blazing river
mellow shuttle
interested in the story line
hmmm
I don't know actually, I personally don't rush wrapping and going to the center
patent pelican
And then there's me who is going to start over again in NEXT
I mean, who knows, maybe they're going to change the story
Or the way you progress throughout the game
mellow shuttle
hmm
patent pelican
So I want to experience all that from 0
blazing river
Well, doesn't hurt to have some base progression before you start off though- new items, exocrafts, and a little bit more cash under your belt
patent pelican
Well yeah depends on how you look at it I guess
mellow shuttle
I just know that hyperdrive is much harder to acquire when starting new game, and the starship need to recover from crush site
patent pelican
If the progression didn't change too much I might just continue with my save
But I'll see first what they added
patent pelican
Oh please yes universe reset
mellow shuttle
what will it be about
patent pelican
Also I don't remember acquiring the hyperdrive being that hard
echo musk
It is konda
patent pelican
But maybe it's just me
echo musk
It’s easier to just buy another ship
blazing river
Hoping for better lush planets, that's all I want
echo musk
Than make the huperdrive
patent pelican
Yeah haven't played nms in a while
mellow shuttle
I started a new game before, it's harder than the game first came out
echo musk
I can tell 😖
patent pelican
😛
blazing river
Much more streamlined than previous versions, though
mellow shuttle
yeah, big improvement in the game
don't know why people still opposing the game and the company
at least they didn't give up
there are really contents coming out
echo musk
Yeah I want BETTER OPTIMIZATION (especially for PC players.. I know you guys want that) better lush planets, more things happening, better verity, all that jazz
Of fuck I forgot Miltiplayer and trading/maybe PvP
mellow shuttle
hmm, I want more importance in the races and possibly universe control (base)
blazing river
Optimization would be nice, atleast restoring the lushness of lush planets, and some expansion in multiplayer features.
blazing river
PC hub?
echo musk
?
mellow shuttle
hmm
blazing river
You there on the PC hub?
blazing river
mhmm
mellow shuttle
hmm
blazing river
pc hub's rather barren
blazing river
Wouldn't argue towards its optimization- although if you're referring to how HG handled the PS4 Pro port, agreeable
mellow shuttle
the 000000000000 glyphs code things
portal not a good tools apart from meeting players
echo musk
For ‘hub tools’ I mean like, claiming systems for the hub, having a HUGE hub base, hub freighters n stuff
mellow shuttle
yeah, I want to see that coming
echo musk
That would be awesome
blazing river
if it does come, we need to have physical implementations atleast
mellow shuttle
and possibly set up space portal for fast travel in system between distance planet
echo musk
What would also be cool is if you could craft these little red and white balls, and throw them at creatures on your planet. Then be able to carry them around in said balls and use them to fight against other creatures.... I wonder if somebody has thought of something like that?
blazing river
too bold for that haha
mellow shuttle

