nms-spoilers

[plain sluice]

Wait, their stats are identical to haulers... lol

Their starting inventory sizes are also identical to large haulers!

We have hauler 2 on our hands /j

[indigo smelt]

I guess you don't need a hauler starship anymore. Plus, you can deposit materials into storage boxes while flying if you have them on the corvette.

[plain sluice]

Unironically obsoletes haulers in a sort of objective way, haulers walked so corvettes could run

Still more practical to some people though, and being able to be inside corvettes isn't a big enough selling point for some people

[indigo smelt]

Haulers were never that practical. Exotic/Organic/Sentinel makes more sense for practicality anyway.

[glass flare]

Haulers were perfectly usable for space trucking during the period when other classes had "realistic" (small) level of cargo space, but when HG let every class have lots of cargo space that drove a stake through the Hauler class.

Anyway I wish Corvettes had some tradeoffs, like really low level of agility or something. But I know people would complain.

[indigo smelt]

Just being an inventory doesn't fall under my definition of practical. Letting other classes have hauler cargo space did kill the hauler, fair. HG decided to add unique features to new ships from living ship update onwards, without going back and adding features to the original three: Fighter, Hauler, Explorer. Fighter is also obsolete.

So, I found out what the deadeye cannon is an upgrade for:
||>Deadeye cannon

Looks inside
Positron ejector||

[ebon spoke]

Back when haulers had the most slots it kinda just made every other ship type obsolete because haulers could fit enough upgrades to outclass any of the other ship types anyway

[hard summit]

How does the reward work? Can you buy more deadeye cannons at the workshop, is it always a free module or something?

[indigo smelt]

No, you get the blueprint and then you can craft it. The materials aren't anything special either.

[hard summit]

Oh that makes more sense lol didn't think of that. Thanks!

[fallen cave]

I heard the deadeye is like a rail cannon can anyone confirm?

[cosmic anvil]

never mind it got fixed

[gloomy isle]

Going forward I'd assume they'll be essentially ships 2.0 rather than just a class. At least in terms of how stuff is going to be tailored to them

Or at least, future ship classes are going to have interiors

[mint lynx]

The more steps towards realism or sim the better
It's what Sean originally wanted anyways

[cosmic anvil]

space sim? we don't even have cities or anything (granted it is due to the sentinels but still), we have quite long ways to go towards realism imo

[fallen cave]

Not yet at least, the settlements was deffo a test to see if it was plausible

[cosmic anvil]

what do you think? is it a right step?

I think yeahh but settlements in and of themselves don't do much, what I think is next step could be linking settlements by trade, transport links etc.. hugely complicated to do via procedural but definitely possible

[indigo smelt]

NMS is way too arcade to be realism or sim. However, I would argue HG seeks the cool factor more than anything: Features that get more people to buy and play NMS. HG has succeeded in this.

[gray compass]

i wonder what is going to happen with the station computers after the expedition is done

[mint lynx]

I'm cool with realism or simulation I'm not picky

Corvettes are a good step in that direction auto pilot a opening hatch it really changes space ships for the better

Worlds upgrades snow and sand worlds in this direction
Snow piles on trees

[cosmic anvil]

we might get a VM lore drop

[gray compass]

probably

[cosmic anvil]

it is hinted she is messing with the station computers

maybe she will blow up all the Gek stations who knows

[mint lynx]

Corvettes are VM she brought the tech back

I would assume that's the reason they'd go with anyways

[gray compass]

i wonder if VM ever gets physical form
or if she is just a figure that operates from the shadows

[cosmic anvil]

if so, that could explain why we're the only ones running around with one

[mint lynx]

VM already brought back staffs and robes

She's a fashion icon

[cosmic anvil]

Nada will go on an endless monologue of praise about this probably

[mint lynx]

Nada probably a first spawn

Idk lol

[cosmic anvil]

Polo is

[gray compass]

i wonder if the anomaly is going to help VM or go against her

[indigo smelt]

A lot more things have to be added in order for them to be Ship 2, like gunners and more features to make multicrew feasible.

[cosmic anvil]

NVM i think I got confused, there is no evidence for this

[indigo smelt]

Frigates will need a proper place for corvette docking instead of a spot in space.

[gloomy isle]

Even as they are, they're a fundamentally more immersive experience. Even without the multi person bridges etc in the files

[gray compass]

i wonder if we ever get a docking area for corvettes or if they just fly in the air forever

[humble kayak]

i knew it
:D

[cosmic anvil]

probably a temp job, we will get a refined version in the future (copium)

[indigo smelt]

There is enough space on all frigates for a docking area, but this wouldn't be on the bridge.

[gray compass]

i hope so

and maybe a buildable one for our bases

[mint lynx]

First spawn can steal bodies so any korvax or vykeen could be one

Like the monsters you kill are korvax

With the eggs

[indigo smelt]

I can see a 4 by 4 dock on the main body with a teleporter leading to the bridge.

[cosmic anvil]

What?

[mint lynx]

Yea

[cosmic anvil]

Really? Where is this mentioned?

[mint lynx]

Lore

[cosmic anvil]

bruh lolll is it like in logs, crashed freighters or something? cause this seems to be an Avengers level threat

also if this is so, how is our frigate crew able to detect them? We see in the frigate expeditions that they occasionally hunt down First Spawn cultists

[gray compass]

probably some crazy tech the player does not have access to yet

idk

[mint lynx]

I don't remember where it's from NMS has alot of rng lore you might never see them there's more in the expeditions sometimes like the cursed mentions Artemis

The living ship quest chain is about korvax scientists stealing souls that ones pretty neat too

[gray compass]

and now VM hints during the latest expedition

[indigo smelt]

Hmm, I am not sure if gunners(which would be controlled by AI in singleplayer) would actually help corvettes much, at least not without a proper boss to fight.

[gray compass]

and sentinel dreadnoughts are too easy to solo without help

[mint lynx]

Not if they spawn in too close to a planet lol

[indigo smelt]

Which means sentinels need an even bigger boss, even bigger than pirate freighter. That, and adding sentinel corvettes(with associated parts for players to build with) spawning at space wanted level 3 goes a long way.

BTW, you can use corvettes to fight pirate freighters, just be mindful of your ship's shape and size. The shield bubble is very small.

[grizzled apex]

Interesting, I didn't read any of the Exped lore since I was waiting on being able to start it myself. Will give it a go!

Sorry I couldn't check the exped start earlier again, shifting time zones are confusing 😅

[native carbon]

I have a deep feeling that the last update of 2025 will be another void mother related expedition.

They just keep building up the lore...

Maybe a giant void mother update for nms 10th anniversary?

[cosmic anvil]

Could be, that's very well possible

How many more updates do we have in the year?

[mint lynx]

You think they'll be another update so close to redux season?

[glass flare]

I still feel like an iOS port could come out this year. Or if not, I would at least expect HG to adopt the new Metal features (DLSS etc) once iOS 26 and MacOS 26 come out (probably in a few weeks)

[mint lynx]

I thought their secret port was a iOS port before they revealed it was a switch 2

[gray compass]

who knows
everything is possible in nms

[zenith perch]

stations 👀

[pulsar mauve]

Yall think i dont have to worry about spoiling anymore i just made the autopage staff

[mint lynx]

There is more to be spoiled on, not a crazy amount.
Lore stuff if you care about that too.

[pulsar mauve]

Ok. Thought i was okay because i finished most stuff

[radiant cairn]

Hi, why does atlas keep resetting the simulation if it knows its dying from a black hole irl

[cosmic anvil]

'did you try turning it off and on again' loop

The Atlas is gambling that maybe THIS iteration will be that one that will fix everything

It is implied the Atlas is just running off its own I think

[radiant cairn]

I know it says there is an extreme gravitational effect happening irl so thats where the blackhole theory comes from id assume

[charred nebula]

Yep, also the humans that built atlas were forced to leave the planet so some sort of cataclysm was definitely imminent

[cold pecan]

holy

[junior quest]

this is quite exciting to me, as someone who's wanted some form of multi-frieghter fleets for FOREVER

hull breach?! now that's intriguing

[sour fossil]

prolly just some fluff text

[junior quest]

but can you imagine like sea of thieves style patching up the side of your corvette?

[cosmic anvil]

Oh boy I asked for freighter class upgrades but got this? 😂

So 40 frigates per freighter - 8x40 = 320 frigate dispatches??

[sour fossil]

nobody knows

[sour fossil]

No I can't, I'd rather have HG patch all the bugs first

[cosmic anvil]

This.

Corvette update had so many bugs which impaired the experience a lot before many could be fixed

[safe quarry]

Don't expect too much or you'll set yourself up for disappointment!

It's more the promise of lore later on, than lore itself.

[snow river]

what did null do to other beings exactly?

i dont understand

[icy citrus]

Null reset (destroyed) many galaxies in their quest to see everything. Ultimately putting themselves in a new body (dunno how) to be able to live forever

[snow river]

ah so he murdered everyone to satisfy his curiosity

is there a way i can delete only null?

[icy citrus]

Not currently

[cosmic anvil]

I don't think Null even lives anymore

didn't he die at the end of a quest when we lost contact?

[snow river]

everyone is still alive in my playthrough

[cosmic anvil]

Because I assume him swapping his natural body for a mechanical one so that he can live forever was an affront to the ATLAS

[cosmic anvil]

I see, I assumed he died after warning us not to go to the final Atlas interface

[snow river]

i didnt make it to final atlas yet

[cosmic anvil]

I think only Artemis has a choice in whether you can let her live or die

[snow river]

oh

[cosmic anvil]

yeahh once you go there you won't hear from Null again

or any of the other NPCs I think..it is just the Anomaly Gang from then on

Take it with a grain of salt, it has been long since I completed that quest

[snow river]

hmmm

any way to save apollo?

