[cursive kernel]

If I pay for a game, I should be able to play the game

[lusty hare]

and you CAN play the game, nobody is stopping you. and if you want to speed it up, there are options

[hot wigeon]

what do i do after i go north?

[crisp fern]

There aren't legitimate in-game options tho

[cursive kernel]

Not really aside from just waiting

[lusty hare]

no, there arent because thats not how it was made to be

so, are you going to spend all 24 hours just whining?

[crisp fern]

Which is what we're criticizing, and that criticism is entirely valid

[cursive kernel]

But why was it made like that

[hot wigeon]

._.

[idle jay]

@lusty hare @crisp fern I understand that you guys both have your own opinions on timegates but you guys should chill out

[crisp fern]

@hot wigeon which stage?

[hot wigeon]

the first planet

[cursive kernel]

Honestly @crisp fern is kinda chill

[crisp fern]

Should be able to find an abandoned building i believe

[hot wigeon]

yeah i did that part

[lusty hare]

constructive criticism can be okay, but entitled whining over having to wait a whole gasp 24 hours is kind of ridiculous.

[cursive kernel]

@lusty hare is kinda passive aggressive

[hot wigeon]

but what’s after

[crisp fern]

I have provided constructive criticism

[cloud epoch]

do u have coords? david?

[lusty hare]

I am pretty chipp

[cursive kernel]

Nah

[crisp fern]

I recommended switching to an in-game time option and offering rest/wait options instead of real-time

[lusty hare]

er, chill... I am just having a good laugh at this kids

[hot wigeon]

@cloud epoch they’re all online

[glass flare]

I'm feeling like Sean was baked one night and said "Easter eggs, man. What if like, we did a whole update that was a easter egg?"

[cloud epoch]

um where are u trying to go north?

[hot wigeon]

bruh

[cursive kernel]

constructive criticism can be okay, but entitled whining over having to wait a whole gasp 24 hours is kind of ridiculous.

and you CAN play the game, nobody is stopping you. and if you want to speed it up, there are options

like I said, if you dont like it, then cheat... cant cheat? find a way or get a PC... dont want to do that? then maybe just play the game how they made it and stop whining over something small and do something else for a few hours
@lusty hare

[hot wigeon]

lol the planet

[idle jay]

You guys both have an opinion. It is not necessary to call another persons opinion whining

[crisp fern]

Because real-time means the game is dictating how we play and at what pace, which is not how I ever approach offline/single-play games

[hot wigeon]

for the egg mission

[cloud epoch]

yes buy why are u trying to go north?

[cursive kernel]

Ngl kinda aggressive

[stark walrus]

7 days are pretty long, depend on how much content in between.

[cursive kernel]

@cloud epoch egg mission

[hot wigeon]

nah i already did

what’s after

[cloud epoch]

are u at the melody planet or have u done that already?

[crisp fern]

oh, i think it's warping around a bit after the abandoned building part?

[lusty hare]

I'll let you guys go back to crying over a little bit of waiting though. sorry for disagreeing.

[cloud epoch]

if u spoke to ship in space and are at a planet now u should have lat long coords

[hot wigeon]

i just did that part

wut

[crisp fern]

@lusty hare enjoy waiting a week 👋

[cursive kernel]

@lusty hare there, you did it again

[hot wigeon]

i just went to the building.

[uneven oak]

what happens after the 24 hour wait

[cursive kernel]

@hot wigeon terminal at the building

[hot wigeon]

do i go back through the portal?

[cursive kernel]

@uneven oak do x and wait again

[idle jay]

@crisp fern @lusty hare Drop it. Both of you

[uneven oak]

another 24 hour?

[cursive kernel]

@uneven oak yeah

[uneven oak]

oof, how many times does that happen?

[lusty hare]

Um, I did... why are you all still tagging me? Can I go now? I have better things to do

[crisp fern]

From what I've gathered here, yes, and then repeat that a few times...

[cursive kernel]

Have to wait an entire week to get it

[uneven oak]

yikes

[crisp fern]

Yeah

[hot wigeon]

i’m so confused

[crisp fern]

That's why I'm pushing against this whole real-time thing

[cloud epoch]

tweet sean, discussing it here wont do much

[crisp fern]

(already did)

[hot wigeon]

after i do talk to the building terminal

[cloud epoch]

tweet til he blocks u? i dunno lol

[crisp fern]

lol

[hot wigeon]

where do i go😶

[cursive kernel]

If I wasn't suspended on Twitter I would rt that

[uneven oak]

I was expecting it would only be 24 hours, a whole week is pushing it

[crisp fern]

Right?

And this isn't exactly the first silly timegated thing like that

[cursive kernel]

Just 24 hours is ok. Not ideal but ok

[stark walrus]

Does having multiple stem thing make a difference?

[crisp fern]

But because people tolerated the base computer archives and other such changes, they've just continued doing this

[hot wigeon]

😔

[uneven oak]

base computer archives is kinda useless tho

I still haven't finished mine

[crisp fern]

it nets you the landing pad building part, no?

[uneven oak]

well, you can unlock everything with salvaged data anyway

[hot wigeon]

i went to the egg planet, i talked to the coms terminal, i’m now standing right by the portal to go back, do i?

[crisp fern]

still, wasn't always that way

[cursive kernel]

@hot wigeon yes

[hot wigeon]

ty

what’s the next part? flying around?

[cloud epoch]

yes

[uneven oak]

when I went to egg planet, I'm not sure I went to the right building, I didn't get anything when I interacted with the building

[cursive kernel]

@hot wigeon are you on public or experimental

[hot wigeon]

public

[stark walrus]

so... is there a spoiler on how the stem and egg are used?

[cloud epoch]

and i really hope u know how to work latitude and longitude or sean's beard save you lol

[cursive kernel]

@hot wigeon just go through then

[hot wigeon]

can i do anything else now?

[cloud epoch]

not on public no

[cursive kernel]

Not yet

[cloud epoch]

experimental only

[hot wigeon]

so will we all have to wait 7 days in total

[crisp fern]

unless you kick up a fuss maybe 👀

[fluid moat]

Do you need the egg for the new quest and ship?

[cursive kernel]

@fluid moat quest yes, ship no

The end of the quest gets you a ship but you can find them in the wild

[fluid moat]

Is there an easier way to get the egg that doesn't require 3200 QS?

[cursive kernel]

Have someone duplicate it Idk

[fluid moat]

Is there a channel I can ask this in? Lmao

[timid mist]

If you're on PC you can save edit if you're really in a rush

[silent talon]

do any of you know someone who is in the esseintam galaxy onPC

[fluid moat]

I mean I'd probably not wanna save edit

Although if someone duplicated some extra and can give me one on pc, hmu

[timid mist]

Without save editing, just doing missions

[crisp fern]

bonus points if you yell into the void as you're doing them

[cursive kernel]

So ok does anybody want to answer the one question I have rn

I'd do it myself but I'm on xbox

And it has to do with the experimental build

[rough copper]

cool update, just got the stem and now i have to wait lmao. They should have given us the option to find/make some kind of fertilizer to skip this nonsense

[timid mist]

@cursive kernel what's the question

[cursive kernel]

@timid mist how did the update affect the grass color on this planet

[timid mist]

What planet

Oh

You mean like warp there

And check

[cursive kernel]

Yeah

[timid mist]

I'm getting off soon unfortunately

[cloud epoch]

i dont always grow brains but when i do i grow them in some blob coprite

[heavy isle]

I cant get this forking egg quest to start to save my life lol

[cursive kernel]

Look I don't care whatever color that planet becomes EXCEPT green

Green lush planets are SO fucking BASIC

[slow yacht]

Did you buy an egg @heavy isle

[odd marsh]

Anyone know where in the json to edit to force mature stuff?

