[mental socket]

@gusty berry does the Sean mod already have different Sean pics on each of the capes?

and yes, that counts as spoiler

[gusty berry]

they just all use the same overlay by Zachary

[icy citrus]

Lol

[glass flare]

it's funny that people get excited about capes when as a first-person player I never see any of that. give me some cool gloves or watches or something lol

[late tusk]

what cape is that

what did you use to get them

[fast crest]

oh... "do not reuse portals found via storyline to prevent bugs.", why you didnt warned me!

[wind panther]

Upcoming capes. You use a save editor or a mod to get them

[late tusk]

what one did you use to get em

and was this in experimental

because im on experimental andi dont see em

[heady wyvern]

We just said. These capes are not legitimately available in any branch of the game, and are seen here due to modding and/or save tampering.

Well, not legitimately available yet.

[rough depot]

New save reloading screen if anyone cares

[quasi lantern]

oh damn

thats even better

[eternal radish]

OMG that's so pretty 😍

[mental socket]

Yups. Heckin fancy

[late tusk]

yeah im asking what save editor or mod is used for them

[icy citrus]

Switch uses that

[muted moth]

and it's gorgeous

[latent heath]

||if atlas a just a simulation with everything in it are we just coded behavior or sentient? Ie have a life worth? ||

[latent heath]

Agree there

Tbh the stagnant ring loading was getting a bit boring

Really? Gifs is blocked entirely? Lol

[quasi lantern]

||I like to think that we’re all sentient beings but we’re hooked up to the computer in crytosleep (idk spell) and use our dream as a simulation, but make it look too real to us||

[dense phoenix]

||i had a similar idea a while ago
The travelers are other humans and they're all hooked up to a simulation to learn how spacetravel and such woks while the humans are in cryo sleep on a colony ship||

[fast crest]

||then why they dont remember nothing of what happened before waking up on a hazardous planet?||

[dense phoenix]

||Could be glitches from the Atlas
Or a way to test if your knowledge has become instinctual by repetition||

[uncut harness]

When i try and post gifs in the server. My discord just shuts down lol

[late tusk]

so does no one know the save editor or mod to get the new capes?

[muted moth]

anything else intersting in the game files in the new (from an hour ago) experimental??

[late tusk]

:(

three new capes are in the appearance but cant get. what editor works

[drifting arrow]

||Do the star seed and remberance thing actually do anything?||

[muted moth]

yes, and you don't have to use spoiler markers in the spoilers channel

they both give core health _1; the remembrance in addition gives access to lore at certain terminals.

[candid schooner]

@bright grove ||yeah but they only did that so that they would stop. They had no choice||

[bright grove]

I know. It was pretty epic though. I think I'll add something like that into my D&D campaign.

It was one of those "Wow, we both went way too far, lets call a truce" type of things

[fallow herald]

||travelling to the center of the universe is taking forever lol||

[tame grotto]

[fallow herald]

should I reset or refuse?

[latent heath]

oki doki lol

[tame grotto]

Def reset. That'll expose you to a new galaxy to explore. Sorry I just saw this

[hazy beacon]

Must say, despite not usually caring much about the story in this game, the backstory reveal about the Gek genuinely effected me.

[late tusk]

no mans sky but its sad

:(

[late tusk]

i really hope those new capes are for QS

[glossy narwhal]

So is there no way to play the main questline without doing a reset? IE Atlas path = reset, Artemis = Reset?

I mean, there's no way to 'fix' the Atlas etc?

Cause if you reset, the main questlines just start over as well and play out the same, yeah?

[heady wyvern]

The reset doesn't restart the main quests. And it is possible to finish the Artemis line without going through with the reset - when you confront the Atlas at the Final Interface, just say no.

But lorewise, the Atlas is screwed no matter what you do. It's simply going to occur on a timescale that's inconceivably long from your perspective.

[past anvil]

Hi all I'm doing the mission where I need to get the relics for the korvax cartographer and I can't land on the planet where the ruin is. For some reason when I get through atmosphere there seems to be another layer that won't let me through or land on the whole planet. Is this normal?

[glossy narwhal]

So if you don't do the reset then... you just stay in the same galaxy?

IE the reset is simply for hopping to a fresh galaxy? Nothing really else is affected?

[uncut harness]

Iam warping 16 times right now. I dont wanna change galaxy. Is there a way to refuse Atlas?

[thorny rover]

Yes

[uncut harness]

Can u explain how to do that?

[thorny rover]

There is an option at the end to refuse

Like say no lol

You'll see

[uncut harness]

I wanna stay in eclyid galaxy or whatever its name is

[thorny rover]

You will dw

If you refuse

[uncut harness]

Just did warp 7 so 9 more warps

[thorny rover]

Keep it up

That part is my favourite

[uncut harness]

Iam mainly doing to learn the glyph for 1 reason. To find this ship.

[thorny rover]

I mean the part after warping it's very cool

[thorny rover]

Nice ship indeed

I prefer solar, but fighters are cool

[uncut harness]

I allready have a class S solar ship

Iam planning to have 1 ship or every type

[thorny rover]

Nice

[uncut harness]

@thorny rover my class s solar

[thorny rover]

Nice

I have myself a Nice N1 Naboo lookalike solar

[uncut harness]

@thorny rover u got dm

[vivid mulch]

has anyone else seen the new capes?

[vivid mulch]

cords?

[thorny rover]

Idk if I still have them, let me look

[vivid mulch]

okay

[icy citrus]

How about pinging in #nms-legacy-ships if you find them

[late tusk]

:(

capes arent for sale at QS shop...

[icy citrus]

Nope

One is in line for the community missions, after grass

[late tusk]

hurry up grass

[mental socket]

hmm

what else is coming

[late tusk]

How long do the three tiers take anyway

[fallow beacon]

i guess we have new stuff coming

[late tusk]

I hope we can get the capes soon

[dusky hull]

okay so I'm far enough on the artemis path that apollo's having me do the leylines mission, and this random transmission comes thru to the effect of "we will find you when the time is right"

does anyone know who sent that?

[late tusk]

Can goatfungus editor unlock the capes yet?

[limpid palm]

You mean the expedition capes?

[late tusk]

the new capes yeah

[limpid palm]

Those ones are from expeditions which finished already

Idk if you can get them anymore

Like the outlaw one?

[late tusk]

no

[limpid palm]

Oh

[late tusk]

there was three new ones added with the recent stable today

[limpid palm]

Ok

I haven’t been on for the past three days so idk

Is it the community research?

[late tusk]

they may be not sure

its grass rn .-.

[limpid palm]

Ok

Yea many people like grass I guess

There are many things being added in October

[fallow herald]

I'm going to the atlas interface things and it seems like a never ending process, do I need to refuse instead of submitting?

[cunning maple]

it ends

it just takes a while

what type of orb do you have rn

(the recipe you got from submitting)

[fallow herald]

state phaser

[cunning maple]

you have 3 more to go

[fallow herald]

ok thanks

[fallow herald]

should I birth a new star or walk away?

[cunning maple]

birth

[past anvil]

After getting the final item on atlas path... Does the mission just repeat itself?

What does star seed do?

As I have already made one, I went back to atlas and it's sounds like it's asking me to get another one?

[heady wyvern]

That quest will pretty much loop indefinitely. You can safely ignore it.

As for the Star Seed, it just grants +1 to HP. However, as a result of finishing the Atlas Path, you can now see Black Holes on the Galaxy Map at all times.

[drifting arrow]

Whats the process for finding/using a portal? I know all 16 glyphs

[heady wyvern]

!faq-portal @drifting arrow

Wait can Gunter even do anything here?

Well, Cobalt, if you ever see this, run that command in #bot-spam. It'll tell you what to do.

[urban geode]

Are supercharged slots place randomly in the exosuit?

[mighty rampart]

It's the same slots for everyone

[urban geode]

Thanks

[past anvil]

Thanks I was gonna make them again. Saves me the trouble. Thank you.