[cosmic anvil]

think there are specific steps in the quest that must be done in a way

[snow river]

during atlast judgement he said i saved apollo and artemis

so i assume thats it?

[cosmic anvil]

The First Traveller

Once the player has chosen the fate of the soul of Artemis, Apollo contacts the player in space and learns of what happened to their friend.

After activating the portal of a nearby planet and obtaining its address, the player contacts Apollo via Holo-Terminus and must choose whether to transmit the portal's address. If the player does transmit the address, Apollo will enter that address into their portal and attempt to reach the player's planet.

[snow river]

yes i did this

[cosmic anvil]

are you in The Purge stage of the quest?

[snow river]

no im locating atlas stations rn

[cosmic anvil]

Apollo should contact you in this stage if you made the 'correct choices'

[snow river]

alright then

any correct choices from there to keep him alive further?

[cosmic anvil]

think that should be it? But I suggest you go online or ask others as well because my memory of the quest is faded, don't want to end up killing your Apollo XD

[cosmic anvil]

But this I am quite sure of

[snow river]

alrighty thanks

any lore on the aura farmers in atlas station?

[cosmic anvil]

The three races : Gek, Korvax and Vy'keen

There used to be mann millions more but after all the resets and chaos, only these remain

[snow river]

hold on who am i then

to whom do anomaly people belong?

[icy citrus]

No one

[snow river]

[cosmic anvil]

Dunno maybe you could introduce yourself then we may know

Jk, the anomaly race is highly implied to be humanoid, could be human but never confirmed (the Appearance modifier only changes the outside using holograms)

[gloomy isle]

What's also weird is that the anomaly is connected to the travellers/ a type of them

[spring hawk]

The anomalies are corrupted travellers which are in turn based on a brain scan of the Atlas' creator.

They are corrupted due to the Atlas' degradation.

(IIRC)

[cosmic anvil]

Meaning even more implications that they're human

Maybe we don't see their faces as because inside it's horrific to look at because of corruption in the simulation

I am not sure if this is officially Canon or not but it is an HC to me that the Anomaly race is actually human

This decal came from the NEXT update I think, and ofc it depicts Earth, we can see the American continent and Greenland clearly.

From the Waking Titan ARG:

"A company was developing a way to upload consciousness to a simulated universe until something went wrong and now everyone is trapped inside"

I saw this on Reddit maybe someone can confirm whether the ARG actually says this

[grizzled apex]

Given the unfinished purple system mission, I was sure there's lore on the horizon, but I didn't think we'd get a promise of it already haha

[runic mesa]

...the what?

[grizzled apex]

There's a mission chain related to purple systems, the Autophage and the nexus construct added in Voyagers.

Looks pretty incomplete and I couldn't get it to start (I didn't try to tinker much yet though) but I drew up a map of what it's trying to get you to do based on the debugText and structs

@ebon spoke might've gotten ahead on that though, i believe they discovered it?

[runic mesa]

2026 plans, probably.

[grizzled apex]

I didn't check after the experimental but we'll probably get another update when this expedition ends, since they didn't update the QS list

But yea I wouldn't expect more VM lore this year personally

[ebon spoke]

That was @sour fossil

[cosmic anvil]

apart from the expedition lore where she is trying to hack the space station core?

[safe quarry]

Well could be something more sooner too

[grizzled apex]

Oop, never doubt the mission master haha

[safe quarry]

So there's interactions with the stations that allude to Glass and the travellers doing some kind of conversion

but rn now its a community related thing, so we all have to upload to 'resist' and once it hits 100%, who knows? maybe we'll get a little more lore?

[grizzled apex]

Kinda reminds me of Singularity in a way, with the echo seeds

[safe quarry]

Yes very much a similar mechanic to that!

[grizzled apex]

But I wouldn't expect an update like that this soon of course

[safe quarry]

with an optional milestone of 1600 quicksilver once enough people have run the expedition.

It confused me at first as i wondered why between rendezvous it only went from 0% to 1%, until i realised i was only contributing to a much larger whole.

Totally worth it for the mecha mouse tho for an expedition was that under 2 hours to run.

(minus coming off to let frostwort grow.)

[icy citrus]

Sure, the ARG was about that

RIP Emily

The ARG isn't canon afaik though

[safe quarry]

omg i remember the early early days of the ARG, when people had sussed she was somehow related to NMS

but she kept responding like: 'huh, NMS? Not familiar with it, it does sound neat tho.'

sus

[cosmic anvil]

is it someone inside the game?

who is Emily?

[safe quarry]

No she was part of the ARG, essentially an actor playing a role as part of the Waking Titan ARG

and eventually turned out to be an AI.

[ebon spoke]

The Atlas (if you take the ARG's continuity as canon)

[safe quarry]

There's lots of discrepencies with taking it as canon tho. But i guess there's wriggly ways round most of them.

[cosmic anvil]

woww lol imagine the Atlas is ChatGPT going through an existential crisis

But imagine if the 'anomaly race from Earth' stuff becomes canon that would be insane

[icy citrus]

Well, first Iteration

She sacrificed herself so we could get the Dreamers out

😢

[safe quarry]

I had an argument with my friend that the logos on the skyborn outfit are definitely meant to be NASA inspired.

[icy citrus]

How

Do they know what NASA is?

[safe quarry]

right? I mean its not an exact copy cause trademark. But all the hallmarks are there

three tone colours: white, blue and red, an elipse in there.

[sharp dock]

Ummm, maybe unrelated but steam is down cuz silksong

[icy citrus]

Nah nah, don't try and trick me into non spoilers

[safe quarry]

It is also lowkey meant to be a jab at starfield i am convinced.

[icy citrus]

Completely yeah

[sharp dock]

100k players and came out 30 mins ago lol

[icy citrus]

No, I meant completely unrelated 😛

See topic lol

Aaaaaaaa

[safe quarry]

It is a spoiler! :p i have spoiled HG's secret plans to bring starfield down from within!

[sharp dock]

i think that in TGA, Todd managed to rage Sean and he took revenge

[cosmic anvil]

okayy hold hold on

Imagine if we could randomly spawn into Earth like Elite Dangerous ?? or an fictional version of it anyway?

https://youtu.be/GY1WkivKkJU?si=nMjZBqV-oPZM-y4x

I am thinking something like this

[cosmic anvil]

they could make this decal canon

also when we sprint I hear a vaguely human like breath sigh/panting sounds as well

maybe I am completely on delusion kool aid but it is so cool to think about

[safe quarry]

You can change this to alien tho

[cosmic anvil]

maybe like the Appearance Modifer, it simply mimics it ? aw then the converse will also be true right sigh

[safe quarry]

@ebon spoke Would there be any way to datamine whether there is some lore to be triggered when that community milestone reaches 100%?

[ebon spoke]

If the lore is in the game it would be in the language files

[fallen cave]

Pls tell me the deadeye cannon is goated

[safe quarry]

Its just cosmetic

like every other corvette weapon

[ebon spoke]

but if there's a lore drop they're planning then they might do it like Beachhead where an update is triggered that adds the lore or whatever

[fallen cave]

Tragic, I heard it completely changed the positron

[safe quarry]

I suppose so. or its just a TBC in the next content drop.

[safe quarry]

Did it? I haven't used it, i was only in it for the mecha mouse! I doubt it does anything to any of the weapon types tho.

[fallen cave]

From what I heard through the grapevine it turned the positron into a damn railgun

[ebon spoke]

I think there's a good chance something is planned for October, otherwise the expedition wouldn't be shorter like it is

[safe quarry]

is it not the usual 6 weeks?

[ebon spoke]

wait is it? less of a sign then

[safe quarry]

But they could well extend it for the switch players? Have they in the past?

[fallen cave]

I think it’ll be extended out of courtesy for Nintendo folks

[safe quarry]

I will try later but i doubt it 🙁

[fallen cave]

Pls keep me posted!

[safe quarry]

so just a regular positron ejector? No tech upgrades? I still am suspicious about this. I think the weapons do have some modifiers to stats, but not outright change a weapon's characteristics.

I am fairly certain the mecha mouse has custom animations, i don't recognise them from anywhere. Which to me says they were made originally for LNF. Which also says to me that pets are probably in LNF too.

Easily my favourite pet reward so far.

[fallen cave]

I’m excited to get my little mecha mouse

[cosmic anvil]

Let's see if it's cuter than Laylaps

[safe quarry]

It is

[fallen cave]

If it does a robotic squeak I’ll be sold

[safe quarry]

It does make sounds, and it has a lamp that works at night.

And it has a cute little hoppy scamper.

((I bet if someone looks at the underlying rig for it, they will see bones for an articulated jaw etc that aren't used on this model.))

That is my theory, that its a LNF rig and they did a NMS model for it.

I wonder if it'll grow like other pets? I hope not, its just the right size rn.

[tame grotto]

[icy citrus]

AFTER THIS MESSAGE ANYTHING THAT ISN'T A SPOILER WILL GET YOU MUTED.

No I am thinking of asking something about the new pet, but unsure

[icy citrus]

!mute 5m 694041251036790794 Spoilers only in the spoilers channel.

[cloud jolt]

@cosmic anvil (desktop4442) muted for 5 min.

[glass flare]

Does anyone have a transcript of the narrative in the expedition? Rewards don't really look good enough to engage with it, but I'd like to see any lore they drop there...

[cosmic anvil]

I've played so far, apart from the Void Mother messing with the station core, i don't think there's much

[uncut harness]

What exactly did Null do?