[cursive kernel]

Probably go to modding?

Just be vague

[heavy isle]

Lol

[slow yacht]

Cause I think that it’s a random encounter with an egg

[heavy isle]

Yeah I have 40 lol

Maybe HG is mad I have so many

[slow yacht]

Hmm

[heavy isle]

I got one message and that was it

[slow yacht]

Try warping into abandon systems

[heavy isle]

Like 50 warps

[slow yacht]

Hmm

I don’t know

[cursive kernel]

You can just portal there and it'll work

[heavy isle]

Abandoned huh I'll try it

[cursive kernel]

We know the coords

[heavy isle]

Ooo excellent

Even better

[fluid moat]

hey if you wanna give me on egg over pc I won't complain hehe

jesus 40?

you guys really going ham on the duplication

[heavy isle]

Oh that's ps4

[crisp fern]

YO

[heavy isle]

PC I save edit what I want lol

[crisp fern]

I'm landing on a derelict freighter in space 👀

[timid mist]

Oh you can land on them?

[crisp fern]

Or...Not?

It acted like I was for a moment

[fluid moat]

goddang

[heavy isle]

Got me excited for a sec

[timid mist]

Nah it just backs you off

[heavy isle]

Andlu I can hook you up

[fluid moat]

the only save edit I did myself was to make a teleporter in my freighter

I'd appreciate it, I barely have QS for the jetpack fuel

[heavy isle]

DM me if you want I can just give you a ton in game when I get around to it

[crisp fern]

It really did act like it was going to tho, hrrm...

Gonna keep poking around it

since when does the landing button also decelerate

[cursive kernel]

You decelerate cause you going down, not forward, duh

[inner pulsar]

Anyone else having wierd issues with the scanner being zoomed?

[timid mist]

2 ship

[cloud epoch]

tiny version is cute

[cursive kernel]

That one looks like it has legs it uses for landing

[timid mist]

they both do that, the other one just starts open before you leave with it

[glass flare]

that's a pretty weird ground texture

[cursive kernel]

It's not an airless world but it's not lush either I think

[timid mist]

yeah it's muddy sometimes on this branch

it's an exotic

[cursive kernel]

Figured

[crisp fern]

closer examination 👀

[timid mist]

they're just the crashed freights but loaded into space

[cloud epoch]

park a frigate next to it and fall onto it

[timid mist]

still cool, but would be neat if they added ones with landing pads

[crisp fern]

This is the floaty spinny portion tho

i guess if you dig them all the way out they end up looking like that?

[timid mist]

think so yeah

[crisp fern]

Just looks a lot more intact than what I've noticed on the ground

but may just be all the dirt in the way

[fluid moat]

How do experimental patches usually go for you save after they actually update?

[timid mist]

you can even find the "Damaged Panels" if you fly inside them

[crisp fern]

The overall design is the same tho, you're right

[timid mist]

can shoot them to see the storage cubes lol, just can't collect

[crisp fern]

I've just never seen the bottom layer

[timid mist]

i rly enjoy the mechanics of the living ships

while you're pulsing there's a chance you find a giant void egg floating in space, if you destroy it it gives you upgrade modules for the living ship tech

[uneven oak]

how do you find the space creatures?

is there any requirements?

[rare imp]

I found one that had been generated without the ground covering the bottom portion

I have screenshots

[pastel falcon]

Guys guys guys I just parachuted here from twitter
What did I miss
What's new
Aaaaaaa

[timid mist]

i've only found the jellyfish, I was boosting into deep space

[rare imp]

It was pretty underwhelming

[timid mist]

once for the mission, once on my own

[cloud epoch]

oh shi that's new info about how u upgrade it afaik zoid

[timid mist]

yeah I had assumed it would be some space interaction and I found it at random

[cloud epoch]

new in here, dunno about twitter or streams

[timid mist]

It's just a giant void egg, makes some cools sounds, you shoot it and it gives you a module you can slot in

[cloud epoch]

nice

[timid mist]

gives the "rare alien object" warning

[cloud epoch]

like hyperdrive, subspace drive, shields, etc.... equivalents?

[crisp fern]

hmm

[timid mist]

yeah

I got one for the beam

[cloud epoch]

spiffers

[timid mist]

I like that way of unlocking stuff vs buying it, so I'm hyped to get back into it

[crisp fern]

any idea if the living ships have different interactions with the other abandoned space objects?

[cloud epoch]

curious hhow a fully tuned one compares to an exotic stats wise (slot wise will still be smaller obv)

[timid mist]

Not sure, I mostly found traders

[crisp fern]

Mm, gonna keep an eye out for living ship to sweep up and search out abandoned space stuff

[timid mist]

And yeah I'm curious as well. It has a shitload of tech slots which leads me to believe there are a lot of things you can put in there

[cloud epoch]

i got nothing going til mar 3rd gamewise so i can pootle around in nms a bit i guess lol

[crisp fern]

So far I'm not finding anything I can do with this freighter in a regular ship, so makes me wonder if maybe living ships are more suited towards space exploration

[timid mist]

I don't think there's anything you can do with the freighters

[cloud epoch]

or if it really is an experimental build and not all there yet lol

[timid mist]

it's just flavour text lol

[idle jay]

So this is all in experimental?

[crisp fern]

well, there's that possibility too...

[cloud epoch]

yep

[idle jay]

Can’t wait for its full release then

[timid mist]

I'm more inclined to believe it's just up early for bug fixes, since ther'e are a lot of new things

[crisp fern]

Nah it's a little better than flavor text, it's a big thicc ship in spaaacee

[timid mist]

Oh I know, it's very cool - just doesn't do anything

[crisp fern]

i'd like if there was some more flavor text to them tho 👀

better still if it's not just flavor text obvs, but

[cloud epoch]

just be careful with portals uve used before, it feels like some might have moved a bit, i get trapped on return in my home planets' one

[timid mist]

But I'm happy with it being there, I'm sure whatever rewards it would give are things I don't need on my save at this point anyways

[fluid moat]

What do you guys usually do in experimental patches? Keep playing on them until the release, or does the progress not carry over?

[idle jay]

Seems like this just a small portion of what is to come

[crisp fern]

I don't really care about rewards, just more to find from them tbh

[cloud epoch]

my weekend event portal shoots me out way off to the side and puts my ship off planet haha

[timid mist]

@fluid moat your saves will be fine

[cloud epoch]

good thing i had launch thrusters fueled

some people just live on experimental andlu

[timid mist]

me

[crisp fern]

i mean y'know, as one might want of an exploration game, lol

a cave rare than a shallow pit 👀

[cloud epoch]

just backup saves as noted in the the forum post

[fluid moat]

Well damn you play everything normally in experimental?

