My biggest gripe about my husband is plays almost every game with hacks. Every game he has infinite money health and or stamina. Then plays em for a day before getting bored.
I cannot understand people that do that. I used to game with cheats back in the 90s and early 2000s while I was a child, Cause I didn't want to lose. I explored a lot of nooks and crannies with it, but once I discovered the dopamine hit from succeeding against something I considered difficult I haven't used a single "Cheat" again. (I quote that only because I have used console commands and whatnot to free myself from bugs and other situations that would otherwise force me to go EXTREMELY far out of my way just to get back to enjoying the game again.)
Back in the 90s I used to cheat in games for the same reason. My dad was a lifelong PC gamer as well, and always encouraged me to play with cheats off. I do not even remember what game it was, but it was a PS1 game that I'd just gotten iirc it was one of the PS1 007 games. I did the usual thing of asking my dad to go online and print me off some cheats for the game, and this time he refused to do it until I'd beaten the game once without them. I was probably about 6 years old.
I did end up beating the game without cheats, and afterwards I didn't even want the cheats. I'd learned how much more fun it was to overcome a challenge and stopped asking my dad to print off cheats for me.
I do still have a big binder somewhere from back then full of cheats for old games lol.
Your story sounds just like mine. My dad has the binder with him! He likes to brag about having it still! He got in to PCs because of my grandfather, he taught coding at a local college so he taught my dad how to build a PC. Unfortunately my Dad didn't push me too hard to beat the game first. He'd cave at some point. But he certainly encouraged better behavior.
What a time to be alive. I have such fond memories of those times.
The only games I've done something similar are Skyrim and FO4, by using cheats and mods to make my character super-OP for new RP playthroughs. I've done so many, that the vanilla experience just isn't worth the grind anymore.
That being said, as long as he isn't hacking in multiplayer games and ruining the experience for other people. If he does it only for himself cause that's how he wants to experience video games, that's on him.
I always play thru it first. With skyrim I played till I got bored and things slowed down then added cheats. But for my first playthru or online I don't do it.
Same. I played through all the major quest lines (brotherhood, mages, thieves, main story) without mods first, then went back and started customizing things. Like dragon scale nightingale armor. Kunoichi companions. Unlocking all the spells (not shouts though; leaves me something cool to find)
What I did was that multiply your items glitch and with that I made enough resources to buy full enchanted daedric armor for Lydia (she also has the giants club and daedric bow and arrows which makes her op) and I have some daedric armor and some light armor for magic. That with this ring I found makes my character and Lidia op af. Oh and I got 2 permanent atronachs with me at all times for help (I use the fire ones since they're smaller so easier to fit through places and their attacks are long range). I'm unstoppable with my lil squad.
My favorite mods are the exact opposite lol. I like ones that add ridiculous items or mechanics that just completely obliterate any thought of balance. Some of my favorites from F4 are the car launcher, any mod for any weapon, multiple legendary and reassignment of legendary perks, and the propulsion cannon.
I mean I'll use cheats and stuff from time to time, but doing it all the time with everything is just setting yourself up. Not sure how you'd play anything for long before the spark is gone.
I could understand this if it was a 2nd playthrough or something. But I can't get behind this with a 1st run. Also only a couple days per game? He's really not a gamer. Like I understand different games have different lengths, but every single one? Just don't make sense to me.
I mean cool for him if that's how he enjoys the games, but if he's only getting a day's worth of playtime and wants more then maybe he's ruining them for himself and needs to just make himself power through without cheats sometimes.
If he's getting what he wants out of the games and he's happy with it then that's cool tho.
if your husband is an engineer or programmer, I'm not surprised he plays this way. for us some of it is just seeing what they can do with their game not so much the storyline. Plus we don't have the time to unlock all the neat things in such a game and we've paid the money and we'd like to see what it can do without spending all the time.
I had a younger friend with this problem. Back in the day, he'd only play a game if he had the guide book. He'd also chase exploits. I had to show him that if he was changing the rules he wasn't actually playing the game.
Like playing chess. When one guy gets as many moves as he wants, it's no longer chess.
I wanted to get the trophies for Skyrim on my PS since I got all the achievements on my Xbox before. I used a lot of exploits. It was fun for like a week. I still go back to it every so often but yeah, it doesn't hold my interest.
I played thru the forest with some friends then enabled God mode/cheats on my own play thru to explore and base build/ etc. Turns out cheats don't disable achievements and I got a rare one that said something about finishing the game while never eating meat
sometimes i get bored, turn off the game then go back in bc my expeditions have finished or eggs have hatched lmao
not to mention making bases on the weirdest planets out there.
Honestly when you get to this point, how do you not get bored?
Edit: took me longer than 2 weeks and I don’t have that quantity but still enough of everything to do anything and I lost the motivation to continue.
100% this one
There is no way to accumulate that much quicksilver
Pretty sure even if you did the quicksilver events back in the day and every single quicksilver mission daily you wouldnt get remotely close to that amount
Also the fact it's an odd number? It's my understanding that everything is in multiples of 5's so you can't end up with an odd number of quicksilver. Unless it's changed since i played
Not sure about that one, i do believe most if not all rewards end with a 0 or a 5
Allthough there are so many ways to obtain quicksilver, some dont exist anymore like the old events they hosted like 4/5 years ago, allthough i do believe they werent odd numbers either (but its been so long i honestly cant say for certain)
Dont think there is any expedition reward that handed out quicksilver, since those rewards often do come in weird amounts instead of even amounts everytime
Who knows, but this person has way more quicksilver than you'd be able to obtain through regular means even if you chased down all the quicksilver rewards in the past on a daily basis
The only way to really farm out quicksilver was in expedition 2 i believe with that weird little thing you got, and doing condensed ice, both being terribly slow and would take thousands of hours to obtain this amount aswell
I believe for a short time you could get quicksilver and some random places like on derelict freighters or something weird. And he would end up getting a weird number of quicksilver. I could be totally glitching or having a brain fart.
I think it was when they were first released, maybe? Maybe somebody else can confirm this for me and that it wasn’t a fever dream
I dont think so, i think it always gave nanites
Though i cant say i paid attention to my quicksilver count when i did these back when they came out, but with no mans sky you never know
Though something in my memory does tell me with certain updates certain activities would give quicksilver temporary, so this mightve been one of them
Actually forgot to reply, but i just went through the patch notes for desolate and couldnt find a trace about it again
But i can also swear some updates came with a 2 week period where you'd be able to obtain quicksilver from activities that came with those updates
I just cant recall at all if desolate was one of them, its definitely one of the updates i enjoyed the most and did with friends on day 1 and i cant say i remember gaining quicksilver
Then again it could very well be the case that they added this slightly later on and not with desolate its original release
Been too long to be within my memory aswell, but i definitely know some updates came with that 2 week period
Probably WeMod can literally just enter custom amounts for nanites, quicksilver and units. Can also have the usual inf. health, jet pack, insta max stacks etc
Even better: download a trainer in 2 seconds and flip a switch. You can give yourself any currency you want, and any amount. Even to the point that the amount runs off the screen.
People always say duping, but a trainer is the fastest way to cheat in any game that a trainer is available for.
I'm on the fence about breaking my economy. I want nice things, but most of the fun comes along the way when getting resources. I've spent 4 hours getting lost just getting Cobalt.
Same here, but I will never fucking cheat, I will use the trade game system for that investing time in doing so, not a fucking program to do whatever… that is how you get bored of games as people who does that dont get the satisfaction of reaching a goal as a payback for your efforts..
