nms-spoilers

[gloomy isle]

How do people suddenly forget what comes in an expedition update, every time there's an expedition update 😂

Same happened with fractals

Same happened with leviathan

[subtle gorge]

Honey, they've teased features several updates before they launched before. That's not promising anything

[late tusk]

i think more so that they shouldnt of shown the space stations with the new ship because i think alot of people are thinking that it was supposed to come with the new ship

[gloomy isle]

Same happened with whatever came before that

[uncut harness]

both fractals and leviathan are cool

[subtle gorge]

Like, a lot of the shit from Endurance was teased as early as like March

[late tusk]

sean emojid and has been semi quiet since 🤔

[glass flare]

well they didn't say it was only an expedition. NMS updates have come with rich features + expedition before

[uncut harness]

i hope this expedition is rlly cool

[sand karma]

Why would they put the new ship in an expedition if you can get an unlimited amount of them in the regular game? That makes it absolutely not special

[ember heart]

Very odd indeed

[uncut harness]

Didn't you see that it hovers?

[gloomy isle]

A lot of people still acted like they were owed more content in those updates, unfortunately

I liked them personally

[uncut harness]

That is pretty true, and cringe

[late tusk]

you cant get it with out expedition anyway

[sand karma]

I mean, they usually give us a new ship type as a preview on Expeditions. Then add a new type to the game proper. That's how Utopia did it too

[late tusk]

well you can...

[glass flare]

why does the expedition ship need to be special? the content should be fun enough to play on its own without baiting us with a unique ship...

[gloomy isle]

This seems cool too. No one seems to be mentioning how it looks like we'll be progressing the main story

[gloomy isle]

Plus like

Atlas staff

[sand karma]

Lol no, people always go off about the rewards

[late tusk]

im waiting for patchnotes tbh

there has to be more than what we have

[cloud plume]

That’s what i’ve been interested in really

[late tusk]

i hope we get an armor set to match the helmet later tho :D

[sand karma]

It is a really good staff 😁

[uncut harness]

Yup me too, here for the drama, waiting for patch notes

[late tusk]

can confirm it really is a cool staff

[subtle gorge]

I mean, gamedev isn't a linear process. even if this is it, chances are they're still working on cool things. We just need to wait a bit longer

[late tusk]

yeah i know

[subtle gorge]

Look I waited like 2 years for Origins

[late tusk]

but with how it was sort of hyped up with an emoji i kinda expected more i guess

[subtle gorge]

I can wait a couple months for some fancy stations

[late tusk]

still strange sean hasnt said anyhting tho

[gloomy isle]

Pretty sure Sean said that expeditions are made in parallel with the major content updates anyway

[uncut harness]

im doing atlas path ill report to u guys when i find the item

[granite blaze]

what we got now is probably just a preparation update, maybe we'll see full update next month, or as some people say at summer

[uncut harness]

There is so much content in NMS. Stations probably make up a small fraction of it

[gloomy isle]

So it's not like we'd be getting anything bigger if there weren't expeditions

[timid mist]

prob wants to coincide with the actual expedition + trial version being available to maximize the amount of people who interact with that

[sand karma]

People treat NMS updates as if they've bought an AAA live service game season pass with a specific release window. Not like an indie company releasing free content for years on end. We'll get to the cool stuff. Just let them cook. 😉

[sour fossil]

Oh HG is cooking, trust me

[timid mist]

would be bad to announce it on twitter then have people looking for somethign that doesn't exist lol

[sour fossil]

There are some hefty changes under the hood for missions

[oblique igloo]

how do i claim a pirate freighter?

[glass flare]

all I know is I'm doing the Atlas Path to get this new item and it better do something cool, Sean-o

[sour fossil]

It would make 0 sense to do them if HG didn't plan ahead

[timid mist]

it is too bad that the new missions just seem like space station missions but harder to find for whatever reason though

[late tusk]

i havent even touched the atlas path since i got this game

[uncut harness]

Just more to find while exploring

Organically

[granite blaze]

it's always interesting to see how people find stuff that leads to next updates in game files, how much stuff did you find?

[gloomy isle]

Yeah I think it's just something for extra flavour now and again

[timid mist]

sure but if it's "hey can you kill 9 creatures and I'll give you 7 encrypted navigation modules" it's not very interesting I guess lol

[gloomy isle]

Also it kinda brings the other planetary aliens more in line with the autophage

In terms of interactivity

[summer hearth]

you gotta find one, destroy engines and cannons

then you can claim

[late tusk]

i hope we get "destroy 20 gek,vykeen,korvax (oir whatever) freighters for one

[timid mist]

they're all known at the moment

[uncut harness]

I rarely do station missions because I like walking on planets, so this well be fun for me

[timid mist]

that's fair, though the station missions usually require you to walk on planets anyways. Just don't need to break it up by returning to a station now, i guess

[late tusk]

please tell me there are piracy ones

[cobalt siren]

I gotta wait for another encounter so in the meantime im tending to the gooseberries (my unholy large farming complex)

[livid zinc]

Destroy engines then big guns and it surrenders. Then go inside

[timid mist]

it's these:https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSky_Resources/comments/1aqvd68/planetary_npc_missions_omega_450/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[cobalt siren]

Ill check out some of the planetary missions

[timid mist]

kinda copy/paste station missions with a couple extras. No idea about the rewards though, so could be decent

[livid zinc]

Easier to read

[timid mist]

thank you Mike

[uncut harness]

Buried treasure looks sick

[sand karma]

Awesome 😁

[uncut harness]

I love these

[gloomy isle]

Tbf there's actually a couple of new tasks in there that send you to newer or more out of the way stuff

Like the tendrils

[livid zinc]

I read they changed the Atlas missions? They now ask for your discoveries...

That's cool

[sand karma]

And Autophages can hold staffs now. Let's not forget that important change.

[native carbon]

Weee flying around my freighter

[timid mist]

yeah im glad it at least includes new POIs. Hope they also expand station stuff with that. Though might be okay to keep them different, give another reason for the planet ones to exist on their own

[uncut harness]

they give u one atlas word and 611 nanites

[livid zinc]

Hurry up xbox.....

[uncut harness]

611 lmao

16 reference obviously

[sullen shore]

So is the dreadnaught just another freighter now or can we finaly actualy have a fight with our freighter? Because before the freighter was just a mobile base.

[sand karma]

Hiiii Atlas 👉👈 so this is my toxic planet called Reddit 🙃 hope you like it 😁

[livid zinc]

It does fire but folks said no damage

Jerico

[sullen shore]

well other freighters also fire but they can only be spawned so far away that the only thing that helps is a couple ships from 1 frigate

[uncut harness]

LMAOOOO

[gloomy isle]

I love autophages

They're chill af

[sand karma]

I like how mysterious Autophages feel compared to the other races

[timid mist]

hi atlas it's me eminem, here is my Hot planet called "coffee pot"

[livid zinc]

I want an expedition to build a scrap ship with the autophage

[uncut harness]

I love showing up at a POI scanning and seeing all those bots

i forgot they like to t-pose

[native carbon]

whassup atlas! Check this messed up creature you created, its pretty cool huh? named it silly goober, hope you like it

[gloomy isle]

Autophages kinda fill that niche of a more planet bound, almost nomadic feeling species

And they have a really interesting philosophy and a good sense of community

[livid zinc]

Remind me of cannibal robots

[sand karma]

Yeah, I like the nomad vibe as well. They are just kinda doing their own thing.

[uncut harness]

The one with the gun on their shoulder is always interesting

[sand karma]

This cannot continue. This cannot continue. This cannot continue.

[gloomy isle]

It's also pretty good how well HG set them apart from the other races. Especially since they cover a lot of bases in terms of alien tropes

[gusty stream]

Has anyone encountered any dangerous bugs?

I want to be wary for when I boot up the game later

[knotty mountain]

no bugs so far

[gloomy isle]

A question about the world of glass: so it's essentially where stuff goes when it's marked for being overwritten on a hard drive right? Like it's been deleted but the data is still there just inaccessible

[manic spruce]

Wonder if there’s still any chance for the new space stations if the update was accidentally released / pushed out early for some reason. Would be a shame to wait another 3+ months for that!

