nms-spoilers

[velvet cypress]

prolly best not to call 'em sus to their face

[quaint mason]

I didn't know what synthetigek means lol

But I searched it up its literally a synthetic gek, bruh

[merry estuary]

What did you expect

[quaint mason]

Idk, the first times I saw it I didn't think of the word synthetigek, in fact I thought it was some weird job like toilgek for example, maybe you know a gek that synthesises things 😅

[merry estuary]

Thats not an official update, its just an update to the experimental branch

[sour fossil]

incremental build to prepare for upcoming patch

[elfin abyss]

patch notes?

[vestal barn]

not in yet

[sour fossil]

The thread on Steam forums is there

But it lists no changes

Other than

[elfin abyss]

I mean if you load up the game with the experimental branch

[sour fossil]

incremental build to prepare for upcoming patch

[vestal barn]

yep just saw the post

nothing new yet

checked

[gloomy isle]

Hopefully it's that bloody memory leak lol

[analog breach]

Branch and emote(s) are here. Is nms there yet?

[wind panther]

Corrupt Portals I believe

[obsidian shuttle]

SPACE STATIONS

[lean lance]

wat

[lean lance]

interesting

[obsidian shuttle]

they are using XML

[icy citrus]

Ayyyyy

[obsidian shuttle]

what will it lead to

portals are linked to the atlas actually?

[lean lance]

there's multiple other dimensions in Nms

World of Glass

the Void

who knows

[wind panther]

New emotes and jetpack trails

[lean lance]

maybe they're the same thing

[lean lance]

that sounds very expeditiony

[wind panther]

They're community research rewards

[lean lance]

ah

interesting

[sour fossil]

Holy moley, lots of trails

[lean lance]

I don't think this is space station updaye

[obsidian shuttle]

people actually want trails?

[lean lance]

I shouldn't have made that pact

[icy citrus]

😄

Thick purple gek in your future

[lean lance]

😭

[obsidian shuttle]

what pact

[wind panther]

No new base building parts or damage types

[sour fossil]

Wait hold on a minute

6 tiers in the same research?

Do I read that right?

[lean lance]

I made a pact that if it isn't a space station update I become a wide purple Gek

[wind panther]

Yes, that's a new thing

[obsidian shuttle]

ha yes

[wind panther]

What would the next expedition be, 9 or 10?

[sour fossil]

10

[lean lance]

10

[wind panther]

Hmm, no new patch then

oh wait, there it is

[sour fossil]

Are the symbols from galactic alphabet visible on it?

[cloud plume]

there as an update?

[sour fossil]

Experimental build only

[sour fossil]

This is the starting banner

That shows up on right side with clues on how to start exped

[tight matrix]

so its a exped?

[wind panther]

Someone translate

While I keep looking

[cloud plume]

POG!

[wind panther]

Notice the Atlas without a red light

[cloud plume]

GlassBorn expedition

[icy citrus]

Woot

[sour fossil]

CRUCIBLE?

[tight matrix]

meh exped no longer excite me cool still

[cloud plume]

wait, wrong timeline, see ya

[sour fossil]

I think it's Crucible but anyone is free to double check me

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nomanssky_gamepedia/images/4/49/Alphabet.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/750?cb=20220224170213

Oh fuck we Destiny now

NNoooooooooo

[icy citrus]

[snow stream]

we dunno anything yet, it could be just an expedition it could be much more than that
it is a mystery

[cloud plume]

new exclusive items

collectibles

oh yea

• new trails? so even more maneouvrability!

[next lagoon]

Judging by there was a pre patch then it's something big

[tight matrix]

they really went crazy with trails

[elfin abyss]

I think it's probably just an expedition and macos

[novel summit]

Watch sean shadow drop the summer update and it's the biggest one to date

[gloomy isle]

Shiiit so it is an interceptor expedition. Hopefully it carries on the stuff we found in the last update!

[cloud plume]

maybe the last word will be revealed?

[gloomy isle]

First expedition I've been excited for in a little while

[cloud plume]

void_mother_blank???

[next lagoon]

@wind panther so any evidence that this is isn't just a expedition??

[wind panther]

Still looking. 9gb is big, so there should be some assets in here somewhere, but I don't know where to look yet

[tight matrix]

the place you least expect

[next lagoon]

Oh crap

[tight matrix]

[gloomy isle]

Could be stations too?

[lean lance]

potentially I suppose

nothing found yet

[tight matrix]

maybe but big updates wasnt long ago

[next lagoon]

9 gb ain't no joke. It certainly isn't all exped items

[elfin abyss]

I don't think so

[tight matrix]

dont get too hyped

[novel summit]

9 gb could just be experimental and the assets aren't in till public branch launches

Perhaps preparing new tech is my guess

[sour fossil]

Just for the folks who aren't versed in English like me

CRUCIBLE

a situation of severe trial, or in which different elements interact, leading to the creation of something new.

[snow stream]

sounds like the new sentinel lore to me

[latent ingot]

Oh these are nice

[gloomy isle]

Yeah it definitely looks to be a cool expedition

[sour fossil]

Yeah people were complaining about Utopia being difificult because no crafing outside of base

BITCH WE CRUCIBLE NOW

[icy citrus]

👀

[digital sentinel]

we ballin ?

[obsidian shuttle]

No trail when

[latent ingot]

I still think the void mother stuff will lead up to a living ship update/revamp

[icy citrus]

I see her

Hop in a corrupted portal

[latent ingot]

Corrupted galaxies when?

[sour fossil]

Yeah no thanks, I aint gonna fall for hot single void mothers in your area

... again

[obsidian shuttle]

Corrupted mother

[icy citrus]

Sure

[latent ingot]

Support single void mothers

[lean lance]

you missing out, there's one near me!

I'm clicking on that ad

I'm not gullible YOU'RE gullible

[wispy geyser]

Only thing found so far is crucible right?

[latent ingot]

Swipe right and its a gek sending you an invite to watch their cam. Not my first playthrough.

[icy citrus]

Corrupted portals, lots of trails

[wispy geyser]

Gotcha

[wind panther]

Searching corrupt right now, seeing some interesting things, need to see if they are new or overlooked

[snow stream]

I'm sure we'll have some concrete answers soon, cowboy emoji man generally means update coming later that day

[gloomy isle]

Corrupted portals??

Sounds cool

[sour fossil]

@wind panther sorry to bother you, can you tell me the path where expeditions banners / decals are stored?

[wind panther]

Let me finish this search then I'll look

[glad kernel]

[wind panther]

Station type B might be gone

[obsidian shuttle]

So

No pact to hold

[gloomy isle]

What's that?

[sour fossil]

The new space station exterior models

Those are the Type B

[obsidian shuttle]

Now became type A?

[gloomy isle]

Aaah okay interesting

Looks like they might be working on them some more but don't want us to see until they're ready

[analog breach]

Portals to the world of glass???

[late tusk]

whats happeinng :o

[analog breach]

Nothing

Yet

Gumsk is data mining to see if experimental branch update has some new things

[latent ingot]

#nms-spoilers message

[late tusk]

:3

:O

[wind panther]

patches are TEXTURES\FRONTEND\ICONS\EXPEDITION

[merry estuary]

New trails look sweet, anything else?

