Something I found out today is that taking any residual slime from the containers and terminals and putting them through the refiner as many times as you can, eventually it’ll start giving you nanite clusters. I think it’s roughly 1 nanite for every 5 slime. Not a major tip but it definitely makes me want to collect them early in playthroughs for upgrades later on.
@@MrMidnight0719 I did that on my first time playing, thought it was super useful. On my current playthrough I don't bother, I don't think it provides enough of a reward for the time spent.

I'm a total noob to this game and this video made me even more confused. I was hoping it would explain the basic mechanics of the game and the complicated inventory screens. Instead, this is NOT a beginner's guide. It seems more like a guide for people who have been playing the game and need guidance on where to farm materials and when to complete quests.
@@khakipants2918 I would just follow what your log says. Google is your best friend. Goals would be: main story, make a money farm (recommended is activated indium farm but that’ll come once you’re able to go to a blue star as everything gets beyond expensive and you’ll be making money 24/7 even when the game is off). Get to where you unlock all glyphs and find a glyph portal. Make a base to where you can just put down a portal to save the location. Constantly look for inventory expansion upgrades. Get S class ships/freighters. Once you get over that hurtle of starting out everything starts to click. Same with Ark, Warframe, monster hunter.
@@khakipants2918 I was the same way until I went and found somebody doing a let's play and it confuse me even more following him playing it up until he stopped posting and I came back to this video it made more sense
Awesome guide. Thank you so much mate for putting in the time to make this video. As someone who is new to No Man's Sky and I've only been playing for about 3 weeks. I find all of the things you mentioned very helpful. I hope you keep more No Man's Sky videos coming, in the future. Because I am damn hooked on this game. I've already clocked over 180 hours on the playstation. lol
You may want to consider a "Survival" and "Permadeath" guide. I don't see many of those around. It would be good to include a guide for those who max out the difficulty on top of that. It's surprisingly fun. The game really changes with lower stacks and harsher hazards.
Permadeath Lesson #1: don’t play while tired. I fell asleep playing for a few minutes and lost a 160 hour permadeath save. I was on an extreme planet. I can laugh about it now, but at the time…
Those settings are the exact same except you need a little more resources to survive, and in permadeath you can only die once. Don't think it needs a whole new guide because all the mechanics are the same. Serious, your equipment charges run out quicker. Materials are slightly more scarce. Nothing else changes.
@@falseshepherd-490 why would u throw away 160 hours of your life? Never got permadeath on games like this. All u do is add a bunch of stress n shit feeling into your life
I beat the original version and platinum trophy this. But the more I see and the revisits I do I need this video to see the new version(s) of this game.
a really easy early game way of getting free 500,000+ credits is to refine that rusted metal all the way to the max refinement of ferrite. just put it in the refiner, go do something else 5-10 minutes come back and repeat a couple times. it works best if you have some on planet quest
For anyone seeing this during expedition 14, bug killing, the meat the bugs drop is worth a bunch of money. Easy startup cash. Though you'll probably need to get into ship selling if you want an S class of something.
Great video man. Perfect for someone coming back to the game after a few years off. If the game launched like this when it came out, it would be considered one of the greatest games of all time. It is really an experience.
I didn't start playing until after the beyond update. I remember back in 2013 sitting in a prison cell watching the E3 show. Thinking damn, that's going to be the greatest game ever. On launch reviews were laughable 😂 finally gave it a chance back in 2019. After about 300 planets it just becomes monotonous. I eventually gave it up for 2 years. I played on xbox. Got a pc a year ago and mods absolutely change EVERYTHING! I can never go back. 😅
@austinstoner6270 same here. I could only read about it in my cell on how much the game has changed since it's released. Got out in 2021 and tried the game and was pleasantly surprised how much has change since I got in. Now that I've left it for a few more years the game is basically a new game.
@Zaimulwaie damn, I did a flat 7 here in Oklahoma. Mods are the reason I came back and the reason I quit. Again. All my mods are phucked because HG changed planet generation. Hell, maybe I don't need 30 mods anymore? Idk I may have to give vanilla a try and add a couple of mods at a time. Better planet generation, instant actions, custom biome gen, and qol mods were musts for me. I went in in 2010 got out in 2017 at 28. Crazy that I'm 36 now. What do you play on? If you're on steam or xbox I can add you and we can talk more. (If you want) I'm a solid dude. I have a wife and 2 kids, hahaha and 6 rescue dogs.
