Started a new game, returned to my home planet after ~10 hours exploring via a portal and found everything gone. Not even the base computer survived. Strange that it still shows up as a portal destination and that the hole I dug to reach the plateau was still there.

Not a huge loss, but annoying.

I played a bit of the flat version on PS4 today and this is definitely gonna be a VR-only game from now on.

The graphical cuts are obvious in the VR version but I couldn't get over how tiny everything looks now in the flat version. There's just no going back for me.

I've been playing since Day 1 and had a similar experience last night when I loaded up the flat version to take some screens. It was a weird sensation after multiple days of just VR, like being ripped out of the world and looking at a facsimile through a window. Everything was sharper but less substantial, less real. NMS has always done a good job of making players feel small, but that really shines through with the sense of scale VR provides. Definitely tough if not impossible to go back.

I figured out the Cannot build/must be attached to structure. Bases made up of components apparently don't count for some machinery. For the Medium Refiner I need a cuboid or cylindrical room. (Fuck off!)

Anyone know when/how I get blueprints for those??

Some people say don't waste your time as the cost of repairs aren't worth it (and that's mostly true). But if you're still in your starter ship and looking to upgrade, check the value of the crashed ship and repair only the parts to get it off the ground. Then with very little effort (assuming the new ship is worth a good chunk more) you can trade the new ship in for something else.

You only need to repair the launch thrusters and pulse engines to get it to fly.

Yeah it's really annoying how so much is broken on crashed ships. Can't say I really liked the change. Same with the damaged machinery pods littered around planets. Why do I have to repair something to be able to salvage them? It's just more busy work :/

My main gripe with this game is that planets seem way too flat. I've warped like 15 times and haven't come across huge mountain ranges once. Kinda bumming me out.

Hmm, yeah, that is weird could be a bug or because you are doing main story quests and visiting atlus stations. Maybe freighter battles can't appear there or when you warp to a system that triggers a story event?

Well that's just great if it's a bug. Won't be getting a freighter for a very long time then. Kinda takes the wind out of my sails for this game tbh.

Tried PC VR last night. It was rough in space, but playable and pretty stunning looking. Then I landed on a planet and frames dropped so low I was seeing tearing and it was absolutely beyond unplayable. Real shame because the immersion is amazing when it works.

I think I made it to the nexus. Found the upgrade vendors and stuff. How come no trade station there? I had to leave to buy something. What's the easiest way to get back to nexus after you leave?

Are you supposed to be able to randomly find ancient bones, or do you need to progress to some point first? I haven't found a single one, and I desperately need cash.

Do we have some performance thread for the PC version of this game? Tried the search function here, but couldn't find any.

As always, the updates gives me plenty of performance issues, and this is no exception.

1. Crazy amount of stuttering when flying.
2. Framerate dips from 60 to less then 30 when I go under a roof at a trading post.

There's no progression requirement but they aren't on every planet. From space you need to do a scan and the planet description will say if ancient bones are present.

Once you're on the planet use your analysis visor/scanner to find the yellow home plate looking sites where you can dig up the bones with your terrain manipulator.

The performance issues (and crashes) when having multiplayer enabled in the Anomaly seem completely fixed (PS4). Nice.

Yeah, I've been to like 10 systems so far and not found a single planet with them. Sad.

Yep. Here ya go.

Also if you're having frequent fps dips, check this below. I and others here have had good success with this from reddit.

This one fix from reddit fixed all the stuttering I was getting on PC. It would always happen when the foliage was drawing in. Not happening at all any more. Probably already been posted and sorry if I missed it, but wanted to share for others who are also dealing with this. Def give it a try.

Basically just changed the values both to 0 and no issues any more on an i5 4690.

Reminder: If you found something you want to come back to on a planet, drop a save beacon. It serves as a marker from space (shows up as a star icon) and persists until you pick it back up.

I ran into a really nasty bug: When I first set up my main base shortly after Next launched, I put on top of one of the first round pre-fab base rooms I made a signal booster. While I was updating my base the other day, I picked up the signal booster and everything inside my base was deleted. I was able to recover from a save, but I wanted to give the FYI in case anyone has had portable tech sitting in their bases for a long time. Be careful when you pick them up.

Yeah, you can only connect structures to the launch pad after laying it down. I'm not sure if that's a bug or an intentional design choice by HG.

If that's so it's bad design they did increase the size of the pad possible it's a bug I'm also having issues walking through structures once connected.

It's either really early on in the base building quest line or you can research it from the construction research unit. I had this in the first few hours.
Edit: It's from the Construction Research Unit.

How much variance is there in the first free Freighter? Can you get A or S class by refusing? Is it rare if so? How much slot variance, too?

My first offer is... 18 Slot B class.
Should I hold out by Declining?

So just got on and I have two Hazard Protections in my inventory? What do? Already submitted a support ticket. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else.

Quick note on finding ships vs buying ships: check the inventory space of the ships before deciding. Most of the ships I find for sale have good stats but low storage. Most of the ships I FIND have decent specs and better storage. It's worth it (to me) to just fix it and have a solid ride than to save up and get something that ends up being a pain to use because of low space. I know the space is mostly based on ship class, but again, you can find a ship class that typically has low space as a fixer-upper with better space on it than one you can find that's for sale for the most part.

If you have the time why not get a somewhat better ride than your starter and use that as a jumping off point to fly around making money to save up for an expensive one with awesome stats? When I was playing Next I had 3 ships in my rotation: a fighter, a freighter, and an all-around type ship.

Hopefully I can get to that point soon with my new game in Beyond.

Yeah I'm at my 2nd system and first planet is a beauty other than hidden flytraps lol. No sentinels , built a base near a drop pod cuz I have no antimatter so I'm out but looking forward to return. Is there any planet that doesn't cost life support at all?

that explains it. ive been completely ignoring most of the base building quests and almost anything vaguely base building adjacent 'cause all but one of the planets ive been on have been real wastelandish. now that i can craft warp cells i should warp back to that system, find that planet, and do some light base stuff.

Are moon pools bugged at the moment or am I not using it right? I attached one to a round, underwater room but I can't go through it. In or out of the Nautilon it remains unopened? I've never used one before so I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong. The room has power, if that makes a difference.