[summer hearth]

yknow what, the piratenought has no reason to have guns anywhere other than the top, because the top is where the shields are, and they need to be well defended

[native carbon]

watcha think

[spring hawk]

It's an archive for all the stuff that got deleted

[plain oasis]

Like like a whale with many fin

[sand karma]

Very dapper

[elfin arrow]

Still no patch notes, sus

[uncut harness]

Wish they would add some procedural features to the look of the freighters 🤓

[gloomy isle]

Aah okay so like that place where the pruned things go in loki?

[sand karma]

Honestly, I've always stuck with the idea that glass is just the computer screen. And the world on the other side our own.

[spring hawk]

not really, cause its also where dead people go, and the base of the sentinels, and where the Atlantid is, but sure

[sand karma]

Though, the lore seems to be more like, it's a place of data (?) I guess

[summer hearth]

spehss ship

[dense quartz]

I love custom wonders so much.

[short jolt]

I've not had a chance to try this out yet, but I noticed that they all have the same Staff in each Camp, and hold a different staff in each camp. I reckon that if you make the staff they show in that camp, it might come out decent.

[sand karma]

Nice! I like that 😁

[blazing grail]

Where can I find the patch notes?

[livid zinc]

There are none yet

[blazing grail]

dang

[livid zinc]

Only this

[sand karma]

Devs just celebrating Valentine's Day and sleeping. We'll get notes tomorrow.

[glossy siren]

my favorite new feature is hitting "H" to switch current active mission.

[sand karma]

That's a game changer tbh

[zenith perch]

I would probably expect patch notes to come out tomorrow or another day.

[uncut harness]

I used that to just show me what I was doing, not sure how I feel about that

[livid zinc]

Is that an option on consoles?

[stone gazelle]

guys i did my first pirate battle, freighter is b class, reload and do it again as normal?

[delicate ore]

something fishy here, there's usually WAAAYYY more activity from HG during a "proper" release

[stone gazelle]

aight bet

[gloomy isle]

What's the price range like on the pirate freighters?

[livid zinc]

It's valentines day and 21:14 UK

[sand karma]

With the free trial, they just have to wait for it hit all platforms yet. Nothing to communicate before that. And it's Valentine's Day as Mike said

[stone gazelle]

ill check next time i beat it gimmie 5

[livid zinc]

And no xbox yet

Not sure if we count switch as that's always delayed

[gloomy isle]

Xbox usually takes a while longer to they the update too

[sand karma]

Not sure if Switch would allow a free trial under their uhm platform rules actually. That's a good question.

[tepid iris]

Again everyone bringing up the "promise" of the anniversary trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r58VrNJxeeo

Beyond was announced in a similiar trailer in March and was released in August

Beyond showed The Anomaly redesigned

now instead we got a teaser of the Space Station redesigned

so it could be another update months later this year

And maybe there isn't a Beyond sized update anymore, but split over smaller updates across the year

[glass flare]

@dense quartz Okay so I'm at the final Atlas interface and refused, but I didn't get the item you showed. Do I have to select "Obey" first and then there's another chance to deny?

[livid zinc]

I was hoping the update dropped for all the singles over valentines 😆

[livid zinc]

They have trials there

[sand karma]

Free demo's too? That's good to know!

[uncut harness]

the atlas path now has dialogue on the last interface

they play a sound thats different as well

[sand karma]

Listen I read that as dark seed. And I was like the WAT

[dire drum]

Wow, so I’m seeing an actual reason to do the atlas path? Sweet

[plain oasis]

What is that from?

[edgy oracle]

i thought there was supposed to be an expedition

[sand karma]

There is, but they're still getting it ready. Probably tomorrow ish when all platforms are up 😁

[uncut harness]

i click deny the atlas

[tall charm]

it's kinda weird that even the expedition rewards already show up ingame, yet no expedition 😂

[sand karma]

Enpower. Hmm

[plain oasis]

Woah

[stone gazelle]

s class one here, 178 mil

[sand karma]

Oh yeah, we've had that a few times before 😁

[hard stirrup]

I wonder if I'll be able to do the Atlas path in the expedition and transfer the Mark of the Denier tech back to my main save that way.

[hard stirrup]

What does it do?

[tall charm]

never saw that, and I'm literally playing this game since release. Just missed the first few expeditions because I didn't know they did put something like that into the game 😄

[stone gazelle]

can i just check, all s class freighters wil have the same max storage in the end, right?

[sand karma]

You can start the expedition from your main safe. That's a new feature

[glass flare]

you can do expeditions from your main save now

[tepid iris]

That's how its always been

[uncut harness]

i installed it im not sure what it does

[supple hollow]

Now get discovering 🤣

[sand karma]

They've been slow with a few of them. I'm sure Valentine's Day didn't help 😁

[tall charm]

eh idk, I'm one of the "valentine's day is commercial bs" type of guy 😂

[plain oasis]

What does it doooooo lol

[glass flare]

i'm guessing it has to do with part 4 of the Echoes story

[lime storm]

Yo does anyone started a mission with telling atlas about planets floras and faunas and getting 600 nanites per atlas station? XD

[hard stirrup]

I'm well aware of that. You missed my entire point. My main save can no longer get that tech, but the expedition might. I want to get it in the expedition and transfer it back to main save.

[sand karma]

Ah that seems unlikely, but who knows, might be possible

[stone gazelle]

the pirate freighter will end up with the same max slots as any other s class freighter right??

[sand karma]

Haha fair, but I'm sure the devs have some partners who might feel otherwise 😁

[stone gazelle]

need to check before i buy please)

;-;

[plain oasis]

When did this happen? I literally refused the atlas 3 days ago lol

[sand karma]

Part of the new update

[hard stirrup]

Once the expedition is finished I would have the opportunity to go back to the anomaly to put stuff in the terminal that sends stuff back to main save...but at that point I could ignore doing that and doing Altas path or Artemis story in the finished expedition, get that tech and then go to terminal to send stuff back to main save.

[stone gazelle]

bruh

[sand karma]

Yeah, though I don't think we have any confirmation on the type of stuff you can send back

[glass flare]

i wonder if talking to the Autophage people with the Mark of the Denier installed would trigger different dialogue

[uncut harness]

update

[hard stirrup]

Well any tech you can uninstall and have in storage can be transfered.

[stone gazelle]

miki max level s class pirate freighter will have same slost as any other max s class freighter right

?

[sand karma]

Then that would probably do it, yeah 😁

[plain oasis]

That's some bs if you already finished atlas path lol

[uncut harness]

should be

[livid zinc]

I heard some items cannot be refiner duplicated any more...

[sand karma]

Nice!

[uncut harness]

yeah lol but eh

[plain oasis]

If we knew what it did too

Guess I'm starting that expedition on a new save and transferring street

After

[glass flare]

it's strange that they only decided to make expeditions playable from main saves now, when the Echoes expedition last year made us choose a "side" between Atlas and Void Mother, and it had no bearing on anything. missed opportunity there

[uncut harness]

im hoping that like the new expedition, u can get the recipe for the tech

[ember heart]

charges with nanite clusters

[uncut harness]

so u can get it in ur save

when youve done the path already

[shut iron]

Anyone done the boarding yet with the pirate freighters?

[sand karma]

Bearing on anything yet to be fair 😉

[ember heart]

nope

[sand karma]

Whoops, sorry for that tag. Discord be like

[livid zinc]

Would going to centre of galaxy restart it?

[ember heart]

I don't think so...

[plain oasis]

Yes

[glass flare]

well yeah, but i mean bearing on our main save. that narrative choice is stuck on our expedition save

[plain oasis]

I'm bored. Let me see

[stone gazelle]

it didnt give me chance to claim any pirate frigates..

[sand karma]

Ah right, that's true. Unless you only unlock the one item and don't do it twice, I guess?

[stone gazelle]

fuck sake

[livid zinc]

Did you destroy engines and big guns to make them surrender?

[plain oasis]

I've def got star seed and heart of what not in my suit

[dense quartz]

Dija figure out how to charge it? Cause I dunno how to use nanite on it.