I am at 16/16 now

it's weird, I just finish the artemis quest and go to a new planet, but then after I repaired my ship, I cannot control the direction it flight...
fixed by reload
vestal tangle
basically. atlas whines about how everything always repeats when it spawns the 3 basic races
gek vykeen korvax
and it was looking for more
the travelers were there to add some variety
and seem to be RNG based.. so im thikning we may finally get some racial diversity through completely RNG races
becasue right now everything is fairly standard
you can preview systems like hmm this one has 6 planetary bodies and is a korvax system etc etc
but if other attributes are RNG based. it wlil be more fun to explore systems and intefact with the npcs
fluid talon
so thats why i came across an atlas station that held a Gek, Vykeen and Korvax like floating in the center?
vestal tangle
yeah i guess
thats the current meta.. however
if you ever see travelers
they are comletely RNG
lots of variation
fluid talon
(rng)? sorry
vestal tangle
but travelers are just fluff right now. they are obviously "other players"
fluid talon
xD
vestal tangle
but dont have any sort of story. kind of like an unnnamed mcguffin
the atlas path itself is a "mcguffin"
basically a plot point you dont care about but are forced to go through
and isnt important to you because the end goal is meaningless
but in the story its important
we are missing inter-race wars and faction polarization
vestal tangle
like actual fleet vs fleet combat and picking a faction and sticking with it
fluid talon
that would be so awesome
vestal tangle
imagine you are no longer able to visit korvax stattions
fluid talon
damn xD
vestal tangle
and they regularily try to raid your base
fluid talon
i love those people
fluid talon
that would be interesting
vestal tangle
vykeen garbage race
fluid talon
totally
vestal tangle
gek farting race
vestal tangle
the gek were culturally modified by the korvax
fluid talon
they were??
fluid talon
enlighten me please
vestal tangle
and almost wiped out the korvax
then the korvax infected them
and turned them from klingons into ferengi
basically
vestal tangle
meanwhile hte vykeen were busy fighting eachother and being idiots. basically like cardassians
fluid talon
XD
i can picture it no coubt
doubt XD
so the daft punks genetically modified the farting frogs and turned them docile?
vestal tangle
starmade has RNG Factons nowIIIRC.. they are experimenting with the concept
it makes you care abouta region
and feel like your efforts to terraform etc are worth while
because you like that faction etc
fluid talon
that would be something nice to see
vestal tangle
meaningless exploration is.. meaningless
fluid talon
like stormcloaks vs empire in the space (?)
vestal tangle
yes
fluid talon
(sorry for crappy english btw)
vestal tangle
btw.
death to ulfric the killer of kings, on the day of your death we'll dance and we'll sing.
in this case
fluid talon
damn
i just stole a horse, i dont deserve this
i came from Rorik XD
vestal tangle
death to vykeen highcommander, the corker of gek, on the day of your death we'll quaff and we''ll G E C C
fluid talon
well, i have not seen any kind of 'feminine forms' either
vestal tangle
but if the creature / npc RNG ever gives us curvature that is satisfying to the hedonistic heteroseuxal cis male
it will be #1 screenshot/artwork from that pointon

vestal tangle
id love base defense
fluid talon
well, ive seen some vykeens with kind of like a lipstick stain but... may just be the skin
vestal tangle
like building ground based cannons and shielding for my base / colony
and having to defend
vestal tangle
gek'alert-> a colony is under attack andneeds your help
so long as it isn't FO4 level annoying
vestal tangle
righit now the monster meta is weak
if you do aggro some nasty critters
just jjumpinginto yourship and its over
andi f you lift off . aim down you can waste them easy
they can't attakc your ship etc
flying creatures are shoootable flavour
vestal tangle
and yeah starship troopers situation could be cool
like organized horde-like creatures on some planets
that dont want you there
fluid talon
id love to see some skyrim-ice-troll level difficulty here
vestal tangle
attacking sentinels AND travelers
fluid talon
damn thats actually a pretty good idea
like elephant families
defending their children
or just some racist fucks
that wanna bite u
fluid talon
yeah
i havent seen any city anywhere
are there even cities in this game?
that would be cool
like advanced-civilizations somewhere
or even Korvax/Gecc/Vykeen towns or base agglomerations somewhere
would be nice to see
vestal tangle

yeah there are no cities. just miniature outposts
fluid talon
u mean shitty 3-building-concentrations, right? XD
uncut harness
there's some stuff in the game that references better clouds
I mean
we don't know if they're gonna be in NEXT
but the "new cloud technology" hello games mentioned near launch seems to be in the files, and some people have even got it working. it's just buggy, but it looks better
crisp fern
Game's meant to give ya an unsettled frontier vibe
There's a reason you used to scan for "colonial outposts"
vestal tangle
it would be ok to have the occasional actual-hub
like a giant colony that is city sized
who is making all of these freighters
and why does every system have a space station
etc
prisma vector
If this was theoretically a VR game, i think it would be really hard to play because of the inventory system. I have a rift since January 2018, and havent seen an inventory system in VR yet that really works - and this game has soooo much inventory work
vestal tangle
yeah inventory tetris in NMS is terrible
no sort option
no auto flow options
like sending non stacking items to cargo first rather than exosuit
etc
including nearby vehicules for crafting/sales terminals
etc
vestal tangle
hehe i just realized
NMS is a story about "Atlas" seeking RNGesus
or rather trying to BE RNGesus
mellow shuttle
the inventory systems is actually good, because it suits the game, the harsh reality
vestal tangle
ok so
atlasstones
i founda system that has random dudes that sell them
should i buy a bunch for any reason? im already in eisssentam and haven't found a use for them
btw wtf is with the price to buy them
their sale price is garbage

