I was one of the sad people who bought this game in the pre-sale. I'm so happy they continued to work on this game. It was pretty empty at launch, but I'm now returning years later and having a blast. If only the devs weren't so rushed, this game would have been huge. I wish more people would give this game a second chance.
I'm trying it for the first time with a vr helmet solely because of all of the positive reviews No Man's Sky has gotten lately. I'm so glad I did! Flying my spaceship through asteroid fields is definitely my favorite thing to do so far.
I never started the game when it launched because of all the bad rep. I've since started playing it 120 hours so far enjoying it. Glad I waited for them to resolve the major issues.
Yeh this one had a ruff start, I refused to buy it for the first year or so but now I can't get enough. VR play is awesome, and I can seamlessly switch to key board and mouse. Beautiful game play, great story. This is the baseline of any space venturing survival game.
They definitely need to announce a Day 1 PSVR2 update for NMS. I prefer PSVR gameplay over non-VR play, but the PS5 version of the game isn't compatible with the PS4 VR headset for some reason.
I've been playing since Day 1 and have even gone back and visited places I discovered 4, 5, and 6 years ago. Even found my monuments from meeting other players BEFORE there was multi-player. This game still has legs and has gotten so amazing....I still play for hours on end, there's always something new to do.
I got EXTREMELY lucky. Not only did it spawn on my home world with my main base (paradise planet with no sentinels and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a storm on this planet either) and it’s RIGHT NEXT TO MY BASE. Like literally over the hill I can spawn an exo craft and be there in 10 seconds. Freaken awesome.
I thought I got lucky because I found one on my planet, but I didn't pay attention to the debt to productivity ratio, and now I'm almost in over 800,000 units of debt. The maintenance cost is about twice the productivity. I'm probably just going to try to get a new settlement. (I tried twice yesterday to buy a settlement chart and find a new settlement, but it just kept pointing me to the settlement I already have).
This update is pretty much where I want it to be, every update just makes this game better for me, now all we need is Rivers and streams maybe waterfalls
We have rivers, ive found some planets with rivers, however water reaaally needs a complete overhaul because its pleasing to the eye as long as you dont get close to it, waterfalls and the ability to make our own water system, that we certainly need.
Being able to build underground with out it resetting and encasing my base and maybe some better and deeper caves,....... Maybe a caves and cliffs update 😂😂😂
agree we need more river, water salination system, water silo, war between freights, shooting when riding a companion, tons of new fauna variants, and more alien races(beside korvax, gek and vy'keen--maybe it would be amazing if someday the alien races are generated by AI with million variations just like the planets).
A really cool future feature that they could easily add in a later update is the ability to start your own settlement rather than claim one. You'll be able to place it wherever you want and grow.
I wish they would've just integrated it into regular base building, sort of like FO4. Set up a building, designate its function, lure new residents to "Base Definitely-Not-A-Slave-Encampment."
@@ossiehalvorson7702 lol Well, that's what's great about hellogames is they create a new feature and then they can continue to build off of it. Who who knows where they'll take the settlement feature in future updates.
I started a new save last night because of the update, and scored big time. Paradise planet in the starting system. Zero sentinels, very rare storms, buried tech modules and salvage containers. Trees give carbon and oxygen, rocks give ferrite dust and carbon. And it has sweet cave systems. I can't wait to find a settlement on it and see if there are any good resources to setup a farm for. Loving this update so far!
Ive literally just started playing NMS 2 days ago. I have a paradise planet in my starting system. I didnt know they were good planets. Thanks for the education 😁
If you have not found one yet, you can go to a space station and purchase settlement maps from the cartographer dude, once you do that make sure to activate the map on the planet you want so it locates a settlement on the desired planet and not on a random one in the system :)
It was not an oversight to leave the old base parts in. It's in the patch notes that older players will still have them, but new players (and new saves) will not be able to learn them.
@@olivierrodriguesneto5995 not just new players but fresh start characters as well. I don't mind too much as I'm perfectly happy with the new parts but yea if they're gonna keep them in the game, might as well let us all play with them if we want.
Actually i got my first settlement on a planet with frequent snowstorms but i really like that. It truly gives the vibe of trying to survive in the frontier.
Last year I built a really nice little base on an island, took several months off from playing the game, came back today to check out all the updates... The island is gone, my base is floating ten feet over the ocean surface. It looked nicer when there was an island, I'm a little disappointed.
I had a paradise planet with no sentinals on it. Perfect wildlife, no irritating creatures and little to no storms on the planet. Updated the game and all of the animals went extinct which brang in other animals that are now severely irritating and changed the planet from a paradise planet to a boiling doom. Worst bloody time of my life. Spent like a year building the base.
I literally can't wait till pc modders remove the timers, or cut them down to something more reasonable and respectful to those of us who rarely get enough spare time to play.
My first building was a tower, and it took 3 sets of 4 hours to build. And it hasn't offered me to build a second building yet. RIP because the paradise planet I built it on has beautiful blue and pink glowing trees on it. It's gorgeous!