@austinstoner6270 hey I got in late 2017. 7 huh? Damn, I just did 3. Worst thing that happened after those 4 years was finding out my pc short circuited and fried everything. I play on PS so I've never experienced the game moded. Now saving for a pc. Maybe a laptop cause I'm on the move since I got married too. Tell you what, when I get a pc I'll take you up on that offer.
@Zaimulwaie bet!! I played for years on xbox and recently got immensely blessed with a 12k dollar pc. Mods are a gift and a curse. They take the simple gaming out of it. Especially when it comes time for mods and updates. I've had to learn a lot. I got my wife a little behemoth laptop from xidax. It's been a few years so it could use some hardware updates but it still plays every game I throw at it maxed graphically. I cannot recommend xidax pcs enough. You ca get one for 900-10k whatever you want to spend. I got hers for under 2k and it's badass. Remember that name *Xidax* we display port her games to the 75 inch samsung and it looks amazing. But, the laptop monitor looks even better.
You can get most Buried Technology Modules just by standing over them without needing to dig them out. They are usually close enough to the surface for the prompt to appear just by standing directly above where they're buried.
Been looking for a space game for years and I have been missing out not playing this game! Been playing Minecraft and NMS has some similar gameplay. Just started playing NMS last week and have been enjoying it! This video may be long but the first time I listened to it I thought it was very valuable and had so many tips and info! Saving it to a playlist to rewatch again.
So I dunno if I missed this in the video (the video is great, thank you!), or maybe the games updated since, but I found a way to get about 60000 nanites per hour if I need them. I got a 100% friendship score (or whatever you call it) with the Geks, I then bought tech modules (any type of tech modules are fine, as long as they are not ship core reactors which you can't sell) at 50% discount from any Gek seller in a space station, and then just sold the same tech back to Gek seller opposite the one I bought it from for the non-discounted price, and so basically doubled the number of Nanites in each transaction. I had about 10000 nanites when I discovered this, but I got this up to 30-40000 extra in about 30 minutes using this method. Also, if you get in and then leave your ship after doing this to set a restore point, then reload to that restore point straight after, all the Gek sellers inventories are fully restocked, so you can just do the same thing again in the same space station. I got about 5000 nanites extra each I reloaded and went through this process (which takes like 5 minutes each time you do it).
I just got the game last week. Im 8 hours in, and i havent even run into this "anomaly" ive heard mentioned so many times lol. I spend most of my time confused looking through menus, trying to figure out how to do the same thing ive already done a few times, and talking to aliens trying to learn their languages. Last night it finally started to click though. I was struggling and didnt really feel like playing a lot of the time cuz its overwhelming, but after my first starship fight, getting a gun, and using maps to expand my inventory, im loving it. Its slow going for me, cant wait to get some better ships and stuff but im finally getting how a lot of the systems work.
Another easy money making strategy is raiding freighters in pirate systems. All that contraband stuff sells for a ton in a lawful system. You get a bunch of freighter modules and nanites too. A full ship cargo of contraband = at least 200,000,000. Freighters spawn infinitely, just boost away a few seconds and then fly around a little and more appear.
Early on, you can get 12 slots for your inventory. Go to the first station, go up and get the free backpack slot, THEN talk to the NPC about the traveler. That resets that system's backpack and you can buy another 1. Every time you go to a new system, you can summon the anomaly and it will offer another slot. So - there are 5 "showcase" bases in the anomaly. Teleport to that base, fly to the space station, buy the slot, summon the anomaly, go to the back and buy a slot from there. Use the anomaly teleport to go to the next base... 5 stations above the bases, 5 summons of the anomaly = 10 more slots. So quickly you can get 12 backpack slots.
Khraze! Thank you so much for all of your work! You've been my go to for all my game needs for years now. I just bought NMS on sale for switch. Was very hesitant to start it back up due to that early game grind, but now you just motivated me! Thanks brother!
OMG, this guy plays so smart! His tips are really quick and helpful! But honestly, some of them you can just skip and play the game your own way. They might not be super effective, but it’s all about your own journey
Wild... 5.0 Worlds update just came out. I didn't play the game for a couple weeks prior, and when checking out the update, I couldn't really tell much of a difference. But then watching this video, wow I did not realize how barren planets looked until I saw how lush and detailed they are now. And the lighting... What a huge upgrade. I thought the planets already looked really beautiful and diverse and had a lot going on, but now.... holy shiz, Hello Games. What a leap.
