So this dreams of the deep mission led me to a bunch of shit and i wound up with a bunch of dead crew members. Any other purpose to that mission tjan the underwater blueprints? Loved the way it read like a weird science mag crossed with some lovecraft
mighty rampart
keep continuing the mission for a quirky reward
dusky stag
Its finished. Theyre all dead...
mighty rampart
You didn't get the helmet?

I am at the last part of the atlas path and also the purge.
How are the states of these missions altered depending on what I choose upon entering a new galaxy?
I would like to do both at some point, I'm aware of a blueprint you can only get by completing the atlas path.
mighty rampart
@uncut harness atlas path is unrelated with Artemis quest, you eventually either randomly get the station marked on the map and being interactable or you'll need to ask polo multiple times until the mission triggers
But no it doesn't matter what kind of galaxy you go to, the atlas path will still work
Maybe

Guys I finished the Artemis mission last night, and got the remembrance. but it's says that I need to acquire Modified Quanta. and I also need heart of sun to create the remembrance. I visited endless amount of secured facilities to get the blueprint but still got nothing 😦 am I doing it wrong or is it an RNG thing ?
icy citrus
Need to do the Atlas Path
marble elk
🤔 but Polo isn't giving me the Atlas coordinates 😦
marble elk
1- Space anomaly
2- New beginnings
icy citrus
What does Polo give for options when you chat them up?
marble elk
1 ask for Atlas and Asl for Black hole
but when I choose Atlas it says that coordinates are sent to my ship but can't see anything in the map or else way
it doesn' trigger or somehting
icy citrus
Can you filter for it in the map? It is an option, but can't always switch to it
icy citrus
I can only think of 3 options
- Get really lucky and warp to one on accident.
- Join someone in a system with one (I like this one)
- Report as bug and wait and pray
Galaxy shouldn't matter
Have you tried hitting polo up in multiple systems? Probably
marble elk
yup I tried asking him several times, I think i might have done this in 4-5 different systems. I will try the 2nd option with a friend. and I will also report a bug. Getting lucky is not really my thing 😂 I get lucky with bugs instead
icy citrus
Np
mighty rampart
@marble elk what's your achievement rank? You can check that in the catalogue
Once you hit pathfinder or above, then when you check the galaxy map it will point at an atlas station and start the quest
marble elk
@mighty rampart you mean the journey milestone
mighty rampart
Oh right yeah
marble elk
Galileo
mighty rampart
Yeah then the mission should start anytime soon now, it's pretty bugged tbh
It didn't start for me until about 2 months later
marble elk
I think its bugged for me, this save i have is from the release date on ps4, and then missed several updated. i haven't played the game since the base building was introduced
I wasn't sure if I was doing it wrong or if it was a bug. but look like it's bugged
mighty rampart
yeah it is, I started 2 new games, one was before beyond and the other post beyond, post beyond one just randomly decided to start the atlas seeds quest even though I tried to force it before by talking with Polo, and if I visited a station it would just tell me politely to fuck off
marble elk
😂
mighty rampart
pre-beyond save still hasnt started the atlas seeds quest
marble elk
well then I guess I will just do other things, fixe my ship that got fucked when restarting the simulation, and try to get me one of those beautiful exotic ships until Atlas decides that I am worthy to talk to 😂
tight acorn
Is Artemis’s Translator any use after his segment of the story?
All it’s doing for me is taking up a slot
mighty rampart
@tight acorn it becomes non functional if you didn't upload him to the simulation
Otherwise it still does work, and you can pair it with the rest of the translation tech and have 7 words be translated in total
tight acorn
Doesn’t seem worth that much, I did save him though

so i'm at the purge - reset the simulation. i need to enter the final portal. once i finish this storyline, what will happen to my base/items/etc?
also, can the purge be multiplayer?
fringe jungle
You keep your base, ships, items, tools etc. If you choose to go to a new galaxy, a lot of things willl be broken and need repair, just like your starter ship at the beginning. If you plan on choosing that option, I suggest having your worst ship and/or multitool equipped, and stocking up on basica like wiring looms before you go.
placid igloo
so is the new galaxy like a new game plus, kind of? also, can i still visit the first galaxy if i choose to go to a new one?
fringe jungle
yes yoiu can go back and forth anytime though the teleport portal
jsut be sure the drop a base computer in the new galaxy
supposedly they fixed that, but I haven't seen anyone confirm and it would stick to go back to Euclid and get stuck there
fringe jungle
yw!
uncut harness
i went to euclid and then went back to hilbert dimension using a teleporter portal
fringe jungle
without a base in hilbert?
uncut harness
no i had a base in hilbert
fringe jungle
wish I'd thought to do a manual save before going to Elkupalos to test that
would be nice to get rid of that gotcha
tight acorn
So.....
I need to get to the center of the Euclid galaxy
Is there an address for a planet near the center
Sorry I have no idea why I pinged you
fringe jungle
I left Euclid via quest, I left Eissentam via a lot of warps and black hole joyrides. Then only shortcut, AFAIK, is joining a game that's already there and dropping a base comp. You can't do it via glyphs and portals.
tight acorn
I’m on the quest, is there a faster way than manually warping and wasting fuel to warp to black holes?
fringe jungle
when you get to the end, one of the options sends you to a new galaxy
fringe jungle
a new galaxy is a lot like the old galaxy. Some people just stay in Euclid.
tight acorn
So if I do place a base on any part of a system, someone said that I could warp to it
Where would I warp?
And by that I mean does it just give me the ability to choose the space station
fringe jungle
you can use the teleporterin space stations to warp to you base computers. no portal is needed at the other end.
if you want to portal out, you need to build and power one

