heh I try to be nice lol

royal kiln
hopefully we get there
I tried the galactic hub community but all I got was dissuasion from building in their systems and suggestions that I not build a base until I have explored more.
I think I have explored enough...
minor hatch
hopefully a new update will fix portals
haughty bough
Any need to have your specialists out if you're done their questlines?
nocturne adder
i keep them around to make my base feel more alive
haughty bough
that's what I was thinking
icy citrus
The farmer and overseer offer a daily mission, and the scientist gives nanites for scans
versed jackal
they all got some kind of daily thing, though generally only farmer, overseer and scientist are worth having
farmer and overseer got a mission that gives a procedurally generated item(like the ones in historical sites), can get a decent amount of money from that
scientist gives nanites
armorer gives you the option of a random broken multi-tool
and the exocraft mechanic gives a short mission to go to a certain location for a tiny amount of money
icy citrus
The armorer is a mobile cabinet if you want him to be, he uses multitool pools for his offering
versed jackal
I wonder if it would be worth just moving it around 100+ times to find an S class max slot tool
icy citrus
Hmmm, you can just slap a terminal down on a floor piece
End up with a lot of bases on your list though lol
versed jackal
yeah, and even a tiny amount of movement can change the roll
icy citrus
Yep
versed jackal
can just move it at the same base
until you find a high roll
then check if that system has any experimental/aliens in the high roll pool
by saving and loading at various planets before returning each time
icy citrus
Might be easier to find an alien or exp - then shuffle him about
versed jackal
only if you get lucky with finding a high roll tool from a cabinet, since you are only interested in the top 25% of rolls, if the experimental/alien is not among those its not useful
icy citrus
Interesting, I may have to use him in Eissentam to get some tool coords for others
Right now, you can totally abuse the anomaly for tools
olive dirge
what option do i pick with the end of atlas quest? i'm kinda confused and can't really google anything about it
icy citrus
What’s the confusion about?
olive dirge
is this the question that i leave the galaxy and cannot return?
icy citrus
No, that is the Artemis path that gives you that choice
olive dirge
ive send you a pm @icy citrus
tough jackal
when you complete either the atlas storyline, or the artemis storyline, you get the option to reset the galaxy and "birth a new star"
i chose to opt out for the time being; but now I want to head over to the 19th galaxy, so how would I get that option to birth a new star again?
versed jackal
birth a new star has nothing to do with resetting the galaxy, those 2 things are completely separate
birth a new star merely gives you black hole markers
Resetting at the end of the artemis questline is a 1 time thing and can be used as a shortcut, if you say no and leave then you lose that chance. to switch galaxy outside that 1 time thing you need to warp to the center of the galaxy
icy citrus
He’s got it, he had found a snippet from before atlas rises, when we still collected atlas stones
karmic elk
so how does one join this community event? I read something about being contacted by Polo but he has not contacted me
placid barn
u in space.
u will receive info, message from known contact
read it
it will show up as portal on one planet
go there
no activation of portal needed
u just input -> enter
;
u at event planet
enjoy
karmic elk
okay not sure how I can rephrase that
Nobody contacted me.
I was in space
I did not receive info
plucky marsh
you cant join it if you never met polo before.
so you need to do the first main quest a bit
fast iron
what.
last moon
I guess I am the only one who can't figure out how to do the community event? I went to the other planet through the portal.....I have 2 objectives in the mission screen "make contact with the space anomaly" and "visit the marked planet" both are complete. What do I do next?
Mission pop-up help at bottom right of screen has countdown timer and it says visit the marked planet.
icy citrus
Use your visor to locate buried technology and dig those up for hex cores
last moon
@icy citrus thank you for the reply! I figured out I have a save bug. Yippie!
icy citrus

wheat crystal
I'm at the "birth a new star" choice
if i birth one, do I have to switch to a new galaxy?
icy citrus
No, the atlas path doesn’t switch galaxies - it will lead you to a black hole so you can see the system “birthed”
wheat crystal
ah, a recipe for a star seed
um, the star seed recipe isn't showing.
or is this a refiner recipe?
icy citrus
Technology
wheat crystal
lets you see black holes right?
ok, so the atlas path quest just tells me to explore the universe. not sure how to progress it.
icy citrus
That’s it
wheat crystal
was i supposed to get a recipe for a remembrance?
wheat crystal
ah.
earnest wharf
my atlas path glitched, i never got a chance to insert my death star orb because i had to warp around to make one
and when i went back to the atlas station i got the option to birth a star
icy citrus
That’s what the heart of the sun is for, to birth a new star
vernal light
if starseed, it is a tech that shows blackhole locations
dreamy quartz
Ah man I got the recipe for the cryo-stasis or whatever it's called (the thing worth about 15 million units)
now I just gotta find the recipes for the things you need to make it lol
I already have the recipe for one of the things needed to make one of the things needed to make.... lol
uncut harness
So that's what the Star seed is for. I never knew why I had it
fringe folio
Question, im trying to finish the atlas path, i got the heart of the sun, but it doesnt let me get the dialogue
i activated all seeds, except the last 1 before the heart of the sun
which doesnt let me activate, i crafted all the orbs
i tried restarting from earlier saves/ restarting game etc
west cypress
did you get the choice of Birthing a new star etc? and unlock Black Hole access? if so then you are done. The last thing you get, Star Seed, is a craftable upgrade, not consumable. Which is confusing at first. The quest keeps coming up for me asking to go to the next station, but it just seems to keep repeating the final step and does nothing more. Unless mine is bugged too haha. But from what I have seen that is that. I havn't finished the Artemis line yet so I'm not sure if it somehow ties in/relates
delicate flame
Not really sure where I can post this, but I am choosing spoilers since this can hopefully get you to the middle. DM me if you need help on PC.

