[@stepheng618]

Good tip for nanites. Setup a base next to runaway mould spawns. Teleport in and check it often. The mould will respawn every so often and can be refined into nanites.

[@ConCon]

They spawn? As a resource to mine?

[@stepheng618]

@@ConCon yes unusual deposits. They are literally giant balls of mould that roll away when shot with the mining laser. You can get loads of mould destroying them. They are yellow icons so quite rare like the nav data and other icons, set up shop near one with a refinery and a teleporter. 😉

[@stevet7695]

@@stepheng618 I think they scan as Curious Deposits with a two star yellow icon. Can often generate around 5000+ Runaway Mould per site (that's 1 Nanite per 5 Mould).

[@Dwarfi01]

Tp away and tp back and it's respawned

[@DynamicEncryptedCommunicat-k1e]

Ok, watch this on my TV and a lot of very good advice, but I think you missed one really big one. Each time you visit a new system, goto Space Station (SS), then goto the mission counter, do not do the missions yet, collect ALL MISSIONS for : culling criters, sentenals and feeding critters. The game allows you to STACK those missions and stack away. As you get more shields, weapons ect then find: 1. A planet with hostile sentinels and plant a base computer, 2 find a planet with hurds of critters, big groups, plant a base there. Great if you can find in the same system. Keep stacking all those until you are confy and go on a culling spree. You will level up so fast!!!!! Thought that was an important one for newbees to know

Please note that poor grammar and spelling do NOT equate to communication encryption. *sentinels *herds.

got 40+ hours and boy am i excited to upload all my discoveries the next time i play. Thanks for the tips!

[@jmike2039]

Funny how you haven't played long but provided me the most useful tips that got me excited to get home and try

[@selkirk57]

Thank you so very much. I am also new with only 80 hours and it never once ding-donged in my obliviously empty skull that I could add more exosuit tech slots as well as the cargo slots at the same place! Never even came close to crossing my mind. Like I said, big empty galaxy between the ears, lol. Thanks!

[@Crowned_Hearts]

Here's the best tip. Start a new save with expeditions IF you have already completed the tutorial of the game or know how to play, starting a new save with an Expedition skips the tutorial and gives you a set of objectives. The current expedition (expedition 14) requires you to jump across systems and elliminate an invasive species among other things. Its basicly a set of missions that are really easy to complete and gives you a lot of rewards that skyrocket your progress. If you want to skip the earlygame almost entirely, expeditions are your best friends, they are not always available they are time limited events that are up for a month or two but new ones release regularly. the missions arent hard at all either, like for example from the current expedition there is, walk 1400 units in storms, kill 50 sentinels (Sentinels are total pushovers even in the early game), hit 4 targets with one bomb, kill 50 hostiles inside the gorilla exosuit (wich the current expedition gives for free with upgrades as a reward of another mission.) etc. etc.

[@kwams26]

A couple tips: you can buy suspicious modules from outlaw/pirate stations. And if you want to smuggle and avoid being caught, buy from outlaw stations, warp to a base or your settlement (hopefully in a wealthy system) and then warp to the space station.

[@dancingkirby3591]

Awesome video. I really liked that this was a video with actual, helpful tips. Most videos just show how to take advantage of game mechanics. I enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more.

[@ConCon]

Awesome, thank you!

[@danielp.9948]

If you place the upgrades (for anything - starship, multi-tool, suit) together - they get a minor improvement. You'll see this, when they become outline with a color. So that's actually the reason the scanner modules are outline yellow in tip 11 "supercharged slots"

[@gozzhawk]

Adjacency Bonus. There are also supercharged slots now too

[@geoffos42]

This is the best "Tips for New Players" that I've seen! Bloody well done, sir!

[@MrPlasmaniac]

2 notes here: 1.The product range of the upgrade vendors is not "random" btw. They will offer the same upgrades in the current system. If a vendor has for example an S-class hyperdrive upgrade, it will always be S-class in that system 2. If you follow the tutorial/quests, you'll unlock a lot of stuff basically for free. That'll save you a lot of nanites or other resources...

[@wingwing8559]

@@MrPlasmaniac how far into the tutorial/quests should you go to efficiently unlock free items? I have just reached the anomaly. Thanks :)

[@MrPlasmaniac]

@@wingwing8559 It's hard to tell exactly. It's also been a long time for me, I'm playing since day one... I'd recommend to do them as they come along, but you don't have to. Just find your own pace. Note that some quests will only appear after you've reached certain milestones.

[@Murkelsable]

Another tip for nanites is to scan all fauna on a planet. You'll get a good chunk of nanites from the discoveries menu (up to 3000 for a planet with a large amount of fauna). Combine that with the scanner upgrade, you're gonna be rolling in dough and nanites pretty quick.

[@carlgarland4175]

@Murkelsable units. You get units for scanning not nanities. "Units Received"

[@hesoyam881]

@@carlgarland4175 you get the nanites from uploading the data

[@briwanderz]

@@carlgarland4175 no.. you get units when you scan A single new creature type.. if you get ALL of the creatures on a planet you get nanites.. you have to go to discoveries and check the list for the planet, at the top it either says "you have xx of xx Fauna scanned" or it says you got them all, click here to collect x,xxx nanites.. the more different species on the planet the more you get.

