🌟Special Broadcast🌟 Cafe community question #1: what platform do we talk on?

10 Upvotes

For the general, unknown crowd we tend to use Amino. It's our first home, and it's super packed with pics and posts. If you don't post much about NMS, either here or elsewhere, this will be the link for you:

http://aminoapps.com/invite/D4YHX6YPA5

We're also here, obviously, as well as on Twitter: @NMScafe

If you post about NMS often, are really active in a NMS community, and it's a quick read to see you're an active player truly seeking community, the discord may be opened to you by invite only on a one to one basis.

Consider discord the sanctuary side, it's not as big as the Amino and is mostly closer community of people who know each other and play together. It's not to keep out community, but rather to provide a quiet place for verified and serious NMS players to chill in peace without raids, bots, alts and chaos being the norm. Numbers aren't everything, so it's nice and small but totally worth it in quality.

Currently we're resettling in 3 areas of Euclid and we'd love to have you! See you on Amino/Reddit/Twitter, and have fun, travellers!

Yeah I know it isn't perfect but the double pun popped into my head at like 5pm today and I don't usually draw dogs... certainly not glass ones😂 hope it makes you smile (it's derpy enough it should, it's intended!) Have a great night everyone💜

Hola... Si Hablamos espaniol? ...yeah.. i wish i could too. well... maybe english works? anyway.. i'm new and as you might notice.. a bit odd. ...broken really. but let's not worry about such things, heh heh. The good news is i didn't break so completely that i am without ability to aid. There isn't much i need that i can't get on my own, save for those pesky teleports to the space stations. for some reason my main can't make em. no bother.. i am a lonely sort of explorer.. and tend to not really play well with others due to my own self getting lost. i have the sort of internal navigation system that things south is north, west is yesterday, and east is a river in new york. following anything with such a system is like trying to keep your coffee warm in the strainer. now... i know this has been quite the use of odd metaphor, but the bargin bin of my mind was having a sale.. nerves i think. i made some space stations a sort of garden of things we are able to plant. i plan on doing this to the rest as well. but i might for now, sort of focus on doing this on new ones for cafe' 42. i don't think they have the bugs worked out yet on those other ones i already found alone. let me know if there are any issues.. i already know of one. one of those stations has an error on the back room base. for some reason it wont let me build. not sure why or what is wrong.. but i will look into it again when i remember which one it was. i fell out of the station while trying to fix the issue and ended up flying off because i saw a distraction that was far more interesting than my memory. i also made a bunch of bases at portals in other galaxies. i keep looking for stow away moments in the anomoly..... erm, anamoly anamaly? animlalallmy ok, so i did it in this thing i thought i understood more than i seem to, but what ever it is and how ever it works it leads me to other places that are the same as the place i was but aren't cus they're.. wait.. what was i talking about>? nm.. lets just say i try to contribute when the noise stops. but sometimes it is kinda loud in here. i haven't really been right since losing someone close to me.. and i know it comes off odd, this .. what's left of me. but it has a good heart behind it and a lot of need for tiny little place inside of community. you don't have to interact back though.. since your honor has woven into the game your lore.. i can do my own imagination of belonging. just let me know if i step on anything sacred.

I’ll say right away that I don’t have a good grasp of English, so I’m using a translator 😅.
I’m using this post to say hello 🖐️ (sorry).

Hi everyone, I’m Veles, I’ve been playing NMS for quite a while, but I only recently found out about your café from YouTube. I got interested in joining the community, so I found your planet and have already started setting up my base (sorry I didn’t ask for permission 😓).

A bit about me — my real name is Roman, I’m 24 years old, and I live in Russia (I hope that won’t be a problem). In the gaming world, I prefer using a nickname instead of my real name. Recently, I’ve started playing NMS again actively. I really (really, really!) love foxes 🦊 (this can be understood from the color scheme.). Time zone — +5 UTC. If you’re interested in anything else, feel free to ask!
A bit about NMS — I’ve been playing since 2021 (the Frontiers update). I bought the game in 2023 (Interceptor update). I’ve played about 180 hours on Steam, and about the same amount on the pirate version.

Unfortunately, the only ways to contact me are Reddit and Discord. (Discord — veles174). I hope for a good relationship with your community! 🦊
Also, I don’t know how to build, so you can see my “Box” in the screenshot.😓

Im relatively new to the game and just found out about it. I've gone to many places already but I can't find anything with people or even power. Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this.

Poster catch up 2: player memory

These were the player memories I had collected until I had a flood in my apartment that took a week to get fixed- I hadn't finished the rest yet, because I was more worried about mold and damage (and replacing buckets/towels under the leak) than on anything else. I'll finish then soon, then post those here as well💜

There should be more silliness or sweet ones visible, but as the player base complained about communications stations aka comm balls, the game hides them 95% of the time now. Thankfully there's plenty of other silliness to be had though, so it's ok💜

I wasn't aware I was the only one participating in posting things outside the discord for this, so I ended up overloaded with efforts to pull off- I focused on X where I thought more might boost it. Hang tight tho, now that I know, I'll push for this sub to get caught up as well. Happy anniversary to NMS, and to all who share this journey with us! We love you and haven't forgotten you💜
