I’m gonna vote overdoing it. Like there’s putting some thought into it, and then there’s creating a system that’s going to require effort and maintenance to keep up. Certain things make total sense, tech you’re not using but want to hold on to makes sense. All the raw materials to craft your money-makers (stasis devices, portable reactors, and so on) make sense. Stuff you know you’ll need to build your next base/farm or whatever, makes sense. Storing by type I can even get behind, as soon as I saw the color-sequencing, sorry that crossed my line! Lol.
Crimson first ‘cause I had the parts. Then I thought if the other was harder to get (required drops from quads I think didn’t it?) it must be better so I reloaded my quicksave and went and got crystallized hearts or whatever it was so I could get both.
I appreciate the info, however, my post is just a tasteless joke.
Alright, I sucked it up and watched some YouTube. Twitch I can sort of understand, it’s like playing a single player game with your friend after school in the ‘90’s. It’s their turn and you’re watching, planning what to try during your turn. YouTube is a 20 minute video, with ads, that’s buried a ten second sound-byte of useful information behind piles of trash and the worst speaking voice on Earth. And it’s always edited by someone who things mic-in and line-in are the same so ready your ears for the bleedening!
Robot fauna occur mainly (possibly only) on planets or moons in uncharted systems. It there are robot fauna on a planet, there are no organic fauna on that world and vice versa. The ion battery/creature pellets showing in your companion register identify the type of fauna, and will do so as soon as you land. There’s no need to actually find any fauna first.
I’d like to apologize for wasting your time if you read this and it’s all old-news & common-knowledge. I had no idea so thought I might as well post in the spirit of keeping the content flowing.
So there’s a real possibility I’ll get to run the Utopia expedition? Very cool!
This may or may not be good advice ‘cause although I’ve got 300 hours on my main save I am not a “good” or “optimum” player by any stretch. I think you should start with the Singularity expedition in expedition mode. There’s a lot of hand-holding as far as what to do next, where to go, and it keeps everything a bit more linear than a regular start does. Plus, theres the option to get one or more pretty good sentinel ships right away without too much difficulty. And at the end of the expedition it turns into just a “normal” save (or so I’m told). It’s what I’d do if I was just starting out today.
When I started myself I put in like 24 hours on a “relaxed” mode save just to sort of get the hang of things and the only noob guides I used was just searching up where to find particular resources, or early game farming methods once I felt like I had learned the ropes I started a “normal” mode save and haven’t really looked back.
Thinking about it more, I think it’s maybe even bleaker. Forget the galaxy hopping for a moment. We have two modes of travel, portaling and faster than light warping. Lets say portaling is some sort of instant quantum entanglement something, but faster than light travel is going to have relativistic time dilation effects. Because we can still find the same people after a warp, everyone must be functionally immortal. Otherwise we’d have never see the same NPC twice, if we traveled by starship.
That's so cool! I've had so many planets where I can't get all the fauna because they have giant worms that go so quick or so rarely I never manage to scan in time. I'm going to have to portal on over and see if I can finally get one.
We’re for sure in a high economic disparity universe. Like we’re the 1% of the 1% living in a hopepunk wonderland and then the crews of our frigates are indentured servants living in the grimdarkest grimdark. I read all those expedition debriefs and, well, I’m glad I’m not crew. I don’t know if that qualifies as a head-cannon or if it’s just an observation. We and all the other NPC’s we encounter are for sure extremely high net worth individuals though.
I've noticed that on some missions I'm getting multiple eggs and storage enhancements and this could just be down to most of my organic frigates being tier C at this point (but gradually they're getting better) the upgrades are also tending to be tier C. The few space encounters I've had snagged an S and an A (as well as a couple C's). It's certainly slower going compared to just buying upgrades, feels more satisfying though.
Playing on Switch I don't see other players ships at all but I do wonder, how popular are living ships, like I'm sure most folks have one but are they common "daily drivers" or are they more of a have it just to have it ship?
One thing I always hated about reddit was how insanely compartmentalized a given interest was into different subs. Post cute hamster pic? Sorry, this is the sub for brown Russian dwarf hamsters, you should have known that, six day ban! I personally would love it if there was one place for all things No Man’s Sky, yes it means searching for the relevant posts, and yes it means super old threads will be resurrected periodically, but it also means I can go to one place and just scroll and scroll ‘till I find something neat. So yeah, I vote for one hub to rule them all!
Lol, somehow that explanation makes it worse.
