#

and Telamon essentially became the travelers suits as it couldn't do its primary function properly any more, or something along those lines.

grizzled apex
#

I remember hearing about an Atals Monitoring Station in the Experimental. Maybe that could be used to give details about the future of the simulation

crisp fern
#

Mm, that's not clear, but Sentinels are definitely another system routine like Telamon

#

(sorry, thinking out loud, unrelated to your comment 010)

grizzled apex
#

Maybe like something like Telamon, but physical.

#

Np

#

This is all mysterious

#

It would be great to get all the information and ideas we can

subtle gorge
#

WH

hoary robin
#

accidentally falling into the circuitry that makes up the atlas's logic processors would be horrifying and fascinating.

subtle gorge
grizzled apex
#

Ah right if I'm not mistaken this is used In Starbirth

mighty rampart
#

time to commit soul stealing

grizzled apex
#

Gathering travelleer souls

#

What's the exact process tho?

#

I'm on PS and waiting

mighty rampart
#

I was checking steam discussions, surprisingly no new threads

subtle gorge
#

yeah

grizzled apex
#

Guess the NZ guy was right

subtle gorge
#

im doing that rn

mighty rampart
#

@grizzled apex have the egg in your inventory and start pulse jumping in any system

#

it takes a while

hoary robin
#

probably not going to see a ton of them until the full release drops Sohail, steem threads tend to be.... a bit slow to update

grizzled apex
#

No, I mean soul gathering @mighty rampart

mighty rampart
#

oh idk

grizzled apex
#

Done the rest of the quest

#

And waiting for this experimental to hit on PS

#

If the NZ guy was right abt living ships, maybe we WILL get a livestream today. Or some announcement event

mighty rampart
#

no livestream

#

this is the exact thing they did back in beyond

#

a quick popup that a livestream is happening

grizzled apex
#

Ahh right

mighty rampart
#

just to rile us up

grizzled apex
#

Damn gotta give HG credit

#

They REALLY know how to pull the strings

mighty rampart
#

or one of the devs clicking the wrong button but I doubt they'd make the same mistake twice

grizzled apex
#

And here I thought we were ahead of them, leaking the Melody Of The Egg

#

Dont mind that tho

mighty rampart
#

stuff from the past also coming into light

#

this is crazy

grizzled apex
#

Oh damn

hoary robin
#

And the things they add.... tend to be actually incredibly neat.

grizzled apex
#

Okay definitely some serious corruptions

hoary robin
#

and well... that's a wreck and a half, more hopes for derelict freighters it is πŸ˜„

grizzled apex
#

Looking at the symbol for these.... things... Is there some new entry in the guide? Or anything else that explains what's going on?

mighty rampart
#

I'll check, but most likely there wont be anything

subtle gorge
#

BRUH

#

yeah interactivity rn is limited

grizzled apex
#

I just hope that these things have some depth later on. Not just random floating rubble

uneven oak
#

ok so, to find weird stuff in space I just have to pulse jump and wait?

grizzled apex
#

Yep, as far as I ubderstand

uneven oak
#

nice, will try later

subtle gorge
#

i still don't feel like this is the whole update

mighty rampart
#

I think its intended to be surprise encounters as you go about your business

hoary robin
#

Long as you're on the experimental branch that is.

mighty rampart
#

yeah there's more datamined stuff that isn't working right now

grizzled apex
#

@subtle gorge
Yea, seeing as the update popped up so suddenly

mighty rampart
#

the experimental update is more about us testing if the bugfixes work

grizzled apex
#

What's been determined?

#

*Datamined

mighty rampart
#

something about more starship tech, bioships tech, keycards for possibly getting inside derelict freighters

grizzled apex
#

I saw some of the biotech, not sure abt keycards. What's the new starship tech?

#

Maybe some new scanner to trigger something with these Anomalies?

mighty rampart
#

no new entries in the guide btw

#

And idk the datamines, someone here mentioned in passing

grizzled apex
#

Damn. Guessed it, but thought it was worth a shit

#

Shot

sleek dragon
#

This just a teaser

grizzled apex
#

If HG knows what we are doing, and they probably do, they wouldn't make this easy for us

crisp fern
#

Yeah they would tho, they'd just timegate it 🀐

grizzled apex
#

We know that sean is here

mighty rampart
#

Such a fucking cop out, man

hoary robin
#

Eh, it'd fit in with the storyline though the existence of those storage jars makes me wonder if there'd possibly be some sort of jank data transfer of the Atlas's program to whatever else was running in a desperation bid to keep at least some of itself running

grizzled apex
#

What time do most announcements come?
Maybe narrow done a time?

mighty rampart
#

usually 4-6pm GMT

#

it's always around 11:30pm IST (my time) when they drop an update

#

along with the post

grizzled apex
#

Beyond dropped at 6 ish here I believe

#

Waiting for Xaine to go through the files

mighty rampart
#

some of the new stuff in the experimental patch does not have it listed in the catalogue

#

while some other are which shouldnt be there to begin with

grizzled apex
#

Yea. Most likely wont

mighty rampart
#

that's why I think there's gonna be more to the main update

#

experimental is mostly for us seeing if there's any important bugs

grizzled apex
#

Strange that they sent this to experimental first

mighty rampart
#

the main mission should work correctly

#

that's their priority here

#

along with the bugfixes and optimisations

grizzled apex
#

I love the optimizations of this update

mighty rampart
#

so far its working for me, and sent them feedback that 24 hours is insanely long wait

grizzled apex
#

Honestly want it to come out soon. Even if it doesn't have the new stuff

lone cedar
#

Huh I just did a monolith

#

And after I finished it said "atlas communications fully mapped". Any idea what that's about?

grizzled apex
#

Are you on the main quest?

lone cedar
#

Ohhh I'm jumping around random systems but I do have the last step of the purge active

grizzled apex
#

Ah that seems like the source

lone cedar
#

I got a random unusable "large freighter room" in my inventory after finding a crashed ship too

mighty rampart
#

seems like a bug, report it asap

#

!hg

#

oh right

grizzled apex
#

Just one question.
How long after the "Accidental Announcement" of Beyond did anything happen?

