8 No Man’s Sky Next Tips And Tricks To Conquer Space

[@joshbaggy1]

I thought this was going to be another generic 'here's a list of things we skim-read from the patch notes', but i genuinely learnt a lot from this video. Well done for going above and beyond in helping new players out!

[@rockpapershot]

Thanks! We try not to waste people's time.

[@abyssdaimyo9990]

I love your profile picture lol

[@HarbingerCat]

Rock Paper Shotgun A better way to farm whispering eggs is to have a friend in a spaceship shoot them from the ship while you are on the ground collecting, when done like this it doesn't spawn the xenomorph things

[@joshbaggy1]

I saw another video where they used the terrain manipulator to dig underneath eggs to avoid the biological horrors. The eggs would then fall into the tunnel for you to collect. Just make sure to mark the eggs so you know where to tunnel to, and not to stay too close to the surface or leave to wide of the hole on the surface as the creatures will be able to jump in and attack you.

[@Drew-cw7hs]

you can also just place a signal booster next to it and stand on the signal booster and they stay away from you like the plague

[@boiky1714]

I would have never of thought upgrading the scanner as a method to generate units! Also, never knew that I could use the cargo tab to store twice as much. Extremely useful tips, thanks!

[@TheForsakenEagle]

Repaired one of those pods sizzling around on my first planet and got that scanner upgrade. Definitely a nice reward for exploration.

[@NWOrpheus]

If nobody has said so before, you can actually stack those S module upgrades for your scanner. The increase additively, not multiplicatively, but it's still a significant upgrade when you get 3-4 of them. I get about 120k for a normal plant now and I forget how much for a normal creature.

[@babybirdhome]

Terris Harned you don't get a benefit from stacking that many. Three of a type is the maximum you can benefit from, after that they just take up a slot. But you do get a bonus by stacking the same type next to each other instead of separated from each other or diagonally to each other.

[@zool201975]

"you don't get a benefit from stacking that many" *heh depends on the modules. with scanners you can get like 7-8 k % extra creds for plants and or animals. meaning an animal can almost give half a million creds if it is categorized as very rare plants average at 70-80 k per scan on average with 3 s class scanner mods which would cost roughly 1800-2100 nanyte clusters so in the case of the scanner modules it stacks quite a lot with just 3*

[@NWOrpheus]

There is a point where adding more does nothing at all though, and in fact makes all of the matching modules not work.

[@notsoninjajoe2857]

If you make a home base at an Abandoned Building and build a simple 4-walled room around the egg clusters you can farm the Larval Cores for +/- 4-8 million per run. The walls prevent the Abominations from getting you and you can farm at your leisure. When you make the trip to a space station and return the eggs will have respawned inside your farm boxes and you can repeat the process ad infinitum

[@Out_on_a_Limb_Life]

NotSoNinjaJoe thank you, sir!

[@lamwen03]

Even better (I got this from Cougarific) if you spawn the monsters on one side of the ship, you can hop over to the other side loot non-stop without any more spawning. There seems to be only one group and it takes a while before they notice you. He got 10 eggs before they twigged.

[@draconisfiresworn4240]

Never thought about doing that, genius

[@KnightViper]

I used the transformation tool to clear all the dirt immediately under the eggs, then create a central hole for you to fall down into (like a funnel). Then it helps to switch to first person view, look up and shoot the eggs. The balls will roll down into your hole due to the funnel shape for you to collect, meanwhile the aliens are just roaming around on the surface doing no harm... If you want to get really creative, create underground tunnels to each of your other funnel holes. And then every time you return, hop down one hole and travel between the holes safely in your tunnel system. $$$$$

[@12theunknown12]

KnightViper would you mind demonstrating this? It’s kinda hard to picture it. Thanks for the great tip tho!

[@nickmatta8340]

Just watched like 10 tips videos for this game, this is the only one that has actual useful information

[@TheHobbit167]

Something thats helped me, once you jump to three different systems youll be able to use the portal in the space station to warp to any station youve discovered and all your bases. You can also buy the portal blueprint to create your own portal to make which allows for basically fast travel from your base to the space station.

[@Loke2112]

Yes but where did you find the ION battery to build the portal?

[@lochvids108]

TheHobbit167 ty

[@shadowthetwisted]

ion battery can be crafted in your inventory, can't remember what it takes though

[@thedarkness125]

Tony Wiltshire ion batteries are fairly easy to craft in inventory. Cobalt yo.

[@NocFA]

Tony Wiltshire You find loads of those in cargo drops littered around the worlds. (The yellow ones)

[@flippantb]

Thanks, Matthew. Useful stuff. My tip after playing for a few hours yesterday is that you can leave the refiner while it is running - it took me quite some time to figure this out. While it is running you can leave and go gather more stiff like H2 or C, then as soon as it is done the processing noise will stop, and you can meander over and compress your next batch of carbon, etc.