[patent orbit]

Just finished my first derelict freighter since I came back to the game.(took about 1.5 year break) Forgot how cold it gets. Ran out of ion batteries to keep charging my cold protection. Took me longer to finish as I had to keep running for the heaters....lol

I sold everything I got to a pilot at the space station. He paid me more than the C- class ship he was piloting was worth.....lol

[worldly epoch]

I think this is the most gratifying message I have seen up at the top of my screen

After 3 days of constant monolith grinding I now fully know every language in the entire game, including that of the atlas

so many neat lore bits revealed too, esp. with the logs

[muted moth]

have them all too, forgot to check the logs though. too much inventory work that needs to be done first

[worldly epoch]

log feature is easily one of my favorites

nms has a story that is diluted over so much gameplay that its hard to keep track of the details, so being able to see it all in a neat little logbook has revealed so many interesting details, especially after doing all of the interactables for things around the world

the only thing that irks me is the notable lack of rememberance

its the only story bit that isn't in the logbook

nevermind they forgot some words in the learnable dictionary

ah yes, my favorite english word

pusugi

[muted moth]

I was excited for the logs, just got sidetracked with all the other impacts when 4.0 dropped

oh the remembrance ones aren't in there? hey nag hg about that

!hg

[cloud jolt]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[worldly epoch]

true

reported both

kind of ironic that the last atlas message there about clarity and truth is missing some important information

[quasi lantern]

I hate how those "???" never get revealed even after discovering a lot of possible words

[worldly epoch]

yeah, its bc it secretly adds words in and stuff

[quasi lantern]

yea

[worldly epoch]

theres 8 pages + 5 words on a 9th page

[quasi lantern]

it'd be nice just like, show all undiscovered slots rather than add new slot everytime you find one

[worldly epoch]

yep

[quasi lantern]

'cause when 4.0 first dropped, discovered languages was at like 200/400

me: finds 2 new words

202/600

[quasi lantern]

damn

[late tusk]

i just realized that i should grind out the monoliths

[gusty berry]

vanilla _STRETCH_WALLB from base building auto parts table

they stretch alright

no timber/fiberglass variant in files as of now

[mental socket]

saw a post on reddit

apparently there was a new icon added

I wonder what wonders are

[muted moth]

huh

[mental socket]

there will be one more category for catalogue

quite curious to find out what that will be. Current catalog already contains everything except for rememberance lore

[muted moth]

I don't think it will be lore, that's covered under 'stories'

it will be some new category that's different, just like crafting an dbuilding parts are different

it could have to do with the different sort of space encounters you've seen or something. no idea though

[glass flare]

interesting. wonders sounds slightly exploratory in nature, don't want to get my hopes up though

[thorny rover]

It could be saved glyph coords

[eternal radish]

I saw Sean in these pictures and I got terrified.

[eternal radish]

A new type of stone wall?

[glass flare]

what is that missile launcher looking thing next to it?

in the third pic

[thorny rover]

To the left? It's a bronze gek statue

[gusty berry]

I guess

Could just be for testing

[glass flare]

uh no this thing

[thorny rover]

Ah

I have 0 idea

[glass flare]

ah ok. just silliness

[eternal radish]

I hope we'll get it in the game. I love the sleek look of it ❤️

[mental socket]

We just might. They accidentally slipped the wall in switch version

[eternal radish]

That'd be great!

[late tusk]

i just want those new capes already

[mighty rampart]

story logs from those boundary failures?

afaik there isnt one

or just info on the portals youve used so far

[muted moth]

dang forgot to check the lore logs in my main save

gonna do that now and see what 4.0 brought us

[mental socket]

boundary failures are under Collected Knowledge tab

[mighty rampart]

Oh I didn't spot it, thanks!

[muted moth]

turns out that the monolith and plaque invof for the Vy'keen didn't show up in my lore record. even though I have the related titles. meh.

I should submit a bug report

[restive terrace]

What happens when u complete the main quest?

[inner jewel]

wipe system or diagnostic

[icy citrus]

Wipe

[fallow herald]

for the base computer mission I keep having to go to remote terminals, is that supposed to happen? I've done it like 4 times

[icy citrus]

Yeah, once it rewards the landing pad blueprint, it will repeat daily

[icy citrus]

!hg

[cloud jolt]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[muted moth]

the remote terminals happens 10 times, after that you get a player title, and then you can collect salvaged data every day from the bc

(only 2 at a time, so whatever)

[fringe flax]

cant seem to get past this

[muted moth]

is there an indicator over the heads of any of the npcs when you walk up to them? if so, try talking to that npc, repeat until the mission progresses.

[fringe flax]

not that I saw but will try and see what happens

[muted moth]

if you skipped the tutorial you should not even have this mission, I expect it is a bug.

[odd willow]

quick possibly spoiler question - if i complete the purge do all my bases get wiped out or am i able to go back to the "old" space?

[quasi lantern]

no, everything are kept

[wind urchin]

Nothing gets wiped out. You are able to teleport to all bases you created

[mental socket]

No progress is lost. Your tech will break but that's it.

[odd willow]

cheers.

don't feel so bad about building my little refulling outposts everywhere now

[viral harbor]

Anyone else still having a problem when playing multiplayer? Last night myself and my buddy were kicked from each other's servers randomly. And when we tried to jo back in it said we were still in each other's game. And one time the game crashed my PS4.

[copper otter]

So, how do I reset if I decline the initial reset?

Artimis line

[strong bluff]

Duplicate Space Anomaly quest? Looks like a 🐛 .

[copper otter]

Okay I literally just restarted. I’m new so I ran thru the artimis line too quick. I felt like I missed way to much.

Information overload

[odd willow]

so i just crashed after resetting the simulation.

you think they'd get the actual ending to work properly at least...

[muted moth]

ah dang, I hope the autosave was doing something at least

[gusty berry]

I'll mention this here as well but I have seemingly found a way to display capes in multiplayer

After receiving comments about the cape in a multiplayer session, I have also since seen a video of me in said multiplayer meetup with a cape on my character

note the 2 characters with capes on them in this screenshot

[tame grotto]

How?

[gusty berry]

that's what I'm wondering as well

I currently know the steps to replicate it, but I don't know how it is achieved as far as the game is concerned

[tame grotto]

What were/are the steps?

[gusty berry]

the steps involve Getting Head

the lua script applies a cape directly in the character customisation presets

[tame grotto]

Oh so it requires a mod? Can't just be a one time save edit type deal?

[gusty berry]

that's what I'm tryna investigate

I have a few different guesses to try out before I can say

[gusty berry]

aight so

I found out something

turns out something is hiding all your capes

and it's the cape jetpack

any other jetpack will make your cape show up

[late tusk]

me still waiting for the grass to be gone so we get the new capes

[muted moth]

I'm waiting for the grass to be gone so I can have all of it

[gusty berry]

I'm just using Getting Head

anyway if you save edit your jetpack into any other jetpack your cape will show up in mp

my guess is either HG wanted to only show cape in mp but messed up the hiding toggle

or HG deliberately hides capes with the cape jetpack but forgor the other jetpacks

[muted moth]

well assumed most players would not be using another backpack because who would think of that 😛

[gusty berry]

I guess, but it's weird that they would program in a check for the backpcak

instead of just checking for the capes themselves

[late tusk]

literally i just want the new capes unlocked already

[sonic path]

Probably they reuse the code of some part of the jetpack for the cape, hence why they don’t want to disable it when using normal backpacks.

[gusty berry]

Wouldn't be so sure about that

Capes and backpacks uses 2 separate prefixes and belong in two separate descriptor group categories

The only reason why the cape jetpack appears is that choosing a cape automatically apply the cape jetpack as well

As 2 separate descriptor groups

Maybe they just didn't feel like doing a fuzzy match

Doing descriptor group = "this exact thing" is just one line, after all

[late tusk]

found out how to get the new capes :)

[past anvil]

Can we repeatedly do new beginnings to different galaxies

[glass flare]

new beginnings? you mean a new game? new games always start in Euclid

[strong bluff]

I think that The new beginnings is infinite quest which is just place holder quest in case you don't have any other selected once the story has ended.

[past anvil]

I've completed the story and the mission new begginings at the end is still active. Was wondering if I could do it again to jump galaxies.

[past anvil]

O I see thanks

[candid schooner]

Main story line spoiler ||I reset the simulation. What does this mean for artemis? I just checked the machine I dont think he's in there||

[quasi lantern]

by resetting the simulation, everyone that know you forget who you are

[candid schooner]

Can o talk to them again?

[quasi lantern]

yeah but dialog is different

as if they met you first time

[candid schooner]

Story spoiler ||is artemis still dead||

[quasi lantern]

that part I don't know ||cuz I always pick to let artemis die peacefully instead of reviving her||

[gaunt beacon]

Got a switch today and bought nms, these are the first pictures I took and my first journey milestone on switch! :))

[heady wyvern]

Artemis was always dead; what you've been seeing this whole time was an echo of their consciousness.

The choice you were given is as follows: allow Artemis to remain peacefully dead, or upload them to a simulation terminal within the Anomaly, wherein they can explore a single simulated solar system to their heart's content.

I don't strictly see option 2 as "reviving" Artemis, but you do you.

[muted moth]

that echo sure seems to want to exist though.... and to break free of their prison.

[candid schooner]

When I ||reset the sim|| where do I ||revert to||? Are they alive or are they already dead? Is artemis still ||in the korvax machine||? What about ||null and appolo||? Do I ever talk to them again

[muted moth]

if you reset the simulation (this is the spoilers channel, you don't have to spoiler mark here), you end up in a new galaxy.

the fate of artemis, null, apollo is unknown, or you can just assume they still exist somewhere.

