has re invigorated my enthusiasm and encouraged me to stick with it longer. Thank you PlayStation access. Your video bought me back to a wonderful game. Keep doing what your doing
301 club? and for No Man's Sky I love this game. We've been waiting for years for it to come out. I find myself looking around and say "oh wow that's so cool" a lot thanks for the great PlayStation videos :)
Great video guys! I love your work. I do have a tip actually, though it's more for money making than survival. I discovered just recently that every space station will have at least one high-demand item signified by a golden star in the top right hand corner of it's slot in the galactic trade terminal. These items can be sold for far more than they're usually worth and so I just go around the ships that land in the station, buy all of these items off of them and then sell those items back at the terminal for profit. A good example is one instance where I found a station that was buying Dynamic Resonators for double their usual price of ~27,000 units, meaning that I could sell DRs to the terminal for ~53,000 units. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART was that I could buy DRs from incoming ships for only ~30,000 units, which meant that I was making ~20,000 units on every transaction. Within ten minutes I had over 2,000,000 units and used them to purchase a brand new ship.
I'm sure someone else will have written this already, but if you feed the animals they'll actually go off and find useful resources for you! They'll get a magnifying glass icon over their head & stay there until you collect the resource.
A note on the signal scanners. You can use them multiple times. Make a few "bypass chips" and use them all on the same one. That way you can get a few discovery blips to go see before you try to find another signal scanner.
i have found that beacons show transmission towers more then crashed ships, a solid way to find crashed ships is at obseratorys and terminals that have a code you have to figure out which is a math question not a randon answer mostly patterns and stuff and there arent alot of them coz i have come across the same question 5 times in different terminals and you only have to get the launch thruster online for it to be operational and even if the lauch thruster isn't working it will land on a landing pad with the bypass chip
Great video. I found it spoiler free on my part, even though I haven't started playing yet. Waiting on the mailman! But more I see and learn about it, both from positive and negative persons, I love it even more. Can't wait to start my adventure. It seems, trhourh watching streams and reading reviews, that the faster you move through the 'verse, the less fun you have. Take your time, explore the planets and have fun. As I said, I can't wait to begin my adventure.
There's a nice exploit where you find a Gek (the little googly eyed guys) system, use one of the orange beacons to find a Transmission Tower via the Transmission search. Go there, solve the puzzle and a Distress Signal appears somewhere nearby, which is a crashed ship. The thing is, you can keep spamming the puzzle with the same answer (which you can't do with the other factions' Transmission Towers) and generate dozens of crashed ships in one go. Each ship has a chance of being a level above or below your current ship, so you can quickly upgrade to max 48 slots. Also, by taking over and dismantling ships you don't want, then re-taking your previous ship, you'll generate tons of stuff to sell and upgrade with, like they mention here. The only other thing you need is to find drop pods to buy extra Exosuit slots.
Scan everything.... have you noticed that they've got the creatures Weight & Height back to front though? e.g. at 1:38 in this video, the Weight is 1.62 metres and the Height is 111.20kg. Struggling to see how that made it through QA.
Individual trader markets are different from the main one, so you can hang at the space station and buy elements from the traders as they land and resell them specifically sell the ones with stars on the trade market because their value is doubled
It can be an infuriating game at times, exploration on foot could have been so much more but I always find myself wanting to play more and that's always a good sign. If your ever in the star system ''The Sixth Dimension of Mclovin'' come say hi...I'm lonely.
No mans Sky is a brilliant game despite its flaws. It's everything I ever wanted in a open world (or should I say universe) game. I love the immersive gameplay, I enjoy wondering around planets and just getting distracted by caves or chasing the animals. The game is absolutely amazing
Brilliant video. Things I didn't know yet, such as backing out of conversations (I was sick of upsetting people) and beacons and transmissions, really need a new ship not come across one yet. Cheers Dave
with feeding the animals, they have a smiley face above them and they dig for resources, which is pretty cool. so when you feed an animal just wait and they'll either resources or dig for them. when they dig a red rock pops up and its just a random element.
I can't flipping well wait to play this. Waited for the reviews and let's play videos to come out. Ummed and ahhed about it for a day or two, and have now committed to a purchase. Just gotta wait for it to arrive next week though...too busy to get a shop at the moment! Gutted!