pseudo frost
#

2-3 hours

grizzled apex
#

Been longer than that now

mighty rampart
#

we got the exp patch

#

within that time

pseudo frost
#

And we also got the experimental update now exactly 2-3 hours after the accidenal event . I guesd they are just testing stability

grizzled apex
#

Ahh that's right

#

Well its now just a waiting game

mighty rampart
#

@crisp fern I sent my feedback on the atrocious timers

pseudo frost
#

Although patch notes would be better now instead of combing through stuff ourselves

mighty rampart
#

asking to reduce it to an hour, or outright remove them

lone cedar
#

I don't know that this is accidental

mighty rampart
#

@pseudo frost probably because they want us to test the bugfixes they did

lone cedar
#

Though no idea maybe there's a lot more to the update

mighty rampart
#

the new content is unfinished

grizzled apex
#

We console players are totally depending on you guys rn for info

lone cedar
#

Yeah it does feel like the derelict freighters should have more to them

pseudo frost
#

Its huh not at all clear whats new and all lol

mighty rampart
#

it will be with another patch, I'm sure of it

pseudo frost
#

You have lots of space stuff thats for sure

lone cedar
#

But I could see maybe there's a mini update to start populating space then when people start finishing the egg quest more unlocks

mighty rampart
#

I wonder if they'll call it 2.3 or 2.5

pseudo frost
#

So far

Dead freighter
New ship and freighter design
New organic ship
Pirate station
Space creatures
Asteroid stations?

mighty rampart
#

this experimental is 2.28

#

last 3 all belong to the same subject

grizzled apex
#

New freighter and ship designs? Asteroid stations? Any images
Haven't seen those

pseudo frost
#

Some asteroid message module was found

glass flare
#

i like big engines i cannot lie

pseudo frost
#

Then some new shuttle types and a new freighter type was also found

mighty rampart
#

that's the same as those other weird space shit

#

woah I didnt see new freighter

pseudo frost
#

Nah there are some new freighters and shuttles

grizzled apex
#

I saw the thicc shuttle but... new freighter?

mighty rampart
#

Pirate station Space creatures Asteroid stations?

#

all these are encompassing

#

that's what I mean

glass flare
#

also, NPCs will now trade in space

mighty rampart
#

the procedural space update

grizzled apex
#

Yea, glad they added that.
It's been sitting in the files for a long time now

#

Clarifying,
Npc space trade, not the update.
But who knows?🧐

glass flare
#

imagine if they dropped something like real orbital mechanics for planets

silent talon
#

New freighter? Pics pls

lone cedar
#

Ooo haven't seen the new stations yet

hoary robin
#

Don't think there's anything hard just yet Death, at least for freighters. There's been some commentary on it but no images just yet.

lone cedar
#

The space trading needs some serious loving. They offer you garbage right now

subtle gorge
mighty rampart
#

@subtle gorge is it the same ship design

subtle gorge
#

what do you mean?

#

i haven't seen Nyx's

mighty rampart
#

the same that was following you around, I mean

subtle gorge
#

seems to be

grizzled apex
#

How did you get it?
Natural spawn or by completing some quest?

hoary robin
#

Yes

#

it's tied to the void egg quest and can spawn in the usual circumstances.

subtle gorge
#

completing the quest

hoary robin
#

Yep! But you can also find flesh ships too πŸ˜„

#

in the wild. Mmm wild space whales.

subtle gorge
#

yknow

#

what if the anomalies are what that Exocraft was for

#

that mech

grizzled apex
#

I've seen the quest till the 21 hour wait

#

Did you go beyond that?

subtle gorge
#

yes

grizzled apex
#

What happened next?

subtle gorge
#

you went through a portal

#

collected some travellers souls

#

went back through the portal, found the ship, and ressurected it with the parts you made

grizzled apex
#

And it hatched the egg?

#

Or did you just get the ship following you for free?

subtle gorge
#

no i hatched the egg

mighty rampart
#

oh btw how many eggs did you have on you? 1?

grizzled apex
#

Looks awesome

#

If only the rest if the community got this update today

subtle gorge
#

1

#

also Sohail, is the mech still in the files?

mighty rampart
#

idk I dont do the datamines

subtle gorge
#

o

#

who does

mighty rampart
#

sometimes Moo, sometimes Sanser

#

and Xaine too

#

and I have 2 void eggs for some reason

#

never tried to dupe it or anything

#

one in my inventory, one in ship inventory

#

both are active

grizzled apex
#

I still dont understand why we can get multiple.
Maybe so we can do some trial and error testing?

subtle gorge
#

cause its obvious the update isn't finished

mighty rampart
#

you can hatch more eggs

#

more ships

grizzled apex
#

So the quest can be repeated?

outer cobalt
mighty rampart
#

yes and it repeats only at the last bit

grizzled apex
#

Okay

mighty rampart
#

like that screenshot

grizzled apex
#

I am seriously lagging behind

outer cobalt
#

You mean you don't have to do everything all over again?

mighty rampart
#

no thankfully

#

its just once

outer cobalt
#

phreee

#

phewwww*

mighty rampart
#

what I dont get is why are NPCs having these ships, I think that's an error

grizzled apex
#

If you flee, does the ship stay?

#

The host ship

outer cobalt
#

Maybe they visited the Nexus and bought some as well?

mighty rampart
#

lel

ripe rapids
#

@subtle gorge The mecha is still on the files, I checked yesterday

mighty rampart
#

according to the lore in story, the 2 races are not equipped at all to handle the ships

#

nor can the korvax who are part of the convergence

subtle gorge
#

wooOoOOoOoO

outer cobalt
#

I agree it is odd

subtle gorge
#

MAYBE IM RIGHT AND WE CAN USE THAT TO LAND ON STUFF

mighty rampart
#

I think they erroneously added those ships to the pool

#

otherwise why bother, just go to a system and buy the ship for like 3 mil

grizzled apex
#

@mighty rampart
Hmm. Couple that with the fact that we are contacted by a ship called The Host and...