You can do the Atlas Path after you reset the simulation.

About the Atlas Path, ||does the choice to birth a star actually create a new star?||

tight acorn
||i meant was there a new system nearby that it alerted you to or something||

@tight acorn it basically doesn't "birth a star" but just sends you to semi random place in the galaxy, implying you started a new solar system

Hi -kzzztt- everyone
foggy jacinth
UNless it's bugged, yeah, it ends.
@weak pawn That was a general answer. Which mission are you doing, and what is it asking for? The wiki usually has a semi-detailed step-by-step for each mission.
Make the mission active, and you should get a directional icon. -null- can be found on planet surfaces.
Ah. I'm caught up now. Have you reloaded the game?
Then, as in all of those sitations, I'd stick a pin in it and do other things for awhile. But, || -null- is at a holoterminal, so if you see one of those, visit it and I bet -null- will pop up||
I don't think you can find that structure with maps, so I'd find a dusty/barren planet, and fly low and in 3rd person. Those planets seem to be the easiest ones to spot structures on.

Hi guys I need help with finding glyphs would doing the quest be the fastest and easiest way to gain them? I ask here due to possibly getting spoilers which is fine with me

@deft moss read this: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Glyph and the quickest way to get them is via the travellers otherwise you have to wait until you're near the end of the Artemis questline...
deft moss
@jovial stag I think I’m almost near the end I’m talking to all three species atm is that close or I’m i still far away?
jovial stag
The mission that gives them for nothing is The Purge if you go the traveller route each one will cost 100 nanites so 1600 nanites in total for all 16 if you have none to start with
it used to be the 16/16 mission but it got changed for some reason...

For the Artemia path if I reset the simulation nothing happens but just takes me to another galaxy correct?
All I have stays and also bases I can go back to and continue my exploring in both galaxy’s?? And does it effect the atlas mission?

I just kept thinking
they're just going to keep existing in every other iteration

So might as well get some information out of it
mighty rampart
"sorry Artemis I know you'd want to peacefully pass on but I gotta keep you alive inside of this one solar system so that you can help me translate 1 word during alien conversations"
cloud nacelle
The echo is not stuck in a loop, it's just a remainder of them like a soul. The other iterations of Artemis exist but aren't trapped and have no knowledge of our Artemis.
It's much better to let her die
Since you just resurrected her and trapped her in a simulation with one star system
wicked cedar
And yet that’s exactly what we are. A thought in a machine just like Artemis; God’s panic attack over it’s own impending death, and by killing her you are telling Atlas you’re not worth the processing power. I love this sci fi.

Can I just say I like how NMS characters straight up say that it was a morally difficult choice and that you did what you thought was best either way? I feel like most games would have just kicked you in the side no mater which option you picked.

story wise, you place the atlas seed in the device it tells you at the last atlas station, and it births a new star, expanding the galaxy and then you can visit that star

@mighty rampart So I don't actually get sent to another galaxy or anything.
mighty rampart
No, that's the main story that does that, the end of the Artemis path
If you submit to the atlas instead of refusing, it lets you "start over" by letting you go to a new galaxy, the kind of galaxy is also a choice
4 choices, empty (Budullangr, most planets are dead), harsh (Calypso, most planets are extreme), norm (Hilbert, same as Euclid), lush (Eissentam, most planets are lush)

and its pretty fine
I guess its because my volumetric effects are on standard

I wonder if anyone's trying to go through all the galaxies.
mighty rampart
@heavy mortar is
spiral cliff
How long does it take to go through each galaxy?
Do the questlines reset?
I know you keep your freighter and other shit.
strong bluff
I don't know but you can make it faster with black holes. I think that Wiki mentioned two hours per galaxy if you only use blackholes and get lucky to use the fastest ones.
tired vale
2 hours is real understatement. Even with black holes it takes damn long time to get to the center.
Honestly, best bet is hitching a ride closer to the center.
And no, quests do not reset. Atlas path seems to kinda reset, but then again it doesn’t. It kinda bugs out sometimes, for example you complete the atlas path in euclid, and the quest disappears, then you get to new galaxy it comes back, but the first atlas station is the same as the last one, requiring another heart of the sun again and does fuck all when you put it in. No extra rewards or anything.
spiral cliff
Still, fully building out a freighter with a Fleet seems like it'd be nice for a nomadic run through all the galaxies.
strong bluff
Also nice is that when you send frigates on expeditions, you can see them on Galaxy map and encounter them if you are in same star system.
Though I remember reading that multiplayer messed freighter stuff up, that it shows only host´s one or something.