I'd love it if you could have more than one settlement. Apparently if you start a new settlement it resets the old one! All that work gone. The idea of the community busily making permanent settlements all over the universe really appeals to me. Hello get their worldbuilding done for free by the community 😜
and that could add in a player-controlled economy. set up resource lines between your owned settlements to make them nations/empires and open up trade with other nations/empires
@@fishschtick8985 that is why its not permanent yet. They're not ready. Also if you just let an advanced settlement be taken over by another player they would get all the progress for free. I can already see pvp empires with that system in the future
I'm compeletely new to the game and don't get the online aspect of it. is it perma online? or only if I'm in the anomaly station thing where I can see other players. o.o
In my experience, the Settlement navigation charts would ALWAS point to a settlement on a different planet to which I am standing. So to get the planet of my choice I just flew off to the next planet and activated it there. First time success, as to ten wasted tries standing on the planet of my choice.
I would like to see the settlement system get a upgrade. Once you reach a certain point of positive progression you are given the opportunity to let the settlement take over itself and it grows into a city.
The only problem I have with settlements is that (at least for me at this current moment) they are pretty buggy. After switching to a different settlement and building the overseer office, the settlement/game wouldn’t allow me to create any new buildings, there wouldn’t be any NPC strangers offering settlement features, my settlement inhabitants wouldn’t have disputes, and even the sentinels wouldn’t attack. Basically my new settlement has basically turned into a unnaturally peaceful society that is in an ever growing pile of debt that can’t create any new buildings… until these bugs are fixed for me it is kind of a waste of time (again at least for me at this moment)
Ditto....found a nice B settlement after finding many many C ones. Now on a flourishing planet and I'm dead in the water. These praises for updates are annoying when they are broke day 1. People are idiots, be truthful so shite gets fixed. Like I said about Aliens new game recently if I had done my job as a nurse as bad as these devs do releasing games and updates alot of people would of died.
As a single player enthusiast, the settlement really added a lot of life to the game and I can appreciate the "extra work". It feels very alive, natural and fun. The settlement never pesters you, except for when it's under attack, other than that, visit at your own leisure :)
I'm hoping they touch up combat in the future again maybe give us small factions or certain star systems that are caught in a civil type war, idek but it'd be interesting to see.
I got lucky with the settlement planet. I'm still on my original game save and the first system I jumped to had a paradise planet with a settlement on it. Jumped in and the planet is fantastic, one of the better paradise planets I've found yet. Now I just have to get my settlement sorted out and happier, lol.
Nice boardwalks, definitely doing that today. I am in a T3 booming Gek system, posted to reddit. I'll keep updating my village to show progression from C to S and check back here with you as well. Good stuff as always friend!
So I had an interesting thing happen with my settlement. I got the mission (similar to everyone else), went there, and the settlement was absolutely atrocious, on a different star system than the one i have my home world in and on inhabitable planet. That bummed me out, so I just decided to completely ignore it. The mission lingered on and on, until eventually I decided to revisit it to see if I can maybe accept the settlement and then imminently retire. To my surprise the settlement was no longer there, but was moved straight to my beautiful paradise planet that i built my base on and the most dangerous thing that happens are the toxic plants and unactive sentinels. And once I got there, it was somehow inserted as a square looking crater which was surrounded by caves on its ridges. So I took that as an opportunity to make a big ass base inside of a very long cave overlooking the entire settlement. I must have got extremely lucky for that to happen lol
If only I could use personal funds for the settlement :(. I could pump in 300million daily and I would still have above 3 billion. And with my farms I could make them more money.
@@firstlast-fr1le yeah I get that, I thought about that too. Still though, theres not nearly enough things to do with the units. Creating a "mini game" is the wrong approach to take when the current game needs so much
You know, we get disappointed constantly as gamers. Most of the time it's when we build up things on our own like announced expansions. Like we get all excited guessing what will be coming. We usually end up getting something totally different than what we built up in our heads and wanted and it's disappointing as hell. Hello games has a almost unique way if giving us something completely different than our expectations but still wowing us and doing great job. I was hoping for more ship customization and other things. When I found out we didn't get what I wanted I was very good with what we got.
@Master Monkey Considering I dont think its boring I would say its not a fact. Its my opinion. I enjoy having something else to do and keep an eye on. ;)
I never thought No Man's Sky would interest me and then this happened. The settlement system looks like a really cool start to something incredible. If they were to expand the settlement building and settlement defense, I think I'd be all over it. I'd love to be able to build defensive structures and walls and maybe even get the citizens to defend with me.
My biggest issue with the defense end is that I'm so, so tired of sentinels. We need an update with new dangers. Some kind of new extra dangerous anti-Traveler species that occasionally attacks your ship, your freighter, or your bases and settlements would be awesome. I'm imagining something like the Thargoids from Elite. Sentinels just don't spark anything for me anymore, they're basically just a moderate nuisance at this point.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 I still haven't played the game so I'm not familiar with the sentinels. I've just watched videos of it so far. I just want an involved defense and settlement building. I'd want to feel more like it's a settlement that I'm building/running and for that to happen I'd want more freedom with what I build.
