Your direction you face when the game gives you control is the direction of your crashed ship. RUN! especially on survival mode.

"Run and gun". Run and mine everything on your way to your crashed ship. Do not stop to mine.

This nearby cave thing is something the game may be providing new players to keep them from dying as I've seen it repeatedly now.

Those hazardous spores in the cave provide sodium and oxygen. His shield was charged up further somehow, so I assume he mined them off camera. (He explains that at a later time in the video).

Just like perhaps the new cave, you will have 4 oxygen plants provided by the game at your first crashed ship.

Oxygen is for your health meter. Sodium is for your shield recharge.

Life support packs and batteries though they take up a slot, can save on oxygen and sodium when you manufacture them in your backpack.

When you're going after you Hermetic Seal and the scripted storm triggers, just turn around and wait out the storm back in your crashed ship. The walk from your crashed ship to facility that your Hermetic Seal is in is calculated for you to run out of shields even if there is NO storm, so be prepared to recharge.

He's jet packing forward on the PC keyboard with a simultaneous forward(W), Punch (Q), and Jump (Space Bar). (He partially explains that later in the video.)

The Atlas Pass 1 (& 2 &3) are simply blueprints available on the Anomaly space station. You make the Atlas passes. They are available as soon as you advance the main quest to get into the Anomaly. They are very helpful as the Atlas containers are lying about everywhere you are looting other containers, so it is efficient to be able to loot them also. And enter doors in buildings that you are entering anyway (Atlas Pass 2).


Getting a Terrain Manipulator early in the missions is not only good for mining bulk materials, but digging your own emergency cave to hide from weather and Sentinals.

When you take off, you're using up a portion of your Launch Fuel. After that all your low speed thruster flying doesn't cost any fuel. This includes Shift boosting for faster speed. Your faster impulse drive is fueled by Tritium (and something else) for solar system flying, and interstellar travel is fueled by Warp Core fuel.

Keeping your Launch Fuel topped off (I forget how high the %) will allow you to recall you ship to yourself in the X menu. If the launch fuel is not charged enough, you cannot recall your ship. There is an auto-recharger module and a launch fuel efficiency module available in the Anomaly that you can install in all your ships for quality of life improvement.

The Drop Pod cheese glitch has been fixed, so you cannot cheese the drop pods without repairing it anymore.

Good to learn that the cave marrow bulbs can refine into sodium too.

Three years and probably 600-700 hours in this game, and I literally never noticed the waypoints get you nanites in the discoveries tab🤦‍♀️ Explains quite a few “mystery nanites” I’ve gotten along the way 😆 Always something new to learn!

[Snart]

Glad to see you back to NMS content. We missed you, Bob.

[sven_]

Yes, been waiting for a fresh start. Can't wait to see how this series goes!

[additive]

I swear YouTube's algorithm is psychic. I got into another game for a while, But as soon as I start missing NMS This video Pops up at the top of my list.

[TheMousheen]

Great to see you playing fresh No Man's Sky, love your work

[blueduchessvi]

Thanks for keeping up with the fresh start tutorials. Extremely helpful always.

[mimirtells]

It's been months since I played the game and I was thinking about a fresh start. Good to see you again Bob!

[bananahpolkadot]

I also started fresh after this new update!! I’m having so much fun! So glad you’re playing too so I can listen to you while I play.

When the world needed him most he returned

[gabehood]

I basically got all of my early NMS knowledge from your videos, glad to have you back.

[rrad]

Always look forward to your insightful commentary and your humor. Glad to see a new video series!

[copperlocke]

A lot of these update heads ups were really, really helpful for me as a continuing player. Thank you for this series!

[agentmoss]

Been searching for a good gaming series to watch, this looks like it 👍👍

[nekogod]

One thing for people who might be struggling at the start, your hazard protection is stealth buffed when you first start the game and goes down much slower than usual, the small amount you start with will last about 18 minutes. This steath buff disappears as soon as you repair the scanner and it will start dropping much more quickly. On normal it will immediately drop from 18 minutes to 3 minutes. So it can be worth spending a little bit of time looking for a cave or looking for sodium (photo mode and making it night makes this pretty easy) before you repair the scanner, especially on the harder difficulties where I imagine you'll have less than a minute after repairing.

[jeanpauldelachaumette]

I'm still considering getting this game and with every update I am more and more tempted to.

[dogs-game-too]

Great to see a new Bob video! We missed you! I'm glad you mentioned the nerf to economy crashing because I had no idea lol.

[Ghost-jtgi]

I haven't been playing in a while. Saw u and Jason had new content and that actually caused me to buy nms for my steam deck

[BorgWolf]

I always love your vids! I came back to try Interceptor too! I love the new ships it added! When I did my playthrough I could not find the space station even the diamond showed on the ship radar! It didn't appear in game until I actually got the quest to go there! Great job, keep up the good work! Missed ya tons, Bob! ;)

[delroy]

Hey, Bob. Haven't seen much from you lately. Good to see you back.
