i'll likely become more and more curious if more "19" drops

but the purple star story mentioned "timeline", which might means an alternate universe

16
19

Inverting 6 becomes 9

[gloomy isle]

Given the void mother is returning through the purple stars, and they're reconstructions ancient systems, I'm thinking they might be from when there were 19 minutes left

[analog breach]

U can say 19 is mirrored 16. We have mirrors and glass

[real sapphire]

Glass, Mirror, Alternate dimensions...

paradox

recent years i have been fed with paradox from other games too lol...

[crimson shard]

Ooooo that's how it works, so each food have buff benefit other than consuming 👀 So my guess cooked food means better buff and duration ✨️

Btw, I finally found all ruined structures schematics from collecting from a Memory Stone on a Ruined Planet ✨️✨️✨️ Btw, noting once you have all or nearly all, you'll have higher chance to get Nanites for like 150 aprox 👌 This amount looks nice and for those who wants to farm easy Nanites 👀 You might find a possible chance in one spot for 2 or 3 stones 🙌

Also, Ruined Planet was found on a Abandon or Undiscovered System, well there were no Space Station 🤔

[grizzled apex]

its likely more of a reference to the simulation's timeline of events, since Paroi Major (a prerelease system) is name dropped at a timestamp of 0,016.A

[real sapphire]

i see, love how they reference pre-release planets/systems

one of them that i immediately know is Soleth Prime, when you talk to Mercury in anomaly

[gloomy isle]

Has anything interesting been datamined? Only things I've seen are corvettes and the fossil stuff

[grizzled apex]

There's an unused Atlas Gate space encounter which looks like it'd have been used during the new quest. Still checking other changed files...

[gloomy isle]

That's pretty cool, I wonder what it would have been used for

BTW, in terms of the new terrain system, is there any indication as to what it's doing? I've seen that several terrain types got datamined but I'm noticing that it seems to be blending several instead of just having one for the full planet

[astral zealot]

quest was kinda fucked up imagine someone just sideloading random shit into your brain

[icy citrus]

They just upped the exp time, can you see the new end date?

[grizzled apex]

The new end time is <t:1739354400>

[icy citrus]

Excellent thank you

[grizzled apex]

Still no update on the start date for the Titan expedition btw

[willow stirrup]

Best guess will be after Cursed is finished. If they extended Cursed for a week, Titan will likely be delayed at least that long

[native carbon]

i love hello games, they just keep surprising us

[wet copper]

I don't know them personally but Sean Murray gives me the willies. It's rare to find a programmer that is both that skilled and passionate about a single project for so long.

The passion usually burns out for one project and seeks a new one...but this one is just burning brighter with new ideas

It's like someone gave Tesla the patents first.

[uncut harness]

Stardew vally and hello games are the craziest dev cycles I've seen

[native frost]

the forbuidden fruit

[glass flare]

Well to be fair, though he did code the updates to the terrain engine in Pt. 2, I imagine Sean has been mostly doing management work the past few years, especially getting Light No Fire off the ground. I did a little research last year and the majority of the people in the original credits are no longer at HG. Sean getting to do some other things here and there probably saved him from burnout

[grizzled apex]

Hmm... so I was messing around with a few new properties added to GcSpaceshipComponentData, and one of them,Buildable , when set to true, lets one build the base parts marked as BuildableInShip anywhere near the starship itself. Probably meant for the Corvettes, but its interesting since the SpaceShipComponent is only used for mobile starships, not freighters...

[glass flare]

interesting find! I guess the Corvettes are a bit bigger than I imagined

[analog breach]

The " fish fins" are little off from general design and dont blend well with the rest imo.

[native frost]

I'm not the biggest fan of it tbh

I'll collect it and put it into cold storage regardless

But it's not my favourite

[gloomy isle]

It's kinda shaping up like something a lot of people have wanted for a while ngl

The name implies it's smaller than a frigate, which might indicate it's flyable or something

[grizzled apex]

oh my god...

the base parts I build under this forced setting stay attached to my starship...

[gloomy isle]

Holy shit so it is large ships with interiors

That's kinda crazy

[grizzled apex]

There's definitely collision issues, but whatever you build inside this "ship base" flies along side your actual ship

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if they'll use freighter parts or their own stuff

I could see a mobile base being super useful for lots of stuff

[grizzled apex]

currently all base parts have the BuildableInShip property set to true (includng legacy parts) which im pretty sure is just a placeholder. probably will inherit freighter base parts or their own unique set?

[analog breach]

I can already see " pilotable frigates" builded by community xd

[grizzled apex]

i kinda wonder if i can disable the ship model / collision for an existing class, throw on this ship base bit and already have flying bases haha

[gloomy isle]

That makes sense. I'm guessing it'll work like freighters too in that they might have a proc gen exterior and a buildable area near the cockpit/ bridge

My unlikely hope is that we get the elevators that were in the files 😂😂

[compact coyote]

Corvettes sound awesome. Maybe it’s a multi crew ship with living space?

[glass flare]

I can see the use case for multiplayer, but for SP I can't really say I've needed a mobile base. Feels like it would be cheating a bit

[gloomy isle]

I guess it's just a freighter that sacrifices size for convenience

[glass flare]

If it's let's say half the size of a frigate, it's going to be tough to find somewhere to land

[gloomy isle]

In the files it apparently has a hangar

So I wouldn't be surprised if it can't actually land

[glass flare]

hm yeah maybe it will hover in atmosphere

[gloomy isle]

I like the idea of having a space motorhome with room for a couple ships and some decorations/ crafting stuff ngl

Though I do think I'd just not use my freighter again

I'm still super curious about how this new terrain is done ngl

[grizzled apex]

did a quick recording of some tests here:
https://youtu.be/pMVY9Xd64tg

Definitely very borked haha

Excuse my awful building skills btw 😅

[red sun]

that's really cool

gonna build myself the Normandy from Mass Effect 🔥

[gloomy isle]

I wonder what would happen if someone were to stand on the base area 😂

[grizzled apex]

The game surprisingly does generate collision for the separate parts whenever the ship's landed. No clue how far far it'd send someone flying if they were standing on it though haha

[analog breach]

Only one way to find out

[gloomy isle]

Got feeling they might have to implement passenger seats 😂😂😂

[grizzled apex]

I flew into the anomaly with this thing to see if people could see / react to it, but I forgot console doesn't have chat enabled, and most people on the anomaly don't type stuff out publicly 😅

[analog breach]

Imo easyer would be implement follow player ship than multicrew ships. Simliar to squadorm that follows u and the RDR horse follow mechanics.

[analog breach]

Yeah. Sad. Txt chat would be really nice.

[grizzled apex]

I could imagine this being a space RV of sorts, a portable base you can fly into a planet and then walk around in before dropping down.

If HG somehow figure out how to let us walk inside them while the ship moves that'd be insane, but I wouldn't get my hopes up

[mental socket]

Would be nice to finally have moving freighters too

Interesting stuff indeed

[gloomy isle]

It would make sense, I feel like that sort of thing would be really at home in NMS, and way more convenient for refining and crafting than a freighter

It would probably also come off as as close as the game will have to a buyable player house considering the likely size

[fervent fern]

Like... the possibilities this may open are awesome. But the video is hilarious lmao

[grizzled apex]

Its gonna be funnier if HG do flesh this feature out and everyone's reaction to the trailer is pure awe. Knowing how broken it was at this point might be a funny contrast

Kinda makes me wish HG'd post more in-dev clips of weird bugs along the dev process haha

[glass flare]

Imagine Corvettes being used as a boarding party ship for enemy freighters. I hope you'll be able to hire NPC crew though, otherwise I'll be flying a big empty ship

[fervent fern]

💯 . But I understand why they might not want to do it.
Release time memories may still haunt some of the team I guess lol.

[gloomy isle]

Come to think of it, I wonder how big they'll actually be on the inside

It could be anything from a house upwards tbh

I think I'd honestly prefer it to be small and cozy but ig I could just build it like that

[glass flare]

One thing on the dev process I'd like to understand is their rationale for building fully explorable interiors for frigates, when there's almost nothing to do in them

So I hope for Corvettes there's actually gameplay reasons for them to exist beyond "players wanted a mobile base"

[compact coyote]

What kind of rooms do you think corvettes will have? We already know of a hangar? Cockpit for sure, maybe crew quarters?

#NoMansSkySpoilers Worlds Part II added a few new properties to structs related to normal starships. One of these, when enabled, not only allows one to build near their starship like a base, but makes said base parts a PART of your starship.

-# 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.

What's the best way to find a forest planet?

Just the same for paradise planets?

I just reseted the simulation. Now I get four different galaxies to choose from. It's between an inspiring galaxy and a rebuild galaxy. Which one would you recommend?

[outer cobalt]

Reminds me of those elevators they once attempted, to end up making a teleport instead. You are prolly right about that being too much to ask for. 🙄

[rotund warren]

so i just reached the end of i think the atlas quest and its asking for me to "present D 3 options, can anyone explain to me what they are? i dont want to mess this up

some planet a flora fauna option

[uncut harness]

I'd love elevators in NMS WTF

[solid gale]

Does anyone when expedition which unlock this ship would be released?

[icy citrus]

Yes, the next one Titan

We don't know the start date

[solid gale]

Would it be released after current expedition?

[icy citrus]

It will be an expedition reward

No idea if it will be available outside of that

[pliant aurora]

Im really curious as to what the ship will look like to make this work out if it ends up coming out lol

[glass flare]

I saw a streamer had hacked their game to use the Wraith, it looked a bit silly to me with tentacles dangling behind it, but if you like the organic ship stuff you'll probably like it

[void reef]

What galaxy color has more chances of it being a floating island?

