You mean, that if there is a concentrated gas cloud around it will automatically changes to that?

I noticed something interesting during a leap in the dark
the anomalous planet you get sent to after stepping in the portal does not actually exist
foggy jacinth
?
idle leaf
I checked the planet name upon arriving there, it was Sidusiss
after which i checked what my visor said in the atlas, which was Elopoli-Wac
then after i completed the atlas dialogue, I ended up on desert planet Sidusiss in Elopoli-Wac
anomalous sidusiss had hostile sentinels, while real sidusiss had low sentinels
Huh
took the black hole inside the system in which i entered the portal
and ended up at Elopoli Wac
Now I'm curious, does it send you through the nearest black hole, or though a black hole in the portal's system even if it doesn't have one
violet narwhal
IIRC it does a black hole jump from that system, when you go into the portal. If the portal was in a system that had a black hole, going through the hole would presumably take you to the same place.
I don't remember, it may be that region is the only relevant part for the black hole stuff, so going through the portal may take you to the same place as that region's black hole (which may not be the closest).
And as for the planet... IIRC you go through the portal and get a normal "loading screen"... Then appear on the anomalous planet... Then... appear on an atlas station, without a loading screen? and eventually end up back on a normal planet, also without a loading screen?
idle leaf
the anomalous planet shares the same name as the normal planet, and the atlas station is from the system if seen through the visor (even though the system doesn't have one)
on a related note, each region only has one black hole?
violet narwhal
I think you may be right, the anomalous one may not exist at all, just looks anomalous temporarily when you get there.
idle leaf
even though the planet properties are different when seen in the visor (and accurate to an anomalous planet)
I've not tried scanning tho
since i immediately got blasted by sentinels out of the portal
violet narwhal
Yes, each region has one black hole and one atlas station, IIRC at fixed system numbers... 79 for the black hole, I forget what for Atlas.. 5 or something.
neon zephyr
An atlas station? Is that different from the atlas terminals in the quest? Polo gives coords to both right?
foggy jacinth
Polo gives coordinates to Atlas stations. Unsure what an atlas terminal is.
violet narwhal
Different names for the same thing, as far as I know.
I think "interface" is the "real" name... But the game uses "station" in some places too.
crisp fern
interface is the proper term, more or less, used in background lore stuff at plaques
Celadin's probably referring to the terminals you interact with within the Interface/Station itself
gleaming rune
Hey random question
Is the atlas path worth it
It seems like an endless stream of visiting interfaces
foggy jacinth
@gleaming rune you get a couple of neat perks at the end, and each atlas interface has a lode worth of words to learn. I think there are 10 visits total (maybe 11)
foggy jacinth
nope

So, is making food good for ANYTHING?

hmmm.. wonder what the tiers look like?
Xaine's recipe list doesn't show nanites

guys i have a little question, so i selected wipe the universe stuff at the starting of "the purge" questline but i was just being dramatic xd the question is, is everything i have done and all the systems gonna wipe out? i heard that there is gonna be creation of something but is it gonna be something like a planet or a system or something like that? can we continue warping around after the questline is over?

How far into The Purge mission are you?

reset simulation puts you into a new galaxy
refuse the atlas keeps you in Euclid
How you answer the reset defines what your next galaxy is
shut karma
i asked my question here cuz its about the end of a whole questline so it would be a big spoiler if i asked it at help channel
uncut harness
You'll start in a new galaxy the exact way you started the game, next to a broken ship.
Imagine it like a New Game Plus option.

Now if you say refuse, you can STILL go to a new galaxy
but you have to go to the center, and you can only go to galaxy #2.

if its gonna purge my stuff and my lovely ships i wont accept that simulation đŚ

You'll still have your stuff.

it does damage your stuff tho
but its repairable
You can still go back to all your bases now

ummm, that broken ship wont be my ship right?

It'll be your active ship.

and by stuff, all the modules in your main ship inventory, and the modules in your suit. but not tech
No, its still your same ship(s)

so there wont be any downsides of reset simulation
heavy mortar
you can even summon your freighter once you make orbit the first time
Not any more
The only downside is you'll miss the middle of Euclid

what is at the middle of euclid tho

@lyric robin no need for DMs...
The purge just needs you to warp a certain number of times, as it counts down, I believe... You don't need to actually get to the centre.
lyric robin
oh ok
lyric robin
so going through the entire atlas mission sends you to a new galaxy and starts the artemis quest over?
violet narwhal
The purge is the end of the Artemis stuff. It gives you a chance to go to a new galaxy, which you don't need to take. It doesn't restart.

Atlas path mission, end reward, I can "birth a new star" apparently? Does that actually randomly generate a new star system, or is it just fancy-talk?
foggy jacinth
Fancy talk. You get a cool animation, but no indication of where the star might be, and you don't get to visit and play god. LOL.
ripe copper
Ah, hah, right, figured it'd be cool to build a house in my own system
foggy jacinth
The other benefits you get are two things you can craft: a star seed, which lets you see the locations of all the black holes on the galactic map, and gives a small health benefit, and a Remembrance, which gives you access to some terminals which give you lore. And gives you a small health benefit.
ripe copper
Aah, so that's where the remembrance is from
foggy jacinth
But you can always get back holes from Polo, and that's much easier now that you can summon the Anomaly at any time.
ripe copper
Yeah, I've just asked him whenever I needed a black hole so that's no biggie really
Losing the remembrance is annoying though, I'd like to have that one

It's cool for about two terminals. But they always say the same thing.

