nms-spoilers

[tender spindle]

Yeah but I'd need and editor and a group and whatnot, which I can do

It'll take time tho

[sleek sparrow]

Anyone know whats gonna be in this expedition

anything robotic

[elfin hull]

I can edit and could add it to my college portfolio

I already have some videos too 😎

[tender spindle]

I'll consider it

[elfin hull]

sounds good just lmk

I might produce some content on my own if I fall further in love with the game again too!

gotta go home and play this new update..

[tender spindle]

Look for red or orange antennae

That's where you're likely to find autophages

Just remember to interact with said antennae or you can't see them

Unless of course you have an echo amplifier

Which I don't know how to get outside of Singularity

[elfin hull]

the twitch streams ive been watching are also confused about that

I appreciate the tip-off though!

I think someone said something about the new freighters dropping them?

[analog breach]

Only If you could place a sword or some kind of blade on the tip 🤔

[tender spindle]

Multibayonet

Or have a fire mode that turns your multitool into a lance

[elfin hull]

go full game of thrones HG. I want a korvax head on my spear

[tender spindle]

Nah

Vykeen skulls

SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE

[elfin hull]

see I would have said them or the gek, but I didnt want to be too grotesque

because I love the korvax

but seeing as you just said that

GEK HEAD ON A SPEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tender spindle]

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

[elfin hull]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

also I forgot the sentinels on a spear is an option too...

all of them except for laylaps of course

[tender spindle]

True

No

Especially Laylaps

[elfin hull]

oh

oh yeah

yeah

[tender spindle]

Laylaps rubs me the wrong way

[elfin hull]

yeah what they said

laylaps on a spear

[tender spindle]

They have some ulterior motives

And I don't vibe with that

[elfin hull]

better to snuff it out before it gets bad I suppose

the writer of the laylaps storyline reading this chat:

[polar plaza]

question, i did 'the purge' quest and i refused atlas's offer. did the story still get completed?

[amber star]

I dont Know how to mark spoilers, If you are scared to find smth out, you better dont continue to read this! Im left with the last Mission where you have to go to the centre but it just throws me somewhere and i cant get the quest done tf?

[dusk tusk]

i assume that something or someone has stabilized Atlas enough for Autophage to return

[errant socket]

An update has been made on the #NoMansSky Steam Internal branch 🚨

Twitter · Aug 25, 2023, 5:24 PM

Lore?

[polar plaza]

did u speak to the atlas?

and what does the quest objective in the log say?

[amber star]

Die säuberung its german I asume it means the purge

I spoke to it and the 16 stuff came

then I had to visit the centre but i just get thrown at the most far away point I ever been

So is the quest done? cause I want to do the new content and you need to have the main quest done

[polar plaza]

yep that's it. enjoy the galaxy.

u might have understood more if u looked at the text

[amber star]

I understood it but I thought i did smth wrong cause the quest doesnt dissapear

but still if thats it, my brain is fried

[cedar rover]

So I think the update has fully corrupted my current save, I went to go get the crashed ship for the Autophages and now my save wont even load properly.

Om man.

[amber star]

living ships are mostly normal ships but behave like living ships

mine is kinda messed up too

[compact coyote]

So I’m trying to speedrun the Artemis mission and a trace of metal. Right now in the Artemis mission I’m back at my ship which crashed after I went to the atlas

Halfway

[cedar rover]

Noice.

[flat jetty]

How do i find void mote store

Nvm

Got it

[knotty mountain]

has anyone been able to save edit the new expedition rewards yet? what is the construct egg?

[flat jetty]

Nvm it's just not revealing the type of camp with the terminal

How do i trade in my void motes

[thorny citrus]

Someone probably arlead did this, but I got tired of just seeing all that binary during the Echoes quest where I present atlantandium (sp), so I just did a basic google translate and input all the numbers. It came out as ||"she lives"||

[foggy oyster]

It says 3 different things, I believe.

[thorny citrus]

Oh cool! Mind telling me what the other 2 are? 😄

[foggy oyster]

Mother home was one of them.

She lives. Mother home. And I didn't translate the other one. I got excited and forgot. Lol

[thorny citrus]

Nice! I'm pretty excited about this story. I really hope somehow the void mother is able to fix the atlas so it doesn't crash 😦

[compact coyote]

Currently in patterns in time

Speeding through this

[plain stag]

HOW DID WE NOT NOTICE THIS? I THINK THEY LEAKED THE ROBOT RACE 1 MONTH EARLY https://youtu.be/ifQ0xDaBr8g?si=SzEnX2cqNLQXQRWr

Or am I just dumb

Cause that to me, looks like the robot race.

[tame grotto]

That's just the head and armour we got from last expedition

[plain stag]

Aaaaa

Damn

I think they teased it for us in the expedition tbh

[granite meteor]

So i got a settlement how do i start the "trace of metal" quest

[compact coyote]

My god i absolutely hate patterns in time

[late tusk]

i know the waking titan ARG is old as heck now but. after reading through it....

[pale hazel]

where on earth is Nada's twitter account

[late tusk]

holy shit this game is deep lmao

[compact coyote]

Jesus Christ I HATE PATTERNS IN TIME

THE STUPID MISSIONS

[late tusk]

i hate the main story ngl

ive completed it like 7 times and i still rush through it to get it done lol

[granite meteor]

Im jist trying to get trace of metal to start so i can do the new stuff xD

[elfin hull]

I love the ARG so much

I’ve studied it a lot, mainly when it was happening

It’s a crucial yet overlooked part of the lore

[spark acorn]

Has anyone datamined the update for new multi tool and tech stats yet

[compact coyote]

Almost at the End. 16/16

[late horizon]

How do you get more void motes? It says it's from doing missions for the new race and I have done like 30 or more and still only have 122 of them... I haven't gotten any...

Mt standing with them is at 8/9...

[spark acorn]

Are you getting the quest then immediately completing them, cause you have to wait a second for it to register otherwise you abandon it

[pallid pond]

Can I do the atlas path after completing new beginnings or do I have to do atlas path before it? Also how long does it take?

[late horizon]

How long do you need to wait?..

[broken pebble]

so, there's a new ship somewhere in this new update? If so, how does one go about getting it?

[spark acorn]

There isnt a new ship just a new ship to fight, you have to warp to a tier 3 combat or pirate system to find one and it's a random chance freighter battle

[compact coyote]

I’m at the purge!!

So close to being done now

[tender spindle]

Do you have to finish the purge?

[compact coyote]

I FINISHED IT

I think so yeah

[thorn mango]

So what do i do past paterns of time

Cause im seein stuff on if artemis is alive and they dead

[ocean inlet]

Basically the game is done

Do whatever

Any side missions definitely go for

But afterwards it's usually how rich, how powerful, or how good you can be in the universe of no man's sky.

[mental socket]

Plenty of missions to do. The Outlaws questline, Trace of Metal questline and the new long story for the autophages

[subtle gorge]

that was kind of the point , yea

[subtle gorge]

wouldn't say They Who Returned was particularly long?

[mental socket]

Well, relatively long compared to outlaws questline

[dense quartz]

Is there a lore reason why you have to complete A Trace of Metal before the new mission can start?

I can't recall how it's related to autophage.

[mighty rampart]

interceptor update

the new sentinels are related to the autophages

[dense quartz]

But how's that related to settlements?

[mental socket]

The sentinels attack the settlement since they don't like big civilizations. (lotsa lore stuff you can find about that)

Settlement only happens to be a trigger point for the questline. Not the main place of events

or even the focus of Trace of Metal

[hearty perch]

i did the quest and i cant construct my staff for some reason, every time i select it at the terminal it just plays the first msg over and over

anyone else encounter this bug?

[umbral bone]

Should i wipe the system, or leave it be in the atlas section?
I'm aiming to find the purge and the dreams of the deep missions.

I'll wipe it!

[analog breach]

Does every autophage syntesis terminal will give same staff parts per system or it changes per terminal?

[gilded tusk]

I think its just the color that changes, and I think its per planet rather than terminal

I still trying to find a good color but keep getting very similar ones, which is why I'm not sure

[ancient pendant]

with the prayers of the machine quest, what does the binary translate to

[carmine pollen]

per terminal is what it seems like to me. Maybe per planet

[untold sky]

What happens when you go to the galactic centre after doing the purge quest?

[hidden moth]

one last ow0

[knotty mountain]

I've done some testing on this, every terminal has different staff pieces and every terminal will roll different stats for each staff head as well, even on the same planet, every terminal is different

And I believe you can only get the returners drape (or whatever it's called) by leaving a autophage terminal and coming back to it, I thought that was neat but I might be wrong

I think it's part of their independence thing, makes sense that every terminal is different for autophages because they are not linked

[sterile schooner]

I don't know but I believe you are correct

[sterile schooner]

Yes, the Head part controls the Class

[carmine pollen]

You can upgrade the staff class like other multitools right?

Nice. Then I'm more worried about color then class personally lol

[compact coyote]

It’s awesome that more npcs can walk on planets

[carmine pollen]

Gonna grind some more autophage missions later and try to get more staff parts. Finally. My material hoarding has come in handy lol

[knotty mountain]

Not just the class but the stats and slot count as well, each head will have different stats/class/slot at a terminal, and every terminal will roll different stats for each head so none are the same, it's really cool actually, I love it

[sterile schooner]

I love it too. It's so cool how much we can customize our MTs now 🥳

[gilded tusk]

So if people find a terminal with good stats they can post it online with co-ordinates and glyphs and others can get the same stats?

[sterile schooner]

If you use the same Head part, yes

[gilded tusk]

How do you get different head parts?

[sterile schooner]

I buy mine from the Terminal at the Camps

[gilded tusk]

Oh yeah, I dont have the currency for that yet

[mental socket]

OwO what's this. Notices your voltaic staff

[sterile schooner]

You can do missions from the NPCs at the Terminal to get the Motes you need

[gusty stream]

"Is that your Voltaic staff or are you just happy to see me?"