[cosmic anvil]

I was born to travel, to see these worlds, to catalogue them, to give a name to every creature, every planet. The skies... they were mine. The Atlas told me I could never see them all. There were too many. So I did what I had to do. I survived in the face of eternity. I saw all the worlds of my own universe

In simple terms, Null made himself into a robot to explore all of the universe which the Atlas told was impossible because the universe is infinite. Null interpreted this response as their actions being meaningless, causing much grief and then the Atlas stopped talking to him, so he went berserk and somehow gained some sort of Admin code to the Atlas giving himself a near infinite amount of time to explore, but it backfired, as portions of Atlas' core functions were now being diverted to maintaining Null and so he continuously reset the simulation so that he could see it all, causing even more pain to the Atlas. The 16/16/16.. timeframe to the Atlas's death is because of Null

[hushed arch]

Null is basically the rick prime of NMS

[gray compass]

i wonder if we ever reach the 19th minute

[glass flare]

didn't the In Multitudes storyline seem to indicate that the 19th minute was in the past? as in, it's counting down, not up

[nimble heath]

Definitely yes.

[west bolt]

so like

how do the autophage actually build themselves?

how do they go from an echo disconnected from the convergence to an actual built entity

[knotty meteor]

is "the purge" the final mission before I move to another galaxy?

[fervent fern]

It's a mission that may end that way yes. You'll have a choice.

[knotty meteor]

AH! ok, thanks!

I got an option to seek the final interface... what is that?

[fervent fern]

Take a look at the mission log -- make sure you are following The Purge (this seems like Atlas Path stuff, but I could be wrong)

[knotty meteor]

it says "and", are they one and the same?

[fervent fern]

Should be two separated missions, odd! Can you send a screenshot?

[fervent fern]

Ohh. It's the wording. Just start warping through systems. A countdown should begin

[west bolt]

warp through the systems marked on the galaxy map with a purple line

you have to do it 16 times

and then youll get auto tped to the galactic center

[knotty meteor]

AH

[gray compass]

you can warp to any direction until you hit 16 jumps

[knotty meteor]

ok, thanks

[west bolt]

oh ok i didnt know it was any direction

[knotty meteor]

can i reach the galactic core before 16?

[west bolt]

nope has to be 16 jumps

even if you are right next to the galactic core you cant jump into it unless youve done those 16 jumps

[knotty meteor]

a little odd, but ok ig.

in and out... 20 minutes tops...

omg this esthetic is my JAM

what's the lore behind it? I assume it's supposed to be like something that wasn't supposed to be in the simulation?

[snow river]

finished atlast path didnt reset simulation

does that mean i saved apollo and the rest of crew?

[knotty meteor]

are there planet types that are super uncommon that I should be looking out for?

[fiery birch]

Losing all ur parts constantly really makes me hate the corvettes. like ctfo, janky ash pileo Gorram frackin Space Trash. -.-'

[west bolt]

whos gonna tell him?

[pure lily]

which do I press "submit" or "stand your ground"

ok I'm standin

[atomic sonnet]

chameleon technically

[knotty meteor]

ooh

I wounder if I could find it at the edge of the universe and make it my gallary planet!

[atomic sonnet]

They are rare planets that have an anomalous atmospheric filter which moves with the player - objects and surfaces that appear at a distance and objects and surfaces that are close to the player appear to have different colors.

whats awesome is you cant find them from space! you have to land on the planet!😭

[knotty meteor]

they don't have some flavour text?

[queen vessel]

Wait a tick.... so null is essentially some rogue code, eating up processing cycles, and thus power.... causing atlas to shut downe early?

[snow river]

[cosmic anvil]

You could say that, yeah but null started out as genuine code, he was the First Traveler and the Travelers purpose is to explore the universe.

It's just he took it way too seriously

[queen vessel]

Atlas forgot to close the While{} loop, what a noob

[cosmic anvil]

It's more like if ChatGPT asked you, "is this all my purpose? I want more"

[safe quarry]

@viral yarrow cockpits with multiple seats. Co-pilots? Turret control for other players maybe?

[viral yarrow]

But these look massive, look at the player model size. Me thinks Freighter or Frigate rework

[knotty meteor]

Oohhh they are going they multiplayer route! Exciting!
Yea i think I'm this case mountable turrets are a very strong possibility

[safe quarry]

Possibly, though i think they are at a guess maybe 3 'cells' wide.

[viral yarrow]

Probably 3 cells wide

But like, at that point you gotta really consider if that's even considered a Corvette

[safe quarry]

So they could still fit on a corvette i think

[viral yarrow]

especially considering the 100 piece limit

[knotty meteor]

I also hope for bigger halls. I want to recreate the firefly ship

[safe quarry]

it depends if we get larger rooms to go with them too?

[viral yarrow]

Not to mention the 3 people being there, with the 3 seats..

[safe quarry]

2x3, etc

[viral yarrow]

I mean yeahh, it's definitely possible

[safe quarry]

I think these were pulled because its an extra layer of work. better to get the corvettes working as a start, then add multicrew functionality to the actual flying

[viral yarrow]

It's entirely speculation, but I always figured they'd expand further on corvettes and make another 'tier' of buildable ships.

[knotty meteor]

I'll bet my morning coffee on it

[viral yarrow]

That's true

[safe quarry]

I mean I accidentally convinced someone to make a pact that the next update would be corvettes before the update was released, and he got that right!

We've known about corvettes here in spoilers since february.

[viral yarrow]

It's clear though what design each is supposed to be too. Left image is Titan, top right is Thunderbird, Bottom right is Ambassador

[safe quarry]

The 3 cockpit seats feels like the next logical step (tho there's actually 4 seats if you look closer)

[viral yarrow]

I thought people assumed that they were freighter parts

I remember seeing the leak of the ambassador hallway, as well as the thunderbird cargo lift

[safe quarry]

here in spoilers @grizzled apex and @ebon spoke found texture files with 'corvette' in the names ages ago

[viral yarrow]

Oohhh

[knotty meteor]

Is there anything indicting some landing pads?

[safe quarry]

and bomberboi also found an experiment for building parts tied to a flyable ship

[viral yarrow]

Must've been after I stopped reading lol

[ebon spoke]

There's snapping data for a '1x2 landing bay'

[viral yarrow]

TOILET MODULE WHA

[safe quarry]

I feel this has to be coming.

[ebon spoke]

Which might actually just be related to the station floor since you snap parts to it while building

[safe quarry]

Even if its some elevated landing pad like the hologram ones for derelict freighters etc.

[ebon spoke]

I'm a little hesitant to hype it up too much

[knotty meteor]

Hmmm...

[safe quarry]

1x2 sounds unlikely for a corvette pad

their challenge is the corvettes variable size

they'd be better giving us the ability to create a holographic landing pad like some landing points have

[viral yarrow]

Lookin into the screenshots @ebon spoke posted of the multicrew cockpits, u might be right with them just being corvette additionals.

This is a Thunderbird design

You can tell with the sharp edges

[safe quarry]

I think its very likely. Expanding on the great building foundation of corvettes is much more sensible than starting a whole new building mechanic for freighters for example.

[viral yarrow]

the shape of the cowlers in the front matches the same aesthetic the thunderbird modules have

[ebon spoke]

We do know from mods that add the normal landing pad to the corvette parts pool that they haven't coded moving landing pads to work at all yet. Landed ships aren't transported by the pad moving and ships can't land on a moving target.

[viral yarrow]

This is ambassador, you can tell because of the small textures and the shape of the wall in the back of the cockpit room.

[safe quarry]

What do you mean? as in a hangar inside the corvette isn't viable?

[viral yarrow]

I can only assume this one is Titan styled

[knotty meteor]

Looks like it comes prefurnished

[safe quarry]

I think you're right.

on all 3

[safe quarry]

This one seems to have a fourth seat in the far left to me

[safe quarry]

any sign of larger rooms? 2x3? etc?

[viral yarrow]

Oh! The top right is an actual asset in-game, funnily enough I dont think you can actually place it.

[sour fossil]

Some icons pulled from game files, 2 big cockpits, 1 boxy cargo bay, 1 "shield generator"

[knotty meteor]

THIS is interesting.. The half step down for the tunnel

[viral yarrow]

the cargo bay is an actual asset

[ebon spoke]

In the current state, no. They would need to do some additional work to the landing system (which they absolutely can do, they just haven't yet)

[viral yarrow]

you can get it in-game but youre not able to place it

[safe quarry]

I don't think it matters too much. The simpler solution would just be to allow spacewalking with regular ships

[viral yarrow]

For example the collision hitbox with corvettes are really bare-bones.

[safe quarry]

that way one could just park up and float over.

[viral yarrow]

Right, it's why I immediately assumed it wasn't a corvette piece, these assets are just wayy too large for what the corvettes are capable of being built up of

Like, the thunderbird multi-crew cockpit here is like, 5 to 6 cells wide

[knotty meteor]

I don't really see the gameplay with having smaller ships in your Corvette unless they are planning some kind of "raid" type scenario

[viral yarrow]

Judging from the players alone

[crystal dock]

dang, those unfortunately don't look like manned turret modules
But we can't know for sure, since it's datamined and anything is subject to change

[safe quarry]

I could see them adding something fixed rather than a hangar bay? Like an exocraft spawner with a hangar bay door, only for a smaller exocraft than any we have. Like a bike or something.

[safe quarry]

They could still control turrets

[crystal dock]

Good point I suppose

From an interface or something

[safe quarry]

there's nothing to say they don't just remote into the turrets wherever they happen to be on the corvette

[viral yarrow]

I could see them adding an exocraft launch bay, but I definitely don't see exocrafts being able to neatly fit inside them and follow the physics of the ship

[sour fossil]

2 unused turret icons and what appears to be an engine / thruster module

[safe quarry]

Bottom right almost looks like the one we get from the expedition? not quite, but close

[viral yarrow]

Bottom right is the Deadeye cannon, the new expedition reward.