Ah, cool beans, mightaswell toss'em a report, cheers

Should I game end ArtemisâEcho, or put her in the sim?
If thereâs a risk she can get worse being alive than she is being dead I might as well put her down.
But I wonder whether Artemis would come back later on or something.
Without spoiling anything too much, it really doesn't matter. It's entirely on you, you won't lose or gain access to anything.
So itâs an inessential moral choice then?
Exactly that.
Itâs inevitable Artemis would reach the end of the simulation and realise it... so...
Guess Iâll give her the fate that I, regrettably, didnât give the ill animal.
I like to imagine the animal died almost immediately after I tried to feed it. I felt like shit not just ending its suffering lmao.
Haha. The game certainly makes you question some of your choices.
Oh man I know.
I love this game to pieces but did not expect this damn story.
Itâs making me contemplate hard on literally everything.
If Artemis were to get an âentire universeâ instead of âa single solar systemâ I would have actually considered letting her live in the simulation.
But I donât know everything about it.
Are there other people there? Is it heavenly? Does she fly among the planets? Etc.
None of it was explained, so itâs much more safe and peaceful of mind to just let her die.
I chose to let her live.
I don't know why if I'm being honest.
pine badger
Greetings.
One can have a base in every galaxy to move around between Galaxies.
But if one wants to move between galaxies by reseting them?
What is the best way to do it?
I think that If I have a base realy close to any galaxy core, I could quickly change galaxies by reseting the one I'm in. Am I wrong?
Thank you.
violet narwhal
By going into the core in one galaxy, you get taken to the next galaxy. There's no obvious need to do that more than once in a single galaxy, as you'll always end up in the same galaxy after... But I guess you probably end up in a random starting place in the new galaxy, so that may be useful somehow? But you get damage from doing that, so probably not worth it...
pine badger
@uncut harness, as far as I can tell it was really an entire galaxy.
Also got that dilema and ultimatly I also let her die. Only because she wouldn't know that it was a simulation.
She would be alone there but with an entire galaxy to discover and explore.
You're asured by other NPC's along the way that you made the right choice.
The discovery that it was a simulation would torn her appart and would make things worse.
.
@violet narwhal, Using the galactic core to reset will only take you to the next galaxy? No way to choose the type of galaxy?
violet narwhal
Correct. The choice of type only happens in the Artemis stuff, which you can only do once.
pine badger
So, after doing the Artemis storyline, there is no way to choose the type of galaxy? Is that it?
Sorry for the kind of repeating of what you said. Only trying to understand if I got it right. đ
violet narwhal
Right. You may need to go through several cores to get to a certain type.
pine badger
Then the best way is to have a base computer really near to each galaxy core, right?
So I can teleport between bases and chose the next I want.
violet narwhal
Ehh
pine badger
?
pine badger
I don't know. Just asking. đ
violet narwhal
To get to galaxy 8 from 5, you'd have to go through the cores of 5, 6, 7...
pine badger
but once I get to the core of all galaxies and place a base computer, I can chose the base computer in the galaxy 134 to get to the 135 galaxy.
Yes. I'm insane. :p
violet narwhal
You could, but if you're at that core, instead of building a computer before you jump, why not just do the jump, then build the computer in the next galaxy?
Although... I don't see a real use for you to have a base at the core of a galaxy.... But to help other people to get to the next galaxy, that could be useful.
pine badger
1020 days of about 6 hours playtime to get to the core of all galaxies. small stuff.
I'm sure that is already someone that has done it.
violet narwhal
Heh
pine badger
and that not counting the time to gather the resources for each journey to the core.
I keep earing "Bros - Shocked" everytime I type "to the core"...
Why the "Heh", @violet narwhal?

charge the hyperdrive to 100% make sure you're in the system closest to the core and then just set the filter to core and select the core at the end of the line, see picture
oh! and make the final jump in a non upgraded ship, no damage that way after the jump to the new galaxy
pine badger
Thanks. đ I think I'll set a base around here first. đ
sly mantle
Okay The Purge questline. if you reset the simulation, do you actually create a new galaxy that is added into the row of galaxies, or do you just get sent to one of the desired kind?
And according to the wiki, if you refuse the atlas you can "change your mind" by going to the center
violet narwhal
You don't create a galaxy, no, you go to one of the right type.
And going to the centre is a separate go-to-another-galaxy method, independent of the purge stuff, and that sends you to the next galaxy, rather than giving you a choice.
crisp fern
And changing your mind is basically opting for the longer route, and it only takes you to the next galaxy in the sequence, so the second galaxy rather than whichever other numbered one
crisp fern
Basically another way of saying what Moo said
Well, you do, you lose a choice of galaxy type to go to
sly mantle
I mean I can do that by racing to the center until I'm at the right galaxy
crisp fern
You can still go to the different types, but you'll have to do it manually
Right, but that takes significantly longer. If that's not a concern for ya, then no worries
violet narwhal
That... could be a long way to go, depending which galaxy you want.
crisp fern
As in actual portals found on planets, or teleporters?
violet narwhal
No, only within the current galaxy.
sly mantle
Okay great
violet narwhal
... yeah. Actual portals.
sly mantle
Yep
crisp fern
I only ask because there's often a bit of confusion on that, lol
violet narwhal
You can get back to previously visited galaxies with teleporters.
crisp fern
However, there seem to still be some bugs being worked out with that travel method...
violet narwhal
Make sure you build a base in a new galaxy... yeah ^
crisp fern
So there's 4 types of galaxies:
-Imbalanced: that's the starter galaxy
-Verdant: more lush planets in yellow star systems
-Violent: more extreme Sentinel planets & I think more extreme weather planets?
-Empty/Ancestral (forget the adjectives, but I think those are right): more dead planets in yellow star systems

The point now of going to hte center is that you can move to the next galaxy: the hilbert dimension. If that's not of interest, there isn't really a point. The Galactic Hub, which most people think about as "The Hub," is not at the center. It's in the southwest corner, actually.

@uncut harness You likely activated part of it in a system you're not in currently. Activate the mission on your log, then check a station teleporter to see if it shows the mission name in (parens) after the name.
Possibly you scanned for a holo terminus on a planet and then left it without visiting, etc.
Or, you are at the point where you need to do the ||16 warps and get the glyphs, are you getting a glyph injected each warp?|| If so, you need to finish that sequence by jumping from system to system.
Lol, spoiler tag in spoilers đ
Okay, gotta run, good luck!
gleaming rune
Can somebody explain the sentinels to me
What's their deal
The story does a goofy job of explaining it
pastel magnet
As far as I can figure, they were originally called the Aurons and served the Atlas. The Atlas would periodically deploy them when it thought one of the universes was breaking down, in a misguided attempt to save the simulation.
Now the simulation has broken down so much that the Sentinels are completely out of the Atlas' control, and different groups of Sentinels have different agendas. (This is the lore explanation for why the Sentinels have different aggression levels on each planet.)
fringe jungle
My interpretation was that they were a sort of police force. They protect, in particular, rare species and resources. And certainly come to aid (however poorly) the sentient denizens of the universe. Travellers don't belong.
Sentinels aren't evil, there's even one that was kept as a pet.
And Sentinels are part of the fabric of the simulated universe, spread everywhere as nanites for currency and even used as a drug.
prisma sedge
But the Vyâkeen went to war with the sentinels, which kind of messes up that theory
like theyâre enemies to most
The overseer in my base had a dialogue which was along the lines of âwhy do the sentinels get to farm what they wish, but stop you from fighting for survival? Itâs unfair!â
I think the Korvax also have negative views towards the sentinels although Iâm not sure
uncut harness
From what I understood, the Atlas understands life through conflicts
The sentinels maintain âbalanceâ on some planet and make species angry at one another
If you scan a sentinel it will say its occupation is âsow discordâ
But everything is interpretation, you can believe what you wish haha
Itâs the nanite thing I donât understand
Itâs like blood ?
But they use it to make tech? And thus is used as a currency ?
mighty rampart
blood doesn't transform into other things
nanites are like that weird reforming Terminator from Terminator 2
it can turn into anything and everything

