No Man’s Sky Adds NPC Settlements With Citizen Disputes And Much More (2024)

FAQs

Is there more than 1 Settlement in no man's sky? ›

A player may only be the Overseer for one Settlement at a time. It is possible to have more settlements in different saves, but they will be glitchy. A player can switch to a different Settlement by investing a certain amount of race-specific resource (3 GekNip for Gek) and renouncing their current post.

The population count is a record of the number citizens in a planetary settlement, up to the maximum of 200. By building more residences and accepting new people in the settlement, it is possible to increase its population.

The decisions that the Overseer has to make directly impact the growth of the Settlement. An early choice that has to be made, for example, is whether or not to construct a Saloon or Marketplace. The Saloon will increase the happiness meter of the settlers, while the Marketplace will increase revenue.

Players can find new settlements in No Man's Sky, but if someone is already an Overseer of a different settlement they'll have to abandon their old settlement for the new one. All settlements are procedurally generated, so if someone becomes the Overseer of a new settlement the old one disappears.

The maximum number of units that a player can accrue is 4,294,967,295 (approx 4.3 billion) (being FFFFFFFF in hexadecimal, thus being an overflow error) after which the number will not rise any further.

All settlements allow you to build another 15 buildings beyond what you see when you arrive. And all settlements can eventually reach a maximum population of 200 settlers.

Your duty is to defeat seven Corrupted Drone. When all corrupted drone is defeated, you need to talk with a citizen once more time to accept a thanks. After that, you need to go to a Settlement Interface to become this settlement overseer. Then, go to the Construction Terminal to build the Administration Terminal.

The quest should trigger after a warp or two from the hyperdrive, so if the quest doesn't trigger after the first jump, it should trigger after another. Player's settlements should hail them, stating that they are under attack and need help. For Switch players, however, this quest should trigger after 25 warps.

No Man's Sky

You have to wait. You have no control over when or what to build in the settlement. You basically just wait until prompted to interact with the terminal.

Can you edit settlements in NMS? ›

You absolutely can change settlements anytime you want.

You can only be overseer of one settlement at a time.

Abandoned Minor Settlements can be found on planets in Abandoned systems, or on abandoned planets in otherwise inhabited systems.

The Overseer is a hireable Gek NPC character and is the mission-giver of the Expanding the Base mission. They are required for the Expanding the Base mission and they can be found in any star system unlike any of the other hireable NPCs.

No Man's Sky has a staggering 18 quintillion planets, making it practically impossible to explore everything. With over 10 million players, it would take around 58,494 years for every player to collectively visit every planet.

Base building allows the player to build multiple bases, which can be used for farming, storage and recharging Hazard Protection or Shield. Each save has a limit of 402 bases including one's freighter base and planetary settlement, so 400 planetary bases.

There's no limit on capital ships.
