No Man's Sky Restless Sleep

The latest update for No Homo's Sky, called Adjacent, piles on the new features. It also lays the background for what Hello Games promises will exist its commencement season of new, gratis content. If you want to participate, you'll more than likely need to be highly mobile. No amount of scrounging for di-hydrogen is going to get y'all where you demand to become apace enough to have whatsoever fun.

This guide will get you upward to speed on the game's fast-travel network, including how to notice and use portals.

Brusque- versus long-distance travel

Much of the early game in No Homo's Sky revolves around gathering plenty fuel to move from one star system to the next. In fact, the updated in-game tutorials and single-player campaign practice an excellent job of explaining what resource you need to detect and how to use them.

As yous move from arrangement to arrangement, you lot'll notice that each one has its own space station. Inside every space station is a teleporter that volition connect you with every other space station that you've visited. Traveling between teleporters is completely free, and you'll find that your starship is docked and waiting for you when you make it likewise. You can fifty-fifty build a Base of operations Teleport Module nearly your ain base to link that into the network as well.

Merely the infinite stations themselves, forth with whatsoever bases that you've connected, form a small, personal network only y'all can use. It's easy to go back and retrace your steps, but these teleporters aren't going to get you anywhere new.

To become further, you'll showtime need to find a portal.

Flying of the navigator

Every planet in No Homo's Sky is supposed to have a portal, but searching for them by hand is a fool's errand. Planets themselves are physically massive, and even skimming low and fast over the surface in your starship, portals tin can exist laughably easy to miss.

To find ane reliably, you'll need to first locate a monolith. If yous've played the game for a few hours, you lot've likely come up across a few already. They're dark, vertical towers with a few Noesis Stones scattered around. If you haven't institute any, or yous're just not interested in backtracking, here'southward how to find one in a bustle.

No Man's Sky monolith sequence — Once you code in the coordinates for a planet institute on the Galactic Atlas, you tin simply walk through the portal and be teleported there.

How to discover a monolith

To notice a monolith, first you lot'll need to assemble a special in-game item called Navigation Data. Every bit far as we know, it'southward not possible to manufacture Navigation Data, but there are a few ways to locate them in the wild.

If you're lucky, you'll stumble across some on the open market, either at a edifice on the surface of a planet, from another airplane pilot, or for sale by a vendor on a space station. Otherwise, you can discover them hidden inside the orangish cubes that you lot may find floating inside the space station anteroom areas.

Navigation Data tin as well be found on the surface of planets. Pull up your visor and look for a yellowish diamond marked as an Ancient Data Construction. Sidle on over, and you lot tin can pluck the items right off the ground.

Once you have that data in mitt, you'll need to build a Signal Booster from your inventory. Utilize the Navigation Data and choose to "locate nearby structure," and then "browse for artifacts." After a few tries, you should come up with the location of a monolith on your planet.

Finding a portal

Once at a monolith, you'll need to collaborate with it and have the correct items in your inventory.

Depending on the dominant species in your part of the milky way, that could be either a Vy'keen Dagger, a Korvax Casing or a Gek Relic. Yous'll normally come beyond these items as rewards from successful conversations with NPCs or for sale on the open market, equally above. We've also received them every bit plunder from sending our frigates out on missions.

With the correct particular in your inventory, select "locate portal," and it will prove up on your map.

No Man's Sky portal glyphs — To power up a portal, y'all'll need a minor amount of easy-to-detect resources. Once each glyph is activated, you'll be able to output the 16-glyph code that is your planet'south address in the *No Man's Sky* galaxy.

Portals and the Galactic Atlas

In one case y'all walk up on the portal, a dais will snap out of the footing. On that dais volition be xvi different runes, each of which yous'll need to activate by charging it with resources. Those resources should be fairly common. We were able to charge our first portal with only the salt, carbon, cobalt and chromatic metals that we had on mitt. Otherwise, it's null yous shouldn't be able to handle with a trivial bit of foraging.

Once you ability up the portal, you tin use it to find your own location in the galaxy. That location will exist represented by a combination of those sixteen glyphs. One time it pops upward on screen, take a screenshot. You'll likely desire to take it on mitt information technology later.

Here'due south where the fun really begins. With the Next update, Hi Games too launched a website called the Galactic Atlas. It's an interactive map where players tin input the glyphs from the planet that they're on, and get an actual map marking showing them where they are in the galaxy.

Prior to the launch of Next, Hello Games sent out a survey. In it, the studio asked for information about notable planets that players had discovered. The developers curated a brusk list of those planets and loaded them into the Galactic Atlas as points of interest. All yous need to do is zoom in and click on an individual planet to become its 16-glyph code.

Just before you can use that lawmaking to step through the portal and leap across the milky way, you're going to have to jump through some hoops.

No Man's Sky - traveler Lisker — In one case y'all become far enough down the Artemis Path, NPC travelers will begin to appear randomly on some infinite stations. By paying them nanites, you can uncover graves that will teach you lot glyphs. To detect other travelers, look for NPCs that don't match the race of the other characters on board your space station.

Robbing graves to find glyphs

You lot can power upwards portals on every planet that you detect, but without earning the ability to use those glyphs, you're not going anywhere. Unfortunately, learning each of those glyphs is a chip of a pain.

Shortly after you leave your first planet, yous'll pick up the Artemis Path storyline. If you follow the prompts in your log, y'all'll eventually come to the grave of another traveler. By interacting with that grave, y'all'll acquire your offset glyph. At present you merely demand to find 15 more graves to fully navigate the galaxy using the Galactic Atlas.

No Man's Sky - traveler's grave — The graves of NPC travelers are differentiated from the graves of your role player graphic symbol past the utilize of a yellow border.

After you interact with that first grave, other travelers will begin to prove up inside infinite stations. If yous pay them 100 nanites, they'll cough up some dissonant data. Hop back inside your starship, and you lot'll see a new location listed on the HUD. It's called an Unknown Grave. Land at the grave, interact with information technology, and y'all'll be given another glyph.

The legitimate way to unlock all sixteen glyphs is to simply travel to plenty new space stations that you crash-land into 15 more fellow travelers. On PlayStation 4, there are reports of a bug that volition allow you to harvest all 16 glyphs from a single grave. So far, we've not been able to duplicate it, merely if we can, we'll update that here. Even if it works, await information technology to eventually get patched out.

In one case you have all 16 glyphs, return to any portal to input a code from the Galactic Atlas, and you're on your way.
