nms-spoilers

[solar cairn]

No. Not yet

I've mainly been going off of my memory

I could probably draft one, given a day or two off from work

[dusky kernel]

so are the galaxies themselves different simulations?
like, there's supposed to be 1 traveller in Euclid vs one in ...Enjaxusanto or Cuzcogipper (besides that every traveller is really just the same but copied)

so every time you jump, it's really just starting another you in a different.. wait what?

[uncut harness]

pretty much

each core jump takes you to a different simulation

[uncut harness]

alright, at some point I'll start one if you're interested

[dusky kernel]

you, or another you because I thought it was like "jump from Euclid, old you stays there, you, as in the player, control another you but in Hilbert"?

[uncut harness]

you are always the last traveller

[solar cairn]

Definitely

[dusky kernel]

every traveller's the last

[uncut harness]

only you are the last

[dusky kernel]

and everyone is the same traveller

[solar cairn]

Yeah, how travellers go from 1 iteration to the next is unclear

But all Travellers were created from the same data

[uncut harness]

Every traveller is the creators mind scanned and given form, yes

[dusky kernel]

I thought it was just from death, but now I have to add core jumping into the mix

[uncut harness]

but not every traveller is the same

[solar cairn]

We don't even know how they die

[uncut harness]

death does not bring about a new iteration

you die and remain the same, null has died and remained the same

[solar cairn]

There were some Derelict Freighter logs that said a crew found out one was a traveller, and repeatedly killed them for resources

They always came back

[dusky kernel]

oh yeah it says "generation" instead of iteration whoops

[solar cairn]

But we do know Travellers can go to the World of Glass

Meaning, a deletion could occur. Assuming the world of glass is the "deleted space"

[dusky kernel]

what does the world of glass look like according to the lore?

I've heard the construction gek talk about it

[solar cairn]

Nobody knows, not that I'm aware of

[solar cairn]

Overseer Gek is sus as hell

[uncut harness]

the world of glass is glass

[solar cairn]

We know it's purple!

That's about it.

[uncut harness]

Our depository of accumulated data became a heaven and a hell. If you could live there, you would see only light.

You would see only glass.

[dusky kernel]

yeah I kinda just assume it's that purple glass, maybe mixed with the glass column planet, but spread out on a very large or infinitely wide scale underneath space itself

[mighty rampart]

so many glass related updates lately, is HG really building up to something or just filling in the lore gaps

[uncut harness]

I think for a lore project it would need to be separated into 'internal' and 'external' lore

[dusky kernel]

glass

[uncut harness]

where internal is everything that happens within the sim (gek, korvax, vykeen lore etc) and external is everything that is not bound to the simulation (boundary failure, wt etc)

seeing as they aren't too interlinked

[solar cairn]

They are very loosely linked, but this is a smart idea to look at a "Simulated" lore
And Outer Lore

[uncut harness]

They are linked, but its impossibly difficult to pair them chronoligically

[solar cairn]

Can't help but think of the Millions of other races, before the boundary failures and repeated patterns... Could travellers exist during that time?

[dusky kernel]

always thought these planets were a representation of the WoG, only in the sim and more tame

[uncut harness]

there are almost no hints as to when things happened internally and externally in comparison to each other

[solar cairn]

It's like reading results from an experiment, series of experiments.

And an overall drama of the scientist's life, with experiments in tandem.

[uncut harness]

Looking back at the BCA stuff I think it is still plausible that its null

[solar cairn]

I wonder what series of events caused Null to be what they are now.

[uncut harness]

I think the answer lies in linking ToM, BCA and sentinel pillars

maybe boundary failures too

[solar cairn]

I'm gonna take the time to dig in the ARG, see what I could find in there

[dusky kernel]

how he went from exploring, realizing it all really meant nothing, to getting a light as a head

yeah I wish I knew too

[solar cairn]

Funnily enough, even the light head has lore too

I kinda want to know of the other races. The iteration ambassadors we see in the anomaly. Hypothetically, they all were travellers before Atlas repeats itself in predictions and before boundary failures.

[uncut harness]

and our own story

[solar cairn]

If I have time today, or later on tomorrow. I'll see if I can start the Framework on lucid Spark.

And have a section off hand for related materials, like Raw Data excerpts, and the ARG website to pull from.

[uncut harness]

Im working on something at the moment

[dusky kernel]

heard of some botched appearance modifier factory and the workers made their heads light, except it didn't only look like light from the outside, but it was light. they presumably died a horrible death

[uncut harness]

Although Im a bit busy, I'll see how it turns out

[solar cairn]

Something like that. They were working on the tech to replace one's head with light. And there were many failures.... And headless corpses

[uncut harness]

So far I have a line with internal on the top and external on the bottom

[solar cairn]

Sounds good.
I'm currently in Clinic for School, and then have to work 8 hours. Probably won't get much done iirc

[dusky kernel]

So does null's head only look like light or really is just light?

[solar cairn]

*casually working 14 hours... *

[solar cairn]

I don't think there is anything organic left of Null or Apollo.
Null became what his name is .. Nothing.
He has ribbon cabled arms and legs, no head. Only light and cables

At least Apollo still had a shred of personality left

[dusky kernel]

null is called null for a reason, should've seen that one coming

[solar cairn]

Or if Null was the First to escape the world of glass.

[uncut harness]

where does the head of light stuff come from?

The origins of it?

[solar cairn]

I believe it's Factory Logs.

[uncut harness]

that sucks

[solar cairn]

I'll check the Raw Data Site

[uncut harness]

they aren't stored

[wet copper]

I don't really know if this is a spoiler but I just noticed that rememberance and star seed interact

I don't know how...

but they both have a white line around them indicating a symbiotic relationship

[uncut harness]

They have adjacency bonus

thats a technical feature

It gives you an extra health pip when you have them together

[wet copper]

pip?

[uncut harness]

health pip

health point

whatever you want to call it

[solar cairn]

I'm having a hard time finding it on the Raw Data Site too. But I distinctly remember reading it

Wonder if the Website Owner is willing to help

[uncut harness]

which site?

[eternal radish]

Apollo still has their brain and organs left. They're like Robocop or Darth Grievous.

Idk about - null- tho

[solar cairn]

This one https://www.nomansskyresources.com/before-you-begin

Made by a Fan it seems.

[solar cairn]

True. Yeah.

[uncut harness]

does that have datamined lore somewhere on it?

[solar cairn]

Lore? No

Well, it does have logs of what we already have seen. But nothing that we don't already know

Most datamined content it has, is the QS items

[uncut harness]

I wonder if the wiki has all the factory logs/NPC interactions etc

stuff that isnt stored in collected knowledge

[solar cairn]

It might.

I know for a fact this website does

[uncut harness]

where on it?

that would be datamined lore

[solar cairn]

https://www.nomansskyresources.com/search-results?q=NPC+Dialog

[solar cairn]

I didn't know if you wanted that or not, sorry.

[uncut harness]

awesome

that will help

[solar cairn]

I sometimes use it as reference, if I can't look in the files myself

I might ask the Website owner if they would like to help our project. And or make a video of the completed thing.

[solar cairn]

Taking a look at the website some more. Alantdeum refined to pungeum... In a process of "Restoring Harmony"

[uncut harness]

pugneum is what connects the hive

so atlantideum is a corrupt version of that

[gloomy isle]

Hmm so the influence of the Abyss is spreading as a change in the pugneum?

[opal jetty]

Man wouldn't it be great if we ever went to the remains of what was Korvax Prime?And when you enter the system it's basically a whole new system filled with technollogy from every star-to moon-to space station even the planets as well.And it also would be nice to be having smth similar to this song when we enter in that system https://youtu.be/_ah9ISyAM6I

[solar cairn]

The Dissonance

[solar cairn]

Possibly

[main bison]

As a fellow Guardian, I love that track you linked.