[hybrid pendant]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRh4EBKntPM

[errant socket]

Oh yeah I saw those

Absolutely amazing

[hybrid pendant]

dont u think they look similar to the dreadnought design?

😏

u see where im going?

[foggy palm]

thats so dope

[tight matrix]

i think i know the 2nd part of the update

[hybrid pendant]

the dreadnought have this still soo maybe those will be pirate stations

[late tusk]

OH

[tight matrix]

think about it what havent nms touched

[foggy palm]

that was honestly the one thing i wanted to be overhauled

[late tusk]

so i think

[foggy palm]

so much more immersive

[late tusk]

next update will be stations and we can get a pirate frigate

[hybrid pendant]

space stations is part 4 i think

[late tusk]

yee yee

[tight matrix]

i think ship wrecks in space will be in part 4 too

[hybrid pendant]

we have pirate frigates

[late tusk]

we cant get the capital ship tho

[hybrid pendant]

that exists already

since 2020

[tight matrix]

updated

new reaeds

[spark acorn]

Id love the new space stations to be added, buut i think more with the autophages would be cooler
Like maybe freighters that look derelict but are actually autophage freighters

[tight matrix]

since space is getting a makeover

[errant socket]

How do you know

[tight matrix]

only thing left that hasnt been touched in years

[errant socket]

We can already get pirate frigates

From beating pirate freighters the frigates surrender and you can buy them

[hybrid pendant]

it fits doesnt it?

look at the style of the dreadnoughts

[errant socket]

It does

[hybrid pendant]

look at the style of the space stations

[late tusk]

no i want the capital ships.

[errant socket]

But just assume it won't happen

[hybrid pendant]

and they are even new lore in the space stations

[late tusk]

i have three frigates tho lol

[errant socket]

Ohhh

[hybrid pendant]

and they look sorta ready

im almost sure part 4 the next update will be the last update of the year

and the closure to this space combat/pirate/sentinel overhaul arc we started back in 2022

with the sentinel update

[tight matrix]

im thinking space stations new caps and space wreck rework

for part 4

[hybrid pendant]

i only expect space stations for part 4

[tight matrix]

maybe some new quests with it

small things

doubt just space stations

[hybrid pendant]

well its just that i dont put too much expectations

[tight matrix]

i see space station maybe new missions in it

and a wild card new cap we can capture

[hybrid pendant]

and i expect those space stations to be done now it has been a few months to polish them finishing them

[tight matrix]

maybe some new robot parts

in the station

for the quests

like a mini outlaw update

[normal orchid]

Oops.. I sold the thing I need to start the quest.. (spool of wires). Time to find/scrap some ships.

[errant socket]

Wiwwww

[compact coyote]

How to find harmonic camp?

[spark acorn]

either beat all waves of corrupted sentinels or destroy harmonic resonaters until you get an echo locater

i think you can get an echo locater from blowing up sentinel ships and freighters?

[tender spindle]

I'm betting at some point we'll be able to use our freighters in combat

If not pilot them, just summon them near a hostile vessel and boom

[wheat storm]

so I was checking the Twitch rewards, then I found this. Expedition 11 rewards...

[errant socket]

Yeah

Wait so is the construct "head" a pet or a replacement to the drone or can I have two drones now

[rigid socket]

i think it just is a drone

[errant socket]

So I have the sentry and the construct head now?

Sick

Plus the minotaur and a pet?

Five troop army

[analog breach]

Minotaur as a exo ai+ pet sentry/drone + laylaps

[errant socket]

So the construct head is a pet

Or a new drone

Like laylaps is

[mental socket]

pet since it comes from an egg

[analog breach]

Imo its pet like animals and other pets from expeditions

[errant socket]

Damn it

[mental socket]

laylaps is summoned with unique item. Pets come from eeeeegg

[errant socket]

I thought the construct head was a unique item type thing

[mental socket]

the skull is an unique base part ig

[errant socket]

??

[analog breach]

Construct egg is a pet . Construct skull is a base decor

[errant socket]

Ok

[umbral dawn]

I don't remember where Terminal Prime is

[analog breach]

Imagine. Pc case in shape of . So your PC would become literal ATLAS making nms simulation 👀

[analog breach]

Anomaly. Beside big portal

[umbral dawn]

Aaaah, thank you

[analog breach]

Np.

[errant socket]

Would have 16gb ram with a 16 core cpu

And a gpu with 16 in it somewhere ig

[analog breach]

16T ssd

[gilded tusk]

Am I gonna die and lose my inventory going this part?

[ancient pendant]

no

[gilded tusk]

Thank you, I thought the game bugged out lol

[umbral dawn]

When exactly do I unlock the autophage as a playable species?

[mental socket]

Once you've met them or once you've purchased your very first autophage cosmetic I'd assume

[carmine pollen]

Anyone have a link to photos of all the staff parts? I saw one earlier but forgot to save it 😭

Nvm I found one!

[compact coyote]

I’m going through a trace of metal so I can get to that new quest. After that then I just need to free a camp and boom!

[sick zinc]

The twitch drop jet trail is so cool

[tawdry olive]

Just finished talking to the atlas in 16/16 , what the fuck is going on

It said the atlas was dying then sent me to some random toxic planet after giving my character the most existential crisis ever

[neat plume]

It do be like that sometimes

Once you get an atlas pass v3 those back rooms in space stations will sometimes have more lore on that

[tawdry olive]

I have that

I have all the atlas passes plus I have finished the atlas pass

I heard that the game is like in a simulation I think

[neat plume]

Yeah try and find some of those server rooms cause they go into more detail

[tawdry olive]

Alr

Also i just started the purge mission, is it true I have to make some big choice at the end

[dense quartz]

It was kinda surreal how after all these years, the new story gave character development between us and the Atlas.

You shove scary pink stuff at the Atlas and it's like "Omg I'm scared" you're like "lol k" Atlas is like "I'm still a God I'll show you" you're like "Nah."

And the weird thing is, it felt like mid game story content if that makes sence. Like the Artemis stuff is like an introduction or first act. And the new story is where stuff actually picks up but also isn't finished yet.

[neat plume]

Yeah I wonder how it ends

Or if it ever will

[dense quartz]

I'm surprised how much I like how HG introduced the new race too. I didn't expect them to be locked off until you complete the main story and then they'd continue it.

And it's cintextualized so well how they've always been around.

[wanton dirge]

so how do i reset the simulation

[coral heron]

Correct you buy atleast 1 head and then you get the race. If you buy arms they are just like any other arms etc

[small geode]

Anyone know if all the new locked jetpack trails are gonna be quicksilver purchasable besides the electric for expedition

[mental socket]

They appear to be coming in the next 5 quicksilver tiers

unless HG changes something in a hotfix

[small geode]

Sick, was curious it was a large selection

[compact coyote]

Finished a trace of metal!

Now free a camp?

[icy citrus]

Unlock it yeah

[compact coyote]

Ok im I’m a dissonant planet. I don’t Remember how to find a camp

[dense quartz]

Look for the drill things and they'll give you a map chart you can use to locate a camp. Or fight corrupted sentinels, win all 5 rounds and it'll give you a waypoint to a camp.

[compact coyote]

Ok I freed one

Now i just warp and that’s it?

[dense quartz]

I think so.
If you're looking to start the new content, you need to do the main quest, abandoned camp and trace of metal.

[compact coyote]

I did that. I just got the new quest

[dense quartz]

Awesome!

[ancient pendant]

“I’ll die”
“Atlantid lives on, you can survive still too”

[dense quartz]

[lavish peak]

So I'm trying to do the staff questline, and to get the last part, I've been sent to salvage a ship, but I arrive at the location and there is no ship. Is this common?

[spark acorn]

yeah but you can just scrap anyship

you just need ship salvage parts totaling the amount required

[spice gorge]

Damn, you need a free ship slot for the scrapping part of the staff mission to finish it right? My slots are full. I guess I need to sacrifice a ship?

Am I seeing this right?

[spark acorn]

yeah or you can get an expensive part from someone else

like 1 indium scap or 1 starship ai valve would definitly do the trick or of course anything lower

[quiet relic]

i was able to retrieve my old ship after i swapped it, altough it was kind of tricky, i had to teleport to another system, then coming back to the crashed ship, then swap the ship, fly to the space station, and finally coming back to the crashed spot (i put a signal spot)

took me a few attempts to figure it out but it requires some trial and error, if you are on pc you can always back up your save

[mighty rampart]

The storyline was much shorter than I expected

But damn was it cool, ends on a pretty decent cliffhanger for whatever update they do next to continue it

And thrusting atlandium into nearly everything is just so funny of a concept

[dense quartz]

Yeah it felt like the first episode of a season 2.
Like the Artemis story is like an introduction to the universe of NMS and the autophage is where it starts to pick up if that makes sense.

[mighty rampart]

there's an achievement for comforting the Atlas lol

"aww poor baby I'm sorry for feeding you corrupted data you tried to wipe out"

So is the autophage more or less confirmed to be that race that the boundary failure log talked about? The one race it wiped out?

[compact coyote]

Yeah this story feels really big for the game

it literally does feel like a second part

[elfin hull]

wait really

[mighty rampart]

All the work getting the Atlas visuals redone was worth it, the second half was so fucking cool

chills

[normal orchid]

Wait how long has multi-tool decommissioning been in?

[compact coyote]

uncovering the juicy binary text

[clever loom]

so is there a way i can actually complete the new beginnings quest after i chose not to reset the universe or is it just kinda stuck like that

[compact coyote]

Its just like that, youre done with that

it stays for some reason

[mighty rampart]

3 days

[normal orchid]

Thanks.. glad it's new and not just me being unobservant 😄

[clever loom]

so can i go and reset it if i wanted to will that do anything or just bring me to hilbert

oh also

do i have to do the atlas path for the new robot quest

[compact coyote]

Nah

just do the trace of metal quest

and the harmonic camp

[clever loom]

how do you get it?

[compact coyote]

you have to have a settlement

[mighty rampart]

re-reading the boundary failure logs really makes me think its talking about the autophages

SCENARIO: Sub-routine ‘Sentinel’ [20491] dispatched to intervene in lifeform designates [--------] war. Removal from history / Continuation of [CREATOR] protocols.

