<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.

Additional Info
Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
For example:
Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

#

-# pointdown to view info below, enable embeds externallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Storage Augmentation Drop Rates**

Scrapping a ship at the Starship Outfitting Station in a Space Station (7) has a chance to drop Storage Augmentation modules.

See: Image Drop Chances »

info Living Ships can not be scrapped.

Tips

The amount of storage augmentation modules that drops is fixed to ship class and seed (the looks and name of the ship are also fixed to a ship's seed). It is not affected by how many (usable) slots the ship has.
Therefore, when buying ships to scrap, buy Exotics, or low inventory A / S class Explorers, Fighters and Solars, as they're less expensive.
If a ship drops [X] number of storage augmentation modules, obtaining and scrapping more copies of the exact same ship -- in the same system, with the same class, ship name, etc. -- will drop the same [X] number of augments.
To help you farm augments, keep a log of which ships have a higher augment drop number when scrapped - see example »

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Early Game Inventory Management

What should I keep?
gdiv
It's recommended to keep only items that benefit your survival or are needed for traveling and missions, such as :

Oxygen/Life Support Gel - Used for life support recharging.
Sodium/Sodium Nitrate - Used for recharging base Hazardous Protection.
Copper/Chromatic Metal - Used for many things, Chromatic Metal will be a needed resource throughout the game. Copper is listed here because it refines to Chromatic Metal and you always start in a yellow system with Copper.
Carbon/Condensed Carbon - Used for recharging Mining Beam.
Dihydrogen - Used for Launch Fuel and Life Support Gel, as well as refining recipes.
Silicate Powder - Used for recharging the Terrain Manipulator and you will often have it in your inventory.
Ferrite Dust - Used for many things and will be needed for early game missions.
Ion Batteries - Used for recharging Hazardous Protection Modules.

Info Sell or discard extra stacks (the smaller stacks) of these easily obtained materials, the game will teach you how to find them, and you can also utilize the catalogue for pinning materials that the game will then guide you to.
gdiv
Tritium and Launch Fuel - Used for recharging Pulse Drive and Launch Thrusters. Keep these as recharge materials until you start finding:
Uranium and Pyrite - Used for recharging Launch Thrusters and Pulse Drive. Once you start finding these elements (or can buy them), you should gather them. They are far more efficient for charging.
Salvaged Data - Used for unlocking base parts. Following the [main story line](#nms-questions message) and other quests will unlock many things for free, you will use salvaged data for the building parts you don't unlock this way.

Info You can stop collecting Launch Fuel once you have ample Uranium, but Tritium will be needed later for making Freighter Fuel which is used for frigate expeditions.
gdiv
Once storage space is less of an issue, hanging on to these items is recommended to do. Keep in mind these are more mid game items, so feel free to sell them if inventory slots are at a premium still.

Salvaged Frigate Modules - Used for unlocking freighter tech that upgrade various stats and base parts specific to freighters.
[Starship Storage Augmentations](#nms-questions message) - Used for expanding your starship's inventory capacity.
Cargo Bulkheads - Used for expanding your freighter's inventory capacity.
Multitool Expansion Slots - Used for expanding your multitool's inventory capacity.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Information on Quicksilver** <:quicksilver:514812470095773696>

Quicksilver is not a microtransaction currency. You can obtain Quicksilver through missions at the Nexus.

Daily Quicksilver Missions
You can complete one 400 Quicksilver mission per day, if you miss one, you will be able to do two the next day, up to three available missions. The secondary reward and type of mission refresh every 10 minutes.

Weekend Missions
Weekend missions run from Friday 6pm UTC until Monday 9am UTC and offer 1,800 Quicksilver. You can only complete this once per week. This mission will be the same type and take place in the same system for everyone. The secondary rewards will still refresh every 10 minutes.

Spending Quicksilver
You can spend Quicksilver at Polo's Quicksilver Synthesis Companion (QSC), also found in the Space Anomaly. While most Quicksilver items are cosmetic, there are exceptions such as: Void Eggs, base building parts, starship trails and figurines for your cockpit. Unless the item is consumable (e.g. fireworks, Void Eggs), all purchased items in the QSC shop are unlocked account-wide, instead of per save.

