[unique vapor]

Yep. Gas giants are now a thing.

[summer hearth]

whats flying into them like

[unique vapor]

They have a surface with crazy storms and hazards

[summer hearth]

ah so not actual gas giants

just very hazardous planets

[unique vapor]

FYI the water world is bugged.

[native carbon]

oof

[jade compass]

Well, I mean… I’ve not had chance to visit them myself, but I’m pretty sure it’s theorised gas giants have a solid core, no?

Or at least some of them.

[shadow fable]

If you're playing on PS5, there is a bug with the new tech about deep water, remove the tech and you'll be fine

[unique vapor]

Unfortunately this does not work. Thanks for the suggestion, though! 🙂

[summer hearth]

core yes

not a surface though

the core would be so far inside the gas giant than anything surviving would be literally impossible

[jade compass]

Well, I mean.. I suppose it’s just a compromise. What would they do otherwise? Just take up space?

They have to have some interaction gameplay wise.

[summer hearth]

maybe have a bunch of islands orbit the surface

falling down meaning death

[surreal terrace]

fly around and suck up gas pockets idk

[unique vapor]

Here's what the surface looks like.

[shadow fable]

well, they made giant planets in general. You can find giant planets with any biome already in the game, i think just Gas Giant and Drowned Planet are exclusives.

[gloomy isle]

My prediction is that the next content update we get will be the corvettes

Either that or summer

[uncut harness]

I just want switch to get this update this week lol come before the weekend one time pls

[toxic fjord]

Exactly. They are venus-like planets. Idk why they called them something they aren't.

In my opinion, I think it's timw they ditch PS4, Xbox One, and Switch 1 for good. (and I say that as someone who also plays on switch, and owns the Steam and ogPS4 version). They are dead weights hindering possible improvements to the engine. They should focus on newer Gen hardware. It's clear if they want to do anything more demanding they can't still provide support for these platforms.

You cannot have a proper gas giant that works in a og PS4 and a switch like it would on a PS5 or a PC.

Look at the planetary tech star citizen employs for gas giants, look at the clouds in MS Flight Simulator 2024 (PC and XBOX) ... It's perfectly doable, but not on a freaking switch.

Switch is a large player base though, I imagine financially it would be worse, at leas in the short term until switch 2 comes out.

[uncut harness]

Yeah but they're usually surrounded by a liquid metallic layer

It's a sci-fi game in a simulated universe. And in this simulated universe, things can differ from our reality

[toxic fjord]

Nothing in our tech could reach even the shallowrst layers without being absolutely crushed by the atmospheric pressure elf gas giants

[toxic fjord]

Yes. But then don't call them gas giants! Hahaha In every other aspect (except orbits) it is consistent with a reinterpretation of what we have in our universe. NMS even uses a form of periodic table ffs hahahaha

[gloomy isle]

NMS has 0 correlation to real science, I don't think this is too much of an issue tbh

[lyric coral]

Jupiter is 318 times the size of earth, space has amazing scale

[gloomy isle]

Canonically I think the surface is still the core

But it's just an unrealisticaly large core 😂

[toxic fjord]

Can't be a scifi game with 0 correlation with real science, man

[lyric coral]

they should’ve made the core smaller and the gas slow your ship down a lot

[gloomy isle]

It's a Sci fi fantasy game

If you're going by strict science, NMS doesn't have a single planet

They're too small

[toxic fjord]

you still have the Sci part there, as I said, can't be 0 correlation.

Certainly it's not kerbal space program or other space Sims, I'm aware of that

I've been here since launch even through the AR games. No Man's Sky is inspired in classical scifi from the 70s.

And a gas giant is a gas giant

Not a venus-like planet

I'm sad we don't get to have something similar to gas giants

But I'm grateful they update the game for free

I would've paid for the updates

[gloomy isle]

Again I'm pretty sure the surfaces are canonically the cores, they're just unrealisticaly large

And other Sci fi settings have completely unrealistic gas giants anyways

[toxic fjord]

But almost all of them have in common that the loud layer is huge, with "mountains" of gas

and storm

Again, if you are happy with them, I'm glad for you, really! For my they are just oversized stormy planets like the ones we had before with a different cloud texture from space

Where they outdone themselves is with deep seas, those are fantastic

[gloomy isle]

I mean yeah personally I'd rather they were liquid with floating islands or something, but I'm mostly just glad they're there

At the end of the day they still look cool and fulfil the role of an extreme dead planet, which is something that's good to have

Though I'm actually more excited about the titanic regular biomes mostly

[toxic fjord]

Yeah, I would love that too! And maybe floating settle ments, rare gases that AR only found in the deepest layers where light almost doesn't reach, etc.

[gloomy isle]

Tbh don't doubt someone will eventually mod it in. If they became water worlds with the floating islands or something that would maybe be more immersive

Or if it was just a chance or something like that

[clear citrus]

crashed freighter

cant even get the crates cause theyre below bedrock

[gusty stream]

Is there any data on sandworms existing in ocean planets?

[native carbon]

that is horrifying

[native carbon]

that also would be horrifying

[gusty stream]

Being in the water, hearing it tremble and then the roar

Assuming you could even hear it

[gloomy isle]

The sound and atmosphere is amazing

How's the variety?

[gusty stream]

Bonus points if it's one of these

[gloomy isle]

From what I've seen from people posting I'm spotting a lot of similar vegetation but otherwise it looks good

[clear citrus]

yeah the very bottom of the ocean looks the same for the most part

closer to the surface theres more variation

[gusty stream]

What I'm trying to look for rn is a 3.5m+ squid in a water world

Imagine the size of a
4.0m one

[gloomy isle]

I've that there's better variety with the minerals and smaller plants

But yeah ig there's only so much you can do with a bioluminescent seafloor type biome

Not complaining tho

[clear citrus]

would be cool if there were bigger plains of flat seafloor near the bedrock with fossils or like decomposed alien fish

also hope they add a ocean equivalent of the vile brood thats just scary fishes that roam around

and not just the dissapointinly fat and goofy abyssal horror fish

[gloomy isle]

That would be cool

Atm I'm glad it's not an exotic biome type with with the exact same everything on each planet 😂

Though I'd be interested in a chance for non glowing versions to sometimes spawn

[gusty stream]

They should add the Abyssal fish swimming around at random

Oh dear I'm bright pink now

[gloomy isle]

Ooooo what about giant abyssal horrors

Like the ones outside sunken buildings but like 20x the size

[jade compass]

That would be terrifying. I want it.

[gusty stream]

The oversized fauna already make the bottom of the sea feel like subnautica

A gigantic threat would seal the deal

[real sapphire]

we had 16, now is 19

[analog breach]

16
19

[young quest]

I think we have more planet variation than pathfinder now

[quartz thistle]

Expedition 17's ship

i lacked a better place to put it in

[quasi niche]

That story was crazy, I loved it. Now to go find a place for my aquarium base.

[gloomy isle]

Does it have a unique cockpit?

[slender raft]

Could someone elaborate how to get the blurple mission

[uncut harness]

|| Complete the main missions, Artimes and Atlas Paths ||

[slender raft]

O

Seems like its gonna be a while

[uncut harness]

then || find a dissonant system and pulse drive till you get the thing ||

[fleet ivy]

Need help, It's the Autophage Storyline. Will it Transport me to a new Galaxy if I press a wrong button?

Cause I am in the Atlas rn.

[quartz thistle]

I have no idea, it isn't mine

but i'd think it does, with its unique cockpit shape

[fleet ivy]

What do i choose here?

[uncut harness]

Any reason you don't want to go somewhere? I think you can get back

[fleet ivy]

I wanna keep Euclid Galaxy. That's why. I am doing the Autophage Storyline.

[analog breach]

It was showed in the trailer.

[compact coyote]

Hey I mean it takes a while to actually land on a gas giant. A whole lot longer

[surreal needle]

I would now like giant bobbit worm type fauna which are stationary but unburrow from under the seafloor to grab other fauna

[errant socket]

🔥🔥

[gloomy isle]

I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck to two ngl

Though a POI overhaul wouldn't be unwelcome

Did you see the new datamine?

[pliant aurora]

I hope they do a pOI overhaul

[gloomy isle]

Looks like we might get large ships with interiors next, or at least at some point

Called corvettes

[dull badge]

someone in this nexus instance got the new ship early. looks even better in person

[lofty fable]

• completely overhauled flight model akin to flight in star wars squadrons
• improved visuals of planets when viewed from space - atmosphere and terrain visuals
• overhauled space combat, faster and smoother, better AI behaviour in combat
• in game guilds or alliances with management tools, player trading, ranks, guild contributions and goals
• unlawful/pvp designated mode on a separate universe with real consequences and non-optional pvp
• new underwater building parts with purpose i.e underwater resource gathering
• horizontal/vertical "scrolling" tool for pricise placement of parts in free mode
• toggle for parts placed upside down to lock onto parts placed upright

my current wishlist

[real sapphire]

Just asking, those new planet biome like jungle planets, can only be found in purple stars or can be found anywhere

[gloomy isle]

The new regular biomes can be found anywhere but they're not that common

And apparently the purple systems have more variety in terms of their environments for the biomes etc

[near ferry]

googling and can't find the new living ship , how to ... anyone got a link ?

