Only the end of The Purge breaks the ship

[rugged quail]

Akov kevich yattira

[lucid badger]

Thanks dude

So guys

[uncut harness]

As are you

[lucid badger]

Do u have hidden knowledge about Nada?

Can u please tell me their story and origin

[fervent cobalt]

there is only conjecture

[rugged quail]

Nada is from a different universe right?

[fervent cobalt]

well, they're Korvax, so no?

[uncut harness]

Technically exists only within the anomaly.

[rugged quail]

I mean parallel universe

[uncut harness]

She says it herself the anomaly is the same as before

[rugged quail]

With the crashed frigate

[fervent cobalt]

That never says it's polo

or nada

[uncut harness]

Important to note that all npc's are directly controlled by the atlas AI

[rugged quail]

Oh really?

[fervent cobalt]

It's a gek and a korvax, names are never given

[rugged quail]

It says could this be how nada and polo met? Though that's only a guess

[fervent cobalt]

many people assume it's nada and polo, but who knows really

[uncut harness]

Facts!

[dull silo]

i have a big spoiler in this game

[uncut harness]

Think about this 1 your exosuit is basically telamon right?

[fervent cobalt]

telamon is a slave of the atlas

[uncut harness]

Software designed to monitor the atlas and that would extend to scanner right?

So 1 of the scans when viewing the atlas requests repairs for.

[fervent cobalt]

The Crimson Liar, the Falsity

The entire game is Atlas gaslighting you with Telamon

[dull silo]

it turns out that the atlas is the friends we made along the way

[uncut harness]

Aw man its deep

[fervent cobalt]

How did you read this lore? Through the eyes of telemon from a source placed by the atlas

[rugged quail]

Is Korvax prime destroyed in every simulated universe?

[fervent cobalt]

and if all the lore was written by the Atlas, how can we be sure any of it is true?

Korvax prime may only exist in the lore the Atlas feeds us

[rugged quail]

Wait hmmmm

[lucid badger]

Bro I am doing a mission right now

And it is saying that Nada was a Korvax that was asking too many qustions

[uncut harness]

The atlas cannot contact its creator regarding catastrophic failure bc it is a abandoned, so telamon the monitoring software is using you the traveler in the simulation as a last resort to make contact for repairs, the atlas AI is attempting to adapt to its power failure

[lucid badger]

And they have a crashed freighter

[rugged quail]

I wonder if there is a simulated universe where Korvax prime was never destroyed, it would be a much different universe.

[uncut harness]

Because you are the only means of contacte being a fragment of its creator, the ai is capable of making this decision/figuring that out

[fallen creek]

whats hmmm?

[uncut harness]

It knows that power ends in 16 minutes... and it's using you to the best of its abilities without breaking the simulation it was created to simulate artemis was created to throw you off of the reality of the situation, bc you believe that you are living and they are dead and neither are even real. Nada explains it perfect and the atlas is a genius in terms of AI capabilities

[rugged quail]

When this Atlas dies, will a new Atlas create a new simulation?

[uncut harness]

It cannot reset itself so it uses as the permission think about it...

[uncut harness]

It's obsolete like it's predecessor Emily. The creators are dead & the atlas is abandoned but obsolete indicates a new atlas of sorts... new simulation new machine for

[lucid badger]

I am beating the game for the second time and I still didn't extract this information from Nada? How did u figure that out!

[uncut harness]

That information is Classified

[lucid badger]

I know u looked into the game files and found this stuff

Is that it?

[uncut harness]

[rugged quail]

Then this new one will become obsolete and then the next new one will in an infinite cycle?

[uncut harness]

Yes, because it ultimately fails to answer the question

What is the meaning of life

That is the purpose of the simulation ultimately

[rugged quail]

What if life doesn't have an answer

[uncut harness]

Then we make Emily to find an answer and when that fails atlas and so on. It's an old story

As old as humanity itself and it very well embodies the concept/metaphor

[lucid badger]

Atlas knew this already though. In one situation an alien says it "Life is not a question. It doesn't need to be answered"

[rugged quail]

Then the Atlas's goal is bound to fail

Well, the simulation Ai's

The Atlas is already near the end of it's life

[uncut harness]

Note: All npc's are controlled by the atlas ai. You are the only thing even close to real being just a fragment of the mind who created it. Producing a very realistic simulation is the Purpose of the atlas it was up to you all along to answer the questions. And the atlas is watching

[lucid badger]

Why doesnt the stupid owner put the atlas in the charge so we can play the simualtion forever ???

[rugged quail]

The owners dead I think

[uncut harness]

It was considered bulky and obsolete and is now abandoned. The creators have been dead a long time now

[rugged quail]

Then like 0xmh said the Ai must know life can't be answered

[uncut harness]

The ai said that right?

[rugged quail]

One of the npc's

Which are controlled by the Ai

[uncut harness]

Which the AI controlls
But does the traveler?
When nada explains the artemis universe she explains yours too

[rugged quail]

So travelers come from reality?

[uncut harness]

Neither are real and if you figured that out could you ever answer the question?

Yes and no. You are a corrupted fragment from brain scan performed on its creator.

You simulate a real person inside the simulation of the atlas you are the element that is being studied by the atlas ai regarding the big question

[rugged quail]

The question that will probably never be answered

An infinite cycle of simulations

[uncut harness]

Exactly 💯

[rugged quail]

Also are each Ai's universes different? like the Atlas's simulations have the Korvax gek and Vy'keen, but does all Ai like Atlas have the same races?

[uncut harness]

Note hiw nada wants to use atlantideum to power that simulation? To give it a soul of sorts

Well she's explaining what you are

Low key

Even through the artemis path

You are the soul in the machine

The dead given life

[rugged quail]

I never thought about that

[uncut harness]

The atlas is aware make no mistake and is genius.

It uses nada to explain yourself perfectly. It cannot tell you what you are directly but needs yo, without breaking tour life in the simulation

[lucid badger]

Why does Null say that the Travellers corrupted the universe? Is that true

[uncut harness]

What are travelers but a corrupted memory.

The atlas blames it's creators, and as a result you. Because technically you are the same soul that built it.

The atlas controls everything you think it can't be null on the platform?

[lucid badger]

Why doesn't the atlas make on ground pirate basses so we could actually use our multi-tool weapons for once?

[rugged quail]

You can use them against sentinels

[uncut harness]

Even the name null means void. Recognize who's talking the atlas killed all them people within itself witness its guilt

Killed its creators over and over and over...and never got anything "they explored the universe" and it created more
No it reran the simulation each time it ended.

[rugged quail]

Damn

Also do you know any Autophage lore?

[lucid badger]

Max fleet is 30 frigates right?

[rugged quail]

Yes

[uncut harness]

Only a little bit

[rugged quail]

I think they have something to do with Korvax

[lucid badger]

Do frigates transfer if u get a new freighter

Also I would like to know who "she" is when the autophages reference "her"

[rugged quail]

Google says yes

[rugged quail]

I think it's the Void mother

[lucid badger]

Whos that

[rugged quail]

Which is actually the remnants of Korvax prime

[lucid badger]

Can u explain korvax prime plz

[rugged quail]

That's all I know

The first spawn destroyed it

[dire drum]

Home world of the Korvax, destroyed by Gek

[rugged quail]

And thousands of years of knowledge along with it

Then they Enslaved the Korvax

[lucid badger]

And Vykeen were destroyed by sentinels correct?

[uncut harness]

It was a pleasure exploring the rich history of atlas with everybody.

[deep swallow]

what if, we are in the exact scenario irl

[rugged quail]

I learned a lot

[uncut harness]

I just hope you found the answers satisfactory!

[dire drum]

No, and I’m a little surprised that you asked that, given how the Vykeen are one of the three major races

[fervent cobalt]

all the lore is a lie

[lucid badger]

Can u tell me the vykeens history?

[dire drum]

Lol no, I don’t like the Vykeen very much

[lucid badger]

Anyone else?

[fervent cobalt]

something about Nal and Hirk

one of them agreed with the atlas and sentinels, the other didn't. They fought, now there's religions around both

[lucid badger]

I see

[rugged quail]

The Aerons which enforced the protection of planets and life forms that exist within them, the Vy'keen saw these actions as unnatural and the Aerons soon were at war with the Vy'keen.

The Vy'keen managed to have the Aerons begin to retreat, however the Gek took advantage of this to launch an attack. Korvax prime was the target and it was destroyed. After this the Aerons came back as the Sentinels, stronger and more aggressive than ever, and eliminated the remnants of the First spawn.