icy citrus
What’s up Shaun?
low hamlet
Can anybody help with the final part of the Purge ? The part about "crying out" ?
icy citrus
Yeah, what’s the question?
low hamlet
I can cry out one more time and make my final choice or leave ....what to do ?
icy citrus
To complete the path you need to cry out, which will lead to a decision to make
I can be more specific, but the choice has to be made to complete the quest
low hamlet
to know the choice would be a spoiler then?
icy citrus
Yep, but they make it fairly obvious about what will happen. If you have questions about that part I’m happy to answer
low hamlet
I'll just go ahead and cry out ...see what happens. Hope for the best.
icy citrus
I made a save beforehand, just so I could pick both lol
bleak talon
It's inferred that you play as the last traveller, right?
bleak talon
You get a choice of moving on to a different galaxy
icy citrus
And a choice of type
bleak talon
though typically it's recommended to stay in Eulcid since that's where all the hubs are
icy citrus
Aye, if you want to live around others stay in Euclid
bleak talon
My first run I changed galaxies and kinda regretted it
gonna stick to Eulcid this run and see if I can get to any hubs, still gotta unlock all the portal glyphs
icy citrus
I switched, but don’t have any interesting joining a community - just exploration and general messing about
I’ll eventually make my way to the tranquil galaxy after Eissentam, it’s like 8 past though so will be a haul
bleak talon
Tranquil is kinda boring, just warning you
icy citrus
Oh I’ve been to all types
bleak talon
oh
lunar cove
Its a good thing I refused the Atlas >:)
icy citrus
And I’ll stick around in each galaxy, it won’t be a straight shot
icy citrus
Right on
You can force it to be 20/6, just keep buying it when it comes in that first wave
icy citrus
12 is max price for a 20/6 , and you trade it in each time for a hefty discount
Like you buy a 17/5, and the next will,be 18 or 19 - trade that in and the next will be 19 or 20, and so forth
icy citrus
I mean , it is first wave so just reloading will get you a 20/6 pretty quickly as well
wheat crystal
ok, I'm at 'reset simulation' question
is this where I go to a new galaxy?
if I refuse I stay in euclid?
icy citrus
Exactly
wheat crystal
if i refuse do i still get the remembrance?
icy citrus
Yep
wheat crystal
thanks.
low hamlet
Hi Singular OK took your advice and set up a save, then braved it. First time stood up to Atlas and ended up who knows where. OK now second try... Red, Blue, Green, or ...Aqua ? I read on the wiki about system colors but there was no Aqua color. Is that supposed to represent a yellow system... or a random? And do I lose anything after making a choice (ie base, freighter, frigates, exocrafts, etc)?
livid yarrow
You will only lose bases
icy citrus
Bases yeah. -should be some mats in the base container though
livid yarrow
If you change to something other than euclid
If you stay in Euclid it should keep the base yeah?
icy citrus
Yeah
low hamlet
Is Euclid the kinda aqua colored one?
icy citrus
Lush Galaxy (green)[Tranquil], Vicious Galaxy (red) [Burning], Abandoned Galaxy (blue)[Exhausted] and Balanced Galaxy (grey)[Improved].
Euclid is where you stay if you refuse
Euclid is an imperfect
Or balanced in this case
livid yarrow
It's perfect how it is
icy citrus
Vicious will have a lot more extreme planets
Abandoned - a lot more dead and barren
Tranquil more lush in yellow systems, and a chance of exotics in yellows as well
livid yarrow
So the extreme survival thing, if I'm out of my ship it's counting the time of sols right
low hamlet
Id hate to lose my base. I put a lot of time into it. Plus 9 storage containers full of goodies
icy citrus
The vaults are protected
You can destroy and rebuild whenever and wherever - contents are safe
low hamlet
thats good to know !
So do you go back to your base and destroy everything first before creating the new system?
icy citrus
I took down the glass stuff - didn’t bother with the wood or metal though or the vaults
low hamlet
So how's that work with the vaults? Leave the contents in the old one and the contents will transfer when you build a new vault at your new base?>
icy citrus
They are all linked - just in different locations. The vaults on your freighter have the same contents as any at your bases
So if you have 4 bases - you still only really have 10 vaults - no matter how many you have actually built
low hamlet
Ahhh OK ...I get it. So there no real reason to go back to my base and deconstruct things then is there? Cuz actually, I dont see an exit from this Atlas to allow me to go back and do that. Just me and the colored spheres. No spacecraft.
icy citrus
I wasn’t worried about it - but I guess it would depend on how much stuff you had - or how easy you find it to gather more mats
I just knock off a quick base - nothing fancy
versed jackal
Picking an orb moves you instantly to a new galaxy(not the same as a system), sadly if you leave the atlas station without picking you can't return and pick again, its a 1 time shortcut
the different colors refers to the different galaxy types or generation settings for the entire galaxy
and is not the same as the system colors you see on the map
west cypress
So then if you refuse and stay in Euclid, can you then just make your way to the center and go galaxy by galaxy on your own? And if so, does each journey through the center to the next galaxy destroy your base?
And lastly if your base is on your freighter, like a farm etc.. does that remain intact?
worn creek
Does the atlas path questline force you to go to another galaxy at some point or no?
nocturne adder
no, you can turn it down
icy citrus
The atlas path does not offer a switch of galaxies at the end, it has you birth a star - and then guides you to a black hole to go to it
livid yarrow
So I saw that I should be able to buy mts from the weapon specialist, I have him on my freighter and no such thing happens, the korvax will give nanite for flora data, so idk
west cypress
? Nah you cant buy from him. They just hang there to signify he is a weapons specialist haha. Thats it.
west cypress
They all are really haha. Once those quests are done and everything is unlocked dont even need them afaik. Unless you wanna do daily missions for small rewards for something to do. Theres enough to do anyway with the station bounties to have you going back to your base to hand in a mission all the time.
livid yarrow
The korvax gives nanite at least
worn creek
So for the atlas thing in about to get to the heart of the sun, when it wants me to birth a new Star that's when I refuse or I'll get sent to another galaxy yes?
icy citrus
No
The atlas path does not have you switch anymore - that is the Artemis path. The Atlas path will have you birth a star and then lead you to that system to check it out
west cypress
Yeah. I always choose birth a new star. May as well. It then seems to become an endless quest. Unless the finising of it ties in with the end of Artemis
versed jackal
it doesnt, completely separate, outside a small reference to the atlas path near the end of the artemis quest
delicate flame
I never heard that Atlas leads you to the new system, that's interesting
versed jackal
its just a normal black hole really, but you can kinda think of it like teleporting to the "new" system
tribal echo
so choosing to move to a new galaxy is basically just challenging yourself to start over? do you lose everything ?
wake up crashed again, shitty c class fighter & 5 slot miner?
trail pumice
sounds like a terrible idea, like prestiging in cod 😁
tribal echo
yeah but if there's no compelling benefit
icy citrus
You only lose any bases left behind, and some of those mats will be in your basestorage container. You will have to repair things, and there are different types of galaxies
The only reason for me, is because I want to
tribal echo
what's the benefit
icy citrus
Same as staying in Euclid
Nothing
It’s all in what you want to do
I like to rp as a wandering traveller trying to see the universe
nocturne adder
can you bring your freighter with you from galaxy to galaxy?
icy citrus
Yes
You don’t lose anything at all - besides base mats if you leave them up.
Vaults are protected - so no worries there
nocturne adder
oh cool, so just max out your base in your freighter and go explore the universe
icy citrus
Yep, that’s how some do it. I establish a base in my new galaxy within a few systems of start - then meander towards the center
winter radish
So they stopped releasing Experimental patch notes ?