During Alone Amidst the Stars, apparently you're supposed to happen upon Artemis' ship at some point... but I never saw one. I assumed the Radiant Pillar BC1 was her's as a result... Does her ship not spawn within the distress beacon's zone sometimes?
violet narwhal
It's a random crashed ship you get sent to, not the Radiant Pillar you start with. Crashed ship sites spawning with no ships seems to be fairly common since... Next maybe? So I guess it's possible you end up with one like that for that quest, with only a distress beacon thing.
But the ship itself is just a normal crashed ship, can be anything, and isn't special in any way as far as I know.
hallow beacon
Thanks for clarifying. No I didn't think I was guna use it. But I guess I wanted to keep it anyway for sentimental purposes. Max it out and name it Artemis' ship or something.

Hi.
I have placed 8 landing pads but only one seems to be receiving ships.
Any advices?

I wonder if they're reworking the customization UI for the upcoming update. I have a reason to believe so since ship customization was mentioned a few times leading to Beyonds launch and vehicle customization UI has been broken since Beyond
Like adding decals, changing colors of the boosters etc.
pine badger
How can I make more ships land at once on my 8 landing pads?
jovial stag
do you have your freighter in the system your base is in? @pine badger if so move it to another system
and didn't someone mention its best to have 4 or 5 pads at most?
foggy jacinth
@pine badger NPCs will only ever land on one pad at a planetary base.
I suppose if you had overlapping bases, and built pads at both bases, you might get them to land at 2, but overlapping bases are a massive pain, and buggy. I wouldn't recommend it.
pine badger
I placed a base computer on a trading outpost on the other side of the planet. Then moved to the shore and placed another base computer there. Downsized to 6 pads and still the same.
Will move freighter away and remove the trading outpost base computer when I get to my real home computer. :) Was asleep sorry.
Thank you @jovial stag and @foggy jacinth for the tips.

Soo what do you lose if u reset the galaxy
lucid aurora
You lose 50% of the materials you used to build your base in Euclid. Unless you dismantle it before you leave. Dont worry about the 10 storage containers or the items inside them, you lose none of that. At your new base, build the previoius base cache and 50% of everything else you left behind will be in there. Unless your base was so massive that it fills up.
Anymore help questions belong in the nms-tech or nms-game help threads.

you dont lose anything if you reset the galaxy @haughty rover
you're basically going to go to a new galaxy of your choice

Yep. The only difference is that reaching the galactic center does not let you choose the galaxy type. It just goes to whatever galaxy is next

So what's the chances of finding a dead galaxy
icy citrus
100%, they exist and you can get to one easily from the story
haughty rover
I heard there was dead galaxys
uncut harness
Kinda
Abandoned and Uncharted.
Abandoned: Someone was once there and now they are not.
Uncharted: Nobody has been there at all.
icy citrus
Systems will probably only ever be truly dead if you find one with a single dead planet
Nah, just a much higher rate of dead planets
prisma sedge
But thereâd also be a lack of organic resources no
haughty rover
Just fly to a planet that's alive xD
prisma sedge
Well I like to build my bases on one-planet systems since itâs easier to go from the planet to the space station
I guess
Idk

So big spoiler ahead
If u tell the woman she's in a sim. Does she ever contact you again?
uncut harness
No but you contact "her".
Nothing deep though, from this point on contact will be minimal.
haughty rover
Hm I guess that thing on the station next to the big portal is for if u don't tell her đ¤

Hello everyone.
What is the point of Portals if you cannot place a base computer in another galaxy?
How can I place a base computer in another galaxy other than the one I'm in?
I only know 1 person in no man's sky. so traveling to other galaxies might be a lot of work going to the center of all...
foggy jacinth
Portals allow you to go visit other people's bases, or to see cool planet, or cool fauna like diplos. They allow you to go get a ship you want, or a multi-tool.
Galaxy ... do you mean star system? Star systems have a star and some planets. Galaxies have Qsuintilians of stars. There are many ways to get to another galaxy.
@pine badger
pine badger
I did meant Galaxy. đ
@foggy jacinth
Once The Purge is done, I only know 2 ways of changing or visiting other galaxies:
- Traveling to the Galaxy Core;
- Teleporting to another player.
What other ways are there?
foggy jacinth
Well, other players comes down to two: getting a ride by joining their game, or teleporting to their base from the Anomaly. But I was including the Purge in my count.
pine badger
Teleporting to their base from the Anomaly? How. Must be in a group, right?
foggy jacinth
No. Everyone at the anomaly has a base listed at the Big Old Transporter on the left side of the station as you fly in. People at the anomaly can be in any galaxy. So, for instance, if someone sees my base called "Eissantem core" but they're in Euclid, they can teleport to my base and be in Eissantem.
pine badger
Oh. Have used that Teleporter but never noticed that. đ Thank you.
mental socket
I wonder when they'll start featuring some bases
rocky rivet
So I'm at the part where I have to decide Artermis's fate. What do?
violet narwhal
Whatever you prefer. There isn't a "better" choice, or one that benefits you more or anything, so just pick whatever you want.
uncut harness
how many diffrent galaxies are there?
im at the part where im at the last atlas path mission after the last seed, the "heart of the sun"
so im close to having another galaxy
but is there a specific kind i should need?
foggy jacinth
There are 255 galaxies. 4 types, mainly. https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Galaxy
foggy jacinth
No, there are quintillions of solar systems.
uncut harness
wait so if you refused the atlas will anything happen if u keep following the atlas path?
foggy jacinth
No. Once you finish the Atlas path, it repeats. But once you've built the Heart of the Sun, you don't get any more benefits.
Finishing the Artemis path is a bit different.
uncut harness
but as long as you have rememberance you can use the atlas teleporter to go back to ecluid?
foggy jacinth
no. The remembrance gives you access to some lore terminals you find in back rooms in bases and on stations. it also gives you a bit of a health boost. To get back to Euclid, you'll need to have a base there.
uncut harness
so just a normal teleporter?
foggy jacinth
yes? I'm not sure I understand the question.
uncut harness
i thought u had to use the big teleporter in the atlas
and that you could not use normal ones.
foggy jacinth
Ah. No, as long as you have a base, you can use a standard teleporter to get there. The one on the Anomaly will give you access to bases that other players on the anomaly have, but otherwise, it's the same, just displayed bigger.
and to clarify: The atlas is a diamond-shaped space station all done in red and black. There's a giant object (which changes) that you communicate with. The Anomaly is a round space station that has Nada and Polo on it. the Nexus is a giant cube in the Anomaly that gives out missions.
shadow rock
So just to clarify, the whole "16" thing stems from Atlas seeing the last 16 minutes of its life, right?
mighty rampart
Hexadecimals
for all we know the Atlas is a terrible AI and cant seem to read a certain hexadecimal and is screaming 16
shadow rock
Your system is out of date. Please upgrade to Atlas 10
mighty rampart
for real though
Atlas is just screaming 16
no idea if it even means time
but we, in the game, assume it is
seconds, minutes, years, centuries
considering there's a running theme of 16, it could be anything
shadow rock
I always thought it was because the atlas saw its last 16 minutes of life
And it's been established it's afraid to die
shadow rock
I would be too if I knew I was gonna die
mighty rampart
"sup Dolos"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
"what"
"I HAVE 16"
"..ok"
shadow rock
Not only that but its gonna die while the whole universe watches
And does nothing
If I remember correctly
shadow rock
I'm p sure it says travellers are gonna come together
mighty rampart
but doesnt seem to figure out WHAT is to be fixed
shadow rock
speaking of which
The last few updates have been in line with the stages of atlas dying
mighty rampart
and so it controls the sentinels and starts yeeting freighters, planets and even the other multiverses
shadow rock
Oof
mighty rampart
like a sick mentally disturbed doctor diagnosing itself

