NMS Waypoint

So first order of business: warp to all Space Stations in my long list and purchase more tech slots in my suit. Thankfully, they are all green again and I am awash in cash and Space Station teleporters. :grinning:
Soooo…I threw away upgrades and moved all I could and still have no room for my personal refiner… threw away my translators…thankfully the Atlas Pass still functions in cargo…what to do…:dizzy_face::laughing:


I honestly do not need the added cargo space (there are about 5 empty rows off screen). I need it in Tech

I venture a guess that we were supposed to specialise and not install ALL THE THINGS all the time?

So in one save your astronaut has a submarine and mega under water protection and underwater jetpack, but only minimal hazard protection. And in the other you have maxed out hazard protection but only limited diving skills. And the third has all language and crafting and harvesting skills and stays indoors a lot and composes emo songs on the bytebeat. :laughing:

Yah there is like 120 slots now in cargo and I think 99 in tech? I like the expanded tech and have been wanting this change for ages, but that’s a lot of extra space…also still would like cargo and tech on 2 separate tabs like freighter and base storage

And how do we expand Freighter tech slots?

5 Likes

apparently you must max out slots in storage first, since there is no way to select…atleast i dont think didn’t try yet.

Well, I was able to select for my suit and ship. I chose not to expand cargo any further

okay good to know, I never tried to flip between the 2

AH …STEAM FIXES…MIGHT BE RELATED:

  • Fixed a number of issues related to selecting the next inventory slot to be upgraded.
  • Fixed a UI issue that could make it difficult to expand inventories up to their intended maximum dimensions (of 60 for technology and 120 for items).

** pretty sure I had 99 in tech…think that is where I ran out…damn I have to check again… next work break lol

I need to check that out because right now my tech is maxed at 30
OK, word, don’t throw away any tech. Just store it in cargo or storage cube until you open all 60 slots…

Man, oh man!

  • Custom game modes
  • Collected knowledge log
  • Ability to rename saves
  • Number of Communication Station icons displayed is now capped in areas with dense messages. [Thank you – finally!]
  • QoL improvements

Really bummed that my PC is down.

Maybe I should use that as an excuse to buy a new Surface Laptop with 2 TB disk and nice fast graphics card. :japanese_ogre:

I am feeling much better now.
60 tech slots in my pockets


More room in my MT

The only thing not working is tech slot upgrades for my Frieghter…Add Additional Space is not available at the terminal on the Bridge.



Do I need something I have forgotten about?

what inventory do you have the freighter storage items in?

Do you have a bulkhead to install? I find those in the last stage of derelict freighters but they may come from other places.

well I have 13 of those things I cant remember what they are called…lol…they are in the pic above next to the wiring looms.

That is a different icon than I’m use to. Once this thing downloads here I’ll have to play with that to see if there is something else to do.

Cargo Bulkheads found on Derelict Freighters and some Nexus missions…unfortunately, Freighter Tech slots seem to still be locked by Freighter level…so it will not allow me to expand them. I can expand the cargo. Thanks everyone!


I had to remove a warp upgrade to place my item teleporter in tech, of course, with custom mode, I could opt to set my item teleport to any distance.
Unless there is a new item for expanding Tech slots. I mean the current one does read Cargo Bulkhead…
I don’t recall this ramp being broken before…did I miss it?

6 Likes

I think the ramp was broken before but in a different way?

Did it reset things for you, like the Normandy? I could claim it again. Alas I didn’t check to see if it was on my freighter before. The living frigate was still around though, hmm.

And, yeah, good advice, just store all the upgrades until we figure out where to stick them. :sweat_smile: Unlocking tech slots sounds like my next quest.

Has the single/multiplayer choice become stricter? It still says, “others can join my session,” but the Anomaly was as empty as never. Can’t be that I’m the only one in the whole country? :scream:

PS: EVERYTHING IS SO SPARKLY AND SHINY :star_struck:

Screenshots on steam…If steam on PC press F12 to take screenshot. Assuming steam overlay is on. You may know this already.

Hmm. I didn’t get this “Waypoint brings a vast array of new features” message at the very start. :cry: Probably because of the stealth update they snuck in before I was back from work?
