perhaps they choose to change galaxies because they can... πŸ˜‰

#

@magic finch No. Finishing the Purge will give you the choice of moving galaxy (choice of #2, #4, #7, #10) and if you do choose to move then some stuff will be broken, but you can come back to the galaxy you left (best to make a base in the new galaxy first though) and you keep: Units, Nanites, Ships, Freighter, Frigates and all stuff in storage.... Getting to the Core just takes you to #2 getting to the core of #2 takes you to #3 etc and again doing this gets stuff broken....

magic finch
#

Okay that helps alot, i'm assuming how I get back to galaxy 1 where my base would be at, is by going on the anomaly teleporter @jovial stag

jovial stag
#

you can use that one but the stations ones also work and if you build a base with one you could even use that

lunar surge
#

@jovial stag I've been meaning to ask for a while. How do you reference previous posts in discord? Maybe it's not an option on the web client and that's why I haven't seen it?

#

Just asking you because you do it a lot.

mighty rampart
#

you need to turn on developer mode in appearance settings

#

then you can "copy link" and this will give you a link that when clicked will jump you to the post

jovial stag
#

just like that ^^^^^

cloud hearth
#

Wooow

#

That's so cool

#

Are there still enslaved Korvax?

I came across an interesting (and honestly somewhat depressing) situation yesterday as a pirate sub space scan started, I contacted them and they basically told me they had no choice and apologized, saying I could be spared by those who controlled them if I paid them

When I declined, they said something along the lines of 'free us, destroy us before we destroy you'

#

As a nerd who loves robots in Sci fi I actually felt kinda bad blowing them up

#

I'd presume it's not the Gek's doing tho

uncut spade
#

what is that egg thing?

icy citrus
#

Melody of the Egg?

#

Or the actual egg?

uncut spade
#

this thing that @uncut harness sent

#

what are those

icy citrus
#

Podsss

#

It is an exotic planet

strong palm
#

Anybody know anything about my inquiry?

Mostly just curious, lore wise.

icy citrus
#

My theory is that they have become agents of the Abyss

#

Or perhaps there are First Gek still roaming about

uncut spade
#

are the pods new?

#

are they worth alot?

#

I've never seen them before

icy citrus
#

They came along with the new exotic planets

#

Visions

#

They aren't for selling , most you cannot pick up. Like all the exotic planets though, they do have a collectible decoration you can find

uncut spade
#

so are they meant for decoration?

#

what happens if you can pick them up?

strong palm
#

Hrm, the Abyss agent seems plausible.

Not sure how many years passed between the first spawn Gek and now, but if they found a way to preserve themselves then perhaps.

icy citrus
#

It just seems like there is no way they were all taken care of

#

Had to be thousands if not millions away from the planet

uncut spade
#

is this lore

obtuse anvil
#

yo i just discovered a structure speaking about deleting multiverse

#

whats this multiverse thing

strong palm
#

A multiverse is a collection of several separate universes, each with their own differences, both subtle and large.

In theory, there's an infinite amount of universes, a new one being created each time a decision is made.

#

It's actually quite amusing to me--I'm on a role-playing discord server and have a character that travels between multiverses of vastly different types, so this is something that just adds to the fuel of intrigue this game brings me.

#

Something that also interests me is how they portray updates to the game itself. When multiplayer first came out you could only see orbs that would represent the locations of other players. It's only more recently that player models are fully visible; as if the walls of the different universes are slowly shattering into one massive mesh. Lore bits in game also seem to support this theory.

@jovial stag
Actually, there's what appears to be a bug rn where anything in tech-only slots/tech tab in inventory is unharmed