@@schnoig_ I'm not getting my hopes up, but I have to admit that even if they never do, the game as it stands is perfectly acceptable as far as I'm concerned. If there was never another update I'd be okay with that, they've far more than fulfilled their broken promises and I've gotten way more than my $60 worth.
@@mikeva3975 They're the machine life you see in the video, like the bipedal mech thing. There's only four major types though, one of them only in space, and that's where my issues lie.
if you play a lot per day it is easy to get production over maintenance. just takes a little more time. i got mine to class A within a few days. mine is producing cactus flesh and star silk. 100% happiness, 1,000,000 production. it can go up to 24 hours per production, yes.
the only legacy part that I miss is the metal full glass wall. I love the floor to ceiling window, and I really don't see the option anymore with the new parts.
not had lots of time to play as i dived in to test then decided to start a new save for a new community hopefully. I love the new wooden building parts, like the addition of settlements and hope they expand on it, seems to be a pattern, install new features then next they expand on them and beautify them. look forward to playing more
I am pretty much just experimenting with my first one, but this vid answers my questions about new ones. I wish we could actually START one. One per system would be good balancing, I think
They should also give you the ability to change what material or upgrade the material that your settlement is made out of for example if your settlement happens to have been one that was built of wood you can later spend ferrite dust or silikit or whatever to upgrade it to another material allowing you to modernize a wooden settlement
I got screwed over with my og settlement because it was on a extreme frozen planet with constant extreme storms nonstop. This vid helped me get a settlement on a nice rainy planet.
Thanks for making this! My current settlement sucks so bad. First thing I’m doing when I play today is finding a new settlement, my current one won’t profit no matter what I do to it, and it has bad sentinel activity, and weather… and the planet is pretty boring in general lol! It’s like 200k in debt and isn’t turning up
Wow. Just the right video. Thanks a lot. I already claimed the first settlement and it's on a bad planet. In a bad stage. And the overseer's Office is bugged. There is a wall just before the door and if you squeeze in the main desk shares the same place with some other stuff. But now i can abandon this nightmare and find a better one. Yeah.
My first settlement is an "S" settlement. I have only built my office and one tower and now i have the "nothing bug". Not sure if it started as an "A" or an "S" Patch update......just now got a new build prompt. Thank you Hello Games for all the bug fixes you do so quickly.
After getting the update, I booted up my game and was alerted to a settlement needing my help. I landed on a VOLCANIC/Firestorm planet finding a Gek settlement. B-ranked. Currently working on building it up until I can find an A or S ranked settlement.
What is the 'reason' for wanting a village on your own home planet? in the beginning you'll fly there so with the distance between your base and the village you will always need to go up in space. and in the later game you will teleport between them constantly. so I don't see a reason except for the 'i like the environment of planet X better" which is totally fine though, but not really game breaking right...
I was a bit afraid of spoilers in this video..but you executed this very nicely. Tbh the settlement structure build times are a bit long. But its not the end of the world. I love the new landing pad. Its so cheap...
A nice thing, if no one noticed, is finally being able to hit V and being able to place an auction terminal and not have to glitch in 30 steps to do so.
Have you done a Video yet on how to place floors within settlement area without grass/vegetation growing through? My OCD can't stand it when I see the vegetation still showing through it after I place a floor. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos, much appreciated 👍
When trying to Locate a suitable settlement location to begin Building (did this Post Expedition #3) Call up the Space Anomaly and visit the Teleporter>Other bases and Look through the Names . Took us only a few minutes scanning thorough the List and Chose a Hilbert Location Which when I landed I Had my Mission marker active and it was 5 minutes flying time distant and OK It was a C class But Like Kraze said the Terrain Was Perfect for a "Base computer" expansion and I Already Have begun adding The Basics on that Location Only Let down NO Power or Mining Hotspot but there is another 3 Points We can do more Bases around the Settlement and make up the shortfall PS Where we landed Sentinels are few and NO Bad weather unlike my other NMS saves where I'm Battered a Lot DO NOTE: The Bases on the Teleporter List Many are Dead Links, but you will Eventually come across Live links , DO read the Galaxy name they Link to and If it says anything other than Euclid then Not so Many have Got out that far !
If you use the time glitch, the maths rolls backwards when the time resets to normal. So your class drops and if your production is less than your maintenance else you'll be in a negative balance.
Managed to get a paradise (completely earth like planet) with no sentinels, light breeze weather.. 6 planets in the system.. 3 tier economy.. and got my settlement over the hill from my base.. which is also next to a colossal tower. Its dope.
Good stuff! Only trouble is because the settlements are generated in a certain way NPCs will follow set paths I'm guessing. So anything extra added like pathways is good for show and for human players only. But maybe more solutions will come up over next few days.