[real sapphire]

Ah ok, thanks, i'll explore around 🙂 thanks @gloomy isle

[gloomy isle]

It's an expedition reward

[fleet ivy]

Out of curiousity. Which is better, Extreme Weather or Overrun by Sentinels?

[compact coyote]

That corvette data mine sounds cool af

[tame grotto]

Great question Up to you. If it was me, I'd prob prefer extreme weather. With the right gear, you can survive anything -- while many players can find sentinels a bit annoying with time.

[fleet ivy]

Ok Then.

[near ferry]

Crabs with helmets 0.o

[trim willow]

Did it still having screeching creatures everywhere? Be nice to find some planets that have little-0 life

[late tusk]

expedition items availible with quicksilver after said expedition is over for people who dont enjoy expeditions when

[analog breach]

It does not mater i think. Imo Game will just find a system to match your choices. It does not affect anything so chose what u want to see first/most from new update.

[ebon briar]

i wish

also how do you get the new fishing rig floats

[fleet ivy]

Ok Then. I already completed it, so no worries

[uncut harness]

Multi-Biome Worlds and Gas Giants + Water Worlds in regular systems as well pls!

Ya know what I mean?

[pliant aurora]

Not sure if Im right on this but I dont think the Octopus made it ot the update

Maybe they are saving it for later

[spark egret]

Looks like you didn’t get your answer - you can always travel back to Euclid if you have a base computer anywhere there, otherwise travel there via public bases or features bases on the Anomaly teleporter. There is also the space cab option where other players will let you teleport to them in your desired Galaxy that they have access to.

[fleet ivy]

Ok. Thanks.

[clear citrus]

what the fuck the tilt on this planet

maybe because theres a planet neighbour almost touching it 😭

[dull badge]

you're actually giving it something though. not stealing

[sour fossil]

Uhhhh

Is In Stellar Multitudes really this short or am I missing something

[dull badge]

if all of the stars have spawned then yes, it's that short

[sour fossil]

I don't usually say this but bruh

If that's the mission that was supposed to tie in the multiple pieces of lore than I must say I had higher expectations

Oh well can't win on each and every front

[uncut harness]

I liked the cursed better but it was alright ig

9 years in new lore anything they could of done would of been disappointing imo

[ebon briar]

atlas shaped edibles

[dull badge]

hee hee

[pliant aurora]

is this a feature for real or just a bug lol?

[clear citrus]

im pretty sure its a feature cause animals seem affected too

atleast the stuff that walk on the ground

objects are placeable and orient with me too so houses are at an angle if i build

i dont even know but it works 😭

their atmospheres nudge together

[unique vapor]

Woah!

Oh cool. It's like a whole set of ruin base parts that you can collect.

[native carbon]

Yup, when planets are super close together they have a weird atmosphere

[orchid relic]

ASTARTES

[tall flint]

Was there a translator for the Atlantid codes? I looked at the ship's console during the first encounter with Yabli-@ and saw a code I swear was once cracked

Just so I don't lose it, the code was: ||41 55 54 4F 48 41 47 45||

[analog breach]

Its hexadecimal.

[tight umbra]

||AUTOHAGE||

Guess you missed one number, it actually stands for:

||Autophage||

[rustic salmon]

has anyone ever seen this before? I looked online and didn't see anything about wearer-entity or worn entity

[tight umbra]

I think its basically what it says

Something about

Telamon

[rustic salmon]

Nice I need to talk to him about his father King Aeacus of Aegina

[tight umbra]

Mentioned by Boundary Failure and The Sentry

[rustic salmon]

Thanks I just got back into NMS and forgot a lot of lore

[tall flint]

Awesome, thank you!

[river aspen]

So Yabli-a becomes a little like null?

with the "seeing all the stars"

[sullen hornet]

so, how do you actually find purple systems? im looking all over the star chart and not seeing any. do i need some special equipment?

[glass flare]

You have to do the new questline first

[ebon briar]

!Faq-PurpleSystems

[cloud jolt]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Worlds Part 2 Content

How to get started...

   -# > !faq-artemispath in #bot-spam shows the steps.
2. Atlas Eternal must show in your mission log, once Atlas Path is completed.
3. Find a Harmonic Camp and release the multi-tool seal.
   -# > !faq-interceptor in #bot-spam shows how to find them.
4. Warp to trigger: They Who Returned and complete the Autophage missions.
5. Return to space and pulse until hailed.
6. New mission: In Stellar Multitudes should trigger.
7. Finish the mission to reveal all purple systems on the galaxy map.

These are the known steps as of update 5.5 Worlds Pt II (<t:1738163940:D>) and are subject to change.

[rigid lintel]

Hey dudes and dudettes... Will my witnessed memory affect my gameplay as far as purple systems?

[glass flare]

only the first system you encounter

[young quest]

I think next update might be a spaceship one

Just based off the corvette thing in the files

[umbral smelt]

i hope they add more customization options

especially the stickers/decals

i dont like the ugly purple and green stickers on my ship

[hardy flume]

Has anyone found a blue ocean blue sky water world?

Have had no luck so far haha

[compact coyote]

Hey guys so what do we think this corvette thing really is

[harsh mortar]

What’s Atlantium for?

[harsh mortar]

All the ones I’ve been to have been stormy and rough

[runic mesa]

Just finished In Stellar Multitudes. Think we'll see that Autophage again?

[grizzled apex]

I thought the name was procedural when I first played it, but it looks like HG named the character itself Yabli-Alpha. Might become recurring later on?

Now I'm confused... I though WP2 would tie in the World of Glass and the voice behind the portals w/ the Purple Systems, but we haven't seen them mentioned yet. I wonder if that's gonna be more prevalent for when we get ARG part 4...

[molten karma]

I still wonder if they're gonna do a Worlds Part 3 or something similar but with a new name. I feel they figured out how to add new variety without completely destroying the universe and we got this 9 years in so I wouldn't be surprised if we see more.

[real sapphire]

is there a data that tells the possibilities of abandoned, uncharted, and inhabited systems for purple stars? I feel its like 33.333 for all

[heavy light]

Is ISM the first time we’ve seen The Abyss referred to as ”The Prime”?

Or has it happened before?

[glass flare]

I felt it was just a reference to Korvax Prime and what VM once was

[heavy light]

Yeah for sure

I just wondered if she’s been referred to as that before

[glass flare]

not that I can remember offhand. I mean the lore has obviously talked about what she was in that regard, but I don't remember that title per se

[uncut harness]

I don't even know what they'll add next tbh we got deep oceans we got gas giants

[astral surge]

so is The Voice of Freedom connected to the Abyss at all?

[stuck ferry]

All we can do is give educated guesses. Base on its name and some of its related file names and such it seems like it will be a ship larger than a regular starship but smaller than a frigate. That’s all we really know

[glass flare]

I just hope whatever it is has single-player uses

[gloomy isle]

Tbh I'm assuming it's gonna be like a motorhome lol

Custom interior, hangar space for a couple ships, room for a large refiner, cooking, storage etc

[timber crescent]

They probably realised that you can't get a freighter in abandoned mode so they're trying to find an in-between

[naive sorrel]

Does New living ship suffer the same upgrade problem as OG living ships?

[sour fossil]

Considering it's not officially out yet I doubt anyone knows

And people who do tricks to get it in usually don't do it conduct tests and stuff, only to show off how cool they are /s

[gloomy isle]

Whoa I didn't realise about the space anomaly

Apparently over time it's been visually degrading and getting more and more beaten up

[icy citrus]

The fools still think the Atlas can't see them there

[analog breach]

The unicorn is more visible now

Not drowned in the dark like usual

[naive sorrel]

Fair enough. I just wondered if they had said anything.

I don't have the time to follow this game like I used to, so I don't didn't know if there was any information out about the new ship.

[icy citrus]

@grizzled apex Any word on the expedition start?

[hard stirrup]

How are the fishbowl helmets unlocked? I unlocked one from defeating a Child of Aquarium, but defeating another 2 did not unlock any more and I've fished up some 800 fish and none of the fishing unlocked any helmets.

[clear citrus]

think some of them is from releasing fish, fishing 5 boots and then catching all legendaries

[grizzled apex]

The servers still have the start date set as the placeholder <t:7258118400>
I'll keep checking over and let y'all know when it updates

[icy citrus]

Gracias

[sour fossil]

Damn I will be at work then

HG pleas move by a week

[icy citrus]

My head in a jar looks forward to it

[sour fossil]

You really believe there exists a jar big enough?

[icy citrus]

It's custom

[jovial basalt]

this makes me sad man

[hard stirrup]

Working on the legendaries. I already have all the info on how to efficiently catch them and where from. Haven't got to the boots yet, I am using the high end legendary bait so I am not catching any junk so far. I could probably get to releasing fish, I have tons of fish, so I could probably get that done fast.