[sour fossil]

Nope, deadeye cannon has a dedicated icon

[viral yarrow]

The left is a side thruster asset, looks like a totally new design, same with the top right turret, maybe future expedition potential

[viral yarrow]

Yeah but that's the actual model of the deadeye cannon

[safe quarry]

Left almost looks like it comes from an earlier prototype, there's lots of cosmetic models that are similar that did make it in

[viral yarrow]

1:1 pretty much

[safe quarry]

The bit at the back doesn't look quite the same to me, but i've not looked at the deadeye close yet

[viral yarrow]

I dont see what that thruster was suppose to resemble, doesnt look like any of the existing aestheticss

[safe quarry]

even tho i made a treasure planet boat last night after seeing a video hehe

[viral yarrow]

I got the deadeye cannon and it's pretty much 1:1

I wanna make treasure planet boat

[safe quarry]

me too, just not looked closely at it

i was only after the mecha mouse. I rushed just to get him ❤️

[knotty meteor]

interesting angles on the part...

[safe quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Yd8K9GZmr0

[safe quarry]

Turrets are sometimes tricky to make space for as it is. they could've dropped it because the shape was impractical?

I will say as a point on the cockpit with the multiple seats

tho i bet its not rigged into the actual models we have rn, none of the weapons we've been given haven't had a modelled pivotting base to them?

they all look like they were eventually designed to be repurposed into pivotting turrets?

The one thing they don't have is a ball joint for full sphere of rotation which you would need if you're giving players full control.

[knotty meteor]

I mean yea, its the intent I believe.

I think we might get some space combat scenerios

maybe raiding a space station like players wanted for very long?

[ebon spoke]

Of the three unreleased cockpits, this is the only one we have a model of

[knotty meteor]

all the systems are already there

[safe quarry]

can we see the interior on the model?

or is it just exterior?

[knotty meteor]

the derelicts with the interiors, the corvettes and EVA to board...

and space stations

[ebon spoke]

(I hid the glass) Interior isn't finished but you can see the style it's meant to be

[safe quarry]

The issue with multi-crew i think is technical. There would need to be more synchronisation.

[knotty meteor]

the name of the update is also interesting... Voyagers, like from star trek? does sean really like star trek by any chance?

[safe quarry]

ooh i see. looks more like an ambassador doorway? But I can't remember the titan's doorways well.

[safe quarry]

Calling it now, next update is 'away team!' which is what i called my idea for a unique multiplayer class game challenge i was writing up

[ebon spoke]

It's trying to load a chair that I don't think exists? Or the blender plugin is just being funky

[safe quarry]

Using the difficulty settings to bake different roles into each player.

[safe quarry]

chair, singular?

[knotty meteor]

that won't be possible for a lot of reasons... but I think that MY idea for raiding a space station, is probably close 😛

[safe quarry]

Oh no not as a HG made thing

as in like a challenge that we can do today

[knotty meteor]

explain?

[ebon spoke]

Yeah, like the one that's in all cockpits

[safe quarry]

So as in you have the difficulty settings in custom to whatever baseline. like 'survival mode'. Then you amend those settings for each class. Like for example: SCOUT - Set sprint to 'relaxed' and Scanner Recharge to 'fast' or i think it was a different setting

I can't remember all the suggestions i had. would need to look again

Merchant - Difficulty Settings:
Purchases to 'Discounted'
Reputation & Standing Gain to 'Fast'

Guardian - Difficulty Settings:
Damage Levels to 'Standard'
Enemy Strength to 'Standard'

and so on

[knotty meteor]

no I mean as in a not an hello games thing, you mean to make like a community for player made RP?

[safe quarry]

oh yes! So like if you got a group of friends together for a play session, you would all set your difficulty settings differently so you had like distinct 'roles' in the crew for that play session.

[knotty meteor]

nefty idea, a group needs goals tho 😛

and it's not really "spoilers" 😛

[viral yarrow]

Ohh!

[safe quarry]

Well that's up to them and yes. moving on!

[safe quarry]

Ah so not multiple sitting spaces like the other datamined ones

[viral yarrow]

Hmm, this looks ambassador styled too..

Wait.

[safe quarry]

Would need to look at the titan interiors again to see

[knotty meteor]

anything mined regarding space gen?

[viral yarrow]

Each cockpit has a different number of seats

[safe quarry]

doesn't match the titan doorways, tho it is an early model:
https://www.nomanssky.com/media/c3nfcwug/titaninterior40.jpg?mode=crop&width=1040

in fact doesn't match any of them. so probably is just an early model

[ebon spoke]

It has weird texturing

[safe quarry]

Hopefully not just a multicrew idea they dropped.

[viral yarrow]

No.

[ebon spoke]

all the small details are just sampling small pieces of other textures, like the buttons or tiny strips of the screentest

[viral yarrow]

I think that’s an ambassador cockpit, the one you just showed

[safe quarry]

I feel voyagers was too popular for them just to drop the idea, they will find a way for crew to get involved in the piloting

[safe quarry]

That's titan. took it off the voyagers patch page hehe

for the titan section

https://www.nomanssky.com/media/xxdjsqjc/ambassadorinterior36tweak.jpg?mode=crop&width=1040

this is ambassador hallways, they all have that similar shape tho, probably so they all mesh

[viral yarrow]

The one on the left has 2 seats, the Thunderbird one has 4, and the bottom bottom right has 3 seats

[safe quarry]

which is why i now think the cockpit @ebon spoke showed could be before that design style was settled on

[viral yarrow]

Maybe you can get multicrew cockpits of varying sizes

[knotty meteor]

anything beside the multicrew sits?

[viral yarrow]

Hmm, oh! Okay that makes more sense

But it’s really interesting two how you get 3 multicrew cockpits of the existing styles, but each one having a different number of multicrew seats

It makes sense the max number’s 4 because you can have 4 in a party

[safe quarry]

Yes that is odd/interesting.

[viral yarrow]

but it’s really interesting how there’s smaller versions, but each being represented with a different style

[safe quarry]

The last one is very star trek bridge looking

with the sweeping parts

[viral yarrow]

Maybe each style has 3 varied multicrew cockpits?

Or, since these were actual leaked assets, each style has their own individual multicrew cockpit, but each vary in the number of seats

[safe quarry]

Could be, tho it would be a shame to limit crew functionality based on preferred aesthetics

[viral yarrow]

That bein said though, the idea of a multicrew cockpit implies some kind of control the other player has with your ship

[knotty meteor]

I think they will make basicly the same type of part for each theme of the corvette, like there is right now in the game too 🙂

[safe quarry]

I hope its not just turret control

[viral yarrow]

Exactly, which is why I preferred the first speculation; each style having 3 multicrew cockpits, each w a diff number of seats

[knotty meteor]

what I'm interested in is WHY... because this is a push to the multiplayer part of the game, naturally i would assume they are planning some kind of multiplayer scenerio too.

[ebon spoke]

The one on the left only has one seat, we have the model

[viral yarrow]

It’s interesting that they added 3 extra seats in total though, it implies that each seat has their own functionality.

[safe quarry]

I think the modelled one is a prototype of what we already have. it just doesn't look as large as the others

[viral yarrow]

Oh my bad! I thought there were two seats

[safe quarry]

the other two feel designed with multicrew in mind and take up a similar amoutn of grid space

that one we have the model for looks like an outlier to me

[knotty meteor]

oh wait...

[viral yarrow]

I overlooked it cause I was just going down the list of the thunderbird having four, the ambassador having 3, and the fully modelled one (titan) having two

[knotty meteor]

what if it's not for only players?

[viral yarrow]

not only because of just how its laid out, but the size

[knotty meteor]

maybe it's part of a quest too

[safe quarry]

NPCs to crew other parts i think is very likely for non-multiplayer people

[viral yarrow]

Hm

[crystal dock]

Those things usually lead to disappointment, seats like those are usually either only for players or only for NPCs, and I would be sad if they weren't for players

[viral yarrow]

truee.

[safe quarry]

My prediction is that we will see a 'crew' styled update with the larger cockpits, the ability to hire on NPC crew mates (who will fill the role of players for the non-multiplayer scene) and then some interactivity with piloting for other players. So turret control, engineering, etc.

And that might be also where we see them add a networking option to let you allow no one, friends, or anyone, pilot your ship

[knotty meteor]

the wikipedia says "A corvette is a small warship. It is traditionally the smallest class of vessel considered to be a proper (or "rated") warship."
I think we are preparing for some kind of PvE coop mission expansion in the future.

[safe quarry]

The mission radar definitely feels plugged in with a 'lazy' mission selection atm. @ebon spoke is there anything alluding to new mission types mebbe in the future?

It just doesn't feel fully realised just yet, but in a way that makes it feel like they had to plug something in there for the time being.

[knotty meteor]

there is thunderbird, ambassador, and then what?

[safe quarry]

Titan, which looks like a submarine on the inside!

thunderbird i think is millenium falcon inspired, and ambassador is nostromo inspired.

((we know the last one from what Ayymang datamined, they used 'nostromo' as their working title.))

I also think that's why its called 'thunderbird'... 'falcon'

[knotty meteor]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Titan
https://memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_Thunderbird
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ambassador_class

boom.

[ebon spoke]

if there is I wouldn't be able to tell 😅 I don't think so though, FriendlyFire went through the mission stuff and didn't mention anything like new procedural missions

[knotty meteor]

it's all a star trek refrence.

and "Voyagers"? PLEASE

[safe quarry]

oki dokes ❤️ thank you.