[opal jetty]

My brother in Light, didn't think i would find someone who played Destiny in here ^^

[main bison]

Per Audacia Ad Astra!

[opal jetty]

I'll see you starside!

[main bison]

We do got Hunter drip since the Outlaws update!

[solar cairn]

This looks like Other Games and Media to me

[dusky kernel]

apparently you can move the camera during the galaxy switching cutscene and I found out just now

it's like with the loading screen

you can move the camera there too

[whole ginkgo]

What is that big like stargate structure?

[glass flare]

you mean a portal?

[ancient pendant]

Relic gate maybe

[gloomy isle]

Sooo about the new stations

Has anyone talked about how they all seem to have big thrusters on the back?

More prominently than the thrusters that sometimes appear on current stations

[glass flare]

well i saw a couple youtubers mention it. personally i think they're just decoration

[mental socket]

Same. I doubt the stations themselves will move or anything.

[icy citrus]

They are going to follow you around actually

[gloomy isle]

Yeah I doubt it's anything

Unless if we can own them, they might be summonable

But other than that

[gray tinsel]

Holy shit I just found my first friend Artemis after such a long time (and 2 years irl)

I've been following a black box this entire time?

That's dark

[solar cairn]

It might be a customization point, and nothing more. Like Freighter Engines... They don't do anything, but look cool

[radiant folio]

Does anyone know that the prefix auto (meaning self) and the suffix phage (meaning devour) together making autophage (the new race in interceptors) would mean self-devourers. idk, probably just a conspiracy, but freaky.

[glass flare]

yeah I've mentioned it before. Autophagy is a thing in biology, where cells consume parts of themselves that are considered useless or damaged. I assume the inference is the same here, that these robots were considered not worth keeping around

[gray tinsel]

I just uploaded Artemis to the simulations

What about all the other graves I find around the universe, can I use another mind arc and give him company?

[icy citrus]

No

[gray tinsel]

😦

At least I brought him back from the dead in some way

How do I talk to him in the simulation btw? (I don't want to spoil others in the other channel)

[gloomy isle]

Kanaju on YouTube made an interesting point

They changed the icon colour for bio horrors to purple

[uncut harness]

||So nada is from a different universe right?||

||And so are the sentinals?||

||How exactly did they end up in this universe?||

[mental socket]

sentinels are omnipresent

they exist in every iteration of the universe

[uncut harness]

Oh

[mental socket]

as of Nada. I'm kinda unsure of their origin. I recall they're from outside of the simulation or sumthing

someone please correct me if I'm wrong

[glass flare]

from the Sentinel Pillar lore: A Korvax and a Gek fled their people. Hands held in the void, they inhabited an anomaly. A meeting place in the stars. A nexus. A place of hope. We left it alone. We did not interfere. We just watched them, and wondered.

how Nada and Polo became aware of the the nature of their reality or gained sentience beyond other NPCs is unknown to me though

[slow hatch]

Jaws theme plays

[solar cairn]

One universe

[solar cairn]

AND still don't know beyond Atlas simulation. They too get reset

[uncut harness]

Nada is from another universe, polo is from ours

So far I've just put down a line to separate internal and external horizontally, and a smaller line in the middle to designate 16, where we are now

So just a big timeline

@solar cairn I'll try to put some more stuff on it tomorrow and grab you a link, then we can start building stuff up

[solar cairn]

Sounds good!

[unkempt rampart]

I know this is from days ago but i think i remember one when i was doing the quest that was babbling about seven and then when i gave it the Atlantideum it said seventeen, dont know if it helps but all i can think it could be related to the 16 minutes till shutdown thing

[ancient pendant]

I figured that was a bug

[solar cairn]

It is in a way

[meager tangle]

I'm starting to wonder. Are the 'boundaries' between realities that are falling different partitions? Is deleted information finding its way to a small cache the atlas can't flush out?

Or.... What if the Atlas is really a power plant? Not really simulating entire universes, but a tool of a type III civilization stuck creating small localized galaxies to harness them as power?
Perhaps it's not 16 minutes until the end of everything, perhaps it's 16 minutes until the technician gets back from his hour lunch

[heady wyvern]

I thought these boundaries were partitions between "instances" of the simulation - i.e. player sessions which all take place in the same galaxy/universe, but are mostly separate.

[meager tangle]

I've been wondering about that too, like what if the Atlas didn't make Travellers like it thinks, what if the creator didn't abandoned it at all but has lived so long in so many different lives the creator is trapped in its own simulation with nothing but a nagging feeling there's something unremembered, and an urge to see everything. Or perhaps the creator uploaded its mind into the atlas itself and the resulting new being does nothing but create and fear death

[glass flare]

it's always been a bit vague to me because they tried to shoehorn an explanation of multiplayer into the idea of iterations of the simulation

[meager tangle]

And then try to fight Travellers in other simulations being actually people with the same breath

When I was new, I couldn't help but wonder if NMS was themed to be one of those futuristic based games where you actually went inside the game and lost all memory of the outside world while you played

Like our character was just someone sitting in a net Cafe hooked to a chair for an hour playing a few million years of a game before work

[glass flare]

well, that's what the Dreamers basically were in the Waking Titan ARG. the VR device used players' dream state to interact with the simulation

[gaunt kettle]

Well if lore is to be believed the creator left and as a parting gift allowed atlas to upload a digital reconstruction of their brain

[unborn raven]

high five my vy'keen brothers

[sterile quiver]

did artemis die

oh

so he doenst die

oh its a choice

upload artemis or kill him

[icy citrus]

Artemis is already dead before you ever meet them

[sterile quiver]

dude this is a no brainer

kill him

what

[icy citrus]

Yep

[sterile quiver]

yea but how was he talking to us

[icy citrus]

You talking to voicemails

[sterile quiver]

WHAT!

[icy citrus]

They aren't

[sterile quiver]

so he isnt actually responding to us?

[icy citrus]

But then again, in a way they were

We are all iterations of the same code

[sterile quiver]

what

ok what if we kill artemis

[icy citrus]

What?!

[sterile quiver]

again

[icy citrus]

Just you killing you, cause you said you could choose

[sterile quiver]

so

i would kill my self

[icy citrus]

Null is you

Apollo is you

[sterile quiver]

i thought i was

anomoly

[icy citrus]

Artemis is you

[sterile quiver]

i thought apolo was the alien

[sterile quiver]

so im dead

why do people say " The hardest choice"

if u caared about the story so much and u love artemis

just upload him

[icy citrus]

It's all perspective

[sterile quiver]

okay

so i am dead

?

[icy citrus]

From theirs, they likely thought that putting them in is imprisoning them.

No

You are another iteration

We are all in the sim

The same

But different

Over and over and over and over

[sterile quiver]

so they think i am dead

wait

so

the game is in a simulation?

based on one

[unborn raven]

we're all simulated so no one is really dead

[icy citrus]

Yeah, the universe is a sim

Atlas "controlled"

Powered at any rate

[sterile quiver]

what!1

[icy citrus]

WHAT

[sterile quiver]

okay so that just ruined it

[icy citrus]

Spoilers bruv

[sterile quiver]

yea

but

OKAY

[unborn raven]

lmfao

[sterile quiver]

so

how did artemis die

[unborn raven]

going to the spoilers channel and being like "BRO!!! dont spoil it!!"