Did the same. Got burned a couple of times with pre-ordering big gmaes that didn't work out, so I wanted to be sure this time. And oh boy, I'm sure. Waitng for the mailman, had to order the Limited Edition from USA (I live in Norway), but better late than never!
kevin oriordan Digital copy's more expensive though isn't it - I'm all about saving a few quid here and there! And we've literally been all over the place this past week...not even had time to turn the PS4 on!
Jan Brady Is that PS4 though? I've got NMS now, and it's ace. Definitely feeling the chilled out exploration vibe. I understand it's not for everybody, but it's right up my strasse. Easy to dip in and out of too, which fits in around work and family life. Bravo, Hello Games.
A tip I learned, use melee (R1) and then your jetpack (X) just after you can speed across the landscape a lot quicker than walking or running. If you start running first (RS click) it's even more. Of course be careful you don't go too high or over a cliff
Love this game! It took me a while to find a decent planet that had life on it but I finally found it yesterday and I don't want to leave in fear of landing on a dry old rock !
Their closing point ~ "Can't think of any other games like that." Elite: Dangerous is like that and is actually interactive multiplayer. That game's universe is so large that there is a very likely possibility that other players won't experience exploring the same worlds and stellar systems that you do. However, everyone starts in human colonized space near each other, so it's very likely you will come across someone else.
So a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with...Do only certain Multi-Tools do certain type of damage? LIke, I have a multi-tool that seems to only do the mining laser beam, but when I craft any type of bolt caster stuff, my multi-tool stays as a mining beam. Do I have to get a completely different multi-tool that only shoots bolt casters? Also, Does anybody have the problem of picking up a module with a perk and you go into your inventory to see if you can craft it and you can't find the module in your inventory?? Sorry if these are noob questions...but thank you for your help!
48 is the max on your Exosuit slots. If you have an Atlas Pass level 1 or higher you can access the other door at the space station for Exosuit stations as well. Don't waste your money on a new ship. Run down all the signals you find and you will eventually find the ship you want. Save your money for later when you run into the 40 slot ship and they want 50,000,000 units for it.
Just a bit of info. If you're doing the whole Atlas thing. Don't sell the Atlas stones. Also Atlas passes 2 and 3 can only be received randomly from command centres. Tried to keep that as spoiler free as I could.
David! There IS another way to upgrade your suit wi more slots: get a AtlasPassV1 from an Anomaly, and every single Space station will have a room which will give you one suit upgrade.
Top tip: don't go into a cave system and run around thinking it will be small and easy to get out. I spent 3 hours stuck inside a cave! Same goes with flooded caves... I drowned after an hour of struggling for an exit and air. (Note there is an upgrade later for water exploration). Finally, remember when collecting elements that in your suit inventory the slot will hold 250 but in your ship one slot can hold 500.
Your ships gets twice the stack size for materials like you can hold 250 of something before it makes a new stack and your ship holds 500. Most of the crafting recipes like that resonator you're better off buying it out right from the global market since it's usually cheaper then buying the material/ more efficient then taking the time to mine all the stuff to save 2k units from you could have got from just selling the items to make it. Grey chest icons you see after a scan are the rare mineral for that planet like gold and give you far larger amount of it than mining those giant chunks.
Back your save up, A LOT. USB or Cloud. Even then if you get a few crashes there's a chance that saves getting gradually more corrupted anyway, but if (and when) the game has a hard crash, it will delete your save. Also, note that your scanner won't mark every resource on a planets surface, there are some things (Like Albumen Pearls)that sit inside egg sacs you have to walk up to and hit square to interact with. Soon as you nab one it'll be a lvl sentinel alert, but there are sometimes cave systems FULL of these things and you can sell them for 25 to 30 K each. The game won't penalise you for grabbing multiples so ride out that alarm and fill your boots.
The first time I met pirates, there was 11 of them... It took me like 10 hours to realize that there is a flashlight even though I probably won't use it. I hope there will be sea creatures at some point and lots of other stuff to build. Factions and large space battles would be great too.
The ship inventory slots hold twice as much as your suit. This helps with mining, so if you transfer two stacks of an element to your ship it will only take up one slot. I'm not sure that they mentioned this.
Also while mining if you release the trigger and start firing again it will instantly cool completely, assuming you don't overheat. You don't have to wait for the cool down. this allows you to mine with only a brief pause and no cooldown. I think it's a glitcn, but it makes mining much less tedious.