[runic mesa]

They're tied to unlocking the 6 new fishing titles.

I had two titles and helms already unlocked immediately when I updated (I finished the Aquarius fishing catalog before WP2). One was for fishing 250 fish and the other for releasing 60.

Weird that you fished 800 and nothing happened. Did you have auto catch on? I wonder if that affects it. I don't use it.

[hard stirrup]

I don't think the Angler title gives a helmet...there are 6 titles but only 5 helmets, my guess is the Angler is the odd one out.

[runic mesa]

There are six titles and six helms.

[hard stirrup]

I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure there are only 5 helmets based on the update announcement post and I'm 99% sure the Angler title did not give me a helmet.

[runic mesa]

I have both the Sailfin Tank and Deepsea Hunter Tank unlocked and then 4 locked spots after. Maybe check to see if you have either of those?

[hard stirrup]

Five helmets:

[runic mesa]

There's 6 in the appearance modifier though

Gimme a second to get this last boot and I'll screencap

Sailfin:

Deepsea Hunter

[hard stirrup]

Yeah you are right, there are 6 in game, and I apparently have one from the Angler title too even though that helmet never appeared on screen when I got the title.

[runic mesa]

Which one? I want to confirm the helm tied to it.

[hard stirrup]

Not sure which is which but I have Sailfin Tank and Jellyfish Tank...one is from Angler and one from Child of Aquarius but idk which is which.

[runic mesa]

Sailfin is Angler. I have that one, but not Child of Aquarius yet. So jellyfish must be Aquarius then.

[clear citrus]

yeah

[runic mesa]

Which makes deepsea hunter tied to releasing.

Catching literally all flotsam but the last boot lol

[gusty stream]

I have a child of Aquarius, what do I do with it again?

[runic mesa]

Release it to trigger a boss fight

[gusty stream]

And doing that will give me the helmet?

[runic mesa]

Yes, but I haven't personally done it myself yet

[native carbon]

U get em from selling fish, releasing fish, fighting the aquarius guardian thing, catching 5 boots i believe, and idk

[uncut harness]

Is the exp gunna start right when the redux ends

[native carbon]

Probably, yeah

[uncut harness]

The new rewards are awesome as hell I can't wait lol

[hard stirrup]

Most likely but we don't know for sure.

[native carbon]

Agreed

[runic mesa]

Ugggh really want to catch this last boot before I have to get ready for work, but of course the RNG is fighting me

[hard stirrup]

How many boots do you need for title?

[runic mesa]

Reddit post I read claimed 5. I'm trying to verify it. I have 4 caught.

[hard stirrup]

I'm guessing the best way to catch them is shallow water without using bait?

[runic mesa]

Yup

[native carbon]

Morgeil do u know how to unlock the deep angler helmet one?

With an anglerfish inside?

[runic mesa]

This one?

[native carbon]

The other one

U know the fish with a light

Anglerfish

[hard stirrup]

Catch 250 fish.

[gloomy isle]

I love these helmets lol

[native carbon]

spits my Coffee WHAT

[runic mesa]

That's the sailfin.

[native carbon]

Oh thank god

[runic mesa]

This?

[native carbon]

Yeah

I need it

[runic mesa]

Release 60 fish

[native carbon]

K thank you

🙂

[gloomy isle]

I can't wait to play tonight and become a robot piloted by a fish

[hard stirrup]

250 isn't that bad. You'll have to catch a lot more before you get all legendary fish. Might as well settle in and relax, its going to be a few looong days of just fishing.

[gloomy isle]

At least there's new fish now too

[native carbon]

Which helmet do u get from unlocking all legendary fish?

[runic mesa]

It took me a week and more bionic lures than you want to know to catch all the pre-WP2 fish lol

[hard stirrup]

Not sure, haven't got it yet.

[native carbon]

Fish

[runic mesa]

Really glad I didn't tear down my old living glass farm...

Okay, I have to go to work. Guess I'll return to getting this stupid boot tonight. Sigh

[uncut harness]

I would love to fish but that flat water idk man lol

[runic mesa]

Got it! Confirmed, catch 5 boots.

[icy citrus]

Lmao get out

That's hilarious

[runic mesa]

Okay, leaving for work for real bye

Seeing the horizon stretch so far in NMS is really weird in a good way lol

[real sapphire]

i agree, how they execute the size of colossal planet is quite successful

[gloomy isle]

Are the mountains etc taller too? Or are they the same

[real sapphire]

some short, some tall

[gloomy isle]

That's cool, always good to have more variety

How have you got that? The expedition isn’t even out yet, is it?

Someone trade it to me

[jade compass]

Huh… how did they get it!?

[gritty orchid]

Save edit

[glacial terrace]

waittttt so the alantideum was used by the korvax?

as like their technology?

n the autophage kept it?

[jade compass]

Ahhhhh, right-
Really wishing I could take my save to PC for a bit lol

[jade compass]

The impression I got was that the alantideum IS the korvax. At least- I think? The korvax from prime.

[fluid valley]

Try to ask in the anomaly if someone trade it lol

[glacial terrace]

so would this mean the sentinels were made by the korvax?

no wait they were made by the atlas

[gritty orchid]

That IS NOT helping the case

[glacial terrace]

no mans sky lore got me trippin ong

[jade compass]

Naaaah, I’m good… id like to avoid that unless I can do it myself. Besides, I’m fine waiting.

[gloomy isle]

This is fucking insane

[dull badge]

have you heard of the korvax attack on the gek?

[glacial terrace]

yeah i do

[jade compass]

Yeah- no, sentinels were atlas, the void and all of that stuff is related to, or came from the destruction of korvax prime…

[glacial terrace]

n how the gek euthanized the korvax

or was it the korvax that did it

[jade compass]

I don’t know, honestly I’ve missed a lot of the lore.

[glacial terrace]

all i rmr is one race euthanized another

[dull badge]

it was the gek. they were originally the first spawn but the korvax rebelled and turned them into what they look like now

Ok so I just hijacked (sidejacked?) the atlas and it prompted me with some data like deciding between one of the 3 races, as well as STORM vs HORROR vs HUNTER and it felt like it was going to affect the seeds of the purple star system, is that what it did?

By process of elimination, either fish all legendaries or selling fish. I think shrimp is selling though, will confirm after work.

Ugh, selling not cooking. Stupid Friday brain

Helms are tied to the new fishing titles. One for each. Helm notification might be bugged, so just check your Anomaly helm unlocks when you get a fishing title.

[uncut harness]

Ok so here I am at the bottom of the ocean 1200 units down...
Thanks to the poor planning of Hello, there is no energy access here...
There are no geothermal units for vents.... There is no fusion reactor, no fission reactors, no wave generator, no tidal generator, ... There is no sun of course in the abyssal zone.
All we have to power anything is 2 day duration carbon units. or electromagnetic spots if we're lucky...

[young quest]

With them using lnf tech for NMS I can see a creature overhaul sometime this year

[gusty stream]

No EM hotspots?

[young quest]

Idk if there’ll be a worlds part 3 but if there is I’d imagine I’d be a fauna or poi overhaul

Or both

[pliant aurora]

Yeah POIs still need a lot of work so im hoping they touch on that next

They hit space stations, planets and space itself. Just need POIs and a bit more done on fauna. Id love to see whales and sharks in the ocean.

[gloomy isle]

Solar power works

But electromagnetic is the best in every situation basically, so it's best to look when you're placing a base

[sweet stirrup]

how many fish do I need to sell for the shrimp helmet??

[icy citrus]

All I've heard is a bunch, whatever that means

[sweet stirrup]

yeah that's also what I heard

I hope it isn't something like 250

[icy citrus]

I got a number

1 million worth

[runic mesa]

Cool. Will confirm after I get home.

[dull badge]

Is there any system where they don't sell for 40% less?

[runic mesa]

Still haven't caught a Child of Aquarius, but I'm sure I'll get several going after the new legendaries...

[runic mesa]

Sell to pilots.

But yeah, they don't sell well.

[icy citrus]

Sorry, I haven't sold a single fish as of yet

[runic mesa]

I tried after Aquarius. Cooking them first, then selling is way more profitable.

But if you go after legedaries, you'll likely get 1mil worth of raw fish easy.

I recommend going after the legendaries title first. If you do that and use bait, you'll likely get 4 of the other titles while doing it. Then remove bait for 5 boots and that's all of them

You'll get PLENTY of fish to sell/release while trying for legendaries. Trust me.

[timid mist]

Could also try selling to planetary outpost npcs

No clue if it's any better tho

[spice sky]

Any idea what Polished Stone is used for?

[timid mist]

The new buildable ruins

On the planets with ruins there's a thing you can find to unlock them, won't say too much more unless you wanna know specifically

[uncut harness]

The new buildable ruins give me so many ideas
Here's hoping glitch building works on them

[timid mist]

They clip with existing structures which is kinda nice, I built some and then built stone buildings off of them. Matches pretty closely

By clip I do mean clip btw, they don't snap. You can scale them and rotate them. Didn't try free placement but I think most things that let you scale and rotate allow free placement

[spice sky]

yes. How do I get them?

