Staying alive in Survival Mode in No Man's Sky is very challenging. With few resources and plenty of hazards around you, it will be easy for you to give up. But even if you're at your wits end, you can still go on and successfully finish the game. Here are some important tips that you must consider if you want to survive this stage of the game.
Be Wise In Using Your Resources
Knowing that there are a few resources available is a good thing. You will be forced to save up and not use them if you really don't need to. Every decision you make will have an effect on your future in No Man's Sky. So be wise and you will last longer than you think.
One way you can save up on your resources is to walk instead of running to your destination. By doing this, you will be able to conserve your energies. That's why it is important for you to plan your every move in No Man's Sky. Planning will help you avoid unnecessary movements which will deplete your resources as well as your strength.
Learn The Languages Of The Aliens in No Man's Sky
Since you are in a world populated by aliens, you need to know how they communicate with each other. In other words, you need to learn their languages. In No Man's Sky, there are at least four alien races, the Atlas, the Gek, the Korvak and the Vykeen. It is not certain if there are still other alien species in the video game's universe.
It would be a good investment of your time to explore the huge monuments scattered all over the universe of No Man's Sky. Through them, you might be able to learn a few of those alien languages so that you can survive. It is also possible for you to learn a few alien words from the small stones with purple icon marks as well as the plaques that are strewn all over the place.
Repair Your Crashed Space Ship Remotely
The only way you can leave the planet in No Man's Sky is to make your crashed ship fly again. To do that, you have to scavenge for parts and components scattered in the strange planet. As soon as you have fixed you visor and scanner, you need to go back to your ship and repair it. To save time, you can repair these parts where you found them.
These components and parts are often thrown at a distance from your space ship. It would take you around 10 to 15 minutes to bring each one of them aboard. In other words, it will save your time and strength if you will repair them where you found them. It is a waste of time and suit space to gather them all together before you start repairing them.
Avoid Dangerous Animals By Using Your Scanner
Another way you can use your scanner in No Man's Sky is to detect and identify dangerous creatures. Do not limit the use of the scanner for gathering money and resources. It is also useful in protecting yourself from other aliens that could come your way. Line up the creature in the sight of the scanner and you will get a breakdown of its temperament and eating habits. If your scanner says that animal is dangerous, then better get off its way.
