Did anybody start to like vykeen the more they interacted with them? I used to dislike them a lot earlier in the game due to the fact that they are aggressive weirdos, but the more time I spent in vykeen systems (discovering monoliths, language stones etc) the more I realized that they might actually be the most friendly race

You see, non-vendor korvax are only seemingly motivated to interact with the player by their curiosity to study and analyze them and gek only want them sweet sweet units (also whatever magic nanites do to their lizard brains)

[zenith perch]

its a fishing game now

[digital frigate]

making a lifeform ship takes ages .w. how many more parts you need me to wait for

[heady wyvern]

It's five in total.

[digital frigate]

ah my 4th is building now

[digital frigate]

i forgot they added that omg

i need to do that!

[valid barn]

you need to build living ships now?

does that mean you can scrap them for parts?

[broken latch]

is there in theory a galaxy unaffected by atlas? like no sentinels, close to no flora/fauna, close to no lifeforms, close to real life universe

[broken latch]

always had to

them organs have to mature

[analog breach]

Yeah but u arrived to the living ship crash site that is already there. So technicaly u just replace broken parts.

U dont build living ship from 0

[shell sandal]

How do I find the vault towers?

[valid barn]

well if you're on switch, just fly around a planet and they just appear right in front of you... sometimes behind you.
But they're the largest building with a big tower and several landing pads, a guild envoy, and a bunch of NPCs you can learn words from.

[shell sandal]

I play on Xbox One

[valid barn]

then you probably have not flown straight into one yet

[shell sandal]

Not yet

[valid barn]

just look for a building the size of a freighter

[outer cobalt]

Not really a question that requires the spoiler channel.
You can use Planetary Charts to find them too.

[valid barn]

at the top of the stairs near the Envoy's desk there's the area pictured above, you can 'ctually walk through the red laser beams

[halcyon storm]

Has it ever been specified what biome korvax/vykeen homeworld is? I think korvax prime was implied to be a barren world but I'm not sure.

[valid barn]

none of the npc races seem to be at all affected by hazard

[autumn steeple]

Are there any theories on who or what places their hand on Atlas's glass in its simulations of its final moments?

[glass flare]

My guess is that there is no one there -- the civilization that created Atlas fled the star system long ago -- and that Atlas is basically hallucinating a comforting image. Because after all Atlas is an AI that has developed emotions

[runic creek]

Maybe it's found a way to transcend reality? perhaps become... a singularity?

[glass flare]

In what way could it transcend reality? 🤔

[coarse zenith]

I always figured it was its creator

[clever creek]

I found out that Artemis is dead😵‍💫

or died before I got there

[uncut quest]

hi

I'm doing first traveller

did you let the guy die or put him in computer?

[icy citrus]

I let them go

[clever creek]

Computer

[urban river]

I’ve done both, no difference in game terms

[barren garden]

One difference: During The Purge, you get a transmission a few jumps after the first transmission (6 jumps total, I think) if you put them in the computer; if you don't, then you don't get the second transmission

[honest bolt]

Hah. Plot thinkens. "sixteen" for Korvax considered an aggression word

I know about "sixteen" in context of glyphs, Atlas plot related one, but nothing of it makes 16 an aggresion word? Unless I misunderstading something, Are there a different "16"?

[heady wyvern]

"Sixteen." The number of minutes before the Atlas dies. It's reasonable to assume that entities in the simulation have an adverse reaction to the word, knowing that.

(even if they don't entirely comprehend why they find it repulsive)

[honest bolt]

Well, it is not always 16, though? Like, it is actually counting? it was 17 before. And it does actually countdowns to 0 during the quest.

Like, it happens to be 16 right now

[heady wyvern]

It is counting. However, it is counting on a timescale that is far beyond our comprehension

It is sixteen minutes in the Atlas's local time, but it could very well be millenia in ours

[honest bolt]

Text does says it, but once you recieve all the glyphs and open the portal (if I not misremembering) - it teleports you to the different location where it counts from 16 to 0?

[heady wyvern]

This is something else. If the Atlas died in that moment, you'd definitely not be here now.

[honest bolt]

In sort of "there is an iternity, but you stuck to the end of it there" style. At least this is how I read it?

Also, it is 16 minutes to reset of this iteration, and not of the Atlas itself? I need to admit, parts of this quest contradict itself

[heady wyvern]

Sixteen minutes until the Atlas, as a whole, dies.

[uncut quest]

^thanks

[celest pier]

so the expedition ending, did the angler... Turn into a fish???

[glass flare]

fishing is really about the fish you turn into along the way

[celest pier]

so true

[valid barn]

when was it 17?

[valid barn]

is there more to the VOF story after using the forged passport?

[valid barn]

what does this mean?

[broken latch]

is permadeath considered simulation if you cant respawn and have one life only, aswell as separated from regular players

[icy citrus]

Yes

[uncut harness]

permadeath is where you put Artemis /s

[valid barn]

what is a relic gate?

[fair flume]

is there any lore about what these are and why they are EVERYWHERE?

[valid barn]

I have an idea but it's not cnnon

[gloomy isle]

I think it's just supposed to be generic debris, tbh I think they could do with a redo maybe

[indigo patrol]

can someone clear me up on those wired planets with those cool cables. they look so sinister and mysterious i love it. what does the anomaly amount mean though?

[valid barn]

cables?

[zenith perch]

Sean, he whispered an emoji

[zenith perch]

Like corruption amount or boundary failure or whatever it labels it as

[zenith perch]

The angler was the fish all along afaict

[celest pier]

Wait what

[zenith perch]

I think the point of the expedition was that it was just meant to be a journey about letting something go

Well if you read the description it means "it wants to be free" and implies its impossible in some way

And you get 1600 units for selling it, and 16 is a lore number

[celest pier]

I’m more confused now Imao

Nms never ceases to boggle my mind

[indigo patrol]

i wonder tho what that means xD

cause these words make even less sense to me

[zenith perch]

Lost Angler and The Angler aren't exactly confirmed to be the same thing

[celest pier]

Oh I see

[indigo patrol]

any german here who could translate me a word?

Im in an "unbewohnt" system. that is not abanndoned right?

cause there seem to be both abandonned and uncharted

[heady wyvern]

If there's a broken-to-shit station with nobody in it, call it "abandoned."

If there's no station at all, call it "uncharted."

[dense phoenix]

It means unpopulated
So it's probably abandoned

[indigo patrol]

well unpopulated means there never has been while abandoned means there was if im correctly

[indigo patrol]

okay thanks will go there again to check. was just fascinated of one star system since it had either creepy planets, anormal planets or robotic creatures

[sour fossil]

I was out of the loop for the laast couple days since 5.12 dropped

Did anybody mention HG is working on a Nexus mission related to fishing?

Mission Titles:
Gone Fishin`
Down by the Water
Wading In
Taking the Bait
Waterside Lure
Call of the Water
Fresh Fish

Mission Subtitle:
Research aquatic animals

Mission Description:
Nada seeks samples of the galaxy's more unusual fish, as they seek to further their understanding of the different ways in which life can manifest.
Catching the creatures is sufficient for the remote monitoring scans to run. They may be released or processed as you please afterwards. Dedicated teams of research-minded anglers are sought for the task.

Mission Objectives:
Catch <amount> uncommon fish

And a couple other text objects can be found in 5.12 language files

No actual mission structure though

[signal oxide]

Im here

[left jacinth]

@signal oxide so new beginnings asks you if you want to stay in euclid (curreent galaxy) or go to a new one

the map when you warp is all euclid

if you leave euclid you can come back ut if you choose to go to a new galaxy it is basically like visiting another realm

there are something like 255 galaxies to explore

[signal oxide]

DANG

[left jacinth]

THAT is the end of the artemis questline

[signal oxide]

Well so basically the choice you talking about was earlier and I chose new galaxy (Didnt know I could stay in the euclid one, tho thats not that big of the problem so dont mind it) Tho MY "new beginings" says "ohoho frendo, you've got new galaxy to explore, so as whole universe"

And thats it, it just says to EXPLORE

yay

[left jacinth]

yep

did you already do the atlas questline?

thats another main storyline

[signal oxide]

Nope

Is this storyline THAT important anyway?

[left jacinth]

its a main storyline

[muted moth]

and there are a bunch of side quests too (dreams of the deep. voice of freedom. trace of metal. etc etc)

[left jacinth]

if you care about the lore then it is very fun, and it also gives a pretty nice reward when you beat all of them

[signal oxide]

The atlas one? dang alright

[muted moth]

also there's lore at the 'boundary failure' structures which is pretty good if you pay attention to lore in games

[left jacinth]

yep

[signal oxide]

Reward? Hell yea Im on it

[left jacinth]

and yeah the quests that apergos listed i consider to be main questlines but just endgame cause you cant do them until you beat artemis

but they are tied to opening up even more mechanics to the game

[nova axle]

So if I've discovered a ||new galaxy||, found a space station, and then warped back to ||Euclid||, can I still warp back to the ||space station in the new galaxy?|| I swear I've looked through my entire list of space stations and all of them say ||Euclid galaxy||.

oh i forget to remove the spoilers thing oops

this is a spoilers channel lol

[frigid valley]

best way to make sure that you can return to the new galaxy is to drop a base, but station will work too as long as it stays on your list (itll eventually go away as you discover more systems)

[nova axle]

My space station list isn't full but the station is not on there for some reason

[frigid valley]

Might have not saved for whatever reason, you can either core warp to get to the next galaxy on the list or ask someone to taxi you there

!starcablink @nova axle

what is this server?