I got my settlement in my home base planet, a lovely patch of dirt in sky called halcyon prime. It's B class if you want to know and very near to my base, just 20 minutes drive using a exocraft. It's alright now, i think because we are making money & finished building our first market 😊😊😊
i built my BASE at another abandoned building near my settlement. further than you suggest, but ive discovered a lot more stuff on my planet with that distance in between.
love the game and every update just makes it better and better, however there are a few things i wish they would add that would completely change how the game is played, especially from a co op perspective. I have several ideas that could make this game even more epic, but most of it is just wishful thinking. Multi-Crew ships This one is a big one. imagine a big cruiser that can hold 3 players. 2 gunners, and of course the pilot. This could be a new way to play the game and travel together using a single vessel, and would also open up an opportunity for new enemies to face out in space. Transport ships You know the freighter? what about something smaller, but be able to directly fly it like a star ship? imagine a ship that would take up 2 landing pads, it can carry 2 other star ships, one on either side of it, have its own inventory that is the same size as a good hauler, and can carry 4 or more players? you could land it in a freighter but it would hold 2 landing spaces instead of one, and would act as a global summon station for exocraft kinda like the freighter does already with the exocraft module. Buildable Space Stations This one we kinda already have with the freighters but what about a legit space station? What if they expand on the space mechanics and add stuff like space walking, low gravity, ect. and allow us to build bases in space? They could introduce an entirely new array of base parts to make it look like an actual space station. There you could have your freighter dock and customize it, from color to stats, manage its inventory, ect. This game has infinite potential but sadly i fear my ideas wont come to fruition with this particular game. I understand there is only so much you can add to a game before it takes up your entire storage device, lol.
for those who relocated to another settlement. Did you get a build mission or did you have to resolve a dispute right after building your command center? mine is built but I do not have any tasks to do at the new settlement for the moment. wondering if it is a bug or if I just have to wait. On the first settlement the missions to build your first building (after the command center) and resolving a dispute came pretty quickly, like in the first hour of arriving at the settlement.
@@Wolfcub23 same here regarding the debt and credits. I too have had 2 missions since, every 24 hours. Don't know if it's since 3.62 or just like that. A bit long though but fregates missions also take time.
I'm glad I found this video because I ended up getting a settlement on an abandoned planet that experiences hot temperature, combustible dust and extreme fire storms. My settlers just be chillin like "this is fine".
i am new to this game and I really appreciate the ideas. I discovered a paradise planet that I really enjoy and knowing that I can claim a settlement there is very exciting! Thank you very much!
Regarding building, I like most of the updates, but I can't figure out how to rotate pieces vertically. R1 and L1 only rotate left or right, but I don't know how to angle it otherwise.
The light thing is BIG for me, I hated having to figure out the wiring for lights (I'm dumb), my farm is on my freighter, so making houses was more for looks than practically, so now i can get back to basebuilding
Also I found a settlement but now I'm think I may look for a new one, I totally forgot I could just reload the game after using the map (remember I'm dumb)
I kept spamming thr quest across multiple system. Finally I got it to be on a freezing storm planet. So easy access to storm crystals. Storms do not effect the settlement, and settlement provides shelter from storm as does my minotaur mech.
I looked for a second Settlement because the first one I found was too weak, so I searched and found a B rank with 63 population, quite big, I'm satisfied atm.
does settelments gets stuck after one building. they gave me only one building to contruct and after that nothing to construct. is that random or its a bug problem?
Lol I'm just starting a new game to enjoy all this new stuff. I have my space fairing, economy wreaking Kachillionaire character, and now a humble overseer character. It feels like two completely different campaigns at this point lol
I would like to see more quality of life addon's like more beds, house furniture, decorations, etc. The other thing that is disappointing me is that cuboid objects won't snap with wood, stone or the other metal building items, yes you can build with them over the other stuff but it would be nice if they snapped (and yes I know they are different sizes). Another thing I don't like is that when building on a second floor the objects like walls (example wood) change to a different style, this should be an option not a default and there is no way change it. I would also like to see the ability to change the height and distance of objects to the player, not just having it stuck to the floor or ground. Honestly this should have been in at the beginning, its a standard default building option in nearly all games with base building. Just my rant I guess. Good Video by the way. Finally another thing I want are wood, stone, and metal 45 degree corner pieces (floors, roof). this is also a standard in any base building.
I found my settlement right on my home planet which is tropic. B class settlement with diplos, walkers and an artifact station thing beside it. Couldnt be better😎
Can you build those weather protection things from the new expedition inside your settlement? I think I'm on a hazardous world, and I just want my settlement to not have extreme weather inside it, I can but my main base far away but I wanna know if it can just be placed there so when I'm in my settlement the weather won't bother me.
Hey @KhrazeGaming your videos are really informative and help me enjoy the game more! I wanted to know if you edit your own videos or do you have help?
Settlements are definitely still buggy. I claimed my first settlement last night, then the 3.62 patch came out and instantaneously upgraded my settlement to an S-class with ZERO improvements completed
I am afraid in one of those settlements we will find an alien wearing a cowboy hat telling us about other settlements that needs our help.
