I adore this game. I just wish I had more time to sink into it. Outside of Bloodborne, NMS is probably the other game I've sunk the most time into this generation.

Anyone else experiencing sudden system shut-downs on PS4? I was entering my planets atmosphere when suddenly -bzzt- PS4 turns itself off.
Just saw the trailer... so about the jellyfish in space thing.
Anyone remember Colony Wars 2/Vengeance? There was an easter egg where you randomly
God do I miss games that would just give us weird shit like that... let us use our imagination from there.

Came across an unknown alien species in space, when on mission.. it was transparent and it moved like an underwater creature and it made echoing sounds (as if underwater) when you got close to it

If anyone has a PS4 Pro and isn't happy with the performance on a 4K TV, manually output it to 1080p. I don't know why this game is so weird but it makes a huge difference to me. I'm not even one to care about framerate but I have to force this game to output in 1080p for it to be playable.
regarding the jellyfish thing (unless I am mistaken)
that ties into how you get your living ship, though I could be wrong.
I haven't played it in several content patches, does the fps limit option not fix that anymore? I know without it the framerate was all over the place.
All the additions have been fantastic thus far, but this is the pack the game sorely needed for quite a while.
Are the solar systems fully 3D now? I remember at launch people being upset because the sun was a sky box and you couldnt actually fly around the solar system, just a line of static planets that didnt rotate around a sun
I really wish they'd change up how this game starts. Decided to give it another go but so far, its the same. I get theres a load of new stuff added but as of an hour or two in its not presenting itself. Will give it a bit more time though.
Whatever they done to space is pretty awful though. Its like flying through a thick cloud layer at all times.

Just saw lighting in the clouds while I was flying across a blazing hot planet during a storm, looked really, really cool. I wanted to land and experience it on foot but I was trying to escape sentinels lol.
I really wish they would improve the TAA it's so unstable :/

Interesting. I'm playing on the Pro, and so far, performance has been good. I want to say there may have been one moment of a framerate dip while I was roaming around tonight, but it didn't last.
I'm curious how the PS5's Boost Mode is going to improve performance while we wait for a legit next gen patch...
New planets/biomes? New Weather? New CREATURES?
Might be time to jump back into this for a third time. Planet variety after the Beyond update left me a bit bored after 500+ hours into NMS over the years. Hopefully with this update and all the ones before, it will rekindle that enjoyment I got early on exploring the unknown.

This update is amazing, exactly what I wanted. The new animals are so much better than the old designs, and it makes me really hope there's a fauna focused update soon to bring the legacy animals up to par. My favorite so far is this Scrat, Diglett, Frog looking guy.
I have to say this game is still unfortunately incredibly broken. I'd settled on an interesting planet and a little island in the ocean to build from and had parked at the nearest big land mass to gather resources. Attempting to open the menu to make fuel caused it to ctd. Then on my next attempt putting that fuel in the ship did nothing. Its now full but will not take off. So essentially my only option is to hoof it to a nearby ship and see if I can repair that.
Which I have to say I dunno if its worth it. My last time playing I hit a game breaking bug that wouldn't allow to finish the base building storyline too. Its just incredibly disappointing that 4 years later I'm still hitting such disruptive bugs, especially just over an hour in

I have learned to wait for a few weeks worth of minor hotfixes after a major update before starting to play. They always introduce lots of new bugs with the larger updates they do, but are quick to fix them at least.
Fair enough. Yeah its probably a bit of a cycle I'm landing in. The new update brings me back but I come back on launch day and then get smacked with the bugs XD I'll try again in a couple weeks if it doesn't correct itself later
As much as I and others blasted Sean, (rightly so) he took the best approach possible now that I look at it in hindsight. He stopped talking and started really working to fulfill everything he said. He has taken what was a joke and made an incredible game out of it. I'll have to dive back in for this update at some point.
Forgot to complete/collect frigate missions before the patch.. Tried it last night and got a system crash. Just a word of warning for those who haven't saved for a while.
Decided to give this another go yesterday once the huge update dropped. Is it me or Permadeath mode seems kind of broken?
First try: planet at -61C, died because of the cold
Second try: planet with high toxicity, managed to survive a while but eventually died because I strayed too far
Third try: spawned besides at least 4 volcanoes, died of heat
Then I said fuck it, I'll just play on Normal mode.
First try: radioactive planet
Second try: toxic planet
At this point I was like wtf and went to bed. Are all planets hazardous now or something? Because that sucks.

I'm fairly certain the game starts you on a hazardous planet on purpose as part of the tutorial, to teach you how to refuel your protection. It is pretty annoying dealing with it on every new game.
If you set the PS4 itself to 4K you have 2 options in game
framerate unlock = up to 60fps but struggles a lot
framerate lock = cap at 30fps but doesn't struggle to maintain it
If you set the PS4 itself to 1080P max the game will not struggle to maintain 60fps when framerate is unlocked in game.
Ah, thanks for the info. Such a shame they never put the resolution option in game like how some games have resolution/performance modes.
You always start on a hazardous planet, presumably to teach you the importance of staying alive.
It's that way for the tutorial missions, then you leave and find a nice planet.
The first system is tutorial system and all planets will be terrible. You aren't meant to stay in them and death in the beginning trying to find sodium is pretty much expected.
It seems like a design choice to start you off on a rough planet, as others have said. It serves as tutorials for recharging equipment, and it adds urgency in getting things repaired. You get the peaceful calm once you sit inside the ship for the first time after trekking a kilometre to it, and you get the sense of relief when you get off the planet.
I started a new game last night and loved every second of it. I started on a fiery volcano world with huuuuuge lava ball plants that were cool as hell. Everything was glowing and looked fantastic. Firestorms made the entire screen ripple with heat waves. It was amazing.
Looking forward to continuing with it while listening to some great podcasts/interviews/movie commentaries. This is the best game ever for playing while listening to interesting stuff.

Yeah. At some point you either just go all in on exploring or are concerned with managing billions and empire /fleet building. The little stuff disappears once money and resources arent a problem.
I played this briefly and thought it was alright, but maybe not for me
Procedurally generated stuff isn't my issue. I simply want to go on my ship, fly to another planet, explore freely then repeat. Think Outer Wilds. I don't want to do gathering and crafting to be able to do something as simple as exploration.

Most definitely there is mid-game to late-game technology that trivialize things like that. Once you set up adequate farms you can stop hunting for different resources as well. There are probably things I don't even know about but regarding your specific launch fuel gripe, there is a ship upgrade you can install called launch system recharger that automatically regenerates launch fuel over time and you basically never have to think about it again. I had it on my ship back when Beyond came out and it was so nice.
Damn, never thought about that. I haven't played the game since launch but would jump back in on the PS5 for sure.
Played this for a few hours last night after bouncing off a few weeks ago, and the graphical update is really phenomenal (on PC at least). Variety of stuff seems cool, and I love the giant mountains.
Its a shame how the core gameplay is still so...boring. After playing a lot of base builders recently, NMS still lags behind for the amount of grind and lack of satisfying rewards (at least 3 hours in, but idk if ill keep going).

Well, given that the 4K mode has an unlocked frame rate, it's almost a guarantee you'll get a super smooth experience, even if other elements don't get patched / enhanced down the road.
If you're on PC I highly recommend checking out some mods, hopefully they should be compatible soon. I usually mod to clean up the image (remove CA and such) and I also usually go for reduced asteroid density, which is offset by asteroids giving more materials. Moda don't affect achievement either.
