Introduction

This community is designed as a gathering place for the entire No Man's Sky community on Lemmy. It's a new community, created June 2023. We're open to suggestions and volunteers!



Rules

1) Keep it civil.

Disagreements and dissenting opinions are fine, but there's no reason to get hostile. Explain your position civilly and accept differences of opinion.

This also extends to a ban on posts promoting hostile groups or griefing / trolling actions, such as "hunting" players who don't want to be involved in PVP or building bases designed to cover / destroy another player's base.

Generic, negative shitposting is also not allowed. (This game SUCKS! Sean lied! etc)


2) Keep it relevant.

Posts should relate to No Man's Sky in some way.

Off-topic comments & conversations are fine, but actual posts & links shouldn't be off-topic.


3) Limit self-promotional content.

Any monetized content sources, defined as any direct link or de facto redirect to any source which generates revenue through sales, subscriptions, or advertisement views, may not be shared in this community more frequently than once every 7 days.

This includes monetized YouTube channels - if you want to help the community with videos more frequently, you can always upload them directly to our subreddit.

Non-monetized self promotion may be removed at moderator discretion if it becomes excessive


4) No AI-Generated Content

Posts which primarily feature content generated by AI will be removed.

Posts which feature auxiliary AI content - for example, using an AI background remover for graphic design, or posts which utilize AI image-resolution enhancement tools - are permitted.


5) NMS Community Network Rules

These rules apply across a network of No Man's Sky communities, including c/nmsgalactichub. Severe rule violations may result in a ban not only from this community, but other communities in the network.

I haven't played in a while and came back to this 10m bill haha
Maybe not a lot of money, but its about half of my units.
I can't even remember how i ended up with this settlement on a desolate planet with extreme wind speeds.

Pretty cool though, I'm going to have to check this settlement mechanic out.
Maybe start another one thats not on a hellish firestorm planet.

Three hundred hours in, multimillion unit production line, so many side quests done, 3 copies bought to share with family later and I'm finally doing the main quests🤣

The story is great so far and I enjoy the mystery/anime levels of complexity. I love that it works entirely offline and with multiplayer. I love that Hello Games chooses a working business model over gouging us for every little thing they do. Haters gonna hate but I love this game.

I know the original update is two weeks old (February 11th), but I'm trying to make a habit of posting about major updates in the various gaming communities that I'm in. Hello Games have released four subsequent patches (6.21, 6.21.1, 6.22, and 6.23.

How are travellers enjoying the updates so far?

Excerpt from the article:

In 2025, No Man’s Sky Travellers were treated to one of our biggest years yet. Even we struggle to know how we pulled off so many large updates last year - Worlds Part II and Voyagers were both transformational and released in the same year, interspersed with smaller but significant updates in Relics, Beacon and Breach.

Today we’re pleased to announce that our first update of 2026, our 10th anniversary year, is already rolling out. It’s called Remnant and it introduces something that we and the community have been aching to introduce to No Man’s Sky since the beginning… a fully operational gravity gun! Full patch notes are available here.

Now Playing | No Man's Sky is one of the most fulfilling communal experiences I've had in gaming in a long time.

I dug a river to fish from Trade Post, it's just proof that can be possible. I tried to find Trade Post near to water and this one was closest to it. Not so close as i wanted. Does anyone saw Trade Post with wet legs?

What is Aeon City?

Aeon City is the Galactic Hub's upcoming Hubtropolis - a multi-base city featuring skyscrapers, roads, and otherwise proper city architecture. Aeon City is the successor to the now-defunct New Ziki City.

Aeon City will feature a variety of multiplayer activities (many of which can also be participated in solo):

  1. PVP in the Rust Dome - Fight other players in an arena designed to emulate FPS-style combat within NMS. Functional capture points enable game modes like Domination or Search-and-Destroy to be played as well.
  2. Starship Racecourse - Fly through a compact racecourse in the sky, outlined by floating, illuminated checkpoints which are proven to render even at starship-speeds.
  3. Exocraft Racetrack - Race other interlopers across a handmade (rather than terrain-based) racetrack which requires players to dodge obstacles and coordinate their exocraft being launched out of a DK Mountain-style cannon (Mario Kart).
  4. Traveler Hockey, Blasterball, and Gravolley Ball - Compete against other interlopers in these sphere-based sports, all originally invented by members of the Galactic Hub!
  5. Shield Wrestling - Push your opponents off of an elevated platform using the Personal Forcefield. This sport, also original to the Galactic Hub, is inspired by sumo wrestling.
  6. Clover, Neutron Cascade, Roulette, and 8-Sided Dice - Test your luck in these gambling minigames found in Caesarus's Palace Casino! Some have an element of skill, while others are pure chance.
  7. Various Minigames - Minigames, including Mini-Anomaly Darts (shoot an exocraft off a ramp and land on a horizontal dart board), Hoopsphere (basketball), Bumper Nautilons (bumper cars), and other small carnival-style minigames can be found around the city!
  8. Art Days - Biweekly events will be hosted in the city's Aeon Museum of Interloper Art where interlopers are able to add their own statues and canvasses to the museum.