‘Sentinels’ [20491] eradicate species. [148] do not return. Diagnostic [ERROR. ERROR. DATA LOSS. ERROR].

ANALYSIS: [-------] continues to express original programmed directives, growing its ability to model conflict scenarios.

[Redundant Behaviour]. Data loss troubling, potential loss of control [self-awareness]?


- 2ND Encounter

SCENARIO: Universes [1304] removed from multiversal hierarchy [erased]. Sentinel spread [unlimited], safety protocols disengaged.

ANALYSIS: Deleted universes shared high levels of similarity with [-------] home. Increasing deviation from expected behavioural parameters.

[Evasion / Fear] response. Implications of [-------] self-harm unthinkable. Direct confrontation proposed.


- 3RD Encounter

SCENARIO: [-------] termination of duplicate-098B.

ANALYSIS: Produced duplicate-098B [cautionary measure] for [-------] confrontation. Presented [-------] with incontrovertible evidence of systemic errors and irrational behaviour.

[-------] responded with silence. On the sixth attempt, [-------] answered with the utter annihilation of duplicate-098B, but required data had been obtained. Something is happening to the system. Something is very wrong. ```

[compact coyote]

very interesting indeed

[mighty rampart]

got me wondering if the 19th log would have some co-relation, it does not

but its still really chilling stuff

- 19TH Encounter

SCENARIO: A Traveller falls from the sky. They are discovered on a distant planet, a signal sending you to find their ship...

ANALYSIS: You don't belong in this world, do you? What are you, reader? From where do you watch us? From where do you judge their works?

I feel it, each time you save... I smell it, each time you seal us within that awful darkness. You might think you are real. You might think your plane is a higher level of reality.

But don't you understand? Don't you see the secret, yet?```

canonically whenever we die, we resurrect as a fresh iteration and our graves are temporary but we do enter the "world of glass" the same as everyone else

the autophages seem to have figured out the same, even in death they come back, not as fresh iterations but posessing a new body

oh I never looked into the Greek mythic side of things, lol its very on the nose than I thought

In European architectural sculpture, an atlas (also known as an atlant, or atlante or atlantid; plural atlantes) is a support sculpted in the form of a man, which may take the place of a column, a pier or a pilaster. The Roman term for such a sculptural support is telamon (plural telamones or telamons)

[elfin hull]

The boundary failure logs are my favorite parts of the lore

And they’re so missable

I just drove down to my old house to retrieve my copy of the game after hearing you guys talk about how the lore’s been extended

[mighty rampart]

whats very interesting about the boundary failure logs is they secretly updated them to add new entries after the 20th

[elfin hull]

WHAT

[mighty rampart]

Origins update I think? in the main patch notes near the end it just said added more secrets

[elfin hull]

AHHHHHHH

[elfin hull]

This log has always haunted me

“I feel it each time you save” is a crazy crazy crazy sentence

I keep trying to put my friends on this game’s lore but nobody is interested. I feel like it’s secretly one of the best sci fi universes out there right now

But I really do wish hello games would do a comic book on it

One set during the first few minutes of the simulation, before the war between the races and the atlas’ degradation

They did one at launch and it’s really cool!

https://imgur.io/a/IFW7r

Maybe nada and polo as the protagonists

[compact coyote]

Hey do you guys know anything about a “Asteria the hero traveler”?

[noble geyser]

Anyone know if it's possible to get the new Atlantid multi tools without doing the new story stuff?

[lavish peak]

Did we have any info yet about what/if the new multi-tool inherent bonus is?

[lavish peak]

Doesn't look like it.

[noble geyser]

ah

[noble geyser]

Do we know any of the new titles for the Outlaw faction? I'm 9/9 and can't really see anything

[analog breach]

You can check titles in apperance modifier. Its usualy writen on them what you need to do to unlock them.

[noble geyser]

I had a quick look but couldn't see anything at a glance, the whole titles menu is horribly bloated

Saw a few people on Reddit not sure either

[uncut harness]

Why... This universe?

What's so special about the one all this is set in?

What makes it special out of the infinite that there are?

Null, Nada.

They both came to this one

[timber sedge]

According to a reddit post, it seems atlantid rifles are mining bonus 20-25 and voltaic staff are 20-25 damage bonus. Take with a grain of salt however as I dont know how accurate this is or where the information was gathered

Source for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/162og38/updated_mt_statsbonuses/

[light vigil]

just reset, he wont talk to me

is this what null meant

also is a glyph combination of 1 6 1 6 1 6 etc special or just the 16 repeated over and over

[queen meteor]

i just traveled through the center of the galaxy and went to a new galaxy. once on the other side i repaired my ship. gone to the anomaly. left. and now im given this choice after i had already gone to the galactic core. what should i do? i need help and im ok being spoled

the choice is eitehr seek final inerface or explore the galaxy

[eternal radish]

I got my staff, but, why is my staff so ugly and basic and everyone else's is so beautiful???

[heady wyvern]

Clarify: you actually jumped through the Core, instead of following the quest portal to the Final Interface?

[ancient pendant]

Starter staff

[eternal radish]

Oh. If you upgrade it, it becomes prettier?

[ancient pendant]

its actually modular! as you do quests you earn can earn void motes and buy different parts to mix and match to make a new staff!

[queen meteor]

i did it followed the questline. not just of my own volition

[heady wyvern]

You were, technically, supposed to wait for the countdown to finish up.

Can't blame ya. That quest was written before it was possible to skip to the core via Portals.

[eternal radish]

Nice!!!

[queen meteor]

i did the artemis stuff. then finished the apolo and null stuff . and it told me to go to the galactic center

so i did

[heady wyvern]

Yeah. I get how you came to that conclusion, but you were ultimately mistaken.

You were supposed to, ultimately, be pointed towards a portal which would take you to the Final Interface.

[queen meteor]

so should i just do "the purge" now?

[heady wyvern]

In fact, you might still be on that countdown.

[heady wyvern]

Yep.

[queen meteor]

should i bother with the atlas path at all or just do the purge?

[heady wyvern]

You can do it while the Purge is happening. Optimize your time.

[queen meteor]

i guess yeah

[compact coyote]

Why isn’t there a no mans sky Iceberg chart

[compact coyote]

Jesus Christ how many starships do I have to scrap

[ancient pendant]

One, I learnt the hard way that you should sell the scrap you get from it

[compact coyote]

Ohhhh

I’ve sold like 4 and it’s asking for more 😂

[ancient pendant]

I went through like 3 before I realised “oh, don’t sell the loot”

[light vigil]

if you want to complete the artemis quest, seek the final interface

[mental socket]

The staff color depends on the terminal it's assembled at btw! So some terminals may make the crystal part yellow or purple etc.

[queen meteor]

I thought I already finished it

[light vigil]

Haha surprise

When you're given the choice about Artemis, that's almost half of the quest

Learned that the hard way myself yesterday

Have fun

[eternal radish]

Ah. Only the crystals or also the staff themself?

[mental socket]

I think every part really

[light vigil]

Wait there's no colour customisation on it?

[mental socket]

seen screenshots of various staff parts with different colors

[light vigil]

Sweet lord baby Jesus I am doomed

I thought those were chosen by them

[mental socket]

Nop. Still need to hunt for a specific terminal for the right colors and class.

Class is also dependent on the assembly location. And different combinations get different class per spot

so same part combination will get a different class depending on where you build it

[light vigil]

Fucken

Well it wouldn't be nms if you could do it easily would it

[mental socket]

way more challenging to get the perfect natural S-class staff than a multitool

Some terminal might yield S-class for your desired part combination but the colors might be something ugly

PROCDEDURALE!

[small pier]

Who were the Aerons, I can't recall them in lore

[mental socket]

Sentinel "race" is called Aerons

[light vigil]

@mental socket you can make multiple tho right?

Theyre recyclable right?

[tender spindle]

The Aerons were what the Sentinels used to be, before the destruction of Korvax Prime they were formless subroutines that were, for some reason, given the physical shells that we know and loathe after the fact

[light vigil]

Well we know what for

[tender spindle]

So what do you guys think about the void mother? Now that we've confirmed that Korvax Prime will return I'm under the impression that there's gonna be some kind of boss fight

[mental socket]

yups. As many as you want. If you have the parts

[light vigil]

Bless

[fervent cobalt]

When I go through the portal of the atlandit quest, will all my stuff break?

[glass flare]

no

[graceful kindle]

Any way to get the new outlaw freighters? or are they enemies only?

[glass flare]

You can hire their frigates, but the Dreadnought itself is not obtainable

[graceful kindle]

that's... kind of lame. lol

thank you

I've been a pirate ever since hte outlaw content was released, but never had titles or ships or anything else available. So was kind of excited about new pirate content. But seems there is none other than new pirate enemies.

[pale hazel]

just got my first Atlas? Runic? multitool

and
IT HAS
LITTLE DIPLOES ON IT

PORTAL GLYPHS CAN APPEAR ON THE MULTITOOLS

[glass flare]

yeah pirates are in a weird state right now. they've had very little story to explain how they became a serious threat, or where they got all this new tech

[graceful kindle]

It's such a weird design choice for the game devs, because the titles and ships and stuff already exist, in the game

just give the players the options to use them

like the LootGek and RaidingEntity and Dread Captian titles

the aesthetics of the outlaw stations could easily be applied to ships/weapons

instead we're kind of left just looking at NPCs use them like "oh that's kind of cool, wish I had that"

[glass flare]

yeah, and you can't fight on the side of pirates in the freighter battles

[graceful kindle]

yep

despite the fact that my standing with the 3 races is between -300 and -500 and my standing with pirates is... 9/9

I can only help traders and kill pirates

makes sense

[glass flare]

kind of disappointed by the new story in the quests. didn't really advance what we know about Void Mother at all. And the interaction with Atlas was very much retreading past encounters and prior lore. They basically just introduced the Autophages and that's it, which is cool for those that like them, but they don't fundamentally change any mechanics in the game. Even the staff doesn't unlock new capabilities, it's just a reskin of the multitool.

