Started the game the other day and was so lost. I was doing so many things wrong and fumbling my way in the dark. This video taught me so much, unlike other beginner's guides out there that are talking like they're talking to veteran players.. rhis one treats you like the noob you are and is thus truly helpful.
Just keep in mind that you can't reclaim your ship for free anymore if you exchange it. Best way to make early game money imo is attacking freighters in outlaw systems for smuggled goods or by doing system to system trading, which you can do after the few mil you get from the first ship scrap from the story.
As an endgame player i must say for all the beginners: enjoy the voyage and dont rush for all these credits. For myself, i have now so much money that i cant even buy anything i dont have already and it gets very boring now...
yea and by endgame you mean 20 minutes after you start. this game has 0 content disguised by a bunch of shiny shit to distract people from the 8 planets duplicated 900 billion times. the same scanned object just with different pointy spikes than the planet before. never will understand why people hype this up so much
@@Tat2dTroll69Not certain what tree you have fallen off pal, but there are many grinds toward various areas/accolades, should you decide to pursue them. Clearly the title was not for you, as you did not explore far enough, which is fine as it’s not a one size fits all, but misinformation is a thing you know…Just a heads-up :)
I wouldn't call this a "beginners guide" but more of a "restart guide" Having only a couple hours into the game, most of what was said was over my head! However, I can see the value in the content and can't wait until it all makes sense
43:20 - you can attack those supply depots on the ground ... use your terrain modification tool to dig a tunnel... shoot the depot up, then go into the tunnel and wait for the sentinels to time out.
Just installed the game last night, got lost, stuck and stranded last night . This Video taught me way more in an hour than me spending hours looking for a copper deposit. Thank you so much🤩
i havent played maybe roughly around 2 years and recently came back legitimately with a brand new save. This was good, thanks for this. I try to shy away from guides like these to make life/grinding a tad more easier because it ruins the journey for me. Having everything right off the bat, makes it TOO easy. But with limited time now and i can feel my progress getting slower, i forgot most of the shit i knew back then lmao. So here i am
I would say, add the Base Overseer as early as you can. The overseer actually gives you lots of essential base blueprints, saving your hunt for salvaged data.
I realised this the hard way, I tore apart an entire planet for enough salvage data to research everything, then a couple days later I decided to check out that overseer thingy and it started trying to give me blueprints 💀💀💀
Been away for about 6 months, Lots of changes and things that I have just plain forgot about. Thanks so much for your presentation of the basics w/o giving up the plot and adventuring. This is a great game and as an old subscriber... It is nice to hear you again! Well Done!
So I was skeptical since I've seen many "the best tips" for No Mans Sky and I have to say this actually was "the best" thanks for all the info... I'm about to start a new game using all this new information.
PSA at 52:45 DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT create a save point at the space station where the pirate attack is at. It looks like they fixed it. If you happen to create a save point at a space station and your next warp is a pirate attack, use that as your reload point. It sucks having to attack all the pirates again but I just learned that you can’t do that little glitch anymore
I started this game last week and got immersed in it very quickly. Doing things the hard way of course but your guide was very helpful. I do enjoy a slow and steady pace so may not farm too hard but I do have 7 ships to scrap and hopefully jump to getting S class shop and multi tool in the next couple days. Oh and the freighter, I needed that lesson cause I’m missing all the opportunities to get one for free.
If it's just for nanites and you don't care for the discoveries you might as well just click the button to upload all. That includes all discoveries like flora, fauna, minerals and locations. Quicker than just clicking everything individually. Also when crafting in your inventory ... You don't have to craft one material and then craft more. You can press a button and instantly craft multiple. Button depends on your system so just take a look at the little tooltip.
you actually dont even need the terrain manipulator for most of the buried technology modules. just get as close as possible and you can loot them. this also works with other containers like the storage at crashed freighter sites
I've been playing this game for years and I didn't know half of the things I saw in this video. The game is truly massive and there's really no penalty for not knowing something other than certain things just taking longer. The game is yours to do whatever you want. Great video!
I quit Elite Dangerous when Odyssey came out, long story short I have no desire to get back into it. But I started playing NMS, still in the tutorial solar system. Then I looked up NMS beginner tips, and found your video and got all my memories that I had watching your ED videos! Keep it up, mate! o7
This has been one of the most remarkable videos I have watched so far. I've done a lot of watching my son play this game probably twelve hundred hours. I will soon also be playing this game. In this video right here it was actually really essential. It's actually pretty amazing. Thank you so much for this video. Happy space travels to everyone.
I'm planning to return to the game soon after being away for a few updates and I really appreciated this as a good refresher of what the progression looks like as well as all the tips and tricks I didn't know. Thanks, man!
Just bought this game. This might be a beginner tutorial, but all the way through it I'm like "uhhh... wut?" lol. This is going to take a while to master I think. Thanks for posting, so much knowledge.
A method I use for gathering larval cores is to just run around the building 3 to 4 times, nabbing 1 core per patch until you get them all. Avoid obstacles and stay moving, and the horrors won't get you. And the best thing is that you don't have to waste time digging annoying trenches.
In addition to this, if you're willing to spend the extra time you could also pick only 1~2 cores and fight them until they despawn then repeat, you can easily get an extra million on the materials they drop. Pulse Spitter works fantastically for this method.
I really enjoyed my 150hr virgin play-through last year. No glitches. Just started a new save Monday, it’s been so nice harnessing the extreme power of exploits to create and explore on an entire new level.
@@wheelerzg76 Umm, well, it's only my second day playing it, so can't really tell you anything of value here, so take my words with a grain of salt. I'm having a lot of fun, that's for certain. Just got my ship and started a bit of flying around and exploring. What I've noticed immediately is that "space mechanics" are just an absolute oversimplification in comparison to Elite (Movement, Speed, Distance & Loop of Shame, Landing-gear, Permission to land are basically redundant. Also, you don't have to pay attention to ship's power, weight, heat and whether or not you have packed the fkn fuel scoop). Pirates also are no threat at all, at least on normal... Id describe it as Fallout 4 with simple space travel. You can buy it on the internet for around $15 so for that price, I'd definitely give it a go.