Info The QSC is also where you redeem Expedition and Twitch rewards some of which cannot be purchased with Quicksilver.

Community Research Milestones
Community Research rewards are unlocked in phases by the community completing any type of Nexus mission, not just Quicksilver missions. When a phase is complete, a new item is unlocked for purchase at the QSC.
All gamemodes and players collectively contribute to the progression of Community Research.

Alternative sources of Quicksilver
You can receive Quicksilver by speaking to Nada periodically during the main storyline and/or through the condensed stellar ice pulse/space encounter.

#bot-spam Commands:
Run !faq-maps for help locating the Nexus and the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion.
Run !tier to see the current progress for Community Research missions.

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

-# pointdown to view info below, enable embeds externallink

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.

Additional Info
Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
For example:
Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

This is just an example of adjacency and supercharged slots. Note that supercharging bonuses always beats adjacency bonuses. Therefore, to maximize tech stats, split apart tech to utilize supercharged slots, as they will yield superior results over maintaining perfect adjacency.

Expedition Info

Game mode explained:

Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide.

Info To get past expedition rewards, you must wait for possible future expedition re-runs (see past expeditions) or possible future Twitch Twitch Drops campaigns featuring old expedition rewards (see past campaigns). You may also obtain certain rewards via other unconventional means, including ship trading or using a "service bot" in the Creative Hub Discord. Additionally, PC players ( Steam GOG GamePass ) can get past rewards via save editing or #nms-modding.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Spawn / Tier Info**

Default System Starship pool

This will always be a total of 21 starships, initially distributed partly depending on the system dominant race (Gek = Hauler, Korvax = Explorer, Vy'keen = Fighter), as follows:

7 Shuttles
7 ships of the dominant race
6 ships of the 2 non-dominant races, 3 ships from each.
1 Exotic

Starship Spawn Probabilities / Solar Override

From the default system pool, one or more ships are then replaced by Solar ship(s), using the override probabilities for 'Normal' as well as 'Outlaw' systems, shown in the image below:
Image - Ship Spawn Probabilities (simple) »
Image - Ship Spawn Probabilities (advanced) »

Note: There may be additional different 'Pirate' ships in a system when a Raid is initiated.

Starship Tier Info

NPC Starships will spawn, seeded with a variety of Technology, Supercharged (Boost) and Cargo slots, as well as a range of base stats depending on their Spawn Size, and Class, according to the below charts:
Image - Starship Max Slots Info »
Image - Starship In Depth Tier Info »

Note: The Base Launch Cost values are higher in Survival and Permadeath gamemodes.

Additional Starship Facts

You can currently own:

12 starships:
- Max. 6 visible in the Freighter Hangar, where you can change the ships on the pads, using the Quick Menu (summon).
1 Freighter
30 Frigates
4 Squadron members:
Slots can be unlocked on the Freighter at the Bridge terminal.
Non-living ships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGB systems. An Indium Drive (Starship) or Temporal Warp Computer (Freighter) will cover all systems, no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range -- most notable for the Freighter.

Requirement: playing solo; if you were playing with friends recently, save+reload from main menu after disabling multiplayer.

info When the player current position is 4000 Light Years away from current mission location or more, a button appears in the Log tab that allows to restart the last mission stage. Most commonly used ways to trigger it:

Space Anomaly Teleporter (teleport to a Featured base, check Log tab; retry with different base if needed);
Warping (e.g. 4 1000LY distance warps in the same direction, but contrary to Current Mission destination in galaxy map);

After getting far away enough, be sure to give the game a few seconds to recalculate distances, then check Log tab.

Interact with the same Monolith twice to locate Portal, [see this post](#nms-questions message).

📚 Notes:

Portals don't have to be unlocked via any quest.
To fully use the portal network, the player must unlock all 16 portal glyphs and purple star systems.
- Run !faq-portalglyphs and !faq-purplesystems in #bot-spam to learn more.
A portal is not the same as a teleporter. (see image )
For planets in uncharted systems, obtain the glyph address of that planet via photomode, and portal to it from another system.