[glass flare]

Do the relic buildable pieces conform to the biome you use them in? I found this grassy relic planet and it took on the palette and the biome flavor (plants hanging from it), as opposed to the more plain-looking relics I've seen before

[open gate]

first time seeing a gas giant in game and well....it's absolutely terrifying

i haven't felt a chill like that down my spine in a while to be honest, not too sure why it felt so imposing looking at

[compact coyote]

I don’t get this notion that you can only see purple systems after you finish everything, I’ve already stumbled upon 3 of them and I haven’t completed the things yet

[uncut harness]

Oo…I can’t wait

[rich helm]

I guess this counts as a spoiler, anyone got the ship from expedition 16 yet?

[compact coyote]

Hey so I just finished the main story. What do I have to do next

[uncut harness]

Atlas path too and the robot quests

Echoes content

[jolly gust]

The red systems kinda look purple

[placid latch]

Is it possible to create a planet for the new quest the game can’t generate? I think I may have screwed up I’m on jump number 30 or something. I picked unmapped, water horror does that change anything?

[grizzled apex]

The game doesn't create any new stars after that sequence. It just takes your selected options, creates a scan event to find a purple system with your selected options, and then shows you the way to a system that has them. Try a few more times after warping to a new region?

[placid latch]

You mean like use a portal to jump to a whole nother region and try again? Will do, ty

[mighty palm]

This game has such a trippy vibe

[gloomy isle]

Hello everyone in ruined planets how many ruined decoration relics can we find?

[rancid flax]

yep i had this exact problem too

the dialogue closes and the game basically freezes up

it should be fixeed since the latest update

[analog breach]

So uncharted purple always will have robot fauna in them? Found 2nd system that has only them.

[native carbon]

All of uncharted systems have robotic fauna now, hope its a glitch

[analog breach]

Intresting. Shame that robo fauna has little variety.

[hard tapir]

Okay, I have a dillema here: atlas is dying, which choice is best:

-seek final interface
-complete atlas path
-explore the galaxy

Taking in mind I don't want to start all over again

Which one is best option?

[uncut quest]

is it the purge quest?

not sure if that matters tbh

btw, guys, how do I unlock autphage looks?

finished "they who returned"

[icy citrus]

Late, but nothing makes you start over again (besides dying in perma)

I'd finish both those top missions

[late tusk]

i really hope this is just a peek into how they are adding new living ship parts and introducing making our own

[fluid valley]

We have more information on corvette type ships?

[gloomy isle]

After nearly a week of purple systems it still feels like I'm scratching the surface ngl

The terrain system to me has fundamentally improved the variety and interest of planets

And it feels like we've reached a critical mass of biomes where you can go hours without seeing a repeat sometimes

[dire oasis]

Hi does resetting my universe mean I lose my base?

[uncut harness]

Nah back in the day it didn't let you go back but that's long gone

Your tech breaks that's it just store it in your inventory

Ok I did the reset so where do I find the hear of the sun

[uncut harness]

Atlas quest

Go to stations craft the balls

[spice gorge]

Where are we told that its a simulation and there are 16 mins left? I hear people talking about it, but don't recall ever being told that.

I have done all of the quests, now that after 4,500 hrs + I finally did the Atlas Quest to get to the new content (in 41 mins!). I assumed the Atlas Quest was where we were told that - but I was not told that. And I don't remember that being part of Artemis.

Where is that said?

[grizzled apex]

The end of the main Artemis Path

[spice gorge]

Hm

I don't remember that part. And I did the Artemis path twice. The second half of it anyway.

Huh.

That was back in 2017, though.

So, it's been a while.

[fervent fern]

Quest quite possibly changed since then

...at least to some extent

[rotund warren]

thats exactly what i saw yesterday

started over recently

also once you activate the last portal you see

I think the Remembrance logs might mention 16 as well, but I'd have to go look

57 systems no corrupted planets 😦

[rotund warren]

was searching for a planet with corrupted sentinels and never found it

[native carbon]

look out for dissonant systems

[rotund warren]

I went to over 70 of them, I counted when I uploaded , not a single one had the sentinels, I even tried two different galaxies and 8 different black hole sectors, even went to the center and tried there as well In the end I ended up giving up and gave myself the echo locator via a save editor even tho I really didn't want to cheat like that. Just only have 3 hours a day to play games and I spent the three hours jumping and looking to no avail 😦

[real sapphire]

@ivory mirage hiya, well those 3 requires an input

[ivory mirage]

Hi

Does which one i pick matter?

[real sapphire]

All a, b and y needs an input. It basically ask you to choose the purple star planet you want to visit first.

As you move on to the story, ||you will be able to see all purple star systems||

[ivory mirage]

Oh ok, thanks

I will go with y then

Wait there are more choices

“Storm” “Horror” and “Hunted”

[real sapphire]

As i said, all requires an input

[ivory mirage]

Ok

Thank you!

[real sapphire]

Enjoy the story!

[ivory mirage]

I will!

[neon oasis]

Question about the main story progression: I've just progressed to the part in the story where it says ||"Seek the Final Interface, Complete the Atlas Path, or Explore the Galaxy".|| Which one do I choose if I want to continue the questline?

[uncut harness]

Either or, but yoy want to finish the atlas path too

That question don't really mean nun

[proper crest]

Does anyone know how many new ||Atlas words|| they added? Recently discovered that my save, where I only had ||32 words remaining to reveal, I think||, now is revealing ||words|| not listed in the wiki when I interact with ||a monolith||, while the ||32 words I had remaining to unlock are not being unlocked||.

[icy citrus]

Haven't seen anyone mention it, let me know if you find out

[proper crest]

I can say that, unless these locked ||words|| are glitches, there are at least ||258||. Which isn't a big increase from the known, but I have at least ||5 words|| that aren't in the wiki, so it's probably more than that. Though... the wiki does say that there are ||at least 261|| but only seems to list ||220-222||. Unless there's a better wiki than the Fandom one? I know a bunch of places have been trying to veer away from Fandom.

So maybe they were added back in Worlds I, and I just didn't know (since I haven't played much recently).

Aha! I've reached a point where my ||previously locked 32 has become 31.|| So... Probably ||262 words total||.

[vestal vault]

What s teh reqriemetns for the invisible systems or somme thuff

i know itis the artems story, armphomagge

(reply with a ping os i see)

[fluid flame]

the atlantid speaking directly to you my jaw is on the FLOOR

[proper crest]

Yup. ||Atlas Communications Fully Mapped||. With ||262 words||. I think I can finally start ||The Atlas Path|| now.

Do these ||new purple systems|| only show up if you do the ||new quest||?

[covert wind]

awesome ty! right now im just using stuff i unlocked from expeditions

its the head with the scanner visor and no clothes or anything

Yes they do

Unless you do modding, save editing or other tricks

[fluid barn]

Major(?) storyline spoiler.

||A worm coming to the realization that they are a simulation||

[native carbon]

Is it really a simulation if you have friends and buds to talk to?

[merry estuary]

Yes, that changes nothing

[gloomy isle]

Tbf being in a simulation doesn't change anything either

Unless it's dying

[icy citrus]

https://youtu.be/pMVY9Xd64tg

[icy citrus]

Awesome, thank you

[gloomy isle]

If corvettes really do end up being small mobile bases as it looks here, that would make loads of sense coming from worlds part 2 ngl

There's so much variety now that a mobile home type setup would be a no brainer

[icy citrus]

Will be fun to see how this goes

[native carbon]

I mean like imagine if our world is a simulation, would you stop living then?

[merry estuary]

If I was living before, I'd keep living, and if not, I never did. Discovering something changes nothing, I don't know what you're trying to say

[native carbon]

Okay, you just realised that the entire universe is a simulation, would you still live the way you did before or just give up

[merry estuary]

I'd probably try and find a way to either get out of it, or manipulate it to my wishes.

[native carbon]

Yup

[icy citrus]

The space nomad in me wants this so much, freighters are neat but I only park them (I don't want to fly them around systems, personally) so this would be soooo tasty

[molten karma]

I get lore reasons but I wish not all purple systems were dissonance. I sometimes find a really good planet and it's ruined by the stupid crystals and purple effects.

[analog breach]

I wonder if we will get the oposite of disonance systems. Harmonic systems.

[glass flare]

ehh we already have freighter bases for that. I'm going to need to see more gameplay enhancements from corvettes for them to feel needed. right now it just feels akin to adding another exocraft when we've already got plenty

[astral surge]

Fleets could use more fleshing out but freighter vases are fine where they are

[twilit ruin]

I would love to see the freighters tweaked up, including better multiplayer interactions such as having multiple freighters visible in any given system that allow random people onto them to look around (optional).

[glass flare]

What doesn't make sense to me is why purple systems have the crystals at all. The purple systems are supposed to be a rebirth of Void Mother. If memory serves the crystals were only being extracted by the Sentinels as part of a plan to bring her back. That's not really necessary when she IS back, at least in the purple systems.

[analog breach]

Maybe she is not back. YET

[glass flare]

well she spoke to us at the end of the story

[analog breach]

She spoke to us earlier o think.

[gloomy isle]

I think creating the purple systems was basically her manifesting back into the galaxy through memory

When the first purple star gets created, we're told that she's breached through

[indigo smelt]

How different are purple systems depending on galaxy? Does Eissentam still have gas giants and ocean worlds in purple systems?

[uncut harness]

Yah i did the quest in calypso

Just adds em as regular stars

I had one shadow star robbed from me and turn into a purple star very not ok

[indigo smelt]

I figured HG removes systems, but I thought that only applied to not uploaded systems.

