(OUTDATED) No Man’s Sky: Base Building Tips, How to Glitch Build and Create Circular Bases in Beyond 

Some of this outdated! While most of it is relevant I recommend checking out Beeblebum for new techniques on circles as well as a third method for placing parts called “the blender glitch”. ru-vid.com

Now I know absolutely nothing about programming or game design and not much about glitch building either, but I’ve always wondered why hello games doesn’t just allow you to place the base building parts in any way you want so glitch building wouldn’t be needed? This would make it a lot easier for the average player to figure out how to use the parts in really cool ways, and hello games would avoid all the controversy when ever they accidentally ‘fix’ a glitch building technique.

I've watched several videos on glitching tonight and you explained it best by far, thank you.

First off, Amazing Video. From a professional Instructor, your technique of utilizing visual aids with clear explanations is flawless. Also showing not only how things work, but how it looks when it doesn't is very useful. Hands down my favorite for understanding sizing. Your display, for explaining 5/4/8 & 3/6/4/8 rules is without a doubt the absolute best example utilizing visual aids. Additionally, showing how to do the same thing more than once, gives the viewers the opportunity to absorb the information and process it. Finally, the use of the same terms (i.e;5/4/8) throughout the video cements the information into the viewers thoughts, there by reducing confusion. Your attention to detail is noticeable and commendable. Post point; damn you have a lot of free time. Cheers

Oh I watched the whole thing 👍👍👍

Master builder imparts essential techniques. Fantastic.

The nms community is so nice. I convinced my brother to play No Mans Sky and after about 9 hours someone gave him 5 stasis devices which were collectively worth 78 million. I’ve often been given stuff and given stuff myself. One time this other guy was gifted 5 stasis devices and was then gifted 20 wiring loom, and then I gave him an amount of gold worth 1 million units, and then he got given 9999 activated indium. Best gaming community ever in opinion.

excellent tutorial.. many thx.. and in general big thx to jc, Kibbles, ERB, ApG.. l watched a lot of your content over the last two weeks.. you inspired me that much, so l began to make my first steps in glitch-building, a few days ago..

So glad you show having trouble getting the wire glitch. nice to know it is not just me.

I don’t know what you can teach me but I like it. So far I’ve had A LOT OF TROUBLE loading bases where I attempt skyscrapers.

I'm going to watch it over again a few times. Thanks for the way you have explained it and going a bit slower than some others that I have watched,subbed as well so more please.

Dayummm hope you come back to this, think this year or maybe next year no man sky gonna get more popular, great video 👌

Superb job! Particularly the clarity, examples, pacing and, quite important, the tone of voice.

I was about to give up building in NMS but luckely i did find your vid. Great stuff!

Great explanations, thanks a ton. I had figured out adjacent glitching myself but didn't know how people were getting such round and dome like structures. Now I do!

"Orient as a verb means to "find direction" or "give direction." The noun form of this kind of orienting is orientation. Sometimes people in their speech will form an imagined verb from orientation and say orientate. At best, orientate is a back-formation used humorously to make the speaker sound pompous." For future reference. Just annoyed me a bit. However, fantastic video!!! This helped me quite a lot :)

Awesome video. Patience is a virtue. If one wishes to learn new things an hour is definitely worth watching.

Thanks for credit! And this is a much needed video!!!

What an absolute masterclass in base building techniques and I could listen to your voice all day. I have been playing NMS since April 2017 (off and on) with 900+ hrs to date and I really love this game since the BEYOND update. You would make a excellent instructor in any subject simply because of your “show and tell” attitude and with no annoying adverts to interrupt your masterclass. Thank you [liked and subscribed] Mike

Thank you so much for putting all of the techniques into one video! You've broken down many doors and roadblocks I was hitting. I love building, but just couldn't wrap my mind around getting those super snazzy structures.

Awesome video, l've only been playing NMS since Beyond, but I've spent most of that time base building, all this info in the one spot is a huge help. Also, your video on Fan Hauler's was where I first saw my main ship, so thanks for that also.

Clear and concise as usual. I'm glad they fixed the interference issue since last patch.

Massive! I can't wait to try these things. Thanks a lot for creating this.

this video teach me how to build some time has passed since i first watched it and helps me to remember the basics , thank you so much!

I appreciate the video. Bought this game yesterday thanks to a discount on the PSstore for 22$. I've seen the small expansions through social media and now the time to get the game. Thank you so much.