Finally to the point where I can actually make a solar panels and teleporters and I'm at least creating one small base on each planet and every solar system so like right now I've got three bases I'm going to have a fourth here soon just kind of spending a couple of hours on each planet I'm at the story part where it wants me to do like the the new solar system so I'll probably do that after I make my 4th base cuz there's only four planets in my current solar system and I'll just kind of casually go from there and see what that has to offer it's so cool landing on new planets they're so vastly different from each other than usually
Love this tutorial, I get a little lost on what’s the main focus? Like what’s the main objective, what makes me a seasoned player ? Any advice ? Just jumped galaxies, no spoilers
Units and nanites. Just play the game. You'll have move than you will ever need by just playing the game. I've never struggled to get nanites or units. I've never farmer them. Just get scanner upgrades. Scan get units and nanites while playing the game. I've hardly touched the quest line and I have over a billion units and 250K nanites just doing the guests at the space stations as I go. You get rep for free stuff getting you more nanites and units.
I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention surveying and deep mineral deposits. A C-class dioxite mineral extractor will totally eliminate life support as a problem for you to worry about, forever, and you can refine the surplus into ferrite dust or sell it. A C-class activated indium extractor will passively(!) earn tens of thousands of units per hour, or hundreds of thousands over the course of a day (and this can be significantly improved by building multiple extractors on the same deposit). Many other substances can also be automatically mined in this fashion. Obviously, S-class deposits are significantly better, but they're also a pain to find.
If you’re new or struggling I highly recommend the Discord!!! the community is one of the most active I’ve ever been apart of, not to mention a lot of these no man’s sky streamer are also apart of these groups
I think most people forget you can change the difficulty settings to emulate any level of difficulty/realism you see fit. If you’re gonna let some random player drop you millions/billions then you might as well just give yourself a strong start with cheats and then play legit thereafter.
I'm hoping your ship can be heavily customised to look completely different and epic. The Sentinel ships look so much cooler and was gonna nab one for myself as well but seeing as they use their own completely custom tech that relies on materials from that kind of system only it doesn't seem viable. I'm hoping/assuming the real intention is to work on the same one ship to work on and improve it till it becomes an absolute beast that looks exactly how you want it to.
36:45 It's worth mentioning that clearing all the sentinals by deactivating them at the sentinal pillar resets once you leave the system. I ported away to my base to do some stuff and returned to farm the interceptor ships, but now the planet is covered in stupid sentinals again and I don't have another boundary map :(:(:(
Whoa, what an intense yet useful pack of info about the game! Thanks a lot. I now get how massively I screwed up the main quests. I didn't craft like ANY of those orbs, but Atlas let me down through the quest line anyway. Curious. 🤔
Thanks a lot for all the tips and tricks! Just started the game some days ago and I'm so hooked, all those infos will help a lot! (played NMS on release for some months but never got back at it until Worlds 1.0)
I just got it on sale, I had it when it first came out but after a few hundred hours I got bored. It looks like they’ve put so so much tlc into this since
Friendly Heads Up: Dog fighting doesn't work in star field. Regardless of dodging or not moving at all, you will always take 3-6 hits. No fun in that play style, once you see it for yourself.
Hm..... A lot of these i fell into doing (basics) when I started playing recently. The copper mining one, I didn't even know there was a bigger radius for, probably because the default size is small on switch XD (best way to mine on switch is single trigger pull, gives you more presice control, keeps the lag down) I stumbled into a Dreadnaught fight, but didn't know to blast her engines, she got away. Knowing my luck, it was A or S class lmao. I was just glad to actually beat one. Now I know I can take one over, I'll keep my eyes out for them. I've taken to naming the paradise planets I find (but not the others) but I noticed that if I only scan a planet, and don't land on it, it's name changes if I return to that system. Is that normal? Are names (default generated ones) specific to your save if you don't use 'rename and upload' or 'upload'?
Idk for sure, but I think that you get less of the material with the larger radius. I say that because despite taking out a larger chunk, the numbers on the side seem to be the same. Meaning you are still getting the same number of copper per shot, even though you are making more of the deposite disappear with each shot.
You want a "perfect start" in No Man's Sky? Quickly progress in the story until you get access to the anomaly (multiplayer portal) and go hang out there for a while. Eventually someone will come along, notice you're new, and dump items into your inventory worth MILLIONS of credits. This will be more than enough for you to go find a ship, at an outpost or starbase, you love and buy it from the NPC pilot. The community of NMS is awesome and loves helping out new players.