[cloud epoch]

depending on how buggy yeah

[tall vessel]

I'm personally blaming this channel, I was at church group and I went to open my Bible app and I about peed my pants when i unlocked my phone and the Google results for "rule 34 space ships" where what was on my screen

[crisp fern]

that said, this pit's a good start to a cave 👀

[idle jay]

@tall vessel Lol really?

[tall vessel]

Yes, I about threw my phone,

Too much hype is clouding my mind

[crisp fern]

my ship needs better headlights 👀

[idle jay]

That’s pretty funny

[tall carbon]

found this alien ship out there

[timid mist]

It's beautiful

[young nacelle]

I really hope the bioships will be randomized too, maybe not now but atleast someday

[crisp fern]

and that maybe one day, squidships will wiggle their tentacles

[mighty rampart]

Has anyone seen if you can trade off the ship to an NPC pilot?

[uneven oak]

how are people get new tech from anomaly planets?

[upper void]

so there is variation in the ships

[heavy isle]

Yes its proc gen

Lots of possible combos

[upper void]

really?

like close to the level of normal ships?

[heavy isle]

Yeah pretty much it seems

[young nacelle]

Oh damn Thats awesome :D

[heavy isle]

There's a few cock pits few hulls, etc

[upper void]

huh.

[heavy isle]

So I'd say the same as any exotic or close to

[upper void]

are they rarer then squids?

[inner pulsar]

👀

[heavy isle]

Oops I cant attach crap lol

[upper void]

F

[heavy isle]

I have a list of all the proc gen parts,

[inner pulsar]

Blululluluul

[upper void]

@inner pulsar im plas buehuehueh

[inner pulsar]

Hi

[upper void]

still the only space thing ive seen

[heavy isle]

On modding channel LO2k always does CRC for us you can check all the all the parts and models added to the game there if your really interested

I know I want to find a space gate!!

Grah

Im not finding jack shit lol

[upper void]

dude everyone getting them like every pulse jump and im sitting here like 😮

"Wow cool, ive warped over 8k ly in the past 4 hrs, can i see one now"

[heavy isle]

Did you ever visit the egg planet?

[upper void]

the w h a t

[heavy isle]

I did and I thought that would do it but nah

Oh spoiler alert in the spoiler channel lol

The glyphs

[upper void]

i havent done any time skipping if it involves that

[heavy isle]

Oh

Is it time based?

[upper void]

wait im confused

[heavy isle]

Hmm well the glyphs are out there I think

Yeah wherever the egg mission takes you

[upper void]

i thought you only got the glyphs on day 3 and theyre different for everyone ?

it takes you to multiple places

over like 4 days

[heavy isle]

Ooo

I thought it was only one

[upper void]

no

[heavy isle]

Well I'll be damned

[upper void]

also

that joke wabout me going 8k ly?

not a joke

egg wanted me to go to a different system.

bugged out and i had to go 8k ly beforeit was like "o wait u can reset now srry"

2 hrs of that after 4 hrs of trying to get a korvax casing reeee

[uneven oak]

why did it take you 4h to warp 8k ly?

[upper void]

beecause i had lke 2 warp cells.

spent half the time getting condensed carbon

and i have a garbage warp drive

[uneven oak]

oh, you're early game?

[uncut harness]

imma be honest, the mysterious appearance of terrifying cosmic horror eggs, biotech spaceships, and mysterious destroyed freighters is a bit ominous

[upper void]

i have 250 hrs in this save but never done any story so im kinda both late and early game.

[crisp fern]

:thisisfine:

[upper void]

so big oof for me

[uneven oak]

how do you have 250 hours and not have lots of spare resources

[uncut harness]

me when i only know the story cause i followed waking titan

[uneven oak]

have you not built bases?

[upper void]

@uneven oak i waste it all on bases...

[mighty rampart]

I'm pretty confident they won't have anything too deep with the weird shit that's popping up in space, it's just meant to be a sight and then you go on about your thing

[uncut harness]

although once the whole egg thing concludes i will probably get back into nms

[mighty rampart]

Aside from the typical lore that is

[uncut harness]

i stopped around beyond, although not because i stopped having fun, but rather i got carried away with other games lol

[uneven oak]

hmm do you have mining bases?

[uncut harness]

But what if this is the void announcing its presence?

[upper void]

@uneven oak what do you mean by a mining base?

like

an indium farm?

[mighty rampart]

Seeing all this weird otherworldly shit in the game is such a left field

[uneven oak]

like, farm for oxygen and other useful resources

[mighty rampart]

Did not even close to expect it

[upper void]

im working on that right now actually

for my current base

[uneven oak]

oh oki, you can refine 2 oxygen and 1 condensed carbon into 6 condensed carbon, it's pretty useful to always have lots of the most used stuff

[upper void]

oh really?

never knew that

[upper void]

havent really messed with refiners

[uneven oak]

wtf are those things

[upper void]

what the

havent seen that one yet

[mighty rampart]

the whole design aesthetic of these dont fit with the general design of stuff in game

which makes me think these are stuff from totally other universes, phasing in ours

[uneven oak]

the universe really is dying

[upper void]

i agree with @mighty rampart here

it..

it just doesnt fit

[mighty rampart]

also this is what it spouted

[upper void]

it, in away, feels like a modded copy of the game.

hmm

dont know of any code or coordinate that uses that kind of numbr string?

[mighty rampart]

nope

its a numbers station

something from irl world

most likely just random numbers tbh

[upper void]

i probably sound like an idiot right now, but whats a numbers station ?

[mighty rampart]

its a military thing, I'm also not really aware of the exact purpose but its usually someone who starts calling out numbers and letters and its usually broadcasted on an unknown frequency

[upper void]

hmm

[uncut harness]

numbers stations are used for intelligence iirc

[upper void]

huh.

that

[cloud epoch]

sooo speculation on whether system type influences space oddities? cus in a wealthy commercial gek system i got 2 traders, 5 bargainers, and one derelict freighter.

[upper void]

doesnt apply to nms in any way

[uncut harness]

generally, it broadcasts numbers that seem random and impossible to decrypt unless you are given the key to decrypt them

[undone mason]

LOVE the alien look of these new assets

I hope we get new enemies

[upper void]

like i wanna just except that its just something to look cool.

but on the other hand

theyre just so weird and alot of them dont fit into the game art style wise. i fell like it has to mean something.

[uncut harness]

i believe in a recent community update they said an update was coming "soon-ish" and soon ish is about how long its been since that post

so, imo, this new stuff will probably end with an actual update, which i assume will be on par with synthesis

[upper void]

like the bioships dont look like ANYTHING we've seen in the game, excep the egg i guess.

[mighty rampart]

mind you, the patch notes did not talk about anything of this

[uncut harness]

yeah

[upper void]

yeah

the patch notes were all optimization based

[cloud epoch]

haha patch notes were just like here's some fixes u guys no biggie

[uncut harness]

its very interesting that they just threw in new features

[mighty rampart]

so we dont know if that's intentional and they want us to be surprised for a while

[upper void]

do you think this was on purpose or a leak?

