nms-spoilers

[spark acorn]

yeah i got the staff

[late tusk]

How long did it take

[spark acorn]

about hour and a half but i was messing around for a bit of that

[late tusk]

Yay ok

Did you unlock any autophage stuff

[shrewd hinge]

I'm in a sentinel and it's not working with that either.

[spark acorn]

no but i know how to

[late tusk]

:o

Is it hard or annoying

[spark acorn]

also, "she is near"

no kinda, but im not done with the story yet so there might be easier ways

[late tusk]

Sounds good

No mans sky is now complete in my eyes

[small pier]

Welp, I ve got nothing ah well

Man I wish they made this more eligible because I can't figure it out.

[clear citrus]

the few systems ive been in were korvax race so that could be a requirement
like how the space station terminal only takes atlantideum in korvax systems

[spark acorn]

are you trying to start it?

I warped to a pirate korvax system and I started it

[vague oriole]

is the story a side quest like the previous updates or bigger

[spark acorn]

yes but bigger

[small pier]

Yes I'm trying to start it, Iv'e warped about 25 times now on a multitude of different system types and nothing

[shrewd hinge]

pirate korvax? The one I went to just now is pirate/dissonant/korvax and it still hasn't triggered. it DID trigger a heck of a pirate battle though and I'm completely useless against it in my current exploration ship lol

Poor civilians about to die

[spark acorn]

have you completed all the previous story stuff?

[latent heath]

ok so anyone figured how to trigger new questline?

[small pier]

yeppers Defenfiver

[spark acorn]

i didnt really do anything else other than blow up a pirate freighter

[small pier]

Was there any option to claim the Pirate Freighter?

[spark acorn]

No, I blew it up

maybe if you dont blow it up there could be the option

[small pier]

Damn I guess that's that

I disabled it and still nothing

[sterile schooner]

Warp into an Instability system

[small pier]

I've been warping into a ton of Dissonant Systems and nothing

[sterile schooner]

Instability System, not Dissonant

[small pier]

Does it say that next to the system name or something? Ive yet to see anything calling it INstability

[sterile schooner]

Yes, it says Instability instead of Dissonant

[latent heath]

ok given.... power rerouting HOW FAST WILL THE SPEEDER GO

[small pier]

Do you have a screenshot for it Milwaukee, I can't find anything called that

[errant socket]

lol i landed 50u away from an echo seed

nice

[small pier]

Yeah I dont know about Instability, still nothing, restarted my game a few times too

[spark acorn]

So i just finished all the new story

Its only about 90 minutes long if you speed through it but wow is it important

[mild scarab]

They did say it was gonna be pretty long, maybe it's just part 1?

[spark acorn]

perhaps, it does seem like there is more

[latent heath]

ok how tf does none of my ships have power rerouting panel lol

[spark acorn]

There is another easier way

[gusty berry]

anyone knows if the new hologram base object is readily available for building or what

[sterile schooner]

I was mistaken, that was the Region. 😳

[spark acorn]

yeah it costs 12 salvage data in the anomoly

[gusty berry]

no need to be consumerised then

[granite blaze]

are you supposed to install it or what? I don't have it anywhere

[rapid palm]

No luck on finding how to start the story... anyone got any tips? Someone mentioned instability systems, but either they're remarkably rare or I'm missing something

[spark acorn]

Lemme go see exactly what system it started in

[ebon spoke]

Instability systems aren't real

[surreal bluff]

I heard someone say warp in a sentinel ship

[rapid palm]

Because trying to find how to start this is actually starting to put me off the update.

[rapid palm]

I'll give that a try

[spark acorn]

oh that could be it

[surreal bluff]

To a dissonant system

[spark acorn]

Ok so it started when I warped to a korvax pirate system, in a sentinel ship, and I had all the previous story done

[ebon spoke]

I'd guess that it may be similar to The Settlers or Dreams Of The Deep in that it just triggers after a while

[spark acorn]

I mean some of the dialouge did kinda relate to me having a sentinel ship

[ebon spoke]

may require a minimum amount of the main story done

[clear citrus]

it could also trigger during pulsedrive

not just system warp

[spark acorn]

I wasnt pulse driving though

[rapid palm]

Bah, thought I had it then, but nope. Triggered Dreams of the Deep instead.

[gusty berry]

hey anyone knows at which point do you get the option to customise character as autophage

[spark acorn]

If you have the all construct parts you should already have it

[rapid palm]

Going to really suck if it requires the Atlas path done... I'm at the stage of that where I just feel it as tedious...lol

[latent heath]

oh this was related to sentinel ship/station to start it? o_0

[latent heath]

^

where the f is the multitool salvager lol

[spark acorn]

anomoly by the construct

[gusty berry]

you can put on ponchos with all races btw

[latent heath]

weeeeey

[gusty berry]

I'll have some more spoilers in a bit

[rapid palm]

Hmm... Tried docking, leaving ship, wandering station, getting back in... No luck.

[spark acorn]

Try warping to a new system in the ship

[rapid palm]

Tried that several times

[latent heath]

were u in sentinel ship dou?

[rapid palm]

Yes

[spark acorn]

So no matter what parts you make the staff out of its always c class

[carmine pollen]

Adorable and fantastic. The update I never knew I needed

[errant socket]

i love how they are implementing stuff thats kinda useless like space station core and terminal prime

[compact coyote]

What does the station core do now

[gusty berry]

I'm too lazy to post 15 pics here so Imma just link to my tweets if that's ok

[latent heath]

u need to be in dissonant system btw

[gusty berry]

https://fxtwitter.com/WSLTP/status/1694739112220119371

just click in for the rest cos there are 15

[clear citrus]

mine became a b-class

[gusty berry]

https://fxtwitter.com/WSLTP/status/1694739528760590392

[spark acorn]

oh guess its just rare to get higher classes

though i wonder if it depends on the terminal that its constructed at

[rapid palm]

Probably not the reason, but I'm going to try Euclid.

[tepid iris]

Spike grass.. is that Hello Games telling us to touch grass? 👀

[dense phoenix]

Am i technically a "Techpriest" now?

[gusty berry]

https://fxtwitter.com/WSLTP/status/1694740640410501508

[dense phoenix]

Also got this Necron artifact

[spark acorn]

Where did you get that from?

[carmine pollen]

I understood that reference 🤖

[dense phoenix]

It's 3 runic staff pieces from the camp vending machine

[gusty berry]

https://fxtwitter.com/WSLTP/status/1694741939373887542

where do I access a staff assembly table btw

[spark acorn]

Should be at the same place you bought the parts

[rapid palm]

Right, so tried warping to a dissonant system in Euclid this time, in an interceptor. Then tried docking etc.. Still no trigger.

[gusty berry]

I didn't buy the parts at a vanilla location so I dunno where the vanilla place is

[atomic pine]

Are you sure you're updated to the correct version?

[spark acorn]

where did you buy them from then

[rapid palm]

Yep

Was even able to get the new refiner and base thing.

[foggy sand]

is artemis fate a major thing i need to do for the storyline like does it change the ending

[icy citrus]

It changes some dialogue

[foggy sand]

so what do i pick

[icy citrus]

Whichever you think is right

[rapid palm]

Guess I'll have to work my way through Ghost in the Machine and see if that lets me trigger the new stuff.

[glad kernel]

What should I do to trigger the staff task?

[spark acorn]

So far it looks like you need to have other main story stuff complete, a sentinel ship and fly between korvax and or distontent systems

[rapid palm]

Honestly, this kind of stuff should be included in patch notes.

[proper stone]

Misssion reward?

[icy citrus]

Then I don't get to see everyone running around screaming how?