This is probably a spoiler, but I have the feeling the temperatures within each Atlas Interface are intentional

Aren't the temperatures different in space stations too?

i'm gonna start tracking the numbers, as here's the part that makes me think it's significant:
The temperature, rads, and toxicity are all the same in an atlas station
21.1C, 21.1tox, 21.1rads
cloud nacelle
Well yeah
The number 16 is repeated a lot so other numbers would too get repeated
Like 1/1/1/1/ was repeated too
So I think 21.1/21.1/21.1 would get repeated too
Idk
Just something my few brain cells thought of

18.9
Not sure quite where I am, as the wiki seems out of date on the arrangement of the atlas path

But I think they're randomly generated

best way to find out would be to cross check with someone else

@spiral cliff I get around 2700 LY per jump, and 40 jumps per tank/WH. So I do 108k LY. I think it takes me a cpl hrs to do this. I don't see how someone could cross a galaxy in 2 hrs, especially thru black holes (as they tend to damage your shit.) I also do things like look around. Are there any pretty planets? Anything interesting? any activated indium (or activated anything) ? I may stop at any planet I think is cool. Sometimes I go into the anomaly and run some nexus missions. I've gone 7 galaxies since Aug, tho I took a 3 month break or so. It will take me forever. But I don't really care. Its about the journey and not the destination 🙂
spiral cliff
Neat
mighty rampart
ay @jovial stag congrats on the legend
heavy mortar
I think the only thing I've learned so far is try to run thru Bud as fast as you can. never seen such boring dead planets. Empty galaxy is not my kind of galaxy I guess
jovial stag
@mighty rampart Ta! 😉 supposed to be slowing posts down... don't fancy being Top Gek .... now if there was a Top Kovax 😉
mighty rampart
agreed
jovial stag
@heavy mortar easy... when using a black hole use a ship with no upgrades in general inventory... thus no damage 😉
heavy mortar
I suppose you don't try for long jump range that way
jovial stag
and I do it this way
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.||
heavy mortar
hmm, interesting
but switching takes time...
I wonder if just warping immediately would be faster
jovial stag
it is but its the range you want... rather like quality over quantity ...
heavy mortar
well I crossed the last third or so of Bud pretty quickly, I mostly said F it, and just immediately warped 2600-2700 w/o even looking at the planets. I think I still stopped at a cpl of 3/3 bases mostly because I wanted ot get upgrades for my new explorer
I tried black holes in hilbert or hesperius, I found it was taking me about 6k closer each time rather than 2300. I also found that it seemed faster to just force march thru

Not much. There are some rooms you can enter in planetary buildings or on space stations that have a terminal that requires the remembrance. But all they provide is some lore. In addition, both the Rememberance and the Star seed provide a bit of a health boost.

@foggy jacinth How do youa ccess that galactic map? Is it something I'll need to unlock?
dusty pond
But on that screenshot you have several things makred within teh galaxy and also a "You are here". For me the galaxy is just shown in small in teh corner and that's about it.
foggy jacinth
When I say "galaxy map" I mean the screen where you choose a new system to warp to. Yes, it has an overview of the galaxy in the upper left hand corner. That's just the name of that screen.
dusty pond
I don't have any markers on teh galacy part though, except a single circled dot.
It's also muczh smaller than your screenshot
foggy jacinth
That screenshot is from a website, not the game. https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com
Sorry for the confusion
dusty pond
Ah, OK. Thanks! 🙂

If you mean wiping Atlas, I don´t know as I didn´t try that option. If you mean resetting galaxy instead, then no, you won´t loose anything.
Aside of going to another galaxy.

I see that Wiki has there outdated links. https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Dreams_of_the_Deep
As this quest can be get after start of The Purge quest, not after The First Traveller.
This page has it right though. https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/The_Purge