The most interesting changes were with the pirates, but HG offered no explanation for why pirates suddenly have the most formidable capital ships in the universe

[graceful kindle]

probably just retcon

they always had them

I mean they've been trading in black market parts that are noticably stronger than their legal counterparts

so it makes sense a powerful pirate could pimp out a large freighter with all kinds of illegal tech

they added a pirate faction, and the ranks don't event grant a title? lmaoo

what is the point of this?

anyone know the purpose of pirate ranks?

doesn't seem to unlock any new shop/mission options or titles

[compact coyote]

Uhhhh help. Trying to scrap a ship but it’s invisible.

Tried restarting the game still doesn’t work

[compact coyote]

Nvm

[quiet relic]

any ship works for scrapping

[spice gorge]

So I had the Atlas interaction and was told to talk to Nada. I did that and the two Echoes missions in the Log are now gone. But I did not learn anything about void motes, how to get, etc. Is that your experience also?

[glass flare]

Yeah, it basically just ends after that. There is additional lore you can find by giving Atlantideum to monolith sites, but I haven't done those yet

[spice gorge]

Huh. So how are people modifying their staffs - I see different looking ones shown. Need void motes and the computer on planet surface that's hidden to modify them, right? That computer was revealed once in the missions.

[glass flare]

Every camp terminal computer sells different staff parts, and I believe color is determined by the planet or system. And you get motes to buy them by doing missions from the camp inhabitants

[compact coyote]

Wow the Autophage story was amazing. Just as important as the Artemis story. Wow

[dense quartz]

Ranks in this game don't really have any function at all. You can be best buddies with a race or have your reputation below -9999 and nothing changes gameplay wise.

Factions in NMS are just a number on a menu currently. I hope they overhaul it where it'll be a big deal in the future.

[analog breach]

Negative rep could make some services like vendors have higher prices or locked totaly . It also could give permament wanted lvl. Also sentinels could use more deadly weapons and you could get most wanted lvl that would cause all npc on top of sentinels ships be hostile.

And vice versa good rep would cause better prices, more items to buy, sentinels and npc helping if attacked.

[graceful kindle]

yes I don't know why I'm able to even dock on Vy'keen space stations when my reputation with them is below -700

[sullen hornet]

I know the game tries to be hyper-casual in every aspect, but i really do agree that there should be actual consequences sometimes, especially in normal difficulty upwards. Being the lowest rep for a faction should make them hostile or make space stations unusable. If there's never any stakes, then nothing you do has any value.

Sometimes difficulty should include having to actually think about what youre doing.

The pirate dreadnought and sentinel overhauls are a good step in the right direction for sure

Faction changes that add some real cost/benefit would be pretty sweet. It would make those forged passports worth something, and could give an opportunity to add reward tracks for positive faction rep too

Maybe give unique armor sets, ships, or multi tools, for achieving higher faction rep

[elfin hull]

technically everything in this game’s lore is solved if you just alt f4

[glass flare]

regarding factions, it's interesting that Sean gave this answer just a year before launch of the game: ```Q: Are factions themselves procedural, or will their names be persistent across the entire universe?

Murray: Factions are procedurally generated, because they have to fill such a large universe, but individual factions occupy what will feel like pretty huge chunks of space, so you'll get to know them well as you travel through. You’ll actually be able to get a real sense of personality from them.

Factions will become friends with you if you help them out, maybe by defending them against an attack from a warring faction or a pirate attack. Perhaps if you're attacked and they're around, they'll come and help you in return, or maybe they’ll give you preferential treatment as a trader```

like, they had planned out a lot of the things that we wish factions were. but for some reason they scrapped all that and made "factions" the same as "races"

[pale hazel]

does overclocking your Personal Refiner make it go faster?
mine's in an overclock slot and i just witnessed it go through activated indium pretty quickly
(my settlement produces, like, a. indium in the hundreds)

[sullen hornet]

interesting observation, im not sure. it makes sense if that's how it works though

[pale hazel]

actually, hang on, i'll try to properly test this

[sullen hornet]

yeah was just considering doing it myself with a timer

[pale hazel]

here's the times i got refining 100 Carbon into Condensed Carbon
OVERCLOCKED - ~22.77s
NO OVERCLOCK- ~22.65s

doesn't seem to make a difference
though i DID fumble with the buttons on the overclocked (got 23 seconds instead of 22)

[graceful kindle]

overclocked slots don't seem to work on very many things outside of weapons/shields

engines on ships, and jet packs I guess

but no secondary mods at all

[lunar surge]

Overclock? We talking mods or somthing else?

[mental socket]

supercharged slots. The purple ones

[glass flare]

are the pirate dreadnaughts procedural, or is it a static asset?

[analog breach]

There is one model of pirate freighter from what i saw

[glass flare]

yeah that's what I figured, too bad. procedural placement of weapons and such would have kept the combat encounters a bit fresher

[fierce bobcat]

Do I need Artemis' Translator after I finished using it?

[night helm]

So I did the new faction quest up to making the staff and talking to Nada, was that all there was? I don’t see any other new quest stuff.

I know about the motes and stuff of course too.

[dense quartz]

That's about it.

It feels like it might expand as more content gets added, since the story stops once you went through everything new.

[eternal radish]

Hey, can the Autophage hoods be worn without the Autophage heads? Can you just have, for example, a Traveller head and wear an Autophage hood?

[eternal radish]

I expected it to be longer, but the quest was still fun. It kinda felt like The Atlas quest 2.0

It was more or less a tutorial for the new stuff, much like the Voice of Freedom quest which introduces you to pirate space stations and back market economies.

[acoustic dew]

Tried using the hoods on a gek, no go. The gek does have a spawning cowl tho

[eternal radish]

I hope I can ever give my Traveller a hood 🙂

Or a headpiece similar as Artemis has.

[night helm]

Yeah I was reading it said you can use the stuff with other species but I didn’t figure it out beyond the hands and feet really.

Thankfully have been able to get the Autophage chest without the armor though 🙂

[eternal radish]

I'd love to wear the clothes but I'd like to stay a Traveller

[night helm]

I hear ya. I really liked that Shroud of Freedom and after the Expedition I was rocking that with a mostly phage body.

Saved the outfit but I’m going full phage right now haha (with a cape of course!)

Wish they had rust and wear options for more clothing! Looks so good

[eternal radish]

For some reason I never got the shroud of freedom after completing the Voice of Freedom quest

[night helm]

I’m sorry! That sucks 😦

[eternal radish]

Idk why?

[night helm]

Well you earned it. And also cause I think it was one of the best heads for awhile

kinda looks like Darth Revan haha

[ancient pendant]

can i not use the atlantid monolith if ive already used it as a korvax monolith?

because i did the korvax thing, then the atlantid plinth, but all i could do w the monolith was locate a portal

[tame grotto]

possibly? since the dialogue changes between the two types. try finding another monolith you haven't used before and confirm if that's what's happening.

maybe someone in #nms-questions has more info. you can try using spoiler tags there altho not needed/required, if no one else gets back with more insight here.

[ancient pendant]

Yep, you either have to use the monolith for korvax or atlantid, just did some testing and you can’t do both

[spice gorge]

So, has it been determined what a void mote is and how to acquire them? I know it wasn't in the story. They're needed to customize the staff, right?

[spring rune]

You get them from running missions from the autophage

which you can get when you have your staff

[spice gorge]

Is there a hidden staff computer on planet at each of the autophage hidden camps on a second scan?

[knotty mountain]

There's a staff computer at every autophage camp, it looks identical to the one that is at harmonic camps

You shouldn't have to second scan

[pale hazel]

i usually have to second scan sometimes

keep trying

[mental socket]

Only that sometimes if you scan before getting close enough to the camp, it might leave some parts of it hidden and requiring a new scan

[knotty mountain]

True, you have to be near the middle of the camp when you scan, which is easier said than done when you can't see it lol

[viral wedge]

This is kinda creepy. Was this a bug?

The game never really talked or addressed the floating bodies.

[mental socket]

That's just the 3 dominant races visualized there for some random reason

[viral wedge]

Yeah... Just weird and getting Dead Stranding vibes. LOL

[mighty rampart]

even in early 1.x builds of the game, you actually needed good rep with the races to acquire blueprints, this is still the case technically but you are now made to buy them from the space anomaly by default which defeats the purpose entirely

[elfin hull]

Kinda feels leftover since they’ve introduced 2 more and haven’t updated it, but I guess the gek/vykeen/Korvax have always been the main ones and The Travelers/The Anomalies and The Autophages are, well, anomalous

[mental socket]

Yeah. Travelers aren't a "dominant race" exactly and Atlas isn't even aware of Autophages. They exist against the odds and logic of the sim

[late tusk]

You dont recognize the bodies in the water

[devout field]

The fucking what

This game is so much darker and not as happy as I thought 😂😭

[viral wedge]

Isn't that existence? 😭 🎻

[compact coyote]

The autophages have always been here

They’ve been watching us

Quietly

[sterile schooner]

😱

[clever loom]

So what even is the void mother apparently it's been around for a while but the interceptor expedition was the time I found out that it existed because someone in here was talking about it

[mighty rampart]

its a very long story

essentially its the AI the Korvax made while trying to understand their god, Atlas

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Lore

here's a general dump if you want to be spoiled as information on it is scattered across missions and logs

[graceful kindle]

Do any fellow pirates know, now that Freighters are destructible, if I destroy one before all of the cargo bays are looted do I still get everything that was in them? Or is it also destroyed?

@glass flare

[sick zinc]

Pls dont miss this new backpack from Twitch Drop

[elfin hull]

Thank you for the reminder. I almost forgot!

[analog breach]

Its new/old backpack. Its from past expedition

[graceful kindle]

• request dialect help
• ask for Friendship Word
• learned the Vy'keen word for Violence
• just Vy'keen things
• Grah!

Instructions unclear, I headbutted him and I think we're married now?