plucky bough
#

Wish I could stay on that exotic mission planet

#

It was really beautiful

slate kindle
#

You can find another

#

They generate normally throughout each galaxy

plucky bough
#

I should try, because the mission one didn’t have any water though

#

I mean water is kinda ugly with the froth but still

slate kindle
#

I don't think any exotixs have water

plucky bough
#

Oh you’re right

mighty rampart
#

@slate kindle not a bug, but intended

plucky bough
#

It would be kinda weird for a hex planet to have water

slate kindle
#

@mighty rampart ah nice

mighty rampart
#

I'd like if exotic planets had water but I also get why they dont

plucky bough
#

It just doesn’t fit

mighty rampart
#

of course

plucky bough
#

But there could be a hexagon texture to the water

#

But bubbles, idk

mighty rampart
#

you mean blood bags

plucky bough
#

:0

#

Wtf

slate kindle
#

Are you talking about the bubbles anomaly, or the bubbles in water

plucky bough
#

The bubble planet

slate kindle
#

Blood bags are from the anomaly

#

(they're the anomaly's "animal")

plucky bough
#

Lol

#

I know this is off topic but I’m excited for the original backpack

slate kindle
plucky bough
jovial stag
#

@slate kindle no its not a bug, that's the whole idea of the tech slots they get protected... the general slots do not... πŸ˜‰

plucky bough
#

Protected?

#

Ohhhh moving galaxies

slate kindle
#

I thought they were just to help give more inventory space.
Nice to know.

lunar surge
#

I can't remember. Does warping to the next galaxy from from one of the gateway systems at the center of a galaxy potentially destroy stuff on your ship?

violet narwhal
#

Damage, but not destroy.

lunar surge
#

Is it like black holes where it doesn't damage stuff in tech slots? Can't remember.

violet narwhal
#

Probably

tacit hornet
#

@lunar surge i wanna say everything was fine in my tech slots but anything else outside of that was toast... πŸ€”

obtuse anvil
#

damn i finished artemis is the end rly just reaching the core to destroy the universe?

#

thats sad

strong palm
#

I just made a real base for myself and I'm on the last part of the purge quest.

Touch nervous of doing that bit, does it warp you to the next galaxy with no ability to return?

#

No ability to return sans going through 255 galaxies anywhom

slate kindle
#

@obtuse anvil you get two choices:

#

Move up to another galaxy, or don't

#

You can very well just explore euclid til the end of time

#

I will notr that for gameplay purposes, you are still allowed to go back to Euclid over the teleporter network, too

lunar surge
#

@obtuse anvil || not destroy ... reboot ||

#

Anyone do the calcishroom thing this weekend. I started it at the last minute and let it set and am doing it now. Can you scan for calcishrooms? What's the easy way to locate them?
So far I've only found two of the sixteen I need.
I'm doing this with network off, so it's unlikely others emptied the place of them before I got here.

full otter
#

so, the wiki says that polo can give the player an atlaspass v1 blueprint, but i can't seem to manage it. what specifically is needed to get him to do so?

mighty rampart
#

@full otter that's dated, you don't get the atlas pass from polo anymore

#

You have to raid a manufacturing facility in order to unlock its recipe, and many more

gleaming rune
#

It took me a while to figure that out

full otter
#

ugh, annoying, but thanks for the correction. so what specifically do i need in order to open the doors on one of those, multi-tool wise? would the advanced mining tool be sufficient, or do i need a weapon mode, and which?

mighty rampart
#

need a weapon, mining doesnt work

#

and make sure you saved your game before breaking in, even a quicksave from exiting your ship is good enough

slate kindle
#

Can also shoot the door open with your ship weapons

full otter
#

yep. was planning on that. and having tried it out just now, using the ship to blow open the doors and run works well. they didn't try to shoot me when i came back. woot.

deft path
#

Umm I think I am at the end of Artemis questline and I am given 3 choices: ||1)Seek Final Interface 2)Complete Atlas Path 3)Explore galaxy|| .... does it matter what I choose? What do the choices even do?

jovial stag
#
  1. gives you the choice of either staying put or moving to one of 4 galaxy types
#
  1. as it says
#
  1. as it says
#

and your choice.... πŸ˜‰

deft path
#

... that makes little sense to me. I am out of context, out of the loop with these choices.

jovial stag
#
  1. Seek the final interface is the final mission for the last mission in the Artemis quest line where you get a choice of either staying in the galaxy you're in now or moving to another one, you get the choice of galaxy type by choosing a coloured Orb.
#
  1. If you have not completed the Atlas Path then selecting this option allows you to do just that....
#
  1. Means you just choose to explore the galaxy, thus postponing options 1 and 2 to some later point in time as the missions should remain in the Log for you to pick up later....
hoary dagger
#

I was tearing up at the end of the Artemis Path. The writing in this game is fantastic.

primal dagger
#

I am at the end of the Atlas Path, where I have crafted a "Heart of the Sun" and the next goal says "Speak with the Atlas"

#

So ... I go to the next Atlas station and when I get there, there's no Atlas Interface like before, there's just this weird circle thing but nothing to interact with

#

What do I do?