[@gamesmaster1060]

lol it's self explanatory that it carries on running

[@troybradford856]

flippantb also the beam of light that shoots up skyward from it turns from orange to green when it is finished - a useful visual indicator when you are further away 😊

[@dave93x]

Lmfao you actually say there watching stuff processing

[@swordtofdamocles]

As long as you put it some where where you can find it back.. lost 1 my self.

[@justindavis5407]

Visor will find it for you. Shows up as a green icon.

[@bravepart]

The first planet the tutorial brought me to was super chill only hot rain storms and a ring around it with a sister planet practically touching it. I cannot even begin to describe the horizon it's epic

[@airanator1212]

The planet I started on was outrageously barren. As soon as I left it, the next place I went to was a paradise planet. Literally had palm trees lining beaches that sat against jungles. I still teleport back to the place every now and then just to admire it.

[@SCREAM6460]

Awesome stories bros 😂 👌🏻 I love taking good pictures of this stuff

[@franzusgutlus54]

It you buy all the movement upgrades and install them next to each other in the inventory, you will get more than the sum of their boosts. That ist true for all upgrades that belong together

[@SCREAM6460]

Frank Gütle so if I just put one on the single slot, with no other slots besides, what should I do? I guess if I discard it I’ll lose it :(

[@franzusgutlus54]

Tonny White to my knowledge, you cannot extent your ship slots, so yes, you have to discard.

[@seandonaldson50575]

Buy semiconductors (they run about 450k) then buy enriched carbon (they run about 65k) then make superconductors and sell those for about 2.5m. I started with 3 m and after an hour I had over 1B units

[@pauledwards4323]

Do you need a blueprint to make it?

[@seandonaldson50575]

Paul Edwards for the superconductor yes

[@nvandermark3517]

I think this just got patched. Can you still comfirm?

[@pauledwards4323]

Nilark I tried for like 3 straight days to just find the recipe for superconductors and no luck still so they must have messed with at least the odds of getting it.

[@Moni_G93]

@@nvandermark3517 yep....

[@nocturnalnun]

Upgrades that you buy with nanites can stack. So 2 "S" rank scanners get you about 200k per animal scanned. ALSO, if you find a station that sells an upgrade you want more than one of, buy the one upgrade and leave the station. Then find a save point, such as a trading post, then go back to the stations inventory will be restocked.

[@tododas1592]

Nocturnal Nuns so you're saying once I have bought and installed a S scanner i can find it again at another space station? And the part about finding a save, get out at trading post then fly back to space or just lamd ans go back to space

[@ryankl1984]

Damn, with was wondering this. Huge tip^

[@Valdarious]

You need to watch how many you buy, if you have too many, you will get a technology overload and have to dismantle one. The game will only allow you so many upgrades of the same nature. Tried with this movement upgrades. I had a B, C, S, A, tried installing a B blueprint and I overloaded.

[@TheFriendlyArab30]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I followed your steps and saved on a trading post but the items aren't restocked, any advice?

[@Scillyboy]

you have to reload the save then go back to the space station, easiest way is to buy upgrade get in and out of your ship and reload

[@notjoshcasts9296]

Regarding the Whispering eggs, if you put down a base computer near the abandoned building you can place wooden walls around all the eggs and get them really quick

[@tlasandukats6559]

Dulingar wow....didn't k ow u can claim building areas. This is an epic tip and should be pinned

[@AnadolununAslan]

Tlasan Dukats well the update did stress how you can build the base absolutely anywhere, I usually build one next to a trading post so I have access to ships and the galactic terminal without having to build my own landing pads or terminal

[@TheoriginalBMT]

Well this is genius

[@TheoriginalBMT]

I tried doing terrain manipulation as a means of controlling the creatures. I noticed the creatures were hesitant to go into ground that had been taken away, similar to a moat. Then I tried eliminating all land around the base, but they would come thru the metal floor of the exterior base. So then I assumed it was the ground beneath. So I took away all that ground so the base was hovering. But....they still came up and harrass me. So...that doesn't work.

[@landoblando8947]

7:14 you can also refine those larva cores in portable refiners for nanite clusters. One core Will give you 50 nanite clusters and the cores refine super quick.

[@lucidlywaking7286]

Once you get to the abyss questline get a submarine. Use its scanner to find drowned starships that = Free ship! Do it over and over until you have the type you want. Now take that ship. Now repair it. Make sure to repair the technology tab too. I love submarines!

[@someguy4251]

Ok, this was so damn helpfull. New to the game and after a few hours was thinking how to proceed from there as everything seemed so unattainable. You get a thumbs up and a subscriber. Thank you

[@Dragonsblade71uk]

I also missed the exo suit inventory puchases on the station. I prefer to get the cargo expansion via the drop pod, as they can cost the most. Last one would have cost 300,000 units in the station, while the normal slots are normally under 100k untill you get over 30-35 slots.