You gotta feel a little sorry for it

yes but it is also canon that we are also part of this simulation

@haughty rover well abandoned solar system have a destroyed space station, with pre-NEXT space station setup. Most buildings are overran by gooey things that you can find in abandoned buildings.
While uncharted solar systems do not have any space stations nor settlements.

@haughty rover most planets are airless with no fauna or flora
Only those resource plants
And also cave marrow
Kinda funny how lush caves can be in dead planets
haughty rover
đ
Might just do a normal one then and find me a dead planet. Don't want em all being dead
@mighty rampart I could still find dead planets in the green galaxy?
icy citrus
Stop looking in yellow for them
The spawn rates for planets in the different galaxies only affect yellow star systems
So you will see more lush in the yellow systems in a Lush galaxy, but the other stars have the same chance for planet types as Euclid or any other
haughty rover
đ
icy citrus
If you like seeing dead planets, go for the dead one - you will still find every other kind of biome
It will just make the dead ones more frequent in yellow systems
I prefer a lot of lush, so Eissentam works for me

They wiped out some galaxy? Anyway from lore we know that they are at war with that at that war-like aliens and that sentinels genocide everybody who oppose them.
haughty rover
Yea the mission for the freighter they mentioned it took them 56 minutes to kill everyone in a different galaxy or something
haughty rover
I don't like my new galaxy reloading and telling the atlas to go fuck it's self
jovial stag
@idle gorge once installed in your suit it allows you to see the systems that contain black holes on the galaxy map
jovial stag
they do... if you do a explorer jump + black hole = 10k Ly closer to the centre
idle gorge
I need to do 62 blackholes then...
jovial stag
Getting to the Core...
- Get in an explorer/exotic ship, fully upgraded with 6 hyperdrive upgrades for max warp distance
- Plot a route to a system with a black hole*, heading in the direction of the core, close to the max range of the ship
- You may need to get in to free roam mode in the galaxy map, Xbox = B a couple of times, PC = right click a couple of times
- you can then move freely and select a system close to the max jump range of the ship you're in.
- Warp to destination system
- Summon freighter
- Change in to C class ship with no upgrades at all ||(no upgrades = no damage from black hole use)||
- Use black hole
- Summon freighter, land and change ship to Explorer/Exotic
- Optional: Every so often land on a planet and make a manual save
- Go to 2
with the above method you jump about 10,000 Ly and you will bounce from one side of the galaxy to the other, but you'll eventually get close to the centre
- ||If you complete the Atlas Path then you will be given an item that can be installed in to your suit that will show all systems with black holes on the galaxy map, thus making them easy to spot and use.||
idle gorge
Problem is
I have 5 haulers and 1 exotic
and each hauler is like full of stuff
Wait nvm, I got a c class hauler with has no upgrades
uncut harness
remember the tech in the tech slots does not break through the holes, only the tech in the cargo slots
so you can fit all your hyperdrive upgrades in the tech slots, leave the cargo slots without tech, and traverse as many holes as you want without having to change ships
pine badger
Greetings.
Lots of red Star Systems don't have info on them in the Galaxy map. Do I need something to get more info or is just the way they are?
Thank you.

Some of the strings for the ||ship-scrapping stuff|| have been removed...
Oh, but something interesting new... ||A technology module harvested from the remains of a salvaged starship. May also be collected from freighter crash sites or salvaged during frigate expeditions. At the appropriate Starship Outfitters, may be used to expand starship storage capacity.||
What no spoilering long code now?
pine badger
Wait. What? Starship storage expansion? Please elaborate or give source. đ