After the ‘first’ experimental they ususally dont update the notes for patches for experimental

Help please. How to get specialist terminals at base now?
west cypress
If you've progressed to the point of having their blueprints, then just craft them. They are in the build menu under Equipment-> Specialist Terminals
Otherwise you need to build the Construction Terminal first then hire and Overseer and begin the quest
last moon
Okay so buy blueprints from the blueprint analyser until I see the blueprint for the terminals?
west cypress
Nah. Build the Contruction Terminal first. You will then get a quest to go hire an Overseer. Just progress from there. All comes in steps after that
Have you placed your first Base Computer yet and done that part? Need to do all that beginning base stuff first
last moon
I just placed the computer and started getting blueprints from the analyser and building base stuff assuming I would get the blueprint from there
I'm not sure how I get the construction terminal blueprint.
icy citrus
Build a cylindrical room and door
That will give a terminal and start a quest chain to hire NPCs
last moon
Okay? I never thought that would be the answer. Thanks!
livid yarrow
After the first couple terminals you can rebuild them at separate bases and transfer them, only minor issues on my experiences with that
white shale
what did they add to the story in next?
west cypress
from what i've seen and read, make sure you dont move your terminals until after you've finished their quest lines. has apparently caused a lot of grief and bugs for people that have done it
livid yarrow
Eh... I have moved mine a lot technically
Put them on my freighter
Only minor issues so far but they resolve easily
worldly epoch
I recently unlocked enough korvax language
thought it was neat to finally see what he said
low hamlet
Anyone know, in the final Atlas interface, if you have all the seeds do you get one ending and another ending if you dont (4 spheres) ? The Atlas seed quest has gone away now that I'm at the final Atlas interface facing the spheres.
versed jackal
Those 2 are completely separate(outside potential bugs). The 4 spheres is the ending to the artemist questline while the one with the seeds is for the atlas path
finishing the atlas path has no impact on the atlas station at the end of the artemist quest
low hamlet
Im about to choose a sphere. Choosing will not affect the atlas seeds storyline?
versed jackal
it shouldn't, can continue it on the other side
low hamlet
Ok great ! Thank you ! ... any suggestions on which sphere to choose ?
versed jackal
Red = more extreme planets
Green = more lush planets, less dead
blue = more dead planets, less lush
Light blue/whiteish = similar to default, not much point in picking this, might as well stay then.
low hamlet
Sorry had to stop and buy an Exotic starship that landed on my Freighter (my first !!) Im gonna have to think about this choice tho. Read up on the Wiki. Thanks for the help @versed jackal !!
Which did you choose and how did it work out ?
versed jackal
Atm im staying, my old save before I knew which one did what I picked blue. If I pick again I would probably pick green
turbid verge
The Purge quest can be re-done in each Galaxy, basically you can still get to "Green"
icy citrus
The purge can’t be repeated once you have done it
west cypress
So to clarify, if you purge and take the shortcut to one of those new galaxies, can you ever join friends still playing in euclid if they invite you?
placid barn
ye
west cypress
Ok sweet. So really its fine to do then, since you can always go back and play with others in euclid if invited
placid barn
ye
west cypress
...i feel like you're lying 🤔
valid mulch
I've heard reports of people joining a friends game in starter after they moved on, but having not done it myself, I can't say to experience there.
icy citrus
You can join them no problem - I recommend not trying to glitch yourself into staying - and don’t bother building a base unless you are going to visit that same base with your friends invite. Trying to build a base and teleport back to Euclid from your base in another galaxy can not only kill you, but glitch your save.
west cypress
Hahaha ok cheers
dreamy quartz
Is there actually any difference between normal mode and survival mode after you leave your starting planet? Like is planet generation impacted or do the effects only apply to the player, like how much HP they have, how much things cost, etc.
royal kiln
does the purge quest make you lose all your money, nanites and quicksilver?
west cypress
Ah...help. in the Artemis quest im at the part "16/16" to activate a portal to go see the Atlas. But when i step through...im then ejected into a free fall in space? Lucky ive made a manual save before stepping in. Havnt waited to see what happens as I instantly hit pause and reloaded save...but I would assume this is not normal haha
To be clear I have stepped through. Twice, since i reloaded save. And then i just freefall in space..
Nvm
😃