[@cmdell4693]

I just bought the game, it's really enjoyable, but how come I've never found a really nice, lush green planet yet! Everything is a toxic, radiation filled monstrosity lol

[@shivamib]

CM Dell so basically twitter?

[@deadeyecpt.7765]

shivamib lol

[@jenishpatelbmc]

There are different star types. Certain star types have more planets with lush biomes. I used to know them now they changed the game completely and I have to learn from scratch.

[@fcold9402]

Did you check all the moons, the first three systems I was in all seemed crappy then I noticed I had missed a moon. It's not lush and GREEN but lush BLUE with some green, red, gold trees. It is very nice. I had to move my garbage first base to it. At night I have quite the view of my original ringed toxic wasteland and a few other planets. They are pretty when not living on them.

[@teemuhella1511]

I found so many of them yet I just want nice ice planet.

[@competetodefeat4610]

Larval cores are worth more processed into nanites than being sold IMO.

[@user-vv1do1wg1j]

Why does everyone say this it's only 50nanites per egg

[@premiersoviet4852]

@NPC 86740296 Before Synthesis this was one of the best ways to get nanites in the game. With the advent of scrapping, however, making 10k nanites in 20 minutes by scrapping A and S class ships is better than gathering larval cores.

[@ShelJones]

It's cheaper to upgrade the Cargo slots of your exo-suit using drop pods, and buy Technology and Inventory slots on Space Stations. Cargo slots cost ten times as much as Inventory slots and fifty times as much as Technology slots. I don't think it's worth it for twice the inventory capacity.

[@rockpapershot]

This is a really good shout - the pricing of them hadn't factored into my thinking. I was more trying to draw attention to the benefits of Cargo slots, which I'd overlooked for my first few hours with the game. But you're right - using drop pod upgrades for cargo is more efficient way of doing it. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@ShelJones]

I also just figured out a way to get "inexpensive" technology modules. Buy C-class upgrades and install them. Dismantling some of them will give you technology modules. Much cheaper than spending sixty thousand units.

[@subsume7904]

Sheldon Jones 400 nanites is not cheaper than 60k units, you can scan 1 creature with an upgraded scanner and get 100k units, takes 2 freighter missions to get over 400 nanites. Both easy but scanning 1 creature is much easier. 60k is like $5 in the game.

[@ShelJones]

You may be have a point, because I didn't have an upgraded scanner at the time when I left that comment. My scans were not getting me that much units. I still think it depends on whether you have more units or more nanites. Early in the game I found it easier to collect nanites by uploading scans, finding them in space stations and shelters, or doing space station missions. If I needed units to buy ships or inventory slots, I'd be reluctant to spend them on tech modules when there was another way to acquire them. It's simple, when you start to make/have more units, you become more willing to spend them.

[@mistiehartloff5586]

You can make nanite clusters using a refiner and refining platinum!

[@dashausdesamadeus9557]

*TIPS* You can purchase exo suit slot again and again by just join random ppl game and go to the space station.. Keep in mind it will cost you a lot of credits to fully upgrade the exo suit slot..

[@ManTheManLV255]

Blitzk really!? This is broken AF and need to be exploited. Thank you

[@mistersmithers]

when you join someone, do you keep all your stuff?

[@nvandermark3517]

Derrick Smith yes you proceed with your savegame. Then play on host savegame world

[@aussie97531]

Nilark does the progress on someone else’s world save to your personal world?

[@TufanK93]

XxTheBurritoXx yes, imagine you beeing on another systen in your game and just met someone. That means even if you join someones game u still can travel to your own world but it takes timw obviously since u randomly spawn somewhere else

[@miguelwolmers9009]

When you exchange crashed ships for a new one you can also go back to your ship (Lifeform will be in it now) and buy it back from him for 0 units without exchanging the ship you got from him. Then use it for a discount on a nicer ship again later on :)

[@cobyjim]

Awesome tips. I found a crashed ship and have been mining for ages trying to repair each slot. Now you said about just selling it I feel stupid for now trying it. Doh!

[@GammaABA]

cobyjim The thing is repairing broken slots increase the ships value ( not sure if they changed it in NEXT tho )

[@lonestarr1490]

M. Eren Aytekin Slightly. But I'm almost sure selling the resources instead would yield a higher income. Plus you cut short on the tedious copper mining. In the end, life time's also valuable.

[@GammaABA]

Lone Starr That's true. I also saw that the value shown by the analyzer on damaged ships is only true when all slots are repaired. Don't do the same mistake as me and replace it with your old ship thinking it's more worth :P

[@Huggythepanda]

did you click buy for 0 units or exchange?

[@wawatooki]

I named the plant that always attacks you "Jackass" and a pachycephalosaurus looking animal "Mean Guy Who Headbutts You", after it kept repeatedly headbutting me.

[@TzuCraft]

So glad they fixed the progression and early game flow. I was one of those ppl at launch 2 years ago that spent all their time on the first planet and farmed droppods to literally max my exosuit and got all 400 words and upgraded to the largest ship All without Ever leaving the surface lol.