Source is the game's language stuff... May be something that'll be coming in the update that will address a whole heap of community requests. We hope to be able to release this fairly soon
idle jay
That upcoming update is going to be interesting
mental socket
anything else that was added there?
violet narwhal
No other sign of new features, no.
foggy jacinth
thanks for sharing, @violet narwhal
jovial stag
@uncut harness said ... so you can fit all your hyperdrive upgrades in the tech slots, leave the cargo slots without tech, and traverse as many holes as you want without having to change ships yes you could fit all 3 hyperdrive upgrades in the tech slots but all you can fit in one inventory is 3 upgrades so the other 3 would have to go in general, fitting a 4th upgrade would overload them all until you removed one then the other 3 would work again.
uncut harness
I have not played in a while, I probably don't recall correctly, but I thing 12 tech slots are enough for a fully upgraded hyperdrive
@jovial stag ^
icy citrus
You can have 6 S modules for it, but can only do 3 in tech and 3 in main, so no
icy citrus
Yes, suit also
jovial stag
in an exotic you have 6 tech slots, the max upgrades you can have is 6 (so max 6 hyperdrive upgrades) BUT you can only have 3 per inventory... so 3 in general and 3 in tech
icy citrus
Blueprint upgrades don't count against the cap, so some can have more than 6
uncut harness
well, thanks, I learned something today
jovial stag
so if using black holes the 3 in general will be damaged unless you want to reduce the jump range and only fir the 3 to tech
foggy jacinth
It'd be useful if blueprints and modules had a different enough look when they're installed that it'd be obvious which count against the three.
uncut harness
so I might go with an explorer not fully upgraded but black hole safe, or fully upgraded and not safe
jovial stag
yes works for everything that has tech slots... so most things apart from the Multitool which, sadly, has no tech slots (would be very handy if it did)
uncut harness
does someone has some jump range numbers for ships with 3 and 6 ugrades?
jovial stag
on one save I used the starter ship on another I bought a shuttle then swapped it for a hauler when i got to the core as I could then just teleport
depends on the bonus' for the ships
icy citrus
I have my fighters range - 850ish with 3, 1500ish with 6
jovial stag
my exotic does about 2400 with 6 same as an explorer with 6 no idea on 3 though
uncut harness
thanks, that's about the double
foggy jacinth
2400 is about the max, I think.
foggy jacinth
Gah, I always forget the modules vary a lot. Good point.
uncut harness
"Black holes will always move you closer to the centre by approximately 7,000 light-years (+/- 1,000 ly)"
if you are travelling to the center, from 3 to 6 upgrades would not reduce the number of jumps
significantly*, I mean
how many light years are there from the starting position to the center? To estimate the number of jumps, đ
foggy jacinth
Generally 600,000 to 700,000, I think.
icy citrus
Yep, I'm sure some have started a bit closer but that is the norm
uncut harness
700000/(7000+850)=89.17
700000/(7000+1500)=82.35
icy citrus
Yeah, you wouldn't use a fighter for it though
Generally speaking, you would warp to a hole 2k out, then jump - average about 10k per jump used
uncut harness
700000/(7000+1200)=85.36
700000/(7000+2400)=74.46
(inventing that 1200)
icy citrus
10 less jumps, 2 load screens per jump (warp and blackhole), finding the hole on the map - probably saves what, 20 minutes đ¤ˇ
No biggie then
uncut harness
remember you have to stop to repair unless you have stocked enough materials
uncut harness
I don't remember, what resources are needed to repair those S hyperdrive upgrades?
I think
Chromatic Metal x75 + Magnetised Ferrite x13 + Wiring Loom x1
icy citrus
There you gođ
uncut harness
bah, the easisest mats to stock up
I will go with the 6 upgrades next time
now I only need to figure out how to disitribute those mats to fill the 38-3 remainng slots, lol
foggy jacinth
Keep in mind that the warp screen is a loading screen. When you warp to a system with only 1 or 2 planets, the warp is significantly shorter.
icy citrus
jovial stag
@foggy jacinth sometimes the RNG gods smile on you...
foggy jacinth
Nice! Are you pointing out the hyperdrive range?
jovial stag
I am.. just got one of those White ones (the Squid) mentioned earlier and max I can get is 2406, so was really lucky with the 2543... not that you can jump that far anyway as usually the system you want is just a little to far so you have to just not jump as far but even 2300 is not that bad
foggy jacinth
2543 is further than any of my exotics, I think.
jovial stag
think I was just lucky with the range of each upgrade, will check next time I play... assuming I haven't done anything stupid like exchanged that ship for something else...
pine badger
Has the time one beats all pirates anything to do with the Class of Freighter that spawns? Been "farming" a load save to try to get an S class Freitghter and so far only Class B in an Advanced Star System. Any pointers?
icy citrus
Not really anything else to do - the time doesn't matter for the class
pine badger
Thank you @icy citrus.
jovial stag
if you've found a system where a freighter with the colour/style you like spawns then it will eventually spawn as an S class its just the when... that's in the hands of the RNG gods.
icy citrus
jovial stag
and are you warping in to the system every time or did you create a save on the station after warping in with a triggered space rescue?
pine badger
@jovial stag, I created a save at my base. The System I warp to is in range.
I altered the system name to Include [Sentinel] so I know that there is the full sized sentinel I want.
baby blue sentinel. đ
jovial stag
It's simpler to warp in to the system and ignore the fighting, land on the station get out then back in your ship (creates a save) then enter fight and once done board freighter and see if the stats are what you want (use the visor in the hanger it'll show you what class/slots the freighter has so no need to visit the captain, unless its S34:4 đ ) and if the stats are not what you want then reload save and leave station again and enter the fight... rinse and repeat until you get the stats you want. @pine badger
pine badger
Oh. Thank you, @jovial stag, for the same space station as the fight save tip.

Farming Freighters 101
pine badger
What is the real advantage and or difference between an A34+4 and an S34+4?
icy citrus
Warp range
pine badger
And that is important for a Capital ship because?
icy citrus
It isn't, unless you warp with it
pine badger
Warp in it? How and what is that achieved?
(Sorry I've been holding back on Freighters because I wanted to find an full length S class. But now it all seems futile.)
foggy jacinth
And even if you do warp with it, a fully tricked out explorer/exotic can warp further.
icy citrus
You can use your freighter to warp, like you do your starship
foggy jacinth
I'm one of the ones who would advise against an S-class freighter. If you luck into one, great! but they're not worth the effort of grinding for one.
icy citrus
It will have a better range than anything other than a decent explorer or exotic
pine badger
Thought so. Will grab this full length A34+4 and might stick with it.
Thanks again for all your time and patience. đ

Weekend Event spoiler: ||If you have them, take living pearls||
foggy jacinth
Interesting. People on the Anomaly ||are now giving out living pearls.||
|| I got 30 just signing up for a QS mission||
jovial stag
@pine badger if you use the freighter to warp then you do not need any hyperdrive upgrades, so you can jump in to any system you like, the only thing that will now take a little time is the Freighter hyperdrive upgrades as you now require frigate modules to unlock them from the bridge console. But if memory serves a fully upgraded A rated freighter will jump about 1900 Ly and an S rated one about 2150
pine badger
@foggy jacinth you might know that already but they're using the duplication glitch... cheaters will be cheaters.
jovial stag
that's still a thing? the dupe glitch
pine badger
Thank you for the detailed update, @jovial stag.
Would be nice to have an S class freighter. I guess I'll stick to the current one until I have the patience to go hunt for one.
foggy jacinth
maybe. I keep a ton of pearls lying around.