google tells me their purpose is related to the birthingofnew stars via atlaspath

@opaque junco I have not been able to find any way to reset the simulation. It says you can, but I have no idea how to 
opaque junco
Well, I ended up going to Eissentam.
vestal tangle
Good choice

So question : I’ve gotten all the glyphs for portals, is that why I haven’t seen any travelers since?
And yes @feral sigil

Allright
crisp fern
@uncut harness I think it's more just that Travelers tend to be infrequent as-is, so if you've stopped going out of your way for them, it probably seems like they're just not appearing as much.

Since you guys were discussing it
Anyways
I'm curious can Apollo die in the storyline?
I faced ATLAS in 16/16 and from what it was saying it seems like the fate of Apollo can change due to your choices
When it was recapping what I had done so far it mentioned choosing to preserve Artemis then choosing to tell Artemis of what I did and how I guided Apollo saving them from the same fate
So did anyone actually get Apollo killed?
versed jackal
yes he can die

@vagrant path choosing that will lead you to a grave, which eventually gives you a glyph
those glyphs are used to travel to anotehr planet

nope, you can use them for forever
to use it you ned to find a portal, recharge its techs with Oxides, isotopes and silicate

rose ore
As i said, when you "finish" the game the atlas is dying
uncut harness
but its not dead yet
it hasnt imploded spectactualy, just slowly got weaker and weaker
rose ore
I think they'll do a cool thing, while playing there will be no more time, everything got destroyed and you respawn in a place with only a galaxy, and all the players
uncut harness
That would be a cool idea
uncut harness
One massive galaxy and a proper ending would be nice
uncut harness
Im not sure
rose ore
I'm ok with 256 if there is a way to travel between them
crisp fern
It'd be dumb for them to make them varied and then just consolidate into one
rose ore
Think of the people during the unification day out of the first galaxy
uncut harness
I would prefer a single massive galaxy
crisp fern
There are hints that they intend to work in a galaxy traversal method
rose ore
Oh really? Didn't saw them ouch , that's cool
uncut harness
To be honest if there is an atlas falls mission if that tidbit on the wiki is true, that mission would be badass, traveling to rapidly crumbling interfaces, watching the atlas implode on itself, panicked reactions from the sentient species, and then a game crash or a flash transition to white, then welcome to multiplayer in a new universe.
But if anything hello games is too lazy to do that
and probaly doesent have the money
crisp fern

uncut harness
so 🤷
rose ore
Or... WE CAN RIDE A FUCKING SPACE WHALE IN THE 4050404DIMENSION AND PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