Can't summon a ship?

If you save+reload restore point at a planet base, you should then be allowed to quick menu/summon any of your ships, regardless of state.

This is a failsafe added by the devs to ensure players never lose ships in their collection.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Using a Portal**

After finding a Portal, how do I use it?

On one of its sides, there's a terminal - it will pop out of the ground once you approach it. Interacting with it for the first time should prompt you to charge the portal up, and that's done by individually charging up all glyphs in the glyph wheel to 100%.

portal0 portal4 portal8 portalc » Organic: 20 Carbon, 7 Condensed Carbon, or 10 Oxygen per glyph.
portal1 portal5 portal9 portald » Catalytic: 10 Sodium or 4 Sodium Nitrate per glyph.
portal2 portal6 portala portale » Earth: 20 Cobalt, 20 Deuterium, 20 Di-hydrogen, 5 Ionised Cobalt, or 50 Salt per glyph.
portal3 portal7 portalb portalf » Stellar: 20 Copper, 10 Cadmium, 7 Emeril, 5 Indium or 4 Quartzite per glyph.
gdiv
I charged up the portal, but nothing is happening?

Double check all glyphs charge bars. Are one or more not 100% charged? - see example.
gdiv
I fully charged up the portal; now, which option do I choose?

Activate Portal will display the address input screen - Each portal address is made up of 12 glyphs. A Portal can only lead to locations in the same galaxy.
Request Planet Address will provide the current planet's glyph address, though this option is barely used today, due to the glyph address also showing up in photo mode.
gdiv
After selecting Activate Portal, I don't have any glyphs available to input.
You need to learn the 16 glyphs to fully use the portal network -- although, after having learned 1 - 2 glyphs you could go places, just very limited choices.
gdiv gdiv
📖 Did you know? The portal you charged up should still be good for a few more trips, even to different destinations. Bookmarking it with a base computer is probably a wise choice.
gdiv
Run [!Faq-PortalGlyphs](#nms-questions message) and [!Faq-Portal](#nms-questions message) in #bot-spam to learn more about glyphs and finding portals.

Why pirate? It's an easy way to get some useful resources, such as chromatic metal, gold, frigate fuel etc., salvaged frigate modules (these are used to unlock upgrades and base parts for your freighter) and contraband cargo; which can sell for high prices in non-Outlaw systems.
Where to pirate? Outlaw systems are considered the best to use as there are no System Authorities (sentinels).
How to pirate? Freighters have cargo pods attached to the hull that you can shoot - if you want to be selective, first scout the pods by approaching and aiming at them.
Shooting pods escorting the freighters or the hull pods will result in system race standing loss, and outlaw faction standing increase.
When you start destroying the cargo pods, enemy ships will start spawning. Don't shoot them, or more ships will come. Guns on the freighter are weak compared to enemy ships.
To escape: Land on the Space Anomaly, a station or any friendly freighter, including your own. You can also boost away until the Pulse Drive is ready to engage.
Recover standing: Land at a trade outpost in a system for the applicable race and buy race curiosities to gift to NPCs. The curiosities may also be acquired from various missions and containers, as well as frigate expeditions. A Forged Passport will reset your standing to 1 when currently negative, while it increases your standing +1 when currently positive.

Requirement: At one of your bases, build all the exocraft geobays you want to have for later use. They can't be built on the freighter base, other than that pick any base you like.

Then, in the future, when on any planet in the universe, the actual summoning part is done using one of these methods:

a) Build the portable Exocraft Summoning Station on the current planet, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s), delete Exocraft Summoning Station.

b) Build the Orbital Exocraft Materializer freighter room, summon freighter to current system, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s).

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

The Atlas Path objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task you with progressing on to the next Atlas Station.

To unlock all the blueprints, you must have reached Magellan rank by completing 50 Journey Milestones. Check your milestone progress and rank in your Catalog & Guide.

info The Atlas Path can be progressed in tandem with the main story mission titled The Purge. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for more details.