My God, I just started this game and asked my friends how to buy tech upgrades for me suit as it always gives me inventory slots and they said you had to get all inventory slots first and then it will do tech. They had been playing ages too. Thanks for that tip, probably the most underrated tip of the video honestly.
I just started playing this again after a very long time. And one thing that made the game 100x more fun for me is that you can adjust the game settings to be exactly how you want and it's very customizable. Find it annoying that your character can only run a few meters before getting winded? Relax or remove the limit. Enjoy the game but find it too grindy or maybe you don't have enough time? Set resources to abundant! etc Personally those are the two settings I changed. And I believe a few more. Made combat more challenging, and also the survival stuff. But made it so that I have abundant resources (which does make survival a lot easier early game despite raising the difficulty there because generally you always have sodium for your hazard systems etc due to abundant resources..) The abundant resources also make the planets feel a lot less empty. I absolutely love the new biospheres they added, the fluorescent stuff esp
@@Wonderful_Wizard No. Unless there are specific achievements for playing on highest difficulty or something. But all other achievements'/trophies should work.
I found it boring when resources are too easy. Survival mode is far more satisfying for me which is strange because I never play fallout on survival mode
@@dgage1776 With me it's the reverse. If a game starts actively hindering my relaxation, I actually get MORE stressed, and then miss feeds, sleep, and work trying to force success out of something that was not only no longer fun, but actively hurting me.
Excellent tips in this video, thanks a bunch. Though for me the space station didn’t spawn until the quest chain was at the point where it sends you to it. This was on Xbox. Also I got nothing but nanites out of any damaged machinery I opened and the space station didn’t sell any exotic materials. So money making was sure not as easy as in the video.
The only thing I don't like, for a new player, is buying a new ship and getting your old one back for free. It's an exploit that allows you to get too much money and nanites early game. For a new player, I would suggest using the emergency maps and finding crashed ships and scrapping those. It's slower, but seems like less of an exploit when you're first starting.
Duplicating crops and elements with gases seems to be a backdoor for newbies also. That’s kind of a legal dup glitch. They must move this option under a difficulty settings.
Yea I agree I started to play this game 2 weeks ago and I was so excited with all the content. But finding out about all the glitches you can do on this game kinda ruin it for me. This ship trading glitch where you get your ship back for free and even worse the dup glitch using a portable refinery, where you can duplicate ANY item (even in stacks) is insane, Just got my freighter and so excited building my farms and refinery so i dont have to farm resources as much. Finding out that you can just pretty much duplicate any item in the game with ease kinda ruins the fun of building farms/refinery and even manually farming resources. I mean what the point just duplicate sell and you unlimited resources. I know I can choose not to use it but knowing that this exists it ruins the immersion for me. I pretty much lost interest playing which is sad
I haven't played this game in over a year now. Your video made me want to jump back in and see all the new stuff that has been added. Your suggestions are great and I plan on following this video step by step. Thanks and keep up the great work!
i've never played NMS and im watching this, and its absolutely hilarious the gibberish going on. im just smiling and nodding like 'yeah that sounds good, i'd do that too'
When using the terrain manipulator, though it is true the smallest bubble is best for mining ore, for those of you who fuel the beam with Silicate, the large bubble gulps way more for your inventory. So remember when you run out, the large bubble will dupe a dozen silicate worth of fuel into 1000 silicate in your inventory to use for fuel. then switch back to the tiny bubble for mining ore.
Heads up, you can still buy Oxygen from Gt’s and pilots, it’s just hidden behind one of the new difficulty etc... options. Navigate to your game settings and change your Purchases option to Standard, I believe (first option) by default it starts on a harder option. Thanks for the video HG, as always it’s very informative with a touch of that HG humour 😁
@@jeffreyramsaur796 I want to say No but I’m not 100% sure on that. Only assuming but I would think changing the settings would only change the speed of getting those achievements/trophies. I haven’t logged on for a few weeks (RL first right) but if I get a chance I will research this more and get back to you ok 👍 Unless someone beats me to it or it gets answered. Happy Planet hopping 💯
This is the best No Mans Sky video guide on youtube. The ships money thing is patched but the rest of the things in this video provide very solid fundamentals. I really do wish you made a guide for the new Interceptor update. Do you have amything planned?
Bro I have to say, your video has helped me more than any other video on the starting aspect. I got the game the other day and just got to the anomaly multiplayer bit and there was so much i could have done more to get a good foothold in general, I’m gunna start a new save and use your tips, thanks 😁
Yeah man, I bought the game and left the first planet and went to the space station and got totally lost, didn't know what to do, and hung the game up for a few months. Watching this has given me a much better path to follow so I can get my sea legs about me
I mostly remember rushing economy scanner then get teleport to 3 lvl 3 planets the just economy crashing with sodium over and over, but think they limited that?
This is my first video of yours I have watched. Rarely comment on videos, but I just have to say. Love your personality! Had me laughing and smiling multiple times throughout the video
I'm only about five hours in, and already super frustrated with this game. I've probably watched more videos on how to play the game, than actually playing it so far. The drops you are getting are amazing! I've only seen one S class mod, and it was totally out of my price range. I'll keep grinding because it really looks fun, once I can actually be competitive. And I don't want to totally b*tch out. Your videos have helped a lot. Much appreciated.
Just wanted to say thanks for your detailed walkthrough. Just started playing so I'm still trying to understand the mechanics but this video is a big help
In my opinion ,when you start doing exploits this to save time , essentially skipping whole parts of the game with glichtes you might aswell just use cheat engine to buy everything you like , and its even faster.