I was just about to buy this game, glad i watched this first. The game got a reality check. It looks like a huge grind/farm party just to have some fun.
Well, you can hunt pirates in Space, or become a pirat, you can take base buidling to great hights, you can be the commander of a fleet of huge cargo ships, you can have your personal zoo, you can go on regular missions with other players, you can build your own ships, you can spezialise on tracking animal live, you can do whatever you want to. But in the beginning, there's much grinding going on, right.
@@EverythingWasGreat I understand. And you don't want to play two similar games at the same time. I'll face that situation next year when Light My Fire comes out. I've already spent way too much time on alien planets instead of being in the real world.
Watched the whole video hoping you’d tell us how to get the character cosmetics and staff 😭 I see them in every video but I can’t find anything on the internet on how to get them
Should have touched on ship building. It's so easy now to get an S class. And a S class with the look you want. Before you could get them, and it could be a nightmare looking one that you just can't use it's so ugly.
Easy way to make millions of credits 1. Find crashed ship 2. Repair thrusters only 3. Fly it to space station 4. Sell the whole thing for between 1.5-3million units 5. Repeat forever
I do this all the time and its really fun. Now I found an A-class fighter and made it my new ship. The only "costs" I had were the required materials to unlock the slots occupied by broken components.
Great video thanks. I just picked up the game . Where you salvaged the ships is it worth keeping any of them if your new and only have the starting ship ?
Also new here, I found it wasn't worth trying to find the resources to repair crashed ships. Easier to sell it and save to buy that same ship in your current system.
get as many ships as you can find. you can keep up to 10 at a time. sell the rest, or scrap fighters, haulers and explorers for parts to build your own ship
Not unless you find one you really like or want parts of it you really want (and then use at the ship builder to make your own). I would use the "interceptor" unit farming method to get one and make my primary, and aim for S class. Or use No Mans Sky Coordinate Exchange (google it) for guaranteed S classess. I'll cover more unique discoveries soon
As many times as I have started a new game I have actually never had a paradise planet in the first system. And usually I have to go a few just to find one.
It took me whole 10 days to realize the anomaly has all the recipes to unlock new stuff.. I thought the only way to beome more recipes was doing these annoying quests until i saw it.. There is a lot in this game you wish it would tell you things like this..
I mainly play Start Citizen for 3/4 last years but i needed something new still in the SF / Spacesphip genre. I bought this game yesterday and try to watch some videos, but you're probably the one with the more tips, very pedagogue and pleasant to watch. Thanks you, you puted lot of time in it. There is many small mechanics that the game don't really teach.
I think the biggest thing is to just enjoy yourself. It's really become a game where you can do whatever you want to. Play through the story to unlock a lot of stuff for free. Don't ever be afraid that you'll miss out on something, you can get whatever you want later on.

Get to where you unlock all glyphs and find a glyph portal. Make a base to where you can just put down a portal to save the location. Constantly look for inventory expansion upgrades. Get S class ships/freighters. Once you get over that hurtle of starting out everything starts to click. Same with Ark, Warframe, monster hunter.
Just keep playing and testing it'll slowly start make sense. In a sandbox game there's no mistakes
@@khakipants2918 I was the same way until I went and found somebody doing a let's play and it confuse me even more following him playing it up until he stopped posting and I came back to this video it made more sense
Awesome guide. Thank you so much mate for putting in the time to make this video. As someone who is new to No Man's Sky and I've only been playing for about 3 weeks. I find all of the things you mentioned very helpful. I hope you keep more No Man's Sky videos coming, in the future. Because I am damn hooked on this game. I've already clocked over 180 hours on the playstation. lol
For sure. Working on a lot of big videos :D
Are you still playing? What platform are you experiencing the vast universe on?
@@austinstoner1988 he says it in the last word….
@@SavageRoosterOnThaLooster I was listening and reading (not intently at work)
You may want to consider a "Survival" and "Permadeath" guide. I don't see many of those around. It would be good to include a guide for those who max out the difficulty on top of that. It's surprisingly fun. The game really changes with lower stacks and harsher hazards.
Yep working on those too. Permadeath mostly since it should cover survival well enough :D
Permadeath Lesson #1: don’t play while tired.
I fell asleep playing for a few minutes and lost a 160 hour permadeath save. I was on an extreme planet. I can laugh about it now, but at the time…
Those settings are the exact same except you need a little more resources to survive, and in permadeath you can only die once.
