Yes, you can upgrade them and later on (especially with new carry limits) you should be more than fine topping them both up when they're low.

Spend about 5 hours in PSVR yesterday night and this morning.
Graphics are bad but somehow I got to love the extreme lo-fi esthetic. Reminds me of this old space eploration game Noctis, but you are actually there...
Flying through the clouds and it becomes a mess of pixels and fog and pixels and garish colors but so cool.
Move controls are great and smartly implemented but DS4 makes for a more relaxed experience. I will be changing between both.
My issues with the game are still the lack of variety in planets and the confusing and needlessly convulated resource management systems, but VR makes it the whole game soo much better

I mean who could tell for sure if you'd like it or not :D The core premise of the game remains the same as it was, explore, survive, gather, build etc. What each update has done has added more context to that. A strong main storyline, additions such as bases and vehicles which offer short and mid term goals and freighters, portals, exotic ships and fleets for long term goals. Since NEXT and expanded with BEYOND there's a greater focus on playing together and MP missions. Shooting and dogfighting has improved, but its still very similar to vanilla at its core.
You can get upgrade modules for life support and hazard protection which help slow the descent and even in the case of life support stall it completely (while in sunlight).
You can sometimes buy them from NPC in settlements, or you can find it from "Ancient Data structures" you'll randomly find on certain planets. When you use your scanner they will be a yellow diamond with a single line in it (I think).
You can buy the module in the Anomaly from one of the NPC's for around 600 nanits for it and its precursor.
Hm, slightly curious about it. I avoided this game due to the bad reception at release, but it looks really improved - and I'm very interested in the VR aspect. Still undecided because the main gameplay loop looked very boring back then, and this feels like it's still a "wide as a ocean, deep as a puddle"- situation.
Is it possible to play this game seated with a normal controller in VR (PC)? Just for the experience this might be worth it.

This is always the most fun time after a NMS update.

This hasn't been the case for ages now. there is a full storyline, the resource management, crafting and upgrade loop is pretty deep now. You can build huge bases, farm materials and now animals. Yes, it's still very wide but some threads run very deep.
Have a read through the main release info for each of the big releases they've done and you'll see.
The comparisons made to Minecraft are pretty close, as they are both big sandboxes with tools to do a lot of stuff. And, as service games they have both been supported well.
I think a good month should solve most issues and they will be well on their way to a nice experience. It always takes a bit. Good to see experimental builds on Steam taking care of issues. I don't think I'm going to jump back in quite yet.
Cheers. Although it looks way out of my league right now.You can buy the module in the Anomaly from one of the NPC's for around 600 nanits for it and its precursor.
Totally agree, I don't mind teleporting as in any other VR game just felt odd every time I took a step or two to reorient myself and well within my play space laid out you get a large notification telling you to reset your position as you are out of bounds.
Could just be a setting I need to adjust it was just a bit jarring! Most other VR games let you move around the 3x3m square and then telport to other locations where this felt more like a 50cmx50cm square I could move around without the notification popping up.
Is 2.04 out on PC as well? Was really looking to play this last night, but unfortunately I get crash to desktop after either loading a save game or trying to create a new game :(
It shouldn't take too long, Helios on the Anomaly will give you a chunk of nanites, and if you get a few hunt or scan missions that reward nanites that should net you some more. Of course by then, there could be something else you fancy buying :)
Until then, I'm sticking to only landing when absolutely necessary and buying the first step to reduce the usage since thats only 120.
You mean Green system, i.e. Green Star?
You can buy the different hyper-drives in the Anomaly to reach the other star types.
Still unsure about that. Sure, it may have more stuff to do and hasn't the barebones state of the release version anymore, but lots of features isn't necessarily what would fix the issues that I perceived No mans sky has.
But I never actually played it and haven't seen much of the current state, so it's just a quess. I just look for some Lets Play to get a feel how it is (:
I thought it was a Green Star but no, the green galaxy.
What he likes even more than playing a game he likes, is to be the centre of attention.
If you landed on that and ran out of launch fuel, you'd be screwed,. right?This was a fascinating planet - 90% ocean with these islands dotted all over the place.
I made sure I had plenty in the tank before I did. I didn't explore the ocean so there may have been fuel down below but yeah - always make sure you have one launch in the tank before landing anywhere.
Newbie question - how early and how much should I be spending with Nanites for module stuff? I'm about 7 hours in, still with the stater multi-tool because the handful I've had the option to purchase have been way out of my league (millions of units), and a couple of exosuit slot upgrades. After getting up to about 1300 nanites I spent a few hundred on a B-Class movement upgrade for my exosuit only to find out after buying it it's only -12% fuel efficiency and +1% initial boos power lol (and I couldn't see these two stats before as far as I could tell?).
As far as I can tell you can't remove modules on at least the multi-tool, but my starter one is full anyway with the boltcaster and advanced mining laser, but I don't have a good feel yet for nanite spending so not sure how hard I should be going in or not at this point?