INFECTION EVENT?
Idk

mighty rampart
#

no need to do this bullshit mission that is artificially stretched for 5 days

outer cobalt
#

Ahuh

grizzled apex
#

Maybe the 2 races are rejected, cuse the host needs metal, or machine to thrive on

mighty rampart
#

the host needs a divergent entity

#

which is us

grizzled apex
#

Perhaps it was designed as a weapon by the korvax

mighty rampart
#

perhaps

grizzled apex
#

Binding to an entity, helping them against the First Spawn perhaps

mighty rampart
#

its confirmed to be a product of Korvax Prime

outer cobalt
#

And why would we ever want to buy like 1000 of those eggs?

mighty rampart
#

1000 is just arbitary

outer cobalt
#

true, but still, 10 would suffice

mighty rampart
#

🀷 they just reused code

subtle gorge
#

reusing code isn't a problem

#

lol

mighty rampart
#

no one said

outer cobalt
#

It gave a diff expectation ... maybe that was the point?

subtle gorge
#

why be inneficcient?

grizzled apex
#

Maybe the experiment went astray. Perhaps they could not contain it. Perhaps that's what happened in other universes. Perhaps that led to the purges

subtle gorge
#

but yeah

#

nobody said otherwise so

mighty rampart
#

I'm saying that explains why we can buy 1000, same code that was used for fireworks

subtle gorge
#

im just dumping my idiot opinion

mighty rampart
#

lel

subtle gorge
#

it seems that actual inventory items allow you to do that

#

meanwhile cosmetics and base parts

#

yeah thats obvious

mighty rampart
grizzled apex
#

I'm just trying to tie this into the existing lore

mighty rampart
#

the brain of the ship is made with a korvax casing

#

along with Hexite and Pugneum

grizzled apex
#

Definitely seems like a plan B that the korvax had, if their original plan didnt work

#

Oh no wait I'm getting this wrong

#

Korvax prime was destroyed before the enslaving

mighty rampart
#

all the ship parts are called "experimental synthesis unit" during the quest

#

on a side note, I apparently found a planet called Garfieldea

#

lmao

covert wing
#

Really hope this lands on consoles soon. Looks NEAT

grizzled apex
#

This is really mysterious. Korvax prime was destroyed. The only other thing to exist from that world is the korvax simulation terminal

mighty rampart
#

the universes are collapsing. The past is resurfacing.

subtle gorge
#

is anyone talking about this?

mighty rampart
#

barely, outside of this server

subtle gorge
#

i mean this

grizzled apex
#

Yea. Seeing how the rubble of the first sowan exists

subtle gorge
#

i can't destroy this with my ships weapons

grizzled apex
#

Is it from the derelict freighter?

mighty rampart
#

maybe because

#

you need a mech :^)

subtle gorge
#

spacewalking baybeeee

#

exactly

mighty rampart
#

btw does it actually say "derelict freighter" or something?

#

honestly it just looks like crashed freighters but in space

#

how did you encounter it?

covert wing
#

pls add space walking

grizzled apex
#

Hmm. Wouldn't it have a red bar like the one you get when mining resources with the mining laser?

#

Saying you need a terrain manipulator?

mighty rampart
#

no, they didnt add that in the game

grizzled apex
#

Ok

outer cobalt
#

It appears these freighters can have different labels

mighty rampart
#

like?

outer cobalt
#

Lost Wreck

#

Abandoned Freighter

#

I see 3 at a glance

mighty rampart
#

so they are intended then, whew

sleek dragon
#

I can destroy the panel with my ship and there even cargo pods inside. Now we need to find out how to land on that freighter

grizzled apex
#

Anything relating to mechs or space walking in game?

mighty rampart
#

aside from that old datamine, no

grizzled apex
#

Does spamming the land button on asteroids work?πŸ˜†

subtle gorge
#

no

#

random anomaly encounters

pseudo frost
grizzled apex
#

Ahh worth a shot 😁

sleek dragon
#

I saw turret on the catalogue. Wonder what its use for

pseudo frost
#

This is the new freighter i meant

subtle gorge
#

oh it does

#

nvm

mighty rampart
#

that first thing isnt a freighter though

pseudo frost
#

The person said it warped in when they were flying

mighty rampart
#

it was one of those weird space things you encounter while pulse jumping

pseudo frost
grizzled apex
subtle gorge
#

theres something in there

#

looks like a storage container

mighty rampart
#

covered in goop

subtle gorge
grizzled apex
#

There are definitely new assets in there

mighty rampart
#

oh it was dust

subtle gorge
#

there's another just like it

grizzled apex
#

So no copy pasting of the crashed ones

mighty rampart
#

seems like the same to me though

grizzled apex
#

It appears less... wrecked?

lone cedar
#

Alright so I just finished the purge quest

#

And did another monolith, and still get the "atlas communications fully mapped" message

#

The wonder if that's for something new

grizzled apex
#

Can someone check lang files?

#

And check previous version?

outer cobalt
#

UI_ATLAS_WORD_KNOWN (LOC6)

lone cedar
#

Huh so it thinks I know all the atlas words?

mighty rampart
#

oh fuck they fixed the atlas language?

#

also

#

it even has the atlas icon

grizzled apex
#

What interactions are possible?

outer cobalt
#

By the way, that sentence was not in LOC6 in the previous version

grizzled apex
#

So definitely new

outer cobalt
#

It appears there are Atlas POIs

grizzled apex
#

What kinds of sfx does it emit?

subtle gorge
hoary robin
#

ohhh fancy derliect.

outer cobalt
#

@mighty rampart, that's an Atlas Beacon, also new

grizzled apex
#

Of all the things we have seen, I find the atlas messenger and the number machine really interesting

outer cobalt
#

I am still waiting to see a few more ;-)

#

Not sure they are currently all available though

mighty rampart
#

all the space objects that have the purple + star icon seem to just be aesthetics

outer cobalt
#

Most have just some short text, others a bit more with short interaction, it seems

grizzled apex
#

Then does the atlas one have an Iteraction?

mighty rampart
#

couldnt find it unfortunately

outer cobalt
#

I have not looked into it all that deep

#

Not yet anyways.

