They stack. The borders being colored means you put them together and they get a bonus.

Yeah, as far as the bolded bit goes I understand the reasoning. It's basically how I've been playing anyway and never really had a problem. I think bases, when they come, will ease this issue as I imagine you can stockpile stuff but not just carry it around with you off world. Itd make for easier mining/graviton collecting at least. Vehicles too, if they ever do that.

Triangle on PS4 to switch weapons, on foot or in your ship.

Didn't realize spaceships would land at the alien sites on planets. I walk out of one after using the trade machine and one was landing. Kind of cool.
Getting a bit over the space pirates though. Fuck off.

After several planets and systems with pretty similar wildlife, I ran into 3 very distinct species tonight. Each one made me realize there is still so much to see.
A hopping
A
A 2x my size
this one was the last species of a planet. Spent over an hour looking for it. Found it at the top of a mountain. I was grumbling until I saw it.
None of them were hostile either. So I could get close and check them out

pineapple
praying mantis
t-rex

I complained earlier about low sensitivity with the game, took 3 seconds to turn 180.. Now I got a new controller and it seems the older (near launch) controllers had tighter sticks. I can now turn at full speed and a kontrolfreek fits in fine and doesnt bump into the stick housing. Weird how bad the launch dual shock 4s were.

I just been wondering about that.
I been following the atlas path, but decided to go back on my self and try that black hole that was offered to me, I've only jump one system on my way back so far. i just presumed that new atlas anomalies would appear for me once i'm there. Not sure what to do

Lol count me in too. I did this and when I saw where I ended up I just called it a night.I just been wondering about that.

If you come across a space anomaly you can ask them to set you back on the path of atlas. Dont know if it sets the objective closer to you but i know i saw that as an option.
Was waiting for the PC release but when my SO's PS4 copy came two days earlier I had to try the game. Didn't experience any technical troubles in those five hours. Had fun but got pretty mean planets.
Started it on PC as soon as it unlocked and played for maybe six-ish hours or so. Works pefectly at max graphic settings with 100 FoV on my system. I have some stuttering for a couple of minutes whenever I start it and it crashed once when I tried to load a game (probably the best time to get a crash ;D) which doesn't bother me at all. Seems I've been lucky for once.
Got a starting planet with knowledge stones, ruins and other lore stuff everywhere. Learned 60 words without even really trying and decided to make it my goal to max out my Korvax knowledge (to the point of skipping two Gek systems when I warped just to get to more Korvax stuff first). Love the small scenarios at some of those lore places!
My first planet was a pretty place with gold everywhere. The second planet had barren and uneven terrain to the point of screwing up the placement of beacons, houses and stuff. Found lots of floating things and also half buried stations and other messyness. Got out of there pretty quickly.
Not sure where I've ended up now since I stopped playing when I reached the new Korvax system but I'm eager to continue.
The samey stuff doesn't bother me (yet anyway) and I get to see double the samey stuff since my SO is also playing. We get a bunch of samey looking creatures and other scannable things, but also some really different ones.
As for the gameplay and it's sameyness, I just find it really relaxing so far.
The game is pretty much what I expected it to be so far.

How can I find my original spawn again? I'm on the planet. I didn't accept the red orb's mission, but I would like to.
Also, the inventory design makes me want to give up on this game.

Wow I had absolutely no idea about this. I just haven't crafted a weapon part because I thought it replaced the mining laser.

You get the effect of both, so it pays to have both. Plus yo get a slight bonus having them both together. It really annoys me that the stock jetpack is in the corner and we can't move it!

Trying to fly a ship with a mouse sounds terrible, period. Get a controller, dude. That's obviously how it was intended to be played, and it works great. Although I do wish you could fly closer to the ground without the game preventing you from getting too close. I found a planet full of awesome canyons, and SO wanted to fly through them, but couldn't. :-(

I came across this outpost today. The atmosphere in this game can be incredible.

Took about 45 minutes of walking, but I found my way to a terminal and was finally able to recall my frigging ship. I would be really curious to know how in the hell this happened.
This happened to me too! I have no idea if it was a bug or intended but it was kind of fun being a little stranded. Luckily I was very close to somewhere with a terminal though.

You talking about on-foot? Then the fastest way to move is to sprint (R3), then melee attack (R1, which makes you quickly dash forward), and then immediately jetpack (X). You'll go zipping over the surface. I REALLY hope they don't consider that an exploit and patch it out, it's awesome to be able to cover that much ground that quickly.
It really can.
Then you start to come across the same outpost again and again, and the dream is shattered.

I don't know why but I feel compelled to erase my save and start again, now that I got some hanging on the game I feel like I missed so many great occasions, on the other side being the game procedurally generated means I haven't lost anything....
Don't know what to do...sigh...

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
I'm in that predicament too.
Here we go with the knee jerk defense. I didn't say a thing about its uniqueness.
Perhaps read the comment I wrote and the comment I was responding to ?
Well it works in Battlefield, Star Citizen and a lot of other games.
The main reason piloting feels terrible in No Man's Sky is because of the laggy aim when in ship.

My starting planet on PC is a gold mine. Also has some really interesting wildlife. Much nicer than my PS4 starter.

I found some amazing bush in No Man's Sky. It was called "Corisosa Eiaiareophima" before I renamed it to "What to say".
NSFW maybe.
I cannot wait to see what other surprises this game is preparing for my journey.

Spent a couple of hours on this planet. This is what I had to show for it. Thanks Treasure Hell Planet!
Every time I see screenshot with several planets in one system, they have exactly the same continents shape. Or is it clouds formation?
Did not play the game, just wondering.

Has anyone else encountered the destination counter glitch? (Distance counter flits between 2 sets of numbers instead of counting down the closer I get to target location, sometimes even counting up instead of down!) Usually occurs with destinations found as a reward for solving puzzles. Has anyone found a workaround for it?
A lot of the outposts look like that lol
Yeah, I'm actually surprised about how few "jungle" worlds there are. It's makes it special when you come across one.

I found mine by doing Atlas missions.
More specific but not very spoliery:
Be on look out for a location in space called 'Spacial Anomaly' or similar.
Things about my starting planet:
There is so much radiation that I can only be exposed for 5 minutes tops.
Almost no minerals whatsoever
Pink terrain with green veins scattered all over it
Overrun by spider crabs that want to murder me
Ruled by King Crabius Fuckyous. Most crabs hit me once and run, this guy chases me to the ends of time or till I am dead. Only way he is satisfied. That is him below.
I just finished repairing my ship after 2 hours. The second I can warp I am leaving this god forsaken system.

Go drop pod hunting, I think I've spent over a million now on slots for my expo suit, still not maxed it out yet either and still run out of space when I'm on my mining grind.

Caught my first NMS eclipse
Stealthcobra

will i see that in the map or just open space?
NMS flying is probably the worst out of the other space flying games.
In elite I use KBM and voice attack. Tried controller was too slow. SC works fine.
I found it a lot easier with a mouse. The inventory stuff with a controller is terrible so I'll never feel that was the "intended" way. Feels so much more logical with a mouse.
I restarted once on PS4, because I always do that as soon as I get the hang of a huge game. Sure, it's procedural and whatevs but it feels "cleaner" to restart. In Starbound I restarted four times before I was happy with my "gameplay".
The only thing that i don't like it's that systems are like "space arenas", meaning that you have all these planets around you and when you want to go to another system you just take a loading screen to the next arena system.
I mean, I know they couldn't do anything else considering how huge space is but it makes it not feel seamless (like planets).
Planets though are awesome, and landing/taking off to space never gets old.
