It was clear that the players of the online game No Man’s Sky would try to find each other in the vast universe. And that did happen – but not quite as hoped.
In principle, No Man’s Sky is an MMO. There are thousands of players in the universe, but they are very spread out. According to the game’s developers, it is supposed to be nearly impossible for two players to meet. But such statements are a challenge for gamers who want to make the impossible possible. And so it happened that two players noticed they were coincidentally in the same solar system. The player TheSadCactus noticed that another player named Psytokat had already given this system a name.
An Encounter of the Invisible
So the two wanted to meet as well. They communicated through the PSN and agreed on a meeting point. However, upon arrival, the two players could not see each other, even though they were at the same spot. Additionally, the day-night cycle of the planet did not correspond for both. While one was experiencing day, the planet for the other was in the night phase. It seemed as if the players were not in the same instance.
Causes Unknown
It is currently unclear what this is due to. The developers at Hello Games actually explained that it is possible – albeit highly unlikely due to the size of the universe – for players to meet. Therefore, the disappointment was naturally great when they could not see each other at a meeting. One problem could be that one player was continually struggling with PSN connection drops. Another plausible reason could be that the servers were simply overloaded at the game’s launch.
The two players, however, want to keep trying to meet.

In No Man’s Sky, Hello Games talks about what the game is exactly – and what it is not.
Today is the launch of No Man’s Sky on PS4. Many fans have been waiting for this day for quite some time, when they can take the controller in hand and lift off into the seemingly infinite universe.
However, not everyone will have pure joy in the game and burst into cheers. If you belong to the late deciders and haven’t pre-ordered the game yet, Sean Murray, the founder of Hello Games, explains exactly what No Man’s Sky is – and what it is not.
This is No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky is a limitless procedurally generated sci-fi space survival sandbox. According to Murray, the game is different from all the other games you have played before.
Survival and crafting in a sandbox that has the dimensions of a universe.
A fantastic soundtrack from his (Murray’s) favorite band.
Furthermore, you should feel for a brief moment as if you are stepping into the cover of a sci-fi book.
It is a quirky game, a niche game, and a “very, very relaxing game.” Therefore, Murray also knows that No Man’s Sky will not be for every player. He expects it to be “super controversial.”
Via Twitter, the founder of Hello Games clearly stated that No Man’s Sky is not a multiplayer game. You should not acquire it with the expectation that you will encounter many other players. Because the chances of two players ever crossing paths is close to zero.
There are online features and Easter eggs so that people know they are all playing in the same universe. But it is only about cool moments. You should not expect multiplayer action.
Currently, you cannot build cities or civilizations in No Man’s Sky. You also cannot control powerful space freighters. However, Murray also said that such features may come after launch with updates.
Today, Cortyn is upset about news sites that don’t care much about providing sources. A frustrating everyday occurrence in this business.
Copying, Rewriting, Forgetting Sources
Guys, gals, grab the popcorn because Cortyn is angry again. Today, it’s not directly about games but rather about other gaming sites and news portals. As expected, this is also a fiercely contested market. It’s about clicks, advertising revenue, and all the things that are often not talked about but are necessary to keep such a site running. And increasingly, it seems to be the case that sources are not even mentioned – at least not when it would require referencing a “competitor’s site.”
No question, there are news items that read very similarly across all major sites. This is usually because there was a unified press release that people heavily relied on. Alternatively, a large English site has some exclusive news that then spreads. It is quite normal for the outcome to read similarly on all German sites.
When they don’t even change the headline…
However, I grow a third horn out of my forehead when people brazenly copy and then don’t even have the decency to name us as a source. It gets even better when they don’t even think of coming up with a new headline. Care for an example? A few days ago, I wrote the news ‘WoW: “We did not do enough with Warlords of Draenor”‘. It was based on an interview from the English site PCGamesN. I even cheated a bit because the sentence “We did not do enough with Warlords of Draenor” does not appear in that form in the interview but rather reflects the content of the complete interview.
A certain other site that I will simply call “BuffSpell.com” shortly thereafter wrote their own news titled: ‘WoW: “We did not do enough for Warlords of Draenor” – Blizzard admits’ – they didn’t even bother to disguise the copied content at all. You can look it up if it’s not obvious enough who I mean. That the news only specifically addresses the same two points that I also highlighted is almost a given.
Coincidences that don’t exist
The same thing happened with the story about the Scarlet Quartermaster. To my knowledge, no other German site had this before – because I learned about this trader in the beta and waited for the day of the Darkmoon Faire to publish it. And – oh wonder – a certain site took it up a few hours later. Of course, again without mentioning sources. Did they happen to research the same thing in the beta as I did, darn it! But quickly taking their own screenshots and slapping “Source: BuffSpell” on the image apparently suffices. I would be utterly ashamed.
I must confess that before Mein-MMO.de, I wrote little for other sites, so I don’t know if such behavior is “the norm” everywhere. Personally, it bothers me immensely. I’m quite glad to have a boss who places a lot of value on source attribution. I (and quite a few other writers on the site) believe that it’s simply good manners not only to mention the pure “information source,” which usually has an English origin, but also the one that brought attention to something. After all, without either of those, the news on our site would not exist. Perhaps it’s naive and foolish to expect such decency in our “eat or be eaten” world, but seriously: what can one lose? A little bit of ego because you link to another site? The great danger of losing one or two readers because they check that you didn’t have the news first?
I certainly don’t want to present ourselves as the great savior in the sea of news sites because we make mistakes too. But I’m quite proud that we at least don’t shy away from honest source attribution. For me, this has something to do with the last bit of honor and decency one can offer someone when they are using someone else’s work. Source attribution is something you learn in elementary school, after all. Or what do you think?
Wow… this has turned out to be a bit longer than originally planned. Perhaps you enjoy this little insight into what really drives news site authors up the wall.