[mighty rampart]

and then they'll drop the real patch notes

[uncut harness]

it was almost certainly intentional

[upper void]

some of the stuff still feels like it needs work though.

[cloud epoch]

totes on purpose given melody of the egg over weekend

[uncut harness]

i cant see a company like hg making a mistake like that

yeah, they also have clearly been building up to it

[mighty rampart]

sean tweeting all the eggplant stuff

[upper void]

also seans gone quiet again.

[heavy isle]

There's lots of unfinished stuff all over the place

[mighty rampart]

and also

@heavy isle o dam are u the legit Kibbles

[uncut harness]

while some people are imagining the arrival of new enemies or something crazy, i personally dont think we are gonna see a galactic war against the void or anything

[heavy isle]

There are turrets and wind turbines and shit all over lol just never implemented

Haha nah

[uncut harness]

but it will probably be a pretty cool update

[mighty rampart]

heck

imposter

[upper void]

the dev. update was Jan 22, almost a month ago

[uncut harness]

a month isnt that long

[upper void]

yeah

[uncut harness]

unless you are a fruit fly

[upper void]

it feels too soon

[uncut harness]

nah

[mighty rampart]

anyway there's this too

[uncut harness]

a month was about what i expected

[mighty rampart]

the silhouettes are similar to freighter parts

[upper void]

those look like the freighter parts?

[uncut harness]

especially since my og fam will remember that foundation and pathfinder were about three months apart

[magic mesa]

This is taking so long to mature the neural stem

[uncut harness]

and iirc, its been close to three months since synthesis

[upper void]

and then idk what the teleporter lookin thing is

[mighty rampart]

@magic mesa there's 3 more like this lmao

essentially a 4-5 day long mission

[crisp fern]

the worst

[mighty rampart]

ikr

[upper void]

relay antenna maybe?

[mighty rampart]

I'm so salty about this

[cloud epoch]

make a creative save slot and that stuff will fill out

[crisp fern]

send HG feedback telling them u dislike

[uncut harness]

im kinda glad im gonna be preoccupied for the next few days so that i dont have any free time to agonize over the amazing things that will soon come to nms

[mighty rampart]

at least I'm on PC and I can skip it but still

[crisp fern]

the worst part is you can't even just queue up each part and let it all finish over a week

[magic mesa]

I wish to skip it

[crisp fern]

i'd totally just queue these up and leave the game alone for a week, lmao

[uneven oak]

I really wanna see what these construction parts are gonna be

[crisp fern]

but no, check in each day like the game's your worried mum

[mighty rampart]

most people would, no one has this much time to invest in this except for people who play Warframe and are used to waiting for days

[crisp fern]

this game be needy af sometimes

[mighty rampart]

where does the mission end? Nyx did it right

[magic mesa]

Looks like...17 hours left

[young nacelle]

I check in daily for Quicksilver missions anyway so no biggie for moi

[upper void]

eve online player has joined the chat

[crisp fern]

ugh

don't even remind me of quicksilver

[upper void]

dude you gat way too little quicksilver for some of these

[crisp fern]

quicksilver and nanites are obnoxious af

[upper void]

like, ithought i had to kill 40 monsters, not 40 monsters times 3 buildings?!

[crisp fern]

o_O

[upper void]

and dont get me started on the base building ones...

[mighty rampart]

the kill missions when done solo are whatever number X 4

[crisp fern]

I think that may be a glitch...?

[upper void]

no

[crisp fern]

That's silly if it's not then

[mighty rampart]

and also the storm crystal mission too, you have to collect 4x the amount

if you do it solo

[crisp fern]

is it fewer if done with others or something?

[upper void]

yeah

i believe it splits it when done with others

[crisp fern]

that...seems like it should be the other way around...?

[mighty rampart]

the mission objectives assume you're doing it with 4 people

[upper void]

^

[cloud epoch]

temp icons temp names

[upper void]

for some reason

[crisp fern]

but quicksilver doesn't even really unlock much MP stuff?

[mighty rampart]

so it tells you "you need to gather 5 storm crystals", you collect 5 if its 4 of you in the mission

[upper void]

GET TO THE SECURITY OVEN

[uneven oak]

that looks like... parts of a destroyed freighter

the names at least

[mighty rampart]

@cloud epoch ah cool, so those icons will be replaced anyway

[crisp fern]

i didn't see a captain's key in my catalogue in creative

maybe i overlooked it tho

[upper void]

what the

TURRET?!

[mighty rampart]

or it got erronously added in base construction catalogue and it will get removed

[upper void]

can we build turrets now?!

[cloud epoch]

no

[mighty rampart]

probably not, sounds more like freighter turret

[upper void]

hm

[crisp fern]

ah yes, turrets...for...nothing... lol

Decorative Base Turrets

[upper void]

actually mars may be right

[mighty rampart]

I think these are just for derelict freighter parts but got accidentally added to your catalogue

[upper void]

destroyed freighter stuff

[uneven oak]

it feels like you will be able to board the destroyed freighters

[upper void]

yeah

[uneven oak]

and they will have traps

"lasertripwire"

[upper void]

liek bridgedoor, lockdoor

wonder what BLD means on the turret

[mighty rampart]

does sound like BuiLDable

[upper void]

meh

i feel like thats pushing it

[mighty rampart]

anyway, so far in this living ships lore it seems to be tied in with Korvax Prime

so, not as otherworldly as the other weird stuff in space

[upper void]

Is Korvax Prime like the korvax edition of Gek First Spawn or something?

[crisp fern]

home world

[cloud epoch]

most ends in _aband, presumably for abandoned

so derelicts

[upper void]

oh

[uneven oak]

korvax prime is the korvax homeworld

[upper void]

dude i know like nothing and im just realizing now

[crisp fern]

"wait this game has lore?"

[upper void]

b r u h

[uneven oak]

the lore during the egg quest says that the korvax built the living ships, right?

[crisp fern]

i mean tbh that's like many folks come Waking Titan

[upper void]

i though it just said they needed the stuff to build one or something?

like, are the living ships their own entity/creature or are they like an extention of the pilot?

[uneven oak]

I think they are their own thing

which is weird

[upper void]

thats what im thinkinh

new alien race but not but yes kinda

[uneven oak]

where do their consciousness come from since they are built

[lone cedar]

I wonder if this is the full update

[uneven oak]

and why would they allow themselves to be used as simple machines

[lone cedar]

I've seen some crazy shit so far :O

[uneven oak]

it's a experimental build, so likely not everything so far

[upper void]

i mean

[uneven oak]

especially since there are hidden things like the freighter parts

[upper void]

it has a heart, a brain, etc.

[lone cedar]

I hope the derelict freighters have a purpose

[upper void]

but also

[lone cedar]

Interesting

[upper void]

it has "vents" and engines and stuff

[lone cedar]

Also hoping the random ships asking me to trade get buffed >.>

[upper void]

so is it part creature part machine? Like maybe a mount that the user tames?

but they also seem sentient.

[uneven oak]

oh wait nvm, the consciousness comes from the void eggs

[upper void]

oh

[cloud epoch]

do the quest and ull know where the conciousness comes from lol (it gets dark)

[upper void]

so it is a sort of mount then?

its its own creature but the pilot can sort of tame it? Thats my gues lore wise. And then the stupid egg makes sentient versions.