[frigid valley]

Its a server specialising in helping players reach different locations and galaxies

[nova axle]

ok, cool!

[copper bay]

ok so

hunter is a predator

sailor ocean king and stuff

watery planet, thus it's a planet with water and predators so far

[frigid valley]

those are glyphs

not planets

ocean king == Whale

[copper bay]

[outer cobalt]

There's a pin in here that has them all: #nms-spoilers message

[muted moth]

it tells you "euclid euclid euclid" at the end for a reason and it's not because just warping around you'll get there....

it's because people who have access to the particular mode of travel may also be in the wrong galaxy and that address won't get them to the right planet

[copper bay]

btw how do u get that helmet u have in the propic?

[frigid valley]

Eye of the korvax, Quicksilver shop at the space anomaly

[copper bay]

aight thx

[indigo patrol]

question. I found a cool spezies but it looks different in the inventory to what I see on the overworld. is there a reason why?

do they change appearance when they grow?

or do they have variations when they spawn?

just example. cannot post screenshots here

[nova axle]

Is Eissentam the lush galaxy that the player visits upon beating the game for the first time (if they choose lush)

And how do i find a portal (I have already finished story mode, so i do have all the glyphs)

[glass flare]

what you're seeing in the Discoveries screen is an example of that species, but not that particular creature that you found. the creatures of a species can vary in look a bit (like real animals)

[indigo patrol]

thanks for the info. im glad. i really love the bat rabbit like variant a lot. these creatures are hella amazing and im quiet sad I can only have 6 at the moment because nanit prices go up each time xD

is there more interaction with them like maybe letting them run around in base or let them stay there?

[cloud jolt]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

<:info:850810445577453658> Which orb do I pick?

• This decision will damage everything that's still installed in Exosuit, active Ship and Multi-tool tech inventories (exception: exosuit core techs e.g. Life Support).

• Each of the 4 orbs represent 1 of 4 galaxy types in the game, and while this decision can't be repeated in the current save, it's easy enough to reach galaxies of other types later.

• Orb and associated type:

  • Teal/Norm (Euclid, the starter galaxy is Norm, the base weighting for biome spawns)
  • Red/Harsh (More extreme survival planets)
  • Blue/Empty (More dead and weird biome planets)
  • Green/Lush (More lush biome planets)

• If the player is still in Euclid at this point, then:

  • Teal leads to Hilbert Dimension (2);
  • Red leads to Calypso (3);
  • Blue leads to Budullangr (7);
  • Green leads to Eissentam (10).

• Space Anomaly teleporter is often an easy way to reach other galaxy types later; it's not uncommon for there to be a Featured Base in Eissentam.

[coarse kraken]

Caught them all! Anyone know how many messages in bottles there are?

Catching all the fish doesn’t unlock the title „… , child of Aquarius“. I wonder what does. Survive the boiling seas…?

[sour fossil]

It's an unfinished boss battle thingy

If you search this channel you will find BomberBoi reporting on this

(or maybe it was Aymang, sorry if I mixed it up)

[outer cobalt]

Are you asking about the Expedition bottles or the regular ones?

[coarse kraken]

regular. I have 5 and was just wondering if I should keep going

[outer cobalt]

Sounds like you are referring to the 5 expedition ones

The regular Junk ones are made up of random parts to construct the message

So no clue how many, but that will be a lot due to all the combinations possible

[coarse kraken]

Ah ,so the regular are proc-gen? That would be a immense waste of time.

[outer cobalt]

Yes, they are, for as far as I am aware, not tracked for titles, or anything special like that. Possibly just a counter at best

[coarse kraken]

Okay, thanks. So back to hunting GMBs

[placid latch]

Have there always been Atlantids at ruins?

Sorry, I meant autophages

[gloomy isle]

Iirc they can spawn at most POIs

I've not seen them there before though

[sour fossil]

Waypoints, drop pods, crashed freighters, damaged machinery / debris

Prolly forgot about some other types but these can have Autophage camps

I wouldn't say "most of POIs" though

[worthy star]

Do we have any information about the 5th star colour that might be added?

[sour fossil]

use the Discord search, posts from ThatBomberBoi, keyword purple

They have done tests on spawning of purple systems

[worthy star]

Thanks 👍

[uncut harness]

This is so impressive!! How long did it take you? I'm struggling even to get everything from one biome!

[coarse kraken]

It took me from start of the expedition until yesterday at about 2-5 hours per day. Don’t bother with anything other than bionic lure and water depth is key to size (20-30m for small/medium, +50m for large/collosal. Also multiple microbbases with 3 traps in lots of biomes.

Oh and a fisherman’s patience helps. 😬

[fair flume]

the game's bugs are actually intended atlas lore

[valid barn]

BOOOOOOO

[icy reef]

bugs are just unintended features

[uncut harness]

Does anyone have news about next update?

[flat sluice]

we don't really know anything yet. nothing has been revealed (except Sean posting pot emoji earlier this month? maybe that's still relevant?)

[crystal token]

hey, does my stuff get broken every time I enter a new galaxy?

[fervent fern]

If you jump through the core to get to a new one, yes.
If you access a new galaxy by teleporting to a base there or joining a friend's game, no.

[crystal token]

Oh dear. Well looks like I'll either be hunting quick galaxy shifts or maybe some space crabs. Cabs? Crabs. I forget what they're called.

[river aspen]

The universe in Adrift was the 1.0 version of the game? In lore

[mental socket]

so what exactly happened to our save files now with todays experimental?

Is the cloud save stuff finally taking shape properly?

@grizzled apex happen to have any knowledge on this apart from the earlier QR code stuff?

They do have a new warning about unforeseen issues with this one

[grizzled apex]

They updated the Cloud Save UI slightly compared to what we had before

[mental socket]

hmm hmm

[grizzled apex]

ironically they did similar, really tiny tweaks last experimental too

[mental socket]

but the save file format had no changes?

[grizzled apex]

Pictures of it last experimental (16/09)

And in today's experimental

You can actually see some of the UI updates they did when you hit the Quit to Desktop button in game right now

[mental socket]

ah neato

[grizzled apex]

No format changes from what I can see. I'm trynna decompile the Mac exe to see if there are any new functions related to cloud saves since they mention a change in backend

[mental socket]

Yeah. Curious about the changes and improvements. Maybe stuff to improve file size when uploading to cloud?

[mental socket]

The notification when exiting game is interesting. So they do perform some type of general bulk saving for your whole "account" in the main menu now? Or the "last saved" timestamp is only for the latest save file?

[grizzled apex]

Cloud Manager too I missed that here 😅

[mental socket]

I sure hope the next title update will have this functionality in it

[mental socket]

But yeah. Does the timestamp in the exit game prompt refer to just the latest save file or some type of new bulk "account" save for all of your stuff?

[grizzled apex]

Hmm, doesn't seem to be. The quit to desktop dialogue is kinda old, but they updated it likely because the cloud save popup uses the same "component" as it's base

[mental socket]

ah

Only difference appears to be the timestamp. Or I could be remembering incorrectly

and visuals ofc

[grizzled apex]

They seem to be working on this pretty actively imo. I wonder if it'll drop as part of the PS5 Pro Patch, or as part of something else that comes before

[mental socket]

could be a solo drop like crossplay

[grizzled apex]

Could be. They added the save version to the main menu and a few unused strings about save load errors recently too

[river aspen]

Who is Leto?

[glass flare]

or PS5 Pro and cloud saves will be rolled into Part 2

there's probably only one update left this year

[lofty fable]

man im hype for worlds part 2

[native carbon]

same.....
if my theory is right we are gettin worlds part 2 on october 23th

[pliant aurora]

september already almost over too. Felt like aquarius dropped a few days ago. October gonna fly by.

October would be the perfect time for all those creepy assets data mined

[native carbon]

Abyss 2.0 is what im predicting

Deep oceans pweease

[glass flare]

I really hope it's not just horror-themed. The deep ocean on Earth and the creatures in it can be horrific, but many can also be beautiful and tranquil

[pliant aurora]

Im hoping all of what looked like aquatic creatures on the art board in the worlds pt 1 deep dive video make it in part 2.

Silly Update Theory

Expedition ending = emoji (happened 2 times in a row)
expedition ends october 21th. October 23th is the closest wednesday.

Adrift - Earth emoji (worlds part 1)
Liquidators - Pot emoji (Aquarius)
Aquarius - ???