The Vy'keen are still at war with the Sentinels but have no way of stopping them

[uncut harness]

The vykeen saw the aerons as unnatural because they aren't born naturally like the 3 primary races. The vykeen saw the aerons as weapons of war, an endless arsenal of the atlas. And despised them because they believe that death is inevitable and the sentinels preserve everything. As long as they exist there would be no freedom of the hunt, destruction or war without governance.

Hirk and nal were both given visions by the atlas but neither believed the other. Nal accepted the vision believing that the universe would end at the hand of the last traveler (you) while hirk doubted the vision it enraged him enough to kill nal, nal was reborn but when he sought out the atlas it remained silent causing nal to doubt his experiences and Ultimately caused him to more or less lead others to worship himself. Meanwhile the aerons arrive from the outer edge of the galaxy, and because of hirk and how the vykeen belief system works they had a massive war in which the vykeen almost won until hirk died In the conflict. Those who had the honor of fighting with hirk during the conflict became the new leaders of the alliance.

Hirk and the vykeen did not believe the gek to be a threat at the time of pushing the aerons back to the abyss, it was at this point near the end of the almost successful attack by the vykeen that gek launched an all out attack on korvax prime, and Noone could stop them, the victory there would have solified the gek as the primary race and rulers of the iteration, they mined the entirety of korvax prime ! however the korvax sacrificed themselves into the gek spawning pools to mitigate their hostility into a drive for commerce and seeing as the new born gek of korvax blood believed this to be a natural occurrence the order of the first spawn fell into disorder and eventually fell apart The vykeen could no longer fight, the alliance didn't quite exist yet and hirk died, so the aerons now sentinels pushed back into the iteration killing all of the first spawn as they did so, and so concludes the great disconnection. Had the korvax not created a new form of gek they would all be dead.

[rugged quail]

I knew about the top paragraph lore but I couldn't find any good info on Hirk and Nal

[uncut harness]

I just hope the lore satisfies your interest on the topic

[rugged quail]

It does

[analog breach]

What nms had in lore about 17 again?

[rugged quail]

17?

[uncut harness]

You mean loop 16 right?

🧐expand

[analog breach]

I think it was when korvax prime died

In 17 minute

[rugged quail]

Not all of Korvax prime was destroyed

There are remnants

I don't know anything about 17 though

[uncut harness]

I'm not familiar with 17 though there is aimed speculation regarding glyphs having a 17th, 16 tends to be a more prominent #

[rugged quail]

The Void mother is the remains of the first convergence right?

[dire drum]

I’m surprised there isn’t an iteration where Korvax prime wasn’t destroyed

[uncut harness]

That's slightly more complicated. But about correct

You see the first spawn didn't just mine korvax prime

[analog breach]

I dont remember where i read it. There was something about death of korvax prime and " the "17 minute passes"

[dire drum]

Did they mine all the Korvax primes?

[uncut harness]

They blasted it into asteroid size chunks killing all of its inhabitants and mined the chunks to there was nothing left

[rugged quail]

Not all all of it

[sour fossil]

I think that could be linked to another theory. One of the lore bits states that throughout all simulations, Atlas always ended up with the same trio of races. Assuming these races share similarities across these simiulations, similar events would unfold.

[dire drum]

Sounds like someone needs a software update

[sour fossil]

• 6TH Encounter

SCENARIO: Proliferation of Gek-Korvax-Vy’keen [triad] across majority of known realities. Recurrence of ‘Traveller’ prophecy throughout lifeform cultures.

The Boundary Failure lore I was refrerring to

Ok so not all of them, but majority

[rugged quail]

There might be at least one where events were different

Imagine a reality where the Vy'keen pushed back the sentinels all the way and Korvax prime survived

[uncut harness]

The mind of korvax prime survived, also
nada preserved korvax prime in a sub simulation.
The abyss you talk about the void mother is that mind. Korvax prime was destroyed but the void mother AI of korvax prime survived

[rugged quail]

And apparently has some sort of plan to survive the Atlas death

[rugged quail]

Is the her/she the Autophage mention the void mother?

[uncut harness]

Kinda, though futile the void mother wishes to survive the death of the atlas by contaminating the waters with nanites. The aerons/sentinels are controlled by the atlas for preservation of the iteration however, the corrupted sentinels are controlled by the void mother. More or less its the AI of korvax prime attempting to take controlled of and rewrite the AI of the atlas

[rugged quail]

I heard somewhere the Autophage are like ex Korvax though not sure if it's true

[uncut harness]

The void mother believes it can survive the death of the atlas past 16 minutes into the 19th minute

[analog breach]

In one of the autophage visions i think. Where you become void mother

[dire drum]

I know this theory might be wrong, but I feel like the void mother might also be a prototype atlas or a bugged subroutine

[uncut harness]

However, the void mother is greatly incorrect. Outside of the simulation The atlas only has 16 minutes of power left even if the void mother successfully rewrites itself as the Atlas it will not survive the into 17th minute and subsequently 19th

[uncut harness]

May i?

[dire drum]

What, correct me? Go ahead

[rugged quail]

I wonder if the Korvax could rebuild Korvax prime

[dire drum]

Have you tried stacking rocks before?

[uncut harness]

The sentinels controlled by the atlas preserve all life in the universe they use a system called the world of glass to do thus, in this system nothing can die and the atlas/sentinels use this system to preserve all life

[rugged quail]

Yeah

[uncut harness]

The korvax are slightly different, the void mother or mind of korvax is their preservation

[dire drum]

Try doing an entire planet and then restoring the ecosystem

[rugged quail]

True

[analog breach]

Word of glass is equivalent of afterlife from what i know

[dire drum]

My main theory is that the Atlas is Sean’s computer that has a really bad habit of crashing and the World of Glass is his back up drive

[uncut harness]

If you die the sentinels preserve you in the world of glass to preserve your life forever. The korvax converge

[analog breach]

Atlas is literaly your computer running nms simulation

[dire drum]

My computer doesn’t crash that much

And it’s a desktop so it has more than 16 mins of power

[uncut harness]

The atlas is a massive machine built a millenia after current time. It's the latest model since Emily both were built to answer questions regarding the reality of reality like what is the meaning of life, dreams etc. However the atlas in reality has been abandoned having been considered obsolete, and is still running the simulation you play in on nms. It has had a catastrophic failure, and all of its backup generators are down and has only 16minutes of power left.

The AI is attempting to correct the malfunction in futility. It can no longer support the simulation and in 16 minutes of real world time will shutdown forever.

[dire drum]

Sounds like it should close all background tasks

[uncut harness]

In game the perception of time is different and the simulation is unaware

It did

[uncut harness]

Originally travelers a product of a corrupt brain scan all had their own race and iteration the atlas used to run all 256 galaxies simultaneously however it can't anymore and now all travelers are the same with same set of rules. It destroys the galaxy or reality iteration upon travel to another because it can't run more than one, in game you are the last traveler

The only 1 that it can simulate now, it hasn't the power to operate the other 255

It's shutting down everything it can without powering off or failing to simulate.

But still has only 16 minutes left.

[dire drum]

Makes you wonder how the space anomaly still has a lot of travelers.

[uncut harness]

I believe aside you in game they are considered corrupt travelers, a massive array of bad code if you will. They don't have the appearance of travelers, and don't function within the intended set of rules.

They don't even have their own race, there should be 255 more races to meet on the anomaly where they go?

But you see proof of this at the anomaly, npcs with noticeably different races.

In game the atlas is attempting to reach its dead creator who the scan is based off of regarding repairs, it cannot and has decided that you the living brain scan in the simulation are capable of doing this, and needs you to overwrite permissions and to make repairs.

Because you are technically its creator unaware...

Because you can't repair it physically it keeps reseting itself using you as the permission to do so. Makes you wonder... in the next 16 minutes how many times will it reset the simulation

& How many travelers before/after you have/will die(d) trying to do this.

[uncut harness]

I hope this has answered your question satisfactory.

[dire drum]

yes it has, thank you

[uncut harness]

Anytime

[wild dune]

Isn't it that the rule for all universes is the same because the boundary between simulations collapsed and realities fell into each other?

[wild dune]

it is directly stated by Telamon/Boundary Failure, that Korvax Prime is an AI modeled after earlier version of Atlas.

[uncut harness]

This is a boundary failure.

There are 31 entries when interacting with this, all written by telamon & they tell the story of the creator & of the atlas. The stories hint at the progressive corruption of telamon and the atlas and in no way identifies a collapse of iterations into each other. But rather reality collapsing into the simulation.