A few days later, the PvP was revised: The weapon damage was increased, so that agents now deal 20% more damage to each other. According to the YouTuber Skill Up, this change caused DeadEYE to become the best set in PvP.
Useless in PvE, a Beast in PvP
The YouTuber noted in recent weeks that agents with shotguns dominate the Dark Zone. With 1-2 shots, other players can be eliminated. Currently, only the DeadEYE set can withstand this overpower. But what makes DeadEYE, specifically the talent of the set, so strong?

In The Division, there are four types of weapon damage, which will be displayed to you in different colors:
White numbers: Normal body shots
Red numbers: Headshot hits
Orange numbers: Critical body shots
Orange numbers: Critical headshot hits. These are also indicated in orange.
With the DeadEYE talent, all bonuses for headshot hits are removed for precision rifles, but every shot will be a critical hit (at least when you are not looking through the scope). Every damage will be displayed to you in orange.
You can increase critical hit damage by up to 320%, and the special thing is: To deal this massive damage, you don’t have to aim carefully at the head, but have the entire body as a target area. You can even spray fire with the sniper at close enemies from the hip and still deal extremely high damage. This is particularly useful in PvP, as other players rarely allow themselves to be shot at without moving.
But how much damage do you deal with the set in the Dark Zone with the 20% additional weapon damage? Assuming the opponents have around 400-500k toughness – which can currently be considered standard – you need about 4 body shots with an M1A to take them down. The optimal range of a sniper is significantly higher than that of a shotgun, giving you a significant advantage here.
However, you also need an impulse provider and a corresponding build to boost your critical hit damage. In the embedded video above, you can take a detailed look at Skill Up’s build.
In short: It increases the critical hit damage for nearly all items. Besides DeadEYE, he relies on two pieces of the B.L.I.N.D. sets, which grant him +20% critical hit damage through the impulse provider. In addition, he builds on 400k toughness himself, as he would otherwise go down too quickly in PvP.
Especially in combination with explosive rounds, Skill Up sees this set as too strong, as it requires little skill to deal extremely high damage. With this gear setup, it becomes too easy for agents to deal huge amounts of damage.
Have you tested this set in the Dark Zone? What do you think about it?
The launch trailer has been released for No Man’s Sky.
If you’ve been counting down the days for weeks until No Man’s Sky finally launches, you know that today is the day: Today, on August 10th, it starts for us on PS4. While PC users have to wait until August 12th, the galaxy can be ruthlessly explored by PlayStation fans starting today.
The game has been running in the US since yesterday. On this occasion, the developers released a cool launch trailer that’s supposed to make the game even more enticing for you. You can watch it here:

In the trailer, the question is mentioned of what is actually at the center of the galaxy. For a short time, the black diamond, which is also the logo of No Man’s Sky, was visible. This entity is called Atlas and is important for obtaining Atlas Passes.
What this is all about, you can now explore for yourselves. The waiting time is over.
The Demon Hunter is now live in the European World of Warcraft ! We have the intro cinematic for you.
The Illidari March into Battle
Since the end of maintenance this morning (August 10, 2016), the Demon Hunter is also playable in Europe on the servers of World of Warcraft. At least if you have pre-ordered a version of the upcoming expansion “Legion”. Only Blood Elves and Night Elves have the opportunity to become a Demon Hunter for story reasons. Part of the introductory story takes place in the past during the time of the “The Burning Crusade” expansion. As an intro, this short video awaits you, recorded when players attack the Black Temple.

