i have a slight feeling you need to continue Artemis questline, since that unlocks things
Hol' up, there are sunken buildings, so that explain's the portals and alien artifacts underwater back in 1.0 🤔
mystic igloo
Just spotted this in the log
Fixed an issue where protection tech would only drain for one hazard at a time.
Does that mean that protection upgrade can stack up now?
uncut harness
🤔
violet narwhal
One hazard, so I would interpret that as e.g. radiation and heat at the same time.
mystic igloo
I don't think I've encountered a frozen radioactive planet so far.
timid mist
Can happen at night
mystic igloo
right
cloud epoch
most common instance of two hazards is popping freighter crates and getting that burst of rads

Would be neat to see some of these extreme planets with multiple hazards
timid mist
That too zin

had a cold night desert planet have a heatstorm at night and my hazard bar was super confused

Yeah freighter crates was the one I was thinking of.

There is (or at least should be, was in the data before) an underwater oxygen boost upgrade now.
mystic igloo
cool
timid mist
There was before, unless it's something else
violet narwhal
Yeah something new
mystic igloo
I hope it's something else that gives more than a 30 seconds of oxygen.
cloud epoch
i should really play subnautica one day but not in the mood to learn a new crafting game lol
violet narwhal
Reroutes oxygen from the life support system to the breathable bits if you run out of oxygen underwater but that seems... placeholdery.
timid mist
For sure
mystic igloo
The old upgrade was basically just bringing a small balloon filled with air with you just in case.
timid mist
@cloud epoch imo subnautica's inventory is worse than NMS lol

i'm suspecting anomaly tho

I expect anomaly too, when this week's event starts.
violet narwhal
And if you have got to where it starts, it just appears in your log?
visual mirage
Correct
From what I understand, when you hit that point, the next time you're in space, it starts.
violet narwhal
That's unfortunate, then, as I've finished the Artemis quests as far as I know, and have no mission...
visual mirage
Hmmmmm
woeful root
@real sapphire you get the helmet at the end of the new questline added in
visual mirage
@violet narwhal Curious - try jumping out of your system and see if it triggers
violet narwhal
Good idea
visual mirage
CONFIRMED: If you are not far enough through the Artemis questline, the mission will not start, the game will wait for you to get to a certain point first. Completing The First Traveller will allow you to accept the new mission. Also - if you HAVE completed the Artemis quests, jump to a new system. That should trigger the new mission
violet narwhal
I thought I had done all the Artemis stuff. I don't have it in my log. But I do have a marker for "The First Traveller" on one system.
visual mirage
Gotcha. Yeah, once you finish that, you should be good
violet narwhal
Wait, nevermind, duh, I do have it in my log after all.
That's... pretty late game really.
visual mirage
It is.
modern parrot
@visual mirage damn, there is still so much I have to do first. I hated this part of the Artemis questline the most, involving base building and farming. I don't think I have the patience to do it again on my new save
visual mirage
Hey, I just reinstalled the game, so I'm starting from scratch.
I'll get to it.....eventually.

Yeah, me too. I can't stand the base building quests really, that's not why I play No Man's Sky

So I got back on story and had one more building to find I guess. Said "guess i'll never know who these people were" and I got the helmet and the mission disappeared off my mission list -- and a little musical chime sequence sounded.
Does that sound right --- short is the Abyss initial mission?
I guess the rest of the parts I get from bprint scanner. I only received one part during this quest.

That's all I did
I got all the parts though, as far as I know.

You buy them from the guy in your base as far as I know

icy citrus
Then again, maybe we unlock boost for it another way

Uhh
I can't buy stuff
It just says I should let them get on with their business
I'll check the station shop
@icy citrus You were right, there's no boost module

It's mentioned that the water was observed getting deeper.

In one of the logs they observed water getting deeper, but not ebbing or flowing

Having tides might be nice, but adds a few tech challenges. However, would tides make sense with there being no orbits? I know this is not a simulator LOL, I mean maybe it would just be cool.

I don't feel tides would add anything.