fringe folio
Whats the point of maxing out standings with a race? does it give any benefits
icy citrus
It allows access to their better rewarding missions - like the guilds do. They will also help you fight pirates
royal kiln
okay so I did the quest that took me through a portal to the sentinel world, I got dragged into an atlas room where it was up in my grill. I chose wipe and said Y and it threw me back to 711000 LY from the center and took my A38 fighter and gave me a crappy, broken C28 ship. I repaired it, left the planet and went to the Station. I checked the teleporter. I am still in Euclid and all my bases are still listed in the teleport gate. What gives?
Ive seen youtube videos showing people picking from different galaxies for reset? what did I do wrong?
versed jackal
there are multiple quests that teleport you, was it the end of the purge quest?
versed jackal
its called "The Purge", do you remember having to warp 16 times and having a counter go up each time?
because if its not that one, you are much earlier in the story
royal kiln
no
that was the quest I was trying to do but I dont know how to get it
I'll keep doing main quests?
versed jackal
yeah its just 1 long chain for the artemis questline
it changes names several times, its hte one that is not atlas path or anomaly
also it shouldn't have required you to repair a new ship
though you might find a random broken ship while walking around
royal kiln
oh okay
well that quest where Apollo has me investigate a portal, I dont recommend it
I lost a good ship doing it
versed jackal
every time you get teleported(3 times?) your ship spawns a bit away from you and you use the visor to find it
royal kiln
ummm
I got teleported to the sentinel planet then to an atlas station and then to a euclid planet with a broken ship
the quests stopped appearing in my log now
versed jackal
that sounds weird
royal kiln
thats what I was thinking
I still have another artemis quest where I have to raise my rep with another race, its not working on korvax because I have max rep
versed jackal
oh then you do have the main story
you cant really max standing, as it keeps going outside the rep levels
it should increase if you do anything that increases standing, like giving gifts, doing missions or shooting pirates in their system
royal kiln
it says it increases but the bar is full
versed jackal
you could also decrease your standing by shooting friendlies, freighters or abandoning delivery missions
royal kiln
I tried that, it didnt go down
versed jackal
it counts standing, not rep levels
icy citrus
I thought the Artemis quest had you raise standing with the guilds...
versed jackal
and yeah that too
royal kiln
if its counting my standing levels, Im probably +100 ontop of the max bar
its not asked me to do that
I have been doing that though
icy citrus
What exactly does your log say?
royal kiln
its gone from 4 main quests to 3, being: The Space Anomaly (Beyond the System?), The Atlas Path (Search for Answers) and Alone Amidst the Stars (Artemis the Explorer)
versed jackal
I have never had 4 main quests, what the hell
always just atlas path, the main story(artemis) and anomaly
icy citrus
So you are trying to get the start chart analyzed?
royal kiln
so much for a "wipe"
umm I am trying to get to the center for a fresh start
or doing the purge to achieve the same thing
icy citrus
The center will advance you one galaxy - the story lets you choose type
versed jackal
the purge is the last quest in the questchain that follows "Alone Amidst the Stars"
royal kiln
oh okay
versed jackal
any idea what that 4th quest was called?
royal kiln
I will focus my energy on that
I dont recall, but Apollo contacted me in space, had me raid a korvax base to find out where sentinels come from, then had me go to three ancient ruins, then to a portal, then through it to the sentinel homeworld, where I got teleported by an "atlas protocol" to an atlas station where I interacted with atlas and chose to "wipe" the galaxy of life, it asked me Y or N (spelt like that) and I said Y and then it gave me three options something like resist (?), rejoice and submit. I chose submit and it said that its always owned me then I was on the crappy world far from my ship, which was broken and crashed and it asked me why I did it (I chose "because I can") and it said that artemis is still out there
ring a bell?
versed jackal
yeah
royal kiln
I know but my teleport list is so cluttered and all my abandoned base names is annoying
versed jackal
sounds bugged either way
royal kiln
I think soi
versed jackal
because aloen amist the stars is the first questline
royal kiln
Im glad that I didnt use my exotic ship
versed jackal
which is way before that part
icy citrus
Yeah
versed jackal
and it definitely shouldn't have removed your ship, just teleported you around and placed your ship some minutes away from you, like when you start a new game(as in hte distance you have to walk)
icy citrus
Did you join an mp game that was doing that mission?
icy citrus
Very weird
royal kiln
I wanted to try joining a mp game close to the center to try and shortcut it but it isnt as easy as it sounds, everyone is way off center
versed jackal
oh yeah, wiping the system(as in computer) is near the end of act 1, which is alone amidst the stars
royal kiln
and I dont know if it will allow me to go to the center
icy citrus
I think he may have accidentally taken Artemis’s ship
royal kiln
oddly, I am repeating the increase standing with by 4 with x race in the alone amid the stars because for some reason it is making me redo it after I did some other quests (apollo base ones)
versed jackal
After you wipe the system and get teleported away, its supposed to start act 2
and you should get a message when you enter your ship for the first time
icy citrus
That raise is for them to translate the star chart Artemis transmitted
versed jackal
"I escape to my ship, glad of something familiar in this strange world.
Where has the portal taken me? I was caught in the gravity of that infernal machine, not strong enough to resist. It identified itself as ATLAS, the entity so many worship and fear.
I saw no sign of Artemis, no trace of the Sentinels. Why did I even step through that gateway? Why did I follow this path?"
royal kiln
yeah i got that
but my ship marker, the only ship around since I couldnt summon one of my other ones, was a crashed ship C28 not my A38
versed jackal
supposed to get a transmission shortly after that? that gives you a marker
versed jackal
"As I stare at the console, an opportunity presents itself once more. There is an inbound transmission, emerging from a location on this very planet..."
and then you find an artemis hologram
royal kiln
I got a message saying artemis is still out there but no marker
no hologram
do you think it glitched, its sounding like I have a double instance of this quest in my log
versed jackal
yeah sounds like it somehow started the questline for a second time?
royal kiln
yeah cos its got me back at raising my standing with the local aliens
I will keep playing, HG really made it time consuming to get anywhere near the center
icy citrus
@frosty arrow might be spoilers, I don’t think so but not sure
The korvax were slaves of the Gek and freed themselves by hundreds of korvax sacrificing themselves over the Gek breeding pools. The korvax nanites changed the Gek into the trader species they are now
frosty arrow
icy citrus
Genetically altered, because they were monsters
They didn’t choose to be nice guy traders, they were made into them
delicate flame
Sounds like the Vy'keen evolved into Gek
strange needle
Which is the best option; rest simulation or refuse atlas
icy citrus
Depends what you want. Refuse will stay in Euclid, reset will give you a choice from the 4 galaxy types to go to. @strange needle
strange needle
@icy citrus If I choose to stay will I be able to go the other galaxies?
icy citrus
Yeah, but your only way will be to go to the center, and that takes you to the next galaxy, you don’t get a choice of types
west cypress
I reckon i am near the end...my current objective is to warn other travellers the galaxy resets in 16 minutes. I havnt initiated this part yet, just went and dismantled my base and tieing up a few other loose ends. Because if my feeling is right...im heading to the Tranquil one :)
royal kiln
@versed jackal I started the artemis questline again and I am in the A Leap In the Dark stage. I have gone through the portal, been taken to the sentinel planet, been transported by the Atlas protocol to Atlas, been flung to a planet with a crashed ship (again not my actual ship but flagged as mine and the only way off the planet), its then told me to find a distress beacon deep inside a cave underground, but there is no flag and the log states WARNING: Mission out of range! and the teleport gate in the local station does not include the designated system in ( ).
How the hell do you do the A Leap In The Dark quest to continue on the purge questline?
Galaxy map says I am 1'348'722 LY from my mission target
royal kiln
found a way around: I joined another game, had the same problem, joined one that had an atlas station in the system, went inside, the marker turned up on a nearby planet, exited, visited the marker, saved, returned to my game
humble basin
I started a new save (haven't played since next came out) came across the first space anomaly immediately after choosing to follow the story not free exploration, which is different this time. Polo wanted me to meet 25 aliens but nada only has the option to 'turn in new milestones' which is greyed out, unable to click.
Is this a known bug, or is there a specific milestone you need for this?
humble basin
Will probably make a backup of the save before I warp out of the system incase the anomaly disapears