[glass flare]

well shadow stars are unoffical "bugs" so... i'm not surprised they would be up for reuse

[indigo smelt]

Wait, what are shadow stars?

The wiki mentions a discrepancy between the portal network and hyperdrive access?

[icy citrus]

Stars we can't reach via normal mechanics

There are many

And what they used for purples

[gloomy isle]

It's cool because they also incorporated this into the lore of purple stars

They've always been there but in inaccessible space

[mellow bane]

What happens if I choose yes

[uncut harness]

Choices don't actually matter till the final two choices dw

[mellow bane]

Ah ok thank you

[tribal saffron]

What do I need to do to get the Autophage mission?

[uncut harness]

Finish main story and do a interceptor camp

[tribal saffron]

The only main missions I have left, is The Space Anomaly mission and New Beginnings.

[uncut harness]

And Atlas missions

[tribal saffron]

Finish the Atlas missions

Do I need to complete the Space Anomaly missions also?

[indigo smelt]

Artemis? Yes.

[tribal saffron]

So, I need to start an expedition?

[indigo smelt]

No, that is not neccesary.

[uncut harness]

Atlas space station craft all the orbs

10 or so

[tribal saffron]

I have reseted the galaxy. Some with that part.

[indigo smelt]

Did they change the requirements for autophage? When autophage came out, I could do with only finishing the Artemis questline. However, you will need to finish the Atlas missions to do the recently introduced "In Stellar Multitudes" questline. So you end up needing to do Atlas regardless.

[tribal saffron]

I'm stuck with. The Space Anomaly mission: Explore The New Reality.

[indigo smelt]

Oh, then you're good with space anomaly/Artemis.

[tribal saffron]

It says I need to purchase Technology Blueprints or new Base Parts aboard the Anomaly.

But I did. What more do I need to do?

[indigo smelt]

Nah, that is a popup unrelated to quests.

[tribal saffron]

Then I don't understand why I don't have Autophage mission.

[uncut harness]

Do Atlas quest

[tribal saffron]

I also finished A Trace of Metal which I heard is required to start the Autophage.

[uncut harness]

And a interceptor camp

[tribal saffron]

@uncut harness I'm finish with the Atlas.

[indigo smelt]

You need to locate a harmonic camp on a dissonant planet.

[tribal saffron]

But isn't that the Autophage mission?

[indigo smelt]

You can travel around the planet(harder) or use echo locators dropped from destroying dissonance resonators(easier, involves some combat). This is required to unlock "They Who Returned."

[tribal saffron]

Well, I can go to a dissonant system and see if something happens. 😊

Thank you for the help. I try that. 😊

[indigo smelt]

Note that you may need to warp to another system anywhere after you did everything with the harmonic camp.

[neon oasis]

Question about the Worlds Part 2 thing: When I'm doing the Memories of Atlantid and it's asking me to select my lifeform, primary and secondary celestial body, which one should I pick? ?

[analog breach]

The one u like

[neon oasis]

I don't know what they are lol

i've never seen them before

[glass flare]

"celestial body" refers to a planet, so...make your choices based on what you want them to be like

[frigid valley]

Diologue with Nada in abandoned mode, the character seems to recognise the anomaly and Nada and wonders if it was once a home or just another Void

[drifting bronze]

How tf do I get the new star metal?

[grizzled apex]

oh, they just reused Adrift's dialogue?

hmm, I haven't gotten to the anomaly on abandoned yet, wonder how you'd unlock purple star systems in that mode

And in a more lore sense, do the Autophage still exist if we can't detect them?

[frigid valley]

they reused a whole bunch more, seems like. signal booster needs surge batteries and there is no where to get the recipe from

The whole mode feels like copy pasted Adrift with phases and milestones stripped and Utipia exosuit/ship/multitool/exocraft terminals added

[grizzled apex]

Ah... A quick ship feature instead of something they planned out in advance.

I'm sure they'll be updating it throughout the year with QOL to make it more compatible with the main game, but I wonder where they draw the boundary B/w essential feature, and a characteristic omission for Abandoned mode..

[frigid valley]

no way to detect them and no way to get blueprints for polyphonic core

and purple systems aren't visible nor is there any way to get purple drive

[grizzled apex]

Yep, thats what really triggered my lore sense. I know the game won't generate Autophage in this gamemode bcz of how npc spawning works, but It would be cool if they later on reveal the Autophage to, in this universe, have gone voluntarily into hiding from whatever killed off the dominant races.

There's so much they could do with this alternate universe lore and feature wise, and I hope they considered that when making this a gamemode

[grizzled apex]

No way to get a freighter either is there? I'm guessing Corvettes may help solve that issue if you can find them crashed (if they do make it to release), or if those might have similar spawns to freighters...

[frigid valley]

system freighters don't spawn and it felt so tedious, no way to get upgrade modules (maybe scavenged from crashed ships and found multitools, but none for exosuit except for random C classes from damaged machinery) or expand inventory and I didn't make it past the required playtime and warp jumps for a battle

I assume battles wont spawn tho

minor settlements still spawn multitool cabinets, but bc all space stations have abandoned station layout there is no NPC to buy charts from. Signal booster needs surge batteries so the only way to reliably mark structures would be to get exocraft

imo: mode would need revised technology and craftable products trees or buildable terminals that serve the same functions as their normal mode equivalents

[uncut harness]

I think the mode was just tossed in as a Easter egg because they already made it for adrift

Surface level reasoning was likely used, "eh may as well"

When you lost new features a new mode is a impressive thing to add to the list too

[grizzled apex]

I don't think they expected the response people had to Adrift and tried to cater to everyone who liked it, but didn't think through how a short-form expedition would work as a full game mode

[uncut harness]

They tried abit. Starting with a terrain manipulator and hyperdrive was nice

[frigid valley]

that's just skipping tutorial

if you select "skip tutorial" when creating a custom save you start with a terrain manupulator and hyperdrive

[uncut harness]

Ah nvm then I only play survival and pd so wasn't aware

[fluid barn]

I finally found a dissonant world, and I just went around and collected a few sentinel ships and holy crap

The C Class ships scrap for quite a bit

And my first sentinel ship was an S class, I am supremely happy with that

[lone pivot]

Hi, I have a spoiler question...I started playing in 10/24, so about 3 1/2 months in now, 600 hours. I have basically maxed out and did all the expeditions from then til now 1 every 2 weeks, etc. I have max units, dreadnought and 30 frigates, maxed settlement etc. but I never finished the main quest...now I saw that I need to finish it quickly to do the purple system unlock quest, or I might miss the new Worlds 2 expedition coming up? How should I finish 16/16 to keep everything I have? I can only find old spoiler Reddit threads on it and they say I might lose everything but my current ship. Will I really lose freighter, settlement, dozens of bases, discoveries, etc?
Is there anything at all that will get messed up if I go to Eissentam, should I refuse to reset the Atlas?

[glass flare]

you don't need to go to another galaxy to finish the Atlas Path, you can simply turn down the offer when you're given the choice

[grizzled apex]

The titan expedition will not require you to have unlocked purple star systems on any other save btw, they added a special flag just to enable purple systems for expeditions going forth, and they usually use these in the immediately next expedition to follow

[runic parcel]

The conversation probably went "Hey wouldn't it make sense if adrift was like, its own universe population?" "Look, we don't have time we've added freaking gas giants mate I am honestly tired of progr-" "I'm adding it anyway"

[grizzled apex]

You might not be too far off haha. I think they've mentioned that different team members work on different features depending on what they find interesting.

[runic parcel]

Maybe instead it was "Wait, you already released the update? Hold on I might have forgot to let you get surge battery-"

[warped trellis]

what is the deepest ocean you found since the update?

[analog breach]

Pepole say around 1500

[native carbon]

1405

[analog breach]

My record is 1450.

[frigid valley]

Almost 1500u

I found a ruin there that was on the bedrock, chests were under indestructible terrain

[gusty stream]

Dayummm

[simple notch]

I completed the quest for the purple systems and now curious what the difference is between the choices for the first purple system creation. Anyone figure it out? Also is the first system supposed to be empty of NPCs? I chose one option but did a change to make it a race instead of what I think was for an empty one but it had no NPCs. Wasn't sure if I hit a bug but also curious what difference the choices made.

Reading a bit back it just seems it's mostly just to set you in a system that matches and nothing more. Curious if it was supposed to be empty. There were creatures and sentinels, just no NPCs.

[uncut harness]

what does titan, flood, paradise do ?

[analog breach]

U chose what planet u want game to "create" but in reality game finds one that matches your criteria.

[uncut harness]

is paradise just a normal paradise planet

[analog breach]

It will be simliar with normal + maybe all the things that can be find from purple systems.

Atlas foundation ?? Is this a hint towards ARG ?

[gusty stream]

Wth

Hasn't this decal been unused in the game for a long time??

[compact coyote]

Woah! That’s new? I wonder why they’d add it now?

That’s nostalgic as hell

[glass flare]

maybe Void Mother is Emily after all

[compact coyote]

Bro I remember watching her sacrifice herself live 😭😭

That was crazy

[glass flare]

is it just coincidence that the new expedition is called "Titan" 🤔

[compact coyote]

Oh shoot, I just made that connection.

[glass flare]

I'm not sure why they call the big planets "Titanic" outside of the game, but in-game they're called Giants

[uncut harness]

Probably to tie in with the staff

[glass flare]

maybe, I would assume they named the staff after the planets, not vice versa though

btw has anyone found a "jungle" biome yet?

[uncut harness]

Not yet I've seen some on Reddit tho

[upper void]

Well finally getting to the end of my first playthrough of the story

and these choices are like lowkey fucked up

[gloomy isle]

It's because it's the logo of Etarc

A lot of these banners represent community groups, and etarc from WT is still going with that as its logo

<: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.