[uneven oak]

yeah, the soul gathering part was weird

[heavy isle]

There are new base parts yes but no models yet

[upper void]

yeah that was... discomforting

[cloud epoch]

like haaay buddy where we going kzzztt noooooo

[uneven oak]

the fact that there are souls is weird on itself

[cloud epoch]

reality glitches is all

[upper void]

Hey mate, can i just grab thanks for the soul mate!

[heavy isle]

Abandoned prefab parts, a turret thing, some security lock

[uneven oak]

a laser trip wire

[heavy isle]

Yeah

That had me intrigued

[upper void]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-admiral-ackbar-its-atrap-gif-8125029

its so weird though

like are the space freighters gonna be dungeons?

and if so whats the reward?

[uneven oak]

someone found some weird shit at #nms-photomode-gallery

[upper void]

also, with the space things, notice how when you fly away they disappear?

[heavy isle]

Oh shit quick silver crystals??

I saw the crystals

In the files but didn't dig that deep

[upper void]

AGH I NEED TO FIND ONE

is it just me or do creature colors and patterns seem better/more varied all of a sudden?

[heavy isle]

Yeah on console I need that in my life

I have confirmed grass color change between versions

[upper void]

it didnt look like that before

the creature

[heavy isle]

On one planet

[upper void]

ive seen on a few

[heavy isle]

So wouldn't surprise me

There's a lot of textures and a few shaders added I think

[upper void]

oh nice

[heavy isle]

That's cool though

[upper void]

any new flora in the files?

look at this absolute unit right here

[heavy isle]

I can check tomorrow, the change list is uuge

[upper void]

ight

[heavy isle]

Thick boi

Dayamn

[upper void]

ive never seen any sort of patterns like that tbh

it looks way better

[heavy isle]

Me neither

[upper void]

Trees are for sure bigger

and rings look better

[viral yarrow]

Anybody make a vid on this vers yet?

[upper void]

theres a vid of the new ship out there i know that

[viral yarrow]

Really?

Ya got a link?

[upper void]

no sadly

[mighty rampart]

@viral yarrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h-47x0XgSM&t=506s

this is just for the new ship

[heavy isle]

A few folks streamed it

[upper void]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyUgbcEOUuw i lied

the emount of tech slots

upgrades for days

[mighty rampart]

but these behave differently than your usual ships so idk how you can increase slots, if possible even

I'm definitely sure considering the base size of the tech tab, there's gonna be procedural upgrades too

[upper void]

ye

someone earlier said you get them from shooting something that spawns in?

[mighty rampart]

oh yeah the video you shared has one proc gen upgrade

[upper void]

ye

[mighty rampart]

"evolve" lmao

[upper void]

the icon is shaped like an egg

just realized

[mighty rampart]

the guy who came up with all this must have had a blast

[upper void]

lol

LETS MAKE THE EGG HATCH A SHIP

[uncut harness]

Do you think the guy who came up with this idea was a fan of Warframe

[upper void]

probably

[heavy isle]

How many nannies was that

[sleek dragon]

Is this engine new?

[cloud epoch]

thicc

[heavy isle]

Wtf?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Well that's different

Modded or no?

[outer cobalt]

Looks similar to what I have seen in space encounters

[mighty rampart]

Help I am trying to infiltrate a secure facility but the clap of my engine exhaust cheeks alerts the sentinels

[heavy isle]

Hahahaha

Shuttle with a big ol ass

[outer cobalt]

BB (Big Bum)

[heavy isle]

That cockpit is new too

Damn

[mighty rampart]

show?

[heavy isle]

The latest screenshot

[mighty rampart]

where

[heavy isle]

That seems unique

From devilin?

[mighty rampart]

wut

how is that new

[heavy isle]

The shape seems different

The glass

[mighty rampart]

that's the exotic/explorer cockpit

[heavy isle]

But I don't touch shuttles

[mighty rampart]

its still the same

[heavy isle]

Ah

That's why then lol

[mighty rampart]

shuttle also has its own cockpit design

[heavy isle]

But that bootie for sure

[mighty rampart]

better view of explorer/exotic cockput

[heavy isle]

I filter those out I only spawn exotics and fighters lol

[upper void]

i saw one earlier

the thicc engine

[fluid stream]

As far as terrain colors is it just green became purple and purple became green? Do we know If that’s consistent?

[heavy isle]

"WHAT ARE THOSE"

Lol

[sleek dragon]

I like this thicc engine

[pseudo frost]

No one put a compilation of all new stuff found so far?

[uncut harness]

Saw this on twitter, I dunno if it's a mod, part of the new update or just oddly shaped

[pseudo frost]

Its definitely new

[uncut harness]

Straight up looks like a skull

Actually I'm just gonna blue the coords just in case

Big brain

[fluid stream]

Wtf is that

[sleek dragon]

Cool

[simple jolt]

omg

[mighty rampart]

wait did these rings sometimes have this beam going through it?

ok yea they did nvm

[subtle gorge]

the Animus beam is stupid good even disregarding the quest

[mighty rampart]

why?

these beams seem like a use and throw thing

kinda disappointing unless its planned for more use at a future time

[uncut harness]

Found another image of the skull thing

I've decided I hate it

[mighty rampart]

was it found when pulse jumping?

dead space whale

[fluid stream]

That’s awesome if it’s just a skull from a huge creature floating in space. Nice touch.

[subtle gorge]

it basically doubles your mining laser capabilites @mighty rampart

[uncut harness]

No idea if it's a pulse jump thing, it wasn't captioned

[subtle gorge]

this was probably unintentional

so use it while it lasts

[mighty rampart]

wow yeah that sounds unintentional lmao

[subtle gorge]

"we need to make the mining laser kill things"
"uhhhhHHhhh BUFF IT ALL THE FUCKING WAY"

[fluid stream]

Hah ya I saw that. Brings back memories

[mighty rampart]

some more variants

[hoary robin]

ohhh... middle right is nice.

[mighty rampart]

thank god, I was worried its just one kind of ship that everyone will have

[fluid stream]

Wow

All loaded in in the same spot???

[mighty rampart]

now real question is how do they compare with the traditional ships

[hoary robin]

not yellow though, will need to get to go hunting when it drops out of experimental.

*not violentely yellow enough.

[mighty rampart]

its so weird they look out of place but also strangely very fitting too

unlike the weird stuff in space

[hoary robin]

Did they have different stat spreads on top of it Sohail or is it like the exotics, where the natural spawns will always hit the far edge of bonuses?

[formal furnace]

oh shit new exotic model?

[mighty rampart]

I've only seen 1 ship's stats, seem to be similar to exotics

[hoary robin]

Flesh ships Mistikman, they're wandering about in experimental right now.

made out of flesh, and ship.

[glass flare]

damn that new engine part looks sweet

[mighty rampart]

so I guess its max at all stats but none of them better than the specialized ships

[formal furnace]

oh, new archetype like fighter/hauler/etc?

[uncut harness]

What do you think the flesh ships smell like

[formal furnace]

toenail fungus

[hoary robin]

Yeah, looking at Khraze's stream on them right now. Looks like high end fighter for damage.