[uncut harness]

i still cant figure out what it does

but i can see black holes in the galaxy map

so i think its an option to the star seed

[stone gazelle]

yeah i claimed and then they all disappeared before i had chance to get the frigates

bloody annoying

[uncut harness]

the thing is

i can see atlas stations in the galaxy map

[ember heart]

maybe if you click it?
instead of drag/drop

[livid zinc]

That's normal

[uncut harness]

idk if thats a thing now

[dense quartz]

It's grayed out.

[uncut harness]

u can do it?

[full meadow]

pirate freighters are buggy :/

[stone gazelle]

wdym

[ember heart]

weird.

[stone gazelle]

other than the fact as soon as i flew out it locked me out and tsarted shooting me

lmao

[full meadow]

well ignoring the fact that my own pirate freighter started shooting me,

[livid zinc]

You could always see atlas stations before but when the mission was active

[full meadow]

when i resummoned it, the interior part is like a normal freighter

normal hangar and bridge

not pirate dread hangar and bridge

[stone gazelle]

i prefer it that way

pirate one was a bit sloppy imo

[late tusk]

can we disable mission popups entierly

[lime storm]

What the heck how to unlock that

[livid zinc]

Do we still have the bug that if you arrive at a normal freighter attack and you try to dock with it they dissappear?

[uncut harness]

go to the very end of the atlas path and choose to walk away and deny the atlas

[gloomy isle]

Am I the only one that so wants to explore those big hallways in the background of the Atlas stations?

They look so big and mysterious

[stone gazelle]

ive tried many times

[livid zinc]

Would be funny if there was a paper unicorn there like at anomaly

[sour fossil]

I think I know what's the deal with the Mark of the Denier

[gloomy isle]

What is it?

[glass flare]

i understand if they want to delay the expedition for the free weekend, but it's odd not to at least release the PR video and patch notes beforehand, since the update is already out

[hard stirrup]

That has got to be a bug, you should submit a report to the zendesk.

[plain oasis]

What's the deal?

[gloomy isle]

Imagine the terror of discovering something like an Atlas station irl

Just entering an not knowing what it is

[stone gazelle]

anyone else noticced the earrape noise as you enter pirate freighter

[gusty stream]

What does the mark do?

[sour fossil]

It's a way to get the same rewards as in case where player would submit to the Atlas. If player choose submition to the Atlas, you get to submit Wonder data and get nanites / words of Atlas in return. If you choose to deny, || this interaction gets blocks but a new one opens. In that new interaction you "press the mark against the interface" to unload the Discovery data it has accumulated. By doing so player gets rewarded nanites / words of Atlas. You don't charge it with nanites, you charge it with new discoveries. ||

At least that's what I get from quickly glancing over the files.

[livid zinc]

I get that randomly with regular ones... goes to volume 1000

[plain oasis]

Ok that's cool. I guess

But I literally denied atlas 3 days ago on new save. Just switched to PS4 from switch.

[uncut harness]

ohh let me check

[plain oasis]

Too bad

[uncut harness]

by the way when u want to load a save when ur in the atlas interface it says that, thought its neat

[gloomy isle]

So you get to show the Atlas stuff out of spite instead 😂

[uncut harness]

LMAOOO

[sour fossil]

Yeah kinda

[hard stirrup]

Ahh...interesting. I still want to have it on my main save anyway even though I chose the other path and can submit discoveries to Atlas and will do my best to make that happen with the expedition split save that is tied to my main save.

[stone gazelle]

also the whole having to fly backwards to get in the freighter is gonna get old real quick

the antenna on the sentinel freighter was less annoying

[knotty mountain]

so how do you go about getting the dreadnought?

[stone gazelle]

40 warps, final one go to a pirate system and get into a freighter battle, damage pirate freighter to point of surrender, board and claim

[gloomy isle]

Is the mark purple by any chance?

[sour fossil]

Dialogue for the mark:

|| At the last, when the Atlas asked me for its final input, I had walked away. It led me down path after path, made me a constant source of data, a part of its endless algorithm. I refused to go any further. And yet, I find myself standing before it once more. What do I want to prove? That I still have the strength to make my own way? That I wear the mark of my freedom with pride? ||

Option: || Discharge the Mark ||

Result: || I feel the mark burn as I press it onto the Atlas interface. An energy flows through, a crimson magnetism that drags me inwards...I pull away. I have passed my own test. ||

Reward: || up to 620 nanites + 3 words of Atlas || ?

Fuck yeah level up by spoiling people

Alrighty since the update is on PC now

[uncut harness]

u get more nanites with the denier mark???

[sour fossil]

Who out here got a high end Nvidia card? Lets assume RTX 3000 or 4000 series

[uncut harness]

u get 611

without it

u get 620 with it???

my god big numbers

but ill check ill check

[uncut harness]

i seee

[sour fossil]

I assume the reward is proportional to the charge level of the mark

[knotty mountain]

also this is the spoiler chat lol, does the mark do anything?

oh is that all it does?

[uncut harness]

about to test it soon

[sour fossil]

I know it is but I wanna make people click the spoilers themselves

[rancid flax]

yes but why do you ask?

[sour fossil]

There are still folks who just wanna see what's the update about in general

Gimme a moment

[knotty mountain]

no worries

[hard stirrup]

Ehh..it's ok. But given the time investment needed to charge mark with discoveries and going to the Atlas it's still far slower than killing lots of sentinels and farming them for glass shards that give modules that sell for ~500 nanites each.

[knotty mountain]

is the only way to get the mark by starting the atlas path over?

[sour fossil]

Because if langauge files are to be believed

You can use DLSS Frame Gen and Nvidia Reflex Low Latency now

[uncut harness]

currently yes

i see no other way

let me check

[knotty mountain]

and the only way to start the atlas path over would be galaxy center right?

[sour fossil]

I think if you submit you get Star Seed + submiting Wonders interaction

[uncut harness]

uhh idk about that

[sour fossil]

And if you deny, you get the Mark + what I described earlier

[knotty mountain]

I denied when I originally did it the first time years ago, but I have the star seed

[uncut harness]

u can still get wonders

[indigo night]

that means what ?

[hard stirrup]

Rewards for submitting discoveried directly to Atlas without mark are comparable I assume?

[uncut harness]

i mean like the wonders thing in the log

[knotty mountain]

do you ever actually use the star seed or is it just one extra health block?

[uncut harness]

but i can screenshot the other stuff

[sour fossil]

Jesus Christ 3 pings in a row

[uncut harness]

sorryyyyyy

[hard stirrup]

my bad

[tidal ember]

NO WAY

NO WAY YOU ALSO NAMED YOUR FREIGHTER LONG BOY

[knotty mountain]

submitting wonders so far only gets me one word

and some nanites

[stone gazelle]

EMPTY ALL YOUR REFINERS BEFORE SWITCHING FREIGHTER, ANYTHING INSIDE WILL BE LOST!

I learned the hard way..

[sour fossil]

Frame Generation
Frame Generation boosts frame rates by using AI to render additional frames.

NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency
NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency and increases PC responsiveness. This option is automatically enabled if Frame Generation is on.

[sour fossil]

Then I dont know what the deal is lol

[uncut harness]

hmmm it doesnt seem to work as intended, its still gives wonders

[knotty mountain]

I have a max size dreadnought regular freighter, is there any reason why I should want a pirate freighter instead?

[stone gazelle]

looks diff, brand new

eh /shrug

[sour fossil]

Yeah looks to be the same

[uncut harness]

yeah

i still can submit wonders

and i dont see the new dialogue

[indigo night]

@sour fossil But it can not be assigned in the game ?

[uncut harness]

idk what the deal with it is

[icy citrus]

Yo, it's just an expedition

[plain oasis]

When you go to center of Galaxy new warp screen?

[sour fossil]

You mean an unfinished mess?

[plain oasis]

I just came from switch to PS4 so this might be old

[icy citrus]

The change there being...

[sour fossil]

Do you have a GPU that supports those technologies?

