For those of you who don't care, I promise this is the last post about this. All further discussion can be relegated to the matrix space.

Matrix Space: https://matrix.to/#/!tyfTFjggYNboCPZPKo:envs.net?via=envs.net

The main base isn't anything special, at least for now, but it's enough to protect from the main planet's frequent boiling storms. If any comrades need to be picked up, you can use the S.O.S. channel in the matrix space. All four stars are yellow, so no special hyperdrives are required to traverse the whole federation.

Portal Coords:

Hexadecimal Transcription: 4 0 6 E F E F B 4 9 1 3

Atlas Transcription: Tepaavpe Dipedigu Teudzago

Feel free to join us! No other planets except the main one in System Alpha have been discovered, so feel free to name them how you wish, and build small outposts, huge bases, or anything in between! I can't wait to meet all of you in our marxist-leninist space commune!

I'm a planet (or dwarf planet, idk) so I'm guessing I probably belong here.

You can be a planet again when you clean your orbit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I should get No Man's Sky and join y'all sometime.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

you should! it'd be a lot of fun to have you around

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I need to get the game first. Give me some time, ig.

Just go on without me for the time being.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

oh yeah, for sure, take your time. i wasn't intending to rush you comrade.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Understandable!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

yes-honey-left jealous cupcake.

I got this game on sale a couple years back and only just started playing it, but I've been having fun. Im not very familiar yet, but the basics seem simple enough. I don't really understand how the portal cords work or having a base planet, but I'll try and figure it out if y'all will have me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

of course! join the linked matrix. we're happy to have leftists all over the fediverse, and if you don't understand the portal coords i can bring you over using the multiplayer features. me and another comrade had to figure it out the hard way, but i've got it down now.

Bit of a late response, but one thing to keep in mind is that this game has customizable difficulty. That is, you can tune individual gameplay elements like economy pricing, crafting requirements, etc. to your needs. So if you bump into anything particularly grindy, just switch it off. This is useful when it comes to tracking down a portal and powering it up with the needed materials to travel, as that can be an incredibly grindy process.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh hell yeah

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

if you have NMS i'd encourage you to take a warp over and make an outpost!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I haven't been able to play lately but will make a point to now!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

awesome!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have arrived, comrades!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

hey, welcome!!!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What facilities is the sector most in need of currently? I've arrived with a modest amount of resources.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

but other than that, the main system is kinda lacking in bases, so feel free to just build something you think is cool or fun!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

hmm, probably some farms, and maybe a new settlement if you're willing to put yours here

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

is this still going?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yeah, but it's pretty dead. not too many people live there but feel free to stop by and make a base!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

i may just do that next time i get the urge to play! i had to stop playing my save with a freighter because i had no idea what i even wanted to do so it might be a second until i make my way out there
