nms-spoilers

[raw mulch]

So what. People wanted this. It's a new thing to collect that's also an excellent source of nanites.
It also gives something extra to do on planets.

[zenith perch]

It's not a bad thing to add tech from LNF

[idle prawn]

w8 for the trailer too see every feature they added

[zenith perch]

pt1 made origins and next look inconsequential and thats pretty impressive

[glacial terrace]

first fish

[noble geyser]

Is someone able to confirm if multiple people can get on the new vehicle or not?

[sweet stirrup]

I love fishing in games so much I'm so excited to find a pretty paradise planet and sit there for 2 hours catching the same fish over and over

[sullen topaz]

so we may have an another expedition before worlds pt2?

[glacial terrace]

me in rdr2

[native carbon]

jungle redfin

[zenith perch]

aquarias expedition

[pearl yarrow]

No Man's Sky is going to thrive even more thanks to Light No Fire!

[native carbon]

JUNGLE PLANETS CONFIRMED

[zenith perch]

Thank god it wasn't just an expedition

[native carbon]

lmao

[pearl yarrow]

that was my first

[glacial terrace]

omg that would be sick

[runic mesa]

I just want the patch notes posted before I start work lol

[glacial terrace]

jst a planet covered in dense trees

[sullen topaz]

or the expedition is gonna come with worlds pt2?

[glacial terrace]

expedition should be happening td or tomorrow

[muted moth]

omg first catch legendary: golden jellyfish

love it!

[zenith swallow]

Read it on your break.

[tribal ridge]

Whole?

Kill me.

[tribal ridge]

Yes.two people and a Martian dog

[sullen topaz]

where are patch notes btw

[trim dune]

it even looks ridiculous. Here we are in this sci-fi universe with advanced tech... and we are using a fishing rod. They could atleast made it more futuristic, sci-fi

[sullen topaz]

i think we may not get worlds pt2 till...end of september?

[zenith perch]

Why is this a bad thing? Genuine question.

[native carbon]

😭

[glacial terrace]

prolly in fall

[sullen topaz]

fishing is all about the calmness of it

[dense quartz]

I bet you wouldn't be against this if we had no idea LNF was even being developed.
Like back in 2019 when they were backporting LNF features to NMS lol.

[native carbon]

please we dont want to hear your complains

[lofty fable]

ships also react to weather when landed above water

[zenith perch]

What's ridiculous is you expecting every update to be this fundamentally game changing thing

[glacial terrace]

who cares go fish

[zenith perch]

Go mod the game you'll get what you want

[lofty fable]

stop being mad liozio

[zenith perch]

Who says I'm mad

[lofty fable]

let people have their opinions of the game

[native carbon]

Good stuff takes a good amount of time

[sullen topaz]

where can i read patch notes?

[pearl yarrow]

we went from riding horses across the Earth to landing on the Moon and we're still using fishing rods. Can't beat what works 🤷‍♂️

[umbral spear]

they aren't out yet

[zenith perch]

I love it when random users try to start shit for no reason 👍

[runic mesa]

Too bad we can't post the stop having fun meme

[umbral spear]

what I don't get.. where does one start?

[tribal ridge]

Wanting to die for not having faith in the final stages of this game?

[native carbon]

i know but the person allready told us their response like multiple times

[umbral spear]

I thought this was like an expedition but its not.

[fluid valley]

I notice some fish are here only day and some only night time

[glacial terrace]

i never realized how much the water actually changes holy shit this is so cool

[native carbon]

im ready!!!

lets go fishing!!!

[trim dune]

just because they added this stuff in light no fire, it doesn't mean that it will also fit in the world of NMS

[raw mulch]

Expedition, plus fishing. (As a new collectable, and a new way to get lots of nanites)

[glacial terrace]

i can see why they added this update

[umbral spear]

yes but where does.. one start?

[muted moth]

there will be one Soon (tm) based around fishing

soon could be in about 35 minutes

[umbral spear]

you went to the expedition terminal?

[glacial terrace]

the water they added in worlds part 1 is actually amazing

[pearl yarrow]

I feel like fishing rods would fit in the retro sci-fi theme that NMS is going for

just my opinion

[lofty fable]

something bad about this update is that you yet again have to enter a menu in order to apply bait in order to be able to literally just fish. Why does everything have to be done this way in no mans sky?

always a menu

[tribal ridge]

Fishing fish part I

[lapis tiger]

is it worlds part II or just a worlds part 1 and a half?

[pearl yarrow]

1.5

[sullen topaz]

1.25

[glacial terrace]

its fish

[umbral spear]

okay. again. Where did you go to START? 🙂

[dense quartz]

I love how the fishing rod has a keyboard on it.

[muted moth]

don't know if there are upgrades, that remains to be seen (sorry, I went to try out the new rod right away, heh)

[raw mulch]

Yeah, NMS is going for an old Sci-Fi Cover asthetic. I could see a poster featuring someone fishing on an alien planet.

[uneven heath]

I can't wait to dl ^^

[glacial terrace]

u go to the anomly buy the exostiff and then go to the multitool guy and get the rod

:D

[pliant aurora]

How long is the expedition for this one? Im thinking october

[sullen topaz]

how could fishing stuff be overlooked by data miners

[umbral spear]

oh good lord. heh

[sand scarab]

Wait what? Today is a 18.9GB update to add more stuff just to Worlds Part 1?!?

[sour fossil]

Simple, it wasn't there

[sullen topaz]

its laid back so maybe... a month

[fluid valley]

I really catch à fucking shark ?

[glacial terrace]

also i said this but the water in this game looks so fucking good thanks to world

i never realized it

[sour fossil]

With each update that drops we have difference reports between builds of the game

We know what files were added, we know what files were changed

[glacial terrace]

thank u shawn for forcing me to fish to see the water

[pearl yarrow]

I can't wait to drag my friends into NMS and fish with them!

[raw mulch]

Also yeah, the fishing's probably to get you to take a look at the water some more as well.

[sour fossil]

Nothing in previous builds alluded to fishing

It there was such a thing, BomberBoi would post it

[sand scarab]

Well, my home doesn't even have water on it so time to go exploring when I get off work!

[native carbon]

my home planet lul

[pearl yarrow]

looks cozy

[sour fossil]

Anybody know whether we can move / pilot the exoskiff somehow?

Is there even an option?

So far I see interacting labels only to access storage and customize appearance

[glacial terrace]

u jst place it on the water

its a water platform

[sour fossil]

Yeah but no way to move it

[sullen topaz]

i guess fishing is gonna be the new meta for making money

[glacial terrace]

yeah no way to move it

[sour fossil]

So if I wanna go into deep waters, I need to get there first by some other means

Alright coolsies

[analog breach]

Is the expedition live ?

[wind panther]

Worlds Part II is probably mid to late October, I would guess, then redux expeditions in December/January

[sour fossil]

Not yet

[sullen topaz]

nuh uh

[analog breach]

Ok

[pearl yarrow]

aquatic landing jets

[raw mulch]

Given a single S-Class fish gave someone 600 nanites for releasing it, it's probably going to impact the meta there.

[runic mesa]

They said the expedition will be chill, right? A non combat exped would be a nice change of pace

[native carbon]

YOOOOOO

[sour fossil]

Yeah new bobblehead, looks cute

And unique fishing rod I think?

[muted moth]

yep fishnig based

[sour fossil]

yeah actually that is the biggest deal IMO

[native carbon]

i bet we are getting deep oceans next update

like this update literally teases it

[sour fossil]

The game is able to dynamically change the MT model based on installation of tech

[trim dune]

terrain overhaul please

[sour fossil]

Modders are gonna have a field day with this

[pearl yarrow]

okay so how are the ⚱️ that Sean posted related to fishing?

[sour fossil]

(at least that's what I hope will happen)

[sullen topaz]

yeahh

[sour fossil]

It's the name, Aquarius

The pot is symbol for it

[zenith perch]

But you'll complain about that as well

[sullen topaz]

didnt we get that with worlds pt1?

[prime osprey]

Do the fish go in the grill

[pearl yarrow]

ohhhhh

[runic mesa]

The urn is the astrology sign for Aquarius

[glacial terrace]

fish fish!!