[umbral smelt]

Okay if exp 17 is making waking titan CANON i gotta play it

the lore....i need the loooree

in general i hope hg actually definitively makes waking titan canon rather than that weird fanficcy arg side project

[compact coyote]

Beoooo imagine if they drop some WT lore in that expedition

Imagine if they bring waking titan back 😭😭😭

[sour fossil]

Honestly I doubt the next exped will be lore related

More like exploration of new giant / titanic planets

[grizzled apex]

there's no lore text entries for exped 17

its just a tour of the new planet types HG put together to show off the new features for any new incoming players

and im pretty sure waking titan is in some capacity canon? S1's ending letter from Sean basically said that we'd "become part of No Man's Sky's origin story"

[plain thicket]

Unfortunately looking like that's not the case for the expedition, but I have been waiting for Hello Games to at least make a few more references to Waking Titan within any future updates.

[bright grove]

The reason the Remembrance terminals hit hard for me is that throughout the lore we see the Atlas as a nearly omnipotent and unfeeling all-powerful entity that has begun to decay in a manner similar to Alzheimer's. Rememberance flips that. We see it interacting with its creator in a somewhat child like manner. We see it being abandoned and asking for a token to remember its creator by. We see it having enough sentience and self-awareness to realize it is dying and becoming scared, creating repeated iterations of its now-corrupted memory of its creator in order to comfort itself. In the final entry we see the "future" where the creator possibly returns, but we are left unsure if it is a true prediction based on available data by an AI capable of extrapolating universes, a gross miscalculation based off of decaying logic, or the hopeful imaginings of a someone scared of dying alone.

It feels real and organic. I can empathyze with it.

And Rememberance makes earlier interactions different too.

Like "Why does the Atlas need my permission to reset?"

Once you realize you are its creator, the subtext of the question becomes "Is it Ok to die? Is there something after?"

[plain thicket]

YESSSS, thank you so much for putting that into words, because that is effectively the same reasons as to why I empathise so deeply with ATLAS, especially after you've played the main storylines, read other peices of lore, and come across the rogue data terminals in the most random of locations. It feels quiet, and real for those moments you read through the remembrance, and it hurts. You can understand and feel the deep sense of genuine confusion, fear, uncertainty and loneliness ATLAS has been dealing with for an incomprehensibly extended peroid of time, courtesy of the logs. It provides something tangible and moving in the way ATLAS's interactions with their creator are described, but ultimately, having been operational for as long as they have, inevitable system failures sprouting within itself and its simulation only worsen. I think the part that really sticks out to me the most is the last log about that possible future, and you're right, I believe it's left ambiguous as to whether or not this is a logical prediction based on what knowledge the ATLAS can collate into something that makes sense as its system begins to fail, or if the machine with a soul is merely reaching its metaphorical cabled hands into the abyss on a notion of fading hope that one day, they'll be with their creator once more, and in these final moments, they'll no longer be alone. It seriously hurts, but profuesly, beautifully so.

[plain thicket]

Exactly. And we as the player Anomaly are the last core entity it has that connects it with its creator, so in having us be the one that ultimately decides for the ATLAS goes to show just how important and tragic of an impact this longing for reconnection has had on ATLAS' supercomputer equivalent of a psyche, which in of itself, constitutes a primary aspect of who and what it is by nature.

[bright grove]

The other thing that makes it beautiful is how simple and understated it is. They don't beat the player over the head with it or force it down your throat. I've had friends that played and read them, but never thought deep enough about it to really click.

[plain thicket]

Oh absolutely, that's why I simply adore No Man's Sky. There's something exquisite in the simultaneous simplicity within complexity of ATLAS' story and character arc throughout the game's lore as a whole. Something I've always found is that I connect a lot with characters like that, especially if I have to dig deep, contemplate and truly soak in every beautifully nuanced essence that ultimately tells a story that one has to really sit with and feel in its entirety to appreciate its emotional depth. The sad thing is, I feel like just as a general statement, empathy overall is in of itself becoming few and far between, so stories like this are sometimes lost in their wholeness to people who only veiw them at surface level. At least, that's what I've found from friends of mine who have played though the story, read the lore, and never really felt the same about it as I thought they may have.

If you do not mind, may I send you something?

[bright grove]

Sure

[bright grove]

I don't know if empathy is diminishing, I think its more people don't engage as deeply, they float the surface of stories and lore rather than pausing to think and consider them and read between the lines.

[plain thicket]

Not so much that it is diminishing per se, but you are correct in stating that it's because people aren't actively engaging with their emotions, especially in the context of media such as this.

Environmental and contextual factors obviously play a huge part in that.

[bright grove]

Mmhmm. It's also why I like Malazan Book of The Fallen. Lots of real deep thinking messages among the story.

[tribal saffron]

When I destroyed Dissonance Resonator. I got one Echo Locator, but then I don't see it in my inventory.

[bright grove]

Did you check starship and freighter?

[tribal saffron]

It's not there either. But I saw Echo Locator popped up on the screen when I destroyed the Reconator.

[tribal saffron]

I found the Echo Locator. I had to expand the cargo in my inventory. I have 2. 😊

[indigo patrol]

question. are there also new bioms on remaining systems?

[cloud jolt]

@clever ember
-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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

❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, it is recommended to take a moment to store installed tech/modules on exosuit, active ship and multit-tool tech inventories (or swap to secondary ship and multi-tool you don't care about, only do it for exosuit).

Note: If the player hasn't completed The Atlas Path yet in this save, it is suggested to do so now, since The Purge will keep registering progress even if it's not the selected mission.

[mental socket]

forest and desert biomes did get new assets and stuff afaik

there's now jungles

with thicc forests and stuff

[indigo patrol]

sweet, hopefully there is more to come tho. like vulcano bioms or unnormal ones

[open rivet]

@frozen imp Okay, so I assume you got the idea that the wiki says the best choice is to walk away, from the page for Mark of the Denier? Because the wiki page for The Atlas Path doesn't actually give a recommendation at all

If you did get it from the aforementioned page, then it's saying that if you want Mark of the Denier, you have to remain firm in your decision to walk away - if you reconsider when given the option, you won't get it

[frozen imp]

What does the Mark of the Denier do, and what does the Star Seed do?

[fervent fern]

I guess being end-game stuff this is more suited to this channel, so... I just visited my first water world. It was around 1500us deep.
Not a single piece of land in sight. I didn't know I needed this lol. Liked so much I'll probably work on a base there.

Heck, that planet got me using the nautilon. I never use that thing

[simple notch]

There already are planets covered with volcanos but maybe you mean something different.

[fervent fern]

The volcanos could use some work I guess
With all due respect to HG, after all these updates they still look like something from Oblivion lol.

[glass flare]

without flowing liquid simulation and the ability to create volcanos with the terrain system itself, they're always going to look fake sadly

This is the spoilers channel, you don't need to mark things as spoilers here

I don't remember the spaceship Autophage that we meet in Pt 2 questline existing prior to the this update, so I'm not sure what you mean

Unless you're referring to some different metal ball

isn't that one of those space encounters

oh, that's from the Singularity expedition

[fervent fern]

I mean... yes. But the actual model is bad. 😅
Some more detailing, better shape, new materials, clever use of normal maps and such... don't know. I think it coud look better lol.

It's an asset right now I think; it could be improved theoretically

[glass flare]

Okay yeah this was added in Orbital as a random encounter. But nothing I see in the dialogue points to it saying the ship itself is Void Mother. It's more like this is another Autophage ship https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Fragment_of_a_New_Atlantid

[indigo patrol]

i mean that they need more different assets. also eventually rivers (in general) and lava rivers for vulcano planets

[uncut harness]

Soo can someone explain me "sentinel" lore ?

[dull verge]

Ancient police drones, basically. They provide security for "legitimate" space stations and surface installations, and enforce planet-wide restrictions on "unauthorized" mining and hunting (it is not clear how one acquires the right to build a planetary harvester, but if you get it then the Sentinels will actually run security for the place). Some planets are restricted on a level where the Sentinels will attack you on sight, and while the Sentinels do have space forces, those are mostly to deter attacks on space stations. They mostly get around by using an ancient alien portal network.

The Korvax revere the sentinels as "angels" of the Atlas, whom they worship as a god. The Vy'keen fought a war against the Sentinels in ancient times (and nearly won before the Gek attacked them). Now all three races more or less submit to the Sentinels and their seemingly arbitrary laws. Obvious exceptions include the Voice of Freedom and other outlaws.

Corrupted/malfunctioning Sentinels can be found on "dissonant" worlds, where Atlantideum crystals grow up out of the ground.

Eventually, you will learn that ||the Sentinels were originally agents of an archiving function within the Atlas itself. As the Atlas began to break down, it allowed Korvax Prime (itself a superintelligence) to be destroyed by the Gek, who stripped her (the Atlantid, the Void Mother) for resources. The Sentinels went rogue after that, and it's why they're triggered by planetary resource extraction. The "World of Glass" from which they come is where all the data of everything that has ever existed is saved in a solid state that should be able to survive the death of the Atlas and be recovered later if/when anyone returns to Earth to retrieve the Atlas or repair its hardware.||

[covert wind]

So question about the story ||I just reset the story and am now presented with 4 orbs, a raging galaxy, a tranquil galaxy, a exhausted galaxy, and a rebuilt galaxy, what are the pros and cons of each one??||

[safe robin]

I think tranquil is a lush one. It correlates to what galaxy you get sent to. For example green (eissantam) is a higher chance for paradise planets

[covert wind]

paradise planets are the really pretty ones, right?