Very much
strange needle
Yes
half ibex
That's a sloiler channel
wintry pecan
Without giving too much away I wish to change my decision but will now just spend 100s of gameplay and 1000s of Warp Fuels warping to the centre of the Galaxy

It wasn’t funny the first time

I want to change my decision and reset the Universe but to do so means finding Atlas at the Centre of the Galaxy so I no spend 100s just warping and not being able to return to my base that I have spent over 100 hours building.....so what's the point continuing if it's just to warp after warp...
half ibex
Why do you wish to change galaxy?
icy citrus
Why do you want to go to the next...
half ibex
The difference between every galaxy is minimal to be honest
icy citrus
It doesn’t sound like that would be fun to him though, the journey
wintry pecan
I chose to Refuse the reset with Atlas but was told I could change my decision. So to do so I have to warp to the centre but I'm ove 69000u away. Therefore my entire gameplay will be just warping
half ibex
Wasn't the journey the point of the game?
icy citrus
You won’t be able to choose at the center, you will just go to the next
I’m not sure you comprehend why there are different channels
wintry pecan
yeah, I understand the premise of it being similar to humanity's life cycle but given that I have the option to now Reset and spent a full day collecting all 10 Atlas Seeds, I'd at least like to experience it but to spend the next weeks just warping is pretty off-putting
icy citrus
You don’t need weeks
Get a decent explorer or exotic
Completethe atlas path so you see blackholes
Warp to a black hole 2k out, and go thru - you can average 10k closer every jump
wintry pecan
I understand I can get help with Black Holes from Nada but that would mean completing Milestones in exchange thereby adding to my warping time
icy citrus
Still time consuming of course
In the same amount of time, you could probably start a new game and choose differently
Go away
Bet?
Lol
half ibex
Alas all you can do now is go to the centre of the galaxy
wintry pecan
Hypothetically if my base is now 69000u away from the centre of the galaxy and I warp unitl I'm, say, 49000u away from the centre, would teleporting back to my base take me back to 69000u's away again and to offset this would I have to build a base computer on a planet at the 49000u distance in order to teleport back there to regain the distance nearer to the centre
versed jackal
you can teleport to any station you have visited + any base you have made
icy citrus
No
If you aren’t going to contribute, please stop

