One thing I was considering is why sentinels attack players. It's addressed under "They want world preservation" or something by a Vy'keen character iirc, but I was thinking about it more in-depth.
Well no, the more I think of my argument the more it falls apart.
I was going to say "Only the player is able to destroy things so freely so it's an easy way to detect anomalies"
But it's likely the case that other entities mined + created stuff given what's said in the game so that doesn't work.

if they add food to survival that will be amazing <3
a reason to start a farm and collect new food

I hope they add more planets that have literally zero life or fauna
A tier system would be great, terraform tier 1 2 3 etc, pure hostile planets, or planets that you wouldnt need life support at all on
Having pretty much every planet have a dense atmosphere kinda immersion
frozen thistle
I really want food to be a thing tbh lol and have like really small bonus stats that you can make crazy meals out of
bleak gorge
I feel like food would be nice if it wasn't necessary for your survival. Like, instead of eating to stay alive and having a hunger bar (because we already have life support and what not) it would be cool if you could cook something, eat it, and it would give you an effect, like eat a certain cooked meal from under the sea and you can breathe underwater better. That way the "food" playstyle could be optional for players who don't really want food (me)
frozen thistle
Yes exactly. And maybe make it sellable to other players. An economy would be cool.
For mining, crafting, hell maybe even exploring. Pay someone to go scan new things and you get a big cut and passively make money that way.

I might just go for it; I've never gone to a new galaxy once even though I've played since launch (switched platforms though), and it can work in terms of roleplay - "new beginnings", "leaving the past behind", etc

If you switch galaxies you lose bases, if you stay you don't

so do atlas path first? then centre of the whatever?
icy citrus
However you want
mossy quartz
well as long as i get my 2 suit upgrades and my base blueprints and quests done, i see no reason not to reset it
so ill keep all my upgrades, ships and my freighter, just my planets will reset?

No planets reset - even if you stay in the same galaxy. If you choose to leave your current galaxy you lose access to your bases, but nothing else
You always keep all upgrades, ships , freighter, frigates and all storage inventory
And multitool

ok, what about the space anomoly, can i even "finish" that one.
icy citrus
It will always be in your main, or will return shortly if it vanishes
You can do all the milestone missions, but it won't ever leave you alone
Atlas path will stick around as well
mossy quartz
atlas path will stick around after i beat it or after i reset?
icy citrus
Always
If it goes, it will come back
Once you receive the upgrade you referenced, it is finished
But you can repeat the end part again and again if you wanted to

uncut harness
I think you're looking at it differently than me
the remembrance lore, the logs that state the ATLAS is dying and quaking all the simulations to a pulp, are from a simulation far above Mercury (No Man's Sky) and our world (WG-verse, in a sense). I came to this conclusion when I realized the travellers being injected into the mercury simulation would be a plot-hole otherwise when you take into account that there's no black hole in our reality right now ripping apart our systems for anyone to come in the midst of it and scan themselves in as "Travellers." this means this happens in a sim above ours since travellers currently exist in No Man's Sky already and are the vessel we play in the first place
so that means the ATLAS dying in the remembrance lore is significant to the host sim that hosts all other realities, and the fact that we plugged people into the NMS sim further assimilates the idea that the WT-verse is still dying in a more abstract sense and being rampant with the idea that they're all part of an autonomous set of sims (cue NMS plotline). also, the atlas and loop16 are separate instances, with the atlas powering loop16 but not actually being loop16
that's why it speaks as though it is in an engine in the 1.3 story, not like loop16
so the atlas is still very much alive in the WT-verse, just not the personality A.I. Emily Warren anymore. so it's not "dead," really
dying, maybe
(at some point)
sorry I wrote a lot, was trying to remember a lot of this myself and had to get into detail so I could remember exactly why I had these thoughts to begin with
oh wait, I did find it. "The walls between worlds fall, each simulation collapsing into the other," from 16/16 of the Remembrance lore. so perhaps 16/16 in the WTverse is 2311T/The Dreamers being stuck forever in a sim below theirs. that means the sims did clash
wet scarab
I think it's important to distinguish between theories and what we know is true. We don't know whether Loop16 is in a simulation above ATLAS or vise-versa. The Atlas engine doesn't really mean much, as the name of the foundation could be reason enough. Theories are fine, but wording it in such a definitive manner could close the gates to further theorizing, and create misinformation and confusion moving forward with further story developments. The foundation is all that really needs to be conveyed if you ask me. Theory posts should be kept separate, and thinking out loud should be regulated to private discussions for clarity's sake imho. 🤷
uncut harness
Do I need to say it’s not definitive for people to know that though?
Seems like an innate characteristic of theories in the first place. I speak definitively because it definitely is in a sense definitive to me but other people can easily attest to their own beliefs
Also I’m not trying to tell people they should look at it in my way definitively, just that I have a different perception of it. That’s why I began it with, “I think you’re looking at it differently than me.” I was trying to say that I could explain what they questioned in my own theory (which honestly for the most part I usually do say, ‘But that’s just my interpretation.’ I just forgot to do it as much this time because it’s 3 a.m. where I am rn)