[wind panther]

banners are TEXTURES\FRONTEND\ICONS\BANNERICONS

I'm still trying to find something else to correlate with the possible corrupted portals

[glad kernel]

This means new expedition?

[wind panther]

At some point, Crucible

[sour fossil]

Not corrupted portal

Corrupted portal glyph

Or wait, could still be a corrupted portal that requires Atlantideum to charge

[snow stream]

Yeah the description makes it sound like an entirely new structure

[latent sentinel]

Wait so do you just like search for the names of the variables in the code to find out what stuff is? I’m just curious lmao

[late tusk]

:)

[sour fossil]

Yeah langauge files

A database of all strings (text elements) you see in the game

All names, descriptions, dialogue options are stored there

[latent sentinel]

Ohhh I see, that’s cool

[fallow beacon]

Time to spoil myself

Tell

Me

There's

New

Base

Parts

[wind panther]

No new base parts currently

[sour fossil]

Does an expedition decal count?

[fallow beacon]

...partially

Sure it's going to tho, i have a vitrine to fill

[obsidian shuttle]

After all it had no use

[sour fossil]

Yup, me too

[merry estuary]

More posters

[lean lance]

posters

neat

SEAN DROP UPDATE

[velvet cypress]

(derailing but) presuming time in the Atlas moves at a constant proportion of the time the Atlas experiences, we have 16x the irl lifetime to date of the game plus 15x an unknown quantity (accounting for the duration of the 16th minute that occured bedore launch, which may be 0) of in-Atlas time before zero

which is like 120 years + 15 x unknown

@prime inlet @latent ingot i maeked a meaningless math tangent to a thing (16 16 16 16) in #no-mans-sky that i'd bet you've seen before

[latent ingot]

--kzzkt--

[wind panther]

I don't see any kind of corrupt portal effects. Might be just a mechanic used in the expedition or something

[late tusk]

Internal updated

[snow stream]

Sad

[sour fossil]

Could the 6 tier community research be linked to expedition?

Cause I dont recall a situation where we had this many tiers for 1 research

I know Leviathan did have it with them Memory Fragments

[wind panther]

No new ships, multitools, or sentinels that I can see

or exocraft

[novel summit]

If the expedition is called "Crucible" what does it have to do with a apple

[wind panther]

MacOS

[snow stream]

Clearly they just made all the files invisible

[wind panther]

No new biomes

[gloomy isle]

Crucabble

[novel summit]

Perhaps the new files just aren't visible or not in the experimental build, but will be in the public

[lean lance]

that's perfect and I hate it

[snow stream]

There’s gotta be something somewhere, 9GB is nothing to sneeze at

[lean lance]

defo, prolly encrypted or smth

[novel summit]

Has a expedition ever been 9 freaking gb?

[wind panther]

So, Expedition 10: Crucible, 7 new jetpack trails, something to do with corrupt portal glyphs (possibly expedition related), spacestation B files removed
That's all I've got so far

[snow stream]

Truly a mystery

[velvet cypress]

(what was spacestation b?)

[lean lance]

The new space station models

[novel summit]

I really hope they didn't scrap them

[snow stream]

There’s no way they did

Way too much time and effort went into them to just toss them

[pine hawk]

They seemed WAY too finished to just be scrapped

[wind panther]

Probably just not finished with interior and removed them, as they weren't supposed to be released in teh first place

[novel summit]

Another explanation for the 9gb could just be a expedition, but a ton of changes under the hood so to speak. Massive tech updates to prepare the game for the future.

[wind panther]

Something to think about for the 9gb is that the game is divided into several PAK files, and any change at all to anything in that PAK file requires a download of the whole thing

[icy citrus]

They flat out said it was an incremental patch for the upcoming update

[normal orchid]

9 gig update on experimental eh...

[novel summit]

So what does that imply?

[lean lance]

come oon drop update

[wind panther]

I think they have something fundamental changed in the EXE that they want to test with minor changes in several of the PAKs to go with it, then release the rest of the update once they know that EXE change works

[novel summit]

Has this ever happened before? A update going to experimental before release?

[snow stream]

The closest we got to that was the early living ship stuff

[novel summit]

But was it 9gb

[hard stirrup]

The full update has not gone to experimental. Only an incremental step. Right now we don't know much about it at all, just an expedition name.

[icy citrus]

No

[icy citrus]

That they are getting things lined up and making sure it is ready to go

[unborn bough]

Here. :3 it's Apple apple apple and the update size may be 2.5 gb.

[merry estuary]

Apple apple apple

[lean lance]

it's been found the experimental one was 9 gigabytes

[novel summit]

Where did you get 2.5 gb

[unborn bough]

Good, good!

Some changes in the database size

[novel summit]

And where did you get apple apple apple from

[velvet cypress]

...crucible? crab apple? they're green, right?...

[unborn bough]

I said that, but the Bejryy branch of this steamDB manifest has an encrypted DB sub-branch with apple logo.

[wind panther]

Yeah, that's been there for a while

Unused I believe

[unborn bough]

It is used, there were some connected changes

Bejryy itself is a Caesar encryption

[wind panther]

It still shows no size on the depots page

[unborn bough]

Decrypts to Orwell, which is famous for 1984, Macintosh ad in 1984 also had some stuff from the book... so in and so forth.

[sour fossil]

There is some more stuff that's been found on the modding Discord

Some expedition related crafing recipies

[unborn bough]

I do wonder where did they find 9 gb worth of expedition files

[sour fossil]

Im not posting details, I would need to ask for permission lol

[unborn bough]

Too much spoiler. Best if it's not posted.

[novel summit]

Can you tell us if the update is worth being hyped for?

[unborn bough]

Although datamined info goes here so I don't think it'll be an issue

Just like those new space station images

[velvet cypress]

a crucible melts metal, too, right? if it's old, it could be punned into granny smith...or crab apple. continues its onesided rant

[novel summit]

Nvm I see the recipes

[glad kernel]

So will the new expedition really be related to food?

[novel summit]

I don't think the update is launching today tbh

[unborn bough]

Lol! Apple pie

I have no idea

[normal orchid]

Maybe the colour of the apples is important

[sour fossil]

Expedition 10 crafting recipies, courtesty of That Bomber Boi over at NMS modding Discord

[glad kernel]

wow

[unborn bough]

Robot

Ooooooooo

Ooooooooooo

[quaint mason]

Anonymous leak: apple planets, apple trees, apple ships, apples, apple food

[unborn bough]

The robot parts we've been seeing

In dissonant camps

[sour fossil]

JESSE WE NEED TO COOK UP A ROBOT

[quaint mason]

Wow fascinating

[sour fossil]

Also note 5 expedition specific Atlas Seeds

[novel summit]

Cause the game isn't on sale and I think we would've had it public by now

[unborn bough]

If it does end up in the expedition I am sure we will have a closure to corruption

[quaint mason]

We are building a robot

[sour fossil]

These are not the standard ones from the Atlas Path

[unborn bough]

They may have the same icon but they're different for sure

Atlas + robots + corruption...

We will make a Korvax

[quaint mason]

Omg is that head an auto phage head??

