That's interesting about the stations... I wonder if there's a new type.

Oooh, artifact Hunting Shovels for 700k sell value 🙂
real sapphire
just asking, is it possible to link solar panel directly to teleporter or other equipments that requires power grid?
violet narwhal
Maybe, but then they'd only work during the day 
jovial stag
@real sapphire best thing to use are those electromagnetic power thingies... only problem is finding a location to put one.... and to add to what @violet narwhal said.. you can add batteries and a proximity switch to only power it when someone is close but I've not tried it yet... got side tracked.
viral yarrow
Not unless you have batteries
violet narwhal
I wonder if those switches use power themselves...
viral yarrow
No they dont
violet narwhal
Ah, then that should sort a lot of the problems people have been having with overloaded power.
viral yarrow
They just work as interjections for wires.
Main function is that it stops electricity from flowing through. So if you want to conserve energy and use it on your mining module and not your farming module you can pull a switch and shut the farming module off
viral yarrow
There needs to be more generators though.
Probably, Nexus holds a lot of the industrial power shit
Sadly it’s locked away behind a shit ton of bugs
jovial stag
@real sapphire yeah you unlock them there but you also need to survey scanner thing for the tool and then find a suitable site etc...
small pier
So no one here, I don't think has posted very obvious new variations of ships in Beyond but I'll post what I've just found. a Shuttle with Hauler wings - I've been playing NMS since release and never saw this in my 1k+hrs of playing https://imgur.com/a/DRqVlGF it is feasible that I just never saw this but I think they did update the variations ships can do
jovial stag
@real sapphire In the Nexus go to the folk in the rear and you want the middle panel on the left as you walk in and you then get this...
real sapphire
Ooo i think i came across this while walking around anomaly
jovial stag
and the one on the right that does Tools can get you the upgrade bottom right
real sapphire
But the floor plan for the new anomaly is confusing, so i may need a bit of time to know exactly where each station is
Thanks, anw i gotta sleep
Good night
uncut harness
Pretty much now you can't choose your base spot, you always need to build it close to a power source..not a fan tbh
uncut harness
so with the new base mechanics, it's quite convoluted is what you're saying?
peak prairie
Solar panels plus batteries should be reliable if you build enough
With the large rooms powering things inside them without wires, does that include batteries?
echo musk
i enter the anomaly, expectant, waiting... as i land, and get out of my ship... i see no-one but the inhabitants of the bubble... I am hugely disappointed...
uncut harness
@uncut harness it's not only that, to get a reliable power source you need to find a specific point in the map where you can harsen power from the ground which limits your choices a lot
unless you wanna build like 50 solar panels and 30 batteries to avoid blackouts at night
harsh lintel
Do i really have to build a base or should there be a space station?
tepid iris
just got home
do we know what the "another" one is?
guessing it's this one?
Twitter
nothing in #nms-announcements for that one tho
mighty rampart
btw supply depots also act as batteries
tepid iris
supply depots? the ones sentinels guard?
mighty rampart
yep and they have a pretty decent storage capacity but it can only be for one thing at a time
tepid iris
how do you get the tree UI in the facilities on planet?
I raided it and got the new warp cell
just like pre-NEXT answering the question
but I didn't the tree thing like on the nexus
mighty rampart
oh I havent raided any facility yet
mighty rampart
ok so its possible to make a pulse tick using the inverter but uh not much to do with that besides blinking lights and noise
at least I figured out how to use the proximity sensor with the prefab door
tepid iris
do you need to straight connect to batteries
or can there be more stepts between solar panels & batteries?
mighty rampart
you can add as many steps as you want
to make the wiring look cleaner and flat with the surface
distance doesnt seem to matter too, speaking of which wow they made base sizes humongous
not the build limit but the build distance
serene holly
I like that
mighty rampart
was able to get a power hotspot and a gas hotspot without making another computer
serene holly
Plus I'm going to have multiple overlapping bases to create a mega area

at least complain about legit things, like the distinct lack of new hats for gek
plush stag
I wouldn't say no to some additional tech slots
mighty rampart
@zinc gate actually I do feel like we need some additional multi tool slots now, I dont even that that many different kinds of weapons installed but I have run out of space thanks to the new blueprint upgrades
zinc gate
@mighty rampart true. I was speaking more to cargo slots, but yeah. Multitool slots would be nice haha
mighty rampart
Eh we have more than enough general and cargo slots now comsidering the stack size
worn hinge
@mighty rampart i still have a lingering issue that like....70% of the ship designs in the game are wasted, since everyone wants into the t3 ones. Lots of great designs that we only use as a stepping stone
mighty rampart
I'm still running out of storage from all the damn cooking
@worn hinge it doesn't matter to me I use whatever ship I find cool looking
My current one is a B class explorer with 25 slots and looks like a tacky boombox
mighty rampart
No
worn hinge
@mighty rampart well, it still stands. a lot of ship designs are wasted with lower stats.
mighty rampart
Yeah that's true but it's not much of an annoyance personally
stoic mango

May someone please answer on how to tame animals and ride them? I've searched the question and literally everyone gets ignored when they asked and it is not answered. 😛
tepid iris
oh damn
I have it on everything

pfew reloading fixed it
brb reporting to be sure
stoic mango
@analog schooner you have to make the right type of advanced bait
icy citrus
Scan the animal and it tells you what kind you need ^
stoic mango
nutrient processor
analog schooner
Advance bait is made in the future grill?
icy citrus
Aye
analog schooner
Hmm.. TY
icy citrus
And I'm now calling it that forever
mighty rampart
@analog schooner scan the animal and whatever the yellow name says is the kind of bait you need
Unlock the nutrient processor blueprint inside the anomaly, build it and then experiment with the new foods
icy citrus
What does the scan say?
mighty rampart
Also there's probably no guide rn so it's better to ask here
icy citrus
The catalogue tells you how to do it
analog schooner
Gotcha! TY!
icy citrus
Faecium + something for bait, then faecium + bait for more advanced