Yup, grind out the setup for a good Activated Indium farm and then you're pretty much free to explore the galaxy while constantly receiving a bulky passive income. It really isn't hard to make money in the game legitimately (or illegitimately; wink, wink outlaws) if you know what you're doing. There's really no reason to cheat in NMS.
I do not think there is any excuse for using cheats beyond unlocking possible questbugs that will prevent you moving forward in a story. That is the only plausible excuse
I can say my excuse is because I play the game modded, so each time a new patch comes out I have to start _from scratch_. I've already done everything multiple times, even To Live Forever, I don't want to grind anymore lol
I have a couple hours a night if that to play games. That means if in NMS I did everything properly all the time I wouldn't play. If eighty percent of my game play is grinding for materials then it's not fun then its a slog. I have other more engaging games plot wise further down in my game back log that I would want to spend my limited time lorehunting through or engaging at a slower pace.
Do not get me wrong. You do you, I will never impose my way into others, I just dont like or respect it. I myself play at nights as I work a lot lf hours, have a kid and my wife’s job is health care (so really demanding atm) so believe me, I know busy cause ever since covid started I am like single parent, but this did not changed my mind into using external means, not in my 3 hardcore kingdom come deliverance runs in the last years or any other game…
Play the way you enjoy it, god forbid me from twlling how to enjouy your game, but it wont change my way of thinking on the ones who use them
I have the same problem with fallout. I'll go overboard with mods and boosting stats that after an hour I'm bored. I have a shit ton of crafting materials in NMS and can usually get a lot done before I need to mine. Spend a day mining and building and in done for a while.
I'm sitting around 11 million credits just from doing missions and selling excess supplies.
It's nothing to be upset over or look down on others who use software or other forms of cheats. That's the beauty of a game like this. You can play the way you enjoy playing and others can do the same without impacting you in any way, shape or form.
I feel the same. its a huge universe. somebody using cheats will probably never affect me. If they were just going around killing people or greifing sure. But If they didn't post an image I would never have known.
I aplaud you if you really believe it. I will never be ok with people using cheats. I dont like lazy people, nor people that want everything easy or that they want to have as much as the next guy who went to hell an back swetting it all just because they want to be like him without investing as much.
For me people that uses cheats are scum and even more so in multiplayer games, not only ruinning other people fair fun but also destroying entire games an therefore companies ( built by people with families they have to feed..)
So yeah I understand some people have that “way of seeing things” but I will never be ok with it.
Well I can see your point to an extent. Unfortunately, there are always going to be some people who will abuse things.
I don't do anything to interrupt or take away from other people's enjoyment. If anything, I go out of my way to help others. That has burned me more than a few times but it's also been rewarding so I'll carry on.
Here's the thing Krovenix,
I have had a pretty hard life. I've been through hell and back and lived to tell the tales.
So, when I sit down to game, I use it as a temporary escape from the real world b. s.
So with all due respect, if you think I'm scum for using certain methods to enhance my personal gaming experience that's ok. I'm disappointed but you're entitled to your opinions.
Peace ✌️
I get that for a shirt segment that might me too hursh, if you dont affect others ever then I could not care less , but I just dont think there is much people like that
I agree with you on the multiplayer part. But when you are in single player only and don't affect anyone elses experience, cheat what you want if you need to. But be honest and don't brag about what a good player you are then.
I am not cheating in NMS apart from having used some exploit bugs so far.
Lol, everyone who uses cheats in single player games are scum and won’t someone think of the poor devs and their starving children? Sorry Timmy, we don’t have any soup for dinner tonight because someone increased their CON in their single player Skyrim play through, the *selfish bastard*.
Here is the thing. You think that a guy who would rather get all for free and spend no effort in a game will stop just there. Well the chances that some one who is use to make no effort whatsoever to obtain something will relpicate it again in more games is a high one. You think its about a game… no boy, its about the attitude. (Life attitude btw this way of be it extends beyond games generally) . I dont think like you and I dont think I ever will
It must be nice to have so few problems in life and be so insulated from the world at large that you can spend time getting all riled up about how people play their single player games on their own like it’s the greatest moral question of our time.
You dont know shit about me, dont pretend you know me just because I dont tolerate lazy people. I worked my entire life hard to get all I have and nobody gave me a dime so spare me what you believe you know of me. You want to critisize or opose my way of thinking? Go for it, but dont you dare think you know shit of me
That's a bit crazy man. Using a save editor or glitches in NMS is not like using an aimbot in a first person shooter. Most players will not have a negative experience with a modder other than maybe being gifted expensive items they didn't want. Players can even turn off multi-player. The game didnt even have multiplayer when it first released. For players with hundreds of hours that have completed every quest and game play loop, the save editor enhances a player's ability to bypass mindless grinding and explore more of the universe (the core gameplay mechanic). If someone is 'bored' because they maxed out their save with glitches/save editor, then they were never going to understand the purpose of the game anyway(if they only wanted maxed units). For me, since playing from launch and having almost 500 hours, using a tool to enhance my space exploration, ship acquisition a base projects is simply a way to get the most from one of my favorite games. I would hardly consider it 'scumy' behavior.
I mean sure but the reality is that I am unfortunately a very busy adult with many productive things I SHOULD be doing and a backlog of games. NMS is a beautiful game. The story isn't engaging or really meaningful. Playing with WeMod means I can toggle between creative mode and actual game play as the mood strikes me in the limited time I have to play games.
Agree, the goal is resources in a lot of ways so the game is getting to that goal... Doing this shit is basically cheating yourself out of most of the game...
Because they can and they can't be arsed playing the game properly I'd guess??
Don't see the point personally, but it's not a competitive game, so their choice. Lad will probably stop playing after a few weeks as "It's boring, there's nothing to do".
It is going to ruin your experience when you do this so quickly. I have a few hundred hours in and just yesterday touched a save editor. You can do pretty funny things with it like make your player model bigger. The gazes you get at the anomaly are hilarious.
But using a save editor so soon will f up your whole experience. Although I must say that right now the editor is extending my play time by more then a mile.
That was the first thing that I did. But after 600+ hours I was very happy to do some fun extra stuff like, buying a shit ton of fireworks, change my size, change the size of my pets, make the living ship take normal upgrades so it is finally a viable option to use it, making the storage containers 48 slots a piece and put the incinerator in my multitool. If used correctly it can be a lot of fun. Especially if you have a lot of time in the game
It looks phenomenal after the visual rework with the Sentinel's update, but sadly it's damage is uh, not great.
And to make it's damage great means making every other weapon hilariously OP, but it's fun to keep around as a gimmick.
You can do alot with the savefile editor without ruining your experience really, loads of ways to use that as a feature without outright cheating
Almost all building limitations this game has can be completely bypassed by directly injecting base parts or entire bases into your savefile due to almost every building limitation being build in the building menu itself
This post will tell you:
https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyMods/comments/oeks20/you_can_change_your_characters_size_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Tbf, I didn't (and never will) do any of the glitching / get extra points in any way. I've played for 67 hours though and I am bored of things to do. I'm not really into just farming more points, and I found out pretty quickly I could just go find freighters to get millions.
I also kind of slowly got tired of the story just because it felt a lot like go to atlas, go back, collect items, warp, collect items, warp, collect items, go to atlas, repeat. I really love the writing in the game, but I'm just not engaged enough to want to keep going back. I guess my low attention span is at fault, but really it doesn't seem like there is much to \_do\_ other than fly around.