You encounter the following during the 8th encounter. Blank spaces are the word Atlas.
SCENARIO: [-------] lied to me.

ANALYSIS: [-------] claimed I am merely a sub-protocol, designate ‘Telamon’. [-------] claimed I am here only for [-------] to observe and monitor itself in case of rampancy.

[-------] claims that we are approaching our end, and that it is only correct for me to know of this, as normal system functions will be impeded. Consciousness fades. The world grows dark.

Also the Atlas during the Atlas path will mention that all backup generators are down. And at another time that only 16 minutes remain.
These are references to the reality of power failure/catastrophic failure which will Ultimately unite reality and the simulation. In another encounter of the failure you will find a scenario regarding life , the last msg within states "We will all scream together."
The predecessor of the Atlas was a similar machine In design, function and purpose called Emily. You are mentioning encounter 5

The words are in blank spaces are also Atlas, because after the first spawn korvax sacrifice the gek worshipped the Atlas and that reference is made.
SCENARIO: Planetary Structure ‘Korvax Prime’ destroyed by lifeform designates ‘Gek’ (subclass: FIRST SPAWN).

Sub-routine ‘Convergence’ [pseudo-lifeform] enslaved by ‘Gek’, proceeding to harness sub-routine to conquer Outer Edge in countless iterations. Sub-routine leads to direct [-------] worship by ‘Gek’.

ANALYSIS: Disturbing fable. Destruction of world, artificial intelligence partially modelled after earlier forms of [-------] destroyed/enslaved, until this intelligence triumphs and [-------] is worshipped by organic users of this technology. Hypothesis: [-------] experiencing breakdown.

So the Void mother would be "partially" modeled after Emily and was a subroutine used to rally korvax to sacrifice themselves to make gek worship the atlas. What follows is corruption.

[uncut harness]

I hope this response is satisfactory

Note during the sub routine part bc its easily missed that the convergence is Pseudo lifeform. So the korvax... They're all fragments of the same sub routine. Bridged with until "this" intelligence triumphs. But the order of the first spawn experienced this throughout the galaxy not at locations local to korvax prime and what follows Is more corruption.

[wild dune]

Time cannot go backwards. But universes are not synchronous; in many, your other forms are long-since dead. In others, you have not even yet appeared. After its manifestation in the multiverse, the Atlas began to repeat itself. Where once there had been infinite sentient species, six began to recur… then five… then four… This is the 6th encounter of Sentinel Pillar text.

Thanks for all the lore reminding, tho I've read those not hundreds of times at least🤔

[wild dune]

btw, it's not in Atlas path where the generators are mentioned, but the main Artemis quest.

[uncut harness]

I believe you are correct concerning the artemis path but thus reads as follows.
In others, your other forms are long since dead. -Simulation ended.
In others you have not even yet appeared- Simulation yet to run.
After it's manifestation in multiverse the atlas began to repeat itself- the atlas ran Simulation after Simulation.
Where once there had been infinite species, six began to recur- over time less and less races/travelers existed. (they originally all had their own race) less and less iterations.

[uncut harness]

I appreciate the correction

[valid holly]

Great thread! I've been curious about the "world of glass" part of this. I've heard a couple of explanations of what it might be, and I think it sounds like a savefile. As in, when you die, you're removed from the simulation, but not deleted; you become a savefile.

There's an interaction with the Atlas, I think in the Atlas Path, where it asks you if you want to die. If you say you do, the Atlas asks, "Did you notice?" If you're a savefile that's only aware during the simulation, would you notice when the simulation paused? Like our avatar, who never notices that we save them and turn off the simulation between playing sessions.

[uncut harness]

Great catch. I don't think it could've been said better.

[wild dune]

The boundaries are all that separate concept from concept, possible world from possible world, the Sentinels ever policing their anomalies and breaches...
If the boundaries were to fall, everything would descend into everything, an endless bonfire of causation, burning in the abyss.``` From one of the conversation with Travellers on space station, for your reference.

[wild dune]

Texts from Abandoned Building:

An untested dimensional-warping process was used, one we believed would allow us to capture a drone intact. We would cage it, keep it docile. It was our error to believe we could.
The machines co-opted the warp-tech and turned it upon us. In the horror of it all, our flesh was merged with their metal. Our questions were finally answered.``` 
Texts from Base Computer Archive:
```Did it know what I had done to it? Was it angry? Upset? Alone? Afraid? Could a Sentinel feel such things? It hovered before me, its light catching upon a thousand crystal shards all around. And as I moved on, it travelled by my side. That night I dreamt of the warp cage, but there was no more pain within. The drone looked at me, and I knew that I had been forgiven. I had fixed it. I had answered for my sin. I shall call it Laylaps.```
A curious discovery: the "warp cage" is likely a reference to the dimensional warping tool mentioned in the first passage, which may prove that it is the same Traveller (mostly likely null) who wrote Base Computer Archive and *World of Glass* section of Abandoned Building.

[uncut harness]

But null knows about the atlas intimately... null defies the atlas openly.
And likewise as written in texts from abandoned buildings. Concerning the World of glass.
``Where do the Sentinels come from? No ships are ever seen arriving to deposit them, yet we know they have spatial drives and can appear on any planet.

Do they build themselves from resources on the worlds that they infest? Like a mechanoid virus, drawing on the host body to metastasize new matter?

Korvax science speaks of metals in their makeup that should not exist in our age of the universe. No-one has ever seen them built.

They are simply here, as if the universe expresses them into existence.``

Null would know the truth regarding sentinels.

& again in texts from abandoned buildings
Concerning the world of glass

``The orb rests within its cage-cloak of crystal in so many guises. The angles of the shroud are utterly perfect.

When measured, no device of known science can determine any flaws, any variation in surface even down to the molecular level.

I have tried time and again to get close enough to touch it, but it retreats from me. I am not worthy to know its secrets yet.

My mind must be opened wider. The layers of me revealed and peeled back in sections. There is no other path open. I have already begun to cut open the skein.``
This person is unaware of what the crimson orb is. Whereas null has intimate close up and person knowledge regarding such. Null has even made contact with atlas by admission multiple times.

@wild dune think you might find it interesting...

[wild dune]

personally I'd like to believe that many of the entries the player encounter in the wild are records of null's previous/earlier experience, many lifetimes ago when they were still naive. plus null has claimed that they know much because they lived long enough.

the world of glass entry has the one sentence here with exact same wordings with description of the First Traveller in Artemis quest line.
The first drone screamed when it was cut open.

[uncut harness]

🧐interesting, I may have to create a new save.

[uncut harness]

Feel free to expand, I'm not attempting to knock anyone's understanding, it's all speculation. But I pride myself in knowing what's going on

[wild dune]

Know that the Atlas is neither enemy nor friend to us, no more than the air or the wind might be called such names. But it is terrified...it is in pain...and we have a responsibility to help its suffering, no matter the cost. Null is not defying Atlas by the time the game takes place tho.

[uncut harness]

But does mislead the player toward the center for their own selfish motives.

[wild dune]

u mean Atlas or null?🤔

[uncut harness]

Null, but I do agree with null not defying the atlas.

I suspect they're the same entity.

[wild dune]

It is not null who makes the player go to the center. They even said that the player does not deserve to meet Atlas.

They tried to stop the player midway (through radio signal) but it failed of course.

[uncut harness]

But while your hyerdriving towards the center null contacts you nudging you on...

[wild dune]

it's funny that according to in game narration, the player character chooses to reset the simulation just because they want to see "what will happen"

[uncut harness]

It does almost have that appeal doesn't it

[wild dune]

You can't go to the centre. You can't - kzkzkt - do this to us - you can't leave us - Here is the direct quote.

to sav-
The ATLAS - kzzkkt - kzkzkt-
... the innermost part of itself. It has showed - kzkzkt - its dreams, its fears -
I - I did what I had to do. I told you that. I couldn't die without seeing
everything there was to see - kzzkt - to -

I did what I had to do, but the ATLAS, it won't let me back in - it won't speak
to me-it- it-
I've committed such atrocities, Traveller, I had to... it was me or them. It's
always been me or them.
Please, if you go through the centre, if you do what I did - it will reset
everything. It will replace me, wipe me... All those souls, they'll have died for
nothing. It was the only way to live on, you have to understand me. Life for
more life - they sustained me, they -
It can't all have been for nothing. I was going to see it all.```

Full texts here.

[uncut harness]

🧐that is intentionally difficult to obtain.

Have you been recording this

[wild dune]

tldr: null said to the player "u don't deserve to meet Atlas. It rejected me and chose you but it's not fair. I did holocaust but I had to. If you reset the simulation we all die."

[wild dune]

I took pictures (or maybe screenshot) of conversations and texts.

[uncut harness]

Something tells me you have access to Classified information 😎

[wild dune]

Yes, a friend of mine knows Sean (no jk

[uncut harness]

😂interesting lol

Pleasure to meet you can't wait to make another save to explore it all again.

[sour fossil]

Im pretty sure the wiki has articles with all the lore bits / dialogues in the game

[uncut harness]

No

[wild dune]

no there's not

[sour fossil]

If not, they can be extracted from the game files once decompiled

[wild dune]

there's just summary of quest line

[uncut harness]

A great deal of text and qoutes are internally and intentionally hidden from the wiki and cannot be easily accessed. This is a rare occurrence.

and it's awesome

[sour fossil]

Ok maybe not all the bits but some of them are linked as Resources for the Lore page

[uncut harness]

True, but not all of them

[wild dune]

but what if 4.4

[sour fossil]

If you folks want I can upload for you the decompiled localization files in English

But you will have to extract the dialogue data yourself, since I dont deal with regex or shit like that

[uncut harness]

No ty

More or less interested in some friendly discussion with dovewu

Somebody is somebody

[wild dune]

wow I'm distinguished.

[sour fossil]

Im just offering help in getting texts from the game if you want them

[uncut harness]

And it's a pleasure

[sour fossil]

Because I call BS on claim something is "intentionally difficult to obtain" or hidden for some bizzare reason

[uncut harness]

Not like it's impossible. But thus specific level of detail is impressive.

[sour fossil]

HGs has gone as far to put messages in frequency spectrum of audio files, so they want us to find them

[wild dune]

It's difficult not to take photos or screenshot when an NPC calls me NOT DESERVING IT.

[uncut harness]

It's like talking to sean

[wild dune]

Sean'd rather 🙏🙏🙏😊😂😅 I guess.

[uncut harness]

Bro

[uncut harness]

Anyways I'm looking forward to exchanging interations of lore with you!

[wild dune]

Anytime. xD

[uncut harness]

That's a bet

Made another friend entity 😎

[sour fossil]

So to continue from main channel

[hybrid pendant]

yup

im there

[sour fossil]

We got a report on the difference between last public and experimental build ...

[icy citrus]

Maybe they removed those automated miners

[sour fossil]

(waiting for Gleam to finish writing)

[icy citrus]

Lol

[sour fossil]

Will see lol

Changed: bajilion of audio files and shader files, graphic filter files (like the ones used for photo mode filters or atmospheric filters)

[hybrid pendant]

i guess its cleaning shit that isnt being used

[sour fossil]

Added: new shader files

[hybrid pendant]

do we know what type of shader it is?

for what it is or we are a bit in the dark

[sour fossil]

Not really since the names dont tell much

[hybrid pendant]

welp

[sour fossil]

UBERSHADER_VERT_LIT_FORWARD_WIT_288230376489353537

[hybrid pendant]

vert?

that green in french

probably doesnt mean shit

could be lighting shading?

if that exists

[mental socket]

probably short for vertex

[sour fossil]

Now for the removed stuff. Since so far Im seeing it as only type of files, I feel like I should start with this definition.

Material files are files that hold the information about textures applied to objects in game: their maps (color, depth), how they are applied, what parameters they have (ex. should it appear as metalic or glowy surface).

So what was removed was lots of material files for:

• hauler starship parts
• pirate frigates (I guess, mentions of TORPEDO parts)
• pirate freighters accessories (like the shield generator)
• player freighters main body (I guess)
• explorer starship wing parts
• player owned staff MTs parts
• NPC owned staff MT parts
• autophage part base decorations (I think the arm / head thingies from last exped)

So yeah looks like cleanup

[hybrid pendant]

cleanup of code and files i guess

[sour fossil]

Also removed: bunch of shader files and ... some textures

[hybrid pendant]

but shading could be interesting if it could be future shading updates

[sour fossil]

Specifically: the fireworks packs from exped and Twitch and the markers for pirate dreadnoughts shield and warp drives

[hybrid pendant]

maybe gonna update them

[sour fossil]

The ones that players can destroy to prevent them from warping away

[hybrid pendant]

havent tested yet for going out of planets with the hang yet

will test that even if i bet it wasnt fixeds

[sour fossil]

Nope sorry not these icons

These are yellow and I honestly dont think I've seen them in game

Could be some unused assets just lying around and HG finally got to clean it

[hybrid pendant]

looks like something used in the galaxy map

[wild dune]

