Sweet! Yeah I hope itโ€™s better than switch, judging my the specs versus switch 1, it should easily out perform it. Not to mention updates on time!

So glad to see this! I just ordered a Steam Deck OLED, partially to play NMS on the go lol

Sodium can be found in โ€œsodium richโ€ plants, which show up as glowing yellow flowers. Use your scanner and anywhere you see a yellow diamond with โ€œNaโ€ in it; thatโ€™s sodium :-)

Good luck man! It can be a bit of a learning curve but it gets good once you get used to how to find what youโ€™re looking 4

Iโ€™d say depending on your play style, it can absolutely be a cozy game!

Just donโ€™t anger the sentinels and youโ€™ll be ok! Creative mode is even cozier :-)

Seeing as #NoMansSky had a famously underwhelming launch, after 39 free major DLCs, all built with money presumably coming from game sales throughout the last 9 years, it makes me wonder why other game studios charge premium prices for a fraction of what NMS gives is quarterly.

Is anyone else having minor visual glitches with the ambassador habs / modules in #NoMansSky ?

- Refinery blinking out from certain cam angles

- Square leaves on living walls

- Doorway assets not loading sometimes

Minor, but wondering if Iโ€™m the only one!

Imagine paying up to $2500 for a ship in SC that is just a jpeg picture of a ship that might be in the game someday maybeโ€ฆ

Ok so it was a โ€œDesigner of the corvetteโ€ problem. I put 2 entry ramps on so I could leave the ship from front or backโ€ฆ this seems to have been the problem as after removing one of them it worked fine.

Sounds like a me problem! Iโ€™ll try again after work. Maybe a restart will do the trick!

As much as Iโ€™m loving the fixes that came to with the #NoMansSky patch yesterday (9/1), has anyone else had an issue using the teleporter to get BACK to their docked corvette while on freighter? Issue was introduced after 6.0.2 patch. Will post to Zendesk later.