There are also plenty of attractions to go with the activities - learn about Galactic Hub history in the History Museum, grab some NipNip at Aeon Community Collective, get spooky in Club Dissonance, stroll the Honor Garden where prolific interlopers are honored with permanent statues, speak to the NPCs found in the city with all-original dialogue, or check out one of the city's parks!

How Can I Join?

Now for the bad news: remember earlier, when I mentioned that Aeon City is the successor to the now-defunct New Ziki City (NZC)? NZC was open to the public, and too many players ignored the rules which forbid uploading bases in the system. The city uses the entire system's complexity budget (16,000 parts), so any additional bases uploaded will cause the city to be invisible for other visitors. This problem developed to such an extent that, along with the relocation of the Galactic Hub civilization as a whole, it was decided that NZC would no longer be maintained.

And these weren't people with any malicious intent (in most cases). They were probably people who found out about NZC from a Youtuber who failed to mention our rules forbidding base construction, or kids who are too young to understand why those rules matter. So I can't really blame them, but at the same time, I have to avoid that outcome repeating itself.

Unfortunately, I see no way around this except to make Aeon City accessible on an invite-only basis. This means you need to establish yourself in the Galactic Hub community - joining chapters, building bases, and generally demonstrating that you're invested in the community - before you're able to be admitted to Aeon City.

I do intend on making a public version of Aeon City, but it will not conform with the terrain like the original does. Instead, it will be located on floating platforms. This will allow me to easily relocate the city to a different system if too many bases are uploaded, preventing it from being permanently ruined like NZC was.

Aeon City is NOT open yet! I currently expect it to open in March, but I'm advertising it now so people interested in visiting can begin establishing themselves in the Galactic Hub community.



What is the Galactic Hub Project?

The Galactic Hub is a civilization (organized multiplayer group with specific in-game practices) founded on October 30th, 2016. We've been playing together since before NMS received a single update!

Check out the Galactic Hub Wiki for information on the Galactic Hub, and don't miss the Guide on How to Join.

Eissentam galaxy. Terrain is smooth enough to have full throttle on some routes between heaps and plants. No annoying flora, also pretty wide horizon.

The new update may not be all that huge, but it's a blast. (And makes me want to look into Snowrunner.)

I love loading up all the trash, carefully driving it to the dump, and then getting to play garbage disposal basketball. Very chill and fun.

I haven't even started the expedition yet! Just dump trucking on our main save.

I was cruising around in my new garbage truck earlier and the game let me know that it was time to do something else for a change by crashing to desktop. When I loaded in the next time, I seemed to be roughly in the spot where the crash happened. No idea if the save was the cause or the result of crashing or in any way related or not. Is an autosave that happened around a crash in danger of being somehow corrupted due to that or are the autosaves the game manages to reload definitely clean?

This is so beautiful! This is just the best game EVER

Can anyone explain how you might take extreme heat damage when you have an S class heat mod and a full bar of heat shield? Everything was charged up and I suddenly died to 2 ticks of heat damage. The only thing I couldn't think to check in my panic was my life support... But the messaging was clearly extreme heat damage so I just felt totally confused.

In case that they see this,

I was on the community-shown planet UD22-Delta (Eissentam) with the big egg. Searching for a portal. Saw their fun discussion about eggs and Jedi temples and wanted to join in.

But as I'm playing on console with microphone disabled... how do I talk with people?

It was a spectacular and hilarious death. I was swimming around my underwater base and I didn't realize I was over top of one of those sulphide fissures. It blasted my shields off. Holy crap!

Well, since I took the burn I may as well go get my crystals, right? As I collected the third crystal, I saw the fissure starting to erupt so I backed what I thought was "way off" to* the side of it.