Really liking the Out-of-Body Experience Camera, it helps a lot when building. The Snap preview ghosts, though...oof.

Cant wait to watch this later!

Damn JC putting some knowledge down on us I'm back in class taking notes keep it coming J👍🏼.

I am so happy I finally found out how to do circular builds, thank you!!!!!

I've only recently started building serious bases and this video has helped me loads! Thanks! One side note I could not get the wire glitch to work for love nor money. Only way I could get it to work was to connect the wire to a live power source then do the glitch.

This makes glitch building seem much less daunting. Thank you for this.

Excellent stuff, I've been getting confident in my builds, but this fills some gaps for me =P

Thanks, that was a really good video, - and it did not feel like it was very long, perfect for a Sunday on the couch

Thank you for the info. I just started in game and your video helped a lot!

Just discovered! Thanks for this well structured building tutorial!

good one brother watched the whole 56mins

Great video. I subbed and hope you can get a better mic soon. Good luck.

This was very useful, thanks. I hope most of this stuff still works to date :)

Awesome video! Your builds are crazy!

Thank you for all your tips !

This is great! Thank you.

If I can nitpick 😂 You get the second set of angles by rotating the cube so the corner point lines up with the tile's center line. From there you need to keep the gap between each cube as small as possible. That's how you get the accuracy.

I was wondering if you could explain in more detail the part about buying some (all?) QS items that then kill the ability to do the paver-to-pipe/pipe-to-paver trick for flipping things upside down. Just learned how to do this (your video) and it worked our perfectly for what I was trying to do. I'm interested in a lot of the trees and plants and such from the QS vendor, but am reluctant to buy them, if I'll lose that ability.

Thanks for the tips! The way you talk reminds me of Mr. Rogers 😂❤️

"I'm going to extend my pipe" every man's dream 🤣🤣🤣

You can avoid the terrain growing back by putting layered floors over it, so you put down a floor then you put down a small ... w/e those are called the extra tiny walls, then you put another floor under the floor you just made connected to those tiny walls and it prevents the terrain from reforming in that one area, ive done this alot on my newer bases and it prevents that from happening.

Been waiting for this one JC,. Pretty soon I plan to rival you bro. I don't suppose you could do a dome tutorial at some point?

Excellent video, the clearest and easiest to understand of any building videos I’ve seen, thank you. A quick question: when building either Standing Planter and/or large Hydroponic trays on freighters. Every time I place a Standing Planter it shows as no power and in a 6x8 room 12 of my large Hydroponic trays don’t have power. Have you seen this bug and is there a work around/fix please?

Liked and subscribed. Excellent teacher ty!

Great vids, thanks. I am still really confused. Lol I think I am just gonna have to fiddle around with stuff myself and figure it out. Cus that was way too fast for me to really grasp. But a good start. Its pretty frustrating that the whole structure can defy physics itself... but you cant just rotate a panel 15° or flip over a cube. 🤣

i was building a vault base and wanted to do some sort of airlock entrance and i wish i saw that wall to cuboid one to connect doors sooner

I need to work on my glitches. Also sounds like No Mans Sky should just get rid of the red state building, let all of them build into each other. That would be awesome.

JC, I loved this video you have helped me better master circular rooms!!! (Whoops that was not a valid method after all, edited for stupidity!)

I have the attention span of a goldfish, I spaced out at the 5 min mark. But then again, I always space out when you talk to me.

Thank u so much for this vid. Now where did I put my night goggles lol

Thanks for the tips. Do you think they're going to expand on the limited amount of axis-changing and scaling we can do now, or do you think wire glitching is something we'll have to live with? Personally I find it thoroughly annoying but the results from you and other builders speak for themselves. I'd really like a way to free-place items which doesn't get constantly interfered with by snap points and the game's tendency to force alignment whenever I get close to a nearby object. And don't get me started on the blue outlines...

I would sit through a 2 hr video on this subject

Hey bro, just have a question, i built my base but when i enter it i get a message saying " entered abandoned building inhabitant unknown" i don't know why, some help please, thank you very much.

Hello, thank you so much for making this video, I've been wanting to have more variety with my builds, but could not get the hang of glitch building. I was wondering what do you do when you have quicksilver items between your paver and pipe? Thanks for your help!

While I love creating a new base, frankly, I don't have the kind of time required to do a lot of what's being shown here. Do people not have jobs? How many hours are being played to discover these glitches and figure out how to utilize them? Seems like HG just creating more building material options to the list would help simplify this whole rigmarole.