[late tusk]

God i hope we can use that robot body for our character

[quaint mason]

Maybe we can find out about the autophages and the atlas

[icy citrus]

Making a robo buddy

[novel summit]

What if we build a robot and send it through a corrupted portal into the void to study it, then leading into a big update 2 months down the line

[quaint mason]

And have a new appearance as an autophage

[late tusk]

Robot body players when

[gloomy isle]

Maybe the update after this expedition will introduce the autophages as a full new race

[quaint mason]

Yes

It’s a very similar looking head

[snow stream]

I’m hoping and praying

[lean lance]

ROBO PAL

[quaint mason]

With 3 eyes

[unborn bough]

Maybe the expedition itself will be to find from 12 to 16 to complete the robot body because the entire code contains important memories

[lean lance]

ROBO HOMIE

ROBIE

[unborn bough]

The missing link

[normal orchid]

I just want to rehab and rebuild a dead system into a viable economy, complete ownership of it. Is that so wrong?

[glad kernel]

can't wait anymore

[velvet cypress]

that seems compelling
12 13 14 15 16--5 codes, 5 seeds

[quaint mason]

More proof of autophage is the soul and core require corrupted materials

And they are on corrupted planets

[velvet cypress]

5 phases in an expedition, too

[unborn bough]

Yup

And 5 pieces too

Well! 6

[velvet cypress]

5 and qualia, i guess

[unborn bough]

Hehe, I'm excited to play a new expedition more than anything

[lean lance]

I wanna see what the reward is

[wind panther]

Definitely IOS, 7 new jetpack trails, corrupted portals, expedition 10. Looking through the file diff now

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if corrupted portals are just for the expedition or if they're independant

[wind panther]

Something about a robotheadcampsite

[glad kernel]

7 new jetpack trails?

[wind panther]

6 for the community research rewards + corrupted

Some expedition posters, something about sentinel crystal and sentinel crystal drone building parts

[sour fossil]

Oh god corrupted drone pet

Please for fucks sake HG

Give us something other than pets and capes

[icy citrus]

What, like an all new ship type?

Doubtful

😛

[wind panther]

I don't think it's a pet

I think just a placeable

[velvet cypress]

The gek paw curls
Pets can now wear capes

[sour fossil]

Customization items like armor pieces, maybe an exclusive Multitool?

We had ships, why not MT

Make it all nice white and yellow

No, Im not projecting, thank you very much

[glad kernel]

I want the pets lol

[late tusk]

Let me mix amd match armor

[quaint mason]

Same I want the drone in particular

[rustic haven]

Or somehow end up on the korvak forge planet (though they never have done a custom planet as far back as I can remember)

[uncut harness]

Any check to see if other stuff was added, or is it just the Mac update for now?

[gloomy isle]

There's probably some small bugfixing stuff

I'd think so at least

[latent sentinel]

it says public was updated but my game isnt updating yet :/

idk if it takes time to push to all devices tho

[rough copper]

if you're on experimental

switch to public

the build was only pushed to public for some reason

[latent sentinel]

i've never been on experimental before

[rough copper]

then restart steam

[latent sentinel]

is anyone else's games updating?

[vestal barn]

same

[latent sentinel]

i have

[rough copper]

check integrity of game files

it will update

[mental socket]

hmm hmm, corrupted portals?

[latent sentinel]

ah, its just mac for now

maybe its public just for mac

[rough copper]

my game updated lol

[uncut harness]

Yeah that seems to be the case, fine with me. Maybe we'll see something later, or the next update will be more interesting

Very happy a lot of people are going to have the chance to play NMS

[mental socket]

any in-game notes?

[rough copper]

could be just to add the cross save

let me check

[uncut harness]

I updated and didn't get any notes

[mental socket]

sadly it's just cross save between Mac and PC. Would've loved some console/PC cross save

[rustic haven]

His tweet did say "very near future" or something like that, so maybe 2-3 weeks if we are lucky

[rough copper]

nope no notes

[sand karma]

Honestly, makes sense that it'd just be Mac release

As expected tbh 😄

[uncut harness]

Right

I think the emoji was pretty clear this time

[sand karma]

Yeah, think they deliberately kept expectations low there

Not that people weren't still coming up with insane things, but that's not on HG 😛

[latent sentinel]

i think that next week we'll get smth

[uncut harness]

whats happened?

[latent sentinel]

bc of seans tweet saying the VERY near future

[gloomy isle]

Yeah expedition v soon

And it looks cool af

[rustic haven]

Likely if apple vr launches a port to that along with expedition highlighting interceptors update

[quaint mason]

Surely they will add content/expidtion soon though

[latent sentinel]

how big was it, maybe it was a tiny file and i didnt notice or smth

[sand karma]

Which? 👀

[rustic haven]

May be why there was none previously, holding off the expedition so new users can play it

[rough copper]

well I switched back from experimental so it was 9.5gb

I'

[latent sentinel]

right

[sand karma]

We need Gunther to do a file size irrelvant disclaimer again 😄

[rough copper]

m not sure what kind of shenanigans they're up to with this

[sand karma]

"A little something" apparently 😛

[latent sentinel]

nah i just meant in terms of like if it was a small file, my game might have updated without me seeing

Yeah small update

[gloomy isle]

Corruption themed!

[sand karma]

Nice! 😄

[rough copper]

it would still show the download in the downloads tab though because the build changed

[rustic haven]

But hey, Metcalfe and it seems bug fixes for performance

[gloomy isle]

Yeah I'm hoping they've done a bit of fixing for the port

[faint kayak]

I just hope theres some multiplayer optimization cause of the mac update

[fierce bobcat]

hoping the Anomaly doesn't crash the game anymore

[faint kayak]

they say you can get 30+ people in a system but you can't go above 12 without people getting kicked from the instance

[fierce bobcat]

the game crashes when you enter the anomaly with MP enabled (weaker hardware)

[faint kayak]

I had a friend on xbox who crashes every 2mins

it's really fucked

[gloomy isle]

Guess we'll have to wait for patch notes later to know for sure

[fierce bobcat]

that also happens to me because my laptop stinky

though instead of 2mins, it's at random

[gloomy isle]

On series x and ps5 there's a memory leak too

There were two on series x for a long time lol

It's a bit better now but still not fantastic

[faint kayak]

hg should focus thier updates more on optimization

cause the game is unplayable for some

[mental socket]

@wind panther IOS confirmed!?!? Mobile UI and controls where? xD
I am curious to see how NMS would transfer onto a mobile platform 🤔

[mental socket]

quite curious indeed

So cross save is only PC/Mac. No significant save file format changes?

[wind panther]

PC-to-mac is what was listed in the YouTube text description. The save format changed, but not sure if other platforms will get it

[sour fossil]

Save format on PC changed?

[mental socket]

I still don't know how the heck will they monetize an IOS version.

[sand karma]

iPadOS was confirmed months ago alongside Mac. Just not when. 🙂

[wind panther]

defaultsavedata changed

[sour fossil]

As in the file structure, not the file format / extension that was .hg?

[wind panther]

right, won't decompile now

but still .hg

Pretty common occurence

[mental socket]

But people brushed it off as "accidental typo" or something because Sean never mentioned ios.

bleh

[spice gorge]

🎯

[dense quartz]

Same. It's a slideshow for me since Interceptor. Sometimes it hangs on one frame for 10 seconds

[sand karma]

It was in the press release from Apple though :3

[mental socket]

Yup yup. But when I mentioned it at the time, people would argument against me

[icy citrus]

Weird

Any iPads that have the M2 chips will be capable

[mental socket]

so just need to wait for tools to update. Not like they'd lock save files from external editing?

