Make a platform with the terrain manipulator if you are not at an abandoned building
Get on top of your homemade platform or the building
Mine an egg and be prepared to hop down and grab what's inside (only mine one because they disappear and do so quickly)
Jetpack and maneuver back onto your higher up platform
Rinse and repeat!
They have a game mode where you can skip all of that. Complete freedom from the micromanaging side of things.
You get credits for scanning, and nanites for uploads. Go to your discovery page.
If you stay up high, they don't know what to do and even have a hard time attacking you once you jump down. If you get the hang of it, they don't even have time to attack before you've already grabbed an egg and jetpacked to safety.
Yeah, i just found this
Ruins are really lucrative, i got some nice upgrades out of that cash.
just tried it, they move too fast
I've made a lot of money lately :P
how do you even pick one up?
It is a bug, read the rest and just look at the picture in the next posting. :D
I think I stranded myself on a planet. Landed on my second planet, and it turned out to be an ocean with a few small islands with no rocks. Can't find any dihydrogen or plutonium for launcher fuel, and I've died a few times just trying to swim out to find more land.
Should I just restart?
Should I just restart?
Oof.. hmm maybe yeah. You used the binoculars and everything to find dihyd?
That's, because you don't need plutonium anymore for launcher fuel. ;)
WTF WOAHYeah, i just found this

Yeah, no dice, then they ended up getting damaged after a death. I'll probably just make a new save.
Someone posted an artifact worth 67 million too. Insanely good value if you get lucky enough. It takes a while to get the treasure though, and the only one I've completed so far had a treasure worth 650k, so while it's always nice it's not always "I WON THE LOTTERY!" nice.
I think you would still have that same problem if you played on Normal. I'm pretty sure you aren't going to be finding uranium in any of the starting systems. It's rare and only available in other colour stars I believe. You craft Starship Launch fuel for your landing thrusters. The game's tutorial should have told you that. It actually does so once you run out I think? You craft it with ferrite dust and dihydrogen jelly. Dihydrogen and Ferrite are everywhere.
So, to reiterate: uranium isn't what you need to recharge your landing thrusters at the beginning of the game. Everything you can get from a planet resource-wise is listed on the popup the shows its name when you scan it from space. I think that list is also ordered by rarity of deposits with common on top and rare on the bottom. The purple "exotic" item is at the very top of that list and it'll require Hazmat Gauntlets to collect. You have to buy better hyperdrives to get to other colour stars that have rarer items.
You should still switch back to Normal as it is much less stressful and more people play on that mode then others. I switched back to normal after playing on Survival since that mode was introduced. Normal is so much more chill and it actually feels weird to be on planets where I don't need hazard protection (basicially every planet will be hot, cold, radioactive, or toxic on Survival). I was also so used to stockpiling stuff for life support and hazard protection that I have more than enough now.
What is the name of the type of planet it is?
What is this bug? Has it been patched out? I had both my ships on my freighter at one point...
If you got access to the craftable elements they are always worth way more than the materials they are combined from
All S-class everything...except my multi-tool where I've only ever seen C class so far. Might just end up doing the quest line a bit
Land on landing pads as much as possible. It is what I got used to after playing survival where taking off took 100% of your landing thrusters. Looks like they nerfed that to 50% with this new update on Survival.
Buildings that have landing pads or a glowing pole that always you to summon your ship can be landed at for no cost. You will see a landing circle appear and you can land there when it turns green. You can also summon your ship to landing pads even though now we can summon them whenever, using pads to bring your ship to you now probably doesn't use fuel now.
Dude, are you playing on PS4? If so, hit me up at RgoularT23 on PSN and I will bring you some fuel.
Destroyed a Whispering Egg and then was attacked by like a horde of 12 Xenomorph like alien creatures. That was....different.
Decided to forgo my ship upgrade for now so I could pick up a new multitool. Ended up getting the S-class at the anomaly for 3 mil. I ain't buying a new one ever again...
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot that I got totally fucked by the sentinels. I had no idea they'll chase you into fucking space now!? Killed two waves of them but they just kept coming and I couldn't warp the fuck outta there so I had to reload my last save.

Do ruins show up via binoculars or what should I look for?
Just drop a base computer at the site of an abandonded building and claim it. Build a wall around one of the egg sites with enough space room for the aliens to spawn. Break on the eggs and that section and watch all of the aliens spawn inside trapped in the wall. Then just casually go and pick up all the other eggs.
Anyone got any handy tips that could lead me to discover a lush tropical planet? I'm just galaxy hopping and having no luck. Found one but it was a frenzied sentinel planet, lol.
Reading all these ruin success stories is really making me hate myself for picking language...ughhhh
Wow, this whole base archive quest is completely fucked up broken and it makes me angry again.
Not only do I had to build a base in the system where it started and restart the game cause the emblem was in space, now, for the second part of the quest, the emblem is again in space, in a whole nother system! So I have to build a stupid trash base again. -.-
Come on Murray, get your shit together, Jesus Christ.
I love this game to death and no other game this gen had me sucked so deep into it for almost a week now, but the whole amount of huge, not small, huge and game breaking bugs is laughable. Have they even tested NEXT?

The fix for your emblem showing up in space is like this...
1. Manual save at your base.
2. Delete your base.
3. Reload the manual save you just made before deleting.
4. The emblem should now be at your base computer.
Oh my god, I finally managed to escape the damn planet that kept causing crashes. Jesus Christ. Shit really soured what had so far been a very enjoyable experience with this game.
Heh, I have the exact same problem with the base archive quest. Waypoint just in the middle of space.
Me too!
I did finally get a ruin today, dug up the keys, opened the treasure and got........a fossil worth 159,000. Where my millions?
If I had to guess, the locked date for the Xbox launch put them behind the 8 ball this time. There are some very ambitious technical improvements in this game, along with all the new features and overhauled systems, and just couldn't quite get it done and tested in time. The fact that they had to launch with lower-detail clouds and no tessellation kind of speaks to that.
On the upside, they've always done a good job of sorting these issues out and they are working really hard to do so.