[sterile quiver]

in a simulation

where we cant die

[icy citrus]

The simulation dictates that it is so

So it is

[sterile quiver]

ohh

so who made the simulation

[icy citrus]

We looping

Loop

[regal heron]

things 'die' in the simulation
the simulation ends
and repeats
endless cycles

[icy citrus]

Wouldn't it be cool if they take us to the end of the sim, and then the next Update we wake up to 1.0 gen, but current aesthetics?

And then loop through the variations again

[sterile quiver]

...

[icy citrus]

Sean

[regal heron]

if any game had an ingame lore reason for the big ole Reset Button it's this one 🤣

[sterile quiver]

sean??

okay

[uncut harness]

That side of the story is heavily answered within Waking Titan.
Which as a new player, is tough to understand at first but fills in the gaps once you've "finished" NMS.

[sterile quiver]

oh

sean is a human

[regal heron]

The creator

[sterile quiver]

no im sayying who made the simulation

in the game

game

[icy citrus]

We presume from the lore that humans made it

[sterile quiver]

it was mentioned?

[icy citrus]

Some future humans

Probably working for frighing W/RE

[sterile quiver]

am i close to the end of the game

[regal heron]

there's glimpses, hints

[sterile quiver]

im kinda getting bored of the story

im at the part where

[uncut harness]

F W/RE. 😠

[sterile quiver]

i contacted with artemis

through ho,lagram

i already went in the deathstar

[icy citrus]

Talking to yourself

[sterile quiver]

yea

dude

[icy citrus]

Do what you say to do

[sterile quiver]

forget about artemis died

[icy citrus]

You gotta, it's the rules

[sterile quiver]

so

am i close to the end

[regal heron]

getting there, there's more

[sterile quiver]

like how much more

3 hours?

[regal heron]

🤷

[icy citrus]

3 hours 37 minutes

[sterile quiver]

oh

thats alot

theres combat in the story right

[icy citrus]

Oh ok

2 hours 6 minutes

[regal heron]

depends how focused you are on doing it
16 minutes

[icy citrus]

No clue what you are on

Contributor: bkay201#1943

[icy citrus]

Which mission

[sterile quiver]

ohh

im in alone admist the stars

damn

[icy citrus]

Lmao

[sterile quiver]

alot more

i just wanna get my cool loot for finishing story

[icy citrus]

12 hours 5 minutes

[sterile quiver]

save editors can do this right?>

[uncut harness]

Then after you got 3 more stories to do.

[sterile quiver]

just skipping the story?

[regal heron]

lmao

[sterile quiver]

3 STORIES??

theres one

the artemis

[uncut harness]

That's the main one.

[sterile quiver]

okay

will i get a reward for finishing main

[unborn raven]

the story is pretty long

[uncut harness]

Then you got Dreams Of The Deep which is underwater, Atlas Path and Traces Of Metal or whatever it's called.

Base Missions kinda.

[icy citrus]

Yo yo

[unborn raven]

you will get a reward for finishing it but you also get a ton of rewards along the way. it's more of a tutorial really.

[icy citrus]

Don't forget about the pirates

[uncut harness]

And the pirates!

[sterile quiver]

do i have to go through them??

the story so repetetive

[icy citrus]

Short but sweet

[uncut harness]

Rewards are worth all of them though.

[sterile quiver]

go here

scna her

hold e

go different planet

scan here

[uncut harness]

Even Laylaps the innocent getterer in the wayer is pretty cool.

[icy citrus]

Doesn't even know why they are scanning

It's sad

[uncut harness]

😭

[sterile quiver]

yea

[regal heron]

[sterile quiver]

okay

so does the main character

have a name

[icy citrus]

Yes

[regal heron]

yes

[sterile quiver]

what is it

[icy citrus]

What is your platform username?

[sterile quiver]

gdsade

no but

[icy citrus]

Lol

[sterile quiver]

what is the name of the protagonist

[ancient pendant]

The main char is gdsade

[icy citrus]

The what now

[ancient pendant]

Typo

[regal heron]

gdsade

[sterile quiver]

okay

so theres no name

[unborn raven]

no, the main character doesnt have a set name. it's just you.

[sterile quiver]

okay

[uncut harness]

You are referred to as 2394829084924924924G.

[ancient pendant]

You are a traveler

[sterile quiver]

ohh

[ancient pendant]

One of many

[sterile quiver]

239489

okay

[ancient pendant]

Alone but part of infinite

[sterile quiver]

why numbesr

[ancient pendant]

4924G

[sterile quiver]

why not letters

[regal heron]

iterations

[icy citrus]

To better control you

[sterile quiver]

492g

[uncut harness]

Traveller count I guess. That's you.

[unborn raven]

i thought the iteration was the name of the "universe," not us

[ancient pendant]

One universe per traveler it’s meant to be, I think

[unborn raven]

yeah

[icy citrus]

But the boundaries are breaking

[uncut harness]

We about to meet Mum. 😩

[unborn raven]

each universe instance is named like F48820G83 and has a traveler named whatever our name is

[icy citrus]

I really want to use the failures to ship warp galaxies

[uncut harness]

Oh damn yes.

[unborn raven]

boundary failures ftw

one of the coolest assets in the game

[icy citrus]

We got to "use" them once

[uncut harness]

Quite literally the Sellotape of the universe.

[icy citrus]

That was fun

[unborn raven]

one day i'm gonna find my perfect base spot with a portal and a boundary failure within 300u on a flat plane

or 600u or however big a base is

[ancient pendant]

When

[icy citrus]

Community missions, back in what? 2018?

2019?

In there

[unborn raven]

what'd they do

[ancient pendant]

Ah I started playing like the update before Waypoint

[uncut harness]

Smiled and waved.

[ancient pendant]

A good month or so before waypoint

[icy citrus]

We used them to align and read some lore tidbits pertaining to the mission

Feeding the weird fractures on planets

Probably Void mommy

Still sounds weird

[uncut harness]

I can only picture a purple orb fronted with a medusa mask.

[icy citrus]

Well

Thanks for that

[uncut harness]

That what you're picturing now too huh?

[sterile quiver]

What happens when u reset simulation

[uncut harness]

Simply described as new game plus.
You'll keep your stuff (mostly broken) and be in a new universe.

[unborn raven]

just call it the atlantid instead of being a Lesser Voice imo

[icy citrus]

I'll be calling it The Abyss

But I figured that was more recognizable for most

[unborn raven]

[uncut harness]

||Drink the water.||

[icy citrus]

I always pictured the abyss very vaguely - like a chthonic nightmare you can't describe

[unborn raven]

i always thought the abyss was a space

still feels wrong it's an entity

[uncut harness]

I like that.

[sterile quiver]

even on sruvival?

wait

new survival

new universe?

so how will you play with people on different universe

[unborn raven]

you can take teleporters to each others' bases

[sterile quiver]

ok but now

its impossible finding other people

[unborn raven]

just group w/ them

[sterile quiver]

randomly

since ur in a new universe (not new galaxy)

[unborn raven]

there's a meeting place called the anomaly

[uncut harness]

It's why it's so difficult.

[icy citrus]

Described as similar to the Atlas in power, and the Atlas manifests differently - it doesn't have a physical presence is what I guess I'm trying to say.

[uncut harness]

NMS game play space is huge.

[sterile quiver]

thats why its a difficult desicision?

[unborn raven]

i've only ever run into one other player

i think

we did some derelict freighter missions. pretty good experience

[sterile quiver]

so if ur in a new universe

are u in euclid

[unborn raven]

"universes" are basically your save games

[uncut harness]

You're in Euclid now. Everyone starts in Euclid.

