@toddumptious - looks like you found a LUSH, VERDANT planet on which to Ride Your Creatures.
@SingularGleam - that’s an excellent “Face/Off” style pic - v dramatic. Well done.
(PS what’s with the red things from before? I obvs haven’t explored near enough yet…)
Those measles are small rocks, they give ferrite dust when mined.

I like this pic, @Mad-Hatter, cuz it looks so . . . colour coordinated…!
They come in yellow now??
Yep! They also have a standby mode if they spawn naturally on a planet, their legs retract and the head sits on the ground - neat to see them wake up
I thought that was “old”, @SingularGleam – remember one of the Early Videos, where it was A Very Dark Night, with the blue-ish / purple-ish veg, the ship was parked on a slight slope, and as the player approached, a walker suddenly stood up, and in the dark we mainly saw its Big Blue Eye…?!
@SingularGleam – I FOUND IT!
After some searching… bloody hell… LOL
(In case it doesn’t embed nicely, PlayStation’s own “No Man’s Sky : Portal gameplay TRAILER : PS4” is what it’s called…)
You’ll see the EYE from some distance, to the left…
It’s at about the 40sec mark when the Walker suddenly stands up.
I find the POSE it adopts, when it does, kinda funny.
Yep! That is old I guess, pretty much the same as now - little faster maybe in that vid
I just recently noticed these spawning together with a building, all folded up and had yet to realise those are actually the big walkers. You can have a good look in photo mode while still flying. As soon as you land they’ll stand up.
Mine was right by a building as well.
Excellent capture, @DevilinPixy.
I wonder if there’s any “stealthy” way to approach a “folded” Walker on foot . . .
NMS is kinda “RPG”, but not character-stats-RPG . . .and I don’t think there’s any option for a “quiet” ExoSuit add-on…
… but that’d be neat, if we were able to “creep up on” (and then climb on top of) a Walker.
PS - nice lookin fighter you’ve got there; like the way the 3 flight surfaces seem to “match” – it’s a good look.
I am not sure, as they require a high wanted level, which the base actually had. In ‘normal’ encounters they tend to disappear when I run off to drop the wanted level and return real quick to hopefully find one still walking about. Might have to try some more, as it would be cool, although I doubt they will return to their fold-up state.
Exactly the reason I got it, the looks Plenty of them around on my home planet, but the time I bought it was because of being an A-Class with 20 slots, perfect layout, and tech. Was the 2nd ship I bought and could just afford it. See here.
I don’t think so, but there’s a way of not so stealthily roasting them with your ship’s guns (they get up in that case too, but there’s not that much they can do…)