[small pier]

How much do you guys think our choices for this update will impact our choices for the next update/story beat?
I yelled at the Atlas but in the end comfort them in their pain and was given the title "Atlas Whisperer" but I don't want to be on the Atlas's side so I might have sided with the wrong group.

[tender spindle]

I mean like it or not the atlas is the reason for your existence

If the Void Mother wins, everything will die for real

[small pier]

We don't know that for sure.

[tender spindle]

Assuming the Void Mother intends to usurp or destroy the Atlas, it could have one of two outcomes
Either the Void Mother takes over, business as usual for the most part
Or the Atlas is destroyed, ending the simulation

[mental socket]

Well Void Mother desires to prevent erasure and death we're slowly dreading towards. Persistence of data and so on

I chose to push Atlantideum into Atlas and comfort it, trying to make it find hope

And like Nada said, Void Mother isn't exactly a threat to us but Atlas. Maybe there's a way to... idk... we'll see eventually

[small pier]

This, @tender spindle there are multiple times since the Void Mother reveal and even before it that stated they don't want to be destroyed they want to survive and live
At this point the Atlas is spiraling trying to figure out how to save itself from dying, so if anything Void Mother might take over, fuse, or combine with the Atlas to try and figure something out.

[tawdry quarry]

Call me crazy but with how we got dreadnaughts and their own special health bar, and all the Autophages are talking about her return...

2 + 2 = War

[glass flare]

Yes it was very simplistic, but at least there was a bit of consequence. Now it seems like they're afraid to give the player any consequences. The big choice in the last expedition of which side you were choosing, Atlas or Atlantid, turned out to just be a cosmetic item

Which also brings up a continuity question -- to your MC on a non-expedition save, it would be very perplexing why this construct is suddenly in the Anomaly

[umbral dawn]

Are hardframe engines used for anything outside of the uh... laylaps quests?

[glass flare]

I don't think VM cares much about Atlas' fate one way or the other, it's only goal is to find a way to escape the Atlas simulation and bring its children with her

[alpine elm]

they can be sold, but nothing more i believe

[shy grove]

Did anyone grab a screencap of the Atlas station you see when you're teleported into space at the end of the Autophage quest line?

[elfin hull]

I DIDNT REALIZE THEY PUT LAYLAPS IN THE GAME

[sick zinc]

The blue fighter twitch drop today has a infra knife already stacked lol

[shy grove]

Wait, where was Laylaps previously

[elfin hull]

before the sentinel update laylaps was mentioned in loretext

as early as 2018 actually. I found logs in this server when I was talking about it. they really played the long game on him

on some planets you can find giant rings that dispel lore about the ATLAS/Sentinels/etc. part of these logs is the story of an A.I. named Telamon that was created to monitor the ATLAS in case of rampancy. however eventually the ATLAS decides to depart from Telamon by physically molding it into subsystem responsible for your Exosuit voice, attaching it away from itself and onto the player character. pretty much giving into rampancy. Laylaps is probably confusing you and your subsystem, since sentinels are computational and therefore see the programming side of things

the telamon stuff is a good read. what I gave is abridged. theres a lot to it

theyve also updated it and im not sure ive read the newer stuff yet. i have to check

[glass flare]

yeah Telamon was starting to question Atlas because it was doing some sus things, so Atlas got rid of the problem by trapping Telamon inside the exosuit

That's always kind of bothered me because an AI subsystem designed to monitor Atlas wouldn't be set up so that the system it was monitoring could cancel it. Like Sean is a programmer, he should know that a security system wouldn't be designed like that

[elfin hull]

I was just thinking that lol

yeah it really is weird but hey the actual writing is pretty good

I guess they could always say the degradation of ATLAS' systems means it can do some funky stuff

[glass flare]

yeah, I guess you could also explain it away that because Telamon used to be a real person (according to the Waking Titan events), the way it was set up was not standard

Exosuit = the suit you wear in the game, not the mech

[glass flare]

it's a lot to explain over discord, but the simplest explanation is that the Atlas AI controls the simulation which the NMS gameworld represents. there are multiple simulations running parallel on the servers that Atlas runs on. so the operating system that runs the Atlas processes put in security measures so that Atlas wouldn't get out of control

[spice gorge]

So 12 looks like the max # of Wonders you can have in your display collection

Do autophages only exist in Dissonant systems?

Was trying to scan for them - elsewhere

Just did a normal scan

[lunar surge]

Michael Jackson is that you?

[glass flare]

their camps exist on all inhabited planets

[spice gorge]

Odd. I have that scanner on the tool, but I can't find that thing you had to load with Atlantidium and trigger. Was that a mtool item or exo?

[pale hazel]

hello chat, i have a game for you
if you're ever bored and have a portal, follow these simple steps

• go to a random address using the portal network
• shoot the first Sentinel you see

fight off the waves and enjoy the free nanites from doing it, and the thrills of fighting sentinels

[glass flare]

it's a scanner-based multitool upgrade, it's probably on one of your MTs not the staff

[supple bramble]

autophage =/= sentinel?

[ancient pendant]

Laylaps calls me Telamon not Telamon

[dense quartz]

Eh.. The biggest issue I have with the writing is how your character is basically a silent protagonist you can insert yourself into because he has no personality or established traits...
But whenever you interact with story elements your guy suddenly describes his decision making like "This made me very angry." or "This scares me, that's why I chose the option the player selected"

It's such a huge disconnect imo.

[pale hazel]

basically
Telamon is the voice in your head suit that goes " Hostile scan detected " or " Radiation protection; falling "

i have learned to accept Telamon as way of life, despite how goddamn annoying they get

[night helm]

Pokémon update incoming confirmed? 😂

[night helm]

It gives you the system scanning thing before you have the staff so it may be on another multi tool?

I’m gonna move mine to the staff right now actually 😉

It’s called Polyphonic Core and the Scan Harmoniser is the local scan once you landed at the camp/area

[spice gorge]

Can you not modify one part of your existing staff? Must you create (assemble) a new staff with 3 new parts?

[sharp bone]

ohhh

[sharp bone]

cant modify, have to make new one

also the ones you make at terminals wont show their colors in multiplayer. instead theyll look blue to others, just fyi

[pale hazel]

this MAY be an old post, but
what do you need to know

[pale hazel]

no

you're just in a new galaxy

also, a buncha lore stuff i wrote earlier is at #nms-spoilers message

yeah

the reset goes to different galaxies either from where you are or euclid, idk

different galaxies have different chances of planet biomes methinks

otherwise, a whole new world
also you don't have 16 earth minutes (separate from simulation minutes) to live

true

do you have a civilization

you've gotta get one before starting A Trace of Metal

it should eventually start after you improve the civilization for a lil while

basically, play the hidden city builder dlc

[elfin hull]

The traveler’s origin is covered in the REMEMBRANCE lore. I’ll cover in spoilers in case you want to read it for yourself. ||But essentially it’s a duplicated, simulated version of the creator of the ATLAS. The ATLAS, being a supercomputer able to simulate realities, asked for a scan of the creator. The creator obliges. Then many years pass, and the creator as well as their species is no longer on the planet that the atlas is. So while it dies, it becomes so afraid that it summons the scanning it took thousands of years before and creates a digital recreation of the creator so it doesn’t have to be alone.||

However there is another race tied to the travelers: “Anomaly”. This one is not in the in-game lore, but it’s from the ARG, “Waking Titan”. In its second season, Waking Titan introduced players to a fictional company known as W/ARE. W/ARE created a device that allowed people to play video games and apps in their sleep. No Man’s Sky was on that device. While beta testing it, the developers inadvertently trapped several people’s consciousnesses into orbiting satellites around Earth. We worked together to pull their consciousnesses back down but one of them didn’t make it and stayed trapped, because we kinda forgot them (and also they were severely damaged within the satellite). This is largely suggested to be the player character and they’re even mentioned in the opening of the game, in the in-game lore. This implies they are actively playing no man’s sky in the satellite. But the game refers to us also as a traveler, so Anomaly/Traveler are pretty interchangeable and therefore Anomalies seem to be a subsection of Travelers. Specifically anomalies are those Travelers that originated from the one person stuck in the satellite still.

It’s never described much

People could assume it’s some form of humanity, but the game intentionally leaves it vague. And with an infinite number of simulations between different levels convinced they’re real, it could be anything and look like anything

[worldly elm]

Just found out that HER is Korvax prime or the korvax convergence

Wow, really good storyline ngl

Maybe at the end of this story ark we might have an actual ending, in my eyes a good ending for the game would be the Atlas shutting down, or humans coming back to find the Atlas simulation still running, after all the Atlas only has 16 minutes of functionality left until it shuts down, maybe the traveler could discover its one of the creators and has a flood of memories come to them after all the atlas only wants awnsers from its creator. They still should explain the world of glass and race lore, but adding more personality to the traveler would be awesome, either way their should be more than one ending, crimson and Atlantid, crimson being the one I just said, and the Atlantid where tou help the corruption and grow it to the point where it crashes the simulation and nms entirely, maybe to be irreparable and lost forever,

[supple bramble]

the dark kicker about staff multitool: ||comprised of autophage remains||

huh

also i don't get about this autophage thing

[analog breach]

I wonder if autophages will upgrade themselfs and at some point and will look really high tech like the monolith weapons.

[uncut harness]

They say they rebuilt themselves from the remnants. They also seem to hold less attachment to a carapace than do the Korvax (rite of passage for Korvax, expected hand off generationally, whereas the Autophage seem to believe/think that what passes between carapaces is the more important of the set), thus the 'parts is parts' approach. Or so it seems from what they have said to date, the fact that their camps are stewn with parts, that they are, themselves, often made of said parts, that all of the new gear are such parts, etc.

So a distinction in ideology that sets them well apart from the Korvax of the old Prime or today, it seems.

[supple bramble]

why autophage cloak themselves is just beyond me

[uncut harness]

Perhaps it is not a cloak. Perhaps they live out of phase with reality a'purpose. It aligns nicely with what that mathematical symbol indicates, too. (See my previous chatter on the symbol for Echos, well above).