Based on the datamined content and other stuff its gonna be either ocean themed, or Void mother themed.
[Worlds part 2 or the last update for the autophages]

Heres what to expect if its worlds part 2:

New ocean planets with deeper oceans
depth pressure
jellyfish bossfight
many new aquatic creatures

Heres what to expect if its the void mother themed update:

Purple systems
ARG
more autophage lore
more void mother lore

we will see if my theory is right in october. (most likely)

[native carbon]

27 days

[pliant aurora]

Im def feeling it will be ocean themed since that would be the perfect follow up from aquarius

[pliant aurora]

I do hope we end up with more than just a jelly fish boss tho

[glass flare]

It will be both deep oceans and purple systems. Because you can't have deep ocean worlds without doing new terrain algorithms, and the only way HG is comfortable doing that is by adding new planets to the universe

[native carbon]

im pretty sure they can just add new planets to old systems

they did it before (with ultra exotics if im not wrong)

[native carbon]

also no need to use any new terrain generation, just a water raise + depth pressure

BTW, in the aquarius and worlds part 1 trailer we can see ground plants spawn half underwater

so i bet they are testing something with water level

[native carbon]

rocks cannot spawn like that atm

same with the flowers

[ebon spoke]

They can do that with the debug tools

Most likely they just forced water on that planet to film the trailer there

[glass flare]

I mean maybe, but considering "don't drink the water" is a long time meme where NPCs are getting corrupted with nanites, and we know that VM is using nanites to reprogram stuff, it seems likely that the deep oceans content and Void Mama's corrupted systems are linked

[fierce frost]

@native carbon Any suggestions on how to datamine content? also, is it legal?

[faint pilot]

When showing the Atlas a wonder, the sentence "Somewhere out in the beyond, a new star is born, seeded by what I have seen..." Does that actually create a new solar system somewhere, or is it just flavor text?

[glass flare]

flavor text

im at dust of creation atlas quest

The universe is Atlas. Atlas is the universe. Or rather, Atlas is the one running the show.

Is there a place with all gek lore and information besides the normal ask around reddit or youtube videos? Wanted to further expand my knowledge, and been long since I have read all the in game plaques and stuff. Will appreciate any help on this personal research

[outer cobalt]

I used to try keep up with all that, just from the game files, but it is a LOT, and also a lot of work separating it all and putting it into comprehensive somewhat easy to read overviews. Not to mention keeping it up to date. This is likely why you do not usually see all this done out there. For that matter, you'd likely look into the game files yourself. Unpack the game files, look into the localisation/language files understand how they are used by ID, and start grouping it all by subject, organising it where need be, and read it all.
Example of my old 'Lore & More' work: https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/nms-lore-more-spoilers-version-1-38/3318

To add, for getting into the game files, if interested, I suggest checking out #nms-modding or visit the NMS Modding Discord, which I am sure is in one of the pins, or someone will post an invite link

[real sage]

Thanks for the reply, sadly I cant look on game files from the xbox, I am trying to find up the most Gek information lore language ect that I can get in order to compile into a index for an upcoming community hub project, and ofc because Im curious of all things gek

[autumn condor]

How did people feel about reaching the center of the galaxy?

I really loved the song and the zooming backwards animation was nice and pretty. Got my heart pumping for a moment. But I also thought: Hm, for all the time I've put into reaching it and it being teased everywhere that this is the main story goal, after thinking about it I felt that I would have expected something (visually?) more elaborate. Technically seemed like it wasn't much effort put into this outro, except the song composers?

I was also hoping that the closer I would get on my "lonely" adventure that the probability would increase to see human made structures and civilizations. And meet an actual, other human traveler on the same journey to the center. A random stranger I could share the last miles and steps with and might maybe bond with after this shared experience. A bonding with this specific human(s) that only happened due to the decisions and paths we have both/all chosen along the way.

Instead I found some static bases and messages (which is nice / better than nothing). But no actual, real human on the whole journey of 150 hours of play time other than in the Anomaly.

Did anyone have similar thoughts and feelings?

A simple way to "fix" this would have been the following: Allow a player to transmit some broadcast of maybe x LY divided by its charging percentage, fully charged over 15 minutes for instance. x depends on the current number of people to the center. So that you would ping now and then on your journey. And the closer you get the more likely it is to get a ping. Which would allow you to coordinate to meet and do these final "miles" together? The ping would not contain any text, but would just be shown as a direction on the galaxy map. Then you could decide if you'd want to ping back. And/or would want fly towards the received ping.

[native carbon]

reaching the center of the galaxy is not the main goal of the game. its for a player to enter a different galaxy. The main goal of the game however is you finding what you enjoy the most in NMS.

[autumn condor]

Good point with the number of options you have in NMS. But then let me rephrase "main goal" as the "main story's goal"?

[native carbon]

its just an illusion, u dont have to actually warp towards the centre (if u are talking about the purge part of the story), u just need to warp 16 times

[native carbon]

but yeah i totally understand your point with the centre of the galaxy, its quite boring

[autumn condor]

you mean bc. you'd just need to warp 16 times to get all glyphs and then portal close to the center?

[native carbon]

no no

[autumn condor]

or for the choice to shutdown the simulation? and start over in a new galaxy sooner? but that wouldn't get you to the center, or would it? (I had chosen to let the simulation keep running)

[native carbon]

from what i remember after 16 warps u go thru a portal (story portal) to atlas and then u choose to reset the simulation or... i forgot the 2nd option but if u pick the reset u go to a different galaxy (which is technically going thru the centre but like... not really?)

[autumn condor]

ah, yeah, that's what I ment. I had chosen the second option, to not reset and keep it running.

[native carbon]

yeah, u need to reach the core by yourself, story doesnt bring u to the center

[native carbon]

also my tip on reaching the centre is that the black hole always teleports you closer to the core

sooo if u gonna enter a black hole thats around the core u will not go far

[autumn condor]

right, also did that, using the black holes. and they didn't seem to work anymore once I was at < 10'000 LY

[native carbon]

yup

[pliant aurora]

This the most hype i been for a NMS update in a long time

[runic mesa]

Me: trying to catch up on recipes before WP2 adds 500 new ones. 😛

[native carbon]

lmao so true

[native carbon]

keep in mind that im Not Sean and the 23th of october is MY theory, it can be and prob. will be wrong soooo im just overhyping myself

but im like 80% sure its either 23th or 30th of october

[native carbon]

24 days

[lofty fable]

why on earth is cooking and recipes a thing

cooking specifically

what a weird aspect to focus on to be honest

[glass flare]

some people are really into that stuff, and it makes sense for a very crafting-focused game

[subtle gorge]

It was a surprisingly big fan request in the early days, like pets and other small stuff.

Beyond kinda just had a lot of stuff like that

[valid barn]

a Void-kamph test has more depth than the Artemis path

[long raven]

Fair lmfao

[grizzled apex]

I was going through the Deep Dive concept art again and saw this snail thing which kinda looks like the snail renders we have now...
I really wish HG would release concept art for their updates after they've been released, especially for the whole Worlds saga (whenever it's fully finished). It'd be so interesting seeing the evolution of their ideas into what finally makes it into the game

[long raven]

@bronze arrow
Killed my first Walker

I'm going for the nest 🪹

[boreal gust]

So when u just start then game

Did u reset the universe?

[analog breach]

No

U are just one of the anomaly iterration.

[native carbon]

im like 100% sure we are getting an ocean themed update soon

october 23th or 30th

well not 100% but chances are big imo

[grizzled apex]

Current server timestamps show the fireworks CM ending at ||7th November|| which is the last one in the files (and coincidentally the launch date for the PS5 Pro), and Aquarius ends on the 21st of October, so a considerable amount of time between the two for an update cycle likely

[native carbon]

i think its either october 23th or 30th because we got an emoji when expedition was ending twice in a row

[grizzled apex]

Welp, still a month to go

[native carbon]

sooo u r saying its between 21st of october and 7th november?

[native carbon]

GG my pact is doomed

[grizzled apex]

Something would definitely need to drop before the 7th since HG don't usually risk the CM items running out. The 7th could have a patch for the PS5 Pro with some assets for the expedition reruns, and an actual content update before it which will also have new CM items to keep the list running till at least after the reruns

[native carbon]

welp the mods will doom me

[analog breach]

😈👌

[lofty fable]

expedition, another expedition, expedition reruns

please no

[grizzled apex]

I don't think the next drop's a unique expedition...

[native carbon]

im THAT cooked

[analog breach]

Time will tell

[grizzled apex]

There's been a new expedition on the servers for a few weeks, which given how quickly it popped up after Aquarius, is likely the reruns already being uploaded instead of a new unique expedition

[native carbon]

i swear its october 30th trust

[lofty fable]

23rd

[native carbon]

too early

soooo my countdown went from 24 days to 31 days

[analog breach]

Im expecting some polishing update before exp reruns that will add some features to already existing features new rooms on stations, fishing gear etc. and maybe some fixes.

