When do we get our free freighter? I think I remember in Next you got a hail from a freighter after 3 jumps. I've made 4 and nothing so far

I'm at 28 million and hoarding enough to be able to get a nice full slot s class fighter. Still on my starter ship.

BTW, has anyone had any issues with some devices that are chained together not powering on, even though you're generating more than enough power? I have a row of storage units daisy chained together, but only every other one will turn on. The other ones stay powered off no matter what I do and I have 3 solar panels and 3 fully charged batteries just sitting there, generating/storing plenty of juice! I can't figure this one out.

Yeah, I have that problem. I have a row of storage containers connected by T-shaped corridors. Only one was powered and wiring them all up only powered up every other container. I've also had issues with certain tech I lay down like the appearance modifier not getting powered despite the room itself being powered.

I lost about two hours of base building progress last night when most of my base's interior tech, decorations, and stairs/windows suddenly vanished. I tried walking away from my base and coming back to see if it was a loading problem, but nope everything was gone.

So FYI if anyone is editing their base to manual save early and often when making changes because NMS doesn't seem too stable right now with complex bases.

Nameless honestly, so much of the game, even when low res at times, looks insane in VR.

On the planet where my first base is, there are these dinosaur like creatures. I call em "big bois" but I know there are larger things out there! Can't wait to experience that in VR.




Oh and mentioned earlier that it seemingly got sharper when flying through a black hole.

Skyrim VR got a res bump for PS4 Pro, so fingers crossed for NMS!

Gameplay most often looks like this:

However, this is a moment before while in the black hole transition:

The texture loading and pop-in problems on PS4 right now are pretty ridiculous. Holy shit.



Agreed. I made a lengthy post last page about this. I've experienced far worse then what you captured in that video. It's to the point that sometimes I'm stuck on an "invisible object" but it's just that the props haven't rendered in yet.

Crazy thing is before Beyond, I could fly fast around a planet with minimal pop in of anything. Me and my wife was marveling on how well they optimized the game over the years. The game has come a long way from the pop in mess it launched with. With each update things just kept getting better.

So, I'm sure things will get optimized and improved, I know the team is super hard working and always addresses these issues. The only thing I'm a bit worried about is the need to keep things running for PSVR players. I hope we aren't dealing with a new low baseline to make some kind of concessions with PSVR hardware. If that is a problem, they should put a separate PSVR toggle in the menu and give them a VR mode profile or separate mode.

I'm at 28 million and hoarding enough to be able to get a nice full slot s class fighter. Still on my starter ship.

That is so much money!! How can I make money early game? I've sold gold but it's not going to make the millions I need to buy good stuff. I've not seen any planets with ...wAs it bones and salvage listed when you do a planet scan? Any tips for good money appreciated!

Oh and im only 10 hours in to the game so maybe it isnt possible yet.

Playing on PC and performance is good but even on max settings the popin when flying over surface is INSANE!!! So I guess it's as good as it can get for now but I really hope they dramatically improve this. I don't remember it ever being as bad as it is now

Bones and salvage pretty much. Also using nanites on S class upgrades for your scanner. Right now I get 60k for every plant and 150-450 per animal scanned.

VR mode is legit but I wish they could let us use roomscale, I can't walk one step without having the error message that I'm exiting the play zone...

Beginning of the game is a lot more than it has been before.

I got a crappy starter system for my first base. The power stuff actually forces you to find salvage which is interesting but I'm not entirely sold on it yet.

So if I understand this right, if you build an exocraft on any planet, you can beam it to any other planet in that galaxy?

If so, I still wish I could've built an exocraft bay in my freighter and just beamed it from there, sort of like how they store the Mako on the Normandy.

They usually are at the launch of major updates. Give them some time and theyll have it addressed

It's the same on PC. The pop in looks to come in just 30 feet in front of you. Looks real bad.

Also, I have three questions.

1. How do you power a base built with "basic" wood parts? I put the generator in there but nothing happens. There aren't specific areas where you place your generators like you have in normal bases.

2. How do you power standing planters? None of mine work after the update. Do they need power? Do they need to be in the sun? I don't get it.

3. How do you power oxygen gatherers outside the base?

There are some planets that only have copper resources as a secondary resource collected from mined minerals. I had the same problem on my tutorial planet; I had to comb caves for the one mineral that provided a dozen or so copper at a time.

I was wondering : do I need to move the "upgrades" to the "technology" tab of the ship or suit for them to work, or do they still work if they are with the different regular items ?

Either. The upside to the tech slot is that you can have another stack to double the bonus since each section caps at 3. Watch the vid I posted above. It covers that stuff.

