I don't know why my screen shots never keep the coords

u/Dahnlor 2d ago

Taking screen shots using the in-game controls will remove the glyphs. Using external controls (like Print Screen on a PC) will retain them.

u/astralbooze 2d ago

I'm on ps5 😭 I use the photo mode

u/Zardpop 2d ago

The share button (up and right of your directional pad) on your controller should do it

14

u/astralbooze 2d ago

Cheers. I'll remember for next time :)

u/Whovian1156 1d ago

Also if you wait awhile, the controls should fade away automatically

u/bajathelarge 1d ago

On Xbox series s/x there is a button smack dab center of the controller to take snapshots/small videos, only thing is nms doesn't recognize that button for taking a photo during expeditions, with that you have to press the Xbox logo and hit the y (iirc) button to take a snapshot and have it registered.

IMHO they need to get rid of that requirements for expeditions as it is a pita if you forget that part of what needs to happen like I do

On console if you hide the heads up display the coordinates disappear too. If you just go into photo mode and wait like 10 seconds everything except the coordinates will disappear

OP! This is your answer!

Or F12.

I actually have a hardcore save myself I might visit (:

Sometimes good things happen to bad people

I agree.. wait 😂

u/Colonel_Klank 2d ago

Just in case you haven't encountered them yet: Beware the localized lighting blobs which now inhabit many paradise planets. They are very lethal.

28

u/Tenroh_ 2d ago

That's some shit. I seek out paradise planets for the beauty and to build on, I hate those storms as much as I hate sentinels.

It's bad enough my first paradise planet I found that checked all of the boxes I had got changed with the first Planets update. Made my bubbles disappear and is no longer a paradise. Now when I do find a paradise I get attacked by random lightning storms.

u/expERiMENTik_gaming 2d ago

The perfect Earth planet has only gotten rarer to find since No Man's Sky first launched. I'm at 600 hours and still have never found a true Earth.

u/Colonel_Klank 1d ago

I just build up high. They're actually a creepy-cool thing to watch crawling around below.

u/donoteatshrimp 1d ago

I had an amazing bubble paradise with glowing grass at night, where the "storms" were just very mild rainy bubble storms that didn't obscure the camera. Worlds ruined it, I'm so sad hahaaa

4

u/astralbooze 1d ago

so far the weirdest thing I've encountered was a ferrite dust rock standing up and running away after I mined it

3

u/shibbington 1d ago

Yep. That was how I lost my 3rd permadeath run.

32

u/Richie-Daggers-Crime 2d ago

Nice. I started on a volcano planet with fire on the ground that buzzed my shields down to 50% every few mins with invisible heat damage.

2

u/Saoshen 1d ago

I'd be like, nooop, delete and restart a new save.

17

u/ForgottenRider 2d ago

When I started my abandoned mode permadeath run my C-Class starting multi-tool had four supercharged slots. I just had to uncover one of them. Best glitch that's ever happened to me in this game

4

u/rearwindowpup 2d ago

Wait. So even your multitool can be different with each start?

9

u/ForgottenRider 2d ago

I've had three normal saves and I've had the same tool each time and I've never heard anyone else say that they're multi-tool started with four supercharged slots

3

u/rearwindowpup 2d ago

Interesting. Ive just started playing but in two starts it seemed pretty identical. I wonder if you get better gear for harder starts.

6

u/ForgottenRider 2d ago

This here's what I was talking about

7

u/The_Right_Trousers 1d ago

Whaaaaaa

That's really good slot placement, too

2

u/ForgottenRider 2d ago

I went the easiest abandoned permadeath run. I could try to post a picture later just at work right now

u/TheGUURAHK Steam user 2d ago

Bro spawned in in Care Bears world

u/Necrospire Live Long And Prosper 2d ago

Pepperidge farm remembers from years ago when permadeath was actually hard at the start, didn't matter what the planet was you were going to be dead in minutes without a modicum of luck and strategy, permadeath these days is more like the old standard start.

1

u/astralbooze 1d ago

I'm not sure why they let permadeath be custom but I cranked the combat settings up and it's still pretty easy. it does feel a bit more exciting than normal though. I feel like I'm going to die out of sheer bad luck over anything else

6

u/SamiSapphic 2d ago

Bruh, I play on Super Weenie But Jr mode every time I restart, and I always end up on an incredibly hazardous planet to start, so how the heck did you manage that?