[native carbon]

also i wish we gonna see turtles, squids, octopuses in the next update, would be sick

[fickle coral]

so whats new?

[pearl yarrow]

that explains it

[trim dune]

no, it's the same rolling hilly terrain we have since NEXT(2018)

[fluid valley]

Not really, world was generation

[pearl yarrow]

whales 👀

[sour fossil]

Hmmm a bit pity we can't store bait in the cold storage on exoskiff

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if those are translated if you know the words

[prime osprey]

Any info on fish uses? Other than releasing for nanites.

Do they make anything in the nutrient processor?

[umbral spear]

maybe I am in the wrong place but I didn't see any construction plans for the exoskiff?

[sour fossil]

Its exosuit module

[native carbon]

i bet we are getting A LOT of new aquatic creatures and biomes in the next update

SHRIMP!

[sour fossil]

Talk to Selene at Space Anomaly

[spice cosmos]

i caught a frogfish 🥺

[umbral spear]

so the exocraft guy then..

[sour fossil]

NO

[sullen topaz]

FRUG

[sour fossil]

Just told you:exosuit

[fickle coral]

so we got a boat?

[wind panther]

You said exocraft 🙂

[gloomy isle]

Yo that shrimp is new

[sour fossil]

My bad then

[pearl yarrow]

the exo-skiff is a technology that has to be put in the exosuit. You need to summon it. It functions the same as the trade rocket

[native carbon]

SHRIMP ALFREDO IN NMS

[gloomy isle]

It looks like an ingame model too lol

[pearl yarrow]

bubba gump shrimp in NMS

[gloomy isle]

Yeah no way worlds part 2 isn't ocean themed lol

[glacial terrace]

i feel like its gonna be partly oceaned theme

[fickle coral]

so we got.. fishing?

[native carbon]

wait dats cool

[pearl yarrow]

wait that's the new cosmetics? God damn, they look 🔥

[sullen topaz]

yeah

[ashen geode]

Got the legendary Dragon Fish

[fickle coral]

weird but okay

[gloomy isle]

That shrimp on the poster next to the existing ingame models is 100% a tease lol

[sullen topaz]

space anomaly?

[stray slate]

oh wow, fishing!

[fluid valley]

The infinite loading didnt get fix on xbox, sad

[fickle coral]

so, fishing, we got a boat? what else? new projects?

[gloomy isle]

The shrimp itself looks like some of the newer creatures they've been adding too, like the beetles

[glacial terrace]

i feel like jst making it ocean based wouldnt be what sean wants i feel like worlds is prolly gonna be nms biggest update

[livid zinc]

Any changes to sea depth?

[fickle coral]

Wheres them patchnotes?

[pearl yarrow]

patiently waiting for them

[brazen lake]

It's that what the update is? Fishing?

[fickle coral]

understood

[fluid valley]

we don't have a boat. a raft

[native carbon]

chat rate my MT lmao

[fickle coral]

oh, a skiff, nice

[gloomy isle]

Every indication is that it's got a very big focus on oceans, along with lots of other stuff too

[muted moth]

eh it's boat-ish. have a look at it when you've got it placed

[tribal ridge]

Praise the fish or get lost

[brazen lake]

Oh I'm down, I'm ready to fish

[glacial terrace]

maybe there will be a worlds part 3 focusing on more of the terrain

[pliant aurora]

octopus from lnf def coming

[sullen topaz]

looks like a fishing rod

[glacial terrace]

yo a class where did u find it?

[gloomy isle]

If there's new terrain I bet it'll be in the new star systems, I don't think they'll change it galaxy wide

[native carbon]

YOO

[zenith perch]

Flatworlds exist though, they've been found

[raw mulch]

Yeah, either in new systems, or on new planets, or lowering the bedrock on current planets to allow terrain to go deeper.
I don't think existing terrain is going to be changed.

[vital helm]

I was not expecting the update to happen today

what a good day it is

[zenith perch]

2 expeditions in a row is the bigger surprise to me

[spice cosmos]

why do fish have classes? all fish is amazing

[uneven heath]

Someone told me here most updates landed on Wednesday

[trim dune]

new terrain will require a reset. If they do it like Origins then there's no new terrain. It's just the existing terrain stretched, squished

[analog breach]

NMS got fishing. NMS is officialy a JRPG now xd

[uneven heath]

Lol

[zenith perch]

If a reset happens they need to add the ability to move bases via the base computer instead of having to manually rebuild everything

[gilded tusk]

Still need a use for food other than "consume"

[fluid valley]

Now HG need to make player guild and we good

[gloomy isle]

They're adding entirely new star systems so there doesn't need to be a reset necessarily. They're likely adding entirely oceanic planets from what it looks like, too

[trim dune]

a blueprint system like fallout 76

[dense quartz]

Dude I got a heart attack when I installed that.
I thought my Atlantid multitool changed forever lol.

[zenith perch]

Rare time we agree on something @trim dune

[sullen topaz]

JRPG?

[trim dune]

😂

[glacial terrace]

then they need to add microtransactions to truely become a mmo jrpg

[uneven heath]

Japanese Role-playing game

[raw mulch]

They could start by extending the duration of the existing jetpack and sprint boost effects some food have. 15 seconds is rather short, given you can't quick menu eat them to replenish the buff.

[fluid valley]

And ESO lootbox

[sour fossil]

shushit

[fickle coral]

Heresy

[glacial terrace]

[zenith perch]

WTS 15 legendary jellyfish for mould or 50k credits pmo /s

[glacial terrace]

no mans sky battlepass

[fickle coral]

uninstalls

[fluid valley]

And live event, imagine a event in the nexus where you can see à planet get destroy etc omg

[vital helm]

I only have a jelly donut. Will that cut it.

[zenith perch]

Honestly if they did it with no fomo i doubt many would complain

sorry donut machine broke

Yeah nah I don't see a planet ever being destroyed

We already had that bug a while ago where you could destroy your own freighter, we don't need something else to tank the framerate

[fluid valley]

Its just an exemple, but live event can be cool, like à meeting or something

[zenith perch]

question did you get the red ring loading screen thing

[uneven heath]

Unless it is an asset or Planet not in the Universe

[fluid valley]

Its just à event, not spmetjinggonna happen all the time IG

[sullen topaz]

WHATS THAT

[fluid valley]

Yep, you can fix it by lunch another game and return in NMS

[native carbon]

a platform to fish

[gilded tusk]

Would be cool if we could have what we catch in Aquariums and/or swimming around an underwater area in our bases

[uneven heath]

I get it time to time, usually gotta reload

[blissful hollow]

Flashbacks to tye 360 days

👴

[indigo notch]

whatsa going on-a over here

[runic mesa]

Can you change the color?

[icy citrus]

Fishing

[uneven heath]

I actually had that problem, the red rings of death

[indigo notch]

FISHING IN NO MANS SKY?

sorry

[pearl yarrow]

next update: the Atlas Pass becomes a battle pass

[icy citrus]

And an expedition

[sleek dragon]

ayy another one

[icy citrus]

Ya

[livid zinc]

Enhanced

[indigo notch]

screams

they made no mans sky a farming game

finally

[gloomy isle]

The main body changes colour but the sails stay blue I think

[native carbon]

yes

[runic mesa]

It's a proper sandbox now

[sullen topaz]

guys what the new twitter post could mean

[gloomy isle]

The deep sea armour looks awesome

[native carbon]

fishing in the crimson lake

[pearl yarrow]

I can take so many screenshots of me fishing now 😎

[uneven heath]

Heck yeah

[civic sigil]

Uh oh we can fish now. That is awesome

[pearl yarrow]

it's especially fun during the night on a world with bioluminescent aquatic vegetation

[runic mesa]

Actually, I think getting an actual boat exocraft in the future isn't too unlikely

[toxic radish]

Wow I think those fishing rods are the precursor to multi-swords

[dusty wind]

ps5 update is finally done - there are no official patch notes yet, no?

[lofty fable]

i like the way the fishing works but i do not like the fact that the fish you catch don't actually exist outside of being an icon in your inventory

[pearl yarrow]

lightsabers!!