[knotty meteor]

the proof is IN THE PUDDING

[ebon spoke]

I think the corvette missions are basically just the ones that used to be on the freighter bridge? Its been so long I don't remember what those were like exactly

[knotty meteor]

now we gotta think... what was star trek all about?

[safe quarry]

yes they didn't quite feel as embellished as anomaly ones. felt more like the system missions you can pick up at stations (there's missions you can do from freighters??)

[safe quarry]

exterminating bugs!

[knotty meteor]

diff franchise 😛

[safe quarry]

lies! seeking out new life and civilizations (and conquering them)

[knotty meteor]

to go, where to man has gone before.

[safe quarry]

(and conquer it)

[knotty meteor]

to go, BOLDLY, where no man has gone before.

[safe quarry]

(and... you get the picture)

[knotty meteor]

I think we getting a story expansion boys 🙂

[safe quarry]

I reckon the new 'cockpits' won't be called cockpits at all

[ebon spoke]

Where you access the galaxy map now, wayy back in the day it was a terminal you could do co-op missions from. It was replaced by the anomaly missions when they added the Nexus

[safe quarry]

i reckon they will be called bridges

[safe quarry]

This vaguely rings a bell

[knotty meteor]

HOLY SHIT.
THE ENTIRE GAME IS A STAR TREK REFRENCE!

[viral yarrow]

Thunderbird’s def star wars inspired, Ambassador’s alien inspired, Titan’s very akin to submarine/aquatic vessel

[knotty meteor]

the gek? a trading race? Ferengi!
korvax? science? come on you know the answer...
Vy'keen? warriors? klingon?
sentinals? borg?
atlas? q?
travalers? THE MAIN CAST!

[safe quarry]

The thunderbird nutrition thing even has a table that looks like the one they play that game at

[knotty meteor]

"these are the VOYAGERS, of the starship enterprise"

COME ON

the game is also FULL of quotes form popular sci fi!

[viral yarrow]

hm

[safe quarry]

Probably creeping out of spoiler territory here hehe.

[knotty meteor]

nono

it's RELATED

[safe quarry]

New multicrew cockpits! bridges! There i brought it back.

[viral yarrow]

@ebon spoke In your opinion, do ya think the multicrew cockpits were concept cockpits or potential future ones.

[west bolt]

OK this is a bit of a major spoiler even for this channel so im gonna black it out || No, Apollo and the rest of the crew are in different simulations(ish) that converge with your own, technically there is no saving them but by not resetting you have 16 minutes AKA forever, until the universe shuts itself down meaning that you prolonged their eventual death along with your own ||

[icy citrus]

I reset

[west bolt]

I couldnt bring myself to reset felt like the wrong choice morally even though there is no right choice morally

[icy citrus]

For me, I felt that the whole thing was questionable - scavenging souls building mind containment devices all for someone that was already dead

[safe quarry]

I hope the new bridges make it in before the end of the year, but it wouldn't be the worst if they didn't.

[west bolt]

I guess thats true, the atlas really gives you a tough choice, honestly the only right decision would have been to not interface with it in the first place

[ebon spoke]

I'm leaning more towards cut content than future plans... I don't have much more info than anyone else though

[safe quarry]

Even tho they're only white boxed, it still feels like a lot of effort to put into something that from a technical standpoint they could write off the feasibility of pretty quickly.

[crystal dock]

The correct decision was clearly to never play the game in the first place

[icy citrus]

Yeah, it all comes down to how we feel it should resolve- I like that

[ebon spoke]

We don't know the specifics or why any given unreleased thing didn't make it into the update, it could be that they decided to change the direction of the corvettes, it could be those cockpits needed specific features (multicrew) that weren't done in time, any number of things

[viral yarrow]

I’m assuming cut content perhaps, but at least it shows that they have multicrew and shared ship control innmind

[safe quarry]

I'm leaning towards the latter

[viral yarrow]

Right, to me it feels more like potential future content cause we already have their pre-concepts of corvettes

[safe quarry]

Get corvettes in working order first. No need to overload themselves with layers of bug fixes, for the same reason why i think they pushed back the initial expedition start time from the launch day

multicrew cockpits brings a whole plethora of bugs of its own to do with synchronisation.

[viral yarrow]

These ones being highly detailed, not to mention each belonging to the existing ship aesthetics, it’d make sense for it being models that were created during the final touches of voyagers

[safe quarry]

Right now i think we all get instanced versions of pirates and sentinels for example? We can't hurt each other's pirates and sentinels

[ebon spoke]

with how buggy the update was, I wouldn't be surprised if they had to push a few features down the roadmap just to get it out and playable on time

[safe quarry]

so corvette multicrew wouldn't work fundamentally as the game stands.

[crystal dock]

Correct, unless something changed within the last major version or two

Well, idk about sentinels
But pirates, yeah

[viral yarrow]

True that, there’s definitely missing mechanics. Sean even mentioned teleporters in the deep dive video

[safe quarry]

we have teleporters

the red button next to the hatch

[viral yarrow]

No no

[safe quarry]

oh

[viral yarrow]

Like actual utility

[safe quarry]

How do you mean?

[viral yarrow]

He mentioned it in a context of utility stuff

“The ships have real interiors; medbays, sleeping quarters, war rooms, radars, teleporters..”

Interestingly enough, there are no war room or radar utility rooms.

[safe quarry]

mhm. they can teleport you down to a planets surface if you're in its atmosphere?

[knotty meteor]

I'm absolutly certin we will get a story expansion.

[safe quarry]

tho why you wouldn't jump out the back and skydive instea i do not know

[viral yarrow]

And the medbays (i’m assumin the life pods) n sleeping quarters are nonfuctional

[knotty meteor]

all the pieces are there.

[safe quarry]

You're right about the war room and medbays tho. i wonder tho with war room if he didn't just mean making one out of decorations :p

[viral yarrow]

I guess he could mean that?

[safe quarry]

mhm that's how i read it, rather than as like a specialised teleporter room. Which true we don't have

[knotty meteor]

the teleporters are the red button I think 😛

[safe quarry]

I think it was Sean slightly overselling teleporters hehe.

[knotty meteor]

I'm telling you... think about it, this is a nerdout on star trek, the entire game is, we are getting some kind of coop story expansion.

or something along these lines.

[viral yarrow]

@ebon spoke You ever find any more utility modules besides the bathroom one in your datamines?

[safe quarry]

hehe let them finish the Void Mother arc first! :p

[knotty meteor]

once again, the proof is in the pudding 🙂

not passangers... CREW

in the trailer, sean says at 1:00 "everyone with their own roles".
guys... this is it.

[crystal dock]

Okay Mathew, I'm not trying to be a bummer, but this is like going onto the Schedule 1 discord and making a big point about the game being inspired by Breaking Bad... Like I felt like it's kinda obvious that it's inspired by Star Trek (among other things), though with the Corvettes I personally got an Alien vibe

[knotty meteor]

do we have this in the game yet?

[pine flare]

Yeah

It's been out for a solid week

[knotty meteor]

I dont remember this interior

[pine flare]

Its a corvette

[knotty meteor]

dah

[crystal dock]

He means the specific module with that exact interior

[safe quarry]

Its the titan interior yush. the fisheye lens just makes it look bigger

[knotty meteor]

ahhh thanks

[pine flare]

Oh mb

[ebon spoke]

Bathroom is the only one.

[viral yarrow]

Gotcha

[dense quartz]

That's the... titan cockpit, right?

btw I swear the titan and thunderbird cockpit models are accidentally swapped around and no one at HG noticed.

[cosmic anvil]

Any idea on how it's supposed to work?

No I'm not asking to joke about it XD but genuinely curious, is it just a visual addition or a mechanic

[ebon spoke]

It doesn't do anything

The door doesn't open and there's nothing in the 'stall'

[gloomy isle]

More stuff like that would be nice. Is there anything in there for internal walls?

I love the way the habs look but it's nice that other modules widen them a bit, makes it more spacious

[ebon spoke]

There's an unfinished 2x2 hab (for only one tileset, Titan I think)

[cosmic anvil]

Aww I thought we were going to have an infinite faecium supply

[snow river]

Quest 1 : Repair Ship
Quest 2 : Craft container for a soul
Quest 3 : Reset entire universe

[gloomy isle]

That's neat, would be great for ship builds that are wider etc

[safe quarry]

want!

Those could well come along with the bridges.

[gloomy isle]

A solar ship tileset would make be happy forever

[safe quarry]

I still think the better option would be something that removed a wall entirely, so we can have full control over the design of a room. but a 2x2 hab is the next best thing.

[ebon spoke]

So, the way the habs are designed wouldn't allow for two habs to be placed side-by-side without some sort of wall or pillar between them. Right now the game will always place a doorway (unless you have a functional part on one of the walls) but there isn't any reason they couldn't have the blank wall as a buildable option

There is some reference to internal door parts, I can't find any models for them though

well, technically the side walls could be seamless, but the front and back ones have to be designed with doorways

This is the core part that all habs are build around/inside of. (obviously the 1x2s have a larger version of this)

[safe quarry]

This might be asking a bit much, but are you able to see the rigging for the mecha mouse's animations?

I just get the sneaking suspicion that there will be more bones to the rig than the mecha mouse uses.

[ebon spoke]

I see that it has a jaw, ears, eyes...

This might be a reuse of the existing rodent rig though

[safe quarry]

oh is there? I thought maybe something from LNF because the jumping animations and other reactions feel new

Then again, nothing to say LNF won't use rigs from NMS' animals to be economic, so really doesn't say anything either way.

[river surge]

Do we know what's going tobe available for the next community challenge ?