@hybrid pendant Glyphs for the Week 1 portal.
hybrid pendant
thanks
pine badger
? "week 1"?
hybrid pendant
now i need to find a portal
foggy jacinth
Text dump:
Every planetary body in the game has a portal. To find them, first, find a monolith. There are two ways to do that.
- If you have an exocraft with upgraded scanners, you can scan for an Alien Structure.
- If you don't have an exocraft, buy some cartographic maps from the cartographer on a space station.
2a) If you buy only 1 map, you'll always get the same kind from that cartographer. If you buy 5 or 10, you'll get a mix.
2b) Use an Ancient Artifacts map to find a monolith. It may take a few tries, as these maps find Monoliths, Plaques and Ruins.
Once you've found a monolith, SAVE FIRST, and then answer it's question. Then, activate it again and feed it the relic belonging to the species of that system (Korvax Casing, Vy'Keen dagger, Gek Relic).
It will say something about ley lines, and will reveal the icon for the portal on that planet.
pine badger
I'm just setting up farm of almost all minerals so I can no longer worry with the grinding.
I wish I could move a base computer without deleting the whole base... so annoying.
foggy jacinth
Agreed, but I can see the programming reason.
pine badger
Just program it to be able to move the computer in a radius that it already uses. Or place another within the radius and allow transfer between the 2.
The code will do whatever you tell him to do.
foggy jacinth
đ¤ˇ
pine badger
đ I know it's not you.
foggy jacinth
Once you build enough bases, you learn to take it into account before you ever put down the computer. A trick I learned here: use the terrain manipulator in Create mode to make a tiny hill, put the computer on that, and then slide a wood/metal/concrete floor under it. Then you can have it inside.
pine badger
one of mine is just hovering inside a metal room below my base. đ
Placed a short range teleporter and it's easy moving.
had to place a short range teleporter because I kept being pushed down under the base.
foggy jacinth
Well, unsurprisingly, restarting your save lands you back on the Anomaly, if you do it mid-Community Event. || I got hung up in my ship in the antennae of the freighter, so had to restart. Hmmm. What would have happened if I'd let myself die?||

foggy jacinth
I mean, on the Community Event mission.
pine badger
Any tips tricks to "farm" walker brains?
foggy jacinth
Killing walkers is easy once you learn the trick. I'd recommend taking a quicksilver mission for raiding a supply depot. There's always a Walker right there right away. But shooting any sentinel, and staying in battle, will spawn a walker eventually.
foggy jacinth
legs first - bottom, then thigh. Then the head. Hide behind a personal shield while you reload. It's "the legs then head" that I consider the trick.
Yeah, the quads are much tougher. I'm told you can one-shot them if you hit the red glowing butt, but I never can.
pine badger
I can only place 3 shields on the jetpack. it breaks if I try to place another.
pine badger
MP?
foggy jacinth
The personal shield is a Multi-tool blueprint. Sorry.
Too much talk about multiplayer today.
pine badger
only have one there. can more be placed?
foggy jacinth
No, just one Personal Shield. It's unfortunately named. But on PS4, you trigger it with your left bumper, and it puts up a glowing blue shield you can hide behind while you reload.
pine badger
Well. walker brains seem to be just for conflict scanner and drones. I don't think I will use those...
foggy jacinth
Personal Forcefield, maybe.
icy citrus
I use nades - one for doggies, 3-4 for walkers
pine badger
yep. same blue glowing shield on pc
foggy jacinth

The biggest thing to remember: Always surf them first
foggy jacinth
Nades kill me much more often than they kill sentinels. LOL. I've given up.