just an FYI if you wrap the links in < > they won't show the annoying info bit and still remain clickable, like this https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/The_Purge
dusty pond
I have just gotten the Dreams of teh Depth and I'm still pretty early in the Artemis path
I got it randomly upon warping into a new system.
@strong bluff ^
foggy jacinth
Yeah. That sound about right. One thing you may or may not want to do: make sure you do Dreams on a planet that has lots of small islands, or at least no massively huge planet-spanning oceans.
The quest has a lot of traveling, and it's much easier to do some of it in your space craft or nomad, rather than the way the quest wants you to do it, and that's easier if those have a place to land.
dusty pond
I see, thanks. For now I'm shelving it though, I want to get all teh glyphs so I can participate in teh weekend quest and then make progress with base quests. 🙂
foggy jacinth
you don't need hte glyphs to participate in the weekend events. The portal is opened for you (once you do a thing).
dusty pond
However, I have jsut came across an Atlas interface by chance. ANd now it asks me if I accept to follow its path...
If I say yes, will that interfere with teh Artemis or other paths in any way, or it is simply how you start the Atlas path?
foggy jacinth
You can say yes. You can run as many parallel quests as you like.
dusty pond
Hmmm I was asked to touch knowledge stones to learn the coordinates, which I did, then it told me to go to a portal but I assumed I would need to actually dial it.
foggy jacinth
no. Touching those stones 'gives'you the glyphs you need. You just activate the pedestal. (The DHD if you're a Stargate fan)
You can do the weekend event if you're in a diff galaxy as well. It'll still take you to the right place.

Does every glitch planet have a corresponding "stabilized glitch" decor item?
I could not find one on the mega-penis planet yet.
foggy jacinth
Yes. They all do. Some are much harder to find than others. Those are rolling balls, about a non-gek person's height.
And their light is not white, but maybe blue or yellow? I don't remember.
That is completely wrong. LOL.
The rolling balls are the life forms, not the glitches. Sorry. Here: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Stabilised_Reality_Glitch
foggy jacinth
The really hard ones to find are on bubble planets, and hex planets.
For those, I build a base, put down beacons at the ones nearest the base, because they respawn.
dusty pond
Hmm I've found several bubble clusters on the third plaet I ever visited. XD
Never seen a hex planet yet.
AAAAnd hex planet, LOL
dusty pond
And it has two boundary failure buildings
Damn, teh hexplate bush IS hard to find, no kidding... took me 40 minutes to find 4.
strong bluff
There also is that corruption/virus which turns things into biological horrors.
icy citrus
That's the abyss also
peak prairie
@dusty pond one thing that makes finding glitches easier is the knowledge that they always use the base color scheme/size, so finding a planet with unusual colors/sizes makes it much much simpler
Also they show up in scan visor as a unique icon
dusty pond
Yeah I noticed these. The way I found my hexplate bushes is that they looked orange while all th rest was yellow.
strong bluff
I wonder one thing - are alien species (Korvax, Vry´en and Gek) real and do they exist outside the simulation or did Atlas made them up when it tried to capture aggressivety, greed and curiosity into something?
violet narwhal
Vry'en? Vy'keen?
And good question... Who knows what the "real world" is like in this "universe".
strong bluff
Yep... 🤔
dusty pond
When I get to anoterh galaxy through teh center, will I be able to jsut use my teleporters to get back to bases/stations within Euclid?
strong bluff
I think yes. But if you don´t build a base in the new galaxy, you wont´be able to return there.
foggy jacinth
You should always be able to teleport to a station that you've walked around in, regardless of which galaxy it's in. But building a base in each galaxy is safer. For two reasons. Sometimes the first thing I said is bugged. and second, the teleporter list only saves a certain number of stations, and bases. If you don't visit a station in a long time, it can get shoved off the back of the list.
The list number is above 70, and some have said it's above 100. I don't know.
dusty pond
But I assume it prioritizes bases? So a staton will get wiped sooner than a base?
foggy jacinth
I think they're separate lists for this.
In general, people visit more stations than they build bases, so stations get lost faster.
uncut harness
Do I keep my freighter/ships/bases/materials when I reset the simulation or is everything gone?
foggy jacinth
Yes. However, all your tech gets broken. Fix your scanner first, so you can find your ship.
all your tech on your active ship.
foggy jacinth
You keep all your inventory. Sorry. I should start over. 😄
You keep your ship, your freighter, your bases, your multitool, your inventory. But all of the tech on your MT and your active ship gets broken, and I think some or all of your exosuit. I don't remember.

I mean I just have about 26 hours
So should I reset it already? I am not sure
dull sequoia
Everything not in a tech inventory gets broken

If you don´t reset, you then need to go to core on your own and can´t choose next galaxy.
dull sequoia
So all multitool tech breaks
foggy jacinth
@uncut harness Plenty of poeple reset, plenty of people don't. Resetting gives you the opportunity to choose between 4 diff galaxies to move to.
uncut harness
Whats the point of different galaxies?
dull sequoia
Different planet type frequencies
foggy jacinth
for me: solitude. LOL
But, you can read up on the types and how they differe here https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Galaxy
jovial stag
Atlas Path gives the option to reset the simulation, doing so moves you to the next galaxy in sequence. The Artemis questline gives you the option to choose from 1 of 4 galaxy types to go to.... so be aware there are 2 options available. If you refuse both and choose to stay in Euclid then later decide to change galaxies then the only way to do it is to get to the core on your own and go to the next one in the sequence.
strong bluff
Different galaxies point is... unknown? Aside galaxy type of planets you want most to see.
But I still wonder why they included more galaxies when one won´t be enough, at least for our life time.
uncut harness
The Artemis quest line is "The Purge 16/16", right?
jovial stag
different galaxies gives you more of a chance of finding a particluar biome on planets....
uncut harness
Hm, alright

