I might see your planet in the PC version then, just found out it's out tomorrow on PC, and got some nice new hardware on the way today as it happens :). £40 good, test new screen priceless.

You'll know it's me, I'll be trying my best to get round the profanity filters :D

I believe mid_gen is referring to the modules / upgrades that can be added for your suit/ship/multi tool rather than materials/elements.

What that synergy is though... *shrugs*

Materials/elements only stack to a certain degree - 200/250 for Plutonium for example. Annoying but should become ok with a larger inventory.

Yeah cheers, I see now.

Does anyone know if its possible to re-visit location's.

I visited a base/trading station on a planet but not sure how I go about finding it again. It has a multi tool I want to buy. Do locations you discover such as outposts save to the map so you can navigate to them again, not sure I will find it otherwise?
 
Locations you have discovered do appear in the discovered menu if you have the specific system > planet selected (I haven't left the initial system yet so I assume this is the case when you have a lot more listed).

I don't know what you can do beyond that though (maybe selecting it adds the waypoint once you are on the planet in question?)
 
Really enjoying NMS at the moment but I've got a couple of questions -

I got the pre order content for upgraded ship and multi tool - I have redeemed these both in game but what happens to the old ship and multi tool - don't I get any resources from them?

Also anyone else notice how the dynamic theme for he game is actually a static one?

No you don't :(

Also, don't redeem the pre-order ship before getting the hyperdrive blueprint, as otherwise you'll potentially be left unable to warp unless you luck out with a crashed ship/reward.

It's a known bug, pretty game breaking too

Is it safe to redeem if I've got the blueprint but not actually found the resources to create it?

Yea I heard about that - not good - Luckily I found a waypoint which led me to an outpost where an alien gave me a hyperdrive blueprint so I'm good for that
 
Let me post what was on reddit, explains it all here

I've put in a ton of time into the game already, and am about half a dozen systems or so in. Loving my time. Unfortunately, I seem to have encountered a game-breaking bug that has left me stranded in my current system, which consists of two desolate planets, one being sentinel hostile.
I've seen a number of other players here on reddit (1, 2) and on NeoGAF (1, 2, 3) mention that they're being affected by the same bug, and I think as more and more people approach the point in the game where you have enough money to buy ships, more and more people are going to realize they're screwed as well, unless Hello can jump on this:
If you (the player) finally give in (like I did) to the annoying-ass message in the bottom right of the screen telling you you have unclaimed rewards during a specific part in the tutorial (before receiving and building the hyperdrive), the game will skip over this section of the tutorial completely, and move on like nothing happened, with no hint to the player that anything is wrong. In reality, the player ends up starting the game without the ability to build the essential item that allows you to get around and progress in the game. What basically happens is the player obtains a ship with a hyperdrive, but not through the proper way of finding the blueprint and building one themselves and attaching it to their crashed ship, but just getting it by redeeming the pre-order ship. I guess the tutorial just sees the hyperdrive box checked and moves on, lmao. So you get the one hyperdrive that comes pre-installed in the pre-order ship, and that's it.
Down the line, this pretty much ***** everything up. At the space station in the system I'm in now, I saw a ship that I loved, had a bigger inventory (THANK GOD) and finally had enough money to make a big purchase. Before pressing the final purchase button, I noticed the ship didn't have a hyperdrive (no ships I had seen had had one other than the player's) so I assumed the hyperdrive automatically just gets moved over, whatever, another one of the countless weird obtuse UI decisions. It doesn't.
So now, I'm stuck with a ship with no hyperdrive, with no way to make a hyperdrive. Essentially freezing my progress permanently until this bug is fixed, or I accept defeat and delete my save with like a dozen hours on it, and start over. Whichever comes first.
TL;DR: Redeeming the pre-order ship during a certain part of the tutorial means you never get the means to build hyperdrives, an ability you need if you ever want to buy or switch into a new ship. If you do get a new ship without the ability to build hyperdrives, you're stranded in your star system.

Wow that is pretty game breaking. (edit: I mean the hyperdrive thing)

Interestingly one of the first ships I come across in the space station (a whacking great freighter thing with 30(!) inventory slots) had a hyper drive. I wanted it so badly but the guy wanted 4.3m credits. Why can't my character knock him out with a wrench and take it... :p

On a separate note I have had a decent amount of time to think about the game today and think I may have been a bit harsh on my initial assessment. I was really not in a good mood yesterday so that likely didn't help (either did the sentinels which wouldn't leave me alone!).

I think I am going to re-approach the game with the view to planet hop as much as possible, only scoping out a little of the planet for obvious waypoints / beacons and collecting materials I need or can sell immediately (at the nearest station).

This way I should see as much variety as possible without letting the repetitiveness get in the way.
 
Cool video. So far I've only had one pirate encounter, which I only just managed to win. Hampered by my complete inability to fly properly... :D

Time seems to have slowed, and this is an extremely long day. I need to get back home, so I can continue my quest to learn more Korvax language.
 
This is gonna sound silly but the hype behind MGSV was huge and in the end:

you were playing as YOU, we are all big boss etc.

Id laugh if in no mans sky you spend 40 hours journeying to the center only to find:

another version of you, waiting for you to turn up:eek:

"What took you so long?

I didn't get a chance to get the hypedrive blueprint and I had warped twice before I realised. I'm hoping I'll get another chance to get it, but in the meantime I'm just being careful that the ship I'm buying has one, so far all ships I've looked at do.
 
Thought I'd try a bit of remote play with the Vita over lunch, but we're in a signal black-hole in my corner of the office, wi-fi is a mess. :(

Connected, disconnected. Forgot I was on an extreme cold planet when I last saved, so I suspect I will have died. :D
