Gaming No Man's Sky

[nytebyte]

I just recall a LOT of resource gathering, which got old after a while. You couldn't even get off the ground in your ship unless you made "thruster fuel" or some shit, and it ran out fast, leaving you stranded until you made more.

I was more into following the story, but ended up getting stuck and couldn't continue. I needed to find like 10 different species of aliens and got to 9 and could never find the 10th one, even after hours of searching everywhere.

I had no incentive to continue after that.

When I played on gamepass with friends online it was pretty addicting. Though I just wanted to fucking loot and build a base, not so much do the story line.

The story line is boring. Really, really boring.

I haven't even built anything yet in my new game. Just got my ship flying.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

So, my base has grown. And I found decent ways to make money so I don't have to spend so much time on resource collection for doing shit.

Easy way #1.

1. Get the mining gas extractor and find an Oxygen hotspot. Collect as much Oxygen as you can.
2. Get a Medium or Large Refiner and combine Oxygen and Chlorine.
3. Sell to Traders in ships, not trade terminals. If you sell to trade terminal you will crash the economy for that system. Selling to traders in ships won't affect economy prices.
4. I found a system that buys it for a 5.8% bonus.

2 Oxygen + 1 Chlorine = 6 Chlorine. You only need 1 unit of chlorine to start, and then you can keep infinitely adding the chlorine back into the refiner as long as you have Oxygen.

Chlorine sells for about 600 credits / unit. I was able to easily refine 20000 units and sell it to get 12 million a pop. I still have this going and occasionally do it. But have found better ways.


Easy Way #2.

Craft a Indium Hyperdrive. Find an Activated Indium hot-spot. MINE THE CRAP OUT OF IT. Activated Indium sells for 960 credits per unit. I have a farm that produces about 3000 units per hour and has enough storage to hold 36000 units right now. So 36,000 * 960 = 34.5m every day with no more work than collecting it from the silo and warping to a station. As I get resources I keep expanding the mine so it generates and stores more Activated Indium.

I found a station that buys it for -1.3%. So I walk away with about $34 million every transaction.


Not so easy way, but makes more money, more fasterer #3.

Unlock the Fusion Accelerant, and Liquid Explosive recipes, and then later the Warp Power Cell, and then finally the Fusion Igniters (still haven't unlocked that).

I can easily craft 10 to 15 Warp Power Cores per day. Each Warp Power Core sells for $4.5 Million, and I still have left over stuff to craft tons of Fusion Accelerant.

I can make about $120 million per visit.

And some shots of my base at the beginning and as it currently sits.

My under-water out-post where I mine Nitrogen gas for the Nitrogen Salt needed to make the Fusion Accelerant.

And my my A-Wing star-ship I found. S-Class killer fighter. Its like a rip-off combination of an A-Wing, X-Wing, and a Tie Advanced.

units are ez

(Need a few mil units to start) Mine like 10k cobalt, sell and buy it at a space station until it goes -80% demand, buy out the cobalt from the people landing until you have 30k or so, go to new station, sell all (sells at near 0% demand) buy it all back at -80% demand, go to new station and sell/buy again. Keep doing until you have sufficient units.

Daaammnnnit this makes me wanna get back into the game. But I'm always away from it for so long that when I do jump back in I practically have to re-learn everything again. Especially after all the current updates. Gotta try and remember what system I last played it on too, ive got it for PS4 and Xbox

I had my finger on the trigger to buy this game because I really wanted something I could just jump in, explore and wind down. But then flight sim 2020 came out. Maybe if this goes on some massive discount or I can get it for free.

 

[IDAFC21]

This next gen update may bring me back to this game finally, since I'll have nothing else to play on my PS5

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Apparently it’s 50% off on steam right now.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Ahhh

I think I found the perfect planet to build my retirement base on.

 

[IDAFC21]

You mean you actually found a planet without acid storms??

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

You mean you actually found a planet without acid storms??

Its fuckin amazing. No storms. No sentinels. S-Class Power hot-spot. Fairly deep water if I want to build Atlantis. It would only be better if it were a T3 system. Instead its just T2.

Did I mention it also has a black hole in the system?

I bet I can also find a Stargate either on-planet, or in the system.

[Thirdgen89GTA]

We gonna build TCGLand? Gonna drag race Exocraft and build race courses?

 

[IDAFC21]

Oh man.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

MegaFarm 01 built and capable of infinite vertical expansion.

200+ large trays and enough power to sustain them. Combined with a NMS mod that allows you to collect all farmed resources with a single click.

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Its large enough that I actually went and dismantled my other base that I was still farming from.

The first (incomplete) load almost broke 900 million. I think when I get all the ratio's sorted out, I'll be able to 1 billion in a single transaction.

Now the game needs to give me a reason to be able to generate all this money. Cause right now if I just did 1 haul a month I'd be set.

 

[nytebyte]

I might give this game another try after they release the "next generation" version with updated graphics.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

So, I have started the NMS: Beachhead Expedition so I can obtain the Normandy from Mass Effect as a frigate.

Read it takes about 5hrs to complete or so and you have until May 31st to complete it.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

hmmmmm thats cool and I havent played NMS in awhile

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I'm kind of annoyed. Apparently DLSS is now supposed to be enabled, however I can't find it as an option, even under the Anti-Aliasing. I really do like the way DLSS provides like 95% of the quality, but performs like 20-30% better.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

It is mine!!!

 

[IDAFC21]

hot damn

I'll have to upload the full rez image to Flickr later.