Ty everyone
crisp fern
it used to be an exploration game, so the point of the additional galaxies was more to explore with lower odds of stumbling into someone else's discoveries, which is a problem at the start and the closer you get to the center
uncut harness
Uh, I just noticed that there is a timer with the artemis path
What happens when it runs out
foggy jacinth
Timer? It keeps track of how many times you've warped, once you get to 16/16. Is it that, or something else?
uncut harness
Oh so that 2/16 is the warp progress
And do I keep the other ships I have too when resetting or only the ship which I used when resetting
foggy jacinth
You keep them all. Only the one you have active is damaged.
spiral cliff
You can return to previous galaxies too.
As long as you have a base there with a teleporter.
foggy jacinth
Now, you can visit space stations you visit in your old galaxy too. But that's not retroactive. If you left Euclid (for example) before the patch, you've still lost access to all the old station teleporters.
idle jay
Just make sure that before you go to the next galaxy you have a ship active that you don’t mind being broken. That way you won’t need to spend all of that time repairing a ship with a ton of upgrades
onyx hearth
How did we manage to speak to Artemis before we figured out he died a long time ago, like before we put him in the Simulation/killed him?
cloud nacelle
The universe is weird
strong bluff
I think that her grave was sending a transmission to us and it´s said that she isn´t completely dead, that while she died I think by passing through a portal, her "soul" (probably will?) stayed alive and is thinking that she is still stuck on that planet. That´s also why we after finding the grave can either somehow "release a soul" and let her finally die or put her into a simulation.
I think that it´s a result of Atlas dying, that she was corrupted by passing through a portal. Or by something else.
It´s interesting though that when Apollo tries to pass through the portal, he instead just dies.
And there is one thing amusing - in story it´s told how it´s dangerous to travel though portals and how it can kill you easily, unless you are chosen by Atlas (and it usually messed you up when you step in), but then outside of story we can normally travel through them and especially on weekend missions.
Or better about Artemis, I think that she was stuck in some memory/other kind of loop.
It´s like how she can if you decide to put her into simulation, contact you later.
uncut harness
All Travellers are dead, they are previous entities created by Atlas in order to save itself. You are the only current traveller that "might" possibly exist at this moment in time, again created by the Atlas to try and save itself.
Imagine it as left over data from re-installing an OS on your computer.
strong bluff
Yep, that exactly. I still wonder one thing, if it will be ever explained, what of the simulation exists in real space (NMS universe) and what is just Atlas´s imagination? 🤔
uncut harness
Well, we're about to get another entity that's as powerful as Atlas so things are about to get more interesting.
It does already exist in game but only hinted at during the underwater storyline and current weekend missions.
That means that there's 2 simulations that are somehow overlapping each other.
strong bluff
That there is some another power similar to Atlas, I wonder what is that. Some corruption which created Abyss or Biological horrors or even something else? 🤔
That would be interesting. 🤔
uncut harness
Going to be super interesting.
strong bluff
I think that they said that switching OpenGL for Vulcan renderer was parts of engine´s changes to make them able to implement things they want later.

yeh i didint see a gender on artemis either
turbid seal
It?
ocean wyvern
im not a lore expert im sure someone else can explain it

@turbid seal in game it's "them/they", gender neutral terms
although the aliens may have a gender system, as some NPCs talk about their wives and kids
strong bluff
They are aliens, why they should have same visible gender as mammals on Earth do?
And Artemis was just traveller entity created by Atlas, like Last traveller is. And I think that she said that she looked differently in the past, but space traveling and portal traveling changed her.
turbid seal
I got the mind arc now I need to go to a holo terminal
mighty rampart
"they are aliens"
proceeds to give them feminine gender anyway