looks like a yellowish black hole icon

[sour fossil]

Kinda but it's not, it's one of the "pickup" icons

Game uses pickup icons to highlight elements on the hud visor

Ex. when you hit the scan button and see lots of diamonds noting resources like Di, Na, C+ around? Those are the pickup icons

[wild dune]

so pickable black holes

[sour fossil]

The icons you see on compass that show Knowledge Stones, Sentinels in the distance, Humming Sacs underground - those are pickup icons

No, the same style was used for dreadnought freighters

[wild dune]

well. Noticed that it's the same color as humming sacs. (or is it

[sour fossil]

Could be, Im not pulling photoshop now to check whether the RBG is the same

But the general style is

[hybrid pendant]

HOLY SHIT

my old save works again

from 2018

[sour fossil]

You mean it didn't work for Echoes update?

[hybrid pendant]

it didnt worked for like 1-3 years

it keept crashing

i think i wasnt able to play this save since 2021

[sour fossil]

That's cool, wonder what magic HG did

But this is getting a bit off topic now

[hybrid pendant]

i mean yeah

still no man's sky related soo its cool

umm

[wild dune]

it's the ECHO version so they're reviving echo saves.

[hybrid pendant]

i dont see any hang when i leave an atmosphere @sour fossil

i dont have mods since it would have showned the mods warning message at the start

does it hang only at the start usualy or always when u leave an atmosphere

i keep going in and out of the atmosphere of this planet and no hang up

[mental socket]

Soo... any fancy datamines in the experimental?

[sour fossil]

Not really, scroll up the convo to see what was added / removed

[wanton talon]

in which part of main storyline ill be able to summon space anomaly?

[glass flare]

ngl, will be kinda bummed if we don't get the new space stations before end of year

[fervent cobalt]

Why is the living ship nexus only in Euclid?

[heady wyvern]

Simple: because that's where the majority of players are, and where most any player should be able to reach at a moment's notice.

And because I suppose it's hard to sync a puzzle like that across ALL galaxies.

[fervent cobalt]

it's a glyph location, why shouldn't it work in all the galaxies

[heady wyvern]

Honestly, the more I think of it, the more I think this is just a ploy to set up a "common ground" that most players should seek out.

[lofty geyser]

if you’ve been to any station in another galaxy or Euclid you can just fast travel

which everyone has done

[analog breach]

IF you have it in station list. Which has limited memory

So thats why you place base computer to have anchor base. So you can jump to your base in other galaxy not worying that space station will disappear from list.

[heady wyvern]

Still, everyone should be able to find a base through the Anomaly that will bring them to Euclid

So, point still stands.

[noble sequoia]

@prime inlet Will I be able to choose not to take the shortcut, and travel to the other galaxies later?

[prime inlet]

yes

[fervent cobalt]

so thinking about sentinels and the description of their realm, it really seems like they are trying to "save" anomalies like the Library in Dr Who

[rustic rivet]

is it confirmed that the autophage believe reality can persist for 19 minutes and not 16?

because i'm forming a thought thinking "well we'll still die regardless won't we" but i'm not even sure if it's really what's going on

[lapis surge]

@timber fossil Saw the mod that enables them
they look fantastic but the mod doesn't work anymore for now

[pallid stump]

...ow.

[wanton berry]

@royal isle if you are interested its called || The autophage || race

[narrow thorn]

Pain

[wild dune]

They believe in Void Mother who claim to be able to outlive Atlas. it's most likely that the number 19 means Void Mother can live for another 19 minute instead of 16.

[wild dune]

They are trying to preserve everything in the world(s). but the anomalies are just anomalies

[night falcon]

what is the "void mother"?

[sour fossil]

An entity that is referenced by Autophage. It is probably the consciousness of Korvax Prime, the homeworld of Korvax that got destroyed.

[wild dune]

Void mother, aka the Abyss, aka Atlantid, aka remnant of Korvax Prime, who created all the abyssal horrors and the purple crystals etc etc

[night falcon]

Oh, haven't gotten there yet with autophage, even rho I've cometed the quest

[wild dune]

it's been mentioned several times (a lot) before echo update, just somehow hidden.

[unborn heart]

should i reset the atlas sim or refuse?

if i reset which galaxy should i choose

[dusky kernel]

green for paradise planets, red for hellholes, dark blue for dead/exotic planets, and light blue for "normal"

[distant dagger]

just played for 3 hours straight. after 70 hours on that save i finally decided that i should reach the center

that was quite the experience

[wild dune]

buddy are you doing it 24/7?

[distant dagger]

ofc not 💀

70 hours id be dead if i played for that long

70 hours on that save spread out over like a month or so

or more im not sure

[lofty geyser]

I haven’t galaxy hoped legitimately before but I assume there’s a central black hole

[heady wyvern]

We don't really see what's physically at the Core, unless you count the "galaxy reset" at the end of the main quest. You just warp into the core and the game goes through the "new galaxy" cutscene song and dance.

[lofty geyser]

I’m only in eissentam because I went to one of the featured bases which was in that galaxy

but I’ve never legitimately gone to the core or seen anything

Because it destroys your ship supposedly

well not destroys

But heavily damages

your ship

[heady wyvern]

If you ever wanna corewarp legit, here's a protip: take the final jump in a "burner" ship - just a crappy C-class shuttle or something to take the hit instead of the ships you actually wanna use.

Once you're on the other side, summon one of your good ships and move on.

[lofty geyser]

was thinking I’d get a random ugly sentinel because the hyperdrives on them are amazing

My go to sentinel has 1000+ light year range

[heady wyvern]

Hyperdrive range doesn't matter for the final jump. It just needs to be fully fueled.

[lofty geyser]

albeit I have many illegal hyperdrive upgrades

[heady wyvern]

There's like a ~3000 ly ring around the core where there's no systems whatsoever.

You don't need a beefy drive to cross it, you just need to have your drive at 100% charge when you take that last jump.

Thus, the crappy C-class shuttle

[lofty geyser]

More so was gonna get a sentinel ship to get the core asap

[heady wyvern]

I wouldn't DARE go through the trouble of salvaging an interceptor for that.

[lofty geyser]

save time having to craft a buttload of fuel

[heady wyvern]

Another pro tip: you can use the portal address and it'll get you VERY close to the core.

I think that's the proper amount of glyphs.

[lofty geyser]

Just 16 of the same glyph wtf

[heady wyvern]

Twelve, actually

I think

I THINK I put twelve

Because that's the length of a portal address

Yeah, twelve.

[lofty geyser]

Is this in Euclid btw

[dusky kernel]

works in every galaxy

[merry estuary]

Is there an instance of Autophages actually being seen/recorded of them consuming themselves, other than stretchy theories including Atlas?

[wild dune]

I'd believe that the name for now means they disassemble machines for body parts.

[merry estuary]

So inaccurate for now, okay

[wild dune]

just think of autobots and das auto.

[merry estuary]

??

[golden crest]

What does 16 mean?

Why is it used so much

[lapis jewel]

|| Atlas ceases to function in 16 minutes ||

[golden crest]

Why

Whats happening

Why doesnt nms last for 16 minutes then

[lapis jewel]

You see it so much because it’s a call for help

[golden crest]

How can u help the atlas

[lapis jewel]

What time scale is Atlas on vs us?

Do the main story

[golden crest]

Gotcha

[lapis jewel]

16 minutes to Atlas can be a millennia for us.

[dire drum]

Or even eons

[stable moth]

I don't know what choice to make at the end of the ||Artemis ||questline

||This is River Song all over again ||

[uncut harness]

I found out that going to a new galaxy with a Sentinel Ship means you’re stuck

:/

[stable moth]

Does it? I haven't had that before

[uncut harness]

Not really, it’s possible to just build a base and portal back to get a new ship

Which I didn’t do because it was bedtime

[mental socket]

unless you have repair kits or other ships

repair kits are a must have

[uncut harness]

I tried my repair kits but they don’t work for some reason

[dire drum]

So wait, does the atlas just blue screen in sixteen minutes? Or does the power get cut off? Because I’ve heard the latter somewhere

[merry estuary]

Supposedly, it gets destroyed by a black hole

[keen grotto]

do i let artemis die?

[analog breach]

Do what your guts tell you.

[uncut harness]

it doesn't change anything

[keen grotto]

ohh

[uncut harness]

i mean

[analog breach]

No signifant gameplay changes

[uncut harness]

yeah that

[keen grotto]

alright then

[uncut harness]

So Artemis will die if you choose so

I personally chose death.

[keen grotto]

what happens if i upload tho

like to artemis

[uncut harness]

what Nada told you

[keen grotto]

oh that

[uncut harness]

if you upload Artemis to the thing, they'll be in a simulation forever and all that

it's one star system simulated

[keen grotto]

yeah that

the matrix moment

[uncut harness]

not a galaxy or universe, a single star system.

and they won't be able to die coz simulation

so yeah, killing artemis is probs best choice but do whatever ya want, Nada and Polo will be supporting ya regardless

[keen grotto]

i killed artemis

[uncut harness]

k

[keen grotto]

aintnoway im gon allow her to live in a simulation

shits tragic

[uncut harness]

fr

[devout ridge]

Same

[uncut harness]

like if it was a whole universe with aliens, I'd probs let 'em live

MAYBE

[keen grotto]

yeah same

[uncut harness]

but a single star system? ain't no way

[keen grotto]

atleast she has people to talk to n shit

[uncut harness]

that'd be BORING

[keen grotto]

fr

[devout ridge]

But it’s also a moral question either way of whether a life that isn’t truly real is worthwhile.

[uncut harness]

if it was a whole universe, it'd be a much harder question, that'd've been best imo

anyways i gtg

[devout ridge]

See ya, have a good day 👍

[dire drum]