Craft the last seed, Heart of the Sun, after unlocking it. For a list of resources you'll need, see image »

Depending on the choice made at the 11th (final) Atlas Station, you will either learn the Star Seed or the Mark of the Denier exosuit technology blueprint. An endless mission titled Atlas Eternal will then be available, rewarding 1 Atlas word, and approximately 600 nanites with each additional interaction.

Known issues:

Leaving the final Atlas Interface system to get resources for crafting Heart of the Sun can lead to bugs. We strongly recommend that you craft Heart of the Sun before entering the last Atlas station.
You may end up with two Atlas Eternal missions in your Log if you unlocked Mark of the Denier.

AlertYellow Viewing system economy/conflict information before warping in requires scanner(s) tech to be installed in your active ship or freighter.

• Active ships:
The Economy Scanner and Conflict Scanner blueprints can be purchased from Hyperion at the Space Anomaly (run !faq-maps in #bot-spam to know more), for 150 Nanites each.

Info You may also unlock the blueprints by completing the Weapon Research secondary mission.

The Economy Scanner costs 5 Microprocessors and 1 Wiring Loom to install.
The Conflict Scanner costs 1 Walker Brain and 1 Wiring Loom to install.

The Living Ship's Wormhole Brain can be acquired by installing the Wormhole Brain Implant, which you can get from Psychonic eggs, a random drop from fleet expeditions with at least 1 Living Frigate.

gdiv
• Freighter:
The Interstellar Scanner blueprint is available at the freighter upgrade terminal for 4 Salvaged Frigate Modules. It costs 160 Chromatic Metal, 70 Magnetized Ferrite and 2 Wiring Looms to install.

Note: Save+Reload within the base boundary, if expansion is not working.

Open the Build Menu near the Base Computer and select a base part. Make sure you edit the correct base on the part's info panel.
Walk away from the Base Computer until the Build Menu displays the Base Out of Range error (±300u).
Walk back until the error message disappears (inside base boundary).
Aiming towards your goal, place a 'building' part in front of you (each part expands ±50u). Decorations may not work to expand.
Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 until you reach your goal, or reached maximal distance.

Max expansion is ±1000u away from your Base Computer in any direction.
A maximal distance of ±2000u can be covered with the base computer dead centre.

Did you know? After expanding, and completing the build, you can delete the parts used for the base boundary expansion.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Starship Storage Augmentation Drop Rates**

Scrapping a ship at the Starship Outfitting Station in a Space Station (7) has a chance to drop Storage Augmentation modules.

See: Image Drop Chances »

info Living Ships can not be scrapped.

Tips

The amount of storage augmentation modules that drops is fixed to ship class and seed (the looks and name of the ship are also fixed to a ship's seed). It is not affected by how many (usable) slots the ship has.
Therefore, when buying ships to scrap, buy Exotics, or low inventory A / S class Explorers, Fighters and Solars, as they're less expensive.
If a ship drops [X] number of storage augmentation modules, obtaining and scrapping more copies of the exact same ship -- in the same system, with the same class, ship name, etc. -- will drop the same [X] number of augments.
To help you farm augments, keep a log of which ships have a higher augment drop number when scrapped - see example »

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> Spectral Classifications

In the Galaxy Map, below the star system name, you can find the spectral class letter:

• F & G = Yellow (copper/activated copper)
• K & M = Red (cadmium/activated cadmium)
• E = Green (emeril/activated emeril)
• B & O = Blue (indium/activated indium)
• X & Y = Purple (quartzite/activated quartzite)

info Colour blind filters are available in Options > General Options > Galaxy Map Colour Filter.

Regular starships and freighters require hyperdrive tech upgrades to be able to reach RGBP systems. An Atlantid Drive (Starship) or Resonance Matrix (Freighter) will cover all systems; there is no need for the previous drives to be installed other than a boost to range (most notable for the Freighter). Living ships only share the Atlantid Drive requirement to reach purple systems.