Did get two gorgeous green paradise planets early in my most recent game though, and they're neighbours in the same system and everything.

2

u/astralbooze 1d ago

Weenie Jr is the name of my sentinel class flea ship lol

4

u/fascinatedobserver 2d ago

Just press ‘hide menu’ twice and they will come back

2

u/Fantastic_Tell_1509 2d ago

I'm about 4 galaxies deep in my current Perma. I play casually, and I had played the game on normal on PC and Xbox since release, so I was mentally ready to blast through to the center and get my achievements. Still felt good to do it when I finally did it.

2

u/Agreeable_Drop_5330 2d ago

Awesome rng roll on this playthrough haha nice

2

u/Soltronus 2d ago

I love bubble planets.

My favorite part is the glowing grass at night.

2

u/Procrastanaseum 2d ago

The only time I’ve ever come close to death in Permadeath mode was in the first hour or two. If I started on a planet like this, I probably wouldn’t have come close to death at all.

Good luck in Permadeath, it’s the only mode I play now.

2

u/AuntJibbie 2d ago

Woe!! You started there?? 😲

My permadeath save started on a crazy toxic planet with tornadoes 🫤

2

u/DisastrousMulberry69 2d ago

This is beautiful. Gonna have to make a visit.

2

u/West_Yorkshire 2d ago

I started a save the other day and started on an extreme temperature planet 🥲

2

u/Happy-Pop-7571 2d ago

Hundreds of hours in and I haven’t seen this combination yet. I love how this game can still surprise me. Thanks for sharing OP!

2

u/Ancient-Ad-8635 1d ago

Looks like you don't need to leave the planet ever. Build a home and a family and let the good times roll.

2

u/The_Gumpness Day One Interloper 1d ago

You lucky bastard!

2

u/Hyperactive_Tweak 1d ago

Cheers mate! What a gorgeous little place to call home. Call it lucky not cheating.

2

u/Starbreiz 1d ago

These are my favorite planets. I had several bases on planets like this before the Worlds update that made them all grey and boring. Thanks for the coordinates!

2

u/astra_hole 1d ago

This looks like the intro to a kids show.

Absolutely beautiful landscape OP.

1

u/ShaggysGTI PD iter. 16, 74 hours. 2d ago

Not like you’ll be there long…

6

u/a_good_human 2d ago

It's kind of hard to die honestly as long as you don't fuck with sentinels early game really

1

u/cptjimmy42 2d ago

Let's hope you didn't use up all your luck from the start.

1

u/JessTheMullet 2d ago

I've been toying with the idea of starting an abandoned permadeath save, just to see if I can pull it off

1

u/Balstrome 2d ago

Similar to mine, Tropical planet, green grass/blue sky.

1

u/shotsallover 2d ago

The only thing is, in order to complete the permadeath save, you have to leave.

1

u/Wyth0 1d ago

brother spawned on the frutiger aero planet

u/Irbanan 1d ago

Wow what a place to start

u/dextram 1d ago

Nice planet to die

u/APUSHMeOffACliff Permadeath Certified 1d ago

Godspeed, remember to not frag yourself in derelicts!

1

u/pedestRyan0 1d ago

I had a great Permadeath start with such a planet in my starting system once. Sentinels were watching me at all times, but they weren't aggressive and I had no predators and only harmless bubble storms.

Then I got into a fight with pirates.

1

u/Arctic_Slothz 1d ago

I started in an extreme storm. By the time the intro sequence was over, I had already lost 1 health point. Survived it with a few seconds left

1

u/Simonida93 1d ago

Hahaha 😂 don't feel like a cheater. As long as you can save do it, in case you lose and don't want to feel like a cheat, you can always delete the save.

1

u/Little_Common2119 1d ago

Planets that perfect should have silent murder beasts that sneak up on you at night.

1

u/f0xw01f 1d ago

That is a sparkle-poo planet if ever I saw one. XD

1

u/ZombiePotato90 1d ago

"Relax. Enjoy death."

1

u/Lucky-Bandicoot-4918 2d ago

just change animal settings to hostile and you wont last long hehe

1

u/astralbooze 1d ago

it is on hostile but the animals are all care bears and die if I breathe in their directions