i would like to see stronger enemies when you go to a new galaxy. Like they get 20% more health/damage with every new galaxy you enter 🙂
mighty rampart
so, even less of a reason to go to a new galaxy 😅
fossil magnet
it makes sense that some people see it like it's new game +
but we have harsh galaxies for that
mighty rampart
it's nowhere near comparable to a new game +
new game + means starting over, things may become harder, you have some things that you got from a previous game, but you also get new rewards and end game content
going to a new galaxy is just the same as going to a new system except some of your tech is damaged
there's no other game to compare this with because NMS is stupid like that
foggy jacinth
Old discussion, but Sohail is correct that Artemis (or anyone) isn't given a gender in-game. HG has been really careful to only use 'they.' I, and many others, call Artemis 'she' because on Earth Artemis is a goddess, and very rarely do we, as players, use 'they' for any of the NPCs. 90% of the gendered language goes with 'he.'
No one pushes back on that, though. 🤔
So, why not call Artemis a 'she?'
uncut harness
To add to above image, this as far as I know is new because the sentence before it speaks of drinking the water.
So whilst I add this to say that there is instances of gender being declared within the universe, it's not entirely correct of me to say that this is widespread.
Allochthon and Sohail are absolutely correct that Artemis is 9/10 times referred to as a she.
foggy jacinth
Yeah, a few NPCs speak of people they once knew as 'she.' (the Vy'keen proposal is another, I think). But no one that you interact with is ever given a gender, that I've seen. I pay fairly close attention, but I def could h ave missed it.
uncut harness
That's very fair tbh
mighty rampart
@foggy jacinth I'm fine with others wanting to call whatever, but it's not nice to tell someone to use a particular gender when its not even canon
ocean wyvern
"not nice"; I thought it was official my bad jeez 🤷♀️
as i also said im not a lore expert
mighty rampart
sorry no offence, it was a general remark and not directed at you
but as far as I've seen from playing the game a bunch of times, none of the story NPCs have been referred to as either gender
so its up to you what you think they may be
actually no wait I think the Overseer was referred to as "he"
strong bluff
And what about instead that all characters there are hermaphrodites?
foggy jacinth
Well, hermaphrodite, when referring to people, is fairly offensive. Intersex is the preferred term I believe.
strong bluff
But that would break ecology so much (I think that on Earth only few animals are these ones, like snails, because they are probably too slow for something more complex ).
crisp fern
HG hardly cares about ecology, lol
peak prairie
Hermaphrodite is also generally a species trait allowing reproduction with both... combinations.
But uh, sensitive topic, I guess
mighty rampart
not a sensitive topic at all, just off topic :p

so i just beat the storyline, and...wow
that ending was something else
really simple but really effective

Did you get remembrance? That and atlas pass v3 let you open locked back door in space stations for a chance to talk to atlas terminals, more lore
I like that none of the main story is in your face, that it's just part of the vast discovery

so what is this weekends fetch quest?
icy citrus
Not active yet
fringe notch
I never even thought about this. If the Atlas creator just spoke to atlas and said he was sorry. And all of time in the atlas simulation is contracted, what if the travelers could temporarily break atlas and speak to the damned creator...
Man, that would make for a awesome ending to the game, if they made a endgame
meeting atlas
Rather, meeting the creator of atlas
fossil magnet
"yo, fix your damn simulation"
fossil magnet
strong bluff
But I would rather know how much is simulation true to real universe (in NMS universe). Though talking with the Atlas creator would be nice.
I wonder if player respawning after death was explained in the story or lore of if it´s just a mechanic to allow us continue after death. Like as Atlas chose The Last traveller to explore the simulation, it protects him so when he is near death or dies, Atlas either saves his life and teleports him at his last restore point without inventory or it creates a new traveller entity at the restore point. Or just tries to restore its last version before it died, but fails completely, so it looses inventory and its tech gets damaged. 🤔

brazen helm
I read the wiki page but I'm still pretty confused
foggy jacinth
ok, give me a sec
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. It's the green icon.
- 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 may be 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.
Actually, I think that last bug is fixed, but I haven't joined anyone's game recently to check.
brazen helm
So I couldn't just like jump from one via starship?
foggy jacinth
The only way to do it via starship is through the center. Unless you mean warp, in which case, maybe you're mistaking a galaxy for a star system?
brazen helm
Nah, just an extreme distance, kinda figured it would be impossible to do it that way
foggy jacinth
Real World galaxies and NMS galaxies aren't quite the same. In NMS, they're kinda like parallel dimensions, according to the lore.
blissful stratus
@strong bluff if you read the beacons at the start and near crashed ship sites, it says the sentinels intervene every time a traveller dies or oversteps their boundaries
crisp fern
also yeah fun stuff the icons in my discovery menu like to just not show up because ???
I think they do on my other save but not this one and fuck if I know why
mighty rampart
they forgot to add an icon system for uncharted systems
crisp fern
nah see this does that for any star system
I checked to be sure
Because at first I thought, "Oh it's just my old discoveries, whatever"
NOPE
crisp fern
yeah like i said it's not even consistent on my end, on my other save, lol
mighty rampart
maybe some rare bug from updating?

might be, the ui thing anyway
the terrain thing? That's lingering on from Next's universe regen