❗ To reach purple systems, completion of the 'In Stellar Multitudes' mission is required. Obtaining the required drives in any other way, will not work (unless current save is an Expedition17 converted save) .

Note: There's no information in game files that proves the host star temperature and oddities have any influence at all on system planet biome probability chances.

📖 Did you know? A star system may have only its stellar metal, its activated version or both.

<:pirate:930644946615152660> **How to Pirate & Recover Standing**

Why pirate? It's an easy way to get some useful resources, such as chromatic metal, gold, frigate fuel etc., salvaged frigate modules (these are used to unlock upgrades and base parts for your freighter) and contraband cargo; which can sell for high prices in non-Outlaw systems.
Where to pirate? Outlaw systems are considered the best to use as there are no System Authorities (sentinels).
How to pirate? Freighters have cargo pods attached to the hull that you can shoot - if you want to be selective, first scout the pods by approaching and aiming at them.
Shooting pods escorting the freighters or the hull pods will result in system race standing loss, and outlaw faction standing increase.
When you start destroying the cargo pods, enemy ships will start spawning. Don't shoot them, or more ships will come. Guns on the freighter are weak compared to enemy ships.
To escape: Land on the Space Anomaly, a station or any friendly freighter, including your own. You can also boost away until the Pulse Drive is ready to engage.
Recover standing: Land at a trade outpost in a system for the applicable race and buy race curiosities to gift to NPCs. The curiosities may also be acquired from various missions and containers, as well as frigate expeditions. A Forged Passport will reset your standing to 1 when currently negative, while it increases your standing +1 when currently positive.

The Atlas Path objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task you with progressing on to the next Atlas Station.

To unlock all the blueprints, you must have reached Magellan rank by completing 50 Journey Milestones. Check your milestone progress and rank in your Catalog & Guide.

info The Atlas Path can be progressed in tandem with the main story mission titled The Purge. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for more details.

Craft the last seed, Heart of the Sun, after unlocking it. For a list of resources you'll need, see image »

Depending on the choice made at the 11th (final) Atlas Station, you will either learn the Star Seed or the Mark of the Denier exosuit technology blueprint. An endless mission titled Atlas Eternal will then be available, rewarding 1 Atlas word, and approximately 600 nanites with each additional interaction.

Known issues:

Leaving the final Atlas Interface system to get resources for crafting Heart of the Sun can lead to bugs. We strongly recommend that you craft Heart of the Sun before entering the last Atlas station.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> The Atlas Path

The Atlas Path objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task you with progressing on to the next Atlas Station.

To unlock all the blueprints, you must have reached Magellan rank by completing 50 Journey Milestones. Check your milestone progress and rank in your Catalog & Guide.

info The Atlas Path can be progressed in tandem with the main story mission titled The Purge. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for more details.

Craft the last seed, Heart of the Sun, after unlocking it. For a list of resources you'll need, see image »

Depending on the choice made at the 11th (final) Atlas Station, you will either learn the Star Seed or the Mark of the Denier exosuit technology blueprint. An endless mission titled Atlas Eternal will then be available, rewarding 1 Atlas word, and approximately 600 nanites with each additional interaction.

Known issues:

Leaving the final Atlas Interface system to get resources for crafting Heart of the Sun can lead to bugs. We strongly recommend that you craft Heart of the Sun before entering the last Atlas station.
You may end up with two Atlas Eternal missions in your Log if you unlocked Mark of the Denier.

Awakenings
Alone Amidst the Stars
Ghosts in the Machine (requires progression in Expanding the Base, a secondary quest)
A Leap in the Dark
The First Traveller
Patterns in Time
16 / 16
The Purge - 16 warps in any direction. It does not require travelling to the core.
New Beginnings - Like the Space Anomaly mission, this will forever remain in your Log tab (even after this quest's completion).

Info Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.

#

-# pointdown to view info below, enable embeds externallink

Q: Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: Despite what its objective says, no. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system.
Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress before warping out again.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Organic (Living) Frigates**

AlertRed You can not recruit a living frigate if your fleet already has 30 frigates.
You can only recruit a living frigate once per system.