Which I wouldn't mind personally

[sour fossil]

From Steam forums:

Exp 9.2GB on 01/06 Patch....
Changes have been made to Harmonic camps:
1: No longer claim materials from scrap inside tent on right side
2: Answer #2 is no longer 9 (random)

Sentinel ships:
1: Bug to bypass processing brain has been patched (at least I can't get it to work anymore... and I used it extensively before the update)

Anyone able to verify those?

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2023851270024132438/B68994BE44DD480C60E375085D19D25270F1EADD/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

The fuck

[mental socket]

hmm?

[sand karma]

New steam public

Worth another reboot, I guess

[sour fossil]

Before it used to say Corrupted Sentinels, now Dissonance Detected

Why change the Sentinel activity label so that it doesn't mention Sentinels?

[rustic haven]

Who knows, may be something done along with a fix to noncorrupted corrupted planets or something

[brazen cedar]

possibly because corruption is a tag for a infested type planet

changing it to dissonance to relate tot he system description makes sense

[sand karma]

Evolving story and all that 😁

[gloomy isle]

Really hoping this leads into the summer update

[novel summit]

So... why did the public update again

[sand karma]

Just to keep us guessing 😁

[vestal barn]

I think it was experimental one 😂

I remember seeing experimental 9.19 GB

Public now same 9.19

[novel summit]

Wtf is going on

[sand karma]

Life

[rustic haven]

I'm assuming both mac and windows use the same overall code so now the windows version also has Mac supporting code that isn't used but is included so only one has to be updated with major concern of dealing with 2 versions

[tepid iris]

No patch notes yet right

[rustic haven]

Nope, just the stuff mentioned in the tweet, non pertaining to anything but Mac version

[novel summit]

What about the public branch that just updated

[rustic haven]

I'm not sure I understand, the public version is used for Mac and windows (i assume) so windows(or public) got the Mac changes

I'm assume public version is the windows version

[tepid iris]

Well the tweet says cross save so maybe that’s actually saves across pc - mac - consoles

[sand karma]

All the articles and clarifications say Mac to PC, I'm afraid

[tepid iris]

F

[rustic haven]

Yeah no way to do consoles likely as it utilizes different code for performance and gameplay

[novel summit]

My guess is Mac, Expedition that leads into big summer update in August

[sand karma]

That's my guess as well tbh

[novel summit]

I hope it's story heavy. Like this whole Expedition is just one big tease for the big summer update, having the ongoing story go crazy for the big update

[rustic haven]

My guess is expedition releases next week to be a frontrunner app of Apple vr headset that's likely announced at the conference

[novel summit]

Yeah

Welp nothing for us today I'm going to sleep

[sand karma]

As per above the Expedition apparently has to do with corruption, so that makes sense with it tying in to the ongoing story

[rustic haven]

My assumption is the expedition was held off until this launch so that it could give new players an introduction

[obsidian shuttle]

and also to give an opportunity for mac players to be able to start a new game while they have a good scenario

then it will act like a normal game, and they will have some items so it's easier for them

"Hi Mac Users, we welcome you"

[fierce bobcat]

low quality video of a gek waving at you

[obsidian shuttle]

responds to the low quality gek

[solar cairn]

Expeditions also give an abbreviated tutorial for new players

[tepid iris]

Did an expedition start or just found in the code ?

[velvet cypress]

No s10 yet, just hints

[obsidian shuttle]

yup, that is what I am talking about

IOS Icons

Twitter · Jun 1, 2023, 2:17 PM

But iOS probably means iPadOS

I think in code iPadOS is still iOS just called iPadOS for marketing in the front end

[mental socket]

hecce

heckie heck

they're actually doing it

[tepid iris]

From macOS with Apple Silicon to m1-m3 iPads is not too far off I guess technically

Does the switch version have touch controls ? Or only buttons and sticks ?

[severe sun]

does any game use switch touch?

[tepid iris]

No clue

[mental socket]

touch controls for UI navigation like steamdeck

[mental socket]

but nothing of this scale

with every action having their assigned touch button

[tepid iris]

I see

[glad kernel]

Are these ture? I prefer these icons to the old one.

[tepid iris]

No clue I just shared the tweet

[latent heath]

Touch controls no mans sky

[sand karma]

Isn't letting me copy the tweet, but same person as above (not mine)

Those look nice

[gusty stream]

This image in the website is very unusual. There's a tall gek player, a holograhic traveler with, im pretty sure, a head configuration that isnt available in customization...and theres the cape and backpack

Oh wait I see what they did there, the only time ive seen someone online with a visible cape was someone who save edited to have both on at once

[gloomy isle]

I've got a feeling that it might not be a good idea to go around rebuilding these autophages

[sand karma]

GLASS // GLASS // GLASS

[compact coyote]

NMS might be coming to IOS soon too

That would be awesome. I’d get it. Then I’d have NMS on my phone, computer, and PS5 lol

[solar cairn]

Sounds like a great time

Army of phages

Call it... A plague

[stuck ferry]

I wonder how well it runs on the apple silicon macs

If it is PS5 tier or maybe lower

[late tusk]

I want a new playable race

[spring hawk]

what about the new phages introduced in interceptor

[late tusk]

Those robot guys would be cool

[rigid socket]

Want to see what this robot like after we build it

[sand karma]

I hope we physically get one. Not just in inventory etc

[rigid socket]

Yea but we can’t find it in file right?

[sand karma]

Not yet, no

But final reward stuff etc also tends to be missing beforehand

[rigid socket]

Ok still got chance to get it lol

[eternal radish]

We'll be able to look like those humanoid Sentinels?

[sand karma]

Inventory items, I think, so could still go either way. Maybe it's just lore crafting items, maybe we'll fix or break one of these, become one, own one. No way to tell from the files yet. 😁

[solar cairn]

Can't wait

Maybe it will speak of Void Mother more

Like LayLaps

[sand karma]

Same. I'm hyped about the Void Mother lore stuff.

Interceptor was such a cool update IMO. Really enjoyed it.

[solar cairn]

It teased lore but the fan base EXPLODED with people interested in it

[gloomy isle]

It's super cool that they're actually delving into the lore more now

[novel summit]

The fact they said "announcements" for next update and not "announcement" sounds promising

[glass flare]

I dreamed last night that a new season of Waking Titan started today

[gloomy isle]

It definitely feels like this is gonna lead to something

We've never really had one update be a direct continuation of another before

Like at all, iirc

[gloomy isle]

Imagine how much attention that would get with the game being so liked now

[glass flare]

Huh, imagine if as part of the Apple AR/VR headset announcement, NMS had some AR component tied in to Waking Titan puzzles, like you had to go to real places to find objects. like a Pokemon Go kind of thing

[gloomy isle]

That'd be pretty cool

Was also thinking they could hide a lot of clues in an expedition or something

And have them lead to websites etc

[glass flare]

yeah that'd be cool. like Void Mother is breaching the boundaries of the simulation kind of angle

[gloomy isle]

Yeah exactly what I was thinking!

