Is there a new gameplay loop other than repair ship, fly to next system, gather materials to upgrade ship / fuel engine, fly to next system etc. Because I got bored of that very quickly.

Ah man thank you. I've reported it. Adding to top of OP now until I can make something more visual to fit in.
Started a new save, first time since launch day. The experience has certainly been improved, but so much to re-learn. Also, I heard comments that the night sky looks bad. Maybe it's my TV but I didn't really notice anything until I looked at a screenshot on my Mac. Either that or the blockiness in the background isn't noticeable in motion. I think the main clouds look just as good as in the daytime though.
Is "Normal" mode basically the campaign that includes all the Atlas stuff?
Is there a way to create custom soundtracks that the game will automatically load?
My starting planet in normal mode was immediately raining acid on me. I don't know if it is a coincidence there was a very tiny cave nearby.

Man, first time playing and one thing is really bothering me.
1- people told me i dont have to do the story quests, however i think the only way to get the hyperdrive is doing them
2- the game never explains anything, like wtf, with so many techs...i think im behind in the learning curve.
3- these nano money that buy blueprints, how to farm them?
4- what i need to begin to construct bases?

Did you even read the patch notes? Or even the previous updates? Lmao.
if you'll excuse the self quote, as an update...
Warping does nothing to fix the bug, in fact I can't actually leave the system despite being able to access the galaxy map and choose a location. Neither can I refuel the hyperdrive any more past 100% and also all the NPC's have stopped talkign to me. So pretty gnarly bug all things considered. The only thing I can think of (and going back to launch) is that I am in a different ship to the once I started in, perhaps that is affecting the hyperdrive mission as the game is expecting to see my hyperdrive in my starter ship and fuelling this is the same as "losing" the antimatter.
With that in mind, I would recommend:
Do NOT move to a new ship until after the hyperdrive is installed and functional in your starter ship.
I have a sneaky suspicion its the launch day/pre order ship bug all over again.
[edit] It's too late to file a ticket now, I'll do it in the morning.. Night all! :D
I'm in the same boat. I have next to no clue what I'm doing.
Okay I'm getting major slowdown now. HDR banding in the sky needs to be sorted.
It's a major update I get that, it just wasn't this bad before.

Depends and what you wanna do. You can use your resources to build bases alone or with other people or build up your fleet of frigattes and send them on missions for example.
The core gameplay is still the same, you can just do more things with it now.
Yeah, it looks really bad. I'm really disappointed in the update as a base PS4 user, tbh.
There's story content too, but otherwise that's the game. It's a space survival loot game.
I found the actual core gameplay very basic and clunky so unless they've made drastic improvements to that I'm not gonna bother. It's undoubtedly an impressive game but just not that fun to play.
2 - You can always pin the recipes for stuff and it'll show you an exact explanation on how to make it. Square on PS4, not sure how on other platforms.
3 - Easiest way seems to scan creatures and plants, that gives you units. If you go in your discoveries tab and upload them, it gives you nanites.
4 - You need to build a base computer in the quick menu, up on the D-Pad. Just pin the recipe for that and it'll explain to you how to get the materials.
I just double dipped and bought it digitally on X. I enjoyed my experience on the PS4 but don't want to sacrifice performance. Looking forward to jumping in tonight.
I'd just watch a bit of gameplay of the new update and see if it's your thing or not.
I'm on base PS4 and I think it looks incredible. With this game you have to bear in mind the whole thing is made out of maths. If you're flying fast over the world, it's doing that maths REALLY FAST.

The missions keep sending me to ugly ass planets. In the system I see all these other blue and green gems in the sky - nope, going back to the dust planet again. I did find a planet that was populated entirely by pineapple-esque blobs, so many different types including a big mama that it looked like all the others were dancing around. I called it Squelch Town.
After a couple of hours starting a brand new game, leaving aside a saved game in continuous use since 1.0, I'm largely fine with it.
In all honesty I hardly remember how the start of the game played out in 1.0 but now it's clearly a largely new experience since it's incorporating and interweaving everything that's been added since 1.0. Within the first hour you're learning the basics of base building and then you're off to visit your first space station, so it seems like they're making an effort of breaking things up into more diverse objectives in the early game.
The bottom line is that this really a straight up sequel at this point, for all that's changed.