As someone on the subreddit said his name would be preston gekvy

I'm compeletely new to the game and don't get the online aspect of it. is it perma online? or only if I'm in the anomaly station thing where I can see other players. o.o
In my experience, the Settlement navigation charts would ALWAS point to a settlement on a different planet to which I am standing. So to get the planet of my choice I just flew off to the next planet and activated it there. First time success, as to ten wasted tries standing on the planet of my choice.
I think the settlements in wild environment planets should be in a bio dome, or the game should give you an option to make bio domes
I would like to see the settlement system get a upgrade. Once you reach a certain point of positive progression you are given the opportunity to let the settlement take over itself and it grows into a city.
NMS the game that keeps on giving. Looking forward to playing the update later.
And then the update after that. And after that.... And after thaaaaaat
Im gonna wait a few years to get back into it i had 3k of hours wiped lost all my data and cant get it back.
@@SemajResarf Sorry to hear that.
@@SemajResarf that has only happened twice to EVERYONE. When they reset the universe. Idgf if it wipes my shit. I'll gladly re do it again.
@@SemajResarf That is why you should always backup your save data either manually from time to time or automatically from your PC
The only problem I have with settlements is that (at least for me at this current moment) they are pretty buggy. After switching to a different settlement and building the overseer office, the settlement/game wouldn’t allow me to create any new buildings, there wouldn’t be any NPC strangers offering settlement features, my settlement inhabitants wouldn’t have disputes, and even the sentinels wouldn’t attack. Basically my new settlement has basically turned into a unnaturally peaceful society that is in an ever growing pile of debt that can’t create any new buildings… until these bugs are fixed for me it is kind of a waste of time (again at least for me at this moment)
Waiting 8 hours to build landing pad is annoying too
Same for me ... created the first house ... now no choice to continue, it keeps saying No decision. Im on a peacufull planet with bubbles
Same here, switched settlement and I’m not getting any prompts. I think I’ll sit this update out till further patches
Same here, I was able to build the overseer office and then nothing else happened
Ditto....found a nice B settlement after finding many many C ones. Now on a flourishing planet and I'm dead in the water. These praises for updates are annoying when they are broke day 1. People are idiots, be truthful so shite gets fixed. Like I said about Aliens new game recently if I had done my job as a nurse as bad as these devs do releasing games and updates alot of people would of died.
As a single player enthusiast, the settlement really added a lot of life to the game and I can appreciate the "extra work". It feels very alive, natural and fun. The settlement never pesters you, except for when it's under attack, other than that, visit at your own leisure :)
I could imagine that they later add the option for settlements to interact with other players settlements like trading routes or maybe warfare even.
I'm hoping they touch up combat in the future again maybe give us small factions or certain star systems that are caught in a civil type war, idek but it'd be interesting to see.
I got lucky with the settlement planet. I'm still on my original game save and the first system I jumped to had a paradise planet with a settlement on it. Jumped in and the planet is fantastic, one of the better paradise planets I've found yet. Now I just have to get my settlement sorted out and happier, lol.
Nice boardwalks, definitely doing that today. I am in a T3 booming Gek system, posted to reddit. I'll keep updating my village to show progression from C to S and check back here with you as well. Good stuff as always friend!
So I had an interesting thing happen with my settlement. I got the mission (similar to everyone else), went there, and the settlement was absolutely atrocious, on a different star system than the one i have my home world in and on inhabitable planet. That bummed me out, so I just decided to completely ignore it. The mission lingered on and on, until eventually I decided to revisit it to see if I can maybe accept the settlement and then imminently retire. To my surprise the settlement was no longer there, but was moved straight to my beautiful paradise planet that i built my base on and the most dangerous thing that happens are the toxic plants and unactive sentinels. And once I got there, it was somehow inserted as a square looking crater which was surrounded by caves on its ridges. So I took that as an opportunity to make a big ass base inside of a very long cave overlooking the entire settlement. I must have got extremely lucky for that to happen lol
Must be nice to see people enjoying the update. :’) my settlement has yet to give me a mission.
If only I could use personal funds for the settlement :(. I could pump in 300million daily and I would still have above 3 billion. And with my farms I could make them more money.
Yeah I thought this, looked at the debt and thought, I'll have that taken care of immediately lol
@@Egypticus wouldn’t even affect my spending
@@derek8685 Really wish we could. One of the biggest issues with this game is the lack of things to spend units on.
to be fair, settlments seem to be somewhat of a mini game within and what you want to do is likely exactly why they didn't allow it.
@@firstlast-fr1le yeah I get that, I thought about that too. Still though, theres not nearly enough things to do with the units. Creating a "mini game" is the wrong approach to take when the current game needs so much
I got a okay settlement in a AMAZING location, it's on a ledge with a river going past it, it looks great
You know, we get disappointed constantly as gamers. Most of the time it's when we build up things on our own like announced expansions. Like we get all excited guessing what will be coming. We usually end up getting something totally different than what we built up in our heads and wanted and it's disappointing as hell. Hello games has a almost unique way if giving us something completely different than our expectations but still wowing us and doing great job. I was hoping for more ship customization and other things. When I found out we didn't get what I wanted I was very good with what we got.