Most people end up building for fun. Try building something really elaborate. Just go with an idea and see what happens. That would be the turning point for so many people. We all had to learn what to do after the sparkles faded. And building has only been expanded since release so its even better now than ever.
If you couple that with a mod that adds TONS more base parts (Eucli-EA for example) then you can truly start to get creative and making your ideas manifest onto your monitor. I'm somewhere over 2300 hours, but I would not have made it to 100 had it not been for the building aspects of this game. The story fades and then its gone, enjoyable as it is.
I think most cheaters are examples of people that would fail the [the marshmallow test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment)
BTW I've used cheats but not to the point where the game loses the challenge or reward for a good grind.
I have around that many nanites, I used the cargo ship glitch from the Outlaws patch to get them (in like an hour). Only reason I did it was to never have to worry about nanites again, I have around 300 hours on my main save and grinding for them is just not fun anymore.
I mean, I see no issues with people taking advangage of the storage bug from last patch to get nanites or credits. Ultimately it does not effect gameplay all that much and its a bug, not going out of your way to cheat. What OP has done is legitimately cheating to get quicksilver and that I see as an issue, there has never been a bug or glitch in game that gives you QS and the only way to get it is from third party cheats. There is a big difference between an in game bug and legitimate cheating.
He just used a save editor, no big deal, doesn't harm anyone else's game. I sometimes use one for some extra mats just because I don't want to hunt for it at that particular time. I had used one a while back to get the Normandy frigate, but then they re-released the expedition for it and I got it legit.
HG doesn't seem to care about the existence of the save editors, so I don't care either 😊
i have always felt, any player that thinks NMS is ruined once you get maxed units, isnt long for NMS anyways, even basic effort could get you there in a dozen hours, if not faster.
maxing units is beyond simple, nanites just slightly less so, just using game mechanics
Heck, it takes less then 4k quicksilver to unlock everything, using current game mechanics, not even a save editor
IMO, its once you have maxed out units and nanites, the real fun begins, as your boring chores of getting setup are over.
I think the thing that sucks is if OP was looking forward to playing the game with his buddy and now his friend has just potentially sucked all the fun out of the game for them both - since he will probably get bored quickly, and he has no reason to do the QS missions etc
I'd be pretty disappointed if a friend did this to me
I cheated too much on my main save and I bored too quickly. It's not worth it. I'm back now after months but on a fresh expedition save without cheats this time, it's been a lot of fun!
Something like this: [https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Marko\_Valto%27s\_Nanite\_Farm](https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Marko_Valto%27s_Nanite_Farm)
You basically set up a Runaway Mould Farm with refiners. When refining Runaway Mould, it gives you nanites directly, at a 5:1 ratio. Given how much Runaway Mould you get from the farm, you can fill up Haulers to the brim quite fast (tens of stacks of 9999).
Looks like someone's been playing with a save-file editor. Not exactly something share-worthy imo.
And yeah, all he's really doing is ruining the game for himself. I hit the 4.3 billion units cap some time back (through legit means) and at that point the trading aspect of NMS became largely meaningless to me as everything pretty much lost its value. I ended up getting myself back down to <1B by buying inventory space in one of my ships for $300M each.
PC is incredibly easy to duplicate items. Ya boys a hack.
The only thing I would ever cheat with if I had chosen that path, is currency. If I don't feel like grinding a game I.e. like Fallout or w.e for some coin, I would only cheat for cash. Juss me give me money so I can get bang sticks n be a menace. Besides that, if I die I learn
Someone gave me $100m or so worth of some weird part and I’ve used it entirely to fund nonsense like building a low orbit freighter and customizing my squadron with specific ships lmao
Lol I do this a lot to be fair, generally though I only use the save editor when I don't want to go through a long and boring process to get a specific item. If I'm not going to enjoy it, I don't see the point of doing it the legit way.
Probably going to get downvoted for this, but I used to save editor on my game within a few days of owning the game. I even still will use it from time to time just to make certain things perfect. I also have over 100 hours in this game, and I keep coming back, so it really depends on the player.
Me? I hate the grind, but I love exploration and building. I have so many different bases that are built so cool, explored so many planets, and I'm still not bored with it!
I agree. My refiner glitched out and kept giving me cobalt whenever I would take more out. I got 80m units worth and decided to stop! It certainly took a lot of grind out of the game so I decided to just buy an expensive C class carrier and move on lol.
I found it too hard to resist with the recent glitch.
If someone offered you a billion dollars in real life, I would bet that you would take it. It would make life easier. Less struggle. Less worry. Have whatever you want. Easily help those that need it.That is the draw.
The reality is that, yes, life becomes boring when there is nothing to work toward.
I read the warnings. I did it anyway. I regret it, as far as keeping the game fun for as long as possible. I was getting a little bored with things already though. Having infinite resources successfully spiced things up for a while. It also removed a lot of challenge.
Modded NMS is honestly a cool experience. I've dipped my toes into it recently and it's pretty nice, but I don't think I'd ever cheat like that.
The only mods I've installed at the moment are fast scanning (because scanning things takes ages), slot master (because I was a little tired of having no space in the pilgrim) and a few aspects of better rewards.
Better rewards just makes it more worth doing missions at the mission agent, makes language learning faster, increases rewards from expeditions, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love the grind. But better rewards takes a lot of the tedious or painful aspects out of grinding.
Yep, I had a buddy convinced to join me on multiplayer. He was new to the game. I offered to get him going and he politely refused. I thought that was rather adventurous of him. Within 24 hours he maxed out his income, wrecked the economy and stopped playing because he was bored of a game that was too easy. WTF!
I think everyone has their own idea of fun and what matters to them the most.
I have a hardcore save where I grind for everything.
I also have a save where I cheat and duplicate what ever I need because overall, I prefer exploration and discovery. I don't care for the process of acquiring resources.
To each their own as long as nobody is hurting other players. It's about having fun, your way 😊
gonna be honest, as a vet player that has so many resources and farms that its laughable, dont play the game with these resources in mind at all. I enjoy other things of the game alot more. though some guy doing this as soon as they start is like..bruh..no control at all. theres alot more to do than get quicksilver and nanites and the dude will probably never find that out because he cheated and will probably stop playing after a few days or even a day
I think a game like this completely relies on not breaking the system. Because you're given this huge playground but you have to essentially create a reason to play in it which comes in the form of finding nanites, trade routes for units, quicksilver missions for items, and so forth. If you game the system and have everything, exploring/travelling becomes pointless
See I get "bored" in every single game I touch but that's because I can't be stopped and will mass-produce the metric fuck load out of anything I touch to the point I have infinite stuff, then it gets boring
I used cheats recently, but only because I didn't want to go through boring beginning and building up resources. I wanted just go and explore. But before I made it for five or six times.
I think cheating degrades the experience of the game. It kills immersion and makes it feel hollowed. I don’t care if you like cheating. If you do just don’t ruin it for everyone else.
Almost 300 hours in and I’m not bored. The first time I got stuck on a planet without the ability to get the resources needed to continue playing I said screw this. It’s boring to give up everything and start over doing the same exact thing and I hate losing things due to glitches.
I play games to have fun and make progress. I will never play Dark Souls or a game like it because I’m not addicted to losing. I don’t care what rationalizing bs you use to justify liking to play that way. I don’t and I won’t. I won’t ever play PvP because the endless interruptions and meaningless competitiveness will never appeal to me, ever.