They hide between worlds no less than Nada, Polo, and the Anomaly. Merely using a different method. You can do that in math. >:)

The interesting thing to ponder might better be - what are we doing to ourselves by repeatedly aligning ourselves with that phasing/reality, and might it be doing more harm than good? We have so many butterfly wings up in this that I'm shocked we haven't been full on tsunami-wasted with the unintended consequences (outside looking in at the lore and all its implications).

[twilit gull]

i have heard that the exbo is going to be on the 31 of this month. im so excided for win it comes out

[uncut harness]

Just wanna point out, the construct knows the traveler is the same as the traveler in the singularity expedition

[scenic flume]

Where did you hear this?

I'm definitely interested in any gossip about the start of the expedition that is more than just guesswork; it would be great for planning purposes

[twilit gull]

Captin steve a very info stong youtuber said it one a video he just posted yesterday. He got the info from something that hello games posted on.

[icy citrus]

They got the info by snooping on the data from HG servers, which they have been asked to not do

[dense briar]

im at the part of autophage quest where its says "find more autophage" the camps can spawn only on the dissonant planets right?

or are they everywhere

[glass flare]

They’re on all inhabited planets, supposedly

[tepid iris]

the expedition didn't start yet right

[hearty elm]

I finished the Atlantid quest line(s) and was curious if there were different endings sort of speak? Wasn't sure if it was similar to the main quest where you'd get a different outcome depending on your choices?

I forgot to do a hard save before talking to the Atlas and finishing the quest to see, and was curious if anyone else happened to see if there were different outcomes

[errant loom]

I wrote a little poem for nms, based off of where I am in the story

||16 minutes, a whole eternity Enough time to explore the stars Enough time to say goodbye 16 minutes until the simulation dies And yet lifetimes come and go A universe within a universe within a universe Life is but a fractal pattern, slowly collapsing in on itself A friend, met after their death A friend, guided to the correct path A third, who's motivations are unknown And a Traveler, trapped in the middle of it all We are all one within the atlas 16 / 16 / 16 / 16||

[uncut harness]

No its the same each time. There was an option to choose something in the prior expedition

[uncut harness]

hey, does anyone know what happens when you have 16 glyphs when travelling to the galactic core

[knotty mountain]

am I missing anything?

other than the buildable parts obv

[sick zinc]

#nms-questions

[uncut harness]

oh no I'm good now

[late tusk]

something i noticed in the new quest. when you get teleported into the sky like you do during 16/16 the atlas is more damaged than when you did the artemis quest line.

the outside is falling apart

[dense quartz]

They are around every drop pod, beacon, crashed freighter and ancient ruin.

[compact coyote]

That’s a great poem

[dense quartz]

No way.. I wasn't paying attention!

[late tusk]

yes :D

[dense quartz]

Do you have a screenshot by any chance? 😂

[late tusk]

no i did it on my other save

[ancient pendant]

I do

[dense quartz]

That seems like it's normal to me. I thought it would be in pieces like an abandoned/pirate space station.

Also, you should activate Windows.

[ancient pendant]

Worth noting that the echoes banner also displays a crumbling ATLAS

[ancient pendant]

So I’ve been told haha

[elfin hull]

I think that’s just how they’ve always looked to be honest

The atlas stations

Yeah

I can’t post images here but there’s an image from aug 2017 (atlas rises). It’s the same. But having a gradually degrading atlas station design would be so cool

[ancient pendant]

Maybe if we ever get to fifteen they’ll start doing that

I do wonder if we’ll ever see anything but sixteen by the end of the games development

[elfin hull]

that would be awesome. No other game except maybe matrix online would have made their end of development life cycle canon

[ancient pendant]

Imagine the games final update is released, but what they don’t mention in the patch notes is the very last thing that happens before the credits roll

At the atlas

“Fifteen”

[worldly elm]

Personally I think their should be a good and bad ending for the Atlas, an antlantid and crimson ending if you like

[cedar minnow]

I sorta want the last update to have an option for accelerating the countdown

Like, get all the way to zero on a save. See what happens.

[slim pewter]

the abyss is the good guy

[worldly sleet]

Y’know what if the reason the atlas is dying is because it’s working itself to death simulating realities? What if it’s just a simple issue of overheated components about to bust?

[mental socket]

rememberance logs say it's being ripped apart by a black hole

[sour fossil]

Gotta make a small rant

HG, you can do better than this

The left one is the header image for expedition 11

The right one - for expedition 5

[modest moth]

Any word on when the Community Expedition will be launched? Doesn't matter old or new

[tame grotto]

We don't have an official date or time, but we're expecting it this week. We'll make sure to create a Discord event as soon as we have an official time and will announce it in #nms-announcements (you can get a pingable role in #roles for notifications if you'd like )

[small pier]

Question for you all; I wasn't sure where to put this, in spoilers or the future section of this Discord.
Now that we have a fourth race, do you think the datamined Stations are for us to make abandoned stations habitable for them and have a more player created system where we can invite races and settlements for the Autophages instead of just having small dinky outposts they have to hide in?

[ancient pendant]

Pugneum is purple, like all the corrupted stuff, like the atlantideum, does that have significance?

[late tusk]

nope the one you see during one of the sequences in artemis quest line its perfectly fine. the one in echoes quest is damaged

[elfin hull]

I got ya. But the one in the screenshot sent to me is the same as normal ones which is primarily what I was responding to

I’ll pay attention when I play through the autophage quest

[molten breach]

Can you do both of the missions that branch off from They Who Returned?

[mental socket]

yups

[mighty rampart]

oh just realised the atlantid monolith texts are a parallel to sentinels

[dense quartz]

Are there new models for monoliths?

[rocky heath]

so
What are the Autophages
Seems like they're related to either the Sentinels or the Korvax
or maybe both?

[analog breach]

Autophages are ancestors of the korvax

[worldly sleet]

They were the lost souls that were deleted alongside Korvax prime, and found coherence within the void thanks to the void mother

[glass flare]

I'm not sure they're actually "ancestors", from what I could tell they were Korvax that were killed and sent to the Abyss. in the Abyss they lost the link to the Convergence hivemind, and over time became individualistic. Once they escaped the Abyss (I don't think we don't really know how that happened, I assume something VM did) they were philosophically very different from Korvax

[rocky heath]

i'm drawing parallels between the Autophages and that one Vortigaunt from Half Life Alyx but this ain't the place to talk about that

so basically, they were severed from a larger whole?

and they became autonomous

[worldly sleet]

I got the impression they were naturally emerging from the void alongside VM’s efforts, but more just being opportunistic at a shot at existence again rather than the fruits of their labors culminating to their freedom

In other words: I’m expecting more than just cloaked camps from them in the future

[rocky heath]

so what's the void mother then?
i always thought of it as the remnants of Korvax Prime, or could KP have been an Intelligent planet?

i'm honestly suprised nobody's made those "gameplay vs lore" memes for NMS, because this games backstory is incredibly deep

[worldly sleet]

We’re not 100% sure. There’s arguments to be made that VM is Korvax Prime, and that Korvax Prime is just one part of VM. I doubt we’ll get a concise answer, all we know is the two are connected somehow

[glass flare]

we know that VM was at least the AI that ran Korvax Prime. Whether she was also some kind of techno-moon structure that made up the whole planet, who knows

[tepid iris]

I swear they're witholding the expedition to conflict with Starfield

[fiery karma]

I think is more likely they are waiting for the Switch update to release the expedition on all consoles at the same time

[eternal radish]

Idk how on topic this is but I took MTBI personality tests for the Artemis, Apollo and -null-. Some questions were pretty hard to answer because I didn't know what they'd do in such a situation, but here are the results I got:

Artemis: ENFJ-T (protagonist)

Apollo: ISTJ-A (logistician)

-null-: INTJ-T (Architect)

[sick zinc]

Sounds about right for any trinity definitions lol

[dusky hull]

I just went and spoke w/ Iteration:Ariadne during the Trace of Metal quest, and she said smthn along the lines of "I don't feel so good", and some of her text in that statement was purple - and I've seen references to ar1adn3 (I think that's how it's spelled?) throughout stuff related to the void mother - d'you think maybe that iteration has smthn to do w/ this?

[compact coyote]

She’s an imposter

[analog breach]

At least the ariadne on anomaly is

[dense quartz]

I wonder how the autophage built their bodies without having bodies at first.

You can also help them by locating the destroyed autophage body and feed it some materials and that's apparently part of the process for their bodies being created? But then a traveler is involved instead of them doing it themselves.

[wheat storm]

😭😭😭 i really want one

[worldly sleet]

Reality is constantly reshaping itself with every update, and we have no reason to believe it’s just the Atlas doing the reshaping. I doubt it brought forth the corrupted worlds, and I doubt it would restore entities that it must know are loyal to its only true enemy

[opaque fulcrum]

Both Atlas and Atlantid have control over the realities

[quick carbon]

Hi, when resetting the simulation, the options are red, green, blue and teal galaxies. What's the difference between these galaxies please? Thank you very much.

[analog breach]

Red -harsh galaxy . More extreme planets
Green - more lush planets
Blue- more dead and wierd planets
Teal is normal galaxy like euclid i think

[quick carbon]

Thank you very much @analog breach

[analog breach]

No problem

[quick carbon]

I have chosen one of the four galaxies. Is it possible for me to redo this choice so I can try out the other three galaxies, please? Thank you very much.

[analog breach]

Yes. You can visit
Other galaxies. And if you have bases there you can jump between them.

Galaxies are in order . Euclid is the first. Each galaxy core jump sends you to the next one.

[quick carbon]

So, I have to go to the core of the galaxy I am in to jump to the next galaxy? Is there no way to redo the Reset Simulation mission so that I can choose one of the other 3 galaxies, please?

[analog breach]

You can redo atlas path.
You can use portals to jump across galaxy to near the center core. x12 takes you 5.5kLY away from core.
You can also join other player that is in desired galaxy and place base there.

