NMS: Played a little more survival mode last night. Got my ship fully repaired and took off to explore the planet a little. Very unsure what I'm

Posted by kilbowl full of jelly (aka kkuphal) Dec 13 '16, 07:45

really looking for but rather quickly found a Trade Hub which was great because it allows for fuel free takeoffs.

Very different than the original game in that there is now a guy you care hire there (I assume for my base which I don't have) but I decided to try and built a signal beacon on the trade hub. Using this I could locate various structures and picked Habitable Base (figuring I needed one)

So I took off again and went there and sure enough it is a one room base I can claim (which I did) so I now have a place to call home though it still costs me fuel to take off from there. I also used this to locate a colonial base which got me (luckily) the heat shield tech for my suit which I really needed for this planet so now I can pretty much walk around freely.

I think my goal now will just be to upgrade my ship after collecting resources so I can survive in space as I hear the pirates are really aggressive. I don't much like this planet so I want to find a new one so I don't expect to be expanding my base much though it seems pretty easy to do.

      - I grew bored with the first one and never finished it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 13, 08:39 3
        
        and you think NMS is going to be better? - groiny Dec 13, 08:46 2

        I have not started it yet, because I know when I do, I will disappear down the rabbit hole. -- nm - groiny Dec 13, 08:12 2
        
        be sure to set up a Bethesda account--the ability to mod on-console makes it even more enjoyable - ML Dec 13, 08:16 1
        
        I already did, my daughter has been playing it. -- nm - groiny Dec 13, 08:22
I been playing normal mode. Expanding your base is key (more) - decline Dec 13, 07:50 10
- ah, I was wondering how you get those upgrades. Hmm. I didn't really want to invest in this planet but maybe I'll have to -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 13, 07:50 9
  - you can have multiple bases (well at least a frieghter base and a land base I think) -- nm - decline Dec 13, 07:52 8
    - The one guy I ran into was a scientist. Any tips on how to find more? The only "panel" I could build was construction so I need to find that guy -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 13, 07:52 5
      - space stations and you will probably need to hit multiple systems to get all the staff -- nm - decline Dec 13, 07:54 4
        
        each species provides a different staff member -- nm - decline Dec 13, 07:54 3
        
        Interesting. Not sure how I'll do all that if I can't build the advanced lasers. I'll have to read up on it a bit -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 13, 08:22 2
        
        the space station usually has at least 2 of the members I think, but I did have to travel to find others -- nm - decline Dec 13, 08:25 1
        
        my problem is I don't think I can survive in space to get to the station....I suppose suicide is an option - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 13, 08:28
    - although you might have to abandon your first one if you select a second planetary one -- nm - decline Dec 13, 07:52 1
      - you can also teleport back to your home base from any spacestation -- nm - decline Dec 13, 07:53