[native carbon]

im expecting worlds part 2 even tho you are prob. right

[grizzled apex]

Makes sense with some of the unused text strings these past experimentals. At most one could expect cloud saves being added too, but it feels too late in the year for WPII atp

[analog breach]

Im still waiting for the " BIG " thing that sean said nms will have in 2024

[native carbon]

its worlds part 2!!!!1 trust

[grizzled apex]

They don't seem to be great on their timelines haha. The 4 part arc was allegedly planned to end in 2023, but if that's what these Purple Systems are gonna be a part of, it might just be pushed back to 2025 atp

[analog breach]

Yeah...

Arg is a letdown atm

[native carbon]

also guys so u r sayin that worlds part 2 is most likely not the next update?

[analog breach]

Still on cards but dont have biggest chances

[grizzled apex]

I don't see something (supposedly) this big dropping near the end of the year, especially with a PS5 Pro upgrade aimed for around the time of the reruns. The way Martin's been talking about it on twitter, the upgrade seems to have been a big undertaking, and having both it's, and World's Part 2's bug fix cycles overlap sounds like a nightmare

[native carbon]

Man.... kinda sob

But its understandable

[pliant aurora]

i still have faith

[native carbon]

My faith ia gon

Is*

E

[pliant aurora]

lmao

[native carbon]

Ngl i dont think the PS5 upgrade is gonna be that massive, just texture and light tweaks nothing like mindblowing, also whats wrong with releasing a big update at the end of the year?

Wasnt Echoes released at the end too?

Wait nvm

[grizzled apex]

For the end user, there wouldn't be massive changes, but you have to realize HG work with a home-built engine, meaning support for ANY platform is entirely on HG.

Reading Martin Griffith's tweets really makes you appreciate the work that goes into the process, and just how much work goes into producing a single build. It generally goes underappreciated in the community

End of year updates also likely clash with their internal office times. No one wants to be stuck fixing bugs during holiday season, and the reruns are a safe way to avoid work around that period while giving people something to do.

[native carbon]

Aaaah

Mb

[lofty fable]

part 2 was 100% worked on with part 1 though. same update split into two, so the features in worlds part 2 will have been worked on for just as long

IMO pretty high chance of WP2 being the last update. they wanted to end on a bang, right.

because ps5 isn't a big deal at all neither are expedition reruns

[grizzled apex]

It's less of how much work is done on the update, and more about the post release support they'd have to go through around the holidays. Remember the delays on WPI?

[lofty fable]

idk about that because they'd have a couple weeks, almost a month to fix it up a little bit

not really an issue

[grizzled apex]

In any case, it's HG's product, with their own schedules and timings. I don't think anyone should go in expecting Worlds Part 2 just because anything else is "not much of an effort"

[lofty fable]

yeah

[grizzled apex]

In hindsight, a lot of the technical work on the engine feels like it's "not a big challenge" either until you read what Martin's talked about recently, where you realize how much work goes completely ignored and unappreciated simply because it's not big and flashy

HG really should share more Dev insights because not having a view of their internal efforts really makes people a lot more demanding and thankless when seemingly smaller content drops, which might've been a big challenge internally

[lofty fable]

that's what im saying none of this makes sense if it's not wp2 lol

there are too many indicators

for all i care i hope they cook with wp2 however long it'll take ig

[pliant aurora]

Only reason Im keeping some faith is because Sean said on the Worlds Part 1 post that this is the largest update of the year so far so maybe Worlds Pt 2 could still be a possibility.

Idk well just have to wait and see really

[native carbon]

Another thing why i want Worlds part 2 asap is because i bet we are getting another world design reset and because of this im not really motivated to explore and build bases

[grizzled apex]

Their philosophy since Origins has been "add, not replace", and with how Purple Systems replace phantom stars and could be used for new worldgen, i dont think anyone should be too worried about base issues, as much as id like a full universe reset myself...

[grizzled apex]

thats... because general system generation doesn't allow for all dissonant systems. If anything, i'd say them having some separate generation rules for Purple Systems is a good indication of them going the full mile with more custom worldgen to take the most advantage of this expansion, because this is NOT a very sustainable thing, ie they can't add too many new system types back to back, so they'd have something planned for these to make working on a new system type even worth it.

[glass flare]

The only precedent we have for HG creating new planets was that the terrain was brand new algorithms, so I don’t know why you’d think they would just be the same stuff we have

[native carbon]

Also, new content (terrain generation, other stuff) locked behind purple systems would be meh but thats my opinion

[grizzled apex]

If you're at a point where upgrading from the Indium Drive to a new Purple Drive is big enough of a challenge for it to be considered "locked", you have many more update's worth of content to go through already imo

[native carbon]

wait let me explain again

imagine they added deep ocean right (they can be only found in the new purple systems)
aaand from what i heard the new drive needs dissonant materials.
Now tell me - why would i need to make a drive using DISSONANT materials just to get to deep oceans, like what dissonance has to do with new terrain

[drowsy hare]

Why do npc afraid of 16 16 16? When ever 16 16 16 comes in conversation, npc starts glitching

[native carbon]

whatever they are cooking im sure it will be good but like...

[drowsy hare]

Is that because ATLAS trying to prevent discussion about 16 16 16?

[native carbon]

If the new terrain would have connection to the dissonance stuff they sure im fine with it

[grizzled apex]

The void mother has her origins in factory logs related to water. Half of all oceans in the Multiverse are controlled by her via the nanites spread into them by the Sentinels under her command. The ocean motif has been mentioned time and time again connected to her. I'm not sure anything else ties quite as well into her growing control over the universe.

[native carbon]

okay, lets replace the deep oceans with.... working rivers

how about that

[grizzled apex]

Which mind you, we have absolutely 0 evidence for right now.

[native carbon]

yeah.... my argument starts to make 0 sense

whatever they are cooking im sure it will be good

[grizzled apex]

The only new terrain feature we even have a hint for are deeper oceans, which in the end may not even end up in the game, much like other ill fated datamined content. And with HG's apparent aversion to universal resets and a new star type being heavily hinted towards, this appears to be the only logical way for such oceans to be implemented

[native carbon]

wait if i think about it, that could be sick, like corrupted super deep oceans with monstrosities at the bottom

yeah Bomber, i changed my mind, i would actually enjoy that.

[native carbon]

btw can they just add new systems like that? how about the glyphs?

[grizzled apex]

The purple systems don't "add" new systems per say. Each galactic region can hold 4096 star systems, out of which only ~400-600 are accessible in game, the rest whilst valid, are invisible and hidden on the galaxy map. What HG are doing (currently in game at least), is ignoring the first 1000 star systems (so fully avoiding any normally inhabited system), and then activating a set number of the stars after the first 1000 as Purple Systems, which also seems to change how the planets inside them generate

[native carbon]

Aah

[little scroll]

I'm a bit torn. Do I refuse the atlas or should I reset the simulation? And can it be reset later if I refuse?

[ember heart]

Reset it

You won’t lose anything

[native carbon]

I legit forgot about christmas/holidays

[analog breach]

We cant be sure anything 100%

Sean can go full skip reruns this year and drop world pt2 and exp 16.

Who knows what he is cooking.

[native carbon]

But isnt it obvious that the next update will be smoll

Idk

[analog breach]

Its all just speculations and predictions based on what we know

[native carbon]

Wait i just got a good theory

What if Worlds part 2 is the 4th part of the dissonance update line

And it will be about the purple systems and corrupted deep oceans

[analog breach]

Many things datamined did not saw release till this day. We know hg was fondling with ship raceing since 1.4

[native carbon]

I know i know but its a theory

[analog breach]

Datamined stuff only tell us they are testing stuff

Good teory as any

[native carbon]

Wasnt depth pressure datamined?

Where if u go deeper then 150u your oxygen would drain faster

[analog breach]

Its a simple mechanic. Its possible it could be implemented in the future

[native carbon]

And in the recent trailers we can see that they increased water level

[analog breach]

I didnt saw water lvl rise in the trailer

[native carbon]

Theres a lot of example

S

In aquarius the flowers are half in water

[analog breach]

Thats bad example imo

[native carbon]

In worlds part 1 trailer we can trees half in water

And like ground plants

Also, if u playd nms for long enough u know rocks cannot spawn like that atm

There are way more examples

[analog breach]

Thats still not depth example

[native carbon]

I know i know im just sayin that they are doing somethin with the water lvl

[analog breach]

Probably. But not much evidence in the trailers

[native carbon]

Yeah.... but its interesting to mention

[analog breach]

For now its more like terrian editing errors when making the trailer

Like i said . Nothing 100% sure untill official annoucement.

[native carbon]

Yuh

[analog breach]

We only know that they are cooking. And thats good

[native carbon]

I mean free is a fair price hehe

[analog breach]

I throwed few extra $ by bying other hg game .

Fishing is not my jam

[native carbon]

I bought the game without any sale lmao

[analog breach]

I also bought nms for full price. Worth it

[native carbon]

Possible dates for the update (my version)
October 23th
October 30th
First of november
November 8th

[native carbon]

Yup, very fun game

[runic mesa]

I'm perfectly fine with WP2 being delayed further if it means 1) it's more polished on release and 2) it allows the team good work/life balance. These people are human beings, not robots. It's not the end of the world if it gets pushed to 2025. I have other things to play.