I can't remember, I thought I would ask for when I got back on. I found these cute fells I wanted to ride around.

i wish i had used the old portal to a friend in the center, when it was still viable
tepid iris
I think the freighter power thing
is just visual guys
all "out of charge"
but they've grown anyways
so i guess everything on the freighter is charged for free
worn hinge
they still grow, just slower @tepid iris
tepid iris
but visually it thinks has no power
ah
so it's not a visual bug 😛
now how do you get power on the freighter
worn hinge
idk im just giving info from next. idk if something changed in beyond
tepid iris
yay can getto my storage containers again
although
they've become super small lol
the UI
alright
this is also just visually
can't fall through 😛
and reported
stuck loom
Glad to see scanner modules are still a top tier money making method.
tepid iris
so cleared up my storage containers now I can access them again
all of them except 2 are now obsolete lol
coz the 10k stacks
k reported carbon planters, save point and storage container bugs
now reporting the power issue in freighters
and Atlas Barrels reported 😛
the trade terminal in my freighter vanished post-beyond lol, just realised
OH
lmao I've found it
trade terminals now glitch in the floor in freighters 😛
their build spot for new ones is also only on that spot
so
the trade terminal doesn't require any power @worn hinge
while it does on actual bases
so i'm saying freighter don't need power, and the containers are visual glitched 🙂
slender pumice
worn hinge
Found a purple grass planet...so close to perfect, but it has dirty orange water :'(
uncut harness
People seriously finding out that freighters are fucked NOW?
I've been blabbering about that for hours and nobody gave a shit.
Also why are freighters not powered.
How is the shop thingy powered, when farms and customization thingy aren't.
tepid iris
well I found it out on release as well
but getting a deeper look on it
also made time to report it all now
well @uncut harness as far I could see, the power thing for farms is a visual glitch
it seems farms don't require power, but visually they say they're depleted
bu my farm just grows there 🙂
my trade terminal also works without power.. very interesting
uncut harness
Dunno about mine, mine was growing before, and like 2 pearls grew, but everything else just died in return. 😄
btw it's confirmed, right? They don't run on coal anymore?
uncut harness
I tried to find the power access on em, but couldn't find shit.
tepid iris
the ones on my bases require wires or power
all my bases are offline 😛
no power lul
but yeah, the ones on the freighter just show that they're depleted
but if you visor look at the plants they're growing
Carbon planters however are fucked and dont grow atm 😛
uncut harness
So they run on "carbon" still?
Why I can't access their window then? Like, at all.
tepid iris
they use the global power system
uncut harness
Also how are some planters on carbon and some aren't?
tepid iris
instead of each their own thing
they're all on power system
freighter has unlimited power it seems
only some items don't realise it
like the containers
but they do work
uncut harness
And what. You just plop em on the ground, and they SHOULD zucc the power from a freighter?
No cabling required?
uncut harness
Well I'm glad they really thought that through, and freighters aren't a broken mess then.
uncut harness
Albeit VERY.
and you couldn't access them before, some invisible fucking wall wouldn't let you.
Wish those on the ground weren't requiring power tho.
Btw, how does a cable work?
I tried to plan out my cabling before I get the solar generators, but the game wouldn't let me.
Says I can plop one cable, and after connecting 2 lockers, it would talk shit about build limit reached.
tepid iris
didn't figure that out yet
uncut harness
btw, wanna help me figure out my build? 😄
I need to fit the new laser and scanner upgrades somewhere.
I'm thinking about removing the C upgrade for my boltcaster, and moving the S one to the right, and maybe removing one from the grenades, and move the terraformer?
uncut harness
It can pretty much one shot a doggo too, but yeah, I tend to blow myself up with it aswell. 😄
Optical drill even worth it?
tepid iris
+50% resources
uncut harness
Does it significantly improve the yelds?
tepid iris
so I'd say yes
uncut harness
Huh, that does sound good, yeah.
btw does mining laser mine more by default?
I tried to get my exocraft for a roll, cut down a forest since I needed some carbon
and I was getting like 39 carbon per tree, and dealing like 88 damage per tick.
Meanwhile handheld laser dealt sure, 77 per tick, but yielded like almost 60 per tree.
and that's pre optical drill.
tepid iris
pre-beyond I did 100-150 damage
per tick from close up
do note that you deal less from far tho
uncut harness
So they just got nerfed to shit for no apparent reason.
naah if I was any closer, i'd just run em over.

Combat Scope? If you have a spare slot, I guess. It's a very small zoom

sooo my refurbished VR headset was a scam....it was heavily used
had a 2 huge scratches on the middle of the left lens and ....
the cable was bend in such a way that had i plugged it in to my PC I would have shorted my USB
I had to send it back
no VR for me...until I can find a reasonably priced one 😦

@near schooner well, if they let you send it back it wasn't much of a scam. <3 still...that sucks.

Yeah that sucks

Are you sure you are powering the doors?
near schooner
false advertising then....it was listed as manufacturer refurbished and it had makeup in the nose piece and dandruff on next to the lenses
OH WAIT
you have to power the doors?