I feel tides would add dynamic interest, with things like caves being unflooded when the tide is low, etc depending on the position of the orbiting moon, and the planets terrain features

It seems they decided to make some form of humanity Canon
But the atlas erased all humans, and now that the atlas is dying they may reappear
versed jackal
Humans already existed in the lore in the crashed freighter logs from atlas rises
violet narwhal
We have been ordered to shoot down any Vy'keen vessels on - kzzkzt - They have been deemed enemies of the Atlas, enemies of the Council, enemies of all humanity... We have been ordered to aid a Vy'keen splinter faction in the hope that they might create internal unrest and divide their purpose. We are to rendezvous with two promising revolutionaries, battle-brothers by the names of Hirk and Nal. Someone is reading these messages. Who are you?
The Traveller found us once again. We have killed them eight times already, and still they show only kindness, only gratitude at an opportunity to converse. What have we done? I cannot help but feel - kzzkt - They tell us that they are not like the others of their kind, just as we are not like the others of our own species. They survived beyond the end of all things. They committed terrible deeds, of that they have no doubt, but what are ethics in the face of an existential fall? Universes come and go. Civilisations rise and they end. And through it all, the cycle continues. But even that must one day cease. Nothing lasts forever, not even time itself. And in those final moments, in the decay of all that is or will be, the boundaries between worlds will fall. Our time will come again, if only in brief. We will be seen, we will be heard, and our ship? Our freighter? We will live again, in all our multiplicity, in all human worth... We will live again because someone, somewhere, will read our words for a final time.
I'm not convinced either of those, or any other human-related mention (e.g. "humanoid remains") really indicated the presence of humans.
Wiktionary: 1. (not comparable) Of or belonging to the species Homo sapiens or its closest relatives. 2. (comparable) Having the nature or attributes of a human being. I'd say 2 rather than 1, and so basically "translation error".
versed jackal
its much more than just those words
they also compare how their young are raised in another log
and how the vy'keen are very similar to their own
and also them being a 4th race
that is not the travellers
so if its not humans, its atleast a very similar 4th race
I have a child at home to look after now, or so I am told. My travels must come to an end.
I look around my crew and ponder their families. The Gek are spawned in vast numbers, knowing their parents' identity, but by necessity they are unable to form any meaningful bond. Theirs is a life of competition from the beginning. Perhaps this is what gives them their nature as traders.
The Korvax have no children at all, apart perhaps from the artificial intelligences they create for various experiments. Only the family units of the Vy'keen resemble our own, small units of parents and a number of sibling children, raised as warriors.
Our entire history is one of war and hatred. We are so similar to the Vy'keen, and as I look at my child, I wonder...
Never mind. I will know soon enough, and there is business to take care of before I am home.```Ah yes
versed jackal
there is also the log that talks about having echoes of the dead for the rich and how those echoes are similar to the korvax ones, echoes is a tech mentioned in the Waking Titan lore
though no idea how the timelines of waking titan and the stuff in this simulation is at all connected
violet narwhal
That could still be the travellers though? Some of them are more organic-looking than others.
versed jackal
travellers are specifically mentioned as another thing
violet narwhal
Hmm... I don't see it in that log at least?
versed jackal
yeah its another log, though its not 100% certain that all the logs are from the same races POV
The Traveller wished to dock without a ship. They claimed they could help us restart our engines after the - kzzzkt -
I took the risk, even if Hicks threatened to report me. Help is help.
They are strange beings. They do not appear interested in food or water, never leaving their so-called 'exosuits', even in habitable environments.
They ask many questions about our history, about the Atlas, and the visions of old. I tell them what I know, although it doesn't seem to help them.
... // We were those who saw the face of God // ...
... // We were those who were uplifted from an orb of dirt and rubble to the stars themselves // ...
The Traveller claims that none of it is real? Who are - kzzkt -
Hicks? lol
violet narwhal
I had heard the rumours. So-called 'Traveller anomalies', beings of varied appearance and purpose. Their ship approached, our weapons primed. They - kzzkt - The one before us begged for peace. They appeared to be bio-mechanical, at least in part. We struck them from the sky. Probes recovered the body. Well, fragments of DNA and code. The two are almost interchangeable, my researchers tell me. I must confess to a great deal of excitement. But this - kzkzkt - Our duty: we must understand what is happening to our worlds. Visuals confirm it. The same individual we shot down two weeks ago is standing right before us again. These beings are somehow restored upon death, just as the Emperor suggested. Well then. An opportunity to retrieve more samples. I order their death once more.
The only mention of an Emperor I can see.

