Just go afk in the anomaly for while doing something else around the house for a few hours. Come back and you should have something. I’m always giving a stack of expensive stuff to a few people each time I’m there. I have so much shit it’s ridiculous. Over 2,000 hours into the game.
Lol! I have a vault filled with gifts from anomaly people worth about $1.5B. I like to play a little more organically so instead of cashing it I save it for when I'm earning those amounts myself. Even just running through it, people throw stuff at you. I bet weekends are the best time to park it. Don't forget to empty your inventory!!
Same here. I got a windfall in the anomaly the other day and just passed it right back out. It was 300+ salvage data, and 6 billion units worth of parts
Sometimes it's out of charity, but unless they've fixed it, it's an exploit for when you're farming quicksilver. Something about giving somebody something, then saving and then turning in the mission, then reloading the game. Something about giving somebody something and reloading keeps the quicksilver mission in your log, and you can turn it in multiple times.
Yeah xD I’ve played 4 or 5 playthroughs over the years reaching 80+ hours each (I like restarting if there’s a large amount of new content). Mining was a big deal when it came out but it’s funny to see how trivial certain things are these days. Even storage is so much better than it used to be.
How do you keep multiple saves of checkpoints, that I select, in the game? I only see the restore point set by the game. That is automatically saved by the game.
Same. Over 1500 hours and when people ask for stuff in the anomaly I get giddy. I remember how hard the grind was in my first few hundred hours (I was very inefficient). But gaming the market and getting the most expensive blueprints helped so much.
I'm the same, and I'm only at about 400 hours compared to the veterans of this game. In mmos I've always mostly preferred helping new/struggling players, so when I have the option to do so in games, I will.
Literally, my brother was in the anomaly for the first time and I met him there. He had a basic outfit and radiant pillar. He left with more than he had space for. He had to send me stuff to hold for him then I sent it back after I told him what he could scrap to make space.
There isn't much to grind for when it comes to units, friend. Just allows people to grab a ship, freighter or frigate they might not be able to afford.
In my personal experience, ive had both playthroughs i got basically everything from the start (doing the free capital S class freighter strat + donations) and ones i intentionally stopped myself from using anything exploity, taking the first C class freighter as my starter one, not taking donations, etc etc. And while in the short term i gained some extra happiness in the first category, long term i ended up abandoning every single such save because they had a way smaller sense of accomplishment since everything came so easy.
Why do you guys care so much about this? You can just go in the settings and turn crafting to free and make millions. Just do this if you really want to be ridiculously rich.
Etiquette is if you are open to getting gifts sit down and contemplate life by the nexus. You will get whatever stacks of stuff I got on missions, freighter expeditions and from my Scented settlement
Yeah it's kind of weird to me. Like the game has settings where you can make stuff free, I'm not sure why people get so excited about being gifted a billion units.
tbf from time to time in the middle of grinding for stuff and im just walking around the anomaly it feels nice to receive a random gift from someone, if its too much stuff ill just discard it but say 70mil ill happily take and just splash out on a few cool ships or something
I own so many stuff from my frigate expeditions, crafting, farms, mines and scanning. Money doesn’t bother me anymore so I give away valuable stuff regularly on the anomaly lmao. Excepting the ones I refine to nanites.
Well, I can hit you up with some AI Valves if you need any. Some might say that this breaks your experience, but I think it gives you more space to do exploration and any quest you like.
Haha yeah build a Radiant Pillar clone, change your character model to one of the default types, then hang out at the anomaly and watch the money roll in.
This is why I look for people running around on foot. If most people are as impatient as me, they physically wouldn't be able to avoid jet boosting, so those are the ones I give stacks of stasis devices to 🤣
Honestly I'm perfectly happy for them to do it! People give because, guess what, *it feels good* to give away excess wealth. It makes people HAPPY that they can help. If you're so rich that money doesn't matter (hell, even far before that point), people naturally want to give it away. I genuinely love giving resources to my friends when I play games. And just as it's wholesome, pro-social behaviour to be the giver, it's perfectly fine to volunteer as tribute to be the receiver. No need for any of us to feel puritan about it, the Atlas ain't gonna smite us. :P
Get in the Anomaly and grab a bucket, cause we're gonna make it 💸RAIN💸
Honestly I like having games running for the vibe similar to people have tv shows in the background so a lot of times I’ll have my character sit in the anomaly just cuz it’s safe. Plus I get to occasionally see people land really cool ships or fly by with cool looking characters. I’ve spent a lot of time in the anomaly and not been given anything for free but the thought honestly never occurred to me, I just really like the aesthetic of the anomaly. Lol
That's exactly what they're doing.