Nades all the way... đ
makes things simplez
and teaches a great lesson.... watch that trigger finger...
foggy jacinth
I have such a beef with that ... in a totally different game. LOL
foggy jacinth
@hollow lion There are multiple ways to go to a different galaxy. There are 255 of them, total. Mission-wise, when you finish the Artemis questline, you'll get the opportunity to "reset" the universe, which actually gives you a choice of 4 new galaxies to go to, choose one. The most popular one from that choose is Eissentam, a galaxy with a higher percentage of lush planets.
You can go to the center of any galaxy, and it will take you to the next galaxy in the sequence. The one after Euclid, the starting Galaxy, is the Hilbert Dimension.
If you're lucky or persistent, you can find a base in a different galaxy on the bases shown at the Teleporter Terminal on the Anomaly.
Or you can ask for a ride - join the game of another player who is currently in a different galaxy. Warp away from them and put down a base in an unpopulated system. Then you can always use a teleporter to return to the 2nd galaxy.
for any of these, it's important to put down a base in Euclid first, so you can always get back to Euclid. Always put a base down in a galaxy you want to return to.
hollow lion
Ohhhh okay, wow thatâs a lot of galaxies, thanks for the info. I think the quickest way for me would probably be the anomaly teleporter
foggy jacinth
Some folks will name their bases things like "Euclid Core" or "Eissentam Hub" which can give you a clue, but mostly, just try one and see. Your discoveries tab will change when you're in a different galaxy.
The new patch (unreleased for anyone but PC Experimental) puts the name of your current galaxy on the galaxy map, a change they needed to make 3 years ago LOL.
icy citrus
Eh
I haven't ever been confused what galaxy I was in personally
But with the ease you can switch now, makes sense
foggy jacinth
No, but some beginners are. Especially when they're not yet comfortable with how the system works.
hollow lion
I get what you mean, I can see featured bases, hopefully I can go to another galaxy
dusk sorrel
The name of the galaxy on the galactic map is out on live, I saw it on PC yesterday with no experimental
hollow lion
How long is the story mode ?
foggy jacinth
@dusk sorrel huh, so it is. I see it on PS4 as well.
@hollow lion That's a really hard question. This isn't a game like most others where there is a definitive end point. The named quests (Artemis, Atlas, etc) can probably be done completely in 20ish hours, and another 10 hours to push to the core, if you want to do that. But I'm still doing new things after 1200 hours, so.
gleaming rune
Alright team, I finished the story and I still don't have any atlas passes. Do I need to hold polo upside-down and shake him or
cloud nacelle
Do the things that Nada and Polo tell you to do
gleaming rune
I did
foggy jacinth
Atlas passes are now found at Manufacturing Facilities. Not with the Atlas or Nada or Polo
foggy jacinth
That changed with BEYOND.
pale fossil
Wait, I remember getting the Atlas v3 blueprint from a manufacturing facility when playing after the Atlas Rising update
So it's changed quite a while ago probably....
foggy jacinth
I suppose I should rephrase. Pre-BEYOND, you got your blueprints pretty randomly. Sometimes you could get the atlas pass blueprints directly from Polo. Sometimes you got them from damaged machinery. Now, in BEYOND, the manufacturing facilities have a dedicated tech tree you can peruse and buy the blueprints you want. It's no longer RNG. And Atlas Passes are on that tech tree.
pale fossil
Ah yeah
That makes more sense
I feel the tech tree system makes the game a bit too easy
At least from the manufacturing facilities stand point
The rest of them at the Nexus are useful
Like, it's significantly easier to get everything needed to have a stasis device farm
foggy jacinth
Others think so too. I don't play NMS for a challenge, I play it to relax. One of my saves really got screwed by RNG for the atlas passes. I didn't get the first one until literally 100 hours into the game. I prefer the tech tree.
pale fossil
Atlas passes could be mission based
So you get them as you progress through the story. The rest of the stuff could be RNG
Or one option could be to remove the tech tree from survival mode and keep it in normal
foggy jacinth
𤡠the current system is pretty good for my style of play. Much preferable to the previous one.
foggy jacinth
jovial stag
the original way to get the Atlas Passes was a little hit and miss, I got the v1 from Polo after meeting him for the first time, yet on another play through I got the V3 one on a first visit to a manufacturing facility thus leaving the v1 and v2 useless and no longer required... so for me the current system is a lot better as its the players choice as to which blueprints they unlock and in what order...
pale fossil
Yeah but the stasis device thing is way too easy imo
jovial stag
perhaps it is, BUT there are other blueprints you require in order to make the stasis device/fusion ignitors
in fact I would guess, without checking, that you may require all the blueprints on the Valuable Products tree... so... not that easy to get...
crisp fern
It's really silly that they gut the blueprint finding system, which definitely wasn't perfect, and yet keep the similarly imperfect but more recently introduced RNG upgrade module system
Like...Why? They could have kept the old upgrade blueprints and had you unlock them tech tree style too, had they not switched many of them over to being modules
pale fossil
Actually, I agree with making the upgrade system tech-tree style
I just reconfigured my multi-tool and it's quite frustrating looking around for scatter blaster upgrade modules now....
jovial stag
unless its been fixed, find a station that sells the module you want... buy it install it, get in and out of your ship then reload and rebuy it.... đ

@foggy jacinth, after some attempts I think I found the perfect base naming for me.
I just use NEO-G010-Core-Copper-[Portal].
It can be a bit confusing for others but it works for me.
My name - Galaxy number - Edge or Core - Resource - [in case the base is set at a Portal]
This way it also helps others to go visit in case they're interested in that galaxy or resource when I'm in the Anomaly.
alpine blaze
that's pretty smart
that's similar to how i name my bases when i set them up randomly while travelling
makes it easier to clean up/delete later
strong bluff
I wonder how travellers originally looked in the lore? As we know that they were changed by teleporting, space travelling and by other things, like sentinels. đ¤
pine badger
Aren't travellers Atlas creations and the Atlas is a creation of the creator?
strong bluff
Yep. But I think that Artemis says that she originally looked different than how we see her. And Atlas does have some creator? I thought that it is ultimate creator of everything in the universe.
pine badger
From what I understand, the Atlas was created by "someone" else. Not sure.
strong bluff
More lore to uncover then... Nice.
cloud nacelle
Each race in nms has their own atlas
But the atlas does have a creator and it was humans
And the atlas is facing a threat in the real world and created the anomaly or us to replicate it's creator to find a way out of it's threat
Which is being swallowed by a black hole
Yes the engine is being swallowed by a black hole and it senses it's incoming doom so it tries to simulate a way out
But it can't
But it knows it has 16 minutes left
strong bluff
I wonder how fast the time in simulation runs opposite to real world´s one, as I think these 16 minutes are in "alien scale".
cloud nacelle
Yup
That's why our player is hardly worried
Since this alien scale can be thousands of years for a second passing
Since the atlas is the creator of that alien scale it can decide how fast time passes so it can look for the solution
In a good amount of time
strong bluff
And still fail to find that. I also wonder if flying through the black hole (though it should be called as worm hole instead) in game has any importance to Atlas to check if it can fly through black hole and survive. đ¤
sharp tendon
exotic planets and weird biomes become more common as the atlas dies and the chromatic planets are supposed to be the atlas having whatever the equivalent of a sentient machine god panic attack is
pine badger
@strong bluff. Agree. Should be called worm hole. Even more since they occur hundreds of times in one galaxy.
foggy jacinth
It allows you to see black holes on the galactic map. It also gives you a small health boost.
strong bluff
What's difference between star seed and black hole coordinates from Polo? đ¤
foggy jacinth
You don't have to go back to the Anomaly with the star seed, and you see all the black holes. There's one in every region.
They're star icons on the galactic map.
In a 2000 jump, I might pass 10-15 black hole systems.
strong bluff
Nice.
gleaming rune
Ok so to be clear
When I center, I keep my ships and freighter
And I can still teleport back to my Euclid bases, yeah?
crisp fern
yeah, but if you want to revisit the galaxy you've hopped to, you'll want to set down a base computer & such first before jumping back
sharp tendon
getting back to euclid is no prob, but if you go back without making a save point in the new galaxy you're gonna have to go journey to center again lmao
strong bluff
Why look back, when there is entire journey before us?