Apart from the Demon Hunters, players can now experience the introductory scenario and travel to the Broken Shore to the Tomb of Sargeras to witness the arrival of the Legion up close.
Furthermore, the Legion also began its attacks on the game world this morning and is landing in several zones to conquer Azeroth in the name of demons. Those who participate in the defense will be rewarded with special weapon skins, toys, and pets. Part of this event is also that players are whispered to in the capitals by demons who promise them special powers. Will you heed the whispers and reach for the corrupted power to destroy your friends as a raid boss?
The event will intensify in the coming weeks until “Legion” actually launches on August 30, and players can flood to the Broken Isles.
To prepare thoroughly for the latest chapter of World of Warcraft, it’s worth checking out our overview page for Legion.

In No Man’s Sky, we will take a closer look at the items “Atlas Pass” and “Atlas Stone”.
No Man’s Sky offers you a gigantic universe in which you can move freely. When you see a foreign planet, you simply fly towards it. If you find a cave, you can just go inside. There are no limits for you. Or are there?
There are also places where you cannot just stroll in. In fact, there are many locked doors and sealed containers. If you want to open these, you will receive a message that an Atlas Pass of a certain version is required. For example, there is the “Atlas Pass v1”. What is it all about?
The Atlas Passes are universal keys that are easy to craft as long as you have the blueprints for them. However, obtaining an Atlas Pass blueprint requires time and effort.
Atlas Leads You to the Atlas Passes
In No Man’s Sky, there is an “Atlas”, an entity that helps to hold together all parts of the universe. This “Atlas” is represented as a diamond and is the symbol of No Man’s Sky:
After you have mastered a few missions in the game, you will be tasked to investigate a specific monolith. This will show you a waypoint to Atlas, so you can directly warp to an Atlas Base.
Now you just need to have enough Warp Cells and embark on the journey there. Once you arrive, you will be rewarded with an Atlas Pass. Even at later points, Atlas will send you to various artifacts where you can obtain the passes.
What is the deal with Atlas Stones?
Inside an Atlas Station, you will also receive an Atlas Stone. These stones are valuable items that you can exchange for a lot of Units (around 75k). How to quickly get money, you can read here.
There are also increasing reports that you should keep 10 Atlas Stones. These are said to be important for the end of the game.
By the way: The closer you get to the center of the universe, the better passes you will receive. With a higher-ranked Atlas Pass, you can open more secure doors and containers.
A user reports that he found an Atlas Pass v1 in a space anomaly while exploring a new solar system:
Inside this anomaly, he spoke with a being that gave him the blueprint. With 25 iron and 10 heredium, the item could then be crafted. This Atlas Pass can also be sold for 825 Units.
Those who game daily are better at math and those who use Facebook cannot calculate well. What is true about this new study?
Games enhance student performance
It’s an eternal back and forth. Video games make you stupid. No! Yes! Oh!
A new study by RMIT University in Melbourne has once again addressed this prejudice and analyzed the online behavior and PISA results of more than 12,000 Australian adolescents aged 15.
The result may surprise some people. Because those who play online games daily scored on average 15 points more in the math tasks of the PISA study than classmates who refrain from such games. In the scientific area, the difference was even 17 points. Gamers were also clearly better in reading.
Daily gaming enhances math performance – is there any truth to it?
Social media users are worse at math
It looks significantly worse for all users of social networks. Those who write messages on Facebook daily have on average 20 points less in the mathematical area than classmates who keep away from social media.
However – and this must be made clear – these correlations are not monocausal according to the researchers. So it cannot always be definitively stated what causes and effects are. For example, someone who spends the whole day posting various videos or chatting with friends on WhatsApp may neglect their school obligations. On the other hand, it is “also possible that the weaker students maintain social contacts with others more strongly” and therefore increasingly resort to social media.
Ultimately, internet consumption is only one of many influencing factors that affect a child and contribute to success and failure. More strongly influencing the grade point average is (who would have guessed?) skipping classes or having a migration background.
Mein-MMO says: At least for MMOs, it is still relatively easy to understand why heavy players perform better in math. Anyone who has listened to two professionals discussing “theorycrafting” could very well think they landed in math class. Memorizing, such as boss fights and their abilities, trains the brain and certainly contributes to improving the memorization of content.

