Updates 1.60 and beyond for PS4

I got to agree. Only diehard fans will stick by a game that gets better each update yet slaps you hard in the face by changing each time.
I don’t understand the logic of many decisions regarding changes, but it is quite fun relearning a game you love. It’s like getting a brand new NMS each time it updates.
…and a bunch of slaps in the face for your dedication :grin:

Speaking of big balls, does anyone have any tips where to find gravitino balls. I just need to find one for a base mission I’m on. Says I need to find a extreme sentinel (aggressive) planet I guess lol.

Happy Travels!

I guess Gravitino balls can be found pretty anywhere and not just on planets that where sentinels are hostile (:slight_smile:
Over the last 5 planets I visited, 2 got g.b!
Hope this helps a bit!

Often the ruins where you dig up treasure have Gravatinos laying about.
Should be able to grow one easily enough in a planter if you’ve completed the initial base missions.

I tend to find loads of grav balls on dead, barren, lifeless types of worlds. Make sure your exosuit has good shields tho, as soon as you grab one the sentinel doggy shows up!

Advice for collecting gravatino balls: try to find a whole bunch together, and have your plasma launcher.
Ruins are a good place to find them, like @Nightazure said.

I’ll check that out too Gunnar, thank you!

I will stick with NMS… I look upon the changes as a Brain Health check… very good idea for the over 60s!

Also I have found that the moons of lush, paradise, etc planets often have Gravitrino Balls on them. I will also happily shoot you my planet’s Portal code, my moon is absolutely littered with them, however the sentinels are on the fritz up there.

Thanks Frozenbullet7.
If you don’t mind sharing your portal code, I would love to save it for future Gravitrino balls farming, if a mission calls for it again.

This is great to know there are planets with tons on them!

Happy Traveling.

This is terrific news, started a course this week and they gave us an impromptu half day off because a tutor couldn’t make it in today. Wasnt sure when I’d be back on the sim while I adjusted to the new routine, nice surprise to arrive home to. Would it be rude to ask the bus driver to go faster?? MUSH!! YAH!! HYUP!!!

Does anyone know what the week 4 community mission is?

So far I’m on the community quest and the objective says "Specialisst Polo is broadcasting a request for explorers. They ask for assistance as they document a new “phase” of the galaxy.
After I went through the portal it says “Aquire transmission data for Polo”
Polo has detected a broadcast from across the breach, an echo of another reality. They require precise signal data in order to establish a firm trace.
Locate the towers that are repeating the broadcast. Decipher the clues in the signal, and align the repeater with the likely source.

There you have it ;D Happy Travels!

So far, I’ve found the circular ring “breach” structures on the first portal world.

But having completed that section, and moved on to finding other anomalous planets - I can find the planets OK, but there don’t appear to be any breach structures.

Perhaps I’m missing something.

Weren’t people saying they either couldnt find any of them after NEXT launched or that maybe they’d become a lot harder to locate? :confused:
