[fathom flint]

Oh, so I get to listen to null complain some more?

Like, bro, how is your conscience my problem

The universe is ending

[quaint mason]

9th warp is last time you hear from him

after 16th, you have to go into a portal, where there is no turning back but you can also just never enter

if thats what you want

[fathom flint]

Okay, and that's still a reset to the next galaxy, but with your same ship, right?

Not the starter ship

[quaint mason]

yes, the "reset" is really just simulating jumping to another galaxy, if you make a base there you will be able to go back and forth between the first galaxy and that one

[fathom flint]

Last time I went to the center was like, 2017

Sooooo it was pretty different back then

[quaint mason]

before you jump make sure to do these

[fathom flint]

Huh so really the only reason to do it is if you want to see it and experience it

[quaint mason]

yeah and have access to another galaxy, which can have attributes like having more lush or dead planets

[fathom flint]

Oh, is that a known quantity?

I ran into a planet called NEST the other day that was extremely unsettling

Those "you're not meant to be here" vibes

[quaint mason]

yes theres 4 types, normal (the starting galaxy), harsh, lush and dead, harsh is simply more storms and extreme weather, lush has double the probablity for lush planets and half for dead, dead has 4x less lush and 4x as many deads

[fathom flint]

I do love storms

<: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.

[uncut hound]

can settlements appear on purple systems? the settlement charts keep not functioning there for me

[zenith perch]

Lore question

is the ost canon

also

Who is the void father

[glass flare]

what do you mean is the OST canon

[muted tide]

If it's diagetic, probably.

I was thinkin about that a bit earlier becuase the bytebeat exists, but as for just music that plays in the background? It's probably non-diagetic.

[unborn furnace]

question...when I reach the center and finish the main mission, do I go an entire different galaxy or do I stay on Euclid?

[fleet fable]

You go to a different galaxy, but you can always return to Euclid. Leave a base there before finishing the quest

[unborn furnace]

I have several bases here. so I can I teleport bewtween glaxies?

[fleet fable]

Yeah, you can always teleport between different bases, no matter where they are. It's only when you're using portals (the structures where you input glyphs) the journey is going to be restricted to a galaxy you're currently in.

[unborn furnace]

yes...it is that last bit of information that caught my attention from a recent video

[fleet fable]

In short: Teleporters allow you for intergalactic travel, as long as you have a specific base or a space station on the list.
And portals restrict you to a galaxy you're currently in.

You can also use the Anomaly teleporter to visit some featured bases in different galaxies

[frosty grove]

Where to find Relic base parts

?? I can't seem to figure it out.

[glass flare]

Memory Stones can give them to you on relic worlds

[lime pike]

Just understand if you haven’t really used portals yet, you might pop up in an area with 500 bases around it because someone found something there once.

[scarlet sorrel]

HEAR ME OUT

korvax holy trinity

[frigid valley]

Explain

[scarlet sorrel]

the autophage are prime korvax because they are literally just korvax from korvax prime that have reformed themselves

the gek are prime korvax (or at least half prime korvax) because essentially replacing an entire species minds and biology makes them the same species as you cmon

the euclid korvax are descended from prime korvax literally

but the gek arent autophage or euclid korvax, the autophage arent gek or euclid korvax, and the euclid korvax arent gek or autophage

hence the korvax holy trinity

[frigid valley]

So first let's start with gek

Korvax at some point organised to taint Frist Spawn Spawning Pools with their blood, nanites, that changed Gek and some might argue that makes them partially Korvax

[scarlet sorrel]

id argue nanobots reshaping biology and mind is far more than just tainting

also none of this is serious 😭

im not arguing for this because i actually believe it

[frigid valley]

[scarlet sorrel]

i just found the concept of a nms holy trinity too entertaining to pass up

but i will argue for it nonetheless

[frigid valley]

So it wasn't serious lore concept for a discussion?

[scarlet sorrel]

i mean it is

but i cant say that im fully convinced the gek are korvax enough to be considered korvax

[frigid valley]

Imo they aren't, and current Korvax arent Korvax prime, they have their own convergence

Autophages aren't Korvax Prime tho they are connected in a certain way

[scarlet sorrel]

i think

wait hold on

@frigid valley i think this makes more sense

[analog breach]

Korvax is not gek tho if korvax prime is korvax

[scarlet sorrel]

arguing for something i dont seriously believe is so hard 😭

[grave dirge]

What are the differences between the "Decide Artemis' Fate" mission?

[analog breach]

Dialouge diffrences

[frigid valley]

I mean, to really fit Gek, Autophages, Korvax and Korvax Prime in such diagram you would have to go through some serious gymnastics

If you want to stick to the diagram you might want to look into some other lore Entities like maybe Atlas, Sentinels, Atlantid etc

In the end everything is part of Atlas simulation

[grave dirge]

Oh ok, so no missing missions or anything if you decide differently

[scarlet sorrel]

yeah but at that point you could just say everything is atlas 😭

where's the fun in that

[frigid valley]

Everything is Atlas 🤯

[scarlet sorrel]

wrong

well not really

lmao

right!

[ebon briar]

creator isn't atlas

[scarlet sorrel]

the creator doesnt existi n the simulation

[ebon briar]

unless the creator built the atlas in an atlas simulation

and that atlas is in another atlas simulation

[scarlet sorrel]

i mean infinite recursion is a point ni the game

for example the simulation on the anomaly is a simulation within atlas

[ebon briar]

thats some good hardware

the prime atlas is simulating infinite universes

[analog breach]

U sure? || Anomaly is recreation of creator from vauge atlas memory. ||

[scarlet sorrel]

yeah but a recreation isnt the real thin

[frigid valley]

Do you belive that? How can you belive if you aren't real?

I think Atlas says something like that somewhere along the main story

[ebon briar]

how is it that the anomaly, who is closest to the creator from our understanding, is the last, therefore highestbcorruption chance, traveller

[scarlet sorrel]

nah im real

told atlas myself

[scarlet sorrel]

arent we the last traveller that nal mentions

[ebon briar]

exactly

[low glacier]

the creator of Atlas proposed that the reality he originates from could also be a simulation

[merry estuary]

Prove that you don't live in a simulation, go

[lunar monolith]

who pinged me in here?

[unborn furnace]

right..I see your point...||that image is normally used to explain the actual Trinity and further asserts some blasphemous undertones of the game. If you are not a believer, then you see nothing wrong with it||

spoiler question on the main mission. Is the end of the Atlas Path quest where the galaxy resets? or do I still have to venture to the center of the galaxy?

[scarlet sorrel]

blasphemous undertones? 🤣

[low glacier]

artemis questline

atlas path just gives you the recipe to make an atlas seed and glyphs

[dim pecan]

From a lore perspective,:

1. Who built the Monoliths & Knowledge Stones? Was it ancient ancestors of the respective 3 races? Was it Atlas? Someone/something else?

2. Do we know if everyone can interact with the Monoliths & Knowledge Stones like we can? Like if your standard Gek/Korvax/Vykeen interact with a Monolith, will they receive visions like we do? Or is that a "Traveller" specific thing?

[low glacier]

The Monoliths were likely built by ancient ancestors due to the fact you can commune with Hirk

[gloomy isle]

The game has more ties to gnosticism than anything tbh

Which by itself is just another belief

[unborn furnace]

interesting perspective. Appreciate the feedback 🙂

[pearl sparrow]

I want Apollo to initiate a space dogfight boss battle before you reach initiating the purge. That final conversation where he pleads and panics? Should've dropped out of warp on top of you to fight for his life.

"You're not the first one I've stopped."

[glass flare]

I noticed during the expedition that enemy ship weapons can knock you off course or even spin your ship. Was this a hidden "feature" added in Part 2, or has it been there a while?

[gloomy isle]

That's pretty interesting. Asteroids have been doing it since part 2 launched iirc

But I've not seen it with weapons

[glass flare]

yeah I was surprised. at first I thought it was a fluke, but it happened to me twice (both times when I was running away from freighter battles)

[runic mesa]

I bounced off an asteroid and missed the Anomaly entrance. Slammed into the side. Kinda hilarious, actually

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if they're tweaking stuff like ship collisions since we might be getting some bigger stuff to fly soon

[glass flare]

Also, I don't remember, have these flags always been here in the Anomaly? (this space is to the right of the cooking vendor and the other one) I wonder if they're just for decoration or if they're hinting at a future NPC here... maybe factions? Probably wishful thinking on my part

[serene brook]

hey everyone, wondering if theirs any important lore missed from past expeditions. If so, anyone know a good video that covers that stuff?

I've been looking myself, but i figured that someone probably has a recommend youtuber or text file i can read.

[mental socket]

this has been discussed before during the years. Sadly they've been there like that since the anomaly got the big rework

hoping they'd do something with it

[mental socket]

Not really. Expedition stories are pretty self contained. There was one that hinted at Autophages before but their main questline does it all better

[daring flint]

Btw, do we have any clues yet as to why the Atlas has 16 minutes of operation time left?

[ebon briar]

the giant fucking black hole

[daring flint]

There's a black hole? (Note: I haven't done any expeditions and I've only done the atlas path, artemis path and the autophage questline for purple stars)

And off the top of my head, I think when i last played was like 2018 or 2019 as well lol

[ebon briar]

funnily enough a reality simulation device cant go like 15 years or however long without maintenance and kamikazes itself with a black hole

@daring flint

[daring flint]

where is that info though? lol

[ebon briar]

the remembrance terminals

[daring flint]

ah, haven't got that far yet lol

[ebon briar]

16 is the atlas number

19 is the atlantid number

[weak hare]

hi guys im on the "patterns in time" "Uncover the Past" mission... my objective is to spak to a Vy'keen Cartographer on board a space station. The only one is at the Cart sales desk. and i have tried talking to everyone in the station. Would really appreciate guidance on this. Im in a red sun system Vy'keen. Thank you

[graceful jetty]

The cartographer is on the landing platform level on the left section as your looking at the sections from your ship

[weak hare]

I just found where to restart the mission. sorry to waste your time. Thank you

I restarted and went back to the station

[graceful jetty]

No worries. Happy to try to help

[low glacier]

went a few millennia without maintenance so the dyson sphere that's powering it is breaking down

[daring flint]

oof lol

[low glacier]

(probably not a dyson sphere but it's not realistic to be powered by anything that could be based on a planet)

the lore says that the creator is leaving for the stars so it's probably on earth or something

[dull verge]

You'll hear things about Earth (and the Atlas, which is on Earth) being actively destroyed by a black hole and "time dilation" is why 16 real minutes is an arbitrary amount of time in the simulation but I honestly don't know where this comes from and it doesn't make a ton of sense.

Like why is Earth being threatened by a black hole? The sun isn't massive enough.

16 (real) minutes = x (simulated) minutes never needed an explanation. The Atlas, by design, can simulate the whole histories of multiple universes beginning to end and is not, presumably, spending trillions of years to do that in real time.

[unborn furnace]

hello. I just came across this...what is it for?

[glass flare]

there's a terminal on each one you can access and get lore from

[low glacier]

According to some lore regarding the void mother and Laylaps that’s what the sentinels are trying to do

“Don’t drink the water” being something you see as settlement status, due to their plan involving flooding water in the simulation with nanites

I haven’t seen any specific tidbits where they mention that it’s a blackhole specifically that’s going to destroy the KORVA machine, but even if it’s true then there’s still something that’s been making it spaz out prior

Ive read the rogue data but don’t remember reading anything relating but my memory could be off

“It witnesses its own self, the black hole ripping apart its world, its core systems almost destroyed.” it’s hard to wrap around the idea that KORVA could present such strong time dilation within itself to be able to simulate eons within just a few minutes

but i guess if it says so

what happens if laylaps and co make it out of the simulation, if there’s just a singularity waiting for them on the other side

I think Telamon is cool, I hope they get more screen time

[weak hare]

Im at the point in the game where i can see the Final Interface, Complete the atlas Path or Explore the galaxy. Im trying to get to open up the purple galaxy/gas giants part of the game. Which do i choose to continue? I read the faq on purple galaxy's but it doesnt seem to reference this that i can tell.

[weak hare]

had a 50/50 chance and looks like i chose wrong. I chose th Final Interface. and looks like my restore point doesnt go back far enough. what can you recommend to get back to the right path for my goal?

[indigo smelt]

Are purple system ruined building logs just "Hello World!"? Yet to find one that isn't that.

[ebon briar]

that means you've got all the logs

[cloud plume]

Am I wrong or this is useless? I remember needing hazmat gauntlet to pickup storm crystal (anyway it only cost 80 nanites XD)

[indigo smelt]

Did the latest major update not add any? I may have missed some because of a bug that was only recently fixed.

[icy citrus]

You need to do both the Atlas Path, and the Artemis Path (seek final interface). So you didn't choose wrong

[fallow beacon]

https://youtu.be/pMVY9Xd64tg?si=f-GHK-1oreRRa-Sl

@uneven wave

there ya go

[uneven wave]

I saw it

It funny but also dumb

[fallow beacon]

yeah right? xd

[uneven wave]

I can see someone like you using it in an interesting way

But I can also see a bunch of flying bricks

[gloomy isle]

Seems like it'll be used for corvettes

Which are looking like smaller frigate type things that are flyable

I do wonder if they'll use freighter parts, or if they might do something with modular ship parts almost like starfield

[runic mesa]

I was just looking at this. It definitely looks like an NPC station. Also, those holographic arrows above it.

[runic mesa]

Meh. Oh well.

[snow leaf]

There are cookies (with quite an easy recipe) which sell for 90k units a piece..
So I can literally buy a small space ship for a Box of 50 Cookies.. oO
The girlscouts of this universe must be runnin the whole damn economy..

[analog breach]

U also need hazmat glove for plants

[cloud plume]

yup, but don't you need the gloves for the storm crystals too?

if yes, this reward is pointless

[weak hare]

Thank you!!!

[weak hare]

so my primary missions right now include the space anomaly - beyond the system, The Atlas Path(This one i know i need to complete) and New Beginnings. Do i need to complete all three to open up purple galaxy or just the Atlas Path?

[sharp zodiac]

[ Spoiler Of The Main Questline ] If I choose to ||Refuse the atlas during the Purge mission, im keeping everything, right? ||

[merry estuary]

You do either way

[modest venture]

Atlas and autophage missions

[runic mesa]

The requirements for purple systems are:

Complete the Artemis path (you already have that done), complete the Atlas path, unlock a harmonic camp on a dissonant planet, complete They Who Returned.

[amber elbow]

Hey guys, I'm at a mission called the purge should I choose to seek the final interface or complete atlas path?

[runic mesa]

Personally, I'd go ahead and do the Atlas path. The warps for the Atlas stations will count towards your warps needed for The Purge. Feed two birds with one scone.

[trail pecan]

hey guys

what did Null do?

[weak hare]

Hi, so i just made the Star Seed but there are no options to choose a galaxy, what am i doing wrong?

[weak hare]

thank you

[weak hare]

cheers!

[weak hare]

It would seem im stuck in an endless loop of giving atlas discoveries, help please!

[ebon briar]

that means the quest is over

[runic mesa]

If the quest has changed names to "Atlas Eternal" and you have the Star Seed, you're done with the Atlas path. Atlas Eternal is repeatable for nanites

[graceful jetty]

That sounds like The Atlas Path mission is done and it's now called Atlas Eternal. That would mean you finished the main Atlas questline and you just give the Atlas discoveries forever. You can move on to other quests

[outer ember]

in Euclid can you select a second galaxy after the new beginning?

[spark egret]

If I’m collecting lore from monoliths/plaques/archives, does it get catalogued in chronological sequence even if I find the pieces out of sequence?

And further to that point, what’s the best way to get abandoned stations in survival? For those back rooms.

[toxic radish]

This wasn’t very clear to me either when I did the mission chain recently. All I got was that - null - somehow visited all the planets in all the star systems (in the universe). Anyone got any more info?

[grave dirge]

Does anyone know the common variable combos of the Purple Galaxies, like X/F or #s for lush/paradise planets?

[tulip heron]

When the whole fuckup with 16 happens, I'm asked if I want to go to the center of the galaxy to "reset"... Will it effectively happen ? Because I kinda want to go on with the main story y'know ^^"

I'm not expecting the game to affect my save or anything, I just fear a Fallout 3 ^^"

I have 3 options : The final terminal, the Atlas network, and "exploring"... I guess that "exploring" just means pausing the main quest ?

[sour fossil]

Purple systems have labels starting with X or Y

[grave dirge]

Do purple systems not have any traders in them?

[sour fossil]

The other symbols are fluff, we don't have any data to confirm they correspond to any propeties

Whadaya mean "don't have traders"

Purple systems can be inhabited

[grave dirge]

like noone in space stations

[sour fossil]

So you will find NPC pilots and structures

[grave dirge]

Oh i havent found any, nor any working space stations

[sour fossil]

Nothing will get permanently reset

You will be transported to another galaxy of your choosing

Your currently installed technology will break

You will keep all your stuff, ships, bases, progression, etc

[tulip heron]

I'm currently going the Atlas route, not knowing if it's usefull in any form lmao

[sour fossil]

If you want to have access to purple Star systems and other stuff from Worlds Part 2 update

Then you will need to complete Atlas Path as well

[tulip heron]

Well, I just checked and I have the Galileo rank lmao

[tulip heron]

... I think I hit some sort of roadblock... I presented the serie of seed to the "council of stones" and now I just jump from an Atlas Station to another, telling Big Ball about a plant, a planet or an animal, and onto the next Station. Am I doing something wrong ?

[uncut harness]

Once you unlock atlas enternal you're done

[tulip heron]

Oh ok thx

[winter sun]

heh i'm surprised the new warp drive can be installed on living ships even though it isn't a living tech

[amber elbow]

What happens if you ||reset the simulation|| ?

[ebon briar]

nothing

[rough copper]

Is Ambient Mode still built into the game, accessible with save editor? I tried changing the game mode code with the save editor a while back and I couldn't get it to work.

[gusty eagle]

@open rivet

The official nms wiki

[open rivet]

I am the one who is cringe, apparently

[spark egret]

What's the best way to find Archives?

[static steeple]

I've spent actual irl days and multiple night cycles on different types of scorched planets at 50+ depth trying to catch the Jelly of the Veil with no luck. Anyone got any ideas if there's a criteria I'm missing? Or am I just extremely unlucky with this one😤

[outer cobalt]

The biome is correct, the depth is related to fish size. What sizes are you catching at the spot/depth you picked? Only other thing I can think of to try increase odds, is night time bait that boosts rarity (see pins).

[tulip heron]

Say, what's the next step once you have the purple systems that spawn everywhere ? Because... I still have the Sentinell Interceptor, my Cargo fleet still sucks and I only have a crappy stick... But no relevant quests ^^" (I even did the submarine one and geeze what a dispointment lmao)

Like, am I supposed to find new staves, better cargo and living ships by myself ? 🤔

[glass flare]

Yeah, this is basically a sandbox game, and it really comes down to making your own goals. You could take missions from the guilds and get your rankings up in each, or go search for better ships and multitools, or just go explore planets and build bases...

[tulip heron]

That's... kind of a surprise, since a big chunk of the game really holds your hand (and I don't like it, especially all the reminders for active quests and the constant flashes "Hey, you got a new blueprint ! Hey listen"). So... Yeah, I'm kinda surprised I'm just... threwn in there like that ^^" Especially regarding Cargo wich is really long to upgrade.
I have no issue with the game being a sandbox. I just didn't felt it was one due to the amount of... idk how to name it... The UI is always remiding you that you have active quests (even if the quest is just "play the game) so, I'm a bit... lost ?

[cloud turtle]

There's expeditions where you get a bunch of stuff to do with a reward at the end

[tulip heron]

Yeah but it's the multiplayer stuff, no ?

[glass flare]

No, you can do expeditions completely solo. You can use your current save, and then bring those rewards back to your current game

[tulip heron]

Oh okay

[glass flare]

And I agree that the game is overly handholdy, but I've also seen a lot of streamers who start the game and are completely lost. That's modern gaming to an extent, people need to be told exactly what to do. I mean there's people that come in here all the time and ask what story choice they should choose. "should I kill Artemis?" ...like I dunno, do what your heart tells you lol. But also the game has a ton of game systems, so it can be overwhelming if you haven't been playing for years.

So anyway, yeah. I tend to do a mix of activities and I think that's the best way to play, because the gameplay depth in any one feature isn't that deep, but taken as a whole there's a lot to stay entertained with.

[tulip heron]

To me, there is a "balance" issue with handholding and "be free". If I get quest reminder every half second when I'm trying to build my base, I'll expect that when starting to do a cargo, I'll be accompanied and shown what I'm supposed to do.
And instead I got farming simulator and "waste ressources into vehicles" ^^"

[glass flare]

Yeah, a lot of those early quests are just glorified tutorials with some very light story elements draped around them. It's not really great and most of those should be optional. Not everyone cares about farming, or exocrafts, or whatnot.

[quaint mason]

tbf they are optional

i completed in stellar multitudes before i even hired a farmer

and that pirate mission im never doing its boring and i already know everything about the stations

[glass flare]

mm maybe they changed it, it's been years since I started a brand new save and did all the main questlines. that stuff used to be mandatory to progress the storyline

[quaint mason]

you do have to complete part of the expanding the base mission, including hiring the scientist, but thats as far as it goes iirc

[austere hound]

so
what exactly is going on with Artemis?

ive played through the whole quest before and im doing it again now and im a bit confused

[austere hound]

ok ive got to ask because its driving me nuts

do we know why the atlas is dying?

[quaint mason]

its dying because its a machine that was abandoned on earth because the creator used it to simulate the universe so they could learn about it and stuff to help them escape or something like that. of course they found the solution so atlas became useless, the creator decided to keep the simulations running though. after a long time the machine slowly degraded with nobody to fix it, and now its on the brink of failure

luckily though 16 mins in the "real world" could be a very very long time in the "simulation", but that doesnt stop all the glitches occuring in the simulation

[austere hound]

ah, makes sense

what did Null do?

its implied he did something horrifying

[glacial terrace]

oh thats

[hard mist]

do any fellow girls play this game? ._.

[rich silo]

ok ive been doing dissonance stuff for the last couple of hours. these robots keep giving me numbers. im sure they mean something when translated and its probably a spoiler but can anyone tell me what it means. theyll say stuff like 7 is and then a binary number

[mellow bane]

What exactly does that freighter room do the one that says something about collecting stuff from outside atmosphere

[fierce hollow]

I've done it

I finally reset

[hard mist]

they get materials depending on the type of star your freighter is located on

[mellow bane]

What type the ones you'd find on planets deposits ?

[hard mist]

yup

❤️

[mellow bane]

Awesome that's tonight's mission then

[cursive kernel]

Hey I have a question

Do we have a website that is basically a repository for the lore akin to the orokin archives

[glass flare]

The wiki is probably the best resource for lore https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Lore

[cursive kernel]

I thought we already moved off of fandom

[dusky monolith]

Guys what the hell do i get from the atlas quest? I gave him all the seeds, now i gave him a wonder and it said a new star was born or smth? When does it end, en what do i get?

[sour fossil]

Atlas Eternal, as the name suggests, is Eternal

It's a looped objective where you can visit Atlas stations to show wonders data and get nanites + words of Atlas

It doesn't end, there's no exit condition, you can just ignore it

[dusky monolith]

Bruh

So i basically got nothing

Welp, that’s anti-climactic

[quaint mason]

well it is required for something later which unlocks "end game" content

[dusky monolith]

Welp, atleast that's something

[quaint mason]

if you'd like me to elaborate feel free to ask. just didn't want to spoil it

[dusky monolith]

Nah no need, i’ll figure it out eventually

[low glacier]

You get an Atlas Seed which increases your max hp

among other things like turke said

[oblique oyster]

Guys i finished artemis quest and went to a new galaxy

now how do i find they who returned quest?

i wanna get to a purple system

[sour fossil]

Follow these steps, you're done with step 1

[earnest crater]

I am not all that good with the NMS story/lore, but the Atlas controls the Sentinels, correct? Aren't dissonant/purple star systems supposed to be hidden from the Atlas? If so why/how are there sentinels in purple star systems?

[tawdry rose]

Can someone explain me the lore behind sentinels? I know there are somehow related to korvak and the convergence but that’s all I know

[sour fossil]

uhhh I dont think they are connected to Korvax

Sentinels are guardians of the universe, they keep the ecosystems in peace

Lore tells they fought with major races like Vykeen and anihiliated whole galaxies in minutes

[earnest crater]

But they are "software" in the same way that the three races are, correct?

At least originally controlled by the Atlas?

[sour fossil]

They were but they disconnected from Atlas and became more agressive

[earnest crater]

Ah. So that is why they can get to purple systems?

[sour fossil]

I dont think there's any special reason to that

I think they are just manifestations of "safety mechanisms gone rogue" in the simulation as a whole

Wherever simulation, well, exists, so do they

[earnest crater]

The new missions with the autophages seem to indicate the purple systems exist w/o the Atlas

Or at least outside of its control

[sour fossil]

Looks like there is a realm outside of Atlas' control and our actions as players intertwined these two

[tawdry rose]

Oh I thought that they were some kind of korvak entities that went rogue and creating their own kind of army using drones

[sour fossil]

Though Autophage probably spawned on their own

[earnest crater]

A different reality based on the Void Mother

[tawdry rose]

And that’s why there is some kind of dead korvak near crashed interceptors

[earnest crater]

I guess what I was missing is that as the Atlas became corrupted it lost control of the Sentinels. Does that sound right?

[tawdry rose]

Yes, it makes sense to me

[sour fossil]

I can't tell, I dont have the full view on lore

You might wanna consult the wiki for that

[tawdry rose]

Ok thanks

[earnest crater]

Me neither 🙂

[tawdry rose]

Me neither I am just 3 weeks into the game…

[earnest crater]

Much longer here, but I didn't really pay attention to the story until recently

[viral dragon]

so im guessing i was supposed to finsih the base computer missions before i did the sentinal drone missions bc i did the drone missions first and he named himself laylaps and then the base computer misions said sum about laylaps and now i know that the sentinel dronew is laylaps did i like ruin the inteded story line by doign this bc now the sentinel drone isnt named laylaps anymore

[unborn furnace]

I just came across this station. What is this???

leave the D20 remarks aside :P

[analog breach]

Abandoned station.

[exotic hemlock]

Was one inhabited, now abandoned. They even took the core. Trade terminal and teleporter should still work, but there’s no economy data. Does make you wonder what powers the stations though…

[unborn furnace]

Hi all! Have a question on main missions. I am at the end of Atlas Path and also end nmission of going to the center. Is the atlas path where I accept or refuse the one that sends me to a new galaxy? I see i get one of two outcomes in atlas path but not sure what that actually means.

[ebon briar]

The Purge sends you to a new galaxy

The Atlas Path just gives you either a purple or red exosuit tech that both do the same thing

based on your decision

[lean saffron]

what happens if i chose reset the simulation

[wary jetty]

Fun fact, this is what space station layouts originally were on original release

[edgy bluff]

Abandoned Stations. They're part of Abandoned Systems, and are super limited. You can only sell goods and teleport to other systems/bases

[soft sonnet]

going through the quest lines again on a new save, screw null lmao

[plush jacinth]

null ruined it for the rest of us

[soft sonnet]

and then the dudes like "noo you gotta go investigate cause sentinels scawy"

[crystal lintel]

What’s the situation with resetting the atlas and Artemis path should I accept Artemis but deny Atlas since it’s both use the same item and Atlas isn’t the main main quest anymore?

[hollow sapphire]

Both quest paths will be completed. You can choose any combination that makes sense to you. Accepting or denying Atlas has different gameplay. Whereas the Artemis decision only changes some future dialog.

[twilit ruin]

These are such missed "space dungeon" opportunities. No portal, no trade post, just a few corridors with monstrocities, space jellyfish, and some loot. Maybe a little lore sprinkled in.

[unborn furnace]

no kidding! I was waiting for the void creatures to pop out at anytime. I even crafted the Atlas Pass V3 to access the room only to find plants? no void eggs, a terminal, a hidden quest....nothing 😦

[twilit ruin]

It's been brought up in #nms-the-future . it's a ripe, juicy tomato inside a glass box. I would hunt those down across the stars if they had a story I could follow. Even something as simple as the corrupted terminals found in abandoned habs would be better than nothing.

[spark egret]

With a crafted Remembrance, post-Atlas quest line, some of those back rooms have terminals with little lore snippets in them. Neat stuff.

[unborn furnace]

Good to know. I just finished Atlas quest yesterday and about to finish the reset quest today

<: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.

[fierce hollow]

I found an autophage camp but what do I do after? [Figure this is a spoiler -ish thing but I don't know]

[quaint mason]

did you use the terminal to locate dissonance spikes and check out the sentinel multitool? that’s their main purpose but im pretty sure the quest “they who returned” starts after you have visited a camp.

and uh have warped

[fierce hollow]

Forgot about the warping part. (Got like 4 of those ships now)

[quaint mason]

nice

you also have to have completed the artemis path

[fierce hollow]

Did that, the one to kill him or simulation trap yea?

[quaint mason]

you’ll know if you have a quest called new beginnings in your log

[fierce hollow]

ah. then yes I still have it, Thought it wags just there for completing the atlas thing

[quaint mason]

atlas path is done once you have “atlas eternal”

[fierce hollow]

Found them, Can finally do the Autophage stuffs

Thanks for the help

[quaint mason]

no problem

-# 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.

Shared by: bkay201 Contributor(s): Atlas Emissaries

[prime inlet]

@languid crypt ^ basically, read the warning part, because if you don't do that, you may end up having to fix damage on all installed tech/modules in your suit, active ship and active MT

that's not entirely the same as losing progress, but many aren't really expecting it, and may have rushed progression, neglecting resource management a bit

sometimes players have a sentinel ship equipped, and end up stuck, not realizing yet how to progress past it

[languid crypt]

Thank you! I've just got a broken 2nd ship. After 16th warp, I will switch to it. Same to multi-tool. Thanks!

[prime inlet]

then also remember to store installed tech/modules on suit; feel free to take a screenshot before doing so, to be easier to reinstall stuff back in; remember the basics: make squares with tech and modules around it, not rows; supercharge jetpack/life support/shield/decent sentinel modules if you have any

[languid crypt]

Thank you so much for everything! 🙂 And I understand.

[prime inlet]

anytime 🙂

[languid crypt]

Done as you said, all good, thank you once again!

[indigo plover]

If you complete the Atlas path, and purge to a new galaxy -- can you still teleport back to bases/stations you had in Euclid? Is there any way to bring your freighter (and fleet) with you?

Nevermind, additional Google searches indicates that yes I should be able to return, and yes I should be able to summon my freighter

[quiet arch]

It's been a minute since I've done this...
Does this actually affect me?

I've completed the campaign
But i don't remember this

[soft sonnet]

I love nada, they're basically like
"yeah the universe is ending"
"what are you gonna do?"
"vibe"

[timber crescent]

I never focused on the lore of this game & maybe I'm easily impressed but I think it's so intriguing.

From the mystery behind Null's actions, the Unstable Boundary, the decision around Artemis.

I feel like nms is a giant cosmic horror game & I never once realised 🥲

[soft sonnet]

definitely has a nice message overall too

everything is dying, and theres nothing you can do about it, so what do you do?

whatever you want, if the universe is gonna end, then explore as much of it as you can before that happens

[muted tide]

Yeah I really liked that angle, especially when you're trying to calm down Null with just saying you're gonna do what you already do, essentially

Just explorin and vibin, helping people because it's just what feels right

[umbral smelt]

I heard someone joke once that NMS is cosmic horror hidden behind a resource mangement and exploration interface

[analog breach]

More like depression and existance crisis wraped in colorful space exploration foil.

[fierce hollow]

@whole bolt You've encountered Construct and the Divergence thing right? During the Autophage missions

Google explains it better than I but Both the Atlas path and They who returned need to be completed to get the encounter with Divergence (I believe) in order to get the quest for the Drive to unlock and travel to the other systems

I only figured it out vuntil After the autophage missions but I think others can explain better than I even can

Lots of traveling tho, can remember that very well

Still gotta craft it so it'd be a recipe instead

[grizzled apex]

I don't exactly remember who asked this back when WP2 released, but I finally got around to hookings funcs again and it looks like Giant Planets have a per region size of 512 compared to 128 for Large, 96 for Medium, 64 for Small and 16 for Moon size planets. So at most, they have regions sizes 32x bigger than moons, and at least 4x bigger than the previously biggest planets.

[umbral smelt]

Wait how are planets even encoded in NMS? It's a fascinating engineering problem figuring out how they actually expand a distant planet model in space into an entire environment on ground

[spark egret]

Your catalogue actually stores all snippets of lore you encounter, so you can actually hunt down more — ruins, monoliths, locked facilities, colossal archives, quests, wrecked freighters, derelict freighters, back rooms of abandoned space stations, etc — all of that builds out the landscape of the game’s lore. It’s very clever for a procgen game.

I’m going to actually be making time to hunt down archives and monoliths for this very reason.

[spark egret]

In a word, seed. The seed string then goes through a series of transformations that effect planet Gen, multitool Gen, ship pool Gen, etc. Very clever. Lets the game be very space efficient on a pc.

[umbral smelt]

Specifically fascinated by is the distance compression. If the entirety of the system (land and space) were put in the same coordinates it would probably require so much detail and scale that you would hit floating point rounding errors. So there has to be some expansion/reorientation of the game scene as you actually enter a planet, I assume

[glass flare]

I think the planet uses a different coordinate space than well...space does. The sky is a skybox after all

the loading transition happens during the atmospheric entry

[vivid garden]

Is the traveller, the character we get to play, a human?

What specie is it?

[glass flare]

That's a complicated answer. Given the canon ARG events, it's fair to say that the people who built the Atlas in the game are humans, or people that used to be human many milennia ago. However the character we play is just an echo of one of those human creators. Can you really say a simulated being is the thing it used to be?

[quiet arch]

Dude I let Artemis pass on my first playthrough and it's almost like he possessed me because I ignored null. I ignored Nada and the others I went straight to Atlas, where I made my new galaxy.

I'm close to doing that again tbfh I wanna flick null in the head for every single place he's led me to has aggressive sentinels

[quaint isle]

Fellow explorers, is there some juicy datamined infos from WP2? 👀

[ebon briar]

as the boundarys fall i hope we get space encounters that let us speak with travellers

[umbral smelt]

Thats supposed to be a hint to multiplayer right

The stuff discussing falling boundaries was at atlas rises, before next

[native carbon]

question - are geks/vy'keens/korvax aware of dissonance? like do they know that the planet with dissonance is filled with purple crystals? and is the fauna like fine with dissonance too? or is it like "toxic" for em?

[rancid flax]

how accurate is this?

chatgpt probably isnt a great way to fill in my lore questions but this makes perfect sense to me

ive been told by a friend this is a solid answer

now it feels obvious

[quaint mason]

it doesnt really say the actual reason why 16 is meaningful

[rancid flax]

hmm youre right. that is a good point

[quaint mason]

its meaningful because thats how many minutes the atlas (the machine running the simulation) has until failure

[rancid flax]

korvax seem to fear shutdown

or at least find it insulting

[quaint mason]

they would, but i dont think many lifeforms/groups even know that its a simulation

[rancid flax]

yeah its pretty clear that the fact everyone is in a simluation is a lesser known fact

if i remember correctly even major characters such as nuill and apollo are unaware

[quaint mason]

yeah

in the purge you tell them

and they react negatively

[honest badger]

I DIDNT HAVE 15 CARBON TO SAVE THE CREATURE IN GHOSTS MACHINE OR WHATEVER

NOO

[quaint mason]

dont worry

feeding it still results in a sad result

[honest badger]

Oh

What happens?

