Hey. The only way to start the quest (get the egg) is to buy it in the quicksilver shop?
Or have someone give you one
i was messaged i think after the chamber, but then i was directed through the portal i came from and my living ship was like on a different section of the planet and thats it
well i could find out, i have the cracked egg still
Okay ... you donโt know what time the weekly starts?
im also playing on creative
its labelled as a "cracking egg" now, but if i get other new eggs i can get those to get more ships
Like 6 hours @cosmic willow
Wouldn't think so cause shouldn't it use a normal egg after the first ship
i just have to wait to be contacted, then it'll direct me to a planet in my system and usually a ship will be there, otherwise the spot where it shows me to go will be empty, but thats due to a bug i think
Wondering if having the last step already would bypass the other steps
@icy citrus What time zone? =)
@icy citrus wouldn't think so but I can try I guess
I'm est, they are gmt
Ok. Thanks!
an interesting thing i did find out however, is that it doesn't matter where the egg is, if you've got the egg in one of your inventories (exosuit, ship or freighter) you can still trigger the quest to start and it will consume an egg
The second one just has you use an egg and nanites though, yes?
yeah
You haven't had any bugs from claiming more than one?
It's such a pain to try and get the living ship working cause it was broken I cant even fly it yet
egg for starting the quest, then i get directed somewhere, where a ship will usually be, then i can decide to syntehise it for nanites, and then i can decide to swap it or add to collection
@sullen sundial also I found 2 diplos in the system it took me to
(The atlas path)
i just found a random alien ship on my planet and i could just claim it is this normal ?
@icy citrus the only bug related claiming more is that sometimes when it directs me somewhere , the ship won't actually be there, so i have to go somewhere pretty far and then reset the quest so it can spawn a new ship in the system i'm in
so its a bug
atleast as far as we know
They specifically stated they wouldn't be in the wild
go play some lottery today @karmic narwhal lol
So I would guess that buying and finding is unintended
i had no egg no quest it was just there
unless you somehow managed to get into a game with someone running the quest and found their ship
imagine
it said that the host might accept me
huh nothing to repair just a strait up free ship
Lucky traveller!
whats it look like?
screenshot pls
im on ps4 kinda hard to send an image
make a pic with your phone and send us ๐คฃ
so that at a distress beacon or just randomly sitting there?
It told me there was a host there and i should go get it its the blue egg icon
weird, well count yourself lucky then lol ๐
just found another new encounter, Jettisoned Storage Silo
Welp, my living ship changed colors. I did not consent to this.
Fortunately, it seems that the game is compensating me for this by offering me a new ship entirely for free.
I still dont know what colour my ship is
I think its whitish pink
but it also goes gray
and blue
AHH finding the second organ for the alien ship is proving to be extreeeeemely frustrating! Unstable coordinates... I would seem to be in the averaged center of them but can see absolutely nothing with my Analysis Visor around there... it's really frustrating.
(also the egg picked a planet with cloudy storms on the regular so visibility is very much affected too)
they're not really in the average centre, but you should look for yet another one of those ancient plaques
Are they marked with the knowledge stone icon on the visor?
yeah it'll show as an Unknown Building in the visor...
also make sure you're on the correct +/- co-ords rather than being on the opposite side, that happened to me once
I will double check that the next time I'm in... that would seem to be the most likely problem if I can't find absolutely anything around.
@mighty rampart nice... mine is still cooking... set the normal save away along with the creative one... just a waiting game now
can you choose the colour of the ships?
no, its random
well, yeah, I should have guessed that... ๐
you can skip the timer by changing your clock
in no hurry... building my trucking empire ๐
i'm just mentioning it, because if you let it cook normally then you'll wait for several days for all of them combined
yeah I know, just want to let it happen the way its been designed to happen and then see if there are any issues... if there are they'll get reported if not its no biggie... as I'm playing ATS in the mean time between checking on things...
maybe im dumb but the quicksilver vendor isnt selling an egg to start the quest - am I missing something?
its the first page
you got multiplayer enabled?
if thats the case ask if anybody can give you one
sometimes ppl hand them out
thats my first page
mhm, even travelled to another system just in case
what I see on 1st page
weird its not even showing me the research progress
check discoveries and see if you have the green icon lower left...
i do not. it says im offline. I'm definitely in a hub with others and I was online yesterday and didnt see it either
ill mess around to try to get back on
alright so I launched the game like 10 minutes ago and there wasnt an update
i relaunched and it updated ๐
i guess I have great timing?
it takes a while for the updates to hit the public branch sometimes
This is my new living ship. Dare I say, itโs much more elegant than my first one.
HAHA
I happened to launch the game right before the update hit 14 min ago
jesus
Just as a word of warning, your living ship if you own one has probably changed colors due to Update 2.31.
oh?
HMMMMMMMMMM.......... https://imgur.com/a/5Ikdg3s
There also may be a free ship waiting for you should you decide your current ship no longer meets your standards.
lmao they didnt fix it?
so much for me reporting that
what's the point of experimental then lol
wheres the free ship?
there's a glitch in 2.31 that restarts the mission from the last part
you can claim another living ship
without the need for nanites
they probably need to figure out whats causing it, or they're still trying to figure out how to fix it
but they decided to push it anyway
I guess because the critical bug fixes are more important than giving players another ship for free
oof coding sounds like absolute pain
You canยดt enjoy new content if itยดs unplaylable game-breaking buggy mess.
Especially when it bricks save.
yea
So bugfixes>free content updates in this case.
Unlike other games, which even in early-access stage sell you paid DLCs (looking at Ark survival evolved).
i love and hate ark, love it for the ideas it has, hate it for the execution
๐ฉ thing there is that instead of bug fixes they went selling DLC (ruins of Earth?) while it was in damn Early Access.
So they were selling paid DLCs for not even finished game.
Does the new mission start when you get the egg from the shop?
When you get egg from the shop, leave anomaly and go pulse driving. Next random encounter will start the quest.
Also watch out when trading, as you can accidentally sell the void egg.
I mean in trade terminals later.
Also, is there anything to get from the Derelict Freighter space encounter? Because I couldn't find anything special other than it just being there
nope
Unfortunetaly, nope. ๐ฆ
derelic freighters are null right now
and also, check pinned messages for how to start the egg missions
They went lazy there as they could at least add some messages from the freighter, like we see it on crashed ones on planets.
probably meant as a stop-gap so that you don't always encounter anything that can give you something
But still very lazy when compared with another stuff, which at least gives you some lore, when it does nothing.
Like Boundary failures.
idk I like it
Yep, but from NMS-level I expect more.
They make cool screenshot material
not everything needs a purpose
Especially after reading all the lore.
you should be able to salvage it for parts/resources
And are fun to fight pirates around in
Even if it was just a few goodies in containers on the ship, that would be nice
I got the starbirth quest again but I already have my living ship
says I need to locate the new lifeform
I would more like land on it, it would be challenging as you would have to be carefull not fall into space.
And you would have to either collect resources or fight some monsters.
Or just shoot it from space like other anomalies.
I had one floating anomaly as random encounter, I destroyed it, got some rotten item from it and that was all.
But it did something and brought some mystery at same time.
Ok. But living Freighters when? That would be so dang awesome.
@vocal lodge it just gives you a location for where you can get another one, you can go check it out, and if you've got 10k nanites, you can pick it up to add to your collection or swap with a ship
Ooh
Living freighters would be very interesting. And I can imagine how landing there would look like...
I also wonder what other space creatures are there in random encounters, as showed in screenshots from update post.
(Not only the living ships.)
@thorny basin it would be nice to get different sorts of eggs, since this one is labelled Void egg, then you could different kinds which generate differently, like ones that are sort of meant for pure attack, or storage etc, or give special abilities
Or even living frigates would be nice. I just love the idea of these massive space creatures.
This update is just conjuring up so many feels from my time in Metroid Prime 3
I don't think I ever saw that
hell yeah, got two live ships now
I still have two more days of missions before I can buy my egg
Dumb quicksilver mission limit.
Can't imagine what it would be used for
the rubble of the first spawn encounter is apparently similar to the derelict freighter, its fucking useless
It's cool though
with egg can you save before it hatches and reload to change its look?
I believe so
Has anyone done an extensive breakdown of all the different living ship designs yet?
Not yet but there's a lot to look through on the nms subreddit
There appears to be quite a variety, although the differences are subtle.
I'm thinking of using the reload trick to get a variety of shots (backing up each time).
these living ships are starting to grow on me...
just enjoying the movement when at rest. the animation is so cool
Same, the sounds when flying is also nice
i just wish we can get other variants later on, like we can get different variants like we have now, so we've got living storage ships, fighters, exotics etc
the one im currently in is rumbling my floor sitting at dock. my bass is on the floor lol
Hum can you encoutner living ship upgrade events while not piloting a living ship ?
aww :/ cause I like them and all but flying around in an un-upgraded ship is .. painful
it's pretty easy to encounter the eggs really
atleast you don't need to be in a specific system for em, you just need to fly around
OH GOD these Anomalies, I found a digital being floating in space, looked like it wasn't textured
Post image?
God, are some encounters rarer than others? So far all I've encountered are traders and derelict Freighters.
yeah, it also depends on the system type you're in
different star types will have different encounters
What star types have the derelict relics?
Do you get the biological equivalent of any starship blueprints when you get the living ship?
Is it normal to keep finding abandoned living ships on planets
I just got my second
It was just sitting there
Any idea which systems have which types of encounters?
I c-can keep it right?
yeah
Its awesome looking
I'm soft locked in the quest so.....
Seeing people collecting them....
Makes me realize I wasted 3200 QS
this can show you different encounters
although we still haven't figured out which specific systems give what
but the backgrounds of some of the pics can sort of tell you what to look for
.
Thanks a lot. Got tired of seeing derelict freighters
yeah you'll see a lot of them
Any images of relic gates? They sound really Interesting
And the article makes it seem like black holes now spawn this way too
i've got an image of it, but its on my PC
its basically like a gate hung between 4 asteroids
Does it have an animation?
What color star did it spawn in?
I was a BIG portal enthusiast before AR. Kinda wish they had more going on. This peaked my interest
i didn't record what system type it was when i encountered it, i only really started doing that afterwards
Okay, thanks. I've been roaming in white stars looking for black holes with a junk ship, so didnt check any other stars
you can just ask the gek guy in the anomaly for co-ords to black holes
Relic gate
AFAIK they're the same
still don't know why black holes were added together with the space encounters
Strange. So the black hole suns have pretty much no use now? Seeing how black hole generation us different now?
There are still the normal ones
no clue if the space encounter ones are different to the regular ones
So not useless
@icy citrus
Thanks for the image
yeah
Np
if you shoot them pirates will spawn
It took me a very long way also
Thats pog
From around 12k out from a core, to 700k out
Relic gates take you muuuuuucccch further than black holes will
and won't damage your ship
Wow. I wonder if they have any lore, like the portals
Cause they look like they were made by entities
the gate i took, sent me practically near the core all the way on the edge
lots of strange things in the space encounters seem to be made by ancient civilizations
Maybe the ships made them
There's literally first spawn rubble
which is useless just like the freighters
I hope there is some lore as to why these things are appearing all of a sudden. Things from the past have appeared to, like the first spawn rubble
It's cool flavor stuff
Like imagine someone absolutely new playing the game and BAM gigantic skull in front of them
I shouldn't have read the gameapedia page godammit
why?
I didn't know about all of the encounters yet
Oh...interesting 
always scares the fuck out of me when i encounter a new one
i don't know what to expect
Dont wanna be the first guy that shot the Dyson lens
does nothing if you're in creative
That..... might've been me
@gusty stream
F
And, one again, junk ships aren't the best for fighting a sentinel mothership
honestly its best to go around in creative to find out what most of these things do
with the ones where you can't really tell, then you can go normal gameplay to see if it does something like add wanted levels etc
I want to find out what the number station means
I have a feeling its filler. But I'm hoping for more, knowing hg
i don't know if its similar to the hyperspace nav station and it just gives random stuff or if its actually useful
Any example?
im on the 26 hour wait now for my ship, is there more waiting after? or just more quest stuff
Lemme check cyphers
is the shell building @languid yoke?
@languid yoke you can change the date on your device to skip the wait
Atleast on ps4
this is for the first part, the stem
i want to be able to finish tomorrow morning with my kids
theres quite a few wait times
2-3 are around 24 hours, then 1-2 are 26 hours
i can't remember exaclty how many parts there are you have to wait for
Ok so whoever I was talking to yesterday about the duping living ship bug.
It finally happened to me
Like you said this one doesnโt have the broken stuff
Finally got my ship, thank you to all those that helped me out ๐
ooh, an update today? Probably didnt fix my issue, but heres hoping
Hmm, the weekend mission hasnt been posted yet, has it?
Did anyone else end up getting a second living ship because of the patch?
what patch?
There was a small fix this morning on PC.
I assume on console as well. I didn't look closely on that side of things.
hm, I dont see anything in the notes about my particular issue, but still going to hope
What issue is that?
Experimental is PC only... It'll probably be coming to everyone later today, or maybe tomorrow.