Ah that was my other thought but I thought I'd skirt around it in case it counts as spoilers :)
Just by
Getting to the centre
get close to the galactic centre and make the last few hops yourself.
yep every new save the pre-order stuff is there to use again.
Probably will check it out tonight, in VR!
I hope Hello Games is able to put some Pro enhancements in an upcoming patch to make the game less blurry.
For #3 I'm talking about resting your hands like you normally would while standing. I don't play VR while seated, I have a 2.5x2.5m space dedicated to it. Other games don't make me hold my arms out to move, you can just rest them downwards and use the sticks while slightly angling with your wrists.
1. Yeah, but other VR games also let you walk by physically walking. It's unnatural to be yelled at every time I take a step or two to get a closer look at something.
4. That still seems unnatural to me. IRL anything I would aim at I would use my hands, not my face.

I don't have the greatest GPU in my PC (GTX 950) but since the update to Beyond, everything actually looks worse and this is after I've set my settings to mid-to-low which is what they were previously set at. Even when I lower everything, and turn off certain video/graphic settings, the game just looks so much worse than it previously did.
Did anyone else experience anything similar? I didn't have any trouble playing on Steam last night but god everything looks worse, so much more screen tearing and the way certain assets and background images pop-in, this didn't happen prior to this update. I hope things get patched soon and that this improves.

Hmm, that seems odd. What do you mean when you say you can't look up and down as you walk around? Looking at footage of the game on PSVR, it seems like others are able to do this. But yes, movement in VR will feel different compared to regular games, as they usually have to use some workarounds to prevent motion sickness, so I can understand why it might feel awkward at first.
Perfect. Most of those were the exact issues I was having, especially in the Space Anomaly. Looking forward to playing more when I get home.
OK so Nanites will buy you upgrade modules via the vendors in the space stations, and new technology for your gear, via the NPCs in the Anomaly. The first are single use items with somewhat random stats which you place and then cannot remove or dismantle back into nanites. The second are blueprints which can be installed for resource costs and uninstalling them will refund some of these resources.
I'd suggest, certainly in the case of your ship and multitool to ignore the upgrade modules in the early game. Nanites are far more valuable to unlock the reusable blueprints and even though they seem far away now, you will find new multitools and ships reasonably soon as you explore, and those upgrades won't carry over. Also the real improvements come from the A and S class upgrade modules which cost 400 nanites upwards.
I'd consider building up a sizeable stack while unlocking blueprints and keep an eye out for any kind of multiool upgrade. If you find a reasonable class multitool which has some space to fit in 3 scanner upgrade modules (class S) you'll find that you start gaining so many credits from scanning that it will pay for itself.
I've been getting 120fps on PC with a 1080gtx with High settings. Might experiment with Ultra settings next time I play to see how that holds up.
REALLY impressed with the new opening segments. The tutorial feels a lot more focused and easy to read as you fix your starter ship back up. Everything looks way more intelligently organized in the menu systems as well. The UI, maps & menu systems have this clean & smart look to them.
Having great fun revisiting so far.

Only just realised on PSVR we have no right hand LUL, Unless it's a bug.
Didn't stop me bounty hunting in space though and wiping them out with my S class exotic ship. This game in VR already is my top game, Last thing i am thinking of is visuals when i am exploring a universe and uncharted planets on foot. Incredible this is, Really impressed considering it's a free update.

Sorry but you two travellers are going to have to meet up to survive in this universe.
Well we have a good pair of hands between us at least. It's happened each time i have logged in, So about 3-4 times. Might have to redownload it or summat.
I've only tried once. I'll log back in today and see. We need a two man ship so we can pilot it together 😂
I heard you need to turn the flight sensitivity down (and reinvert the controls if necessary)

I came across the same type of planet except I landed in one of the islands. Went swimming in the ocean for a bit. It's where I've had the most crashes, actually.
It's absolutely worth it, as you describe.
Originally it was as deep as a puddle but they added a decent story and a ton of depth to the gameplay (at least the options you have, if not the actual mechanics).
Deffo bug
Which VR headset? I'm leaning towards buying a Rift S today. I want the index, but don't know if it's worth the cash.
I bought a Rift S on Monday and I absolutely love it. I previously had a PSVR but this is a complete whole package upgrade.