No Man’s Sky is just around the corner. Many are already rubbing their hands in anticipation, but what can you actually do in the game?
No Man’s Sky is a sandbox. This means: Do what you feel like. At the beginning, the game is still somewhat linear as you first need to repair your ship and escape from the first planet. Additionally, you need a hyperdrive to explore other locations in the galaxy. But basically, it’s up to you how you proceed and where you want to travel.
Resources and Crafting
In the beginning, you set out to explore the surroundings of the foreign planet and mine resources with your multi-tool. You will do this quite often in the game, as you explore multiple star systems and constantly need resources, for example, to repair your spaceship or to craft fuel. Furthermore, rare and valuable resources earn you a lot of money and help you perform upgrades. Exploring planets and mining resources is, therefore, an element that will accompany you throughout the game.
Crafting continues to play an important role. As you mine resources, they are added to your inventory. Crafting takes place in the inventory. You select a space where it shows you what you can craft and which resources you need for it. Once you have everything together, you craft the item, such as a warp cell, and it appears in your inventory. Some of the crafting recipes you already know from the beginning, while others you have to find first.
Space Flights and Combat
On the planets, you can also fight, although this is not always advisable – especially not at the beginning. When you mine resources, Sentinels will appear. The flying robots will scan you. If you attack them, they will call for reinforcements and you will become embroiled in battles. This also happens when you attack animals to obtain rare resources. The combat occurs like in a shooter. Depending on how effective your weapon is, you deal more or less damage.
Once you get into your ship, you can explore space and fly to other planets. With your ship’s lasers, you also mine resources in space by firing the weapons at asteroids. However, there can also be battles with NPC ships. So, you should constantly improve your weapon systems and the armor of your ship through crafting.
Trade and Scanning
At space stations, it is possible to land and trade at the marketplace or with docked ships. For example, you sell valuable resources that you do not necessarily need and buy other important items that you might not be able to craft yourself at the moment. Not all ships and stations trade the same items, just as there are not all resources on every planet.
Scanning is always important. Because this way, you find out what resources are available in a solar system or on a planet. When you land on an unknown world, you can even give animals their own names when you scan them.
There is a lot to do in the online game No Man’s Sky. These are just the basic things that should make it easier for you to get started on PlayStation 4 starting August 10 and on PC starting August 12.
The new Hearthstone card “Purify” for priest is hated by the community. Ben Brode comments on this.
Purify – the worst card ever?
Although there are plenty of standout cards in the new “One Night in Karazhan” expansion, one card particularly displeases players. We are talking about “Purify” for the priest. It is generally considered the worst card of the expansion, likely to flourish neither in the arena nor in normal play.
Purify is a new spell for priests that costs 2 mana. The spell silences a friendly minion and allows the priest to draw a card.
The issues with this card are quite obvious. It costs 2 mana and is even less versatile than “Silence,” which is already included in the priest’s basic set. So for 2 mana, you sacrifice the ability to silence an enemy minion and receive in return the option to draw a card – a pretty bad deal, almost all players think.
Ben Brode has now commented on this issue and released a new “Designer Insights” video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7nlHXPLqU
Basically, Brode agrees with the accusations and even admits that the developers made a mistake. However, he sees some possibilities for how priests can emerge stronger from the expansion. If that does not succeed, adjustments will be made in future expansions. The developers know that priests are currently at the lower end of the meta, both in the arena and in general, but they did not want to further enhance the “Silence” mechanic after it was just recently made more expensive.
In general, it should be noted that not every card in Hearthstone should be “powerful,” but many serve a pure fun factor. How exactly that is supposed to be possible with “Purify” remains to be seen.
Perhaps all these worries are unfounded, and in two months we will all shake our heads wondering how we could underestimate this card – so far, it does not seem so.