[@dtwnfunkystuff]

@@carlgarland4175 They are talking about the discoveries menu. You scan everything on the planet and receive units with your scans, then go to the discovery menu and upload your discoveries for nanites

[@WillFleetney]

​@@carlgarland4175 If you get all the fauna on a planet scanned you can go into Discoveries for the planet, click on Fauna then get a Nanite boost for completion of the set. Units for each animal, nanites are a bonus for completion

[@powerpc6037]

For the Atlas Pass, get the recipe for the V3 Atlas Pass and craft one of those. The V3 pass includes the V1 and V2 passes as well and you only need 1 in your inventory.

[@cybercifrado]

Thanks for the video - I'm a new player (just started this past weekend) and you answered two questions for me. I had managed to find the Teleport Receiver for sale on a Gek world, but didn't realize the range was just 150u. Thanks for that clarification. The other was the AtlassPass. It makes sense it stays in your inventory as the crafting materials are a bit pricey to be consumed each use (not the Cu - but the blasted CPU).

[@briwanderz]

if you start a normal (or custom.. just NOT expedition) game the story gives you a LOT of blueprints for FREE, no spending nanites or even data to unlock stuff.. some have said you get just about everything, but i haven't got that far, because i started the expedition before i finished the story / mission line, which i somewhat regret and now started over, and will wait till the last community step is almost done and do it again with my new character. important tip, if someone offers you a free freighter, just say no... to the first one. you get better offers after.. (unless there is some weird glitch and the first one offered is an S class freighter)

[@jonathangebert3006]

@@briwanderz yes, you can unlock a fair bit by doing some of the side quests. You can easily save yourself over a hundred salvaged data and a couple thousand nanites this way.

[@KarlStevens]

Additional tip: If you want to switch to another type of multitool (eg. you get a rifle) keep your old one for mining. Pistol multitools do less damage than other types, but provide more resources when mining. eg. I found an A-class rifle, and my original pistol gets me 20% more resources when mining. You can switch between them via the quick menu (under "Utilities" - the cogwheel).

[@scaleonkhan183]

10:50 I've been selling my junk this whole time!! I had no idea you could make it into nanites what the heck

[@drugsarebad97]

Here’s my tip from me a player who’s been here since game launch: Dont worry about the base the game makes you build for the tutorial. Just get 4 walls and the other few items to complete the quest. Then go find a GOOD planet to build a real base at . You can even delete the quest base right after u build it

[@KentoLeoDragon]

If you delete your base do you get your resources back or anything?

[@drugsarebad97]

@@KentoLeoDragon yes

[@Mrz_gotban]

@@Mrz_gotban Thanks for replying. That was such a newb question. I know more now. :)

[@CraigJohn-kt6xe]

Also, stack relevant upgrade modules next to esch other, for increased efficiency. For example if you have a bolt caster, stack the upgrades so that they touch, whether vertically or horizontally. The borders around each upgrade module will then be highlighted. That’s how you know you connected them successfully. Do this with your equipment.

[@Cheapshot420420]

whenever u find one of those broken machinery, there is 99% of the time a salvaged data within 20u.

[@gozzhawk]

Take Notes, like for real on a bit of paper, write down priorities, take note of Portal Glyphs, stick a base computer down. Do whatever you like, but always do the main quests. It can overwhelm some who are used to being pointed in a direction all the time. Cut Loose, have some strange times with a Pet or just build a beautiful base. Good Vid

[@ConCon]

Good tip 💯

[@jonathandiaz-ld1gv]

Very helpful list of tips! Thank you very much. Just started playing the game yesterday🎉

[@user-kr5vm8nk1d]

Solidly useful guide, thanks! Really well explained - I’m only a few hours in so this was really helpful.

[@tike2006]

👍 I enjoyed your 'introduction' video for new players. Simple, clear, and easy to follow. I just bought this game yesterday and already played 6 hours or so. It was a rough start as im not a skilled gamer, but the game held my curiosity enough to keep me engaged. I'll have to bookmark this video and refer to it. I probably should keep a notebook of tips handy too. I simply cannot remember all the tasks, inventory, what does what, etc

[@G22865]

I'm interested in buying but this video put me off. Seems like there's too much to learn. I hate menus. Is this game a no go for a casual gamer?

[@tike2006]

@G22865 I actually ended up removing it from my console a couple days ago. It's simply too complicated for me and a bit disorienting. It really bothered my eyes. It's a shame because it looks great, but I just couldn't get a grip of all the details, requirements, missions, etc. I'm a Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed player. They're easy for me to follow. No Man's Sky is beyond my capabilities.