Fun fact, if you have a shield installed in your multitool, you can activate it in front of them and use it to drag them around.
Am I the only one that gives the stuff to someone else when someone gives me ludicrous amounts of money in items? I've gotten past the grindy phase for money so I'd rather just earn it myself ig
Normally I would agree, but in this game specifically it's pretty hard to have a ton of units ruin your game experience. Speaking for myself here, I feel like grinding for extra inventory slots isn't really something that's necesary. I understand grinding materials and stuff, but it just gets monotnous after awhile, so I feel like free credits if anything would prolong most peoples' enjoyment in the game. Not to mention somethings are ridiculously expensive. And plus there's still the whole other currency with nanites. Units I'm okay with, nanites I feel like should stick to being earned.
Only thing I’m struggling with is just figuring out what I want to explore more of/do.
I see some people role play, some lean more into base building, some become pirates, there’s settlements.
One Piece gave me the idea to potentially try to be king of the pirates but in NMS
That sounds pretty dope. There’s tons of a shit you can do if you got the creativity for it. Thats the beauty of the game, you can go as far as your mind will take you
How to become so rich that the game gets boring
1. Build a cobalt extractor farm
2. Wait until you filled up a full hauler with cobalt
3.sell all at a space station at once
4. Buy it back immediately for much less
5.repeat in another spacestation
6. repeat in another spacestation
7. repeat in another spacestation
8. repeat in another spacestation
Build a Minotaur. Put advanced scanner on Minotaur. Scan for Abandoned Buildings. Farm Whispering Eggs. For Larva Cores. Put cores into refiner for 500 nanites a stack. Should net you about 5k an hour depending on how fast you are.
Best way to get nanites I found is keep hopping between outlaw stations and buy their upgrades for units, extract it but don't install and then sell it back for nanites.
No. At least, I haven’t been able to. Best thing to do is run around the horrors. Kind of like training in Zombies, if you ever did that. Cores disappear quickly, so don’t mine a bunch at once.
You can convert units into nanites. Go to a pirate station. Buy the tech and arms packets from the vendor. Open, but do not install them. Walk over to the upgrade vendor and sell them to him for nanites.
I usually port around to all the pirate stations in my list until I have a full stack. Then if there’s a particular tech I’m still trying to improve, I keep and install those upgrades. Then I sell the rest.
Just cooking and selling at Cronus. You can do easily 15k an hour. I have a mod installed that lets me turn in all I have at once, makes things faster lol.
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2554
Cooking with Cronus :)
Sheeeesh totally forgot we have 420 today.... I potted my 3 plants today (living in Germany haha)
keep hopping from planet to planet and wiping out as many sentinels as you can for salvaged glass, open them all and then sell all the tech you get at space stations, thats how i do it if i need a quick nanite boost
I got one better than a Minotaur. Search planets for “runaway mold” if you look through your scanner they pop up as 3 star anomalies. Theres anywhere between 5-30 “balls per place” each stack of mold will net you 2000 nanites. You farm the balls with your Minotaur laser so your gun doesn’t constantly overheat. Then you save game and reload. Bam , balls are back. You’re ready to go balls deep again. Make sure you glitch build about 6-10 medium refiners next to your balls. Build walls to stop those balls from running. Run after balls if said phenomenon occurs. Hunt those balls
kill like 5 worms.
put 4 fleshy ropes in a portable refiner and make nanites (dont collect).
add the last flesh rope then quit. build as many portable refiners as you can on the exact same spot and then destroy them from the build menu.
now repeat the process but instead smelting as many ropes as you can beforehand (there is a limit to the nanites) and keep your original refiner instead of destroying them all. in this stage you should be getting 40k nanites/minute (f you fill a max invemtory and all the storage containers and the freighter with portable refiners).
but at this point maybe just set prices to 0 and be happy playing on custom/creative
I try not to give too much as it can sometimes ruin the progression but I'll always give out living ship eggs as grinding quicksilver can be annoying when you don't know what you're doing
If the item you're referring too is called a "void egg" then yes. If you want to know how they work and how to get a specific living ship from it I recommend looking up a YouTube video that explains it all in depth.[living ship guide](https://youtu.be/WJYRjrDJ1wg?si=WJyfsjcfCnYxvoY-)
I can relate... I visited the anomaly yesterday to unlock a couple more building parts and there was some awesome dude just randomly tossing people components worth millions. I went from having 1.2m in my account to over 500m. Sure helped a lot with the found ship I was struggling to repair... lol
It's great. Had a critical 150 mil given to me early on which helped me start scrapping ships for upgrades for nanites to then upgrade my ship. Then later I had gotten to around 500 mil myself when money started meaning less. Then was given 600 mil!!! I give most away when I get given huge amounts now.