[@lonestarr1490]

So you basically played No Man's Ground.

[@PhoenixMF1986]

Yeah my first time through a couple years ago I found a planet bare of life but absolutely covered in gravatino orbs and drop pods. Maxed inventory in a few hours. I name the planet Gravatino. Too bad servers have been reset since so it's long gone.

[@ferenc-x7p]

Similar happened to me. I was maxed on many things, so later down the game was just super boring and it was just making hyperdrive fuel and going to the next system.

[@bbsheppo]

You don't need a save point in your inventory. Just get in and out of your ship and it does it for you. ;)

[@popcornfilms1]

That's auto save, manual needs point or discovery

[@RamblyBear]

popcornfilms1 what's the difference?

[@dsped]

Yeah, you can summon your ship and use it as a save point but that uses up launch thruster fuel. Since you have to craft launch thruster fuel now, it saves time and resources to keep a reusable save point in your inventory.

[@ProlificPianist]

Nich Hustler If you okay in survival/permadeath, you'll understand the value of having two active save slots instead of one. Basically: You only have two save slots. One being manual save, the other being auto. Manual save triggers from outpost beacons and the portable save item he showed in the video, and you can save/overwrite the save whenever you want. Auto save only applies to exiting your ship and getting killed. It's hard to explain the realistic value of the double save slot. But once you play in the harder modes, it is quite literally a life saver (pun intended).

[@nullvoid7188]

Joshua W Having the manuel saves are especially useful for accidents. Occasionally stuff doesnt load right you get out of your ship it saves and... Your stuck in a wall with no way out then you realize your ship is also stuck in the wall and you cant get in it. So you literally saved getting stuck in a wall.

[@zegamerz1980]

You do not need to "make an offer on the lifeform's starship" or even talk to the pilot to view its class and inventory slots. Use the Analysis visor (F by default on PC) to quickly see their type, class and inventory slots without wasting time to go through the conversation with the pilot. On the left hand side, you will see a "Class" line looking like "Fighter // A 19+4". Understand this: Type Fighter, Class A, 19 inventory slots + 4 Tech slots. Works also with freighters. As soon as you get down from your ship use your visor on the ceiling to see the class and inventory of the freighter. No need to talk to the captain for this.

[@Kni0002]

so glad devs stuck with the game, its so fun to play now!

[@dkyzar]

Very good tips! Would you mind doing a video on Freighter management? Making it your base and doing missions with it? Just got the Freighter last night and super excited to see how it works, but you probably know more as I started over with Next after vanilla NMS so I don't know all the new stuff. Thanks again!

[@rockpapershot]

I'm still figuring out Freighter management myself, but if I get my head around it in the couple of days I might post up something extra. My fleet is tiny at the moment, so I have no wisdom to share!

[@dkyzar]

No worries.. it seems pretty straight forward now that I have a bigger fleet. I try and only go for B Class min and you just want to make sure your fleet star rating matches or is better than the mission star rating you assign it to. I also noticed that my free freighter is an S class! Bad news, it's a Centrifigul type, so it doesn't have a huge amount of space like the others. The layout is a bit different as well.

[@Undecided_Username]

how did you expand your fleet i found another freighter but the captain only sold his overpriced freighter and not his frigates

[@dkyzar]

Yeah, Freighters are the purple icon when they warp in if you want to upgrade your freighter. Green icons are frigates for your fleet. Fly close and it will prompt for comms. You can hire them for your fleet.

[@CharlesWilsenach]

Also if you launch a mission and send a Support ship with - than fuel required will be less - So get 8 ships - one for each mission type + its own support ship and it also makes for glorious jump sequences.

[@YukiteruGasai]

Finally was searching for hours for something for true beginners I am enjoying this game, you just allowed me to fix a lot of the complaints I had, and no you are not the worst at space combat I can't seem to target them to save my life.

[@Dethelonius]

With finding a broken spaceship, if you build a base and teleport to a space station after you’ve claimed the broken ship, your ship will be at the station making it easier to sell/trade

[@tunemach]

After you trade it, you can go back to your traded ship and buy it back for 0 creds, so you got 2 ships for a discount

[@Kyle_Daden]

I had played NMS a lot since release, but haven't touched it in months. This video was a genuine help. Thanks!

[@lochvids108]

Thanks to this video i just bought a 1.8 million credit multi tool with 18 slots! Saw the multi tool in the space station and i went to see if i cud find some money and i found a whispering egg farm and got 2.2 million

[@gamesmaster1060]

LochVids It seems better to find ruins I found a single item worth 7 million then another one worth 1 mil

[@Jrdarknessking]

Jack K what did you find worth that much?

[@lochvids108]

Jack K i found some ruins, i tagged it, went to my ship and flew ans i cudnt see the tag 🙈

[@TheForsakenEagle]

I found one on one of those small spherical space stations, went and grabbed some more money, and when I got back the price was raised. :(

[@frankiemartinez8650]

LochVids nice!