Soon the “Battlefield 1” beta will start, but how can you even participate?
The fans of Battlefield 1 are particularly excited about the Gamescom 2016 . It is expected that during the EA Gamescom show, many news and details about the game will be revealed. The German Battlefield community manager Sebastian Moritz said in an interview that the Battlefield 1 beta would start shortly after Gamescom . If you register as an insider, you get access to the beta before “normal” players.
Register as a Battlefield Insider
The Battlefield insider program offers many benefits for you. For example, you will receive in-game rewards, exclusive content, and also early access to the public beta of Battlefield 1. To participate in the Battlefield insider program, you only need to register on the official website with your EA account and then click on a confirmation code in an email that you will receive.
Check the box for your preferred platform on which you want to play the Battlefield beta: PC, Xbox One, or PS4. Then you are registered as an insider and just have to wait patiently for EA to provide us with more information.
The current information on what to expect in the Battlefield 1 beta is summarized by YouTuber Westie in a video. Among other things, Westie compares the Battlefield 1 beta with the development of Battlefield 4 and hopes that the beta will include a second map. With a second map, there would be more variety in the open beta, as the map “Quentin’s Scar” has already been extensively shown in the previous gameplay videos of Battlefield 1.

At Destiny we summarize all the information you need to know about account import on August 16. This affects all platforms: PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
In one week it will happen: Starting August 16, 2016, the account import can be performed in Destiny. Future Destiny updates and content will only be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from then on.
The last-gen consoles, PS3 and Xbox 360, will be considered “old consoles” from this date on, which will only receive minor updates in case of major issues. Thus, “The Rise of Iron” will also run exclusively on the current-gen consoles.
For this reason, all Destiny accounts need to perform a one-time account import when they first log in to PS4 or Xbox One after this date.
Everyone must perform an account import on PS4 and Xbox One
Through the account import, all your data, including character data, progress, gear, and inventory, purchased Silver and Eververse licenses will be transferred from the old console to the current console – within the same console family.
Any progress made on the old console after this import will not be transferable. After the import, progress will proceed on parallel paths. The following image illustrates this:
Note: All existing accounts must perform the one-time account import. Even if you have only played on PS4 or Xbox One until now, you must accept the import dialog when you log in for the first time after August 16. After performing the import, you can continue playing as usual.
Important: The transfer of data is only possible for consoles within the same console family. You can only transfer data from PS3 to PS4 and from Xbox 360 to Xbox One.
Performing the import in Destiny
As soon as the import can be performed starting August 16, you will see an “Account Import” dialog when you log in for the first time on PS4 or Xbox One.
You accept the dialog and the account import begins.
You must accept the dialog, otherwise you cannot play Destiny on PS4 or Xbox One.
Attention: The import cannot be repeated. It is a one-time process. If you are not ready for the import yet, you can also close the dialog. You will then return to the title screen.
More information about the account import:
Currently, there is no deadline for how long you can postpone the account import. However, it does not have to be done directly on August 16.
It is not required to purchase “The Taken King” or “The Rise of Iron” for the account import. More information can be found on the official Bungie page.
The founder of Hello Games, Sean Murray, recommends the following 5 things to keep in mind as you start your journey in No Man’s Sky.
Tomorrow, on 10th August, it finally begins. Then the kickoff will sound in Europe on PS4, and all brave explorers can explore the gigantic galaxy of No Man’s Sky.
So you won’t get lost right away in the seemingly boundless vastness of space at your start, Sean Murray gives you five recommendations. This should give beginner explorers better chances of survival. We present them in the following guide.

You begin your journey on an alien planet – with each of you “waking up” on a different planet. You will see a destroyed ship that is right next to you. Your first task will be to get this ship running so you can visit other planets.
For this, you need to gather resources – you already have your multi-tool for that – craft technologies and combine various elements. This way you create the items you need to repair the ship.
2. Make Sure You Can Survive
Many planets are inhabited by hostile creatures. If you just wander around, you will quickly bite the dust – or whatever vegetation you find on the planet. Additionally, some climate conditions are extremely hostile to life. Therefore, enhance your suit with resources. It may also be that you start on such a planet. Then your life will be “a bit harder”.
3. Upload Your Experiences
According to Murray, players should not forget to upload their experiences on their first planet. One is so focused on repairing the ship and finally being able to explore space that one might forget the upload.
Here he adds that in the beginning there is no rush. You can leisurely explore the first planet. You still have enough time to travel the universe.
4. Visit Other Planets
During the beginning, you are not yet able to make interstellar journeys. You still lack the technologies for that. You first need a “hyperdrive” engine to overcome extreme distances. Therefore, you want to visit other planets and space stations to find what you’re looking for. By the way, you also need fuel for the “hyperdrive” technology, which you have to craft.
5. Explore the Entire Universe
Murray’s last tip is simply this: as soon as you can travel long distances, do so. He has seen people stay over 10 hours in the first solar system. Be brave and venture far out.
When does your journey in No Man’s Sky begin? Are you getting the game?