Ok so yh can find crashed ships on uncharted systems, just not planetary POIs so you definitely need to report that
And yes signal boosters can find any nearby POI like they always did
Hasn't changed
I remember in 1.7 I used the free scan to find habitated outposts and a manufacturing facility
crisp fern
Yeah, I went ahead & reported that, albeit I'm also looking into finding other POIs
mighty rampart
Changing topic: I'm now sure of what story the weekend missions is talking about
It's not about the Abyss
It's giving a canon story for suddenly having large multiplayer
crisp fern
😴 if so
besides i thought we already had some pretty in your face stuff for that what with in last moments of sim walls fall & travelers join together etc. etc.
mighty rampart
There's a lot of talk about instability, which would be par for the course when you have so many players on a planet when according to the game it should be just "you"
When you talk to one of the space anomaly NPCs, they mentioned they saw themselves through the portal, either it implies they're seeing their parallel selves like with the whole Artemis story or its the player customizer thing
if true, this means that these missions wont really lead to a "finale" as they can keep churning out more, or at the most they could do one final mission that's a fetch quest and move on to a different mission type
crisp fern
photo missions where you take shots of actual glitches 😬
hybrid geyser
my friend is able to use the terminus to go between hilbert and euclid, is that intentional now?
icy citrus
Yes, if you have something to teleport to you can use them for galaxy travel
hybrid geyser
interesting
because we didn't want to go out of euclid because we didn't want to completely ditch other friends who haven't progressed as much
icy citrus
As long as you have a base there, you can come back
hybrid geyser
yep
icy citrus
👍
mighty rampart
@hybrid geyser you dont need to build a base anymore to go back to previous galaxy, just need to have visited 1 system of it to back to that station
which happens anyway
hybrid geyser
Yeah we realised
icy citrus
But once you hit a bunch of systems, they get pushed off the list

Np!