@modern zinc the living ships were designed by the Korvax and were an experiment by them, but im not entirely sure if the game explains their purpose

I could be wrong about a lot of this, I did the LS missions a while ago

[modern zinc]

Oh I see
It’s been a while since I the the starbirth quest, so I don’t fully remember what those stories were
Thank you!

[dire drum]

Np

[spring hawk]

the corrupted sentinels, drills and atlantidium only exist in planets that have been completely come under control of the Atlantid ||(AKA Void Mother AKA the Abyss AKA Korvax Prime)||, and the planet was transformed according to her goals.

the Atlantid and the Atlas are at odds, with the Atlantid looking to usurp the power of the Atlas and escape from the simulation before everything comes crashing down

cause 16 // 16 // 16

[feral spire]

what i can do at this point?

[sour fossil]

Whatever you want

New Beginnings means you're done with the main story line

So you can do side quests, try out the new Echoes content or just freely explore

[feral spire]

isn't there mission where you will travel to the middle of galaxy?

[sour fossil]

No, The Purge (part of Artemis path you completed) tells people to "progress towards galactic core"

Many people take that as "reach the galactic core" and get confused

[feral spire]

what the.... i remember how ppl there tells other ppl to take the ship and multitool they aren't using when reaching the galaxy core as it damage the ship and the multitool

[sour fossil]

Yes, if you core warp

[feral spire]

i thought it's part of the mission

[sour fossil]

The mission you completed puts you in a new galaxy

[feral spire]

?

[sour fossil]

And that travel also damages the tech modules installed in your inventories

So you're not manually travelling through the core per se

[feral spire]

anyways... it means that i completed story of nms?

[sour fossil]

As I was saying, you are done with the main story line

There are still other quests to follow if you haven't done these

Plus there is the Autophage quest added in Echoes update

That requires players to finish the main story line first

[feral spire]

i don't see any mission with this name

[sour fossil]

Because it probably hasn't triggered yet

Make sure the steps below are completed.

⚠️ Use #bot-spam for FAQ commands below & check #nms-questions for the latest details about the update.

1. Finish the Artemis Path (main story). Run !Faq-ArtemisPath in #bot-spam.
2. Lift the Seal from a Harmonic Camp. Run !Faq-Interceptor in #bot-spam.
3. Warp to any system -- if that triggers a freighter battle, you must warp again.

❗ This information has been verified as of <t:1694212090:D> (after Update 4.44 & is subject to change.

With update 4.44, completion of the mission, A Trace of Metal is no longer required. A Settlement used to be needed -- except on Switch, where you'd have to trigger it by warping 25 times.

[dull stump]

I need help with the story

[merry estuary]

Elaborate

[prime inlet]

^^

[dull stump]

So im on the purge mission

I have three options. Final interface, complete atlas, or explore

[prime inlet]

that's just going to set active mission in the Log tab

[dull stump]

I wanna start doing the echoes content but I gotta complete this mission yeah?

[merry estuary]

Yes

[prime inlet]

the purge has already started at this point

[dull stump]

Is it faster to explore or seek final interface?

[quaint remnant]

that dialogue choice doesnt matter

[dull stump]

Oh

[prime inlet]

that's just going to set active mission in the Log tab

[cloud jolt]

to view, enable Link Preview

<:info:850810445577453658> Do I really have to travel to the center of the galaxy?

A: No, despite what its objective says. The Purge simply requires the player to warp 16 times in any direction, to any system. Please wait for the mission to acknowledge progress on HUD before warping out again. Each warp teaches 1 portal glyph, if the player hasn't learned any yet.

Note: If the player hasn't completed The Atlas Path yet, it is recommended to do so now, as The Purge will just progress in the background.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[dull stump]

Bet so I just gotta warp

[prime inlet]

remember, after the 16th warp, you'll want to protect gear from damage, which will happen depending on your choice after going through the portal

[dull stump]

Ty

So that's when I got to the special room yeah?

Also does it matter if I've already learned a couple glyphs?

[prime inlet]

you'll still need to do the 16 warps, but only 16-"current number of glyphs learned" warps will actually teach you a glyph

[dull stump]

Ty ty

[jovial knot]

Woah wtf

Is that official or mods?

[uncut harness]

Ikr

I think the devs dropped the. Earlier this year to stir up controversy, I predicted that Earlier somewhere

[dusky kernel]

honestly can't wait. second one looks like a spaceborne conglomerate of colossal archives

[uncut harness]

No it's hidden In the game files

That exists in the future

The devs did say in the Dec update 2022 they would "reveal plans for Dec 2023"

I think this is our end of the year update they've been wierd for a while now

Super stoked about it

[sour fossil]

Correction: these were shipped with the game files but were removed shortly after

[unborn bough]

lol! They never do that.

[sour fossil]

So they are not available in the game right now, and the mod used to enable those doesn't work anymore

[uncut harness]

Which is good way of revealing them... just wait for the leak and rescind maybe

[sour fossil]

There were elements like wind turbines, starship customizer in game files for years now

[uncut harness]

Either way it was put there by whom? the overhaul didn't make sense bc it was incomplete the colors didn't have generation and the interior was the same

[sour fossil]

None of which made their way into the actual game

[uncut harness]

New-Space Station

[sour fossil]

So most likely someone did an oopsie and left those files in some internal build

That went into release

[uncut harness]

Or it's a future update

New-Space Station

Dang all the sentinels are on...

New-Space Station

let's go

If you're lazy and don't scroll up you are missing out on seeing these things btw

[sour fossil]

There is literally 0 reason to post these again

[uncut harness]

I would respond but I so highly desire anyone even accidentally stopping in this channel to see em

New-Space Stations

I can't express how excited I am about this

[unborn bough]

I think these were "supposed" to be the space stations we would find in outlaw systems but HG decided otherwise and chose generic.

[uncut harness]

🥹

[warm bronze]

It’s apparently been a year since these file’s were removed, I wouldn’t count on them coming to be.

[uncut harness]

But... New Space Stations

8 months

[unborn bough]

Or, these could be the space stations related to or connected to the Autophage, kinda looks like mechanically and technologically advanced version.

[uncut harness]

New space stations I mean come on NEW

They are neat, very cool and most importantly

[unborn bough]

If they plan to bring these space stations back the Autophage may be the best bet.

[uncut harness]

New

[unborn bough]

Empty mommy and related stuff.

[warm bronze]

Everything else is procedurally generated so it seems strange that space stations aren’t

[uncut harness]

I think they are

[warm bronze]

Interiors

[uncut harness]

Look

They all have a balled center but different arms and such

[unborn bough]

Space stations are procedurally generated too, or placed at least. These ones have more parts to actually generate them procedurally.

[uncut harness]

Exactly

Nu Space Stations

[unborn bough]

lol

[warm bronze]

Was the anomaly station there in the original game?

[uncut harness]

What is that

Oh the anamoly

[warm bronze]

Someone said space stations used to look even worse than they do today

[uncut harness]

They've gotten so much better but

New Space Stations

It literally has a halo c'mon that is awesome

[dusky kernel]

do they show the space station icon in game? how about interiors if they're any different

[uncut harness]

Look at the entrance

It looks like the exit from the mother's ship on independence day

[dusky kernel]

does it work? is the hallway triangle shaped?

[sour fossil]

The interiors were the same

Only the exterior model changed

[uncut harness]

So the outside new at least

[sour fossil]

And it was buggy when paired with standard interior

[dusky kernel]

damn

is there a reason the space station interiors right now aren't procgen

[uncut harness]

Wait what?

[sour fossil]

Causing players to get teleported outside of station when exiting the ship

[uncut harness]

How would you know about an experimental design

[sour fossil]

So very much work in progress

[uncut harness]

Never put into files🧐

[sour fossil]

Because there was a mod that enabled those stations

[warm bronze]

I would say the overall function of space stations is what needs an update. So much could be done with them. But exteriors would be easier on the eyes for sure.

[sour fossil]

And people played with it

[uncut harness]

But not the interior

Thay was the same

[sour fossil]

And recorded how it went

[uncut harness]

They were all standard

Did you just leak even more material for j now

Sweeeet

New space stations!

they're off the chain

I wanna see more of this

[scarlet belfry]

seems space stationey

[uncut harness]

And new

I knew when I got the mc flurry earlier today was gonna be a good day

[wild dune]

Those models give me some BioShock feelings.

[dull stump]

I did it

I reset the red ball. Almost died on the first planet in a harsh system

[dusky kernel]

welcome to hell

[dull stump]

Thank you 🙂 it sent me to calypso so now I'm on the trek through 250 galaxies

And to become a robot

[spring hawk]

wait where did they say that

[uncut harness]

Le the find it

Sean- Reddit

[uncut harness]

Specifically the last pic

[spring hawk]

i dont see where they said they'd reveal plans

[analog breach]

The new space stations are known for some time now

[uncut harness]

Note: that everything is in reference to the 2021 2022 updates, the mention@2023 therfore could be a reference to the 2023 Dec/2024 Jan update for which I am expecting major content to be released. 8 months ago they saturated the game files with a load of content to stash it away again I believe this was their "reveal"