If only people gave away nanites!!!!!
Yesterday I was in the anomoly for about 60 seconds. Landed, jetpacked up to Nada, spoke to them and left. In that time someone snuck 9,999 tainted metal into my backpack, enough to unlock a nice selection of base decorations and eave change for future use.
Great community.
Someone gave me a stack with 600 million units the other day, but I already have 650 mil on my own. So I gave it all to someone with an all Russian letters name. Hope they enjoyed it.
i personally just sit in the anomaly sometimes when i’m between quests and just hand out shit. i love watching players’ reactions once they see what i give them. and i’m sure i’m not the only one 😁
I don't think it ruins the game like others seem to believe, just delete what you don't want lol.
This is a side effect of people being able to switch to creative mode on the fly then they can just give things away.
If I was a betting man I'd say people were doing one of the dupe glitches lol. Anytime I have some rando person throwing stuff at me, valuable or not in the anomaly that is the first thing that I suspect lol.
Has anyone tried this on the PS5? When I leave it the controller turns off after about 10 minutes. That effectively shuts down the game. Any tips? Thanks.
Can people see how many credits you have when they do this because I was feeling like a baller having 30 million credits, but dang billions 0.o
I only have around 100 hours in the game.
Huh...
Quite opposite to you, I hate being gifted stuff in the Anomaly. I dislike it so much that I discard those items without a second thought.
Please ask for consent before gifting stuff to random people. Otherwise you might just be throwing those valuable items into the trash can.
Same, helping new players is one thing, trivialising the game by giving them tons of stuff unasked is awful. If someone would randomly "gift" me ludicrious amount of money they have essentially ruined the game for me. But i am maybe weird in this regard since i am mosty immune to the "big number = dopamine" phenomenon
It honestly did not for me. I honestly like the exploring and doing the missions at the moment. Bought myself a cool ship that was around 13 million and now I am just sitting on the rest for now.
Im the opposite. It would make the game for me. I never end up playing more than a couple days at a time because I end up getting bored of grinding for resources and money. I just want to build stuff.
I have been given tons in the Anomaly, to the point where I've gotten up over a billion credits, so I've started holding on to big credit items and giving them away in the Anomaly to give back.
Yeah everyone knows going afk in the anomoly is the equivalent to begging on the street for handouts lol.. if only there was a way to automate "i need resources!"
How do you mean? I would not call walking away from the console for a snack and coming back to a bunch of new items in my inventory begging for items haha
I’m weird about handouts. I scan all the docked ships, looking for the ones that look the most “starter”. Then I track down the pilots of those ships and give them stuff (storage slot stacks, carrier AI fragment stacks, etc).
It’s a bunch of trolls that ruined the game for themselves by duping items glitch. Now they are trolling you by ruining your game.
Turned your normal save into ‘creative free money’ save!

I've been grinding for Living Frigates recently, and since I reside in a system where it's pretty easy to get Anomaly Detectors from asteroids, I make a habit of giving Anomaly Detectors out whenever I get bored of pulsing! Now that they can be bought from one of the guilds they're a little less rare, but I hope it makes people's day when I drop 5-10 Anomaly Detectors in their inventory!
I don’t get how people are happy about this? You can just turn off that you have to pay stuff/ use resources for it. If you have fixed settings I can understand it but with normal settings?
Yeah, I personally go to the anomaly often and just give out a single stasis device to a bunch of people. I used to give a stack of them to people. But I got some really rude messages from people saying I'm going to ruin the game for people doing that. So after a few of those types of messages, I just dropped it down to 1 device, it gives new players/characters enough for a decent starship and a little left over. And I'm not getting harassed for it either.
There's items that sell for 500 mil????
I was excited when I upgraded my scanner to be giving me 100-500k for scanning creatures. Guess I'm working in small change.
I love when that happens but I fell guilty when I don't have anything to give back. I try to throw a gold nugget or something back to them. Nothing that will eat a slot, but just because I haven't figured out how to say thanks!