[quick carbon]

Thank you for letting me know. How do I redo the Atlas path, please? In the new galaxy I am in, I visited an Atlas and it just let me create a new star instead of letting me reset simulation. Please clarify. Thank you very much.

[analog breach]

Using portals is faster. It takes like 5-10 min to get from one galaxy to the other

<:NmsAtlas:972222451801010207> The Atlas Path

The Atlas Path is one of the main storylines, and its objective is to visit Atlas Stations and learn the 10 Atlas Seed item blueprints. Once a blueprint has been learned, the mission will task the player with progressing on to the next Atlas Station. Atlas Seed blueprints are always unlocked in the same order.

The Atlas Path may ask the player to go through a black hole, but the player can just ignore this, and instead ask Polo @ Space Anomaly for directions to an Atlas Station system.
The Atlas Path can be completed in tandem with the story mission The Purge.

To unlock all the blueprints, and to complete The Atlas Path, the player requires 50 completed Journey Milestones (aka Magellan rank), and to craft the Heart of the Sun for the last Atlas Station interaction. To craft the Heart of the Sun, you will use each seed you have learned to craft the next one (from first to last), until you get to the Heart of the Sun.

Atlas Seed crafting costs:

Captured Nanode - Chromatic Metal x100
Englobed Shade - Captured Nanode x1 + Pure Ferrite x100
Noospheric Orb - Englobed Shade x1 + Ionised Cobalt x100
Dark Matter - Noospheric Orb x1 + Magnetised Ferrite x5
Dawns End - Dark Matter x1 + Chromatic Metal x25
Photoic Jade - Dawn's End x1 + Copper x100
State Phasure - Photic Jade x1 + Cadmium x100
Novae Reclaiment - State Phasure x1 + Emeril x100
Modified Quanta - Novae Reclaiment x1 + Indium x100
Heart of the Sun - Modified Quanta x1 + Gold x100

Depending on the choice made at the final (11th) Atlas Station, the player will also learn the Star Seed exosuit technology blueprint.

Did you know? No matter what choice the player picks at the end of The Atlas Path, the galaxy map will now display the location of nearby systems that have a black hole.

Thank you. How do I know the portal glyph address for another galaxy, please?

Portal only moves you from a to b in the same galaxy. Adressess are the same for every galaxy x12 will always take you near center

Thank you ever so much.

Does anyone here play NMS with multiple monitors?

Can it be anyhow resolved that if I click in my other monitor (like in Discord) that it doesn't flicker? 😄

[dry summit]

anyone still remember Aretimis?

wtf is gunter

a bot

[heady wyvern]

Our bot. Locally operated.

[silver ivy]

I feel like this has been asked a billion times but I've spent an hour looking this up. So much old and new stuff and people saying wrong stuff... I'm new this is my first week playing and I'm at...The Purge(sigh)... The constant seems to be your stuff is damaged. What I haven't got a clear answer on is will my previous bases and stuff still stay there. Seems like in the beginning it was gone but now it isn't if you choose reset. Then I saw like 4 months ago someone said it is gone. So much confusing stuff for a new player. I will say going back and digging through stuff on reddit and on here has been fun. This game is pretty wild and I hate I didn't jump on board before now. So my main questions are 1) Do you keep your stuff no matter the decision? 2) Dose it matter which system you pick? Everyone seems to Green or Teal I guess for the looks. Does one provide better ships or have better RNG cause it is more harsh? Thanks in advance... sorry just a space cadet here grinding away learning.

[icy citrus]

1. You will lose nothing.
2. The color is for spawn chances in yellow systems, for certain biomes. Green is for Lush, so you would see more lush biomes, which is why lots choose that. The galaxy doesn't affect type of ships or their stats or anything like that.

[silver ivy]

Thank you very much!

[lavish peak]

I really like the new backpack. :>

[mighty rampart]

These aren't new, right?

never noticed there's a small story going on with crashed freighter logs, always thought they were all discrete entries until the recent ones started feeling like they're connected

also noticed that the beacon can be interacted twice, instead of just once

[elfin hull]

I dont think so. I remember reading them a few years back

but to be fair I did so by going into the game files and reading the language file in notepad so its always possible theyve only recently actually implemented it

[light vigil]

ayo, soo
each expedition has a narrative right

utopia had building housing or whatever

singularity was us seemingly reviving an extinct race

whats this one?

wherever i go i just get paradise planets.. does it get worse afterwards or are we like on vacation

narratively speaking we should be going to meet HER

[dire drum]

pretty sure it's just NMS returning to the roots, just an expedition about exploration.

[alpine hare]

@steady osprey its the ammount of time the atlas thinks it has left alive

16 minuets

[steady osprey]

But it’s already been 16 minutes 💀. I have no idea what the atlas even is as well. Like a big computer?

[alpine hare]

i said THINKS it has left

[steady osprey]

Oh

So it’s like glitched?

[alpine hare]

yep, and you can thank null for that

[steady osprey]

Ah. Did null say what he did in the story? I think he hid it I can’t remember

Story was very confusing I’ve done it many times and still have no idea what’s going on

[heady wyvern]

The current idea is that time moves slower for us than it does in the Atlas's "home" reality - 16 minutes for it is an inconceivably long time for those of us in the Simulation.

[steady osprey]

So it is actually dying

[heady wyvern]

Most likely

The Waking Titan ARG suggests it might have something to do with a supermassive black hole, but I'm personally not sure.

[steady osprey]

Is the atlas just like a big super computer or something

[heady wyvern]

Yes. It is the computer running the simulation that is the player character's reality.

[steady osprey]

So is every galaxy not actually another galaxy but it’s like a new simulation?

Since in the story it was like another creation

Resetting the old one

[heady wyvern]

Narratively, yes.

I'm fairly certain it's the Atlas believing that the problem lies within itself, and that purging the old simulation and starting anew would fix something.

Clearly, that has not worked.

[steady osprey]

So at the end of the story by resetting, all the characters are wiped from existence that’s why null was telling us to stop

And then nada knows that the universe has been reset multiple times but doesn’t want to hear about it when we tell them about it

That’s what I’m guessing

[carmine topaz]

That’s what I’ve noticed. This expedition is about cataloging, rather than some big elaborate story mission. A welcome change and yes, I like seeing NMS back towards its roots

[astral crescent]

I just digured it out. The atlas is a hyper map machine. It simulates everything in the unuverse, and the mumtiverse. So it can be used as a map.

[light vigil]

ah

[obtuse cove]

turns out you cant finish the purge using via portal to go to the center

[heady wyvern]

Yep. Common mistake in these parts

[opaque fulcrum]

Did my first pirate freighter battle and lost miserably because I had no fucking clue what I was doing
Would be nice if the squadron I invested in did something useful for once too in these battles but I guess thats too much work

Can the squadron AIs do SOMETHING that isn't "hover around me and get in my face" even if its just shoots at the torpedoes

I'm absolutely going to be salty about that shitty battle

[lost haven]

its a dumbass stress toy with a processor in it

[safe kiln]

Squadrons definitely need to do more than just sit around and look pretty, for sure

[pale iron]

What does the pet you get from the final expedition reward look like?

[eternal matrix]

So ive done the atlas quests and now it says "A new galaxy awaits" what do i do

[heady wyvern]

Explore the galaxy. The game is cutting you loose.

[eternal matrix]

But, whats next?

[heady wyvern]

Well, lemme list a few things:
• You might not have completed all quests yet. Starbirth, Under a Rebel Star, A Trace of Metal, etc.
• You may still wish to continue expanding upon your bases.
• You may still wish to accrue currency
• You may still wish to expand and upgrade your collection of tools, ships, etc

This is a sandbox game, at the end of the day.

[eternal matrix]

I just have "the space anomaly" explote the mew reality and New begginings "a new galaxy awaits" 🥺😔

Thanks btw, ig ill wanderer arround then, it is sandbox, u right 🙏

[surreal terrace]

Those are just the "you finished the story" quests, they'll sit there forever

[eternal matrix]

Ohhh

Then how i do i start the new ones?

For the robo race

[steady osprey]

Have to complete main story quest, must own a settlement to get the trace of metal quest and then you just find a harmonic camp on a dissonant planet.

And then the robot quest will start a bit later after those are all done

[eternal matrix]

Oh... omw to the settlement quest, thought it was a waste of time (nd had no money for it)

Thank you so much 🙏

[pale iron]

Do you have to finish The Atlas Path to start Echoes content,or just Artemis Path?

[crude sand]

Just Artemis, trace of metal quest and unlock a harmonic camp, then warp.

[pale iron]

Thx

[zenith perch]

There's been quite the interesting discovery

Seems there exists dialogue in the game files about boarding pirate dreadnoughts or something?

https://fxtwitter.com/NMSResources/status/1698169989881110840

[glass flare]

I would say that they put the dialogue in just to prevent a game crash if the game somehow hit that code path, but are "seize" and "demand tribute" new? don't ever remember seeing those options with normal freighters

[mental socket]

those aren't any options that appear in game as of now

[glass flare]

is there even a hangar bay on the Dreadnought

[analog breach]

On dreadnought. Yes

On pirate freighter . No

[sour fossil]

Maybe it's something HG worked on but opted out for the update

Just because it exists in text files does not mean is relevant

[uncut harness]

So, I beat the game right? Where does this supposed ||“void mother”|| come in?

[heady wyvern]

A future update or expedition event, we believe.

[uncut harness]

Ah

I kept seeing everyone talking about it so I was waiting for something to come up 💀

[heady wyvern]

Right now the void mother is kinda stirring in the background lore

[uncut harness]

I guess it’s time to get a bunch of S class ships then lol

[dense briar]

hello all I just made my staff do i make more from the recipes i learned?

[pallid steppe]

If you but the parts from the auto-camps then sure. Make a million of 'em.

[eternal matrix]

My suprise yesterday ^

[mental socket]

They're also elsewhere 👀

[mighty rampart]

I guess they probably didnt get the time to flesh it out, maybe they want pirate freighters to have some unique feature sets

[sand scarab]

So... What happens if I accept the Atlas Path? Am I locked out from the Artemis quest line?