(Also, Gogo. Awesome profile pic)
I've had the living ship show up while pulsing around... it said it resonated with my egg and said something about coordinates, but I never got the Starbirth mission in my log at all
And thanks! Gogo is awesome
Oh, and my egg is still a void egg - it isnt 'activated'
Pulse around some more, maybe?
It's happened twice now, but yeah, I am going to hope this patch fixed it, so I will try pulsing around some more later. I dont have much hope though
still says 'void egg' with the faint tapping
And there's nothing else in the text underneath that? Nothing about it wanting a certain type of planet?
nope, nothing like that
yeah. I am willing to bet I am going to have to wait for some other patches.
Yeah, PC for me
I can always give you an egg and you can get rid of that one, and see if that helps fix it?
haha, thanks, but I already tried getting another egg too
I am actually partway through the purge, so I may just do that
What can i do with a Gaseous Sentience encounter in space?
@mystic beacon answer your space ship's phone
If you aren't on experimental, try joining that... If you are already, it may get fixed eventually.
@cursive kernel doesn't work, maybe it bugged out because i was attacked...
so... are any of the exovehicles actually faster than just running? because they dont seem to be
Not really 
Possibly the bike, with upgrades?... But still kind of inconvenient compared to on foot.
that is so wierd.... seems a bit pointless. I was hoping to cruise around in a car to explore fast
I found that the mako (whatever the four-wheeled vehicle is, but my mind goes to Mass Effect) feels faster than on foot (well, punch & fly), or at least feels more fluid. But I find I give myself a boost on a hill and then jump, and it goes pretty fast.
But that could just be a placebo effect. ๐
I would assume the motorcycle one should be pretty fast, but alas, it seems just as slow as the others
The PIlgrim (the bike) is the fastest, but I don't think by much.
how long is the shell building wait?
24-27 hours
mine started at 25hrs... still have 20hrs left ๐
I've been to the abandoned building and I can't find the living ship in space @foggy jacinth
It also won't let me warp
you cant warp after going through a portal. you have to go back through
Wait is that what is needed in the living ship questline?
the quest tells you to "return to your reality"
I couldn't do it :< I couldn't kill artemis, so I left him in the simulation D:
I don't have the quest telling me to do that idk
I definitely let him go.
Yeah same
It seemed merciful to me.
Eh... to be able to explore, or not exist. I'd rather choose to explore, even if it was just a simulation.
Much like playing in NMS now... its all fabricated but I happily choose to explore :>
I wish I would have tossed the echo in there, maybe I could have used it on my ship
Plus you can still continue to talk with him through the sim lol
Collect Artemis soul
So he's never alone :>
Nomnomnom
Um yeah am I meant to have a living ship mission in my mission log after going to the abandoned building?
Cus I have no idea what I'm doing and the YouTube guide I'm watching isn't much help
Wait nvm it just happened I think
Living Ship missions get triggered if you have the Void Egg in inventory and start Pulse in space
@outer cobalt dw I'm past that point. Just took a while for the quest to actually trigger
okiedokie, have fun
I finally finished the story, and wow. I actually think it was a pretty genius concept. Better than I've seen that kind of thing done in the past, that's for sure.
I really enjoy the story, the pacing is a bit rough as we can get sidetracked so easily, but very nice imo
I hope they change the stats of the living ship so its unique, preferably combat orientated
Ok is this the place for ship questions? What do I do with messenger of atlas? After accepting message nothing! There must be something!
@brave path Not that I've found so far.
You can get them randomly jumping if you have a ship not just through as?
Qs?
You know this really is a perfect update
@mighty rampart Yes. @brave path The void eggs Sohail is talking about are floating in space, that you shoot to get upgrades for the new ships. They're not seeds for a 2nd living ship.
Oh! I thought the messenger had an upgrade for me. Awesome! Thanks!
