One thought I've had after playing elite dangerous is that POIs could spawn in various states.

Stuff like regular operations, fire emergency, containment breach etc. Could have different scenario types associated with that too

Could even tie it into the system type, so poorer systems may have more broken down stuff and emergencies

[safe quarry]

that would be cool and a nice easy way to mix them up too!

I always thought they should do that with derelicts too. Like rather than just the cold of space, what if some were toxic with spores in the air and a green filter just to mix up the visuals. Or some were on fire with pockets of flames you had to circumnavigate. Or electrical faults so some of the floors are electrified or there's loose electrical cables. Just a few 'modifiers' in a way layered on top of what they already are to mix things up.

And in terms of implementation, you just have each room template having designated spots for 'hazards' then you drop in whatever theme you are going for: so the electrical wiring on one, a fire raging on another, toxic leak on a different one.

it wouldn't really change the gameplay too much between them, but they'd all feel a lot different!

[native carbon]

@grizzled apex any news regarding the "bone" update?

like datamined stuff

or smth like that

[analog breach]

Imo there will be no new stuff until update drop.

I have a feeling that it will drop this wednesday.

[native carbon]

i may sound crazy saying that but i bet its gonna be like an expedition only update

[analog breach]

Imo there will be no expedition

Imo it will be smaller update. + fixes

[grizzled apex]

there is an expedition set to begin at <t:1742997600>, but whether that'll be the only content or not cant be known rn

[native carbon]

hehe knew it

[native carbon]

i wonder what it will be about

[analog breach]

Expeditions back to back. Is intresting.

[grizzled apex]

There was a Fossil Builder UI as part of Worlds Part II, and certain parts of the ship / staff building system got references to creature diets, which likely means that the Fossil Builder will use that underlying system.

[native carbon]

custom pets

idk

[native carbon]

wp2 added everythin i wanted to the game so i cannot be mad but this is getting boring ngl

again its free and its gonna be amazing so yeah

im hyped

[analog breach]

Expeditions back to back means that they can fit more than 4 exp per year.

Soo maybe there is a chance for mixtape reward exp

[native carbon]

oooor make em replayable

🙏

[analog breach]

Only after last one imo.

[native carbon]

lets make expeditions replayable and lets call em tales

still

bones?

no mans sky undead

[analog breach]

Bones

[native carbon]

no mans sky ancients

[analog breach]

No Mans Sky : Primal

[native carbon]

no mans sky: 💀 update

[analog breach]

No mams sky scooby snack

[native carbon]

scooby do x nms

[runic mesa]

Still going with No Man's Sky
Bon Appetit 😛

Silliness aside, a more complex custom pets system would be interesting.

[idle moth]

Had no idea living ships took so damn long to actually birth, is there ANY way to speed up the process😭

[sour fossil]

!faq-time

[cloud jolt]

-# to view info below, enable embeds

Should I adjust my system time?

No! Messing with your system clock has the potential to break every single thing that relies on a real timer. Settlements, frigate missions, farms, mines, freighter battles and time gates such as the Starbirth Quest. Just don't do it.

Contributors: The Atlas

[sour fossil]

The only semi-safe way would be installing mods that change the values for these time gates inside mission structures

But 1) available only for PC 2) not sure if those mods are updated

[torn owl]

whats the word on the data mining?

[sterile drum]

revive extinct animals or/and get more decoration options

would be cool

[gloomy isle]

If you're on pc there's a mod to reduce mission timers

But otherwise not really

[idle moth]

Ah, thanks foe the info

[clever topaz]

Anybody got a clue what the Star Seed does?

I was gonna ask in #nms-questions but I didn't wanna spoil the Padawans and send them down the Wiki rabbit hole

[shut jewel]

Increases HP... by 1

[clever topaz]

...

So I did Atlas Path JUST FOR THAT?!

[shut jewel]

yeah

[clever topaz]

And I had to watch a god die?!

AND GET STRANDED IN CALYPSO?!!!?!?

[shut jewel]

what? i thought you just crafted some bs orb maguffin

and you get the star seed for that

[slender raft]

Sean is adding me in-game

[clever topaz]

Oh wait I'm thinking Artemis Path mb

Crap

Welp at least I can hallucinate and see autophages

[slender raft]

The bone update is gonna be crazy..

[clever topaz]

B O N E S .

I hope it adds more stuff to ancient ruins and burial sites

Likely will, but dude..

..skeletal anomalous species forms?

[slender raft]

Maybe it's related to extinct fauna too

[clever topaz]

Like you're just walking on a sharded planet and you see some spooky scary skeleton looking ahh thing start vigorously attempting to eat you at mach 1.1

[slender raft]

Inb4 dead ships

[clever topaz]

Wait

Bones

And space

Can't have bones without flesh

ORGANIC FREIGHTERS

[slender raft]

Could be a possibility

[clever topaz]

WHOOPEEEEEE

[slender raft]

But bone can symbolise death so maybe dead planet stuff

[clever topaz]

Nah bro we got too many of those

I found one today with the status "The Nest"

Like the hell???

Everything was infested

There were even Shaihuluda

Everywhere

All the plants looked like weird eggs and the water was blood red

BLOOD RED

[arctic anchor]

Honestly i woudnt be surprised if its archeology. I already have a museum with the reality glitches set up, id love displays for bones.

[hasty karma]

what we could reconstruct a full skeleton

[runic mesa]

I work during the day. So when I did Starbirth, I'd set the new organ to grow before I went to bed and it'd be done when I got home from work the next day.

[near ferry]

Archeology would make sense , if you look at fishing and the records pages , it would be an easy addition for them to implement.

[ebon briar]

i hope they move fishing records above personal records

it just looks nicer

[safe quarry]

This might be a bit out there as far as theories go, but we're assuming this 'fossil builder' @grizzled apex has datamined is for skeletal displays (which is definitely the most feasible and realistic theory!) But what if they're an opportunity for Hello Games to test their new mount mechanics? The current system introduced in companions is fine as a neat little feature in a game where we have spaceships and exocraft as our primary means of travel, but I am certain that they're doing a new riding mechanic for LNF's ground mounts that handles more like traditional mounts in other games, where we steer them directly rather than 'encouraging' them where to go.
So what if these 'dinos' we will be building are not just a display but something we can reanimate 'Jurassic park' style, and will have the new riding mechanics tied to them? I wouldn't be surprised if hello games will find a way to stress test this mechanic the same way they have with things like the new water effects ported from their work on LNF.

Again, this is a rather out there and maybe too ambitious theory for what we get tomorrow! Realistically I am still betting on it being a refresh to ruin sites.

If so then the ruin planets and the ruins staff we got in the last expedition could be teasers/assets brought forward from this update.

[ebon briar]

hopefully they make it possible to ride the fractal guys without merging with them

[safe quarry]

which ones are the fractal ones? those ones with the glowing orbs inside of them?

[ebon briar]

yes

i am half traveller half fractal boi

[safe quarry]

hehe. Well i ride on top of them when i do, though the spin all the time and make me feel dizzy.

[ebon briar]

what if you hang on to the frames

[safe quarry]

well they do have new paraglider animations for LNF!

[ebon briar]

[safe quarry]

If I'm being a realist tho, i think we will see new procedural ruin sites to replace the old ones

[ebon briar]

if they add something similiar to no mans sky we'll need higher mountains

maybe even...

