🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

<: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.

<: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 »

Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
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.

<: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 »

3 Star Resources: LeyLines

Leylines are lines of longitude (vertical lines that go from north to south)
that will have [3 star Resources](#nms-questions message) spawns randomly distributed on them.

When looking for spawns try to search by travelling West or East. North or South runs a risk of searching between leylines where no deposits spawn.
If you find a deposit all you have to do is to go straight North or South and you will most likely find more spots.

You can also use NMS Leyline Calculator made by our members, @thin sentinel and @waxen ingot that can help with locating leylines on any planet:

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
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.

<: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.

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> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

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.

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.

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

<: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 »

Multitool Tech Layout

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.

This is an example of perfect adjacency and supercharged slot arrangement for freighters. Different freighters can have different supercharged slot layouts which can result in varied stats.

<:info:850810445577453658> Multi-tool hunting basics in a nutshell

Multi-tools (MT) are found in cabinets spawned in inhabited systems: in the Space Station, in Minor Settlement buildings, etc.
Some MT types (atlantid, staff) require quest progress to obtain them.
In the vast majority of cases, class is fixed per cabinet. (deeper MT spawning mechanics is an advanced topic)
Cabinet class drop chance is affected by system economy tier.
When the game loads a system, multitools will be drawn from the selected pool, and assigned to each and every cabinet in the system.
A pool is a group of multitool designs, which may or may not be of different types. To keep it simple for now, there's 1 pool per planet, and that each pool can have 2-4 different designs.
To swap active pool, we save+reload on a planet in the system. This forces the game to respawn all cabinets, this time drawing from that planet's pool.
The same cabinet will always spawn the same MT when the same pool is loaded.
This means that to see all possible 2-4 designs per pool, we'll need to inspect multiple cabinets (with each pool swap). For that purpose, it is recommended to find 4 cabinets of different classes, ideally one of each.
Supercharged (SC) slot layout is set by the cabinet, until/if a class upgrade is done in which case SC slot(s) will be set by MT - and with the same results for every player that gets that MT from that same cabinet.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
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.

<: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.

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> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

Beginner Tips

Settings

If this is your first time playing No Man's Sky:

• There are multiple game modes available, with different difficulty presets. Creative, Relaxed, Normal and Survival game mode saves can all play with each other, while Permadeath and Expedition game modes are separate.

• Go to Options > Network, and disable ability of other players to damage you, edit your bases, or edit your base terrain (discourages griefers). See multiplayer visual guide ».

• Excluding content designed with multiplayer in mind, progress isn't shared between players. It is in fact recommended to play the main (tutorial) missions with multiplayer disabled to prevent issues, at least until you unlock access to the Space Anomaly.

• If you are on PC and want to use the Plasma or Geo Cannon weapons, you might want to re-map secondary fire bind to be anything but RMB, since RMB is also hard-coded to "exit menu."
gdiv
happygek General Tips

• Save often: update your Restore Point by exiting the starship, claiming a Base Computer, interacting with a Save Point/Save Beacon, or the waypoint machines you find at some Points of Interest (POIs).
• Sentinels are like police in NMS: they don't like it when you destroy, mine or harvest rocks or plants from a planet. When they're watching, stop or move away from them to resume harvesting resources. Avoid entering your ship with an active Sentinel Alert Level: sentinel ships are more difficult to evade than planet sentinels. For tips on how to evade sentinels, take a look at this post.

• The Space Anomaly NPCs and terminals are the single biggest source to learn technology or base part blueprints.

• To easily return to a system or planet you like, place and claim a base computer and name it something you will remember.

• Storage upgrades can be applied to exosuit, ships, multi-tools and freighter. To apply a storage upgrade to a different inventory, switch inventory by pressing Q or E (dpad left or right), then apply the storage upgrade. Storage upgrades can be purchased with units, but also obtained from other sources like scrapping ships or mission board rewards.

• Discovering and registering the complete list of fauna on a planet (at once) will reward nanites - 250 per fauna.