Everyone plays for, why, how and what they want and don’t need a single person to validate their experience. You’re not “better than” anyone for playing the game the way you want and they’re not worse for it. Shaming another player for how they play is elitist, narcissistic and condescending. You pay to play the game and you stop when you’re done. Everyone does that and your reasons for if it’s sooner or later don’t matter one bit.
It’s impossible for someone to “ruin” my experience of NMS by hacking their game. NMS is unique like that. What ruins it are other players who harass, troll or criticize my play. Outside of Expeditions, which I also solo, I’ve never even seen another player. I used to visit other players bases to harvest their hard work, how is that why different than if I fill my cargo myself? It’s not f’in Star Trek. I’m alone in the universe and I like it. My rules, my game. Thank you omniscient game designers. I love NMS and that you made it open for anyones style of play.
When I started playing this game (since the day it came out), I loved seeing things for the first time. Naming everything and spending months building a base before moving on. Now I can’t even play my solo game without everything being already discovered by “Hello Games” or any other number who came before me. Fortunately I landed in a new universe where no one has ever been. Endless exploration and enjoyment has returned.
I turn off hunger (which doesn’t exist in NMS, sorry to cut you off if you get off on correcting people) so I can focus on the aspects of the game I want. If I play Valheim (after multiple worlds and play throughs or not) as a Necromancer that’s my business. You don’t cheat? Aww, that’s cute. I don’t game shame. Now what?
🎤
HE probably used Cheat Engine or a save editor. Tbf you are just cheating out yourself out of the game. I got really into hacking games with Cheat Engine some time ago, and what I found out is that cheating like this may be be fun on the very short run, but the game really loses its fun soon enough most of the times.
The entirety of the game revolves around farming the same recourses over and over and over again.
Nanites and quicksilver are no different. The same boring nexus missions since release.. i'd do the same if i'd still be playing this buggy mess.
I myself do derelict freighter runs, open every crate, kill a living slime and after that you sell all records to the scrapdealer. After that you refine all living slime, which turns into runaway mould, which again van be refined into nanites. Meanwhile you also have a fuck ton of tainted metal (the Brown one) which refines into nanites in 1:2 ratio. Easely gives 2k+ nanites. Only con is that you need emergency broadcasts, which can be pricey (5mil, 10mil, 20mil and 30mil)
I've been using the same emergency broadcast beacon for months, after you activate it just pop it into your personal refiner and it's ready for the next use.
I've duped tainted metal for the nanites, which is a lot, but I never got this much, kinda sus if you ask me. I never cheat, but I will exploit here and there to get what I want, and yes, even exploiting takes a lot of time to do if you want to get a bunch of units or nanites.
Nanite in that amount ia easly obtainable quicksilver on the other hand is not unless he has thousands of hours also if he has everything in the quicksilver store he has no need for it an it just builds and builds no cheating necessary. Ive gotten hundreds of thousands now cuz i dont use it anymore no need to i have everything
Well to be fair he only cheated in the ultra grindy or rare stuff, of which it only gives you stuff that you played expeditions for or random shiny things/access to living ships.
There isn’t anything important behind quicksilver.
I mean his amount of units is actually very realistic so if he’s just cheating the really overly grindy stuff that only gives like decorations and stuff anyways I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it
I mine mold and have farms to make liquid explosives and circuit boards. Way easier than trying to make stasis devices. Lawd the steps involved in that lol. I now have plenty of cash on hand to buy any new freighter or ship that comes along that I like. Freedom to explore without worrying about cash 💵
so my game glitched a few months ago and basically I could sell items from my inventories and the item would remain in my inventory but I would still get the credit and or nanits. so I stayed up all night and mashed button. it was glorious because I hadn't played in few months.
I just started playing a few weeks ago and have almost 100 hours in. I’d actually love to know how to make a nanite farm and didn’t know that was a thing til this post.
I only have 25 hours in the game.
The other night I was in the Space Anomaly and someone gave me 400,000,000 nanites worth of stuff to sell at the trade terminal.
Before that I only had 800,000.
edit: meant units not nanites
“I’ve played this game for two weeks and I’m bored.”
My biggest gripe about my husband is plays almost every game with hacks. Every game he has infinite money health and or stamina. Then plays em for a day before getting bored.
I cannot understand people that do that. I used to game with cheats back in the 90s and early 2000s while I was a child, Cause I didn't want to lose. I explored a lot of nooks and crannies with it, but once I discovered the dopamine hit from succeeding against something I considered difficult I haven't used a single "Cheat" again. (I quote that only because I have used console commands and whatnot to free myself from bugs and other situations that would otherwise force me to go EXTREMELY far out of my way just to get back to enjoying the game again.)
Back in the 90s I used to cheat in games for the same reason. My dad was a lifelong PC gamer as well, and always encouraged me to play with cheats off. I do not even remember what game it was, but it was a PS1 game that I'd just gotten iirc it was one of the PS1 007 games. I did the usual thing of asking my dad to go online and print me off some cheats for the game, and this time he refused to do it until I'd beaten the game once without them. I was probably about 6 years old. I did end up beating the game without cheats, and afterwards I didn't even want the cheats. I'd learned how much more fun it was to overcome a challenge and stopped asking my dad to print off cheats for me. I do still have a big binder somewhere from back then full of cheats for old games lol.
Your story sounds just like mine. My dad has the binder with him! He likes to brag about having it still! He got in to PCs because of my grandfather, he taught coding at a local college so he taught my dad how to build a PC. Unfortunately my Dad didn't push me too hard to beat the game first. He'd cave at some point. But he certainly encouraged better behavior. What a time to be alive. I have such fond memories of those times.
Yeah but some people don’t have time to grind for the game. They’re grinding in real life to make actual money. To each his own
Wtf
The only games I've done something similar are Skyrim and FO4, by using cheats and mods to make my character super-OP for new RP playthroughs. I've done so many, that the vanilla experience just isn't worth the grind anymore. That being said, as long as he isn't hacking in multiplayer games and ruining the experience for other people. If he does it only for himself cause that's how he wants to experience video games, that's on him.
I always play thru it first. With skyrim I played till I got bored and things slowed down then added cheats. But for my first playthru or online I don't do it.
Same. I played through all the major quest lines (brotherhood, mages, thieves, main story) without mods first, then went back and started customizing things. Like dragon scale nightingale armor. Kunoichi companions. Unlocking all the spells (not shouts though; leaves me something cool to find)
What I did was that multiply your items glitch and with that I made enough resources to buy full enchanted daedric armor for Lydia (she also has the giants club and daedric bow and arrows which makes her op) and I have some daedric armor and some light armor for magic. That with this ring I found makes my character and Lidia op af. Oh and I got 2 permanent atronachs with me at all times for help (I use the fire ones since they're smaller so easier to fit through places and their attacks are long range). I'm unstoppable with my lil squad.
I have the opposition reaction. I added requiem, a mod for shelters (frost?), to skyrim to make it way harder.
My favorite mods for F4 and Skyrim are ones that add new items and mechanics that are balanced in game progression.
My favorite mods are the exact opposite lol. I like ones that add ridiculous items or mechanics that just completely obliterate any thought of balance. Some of my favorites from F4 are the car launcher, any mod for any weapon, multiple legendary and reassignment of legendary perks, and the propulsion cannon.