I started a new game the other day. I just love the begning of the game. I spent a few minutes running around and found both a s scanner with all 3 types and a movement S. It made the start very easy. Had almost a mil credits at the second planet
The big arrow pointing up next to the list of Star systems will upload all your pending discoveries at once... Was doing them one by one and just happened to notice it.. useful
If anyone made the mistake of talking to one of the booth workers and can't talk to them now; hop in your ship create a restore point and just reload the point. Worked for me :)
So the whole time I was listening I thought your voice reminded me of someone. There's a character in F is for Family who works at the competing airport to Franks. You sound almost exactly like him. Fun stuff. Great video, very helpful to a noob like me.
started playing a couple weeks ago, 60 hours in and i havent nearly gotten this far lmao. Playing in vr and just warping to different planets and exploring really takes up most of my time
I plan on buying this game tomorrow for my PS5 and it’s only $30 until the end of August. I also have a PSVR2 so I’m excited to try this game in VR…I hear mixed reactions from the VR version…many people say it’s ok but blurry. Maybe they will patch it someday hopefully. Thanks for the very helpful video. It’s going to come in handy 👍🏻
I’ll be honest just returned in the new update today and started new game and it’s still easy to get oxygen just find a few spots for your miner and you can literally have a ton in the suppliers. I literally log on and I’ve got like 30000 oxygen farmer for me and the auto miners are great
Sorry to be negative after your significant efforts, but you should preface your videos with a clear statement that they are based on EXPLOITS - doing so would prevent new players from wasting their time and becoming frustrated when the exploits are patched out. Regardless, thank you for taking the time to present this.
35:07 dude. Thats exactly what happened to me the first time. I didnt realize at the time how much it would kill the immersion of tje early grind for me.
im a new player and the start of the vid was awesome, but half way there everything go crazy 🤣 by the end i was lost for ever 😂 for now im just gonna chill and play it simple. then when im gonna be hungry for more money and S class flying city ill check this vid again 👍
Well dang ol' No Man's Sky, man, I tell ya what, it's like, you know, you're out there in them galaxies, just explorin' and stuff. Got them planets and stars, and it's like, "Whoa, dog gone, man, this is some wild stuff, I tell ya."
Quick tip: rather than repair the ship, travel back to a portal you've made hop out of your ship then reload then you can summon the broken ship right to you, hop in it to transfer the ship you're in command of and then go straight to the space atation via the portal. Voila, no need to repair the broken ship.
Very nice. Tnxs for the video. Don't forget that you can also buy maps from the Cartographer for Drop Pods that give one free Exosuit upgrade. Give thee Nav Data for 1 guaranteed map. I also know of a spot that I can buy 77 Nav Data at a time at -%30.x market value.
Hands down the best guide on YT right now, however even if I fckn love the way you talk and the content in this video, I really struggle to keep up with the pace sometimes as a non native English speaker
WOW, I am attracted to this game because of its uniqueness and awesome graphics, but being a fairly new gamer, I can see it's a bit more complicated or demanding than I think I am capable of dealing with right now but I will keep it on my wish list for later. Thanks for the info!
Don't be afraid to dip your toes in and give it a try. Play on a lower difficulty at first and take your time, and don't feel rushed to complete the storylines. You can pretty much make the game as difficult or as easy as you want.
One of the many truly impressive things about Now Man's Sky is that it truly is as difficult or easy as you want it to be. That said, the "normal" game setting (which can be customized) offers a story/ quest driven tutorial that shows exactly what you need to do to survive - provided you take the time to read its instructions carefully. I do encourage you too give it a try, but please don't remove all challenge or you'll spoil it for yourself
Adding more encouragement to just jump in and try it out. As mentioned, the tutorial does a pretty good job (better than most games) of showing you what you need to know... IF you read what it's telling you.
it's a bit more complicated than this video makes it out to be actually. this guy is just exploiting his way through the playthrough and getting money cap with ease. you're not supposed to be able to buy your ship back for free infinitely while scrapping.
With total randomness, no specific world. Found a Sclass multi tool very early and also a royal one. By going to sentinel pillars. First freighter.... B class. Sweet ^^. And have a solar ship that i will upgrade to S class all the way. How to get easy nanites: explore and scan all fauna in planets, completing it you can claim thousands of nanites (underground fauna is extremely annoying to get tho beware). Farm sentinels to get modules and sell them. Ez money: gravitino orbs, ancien bones, storm crystals (with a environmental shield ofc) and some of theses ancien modules. Will do the trick to get money fast early. Later, you can craft expensive items with farms.