[timid mist]

Explore the ruins planets and you'll find a spinning glowing object called a memory stone. Just interact with that and it'll give you a random one

Really easy to find at night with the new lighting, looks cool

[spice sky]

Ah nice

[timid mist]

Does kinda make me wonder what they give if you have all the recipes already. I'd guess nanites or a larger stack of stone

[quartz thistle]

Everybody seems to have forgotten the four armed npc's
I wonder

What will they become

[icy citrus]

Bird peoples

Top set will be the wings

[glass flare]

I really wish the relic planets themselves had procedural ruined structures that we could explore. Because right now they just feel like an exotic world with random things sticking out of the ground everywhere

[uncut harness]

Have you guys found any giant paradise?

[lofty fable]

I did some testing on abandoned mode

You can play abandoned mode on ANY mode, so it's like a submode. BUT is abandoned mode on normal mode separated from players that are not on abandoned mode?

Perma death on abandoned is separated, but is normal mode on abandoned also on its own universe?

I'm testing this right now

I know that if someone on normal mode joins someone on perma death in abandoned mode, it restarts their save.

So if someone on normal mode joins someone on normal mode with abandoned mode, and it restarts their save, it means the two are separated

[uncut harness]

I was very interested in abandoned mode till i seen it shows up as custom
Possible switch bug? Iduno

[lofty fable]

I have not seen that. If you mean when choosing to play a save, then for me it shows up as whatever mode I choose to create the abandoned mode on

So if you choose custom mode but turn on abandoned mode, it's gonna show up as custom on your save @uncut harness from what I have gathered anyway

[uncut harness]

Ya i just don't want to see custom on the save screen lol it looks like a failed permanent death save lol just a nitpick

[lofty fable]

only away around that is to not play on custom

[lofty fable]

I just got done investigation

• Only perma-death on abandoned is separated from other modes
• Normal, Relaxed, Survival players on abandoned mode can see other players that are not on abandoned mode
• All abandoned mode regardless of difficulty setting are barred from communicating in chat with players that are not on abandoned mode
• Abandoned mode players can damage players on not abandoned mode, vice versa
• Space station instances are different

[molten karma]

Man that sounds great. I'll have to create a new save. Only thing is I heard purple systems aren't possible with Abandon mode so you have to install a mod on PC.

[lofty fable]

another note is that perma death players can join perma death players that are on abandoned

sucks

i really thought it had a lot of potential tbh, like trading being a huge thing since there are basically no vendors or things in abandoned mode

but now normal perma death players can just jump in and ruin the entire thing

[jovial basalt]

what does the reset here actually do

will i lose my freighter and stuff and quest progress and all that jazz

[icy citrus]

You won't lose anything, you will get to choose the type of galaxy you go to afterwards

[jovial basalt]

oh ok nice

[icy citrus]

However, all your active tech in ship, suit and multitool will break

[jovial basalt]

not the end of the world

[icy citrus]

Nope

[jovial basalt]

also is the autophage quest the new one? i dont seem to have that one

[runic mesa]

In Stellar Multitudes is new. They Who Returned isn't, it was added over a year ago.

[cobalt garden]

Hey guys for anyone interested I shared a picture of the deepwater guardian and his reward on the media sub bc I can’t post it here unfortunately, sorry for that

[gloomy isle]

Doing the quest now, definitely wasn't expecting it to be such a direct follow up from the autophage quest lol

Basically runs right into it

[quartz thistle]

@cobalt garden here's your pictures of the deep water guardian and it's reward

I saw you wanted to put it here so here ya go

[real sapphire]

My Reaction:

[hard stirrup]

I have now collected 24 out of 32 legendary fish in the game, how's everyone doing with that so far? Anyone managed to finish getting them all yet?

If all goes well I should be able to finish them up tomorrow, and then all I'll have left to do is to fish up 5 boots.

My current goal is to finish with fishing before expedition 17 starts, and I've already collected all 12 ruin base parts, as well as completed the new story mission...that would be all the progress I can make before the expedition stats so when it arrives I can focus on nothing else but getting the expedition done.

[dull badge]

how did the fight go for you? it only started attacking me when it was at half health so not sure if it was bugged or not

[cosmic scaffold]

what's your backpack skin? its new?

[dull badge]

i got it from the aquarius expedition but i believe it's still available from the expedition redux that's active until february 5th

[cobalt garden]

Thanks very much kind interloper !!

[cosmic scaffold]

ohh yeah, i checked my rewards and i got it, thanks!

[formal granite]

I'm assuming solar power won't function a kilometer deep underwater. would my best bet for power just be to find a hotspot?

[hard stirrup]

They might work, it's worth testing because I don't know if the game considers the water above as blocking them from the sun. But no, that's not the best way to power those bases...use the hotspot scanner and see if you can find any electromagnetic power hotspots down there...if you do that's infinite power that doesn't turn off at night.

[formal granite]

also, what's the pre-requisite quest for In Stellar Multitudes? my friend has been pulsing around for a while and hasn't gotten it, he's completed the atlas path and from what I can tell the autophage quest

[uncut harness]

Have you guys found any giant paradise?

[little scroll]

Is it just me or do fauna in purple systems have a REALLY high chance of being synthetic? I found a system with all 6 planets being synthetic.

[quartz thistle]

It's Nopress's pictures so no idea xd

[hard stirrup]

Ok so I caught all 32 legendary fish in the game and the title and helmet did not unlock. Am I missing something? Were legendary fish added by Worlds Part 2 that weren't there before or what?

Hmm...looking at the fish records in the catalogue it seems like we don't know about a biome or two. Between pages 5 and 6 there are 42 consecutive undiscovered fish...that is definitely consistent with exactly two unknown biomes....since there are 21 fish per biome plus the common 21 that are in all biomes(but these I discovered).

Good news is the title isn't bugged...that we know of.

[real sapphire]

you may have looked into uncharted systems.

Uncharted systems may sometimes have synthetic lifeforms

Purple system have considerable chance of being uncharted

[runic mesa]

I haven't started looking yet, but it looks like WP2 added two more binome sets of fish. I stocked some bionic bait up and am going to poke around purple systems today.

The 32 legendaries are the ones from Aquarius.

I had the fishing log completed before WP2. So I just have to look for the new ones

[hard stirrup]

I'm looking now. Will post here if I find anything. I'm guessing the super deep oceans will be one of the biomes we're looking for but haven't found one yet.

[runic mesa]

My guess is water worlds and gas giants have their own fish sets.

[hard stirrup]

I found one gas giant but I doubt any of them will have water.

[runic mesa]

If it is 2 binomes, then your missing 6 legendaries.

[native carbon]

Btw did they added new fish to catch this update?

Cannot tell myself

Besides the child of aquarius

[runic mesa]

Yes. I had everything filled prior to WP2 and now there's new stuff in there

[native carbon]

Nice thanks

[hard stirrup]

8, 4 legendaries per biome.

[runic mesa]

Oh, right. Sorry, I just woke up.

[hard stirrup]

Ocean worlds ARE one of the two new biomes that need to be fished.

[spice sky]

where exactly do I find those 2? I know what they are but still

[hard stirrup]

Quartzte is found in the new purple systems. Cursed dust I forget, I think that was an expedition thing but don't remember.

[spice sky]

and wth is this? bug? visual bug?

[spice sky]

the 2 that are ??? I mean

[analog breach]

Yes its a bug

[hard stirrup]

One is a new gas, I think you need to set up a base to harvest a hotspot...probably on gas giants. The other not sure but I suspect it's crystalized helium...with helium likely being the new gas.

[spice sky]

can't be crystalized hellium, I have a stack of it in inventory, and it is discovered

[runic mesa]

Methane can be gathered with an atmosphere harvester on gas giants. I just did this

Crystallized helium is mined from gas giants from the usual mining spots

[runic mesa]

Lithium? I think that's from water worlds, but I haven't found one yet.

[sweet stirrup]

I think I figured out how to get the shrimp tank helmet
if I got it right then you have to sell around 100 fish. or maybe you have to sell a specific amount of units in fish. if that's the case then I believe that it might be around 500k-1m

[runic mesa]

Pilots or galactic trade terminal?

[full hound]

guys how do we trigger the deepwater guardian boss fight

[runic mesa]

Catch a Child of Helio fish and then release it back

[glass halo]

i think it needs to be a "child of aquarius", not the legendary "child of helios"
afaik it's a random catch, but not an actual fish, it doesn't stack

[hollow osprey]

I'm using solar at -1200u, it seems weaker than normal though

[runic mesa]

Sorry, I meant Aquarius.

[hard stirrup]

Caught all 4 legendary fish in the deep ocean biome, no additional complications like diurnal/nocturnal, just fish until you have all of them.

[glass halo]

Congrats!
None of them have special requirements like storm or anything? O_o

[hard stirrup]

No. Just fish until you have them.

But now I still have no idea what the last biome I'm supposed to fish is. It's something new so most likely in purple systems but gas giants don't have water and relic worlds just have the fish of the regular biome the relics are places over.