#

ah, have to activate the pillars first

#

k well that's kewl, i finished it

#

better ending than the game had at launch I guess

slate kindle
#

Proper ending is in the artemis path, if that's what you mean

hidden badge
#

I'm working on the Artemis path. Just so much feels I have to take that in pieces.

lapis gale
#

I heard if you change galaxies 🌌 you lose access to all planets and systems you have discovered through portals is this true

mighty rampart
#

it used to be the case, it is not anymore. Your teleporters will still have the old Euclid connections being displayed

lapis gale
#

ok πŸ‘Œ so is there a way to make things so it’s not so cluttered eventually

mighty rampart
#

well, no

#

at least it tells if the system is of euclid

lapis gale
#

Ok

mighty rampart
lapis gale
#

Thanks

lunar fog
#

Is there a reason to actually go to the center of the galaxy and reset the simulation

#

Or is it purely for lore

mighty rampart
#

if you follow through and don't refuse the atlas, you're given the option to "reset" the simulation which is basically letting you choose your next galaxy to go to, rather than go to the centre manually and ending up in Hilbert

lapis gale
#

@mighty rampart If you reset do you lose all your freighter/frigates

mighty rampart
#

options are:

  1. Empty - most planets in systems are of dead/exotic types - Budullangr
  2. Harsh - most planets have extreme weather or sentinels - Calypso
  3. Lush - most planets are earth-like - Eissentam
  4. Norm - same as Euclid - Hilbert
#

@lapis gale you dont lose anything, but all your tech inside of your general inventory, of your exosuit and current spaceship, will be damaged

#

only the general inventory, tech inventory is unharmed

lapis gale
#

Sweet

mighty rampart
#

@nocturne zephyr

Maybe one day hello games will add so many new Quicksilver decorations that we can create our own biomes
datamined quicksilver items have a bunch of new buildable plants and trees for each biome

nocturne zephyr
#

yay...

idle nebula
#

guys can i make a litlle question abaut something that i dont know yet if is a spoiler?

#

Is abaut the atlas

#

Is there any big difference if you choose to obey him or not ? Like i dont want to know the difference, only if it exits

#

So if you choose to you dont lose anything?

#

And if you dont choose to, you dont gain anything but you can do it later?

#

Good, thanks ^^

uncut harness
#

At what point do the campaigns end?

#

The Artemis quest thing says "a new galaxy awaits" the atlas path is gone after I got the star seed, and the space anomoly tells me to choose a different mission

#

Also what does the remembrance seed do?

jovial stag
#

allows you to access some terminals in back rooms.... Lore stuff πŸ˜‰

slate kindle
#

also gives +1 health I believe

#

put it next to the start seed to get +3

uncut harness
#

Oh that's neat

hearty violet
#

@mighty rampart Papa bless ❀️

proven ridge
#

So finally reset for the first time, I chose my next Galaxy Lush, is it normal to get Eissentam? I thought that was like the 10th reset?

#

Or is it just 10th on the list?

jovial stag
#

the choices are galaxies: #2 Hilbert Dimension, #3 Calypso, #7 Budullangr and #10 Eissentam @proven ridge

strong palm
#

I imagine people that traverse the different galaxies are quite lonely

slate kindle
#

I plan to go to all 255. 255 will be quite the lonely one

#

Because as far as i'm aware no-one's bothered to go there without savehax

icy citrus
#

Not true, but not many do it

jovial stag
#

oh! a few have gone there... without cheating... Ninja'd again!

slate kindle
#

Ah, nice to know

#

I plan to make a base in every single galaxy

icy citrus
#

There is a handy glitch if you want to speed up the process without editing

slate kindle
#

Hm?

icy citrus
#

Do the final step of the Atlas path - birthing a star - close to the core. If you go straight to the core from that, without teleporting or reloading the save, you will be that distance from the core in the next galaxy

slate kindle
#

Hmm, alright

jovial stag
#

and you won't be able to return to all your bases.... not enough space on the base list to list them all if you make 255 πŸ˜‰

slate kindle
#

VV

#

:V

icy citrus
#

What is the limit there on the list?