Cause my GTX 1660 TI Mobile can't

[livid canopy]

New ship just showed up on the anomaly, anyone know how to score one yet

[sour fossil]

This is why I asked who out there rich boi

With dem RTX high number goodies

[indigo night]

3070 ti .. not sure

[sour fossil]

Then I shall leave the google-fu to you

[uncut harness]

yeah idk the mark is not working as intended

[sour fossil]

Again, don't take my 5 minute research for granted

[uncut harness]

ill wait for hello games to finish the update properly

[rancid flax]

i got a 3070 ti laying around somewhere. what exactly did you want tested?

[uncut harness]

its bugged as well, since i can also get star seed recipe as well as the denier mark

[sour fossil]

If you can select DLSS Framge Gen and Reflex Low Latency in settings

I would assume in graphical settings options

[indigo night]

no you cant @sour fossil

at least not with a 3070 ti

[uncut harness]

it seems like the update isnt finished :'D

ill wait for them to fix stuff

[hard stirrup]

Now, hopefully this won't break the game but I am absolutely intent on trying to get the Mark of the Denier tech during expedition or just after finishing it before transferring stuff back to my main save and transferring that tech back to my main save so I have both Atlas Seed and Mark of the Denier at once! My saves are backed up so that if that makes my save explode I can recover.

[runic mesa]

Given that it's about 10PM in the UK now, I guess we're getting answers tomorrow...

[hard stirrup]

Yeah...possibly friday even, since this free weekend for all non-game owners is during the weekend.

[swift oxide]

when update notes

[hard stirrup]

Looks like not today...maybe tomorrow but could arrive as late as Friday since it looks like the expedition free for all promotional event HG is doing is intended for this weekend.

[uncut harness]

if ur on normal u can charge it

but option is greyed out

[rancid flax]

holy mother of nanites

[stone gazelle]

are you in anomaly rn

because theres two people here with bags exactly like urs

[knotty mountain]

nanites you say?

[hard stirrup]

Try what FriendlyFire said...discover some new stuff and see if that charges it. Maybe scanning all creatures on a planet and completing it.

[rancid flax]

very impressive

but with numbers that high people will start to question legitimacy

[uncut harness]

warped into a new system and it went to 5%

so yeah u dont charge it with nanites u charge it with discoveries

[glad palm]

Give me the patch notes please

[sour fossil]

We dont have them

[uncut harness]

my boyfriend has an impressive mold farm haha

dont ask

[sour fossil]

HG did not post patch notes yet

[hard stirrup]

110 mil nanites is almost certainly not legitimate lol. I grinded for a lot of hours and have 15 mil lol.

[rancid flax]

im sitting at 31k

[stone gazelle]

how do you get so many??

[rancid flax]

my other save has a lot more

not even unit capped 😦

[hard stirrup]

Runway mould farms and turning in a lot of food to the dude on the anomaly.

[dire drum]

They’re talking about nanites

[rancid flax]

ya so am i

[stone gazelle]

how does one farm mould

[dire drum]

With a mold farm

[stone gazelle]

how

who

what

[dire drum]

Find strange deposits on a planet

Make a teleporter 200u away

Harvest the mold and teleport away

Rinse and repeat

[stone gazelle]

you mean a wired tele or the terminus kind

?

[dire drum]

Wired

[stone gazelle]

gotcha

interesting

[hard stirrup]

Find a bunch of balls that you can mine for runway mold, set up a base and a short range teleporter that moves you a couple hundred u away. Mine the balls, travel through short range tp and back, mine again, etc. Then put stacks of 10k in refiners while you keep farming more runway mould.

[knotty mountain]

you can give the space station control atlantideum now? I don't know what it's supposed to do tho

[hard stirrup]

Only at Korvax stations, that's been a thing since last year.

[torn token]

atlantid multitools

oh, space station

[knotty mountain]

why

[sour fossil]

You could do that before as well

Was a thing added in Echoes

[rancid flax]

man id love to see what your save score is punkinpurple. basically a tool i made that rates your save with a points system based off milestone stats. would you mind sending some pics of your stat screens? i get real into that stuff

[livid zinc]

Xbox Drama? 😆

https://youtu.be/fw6ekmCCG20?si=0aKUlWyBbt9catsO

[hard stirrup]

All it does is give you a binary encoded message you can decypher for a cool bit of lore.

[hard stirrup]

Xbox has been slow to release NMS updates since NMS was ported to Xbox...not as bad as Nintendo but still bad if you care about getting updates as soon as possible...but really, people should be used to this by now. It's how Xbox operates. Complaints are better placed with Microsoft than with the game or Hello Games.

[uncut harness]

i guess if you have the mark you have to charge it to 100% before u dump it

[livid zinc]

Exactly 😆

Folks don't have patience

[stone gazelle]

i clicked the "need resources" gesture by accident, i got 2 billion worth of items thrown at me in an instant

[uncut harness]

its currently bugged since my bf has 2 quests now lol

[stone gazelle]

gonna have to not sell any of it

dont wanna be cheating my own gam ehere

[uncut harness]

each discovery is worht 5%

Time to use the hologram emotes, waving, and asking for resources at the anomly near the landing pads

system, landing on planet, animal, plants, minerals

all 5%

[stone gazelle]

@last zenith hello good sir i am the one sat next to you currently

[craggy heart]

what exactly did the update change?

[torn token]

oh wait, they extended the Atlas Path questline?

sick

[last zenith]

Ayo lol

[uncut harness]

this is the one that the current patch note doesnt say

[craggy heart]

i can land on pirate freighters?

[uncut harness]

u can deny it and it gives u a purple star seed

[hard stirrup]

And own them too, yeah.

[uncut harness]

yep

[craggy heart]

i just grinded 3 hours for an s class one 😭

[analog breach]

No official patchnotes on nms.com ,no update trailer. This update is a mess. Is Omega to big for hg to grasp?? 😆

[rancid flax]

thats actually pretty fast

my first S class freighter took 12 hours of reloads

[uncut harness]

waiting for my boyfriend to finish charging it to 100% and then i'll post what happens

[craggy heart]

okay

3rd reload

i got s class pirate freighter :D

[plain oasis]

I got mine first warp today didn't even have do that. I was happily surprised

[uncut harness]

looks like the entire discord is abuzz about the update

love it

[mental socket]

umm... so the mark thing has progress?

[uncut harness]

yeah ok u need to charge it to 100%

[mental socket]

heckie

nice

[uncut harness]

before u dump it on the atlas

[torn token]

ah nice

hmm... can you get both?

or only one?

[uncut harness]

u can actually get both

it seems to be a bug

[torn token]

oh neat

[uncut harness]

u have an option to interact with it again

and choose the other option

[hard stirrup]

I notice you have Atlas Eternal twice...my guess is you can also turn in discoveries to Atlas without the Mark?

[uncut harness]

its a bug

mission wont progress unless you interact with the interface twice

[hard stirrup]

Do you also have the Star Seed tech?

[frigid valley]

Nope

I don't

[spice gorge]

So the update is out but the expedition has not started / landed. I guess we don't know what else might be in the update other than the expedition, given that there are not notes yet. Again, odd sequence.

[craggy heart]

bruh i own the pirate freighter now and its trying to shoot me down :|

[uncut harness]

well u get the same rewards

but if you have the denier mark

u have to charge it 100%

instead of choosing between just one discovery

[hard stirrup]

We know a couple of bits like the new alternate end to the Atlas path quest, ownable freighters, and NPCs on planets can give you some RNG quests.

[glass flare]

I got the Denier mark, wish it didn't take up a tech slot but oh well

[hard stirrup]

It also marks black holes on the galactic map I believe. It's an alternate tech to the Star Seed.

[uncut harness]

but its worse because u only need one discovery for starseed but

the mark u need to charge it to 100%

[glass flare]

i don't have a need for black holes but that's helpful I guess

[wintry jetty]

I wonder what it means by take on the universe with a fleet of frigates in a dreadnaught capital ship? couldn't we already... do that?

[hard stirrup]

I think the reward for a charged mark is about 3x compared to individual discovery submission to Atlas so it breaks about even in the end.

[uncut harness]

no it gives the same rewards

idk

it seems like it did

[glass flare]

yeah it's just fancy copy for "you can have a dreadnaught now"

[sullen shore]

So how is the dreadnaught? Is it actualy propperly shooting and doing anything or is it just a different looking freighter?