Excellent video my dude. Learned quite a bit!! Not happy that I’m the “666th like” tho! Lol 🥴

Base building should have a no collision option so you can basically weld pieces into unique shapes. Picture GMod

The fact that you can only build nice things if you use glitching like this is the sole reason I'll never bother trying to make something awesome. It sucks.

Thanks, 278 hours in, and still haven't built an actual building and now my life is forfeit! Great vid tho.

Do you have any videos without glitching?

Bob Ross of no mans sky

Great vídeo, even better mic. (Just a joke)

They need to fix the falling through floors and other glitches and lag when you base gets too big. I built a huge complex. But no fun going there because of all the glitches. I have a floating area a pyramid an underground garden and a huge garage and elevated landing platforms. All connected by local teleporters. But the clutching just ruins it.

For NMS fans who want to know some cool gaming tips. Felt like 10 minutes. Now what am I going to watch...…….

My problem is the landing pad. I try 2 add flooring connected directly 2 the pad but it doesn't. I use small walls, or small floors to try 2 fill the gaps in. I create small room underneath it sometimes but not always works.

T h a n k ' s YOU !! :)

So ....do u know how to add power to a electromagnetic generator when it is not built over a power field?

the only build issue i am having is that my power source is too far from my base so it has no power , i guess i have to wait til the make an increase somewhere or build a shit ton of solar panels

How do you get the building materials in the first place ?

At 3:26 you put out a Foundation Quad....So the legs only show up after you click to place it? I can't get my legs on the Quad/Stut to show at all. What am I doing wrong?

I bought the foundation and there not on my foundation bar

On pc, build camera mode is "c"

Is there a way to build that will force the terrain to not grow back? I build an underground growing facility without knowing this and now every time I go back to it I have to dig it completely out.

Youre good at building new words like "orientate" :-D

This is like watching Bob Ross playing No Man's Sky.

Excellent explanation but I need to curse the developers for this. How many years has it been since the release and they can't fix these glitch and make it a legit building option??

looks like they changed the order of the building blocks you can't seem to build walkways anymore

My issue is actually just getting to building in camera mode.

Why is no one talking about base disappearing if too close to a settlement?

I know it's cool and all, but couldn't you just rotate the object instead of adjacency glitching?

Why isn’t there more of an effort to pressure Hello Games to remove the invalid build location bullshit from the game? They know that people are resorting to glitch building, they know that people want to have more control over where we place the various objects that compose a build, and they’ve known this for a very long time. Why doesn’t Hello Games implement a build system more similar in editing capabilities to Second Life, where you can move and re-size and rotate and re-texture any object after it’s been placed, and in addition you can group objects together and then re-size move and rotate them as a group? It really makes no sense why there isn’t more of an effort by hello games to improve the build system. I like the rotation capabilities but without a precise grid system or a way to set an exact rotation angle or a way to scale the basic building parts, all they did is add to the frustration and annoyance rather than truly improving it. Worst of all, instead of relaxing the “invalid build” bullshit, Beyond they gave us the blue ghosts that makes it a huge pain in the ass to do any kind of large scale build since it blocks from building where you want by placing blue ghosts everywhere, even in places that aren’t even valid build locations due to being too close to the player or intersecting with god knows what. Beyond also removed the ability to decide what texture goes on the basic building parts. Seriously... WTF were they thinking/smoking? I sincerely hope someone with half a brain buys Hello Games and replaces their programmers with competent developers. For the love of God, this could be such a great game if they didn’t constantly find ways to ruin it.

Check out my base house of shruete it's currently in the build process

how can u build unlimited? so without using any resources?

Oriented

I hope santa bought you a mic thats horrific

I dont understand why I have to glitch so much just to build a base

Good video but dam man invest in a mic

I feel like 8 years old me seeing minecraft building videos

This man needs a new mic lol

I cant seems to do it after the Living Ship Update. Whosoever removed this, if he be dummy, shall receive a slap to the face.

Can i buy you a better mike?

Or you can just be a pc user with "Beyond Basebuildingr" mod and stop wasting your time with these glitches.. Anyway good video, it's too bad that we have to use these type of things, we can explore millions of planets, but we cant place some objects next to eachother, such freedom, such irony.

start a gofund me for this guy to get better mic.

The building mechanics in this game are truly a mess. Some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Building needs a massive rethink.

This game is a complete waste of time. No way to make dog poop look good. Sorry.