That's cool, different strokes and all. Not going to find every game fun but there's certainly a significant number of people that like this one and find it fun to play. Just sounds like you don't engage with the core loop, which is understandable as it takes awhile to get into a rhythm and reaping rewards. When it does though there's a lot you can do with it and on top of the boundless exploration it's pretty unique in what it offers.
Wow this game is nuts. I had about 10 hours in on Atlus update and that included a mission to deliver a package. I warp to a new galaxy to do so and a freighter is being attacked. I fend off the pirates and am rewarded with my own freighter finally!!!
Now the games telling me to craft a new room on it with resources I've never seen before! Then I hope to the space station and realized it's all new in there!

That takes a very long time when you first launch the game, it's a lot quicker on subsequent launches. Just let it do its thing at its own pace, took me at least 5 mins with an SSD.
First launch for shaders can be brutal. My system crashed a couple times til I got past it. If it keeps messing up try deleting the shadercache folder to start fresh.
It took me around 10 minutes no joke. It was 1-14 fps during that time. Once I got into the game its been at +60 fps.
The core gameplay isn't basic at all; what other current games have on foot exploration, survival elements, space travel/combat, extensive base building, trading, a procedural mission system, procedural gear loot system, frigate expansion and fleet-based missions? If your core gameplay drive is refined combat mechanics, then yeah combat is not a big strength of the game. But the gameplay is by no means basic at this point.
They're the same as they were a year ago. So, impressive at first, until you realise there's only one design...
Yup, just the standard buried supply crates.
On PC?
--------------------------------------
Btw. underwater caves look awesome - they are pretty deadly though
Check and see if the framerate is unlocked. That puts a strain on it. The problem is that this is a very CPU-heavy game and the PS4 was not really designed with that in mind.
what about having to find all the language words again? i would start over but i found so many of the words that having to find them all again would be a real bummer....
I'm so excited to dip into this tomorrow. The original scope and space-opera feel of the game originally enticed me, and I played about 9-10 hours, but I have a real issue with 1st person games (I mostly hate them) and the whole experience felt largely pointless and lacking urgency. Now the 3rd person changes, the story additions and all the extra features added since I abandoned the game make for a much more compelling package. I feel like I'm going to have the same level of enthusiasm and wonder as you seem to.
I have a No Man's Sky dream last night. I take it as a sign from Sean Murray that I need to reinstall the game again.
Just got my first freighter handed to me for free just for saving them from attackers. That was easy. Can you actually change the name of the Freighter? I see you can rename the frigates so I can only assume I should be able to rename my freighter
EDIT: From what I'm seeing of other folks' experiences, getting the free freighter seems scripted to happen. Probably to introduce the whole fleet mechanic.
I highly doubt it since we can't even recolor our ship. Definitely things to take into consideration in the future as to further implement customization options.

Playing on the X. Game finally loaded and as soon as I moved my guy it hard locked the system. Had to cycle it. Trying again now. I've been waiting at the Hello Games screen for 3 minutes.

Great for me, others seem to be having some hitches but I've been having a blast. Know Lamptramp seems to be having a good experience with his too.
The game's UI doesn't support ultrawide resolutions. It stretches and looks pretty bad.
The game itself does, but it seems like the fov doesn't go high enough or something.
I hate that the game has to be restarted for resolution changes to take effect!

Lamptramp think I might have borked the tutorial. What do you need to make antimatter in NEXT? Isn't in my crafting menu but I found a warp cell while digging up crashed freighter vaults and instinctively added it when I build the drive on my ship. Now I'm at "seek answers among the stars" instead of making antimatter and a keenly award I don't seem to have the recipe.