Don't think it needs a whole new guide because all the mechanics are the same. Serious, your equipment charges run out quicker. Materials are slightly more scarce. Nothing else changes.
@@falseshepherd-490 Lesson #2: It is advised to avoid drinking copious amounts of bourbon while playing permadeath.
@@falseshepherd-490 why would u throw away 160 hours of your life? Never got permadeath on games like this. All u do is add a bunch of stress n shit feeling into your life
I beat the original version and platinum trophy this. But the more I see and the revisits I do I need this video to see the new version(s) of this game.
Had my eye on this game for years, finally decided to pick it up on sale. Been hearing good things, can’t wait to get started.
Hows it going
a really easy early game way of getting free 500,000+ credits is to refine that rusted metal all the way to the max refinement of ferrite. just put it in the refiner, go do something else 5-10 minutes come back and repeat a couple times. it works best if you have some on planet quest
For anyone seeing this during expedition 14, bug killing, the meat the bugs drop is worth a bunch of money. Easy startup cash. Though you'll probably need to get into ship selling if you want an S class of something.
Great video man. Perfect for someone coming back to the game after a few years off. If the game launched like this when it came out, it would be considered one of the greatest games of all time. It is really an experience.
I didn't start playing until after the beyond update. I remember back in 2013 sitting in a prison cell watching the E3 show. Thinking damn, that's going to be the greatest game ever. On launch reviews were laughable 😂 finally gave it a chance back in 2019. After about 300 planets it just becomes monotonous. I eventually gave it up for 2 years. I played on xbox. Got a pc a year ago and mods absolutely change EVERYTHING! I can never go back. 😅
@austinstoner6270 same here. I could only read about it in my cell on how much the game has changed since it's released. Got out in 2021 and tried the game and was pleasantly surprised how much has change since I got in. Now that I've left it for a few more years the game is basically a new game.
@Zaimulwaie damn, I did a flat 7 here in Oklahoma. Mods are the reason I came back and the reason I quit. Again. All my mods are phucked because HG changed planet generation. Hell, maybe I don't need 30 mods anymore? Idk I may have to give vanilla a try and add a couple of mods at a time. Better planet generation, instant actions, custom biome gen, and qol mods were musts for me. I went in in 2010 got out in 2017 at 28. Crazy that I'm 36 now. What do you play on? If you're on steam or xbox I can add you and we can talk more. (If you want) I'm a solid dude. I have a wife and 2 kids, hahaha and 6 rescue dogs.
@austinstoner6270 hey I got in late 2017. 7 huh? Damn, I just did 3. Worst thing that happened after those 4 years was finding out my pc short circuited and fried everything. I play on PS so I've never experienced the game moded. Now saving for a pc. Maybe a laptop cause I'm on the move since I got married too. Tell you what, when I get a pc I'll take you up on that offer.
@Zaimulwaie bet!! I played for years on xbox and recently got immensely blessed with a 12k dollar pc. Mods are a gift and a curse. They take the simple gaming out of it. Especially when it comes time for mods and updates. I've had to learn a lot. I got my wife a little behemoth laptop from xidax. It's been a few years so it could use some hardware updates but it still plays every game I throw at it maxed graphically. I cannot recommend xidax pcs enough. You ca get one for 900-10k whatever you want to spend. I got hers for under 2k and it's badass. Remember that name *Xidax* we display port her games to the 75 inch samsung and it looks amazing. But, the laptop monitor looks even better.
You can get most Buried Technology Modules just by standing over them without needing to dig them out. They are usually close enough to the surface for the prompt to appear just by standing directly above where they're buried.
I've already played so many hours and still got to pick up a lot of tips, thanks!
I have held off on playing No Man's Sky since it's launch, so neat to see a lot of tips and such on how to start from the beginning!
Been looking for a space game for years and I have been missing out not playing this game! Been playing Minecraft and NMS has some similar gameplay. Just started playing NMS last week and have been enjoying it!
This video may be long but the first time I listened to it I thought it was very valuable and had so many tips and info! Saving it to a playlist to rewatch again.
So I dunno if I missed this in the video (the video is great, thank you!), or maybe the games updated since, but I found a way to get about 60000 nanites per hour if I need them. I got a 100% friendship score (or whatever you call it) with the Geks, I then bought tech modules (any type of tech modules are fine, as long as they are not ship core reactors which you can't sell) at 50% discount from any Gek seller in a space station, and then just sold the same tech back to Gek seller opposite the one I bought it from for the non-discounted price, and so basically doubled the number of Nanites in each transaction. I had about 10000 nanites when I discovered this, but I got this up to 30-40000 extra in about 30 minutes using this method. Also, if you get in and then leave your ship after doing this to set a restore point, then reload to that restore point straight after, all the Gek sellers inventories are fully restocked, so you can just do the same thing again in the same space station. I got about 5000 nanites extra each I reloaded and went through this process (which takes like 5 minutes each time you do it).