I want to write these peeps a love letter or something
How do we start the process of hatching a new void egg after the quest line is through?
nope, patch for sure didnt fix my issue... met the living ship again and still no mission
Dang. T_T
Hmmm
So just went to play and my game just bugged out and gave me the last step of starbirth, in turn giving me a second living ship. I'm starting to think this update should still be in experimental lol
I cannot for the life of me find the first grave marker
When I did it last night (before I had to start from a manual save), I could see the markers in visor view, but not now
Yeah, but I'm right where the coordinates say it should be but I don't see it
Look at the coords and try to be right on top of it
granted, the coordinates are constantly shifting, but i'm within range
@steep violet Had the exact same thing. Sadly, the new one wasn't as nice as my other one. I kept both though. XD
@regal zinc my new on looks cooler, but has lower stats lol
Awww. T_T
Also get out of your ship and walk around at that point cause itโs gonna be close
My new one had lower stats as well. So I mean, can't complain. ๐
Finally found it....but the icon never showed up
goddamnit all I want is one space egg
to test a thing
but screw my luck I guess
Just wait at a nexus ๐ค
Has anyone gone back to the first planet coord with the new ship?
different egg
@mighty rampart you talking about the encounter?
it should be fairly easy to find one
Sweet and my second ship doesn't eat me!
try a different system
ikr?? but lady luck hates me
LOL dammit, on this save, the next plaque is on an ocean world, and there's nothing but tiny islands. Took me a while to find the damn thing.
Huh. My first ship, it was a watery planet, but hte plaque was on a fairly large land mass.
i don't know how the system works for the space encounters, but there does seem to be a system for them, depending on the star type you go to, sometimes i've gotten encounters like every 5 minutes, other times its always been freighters etc
i got an encounter that reused the abyssal horror eyestalk model and i didnโt know what to do so i shot it and it said DON'T DO THAT and i bailed
I was hoping the eggs wont count for this
Maybe a system with more redacted planets and the like will result in stranger things in space ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
other encounters I know are system dependent
so maybe it determines exactly what/how many times you'll get an encounter as soon as you enter the system or something
yeah most encounters depend on the star type
but i get the feeling something else is involved to determine exactly how many or what type appear, rather than it solely being a spin of the wheel when ever you get into pulse mode, unless the wheel has different percentages for things, with Freighter being more common and the rest being split evenly into small percentages
i missed my void egg transmission. will i get another one?
you mean from the mothership?
do you still have the egg in your inventory?
yes
then you should be able to go out and pulse and get the transmission again
Egg mission (living ship) error.
When I go through the portal, the system teleports to the wrong place.
This is already after the 21/02/2020 update.
i reloaded the backup, reinstalled the game but unfortunately the bug is up.
pulse or warp?
@uncut harness are you putting in the correct code?
It may take a while, but most likely yes. I fled once to cancel it, then after some time it started again, because I had another egg left in inventory
the only way you'll be getting the wrong place is if you put in the wrong code from the egg
you sure? because otherwise you should be ending up on the correct planet
I assume you are in Euclid?
there are only 1 planet
then I read on the forum after completing the quests
I have been pulsing for a bit but I haven't been able,to get anything for the matured brain stem yet. :/
if I'm teleporting from another galaxy you can't go?
@uncut harness You need to be in Euclid
ahha
so you're in the wrong galaxy?
If you're not, and can't get back, go to the Anomaly and visit some other folk's bases there. Most of those will be in Euclid.
Yeah. I think itsrokwn
kiprรณbรกlom. kรถszรถnรถm.
any new datamining?
I try. Thanks.
beyond the ship trails and bobbleheads? don't think so
Hey, I'm having an issue in the second locations with the void egg, when i fly around the planet to get the coordinates right, it crashes the game. Probably 4 times now. Anyone else having this?
are you sure it has to do with the game and not your machine?
Its my console, hasn't crashed before.
is it really hot when it crashes?
I'm entering and exiting the planet to allow for quicker flying to the coordinates.
Has anyone determined if you can get space void eggs / LIving ship upgrades if you're not flying a living ship?
2nd marker showed up fine on visor
@foggy jacinth as far as we know you can only encounter space void eggs while in a living ship
@soft scroll ok, thx
@uncut harness if it only happens when you're constantly exiting/entering, then its probably your console crashing
my game sometimes crashes if i tab in and out too quickly
Yeah, it might not like the transition between in and outer atmosphere?
There is a lot going on and I'm flying pretty erratically.
This is on Base Xbox One, so could be just an issue with that.
so what are people doing to get the best upgrades for the ship? also is there a way to get a scanner for the living ship?
Going in and out of atmosphere is performance heavy, as it prepares loading in out different scenes
constantly going in and out means it has to bring up the ground everytime you get back into atmosphere, and so might not have gotten rid of the ground after you left, and doing that constantly would cause the game to crash, or even your console
@half linden just shooting void eggs as you encounter them. No other way that I know. Mine have scanners, I think.
