No Man's Sky Frontiers - Biggest Tips & Tricks To NOT Ruin Your SETTLEMENT + New Base Building Tips 

I am afraid in one of those settlements we will find an alien wearing a cowboy hat telling us about other settlements that needs our help.

I got EXTREMELY lucky. Not only did it spawn on my home world with my main base (paradise planet with no sentinels and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a storm on this planet either) and it’s RIGHT NEXT TO MY BASE. Like literally over the hill I can spawn an exo craft and be there in 10 seconds. Freaken awesome.

I was one of the sad people who bought this game in the pre-sale. I'm so happy they continued to work on this game. It was pretty empty at launch, but I'm now returning years later and having a blast. If only the devs weren't so rushed, this game would have been huge. I wish more people would give this game a second chance.

This update is pretty much where I want it to be, every update just makes this game better for me, now all we need is Rivers and streams maybe waterfalls

A really cool future feature that they could easily add in a later update is the ability to start your own settlement rather than claim one. You'll be able to place it wherever you want and grow.

I started a new save last night because of the update, and scored big time. Paradise planet in the starting system. Zero sentinels, very rare storms, buried tech modules and salvage containers. Trees give carbon and oxygen, rocks give ferrite dust and carbon. And it has sweet cave systems. I can't wait to find a settlement on it and see if there are any good resources to setup a farm for. Loving this update so far!

It was not an oversight to leave the old base parts in. It's in the patch notes that older players will still have them, but new players (and new saves) will not be able to learn them.

Actually i got my first settlement on a planet with frequent snowstorms but i really like that. It truly gives the vibe of trying to survive in the frontier.

I think the settlements in wild environment planets should be in a bio dome, or the game should give you an option to make bio domes

Nice boardwalks, definitely doing that today. I am in a T3 booming Gek system, posted to reddit. I'll keep updating my village to show progression from C to S and check back here with you as well. Good stuff as always friend!

NMS the game that keeps on giving. Looking forward to playing the update later.

I literally can't wait till pc modders remove the timers, or cut them down to something more reasonable and respectful to those of us who rarely get enough spare time to play.

Last year I built a really nice little base on an island, took several months off from playing the game, came back today to check out all the updates... The island is gone, my base is floating ten feet over the ocean surface. It looked nicer when there was an island, I'm a little disappointed.

Must be nice to see people enjoying the update. :’) my settlement has yet to give me a mission.

I'd love it if you could have more than one settlement. Apparently if you start a new settlement it resets the old one! All that work gone. The idea of the community busily making permanent settlements all over the universe really appeals to me. Hello get their worldbuilding done for free by the community 😜

In my experience, the Settlement navigation charts would ALWAS point to a settlement on a different planet to which I am standing. So to get the planet of my choice I just flew off to the next planet and activated it there. First time success, as to ten wasted tries standing on the planet of my choice.

I got lucky with the settlement planet. I'm still on my original game save and the first system I jumped to had a paradise planet with a settlement on it. Jumped in and the planet is fantastic, one of the better paradise planets I've found yet. Now I just have to get my settlement sorted out and happier, lol.

I would like to see the settlement system get a upgrade. Once you reach a certain point of positive progression you are given the opportunity to let the settlement take over itself and it grows into a city.

I could imagine that they later add the option for settlements to interact with other players settlements like trading routes or maybe warfare even.

not had lots of time to play as i dived in to test then decided to start a new save for a new community hopefully. I love the new wooden building parts, like the addition of settlements and hope they expand on it, seems to be a pattern, install new features then next they expand on them and beautify them. look forward to playing more

I am pretty much just experimenting with my first one, but this vid answers my questions about new ones. I wish we could actually START one. One per system would be good balancing, I think

Awesome thanks! Wish i knew this before i struggled building 3 buildings on my settlement planet with blizzards every 3 mins!

the only legacy part that I miss is the metal full glass wall. I love the floor to ceiling window, and I really don't see the option anymore with the new parts.

Ah, finally! A NMS video that is both instructive AND helpful. Thank you very much for this.

Great content mate just subbed to your channel look forward to seing more of your videos.

The only problem I have with settlements is that (at least for me at this current moment) they are pretty buggy. After switching to a different settlement and building the overseer office, the settlement/game wouldn’t allow me to create any new buildings, there wouldn’t be any NPC strangers offering settlement features, my settlement inhabitants wouldn’t have disputes, and even the sentinels wouldn’t attack. Basically my new settlement has basically turned into a unnaturally peaceful society that is in an ever growing pile of debt that can’t create any new buildings… until these bugs are fixed for me it is kind of a waste of time (again at least for me at this moment)

Easy like on your vid. You're guides have just been super solid and I appreciate your format and help.

Nice one Khraze, this is just what I needed thanks.

Hey Dude ;-) Thank you so much for all of your good work. I’m going to start a NEW NO MAN’S SKY game tonight. Keep on posting you’re a a Dude 👍👍👍

Wouldn't upgrading/adding buildings to your settlement delete base building that you do within the settlement boundaries?