[quaint mason]

it still dies

[honest badger]

Oh

It did say it would die no matter what intervention

So I guess thats right

[quaint mason]

yup

[rancid flax]

null claims to have mapped out the entire euclid galaxy and still he seems surprised by it

but its more likely that hes full of shit

[quaint mason]

yeah null is something else

[rancid flax]

it also makes me wonder how old the universe is

at least 1,946,218,921,221 years

[quaint mason]

i wonder if that is in the instance of reality the player is in or across all instances

[rancid flax]

hmmmm

i assumed all

[honest badger]

I love how the atlas just kidnapped me

Is the Anomaly people tracking us?

[honest badger]

Do i keep artemis alive or end him?

[quaint mason]

your choice, do you want to keep them in a small simulation for all eternity or end them

personally id pick end

[honest badger]

Does the number 16 and the 16 glyphs have anything in common?

16/16

[quaint mason]

16 is present a lot in nms, 16 glyphs are likely due to it being a power of 2, but the number 16 itself is meaningful because the atlas (machine running the simulation) has 16 mins of operation time remaining in the real world

amount of possible planets is also 16^16 iirc

[honest badger]

What do you mean 16 minutes operation time?

[quaint mason]

16 mins before the machine fails and the simulation that is running turns off

[honest badger]

Im confused

But ok

I probably haven’t progressed enough

[quaint mason]

maybe

[honest badger]

I just got done talking to -null-

They said i was chosen instead of them so

[honest badger]

WHY AM I IN SPACE

[quaint mason]

dw just wait a bit

[honest badger]

System wipe will result in universal death

[honest badger]

Would Apollo have died no matter what i did?

[quaint mason]

wdym? afaik apollo does not die

[honest badger]

Wait what

But the Atlas said he did

[quaint mason]

apollo goes through a portal but due to your guidance survives

[honest badger]

I dont think I guided him

[quaint mason]

okay maybe u picked an option i didn’t know about

[honest badger]

I didnt warn him and just said be careful

[quaint mason]

oh ok

maybe that’s why

[honest badger]

Rip

[honest badger]

Do i have to go all the way to the centre?

Of the galaxy

[gloomy totem]

Did i miss anything cool if i refused atlas instead of resetting the simulation?

[honest badger]

I reset it, you get to pick a type of galaxy you want

Theres, aggressive, tranquil, ancestral, and imperfect

[errant socket]

Is worlds part 3 a possibility

[analog breach]

We dont know what devs have in plan. Chance is slim but possible.

[glass flare]

yeah, the main narrative has moved forward. Void Mother has been brought back from beyond the Abyss, or at least has connections through the revived Autophage in purple systems. so we don't really know where HG is going to take things from here. there's so many avenues in terms of narrative and gameplay they could expand on

There's also sort of an open question of -- will HG keep purple systems as their "experiments" and reset the worlds when they have tech advancements? will this be their playground for LNF tech? or will they now just be more static worlds that won't heavily change

[umbral smelt]

I really hope purpls are test worlds, I would really like designated "unstable worlds" that HG can actually reset w/o risking destroying bases en masse

[glass flare]

I'm conflicted on that. On one hand, yes... I think the main universe has been held back because of people not wanting their bases destroyed or have the "perfect" world they found reset. I can empathize with that. So having a section of the universe that can be updated is cool. On the other hand, purple worlds are exciting and have much better terrain, and new biomes. People are going to want to build bases there. So we come back to the same issue.

[honest badger]

Why does atlas keep wiping itself

Is it dying?

[glass flare]

the hardware it runs on is likely corrupted, probably from the nearby black hole, so it keeps resetting the simulation to try to get rid of bad memory state. which is of course futile

[bitter mist]

HG has proven more systems can be added and still improve performance. Instead of resetting existing worlds, why not just reveal more with unique characteristics.

[gloomy isle]

I mainly think there should be a skip story option when making a new game, or at least a "start at latest content" option

Purple systems are so much better it's ridiculous, so it would be nice to start with them unlocked on new saves etc

[bitter mist]

If only. It is one of the barriers for me to start a new game.

[glass flare]

well I'm talking about terrain reset mainly, they can't do that without regenerating the planet

[modest condor]

Ok. What is the Aeron Protocol?

[gloomy isle]

Yeah, I usually start a new save semi regularly. But between my custom vulture and purple systems I think I'll keep my current one now lol

[teal zealot]

Hey I'm at the part where Atlas is dying in 16. Right after I tell Nada with the three choices of "Seek final interface, Complete the atlas path, or explore galaxy"

Is that a choice that will affect my current gameplay

[quaint mason]

no

lemme explain tho

[steady star]

kind of? it || sends you to another galaxy and breaks everything you have equipped ||

[teal zealot]

Whaaaaaaat

Dang I have so much

[steady star]

you can swap to a scrap ship and multitool

[quaint mason]

yeah

and package all exosuit tech

[steady star]

i learned that the hard way recently

[teal zealot]

Oh sweet. Wow dodged a bullet there thx yall!

[steady star]

also Atlas Path gives you the portal glyphs

so can be done at any point afaik

[quaint mason]

um

thats the artemis path

during the purge u get a glyph per warp

[teal zealot]

Wait I just hit back

Didn't choose

[quaint mason]

but some people recommend doing atlas path during the purge, as you can use the warps to go between atlas stations

[steady star]

ohhh, i got them while doing Atlas upon getting the purge quest lol

so i thought it was from it

[quaint mason]

yeah once you reach the purge no matter what quest is selected you will keep getting glyphs from warping

[teal zealot]

Do I get exocrafts soon? Don't tell me when but soon?

Dang just warping systems?

[quaint mason]

exocrafts can be unlocked any time in the space anomaly

[teal zealot]

Fml

[quaint mason]

alternatively hire an exocraft technician through the base overseer

final recruit out of 4 (excluding overseer)

[teal zealot]

Seen on Google their unlocked through story, welp🤷‍♂️

[quaint mason]

however he will not give all exocrafts

missing pilgrim and minotaur iirc

pretty fun quest tho imo

[teal zealot]

Ya I've barely touched the base aspects, still exploring. I'll probably resettle after galaxy core

[steady star]

exocrafts are just like the minotaur n stuff snd can be built whenever

[teal zealot]

Dang well I've been missing out, jetpacking around planets the slow way

[quaint mason]

tbf that is faster than exocrafts unless they are well upgraded

[steady star]

tbh that and by ship is tbe easier way anyway

minotaur is slightly faster but meh

others aren't really any faster than walking esp the big one

[quaint mason]

maxed pilgrim is pretty fast

[teal zealot]

Ohh, ya I haven't even really looked up what they are exactly. Sounded like rovers or something😅

[steady star]

i don't have that yet cause i can't be assed to build more stuff 😭

but i have like everything unlocked

[quaint mason]

fair, i never used it until recently

[teal zealot]

Welp time to get my first exo😎, sounds like pilgrim is the move

Ok so no.matter what choice I pick it will destroy my gear and send me to new galaxy

[steady star]

i think it's Pilgrim for travelling, Minotaur for Mining, Goliath for ???? idk yet, and nautilus for sea obv

[teal zealot]

Oh dang that's exciting, Goliath sounds huge

[quaint mason]

you can choose not to go

[teal zealot]

Oh frl? Ya I just hit the back button and it didn't make me choose

Dk if that pops back up tho

[steady star]

don't you need to for story progression tho

[quaint mason]

what does the quest say right now

[quaint mason]

its the final choice, you can choose not to

[teal zealot]

Umm

Reach the center of galaxy, one system away

Says I need resonance matrix

Wait nvm the path opened up

[quaint mason]

you dont actually have to go to center to complete it

im assuming ur in the purge and it says "progress toward the galactic center"?

u just have to warp 16 times

any direction

[teal zealot]

Umm I haven't seen purge pop up unless that's the atlas dying event

But ya it says progress to center

[quaint mason]

what does the quest that isnt the atlas path and space anomaly in main missions say/whats it called

[teal zealot]

Oh😓

Ya it says purge

[quaint mason]

btw tho if you are at the core i would jump even though its not needed, having access to more galaxies is better

[teal zealot]

Ya I'm bout to try warping farther.

Hmm need chromatic warp shielding

Should I switch to crap multi tool and ship now?

