Just keep pushing in the direction of the way the star path is taking you until you get to it. It will take multiple warp jumps to get there.
It'll select it as a waypoint when you first bring it up. Try the path to waypoint option if that's available (third circle).
Otherwise just look for the star that's a different color in free roam.

Try looking in the sky, inside caves, under the ocean.
If you're just looking for the milestones, go find moons and planets without life, they count and you get a free 100% (until they patch).

You can damage sentinels with your mining beam??

Somebody early in the thread said you could but I haven't found a way.
yep. I got rid of bolt casters and photon cannons. mining beams ftw

Already got almost all warp upgrades, two installed (Theta and Sigma). Still on my first system.

Finally managed to 100% my first planet.
Has to give up for a while and leave so I can get my Hyperdrive crafting done.
Man, the carnivore here creeped me the hell out. Looked like a crab with a mushroom head and crawl pretty quickly.

Pressing the options button in the galactic map gets rid of the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen
You can damage anything with it; there are upgrades just for its damage too. If you so choose you can uninstall your boltcaster altogether, although on PS4 I had some upgrades for it that made it really fun.
Anyone else getting a little dizziness/motion sickness when playing/after playing? Wasn't a problem for me the first few days but now it is. I don;t think any other games are doing it either. An effect of the FOV maybe? I don't usually notice a bad FOV, but this one did seem a bit odd.

Try to land somewhere so that your ship doesn't clip into anything. I find it never happens that way.
This is the first game to ever give me a sense of motion sickness. It was when I first walked onto a cliff, I got a weird feeling for five minutes or so and it never ever happened again :|

Trade routes.
Well, I'm off to bed. I started playing when it went up on Steam up until now xD
Visited a coupled planets, explored a lot on foot, farmed some resources, earned almost 4 millions xD
God bless Emeril. xD

I've doubled my inventory slots from 12 to 24 on my Exo-Suit. On my very first planet no less.
It's not a matter of random when Bypass Chips and those Beacons that let you search for Shelters can lead you to them with great ease.

Warp Reactor Theta is so good. Warp from one Atlas to another one one warp cell.

Hot damn, where did you find those Blueprints?

I'd like to know this too. And where are the enormous crashes ships?
Some cool stuff today.
- I was mining asteroids for iridium and copper when I was attacked by some ships. I blew a hole in a big asteroid and hid in there and they went away.
- Found a huge creature that literally made the earth shake. The screen shook with every step he took.
- Racing around the planet in my ship I made the setting sun rise. I then stopped and watched the sun set a second time.

So I just noticed this while watching a friend play, and apologies if this has been brought up already, but is the limit for each galaxy 6 planets and moons combined?
We scanned around the galaxy map for a while and all we could find was galaxies with either 5 planets and 1 moon or 4 planets and 2 moons or 6 planets.

After 8 planets throughly investigated, I just experienced my first "extreme" planet. Extreme toxicity with two storms within 20 minutes. Nothing humbles you like watching your hazard meter drop completely within 1 minute. I named it "2toxic4u" and bounced the hell outta there.
If one of you happen to ever come upon it, hopefully you have more luck than I.

Seriously. I want to upgrade my warp drive so bad.
I'm gonna keep going at it. Maybe it will pass. Sucks, because even though the game isn't the best thing since sliced bread, it;s still a calming and fun little romp for an hour or so.

This ship looks like it has solar panels attached to it.
I kinda want it. Broke though since I just bought a different ship.
Been to 4 star systems now and it's already getting kinda boring for me sadly. Gonna take a break and see if I'm up for more tomorrow. If not I'll just wait for some updates before playing again.

After like 15 warps I finally 100%'d a planet. That was a nice boost of cash, gonna have to do that on the next one too (hopefully on a planet with Gravitinos or Pearls or something)
EDIT: Also, it's really disheartening that blackholes really mostly just move you laterally. "You warped 1,000,000 light years!" (but only like 500 light years closer to the center).

Definitely the weirdest creature I've seen so far. It would just hop around.