Info For more inventory management tips, See this post ».
gdiv
NormalMode Missions

It's strongly recommended to play the entire main storyline, Artemis Path, and the Atlas Path. Playing all the "important" quests (Artemis path, The Atlas Path, The Space Anomaly, the Base Computer Quest, and Expanding the Base quests) will:
• Introduce you to many of the game's mechanics.

• Teach you unique tech and abilities you can't get anywhere else.

• Give you a lot of free tech you'd have to buy at the Space Anomaly otherwise.

Info The active mission will switch between available missions in the Logs. It can be well timed or random. You need to reselect the desired mission in the Log menu to continue.

!Faq-Likholu

river micaBOT Mar 8, 2026, 10:02 AM

#

-# pointdown to view info below, enable embeds externallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

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> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

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.

!Faq-Likholu

river micaBOT Mar 9, 2026, 5:55 PM

#

-# pointdown to view info below, enable embeds externallink

🚫 **What is Likholu**?

Likholu is a hidden star system within the radius of ~3000 light-years around the core of Euclid. Although it is not available through normal means, players have been able to visit these systems through bugs/glitches, mods, save editing, or other tools (see #nms-modding). Being that it's the very first hidden star system, referred to as a "phantom star," in the starting galaxy (Euclid), it logically became a target once these hidden systems were first discovered in 2016. This likely also resulted in becoming a known system for the many issues it has accumulated over the years.

⚠️ Be aware, we advise you, DO NOT attempt to visit this system. It's caused so many problems reported by the community, that it is strongly discouraged to pay a visit by any means. Some of the reported issues include becoming trapped, having freighter bases wiped when summoned there, and complex save-file corruption. If you insist on visiting it, do so at your own risk. ❗ If you're on PC, PS4 or have access to Game Pass Ultimate, you can and should back up your save file(s) before that -- run !Faq-SaveFiles in #bot-spam or get more details in #nms-questions. You have been warned. There are reasons why Hello Games prevents players from finding themselves in this system by accident.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Artemis Path Missions**

The main storyline The Artemis Path is composed of these missions:

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

<: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> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

**Why can't I land on this derelict? Help **
There are two different derelict freighter events in the game.

gdiv Not Boardable, if the derelict...
• is broken into large pieces, like the lower freighter model in this image
• has no landing pads by the bridge
• has shootable cargo pods nearby (it may not)

If there are nearby cargo pods, you may shoot them for materials, which it will trigger pirates.

gdiv Boardable, if the derelict...
• is not broken into major pieces
• has four landing pads located by the bridge
• looks like the top freighter model in this image (colors vary)

You may find it just by pulsing on rare occasions. But if you activate an Emergency Signal Scanner (ESS) in your inventory, you'll ensure one spawns. Once it's detected (see example), exit pulse, land and loot. Be ready with life support recharges, cold protection recharges, and ammo for your weapon of choice.

<: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.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Artemis Path Missions**

The main storyline The Artemis Path is composed of these missions:

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.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- Info run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.
gdiv
📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

⚠️ Use #nms-commands for FAQ commands below & check #nms-questions for the latest details about the update.

Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44) & is subject to change.
gdiv
Info With update 4.44, completion of the mission, A Trace of Metal is no longer required. A Settlement used to be needed -- except on Switch, where you'd have to trigger it by warping 25 times.

-# pointdown to view info below, enable embeds externallink

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> **Recruiting Your Squadron**

• [Acquire a freighter](#nms-questions message) if you don't have one.

• Unlock at least 1 squadron slot in the Fleet Management Terminal on the freighter.

Slots Cost (in Nanites):
1st 800 Nanites
2nd 3,500 Nanites
3rd 7,500 Nanites
4th 10,000 Nanites

Rank Upgrade Cost (in Nanites)
C > B 1,200 nanites
B > A 4,100 nanites
A > S 9,500 nanites

• Go to an inhabited system. If it is an Outlaw system you cannot recruit from the station and must use another location.

• Talk to an NPC pilot and recruit to your squadron. When recruiting, the class a ship spawned in doesn't matter. Instead, make your recruiting choices based off ship appearance (and pilot appearance, if so desired) as well as pilot class.

Info All prices are Normal mode and may vary depending on your mode/custom settings.