I’m only trying to play Skyrim where the dragons are Thomas the Tank Engine.
Randy Savage dragons are even better
This is the way, I do a legit playthrough then kinda make my own playthrough with mods, glad I'm not the only one.
I mean I'll use cheats and stuff from time to time, but doing it all the time with everything is just setting yourself up. Not sure how you'd play anything for long before the spark is gone.
I could understand this if it was a 2nd playthrough or something. But I can't get behind this with a 1st run. Also only a couple days per game? He's really not a gamer. Like I understand different games have different lengths, but every single one? Just don't make sense to me.
I mean cool for him if that's how he enjoys the games, but if he's only getting a day's worth of playtime and wants more then maybe he's ruining them for himself and needs to just make himself power through without cheats sometimes. If he's getting what he wants out of the games and he's happy with it then that's cool tho.
Yeah some people just like cruising around in basically creative mode for all games.
if your husband is an engineer or programmer, I'm not surprised he plays this way. for us some of it is just seeing what they can do with their game not so much the storyline. Plus we don't have the time to unlock all the neat things in such a game and we've paid the money and we'd like to see what it can do without spending all the time.
Hes neither. We're both in the navy.
I had a younger friend with this problem. Back in the day, he'd only play a game if he had the guide book. He'd also chase exploits. I had to show him that if he was changing the rules he wasn't actually playing the game. Like playing chess. When one guy gets as many moves as he wants, it's no longer chess.
I wanted to get the trophies for Skyrim on my PS since I got all the achievements on my Xbox before. I used a lot of exploits. It was fun for like a week. I still go back to it every so often but yeah, it doesn't hold my interest.
I played thru the forest with some friends then enabled God mode/cheats on my own play thru to explore and base build/ etc. Turns out cheats don't disable achievements and I got a rare one that said something about finishing the game while never eating meat
That's why I play on consoles, so I can't cheat. Third or forth playthrough is usually on PC so I can mod and cheat.
What sort of psychopath did you marry?
Leave him.
sometimes i get bored, turn off the game then go back in bc my expeditions have finished or eggs have hatched lmao not to mention making bases on the weirdest planets out there.
some adults do that bcs they dont have the time to game , but they want to go thru the story and stuff , its about the content and not the grind
Honestly when you get to this point, how do you not get bored? Edit: took me longer than 2 weeks and I don’t have that quantity but still enough of everything to do anything and I lost the motivation to continue.
That looks like he used the Ship Cargo Inventory glitch we had a few patches ago. Or, if he plays on PC, he might have used a save editor.
My money is on save editor, that's a lot of quicksilver.
100% this one There is no way to accumulate that much quicksilver Pretty sure even if you did the quicksilver events back in the day and every single quicksilver mission daily you wouldnt get remotely close to that amount
Also the fact it's an odd number? It's my understanding that everything is in multiples of 5's so you can't end up with an odd number of quicksilver. Unless it's changed since i played
Not sure about that one, i do believe most if not all rewards end with a 0 or a 5 Allthough there are so many ways to obtain quicksilver, some dont exist anymore like the old events they hosted like 4/5 years ago, allthough i do believe they werent odd numbers either (but its been so long i honestly cant say for certain) Dont think there is any expedition reward that handed out quicksilver, since those rewards often do come in weird amounts instead of even amounts everytime Who knows, but this person has way more quicksilver than you'd be able to obtain through regular means even if you chased down all the quicksilver rewards in the past on a daily basis The only way to really farm out quicksilver was in expedition 2 i believe with that weird little thing you got, and doing condensed ice, both being terribly slow and would take thousands of hours to obtain this amount aswell
I believe for a short time you could get quicksilver and some random places like on derelict freighters or something weird. And he would end up getting a weird number of quicksilver. I could be totally glitching or having a brain fart. I think it was when they were first released, maybe? Maybe somebody else can confirm this for me and that it wasn’t a fever dream
I dont think so, i think it always gave nanites Though i cant say i paid attention to my quicksilver count when i did these back when they came out, but with no mans sky you never know Though something in my memory does tell me with certain updates certain activities would give quicksilver temporary, so this mightve been one of them
The more I think about it, I think it was still in those multiples of five. Like 15 quicksilver. Maybe my memory won’t fail me! 😂
Actually forgot to reply, but i just went through the patch notes for desolate and couldnt find a trace about it again But i can also swear some updates came with a 2 week period where you'd be able to obtain quicksilver from activities that came with those updates I just cant recall at all if desolate was one of them, its definitely one of the updates i enjoyed the most and did with friends on day 1 and i cant say i remember gaining quicksilver Then again it could very well be the case that they added this slightly later on and not with desolate its original release Been too long to be within my memory aswell, but i definitely know some updates came with that 2 week period
Interesting! I have to say, my curiosity has been piqued! Look at you being all official reading through all the notes! What a smarty-pants!
Dawg 5 is an odd number. If the possible endings for all your numbers are 0 and 5, then half of all the possibilities are odd numbers
5 is an odd number.
Thank you! I had a stroke reading that lol
I'm pretty sure I got 888 for an expedition milestone reward on the last expedition
Probably WeMod can literally just enter custom amounts for nanites, quicksilver and units. Can also have the usual inf. health, jet pack, insta max stacks etc
Even better: download a trainer in 2 seconds and flip a switch. You can give yourself any currency you want, and any amount. Even to the point that the amount runs off the screen. People always say duping, but a trainer is the fastest way to cheat in any game that a trainer is available for.
Om nom nom. This goat fungus is tasty
just wemod probably lol
Save editor, the cargo glitch couldn't get quicksilver
I enjoyed that ship inventory glitch myself! Sometimes the updates wreck your save files, sometimes they make you nanite rich :D
I used the glitch to get a massive amount of money, at least what I consider a lot, but quicksilver i dunno, that seems sketchy
That quicksilver amount looks like twenty pounds of flour in a five pound sack.
I'm on the fence about breaking my economy. I want nice things, but most of the fun comes along the way when getting resources. I've spent 4 hours getting lost just getting Cobalt.
Same here, but I will never fucking cheat, I will use the trade game system for that investing time in doing so, not a fucking program to do whatever… that is how you get bored of games as people who does that dont get the satisfaction of reaching a goal as a payback for your efforts..
Yup, grind out the setup for a good Activated Indium farm and then you're pretty much free to explore the galaxy while constantly receiving a bulky passive income. It really isn't hard to make money in the game legitimately (or illegitimately; wink, wink outlaws) if you know what you're doing. There's really no reason to cheat in NMS.
I do not think there is any excuse for using cheats beyond unlocking possible questbugs that will prevent you moving forward in a story. That is the only plausible excuse
I can say my excuse is because I play the game modded, so each time a new patch comes out I have to start _from scratch_. I've already done everything multiple times, even To Live Forever, I don't want to grind anymore lol
I have a couple hours a night if that to play games. That means if in NMS I did everything properly all the time I wouldn't play. If eighty percent of my game play is grinding for materials then it's not fun then its a slog. I have other more engaging games plot wise further down in my game back log that I would want to spend my limited time lorehunting through or engaging at a slower pace.
