Just wanted to say thank you for all your NMS vids over the years. Every time I return to NMS your vids are my go to and favorites to watch. Always great tips and I love piling up all that space cheddar thanks to your guides. Sincere thanks for sharing your tips with the rest of us!

How to get a big galactic space dong and swing it around

Dude youre really funny in a dry way and i love it 😂 thanks for this video.
"Time to break a boot off in their space butts" sent me off and i dont even know why.

I like that you sound like Nick Offerman

I've been wanting to go back to playing NMS again but I've forgotten soooo much. I've been putting off relearning it all. I just installed and as soon as I log in my settlement under attack by sentinels and I don't even remember how to change my weapon to it's attack mode lmao

Money was easy for me in start..i found a planet of grav orbs and learned you can terrain tunnel to be safe from anything lol ez game

Thanks for the guide man

Any idea why i can't find Oxygen when farming in the water? I find the other elements such as Salt... but next to zero Oxygen.

I was on the fence about this game but I watched 3/4 of your video then decided to buy it and then played 4 hours and now I'm back for the last 1/4 of the video

Have they patched out using restore points to get better ranked freighter? Killed all the pirates, had a perfect capital ship I wanted, but now it no longer spawns after doing the restore point trick and also the one there is not free

Finally decided to give this game a try yesterday since it was on sale for $30. Yeah wow this game is so god damn fun! I played for 9 hours my first sitting lol.

Anyone else hear Ron Swanson son?

Now that I don’t need it I found a planet where every underwater plant gives oxygen as its secondary I can get about 6 full stacks in about 90 seconds

A floor switch in front of your base's warp portal helps a bunch in conserving base power

Thank you for that video bud. You saved me hours of playing!!!

Hey, thank you for this guide! Planning on starting NMS in the next few weeks during the holidays, so this video comes in handy ;) Hope there will be another update soon to the game.

Also btw, I think timestamps for the different "stages" would be very helpful!

I would have one advice, no matter what you do, don't cheat, I made that mistake and it wasn't even really for cheating but for testing, the problem is the moment I obtained everything with a button push it immediately ruined the game for me even after reloading my 100% legit save, I just couldn't play the game anymore after having experienced obtaining all the resources instantly because the game is literally about gathering those resources, I still got 300+ hours of gameplay but still, if you want to test some cheats, it's probably better to wait until you've experienced all what the game has to offer.

Thanks for the video! 120 hours in and didn't know I had to 'manually' claim the bonus nanites for scanning all available fauna. I just gained about 15,000 nanites by going back and claiming all of the ones for planets I had completely scanned.
I decided I wanted to give that multi-tool a try, but when I arrived at the location in the video it wasn't the same weapon for me. It was an S-Class, but it was just a regular pistol and only had like 18 slots. Did I miss something?
Overall great video! Thanks again

Edit: Okay, I figured it out! After watching several other videos and reading comments, you have to go to the local Space Station, get out of your ship, and then Reload Restore Point. Then fly back to the planet and the S Class Alien Multi-tool will be there. I also read you want to go into Network in the in game menu and make sure Multiplayer is disabled before you take the portal to this location.

After I reloaded the restore point and left the Space Station, I navigated back to the base symbol for 'phosp' and from there I could see the Save Beacon that's close to the Minor Settlement. The Minor Settlement Nav Coordinates are: -37.55, -51.01

I just have to know, how many joints do you smoke before recording a video? Im gonna go with around 16 😂😂😂😂

This sounds like the least fun way to play this game, yikes.

Amazing guide for someone like me, who is coming back to the game after some years. It is well put together and it has all the little things I forgot over the years and was dreading to look up later down the line. Thank you!

But for new players, if you feel overwhelmed by all of this, and you bought the game to enjoy space and exploration aspects, this is a kinda min max rush through version.

