Uhh, is this normal? I just left the space anomaly and this is the site that awaited me. That's a fuck ton of freighters and ships just sitting there in space doing nothing. I hope this game isn't glitching on me.

First, just FYI as you walk in to see the two in the room up in the center and on the right is another opportunity to buy a scan tool. Tall round thing with a button in the middle.Originally Posted by SmoothPancakes
One of the biggest PITA in this game is probably creating this problem. Happens anytime you want to do and event/quest, go back to someone after event, etc. You have to make sure that you have this particular event selected in the LOG of things to do. Make sure the Space Anomaly quest is selected and sometimes it takes a few seconds to kick in.
It is normal.
I hope you are renaming all those places you visit, that is a lot of Nanites, just from that one planet.Yeah, I just kept flying around from building to building, scanning constantly as I went along. It worked wonders though! I found at least 15 or 20 drop pods on that single planet, I found dozens (had to be at least 50-60+) manufacturing facilities, observatories and transmission towers, so I ended up with crafting blueprints up the ass. Also found a lot of whispering eggs and opened at least 100 damaged machinery, which got me a ton of nanites and numerous A and S class upgrade modules for my exosuit, ship and multi-tool.
It was extremely time consuming, I spent literally the entire past week in real life, up through Thursday, on that single planet. But it gave me a hell of a jump start for leaving and jumping to new systems now.
Also, something I recall being an issue for myself and many others. When you do discover all the creatures on a planet, it will not kick in (including the nanites for finding them all) until you click on the little paw that lights up. It is a silly decision by NMS but I thought I would warn you ahead of time.
I already had the anomaly selected as the active mission, so that shouldn't have been an issue.
Yeah, I figured out the paw thing earlier in the week.
Are you sure we get extra nanites from renaming discoveries? I renamed them and yet I only get the exact amount of nanites it said I would get if I just uploaded without renaming them.
I did not mean extra, sorry, posting while eating tasty burgers.Just that you had the all unchecked in the image and would get nanites for doing so.
Hmm, go back and speak with him again? Sometimes it takes awhile for the status of generating the mission and having it already completed and ready to turn in takes a bit. As long as there is not a counter on the screen that says Polo is busy and will be back in "X" amount of time, you should be good. This is what happens when you are rewarded for completing his required milestones, so you are not able to do a bunch in a lump sum on the spot.
Ah, alright. You made it sound like we got extra nanites, on top of the ones we would already get upon uploading, if we renamed them first.I did not mean extra, sorry, posting while eating tasty burgers.
Already got the countdown. I've got another 1 hour and 15 minutes while Polo is busy analyzing the previous data collection I gave him.
Alright, two things. I finally got my Atlas Pass v1. The 2 hours counted down and I got a message to return to the space anomaly. I talked to Polo again and he requested language data. Stood there for 10 seconds, it said mission completed, talked to him again and he gave me the pass.
Also, warp drive upgrades ARE backwards compatible. I just now warped to a green star system with an Indium Drive, so as soon as you get an Emeril Drive, you can ditch the Cadmium Drive, and as soon as you get an Indium Drive, you can get rid of the Emeril Drive. The Indium Drive will take you to every color system, yellow, red, green and blue, in the game.
Well, I've triggered the free freighter. Warped back to my original starting system to finish a mission and was met by a freighter under attack. The only bitch was I was in my hauler at the time, which has an obstructed shitty view. I managed to defeat the ships, after being used as a space piñata myself, and was offered the freighter, but it was a crappy 17 slot C class, so I reloaded.
Loaded back up, called my brand spanking new A class fighter that I bought earlier tonight for 13 million units, trading one of my busted to hell crashed ships that I found, and has lovely upgraded photon cannons, rockets and I can't remember the name but some bright ass beam that fucks enemy ships up. Defending that freighter is a cakewalk in that new fighter. Being A class, the damage it causes alone is massive, then add in the specific upgrades I bought with nanites for it.
I did the freighter defense two more times, but each time it was a shitty C class freighter with 17 and 15 slots. I just called it a night back at my pre-warp, pre-freighter fight save point and will try again tomorrow. I'm debating on trying the reloading over and over method until I get lucky and draw a RNG A or S class freighter, or if I should just decline it outright, move on with my missions, and hope the new free freighter fight I warp upon is a better class freighter.