[@roseroger6918]

wow man thank you a bunch. i just bought the game for xbox yesterday and have been very confused..overwhelmed with stuff to learn...this was a HUGE sigh of relief. im so excited to upgrade that scanner and start getting ridiculous amounts of credits..searching for crashed ships is awesome too

[@carpemkarzi]

I find that being a selective pack rat helps. When on a planet, grab any luxury resource available, also stock up on any major deposits you find. The new refinery is great for compressing those resources into better more efficient ones and you can deploy that sucker almost anywhere. Last trick is to mine asteroids, you can get a surprising amount and variety of resources by delaying your in system trip for a 3 minute target practice/mining session.

[@Out_on_a_Limb_Life]

Carpe Mkarzi Thanks for the mining asteroids suggestion. I literally half an hour ago just randomly discovered the mining asteroids because my ship ran out of fuel. While I was mining for fuel I go some silver - so now you've told me this is a 'thing' I'll be doing a lot of that in future.

[@carpemkarzi]

Janet Williams cool, it pleases me to have helped out.

[@masterluu8]

Wow, this was incredibly good content. I last played the game shortly after release 2 years ago and was a bit overwhelmed by all the new stuff they added. This video definitely helped me get on track.

[@maxboripat]

Bro this is really useful

[@ChrisBane]

Hey that was very helpful! The cargo slot tip was a big one for me since the game doesn't explain that. Here is a tip not listed to make big money quick. At the relic site where they ask if you want to learn a word or knowledge of the past. Select the "past" option, then fly to that site. use your tool to dig up 3 hidden keys and then open the treasure (usually buried). Last night I found a single item worth 7 million. Some are buried deep so bring supplies to refill your tool multiple times.

[@noro4096]

Wait, an actual useful video with things that people might ACTUALLY not know , Clap Clap

[@Rimidalv70]

As previous comments have mentioned, great tips! I only just started up again after NEXT and here is my personal recommendation in the literally first few minutes of the game to make money: get space-flight as soon as possible, mine asteroids for a few minutes, and then a bounty pirate ship will appear and it will have a minimum bounty of 100k units. They'll spawn every few minutes and are easy to kill with the default weapons. Your shield will (probably) regenerate before the next one as long you didn't take full damage. Get a few hundred thousand and you'll be set to buy the stuff for the upgrades needed later on that make money better.

[@lerp85]

Thanks so much this is going to be a huge help.

[@mikkdc]

As a NMS player who has been playing since 2016, I knew most of these but the tip about trading a crashed ship, after fixing only the launch boosters and drive is brilliant. Never even thought about doing that!

[@VanQ76]

Somewhat similar to the creepy eggs, I farm graviton balls on catastrophic terraforming planets. Makes a good amount of money but triggers a level 3 alarm (thou sentry are easy to avoid with the jetpack dash you mentioned 😎)

[@Jatt2613]

VanQ76 But a full stack of the balls isn't even worth one creepy egg.

[@VanQ76]

Jatt2613 maybe, but the catastrophic terraforming planets are literally drowning in gravballs. You can fill you whole inventory without a problem over and over...

[@airanator1212]

VanQ76 I promise you you’re practically wasting your time compared to what you can get from the swarm eggs. Build a tiny hut around each egg stash and you can infinitely farm them without being attacked. And if you don’t wanna bother with the building, just terraform the nests underneath and you’ll break the nest making it so monsters don’t spawn but you still get the eggs. In about 10 minutes you could easily have 5 mill if you’re farming them.

[@VanQ76]

airanator1212 I tried it, the payout is good indeed. But they don't respawn for me, so *meh*

[@RamblyBear]

Wow a tips video that isn't just stuff anyone who'd played an hour, and decided they knew enough to make a vid. Thank you so much. Subbed.

[@DIVINEWINDSWORD]

the rare S-class exotic ships spawn in blue universes with "adequate" resources the most ... fly to a trade station , or inside a neighboring freighter and watch the ships fly in and out ...you dont have to speak to ships to see the rank just scan it with your scanner it will say something like B-44+8 meaning B class ship with 44 slots and 8 tech slots ....now wait till you find S-class ships ....S class have fewer storage boxes but way higher base stats ... and the rare S-class exotics they added in atlas patch have the best stats and lowest spawn rates

[@DIVINEWINDSWORD]

the rare S-class exotic ships have the gold trim and angelic designs

[@DIVINEWINDSWORD]

and a few look like giant squids

[@DIVINEWINDSWORD]

you can see the list of rare S-class ships on the WIKI

[@subsume7904]

I found both of mine in a prosperous economy, they like to land at landing pads that you personally built. One was only 7mil and the other was only slightly more than that.