I just got the game last week. Im 8 hours in, and i havent even run into this "anomaly" ive heard mentioned so many times lol. I spend most of my time confused looking through menus, trying to figure out how to do the same thing ive already done a few times, and talking to aliens trying to learn their languages. Last night it finally started to click though. I was struggling and didnt really feel like playing a lot of the time cuz its overwhelming, but after my first starship fight, getting a gun, and using maps to expand my inventory, im loving it. Its slow going for me, cant wait to get some better ships and stuff but im finally getting how a lot of the systems work.
Another easy money making strategy is raiding freighters in pirate systems.
All that contraband stuff sells for a ton in a lawful system. You get a bunch of freighter modules and nanites too. A full ship cargo of contraband = at least 200,000,000. Freighters spawn infinitely, just boost away a few seconds and then fly around a little and more appear.
Early on, you can get 12 slots for your inventory.
Go to the first station, go up and get the free backpack slot, THEN talk to the NPC about the traveler. That resets that system's backpack and you can buy another 1.
Every time you go to a new system, you can summon the anomaly and it will offer another slot. So - there are 5 "showcase" bases in the anomaly. Teleport to that base, fly to the space station, buy the slot, summon the anomaly, go to the back and buy a slot from there. Use the anomaly teleport to go to the next base... 5 stations above the bases, 5 summons of the anomaly = 10 more slots.
So quickly you can get 12 backpack slots.
Holy cow! Really useful! I am 50 hrs in and some of this was new to me!
Khraze! Thank you so much for all of your work! You've been my go to for all my game needs for years now.
I just bought NMS on sale for switch. Was very hesitant to start it back up due to that early game grind, but now you just motivated me! Thanks brother!
for the salvage data, in most cases you can just walk over them and pick them without using your multitool, in some cases those even fly in the air...
OMG, this guy plays so smart! His tips are really quick and helpful! But honestly, some of them you can just skip and play the game your own way. They might not be super effective, but it’s all about your own journey
I've been playing since launch and a pro tip to starting a new game id give is that you spawn facing your ship every time
Wild... 5.0 Worlds update just came out. I didn't play the game for a couple weeks prior, and when checking out the update, I couldn't really tell much of a difference.
But then watching this video, wow I did not realize how barren planets looked until I saw how lush and detailed they are now. And the lighting... What a huge upgrade.
I thought the planets already looked really beautiful and diverse and had a lot going on, but now.... holy shiz, Hello Games. What a leap.
Finally to the point where I can actually make a solar panels and teleporters and I'm at least creating one small base on each planet and every solar system so like right now I've got three bases I'm going to have a fourth here soon just kind of spending a couple of hours on each planet I'm at the story part where it wants me to do like the the new solar system so I'll probably do that after I make my 4th base cuz there's only four planets in my current solar system and I'll just kind of casually go from there and see what that has to offer it's so cool landing on new planets they're so vastly different from each other than usually
Haven’t started the game yet and came here, sounds like a whole different language to me 🥴😂
Love this tutorial, I get a little lost on what’s the main focus? Like what’s the main objective, what makes me a seasoned player ? Any advice ?
Just jumped galaxies, no spoilers
Units and nanites. Just play the game. You'll have move than you will ever need by just playing the game. I've never struggled to get nanites or units. I've never farmer them. Just get scanner upgrades. Scan get units and nanites while playing the game. I've hardly touched the quest line and I have over a billion units and 250K nanites just doing the guests at the space stations as I go. You get rep for free stuff getting you more nanites and units.
Returning player after taking a break for a couple years. Very Helpful video. Thank you. Would love to see you make more tips/guides videos.
Used your Freighter guide and got an S-Class Pirate Dreadnought on the SECOND TRY! I feel like the most lucky Traveler in the universe!
I just started this game. Like rn and omg. There’s SO MUCH
I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention surveying and deep mineral deposits. A C-class dioxite mineral extractor will totally eliminate life support as a problem for you to worry about, forever, and you can refine the surplus into ferrite dust or sell it. A C-class activated indium extractor will passively(!) earn tens of thousands of units per hour, or hundreds of thousands over the course of a day (and this can be significantly improved by building multiple extractors on the same deposit). Many other substances can also be automatically mined in this fashion. Obviously, S-class deposits are significantly better, but they're also a pain to find.