I'm trying to an atlas waypoint that is several jumps away from my location but when I jump to the next system it then won't ket me jump to the next point, but only to where I just jumped from. Am i doing something wrong? I've been at this all evenimg and am getting frustrated.

(this is a copy paste from another thread)
I've put about an hour and a half into No Man's Sky and it's exactly, to the point, what I expected from sensibly digesting all the pre-launch media and previews.
On one hand I don't feel it's a very good game, at least for my taste. It's very repetitive, follows a shallow gameplay cycle, and is definitely too big for its own booths. On the other hand I really admire the technology within and the general ambience and mood it conveys, which is something that on this 3D scale hasn't been done before.
So I'm left in this weird middleground. I think there's a lot of potential in the technology and concept that today is partially hindered by Hello Games being a tiny team, and partially technology itself. I'm not sure how feasible an even more complex, game system rich No Man's Sky under the same huge galaxy+ size template would be with today's CPU and RAM bottlenecks. There's definitely a place for a game that's No Man's Sky with even deeper, richer game systems, maybe in the future. I also like a lot of the concepts put into the game as-is; the language stuff is super neat, mining is fine, faux-RPG inventory and gear, etc. But it's still all follow the same relatively shallow gameplay loop.
It just never really presents itself as anything other than this though. Like it's 100% built on how invested you, the player, will subjectively be in this galaxy spanning resource acquisition adventure. The adventure is just you. And either the smoke and mirrors and game systems don't work and you don't care and it's all a crock of Molyneux shit. Or you're caught up in the scope and travel and legitimately (if potentially superficial) endlessness of everything and find peace and wonder with that. Or maybe you fall somewhere in between.
And I think me having quelled huge expectations, that's what the game is for me; an in between. I know I'm going to get bored, just like I get bored with Minecraft and Destiny, because I don't really like these gameplay systems very much. I don't like the feedback loop of resource gathering and upgrading. But at the same time I'm fascinated by the technology and its implementation, mainly for the fact it exists right now and there's potential for it to grow in the future. I can fly between planets and moons in real time and land on the surface and it's all fucking huge with gorgeous vistas and even though it's nothingness and pointless I still love the fact this can be done and I haven't done it before.
I'm basically a tourist in a technology demo I really like, and a game I don't. And I'm kinda okay with that.

Ugh keep getting burned by these overly hyped large indie titles (this alongside The Witness).
Games just not fun, tired of the loop already and the discoveries at times feel a lot like things I've discovered already. Hell my daughter can't even stay engaged and she's naming all this stuff. Also some of the planets have terrain that simply doesn't make sense.
Sorry No Man's Sky you join The Witness as most disappointing game this year, congrats. At least I can sell this one!

I was in actual awe every time I visited. That in particular, was an incredible sight. Can't imagine how amazing that would be in VR!
You need to get your head checked.
For what?
This game just feels boring, and The Witness left me wishing the game didn't have the amazing setting that it never capitalizes on with a interesting story. The only moment I really enjoyed in The Witness was discovering the other puzzles
hidden in the environment
This is kind of where I am with the game as well. However, I'll say this:
I tend to play when I have a group of 3-4 people hanging out in a party chat all playing at once, and sharing our experiences and commentary makes the experience more amusing/funny/interesting, as we can instantly share the moment to moment stuff in a way that makes it more social, than say... coming on Gaf and posting about it.
I also expect to kind of drift back to the game off and on between other games that I'll blow through with greater narrative focus, while I play this more leisurely. I'm not trying to power through it. Just meander, and not make myself hate the game, either. Burning out on the systems it has in place would ruin it for me, and I know that.
I know what you mean. I've see the giant land coral in white on nearly every planet.

What is the point of creating a POI for an abandoned building, place it under water in the middle of an ocean, and when you managed to make your way there, OOPS no door! Can't get in! TWICE in same star system.
No door? That's new to me. Was it a door you hate to shoot open? Or could you just not find one? That's weird.