Since they are auto doors I'd imagine so

one solar panel produces 50K
so while it lasted to charge my door

When you reach the center of the galaxy is it random where you end up or can you choose what type of Galaxy you want?
violet narwhal
Neither, you go to the next galaxy.
timber sinew
I thought you get to choose now?
uncut harness
@tepid iris you need switches to doors - thats at least my current assumption. Turn power off = open. Turn power On = close
@tepid iris plus build some batteries for night if you are going with solar...
violet narwhal
You get a choice at the end of the Artemis path, which doesn't involve going to the centre.
wispy flint
I'm just trying to get a Tranquil Galaxy.
But the Artemis path seems like it will take... awhile.
violet narwhal
Much quicker than going to the centre of 9 galaxies..
wispy flint
9 galaxies?
violet narwhal
The first lush galaxy is Eissentam, which is galaxy 10.
wispy flint
I'm not sure what galaxy I'm in. It's a red one.
violet narwhal
You'll be in Euclid, the first galaxy.
Probably easier to just find whatever you're wanting there... Lush galaxy has twice the chance of lush planets, but there are still plenty in Euclid.
wispy flint
Yeah I can't be in Euclid.
Lush planets are super rare.
Most systems have barren and dead planets.
violet narwhal
Are you looking in yellow stars?
wispy flint
Yes
And if I do manage to find a planet with life it's always the same red grass/tree planet. I'm not sure the last I saw a green planet.
cloud epoch
are base npcs still a thing? i've gone to nexus and looks like those guys replace them?
wispy flint
When on the galaxy map is there a way to tell what galaxy I'm in?
violet narwhal
It seems people are able to go back to galaxies they've been to before, so people could (if multiplayer was working properly) go back to Euclid and possibly bring people to other galaxies using the nexus...
uncut harness
You do get to choose the galaxy you go to tho
I’m so confused
The nexus thing I understand, I had the same question
But you can choose what galaxy to go to when you finish one of the missions
wispy flint
I'm a bit confused now that I'm looking around the galaxy maps. Some regions actually change to green. Are galaxies made up of multiple types? Is there a "tranquil" region? Is that the same as a "tranquil galaxy"
violet narwhal
Not as far as anyone knows. It just changes colour.
And you do choose which galaxy you go to if you do the mission way. But not if you do the centre-of-galaxy way.
uncut harness
Yeah
wispy flint
I mean... I guess I will just have to do the Artemis questline. The only other choice would be to find someone whose playing on PS4 and is in a Tranquil galaxy and teleport to them, right?
uncut harness
I didn’t do it the mission way
I’m still in euclid but I’m a jump away from centre
I’ve stuck here for a while
violet narwhal
As I just said, it may be easier now with the relaxed travel between galaxies.
uncut harness
I’m not quite done here yet
Can you choose to go to 255 after the new beginnings mission or no?
wispy flint
Is there somewhere I could go to find a player in that type of galaxy? Just the main channel?
violet narwhal
#ps4 maybe
But at the moment people are having so many problems, it may be better to just wait a bit.
Go to #roles to get platform roles.
wispy flint
I shall try that. Thanks!
cloud epoch
so base npcs on a fresh save? anyone know?
violet narwhal
Do the tutorial quests until you get to that point, see what happens?
cloud epoch
i've done the basic base building quest to the point where i get sent to the nexus, and i've talked to artemis and gotten the triangulation quest
violet narwhal
And no quest for staffing the base or whatever?
cloud epoch
nope
violet narwhal
No overseer?
violet narwhal
Maybe they're gone then...
cloud epoch
just build a wood hut, build a teleporter, power it is the quest chain for base building thus far
violet narwhal
It may come later though... People were getting sidetracked into that stuff before they got warp drive, which caused all kinds of problems...
dusky depot
the overseer and the other base npc quest lines still exist
further into the artemis questline

aight
ah yeah seems like it was apollo who started base npcs in next
i might be thinking atlas rises
dusky depot
yeah i unlocked base npcs after the first time you meet apollo

@uncut harness been playing for 6 hours with only 1 crash, so its better for sure

So this is the spoiler section can anyone fill me in on something? Not asking untill I know story spoilers are ok lol
icy citrus
Yeah go for it
clear merlin
Cool, so are we living in a world that the atlas is dreaming up? Are everything we encounter things scanned in the real universe or is everything just made up and the real world is completely different
slow yacht
It’s all just a simulation. The atlas created everything in that universe
If I remember correctly
icy citrus
You are just another glitch my friend
slow yacht
^^
clear merlin
So are the sentients like the atlas version of McAfee keep us "programs" in line?
slow yacht
Yep
icy citrus
cloud epoch
wtf
icy citrus
SPOILER
clear merlin
So and this might not be answerable but is everything we do pointless and it's just random stuff in the atlas fever dream or is the atlas looking for something by running the Sim
cloud epoch
yes
slow yacht
Yes

basically past a certain point the only goals are the ones you set for yourself

this is why we cant have nice tea parties
icy citrus
It's tryin to avoid death somehow, as it has seen its ultimate end
icy citrus
clear merlin
Well thank you that does help some, last think if you start a new game is there a way to "skip the tut" part of the game like is there a way to make antimatter when you start or do you have to go through the story untill it decide to to give you the schematic
slow yacht
yep
icy citrus
Story
slow yacht
honestly I havent started a new game in ages so I cant really help
icy citrus
Always the tutorial unless in creative
clear merlin
Yeah I just bought the game and have restarted a couple of time cause I'm not sure yet if you can always recover from mistakes or not
icy citrus
Aside from any potential unfound gamebreakers, about the only thing you can do wrong is waste the antimatter or warp cell it gives you
clear merlin
I see I deleted the scanner part on my muti tool because I thought a upgrade I bought was a better version but now it does not scan lol can I get a scanner back or do I just need to buy another multitool, on another note this game can be kinda vague at times