[hard stirrup]

Oh...well that's no good. Mark should give you 3 atlas words vs individual submission 1 and nanites should also be about 3x.

[uncut harness]

it looks like a different looking freighter only

[uncut harness]

yeah exactly so it really isnt good at all

[crude sand]

Star seed doesn’t mark blackholes, completing the atlas path and choosing the correct option does.

[uncut harness]

theres two options now

if you walk away u get the denier mark

[sullen shore]

Very sad. Would be actualy nice to be able to fight with your fleet propperly

[crude sand]

Oh? So the bonus to that is?

[uncut harness]

it really is just a purple star seed

[crude sand]

Ah so has no bonus, does choosing to walk away mark black holes?

Well one plus player core health but anyway

[uncut harness]

i dont actually know the real update notes so i might be wrong

[uncut harness]

yeah

[dusky gazelle]

No xbox yet pissi g me off.

[crude sand]

Ah ok, so yeh essentially the exact same lol

[uncut harness]

yeah we got pirate dreadnoughts, cool exped stuff and a purple star seed this update

not bad not bad

WAIT

[crude sand]

lol I’m just keen for expo and pirate drednought

[uncut harness]

i want to know what happens if u feed the broken autophages

[crude sand]

When it releases to Xbox lol

[uncut harness]

does it do smth else

[spice gorge]

I never played thru the Atlas Quest -- maybe now's a good time. 🙂

[uncut harness]

alr gonna go do that

[spice gorge]

Despite being over 4,000 hrs in

[analog breach]

You get void motes and rep?

[crude sand]

Is it necessarily an alternative end of its the exact same option but you just get a reward now?

[uncut harness]

no i mean like, the ones next to the crashed interceptors dont do anything

but i wanna see if it does smth now

[late tusk]

:(

[glass flare]

I just did it too (for the second time). it was...kinda boring compared to the 1.0 script tbh. but hey shiny new item

[spice gorge]

I want to know what subtle changes were made to the code / game. Performance, gfx, etc.

[uncut harness]

theres some bugfixes

i can list some

[crude sand]

I bet Sean forgot to hit send on the patch notes

[spice gorge]

It is probably random, but I got quite a few amazing photos on the experimental expedition - atmosphere, vibe, etc. Some of the best I've ever taken in the game - in that week. I wonder if any sort of visuals (lighting, etc.) changed with the update that I was seeing in Experimental?

[uncut harness]

u can see activated metal now when u are scanning with the freighter

[timber forge]

The atlas keeps sighing at the planets I show him 😭 it's making all my exploring look worthless

[spice gorge]

Oh? Please do. And - how?

[plain oasis]

Any of you cool cats need credits?

[uncut harness]

missions that used to be on the ground base only now can be done in the freighter

[crude sand]

#nms-lfg-or-trades

[plain oasis]

Recent development... I'm a billionaire lol

[uncut harness]

well im just finding them out as i go

[rancid flax]

just reached 1 billion again myself

[spice gorge]

I know they supposedly fixed that altas head switch issue, though as of latest Exp (before the one that landed 3 hrs ago) it did not fix mine.

[uncut harness]

That's not new, I was doing this before the update

[glass flare]

only thing I noticed so far is the fog rendering near landing pads in the Anomaly seemed better. but that could be placebo effect

ground rendering seemed the same in the couple planets I landed on

[uncut harness]

it used to be bugged really bad though?

[timber forge]

I'm kinda lost tho, is the expedition actually out yet? Cause I got the patch thing but new game still says there's no expedition yet

[uncut harness]

or idk

[uncut harness]

Oh maybe, I have no idea. It WAS the first time I ever tried

[plain oasis]

Someone dropped 450 starship ai valves in my pocket

[rancid flax]

HOLY CRAP NICE

[spice gorge]

If you're new to the game - get rid of them.

[uncut harness]

Need a "First time" meme but with just surrounded by ai valves

[rancid flax]

or pass them to me 😛

[rustic haven]

Patch notes still not out?

[crude sand]

Nah

[plain oasis]

Lol I had 300 hours on switch. I'm on my 50th hour on PS4.... I'll keep my 4 billion

[spice gorge]

It's 11pm over in HG land

[crude sand]

So what you’re saying is, ur new

[rustic haven]

Also this is semi unusual, wouldn't this normally release with a proper announcement page?

[crude sand]

😂

[uncut harness]

The muisc when is different

[stone gazelle]

wtaf all my nanite clusters disappeared dfrom my furnaces

[rancid flax]

350 hours isnt exactly new

[spice gorge]

Liking it on PS4?

[crude sand]

I reckon Mr. Murray forgot to hit send

[stone gazelle]

i had 20k worth of runaway mould in there!!!!

what the actual fuck

[plain oasis]

Everything is amazing when it doesn't load in green

[stone gazelle]

nah thats bs hg

[plain oasis]

On switch a lot of textures would load in a bright green and wouldn't render. You would have neon green asteroids lol

[uncut harness]

it is more dreary

[crude sand]

Did you leave your refiners as in fly away, change system ect?

[spice gorge]

hm

[rustic haven]

Yeah because he usually has one in this format for updates

[stone gazelle]

i went to the anomaly and back

[spice gorge]

I do have it on Switch but have not played but a few hours on it.

And that was before the big Switch visual update.

[crude sand]

Gotta babysit those refiners like they are a newborn

[uncut harness]

Yeah I think they're still waiting to actually do that for some reason, maybe more content, maybe other reasons

[stone gazelle]

i never had to do that with the freighter refiners

they would always save the stuff in there

why all of a sudden ahas that changed

[rustic haven]

For some reason this somehow turns out not to be the full omega update lol

[uncut harness]

Time to get more mould

[crude sand]

Did you use freighter refiners this time?

[stone gazelle]

yeah i did

[tepid shard]

finally!

[stone gazelle]

and i came back and theyre all gone

[crude sand]

Interesting that the last few times didn’t empty them lol

[stone gazelle]

which has NEVER happened before

[stone gazelle]

why should it have?

ive gone system to system with stuff in those things and theyve stayed in them the whole time

[red ginkgo]

Odd, I've had several time where I forgot stuff in a larger refiner and lost it - ion previous updates. I haven't updated today yet

[stone gazelle]

why NOW has that changed

[stone gazelle]

the freighter refiners i mean

[red ginkgo]

Does leaving the freighter influence that?

[stone gazelle]

not usually

[carmine pollen]

It’s not a new issue. I’ve had stuff disappear from my freighter refiners for ages now across multiple updates

[late tusk]

one day gas extractors on freighters will work

[sand karma]

Yeah, that's been a problem since Endurance

[glass flare]

yeah it's an old issue, i've seen streamers lose freighter refiner contents

[stone gazelle]

i chocked the last stuff disappearing down to the freighter switch whihc was fair enough, but i didnt switch freighters this time i only went to the anomaly

[crude sand]

They generally require babysitting precisely because of this, so I am surprised they didn’t empty out, see if you can reload a prior save and that may restore the contents

[red ginkgo]

I've had stuff vanish when leaving the freighter and returning to nothing.

[stone gazelle]

i was in the anomaly for a while

like 30 mins

[crude sand]

It’s not that NOW it has changed it’s that something you did was different

[hard stirrup]

What kind of stuff? Base parts? Nutrient processors?

[late tusk]

i know its valentines day but its odd that sean didnt post his usual cowboy emoji or anything today

[crude sand]

Should have been a love making update

[red ginkgo]

Items being refined

I babysit now so that doesn't happen any more.

[hard stirrup]

Ah, yeah, been an issue forever. Can't go anywhere when refining.

[civic badge]

I'm not sure if this made it to live or nah (forgot to check) but you can no longer see the extra details of an unscanned (or unlanded) planet uploaded by other users. Like the Weather type etc

[stone gazelle]

usually my freighter refiners have been fine for that idk why they just all emptied

[crude sand]

As stated, refiners can empty themselves particularly the refiner rooms on freighters. but, generally if multiplayer is disabled, and you don't use a teleporter or warp out of the system, your stuff should be safe.