[graceful jetty]

The raging galaxy (red I think) is, I believe, more aggressive sentinel planets

[graceful jetty]

Yes, paradise planets are essentially the ideal planets

[covert wind]

im in a new galaxy

??

[graceful jetty]

Yes, you get sent to a new galaxy and what it's like is dependent on which color galaxy you chose.

When you go into your galaxy map like you would if you wanted to warp to a new system, in the upper left corner, it'll tell you the name of the galaxy you're in

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy

[tawdry egret]

yo, after seeing several catch up videos for the last content patches I wonder one thing

does anyone or anything in the multiverses in NMS know the things we as players know? atlas simulating worlds, atlas about to get destroyed?

as much as I understand, there are some entities that know KINDA sooome things but does any1 know the real deal?

[icy citrus]

Polo and Nada

[glacial terrace]

the atlas made the universe right>

like the gek korvak n allat

[merry estuary]

It's simulating the universe we are in, yes

[icy citrus]

That's what we are told at any rate

[placid cedar]

225 galaxies???

[analog breach]

255*

Or 256 . Depends how u count.

[placid cedar]

Damn. That's a lot

Though small compared to the countless ones in the Universe

[wintry roost]

I've heard some Gek NPC are actually Korvak. Is this true?

[gloomy isle]

Okay after playing some more I think I have an idea of what the terrain system is doing and why it's so much more varied

It seems that each planet gets a pick of at least two terrain styles as opposed to the usual one

And they're also blended procedurally, it looks like

I've found the same "rugged plains" terrain a couple of times, but combined with different mountain types, for example

And those mountains also occur in varying density

All the way from barely any, to mountains covering most of the surface

So instead of the maybe 10 ish terrain types in normal systems, it seems closer to maybe pick 1 x pick 2 x blending mask

Though this is just from patterns I've been picking up so yeah

It also seems like the geometric terrain shapes like cubes and spheres go on top of that independently too

[uncut harness]

I just wish random pillars would stop spawning

It's like some part of the code stuck in 2016

When they used it for minerals

Yep, its a small community, but highly active and tight knit. Always love dropping in there, awesome folks and fun conversations

huh, discovery servers are still offline? How long's the outage been going on for?

oh yikes, around 22 hours of outages...

Just the Auth server thats down rn too, wonder whats going on...

[analog breach]

Yeah. Something bigger is going on than just "maintnance"

[glass flare]

PSN has been down for about a day, perhaps there's a cloud-level outage at one of the providers

[analog breach]

I hope its not another hackers attack 😩

[grizzled apex]

HG use azure for NMS' servers. I'm pretty sure the rest of their services are running well

[grizzled apex]

NMS has a surprisingly low amount of "maintenance" time for their servers imo. Most of the outages we've seen since we began tracking the servers have lasted at most an hour if not a few minutes. So a 22 hour outage is kinda weird

[uncut harness]

Cross save implementation

[glass flare]

PSN uses Azure too, fwiw

[grizzled apex]

Oh yea, its possible they're getting ready for a larger influx of players. Would make sense why only the auth servers are down in that case.

[grizzled apex]

The rest of their servers (incl dev and qa ones) are up too though, kinda looks like they just disabled public auth for the time being?

[glass flare]

yeah, it could be coincidental and HG's downtime is internal or intentional

[uncut harness]

Gunna suck when the discovery page finally loads and it's like 20 pages if you've been using portals 😂

Cloud Save has been a bit hit or miss for me so far, sometimes I have to manually push the save instead of it being automatic

[runic mesa]

Could it be Light No Fire prep?

[grizzled apex]

i highly doubt lnf is gonna use the same server endpoints as nms, especially since they have a seperate domain for LNF. Azure sets up all of their routes seperately too, so there shouldn't be any overlap b/w the two games.

[grizzled apex]

what's weird is the server sometimes doesnt even recognize that im a part of the beta. A lot of my external requests to check for exped dates just dont have any cloud save info, and that sometimes translates over in game, and I "get kicked" from the beta since the server doesnt return any info about my cloud save status...

[gilded gust]

I can't start my expedition, why would they not warn :/

[grizzled apex]

Get ready for delay number 2

[glass flare]

hm yeah, perhaps that's why my cloud syncs sometimes don't work

[grizzled apex]

I wouldnt be surprised if they push titan back again actually, they've got a bunch of latent patches and fixes for the titan exped's rewards and milestones in the current steam experimentals which they havent mentioned in the notes. So the exped probably wont work properly w/o the next patch even if it does start before that.

[rapid reef]

I'm wonder if one day we'll get to be able to customize ships like in car games. Different color palates, patterns, or vinyls to apply to the ship. Would be cool to have that in the base game

[gilded gust]

What for?

[glass flare]

well, the new expedition will have a reward that's a custom pattern you can apply to your ship. I do wish there was a more general customization option to be able to place decals wherever you want (or remove the ones that are there by default)

Alr. Are you in game RN?

Just super curious if you can package the Star Seed

[white edge]

i am not

[raven berry]

@scarlet sorrel why pick birth over deny?

[scarlet sorrel]

its way fucking cooler?!

and there's no difference either way

or maybe there is

id idnt do the main quest line 🤣

then your input is worthless

How can I reach the restored Eyagah system? It's the "In Stellar Multitudes" mission.

[indigo tree]

what are good foods to use in the nutrient ingestor? I just realized they give different stats compared to normally eating them

[compact coyote]

Who is Yabli-a

HOLY SHIT THE VOID MOTHER SPOKE TO ME

[formal granite]

are titan ocean planets possible? or is it more one or the other

also, are titan planets just marked as "gas giant" in the galaxy map, or does it say something else?

I've discovered that systems with non-gas giants are just called "dissonant" but show a giant when you click on em

[clear citrus]

ye they are possible

though idk if theyre actually deeper than a normal size ocean planet

[analog breach]

None was found so far and spawn tables say its not possible. Pls post when u find one.

[formal granite]

if* I find one

[fluid barn]

Lol, two Autophages sent me to do the fix the same autophage

[analog breach]

Ez void motes.

[clear citrus]

nvm thought i had found one but it happened to just be a giant with water that was very deep

[hot holly]

Solidified grease pie give 300% boost to jetpack. Weeeeeeee

There maybe a better jetpack boost food but I found this one myself

[merry hollow]

I went to the galaxy core and everything broke obviously, I summed my spare ship but the broken one won't show up using the scanners. How should I find it?

[icy citrus]

If it's not right there, you should still be able to summon it on the Anomaly or a station or your freighter

[merry hollow]

Managed to summon at the anomaly like you said, thank you. Started to get worried lol

[mental socket]

cloud servers down

[grizzled apex]

Yep, the auth servers have been down for more than 36 hours now. Since the game cant authenticate, it cant access any of the other servers (discoveries, expeditions, community mission etc), so those appear down too despite still working.

[mental socket]

hec

[grizzled apex]

im half expecting them to delay the cursed a bit longer since people can't download the expedition during this time

[runic mesa]

I just said this in the general NMS chat, but I wonder if we'll get another 3 expedition year if they continue to have problems.

[analog breach]

Or again exp 16 rerun in dec.

[runic mesa]

Emergence remix plz

[grizzled apex]

They ended on expedition 16 for 2024, so ending on expedition 19, another important number, might be on the cards anyway

I do hope they build on all the lore from The Cursed soon. I took all the "we are closer than you think" dialogue to be kinda literal when first playing, but knowing HGs track record of following up storylines they've set out that might be asking for too much haha...

[runic mesa]

At least you can fight the Boundary Guardian in the game proper now. And kill its mooks for scattered qualia.

[compact coyote]

I created a system yesterday!

That was cool honestly

So Yabli-α was basically that big sphere thing

[runic mesa]

I hope we see them again.

Though now we have storyline representatives from Korvax (Nada), Gek (Polo) and Autophage (Yabli-a).... but not a Vy'keen.

[grizzled apex]

I do think HG intend to bring em back since they're a named character which are rare. Im guessing they'll play a part in the final part of the VM arc

[rough copper]

Has anybody checked what the biome probabilities are for purple stars yet? Nothing updated for that in the wiki.

[hexed crypt]

Damn. After doing the new quest the name "void mother" makes so much more sense now.

[cloud jolt]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

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

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

❗ Warning: After the 16th warp, it is recommended to take a moment to store installed tech/modules on exosuit, active ship and multit-tool tech inventories (or swap to secondary ship and multi-tool you don't care about, only do it for exosuit).

Note: If the player hasn't completed The Atlas Path yet in this save, it is suggested to do so now, since The Purge will keep registering progress even if it's not the selected mission.

[compact coyote]

It’s super cool that the void mother actually speaks to you in the story

Even if it’s once. It’s like a holy shit moment

[river aspen]

i had goosebumps in that scene

"what have i done" moment

imagine if now the Atlas is angry to us

[uncut harness]

If we living in a simulation let me start killing NPCs

[analog breach]

What if u are npc

Also pegi 7 says no

[arctic vapor]

Once I have Atlantid Drive, I don't need the others yeah?

[dull verge]

No I'm p. sure you still need Indium.

[arctic vapor]

ok, watching the stars reappear in multitudes was really cool.

[compact coyote]

It was a very cool mission overall

[rough copper]

Since none of the characters are human would that even affect the rating?

[sour fossil]

Cool but short as heck

"tie in the strands of lore" like what I take longer to tie my shoelaces ffs

[analog breach]

Direct killing humanoid looking avatar probably would affect it

[glass flare]

I do think it's interesting that Yabli-a (they should have workshopped that name a bit more) seems to be aware that the other entities in the game are NPCs, since it calls Hyperion a "prebuilt" engineer, aka prebuilt by Atlas

[rough copper]

"Non realistic looking violence towards fantasy characters" would still keep it in the rating

the guidelines don't mention the number of legs something is required

[glass flare]

we can already kill other humanoid characters in multiplayer

[rough copper]

Yeah and our character can die lol

and be viewed dying in 3rd person

[grizzled apex]

im pretty sure thats just autophage lingo for anyone who isnt one of them...