[glass halo]

the last biome IS gas giants, but i've only found shallow water inside of caves.
also haven't found a single stormfish, even though gas giants seem to have permanent storms active... :/

[hard stirrup]

Oh, they have water in caves? Maybe that's it then. Will have to investigate later. Too tired now, need some sleep.

But no legendary fish so far has had the storm or diurnal requirement. 4 of them from regular planets were nocturnal but that's it.

[glass halo]

water surfaces are usually easier to spot at night, because of the luminescence.
or you can use the scanner to locate crystal sulphide or relics found in water.
or just dig down and see if there is any water to be found at the bottom.

[quartz thistle]

@cobalt garden Do you remember what kind of planet you caught the fish?

paradise, endless seas?

[fluid valley]

@radiant forge

[maiden swan]

Who can help me to trade it with me! I need advice

[fluid valley]

Just go in the anomaly and if you see someone with it ask him if hé can trade it to you, that how i get mine

[maiden swan]

We console player don’t have chat!🥲

[fluid valley]

Im console player too

[maiden swan]

We got chat now!?

[fluid valley]

Some people on pc have Xbox account you can talk too, on PlayStation i dont know

[maiden swan]

I give a try

🙏 thank you

[fluid valley]

Or send message to "rustyrat7" on discord, he Can trade it if you ask him i think

[maiden swan]

In dc I can’t find Rustyrat7 but in xbox i find 1 guy with that name, that’s the guy?

[fluid valley]

I send you message

[runic mesa]

Shrimp Tank helm IS unlocked through selling fish. Just confirmed it.

[hard path]

Yoohoo! Blazing through Atlas path while skimming the wiki and the wiki reports the 'correct' path is to walk away?

[late tusk]

cuz i really want some of the fish tank head

[hard path]

Can anyone give better context what major differences are between 'Heart of the Star' walking or fulfilling? Wiki just says The 'Walk away' Mark gets recharged with nanites?

[pliant aurora]

Was this massive structure in the new story line? Haven’t seen anyone post it yet. Wondering if they ended up cutting it or saving it for something else later.

[uncut harness]

Nothing in the data leaks is guaranteed to happen
I've been waiting for space racing for five years

Auto correct

[mental socket]

coords?

[analog breach]

This can be just one of many throwed put ideas. Datamined content does not guarantee anything. It only implies that Hg is testing, making ingame concept models, trying stuff out etc.

[zenith perch]

I see some datamined stuff has implied corvettes exist

[grim lintel]

Have there been new datamines since the update came out?

[zenith perch]

if this is the final part i think it just gives a title named mark of the denier or rememberance which is some item

[zenith perch]

someone on twitter found something

@fluid valley Have you played through the main quest completely? are you aware of the meaning of 16?

[uncut harness]

Sorry for late response but heres the glyphs

[mental socket]

ty!

[wide adder]

I’m stuck on the Memories of Atlantid mission. It tells me to do the sideload with the Atlas, but I've already done it. Is this a glitch or do I have to make another memory thing and do it again?

[fluid valley]

Yes of course

[cloud plume]

Hum quick question guys, how to start the new questline?

i've done all quest but idk how to start this one

ewww is that a know "bug"? such low resolution

also what does that mean "surplus cargo will be destroyed", are the storage slots being whiped?

[sonic rivet]

yes

[cloud plume]

oh.

[sonic rivet]

your starship storage will be entirely emptied out when archiving it

[cloud plume]

that's unfortunate XD

[short raft]

I guess since everything is a simulation of a 16 minute loop, the idea of when is outside of the realm of the simulation

Since our analysis visor also always shows a time between 0:00 and 16 minutes

[uncut harness]

Did I just get a bug or do the giant squids not have an attack? Found some massive aggressive labeled ones at the bottom of the ocean and they didn’t respond to attacks at all

[late tusk]

pretty neat looking

[cloud plume]

expedition 17 is out already?

[late tusk]

no i just edited it in

(wanted to see if im gonna get it on ps5 when the exped drops

[silent trench]

Man new terrain is great but it would be nice if most of the universe wasn't still using the old algorithm

Feels very disjointed

[cloud plume]

welp, i wish my planet didn't changed AGAIN XD,
at least it's good looking this time

[late tusk]

if all living ships looked like the xped one id suffer to get them more tbh

[late tusk]

this 100%

sadly i guess they didnt want to piss everyone off with a universe reset. but i would not mind in the slightest. id rather have the new algorithm than the old messy hilly planets

[silent trench]

Like I just have no desire to visit non-purple systems now

[late tusk]

i cant even do it until i do the story rah!

[crimson shard]

OMG this purple systems it's an absolute next level and yeah definitely an end game type!

So I believe that the purple systems mostly can have gas giants as written on sometimes, there's also a chance to have a underwater planet which this was the most awe shocking moment I went

Btw, going into the gas giant was crazy scary 😨 I figure that it is highly recommended to have full S Class protection modules no matter what! Because this is a Extreme Weather full on non stop!

Btw, I'm kinda bugged and nervous when I went into the abyss, since I had the deep water module, I'm still losing too much oxygen, is this normal??? Does this means I had to always use the Nautilus? Because this feels super annoying if I wanna build an underwater base in deep of the abyss wasting insanely amount of oxygen

[rotund trellis]

"Bugged"
The gas giant IS VERY BUGGED
#nms-questions message

[rotund trellis]

anyway you have to use the nautilus, because otherwise you will die from the extreme pressure conditions

[crimson shard]

Like I'm equipped with the new underwater module they announced, but I keep dropping too much life support, not the oxygen, sorry I missed written lol

[rotund trellis]

I recommend you build a room quickly and continue building the base from there

[crimson shard]

I don't think I'm not getting any issues for Gas Giant though, but I knew it was extremely potential dangerous going in since it's non stop extreme storms, good thing I was fully prepped since I got full S Class Modules

[crimson shard]

So it's normal then??? Dang that would be so tricky 💫

[rotund trellis]

If you are not well protected you will end up like the billionaires who went to see the Titanic underwater

[rotund trellis]

I don't understand how to survive because I start losing life even though I still have protection

[crimson shard]

What's that's suppose to mean??? Surely I'm full on S Class, but, does this mean on that new module they released upgrade modules to get S Class though??? I might need to investigate

[rotund trellis]

if you find out anything tell me

[crimson shard]

I'm gonna investigate in the modules shop if they have this type of deep water upgrades

Not the main one, but to have max 3

I'll be much later since I'm in the middle of something lol

Btw, I'm also gonna try and find new ruined building stuffs, I haven't seen yet because I was focusing on the new story to unlock purple stars

I wonder if I use the ruined building cartography item to locate this type of building I can find the new ones? Might had to test out though

I read at the update info that there's new buildings schematics from those hmmmm

[noble geyser]

Are the new memory stones bugged? Can't seem to get the last two?

[analog breach]

Its rng i think. Maybe Try reloading and check if parts are unlocked.

[clear citrus]

i have the sentinel, S class lifesupport and the autophage tech lifesupport upgrades and it still chews off alot of it

pretty sure the depths are meant to be the hardest location to be in

granted your lifesupport also drains inside the nautilus

[crimson shard]

Ok interesting but dang it worth a try

[gloomy isle]

Does it seem to anyone else that the original story arc starting with interceptor has actually been added to? We've definitely just had an important part but it's not looking like the end of it

It seems that it's got bigger than they were initially planning

[glass flare]

Not sure what you mean exactly, the Stellar Multitudes questline does add to the main story arc. It pushes the main timeline forwards.

One thing that's never been addressed is the introduction of Pirate-controlled systems. It seemed like they were playing up the start of a new threat to the power balance, and then they just dropped it

[late tusk]

id like to see system conflict actually mean something

[uncut harness]

I wish they connected it to the cursed more but understandable the exp won't always be there

[gloomy isle]

I'm saying that we were supposed to get one more but but it looks like they're doing more with it

[glass flare]

I guess it's more that I see the Interceptor arc as background info in order to advance the main storyline with Stellar Multitudes. But the importance of Void Mother and the Autophages has of course become much greater to future story arcs now.

Like, Void Mother had mostly been background story for the lore nerds like us in this channel. But now she's part of the main story

[crimson shard]

Can someone tell me how do I find those ruins? Because I use the Monolith maps and couldn't find the new ones? Was it had to be an specific planet or system?

[glass flare]

The relic planets? They only exist in purple systems

[crimson shard]

I did, but idk if it has to be like abandon purple system?

[glass flare]

I don't think so. But perhaps they are a bit rare. I've only found one so far

[crimson shard]

Is there like detail if you scan the planet, I'll tell if this a planet that says it's a relic sorta?

[glass flare]

I -think- the planet type had "Relic" in the name...

[crimson shard]

Oh ok then, my guessing since I checked like 3 or 4 times on gas giants, I highly doubt there's that. So my guessing I'm gonna had to do is either on purple dissonance system or just a purple no gas or that type

Might had to check those

[scenic flume]

anyone know if you can do anything with sea glass except sell it?