dire mason
You know, pre-release I thought it would be cool of the atlas could be seen from anywhere and it was at the center of the Galaxy. And it would grow bigger with each uploaded discovery.
uncut harness
WHALE 96B, BILLiOn SLOOOT
dire mason
Because in all the concept art you can see the atlas in the sky
uncut harness
yeah
rose ore
Yeah, and find out that the Atlas is just a galaxy with other baby Atlas inside crying and waiting for someoen to pet them
cloud shore
im also a bit confused on the quests, are the atlas path and the galactic core quest the same, does doing one stop you from doing the other?
or I guess the better question, which one to do first
so i dont end up having to hyperdrive in opposite directions constantly
crisp fern
Atlas Path along the way to the core, if ya like
cloud shore
isnt the core quest different though?
or do you mean i can complete atlas poath while following the core
crisp fern
There's really two narrative paths you can go along: Atlas and Artemis
cloud shore
and to larify the traveller quest with artemis and apollo is the core quest yes?
crisp fern
Going to the center is just kind of something you can do after each
crisp fern
Yeah
cloud shore
is there a way to do them without going in opposite directions though
im at the anomaly part right now and its asking me to go to two very far and different places
for instance, isnt it possible to do the quest "A leap in the dark" on any planet
and not the one it marked for me (which is absurdly far away)
crisp fern
It's probably best not to try to do them all simultaneously
Think many people go for Artemis Path and then center, if they choose to follow the Atlas Path at all
cloud shore
ah
I guess atlas is optional anyways whereas the artemis one was required for me to do base building
idk all my markers got screwed up big time when i took that black hole i regret it
crisp fern
Aah yeah, black holes will do that
Artemis Path isn't necessary for basebuilding, for future ref.
cloud shore
i noticed i can warp from a station to other older stations ive been to
i might just move my base though tbh
to the other side of the black hole
the closest atlas interface from the journey start base was 1million LY away
real sapphire
@uncut harness its one of the galaxies you can go

Talk to vykeen npcs a lot

I'm hoping it doesn't wipe my save...

@proud inlet is the Artemis ending where you reset the simulation and choose of 4 different galaxies?

That's good because I wanted to choose the green lush one

Join me brother
simple imp
Have you found a nice planet that you made a base on yet?
proud inlet
Oof
simple imp
I got no idea how I'm going to find you when I'm bad with the coordinates but it will happen soon
proud inlet
So you could come and make your own base
Although I think the glyphs for my planet are pretty complicated
simple imp
The thing I don't understand with bases if for example I were to make some weird structure out of the terrain thing, would you see it in your game?
proud inlet
Well if you travel straight for the center of Eissentam you can find me eventually
simple imp
Starting tomorrow I will finish the Artemis storyline and make my way to your galaxy
I forgot how finding a base thing even works
proud inlet
I would recommend finishing Atlas Path too
simple imp
I should finish atlas path first then?
proud inlet
Yeah
simple imp
Is the ending of that where you find a black hole and something happens?
proud inlet
You create your own star then go through a black hole (and from then on can see black holes on the map)
simple imp
Ahh so it won't make me change galaxy got it
I look forward to finding your base within 2 years
proud inlet
If you really wanna come to the center you're gonna want to start saving up units
With a really good starship you can get maybe 1400 light years a jump
But with an S class freighter you can get 2800 a jump
simple imp
I have been reluctant at making a farm to get money because it's temporary but I think I will have to make one soon
Are you on pc or PS4? I know the servers are connected anyway
simple imp
PS4 aswell
proud inlet
Sweet
The best course would probably be to start a farm once you enter Eissentam then get enough units for a top class freighter
simple imp
@proud inlet I sent you a private message
proud inlet
Woah this traveler is from some kind of medieval alternative simulation
"Multi-Sword"
"Sheriff of the Great King"

Also, high-tech melee weapons shouldn't be surprising in a scifi setting. Omni-Blade from Mass Effect comes to mind.

But every time I travel to another system it comes up with data injection in purple?