Plenty of places for it
When we are talking to people about their questions, it’s just annoying g
wintry pecan
Is it possible to upsticks, delete my permanent base with over 100 hours of building and move the whole thing, lock, stock and barrell in one go. Is this the idea behind the Base Salvage build. I don't think I could face spending over 100 hours building another base nearer the centre of the galaxy
versed jackal
you can move the parts(as in resource cost), but you need to rebuild it
also building it closer to the center doesnt really matter
you can teleport to your base from any station, then teleport back
and upon going through the center, you lose your base anyway
wintry pecan
I have around 10million Units, 1000 Nanites and 2355 Quicksilver
versed jackal
It salvages all your old bases upon switching galaxy last I checked 😦
even if you somehow get back to the old galaxy, its gone
icy citrus
I’m hopeful a galaxy portal for ones you have visited works its way in...even though it’s completely against lore
wintry pecan
I think I was of the mindset that the Atlas mission was the be-all and end-all of the game. I assume that's just to be looked upon as just another mission?
versed jackal
the atlas path is just a minor side quest at this point, it was never really much of a story
icy citrus
The reward is handy, at least imo
versed jackal
yeah it has that going for it
and early on the free warp cells are usefull
also lots of words
icy citrus
Yep
wintry pecan
Yeah it felt such an anti-climax having to make that decision after all the running around. It sort of made me disillusioned with the game for a time.
wintry pecan
Even though I'm over 100 hours into the game I really don't think I have a true grasp of it. I feel as though my entire gameplay is like, within a bubble, and if I were to get out of it I'd realise the true meaning behind the game and everything involved...
I think I've just described life...
So once the Overseer, Scientist and Weapons specialist missions, along with the Atlas missions are complete, is it a case of you're pretty much on your own to find out what to do next...?
versed jackal
Did you already do the artemis story missions?
also farmer and exocraft base missions
also several logs with story in various places, sadly can't read what you have already seen
west cypress
Greetings from Eissentam 😃 and holy shit do i have a lot of things to fix. tbc tomorrow night. Bed time
wintry pecan
If I remember correctly my Artemis storyline quest is showing as, 'New Beginnings'. Yes I've built all 3 Exocrafts and the Farmer is just asking for random plants now...So it it a case of go out and live a life on the planet, collecting resources and a bit of planet exploring
turbid hatch
once you go to another galaxy is their a way to get back to the starting one ?
versed jackal
can sort of go back by using multiplayer, but only temporarily I believe, can also loop around by going through all 255 galaxies but that takes way too long without being able to use portals to travel
west cypress
Yeah so now like, the only way to the center is via warps and black holes? That seems so brutal seeing as how black holes feel like they jump you bugger all distance. Think Eissentam will be my new home for a long time
versed jackal
black holes warps you 5-7k ly closer to the center at a random spot in a circle around the core
west cypress
Oh cool. So then around 100 warps gets you to the middle. Which means only 25,500 warps to return to Euclid 😋
weary zodiac
I thing you cant return back to Euclid. After 256 galaxies is galaxy 257 with random name.
west cypress
Has anyone actually seriously done it? Made the entire journey?
nocturne adder
save editors have found that out. and whatever the max number really is, it rolls over to negative galaxies, so say its actually a 16 or 32 bit interger, in order to get back to euclid, it would take several million or billion to get to the max, then double that to get through the negatives
save editors can get you back to negative 6 so far
icy citrus
@weak garnet have you crafted the last recipe for the Atlas?
icy citrus
That black hole takes you to the created system
weak garnet
Whoa
icy citrus
Dont get extremely excited- it’s procgen and abides by the same rules as other systems in your galaxy
But it’s a nice touch to be able to see what you “made”
icy citrus
Yes, and you can join players in Euclid
Or wherever
The events have all been in Euclid - I’m not there
I would recommend a manual save before joining someone in another galaxy.. Never know when some bug will crop up
weak garnet
Like at a beacon or save point?
icy citrus
Yep
weak garnet
Okay
icy citrus
I haven’t needed it, but I’m paranoid
weak garnet
One last thing, is it possible to have bases in both galaxies, and travel between them?
icy citrus
No
weak garnet
Sigh...
icy citrus
@weak garnet pick Tranquil at the end of the Artemis quest
That will take you to Eissentam
weak garnet
it just says for me to explore the galaxy :/
icy citrus
Did you do the Purge?
weak garnet
i finished the quest (it said i could make my decision at any time
i didnt do anything
icy citrus
Well at the end of the storyline path you only get 2 options - Refuse or Reset
icy citrus
I don’t know of any way to change that choice. The only way to Eissentam I know of besides that is to visit the center of multiple galaxies to make your way there
Eissentam is like the 10th or 12th galaxy 😦
weak garnet
Since I screwed up, I guess I gotta remake my permadeath..
Nah, I'll make a survival instead and keep that permadeath
Hehe
turbid verge
"The Purge" quest line can be done in each galaxy you pass through, so in effect, go the the Center where you are now and travel to the next Galaxy, then you can re-start "The Purge" and make the choice this time to Reset, and choose "Green" to get to the 10th
Just use a Signal Booster to find a Monolyth, use a Relic for what ever the local race is and choose the Portal Option, go to the Portal, and charge the Glyphs, it will start the 16/16 countdown
icy citrus
That would be nice if it worked - I can’t do that though - it just charges the portal like normal
tacit sable
I have a question on the Atlas Path quest, appreciate any insight... I have the Heart of the Sun so I can make remembrance. But I seem stuck on anything further to try to get Star Seed? Is that still a thing?
Do I need to go back and talk to Nada again before I continue and after having the Heart of the Sun?
dusk badge
This game has me getting so mixed feelings
i want to go to the center but i don't want to restart the system. I feel sorry for null and apollo
livid yarrow
Not sure, the atlas path should have one last atlas to go after the heart of the sun that looks different from the others, then the black hole thing and I got remembrance soon after, dunno exactly
dreamy quartz
Is it worth it to leave the Euclid Galaxy?
jovial stag
i have in my other save, only to get the Rememberance which I now have in my 2nd save without leaving Euclid
and now I can go back and leave any time I choose
but at the moment I choose to stay in Euclid
@tacit sable you should have got the Star seed before the Rememberance... I got the Rememberance for "Refusing the Atlas" and thus stayed in Euclid... in my other save I reset everything and went to a different galaxy... a few currently in Hesperious Dimension
hollow badger
Anyone want to answer some questions about the center?
dreamy quartz
Anything special happen if you actually manage to visit all 256 galaxies? Like what happens if you try and visit another galaxy on the 256th galaxy?
hollow badger
I meant from @bleak talon response
dreamy quartz
oh okay
hollow badger
haha sorry
bleak talon
it's okay, just gotta breathe
hollow badger
I guess I am confused... like what do I do now that I am at the center?
bleak talon
unsure, never actually been to the center myself
west cypress
I reset to go to Eissentam, but from what I understand the center sends you to the next galaxy in line. Whereas choosing to 'reset' allows you to skip a few and detemermine the type you end up in. Take note, if you change galaxies all your land bases are destroyed and gone. So pack them up before hand
versed jackal
@hollow badger Select the path to the center at the top, go to the closest system marked by the line, then make sure the camera is not in the free roam mode, but rather the one where it is locked to a system and you can hold a direction to switch to a nearby one, this being the default mode when you open the galaxy map.
If both the path to the center is selected, you are at the closest system, and the camera is in the locked mode, it will zoom out after like a second and select the core for you, you need a full hyperdrive to make the jump but the hyperdrive range you have doesn't matter(it will tell you if you dont have enough fuel). Upon confirming the warp it will show a nice animation and switch the galaxy you are in
hollow badger
ahh thanks @versed jackal I will give it a try
royal kiln
you can select the quest and start flying back to the center
if you choose green then you usually go to Eissentam
brittle snow
so is it just me or
does the Peter Thiel thing people are talking about (the company that harvests blood plasma from young people in order to sell to old rich people to extend their lives i swear to GOD i'm not making this up) remind anyone else a lot of the lore from the one bit late in the weapon guy's questline where you have to collect vy'keen daggers
crisp fern
lol! if memory serves don't the daggers carry some other chemical, not the blood of young vy'keen, tho?
brittle snow
I thought it was described as a chemical or enzyme or something that comes from vy'keen blood
and that the reason he's so old and decrepit now is because he 'donated' a bunch early in life
crisp fern
Hmm, I think they were just generally old & depressed & ready to pass on...But I can't remember specifics on what it was about the dagger that helped rejuvenate them
Ah here we go:
I myself spent years enmeshed within the harvest circuits, my organs sacrificing their enzymes for the fleet. I was glad to do so. But we need not repeat such torment today. Enzyme remnants found on Vy'keen Daggers should be enough to heal me now.```

The boundary failures actually give backstory for an AI named Telamon, who was a safety protocol to watch over the Atlas, well, as it turns out, Telamon wound up inside the last travellers exosuit (our annoying AI that repeats "units received")

Yes... That's the point of getting to the center
Unless you're in a hub there
There's a few in the center
bleak talon
I get that they're classified differently in character customization but anomalies are still travellers, right?
hollow badger
So I have passed through the center into another galaxy... what has happen to my base?
versed jackal
its gone, check if the previous base cache has the resource cost for it
versed jackal
damn, wasn't sure if they had fixed that yet or not
hollow badger
that was an issue before?
versed jackal
used to go there before next, but everything changed with next
didnt even have a previous base cache at first in next
hollow badger
right
I was thinking I would open that and it would have stuff
I a assuming my storage units will have what was in there
but the resources to build the base I thought would be in there
versed jackal
yeah the storage containers will have their old stuff for sure

@cloud epoch New biomes? How did they do that without regenerating universe again?
versed jackal
what are these new biomes you speak of?
south needle
new types of planets, like barren, cold, hot, toxic, hexagon, fractured
cloud epoch
it's on the modding discord under screenshots
i dont know if they are actually findable in-game tho
cloud epoch
or if the person posting manipulated a planet to force the new props
south needle
according to @fierce musk they are not active yet
cloud epoch
ah thanks for that roger
mental socket
I think we won't be seeind drastic biome implementations in a while (waterfalls, volcanic planets, gas worlds with floating islands etc.)
That would require a lot of work and another universe reset
Those type of biomes the modders dug up. Those are just same old planets with new props
cloud epoch
i'm aware

Looks like they finally fixed the rocket boots (from the patchnotes)

Once I have done the base computer quest to the point where it just gives me salvaged tech once a day is that it?
Also, is my Foreman secretly evil, because the farmer sure made it sound that way as did the scientist, but he hasn't done anything, he just asks for pictures.