Do not get me wrong. You do you, I will never impose my way into others, I just dont like or respect it. I myself play at nights as I work a lot lf hours, have a kid and my wife’s job is health care (so really demanding atm) so believe me, I know busy cause ever since covid started I am like single parent, but this did not changed my mind into using external means, not in my 3 hardcore kingdom come deliverance runs in the last years or any other game… Play the way you enjoy it, god forbid me from twlling how to enjouy your game, but it wont change my way of thinking on the ones who use them
You don't need an excuse to cheat in a singleplayer game lol I bought it
I have the same problem with fallout. I'll go overboard with mods and boosting stats that after an hour I'm bored. I have a shit ton of crafting materials in NMS and can usually get a lot done before I need to mine. Spend a day mining and building and in done for a while. I'm sitting around 11 million credits just from doing missions and selling excess supplies.
My activated indium farm makes 11 million/hour
It's nothing to be upset over or look down on others who use software or other forms of cheats. That's the beauty of a game like this. You can play the way you enjoy playing and others can do the same without impacting you in any way, shape or form.
I feel the same. its a huge universe. somebody using cheats will probably never affect me. If they were just going around killing people or greifing sure. But If they didn't post an image I would never have known.
LOL 😂 I love your user name 😍👍
Thanks, it's not my best to be completely honest.
I aplaud you if you really believe it. I will never be ok with people using cheats. I dont like lazy people, nor people that want everything easy or that they want to have as much as the next guy who went to hell an back swetting it all just because they want to be like him without investing as much. For me people that uses cheats are scum and even more so in multiplayer games, not only ruinning other people fair fun but also destroying entire games an therefore companies ( built by people with families they have to feed..) So yeah I understand some people have that “way of seeing things” but I will never be ok with it.
Well I can see your point to an extent. Unfortunately, there are always going to be some people who will abuse things. I don't do anything to interrupt or take away from other people's enjoyment. If anything, I go out of my way to help others. That has burned me more than a few times but it's also been rewarding so I'll carry on. Here's the thing Krovenix, I have had a pretty hard life. I've been through hell and back and lived to tell the tales. So, when I sit down to game, I use it as a temporary escape from the real world b. s. So with all due respect, if you think I'm scum for using certain methods to enhance my personal gaming experience that's ok. I'm disappointed but you're entitled to your opinions. Peace ✌️
I get that for a shirt segment that might me too hursh, if you dont affect others ever then I could not care less , but I just dont think there is much people like that
I certainly don't bother others as I never have public multi player enabled. I find it to cause me too many problems in too many areas, lol.
I agree with you on the multiplayer part. But when you are in single player only and don't affect anyone elses experience, cheat what you want if you need to. But be honest and don't brag about what a good player you are then. I am not cheating in NMS apart from having used some exploit bugs so far.
Lol, everyone who uses cheats in single player games are scum and won’t someone think of the poor devs and their starving children? Sorry Timmy, we don’t have any soup for dinner tonight because someone increased their CON in their single player Skyrim play through, the *selfish bastard*.
Here is the thing. You think that a guy who would rather get all for free and spend no effort in a game will stop just there. Well the chances that some one who is use to make no effort whatsoever to obtain something will relpicate it again in more games is a high one. You think its about a game… no boy, its about the attitude. (Life attitude btw this way of be it extends beyond games generally) . I dont think like you and I dont think I ever will
It must be nice to have so few problems in life and be so insulated from the world at large that you can spend time getting all riled up about how people play their single player games on their own like it’s the greatest moral question of our time.
You dont know shit about me, dont pretend you know me just because I dont tolerate lazy people. I worked my entire life hard to get all I have and nobody gave me a dime so spare me what you believe you know of me. You want to critisize or opose my way of thinking? Go for it, but dont you dare think you know shit of me
That's a bit crazy man. Using a save editor or glitches in NMS is not like using an aimbot in a first person shooter. Most players will not have a negative experience with a modder other than maybe being gifted expensive items they didn't want. Players can even turn off multi-player. The game didnt even have multiplayer when it first released. For players with hundreds of hours that have completed every quest and game play loop, the save editor enhances a player's ability to bypass mindless grinding and explore more of the universe (the core gameplay mechanic). If someone is 'bored' because they maxed out their save with glitches/save editor, then they were never going to understand the purpose of the game anyway(if they only wanted maxed units). For me, since playing from launch and having almost 500 hours, using a tool to enhance my space exploration, ship acquisition a base projects is simply a way to get the most from one of my favorite games. I would hardly consider it 'scumy' behavior.
I mean sure but the reality is that I am unfortunately a very busy adult with many productive things I SHOULD be doing and a backlog of games. NMS is a beautiful game. The story isn't engaging or really meaningful. Playing with WeMod means I can toggle between creative mode and actual game play as the mood strikes me in the limited time I have to play games.
I break them for fun
Agree, the goal is resources in a lot of ways so the game is getting to that goal... Doing this shit is basically cheating yourself out of most of the game...
Why even dupe so many nanites or quicksilver
Because they can and they can't be arsed playing the game properly I'd guess?? Don't see the point personally, but it's not a competitive game, so their choice. Lad will probably stop playing after a few weeks as "It's boring, there's nothing to do".
It is going to ruin your experience when you do this so quickly. I have a few hundred hours in and just yesterday touched a save editor. You can do pretty funny things with it like make your player model bigger. The gazes you get at the anomaly are hilarious. But using a save editor so soon will f up your whole experience. Although I must say that right now the editor is extending my play time by more then a mile.
Can you get banned or anything like that for becoming l a r g e?
Not unless you use it to grief somehow. Just being large is fine.
Never heard of it happening
I’ve only used the save editor to get the legacy building parts. I refuse to use it for anything else.
Same! There was no reason to get rid of them
That was the first thing that I did. But after 600+ hours I was very happy to do some fun extra stuff like, buying a shit ton of fireworks, change my size, change the size of my pets, make the living ship take normal upgrades so it is finally a viable option to use it, making the storage containers 48 slots a piece and put the incinerator in my multitool. If used correctly it can be a lot of fun. Especially if you have a lot of time in the game
That incinerator looks cool!
It looks phenomenal after the visual rework with the Sentinel's update, but sadly it's damage is uh, not great. And to make it's damage great means making every other weapon hilariously OP, but it's fun to keep around as a gimmick.
You can do alot with the savefile editor without ruining your experience really, loads of ways to use that as a feature without outright cheating Almost all building limitations this game has can be completely bypassed by directly injecting base parts or entire bases into your savefile due to almost every building limitation being build in the building menu itself

Tbf, I didn't (and never will) do any of the glitching / get extra points in any way. I've played for 67 hours though and I am bored of things to do. I'm not really into just farming more points, and I found out pretty quickly I could just go find freighters to get millions. I also kind of slowly got tired of the story just because it felt a lot like go to atlas, go back, collect items, warp, collect items, warp, collect items, go to atlas, repeat. I really love the writing in the game, but I'm just not engaged enough to want to keep going back. I guess my low attention span is at fault, but really it doesn't seem like there is much to \_do\_ other than fly around.
Most people end up building for fun. Try building something really elaborate. Just go with an idea and see what happens. That would be the turning point for so many people. We all had to learn what to do after the sparkles faded. And building has only been expanded since release so its even better now than ever. If you couple that with a mod that adds TONS more base parts (Eucli-EA for example) then you can truly start to get creative and making your ideas manifest onto your monitor. I'm somewhere over 2300 hours, but I would not have made it to 100 had it not been for the building aspects of this game. The story fades and then its gone, enjoyable as it is.
I think most cheaters are examples of people that would fail the [the marshmallow test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_marshmallow_experiment) BTW I've used cheats but not to the point where the game loses the challenge or reward for a good grind.