Gold sells pretty well and is fairly abundant. It's good for farming up units and for a few patterns that I've seen thus far. I'd wait to really start trying to farm for units until you have 25-30 personal bag space. I made about a million credits in an hour and a half from gold. (I have 43 slots and 9 upgrades for my multitool just for mining)
Also, as far as I can tell, the better ship you have, the better ships you find or have available to buy. Can't confirm, but it would be a huge coincidence if that isn't how it works.
Use your Atlas v1 pass in space stations on the left door. 100% chance of upgrade from my experience. And finding the Atlas gives you two warp fuels each time. So it's worth upgrading your warp engines to get to each one faster to refuel faster. Though finding vapor and antimatter is easy if you use your pass on checkpoint debris. Almost always gives you fuel components.
I was just wondering how many words are there in one language to learn? Because I've been hammering down on my knowledge in game of the languages and is starting to get overwhelming and a bit annoying to find the entire language in a few goes... Because been putting off some encounters because i don't know what they are asking me. So want to know about how much there is to learn so I can make it more of a goal than a really hard chore... Really been enjoying the game but could use some help
There is another area where you can upgrade your exosuit! At the space station as soon as you get out, go to the other door and use your Atlas Pass v1. Inside that room you will find an upgrade.
PRO-TIP: keep certain trade commodities like the Korvax cubes, because interesting with the different races, they might give you special gifts or words.
He should have quickly mentioned on-foot travel. For those who don't know, to travel quickly on foot, hit R1 to do a forward moving melee attack then feather X for your jet pack. If done properly you will be boosted forward very quickly.
I have a question, i got the pre-order ship and because i did i kinda skipped some of the stuff because i didnt have to build a hyperdrive. I have never seen anything to give me a atlaspass when i apparently was supposed to get one early on? I already have one atlas stone but never have i found a atlasbypass thingy to open doors or chests. Is there a way i can get one?
To be honest, I am waiting for patches that can create players being leaders of a planet or system, establishing an interstellar economy between planets and systems. And of course more military presence that one person (or group/alliance) can build an army to explore hostile worlds or even alien ones. Plus maybe even conquer already inhabited worlds.
The more dangerous the planet, whether it's weather wise or just overly hostile sentinels that attack on sight, the better chances there are that there's rare resources there. They show up when scanning as big green exclamation marks. I found a planet with really hostile sentinels and the temperatures reached 130 degrees Celsius, and the whole planet was littered with Gravitino Balls, which sells for about 26,000 per ball. Within about an hour I saved up about 8 million units so far.
You rarely need gold to craft things Dave but about 3500 gold will fetch you about 800K units. Pretty handy if you wanna upgrade to a better ship that isn't overly expensive.
Good tip that the game doesn't mention is that if you put mods in a slot adjacent to the item it is modding, you get a bonus, also mods stack and chain. SO put a mining laser mod in the slot next to the mining laser, and another one next to that and so on, for stacking bonuses...
I was so hyped for this game but apparently we were lied to by the devs about the multiplayer, can you let us know if these rumours are true and if they are can you get answers as to why they thought this is acceptable?
TIP: Build the same types of upgrades next to each other in the inventorys. You will get bigger bonuses E.g. build boltcaster upgrades next each other and next to the boltcaster icon. They didn't meantion this in the video.
Mining gold can be beneficial. I made around 3mil units off selling gold and emeril (and uploading the complete records of the planets during the process for the extra 250k) and had bought a pretty nice ship all before leaving my first system.
Also, if you're in a harsh environment and your hazard protection is running low, instead of using resources to recharge it you can mine a hole into the gold mound (or whatever element it is) and step into it. The makeshift shelter will give your suit a chance to replenish without the use of resources.
Also, something that took me a little longer than it should have to realise, your ship can hold double of an element per slot, in case you're stocking up on a certain mineral
go to space scan around find a distress signal from an alien go to the outpost find where the alien is hiding go help him/her and they should reward you with the blueprint
If you see emeril, mine it. Mining a whole emeril depository (about 2 slots in your inventory worth) can get you nearly 250,000 Units with a galactic average of about +1.0
I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed it out but if you feed the animals and it gets a smiley face above it it'll start collecting resources in very small amounts and drop em nearby you
get grenades for the multi tool for harsh environment you can shoot into the ground giving you a place the the planetary hazard will stabilize... especially useful to wait out storms that can drain the suit in seconds
so if he has to leave the planet to go get iridium and then to get back to that same spot how will he know how to get back to that spot where the damage ship is... without waypoints I find it hard
life pods! they hold slots for your suit ! bypass chip / search, shelter, good chance. Cruise dangerous planets low as possible good speed, life pods render early so easy to spot ( found 6 in one planet). so far 34 slots in suit . upgrade placement is key ! keep like connected . example, connect all pulse upgrades for massive bonus. lighted highlight.