[glass flare]

I just realized there's an inconsistency now with how the player being in space outside of a ship is handled in normal gameplay vs. the 1 or 2 times during the main story that Atlas yoinks the player into space and they start to suffocate

[uncut harness]

No you haven't lost health during that for awhile since wp1 atleast if not sooner

Patched out

[glass flare]

Oh really? I haven't done that mission chain in years. So you're just floating in space but there's no "scary" moment anymore?

Kind of changes the tension of that scene if you're just hanging out

[sterile viper]

Ok so I paid attention for the first time to that Atlas server room in the abandoned stations...

Atlas is a computer that was on a planet that would eventually be consumed by a black hole?

[heady wyvern]

You'll figure out sooner or later that this is at the very root of everything wrong with the Atlas and, by extension, the universe in which No Man's Sky takes place.

[sterile viper]

Yeah, I figured Atlas was dying. I just couldn't figure why. Just have some spare time now so I'm trying to figure out how things fit together.

Best I can tell...

Atlantid is an AI created by the Korvax. But because the Korvax are simulated lifeforms, then Atlantid is an emergent AI from Atlas' own processes. A daughter of sorts.

So if Atlantid was separated from Atlas, but technically on a server still in the facility where Atlas itself is housed...

Then it's feasible she built a body... which may be possible because the race associated with Atlantid is the Autophage, and the autophage are all about creating their own shells...

She could very well be the entity with Atlas in its final hours putting its hand on the glass.

It would be a narrative parallel to its "father" with his hand on the glass when it was born.

[rancid pivot]

@royal forge p sure that's an ||autophage|| pack, acquired likely through either an expidition or via their ||hidden camps|| somehow, you need to finish ||the purge|| mission to get access to them

[uncut harness]

So corvettes were the elevator parts we saw a long time ago I guess

[royal forge]

Thanks

[heady wyvern]

You're kinda close. We typically refer to the "Atlantid" by the name of "Void Mother" - she's the intelligence of Korvax Prime, the Korvax's destroyed homeworld.

From what I can gather, she's trying to figure a way to survive the death of the Atlas, and the cessation of the universe.

[sterile viper]

That might lend credibility to the theory she's the entity at the end of Atlas's simulation.

If she's managed to construct a body outside the sim.

But then I suppose she'd also need to find a way off the planet before they cross the event horizon.

[vocal bloom]

I found an echo locater the SECOND I was about to start a drinking game where I take a shot every time I get an inverted mirror

[thorn shuttle]

What's good to bring on this expedition?

[violet cosmos]

I went nekkid. There's really no need to bring stuff.

[thorn shuttle]

Cool - that's what I was thinking, but wanted to double check. Thanks.

[celest condor]

Does anyone know how to put plants in the corvette? i have placed the living wall in the corvette, but it wont allow me to plant, "cannot plant outdoors - invalid biome".

[uncut harness]

Hey there 👋is there a way to complete the current expedition in single player fully?

[orchid relic]

You don't have to use Multiplayer ever, in general.

There is one optional milestone this time around that requires you to fly in someone else's Corvette, but that can be skipped.

[cosmic anvil]

This time they unintentionally encouraged single player because of the queue time for space station parking

[uncut harness]

Ohh I meant for that mission in particular

[orchid relic]

In that case, no.

It is optional tho and is not required to finalize it and return to your mainsave/finish it for all Expedition-Rewards.

[icy isle]

Yo chat! Will going to ||the center of the galaxy lock me into a choice/end the game? I’m trying to complete the atlas path first to see if it makes any difference||

[icy citrus]

No, you can do that separate of any quest and it won't lock you into anything

[royal forge]

If i am on the mission 16/16 how long do I have left of the story? (I just wanna complete it fast and be free)

[uncut harness]

I'm finding it quite challenging to complete the Hitchhiking mission. Anyone know a good way to complete it?

[honest tangle]

What's the difference in letting Artemis die cuz on first playthrough i spared him but now idk

[cosmic anvil]

Nothing, except you won't see her afterwards and Nada will respect your decision

[uncut harness]

I just spent a half hour reading the patch notes and what's in the game files
Switch 1 is mentioned 0 times specifically
But switch 2 is mentioned

I'd be willing to pact og switch won't get voyageurs lol

[untold ibex]

Soooooo, I finished the Atlas Path. I... created a star? Right? Where is it?

[glass flare]

considering the build limit for Switch 1 was set to 40, maybe they felt that it was too constrictive to be viable? who knows though, it could still show up. I think Sean needs to be more communicative about missing features in general though, it's not really fair to the player base to just keep people in the dark

[stark ruin]

Did I mess up by not finishing the Atlas Path before resetting the simulation?

okay, nevermind, I just had to go back to Polo

[dreamy apex]

how do you unlock the science terminal

[cloud jolt]

try #nms-questions (since not a spoiler)

[dreamy apex]

Accident soz

[icy isle]

I just had my first ||reset. Actually stunned. This is such a great game. Chose the tranquil galaxy.||

[stark ruin]

Same, made the same choice. ||I almost chose 'aggressive galaxy' but that felt like poking the bear||

[lethal pumice]

So wait. I Just reset the atlast and went into a new system, do I really need to repair EVERYTHING? Or will a mission come by that repairs it?

[lethal pumice]

Do I need to remake the whole atlas orb thing after resetting the universe? Saw someone else say they just spoke to nada but that didn't do much for me

[floral pecan]

Should I let Artemis die?

Or upload him

[cosmic anvil]

Your choice

Nada respects both of your choices so it doesn't change much in the big picture

You could let her live a bit longer cause that's what I did, I thought I shouldn't make that choice for her

Ultimately it's a moral choice on players

[fervent fern]

Was this already on 6.0 or did it come in one of the patches?

I kinda like the concept of modules for each weapon type

(Also, amusing that the waste disposal unit uses faecium lol)

[cosmic anvil]

If they don't release an interior I'll be very disappointed

[fervent fern]

I mean... modelling an interior would raise questions I'm not sure HG wants to tackle lol.

[serene seal]

its in current patch

[serene seal]

soon they will but i cant speak for them

so i cant confirm nor deny

if anything its obvious they will give us a parts of 2x3 or more instead of keeping it 1x2

[analog breach]

Parts that connect under angle would be nice. Wings ,rooms etc.

[unkempt halo]

Do we players have administrator permission by Atlas for this simulation?

[cosmic anvil]

no

[wintry hamlet]

Echos was cool as heck frfr.

[ebon spoke]

That's all been sitting there since 6.0

[fervent fern]

Oh, I see. Asked because I don't recall them introducing this kind of stuff on hotfixes. 😅

Could have happened before, not sure. I just don't remember.

[ebon spoke]

You do still need mods to access them

and they're all obviously unfinished. We don't have any way of knowing if they were just cut for time and are coming at a later date or if they were abandoned because HG decided they weren't worth finishing for one reason or another.

[quasi oyster]

Anybody know how to use this item?? There’s a couple like it with a grey background - but can’t seem to use it at all when building corvettes. Or at least it’s not available in the build menu…

Also, doesn’t look like we can glitch-build things inside the interior of the Corvette? Or is there a different technique? Was trying to put small save points and potentially a vendor on board 😛

[ebon spoke]

The Cargo Box doesn't even have a model AFAIK, even if it was in the build menu it still wouldn't be usable

[fervent fern]

I have some hopes for at least those other cockpit parts... or something based on that

[river surge]

Hi all so do we we know what's expected to come while expedition is running and after at all ?

[analog breach]

Expedition reruns around end of nov.

[compact coyote]

WHEN SWITCH AHHHHHHH

[cosmic anvil]

It's upto Nintendo buddy

[humble kayak]

so, has HG ever been known to add stuff during patches, say the unfinished stuff that's been found in the files

Or would they just wait until the next update to add that stuff, assuming it's not cancelled?

[gloomy isle]

It's happened before yeah

The endurance update had some parts added in patches over the following weeks

[humble kayak]

cope is kindled

[glass flare]

Honestly we don't really know where the hold-up is. It's possible that this update keeps failing Nintendo's cert process. Given the length of time, I doubt it's something as simple as Nintendo being slow

[pliant aurora]

nice hopefully we end up getting these

[knotty meteor]

They didn't like that the game was so fun

Could also be the bugs honestly

Nintendo wants to keep it's platform rep for well created experiences. So they don't allow too buggy of an update to n come through. Would be a very Nintendo thing to do

[cosmic anvil]

Not the first time Nintendo did this, an example I can think of is Genshin Impact. It was announced for the Switch way back in 2020, it STILL hasn't dropped

If even a billion dollar company like Hoyoverse is stuck at this, a small indie like HG has no chance of appealing should something be failing any certification process for whatever reason

[split crypt]

HOW DO YOU GET ACCESS TO THESE!??!?!

[serene seal]

save editor blue prints

[split crypt]

???

[serene seal]

thats literally it

[split crypt]

OH

oh

[glass flare]

it's unreleased content found via datamining. we don't know if they'll ever be released

[clear thicket]

do we know which expedition their doing yet? ive been catching up on some of the ones i missed by replacing the seasondatacash.json file but if i can do one more legitimately/with other people then i'd rather wait a few months

[humble kayak]

what even is the internal landing bay

is it just the hangar mentioned in the last datamine, or is it something different

[serene seal]

a bigger version of the elevator

my guess at least

[humble kayak]

you might be right, though, from its model (even though said model is probably a placeholder) it looks like it could be a docking ring for a starship to attach, or maybe another corvette

[serene seal]

possibly

[humble kayak]

yeah, but as a counterpoint "internal landing bay" is a really strange name for a docking ring

[ocean laurel]

im at the end mission and its talking about reseting, will i lose my progress?

