My Best Suit Upgrade Setup In No Man's Sky | Beginners Guide 2022 

Something a lot of people don't realize is that your Hazard Protection regenerates if you have the Upgrade powered. I've noticed people pop in a fresh battery as soon as the shield needs recharging. Wait until your Hazard Protection is at 10-15% and then pop the battery. You're recharging both shields with just that one consumable. That's the real benefit of the Hazard upgrades.

Been playing for a year, and FINALLY someone explains it's 3+ the blueprint in each inventory.... Must have watched 100 vids and this is the first that spelled it out. Thanks Jason, this is why I subscribe!!

NOTE FOR NEW PLAYERS- Things have changed! As of this comment you can no longer put upgrades in General. This means you are limited to just 3 upgrades and they all must be in Technology. This also goes for Ships and Multi-Tools

The only downside to the backpack refiner is the annoying sound it makes while refining 9999 units of living slime into nanites

As someone whos been playing for only one week, you broke this down so well. The placement, where and how to get certain upgrades. Literally a perfect guideline for me since i just unlocked all slots in my exosuit. My next goal will be to max out multi tool and exosuit. Much love man, subbed

I don't think I've ever played a game w/ a more counter intuitive upgrade system. Great video!

I’m gonna be honest, my first 150 hours on my new main save I didn’t even touch the personal refiner. I was sleeping on a legendary piece of technology people, don’t be like me! Cheers Jason, awesome video!

This was sooooooo helpful. I was a bit lost about how to beat situate my upgrades and stuff. Thank you for the video and explaining it so well and clearly 🙏🏽

Thanks a bunch, Jason! This was great, and I learned some stuff. Would love to see tutorials for the starship and multi tool as well.

TIP FOR BEGINNERS: Find instructional videos that are more up to date. You will be confused after watching old ones like this if you are new to the game.

Thankies for the great tip! :D

Subbed finally! Really enjoy your channel and have for a long time. You're a great source of guidance for min/maxing setups and other tips/tricks. I bought pre-release on ps4 back in the day and have been playing since then. Recently purchased a new copy for my PC so that's been fun. Maybe I'll save some space and remove a few protection upgrades as I can see your point.

Thanks for a very detailed video Jason!

Very useful video, thanks!

you're the BEST Jason! glad you make such good content.

Thanks J. Even though I had my ship weapons in an L shape I learned that what touches what is important too. I was able to get more power by making a small adjustment.

Thank you for these tips. Had no idea crazy!!

I guess one "benefit" to having the blueprint freeze protect and say two S class upgrades is you would have longer before having to refill. Basically: instead of say a 1 minute before you weren't protected from severe cold to 2 minutes. But, as you said, and the way I look at it, it doesn't take too long to pop in/use a battery to refill anyways; it isn't worth giving up the inventory slots. Unless of course you spend a lot of time on really hard planets. However, I do run with two of the under water "protections"/air things as for whatever reason there isn't a quick menu for recharge your underwater stuff like there is for the other protections.

swap positions of Jetpack so it's central to the other upgrades. The other upgrades all require the Jetpack base as Main item, so if you place this in the middle you get more connections per side, all linked to the main. 123 456 789 5 would be the main JETPACK 2,4,6,8 Are the Main upgrade slots to use. "S" 1,3,7,9 are where you place "A","B","C" Class X CLASS are exception, depending on quality of the boosts they give depends if they get a S class position or a "A" class position You can work this into 2 rows of 3, where 1,4,5,7, 4 would be JETPACK so you get a T shape (rotated) The "T" layout can be tiled and actually fits quite well to fit inventory with little unconnected :) This is how it used to work a few patches back, but I don't think it's changed any... Hope this makes sense (and is still correct!) "Jetpack" was just used as example

Thanks alot for useful tips!

thank you so much for explaining this and going into detail..

THIS IS AWESOME THANKS

Jason, love your channel. I found a 'new' way to make a ton of units and am passing it on in case you want to make a video about it. It is: 'Gravitino Thief', and it works with the new release. The set up is simple: First, get a map to a Sentinel Nest. Next, find a planet with reasonable weather and aggressive sentinels (with gravitino balls). Go to the Sentinel Nest and deactivate the sentinels. Build a minimal base there so you can easily return. Run around collecting the now unguarded gravitino balls. Sell them - I usually get 8-10 million units per visit; the limiting factor is how many you can carry or stuff in an exocraft or freighter.

i learned so much in this video thanks

I just started playing NMS and its AWESOME!!! This helps me soooo much for the newbie that I am! Thank you!! 🤓

Thanks for all the info as always Jason. This sounds like it need checked out: Hyperspace Navigation Stations gives 16 hexadecimal digits which translate as a portal code. [Any Hyperspace Navigation Stations found in the same system as each other will always broadcast the same coordinates.] [There's speculation that if you keep following the path it will lead to something. Every system that one of these leads to, also has this space encounter in it - meaning that you can keep following the directions they give]

Great video!

thanks for the guide!

Hey Jason! Whats up with finishing expedition 5? It doesn't convert , using a ps4 pro? How does this work?