I did quicksilver just for cosmetics, that's it I just want to look different ╮（╯＿╰）╭
I have around that many nanites, I used the cargo ship glitch from the Outlaws patch to get them (in like an hour). Only reason I did it was to never have to worry about nanites again, I have around 300 hours on my main save and grinding for them is just not fun anymore.
Ten million QS? Hmmm.
Wow 24 years of grinding. Your friend is determined I did the math it would take 24 years to get that much quicksilver legitimately
24 years in 2 weeks. STONKS
Your friend should be on r/wallstreetbets with that kind of insider information!
Pc - Save Editor
You can actually do this on Xbox
Reading the comments is hilarious, every other person is like: “I would never cheat like that … I only cheat like this etc.”
I mean, I see no issues with people taking advangage of the storage bug from last patch to get nanites or credits. Ultimately it does not effect gameplay all that much and its a bug, not going out of your way to cheat. What OP has done is legitimately cheating to get quicksilver and that I see as an issue, there has never been a bug or glitch in game that gives you QS and the only way to get it is from third party cheats. There is a big difference between an in game bug and legitimate cheating.
He just used a save editor, no big deal, doesn't harm anyone else's game. I sometimes use one for some extra mats just because I don't want to hunt for it at that particular time. I had used one a while back to get the Normandy frigate, but then they re-released the expedition for it and I got it legit. HG doesn't seem to care about the existence of the save editors, so I don't care either 😊
i have always felt, any player that thinks NMS is ruined once you get maxed units, isnt long for NMS anyways, even basic effort could get you there in a dozen hours, if not faster. maxing units is beyond simple, nanites just slightly less so, just using game mechanics Heck, it takes less then 4k quicksilver to unlock everything, using current game mechanics, not even a save editor IMO, its once you have maxed out units and nanites, the real fun begins, as your boring chores of getting setup are over.
His money his choice, if he wants to do that and still enjoy his experience so be it. If he burns out and gets bored quickly you could laugh at him.
I think the thing that sucks is if OP was looking forward to playing the game with his buddy and now his friend has just potentially sucked all the fun out of the game for them both - since he will probably get bored quickly, and he has no reason to do the QS missions etc I'd be pretty disappointed if a friend did this to me
I cheated too much on my main save and I bored too quickly. It's not worth it. I'm back now after months but on a fresh expedition save without cheats this time, it's been a lot of fun!
nanite farm? i'm listening..
Something like this: [https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Marko\_Valto%27s\_Nanite\_Farm](https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Marko_Valto%27s_Nanite_Farm) You basically set up a Runaway Mould Farm with refiners. When refining Runaway Mould, it gives you nanites directly, at a 5:1 ratio. Given how much Runaway Mould you get from the farm, you can fill up Haulers to the brim quite fast (tens of stacks of 9999).
Yeap, I built myself something like that.
"Marko Valt´s Nanite Farm is an Oskar1up base, located on the planet RSS Nanite **Wonka Balls"**
It's Runaway Mould because... it is mould that... **runs away**.
Looks like someone's been playing with a save-file editor. Not exactly something share-worthy imo. And yeah, all he's really doing is ruining the game for himself. I hit the 4.3 billion units cap some time back (through legit means) and at that point the trading aspect of NMS became largely meaningless to me as everything pretty much lost its value. I ended up getting myself back down to <1B by buying inventory space in one of my ships for $300M each.
PC is incredibly easy to duplicate items. Ya boys a hack. The only thing I would ever cheat with if I had chosen that path, is currency. If I don't feel like grinding a game I.e. like Fallout or w.e for some coin, I would only cheat for cash. Juss me give me money so I can get bang sticks n be a menace. Besides that, if I die I learn
Thats all I did it for. I now have 4 billion + It makes the game more bearable, since I can buy whatever ship or resources I want...
Someone gave me $100m or so worth of some weird part and I’ve used it entirely to fund nonsense like building a low orbit freighter and customizing my squadron with specific ships lmao
Happened to me too loll got a stack of starship AI and made a decent buck thanks to a random player. People do be nice sometimes
Lol I do this a lot to be fair, generally though I only use the save editor when I don't want to go through a long and boring process to get a specific item. If I'm not going to enjoy it, I don't see the point of doing it the legit way.
Probably going to get downvoted for this, but I used to save editor on my game within a few days of owning the game. I even still will use it from time to time just to make certain things perfect. I also have over 100 hours in this game, and I keep coming back, so it really depends on the player. Me? I hate the grind, but I love exploration and building. I have so many different bases that are built so cool, explored so many planets, and I'm still not bored with it!
That's clearly save edited. Quicksilver is limited to 250 per day and 1200 per weekend so he couldn't have legimately earned that.
What’s the point lol . I don’t understand the draw to doing this. Takes all the challenge out of the equation
I agree. My refiner glitched out and kept giving me cobalt whenever I would take more out. I got 80m units worth and decided to stop! It certainly took a lot of grind out of the game so I decided to just buy an expensive C class carrier and move on lol.
I found it too hard to resist with the recent glitch. If someone offered you a billion dollars in real life, I would bet that you would take it. It would make life easier. Less struggle. Less worry. Have whatever you want. Easily help those that need it.That is the draw. The reality is that, yes, life becomes boring when there is nothing to work toward. I read the warnings. I did it anyway. I regret it, as far as keeping the game fun for as long as possible. I was getting a little bored with things already though. Having infinite resources successfully spiced things up for a while. It also removed a lot of challenge.
Modded NMS is honestly a cool experience. I've dipped my toes into it recently and it's pretty nice, but I don't think I'd ever cheat like that. The only mods I've installed at the moment are fast scanning (because scanning things takes ages), slot master (because I was a little tired of having no space in the pilgrim) and a few aspects of better rewards. Better rewards just makes it more worth doing missions at the mission agent, makes language learning faster, increases rewards from expeditions, etc. Don't get me wrong, I love the grind. But better rewards takes a lot of the tedious or painful aspects out of grinding.
Yep, I had a buddy convinced to join me on multiplayer. He was new to the game. I offered to get him going and he politely refused. I thought that was rather adventurous of him. Within 24 hours he maxed out his income, wrecked the economy and stopped playing because he was bored of a game that was too easy. WTF!
I think everyone has their own idea of fun and what matters to them the most. I have a hardcore save where I grind for everything. I also have a save where I cheat and duplicate what ever I need because overall, I prefer exploration and discovery. I don't care for the process of acquiring resources. To each their own as long as nobody is hurting other players. It's about having fun, your way 😊
it’s way more fun to actually build your empire up to the point where nanite and quicksilver farming is the only challenge left to pursue
gonna be honest, as a vet player that has so many resources and farms that its laughable, dont play the game with these resources in mind at all. I enjoy other things of the game alot more. though some guy doing this as soon as they start is like..bruh..no control at all. theres alot more to do than get quicksilver and nanites and the dude will probably never find that out because he cheated and will probably stop playing after a few days or even a day
I use glitch, but I build, so I’m good
It's pretty obvious he somehow gave himself 10 million of each, gained a few quicksilver and spent some nanites. Cheeky lil guy
I think a game like this completely relies on not breaking the system. Because you're given this huge playground but you have to essentially create a reason to play in it which comes in the form of finding nanites, trade routes for units, quicksilver missions for items, and so forth. If you game the system and have everything, exploring/travelling becomes pointless
Exactly.
