No Man's Sky Portal Address Tool - Information

What is this tool?

This tool helps No Man's Sky players generate, translate, and share portal addresses. It consists of three main features:

  • Generator: Create random portal addresses or input your own.
  • Translator: Convert between hexadecimal addresses and glyph symbols.
  • Gallery: Share and discover interesting locations with the community.

How to use the Generator

The generator allows you to create random portal addresses or input your own. You can also add descriptions, tags, and images to share in the gallery.

How to use the Translator

The translator converts between hexadecimal addresses and glyph symbols. You can toggle between translating from hex to glyphs or from glyphs to hex.

What is the Gallery?

The gallery is a community-driven feature where players can share interesting locations they've discovered. You can add your own discoveries or browse and vote on others' finds.

Why do I need to enter my NMS friendship code?

Your NMS friendship code is used to identify your contributions to the gallery and to prevent duplicate voting. It's not shared publicly and is only used within the tool.

How Portal Addresses Work

In No Man's Sky, portal addresses consist of 12 glyphs chosen from a set of 16 possible glyphs. The first glyph represents the planetary index, the next two the solar system index, followed by one for the planet index, and the remaining eight for specific X, Y, and Z coordinates within that system. By inputting a specific sequence of glyphs, players can teleport to corresponding locations across the vast game world.