Upgrades for 6 technologies are available
living ship scanner upgrade?
whatever you get out of a space egg is random really, so all you can do is pulse in and out to try and get as many eggs as possible
I don't believe so, I could be mistaken
Just the 6 you start with, all have upgrades
the exact tech we can get for our ships is still unknown since it's so early in the update, we're still trying to determine what space encounters we can get and what they give and where you can find them, so getting info about the living ships themselves is going to be awhile
Anyone manage to find like a warp drive upgrade or any of those sought after upgrades?
Turning this thing into the next Bugatti space whale is no small feat.
The ones I know of currently are Pulse, Launch, Hyperdrive, Shield, Gun and Laser
I've only gotten the laser so far.
Seems like getting this baby geared is going to be a marathon. ๐
Mhmm
Which is nice cause at the end of it this thing really will feel quite personal
especially if you have multiple
Right lol i think i can only handle one atm though i do have the open space for more ships so ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
i've got 4 currently
but i plan on finding more good looking ones
either i'll have 6 living ships, or i'll replace my current 4
@outer cobalt Do you know if anyone is collating the encounters vs star type etc?
@foggy jacinth you mean determining which encounter spawns in which star type?
Ya Iโve got 1 exotic 1 squid 3 og fighters and the organic
@soft scroll yes
"This section is under development. "
@foggy jacinth I do not know of anyone, but I am sure someone is or will do so
Where is brown grass man
3rd grave icon not showing up...
@cursive kernel HEY
"Derelict Freighter- everything - unknown.
"
Encounters vs system is interesting, but possibly Living Ship too?
the only thing affected by living ship as far as we know is the space void egg
Well you have to be in the living ship to get the encounter
Living ship looks nice, but I am busy with Atlas path and finishing Euclid Galaxy.
the rest can be triggered by anyone
For the egg that is
Yep, Living Ship encounter begins the quest.
How do you find the void eggs humming coordinates that keep changing?
@safe ginkgo The coordinates change every few seconds. Kinda take an average, or look around. It'll appear as an unknown building on your visor, but you're looking for an Ancient Plaque, the ones that look like monoliths, but are a bit smaller and don't have the 3 knowledge stones. It might take some running around, or exploring a bit in an exocraft.
console in your ship displays co-ords while in atmosphere
get as close as you can, then hop out your ship
Oh ok thanks @foggy jacinth
then use visor to get even closer and keep an eye out for ancient plaques
has anyone gotten an econemy scanner upgrade for the living ships?
Oh thatโs right how is all that gonna work.
Gonna need to grind these egg encounters.
If you manage to encounter them.
i have been pulsing for like 5 minutes and no mothership thing has appeared yet, i have egg in inventory , is there something i am missing ?
@half sphinx Did you buy your egg, or were you given it?
@foggy jacinth bought
ok, you're good. Some that are gifted don't work.
thats weird
ah ok , so i just keep pulsing till i am lucky ?
pretty much yeah
What's the best way to upgrade the living ships?
pulse while flying in a living ship, eventually you'll encounter a large void egg in space
shoot it, and a living ship part will drop
I know, but it's taking ages to find even one
try different systems
its all random based
for both getting an egg and getting a good part
theres no other way to get upgrades for it as far as we know
Somehow ended up with an LS that has no broken components and has a lot of storage slots.
how many slots?
37 total (both chambers)
That's low
More damage stats than my hauler but overall a downgrade in terms of hyperdrive
its more slots than the first LS I got last night before I had to re-load and do the last portion of the mission again
I thought they were all 22/21
They vary
The one last night had what seemed like a half dozen or more broken components
Either way, I'm glad the whole thing is over lol

The broken components was like a bug
ya
Basically the crash site acted like a regular crash site while it shouldn't have
I believe that has been fixed now
if you want to see a bunch of the different types of living ship styles go check out nmseeds.club
people on YT been saying pulse for 20 seconds lmao i have for 10 minutes in 3 systems lol still nothing
I have it rarely too.
I've been farming the void eggs in space for upgrades and I've only gotten S, A, B grade for weapons only. Shields, pulse drive, launcher and hyperdrive I've only gotten C grade
Maybe it depends on how far we are from space objects, time how long we are pulse driving and RNG.
generally you should be pulsing from one planet to the furthest planet away, usually taking like 30sec-1min
exactly what i have been doing
I did and still didnยดt have luck encountering anything.