#

I am not in a hurry to be honest

grizzled apex
#

Any interesting sean tweets?

mighty rampart
sleek dragon
#

Do we need to finish the egg quest to encounter the new ship ?

mighty rampart
#

yes, though they're also spawning as NPC ships too

#

in systems

outer cobalt
#

I found some UI messages interesting where they have a value like below or similar:

Stimulus( traveller ); Depolarise( ); PriorityImpulse( atlas, reportSeed ); Repolarise( ); Rest( )

No clue what that means just yet

sleek dragon
#

Ahh ok then

mighty rampart
#

Rest is landing

grizzled apex
#

Ahh all this is mysterious

mighty rampart
#

loving it

grizzled apex
#

Imagine sean looking at us all freaking out, laughing to himself

mighty rampart
#

I first thought it's just a +

grizzled apex
#

Looks like a ship

#

Or some sort of defense symbol

mighty rampart
#

almost, yeah

outer cobalt
#

Hmmm, that icon is called BUILDING.POI

mighty rampart
#

πŸ€”

#

why does sean retweet twice

#

its annoying

grizzled apex
#

Probs just pointing to the fact that they spawn like buildings on planets

mighty rampart
#

he just retweeted his own tweet of that funny dog cgi video

grizzled apex
#

But do they? How to they spawn?

#

Anyone figured that out from the files?

outer cobalt
#

What happens if we do not treat the egg well? All of a sudden reminded of the Tamagotchi

mighty rampart
#

well how do you treat it badly

hoary robin
#

Giving it to Chronos πŸ˜›

mighty rampart
#

he doesnt have the option

grizzled apex
#

Refine it

#

Heard it gives ferrite dust

#

Or cook itπŸ˜„

subtle gorge
#

your combat frigate's deployed ships seem to be actual ships

#

instead of sentinel ones

real sapphire
#

Just asking, will this update be a major (eg NEXT, BEYOND) or minor (VISIONS, ABYSS)

grizzled apex
#

It doesn't seem to be something on the level of Beyond, but definitely astep above Abyss. Cant really say rn

subtle gorge
#

we dont know

#

probably Abyss

#

UHHHH

grizzled apex
#

No

#

No way

#

Are there breeding grounds for these ships!?

quiet horizon
#

Ohshit shoot the void egg

#

Also I don't think so?

grizzled apex
#

Either way it is cool

subtle gorge
#

no

#

you kill it

#

its an upgrade

grizzled apex
#

For the new ships i presume

winged meadow
#

Yeah it gave me a module for the warp organ when i got that

hoary robin
#

yep, some times they get out of your ship and go for a walk about πŸ˜›

grizzled apex
#

Anything else?

mental socket
#

Heck sean. When do we get update trailer and patch notes

hoary robin
#

Soon(TM)

hybrid pendant
#

soon

#

they are 6 quest

covert wing
#

NEWS PLEASE

hybrid pendant
#

@native frost did all of them and unlocked a new ship

pseudo frost
#

Remember the mech suit?

#

I bet we will use it to land on those asteroid thingies

hybrid pendant
#

u might be onto something...

pseudo frost
#

Maybe

subtle gorge
#

WENSDAY NEWS DAY

#

yeah i think everyone is saying that @pseudo frost

#

we have evidence of spacewalking

#

freighters have interiors that are obviously meant for on foot

hybrid pendant
#

8 hours to go

subtle gorge
#

uh no

#

they have like

#

actual explorable interiors

#

hold on

gloomy isle
#

Could the mechs feasibly be EVA suits or drones?

hybrid pendant
#

maybe

subtle gorge
hybrid pendant
#

depends if they have jetpack

#

u mean the fregates @subtle gorge

subtle gorge
#

they're freighters though

#

frigates are smaller

quiet horizon
#

The crashed ones in space, they're talking about

hybrid pendant
quiet horizon
#

So glad they decided to put more stuff in space man

hybrid pendant
#

it was needed

#

i understand people that wanted more variation but fuck space needed some refresh

#

we havent have space exploration in years

#

the only thing we got major was rings

subtle gorge
#

yes

#

but everytihng insite derelict freighters are obviously meant for on foot

#

also we haven't had space exploration at all

#

Rings barely serve a purpose

hybrid pendant
#

yeah

#

i mean i surf on them for fun

subtle gorge
#

space has always been a vapid nothing

hybrid pendant
#

because space is nothing?

pseudo frost
#

Oh nice

#

Finally something to do

#

Now there are like two major stuff to do that is left to make nms complete

hybrid pendant
#

strip clubs?

pseudo frost
#
  1. make the scale of stuff a bit more proper , compare it with games like AC Odyssey etc
  2. add more stuff for variety wherever possible
#

That can be a dlc

subtle gorge
#

i don't think they're doing paid dlc

hybrid pendant
#

i think variety is next after space update

pseudo frost
#

I was joking

subtle gorge
#

the model they have has proven to be insanely profitable

#

but yeah

hybrid pendant
#

a space update was trully needed

subtle gorge
#

also

hybrid pendant
#

variation can wait a bit

subtle gorge
#

scale is fine, it just doesn't come off that way in space for some reason

pseudo frost
#

In space its ok, its on planets where scale is so off

subtle gorge
#

elaborate please

hybrid pendant
#

maybe in vr its better?

#

that why it was implemented

#

to immerse u even more

subtle gorge
#

i mean

#

from what i've played

#

in VR it looks wonderful

#

EXCUSE ME

#

SYSTEM CONFLICT DETECTED

#

SPACE BATTLES CAN BREAK OUT ANYTIME NOW

hybrid pendant
#

?

pseudo frost
#

Nice

hybrid pendant
#

what?

subtle gorge
#

im flying around

pseudo frost
#

Thats how it should be

#

Yeah random space battles can happen anytime now

subtle gorge
#

just got a comm message

#

saying "help us pls"

#

and yep

#

space battles can just

#

break out

#

i wish they were bigger tho

grizzled apex
#

Freighter battles or pirate style battles?

subtle gorge
#

the freighter rescue missions

uncut harness
#

You talking about the β€˜pirate scanning you’ kind of battles?

subtle gorge
#

they just

#

happen at random now

#

instead of only on entering a system

uncut harness
#

Those have been in the game for awhile now

subtle gorge
#

yes

grizzled apex
#

Awesome

subtle gorge
#

they aren't new

#

BUT

#

they only happen on entering a system

grizzled apex
#

They happen randomly

uncut harness
#

I’ve had random battles happen upon loading my game

#

Sooo

subtle gorge
#

iirc

#

its on system enter

#

from any point

#

Nexus

mental socket
#

now they happen outside of loading in system?