[eternal radish]

Artemis exists on my freighter. That's a fact.

[cunning maple]

buggy bugger

[eternal radish]

Best bug ever. I hope they won't patch it anytime soon 😅

[cunning maple]

i mean i'm pretty sure you can get it with save editing too

[eternal radish]

True. Gleam has done it with his freighter crew. All are characters of the Anomaly now. The Artemis, Apollo and -null- models only don't walk around though. They just stand somewhere. I haven't seen Apollo or -null- appear on my freighter yet. I've been looking for them.

[cunning maple]

that's because those models don't have walking animation

[eternal radish]

Strange, because the the characters on the Anomaly just keep standing where they are but they do have walking animation programmed in them.

Artemis isn't dead, people.

[cunning maple]

you broke into the simulation!

[eternal radish]

Or Artemis somehow broke out of Nada's simulation and into back this universe, in my freighter. Best day of my life 🙌

[cunning maple]

the goodie epic very awesome ending\

[wide lodge]

The Abyss is responsible for the Biological Horrors right?

[eternal radish]

I think so?

[eternal radish]

How the NMS story should have ended.

[cunning maple]

proof that nms is not procedural generated:uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh /j

[eternal radish]

It is, except for the Anomaly and storyline NPC's.

[cunning maple]

ong not all of it is procedural generated!!!!!! /j

raid the hello games stuido /j

[eternal radish]

At the start I seriously believed that the storyline missions were procedurally generated so the Artemis quest was unique to me and that other people had different storyline missions unique to them lol

[cunning maple]

i mean that would be cool

[eternal radish]

I wonder how that would work out and if.

[cunning maple]

i'm not quite sure

swap out the characters?

[candid schooner]

Is the atlas saved? Dint it say that it gas been reset before to no avail

[eternal radish]

After reading many of the datalogs from Sentinel pillars I've come to the conclusion that Sentinels are just a bunch of robotic nihilistic hardcore environmentalists.

Very nihilistic.

[muted moth]

the atlas exists after the reset. you can still encounter atlas stations. the rules of the new galaxy are much like those of the old one (game consistency kind of requires that eh).

and you'll still see the 16 // 16 message everywhere

[muted moth]

if they were environmentalists, they wuld stop people from mining nonrenewable resource deposits and let them mine plants which respawn 😛

[eternal radish]

Sentinels: Throw a fit when we mine a single rock.

Also Sentinels: throw granades which blow holes in the ground and potentially destroying flora and fauna.

Sentinels: Protect all flora and fauna.

Also Sentinels: Destroy all life in another universe.

I mean, what side are they on? 🤣🤣🤣

[spice bramble]

Learned that the hard way

[eternal radish]

We all did

[spice bramble]

Lmao

[wide lodge]

Well...we actually kinda know the answer to that

[candid schooner]

Is it fixed tho? Will it continue dying

[muted moth]

well I think it's not fixable tbh

[sonic path]

It is fixable, but it won’t be fixed. That would require those outside the simulation to return to the Atlas and also decide it is worth restoring it, neither of which is likely.

The Atlas lacks any methods of self repair, and as far as we can tell, the people outside the simulation left the planet it is on a long time ago.

[muted moth]

the method of self repair was (probably) telamon and we saw how well that went

[sonic path]

I mean repairing the physical systems, not the code base.

[muted moth]

that is afaik what is self destructing, the code itself.

[sonic path]

As far as I understand, it’s the physical systems failing that are leading to the code becoming corrupted.

[muted moth]

hm don't remember, guess I'll have to go back through the lore

[mental socket]

I wonder if HG is working on some new story content that includes NPCs physically being in places and they've just accidentally slipped their models into the mix

been seeing some guys from the Anomaly aboard my freighter as well

[tepid saddle]

Yeah, I also saw one who looked like the chef

[mellow crag]

this is especially fun when they do it in your settlement where you cant fix it bc settlements disble your terrain manipulator lmao

[glass flare]

how? PC save hax?

[uncut harness]

I'm warping to get Glyphs. Do I use these to warp to the center or do I still manually have to hyperdrive the whole way?

[icy citrus]

You don't have to reach the center at all, just warp

[uncut harness]

So get the Glyphs and use the Portal?

[icy citrus]

Just follow along with the quest

[quasi lantern]

Also Also Sentinels: doesn't bat a eye when we made a huge hole with terrain manipulator

[eternal radish]

They blow holes in the ground themselves

[uncut harness]

Nice. I'm the perpetrator of the single largest mass murder in history.

Why all my shit broke???

[muted moth]

chose reset?

[uncut harness]

Yeah

[muted moth]

when you travel that wa (or jumping thruogh galaxy core) to get to a new galaxy, all your text in suit, equipped ship/multitool will break

[uncut harness]

......

[muted moth]

you can package much of it up before the jump to protect it

also switch to a ship and an mt that aren't the best ones

for now repair vital stuff, if you have repair kits for the more complicated items, use those too

[drifting arrow]

Is there actually a real difference between the galaxies?

[muted moth]

the distribution of some biome types in yellow star systems is different

[marsh frost]

Is the Anomaly we play as actually human? Is there any mention of humans at all?

[craggy plover]

@marsh frost Hi! I would just like to mention that your question may be better answered in #nms-spoilers. I will say though, that this game has TONS of hidden and small snippets of lore that can be put together to give really good story for the game.

[marsh frost]

I-I am in NMS Spoilers.

;-;

[craggy plover]

Oh..

Wow my bad lol. I was in pics and just clicked the convo button at the bottom and it put me here 😆

Ok then! My answer for you @marsh frost would be that, I believe, that the anomaly we play as is more of the Atlas simulating in its last effort for help, the image of its creator, which was presumably human.

Sorry for my confusion btw 😅

[marsh frost]

:p no worries

[marsh frost]

So I just got to the bit where ||I had to decide Artemis' fate. And I never felt so... Well, I didn't cry, but I felt so goddamn upset. I was so hyped to meet her and have her and Apollo reunite. Only for Nada to then say "this can't be done." And I just couldn't put her in a simulation. Apollo's words on the matter did not help.||

[muted moth]

there's no good choices at that point are there. only less awful ones maybe

[dense phoenix]

||What would be nice is if you could install Artemis as AI so she could explore with you||

[eternal radish]

Artemis as the exosuit voice.

[muted moth]

We would learn to hate Artemis fast if that happened.

[eternal radish]

You hate Telamon?

[muted moth]

well let me put it this way: who doesn't now feel that the suit voice gets on their last nerve a lot of the time??

"No Free Slots In Suit Inventory" ok ok, heard you! or worse yet "Extreme Hazard Planet" yeah heard you the first two times 😛

[eternal radish]

Tbh I'm curious but I also think it's a bad idea. Telamon doesn't particularly enjoy being the exosuit voice. Not being able to communicate with or see the Traveller.

[eternal radish]

Oh yeah that gets annoying

[muted moth]

see? 😄

[eternal radish]

Seeing that Telamon does not really enjoy being the exosuit voice I think it's worse for Artemis than to be in Nada's simulation

I actually wonder what Telamon looked like when they still had a physical form.

[shy stump]

if i abandon mission from a gek can i get new ones immediately cuz mine is glitched i cant progress in my artemis path thing

i scanned all the minerals and it didnt register

now i only need 2 more from this planet but there isnt anythin anymore

[outer bobcat]

I believe so, I haven't done them in a while though

[copper otter]

So, should I complete artimis line first or atlas line first?

[muted moth]

we recommend that when you get to 'the purge' in the artemis path, you start doing the atlas point as you are asked to go notify travellers in the purge of what is happening

that way the warps you do in the atlas path count for the other mission too

[copper otter]

So, up to purge then atlas then finish purge?

[muted moth]

get enough into purge that you are told to go warn other travellers

then go to atlas path, yeah

[drifting arrow]

Any tips for grinding Tainted Metal?

[muted moth]

find a known "easy" derelict, either with a lot of loot and then just loot everything, or speed run it and only hit the crew record and captain's log (first two terminals), you'll need to get the security creds for that

[earnest crater]

Which material am I missing?

[real sapphire]

@sturdy quail

1. Look around space station/outposts for travelers, will cost some nanites
2. Artemis storyline, "The Purge"

[muted moth]

cursed dust, an item that was available during expedition 4 ("emergence")

apparently one can now get it as a reward for bounty missions at outlaw stations

[earnest crater]

Thanks. I did complete expedition 4 so no idea why it's not there. I'll have to look for a mission to get some.

