Now that you have an idea as to what can be done in each game mode in No Man’s Sky, below lies a video guide on how to find portals, glyphs and friends in the lite multiplayer introduced in Update 1.3.
To find your friends or other players you must get to a point where you can use the portal system to find them on the planet where they currently reside, after finding a glyph that allows you to input the address that a friend has given you, the other player (or players) will appear as a floating orb. You will not see their Avatar, but the orb will reflect their movements and you can speak to them.
The video showing the above comes in by Xaine’s World.

Changes to some of the features noted above are more than likely to come in the near future seeing how patch 1.31 addresses bugs and crashes. So it’s best to do cross-reference in the future in case something is changed.
Lastly, more information on No Man’s Sky and Update 1.3 can be found over on the game’s official wikia page, which the game itself is available right now for PC and PS4.