As a single player enthusiast, the settlement really added a lot of life to the game and I can appreciate the "extra work". It feels very alive, natural and fun. The settlement never pesters you, except for when it's under attack, other than that, visit at your own leisure :)

Good review of base building. I'm impressed since it's only like the 3rd day after the update

To give more info on what you discussed about the old building parts. no, it was not an oversight, the devs sunsetted them, in other words, they are not fully removed from the game, but new ones cant be created, this way peoples old bases dont poof, and can be relics.

thx you man this help so much

If only I could use personal funds for the settlement :(. I could pump in 300million daily and I would still have above 3 billion. And with my farms I could make them more money.

The plant racks for carbon actually require no energy. Wire them in as normal, but do not give them power. They will still produce.

I got a okay settlement in a AMAZING location, it's on a ledge with a river going past it, it looks great

Thanks a million so much creativity and motive to game more

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER WITH THIS VIDEO! THANKS MAN!!!

Wow. Just the right video. Thanks a lot. I already claimed the first settlement and it's on a bad planet. In a bad stage. And the overseer's Office is bugged. There is a wall just before the door and if you squeeze in the main desk shares the same place with some other stuff. But now i can abandon this nightmare and find a better one. Yeah.

On my expedition save I found a a village next to an archive. It was perfect

0:40 If somebody could tell me how to get a ship like that, I would be mighty grateful! Looks sooo cool 😯

I got screwed over with my og settlement because it was on a extreme frozen planet with constant extreme storms nonstop. This vid helped me get a settlement on a nice rainy planet.

Making decisions from a freighter room would be nice, I get that they want people to go back often but warp (loading) times make it inconvenient.

You know, we get disappointed constantly as gamers. Most of the time it's when we build up things on our own like announced expansions. Like we get all excited guessing what will be coming. We usually end up getting something totally different than what we built up in our heads and wanted and it's disappointing as hell. Hello games has a almost unique way if giving us something completely different than our expectations but still wowing us and doing great job. I was hoping for more ship customization and other things. When I found out we didn't get what I wanted I was very good with what we got.

I was a bit afraid of spoilers in this video..but you executed this very nicely. Tbh the settlement structure build times are a bit long. But its not the end of the world. I love the new landing pad. Its so cheap...

A nice thing, if no one noticed, is finally being able to hit V and being able to place an auction terminal and not have to glitch in 30 steps to do so.

Thanks for making this! My current settlement sucks so bad. First thing I’m doing when I play today is finding a new settlement, my current one won’t profit no matter what I do to it, and it has bad sentinel activity, and weather… and the planet is pretty boring in general lol! It’s like 200k in debt and isn’t turning up

Have you done a Video yet on how to place floors within settlement area without grass/vegetation growing through? My OCD can't stand it when I see the vegetation still showing through it after I place a floor. Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos, much appreciated 👍

i am new to this game and I really appreciate the ideas. I discovered a paradise planet that I really enjoy and knowing that I can claim a settlement there is very exciting! Thank you very much!

So I had an interesting thing happen with my settlement. I got the mission (similar to everyone else), went there, and the settlement was absolutely atrocious, on a different star system than the one i have my home world in and on inhabitable planet. That bummed me out, so I just decided to completely ignore it. The mission lingered on and on, until eventually I decided to revisit it to see if I can maybe accept the settlement and then imminently retire. To my surprise the settlement was no longer there, but was moved straight to my beautiful paradise planet that i built my base on and the most dangerous thing that happens are the toxic plants and unactive sentinels. And once I got there, it was somehow inserted as a square looking crater which was surrounded by caves on its ridges. So I took that as an opportunity to make a big ass base inside of a very long cave overlooking the entire settlement. I must have got extremely lucky for that to happen lol

Wow, that's extremely helpful!

I miss the sub menu... if only we had 2 versions of the build menus.

Hey @KhrazeGaming your videos are really informative and help me enjoy the game more! I wanted to know if you edit your own videos or do you have help?

One thing we really need is the ability to place down npc’s or citizens to make any base we have feel more inhabited.

I would really like to have some sort of defensive options for the settlement.

If you use the time glitch, the maths rolls backwards when the time resets to normal. So your class drops and if your production is less than your maintenance else you'll be in a negative balance.

After getting the update, I booted up my game and was alerted to a settlement needing my help. I landed on a VOLCANIC/Firestorm planet finding a Gek settlement. B-ranked. Currently working on building it up until I can find an A or S ranked settlement.

i built my BASE at another abandoned building near my settlement. further than you suggest, but ive discovered a lot more stuff on my planet with that distance in between.

Thanks for the tips!

The fact that this isn't even 4.00 absolutely amazes me

Nice... I have a 5 year old save with all the old stuff unlocked. Last played when they added living ships. Guess it's a good time to return.

Creative mode player here. Update broke the door ramps for new bases. They won't link to a holographic door. Can't do much with settlements either.

I never thought No Man's Sky would interest me and then this happened. The settlement system looks like a really cool start to something incredible. If they were to expand the settlement building and settlement defense, I think I'd be all over it. I'd love to be able to build defensive structures and walls and maybe even get the citizens to defend with me.