[safe quarry]

they used to be a bit procedural but then they made them all identical

[ebon briar]

ALPINE PLANETS! /j

[safe quarry]

have you been to Purple planets?

purple systems rather

some of them have HUGE mountains

[ebon briar]

yes

[safe quarry]

I found one where it took me maybe 20 seconds to fall from the top free

[ebon briar]

i hope they add a new biome for them though

i've only seen like 1 planet ever with a massive ravine

[safe quarry]

They are hard to find but keep looking! Also try the giant planets

they're like the size of gas giants but with one of the normal biomes

[ebon briar]

i can confirm minotaurs have durable ankles

[safe quarry]

everything on those is super sized, including the mountains

They're easy to find too. Just look on the galaxy map for solar systems which look like they have a giant planet with lots of moons orbiting them (like gas giants look) but without the 'gas giant' moniker in their description.

Those will be a giant planet, and if you're lucky then a paradise giant

lots of space to break minotaur ankles

[ebon briar]

yippe

maybe it'll even have orange grass

[safe quarry]

I found one with orange grass ❤️ it had the ruins too

[ebon briar]

peak

i found one that looks straight out of firewatch

[safe quarry]

sounds lovely!

[ebon briar]

my base there is a wooden watchtower

[grizzled apex]

Creature Riding does feel a little dated atp (which makes sense given how old it is even though it doesnt feel like it. The placeholder DINO NAME text had me wondering if these new fossils might be a new class of creature like the titan worms. If so, I wonder if the Fossil Builder would go beyond just display, maybe letting us bring these creatures back from the dead?

Nothing indicates that btw, just a small, kinda out there theory 😅

[safe quarry]

yes thats exactly where my mind went! But again it also felt way too ambitious so i am trying to keep my hype in check ❤️

[native carbon]

Ngl i feel like we may bring some un-seen before creature types to life

[safe quarry]

But the fact they're their own class could also make the argument for them bringing the new riding mechanic solely to them. Because i bet whatever they are doing there in LNF might not work applied to the existing creatures in NMS

The reason the riding mechanic is so limited is because of the way creatures in NMS are rigged. But if these new ones have the new rigging... maaayyybe?

If we are bringing them to life and they have all new riding mechanics, I would be happy if that's all this small update brings. Though the fact there is almost a confirmed expedition alongside it makes me think the procedural ruins are likely.

[native carbon]

I doubt this will be a massive creature overhaul tbh. I expect something tiny but good and enjoyable like aquarius

[safe quarry]

exactly 100%

If the fossil builder lets us make new animals, i don't think it will change what we already have, they'll be treated as their own separate thing.

[native carbon]

Tbh i want more crazy and alien looking fauna

[safe quarry]

But before we get too excited it could also just be to make a fossil display

but the fact bomberboi found things about diet seems very odd for a fossil. Unless its going to have a procedural description like live animals do.

[native carbon]

The insects added in WP1 are cool i like em but... i want them to look more alieny

[safe quarry]

I am surprised the animals color palettes are so muted. I had a mod which made them more vibrant and varied, and it shows they could go a lot more alien even with what they already have

[native carbon]

And again i love the new aquatic fauna but besides like the sea horses and... i guess squids these look like irl creature

S

Which is booooring

[safe quarry]

i was surprised when Sean said they were adding in creatures more alien than ever before in the WP2 deep dive

that it then showed us manta rays and sea horses 🤣

[native carbon]

I mean they did add some cool creatures, like the spring butterfly, spiky floating octopus thinnies

And the.... floating boobie ball thinny

[safe quarry]

thats true.

and the geometric floating ones too

[native carbon]

Also the transparent striders are cool

I like em

The cursed teased them lol we got one as a expedition pwt

[safe quarry]

yes ❤️ we haven't got the flying transparent creatures yet have we?

that were datamined alongside those?

[native carbon]

Yeah the datamined glowing flying lizards

[safe quarry]

i wonder if they are holding those back because they are going to overhaul flying creatures at some point? They're the only ones we can't tame and ride.. without being sneaky

[native carbon]

Also ngl i want sky octopuses, like we can have flying fish i want flying octopus, these would look sick imo

[safe quarry]

you remember the leviathan expedition?

[native carbon]

Maybe in the future... the cursed part 2 /jk

[safe quarry]

I wish the leviathans flew in low orbit like that naturally

[native carbon]

Yup

[native carbon]

THIS

[safe quarry]

like we sometimes get frigates flying overhead

why not the leviathans too?

[native carbon]

Also u can catch a baby living frigate in the deep ocean planets

I want to actually see one swimming

Oceans are big enough now

[safe quarry]

I feel for how much work went into the leviathans, they're underutilised. I haven't seen one in aaaages

[native carbon]

Yup!

[safe quarry]

If like a school of them would sometimes warp in instead of a fleet, that would be nice

they have such lovely designs, it seems a waste not to have them appear more often!

[native carbon]

The only thing missing imo are more enemies and creature overwork but yeah nms is still a incredible game

Prob my top 1 favourite game

[safe quarry]

mhm i love it too ❤️

[native carbon]

The journey i had and will have is incredible

[safe quarry]

this last year especially has overhauled so much

WP1+2, then orbital

[native carbon]

Yeah 2024 was huge for nms

[safe quarry]

between just those 3, it feels like a refreshed game

[native carbon]

2025 seems to be even better

Starting strong with the possibly best nms update ever

And now we might get a nice aquarius sized update

[safe quarry]

Yes. if tomorrows upates DOES bring planetary dungeons. I will be happy ❤️ tbh if it just remixed the ruins to something more engaging i will be happy.

I definitely expect this one to be aquarius sized

and i am fine with that

[native carbon]

Im already satisfied with nms, they added my beloved deep oceans.

After waiting like 2 years

They finally did it

[safe quarry]

It shows they are listening to what fans are asking for

the things bomberboi has datamined about corvettes makes me SUPER excited.

[native carbon]

And i never expected em to add deep oceans cuz of engine limitations

[native carbon]

Like 60% of datamined stuff arrives to the game

Like i knew half of the content of wp2 before wp2

But still i was very shocked and excited while watching the wp2 deep dive cuz i didnt expected it to be THAT good

[safe quarry]

mhm

[grizzled apex]

Im surprised we didnt get Octopuses honestly. They have renders of them as fishing items, but no actual model. Wonder if those are lifted straight from LNF though, since we see an Octopus there.

[safe quarry]

Yes it looks like the one from the LNF trailer

that the use as the png in the fishing

[native carbon]

We can technically find one, its the "squid" with the glowing head

If u look closely it doesnt have the squid tentacles but i get ha

Ya*

Kinda sad

But hey they surprised us with sea horses and hermit crabs

[safe quarry]

You can tame the hermit crabs now right?

[native carbon]

Always could, but they were buggy

[safe quarry]

i have a deep ocean planet with some massive ones but i forgot to go back and try and tame them after that patch

[native carbon]

Before

[grizzled apex]

Yea, but it isnt the model that the octopus item render uses

[native carbon]

Now they are fixed

[safe quarry]

okay i will go back and tame it

[native carbon]

Like i would just put a scaled down living frigate in the oceans, it would make sense lore wise

[grizzled apex]

The Wraith and one of the new fish (i believe?) hint at living frigates and ships existing underwater too, which I hope is something they build on, at least lore wise

[safe quarry]

Either way like we said earlier. i just think they should utilise the leviathans more in general

have a 5% chance that frigates flying overhead are leviathans

have a 5% chance that a fleet that warps in is a school of leviathans

[native carbon]

Yeah u can catch a baby living frigate in the deep oceans

[safe quarry]

and I'll be happy

[native carbon]

I got it myself

[grizzled apex]

I'd love if they added underwater predators back. I remember getting chased ashore to a deserted island day 1 on launch. Pretty fun memory, and I wish we'd see more moments like this, especally with the new giant creatures and deep oceans.