[unborn raven]

euclid is a galaxy

[sterile quiver]

yea but

youre in a new univrse

[unborn raven]

no

[sterile quiver]

dude

when u reset the simulation

ur in a new universe

[unborn raven]

you're in a new galaxy

there are 257? galaxies

but only 255 are normally accessible i think

[unborn raven]

you can interact with travelers (players) from other universes (saves) because the boundaries are breaking

[sterile quiver]

@uncut harness

[uncut harness]

Wrong word, my apologies.

[sterile quiver]

oh

so isnt that the same thing

as going to the galactic core

[unborn raven]

going to the galactic core takes you to a new galaxy

[sterile quiver]

but

[unborn raven]

up to 255. then it loops back to euclid

[sterile quiver]

reseting simulation

ohhh

youll still keep ur items which is nice

[unborn raven]

ya

[sterile quiver]

so can you pick your own galaxy when u go in core

and how is it possible

going to the galactic core

[unborn raven]

the galaxy sequence is fixed

[sterile quiver]

its 300k light eyars away from me

[unborn raven]

the first time you galaxy jump, you get a choice, but it's a pseudo-choice. choosing anything other than galaxy 2 just takes you to galaxy 3 or 4 ot 5

[sterile quiver]

eissentam is the best right

[unborn raven]

Eissentam is a lush galaxy

[sterile quiver]

yea but how

[unborn raven]

but there are lots of those

[sterile quiver]

yea

so its the best

[unborn raven]

eissentam is the first lush

i don't think it's different from the other lush galaxies

personally i prefer harsh galaxies

[icy citrus]

Yeah the galaxies have some different spawn chances, so it's all about what you like to see more of

But you can still find anything, in any of them

[unborn raven]

in early game it's pretty hard to get there since you can't warp very far and probably don't have portal glyphs or scanner tech, but later on your freighter goes like 5.5k ly per warp and you can portal to within 2 jumps of the gateway system

for example i'm just chain galaxy jumping by scanning down a monolith with my exocraft, answering its riddle to locate a portal, building a small base with a teleporter and shelter, portaling to the gateway system, jumping to the next galaxy and repeating the process

[ancient pendant]

Why

[unborn raven]

lots of aggressive sentinels and extreme weather

[ancient pendant]

is the galaxy after eissentam harsh?

[icy citrus]

No, empty

[icy citrus]

Oh, normal, my fault

Like Euclid

12 is harsh

[ancient pendant]

so i gotta travel 2 more to get to a harsh

[left shore]

is it just me or do the korvax cause most of the problems in the galaxy

[uncut harness]

How so?

[ancient pendant]

are victims of genocide and displacement
“Why are you guys such issues!”

[left shore]

but like most of their experiments cause wierd shit to happen

[icy citrus]

Lol that's a fair point

[uncut harness]

They do some bad things, but imo they have the least blood on their hands

Less than some of the travellers

[ancient pendant]

They’re a semi hive mind who came from a living planet made in atlas’ image, unsurprising they’re weird

[left shore]

i mean what have the vy'keen done to screw over most of the galaxy

[uncut harness]

The aeron wars

[left shore]

what was that i forgot

[ancient pendant]

Justified

[uncut harness]

Endlessly fighting a war against the sentinels that they could not win

[ancient pendant]

They didn’t know that

[uncut harness]

Endangering anyone who came across it

They knew it would spill blood

And they knew it would be a long war

[left shore]

i mean the korvax cause problems but the gek were mega evil at one point

[uncut harness]

What galaxy wide problems did the Korvax cause?

[left shore]

they just manifest weird shit like living ships

[ancient pendant]

Am I right in saying if the Vy’keen didn’t fight the sentinels they could have beaten the gek, because the Korvax were strongest before they had Prime destroyed

[ancient pendant]

Korvax Prime did that, not the race

[uncut harness]

I mean, living ships and other void entities were created by the destruction of Korvax prime

So pin that on the gek

Also I wouldn't say that living ships have major long lasting negative affects across the whole galaxy

[ancient pendant]

Is there anything negative about them

[uncut harness]

They're ugly.

[unborn raven]

thats just you

[unborn raven]

if the korvax were the strongest, they wouldn't have had korvax prime destroyed

[sterile quiver]

Whats a khhhht

Who is atlas

[uncut harness]

Atlas is "God".
Khhht/Kzzzt is broken or missing data.

[velvet cypress]

yeahh, soz about that
I thought it was incredibly obvious the first time i played (no that's not an excuse) (imma stop apologizing now i know what i sound like)
game calls you a compliant or noncompliant anomaly approx 16 seconds after you find your ship, with assorted other clues that it's a diegetic simulation
there's a thing called atlas, which in this reality is both the name of a titan that holds up the sky, and the word for a book of maps

[analog breach]

Somnal dust have same icon as atlantideum hmm🤔

[cyan dome]

probably no relation.... but its no man's sky, it could be 🤔

[uncut harness]

Nms reuses a ton of textures

[dusky kernel]

they called Raldwicarn Raldwicam 😭

[dusky kernel]

From Eissentam, #15 Ogtialabi is harsh.

[supple bramble]

wait a minute

we are not supposed to be in galaxy odyalutai
are we...

[dusky kernel]

good question
but it's still there

[supple bramble]

oh yeah

somehow idk if the, galaxy names seemingly randomly generated, but fixed...

[dusky kernel]

first 5 are deliberate, #45 Ebyeloof was originally named Ebyeloofdud

[supple bramble]

i will never get the point of galactic core, and the point of this game

as if, we are supposed to visit every single galaxy

[dusky kernel]

just type at a portal
kinda like what you just did

[supple bramble]

frenchconnectionuk

[lavish mica]

Question about the story … if I go through the portal … will my ship and multi tool be damaged? Should I switch to trash?

This is for “A leap in the dark” … I’m at the portal part of the mission for Apollo

[uncut harness]

Core jumping does that, not using a portal

You're good

[lavish mica]

Ah really! That’s great to know

Kinda … the story is a bit everywhere

These portals… is it best to put a base outside one… so you have an instant access to a portal going forward?

[uncut harness]

I do that for each galaxy I visit, yes

[lavish mica]

Went through the portal part of the story. Planet I’m on has actual earth trees on it 0.0

[sterile quiver]

whats derelict

[tame grotto]

Not really a spoiler. You can also ask about derelicts in #nms-questions

[sterile quiver]

they said it was

[tame grotto]

Who said it was? Did you ask in #nms-questions? It's just a ship you can loot. I do recommend the help channel to learn how to find one and what you can get from it. The game should point you to one as the quests progress iirc.

[sterile quiver]

gie me

give me

spoil me

very very hard

[unborn raven]

hell, good start to the day

thanks korvax monolith

[icy citrus]

Sleep so we can mess with your brain

[unborn raven]

they gave me a nice cup of water too

i feel really refreshed

[icy citrus]

I'll bet!

[mental socket]

zzzz~

[velvet cypress]

The greatest spoiler I can give: ||Life is what you make of it. Spend it wisely.||

[analog breach]

|| sits whole day in front of monitor* ||

[marble geode]

||dammit, was Artemis dead all the time from we meet her at first time? it was just her hologram?||

[willow stirrup]

Maybe

[velvet cypress]

It's unclear, iirc. been a while since i walked the path.

regardless, ||it's up to you to decide if your interactions with her were meaningful, in light of what you now know.||

[marble geode]

oh so i was mean to her? 😛

[willow stirrup]

Apollo will think so

[marble geode]

😛

[solar cairn]

Yes. Technically

Also, no need to spoiler tag here

[lethal olive]

does the artemis quest line lead into the atlas quest line?