#

I have heard multiple numbers - including the nexus showing more than your list

jovial stag
#

well for stations its about 70'ish no idea for bases as not made that many

slate kindle
#

If the very fabric of the universe screams 16, why are there only 3 races?

#

There should at leats be a fourt... Oh

#

Travellers are the 4th

#

Ok nvm

mighty rampart
#

bless you

slate kindle
#

16 was a nice number to choose tbh

#

Has some nice properties

#

16 sigils for portals? Portal addresses are probably just a system seed and planet ID stored in hex, with a bit of scrambling

violet narwhal
#

They're coordinates, which is the same thing.

proven ridge
#

So, after I've reset the universe the first time, I can actually use portals now right?

jovial stag
#

if you have all 16 Glyphs then you can use portals without resetting anything....

proven ridge
#

Ok, sweet! I got the glyphs doing the last of the Atlas Path last night, and I've reset, so wasnt sure if I had to do that over again

quaint mountain
#

I'm at a point in the campaign where I must choose to either kill Artemis, or put them in a simulation. I'm heavily leaning on killing them, but what would be the choice that grants me the most rewards?

mighty rampart
#

neither

#

at the most, keeping him alive lets you continue using the artemis translator, which is not that useful if you decide on doing the other

#

how do i get to galactic centre from last system? do i need 3000 ly jump range?

are the giant blobs in that event planet

haven't played yet. from what I've seen they're mostly small

idle nebula
#

Guys one question, i dont want the answer per se, i want to know if the answer is a big deal or not.

#

When you go to a SOS balice and it asks you to issue an error report of an iteration, is something important, it has consequences or something ???

#

I want to know if is something or just atrezzo

mighty rampart
#

Are you playing the game in some other language rather than English?

idle nebula
#

Yes

#

Spanish

mighty rampart
#

Oh ok, that's why

icy citrus
#

Just props

idle nebula
#

@mighty rampart explain

icy citrus
#

Fluff

idle nebula
#

@icy citrus then is not a big thing, only like a mini chest or something ?

mighty rampart
#

What is he talking about?

icy citrus
#

Yeah

mighty rampart
#

OH

#

I figured it out

#

The crimson eye in the distress log

idle nebula
#

Sorry for the english

mighty rampart
#

Yeah there's no consequence to it

idle nebula
#

Oki, lots of thanks ^^

icy citrus
#

If you follow the missions and do what they say - there are not any choices you can make that will actually affect your gameplay - besides at the very end of the Paths

mighty rampart
#

It's a little bit of a lore thing that's all

idle nebula
#

oki

mighty rampart
#

Kinda the running theme of the game: you don't really have a choice in anything and it's all just happening regardless of what you choose to do or not do

icy citrus
#

balice = beacon

#

Atrezzo is prop

mighty rampart
#

Ahh ok

uneven oak
#

endgame spoilers:
if I choose to not reset the galaxy once I reach the end of new beginnings, can I go make the choice again to go to a new galaxy or do I have to go to the actual core now?

mighty rampart
#

you'll need to go to the core and you can only go to the next galaxy in line - hilbert

uneven oak
#

oof

#

in the next galaxies I'll also have to go to their cores, right?

mighty rampart
#

yeah, for example if you want to go to Eissentam you will need to go to the core 9 times

#

eissentam is the 10th galaxy

uneven oak
#

am aware, is there a faster way to go to the core?