Yeah.. for some dumb reason I'm expecting it to change the game in some way
But they just put out a titled update lol
probably those weird biomes will appear after
rough copper
Welcome to No Man's Sky 1.8 "Food and weird biomes"
rough copper
On that note it would be cool if we could build a campfire type device to protect us from the elements, or a land marine shelter lol
rough copper
Yeah or just a tent, or one of those semi circular shelters near some buildings
timid mist
I don't know if I'd like a tent, unless it's a joke haha
rough copper
Space Tent!
rough copper
Mylar lol
rough copper
This is fine
timid mist
haha
I am excited to see what else gets added
And how the other datamined things come into play
i.e. how they function in game
rough copper
Yeah if done right it could be another layer of complexity to everything, and actually be fun
if done wrong, it could be another bar to fill :/
Dumb theory I was thinking up last night, based on a few things
Basically I think maybe HG could make it so we choose a race and stick with it throughout the game, and it would affect how the game plays.
I started to think this after re-reading the new helmet types for gek, vykeen, and one that is "invisible" allowing you to see the natural face and also be protected
So choosing a race would affect your stats like health, stamina, which environments drain your hazard bar, and how eating certain foods would affect you
rough copper
probably just complete fantasy, and just my mind filling in gaps though 😛
timid mist
Although, I can't say I've seen many games where hunger wasn't just another bar
rough copper
Yeah lol
timid mist
Having the food give buffs and making the hunger only appear in survival+ would be neat though
rough copper
worked well in subnautica though
rough copper
Haha it depends.
timid mist
If I were to spew my fantasy about it I'd generate too much hype 😩
Mine is based on nothing though
rough copper
I mean if we're going to complain about bars that simply drain, it's hard not to mention hazard protection
timid mist
That's not all the time though
rough copper
at least life support is also affected by other factors like your jetpack use, shield use, and now emergency rebreather thingy
timid mist
There are also places you don't have to deal with hazard protection
rough copper
Hazard protection is what, 3-4 preset levels, which is then masked by a temperature/tox/rad level that doesn't actually mean anything
all with the same exact result of player damage, would be cool to see them give each environmental hazard actual different gameplay effects. I understand why they havent though, because it's hard to think of things for this
and c'mon zoid lets hear those theories
I have some more in regards to how they'll update the game but those are even wilder speculation
timid mist
My theory was that it could be food you feed to animals to tame them 😬
rough copper
That's a possibility... I think in the week one event it mentioned that feeding farmed/tamed animals doesn't count, even though they aren't a thing in game. Also the harvestable animal resources in the language files hint at keeping animals for long term harvesting without killing them.
What is unclear though is if you would be able to tame animals without a base on that planet, or transport different species to other planets... I think that would cause more memory issues than big bases do
I really hope that the food stuff comes with a land creature overhaul, the changes since launch have been so minimal. Even just adding like ten new skin patterns would make a world of difference. Or imagine some RDR 2 style animal fur
last moon
Fur is expensive. But would look nice!
coarse zenith
Yes
crisp fern
@uncut harness we've been overthinking reflections, the absence of reflections of characters reveals the simulation, a classic game challenge. alternatively, the distortion of reflections likewise reveals simulation.
if the creator cannot observe themselves, or observes a distorted (i.e. low res) reflection, they may come to realize a fault in their reality. 😮
tacit sable
quick question on MT's. I found an MT I like in an A class cabinet on a space station. If I search the system for an S class cabinet can I save/ reload to force space station MT to appear there?
icy citrus
Maybe - each planet and station has multiple seeds to draw from
If you know how to do the force - the ones switched are linked - what I mean is, if a multi tool switches to the one you want, that multitool will always switch to that one
So then you would be able to look on the planets table for the one that switches to your preferred weapon
tacit sable
not sure what that meant at the end, my understanding was like you say each planet has a pool... the station cabinet chooses from the pool of one of the planets... not sure if that was correct. I guess the issue is if I find an s class cabinet and it doesn't proc the same gun as station that as they say is the end of it?
icy citrus
No, the station has its own pool
Shared with the anomaly
When you first enter a system you are automatically on the system pool (station & anomaly)
tacit sable
oh. I see, so maybe if I am lucky the anomaly cabinet will be s class as the station has a nice looking experimental but it is a class
icy citrus
When you save and reload on a planet you switch to the planets pool
tacit sable
oh i see so as soon as i land on a planet and hop out, i am switched\
icy citrus
So say you go to the station and it has a good tool. You go to the planet and see that tool in a cabinet
When you save and reload there that tool switches
That tool would be the one that always changes to the stations tool
So find an s version of it
Save and reload back on the station
Then go get your station S
From that planet cabinet
tacit sable
now i understand thanks!
icy citrus
no problem
icy citrus
Good luck 😃