[muted moth]

not yet. Soon (tm)

[indigo notch]

only now? 😂

[idle escarp]

are there new underwater environments, instead of the sea alwaays looking the same?

[fluid valley]

I hope the thing fish have same model in water get fix

[pliant aurora]

Most likely coming with Worlds Pt 2

[glacial terrace]

these look so cool

i love this

[idle escarp]

update thing said this

[icy citrus]

Yeah, doesn't say new

[rocky heath]

B O A T

[idle escarp]

also any pictures of the new aquarius customization stuff?

[vital helm]

I did not realize this was still technically part of Worlds I

[clear citrus]

physics on the skiffer react to placed objects

[pearl yarrow]

I think it means that the type of fish you find depend on their habitant

[native carbon]

they meant like.. fire planets, ice planets

[runic mesa]

Likely just means different fish on different planet binomes

[jovial moss]

I want to see a flaoting aquarium platform to put your fish in that follows you around like a pet companion. lol

[muted moth]

I'd settle for placeable aquariums in one's base

[cedar rover]

Fishing, huh? While I'm not really a fan personally, I'm happy for the people who enjoy it! Jolly good!

[pearl yarrow]

fishing is the relaxing activity in games

lol

[icy citrus]

This is the way

Some of you could learn from that statement

[gloomy isle]

I need to get the diving gear for part 2

[native carbon]

lmao will i catch something

[dreamy quartz]

No trailer or anything for this?

[muted moth]

not yet

[lean lance]

I was really hoping you could move the skiff around

[pearl yarrow]

let us know

[lofty fable]

so small it doesnt need a trailer lol

[lean lance]

if you summon it while on it it slowly drifts over to your summon point

[pearl yarrow]

I'm curious now

[lean lance]

but that's about all

[rocky heath]

it's stationary?
:<

[native carbon]

lmaooo

[cedar rover]

I may be a ship and weapons guy but I appreciate the folk who just want to chill! Updates come and go!

[pearl yarrow]

say what

[rocky heath]

bro

[lean lance]

yea but it's suuuper slow

it still works

kinda cool

[pearl yarrow]

honestly, we need lawn chairs now! And a cooler for space beer!

[lean lance]

unfortunately trade rockets can not send it flying 💔

[vital helm]

I need that cosmetic set

[runic mesa]

Excellent attitude. I felt this way about dreadnought battles. Not my thing, but I'm glad people are excited

[vital helm]

The new diver suit looks good

[fluid valley]

Kinda sad you cant sail with the raft now we have new wind system

[tawdry quarry]

wasnt expecting fishing of all things

[native carbon]

Doggo army

[pearl yarrow]

I was hoping for fishing but not expecting it

[idle escarp]

what's it look like?

[toxic radish]

If the skiff has physics, then I bet they just ran out of time to make it a proper boat

[tawdry quarry]

so the update dropped?

[cedar rover]

Exactly! While I love the Dreadnought fights, I know some are here for chill or otherwise don't engage with them. I'm glad Hello Games is working at multiple angles!

[vital helm]

It looks like a big daddy outfit from bioshock 2.

[lean lance]

fish are the only thing you can place in the coolers

[vital helm]

(technically a big sister outfit)

[bleak fractal]

Hey just be thankful it was not golf. ha

[pearl yarrow]

we already have golf in NMS

[analog breach]

We can resummon the skiff. its nice

[lean lance]

both of the cold storage chests have the same storage - as in if you place a fish in one, it'll be in the other too

[pearl yarrow]

the perfect sphere generator thingys and the shotgun

[tawdry quarry]

honestly golf would be sick

[silk kettle]

Is this worlds part 2?

[lean lance]

I wish we had like aquariums or something to display our fish

[lean lance]

no

[silk kettle]

So its just a small update?

[lean lance]

yea

[long bobcat]

We just got fishing and a new expedition from what I saw

[lean lance]

I'm guessing worlds part 2 will release sometime closer to winter

[livid zinc]

Anyone thinking this fishing is in Light no Fire & Hello Games testing it in NMS.....

[bleak fractal]

Guess the big shock its still Part 1 🙂

[idle escarp]

what did the pots mean sean

[silk kettle]

Is it bcz worlds part 2 is postponed? Isnt it supposed to release on septemberr after the expedition ends?

[vital helm]

What if they plan on adding a lot of stuff in just part one?

[sour fossil]

The whole Worlds update is HG testing stuff for LNF

[radiant schooner]

ocean update=

?

[sour fossil]

One could say even earlier updates are

[gilded tusk]

Did they break infested planets? I've landed in 4 different places and only found one Juicy Grub

[silk kettle]

Yea maybe part 2 is next year or something

[livid zinc]

Of course 👍

[bleak fractal]

Drip fed goodies yummy

[sour fossil]

They could have just added a bit of variety to biomes

[pearl yarrow]

my theory is that they're bringing technology and gameplay from Light No Fire into No Man's Sky, it makes perfect sense to me

[sour fossil]

But they opted for all bells and whistles

[radiant schooner]

whats new? people are saying its small i know its ocean related so?

[vital helm]

I would not mind a big part 1.

[muted moth]

pot -> zodiac sign "aquarius" -> water.... sigh

[gilded tusk]

fishing

[radiant schooner]

fishing?

[vital helm]

fishing

[fluid valley]

Fishing

[silk kettle]

I hate it tbh. Now theyre just gonna add small stuff (updates) and call it a worlds part 1 extension

[pearl yarrow]

Fishing.,

[radiant schooner]

stardew valley in space ig

[gilded tusk]

that's the long and short of it

[fluid valley]

Fishing

[pearl yarrow]

hell yes

[livid zinc]

If they bring over too much will LNF have any surprises? Just wondering

[lean lance]

trailer dropped

[radiant schooner]

well no part 2 then

[orchid bronze]

100k catch

[silk kettle]

Where

[glacial terrace]

me dumping car batteries into the ocean for fish

[timid mist]

it's just like an intermission between larger releases lol, it's not like this replaces a bigger update, it's this or more waiting

[muted moth]

I got that one too! 🙂

[silk kettle]

https://youtu.be/zu-OxnMETY0?si=h6dD2pXKP4sheV0C

[lean lance]

no it's the same way updates released with the Origins header

[timid mist]

idrc about fishing either but just chill it's all good

[lean lance]

or under Echoes or whatever

[glacial terrace]

more content i dont see why thats a bad thing

[gilded tusk]

I dont get what the vase emote meant for this. Do people put fish in vases? 😂

[silk kettle]

Trailer dropped

[lean lance]

symbol for aquarius

[pearl yarrow]

plenty, I feel like. For one, the entire world! So far, they've brought the storm effects, water, and fishing from LNF

[pliant aurora]

i wonder if a good chunk of those creatures will eventually make it into worlds pt 2

[gilded tusk]

Oh, thank you

[vital helm]

They update fairly often. A small update like this from time to time ain't all that bad. They are winding up for bigger stuff as suggested by sean (I think).

[glacial terrace]

ok sean drop the planet coords now

[native carbon]

floods?!

im the only one who realised those plants are half underwater?

[tranquil lark]

so, does it matter which multitool i add the fishing tool to? 2ndly, will it perminently make the tool look like a fishing rod?

[glacial terrace]

what i did notice is sean didnt drop those coords

[pearl yarrow]

the trailer is out???

[glacial terrace]

no

it wont make it look like a rod

[sleek dragon]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/

[pearl yarrow]

finally!!

[radiant schooner]

no aquariums? i would like fishing if i could put the fish in an aquarium after to showcase them in my base

that would be fun

i wish they would have done that

like subnautica style fish tanks

[tranquil lark]

ok. so their is no specific MT to put it on? like rifles are better for 1 thing while alien tools are better for another type thing.

[pearl yarrow]

0:28 in the trailer, holy f*** so many fish types

[bleak fractal]

Now granted only been here for few months and on 2nd save file and trying to not glitch stuff but from what I have gathered play how you feel about as simple as that. did 13 years Wow (3 years Fishing) , over 6years and 15k hours on Satisfactory with 1.0 release next Tue , 2 year off and on Subnautica franchise.

