re: Official No Man's Sky Thread: ALL ABOARD THE HYPE SHIP

Just found a trading post on a planet I named Eden because it is literally strewn with those alien sacs with albumen pearls in them. I've made four million in the last 45 minutes just farming close by the trading post and returning and dumping all the pearls in my inventory. Might just do this for a few more hours...

Doing the same now, but with red cubes. The sentinels go apeshit when I take them.

If you get the grenade attachment for your gun you can blast holes into the ground, walls, ceilings and make your way out of a cave. Or into a hidden cave.

You can hold 250 in one slot and get anywhere from 52k to 55k

PSA: It took me awhile to realize this, but you can hold 250 of a substance in your exosuit, but if you transfer it to your ship one stack holds 500. So you can collect two stacks of Gold in your exosuit then transfer them both to your ship and they will be in one stack.

Spent the night trying to get to a signal on a planet that should have taken me 10-15 min max. Instead took hours to get 3/4 of the way. Swear every 100 yards was a new alien camp or alien monument to investigate. I'd tell myself I'd skip the next camp and just go straight to the signal. Didn't ever work.

Hopped across the planet all night before finding an outpost and selling all the trade goods I had collected exploring for about 250k. Bought a new ship with 24 slots for 1.3 million. Will make it to the signal tomorrow.

Started over on PC. At first, had a couple of frame rate issues and it crashed to desktop. Nvidia Experience gave me a pop-up for optimal settings for the game. Set that and it runs damn good. Didn't have the slightest bit of stuttering. Hopefully everyone else on PC will work out OK.

First planet, got 100% of all species. Finally realized it's easy to shoot the birds and ID their dead bodies instead of trying to mark them with the scanner.

Anyone naming their systems/planets? I decided to start naming them after planets on Star Trek...if I'm going to nerd out, then I'm going to go all the way.

Wait, are there really people who aren't naming their planets and systems? What a bunch of lazy fricks.

I've named pretty much every solar system after some variation of my name and named one of my planets 'Tigerdroppings'

Asode from that I've been naming them just kind of random or after what is there.

Like one planet I found had a frick ton of gold. Named it 'Leprechaun's Wet Dream'. Another one was cold as frick and your shield drained super fast so I named it 'Snow hell'

The only other random name I used was for some desert like one and I just named it Tatooine. Lazy, I know.

if you find a beacon and use a blue chip on the colonial outpost or shelter (can't remember), sometimes it'll give you a marker for a drop pod location. Those hold the suit upgrades.

I've put in about 20 hours so far, and if you really want to exploit the system to get everything faster, you can.

I discovered yesterday that when you go to the consoles at outposts that have distress signals for crashed ships, the console resets every time you leave the building and come back.

Each time you complete the code to get the distress signal, it puts another crashed ship out there that you can find, and each time you find one of those ships, it has 1 more inventory slot than your current ship, and generally is a different ship altogether.

I went from 23-26 slots in my ship just using the items I'd mined so far on the planet. This saves you millions of units upgrading your ship if you don't feel like mining/selling for hours on end.

Ok, so did it again this morning, you don't even have to leave the console. You can just stand there and spawn as many crashed ships as you want to get +1 slots each time. It's definitely cheese, but saves time on the mining front. Just stock your inventory with Herodium and iron.