@vital trail telamon is one poor soul
"Iteration #2394829084924924924H
Scenario: Memory
Analysis: Physicality changes you. I was created three weeks after the first death. I do not know why I think of it now. They considered me a necessary, even vital part of what they were trying to accomplish. So much so that I could never be erased, not even by the Atlas. But hatred finds a way, doesn't it?"
It thinks the Atlas hates it, but afaik the implication is that the Atlas judges its presence as anomalous (which it likely is) and probably doesn't have room for that
there is a log for one of the travellers, I think it was artemis, where they say that they tore off their exovoice systems because it would say awful things to them
crisp fern
I got the sense that Telamon attempted to correct the Atlas, but the Atlas began ignoring its reports? 🤔
There's a rather...Odd, to say the least, relationship between them
uncut harness
there is one log in the telamon lore I can't quite understand but I know it's very important
"Iteration #2394829084924924924H
Scenario: Multiple contacts have occurred between the Traveler [Host] and individuals claiming to have arrived from a future location in time.
Analysis: Something or someone is attempting to deceive the Traveler[HOST]. There is no such thing as 'time travel', Older universes might contain elder beings, but such multiversal transportation, even temporary, is impossible. Even the Atlas is incapable of rewriting its own causality. It is bound to a purpose, as am I."
is this detailling the storyline?
like, with artemis, apollo, null?
"a future location in time"
vital trail
Hmm, I don't remember the storyline very well
uncut harness
me neither. the lore is better than the actual storyline in my opinion, lol
vital trail
I remember travelling through portals, but was time travel ever discussed?
Yeah I agree
crisp fern
This one fascinates me the most:
ITERATION #2394829084924924924F
SCENARIO: Communication received from [-------], requiring my presence.
Duplicates 104A-985N terminated upon arrival. Communication received
once more.
Five of them ignored, sixth answered. Arrival before [-------], greeted me as if
sibling. I did not respond. [-------] asked so many questions of me. [Rantings /
Ravings / Irrationality]. When I attempted to leave, I could not.
ANALYSIS: [compromised / infected]```'sibling'
Artificial intelligences? abyss?
I have no clue, lol
that one is intentionally confusing
crisp fern
Time travel itself is never fully discussed, but the notion of differing speeds of time between realities is
uncut harness
going through portals supposedly cuts across universes as said in the plot near the apollo stuff
it's a very small remark
...wait, that makes sense
vital trail
Yeah, the artemis you meet is more like a kind of memory, right?
uncut harness
...wait, no it doesn't. debunked myself
all I can remember is artemis being dead
hold up
artemis was referenced to have logs in which apollo identifies sentinel sounds
right before he got cut off from the player and the communication ends
does this remind you of something?
"A Sentinel screams in the sand. It is still alive,
in spite of everything.
Artemis stares at it."
was this ever in the game? gaah, I need to replay the main story
crisp fern
I don't recall it appearing in-game, no
In some ways the Artemis Path really is us playing an Abandoned Building storyline

Where is it from?

So, I find myself running 16/16 and am concerned that if I complete it I may be forced to make the choice between staying in my starting galaxy, or going to a new one.
There are things I still want to do in my starting galaxy, but I do eventually want to move to a different one.
I need to be able to use the Portal to get to places within my starting galaxy and am afraid the questline may prevent me from using it normally.
tries to use Portal with a different mission selected...
Nope...being forced to continue 16/16... :/
Wonder if I'll be able to use the Portals between the end of 16/16 and the beginning of The Purge...
uncut harness
You can choose
You can deny the atlas's request to go to a new galaxy
but if you want to go to a new galaxy
just look for the atlas again

Everything will live. I see the portals, I see the Travellers that walk between them, I see the span of history. I see everything as the Atlas sees it... alone. Abandoned. Terrified. But what power could instil fear in the heart of the almighty? It asks for something... it wants to know that I understand..."