[viral geyser]

yo fellas

has anyone ever seen this loading screen before

[reef flame]

Yeah

When you click to load a save

And your going to that save

[viral geyser]

I have never gotten that

[valid barn]

every time I reload a save

[austere iris]

It's new

[ebon spoke]

It's been there for a long time, since 2018 I think. Used to just be a black background with the red circle instead of the atlas though

[subtle gorge]

As far as i remember this version was introduced in 2022 with Waypoint or slightly earlier

[subtle gorge]

the version you're talking about was in since launch

[little scroll]

Do all planets have unique glyph markings? Making a spreadsheet for my travels 👀

[ember heart]

yes, but they are "reused" between galaxies

[little scroll]

Ah, so galaxy matters as well?

[ember heart]

yes

[little scroll]

Wait... I just checked two planets and they had identical glyph sets. Is it per-system?

[ember heart]

the first glyph is different for planets in the same system

each planet has an index

and that index is the first glyph

[native carbon]

Soup go sleep

[ember heart]

fi!

i am going to sleep

[little scroll]

Just slightly blind... they looked similar.

[long raven]

At least i got to comfort them

[zenith perch]

pt2 isn't going to be small

[native carbon]

I mean we are getting a small update, not WP2

Most likely

[zenith perch]

eh idk about that one

[analog breach]

8

[native carbon]

woah

[glad jackal]

Yep...

Going to the center of the galaxy on the switch version is really anticlimactic. It just cuts to that loading screen

[quick cargo]

Wish they would've just recorded a cutscene as the loading screen. Even if they only played the transition from Euclid to Hilbert, it would still be better than:

""

Anyone out there want to talk about No Man's Sky lore? I'm bored.

[glass flare]

honestly they shouldn't have even had an ending, and the whole "you're making a new star" thing isn't even accurate. it's clear that they only put an ending in there to satisfy people want to feel like they've "finished" the game

[quick cargo]

If that was the goal with the reset or galaxy jump, it failed to work on me. I've never actually felt like I've finished the game.

The "making a new star" thing did feel a bit underwhelming, though.

[glass flare]

Probably because there is no real finish to the game, because it's a sandbox game focused on exploring an endless universe

[quick cargo]

I'll feel finished once I'm done exploring this endless universe, gorsh dornit.

You either die the Artemis, or live long enough to watch yourself become the null.

[uncut quest]

guys, I've a question regarding mission 16/16

how do I [spoiler] ?

[muted moth]

yuo don't have to spoiler mark stuff in here

just ask your question 🙂

[uncut quest]

ok, so I've heared that I'm supposed to finish everything before mission the purge

I think I still have last atlas temrinal to visit

but followed through a portal in 16/16

is it too late? did I screw it up?

[muted moth]

you don't have to finish everything.

while we recommend people do the atlas path at the same time, that's just to conserve on warping

[uncut quest]

isn't there like a point of no return?

or: am I past it already?

I just went trough a portal, think I could reload

[muted moth]

you can return from (someplace) after completing the purge, (but pu tdown a base before you leave)

before you leave from (someplace) after the purge, I mean.

[uncut quest]

ok. but I'm not there yet, am I?

can I talk to atlas in 16/16 if I didn't finish his terminals?

[muted moth]

of course

these are two separate questlines

[uncut quest]

I was afraid of doing last terminal, didn't want to get locked out of anything too early

[muted moth]

you can do one and not the other, and vice versa

or both whenever you decide.

[uncut quest]

yeah, but I'd like to see everything in one playthrough

[muted moth]

you won't have to start a new save or anything like hat

just pick up the atlas questline in the log later

[uncut quest]

ok, so I can just follow now?

[muted moth]

choose any of th equests in the log to make that the active quest.

a word of warning, if you are in the warping part, and you have done 15 of the warps, the next one will uh

put you in a situation where you need to make a choice, and you should do prep before that.

[uncut quest]

wait

[muted moth]

I don't want to spoil things if you haven't already heard about the side effects.

[uncut quest]

I dm'd you

[muted moth]

ah you are not doing the 16 warps yet I think....

(I don't have open dms)

[uncut quest]

oh, brb

you tell me. talked to null then apollo via holoterminus, found portal, went through. am I?

[muted moth]

you are starting th epurge now, the next 15 warps are "safe", the 16th, you should do prep for

that's all

[uncut quest]

warps, like changing systems with my ship?

[muted moth]

uh huh, using the hyperdrive to go between systems

[uncut quest]

are teleports safe?

[muted moth]

yes

those do not progressthe mission.

[uncut quest]

wait. what did just happen?

on a side note, he said that apollo went through a portal and survived. could that end differently, @muted moth ?

[muted moth]

you can have refused to give apollo the glyphs

it will change dialogue but not real choices later

[uncut quest]

are there real choiced that alter the gameplay afterwards?

[muted moth]

yes (different title, different specific piece of gear, however most choices leave open the way to get something done by another method)

[uncut quest]

ok... I'm confused now. yes, started the purge. what do you mean by "preparing"?

[muted moth]

this is where you need to decide how much you want the end of the purge to be spoiled. it's a big deal

[uncut quest]

not much.

[muted moth]

hmmm

well I would recommend: have many repair kits with you; switch to a backup ship and multitool that aren't as good.... that's all I'll say about it

more than that would spoil it

[uncut quest]

ok, thanks. should I have any particular gear upgrades or missions finished?

[muted moth]

no.

but have materials for a base computer on you

[uncut quest]

thanks

[muted moth]

good luck!

[midnight breach]

So, I wanted to do the echoes quest line but my game crashed two times on the same planet now. Why could that be and what can I do against it?

[uncut quest]

thanks 🙂

[indigo patrol]

after 80h of playing i am a bit overwhelmed. I havent done much missions but I want to do them one by another. I just dont know where to start. anyone have suggestion what missions to do first. currently im jumping from one to another but idk i kinda wanna explore each lore on there own cause otherwise its easy to lose track of

[lapis echo]

I find that doing multiple missions at the same time can be quite overwhelming. If I were to suggest something to do then it would be to do as many of the side missions that you want to do and then when you feel comfortable, start progressing through the main story missions.
Hope this helps

[uncut quest]

I have a question

you mentioned that something would happen after 16 warps during the purge

I had 9 glyphs from gravestones

and after first warp saw 10/16 on my screen

does that mean that something is going to happen after 7 (or now 5) warps, 16 total glyphs?

[heady wyvern]

16, regardless of how many glyphs you have now

[uncut quest]

so 16 warps after the beginning of the purge quest period?

[heady wyvern]

Aye, afaik.

[uncut quest]

thanks 🙂

btw game does continue after visiting last atlas station? any choices/ challenges there?

[muted moth]

well it's not the 16th one, it's um. lemme check exactly. it's right around there but I think you get a little window first of opportunity

yeah there's a portal you enter after that. BEFORE you enter the portal, make your preparations;

[uncut quest]

thanks

[proper sandal]

Yesterday I continued on one of the main quests and let Artemis die, did I make the right choice? What happens if I programmed them into a simulation? Is that the end of the quest line because it keeps telling me to talk to Nada and Polo in the Anomlay and I’ve done that and the quest won’t disappear from my log

Still wondering if I made the right choice 18 hours later lol

[frigid valley]

such is the nature of life, from gameplay perspective there isnt much of a difference, If you were to upload them they would call you once or twice and you would be given a choice to either gaslight them or tell them the truth

whether it was a right choice from ethical, philosophical or moral POV thats debatable and I guess up to you to decide

[indigo patrol]

late response sorry, but yeah I came to the conclusion a view seconds ago xD will do that. gonna take care of the village and will try to farm goods. i think thats the most fun thing atm.

nms is such a chill game cause you can just let the beauty of each planet sink in

but with all the missions i try to rush and then get distracted by everything. last two hours where basically: pls be fun again I want to quit the game with a good mood tonight

[quick cargo]

...gosh that was a long walk. Now I'm tired.

Anyway, Gek are best friends.

@half mirage

[half mirage]

Huh

They did a genocide and a slavery and only stopped because some Korvax sacrificed themselves to rewrite their entire personality

They're not sorry, if it wasn't for that they'd 100% be doing that to this day

And I cannot stand for that

[quick cargo]

They are sorry, though. Gek Archives talk about how they feel guilt. It wasn't their choice to become who they are now, but now that they are Gek, they wouldn't choose to go back.

Gek are not their ancestors.

Most hate their history and want nothing to do with it.

Modern Gek just want to make friends and live peaceful.

An analogy would be dogs. Wolves used to be a predator of ours, but then we turned them into harmless chihuahuas. Wolves wouldn't have wished that upon themselves, but now that dogs are dogs, they just want to be our friends.

Would you blame them for what their ancestors did to ours?