#

or just getting lucky with black holes?

mighty rampart
#

yeah mostly that

#

black holes always take you to the same spot, so if you go through one and it didnt help, you can reset the save and try another hole

uneven oak
#

alrighty, thx

icy citrus
#

There is a glitch that allows for quick galaxy travel -if you have the last step of the atlas path available to do, and are near the core

@idle nebula if you're doing the Dreams of the Deep... ||I used the Nomad ... landed on planet built summoner summoned the nomad and then removed the summoner... then used the Nomad to get above where I was supposed to be underwater and then when I got there I just swam down did what I had to and then returned to the Nomad... a lot quicker than using the sub, the sub is great when its upgraded but when you first start the mission it's painful to use||

idle nebula
#

Thanks for answering, im not in that mission i think (in spanish its called "patterns over time") but im going to do the same^^

jovial stag
#

wow it must have changed I don't remember having to swim for that mission just a lot of reputation building with the various races

idle nebula
#

yeah

#

Its a korvax mission and the non-existent info i need to get has appeared in the middle of the sea

jovial stag
#

ah! unlucky then....

Related to Melody of the Egg

yep, guess we have to wait for us to reach the milestone

mighty rampart

its subject to change, the RGB trails were also priced at 2100QS when checked through the mod

turned out to be cheaper

I assume itll be the same with void eggs

So, the new threat are ourselves, hatching those eggs throughout the galaxy?

#

icy citrus

I'm holding off on the trails until the base decorations show up, I'm going to buy those immediately

mighty rampart

no idea, the fact that you can buy a 1000 each time just like fireworks is very intriguing

wanton path
#

mighty rampart
#

its some sort of consumable

icy citrus
#

Yeah, for the Abyss

uncut harness

I got both red and blue trails.
I bought red cause I was impatient and then immediately after I bought red, blue unlocked.

icy citrus
#

Gonna be feeding these to it

#

I would have bought the antimatter and rainbow if they had been priced the same

mighty rampart
#

I guess its because they're different style of trails

#

antimatter effect is different from the RGB ones

#

and rainbow is well

#

Sometimes a rainbow is just a rainbow

Ok so it will tie in with this mission, I bet it will ask the players to do nexus missions to get the quicksilver for it, and then buy a certain amount

Possibly a new feature? But that would come with an update or something

Unless it was stealth added a while ago

We already solved it over on ETARC, people are building bases near the mission system (providing we aren't completely wrong)

Ok so it's just a mission thing? That sounds disappointing

Do you know about ETARC?

Never heard of ...

You're my favourite ETARC leader.
I was just about to explain to AntiCaesar how you folks have found something super interesting.

#

(Maybe not exactly what unless they ask, just that it's very note worthy.)

outer cobalt
#

It is interesting for sure

#

They started posting about it while I was close to finishing a base build. Once done I investigated and found quite a lot ;-)

uncut harness
#

Wow very interesting melody of egg stuff. Also very mysterious

#

Just to be clear, this mission people are getting now was datamined and it’s actually starting this weekend?

#

No.

#

It's been triggering at random.

#

Woah

Well that’s strange

#

Added some mysterious text. was one of the patch notes for Synthesis.

Hmm so we're going to be on weekend event 16, we are trying to unlock eggs, and Sunday is the 16th. My best guess is that the egg will be the "item" needed for the weekend mission, and it will lead to something big story wise. Or like others have speculated, there is a bobblehead inside.

if this turns out true, it basically will have us spend quicksilver, to earn quicksilver and lore content

but so far the QS shop has only been for decorative rewards that are optional

money farm?

mighty rampart
#

Qs being said money

not units

rough copper

Yeah but I don't get what you mean by money farm, there is a very finite selection of items to buy

#

and it's not like you can do the weekend missions more than once

#

not much of a farm

mighty rampart
#

true that, I just mean the whole idea of "buy a quicksilver reward to complete a quicksilver reward that gives more" is something I didnt think I'd see for this

rough copper
#

There might be no quicksilver reward if its the last one, who knows

uncut harness

Just speculation right now though.