for a guy who is actually a fanboy of the old cods and all of battlefield and sports games.. this game is amazing! ill tell myself I'll play for an hour but I'll be lost in the game and 7 hours have past! also if you smoke weed and play this game is PRIMO
if you transfer a stack of resources from your suit to your ship, the stack increases. in your suit you can hold 250 a stack but in your ship you can stack 500
I found an amzing planet. No radiation, toxic, heat or cold. Pretty chill sentinels. No wildlife whatsoever. Loads and loads of emeril. And it's right next to the space station. The perfect place for grinding units.
did anyone else notice the weight is in meters and the height in kilograms? in the bottom left corner after scanning something the first part of the video about the animals
I think your tip on not mining every resource is good but your example about gold is wrong. Gold is one of the most profitable elements to sell. Gather as much as you can and sell it whenever you come across a trade post. When talking about hacking the signal scanners you didn't mention the shelter option. It has a chance of being a drop pod.
The happy creatures will defecate materials for you. One gave me a super rare. Just let it wander around a bit, then look for the red chunk on the ground.
Another tip - Check your landing site before you land. Don't do what I did and land on the edge of a cliff only to plummet off it immediately upon exiting my ship
drop pods ain't the only way to upgrade your suit. if you have an atlas pass v1 you can open the second door in a space station and their is always a suit upgrade their also.
+seppe sterckx actually. if you die on a planet you go back to a previous restore point and you keep ur ship but if you die in space you lose your stuff and your ship
If you die in space, you lose your starship. (At least that's what I heard.) And if you die in a planet you lose all the data you had that you didn't upload.
you can find better ships and muti tools almost all the time they just cost alot of units but finding and saling gold and emarld will get you that new used cargo ship in a few hours give or take.
I've just gotten the ship I wanted and upgraded it as much as I can... It rips through everything. Not gonna lie, it's a little bit of a let down stepping into my real life car after blasting space pirates into particles.
I'm very much enjoying my time with the game, but it''s more because, unlike those who have talked it up, I accept what the game is. It's a sci-fi exploration romance. I accept that what I do in this game is less of the bombastic, stunning, and exciting things that games like Star Citizen and others set out to do, and let myself enjoy what No Man's Sky is: A journey.

People tend to forget this game was made by like 14 people and still managed to be better than COD which was made by hundreds
Templarkiller Gaming you right
Darwin Award no that was proven false, Sean and the other guy got together afterwards and chilled
How can you compare it to cod they are two completely different games
Cool Boi Jorge was just an example
it was a pretty meaningless and misleading example.
a good tip is to not stop mining as soon as you mine one resource. It takes a full percent for each time the mining is started up. hold off until right before it overheats

Rumor has it if your early enough ps access will reply

Wow they actually replied to u..so lucky
Rumor has it in an alternate dimension this game actually doesn't suck.
+Roman Prokhorov lol
WTF video is 21 minutes long and it was uploaded 9 minutes ago and it already has a dislike i dont get it some people are just strange
Propably because they read all the drama surrounding it.
dislike bots or trolls
and it had likes aswell even tho people didnt watch it till the end .. why is no one talking about that
why would the videos lenght effect my dislike ? maybe i didn't like something they said in the beginning ? or maybe something was wrong ?
+phantom feenix and maybe you're a jackass.
Very good point at the end of the video there. I think we often get so caught up in finding all we need that we don't just look around and enjoy

So a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with...Do only certain Multi-Tools do certain type of damage? LIke, I have a multi-tool that seems to only do the mining laser beam, but when I craft any type of bolt caster stuff, my multi-tool stays as a mining beam. Do I have to get a completely different multi-tool that only shoots bolt casters? Also, Does anybody have the problem of picking up a module with a perk and you go into your inventory to see if you can craft it and you can't find the module in your inventory?? Sorry if these are noob questions...but thank you for your help!