@Master Monkey Welcome to the minority. I hear they have cookies.
@Master Monkey I feel like they're still experimenting, let's just hope they'll give this settlement system some nice changes later on
@Master Monkey Considering I dont think its boring I would say its not a fact. Its my opinion. I enjoy having something else to do and keep an eye on. ;)
I never thought No Man's Sky would interest me and then this happened. The settlement system looks like a really cool start to something incredible. If they were to expand the settlement building and settlement defense, I think I'd be all over it. I'd love to be able to build defensive structures and walls and maybe even get the citizens to defend with me.
My biggest issue with the defense end is that I'm so, so tired of sentinels. We need an update with new dangers. Some kind of new extra dangerous anti-Traveler species that occasionally attacks your ship, your freighter, or your bases and settlements would be awesome. I'm imagining something like the Thargoids from Elite. Sentinels just don't spark anything for me anymore, they're basically just a moderate nuisance at this point.
@@ossiehalvorson7702 knowing the devs thats most likely gonna happen soon
@@ossiehalvorson7702 I still haven't played the game so I'm not familiar with the sentinels. I've just watched videos of it so far. I just want an involved defense and settlement building. I'd want to feel more like it's a settlement that I'm building/running and for that to happen I'd want more freedom with what I build.
@@schnoig_ I'm not getting my hopes up, but I have to admit that even if they never do, the game as it stands is perfectly acceptable as far as I'm concerned. If there was never another update I'd be okay with that, they've far more than fulfilled their broken promises and I've gotten way more than my $60 worth.
@@mikeva3975 They're the machine life you see in the video, like the bipedal mech thing. There's only four major types though, one of them only in space, and that's where my issues lie.
if you play a lot per day it is easy to get production over maintenance. just takes a little more time.
i got mine to class A within a few days. mine is producing cactus flesh and star silk. 100% happiness, 1,000,000 production.
it can go up to 24 hours per production, yes.
the only legacy part that I miss is the metal full glass wall. I love the floor to ceiling window, and I really don't see the option anymore with the new parts.
not had lots of time to play as i dived in to test then decided to start a new save for a new community hopefully. I love the new wooden building parts, like the addition of settlements and hope they expand on it, seems to be a pattern, install new features then next they expand on them and beautify them. look forward to playing more
One thing we really need is the ability to place down npc’s or citizens to make any base we have feel more inhabited.
Customised NPC aliens too maybe. And the 3 main alien species each need a proper home world with a decent population and settlements
I miss the sub menu... if only we had 2 versions of the build menus.
0:40 If somebody could tell me how to get a ship like that, I would be mighty grateful!
Looks sooo cool 😯
I am pretty much just experimenting with my first one, but this vid answers my questions about new ones. I wish we could actually START one. One per system would be good balancing, I think
Making decisions from a freighter room would be nice, I get that they want people to go back often but warp (loading) times make it inconvenient.
Wouldn't upgrading/adding buildings to your settlement delete base building that you do within the settlement boundaries?
Awesome thanks! Wish i knew this before i struggled building 3 buildings on my settlement planet with blizzards every 3 mins!
Thanks a million so much creativity and motive to game more
The fact that this isn't even 4.00 absolutely amazes me
Whats 4.00?
@@fallenIights It's the version of the game, the Frontiers update is version 3.60
Nice... I have a 5 year old save with all the old stuff unlocked. Last played when they added living ships. Guess it's a good time to return.
Oh boy if you loved the waiting from that you'll love the waiting from this
They should also give you the ability to change what material or upgrade the material that your settlement is made out of for example if your settlement happens to have been one that was built of wood you can later spend ferrite dust or silikit or whatever to upgrade it to another material allowing you to modernize a wooden settlement
I got screwed over with my og settlement because it was on a extreme frozen planet with constant extreme storms nonstop. This vid helped me get a settlement on a nice rainy planet.
Ah, finally! A NMS video that is both instructive AND helpful. Thank you very much for this.
7:40 "Simply follow these steps"
*Pulls out stairs*
Thanks for making this! My current settlement sucks so bad. First thing I’m doing when I play today is finding a new settlement, my current one won’t profit no matter what I do to it, and it has bad sentinel activity, and weather… and the planet is pretty boring in general lol! It’s like 200k in debt and isn’t turning up
The plant racks for carbon actually require no energy. Wire them in as normal, but do not give them power. They will still produce.
Wow. Just the right video. Thanks a lot.
I already claimed the first settlement and it's on a bad planet. In a bad stage. And the overseer's Office is bugged. There is a wall just before the door and if you squeeze in the main desk shares the same place with some other stuff.
But now i can abandon this nightmare and find a better one. Yeah.
My first settlement is an "S" settlement. I have only built my office and one tower and now i have the "nothing bug".
Not sure if it started as an "A" or an "S"
Patch update......just now got a new build prompt. Thank you Hello Games for all the bug fixes you do so quickly.
my self rule with nms updates is to wait at least 2 weeks to try it, devs fix a lot of stuff in that time. also i want to paint my ship.