New player here, this was extremely thorough and informative. Thanks dude!
If you’re new or struggling I highly recommend the Discord!!! the community is one of the most active I’ve ever been apart of, not to mention a lot of these no man’s sky streamer are also apart of these groups
I think most people forget you can change the difficulty settings to emulate any level of difficulty/realism you see fit. If you’re gonna let some random player drop you millions/billions then you might as well just give yourself a strong start with cheats and then play legit thereafter.
Definitely gonna use this when I decide to buy it!
I'm hoping your ship can be heavily customised to look completely different and epic. The Sentinel ships look so much cooler and was gonna nab one for myself as well but seeing as they use their own completely custom tech that relies on materials from that kind of system only it doesn't seem viable. I'm hoping/assuming the real intention is to work on the same one ship to work on and improve it till it becomes an absolute beast that looks exactly how you want it to.
When I first started. Whenever I collected anything that was “junk” I just threw away. Now I’m a freaking pack rat
Jet boosting , amazing tip for early gameplay , THANK YOU
watched the whole video! I love your vids. I would like to see a playthrough of this game. Your voice is quite soothing
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
36:45 It's worth mentioning that clearing all the sentinals by deactivating them at the sentinal pillar resets once you leave the system. I ported away to my base to do some stuff and returned to farm the interceptor ships, but now the planet is covered in stupid sentinals again and I don't have another boundary map :(:(:(
Thanks for the insights. I think I will start playing this again. It's been about 5 years since I last played this game.
just this 1 video has shown me easiest way to embrace the game TY
Whoa, what an intense yet useful pack of info about the game! Thanks a lot. I now get how massively I screwed up the main quests. I didn't craft like ANY of those orbs, but Atlas let me down through the quest line anyway. Curious. 🤔
What is that black ship with purple trails you are using and how can I get it?
I bought this game day 1. Got 60hrs of gameplay. 7 years later, oh man this is cool
Thanks a lot for all the tips and tricks! Just started the game some days ago and I'm so hooked, all those infos will help a lot! (played NMS on release for some months but never got back at it until Worlds 1.0)
UA-cam dropped my sub to your channel. Glad to see you didn't just fade away.
Massive game now so really appreciate this intro. It helps a lot.
I've never even touched this game before. Strongly considering trying it out now
Just started NMS again after many years not pklaying it, this guide is gold for lost returned players like me
I'm addicted to this game. My job yelled at me for calling off to binge lol.
It's one of the greatest. My list is Ark,NMS,Subnautica
Just saying probably shouldn't call off to play a game haha but I get it I've wanted to so many times but making a living is more important.
I’m all for it but you don’t have to tell them lol 😂
@@austinstoner1988 nms, subnautica, rocket league, helldivers 2. Gotta get some multiplayer games for the boys.
I take vacation for games people at work like where you going tell em some random place 😂
I just got it on sale, I had it when it first came out but after a few hundred hours I got bored. It looks like they’ve put so so much tlc into this since
Thank you! i got 100 hours in yet still many tips i find useful! wish my game looked this good hehe, gotta play with lowest graphics :(
Friendly Heads Up:
Dog fighting doesn't work in star field. Regardless of dodging or not moving at all, you will always take
3-6 hits. No fun in that play style, once you see it for yourself.
Hm..... A lot of these i fell into doing (basics) when I started playing recently. The copper mining one, I didn't even know there was a bigger radius for, probably because the default size is small on switch XD (best way to mine on switch is single trigger pull, gives you more presice control, keeps the lag down)
I stumbled into a Dreadnaught fight, but didn't know to blast her engines, she got away. Knowing my luck, it was A or S class lmao. I was just glad to actually beat one. Now I know I can take one over, I'll keep my eyes out for them.
I've taken to naming the paradise planets I find (but not the others) but I noticed that if I only scan a planet, and don't land on it, it's name changes if I return to that system. Is that normal? Are names (default generated ones) specific to your save if you don't use 'rename and upload' or 'upload'?
Idk for sure, but I think that you get less of the material with the larger radius. I say that because despite taking out a larger chunk, the numbers on the side seem to be the same. Meaning you are still getting the same number of copper per shot, even though you are making more of the deposite disappear with each shot.