[safe quarry]

in the patch notes they show it diving underwater briefly and I think we all hoped it meant it was aquatic. but they had just done that trick where you fly into the water so fast it takes it a second to bounce you out

[native carbon]

I want the angler fish to spawn naturally in the depths

Astaroth's screenie

[safe quarry]

The interesting thing looking back at that animation, there are particle effects of bubbles around the ship

thats a strange thing to program in for something which we can't do yet

[grizzled apex]

I feel like starship speeds break scaling in NMS already, so starships wouldnt be eary to fly underwater unless they were heavly slowed down. Things in space you would'nt bat an eye about normally become massive if you step on them on foot, like asteroids.

[safe quarry]

oh yes that's the thing. they would have to have it significantly slow you down in water, especially in the original oceans which are shallow at best.

but if you look halfway down the patch notes, it does in fact look like they ship does exactly that once it hits the water. Could be this video was taken from a later build of the game:
https://www.nomanssky.com/worlds-part-ii-update/

actually... not sure it does slow down... but the bubble effect is definitely deliberately programmed in!

if they ever did do it, i bet it would just be a new technology we install like the aqua jets, but I would hope they would make it living ship exclusive feature so that at least they felt like they had unique value.

[real sapphire]

i really like this, ngl

probably my favourite fish 😛

[zenith perch]

Sure if they add MP stability stuff and give me my settlements update

Been a solid last 3 updates so far but stability is definitely something that should be on their list.

[fiery roost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VASjRHx0OdU

[runic mesa]

So wait, possible updated creature riding. Is the speculation that they might backport LNF's dragon riding mechanic somehow...?

That fossil/dino builder UI template is very similar to the ship building one...

[safe quarry]

That was just my wild speculation! nothing concrete to back it up whatsoever!

I think the reasonable expectation would be like that video says: new archaeological sites, hopefully some new ruins to replace the outdated ones, and the fossil builder to show off our discoveries at our base!

[fiery roost]

when it says 26th 10am what timezone?

[safe quarry]

then a nice expedition to show it all off/act as a tutorial

[sterile drum]

flying dinos before more LNF news
Would be ironic heh

[quasi oyster]

Captain Steve was speculating that very same thing.

[runic mesa]

But I want the hang glider fiiiirst... entitled gamer whining

[sterile drum]

Can see both, a museum kinda option, or doing like pokemon / jurassic where you get new pet from genetic data

[safe quarry]

Like bomberboi and i were saying earlier, the fact it asks for 'dino name' makes me hope its a new class of creature if it does come to life!

and that's where my theory/hope that it would let them test the new riding mechanics from LNF came from

[quasi oyster]

The interesting theory could be co,binding the two, and a “build your own flying fossil mount”. I doubt that would happen… but it’s fun to think about 😛

[safe quarry]

and by that i don't mean the dragons as much as ground mounts

[sterile drum]

Oh it asks for a name?

[safe quarry]

if they gave us flying mounts like the dragons, well they have just made LNF redundant!

I think they would save that for LNF rather than turn NMS into LNF before we even have it. hehe

But ground mounts with new riding mechanics, that i could see potentially happening

[sterile drum]

Idk, if they allowed us to mixmatch bones, player would get personalized armature, then naming makes sense

Like the staff stuff

[fiery roost]

I checked that twitter account and he posted none of what he shows in the video

[safe quarry]

yes exactly. The realistic theory is probably that we just get to mix and match parts to make a cool fossil decoration for our base ❤️

[quasi oyster]

Hate to say it, but with the nutrient processor now giving us mega jetpack lifting time… dunno if that hanglider would be implemented

Now, LNF OTOH… that honestly must use one imho!

[grizzled apex]

next expedition starts at <t:1742997600> (this time is displayed for everyone's localized timezone)

[fiery roost]

ewww I'll be asleep

laaame

[sterile drum]

For reference, pokemon again. Dont recall the game, but theres one where the buddies you bring back are a mixed of species

[grizzled apex]

its all there, posted under the #NoMansSkySpoilers tag (source: I'm the guy 🙂)

[safe quarry]

Yes this is the bomberboi that man references ^

[quasi oyster]

I also can’t see them making that many varied bones for what would be required for enough variety to mix/match.

[fiery roost]

but I'm looking at your twitter right now

[grizzled apex]

I wonder if we'll see more fleshing out of the unused bits they left in w/ WPII, or if it's gonna be a fairly isolated update like Aquarius

[safe quarry]

what was left unused from WP?

[grizzled apex]

Worlds Part II launched a fair while ago now, and anything that was unused it it's files was posted almost immediately after

[fiery roost]

ohh hes making it sound like you posted it yesterday in the vid

[safe quarry]

I remember transluscent flying creatures that weren't used

we only got the striders

[sterile drum]

To be honest the staff doesnt have a gigantic set of options for each part, still different enough

[grizzled apex]

The fossil builder, the corvette textures, something about cutscenes (seems to be reusing some of their debug tools?), a non functional space encounter called the Atlas Gate which looks like it was originally a part of In Stellar Multitudes

[quasi oyster]

…a fair argument for sure! 😀

[dusty holly]

how much of this new terrain do you guys think we'll see in lnf? Like I'm definitely noticing some pre next stuff that im not sure would fit in lnf, for example the cool snakes but idk tbh

[fiery roost]

Pretty cool that you are in this discord

[safe quarry]

with a literal planet sized game world, i think they would want to go as wild as they can with terrain variety, otherwise it will get samey quite fast.

[grizzled apex]

around update time I tend to be pop up in a lot of NMS circles haha 😅

[safe quarry]

I mean Sean murray even heavily implied the new terrain generation for purple systems was made for LNF first

[quasi oyster]

As I imagine most of us do 😛

[dusty holly]

Yeah true

[fiery roost]

Yeah I just followed you for them updates lol

[gloomy isle]

Hm I wonder if the cutscene stuff might be to do with how the story ends out

[safe quarry]

So it would be safe to assume the purple system terrain is a taste of whats to come. At worst, maybe neutered a bit to make it more compatible with last gen

[gloomy isle]

If we got a big story focused update with cutscenes etc that could be awesome

[fiery roost]

any other NMS celebs in this server?

[dusty holly]

I'd hope it's not exactly but yeah maybe even more hopefully

[grizzled apex]

it mentions terrain and cloud settings a lot so I wonder if it might be a cinematography tool

[safe quarry]

i mean even the snakey terrain would suit the more fantastical elements of LNF

[fiery roost]

so what is the current consensus on the next expedition?

like do we have any concrete info?

[sour fossil]

Got any pictures of that Atlas Gate?

Or is it the same model as relic gate or other rare space encounter?

[safe quarry]

Maybe its from my time on Spore Galactic Adventures, but one day I would LOVE it if they added some kind of quest editor that would then seed player made adventures across everyones playthrough. Realistically we all know that kind of a feature would need heavy censorship settings though.

[grizzled apex]

I can imagine that they'd have it spawning further from the general "spawn" region then though, to allow players to progress and get the appropriate mounts to traverse them since we'd be jetpackless

[safe quarry]

Maybe realise their vision with NMS originally of having the outer rim (in this case spawn region) be more 'mundane' and then more wild as you go farther out

[grizzled apex]

I'm pretty sure it's visually the same as the relic gate, but it has a whole other SCENE file, probably since it needs a different entity to trigger a different reward.

[safe quarry]

like how planets were originally planned to become more surreal and wild as you reached the centre.

[dusty holly]

I think there might be small amounts of weird terrain in random parts to allow people to be surprised like a discovery

[safe quarry]

On a total side note as i didn't notice them at first:

I see no one mentioning the cute little shadow sprites in the LNF trailer when you see the big korvax looking statue move

if you look around the players, there are little sprites watching them!

[fiery roost]

I need to watch the LNF trailer

you guys are making it sound good

[safe quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKQem4Z6ioQ

[fiery roost]

I feel like you are just saying hey your graphics card ain't good enough for this game....

[safe quarry]

What do you mean? ^.^

[fiery roost]

playing that will burn my 2070 super

[safe quarry]

hehe i am not sure i am up to the task! But i would get a new computer for LNF if i had to ❤️

[fiery roost]

siiigh need a job then, f my life

[safe quarry]

we don't know what the specifications are yet tho. It will probably come out on ps5

so whatever is the pc equivelent would be okay

[gloomy isle]

Sounds like the early work for some sort of story quest maybe?

Either way there's a lot of cool stuff in the works it looks like

[grizzled apex]

might've been scrapped from In Stellar Multitudes. That whole quest feels like it was ripped from something bigger

[sour fossil]

yeah Im still flabberghasted this was the "story to tie in other story lines"

b...ch please my custom quests mod had more stuff to do

[runic mesa]

I wonder if they cut it down to push WP2 out and we'll get a larger conclusion later. Kinda doubt it tho.

[grizzled apex]

The icons for the things we craft in the quest have a 2024 appended in the file name, and there's a bunch of empty icons for "Purple Star Seeds", so probably yea

[runic mesa]

Innnteresting

[sour fossil]

purple star seeds
Oooooohhhhh
empty icons

[gloomy isle]

Reminds me of what we talked about the other day, they seem to have a pretty solid idea of where they want this to go. It does kinda feel like In Stellar Multitudes was brought forward from something else they want to do, as a prelude maybe

I have a feeling that summer will either have a story focused update, or they'll do that next year and it'll be the corvettes

Maybe with other space gameplay stuff

What makes me think the big story conclusion might be next year is because it's the 10th anniversary

So they might be cooking up something special, if not on the same scale of worlds

[silver quail]

I've been messing with GcSpaceshipComponentData. The new properties that ThatBomberBoi pointed out. His video was very inspiring. I have wasted many hours playing with this. It is indeed a little wonky, but a lot of fun.

I'm listing some things I discovered for those that might try it out to:
-It doesn't like 3rd person view in space.
-Coming out of warp is tricky. You have to hit the gas quickly to become unstuck.
-No problems landing in space station, freighters or the anomaly in 1st person view.
-The ship build radius can expand further than you might think.
Thanks @grizzled apex for the info: Here is my crazy experiments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMvSDqLiItA

[zenith perch]

Wdym neutered

[zenith perch]

You'll have to hope LNFs multiplayer is actually good and well implemented unlike NMS with the unfortunately still after multiple years buggy mp.

[grizzled apex]

NMS' MP was never meant to be as expansive as it eventually became. LNF has the benefit of likely having been built w/ multiplayer interactions in mind, so I'd imagine they'd have worked it in much more smoothly

[gloomy isle]

Gotta find a nice planet for my Dino museum by tomorrow lol

Decided on a way to encode the glyphs for special planets into the floor lights too

[placid cedar]

So after doing the sentinel mech quest for the settlement, is there anything else I need to do? I saw something about an autophage somewhere?

I do plan to start a new settlement in the green Galaxy when I go there, but if I should wait first to complete that mission then I might do that

[runic mesa]

Trace of Metal is not required to unlock the Autophage, fyi. That's outdated. It used to be, but it was removed as a requirement a few update fixes later.

With update 4.44, completion of the mission, A Trace of Metal is no longer required. A Settlement used to be needed -- except on Switch, where you'd have to trigger it by warping 25 times.

Ok so I completed the Artemis Path

I haven't started a Harmonic Camp, no idea that was even a thing

Could I warp to a green system, reset the Galaxy, travel to the next galaxy and then start that stuff?

[placid cedar]

Stupid question since I can just travel to different bases

[native carbon]

tommorow orow orow orow.....

[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.

[runic mesa]

insert Annie song here

[late tusk]

:O

hello friends!

[gloomy isle]

Surprised Microsoft hasn't leaked the update yet lol

[late edge]

So, I never got to see the datamined fossil builder. This will probably be the equivalent of fishing ?

[gloomy isle]

Seems to be. It's got a UI similar to ship building

So I'd imagine planets with bones may have a proc gen skeleton to assemble and display

[late edge]

Thanks!

[remote dragon]

sounds fun actually

[late edge]

Yeah, I like these little updates.

[grizzled apex]

I'd give it a few more hours, never say never with Xbox 😛

Wonder if that's why they get some of the updates late haha

[thorn token]

I think it's a creature builder like the ship builder. But instead of ship parts we collect creature dna and bones to assmble them.

[runic mesa]

If it is a mechanic for customized creatures, I hope they introduce pet cold storage with it (weird implications and all...)

[runic mesa]

Lol. "Bad platform! Go into time out."

Who was it that leaked Echos? I remember that

[bitter crag]

is there time realistically to finish this expedition before tomorrows update?

if i were to start it like right now?

[ebon spoke]

You've got about ten hours. If you follow the notes in the pins in #nms-expedition or follow a video guide you should be able to knock it out in a few hours

[bitter crag]

cool beans

[uncut harness]

Any leaks on the update

[gloomy isle]

Only this really

From thatbomberboi

Ignore the portal, he just used it to load the UI iirc

I'd honestly love to see something like this for the trinkets we dig up, too

If that's what it is ofc

[zenith perch]

If we get an update Wednesday, not when

[grizzled apex]

They leaked Origins and The general theme of Aquarius iirc

[sour fossil]

Echoes was from some game journalism page on the web

A full on article talking about the new race, crafting staves

[native carbon]

Today is a update day

[dense quartz]

I kinda hope we use ancient bones and buried treasures to build the thing. It'd be a neat way to add depth to them since right now all they're used for is just selling.

I'm also hoping buried ruins get variation. I always felt it was weird how the Omega update silently added a new chart to buried ruins but then the ruins themselves remained the same.

[fiery roost]

So no posts today from Sean so seems like no new expedition tomorrow

[native carbon]

There will be a expedition

And it will drop on wednesday

Trust me

[fiery roost]

I'm hoping for it, Jonseing for more content hehe

[dense quartz]

Wednesday is today. 10am in fact.

[fiery roost]

that'll be Thursday for me

[viral geyser]

It’s most likely just going to be an expedition around fossil building

I think it’s going to be the same size of Aquarius

Considering that updates that drop with same day expeditions are usually small

And the server data has been changed to have an expedition drop today

[gloomy isle]

There's datamined stuff for an actual feature so it's more than that

Defo more aquarius sized though

[viral geyser]

Fossil building would be the feature

[safe quarry]

I think you are probably right, though I am crossing my fingers still for some ruin overhauls 🤞

[viral geyser]

Just like fishing was

[safe quarry]

just because fossil building on its own seems like half a feature without somewhere to dig them up

or maybe huge skeletal remains or burial sites?

There's definitely a visual dissonance between the new ruined plants and ruined staff props vs the older ruins. They look like two different styles.

[gloomy isle]

Haha dissonance

I love puns

[safe quarry]

hehe yes i left that in there when i realised the pun :p

But i also feel like fossil building alone wouldn't be enough to prop up a whole expedition without some way to acquire them. We'll have the usual milestones of getting off the starter planet, and reaching each rendezvous, but after that they need quite a few milestones. Aquarius worked because of fishing in different biomes and using the traps, etc. I feel how we get the fossils might be the same 'collect some fossils from ruins on a paradise world.'

[gloomy isle]

Yeah, I'm wondering if they're going to add more gameplay to actually collecting the fossils but I'm not sure what they can even do

Maybe a little hammer to chip open rocks or something

A thought I had last night was that you could be able to assemble the bones how you want, but it gets more valuable the closer your result is to what the actual skeleton should look like

[safe quarry]

Well if i'm being extra greedy, i'd LOVE planetary dungeons. Something like what we have with the procedural derelict freighters, but planet side. Maybe a long elevator ride down to de-render the planet and render in a labyrinth. But now i'm asking for too much!

imagine finding a giant Gek pyramid that leads to a procedural dungeon, and the fossils and artefacts being your rewards.

[gloomy isle]

Yeah that would be really really awesome. Especially if you could find proc gen artefacts to keep on display and stuff

Unique stuff to take from a planet and display is something the game would really benefit from imo

[safe quarry]

Yes! It's almost certainly something they're working on for LNF as it is, its whether they want to bring it to NMS with a sci fi flair or not.

I wouldn't be surprised if that giant sphere building we saw in the distance in the LNF trailer was probably a dungeon, and the sphere probably holds the procedural dungeon layout.

above ground so there's no clipping with the terrain, and inside a known volume: the sphere, makes sense from a technical perspective.

[gloomy isle]

Yeah that would make a lot of sense actually

I really hope that makes its way to NMS eventually

[safe quarry]

I do too, but i can understand them wanting to hold some things back for LNF. Hopefully though eventually after launch, they'll introduce some of the things into NMS so we have two incredible games that continue to get even more feature rich.

[novel summit]

My guess is No Man's Sky: The Ancients or something like that

[grizzled apex]

PS Sale's up

[icy citrus]

So is Xbox

[sour fossil]

So is Gleam

Hi Gleam

Holding the update hostage again are you?

[safe quarry]

If it wasn't for Bomberboi's leak of the datamined fossil builder, I would be betting on this just being an expedition with some neat archaeology themed rewards. So if it turns out that is what this is, I will blame you for my hype :p

[gloomy isle]

No man's sky: exhibit

Or

No man's sky: digsite

Those are my two guesses

[icy citrus]

Yes

[safe quarry]

Oooh fun! Hmm i am going to guess... No Man's sky: Remnants.

[vestal barn]

Nice

[safe quarry]

We still haven't had that giant player statue that got datamined... just saying.

[icy citrus]

More ruins on the ruin worlds

[viral geyser]

No mans sky: archeology

[dense quartz]

No Man's Sky: Bone-R

[safe quarry]

Archaeology would have been my second guess. and I knew someone was going to make the bone joke!

I almost did :p

[dense quartz]

I tried but bot told me no lol.

[novel summit]

I have such a good joke about the bone I'd post on reddit but I'm banned

[safe quarry]

reddit has been surprisingly quiet about this new update.

[swift turret]

fossil building you say?

[icy citrus]

We will get a mysterious note, and then don our new cosmetics (fedora and whip) before we head out to save the bones. They belong in a museum!

[gloomy isle]

No Man's Sky: The British History Museum

Features: refuse to give artefacts back to the Gek

[safe quarry]

It's true, we do like your arte... i mean our artefacts. ❤️

[dense quartz]

Reddit is weirdly obsessed with this theory that HG is "testing" features in NMS for LNF. I don't understand what the testing part is even supposed to be, especially when Sean himself has said they're backporting LNF features into NMS.

Anyway my prediction, update in 4-5 hours.

[native carbon]

Is the update put?

For ps4

[gloomy isle]

Not yet 😦

[native carbon]

Ah k

[gloomy isle]

Not word on anything yet

Probably in the next hour or two I think

[swift turret]

i wonder what part bones play in the update

[native carbon]

Nms bbbbbones update

[dense quartz]

The datamined fossil builder is certainly odd. Like I didn't expect them to prioritize something like that lol.

[gloomy isle]

Guess fossil hunting is the closest you can get to the experience of fishing on land 😂

There's something to it, rifling through pebbles on a nice day

[native carbon]

Wait a minute....

[gloomy isle]

A place I went to once had so many crinoid fragments that the rocks looked as if they had nuts and bolts in them lol

[gusty stream]

Good morning r/NMS

[native carbon]

Yay zombini!

Get your ps4 ready hehe

[fiery roost]

man get yourself a PS5 lul

[native carbon]

Ps4 gets the update first tho

[fiery roost]

its weird cause PS4 is old gen and PS5 is current gen

you would think theyd do PS5 first

[native carbon]

Not really

[gusty stream]

Its weird

[fiery roost]

PS5 has been out for years now

thats ok nothing wrong with a PS4

[native carbon]

Ps4 perfectly fine

[fiery roost]

just legacy now

be PS6 in a year or two

[swift turret]

what is this fossil builder people speak of?

[fiery roost]

something cool that might be coming

[native carbon]

Datamined UI for a "fossil builder"

[swift turret]

interesting

[gusty stream]

Oh?

And here I was thinking it'd be just an expedition

[gloomy isle]

I've chosen the perfect site for my fossil collection lol

Spent like 2 days searching for the planet

[native carbon]

Imagine its a ship fabricator but for animals

[dense quartz]

Yeah apparently NMS has a few hardcoded UI builders like for the staffs and starships and now this fossil builder has increased the cap.

[native carbon]

I would be sooo happy

[sour fossil]

speaking of builders UI

The starship fabricator used to have 4 hardcoded input slots, now it has 5

[gusty stream]

Top of the hour?

[sour fossil]

It doesn't show up because none of the available ship types require 5th slot to be active

[dense quartz]

Oh maybe that's what I'm thinking of lol.

[native carbon]

Also weird,cuz no gib or cowboy

[gloomy isle]

That's odd, could it be a side effect of Dino exhibits maybe having 5 slots?

[sour fossil]

Considering those are separate UI elements / pages, then no

[native carbon]

If its a creature fabricator ima beso happy

[sour fossil]

Staves, ships and this dino fabricator share the same "library" file of items / assembly

But each has a dedicated UI file that well, controls how the UI looks

[gusty stream]

Hm looks like not yet

[native carbon]

Theres an expedition set up to start in 3 hours

[gloomy isle]

I lowkey hope it's for building procedural dinosaur skeletons 😂

[native carbon]

Jurrasic park x nms

[dense quartz]

I expect the update within 3 hours, but normally it's a few days before the expedition goes live, no?

Or at least it's not the norm for an expedition to go live right along with the update.

[next lagoon]

Pack it up guys no cowboy

[swift turret]

i've always wanted some update where you can display creatures in an exhibit of some kind

[gloomy isle]

For smaller updates it's usually the same day iirc

At least for aquarius it was

[dense quartz]

Oh right.

[gusty stream]

Does Sean do the Gibs and Cowboys for smaller updates

[dense quartz]

Gibs are for massive updates.
Cowboy used to mean the update is dropping right now.. but he broke the pattern a few updates ago.