You all realize that is the floating guy in the freighter

It rotates around a little pedestal you build at your base
you can build as many as you'd like as well

They fixed the pugneum -> nanites one

they fixed nanites recipes using pugneum

I have a question regarding the trophy/achievement for getting to the center on Permadeath. Does completing the Artemis line and choosing to go to a new galaxy count? Or do we have to get there manually?

@frozen sinew once you reach the center of each galaxy, you can move to another
@west cypress ill see you there 😉
what to do.... lol

Through the artemis path you can skip to one

Quick question, what does the DATA INJECTION//UNKNOWN SOURCE//sth purple warning mean?

about the galaxies, check #nms-photomode-gallery I posted an image of the order and type of some galaxies there
west cypress
I finsihed Artemis on my main PS4 save and I chose green to go to Eissentam. Loving it so far
coarse zenith
I didn't get that when i finished Artemis storyline
fervent rock
@deft depot it's the message you get on each warp after you start on the final few phases of the main storyline.
You should notice you're getting new portal glyphs (once you exceed the number you already have).
west cypress
Should have done. You kinda have to. They arent called Eissentam etc they have weird names but that is where the lead. Green was called Halcyon for me
fervent rock
After 16 warps you'll have them all.
west cypress
@coarse zenith my reply was to you
fervent rock
@coarse zenith @west cypress the wiki has the details on the galaxy types and options at the end there
Green = Tranquil (AKA Inspiring, Serene or Halcyon) and takes you to Eissentam.
west cypress
Yeah. Mine was Halcyon. What about this...can you go to the center manually, just to do it. And then finish Artemis in the next galaxy and choose where you wanna go?
deft depot
@fervent rock oh, that's pretty cool, thanks! I was planning to grab the glyphs from traveller NPCs as I progress the Atlas Path but this makes it much easier!
fervent rock
Yeah, took me a number of warps before I realised what was going on myself.
west cypress
Wait i thought you needed the 16 glyphs first, and that final phase "locks them in" making them a permanent part of you. For lore purposes since you have them anyway
I had my 16 as early as i could so not sure haha
fervent rock
@west cypress nope, I had 6-7 when I started on that part of the story and it gave me the rest
.. one warp at a time
west cypress
Oh right, cool :) i got mine asap to go get an experiments S class MT and a white squid exotic

Yea they get into some deep stuff
The reason the gek arent warmongers is because of the korvax
But does any of that matter
Since its all just a simulation

I wonder if the Gek, Korvax and Vy'keen really existed. Or if they're just there to make the simulation interesting.
gusty berry
do you think you exist?
icy citrus
I discord, therefore I am
wintry ore
Back to the purge though, I chose to pursue the atlas path instead. At the end I’ll probably go no u to him because I’m going to stay in Euclid and go to Eissentam in another save. As long as I ignore it I’m Gucci though right?
atomic hill
You can go to the Atlas and have one final chance to deny the Atlas
The quest won't bother you again after that
wintry ore
Yeah I’ll say No u
Can I always come back though
Wait what happens if I even complete the atlas path? Birthing a new star?
livid yarrow
You stay in euclid, the only things that change system are the main path and reaching the center, I believe that the new star just makes you use a black hole and pops you into a new system
Not positive but I think that's what someone else mentioned before
west cypress
Yeah atlad path you just birth a new star, and then gain black hole access that leads to it. I think basically what the game is implying, if you do this and go through the center, you change galaxies and enter the new one where you "birthed" the star. Which is still inconsequential when that happens anyway.
*atlas
atomic hill
Atlas Path unlocks black holes, and gives you the star seed, which does something.
You don't actually make a new star, but that's neither here nor there.
odd panther
When you complete the main story of NMS, do you have to go to a new Galaxy or can you remain in Euclid
atomic hill
The Artemis storyline (the one where you reset/go to a new galaxy) can end with you either jumping to another galaxy or staying there
odd panther
Sweet thanks.
atomic hill
Either thing will get you the Rememberance, and I think you can go to an Atlas station to reset later if you want
But no, you are in no way required to leave Euclid if you don't want, on any story path.
odd panther
Cool cause that's where all the people are.
atomic hill
(also note: you actually can jump into mp games in different galaxies, or I'm pretty sure you can.)
wintry ore
You can but you go back to your home galaxy after
So the atlas path doesn’t really do anything. Ok then, I’ll make a new star but no u the atlas and stay in Euclid. 16 minutes is a good enough time for me
atomic hill
16 earth minutes on a timescale that is probably trillions of in-universe years.

I've jumped out of euclid galaxy .... into the Hitanua Nebula the blue one .... can I jump galaxies quickly ??
The blue one is a frosty as frost is 😃
west cypress
Did you get there via Artemis line or going to the center? I asked the question earlier but didnt manage to find an answer, whether or not you can complete the Artemis quest in a new galaxy after going to the center and changing first on your own.
But otherwise the only way to move on is to return to the center. From memory, Eissentam (green/tranquil) technically starts at galaxy #8 or something? Someone posted it few days back regarding how many galaxies you actually jump forward making the choice to reset at the end of Artemis

The core - if you warp to it, you go the the next galaxy

To all whom it concerns, if you don't destroy your bases (specifically ones that alter the terrain), when you purge and go to a new galaxy, you wont get the terrain removal back for future bases.

Black hole jumping is the most expedient way again
Soup up an exotic or explorer with a good hyperdrive bonus - jump to the furthest black hole you can (at least 2k) then go thru - you should be able to average around 10k closer with each warp
Still 70 jumps or so - but that’s not that many considering how quick they go

dreamy quartz
The game lore basically says the entire game is a computer simulation run by the Atlas, and thus sentinels are simply programmed in instead of built in factories.
And exotic biomes are basically glitches in the system.
It's basically the matrix.
old yoke
exactly
the sentinel factory is basically a bug
somehow the planet generation got sentinel code loaded in or some shit
and it's basically a massive planet-sized sentinel that's constantly generating other sentinels
dreamy quartz
Hm....

look it doesn't have to make perfect sense
placid barn
all those 3x factions are made as NPCs
to see how an "Traveller AI, you" proceeds in the simulation
west cypress
+1 for a galaxy reset in which we convince the Atlas there are no anomalies and therefore no sentinels. Or at systems hidden/uncharted by sentinels 😋
west cypress
Or perhaps, as some kind of DLC content, we get a taste or glimpse of something outside of the simulation...and ultimately choosing to make the Artemis choice on ourselves