[zenith perch]

are you serious

[silk kettle]

There is an aquarius expedition for 6 weeks so it means no new content for 6 weeks

[zenith perch]

"One piece of fan art in particular stopped us in our tracks, of a player lazily fishing from their wing of their starship. This art, and others like it, was right at the heart of the inspiration behind the Aquarius update."

[glacial terrace]

@unborn bough U MADE IT

[zenith perch]

OK QUICK SOMEONE MAKE FANART OF SETTLEMENTS THIS IS YOUR CHANCE 🗣️

[pearl yarrow]

shrimp!!!

[zenith perch]

no mans sky, the frostyside dream update

[idle prawn]

trailer is on guys

go check

[pearl yarrow]

time to 100% all of the 100+ fish

[young quest]

So they added more fish variety

[vital helm]

that's only a month and a half, man. We'll live

[unborn bough]

Hehehe!

[young quest]

You wouldn’t survive the wait between visions and beyond

[uneven heath]

For free? Tell me another dev without microtransactions that updates their game for years after release without making you pay for the content. Go to Ubisoft and they'll slap 30 bucks on the fishing update.

[idle escarp]

where do I go to acquire a fishing device

[zenith perch]

This update was unironically because of fanart

[ashen geode]

From the patchnote:
"Fishing is fully compatible with first and third person play, and has unique casting mechanics for VR players."
Yaaay!

[silk kettle]

this is the smallest update we got so far i think

[glacial terrace]

congrats man

[vital helm]

Usually your local fish monger offers... oh wait, you meant in game

[zenith perch]

@silk kettle

[gloomy isle]

Not by a long shot. Omega earlier this year was smaller, and byte beat is a music box

[raw mulch]

We've gotten updates that are specifically just expeditions before.

[zenith perch]

To be fair bytebeat was from what i call the gimmick era

2022 marked a shift in updates, this is the smallest update in a while but at least its not expedition only

[cedar rover]

Oh the Expedition starts today? Neato! I'll get to try the fishing system even if it's not my speed in an interesting way! I do love the diving suit armor!

[zenith perch]

Omega was a rework to expeditions

[unborn bough]

Thank you

[uneven heath]

And just because it was added you don't have to play it. Everyone can play their own way

[vital helm]

Consistent big updates would be a pain to maintain. A small update here and there (I'm not sure if this is the smallest update) is fine. It allows them to at least stretch while they continue working

[pearl yarrow]

"New music tracks have been added to accompany the fishing experience." oooo

[grizzled apex]

Interesting... I didn't see the jelly boss in the patch notes, or did I miss it in the gloss over?

[bleak fractal]

have to summon a Prometheus quote " Big things have small beginnings "

[pliant aurora]

I noticed too but i dont see naything in the patch talking about this

[native carbon]

next update maybe

which is prob. gonna be worlds part 2

hopefully deep oceans

[pearl yarrow]

"Introduced a number of optimisations while accessing the inventory." it did seem much smoother

[tawdry quarry]

yeah it felt like it was a little bit of a short wait. would've been cool but a month is not a lot of time

thinking october is about the right time for Pt2 to maybe drop

late Oct or early-mid Nov

[radiant schooner]

i assume this was either planned for part 1 and didnt make it, or planned for part 2 and used NOW as a way to not go a long time without an update before part 2

[tawdry quarry]

wasnt a bad idea

we're all literally eating good now

[radiant schooner]

small update + 6 week expedition and then in october part 2 maybe

[tawdry quarry]

yeah

[pearl yarrow]

good seafood!

[bleak fractal]

honestly happy if Patch 2 delay was intentional as not to compete with huge Satisfactory 1.0 Release on this coming Tuesday I would bet many on this game have played the later 🙂

[tawdry quarry]

3 months is a good estimate for HG to drop big updates

[uneven heath]

I kinda wonder if the three teased updates are all for Worlds Pt1 actually

[tawdry quarry]

what 3 teased updates?

[gloomy isle]

Hmmm so it's either a secret boss (which would be hilarious considering the prank the community pulled) or it's a fight for part 2

[uneven heath]

The 3 purposely blurred images on the update list

[gloomy isle]

Oor it's an expedition thing maybe

[tawdry quarry]

oh right the 'roadmap'

[grizzled apex]

Gonna have to find xrefs in the steam build to properly hook and see if these exist there but the mac build has some interesting NPC functions...

[tawdry quarry]

well

[grizzled apex]

Anyone try getting them to fish yet?

[uneven heath]

I think Worlds 2 might be after, and I am guessing it will be bigger.

[tawdry quarry]

i think theres a very decent shot at deeper oceans in Pt2

[hollow jay]

is the expedition supposed to be available? cant start it

[tawdry quarry]

this is a a perfect bit of kit for oceans

[silk kettle]

We dont know tbh maybe worlds part 2 is next year no one knows

[tawdry quarry]

im split on if thats going to happen

[uneven heath]

I actually think Worlds 2 won't be out until 2026 or 27

I could be wrong

[gloomy isle]

All the files are there for it so it's pretty likely

[raw mulch]

I could see there being a December Expedition Redux, then dropping the next big update in January 2025. Until then, we've got a new expedition and fishing.

[sour fossil]

Sean you scarring me

[gloomy isle]

It was initially meant to release this summer so I doubt they'd delay it that long lol

[tawdry quarry]

they probably ran into some trouble or wanted to change something so they pushed it back

[silk kettle]

Maybe next summer. They have that other game the make so they're busy

[tawdry quarry]

nah

[uneven heath]

Did they say Worlds Pt 2 was releasing or content was coming, those are two different things

[gloomy isle]

It specifically meant this summer

[gloomy isle]

They said that it's just part 1, with more this summer

[tawdry quarry]

they changed that though

[gloomy isle]

I mean yeah, but they won't have delayed it to 2026 lol

[tawdry quarry]

no there would be no point

HGs pretty capable

[raw mulch]

I wonder what those technology upgrades will be like?

[tawdry quarry]

probably C and B rank mods

[uneven heath]

If they gave us little things and did a huge thing for Worlds Pt 2 waiting would be well worth it

[tawdry quarry]

cant imagine you'd get fantastic loot from fishing considering how easy it is

otherwise you end up like Minecraft

[gloomy isle]

Also keep in mind that large parts of part 2 are complete enough to be playable

[grizzled apex]

Its a new tech class I believe

[tawdry quarry]

really?

nah it just says water damaged it

[rustic haven]

rarity and location of fishing may play a factor to make it less easy

[uncut harness]

so they went with fishing?

[tawdry quarry]

ill hold the bobber myself 80u deep in an ocean

[rustic haven]

Yes, isn't it great! 😄

[raw mulch]

Yes. They were inspired by a piece of fanart they received.

[rustic haven]

You think this update was developed in the time since worlds part 1 launch?

[brazen lake]

So we're do I go to start fishing?

[tawdry quarry]

perfect way to get people into a bit of cooking too

[rustic haven]

I never touched cooking, so this is true

[tawdry quarry]

getting ingredients is a bit of a pain

little too "go here. grab these things. go make a couple pieces. repeat"

[rustic haven]

Sounds like cooking in the kitchen to me

[uncut harness]

I guess the real question is how far down do the fishing lines go?

[carmine pollen]

Got the skiff, got the angler rig, crafted my lures. Time to fish 🎣

[rustic haven]

I should really go fishing in vr

[dusty wind]

might be more of a bug-channel type message, but you can fish from mid-air, when standing in a base that's partly submerged lol

[tawdry quarry]

big difference when the galaxy is your kitchen

[fickle coral]

lol wtf

[carmine pollen]

[sour fossil]

Also @grizzled apex

[uncut harness]

The trailer for it says more will follow. Part 3?

[sour fossil]

Literally described as trash in game files lol

This wasn't even Worlds Part 2

Just a Worlds Part 1.1

[prime osprey]

What do we use the fish for

[dusty wind]

collecting, selling, eating, releasing

think i got everything

[raw mulch]

Releasing provides nanites, by the way.

[carmine pollen]

Tested out the shadow lure on a scorched planet

[dusty wind]

oooh nice!