subtle gorge
#

freighter

#

yes

#

yes they do

uncut harness
#

Loading a save though?

grizzled apex
#

Damn who knows what else is there now

subtle gorge
#

yes

#

now they are just

#

random

uncut harness
#

This is from a year ago

#

Wait wrong vid

#

Ok 5 months ago but still

this is a bug

uncut harness
#

I suppose

grizzled apex
#

Yep

coral nova
#

do you encounter the new space anomalies after warping or even during pulse?

grizzled apex
#

Quite an old bug
Never heard of another Instance tho

uncut harness
#

Either way in the 400 hours I’ve played I’m certain that freighter defense battles have been happening at random long before today

coral nova
#

Me with my mere 200 hours would like to confirm that

uncut harness
#

Lol

coral nova
#

jeez it's already 244 now

#

I have to stop checking that number from now on

uncut harness
#

I’d have more if I didn’t have a full time job and other games to distract me

#

Anyway I’m curious if today is the official release

#

Or maybe next Tuesday

cursive kernel
#

Apparently PS4 just got an update?

mighty rampart
#

11.1 GB as if its reinstalling the whole game again

uncut harness
#

If I were home I would be able to confirm that

rain coral
#

So

uncut harness
#

It’sHappening.jpg

rain coral
#

Anything new sohail

uncut harness
#

From SouthernCard on twitter

mighty rampart
#

version 2.3

#

it makes it sound small

#

like synthesis

#

but it turned out to be pretty significant

rain coral
#

What's in it

#

And why doesn't pc have it

wispy geyser
#

Can confirm PS4 is downloading now.

hybrid pendant
#

pc have it for almost 24 hours lol

rain coral
#

You mean the experimental modeπŸ₯¦

#

Or was there an actual update

wispy geyser
#

I think exp was a teaser.

rain coral
#

Yea

hybrid pendant
#

i dont know

uncut harness
#

It’s probably 11gb because of the optimizations and doesn’t the ps4 version also have a wildly different file size compared to the pc anyway?

mighty rampart
#

afaik it doesnt do the patch system like of steam, so when there's a proper content update it has to nearly redownload the game

#

I remember synthesis also being around the same size

subtle gorge
#

i hear spoiler

mighty rampart
subtle gorge
#

oh

mighty rampart
#

my UI scale is at 80%

cursive kernel
#

How's New Lennon's grass faring on experimental

neon trellis
#

Do we know when it's coming to stable?

quiet horizon
#

Soon probably, as PS4 has just recently gotten 2.30, which may include the experimental content

mighty rampart
#

dunno, but it might be sooner if PS4 got the update

#

but I dont think it will be the exact same as experimental

#

some stuff is missing

#

its not a complete update for the new content

cursive kernel
#

I hope it isn't tbh

quiet horizon
#

It isn't? Alright, cool

subtle gorge
#

it probably wont be

quiet horizon
#

Thanks for clarifying

cursive kernel
#

I want my grass back

uncut harness
mighty rampart
#

IKR

#

holy shit was that awful

#

wait that's a really old version of the game

#

I had this happening to me in 1.7

mighty rampart
#

I'm still chuckling at dummy thicc shuttle

uncut harness
#

Lol

mighty rampart
#

someone's streaming

#

PS4 confirmed to have the new stuff

grizzled apex
#

Great, thanks.
Downloading now

native frost
#

Yeah the PS4 dl is 11Gb because it literally downloads the whole game again

subtle gorge
#

the way this whole ordeal is being handled is sus

#

no announcement whatsoever

native frost
#

It doesn't patch it, it just downloads it again with the new content

subtle gorge
#

not even a summon from sean yet today

native frost
#

I don't think this is everything

subtle gorge
#

exactly.

native frost
#

This is a large content update and we got NOTHING from communication

#

Other than egg, and the things needed to build a living ship

subtle gorge
#

yeah but

mighty rampart
#

wasnt visions like this?

subtle gorge
#

sort of

#

it was leaked a day before

mighty rampart
#

funny beard man tweeted rainbows, then pushed the update and gave a trailer only later?

subtle gorge
#

the update on PS4/XBONE seems identical

#

the thing about this update is that it has a certain feeling of...unfinished

mighty rampart
#

not a feeling, it's literally unfinished
If we had someone reliable with a PS4 we'll know better

quiet horizon
#

Someone reliable howso?

subtle gorge
#

i'll try to get a PS4

mighty rampart
#

who has PS4 and can check with us right now

subtle gorge
#

lol

#

it seems freighters work identically

quiet horizon
#

I have a ps4 but it'll be a while before it updates

#

Like tomorrow a while

#

Bad internet life

mighty rampart
#

for example:

  1. does the catalogue have the new stuff? it only halfway does in exp
  2. does the catalogue have new base parts
  3. is there a way to access the derelict space ships
covert wing
#

my update is done in 12 minutes

mighty rampart
#

sweet, report back when its done

covert wing
#

I'll keep you updated

#

now 11 minutes left

mighty rampart
#

my first 2 points will be very easy to find out immediately

covert wing
#

God it's so fucking slow. Fucking fuck Sony fuck

mighty rampart
#

funny thing about the void egg: first you grind for days to get that quicksilver, after that you grind 4 more days to finish the quest legitimately

#

stretching out the whole thing so much its about to break

covert wing
#

I don't have an egg so I assume I won't actually get anything out of this update

#

awesome

mighty rampart
#

pulse jump around anyway

#

the other things do not require eggs

covert wing
#

Played 30 minutes of horrible boring missions yesterday just so I could earn 1000 QS or so

mighty rampart
#

as we all noticed, the new ships are still spawning by NPCs

#

that too kinda cheap

covert wing
#

even without the egg?

mighty rampart
#

3mil

#

yep

covert wing
#

Oh ok

#

No problem then

idle quest
#

Wait, what is in the new update?