I need a bit of fun

[proper stone]

Usually quest starters are "pulse around", "warp around" or "talk to Nada"

[sterile schooner]

The new Staff weapon

[small geode]

So new robot head pet has hands that go with it?

[proper stone]

Yep, pztch notes say u get one from the mission. Or did u find it elsewhere?

[sterile schooner]

It was from the mission

[icy citrus]

How do you start the new missions?

[spark acorn]

we think it starts by this

[icy citrus]

What's other main story stuff? Past a certain point ? Everything?

[spark acorn]

not sure but someone who hadnt completed artemis wasnt getting it

[glad kernel]

How do you start the new missions?

😢

[manic spruce]

Might be my favorite staff combo with the little testing I’ve done

[icy citrus]

#nms-spoilers message

Unclear still

[manic spruce]

I’ll be interested to see how well it performs in comparison to sentinel and alien mt, this one has a L sc layout

[scenic flume]

For people who have had the new mission start, where did it start? In the starship pulsing around? On planet?

[spark acorn]

I started for me when I warped to a pirate korvax system in a sentinel ship with ALL other story stuff complete

[manic spruce]

Just warp to any system right?

[spark acorn]

dont know

thats just what did it for me

[manic spruce]

Worked for me, in an interceptor

You probably need an int

[scenic flume]

Thanks this is helpful. I'll try warping around

[uncut harness]

How do you get the autophage hoods

Anyone know when the expedition starts? I'm guessing Monday?

[spark acorn]

You buy them from autophage camps

[pure jungle]

Now im confused
I completed the new missions from the update and now it backtracked my atlas path after i completed it already.

[scenic flume]

I did warp to a pirate gek system and got the new pirate capital battle, but no start of my mission for the staff

[vague oriole]

do you need to be in the sentinel ship?

[spark acorn]

it looks like it

[sterile schooner]

Warp around to new systems

[manic spruce]

Can you buy/own pirate freighters?

[icy citrus]

Yeah, not working for most

[spark acorn]

I know no ones asking but to get the new multitool class (not the staff) you have to go to korvax monoliths and go to the dissonance terminal with 48 atlantium

[vague oriole]

oh i think i started it

I'm in a random korvax system in a fighter ship

[spark acorn]

how much of the story do you have done?

[vague oriole]

it just started for me

ah

I've finished the main story

wait the system is actually vykeen

it seems to just be random warping?

[scenic flume]

I've finished the main story too, but it hasn't come up for me.

[manic spruce]

@spark acorn huh? New mt class?

Like x class multi tool or what?

[sterile schooner]

I warped into a Normal system to trigger mine.
Some are saying the are prerequisite missions like the main story line. I do not know

I do have the main story line done fyi

[vague oriole]

i do own a sentinel ship btw, but am not using it

[icy citrus]

So, that's two with the story completed

3

[spark acorn]

atlandtid multitools they cost nanites to buy

[icy citrus]

Yes, I've seen this too - we are still flailing around

[vague oriole]

it was like the second system i warped to

i just got on

[manic spruce]

@spark acorn so is that above s class

[vague oriole]

definitely triggered by warp though

[frozen jetty]

Can someone help me I’ve done the missions but the new race is still locked for me please help

[spark acorn]

no its just another type of multitool

[vague oriole]

not pulse drive

[manic spruce]

@spark acorn oh, how good is it

[spark acorn]

not sure yet looks hella cool though

[mild scarab]

Is it just me or is the planet gen slightly different?

My bases ended up buried underground

And one of my ocean planets now has lakes and mountains

[spark acorn]

I just found an A class it has 1534.9 damage potential and 274.8 scanner range with only the base mining beam, boltcaster, and scanner

[dense briar]

Anyone unlock the new robot friends

[spark acorn]

yeah

[dense briar]

Are they tall or short?

[spark acorn]

The new companion is locked behind the expedition

both

[dense briar]

Cool

Ty

[spark acorn]

np

[dense briar]

Did it take long ?

[spark acorn]

id say about 90 minutes once i got it, but i already had all the materials necessary to make everything

[dense briar]

Do you know if they have their own planets?

[spark acorn]

they do not

[dense briar]

Ok thanks I'm at work so dying to play lol

[uncut harness]

The quest is really easy if you have the proper materials and blueprints

[dense briar]

I have a fresh save can you give me any examples of the items I'll need?

Or should I just do the expedition

[spark acorn]

superconductors a lot of atlantium, glass, living glass

definitly play in a main save

[spark acorn]

nice!

[sterile schooner]

Upgraded at a Multi-Tool upgrade station

[dense briar]

Oh wow....

[uncut harness]

The expedition isn’t live yet

[dense briar]

Do they do anything besides look awesome?

[spark acorn]

theyre alternate multitools

[dense briar]

Oh really? I figured it would be today bummer

[sterile schooner]

Still trying to figure that out

[spark acorn]

probably not till next week

[uncut harness]

The staves are modular so you can mix and match parts

[dense briar]

Wtf

I wonder how many different ones there are

[icy citrus]

Yooo

Don't forget the twitch drops

They are live

[spark acorn]

this many

[vague oriole]

btw how exactly do you do the power diverting thing

[dense briar]

Very very cool

I'll be a necron lord in no time

[icy citrus]

/ on Pc, up on dpad

[errant socket]

mine spawned s class i thought they all did that

[uncut harness]

you just got extremely lucky

[sterile schooner]

Lucky 💚

[errant socket]

thx ❤️ gonna scrap it anyway

i want to make a cooler looking one

doesnt that mean getting a max staff is completely rng?

[spark acorn]

no you can upgrade like a regular multitool

now that im done testing atlantid multi tools ill do some testing with staffs

[sterile schooner]

Where/how did you get the Atantid MTs?

[uncut harness]

Oh right how do you get the atlantid multi tools

[spark acorn]

korvax monoliths

you should be able to tell how to do it from there its pretty obviours

[errant socket]

are they good for dmg scan mining?

[spark acorn]

not sure yet

[rigid socket]

damn every lucky lol

[errant socket]

i hope they are the best at smthn

so i can have an excuse to have one

[spark acorn]

I posted one in #nms-multitools if you wanna take a look at one

[kind pond]

What’s the quickest way to the two new multi-tools?

I can’t even seem to find out how to jump start the new quests 😮

[spark acorn]

go to a korvax monolith and do the new quests

[kind pond]

The Korvax Monolith starts the quest?

[spark acorn]

no, korvax monoliths for atlantid multitools and the new quest for the staffs

[kind pond]

How can I start the new quest?

[spark acorn]

So far it looks like you need to have other main story stuff complete, maybe need a sentinel ship, maybe have the other dissonent quests done, maybe jump to korvax systems, maybe jump to a dissonent system we're not too sure yet

[vague oriole]

my best guess is having a sentinel ship and then just rng on jump

maybe even jumping from a dissonant system

[kind pond]

Hmm well I have a sentinel ship, I’ve also done the dissonant quest for the sentinel companion… I haven’t completed main story though.

[kind pond]

I will give this a try!

[vague oriole]

you probably need the main story

because nada and polo are involved

[kind pond]

I mean I have access to Nada and Polo in the Anomaly.

So far I’ve tried Atlas system warps, going to try Outlaw, Dissonant and Korvax as well.

[uncut harness]

Since you use the prime terminal for the quest I think you need to have the Artemis path complete

[kind pond]

What’s a prime terminal?

[uncut harness]

It’s a console that is located in a room of the anomaly it’s used in both the main story and this quest.

[icy citrus]

This is logical

[kind pond]

I just saved a freighter from a pirate freighter.

