Steam VR is becoming a bloated mess, Open Composite is the way to go to run Steam VR games long as the game is supported ok in it.

I've just gotten to the story part where you come across an abandoned, damaged starship (still pretty early on). I'm hoping I can fix it up and start using it, but I'm not sure about getting or refining some of the needed materials. I've build a second small base there so I can find my way back. My game was a bit crashy tonight--it froze twice while I was getting my base put together, so I had to redo a bunch of pain-in-the-ass resource collection and building.Does anyone know how to reduce the beam size of the terrain manipulator for mining deposits? If I go into the Mode menu on the back of the right hand, I can change the beam size for creating terrain (with the grip buttons), but I can't get it to take for removing terrain. I've read that you get much more resources from a deposit with the smallest beam size, so it would be nice to figure out how to do that.Edit: I read on Reddit that if you open the left hand menu (Quick Menu), then the grip buttons work to resize the terrain manipulator beam for subtractive mode. Will test tonight.
I have crashes more often when I utilize Steam VR Beta.

Man, I'm really getting sucked into NMS. I did get that crashed ship up and running--I've repaired the flight systems, weapons, and shields, but half the inventory slots are damaged (and need a ton of materials to repair), so I'm currently looking for an opportunity to trade it in towards a better ship (I haven't had enough cash for anything I've wanted so far, even with the trade-in of this ship). I need to do some serious resource gathering so I can raise enough money to upgrade my ship and buy a better multi-tool. I'm slowly getting the hang of everything, but there is so much to learn in this game!The latest VR improvements have moved from the experimental branch to the main game as of yesterday, so if you're having performance issues or are waiting for patches, it's worth it to jump in. I'm getting decent performance on the High preset (with no AA) with 150% resolution in SteamVR. I'm going to try the AA settings again now that they've apparently fixed it.

I finally built an exocraft. The terrain is so rough that it wasn't fun to drive but that was my first drive.
I also own a fleet with 2 ships. I lost one ship on some mission. I feel like I wasted U 8 mil on a freighter that's not earning me any money. If the freighter survives an expedition I get like 100k units but it costs me millions if they get destroyed.
They do a good job in guiding you through active tutorials but the game is still very complicated.
Tip: Once you get a frigate use it to travel because it uses far less antimatter than your personal spaceship.