[hybrid pendant]

The way this update released compared to others is sooo weird

no trailer no mention of it

no tweet about it

nothing

[stone gazelle]

i knew that refiners on planets would empty but i thought my freighter ones were fine, considering its not happened before

[civic badge]

They aren't always empty, a lot of the time this is a visual bug and reloading or leaving the area and returning will allow you to see them again

[stone gazelle]

bet

[crude sand]

Another cause could be another player joining you insystem, the network synchronizes terrain and refiner contents, basically anything shared is made equal, by undoing terrain edits and emptying refiners

[hybrid pendant]

Iits like there was no update

[crude sand]

Freighter refiners and stellar extractors are well known to be unreliable.

Buggy most of the time

[prisma bloom]

was about to say just that @civic badge

[wispy kernel]

The update was just a burning memory.

[craggy heart]

can you own a sentinel capital freighter now?

someone on the anomaly told me u could

[crude sand]

Could always, I think you mean pirate dreadnought

[hard stirrup]

That stuff is almost certainly coming...but probably tomorrow or friday. HG have set up a free for all weekend trial when even non-game owners can play the game and this new expedition. That will take place this weekend, so trailer and all the rest are coming...just not today.

[stone gazelle]

may have been me, you may have overheard my convo with dread

[late tusk]

this

[stone gazelle]

no you cant, we were talking about freighter styles

the long thin ones are the sentinel style, but you cannot claim a sentinel one

[late tusk]

there are ones like it tho

[stone gazelle]

yeah what im saying

[late tusk]

but you cant take over the sentinel one.

which would be cool tbh

[hybrid pendant]

tbh i could consider this not an update but like a patch

[crude sand]

Would actually be cool ngl

[stone gazelle]

we were talking ab them because im stil not sure if i prefer the clean tier 3 sentinel dread or the pirate dread

[knotty mountain]

it's an expedition with minor changes/improvements

there have been so many others

[frigid valley]

Important question
Can you change dreadnoughts colour?

[hybrid pendant]

well it feels like more a patch than an update

[crude sand]

Did I miss something or you got some insight?

[hybrid pendant]

this is literally what most patchs do

[elfin arrow]

sean went to sleep guys

[knotty mountain]

it's an expedition update

[late tusk]

unfortunatley

[hard stirrup]

The Entitlement "DLC" given to owners and the promotional page made to appear inside the game have been cracked.

[glass flare]

patches don't get Sean emojis though

[crude sand]

Oh do elaborate

[knotty mountain]

it is the same as 11 other expedition updates before it, none of which changed the game much or at all, why did everyone expect different?

[hybrid pendant]

they dont but this really feel like something that could be a patch

its like when a patch added new exocrafts

[hard stirrup]

https://x.com/bomber_that/status/1757838450361798923?s=20

ThatBomberBoi (@bomber_that) on X

The upsell UI now, with all the text finally added. Looks like HG are gonna hold an open free weekend for people who don't own NMS for the whole expedition.

Twitter · Feb 14, 2024, 6:45 PM

[hybrid pendant]

its on the same level

i feel like before those type of stuffs would be like a simple patch not considered an update

[elfin arrow]

but guys heres the question, wouldn't having one of the biggest update makes sense to get more people trying out the trail?

[crude sand]

Oh cool that’s pretty nifty tbh

[glass flare]

it's definitely a weird one, and the features seem kind of random instead of something cohesive like Echoes update. I would say it was probably a bad idea to call it "Omega" because that made it sound big and important

[hybrid pendant]

no

[civic badge]

mo because they wouldn't get access to it, would be pretty overwhelming without the basics I think

[hybrid pendant]

dont call it anything

[crude sand]

Blue balling the shit outa people will.

[hybrid pendant]

just make it a simple patch

because it seems soo weird now with how weird the release has been

[civic badge]

I think they have the right idea, Omega had a super new player vibe to it, explaining a lot of the basics, opening this up for free to play would very likely entice purchase

[knotty mountain]

no it makes more sense to have a big update right after the free weekend, to encourage people to buy it

[elfin arrow]

ou that sounds even better

[hybrid pendant]

@elfin arrow that not before a few months

dont expect it before april

[knotty mountain]

you mean the next update after this? yeah probably april

at the earliest

[elfin arrow]

sounds about right

[hybrid pendant]

but it feels weird they showed us the space station interior back in december

it looked almost finished sooo

its weird that 3-4 months later its sorta done being developed

[craggy heart]

how is the pirate freighter that i bought for 60 mil worth 600 million now

[hybrid pendant]

there was a discount?

😆

[craggy heart]

xD

[glass flare]

perhaps there's areas of the new station interiors they haven't shown yet and are still working on

[hybrid pendant]

probably yeah

[dusky kernel]

interesting update, hopefully not the last like the name implies

[hybrid pendant]

its not the last for sure

[crude sand]

Last in their ARG story

Part 4 of 4

[hard stirrup]

Hello Games are probably going to nerf that but it kind of makes sense because you didn't really "buy" it as much as paid for repairs after you took it by force. So you didn't have to pay nearly as much as the whole thing is worth.

[knotty mountain]

I just hope the new space stations are smaller, having to run from one end to another takes too long

[dusky kernel]

now to deal with whatever they added to the atlas path real quick

[glass flare]

haha well i got bad news for you if you want smaller interiors bruv

[knotty mountain]

I doubt this is related to that at all

[full meadow]

The pirates freighters have random patches of random colors that can’t be recolored

[civic badge]

Probably visual, try revisiting the freighter

[full meadow]

The patches of colors are different for each system

[stone gazelle]

i fixed them

[full meadow]

What

[stone gazelle]

its in accent colours and try messing around with the stripe patterns

youll find that eventually they go away

for me i have the first pattern equipped

freighter base part didnt vanish, it looked like a frigate

my bad

[crude sand]

How so?

[full meadow]

oh I didn’t see that part of coloring

[knotty mountain]

I believe all 4 parts of the autophage story have already been accounted for

[stone gazelle]

neither did i to start with ur good

[dusky kernel]

oh cool I get to show the atlas pac man

[deft widget]

I’m wondering what the whole point of the new atlas quest line is

Kinda just show it stuff and get nanites or what

[dusky kernel]

do I have to do this over and over again or do I have to happen to choose the right one

[deft widget]

Or is it just something to make the atlas stations useful

[deft widget]

It seems very open ended honestly

Like showing discoveries at the anomaly

[wheat echo]

Howd you get the new expedition?

[deft widget]

We didn’t

It’s not live yet

[wheat echo]

Apparently you dont need a new save?

[dusky kernel]

if it's called atlas eternal, does that mean that the mission's always open and I can just show the atlas shit?

[wheat echo]

Oh is it not

[deft widget]

There’s a new pinned quest in the log called atlas eternal

[wheat echo]

Man it's been a rough update day

[deft widget]

I would assume so

[deft widget]

Only when you view it next to all the insane hype

People let their minds run wild and got upset when it didn’t meet their expectations

[wheat echo]

No I didn't keep any expectations, I didn't even know there was an update till like 2 days ago lol. I just want that new cosmetic

[knotty mountain]

the Crimson Web mission is unending at least as of now

[wheat echo]

I don't see it

[deft widget]

Are you on 4.50?

[wheat echo]

Yes

Did the update before

[mental socket]

also need to have completed the previous Atlas Path questline

[crude sand]

They have not.

[deft widget]

Yes that’s also a good point

[wheat echo]

I've got the new freighter fully upgraded and everything

[deft widget]

Yeah we still have the voidmother and world of glass and all that left to learn about

[deft widget]

Weird. Idk

[wheat echo]

What whats this? You need to finish atlas path?

[civic badge]

I have Atlas path too, I haven't doner the chain on my current file so makes sense it's a follow up that stops the restart when changing galaxies i think

[mental socket]

or don't you???

I have no idea

[wheat echo]

Neither

Again, fucked up update day

[mental socket]

I assumed the new atlas content was post-story content

chronologically after the old atlas stuff

that would be logical

[dusky kernel]

the atlas is different the third visit it seems for me

[mental socket]

just like the autophage stuff happens only after main story

[dusky kernel]

different interaction though? ....no.