[prime osprey]

Eating? Directly or do they need processed

[fickle coral]

kaching

[gloomy isle]

What's the value on it?

[fickle coral]

shrug

[dusty wind]

needs to be processed, there are new recipes

[dense quartz]

Oh my god after all these years they finally fixed the inventory tab lag.

[grizzled apex]

Haha, so that's what the trash LOC IDs were for

I guess it is the sorta trash you can fish up in a sci fi universe 😅

[gloomy isle]

Like how many units does it sell for 😂

[raw mulch]

Better off releasing it then. You'll get a couple hundred nanites that way.

(Or processing it into a meal)

[gloomy isle]

Aah not too bad

[fickle coral]

This Skiff is boring

[dusty wind]

kinda funny that you can process them, and then use that as bait

[cedar rover]

I wonder what the chances are for S-Class fish. Might be a good way for mid game Nanites. Especially in Survival or Perma where Mould farms are a tad more tedious.

[gloomy isle]

Was a bit worried it would devalue ancient bones and stuff

[brazen lake]

How do I unlock the skiff

[dusty wind]

space anomaly, exo-suit research

[fickle coral]

Exosuit Research on the anomaly

[carmine pollen]

Exosuit tech

[brazen lake]

Thank you

[dense quartz]

The fishing rod has no melee animations. 😄

[dusty wind]

why would it though? Wanna get up close and personal with the fish? 😄

[gloomy isle]

Does the fishing rod upgrade disable mining etc, or can you mine with it 😂

[bleak fractal]

soooo wonder if fishing gear will be in the multitool cases lol

[compact coyote]

I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED A FISHING UPDATE

[dusty wind]

nah, it disables mining it seems, it's like when you equip a primary weapon

[carmine pollen]

First A class fish

[bleak fractal]

in case you missed look in the tech modules

[swift turret]

where do you get the skiff

[sour fossil]

exosuit vendor at Space Anomaly

[eternal radish]

What? The coming update is about fishing?

[dense quartz]

I kinda like how this added depth to food even if a little bit.
Like if I got a food reward, I'd just throw it out cause it was useless, now I can at least use it as bait.

[livid zinc]

https://www.nomanssky.com/2024/09/aquarius-update/

[analog breach]

Can i put catched fish into aquarium??????

[sour fossil]

Trash tier upgrade icon

[bleak fractal]

Nooo! Present it to NPC Cronus just a thought 🙂

[dense quartz]

New shuttle class, no way!

[lofty fable]

that would be a cool feature to fishing

this fishing is very barebones lol

you cant display your fish or anything they are just icons

lol

[bleak fractal]

haha more barebones than Warcraft 😛

[brazen lake]

Ok really dumb question, how does one drive the skiff?

[lofty fable]

sometimes i wonder why very obvious things never make it to features that obviously should have them

[dense quartz]

I don't think you do. It's stationary.

Also it's a really cool idea to be able to plop your catches into a base acquarium! Basically what Subnautica did.

[lofty fable]

maybe worlds part 2 bros

[brazen lake]

So I have a skiff with a sail that don't move? Odd but ok

[bleak fractal]

Stationary Skiff Blaphemy All skiffs in sci fi at least go places

[dense quartz]

Does anyone else have a weird black dot in the center of their screens when flying ships now?

[timid mist]

your punishment for using tethered mode

[dense quartz]

I can't fly with the other mode to save my life, it feels horrible lol.

[grizzled apex]

Also, I wonder if this is just flavor text, but the Jellyboss is called "Deepwater" guardian... Kinda like the Deepwater biomes?

[timid mist]

honestly it's prob more intuitive but im so used to the original way

[dense quartz]

I legit can't steer right or left that way, my ship just starts going up or down. It's horrible.

[uneven heath]

I feel you, even in combat 3rd person mode feels clunky

[analog breach]

Yeah i noticed it. Lol

[heavy light]

Anyone got big pictures of the expedition rewards?

[real sapphire]

seem like they added new music for fishing

[sour fossil]

yup, almost 50 sound tracks apparently

[real sapphire]

wow

ok... i think i need to use aship as my fishing ship LOL

[idle prawn]

"Something people really loved in the Worlds update was the new water technology - tons of players were posting videos of themselves just chilling at the water’s edge. One piece of fan art in particular stopped us in our tracks, of a player lazily fishing from their wing of their starship. This art, and others like it, was right at the heart of the inspiration behind the Aquarius update." from the update guys

[sour fossil]

hey HG here, take some underscores: _____

[dense quartz]

I can't wait to finish this expedition and see that they still didn't fix the "Ewards" typo at the end.

[sour fossil]

Spoiler they did not

!hg

[cloud jolt]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[sour fossil]

New texture file for freighter rooms? The blue/teal bits are proably getting procedurally coloured by the game

[idle prawn]

so now 6 weeks to expedition ends +/- we gona expect a update ?

xD

[wind panther]

Week 3 or 4 of October

My guess

[pliant aurora]

Wait is gonna be tough but well make it

[dusty wind]

yeah, ocean planets were a hot topic in the last few days, it's certainly a plausible addition, since they're - allegedly - already in the game files

[gloomy isle]

That lines up with some other big updates too

Or slightly later. Part 1 earlier than usual, part 2 slightly later

[dusty wind]

Yeah, I'm kinda convinced now, that part 2 will be coming later rather than sooner

[wind panther]

Yes waterworlds have been in the files for years

[dusty wind]

this feels like something to keep us over water til then -badumtss-

[gloomy isle]

I reckon it'll be Aquarius+ expedition - > Part 2 around October - > Reruns for Christmas

[thin pawn]

So any new delicious data in the new update

[pliant aurora]

That little flooded lake area with the plants sticking up in the beginning of the trailer is a little taste of what’s to come in worlds 2. There’s nothing like that in the game right now

[rare imp]

So there are no new fish models, they’re only jpegs?

[fluid valley]

All fish have same model in water, but change in inventory

[grizzled apex]

They appear to be pictures of renders from assets HG's working on. Not to mention that the "Ray" catch icons are just renders of the unused Manta Ray models from Worlds Part 1

[sand karma]

Ngl, I like the idea of purple system being full water worlds

Though, I'm obviously also hoping for a void mother connection

But underwater = scary = profit

[rare imp]

Third person movement is different now?

When jogging and sprinting I mean, not sure if it’s intentional or not

It’s subtle but there seems to be more nuance

It looks a little strange to me

[sand karma]

Nothing about this in the patch notes at least.

[dense quartz]

Cold storage is 60 slots in the expedition but only 10 in the base game?

[sand karma]

Guess you can earn inventory expansion slots somehow, maybe?

[gloomy isle]

Has anyone released haunted fish?

Pls release haunted fish

[dense quartz]

What happens?

[glass flare]

see y'all in October I guess, this update isn't for me

[gloomy isle]

There's a datamined jellyfish boss. Probably not in the game at all but apparently that's how it's triggered

[gloomy isle]

See in october for part 2 (hopefully)!

[dense quartz]

I think this is the reason why they removed the "later this summer" cause I assume they wanted to push out this mini update and expedition while preparing Part 2.

[rare imp]

Then it’s not in the patch notes, but it has changed, wonder if there’s animation reworks on the way?

[sand karma]

I mean it could be coming with a later update. Though admitedly I've not noticed any real differences

[rare imp]

It’s subtle, I’m surprised no one else has picked up on it, it’s most noticeable when jogging

[gloomy isle]

Yeah, especially since they started this update after part 1 came out

So they decided on it pretty quickly it seems

Either way it's nice enough and it buys them time to do more with part 2

[pliant aurora]

Im with you brother. We'll get there

[young quest]

Whatever caused them to delay part 2 this was probably a part of it and just released this part as an update

Are those flooded planets in game

5.2 beach update ? 😛

⛱️

[gloomy isle]

Exclusive rods 🧐

[tepid iris]

One is given thru the expedition

Maybe others pop up later in quicksilver

[gloomy isle]

I just find the wording funny 😂

[pearl yarrow]

imagine if we could craft rods like we craft staffs

and each part could have different characteristics

[dusty wind]

I noticed they removed upgrades from being placed in portable refiners, thereby removing this form of duping - can anyone confirm?