fickle plinth
Did the hotfix roll out?
crisp fern
@clear merlin
So and this might not be answerable but is everything we do pointless and it's just random stuff in the atlas fever dream or is the atlas looking for something by running the Sim
No. The Atlas simulation is a parallel with reality, due to it being created as a predictive ontological sim, for the purposes of uncovering the nature of reality itself. It reveals that even the reality it was created in was a simulation, and thus if one were to take that to mean it's all meaningless, then that reality would also be meaningless.
However, there remains a lurking meaning yet to be uncovered, which is, just what is simulating all this, and why?
south needle
Nice! now we have 573 cooking recipes :
a little preview (beware large image (15mb aprox.)
clear merlin
@crisp fern so the world atlas was created in was a Sim?
uncut harness
Since when were launch system rechargers a thing?
Were they always there?
It’s so handy
icy citrus
Nope, new
crisp fern
@clear merlin never explicitly stated, but heavily implied by the Atlas working as intended and being capable of predicting events entirely accurately in the reality it was created in
uncut harness
So we’re in a simulation too then
sullen pulsar
the last 16 minutes of the simulation
that’s why there’s a 16 motif
the atlas is dying so it’s stretching on its sim as much as possible
And in its frantic death it slips up, creating anomalies and issues with the simulation, etc. The Travelers were modeled after the atlas’ creator, because they wished desperately to be with their creator in their last moments.
icy citrus
So, I wonder if it's figured something out - gotta lot of new travellers now
Give me more lore 😭
kind heart
uhhh so im confused as to what to do in the Anomaly in order to get base building aka power-related stuff going
cloud epoch
new save?
kind heart
nah old save
cloud epoch
ahhh, um use ur blueprint analyzer to unlock the biofuel reactor
then wires
needs dug up modules like always
kind heart
oh so I don't do anything in the anomaly
cloud epoch
u can get some higher tier stuff there i think. but to get basics going u just need the bp analyzer
uncut harness
wait so we’re in the last 16 minutes of a simulation??
Damn
I knew I should’ve went ahead with the story
kind heart
ah awesome thanks man all i want to do is power up my base so I can take out all the stuff from my containers and move bases
uncut harness
Do we find out who put us in here?

oof I meant to ask this in #nms-questions yikes
near schooner
after having to return the other VR headset cause they lied about it I remembered a friend owed me some money ... collected .... bought the Samsung HMD Odyssey+ new
whooop
crisp fern
@uncut harness sorry, what? Who put us in the sim? The Atlas sub-sim/NMS, I presume?
uncut harness
Ok so it’s just a paradox then
We’re caught in an endless loop of simulations branching into more simulations
Cool
near schooner
so the last bit can basically be infinite feeling
well it depends
if Artemis also has a IRL body or he IS part of the simulation
uncut harness
If it’s infinite then there’s a simulation where everything was the exact same
near schooner
technically every traveler in the game exist
uncut harness
Someone said they’re related to the creator of the atlas?
Or something
But still a simulation idk
What about nada and polo
since they’re in every simulation
they just keep going without knowing right
crisp fern
Oh no, part of what makes them how they are is that they're among the few that do know
They know and somehow slipped into the reality between realities
uncut harness
So the future versions of themselves discovered how to exit the simulation?
crisp fern
Not quite, they just found out there was an in-between all of the simulations
crisp fern
But what I mean is they are not outside the simulation, they haven't found a way out
crisp fern
They're still within the metasimulation that contains all the other simulations, yeah
crisp fern
yeah
crisp fern
Well, yeah, basically, but being worsened by surrounding conditions, i.e. black holes
crisp fern
They were, it's just the Atlas ceases to be able to predict what will come after it's consumed by a black hole
Because, well, the Atlas presumably ceases to be...But given what we know of how black holes function in the game, this may not be exactly the case...
uncut harness
So the actual atlas, not the stations is being sucked into a black hole
crisp fern
Yeah
crisp fern
The curious problem of the Atlas being caught in a black hole is that, to the best of our knowledge in reality, black holes tend to...Presumably, destroy things...However, in-game, black holes simply transport things to other locations so...
uncut harness
Yeah
crisp fern
Not so far as I recall/am aware, though some may dispute that
crisp fern
@uncut harness is inclined to think that we may sort of encounter the true Atlas, last I talked to them, but I'm kind of hmm about that
uncut harness
How do I explain this
Well apparently when we reach the final galaxy it just takes us back to first one
Which is really pointless
crisp fern
Tbh I'm not sure how much of that is meant to be representative of anything narratively
I think that's largely a technical constraint of some sort, or simply a gimme like, "who is even going to do this"
uncut harness
Ok but wouldn’t it be nice to get a reward
Yeah but still
I’d do it
According to google each galaxy has “3 to 4 billion regions, each of which contains 122+ star systems”
How does it work on their servers
I mean it obviously doesn’t render all of it
But it still needs to know the whereabouts of the player or something
The devs are extremely talented
crisp fern
everything only exists when you're there
they only ever need to know what you know in the moments you're knowing it
sullen pulsar
Do any of the travelers actually have genders, like, the lore-specific ones?
I feel like I remember reading somewhere that some of them did, but honestly I kind of doubt that
at least, confirmed genders?
doesn’t most text just refer to each of them as “they”?
sorry for text dump
jolly dew
sullen pulsar
Eh just read through wiki descriptions
doesn’t seem like it
Apollo was mainly the one I wanted to know about because they’re my fave ❤
A single line in the wiki says “him” but kinda doubt that’s a reputable source honestly
lol

"My ship before and after the update."

xbone has been running fine for me :/
slight lag in very specific occasions and a single crash