[spark acorn]

for those who want to build staffs, the staff parts you can buy differ from terminal to terminal

[uncut harness]

Does anyone know if the parts of the staff affect its stats or are they only cosmetic

[spark acorn]

unclear

yes they do

It looks like the head determines class and other stats just from the 2 i have

[uncut harness]

Is it a weapon?

It’s a Multitool

[spark acorn]

#nms-multitools message
all i did was switch between the 2 heads and these are the staffs i got

[uncut harness]

So all the same tech maybe

[spark acorn]

I also switched the backbone and nothing changed

[uncut harness]

So do the inventory slots for it change too?

[spark acorn]

yeah

[uncut harness]

Weird haha

[spark acorn]

I just switched the cores tho and nothing changes, so it looks like its just the head that matters

[uncut harness]

The bottom of the staff should effect walk speed, that just makes sense to me

[bold quail]

If you have positive faction with the new Outlaws faction, does attacking the new dreadnaught lower your faction rep with them?

[spark acorn]

It didnt for me

[bold quail]

Hrm - so it seems like the dreadnaught may be independent of the Outlaws faction

[uncut harness]

How difficult are the new dreadnaughts

[spark acorn]

pretty difficult

[uncut harness]

I found the sentinel freighter difficult last I played on permadeath

So if this is harder that'll be fun

[bold quail]

I've been waiting for a formal "pirate" faction to join, which is great that it exists now, but I don't want to be locked out of the dreadnaught content because I choose to be an Outlaw and no attack them because it'll lower my Outlaw faction.. 🙂

[uncut harness]

Because the outlaw faction is similar to the guilds I don’t think there is any way for you to drop in reputation with them

[bold quail]

Does it seem like the dreadnaught can attack your freighter specifically, or is it just attacking NPC capital ships?

Would be crazy if your freighter could be blown up now...

[uncut harness]

Did anyone else’s atlas path quest get reset after completing this autophage intro quest

[spark acorn]

not I

[icy citrus]

Atlas Path comes back all the time

[glad kernel]

The mission asked me to recycle a ship, and then I arrived at that place, there was no ship. After I reload game, still no.

😅

new update with new bug

[spark acorn]

What part of the mission?

[glad kernel]

Third staff mission

[mild scarab]

Bit of a shame that the new story is this short though

[mighty rampart]

how short? patch notes said hours

[spark acorn]

Is the quest give it scrapped ship parts worth a certain amount?

[glad kernel]

OK, I solve it

[rustic haven]

Has anyone found where to get the new multi-tools?

[spark acorn]

Yeah which ones

[rustic haven]

Atlantid multi tools

[spark acorn]

You find them in korvax monoliths

[rustic haven]

I just read the patch notes

im dumb lol

[glad kernel]

Just reload game after you receive the mission but before you take off and arrive the crash place.

[spark acorn]

#nms-multitools message

For a tutorial

[spark acorn]

weird

[glad kernel]

If I take off and arrrive crash place after I receive the mission, the crash ship will disappear. And reload will not work in this case.

[spark acorn]

did you just have to scrap it after?

[uncut harness]

Has anyone tried playing with a friend with different difficulty settings?

Wondering if that patch note lets me play Permadeath while my partner plays normal

[gusty berry]

Thread of every single staff part
https://fxtwitter.com/WSLTP/status/1694781438451707984

[pale hazel]

the MOMENT i stepped through that ||portal in the new autophage mission i had awakening ptsd||

[spark acorn]

lol

[uncut harness]

For the salvage a ship mission you can salvage any ship. It doesn’t have to be the one the game guides you to

[compact coyote]

That purple portal looks nice

Ok I’m in a dissonant system. What do I do to trigger the storyline

[spark acorn]

I didnt even know it pointed you to a ship because I already had the parts

Not really sure, prety sure you need to have the main story done

[vocal prism]

Anyone able to tell me how to start the new quest stuff? 😂

[cedar minnow]

Oh hell this story is so good

[cedar minnow]

Yup, I just grabbed a rando from a space station and salvaged that

Oh shit there's new additions to the Atlas path?!

[azure wind]

Wait, there are?

[cedar minnow]

Ah okay, not really but I got a new atlas station in Elkupalos

[sour fossil]

Some data about pirate freighter events, taken from file GCGAMEPLAYGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN

[sand karma]

Anyone else stuck on the third Autophage mission? Sending me to salvage a ship at an empty location without a ship. :3

[south leaf]

so where can i find the new multi tool scrapper?

[sand karma]

Anomaly, left at the big portal, where we build the robot in the Expedition

[south leaf]

thank

[sand karma]

I am admittedly a bit dissapointed with the staff just being multitools with a different skin. Rather than having an actual utility.

But the stuff with the autophages is pretty cool. 😁

[rustic haven]

I Really like the new multi tools 😄

[sand karma]

Oh yeah, those are much cooler than the staff tbh

[dusk tusk]

is it just me or this area of Anomaly has changed a bit?

(behind Helios stand)

[uncut harness]

If you are still stuck on this mission know that you can scrap any ship it doesn’t have to be the one the game guides you to

[dusk tusk]

meanwhile me being stuck at the start of it lol

[sand karma]

That's what I figured and did as well. Thanks!! 😁

[sand karma]

Oof

[vocal creek]

what classifies as the "main story", since theres multiple primary missions

because one of the requirements are "a trace of metal"

for the new mission line

[uncut harness]

A trace of metal is a story mission that you need a settlement unlocked to do. It would be found in the secondary missions section.

[vocal creek]

it isnt there, so id assume i already did it?

or is it a thing i have to manually start

[uncut harness]

It starts when your settlement is attacked by a Minotaur and some sentinels

[sour fossil]

Artemis path is the main story line

!faq-artemispath

[cloud jolt]

to view, enable Link Preview

<:NmsAtlas:972222451801010207> Artemis Path Missions

The main Storyline aka The Artemis Path missions are:

1. Awakenings
2. Alone Amidst the Stars
3. Ghosts in the Machine (requires progression in Expanding the Base secondary quest)
4. A Leap in the Dark
5. The First Traveller
6. Patterns in Time
7. 16 / 16
8. The Purge (16 warps in any direction; does not require travelling to the core)
9. New Beginnings

Do not reuse portals found via the storyline to prevent bugs.
New Beginnings will remain in your mission Log tab even after completion.

❓ For more in depth questions about these missions, ask in #nms-questions using spoiler tags, or in #nms-spoilers.

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

[ionic crane]

Can you do both missions in the Echoes chain where it splits? I assume so, but wanna make sure.

[uncut harness]

You have to do both

[ionic crane]

Okay, phew. Thank you!

[spark acorn]

So with some testing, info about staffs (Just what i've observed could be wrong) In no particular order:

• Each terminal has 2 random parts of each category
• The core and staff are purely cosmetic but the head changes the stats, class, and slots
• Color of staff changes depending on parts and maybe on terminal?
• The stats, class, and slots also change depending on the terminal
• Generally the ring head (the one you can craft) is the lowest tier out of all of them (doesn't mean you can't find it S-Class though
• All staffs come with preinstalled tech, the higher classes come with more
• All staffs usually come with about 2 broken slots
• There isn't a boost in using all staff parts of the same set
• Can be upgraded with everything a normal multitool can be
• All the heads cost 999 void motes
• All the cores cost 646 void motes
• All the bases cost 333 void motes

[candid lark]

Anyone know how you unlock the new race for character appearance modifier?

[opaque fulcrum]

It’s already there

[candid lark]

Its just a padlock on mine

indicating the race is locked still

[opaque fulcrum]

Huh

[uncut harness]

You need to have the full construct set to unlock it. If you did the singularity expedition then you already have that set.

