AprilPvd in VR:
No Man’s Sky
Wednesday
Did some working on corvettes with Grand Nagus
Worked on Sebastian and AprilPvd
Thursday
Spent most of the day with April Pvd doing waste runs, and building mini bases at plants. Also working on the road. Sometimes I ended up going the wrong way, but it was still fun. I just love being on the planet.
Friday
Saturday
I spent way too much time running my Colossus with trash on April Pvd, but it’s so relaxing. I finally gave up building roads because I would sometimes not connect them because the ground was smooth enough, but then I would forget where the next point was and you can only put five saved beacons on a planet. I made one big bridge that I’m gonna have to go back and find and remove find them no matter cause I was having fun.
Monday
Found another planet that is frozen and so much more easier to navigate. Has three heaps close to one plant. April Pvd managed to get all the perks and so now I am working on the other three.
Tuesday
So I was out with April Pvd and I found a power source and April Pvd doesn’t need any more waste and she doesn’t need to make another base on this plant so I brought in Aprillian and she made a base in April Pvd all right so I’ll shoot what happened oh, for some reason I started running. I didn’t even know I could auto run and I am how the heck do I get way over here? That was so crazy! I had a April Pvd at her base and I was bringing in a and she was able to to the base that April Pvd had built for her on the electromagnetic source and then teleport to the base April Pvd had built at the plant. But when she got there and I went back onto April Pvd was in the she was a few hundred units away and apparently have auto run which I didn’t know I could do in VR. But like Grand Nagus says I probably need to check the binding settings. I did two trips from heaps with a it was a lot, which makes it all the more sci-fi like.
Wednesday
Made a base for Sebastian next to Aprillian
Thursday
Worked on housing for E and Sebastian.
Friday
I know how silly it seems but working on the housing was fun. I did encounter a slight problem that when I went back to a brilliant house pieces were missing so I spent some time going back in logging in with April Pvd, and then going back in to all the houses to make sure everything was stable because of course Apple Pvd has all the blueprints.
Saturday
AprilPvd
Friend Code: JM8X-2ZDR-056JP
Sebastian
My No Man's Sky Friend Code: 9Q7N-EKD6-GY2MJ
Aprillian
My No Man's Sky Friend Code: Z836-0QK2-XMHWO
Epril
My No Man's Sky Friend Code: QT08-Z4E2-VVCXM
I thought maybe one of the problems with things disappearing or not being able to see the other houses from the sky was because we weren’t all friends were. We’re all linked by the Steam account but not in games so I decided to get all the Friend codes and share them with all the characters.
Sunday
I know it’s crazy, but I had to go back to blueberry Hill to get rid of all the streets I made because I wanna make Pvd to my main base in City and I’ve been working on that and I realize that there is a limit to how many pieces you can create or have placed in a world in No Man’s Sky so I am on blueberry Hill deleting the massive amount of roads that I put in. I wish there was a quicker way, but I can’t see any. I have to manually delete each one and a few times I kept falling and some of them were so high up of the only way I could get to them was to create a base and build a ramp of stairs up to the road. I also deleted all of the bases I built and just left one house that was built at a power station. There are some places where there’s natural power and you can just put down an electromagnetic thing that will automatically get power. I love when I find one of those. I did go back to the anomaly and use some salvage data to get some more blueprints for different parts to build April Pvd‘s house. I brought Sebastian in to join me because I would be at a plant that I was going to delete the base and he was able to get some more waste to complete the challenge. He actually got the new wheels.
Put out a episode on YouTube
Monday
When I’m not in game, I spend a lot of time thinking about the game. I want to work on the neighborhood and I’m wondering how close I can build to each other.
Finally kind of figured out the whole solar panel battery thing. Once you realize that you need to have a battery for every solar panel and then have all the batteries connected it makes it so much easier. And the video I’ll even tells you the maximum amount of power you have available and what your are currently using. On a brilliant I was able to find one of those electromagnetic power sources. But the other three had to be battery powered. I also used one of those attachments to hide the “cords”.
Tuesday
Logged in as Aprillian and visited other bases only to find them not powered. But once Epril joined, everything showed up. I owe retroactive apology to my thoughts on others bases power system failure..
Found an underground cave under Aprillian’s base so I put a short term teleporter between second floor and cave!

Grand Nagus:
Saw this on a video: If you want an extra powerful mining laser, get a sentinel multitool, the special mining laser thing on it is ok, but if you install a normal mining laser in addition to the sentinel one, you get a super laser.Numbers wise, with only one laser I start at 40 dps and it builds up and overheats eventually. With the double laser setup, I start at 375dps and the laser doesn’t overheat for minutes.
Got my Autophage settlement up and running.
Finished the quest to be able to go to the purple star systems.
Watched a video about potentially optimal tech layout of the exosuit.
No Man's Sky | Tips & Tricks | Endgame Character Exosuit Technology Layout! | Worlds 5.2
Found my first Endless Seas planet (requires completion of Autophage questline, since you need access to purple star systems). Then you look for them and just go to the different ones, i was lucky to get a hit on the first try of looking for an Endless Seas planet.
I finished the Minitaur quest chain, and now I'm summoning it whenever I fight Sentinels.
I finished the Nautilon quest too.
Still going strong in finding all the fauna on planets.