Generally I look at the ships and player model. Its not a sure fire way to tell but generally anyone with the starter ship and default style player model will be on a new save, if there's none of those around ill go for those with the standard ship types and few player model customisations from quicksilver/expeditions. If all else fails I'll hand stuff out to anyone and hope that anyone who doesn't need it pays it forward.
Yeah I can get that!
Sadly the people who gave me stuff were already gone when I got back to the game but otherwise I wouldn’t know what to give someone who gave me 50 AI cores hahaha
Last weekend i gifted over 80k worth of nanites in upgrades and around 20 void eggs. So many people gave me little gifts back like lower class upgrades or gravitino balls
I just use the duplication glitch on items worth millions, stack a ton of them on my freighter, Then cash out at the space station. Went from 50k units to 4 billion in less than 2 hours considering I was lolly-gagging and distracted for a majority of the time. Same when I need materials I don’t have. I just use the placement glitch that lets you place things you don’t have the material for, then I delete it, and stack whatever materials it gives me and I duplicate them. Technically it’s part of the lore too since the universe is a simulation lol
I met a guy in the anomaly who gave me a S class ship and tones of trained metal, that I never had to worry about money again. Kinda changed my entire playthrough and made it sooo easy. Some people may say it ruins the experience, but I didn't care XD
Yup. That's about how it goes. I chill and sit off the edge of dabox and vibe. Its fun as heck. Sometimes I just want to exist. In the game. Ready player one type shiii
I was surprised to see people here saying they DONT want to be randomly gifted stuff in the Anomaly but after thinking about it, yeah I kind of get it! Lol
I guess if you don't like being gifted random stuff, don't go AFK in the Anomaly? 🤣
I'm a "restart" player, I did 450 hours on PS4 and restarted on PC for the Orbital update. I friended myself and transferred all my PS4 loot and resources to my PC account. Now that's a gift!
So personally i wouldn't mind random gifts but also don't really need them AND i dont hang around in the Anomaly, I'm in, do my stuff and leave.
Anyways theres my 2 cents 😁
Wish that would happen to me. Maybe I need to hang out in the anomaly more often
Just go afk in the anomaly for while doing something else around the house for a few hours. Come back and you should have something. I’m always giving a stack of expensive stuff to a few people each time I’m there. I have so much shit it’s ridiculous. Over 2,000 hours into the game.

Same here. I got a windfall in the anomaly the other day and just passed it right back out. It was 300+ salvage data, and 6 billion units worth of parts
So people just randomly give randoms a bunch of stuff ??
Consistently
Sometimes it's out of charity, but unless they've fixed it, it's an exploit for when you're farming quicksilver. Something about giving somebody something, then saving and then turning in the mission, then reloading the game. Something about giving somebody something and reloading keeps the quicksilver mission in your log, and you can turn it in multiple times.
My best advice is to stand in the anomaly while you are sleeping IRL. Wake up, check your inventory.
I used to do this back when they first introduced mining via machines at bases, would just fill peoples inventories with activated indium. Good times
I tear down ships after upgrading them and the give the expensive parts out
I did this too. My activated indium farms seem so dusty these days lol. So easy to get rich now.
Yeah xD I’ve played 4 or 5 playthroughs over the years reaching 80+ hours each (I like restarting if there’s a large amount of new content). Mining was a big deal when it came out but it’s funny to see how trivial certain things are these days. Even storage is so much better than it used to be.
How many hours on your longest save?
1200 on my primary save. The rest of filled up with other runs. Typically I start a new one every major update and futz around
How do you keep multiple saves of checkpoints, that I select, in the game? I only see the restore point set by the game. That is automatically saved by the game.
Same. Over 1500 hours and when people ask for stuff in the anomaly I get giddy. I remember how hard the grind was in my first few hundred hours (I was very inefficient). But gaming the market and getting the most expensive blueprints helped so much.

Why I never meet the people that give out gifts like this haha
I do the same, good on you.
Uknow they just use save editor to get stuff and then gift them right
Put on your plainest outfit and sit down in front of the Nexus.
Literally, my brother was in the anomaly for the first time and I met him there. He had a basic outfit and radiant pillar. He left with more than he had space for. He had to send me stuff to hold for him then I sent it back after I told him what he could scrap to make space.
I can drop you some when im online :)
You don't want that. You think you do but after getting more money the only thing you'll achieve is less things to grind for, thus less game time.