[glass flare]

butterscotch

[mighty rampart]

I bet they smell slightly sweet and metallic

like actual flesh on metal

[hoary robin]

makes me wonder about scrapping them....

[formal furnace]

I want a few more exotic styles

[hoary robin]

Think these count as "a few more" in terms of at least 9 more models.

[mighty rampart]

@hoary robin it says "cannot salvage living being" or something along the lines

[glass flare]

man i hope they release this tomorrow, I don't want to wait a week for PS4 while PC people find every secret

[mighty rampart]

similar dialogue when you try to add slots

[hoary robin]

Sooo..... how do we get let them go? 😛 outside of exchanging.

[mighty rampart]

exchanging only for now

[formal furnace]

so unlike normal ships, they are locked into what they start as?

that's a bummer

[pale isle]

@mighty rampart those rings what are they i found like 2-3 of them but with nothing inside the ring

[hoary robin]

and it looks like they don't have functional upgrade slots just as of yet.

[formal furnace]

and there needs to be a way to get rid of them if you can't scrap them

[mighty rampart]

I'm sure there must be some way, this is still really new

[hoary robin]

Yeah, 100% bound to the experimental server right now. No technology mods for them as of yet (Not terribly surprised there truth be told), though they are really neat.

[mighty rampart]

@pale isle they're just some additional lore, no practical function

tech mods exist for them

saw one in someone's video

something about you having to shoot certain spawns in space

[hoary robin]

interesting. Saw a few folks trying to slot in the standards, probably tied to the events in space update that's around the cornor.

[fluid stream]

It’s like the Tin Man from Star Trek TNG if I remember correctly:

[mighty rampart]

the bio ships have their own tech upgrades

you "evolve" them

[fluid stream]

Living ships I mean

[native frost]

There's no tech mods

Smh

They're "Organs"

[fluid stream]

Do we know if they take up a ship slot...of our 6?

[formal furnace]

you probably just directly dump nanites in

[hoary robin]

Think it's close to Moya and Talyn from Farscape than it is from TNG.

[formal furnace]

instead of buying mods

[native frost]

It does does Phaedrus

[hoary robin]

a lot close to it, and there's some floating rumor of flesh frigates.

[uncut harness]

Can living ships get sick

[native frost]

Living frigates would be SICK

[hoary robin]

Not sure I'd trade out my sentinel for one, but it'd be.... REEAALLY tempting.

[mighty rampart]

space whales but its consensual vore

[formal furnace]

flesh freighter would be nice

[mighty rampart]

Kev is gonna nut

[hoary robin]

and you can leave when you feel like.

[native frost]

I mean if a living freighter has the same as a capital ship I would

[formal furnace]

but I am not sure I want to give up my max slot A class resurgent class

[hoary robin]

which.... new species being added perhaps?

[native frost]

Do we think they'll retcon alien multitools to be sentient?

[mighty rampart]

I dont think there's new species

[native frost]

Since these ships are classed as "Alien"

[mighty rampart]

nah I dont think so

[formal furnace]

with 113 hours in the game I have still never seen an Alient or Experiemental multi-tool

[hoary robin]

Probably not Nyxara, though it'd be amusing for the ship to do something creepy like "Hello sister"

[formal furnace]

I must have garbage luck

[native frost]

Waiting for my ship to talk to me when

[hoary robin]

Want coords to an S-class one mist?

[native frost]

I infused it with the soul of Artemis and 3 dead Travellers

[formal furnace]

eh they have those on the wiki

[mighty rampart]

600 hours, and I've never seen one in the wild either

[native frost]

I want it to be mad

[formal furnace]

a big part of the enjoyment of the game is discovering things myself

but damn it's so rare

[hoary robin]

I've seen a lot, but just one good one. Ran into a lot of turd-end experimentals.

[fluid stream]

People were saying the textures on fauna have changed

[native frost]

I've got 490 hours and I've got two alien multis :)

They're rare

[mighty rampart]

@native frost wait is that new soul engine thing legit the souls of 4 travellers?

what the fuck lol

[native frost]

Yeah Sohail

[formal furnace]

I want to just set fire to every 5-6 slot C class pistol I have found

[native frost]

It starts off the soul of just Artemis (presumably)

[hoary robin]

Must just be my area in the galaxy, there are a ton of them for alien though most of them are the low end blasters (12 slot max) instead of the rifles (24 slot max) for pew pew.

[native frost]

"-kzxzt- is that you? I never thought I'd see you again"

[mighty rampart]

goddamn

[native frost]

And it's the same icon as the mind arc

[formal furnace]

do experimental and alien go up to 24 slots?

[mighty rampart]

ya saw that but wow

[native frost]

And then you go and collect the soul of three travellers

[hoary robin]

from me "I killed you. YOUR Dead Artemis! Die like you were supposed to!"

[formal furnace]

I doubt I could make do with less than 21 slots in a multi-tool

[hoary robin]

Yes, yes they do Mistik.

[native frost]

Yeah my Alien S class has 24

[uncut harness]

"Welcome to my starship, it's powered by the screaming of souls"

[native frost]

Dude claiming the souls was horrifying

[hoary robin]

"Welcome to my starship, every week we feed it an orphan. It doesn't need it, but I feel better about the screaming."

[native frost]

"No no n- -kzxzt-"

"What are you doi-kzzt- where am I going?!"

[formal furnace]

My ship will be an Emo class, powered by ennui

[hoary robin]

and soon No Man's sky will go full dark-end of the Rimworld war crimes in space spectrum 😛

[native frost]

"What's happening to m-kszzt-"

[mighty rampart]

wow that's really disturbing

[native frost]

Those are the three I got

[mighty rampart]

I dont think I want that ship anymore

[native frost]

It's pretty terrifying

And they make you do it so like, nonchalant

Just do do do walking along find the planet

[hoary robin]

You can feed it new personalities until you get one you like. "kszzt- hello friend. kzzztt- are we trading today?"

[native frost]

"Oh hey you found this item! Go fill it with souls for me!~"

[hoary robin]

well, they eat pugniem to restore shields as is....

which ties them heavily into the sentinels.

[native frost]

Yeah, Pugneum for shields

Gold and Silver for launch thruster

And the pulse engine uses Oxygen I think

[hoary robin]

about time on the gold and silver, ever since the ham-handed plat nerf they're not worth lugging around.

[native frost]

This update is lit

Just like, as a general

My favourite part so far is the big space Jellyfish

[hoary robin]

there's also the space events getting added.

Yaasss 😄

[native frost]

Mr Child of Helios

He gave me living water so we're cool

I tried to murder him but he doesn't take damage

[hoary robin]

Look, just because Helios decided to become a giant floating head....

[native frost]

Not even from my fully upgraded fighter that kills pirates in one shot

[hoary robin]

doesn't mean that there won't be a giant chronos head eventually trying to eat him, like some deranged form of interstellar fever dream brought about by the slow death of the atlas, either that or someone found the bloody thing and is screwing with the inhabitants for the lulz.

[native frost]

In terms of Rare space objects I've seen Child of Helios, Messenger of Atlas, and a weird Heart/Ventrical System

[mighty rampart]

I saw a numbers station

[hoary robin]

Atlas "I don't want to die" - random weirdoes that found it. "That's nice. Hey Phil, who wants to make fractal space detritus!?"