Bad Advice in a number of areas... but I am glad you wish to provide help to the newer players. There are things you are advising which are simply not good advice for new players. Eg. Slime. Slime was added as a path to nanites more as a teaching tool, or a joke, than as an option to actually gain nanites. They made it refine very slowly and to require large numbers to reach even a small number of nanites, while occupying multiple inventory slots along the way, to teach players not to hoard. In the time it takes to refine even Living Slime to mold and then to nanites, for 15 of nanites, you can reach and loot a broken machine on the average planet for more than double that on average, and using 0 inventory slots. And silver and gold?? Advise them NOT to keep them, but to Sell them to the NPCs, then buy the condensed form (dirty bronze, argonium, lemmium, magnogold) and expand those in a refiner to sell the resulting metals for more than the condensed for costs. Selling them and buying the compressed version makes money... and those compressed forms are always available in the tier 2 systems, so when you actually need them for base building, you can just buy some and expand them, then sell what you don't use to reclaim some of the cost... either way you've made money over hoarding and using the metals you found. .... Money(units) and Nanites on a new save are a simple thing. Come up with enough nanites for Ship Teleporter to unlock, and to buy Economy Scanner. Once they have that, units and nanites are a trivial matter. They can simply locate a Pirate system to have unlimited access to each. Either by reclaiming stolen goods by attacking the pirate-system freighters, or buying stolen goods from the vendor in the stationh.... and selling them in normal systems for huge profits. And buying up that NPC's crates for (Tech) and (Arms), opening them and selling the resulting upgrades to the NPC in the next stall, for thousands of nanites. -- Best practices for a fresh game, without cheats. You need enough nanites to get Ship Teleporter and Economy Scanner. Advance as quickly and directly as you can to reaching the Anomaly. ... where you immediately buy the Ship Teleporter to unlock Economy Scanner, and buy that. Install that, and head back to your first base. Select the base mission and complete it, making a storage container... ... into which you empty your ship's inventory, keeping only some star shields, or some sodium (in case of emergencies). Use the base teleporter to get to a station, and head out and warp... to the nearest Pirate system. Where you buy all of the contraband you can afford, then head out to start busting the cargo nodes on the freighters in the system. Avoid the frigates entirely, so you take No negative faction hits. As to the freighters' defenses, you learn quickly where they are located, and how to aim above them to hit them, and can do so while still shielded from their attacks. So you can eliminate their defenses before being shot. Once you run out of freighters, point into empty space and pulse for about 10 seconds. Stop, and wait. After a few seconds, a fresh group of freighters will warp in. Don't attack until they stop warping in frigates, or you'll cause them to all warp back out. As you pop the storage modules on them, another fleet typically shows up nearby... and you can empty those as well. Either way, when you run out of them, point into space and pulse another 10 seconds to get new ones. Check your ship's inventory every now and then, to be sure you aren't full up. Once you get closer, or just don't feel like destroying any more pirates' lifves... head back to the station, warp to your baes, and on to a normal station and sell it all. You will have enough for a massively better ship, an S-class multi-tool (or the best you've found so far) and will be able to go back to the pirate system to buy them out of tech and arms upgrades to sell for nanites. Warping to another Pirate system gives you more nanite production... Buy any B or better-clacss fighter and you can plow through the freighters in the pirate system of your choice quickly if you ever run short on either units or nanites. Better yet, even a C-class interceptor, decked out with Photon Cannon upgrades (apply to the sentinel ship cannons) which can hover in place to make it even easier/faster. At that point, you have no concern at all for units or nanites. You could spend 2 hours farming and have all of them you'll ever need in a save (you'll need more time for the nanites simply because they don't restock that fast, but any pirate system works to provide more of them. They are never empty, the species, star color, and economy rating are all irrelevant. Black Market is the economy in every Pirate system and they all stock the upgrade crates.
I installed this game a couple of updates ago and hadn't got back into it sicne then. I got to the space station in not too long, but watching your tutorial is super helpful and funny! I think i'll restart and follow your guide. Thanks!
I found a b class ship on the ringed planet in the beginning of the game. Have a lot of things to fix on it. Worth about 32mil if i recall right. Built my second base right next to it with transporter with it so i can sell my ship, teliport back with everything on hand to fix it and get me a bigger ship with aloy more worth to it.
@HawkesGaming - This vid is still relevant as of June 2023 but you should edit out the no cost ship trade bug that was fixed - maybe just rerecord the voice over - and for the making money section you should just link to your other video on farming oceans for O2. Also you might want to go over economy crashing as well, it still works once you find the O2 source.
Any "Inventory Management" tips on how to keep it nice and empty, what to hold on to, what materials can always be sold, etc, would be great; it's the issue that seems to constantly be holding me back, my suit & ship inventory is always full!
like you said, EVERY Nanite you can get counts, if you dont want to multistage refine the slime into Nanites in the beginning , at least stock up on the slimes for when you build a refiner farm. Also if youre already well off on credits and need Nanites you can find Larval Cores, ( 10 refines to 500 Nanites) and same with the Hadal Cores. You can buy both but its expensive. Larval Cores are found on the abandoned outposts with the creature nests.
The scripted storm while getting that hermetic seal. Don't even have to leave the ship. It will trigger a couple minutes after you get the location marker. It'll only produce the one storm, so you can just wait it out then head there without fear of the hazardous storm. Still not a big fan of Waypoint. Permadeath is my primary game play when new updates arrive. I went from having 90 seconds with a full hazard protection at the start to having almost 4 and a half minutes it was like a slap to the face and I made sure that all settings were as difficult as possible. Least setting the game to expensive was painful, double and sometimes triple the cost to buy upgrades and ships. Build and repair costs didn't change though.
Korvax know how to party. The first thing your science officer hooks you up with is Acid and Lubricant. In fact.... Pretty sure I saw him Bonnaroo. He was in some electronic band called Daft Punk.
For wiring, it doesn’t matter what you connect to what, as long as the entire grid is connected it will all work. You generally want 2 solar panels per battery per 50kps used.

Just to save someone the pain and loss, they patched the ship rebuy "mechanic" so it no longer can function as a money printer.
😭
Started a brand new save and found this out the hard way. Doing a "no glitch" save. Man this is rough, money is rough to get in game now.
Instead, do pirating. Pirating is insanely strong early game. Easy couple tens of millions in a few minutes.
@metalsnake27 what is that?
REALY wish I read the comments before trying that....

Sure wish this was pinned so I read it first, guess ill be waiting another day to try
Shiiiiit lol guess I gotta warp 5 more times lol
I started this game last week and got immersed in it very quickly. Doing things the hard way of course but your guide was very helpful. I do enjoy a slow and steady pace so may not farm too hard but I do have 7 ships to scrap and hopefully jump to getting S class shop and multi tool in the next couple days. Oh and the freighter, I needed that lesson cause I’m missing all the opportunities to get one for free.

If it's just for nanites and you don't care for the discoveries you might as well just click the button to upload all. That includes all discoveries like flora, fauna, minerals and locations. Quicker than just clicking everything individually.
Also when crafting in your inventory ...