I'm not quite 301 but this is the earliest I've ever been, I demand commendation, or at least a participation medal
Awesome stuff! I only wish you could select discovered waypoints and find them again
48 is the max on your Exosuit slots. If you have an Atlas Pass level 1 or higher you can access the other door at the space station for Exosuit stations as well. Don't waste your money on a new ship. Run down all the signals you find and you will eventually find the ship you want. Save your money for later when you run into the 40 slot ship and they want 50,000,000 units for it.
Just a bit of info. If you're doing the whole Atlas thing. Don't sell the Atlas stones. Also Atlas passes 2 and 3 can only be received randomly from command centres. Tried to keep that as spoiler free as I could.
Hadn't noticed the pin formula feature - thanks guys!
Been watching you for 3 years good job👍🏻
David! There IS another way to upgrade your suit wi more slots: get a AtlasPassV1 from an Anomaly, and every single Space station will have a room which will give you one suit upgrade.
Top tip: don't go into a cave system and run around thinking it will be small and easy to get out. I spent 3 hours stuck inside a cave!
Same goes with flooded caves... I drowned after an hour of struggling for an exit and air. (Note there is an upgrade later for water exploration).
Finally, remember when collecting elements that in your suit inventory the slot will hold 250 but in your ship one slot can hold 500.
Your ships gets twice the stack size for materials like you can hold 250 of something before it makes a new stack and your ship holds 500.
Most of the crafting recipes like that resonator you're better off buying it out right from the global market since it's usually cheaper then buying the material/ more efficient then taking the time to mine all the stuff to save 2k units from you could have got from just selling the items to make it.
Grey chest icons you see after a scan are the rare mineral for that planet like gold and give you far larger amount of it than mining those giant chunks.
NMS has got a lot of hate but I love it. The new updates have really improved it.
Back your save up, A LOT. USB or Cloud.
Even then if you get a few crashes there's a chance that saves getting gradually more corrupted anyway, but if (and when) the game has a hard crash, it will delete your save.
Also, note that your scanner won't mark every resource on a planets surface, there are some things (Like Albumen Pearls)that sit inside egg sacs you have to walk up to and hit square to interact with.
Soon as you nab one it'll be a lvl sentinel alert, but there are sometimes cave systems FULL of these things and you can sell them for 25 to 30 K each. The game won't penalise you for grabbing multiples so ride out that alarm and fill your boots.
If the sentinels are very aggressive it means the planet has alot of rare and valuable resources
good observation
Landed on a planet that was basically all gold and plutonium and there were no sentinels.
+Ainsley Harriott I landed on one with gold and hiridium
Syler82 I landed on one which had gravitino orbs everywhere. within like 2 hours i got about 4 millon units
Ive been on gold mines with normal sentinels to low
The first time I met pirates, there was 11 of them... It took me like 10 hours to realize that there is a flashlight even though I probably won't use it. I hope there will be sea creatures at some point and lots of other stuff to build. Factions and large space battles would be great too.
The ship inventory slots hold twice as much as your suit. This helps with mining, so if you transfer two stacks of an element to your ship it will only take up one slot. I'm not sure that they mentioned this.
Also while mining if you release the trigger and start firing again it will instantly cool completely, assuming you don't overheat. You don't have to wait for the cool down. this allows you to mine with only a brief pause and no cooldown. I think it's a glitcn, but it makes mining much less tedious.
Gold sells pretty well and is fairly abundant. It's good for farming up units and for a few patterns that I've seen thus far. I'd wait to really start trying to farm for units until you have 25-30 personal bag space. I made about a million credits in an hour and a half from gold. (I have 43 slots and 9 upgrades for my multitool just for mining)
Also, as far as I can tell, the better ship you have, the better ships you find or have available to buy. Can't confirm, but it would be a huge coincidence if that isn't how it works.
+kazzoman86 Yea I noticed that too. The better your own ship the better ships around you.
Use your Atlas v1 pass in space stations on the left door. 100% chance of upgrade from my experience. And finding the Atlas gives you two warp fuels each time. So it's worth upgrading your warp engines to get to each one faster to refuel faster. Though finding vapor and antimatter is easy if you use your pass on checkpoint debris. Almost always gives you fuel components.