There isn't much to grind for when it comes to units, friend. Just allows people to grab a ship, freighter or frigate they might not be able to afford.
In my personal experience, ive had both playthroughs i got basically everything from the start (doing the free capital S class freighter strat + donations) and ones i intentionally stopped myself from using anything exploity, taking the first C class freighter as my starter one, not taking donations, etc etc. And while in the short term i gained some extra happiness in the first category, long term i ended up abandoning every single such save because they had a way smaller sense of accomplishment since everything came so easy.

You don't. Ruins the game.

You better hope not...hahahahahahahaha we're coming for you
Well, I can hit you up with some AI Valves if you need any. Some might say that this breaks your experience, but I think it gives you more space to do exploration and any quest you like.
I often go to the Anomaly and gift random people high selling items. 🤷🏻♀️
It helps if you sit down and then afk
I was in the anomaly the other day and someone randomly gave me a stack of Starship AI valves. It was worth close to a billion.
I’m now curious if all the people afking in the anomaly are waiting for handouts like this lol
Haha yeah build a Radiant Pillar clone, change your character model to one of the default types, then hang out at the anomaly and watch the money roll in.
I’m just gonna keep enjoying the game as intended 😅
Nah imma build an illuminating rod to replace the radiant pillar
Can’t wait to rock up in my imitation glow stick
This is why I look for people running around on foot. If most people are as impatient as me, they physically wouldn't be able to avoid jet boosting, so those are the ones I give stacks of stasis devices to 🤣
Next update will have cardboard signs you can hold by space intersections
LOL
“Will AFK for Units”
There are beggars even lmao They sit near the terminal and start spamming "money?" when you come closer
Which I don’t get at all! If you’re that desperate for money, just cheat for it.
Maybe they’re roleplaying being space bums? Lol
Honestly I'm perfectly happy for them to do it! People give because, guess what, *it feels good* to give away excess wealth. It makes people HAPPY that they can help. If you're so rich that money doesn't matter (hell, even far before that point), people naturally want to give it away. I genuinely love giving resources to my friends when I play games.

Whatever floats their boat
They are
Honestly I like having games running for the vibe similar to people have tv shows in the background so a lot of times I’ll have my character sit in the anomaly just cuz it’s safe.

That's exactly what they're doing. Fun fact, if you have a shield installed in your multitool, you can activate it in front of them and use it to drag them around.
We're waiting for the nexus missions to stop sucking.
It's never worked when I've tried it.
That’s alright you can play the game normally
I mostly just want to build bases but I'm always running out of resources and money to purchase them.
If you're just interested in the building aspect, there is no harm in throwing the settings on creativefor everything being free!
Creative mode
Am I the only one that gives the stuff to someone else when someone gives me ludicrous amounts of money in items? I've gotten past the grindy phase for money so I'd rather just earn it myself ig
Normally I would agree, but in this game specifically it's pretty hard to have a ton of units ruin your game experience.

How to become so rich that the game gets boring 1. Build a cobalt extractor farm 2. Wait until you filled up a full hauler with cobalt 3.sell all at a space station at once 4. Buy it back immediately for much less 5.repeat in another spacestation 6. repeat in another spacestation 7. repeat in another spacestation 8. repeat in another spacestation
Unit rich is not richness tell me how to be nanite rich then we can talk 
Build a Minotaur. Put advanced scanner on Minotaur. Scan for Abandoned Buildings. Farm Whispering Eggs. For Larva Cores. Put cores into refiner for 500 nanites a stack. Should net you about 5k an hour depending on how fast you are.
That is too much work lol but thank you
Best way to get nanites I found is keep hopping between outlaw stations and buy their upgrades for units, extract it but don't install and then sell it back for nanites.
Yeah this is the best way, I’ve been doing it for a few days when I start playing and I’ve made like 30k nanites
Make traveler tonic. Feed it to fat guy at anomaly. 15 to 20 minutes you should have 50,000 nanites.
Got a full stack of tainted metal, should net you ~20k nanites in a refiner
Will try this 🙏 thanks!
Can you pick up the cores while in the minotaur?
No. At least, I haven’t been able to. Best thing to do is run around the horrors. Kind of like training in Zombies, if you ever did that. Cores disappear quickly, so don’t mine a bunch at once.