@ancient sand You get Blueprints from Manufacturing Facilities/Operation Centres... you find them by landing on a planet, I use an outpost/minor settlement (just in case the sentinels are not nice, makes it easier) deploy Signal Booster, use Nav Data and search Secure Frequencies and you will find a few things but all your interested in are Manfuacturing facilities and operation centres... when you find one, tag it, fly to it and identify where the door is and it's easier to shoot the door from your ship when the sentinel timer runs out land enter building and solve puzzle... you get amongst other things Blueprints. There are facilities on most planets.... most I've found is 3 on a single planet if when searching it finds something on another planet then the one you're on has no more...

you know, upon second thought the "mysterious figure" at the end of remembrance may be something related to simulations beyond the atlas. some god figure or something from a whole different paradox of simulations leaking into the sim that makes the atlas
stark notch
You, perhaps? Not you, the traveller avatar that you are using, but a representation of the player?
uncut harness
not sure how that would work but I honestly have no idea and don't even know where to start with it. could be, though. literally anything's possible
I do think it's funny the atlas was one of the last things on earth though. in greek legend, the atlas was condemned to hold up the skies of the earth (or the earth, heavens, etc.) and the NMS depiction does about the same thing-- atlas is left on earth to uphold it as the black hole begins to rip apart the world and it holds not only the earth but the weight of the worlds it creates itself
stark notch
Have...we considered that the last part of the Beyond might be a quite literal interpretation?
It only just occurred to me that they may be treating the Waking Titan lore like game lore. The life of the ARG imitating the life of the game within the ARG.
What if the black hole you spoke of isn't ripping it apart...and it's merely moving it to another place, or even another time, in the same way that black holes in the simulation itself operates?
What if the driving purpose of the simulations wasn't to predict the future; it was to try to chart a path into...the beyond?
A whole lot of "what if"s, but hey, it's a fun headcannon.
uncut harness
well I certainly did not think of that
and I actually quite dig that idea. the blackhole moving the birthworld of the atlas (and thus the atlas itself) into an entirely different path away from where it originally was would be a great way to symbolize the game's changes and push the story into something we didn't really see coming. that's actually a really nice vision
stark notch
And it's probably totally wrong, considering I know virtually nothing of the Waking Titan lore, or even NMS lore. XD I just think it's a fun idea. Why would the birthworld of the Atlas need to travel anywhere? What would the point of it be, other than a symbolic rebirth of the story? How exactly would an entire planet travel through a black hole (or even a wormhole) and remain intact? I've not the foggiest.
uncut harness
also not sure how the figure ties into the black hole actually just moving the earth thing but I think that was still a fascinating concept
we're definitely at or after the canonical point in which we begin to see other travellers and bask in the fall of the multiverse's walls separating each player. that would mean the "Ten Minutes Left" mark and somewhere before or extremely close to the black hole beginning to murder the ATLAS
which itself is at the five minutes left mark
stark notch
Oh, that was a separate thing entirely. XD
I was just going off of your whole "black hole" thing. That was the spark I got from that.
As for the figure you're speaking of, assuming the headcannon I presented, what's to prevent that being whatever creatures on the other side of the black hole, interacting with the Atlas on the earth-that-was, and discovering the simulations for themselves?
After all, assuming that the universe that the WT earth is based in is similar to ours, then you also assume that there's the same propensity for life as there is in our universe. In the right conditions, you'd have life, even intelligent life, and possibly even advanced lifeforms. Taking that the earth-that-was would have traveled through the black hole at this point and come into contact with these beings, and they would have investigated (as any intelligent species would, when an entire planet appears seemingly from nowhere)...
TL/DR: Creatures are the WT-variant of travellers, but outside of the Atlas, investigating the Atlas itself.
uncut harness
maybe. very interesting stuff
stark notch
Aye. Totally bonkers, but in an infinite multiverse, anything's a possibility.
uncut harness
the atlas rises in prevalence with the 1.3 storyline, then it begins its continuation of death in its NEXT phase of life where the walls come crashing down, and after a blackhole inadvertently transports the machine to a different point of reality it goes beyond. fun
stark notch
Aye. I mean, it's probably a really loose thought, but:
NMS / Waking Titan = Simulations begin beta testing capabilities of Atlas.
Atlas Rises = Plans for survival; simulations are given objectives to attempt to find a survivable path.
Pathfinder = Permadeath to simulations; increased determination of the right path, as simulations are encouraged to make the right choices to try to force desired outcomes.
NEXT = Simulations interacting and working in tandem to repeat desired outcomes as paths are further charted.
Beyond = Data from simulations is given real-world applications in determining optimal path through the black hole.
But that's just a theory.
A GAME THEORY.
uncut harness
THANKS FOR WATCHING
stark notch
Mind, this would also encourage a belief that data gathered from people playing Permadeath mode is given greater weight than people playing in Normal or Survival modes, as the people who will have made it to the center of one or multiple galaxies will have done so with the constant threat that all of their progress would have been wiped if they had made an error in the process.
I mean, why else would they have given a permadeath mode to a mostly relaxation-based grind game?
"To make it more challenging." But...why? What's the purpose? And why would they then allow players who are playing on Normal or Survival the ability to join players who are playing Permadeath?

okay so atlas is loop16
is there supposd to be versions of the ai before atlas, like a loop1 to loop14
i mean loop15
uncut harness
Personally, I wouldn’t exactly call loop16 atlas
But there is a loop15. It was briefly mentioned in the first season of Waking Titan
It didn’t achieve the best results so they invented another iteration of the Loop artificial intelligence

Loop 16 is Emily, isn't it?

Yep. Emily Warren is a personality it adapted to and used to communicate with us

That should explain it decently enough, there is also a link within there describing the methods to switch

It says
"possibly a single space station"
Are there systems with multiple space stations or none?
Why possibly a single space station?
stark notch
There are systems which have a normal space station, an abandoned space station, or neither.
stark notch
Like normal space stations, but broken in parts on the exterior (cracking paneling, like it has been shot at with rockets).

They can't have both

over 100 hours and never came across one I believe

The interior of these resemble the space stations pre-NEXT.

stark notch
You'll definitely recognize them when you find one. There are no people on these stations, there is a teleporter and a terminal, but past that, nothing else unless you have an AtlasCard v3.
icy citrus
You can find them, if you want. Install both scanner upgrades in your ship (conflict&economy) then look for systems with a dominant lifeform but no conflict details

have you tried going into space to chat to Apollo?