3 systems , still nothing :(8
Or if had, very rarely.
you'll usually get an encounter then, sometimes you might get one directly after an encounter, but its all random
Procedually generated.
oh well , in time then i suppose
I had the chance to encounter one after saving in my capitol ship. So I've been reloading the auto save ๐ฌ
I've been farming the void eggs in space for upgrades and I've only gotten S, A, B grade for weapons only. Shields, pulse drive, launcher and hyperdrive I've only gotten C grade
^
Nice.
We can also pulse drive infinitely just in deep space instead of pulsing to any planet.
Though I remember seeing in old videos (where players were trying to pulse drive to star or to other star system) that if we pulse drive too far from the planets, the game gets bugged.
yeah but i haven't gotten a lot of encounters going into deep space, i've almost always gotten them around the planets
occasionally one would show up just as i'd turn around to go the other direction
Maybe when the system is generated, the game generates randomly positions and if we are near them while pulse driving, it triggers the random encounter there? ๐ค
i get most of mine flying out to deeps space for like 2 min then turn around andi get them on the way back to the planets
Well after reloading the save if I go to any direction I get the same void egg encounter
Asteroids
So direction doesn't matter
nah i don't think specific spots matter, i think it might have a randomly generated wheel that determines if you get an encounter or not
putting specific spots on is kind of stupid since we'll be flying around all the time really and could miss the spots
having it based on how long we've been pulsing for/having randomyl generated while pulsing would avoid that issue
Community Event: Stuff you need: ||250 Pugneum|| Glyphs:
Did they fix the ship bugs yet?
Yeah I think is how long you been pulsing
Is 10 minutes pulsing in straight line not long enough hehe :)
Maybe try going to another system
try relogging, that might help
4 systems , 10 minute pulse each and no luck, ok relog may help who knows:)
Are you trying to get another ship?
got it finally?
no that is what i am trying to get to trigger ๐
i found out that the stacking mod i was using was breaking the quest
How did you get your egg?
do you have all the drives? i think you need to have them all to get it done but i dont know for sure
i bought my egg , not given so no worries there, i don't use mods so no worry there
i have all drives so no worry there
not sure just poor luck i suppose
Try using a black hole
i guess it really is random and i have bad luck lol
Mine got stuck aswell & using a black hole made it unstuck
I'll try black hole as last resort :)
You can always teleport back from a space station
Of course :)
My bug was seeing the Fallen Host (for more ships) icon but nothing was there, but going through a black hole fixes it
Ok I'll go through a black hole and see if your theory/idea works :)
Exactly :)
but I do hope it works out for you
I hope it triggers the questline too
If not, another last resort, discard the egg, get a new one
Noooooo
I can give you one of my spares, no problems there
As a complete last resort, I can always give you another one
gone through black hole , now pulsing to furthest planet and passing other planets on the way , nothing yet
@half sphinx So, you have the egg, but Starbirth isn't triggering for you? Youve been to the abandoned building and got the message there?
Try warping to a system closeby
@lusty hare i have done every thing , i am now at the stage of pulsing to trigger the starbirth mission , but nothing for 40 minutes so far in 4 systems , 10 minute pulse each
i have done that 3 times @glad tartan
I've been trying to understand the system, and I have found out that warping to a different system & then pulse pops my thingy quickly, also types of planets change visuals on your ship
i just got a free living ship. i logged in and there was a quest marker leading me to a crashed host. anyone else get this?
Don't pulse for 10 mins, I do 40 seconds max each
it can happen
its a bug
generally you're only supposed to get a LS from using the egg
@half sphinx Sorry it is happening to you, but I am kind of glad that it isnt just me... please let me know if you manage to fix it
@glad tartan ik and exactly so it is not triggering for me , bug or bad luck
Wait, is your egg singing already?
Iirc, you need to warp several times to get the egg to sing
listen up
@half sphinx nope. I did get the living ship to show up while I was pulsing, but it didnt actually start the mission
i have bought my egg , did the singing crap , went through portal address and went to abandoned building and listen to the final words , now i am at the starbirth trigger part and it is not triggering
does the egg have anything in its description?
yeah i am pulsing to try trigger the beginning of the birth of my egg
hello
Egg mission (living ship) error.
When I go through the portal, the system teleports to the wrong place.
This is already after the 21/02/2020 update.
i reloaded the backup, reinstalled the game but unfortunately the bug is up.
since then I went to EUCLID Galaxys and tried it from there. I found the erpetrith raya. I waited, I flew, I went everywhere and nothing. could this be a mistake? fault?
thanks for the reply.
