Best Hidden Features in No Man's Sky Desolation Update 2020

The Desolation Update for No Man's Sky added a ton of great new features. Some of them are not in your face and take a little digging but they pay off massively. The biggest feature that was added in the desolation update is the ability to add inventory to your freighter and access it from the menu. It is awesome!!

More About No Man's Sky:

Inspired by the adventure and imagination that we love from classic science-fiction, No Man's Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with unique planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action.

In No Man's Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens, and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you'll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before - and perhaps never will again.

Play with all 11 major updates since launch: Foundation, Pathfinder, Atlas Rises, NEXT, The Abyss, Visions, the 2.0 BEYOND update, Synthesis, Living Ship, Exo Mech and Desolation.

An epic voyage to the center of a shared universe awaits, allowing you to explore, trade, fight and survive alone or with friends.

At the center of the galaxy lies a irresistible pulse which draws you on a journey towards it to learn the true nature of the cosmos. But, facing hostile creatures and fierce pirates, you'll know that death comes at a cost, and survival will be down to the choices you make over how you upgrade your ship, your weapon and suit.

Your voyage through No Man's Sky is up to you. Will you be a fighter, preying on the weak and taking their riches, or taking out pirates for their bounties? Power is yours if you upgrade your ship for speed and weaponry.

Or a trader? Find rich resources on forgotten worlds and exploit them for the highest prices. Invest in more cargo space and you'll reap huge rewards.

Or perhaps an explorer? Go beyond the known frontier and discover places and things that no one has ever seen before. Upgrade your engines to jump ever farther, and strengthen your suit for survival in toxic environments that would kill the unwary.

The galaxy in No Man's Sky is a living, breathing place. Trade convoys travel between stars, factions vie for territory, pirates hunt the unwary, and the police are ever watching. Every other player lives in the same galaxy, and you can choose to share your discoveries with them on a map that spans known space. Perhaps you will see the results of their actions as well as your own...

I'm amazed with how Hello Games has turned this game around. This has to be one of the best flop-fix's of all time. Especially because they haven't made people pay a single dime more for any of this. They've delivered everything they originally promised and *MUCH* much more. What a great game this has turned out to be.

[Kajun]

I still haven’t finished my first play-through since I came late to NMS. Just wanted to say thank you for all of your great videos that helped me get up to speed with this amazing game. Keep up the great work, bro!

[ChristopherSadlowski]

Jason sounds like his world is full of constant wonderment 😃

I've been renaming my storage containers for months now, that's not new, but accessing them through the quick menu is a game changer! I'm also in love with the exocraft summoning from the freighter!

[freshbat]

The only storage difference is you have access to all of your lockers via freighter tab you don't get any more than before and you don't have to name them for access, and the naming of them has always been a thing great vid though hope what I've said make sense

[DadGuy]

I love the named storage tabs, SUPER useful. And congrats on the wild rise in subs!

[agnichatian]

Correction on the Ricochet Modules: The projectiles DO cause damage. The description says that ricochet will occur for projectiles IF they don't cause damage. This means that they could bounce off a rock or metal wall and then hit and damage an enemy (or perhaps bounce yet again). So, for ex., if an enemy was hiding around a corner of a hallway, you might be able to hit it by bouncing off the far wall.

The Storage Containers are not new for Desolation. The ability to have ten of them and the ability to rename them has been there for a while. Note: These are the same ten everywhere - somehow they must use trans-dimensional storage (Ex: Storage '0' will contain the same contents no mater where it is - mine some copper at your base and put it into Storage '0' and go to your freighter and look in Storage '0' and it will be there too). This is a great way to move materials. The thing that is new in Desolation is that you can not access the first 6 of these from the Freighter Inventory Tab. Very cool - but not even close to unlimited, all mine are full.

I haven’t seen anyone report on this yet but there’s S class upgrade modules for freighters now, you get them for asking for tech from derelict freighters

[AntonisApostolopoulos]

Freighter storage, duping, allien mutitool, squid and exotics, scrapping ships, man you changed the way we see this game and we enjoy it so much more with everything new you bring up, keep it up man, the sound of your voice showing how happy you are to play this game really makes my day, hope you keep doing what you love for a long long time. Credit also to Hello games for such a unique game, it actually is a never ending game and the way they expand it will keep us engaged and advertise it to others, desolation is so cool, hope you will add also other enemies to fight. keep it up !!!

[EnderCorePL]

The ricochet was previously enabled with some S-class modules. Now it has been changed to be a separate upgrade.

[schizophil]

Fun story: I’ve never played a horror game before, so when I first visited a derilict freighter i shit myself

[jeffxgoodman]

Finally, I can organize these freighter storage containers! Thanks for the video :)

[markaradigan]

I've had the storage containers on my freighter for a year now. Before this update you had to go to each one individually to get things out of it. Now you can label M and quick crab. Awesome I didn't know about that! Thanks

[StickyFt]

I'm new here and every video I've found of yours about this game is super helpful to a newbie like me.

You've gained a sub through me.

That being said, the game is on sale for half off on PS4 rn. Not sure if it's like that on other platforms or not but that may be why your seeing a rise in subs lately.

Keep up the good work Jason!!

[distrtdhumr]

Ricochet used to come as a random modifier on multifoil weapon upgrades for both the Pulsespitter and the Boltcaster. The frequency in which you get them on an S tier mod was insanely common however, and didn't stack, so it was possible to have 2 wasted modifier slots since the game didn't care if you already had a mod with it.

The desolation update removed that modifier from the pool of randomly rolling stats a d instead made it a separate installable upgrade and assigned a random stat in its place.

[SirOtterman]

The storage containers on the freighter are the same as the ones you put on a base. Inventory is shared to wherever you install the storage module. The max is 10 (0-9). That has been around since I started playing the game (NEXT update I believe). The being able to tab through them is definitely new (and amazing). Glad you found it, it's very useful. Wish they would add the tabbing ability on the units when at bases

[jacetheface]

You can also collapse that back room on the freighter and move that open space closer to the ship docking, so you run around the ship less.

[DerRusher]

the freighter storage is just the 0-9 crates that you can also build on planets. they share the same inventory, so its no storage increase! just more storage you can access anywhere with the freighter item teleporter tech

[DadGuy]

Hahah, I also always hit jetpack when trying to build the first time.... Glad I'm not alone in that :)