Looks like I am SOL. Only two planets, a lifeless one (no outpost) and a temporary moon that looks cool but again has no outposts

fierce parcel
I had a weird thing yesterday
After having the free freighter bug twice is the next system toward the center, I decided to move to another random system.
Instead of having the freighter event, i got the Artemis call.
I go to the crash ship, repair pulse engine & launch thruster I directly head to the station to exanchge it, I managed to have a S pretty class Fighter with 19 slots for it.
I hop in the new ship and i start to do a couple missions for Artemis, after the triangulation one, I head back to the station station and the crashed ship I repaired is abandonned in the station so i could claim it back
Did it happenned to anyone?
violet narwhal
I've seen people saying stuff that suggests they've changed how the ship trading/selling works slightly... Possibly by mistake, but who knows... Anyway, I guess whatever the change was has had some strange effects.

https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan everything you need to know is here
silent pasture
So my friend and I are reaching the end of the main quest(s?) and I have some questions
-If we choose to not make a new galaxy, can we still travel to a new one later on?
-If so, can we choose which galaxy, or is it random?
-Do we lose any quests? Say, Space Anomaly, mission boards, base construction/specialists (we lose planet bases right?)
versed jackal
If by main quest you mean the artemis storyline then you can choose to either pick one of the 4 galaxy types, or not "reset", this choice is a part of the quest, if you choose to not reset you miss out on picking one of those 4 options, but you can still switch galaxies with another method, either way you are not missing out on anything permanently
The other way of changing galaxies is by travelling to the core, this moves you to the next galaxy in the order(of any type). Changing galaxies during the story sends you to the next galaxy in the order that matches that type of galaxy. There are 255 accessible galaxies that loop back to the start if you ever reach the end.
Either way when you change galaxies you lose access to your bases(as they are planet bound), any missions requiring a location will get a new one and any tech installed on your exosuit, multi-tool and current ship will be broken and require repairs. You don't lose anything else including your specialists
silent pasture
That is a much better explanation than what I was expecting, thank you very much!
desert thorn
has anyone ever reached the end?
versed jackal
yes, both with and without cheats
harder now though
can't use portals for quick travel as easily anymore
for a bit you could travel to the core from the edge in like 15min
versed jackal
If you want to continue the quest you have to, nothing bad happens
desert thorn
oh okay, cool
split mulch
silent pasture
Also one maybe stupid question, but do Atlas Stations and the Space Anomaly show up after the main quest is over and you move in other galaxies? Like I guess it would make sense if they did for lore reasons, but I dont think at least the Atlas would serve much purpose anymore?
silent pasture
Okay they do lol

So to recap, I have 4 orbs in front of me. Raging, tranquil, frozen and parallel.
What's the difference in Galaxy?

Different ones spawn different planet types more often
ripe dawn
And when I go through it, what changes?

No
Raging : More extreme planets and dangers (so yes pirates)
Tranquil : More lush planets and less dangers

Do I lose my freighter?

do we have a model of it
violet narwhal
No... People thought what became the submarine was going to be the hovercraft, as it was kind of partially implemented like that at one point, or something....
One guess for the gek milk... As all the other things look like stuff you can shoot, that gekmilk may be from the protogek-type random creatures?
violet narwhal
Uh, they were talking about that earlier, in a somewhat less memeish way, and it probably belongs here instead, so...
Actually, I think I must be right. Meat equivalent is called "ProtoSausage".

Food system? This game better not get yet another bar you need to keep full constantly
I imagined life support to already take care of food and water via tubes
Like you can even share your food or water tube with a Gek I believe
icy citrus
We don’t know what the food will be for, or even if it will make it in
If it’s another bar, I will be playing creative
native dragon
If there's a hunger bar I'll flip tables.
last moon
It will be; go shoot creature, put in refiner, make food, fill bar. LOL
(Take this with a grain of salt, I am a big fan of the game. It will just give us modders something else to fix)
short hornet
Put the entire animal in refiner
rough copper
It's most likely that getting food will only be something that's a pain early on, like all the other bars in the game
While we're complaining about extra bars, why not complain about how lame and simple the current bars the game has? lol
rough copper
I guess that's why they made creative mode
Because all they've been doing is adding more micromanagement to the game with each update.
native dragon
O2, heat, tox, stamina, jets have all been there since the beginning.
rough copper
Yes but those are not the only parts of the game that have micromanagement. Just one example of more that they added later is having to repair damaged machinery, and frigates.
and all of the hazards might as well be one monohazard, they all act the same
at least they made the life support sort of dynamic, because it shares energy with the shield, jetpack, and can be used to extend oxygen underwater
last moon
I would like the bars being low to add a mechanic. Like if you are hot you might get disoriented. Like movement/look directions start to not work as good. There could be different mechanics for different bars etc.
rough copper
Yeah and things like flying through a heavy electrical storm fucking with your scanner, etc
native dragon
i just want them to add sitting in chairs and laying in beds
hybrid pendant
shouldnt be hard
native dragon
even if they use that weird teleport animation which is used for getting into ships

Beds and chairs yes. So many, yet I can only look and want.
Speaking of electrical storm, I wish they would add lightning. It would be easy with the engine.

