bigbangnet: So I got this trader and got him in a loop so I can learn the gek language in the fastest possible way. So I talk to him and in my loop and I learn 1 word every minute or so. After a while at word 414' the game starts to drop its FPS so I go to the flag and save my progress like it states in the text where it says "Save you're progress and claim sector discovery".

So I shut off the game and restart it again because the game slows down after a while. I boot it up and I'm at word 360... So I'm pissed as you can guess. Is that a bug or is it working as intended because the text doesnt mention "save your progress except your words and similar related stuff". welL nothing specific is told.

Socratatus: Well you`re using an exploit that was not designed to do this, so no it`s not working as intended now because you`ve broke a part of it by exploiting it earlier. Never take some kid`s word for it when he finds a way to cheat the game that something won`t break down the line as is the case here. You do this kind of thing at your own risk.

GreywolfLord: How do I do this exploit?

bigbangnet: I don't consider this an exploit but just talk to any npc that will give you "request [XXX]" where XXX is usually some isotope, health or something similar. Just continue talking to him and eventually he will give you the option to give you a word. just continue talking to him since he's in a loop. So no, its no an exploit, no special gimmick to use to get him to get words.

Is there anything the flag won't save or its intended like that ? me no clue. don't even want to test or want to find out, I moved on with my lost time as it is.

Darkwizard98: I have been using dropbox to save my files they have a pretty good rollback system, used this guide to set it up works great with NMS. www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=FPD5tCOQGDI