[opaque fulcrum]

Ohhh

[shell knoll]

Ok, stupid question, how do i kick of the new storyline?

[opaque fulcrum]

||Did I seriously finish the whole autophage quest in an hour flat. I expected more||

It feels like I was ||left on a cliffhanger. Am I missing something or is that literally it. I met Atlas, they dumped me on a planet, talked to Nada. That’s the ending????||

[opaque fulcrum]

Requirements:
Have interceptor
Complete trace of metal
Jump between Korvax and dissonant system

I think

[uncut harness]

The quest is a small part of an overarching story. It’s main purpose was introducing the living autophages.

[opaque fulcrum]

I guess I’ll have to wait for part 4 for an actual ending

Which’ll probably be out in what, next year?

Either I progressed way too fast or there wasn’t enough

[uncut harness]

I’d say maybe sometime around December

There is a lot more lore to be found in the korvax monoliths

[rustic haven]

I agree, felt way too short for the advertised new story content

[rustic haven]

That is nice

[opaque fulcrum]

I was thinking|| it would be on the same level as the atlas or Artemis path|| but it’s not. It’s just another short quest line with a bit of lore

[rustic haven]

Alot of what had been said felt like it was obvious, except for the ||atlas being fake or something||

[opaque fulcrum]

||I was so excited and was really enjoying it and now I’m a bit disappointed. It’s like I was eating a meal and had my plate taken from me half way through||

[gusty stream]

||That is Nada's personal belief. Remember that they are a heretic||

[rustic haven]

Yeah

[opaque fulcrum]

||I wouldn’t take what Nada says at face value, same with Polo. They both bury their heads in the sand when it comes to the true nature of reality||

[rustic haven]

||the one exciting part was when it said we had cordinants to the new Atlantid, but it just being an escape pod||

[opaque fulcrum]

Yeah

[rustic haven]

Made me kinda sad though I get why they did it

[eternal radish]

Kind of a roast

[opaque fulcrum]

Nah

Traveller isn’t a dominant race is it

[uncut harness]

Our character is literally an anomaly so it makes sense

[eternal radish]

True tbh

But aren't we sentient? 😭😭😭 Lol

[opaque fulcrum]

Well it’s probably assuming that it’ll find one of the triad races, and anything else is ignored

Probably wasn’t built for edge cases like travellers

[eternal radish]

Let's find out who the hell is messing with me...

[azure fog]

For those doing the autophage missions how long on average does it take to get your first staff multi-tool?

[opaque fulcrum]

Good luck, safe journey Traveller

[uncut harness]

You build the staff throughout the quest which takes 1-2 hours depending on how prepared you are and what resources you have

[azure fog]

Okay thanks

[summer sparrow]

How do you start the new auto phage mission

[sand karma]

Have interceptor
Complete trace of metal
Jump systems

[uncut harness]

You also need the Artemis path done

[summer sparrow]

Oh ok thank you

[sand karma]

I was thinking what 16 could mean in terms of like real world / dev stuff, and why they'd choose 16 instead of any other number. Like simulation = AI generated stuff etc.

And then I realized it might be as easy as "16 minutes of fame" and being scared that NMS would dissapear with the pressure at launch 😛

This has made me want to feed Atlandeum to absolutely everything though.

[sour fossil]

No need for an Interceptor

Works in other ship types as well. I warped in a solar, others in exotics

[uncut harness]

You need to have obtained an interceptor though by completing that quest

[sand karma]

Oh, really? Cuz all the dialogue I had specifically referenced me being in a sentinel ship, or so it seems. 😄

[rustic haven]

I think 16 is more in terms of like 16 bits, relating to a computer

[sand karma]

Oh yeah that was were I stared before I wanted to really overthink it 😄

[dense phoenix]

Black or white?

[icy citrus]

I like the left

[spark acorn]

left looks cooler

[north locust]

Is there an expeditions discussion channel?

[spark acorn]

yeah but it isnt started yet so its not open

[sand karma]

White and gold is very High Republic Jedi. Love it.

[north locust]

Ah

[eternal radish]

After the nice convo we just had I don't want to leave them behind. I want to take them with me 😭

I consider them a fren

[sand karma]

Oh yeah, Purple > Red

[carmine pollen]

White

[dense phoenix]

[pale hazel]

oh yeaaah
i still need to make a right propa staff

also, big fan of the default head considering it goes spinny
might use that

[dense phoenix]

I love how this robe just radiates sagely wisdom

I'm still fruitlessly looking for a system that lets me make a yellow crystal staff

[dense phoenix]

Like this one

[mental socket]

autophage race is so wholesome. Never felt so welcomed when interacting with the other 3 races

autophages

[mental socket]

So the new robes and stuff work with traveller race too?

[dense phoenix]

Every race it seems
Hoods are Autophage only though

[zenith perch]

Hmm

Does phage come from bacteriaphage?

[indigo smelt]

What kind of weapon is a staff?

[zenith perch]

They're multi-tools

not sure how they look in first person but they have unique animations, and the way you move involves the staff in third person, very cool

Not something I'll use myself but they're really nice.

[indigo smelt]

Just like any "normal" MT?

[dense phoenix]

I love that the character holds it passively and doesn't unequip it

[eternal radish]

I know right? They are probably one of my favourite races now, along with the Korvax and Travellers.

[eternal radish]

Welp, seems as if my character is due for an outfit change haha

[zenith perch]

I hate that core thing consuming the entire bar of atlantideum in a single scan also

[dense phoenix]

I was hoping for a full mechanical race for a while and the Autophage already has a LOT of options
If you have the time to buy them all
Or you're impatient like me and unlock all

[zenith perch]

They're really expensive

Gonna be quite a grind unless void motes are easy to get

[proper stone]

ayo is it a bug or a new mission feature

(distorted base pics)

[compact coyote]

I gotta figure out how to trigger the storyyyyyyyyy

I’ve been trying for so long

[spark acorn]

Probably bug

[wise stratus]

How do I unlock the new race and stuff? How do I get started

[uncut harness]

Void motea are extremely easy to get from bounties. You get 400 per bounty and most bounties are kill 8 sentinels or repair and autophage

[opaque fulcrum]

I got a bunch of the void motes and then just duped them lol

[grand lava]

Why is it so hard to find all purple staff

Crystal ones

[dense phoenix]

I'm looking for yellow cyrastals and i've seen every other color
Purple, red, blue, orange

[uncut harness]

I keep getting green ones

[grand lava]

I’ve found one where I’m at

The yellows

Gimme sec

[zenith perch]

Colour of camp = colour of staff I've heard

[dense phoenix]

The camps have colors?

[gloomy isle]

How do I find the autophages?

[grand lava]

I don’t see anythin

[dense phoenix]

Which galaxy?

[grand lava]

I named it so it’s called “13th” so

[zenith perch]

So I've heard

[grand lava]

I don’t see anything tho

Unless I’m blind af

[uncut harness]

That’s the system which galaxy are you in like Euclid.

[grand lava]

Yeah it’s tht place

Euclid

[dense phoenix]

Aight
On my way

[zenith perch]

sorry no i'm wrong

staff colour is related to the parts used

[dense phoenix]

True, but also on the system so the only way to know is to try it out

[gloomy isle]

Is the quest a random chance to spawn?

[grand lava]

Green and purple EW

[gloomy isle]

I can't seem to start it

[thorn mango]

How do i get autophage and a staff

Im tryna do sum wizard stuff

[candid lark]

I'm stuck. Its saying to reach terminal prime, but theres zero indication of where it is. its not on my compass or the galaxy map

[uncut harness]

Terminal prime is in the anomaly

It’s a back room near the portal

[candid lark]

ah, thank you

[late tusk]

i really like these random missions

and i found out how to get the outfits :D

[rough depot]

Was the multi tool limit increased?