[@nicolew8321]

This is the first tips video for the update that I have found to be helpful so thank you so much. Played when it first came out then moved on till now but the game is greatly improved from its release version. Started over just to get back into it and the story from the start and these tips will get me up to my old characters level quickly.

[@grumpalo712]

Great tips. cheers.

[@ojdotts]

Another option for the Whispering Eggs is to dig a tunnel below the "batch" with the Terrain Manipulator and then a vertical shaft directly under it. Hit the eggs with your weapon of choice and collect the larval cores as they drop, the xenos can't reach you either (odd given that they're subterranean). I call it the Great Eggscape method (soz :P)

[@TyDie85]

If you find a monolith, choose "learn secrets of the past". You'll be taken to an area where you can find ancient keys, and then use them for a box that will contain something VERY valuable. Edit: I'm sorry for being inaccurate. But I believe you'll need the terrain manipulator, if not the terrain manipulator, then it will be the advanced mining lazer. But these are things you need anyway. Have fun gaming :)

[@lonestarr1490]

I found a book of poems that sold for 400k. You not always need the terrain manipulator, but sometimes it's needed. So it's better to have one installed. Oh, and maybe you should include a warning about those shiny balls (Gravitino balls) frequently lying around on such locations. At least until one has found all the keys and opened the crate. Because picking up one of these light bulbs will trigger the sentinels to attack - even if there are none of them nearby.

[@airanator1212]

Nah bro. It’s all about learning the language

[@vivanecrosis]

Great tips! My NMS is on the PS4 but these tips still help. My favourite tip was that upgrade your cargo station in your suit. My preferred method is to teleport around the space stations. I think the upgrade becomes available again at some point. One way I love to make money is to collect Storm Crystals.

[@fcold9402]

Just was amazed to get my free freighter before taking my break and seeing this video. BTW space combat in this game is terrible, especially when compare to Elite D. I really had no idea what I was shooting or how to properly manage my speed, shields or weapons, or even how to read the HUD to track enemies. It was just follow the red arrow and hope I hit something. If there are any good training videos for this I am willing to be convinced otherwise. Note that when you upgrade the exosuit in the space station as opposed to a pod you have to pay, and cargo spots are more expensive than regular spots. I would upgrade the cargo at the "free" pods but do regular at the stations.

[@Undecided_Username]

the exo suit cargo upgrades are really cheap if you did some whispering egg farming beforehand

[@Fenlander216]

Space Combat in No Man's Sky is terrible when compared to Elite Dangerous. I hope they add HOTAS support on the PC and PS4, but I can't see them doing that.

[@someramdomguy3185]

It would be awesome to add a combat update to make combat much better

FCOL D My main tip for space combat is when the enemy flies at you and goes past, hit the brakes and turn really quickly to get behind the enemy (pump up fight sensitivity in options). Then shoot as much as possible until the ship flies past you again and repeat. Still a bad system, but it at least made me really win every fight I've had since the first couple I had to run from.

[@subsume7904]

The flight was meant to be arcade-ish, the entire game is an '80s sci-fi stereotype even the developers mentioned the flying would be arcade style. But with better upgrades and S class ships with high maneuverability it gets much better ;)

[@killanotterinasecond]

Great video, really useful. The scanner tip in particular. I got one and was getting about 18k for plants. Then I got a second one and now I get 43k per plant and anywhere up to 220k per creature. And now I'm rich :D

[@julianjjz987]

this was pretty helpful thx

[@charbs7781]

Great and helpful video. Just one thing I'd add is you only get 1 free freighter, so make sure to decline bad freighters off the start until you fine a high grade/slot one.

[@DanielIXVIMCMLXXXI]

So much good information.

[@MumonguGaming]

Great video. I bought this on day one release and have dipped my toe back in the water, this is now the game I've longed for. It's so good. Another little TIP: Remember there is a whole lot more on a planet than just the surface. Explore water and caves, lots of goodies in both

[@DrummahMike]

I don't know what this Edward James Olmos is you're speaking of, that picture is actually Admiral William Adama.

[@jagothegamer5750]

DrummahMike Edward James Olmos is the actor who played Adama.

[@DrummahMike]

JagotheGamer Thanks, I knew you'd show up.

[@jagothegamer5750]

DrummahMike Sure, no problem buddy :)

[@exoyaboi3697]

This was the best story ive ever seen....just...crying

[@DrummahMike]

Get out of our moment

[@ja1yms434]

Grabbing missions from the mission vendor is great for nanites. Plus by doing them you'll also get lots done in terms of milestones and that'll unlock the anomaly after so long for the next time you warp which will give you even more nanites. Currently at 5k nanites.

[@cronk8219]

Ground control to major To- whAT THE FREAK IS THAT!?

[@Shep2345]

Believe it or not I only just got into NMS a few days ago and am hooked! The most recent ‘Origins’ update is amazing and I can’t stop playing! This vid helped greatly 🙌🏼👍🏻

[@PeculiarSana]

I didn't realize it wasn't obvious how to change the camera, it's literally the first thing I discovered.