You don't have to craft one material and then craft more. You can press a button and instantly craft multiple. Button depends on your system so just take a look at the little tooltip.
Where is this button on playstation?

@@Zoidberg420 press r1 and l1 at the same time and it lets you make multiple at a time jus press r1 to add more
^This^ is what I came to point out.
you actually dont even need the terrain manipulator for most of the buried technology modules. just get as close as possible and you can loot them. this also works with other containers like the storage at crashed freighter sites
I've been playing this game for years and I didn't know half of the things I saw in this video. The game is truly massive and there's really no penalty for not knowing something other than certain things just taking longer. The game is yours to do whatever you want. Great video!
I quit Elite Dangerous when Odyssey came out, long story short I have no desire to get back into it. But I started playing NMS, still in the tutorial solar system. Then I looked up NMS beginner tips, and found your video and got all my memories that I had watching your ED videos! Keep it up, mate! o7
This has been one of the most remarkable videos I have watched so far. I've done a lot of watching my son play this game probably twelve hundred hours. I will soon also be playing this game. In this video right here it was actually really essential. It's actually pretty amazing. Thank you so much for this video. Happy space travels to everyone.
Ive been playing this game for almost 200 hours and I didnt even know you could select which exosuit slot you wanted to add XD Thanks so much!
I'm planning to return to the game soon after being away for a few updates and I really appreciated this as a good refresher of what the progression looks like as well as all the tips and tricks I didn't know. Thanks, man!
Just bought this game. This might be a beginner tutorial, but all the way through it I'm like "uhhh... wut?" lol.
This is going to take a while to master I think.
Thanks for posting, so much knowledge.
A method I use for gathering larval cores is to just run around the building 3 to 4 times, nabbing 1 core per patch until you get them all. Avoid obstacles and stay moving, and the horrors won't get you. And the best thing is that you don't have to waste time digging annoying trenches.
In addition to this, if you're willing to spend the extra time you could also pick only 1~2 cores and fight them until they despawn then repeat, you can easily get an extra million on the materials they drop. Pulse Spitter works fantastically for this method.
I really enjoyed my 150hr virgin play-through last year. No glitches. Just started a new save Monday, it’s been so nice harnessing the extreme power of exploits to create and explore on an entire new level.
I started this game recently and was so confused on what to do or where to do. This is by far the best and most informative video for beginners ever.
even as someone with 1000+ hours in NMS I find these guides useful. Great stuff as always Hawkes Gaming!
As this game has afew modes. Which are multiplayer?
@@valdez19kilo I’m pretty sure all modes are multiplayer
@@thenordguy2001 oh okay well that makes it easy then. Thanks
Oh, Hawkes, you magnificent bastard, I'm just starting to play NMS, tanking a break from Elite. Jeez, this is awesome, thanks for the guide dude!
should I do the same? I'm Explorer Elite *** and looking for something new, at least for a while
@@wheelerzg76 Umm, well, it's only my second day playing it, so can't really tell you anything of value here, so take my words with a grain of salt. I'm having a lot of fun, that's for certain. Just got my ship and started a bit of flying around and exploring. What I've noticed immediately is that "space mechanics" are just an absolute oversimplification in comparison to Elite (Movement, Speed, Distance & Loop of Shame, Landing-gear, Permission to land are basically redundant. Also, you don't have to pay attention to ship's power, weight, heat and whether or not you have packed the fkn fuel scoop). Pirates also are no threat at all, at least on normal... Id describe it as Fallout 4 with simple space travel. You can buy it on the internet for around $15 so for that price, I'd definitely give it a go.
My God, I just started this game and asked my friends how to buy tech upgrades for me suit as it always gives me inventory slots and they said you had to get all inventory slots first and then it will do tech. They had been playing ages too.
Thanks for that tip, probably the most underrated tip of the video honestly.
Hawkes Gaming. Your New Player Beginners Guides are the best made on UA-cam.
I just started playing this again after a very long time. And one thing that made the game 100x more fun for me is that you can adjust the game settings to be exactly how you want and it's very customizable. Find it annoying that your character can only run a few meters before getting winded? Relax or remove the limit. Enjoy the game but find it too grindy or maybe you don't have enough time? Set resources to abundant! etc
Personally those are the two settings I changed. And I believe a few more. Made combat more challenging, and also the survival stuff. But made it so that I have abundant resources (which does make survival a lot easier early game despite raising the difficulty there because generally you always have sodium for your hazard systems etc due to abundant resources..)
The abundant resources also make the planets feel a lot less empty. I absolutely love the new biospheres they added, the fluorescent stuff esp
I just hope that godawful split-colour effect is gone, that made me dizzy
Does changing any of the game settings disable achievements? 🤔
@@Wonderful_Wizard No. Unless there are specific achievements for playing on highest difficulty or something. But all other achievements'/trophies should work.
I found it boring when resources are too easy. Survival mode is far more satisfying for me which is strange because I never play fallout on survival mode
@@dgage1776 With me it's the reverse. If a game starts actively hindering my relaxation, I actually get MORE stressed, and then miss feeds, sleep, and work trying to force success out of something that was not only no longer fun, but actively hurting me.
This is the most helpful beginner guide I've ever watched. Thanks for all the tips.
Excellent tips in this video, thanks a bunch. Though for me the space station didn’t spawn until the quest chain was at the point where it sends you to it. This was on Xbox.
Also I got nothing but nanites out of any damaged machinery I opened and the space station didn’t sell any exotic materials. So money making was sure not as easy as in the video.
The only thing I don't like, for a new player, is buying a new ship and getting your old one back for free. It's an exploit that allows you to get too much money and nanites early game. For a new player, I would suggest using the emergency maps and finding crashed ships and scrapping those. It's slower, but seems like less of an exploit when you're first starting.
