I have 230 hours logged into this game. I have 8 of the 16 glyphs. 3 days ago I had 0. The ONLY reason I have that many is I spent the last 20 in game hours warping, go to space station, find traveler? No. Warp again, go to space station. Find traveler? No. Repeat this process until finally after an hour or 3 you find the traveler. Find his grave, get 1 glyph.

I also get the space suit inventory upgrade, and the one from the annomoly. Only recently found out you can get suit tech slots expanded the same way.

Now my usual thoughts is that warping for the sake of finding travelers/upgrades goes against the whole foundation of this game. But I just got someone new into this game, and I KNOW she isn't going to find the 16 glyphs fast. I hadn't made any attempt to get them, and I hadn't found one in 190 hours.

My only hope is to do the glyph finding fast on my own, and hopefully she can send me a picture of her glyphs using her cell phone. Then I can come to her.

But I don't feel bad for cheating like that, when EVERYTHING in this game is a grind.

I don't think anyone in the NMS community really cares if other people cheat. (I also wouldn't even call what you did cheating tbh.)

But I do wish Hello Games hadn't combined Normal / Survival / Creative all into one universe. I preferred playing with other people who were subject to the same constraints as me (even if the PC people could easily circumvent those constraints).

I would just play Permadeath but I've been on my Normal save since release night and couldn't really stand to give it all up.

Does NMS not have multiple saves?