#

Sanser beat me to it

also, i could be totally wrong about what the egg is for lol

exactly lol

mighty rampart
#

yeah, just saying this line of speculation is weird to me

I can see that if you buy one it unlocks a mission that ties into the new feature

i just think its no coincidence with the date and it being weekend event 16, seems like they did it on purpose

I think week 16 will have the mission related to the eggs, but I dont think it will directly involve it, as then it means they have to be confident that we will unlock the eggs by then (which we do generally, but it wouldnt make sense banking on this)

Correct.

it's just a mystery in the game

If it's an arg within the game, it's better than an arg

rough copper

You could do an "arg within a game" in something like GTA V, because it simulates the multiple real world mediums that ARGs use. I guess NMS could do an in game ARG if it had a NMS internet, NMS TV, and NMS radio in game lol

gusty stream
#

I'm spooked by these weekly anomalies

#

Could it be Atlas in its death throes?

#

How the literal structure of the simulation is starting to erode and we have to fix it

#

I wanted to see if any of the update release dates coincided with 16 months before the launch of the PS5 for lolz, but no.

uncut harness
#

Do you like your eggs scrambled, over medium, or teeming with harmonious power from a rising artificial intelligence?

gusty stream
#

I'll just take it scrambled k thx

uncut harness
#

I’ve also thought the abyss could be a physically manifested version of the Atlas’ rampancy, or perhaps some sort of bleed over from the artificial intelligence that created the Atlas’ world, but I’m not sure.

If the altering core objectives speech gave me a clearer cut definition of how it changes people, it would be easier to tell. If it’s negative, and the person infected goes into negative disarray, it could be rampancy

#

Atlas’ anger could be spilling into the creatures that come into contact, and that would explain the similar signature without having to mean an actual β€œother power.” Also, the β€œteeth in the sky” text from Abyss update could fit under the context of rampancy/Atlas’ anger

gusty stream
#

Still some really scary crap to think about

#

We've never actual seen the true 'fury' of Atlas

#

Wait what about the dialogue from the owl dude from the weekend mission

#

He said some shit about how 'not all travellers are perfect' and something else regarding Atlas

uncut harness
#

Yeah, I vaguely recall. I also remember someone else mentioning an E3 planet, and a few other things not at the top of my mind right now. Anomaly dialogue is interesting...

gusty stream
#

Yeah Mercury spoke about an E3 planet

uncut harness
#

Soleth Prime, right?

gusty stream
#

I think

uncut harness
#

Ooooh idea

#

Recently No Man’s Sky has made a big point to reference β€œstatic” in these community missions, even in Mercury’s dialogue. He said that he saw an earlier version of himself when listening to the β€œvoice of the static.”
If the abyss is indeed rampancy, maybe the Atlas’ anger is leading the abyss and this static is the Atlas’ protocols all muddled. This peer back into time by Mercury is a direct result of this, and the Atlas is thinking back at its past as it dies from the black hole that we know is getting closer every update (and especially now that it’s past multiplayer). β€œThe dream is looking directly back at me,” because the Atlas is watching from every point in time towards its death.
The abyss is the manifestation of its anger, and the static are its cries.

Edit: Also, abyss means a big empty void or chasm. I think this abyss is going to be extending as the Atlas dies because more of the simulation is descending into chaos and nothingness.

gusty stream
#

Wait I'm confused...what is "the abyss"?

uncut harness
#

A strange figure in no man’s sky lore that is present in water. Changes people upon contact, and its physicality, as well as point, are unknown, aside from it bearing energy similar to Atlas

#

Something as powerful as Atlas that resides underwater, not been shown in game yet. Just part of game lore and a large focus of the weekend missions.

Atlas got bored, reincarnated into a body, wanders and rediscovers a world with no memory from the past, finds the atlas is breaking down, doesn't know it because it's split between its reincarnation and the system

uncut harness

Kinda.
Atlas is aware it is dying so created "Travellers" in order to try and save itself. SO yes, by your logic, "we" are Atlas.
Each memory wipe is restarts of the simulation/Atlas, it's attempt to stop itself from dying.

A lot of people seem to think our humanity made ATLAS πŸ€”

If that was the case, the development of the ATLAS in both WT and Remembrance lore would be the same. But it’s not

I think if humanity made ATLAS, it’s not our humanityβ€”maybe a humanity elsewhere, not simulated by ATLAS

amber dagger

@uncut harness It must be a different humanity, but maybe the humans on the outside of tge ATLAS send humans inside the ATLAS? Similar to what we did with Nadas Machine.