Same as the drop pod glitch using the green box to repair pod free
Duplicating crops and elements with gases seems to be a backdoor for newbies also. That’s kind of a legal dup glitch. They must move this option under a difficulty settings.
Yea I agree I started to play this game 2 weeks ago and I was so excited with all the content.
But finding out about all the glitches you can do on this game kinda ruin it for me.
This ship trading glitch where you get your ship back for free and even worse the dup glitch using a portable refinery, where you can duplicate ANY item (even in stacks) is insane,
Just got my freighter and so excited building my farms and refinery so i dont have to farm resources as much.
Finding out that you can just pretty much duplicate any item in the game with ease kinda ruins the fun of building farms/refinery and even manually farming resources.
I mean what the point just duplicate sell and you unlimited resources.
I know I can choose not to use it but knowing that this exists it ruins the immersion for me.
I pretty much lost interest playing which is sad
Can you tell me how I can get emergency maps
Will it cant be done anymore cause it just hot patched in the most recent patch notes
I haven't played this game in over a year now. Your video made me want to jump back in and see all the new stuff that has been added. Your suggestions are great and I plan on following this video step by step. Thanks and keep up the great work!
i've never played NMS and im watching this, and its absolutely hilarious the gibberish going on. im just smiling and nodding like 'yeah that sounds good, i'd do that too'
When using the terrain manipulator, though it is true the smallest bubble is best for mining ore, for those of you who fuel the beam with Silicate, the large bubble gulps way more for your inventory. So remember when you run out, the large bubble will dupe a dozen silicate worth of fuel into 1000 silicate in your inventory to use for fuel. then switch back to the tiny bubble for mining ore.
Refuel it in big orb mode and only use it small orb mode for farming. Thank you!
@@TommyOhmalley ggreat tip, i didnt know to refuel it in big mode...
Heads up, you can still buy Oxygen from Gt’s and pilots, it’s just hidden behind one of the new difficulty etc... options. Navigate to your game settings and change your Purchases option to Standard, I believe (first option) by default it starts on a harder option.
Thanks for the video HG, as always it’s very informative with a touch of that HG humour 😁
Does messing with the default settings disable trophies/achievements??
@@jeffreyramsaur796 I want to say No but I’m not 100% sure on that.
Only assuming but I would think changing the settings would only change the speed of getting those achievements/trophies.
I haven’t logged on for a few weeks (RL first right) but if I get a chance I will research this more and get back to you ok 👍
Unless someone beats me to it or it gets answered.
Happy Planet hopping 💯
@@deadclocks5828 ever got an answer? Im currently playing a new game
This is the best No Mans Sky video guide on youtube. The ships money thing is patched but the rest of the things in this video provide very solid fundamentals.
I really do wish you made a guide for the new Interceptor update. Do you have amything planned?
Bro I have to say, your video has helped me more than any other video on the starting aspect. I got the game the other day and just got to the anomaly multiplayer bit and there was so much i could have done more to get a good foothold in general, I’m gunna start a new save and use your tips, thanks 😁
Yeah man, I bought the game and left the first planet and went to the space station and got totally lost, didn't know what to do, and hung the game up for a few months. Watching this has given me a much better path to follow so I can get my sea legs about me
This is totally and completely what I need. Totally and completely thank you
Put about 60 hours in the games 2 or 3 years ago and just now coming back. This video came in clutch
I mostly remember rushing economy scanner then get teleport to 3 lvl 3 planets the just economy crashing with sodium over and over, but think they limited that?
This is my first video of yours I have watched. Rarely comment on videos, but I just have to say. Love your personality! Had me laughing and smiling multiple times throughout the video
I'm only about five hours in, and already super frustrated with this game. I've probably watched more videos on how to play the game, than actually playing it so far. The drops you are getting are amazing! I've only seen one S class mod, and it was totally out of my price range. I'll keep grinding because it really looks fun, once I can actually be competitive. And I don't want to totally b*tch out. Your videos have helped a lot. Much appreciated.
Just wanted to say thanks for your detailed walkthrough. Just started playing so I'm still trying to understand the mechanics but this video is a big help
In my opinion ,when you start doing exploits this to save time , essentially skipping whole parts of the game with glichtes you might aswell just use cheat engine to buy everything you like , and its even faster.
I felt like 5th grader when we used to take field trips and walk with the instructors 😂 good video👌🏽
I started a new game the other day. I just love the begning of the game. I spent a few minutes running around and found both a s scanner with all 3 types and a movement S. It made the start very easy. Had almost a mil credits at the second planet
Heck yeah now that is a really good start!
The big arrow pointing up next to the list of Star systems will upload all your pending discoveries at once... Was doing them one by one and just happened to notice it.. useful
If anyone made the mistake of talking to one of the booth workers and can't talk to them now; hop in your ship create a restore point and just reload the point. Worked for me :)
So the whole time I was listening I thought your voice reminded me of someone. There's a character in F is for Family who works at the competing airport to Franks. You sound almost exactly like him. Fun stuff. Great video, very helpful to a noob like me.
started playing a couple weeks ago, 60 hours in and i havent nearly gotten this far lmao. Playing in vr and just warping to different planets and exploring really takes up most of my time
Another Hawkes best start NMS video for 4.0... All is right with the world... Thanks!
I plan on buying this game tomorrow for my PS5 and it’s only $30 until the end of August. I also have a PSVR2 so I’m excited to try this game in VR…I hear mixed reactions from the VR version…many people say it’s ok but blurry. Maybe they will patch it someday hopefully. Thanks for the very helpful video. It’s going to come in handy 👍🏻
I’ll be honest just returned in the new update today and started new game and it’s still easy to get oxygen just find a few spots for your miner and you can literally have a ton in the suppliers. I literally log on and I’ve got like 30000 oxygen farmer for me and the auto miners are great
1:03:15 -- you can build a save point, you just can't build a save beacon on your freighter. i have mine near the entrance to the command room
A big thank you and shout out bro on the best guideline video 😅😅
14:37 This alone earned a like. How have I played this long without seeing that!?