Okay, thanks. I noticed the same as well.

I can get them to snap but you have to be an absurd distance away for it to register snap points for some reason. The doors on the pad are also aligned higher then all the other doors so it might not even be worth trying till they fix it though unless you really want the free take off fuel.

Playing on PC with win7 and GTX 1060

Had 2 BSOD already. One while alt-tabbing the game in the menu, the second after 10 minutes playing and loading a game.
With my year old Nvidia drivers, the Game didn't start, so I installed the newest drivers. Can't rule out that it is the new driver, but couldn't yet replicate the BSOD on other games.

Anyone know of this issue and a solution? These are the first BSOD I had for years.
Temperature for the first bsod was 58°C and for second was 70°C

Yooooo. Nada and Polo doing work on their anomaly. Full on multiplayer hub and full of weird and wonderful NPCs.

I think I might just have to start again from scratch. I just can't remember why I have what I have in my inventory and what does what and what I was building towards. At least I might play my VR file till I remember most things.

Third time asking - is it possible to change the motion control cockpit controls to something more traditional? I find dogfighting to be impossible.

I guess not. It really is impossible; it's a cool idea but it doesn't work well at all. They really need to give us standard gamepad-like alternative controls.

I'm still waiting on PCVR optimization to keep playing VR anyway. The PSVR version runs better than the PC version for most people, which tells me there's definitely something wrong with implementation.

Anyone using PCVR figure out how to make AA work well yet? I could cut myself on these horizons :p

Tried all the in game options and there's still a bunch of jaggies no matter the setting selected, and apparently using Nvidia control panel AA settings doesn't seem to affect things. Hope this gets patched soon.

What are you using? Moves? You can use the DualShock only for flying. Have it somewhere near and if you press one button it will become active. Then when you finish press the trigger of one of the moves and the scheme changes again.

It is not ideal but it may help 🤷‍♂️

Had the same thing happen to me. I was editing on one side of my base, trying to get the landing pad to not look stupid since it no longer snaps to anything, and when I was done and turned around, the outdoor deck area where I had all my specialists and planters was empty. I reloaded my autosave save and nothing. I eventually had to revert to an earlier manual save, losing about 1.5 hrs of work, but I got my base back to normal.

This happened to me (bunch of my solar panels and doors disappeared) and exiting the game and restarting fixed it.

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. :( I had to use an earlier save point.

First time playing this game. Did I already fuck myself over!? Let me take you on my journey of despair...

I'm on my first planet. Got my ship working. Flew around my starting planet. Found a base. Base sent me to a distress signal of a crashed ship. My starting ship was class C, this ship is class B, but it's broken and needs repair.

There was an option to "add ship to your collection". So I did.

Okay, now I can get inside the new ship, but it's broken up pretty bad. No problem, I'll just walk over to my original ship and fly away in that. I'm eager to go into space... Wait a second, I can't get into my original ship. WHY CAN'T I GET INTO MY ORIGINAL SHIP!?

It said, "add ship to COLLECTION" not "swap ships"! And even if it did swap ships, why can't I swap right back? My original ship is right here!

Maybe if I restart it will go back to before this debacle. Restarted, ok good. There's the new ship, okay. Let me turn around and.... MY ORIGINAL SHIP IS GONE AND I'M LEFT WITH THIS BROKEN SHIP! There's so many things broken on it. I'm new at this game. I have no idea how to get any of these materials!

I'm fucked aren't I?

Yeah I recall a similar one in next where The fauna were kind of moving underground making the ground rise around them as they moved. Like the robots in that Peter Weller film Jeez I forget what its called, but its based on Second variety by P K Dick.... anyway its was genuinely unsettling.

And yes Arkanius, sell that salvage scrap, sell it all!!!!! :)

-------------------​

Also was hunting Cadmium and Ancient bones earlier with both efficient thrusters and Launch recharger and it was awesome. Heartily recommended if you like hopping round a certain planets surface. I never dipped below 85% :D

Try summoning your ship from the quick menu. Alternately, get a piece of navigational data, find an outpost or location with a landing pad, and try summoning your ship from there. Finally, if those don't work, get the launch thrusters working on the broken ship, fly it to a trade post or the space station, and trade it for a working ship.

is the Biofuel reactor useless? it takes an ungodly amount of resources to power it....for 30 mins lol

I also can't get the new wiring to work. I can power the Teleporter but not a First Aid station. I have them hooked to each other but it just says 'insufficient power'. On the reactor it says 20/50 power used. I don't know who thought adding wiring was a good idea, it's never fun IMO