[muted moth]

the catalogue is per save I think

[earnest crater]

Thanks. Have you seen anyone post screenshots of the new catalogue when completely full. (except foods) I have a couple more gaps I want to fill.

[heady wyvern]

Some of those slots are Expedition-exclusive items. You will probably never see them again.

[earnest crater]

Ok. Maybe if I launch my old expedition saves I can figure it out.

[muted moth]

there's pages at https://www.nomansskyresources.com/raw-materials where you should be able to see the missing things, @earnest crater

[copper otter]

Artimis to up to purge but do I “reset” or no before doing atlas path in conjunction?

First run through…

[strong bluff]

I'd do Atlas path before resetting, but you can do it after it too.

[mental socket]

It's very interesting to see all the connections

[mental socket]

hmm... does this talk about Null?

The HECK!? Null hecking consumed the soul?!?!

[uncut harness]

You know it’s serious when you have a cosmetic megafauna for a frigate.

[eternal radish]

Who will wear US????? 😧

[thorny rover]

Well these are the logs of Telamon so yeah

[mental socket]

Instead of us wearing Telamon, they will wear us

:c

[eternal radish]

But Telamon is in our suit. Is karma coming for us Travellers? 😐

[uncut harness]

Lol something funny about joining this server is the bot is named Gunter from adventure time, that's what I named my living ship, Gunther

[thorny rover]

Its on
He wants in

[polar plaza]

So um...

The entire universe of nms is being simulated in less than 1 minute?

The 16 never changes

I've seen simulated worlds in games and all, but this one is the most metal

[thorny rover]

Well you see, in a simulation, it's space-time continuing is very different to ours

[polar plaza]

Yeah

[thorny rover]

So it can be an infinite time in a minute

[polar plaza]

Exactly

And it's metal af

[thorny rover]

Yeah it is cool

[pastel magnet]

Not only that, but considering the lore of NMS doesn't quite match up with the lore of Waking Titan, the computer housing the simulation may be inside another simulation itself. There's no telling how many layers there might be between the NMS universe and the "real world."

[polar plaza]

how can i see the lore of the waking titan?

[muted moth]

woah Sargon, long time no chat

https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan @polar plaza

[pastel magnet]

Game Detectives has it all here. https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan

[muted moth]

heh 😄

[pastel magnet]

Beat me to it by less than a second. 😛

[polar plaza]

no i wanna experience it ingame

[muted moth]

ah unfortunately that is no longer possible

[pastel magnet]

Waking Titan was an ARG. It was never in-game. And it's been over for years now.

It basically served as the marketing campaign for Atlas Rises, the third update.

[muted moth]

now marketing can be done with a single emoji!

[eternal radish]

I kinda wonder if it's canon or just a fun marketing stunt 🤔

[glass flare]

well technically there was one bit in-game in the first season of WT, when it was found that a communication message was left on a world and everyone scrambled to find it. wish they had done more of that

[sonic path]

For all we know they did, and we just haven’t found the others.

[glass flare]

It's possible. I was part of the GameDetectives group and one of the people from Alice & Smith told us a few things had been missed

[sonic path]

The answer is probably a bit of both.

[muted moth]

I guess some older players do treat it as canon, I don't know if that's generally accepted wisdom or not

[glass flare]

Sean more or less said it was canon, in terms of it being the "origin story"

[muted moth]

I was trying to find some official pronouncement but came up short

[dense phoenix]

What even was the story?
I missed the whole arg

[muted moth]

oh, lemme find the link, there's a site that has a lot of the old assets and messages

https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan here you go

[eternal radish]

The ARG happened long before I played the game.

[mental socket]

wait so... was Null actually the first traveller?

finally finished the boundary failure logs

The title of this paragraph makes it seem so

and the earlier descriptions of the characters shape, head etc. as well as how it aligns with Nulls own words

[uncut harness]

Hey, what happens when i reset the simulation?

[strong bluff]

In game you go into new Galaxy. In story, I think everything dies and gets reborn or something. In case of the simulation, it just gets restarted. But I think that only the people at The Anomaly and you survive the restart.

[muted moth]

I'm inclined to think everything survives the restart

if you go back to previous space stations in the old galaxy the same npcs will be there

[glass flare]

in terms of the story I don't think that's true. Atlas's goal is to rid itself of the errors/corruption being introduced into the simulation, so it needs to flush the memory and start over. but yeah in terms of game mechanics, obviously Euclid doesn't go anywhere

it's also possible that Atlas has millions of simulations running in parallel, one for each permutation of NPC and player action. so you resetting one simulation doesn't really matter at all. in five million other simulation instances you chose not to

[muted moth]

well given that all the other travellers are instances of you (as I read it anyhow), from other 'dimensions' or parts of the multiverse, where walls have gotten thin between them etc, all these other choices are being made by your other selves all the time

[uncut harness]

So i dont lose any stuff?

[muted moth]

you don't lose items. but all of your tech except I think the base hazard prot and life support modules, is broken

ship, suit and mt

you could... package up most of it and leave just enough installed to survive and jump through

[uncut harness]

Hey, i declined it last time, how do i get back to the atlaS?

[uncut harness]

Its a living ship, idk if that shit can break nor if i can repair it

[muted moth]

if you declined on that save, that's it

you now have to either hitch a idde, find a player base in the galaxy of your choice, or jump through the core to do it

living ships tech also breaks

I would presume that repair kits work on those too but I don't know for certain

[copper otter]

So can I restart after doing the atlas quest line?

Out of curiosity what do most people do at the end of the quest(s) lines?

[thorny rover]

Build houses/or giant complexes that would make OHSA faint

There is no in-between

Oh I also managed my settlement

Get ships to display

Do expeditions when they are around

Stay in one planet for 5 days to do a complete analysis on it

Okay maybe not the whole planet

A quarter really

[muted moth]

I am slowly doing the grind to max out my freighter inventory, now that it can have apparently 60 tech and 120 cargo slots. I plan to fully explore one region with the freighter, using the scanner room, stopping at any planets or systems that look interesting. I have all the ships that need 60/120 inventory now, so that's a lot of frigate expeditions. I need to visit 20 sentinel pillars for the lore, I'll do that while exploring around. I'll take a lot of pictures. I'll finish some bases and build more. That's for the moment

[umbral tree]

Holy shit I just realised I had accidentally stumbled upon Gek's Last Spawn ship once

And I didn't realised this

Until now

[vivid mulch]

I’m going to start a perma save, I can’t bother doing story so save editing glyphs in but is there anything else that I need to think about?

[copper otter]

If I reset do I keep all ships and freighters also?

1st play through sorry for the beginner questions

[muted moth]

yes, but a reset means the tech in your equipped multitool and ship will break completely, as well as almost all tech in your sit, I recommend packaging up what you can to protect it

[mental socket]

Heck. Never though of that

Really convenient

[drifting spoke]

Is there any down sides to accepting the atlas path?

[drifting spoke]

What does it mean by birth a new star?

[muted moth]

not much in the end, might as well take that choice

but you don't get to see a new star with your name on it or anything

[uncut harness]

Anyone know if there's gonna be an eventual second part to the pirate update?

It really feels like they set the foundation for a whole nother path to play

[uncut harness]

Where in the artemis path does an npc or monument or terminal or something keep saying "glass" a whole bunch of times?

It's somewhere before you find out that ||artemis is dead||

Im thinking one of the comms from artemis

Ping me if you find it

I think ||Laylaps|| also says it

He does

[mossy maple]

Bro, some people are getting mad at me, I was annoyed that Artemis was dead and my journey was for nothing so I uploaded Artemis out spite for being dead

[eternal radish]

This part of the story made me sad.
People getting mad at you is kinda over the top, however.

[dense phoenix]

Meanwhile i sped through the story and didn't know what was going on and uploaded her because I thought I had to

[muted moth]

there are no good decisions here. people getting mad at someone for their choice? that's a bad decision.

extra bad, with no reason for it

[eternal radish]

This!

[latent heath]

artemis forgive me time for u to rest again loads shotgun pellets

it is done

@uncut harness soontm done with story

[uncut harness]

Awesome!

[naive seal]

quick questions, if I smuggle something and I sell it instead of delivering it, what happens?

[heady wyvern]

The quest becomes impossible to complete and must be abandoned

Or maybe it can still be completed if you acquire an item of the same type

[naive seal]

Thank you, so no real punishment? except for rank loss. I thought someone would gang up on me or something

[sullen hornet]

There's very little punishment in nms

[uncut harness]

I always liked that

[uncut harness]

I uploaded Artemis because I felt like maybe she'd find peace, especially under the watch of nada and polo

[muted moth]

so there is the eternity of Artemis being trapped there with no other contact. But an eternity is a long time, perhaps some solution might be found later on

[harsh wadi]

so after i purge the atlas is no longer there?

i can't access it again?