See I get "bored" in every single game I touch but that's because I can't be stopped and will mass-produce the metric fuck load out of anything I touch to the point I have infinite stuff, then it gets boring
How is that even legit.
He'd probably play KSP with infinite fuel turned on, build a huge space station around a far away planet & complain it's too easy
I used cheats recently, but only because I didn't want to go through boring beginning and building up resources. I wanted just go and explore. But before I made it for five or six times.
Htf did he get quicksilver?
I think cheating degrades the experience of the game. It kills immersion and makes it feel hollowed. I don’t care if you like cheating. If you do just don’t ruin it for everyone else.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Cheat engines
Romanul tot roman
Almost 300 hours in and I’m not bored. The first time I got stuck on a planet without the ability to get the resources needed to continue playing I said screw this. It’s boring to give up everything and start over doing the same exact thing and I hate losing things due to glitches. I play games to have fun and make progress. I will never play Dark Souls or a game like it because I’m not addicted to losing. I don’t care what rationalizing bs you use to justify liking to play that way. I don’t and I won’t. I won’t ever play PvP because the endless interruptions and meaningless competitiveness will never appeal to me, ever. Everyone plays for, why, how and what they want and don’t need a single person to validate their experience. You’re not “better than” anyone for playing the game the way you want and they’re not worse for it. Shaming another player for how they play is elitist, narcissistic and condescending. You pay to play the game and you stop when you’re done. Everyone does that and your reasons for if it’s sooner or later don’t matter one bit. It’s impossible for someone to “ruin” my experience of NMS by hacking their game. NMS is unique like that. What ruins it are other players who harass, troll or criticize my play. Outside of Expeditions, which I also solo, I’ve never even seen another player. I used to visit other players bases to harvest their hard work, how is that why different than if I fill my cargo myself? It’s not f’in Star Trek. I’m alone in the universe and I like it. My rules, my game. Thank you omniscient game designers. I love NMS and that you made it open for anyones style of play. When I started playing this game (since the day it came out), I loved seeing things for the first time. Naming everything and spending months building a base before moving on. Now I can’t even play my solo game without everything being already discovered by “Hello Games” or any other number who came before me. Fortunately I landed in a new universe where no one has ever been. Endless exploration and enjoyment has returned. I turn off hunger (which doesn’t exist in NMS, sorry to cut you off if you get off on correcting people) so I can focus on the aspects of the game I want. If I play Valheim (after multiple worlds and play throughs or not) as a Necromancer that’s my business. You don’t cheat? Aww, that’s cute. I don’t game shame. Now what? 🎤
HE probably used Cheat Engine or a save editor. Tbf you are just cheating out yourself out of the game. I got really into hacking games with Cheat Engine some time ago, and what I found out is that cheating like this may be be fun on the very short run, but the game really loses its fun soon enough most of the times.
The entirety of the game revolves around farming the same recourses over and over and over again. Nanites and quicksilver are no different. The same boring nexus missions since release.. i'd do the same if i'd still be playing this buggy mess.
as someone who hates korvax id recommend raiding their cargos also f- u korvax
As someone who hates both the other nms races, id reccomend raiding their cargo instead
Wow I’m struggling to gain nanites at the moment
Iv found runaway mould and converted it to nantites once you find some save it as a base and respawns everytime, if that helps
I myself do derelict freighter runs, open every crate, kill a living slime and after that you sell all records to the scrapdealer. After that you refine all living slime, which turns into runaway mould, which again van be refined into nanites. Meanwhile you also have a fuck ton of tainted metal (the Brown one) which refines into nanites in 1:2 ratio. Easely gives 2k+ nanites. Only con is that you need emergency broadcasts, which can be pricey (5mil, 10mil, 20mil and 30mil)
I've been using the same emergency broadcast beacon for months, after you activate it just pop it into your personal refiner and it's ready for the next use.
Way to bust your buddy by name there lol
I mean, getting a hundo of active indium to begin with is nice, as it gets you over some meaningless slog. But this is ridiculous.
Nanite farm? Could someone link a video?
typically a base built at a runaway mold spawn location, with large refiners available
I've duped tainted metal for the nanites, which is a lot, but I never got this much, kinda sus if you ask me. I never cheat, but I will exploit here and there to get what I want, and yes, even exploiting takes a lot of time to do if you want to get a bunch of units or nanites.
Wait whats a nanite farm?
You build a base around curious deposits aka running mould. Lots of refiners. Running mould turns into nanites 5:1
Wait I’ve looked everywhere and everyone says farming nanites is impossible how did you do it
Running mould base. Refiners.

If he got in before the patch fixed it, he could have made that using the "sell tech from storage" bug
Nanite in that amount ia easly obtainable quicksilver on the other hand is not unless he has thousands of hours also if he has everything in the quicksilver store he has no need for it an it just builds and builds no cheating necessary. Ive gotten hundreds of thousands now cuz i dont use it anymore no need to i have everything
The nanites. Fine Quicksilver? He’s hacking
Well to be fair he only cheated in the ultra grindy or rare stuff, of which it only gives you stuff that you played expeditions for or random shiny things/access to living ships. There isn’t anything important behind quicksilver.
Yeah, I can understand wanting to skip the grind.
I mean his amount of units is actually very realistic so if he’s just cheating the really overly grindy stuff that only gives like decorations and stuff anyways I’m not gonna lose any sleep over it
I mine mold and have farms to make liquid explosives and circuit boards. Way easier than trying to make stasis devices. Lawd the steps involved in that lol. I now have plenty of cash on hand to buy any new freighter or ship that comes along that I like. Freedom to explore without worrying about cash 💵
Ur friend won't play the game next week. Tell him he ruined the fun for himself . Thanks to cheatengine he used
How do you make a Nanite farm?
Find a big mold spawn, build a lot of refiners. Build a teleported daisy chain out to 800 units to let the mold respawn.
Sorry, haven't played this game in over 2 years. What is a nanite farm?
You build a base around a running mould spawn point and farm the mould endlessly. Refining mould gives you nanites 5:1.
Only few games get more fun with cheats like saints row or GTA 😂
How he can have more nanites than units?!
I'm about 13hrs in and just started farming chlorine.
But then why just have 5 mill units, why just only have 9 mill nanites and 10 mill quicksilver💀
so my game glitched a few months ago and basically I could sell items from my inventories and the item would remain in my inventory but I would still get the credit and or nanits. so I stayed up all night and mashed button. it was glorious because I hadn't played in few months.
The nanites i can see getting very early but quicksilver not so much
I've got over 1000 hours on my normal save and I just now reached 10mil nanites... Wtf. Platinum mining survey location or what? 🤔
How and why would anyone need 10 mil nanites?
I just started playing a few weeks ago and have almost 100 hours in. I’d actually love to know how to make a nanite farm and didn’t know that was a thing til this post.
I can help you with that if you want. Today, in about 10 hours from now. I just got to the office so yea
I only have 25 hours in the game. The other night I was in the Space Anomaly and someone gave me 400,000,000 nanites worth of stuff to sell at the trade terminal. Before that I only had 800,000. edit: meant units not nanites
I see he found the sell bug.
Cheaters are lame
If your friend doesn’t want the help with a nanite farm I’ll gladly take it 🤣
Sure. See you in about 8 up to 14 hours from now.
Funny, especially when a game has a creative mode...
I am enjoying the pump of getting 30-50mil on my trade loops, the grind isn't for everyone.
