What is the Hexbear Federation of Star Systems?

The HFSS is a group of four star systems in the Euclid Galaxy that is a place for all Hexbears to build bases, farms, and many other glorious creations in a collaborative effort to build a bustling community in the cold vastness of space. While it is not finished yet, when it is complete it will consist only of 1 major shared base among the members, with the rest of the planets being untouched and ready to be explored, conquered, and cultivated by the Hexbears of the galaxy!

Are there any rules?

In No Man's Sky, players are allowed to set their own boundaries for what is and isn't acceptable, (e.g. dictating who can edit parts in your bases, etc) so the only rule we need to worry about is just to be nice to your comrades!

How do I join?

Shoot me a DM on Hexbear, and include your matrix username. I'll invite you to the matrix space.When it's ready I will send portal coordinates to the matrix space. If you don't have all the glyphs unlocked, you can arrange for me or another hexbear to pick you up.

I'm really excited to see how this community turns out, even if only a few comrades end up participating. If you don't have No Man's Sky I'd recommend it, despite it being pricey (I think it's on GOG so you may be able to pick up an installer and still play multiplayer). Thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting you guys in game!

P.S. : I am open to name suggestions as well. I suck ass at naming things.

    "I haven't played No Man's Sky since 2020. I wanted to give it another look at some point, mainly because of all those updates. If there are other Hexbears who are interested, I might be as well.

      I'd highly recommend it if you already have it! It's a whole new game, seriously better than before.

        Let me know if someone else shows interest. I have been holding back to dive back into it. If we get a group together that would be fun.

    I've never played before but I've been interested in trying it for a few year. Problem is I only have a shitty connection and would be playing on a PS4. Would it still work for me to join? I know some online games are still mostly playable even with a bad internet connection, while others are just impossible due to lag. (I get knocked offline a few times per day and I often have to downgrade a streaming video from 720p to 480p to prevent unwatchable amounts of buffering, to give you an idea). I don't have the game yet, so I'm not sure how much any of that makes a difference. I think I'd have to buy the PS4's monthly subscription to be able to play it online too, damnit.

    NMS offline thanks to fitgirl etc was lots of fun a few years ago, played last when the abandoned freighters became a thing, not sure if they have any multiplayer hacks yet.

      I hope they do, maybe using the gog installer would let you play online?

        I think if it would you'd be limited to playing with others with the same 'edition' of the game iirc, or at least that's how it used to be

            Not sure if it has or hasn't, this was 2021 memories. I remember encountering huge iridium farms, but never seeing anyone because of time zone difference kitty-birthday-sad