[sullen hornet]

odd to me how this update is 9 gigs just for apple support

[sullen hornet]

Walking AI companion maybe?

For the holographic one

[gusty stream]

That's something I've wanted personally but who knows.

[sullen hornet]

It seems really possible

Like very within the scope of the game

[glass flare]

well we know there's some new assets in this update. maybe they included the space stations too? I haven't been following the datamining closely

[sullen hornet]

i would love to see what comes out of the datamining

[neat plume]

Whats weird about a tall gek

[quasi niche]

lizard people

[slow hatch]

Lizzid Peeple!

[gloomy isle]

Since the expeditions sometimes test features before they're in a big update, an ai companion bot could be very very cool ngl

Imagine if the ai companion could fly with you squadron style too

[spice gorge]

I hear it runs pretty well on base M1 8GB fanless Mac. Haven't been able to take time to try it on my Macs, but it's downloaded!

[late tusk]

id rather have the robot thing as appearance than a AI

we need more armor :(

[glass flare]

AI companion? was that something datamined

[sour fossil]

I think folks here are just discussing the promotional image poster earlier

I wouldn't pay too much attention to it, it's a promo art - it was made to look cool / inviting

Doesn't necesarilly need to represent the actual state of the game

Remember how solar helmet was featured in some release log images?

Or how we got a sneak peak of freighter trails and fancy asteroids before Endurance launched?

[gloomy isle]

It's more about the expedition craftables I think

[sour fossil]

Oh the robot parts

Yeah sorry my bad

[gloomy isle]

Yeah those. I'm still leaning on customisation though, tbh

[solar cairn]

Inventory items that looked like autophage parts

[glass flare]

interesting, must've missed that in all the activity earlier

[sour fossil]

#nms-spoilers message

Found by a member of the modding discord, got permission to post here

Expedition 10 crafting recipies

[glass flare]

thanks!

[supple hollow]

I think they are only part of the expedition

[lean lance]

none know what the uhh

experimental was

that released at around 9

nvm I found it

[sullen hornet]

The appearance of a holographic player in the website blog post, combined with the data mined robot parts, tells me they have something to do with one another

Maybe you build a customizable robot companion? Huge speculation here as always

But having my own Data sounds kinda schweet

[glass flare]

Is this sphere a type of space event I haven't encountered before? Also I've never seen an asteroid shaped like that big one on the bottom left https://nmswp.azureedge.net/app/uploads/2023/06/No-Mans-Sky-Mac-Screen-3.png

[novel summit]

I have never seen that type of space event

[raven tundra]

Looks like it's a new one

[solar cairn]

I'm not familiar with that one

The asteroid I've seen I think. I'm not sure

Is there any text on the sphere?

[glass flare]

maybe it's one of the new space stations and they're being cheeky

hiding in plain sight lol

also these are weird cluster asteroids, I don't remember anything like this either

[quaint mason]

Ye

[raven tundra]

this model is a new one

[mental socket]

the weird tech thing there is just a rare space encounter, part of Synthesis update.

[glass flare]

gotcha, thanks. i assumed it was one I just hadn't seen

[mental socket]

Yeah. There's plenty of weirdness to them, although most do nothing

[mental socket]

Waypoint

the only weirdness I see are the holographic traveler and that one guy with cape

[glass flare]

yeah must be on the rarer side, I've never encountered one

[novel summit]

What about the dark ominous background for the "No Man's Sky Mac" wallpaper

[mental socket]

No idea. Spooki

[glass flare]

what wallpaper?

[mental socket]

I assume they mean the promotional image on mac trailer

[tight matrix]

9 gig update hopw the reveal is big

[novel summit]

Yeah. The switch one was bright, but Mac it's just dark

[novel summit]

What reveal?

[tight matrix]

next week

[novel summit]

The apple one?

[tight matrix]

yep

[gusty berry]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/13xxh6f/no_mans_sky_on_mac_new_jetpack_trails_ingame/?

too lazy to just post here so have this reddit post instead

https://imgur.com/a/qdWTQj4

have an imgur too

[glass flare]

neat

[solar cairn]

It didn't look like any from the datamined stuff, and there is also no entrance to it

[glass flare]

Azure said it was a space event they added in Synthesis

[solar cairn]

It's a VERY rare one then

Heckin neat

[glass flare]

yeah I've never come across it

[solar cairn]

This is a Dissonant trail it looks like. The same kind of purple

[solar cairn]

Neither have i

I usually remember all I've came across

The asteroid too, that I've seen

[sullen hornet]

That object appears on the nms fandom wiki in the space encounter page

i havent seen it, but its not new

on the wiki under that object/encounter it says "Ramifications: Drops Terrifying Sample (Keeping this item in your inventory may cause this Space Encounter to stalk you / keep occurring; pulling you out of pulse drive without the usual warning)."

a lot of the space encounters i havent seen have very interesting quirks...

[solar cairn]

How long before the "haunting" procs?

[sharp inlet]

Usually you have at least 60s of Pulse before the earliest you get yanked,but I havent tested that too extensively

After the first time, it seems random

[sand karma]

That's just the container / ironbound relic one, I think. https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Ironbound_Relic Edit: which people already mentioned above 😄

[gloomy isle]

@eternal radish here they are! It's only files though so it's not much to go off

#nms-spoilers message

[eternal radish]

Sounds exciting

[gloomy isle]

It sounds like it might be needed to activate a certain location or something

Kinda cool

[craggy sluice]

Wtf is that playergoo??

[icy citrus]

You goo @tame grotto? ^

[tame grotto]

lmao love it!

[alpine hare]

ok, so did atlas erase other species according to the sentenal nest?

[neat plume]

Not erase but just slowly started creating less species until every simulation had only gek vykeen and korvax

[alpine hare]

hmm, so the atlas makes species rather than getting rid of stuff it doesnt find orderly?

[solar cairn]

Not quite

It's a bit like memory corruption. It doesn't create it, simply because there isn't any more data stored for them

Even the Traveller is created from partially corrupted data

[alpine hare]

oooh

[analog breach]

The update on pc was about 9GB i think

[novel summit]

I think it was only 9Gb because they changed code, and has nothing to do with content

[sour fossil]

There are some new content pieces related to upcoming expedition

If you search this channel you will find them

[mental socket]

not to forget some files for an IOS version

[novel summit]

Well I know that, but I also know the expedition itself is not 9GB. The reason the update is so big is probably because of Mac.

I wish it was content, like a big update, but I don't see that happening this time around. Looks to be just a expedition.

[glad kernel]

I prefer this new jetpack trail. What about you guys?

[analog breach]

It seams so since whole game is less than 20GB

[analog breach]

But the update covers few things . Mac support, bugfixes, foundation under incoming update.

[unborn bough]

Wait... what?

[glad kernel]

[unborn bough]

Is this in game right now?

Or is it something for the future?

Or is it a mod?

[glad kernel]

Future

[spring hawk]

so datamined?

[unborn bough]

Okay, save editing here I come.

[spring hawk]

or hacked in

[unborn bough]

[glad kernel]

maybe, I got them from others.