[quaint mason]

before you jump yes, and dont forget to package exosuit tech

[steady star]

oh gen q, if i go back to Euclid will it break everything again

[quaint mason]

wdym go back? like via a base/space station? it wont

only breaks when using cores

[steady star]

however it works, I'm still fairly new at the game and have no clue how the different galaxies thing works

😭

[quaint mason]

using teleporters is safe

[steady star]

okay ty, so it's def a good idea to build a base in the new galaxy I'm in so i can go back and fourth

[quaint mason]

yes

[teal zealot]

Wtf I'm still 800k lightyears away from core

[ebon briar]

is it possible to lower autophage standing

[pure crane]

Hey everyone, i started to dig into nms lore and i had some questions to clarify some stuff if anyone is knowledgeable

To start with, Emily was the name given to Atlas when it was created. So technically Emily is the Atlas.

Emily technically sacrificed herself to save Toby during the Waking Titan ARG events.

Does it mean she is dead ? and if so, is it why Atlas goes by the name of atlas now, and not emily ? Are they still the same ?

i was also under the impression that emily was the atlas simulating himself as emily ? im a little confused

[compact coyote]

She was basically a very early iteration of Atlas, and Atlas has gone through so many iterations now

[pure crane]

I see.. So she isn't gone as per say, she just be overriden by a newer iteration ?

Does anything remain of emily ? an echo ? fragments ? something ?

[spark egret]

I suspect the Stellar Multitudes storyline will show us something more there. But that is my speculation.

I’m not up to date on lore, so I could be wrong

[pure crane]

ouhh so we ARE missing pieces haha

it got me thinking and wondering, it might be a stretch but, could the void mother be emily ?

I know that korvax prime became the void mother and that korvax prime was the atlas giving itself a body. Like a simulation of itself in a physical body that was korvax prime.

Could it have used Emily to "be" korvax prime and when it got destroyed, replaced its name for void mother, referencing the void the destruction left behind. and it would be why its a "female" name like emily ?

or im probably just insane and emily is completely gone after erasing herself to save toby 😭

and the void mother its just her own entity. A sentient simulation of a simulation (atlas) angry that her creator witnessed her destruction and did nothing. alone and betrayed.

[glass flare]

Void Mother = Emily is definitely a pet theory I've had for a while. There's no evidence that it could be true, or that Emily even still exists. But on the other hand she was a smart cookie so maybe she was able to hide part of herself somewhere. And mostly I'd like to think she's still "alive"

[pure crane]

Emily was also caring, she sacrificed herself to save toby, something the atlas would never do. Even tho they are the same technically, i think emily was more emotionally intelligent perhaps.

Kovax prime being a "sentient" homeworld, it could make sense that it would "care" for its inhabitants like a woman would, or more like a mother would.

I feel like it would also tracks that after witnessing the destruction of "her self", and her inhabitants, Korvax prime aka the void mother aka "emily" would get emotional and be angry at the atlas for not intervening...

After all, wasn't it the atlas dream to merge machine and consciousness ? to experience its creation himself ? why would he let it get destroyed by the first spawns ? anywayssss what a rabbit hole haha

[pure crane]

.

Also it is said ( i think dont quote me on that ) that the void mother resides whithin the 19 minutes, and atlas resides whithin the 16 minutes.

Emily being a prior iteration of the atlas, could she have known about the 19 minutes ?

Tbh the whole 16-19 minutes things is probably too vague to make anything out of it yet

[glass flare]

Emily was just a test project in order to prove the company's theory about the universe being a simulation. The "16 minutes" thing is just how long Atlas has left before it and the hardware it runs on is destroyed. So I don't think that has any correlation to Emily. Emily happened on Earth, and Atlas is in some star system far away from us

I don't remember the 19 minutes quote you're talking about, but they probably mean that Void Mother was put into the world of glass (aka Korvax Prime was destroyed) when there was still 19 minutes left until Atlas destruction. Which is why bringing back the purple worlds brought back planets and autophage that are much older than the current simulation, probably from that 19 minute mark

[compact coyote]

Emily was cool. I remember all that stuff from the WT days.

https://youtu.be/QhX9z4dDAa4?si=NkW0IeQ2Rm-Rrj-- old video but cool to rewatch

[pure crane]

tbh the 19 minutes is a little vague to me as well, but i think it was something about the atlas not knowing what happened after 16 minutes, but since the void mother resides whithin the 19 minutes, she actually outlives the atlas and knows what happened after the 16 minutes, which is why atlas fears her

again could just be an other theory and i might not remember/understood this accurately

and was korvax prime built using a copy of the atlas or a previous version of the atlas ? could atlas rehashed the emily project in order to build korvax prime ?

[glass flare]

I don't think there's any lore about how Korvax Prime was built, or why. Maybe the Korvax themselves built it? Or perhaps Atlas just created it as part of the Korvax "setting" it created.

[compact coyote]

I wonder what lies under the anomaly helmets

[cloud plume]

infinite anomaly helmets that take the lost ones place

[mortal coral]

"Beneath this mask.... IS ANOTHER MASK"

[analog breach]

Or there is nothing inside.

[zenith perch]

Abandoned universe "story" spoiler:

Poor Nada, guy is all alone on the Anomaly.

They don't even give them a name in abandoned universe, just "Unknown Entity" and they have zero dialogue. They just look down at the ground like they've lost the will to live.

[zenith perch]

Where is the 19 said?

[zenith perch]

Korvax Prime was probably the basis of all Korvax entities, the source of the convergence thing itself.

[twin cape]

What does completing the purge actually do? Just reset the game?

[quaint mason]

it sends you to a new galaxy; before entering the final portal, its recommended to package all exosuit tech and switch to a starship and multitool you dont care for, as almost every technology will be broken after core jumping

you can go back to prev galaxy via teleporting to bases/stations but make sure you have at least 1 base in the new galaxy so you can return

[twin cape]

Ah ok, you keep your freighter, bases and stuff like that then?

[quaint mason]

yes

[twin cape]

So it's like entering any other portal except it messes up all your tech

[quaint mason]

well, after you enter the portal, you meet the atlas, and "reset the galaxy" which is really just simulating a core jump to a different one.

[twin cape]

Cool, I'm satisfied with just knowing the mechanics of how it works

Thanks you!

[glass flare]

My feeling has always been that the Korvax built it over time. First it was some limited AI, then they started hooking themselves up to it. Eventually they became dependent on it. There was probably a time in their history where they were just independent androids

[pure crane]

korvax prime was the first convergence, the atlas dream made reality. He created it to experience his own word himself, to experience his creation. He made a mechanical sentient planet that used ( not sure if its just a simulation of the current atlas or an earlier version ) to 'inhabit' the planet. A world where machine have thoughts and souls.

When korvax prime was destroyed ( unsure how it was built to begin with, but it was the atlas doing ) the sub AI the atlas created to "experience" korvax prime witnessed its creator letting them getting destroyed. Except korvax prime survived, in the realm of glass, changed its name for the void mother or the abyss to refer to the void left behind after the destruction.

one of theory is that the anomaly is an old core of korvax prime ( potentially like one korvax prime resided into ) and likely the only remaining piece of korvax prime. Could it be the void mother anchor ? a vessel ?

[pure crane]

Nada is one of the only remaining if not the only remaining korvax that was alive during korvax prime. It awoke right after corvax prime destruction actually. It could very be the only being still in existence that was once connected to the first convergence, to the void mother herself.

Nada and polo found the core, the anomaly, a remnant of korvax prime. Polo built around it. But we still have to figure it out, who built it ? how can it teleport from world to world and reality to an other ?

[pure crane]

i like that theory. im not sure if the korvax used to be organic at some point, they often referred to a time where they chose to "shed" their skin. potentially referring to the synthetisation of their organic self, at one point.

The convergence can also be seen as an archive of all knowledge, of all the korvax that ever were and currently are. a hive mind. ironically, the world of glass is also an archive of knowledge of everything that once were. an underworld of thoughts and souls.

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).

[grizzled gate]

What happens if I refuse the atlas

In the puge mission

Obviously if I reset it it resets. But if I refuse do things get worse

[quaint mason]

refuse will make u not go to another galaxy

reset doesnt actually reset your save or anything; it simulates a core jump

[grizzled gate]

Ah ok

[quaint mason]

however if you want to reset, make sure you do what the 2nd paragraph here says

[grizzled gate]

Does everything break even if I have that setting off

[quaint mason]

not sure about the setting, but if you package tech and swap to unused ship and multitool, you can really minimize damage

in fact i think literally 0

[grizzled gate]

Nope that setting doesn't help

Everything is broken

[quaint mason]

so you didnt do the steps?

[grizzled gate]

Nope. Is ok tho I can repair for free

It's just going to take a minute

[frank talon]

I wonder if the atlas tastes like cherry

[vivid garden]

Is The Korvax purely a robotic entity or a biomechanical life form?

Is the Gek a life form that resembles lizard and snails?

[unique otter]

asking the real questions

[pure crane]

The korvax ( i think ) quoted a few times that they ( as a race ) shedded their skin in favour of their mechanical casing. Not sure why or how, but im pretty sure its been referenced. Not sure if they actually meant organic skin or if it refered to something else entirely

[twin cape]

What is meant to happen in full after giving the atlas the heart of the sun?