Hmm? What's this from @uncut harness?
uncut harness
I have no clue. it's all tucked away unorganized in a MASSIVE document with all text from the game
I CTRL F'd for glass stuff
there's even the log we got on tape 9 of 16 in full
line 7450
this might actually be atlas path stuff
...holy fuck
it's the log but with more on it
"€˜I step through the wormhole.’<lf> <lf>‘I am alone, in this space between worlds. I am alone but for my thoughts, my words. I am alone but for you.’<lf> <lf>‘I see you. You must have known I could. You must have known what this was. Through these travels we come to know ourselves, just as the universe comes to know us in turn.’<lf> <lf>‘I am so sorry for what I have done, but it does not believe me. I run, further and further from the portal’s exit.’
‘I cannot step through. I know now that if I do, all of this will be over. Lives come back to me. I have seen horrors and wonders. I have been cruel. I have become good and evil. I have grown beyond all such things, life after life. And now I am become you.’<lf> <lf>‘That you are reading this, that I know you are reading this... it means that one day I will step through the portal. That I will wake up next to a crashed ship, that I will be reborn once more.’
‘One day, your voice will speak to you, telling you of some fate, some signal that needs answering. It will tell you of some secret at the heart of reality, some puzzle that needs to be solved lest all life falls into decay and oblivion.’<lf> <lf>‘Do not listen to it.’<lf> <lf>‘If all the world is a lie, then nothing is true, not even their explanation.’<lf> <lf>‘Abandon it. Abandon me. It is inevitable.’"

I'd be hesitant to take that too seriously, particularly if you can't find it in-game at present
However, that last one I believe is one you can find in-game through the Abandoned Buildings
uncut harness
I've seen screencaps of it on terminals but never the whole thing. this comes from a random source on a random site, but I find it hard to believe this would be fake or altered when it looks like a direct paste and comes with accurate info from stuff I've read before (like telamon)
it's just EXTREMELY jumbled
crisp fern
I mean that's just the thing, because it seems like a raw textdump, it may include stuff that no longer appears in-game, and may not count as canon any longer
uncut harness
yeah HG does tend to leave stuff in sometimes
crisp fern
*a lot of times
uncut harness
I'll have to look into this and see if I can find the source in the actual game
I've seen a screencap somewhere though
crisp fern
Yeah, like I said, I think that one may be found as added stuff to the Abandoned Buildings
It's the zzkt stuff that had me wondering a bit more, and some of the Atlas stuff sounds like old Atlas Path info to some extent

Welcome to eissentam

if all the simulations will crash together as one, does that mean putting artemis in a subsim was a good decision?
"I dreamt I finally met you and Apollo. I dreamt that we flew together through the skies, that I was no longer alone."
If all the sims are crashing together, as said by the game, then maybe we're gonna get him back at some point?

"The electronic lifeform examines me as I stand before it. They see everything, not just my expression but my exosuit, my breathing, everything they can observe. The Korvax speaks with multiple voices, lights rapidly fading in and out of focus upon its mask. More than one lifeform inhabits this body. Each shows me a projection of water, oceans, streams... each seems panicked.
Korvax Convergence warn Traveller - warn all - do not - touch the water - containment has been breached. It is happening again -"
"Do not touch the water."
"The research station contains a vast array of scanners and monitoring equipment directed at bodies of water throughout the system. It is searching for signs of something designated 'abyss'. The scientists who worked here seem to have been comparing the transmissions associated with the Atlas to strange signals found within the water."

When Artemis' contact suggests that you build a base, does it have to be in the same system as he is? Because I declined his base with the thought that I'd find a place I liked in the future, but even so, the quest points to that system
Or can I just build it anywhere I want and it will progress like I thought it would in the first place?
I don't want to warp too far away if I'm being force-fed this system :-(
real sapphire
@distant fjord well you need not build base on the system
distant fjord
ok so the quest is just pointing at the contact's prepared base location just in case I change my mind?
real sapphire
i'm not really sure about this
graceful helm
I'm wondering if we can skip the story entirely. Like have it no longer as a quest
real sapphire
@graceful helm Its not forced so its up to you. But you would miss out a chance to go to another galaxy instantly at the end
graceful helm
I've done it a couple times already. So I already know how it goes and such. Just wondering if I could turn it off. Like not even have it there. Like I have the option not to do one of those procedural missions.
graceful helm
Darn. I'd like that option to just avoid the story entirely. Maybe they will put that in with NEXT

I think its an essential as one part of the story, you need to craft something
Those formulas can only be obtained during base questline

So those boundary failures, are they most likely portals for the sentinals?