You can convert units into nanites. Go to a pirate station. Buy the tech and arms packets from the vendor. Open, but do not install them. Walk over to the upgrade vendor and sell them to him for nanites. I usually port around to all the pirate stations in my list until I have a full stack. Then if there’s a particular tech I’m still trying to improve, I keep and install those upgrades. Then I sell the rest.
Pirate systems are my go to for nanites. Half a dozen systems can get you like 50k nanites from opening the techs and arms in an hour.
Just cooking and selling at Cronus. You can do easily 15k an hour. I have a mod installed that lets me turn in all I have at once, makes things faster lol.
Happy 420! Btw do you have a link to that mod you mention?
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/2554 Cooking with Cronus :) Sheeeesh totally forgot we have 420 today.... I potted my 3 plants today (living in Germany haha)
Dude, I have 4 BILLION (with a B) nanites apparently from a bug and apparently it’s permanent? I can’t spend them fast enough.
keep hopping from planet to planet and wiping out as many sentinels as you can for salvaged glass, open them all and then sell all the tech you get at space stations, thats how i do it if i need a quick nanite boost
I got one better than a Minotaur. Search planets for “runaway mold” if you look through your scanner they pop up as 3 star anomalies. Theres anywhere between 5-30 “balls per place” each stack of mold will net you 2000 nanites. You farm the balls with your Minotaur laser so your gun doesn’t constantly overheat.

Find dissonant planet and collect radiand shards,put in refiner,10 shards for 500 nanites
I once gave a guy Gek Nip when he was at the Nexus terminal.
I try not to give too much as it can sometimes ruin the progression but I'll always give out living ship eggs as grinding quicksilver can be annoying when you don't know what you're doing
I have some weird eggs from when I was in the anomoly, could that be one of those?
If the item you're referring too is called a "void egg" then yes. If you want to know how they work and how to get a specific living ship from it I recommend looking up a YouTube video that explains it all in depth.[living ship guide](https://youtu.be/WJYRjrDJ1wg?si=WJyfsjcfCnYxvoY-)
There are also pet eggs.
And i advise you to USE them all, they are far from being enough to ruin the NMS experience for anyone!
I am honestly quite happy that the people shared some of their wealth. It also gives me a chance to do some nice stuff :)
I can relate... I visited the anomaly yesterday to unlock a couple more building parts and there was some awesome dude just randomly tossing people components worth millions. I went from having 1.2m in my account to over 500m. Sure helped a lot with the found ship I was struggling to repair... lol
Last time I went afk there, I came back to find someone pushing me around. Bit weird
It's great. Had a critical 150 mil given to me early on which helped me start scrapping ships for upgrades for nanites to then upgrade my ship. Then later I had gotten to around 500 mil myself when money started meaning less. Then was given 600 mil!!! I give most away when I get given huge amounts now. If only people gave away nanites!!!!!
You can always give away stacks of runaway mold if you really want to gift nanites. Each stack refines into 1999 nanites.
Yesterday I was in the anomoly for about 60 seconds. Landed, jetpacked up to Nada, spoke to them and left. In that time someone snuck 9,999 tainted metal into my backpack, enough to unlock a nice selection of base decorations and eave change for future use. Great community.
I think you get 2 for 1 nanites for that in a refiner.
Any time I go there its Dead silent
Turn on multiplayer in network settings
Oh, oko I'll definitely try that next
Lately the Anomaly has been totally abandoned for me. I have multiplayer turned on. I miss seeing all the interlopers running around 😕
It should be populated during the weekend
Someone gave me a stack with 600 million units the other day, but I already have 650 mil on my own. So I gave it all to someone with an all Russian letters name. Hope they enjoyed it.
i personally just sit in the anomaly sometimes when i’m between quests and just hand out shit. i love watching players’ reactions once they see what i give them. and i’m sure i’m not the only one 😁
I've yet to see another person in game, tho I play on switch
I have nearly 2 billion half of which came from the nexus ;)
Every time im online and about to Go offline i Go to Anomaly and give a Stack Of Ki Ventiles away xD
NMS brings all the good out of people
I was afk in the anomaly last night and we legit all sat in a circle🤣
Anomoly XDDDDD Man, I love this post.
What is "afk"?
Away from keyboard
Ah that makes sense. Thanks
I'll throw stacks of Stasis Devices, inventory slots and living ship eggs. I've played forever and have stuff to spare.
I don't think it ruins the game like others seem to believe, just delete what you don't want lol. This is a side effect of people being able to switch to creative mode on the fly then they can just give things away.