[dense phoenix]

Not recently
I had to exchange some of my oldest MTs

[candid lark]

I've done they who returned, come back to Nada, and the autophage race is still locked

I cannot access it at all

[supple hollow]

I think you need to unlock at least 1 head for them

[candid lark]

So how do you do that?

[supple hollow]

as heads are the only race exclusive item

[supple hollow]

go to more autophage camps and complete missions until you can afford one at the same terminal you can build staffs

[grand lava]

Hows the look?

🔥

My only problem is the cape is not under the robe

Looks kinda odd but I’ll still take it

[candid lark]

Thats approaching the look of whats her name from Europa in Destiny 2

[grand lava]

Exo Stranger

!!

[dull badge]

oh god, what does the last number mean

[bleak veldt]

I wish I could actually get the quest to start these look great

[grand lava]

I hope they do some emergency update because thats suck major ass and I’m so sorry nothing is happening t ur end ):

[cyan palm]

If someone could tell me what Nada says ||after the atlas bit in the new questline||, I'd appreciate it - my game glitched and just gave me her normal nothing-to-say speech and then checked off the objective

[bleak veldt]

Unfortunate but what can a guy do🤷‍♂️ lol I hope so too

[compact coyote]

I am dying to do this story

But I can’t apparently

[late tusk]

:) nomad

[torpid dawn]

Anyone have a clip of the staff multi tool being used?

[late tusk]

can you upgrade the staff with nanites?

or does it matter with what aprts

parts

[thorn mango]

How do you find autophage

[uncut harness]

You can upgrade the staff with nanites. The head of the staff influences its class and color

[upper gale]

Tusken Raider

[late tusk]

okay :)

so what is the best staff head?

[peak shale]

@young jay

https://youtu.be/APrLHGoRkI8?si=Uyz63ZyCXby5HCPX

That's how I found out

[young jay]

ah ok i see

his reactions were a lil bit under enthusiastic

[peak shale]

Yeah

[safe kiln]

hm, how many staff sets are there?

[late tusk]

i feel so bad ass

you know.

i think us crafting a staff (pretty much making our own multi tool) sets the stage for us making our own ships or regular multi tools

[spark acorn]

#nms-multitools message

[peak shale]

I'm still on 4.3 :c

[late tusk]

:(

you will get it soon i hope :)

[peak shale]

I hope

[unique vapor]

Godmode ship vs new freighter battle 🚀 💥

[peak shale]

:cc

[compact coyote]

Hey is the new story accessible in creative mode?

[molten karma]

Can pirate freighters enter any system so it feels dynamic or are they only located in pirate systems?

[late tusk]

any

[tender spindle]

How does one start the questline to get a staff?

[molten karma]

Do they just spawn in once or can they come anytime into a system? Also will they spawn into existing systems?

It'd be cool to see a war go on and I could join in while in my base.

[compact coyote]

Man this is frustrating. Hg needs to patch this, I haven’t been able to start the quest all day

[cedar rover]

I'm only know being able to get everything that I'm supposed to done. Just waiting for A Trace of Metal to pop.

[spark acorn]

Have you already completed the Artemis storyline and a trace of metal?

[compact coyote]

I haven’t on my laptop, but in my PS5 yes. I don’t have access to my PS5 though

That’s what’s frustrating

[spark acorn]

We're pretty sure that you have to do both of those in order to do the new stuff

[compact coyote]

That’s gonna take at least 2 days

[uncut harness]

I actually agree with this, a new ship series that you make out of parts makes sense in this context. Not all ships, but a ship would be good.

[spark acorn]

Given how different the staff is from normal multitools if they do add craftable ships I have a feeling that theyre going to be very unique

[knotty mountain]

are there any choices that matter in the new story? or is it all just flavor text?

[atomic pine]

Do I need to complete "The Purge" or "The Space Anomoly" to get the echos content to start?

[compact coyote]

Honestly. I’m pretty sure this is a bug. Once HG fixed it then we will all be able to have the story triggered

[fierce bobcat]

What is the Drone's purpose when you fix him? If it's just having a new fren alongside your pet then that is good enough fo me

[subtle gorge]

the ending was kind of abrupt but like, i really enjoyed what we got in terms of story. first time since Atlas Rises that the story didn't feel kind of disjointed or secondary to some gameplay thing

[flat jetty]

What the staffs do

[spark acorn]

Same as a normal multi tool

[flat jetty]

Can i shoot magic missile

[spark acorn]

Pretty much yeah

[flat jetty]

Hell ye

[noble geyser]

So is the ending point of the new content || giving Nada the Atlantideum? ||

[random patrol]

||that's the end of the autophage mission, yes||

[noble geyser]

Damn! Just as it was getting good!

[random patrol]

no idea if the upcoming expedition will continue the story (probably not)

[noble geyser]

I imagine it will but in a way that ultimately won't matter like how we got the robot in the last one

[random patrol]

by the way, is anyone else unable to recruit the new pirate frigates after destroying a pirate freighter?

i approached one like the game said to, the communicator didn't go off like it normally does with civilian frigates

[noble geyser]

I've not had a chance yet, only saw one Pirate Juggernaut and it ran away

[random patrol]

they're pretty tough if you're not prepared

[noble geyser]

It was mainly me accidentally going around to the front of the ship instead of the engines

[manic spruce]

Seems this is all the staff parts

5 sets of 3 that you can buy and 1 rogue recycled part

Still a lot of ways to customize

7 heads, 6 core and 6 pole

[fathom hawk]

That's all I got, too. Basically: ||I don't wanna hear it, then treated me like we never met before?||

[old hornet]

is the autophage trigger fucked up or am i missing something

[compact coyote]

Yeah it’s bugged atm

[bleak veldt]

I thought mine was bugged, but I found out I hadn’t completed the Trace of Metal quest. You get it from claiming a settlement and warping away a few times or so after you build the overseers office then they’ll send a distress call

[compact coyote]

I don’t think hg meant to have it like that, I think it’s a bug they’ll fix soon

[bleak veldt]

Your situation could be different but worth a try? If you haven’t done that mine worked as soon as I finished that quest

[bleak veldt]

Yeah hopefully they figure it out

[old hornet]

the minotaur and sentinel buddies are from traces of metal though right?

because i have thise and no incomplete missions

i'm salvaging a second interceptor

[latent heath]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjYDKq_WFTE well that is a lot of requirements lol

[gentle cipher]

What standing do you have to get to for the core of the staff in this quest?

[supple hollow]

I’m not sure on the exact standing but you can level it up by giving gifts to other constructs

[gentle cipher]

Ended up being 6 but now I think the quest is bugged. Have to do a 3rd task for the Autophage by repairing another lost one but when I talk to it, all I get is "The first...." and only option is leave

[dense phoenix]

At least you don't have to gift them unique items

[signal tulip]

WElp, I am at the portal step and I dunno if I should say atlas or wield the staff as a response

oh, its both

[cursive kernel]

Yeah it's both

I chose atlas second though

[mighty rampart]

Yes but it has the same requirements: needing to do all the prerequisite missions

Artemis path up till The Purge and A Trace of Metal

[vague oriole]

oh no not the ship building copium

[cursive kernel]

If you're being genuine the 19th minute has been mentioned before

[analog breach]

Can you get the pirate freighter? I didnt saw the entrance to land

[quaint mason]

Apparently not

[placid surge]

doesnt the settlers mission go on forever?