Well while I was doing the atlas path, making the seeds, I was also working towards the purge getting the Glyphs... so by the time I birthed the star I was ready to complete the purge and complete that quest...
This is what I see now...
eager coyote
Mine tells me to find another atlas interface
stark notch
You don't really need to make seeds for Atlas and birth stars after you've birthed the first star and your galaxy map is updated with locations of systems with black holes.
That's pretty much the soft "end" of the Atlas path questline.

why this launch countdown?

Because it's what I expect the date of Beyond will be.

I dunno about that. You would think even HG would announce a drop date more than 5 days in advance
Ofc I'm just guessing like anyone else when I say that
stark notch
That's why I'm guessing it'll be August 12th at midnight. Plenty of time for an announcement, hype, and release.
stark notch
Yeah. XD

My dumbass brain saw August and didnt even realize that its months away lol

Haha! No worries, mate. It happens.

TBH i think August might be too far out
Do you think they will still my sweet grass mod and fix grass for consoles too?
That would be nice

Aye, it would.
tulip tangle
Well, Maybe If I turn it into a sore spot using reddit 😄
look at these beautiful grassy hilllllssss that only PC players could ever dream of having!
stark notch
Maybe we'll get another, last Vision patch for things like grass texture changes before they actually announce a date for Beyond.
tulip tangle
I doubt it, seems like 100% of changes right now are being rolled into Beyond, just like they did in past big drops
stark notch
That leaves, what? May for the Vision / Grass patch, June for the announcement of the last part of Beyond, July for a drop date, and then the rest of July and half of August to build up the hype train?
tulip tangle
I won't lie, over the summer I hope to make a mod that looks so amazing it will force HG to step up their aesthetics game

@bleak lotus did you get the Remembrence item for your suit?
@bleak lotus No idea if this is correct, it's from the Wiki.... "At the end of The Purge (the final mission of the Artemis Path), the player is asked to either stay in the current galaxy, or be transferred to another galaxy. If the player chooses to change galaxies, they get to choose the type of their next galaxy. This style of galaxy transfer can only occur at most once per save. "
so if you want to change now, you'll have to start again....

why would you want to go to another galaxy, euclid has the most people playing on it
shrewd anvil
Ok so i need to know
I just got ti the purge mission and theres the choice to reset the atlas
If i do that does everything for me get reset like my inv. Ships. Frighter. Base ect?
icy citrus
No, if you switch galaxies you lose your bases, but your inventory, ships freighter and frigates will be with you - storage units are protected as well
shrewd anvil
ok so if i choose to restart the atlas thats changes glaxey?
stark notch
Yes, if you restart the simulation, you'll be given a choice of what galaxy type you'd prefer, and that will influence how the next galaxy is.
peak oak
So is the atlas just permanently glitched/broken
and if so who in the simulation (the world of no mans sky is a simulation iirc) would/could fix it
Or would it just be someone outside of it
tulip tangle
As I understood it, Atlas is an internal representation of the simulating computer, so nothing within the simulation could ever hope to fix it
also, Artemis is already dead.
jovial stag
I bet Richard Dean Anderson could fix it.... 😉
peak oak
Now i'm just wondering what the "real world" looks like within no mans sky
tulip tangle
Something like this:
opal kite
when a simulation so perfectly predicts events, at what point do they cease being separate. At the end of it's life Atlas' creator comes back. but is that in the simulation, reality, both? is there a difference?
the Atlas is the final product of research into making simulations that can be used to predict the future.
Atlas is dying, we know that, but what if restarting the simulation restarts the universe. that would seem to imply a toroidal existence. the Atlas was created in a universe that is the simulation it is running.
So what does the "real world" look like in the game? it looks like the game, it is the game. the simulation and the universe it is running in are one and the same.
tulip tangle
NMS is the reality. We are the simulation
jovial stag
Perhaps we're on the 13th Floor 😉
uncut harness
Woah, who made the edit? Looks cool!
frozen nest
So when you go to the Atlas and birth a new star, does that actually create a new system somewhere in the galaxy?
icy citrus
Sadly no, the blackhole it directs you to should lead to an undiscovered system though - (so play along)
frozen nest
Ah OK gotcha
Man that would be insane if it actually created a brand new star system
icy citrus
There would be quite a few in Euclid then - maybe a million new ones? Lol
frozen nest
I mean realistically I doubt that many people reach the end of the Atlas questline and get to a point where they can go to the Atlas station and birth a new star tho
Hell, I've put in like 300 hours and only just now finished the major questlines
frozen nest
I mean even so, if the "18 quintillion planets" thing that was in all the marketing is true (and let's say each star system has 5 planets, which is a high estimate), a million extra systems would just be a drop in the bucket
It would be amazing if it actually allowed you to create a system by hand, i.e. planet types/quantity, economy level, conflict level, etc etc