You probably want to just relax, figure stuff out on your own, take your damn time to enjoy the game before you morph into a korean farmer. Sure you want the best stuff and more resources / money, but at the end of the day, that's at the end of the day. I think you will ruin your experience if you start farming like crazy from day 1 not even know what are you building towards as you haven't seen any of the game.

tl;dr consider taking it easy and getting a bit immersed, you can't really mess up and there's nothing to rush any of it, if this is your first time, it's your only first time, so have fun first and foremost :D

Wonderful video, thank you for making it Hawkes! I recently got in to NMS and having watched your video made things clearer and a whole lot easier!

I can't find a planet to land on!!!

i’m doing the artemis quest line and it’s significantly different than this one, i can’t talk to the travelers in the station what do i do?

anyone else having no interaction queues with the travelers?

Just started playing.. Holy crap there is a lot to this.. it's overwhelming

That’s fucking crazy. I am going to play on creative mode.

Brand new player here. Here’s my best advice for real noobs.

1: Just relax and have fun with the process. The game starts slow so you just need to enjoy lasering for resources and following the tutorial.

2: once you get the terrain manipulator, realize it has basically infinite ammo. You can hide from all enviro hazards and sentinels and tunnel infinitely.

3: get a free freighter as soon as you’re able. That’s the quickest way to millions of credits with very little effort.

Great video but the adds every 2 minutes is abit much cuz anytime I try to rewind or forward I literally get hit with adds and I don’t mind watching a few to support the creator but every few minutes is over kill but thanks for the video

How did you find S class ships so easily? I've been playing this game for two weeks everday and i haven't seen a single S ship, what am I doing wrong?

I was 160 hours into the game before I learned my previous toolkits didnt just vanish when getting a new one,.. So many mods repeatedly bought. Really should have put that option in the Toolkit Tab.

Never say ever you can just buy another ship to get off the plane withou5 ever having to fix your ship.

Sedondary drops are useless, as they are un-effected by the optical drill upgrade, overcharged slots and adjecency bonuses, they always drop the same miniscule amouts, so little in fact that most nms players dont even bother scanning for sedondary resources in the first place.

Despite playing a Vy'keen all the time, on the inside you are nothing but a small greedy Gek waiting to come out like the chest burster from the Vy'keens corpse! Just accept it already and change your avatar to the master race! Ater all the Gek used to be THE Warrior and Conqueror rece befor their slaves the Korvax brainwashed the on the DNA level to become greedy merchants instead.

Good job

Sheesh that's was a lot info. Thx!

How did you managed to place more than 250 in the refiners, and how its refining so fast?

Comment for the algorithm

The most efficient way to mine resources with the terrain manipulator is use the leveling tool. In some cases, the resouse deposit might also several layers so hitting your scanner will highlight if there is more.

Great guide, I was new-ish to no man’s sky so this really helped out a ton! 👍

As a new player, Is it just me or am I feeling retarded trying to keep up with wtf is my next step. Still don’t understand wtf am I practicing gek language or if I should continue requesting new dialects. Lmao and everytime I gotta go somewhere I gotta do/have 123abc to get there, worst is when my plane is a effing legit hour away on foot that has one particular needed shit stored
in it. But foreals best advice so far is when you showed the punching and Jetpack movement glitch’s took me hours to what you didn’t in mere minutes before that. Lol

You have a very similar cadences to your voices as Ron Swanson.

I spend 100s of hours mining and manufacturing freighter fuel and components just to sale them

I’ve been playing this game all wrong jeeez

I'm a new player that's been very unfocused yet lucky. This video is my new go to.

Out of curiosity why don’t you recommend using the galactic trade terminal you setup at your base for the chlorine?

Also thank you so much for this video, I travel to and from my partners on the weekend so I have to play two separate saves (PS5 at mine, and PC at my partners so I can’t just cloud transfer). I made a tonne of progress at home just doing my own thing but it’s been really fun using this video to power through the save I have at my partners without it feeling like just grinding through a tutorial repeatedly.