[native carbon]

He did it for the cursed so

[native carbon]

He did a gib for the cursed

[gusty stream]

Maybe he just...forgot?

[swift turret]

my guess is its when the expedition ends

[dense quartz]

I am okay with this.

[swift turret]

what if its skeleton creatures

like big skeleton dinos roaming about

[shut hinge]

It's confirmed! the new update will add a cooking recipe for scones to the game

Hence the bones because bones rhymes with scones (depending on where you're from)

[timid mist]

bone broth recipes

[grizzled apex]

There's the gib!

[dense quartz]

Literally throwing us a bone lol

[gloomy isle]

Just realised, this update has had more time in the oven than aquarius by quite a bit

Aquarius started development after part 1 launched because it was inspired by fan art

[swift turret]

oooh maaaan

[gloomy isle]

This was found in the files for part 2, and the expedition ended later too

[grizzled apex]

Get your PS4s ready!

[gusty stream]

Fetch!

[dense quartz]

I like to imagine at least some of the devs are lurking here and watching our reactions lol.

[grizzled apex]

im pretty sure sean's posted a reaction screenshot from this discord once

[swift turret]

im getting my ps5 ready

you legend

[dense quartz]

I'm pretty sure Sean will post a screenshot of the subreddit reaching 1M members in a couple of days/weeks.

[hasty karma]

is Sean even in here

[dense quartz]

He is in my headcanon.

[swift turret]

He is here, in our hearts

[native carbon]

He can be you, he can be me, he can be anyone in this discord server

[hasty karma]

that's true

[swift turret]

Im Sean, but you dont truly know if i am or not, i might be, i might not be, you'll never know, because you are in the matrix

[native carbon]

copied

Im Sean, but you dont truly know if i am or not, i might be, i might not be, you'll never know, because you are in the matrix

[late tusk]

Yes

[native carbon]

Who knows

Watch ps4 get it in 24 minutes

[safe quarry]

well he has done a gib emoji so imminent ❤️

[hasty karma]

unlikely

[safe quarry]

i think in 2 and a half hours we will know what it is

[native carbon]

Just watch trust

Im totally not seeing things

Sean told me that it will release in 18 minutes in my dream

[hasty karma]

for a game thats alot about patience, yall sure arent patient

[native carbon]

Oh well

[dense quartz]

PlayStation getting it very soon, Steam in like 2-3 hours probably.

[viral geyser]

Anyone else lowkey have dreams about Sean cuddling with them

[gusty stream]

Huh

[dense quartz]

wh

[native carbon]

Wut

[analog breach]

Could be worse. Could write erotic novel with him

[native carbon]

I mean yeah /jk

[dense quartz]

10 year old novel at this point...

[analog breach]

Still makes me gigle

[analog breach]

A classic at this ponit lol

[gloomy isle]

Do NOT use the VR headsets if you're invited to Hello Games 😭😭😭

[swift turret]

...

[gusty stream]

Oh my god

[swift turret]

[grizzled apex]

Those are some jacked shoulder bones

[gusty stream]

Top of the hour soon

I mean now

[flat jetty]

[native carbon]

Ps4

Pls

[grizzled apex]

S👀n

[native carbon]

When will sean get the cowboy right

[vestal barn]

It should be any moment after the cowboy emoji 😅

[grizzled apex]

I think it looks fine on mobile, which is probably where he posts from

[late tusk]

:3

[fiery roost]

looks a bit different

[flat jetty]

darn

[gusty stream]

The cowboy is pointing at his dislocated ankle

[real sapphire]

🦴

[flat jetty]

theres a snake in his bone

[native carbon]

Nms scoliosis update

[teal mesa]

bone expedition?

🤔

[fiery roost]

two hours till update

[native carbon]

🦴

[swift turret]

e

[native carbon]

SWITCH GOT IT FIRST LMFAO

[gusty stream]

WHAT

IMPOSSIBLE

[native carbon]

I KNOW

[grizzled apex]

Had to make up for the Cursed Delay haha

Is the version number 5.6?

[next lagoon]

How many gb?

[native carbon]

PS5 GOT IT

Lmao ps4 lazy today

[ashen geode]

Update on PS5!

[gloomy isle]

If you're on ps5 you better post the title screen notes

[swift turret]

YAAA

ITS A GOOD DAY TO BE ON PS5

[next lagoon]

Gb?

[grizzled apex]

Gotta love HG, they never fail to surprise, in surprising ways

[native carbon]

Haha true

[fiery roost]

PC hasn't updated

[grizzled apex]

its usually an hour or two behind the first consoles

[fiery roost]

ewww

PC should be first

[swift turret]

im updating but its gonna take like 2 hours

[ashen geode]

Switch did not get the update?

[native carbon]

It did

[ashen geode]

Are you sure it's not an old patch downloading?

[glass leaf]

the switch takes like 200 years to download so it makes sense for them to get it first lmao

[native carbon]

People are downloading it

[swift turret]

[ashen geode]

We got no Ticker

[fiery roost]

HG out here loving yucky PS5 too much hehe

[wintry berry]

so what is it called?

[grizzled apex]

Switch ticker is updated manually iirc

[native carbon]

Switch is not automatically posted

[ashen geode]

Ohhh I see, thanks!

[gloomy isle]

People are downloading now

[ashen geode]

I'll download it

[vestal barn]

👀👀 I'm curious to see

[wintry berry]

download faster!

[native carbon]

Version: 5.6.0
Build number: 140599
Save version: 4176

[fiery roost]

wheres our ahead of the game info?

hehe

[sleek dragon]

How big the size of the update?

[glass leaf]

someone on reddit said they got an update??

[wintry berry]

do we have the page yet?

[wintry berry]

Switch dropped minutes ago

[wind panther]

17.7gb on PS supposedly

[wintry berry]

rest still waiting

[glass leaf]

17gb

[ashen geode]

We need the name first ^^

[wintry berry]

whoa, big one

[next lagoon]

Goodness..

[wintry berry]

why do you think i'm bouncing for the name lol

[gloomy isle]

17GB

[grizzled apex]

download sizes have 0 correlation w/ update features

[fiery roost]

worlds parts 3 lul (joke)

[dense quartz]

I'm still not used to NMS no longer being a 12GB game.

[next lagoon]

If the bones meant world's part 3 ..

[glass leaf]

5.6

[gloomy isle]

Probably lots of bone models or something

[grizzled apex]

consoles redownload the whole game each update

[ashen geode]

Oh, there goes ticker

[heavy light]

Okay, I just gotta get the screenshot to my phone then I’ll show in game notes

[native carbon]

😭

Quickkk

[glass leaf]

I think worlds was a smaller update wasnt it??

[wintry berry]

stop torturing us lol

[gusty stream]

Theres ingame notes?

[teal mesa]

hype hype hype

[wind panther]

Yeah, a short list of some notes on launch

[ashen geode]

Yes, when you open the game with a few lines on what's new

[gusty stream]

Curious, they don't usually do that for tiny updates

[gloomy isle]

They did for aquarius iirc

[fiery roost]

what did poor xbox do to not get love?

[runic mesa]

Relics

[native carbon]

Nms relics?

[gusty stream]

Relics?

[heavy light]

It’s being unusually slow

[grizzled apex]

they did it for the last 2 expeditions too

[glass leaf]

im guessing maybe this one is the bone building update

[native carbon]

Where my fossil builder

[heavy light]

I’ll just type it out

Nvm

[wintry berry]

https://www.nomanssky.com/relics-update/ not found 😢

[gloomy isle]

Oooo so not just bones???