@unborn bough@spring hawk #nms-spoilers message this

[spring hawk]

oho

very nice

[unborn bough]

Ooo

[quasi epoch]

i'm at the point where you have to choose between kill Artemis, or put it into a simulation. I killed him. but I wanted to know if there is an impact on the story with a different choice ?

[velvet cypress]

there is only one path, and that is the path that you take. but you can take any path.

[lethal bloom]

Sorry late but some people need to get off of og xb1 and PS4. Can't hold the game back forever for old hardware.

[slow hatch]

One, no console war stuff. Second, I'll switch if you buy me a PS5.

[surreal ruin]

No platform wars.

[glass flare]

3rd, the Interceptor update left all PS versions in kind of a bad performance state

[tame grotto]

There were definitely some remaining issues even after a few patches for that update, on multiple platforms including PS and Switch

[glass flare]

Fingers crossed that whatever they may be releasing next week has some bug fixes queued up~

[craggy sluice]

Is NMS coming to ios too? Ipads?

[glass flare]

I would be surprised if it never does. They will be able to reuse most of the engine code they built for the Mac version

[raw pecan]

No Mans Sky is a PC release and they've said they got a "surprising" number of people playing on the steam deck, enough that it actually kicked off their switch port work. I regret to inform you that "kicking off a huge portion of their players on older hardware so that the graphics can be PS5-tier-or-higher only" is literally never going to happen

[eternal radish]

iPad master race (just kidding)

[surreal ruin]

samsung fridge master race

[surreal ruin]

Not to mention they depend on accessibility. They don’t make money off of cosmetic stores or paid DLCs, so it’s not a good move to cut off existing platforms while people are still buying and playing the game on them. Every platform experiences issues post-update, so to the original point, I’d love an update focused on performance fixes and smoothing out errors. 😁

[eternal radish]

True. Many people probably cannot afford a PS5 or Xbox series X and cutting them off will mean losing quite a large portion of their player base.

Idk with the situation of the console shortage now

That's be a very bad thing for a small company such as Hello Games.

[late tusk]

speaking of

what happend to the solar helm?

it was never added officially

[crude sand]

Might be added in the future i hope, it looks dope

[late tusk]

i had it on one of my other saves

[crude sand]

I don’t save edit anymore otherwise i probably would haha but i hope they do it is odd they didn’t

[late tusk]

i save edit expedition items

[crude sand]

Honestly fair if i missed one i would

[late tusk]

i do it because i dont enjoy them and i just want the cosmetics

[crude sand]

Fair enough do you give em a go or just not interested?

[chrome ingot]

I always do the expeditions for fun.

I never actually care about the rewards.

The only reward I have ever actually cared for was the Utopia Speeder, because I love collecting ships.

[merry estuary]

What black hole? There are countless in the galaxies

h

[tame grotto]

Nice! Thank you and @grizzled apex for sharing!

[mental socket]

More on the audio

[unborn rain]

Horrifying

But also exciting :D

[mental socket]

Void mother aka. Abyss sees through whose eyes?

Sentinels, Station Cores?

Travelers?

[unborn rain]

Probably the creatures she infects with her nanites?

Which turn into the Abyssal horrors in the ocean

Maybe those eyes :o

[mental socket]

@wind panther Have any idea what the filenames for those audios are? I would sure love to know where they belong to

[light kindle]

is it just me or did i just score a new ship

[sonic rivet]

uh oh

[mental socket]

Yeeh. It definitely seems to relate to Abyss and world of glass in some way or another. But file names would reveal the true purpose

Heck. After listening those I can't help but feel like we're going to see some dark stuff in the coming months.

Or those might just be some audio files for Expedition 10 and the robot we're building

[sonic rivet]

that's what i think

[quaint mason]

Thats some creepy noises for robot building though

[mental socket]

if the robot will make those noises

idk

I really wish for something bigger

[quaint mason]

Yeah I think it is probably related to the void mother/abyss stuff

Idk much about them though actually lol

[wind panther]

Sorry I'm no good with audio files

[mental socket]

heckie

Welp. Time will tell what those are for!

[neat plume]

Do we know who wrote the base computer archives?

[simple whale]

I did

[hybrid pendant]

its not the robot doing those noise

its the void mother

[velvet cypress]

sorta...how spoilery do you want?

[neat plume]

Well I assume its Artemis but I've already played through the whole game

[hybrid pendant]

i guess we gonna finnaly have the new lore of the abyss soon with those new audio file

[velvet cypress]

could be her. could be any random Traveler, really

[hybrid pendant]

on the 1023132237 i can hear a ship or something warping out in the background

around the 6 second mark

looks like things are gonna get more creepy

[quaint mason]

Yes the sounds are very creepy

Sounds like something from a dramatic scene in a horror movie lol

[hybrid pendant]

it also reminds me of metroids

[gloomy isle]

This is cool af

[hybrid pendant]

metroids have the sorta same kind of scream

[gloomy isle]

Love it when devs do this

[hybrid pendant]

u were there for waking titan @gloomy isle ?

[gloomy isle]

Yeah

[neat plume]

Well the base computer archives talk about the writer creating Laylaps right?

In Greek mythology I belive Artemis created Laelaps

[hybrid pendant]

tbh i feel like interceptor teased us what was going to come

and it looks like we are close to see the next chapter

wwdc is tomorow?

[gloomy isle]

Summer update is definitely gonna be interesting

It's been ages since they've built stuff up in any way close to this

[solar cairn]

It's an interpretation, but there is also some saying it was a gift from Zeus.

[quaint mason]

I am curious about the autophages

[solar cairn]

It's also been hypothesized that Null was the base archive writer too

[hybrid pendant]

i dont expect it now

[cedar rover]

I'm finally catching up on these finds, this feels too well placed to be just an Expedition setup. Though I'm hesitant to think of a big summer update, I dunno why.

[hybrid pendant]

and i dont even expect an update

i expect just an expedition

or i just expect an announcement for apple like a release of nms on ipad and iphone

[solar cairn]

Expeditions also only really play to establish existing lore. Not discover new ones

[gloomy isle]

Nah I mean the summer update, not this expedition

[quaint mason]

Well the coming updates gotta be pretty big if hello games wants to fulfil their goal/hope of making 2023 a big year

[hybrid pendant]

tbh we need to stop with the summer update because its not gonna happen every year

waypoint and frontiers wasnt really summer updates like big ones for most people

soo the concept of big summer update has been dead ever since 2021

[solar cairn]

They were expedition + QoL fixes

Guess it depends on what "large" means to someone

[cedar rover]

While I agree with you, one could argue that things were setup in Interceptors so it would be establishing existing lore, in the context of an Expedition. We could see an Expedition enhance the lore that Interceptors put out and then, maybe something in the future?

I dunno, again these messages seems like something bigger than just an Expedition is happening.

[hybrid pendant]

yes but it doesnt mean we gonna get the big thing

it could be another part

to something bigger around august-october

[cedar rover]

I didn't say there was going to be anything, I merely implied this might be one part of a larger story.

[solar cairn]

They... were set up in interceptors. The expedition at most would just play on what we know, and better yet, generate more questions than answers.

[cedar rover]

I feel like this might be some kind of long running, slow burn type of story. Interceptors started us with the Void Mother, this upcoming Expedition might give us more questions about whatever it is.

[solar cairn]

Like... You said what I said, but in more words

[cedar rover]

Yeah, we had the same idea.

