I played for a bit earlier. Three or four barren planets, then boom! Paradise Planet. Absolutely teeming with wildlife, dozens of creatures on screen at once, including 6m tall Horned, bipedal dinosaurs. Pretty cool. 

 

The more I play, the less I care about the "game". I got a new multitool, but that was it in terms of progression.Otherwise it's just sightseeing and relaxation. I find it really helps me unwind after work.

Yeah I'm on a fantastic planet now. Hopefully get some pics up tomorrow, it's a lush world with rain storms and Albumen Pearls. I might never leave. 

 

I actually had a ship similar to the golden condor land at a trading post, but I was about 16 million short unfortunately.

Hey, I'm not the No Man's Sky police! If you've lost your mojo, just do something else, like watch Burial Ground: Nights of Terror again.

 

DON'T YOU THINK I'VE TRIED THAT?

 

Yeah, it'll come back. I don't think I've got any reason to harvest anything but iron and plutonium now, and that's just to keep things topped up. I should just completely ignore structures and just play like an intergalactic hobo. I was pretty much doing that before I left, but for some reason I approached it as a game again after I came back. I guess it's a bit like having to tune a guitar after it's been left for a while.

Starting to panic about not being able to buy a replacement Atlas Stone for the one I sold. Nobody seems to have any for sale :(

 

Ships landing in space stations tend to have them every now and again. I'd say 1/20 but that is still going to take hours with bad luck.

I saw a post on Reddit suggesting people just park their ship, and walk. Don't use the scanner, just set off and see what you find. If you find a beacon, you can call your ship.

 

I'm up for that at some point I think. Sometimes I fly over a planet and I want to stop absolutely everywhere. Next time I find one like that I'm ditching the ship.

 

FOR AN HOUR.

I ditched my ship for over 10 hours on a single planet. It was great.

I basically stay on a planet or in system until I get bored with it, then just use my Warpdrive Theta to move on as far as i can towards the Centre so I can roll the random planet generator again.  If i get something that doesn't engage me, I stay only long enough to refuel my hyperdrive & move on again.  It probably helps though that I quite like tracking down those monuments/plaques so I can get those little snippets of species backstory or the occasional 'test of character' some of them throw at me.

 

I think I may have run into a glitch that a lot of people have before though.  I'd been checking in with Nada & Polo just to see what my favorite interplanetary exploration team were up to, & Polo requested a 100% planet scan, something I hadn't been bothering with before, but decided to do just so I could keep my interactions with them going & see where they might be heading.  I scanned a nearby planet 100%, but the game doesn't seem to have registered it on the journey milestones, & I can't report my findings to Polo.  Is this a common glitch?

I've gone on some long walks, very soothing (on the right planet). There was a guy recently who walked around an entire planet, looped back to his ship. I forget how long it took, but that's dedication to a bit.

Yes, and he got an article on IGN I see.

 

Whatever the game's flaws, you've got to applaud the fact that it exists. There's no other game in which you could circumnavigate a planet on foot is there?

 

That's the magic of it. A whole planet, over and over again, for the rest of your life and far beyond! It deserves a place in videogame history, even if it's hard to work out how any gameplay mechanics could rise to meet that achievement.

Was it a planet with no lifeforms on it by any chance?

 

No, it had lifeforms. It was rather a nice place covered with swaying purple grass & lots of herbivores.  I scanned every animate & inanimate object there until the planet description said 100% & with no question marks, & I also 'filled' my quota of save points by just saving anywhere I found them.

 

That is how the save point thing works doesn't it? You don't need to save at particular places to 'fill' those slots at the top at the planet summary?

You also have to click on the '100% Complete' button to register it.

No reason the two couldn't be mashed together - the creatures of NMS replaced by the weird combo items from Mario Maker, biomes for ice, water and desert, variations of platforming elements, algorithmic red coin challenges, scattered bosses here and there... technically achievable but forever out of reach, like peace on Earth,