[late tusk]

for real

i was actually intrested for more D:

[haughty isle]

is the new expedition up or is it coming soon?

[analog breach]

Its Not up yet

[flat jetty]

How do i start new quests

I've done everything up to the last update

[placid surge]

can someone confirm, is the end of the artemis path ||The decision?||

[icy citrus]

The end is when your mission is New Beginnings

More than one decision to make 🙂

[gloomy isle]

I've been on a new save since I've not beat the story in ages, and that save got deleted lol

Set crafting to free and fuel to infinite so I can power through until I get to echoes

[latent heath]

u just need trace of metal which is sub mission of settlers not settlers itself

[placid surge]

tyty, im on patterns of time, do you know how long i have?

[placid surge]

ah tyy, i just finished that 20 seconds ago so thats a relief

[icy citrus]

2 more missions after that

[placid surge]

oh sweet

hopefully that should take like an hour then

well i dont know how long it will take

so im decently close to doing echoes

just have to figure out what the hell a harmonic camp is

im a returning player so i havent played since around the time endurance released

[placid surge]

||oml is the entire game set in a simulation?||

[open steeple]

||ye||

[flat jetty]

What are staffs best for

Weaponry?

Or mining

[dense phoenix]

Style

[buoyant zephyr]

Is there a graphic will all the staff options

[dusk tusk]

ATLAS: "there's only 3 dominant races, and one race of travellers. at all times."

Autophages: allow us to introduce ourselves - we've been here for the past forever

[open steeple]

I mean, technically, there used to be a bunch of different races before things started to break down and all the simulations converged

[dusk tusk]

oh yea true

[open steeple]

Still cool to think a different race has been hiding all this time tho

[carmine pollen]

Got more quest steps done this morning and started farming void motes so I can build a different staff. I can’t wait to play more later!

[open steeple]

I haven't completed A Taste of Metal yet

I thought I simply wouldn't, but it would appear I have no choice

[icy citrus]

#nms-spoilers message

[carmine pollen]

Oof. People who like to restart their game frequently are going to have a rough time with this one 😬

[icy citrus]

Taking credit for what we discovered eh

Frigging YouTubers

[placid surge]

||the atlas just asked if i wanted to die, what do the choices mean?||

||like what happens if i pick each one||

[buoyant zephyr]

Thank you

[icy citrus]

You do

In most of the chats with the Atlas you can pick anything you like

Besides the last one 🙂

[open steeple]

I was about to say the same thing

[placid surge]

omg

this game is insane

how is there more story after that interaction

[open steeple]

Which one?

[buoyant zephyr]

Can any race wear the new clothes

[open steeple]

If you're referring to the ||"Do you want to die"|| interaction, still a good bit I believe. If you're referring to the final interaction of the primary campaign, there still a good bit of story left to find, but it's more tucked away

Singularity actually had some cool stuff with it's story

[plain stag]

It’s a threat.

[placid surge]

yeah i was referring to the first pme

anyways im now on the purge mission

okay so

||how the hell do i reach the center of the galaxy?||

[open steeple]

Lots of black holes

Or a portal

Or if you're feeling real spicy, take some absolutelyGIGANTIC warps with a frieghter

[open steeple]

Or are you near the core and are wondering how to enter

[placid surge]

im about 700k LY away

[open steeple]

Finish the Atlas Path first, and maybe the Artemis path if you're feeling spicy

[carmine pollen]

Don’t forget to have warp fuel and HOLD the button for a few seconds when you get there instead of just pressing it.

[open steeple]

Reaching the end is something you should hold off on as long as you can

[placid surge]

oh really? why?

also dont i have to do it to do echoes?

[open steeple]

I believe it's the Artemis Path for Echos, not Atlas

[placid surge]

!faq echoes

[cloud jolt]

@placid surge Please use this command in #bot-spam.

[open steeple]

But because it's technically the end of the story. You can continue to do story stuff, but there are irreversible changes once you reach the end

[placid surge]

what sort of changes?

[latent heath]

yep

[latent heath]

ikr

[open steeple]

Depends on your final choice

I know we're in the spoiler chat but it's best if you experience the "end" of the game firsthand

[placid surge]

appreciate it, thanks for the help

gunter says all i need to do is do 16 warps and it finishes the purge quest or something

[open steeple]

The Artemis Path is actually kinda tear-jerking

[placid surge]

which part? ive seen like 3 different things you could be talking about

or it may be a part i havent seen yet

[open steeple]

The Artemis Path isn't a singular quest, but a quest line that should be listed in your menu

Have you met Apollo yet?

[placid surge]

i met apollo a long time ago

[open steeple]

What most recently happened to Artemis in your playthrough

[placid surge]

||i chose to let him die and be at peace||

[open steeple]

Okay, so you're pretty much at the end of the Artemis Path

Are you getting a new Portal Glyph with each jump?

[placid surge]

yep

[open steeple]

Looks like you're on track then

[placid surge]

so i dont have to head to the center?

[open steeple]

Not unless you want to

[placid surge]

thats a relief

i wont go yet as it sounds like it would change too much

i like my happy snowy planet life as it is for the time being

[open steeple]

I dont think any quest has "Reach the Center" as a requirement for it to start

[open steeple]

I miss my starting planet, it was also a snowy planet

[placid surge]

il give you the coords for my planet if you like? i wanted more people to live here with me

its a really nice system

also my planet has gold lakes, its really pretty

[open steeple]

It would be a mild bit annoying for me to get back to Euclid but I wouldn't mind that

Free to DM me

[placid surge]

awesome!

once ive finished getting these glyphs il head back home and send the coords to you

[latent heath]

am i tripping or is personal refiner mk 2 faster?=

[open steeple]

Time for a creative world to test

[sour fossil]

Personal Refiner MK1 has stats: Bonus 1, Level 3
PR MK2 has stats: Bonus 2, Level 4

Problem is we don't know how these values correspond to how refiner works

It should be possible to get adjacency bonus by putting these two next to each other

[open steeple]

Personal Refiner Mark 1 and 2 are mutually exclusive

[placid surge]

god bro i feel bad for null

[open steeple]

Are you currently watching them loose their sanity?

[placid surge]

i just finished the transmision with him at the 8th glyph

[open steeple]

I can't deny I feel bad for him too

[open steeple]

It does not appear to be faster in the short tests I've done

[gusty stream]

Has anything...unreleased been datamined for this update?

[open steeple]

The date for the next expo, I'm pretty sure

[placid surge]

so i did all the glyphs and went through the portal, thats not the end of the game right?

its counting down from 16

[open steeple]

No, it is not the end

[sterile schooner]

NMS never ends 😈

[open steeple]

I mean, technically there is a limit to the number of planets

It would just take a few billion years to map them all

[placid surge]

it says i must make my final choice, this isnt what you said where it permanantly changes my game?

cry out or leave

[sterile schooner]

Cry out!!!

[open steeple]

Cry out

[placid surge]

does any of these choices matter?

like submit or stand ground

[open steeple]

I don't think so?

[sterile schooner]

Rage!
No not really, as long as you don't leave

[placid surge]

one of my options is ||reset simulation|| are you sure this wont change my game at all?

[sterile schooner]

It's goig to take you to a new galaxy. Put a Base Computer down before you teleport back to Euclid. That's so you can get bck to your new galaxy

[open steeple]

You can always decide not to

[sterile schooner]

It will break all your stuff and dump you in a new galaxy

[open steeple]

And decide to reset later

[placid surge]

well that sucks

is resetting it the only way to complete the purge mission?