Sorry to be negative after your significant efforts, but you should preface your videos with a clear statement that they are based on EXPLOITS - doing so would prevent new players from wasting their time and becoming frustrated when the exploits are patched out. Regardless, thank you for taking the time to present this.
this is great! dude sounds like Randall from Clerks, amazing job!
You have NO IDEA how I’ve been playing this game wrong lmao Thanks for the video!
Take a Second.
This man took time out of his life to make this video for our pleasure, Give him a like and a sub. 2024
35:07 dude. Thats exactly what happened to me the first time. I didnt realize at the time how much it would kill the immersion of tje early grind for me.
im a new player and the start of the vid was awesome, but half way there everything go crazy 🤣 by the end i was lost for ever 😂
for now im just gonna chill and play it simple. then when im gonna be hungry for more money and S class flying city ill check this vid again 👍
Well dang ol' No Man's Sky, man, I tell ya what, it's like, you know, you're out there in them galaxies, just explorin' and stuff. Got them planets and stars, and it's like, "Whoa, dog gone, man, this is some wild stuff, I tell ya."
Quick tip: rather than repair the ship, travel back to a portal you've made hop out of your ship then reload then you can summon the broken ship right to you, hop in it to transfer the ship you're in command of and then go straight to the space atation via the portal. Voila, no need to repair the broken ship.
Had the same in mind
Genius!
You can now just summon your ship near the portal
How do I summon a broken ship I claimed ??
can you please explain this better?
I liked the video twice. You are doing the Lord's work.
Very nice. Tnxs for the video. Don't forget that you can also buy maps from the Cartographer for Drop Pods that give one free Exosuit upgrade. Give thee Nav Data for 1 guaranteed map. I also know of a spot that I can buy 77 Nav Data at a time at -%30.x market value.
Tank you so much ,i am don't start the game yet but your tutorial is very cool ... i don't understand many stuff , you go to fast .in time i will ....
game is crazy nice these days. wish it came out like this. woulda been a 9/10 EZ
Hands down the best guide on YT right now, however even if I fckn love the way you talk and the content in this video, I really struggle to keep up with the pace sometimes as a non native English speaker
WOW, I am attracted to this game because of its uniqueness and awesome graphics, but being a fairly new gamer, I can see it's a bit more complicated or demanding than I think I am capable of dealing with right now but I will keep it on my wish list for later. Thanks for the info!
Don't be afraid to dip your toes in and give it a try. Play on a lower difficulty at first and take your time, and don't feel rushed to complete the storylines. You can pretty much make the game as difficult or as easy as you want.
It's pretty simple
It looks complicated at first but you'll get the hang of it quickly
One of the many truly impressive things about Now Man's Sky is that it truly is as difficult or easy as you want it to be. That said, the "normal" game setting (which can be customized) offers a story/ quest driven tutorial that shows exactly what you need to do to survive - provided you take the time to read its instructions carefully. I do encourage you too give it a try, but please don't remove all challenge or you'll spoil it for yourself
Adding more encouragement to just jump in and try it out. As mentioned, the tutorial does a pretty good job (better than most games) of showing you what you need to know... IF you read what it's telling you.
it's a bit more complicated than this video makes it out to be actually. this guy is just exploiting his way through the playthrough and getting money cap with ease. you're not supposed to be able to buy your ship back for free infinitely while scrapping.
as a 35 hours noob, I learned so much, thank you!!
Q:
46:28 - Like upgrades get bonuses?
44:40 did they fix it where you buy and ship? I exchanged. Ran back to my old ship. But only given buy back option instead of claim ship free.
With total randomness, no specific world. Found a Sclass multi tool very early and also a royal one. By going to sentinel pillars. First freighter.... B class. Sweet ^^. And have a solar ship that i will upgrade to S class all the way.
How to get easy nanites: explore and scan all fauna in planets, completing it you can claim thousands of nanites (underground fauna is extremely annoying to get tho beware). Farm sentinels to get modules and sell them.
Ez money: gravitino orbs, ancien bones, storm crystals (with a environmental shield ofc) and some of theses ancien modules. Will do the trick to get money fast early. Later, you can craft expensive items with farms.
Bad Advice in a number of areas... but I am glad you wish to provide help to the newer players.
There are things you are advising which are simply not good advice for new players.
Eg. Slime. Slime was added as a path to nanites more as a teaching tool, or a joke, than as an option to actually gain nanites.
They made it refine very slowly and to require large numbers to reach even a small number of nanites, while occupying multiple inventory slots along the way, to teach players not to hoard.
In the time it takes to refine even Living Slime to mold and then to nanites, for 15 of nanites, you can reach and loot a broken machine on the average planet for more than double that on average, and using 0 inventory slots.
And silver and gold??
Advise them NOT to keep them, but to Sell them to the NPCs, then buy the condensed form (dirty bronze, argonium, lemmium, magnogold) and expand those in a refiner to sell the resulting metals for more than the condensed for costs.
Selling them and buying the compressed version makes money... and those compressed forms are always available in the tier 2 systems, so when you actually need them for base building, you can just buy some and expand them, then sell what you don't use to reclaim some of the cost... either way you've made money over hoarding and using the metals you found.
....
Money(units) and Nanites on a new save are a simple thing.
Come up with enough nanites for Ship Teleporter to unlock, and to buy Economy Scanner.
Once they have that, units and nanites are a trivial matter.
They can simply locate a Pirate system to have unlimited access to each.
Either by reclaiming stolen goods by attacking the pirate-system freighters, or buying stolen goods from the vendor in the stationh....
and selling them in normal systems for huge profits.
And buying up that NPC's crates for (Tech) and (Arms), opening them and selling the resulting upgrades to the NPC in the next stall, for thousands of nanites.