@sullen pulsar Apollo is Apollo and Apollo is interesting so good 'nuff
sullen pulsar
Apollo > all other NPCs smh
uncut harness
last time i saw him he said he'll race me towards the center.
crisp fern
To address your question though, there is no explicit gender attributed to any of the Travelers in-game
uncut harness
Wonder what does happen to everyone after the events of the questline.
sullen pulsar
they may be stubborn, kind of rude, and criminally obsessed with money, but.... love ‘em to my hearts content
uncut harness
apart from the "real life" origins.
Like artemis was a she, apollo was a he, stuff like that.
uncut harness
Shame, but yeah. Apollo I think reffered to artemis as they, when he said that he often made fun of "them".
crisp fern
not sure why shame but 🤷
uncut harness
cause it's lazy. but to each their own.
crisp fern
yeah, i dunno, i think just going with the usual would be lazier, but is just my take
uncut harness
it just stinks of political correctness. Instead of having balls, and developing actual characters, "everything's left to players interpretation". Popular trend as of late. Like frisk, like Ori. it's boring.
sullen pulsar
uh oh spaghetti-o
uncut harness
Ori is especially interesting, cause literally every one of "their" race has genders, and the lil ghost flying after "them" at least once reffered to "them" as male.
but creator said so, so it must be true, I guess.
crisp fern
i think it better suits this alien scifi setting personally
uncut harness
aye, having the scan of atlas' creator be genderless.
crisp fern
i mean tbh that part of the story still strikes me as dumb shit
sullen pulsar
also it’s pretty unlikely to me that aliens would have genders based upon those of an entirely separate race (humans) bruh
crisp fern
it does fuckall to explain the wide variety of travelers
uncut harness
Love that argument.
Yeah no other species on earth have genders.
nu uh.
only humans.
sullen pulsar
yes, earth matters in a subject on a universal scale
uncut harness
I think it has something to do with endless resets, doesn't it?
crisp fern
i mean even within humanity sex is complex
uncut harness
like each reset births a new traveller or some bollocks like that.
sullen pulsar
Even many fish have genders we certainly don’t have
crisp fern
It's never really clear on that, which is why I find the whole creator scan thing such nonsense
sullen pulsar
Supermale fish or Superfemale fish
or whatever the frick they’re called
earth has some wacky stuff
who’s to say space doesn’t too
if there even are any other intelligent species out there
uncut harness
who's to say there's anything at all there either.
sullen pulsar
Yup
crisp fern
Because I mean, you're right, if Atlas creator was human and that human identified a certain way, you'd think big ol' supercomputer would recognize that and try to adhere to it but for some strange reason somehow the scan gets all mixed up and now we have a big bunch of confused aliens
sullen pulsar
Fermi paradox got me kinda worried doe
eh
it do not matter
earth is already dying by our hand
uncut harness
there's a lot of us now, each a unique entity. We may once originated from a single scan, but we changed, obviously. we started to interact with each other.
sullen pulsar
we ain’t making it off this planet if you ask me
sure maybe Mars and our own solar system
crisp fern
So I really just don't even acknowledge that whole creator scan part of the narrative half the time because it's so 🙄 especially after Waking Titan season 2 threw in dreamers for whatever reason to mix things up even more
sullen pulsar
But I don’t think we’ll goo too far
waking titan retconned a lot of the elements of the Atlas
uncut harness
dunno what was that about the dreamers, but i like the scan bit.
sullen pulsar
honestly I consider it a separate canon, that is if you’re willing to ignore the whole dreamers=anomalies thing
uncut harness
Atlas asking for a scan of its creator, then setting it into the universe it created.
crisp fern
yeah but like even that's dumb when you consider that the Atlas was a predictive sim reproducing the reality of its creator so it should have already had its creator in its simulation
uncut harness
only you know, something's seriously fucking wrong now, hence atlas became rather unstable, more glitches started to show up, and realities started to intertwine.
sullen pulsar
yeah
Remember, the atlas is the reason these wacky crazy glitches keep happening in the sim, which it’s attempting to track down and destroy (anomaly planets, the players, etc)
uncut harness
was it a predictive sim? I thought it was just to simulate a universe.
uncut harness
Some kind of pet project, hence it was abandoned, when all humans fucked off.
sullen pulsar
Honestly I’m in over my head
Mhm
So in the no man’s sky actual, real-world universe, all of humanity is dead or at the very least they abandoned the Atlas
uncut harness
From what we know atlas was on earth, and humans abandoned it, yeah.
sullen pulsar
it does describe seeing a “figure approaching it” at some point so I wouldn’t say humanity is completely gone
uncut harness
too big to take with them, so as a parting gift he asked for a scan.
sullen pulsar
it attempts to see past that point, but it realizes futilely that that figure approaching it is it’s very last moment
cloud epoch
what the hoolihans might this be?
uncut harness
wish was granted, and they went on. Atlas alone.
crisp fern
It's both, it's a predictive ontological simulation of the universe to uncover the nature of reality
cloud epoch
scanner shows nothing
crisp fern
So it's a parallel with reality so that it can predict its host reality, so it should have already had its creator within its simulation anyway
cloud epoch
makes a humming noise
uncut harness
Only now something's wrong, 16 minutes left to live apparently. We dunno what exactly. Some speculate, that sun blew up or something, black hole's about to consume earth, stuff like that.
sullen pulsar
so it can’t cope with its own death and not being able to see its creator again, and in its fervent fear of death it starts duplicating faster and faster, adding in the Travellers (replications of it’s original creator) and stretching each simulation out as much as it can
@cloud epoch new marker for a specific location
uncut harness
what we know for sure, is whatever's wrong, it's on a timer, and atlas can't do anything about it.
remote charm
well that's intersting
cloud epoch
hmmmmm
remote charm
nada and polo both claiming the atlas is a lie
cloud epoch
should i build a base near it lol?
sullen pulsar
@cloud epoch look at it and press the button you normally use to select/highlight something through your analysis visor
it’ll go away
remote charm
I can see why if the early game lead everyone out to a random galaxy instead of whatever it is we thought it was
sullen pulsar
took me a minute to figure that out too haha it’s not explained at all
uncut harness
nada and polo don't know shit, creations rebelling, atlas most likely is real.
sullen pulsar
Instead of searching for the “purpose” of all reality, it starts searching for the “purpose” of itself
uncut harness
And dying. as for different galaxies, it's just more resets isn't it?
cloud epoch
what did dooooooo?!
remote charm
ya hard to say, why would this thing repeat over and over again, why would atlas push you off the galaxy once you know too much
cloud epoch
i hit e to tag and it ran off
remote charm
that's true, but why is it dying?
sullen pulsar
is it gone? @cloud epoch
cloud epoch
rip muh cool light beam
sullen pulsar
yeah
uncut harness
like you can reset the galaxy, with different prefixes, like tranquil and whatnot, and poof, it regenerates. a new galaxy.
remote charm