It is difficult. No one has figured out how to get past using old firmware and burning a disc for it. You would have to get your mods via US mail and downgrade your PS4 to use it.
Until then, Sony would have to incorporate it. NOPE

Mordite is the dead creature one... Do you mean coprite?

They should make it emit the toxic gas like those things in caves.
That way it could be weaponized.
rough copper
coprite cannon multitool addon
Then when you try to use it on animals that have coprite listed as their diet, it actually heals them

toxic gasses are cool

That depends on which temperature they are in a gaseous state

there's also no active geology

Cloud states have zero connection with storm status

to be fair clouds move at amazing speeds
for that to work they'd have to slow those things down

and the shadows even faster

Would be cool if they could get it so when you're flying in the atmosphere, it isn't just a uniform field of clouds.. .but some areas more cloudy than others

it'd be cool if the "flames" on re-entry would appear in 3rd person

ginput is when i decide to drink gin
rough copper
they did a horrible job porting the game to pc, so people have been modding it to feel more like the PS2 version ever since 2004
and fixing bugs, etc. Somebody even added in a ragdoll death feature
native dragon
i ran into a bug in nms last night (big surprise)
oh, yeah i remember
i went to the teleporter and chose a destination. then the frigate mission menu popped up
rough copper
woah lol
native dragon
i wasn't able to select any of them
other day had a beneficial bug where i fixed one frigate, and magically all of the frigates were fixed
native dragon
how's that work out?
rough copper
I think they just have a slightly lower score each time they're damaged
it removes those bonuses
I kind of just stopped caring about frigates lol
I hope we can send frigates to help out with faction wars in a future update
native dragon
i have some frigates that have hinderances. i need to figure out how to get them blowed up
rough copper
if they level up those get removed
native dragon
oh? okay then i won't get them killed
i wish we could buy other size/class ships for our fleet
or even multiple freighters
but still
sitting in chairs and laying in beds, that's what i really and truly want.

can you share materials?

yes

can you trade ships?

that's disappointing
timid mist
Think of them like an NPC that moves essentially
You can do all the same things except for take missions
From them
native dragon
how do you share materials?
rough copper
the same way you would transfer an item to another inventory, highlight, press button
native dragon
you can open another player's inventory?
or do the materials need to be put into like a box or w/e?
rough copper
no.
You find the item you want to send to the other player. You highlight it with your cursor. Press triangle, or y on xbox controller. select the players name. press confirm button. item is sent to other player.
native dragon
oh okay
rough copper
if you have too many exocraft, the players name might not appear in the list. HG needs to fix that.
native dragon
why do storage chambers on freighters suck?
sometimes if the light is right i'm able to transfer things to those while on my freighter, but not always.
but can't remotely access
rough copper
Yeah they could use some QOL love
I hate sending something to containers, because it doesn't automatically stack with existing items, it sometimes takes up a whole other slot when there is already some in another container
native dragon
i could be wrong, but i don't think it has massive stacking slots anyway. i think it's the same amounts as an exosuit
rough copper
No storage containers hold more
native dragon
like cargo slots?

I hope we could get some sort of mini missions aboard our frigates. Like there are doors on them that don't open so they could have additional rooms and npc's inside.
I got the idea from reading "thief onboard" on one of my frigates. Just got a thought that what if there was a mission to locate the thief on your frigate and all other types of missions like that

does it matter which questline i play / complete first?
can i play the Atlas path first then continue where i left off for the Artemis path?
or once I complete one path, i am unable to complete the other unless I restart?
and erm... i kinda lost the grave marker for Artemis. any way to locate it again?
proud gale
I completed Atlas Path after Artemis, but you can also do it the other way around. The only problem: Atlas path kind of restarts after end of Artemis questline. Also, the're fairly similar in terms of lore and mission type, but Artemis is definitely done better.
@willow parrot
willow parrot
@proud gale ok thanks. because i saw that Atlas requirements maybe easier than Artemis (milestone wise). so was thinking should i complete the Atlas path first since I am mid-way through Artemis' line
proud gale
Dunno. Artemis took me a long time to complete, but it was very interesting
and didn't ask for much crafting- the only serious grind were "Mind Arc", but I managed to get all glyphs early and just traveled to a base, and got everything I needed for it(a lot, a lot) under a minute
Atlas path requires continous crafting- material A to B, B to C, C to D and so on...