[glass flare]

if we're being real, this is probably a Light No Fire feature that they're using NMS to test it on first

[young quest]

I bet the update in October is abyss 2.0 an underwater update

[dense quartz]

Staying on this thing during a storm is impossible.

[native carbon]

Snail?!

[glass flare]

does it bounce on the waves?

[dense quartz]

Yeah, so do ships now, but at least the ships become static when you stand on top of them, the new exo thing doesn't.

[glass flare]

huh... what about players, do you bob up and down in the water? or the Nomad?

[dense quartz]

I don't think the player does, the water always calms down when you're in it for some reason.

Kinda immersion breaking actually.

[stoic carbon]

It'd be hell for VR players otherwise

[glass flare]

that's a shame, having the waves go over your head feels really weird in 1st person. not the end of the world but would have been nice for them to add that

[dense quartz]

Yeah I get that, but I dunno why it has to transfer over to flat screen.

[glass flare]

i saw on the trailer they were standing on a pier at one point, is that a custom base part you can build?

[dense quartz]

Yeh, looked like a regular base part.

[pliant aurora]

Nope

Im excited to see all those creatures in game

[grizzled apex]

Has anyone managed to snag and release a haunted fish? I wanna see if the Deepwater Guardian is some sorta secret feature or truly unused before I try to restore it...

[gloomy isle]

I'll see if I can do it after dinner

[native carbon]

whaleees?!!

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if we'll have to do it on an oceanic planet or something like that

[grizzled apex]

Yea, the error message for a release mentioned needing to perform it inside a body of water

[grizzled apex]

These messages generate in a pretty interesting way! The general message format is picked randomly by the game, and one of more "parts" of the message (like whales, here, which could also have been turtles, fish and a few other options) are picked and chosen by the game

Kinda similar to how expedition entries on derelict Freighters work

[native carbon]

also wtf is this

[glass flare]

the patch said you'd get damaged tech sometimes. but i guess it's actually junk items, doesn't seem like you can repair it

[sour fossil]

In case anyone asks here

The octopus bobblehead gives exactly the same stat bonus as the various trails

I dont remember what it was but there you have it

Whatever this is but +5% from the octo bobblehead

[pliant aurora]

Hope that turns out to be true in pt 2. Id love to see whales

[clear citrus]

wish it was possible to view bait effects outside of the bait select menu
difficult to remember what is what from cooking materials when everything sort of looks the same

[river crater]

guessing fishes are procedurly generated when fishing

[long bobcat]

Anyone know if the fish are new fauna you can see while fishing or it just works like Minecraft fishing. I’m leaning towards the latter

[ashen geode]

From what I understood: when you throw your fishing line, those fishes you can fish appears. You cannot fish the ones of the planetary faune. When pulling your rod out, look at a fish and see it dissapear

Woooh, I can finally post photos here, thanks Gunter 🥳

But anyways, new experimental out, until we get the official changelog on the Steam community page I will try to see if they improved the skiff's tilting or other aspects of it

[glass flare]

it's already up https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/0/4751948599936306080/

[zenith perch]

I made a connection today

Not sure if this is intentional but are the worlds giving you silicate powder

Which makes glass, as a reference to Glass in the lore?

"Specialist bait can now be placed in the Exo-Skiff's cold storage inventory."

Massive QoL improvement

Also they already fixed the bug where ship crosshairs get a black dot when entering it with a fishing rod

[glass flare]

I don't think so, I mean glass is made from silicon in real life

[sour fossil]

Yup, I was kinda flabberghasted when I couldn't put them in cold storage

Nah mate I aint sacrificing 5 cargo slots on this shit

[ashen geode]

Well, it seems like the movement are smoothed more, but still: the character is able to drift. They should make the player lock on every axis except the Z/height axis when fishing, same for the skiff

[zenith perch]

I'd have preferred it to be upgradeable and or have movement, even if slow

Hey where do you get em

I could try and let you know

[ashen geode]

I mean yes, I love the tilting movement. What I meant is prevent the sliding of the player by locking its position

[ashen geode]

What things?

[zenith perch]

@grizzled apex

[ashen geode]

Oof my bad

[zenith perch]

I forgot to @ them

haunted fish exist for context and allegedly theres some boss?

[young quest]

Oh there’s definitely gonna be an underwater update

I bet it’s for October

[zenith perch]

Water worlds exist already so its not impossible we'd get more

[young quest]

It’d make sense for a ocean update to drop in October considering the ocean is scary for some people

[grizzled apex]

Yea so I looked into it a bit more directly in the files
The boss HUD is finished, but the actual reward doesn't seem to be used or finished, since some of the OSD messages don't have a localization entry. So it doesn't seem to be used content

[zenith perch]

this expedition says it lasts two months

Could be a future addition then

Actually if it IS its gonna be the next update

[grizzled apex]

I got it spawning, will add to my unused features mod to let people play around with it

Not a very dangerous boss rn though haha

[zenith perch]

So its just in the files, not in game?

[zenith perch]

It'd be like a sequel to abyss which is an update I enjoyed

Dreams from the Deep was a fantastic usage of the nautilus

[tepid iris]

you guys wont believe this, my Windows lockscreen image were fish lmao

[grizzled apex]

It doesn't seem to be naturally spawning in game so far

Especially since it's missing a few minor text entries

[pliant aurora]

underwater boss battles sound pretty sick.

[sour fossil]

Looks like HG removed the QR code they slipped in last time

[glass flare]

Wonder what's going on with cloud saves. I was really hopeful it would be in this update

[grizzled apex]

Okay yea no this is very unfinished in principle...

The UI for it's "minion" spawn timer doesnt work, and the smaller jelly fish it spawns don't die

[late tusk]

i need the deep sea armor O_O

[glass flare]

at around :50 seconds in the update trailer, you can see the player bobbing up and down in the water. someone was saying there's no player bobbing in this update though?

[sand karma]

Wait, which QR code? 👀

[sour fossil]

This one: #nms-spoilers message

[sand karma]

Oh right, for the cross save system. That makes sense. Thanks!

Hope that includes Switch too, cuz having to start over is the main reason I'm not using the Switch version much

I had forgotten about this too. Probably for Halloween, I'm guessing, given that the Expedition ends 10 days before that

They have tried some Halloween event stuff before, so maybe going big this year?

[sour fossil]

It was in game files since Adrift

So it's not new

[sand karma]

Hmm that is quite a while

Speaking of things that are cursed though 😭

[icy citrus]

Seems like an alternate name for Adrift imo

That frigate you get is the cursed, no?

[sour fossil]

Cursed To Roam, correct

Could be a placeholder name

Like the Crucible for Singularity

YES SEAN I KNOW YOU CHANGED THE NAME AFTER I DECIPHERED THE LETTERS

[rough crow]

"Fishing in No Man’s Sky is a uniquely relaxing experience. Players can now explore the universe to find their perfect waterside spot, hopping with fish. Sit and relax alone with your thoughts, or stand alongside fellow Travellers as you look out over alien vistas waiting for a bite."

lol find a water spot is all he says you have to do

40 paradise planets later none with water.

maybe fix paradise planet with water spawn 😭

[sand karma]

Ohh, that could be actually

It's insane to me that there are 209 things to catch. I'll be fishing a long while 😂

[rough crow]

ohhh they fixed one of things i literally complained about

Allowed the Multi-Tool to remain unholstered when in Photo Mode in a multiplayer game.

whaaat, must be hidden devs in this discord

Removed the deprecated Shutter Door base part from the Catalogue.

and this

someone was asking why they dont have this

[cloud jolt]

@sand karma

No gifs in this channel please

[sand karma]

Whoops. Sorry. Force of habbit. 😛

But yes. Secret devs are a given.

[young quest]

I could see the update in October being Abyss 2.0

[pliant aurora]

No doubt

[rough crow]

i love seeing that things recently mentioned in the discord in last 2-3 weeks were fixed in this update, good sign.

and the optimization updates good too

[glass flare]

yet still no tesselation on the Mac. feels like a platform they barely want to support.

