You can find landing pads at trading posts and shelters that contain trading units inside. Don’t worry, there’s a really easy way to save yourself fuel – lookout for landing pads. Spending Plutonium on your launch thruster when taking off from an alien planet can get expensive and time-consuming. As many of you will know, traders and alien inhabitants regularly have issues you need to solve, and knowing exactly what their problem is will be far better than just having a stab at the correct response. Split into the Vy’keen, Korvax, Gek, and Atlas languages, making sure you know a wide variety of words in each language is essential for solving some of No Man’s Sky’s puzzles. It’s through these that you’ll learn the major languages used in the systems of No Man’s Sky’s galaxy.
Become Multilingualĭotted around every planet you visit you’ll find Knowledge Stones, Ruins, Monoliths, Plaques, and intelligent lifeforms. You can become buddies with any non-hostile animal by offering the preferred bait of that particular creature.
Befriending wild animals is essential if you want to find rare elements, blueprints, or multitools, as friendly animals will either dig up and bring you the goods or lead you to secret locations. Making friends is a crucial life skill, and in No Man’s Sky, that’s no different. If you have an upgraded proximity scanner for rare resources and points of interest, your analysis visor can also identify what some of the ? markers in the distance are. Not only is it a great way to earn extra cash, but it can also help identify how a species behaves towards you (so you’re not unexpectedly attacked). Scan Everything You CanĪs well as uploading all of your discoveries, make sure you do scan everything you see. Also, if you find 100% of all animal species on a planet, you can upload your discovery and bag a huge bonus in the hundreds of thousands of credits. A new base pays out 1,000 credits and new flora discoveries give you an extra 500 credits to play with. Uploading a new system bags you 5,000 credits, with a new planet or animal granting you 2,000 credits too (and yes, that’s on top of the 200 an animal find already gives you). To claim money for your finds, you’ll have to go into the game’s pause menu and individually upload each discovery. This may sound like a no-brainer but, aside from a 200-credit bonus when you scan a new creature, No Man’s Sky doesn’t automatically reward you for new discoveries.