I'd love no sentinels or at least some complex meta with them like sentinel focus points we can destroy to keep them from appearing in a system or some kind of negotiation with them.
I mean prettt much every traveler trounces the sentinels. Surely they need some help
Unlrss you are full newb.
Full newbs haven't traveled yet therefore not travelers so statement stands
Be cool if I could have sentinel buddy. Just have to kill x number of naughty players per week as upkeep

Is there anything special about the system you create in the Atlas quest line (the birth a star thing where you enter the Atlas station and use the Heart of the Sun)? Like what kind of system is it? Uncharted? I'm asking because I goofed and never got to visit, and now it's lost in the vastness of space lol.
Also, when someone answers this, please ping me so I'll see.
coarse zenith
Wait you can visit it?????? Awe maaaaaaan
west cypress
Haha sort of. When you get to the center you go to a new galaxy anyway. I believe choosing 'birth a new star' in the atlas path implies that it was you who created it. In other words; ignore atlas path or dont birth - end up in new galaxy through center. Follow atlas path and birth new star - end up in new galaxy through center (with the implication you created the star there)
At least thats how i see all that
coarse zenith
That's very confusing
icy citrus
Nah
After birthing a star - the atlas will give you a waypoint to a black hole - go thru that to see the system “birthed”
uncut harness
so when you birth this thing using heart of the sun; it doesnt create a new galaxy?
west cypress
My point being it ultimately means nothing..the new star you "birthed" that the Atlas leads you to, should you choose that path...you end up there anyway if you dont follow and still go to the center. Atlad Path just adds some personal attachment to the lore
icy citrus
No
Going to the center switches galaxies
Going through the black hole leads to the system you birthed - not galaxy - you don’t birth a galaxy
dreamy quartz
But is there anything special about the star you create?
atomic hill
You don't actually create a star.
In the code, nothing actually happens when you make your star.
dreamy quartz
Lol..... You mean it's a jape? What does the black hole link to then? An already existing star?
atomic hill
The black holes just go closer to the center.
But no, the technical limitations of the engine mean you actually cant make new stars.
dreamy quartz
So the system it takes you to is just a random system? Nothing special about it?
icy citrus
Correct
dreamy quartz
lol
it's a JAPE
well thank you for letting me know.... I was worried I was missing out on something great
coarse zenith
Oh damn
icy citrus
Reset will give you a choice of four galaxy types to choose from
Refuse will state in your current galaxy
That shows the different types and how they affect planet spawns
If you leave your galaxy, you will lose any bases - but retain everything else - your storage containers are protected, their inventory will be there when you build them again
old yoke
I keep my freighter base?
icy citrus
Yes
icy citrus
My fault - freighters are unaffected
No
You can join someone there, but won’t be able to stay
old yoke
Okay so my mining beam is broken and needs ferrite dust that I don't have to fix
So that's fun
icy citrus
Punch rocks
old yoke
I just quit and reloaded my old save because I didn't realize everything would explode and I wasn't ready
also didn't want to leave my current base
Question: I completed Artemis path, but how do I acquire the ability to go through portals?
Is that Atlas path rather than Artemis?
coarse zenith
Kinda wish it wasn't all a simulation
Kinda kills the point behind everything
Like the gek first spawn and all that
icy citrus
@old yoke check the guide in your pause menu - if you go through the Purge mission it gives you the glyphs needed for portals. Otherwise you can find them by asking travellers where they came from, that will direct you to a grave
old yoke
So I got the glyphs and did everything but actually go through the portal for the purge mission, what now
rain lava
The next time you go through a portal - any portal - it'll trigger the countdown. Going through a portal will eventually get you to Atlas and the refuse/rebirth option.

Do you mean how they're basically slaves to the Atlas and biologically rewritten?
echo summit
Yep.
steady ember
I disliked that, too, I resorted to role-playing it as my character is a cryogenically frozen First Spawn
I don't like the Korvax for that reason, too, they're still slaves
echo summit
True, but they fought past the oppression of the First Spawn by essentially becoming the Gek you see today
That's what I admire about them. I don't believe them to be fully under the control of the Atlas, as they clearly show plenty forms of sentience.
I do know what you mean though, with them seeing the Atlas as their God.
They're not the snooty, uptight robots I saw them as a while ago. Glad I got to read up on their history. (^:
steady ember
I'm not entirely sold on playing an anomaly
They really need to fix the skin colors on the other races, I dislike how the black options just turns them snow white, if that wasn't the case I'd play a Traveller
west cypress
Pyramid head traveller all day haha. Anomaly heads are too big for their body. Especially the new ones
icy citrus
@mild condor all the planets for the events have been ones that were submitted before next
earnest wharf
For the weekly event
It says go to marked planet but all I see is bases and comm stations
Anyone know what I should be looking for?
icy citrus
Once you portal through, there should be a manufacturing facility to go to
earnest wharf
I only saw a distress Beacon and visited that
earnest wharf
Will look for manufacturing
icy citrus
Get a little distance, no blue icon for the facility?
I didn’t have to search, it popped up for me without using a booster or anything
earnest wharf
Same planet as the portal?
icy citrus
Yeah
earnest wharf
Thanks
earnest wharf
Blrp
icy citrus
Maybe some of the comms are blocking the icon, try looking from space
earnest wharf
That's my guess
earnest wharf
so i found a manu nearby
no marker
and the door was buried in rock
so i terrained it
shot the door, went inside and just got a regular blueprint
gonna try reloading later today
on a work break
icy citrus
Good luck!
frosty thicket
Um, i just finished some stuff and now i chose to explore the galaxy in response to what wull i do about the atlas dying, what now?
smoky spear
What's the deal with the overseer?
icy citrus
It’s fluff
dreamy quartz
So... In the context of the NMS lore, what is the difference between the Anomaly race and the Traveler Race?
icy citrus
I don’t know that it’s ever specifically addressed in game
@timid mist , you remember anything about that question from deoxys?
timid mist
Don't think it's addressed
I'm pretty sure we're referred to as travelers in most dialogue
prime crown
the last ones no?
icy citrus
I always assumed they were the same, but we do have a specific race for anomalies so...
prime crown
And (null) would be the first
icy citrus
At the beginning I answered I am traveller cmon
timid mist
Maybe aliens perceive us as travelers because we don't fit any of their expectations, but the Atlas and travelers realize we are something else?
prime crown
@icy citrus you shall not make your own path
timid mist
Although yeah I think null refers to us as a traveler so that falls apart
icy citrus
But the travellers talk to us like we are the same things
prime crown
Well, we aren't anomalies
timid mist
Pyramid heads , lightbulb heads, and regular sorta alien heads
icy citrus
That’s why first person is a lower viewpoint
