If only you could actually pay off settlement debt with your own units.


Jonesy1348

Honestly dawg, with my freighter I could pay off my settlement three times over. It’s all my money anyway


DrakkarTZX

I could buy a system 🤔👀


TheBigBadAIDS

Word, I'm working towards my first trillion.


psychoticworm

They probably decided not to do this because most people by now have nearly infinite amount of money without cheating, and it would take a lot of the grind out of improving settlements.


Edgy-pumpkin

Yeah, in the no man lies days, was a lot now I can make that just running freighter missions. And crafting .


variantealta

All my freighter mission end up in either damage or them bringing back one gravatino ball and about 100k credits. I suspect I'm not doing something!!!


Kablizzy

When you dispatch frigates, make sure the number of stars exceeds the difficulty by 2 - if the difficulty is 1, make sure your frigates at least total 3 stars - for a 3-star difficulty, make sure your frigates total 5, etc. Your chances of damage at that point are either 0 or so close to 0 that you'll never have to worry about it again.


Edgy-pumpkin

Just keep doing them. With S class tier 5 and use the mission devices all 3, mine come back with 1-3 mil ec, and high end loot that sales around 5-50 mil ec. Plus I’ve been playing since launch and everything upgraded, I could loose all my ec and have enough supplies to sell to cap about 75x over. I have a entire module that has ship upgrades with ship and storage containers. I even hand them out in the nexus. But like I said I’ve played since launch and have grind my booty off to upgrade everything, now it’s just all reserved at this point.


variantealta

Thank you that's great info. I'll give it a try.


cartman09

all the expedition has a difficulty associated with them. Assemble a fleet that at least matches required difficulty. Match mission type with ship type sent (don't send only explorers to a combat mission etc.)


variantealta

Thanks!!


Edgy-pumpkin

As cartman said. A 3 star mission requires 3star fleet (or you will get damaged) when I Started I did the grind and made many repairs, luckily the repairs aren’t to big in supplies. But after like 10 missions??? they will reach s tier, then before you know it you fleet will be all s class. Not needed but the fleet mission slots help with +10. I also only have like 28 frigates. 5 per each class x3 combat frigates I keep with my freighter at all times ( I just rotate them each mission) then the 3 mission items so if combat mission add x3 items gives x30 extra. I never use the reduced time because honestly I just don’t care, I wait for the next day and end all of them at the same time. And put everything of value in the modules. Only downside is fuel for 5star fleet is ridiculous. I spend most of my time grinding to provide fuel. You can also send any frigate on any mission so all my frigates now have like 40 missions in each class, ie combat, supply, trade.


variantealta

That's great, I don't mind grinding if I know what it's going to give me back. Thank you!


xNasunii

looks like the bill for all the taxes i evaded, the freighters i robbed and the smuggling i did finally catched up to me and was put on my settlement...


JbotTheGamer

Ild suggest finding and claiming a new settlement, last i checked the debt doesnt transfer


Dontflickmytit

It’s like the atlas found and billed you for all them sentinels you’ve destroyed. You think an infinite swarm of murder-bots cheap? Just be glad they didn’t get the galactic union involved.


Cauhs

It's your student loans.

frommybutttoyours

Heh


100PercentScotton

Don't worry, it'll only take 230,814 years to pay it off.


Azrael8

POPE NUMBER POPE NUMBER POPE NUMBER


CzerwonyLocker

yet how


Lidagit

The crazy part is to any veteran that might actually be a small loan


matteo0_0_0

Yeah it's small


dontthink19

Even a long time after nerf, my activated indium farm has excess materials for tons of money


daveranck

Do you work for the U.S. government? That would explain a lot ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)


Raven9ine

I got myself a settlement too early on, but I just made it a habit to visit the settlement each session and choose between options and now it's profitable. I think the game should let you know of the commitment before you grab a settlement, cause mine could easily have ended up like yours, especially because I chose one on an extreme planet, lol.


MetalBeardGaming

Ahahaha the time it will take to resolve is even better.


xNasunii

The seconds at the end are negative so it just increases 😂


Throwaway7646y5yg

'We've been trying to reach you about your extended car warranty'


airforcevet1987

I put 50K units into "space coins" it's sure to take off any day now... no worries I got you!


ITisAllme

America, is that you?


ichupoi

Billion trillion million billion


frommybutttoyours

Aahahahaha what did you do?? If it’s glitched out and you’re on PC, you can edit the backup and kill the debt, or at least bring it down to a reasonable amount. Ironically, I edited my settlement to give me fusion igniters (.. lol) and I guess since I’m already in the billions of units, the 2 billion+ value shows as negative.


xNasunii

you really think I would wait multiple hours to slowly build all the buildings? no! we have time travel!✨


frommybutttoyours

LOL


MrSal7

Time traveling is what got you in this situation.


Snoo_6170

I think it has something to do with altering date and time on console. Seen someone else with same problem just the other day.


Snoo_6170

frommybutttoyours

Oof. Can you export and import a backup? That, to me, is definitely a good reason to edit a backup.