I wonder if you can take your main tech and arrange the upgrades in a plus formation to get even more out of it.

Great video Jason. Also, I would advise new players, or remind others, that you should keep your favorite upgrades in the Tech slot. Especially those Seeds. When they open a new galaxy and get transported, the tech upgrades and blueprints don't break but the ones in the general inventory do. You can fix them, but it's still a pain. Again, great videos!

I wish they had the stats on the right, like in the multi-tool and ship. I have found if I put the base item, then the best upgrades in a plus sign formation around the basic item, like the boltcaster. With moving things around you can see the numbers go up and down. It seems to be less than the box option.

I just started a month ago and I don’t see any tabs for general/technology etc. did they get rid of that?

This video really help me a lot Thumbs Up

I've been playing for a long time, and I clicked on this vid thinking oh I already know about all the upgrades I won't need this... I learned some new stuff haha, I was wrong!

How do the PLUS signs in the circles work? I have three WHITE plus signs and 9 total (six greyed out).

12:15 Can you explain what those do? I have both, and don’t know how they benefit me individually or adjacently.

That's what got me curious at 1st.. just started playing and wasn't sure if there was a difference between the general and technology slots because the squares lit up no matter where I placed it.

yo early! Thanks for the setup. Great video!

Would you change any of this in a permadeath/survival save?

Does this apply to permadeath as well?

This has been very helpful video, I did however managed to know these buffs before, or at least, to a degree. Seeing how they all lid up in to different color boxes as you added the same type together, explains itself that they are being buffed or something. Watching similar videos like these to understand how to properly adjust them to their fullest potential. @Jason, one thing I noticed you kind of did wrong and could've done better is by having the (?) 2 marker boxes put in to the tech storage and have the red balls that you get from story line, be in your basic storage, that way you can have up to 5 more oxygen and other buffs to that on, than 3. The same way as you did with jetpack and shields. Just add another 2 of (?) boxes (Name isn't coming to mind yet) in to tech tree and you got even better buff going on. With the backpack refinery, I personally use portable, it's the same thing, except I can place one down and not have that annoying sound follow me around/or when I am in the mood of and turn sound off while listening to chill music, I can have 2 of that running when needed, as they say, two heads are better than one. Kek.

I get that this is about maxing out your suit's upgrades but to be honest I'm not sure I need quite that many jetpack boosts. I ended up saving a bunch of slots in my suit's general tab by not placing any jetpack upgrades there. Instead I have 5 jetpack items in my technology tab & that feels like plenty. Fantastic video though, I learned a lot. Thank you.

Did they nerf the positron ejector or something? In my Exotic I have the exact same layout you had it in, but it’s only at 21,211 DPS, lower than when you spread your upgrades out.

I'm having an issue where I'm trying to move the upgrades to see which ones are better but then they go gray like for storage or something and I can't really see what the attributes are to compare the upgrades of new at this game so I'm trying to figure everything out

I don't even have the "general" category on my suit, only "technology" and "cargo". How do you get this?

Thank you

I wish they would let you move the tabs around so you can have the Cargo tab in the front and have it be filled first *OR* expand the tech slots and let all the tech fit in it. All they have to do for it is make a max number of connected and total upgrades or even just let the bonuses add up to crazy levels.

I can't believe I didn't know that it's three upgrades per tab, not three upgrades total...best video ever! ;)

How many black market upgrades can you have? Do they also follow the 3 per technology rule?

This guide has helped me ,my friend sent this video to me

Damn J I heard u tha best This is the way !

What did u put in ur tec on ur ship ????

Did this to my squid ship with pulsedrives and launch thrusters(both add boost) then used the little bobble heads that add boost, stacked the two (artemus and polo) and my ship goes 31,000 u/s when I hold down the boost button 😁

They need to make technology tab able to have more inventory for upgrades so the upgrades don’t clog up your main inventory

Im curious why you didnt place the X Class Hazard Modules so they are touching your Basic 2 Hazard Modules? You could easily move those around so they touch

Thanks, I had no idea 😅

Having multiple upgrades for hazard protection is better as they each individually drain, so having two will drain one, then the second. This allows you survive extreme storms for a while

Thanks

You can only have a maximum of 9 core health. The 3 S-Class defense modules in your Tech tab would be better replaced with 3 4-stat Glass modules. Both types have Core Health and Shield Strength, but glass has 2 more beneficial stats. The Star Seed, with only a single Core Health stat, is the weakest defense upgrade and completely vestigial. I don't know what the adjacency bonus with Remembrance does and if it's even worth keeping installed. Since you're playing on controller, you might notice that every time you open your inventory the cursor is on the 8th box in the third row. Instead of arranging your components top to bottom, I recommend arranging them left to right. Why have the cursor default to a space that you're never going to click on instead of something that you will use/move/refine?

Jason you should do a video about the no man's sky quicksilver glitch. To do it, go to the space anomaly, buy some stuff from the quicksilver shop, then reload your auto save, and then, they will be free to collect when you reload your autosave. And then keep on doing the same thing till you buy all of them. Forgot to mention, your quicksilver will be back when you reload.