[glass flare]

Question: are the fish in the fishing feature applied to the general pool of aquatic life available to the procedural systems? Or are they not actually real creature models

[icy citrus]

It's a mixture - some are fish models you can find (maybe not on that planet) some are not

Which makes me hopeful that the ones that aren't, are just not yet in the game as models

[glass flare]

Oh cool. Are the fish you can find things that already existed prior to this update, or new additions?

[icy citrus]

Prior

At least all the ones I've seen so far

[gusty berry]

look p cool ig

[gusty stream]

It looks sick

Do we know if the boss jellyfish is in the game

[late tusk]

do the little fish swim around in water?

[late tusk]

i need

Aquired.

[icy citrus]

It's not yet

[lofty fable]

dude

am i crazy or did the fishing trailer showcase worlds part 2 stuff as well?

specifically the planetside shots

what is that?

i've seen a structure like this before but i've never seen it like that

and this entire scene here

[glass flare]

pretty sure that's an Archive building, look at the cranes

[glass flare]

and I think those flowers were added in Worlds part 1

[sour fossil]

Yup, nothing new

Although I don't member seeing those flowers spawn in water

But tbh haven't seen much of them either

[pliant aurora]

The flowers spawning in the water is something new that is not in the game.

theres even grass in the water too

[sour fossil]

Then it's just another example of HG doing something that is not present in actual game to make stuff more appealing

Happened before, will happen again

[ebon spoke]

The dev tools have a water height slider probably, they just turned it up to have more water in the trailer lol

they did it for one of the planets in the Worlds Part I trailer, no idea why they thought it would be a good idea to do it for the most prominent planet in this new trailer though

[pliant aurora]

Sucks to hear. That area looks pretty good too

[lofty fable]

there's a leak

that is similar to this

this right here

[lofty fable]

oh wow

[pliant aurora]

If it does end up being in Worlds Pt 2 that would be cool. It would be nice to have some flooded grassland.

[lofty fable]

ong

[lofty fable]

are we sure it's not alge? because there is also a glowing plant in the water, similar to in the light no fire trailer

[glass flare]

actual swamps

[ebon spoke]

There's a lot of 'faked' things in the update trailers, planets that are closer together then they can be naturally, pulse encounters that stay visible from planets (and dont despawn when the player moves away) other "players" ships that are actually squadron ships etc

[ebon spoke]

Thats the worlds part one floral biome. You can even see the grass underwater. If it was natural generation there would be a beach as well, the game is coded to have them up to a few meters above the water level

[lofty fable]

yeah, definitely raised the water

[ebon spoke]

interesting new file added in the update 👀

only other squid files are the icons for the items, so I guess the model seen in those is coming

[young quest]

Maybe they can make this a sub biome type in part 2

[glass flare]

Squididly doo

[uncut harness]

Squididdy party

[glass flare]

Just saw a streamer get a Message in a Bottle, seemed like a lore drop of sorts. It was something like "If you see this message, stop before it's too late. It's in the air, in the ground, in the water, it's everywhere."

[zenith swallow]

DOPE!

[lofty fable]

there seems to be boats in LNF

yall think we getting any

an exocraft themed update would be fire. overhauling and adding

giving them more purpose and life

[pliant aurora]

I dont think so but you just never know with Hello Games. I was not expecting them to add fishing and a skiff to the game.

[lofty fable]

i honestly was wrong about fishing being a bad feature to add it's relaxing af. with functioning exocraft boats and being able to store caught fish in an aquarium and perhaps as trophies, that would make it so fucking perfect.

then you could just hit someone up with the boat and head out into deep seas and start fishing

the boat could even be equipped with cooking refinery

this is honestly one of my favorite additions to the game as of late

[lofty fable]

for the trophy thing, if you catch a fish, you could automatically get a blueprint to craft/turn the fish into a trophy

that you can place

[lofty fable]

I think the best step for exo-crafts are to introduce multi-crew for co-op exploration and also have them excel in different areas, a little more than they do now. Here's how I'd do it:

Have multi-crew be an upgrade for the roamer, colossus, and boats if we ever get any.

Roamer as the exploration vehicle. It can traverse any ground terrain with ease, even vertical. Exactly how it is now. With the multi-crew upgrade, the roamer can carry two players (driver included). Second player gets control over the laser/canon

Colossus gets 3 laser canons and with the multi-crew upgrade, it can carry four players (driver included). Right now the colossus has the most storage, that is why I want it to also excel in resource gathering.

The pilgrim is a difficult one, but I honestly think it should just be the fastest exo-craft, and without multi-crew option. Just ridiculously fast and good for racing. And it should not have the ability to climb vertically like the roamer. It should just be FAST.

Nomad should be just as it is now because it already excels in something unlike the others. It can glide over water and is fast. But it also shouldn't be able to climb vertically like the roamer. That should always remain unique to the roamer. No multi-crew for this one either. Can't think of anything else for the nomad.

[dense quartz]

They added third person player death ragdolls!

[lofty fable]

really?

[lofty fable]

how do they look

[dense quartz]

It looks like the usual animation where you drop to your knees and then it changes into a ragdoll where you fall down.
You can only see it for half a second tho.

[pliant aurora]

Sound good. If they do add more water vehicles maybe they could do a multi crew submarine that's the size of the cyclops in subnautica.
Id love to see that

Have someone responsible for the repairs if the sub gets damaged enough

[lofty fable]

i'd love that. i love subnautica. interiors on moving objects is a big technical problem though. i don't mind that we don't have interiors in ships or exocrafts, as long as they have cool functions, feel cool, and are immersive

i'm trying to think of what a submarine could have for purpose

like other than being able to go deep

[dense quartz]

Fishing timing setting. 👀

[lofty fable]

the submarine we have right now is useless. you can literally jump the minotary into however deep water you want

so if they are going to add another submarine and not add underwater mechanics to go with it, then it'd just be another useless exo craft

i dont think the other exocrafts shouldnt be allowed to go into the water, but i think they should have HARD limitations, like being extremely slow no matter your upgrades, and also no oxygen (i think they already dont have that)

and the oxygen depleting faster the deeper you go in a non-submarine exocraf

[dense quartz]

Hopefully Part 2 adds much deeper water biomes that'll take advantage of the submarine.

[lofty fable]

tdlr they should just be trash in water

@pliant aurora i know what a new sub could have - a weapons systems. you know how in subnautica you can stun the big scary fish? something like that on the submarine.

there's a rumored boss fight after all. maybe there could be some deep ocean resource that's very valuable and only way to reach and mine it is by submarine, but it could be risky because deep sea monsters live down there

this'll obviously never happen but i daydream

[pliant aurora]

true im hoping the next update will give it some purpose. I always felt the same about the other exocraft too when they were in the water. I've used them more in the water than the nautilon.

[pliant aurora]

I dont wanna set my expecatations too high but Im crazy excited to see what they deliver for under water. I've been waiting for years for deeper oceans and more interesting water fauna, biomes and we're finally getting closer to it. I just think about getting lost in the ocean exploring.

[glass flare]

sounds like another thing that was probably made for LNF, where you're more expected to fight enemies in groups, and probably fighting humanoid enemies

[grizzled apex]

Oh hey, is it functional now?

[dense quartz]

I guess so, though a lot less derpy than what you showed.
It's really easy to miss it if you're not looking out for it. 😄

[stoic carbon]

I want Naboo.

Underwater caves are awesome but they could be better.

[grizzled apex]

Pretty cool! I'm surprised the patch notes don't mention it, although I guess it is a small change.

I realize now btw the Deepwater Guardian does have a spawning object called the Child Of Aquarius but I still need to check where it can be found

[cursive kernel]

What is the Deepwater guardian

[grizzled apex]

https://youtu.be/In1S4-iBBB4

Take the unused w/ a grain of salt, there's a few missing LOC IDs which made me think it isn't finished, but the actual fish you're supposed to release it spawn it using does seem to exist, so I'm not sure anymore 😅

[cursive kernel]

It does seem unfinished

Just from it being stationary

[grizzled apex]

If anyone happens upon this fish, do lmk! I'll update the description

[cursive kernel]

Do we know what the child of Aquarius looks like

[sour fossil]

Somebody let Craig know there's new confirmed stuff coming in 5.11

[cursive kernel]

There's also the child of Aquarius title apparently??