Isn’t it contemporary because WT had NMS as a game by HG? judging from how we haven’t had a black hole hit us and that NMS exists as it does now with multiplayer, it can’t be our simulation this is happening in

Dont they refer to the player as an anomaly sometimes?

You are anomaly

#

All the travellers are an anomaly technically

uncut harness
#

I think you’re technically right in saying we’re humans meant to fix the atlas, but you weren’t meant to be in the simulation as a human, and especially not the dreamers.
You, a human, play as a traveler, but you’re not meant to. As a dreamer/anomaly, you’re especially shoehorned into the simulation, and literally a human inside the universe

#

I look at it as HG shoehorned us into the simulation as a traveler pre-NEXT. Then we were shoehorned as a dreamer into an already shoehorned traveler. The NPCs are all who are left of a non-tampered creator protocol

so basically atlas is the matrix and we're Nero

But we exist, and so does No Man’s Sky. If the simulation wasn’t running, we’d be dead. But I might be missing what you’re saying

outer cobalt
#

There is a difference between us as a player and us in reality

#

What if reality created the Atlas (HG), which we as players experience in-game (simulation). How would Atlas experience us and its own world?

uncut harness
#

The reason I think the simulation is running as we speak is because the game is still receiving updates. HG opened up that can of worms with WT when HG was an element in their own story (a games company making NMS), shifting Mercury to NMS and its updates arriving from advancements in the AI. Also, I don’t quite get that last part

outer cobalt
#

We as players know that the experience in-game is not real life. Atlas only knows the simulation and would therefor consider it their reality. For Atlas we are therefor real

uncut harness
#

Oh I think I just got what gmr is saying

outer cobalt
#

Makes sense to me if you consider 'the Atlas dying' part. In reality the Atlas does not die, unless HG pulls the plug. But every update is a new iteration, a reset in the experience of Atlas, death. To then re-launch, not knowing it died, into a new update

uncut harness
#

Holy shit talk about a hard to explain topic

#

So people think the simulation we play as (NMS) is running in the future now, on an Atlas far beyond this point in time?

crisp fern
#

@uncut harness what i mean is that the ultimate reality of NMS is that it is a sub-sim of a sub-sim (our reality, so to speak) of a much greater sim (as this was another component of the Atlas sub-sim experiment, to prove the nature of the reality they were in, i.e. it's a simulation too)

#

What is simulating "our reality" is left entirely unclear

#

Thus the point in time at which that simulation is being operated is also unclear

#

Sorry, that's still not as clear as I would like it to be, let me try again.

Ultimate reality
-Sub-sim (our reality)
--Sub-sim 2 (Atlas sim, parallel sim of sub-sim 1 but running a little ahead so as to be predictive).

#

We don't know when ultimate reality is set, if it's present/future, and if its timescale is even all that relevant to the sub-sims

#

We also don't know whether they may have created their sub-simulation for the same ontological research purposes that the sub-simulation created their simulation of things

uncut harness
#

So do you think remembrance lore charts our reality, or a β€œbase atlas reality” above even that, or... neither?

crisp fern
#

Not sure tbh

#

I'm inclined to believe it may only be related to our reality

#

It's not entirely clear what traces of the ultimate reality may exist in either sub-simulation ("reality") or (Atlas)

#

After all, the proof that the reality the Atlas was made in was a simulation was really just that the Atlas sub-sim was able to effectively, accurately predict the future

uncut harness
#

But my issue with that is multiplayer already exists in NMS by the time 1.3 released, so the black hole is ripping apart the Atlas during that time. No black hole in the WT-verse, so we aren’t remembrance universe...? I might still be fudging something up, this topic isn’t easy. Everything got an ounce more complicated when HG was more directly addressed as making NMS

crisp fern
#

You've missed some recent convos where some of us reviewed the Boundary Failure logs and suspect they may be an indication of sub-sim divergence from predictive capacities

#

So it may very well be that that isn't indicative of an actual event coming up in "reality"