[hard stirrup]

Gas giants are the last collection of fish needed but water is only found in caves and is shallow only. How do we catch the large and colossus size fish there?

[gloomy isle]

Yeah, particularly with this quest it feels like something might be happening with that, at least when the story next advances. Especially with them now speaking to us directly

Ngl I'm really curious as to what's going on with the generation in the purple systems.

Even outside of the biomes and terrain there's some wild stuff going on with colour and atmospherics that I've not really seen in regular systems

And the terrain doesn't feel like it's picking from a small list of templates any more either

Even though there's definitely a list of terrain types, I could swear every planet I've seen has been pretty different terrain wise

[glass flare]

I haven't seen unique atmospherics compared to normal planets yet, but the terrain is definitely like a generational step forward. Sean really took the terrain complaints personally lol

[gloomy isle]

I found this ice planet, and it was 99% flat aside from some mountains which you could spot from space against the water

It must have been less than maybe 20 on the whole planet

[glass flare]

At times it feels like a slightly softer version of 1.0 terrain. So much complexity and more chaotic bits

[gloomy isle]

I don't think I've seen anything unique but I think I there might be some new combos that I've not seen before

[glass flare]

Yeah I landed on a planet last night that had towering mountains and transitioned to really flat plains

[uncut harness]

I'd probably still say pathfinder better but I agree this worlds terrain has been sweet

Gas giants probably should of cooked longer tho

[glass flare]

It definitely feels like purple worlds have quite a bit of Light No Fire DNA in them

[gloomy isle]

Did you see those mountains on reddit that were so high the terrain collisions broke lol

I think it being a titan planet might have factored in but I'm not sure

[glass flare]

ha no I didn't. did HG increase the overall max atmosphere height possible

titan worlds feels like they have higher atmospheres, but it also feels like there's some parlor tricks going on

[gloomy isle]

I feel like the number of biomes, colours, atmospheres etc has got to the point where it's really hard to tell what's new or not lol

Ig for a game like this that's a good thing

[glass flare]

the color palettes possible in purple systems feels pretty wide. maybe that's just a matter of everything being new, but I keep being astonished by the colors

I'm mostly avoiding reddit and datamine stuff this update because I decided I want to just be naturally surprised by what I find

[gloomy isle]

Same, I've been finding lots of mist colours that I've not seen before too

At least in combination with the rest of the planet's palette

The worlds part 1 and 2 biomes are way more procedural than a lot of past ones too

[uncut harness]

I found a cherry blossom desert before I seen it on reddit, was pretty sweet

[glass flare]

some of the new flora assets I've seen don't seem very procedural, but at least they look nice

[gloomy isle]

Yeah a few of the plants don't have many variations

Though I think the biomes in general have a really wide range of assets that they can spawn

And seemingly density too

[glass flare]

I wish non-gas giants had more animal variation though. they seem to be locked to the same settings as normal planets

[cobalt garden]

Hellooo did someone find fishing quests at the mission agent on space stations ? It is written in the update that their should be fishing missions now but can’t find any… Ty

whoever knows ill give you a child of aquarius as a gift if u dont have it yet 🦐🫡

One other underappreciated thing with the new terrain is finally no more weird glitchy islands in the ocean lol

[uncut harness]

On the subject of glitchy ilands I hate to see floating islands on other planets lol

[grim lintel]

Has anyone been softlocked when ||feeding the Memories of Atlantid to the Atlas?|| When the quest is active, there's no prompt in the bottom right corner to do something, and having ||Spoken to Atlas and chosen a specific solar system, no option is coming up||

[grizzled apex]

considering that we're restoring old systems, it kinda makes sense why they have old-style terrain in a lore sense too.

Looking at the system timeline in Stellar Multitudes, these restored stars seem to be from before pre release systems too which was interesting (going by the Paroi Major name drop)

[uncut harness]

Yall think drivable frigates are on thr table , little mini base inside maybe

[glass flare]

only disconnect is the purple systems having the new-style stations, though I guess there was a never a story reason for them changing

[grizzled apex]

I wonder if they cut whatever the station override was gonna do entirely. Orbital made the most sense for whatever that did to finally be added, and now I don't think we're gonna get an update to stations again anytime soon...

[glass flare]

Yeah...it does seem like something related to the override was cut. In most cases they've explained game changes, like the pirate systems, through narrative. But space stations completely changing was never mentioned at all in the narrative. Maybe they could never find a good story reason to explain the change

I hope they do have some station updates though, there's those side rooms that aren't fully done

[uncut harness]

I think the new space stations is a easy enough updated only for the player to give us crafting and to make them unique and not so samey on the outside

[glass flare]

I just want a window I can walk up to and look out into space, like the original stations had

[pliant aurora]

yeah he did lol

[mental socket]

@grizzled apex HG seems to have removed the favorite button from other players bases. Any idea if it's intentional or not?

Am saddened that such an useful feature would get scrapped right out of the gate

[patent shale]

this isnt true, i found one in a green or blue star system

[north anchor]

so I just moved my mouse around and clicked on the box it's there just invisible

[mighty rampart]

didnt take a screenshot but I can confirm they have such missions, it was for explorer and I think level 6 since I'm maxed on all 3 factions

it was about 6 common catches

2 fusion accelerants as a reward

[grizzled apex]

Hmm, is this on the latest experimental? The last 2 pushes haven't touched any MBINs, so if it was changed during those, we can't really check...

They did mention removing the button from featured bases since it was nonfunctional, but I didn't think it'd be removed from all non-self made bases...

[mighty rampart]

I guess the other one I had found before was probably 6 uncommon

[toxic fjord]

Guys, I though I was kind of a minority on this, but I'm starting to feel a pattern. NMS players generally either don't like or are disappointed by the rendition of gas giants in the game....

It seems to me (based on top comments and most voted posts on this topic) that our playerbase, something that "kinda looks like a gas giants front he distance" doesn't seem to be good enough, even if NMS has it's particular art style.

[icy citrus]

Hopefully they aren't just complaining to other gamers

[toxic fjord]

I think HG will eventually see these comments

[real sapphire]

i wonder, most, or perhaps all new terrains only appear in Purple systems?

[lofty drum]

Pretty sure

Haven't seen relic and water worlds anywhere else

[real sapphire]

relic world can be found in normal system

[lofty drum]

The upgrades to existing biomes might take effect elsewhere, idk

Oh, sick

I havent explored too much

[real sapphire]

well one of them actually appeared in my previous home system after WP2

i forgot to place base there... so its kinda lost

[lofty drum]

Bases on a planet prevent it from being changed?

[real sapphire]

as i deleted that home base

[lofty drum]

Or am I reading that wrong

That can't be

[real sapphire]

uh no, one of the planets in my previous home system turned into relic

[lofty drum]

Oh, okay

I built a city on a beautiful paradise planet but WP1 made it a rainy planet with mile high trees

[real sapphire]

i know that assets in existing planets might change

outside purple star

[lofty drum]

They did for a lot of people

That's true

[solar turret]

I was thinking about this

They should have a lot more "gas"

[simple fiber]

And giants

[timber crescent]

I really thought that the anomaly suppression feature from the cursed exp was going to be introduced in the purple systems.

I kinda liked the extra danger & situational awareness required

[cobalt garden]

Ive just seen that the nexus is giving fishing missions too ! nice

[mighty rampart]

if you do the space station one it thinks you're doing the nexus one

[cobalt garden]

Im doing a nexus one I cant post screens here unfortunately

[cobalt garden]

oh, i get it mb, thats weird

[dusky kernel]

I can't help but agree tbh.

I should be ably to fly straight down into it for like a minute straight before seeing anything remotely solid

if people are disappointed, then I guess I can outright say it too. gas giants being as solid as they are disappoints me.

[fervent fern]

Ruins on normal systems are not something I was expecting lol. I thought they made more sense on purple systems only.

What I've read somewhere is that biomes were improved overall, but couldn't confirm

I only visited one base I had pre-WP2 and the place seemed more-or-less the same, at least from what I remember...

[fringe scarab]

I am s tuck pleaes someone help im lost been trying for 2 days to fix this and i cant find the new star <*

[full hound]

i finally got the child of aquarius helmet oh my god that took a while

[glass flare]

I wonder what planet type the ruins planets replaced in non-purple systems. I agree that it seems odd from a story perspective for them to show up in non-purples

[uncut harness]

For me it was nice when a leap in the dark went somewhere notable

[umbral smelt]

Did you change your path to current mission?

[kind vigil]

Difference between the 4?

[native carbon]

yes

[dusky kernel]

red is harsh galaxy, with a distribution of more extreme planets

green is lush, with more lush planets

[native carbon]

green - lush galaxy, blue - empty, red - harsh, cyan - normal (i think)

[dusky kernel]

dark blue is empty, with more exotic planets and dead planets

cyan is norm, which is the generic galaxy distirbution of planets

[kind vigil]

So if i want something similar to euclid i want cyan?

[native carbon]

yes

[kind vigil]

and I can always go back to euclid right?