[hybrid pendant]

exactly yeah

[solar cairn]

And, they usually carefully do expeditions because they know new players in the future will not get immediate access to it's lore, and not everyone would play the expedition for one reason or another.

[cedar rover]

Right!

The message from the audio files intrigues me, as who's eyes is "she" seeing from? My intial thoughts were the Korvaks if we're talking about something currently existing but honestly, not a clue.

Unless more of the robots from the Harmonic Camps are still around and functional, well more functional then they currently are.

[solar cairn]

Well, considering Laylaps also knows of the Void Mother yet not being destroyed/corrupted.

[quaint mason]

I think we build an autophage but its unclear yet what said autophage will become

[cedar rover]

Oh I totally forgot about Laylaps!

[solar cairn]

I'm hedging a bet, she can "see" through all Sentinels, corrupted or not

[cedar rover]

There's an idea!

[solar cairn]

Just that the corrupted ones are more under the abyss' influence than normal

[quaint mason]

So I am being watched constantly through laylaps 😓

[solar cairn]

Oh don't worry. Telamon does it too

Your suit AI also lures things to you

[quaint mason]

What 😱

[solar cairn]

I could be wrong, or have hazey memory. But yeah. In the boundary failure logs I think it was mentioned that Telamon lures sentinels to you

[gloomy isle]

Tbh I thought they were both by far the biggest updates of the year

They're not as gigantic since the content is spread out more, but they were still the most important I'm pretty sure

Endurance too

[quaint mason]

And yet they warn us of the sentinel aggression lol

[solar cairn]

@uncut harness could verify that though

[cedar rover]

Catching up on some lore here regarding Korvak Prime. If the Void Mother and Korvak Prime are confirmed the same thing, then some of the convergence must still be out there.

Korvak Prime was destroyed or sieged by the invading Gek Empire for resources. Could the knowledge from the convergence live on in some future Korvak?

[solar cairn]

They are "forced" to

[quaint mason]

Ok

[rigid socket]

damn horror update again？I don’t like the abandon ships update

[solar cairn]

Korvax Prime. Void mother Was the First Convergence supposedly

[quaint mason]

I also saw somewhere how they talked about that they would protect the traveller at any cost, so thats a lie? Or I didn't read enough

[solar cairn]

But to further answer the Question.
"don't drink the water" directly came from the First Convergence. And some Korvax followed through and contaminated the Gek spawning pools

[solar cairn]

I'll read through them real quick

[quaint mason]

K

[solar cairn]

The knowledge, is a maybe. And how far the Abyss influences is also unknown

[cedar rover]

Right, so that was first convergence event and then the planet was destroyed. If the Void Mother is still making moves on the universe, could we put the status of Korvak Prime itself into question?

[solar cairn]

For instance, every Traveller you meet in space stations, should not exist, as said by Telamon

[solar cairn]

They aren't necessarily "in" the universe... But like background radiation

They are in the World of Glass. And what that is exactly, is only hypothetical

[cedar rover]

Right, I meant it more like in the theoretical making moves like dark matter is making moves and is around us.

[solar cairn]

And we see 3 forms that the abyss can take form in our instances

If we are, for the most part, it went insane from the pain and torture.

[late tusk]

not intrested in them at all

[cedar rover]

Man, I need to go over the lore again before this Expedition or even future update if it happens.

[solar cairn]

There is a datamined website I use for all the logs that isn't stored in game

And the AGR to understand what Atlas is. I'm still reading through that myself

The website isn't complete yet though

[cedar rover]

There's something interesting to think about, the relationship or lack there of from the ATLAS and the Void Mother.

[solar cairn]

I don't think the Atlas is aware of their existence

I have my own guesses as to what extent the Atlas knows or not

[cedar rover]

I could totally see the ATLAS not knowing the Void Mother exists and if it does, it wouldn't say anything.

[solar cairn]

It would.

Atlas' goal is to see what happens after 16.

And the void mother (in some logs) see past 16 to a 19

[cedar rover]

Oh, I must've never seen that dialogue before, I knew the ATLAS wanted to see past 16 but I didn't know the Void Mother could do it.

[glass flare]

IMO whatever is coming "very soon" will be more than just an expedition. otherwise they would have announced the expedition when they released the Mac version. could be another platform announcement, could be a big content update + an expedition

[solar cairn]

Hope so

We still are waiting to see what becomes of those datamined stations

[cedar rover]

Those stations look SO COOL

[solar cairn]

and my damn solar helmet

[glass flare]

yeah the stations had me hyped. anxious to see what the new insides look like

[solar cairn]

Saaame

Really want them to be a player base capable too

[glass flare]

I don't think they'd let you own a station, but maybe rent an apartment there or something

[solar cairn]

well wat are the station overrides for

[glass flare]

for trolling us

[cedar rover]

I hope we still maintain the current designs for the stations somewhere. Probably the abandoned stations will still maintain the original station look and the first layout.

[solar cairn]

How dare. First the solar helmet, now this!?

If abandoned stations become atalantieum-ified. That would be massive, lore wise

[cedar rover]

Solar Helmet, wasn't that one that was shown on the website but never given out?

[solar cairn]

Yes. About 3-4 times

[cedar rover]

Oh, 4 times! Wow!

[glass flare]

It could be cool if abandoned stations became new stations, but were instead basically creepy dungeon instances with monsters and loot. but i agree that it'd be nice to preserve the old look somewhere

[cedar rover]

Solar Helmet really in limbo

[solar cairn]

It's promotion bait, but still ... I want

[cedar rover]

Yeah, just to keep the history of the game, somewhere.

[solar cairn]

If it was turned into a dungeon, you'd still have people complain the combat is too easy

[cedar rover]

I never thought of stations serving as dungeons, that would be interesting for sure.

[glass flare]

they would have to have a lot more rooms internally of course, like the derelict freighters

hopefully those new stations have a lot more going on inside

[solar cairn]

But a simple exterior... Like derelict freighters

[cedar rover]

All I want is for the new station interiors to be a tad wider so that ships don't clip through the catwalk.

[solar cairn]

Nah, gotta break the illusion somehow

[cedar rover]

I introduced a friend to NMS and they go "Did that ship clip through the ceiling?" I reply "Just NMS things."

[glass flare]

i'm pretty sure they are wider, though who knows, maybe they'll still clip

[solar cairn]

They probably will

Some of those haulers are w i d e

[glass flare]

I would just like ship landing gear to actually touch the floor instead of hovering a few inches above

[solar cairn]

Or clip in landing pads

[cedar rover]

YES! Things just slightly hover off the ground or clip through the landing pad.

[solar cairn]

But most of all... Please fix the explorer hopper body trails

They are off center, and have been for 5 years

[cedar rover]

Wait.

They're off centered? Now that you pointed that out to me, I'm not going to look at my Explorer the same way.

[solar cairn]

Just the hopper body. Not the Dyson body

[cedar rover]

I need to see this, as the Hopper body is what I use the most with Explorers. When I first starting playing after ATLAS Rises, I call them the grasshopper ships.

[solar cairn]

The not vertical ones

[cedar rover]

Yeah, these just using an example I found.

Tall Explorers look weird to me.

