Re: No Man's Sky

I don’t even understand how the multiplayer works. If I’m not playing can others still be in my system doing stuff?

Re: No Man's Sky

Inventory management is kind of killing me ATM. I don't know what to do with half of the stuff I have. I know to keep the basics to stay alive, but, just sell everything else?

When you find the exosuit upgrade pods on land, focus on unlocking the Cargo slots. You can carry double the amount of items (500 instead of 250 for the minerals) so I have my Carbon, Ferrite dust, and Oxygen in those slots. It's freed up 6 slots in my general exosuit inventory. To open up the 4th cargo slot in a space station shop, it's gonna cost me 200,000 units. The other general inventory slots cost way less than that.

I’ve just been upgrading my suit at the space stations. I didn’t realize the cargo pods where different types of upgrades.

You can expand all three slots (General, Technology, Cargo) at the space stations or the pods on land. Just have to press left or right on the directional pad to select where you want to add the new slot (you might always be able to move the cursor to select....I'm not on the game right now but I think I did that as well).

When you look at the screen with your backpack, there's a Tech on in the upper right, the Cargo(holds 2x as much as general slots) on bottom right and general on bottom left.

Also, you guys do know to scan everything right? If you scan even a rock or tree most of the time it will give you a second element. I just used my multi tool on a tree, gave me carbon. Scanned it, said another element was frost crystals. Used tool again and got both carbon and Frost crystal. You don't get a lot of the second element, it's not a 1:1 ratio

Thanks for the info guys.


I guess I messed up. Might need to warp and visit a new space station to unlock those cargo slots. I put them all on the suit. Only like 3-4 so far though. No biggie I hope.

It's on sale for $10 on Walmart right now. Just ordered.

Re: No Man's Sky

Errr... PROTIP: Do NOT shoot the Whispering Eggs.

Re: No Man's Sky

Definitely do shoot the eggs. But do it so you have a roof you can fly to. The way to go is to shoot the egg, grab the larvae with your pickup button (x on Xbox) and then rocket launch up into the air and land on a roof.

The $$$ you get for those things is great.

This is a really cool game. Just a very nice looking game with a killer soundtrack and it is super deep. Very grindy, but so far I don’t mind that too much. We will see how that goes over time.

Ahh, okay. I thought somehow you could harvest the eggs without having to fire on them, but I guess not. For those who haven't yet, I won't spoil what happens when you shoot them, but be prepared.

I'm finding myself making all kinds of mistakes, but that's the reward that comes with a game that doesn't hold your hand through every single process. Live and learn.

Re: No Man's Sky

To add to the whole whispering egg thing....

Spoiler

Go to a space station and get a kill creatures contract. Don't kill any creatures until you come upon the whispering eggs. When, as I like to call them "the green menace" appear, kill them and it counts towards the contract. They just keep coming so it's a fast and easy way to complete the job.

Re: No Man's Sky

Anyone have any tips to find drop pods? I warped twice just now to at least unlock my first two cargo slots but that **** is gonna get expensive quick. I’d rather go the free route. I haven’t seen a pod yet though.

Re: No Man's Sky

Well, I just discovered that my base is in primo position. I'm sitting just over 1,000u away from an abandoned building with whispering eggs up the ***.

First time, I parked a little bit away and destroyed an egg (but failed to pick up the larval core quick enough), before being attacked. Here I was expecting to be swarmed by those flying sentinels, not those ******* things which attack you.

I unloaded on them thinking I could just kill them and continue collecting goodies, only to realize they keep spawning faster than I can kill them. By that time, I had backed up so much to keep space between myself and them that I had to make a sprint to try and reach my ship, only to die right next to it.

So I respawned, grabbed my inventory, went back, destroyed another egg, actually grabbed the core this time and jumped in my ship and hauled *** out of there.

I've since got a nice little system down. Land my ship as close to on top of the whispering eggs as I can. Jump out, destroy egg, grab core, jump in ship, launch the **** out of there, fly back to my base, wait a few seconds, fly back to the abandoned building, by which time all those things should have despawned, land, rinse, repeat.

Reading, you guys talk about flying up onto the roof of the building. Do they eventually go away on their own, or do they continue looking for you after you jetpack up onto the building? If they go away on their own and it's just a matter of waiting for a period of time, I'll start doing that instead of using so much uranium refilling my launch thrusters.

Re: No Man's Sky

Alright, so they do go away after waiting enough time and a little encouragement from my bolt caster. Sweet! No more wasting my launch thrusters.

Already having 6 larval cores sitting in ship storage, and enough resources to keep my hazard protection filled up while I hang out on the roof in between egg grabs.

Someone here mentioned it a few posts back, just jump to the roof. I open first one, grab it, then fly to the top of abandon bldg. Let them go back underground Then I jump down and repeat. I hate that some sink into the green middle and disappear. But well worth the trouble. Just snagged 26 from one bldg.

EDIT: when you go to sell them, have them all in either your suit or ship inventory because the price changes. Let's say you have 10 in your suit and 10 in your ships inventory when you go to sell, when you sell the 10 from your suit the the +/- below the market value will get worse when you sell the 10 in your ship. This probably goes for most items though I have not checked. Hope this makes sense