is it dying cause of things like nada and polo or is it dying because of some other reason and you save it
sullen pulsar
tag any random spot that doesn’t already have some form of special location marker to get beam back
tag the beam again to remove it
the atlas’ physical form, a supercomputer of human design, exists on earth, and for whatever reason it suddenly realizes it only has sixteen minutes of real-world human time to live
uncut harness
we don't know why it's dying, that's the point. we only know that it supposedly has 16 minutes left to live, it's panicking, it's afraid, and it can't do anything about it, since the problem exists in the "real" world, not the simulated one.
cloud epoch
wait is that really just the custom marker?
cus i hadnt set one when i found this lol
remote charm
@uncut harness I blame sean XD
crisp fern
except knowing how black holes work in-game that doesn't make a ton of sense
sullen pulsar
it can essentially view the future, so it looks far enough ahead and sees a “bright light and a figure approaching, obscured by the light” so it tries to look even further past that point, but physically cannot
crisp fern
it would just move the Atlas around one would think and, well, sure, damage its tech, but eh
uncut harness
maybe it's jumping between 2 black holes. 😄 His tech is constantly getting damaged, hence we get more broken universe, and everything's collapsing.
remote charm
explains all the bugs every time we get a new update XD
sullen pulsar
it begins to fear death upon the realisation that it can see nothing past that point, and starts screwing up its simulations, dropping in the travelers (clones based on its original creator, which vary even more with each simulation run), and the atlas grows so careless in its race against death that universes start bleeding together, and all the funky lore shit starts happening (anomalous planets and other “glitchy” things)
it’s kind of melancholy and sad really
remote charm
so where does nada and polo and artemis fit into this?
uncut harness
artemis was one of those scans, as simple as that.
sullen pulsar
for the whole game the atlas seems evil, it’s just so malevolent and controlling because it wants nothing more than order in a chaos-filled world (i.e death)
uncut harness
polo and nada have an anomaly, that exists outside of space and time.
sullen pulsar
that’s the way I interpret it
uncut harness
it can't be reset.
sullen pulsar
Yeah, the travelers who are sentient that you talk too are the ones who are largely aware of their own existence
they know the atlas at least in some way is responsible for controlling all of reality
so they basically say fuck you to god and start bleeding through the universe, purposefully trying to find more sentient travelers
remote charm
and because they can
can'
can't be reset they remember everything that happens instead of having memory wipes
sullen pulsar
they’re not much special beyond that, but that’s not to bring down how important and interesting their capabilities are
remote charm
so then the travelers who go to the center and get sucked into a new galaxy never to be seen again are the ones who failed?
that's what it seems like
they always want to return to the original galaxy after realizing the error of their ways but fail every time cause there is no way back
crisp fern
@sullen pulsar i read the atlas as desperately wanting to be understood 🤷
sullen pulsar
We’re anomalies, not travelers. We’re different in that we’re capable of viewing all this from an outside perspective. Unless you’re talking about some actual travelers in which case I forget about that part.
remote charm
so then they try to go forward and fail because there's only so many places they can go but never back to the orignal
remote charm
@sullen pulsar well that depends on perspectives. Are we travelers or anomalies? You can technically call the day one people travelers since they've all done this before several iterations of the universe
but at the same time they can all be anomalies
uncut harness
I thought whatever happens, happens outside of his control, in the real world, and all he can do is to simulate universes, he tries to do that over and over to find a solution.
remote charm
ya ala mass effect child XD
but better ending
the question is why and for what purpose
my new game is going to be really interesting
sullen pulsar
Nobody knows why the atlas is getting OOF’d
remote charm
ya that's what makes us more like travelers because we don't know the full picture
sullen pulsar
perhaps the humans running it just pulled the plug, or maybe all humans have died and it’s basically run out of power
we still dunno
uncut harness
but you said about him seeing the future, and that after death there's nothing.
uncut harness
that's why he's afraid. I thought he didn't want to die in more normal sense.
Like you and I.
remote charm
he's afraid of the void
sullen pulsar
The atlas was designed to simulate the future, so at some point it simulates its own, and realizes at some point that its simulation rather abruptly stops just after a figure shrouded in white light approaches it
remote charm
rather than death
sullen pulsar
which could be a metaphor for god or someone coming to take it away
really that’s also a mystery
remote charm
so then the choice we make to not go through into a new universe? Is that us preventing the simulation from starting over?
uncut harness
and its 16 mniutes till that.
sullen pulsar
Each simulation will, canonically, end with time
crisp fern
it's black holes
remote charm
but that choice is still there yes?
uncut harness
I think reseting doesn't matter.
sullen pulsar
it just seems longer than 16 minutes to us because in real-time the simulations are running at speeds very different from baseline earth speed
uncut harness
atlas already reset countless of times.
crisp fern
It witnesses its own self, the black hole ripping apart its world, its core systems almost destroyed.
sullen pulsar
death always is inevitable for the atlas
uncut harness
Yeah, that's why you don't have to reset straight away, you can do it normally by going to the center.
uncut harness
Artemis doesn't know a lot of things. She's just a lonely traveller, that will be alone forever.
remote charm
@sullen pulsar the other thought also is 16 minutes near a supermassive black hole could take centuries
uncut harness
anything in regards to our own AI?
Apparently next introduced that other AI, one in our backpack and whatnot, and "her" story can be found in those new terminals.
sullen pulsar
uncut harness
Anything interesting there? How does she tie to all of this?
sullen pulsar
God visits the atlas lmao
remote charm
@uncut harness and interestingly artemis tells me she ripped out the speaker from her exosuit because of what that AI was doing and saying to her
sullen pulsar
Ah yes
Telamon
According to the big ring fellas on anomaly planets we should “beware what she tells us”
lovely stuff
one of these days they’re gonna sneakily add in Telamon voice lines that say super creepy shit whenever you’re on anomaly planets
uncut harness
that screen.
It's kinda calming in a way.
It doesn't necessairly mean atlas will die. Only that it's 16 minutes till contact, and after those 16 minutes, "it won't be alone".
remote charm
yes but that's a supposition
uncut harness
like half the lore in this game.
remote charm
atlas is only basing that on seeing someone approach but can't see beyond that. For all we know person walks up and powers off the PC and atlas is in the void indefinitely
if atlas was not afraid of the end then seeing a person appear shouldn't be frightning
uncut harness
That could mean they came back for him, that they'll turn him on somewhere else.