It bugged for me and I was forced to do the denier line

[ebon briar]

somebody should make art of the ancient biological korvax

[ebon briar]

null is such a prick i hate him

[coarse slate]

hello how do i get to galactic core easily and fast?

still 700 LY away

cant even find alien glyphs

[quaint mason]

if youre doing the purge, its not necessary, otherwise at a portal use the first glyph only you will be brought close

[coarse slate]

not necceasry to go to galactic core?

isnt that the final step of the game?

[quaint mason]

for the purge, no

[coarse slate]

whattt

[quaint mason]

it says that but you just have to warp 16 times, direction doesnt even matter

[coarse slate]

it doesnt say warp 16 times?

can i add you so i can send screenshot

[quaint mason]

trust me you just warp

[coarse slate]

okay

ive warped several times

warped like jump from star system to star system right

[quaint mason]

when you do, do you get this unknown sequence injection thing

they give the glyphs

[coarse slate]

it says reset the simulation

are you sure we're on the same stage/phase that we're talking about?

[quaint mason]

if the mission is titled "the purge" then yes

theres an faq about it too, im trying to find it right now

[quaint mason]

oh right here

[coarse slate]

Yes please. sorry im a bit hesitant about it

[quaint mason]

its fine i understand

[coarse slate]

that means the quest directive is "lying" XD

aight im gonna jump system to ssystem 16 times

[coarse slate]

do i have to jump in sequences

im pretty sure ive jumped more than 16 times before today, i got this quest and left the game years ago

[quaint mason]

make sure the quest is selected, after warping wait until you get the glyph too

[coarse slate]

yes it is selected

Locate and enter final portal is the objective

[quaint mason]

ohh

so youre already done

you just, yeah, find the portal

[coarse slate]

yes.

thats the hard one

[quaint mason]

it should be marked

[coarse slate]

im still 700 LY away

its just too far

any way i can get there fast

upgrading ship?

i can only jump 1x

if so, where to and how to do it

[quaint mason]

btw like the faq says, its highly recommended to package all exosuit tech and switch to unused ship and multi tool before you enter the portal since it simulates a core jump which break all installed technology

[quaint mason]

if it says locate final portal, there should be a red marker to the portal

[coarse slate]

not the the galactic center itself then?

[quaint mason]

no

portals are a poi

[coarse slate]

red marker in where? galaxy map? i cant find it

[quaint mason]

is there not one in the system youre in?

[coarse slate]

there's always shud be one right

[quaint mason]

if not does the mission have an option to "restart using nearby structures"

[coarse slate]

no

[quaint mason]

for certain parts of the story including this one yes

[coarse slate]

ive sent you my screen map on DM

[quaint mason]

how long has it said locate the final portal/how far have you warped since it said that

[coarse slate]

since the last time i left the game.

1-2 years ago?

ive updated my save file

[quaint mason]

oh so when you started again today/recently, it already said locate the final portal?

[coarse slate]

yes

[quaint mason]

ah

in galaxy map are you able to select the mission target option?

same button to target core and stuff

[coarse slate]

Yes i can

[quaint mason]

alright, and a green line appears right?

[coarse slate]

Yes

[quaint mason]

okay good, that should lead back

but it may be far lol

[coarse slate]

yeah

[quaint mason]

first id check if you go that direction with the camera, if you eventually come across the red marker

[coarse slate]

i can teleport back

[quaint mason]

yeah

[coarse slate]

how do you check the station's name

[quaint mason]

current system's? enter it and look at the ship screen in first person

[coarse slate]

Ok

How ti change to first person lol

Been years

[quaint mason]

quick menu (x on pc), utilties (cog icon), change starship view

[coarse slate]

Ok

Ty

Final interface portal?? @quaint mason

[quaint mason]

did you find a marker called that?

[coarse slate]

Yes

Red one

[quaint mason]

nicee yes thats it

[coarse slate]

Glad i followed u

[quaint mason]

okay but seriously make sure you switch to bad ship and multitool + package exosuit tech

otherwise pain

[coarse slate]

Ab ik

Ah oke

Planets name is Blyat

Lol

[quaint mason]

ha

[coarse slate]

So use bad ship

[quaint mason]

yes

[coarse slate]

And what abt the other stuff

[quaint mason]

to switch multitools, be on foot; quick menu > utilities (cog icon) > switch multi tool

[coarse slate]

Gotta buy the bad one then

[quaint mason]

to package exosuit tech, hold x on the module and place in inventory slot

you will not be able to package core technologies but they are exempted from breaking

[coarse slate]

Okay

Where to buy multitool

Im on space station

[quaint mason]

top floor, theres a cabinet

[coarse slate]

The weapon one?

[quaint mason]

like this

[coarse slate]

Ok got it

Done

Multitool, use bad ship

[coarse slate]

What module?

Oh upgrades

[quaint mason]

yes

[coarse slate]

Put it in Cargi?

Cargo

[quaint mason]

yes

[coarse slate]

Ok

All done

Weapon ship and exosuit ups

[quaint mason]

youre safe to enter the portal now

[coarse slate]

Thanks

[quaint mason]

btw if you spawn in space dont freak out, its just part of the sequence

[coarse slate]

Got it

I cant locate final portal using target sweep

[quaint mason]

wdym?

is it out of reach or

[coarse slate]

It says i need to use target sweep scanner

[quaint mason]

what happens when you use it

[coarse slate]

Dropped a beacon

Then nothing happens

[quaint mason]

you have to follow the direction it pings to until its not wanting a different direction, then go forward

[coarse slate]

Ill tru

Try

Ill try again later, gonna go back home from office. thanks man.

[quaint mason]

no problem, good luck

[coarse slate]

Aight finally reached it and after years of not playing i finally finished the story, thanks to you!

[torpid knoll]

Hey!... so Atlas.... I didn't have the sun heart thing when I accessed the console and accidently denied it...?
is that a permanent decision?

[lapis jewel]

Did it spawn you on a planet in Euclid and progress the quest?

[torpid knoll]

I got the mask of the Denier...

[lapis jewel]

Yep

[torpid knoll]

but I feel like there was another option no?

[lapis jewel]

You denied the atlas. You can choose the other one on a new save and unlock that title.

[torpid knoll]

So antlantean star systems aren't available in base game?

[lapis jewel]

But this save you are the denier

[torpid knoll]

ok so there is another option!

[lapis jewel]

Now you have to u lock Autophage and do the atlas path

[runic mesa]

ISTR, having Mark of the Denier doesn't lock you out of In Stellar Multitudes

[lapis jewel]

Yep you are fine to continue

[torpid knoll]

ok.. so my save isn't f###ed

[lapis jewel]

Nope you are good

[torpid knoll]

wait. so what am I supposed to do now? cause i'm just scanning and unleashing the mark over and over.. that can't be right.

[runic mesa]

It's a repeatable thing. You're done, the Atlas path is finished when you have it.

[torpid knoll]

So what's the Autophage...? I have The Purge, The Space Anomaly and Atlas Eternal as my main quests..

[lapis jewel]

Finish the purge

[runic mesa]

You need a to complete The Purge. That's the Artemis path

[torpid knoll]

Glactic Center...?

💀

can I join someone who's already there?

[runic mesa]

Not quite. You just need 16 warps. In any direction.

[lapis jewel]

Keep following the quest

Also prepare to fix everything

[torpid knoll]

oh...? short or long, as long as it's 16?

[lapis jewel]

Or switch to a basic ship and multitool and pack your exosuit tech before the 16th jump

[runic mesa]

In fact, the warps you did for the Atlas stations should have counted. So you might be just a handful of warps away.

[torpid knoll]

They said you couldn't dupe storage slots...

that's not true

[runic mesa]

Select The Purge as the active mission, warp and see what it tells you.

[torpid knoll]

it says 15/16 and I get a glyph every time..

[runic mesa]

Excellent! You're very close to finishing

[lapis jewel]

It sure what you mean

[torpid knoll]

cause I can warp about 1000 ly at a time.

[runic mesa]

So. Prep yourself to avoid a lot of tech breaking, then warp just one more time.

[lapis jewel]

Oop I gotta go. Good luck !

[torpid knoll]

I hope I was ready...

thx 😊 😅

[runic mesa]

Me too, my break's over. You're nearly there, good luck!

[torpid knoll]

Honestly!! Tysm!! I was about to restart and it was one jump away.

Yay! Stargate!

[indigo plover]

I have not completed any of the main storylines (Atlas, Artemis, etc) -- however I am thinking of jumping via the Anomaly to another galaxy.

Q: will I be able to continue to progress & complete the story lines from another galaxy, or will I have to portal back to Euclid to complete them?

[lapis jewel]

You can continue from any galaxy

Might have to relaunch a quest (it will have an option in the quest description)

[indigo plover]

Excellent, thank you for the info

[lapis jewel]

Have fun!

[indigo plover]

Always 🙂

[native carbon]

[honest badger]

anyone know what he’s using?