[grizzled apex]

theres something about that in the xbox cert on the ESRB site, still got its current rating though

[fresh mulch]

If you reset atlas does ur file reset

Cuz I said nah to atlas

[icy citrus]

No, it doesn't reset your file

[dusky kernel]

imagine a world of glass update

I kinda want to stroll through this game's described version of hell underneath the multiverse idk

[compact coyote]

I wonder what the world of glass really looks like

[dusky kernel]

definitely purple

I personally assume it's a mixture of the pillar exotics and dissonant

and also riddled in VERY sharp surfaces (like obsidian's? obsidian is a glass, so...). the lore makes that clear enough

[glass flare]

it sounds like a pretty boring place to explore tbh

Funny that the Fragment of a New Atlantid encounter they added back in Orbital basically told us what they planned to do with this questline
Life is never extinguished. The data remains. The will remains.

[icy citrus]

What's Blobserve Server

Nevermind, I know what it means and I am substituting my own meaning. It is now the server that distributes blobs across NMS

[glass flare]

Hmm... I could understand that in reference to Korvax as being "prebuilt" in contrast to the Autophage, but Hyperion is not that. So it seems to be using that term in a larger way, at least to me.

I mean it also is very clear that it knows what the Atlas interfaces are, which is beyond anything an NPC has had knowledge of that I can remember. Maybe Nada/Polo, but not even sure they explicitly talked about the interfaces in that way

[uncut harness]

One of the few things from launch I hope they still add is landing on asteroids

After worlds part 2 made them more tough and you bounce off of some I was reminded of it lol

[runic mesa]

Yeah, I had an asteroid shove me over flying into the Anomaly today and I missed the entrance and hit the side lol

[analog breach]

I think The construct and singularity exp explained what prebuilt means . But i forgot what ...

[dusky kernel]

they just exist instead of building their own bodies from nothing?

[serene brook]

Hello everyone! i'm jumping back in after a long time. Anywhere i can read about the entire no mans sky story so far? Im more interested in the storys we can't experiance anymore, the expeditions. Trying to put it all together. Spoilers are fine, i beat the artemis and atlas storylines.

can side ping me if its easier. Also thank you for your time

[native carbon]

Do we have any lore about living frigates? Like what they are n' stuff

[analog breach]

We got some about it in leviathan expedition

[compact coyote]

I liked the idea of dissonant space or not possible space

Pretty cool

And the fact that you have to anchor it to reality

[urban owl]

Ohhhhh

[gloomy isle]

Prebuilt just means that they didn't assemble themselves

So being naturally born in this case would come under prebuilt

Since you haven't had to assemble your own body

[glass flare]

Hm I think that's a bit of a stretch.

This questline really illuminated to me that the Autophage, or at least some like this one we met, seem to understand the truth that they are living in a simulation which Atlas controls. They know that their Autophage kin and whole star systems can be brought back simply by loading archived data into Atlas. And being synthetic beings, it's probably not a big deal to them, as they exist as data and computations either way. In fact, perhaps Void Mother has always been aware of this fact and shared it with the Autophage during its time as the Korvax Prime AI.

[gloomy isle]

Their entire culture is based around them being self made

They pride themselves on constructing themselves out of components they themselves find. It's so ingrained that they don't even repair each other if they're damaged, they simply provide the materials for the damaged party so that they can repair themselves since it's sacred

It's why the staff is seen as a rite of passage for us as a being which isn't self made. It represents their way of life and us building our own staff is a display of our willingness to understand and connect with them

It's also why they're constructed out of random scrap that's been lying about, and it's why they're called autophage

They're 100% devoted to the void mother ofc but they have a lot of their own culture to learn about outside of that

Yabli is a great example of an autophage that's made their body in a unique way

[glass flare]

I understand their culture, but what I meant is that I'm doubtful they would see "prebuilt" as applying to organic beings. In any case, I think given the nature of the questline and their knowledge of Atlas's true nature, that "prebuilt" takes on a different and more fundamental meaning. Especially in context of Yabli saying "no, a prebuilt engineer wouldn't have that knowledge" -- because it is the Autophage / VM who have broken past the limited understanding that the simulation's other NPCs are bound by

[umbral smelt]

i actually think the world of glass is pure light according to the sentinel logs i think

[umbral smelt]

not just sharp but also thirsty. the glass literally cuts you painlessly and sucks out ur bodily fluids like a juice box

sucks how much of this wild lore is just locked into the textboxes of an otherwise resource management and exploration interface but hello isn't big enough to do anything resembling cinematics so whatever

[quaint mason]

cinematics are up to our imaginations ig

[umbral smelt]

so real. nms animated fanseries when

[quaint mason]

omg thatd be so cool

[dusky kernel]

would love to see artist concepts of the wog even though I'm not much of a drawer

[glass flare]

my feeling on the World of Glass is it's more psychological, there's no actual physical place, so it's just what their minds make up. it's probably some holographic memory data archive that doesn't exist in the simulation itself

[real sapphire]

Does anyone have information of minimum and maximum size of titan planets and gas giants?

[grizzled apex]

WP2 added a few structs and references to Cutscenes, although they don't seem used rn.

[quaint mason]

oh interesting

[analog breach]

Sean said in trailer gas giants can be 10x bigger than normal planet. But didint specify if its bigger in radius , volume or surface.

Biggest normal planet was 142k radius

[real sapphire]

I think gas giant is 10x bigger than largest normal planet, if so, the end point of the radius is likely to be the top most part of a gas giant

Cuz the biggest gas giant i found so far is over 650ku, which doesnt seem 10x the size of largest nornal planet.

[grizzled apex]

Oh wait yea, there's a function in the exe which sets planet region size based on the size enum, I'll check that later to see by what factor gas giants are bigger...

It doesn't directly correlate to radius or volume, but more about how big a "chunk" is per planet.

[real sapphire]

So in this case, for gas giants, the true radius includes the outermost part of the atmosphere?

[grizzled apex]

The function I'm talking about only deals with terrain chunks I believe

[real sapphire]

Ohh

[grizzled apex]

The gas giant atmosphere is a model loaded on top on the planet I believe, but the terrain size for both them and normal giants is the same

[real sapphire]

Alright, thanks

[analog breach]

I liked that all elements where lore explained , like same dangerous plants on every planet.
But now we got random jar heads and cthulhu head just because

[real sapphire]

Feesh

[grizzled apex]

they did tease that the cthulu head's a glimpse of what "lies beyond the boundary", which has me curious if there's gonna be a new race in the world of glass

[grizzled apex]

oh hey, the auth server is back up!

still no update on titan's start date btw

[icy citrus]

T

Y

[analog breach]

Yeah . A there is lot of new race speculations. Idk how HG will solve world of glass "visiting" if it will ever be available.

[icy citrus]

I do hope another extension happens, Switch still hasn't got the initial update fixing the breach 3 glitch

[runic mesa]

Thankfully, I played the original run. But really sucks for others

I was hoping purple systems would have the boundary breach mechanic, but I guess that's something different.

It's just odd to set up a whole system like that for just an expedition...

[analog breach]

We dont know yet what exp will bring except it will have purple systems

[grizzled apex]

Yea, purple systems are suprisingly tamer on the whole void / lore part. I think they might've wanted to tie the VM lore into the thread initially, but ran outta time and just wanted to push out the new generation before hand

Weirdly, all of the item textures for In Stellar Multitudes have the prefix 2024 in the texture names, which makes me wonder just how much WP2 was delayed

[grizzled apex]

Its mostly just a tour of the new planet types with some small gathering missions thrown in, going by the seasonal mission table it seems?

No new lore sadly...

They kinda just straight up lied about "tying up strands of lore that we've been building up". The Cursed did a better job at that than In Stellar Multitudes imo. It just seems like marketing jargon for the announcement tweet?

[sour fossil]

Yeah I said it before and I say it again

The quest was nice but wayy to short

To "tie in the strands of lore" like what

It takes me longer to tie shoelaces ffs

And before somebody chimes in: yes, I know making quests isn't easy, have done couple myself and even those I consider longer

[grizzled apex]

It feels like something rushed out to explain why there's purple systems now, instead of being a planned out part of the ongoing arc imo

[sour fossil]

The only lore tie in I see in purple systems is that they tend to spawn purple tinted storms in space when idling

[analog breach]

Wp2 really feels underbaked

[sour fossil]

On lore side, yes, gameplay is more than enough

[runic mesa]

It feels like they're still holding some things back for whatever reason.

[sour fossil]

You wanna more lore? Consider this theory I had: we got Atlas Eternal some time ago

[grizzled apex]

I dont expect a worlds part III, but they're building up to something w/ everything the cursed did

Just not sure when we might see it

[sour fossil]

In which a new star is being created each time we interact with Atlas again

How about we use that lore as a premise for new systems? VM having access to all that new info, to all these seeds for possible systems

And in ISM we just provide the catalyst for the chain reaction

[grizzled apex]

I honestly thought thats what they were planning to do for the purple system reveal. Hell, they even have gameanalytics tracking for every time a person "creates a new star" via Atlas Eternal

[runic mesa]

And introducing Yabli-a seems like there's more planned.

[sour fossil]

Yeah not so sure about that

[grizzled apex]

For an apparent planned recurring character, they gave em one of the most procedural sounding names in the game's narrative tbh..