News to me, but someone said the description is "survive the boiling seas"

Which the boss thingy does mention that

[sour fossil]

checking

yeah it looks like this title would be awarded when player defeats the jellyfish boss

There is a missing link in this connection, here's what I see for now

Player Title is unlocked by getting internal player stat JELLYBOSS to value 1
Stat JELLYBOSS is stored in save data as integer value, starts at 0 by default

I don't see any action that would proc the JELLYBOSS stat to go up by 1

Usually this would be declared in REWARDTABLE.MBIN

[cursive kernel]

Definitely seems like a little something that's slipped through the cracks

Maybe worlds part 2? Depends if they revamp the oceans with that because rn it's not got a lot of space to move around

Though they might also just rescale it down

Oh also does anyone know if the junk upgrades have a separate limit to the purchased modules

[glass flare]

I would think so, they're damaged tech after all

[cursive kernel]

New thing to minmax with

[grizzled apex]

I've posted about it already, expect to see it pop up in the "WORLDS PART 2 CONFIRMED FEATURES" list soon 😛

I think I'll add it to the unused bits mod for people to mess around later... The item exists already, might just plop it in the QS shop... Something I noticed after making my own consumables for it lol

It had the side effect of finally getting me to stop putting off redoing my consumables script though, so that's good

[native carbon]

Sooo the jellyfish boss is not like available to fight

?

[analog breach]

Jellyfish? HG dont know there are others animals that can be used as boss fight? Big shark, squid, ell etc or new wariants of abyssal horror. If its real no suprise it was cuted out

No

[native carbon]

We need a gigant leviathan as a boss

Would be perfect for deep ocean update

[grizzled apex]

It exists and works for the most part, but it's trigger item doesn't seem to spawn naturally, and its missing a few HUD messages and the trigger which unlocks the "Child of Aquarius" title when you kill it

[grizzled apex]

If they've seemingly got renders for sharks, squids and octopi, they might consider turning them into bosses later. This one's just a resize of child of Helios which was probably easier to make as a test?

A lot of assets and features we find are often super early prototypes of systems which change a lot by release.

If they're even released at all that is

[gloomy isle]

Part of me is expecting that it'll be a boss in the deep water areas on ocean planets

Triggered by releasing haunted fish down there

[glad kernel]

@grizzled apex Hi, I sent you a message. Can you check it?🙂

[grizzled apex]

The default trigger doesn't differentiate b/w where you release it, but the Child of Aquarius fish you need to release to spawn it might show up in deep water planets

[analog breach]

It does looks like one of the early prototypes. I just hope they will not use jellyfish as boss. Imo its overused. Child of helios, jellyfish in water, when destoying asteroids now this boss

[native carbon]

Maybe its a placeholder for the squid-kraken like creature, we can catch squids using the fishing rod soo maybe

[analog breach]

I would lean towards abyssal horrors. I have to finish exp and gather more lore bottles. Maybe there is some kind a hint there.

[wind panther]

Purple systems will be half abandoned and half uncharted. Extremely high rare asteroids, 1/3 extreme weather planets

[spice sky]

what the

[spice sky]

what IS the trigger item?

[spice sky]

Ahh

so save edit to get it in inventory

[wind panther]

Octopus bobble bonus is 1.05 boost

So same as Artemis

The expedition fishing rod doesn't have any special stats or anything

[icy citrus]

But it does have something I'm interested in

That color scheme bb

White and orange my darling

[gloomy isle]

Weird that they've seemingly integrated standing on moving vehicles specifically for the skiff

It's also even weirder that you have to move it by summoning it lol

[hybrid pendant]

🤨

?

what im i waking up to

[grizzled apex]

I might try to hook to that function and see if it's possible to "steer" it without having to summon, although there isn't really a good way to get the transform vector...

[hybrid pendant]

already in the top 10 best selling games on steam

[grizzled apex]

Also thankfully the function signature for what I was hooking to enable purple star spawn hasn't changed, so if anyone's willing to set up NMS.py, I can give them the script to check out the Purple Systems

[hybrid pendant]

u think they didnt found out that and didnt removed it in 5.1?

because i remember they did that before for stuff we datamined

nice.

[grizzled apex]

Not sure, thankfully not a lotta NMS "Content" Creators covered the post where I actually spawned them in, so it likely didn't get as much attention as things like the stations or biomes

[hybrid pendant]

khraze did if i remember soo

but i hope not

[icy citrus]

Good, I don't want to have to keep deleting and warning people for posting pictures of them in #nms-photomode-gallery

[prime osprey]

Can u transfer the large skiff out of the expedition?

[prime osprey]

The best step for exocrafts is to fix the instakill splash damage bug

[dense quartz]

I think the timers for settlement constructions have been completely removed.

[sour fossil]

The values stored in main file controlling settlements are still the same compared to 5.05

[dense quartz]

Oh interesting. I built an entire building in the settlement without any timers. Just the percentage of it's construction went up to 100% if a matter of seconds.

Players are now alerted to new record catches.

Also this experimental change, isn't this already a thing when you discover a new wonder?

[sour fossil]

Record prolly refers to "new biggest / heaviest fish" in the same category

[young quest]

First lush ruin biomes and now radioactive ruins

I’m starting to think we’ll get ruins variants on all planet types

[ebon spoke]

Radioactive ruins are from origins

They're the ones with the wierd geometric shapes

[pliant aurora]

Im still surprised they havent bothered with letting us see parts of our character model in first person without VR.

[gusty stream]

Yeah tbh they need to update first person mode

It's virtually the same as from 1.0

Which is crazy

[pliant aurora]

Exactly

[thorny rune]

Do we know if the new figurine gives some kind of a bonus?

[uncut harness]

It has an adjacency bonus to some of the other bobbleheads but I haven't figured out what it boosts yet.

[glass flare]

it's the same bonus as the Artemis bobblehead

[analog breach]

Do the bonuses stack tho?

[thorny rune]

oh neat. does it stack with Aretemis?

[glass flare]

mm I'm not sure

[uncut harness]

Has anyone figured out how to get the new title "Child of Aquarius" yet?

[drifting quarry]

Lore-wise, who do you guys think left the hermetic seal behind at the beginning? Artemis, or a previous iteration of ourself?

[grizzled apex]

You need to catch and release a "Child of Aquarius" fish, which doesn't seem to be used in game yet.

Coincidentally it's the same fish you'd release to summon the Deepwater Guardian boss if it was used

[cursive kernel]

Large skiff?

The one with the extra inventory?

[solar cairn]

Iiiinteresting

[runic mesa]

Anyone else notice there's 3 new exocraft tech greyed out in the catalog?

[native carbon]

i really hope those r for the exoskiff

[analog breach]

Skiff does not have tech slots tho

[native carbon]

they can allways add em

[analog breach]

I just want more storage in it. 10 slots is laughable amount.

[native carbon]

same

[runic mesa]

And the expedition skiff has larger, so it's not like they can't

[native carbon]

i really want those 3 upgrades for exoskiff
-more stable during storms upgrade
-bigger inventory upgrade
-an upgrade that allows you to control it

[icy citrus]

It's a bug

New saves have 60 slots on their skiff

[runic mesa]

Ahhh

[icy citrus]

Nutrient processor did this same thing when it first updated the size of storage

[analog breach]

Would be perfect if the skiff boxes had seperate storage . One for baits. One for fish. And maybe fishing rod storage (few tech slots storage)

[sour fossil]

say what

[sour fossil]

Uhh I dont see anything

[icy citrus]

Yes

[icy citrus]

Saves made before the update have 10, saves made after have 60

[sour fossil]

ohhhhhhhh

I reckon this is the same shit as with Trade Rocket

Why some people have 12 slots while others have 21

[icy citrus]

Nutrient processor did it for awhile too

Common theme there, summonable tech with its own inventory

[analog breach]

Cool so it will be patched soon right ? Right?

[runic mesa]

Ahh, looks like I don't have the cannister mods for some reason.

[icy citrus]