When are we getting different mission types. Kinda bored with the collection missions.
mighty rampart
Yeah same question tbh, really sick of the fetch quests
strong bluff
Isn´t fetching thing which is all NMS about since release?
But true is that we were promised weekend missions to server as parts of story to tell. While, aside of iteration at anomaly, it´s allways just about finding 3 glyphs by wakestones, going to portal, then collecting some stuff to stabilize a rift (they added combat with biological horrors through) and that´s all.
Though this weekend the planet was warzone at the quest areas.
Because tons of sentinels going after all players.
strong bluff
And the planet´s name was "Triggered special snowflakes.".
I had messed up part of killing monstrosities.
I killed more of them and still had "Threats remaining: 6".
And then suddenly it went down when other player (not in my group) started killing them.
stable gazelle
Can I reset the atlas quest later if I get too far away from the next station?
rough copper
Yeah you can just move on then find another atlas station to continue with
rough copper
yeah you can just talk to nada and they'll give you a new location for one at any time
stable gazelle
Great
fossil magnet
polo gives new coord
stable gazelle
So far I've had a single one but don't want to advance in it unless I build a somewhat good planetary base
stable gazelle
Great, thanks
vernal light
ok so i have a bug/problem the game let me switch from EUCLID to Eissentam by reaching centre but now reached 3000LY away and there is nothing closer, so unable to jump or switch to another which is what i am wanting to do, so is the game broken??
foggy jacinth
@vernal light The process isn't terribly clear. First, you need to use the "galactic core" filter on the Galaxy map, and follow that to the nearest planet. You can't just eyeball it in 'free explore.'
vernal light
i did use the galactic core route and all it is giving me is the option to set waypoint but nothing else is occuring and option to warp is not showing
foggy jacinth
Then, make sure you're in a ship with a fully-filled hyperdrive. I also think you need to be in an exotic or explorer, but others disagree. Go back into the galactic map, and select "galactic center" again, and follow the line. Keep pushing until you get a hexagonal icon around the core, and then hit the warp button.
idle lion
I got that item that allows me to "give birth" to a star, I installed it and that's it?
foggy jacinth
@idle lion Yeah. If it's the Star Seed, that allows you to see black holes on the galactic map now, and gives you a bit of a health boost.
vernal light
i have a 1400LY Jump on this ship now, before on euclid it was much less range, now on eissentam the closest system to centre is 3000LY+ away from centre?
blissful stratus
Star seed is amazing but ok
idle lion
does it help somehow when getting to the center of galaxy?
foggy jacinth
@vernal light your ship doesn't have to be able to reach the core to do this. None of my ships can reach the core, in pure LY distance, but I've gone through anyway.
blissful stratus
@idle lion yes it autoreveals black holes which take you 7000LY each time until the last 10k
supposedly you can reach the core with just a pleb 100LY drive
idle lion
ah oki, thanks
foggy jacinth
I've been contemplating making a video on how to go through the center, I'll do some more testing today, maybe.
vernal light
all i get is the line to it but no option to warp to or any Hex around the centre just an option to set waypoint which does nothing either 🙂
foggy jacinth
@vernal light Ok, try this. The game has a designated system for each player from which to launch to the galactic core, I'm told. To find it, go through the nearest black hole. If you don't have the ability to see them, ask Polo for black hole coordinates.
Once you're through the black hole, again, follow the line to the system closest to the core. Make sure your warp is charged, again. Then trace to the core along the line again, and mash the HELL out of the warp button, even though it might not have it listed/visible on the galactic map. This worked for me, but I had to really mash the button.
vernal light
ok will commence mashing the button 😄
ok so now the Hex around it is showing, but still not doing anything
icy citrus
You can't freeselect it
With a controller, we can follow that line in by tipping the analog stick that way
vernal light
i know thats what i am doing
icy citrus
Try holding warp
vernal light
i have been
icy citrus
Try cussing
vernal light
i have alot lol 😄
foggy jacinth
@vernal light For my own data collection, did you go through a black hole, and after that you got the hexagonal icon?
foggy jacinth
Interesting. Thank you.
vernal light
YAY 18th Attempt at warping away and back through wormholes and it finally triggered 😄 happy days 😄 👍
foggy jacinth
excellent! Any idea what was different that last time?
vernal light
i had a freighter defence to do on the return run to centre
foggy jacinth
you mean a freighter fight triggered as you were making your way back to the center? Sorry, my brain is a bit foggy.
vernal light
yes i jumped into a freighter defence on last system before going to core
also the final system was named trump 2020 or something similar 🙂 which was different to the previous attempts
uncut harness
Wait, the weekend mission this weekend was too named Trump 2020?
Oh wait nvm. I read it wrong.
foggy jacinth
@uncut harness no, GuyC is going through the Core, not doing the weekend mission
uncut harness
I should learn to read.
vernal light
well it was 3000LY away from Core in Eissentam named that so if event was there too then all good 🙂
foggy jacinth
@vernal light I believe you can report system names. Some (me!) would find that name offensive, but I have no idea if HG takes politics into consideration on the reporting.
vernal light
been on Atlas site and the Galaxy im now in is not Listed 😄 Elkupalos aha but found it on the Wiki so all good 😄
jaunty parrot
is going to the core worth it?
icy citrus
That's entirely up to you
Going to the core and warping to it moves you to the next galaxy
vernal light
but if you do, do not make the jump in your best ship 😄 use a spare to do the final core jump because all of its modules get damaged, unless you want something to do upon arrival 😉
uncut harness
Why do I have to do the Atlas mission in a new galaxy again? I finished it before I finished artemis
icy citrus
Cause you can repeat the last step if you wish
icy citrus
Yep, birth a star - follow the blackhole waypoint afterwards to see it
It is more accurate to say that it leads you to an undiscovered as it doesn't really create a new system
There is an interesting glitch though I have been told about with it. I haven't tested it myself so I can't verify
uncut harness
Alright
icy citrus
Doing that mission and then using the core supposedly makes you arrive at the same proximity in the next galaxy after using the core to travel
So if you do it at 5k out from the core and then go to the core to the next galaxy, you arrive only 5k from thatcore
As I said, I haven't been able to verify myself as I'm nowhere near the center
icy citrus
If it works, you could speed through the galaxies and have colonies around all the cores
vernal light
yes you arrive at same distance in new galaxy 👍
icy citrus
Sounds amazing, and it is actually tempting me to core hop again, which I gave up long ago
I'd move another 3 or 4 lushes down the chain
vernal light
Also i like how you can teleport back to your bases in the other Galaxies too 😄 all with the galaxy name in brackets next to them 😎
icy citrus
Yep, nice addition
grand bolt
What happens in an Atlas Interface?
And, i'm doing "The Purge" rn
will it caus any problem if I interact withh the Atlas in the Interface I found
i'm at Rune 12/16
foggy jacinth
@grand bolt Mixing the Artemis path missions, like the Purge, with the Atlas doesn't cause any issues.
zenith zenith
What's the path to unlock the exocraft building now? Been several updates since I played.
Dudes on the space stations want to hop on down to my base, but I still haven't ever got the exocraft building blueprints this time around.
Is it maybe near the end of the base computer unlocks I get every hour and a half roughly? Just noticed that in my log and been doing that today.
violet narwhal
You can just buy the various exocraft individually using salvaged data or whatever, on the Anomaly... But if you're at that point, the base guys stuff will eventually lead to the same point it did before and give you them for free.
foggy jacinth
@zenith zenith You can buy the blueprints for the geobays on the Anomaly, but the base building missions provide most of them.
zenith zenith
The base building missions - is that the base computer archive thing every 90ish mins?
Or some other mission
violet narwhal
No, the base NPC stuff. Overseer, Armourer, etc...
I assumed that's what you meant with "Dudes on the space stations want to hop on down to my base"?
zenith zenith
I don't have any base NPCs, I want them ;p
I dunno how to get them
It appears I need the facility first
I can't get the natural progression of unlocking that facility
violet narwhal
Ah, well that now happens much later in the Artemis questline.
violet narwhal
Yup... IIRC it's not that long after that part.