I actually chose a cold hoth-like planet to get that desolated outpost vibe
Hey Dude ;-) Thank you so much for all of your good work. I’m going to start a NEW NO MAN’S SKY game tonight. Keep on posting you’re a a Dude 👍👍👍
After getting the update, I booted up my game and was alerted to a settlement needing my help. I landed on a VOLCANIC/Firestorm planet finding a Gek settlement. B-ranked. Currently working on building it up until I can find an A or S ranked settlement.
Nice one Khraze, this is just what I needed thanks.
What is the 'reason' for wanting a village on your own home planet? in the beginning you'll fly there so with the distance between your base and the village you will always need to go up in space. and in the later game you will teleport between them constantly. so I don't see a reason except for the 'i like the environment of planet X better" which is totally fine though, but not really game breaking right...
I was a bit afraid of spoilers in this video..but you executed this very nicely.
Tbh the settlement structure build times are a bit long. But its not the end of the world.
I love the new landing pad. Its so cheap...
A nice thing, if no one noticed, is finally being able to hit V and being able to place an auction terminal and not have to glitch in 30 steps to do so.
Easy like on your vid. You're guides have just been super solid and I appreciate your format and help.
On my expedition save I found a a village next to an archive. It was perfect
Creative mode player here. Update broke the door ramps for new bases. They won't link to a holographic door. Can't do much with settlements either.
Have you done a Video yet on how to place floors within settlement area without grass/vegetation growing through? My OCD can't stand it when I see the vegetation still showing through it after I place a floor.
Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos, much appreciated 👍
YOU ARE A LIFESAVER WITH THIS VIDEO! THANKS MAN!!!
When trying to Locate a suitable settlement location to begin Building (did this Post Expedition #3) Call up the Space Anomaly and visit the Teleporter>Other bases and Look through the Names . Took us only a few minutes scanning thorough the List and Chose a Hilbert Location Which when I landed I Had my Mission marker active and it was 5 minutes flying time distant and OK It was a C class But Like Kraze said the Terrain Was Perfect for a "Base computer" expansion and I Already Have begun adding The Basics on that Location Only Let down NO Power or Mining Hotspot but there is another 3 Points We can do more Bases around the Settlement and make up the shortfall
PS Where we landed Sentinels are few and NO Bad weather unlike my other NMS saves where I'm Battered a Lot
DO NOTE: The Bases on the Teleporter List Many are Dead Links, but you will Eventually come across Live links , DO read the Galaxy name they Link to and If it says anything other than Euclid then Not so Many have Got out that far !
If you use the time glitch, the maths rolls backwards when the time resets to normal.
So your class drops and if your production is less than your maintenance else you'll be in a negative balance.
Managed to get a paradise (completely earth like planet) with no sentinels, light breeze weather.. 6 planets in the system.. 3 tier economy.. and got my settlement over the hill from my base.. which is also next to a colossal tower. Its dope.
Good stuff! Only trouble is because the settlements are generated in a certain way NPCs will follow set paths I'm guessing. So anything extra added like pathways is good for show and for human players only. But maybe more solutions will come up over next few days.
I got my settlement in my home base planet, a lovely patch of dirt in sky called halcyon prime. It's B class if you want to know and very near to my base, just 20 minutes drive using a exocraft. It's alright now, i think because we are making money & finished building our first market 😊😊😊
i built my BASE at another abandoned building near my settlement. further than you suggest, but ive discovered a lot more stuff on my planet with that distance in between.
love the game and every update just makes it better and better, however there are a few things i wish they would add that would completely change how the game is played, especially from a co op perspective. I have several ideas that could make this game even more epic, but most of it is just wishful thinking.
Multi-Crew ships
This one is a big one. imagine a big cruiser that can hold 3 players. 2 gunners, and of course the pilot. This could be a new way to play the game and travel together using a single vessel, and would also open up an opportunity for new enemies to face out in space.
Transport ships
You know the freighter? what about something smaller, but be able to directly fly it like a star ship? imagine a ship that would take up 2 landing pads, it can carry 2 other star ships, one on either side of it, have its own inventory that is the same size as a good hauler, and can carry 4 or more players? you could land it in a freighter but it would hold 2 landing spaces instead of one, and would act as a global summon station for exocraft kinda like the freighter does already with the exocraft module.
Buildable Space Stations
This one we kinda already have with the freighters but what about a legit space station? What if they expand on the space mechanics and add stuff like space walking, low gravity, ect. and allow us to build bases in space? They could introduce an entirely new array of base parts to make it look like an actual space station. There you could have your freighter dock and customize it, from color to stats, manage its inventory, ect.
This game has infinite potential but sadly i fear my ideas wont come to fruition with this particular game. I understand there is only so much you can add to a game before it takes up your entire storage device, lol.
Even then the game is like 12Gb
Good review of base building. I'm impressed since it's only like the 3rd day after the update
I would really like to have some sort of defensive options for the settlement.