[dusky kernel]

the specific galaxies are:

#003 Calypso (harsh, red)
#010 Eissentam (lush, green)
#007 Budullangr (dark blue, empty)
#002 Hilbert (cyan, norm)

[native carbon]

yes

[kind vigil]

Ok so then I think ill choose eissentam to get a change and then if i miss euclid i can go back

[dusky kernel]

wait. if the void mother's corrupting all the water with nanites and like half of the water in the universe is corrupted, then is it certain lore-wise that all the ocean planets have the water since they're all in purple systems, which are straight up a manifestation of her?

[glass flare]

I'm curious about where all the Autophages got restored to. Are we going to see future updates where Autophages in purple systems start building bigger communities? Or are the spoken bits we read in the story by all the Autophages just memories or part of VM's consciousness?

[analog breach]

Maybe autophages will have their own system

[crimson shard]

Guys, can someone explain to me why on the fauna list has extinct creatures???

[analog breach]

And poi

[crimson shard]

I'm on exploration at the deep waters and went to see how many are there at the fauna list and then this 👀

[analog breach]

Usualy it happens when HG rerolled seed for planet. So old ones go extinct

[crimson shard]

Can it be rediscovered? Because this is super strange though since it's there and the icon is like hand bone

[lofty marten]

Ummm

Is this really how many planets there are??

18,446,744,073,709,551,616?

[analog breach]

Its the number that game engine can support in teory

In practice its around 2 quadrilions.

[lofty marten]

It seems every single planet I've been to has never been discovered before

[dire drum]

because it hasn't

[lofty marten]

That's insanely cool...

[analog breach]

Game is B I G

[lofty marten]

How is this game so far ahead of every other game in terms of vastness?

[analog breach]

After 8 years , 10 mil sold copies euclid is explored in approx 0.015%

[dire drum]

Two words: procedural generation

[lofty marten]

I get that, but damn.

[analog breach]

Its just math

[lofty marten]

Really puts our own universe into perspective.

[dire drum]

It's easier to make a massive game when you have to put minimal effort into creating a world

[lofty marten]

I'm really enjoying every second of it.

I just discovered a planet that changes colors as I explore

[glass flare]

I wouldn't say "minimal" effort... the effort is the great amount of work they did to actually make worlds that look interesting via procedural generation. In that respect, they were and still are way ahead of everyone else in the industry

[lofty marten]

Are you guys pretty knowledgeable in the game? I have lots of questions

[glass flare]

Most of us have been playing a long time, though general help questions are better asked in #nms-questions

[lofty marten]

Ah I was hoping someone could add me and we could talk in voice coms

[glass flare]

Ah sorry, I am working today 😅 But the people in the help channel are very....helpful

[lofty marten]

Thanks!

[native carbon]

what the hell is that

u can catch a living ship now?

lol

[analog breach]

From shadow i can tell its a living frigate

How or why it can be catched. Idk.

[native carbon]

Wait so living frigates are from The oceans?

[analog breach]

They spend childhood in the oceans

Child of helios is simliar

[native carbon]

Wait so are they born in the oceans or in the space? (Babies go to the oceans)

[analog breach]

Idk

[native carbon]

Also ngl i want a living frigate as a creature in the ocean

[analog breach]

Would be cool if we could

That would be something for giant water world. If there is any.

[gusty stream]

Does anyone know if there are giant ocean worlds?

[uncut harness]

Probably i don't see why not

[dusky kernel]

I want to know if the waterworld biome can exist as moons myself

[icy citrus]

Not according to the tables I have seen so far

[silent trench]

I've seen some planets that are close, but not 100% deep sea

[analog breach]

I would not be suprised if HG will roll out rest of features like ginat water worlds for WP2 later. Now they are testing ground and gather feedback bc its first time they added systems to game.

[icy citrus]

Very possible indeed

[dusky kernel]

I'm very interested in the documented variants of waterworld weather considering I've seen cold, scorched, and radioactive, along with a sign of a fourth pattern.

them all being listed as "coastal storms" hampers that, though

[soft shuttle]

im currently at the mission "the purge" and i already know what is going to happen but i wanna know, if i choose to go to a different galaxy, will i be able to go back to the bases i made in the original galaxy?

[dusky kernel]

yes

[soft shuttle]

thank god, i saw this guy on reddit say that it will get rid of your bases

[dusky kernel]

all the "resetting" stuff is for dramatic effect, it just transports you and breaks all of the technology in your current ship/mt/exosuit

[soft shuttle]

oh i should use a crappy ship then

[dusky kernel]

yeah, and multitool.

also pack your exosuit tech before you go so you can unpack it unscathed

[soft shuttle]

could i pack my multitool tech as well?

[dusky kernel]

yeah

just make sure the tech you want undamaged isn't in any of your current inventories when you jump

[soft shuttle]

so will they be fine if i put them in the cargo? or should i just put them in my frieghter's containers

[silent trench]

You can just pack it up nowadays right? Don't even have to remove them from the inventory.

[dusky kernel]

yeah

I just mean in tech inventories. regular ones are good

[soft shuttle]

okay cool

[late tusk]

i commited a bit of space piracy tonight :)

[gloomy isle]

Okay yeah I'm at a loss for how the new terrain works lol

Like I've been finding genuine regional terrain differences on some planets

I'm on a lush world and landed in one place and it had these insane mountains

Elsewhere it's still very rugged but a lot flatter and I can't find another mountain like it lol

[uncut harness]

I've been noticing that since worlds one some planets have different biomes almost

It's not always but somtimes

[gloomy isle]

Looking at the patch notes, it seems like the new system might be blending several terrain styles per planet

Instead of just picking a single one

[silent trench]

Yeah the purple terrain is something else, even when I see the same biomes again the terrain usually redeems the variety

[gloomy isle]

The worlds biomes tend to be pretty varied even between the same ones too ngl

But this terrain is genuinely insane lol

The terrain I'm in rn is the most rugged I've ever found

Even since 1.0

[compact coyote]

They did amazing with terrain

[wet copper]

I got to the end of this expedition and I was disappointed in the voice.

The voice teased me early in the expedition as if they'd at one point been in contact with Artemis.

At the end of the expedition, they're just some docile figment with no connection to anything tangible.

They offered no wisdom. Asked nonsense questions....then disappeared into the ether of their own grave site.

[uncut harness]

It'd disappointing for sure but I figure they didn't go all the way because not everyone will do the exp

[wet copper]

I remember the moments before reaching the gravesite...expecting it to be Artemis...as if somehow she had escaped back into the universe beyond the one I put her in.

I had hope that maybe Artemis wasn't gone....

and maybe they'd become a part of a universe that I could convince myself wasn't a fiction within a fiction

...or at the very least her existence beyond the fold of a bottled universe might suggest I was wrong to put her there or to even imagine that I could...that her being was more than the sum of what I tucked in a bottle.

hears the music time in a bottle by Jim Croce

The existence of Artemis beyond capture validates my own existence.

[gloomy isle]

Okay so I think from what I've seen they're 100% blending terrain styles together instead of just picking one

I've just flown over a planet with very small bits of the old snake terrain

Others have posted some planets with a bit more, and someone posted one with fully snakey terrain

Under the old system it would either be fully one terrain or another

[glass flare]

Some of the tall mountain worlds they added a few years ago had huge mountains on one side and relatively flat on the other, but this definitely takes it to another level. But I'm more fascinated by the terrain on a moment-to-moment level

[gloomy isle]

They definitely feel like they have more distinctive regions now which is cool

I feel like there's a system for blending terrain styles similar to how the game bends continental and oceanic areas

[young quest]

Do we have more variety than pathfinder now

[uncut harness]

I want to say no but I'm not sure, I have like 800 pathfinder hours 😅

Only like 20 worlds 2 hours

Alot of the good pathfinder stuff you really had to look for, it's admittedly cherry picked

[young quest]

I’ve seen some worlds 2 screenshots that I think look better than pathfinder

[uncut harness]

Some look neat yeah

[glass flare]

the visual fidelity is such a big change between 1.x and Worlds, especially factoring in the water and clouds, that it's hard to be totally objective about it

[uncut harness]

The new factor and wow factor too yeah

I'm waiting to see some pathfinder like flat planets for myself some nice fields

[gloomy isle]

I found a planet which was almost entirely flat yesterday, aside from a very small number of mountains

And today I found the most rugged planet I've played on on any update 😂

The terrain below is actually that flat up close too

[uncut harness]

I've only explored a few purple stars they hard to find needs a update lol

[gloomy isle]

They should all say dissonant iirc

[next elk]

All purple systems will have am X or Y in their code

Like X7g or Y2j

Pretty easy way to ID them

[gloomy isle]

Here's a swampy jungle planet, I didn't know they could get gravity storms

[uncut harness]

I'm on switch so I gotta put it right next to my eye all to read letters everytime lol 😆

[gloomy isle]

Though that might be because it's dissonant

[uncut harness]

Eye ball *

[next elk]

Shipping you an electron microscope rn

That should help

[floral orbit]

hey guys I have an end game spoilers question: if I don't decide to reset the simulation instead of resetting it will I lose out on anything? like what's the different outcomes

[mighty palm]

What do i lose when i reset the universe

[uncut harness]

Nothing just yoyr stuff beeaka

Breaks

[gloomy isle]

Just make sure you have a base in euclid

[umbral smelt]

ngl, something i love about stellar multitudes is that it finally makes the whole "Making a new star" part of the release atlas path real

Well, as real as it can be in NMS's static universe

It's not just a text box anymore, you actually see an undiscovered star pop up and you can warp to it, rather than just having a text box

(open if you want to ruin the magic) ||The illusion only breaks in civilized space when your "new star" is already discovered, and thats rare||

[glass flare]

can other people visit the star you create? I figured it was something that was part of your local save data or something, because otherwise they have to save all those on their servers

[umbral smelt]

(open if you want to ruin the magic) ||Nope, the trick is that purple systems are just hidden before the quest||

[cunning warren]

Lol ive never seen that happen

I guess you can pretend it was a time anomaly or something idk

[umbral smelt]

(open if you want to ruin the magic) ||when you make a new star, nms finds a purple system matching what you want and simply unhides it. when you complete the mission, nms unhides all the purple stars @glass flare||

so nothing is created, uploaded, or saved. just unhidden

[glass flare]

hmm, but they would have to find one locally that matches the parameters you defined, no?