[valid barn]

that's aparent whenever you mention the first spawn when practicing vocabulary

and probably why first spawn relics are illegal

[little scroll]

Looking on a metallic planet... just how rare are terbium growths?!

I've been flying low to the ground with my ship for nearly half an hour

[quick cargo]

I don't remember those being particularly rare, so long as you're on the right kind of anomalous planet.

Usually easier to spot on foot, as they show up as a question mark on your scanner.

guys which ending should i get to be able to trigger autophage quest line ?

should i get to next galaxy or reset the anomaly ?

Good then I can ignore the Idiot Atlas

After you go to the center and change galaxy once, can you choose where to go the next time?

[sour fossil]

Nope, it's only one time deal

Offered at the end of the main story line

Warping to the core of current galaxy will put you somewhere in the next galaxy in order

So jumping from 10 will land you in 11 and so on

I don't even bother learning any of the Atlas words. imagine a god so stupid it can't English.

I wish I could see how many atlas words there are

check the help chat

[runic mesa]

There's 222. But that number not logged anywhere in the game. The game will tell you if you learned them all, though.

(I maxed Atlas words several months ago)

I was wondering...

[glass flare]

For all we know, the Atlas language is the language of the people who built it, and all other languages in the game were just made up by the simulation, including English

[analog breach]

Does HG trying to sneak in new assets for water biome??

I never saw that type of flora pre worlds pt1

[gloomy isle]

I've seen some non scannable flora I haven't noticed before so it could be maybe

[glass flare]

I think I've seen those prior to Worlds, but it's hard to keep track

[indigo patrol]

out of curiousity. for those who have played like 200+ hours. are planets still interesting? like finding new planets

[analog breach]

At some point u know all biomes and planet types. And some elements will start to repeat over time. World part1 added new assets to diffrent biome types. So u could say they are intreating again bc u want to see what changed.

[glass flare]

Worlds added more environmental diversity in terms of clouds, water, and atmospheric effects. So yeah, the assets themselves and especially the creatures start to get very repetitive -- especially some of the newer assets like the glowy mushrooms that don't vary procedurally -- but planets can still surprise me and look unique

[pliant aurora]

If they are updating NMS for the PS5 Pro is it still possible that the content update (If we are getting one) would drop before it launches on Nov 7th?

[indigo patrol]

thanks for letting me know. yeah i already noticed that. thats why I am telling me myself to slowdown and enjoy one planet even if it appears to be boring, just so i can keep having suprise moments.

at least for some. like wired planets or vulcanic seem to have samey assets

i really hope they add more stuff in the future. idk like maybe even put a small amount of assets in each big update so that it grows update by update 😮

[runic mesa]

First rule of NMS: find really cool stuff after you stop actively looking for it. At least, that's what happens to me...

[glass flare]

Second rule of NMS: don't hang out in the spoilers channel if you want to be surprised about future assets 😅

[analog breach]

Perfect assets for future ocean biome

[gloomy isle]

The planets have started to remind me of how gear can roll in arpgs and mmos. Like eventually you'll recognise all of the individual perks etc but once in a while some insane roll comes around and is super cool to have

A lot of the more surprising planets I've seen are because of a combo of rarer traits

Stuff like seeing floating islands + a rare colour or dissonance

[native carbon]

I really REALLY hope WP2 will add deep oceans

[icy reef]

deep sea megafauna/megaflora encounters would be cool with that

like anomalous space encounters but for nautilon

[crystal token]

Sorry, was on wrong channel

[pliant aurora]

It’s gotta be. We have huge mountains and extreme terrain already. Just need much deeper oceans

[native carbon]

just raise the water lvl

and change the ground biome to underwater one

[pliant aurora]

Yeah I just wonder how deep can they possibly make them. I think mountains can get to 1600u. (Actually over 3000u my bad) Wonder if they will make them around 1000u

[native carbon]

i would be happy with 500u

1000u would be amazing tho

[hollow cairn]

hey guys

i need to ask something about the lore of the awakening storyline

cause i'm in doubt about a choice i made of dialog with null

my question is more related to the bad things he did. i don't remember well cause i answered on impulse, but i chose the harsh answer and he cried

but after that i was like...i wasn't nice to him, considering what he has been through. i wanted to interact with him again

but i don't think it's possible anymore

[glass flare]

what's your question?

[indigo patrol]

if i see animals through my visor (red dots) and they are like 100 units below me. is it a bug? cause 100 units is pretty deep for underground

[hollow cairn]

it's regarding the last interaction we have with null. what kind of selfish things he done. it felt that he did allowed many persons to die, just for the sake of his travels and discovery

[glass flare]

He did more than "allow" them to die, he murdered other Travellers so that he could live longer

[quick cargo]

That does sound like a bug.

[valid barn]

can I learn this skill?

[glass flare]

[undone glade]

not from the Atlas

[pale hazel]

,,maybe if you give the Atlantid like 20 bucks they'll teach you

(me personally, stuffing Memory Fragments in a Nutrient Processor and eating whatever comes out usually does the trick)
(they're like flintstones vitamins)

[native carbon]

prediction for WP2:
Purple systems - those will have the new planet type: Corrupted Oceans
Corrupted oceans are super deep (they can get up to 1000u deep)
the corrupted oceans can have bigger aquatic creatures.
Depth pressure,
Void Mother lore,
like 50 new fish to catch
new boss - the Jellyfish
new underwater enemies
New structure related to Void Mother

New creatures:
Manta Ray
Snail (can spawn both on land, and underwater)
Turtle (Sea ver.)
Shrimps
Squids
Octopuses
More Jellyfish
(Maybe) Whales
Transparent flying lizard
Transparent Strider

New biomes:
Underwater creepy
Underwater towers
underwater forest
Lush Ruins
New Desert type

Shuttle Fabricator

[river aspen]

new desert? please, be the one from the early trailers, the flat one

[hollow cairn]

okay, so i wasn't wrong at all

i think what caught me is that he was showing regret

but at the same time, i can't just hold my guard down, cause i would be just another one for him, i feel

in the end of the day, i rejected the atlas, so i feel that for my perspective i'm satisfied with my choices

[sacred ingot]

anyone know what the fourth word is?

[native carbon]

Yicame

[sacred ingot]

translated..

I assume the dialogue at the end of the atlas path is the same for everyone

[native carbon]

lol sorry

[sacred ingot]

do you know?

[grizzled apex]

Again.

[sacred ingot]

cool

ty

[pliant aurora]

Just a little over two weeks left to see if pt 2 really gonna be in 2025

[valid barn]

who?

[pale hazel]

y'know, void mother, Atlantid

the purple one?

[analog breach]

Aka the abyss aka the korvax prime

[pale hazel]

true!
anyways
one thing i'm also kind of hoping for in the next worlds updates is an expansion to the Anomaly,, eventually

maybe an update to the area with all of the little tech terminals on the side? could use a bit of a revamp considering the many, memorable moments i've had to cram around some of the vendors there
also i think it'd look absolutely baller given more space, something like the plaza on the right side

[silent mist]

@real sage

humans?

[uncut quest]

@muted moth may I?

[muted moth]

go ahead

[uncut quest]

I asked about the purge quest and you gave me some advice the other day

where was I supposed to set up a base computer? 😉

[muted moth]

di dyou uh reset?

[uncut quest]

yes

[muted moth]

ah! then anywhere after repairing your crap and etc

[uncut quest]

in case I teleport to my old base/ whatever?

[muted moth]

just plop down a base computer somewhere, because if you go back to a previous base without doing that, you won't have a way to get back!

[uncut quest]

so I could get back to the new galaxy?

[muted moth]

except going through the core the slow way (and having to do all the same prep again)

yes, exactly that.

[uncut quest]

okay. yes, did just that, but wanted to make sure before I travel anywhere

[muted moth]

excellent

what's the new galaxy you landed in?

[uncut quest]

uhm. starts with e.

[muted moth]

eissentam?

[uncut quest]

I think so

[muted moth]

nice choice, more lush planets there 🙂 enjoy!

[uncut quest]

thanks:)

got convinced by the green colour

and, essentially, the game is just back to normal? no new mechanics, radical changes?

except for Nada and Polo not wanting to talk to me?

[muted moth]

why wouldn't they talk to you? they might not have a lot to say is all

[uncut quest]

well, they talk, but they don't want to hear about atlas and simulations

[muted moth]

the one thing to bear in mind is that portals (portal, not teleporter), leadonly to planets within the same galaxy

so keep track of which galaxy you're in when you want to share a discovery (or go to check someone else's)

[uncut quest]

yeah, I was told so yesterday. but dunno how to use them yet anyway

[muted moth]

well you do but you don't knwo that you do 🙂

I mean, you have now the glyphs.... so if you locate one portal in each galaxy you can travel anywhere you know the address

but you'll figure all that out in time

[uncut quest]

is there a portal in each solar system?