remote charm
or they toss him in a scrap heap
remote charm
if he was turned on again he should be able to see past that point
and have a void between now and then
uncut harness
he's predicting right?
He can't predict what will happen to him after he's been turned off.
remote charm
true
uncut harness
Wishful thinking, but I really hope that "he will never be alone again" means they came back for him, and put him on a ship or something.
remote charm
but I look at it this way. If you fall asleep you predict you will wake up again the next morning. If you die, you can't seem to predict what happens to the world beyond what happens to you
same with a AI with future sight. If Atlas is repowered there should be some prediction available of being turned on again
uncut harness
You hope you wake up. you never technically know that you will.
uncut harness
glad I at least remembered that right.
That she's attached to our backpack.
So she's the one saying "inventory's full" etc?
remote charm
so is that attached to artemis or us?
uncut harness
we're the last one I think.
remote charm
hmm lots of us it seems
uncut harness
infinite universes and whatnot.
sullen pulsar
Yea
remote charm
so right now that AI doesn't go batshit crazy
remote charm
I look forward to that update when that happens
this game will get super creepy because of it
sullen pulsar
also this implies that the Atlas’ vision of the future could just have been tampered with
so that it was purposefully cut short by the creator
remote charm
lol reminds me of the last universe reset
uncut harness
huh. so it's "it all happened before" bullshit then?
remote charm
I blame sean for that
uncut harness
the person in the light is it's creator, reseting atlas?
uncut harness
But yeah, it was designed to simulate universes. that's all.
"to show the nature of reality, by creating it's own". That also makes sense.
It fears its own death, cause everything he creates and simulates eventually dies?
uncut harness
shoulda installed one bio reactor.
remote charm
didn't get around to it
uncut harness
I can't get to wiring at all
cause I can build one and only wire.
and I can't connect a dozen different things with it.
sullen pulsar
I have a ton of wiring
uncut harness
after building one wire from point a to point b, game says i reached the limit for this creation and fuck off.
sullen pulsar
three solar panels and a single battery
remote charm
actually it looks like all my doors disappeared
cause i'm just runnnig around in the same hallways
uncut harness
that also can happen, yeah.
sullen pulsar
connected from the battery to a teleport terminus
uncut harness
old bug, surprised they didn't fix it.
sullen pulsar
yup pre-Beyond saves lost their doors
remote charm
there's supposed to be an open door that goes out to the wood section
uncut harness
I lost my landing pads. 😄
remote charm
the door was there when I went in
sullen pulsar
I haven’t checked my pre-Beyond bases
remote charm
great, I have to find which side it's supposed to be on
sullen pulsar
Im sure they’ve all gone to hell though
remote charm
and the best part it's all red right now like the atlas
sullen pulsar
Probably just gonna scrap all my pre-Beyond bases
mighty rampart
@uncut harness you should be refunded for those
sullen pulsar
Just start anew
remote charm
and I'm trying to do the triangulation quest for artemis. Atlas knows XED
uncut harness
emphasis on "should".
remote charm
@sullen pulsar that's what I;m going to do, I'm, just doing random stuff on my old game
sullen pulsar
new save for new life essentially
Old save has over 100 hours
😎👌
Not much all things considered
But I’ve had a helluva lot of fun experiences in that time
remote charm
ok better
sullen pulsar
On my new save I just made my first interstellar warp
remote charm
I reinstalled the door
sullen pulsar
new system baby
remote charm
the door literally disappeared
sullen pulsar
the first planet I land on has ancient bones (which can be worth millions if I get lucky), and huge striders
only problem is crappy constantly burning weather
but now I go to bed
And I won’t get to play the game for another two and a half weeks
😭
going on vacation tho so it’s worth it
well
mighty rampart
@uncut harness check the base salvage capsule
sullen pulsar
kinda worth it
remote charm
going to see what my other base does to me, collected extra resources just in case
remote charm
lol on one side it has planted beans and on the side my ships land hazardous flora try to kill me
@uncut harness actually interestingly the fact that my old base had a door that was bugged
that's like the atlas dying...totally 4th wall breaking even though it was unintended
makes me wonder now if the "creator" can also be an engineer or person engaged in maintenance with the atlas and at some point either dies or gives up and lets the thing run till it's like an old PC
I'm also wondering about the vykeen we recruit who loses contact and almost becomes nada like
there's some interesting things the NPCs say now if you go into the game really treating the whole game like one giant conspiracy theory
remote charm
that's super interesting
nada and polo both say artemis either forgot them or she has traveled to a point where she has yet to meet them
and they describe her to be like another iteration of who she was
uncut harness
How bad is this game usually? I'm crashing a lot in the Nexus and my freighter is very glitchy the storage room I can't walk into and it doesn't add storage, adding a corner room leaves pieces of the wall floating... Is this normal?
remote charm
the storage you'll need power for
ditto for the doors if you have them
the nexus has improved. I'm currently there. But it depends. If you're on PC use the experimental branch. If you're on PS4/xbox there should be a patch coming once it clears certification
usually the game is fine. Beyond created a bunch of bugs, which most have been resolved within the last day
the corner room thing might just be a bug
uncut harness
All these are happening tonight, also the stairs when going up in the freighter there's a wall that connects both staircases and that wall is "alive" it moves and glitches: changes textures. I've noticed my character model disappears sometimes when I'm talking to people in the docking area. My specs: 2080, ryzen 7 2700x, 17gb ram I don't think it has anything to do with my rig
16*
remote charm
interesting
I doubt it does. Best to wait to tomorrow at least and see if there's a new patch in the morning
uncut harness
So what's the difference between crimson story vs Artemis
mighty rampart
@uncut harness Artemis is about the whole fact that we're all in different simulations (different iterations) and the Atlas is the one making them all in an attempt to fix itself
the atlas seeds is about the latter
uncut harness
Therefore the center takes you to another dimension so technically people complaining about it didn't understand the full story I kinda like that
gentle nova
What are the new "story elements" that we got with Beyond ?
I gotta go to the center and I nearly finished Atlas but I thought I read somewhere that Beyond brought new story quests or something ?
timber sinew
It consolidates some questlines, reworks Nada and Polo for the Nexus, and redoes (for the nth time) the tutorial bits, but I don't recall any totally new story elements being added
tepid iris
so you can save power as Khraze pointed out, by disabling tech through switches when not used:
I've also found out
portals, farming containers etc auto are supplied with power if they're in a pure ferrite room that is powered
Batteries placed inside a pure ferrite building seem to auto empower all connected blocks
I'll probably add proximity switches to my portals then

