You can manufacture a beacon, think you're allowed 5 on each planet plus carry a save point everywhere so you can just drop it wherever you want as a pin. Press up on the directional buttons if on console and you then go to ''portable''. You can upgrade your suit inventory slots at space stations also.
I play with a few others, always welcome.
I’ve pushed through a bit. Enjoying it again today. Think I was just annoyed after the game yesterday.
Good stuff. Game can be overwhelming at the start but at its core it can be a really chill game once you get everything together.
Great game, I've actually just jumped back into it myself. Only thing that annoyed me a bit was the crafting system.
I was loving it but got distracted and stopped playing it for a bit, then forgot what it was on with, so feels like it’d be difficult to pick up where I left off now. Might not be that bad though
Yeah, even after this latest update you start to see familiar patterns. Definitely think the creatures need an overhaul too in variety. On the plus side though this Origns update was said to be just the first step in adding more variety. They'll continue to roll out free updates for a long while yet into next gen also.
I got to this stage but pushed through and learned a few more of the mechanics. Not sure why but it keeps me playing for hours. I don't mind the constant mining as I'm constantly thinking "Ok I'll just craft this and then I'll be sorted" but then I'm thinking I need to go an upgrade my exosuit, and didn't I need to stop at a frozen planet for some crystals? etc... Keeps me occupied. Enjoying it!
But if you've never played it? Is it at least fun for a while?
I'm really enjoying it, but it has a steep learning curve.
It has. I started a game in 2018 and did about 13 hours. When this update came out I started afresh but quickly thought that I may as well continue my old game. I couldn't remember what on earth to do and spent most of my time googling NMS questions.
I find it very hard to stop playing
It's always one more planet, or I'll just do one more thing.Luckily I'm a highly intelligent person. Very smart, SMRT
Yep, that's the thing. I also find the soundtrack and sound effects to be very hypnotic. The sound of the mining tool and the robotic voice that accompanies everything, and the spacey / ambient music, it's a perfect recipe to hypnotise me and make 3 - 4 hours diappear!I find it very hard to stop playing
Sounds great, guess I'll get this then, thanks.
Caveat about VR blurriness still applies... Can't wait for PS5 and patches.
Definitely. Find it's the perfect game to jump into because you don't actually have to do anything, as you say it kind of hypnotises you. Definitely not a game for everyone but there's no game quite like it either.
The dream. Wonder when they announce a next gen version now
Man, I loved Subnautica. NMS had its moments, but building your base was so much fun in Subnautica. Actually felt like a safe haven from the terrors of the ocean. And super useful for charging batteries, housing vehicles, storage etc.
Mine was so cool. Had a massive overhang over an abyss with a viewing area
Wonder what they actually say when you talk to them