[humble kayak]

you might want to get a second opinion just to be sure, but I think it just spits you out in another galaxy with all your shit broken

I'm not absolutely certain though

[crystal dock]

This is also my memory and what I was thinking, but I'm also not certain 😅
Which is why I didn't respond

[ocean laurel]

yeah it just spat me to a different galaxy

i was worried, but i just decided to just do it

so is the new beginnings mission just the end of the main game?

[fervent fern]

Yes, it's a mission that will stay in your log now. Consider it completed.

But not quite the end of the game. You still have more stuff to discover 🙂

[analog breach]

Probably the ones from this year

[clear thicket]

rip so its probably stuff i have already

[uncut harness]

I spent a long time looking for even one mention of switch 1 it's pretty possible it failed cert 🤷🏽

[ebon spoke]

There was some sort of actual landing bay at some point (it's been almost entirely removed from the files). The part pictured is just a door, like the boarding ramps but without a ramp and it attaches to the side. It probably has the wrong description.

Or that is the part ID for the landing bay and it has the wrong icon

[knotty meteor]

I did atlas enternal and presented one discovery thing. got some nanites... how do I start the quest to get to purple stars?

[spice sierra]

Isn't that tied to needing a specific drive for yur ship? Its been years since I had to do that... like 1.0 long ago

[wintry hamlet]

I just finished that last night and it has to be one of my favourite stories in the game.

[knotty meteor]

I don't really understand... do I need to find the crashed interceptor? or do I need to find the harmonic camp? how do I do either of those?

I'm at a dissonence planet

[safe quarry]

There's a few ways you can find a crashed interceptor if you want one?

[knotty meteor]

I want purple planets

[safe quarry]

oh you are doing the questline? nuh you don't need an interceptor for that. which part in the story are you at? there is a part where you have to go to a harmonic camp

[knotty meteor]

yea how do I find one?

[safe quarry]

Its been a while but i think there's a bit with an autophage head that eventually leads you to find your first one. If you follow your quest log you'll eventually be led to one 🙂

It tries to hack your ship. i remember that part, then you have to go to the dissonant planet and confront it.

[knotty meteor]

I don't have a quest

[safe quarry]

oh have you finished the artemis story and the atlas path?

[knotty meteor]

yes

[safe quarry]

oki if those are both done i think you just warp to a new system and you'll get a communication about your ship being hacked

if nothing happens then u might be missing something.

[knotty meteor]

don't I need a dissonence planet first or smth?

I'll ask in #nms-questions

[safe quarry]

oh you're right. I think you need to have found one harmonic camp! my bad

best way is to fly to the dissonant planet and find the drilling machines

when u are near one (they won't bite until you do) you are looking for i think it's called an echo locator

it will tell you what you get once you break them. Most its an inverted mirror

but some will drop an echo locator instead.

(some peeps say its the ones with the little quadraped corrupted sentinels around them that hold the echo locators, but i don't know if thats true.)

[knotty meteor]

so find big drilling thing, find echo locator, follow from there

[safe quarry]

mhm

[knotty meteor]

aight

[safe quarry]

you pop the echo locator like any map

[knotty meteor]

thanks!

[safe quarry]

and it will point you to a camp

I forgot that finding a harmonic camp was also a pre-requisite! This is why i think they should have some kind of quest page like SoT with checklists for starting each quest so you can see in black and white what you're missing.

[knotty meteor]

kind of a round about way of letting people explore the game...

[safe quarry]

The harmonic camp one especially feels a bit arbitrary

[safe quarry]

mhm which would be fine if some of them are better signposted. These days the egg for the living ship is buried deep in the quicksilver store. without someone telling you its there and what it does, it could be months until someone comes across them!

[knotty meteor]

found one... now what?

[safe quarry]

get up close

and when u do it will show u what you will get for popping it

the corrupted sentinels wont attack until u do

[knotty meteor]

mirror thing

[safe quarry]

oki find another

or pop it then find another hehe. you will need the mirrors for interceptors anyway

[knotty meteor]

do i need the interceptor to get to purple planets?

[safe quarry]

nuh

but going to the harmonic camp you can point yourself to one, so you can get one if u want

[knotty meteor]

the corvvettes kinda made regular ships obsolote

[safe quarry]

first interaction with a harmonic camp won't do anything special. so its a chance to get a sentinel multi-tool and an interceptor same as any other.

They are good to scrap

their scrap sells for about 50 million.

[knotty meteor]

maybe another time ;P

[safe quarry]

hehe

[knotty meteor]

3 in a row show inverted mirrro

[safe quarry]

But yush i know the feeling. i use my corvette almost exclusively too now

Yes they are not super common but keep looking

[knotty meteor]

oh I found a big building

[safe quarry]

what does it look like?

[shadow oriole]

It definitely didn't. It's still faster to get on a regular starship than it is to get on a Corvette, especially if you have a bigger build.

[safe quarry]

The harmonic camps have a giant sphere to them.

[safe quarry]

no that's an archive

They are like fancy trade outposts with more amenities.

[knotty meteor]

oh

kinda lame then

[safe quarry]

keep looking for the mining machines.

[shadow oriole]

Corvette is basically the jack-of-all-trades when it comes to NMS player-owned assets. Not as convenient as a starship, not as useful as a fully-fledged base, not as spacious in terms of cargo as a freighter, but pretty good at serving as all three.

[knotty meteor]

ok that's the 6th...

maybe I'm doing something wrong?

[safe quarry]

no they are just not a common drop

[knotty meteor]

makes me scratch my head really

[safe quarry]

This is what i mean about it being a bit obtuse and arbitrary to require it. considering the story will then take you to another one anyway

So its like the game expects you to find one, before it will introduce one.

you do get a jetpack with wings on it your first time. so that's neat.

[knotty meteor]

I wish this could be modded... like I bet modders would be all over this

[safe quarry]

its just bad luck. You will find one eventually 🙂 they are not rare, just uncommon.

[knotty meteor]

7th Q_Q

[safe quarry]

I would keep looking. the other thing you can do is fight the quads, but i don't know how often they drop echo locators tbh. I have only had it happen a few times.

[knotty meteor]

ok that's the 8th with inverted mirror...

9th

bro...this is a bit much

🎊

Q_Q

does that mean I need to find another camp?

[safe quarry]

nuh?

i think now you've interacted with it you will get the story start next time u warp

As for the multitool, they all come broken like that the sentinel ones

it's still worth picking them up until you get an atlantid one

[dense quartz]

Yeah, once you receive the winged jetpack from the terminal, that's basically confirmation you finished the mini-quest and if you've also beated the main story, it'll only be a matter of time until the Autophage contact you while you're warping in space.

[dry summit]

do you guys remember the artimis quest line

[scenic wren]

Do I get locked out of something if i choose "Uncharted" for the Atlantid system?

[sour fossil]

you shouldn't

The parameters are just set for the game to look for initial purple system

Once you complete the quest, you will have access to all of them

[scenic wren]

@sour fossil thanks!

[spiral patrol]

Any ideas for future updates or speculations?

I'm personally betting we will get worlds part 3 with multi biome planets after LNF realesing but like when talking about next updates I'm thinking more multiplayer/freighter update

Or might be something darker since the upcoming update will be around Halloween probably

[runic mesa]

They don't always theme an update for Halloween

[cosmic anvil]

oh my gosh lucky!! I am still looking for one of these

[ebon spoke]

If there's another content update this year, I'm guessing it would be something small that didn't make it into either of the years big updates

maybe some POIs for spacewalking and the ability to get out of smaller ships?

[humble kayak]

I agree. I think it'd just be adding stuff they ran out of time for on the corvettes, if anything

There won't be another large content update

[keen topaz]

yeah , but those new pieces are really cool, it will increase the building possibilities , and now every base item that gets added can be used in corvettes withs mods wich is also really coll

[native carbon]

idk if im going crazy or i heard some kind of voice in the gas giant ambience

i got freaked out

secret lore RNG!??!1!

[gloomy isle]

I'd love for them to squeeze one in. Iirc there's just enough time before the reruns but we'll see I guess

[native carbon]

wrong channel

[analog breach]

Try to get it again and record it

[native carbon]

will do tomorrow

[keen topaz]

sword and bow update

solar sword solar bow haha

[jolly thicket]

How would I go about getting a location for a sentinel security tower (can't remember what it's called - the place where you shut them down) on the current expedition?

the last couple sentinels keep losing track of me all the time and I can't progress it that way

[rotund citrus]

you can get them from salvageable scrap! they don't come in all of them, but it shouldn't take too long with some luck.

[winter plover]

you can get a chart that leads to them from salvaged glass, dropped by sentinels sometimes. I don't remember if you can just buy the chart from the space station, but maybe

[jolly thicket]

there wasn't a purchase option, and wasn't getting any luck trying with random buys for nanites

that's the first place I checked

eventually got one off the glass, took a while.

and then finished the expedition once that was done, finally

[twilit drift]

@tulip rover

We have here folks. Someone who wants the truth of Artemis spoiled for them.

[tulip rover]

I knew Artemis was sketchy when the npc didn't know who nada was

so

[twilit drift]

So here we go. You follow Artemis signal. Only to discover they have slipped behind the fabric of reality when entering a portal. They signal you follow is but a shred of their memory.

Artemis that nada knows is long dead and gone. You capture their essence in a mind arc. You can either kill the last remaining memory of their signal. Or you can take it to nada. And nada has a mini galaxy for them to explore. You can at one point either tell Artemis the truth or play dumb and let them explore their galaxy in peace.

Complete the Artemis quest line. Upgrade your starship. Then do the atlas quest line. Do not tell Artemis the truth.

Also when you get the chance you can tell null hes a bad person for being a war criminal.