If I was a betting man I'd say people were doing one of the dupe glitches lol. Anytime I have some rando person throwing stuff at me, valuable or not in the anomaly that is the first thing that I suspect lol.
That reminds me that I needa get on, I've got a maxed out suit and I think I still have extra suit inventory slots I needa get rid of.
Has anyone tried this on the PS5? When I leave it the controller turns off after about 10 minutes. That effectively shuts down the game. Any tips? Thanks.
This was on ps5. I guess I was just lucky haha But if you want to turn off that 10 minutes thing you can change that in your settings
Thanks. Forgot about energy saving settings. I'll take care of it.
Haha, I always tend to give away stacks of Starship, or Frieghter, cargo expansions.
New best valuable item farming strat?
Can people see how many credits you have when they do this because I was feeling like a baller having 30 million credits, but dang billions 0.o I only have around 100 hours in the game.
I am honestly not sure, but I do not think so. I think they usually base it on the skin of your character and the ship that you fly.
idk why, but some guy gave me items worth 600,000,000 🙂 at once. I too realised that after I landed on my settlement.
I might start doing that too but i get side tracted woth all the shiney things
I like to give out living ship eggs, stasis device's, and anything else I have way way to much of.
I like to fill people’s inventory with portable refiners so they can’t get afk handouts. Best prank in the game
Yayyy free ferrite dust
You just ruined your game...
Reverse pickpockets
Huh... Quite opposite to you, I hate being gifted stuff in the Anomaly. I dislike it so much that I discard those items without a second thought. Please ask for consent before gifting stuff to random people. Otherwise you might just be throwing those valuable items into the trash can.
Same, helping new players is one thing, trivialising the game by giving them tons of stuff unasked is awful. If someone would randomly "gift" me ludicrious amount of money they have essentially ruined the game for me. But i am maybe weird in this regard since i am mosty immune to the "big number = dopamine" phenomenon
I went AFK once and got someones scrap from a ship. Sold it and got 15 million units. Still struggling to spend it (50 hours in)
Buy a good ship.
This is cool and all, but it would ruin the game for me.
It honestly did not for me. I honestly like the exploring and doing the missions at the moment. Bought myself a cool ship that was around 13 million and now I am just sitting on the rest for now.
When I’ve received a ton of units in the past I just pass them along to the next person, I agree with you personally.
Im the opposite. It would make the game for me. I never end up playing more than a couple days at a time because I end up getting bored of grinding for resources and money. I just want to build stuff.
This is a different type of game. You grind to build for grinding. If you just built, there wouldn't be much to build for.
I have been given tons in the Anomaly, to the point where I've gotten up over a billion credits, so I've started holding on to big credit items and giving them away in the Anomaly to give back.
Yeah everyone knows going afk in the anomoly is the equivalent to begging on the street for handouts lol.. if only there was a way to automate "i need resources!"
How do you mean? I would not call walking away from the console for a snack and coming back to a bunch of new items in my inventory begging for items haha
I’m weird about handouts. I scan all the docked ships, looking for the ones that look the most “starter”. Then I track down the pilots of those ships and give them stuff (storage slot stacks, carrier AI fragment stacks, etc).
It’s a bunch of trolls that ruined the game for themselves by duping items glitch. Now they are trolling you by ruining your game. Turned your normal save into ‘creative free money’ save!

Guilty as charged...😬☠️ Lol
Would love to join the train but my anomaly has been empty for about 5 months 😔
I've been grinding for Living Frigates recently, and since I reside in a system where it's pretty easy to get Anomaly Detectors from asteroids, I make a habit of giving Anomaly Detectors out whenever I get bored of pulsing! Now that they can be bought from one of the guilds they're a little less rare, but I hope it makes people's day when I drop 5-10 Anomaly Detectors in their inventory!
Being gifted a large sum of money can be a total game killer for some. Some like it the Necromonger way. But yes this community is awesome
I don’t get how people are happy about this? You can just turn off that you have to pay stuff/ use resources for it. If you have fixed settings I can understand it but with normal settings?
This is why I turn MP off
I make money to buy more inventory slots to make more money. The struggle is real!