Made one of those rock walls with the garage door on it. Hooked it up to my power grid and it closed and would not open while hooked up to the grid

Man that first settlement layout looks just👌🏻

for those who relocated to another settlement. Did you get a build mission or did you have to resolve a dispute right after building your command center? mine is built but I do not have any tasks to do at the new settlement for the moment. wondering if it is a bug or if I just have to wait. On the first settlement the missions to build your first building (after the command center) and resolving a dispute came pretty quickly, like in the first hour of arriving at the settlement.

I'm glad I found this video because I ended up getting a settlement on an abandoned planet that experiences hot temperature, combustible dust and extreme fire storms. My settlers just be chillin like "this is fine".

Regarding building, I like most of the updates, but I can't figure out how to rotate pieces vertically. R1 and L1 only rotate left or right, but I don't know how to angle it otherwise.

Started playing this game a couple of weeks ago. Had no idea I'd be given a freighter and a settlement...

I got my settlement in my home base planet, a lovely patch of dirt in sky called halcyon prime. It's B class if you want to know and very near to my base, just 20 minutes drive using a exocraft. It's alright now, i think because we are making money & finished building our first market 😊😊😊

great video.. much needed

sometimes when the settlement map refuses to work, i found that flying into the atmosphere (not into space) and using it worked

I actually chose a cold hoth-like planet to get that desolated outpost vibe

my self rule with nms updates is to wait at least 2 weeks to try it, devs fix a lot of stuff in that time. also i want to paint my ship.

When I tried the old small colored lights on the walls of new stone walls they didn’t light up. Also they sink into the wall…

Lol I'm just starting a new game to enjoy all this new stuff. I have my space fairing, economy wreaking Kachillionaire character, and now a humble overseer character. It feels like two completely different campaigns at this point lol

if you play a lot per day it is easy to get production over maintenance. just takes a little more time. i got mine to class A within a few days. mine is producing cactus flesh and star silk. 100% happiness, 1,000,000 production. it can go up to 24 hours per production, yes.

Mine spawned on a planet with extreme sentinel activity, basically everytime I get there I get into awful fights with them 😂

So i learned quite a bit here but i have one question. Idk if it was answered and i missed it, but is there a way to remove negative status effects? I refused some warning to heed as my 1st citizen interaction and now there's a "constant electronic noise" affecting my settlement.

The only issue I have with the building update is with the new corner roofing, you will fall through to a hitbox inside the actual item you placed. This also makes it more difficult to place fixtures on the interior of the same corner roof. Just breaks my immersion a bit. I haven't played in a while, so idk if this is fixed or not, and its not a huge issue, just something that was bugging me a bit.

If i find a better settlement and want to be the overseer there instead do i lose any progress from the previous settlement or does it transfer over?

So I had a very nice settlement pop up like a 20 sec ship ride away from my main settlement- I worked it up until I had to wait 4 hours for my landing pad to build. So I logged out and didn't play for a day- got on yesterday and the settlement had completely disappeared. I still have the quest in my log but no marker at all. Apparently they're in dire need of my assistance from sentinels now but I have no way to find them 😔 Might try that settlement chart trick and see if that might fix the glitch

7:32 is there a way to remove those lines/windows entirely from automatically being made into the wall?

You can also just move the base computer in editing mode now, no need to build anything around it. Just move it inside and place it where you want.

I never got into base building but now I think I have to.

what im working on the first planet it gave me. learning a bit. then once i get these guys back on their feet im gonna go to an actual planet i want

What is the 'reason' for wanting a village on your own home planet? in the beginning you'll fly there so with the distance between your base and the village you will always need to go up in space. and in the later game you will teleport between them constantly. so I don't see a reason except for the 'i like the environment of planet X better" which is totally fine though, but not really game breaking right...

I bought this game when it originally came out, now I cant even recognize it lol, I should’ve keep playing.

Do the different building materials have different benefits or do they just look different. Like wood walls compared to alloy walls.

I kept spamming thr quest across multiple system. Finally I got it to be on a freezing storm planet. So easy access to storm crystals. Storms do not effect the settlement, and settlement provides shelter from storm as does my minotaur mech.

You can research old legacy structures on the space anomaly but I suggest to use the new ones most importantly for the auto doors

I would love if you can manage different settlements in different systems, maximum 3 or 5

Nice. I don't need to bury my base computer under ground anymore.

I found my settlement right on my home planet which is tropic. B class settlement with diplos, walkers and an artifact station thing beside it. Couldnt be better😎

I got my first settlement up to S class, but it was on a terrible acid planet so I just abandoned it for a new one on a almost paradise planet.

Khraze can you help me out? Love your channel much love. When I go to build the cantina and bring Ferite dust to the build sight it won’t let me deliver it? What’s the deal?

My settlement is on a paradise planet!!, though sadly my home world is in a complete different system lol

I haven't gotten a settlement, yet. I am really just playing the story right now.

Not sure I follow your logic @10:27. If it was just a matter of including electrical power conduction in the structural elements, it's trivial for hellogames to just add that to the original building pieces. It seems that they might have actually done that because the new parts that do conduct electricity also work with the old ones.