[lethal olive]

nevermind, i was closer to the end than i thought

[solar cairn]

They are kinda intertwined, but separate things

[marble geode]

kk @solar cairn

[lethal olive]

should i do the atlas path before going to the center

anyone know the fastest way to jump towards the center, i gotta race apollo

[ancient pendant]

should take you a couple light years away

I think it’s sixteen

[solar cairn]

Each one will require you to go to the center

[solar cairn]

Oh, this won't matter

[lethal olive]

i know it was a joke lol

[lethal olive]

so it would be better to get the main parts of both out of the way then go center

[solar cairn]

Probably

[lean cradle]

So Im a little confused ngl. Is the whole universe is a simulation run by the atlas? Why? What about the other universes like the one destroyed by the sentinels? What is the difference between travelers and anomalies? Since everyone in the actual anomaly structure is called iteration are they just the same person being reincarnated? Are we the players one of the iterations?

[solar cairn]

Those are just iterations

[solar cairn]

And... The short answer is: yes

[marble geode]

hey! that noises break speaking with Apollo or Artemis (don't remember) wasn't that her Freighter pilot trying to find help?, where we found it's wreckage in some planet?

it was really quick dialogue and radio noises

do you know what i mean?

[merry estuary]

You mean when the dialogue is interrupted by static noise....?

[marble geode]

yeah exactly

[merry estuary]

Well static noise is static noise... Unless they were words in the mix, it dont mean anything

[marble geode]

kk

[lethal olive]

i went to a new galaxy and i think it duped my void egg

i have 2 stirring ones now

[lethal olive]

think it gave me an egg for euclid and one for the new one

[solar cairn]

One is like a ghost if I remember correctly.

[lavish mica]

Quite a sad story really isn’t it?

Like it’s very depressing some of the dialogues

Just got up to doing the 3 cartographer missions.

Stupid mission for the korvax cartographer plopped me on an ocean planet with no landfall for 16 IRL minutes looking for a landing

What a cruel cruel mission

[solar cairn]

Oh yeah... NMS is not a happy story at all

[round perch]

I can not find any endings or videos detailing all 16 endings of "The Stranger"I wonder why NMS timed these questlines, they are super interesting

Took me ages to realize who's code we are using to hack into Sentinel Pillars too, the impsoter.

[dusky kernel]

as impossible as it may be, if I ever manage to get the minotaur in the anomaly like I've seen many other times, "Ariadne" is the first and only one going down

[solar cairn]

Woow

Rip Red's PFP

[merry estuary]

Whose is it?

Ariadne?

[round perch]

Yeah!

The pillar identifies you as imposter, I was looking up those timed weekend missions with quest. Seems like she got replaced by something or someone darker, the same Iteration we see right now in the hub

[merry estuary]

It also says something like personality code ari4dne

[round perch]

Aye! [IMPOSTER DETECTED]

I saw it onYoutub and was like "Goddamn.." New players or returning players like me are returning that crucial context because the content isn't available any more (which sucks)

[merry estuary]

So Ariadne belongs to the Sents?

Or used to? Or...

[timber sedge]

So from what I understand, is the corrupted sentinels are influenced by the void mother/the abyss/atlantid. I understand that the sentinels stopped letting telamon access their logs and became more agressive to anything that reminded them of korvax prime dying. Do/will the sentinels still listen to atlas or are they completely doing their own thing?

[merry estuary]

Sents listening to atlas doesnt make much sense to me

[round perch]

The OG Adiadne seemingly got murdered and replaced by something, after she decided to seek out the Abyss

And the Sents are aware of it, doubt she ever had allegiance to them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gZ0peMSZgo

[merry estuary]

I was just thinking because, Imposter implies there was once an Ariadne who was authorised no?

[round perch]

Good point.

[timber sedge]

they dont listen to atlas anymore. they were the Aerons but they took the Atlas' silence toward them as a command. They began archiving everything that reminded them of Korvax Prime. So, if the atlas were to give an order, after all this silence, would the sentinels still follow it?

[merry estuary]

Anymore. That I can get behind, wouldnt make much sense to me for them to attack the atlas' creation when atlas was speaking to them

[timber sedge]

Thats the thing, they only began to become more aggressive to the atlas creation when it stopped speaking. An excerpt from sentinel pillar encounter 11 "One day, a drone fought back when a Vy'keen cub attempted to carve into the mother planet. One day, another obliterated an entire Gek cabal. The Atlas did not prevent this."

[round perch]

I am collecting all the pillar lore myself but I read what Spherion said a few days ago too

They took it as allowance

[timber sedge]

yeah thats what im thinking. They deviated more and more bc atlas seemed to not care

[round perch]

Same with their physical form. They were once raw routines and then were willed int oexistence

After that, they were seemingly (increasingly) untethered

[timber sedge]

going from killing 1 vykeen cub to slaughtering a gek caal

they seem to stray further and further

[merry estuary]

Every day, we stray further from god...

[timber sedge]

But what im wondering is, if the atlas gave an instruction, would they listen? Would they obey? They took the silence as a command, what about an actual command?

Are they still tethered to the atlas

[merry estuary]

Im not sure. Atlas is supposed to be omnipotent, but it doesnt know of the anomaly from what I understand

[round perch]

It doesn't know because its own protocols are being used against it.

[merry estuary]

Or it does, and doesnt care either

[round perch]

Basically created a blind spot, I forgot what Polo exactly called it.

[timber sedge]

Anomaly: something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.
if it is expected that the atlas is omnipotent and sees everything, the anomaly may be an actual anomaly that means that atlas cant see it would be expected to

[merry estuary]

Yesh, I know what an anomaly is lol

[timber sedge]

Lol, I had to research the definition as i knew the gist but not what it actually mean 💀

[merry estuary]

How uncultured of you

:P

Point is, there are things outside of atlas control. Maybe the sentinels managed something similar

[timber sedge]

Huh, that would make sense

Im also thinking about the description of sentinels on corrupted worlds, how it says "Sharded from the atlas". Does this mean the normal sentinels are still connected to the atlas and corrupted are removed? Or does it just mean that the corrupted sentinels have strayed much further from the path of atlas than the normal sentinels who have already strayed?

[merry estuary]

I think at least the corrupted ones are no longer connected to the atlas. The normal ones may still be, or at least think they do his will, but the corrupt ones... they behave similarly though

Difference might be, that if the atlas was to give an order, the normal sents were forced to follow, the corrupted ones wouldnt

But all of them believe they fulfill his will

Then again, you said they were willed into existence by atlas, right?

[timber sedge]

Yeah that sounds about right. The corrupted ones use mor unorthodox methods probably from the influence of the void mother. Theyre change in appearence and arachnid forms along with different weapon types

[timber sedge]

yeah, it was in one of the sentinel logs, let me find it

[merry estuary]

Cause that makes me wonder, if the atlas willed them into existence, could they exist outside of its...will? Disconnected?

Also, I need info on void mother.

[timber sedge]

the thing I was thinking about is the fact that the Korvax Prime was a "copy" of the atlas, so if it truly that similar in power, the abyss could be shaking that Sentinels faith in the atlas through its "song" causing Sentinels to question the atlas and disconect

[timber sedge]

Summarised version from what I know is that it is the dead remains of Korvax Prime, the first convergeance and it influences the corrupted sentinels. It has planted nanites in half the water in the universe hence the warnings "do not drink the water". It has died once but does not want to die again hence the takover of sentinels and corruption of water sources using the nanites. Thats what I've gathered

[merry estuary]

This also plays in line with the Korvax wanting to reach "atlashood" through mathematics

[timber sedge]

That makes sense

[timber sedge]

Excerpt from 1st sentinel pillar

Once, we had no need for visual manifestation or physical form. Our invisible eyes would record, sort, delete the life and death of every world there ever was or would be. We had no thoughts, no personality, no dreams.