I was surprised when I did the quest on a secondary save and the name was still Yabli-Alpha, since I thought they were just using any ol proc autophage name

[gloomy isle]

It's on the short side but the lore isn't bad at all

Not all that much happened but what did happen was pretty significant and is definitely gonna be important going forwards

I also don't think yabli is coming back tbh

[runic mesa]

Bomber, is there any indication that the food market esteem with Cronus does anything?

[brittle orbit]

Just really confusing

[grizzled apex]

Hmm, I hadn't checked that out yet, good call. I'll take a look when I'm back at my setup. Might be stored in your save file for later expansions?

They do the same thing with the In Stellar Multitudes quest rn, the progression for it's saved to sync up for when they eventually add it to the catalogue's stories section, but it hasn't actually been added in yet.

[runic mesa]

I was wondering about that. I noticed it's lot logged in Stories

[grizzled apex]

I made a quick fix mod for it, which works retroactively since HG had the foresight to at least track your completion for it.

[runic mesa]

How many counts is it?

[grizzled apex]

counts?

[runic mesa]

Sorry, entries. How many entries does it count for?

[grizzled apex]

All of them

The only bit that isn't properly working is one where it's supposed to show your selected purple star memories. I might have to check if they changed the stat names for those

[sterile drum]

Could there be something planned for ships that can go underwater?

There was a small vid segment with the new ship but it could have been just to showcase ocean waves

[analog breach]

We dont know.

We suspect that new ship will have the perk from the vid. We dont have any other info.

[low hinge]

Hey guys, im quickly finishing NMS again, and i've come to the part where you have to choose for artemida's end, so
Life or bath for artemida?

[icy citrus]

Bath

[low hinge]

Alright, the choice is made
Thank you all for participating
Bath

[grizzled apex]

I'm pretty sure its tracked via this stat since it was added in WP2 and changes after market donations
There's no assigned use for it in the MBINs anywhere, and surprisingly nothing rewarding this esteem in the game files either. It all seems to be handled in the game's exe itself.

[runic mesa]

So maybe something that will be added later?

I'm gonna grind it to 100 and see what happens.

[grizzled apex]

Its possible, since its all stored in the save files they could pretty seamlessly use it for something later down the line.

[mental socket]

@grizzled apex Have any idea what the hecc happened to the favorite button with other players bases? The experimental (since public) that stopped featured bases from being favorited seemed to univerally apply to every player base

and if it could be fixed with a quick mod?

[grizzled apex]

ill take a look at the UI file responsible, but im fairly confident that its an exe level change since the page layout's changing based on some condition in the code.

[mental socket]

hecc

it's kinda unfortunate if this is intentional change

[grizzled apex]

It might be possible to fix with an nmspy mod if thats the case, but I need to fix up my existing install too, after which I could try to tackle the exe 😅

There's only so far you go with function and struct mappings from 4.13 fractals unfortunately

[glass flare]

eh I don't really agree with that, Stellar Multitudes advanced and tied together the Autophage and the Void Mother lore. I thought it was a decent continuation of the main story, and much more satisfying than Cursed

[grizzled apex]

Oh, I dont disagree with its importance in the grand scheme of the lore, I just feel like HG overstated what it was doing. They didnt tie up various strands of lore, they just built on one very solid arc that they've been focused on for a while now

[glass flare]

If it failed at all, it's in not making Yabli a better character

Well... let's be honest, HG always overstates their lore reveals. The lore expeditions are like one bite of a meal

[grizzled apex]

I feel like Singularity is still the most solid lore build up they've done in an expedition. I wish they'd use expeds as a way to drive the lore, and integrate that content into the main game later on somehow with other lore progression too

I hope thats what theyre planning to do with the cursed, but we'll have to see

[glass flare]

yeah Singularity was solid, especially in the way the content and lore worked together

[grizzled apex]

yep, its still in the ui file. whatever stops it from showing up on non-self bases is probably happening in the exe

Nice to see Sephiroth putting down bases in the simulation though

Just wish I realized that when I first found a Sentinel nest (before the mission) that I would have known to check out the terminal lol

[uncut harness]

Can the new colossal water creatures be predators?

[gloomy isle]

I agree with this, though echoes was also mostly story focused so there was more need for that imo

[outer cobalt]

||τον κόσμο του γυαλιού ... γυαλί = Greek for ... exactly!||

[gloomy isle]

I think what we did get in worlds part 2 was very good, it was exciting to see our actions in a quest actually have a galaxy wide impact

But it does feel like a prelude to something else more than a full thing, yeah

Especially with what was essentially a cliffhanger ending

[glass flare]

I imagine the next narrative beat will deal with the regenerated Autophage, because I guess a lot of them were restored with the planets, but we didn't see any of them. Perhaps we will see settlement-sized communities or something

[sand drum]

I’d assume the next big narrative missions would be ||Korvax Prime/Void Mother|| reemergence

make a new galaxy?

[uncut harness]

The void mommy was low-key a fan of the first spawn probably

[ember heart]

don't you mean

I don’t know if that’s true

[still gulch]

BLUH

I JUST KILLED THE BIG AUTOPHAGE BALL ON ACCIDENT LMAO

[sand drum]

HELLO????

[quaint mason]

yeah resetting the atlas sends you to a new galaxy bc thats the games way of making it seem like you reset the "universe", but you can go back to the old one as long as you have a base there, iirc even just been to a space station

apart from different dialogue i dont think the choice is significant

also er i said that way too late didnt i

[chilly widget]

Welp, I've finally come to the crossroads on my main 1700+ hour save, I have to decide Artemis' fate. Never completed the quest on any other save. Is there any reason to keep her alive, content-wise?

[quaint mason]

artemis will contact you later on, and realize that theyre in a simulation, so nothing but regret i guess

after that nothing

[chilly widget]

😦

[dull verge]

IIRC she gets over it.

[formal granite]

are there gas giants that aren't just... bright green? or is that it

also, what's helium used for?

[pearl sparrow]

This is the guy to who I become their own Artemis. I hate the future.

[oak prism]

When you go into the core to travel to another universe what happens to your ship and stuff

[runic mesa]

All the tech will break. But you don't actually lose anything.

[oak prism]

So I just switched out my OP stuff to other gear?

[runic mesa]

That's how a lot of people do it, yup. Then just switch it back after the jump.

For your exosuit tech, you can store the modules in your inventory.

[oak prism]

So it’s technically NG+

Having all of your ships and Multi Tools still with you

[runic mesa]

Not really. You can return to any galaxy you've jumped to at any time. When you jump, put a base down. Then you can teleport back and forth all you want.

[oak prism]

So it’s discovering a new galaxy you can travel to

I do have a base in the old galaxy so I can just go back when I travel

[runic mesa]

Yup

Think of it as not NG+, but just unlocking another area.

[oak prism]

Btw I spawned like 680K light years away from the centre lol

[runic mesa]

Yeah, that happens heh

[oak prism]

Do you need to travel the full distance or will the Atlas fast travel you

[oak prism]

Uh what the hell

My Heart of the Sun turned into a star seed

[vestal vault]

Thats what it does

its a thing for completing te path

[runic mesa]

You only get fast tracked to the center in the storyline. If you want to galaxy jump again, you have to get to the core yourself.

There are a few ways to get there easier: like visiting features bases in other galaxies or portaling to an uploaded base near the core.

[amber moss]

Don't know if anyone tried this one or not but try to || dig the ancient site where you found the gravity balls || and wait for surprises

[fervent fern]

But..
...ok. 🥲
(Kidding, thanks. I thought it was scheduled).

[oak prism]

Hey so I got a bug

I had the heart of the sun in my inventory but when I went to the next galaxy it switched to a Star Seed

[ebon briar]

thats intnlended

[oak prism]

Do you need to have both or is the star seed a upgraded HOTS

[potent gorge]

I did it.

[oak prism]

What’s the difference between the Star Seed, HOTS and Remembrance

[ebon briar]

it actually does something so yes

[potent gorge]

I refused the Atlas in The Atlas Path, but I decided to reset the simulation. Tranquil Galaxy. I do not like the Atlas, it deserved to die. However, I will be the last. This galaxy doesn't deserve to die in silence. This new galaxy will be a better home.

[oak prism]

I said “I wanna travel to new galaxies to explore new horizons” and went to a new galaxy

[potent gorge]

I will remember them, those long along the way

[ebon briar]

why do you hate atlas?

[oak prism]

The death of the atlas means that all of these worlds die, so that’s why I reset mine

I don’t want to lose all of these cool planets to explore plus all of the Gek, Vy’Keen and Korvax deaths

[potent gorge]

It does anything to save itself, such as committing genocides in universes that fail to reset it

[potent gorge]

Same

Remembrance is such a cool item

[ebon briar]

so just biblically accurate god

[oak prism]

Guess I’ll remake HOTS and see what happens

[ebon briar]

dont

[oak prism]

So the upgrade path is

HOTS > Star Seed > Remembrance?

[ebon briar]

HOTS is to make Starseed

and they both give 1 unit of health

[oak prism]

If I have all 3 will it give me 3 more health or is Star seed and Remembrance the only buffs

[ebon briar]

HOTS is an item, not tech

[oak prism]

Oh I didn’t know that

[ebon briar]

and remembrance stacks with star seed

[oak prism]

Thanks for confirming

[celest harness]

The music that plays during the new missions is just so beautiful

This game just keeps on delivering

[uncut harness]

Does anyone think the Child of Aquarius and Child of Helios are related? Like they're both big jellyfish.

[grizzled apex]

The start time isnt set on the server yet, I'll keep checking up til The Cursed ends, but I think they're still patching issues with the exped, so we probably wont see it start today.