You have the option not to switch galaxies at the end of that quest.
You just say "Nah fam, maybe later."
Then you just go to the center, which is pretty easy by just typing "0" over and over again into a portal.
My suggestion to easing the galactic transition is going to a system with REALLY good economy, farming up a sh*t ton of credits, and just visit every freighter you can until you find one that is either S-Class with a good amount of slots or something so good you'll probably not find something better without actively searching. Then you make your base inside that freighter, so that it all comes with you to the next galaxy. Trust me, it may cost a ton of silver and tritium but it's absolutely worth it to make a huge freighter base.

The birth of a star from the Atlas path does not send you to a new galaxy. The main storyline ultimately gives you that choice. You keep your ships & items, you don't keep access to your old bases.

@sharp topaz going to the centre is a choice and like all choices it has consequences.... and some people just like to explore... on the xbox, which I've not played on for a while now, I'm in the 4th Galaxy... and once again heading towards the centre and exploring bits and bobs along the way.... not making many land bases now though... 😉 And on the PC I have a save, in Survival, that I have yet to make that choice... just not sure if I want to go through all the Galaxies in Survival... surviving one was bad enough.

here what I want to ask
what atlas path grants? what's the reward or smth
should I be against the atlas or not
icy citrus
It rewards the Star Seed blueprint
Health boost +1
And the vague lore that goes with the atlas interactions
The other path, Artemis - doesn't actually require you to reach the center
Well, 1 life symbol, however much that is
Combined with the reward from the other path, it's plus 3
If they are linked in your inventory
near plinth
are you about those 10 spheres?

Those lead to the end of the Atlas path
Each one is an ingredient for the next
You have two story paths you can follow, either concurrently, or separately
The atlas path is one, the Artemis path is the other

west wadi
So when you get so far you reset everything? 😐
icy citrus
You have a choice to do that or not - it won't reset your assets - you will keep ships, freighter frigates units etc
Only if you switch galaxies will you lose access to bases
Storage units are protected always - whatever is in there will be in there regardless of what you choose
west wadi
I reset 😂 And it vaulted me back 720,000LY from the center 🤦

the fact it's all a simulation is equal parts BS but also cool cause you can change it
can you freely swap back to other the other galaxy?

No
You can join someone there, but not move back
There is heavy speculation we will get galactic travel with Beyond - but it is just speculation- nothing HG has said has hinted at it

That's a good question. I've never seen a definitive answer to it.

I read on a forum I think it was about a person who tried to "delete" an old base, I think he just removed everything in it, and then he later found it again with someone else having claimed it.
Not sure if that could happen with your old bases when leaving a galaxy
Wow... a whole system that is abandoned? I found the space station and it was abandoned, but when I look at the system itself it says Gek (Abandoned) as its dominant lifeform

You keep your stuff, and ships (though main will need repairs). You lose your planetary bases.

I have been wondering about jumping to new galaxies as well... what is the point of them? Just to do it? The exploration? Is there some other goal, like... reach the center of the Universe?

Well, you can choose a galaxy with a bit different makeup - more peaceful, more hazardous, or more exotic.
I never bothered though. I like the balance of the starting galaxy, and that's where most people are so I figured I'd rather refuse the Atlas and just stay.
Well, technically I did do it once for the achievements, but then rolled back the save and stayed.
