I really want to get into this game, but I find the base building and resource hunting/inventory management to be incredibly tedious and not straight forward. Maybe I'm in the minority on that front or haven't spent enough time with it, open to hearing others thoughts on what I might be doing wrong.
That said, I'm very intrigued to jump in again with this update.
You're not, it's a common problem with large scale open world games. Definitely something you have to brute force at times, but luckily most of the essential grind in this game can be done pretty quick.
Piracy ftw
Valid points
For me I usually buy almost all my resources and have this HUUUGE stockpile. But what you pointed out is just how the game is and that may not be for you
Again for me NMS is and on off game, I play during expeditions, sometimes get a huge interest to play the shnikees out of it (like these past couple weeks) then the game vibes in my library for a while until the next interest spike or expedition
Okay noob question here, but how the fuck do I actually buy things? I fly to the anomaly and there's no vendors, I fly to the space station and as far as I can tell no vendors. I want to buy oxygen, sodium, basics like that, on top of space ship parts but the most I can find is a small terminal on a mostly deserted planet that sells like four things and buys almost nothing.
So in space stations there’s this thing that looks like Wheatley from portal. You can also buy and sell from the ships that land
High tier economies (3 stars, which you can see it when you’re in the system or if you have the economy scanner) will have more items which means an increase chance of the item you want
As for ship building (which is what I assume you mean by ship parts) you have to scrap ships. So either find a ship you own or buy one from the npcs that land and you can salvage ONE part from it then recombine it with other ships you salvaged. For fighters I think it’s engine, wings, and body
I’m kinda rusty cus I haven’t actually made my own ship and I’m haven’t 100% memorized the layout of the new stations and I really only play during the expeditions (time limited events)
If you have questions feel free to make a post. We would be more than happy to help a fellow Traveler
I just bought the game yesterday and I'm finding the crafting, building tedious too. Especially the learning process is top-heavy for me, since I was looking for a mental pause. But I haven't tried creative mode which I assume is more like that.
The update took me by surprise, coming one day after I bought it. I'll stick with the game for now and see if I get the hang of flying the ship a bit better. The option to buy stuff sounds good but I hope that's in-game currency and not real money :)
I know it’s in the video but here’s the patch notes for anyone interested
Does it still support VR because some of these changes would be immense.
I skimmed them but I would assume so I don’t see why they wouldn’t
Looks like still supported. I need to dust off my Index and give it a try when it releases.
I got a quest 3 recently but for some reason NMS runs terribly
I guess it makes sense now why they gave us an abandoned universe in the last expedition.
I missed that expedition. Is there any way to visit this abandoned universe?
No, but the expedition will more than likely return at the end of the year for a week or two during the annual "Expedition Redux" event.
This has to be the largest update-download ever for this game! Screams "new assets galore"! 🥰
I've been waiting for a world update exactly like this to jump back in -- reinstalling now!
I've only seen half of the deep dive video, I'm saving it for later, but it looks incredible!
This is gonna be some Journey.
Edit: now I realize it is Worlds Part I and not Worlds Apart.
Same, and I thought the "I" was just a separator... So I got to be excited all over again once I realized this implies there may be "Part 2" at some point.