mighty rampart
#

there's no official patch notes

covert wing
#

new gek costumes

mighty rampart
#

we saw some stuff but its too early to say what's really going on

idle quest
#

Imma get on my game

covert wing
#

where's the damn SPACE STUFF

native frost
#

Pulse jump

covert wing
#

I'm hella pulse jumping

real sapphire
#

gosh

#

what happened to the shuttles

#

they look like shit now xD

mighty rampart
#

idk man they look kinda ||hot and thicc|| to me

#

so the patch notes do not mention the two new multitool beams

#

it means they are only for the purpose of the mission

proud inlet
#

For now at least

real sapphire
#

can living ship spawn as npc's ship?

mighty rampart
#

@real sapphire it seems to be for some reason

#

That's how some players got it in the exp patch

scenic pollen
#

Do we have to feed the ship? giga

real sapphire
#

so the spawn, can i assume its as rare as exotic?

hybrid pendant
real sapphire
#

feed your soul

#

@scenic pollen

#

mehehehehehe

scenic pollen
#

LOL

#

Okay that organic ship looks derpy

#

Like a big pepe

hybrid pendant
scenic pollen
mighty rampart
#

I'm typing the portal coords here because it's convenient

ember fog
#

They remind me of Graboids from the movie Tremors blobfish

mighty rampart
#

Ah fuck I messed it up

hybrid pendant
winged meadow
#

So im guessing the path you take on the egg quest influences the design of the ship you get?

hybrid pendant
#

kinda

#

@native frost πŸ˜‰

native frost
#

Eyy you got one Jordan?

mighty rampart
native frost
#

Congrats my man

hybrid pendant
#

no

#

lol

winged meadow
#

What are those coords

hybrid pendant
#

not yet

native frost
#

Oh rip, haha

#

Those are needed for the quest

winged meadow
#

Ok i screenshotted that real quick πŸ™‚

native frost
#

I just can't wait to get home and play more

winged meadow
#

They need to give us a bigger freighter hanger!

hybrid pendant
#

?

#

why

winged meadow
#

Or let us use all 9 spots for ships

#

Cus i want to collect. Not have to decide which to disown

mighty rampart
#

Whew it's the right coords

#

And yeah I agree, we need a bigger hangar soon

lusty hare
#

you guys are all on experimental, I take it? no update for normal yet?

mighty rampart
#

Wait don't we have the same coords @native frost

#

Not on normal yet @lusty hare

native frost
#

Yes Sohail

lusty hare
#

hokays

native frost
#

They're the same for everyone

mighty rampart
#

Oh wait I have internet off

native frost
#

Maybe different in different galaxies though idk

mighty rampart
#

That's why it says first contact

native frost
#

Yeah lol

#

Internet on it's called "NMSCORD Void Egg - Nyxara"

hybrid pendant
#

u have another type of alien ship nyx

native frost
#

I do

#

The type from the quest

hybrid pendant
native frost
real sapphire
#

so you can find those in trading post?

native frost
#

You can yeah

uncut harness
#

No Graboids Sky

native frost
#

Same rarity as exotics iirc

mighty rampart
#

They might remove that though

real sapphire
#

Scans for trading post

native frost
#

Yeah could be a bug

real sapphire
#

guess what, my ill-fated secondary ship probably be replaced with bioship

mighty rampart
#

Also @native frost when you were doing this soul slurping part, did it actually give you waypoint icons?

native frost
#

Nope, just co-ords

mighty rampart
#

I'm getting waypoints blobfish

#

Ok it was just for the building

#

Nvm

hybrid pendant
#

this game

#

it never disapoint to surprise me

fathom notch
#

how do you find the space structures?

ember fog
#

Watching Xaine do the coords part was hilariously painful blobfish

hybrid pendant
#

i did the coords part too

#

it is painfull

native frost
#

The best was the ocean planet

hybrid pendant
#

there was 6 quest right?

#

if u remember nyx

native frost
#

There was uh

#

The brain stem, the heart, the spine, the shell, the soul

#

That might be it

hybrid pendant
#

ok soo now

#

no more big updates

#

soo i wonder how often we will get those size of updates

#

each 1-2 months?

native frost
#

Yeah there was only 5 fetch quests

#

4 timegates

hybrid pendant
#

so 5 days sorta

real sapphire
#

tho tbh, if anyone kind enough to give me an egg or two, i'm happy πŸ™‚

#

either that, i gotta wait till weekend to have sufficient quicksilver

hybrid pendant
#

sure

#

@real sapphire πŸ˜‰

real sapphire
#

PS4 tho

hybrid pendant
#

fuck

real sapphire
#

exactly

uncut harness
#

O boi

hybrid pendant
#

it means small variety update

#

remember visions?

native frost
#

Dragon If I was on PS4 I'd give you a few but I'm not 😩

hybrid pendant
real sapphire
#

@native frost 😦

hybrid pendant
#

i dont remember seeing this type of table before

ember fog
#

T A B L E

rough copper
#

lol, where you getting the idea there will be no more big updates?

#

"Whilst we continue to work on more radical things longer term in the background, in the meantime we are experimenting with releasing content we know the community would enjoy as soon as we’re able." Chill.

uncut harness
#

Cool table

fathom notch
#

new table new table new table!

#

does anyone know how to find the space structures,,

rough copper
#

pulse drive, when it says there is something out there and to slow down, slow down, and it will appear

upper void
#

"omg guys new table"

#

lol

rough copper
#

table variety increasing towards the center of the galaxy

uncut harness
#

I wonder if the space structures work in multiplayer

#

Like, encountering them

upper void
#

also

sleek dragon
#

Every table procedural

upper void
#

how do we know theres no more big updates?

uncut harness
#

We don’t

#

It’s just someone reading too deep into what funny beard man said

rough copper
#

I literally just posted a quote from sean saying that's not the case lol

#

it was a series of tweets, sounds like whoever thinks that only read the first tweet then stopped. the full text is also on the website

uncut harness
#

They’d be a great buzzfeed/kotaku β€˜journalist’

upper void
#

ah ok

#

thanks

rough copper
#

lol people freaking out when we're pretty much in the best case scenario as far as update schedule goes

uncut harness
#

Mhm

upper void
#

lol

#

i love this i just still want big updates

mighty rampart
#

They literally said they're gonna do both big updates and small updates

#

How can you misread that

#

Finally my own meatallic horror

uncut harness
#

meatallic

fathom notch
uncut harness
#

have people starting compiling the variations of new ships yet?

fathom notch
#

it told me to go fuck myself

mighty rampart
#

There was a post with 9 of them

upper void
#

is it still only on exp?