2nd pillar (unabridged)

The day we first gained flesh, metal though it was – it was the day we began to fail. The Atlas turned its dreams towards fiction. It began to create worlds in which it would no longer be invisible. In these worlds, we too gained shape. But we were given no new protocols, no new instructions.

[merry estuary]

Lore is fascinating

But that does sound like they could be just fine without atlas willing them around

[timber sedge]

I absolutely love it. The fact that it just builds off each other is amazing

[merry estuary]

Was the atlas "creating" sents the result of it breaking?

[timber sedge]

Apparently they never received new instructions. Even when they became the Aerons beacuse the atlas made them, the atlas was still silent. THe atlas hasnt willed them to do anything in a long long time

[merry estuary]

New instructions also means they had some in the first place...why not stick to those? Did they encounter situations they were not prepared for?

Probably because they had a physical form now

[timber sedge]

Yep, I agree

And then the creatures they had been archiving began to attack them. To shoot them. The atlas was silent

They eventually fought back, the Atlas still silent. They probbaly took this either as the Atlas approving or not caring

[merry estuary]

Were the creatures Korvax?

Meh, doesnt make much sense....although

[timber sedge]

No i do not believe. As most of the information I know about comes from sentinel pillars it has some words about the korvax

3rd sentinel pillar (unabridged)

We awoke to a song, chanted on a thousand frequencies. “Behold the drones of the hive, the walkers, the ships… Eheu! Behold the angels of glass, come from their heaven. Their work is the completion of all things, of life, of worlds. So the Korvax worshipped. So they prayed.

[merry estuary]

Does it have any nearer info about what sort of creatures they were archiving?

[timber sedge]

It seems they "would record, sort, delete the life and death of every world there ever was or would be".

[merry estuary]

Yes, but something doesnt add up here

[timber sedge]

Maybe not specific creatures, but their lives and and deaths. The lives deaths of flora, fauna, races planets, systems, galaxies and probably universes

[merry estuary]

Why would the creatures attack them? And none of the creatures we see today on planets are capable of shooting

's why I thought of Korvax, since they are NPCs and closest to the atlas

[timber sedge]

Oh, by creatures i was refering to this excerpt from the sentinel pillars. Stand by

[merry estuary]

Sorry for making you pull out your entire archive 😄

[timber sedge]

Nah alg, this is quite the lovely discussion

4th Sentinel Pillar excerpt

As we swam with void dragons, robotic lifeforms would delight in our presence, but organics would shoot us from the sky.

i accidently said creatures, a more accurate term would be life forms

[merry estuary]

Hm. Organics does rule out the Korvax anyway

[timber sedge]

The organics were the ones doing the shooting

[merry estuary]

And void dragons...living frigates/ships?

[ancient pendant]

Vy’keen and travellers attacked

[merry estuary]

How did I not think of the Vy'keen

Their whole point is to fight the sents

[timber sedge]

I actually do not have any information living ships/frigates sorry. The majority of my knowledge is from the sentinel archive. I do know the ships are related to the void mother and Korvax Prime somehow

[merry estuary]

Thats alright, I was just thinking it might fit.

Since the game also calls them megafauna

[ancient pendant]

I think void dragons are the bio ships and stuff, created by K Prime

[timber sedge]

It does fit somewhere, but theyre not my area of specialty

[timber sedge]

that sounds fair enough

[merry estuary]

And, at least the living frigates, claim to have swam by your side before your memories formed

Swam? Swum? Grammar...

Swimmed.

:3

[timber sedge]

Were they swimming beside the travellers side?

Like by "your memories" is it referencing the traveller

[merry estuary]

They claim so, I know that is not the same, but it at least hints they are very old, and I dont know what else could be meant

Except for living ships, which dont speak sadly

[timber sedge]

I was thinking, as the travellers were a brain scan of the creator (i think) and (once again, i think) the living frigates/ships were the result of the result of K Primes destruction

[merry estuary]

I know nothing about Korvax Prime is the problem, other than the name, and now that it apparently lead to void mother existing. :/

Also stop scanning me 😄

[timber sedge]

Im sorry, i swear i detect some type of anomaly. Curiosity i gues. I'll try to give a crash course in K Prime

[timber sedge]

Kovax Prime was the homeworld of the Korvax, housing an AI "The First Convergeance". It was a "copy" of the atlas to see how it would do running the simulations as individuals, these individuals being the Korvax themselves, who were all connected to the convergeance. After the Endless War between the Aerons the Vykeen and the begining of the Silence of the Sentinels (different story for another time) the Gek, who then called themselves the First Spawn decided to conquer the galaxy. With the Vykeen badly beaten up by the sentinels and the fact that the Korvax were Scientists and not fighter, they launched an attack on Korvax Prime. In what was called the Great Disconnection, they destroyed Korvax Prime, the first convergeance and billions of Korvax. They then enslaved the remaining korvax and started melting some down for technology. The AI that was housed in Kovax Prime somehow "died" and returned as the void mother. Thats about as far as my knowledge goes

Sorry for it being so long and probably full of inaccuracies

[merry estuary]

I think I roughly know the rest of the story... it works for understanding the base, all good 😄

It clears up a lot of questions I had

[timber sedge]

Thats good. My specialty seems to be the history of the Korvax, Atlas and Aerons, thats why I'm trying to figure out whats happening now with this void mother and corrupted sentinel stuff

[merry estuary]

Sounds like a vengeful AI to me really

But that does indirectly confirm that nanites are something connected to the atlas

But what is nanite...

[timber sedge]

That, is a question for another day

This has been quite an enlightening discussion and I thank you for taking the time to indulge my ramblings. I hope you find more answers to your questions Anomaly-Worm Shadow as I gotta get moving cya

[merry estuary]

Very well. I will return another time then, thank you for the discussion ^^

[tidal bramble]

what do we know about these "harmonic scrap" stations? you feed them 71 atlantideum (oddly specific number) and then it says something like "...the fifth... 100001" or whatever

absolutely seems like a sort of code we're meant to break

i've been doing them all whenever i see them and have gotten repeats and haven't had anything trigger yet so i assume the information is all you're there to get

[timber sedge]

The code is binary and the first number denotes it's order. There are 11 variants from "the first" to "the elventh". There is a phrase when decoded

As for the specific 71 atlaridium, I do not have any current theories

[mental socket]

Autophages 12-16 are currently not in the game

[timber sedge]

Or eleven, my bad

[analog breach]

Imo 12 is same as 5. So rest is 4 letter word. Live, love,move,safe,dive,move,rave ??

[cloud plume]

died?

this could explain why they are acting like this, trying to revive but at the same time the hive mind is broken, so they are confused

[merry estuary]

Might as well be "dead"

[cloud plume]

nop

[merry estuary]

or "rise"

[cloud plume]

it's a question

[merry estuary]

Oh! I thought the question marks meant we dont know

[cloud plume]

||fart||

[merry estuary]

It can still be dead though

[cloud plume]

i'm a kid, i know this

[merry estuary]

Void_mother_dead??

maybe?

[analog breach]

My bet is live since geks already destroyed korvax prime.

[mental socket]

Kinda unlikely. Everything seems to hint at Void Mother aka. Abyss becoming stronger and more prevalent across the universe

also korvax stations are saying "I see her" in binary when you feed them atlantideum

[timber sedge]

was just about to mention that. it seems the void mothers influences is either getting stronger or is being noticed

[mental socket]

It's about time. Been waiting for that to happen for a while

Ever since we started feeding the corruption years ago and Ariadne was replaced by the impostor

finally something is happening

[merry estuary]

I would guess so, but "Void mother live" is incorrect grammar

[cloud plume]

Void Mother Wake???