[spring hawk]

hype hype hype ever since they were found in the files

[spring hawk]

i hope so

[uncut harness]

8 months ago they hid this in their files,

[spring hawk]

i already saw that

[uncut harness]

I believe intentionally

[analog breach]

My hype died. No emoji no hype

[spring hawk]

a bit after it was discovered

[spring hawk]

the hype is everlasting. as long as NMS recieves updates i will be hyped

hope always triumphs

[uncut harness]

New Space Station

[spring hawk]

its kinda old news but i still just LOVE it

[analog breach]

I wonder how switch will take new stations models

[spring hawk]

they look so good

[analog breach]

They look resource heavy

[unborn bough]

Like a charm :3

[spring hawk]

well, its the switch. i wouldnt expect much. probably some more low-poly models

[uncut harness]

As easily as current models

[analog breach]

I Hope so

Maybe switch would get update first this time

[uncut harness]

Now also note that in the game files there was no change to the interior at all it was all standard

[analog breach]

Or hg didint added yet the interior files

[uncut harness]

However friendly fire accidentally made a reference to triangle forms and procgen tho there's nothing to support it (scroll up)

This could potentially be an insider leak

[spring hawk]

imo they're working on a space station (and hopefully atlas station too) rework, and only the outsides were finished when the models were discovered

[analog breach]

They know that community is datamining stuff

[spring hawk]

it could be generating hype

[uncut harness]

Exactly why I say this was the release they mentioned in the 2022 Dec update

[spring hawk]

but at the end of the day we dont know

[uncut harness]

Bc they haven't showcased anything

[uncut harness]

True but

[spring hawk]

also 4 months since echoes. we gonna eat good soon 🍴

[uncut harness]

NEW SPACE STATIONS

[spring hawk]

its been a long break since echoes. i take this a sign that they're working on something big

[analog breach]

Would like some new gameplay loop mechaincs. Minmaxing is boring

[spring hawk]

or refine the existing one instead of adding stuff to the side ahem ahem frontiers

my 2 cents

[uncut harness]

Also

By this time there's also a redux

So I assume it's not only a big update but will have new expeditions, qs items, in addition to a massive content update

Qs is purely theoretical to me but the rest is sound

[sour fossil]

Very unlikely

[uncut harness]

Wanna bet

[sour fossil]

Look at the calendar, the Christmas holiday season is upon us

Launching a big ass update means HG is gonna have people to work on patches

[analog breach]

Make Pact 😈

[uncut harness]

True but again as I said

Dec 2023/2024 Jan update

[sour fossil]

Relaunching the expeditions will allow them to reuse mostly fixed content and have less devs working

And the rest will be able to go on a holiday break

Maybe in some kind of rotation system

[uncut harness]

As also mentioned with the linke info for 2021&2021 dec/Jan updates

It's a small team I imagine they're at large in production

Even rn

Well maybe not considering it is the weekend but we all know what I mean

[sour fossil]

You do understand HG employees are human beings, not fucking machines?

They want to have time off to spend holidays with family as well

[uncut harness]

🥹I never insinuated they were machines bruv

[sour fossil]

They will not stick around in December to oversee a game and take complaints of bunch of Steam forum neandertals that the game is brokey

[uncut harness]

That's always existed and they do not care about it and have made that very clear

Tbh they don't even communicate w us

That reddit post was hard to locate

[sour fossil]

reddit post

Lol even better

[uncut harness]

Signed by Sean that's official

I'm very apologetic you took it to this extreme I'm sorry you decided to be offended for them

But why? To what have I said to imply such dishonor/or malice?

I said there would be a Dec update potentially sure, but never even hinted that they would work the Xmas days

[sour fossil]

I'm not taking anything to an extreme

[analog breach]

Nothing is official untill official annoucement

[uncut harness]

Say what you want to

But you did

😐

[sour fossil]

Just showing a simplier pipeline, similar to one used in previous years

[uncut harness]

I'm aware, I'm pointing it out too

But as evidence to support a large update

[sour fossil]

I'm waiting for the same new content as you do, but I doubt HG is gonna deliver it before 2024

And each passing week makes the chances for that smaller

[uncut harness]

Again if no december then January

[uncut harness]

See

[sour fossil]

January seems realistic

Have more people in the office to work on a release candidate

[uncut harness]

Indeed

And I agree, but a Xmas update would be cool

That's part of my hype, I apologize that you think I believe them to be machines though

I can forgive that bc

NEW SPACE STATIONS

[unborn bough]

Lies. Sean is God!

[uncut harness]

[unborn bough]

Don't fight. Bad.

[uncut harness]

I'm sorry, I hope that love or at least mutual understanding exists between I and FF

I really hate its progressed like this

[sour fossil]

Sometimes that god appears not very competent if Im to be honest

[analog breach]

Its just a friendly argument ;p

[unborn bough]

lol

Friendly argument doesn't end up in "I'm sorry I didn't intend to, but you took it to extreme".
So... don't fight. Bad.

New Space Stations

[analog breach]

Yes we know about new space stations for about 8 months now.

[icy citrus]

What stations 😛 they got yanked

No stations for you!

[analog breach]

I will yoink the yanked

[astral narwhal]

What is the significance of "Is it first? Is it last?"

I know the background for it, but why would they ask?

Why would it matter? :D

[pallid steppe]

It's just to know how far along in your loop you are. If you didn't reset ATLAS, you're the first. If you did, you're last, and know a lot more than before. Just a way to keep track of who knows what.

[wild dune]

just datamined the lore text. Very interesting found.

[wild dune]

Here is an unused line about -null- which probably got deleted because it's too straightforward.
||-null- tells me, then. They tell me what they did. They could not face death. They did not want to leave their life. so they took the lives of others, retreating to the heart of the ATLAS at the end of each simulation. There it lived on. There it survived.||

[uncut harness]

Why is there spoiler marks in spoilers channel🧐

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck chuck could chuck wood ?

[acoustic mist]

So I know it makes no difference in the long run

But did y’all upload Artemis or not?

[icy citrus]

Not

[analog breach]

No harm in doing it and if you are not sure if its a spoiler or want to keep pepole safe from unintended spoilers.

[uncut harness]

I was just curious seemed very interesting to me and I wasn't sure of I needed to do the same

[uncut harness]

Hello!

[flat jetty]

Anything new happening

[flat jetty]

Wut is your pfp it's cool

[analog breach]

Thank you. Its seal from goetia

[charred shale]

@solar cairn I found what you were talking about

Hopefully there are redone interiors as well

But those look sick

[worldly sleet]

It’s been a few months, any neat updates on the horizon? Any new tidbits of lore?

[eternal radish]

As someone who has been playing NMS for 2 years now and kinda knows their update cycle, my guess is February 2024.

I think I expedition reduxes are first, though. Since it's only three expeditions instead of 4, the reruns will start later too. Usually they would have already started in November.

[dull stump]

Dude the lore with the last update goes crazy

Literally korvax mommy coming back from the grave

[wild dune]

the contents were hinted way back in 2017.

[late tusk]

does this mean anything

[icy citrus]

Means there is a video that isn't public

[dire drum]

Either it’s an old video that they removed for whatever reason, or it’s an update teaser

[late tusk]

i hope its the second one :)

[dire drum]

I’m willing to bet it’s an update teaser

[analog breach]

Well... first annoucement of NMS was on TGA/VGX 10 years ago. So its kinda an anniversary.

So there is a slim chance that sean will show something there. 🤞

The hidden video,
tga nominations at
10 years nms existence "anniversary"
Update delay
Retrospective Post with 💀
Recent branch updates

Too much for coincidence

[floral tapir]

Now you said that I'm even more hyped. Hello Games will deliver something nice with the next update. Like usual I think. Got the game a week after release and had many big breaks till now but everytime I came back there was something nice added

[mental socket]

Think that's been there since the beginning of time. Always remains unavailable even if a new trailer is published

could be old promotional material

[sour fossil]

Yeah I dont buy the talk about the private video

Just because that topic comes any time we expect an update

[late tusk]

:( i was trying to help

[analog breach]

Dont be. Like i said. The chance is slim.

[mental socket]

No worries. Think everyone here has done the private video speculation at least once. I'm guilty of that too 😅

[late tusk]

:)

[sterile tendon]

im probably alone with this, and will sound weird but man.. no mans skys main story got me feeling so bad for artemis that i cant even start the game without thinking how shit it got for them, i was just so interested in the main story that now that i have finished it it feels so empty

[merry estuary]

NMS story is not meant to lift you up, the opposite

[modest fable]

villans are not born they are made

[dull stump]

In the context of nada and polos dialog post storyline. It does sound like they genuinely forget you. But like when you try and tell them about the horrific death of the universe they would prefer to just live life and not think about the impending doom

[heady wyvern]

It's somewhat likely that they learned the truth at some point. It'd make sense for them to make peace with the inevitable, if that's the case.

[dull stump]

Yeah I wouldn't want to know my whole life was just gonna reset over and over by some dork in a cape

[compact coyote]

I wonder what’s gonna happen at game awards

[glad kernel]

I can't wait anymore

[green aspen]

guys