[solar cairn]

Yep. Anyway. These aren't spoilers anymore

Right

Ya know, I'm more interested now in what's going on now that I've refreshed myself on the lore a little bit! Can't wait to see what happens next!

[neat plume]

Well given all the Greek names its a possibility that they might mirror that

[solar cairn]

Maybe

[gloomy isle]

I'm thinking an expedition that leads to some sort of announcement or tease for something bigger

But I'm 100% convinced that whatever this leads to will be to do with stuff we've seen in Interceptor

I still think it'll be quite significant; we've not had a proper lore/ story thread that's continued between updates like this

[novel summit]

They really need to keep this trend going for the games life cycle. Give it a ongoing story and every update happens is Canon to the in game lore instead of just "Heres a update we made."

They even gave the game a villain. I really hope they keep this up because they have been killing it lately.

[solar cairn]

We don't know if they are a villain yet

[merry estuary]

Maybe atlas is the villain

[cloud plume]

the bad buy should be -null-

[solar cairn]

Null is us tho

[cloud plume]

yea, but no

he's kind of special

he kinda broke the rules of the Atlas by being eternal and he tried to see everything there was to see

but at the end, the Atlas showed him that during his journey, he have created billions of other worlds

[cloud plume]

and he got mad

so he have a motive

he can be the bad guy

it would even make sense to me

[cloud plume]

the secret messages in the audio files?

[round perch]

Very secret

Apparently to be used in the next patch

[mental socket]

we're still missing the other apple emoji too

🍎🍏

I really wonder if they have something in store for this weeks WWDC

[cloud plume]

not another 10GB update please

[analog breach]

I dont care if its 50GB. As long as it will have content or rise performance by a bunch

[neat plume]

Probably content or the expedition to supplement the mac release

They had content to accompany the switch release and it was in the same update

Kinda weird they're doing it separately

[sour fossil]

My theory is that HG is tackling this release in two phases

Phase 1 being the phase where they introduce Mac players to the game, work on crossplay and squash major bugs with the new codebase

Phase 2 being the content phase, once the game has reached stable state and everyone is on the same footing, new content can be introduced

[merry estuary]

Sounds reasonable

[glass matrix]

Maybe the other apple means a flora update?

Only thing I can think of the apple relating to

Unless it's the update we get space siri for our ships

[merry estuary]

If we cant turn that shit off Im quitting

[glass matrix]

Lol

breathes
"Im sorry, I could'nt understand that, here's a google seach for insert random unrelated topic"

[merry estuary]

To that I say 🖕

[glass matrix]

Would be cool to be able to pilot frigates though

And lead them on expeditions

[cloud plume]

i car about not spending a week downloading an update

[latent heath]

i return to 600 messages my god lol

[mental socket]

downloading updates is the reality we need to accpet playing a living game

[latent heath]

is people still complainin about that huh

[mental socket]

apparently so

[neat plume]

I haven't played the update yet is there still the stutter when you leave a planet

[sour fossil]

Yes there still is

There is a way to get rid of it, requires a bit of manual labor to "build" a mod yourself

[glass matrix]

There's also mods for it on nexus mods

[sour fossil]

The mod has not been updated for the latest game version

This is what I meant by "build" the mod yourself

[late tusk]

what if...

the real villain in nms is us...

[keen topaz]

game on sale on steam

[neat plume]

Well low key kinda is

If the player is a copy of the creator and the creator left the atlas to die then theyre the reason the atlas is dying and tweaking out on everything in the simulations

[mental socket]

interesting

playstation sale as well

-50% on both

[keen topaz]

So NMS on june 11?

Xbox

[mental socket]

seems quite like a usual pre update sale for me

[keen topaz]

About that i wish we had a playstation helmet too

and also other consoles

[compact coyote]

Hey guys I’m out of the loop. What’s up with the mysterious audio files?

[unborn rain]

It was data mined in the 9gb update for the Mac release, it had a bunch of stuff like jetpack trails, and stuff about the 10th expedition too :O@compact coyote

[compact coyote]

That is nuts

I wonder what the spectrogram means tho

[raven quail]

Who’s “She” and who’s “They”

I don’t think there are any female characters in NMS so far, none that are confirmed at least

[merry estuary]

Where does she and they appear?

[raven quail]

“She sees through their eyes”, the spectragram image thing

[unborn rain]

The void mother is the "she"

[raven quail]

The who?

[dull abyss]

does their mean the sentinels?

[raven quail]

Probably not, the sentinels don’t really have “eyes”, they are drones, robots

[unborn rain]

The void mother was manifested when Korvax Prime was obliterated when the Gek first spawn attacked their planet

I believe I'm right on that

She's also referred to as "The Abyss"

[merry estuary]

Void mother sees through the sentinels eyes, makes perfect sense to me

[dull abyss]

I thought the void mother was the remnants of the obliterated korvax convergence

[merry estuary]

Yes

[dull abyss]

Phew

[raven quail]

Doesn’t the ATLAS see through the Sentinels? Or at least used to

[merry estuary]

No not exactly, it was meant to command them

[dull abyss]

The void mother also has ties to them

[unborn rain]

Void Mother apparently has similar abilities as Atlas

[dull abyss]

Are the corrupted sentinels a different faction?

[merry estuary]

Void mother is what corrupted them

[merry estuary]

Thats fucken creepy

[raven quail]

Where do you get this lore from?

[dull abyss]

Huh, why do normal sentinel pillars reference her then?

I can’t remember if they exist on corrupted sentinel worlds

[merry estuary]

Why wouldnt they? Telamon, Laylaps and Nada and Polo are also mentioned

[merry estuary]

Watching, deciphering, connecting the dots

[unborn rain]

There are sentinel pillars on corruption planets :o

[merry estuary]

Or do you mean the physical locations?

[merry estuary]

You sure?

[raven quail]

Aren’t Nada and Polo on the run from the Sentinels?

[merry estuary]

Sort of. Atlas knows where they are

[dull abyss]

Hmm, is the players laylaps the same one that was friends with a traveller?

[unborn rain]

Mhm, it's how I farm for Echo Locators

[merry estuary]

I cant answer that one sorry

[dull abyss]

I wonder if there’s time travel like shenanigans going on with that

[merry estuary]

Not time travel, but time shifts

[raven quail]

Yes, I mean physical locations. Where to you acquire the lore tidbits?

[dull abyss]

Good point

[merry estuary]

Pillars, infested buildings, that stuff

Others here know more about where to get it all

I dont usually care too much.

[raven quail]

Sentinel pillars or the word pillars

[merry estuary]

Sentinel pillars

Do you mean knowledge stones?

[unborn rain]

If you decript what the autophages say in Harmonic camps it spells out "Void Mother"

[dull abyss]

What does the traveller interaction where they seem to know your future mean?

That one just seems weird

[merry estuary]

Mind closing in a bit? Im not sure what you mean

[dull abyss]

I’ll look it up

[raven quail]

I have no idea what any of that means

[unborn rain]

Harmonic camps are where you find the new sentinel ships and weapons

[raven quail]

Oh, that’s why. I haven’t found a funny crystal planet yet

What’s an auto phage and how does one decipher it

[merry estuary]

Interceptor update brought us among other things harmonic camps that have autophages in them, that spell out a cryptic fragment. Place them together and you get above words