[sweet idol]

Download taking forever on ps5

[safe quarry]

nooo i was going to guess no man's sky relics, but i changed my guess to remnants!

[grizzled apex]

Ooh, completely missed the mark w/ my prediction this time haha

[heavy light]

Here

[sweet idol]

Nooo I lost my ARG experts role

[dense quartz]

I KNEW IT! I guessed the name. 😄

[gusty stream]

Hmm

Strange lifeforms?

[heavy light]

Welp I lost my pact

[sleek dragon]

Oh damn

[glass leaf]

b0ne

[teal mesa]

bone expedition i knew it

[gloomy isle]

Small but kinda fire ngl

[native carbon]

Please. Please. I BEG. DONT MAKE THESE CREATURES EXCLUSIVE TO THE EXPEDITION

😭

[sweet idol]

Expeditions usually always have content on them, just smaller - you'd always lose the pact lol?

[wind panther]

I don't think there's ever been an update with only an expedition and absolutely nothing else

That was a poor bet

[wintry berry]

@unborn bough I have some suggestions for the looks 🤣

[sweet idol]

Yeah that was terrible

[runic mesa]

Bone hunting expedition, assemble fossils for unique exhibits, strange lifeforms at boneyards per description

[fiery roost]

ooph so just decorations?

[heavy light]

Cursed had no substantial in game content

[ashen geode]

That looks cool!

[safe quarry]

well it sounds like a small update & an expedition to me. So technically you didn't

[wind panther]

Insubstantial is much different than nonexistent

[heavy light]

There’s still new content

Yeah I phrased it poorly

[gusty stream]

Show expedition rewards please?

[heavy light]

Oh well

[icy citrus]

Relics

[gloomy isle]

As someone into fossils this is definitely substantial 😂😂😂

[heavy light]

Save loading

[ashen geode]

Honestly it makes sense the update is smaller this time, it takes months to make a lot of content!

[unborn bough]

lol

[heavy light]

I’ll go to the exped rewards immediately

[ashen geode]

This is still awesome and looks exciting ^^

[swift turret]

YEAAAAAAAAH

[wind panther]

Yeah, we were almost definitely getting a small udpate this time

But looks interesting

[icy citrus]

Nope

[gloomy isle]

More appealing than fishing imo

[native carbon]

Please dont make these new creatures exclusive to the expedition

[heavy light]

A full armor set

[runic mesa]

I'm in too, but Omega is ahead of me

[heavy light]

Taking pictures bow

[gloomy isle]

Whoa, what's it looking like?

[native carbon]

Quicker faster come onnn /jk

[icy citrus]

Bony

[fiery roost]

thats soo lame that PC/xbox has to wait

[kind scroll]

skelator armor set...i wish

[heavy light]

Theres 3 pages of rewards wtf

[wintry berry]

somebody has to be first and somebody has to be last

[teal mesa]

damn

[gloomy isle]

Lowkey wanting it to look like the morrowind bone armour lol

[fiery roost]

so only 3 phases or 15 phases?

[native carbon]

W update

[heavy light]

3 more after this

[wintry berry]

that's pretty

[heavy light]

Armor set, pet and staff

[wintry berry]

also high LNF factor/feel of those relic structures on some planets

[heavy light]

They cooked

[fiery roost]

no ship?

[heavy light]

Nope

[fiery roost]

laame

[wintry berry]

phew

[wind panther]

That staff is badass

[runic mesa]

Oooh that bone MT tho

[teal mesa]

the staff looks crazy

[wintry berry]

there's only so many ships I can showcase in my hangar :)

[wind panther]

And they finally made a full set instead of like 3 pieces of something

[unborn bough]

You’re in for a big surprise, @heavy light hehehehe!

[icy citrus]

Lol

[dense quartz]

At least we can own 30 now. 😄

[heavy light]

Exped hasn’t started yet

[heavy light]

Oh I know

[swift turret]

decet rewards, decent rewards

[heavy light]

Don’t go easy on me

Give me the worst you have

[icy citrus]

Friendly tip, don't make the pact involve no new content

[fiery roost]

?

[wintry berry]

the helmet is cool too

[gloomy isle]

Okay I love how weird that set is

[heavy light]

Yeah I realize I phrased it poorly

[runic mesa]

Hehe the golem boots

[heavy light]

I should’ve said no major new content

[wind panther]

Yeah, but there's no way to define major content vs minor content

Bet on the version number maybe

[native carbon]

Can u check these new bone areas? Apparently they have new creatures

[wind panther]

The next update will not be 6.0

[heavy light]

That depends if I find them

[unborn bough]

@leaden axle look
-# spoiler channel, we know the next content.

[wind panther]

Probably creatures similar to that pet

[runic mesa]

It's 5.6

[gloomy isle]

I wonder if we assemble skeletons or if it's individual fossils we make displays from 🤔

[teal mesa]

there are new planets?

bone related?

[gloomy isle]

No

[fiery roost]

but wait what if all the new stuff is only available in expedition

[heavy light]

Im guessing I’ll need to go to a planet with ancient bones

[wind panther]

Yes, I was telling them how to better phrase a bet against major content

[pliant aurora]

nice small update

[fiery roost]

then he doesn't lose

[native carbon]

If yes then ima cry

[fiery roost]

ewww I'm not orange anymore lol

[wind panther]

The armor will most likely only be expedition

[heavy light]

They mention a new creature, there is a new creature in the exped rewards

[unborn bough]

Armor and staff too

[sour fossil]

HG that's the second time you've copy pasted the subtitle on a unique staff, how the f..k is a monster staff related to Korvax technology

[heavy light]

I’ll just forfeit it…gimme your worst

[wintry berry]

expedition already available or later this/next week?

[icy citrus]

Odds are today

[native carbon]

Pls go and find a bone planet and check whats going on 🙏

[fiery roost]

should be live in less than 2 hours

Poking around a space station right now. Let's see what a digsite map does now

[wintry berry]

ah well, i got stuff to do today anyway, so i'll wait for the announcement ping for the update page

[icy citrus]

Ps5 players, need the build number and save number from the mode select screen please

[grizzled apex]

Oo, it's a new POI?

[runic mesa]

I dunno

[gloomy isle]

That's cool

[heavy light]

Ancient bones have a new icon on planet summary

[dense quartz]

Fingers crossed..

[wintry berry]

i'm going to guess that it's no longer a few fossils, but an entire skeleton that can be excavated in parts

[native carbon]

Ooo nice

[wintry berry]

looks like a fun place

at least it makes sense now why those animals got turned into bones 🤣

[native carbon]

Pls land on de planet

[safe quarry]

ooh the icon has changed

[heavy light]

Man slow down

Im working on it

[native carbon]

Sowwy

[wind panther]

Make Steam drop while I'm away getting ready for bed, please

[wintry berry]

nah, he's just going to circle a few times around it and warp out 🤦‍♂️

[heavy light]

Just gonna go to a different system to get a map real quick

[safe quarry]

I think i am going to be right about giant skeletal remains being on planets as a dig site.

[heavy light]

This system has no space station

[native carbon]

🦴

[heavy light]

Or well it does

But not a useful one

[wintry berry]

ok tabbing out or i won't get any work done for the next 27 hours

[runic mesa]

Going to ancient bone planet now.