[umbral smelt]

(open if you want to ruin the magic) ||yeah, its just running the system |procedural generation on nearby purple stars, checking the output until it matches what you want||

||very clever trick||

[glass flare]

I kind of wish I didn't know how that particular sausage was being made, I thought they were legit creating a new star. 😢

[umbral smelt]

oh shoot im so sorry for ruining the magic 😭

[glass flare]

it's ok, I kind of brought it on myself by asking

[umbral smelt]

Nah, I should have asked if you wanted the magic to get ruined lol

[mighty palm]

how do i get back to the atlas after refusing it

[uncut harness]

I expected this but it's still disappointing to hear lol

[cunning warren]

I cried during NMS story i may be cooked😭

I did not expect it to be so good

[umbral smelt]

||i also expected it knowing what phantom stars are do it didnt phase me||

[uncut harness]

I've glitches into phantom and found shadow stars before, smart of them to repurpos them into purple stars

[umbral smelt]

the good news though is for the casual player it really feels like their actions literally modified the game, ||they do a really good job at hiding it||

[umbral smelt]

nms's main storyline + its background lore would unironically make such a good anime

[cunning warren]

I condemned null for telling me to no reset the universe then ended up not resetting it anyway

Whoops!

[umbral smelt]

heard someone say once that no mans sky is cosmic horror hidden behind an exploration and resource management interface

[cunning warren]

And the artemis choice was sad too but i chose not to upload them

[cunning warren]

Yeah pretty much

Knowing one day the universe and all of your existence will stop someday would be horrifying

And you don't know WHEN either just sometime

[mighty palm]

technically thats whatll happen

not in our lifetime

[umbral smelt]

its wild how this games fanbase just casually accepts "wow look at this base i made on a purple planet" and "-kzzzt- 16 // 16 // ERROR // 16 glassglassGLASS " at the same time

[mighty palm]

the current generation wont experience it

i now understand the 16 thing but what was glass

[cunning warren]

Yeah but knowing your whole life is simulation and is counting down to the end and theres nothing you can do about it

[umbral smelt]

canonically theres a "world of glass" that the sentinels live in, its like a realm of pure data

[cunning warren]

Even the creator of the simulation is scared and doesn't want to die alone😭

[somber knot]

quick minor question. are moons able to spawn all the same biomes as planets, ie can i get a water moon?

[umbral smelt]

and scarier: the glass is described as thirsty, but also will painlessly cut, so youll only realize the glass when your bodily fluids have been sucked out

[cunning warren]

Pretty sure yeah

[umbral smelt]

its mostly talked about in the ababdoned buildings lore and sentinel pillar lore

[cunning warren]

As far as i know moons can be any type besides like gas giants obviously

I do kinda feel bad for new players that see gas giants in the trailers then realize they have to do the entire main story to access them

And the autophage quests too

[umbral smelt]

the most fascinating part is also that canonically in real life the humans are just straight vibing with the next version of their ai that atlas helped design

[uncut harness]

My shadow star in elucid turned into a purple system, but the others the one in calypso I still can't portal top

Interesting

[umbral smelt]

so they just dumpstered atlas, a sentient and emotional being, like they got a new iphone

[cunning warren]

Thats so mean

[umbral smelt]

but also thats a certified moment

that is absolutely what we would do

[cunning warren]

Also nms universe can have simulations inside of its simulation which is literally just that one theory

Maybe the humans that created atlas are also in a simulation!😱

[umbral smelt]

have you read the boundary failure logs

[cunning warren]

Not yet

[umbral smelt]

it touches on that

[cunning warren]

I know some of them though

[umbral smelt]

canonically ur exosuit ai used to be atlas's sort of safety guard

and then they got yeeted into the traveller when they realized the atlas was dying

and then they have a massive mental breakdown as they start pondering if the entirety of existance is a daisy chain of simulations

the thing breaks the 4th wall halfway through and starts directly addressing the player like its doki doki literature club

[cunning warren]

Peak

[umbral smelt]

peam even

[hard stirrup]

Guys, there might be hope for gas giants with water deep enough. Found this comment in a youtube video about finding gas giants with water deep enough to catch the big fish. I don't know if he's telling the truth but I have to hope that he is...maybe it is possible to catch all legendary fish.

[glass flare]

yeah to be more precise, Atlas yeeted Telamon into the suit when it confronted Atlas on why it was being shady. Always seemed like a pretty badly-designed security protocol to me if the thing it was trying to watchguard could just rewrite its purpose

[mighty palm]

I just screwed over my entire run

[glass flare]

I think they probably just meant they found a non-gas giant planet. Those do exist, but are a bit rare. I've found a couple so far

[mighty palm]

You can't go back on a refusal

[cunning warren]

The titan ones?

[glass flare]

yup!

[mighty palm]

And i tried sending myself to the center of the galaxy with the service bot and nothings even working there

[cunning warren]

I don't think you really need to do it do you

[hard stirrup]

he says he went through a lot of gas giants so one would hope he knew the distinction.

[cunning warren]

Not resetting the universe seems like the good ending anyway!

[mighty palm]

Then how do I actually end this mission

New beginnings

How do I leave euclid

[glass flare]

I dunno I've never seen a gas giant with grass, but hey maybe they're out there

[hard stirrup]

I tried a non gas giant with water just to test but as expected non-gas giant oceans do not drop gas gas giant fish.

[mighty palm]

Anyway im 3000 into the galaxy and still not getting anywhere out of euclid

[uncut harness]

Water worlds seem rare I've found one lol

[mighty palm]

I'll have to try hopping tmrw

[uncut harness]

Just gotta spam purple stars for em

Gas giant it just straight up tells ya lol

[cunning warren]

I think not being able to progress would be an insane oversight so you're probably fine

[mighty palm]

But then how does one progress

[cunning warren]

Are titan planets purple only too

[glass flare]

I believe so

[cunning warren]

I mean you can do autophage quests after refusing to do the reset id just do that ig

[mighty palm]

Do that send me to the next galaxy

[cunning warren]

If you're just trying to get to the next galaxy you can just use the teleporter in the anomaly

Idk how to do it besides that tbh💀

Besides center of the galaxy blah blah blah

[hard stirrup]

Depends what galaxy you want to go to...there are 255 galaxies in the game. The featured bases are usuaaly in Euclid and Eissentam, maybe one of the other early galaxies if you are lucky. But typically no, you can't access the vast majority of galaxies from the Anomaly teleporter.

[outer cobalt]

NUTRIENT INGESTOR
All Products sorted by their values and a condensed list with just the top 3 per effect.

[fringe scarab]

I changed it i press it but i cant find where i was im so lost I wanted to see if I could go into save file and edit this but at avail , I have no ide what to do now I feel my save is broken 😭 and you cant abonden the mission either So I am softlocked

[glass flare]

I noticed in the Stellar Multitudes dialogue that during part of the computer stuff it said SIMULATION 19 when booting up the archived data. Isn't the current Atlas simulation 16, or am I thinking of loop16 from Waking Titan

[glass flare]

Okay I think they have definitely brought back 1.0 color palettes. Here is a planet I found in a purple system today:

And here is a planet I found in 1.0

[gloomy isle]

I'm 110% sure almost exactly this planet can be found today in purple systems

I'm sure there's something going on with the colour palettes too in terms of the mist/ sky

I've seen some combos that were wild

Both awesome and eyesores which I'd never spotted in any other system 😂

[analog breach]

Captain steve found planet with snake like terrain structures like from old, one of the first trailers. So def HG is adding some old stuff back.

[gloomy isle]

I found one with bits of snakes but they were mostly buried

I'm pretty certain planets use blends of terrain types now instead of just one

[real sapphire]

I'm starting to think what are the relation of 19 in NMS lore now, we had 16 and its pretty much established, but now