The melee game For Honor will offer extensive content even for multiplayer skeptics.
For Honor is one of the most anticipated games expected at the beginning of next year. With stunning E3 trailers and fresh gameplay, the Ubisoft game received strong reviews across the board.
For Honor places a great focus on the online aspect. There will be several PvP modes in which you will compete against each other and bash each other in brutal sword fights.
Because according to Ubisoft employee Ubi_SpaceElephant, all PvP modes can also be played against bots. He announced this via reddit. This way, you can also practice the modes before you venture into multiplayer combat.
For Honor will be released on February 14, 2017 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
A bug in Lúcioball of Overwatch causes frustration among players. Blizzard now threatens all those who exploit this error with account penalties.
Lúcioball – only without Lúcio
Currently, the first seasonal event is taking place in Overwatch, the Summer Games 2016. These not only brought exclusive skins, emotes, and other cosmetic frills, but also the temporary game mode “Lúcioball”. Here, players can duel in a specially created arena in 3v3 matches – but not with weapons, rather with an oversized soccer ball. As the name of the game mode suggests, only Lúcios face off against each other, whose abilities have been altered so that they can push the ball (and players) across the field.
However, there is also a bug in this mode that occasionally assigns some players a different character. For example, it has happened that suddenly Bastion or Widowmaker were on the field and simply shot down the opposing Lúcios.
Shortly after the bug became known, some players tried to find the cause of this error – and were successful. Thus, it is specifically possible to play Lúcioball with a character other than Lúcio, which mercilessly ruins the fun for the other 5 teammates.
Blizzard has no understanding for exploiting this bug, and Jeff Kaplan has already commented in the forum:
“We apologize for this error. We have tried to fix it several times, but some issues make this difficult. We hope to have a fix for it this week.
In the meantime, we are working with our support team to take action against those who knowingly and repeatedly exploit this bug to play as other heroes than Lúcio.
Please do not exploit this bug. This is a fair warning.”
So it is probably only a matter of time before Blizzard imposes the first account penalties. So stay clean out there and play Lúcioball as it was intended by the developers.

The highly anticipated online game No Man’s Sky is starting and you will finally be able to explore a vast universe. One of the first questions will be: How do I get resources like Heredium or Zinc?
In the game, gathering resources is also on the agenda. Without mining them, you won’t get very far in the game. If you find an object, like a rock or a tree, you can extract a resource like iron or carbon from it. Resources, in turn, are divided into chemical elements that serve different purposes. Isotopes, for example, are needed for fuel, silicates for crafting upgrades.
How to get resources
You start in No Man’s Sky with just a few resources, but there are plenty of resources on the starting planet. You should definitely mine these! To do this, you go on an exploration tour and look around in the landscape. If you discover something that is blinking, it should catch your attention, as it is usually a resource that you can mine with the multi-tool you carry. To do this, aim and fire the tool at the object. Depending on its size, it may take a little time to get the resources from it.
If you find a rock, for example, you mine iron and also receive oxides. You need these for constructing and loading defense technologies. In other words, you will then make plates from the iron to armor your spaceship.
Many worlds, many resources
Mined resources go directly into your inventory. Crafting also takes place in the inventory. On an empty slot, you can create the object displayed there – provided you have the necessary resources in the required amount. If your ship needs four armor plates, they will occupy four slots in the inventory. You then click on “Create product” there, select the plate, and if you have collected the necessary resources, it will be produced.
Diverse objects yield you different resources. Sometimes you only have to stand next to a plant and simply choose “collect” to receive the resources “within it”; sometimes you have to fire your multi-tool at a monolith for a long time to obtain very rare resources. Not every resource is present on every planet. Therefore, you explore space to discover worlds where you can find new and rare resources. Some substances like Emeril you trade at space stations for money, others like Heredium you need to operate your ship’s pulse drive.
Be sure to collect 25 carbon (from organic objects like plants) and 20 iron (from ore) right at the beginning. This way, you can activate your scanner and analysis visor, which makes it easier for you to recognize objects. This should make collecting resources easier.
How to quickly get Iridium
YouTuber Spartan Sarge reveals a farming method for quickly obtaining the resource Iridium. For this, you go into the depths of space and look out for larger asteroids. You destroy these with your spaceship’s weapon and watch as the Iridium gushes into your inventory.