Void Mother Rise?

[analog breach]

Or kzzt

[merry estuary]

I suggested rise!

:3

But I doubt that too. It wasnt "Atlas rise", but "atlas rises" either

[cloud plume]

Void Mother song???

[timber sedge]

That could work

But is it a question enough?

[merry estuary]

Meh

Are the question marks confirmed?

Cause if not, it could be void mother lives

[timber sedge]

i did check this, aparently the binary does translate to question marks, but take with a grain of salt cause im usually wrong

but 12 being a space is not confirmed

[merry estuary]

Hello again, Research-Entity Spherion. puts up scan deflector

[timber sedge]

it could be void_mothers---??

[merry estuary]

void mothers kin?

Although

The damn question marks

[cloud plume]

void mother kids?

[timber sedge]

Anomaly-Worm Shadow acknowledged as legitimate entity

[timber sedge]

Yeah and the constraint of that amount of spaces

[merry estuary]

Wait, 1-11 and 17 exist, but the rest doesnt?

Thats some bs HG

Wheres the pattern

[mental socket]

Yes. 17th is literally "???"

[mental socket]

that's part of the "Evolving story"

[merry estuary]

Im in doubt about whether its meant to be a question then. You dont usually put several question marks behind a question.

[timber sedge]

but if the other spaces were left empty, what is the significance of the question marks?

[merry estuary]

NMS magic number is 16 though

[mental socket]

Abyss doesn't care about 16

[merry estuary]

Im not saying left empty, I just mean...maybe they mean something else

Like an x

[merry estuary]

Also a point @-@

[mental socket]

or maybe they just left it open for now. Setting up something for later. Teasing and making us speculate on purpose

Seann

[timber sedge]

always nice to formulate theories. Creates engagement and anticipation

[merry estuary]

Totally possible. 's why I think the ??? means something else.

Like the encrypted nexus missions

Im sure they are also happy we are theorycrafting.

[mental socket]

Welp. All we can do now is wait for HG to evolve the story. I think it's highly likely that those upcoming space stations hold the next step of this mystery. There's a reason why the camps are built next to broken station cores and Korvax stations seeing "her".

[merry estuary]

Another point towards the open end

Now that you mention it

[timber sedge]

the fact that the space stations are displaying the binary code instead of another building supports this theory

[merry estuary]

the abandoned stations in abandoned systems could also become important

[mental socket]

And we can't forget that last year masses of Gek, Korvax and Vykeen began hearing "Voice of freedom" which made them break and rip open station cores, establishing little hideouts from Aeron surveillance

[timber sedge]

Hopefully, would be nice for them to have more depth

[mental socket]

what entity can have such power to influence all the races that usually follow the simulation so nicely? Even mentioning 16 makes them spasm out

But this voice... it can alter their behavior

🧐

[merry estuary]

Void mother perhaps?

[timber sedge]

only an entity similar to the atlas itself, or was ...

[mental socket]

I'm betting on that

[merry estuary]

As an AI, connecting to the countless electronic devices all the ships, suits and tools have should be a cakewalk

[mental socket]

But then again... who the heck built those camps and multitools? Those tools are modified aeron tech.

Entities controller by Abyss/Void mommy?

[merry estuary]

Outlaws? Its not liked Sents are invincible

[mental socket]

perhaps

[timber sedge]

where do the autophages fit into this? a deceased race that inhabits these planets and resembles Aeron anatomy

[merry estuary]

Outlaws seem to have the tendency to recycle what they can, so why not the parts of their enemies?

[mental socket]

but how are the outlaws different from regular pirates? sometimes they're just pirates, sometimes they seem really sorry for attacking us. Like the one NPC dialog saying "It forces us to fight"

[merry estuary]

Tbh, I think thats a lie to make you give in.

[mental socket]

Like... are there different types of pirates? Ones that are part of the regular atlas sim and other ones that are influenced by Abyss?

[merry estuary]

If void mother can make them tear their station apart.. why not?

[mental socket]

I wonder... if they're rebuilding her?

[merry estuary]

And also, what is more logical for an enemy of the atlas than to rile up her followers to take out the minions of atlas and use their tech against them?

[merry estuary]

HOLY

Void mother rise(s) suddenly got a whole new meaning

[mental socket]

Last year Abyss began turning the Gek, Korvax and Vykeen against Atlas and Aeron surveillance. They began ripping out station cores.

This year the cores can be seen scattered on camps that have modified sentinel tech in them.

Station cores can "see her", meaning something they're building still has some connection to the aeron uplink since it's made from that same tech

all makes sense

[merry estuary]

Even makes sense to have the tools around, you wont build that with your hands...

[mental socket]

The thing they're building can be seen by some cores since it's essentially same tech but modified

[timber sedge]

And since corrupted sentinels cant really build, maybe thats what the autophages were

[mental socket]

Yeah. Sentinel tools for sentinel tech manipulation

[merry estuary]

Im just not fully sure where the ships come in. Are they collateral?

Cause sure, maybe they were shot down to be plundered, but they seem too intact for that, even still have their brain

[mental socket]

That's why outlaw stations have broken walkers and stuff on them! Regular tools can't tamper with Aeron tech like the station cores but if you turn their tech against themselves!

heck

[timber sedge]

That makes a lot of sense

[merry estuary]

[timber sedge]

Indeed

I cannot wait to know more about the autophages

"V O I D M O T H E R "

[timber sedge]

What if the crashed ships were the autophages trying to bring space station cores that failed and crashed. The ones that succeeded set up harmonic camps with the cores until something caused it to go into a harmonic lockdown?

[merry estuary]

Okay, but where are those cores?

[round perch]

It's the other way around no?

Autophages/camps are there TO FIND the ships

[merry estuary]

And why would you use interceptors?

[round perch]

The station cores seemingly protecting them from Corrupted influences

[timber sedge]

only tech available to them because it was Aeron based? the cores are massive, maybe it took multiple and some crashed

[round perch]

The same way the Outlaw cores are open for corruption/influence other than the Aeron/Atlas sphere

[merry estuary]

Sents have freighters too!

Also, there is something else

[timber sedge]

thats fair enough, but have we seen the void mother strong enough to influence a whole sentinel freighter?

[merry estuary]

Autophages "eat themselves" in order to survive. What does that mean in the mechanical sense?

[timber sedge]

Who crashed the ships? How did the cores get there? Who are the autophages and what is there relation to void mother?

so many questions

[merry estuary]

If she can influence millions of individuals at once? Sure, and if its just to make them capture the freighter

[round perch]

mysteries, all over.

[timber sedge]

indeed

[round perch]

I've only recently begun to consume and read the lore, the binary converting is always fun

[merry estuary]

I love speculating

[round perch]

The camps are there to construct something as well

Do we have yet another faction of Sentinels who are avoiding both Atlas and Abyss perhaps?

[mental socket]

Makes sense.

Autophagy= process of using old and damaged parts.

Something broke the interceptor. Something ripped the station cores apart. Now the sentinel/aeron Autophages are there to reuse their broken things left behind by... something?

[merry estuary]

Who are they siding with then?

[round perch]

Themselves? No Korvax Prime/Void mother, no Atlas. They don't adhere to either, to make their own way for the first time outside of a more collective hivemind?

[mental socket]

But the entity was there waiting and managed to destroy the autophages too. That's why we only see their scattered corpses

[merry estuary]

Okay but...what is the plan? They dont seem to have social life, no life cycle, nothing. What is their "point"?

[round perch]

That's a profound question, ain't it.

[merry estuary]

Mmhmm.