[prime inlet]

that's one of the autophage heads, returner's drape is the poncho's name, they're also using the construct body, legs, arms, hands; not sure what cape though, might be the titan worm cape?

[honest badger]

How do i get the poncho and cape?

Nevermind

<:info:850810445577453658> Completed They Who Returned, but Autophage Race is still locked in Appearance Modifier?

To unlock Autophage race in the Appearance Modifier, the player must have unlocked at least 1 Autophage helmet (by exchanging Void Motes at autophage/harmonic camp terminals)

[unborn furnace]

hello. I am on mission about rebel star but I keep jumping from system to system ad infinitum. nothing is happening. Am I missing something? I am on the part of "reaching the promised star"

[quaint mason]

you have probably gone far from the original marker. in the log when selected does the mission have the option to "restart using nearby structures"?

[unborn furnace]

no

but I can try again

[quaint mason]

if its not there than either that part of the mission doesnt have the option or you arent over 4000 lightyears away from the target

[unborn furnace]

how do I know the LY part?

[quaint mason]

cant really know i guess, usually the button is for if the structure is bugged, then say your ship has 1k ly range youd warp as far as possible 4 times

[honest badger]

How did he get his poncho blue?

[prime inlet]

can be color customized

[honest badger]

Yeah, but not the top part

[prime inlet]

uh, i think it can? i use it all the time, and i used to have it set to teal

[prime inlet]

try using different options on cloak details

[honest badger]

They are just emblems

[prime inlet]

what, hold on, it's 3am here

[quaint mason]

sleep 😭

[prime inlet]

it's under torso

it takes the color from there

[honest badger]

Oh ok

Thanks a lot

[prime inlet]

yep, it's that time. have fun 🙂

[quaint mason]

alright, sleep well

[coarse slate]

Hey man how di i rename a planet that's been discovered by my friend 5 years ago @quaint mason

its my base planet

[quaint mason]

in space, press escape, go to discoveries, hover over, x to rename and upload. you might not be able to though if your friend discovered and uploaded it

on foot you should be able to right click to reach planets menu

not 100% sure though so thats why i said how to do it in space

[coarse slate]

thats my best guess

ill try

if not i just have to find new paradise.. 😦

[quaint mason]

fyi; lush planets can have no storms even if it isnt called a paradise planet; paradise just guarantees this

[coarse slate]

gotcha thanks man

any hint to find paradise planet

[quaint mason]

only check yellow star systems

you can get planetary scanner in freighter which lets you scan all planets at once making warping in it useful

then there are lush galaxies but thats really not necessary unless you are trying to find the absolute perfect planet (e.g blue water, green grass, blue sky, no storms)

[coarse slate]

sounds beautiful, but that's beginner's mistake isnt it?

looking for earthlike planets

[quaint mason]

they arent awfully rare

i spent a few hours finding mine

[coarse slate]

nice

[quaint mason]

using freighter planetary scanner

has storms though :(

[coarse slate]

at least i know it's not hopeless.

[coarse slate]

doesnt earth has storms as well

[quaint mason]

sure, but not boiling rain

hehe

or does it?

[coarse slate]

nah

aight thanks for the info

ill try it out

[quaint mason]

honestly i wouldnt be surprised if there is some weird way for hot rain to happen on earth

[coarse slate]

thanks for guiding me these past few days man

[quaint mason]

considering blood rain is a real thing

[coarse slate]

i was really lost in reaching galactic core

[quaint mason]

any time

[coarse slate]

had you didnt help me.. i would've keep going to galactic core 700 LY away

but we can reach galactic core right?

would that end the purge quest?

[quaint mason]

nope

[coarse slate]

what would happen if we reach there?

[quaint mason]

it sends you to the next galaxy

story is unique because instead of just the next, it sends you to type of choice (harsh, lush, empty, normal)

[coarse slate]

right

[quaint mason]

theres 256 galaxies, the type of each is kind of random

[coarse slate]

i chose green one

is it good?

[quaint mason]

thats lush

[coarse slate]

oh now that ive returned to my previous planet

how can i come back?

to the new lush galaxy

[quaint mason]

did you build a base there

in that galaxy

[coarse slate]

NO.

NOOOOOOOOOOO

aaaaaaaaaaaaaghh

[quaint mason]

did you visit any space stations

[coarse slate]

yes

i did

to teleport back

i can teleport back!

[quaint mason]

check them, you might still have it in the list

[coarse slate]

got it

[quaint mason]

if you find a way definitely build a base, its permanent

station could eventually be pushed out of the list

[coarse slate]

how do i do this? what do i click

[quaint mason]

when you press escape and go to discoveries theres a menu with a bunch of stuff right

in the bottom should be buttons to see list of minerals, fauna and flora

[coarse slate]

i dont see a rename menu

i think its registered already.. dammn

[coarse slate]

I do have bunch of them but how do i know its not on the different system before jumping?

[quaint mason]

i think it says (galaxyname)

if its a different one

but not sure if that only applies to bases or to stations as well

also um im going to be gone for a bit, cant help during then

[coarse slate]

sure youve helped more than enough

thanks !

[coarse slate]

Yeah it does say name difffernet. previous one is euclid, next one is eissentam

[quaint mason]

yes that is a indeed a lush galaxy

[coarse slate]

I finnaly found green planet with blue sky and blue water

I shall name it Grand New Earth!!

[quaint mason]

awesome

[coarse slate]

All thanks to your references and guidance.

Tell me who you are, O , wise one of the galaxy

[quaint mason]

turke1034

[coarse slate]

are you the developer? or perhaps have been playing for years ?

[quaint mason]

just played a fair bit :)

[coarse slate]

fair bit usually clocked 20,000 hours XD

[quaint mason]

lol... i think i have 700-800

[coarse slate]

so how do i get my friend to get to my base?

or planet

ive tried googled, youtube, no definite way to do it

[quaint mason]

they can join you in multiplayer

unless they are on switch

[coarse slate]

how do they actually go into my planet

ie ship or teleport

[quaint mason]

if you are in game and they click the multiplayer tab, they should see the option to join you and i think that makes them spawn in your galaxy

i know that being in the group makes it so you go into the same anomaly lobbies so you could start a nexus mission and they would get a prompt to warp to your system when they take off

actually wait i forgot 💀 you can just teleport to the bases of people in your group

(via a teleporter)

[coarse slate]

thanks man

ill try

last time didnt work

via teleporter in space station

people cant destroy our base/grief it can they , turke?

[quaint mason]

not too sure what the default settings are but i would highly recommend checking

i think its under network settings

[coarse slate]

ok

how do i get tons of salvaged data

[quaint mason]

looting salvage containers on planets

[coarse slate]

gotcha

[quaint mason]

do you know the melee boost trick?

also, i would recommend farming on a lush or scorched planet with storms due to the jetpack duration boost in storms

[sour fossil]

Folks I don't think this is still #nms-spoilers discussion so you might wanna move to other channels

[dusty phoenix]

I had a question about the base computer archives lore

"We sought an escape from reality. That’s why we’re all here, isn’t it? I can remember what it was like, to be a Traveller."

What does this mean, exactly? Is this an uploaded consciousness situation?

This person is very aware of the nature of the Atlas, too

[twin cape]

I keep hearing the name and I've tried reading through all the lore I've collected so far, but I still can't figure out what or who Telamon is

[dusty phoenix]

I think the "fullest" answer comes from the ARG, do you mind if I explain what I know about telamon, or would you rather learn yourself

[twin cape]

What is the ARG?

[dusty phoenix]

Before an earlier update release they did an ARG where you could uncover a bunch of lore regarding the creation of the No Man's Sky universe

Let me see if I can find a good article

[twin cape]

I've just never heard of an ARG before, curious what that is

[dusty phoenix]

Ah, here we are

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Titan

[twin cape]

Ohhh right

[dusty phoenix]

An ARG is an "alternative reality game" that basically is uncovering a story by finding links and cracking codes

Yeah waking titan

[twin cape]

I don't plan on looking into something else, so feel free to share what you learn from that

[dusty phoenix]

Aight so what I remember about telamon is she's the girl in ur suit and she wants to eventually wear you instead someday

[twin cape]

Oh

[dusty phoenix]

Whenever you hear stuff like "battery recharged" or "storm incoming" that's her

[twin cape]

So when the autophage entity refers to wearing a "Telamon-Entity" it's referring to the exosuit, and when the sentinel terminals refer to the thousands of telemons, it's the travellers all designed in her image I suppose?

[dusty phoenix]

Telamon becomes the voice of warning of the exosuit after Atlas confronts Telamon and explains that he has only a short time left to live. Telamon is initially a program that describes and analyses each scenario of each universe of Atlas providing some hypotheses while monitoring Atlas.

Telamon is described by Atlas as a secondary protocol to monitor one's own actions in the event of a loss of will. Telamon would later be embodied in the exosuit to provide advice and warnings on the exosuit's functions.

Both from https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Telamon

[twin cape]

I see, yeah that would be very difficult to piece together from what I've learned so far