With Dream Aerial (Required for your first)

To obtain your first organic frigate, send out fleet expeditions until you receive a blueprint for the Dream Aerial. Craft the Dream Aerial (1 Solar Mirror and 3 Living Glass) and pulse drive in space with your ship. You will get an encounter with an organic frigate that asks many questions to determine the stats of the frigate. After you finish the questions, claim the living frigate.

Info Using the Dream Aerial randomizes class, which is otherwise fixed per system. The Dream Aerial is only used this first time, don't hold on to it: delete it or give it to another player that needs one.
gdiv
With Anomaly Detectors

After acquiring your first organic frigate, you may now use Anomaly Detectors to acquire more. These are rare drops from blowing up asteroids.

Activate pulse drive (as stated above, use an Anomaly detector before doing so). Keep your pulse drive fueled as this may take some time depending on the system. While pulsing you may see alerts for rare objects or traders, ignore them. The Anomaly detector will be consumed if you exit pulse. Continue pulsing until you receive a Whalesong signal to discover a living frigate with these price ranges:

C-Class: 7,500,000 - 12,500,000 units.
B-Class: 15,000,000 - 25,000,000 units.
A-Class: 26,250,000 - 43,750,000 units.
S-Class: 37,500,000 - 62,500,000 units.

Info Known Issues:

If you have a void egg in any of your inventories, its space encounter will keep spamming you, and can prevent you from getting the Whalesong signal encounter. To workaround this bug, retrieve the egg and store it in your suit, then go to space, pulse until hailed by the alien mothership, and select Hatch on the dialog. Ignore the Starbirth mission marker, you can now select any different mission, and return to using anomaly detectors.
If you begin to notice any odd graphical glitches, stop and pulse in the opposite direction.

Additional Info
Feeding food to an organic frigate (freighter fleet management terminal > click on an organic frigate), will change its stats. Anything you feed a specific frigate should always reproduce that same result.
For example:
Feeding your frigate item A yields one result. Feeding it item B yields another. If you feed it item A again, it will be the same result you got the first time you fed it item A.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Galaxy Information**

How many galaxies are there in No Man's Sky?

There are 256 galaxies in No Man's Sky.

Euclid is labeled as Galaxy #0 in game files, but often referred to as Galaxy #1 by the community.
Odyalutai is #255 in game files, referred to as #256 by the community.

Players may only access galaxy 255 (Odyalutai) if they join the game of someone, or visit a base in galaxy 255, or save edit to get there.

Players who join the game of someone in galaxy 256 (or any other number outside the range 0-255) will instead see Odyalutai; with stars and planets in identical positions but core colour, procgen names and tech seeds shuffled.
gdiv
What happens if you warp through the core of galaxy 255?

You return to Euclid, the starting galaxy for all game modes except some expeditions.
gdiv
I've heard about a galaxy 257 called Yilsrussimil; does it exist?

It's possible to use a save editor to reposition yourself into galaxy 257. However, the galaxy name will be shown as Euclid, Odyalutai, or Yilsrussimil, depending upon where you see it shown in the game. Further, players in Odyalutai using the same coordinates show up in your system, demonstrating it's more of a glitch in the game than a true place; after saving and reloading, you will be shown in Odyalutai, and unable to see the Yilsrussimil name henceforth without using the save editor again. So, galaxy 257 does not exist; if it's anything, it's a display artifact when using the save editor.
gdiv
What about negative numbered galaxies?
No Man's Sky can generate galaxy names for any number you put into the save file (outside the range 0-255), but you will be in Odyalutai (galaxy 255).
gdiv
How many regions are in each galaxy, and how many systems per region?

There are approximately 4.27 billion regions per galaxy (4095x4095x255), with regions possibly having as few as 122 star systems and as many as 600+.
gdiv
What types of galaxies are there, and how do they differ?

Lush, Empty, Normal and Harsh; the galaxy type affects the distribution of planet biomes in yellow systems, and probability of extreme survival planets.