You want a "perfect start" in No Man's Sky? Quickly progress in the story until you get access to the anomaly (multiplayer portal) and go hang out there for a while. Eventually someone will come along, notice you're new, and dump items into your inventory worth MILLIONS of credits. This will be more than enough for you to go find a ship, at an outpost or starbase, you love and buy it from the NPC pilot. The community of NMS is awesome and loves helping out new players.
Thank u 👍🏻 Watched the whole thing 🎉
Not gunna play this but love watching your videos!!!!
I was just about to buy this game, glad i watched this first. The game got a reality check. It looks like a huge grind/farm party just to have some fun.
Well, you can hunt pirates in Space, or become a pirat, you can take base buidling to great hights, you can be the commander of a fleet of huge cargo ships, you can have your personal zoo, you can go on regular missions with other players, you can build your own ships, you can spezialise on tracking animal live, you can do whatever you want to. But in the beginning, there's much grinding going on, right.
@sebastianschneider2881 thanks 👍, that sounds great. I'm still considering buying it. But I'm kind of waiting for Light no fire.
@@EverythingWasGreat I understand. And you don't want to play two similar games at the same time. I'll face that situation next year when Light My Fire comes out. I've already spent way too much time on alien planets instead of being in the real world.
really appreciate it bro, helped me a lot watched thru it all and it was absolutely worth it
This game feels like Animal Crossing on drugs
Just as I was thinking of playing no man sky again!
Bro threw away SO MUCH rusted metal💀
Watched the whole video hoping you’d tell us how to get the character cosmetics and staff 😭 I see them in every video but I can’t find anything on the internet on how to get them
They’re from omega expedition. Showed it during the expedition part of the video. Currently the expedition is finished but new ones should drop soon
Made it to the end. Very helpful video. Returning to play after the Worlds update like many others.
Legendary video
Positron Ejector is still an amazing Starship weapon and I find it easier to use than Infra knife for deleting enemy ships.
well done man. Almost the entire video had things that were useful
Should have touched on ship building. It's so easy now to get an S class. And a S class with the look you want. Before you could get them, and it could be a nightmare looking one that you just can't use it's so ugly.
Great guide, you answered a lot of questions I has and gave useful tips
58 minute of "Beginner guide"
as good as NMS is we have to universally agree that early game make your PP soft
I did the purge mission in the middle of the atlas quest a few days ago, resumed the atlas quest normally after selecting the first option
If you don't see the quest after warping talk to polo on the anomaly
Easy way to make millions of credits
1. Find crashed ship
2. Repair thrusters only
3. Fly it to space station
4. Sell the whole thing for between 1.5-3million units
5. Repeat forever
I do this all the time and its really fun. Now I found an A-class fighter and made it my new ship. The only "costs" I had were the required materials to unlock the slots occupied by broken components.
Great video thanks. I just picked up the game . Where you salvaged the ships is it worth keeping any of them if your new and only have the starting ship ?
Also new here, I found it wasn't worth trying to find the resources to repair crashed ships. Easier to sell it and save to buy that same ship in your current system.
get as many ships as you can find. you can keep up to 10 at a time. sell the rest, or scrap fighters, haulers and explorers for parts to build your own ship
Not unless you find one you really like or want parts of it you really want (and then use at the ship builder to make your own). I would use the "interceptor" unit farming method to get one and make my primary, and aim for S class. Or use No Mans Sky Coordinate Exchange (google it) for guaranteed S classess. I'll cover more unique discoveries soon
@@ML4wr3nc3 how do you get the ship back up to sell it if you don't repair it ?
Thank you very much. I watched it all and will probably rewatch 3 more times :)
one of the best PSvr2 games, best way to play it...
Great video, Thanks mate!
As many times as I have started a new game I have actually never had a paradise planet in the first system. And usually I have to go a few just to find one.
It took me whole 10 days to realize the anomaly has all the recipes to unlock new stuff.. I thought the only way to beome more recipes was doing these annoying quests until i saw it.. There is a lot in this game you wish it would tell you things like this..
Great video! I needed it!

I've been a long time subscriber and I wanted to say thank you for all your hard work Kraze. 🙏
I mainly play Start Citizen for 3/4 last years but i needed something new still in the SF / Spacesphip genre. I bought this game yesterday and try to watch some videos, but you're probably the one with the more tips, very pedagogue and pleasant to watch. Thanks you, you puted lot of time in it. There is many small mechanics that the game don't really teach.