[grizzled apex]

What's their function? Apart from looking awesome

[hoary robin]

To exist, at the moment.

[native frost]

That's pretty cool Sohail

What did it do?

[grizzled apex]

I remember seeing an image where someone could shoot some monitoring system

[mighty rampart]

it gave me numbers

[grizzled apex]

Like it showed the ground damage counter

[mighty rampart]

yeah you can shoot them but it doesnt amount to anything

[grizzled apex]

Strange

[hoary robin]

actually reminds me of the number sequences that lead you to crashed ships...

a lot

[grizzled apex]

Yea

[native frost]

That's weird

[grizzled apex]

Part form the lack of an input

[hoary robin]

meaning space derelicts? I'd 100% do space derelicts.

though it'd be awkward as heck to warp into space whales making more space whales.

[grizzled apex]

😂

[outer cobalt]

I saw a numbers station
@mighty rampart Looks like a clock

[mighty rampart]

yeah, one of those fancy watching with 4 dials

it actually said "numbers station" in its icon though

[outer cobalt]

Hmmm, worth investigating those numbers, or a dead end?

[mighty rampart]

most likely a dead end or it ends up saying some word

ATLAS is not it

[grizzled apex]

Seeing as this is in experimental, I believe much of the dialogue is placeholder

[hoary robin]

Same, because that's way too close to the crashed ship log to not be used.

[mighty rampart]

nah I think the dialogues are meant to be this way

[grizzled apex]

Or actual dialogue, with no input, which would be added later

[mighty rampart]

they're weird objects or beings that have entered our universe because its all falling apart

[viral yarrow]

the titan’s second cominng

[grizzled apex]

Oh that ties in really well

[viral yarrow]

I’ve a feeling as well

First the exotic ships

[hoary robin]

The borders are dissolving, boundaries are falling apart, the cleanup protocol of the sentinels has gone haywire and no longer functions, the virus the biologic horrors represent has become self aware.

[mighty rampart]

there's that one that looks like a bunch of bloody capillaries that straight up talks in code

really fucking cool

[viral yarrow]

Then to traveler beings and a screw up with Nada and Polo’s timeline (Nexus)

[hoary robin]

Lovecraftian horror update 😄

[outer cobalt]

I saw this one, which did nothing until I shot it

[mighty rampart]

what happened

[grizzled apex]

What did it do then?

[mighty rampart]

man they added a lot of assets

[viral yarrow]

Now we’ve space animals and fossils living about the depths, and to top it all of organic ships

[hoary robin]

wonder if any of them will just black hole you to lord knows where.

[outer cobalt]

Gave me this, so basically ancient dig site

[grizzled apex]

Interesting

[uneven oak]

WHAT

[mighty rampart]

not just 4-5 but we're close to a dozen of these now

[hoary robin]

..... kinda seriously hoping for more building stuff too, units are kind of incredibly meh after a while.

[grizzled apex]

Seeing as this doesn't look like bones...

[uneven oak]

how are you guys finding weird stuff floating around

[viral yarrow]

There’s more crashed freighters sprouting about the galaxy, now they show up in space

[mighty rampart]

pulse jumping

[grizzled apex]

Looks like the end of the 16 is upon us

[mighty rampart]

its a little rare

[hoary robin]

Essimeian galaxy, pulse jumping all over the place, experimental branch

[uneven oak]

wait, it doesn't work on Euclid?

[mighty rampart]

does

[viral yarrow]

If we’re thinking story tellin wise you could say the clash between worlds is getting stronger

[mighty rampart]

yep

[outer cobalt]

I actually didn't realise until later. Thought it was just an item I still had on me

[grizzled apex]

The question is, what is the other world ours is colliding with

[mighty rampart]

that's why they look so out of place, they clearly dont belong

[hoary robin]

Yes.

the answer is yes.

[viral yarrow]

I mean, that’s been the whole gist of the storyline

[grizzled apex]

The real world?/where where and when the ATLAS was built

[uneven oak]

ok so... pulse jumping anywhere or to somewhere?

[mighty rampart]

you know this reminds me of this bug you'd sometimes see in space, one of your base parts being absolutely gigantic and appearing covered the planet

[uncut harness]

Remember when No Man's Sky was all about the beauty of a simulation? Now we're at the point of "OOPS THE ATLAS IS BROKEN HERE'S SOME SPACEWHALES"

[viral yarrow]

The story revolved around you discovering things that shouldn’t even exist.

[hoary robin]

The atlas is dying, and I kinda think something might have found it.

You know, 100% will take the space whales Fridge, but the pretty simulation was nice too. Do miss the old color pallet.

[outer cobalt]

Ah yes, seen images of that supersized bug. Once I narrowed it down to being a Pilgrim tire

[viral yarrow]

Almost everything that has to do with multiplayer is a glitch to Atlas’s mainframe story-tellin wise

[mighty rampart]

@uncut harness simulations within simulations are inherently prone to being flawed, and space whales is just another proof of it

[hoary robin]

And they're sexy.

[grizzled apex]

The exotic worlds are glitched. Their assets appear to be items in the real world, where the ATLAS sits. It might have scanned them, accuse toy adding them to the generation protocol

[hoary robin]

well, I think they're sexy. Shut up.

D:

[uncut harness]

I like both of the versions too

[mighty rampart]

1.0 was the start of the simulation

[outer cobalt]

Hmmm, trying to imagine waking up to one

[viral yarrow]

You could say this new update may be some of the very consequences as to Beyond’s events

[uncut harness]

The spacewhale skeletons are p. sexy

[mighty rampart]

1.1 and 1.2 was an update to the simulation

[uncut harness]

1.3 was when things went south

[hoary robin]

Now we just need to give the gek their insane blood magic powers back and, well....

[mighty rampart]

1.3 is when we realised they weren't updates, but rather glitches

[viral yarrow]

Then it intensified from there forth

[grizzled apex]

1.3 was an uncalculated progression. Emily dreamt it up.

[mighty rampart]

1.5 glitched out planets

[viral yarrow]

And it later became a struggle between Atlas and its subjects.

[mighty rampart]

1.6 glitched up the water and exposed us to another layer of the simulation

[hoary robin]

Because they found out mostly Eggend.

[mighty rampart]

1.75 glitched planets further into beyond recognition from 1.0

[viral yarrow]

Mhm, it’s similar to Nada & Polo’s case

[hoary robin]

and that's dangerous to know that you're entire existence is at the whim of some alien machine.

[uncut harness]

Wait who's Emily? I kind of thought ATLAS was some MIT esque project

[grizzled apex]

That's was the name of Loop16

The atlas

From Waking titan

[uncut harness]

Oh, the ARG

Sorry mb

[grizzled apex]

Np

[mighty rampart]

2.0 is when it went super bad, realities merging together, and now 2.3 will make it even more apparent

[viral yarrow]

To recall they were both just regular npc’s until one of them found a crashed ship w/ a terminal blinking 16 that gave them free will

[mighty rampart]

the Korvax Prime's primordial technology has resurfaced, bizarre objects appearing in space

[hoary robin]

Kind of thinking that the last minute, of the last second, of the last day, might be interesting as the desperation to stay alive reaches a psychotic pinnacle as the Atlas has stated it's obsession with not dying.