--
Best practices for a fresh game, without cheats.
You need enough nanites to get Ship Teleporter and Economy Scanner.
Advance as quickly and directly as you can to reaching the Anomaly.
... where you immediately buy the Ship Teleporter to unlock Economy Scanner, and buy that.
Install that, and head back to your first base.
Select the base mission and complete it, making a storage container...
... into which you empty your ship's inventory, keeping only some star shields, or some sodium (in case of emergencies).
Use the base teleporter to get to a station, and head out and warp... to the nearest Pirate system.
Where you buy all of the contraband you can afford, then head out to start busting the cargo nodes on the freighters in the system. Avoid the frigates entirely, so you take No negative faction hits.
As to the freighters' defenses, you learn quickly where they are located, and how to aim above them to hit them, and can do so while still shielded from their attacks. So you can eliminate their defenses before being shot.
Once you run out of freighters, point into empty space and pulse for about 10 seconds.
Stop, and wait. After a few seconds, a fresh group of freighters will warp in.
Don't attack until they stop warping in frigates, or you'll cause them to all warp back out.
As you pop the storage modules on them, another fleet typically shows up nearby... and you can empty those as well.
Either way, when you run out of them, point into space and pulse another 10 seconds to get new ones.
Check your ship's inventory every now and then, to be sure you aren't full up.
Once you get closer, or just don't feel like destroying any more pirates' lifves... head back to the station, warp to your baes, and on to a normal station and sell it all.
You will have enough for a massively better ship, an S-class multi-tool (or the best you've found so far) and will be able to go back to the pirate system to buy them out of tech and arms upgrades to sell for nanites.
Warping to another Pirate system gives you more nanite production...
Buy any B or better-clacss fighter and you can plow through the freighters in the pirate system of your choice quickly if you ever run short on either units or nanites. Better yet, even a C-class interceptor, decked out with Photon Cannon upgrades (apply to the sentinel ship cannons) which can hover in place to make it even easier/faster.
At that point, you have no concern at all for units or nanites.
You could spend 2 hours farming and have all of them you'll ever need in a save (you'll need more time for the nanites simply because they don't restock that fast, but any pirate system works to provide more of them.
They are never empty, the species, star color, and economy rating are all irrelevant. Black Market is the economy in every Pirate system and they all stock the upgrade crates.
Just spent an hour trying different "tactics" to find a trading post. No luck yet, and nowhere nearer to finding it. Wonderfull hour to spend.
I have a question. Does the ship exchanging and claiming back money making mthod still work?
No dont use that it was patched. Use the oxygen and cobalt or oxygen and chlorine to make good early money.
I installed this game a couple of updates ago and hadn't got back into it sicne then. I got to the space station in not too long, but watching your tutorial is super helpful and funny! I think i'll restart and follow your guide. Thanks!
The dread pirate Roberts reference was a really nice little gem in there lol
I haven't played NMS in a few months but I just love watching your stuff man.
your a legend mate.... I always love watching your vids for being plain and strait informative :D
I found a b class ship on the ringed planet in the beginning of the game. Have a lot of things to fix on it. Worth about 32mil if i recall right. Built my second base right next to it with transporter with it so i can sell my ship, teliport back with everything on hand to fix it and get me a bigger ship with aloy more worth to it.
Bob box...🤣 Awesome video as always!!!
I love this channel, underrated as hell!
This is good stuff!
Realy enjoyed watching this!
Like the way everything is explained!
My full NMS Singularity Best Start premiers tomorrow morning!
@HawkesGaming - This vid is still relevant as of June 2023 but you should edit out the no cost ship trade bug that was fixed - maybe just rerecord the voice over - and for the making money section you should just link to your other video on farming oceans for O2. Also you might want to go over economy crashing as well, it still works once you find the O2 source.
Any "Inventory Management" tips on how to keep it nice and empty, what to hold on to, what materials can always be sold, etc, would be great; it's the issue that seems to constantly be holding me back, my suit & ship inventory is always full!
Good Guide on getting started, very explanatory and quick to the point
like you said, EVERY Nanite you can get counts, if you dont want to multistage refine the slime into Nanites in the beginning , at least stock up on the slimes for when you build a refiner farm. Also if youre already well off on credits and need Nanites you can find Larval Cores, ( 10 refines to 500 Nanites) and same with the Hadal Cores. You can buy both but its expensive. Larval Cores are found on the abandoned outposts with the creature nests.
The scripted storm while getting that hermetic seal. Don't even have to leave the ship. It will trigger a couple minutes after you get the location marker. It'll only produce the one storm, so you can just wait it out then head there without fear of the hazardous storm.
Still not a big fan of Waypoint. Permadeath is my primary game play when new updates arrive. I went from having 90 seconds with a full hazard protection at the start to having almost 4 and a half minutes it was like a slap to the face and I made sure that all settings were as difficult as possible. Least setting the game to expensive was painful, double and sometimes triple the cost to buy upgrades and ships. Build and repair costs didn't change though.
As a brand new player, this guide helps. Still a daunting game to learn.
Dude I’m new to the game and your video was just what I needed. Thanks
With the nerf to cobalt, chlorine, and no more oxygen buying without lowering the difficulty, this guide is a god send!
I made a video on how to get loads of oxygen without lowering difficulty.
Korvax know how to party.
The first thing your science officer hooks you up with is Acid and Lubricant.
In fact.... Pretty sure I saw him Bonnaroo.
He was in some electronic band called Daft Punk.
Underrated af, can you do a survival play through 🙏 😅
What a fast good video. One of the best if not the best starter videos for NMS
loved the princess bride reference at 41:30
For wiring, it doesn’t matter what you connect to what, as long as the entire grid is connected it will all work. You generally want 2 solar panels per battery per 50kps used.
Totally and completely total and complete video! :P