[muted moth]

you can follow the atlas path by asking polo for coordinates to an atlas station, if you have not done that already, done the 10 warps and gotten the star seed blueprint

[strong bluff]

That's not true. She actually calls you when she is in the simulation. So she can contact people outside the simulation.

[muted moth]

she can contact you, but there's no free contact with anyone else (and you don't afaik hear from her again, just once I think.)

[strong bluff]

She contacts you more times. Telling you about her exploration and adventures she has in the simulation. You can choose to tell her the truth or not. Later she finds the truth anyway on her own, but she isn't angry. That's her last conversation. The conversations happen as you jump towards the Galactic core.

Also you can try contact the people in simulation yourself while at The Anomaly when you try to upload the message there... But nobody responds.

[muted moth]

that's the one iI am thinking of, whether to tell her the truth (I think I usually do, it's always very sad)

[strong bluff]

I forgot what I chose.

[uncut harness]

@delicate mango #nms-spoilers message

[tender barn]

Lore/story question (I’ve done Artemis path like 3-4 times and this is something I’ve always wondered about; not been to the center yet so I’ve still got that discovery left to go)

Why does the game refer to Artemis as ||the first traveler? I felt like it implied null was the first, and tried to outwit mortality and was shunned by Atlas, even might’ve been implicated in Artemis’ fate but far less certain about that part|| so yeah, just curious did I miss something (other than the mission titles) indicating ||Artemis was “first”||? I mean how would we even know “first” ||in a multiverse situation||?

[eternal radish]

Artemis wasn't the first Traveller, -null- was. I know it might seem confusing 😅

Also, spoiler tags aren't needed here 😉

[copper otter]

To reset if I chose not to in the purge quest. I just need to finish the atlas quest right?

Or am I missing something?

Or center of galaxy

[zinc bluff]

You don't have to finish anything if you don't want to.

[copper otter]

I can still jump to a new galaxy ?

I guess glyphs or cores?

[zinc bluff]

Yeah. You want your glyphs of course. Then nothing stops u from corejumping, getting rides, portalling... whatever. Story missions are basically just a convoluted tutorial.

[muted moth]

glyphs don't let you move between galaxies, only within the same one.

you could go to eissentam right now by going to the space anomaly and looking at featured bases; one of them is there

plenty of other ways to get to other galaxies than a reset

[drifting spoke]

Is there consequences to ending artemis or uploading him?

[icy citrus]

Just emotional ones

[drifting spoke]

I think imma end him i dont want hom to find out hes in a simulation

[muted moth]

gets me every time, though for me' ending is worse (did that once after many times of the other choice, never again)

there are no good choices. choose one 😄

[late tusk]

am i heartless if i could care less about artemis and just want to go about doing my own thing and only rush the story just to get the popup gone? lol

[muted moth]

probably but as long as you are enjoying the game that's ok 😄

[late tusk]

i just wish we could hide main missions

give us an option to disable mission popups

[patent orbit]

Finally finished the Atlas storyline(Purge) Reset. Remembered to use a junk ship......And the first thing I did was summon my good ship, and hopped in and out to save....forgetting that I didn't switch to a junk MT and didn't remove my tech from my Exosuit.......whoops. Now I get to fix it all.....lol

[muted moth]

ouchie

time to get those repair kits in action...

[patent orbit]

as if i didnt feel like an idiot before....i forgot i had repair kits.....lol I mean, i had a stockpile of probably 95% of the stuff needed, was only missing some of the higher end stuff.

[glass flare]

well to be fair to you, the game spends very little time trying to create an emotional connection between you and Artemis or fleshing out her personality. instead they just put you in the situation quickly of "oh no you have to save her!" which for many is enough, but I'm not surprised that some people don't get invested in her story

[late tusk]

if i got her outfit after the quest line id be more inclined lmao

as of now its just "let me get this pop up off the screen"

[sharp zinc]

oh cool i beat the game, seems like really short

[slow hatch]

Finished the storyline. To "beat" the game you'd have to explore and catalogue every planet in every system in every galaxy.

[sharp zinc]

well i have alot of freetime, i think exploring 18 quintillion planets should only take a week

[mental socket]

Depends on what you consider "beating the game" I guess

[muted moth]

if you finished the main storyline, congrats! you have comepleted the (admittedly long) in-game tutorial. now real gameplay begins. enjoy!

[eternal radish]

Enjoy for as long as the 16 minutes last! (forever).

[muted moth]

expand your frigate fleet, get them all to S with no more rank-ups (55 expeditions each); discover S class pistol, alient, experimental, royal multitools and kit them all out (and then publish the info at the NMS Coord Exchange); find the perfectr system with the planets that have colors you love, and the ideal flora and fauna combo; explore an entire region; unlock all those companion slots; build a gold mine for the community, and find a spawn of curious deposits worth a community base and build that too; cook every recipe there is; learn the stories of each race from their monoliths; collect all base parts (qs, derelict, scrap dealer, exotic world glitches too).... or just go kill sentinels because it's fun. anyways, choose your own adventure now!

[unkempt crown]

What should i pick as artemis's fate?

[mossy olive]

I chose to let him die

In theory he has lived countless lives

It's time for him to rest

[muted moth]

I've done both and both suck. choose whichever thing you think will personally suck less

no good choices here

[unkempt crown]

i mean if he learns that he is no longer alive i think thatd be devastating :L i think it might be better to let him die than to learn he isnt real

[mossy olive]

you literally learn the same thing, though

i'm not wrong am i?

all Travellers are destined to end up like Artemis

[muted moth]

how real is real anyways

[mossy olive]

Or already did...

[left shoal]

thought artemis was a she

[brisk barn]

Technically, no one in No Man's Sky has a specified gender, but if we're going by the mythological figures they're named after, then yes, Artemis is a she

The Spanish translation (although badly done sometimes) refers to Artemis as a "she" sometimes

But the rest feels translated by Google Translate

[muted moth]

in English the references to gender of NPCs are all steadfastly "they", where there are pronouns used at all

[wintry osprey]

So I have about 25 bases in Euclid. If I jump to Galaxy 2, can I return to Euclid? Can I return to each galaxy I visit?

Also what's the storyline about? Lol
I'm just as confused now as I was on day 1

[brisk barn]

Yeah

[sonic path]

Given there is no sexual dimorphism at all in any of the observable races (or if there is, we only see one sex of them in game), probably most races in the game reproduce asexually.

[brisk barn]

Korvax doesn't even have a sex

[sonic path]

Yeah, we know that.

And the Gek could feasibly reproduce asexually given their use of spawning pools.

[brisk barn]

Vy'keen probably reproduce through sheer willpower

They just will their way into existence

[sonic path]

The Vy’keen could go either way, but they do seem to be the most human-like aside from Travellers, so if any race was gonna reproduce sexually, it’d probably be them.

[brisk barn]

Or maybe none of the species reproduce at all and are just procedurally generated by the Atlas

[sonic path]

That’s the most likely case.

The Atlas seems to produce new universes already at an advanced level of technology (given that going to a new one doesn’t just end the Atlas’ 16 minutes), so it’s entirely plausible the Atlas starts the simulation with some number of each species already active.

[brisk barn]

If that's the case, why didn't my Vy'keen settlement's population change at all until an expedition where two citizens got lost?

[sonic path]

As I said, that’s if any were going to reproduce sexually at all, which seems like it’d be a huge anomaly. And not in the usual sense.

[brisk barn]

I think Vy'keen just spawn into existence

[sonic path]

The only other feasible explanation I could think of is if one gender of the Vy’keen explore the stars while the other remains in their home system, so all Vy’keen have to originate there.

Which would make very little sense, given that’d also make them the only species with a surviving home world.

[brisk barn]

I wonder if we'll be able to explore whatever's left of Korvax Prime

Also, thing: I recently got a dispute in my citizen between two Vy'keens who were exlovers

That might mean something

[thorny rover]

Yes

[thorny rover]

We are in a simulation that is dying in 16 minutes
That's the rough thing

Of course, it's more complex

[sonic path]

That could be cool as an expedition.

[wintry osprey]

Do I need to have a base in it? Or it's unnecessary?

[thorny rover]

Base, space station, settlement, whichever of those you want

But yeah you need them

[sonic path]

If you made it to another galaxy without ever landing on a space station, building a base, visiting another player’s base or visiting a settlement in the previous galaxy, that’s honestly impressive.

[wintry osprey]

So there's nothing lost at all? I saw a video from 2020 that said yes, you lose stuff and you have to finish the game to get them back or so.. or maybe I misinterpreted it.

Also, what are the endings about? 😬

[sonic path]

Your technology breaks, but that’s it.

[sonic path]

That’s a very broad question.

