No Man's Sky

Re: No Man's Sky

Multi-tool upgrades, are those linear? If I pass up on a 12 slot, will I only see 12 slot upgrades until I buy it? Think I'm going to save that 80k until I can get a better ship.

One thing that is really nice.. Melee and then jetpack. It's like running around in a Tribes game. Need something to extend my jetpack boosting.

Of the 4 worlds I've been on 2 have had no wildlife, one nearly barren and another dotted with so many little outposts and trade hubs I was losing track of where I'd visited.

Biggest gripe is easily the way they handle pop-in or level of detail changes. It's pretty bad, and a really bad eyesore on some terrain types.

It's also funky that I can wipe out half of a hillside, but that hillside reappears when I move away from it, only to disappear as I get closer. Do this all the time mining, and do the 'ok one more node' thing as I get further and further from my ship.

Anyone seen a button to disable UI for photos?

And with that, I leave you with this flying turtle.

I'll just spoiler it in case anyone doesn't want to know, regarding the upgrades:

Spoiler

From what I've seen, each upgrade just adds +1, so it'll always appear to just be one extra slot for anything aside from space ships which are RNG. Could be wrong but from all my upgrades it's always been +1 when upgrading the tool or the suit.

Re: No Man's Sky

I've seen up to +3 in slots on my multitool.

Also, re: multitool upgrades, if you think "man, I'm buying this new multitool and this old one is just going to get thrown away, I'll back out and dismantle all my upgrades for the resources before I buy this new one", think again. The upgrades and stats on the gun are generated when you look at them, so if you back out and dismantle stuff, the new one you can buy will change.

Re: No Man's Sky

I think I found a bit of gold.



got about 2,000 gold from it. would of had more, but when i tried to fly up to the top, I got flung into space, I assume a glitch.

Re: No Man's Sky

I found a bunch of gold but my problem is I can't seem to find a merchant to buy the rest of it beyond the first bit.

Merchants should have an infinite supply of units, is it showing 0/0? You may have your gold on your ship inventory or in your exosuit and looking at the wrong one in the sell menu. Otherwise might just be something else I missed!

Edit: I think I see what you mean, if you are in a starbase, there should be a room you can enter to the right with a blue circular machine, you can unload your gold there.

Re: No Man's Sky

Maybe that's my problem, I can only sell what's on my ship?

Was done for the night... but now I might have to go check that out lol.

I figured they were just buying limited quantities, after years of playing Trade Wars on a BBS that seemed perfectly reasonable.

Edit: yay, sold 400k in elements, lol.

I actually never saw the ship/self toggle either, until just now after I moved stuff manually from my ship. Well, my inventory just got bigger after playing 6 hours like that.

My home planet is pretty cold. Looks pretty nice though. I managed to make a friend.

Re: No Man's Sky

So you can only sell what's in your exosuit, or what's in your ship, or both? I'm confused, I can't sell my gold either

Re: No Man's Sky

It's really finicky whether you can sell your ships inventory or not. At outposts you've gotta be docked on the landing platform. Then only the trade bot will buy from your ship. Individual traders will only buy from your suit it seems.

Re: No Man's Sky

I went on a drop pod hunt, my exosuit now has 26 slots.
really need a better ship, only 16 slots.

still in starting system after 9 hours of game time according to steam.

Ah, I happened to log out on a platform of a trade station. So i wasn't crazy, ship inventory isn't always there then.

I believe it depends on how close you are to your ship. If your ship is in proximity to the merchant, you can sell items from the ship to the merchant. If you're parked on a spaceship, you are always "in proximity" to the space station merchant.

I've never seen the case where one can only sell items from the ship...? Does that actually exist?

Re: No Man's Sky

The reviews are interesting. The game is pretty much exactly what I expected. It's a really neat piece of sandbox technology with a fairly grindy core gameplay, but I'm impressed with the variety or environments, and love the art direction. It's a really nice initial release from a small dev team. Rather pedestrian core gameplay is positively augmented by the environments/exploration and art direction.

For me there's 30-50 hours of gameplay here, and it's worth the full retail price of admission. Also support devs pursuing ideas like this.
