Is Emeril the best item to farm at first for cash? It seems to be the best I have found this far. (I'm about two hours in. Just got the last ingredient to make warp drives)

I'm running a 770 and the game runs 100% fine for me. Haven't left my starter planet yet though.

Although it did start me off on a radioactive planet and I have to run around finding shit for my ship omg I'm gonna become a chernobyl monster before I can leave

No Mans Sky-CODEX <-- out there for those that care.

Step 1: go to the folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS)
Step 2: Open TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML with notepad
Step 3: Change the fullscreen value to False and the borderless window value to true

That is how you fix the crashing on startup.

Depends on what the resource prices in your system are. Go to a trade station, look for items with gold stars next to them. Those items sell way above galactic average within that star system.

Just farm up whatever resource seems to be selling at a +% either on the planet or at the space station. Later on you'll find planets that have ground items that you can run around and pick up (unstackable though) which go for 25k+ each, so search for all those Drop Pods while you're running around to increase your suit inventory (max is 48 slots).

Yeah it's good. That and gold early on are good money makers and tend to either be in abundance or not there at all.

100 FoV still feels extremely small in this game, while on foot at least. Not a very big fan, but liking everything else thus far

Well I just found my new cash farm... Roughly 1 mil every 10 minutes, more if I don't bother fighting.

Still at work but from what I read the slider is broken and you have to change it in an ini file

Yeah that made a difference. 180 is probably a bit too high. Kinda fishbowly at 1440p.

My wife and I had been looking forward to this, but the no multiplayer (nice that in the graphic up there they crossed it out, nice touch...) killed it mostly for us.

I was going to give it a spin anyways, but this metric crapton of shit reviews is seriously making me think it's time to wait for it to be on a steam sale...

If you aren't itching to play solo SPACE MINER then yeah, probably for the best to give it a wait.

By the time its on steam sale the basebuilding patch may have already dropped as well.

Thanks for this. I had already messed around with the ini but for some reason didn't assume it went above 100.

150 seems like the sweet spot for me on a 1920x1080 resolution, feels proper and far less claustrophobic.

is there any trick to landing on a pad? I can't look down when in the ship to really tell where the hell I am.

Hold back/brake and it lets you look down a little, if you look at the pad or landing beacon you'll see little crosshairs on it. Also if you just hit land over the pad it'll drop you down on a guided path.

Watching day9 stream it right now, seems to be having a positively bad time. Parked on a space rock, cant get back up. 'Guess we continue until we find something fun'. Doesnt find anything fun. Ends up using jets to suicide but spawns at a save point instead of ship. Lol.

You can climb walls if you jetpack into them, it doesn't use up your jetpack then, so he could easily climb back up.

As well, if he got to various trading hubs and other locations on the map, he can craft a hacking chip thingy and summon his ship to that location.

My only real complaint of the game so far is that I think inventory management is garbage and sort of dissuades me from staying on a planet for too long. I assume you eventually unlock larger inventories for you/your ship?

Also wut? You can use your jetpack to climb vertical surfaces. His fault lol