[muted moth]

every planet should have one.

and each planet should have an address for othersto arrive via portal

[uncut quest]

Thanks @muted moth

[pliant aurora]

14 more days possibly 👀

[indigo patrol]

how do i make a fast exo car. I want to build racetracks at my base

[native carbon]

yeah, most likely

i really hope its WP2

[pliant aurora]

"I’m here to give you a heads up about the largest No Man’s Sky update of the year so far."
It's gotta be bro because those words are giving me so much hope 😭 😭

Plus Aquarius update to this deeper ocean update would be perfect and makes sense
Id love for them to end the year with a banger.

[proper sandal]

I’ve heard going through your first portal with your starship isn’t a good idea.. I’m on the quest to learn the glyph sequence for this planet. Should I go buy a random ship or is it okay to portal anywhere from a monolith

[whole rover]

Talk to me about the core: 600k ly from it, are black holes the best way to shorten the trip? Taxi services aside, whats the quickest route?

[frigid valley]

portal, get the first glyph, spam it as portal adress and itll take you to a system around 5k LY from the core

[whole rover]

🫠

🙏

[whole rover]

And this after maybe 7hrs of steady blackhole and warp progress 🙄🤣🤣

[indigo patrol]

You think worlds part 2 has any chance of making a planet more discoverable.

Currently having the problem that planets become too repetitive. diving into planets is like my most fun thing to do and turning around by 360 degree and knowing there ain‘t more worth to explore is a bit of frustrating.

[warm light]

One of the issues is that the terrain feels too rounded, and the number of things to discover is just too limited.

[whole rover]

Tough to do better then this though yeah? Lotsa variety, lotsa to do etc etc

Currently 3k from core

Ooop galactic core reached

Wack. Wacker than wack. Wackest shit ever. Ultra wack. Mega wack.

I wanted it to be like plus mode, warp in and find a new planet lol

[whole rover]

Crisis averted, i had much in hand but not enough to fix my c class interceptor, was 4hr walk to trading post….summoned a different ship 🙄

[indigo patrol]

well I think part of it is cause it is by the end of the day still only 1 biom. and there isn‘t many complexity to the generation.

like take minecraft as an example. they do spawn rivers, beaches cliffs etc. (different bioms too) to make traveling exciting.

(I think part of what makes me enjoy exploring is just embracing the beauty of these planets which is quiet what makes it difficult to enjoy it after you seen everything. the generator doesn‘t allow much surprises and rather becomes more a tool to give you ressources you need.

[half mirage]

chat i think my They Who Returned quest is bugged

im meant to present atlantideum to the atlas but it keeps bringing me here to reset the simulation instead

is there a way i can fix this?

[rose sapphire]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lapis echo]

i don't know
i have never had that happen to me before

[earnest nebula]

Please tell me this isn't a baseless prediction because I'd love to see this stuff

[native carbon]

based on the datamined content and aquarius update

[earnest nebula]

What datamined content do we have

[native carbon]

depth pressure, manta ray model (they used it for aquarius, was datamined during WP1) purple systems (those have new generation rules apparently) 3 new ocean biomes, new desert biome, new lush biome (ruins)

uuuuuh "transparent/glowing" strider and flying lizard

[earnest nebula]

Ooh interesting

I'm hoping we do get deep oceans like you said

Deep oceans and huge creatures to be in those oceans would be really fun

[native carbon]

it is very likely to happen buuuuuuuut

its only a theory

[earnest nebula]

Right

[analog breach]

Yep

Players datamined ship raceing in like nms 1.4

Do we got ship raceing tho?

[native carbon]

we know we know but explain the manta ray

datamined in WP1

with a 3D model

aaand animations

aaand then the render was used for aquarius

we also got a file called "squid.idle", theres just too many ocean datamined stuff

[mighty palm]

Would asking what the 6th hidden race be a huge spoiler

[mental socket]

Autophages

[safe thunder]

This games weird. I was initially very hostile and skeptical of the Atlas because they got that dark, mysterious and sinister vibe. But at the end I was giving them therapy about facing death.

[naive quarry]

Icl what I rlly hope for is underwater fauna that you can tame and swim around with, some hopefully being faster than the nautilon

[native carbon]

same

imagine riding a dolphin

[analog breach]

Real life looking animals? Booooooooring. At least give us alien looking dolphins. Something simliar to the ground burrower untameable ones

Like this

[mighty palm]

I scanned an animal recently that didn't exist

It didn't show anything on the image

There was nothing there but I could scan whatever it was

[analog breach]

It was probably the flying ball thing

Imo its a ui bug.

or a really tiny creature

[zenith perch]

Planets are pretty huge tbf

[zenith perch]

I sincerely hope if we get depth pressure it isn't annoying

[native carbon]

How can depth pressure be not annoying lol

[indigo patrol]

Yeah. and its cool to walk around. But recently I have been in quiet a spiral of finding the same planets over and over again and it makes me sad cause exploring unique things is the most fun part

[native carbon]

Also nautilion exists, it will finally get some use frfr

[blazing slate]

Sonar is a use

[zenith perch]

Well if oceans are changed you don't wanna make underwater activities tedious

[blazing slate]

Scanning for structures

[zenith perch]

Nautilon is just far too slow imo

I think all exocraft are honestly

[native carbon]

Doesnt nautilion have speed upgrades

[blazing slate]

No it doesn't the exograps are so slow I agree using a companion is better

exocrafts*

[native carbon]

I could imagine then adding like flip flaps or how they r called for faster swimming

Ooor smth like the seaglide from subnautica

[blazing slate]

Yeah I want like actual ships not just that natalian like actual ships that you can make and deploy

Look you know you can build a starship you can build a ship

[native carbon]

I agree but u make it sound like every planet looks the same which is wrong, i have been playin NMS for allmost 2 years and i still find unique planets

[zenith perch]

Give us a piracy update like outlaws but for the oceans

[blazing slate]

YESSSSS

[native carbon]

I want upgrades for exoskiffs

[blazing slate]

And then they have like those different stations

[zenith perch]

I'd love that massive exocraft to open up similar to those vendors on outlaw stations

I just wish the exoskiff had proper manual movement, not that select and redeploy thing

[native carbon]

Like a one where u get to control it, bigger fish storage, speed upgrades, wave stability ones

Or heck even one that makes it bigger

[blazing slate]

Pointless

[zenith perch]

The storage is huge already

[native carbon]

Meh

[zenith perch]

It's 60 slots how many fish are you catching

[native carbon]

Everything is pointless in this game if u think about it

[native carbon]

Wayy to many lol

[zenith perch]

Reminder still frontiers has not had a single improvement since its release

[native carbon]

Gameplay wise

[blazing slate]

Crap did I just spoil something

[native carbon]

Ur in nms spoilers lol

Dw

U can yap spoilers as much as u want here

[blazing slate]

Why won't nobody respond to me like you're the only 1 who responds

[native carbon]

This channel is for spoilers, datamined content and... idk

[native carbon]

Uuuuhhhh.... 🤷‍♂️

[blazing slate]

Like it OK so I ask people like can I see their fauna creature records under wonders cause I wanna see like you know what's the largest carnivore people have ever discovered and they like don't respond

See how you just like didn't respond after that

[native carbon]

I uhhh idk what to say

Where did u asked for that btw?

Normal nms channel?

Maybe try in nursery idk

[blazing slate]

OK can I see yours

Cause you know I'm all about collecting creatures

[native carbon]

I like nms creatures a lot ngl, some of em are boring but some of em are super cool

[blazing slate]

Yeah can I see your creature records if you don't mind screenshotting them

[blazing slate]

I like genetically modifying them to like satisfy my god complex trying to create the perfect cute pet

[native carbon]

Alr sure but tomorrow

(Remind me tho)

[native carbon]

Haha same

[blazing slate]

Trying to create a deer kaiju

I found like this really small deer it was like 2' so I took that as an insult and now I'm trying to make a deer Godzilla

[whole rover]

Best weapon against ground sentinels?

[whole rover]

This is something wild!! I didn’t even know we could genetically modify random animals?

I cant figure out the pet thing, whats the channel for that? I got two, they both got environmentally slaughtered, somehow have two eggs in my inventory and dunno wtf thats all about

[frigid valley]

#nms-fauna would be a place to go for that

[naive quarry]

Or swimming with a shark or smth idk

[valid barn]

what's the deal with the autophage story being locked until after finishing the game?

[uncut harness]

||what should i do about artemis?|| 😦 (mentions important character)

[uncut harness]

The deed is done. They can rest now

[runic mesa]

Because it's built on lore history that is revealed late in the Artemis path.

[pliant aurora]

10 days

[native carbon]

oh shoot u r right

[pliant aurora]

Yup, I'm ready for that emoji post.

[native carbon]

im not 100% sure we are getting somethin

we will see in like 5 days

[pliant aurora]

If not we will just suffer the waiting pain again until next year ☹️

[native carbon]

yup :C

[valid barn]

such as?

are tthey just not in Euclid at all?