[@rockpapershot]

I saw enough people mention it, so I thought I'd include it.

[@PeculiarSana]

I'm surprised mostly how little most players seem to explore and experiment with the game they're playing. xP

[@Cthalpa]

People don't tend to just explore their menu when they're too busy being stranded on a planet where the atmosphere is just on fire and their hazard shielding is empty in thirty seconds (that's what my starting planet was like haha)

[@BarManFesteiro]

Sana you probably found it randomly by just smashing your keyboard

[@garymcewen3074]

Thanks for the great tips. Another useful one is that if you're bothered by Sentinels, try mining at a long range. It still alerts them but they don't lock onto you.

[@MerikRelian]

I was unaware that you could expand your cargo slots. I figured those were something I'd be able to install down the road when I find the appropriate 'cargo" upgrade.... I knew everything else, but THAT is a great thing. Thanks so much!

[@Spider-Dude_Handle]

You saved my interest for No Man Sky Next. There's so much I didn't know and I learned so much from this thank you

[@a7xdomo340]

Wish I had seen this video before I figured all these things out after 20 or so hours in game. Thanks for the upload. Love the video

[@taliatipton5728]

Thanks to your advice about the scanner uploading I have made 4 million. I actually got two just to see if they stack and they really do. Thanks for updating this video. It really helped out a fellow semi beginner

[@57ashdot]

Scanner tip was huge, had no idea that it increased unit gain THAT much. Making a cool million units on each planet just scanning plants and animals.

[@jordanharrison8769]

Little Tip on the Larval Core farming. If you build a base computer near the site, you can build walls around each of the cluster, the tighter the walls to the cluster the better so long as not so close to cut off some cluster. Most will allow you to use only 4 walls to encase them all. THEN if you get in there (dont bother with the floor) and you do this for all the clusters, you can fly to each one and farm them in peace since the horrors won't be able to attack you. If they spawn inside, they will phase through the wall out, but cant come back in. This has another benefit in that if you have a base there, you can teleport back to that spot with the space stations. And you can essentially game hop by joining random games to farm the clusters over and over. Haven't tested yet, but you will likely have to build some walls each time you do this, so bring some carbon with you. But your base comp will still be there. Hope this helps if waiting on the swarms to despawn was annoying you.

[@maxduddles3040]

So many really useful tips, even for those who have been playing for a while. A must watch.

[@tonrunner1008]

Thank you for these tutorials. I’ve just repaired my shop and this helps a lot to progress into the game.

[@bakiegaming]

VERY helpful video. One small TIP about the whispering eggs though, if you find a building with those whispering eggs at both sides of the building, first shoot one egg on one side when standing on the roof and hop off at the other side. The horror aliens will stay at the other side while you farm the eggs on the opposite side. You will have to repeat this multiple times as like you said, they will dive underground after some time. You will have to shoot the remaining aliens and then repeat the process. It go's a lot faster and less change to die ;)

[@dacummins33]

Rock Paper Shotgun Big Tip to add re upgrading ships! I found that if I sit at a busy 7 ship surface port, you can tell every Ships Type, Slots, and Tech slots by looking at the ship thru the Visor! Shows like "A 28+8"! Find one you like, but want to "hold it" a while? Stand on top and scan for a better ship, until you decide - the ship will never move while you're on top, and you can buy at any time! Works great! I passed on a BEAUTIFUL exotic yesterday, bc it had so few slots. Great aide to selling those broken down ships you scavenge from Distress Beacons... Enjoy!

[@joshbonus3007]

Never thought about repairing the drive and thruster on broken down ships and exchanging it. Great tips!!

[@HafisCZ]

Wow. Very nice. I thought that you have to fix the whole ship before trading it. Also, very nice source of money I found were the plants that you can find in those ancient ruin-like places. Just collect keys from storages laying around and with 3 of them, you can open chest nearby that gives you cool things. I got one plant with sell value of 11M and another of 500K.

[@Vortechtral]

if you stand on top of one egg, it's high enough that the horrors wont attack you, so you can get all the eggs in one cluster except the one you're standing on rather then doing one at a time. They can push you off while scampering about to begin with so be ready to re-situate yourself if it happens. The melee boost jump sadly was taken away from us, now if you try doing it, you end up stopping, or if you get it to work you aren't moving any faster then if you just sprinted then jumped. It's best to use the space station suit upgrades for your general inventory and the drop pods for cargo as the drop pods don't cost you units to upgrade. The cargo upgrades go up a lot higher and faster then the general. Cargo however caps at 1 million units after like slot 30 or something. Every plant usually has 2 to 3 drop pods, and to find them fast, the way I did it was find one any way you find one, then after you get your upgrade, plop down the signal booster, and scan just for buildings nearby. Every time it always found another drop pod. Sometimes it found a 3rd one. However on most planets it will find a 3rd, but it will be the first one you were at.still, 2 per planet is a lot of cargo slots for not so much materials.