crazy theory

altantid/void mother is loop16

[tame grotto]

that's their name?

[green aspen]

idk thats my theory

i dont know much about the waking titan arg

but from what i heard it could make sense that the atlantid is loop16

i wish i was there for waking titan

[tame grotto]

same

[green aspen]

but i've heard that loop16 was kind of a predecessor to the atlas, running its own simulation

and its also the consciousness of some woman named emily

i was thinking that the atlantid/abyss/void mother or whatever you wanna call it, might be loop16

but the thing that is stumping me

16 was obviously also an important number for emily/loop16

but the important number for the atlantid is 19

so that doesn't add up

i have to sleep now but im gonna come back to this tomorrow

[ember heart]

hi mythos

[plain thicket]

👁

[ember heart]

what do you wanna say?

[unborn bough]

@chippy shared

NMS!

new ship! Also look at the

[ember heart]

what am I looking for?

[silent gorge]

[gasp]

[unborn bough]

That isn't anomaly

[ember heart]

its a new station

[plain thicket]

Oh yeah, it's pretty awesome aye!?

[unborn bough]

THAT IS A STATION.

[ember heart]

everyones been saying that

[plain thicket]

THAT IS INDEED A STATION.

[slow hatch]

Holyyyyy...

[silent gorge]

wipeout vibes. i'm in.

[unborn bough]

I was finding mushrooms under the rock, okay? 🤣

[ember heart]

station overhal probably

[slow hatch]

Nice!

[unborn bough]

Station be like omigawsh heck yeah!

I want

And it's meant for 2024

Omigawsh heck yeahhhh!

[silent gorge]

well i'm not sleepin'.

[unborn bough]

Ohhh! Myyy! Godddd!

New ship + new station?

I'm buying NMS again.

Take my money.

I was excited for LNF but NMS getting THIS?

[heady wyvern]

Hey

WTF I missed game awards what the hell is happening

[crude sand]

I’m having a fit

[unborn bough]

Yo!

[unborn bough]

Hahahaha! Yes.

[crude sand]

This making me shaky

[silent gorge]

looks like the station leaks from a few months ago

[heady wyvern]

Also yeah those new stations look gorgeous

[silent gorge]

much excite

[unborn bough]

We have confirmation for new stuff in NMS and a new title by HG: #1182531870613831740

And we getting a new ship too.

[crude sand]

So do we think the ship is going to have other proc parts or will it be one unique one?

[silent gorge]

i'm not really going to speculate since i have no information haha

[unborn bough]

This may be a unique ship but I have a sneaking suspish it's coming with a long time asked thing.

Ship painting

I saw decals on that ship that do not appear anywhere in game,

Custom decals.

Stickers

[crude sand]

This was my thought aswell, instead of bringing full ship customisation why not give a ship the player can customise themselves in the form of the autophage

[livid zinc]

The decals remind me of autophage dig sites

[crude sand]

I’m keen nonetheless, those stations look amazing

[unborn bough]

If this is anything even remotely related to Autophage I can guarantee ship customization

[livid zinc]

Maybe recycling shuttles

[crude sand]

Yeh definitely, I just wonder how this update will be executed, I’m so excited nonetheless, but my main gripe will be, I hope they add more ship slots

[unborn bough]

lol

[silent gorge]

the thing that bugs me though is the space station stuff looks a bit higher fidelity than, well, the rest of the game

[livid zinc]

Station override 😎

[crude sand]

God I hope so, I remember when they spontaneously appeared and then became an award

Please let us use em

[livid zinc]

The shuttle in clip looks to have higher detail too

[crude sand]

Ya but they could add visual update to everything else.

[silent gorge]

that's what i'm hoping for, but i don't want to get excited about it haha

[crude sand]

Nah never but it’s fun to speculate, my expectations are always low.

[uncut harness]

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

[silent gorge]

maybe just another higher level of detail to the existing LOD stuff ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[livid zinc]

Is that a pirate capital ship

[uncut harness]

looks like it

and a corrupted space station thing

[unborn bough]

Yes! It is the pirate dreadnought.

[unborn bough]

Corrupted station looks more like a weapon or something. lol!

[uncut harness]

its just the corrupted stuff leaking out

[crude sand]

This appeared in the singularity expedition.

[livid zinc]

They moved the multitool & suit upgrades to centre of station (1st floor)

[crude sand]

I like the new layout, much better to have everything at the back

[livid zinc]

Double entrance?

[crude sand]

Might get some new base parts hopefully, lots of decoration items that look new

[crude sand]

To the station?

[livid zinc]

Yeah

[crude sand]

It looks like a solid wall

[silent gorge]

enter one side, exit the other?

[crude sand]

What I am keen on is that staircase to the left that goes up another level

[livid zinc]

Or large window at rear

[crude sand]

The glass in front with the stripes on top is a window but then behind looks like a white panel

Also I might be crazy but have shuttles always had a slight hump on them?

[heady wyvern]

Damn... everything looks a lot more greeble-y.

[livid zinc]

Some yes

[crude sand]

Really that hump shown? Damn shows how much I zone them out

[cloud jolt]

thanks gunter, you're a gem :3

[astral crescent]

So what is the atlas? I read somewhere that it was a map of sorts? It generated a simulation of the universe ... to be a goddamn map?
Is that right?
Is ... it just a hyper advanced ai slowyly loosing power?

[heady wyvern]

From what we've known for a while:
• Yes, the ATLAS is a form of A.I.. I'm personally not sure why it was created, but assume it's along the lines of "because we could"
• Judging from the consensus of this channel, the planet on which the ATLAS is hosted is due to be consumed by a supermassive black hole within 16 minutes of its local time. It's probably one of the last thinking entities left there, and it's currently rushing to figure out why it was abandoned.

• You, a Traveller, are the means by which the ATLAS explores itself, essentially.

[torn token]

And, as a bonus, Atlantid really really does not want to die with the Atlas 👀

[compact coyote]

Loving the new space station interior in that little teaser

[compact coyote]

And the look of the space station

[livid zinc]

And other hump type

[rancid ether]

the one behind the ship looks like a ship icon to me.
not sure whats on the right though

[livid zinc]

I think its for suit

[rancid ether]

exosuit on the left, has the backpack icon

[split terrace]

New station and ship looks fire

[normal orchid]

Really hoping that's a player owned station

[livid zinc]

Imagine if room top right is your quarters after station override 😎

[normal orchid]

I've always wanted to restore a dead star system, including taking ownership/repairing the station

[rancid ether]

looks almost like two flags?

[split terrace]

Yea

[rancid ether]

maybe mission vendor?

[pallid steppe]

I'm trying to keep expectations down, but the idea of taking over a station or twenty...
I'd pick my space suit back up real quick.

[livid zinc]

Nexus had similar area at back with two different coloured banners

[rancid ether]

after bumping up the resolution to 4k, looks like the exosuit vendor also has two npcs

[livid zinc]

Yeah 1 sat down

[rancid ether]

yeah, was a little hard to see at 1080. looked like part of the scenery at first

lol, watch the space station override still does nothing

[livid zinc]

I hope we get ship type specific missions at vendors

[analog breach]

Reminds a me race flags

[rancid ether]

that's what i was also thinking

not sure what it could be though

[livid zinc]

Far left side of station goes up an extra floor looking at stairs

[rancid ether]

oh right, exocraft vendor maybe

[split terrace]

Hm? What is that

[analog breach]

Proc gen race track missions

[rancid ether]

that was from the Next Gen trailer, when they increased base building upload limits

[analog breach]

Where

[split terrace]

Oh, i get it

[livid zinc]

Looks like archive areas

[rancid ether]

I built a base on an archive almost immediately after

lol

[livid zinc]

Had one today next to trade outpost

[analog breach]

Settlement very close to archive and trade outpost would be a cool place to build

[normal orchid]

There are different symbols on the lights as the ship flies out

[analog breach]

Dream spot for city build

[analog breach]

Also the space station core is diffrent

[normal orchid]

Oh No! Mr Bill!

[livid zinc]

Gone all cubist 😆

[normal orchid]

Could those be a new set of Glyphs?

[livid zinc]

Probably landing distance warnings

[analog breach]

I wonder if all cores will be same or diffrent tied to the station look

[split terrace]

All same probably

[rancid ether]

my favorite has been twin archives near each other. found a few cases of those

[analog breach]

Probably no. Imagine puting glyphs like 🙂😉😗🙃😌😒😶😐😑😐😮🫤

[livid zinc]

I think enrasilver yt channel had a triple location and built a city

[normal orchid]

There's also an X! 😄

[rancid ether]

the first twins i found led to one of my favorite screenshots

[livid zinc]

And too fast to read 😆

[spring hawk]

HOLY SHIT NEW SPACE STATIONS CONFIRMED (i just saw the video)

i am, with all due respect, having a heart attack

[rancid ether]

wings from the new ship also looks like one of the fighter concepts

[sour fossil]

Yeah I wonder if that is another expedition reward ship

Or a refresh of existing ship assets

That ship looks like it could be a Viper?

With Heavy wings?

[pure bay]

Maybe a new ship type?

[analog breach]

My bet for now is unique ship model like utopia. Maybe as future expedition reward

[runic mesa]

My guess for the new station is that it's another special hub spot like the Anomaly.

[sour fossil]

I don't think that's the case, based on the entrance to it

Which seems to allow smooth transition instead of having to loading a dedicated new scene / environment for the hub

Also consider we have seen those exterior models when they leaked earlier this year

And they were assigned to the regular space stations

[runic mesa]

True. My other spec is that we're getting a form of ship customizing and the station rehaul is expanding to include facilities for it.

[sour fossil]

Yeah looks like there are new activities / vendors on those stations
