Through online events and community forums, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with other players.
But what about when you want to actually play together?
For that, there are Portals.
Looking to grow some plants in No Man’s Sky?
Here’s the full rundown!
In this case, that would be the Alien Monolith structure.
Youve likely stumbled across plenty of these in your time.
The large, black altars arethe intended method of locating a nearby Portal.
Using An Exocraft
Finding a Monolith is fairly easy.
Instead, you may be directed toward alien plaques or ruins.
If that happens, simply visit the marked location and have another go.

Can You Claim Portals?
you might’t really ‘claim’ a Portal as your own.
Anyone who finds a Portal can use that Portal if they have the Glyphs and elements to do so.
However,youcancreate a base near a Portal so that you might easily access that Portalwhenever you want.
Constructing a base next to the portal will prevent anyone else from constructing a basenext to it.
This isn’t really claiming ownership of a Portal, but it’s close.
Simply construct a base computer next to the portal tobegin making your base.
Just remember togive this base a name that reminds you that it’s next to a Portal.
Portals only allow you to access systems in your current galaxy.

you could then walk through the glowing ring to be taken to your intended destination.
Be sure to double-check your Glyphs as you input them to avoid mistakes.
They need to be unlocked through exploration or narrative progress.
The simplest way to find any missing runes will be tocheck the local Space Station.
Assuming youve visited the Anomaly at least once, you should start seeing Travelers aboard the station.
These people are unlike the local systems race and are often found with a strange and glowing form.
Repeat this process until you have all 16 glyphs.