No. Atlas passes now come from Manufacturing Facilities. The Atlas path brings you a ton of lore, and a lot of language words, and two things you end up getting blueprints for (while crafting a number of other things in order to get to them). A Heart of the Sun lets you see all the black holes on the galaxy map. And a Remembrance gives you access to back rooms that have a huge servers in them, and more lore. Both give you a bit of a health boost as well.
When you go onto an atlas station, there will be a bunch of glowing white balls on the floor. Walk over them. They give you words. Fastest way to learn langauges in the game.
misty citrus
So if the orbs don't give me a word it means it's one I already knew? I kept running over them and nothing happened
foggy jacinth
Hm. Could be a bug, could be you've maxed out that language. The station will only give the words once per visit, so you can't turn around and go learn more, or visit the station in the same star system twice and get words.
misty citrus
Oh I'm on like my fifth station in this questline, was just wondering
foggy jacinth
I haven't done the Atlas Path in a long time.
misty citrus
When I checked the wiki before it said Atlas Passes came from Polo/Nada, and they've never given me items, just locations
foggy jacinth
That changed in BEYOND.
misty citrus
Ohhh so it's just outdated
foggy jacinth
yup
Hm. The page has been updated since BEYOND. Grrr...
I'll edit it later if I get time.

quick question, does anyone have screenshots of all the story bits from last weekend's community story?
foggy jacinth
I do. I'll upload them. Give me a few minutes.

ok cool thanks

Same here

foggy jacinth
@fast spoke because of the way this dumb free image sharing site works, start at the end, with the knowledge stones: https://ibb.co/album/gk71tv Someone on reddit has a video walkthrough too ,but it was done late, so there are bases built, and such.
crisp fern
Also do note that the knowledge stones vary between runs, not sure how many variants there are to them
icy citrus
Here are some of the variations https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/weekend-event/6802/36?u=singulargleam

What are these back rooms with the remembrance? Where are they?
I have the remembrance installed but I donât recall finding any âback roomsâ. Granted I havenât looked
icy citrus
There are rooms on stations that need atlas pass v3, behind some of these are a terminal that requires the remembrance to use. They give a bit of lore
That was long before Next

Ahhh gotcha. Never found an atlas pass yet so that explains it

The thing you need to collect for this week's community event is ||electric cubes||
tulip tangle
the fuck is an ||electric cube|| lol
foggy jacinth
The ||thing you collect on the wire cell planets. You get sent to one, and there's at least 1 cube right by the portal, so grab it before you head to the site.||
gleaming rune
Wait so ||What specifically is killing the Atlas||
||Is it just failing or is something happening to it||
jovial stag
its failing.... but the time scale, and thus the actual time to failure is unknown....
gleaming rune
Omg is that what it is
Somebody is literally in the process of plugging it back in and in those few seconds the ATLAS is simulating thousands of scenarios of its own death in a brief spell of panic
mighty rampart
yeah we have no clue on what caused it to fail aside from some cryptic ideas

Back in 1.3 it was a blackhole I believe, I'm not sure what it is now

Greetings.
I'm in Permadeath and am not receiving any bounty from destroying spaceships.
Is that normal or am I missing something.
Thank you.
mighty rampart
@pine badger yeah its an old glitch, sometimes you dont get the bounty
pine badger
Ok then. never got the bounty thus far. :(... Thank you.
strong bluff
The game didn´t tell me about got bounty, so it must be broken in latest updates.
I did report that anyway.
!HG
Ah, bot doesn´t send link there.
pine badger
Same. It shows there is a bounty but when I kill it, nothing...
strong bluff
I didn´t check money, but exosuit AI doesn´t say "Units received." and sometimes (even during pirate attack) even not "Hostile ships defeated."
Which reminds me that after last pirate attack I didn´t get reputation for killing pirates.
Unless it was due Vrykens (warrior aliens) telling me that I am their bounty.
foggy jacinth
Some info on Biomes || A list of all the biomes in the game. The various names in the columns are just labels, "paradise" doesn't actually mean that, it just means it's a "lush" biome. ||
pine badger
Is indetectable burning indication of a planet with no storms? Appears to say so in the wiki.
It says it's part of an Exotic Biome.
foggy jacinth
Exotics tend not to have storms. That's why I build on so many of the HydroGarden planets (Fungal, Sporal, Capped). They have grass, look a lot like lush planets without trees, and don't have predators, exploding gas bag fauna (or other dangerous fauna), and no storms.
spice gorge
desert canyon
Ok plz tell
foggy jacinth
There are multiple ways to go to a different galaxy. There are 255 of them, total. (Almost) everyone start in Euclid.
For any of these, it's important to put down a base in Euclid first, so you can always get back to Euclid. Always put a base down in a galaxy you want to return to.
Mission-wise, when you finish the Artemis questline, you'll get the opportunity to "reset" the universe, which actually gives you a choice of 4 new galaxies to go to, choose one. The most popular one from that choose is Eissentam, a galaxy with a higher percentage of lush planets.
You can go to the center of any galaxy, and it will take you to the next galaxy in the sequence. The one after Euclid is the Hilbert Dimension.
If you're lucky or persistent, you can find a base in a different galaxy on the bases shown at the Teleporter Terminal on the Anomaly.
Or you can ask for a ride - join the game of another player who is currently in a different galaxy. Warp away from them and put down a base in an unpopulated system. Then you can always use a teleporter to return to the 2nd galaxy.
- know that currently, there's a bug such that when you join another player's game, you may lose all of your discoveries (flora/fauna etc). They're still on the server, just not in your discoveries list, and they'll show as undiscovered when you scan them again.
foggy jacinth
Yes, 1 universe. The terminology is weird there.
desert canyon
Ok
foggy jacinth
Well, no. The Atlas has generated multiple universes. Each of us, as Anomalies, are placed into their own universe. But play-wise, there's 1.
desert canyon
Ok thx
gleaming rune
So did they mess with the story a bit after 1.3
mighty rampart
A LOT
The base is the same though
But the dialogues, items etc have been revamped

|| i got to the quest where you have to go to the center of the galaxy to purge or something, and im worried because it says The purge atlas sequence 2/16, what happens if it reaches 16? do i lose all of my stuff? ||
foggy jacinth
No, reaching 16 is good.
strong bluff
If it´s what I think it, you´ll then get to choice if you want either to do the purge and thus enter the new galaxy, which means that you´ll start again at new planet, you´ll keep all your stuff, but you´ll have every tech broken on both exosuit and spaceship. Idk if freighter is brought to new one, but you can´t return to previous galaxy unless you have built there base.

Each time you get a 'data injection' you're learning a new glyph

If you refuse it, you can then stay in your galaxy and loose nothing.

What exactly is NipNip for?
foggy jacinth
selling. There's no real other use for it.
pine badger
So we basicaly become drug dealers?
foggy jacinth
In earlier versions of the game, nip nip farms were a pretty good way to make money. That's gone by the wayside now, so now it's just the mystique. At the very least, they could make it a cooking ingredient, and mix it with chocolate,for brownies, but... that might be too overt, ya know?