[glass flare]

I saw someone saying earlier in general chat that the Switch end time had been extended by 6 days, but for no one else. but not sure if that's legit

[grizzled apex]

Love the new tracks HG have been adding, I wish they'd release a new OST album with these.

I uploaded rips of the 3 tracks HG added w/ WPII, since they're too good to just listen to once haha

[grizzled apex]

Hmm, I don't have a switch to check, did they send a screenshot?

[glass flare]

I don't remember, I was half paying attention to chat at the time. I've pinged the person I think who mentioned it though

apparently that was just someone memeing, ah well

[uncut harness]

[lone tangle]

The Atlas didn't die, it is literally everything on the simulation, every galaxy, every NPC, animal, plant, or mineral

[potent gorge]

Correct, but it is not a good entity. It deserved it have its 16 minutes and perish, but the people I could save by resetting it matters more to me

[chrome depot]

The atlas isn't good but I don't think it's evil either. It's just a faulty program.

[glass flare]

It's more than just a program, it's an AI with some level of sentience. but yeah, it is faulty at this point (or at least the hardware it's running on is)

[elder marlin]

Pushes an Atlantideum in it's face and sideloads a Memories of Atlantid into it's interface to make it work better....

[potent gorge]

I agree to an extent, but I've read the crashed freighter logs and the Atlas has no problems killing entire universes because they don't obey it.

I'll put it this way. I didn't reset the universe for the Atlas. I did it for 1) to save more lives and 2) the Item Remeberence, for as long as I live, so do they

[indigo smelt]

What kind of fishing lure and planet best works for child of aquarius?

[analog breach]

I used Bionic

[grizzled apex]

@icy citrus Expedition 17: Titan now has a serverside start date of <t:1739368800>

[languid hawk]

New here, is that time localized?

[grizzled apex]

yep

[languid hawk]

Tyty

[glass flare]

hype

[icy citrus]

Thank you

[iron orbit]

yippieee

[icy citrus]

Not for everyone

Switch Cursed expedition runs till the 18th

[carmine kindle]

What time zone? 14.00 gmt?

[graceful jetty]

The time it shows is local to you. That's why it's highlighted like that. It shows each person the time in their local time

[carmine kindle]

Cool. Thanks

[graceful jetty]

Welcome

[potent rover]

so only in like 3 and a half hrs?

[glass flare]

yeah... which means like always people will have finished it before I even wake up

[potent rover]

yeeh part of me wants to stay up for the launch but, iimm dieein here

was rly hopeing it would launch now

[graceful jetty]

I feel your pain. I'll also be in bed asleep when it drops.

[icy citrus]

0900 EST has become standard start time

The last,uhm, all of them have started then

[halcyon pond]

oh its 3 pm for me

[graceful jetty]

I'm honestly surprised that it's releasing on a Wednesday though. I thought it would've been on a Tuesday

[halcyon pond]

doesnt help that i have an exam tomorrow

[graceful jetty]

But yeah, it'll be 9:00am for me when it drops. Downside to night shift sleep schedule

[icy citrus]

On the plus side, it's a new Expedition so likely 6 weeks long

[grizzled apex]

Yea I saw discussion around that a while back. I wonder how this is gonna affect HG's expedition schedule going forward.

[graceful jetty]

This is very true. I'm super excited to play it

[grizzled apex]

I'm guessing we won't get another back-to-back expedition at least

[icy citrus]

If they push that patch out for breach 3 today, I'd assume it won't - switch will just get a few days less

[graceful jetty]

I think the only reason that happened is because they extended it because of all the bugs that was preventing people from being able to complete exp 16

[grizzled apex]

Oh yea, there's a bunch of mission and reward fixes for Titan that're sitting in Steam Experimental rn. I'm guessing they're gonna release another patch in a few hours before the expedition starts.

[analog breach]

Or exted console/pc time so both will end at same time.

[icy citrus]

Sure, that could work

[grizzled apex]

or just not have an expedition immediately after this one ends, so that even after ending later, the switch gets back on schedule with the other platforms

[dawn kernel]

oh thank you

[near ferry]

stares at expedition console and notices it's unplugged 😛

[random harbor]

I mean wasn't cursed like 2 weeks when it dropped?

I really hate the fact it was so short

[icy citrus]

That's why the likely portion

Every other expedition has been 6 weeks first run, aside from the cursed

[analog breach]

Yeah cursed exp time was wierd

[runic mesa]

Cursed was released extremely close to the usual holiday rerun time

[random harbor]

I personally would've preferred a delayed holiday rerun

[analog breach]

Well cursed rerun was extended

[fervent fern]

Well, that's nice! Was kinda expecting it for today.
Think I'm somewhat cured from last year's expedition overload lol

[glad kernel]

Today?! Too close.

[fervent fern]

I mean, it was supposed to be last week iirc

[icy citrus]

This is the first real date we have had, but I'd guess it was delayed from when they planned yeah

[glad kernel]

maybe next Wednesday

[still pawn]

on Serys x how do i find the runes there’s only one communication station

[icy citrus]

#nms-questions

[high heart]

hey yall, silly question but is there any symbol/shape for atlantid? (like how the atlas usually is associated with a diamond shape)
also sry if this is the wrong channel to ask abt this

i must have it for smt

[wet lagoon]

Thought this would be the right place to ask...
What is the point of trying to get an S-tier Ship with several Supercharged slots? I'm currently flying around in a B-class clunker with 1 Supercharged slot, and I'm already tearing Capital Ships apart with next to no challenge... Are there anything bigger out there that requires a more powerful ship?

[zenith perch]

Something interesting I've noticed

They Who Returned and In Stellar Multitudes can be read as a sentence. They who returned, in stellar multitudes.

[zenith perch]

The classes give stat boosts or something iirc

Cargo and Tech Slots

[glass flare]

Nope, there's not really endgame-level threats. It's pretty much just people minmaxing for personal satisfaction and internet bragging rights

[foggy salmon]

man, kinda feel bad betraying the Atlas

What consequence lore-wise does birthing a star do? Will it save the Atlas?

[sour fossil]

Nope

You just get some flavour text

No new star is being created there

[foggy salmon]

I meant lore-wise

What does it imply, did Atlas just make us do all those for sh*ts and giggles?

[sour fossil]

It implies nothing

It was just a conclusion to what was back at the release the main storyline for the game

[scarlet sorrel]

atlas didnt make you do anythin it literally says 'it just needed a user'

when you go to the terminal to make a new star

[foggy salmon]

Atlas did though, it made us make those orbs, gather materials, and kept crafting, going from system to system. If that's not "making us do anything" then idk what is

[scarlet sorrel]

you didnt have to do it lol

nothing forced you

[foggy salmon]

literally a main mission

[scarlet sorrel]

you literally had the option to walk away at any time

you can say 'no' at any terminal

[foggy salmon]

but it won't disappear, the mission

you need to complete it

[gloomy isle]

It doesn't disappear if you do either

It's not mandatory

[foggy salmon]

It does though

Atlas Path disappears because you complete it and gets replaced with the Atlas Eternal

[foggy salmon]

And every mission is technically not mandatory, because it's an open world game

[gloomy isle]

So you don't need to complete it

[foggy salmon]

what kind of psychopath doesn't complete a mission, a main mission at that

[gloomy isle]

So many people

Me included usually

[peak cipher]

During the prayers of the machine, from the autophage questline, I saw this when I presented the Atlantideum to the machine in the nexus. I did a little translation of the binary because why not and it came out as mother home... Now, granted, I haven't gone far in the storyline but when they say the mother is nearby... It makes me think that the nexus is part of the Korvax uh... What did they call again, the homeplanet and whatnot.

[foggy salmon]

ayt, was just asking about the lore. not the technicality of the mission itself. what significance the stuff Atlas made us do was

kinda invested in the story

and not rewards or new features like the previous person said, I meant the lore... gonna look it up some more

[scarlet sorrel]

korvax prime?

[peak cipher]

Yes that's the one.

I forgot the name. 💀

[scarlet sorrel]

'mother' is the void mother, you know about that stuff?

[peak cipher]

Noooot yet. Was still a bit in the future but I had an inkling.

This is more or less a bit of a landmine but just figured I'd drop my deduction so far as a 'guess'.

[scarlet sorrel]

great idrk about that stuff either

the autophage dont reall interest me

[peak cipher]

Call it a leap of faith in my guesswork so far.

[elder marlin]

Indeed yep. Did not know the official site had a complete map of Euclid with the ability to input glyphs to get your planet's location. used it to compare the 2 main systems I have in one of my saves regarding the Artemis path. My starter system is on the exact opposite end of the galaxy from one of the systems I had saved the glyphs for after "A leap in the Dark" (That planet is one of the planets I encountered doing the missions for the Gek in "Patterns in Time" on that save). Really neat if you ask me!

[muted tide]

Yea the Galactic atlas is cool, I use it to show non nms friends a general placement of certain planets.

Ex. My starting system, NMSCord hub, Galactic Hub planets

[fierce quarry]

You know, after we put artemis in the simulation, do we ever hear from them after completing the main story? I think we talk to them once and thats it

its quite sad, I hoped we at some point we would be able to interract with them a bit more

[jade barn]

Hey should i wipe the system or initiate personality interface? i did the personality one the first time.

[fathom flint]

So, if I have understood the message correctly of the concluded main questline, I can go to the center of the Euclid galaxy and reset the simulation (and each step I take adds a glyph, apparently?)...but I also don't have to? Like, at this point I can just do whatever I want.

Or is it counting down to 16 no matter what I do now?

[quaint mason]

it does count down but u are not forced to progress in the mission after that

also resetting does not delete anything, but you will probably want to equip a spare ship/multitool you dont care about and package exosuit tech