❔ **Stuck starting the Echoes content?**

Make sure the steps below are completed.

⚠️ Use #nms-commands for FAQ commands below & check #nms-questions for the latest details about the update.

Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #nms-commands.
Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #nms-commands.
Warp to any system via a starship and wait in space for the quest to start. If you triggered a freighter battle when entering the system, warp to another.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to easily spawn Sentinel Freighter

Note: This only works in non-outlaw systems.

Save+reload first.
Repeatedly shoot the space station till wanted level 4
Then pulse boost away from the station to lure sentinel ships away from it (we do so to avoid the infinite sentinel ship spawn behavior, we can't get to level 5 by just shooting the station alone)
Destroy sentinel ships till wanted level goes up to 5, just wait for sentinel freighter to spawn.

(How to destroy it: fly inside the shields, shoot both shield generators on both sides, then just shoot it pretty much anywhere till it blows up.)

How to find Dissonance

Look for Dissonant systems in the galaxy map. In these systems, you'll often find at least one planet that reads Dissonance Detected in their resource list.

Notes:

All dissonant planets can be used to farm related resources e.g. radiant shards, echo locator
Not all dissonant systems and/or planets can spawn harmonic camps (image ). Consuming a Carrier AI Fragment should lead you to a suitable location that can spawn harmonic camps.

Finding Rare creatures

Ensure that you're looking for the creature in the correct hemisphere and/or day/night, if specified in the Discoveries > Planet > Fauna screen.
The game despawns and respawns creatures as you leave and enter/reenter areas of the planet, like a cave or the area around a building. Reloading would accomplish the same thing.
Throwing Creature Pellets on the ground helps attracting fauna attention, if they're close enough, even if underground or stuck inside terrain.
Underground creatures can often spawn near cave entrances, often big enough to be called open air caves. These large patches of cave terrain can often be found near buildings. See embedded image.
Some caves will be too small to ever spawn creatures, so be sure to explore cave systems that have at least a fair ammount of room in them.
When searching for Underwater rare fauna, diving into deeper parts of the ocean/lake seems to help.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Derelict Freighter Events**

**Why can't I land on this derelict? Help **
There are two different derelict freighter events in the game.

gdiv Not Boardable, if the derelict...
• is broken into large pieces, like the lower freighter model in this image
• has no landing pads by the bridge
• has shootable cargo pods nearby (it may not)

If there are nearby cargo pods, you may shoot them for materials, which it will trigger pirates.

gdiv Boardable, if the derelict...
• is not broken into major pieces
• has four landing pads located by the bridge
• looks like the top freighter model in this image (colors vary)

You may find it just by pulsing on rare occasions. But if you activate an Emergency Signal Scanner (ESS) in your inventory, you'll ensure one spawns. Once it's detected (see example), exit pulse, land and loot. Be ready with life support recharges, cold protection recharges, and ammo for your weapon of choice.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to expand the default base boundary

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.

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

<: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.

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.

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.

No! Messing with your system clock has the potential to break every single thing that relies on a real timer. Settlements, frigate missions, farms, mines, freighter battles and time gates such as the Starbirth Quest. Just don't do it.

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.

<:info:850810445577453658> How to expand the default base boundary

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.

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

<:atlasnmscord:1269532093076078658> Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs

Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.

A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again. Type !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam for a list of missions.

B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won't be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.

C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.

<: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.

<:AtlasNmscord:1269532093076078658> **Artemis Path Missions**

The main storyline The Artemis Path is composed of these missions:

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.

❓ For in-depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-spoilers, or in #nms-questions with spoiler tags -- Info run !SpoilerTag in #bot-spam for help.

📖 Did you know? The Atlas Path and The Purge mission can be completed in tandem.

Locating a Portal

Obtain the race relic item to give to a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
Locate a Monolith, [see this post](#nms-questions message);
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.

Quality of Life: Summoning exocrafts via on foot Quick Menu

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).

c) Install Exocraft Summoning Unit exosuit tech, use on foot quick menu to summon desired exocraft(s). Requires access to purple star systems.

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.

#

-# 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.

<: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.
