Re: No Man's Sky

Supposedly you can get blueprints for the warp cell components from the factory buildings. I've run across one, broke it, it had some blueprint I already had. Yay.

Agree. It's just not as clear without the original tutorial story line.

Re: No Man's Sky

If you guys are into NMS because of exploration, you should definitely consider playing Lifeless Planet (PC).



Really.

Collimating sucks. I have a $1200 light bucket I got off Craigslist for $500 a few years back and I've only ever gotten it out a handful of times because I suck at setting it up and aligning the mirrors.

Showing someone Saturn or Jupiter, or even better Orion's Nebula is a really amazing thing.

Re: No Man's Sky

Can someone explain why when I'm down flying around a planet it will say something is 30 seconds out, then 29 seconds, then 28 seconds, etc and then it will change back to like 42 seconds?

I've been flying toward this shelter now for like 5 minutes and the time keeps changing from 30 down to 19 then back up to 38 and etc..not sure what is going on..

Re: No Man's Sky

As far as we know has anyone been given a code to preview the PC version, like are any impressions of it up yet?

I see Sean tweeted it's a 2.6 gig download, I assume that's because of compression?

Your speed is changing (for one of several reasons), and the time to arrival is adjusting to match it. This is as noticeable when you're out in space as it is when you're in the situation you mentioned, but it happens more within a planet's atmosphere because the game adjusts your height (and with it, your speed) to keep you from crashing.

If you're far enough away that it's taking 5 minutes at full speed to reach a destination, fly out of the planet's gravitational pull, accelerate to close the distance faster, and then try to re-enter the atmosphere directly above the target. It really shouldn't take you more than about 2 or 3 minutes to fly to any nearby destination.

Ok thanks, that's what I suspected was the case but was hoping someone could confirm it.

Re: No Man's Sky

Finally left my starter planet and headed to the next closest planet, according to my ship map. At regular flight speed, told me it would take 2 weeks to get there. Amazing!

Landing there was amazing and...now I'm scared.

I got so used to my home. My cold, yellow in the day, blue in the night, home. Now I'm on this hot, red planet and I don't like any of the things I'm seeing. It's a whole new place and it frightens me.

Kinda wish we had more information and updated screens for the PC release.

Re: No Man's Sky

Found the money planet tonight, not only is it loaded with gold ore and gold crystals, there are caves everywhere loaded with those vortex cubes. In about an hour and a half I went from 500k to 3.1 million. Don't think I will farm any more though, it feels a bit exploitative.

I just found a 40 sold for $21mil

Crazy how big the ships are getting

Re: No Man's Sky

Figured out something kind of cool tonight. I got a new ship with more slots, so it may be unique to larger ships, but your inventory slots on your ship hold more of an element than your suit does. I don't know if anyone else realized that or not, but it's come in handy when I'm limited on inventory space.