[wintry osprey]

Well, nvm I guess.

Thanks for all the info! c:

[viscid sandal]

Can someone explain how Apollo was talking to us when he’s been dead?

[muted moth]

same way Artemis was

time is kinda screwed up across dimensions

entities exist as bits in a simulation

communication with one of them is the least of your glitch worries...

[eternal radish]

Do you know the Orville? A series very similar to Star Trek? In the Orville there is this alien species which almost exclusively exists out of males. Males also reproduce together. Females are very rare and if they are born they mostly undergo a sex change to fit in with society.

Maybe there is something similar going on with the Vy'Keen. Maybe their species only has males 🤷‍♀️

[eternal radish]

From my understanding Artemis was in some sort of limbo state. The game called it a "psuedo-death".

[muted moth]

well she the entity has a grave after all

otoh ... so do we, and yet we come back after death

[eternal radish]

Maybe she got into a state in between life and death? Artemis was at a certain location and their equipment was damaged, as if they were still alive. Maybe it was some sort of afterlife and the NMS version of purgatory.

You probably know how we were stuck in a loop in the Leviathan expedition. When we died, the loop would be reset. Maybe Artemis got stuck in such a loop as well.

[muted moth]

what does it mean to be living or dead for bits in a simulation anyways?

[eternal radish]

Maybe we don't die. We just respawn or change form. An iteration reset occurs or you 'reincarnate' into a new iteration.

[muted moth]

...except for perma 😄

[eternal radish]

Then you can make a new perma save and become a new iteration.

You are the same player after all

Same consciousness.

[muted moth]

depends on your headcanon

my saves are all different characters, even if they have a similar appearance

different ways to make money, settled down in different locations, different base building styles even

[eternal radish]

I love how certain things in the lore are very open to your own interpretation.

[high remnant]

What do I do bow

Now

[heady wyvern]

Enjoy the universe.

[dark hill]

2 counterpoints:

1. exocraft base technician said they had a partner and child (dont remember the exact words used)
2. there's very clearly multiple """sub-species""" of vy'keen

i cant send pictures, but from what i've seen there's the more humanoid-faced ones, the large fang/tusk ones, and the "blob-y" ones whose mouth is just a line

it is very possible that at least 2 of these are sex-specific, with no reason for there not to be more than 2 sexes. alternatively, they might change facial structure as they age, or perhaps it IS a race thing, where each one draws from a different evolutionary line that converged into the current vy'keen civilization

the in-game lore tells us that their families are similar to modern humans

there's differences in the biology of the gek as well, but given we know they appear as broods in spawning pools, their reproduction is pretty impossible to speculate on, as it could vary from some sort of sexual activity that leads to the laying of large amounts of eggs, or even a matriarchal situation going on, where one entity gives birth to tons at once

id personally go with the second route as it being more likely, since the term of "first spawn" implies that there's an event every god knows how many years when the gek spawn all at once

would also explain the appearence difference, as they could be from different generations

/end speculation

[eternal radish]

I don't remember this. Only that they had family who all got murdered.

I wonder if Travellers could have kids if they would be able to physically meet 🤔

[dark hill]

this def was the case! i remember very clearly noticing it and making a mental note of it, hope someone can find the exact dialogue log

[dark hill]

i doubt it, travellers dont fully "exist" in this world

[sterile beacon]

damn the music while warping through the core is amazing

[muted moth]

isn't it though, I could listen to it over and over (and I have, heh)

[eternal radish]

It’s so emotional 🥺

[sand karma]

I was waiting for the new Expedition to drop on Switch to maybe grab that version. That I realized 3 of the rewards are capes. Which the Switch version doesn't have. 💀

Now that I think about it, if that was a last minute change, that might be part of why we don't have that new Expedition yet. 😛

[wet copper]

I love that after so many years, No Man's Sky has become its own verb in the gaming industry to describe a product that rises from the ashes of its poor launch to mass acclaim. When talking about a gaming launch that's not going well, it is speculatively put "Maybe they'll pull a 'No Man's Sky'"

[mental socket]

interesting icons under gamemode folder

cloud save 👀

[elfin crown]

any info for the expedition?

[barren orchid]

Expedition?

[muted moth]

no, we don't know that we'll get another one this year. they might just choose to rerun 5-8 instead. I imagine we'll find out later this month

[lapis holly]

still hoping for closer to xmas. :)

[pale aurora]

Ok so, i am in front of atlas. At the middle of the galaxy. Its asking me for a reset. Is that the moment i have to empty my stuff?

[willow stirrup]

If you're on The Purge, yes; but you can not refuse to do so, it's a one-shot deal

[pale aurora]

Welp. So i guess i am stuck with this? Will have to repair shit

[prime inlet]

why?

just store non-crit tech/mods

crit tech cannot be damaged

[pale aurora]

Oh wait. I anwsered no and he teleported me away

[prime inlet]

tyndall did say that

[willow stirrup]

That means you refused

[prime inlet]

reload restore point if you still can/actually want to "reset"

[pale aurora]

I mean, i was already talking to the atlas. So i wouldnt have been able to put my stuff at safe

[prime inlet]

o i see

well

[pale aurora]

I saved before tho so i am good

[prime inlet]

iirc, you still have time between that, and picking which orb you want to choose.

you accept, then still got to walk all the way to where the orbs are, iirc

[willow stirrup]

Yeah, that's probably true

[pale aurora]

Anyway. What do i have to store?

It will take ages jesus

[prime inlet]

everything you can that you don't want to get damaged

personally

i'd just ensure my most needed mods are safe

like my x-class hazard prot, or my shields, or my movement

[pale aurora]

The game doesent help either since you have to store it first. And then put it where you want them to be.

[prime inlet]

that's true, but at least it lets you organize right on that step

multitool stuff, i'd just do it the old fashion way, and switch to a MT i don't care about

and for ship, idk if it's possible to swap docked ship in atlas stations

[pale aurora]

I dont have other multitools tho

[prime inlet]

store the most important stuff then

[pale aurora]

Still dont get what can be damages and what not

[prime inlet]

and just buy repair kits from contraband agents later

anything that's not a core tech will get damaged.

simple as that

core techs - the ones that you can't uninstall

can't uninstall life support, hyperdrive - core techs

[pale aurora]

Aaaaaaa i hate this. I placed the best mods in the overcharged slots and now i will have to check whats better again

[prime inlet]

honestly, i wouldn't really care too much about all the damage, i would just get the stuff to fix it later in the safety of my freighter or something

[pale aurora]

What about star seed? Can it be damaged?

[willow stirrup]

yes, it can

And it will require a heart of the sun (or repair kit) to fix it

[pale aurora]

Also i dont remember if i loose all my bases after the reset or something

[willow stirrup]

You do not lose anything

You used to, but that was many years ago

[pale aurora]

Does the colour of the galaxy actually mean something?

Oh yeah. Green is essientam.

Eissentam*

[willow stirrup]

Green is Eissentam only if you're not already past Eissentam

And yes, the colors signify the galaxy you travel to

[pale aurora]

Kinda sad how our friends now dont care a bit cause they dont remember a thing lol

And we dont care either that much after a bit cause we know we are in an ending simulation, so nothing really matters

[muted moth]

or else everything matters

[tall solar]

After you find those 3 "glyph sets" and choose whether or not to bury Artemis, if you switch to a different quest will all 16 glyphs be avail to use?

[pale aurora]

Mh? Why should it?

[muted moth]

you have to either complete 'The Purge" or talk to 16 travellers and get directions to graves from them to get glyphs, that's the only way.

[tall solar]

Is the purge the part of the quest where you decide what to do with Artemis? (Simulation or let him die)

[muted moth]

no, it's the second to last part

[tall solar]

Ah then I'm in step 6...like the very end of it

[mild sluice]

Hello everybody! I'm new to the server. I was just curious as to whether we ever get any further exposition on why our base Overseer is...like that.

I have all of my base buddies in their end repeatable quest phases so I've just accepted that your found family is whack

[muted moth]

there are supposed to be little bios for the npcs in the lore part of the catalog now but I forgot to look at them

[quasi yew]

If u talk to null u can make argument soul and give it new life it older then the anomaly it self

That what they call it null an unknown

[swift elbow]

ok i need help

im at the end of the game, the three choices are
ask if there is another way
reset the simulation
refuse the atlas

if i reset do i lose my save?

[barren orchid]

I think not😁

[muted moth]

you don't lose your save

you will have all tech in equipped multitool and ship damaged, and all nonessential (so almost all) tech in suit as well, you can package up as much as possible to avoid that, if you want

[supple bramble]

gimme a refresher what or where is korvax originated from

"kidnapped" gek?

