No Man's Sky Coordinate Tutorial

A short tutorial describing how to use the coordinate system in No Man's Sky to revisit structures and other locations before you have the ability to drop a Beacon.

[@the8ctagon]

This is the perfect tutorial video, lacking the time-wasting bloat typical of many other NMS video content providers. Thank you for making it. It helped me, because I had been trying to navigate based on the coordinate reading alone, having forgotten that the HUD navigation ring has north and south markers.

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Thank you for the kind comment! Glad you liked the tutorial, and thanks for mentioning the lack of bloat. I hate that stuff!!

[@JackWiizard]

Very rare for NMS videos indeed

[@roaringbeardragon4531]

Thanks now I can finally find the living starship quest locations

[@barnie8723]

Same that’s why I searched this up Lol

[@thesealich]

My coordinates are stupid -10.3 and +100.0

thanks for the tutorial, there aren't really any videos touching this topic on youtube like this

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Glad you found it useful!

[@savhunter4678]

Iv been playing since day one of release. Never needed to used coordinates until now. Appreciate the video with the quality explanation. 👊🏻

[@1michael697]

How in the fuq am i suposed to get to -5,47, +173.30

[@xavierrooks8627]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, but I have the following problem: I have the coordinates of a specific planet in a specific system. I have managed to fly to the specific system, but now I don't know how to find the planet. My question is: How do I use the coordinates of a planet to find it? Does anyone have an idea? The coordinates are: 0ED5:0080:089D:00AD.

[@mrtrashinthecan345]

What’s funny is I’m literally on top of the coordinates now and no ship in sight

[@Arpeggio007]

Hey Colorsfade, Thanks for doing this so quickly after my request. Champion. I quickly realised my main issue was that I fly predominantly in third person, so the coordinates were never visible.

[@YodaBSith]

*If you can't see coordinates while flying:* On PC, hold down ALT and use the mouse to look around your cockpit. You may also see it while boosting.

[@teeodee4924]

So appreciate this! I was having a heck of a time.

[@reyariass]

I honestly didn’t realize there was North and South indicator on the compass while in your ship

[@tjslater2006]

Happy to see you using this :)

[@shehancomes]

So useful and easy to understand 🙂

[@Czecher86]

0C96:007E:0D52:0043 need to go there but what coordinates are these?

[@tzeffsmainchannel]

I don't have NMS, but your tutorial is shorter and works in *Elite Dangerous!* 😎👍😃

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Wow, that is cool to hear!

[@christopherhayes1369]

Really helpful, thank you!

[@killercaritas9442]

Thanks brada I salute you .

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Excellent!

[@eduardosilveira5803]

Excelente. Muito esclarecedor. Obrigado!

[@allisonnovotny8880]

Thank you so much now I can find where the egg goes so I can get that living ship🙄😂👏🏻👏🏻

[@nachoman5910]

@Gbeats my game crashed when I could literally see the base and I lost all progress

[@ElliotIbrahim-gr3gz]

When i point directly north or south and drive the east and west coordinates keep changing too. I just dont get it

[@CakePrincessCelestia]

I started the game about a week ago and must have been completely blind. Never saw the North and South markers...

[@nachoman5910]

Got so close to the unstable coordinate base for the living ship, my game crashed and I’m no longer in that system.

[@calvinphelps8786]

How do you tell which direction is north? I'm on PC and I don't see anything that says north on my game or your video

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

At the very top of the screen, in the center, is an arc. Small icons will appear on it, including North and South, depending on which direction you are facing.

[@adiasyraf7749]

Why's my ship doesn't display the coordinates? I have to land and scan through my visor over n over

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Adi, what system are you running on? PC, PS4, XBOX? Have you adjusted your UI from the default game at all? Using any UI mods?

[@awestro]

@@ColorsFadeGaming It doesn't display the coords in third person view. Do you know any way to make it display it?

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

@@awestro Switch to 1st person view.

[@lokeman8492]

Yup, fuck stick here explains the obvious of what coordinates are and how to use them. Never once explains how to actually display them. None of my huds have coordinates, none of my options screens have coordinates, button map has no info either. Is it a fucking 3rd party app of something?

[@kenkanifffromconnecticut3963]

I really can't find the coordinates on my ship, i have the starting ship btw.

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Are you playing on the PC?

[@edwardplain4688]

Thanks man

[@JonasGrumby]

Is there any marker you can put on a planet that you can see from the galaxy map from hundreds of light-years away?

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

None that I am aware of. You can put down a beacon, but you can only see that once you are in the system. The only other way to identify a particular system is to put a base on a planet in that system. That will allow you to detect it in the teleporters.

[@GingaKing]

Is there a way to input co-ordinates into a machine and follow it?

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

No

[@tommccaughey5806]

Or does it work on console

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

It is not a mod. It should be available on the console version of the game.

[@BAHB420]

All this tech and no one has figured out a map. Sooooo stupid.

[@cpasket122]

Bruh it’s a map almost the size as our own universe. It would take almost 585 billion years just too see every planet

[@tommccaughey5806]

Is that a mod?

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

Not a mod.

[@MarioKiller-wv4xy]

What solor system is that

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

No idea.

[@Hydrov]

how did you direct north

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

I'm not sure I understand the question. What do you mean exactly? At the top of your screen is the compass; it will show you North and South on a planet.

[@ynkybomber]

Well thats not needlessly complicated...

[@cigleto]

My ship doesn’t have coordinates

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

You gotta be in first person mode to see them.

[@cigleto]

I am, i have the starter ship tho.

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

@@cigleto Coordinates still exist on the starter ship. Look here, here's a picture from my first episodes. This is the starter ship: flic.kr/p/2ojhBmF

[@cigleto]

@@ColorsFadeGaming for me it just says a certain ammount of uniuts ig im on a quest

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

@@cigleto I dunno what to tell you. Quest shouldn't make any difference. You using a different language set? A mod? Something in your configuration? By default, the coordinates are there. I don't use any mods.

[@MikeWaterJotaro]

I didnt understand :(

[@AraneaLIVE]

This is extremely unintuitive. It's ridiculous...

[@ColorsFadeGaming]

They could have made it better, yes. I didn't design the system though. Just showing how to use it :-)