[sterile schooner]

You're a Traveler, that's what we do, travel to far away exotic places

😈

There is something out there...........just waiting.............for you

[gaunt beacon]

When’s the expedition….. 👀😂

[open steeple]

You can choose to refuse the Atlas and it completes the mission still

[cedar minnow]

NEVAR

[placid surge]

and i can still go to a new galaxy later?

[gaunt beacon]

🥲

[placid surge]

i want to explore beyond euclid one day but for the time being im happy exploring here

[open steeple]

Yes, but you actually have to reach the center

[placid surge]

oh thats fine, its a pretty cool journey and il see so much of the galaxy it should be fun

well so much yet so little

[sterile schooner]

Fear wins again 👿

[cedar minnow]

I got bored in Eissentam and used the same Portal glyph to get close to the center and then jump

[placid surge]

how can i travel to new places when theres so much travelling to do in euclid?

[open steeple]

There's literally like a trillion planets in Euclid

[sterile schooner]

256 galaxies

[placid surge]

and thats not an exaggerated number suprisingly

theres probably multiple trillions of planets in euclid

[cedar minnow]

It's quite literally impossible to explore the entire universe.

[placid surge]

decision made, im staying in euclid (for now)

[sterile schooner]

Some players never leave Euclid. If you're having fun, that's all that matters 😃

[open steeple]

Because of it's shear size or because some are impossible to get to?

[sterile schooner]

Size

[placid surge]

one day il join you in travelling the galaxies

[carmine pollen]

I left Euclid, explored a bit, then came back to it.

[placid surge]

but for now its best to stay in euclid

[open steeple]

It's impossible for one person, yeah, unless you're Null

[carmine pollen]

I still have a somewhere base in Eissentam though

[sterile schooner]

I'll be waiting with open arms and Starship doors 🚀

[cedar minnow]

Even -null- couldn't though. right? That was their punishment

[open steeple]

According to him he got pretty close over his eternity of life

And then we came along

[carmine pollen]

I want to visit Calypso in survival mode one day. Just to see if its really as bad/annoying as everyone says.

[sterile schooner]

He wanted to live forever so he could continue to explore. But you took his place

[open steeple]

Because the Atlas actually likes us for reasons beyond anyone but our understanding

[cedar minnow]

"Likes" is the wrong word

[open steeple]

Acknowledges?

[sterile schooner]

Maybe fears us

[cedar minnow]

I am curious why the achievement name for Galactic Core in Permadeath is "To Live Forever"

[cedar minnow]

Confused is too weak of a word but I think it's getting there

[sterile schooner]

You made it to the center of the Universe on Perma Death. What could possibly kill you now?

[cedar minnow]

Terrain/geometry glitching out?

Though I guess one probably even avoided that in permadeath

[sterile schooner]

In a way we saved the Atlas by resetting it. Otherwise it would have vanished

[open steeple]

Is reaching the center in permadeath actually that hard?

[cedar minnow]

Depends on whether you're speedrunning it or not

[sterile schooner]

No, PD is diffucult but in NMS nothing is truly hard

[cedar minnow]

It's pretty easy to get to the center of a galaxy using a Portal and the first glyph 12 times, but that feels a bit cheap

But if you're doing it the hard way, I'd imagine just lots of black holes and warp cores

[open steeple]

Dear God that would take so long

I kinda wish abandoned systems had some sort of cosmic horror threat that could attack you in your spaceship

Instead of a few infested planets

[cedar minnow]

I.... think I'm good

There is the cosmic horror anomaly which can damage you I think

[open steeple]

Only if you choose to attack it tho

[cedar minnow]

It's NMS, I shoot everything which looks like it might attack me with weird ancient magic beams

[open steeple]

I mean, I'd attack the giant space eye worm of I'd encountered the terrifyingly similar deeps sea eye worms first

I've jumped to about 7 different systems in the past few minutes and every signal one has been pirate controlled

[cedar minnow]

Following core path or doing it on purpose?

[open steeple]

Following the core path

[cedar minnow]

Huh, shit

that's wild

[open steeple]

This one I just got to is the first one in a while to not be an outlaw system

Seeing the words "Life-Incompatable Planet" and "Aggressive Sentinels" on my screen is somewhat scary

[cedar minnow]

That planet wants to kill you just because

[open steeple]

Atlas was angry the day it made that planet

[carmine pollen]

I’d love this

[open steeple]

I'm glad you get it!

[carmine pollen]

I still remember the first time I saw a biological horror and got bodied. Now I don’t shoot anything new that doesn’t attack me first. Unless I have a mission for it in which case…. loads boltcaster

[carmine pollen]

I’m always on board for more cosmic horror!

[open steeple]

I love taking missions to obliterate some monstrosities

[carmine pollen]

Same. Taking them out is easy now and also a good excuse to call in my mech to help.

[main nymph]

I'm at the point of the purge where I chose to head to the galaxy core, what's the quickest way there?

[uncut harness]

There should be a path on the galaxy map that gives you the quickest route to the core. Although the purge mission only requires you to do 16 jumps then your given portal cords that automatically take you to the core.

[compact coyote]

I’m gonna speed run the Artemis story today

So I can get to this thing

[uncut harness]

It’s honestly not that long if you know what you need to do for it

[compact coyote]

I’ve done it before Honestly

So I think speedrunning it wouldn’t be a problem

[late tusk]

We should beable to skip main story quests on new saves at this point

[compact coyote]

Yeah right??? We’re always forced to

[rocky heath]

so from what i understand, the Autophages are essentially minds that constructed bodies for themselves. they also seem to be related to the sentinel hive mind.

am i wrong?

[rapid palm]

So after all the different checks yesterday, I just finished the atlas storyline, and immediately upon warping to a korvax dissonant system, the new story came through. So I guess that's the confirmation that the Atlas storyline is indeed a prerequisite for this.

[digital summit]

I'm trying to make my first staff, and m,ade the first 2 parts. But can't seem to get the quest for the 3rd, I keep searching for new settlements and talking to everyone but been to maybe 5 now without any progress. DO you just keep visiting until you get it or am I missing a step?

[rustic haven]

maybe try reseting the quest using nearby things so that it resets which npc has it to one it leads you too

or did you jump again to the next system? its 1 part per system i think

[digital summit]

Do you know if you have to warp or can you use a gate to travel to another system?

[rustic haven]

i assume warp

[noble geyser]

Do we know how to get Juggernaut spawns?

[sour fossil]

The what spawns?

[flat jetty]

What's this electronic heart i have to go to present atlantideum

[sour fossil]

Various kinds of electronics devices

You activate the scanner and game tells you what to interact with

I think first is the simulation terminal at Space Anomaly

2nd is some planetary manufacturing facility, 3rd is space station core

[gusty stream]

||4th is the Atlas itself||

[short jolt]

Has anyone core-jumped since the update? Just jumped to Hyades and came to next to my ship?

Other times it's been a short walk to the ship, like when you start.

[sterile schooner]

The new Exosuit module

[compact coyote]

God damnit man it makes me sad when Artemis doesn’t know they’re long gone. They think they exist but not anymore

So sad

Always a sad story

“I just wanted to discover worlds. I wanted to find other travelers. I didn’t kzzt” - Artemis

[heady wyvern]

Solar Panel Power +69%

Nice.

[sterile schooner]

Artemis was a monster. He did very bad things just so he could explore

[heady wyvern]

Are you sure you're not talking about -null-?

[elfin hull]

yeah null is the one who abused the simulation and saw every world or something like that, didnt it?

[sterile schooner]

Opps 😳

[elfin hull]

artemis just used a portal if I remember correctly

[heady wyvern]

Artemis just used a portal and got lost in the [GLASS]

Or someother

[compact coyote]

Is Artemis stuck in the world of glass?