[@rjlolatte1]

Kinda cool to see No Mans Sky finally get to the point where is sorta what they said it was gonna be at release... but two years later. but gotta give them respect for actually doing it and not just abandoning it.

[@kevanhanley697]

Good video! I knew most of the tips however the crashed ship trick where you trade for another in a space station is very clever, and sneaky!! Tip of the hat sir!

[@Edcognito]

I am *VERY* new to the game (

[@spacekid701]

best No Man's Sky video I have seen so far :) Thank you! Subscribed

[@liamwilford4456]

Just a handy trick for beginners, choose one of the 3 species to be the one that you're agressive towards. For example, I have high standings with the Gek and Korvax, but in Vykeen systems I can attack all of the fleets I want, and get loads of money that way.

[@Den-qz3rm]

I save scummed a minor settlement and the gun panel went from a 13 slot multitool to a 23 slot that i bought, i believe for around 3 mill. Took a few tries, didnt seem like its working at first. Also i try to get at least 2 or even 3 larva core eggs at once. Save after the swarm subsiding message in case you mess up your next gathering, by an egg falling through the ground or you getting your butt killed.

[@8Chadly]

I was lucky enough to have figured most of these out, but the whispering eggs and scanner upgrade are new to me, great tips.

[@killersugar6816]

This is the most helpful video I’ve found for new players. Thanks so much.

[@PlebNC]

Here's a pro-tip: Be sure to explore any ancient ruins you find. At minimum, you'll find some knowledge stones or a text encounter that reward words and commodities and at best have Ancient Keys hidden around. Some keys are above ground but others are below ground, requiring use of the terrain manipulator to dig them out. The keys are good to sell themselves but there should also be a chest buried nearby that you can unlock with the keys. The chest are VERY lucrative as they are reported to drop commodities worth anywhere from 100K to 11 million (according to the No Man's Sky wiki). I've only found one chest so far and got a commodity worth 9 million (before system economy price fluctuation). In that instance there was more keys than I needed so I can either hold onto them for another chest or sell them. Crashed freighters are also good but require you to craft stuff to unlock their cargo boxes and those cargo boxes give you rads on opening.

[@thehappygamerguy]

I've got a tip. At 1:43 those little green eggs he is shooting are worth a ton of money! I made 2 mill last night from about 20 of them!!!!

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Learned soo much thank you so much for doing this, hope you do another one for No Mans Sky :)

[@KittenyKat]

Big tip, go for Portable Reactors as rewards once you have a freighter and can use its comms console to get missions. Cryogenic Chambers are a good choice as well -- both net around 5 million when sold on the market at your local space station.

[@seccosec]

Hey! The repairing abandoned starship bit is not working for me. I get in the ship inventory like at 6:05 but can't seem to interact with any of the damaged parts... Any ideas?

[@seccosec]

Ok, you gotta buy it (for free) first :)

[@jmcman6104]

Super awesome! Literally found a ship right before watching and now I know the trick! You earned a sub today!

[@strichards5337]

This was the best tip vid I’ve seen so far. Long time player who left years ago after shine wore off. Ty for helping be come back to the game.

[@NormaStClair]

Your tips saved me from giving up in frustration. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@DonWoschto]

This was the best guide I've seen so far. Great work!

[@leeaguiar]

Incredible work done here, thank you for your time and dedication on give this directions and help the game be even more fun to play with friends now!

[@tbone1388]

For 60,000 subscribers you are incredible content creators! I just subbed!

[@frankiemartinez8650]

Great video. One thing i found was on the first space station you visit there is a guy on the far right of all the merchants who will ask you to give him your mining tool. If you do he will give you a better one back.

[@dohlbrak]

Thank you for this, very useful. Liked and subscribed. This game is amazing now and all these tips are extremely useful, as the beginning can be challenging. Thanks again!

[@justinlaboy6837]

The ship swap one just blew my mind! Im here trying to repair everything like an idiot when i can just swap it. Genius!

[@devin4469]

late reply but you can actually put the larvae eggs in a refinery and get 50 nanites per egg

[@BecomingJJ]

You've just made my NMS experience 10x better, thank you so much!

[@samross6658]

I can't believe I've spent 10+ hours repairing my ship when I can just swap it!!! Thankfully I can enjoy the rest of the game now. Good video.

[@rockpapershot]

I would have repaired mine, but I'm horribly impatient.

[@AnGhaeilge]

Great video! I only recently bought No Man's Sky, so I kinda had no idea what I was doing. This video has helped loads. Much appreciated!

[@sullyd.225]

Definitely a great video for beginners. I have been successful employing the tips provided except for the distress signal that leads to a damaged ship. I used my signal booster, search for a distress signal and found the abandoned building. Each time I activate the terminal inside the building I only get a small handful of nanites. Am I doing something wrong or is the reward random?