#

i went off of experimental and lost my egg and starbirth quest

mighty rampart
uncut harness
#

ooo

mighty rampart
#

same

uncut harness
#

i like the antennae

#

they all also seem to have those stripes?

winged badge
#

It wont let me upload photo dang

upper void
#

ive got no idea if it updated or not

mighty rampart
uncut harness
#

gotta get lvl 10 fam

upper void
#

egg and quest are just gone

mighty rampart
#

@upper void its still exp only

upper void
#

ok

winged badge
#

Wym level 10?

mighty rampart
#

type .xp in #bot-spam

uncut harness
#

you gain xp in the server by talking, when you get enough of it, you will get lvl 10 + image permissions

gloomy otter
#

To all the questions about the patch. It is live on PS4, stem growth etc.

#

Exploring more into the patch to find out more details.

upper void
#

RIP Planet Vaporwave

stuck fulcrum
#

oof underground

brave path
#

Is the void egg a ship egg? How do I hatch it?

mighty rampart
#

get the egg first

#

keep it in your inventory

uncut harness
#

^ the update and related questline may be dropping later today, take it with a grain of salt

mighty rampart
#

then just pulse jump around for a couple mins until you notice a popup

uncut harness
#

what is that

mighty rampart
#

derelict freighter

uncut harness
#

ic tapeworm coming out of that panel

#

a

also nice ship, is it amber-colored?

mighty rampart
uncut harness

PHAT

mighty rampart

nah its beige

uncut harness

aa ic

mighty rampart
uncut harness
#

wait this reminds me of something cursed

mighty rampart
#

this is making me think of that intestinal nightmare Giygas in Earthbound

uncut harness
#

ww ive heard good things abt earthbound/mother but havent seen gameplay of them

viral yarrow
#

Can you land on the freighter ships?

mighty rampart
#

no

viral yarrow
#

Ah

#

Maybe some other time

mighty rampart
#

they're like, broken beyond anything

uncut harness
viral yarrow
#

That’s a perfect representation

mighty rampart
#

lmfao Strenx

brave path
#

Thanks! @mighty rampart

uncut harness
#

im crying

#

what is that??

mighty rampart
#

some weird metal shit

#

I could shoot it

#

it dropped le rusty spoon

#

I sold it for 100k

quasi niche
#

Quick question: I have the egg, where do I pick up the quest to hatch it?

viral yarrow
#

Consume it

gloomy otter
#

Pulse in space until further contact

quasi niche
#

Thanks! I'll go do that.

gloomy otter
#

When you encounter the timer. You can set your PS4 manually ahead a day, to expedite the progression. Tested myself. Works like a charm. But make sure you have back up saves Incase something goes wrong.

mighty rampart
#

this was honestly the best and worst mission I've ever done in this game

#

@gloomy otter and when you need to change the timer again, just revert it. The game counts it as 24 hrs again even if its reverse

gloomy otter
#

Awesome! Thank you for that tip!

mighty rampart
#

now my screenshots order is messed up lol

sleek dragon
#

lmao that engine

#

So Thicc !

real sapphire
#

still can't find a npc living ship

uncut harness
#

Finally got the egg. I assume I have to complete that first puzzle from a few days ago to get the questline?

mighty rampart
#

hmm we dont know

#

just keep the egg with you and start pulse jumping to any random direction

#

preferably for a solid minute or two

#

until you get the pop up

uncut harness
#

I’ll try that, thanks. πŸ‘

real sapphire
#

i want an egg 😩

uncut harness
#

Oh I’ve got it. It worked

mighty rampart
#

nice, enjoy!

real sapphire
#

700 qs short

mighty rampart
#

3 days of QS

real sapphire
#

😩

uncut harness
#

Have you completed the story missions yet?

#

Like, Artemis?

real sapphire
#

looooooong ago

cloud epoch
#

i guess that answers my question/speculation about mostly only getting traders and bargainers in a commercial wealthy system lol

uncut harness
#

makes sense

violet narwhal
#

That may apply to the stuff in space too (or instead?).

crisp fern
violet narwhal
#

Today's internal may be fixing that?

#

But it did seem weird and perhaps unintentional...

fluid moat
#

is the patch still experimental only?

crisp fern
#

It's better that way

fluid moat
#

or is it a full on update now?

violet narwhal
#

Experimental only.

uncut harness
#

pc is currently waiting for the update

#

i think ps4 and xbox got it tho thoinking

violet narwhal
#

Yes

crisp fern
#

Like am I mistaken or when you can hatch other living ships, and some of their tech, does it still take 24 hours for that stuff?

violet narwhal
#

Good question.

crisp fern
#

Or is that strictly for the first mission run?

#

Because holy shit if it's otherwise, biiig RIP

#

@native frost whenever you happen to be back on, do additional eggs require wait period to hatch or does an interaction just skip that or something?

hard stirrup
#

Where can we find the rest of the blueprints for the living ships? You know.....system drives, scanners, etc.....no new station or tech vendor on the anomaly or space stations.

crisp fern
#

Space exploration, in part, from what I gather

#

So pulse jump around space to find objects of interest to investigate

nocturne zephyr
#

This is boring. Sorry

hard stirrup
#

I did....found some derelict freighters.....I could blast some doors and see interactable containers but I couldn't interact with them because there was nowhere to land the ship....I was stuck just looking at them.