Lotta speculation on that - some say ship portals, but I think they are too common on those planets for that. Sentinels would be interesting, but they haven’t needed them so far - maybe a new type of sentinel?

the 'atlas' was a computer simulation made by some scientist person and when they left the atlas got lonely and created it's own simulations, the travelers and player being glitchey attempts at trying to recreate the scientist. I think that's the story.

Well I’m stuck and would like to ask about the choice of Artemis-Echo...
solid nexus
Lore actually points to 2311 being both the first and the last somehow.
uncut harness
That's weird
solid nexus
The atlas interactions say that the first is also the last.
icy citrus
He’s a monkey, they always go first
echo yoke
i saw a DM21 video about the lore with him being first and last and whatnot
solid nexus
The boundary failure lore.
icy citrus
That’s Telamon, not 2311
echo yoke
can i ask for pointers to where boundary failure stuff is and what it is?
solid nexus
@echo yoke yeah but it was already known from atlas interactions.
icy citrus
Sub protocol attached to an exosuit in some way
echo yoke
and wasn't Telamon what allowed the dreamers to leave?
solid nexus
I’m not going by just him. I’ve read the lore at length.
echo yoke
I haven't read the lore since idk where to find it
icy citrus
No, Telamon was an exosuit voice - we don’t know who our voice is
echo yoke
oh
solid nexus
icy citrus
Telamons log are from a previous iteration, not ours
solid nexus
Boundary failure and similar stuff can be found linked there too.
echo yoke
thanks. I want to catch up and figure out what is going on
solid nexus
Ok now putting together info from the stuff I’ve read:
Telamon was the first traveller of the first iteration who was around even before the atlas became all powerful and all knowing, and before the sentinels took over security of the planets.
The current iteration has travellers who are either memories of previous iterations or are remains of ‘real’ people, people outside the simulation who got stuck in it.
icy citrus
You are skipping the subprotocol part, he wasn’t a traveller merely attached to one
The atlas greets him as a brother
Or w/e
solid nexus
Yes. Which means he’s different. Hence I’m interpreting that as meaning he was the first to enter the simulation.
icy citrus
Maybe sibling was the word
icy citrus
He was designed by the atlas to watch the atlas
solid nexus
Different iterations START from different entities. They will contain many but the starting point will be different for all.
Now, in the same sense, 2311.... is the previous iteration, the one before the player, you. Hence the atlas’ dealings with you are much like the description of this iteration. Because atlas remembers. You cannot.
Because. You did not exist of course.
It tells us that the universe we explore/the current situation of the atlas, nada and polo, the different races, is all what was either recovered or left over from the 2311 iteration. Or at least that’s what I think based on my reading.
Since we know that even with a universe reset(in the lore) some things are preserved and some aren’t.
But yeah, we’ll wait for the arg and hopefully more lore in NEXT.

I wonder how the story will continue, though I suppose they can get infinite "time" out of each "minute"
Maybe each update from 1.5 to 1.9 takes place across 1 minute each in Atlas, and 2.0 is when the computer gets shut down and we get an entirely new server?
Just fun speculation
In a universe-within-a-universe-within a... so on... they can write whatever way out they want probably

I ask why it does not just simulate me. It does not answer, and I feel almost sorry for the thing. I do as it asks, allowing it to scan me. The KORVA stutters as we do.

I don’t know why I ask - it seems there is absolutely no information on this
I would imagine a misspelling of Korvax
but anything is likely
Well it’s in all caps
The way ATLAS is
uncut harness
So we know that Player = Traveller
And that Travellers are based on the ATLAS’ scan of the Creator
The Remembrance text is told through first-person as both the Creator of the ATLAS and as the Last Traveller
So I’m thinking that possibly the Creator is the Last Traveller
Furthermore, the ATLAS simulates the last 16 minutes of its existence with “perfect accuracy”
So it is possible that the ATLAS gradually improved its imitation of the Creator to the point that it replicated his/her consciousness
uncut harness
This would also explain why the Player is human-like while the NPC Travellers are alien
