No Man’s Sky is an online sandbox, offering you plenty of freedom to do as you please.
However, according to our colleagues from IGN, it is advisable not to do everything – or at least, consider some things carefully and perhaps do them later.
So you will get the opportunity to buy a new ship fairly early on. But is it wise to do so right away? If you buy a new ship, it typically comes without warp cells. Therefore, you should either possess warp cells or at least know how to craft them before acquiring a new ship. Otherwise, you could potentially find yourself stranded in a solar system.
Everything needs careful consideration
Additionally, after purchasing a new starship, you should really transfer everything from your inventory. If you do not do this and realize you’ve forgotten something, you will need to take command of the old ship again, which can lead to a problem, as you might lose control of the new ship.
Without a sufficient supply of titanium, you should not venture into the unknown expanses of space. Pirates lurk there, ready to target your shield energy with precise shots, leaving you defenseless. However, with enough titanium reserves, you can constantly recharge your ships, improving your chances of survival in battles.
If you want to explore a cave on a planet, do not do so before you set a waypoint at the entrance – to do this, scan an object outside the cave, which will place a small dot where you can orient yourself. You can easily get lost in the labyrinthine corridors, and without orientation, it can be frustrating to find your way back out.
Don’t overestimate yourself
Also, make sure you always have enough plutonium with you, because if your jetpack runs out of fuel on a mountain, you will quickly find yourself in trouble.
You want to prove yourself against space pirates, but at least at the beginning, be careful not to take on too many at once. Only when your ship is really armed to the teeth will you have a chance.
Also, be sure to not miss any events, as they will lead you to new technologies and advance you in the story of the game.
