Rules

1) Keep it civil.

Disagreements and dissenting opinions are fine, but there's no reason to get hostile. Explain your position civilly and accept differences of opinion.

This also extends to a ban on posts promoting hostile groups or griefing / trolling actions, such as "hunting" players who don't want to be involved in PVP or building bases designed to cover / destroy another player's base.

Generic, negative shitposting is also not allowed. (This game SUCKS! Sean lied! etc)

2) Keep it relevant.

Posts should relate to No Man's Sky in some way.

Off-topic comments & conversations are fine, but actual posts & links shouldn't be off-topic.

Non-monetized self promotion may be removed at moderator discretion if it becomes excessive

4) No AI-Generated Content

Posts which primarily feature content generated by AI will be removed.

Posts which feature auxiliary AI content - for example, using an AI background remover for graphic design, or posts which utilize AI image-resolution enhancement tools - are permitted.

5) NMS Community Network Rules

These rules apply across a network of No Man's Sky communities, including c/nmsgalactichub. Severe rule violations may result in a ban not only from this community, but other communities in the network.

While doing the 10 years anniversary expedition the planets are plastered with communication beacons, bases, and other stuff that totally destroys the immersion.

I turned off multiplayer but all those things seem to stay.

I get that NMS is a multiplayer-first experience nowadays but how can I immerse myself in the old “last traveler” idea?

I wanna get more into cooking, but a lot of things need milk. So we just got the blueprints for the automatic feeder and automatic milking machine (can't remember the exact names for them and our game being set to German doesn't help with that, haha).

But we can't find them in the build menu?

They...should be in the build menu, right? If so, what category are they in?

Edit (9/7/26): couldn’t get the video going, I’ll repost it later with an updated version

Side note: I dunno which interior I want, this is an exploration ship, used to be all ambassador habs but the steam/mist from the hydroponics was clipping into the captains quarters and now arrrrg choices :( but yeah thats why it no longer has decorations in the captains room or plants. Maybe I'll make the hydroponics and refiner titan, medbay and crate room thunderbird, captains quarters. Stupid brain who's side are you on (not mine clearly)

RANT OVER

Anyway decision paralysis aside title says it all, a quick tour of my corvette. I really like the layout as each boarding ramp has a purpose, the front is boarding from the ground or teleporter, and the middle one is really for taking the stairs down from the captains quarter to teleport down. If I had planned ahead when building I woulda added that one entryway that moves the floor down, think its the titan boarding area

Kinda lucked out on the garden as originally it was planned to just be a passage way, but then 5 min later realized I could add the gardens, and I had enough room for two (or one full planter?) of each biome, nip nip near the stairs, and sac venom on the floor below

Moving downstairs and forward is the refiner room. It refines. This room was kinda out of necessity as to provide a wall between this room, the med bay, and crate/production room. Moving downstairs is storage. I think the only time I've been down here outside of the entry/exit is grabbing materials for settlements while using my freighter as a bookmark in other system. But using the numbered glyphs I feel like just adds that bit of pizazz. (Fun fact my first corvette had storage on level -1, so if this ship was built like the first one, ramps would take you into the refiner room and you could go down to habs that would be flush with the space station floor)

The captains quarters is under remodeling as ofc the one room I decide to delete is the most decorated one, it wasn't cmuch but had some lockers, a corner couch near the back, but go go gadget indecisiveness (is this post just disguised as me asking for help deciding which hab...? probably)

I have no idea how well image uploading works so hopefully it did, but heres one of my favorite decorations. Basically using a holographic sign as kinda a shield for the atmosphere inside (even tho you're still find standing on top in space) but an empty hole felt just weird. My first one (deleted by the aforementioned switching habs) and had it PERFECT. This one is good enough being slighlty misaligned. But I only notice it if im teetering between the two and its a few pixels off and not worth fixing it cus that'd prolly make it worse

Anyways Ive been working on this thing on off since after the corvette expedition, and kinda serves as to be an expedition ship, and thankfully the mobile flying fortress that can land on planets is the one build im really proud of... which is more than can be said for numerous planetary bases and a freighter base torn down and rebuilt and torn down numerous times even pre endurance and is now a hallway with a planet scanner, teleporter, and storage SOMEWHERE

This post is in no way meant to complain about all the amazing content that was added to this game after release. That being said one "complaint" heard about the game is that a lot of the content feels added on and there doesn't seem to be one overarching mechanic or one cohesive grand design. Xeno Arena being a prime example. It's a criticism that I can relate to but it hasn't stopped my from putting in >170 hours.

I thought it could be fun to fantasise about ways to "fix" this. For instance one idea I had that would be relatively easy to implement is some sort of automated trade routes. You could tie together bases, settlements, settlement buildings and level, standing, capital spaceships (level), frigate expeditions, squadrons, maybe even some exclusive routes from community events. Rewards could include freighter upgrade/storage modules, the only sort of rare "loot" left in the game, or "exclusive" corvette parts or maybe even quicksilver or nanites.

I (16,16,16,16,Autophage) responded to a comment asking about going to the next galaxy via a core jump. I'll call them "Interloper Kyle". Interloper Kyle asked for "no spoilers".

I described the general process for travelling to the galactic core, then jumping to the galactic core, informed them there was an animation, and that you spawned in the next galaxy with a "special surprise". They said no spoilers!

I was hanging out at the 00ει010λµ bar and my Overseer said I should've warned Interloper, that the "special surprise" isn't what they meant by "no spoilers". the settlement's assassin said that I was in the clear, that the "special surprise" is a rite of passage. About this time, Rucion walked in from their shift at the Pungent Food Cannery, so we all bailed, but it's got me thinking.

I haven't heard from Interloper Kyle, and comms message get returned "kzzzzzt". Should I have warned Interloper Kyle to pack some Repair Kits and extra Wiring Looms? Pick up an old hauler from the local Trading Post? AITAH?

We've played a little bit of Pokemon, but never really got into it. Probably because of the peer pressure from other furries to like or at least know all the different critters.

In NMS everyone's procedurally generated, so there's none of that! And it turns out the battle system is really fun. I like all the buffs/debuffs/shields/"hit after 3 turns"/etc. moves.

Oh, and it's all holographic, so no one gets hurt.

I do wish you got the opportunity to start swapping moves before getting to max level, though. Can't even start tinkering before maxing out.

April 08, 2026. Hello everyone,

This is already shaping up to a big year for No Man’s Sky, as we celebrate our tenth anniversary year!

Even we struggle to know how we pulled off so many large updates in 2025. 2026 is building steadily on that momentum. Our small team is excited to share our latest update…

Our new update is called XENO ARENA and it's pretty wild! Xeno Arena lets you raise, train and battle the alien creatures found across the universe. Most of the planets you’ve visited in your travels have always been teeming with wildlife - and now, for the first time, those creatures are not just your companions, but your squad and maybe your champions!

How is this even possible?

I made a simple word substitution tool in Go to translate English to Gek for a No Man's Sky activity log project. You can see the result here; gemini://zaibatsu.circumlunar.space/~cat/nms.log

I haven't played in a while and came back to this 10m bill haha
Maybe not a lot of money, but its about half of my units.
I can't even remember how i ended up with this settlement on a desolate planet with extreme wind speeds.

Pretty cool though, I'm going to have to check this settlement mechanic out.
Maybe start another one thats not on a hellish firestorm planet.