[heady wyvern]

Depends

[lofty breach]

Just arrived at the location to salvage the ship for the echoes quest to get some of the staff and its straight up just not here. Tried going to space and back, tried save reloading. Nothing. Am i missing something?

[elfin hull]

@heady wyvern are you a fellow no mans sky lore lover? I used to be a frequent on this discord a few years ago. the lore is my favorite part of this game, its so overlooked!

[heady wyvern]

Either they're dead (and, per previous theorizing, archived in the WoG), or stuck in the Korvax sim aboard the Anomaly.

Depends on your choice

[compact coyote]

I chose to have Artemis die

And I’m gonna do that again

Currently trying to speed through this story so I can play the new story

[elfin hull]

savage

[compact coyote]

Lol

[elfin hull]

really both choices are kinda savage tho so i dont blame u

its been a long time but i think the simulation artemis gets put into is one solar system

so its kinda a lame existence

[compact coyote]

I feel like it’s better for Artemis to die then be stuck in that thing forever

[elfin hull]

exactly

but when i played through the story the 1st time, I chose to stick Artemis in there because the simulations are said elsewhere in the lore to be colliding

so I figured one day she/it could come back

but thats not a guarantee

[compact coyote]

What did it say when you chose that?

[elfin hull]

I wish I could remember. last I played anything of the story was like 2019 😵‍💫 im running off fading memory...

but im surprised hello games hasnt really done anything with artemis since 2017

it could be interesting to explore that in the future

[noble geyser]

I think I'm caught up with the latest patch stuff now, fun few days

Oh wait no

Has anyone figured out how to divert power?

[tender spindle]

The Void Mother is rebuilding herself

[tender spindle]

/

[sterile schooner]

Top key on directional pad for PS5

[elfin hull]

I haven't been following the new lore but is void mother Loop16?

[tender spindle]

The void mother is Korvax's Prime's disembodied AI

[elfin hull]

Loop16 was an A.I./autophage-like thing created to run the simulation so... I'm wondering if they are the same thing

woah

okay yeah I gotta read this new stuff

[tender spindle]

And she's coming back according to some autophage dialogue I managed to translate

[elfin hull]

thats awesome

theyre setting something up

[tender spindle]

Thing is
I don't think her intentions are peaceful

[elfin hull]

oh no

is that why I imagine her as being Abyss-related?

lol

[tender spindle]

The corrupted sentinels are her doing

And the autophages seem to worship her, leading me to believe they may be divergent Korvax

[elfin hull]

ooooooohhh evil korvaxes are always fun after their lore is so peaceful most of the time

see thats interesting because back when I played, the only real mention of where the sentinels came from was in one of the atlas station visitations you do during the artemis quest. and it implied it was just the gradual degradation of the simulations systems that lead to the sentinels uprise. but I imagine theyve added more since then

which is what ive been missing

[elfin hull]

(when theyre not enslaved)

[tender spindle]

The sentinels are being turned against the atlas by void mommy

[elfin hull]

where was she first mentioned?

[tender spindle]

During the singularity expedition

I think

But this whole arc started in the sentinel update

[elfin hull]

yup that lines up

thats where i took a backseat

the last lore thing i expeirenced in real-time was adridane being a disguise for some evil entity or something like that

[tender spindle]

Some of the sentinel pillars may have some lore about her

[elfin hull]

I found my old message lol

2020? wowie

[elfin hull]

arent there pillars or some kind of structures in the living ship stuff

[tender spindle]

There's some korvax monoliths yeah

But those are records of the Korvax's attempts at creating living shells

...I'm sensing a theme here

You know

It's crazy to think the entire nms storyline takes place over the span of 16 minutes

For us it could be hours or even years, but to the Atlas...time is short

[elfin hull]

no fr I think about that often

even when I stepped back from the lore... I would be like "simulating time, huh?"

thats pretty insane

[tender spindle]

But we're getting off topic here

You think we'll actually be able to go to Korvax Prime if the Void Mother is truly repairing herself?

[elfin hull]

that would be so cool to do. fly amongst the rubble and uncover artifacts using ship mining systems

and see some massive computational system between all that

[tender spindle]

I just imagine it as an endless city of metal

[elfin hull]

can u imagine trench runs between that city

also using no man's sky and the word cities is giving me flashbacks

back then some people in this discord wanted cities so bad

I guess we got some form of that with settlements

[tender spindle]

Imagine if we'd have to destroy KP via trench run

That'd be sick

[elfin hull]

oh god not again

I just opened up a new tab to try to remember who destroyed korvax prime and remembered it was the gek

[tender spindle]

The First Spawn specifically

[elfin hull]

yup

good point

[tender spindle]

The tall bois

[elfin hull]

oh yeah I forgot their genetics were literally different

I was always more closely related to the waking titan stuff than the game lore. but I got into the game lore after waking titan

or during it, so I could make more informed theories

[tender spindle]

You think the First Spawn could return?

Cuz there are confirmed tall gek in current lore

[elfin hull]

oh god theyre confirmed

that would be awesome

[tender spindle]

You can even talk to one and your character observes he's taller than usual

[elfin hull]

yooo

[tender spindle]

Seriously tho we need humanoid enemies so bad

[elfin hull]

I do remember some talk in the lore about things from the past surfacing in the present due to time warping or something like that. maybe this is a byproduct of that

[tender spindle]

Imagine boarding a pirate dreadnought and killing the crew to capture it for yourself

[elfin hull]

they should do it at least with autophages if they wont with the main races

[tender spindle]

Yeah

[night helm]

Guess I was kinda right? :p

[tender spindle]

Frankly I don't trust them

[elfin hull]

I still havent met one

I havent loaded up the update

[tender spindle]

You can find em near drop pods sometimes

You gotta use an echo amplifier on your scanner tho

[elfin hull]

good to know...

right when I load up the update I'll start my hunt

hows the new story with them?

[elfin hull]

I remember back in Waking Titan, there was a web-page of a company specializing in recreating the voice of your loved ones, using AI technology. the company was named Echo-64 or something similar. and the fake advertisement they made for it was creepy as hell

[tender spindle]

I haven't finished the artemis path on my end yet so I can't start the questline yet

But I've started grinding rep on them

[elfin hull]

I guess looking back at waking titan, the suggestion was to the Korvax Echoes. but Im sure we were all thinking of that at the time. bunch of lore sleuths

[night helm]

That reminds moe of Live Forever As You Are Now

[elfin hull]

see I dont even know what that is, but the name tells me so much. and scares me so much

[night helm]

Yeah I’m no Nostradamus haha

[tender spindle]

I wonder if melee will see a rework

And if so will they let us have the legendary multi-sword

[night helm]

It’s a comedy thing about that kind of tech but like…obviously showing the flaws of our technology level. I recommend it, but I’m getting off topic.

No Man’s Sky is great!

[elfin hull]

oh hell yeah ill give it a look up

I mean NO MAN'S SKY IS AMAZING!!!

[elfin hull]

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT OF WHEN I SAW THE SPEAR!!!

[tender spindle]

Lightsaber baybeee

[elfin hull]

hello games should do more comics set in this gameworld

they did 1 for a special edition at the 2016 launch, and even a short story. but now that they've had like 7/8 years to fill it out more, and hired Greg Buchanan and co., I think its more apt now than before

[tender spindle]

I wanna do a no man's sky machinima one day

[elfin hull]

lol its so funny u mention that

I was watching kyle kulver so I could pick up the twitch drops

and one of the videos he made and was playing on stream is machinima for no mans sky and I was like this is actually a tremendous idea

so I would say go for it
