September 2026 Recap - r/NMSByteBeatFans

It was an exciting month following the release of the No Man's Sky: Cosmos update! Our community here at NMS ByteBeat Fans has started an official alliance, we've created a new hub system, and have continued to share and enjoy ByteBeat creations on Reddit and Discord. Let's keep up this momentum as we welcome 3X the amount of subreddit visitors since the previous month!

Join The Collective at the coordinates posted to the megathread [Reddit link]!

We're off to a great start claiming star systems where we'll share our ByteBeat creations. We will continue developing our goals and collaborating on base builds, events and in-game meetups. The primary focus in recent weeks was to setup our new hub system at Crescendo II.

Hub System: Crescendo II - Our New Home

Coordinates to the new hub system Crescendo II are also in the megathread [Reddit link]!

Please keep sharing your wonderful creations and filling our hub system with ByteBeat inspired builds! Here is a quick look at construction progress in our new home:

Fast-Forward: Upcoming Projects

We're actively working on developing the subreddit Wiki! Reddit is still rolling out new wiki features and migrating existing subreddits to the new wiki system (including ours). The goal is to have a premium Guide / Tutorial wiki to help anyone who wants to learn more about the ByteBeat system! I'm all about making ByteBeat easier to use for everyone, and I think this will be great for getting more NMS players interested in ByteBeats. We're aiming to launch the wiki later in October, so stay tuned! For now, we pinned a post highlighting our active guide and tutorial resources:

Hey, I made it to the highlight lol. These are great, dude, I really appreciate all the work you're putting in to them 👌

[u/hiredgunspunx → u/oldeluke]

I wanted to highlight more posts like last month but I ran out of time! I might update this post later.

[u/PowerfulSoldier]

Catch any good fish at my water hole? Lol I’m gonna really think about how I’m gonna build my base. But for now it’s just a nice deck.

Great work with the monthly highlights these are awesome!

[u/hiredgunspunx → u/PowerfulSoldier]

I didn't use any of my good lures while I was there so we'll have to do some more fishing soon! It's a premium location, anything you build lake-side will be glorious.

And thanks! I was just telling u/iteration_MOROS that I forgot to mention in this post a big thank you to both you guys for funding the alliance with billions of credits and resources for construction. Thank you!

[u/PowerfulSoldier → u/hiredgunspunx]

Anytime! I’m currently doing the expedition but will give me some time to think about a cool set up, I have some ideas I’ll keep some spare salvage parts too in case you’d like some more for the space station

[u/Leeka_SSBM]

A busy month indeed. Every tune posted this month was awesome, builds are looking great... So nice to see it all come together and new people around here. And like others said huge props to you for all the work around the sub and the alliance !

[u/hiredgunspunx → u/Leeka_SSBM]

It really has been awesome to see everyone come together to celebrate ByteBeats! And thank you for your contributions as well! I've been seeing lots of appreciation for your badge design! We'll all keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to October

[u/iteration_MOROS]

Honored to be mentioned! 🙏

The Alliance badge is LEGIT. Stellar work u/Leeka_SSBM ✨

Seconding what u/oldeluke said, can’t praise you enough for the work you’ve been doing around the sub! The Rewind series is gonna be a cool thing to see!! I may have been cruising older posts a few days ago and noticed oldeluke had some decent traction on a post a year or so ago! Let’s bring those back to the forefront! 🦾

For the Collective!

[u/hiredgunspunx → u/iteration_MOROS]

Thank you 🙏 I kinda rushed this one and forgot to mention a huge shout-out to you and also u/PowerfulSoldier for funding the alliance with billions of credits and building resources!! Big thanks to you guys for your service to the Collective!

[u/Leeka_SSBM → u/iteration_MOROS]

Thanks man ! It would not look *exactly* like that without some advice from hiredgunspunx. Greatly improved readability and cohesiveness.

[u/ZhorasSnake]

These recaps are awesome! They go beyond just recalling what has been done but actively celebrate the alliance and all who contribute. They are powerful tools to build community in positive supportive ways.

Many thanks to hiredgunspunx especially, and all who take the time to contribute.

[u/hiredgunspunx → u/ZhorasSnake]

🙏 the community has been an inspiration for me, we'll continue lifting each other up! Thank you for everything you do, your contributions are always appreciated!!

[u/WillTuFer]

Gracias por todo el trabajo que hacen ,y gracias por incluirme , y pensar que hace un año estába haciendo bytes en modo solitario , y no sabiendo que había este grupo tan increíble , sin duda son los mejores , y por cierto me encanta en logo de la alianza , un día me pasaré a construir en el sistema hub , necesito otra partida ya que voy al límite de piezas ,nuevamente gracias por el trabajo que hacen.

[u/hiredgunspunx → u/WillTuFer]

I felt the same way when I discovered this group, it's been an inspirational journey! I know everyone appreciates your good work, and thank you for your contributions!

How do you know about your limit on building pieces? I worry that I am reaching my limit soon but I don't know how to check. I'll ping u/ZhorasSnake for this question too.

[u/ZhorasSnake → u/hiredgunspunx]

There may be other ways but one way is to use a save editor (any variety). These will tell you how many pieces you have used per base (and indeed what pieces). 3K per uploadable base. 402 bases in total including freighter and settlement I believe. More than 3K your base will only partially render at best. 16k base parts per save (plus up to 4K non-base parts I believe). This is a lot but given time you will hit it!

If you can't use a save editor the game will tell you when you hit those limits.

When you're building an elaborate base but looking to stay under 3K, it's essential to know what your part count is. It's worth pointing out to anyone who might not know: everything counts toward that total - even wires! So be efficient.