[wheat echo]

They need to release the patch notes cos this is annoying now

[dusky kernel]

the log says "an infinity of possible worlds stretches out forever" so I can only assume it's an unending mission

[zenith perch]

was echoes 4th?

[subtle gorge]

Omega in this instance refers to the overall endgame I thinkt

[subtle gorge]

3rd

[wheat echo]

@subtle gorge they said it'd be going for a while atleat. Like till 2033

This ain't the last update for sure

[zenith perch]

echoes was 3rd no?

[dusky gazelle]

Just to mention one of my other admins on our Xbox club stated her xbox is updating nms. 13.35 gb. So Xbox is out.

[mental socket]

what are the rewards of such mission? What does the atlas offer?

[subtle gorge]

Endgame not "end of the game"

As in, postgame

[wheat echo]

Ahhhh okok

[dusky kernel]

at least words, which I have already learned all of

4th atlas station, let's see what happens

[mental socket]

hmm... seems pointless imo. Atlas words have no real use outside of the atlas path stuff

[knotty mountain]

atlas words and nanites

[subtle gorge]

The atlas stuff, fleshing out autophage missions a bit, feels like it's trying to beef up the post-game

[mental socket]

ooh nanites

[wheat echo]

Wait you have to go to the Atlas stations for the new missions?

[zenith perch]

Which region?

[mental socket]

those do have an use

[knotty mountain]

it's better than what the atlas stations did post story before which was nothing

[mental socket]

question is... how much nanites?

[knotty mountain]

around 600

[mental socket]

and the work required for that takes how long?

wondering if it's more efficient than other methods

[knotty mountain]

You can only do it once per station

So it's just the amount of time it takes to travel to a new one

[glass flare]

dunno, you have to charge up the item with discoveries. i haven't done that yet. but it's basically like an Atlas version of the tree guy in the Anomaly

[analog breach]

So need to visit 20 stations?

[dusky kernel]

someone already did it 20 times? did anything happen at 16?

[knotty mountain]

I don't have an item and don't have to do this, idk what everyone is talking about but I show atlas a wonder at every station, consecutively, no charging anything

I did like 5 in a row but then it said I have all the atlas words so I stopped because I figured there was no point

[glass flare]

hm sorry then, i thought the Mark of the Denier was necessary for the Wonder contributions

[dusky kernel]

my first 2 visits have had the atlas look like this, these subsequent ones have changed it to this

[uncut harness]

Is that big blue info pannel normal?

[uncut harness]

it just easier to see when u scan directly

wth is a Carite sheet

[dusky kernel]

old nms picture, same atlas core look

[uncut harness]

I disagree that they're the same, but alright haha

[dusky kernel]

well, same appearances as modern day atlas (cracked, crimson orb)

[wheat echo]

Whats this for?

[dusky kernel]

ok it's definitely an endless mission.

[rustic haven]

There's a bunch of varietys

[knotty mountain]

There are multiple different atlas station interior designs tho

[dusky kernel]

haven't got the others apart from those 2, wonder what's up

[knotty mountain]

How many times have you done it?

[uncut harness]

T POSING

[knotty mountain]

Gek Korvax Vykeen

[rustic haven]

The boys

[uncut harness]

just me and the boys tposing

[dusky kernel]

5 and the same results each time. that and the descriptions talking about infinity lead me to assume so

[knotty mountain]

So are they technically the "Atlas Races" if the autophages are not?

[uncut harness]

yes

[deft widget]

Atlantid

[crude sand]

Mmm yes T pose

[dusky kernel]

run, that's an A pose in disguise

[analog breach]

T pose is only canon

[uncut harness]

yesh

[crude sand]

I wish Microsoft would be good

Want to play oopdate

[analog breach]

I whish that update would be fully out for all

[crude sand]

Same, who knows how long switch will take

[dusky kernel]

feels weird playing an update before some of the higher ups

[summer hearth]

Just wish there was more tbh

[prisma bloom]

on pc when you hit h for hud it actually cycles through the things it shows now instead of having to wait for the mission to pop back up like when u have a chart or something on ya....pretty sure it did not do that before

[dusky kernel]

oh yeah they added a teleporter in the anomaly :( now I can't jetpack up the balcony like all the cool people

[crude sand]

Eh I’m actually satisfied tbh, this seems to be their pattern now, expedition then later a larger content update

Is the expedition available yet or is she still not active?

[dusky kernel]

I wonder what they mean by exps being playable for everyone

....and where to do it

[crude sand]

lol oh no and I guarantee I’ll jetpack right into it and get put all the way down the bottom

[analog breach]

Not active for me

[crude sand]

Damn they must be waiting how odd

[dusky kernel]

that's why I use teleporters in first person lol; it's instant, and it skips that little animation making it quicker

oh there's a thing by the vendor.. that wasn't there before

[analog breach]

Im waiting untill weekend starts with weekend mission.

[carmine pollen]

What’s the highest range freighter hyperdrive upgrade modules can get these days? Does anyone know?

[analog breach]

Its my deadline for exp start

[crude sand]

Totally unrelated but I hate being in third person, then using the analysis visor and getting the blinding white flash.

[dusky kernel]

you and me both

first person is my jam

[crude sand]

Upgrade module? 250

[carmine pollen]

Hmm that’s only 3 ly off from what I already have then ty!

[prisma bloom]

there is a setting for that white flash stuff i believe

to disable it

[crude sand]

All good, just remember if you do a quick google search for a derelict that has a hyperdrive module that is 250 you can farm that, the stat will not change in that system.

[crude sand]

I will look later, because it makes me feel like a celebrity on the red carpet with all them flashes

[carmine pollen]

Thanks! I’m probably not gonna worry about it unless I decide to switch freighters down the road. I’ve already got 5300 ly range that I barely use 😅

[prisma bloom]

its in accessibility options Flash-To-White-Transitions

[crude sand]

It’s real?????

[prisma bloom]

yes

[carmine pollen]

Yes

[crude sand]

Brother you fucking bet I’m turning off migraine starter

[dusky kernel]

they put the teleporter just out enough onto the balcony so that if you hold forward and smack into the wall while jetpacking in you go over it and don't get teleported

[crude sand]

Wow I’m so glad they did that 😂

[dusky kernel]

they finally removed those invisible walls by the balcony doorway too... wow I hated those

[crude sand]

I love concussion each anomaly trip

[dusky gazelle]

USA Florida

I'm in Utah and at work so I can't check

[dusky kernel]

even though the teleporter exists, I'd rather take banging my helmet against the top of the doorway because habits don't leave on a whim

[dense quartz]

I just noticed something HORRIBLE.
This update removed those amazing start menu clicking sounds. 😭

[crude sand]

They fucken better have not

[dusky kernel]

oh my god no loud noise

[crude sand]

First they remove polo’s cute ass scarf now click click

[dense quartz]

Right when you boot up the game and click with your mouse.. the amazing sound is just gone..

[dusky kernel]

it's quicker now, but at what cost?

[dense quartz]

Polo's scarf is gone??

[crude sand]

Ya been gone for a while haha

[rancid flax]

the hold to confirm also goes a lot faster

[dusky kernel]

new nms mandela effect approaching?

[rancid flax]

at least on the title screen

[dense quartz]

I spent MINUTES clicking in and out of the start menu just so I could listen to that click sound. I know it existed. ;;

[gusty stream]

Does the ||Atlas Eternal|| path have an ending or is it infinite

Don't tell me what just say yes or no

[dense quartz]

The hud says it goes on forever. 👀

I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT.
It's charged 25%... I have to refine stuff into nanites and put it in my inventory. I guess instead of taking those nanites, it charges this item instead.

Still have no clue what it does.

[viral geyser]

So what's going on with the update

It's out but hg haven't said a word

And the expidition is still not on

[dusky kernel]

oh yeah the atlas staves. how do those appear

[dense quartz]

Everyone is in the dark.

[dense quartz]

Expedition reward.

[dusky kernel]

ah

[crystal scarab]

is this update just an expedition??

[prisma bloom]

what did that new item someone was talking about charging come from?