[supple bramble]

also what is "in tandem"

[muted moth]

at the same time

when you get to the point of "The Purge" and are asked to warp around, you can switch and do the Atlas path and each warp you do in that will count for the other one

we don't I think know anything about the origins of the korvax. we know about their struggles after subjugation by the first spawn

[sonic blade]

I finished the main story missions but one thing that still remains unclear is the prevalence of the number 16. Why 16? Is it just because the atlas has 16 minutes remaining? Is it because the portals have 16 glyphs?

[heady condor]

Probably both no?

[muted moth]

the 16 minutes, so the Atlas surfaces the number 16 in all kinds of places as a cry for help

that's my read of it anyways

[candid schooner]

What are freighters meant to be? What's their purpose in the lore? They aren't used for combat and you can't you them for trading. Do they exist to command the frigates? If so why not have a ground station do that. The terminal isn't that large

[uncut harness]

Its a modile base allowing you to move around the galaxy freely without having to worry about leaving too much behind

[candid schooner]

Lore wise I mean. Why do they exist?

[mental socket]

In lore they haul goods through different systems, perform exploration expeditions and so on

Function wise they're simply a mobile base with additional gameplay loops tied to them

[strong bluff]

My bet is that they are meant to be flagships of the frigate fleets. And sort of mobile base for the fleet, with all important stuff for its organization and survival. And they probably do stuff like goods transport (we can steal them) or maybe there might be combat fleets.

And explorers, who just explore space. But we never see Freighters in the action, unless we attack one or one is attacked by the 🏴‍☠️ s.

And as the faction space battles were cut, we don't see them fighting each other.

[soft storm]

For my first galaxy hop, should I head into the center of the galaxy or finish the Artemis storyline? If I finish the Artemis storyline and choose a galaxy which skips a few numbers, can I ever get back to 2,3,4 etc?

[sonic path]

Yeah. You can just go back to Euclid using a teleporter then travel to subsequent galaxies manually.

[soft storm]

So keep a base in Euclid and just head to the center to get to 2 etc?

[sonic path]

Even if you don’t have any teleport points in Euclid, you could go to the center of galaxy 255 to loop back around to Euclid.

[sonic path]

Yep.

[soft storm]

Awesome, thanks!

[sonic blade]

oh that makes so much sense actually thank you

[tough crescent]

Should I reset or refuse at the end of the game

@fervent cobalt

[heady wyvern]

Most people go ahead with the reset.

[tough crescent]

Does it reset the game?

[heady wyvern]

No

[tough crescent]

Ok

[heady wyvern]

It resets the galaxy

[tough crescent]

Oh

[heady wyvern]

By which we mean changes your galaxy

[tough crescent]

Does it get rid of bases?

[heady wyvern]

They definitely could've done better communicating the consequences of this action

[heady wyvern]

No

[tough crescent]

Ok, I’m going to reset

It is done

[soft storm]

Complete Atlas path before doing the Artemis storyline?

[muted moth]

not needed, we usually recommend to do the Atlas path near the end of the Artemis storyline ("the Purge") so each warp counts for both missions

[eternal radish]

I always do Artemis path first and the Atlas path. It has always made sense to me like that.

[tough crescent]

Is the nexus available on the switch?

[mental socket]

nop

[muted moth]

we presume this to be something that they are working to fix, but you shuld report the issue as a bug/feature you miss, to hg

!hg

[cloud jolt]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[muted moth]

it helps to let them know that players really want it

[lapis holly]

doesn't that mean switch players don't get nexus quests?

[muted moth]

yes, that's what it means.

no quicksilver missions.

[lapis holly]

that's sad panda. how could they leave it out?

[muted moth]

I imagine there were some complications with it that they were not able to resolve before release

[lapis holly]

hopefully they will.

[tawdry mica]

Any leaks/news?

[icy citrus]

No

[jovial knot]

If I'm going to reset the galaxy do I need the thing that "has all your memories", forgot the name, and does it actually reset any progress?

[icy citrus]

No and no

[jovial knot]

Awesome thanks.. what's the point of that item in that case?

[icy citrus]

The remembrance is for some lore you can find on stations, in the locked room on the left side as you enter

You also get +1core health with it

[jovial knot]

Oo, that's cool, if I reset the galaxy can I still obtain it afterwards?

[icy citrus]

Yes

[jovial knot]

Alr, thanks again

[icy citrus]

Np

[silent compass]

I know we just got new ships but I wonder if we will actually get any newer far cooler looking ships with sleek designs and maybe neon lights coming out of it. these boxy looking ships and bubble ships are weird and just don't fit the idea of space frontiering

[sterile wagon]

I’m more hoping for an update to living ships. Making them more desirable to use. Right now they are awfully slow

[livid zinc]

Expeditions were announced now coming to switch 👍

[zinc bluff]

The last 4, anyway

[muted moth]

note that according to the patch notes, "As well as their previous rewards, Redux expeditions will also award bonus Quicksilver to all platforms." which will be a way for Switch players to get some qucksilver (no we don't know how much yet)

[lapis holly]

where is this written? I can't find it anywhere i've looked.

[strong bluff]

Today the game surprised me - I got some huge Gek statue as a random space encounter. Unfortunately, there was no interaction with it.

[muted moth]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/3543798390545433693/

[muted moth]

Rubble of the First Spawn I think it's called, and yeah, some of the space encounters are just to look pretty and take nice wallpaper pics 🙂

[lapis holly]

ta. hopefully that's a while off before going live. want to give microsoft plenty of time to make the $1/3 months of GPU deal live. :)

[muted moth]

I am guessing the first rerun will start tomorrow. that puts it on a Wednesday (typical day for updates) and just at the start of the US holiday season, like last year. This is only speculation, I have no inside info

[eternal radish]

Will you do them again?

[muted moth]

my plan is not, I've never rerun an expedition tbh. but I'll likely watch all the streams and take a pile of notes so I can be helpful to others 🙂

what about you?

[eternal radish]

I don't know. I have done all of them and I don't know if the extra QS is worth it.

[muted moth]

we don't know how much extra that is, indeed

[eternal radish]

500

🤣

[lapis holly]

500? That wont even buy you a roll of space-toilet paper.

[muted moth]

the recent grasses were 500 I think, weren't they?

suppose it's 500 per phase though. then what?

[lapis holly]

Then it's worth doing.

:)

[icy citrus]

They haven't ever given us Quicksilver for these

[lapis holly]

but yeah. just kidding really. I'll be doing them even if the QS was not available. just hoping that the timing is good for me.

[icy citrus]

I'd bet it's a large amount

[eternal radish]

Are you doing them?

[icy citrus]

Hmmm

Maybe emergence and polestar

And leviathan

[eternal radish]

I mean I would collect stacks of faecium for 100.000 QS lmao.

[lapis holly]

Shovelling faecium used to be a career so why not? :)

[eternal radish]

Emergence doesn't get a rerun this time.

[icy citrus]

Oh yeah, that was 4

5-8 this time

[eternal radish]

Though, usually I am able to finish a regular expedition in a weekend. I even managed do to that with Leviathan. Since the reruns are shorter it might take me slightly less time.

[lapis holly]

if they are all available through xmas I'd be happy.

[eternal radish]

I want to raid the entire QS shop.

[lapis holly]

that is a long term goal

[muted moth]

they won't all be available through christmas but rather they will run in sequence, each one for two weeks, if last year is any guide

[lapis holly]

oh poop

[muted moth]

but milestones will be reduced so that time to complte them should be a lot shorter for the redux

[lapis holly]

yeah I just want it to start as close to xmas as possible is all :)

[prime slate]

Yay, just got dream aerial!

[eternal radish]

Any idea when the reruns will start?

[muted moth]

my guess is tomorrow. but it is only a guess

wednesday is the usual day, this would be just before the u.s. holidays (thanksgiving there), which they did last year

[eternal radish]

I think I might do them again. I can finish it in a weekend.

[muted moth]

exobiology would be the first one

2 weeks

let's see when it starts and what the new milestones look like

[eternal radish]

I hope the collecting faecium part will be less long this time.

[muted moth]

50 a bit too much? 😄

I remember the explorers standing one, ugh

funnily enough, that save is now my current main save.... my old main save doesn' get played much

[eternal radish]

I remember that. NOOOOOO 😣😣

[eternal radish]

I remember it being more tho

[muted moth]

it was 50

[eternal radish]

Oh

Maybe I am confused with Nexus missions there

[muted moth]

I just wrote up the initial notes file with the old milestones etc, so I can revise them once it starts

and it was 50 dung samples

not 50 faecium, 50 actual dung samples 😄

[eternal radish]

That's still a lot of work if you'll have to get it from animals

[muted moth]

yes, you do because that's waiting for 50 bowel movements

[eternal radish]

I remember my enthusiasm when an animal finally took a shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[muted moth]

they do cut the milestones back though so the expd can get done a lot faster (6 weeks -> 2 weeks)

[eternal radish]

That's probably why it felt like we had to collect more than 50 faecium: the work.