[stray vapor]

Just finished the Artemis Missions and the Purge took me to the 19th Galaxy

It also was nice and my Starship was right next to me when I Reinitialised

[balmy garden]

So whsts next after you do that? Cant we just not Do the purge? What is the asvantge of doing it

[stray vapor]

I really don't know it was my First time

[balmy garden]

I guess we will be bkth purge vorhin then

[stray vapor]

Yep guess so

[crystal token]

wait we can't choose a galaxy type when going to the center of a galaxy? What method do you use to get to choose?

[heady wyvern]

You only get the choice once, at the end of the main quest, as part of "The Purge"

[crystal token]

Oh, huh. Well ok then!

[balmy garden]

Which color did u take

[valid canyon]

I wish you could upload Artemis into a robotic body like Apollo instead of a simulition in the simulation

[stray vapor]

Green

I chose Green in Remembrance of my Grandma

[balmy garden]

Went Green as well got air bombarded after 5 min 🤣

[stray vapor]

Where did you end up?

[balmy garden]

Will check Kater already 3.29 am here

[stray vapor]

Oh ok

[stray vapor]

Ok Cool

[analog breach]

HG has perfect oportunity for halloween update around that time. Plus the 🟣 color that is connected to void mother perfectly matches halloween theme colors. Bc its usualy purple ,black and orange.

[native carbon]

exactly! pleeeaseee spooki updat

[analog breach]

I will be happy even with only scrap dealer update. But please. No more posters and decals. I have enough of them

[uncut harness]

Major SPOILERS to main story, read at your own risk

|| So, i'm not fully 100% sure, but i've read bits here and there on the lore of NMS and reading through everything i discovered through monoliths and the Atlas, i'm fairly certain that the Atlas interface thing isn't god, but more like some piece of technology creating the simulation that is the world in No man's sky. I am starting to grasp what the First Spawn is, who the gek's were, what Korvax are and what the convergence is, etc. But the most interesting part of the lore i read today was this:||

||In the Base Archive Storyline, did that traveller really make it out of the simulation??||

[glass flare]

I just want my cloud saves. Worlds Pt 2 is a bonus

[novel lark]

||its not fully a simulation. everything is real, but Atlas is using the nanites to essentially run a simulation in reality through the nanites.||

[uncut harness]

Oh really? That's kinda cool and even more confusing lol

I'll just keep reading the lore until i fully grasp it

i don't wanna read up on it online too much bc it rlly motivates me to explore

Like, now i got way too many goals at once: Finish main story line, explore with cartography for the lore, and build a base lol

or multiple xP

[safe thunder]

So the Autophage and sentinels are like 2 halves of the same coin right? ||Victims of the Gek’s genocide of the korvax that pulled themselves out of the save data and reformed themselves through strength of will. But if sentinels seek the destruction of anything that reminds them of Korvax prime and the Autophage are just chill dudes, what’s the deal with the corrupted Sentinels?||

[echo bison]

So don’t get into too much detail but… are the 3 “main storyline quests” like a choose a path type deal? Obviously the middle one(The Anomaly quests) aren’t but the further I get into the Apollo quests that’s how it kinda feels

Basically Atlas or Apollo to be succinct lol

[sour fossil]

Nope

Atlas Path was the original story line from game's release, now relegated to be a "secondary story line"

Artemis Path is the main story line that tells the events of the game and most of the characters

And finishing it is a requirement to some new content (the Autophage quest)

[echo bison]

Gotcha, thanks you :)

[sick flame]

new internal build??

[sour fossil]

Internal aka HG's playground

Nothing for us to see

[sick flame]

but that means an update is coming soon, right?

[sour fossil]

It comes when HG releases it

An internal update is no indication of when the public branch updates

Could be days, could be weeks

All it tells us is HG is working on something and uploading a new game build to their servers

[native carbon]

It means somethin, but we dont know what

[sick flame]

:(

[bold canopy]

||What decision did you guys make regarding Artemis||

[limpid crag]

||I let him roam free inside the simulation. I don’t know if I made the right choice but it just felt wrong letting him die. It was nice to be able to talk with him again.||

[analog breach]

No much diffrence besides difrent dialouges. Chose what your guts tell u

[bold canopy]

That’s what i did.

[pliant aurora]

I definitely feel like we are getting a good sized content update next week.

But if Sean doesn't post an emoji by Friday or Saturday the nvm I take the L.

[safe thunder]

||I let them die. If they learned of their simulated existence it could have caused them excruciating pain. I didn’t want to make them a heaven for it to become a hell, they died once, they deserve to rest.||

[safe thunder]

Got a lore question: ||why is it people say the atlas is going to be sucked into a black hole. I know it’s 16 minutes to death and whatnot but I always saw it as 16 minutes until a hardware failure, like the main power source dying. Where is it specifically said it’s a black hole?||

[frigid valley]

there is some lore hidden in different objects, like sentinel pillars or boundary failures, at least one of them mentions a black hole ( I have found only one, but I dont search for lore in game too much)

[safe thunder]

Boundary failures?

[frigid valley]

and it mentions that black hole might be connected to altas failing

[frigid valley]

yeah, like big circular buildings, look like a gate of sorts

[safe thunder]

OH THOSE THINGS

[safe thunder]

I only found one of those naturally, super rare

[frigid valley]

there is a terminal that has lore on each of them

[safe thunder]

I always imagined the Atlas’s death is due to like… old age. It would actually be super funny tho if it was because of a low battery tho. Then at the last minute, some guy comes buy, plugs in a new battery and the atlas goes “I’m fine now, light no fire, a regular iteration of mine, coming out next week.”

[glass flare]

they also happen to be one of the oldest POIs in the game, as those circle towers were in pre-release footage

and even shown in old concept art

[uncut harness]

I let him rest. It felt wrong to put him in a simulation he can’t escape from.

[still oak]

how close is the part where i upload artemis to the matrix to the end?

just give me a general answer like pretty close or a little far

[sour fossil]

halfway

[ashen geode]

So! New NMS ticker for No Man's Sky. Worlds Part.2 finally?

Seeing the NO reaction... I mean, we'll get Part.2 at some point 😆

[serene solstice]

I didn’t want him living a fake life so I let him go

[native carbon]

we dont know

[ashen geode]

Yup, could be anything. Gotta wait for the emoji drop, if there's any

[native carbon]

i bet its gonna be tomorrow

also i bet the update will drop on october 23th

[ashen geode]

Hoping so! Would be awesome ^^

But yes, realistically if they find new bugs then the 30 of October would be nice too. Just in time for Halloween!

[native carbon]

nah dont think so

october 23th if not then aquarius was the last

(my theory)

[ashen geode]

I don't think Aquarius was the last update, at all

They would have announced it, and they said prior to that they had way more content planned

They will update the game at least until Light No Fire, maybe for more time too

[native carbon]

i mean for 2024

[ashen geode]

Ohhh I see

Seems unlikely to me, but we'll see what happens ^^

[ashen geode]

WOOO!

Speculations are now opened!

[safe kiln]

🤔 Cursed worlds

Also, hoping and coping for expedition 16

[ashen geode]

Yes, that would make so much sense, purple systems being those new worlds maybe?

[safe kiln]

Yes exactly

Possibly all hazardous in multiple ways (extreme weather, highly hostile native fauna, worm infested, brood invasion…)

[lofty fable]

lol good theory

[safe kiln]

It’s my understanding they’ll all be dissonant by default

Aside from all being a source of purple stellar metal (did the datamines include a name?) I could see them having a higher number of other planetary deposits and so forth, as a risk-reward scheme

[pliant aurora]

Someone posted a poster called No Mans Sky The Cursed that was datamined when Adrift update came out

looks like thats it

[viral geyser]

does anyone still have it

[pliant aurora]

ill dm u

[viral geyser]

"curse words" "cursed worlds"

I def see that being it

[safe kiln]

“The cursed” definitely sounds like an expedition name

[viral geyser]

sounds more updatey to me

[analog breach]

Bad language confirmed

[viral geyser]

and usually we only have 4 expiditions

[safe kiln]

Sure, but last year we only had three

Gotta play catch-up

[viral geyser]

I think its most likely worlds part 2

[analog breach]

🤬 time to get 🤬

[safe kiln]

Sure, though a good number of major updates have included expeditions

[analog breach]

Someone is red and angry .... HMMMMMMMM

[pliant aurora]

Could be an even larger update than Worlds Pt I

[analog breach]

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Talking? TXT chat on consoles?

[candid osprey]

Anyone have Ideas what the Update is? Worlds 2 i dont think.

[analog breach]

No idea. U got any?

🤬 cursing. Cursed... world?

[pliant aurora]

I think it may be Worlds Part 2 but just with a twist.

Prob has to do with the dissonant worlds and creepy stuff data mined

[candid osprey]

Hmm

[lofty fable]

worlds part 2: cursed worlds

[candid osprey]

It could definitely have something to do with spooky things since it's Halloween coming up soon too. However, the emoji could also have something to do with "expressing frustration" or "negative criticism" and we are getting some changes that players may have wanted for a long time. It could actually simply be the chat system for console players. During the Aquarius Expedition we also received an emoji from him 🏺. But that didn't have much to do with fishing 😂