#

I tried blasting the containers and it didn't work.

nocturne zephyr
#

Just float in space and stare

crisp fern
#

There's other stuff to find besides those, but dunno the odds yet of coming across them

hard stirrup
#

I also found a first spawn statue but I couldn't do anything with it....flew around tried shooting various bits...no use.

crisp fern
#

Supposedly you can find other eggs for tech, but not sure if those are found via space objects or some other means

vague shuttle
#

Hmmm, so there were interactable containers? Try summoning your freighter so a frigate is near the derelict and jump from the frigate.

crisp fern
#

You can't

#

I tried yesterday

#

It won't let you call in freighter near space object because πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

vague shuttle
#

Ah, too bad.

nocturne zephyr
#

So why would they implement derelict freighters that you can't land on and explore... The ships are pretty awesome but besides that, eh

hard stirrup
#

I can't post screenshots here?

fluid moat
#

upload them to imgur

#

and send the link here

crisp fern
fluid moat
#

or that

crisp fern
#

whichever works for ya

hard stirrup
#

Pointless.....not bothering.

fluid moat
#

it depends if it's an actual spoiler or not

inner pulsar
#

they are just recycles frighters from planets

#

all they did was move them to space

hard stirrup
#

No I mean I literally can't post a screenshot here...the button to upload it is just not here....at all.

fluid moat
#

yeah you need to upload it to imgur or somewhere else

nocturne zephyr
#

Wow that was such a fun 20 minutes playing NMS. Time to wait until Friday to play the content hahahahahaha

fluid moat
#

and copy the link here

inner pulsar
#

you can set clocks forward

fluid moat
#

I actually have a server I use to do this

hard stirrup
#

Literally every other discord in existence allows screenshots....except this nonsense.

violet narwhal
crisp fern
#

already mentioned that

hard stirrup
#

That is irrelevant to this discussion....no point putting screenshots where they are literally irrelevant.

mighty rampart
violet narwhal
#

You can paste a link to your screenshot post into here or whatever.. But yes, this server has an anomalous level requirement, but not really anything you can do to change that...

mighty rampart
#

So people stop asking the same question over and over

uncut harness
#

nice, i was about to ask lmao

jovial stag
#

if that's the answer... what's the question again? πŸ˜‰

mighty rampart
#

"what egg?"
"how do I get the egg?"
"I have egg, now what?"
"I'm in x part of mission, I'm stuck"

tepid iris
#

so they're aiming for one update per month, nice

fluid moat
#

also new stuff every week

mighty rampart
#

probably not a fixed roadmap though

#

new stuff every week is the quicksilver stuff and yeah there's quite a lot more to unlock

half harbor
#

Is there easy way to grind quicksilver for the egg

mighty rampart
#

not more than 250 a day if you're playing everyday

crisp fern
#

does it cover if you have to wait for subsequent eggs to hatch beyond the first? thonk

mighty rampart
#

weekend mission will start friday evening, that gives 1200QS

half harbor
#

Oo thats cool

cloud epoch
#

wait whut, where is the update cadence mentioned?

mighty rampart
#

@crisp fern no, you do the story with only 1 egg

#

after that when you get another egg you just have that ship come at you again and asks do u wanna hatch it

#

say yes and its a new ship

crisp fern
#

just right away?

mighty rampart
#

ya

#

well it doesnt really "hatch", you just find another crashed bioship

crisp fern
#

do we know how it goes with organs yet?

cloud epoch
#

oh sean tweets got it

mighty rampart
#

in the start of the trailer, you saw a floating void egg yeah?

#

they're kinda rare and random in space, similar to the other space encounters

crisp fern
#

i just mean wait vs. hatch right away

mighty rampart
#

shoot it and you get a random tech upgrade module

#

oh nah no waiting, its basically the last part of that ship interaction with no need for organs

#

void egg ends up being a planetary chart for a crashed bioship

#

in practice

cloud epoch
#

yeah u do steps 1-6 the first time ,subsequent eggs just skip straight to step 6

violet narwhal
#

Hmm, could someone else join you, and take the ship instead of you?

crisp fern
#

i obviously don't trust them not to make you wait at every turn, lol

cloud epoch
#

lol

#

i mean presuuuuumably u can find crashed alien ships that are dmamaged?

#

i goobered mine by opening the distress beacon first lol

#

then i reverted save and did it right

mighty rampart
#

btw if you open that beacon first, that thing persists if you reload your save

#

I had to reload the game to fix it

crisp fern
#

how does interacting with distress beacon first throw it off? thonk

cloud epoch
#

turns it into a crashed ship with broken tech rather than pristine quest ship

crisp fern
#

o

#

lol

cloud epoch
#

i had fully backed up save copy so i quit and copied over the backup

#

my glitch paranoia served me well twice, that and getting trapped inside portal geometry (sent that one to HG zendesk)

gilded tusk
#

I have 6 ships. Do I have to scrap one to claim the one from my Egg? Or just arrive there with the one I want to trade for it?

cloud epoch
#

yes?

#

scrapping one would probably be the best economically

tepid iris
#

I wish there was a perm way of passively earning quicksilver

gilded tusk
#

Yeah I suppose, thank you

tepid iris
#

havent really had the time to do any of the weekend events πŸ˜›

mighty rampart
#

might as well yeet QS

#

make it be for units instead

crisp fern
#

p. much

gilded tusk
#

I just do Hunt Dangerous Pirates for quicksilver once a day and the weekend event on Friday

tepid iris
#

do all the items stay in the shop? or do they remove occasionally

crisp fern
#

just cost crazy amounts of units and boom, everyone has their silly unit sink they've been requesting

gilded tusk
#

Time consuming part is waiting for a Pirates mission

mighty rampart
#

nothing has ever been removed from the shop

tepid iris
#

nice

#

i wonder if the carbon planters actually work now πŸ˜›

mighty rampart
#

OH

#

I should try that lol

gilded tusk
#

They worked for me before, just with a power symbol saying they weren't powered

tepid iris
#

and not buildable

#

the ones one my freighter didn't regen tho

gilded tusk
#

Maybe I got lucky, haven't used them in a month or two tbh

mighty rampart
tepid iris
#

nice!

proper geyser
#

How do I start the living shit quest line?

inner pulsar
#

get on the toilet

gilded tusk
#

I heard you just Pulse

mighty rampart
uncut harness
#

flew close to the ground at a hexite harvest site for the egg, got stuck in a piece of freighter as it loaded in 😭

grim lintel
#

I've heard from some people that the void egg ships look the same because everyone is getting them from the same location. Is that true?

gilded tusk
#

Only when people use coordinates and portals

mighty rampart
#

But they don't look the same

gilded tusk
#

If you follow your own quest it depends where you are

mighty rampart
#

4 of us here have posted doing the mission, we got different looking or differently coloured ships

grim lintel
#

Do I still need to visit the planet from last week first?

#

I was on route, but got distracted.

uncut harness
#

i have bebe now 😌