Well, you see, I was in first person view. I typically swim around in third person. It turns out I was not as far away as I thought I was. The instant the beautiful fissure exploded, I instantly cut to black.

RIP Tangonov, first permadeath iteration. I only lost 20 hours, let's start again.

Since No Man's Sky doesn't allow for multiple Gas Giants within a system, I'll assume the following would be closest and skip the gas and ice giants, for uhh... travel time purposes! (And totally not because in NMS they don't spawn on G-type yellow stars).

That is;

• Single, Yellow G2V-type star
• Low/No Sentinels on any worlds

• 6 worlds, 1 Moon

  • Mercury (Dead; grey)
  • Venus (Scorched; yellow air with dark rocks, as few flora/fauna as possible. No water. Weather: Extreme)
  • Earth (Lush, Paradise; blue sky and water, sandy-like beaches, green-brownish land with normal animals and plants. Weather: Clear)
  • Moon (Dead moon, grey)
  • Mars (Irradiated, as few flora/fauna as possible. No water. Weather: Normal)

Optional extraIf we still want to include some of the ice/gas giants, we could pretend the Sun to be an X-type 'purple' star, as their temperature isn't given. In that case:

  • Jupiter (Waterworld. Weather: Extreme. Light brown with a ring).
  • Saturn (Waterworld. Weather: Extreme. Yellowish with a ring).
  • Titan (Moon; Toxic biome. Weather: Clear. Yellowish atmosphere, light brown ground, dark "water", ie. methane).

I picked Titan 'cus, it's fun and one of the more likely candidatea to eventually develop life, and it has lakes!

I'm not sure if this idea list could be improved or not, but might be a fun challenge for the community. It makes me think, maybe HelloGames should add in a possibility for 'small' Gas Giants, so that those can be generated in systems with more planets.

And I don't know if there are non-Dead planets without flora and fauna, but they totes should be a thing.

I have absolutely no idea how I managed to break my settlement administration panel in such a way, but it would not let me pick either option nor cancel the interaction, or even back out to the game menu. I had to Alt + F4 the game.

The mountain is so high that it reaches the clouds. But what's even more special is that for some reason, it's one of like a very few mountains on the planet - it's freestanding. You can actually even see the planet's curvature with it.

I think that if you were to build a base there, you could probably reach for the sky.

Coordinates +0.22, -83.38. Planet's called Yannet Minor. Dissonant sentinels, pretty hot.

See title. Basically, I've been searching for specifically Paradise worlds -- ie., Lush planets with few Sentinels. But it seems I never come across any of them.

Does Permadeath disable them altogether?

And what if you change game settings when you already launched Permadeath and are in it? Would that invalidate achievements?

I tried to upload a video, but it didn't work.

I'm only just beginning to get going in the Permadeath (it's hard) and holy shit. I don't know if we'll ever meet again, Yung Crocker, but I love you all folks.

Thanks for the resources

Tap for spoiler(4 stasis devices, 2 fusion ignitors, some echo tracers, emergency signal scanners, ai transport ship frags, tons of sentinel borders, hyper warp reactors..)

and fun dance party we had with like 10 people spontaneously for ten minutes <3

I have a flying companion, -- if anyone wants an egg, just lemme know. In fact there's a whole ass planet with high flying, snakelike companions, that do land (by bumping into the hills)!

And it's apparently fun as heck! Liiittle hard to control though. I keep smashing into hillsides giggling uncontrollably.

I picked it up from https://nmsspot.com/2023/03/21/speed-tip-the-melee-reload-jump-trick/. Apparently you can

  • take a projectile gun (e.g. boltcaster) and fire a shot so it's not full
  • hit melee, hold it down
  • while holding down melee, tap reload really fast
  • instead of reloading you'll do the melee elbow animation over and over, going really fast
  • optionally take off with jetpack, or just keep giggling until you smack into something

Seriously this is like something straight outta Warframe.

I think the fact that you can't really control your direction very well just adds to its hilarity. And makes it less likely to get patched.

Just getting started, and I'm noticing that the first two systems I've visited have been abandoned. Is this like Adrift? I just visited the Anomaly, and it is also eerily silent, no other players visible.

Spooky, just in time for Halloween I suppose.

Question though, is there anyway to sell surplus technology modules? Without the normal merchants in space stations, I can't think of anyway of using sentinels to farm nanites. Can't remember from Adrift.

Good luck Travellers, I'm going to go back to drift in the void…