[muted moth]

it is more than 50 faecium

it's 50 dung samples, each one gives I forget how much faecium

[eternal radish]

1 turd is approximately 16 faecium.

[muted moth]

Milestone: Digestive Analysis - Search 50 dung samples

[eternal radish]

That was a really shitty milestone

[muted moth]

lol

well played

this game has some really goofy things in it, when you think about it

[eternal radish]

Goofy stuff and very deep and serious lore at the same time

I love that about NMS

[muted moth]

Hello Games has confirmed it'll be re-running all four of 2022's Expedition starting this Thursday, 24th November.

(eurogamer article)

so there's the start date

[eternal radish]

Good thing is I'm free

I wonder if I can claim my expedition rewards again

[muted moth]

Expedition 5 (Exobiology) runs from 24th November to 8th December

[eternal radish]

Where did you find this?

[muted moth]

no, you already have them unlocked. BUT there is going to be some quicksilver given for these reruns

https://www.eurogamer.net/no-mans-sky-re-running-this-years-limited-time-expeditions-starting-this-week

guntie just posted it in the other channel

[eternal radish]

I still remember playing the Emergence rerun at the start of this year when I was in quarantaine because my family got COVID 😅

[muted moth]

oh my! I mean... safer to stay in I guess!

[eternal radish]

Thankfully I didn't get it. I don't live with my family but I visited them and later I got the news that my brother had it, so I quarantined myself just to be sure.

That was no problem with an amazing game such as NMS and the Sandworm/Titanworm expedition.

[muted moth]

that was a great expedition for sure

[eternal radish]

It was my favourite together with Leviathan.

[lapis holly]

crud. you were right. time to think about whether it's worth getting SGU early or not.

[rugged socket]

Finish No Man's Sky
Game Breaks every single upgrade of my Exosuit and Starship
Gee thanks, way to ruin a nice moment

[muted moth]

uh yeah. but this was the tutorial

not actually finishing the game

now you know what to expect when travelling to the next galaxy the usual way.... prepare for it

[rugged socket]

Ngl that's extremely bad game design

That's "Impossible" Game made by sweaty 12 years old level bad

[muted moth]

we-ell..... it used to be even more dire 😄

[unborn bough]

@lethal nimbus a new galaxy completely unexplored by you. If this is your first jump you will go to Hilbert dimension, the galaxy number 2 in the list...

[lethal nimbus]

ok, but I won't get more credits or nanites or anything?

[unborn bough]

Nope!

[lethal nimbus]

or better upgrades

[unborn bough]

Nopes.

[lethal nimbus]

so it's more for achievement and done that

[unborn bough]

better planets maybe, new fauna and flora to discover.

[lethal nimbus]

ohh so new flora, that's nice

[unborn bough]

yeah! and Hilbert is better than Euclid, but Eissentam is the best.

[lethal nimbus]

ok thanks

ohh one last thing

can I travel back?

[unborn bough]

Of course.

Just tp back to your base in euclid.

or a know station in euclid

[lethal nimbus]

ok, thanks once again. I was afraid that I'd lose the base

[unborn bough]

Nope, bases are all safe.

[green stirrup]

whats a best use of silver? just sell?

and which economy is best to sell silver

[sterile wagon]

Silver is used in freighter compartment construction.

[muted moth]

there's no economy that's best for selling it in particular, just check a few space stations/trading posts and don't take a loss on it

[chilly grove]

and modifying aspects of companions

[lapis holly]

how so?

[muted moth]

https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/08/22/no-mans-skys-futile-atlas-ending-embodies-everything-wrong-with-the-game/ 😄

https://www.polygon.com/no-mans-sky/2016/8/29/12640156/center-galaxy-guide-video-what-happens-next for more deets

[lapis holly]

this seems way too familiar to my own experience.

[lapis holly]

6 years on and it's basically the same. I was /so/ disappointed at having gotten to the centre and seeing what the game did (nothing). It really zapped a lot of love out of me.

[muted moth]

well then, if I understand it, you couldnot go back to your previous galaxy. there you were, stuck, starting over in the new location, done

[lapis holly]

ooooh. total reset, then?

that, honestly, would've ended NMS for me. I can see why that would've been done in a game nowhere near finish but that'd be the end for me.

[icy citrus]

Eh, you only had one ship, one base and one freighter - all you lost was the base

[lapis holly]

ah

not THAT bad, then.

[muted moth]

😆

[sterile wagon]

Kill him

[heady wyvern]

Depends on which robot you're talking about:
If Hardframe Minotaur, it isn't sophisticated enough to hold them.
If Laylaps, well... that body is already occupied.

[topaz moss]

sentinel quad

[eternal radish]

Do what feels good for you.

I wish I could clone Artemis 😭😭😭

Therefore we need their DNA. What if some Korvax scientists have samples of them or someone in the Space Anomaly? 🤔

[analog breach]

Ask atlas .He could recreate her.

[eternal radish]

Technically

[eternal radish]

According to this there must be thousands or millions of Artemises out there tho.

[heady wyvern]

Yeah, the Hardframe Sentinel isn't sophisticated enough to store Artemis's consciousness.

[muted moth]

yes, all either permanently dead or trapped in a pocket universe.... shudder

[sonic path]

I find it so interesting that people get so caught up on the right decision on the Artemis questline, but I never see people get caught up on the right ending for a quest in other games.

[heady wyvern]

I suppose it's precisely because there's no mechanical consequence for it. No basis for the choice other than "do I morally agree with this option?"

[strong bluff]

It also shows that the game has good story when people get immersed in it instead of just picking a choice for better reward or something random to just continue with the playthrough.

[strong narwhal]

Hey guys, so the Atlas ask if I want to die. If I choose yes will it actually kill me?(game character)

[heady wyvern]

There's no dialogue choice that will kill you.

[strong narwhal]

What happens if I reset the atlas

[strong narwhal]

Ok ty

[eternal radish]

The Artemis part legitely made me cry and I don't cry fast. I felt such a bond with Artemis.

I think it doesn't happen a lot in videogames that you have to make such a drastic moral decision. The only game I where have seen stuff like that is The Walking Dead game series from Telltale Games.

It would have been interesting if, just like in the Walking Dead games, you'll see percentages about the choices players made in NMS when playing the storyline, such as how much % of players uploaded Artemis and how much % allowed Artemis to die.

[muted moth]

what do you do about players with multiple saves who have chosen some of each?

[wraith comet]

@uncut harness Always choose reset in my opinion, just wasting an opportunity to choose your destination otherwise

@uncut harness It doesn't actually make any impact on the story, you just make more work for yourself by refusing

Uh, maybe,never tried

Aside from tech damage no penalty

And only when traveling through the actual core. I recommend doing it at least once to complete the story but you can teleport or use multiplayer to switch galaxies without damage in the future

[icy citrus]

Or pack up your tech before the jump

[wraith comet]

Yeah, I keep forgetting that since 4.0

[weak horizon]

I got given a void egg randomly in the anomaly, is it safe to go through the questline without breaking things?

[icy citrus]

Yeah

[muted moth]

if the egg works for the first step, it should be fine

[weak horizon]

I was warned that doing it before buying one would break my save XD

[muted moth]

no. either the egg will work (pulse gets you that first contact) or it won't, that is all.

[weak horizon]

Ah, already had the first contact ^^ So I'll work on getting a living ship once I am further along the tutorials

[muted moth]

sounds great! there's no rush to get it done. just watch that the game doesn't dup the parts, it has a tendency to do that.

[silver sail]

I just got to "the purge" so do I just carry on with the path the game has set out for me on the galaxy map?

I've tred farrr off that now so it'll defo take a while.

[muted moth]

just keep on the path,do what the game says, psa it will not take hours.

[silver sail]

Alr

[errant socket]

Like an API that would be cool

[errant socket]

I wish I knew to do that 😔

[heady wyvern]

If you highlight a module in your tech inventory, the item card should tell you how.

[errant socket]

I’ve gotten far enough to finish the storyline I think I know that

[muted moth]

knew to do (in advance), not knew how to do, I guess

[heady wyvern]

Ah

No that makes sense

The wording was a bit ambiguous

[soft sequoia]

you could just swap ships to one you don't use and that has no tech, then jump, then swap back when there, same with multi-tools

[dry summit]

this game makes me so emotional with all those choices

like, when Apollo told me we can earn money with those sentinel thing, i choose to tell him about his friend's death

and then, he silenced for a moment

[eternal radish]

Apollo isn’t as heartless as you think at the start.