I was just wondering how many words are there in one language to learn? Because I've been hammering down on my knowledge in game of the languages and is starting to get overwhelming and a bit annoying to find the entire language in a few goes... Because been putting off some encounters because i don't know what they are asking me. So want to know about how much there is to learn so I can make it more of a goal than a really hard chore... Really been enjoying the game but could use some help
There is another area where you can upgrade your exosuit! At the space station as soon as you get out, go to the other door and use your Atlas Pass v1. Inside that room you will find an upgrade.
PRO-TIP: keep certain trade commodities like the Korvax cubes, because interesting with the different races, they might give you special gifts or words.
Access how are you enjoying no man's sky, and do you know when horizon zero dawn info will be given?
Thanks
He should have quickly mentioned on-foot travel. For those who don't know, to travel quickly on foot, hit R1 to do a forward moving melee attack then feather X for your jet pack. If done properly you will be boosted forward very quickly.
I have a question, i got the pre-order ship and because i did i kinda skipped some of the stuff because i didnt have to build a hyperdrive. I have never seen anything to give me a atlaspass when i apparently was supposed to get one early on? I already have one atlas stone but never have i found a atlasbypass thingy to open doors or chests. Is there a way i can get one?
this is all super helpfull just started yesterday :D thank you guys
To be honest, I am waiting for patches that can create players being leaders of a planet or system, establishing an interstellar economy between planets and systems.
And of course more military presence that one person (or group/alliance) can build an army to explore hostile worlds or even alien ones. Plus maybe even conquer already inhabited worlds.
you'll be waiting a long time. that isn't what this game is about.
Gareth Bundy I know, but I guess maybe something could be added later on. This game is still in its infancy. It has enormous potential.
The more dangerous the planet, whether it's weather wise or just overly hostile sentinels that attack on sight, the better chances there are that there's rare resources there. They show up when scanning as big green exclamation marks. I found a planet with really hostile sentinels and the temperatures reached 130 degrees Celsius, and the whole planet was littered with Gravitino Balls, which sells for about 26,000 per ball. Within about an hour I saved up about 8 million units so far.
You rarely need gold to craft things Dave but about 3500 gold will fetch you about 800K units. Pretty handy if you wanna upgrade to a better ship that isn't overly expensive.
Good tip that the game doesn't mention is that if you put mods in a slot adjacent to the item it is modding, you get a bonus, also mods stack and chain. SO put a mining laser mod in the slot next to the mining laser, and another one next to that and so on, for stacking bonuses...
damn didn't know that. thanks
dank tip, thanks mate.
I was so hyped for this game but apparently we were lied to by the devs about the multiplayer, can you let us know if these rumours are true and if they are can you get answers as to why they thought this is acceptable?
thanks for the tips! cant wait for this to release in my country
TIP: Build the same types of upgrades next to each other in the inventorys. You will get bigger bonuses E.g. build boltcaster upgrades next each other and next to the boltcaster icon. They didn't meantion this in the video.
Mining gold can be beneficial. I made around 3mil units off selling gold and emeril (and uploading the complete records of the planets during the process for the extra 250k) and had bought a pretty nice ship all before leaving my first system.
Also, if you're in a harsh environment and your hazard protection is running low, instead of using resources to recharge it you can mine a hole into the gold mound (or whatever element it is) and step into it. The makeshift shelter will give your suit a chance to replenish without the use of resources.
Also, something that took me a little longer than it should have to realise, your ship can hold double of an element per slot, in case you're stocking up on a certain mineral
How do you get the recipe for the dynamic resonators? I'm 40 hours in and I haven't gotten that.
go to space scan around find a distress signal from an alien go to the outpost find where the alien is hiding go help him/her and they should reward you with the blueprint
Feeding creatures will get them to dig up rare elements. Landing on landing pads link your ship to the trade terminals and removes the take off cost.
If you see emeril, mine it. Mining a whole emeril depository (about 2 slots in your inventory worth) can get you nearly 250,000 Units with a galactic average of about +1.0
How do I scan in space? With which button? Pressed every button on the controller but nothing happened :/
L3 I believe
8:16 I didn't know Wheatley from portal 2 was in this game!