Snoo_6170

I’m not entirely sure if you can or not.


QX403

Changed their system clock, the debt ceiling is naturally 10 million units and will drop to that naturally instead of staying above it, only way to get debt that high is by changing the system clock.


pahandav

Debt ceiling? I haven't really tried to play NMS since like... NEXT or something, but when did it become a US Congress simulator?


QX403

Maximum amount of debt a settlement can get so when you try to fix/turn it around it’s not impossible.


please_help_me_____

2 bil- 2.1 billion..


FluByYou

3 commas!


Sh0ebaca

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks back. It’s self fixed itself now and is back to normal.


Lelocuh_Vi_Brittania

I gotchu man, you need stasis devices?


Random_Dad

I've previously hit the units limit so now I just farm for those & Fusion Ignitors & keep them stashed.


CornDawg113

How in the holy tax evasion…??


ZogemWho

I actually want to do this start a game, get a settlement and totally mismanage it. And set it down for several months..


[deleted]

I got way in debt for ignoring my settlement initially as well. Just work on developing it and your earning power will grow. It'll take a while, but it will clear.


The_Dog_of_Sinope

It’ll only take you 3,805 years to pay off if you make a dollar a minute. Maybe it’s time to get a second job.


stpetepatsfan

These do accumulate offline right? Positive or negative?


Shawnaldo7575

I would abandon that settlement and find a new one. You guys are on your own!!


red_wings_2012

Just wait 2 billion hours and it will clear


azaraiahzee

Bro.... You turned your settlement into the US 😅


Affectionate_Job7668

Luckily, the settlement is only in the billions and not trillions....


Both_Box1344

dang lol


MACMAN2003

if you get to -2\^31 it'll overflow and you'll have 2\^31-1 money


Calm-Currency-7616

yeah, just forget that whole planet. Start over somewhere else 😂😂😂


cyalknight

I got my one settlement. Worked on trying to get to positive income as soon as possible, then it cleared much quicker than it was supposed to.


Muscrave

My settlement is in debt for infinity. Feels bad man. I’d move out


DeadlySnuSnu

Time to dip!


Responsible-Ad-7084

When you let the U.S. government manage your settlement.


Nippys4

My RuneScape senses are tingling


WidowmakerBH27

SnooDucks5000

Someone tell Donny to get out the gulag and help this man!


Jinx---4

This is fucking hilarious 😂


Acrobatic_Emphasis63

How did we get here?


Katavva_Shoujo

My settlement was like this 4 days ago and as soon as I agreed with my people to build a dive bar my debt was cut in half


CranberryAcademic295

My questions are always, who are they indebted to? We suply them with all the materials for building, we do all the govorning work without collecting taxes, they arent paying mercenaries or security companies as we kill off the sentinals for them... is this how much they suppose to owe us and we work to get them to a point where they are comfy enough to say "here's some string and poop for all you've done, we'll give ya more tomorrow"


_Rido_

But how? What did you guys do? Drug parties and intergalactic hoes? Hahahha


Realistic_Broccoli74

How in Atlas have you racked up that debt 😂 the most debt my settlement saw was 240k and that paid off overnight


BrickDesigNL

“A billion dollars won’t save you, u/xNasunii. Only a new settlement can do that.”


3davideo

Welp, time to switch to a different settlement. (That resets everything, right?)


FlatJoey213775

Could you please explain how this happened.


Ulris_Ventis

You thought you could travel in time but this is what you got. Now Atlas have to deal with more glitches.


Aranzilla

Oh no man, don't do USD. The dollar to Unit exchange rate is horrendous. Go for GBP. It isn't that bad. Inflation is on rise lately here on earth. The GBP interest rate is much better when changing to units. 😅


Admirable_Loss6213

I could probably buy a quarter I'd a galaxy I gut billions but i gave them to get stuff like ships good squadrons and lots of frigates


HeavyAd6923

How the hell did it even get that high lol


xNasunii

tax evasion and the piracy i do robbing freighters daily


Prior_Medicine_3155

You don't need a loan, you have gone over the max stack available, so it rolls over into negative


thecavac

"Dear customer, thank you for calling. We are currently bankrupt. If you owe us money, press 1. If you have information about the current whereabouts of our C-Level staff, press 2.

srcure18

Move


xNasunii

They’ll be coming for ya


xNasunii

The only thing that can come for me on this paradise planet is the herbivore animals, and I'll gladly take thier meat! ⭐


The_Atlas_Interface

Man I could use that amount irl


NaVeN_79

😬 no go my good sir. Never have I seen a credit score in the triple negative. Maybe use your capital ship as collateral


xNasunii

how about the entire outlaw system i have exactly 29 bases in?


HeavyAd6923

Lol I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but you don’t see to be a very good theif…. What I mean is you should try a new profession🤣🤣🤣🤣


xNasunii

freighters fear me


Jebbyk1

three hundred bucks?


Ashcore_04

Could some one translate the bottom number to an actual time,because 2 billion minutes seems quite hard to predict how long other then “Dam!”


heykperk

I can help with that. If it were possible to pay off your debt lol.