[analog breach]

No. You can do them at the same time up to last missio.

[dense briar]

Hey all.
I just finished all the autophage quest but cannot select them

[wheat storm]

not in the appearance modifier?

[sour mountain]

Is there a fix for the Atlas Path questline staying in your mission log even after you've completed the questline (and unlocked Star Seed)?

[vast wolf]

Is this how all the expeditions are? Maybe the least fun thing I’ve ever done in a game

[sour mountain]

No, this one is more busywork than usual. They usually have a clearer story progression, too.

[uncut harness]

Don’t know if this belongs in here or the help channel but is there a reason to keep the sentinel drone you get in the Trace of Metal quest?

[leaden sun]

Hello

i need a spoiler about atlas

i refused atlas is there way to reset it or i need to start whole story again

[merry estuary]

Nope

[analog breach]

This type of expedition is best done really slow. Not rushing at all few tasks per day imo. I done it and it was ok-ish. My bigest issue with it was no unique tech u usualy get during expeditions and no significant reward like ship or cool trophy like base part.

[merry estuary]

No but why would you throw it away

[uncut harness]

I more meant throw it in storage

[merry estuary]

Thats fine

[leaden sun]

Ok after choosing galaxy i ended up in Eissentam

[reef dock]

does the decision regarding Artemis impact the story?

[analog breach]

You get diffrent dialouge

[vital sky]

i’m trying to do the Autophage quest where I salvage a ship. one small issue: there isn’t a ship at the marked area

[gray tinsel]

You can just salvage a random ship you buy in the space station instead

[scarlet belfry]

the player has died about 4 septillion times i think

according to iteration ariadne

i think thats the name

[sly zephyr]

In my case that’s actually true

[hollow pewter]

I presume the deal may be that one would need to acquire a full set's worth of Autophage parts before it unlocks in the wardrobe?

[signal rivet]

Yo I choose my galaxy after the purge. But immediately went back to my house without going to a space station. How do I get back to cool new world?

[heady wyvern]

• If you choose Eissentam, one of the Anomaly's featured bases are there
• If not, you can try your luck and see if anyone else on the Anomaly rn has a base in the galaxy you left
• Or you can call for a StarCab (use !StarCabLink in #bot-spam for the invite link to their server)

[sour fossil]

Hey, I hope the question is okay in here. I just got the quest They Who Returned, flew to the marked outpost, talked to the Autophagy head.. but nothing happened? There is also nothing else around that camp. What should I do?

[uncut harness]

So I was wondering if anyone has completed the expedition and got the construct 'egg' and could tell me what companion it is (I'm assuming it's a companion) I googled it and it just tells me about the egg sequencer

[lavish panther]

wdym what companion it is?

[pallid steppe]

It's a little autophage head, specifically the disk shaped one.
It just floats around.

[dense briar]

Is there not a crashed interceptor in every dis system ?

I used the item and now it just takes me to normal autophage camps for last 3-4 systems now

[queen crane]

this go round i put artemis in the whatever machine, didn't expect it to be so creepy

[queen crane]

still scared of this one

[merry estuary]

Lore is fun aint it

[queen crane]

i enjoy

[somber lotus]

i just finished the autophage storyline--i feel like i botched it because at the end i tried to comfort the atlas or something and i feel like i should have defied it and been mean to it. are their consequences to those choices other then getting a different milestone title at the end of the quest? Also I feel like I didnt understand the meaning of the story. Also I don't understand any of the lore really. I just got back into the game after a long break and I feel like i dont remember anything and i never really understood it

[queen crane]

heyo go to "catalogue & guide" then "collected knowledge". then choose "the atlas" and "atlas interface"

it lets you go back thru all the previous dialogue

What's this about

[compact coyote]

thats interesting. They literally never post on instagram

[hollow pewter]

Is there any way to get back to the galaxy choice at the end of The Purge, even after completing it? I wanted to get to Eissentam without having to slog or shortcut

Like, TBH I expected to get plopped in front of the Atlas Interface for that the moment I got to the center of a galaxy, even if I'd finished the Artemis Path already

[calm zephyr]

u can see if anyone is there that would let u portal or join the starcab disc and request a starcab

[hollow pewter]

That's exactly what I mean by shortcut

[calm zephyr]

!starcablink

https://discord.gg/WgUdnbZJjh

[plain thicket]

Probably the most talked about interface. It was strange, because I was thinking each time you visit an interface during the ATLAS Path, it's like it presents itself as the different stages throughout its existence, and what it had gone through in the course of time leading up to the final 16 minutes. Just my own interpretative opinion.

The most obvious being how the interfaces look like they have metallic 'armour' put around them that looks like it begins to crack and break in the proceeding interfaces, like it tried to protect itself to no avail.

[queen crane]

then he become ~jelly~

[plain thicket]

I love the Black Hole looking interface.

I heard/read that the noises you hear when The ATLAS speaks are the noises it is hearing in the real world as Earth is slowly spaghettified, but idk how I feel about that. It's a cool concept, but I'd just say it is how it chooses to sound to The Anomaly.

[queen crane]

idk it's like a simulation in a simulation in a simulation and so on

and i gotta tell you, since putting artemis in nada's machine this time i'm going right back to my "actually, nada is the baddie" theory because. their dialogue is so sad rip

[plain thicket]

Not the 'real' world though.

[plain thicket]

Also interestingly enough, I've seen a lot about people saying this.

[queen crane]

@hollow pewter did u choose to reset or no ?

[plain thicket]

I love Nada too much though, and I wouldn't say they're bad.

[queen crane]

i mean "i happen to have this machine that does basically exactly what the atlas does. wanna put your friend in it?"

[plain thicket]

I wouldn't say that's bad.

It's not good or bad, it just is.

[hollow pewter]

Yeah, I already picked something else and got to a different galaxy. When I realized that Eissentam is actually the 2nd most populated after Euclid I felt stinted, especially since I expected to be able to go back to that choice again

[queen crane]

ah yeah, nope, it's a once per save kinda deal

[hollow pewter]

But it's looking like there isn't actually a way to do it over short of playing the entire game again from scratch

[queen crane]

now you're talking korvax 😅

[plain thicket]

I suppose.

I just think part of the point is that balance. It's not black and white.

[queen crane]

it's true, but at the same time, she is what my 9 year old brother would call "very sus"

[queen crane]

reset the atlas this time :) went to the blue "frozen" orb galaxy. still spooky, gives me the heebie jeebies

Can somebody explain how I can progress: A new galaxy awaits - and - explore the new reality? because I somehow don’t do it

[heady wyvern]

This is the end state of the quest line. You've been cut loose.

[agile vessel]

So the quests don’t progress further right now?

[signal rivet]

Atlas does entire realities though, I thought Nadas only does one? Besides, you’re the one choosing

[mental socket]

You will get more quests that happen after the "main" story

[merry estuary]

Youve reached the end of the questline, its now a sandbox game, tutorial is over

[glass flare]

weird to see a post like that and not have it written by Sean. I wonder if they're setting up some kind of #teamAtlas and #teamMother thing

[agile vessel]

How long should the await contact part of starbirth take?

[cedar minnow]

As long as it takes you to enter Pulse in your starship

[agile vessel]

Do I have to use the pulse engine?

[cedar minnow]

Yup

Just fly into space and then pulse for a few seconds

You'll get an alert

I'm doing the Artemis path to unlock the new content I'm at the first traveler an was wondering if Im close to finishing

[rich dust]

im stuck between choosing artemis' fate, its a hard choice

[safe cave]

It is. Ultimately I chose to kill her.

[errant socket]

I saves I think

[sour fossil]

New decals that will be available in QS shop

[spring dock]

What stuff gets locked until after you do the main questline? I really don't wanna do it but I also want more stuff to do in free roam

[analog breach]

Decals are cool but i would like more some traditional base parts. Maybe animated ones.

[sour fossil]

There are mentions of new buildable parts but they lack an icon

TEXTURES/UI/FRONTEND/ICONS/SPECIALSHOP/HERO1.COVEREDCRATE.DDS
TEXTURES/UI/FRONTEND/ICONS/SPECIALSHOP/HERO1.COVEREDSILOS.DDS
TEXTURES/UI/FRONTEND/ICONS/SPECIALSHOP/HERO1.CRANE.DDS

[analog breach]

Maybe its the ones that are missing in the catalouge

[sour fossil]

🤷

If you can provide a screenshot of said catalogue page I can check

[analog breach]

Give me few min.

Downloading patch

[sour fossil]

None of these items' ID refer to crates or silos

PIPESHAPE

WALL
CORNERPOST

ROOMFLOOR
WALLTALL
WALLCURVED

[analog breach]

There is also missing yellow crate . And gate

[sour fossil]

The 1st missing pipe item has the same properties as the pipe that is actually showing

Same name, textures, etc just different ID

So maybe it's a placeholder, or a duplicated item somehow?

[analog breach]

Yeah my bet is its placeholders

[spring dock]

So I don't wanna get a huge spoiler or anything but are the korvax and sentinels related?

I mean like are they allies

[pallid steppe]

Korvax used to (and some still) worship the sentinels, but that's about it.

[spring dock]

Ok, thank you for the information

[wooden trail]

do you get an infinte warp drive if you finish the main story? I cant quite remember but I remember you get something that makes traveling easier once you finish one quest line.

[pallid steppe]

You don't get infinite.
You can get upgrades for the drive, and use warp hypercores for quick refills, but there is no super-omega drive that you should grind the main story to get.

[heady wyvern]

The portal glyphs?

[wooden trail]

oooh, I thought I Remember something that makes traveling easier but alright, that's fine.

and portal glyphs?

[heady wyvern]

The sixteen things you need in order to operate planetside portals

You get them all near the end of the main quest line. It's not the only way to do it, it's probably not the fastest way to do it, but it's the most straightforward way.

[wooden trail]

and what do planetside portals do?

[heady wyvern]

They allow you to go to any planet in your current galaxy, as long as you know its address.

[wooden trail]

okay, okay. I gotcha. yeah, that's pretty cool

sorry for the stupid questions