Now I’m sad, I didn’t realize I could choose my settlement planet. And I’m already attached to the one I have on a desert planet
for those who relocated to another settlement. Did you get a build mission or did you have to resolve a dispute right after building your command center? mine is built but I do not have any tasks to do at the new settlement for the moment. wondering if it is a bug or if I just have to wait. On the first settlement the missions to build your first building (after the command center) and resolving a dispute came pretty quickly, like in the first hour of arriving at the settlement.
@@Wolfcub23 same here regarding the debt and credits. I too have had 2 missions since, every 24 hours. Don't know if it's since 3.62 or just like that. A bit long though but fregates missions also take time.
Building over settlements will likely interfere with other buildings that are designed to be there.
Yeah prob wait till your decently in the progress of it
I’d say dont cheese it at all. It takes away from actual progression.
I'm just gonna have a settlement and make a 'mayor' structure off in a distance from it that is my prime structure
i really do be just sitting here waiting for random events to grow my settlement :(
I'm glad I found this video because I ended up getting a settlement on an abandoned planet that experiences hot temperature, combustible dust and extreme fire storms. My settlers just be chillin like "this is fine".
i am new to this game and I really appreciate the ideas. I discovered a paradise planet that I really enjoy and knowing that I can claim a settlement there is very exciting! Thank you very much!
You can also just move the base computer in editing mode now, no need to build anything around it. Just move it inside and place it where you want.
You can research old legacy structures on the space anomaly but I suggest to use the new ones most importantly for the auto doors
I'm just trying to find a temperate planet with no sentinels... proving to be VERY difficult
Great content mate just subbed to your channel look forward to seing more of your videos.
Man that first settlement layout looks just👌🏻
Regarding building, I like most of the updates, but I can't figure out how to rotate pieces vertically. R1 and L1 only rotate left or right, but I don't know how to angle it otherwise.
sometimes when the settlement map refuses to work, i found that flying into the atmosphere (not into space) and using it worked
The light thing is BIG for me, I hated having to figure out the wiring for lights (I'm dumb), my farm is on my freighter, so making houses was more for looks than practically, so now i can get back to basebuilding
Also I found a settlement but now I'm think I may look for a new one, I totally forgot I could just reload the game after using the map (remember I'm dumb)
Does this kill glitch building?
7:32 is there a way to remove those lines/windows entirely from automatically being made into the wall?
I bought this game when it originally came out, now I cant even recognize it lol, I should’ve keep playing.
I kept spamming thr quest across multiple system. Finally I got it to be on a freezing storm planet. So easy access to storm crystals. Storms do not effect the settlement, and settlement provides shelter from storm as does my minotaur mech.
Wow, that's extremely helpful!
I looked for a second Settlement because the first one I found was too weak, so I searched and found a B rank with 63 population, quite big, I'm satisfied atm.
does settelments gets stuck after one building. they gave me only one building to contruct and after that nothing to construct. is that random or its a bug problem?
@@nileshkalambe7346 I'm stuck too and I don't know how to make my settlement profitable, it keeps losing money right now...
@@roemip me too, i don’t know what to do
Lol I'm just starting a new game to enjoy all this new stuff. I have my space fairing, economy wreaking Kachillionaire character, and now a humble overseer character. It feels like two completely different campaigns at this point lol
I would like to see more quality of life addon's like more beds, house furniture, decorations, etc. The other thing that is disappointing me is that cuboid objects won't snap with wood, stone or the other metal building items, yes you can build with them over the other stuff but it would be nice if they snapped (and yes I know they are different sizes). Another thing I don't like is that when building on a second floor the objects like walls (example wood) change to a different style, this should be an option not a default and there is no way change it. I would also like to see the ability to change the height and distance of objects to the player, not just having it stuck to the floor or ground. Honestly this should have been in at the beginning, its a standard default building option in nearly all games with base building. Just my rant I guess. Good Video by the way. Finally another thing I want are wood, stone, and metal 45 degree corner pieces (floors, roof). this is also a standard in any base building.
thx you man this help so much
I found my settlement right on my home planet which is tropic. B class settlement with diplos, walkers and an artifact station thing beside it. Couldnt be better😎
Btw you can move the base computer. Go into base edit mode, and move it that way. Similar to moving floors or walls.
Apparently this is a new feature. I'm new to the game, carry on 😅
Can you build those weather protection things from the new expedition inside your settlement? I think I'm on a hazardous world, and I just want my settlement to not have extreme weather inside it, I can but my main base far away but I wanna know if it can just be placed there so when I'm in my settlement the weather won't bother me.
Hey @KhrazeGaming your videos are really informative and help me enjoy the game more! I wanted to know if you edit your own videos or do you have help?
i hate the grid. i want the quick menu option again
Yes! Glitch building for dummies!! I love it!!!
Thanks for the tips!
Settlements are definitely still buggy. I claimed my first settlement last night, then the 3.62 patch came out and instantaneously upgraded my settlement to an S-class with ZERO improvements completed