[dusky gazelle]

All I care is that the Xbox has released.

[crude sand]

So what the beans does this little purple bitch do?

[prisma bloom]

ya that thing what did it come from?

[crude sand]

Atlas path, if you decide to deny

[dense quartz]

The experimental branch had some content in it that was unfinished and buggy.. and HG gave the impression they had no clue the content was in the branch.
Now the update is out and... it's basically THE experimental branch with the same exact unfinished buggy content. Except HG maybe released it intentionally.
It's a very weird situation.

[dense quartz]

No idea, I'll try to charge it and see what happens I guess.

I also think you can lock yourself out of ever getting it if you don't deny the atlas.

[prisma bloom]

hmm i didnt see the option to deny it

just asked me for discoveries

[crude sand]

Fingers crossed the purple bitch does something

[uncut harness]

i explained it before on what it does

[dusky kernel]

deny? as in walk away from the new star?

[uncut harness]

to charge it you need discoveries

[crude sand]

I hope not I literally went through all my saves last week and did the atlas path, I would be triggered if I am unable to access it

[dense quartz]

wh

[uncut harness]

and then u bring it to the atlas

[dense quartz]

Try selecting the atlas path in your log, you should be able to do the new stuff.

[plain oasis]

Something tells me no notes or expedition till Friday

Or tomorrow

[crude sand]

I is Xbox

[dense quartz]

But those are wonders, no? I don't think they're related to this item.
It says you need nanites to charge it.

[prisma bloom]

i must of did that i bet i never got the item just discoveries for me

[uncut harness]

no just any discoveries

[dense quartz]

It's real.. it took me trillions of years, but I managed to find the new mission type.

[uncut harness]

system, landing ont he planet

scanning animals

plants, minerals

it will charge it by 5%

[dusky kernel]

minor settlement?

[uncut harness]

when 100% u bring it to the atlas

[uncut harness]

i tried minor settlement and it didnt work maybe observatory

[dense quartz]

Oh wow it really is charging!
..Why does it say it needs nanites tho, and why give a grayed out option to use nanites..
Sean?

[uncut harness]

i love no mans sky

[mental socket]

Autophage missions repurposed. Clever

[plain oasis]

Cool

[prisma bloom]

oh so i bet the item gives u nanites when u turn in to the atlas?

prob almost the same type thing as if u went the other way and just hand in discoveries to the atlas?

[dense quartz]

Yeah, I looked for so many outposts and just found the first one.
Kinda odd that they're so random apparently.

[prisma bloom]

can someone confirm what u get for turning item in to atlas? was it nanites?

[dense quartz]

Yep, around 600 nanites

[prisma bloom]

ah ok so its the same thing just for if u deny the atlas or not

[glass flare]

yeah i think it was precisely 600 when i did it

[prisma bloom]

u get the same for just handing in discoveries to the atlas if u didnt deny it

but i think u get those per turn in

u dont have to do multiple things to charge it up first

[dusky kernel]

OK WOW the loud freighter sound is still here been a while heh

[mental socket]

These new NPC missions seem kinda silly. A little known fact is that random planetary NPCs have for a long time offered a few random missions from outpost raids to planting some plants.

Here's my encounter from a few years ago
#no-mans-sky message

it was a really unique experience. gave me fungal cluster seeds I could plant wherever I wanted. They had no base radius limit or anything

[dense quartz]

Yeah I only ever came across that once. It surpirsed me.

I just figured they'd all use the autophage system and make it much more common, or give us the option to help just like how we can do for autophage.
But with other NPCs I guess it's luck based?

[iron vine]

BRUH when I read board dreadnought I was hoping for like a proper boarding action

Not just them surrendering

I wanted to fight my way to the bridge

[dusky kernel]

I see it as they kinda just don't want to fight anymore since some random starship came in and completely disarmed their ship of firepower

[iron vine]

What even is the point of my 156k damage potential staff if I can't singlehandedly board a dreadnought?

[dense quartz]

Here's a question, why would you just let them surrender, take their loot, then blow them up, and get rewarded for that too?

[frigid valley]

You don't get any more reward if you destroy the dreadnought after taking pirates loot

At least I didn't got anything extra

[iron vine]

I wanted something similar to the Derelict Freighters

[dense quartz]

😔

[dusky kernel]

as much as I think the pirate ships look badass, I'm keeping my s-class venator. not throwing another 4 days down the drain trying to grind via shooting every dreadnought gun, shield, and hyperdrive over and over

[crystal scarab]

it feels like every update the past 2 years has been just expedition and combat lol

[frigid valley]

Just engine + shields and deal some dmg, they surrender pretty quickly

[crystal scarab]

still waiting on another visions-like update bringing more variety to planets lol

[dusky kernel]

oh it's damage, not just every gun. good to know

[gilded tusk]

With Light No Fire coming I dont think future updates will add much more

[dusky kernel]

also hey fellow toaster head

[obsidian wraith]

Given that there’s been a team working on LNF for awhile I don’t see them toning down development on NMS a ton until LNF launches

[gilded tusk]

They already have

[full meadow]

It takes like 30 seconds though

[gilded tusk]

Updates used to be massive, then the living ship update came and they got smaller

[full meadow]

Or just engines + anti freighter cannons

[glass flare]

i dunno, last year was pretty light on actual content updates, expedition stuff aside. we'll see what 2024 brings. but I wouldn't be surprised if they've moved over more NMS devs to work on LNF now that it's announced and they're in full development

[dusky kernel]

to shoot the ship, or reload the save, warp to the system again, and shoot the ship

[full meadow]

To make the ship surrender after encountering one

[obsidian wraith]

Yea what happens this year will determine whether development will slow down more

[dusky kernel]

...yikes the fps has absolutely tanked planetside. hope hg acknowledges it

[glass flare]

not seeing that on PS5

[dusky kernel]

ah, I still use a PS4 since it hasn't died on me yet

I can see the choppiness. looks like I'm avoiding planets

[outer wasp]

Idk if it's just me but trying to farm it has been inconsistent after reloading a restore point.

[glass flare]

my condolences. I used PS4 until 2022, even then the performance was getting real bad

[gusty stream]

Ps4 Performance is miserable at times

I dread the day I need to upgrade to ps5

[dusky kernel]

yeah...

[dense quartz]

I got it to 100% but didn't get this option, I only got to show it another wonder. 🤔

[analog breach]

Ps4 optimization lacks since nms gone multiplatform with nextgens

[frigid valley]

I guess you need to have the atlas mission with the mark selected in log menu

One mission is to show atlas one of your wonders, other is about the deniers mark

[dense quartz]

I only have these available.

http://puu.sh/K0XD2/8b059da790.jpg

[glass flare]

that's all i have also, and I have the Mark installed

[dense quartz]

Weird, I don't have that one..

[frigid valley]

And I have two atlas missions but I lost the new beggings

[late tusk]

i find it strange that this was the exact stuff that was on experimental

[dense quartz]

Yep, basically experimental build, but public.
Content sorta has a disjointed feel to it.

[late tusk]

agreed

guess we will know tommorow

[knotty mountain]

I'm hoping Omega refers to the end of expeditions and that they're sunsetting the seasonal model, it would be great to have the terminal in the anomaly let you do any of the expeditions whenever you want

[full meadow]

Has anyone found a pirate dreadnought with black bridge room / hangar room color

[knotty mountain]

I haven't even seen an interior of the new freighters at all yet tbh

[full meadow]

I still don’t know why you can’t recolor the hangar and command area of freighters

[knotty mountain]

Honestly the new freighter battle has fucked me up, the only thing I know how to do is run along the two sections shooting out the power cells for the shield

[glass flare]

I'm just glad that I won't have to start a new save every time. the worst part of the expeditions for me was redoing the early game grind over and over

[knotty mountain]

If I understand correctly, you still have to start over, it just doesn't take up a new save file, but I guess I don't know to what extent it resets you either

[glass flare]

the in-game patch notes say A new expedition system allows Travellers to join with bespoke provisions, favourite starships, custom Multi-Tools and return with loot and exciting rewards. so at the very least you can start with your existing gear hopefully