#

But a side effect of the Atlas sub-sim system degradation

uncut harness
#

Wait... woah

#

So there’s a chance the sub simulation could be in some sort of degradation or rampancy that it’s falsifying or mishandling information like that? That’s an interesting take

#

That’s actually very interesting and can change a lot

crisp fern
#

Take another look through the Boundary Failure logs and you may start to see it

#

Could be entirely wrong, but it seems to me there's enough there to inspire that reading of the situation

uncut harness
#

Well it’s something I haven’t thought about at all and something new-ish for the lore, so even if it’s off, it tastes like a new piece of gum

#

But I’m definitely gonna re-read that stuff, especially now with the whole egg thing maybe leading into more substantial lore

#

howdy guys.. i might have messed up on a mission, and i was advised that this might be a good place to ask since its spoilerish

#

I got to the point on the atlas path where you need to craft a heart of the sun item.. i did that, and returned to the atlas terminal and turned it in. it said i made a new star, and sent me to a system with a black hole. i went through, the quest is still going, and it sent me to another atlas station and its asking for ANOTHER heart of the sun.

im under the impression its a one-off item to create, so im worried I messed up. is it? i dont want to be putting myself in some sort of endless loop

#

(and the mission says i need to find the next atlas interface)

full otter
#

did the first one you gave the heart to give you the starseed recipe? if it didn't, it may have bugged a bit and restarted that phase of the mission. pretty sure you can craft the heart multiple times, though, seeing as it's used once for that quest, and once more to make another item whose recipe you get from the artemis questline.

ornate ginkgo
#

ahh okay. so i shouldnt have to do it again

#

starseed - i think i remember seeing a got that recipe.. but i dont see it from my exosuit crafting menu.. its not a farming item, is it?

#

(i may make a base here so i can see if it comes up in the build menu

#

yeah i remember getting the star seed bp.. and it seems its done via the refinery.
plus the atlas path mission has disappeared from my log.. so .. it looks like its good to go after all.. just dont know why it sent me to ANOTHER atlas interface (and where it asked for another heart)

uncut harness
#

The atlas mission disappeared from my log too, thought I was crazy

#

Its like the mission is still in the log, just made hidden

shadow ocean
#

@ornate ginkgo there is one more step after the star seed but its optional

#

you can get something called a remembrance which lets you interact with the giant server racks hidden in minor settlements

#

its just for lore though

Also extra health iirc @shadow ocean

I thought those just gave a jetpack boost and no item

@uncut harness ?

uncut harness

theres a plant that you interact with and it boosts your jetpack

foggy jacinth
#

The blue ones, yes.

#

Those are not beans, or the other plants you can pick to cook with.

Just looked them up, never seen those in-game. Weird

Which? The beans? They only appear on lush planets.

#

Do you guys have any advice on the type of galaxy chosen when you reset the simulation?

ornate ginkgo
#

rock on. thanks

ornate ginkgo
#

okay now that i know what the choices mean.. how did it work out for you guys? im thinking lush, partially because it does include some weird planets..
but empty/ancestral.. does that have more ruins, bones, and such?

#

and lush will probably have more purty planets to choose from

mighty rampart
#

nah, empty galaxy just has more dead planets

#

harsh galaxy has more extreme planets, and norm galaxy is just another Euclid

ivory crown
#

empty has more glitch ever since they added "transform dead to glitch" chance

mighty rampart

that too

Speaking of new galaxies, what are some good ones I should try out? I never actually tried to remake the galaxy before

slow yacht
#

I picked the green orb because it has a lot of lush worlds in that galaxy

gloomy isle
#

I did find the wording in the mission quite ominous

#

Specifically when the game calls what you're collecting a sacrifice

ornate ginkgo
#

yeah i ended up going with green/lush.. if only to find a nice spot for base or two
and i do want to see some "weird" worlds

#

thanks for the input

#

so, after the new galaxy was created, my atlas path is still active.. is there a point to continuing it?

#

it was getting repetitive at the end, not exactly yearning for more of that

icy citrus
#

It doesn't do a galaxy, it does a star - a system. The only reason to do it again is if you want to create another - it doesn't change anything

ornate ginkgo

ahh okay.. thought maybe it was something like that