See all the fun things you can do when you jump off a planet.
Thanks for the tip on the Indium drive. I can now delete the other two safely.

Yeah, I mean I enjoyed the time I've spent on planet surfaces. I'm over 60 hours into my save and I've visited exactly 3 systems and warped only 4 times. But like I said, I found so many drop pods manufacturing facilities, transmission towers, observatories, monoliths, ruins, hundreds of damaged machinery, that I got a very nice jump start on things.
25 exosuit slots, 14 high capacity cargo slots, 13 technology slots, makes it much easier to carry around the essential elements with me, so I always have on hand a large supply of magnetised ferrite, condensed carbon, sodium nitrate, oxygen, uranium, regular carbon, cobalt, ionized cobalt, chromatic metal, copper, etc.
But, while I enjoyed the time, it's also draining. One entire real week spent on that single planet's surface (the one with the 154 waypoints), every time I'd fly towards something and sit there scanning the surface, it'd take an hour to get to that something because I'd discover 50 buildings along the way, stopping at each one.
Now, other than drop pods, abandoned buildings, manufacturing facilities, observatories, transmission towers, crashed freighters, monoliths, ruins, outposts and trading posts, I just keep flying when I'm on planet. Get things done faster and I can move on.

Alright, now it appears I'm opening stuff up. After the freighter firefight, I got the trigger to start Artemis' quest line, which also gave me a secondary mission of searching base computer archives for data. I'm assuming that's what will start me on the farming missions and give me the blueprints for stuff like living glass.

Well, we're not in Kansas anymore. I have no clue where the hell I am. I was following the Artemis quest line, met Apollo, did the sentinel stuff, went through the portal, met The Atlas, and am now in a random ass system.
I think I'm on the entirely opposite side of the universe. In my starting system, I was just under 700,000 light years away from the center of the universe. The system I'm in now is 695,000 light years from the center of the universe.
However, when I go into my Discoveries, the planets I discovered in my original starting system are over 938,000 light years away.
Also, I reached Galileo milestone. I've disappointed the last milestone is at 55 or whatever number it is (I'm currently at 58). I thought the milestones would keep going up to 90, since there are 9 milestone categories with a maximum milestone level of 10. Sort of sucks knowing that I've topped out on max milestones overall, even though I'm still only level 3 for Shops Destroyed, level 2 for Planetary Zoology and still on level 0 for both Extreme Survival and Space Exploration.

Portals are a bit confusing but keep in mind you can go to any space station and use the teleporter to go back to where you came from. Also in the base building you can create a teleporter to put it on-site. You can also use Right Stick down on Altlas missions to change the progress for the Atlas back to the system you are on.

What's the max number of slots for everything?
Right now on my exosuit, I've got 25 general, 33 cargo and 14 technology.
Highest I've come across on a ship was 39+6.
And my multi-tool that I bought early in the first couple hours of playing has 23 slots.

Lmao, well, I had found a planet that wasn't terrible. It's a dusty planet that gets down to -80 degrees at night but 62 degrees during the day. However, I'm currently riding out a firestorm in my ship, with temperatures of 209 degrees.
And now that the storm is over, it's already night out. So the temperature instantly dropped from 209 degrees straight to -80 degrees, lol.
And right as daybreak hits and the temperature recovers to 62 degrees, here comes another firestorm and it's right back up to 209 degrees. Lol.
The second firestorm just cleared, and literally 10 seconds later, I get another warning of a third firestorm incoming. This is ridiculous.

48 general 48 cargo and 14 tech. Multi-tool has a max of 24. The highest slots for a ship would be a hauler, it does 48 and 8 tech.
Alright, so in that case my tech slots are already full, and I'm almost 3/4ths of the way to full on cargo slots.
That is one thing that was good about my week spent on one planet. Drop pods galore. I have only spent actual units on 4 exosuit slots at space stations, only 2 or 3 million units tops. Every other slot has come from drop pods found on planets.
And I'll hang with my B class multi-tool in that case as I have a lot of upgrade modules on it and it's 23 slots. So I'll keep that until I get lucky and find a 24 slot S class alien multi-tool.
And do you know the max slots for other ships? Specifically fighters? And freighters?