Decided to post this just for reference. As this was my primary source of carbon pre beyond. Frost crystals. Refiner did "Operation: Burn Plant Matter" and made carbon at a 1:2 ratio. Glass was made with frost crystals from the backpack, not refiner. Now frost crystals are the ONLY plant material that no longer makes carbon in refiner. Why?!?! Every other plant still makes carbon.
Also, we have the silica sand or whatever it is now that also makes glass. So I wonder if adding the silica or whatever caused a funky overlap with the frost crystals and causes this.

7 minutes till sunlight oof
so a 2 minute gap of downtime if the calc is correct
nope oof
seems like pausing the game bugs the countdowns 😛

To bug reports we go
tepid iris
alright
- 10 batteries
3 more minutes to charge the 10 extras
5 minutes left till night
this should work hopefully 😛
630 000kp stored in batteries
450kp used, 1600kp generated
holy christ what?
this can't be right... right?
600 000 kp can't last longer than 2-3 minutes out of 15 minutes night?
waaat
time until drained is going up per second
lol VICTORY (or at least so far)
counter is now at 7 minutes and rising, with less than 7 minutes till sunrise
my HQ is back online 😄
yay sunlight! we made it!
over the night, my base used up a massive chunk of 320 000 / 600 000 kp
about 45% charge left reserve

Just started Alone Amidst the Starts - it says to search for clues about artermis and to open my guide but ive found nothing so far...
Nevermind
errant wasp
Is the free freighter quest capped at 20 slots now or is that limitation still just based on playtime? So if I keep denying the free freighter until 15+ hours in higher slot ones should spawn?
jovial stag
@errant wasp I don't know if they have changed the slots for the Freighters but they used to be;```arm
Freighters
Type and Slots **:** Tech slots
> Regular: 15-19 **:** 4
> Capital: 24-34 **:** 4
Class and Bonuses
> C 0-9% Hyperdrive Bonus
> B 10-19%
> A 20-30%
> S 31-40%
```css
The available build area within the freighter is the same regardless of type/class of the freighter.
So if you can find a system where a Capital freighter spawns then you just warp in to that system when a Space Rescue mission is triggered and then land on station and exit ship to make an autosave, you then get back in ship and go kill the pirates and once you do that board ship and then see if the stats are what you want... if not reload save and try again...
weak spindle
wow! first trip aboard the new "Space Anomoly" Amaze-balls!
errant wasp
@jovial stag they must have changed something, because the free freighter quest is saying it's giving Capital Ships, but then they are capped at 19 slots still
i save scummed like 20 times never saw more than 19 slots
jovial stag
that is just a Space Rescue mission and those can happen in systems where no Capital ship spawns, and a Capital ship has 24-34 slots... anything 15-19 is just a regular freighter and they are in every system. So the trick is to find a system where a Capital ship spawns... then you wait for a space rescue to be triggered and only then do you go to that system and do the battle with the pirates @errant wasp
errant wasp
@jovial stag ah, I was told by someone else that it is capped at 19 slots now. Even when getting on the chip the hover tooltip was showing "Capital Ship"
jovial stag
Yes it'll say Capital ship but if it doesn't have 24-34 slots then its not a proper Capital ship...
cloud epoch
is anyone's iteration: ares broke? mine acts like a traveller and wants nanites for a grave site...

Has anyone figured out how to switch ship weapons while in vr?
uncut harness
I heard everything gets really weird after reaching the center of the universe each time you do the game mixes up the terrain is this true
violet narwhal
No, that was mentioned before release, but never got into the real game.
They may have been repeating the old information, or perhaps weren't clear what they meant?
jovial stag
@uncut harness not sure if the release of Beyond has changed this but time will tell I guess...```diff
This method will also work to obtain a freighter if you don't already have one.
-
Identify the system where a freighter in the style/colour you like spawns
-
Travel to the system, via a Portal so the system can then be set as a waypoint and then using warps/black holes (you can also join someone who is already there, you just need the system in your teleporter list), this will be Point A
-
Once you get there (not by using a Portal) you need to warp to a nearby system, this will be known as Point B
-
Now, go back to just playing the game and exploring, making sure to create a save point in every system/station you visit.
-
When a space rescue is triggered you should reload your last save and then teleport to Point B
- Note: Warping around in a Freighter, if you have one, will not trigger a space rescue, so use a ship
-
From there get in then out and then back in your ship in the Point B station (creates a save point)
-
Then leave the station and warp to Point A, ignore the battle and land on the station.
-
Get out/in your ship (create a save point)
-
Then leave the station and enter the battle. [1]
-
Once the battle is completed board the freighter.
-
If you're happy with the stats for the freighter then purchase/exchange it if not reload your save, go to [1] above
- Be aware that the space rescue battles can also happen for the Regular freighters found in every system as well as the Capital ones. So pick your battles carefully.
For any of the people wishing they didn't need to bother messing with power and stuff...
UI_AUTOPOWER_DESC Enabling Auto-Power removes the need to build generators and power networks.``` looks like they may have thought of that option already... But not in the game yet AFAIK.I could be misinterpreting that though, I guess.

Also, try and target a T3 System, you have better chances of getting one of the good ones

I beat the game a long while ago, not sure if Hello Games ever continued the story - its very vague and a lot of things were never addressed