[@G22865]

@@tike2006 thanks for the honesty. My eyes struggle when there's lots of menus and things to read. Like you I want to pick up and play rather than have to study things to learn. I just did that with Elden Ring and dont wanna go through that again. I wanted No mans sky cus it reminded me of breath of the wild but if the exploration isn't the same I think I'll give it a miss especially if you're into mass effect but can't get into this.... I'm going to wait for reviews of light no fire and towers of Aghasba to get My botw fix Thanks

[@Brille591]

I had a languagebug with the gek xD spended 1 1/2 hour talking to the same guy and he told me everything

[@zoenayru]

Another Tip : Save those slime that you find early on for late game. Can be refined for nanites or fuel for Sentinel ships via pugneum.

[@stevet7695]

They refine in this order: Residual Goop > Viscous Fluid > Living Slime > Runaway Mould (all at 1:1). Then refine Runaway Mould to Nanites at 5:1. You can get a lot of this stuff from Damaged Machinery or the consoles from Abandoned Buildings.

[@sergiofabianvieyra6363]

Tip for the inventory: Navigation Data and the cartographer in the space station are the best option for new players, you trade Navigation Data for specific maps and detect crashed upgrades for expanding the inventory, you need to fix them , in 3 hours i had unlocked all slots in the exosuit

[@arknark]

all slots including cargo and tech? That's pretty impressive

[@chrisboaldin3683]

Super helpful I started a second game due to getting a little lost in what to do

[@djee4077]

@10:23 i would of also mentioned to use the terrain manipulator because there is always a buried module around the area as well you can even see it marked on your screen in the video!

[@dreamingspace7218]

thanks man just got no man sky yesterday 2.4 hours in and this would have been a major help i got spawned on a high radiation planet almost died in a storm only lived because i found a cave managed to get my ship fixed and made my way to a paradise world in system where i saved.

Bro thank you for this video!!! I missed so many important information and sold too many useful resources 😆

[@Em7rR]

Nice video it helped me a lot! I started 2 weeks ago and i was always thinking that i was missing something and i figured out the issues thankyou!

[@CraigJohn-kt6xe]

Platinum and pungeum can be refined into nanites. You can also get nanites by trading upgrade modules that you don’t need at space stations. Kill sentinels, pick up the canisters that they drop. Sentinel glass shards often contain upgrade modules when broken down.

[@cloudzero2049]

Hi I just started playing and I have a tip. The sentinels will attack you if you take items from relic sites. It took me an hour of trying to find out how make them leave me alone (there was no countdown timer or anything). Turns out it was bugged and I had to leave the game and come back. Normally you hide or leave the area, but if you leave atmosphere then it gives you a SPACE wanted level and you have to fight off aircraft (gota go to a space station to make them stop from what I hear).

[@JuanRamirez-lm4vq]

This was super helpful. Cheers bud!

[@ConCon]

You're welcome! Enjoy the game!

[@LusterLaeman]

Holy shit. Hooooly shit. This was so very helpful. Each one of these things are news to me save for the npc language skill. One minor correction on that front - the "Visited" designation only means the npc has been spoken to, so I've run into dumb noob moments where I forgot to learn the language and nearly overlooked npcs because I'd previously spoken to them and given them a gift or just left the conversation without interacting. Anywho tysm this video seems almost tailor made for my level of experience with the game, so target audience reached!

[@DGoldys]

For the Exosuit upgrade, I like to go to the cartographer in the space station and by like 20 drop pods coordinates. It is relatively cheap and quite fast as you can just warp there. That way, I can farm all of them and visit new planets without spending lots of units or warping (which some times is very repetitive). I also find it faster that way since you can find several in the same planet.

[@michael_k_aus_S]

Wow! That's a really good guide. Full of helpful content and presented in a very easy to follow way. Thanks a lot. This will really help me out! Many greetings from Germany! *like*

You're very welcome!

[@geoserenity]

Tip from a console player, use keyboard and mouse on foot and gamepad for exocraft and ship. Gamepad has everything at your fingertips, and kB&m on foot gives you much finer control for combat, scanning and stuff like that

[@Natheya]

200 hours in and I still learned stuff. Thanks man 😂

[@alek2341]

What a helpful video. Wow, how many resources did I waste? Purple items? Who would have thought recycling slime can get you nanites? My god, I love this game but being new to it there is so much to learn but that is part of the fun. Still, I missed out on a lot, oh well. LOL

[@73pieces]

So when it comes to scanner modules etc if they are not a class do we not buy them period and just go without? Like I plan to stay in one system for a long time grinding the planet so idk when I’ll see another if the one at my station doesn’t have a class modules

[@robchatc]

If you speak to the NPCs again you can practice their language and you can get gifts and status upgrades

Tip Number 47: don't hold down the Starship weapons, you can tap the shoot button and they will never get heated, and you will not run the risk of cool down. 😂

[@dessertstorm7476]

As fun as grinding dialog to learn a language is, whats the actual point of learning words? Ditto with increasing your standing with gifts. I'm playing for about 30 hrs and it's so grindy, just running jumping zapping rocks, talk to 15 NPCs, inventory management hell. Not sure what the actual fun gameplay loop is? Pressing S is just the brake isn't it? I know going slower helps you to not shot past someone but it also makes you a sitting duck. The way you describe it is like its some kind of trackign feature. It's just slowing down.