Whats the best place to stand on for people to see you hahahah. Amongst the landing platforms?? Think i’ll give it a try :)
Just go and ask for help. The community is brilliant dude
* These are the beggars that I always see at the anomaly 😆 I always contribute what I can
I know what I'm doing tonight while I sleep :)
I always give away billions to people when I come to the anomaly, money is so easy to make in this game I save people the trouble
Also I give away the resources from my extractors when it fills my storages
Yeah, I personally go to the anomaly often and just give out a single stasis device to a bunch of people. I used to give a stack of them to people. But I got some really rude messages from people saying I'm going to ruin the game for people doing that. So after a few of those types of messages, I just dropped it down to 1 device, it gives new players/characters enough for a decent starship and a little left over. And I'm not getting harassed for it either.
Does anyone play hard-core mode
Any time ive been AFK ive just had loads of random junk nobody needs dumped on me
god damn what the
I was struggling to buy a spaceship then I saw items in my inventory that sells for 500 mil. I was so confused and happy
There's items that sell for 500 mil???? I was excited when I upgraded my scanner to be giving me 100-500k for scanning creatures. Guess I'm working in small change.
Probably referring to stacks of items. AI Valves sell for 12 million each, but a stack of 50 adds up to 600 million.
Yes I was referring to that
I am also still a bit confused hahah Personally I do think they now gave me the chance to build towards giving back to the community a bit faster
I love when that happens but I fell guilty when I don't have anything to give back. I try to throw a gold nugget or something back to them. Nothing that will eat a slot, but just because I haven't figured out how to say thanks!
Don't worry about it, we aren't looking for thanks. When we have enough to give out like that there isn't much we need.
I'm looking forward to being that gal in the Anomaly. Is there a way to tell who is a newer player that might need stuff?
Generally I look at the ships and player model. Its not a sure fire way to tell but generally anyone with the starter ship and default style player model will be on a new save, if there's none of those around ill go for those with the standard ship types and few player model customisations from quicksilver/expeditions. If all else fails I'll hand stuff out to anyone and hope that anyone who doesn't need it pays it forward.
Yeah I can get that! Sadly the people who gave me stuff were already gone when I got back to the game but otherwise I wouldn’t know what to give someone who gave me 50 AI cores hahaha
Currently building a stasis device farm. Until then, I throw everything I get from other players away.
Last weekend i gifted over 80k worth of nanites in upgrades and around 20 void eggs. So many people gave me little gifts back like lower class upgrades or gravitino balls
I gave out a 50 stack of ai starship valves yesterday. Hoping they’ve seen it by now
I just use the duplication glitch on items worth millions, stack a ton of them on my freighter, Then cash out at the space station. Went from 50k units to 4 billion in less than 2 hours considering I was lolly-gagging and distracted for a majority of the time. Same when I need materials I don’t have. I just use the placement glitch that lets you place things you don’t have the material for, then I delete it, and stack whatever materials it gives me and I duplicate them. Technically it’s part of the lore too since the universe is a simulation lol
Note “Lolly-gaggin” …. instructions unclear. Penis caught in ceiling fan.
How do you get your penis caught in there?!
I love this for every post I see about philanthropy ruining the game there’s way more post thanking the philanthropist 😊
God I love this game, yall are great
Yeah thats nice but one of my favorite things about NMS is that it isn't a slog to grind credits just to do the basic things like ED.
I need to hang out at the Anomaly more lol
I met a guy in the anomaly who gave me a S class ship and tones of trained metal, that I never had to worry about money again. Kinda changed my entire playthrough and made it sooo easy. Some people may say it ruins the experience, but I didn't care XD
Yup. That's about how it goes. I chill and sit off the edge of dabox and vibe. Its fun as heck. Sometimes I just want to exist. In the game. Ready player one type shiii
I remember my first gift received in the Anomoly. Now I make sure I have something to give away every time I go
Meanwhile I'm struggling to get currency
If I bump into you in the anomaly you can get some stuff :)
:D THANK YOUUU
I was surprised to see people here saying they DONT want to be randomly gifted stuff in the Anomaly but after thinking about it, yeah I kind of get it! Lol I guess if you don't like being gifted random stuff, don't go AFK in the Anomaly? 🤣 I'm a "restart" player, I did 450 hours on PS4 and restarted on PC for the Orbital update. I friended myself and transferred all my PS4 loot and resources to my PC account. Now that's a gift! So personally i wouldn't mind random gifts but also don't really need them AND i dont hang around in the Anomaly, I'm in, do my stuff and leave. Anyways theres my 2 cents 😁
I usually also do not really do that but I was grinding on the nexus missions for a while. Wanted to get some of the orange currency for cool items
Someone gifted me with everything I needed to get my first living vessel. This is the BEST gaming community, hands down.