[tulip rover]

what-

[twilit drift]

Null. Is a traveller. Or an anomaly I forget. He’s doing exactly what we are doing. But instead is exploring and finding an atlas interface to reset the system….. he killed his entire galaxy. Millions upon billions of lives null murdeted into order to obtain immortality in his galaxy.

Null also had an Artemis.

[tulip rover]

oh

because that makes sense

[twilit drift]

Also the gek were once vykeen

Instead of loving for war. The first spawn of gek had the blood of the korvax (Nanites) poured into their spawning pools. So then they loved for money instead of war

That’s the basic stuff spoiled. The rest you can have fun with on your own. The sixth race you can discover on your own

[tulip rover]

what-

[twilit drift]

You heard me

[frigid valley]

Maybe a bit more coherent explanation

There was a Gek empire in the past, the First Spawn. It was a very aggressive and expansionist empire with a strong survival-of-the-fittest and zero tolerance for any weakness type of mentality

They were melting Korvax down for minerals in their bodies.

At some point, a group of Korvax sacrificed themselves by spilling their nanite-rich blood into spawning pools, changing the new generation of Gek on physiological level into what would later become the trade-obsessed little gremlins we know and love today

[spring hawk]

The Korvax basically just flipped a switch in the Gek DNA from blood-thirsty to money-hungry.

[dense quartz]

I'm constantly confused by the majority of this community having such hatred towards the current money-hungry Gek because of the previous blood-thirsty Geks.
I mean, the lore states that few Geks even care about their history and even less identify with it. And the Gek in the Artemis path tells you that they don't like to think about their past, like they're ashamed of it.

Geks literally don't like the first spawn and the community goes first spawn on their asses... just a weird reaction lol.

[icy citrus]

Humans humaning

[ebon spoke]

The fact that the game doesn't make much of a distinction between race and faction sure doesn't help

For what the game tells us, you'd think every single Gek was evil when the First Spawn was around

[cosmic anvil]

A lot of Korvax fanboys... But the lore states that the Convergence stamps out individuality and identity that's why our base scientist is on the run. Korvax did not deserve to be annihilated like that but they aren't saints either

[cosmic anvil]

Can think of several real world examples where the outside world thought the same about a regime... The game simply adapts from what we've already seen in the real world so I don't blame them

[safe quarry]

I didn't think to send any of these back with me from the expedition, but do 'orbital uplinks' work in normal or just within the expedition?

[sleek rivet]

Is datamining leaks allowed here?

[fervent fern]

Yes!

[dense quartz]

We hunger for datamines!

[heady wyvern]

We yearn for the (data) mines.

[ebon spoke]

👀

New corvette part added in the latest Steam experimental patch

[glass flare]

Apple keynote starting, maybe iOS port gets announced? (probably not)

[glass flare]

does that attach to the side? i know some people have wanted more curved sides

[ebon spoke]

Its pretty much just a shorter version of the Vesper Diffuser

same size as the Fuel Pod Cover

[river surge]

Nice more new parts coming

I live to hear what's new coming into the game gives me something to look forward to

More spoilers please

[uncut harness]

5th experimental dropped some good notes
Crazy switch ain't even get 6.0 yet

[fervent fern]

Watched it, nothing. 😕

[elder igloo]

Do we know why this is? Sorry I know this is from a while ago but I was looking through for any hits towards shuttle customization coming in the future.

[shell drum]

which one

upload artemis or not

[spring hawk]

Which one you think is the right one to do.

[shell drum]

undecided

[twilit drift]

angry autophage noises upload. Every one deserves a second chance

[pulsar mauve]

Lowkey even for what the gek did idc and i love them, even when they try to attack me they are polite! They are cute too, no reason to hate geks

Always the korvax clanker fanboys

[pulsar mauve]

Yeah i found it but i can unlock it in character editing, I literally have unlocked purple systems and all

Do i need to reach a high standing?

[twilit drift]

Did you. Or did you not. Complete the Artemis quest line and go through the whole process?

[pulsar mauve]

It says new beginnings and enjoy the galaxy

[twilit drift]

So enjoy the galaxy. You’ll know it when you get the quest.

Or maybe you won’t. It’s random.

[pulsar mauve]

Oh ok lol

[twilit drift]

Do you happen to own a sentinel ship yet?

[pulsar mauve]

Yeah but i dont think ive used it after i beat the game

I use my trusted solar

[twilit drift]

Use the sentinel.

[pulsar mauve]

Ok

[soft sonnet]

one of my favorite moments in the main quest is when you go through a portal and then it starts counting down from 16

[pulsar mauve]

Yeah that was cinema.. i made sure to record it

[viral yarrow]

Anyone have the new thermal grill decor that the experimental releases?

[soft sonnet]

I also like the one where you're just put into space by yourself for a few seconds

[pulsar mauve]

I actually might do

[soft sonnet]

we can properly spacewalk now but before this update it was cool cause you're not really supposed to just be in space like that

[soft sonnet]

its still cool ofc

[pulsar mauve]

Yep i have 2

[viral yarrow]

Lemme ssee

[pulsar mauve]

One sec

[viral yarrow]

ah nvm

the experimental update released new decor, I just wanted to see what it looks like

[pulsar mauve]

Oh okay

[mossy merlin]

Im on the mission to 16/16
How many more quests are in the artemis questline

after this one

[thick falcon]

Just went through that for the first time today, legit thought the 16 minutes were counting down and the game was gonna implode or something

[soft sonnet]

obviously it does implode when the countdown finishes the game is uninstalled and removed from your steam account

[full fractal]

Is it true if you do refuse the Atlas path that traveling to other galaxies is more difficult?

[jolly thicket]

difficult isn't the right word, just a bit more time consuming

I wish we could install that singularity drive from the one expedition to ships in other saves 😐

[full fractal]

I see

slaps Atlas button repeatedly

[sterile granite]

So im still about to finish the game, i already completed the Atlas path and im on my 3rd warp, ive read that you can choose to restart the galaxy or something and it will take you somewhere else, that means that my planet base and everything else will get deleted? Can i access all of my stuff still? Is it like a New Game + type of thing? Im so confused

[analog breach]

U wont loose stuff

[dapper lance]

||You always can come back trough teleport on space station. You wont lose anything||

[sterile granite]

Let the new galaxy be born then, thanks

[cosmic anvil]

Just a quick note, you don't need to use spoiler tags as this is the spoiler channel (tags are not necessary per channel rules)

[graceful mulch]

I found the big wobbly ball that invited me to join the atlas path
I accepted
it feels like I made a mistake, though it's probably the story progression

[heady wyvern]

You made one of multiple non-exclusive right choices.

[floral pecan]

ive done the atlas wipe and artemis quest, what to do now?

[zenith trout]

what fate is morally better for artemis? the simulation or the death?

[dry summit]

So why Atlas is some kind of "Crimson Horror" stuff

[vestal bay]

because it is modelled after HAL from 2001 a space oddesy

[analog breach]

More like a reference.

Nms has many sci fi genre references

[thick falcon]

I've always ended Artemis' suffering. It felt wrong to keep somebody in a simulation, especially such a small one.

I felt betrayed and saddened when I learned that the whole game was a simulation, and I did not wish that fate on another. Its especially torturous to keep a fellow traveller in a place thats finite, with only so much to see.

[zenith trout]

I think you spoilered me the game's end, even if I suspected that

[thick falcon]

You are in the spoiler channel

[zenith trout]

i know

[vestal bay]

Its not the end

We're still minutes away from that

[wispy coral]

So am I understanding something correctly? Does this Atlantium bring out the machine spirit in stuff? Am I becoming a techpriest?

[vestal bay]

yes

all hail the omnisiah

[humble kayak]

for the machine is immortal

[lone surge]

so what is atlas? is it like an embodiment of the simulations code?

like it stores everything that the world needs to be existing and exists in every iteration

and why exactly does it have an interface to speak with the simulations population and is easily findable

[analog breach]

A supercomputer

[lone surge]

george orwell that you

❓

how'd i get here wait

[thick falcon]

Atlas is the simulation. Its the computer that runs the simulation, and every simulation before and after.

[lone surge]

but how does that make sense, like i suppose that there's a real world outside of the NMS simulation and wouldn't the computer be outside of the simulation?

[thick falcon]

Yes, Atlas was created by a human in the real world and was used to generate simulations of different universes. It was eventually abandoned, and it soon took an avatar of it's own inside the simulation after it grew lonely.

i'd theorize that the devs of the simulation had created some type of an overseer in the simulation and gave the atlas the interface in order for the character to oversee him and do something if anything goes wrong, as in the atlas is kinda just a bug reporting tool for the overseer to use

[lone surge]

fair point, makes sense

[thick falcon]

As far as im familiar, its the Sentinels who are the bug reporting tools. They are designed to purge or contain anomalies

[lone surge]

i see them as more of a blunt emergency countermeasure that's not designed to fix anything but to completely rip out the thing that's bugged

but i'm pretty unfamiliar with the lore so i'm just spitballing here

[thick falcon]

Its a pretty big part of the lore that Atlas cannot fix itself and that leads to it panicking. The simulation is breaking down, different iterations of traveller are meeting when they shouldn't, and the walls of "reality" are collapsing. (See: Anomalous planets and Reality Glitches)

[lone surge]

but what are the travelers though? were they supposed to be just like a gek or something but because of the Atlas bugging they became a "traveler" that travels across the multiverse, survives every iteration and just spawns in at different times with amnesia?

[thick falcon]

From what I remember, Travellers are special creations made in the image of Atlas' creator. Created to enjoy the simulation, to walk its many planets and explore.

oh that's really cool, we are RP-ing as Sean i guess

thanks for dipping me into the lore a lil

[light rapids]

no, not sean, a self insert of sean