I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed it out but if you feed the animals and it gets a smiley face above it it'll start collecting resources in very small amounts and drop em nearby you
get grenades for the multi tool for harsh environment you can shoot into the ground giving you a place the the planetary hazard will stabilize... especially useful to wait out storms that can drain the suit in seconds
so if he has to leave the planet to go get iridium and then to get back to that same spot how will he know how to get back to that spot where the damage ship is... without waypoints I find it hard
life pods! they hold slots for your suit ! bypass chip / search, shelter, good chance. Cruise dangerous planets low as possible good speed, life pods render early so easy to spot ( found 6 in one planet). so far 34 slots in suit . upgrade placement is key ! keep like connected . example, connect all pulse upgrades for massive bonus. lighted highlight.
for a guy who is actually a fanboy of the old cods and all of battlefield and sports games.. this game is amazing! ill tell myself I'll play for an hour but I'll be lost in the game and 7 hours have past! also if you smoke weed and play this game is PRIMO
Omfg cancer.
one of the best games I've ever played - awesome!
if you transfer a stack of resources from your suit to your ship, the stack increases. in your suit you can hold 250 a stack but in your ship you can stack 500
I found an amzing planet. No radiation, toxic, heat or cold. Pretty chill sentinels. No wildlife whatsoever. Loads and loads of emeril. And it's right next to the space station. The perfect place for grinding units.
did anyone else notice the weight is in meters and the height in kilograms? in the bottom left corner after scanning something the first part of the video about the animals
I think your tip on not mining every resource is good but your example about gold is wrong. Gold is one of the most profitable elements to sell. Gather as much as you can and sell it whenever you come across a trade post. When talking about hacking the signal scanners you didn't mention the shelter option. It has a chance of being a drop pod.
The happy creatures will defecate materials for you. One gave me a super rare. Just let it wander around a bit, then look for the red chunk on the ground.
Another tip - Check your landing site before you land. Don't do what I did and land on the edge of a cliff only to plummet off it immediately upon exiting my ship
At 1:24 Weight 1.81m and Height 100.87kg?(and also by the other scaned animals) Nice job dev's!
Scanned*
Aliens*
You can also find Exo Suit upgrades in space stations with an AtlasPass V1
Why can't I Pin recipe's? I just simply don't see the option to pin anything on the menu, i only have the option to build things..
same here. did you find out how???
nah, not yet..
If you want to pin something i think you just hover over it with your cursor and push triangle. It only works with blueprints.
love how PHWOAR was daves 1st recommendation for P
HOLY SHIT! Both is mine! Haha I just found it the other day. It's super snowy and terrible ice storms were killing me like crazy. Haha that's awesome
drop pods ain't the only way to upgrade your suit. if you have an atlas pass v1 you can open the second door in a space station and their is always a suit upgrade their also.
The other ships flying overhead: Follow them. They can lead you to a trading post or other settlement.
i have an question what happens if u die? do u loose somting?
It's abit like dark souls. You go back to your last saves area, but your stuff is damaged and you lose all your resources.
kk
+seppe sterckx actually. if you die on a planet you go back to a previous restore point and you keep ur ship but if you die in space you lose your stuff and your ship
If you die in space, you lose your starship. (At least that's what I heard.) And if you die in a planet you lose all the data you had that you didn't upload.
-stupid comments i will remove-
Is it worth the 80 bucks for the copy that comes with a better gun and ship? or can I easily find things of equal or greater capabilities
I think that the pre-order ship coming with a hyperdrive removes 50% of the initial fun.
It's quite easy to upgrade to better equipment
you can find better ships and muti tools almost all the time they just cost alot of units but finding and saling gold and emarld will get you that new used cargo ship in a few hours give or take.
Have any of you tried stealing ships with a bypass chip?
It isnt even worth the 60 bucks dude, just wait for a sale...
the guy in the background has my DYINGGGG😂😂
That last planet, with the snow, did anyone else notice it was called Hoth ??!??!
you can add suit slots in the space stations too :D
People didn't find out on the internet you can feed the animals - Sean Murray told us this before it came out
14:44 they found hoth call in the x-wings and walkers
I've just gotten the ship I wanted and upgraded it as much as I can... It rips through everything. Not gonna lie, it's a little bit of a let down stepping into my real life car after blasting space pirates into particles.
Two ChrisMD videos in two days? What is this? Am i dreaming?
What are you on?
You're on the wrong video mate
is this a joke?😂😂
Lol I was surprised as well
I do exactly what they do to pin stuff, but I never get that option. I only get to build it.
Oh wow thanks dudes I've been playing for 3 days straight and I never saw that I could pin recipes, damn it!
I hope that you can find civilized planets with cities or towns or if not hello games adds it that would be cool