I use three underwater upgrades. Each adds 100% for 300% total (not 800%). They each need to be charged individually, but allow me to swim like a fish. I’ve tried multiple thermals and they work the same way, but are not worth the space taken up. A single upgrade (except underwater) works fine.

Why not put also x class hazard protection and sentinel upgrades in tehnology tab?

3 Hazard protection modules of each type provide longer protection in hazardous environments, they each drain separately

I Bought the game at release but got quickly bored with it and left, just got back into the game now this month after it's gone through all it's new upgrades and content and really enjoying it, This guide is really helpful and told me exactly what I needed to know as the game didn't explain it fully.

I just recently started playing the game and have been looking up some guides to help explain some aspects of the game that aren't explained. I clicked on this video and the "Beginners Guide" part of the title was a little misleading lol. I'll have to remember to come back to this video after I'm a hundred hours or so further into the game.

10:32 that is the best sentenal upgrade I've seen and I've gone through a couple of hundred to get my setup as good as I can. I've got 3 with shield and health at over 30% each but the other 2 stats are meh.

So I'm new player, and I don't have any of those other tabs..I'm playing the sentil update... Can I have a little help? Is this a bug? Any help will be appreciated

Do you need the c grade blueprint and the upgrade s module in order for it to work?

Huh. I beat the story years ago now but didn't get the Rememberance, haven't been able to figure out how how get it either

Man Jason, you always just like showing off all your upgrades :P lol Just messin; but, I am just enough of a hoarder with material that I'm not sure I could ever want to give up that much of my main storage for upgrades >< lol Maybe one day. I always do carry around too much stuff, I'm sure. lol

I have a question about painting your freighter using an Xbox controller. I Can paint parts of it but the freighter black.i want to.paint it blue .but it won't paint the whole freighter

I never knew about the 3 in tech tab, I sold so many s upgrades

13:17 Bro what was that noise you made? 😂😂😂 I keep playing it back trying to figure it out

Great video again man. Always learn something new. What does the Remembrance and Star Seed do exactly? I played through the mission a few times thinking I’d done something wrong, as I’m not sure what to do with them? And the mission still stays active, which I thought would end once complete? Thanks

Do you really need all 3 translators? Is the s translator enough? Or is it better with the other 2 installed as well.

I found a good way to get X or black market upgrades if you have a lot of units you go to an outlaw system and find a trading outpost and buy the boxes.

I wasn't sure having S upgrades in each inventory will enhance the perf. thank you ;)

So if you didn't do the leviathan quest does that mean you can't get living frigates I have done, lost count now after 130+ frigate mission no dream tech to find the living frigate out of luck not everyone could do the leviathan expo

You can put 3 more black market hazard protection mods in the technology tab.

i hope i understood the video correctly but if you want as many upgrades touching the sides of the main unit then wouldnt it be better to move the positron ejector down one and have the three s classes touching all three possible sides with the b class in the corner? (same config, ejector moved down one and b class in top left corner of the formation)

are you related to food wishes???

Hey Jason. Jason here lol. So the underwater blueprint I have 2 of them which both say 100% this actually gives me an extra layer of protection before it hits my health bar. If that makes sense. Like for each one you have that icon is visible above your health bar when your ur underwater. I have 2 of those icons.

The only thing I got from this max my cargo before I start warping and enjoying the actual gameplay

Question: do the translators give you knowledge of the words or do they just interpret for each statement?

How do get your items stacks so big!? Is it like a upgrade or something cuase my max stack size for example gold is 250 but yours is 3,400. Or is is it the game mode you are in? (I play in survival)

I started playing No Man's Sky and I don't think there's a general storage to put upgrades in

I don't got the option of general, tech, cargo tabs it just show my technology and cargo why mines not showing it did they patched this?

I've got a 34% shield upgrade from the glass!

Is there a video about the best ship setup?

you can have +3 sentinel upgrades in technology inventory

For specifically 3 items, L isn't better than a line -- In both cases, placing the best item where it gets 2 adjacent-buffs is correct, and equivalent gain.

since the new update, the general tab has been taking out, you now have tech and cargo.

my advice befor one enters a new galaxy 1 have a ship and multi tool for that purpose with minimal equipment and no mods same multi tool for character return them to storage so you can avoid repairing them. it will save resource and time.

Omg lmao I been playing for a year or 2 and wow I never bothered with all the blueprints and upgrades cos I need inventory space totally didn’t see how valuable the cargo space is

3 Forbidden upgrade in your General and 3 in your Technology. I've fit six. I don't have any water defence

You still could get a much better setup if you change the positions to more efficiency.

I see behind the exo suit research person there is an exo suit storage upgrade u can buy

There is a current glitch for me with the quicksilver system, if I purchase something from the quicksilver store in the nexus then reload the auto save without saving after the purchase, when I go back to the store the item says available and I can purchase it again without spending any quicksilver. Then get into ship, save, rinse and repeat to acquire everything without spending a single quicksilver! lol
