Secret Changes In The New No Man's Sky Fractal Update

The hover scanning option is mostly for users that can keep pressure on triggers for longer time. Think of people with arthritis or any other mobility disability

🤦‍♂️

Dude is so excited for left handers

The planet looks interesting, can I have the coordinations

Since when did scanning stuff become so much faster

Next update, I want the ability to control my starship with only my keyboard.

It only costs 40 H2 (dihydrogen) when you craft jelly, when you refine it it costs 30. So you could still gain 40 (+10) from 30 by doing it all in the refiner, except that I think it was 30 secs to refine 1 jelly from H2. I assumed they added that 40 (+10) or 30 (+20) for 50 refinement trick because if you end up stuck (no launch fuel) and unable to find H2 it's necessary to refine more like that, but nowadays it's nearly impossible to not find H2 I suppose. You can also make 1 H2 with 5 H3 (tritium). Although if they're updating it for logical consistency 2 H3 for 3 H2 makes more sense.

So if no one has access to your refiner, does that mean you've got no access either and will need to get a new one? Or does it mean, no-one else? So you still have access to it, I suppose?

Did you know planets can be organic? Like a living ship. But a planet. Also the flyers or pilots on the planets are living ships. But it cost a lotta money.

😆😆😆😆😆changes the hold dynamic...

Good thing I already farmed 20k di-hydrogen to make 8 kilotons of frigate fuel. Don’t need to worry about it just yet

This was made for 4 year olds. Dude your voice is so patronising and condescending. You're so amazing having figured out these secrets that weren't secret at all and were literally in the patch notes. Gotta stretch that run time though eh? I don't even know why I'm still watching your videos at this point, your fake enthusiasm is extremely annoying.

This guy takes way too long to say the simplest thing, this was painful to listen to

It saves longevity of these garbage mice we have these days that only last a year or two max, so, I'll enable the hover to scan because it still allows you to click scan as well.

Biggest change I noticed is having hundreds of me millions worth vanish from my refiners

I started playing again after like 2 years, I don't know if it's a bug or if they changed some visual stuff (i play on Xbox one S) but I can't see the sky when I'm on planets?? Like, I can see the top clouds of the atmosphere and it's just the space and stars as if the planet didn't have an atmosphere. I love the way the skies used to look and idk if there's something wrong with my game or not

My Jelly!!!!!,,, Nooooooo!!!!!

They aren't exactly secret changes if they were in the fucking patch/release notes

You cant duplicate item with refiner anymore. I try, But you can duplicate with your backpack refiner in multiplayer.

Wish they do a ambidextrous option. Where it chooses based on ease of direction your moving.

Good tips Thanks, cool music at the end too.

When did they add this stupid requirement to be near a base to create items that you may need while traveling, such as fuel for your ship when you're an hour away from base?

This guy is talking about some ''hydro-gelly'' exploit which was ''nice to have'' back in the days and i'm still smashing chlorine through the systems while collecting cobalt :') ....

I could use more logical consistency in my life.

They did in fact NOT fix refineries. They still loose their inventory every time you leave the system your base or freighter is in. Doesn't matter if you are in single or multiplayer.

Oh yes. Awesome changes. Bugs, crashes, save file corruptions. This patch corrupted my 600 hour save. This game can go f**k itself.

Thank you for spot lighting the left handed mode, people don't think much of that stuff nor realize how much it actually changes. I'm ambidextrous however there are a lot of tasks I cannot do right handed and only left handed. This left handed mode makes me actually not hate third person mode finally. I didn't notice the Hazard effect thing, that will be super useful as an explorer when I land on planets during extreme storms you cannot see anything so trying to land is a nightmare! I stopped landing on cold planets with how much it impairs vision xD

Isn't Jason just the best?

WOW! that hand change thing is so IMMERSIVE!!!!!

It seems even if you can find Di-Hydrogen jelly for sale in a terminal, turning 20 jellies back into the element form takes a couple of minutes rather than the few seconds it used to take.
I had a couple of systems saved where it was for sale but that's not so ideal either now lol

I don't know if the auto flashlight option was there before, but if not it's great to see we can turn that off now, always bugged me when it randomly switched on in my frieghter.

One you missed: you can no longer trade your ship and then trade it back for free. Another cheese/exploit fixed.

So what are the secrets? I just watched a mansplaining of patch notes video.

Is there anybody that has the issue with quick menu not working when in flight. So I'm stuck in 1st person, I can't call in the anomaly, I can't warp (which is an issue with the last expedition badge) and when I'm on foot the quick menu works but it's reverse with build menu. I've already look into my controls setup and everything is what it should be. So basically, I can't play until there's a fix for this...hopefully.

Hey all, new here. Have played NMS on switch for around 500 hours and still love it. Got real excited with the new update when I got the pop-up message that "Trace of Metal" mission was started, but:

I do have the mission selected as active in my mission log

I dont have a settlement and have never seen a proper one, since I am paying on switch

The cartographer still is NOT selling settlement maps

The mission log does not tell me where to go...I assume because I dont have a settlement?

I have destroyed three nests of sentinels in different systems in hopes of triggering some next phase, but no dice

Hope someone can shed some light on this if it is playable on the Switch.

Thanks,
-d

Quite bummed about duping di Hydrogen lol now I have to go farm di hydrogen absurd 😂😂😂
Actually found this change quite early because I’ve always duped di hydrogen

Seeing the hazard effects are great to have in vr when your playing with no HUD so you have an idea how much you are radiated etc.

Hazard Effects setting will be great warning if playing on Permadeath mode.

The Auto scan is really for people with arthritis and other limited function in their hands. I know a few of them that playing for to long, whether mouse & keyword or with a gamepad, they start to hurt. That new function will help them by removing one more required button press.

you should try yelling

This makes no sense I'm right handed I want the guy on the right not the left 🤣 I'll have go swap to left hand for the third person play

Weird I still have to keep cursor on animal for it to scan...

Lots of cool things that they are continuing to do. Alas, the Fractal update broke the game for me. I now cannot play at all, and I am sitting on my behind waiting for a patch to restore my fun. 😔

For me at least, auto scanning is a very good change, especially since it is optional. I don't have to worry about constantly holding down the mouse to scan, except for the occasional fast moving creature.

The hover scanning is a game changer for me I have seven fingers and my mouse hand only has one finger I can use for buttons so not having to hold the button down saves me a lot of finger pain

Before the update I could never see the sails of solar ships. So it was always a gamble/surprise if you didn't get shape or color you wanted. Now I can see sails after update. Makes it so much easier to buy/trade ships.

had the issue with that befor those chnages for me 35% is pretty good. for heavy system wide change better save and reload the game to ensure that the gameplay cache is uptodate.

My oxygen refiners lose all their oxygen if I leave the planet and come back. Not happy.

The hover over something to scan it option, is a reversion to the way it used to be

This update made the game a lot more unstable for me. Had 3 crashes in less then 30 min. More of you got this?