[fiery roost]

website hasn't update yet

[wind panther]

Website often doesn't update until after all platforms drop

[runic mesa]

Ruins don't look any different fyi

[swift turret]

Looks like it Reeks

[heavy light]

Artifact chart description

[gloomy isle]

Those are old iirc

[fiery roost]

looks the same

[heavy light]

Oh yeah they are

Oh well

[dense quartz]

Yeah they were silently added in Omega of all updates.

[heavy light]

I’ll see if it gets anything new there

If not I’ll just go randomly explore

[sour fossil]

who ate the dots on these sentences

[native carbon]

Me

[swift turret]

"stay alert for the strange lifeforms that haunt the boneyard"

[native carbon]

Im hyped for that ngl

[swift turret]

i wonder what they look like

[fiery roost]

new horror?

[grizzled apex]

Probably the bone creatures similar to the egg that's a reward for this exped

[heavy light]

Going to the planet now

[fiery roost]

new mini boss

[molten wyvern]

Mind checking the expedition rewards on the nexus? Curious to see them

[swift turret]

probably

[fiery roost]

he already did

[leaden axle]

hahaahaha XD make it the most quirky looking entity now

[heavy light]

Fuck my controller is about to die

[gloomy isle]

They're all in here if you scroll up

[heavy light]

Scroll up

[runic mesa]

Wait a minute. Viglant Stone is showing up on the visor

[molten wyvern]

I did but didnt see them how far up are they?

[unborn bough]

The most dumbest for sure

[molten wyvern]

Nvm

[native carbon]

[unborn bough]

Hoichoi

[fiery roost]

well hey at least this emoji had to do with all the guesses

[native carbon]

mythOS

[unborn bough]

He’s actually Fi, not Soop :3

[native carbon]

?????

[gloomy isle]

Vigilant stone? Between this and the expedition item descriptions we might be getting a little lore on the ruins worlds

[vestal barn]

Using the chart?

[fiery roost]

Now get closer and take a pic

[icy citrus]

Where they sleep

[real sapphire]

[native carbon]

YOOOOOOO?

[teal mesa]

[native carbon]

We already have dinosaurs tho lol

[unborn bough]

Yes

[safe quarry]

Like big skeleton? or buried?

[zenith perch]

[native carbon]

[runic mesa]

"Disturb the eye". Ok

[young quest]

[gloomy isle]

[flat jetty]

[molten wyvern]

That staff looks nice 👀

[zenith perch]

Was I right on the name

relic

[native carbon]

Any new enemies?

[gloomy isle]

New POIs, damn!

[vestal barn]

Is that from the chart?

[gloomy isle]

Awesome

[heavy light]

Theres a fossil trade market

[heavy light]

Nope

[olive compass]

So thats where all the dead ones sleep

[heavy light]

Actual fossil swap market

[young quest]

The release log does imply a new creature of some sort

[real sapphire]

catalogue silhoette

[safe quarry]

i was going to go with relic but at the last minute i changed to remnant. So close!

[runic mesa]

Found the creatures

[zenith perch]

Ayy there we go I was right

W

[native carbon]

Only 5?

[fiery roost]

what new race? @heavy light

[heavy light]

None

[vestal barn]

So how did you find it

[zenith perch]

More POIs I fully support but the real good stuff will be in the notes.

[flat jetty]

museum builds bout to pop off

[heavy light]

I just looked around with visor and it said fossil bed

[fiery roost]

You do autophage scan?

[heavy light]

Theres a Vy’keen here that trades fossils

[real sapphire]

i have a perfect place in my spaceport for those

[zenith perch]

More moneymakers is a buff to abandoned mode saves

[heavy light]

Theres a Vy’keen in the tent

[dense quartz]

Is that from the Autophage?

[fiery roost]

okie

[runic mesa]

If you touch the vigalient eyes, bone "guardians" attack you

[unborn bough]

@heavy light is there any milestone that may gate us, like “renaming a discovery”?

[dense quartz]

Aww man

[native carbon]

Thats sick

[heavy light]

Haven’t started exped

[native carbon]

Yoo

[real sapphire]

heck, i'm another game i'm also playing also got big update today

[heavy light]

Don’t even know if it’s live

[unborn bough]

Oh wait, new expd isn’t launched yet

[flat jetty]

GAMBA

[real sapphire]

how two games crashed

[teal mesa]

so we can make skeleton sculptures

[fiery roost]

go check lol

[zenith perch]

So they add this screen

[real sapphire]

now idk how to prioritiese

[zenith perch]

I want that for settlements

[native carbon]

GAMBLINGGG

[zenith perch]

Switch soon tm

[heavy light]

Woah I just started digging

[real sapphire]

anyways, i have a ancient bone planet

[heavy light]

And I found a flared ribcage

[flat jetty]

gamba

[real sapphire]

also because i have not visit my settlement for long time, "The Settlers" have been popping alot telling me sentinels are attacking

[zenith perch]

Oh that's just automatic tbh

[heavy light]

You can learn fossil display blueprints from the anomaly

[zenith perch]

Can't believe for once I got an update name almost 100% correct

[native carbon]

Thats a cool update ngl

[next lagoon]

Trade for what? Units nanites?

[gloomy isle]

Huh so the 5 in the catalogue must be display stands then

[real sapphire]

"Relics" is a fire name tho

[gloomy isle]

Then the actual final result is custom based on what you use

[zenith perch]

Tameable dinos so you can like your kaiju experience

[native carbon]

Remember when we thought aquarius would be named relics? Good times

[zenith perch]

I wonder what hidden content was added with this as in unused stuff

[heavy light]

New mission: ”Collecting Fossils” triggered when finding a new fossil

[runic mesa]

Okay, so the bone guardian thing is tricky.

[leaden axle]

wait what I am getting confused with all the soops here

[native carbon]

Muhahaha

[heavy light]

Wait where did you find one of those?

[runic mesa]

It's timed, if you don't kill it quickly, it disappears

[real sapphire]

Vigilant Stones?

[native carbon]

Thats sick!

[unborn bough]

Hahahahahahaa!

[heavy light]

Oh god

[dense quartz]

Why would it disappear?

[flat jetty]

GAMBA

[runic mesa]

Look in your visor for a "vigilant stone"

[unborn bough]

Doesn’t wanna play with slow pokesz

[swift turret]

i wanna see the new scary creatures that apparently hang out at the fossil sites ngl

[native carbon]

Same

[leaden axle]

does this fesh particulary enjoy feshing in nms?

[dense quartz]

I mean the guardian is like "I must defend the boens from this travelle- eh nvm" lol

[zenith perch]

Challenge in MY no mans sky?

[heavy light]

Quadruped, reptilian, biped, avian and protoform seem to be the classifications for the new fossils

[zenith perch]

This will not stand please nerf it hg!

[heavy light]

Theres a display for each of those types

[zenith perch]

Are the guardians B O N E men

[native carbon]

Thats amazing ngl

[runic mesa]

Right, I got to get ready for work. Omega can go mess with this for ya'll lol

[zenith perch]

morgeil i need one confirmation

[native carbon]

Can we customise em?

[zenith perch]

did they secretly add ship boost toggling

I need that added eventually it'd feel so nice

[heavy light]

Collecting fossils now wants me to find one of each skull, ribcage, tail and limbs fossil type

[heavy light]

I think the display is just to put it together and then you find the bones yourself

[zenith perch]

Your poor settlers are getting attacked and you're looking at bones

[native carbon]

Archeology update

[swift turret]

there are about to be thousands of museums opening up throughout the universe now

[real sapphire]

they can fend for themselves

[native carbon]

W little update ngl

[zenith perch]

I wonder whey they did an update like this over something else