[viral yarrow]

You can see how the #16 affects npc’s thru the story when you ask Gek, Vy’keen, or Korvax alike about said number

They “bug” out

[grizzled apex]

But that's just the beginning @hoary robin

What happens when the timer reaches 0?

[mighty rampart]

it all ends

[uncut harness]

3.0 will take 16 hours to download, and when you open the game it'll literally just brick your machine. I'm calling it now

[mighty rampart]

or it all begins

[viral yarrow]

The thing is however, that when Atlas discovered Nada and Polo’s free will, it decided to wipe their entire universe

[hoary robin]

Entirely possible! And there's the entire chance that someone else found the bloody thing and is just screwing with the inhabitants as they try to figure out wtf its purpose was.

[viral yarrow]

Thus the Anomaly

[mighty rampart]

dude is this game THE ARG?

[grizzled apex]

Will NMS be gone?
Or will the ABYSS take over the Atlas' role

Or will the "mysterious figure" at the end save the Atlas?

[hoary robin]

Who knows, it gets weird when you start dealing with the subsystems of a desperate super intelligence. 😄

[outer cobalt]

The Tardis Nada and Polo used to fly around with, sure became a busy place though

[uncut harness]

We should democratically elect an AI to take over the simulation

Personally I'm voting Tory.

[mighty rampart]

all we've gotten since 1.3 are more and more corruptions, the atlas being closer to death with each "update"

[viral yarrow]

In lore Nada and Polo escaped their universe thru the Anomaly as the Sentinels essentially killed every living thing in their galaxy

[hoary robin]

Yep, sole survivors of galactic purges.

[grizzled apex]

Universal

NMS has multiple universes

Many iterations

[mighty rampart]

NMS doesn't have multiple universes

[viral yarrow]

Those crashed freighters on those random planets also give more evidence in them being from another iteration of some sort, some even facing the same sentinel problem

[hoary robin]

I'd also admit a bit of comic relief associated with the entire thing if the entire experiment was actually an attempt to make a butter-passing butler robot.

[grizzled apex]

The sentinels and The ATLAS are the only things that exist in all

[mighty rampart]

we are in multiple universes of NMS

[native frost]

Well the sentinels were made by the Atlas

But they went rogue and tried to kill the Atlas, iirc

[grizzled apex]

We cant visit them all

[viral yarrow]

I remember talking about this loonng ago

[grizzled apex]

But we do have evidence of their existance

[hoary robin]

Yep, they're essentially it's garbage dump cleanup function Nyxara, and it kinda... broke.

[mighty rampart]

WT was all about letting us the players know that we too are in a simulation

[viral yarrow]

About how the Sentinels were essentially the firewall

[uncut harness]

The sentinels showed up around the time the First Spawn had beef with the Vy'keen

[native frost]

Yeah they're essentially McAfee

Works for a bit and then it starts attacking files you want to keep

[uncut harness]

They weren't always there, technically

[viral yarrow]

And how these updates were just bugs that we, the viruses, were exploiting

[mighty rampart]

NMS is a simulation within a simulation that's collapsing kinda like Inception

dream within a dream being unstable

[viral yarrow]

Interlopers never really belonged here, they were born from faulty code.

In Atlas’s sys

[hoary robin]

Let's not forget the mass suicide of the enslaved korvax into the spawning pools of the gek, forever entwining them with the korvax regardless of if they wanted it nor not 😄

[subtle gorge]

??? i know some of the glyphs but not all of them, and stuff like The Hunter isn't listed in #678637070926872576

[grizzled apex]

We were a last resort by the ATLAS
We are the creators of the ATLAS
Or atleast a scan of the creator

[viral yarrow]

That faulty code led to freeing npc’s of their npc-like behavior (Nada and Polo)

[uncut harness]

@viral yarrow Null wasn't a mistake I don't think? He was created intentionally, but corrupted by something

[hoary robin]

And travelers are various interpretations of the creator of the atlas, given near complete autonomy to do whatever the hell they felt like.

[viral yarrow]

Null was an interloper but desired exploration above all else

He wasn’t really threatening Atlas but desiring more knowledge, dude craved em.

[hoary robin]

Think the Atlas has a serious case of abandoned child syndrome going on. "Please, please, please see what I made for you daddy and be proud. I tried so hard, and I don't want to die."

[viral yarrow]

Out of the rest, Artemis & Apollo, I could see him being the least threatening

[uncut harness]

Yeah, but he was intentionally made, right?

[viral yarrow]

@hoary robin Nah the simulation was made to stall time before its imminent death

[native frost]

Yeah

-null- was made to be a sim of the Atlas' creator

[mighty rampart]

@subtle gorge try

[native frost]

And then it tried to delete him but only got like half of it

The hunter is the birb

The lowly insect is the spoder

[hoary robin]

Still, should be interesting to see where the story goes. 😄

[viral yarrow]

Atlas’s a supercomputer, and in theory was made to predict star routes and ways in which humans can space travel. Later on throughout it’s lifetime we the humans left it to travel the stars, and before doin so had to shut em down.

[mighty rampart]

I mean let's just take a moment to be happy that they're keeping all the lore etc consistent, rather than add stuff haphazardly

[viral yarrow]

WT added a shit ton of lore

[mighty rampart]

nothing has been retconned

[viral yarrow]

Including Superlumina which was I think a rival supercomputer

[hoary robin]

Yes, yes, and yes it did.

[viral yarrow]

It added VORE -I mean WARE, a company that exploited the ATLAS supercomputer and using it to gain profit, but in doing so ment experimenting with the sim by adding in human minds

You could say that this is how the interlopers were born but I’ve no idea.

[hoary robin]

though powering down for a machine is rarely the same thing as dead, gets a bit fuzzy with consciousness involved though. Even more-so depending on if it's going to be repurposed or outright scrapped. Honestly could go full on Iain Bank's the Culture series on the entire thing where the entire sentient portion of it gets thrown into its own little pocket dimension.

[viral yarrow]

The thing is, Atlas truly feared it’s shut down

[grizzled apex]

@viral yarrow
The travellers were born when the ATLAS decided to recreate its creator by using a brain scan.

I believe

[viral yarrow]

Countless times has dialogue described it to be in a state of panic and fear in making desperate attempts to prolong its sim

[crisp fern]

@native frost we dunno that the sentinels were made by atlas tbh

[viral yarrow]

Ah, I forgot about that bit

[mighty rampart]

Atlas ordered the sentinels to do stuff, but yeah it seems like they already existed beforehand

[viral yarrow]

It would connect a shit ton of dots, and Sentinels were made to preserve & prolong the simulation.

[crisp fern]

Sentinels were made by Atlas' creator to monitor Atlas' condition

Er, wait, nvm

[viral yarrow]

Sentinels scan for abnormal anomalies all the time. They start targeting those who do something they werent supposed to, for example breaking into a manufacturing facility

[crisp fern]

I'm conflating them with Telamon

But Telamon I believe was what was operating the Sentinels, before Atlas system degradation, so I think that still roughly lines up