[round perch]

I honestly do not know, you might as well ask why we are there and living our life, sharing and caring

[timber sedge]

They were different to the non humanoid floaty sentinel brethren, so there must have been a use for that. The camps, the cores the multitools, maybe they were just automatons, reusing and building and under the oversight of something

[round perch]

the camps themselves are free of noticeable corruption and have an unique tool not seen before. A lot of resources and scrap packed and collected. It's honestly mad exciting stuff.

[merry estuary]

But thats the thing, we can fairly easily find a point to our lives. But sentinels? They literally were created to carry out instructions. Now they dont have instructions, nor an instructor.

[round perch]

Which is begging for a 3rd faction of Sents to explore to what it is to live without undue influence/protocol dictating their mind.

[merry estuary]

And with that Ill have to leave, I'm looking forward to future discussions

[round perch]

[merry estuary]

[timber sedge]

👋

[round perch]

was fun chatting, take care!

👋

[timber sedge]

safe travells

[round perch]

I am ready for moreeeeeeeeee lore, I need it.

[mental socket]

same

gibbb

[timber sedge]

Yess

I wish the harmonic interfaces also gave a snippet of lore, like the sentinel pillars, I would be all over that

[round perch]

Yeah I as hoping for more until I realized what thy were spelling out

Though the Korvax stations seeing "her" and not the other two was just another giddy icing on the lore

[timber sedge]

It was pretty cool to see the space station cores tied in with this

[round perch]

And increasingly so.

The Voice of Freedom sounding more and more enticing (and darker)

Just bummed there are snippets of lore I'll never be able to experience on my own, NMS isn't that big on lore YT videos. I am still trying to find all the endings to the "Stranger"

[timber sedge]

Yeah, was trying to look for lore explained videos on youtube and couldnt find that much unfortunatly. I watched the ones i could, but now i just have to do my own research and extrapolation

[round perch]

[timber sedge]

My abolute favourite lore piece is looking through the sentinel pillar archives, they offer such a wealth of knowledge on the Aerons

[round perch]

Which is brilliant, because I've done all the base archives, I am rounding out my sentinel logs by doing nexus missions whenever they pop u

[round perch]

Wild ain't it, I mentioned the imposter code we are using to access

The boundary failures is what I am hunting too, it's more on the nose lore but wicked cool

Back then e didn't had a catalogue, so the addition is brilliant

[timber sedge]

The boundry failures are definitely my 2nd favourite source, as I love the messages coming from Telamons perspective

My current hunt is on for the remembrance terminals to learn about the Atlas

[round perch]

That too. Agh so much to consume and pour over

[timber sedge]

Ik, isnt it excting? And this is just the existing lore

[round perch]

pe

Precisely, however i'll also retreat for now for the daily chores! Take care!

[timber sedge]

I shall have to go to sleep now, enjoy your day, good discussions all round 👋

[round perch]

Sweet dreams! And indeed, take care now!

[velvet cypress]

So im not asking for the full spoilers, just a refresher
I've walked the atlas and artemis paths; should I know the name Telamon?

Or is that only said outside the paths

[icy citrus]

You need to hit boundary failures, they have lore terminals

[timber sedge]

"Trace of metal" quest also has some snippets of Telamon lore, albeit small. Hit the boundry failures first

[velvet cypress]

Aye, 'tis what led me to ask.

Thankee both

[merry estuary]

Telamon is our suit AI, yes?

[mental socket]

yes

that's why Laylaps calls us Telamon-not-Telamon

and other fun things

[round perch]

Laylaps got some role to play still, bet.

Sinister little troll at times

[merry estuary]

Him when I started talking to him accidentally in the middle of a heated sentinel fight:
"Im having so much fun, Telamon-not-Telamon!"
yeah I bet you do, youre not getting shot at

Lil rascal

[round perch]

[unborn raven]

the vykeen are kind of deranged. there's at least a few monoliths that just have you kill yourself

can you request a wellness check for an entire species

[merry estuary]

You can try lol

[obsidian shuttle]

Anyway, @crude pulsar

[tidal bramble]

hmm, well it would make sense for 12 to be another underscore, yeah? no reason why it would be "Void_Motherrises??", that doesn't really work

[mental socket]

Yeah

[tidal bramble]

and if the question marks are confirmed "Void_Mother_Rise??" doesn't make a lot of sense either

what i would conjecture just from this though, is that, the boundary failures and sentinel pillars say that they can still hear the void mother, yeah?

they can still hear the echoes of the dying screams of that super-sentience that was korvax prime?

maybe that's what the corruption/dissonance is

it's not a "came back wrong" situation as much as it is them trying to resurrect the void mother

and the reason it's all fucked up is because the sentinels are still kind of traumatized / driven insane by the whole event and this just doubles that down and makes it worse

the corruption is definitely happening on-purpose, the virus-like injectors and the fact that the sentinels defend them is proof that this is more than just an anomaly caused by the atlas dying

[mental socket]

especially when we take in count the previous events like us feeding the corruption, Ariadne disappearing (or possibly dying) and so on

[tidal bramble]

when did we feed the corruption?

[icy citrus]

Few years ago

[solar cairn]

Oh dude, in the muntitool merchant questline. Vy'keen rip themselves in half when they are getting old and "too weak"

[unborn raven]

yeah lol

[solar cairn]

And stab themselves with daggers to... "Heal"

The Vykeen are like every sports jock known

[unborn raven]

space jocks

[round perch]

But the best kind of jocks, they are devoted to their cause. t

They look heckin' ugly though, Iteration fashion ftw.

[glass flare]

they are basically Klingons

[analog breach]

And geks are ferengi

[round perch]

Ferengi incidentally killing it

Deep Space Nine, you'll be missed. The finest ST show (and would would influence serialization TV series) for decades to come.

[sterile quiver]

whos atlas

@limber scaffold

Dude

its in the name

no mans sky

[limber scaffold]

yup

[sterile quiver]

sio that means

atlas doesnt own the sky

[limber scaffold]

the atlas is a supercomputer that runs the game

[sterile quiver]

and i own it......

ohhhhhh

the ismulation thingy

[limber scaffold]

the supercomputer is failing however

[sterile quiver]

why

[limber scaffold]

its old and decrepit

[sterile quiver]

OHHHHHHHHHHH AND YOU RESET IT

[limber scaffold]

and you have 16 minutes to reset it

but the game time isnt tied to real time

[sterile quiver]

why

[limber scaffold]

everytime you make a new galaxy you "reset" the simulation

[sterile quiver]

oh

so 16 seconds

[limber scaffold]

because the computer is running a simulator of the universe

[sterile quiver]

ok but technically

theres no people who own the sky

inside the universe

other than me

[limber scaffold]

fair

[merry estuary]

._.

[sterile quiver]

is it the anomoly or nexus

also how did i end up crashing

[analog breach]

Is anomaly hiding the void mother 🤔 korvax prime and the computer at anomaly where you store artemis is also named prime 🤔

[merry estuary]

Doubt it tbh. Prime is just a good word to stick onto everything

[analog breach]

In mns they dont stick the name to everything tho

[merry estuary]

Well no, but just because it occurs more than once its not necessarily connected to the original occurence

[ancient pendant]

To be fair, terminal prime is a simulation of Korvax prime i thought

[gray tinsel]

Hey guys do everyone start in the Euclid galaxy?

I'm doing the atlas quest and every single Atlas I've been to has been discovered by someone else 7 years ago

[jovial barn]

Not me, I found one

[regal heron]

everyone starts in Euclid, yes

in fact everyone starts in the beginner zone, a ring a certain distance from the centre, so you're quite likely to come across discovered systems there