There's 2 different void egg quest, the old one, and the new one
but honestly, I was quite sleep deprived & high while I did my thing so I really don't remember much, sorry
egg mission is euclid only
@glad tartan i have the new egg and quest that went with it , the glyphs etc
done it all
Yes. I'm in that galaxy
So you matured all pieces already?
yes
Was talking to @half sphinx ๐
So your issue is that the portal adress you got is wrong?
Tell me about it LOL
@uncut harness go to euclid then find a portal and type the glyph address to the next stage of the egg
@uncut harness If you hover over your egg, does it say a bunch of things with EUCLID EUCLID EUCLID at the end?
you then find the abandoned building to finish that part and then come back through the portal
@soft scroll my egg
wha
@glad tartan matured , i only have the egg lol
what does the quest say for it?
there is no fecking quest , i am waiting to trigger starbirth quest , which is the egg for the egg to become a ship ? ๐
@uncut harness You are on the wrong world buddy
but you shouldn't have been able to go through the portal and the abandoned building without the quest
You need to find a SPECIFIC planet in the system your egg tells you to go to
Just go to every planet untill it gives you coordinates
If you used those glyphs for the last part, it is the wrong address
@soft scroll i think you are all getting confused on my situation
Prof hulk is legit at the start
''i have bought my egg , did the singing crap , went through portal address and went to abandoned building and listen to the final words , now i am at the starbirth trigger part and it is not triggering''
But your egg isn't singing yet, otherwise it'd be a crackling void egg, no?
@icy citrus help me lol
@uncut harness use those
Hahaha, Hulk, I am in the exact same boat
It gave me coordinates for this planet but I have absolutely no idea where to go from there
Singular Gleam is this a good title?
so it is just a matter of luck and randomness for this StarBirth questline to trigger which is the questline to birth the egg to a living ship
you can't have gone through the portal or gone to the abandoned building if you weren't on the quest already, unless you were involved in the experimental branch and did the egg quest that was there
He did the melody of the egg
After getting my LS, I went on the community mission and died, but the game crashed. Upon restarting, I was back to a manual save location that I did during the LS mission, but i still already had my LS. Then I got told to go imprint upon another...so now I have two
The first part we found
@soft scroll you do not understand but thank you for trying to help
Now, he is trying to get the egg to activate
@pliant root thats a known bug
For Starbirth to trigger, I doubt it should take that long @half sphinx
as @icy citrus is saying ๐
Nope, something is up
I just sent feedback to HG about a particular issue I noticed which is hugely gamebreaking
Shoulda triggered first time you pulsed
thanx ๐
i have been to 4 systems and pulsed for 10 minutes each , nothing worked
and like Gleam said it should have been instant nearly
someone remind me what hte living ship quest is called?
even all YT videos show that
they need to add an option to abandon the quest for starbirth
StarBirth
@half sphinx have you done the old egg quest on your save before, or is this a fresh one thats never touched the experimental branch?
@half sphinx thx
@foggy jacinth
@soft scroll i have never been on experimental ,. and this is the new egg
Did that work for you @uncut harness ?
I'm feeling super lucky lol, usually I have these issues, but I have like 5 living ships now. I just got my egg, warped from system to system like 8 times, got my egg singing & just followed the quest.
thx ๐
Sweet
Ngl , I probably did
I try. Thanks
i will close game , verify files (who knows) and relog and try again
otherwise i am very unlucky
That's why I'm trying to help people out cause I'm feeling guilty haha
Copy your savefile & change the name the another number & try loading up that one
I even bought another egg to retry from the start
Dupe savefile would be a better term I guess
anyone on the latest experimental with a living ship that has a procedural tech upgrade installed?
and isnt S class
Yes but I'm not on Experimental or do I have any tech installed.
5 ships but no upgrades , so can't help you rofl
awww yiss, portals are fixed on experimental. no more getting stuck inside ๐
Lmao, thanks hex
just tested and confirmed
Needed that
๐
also i like how HG just kinda slid right past pc players skipping the timegates and was like thanks to everyone who tested....
i mean technically yes, so the best sort of yes
All data is valuable.
hahaha
Can i have 2 living ships on console now after this update?
You should be fine getting a 2nd
I've not been gifted the solar ray ... anyone else run into that issue ??
You could before, there just was an occasional bug - avoidable one also
I had to reload my save to get the one to harvest wildlife
verified files ,restarted game , still no trigger and freighter spawned right inside my ship or me inside there ship and i got thrown across the system , but still no trigger lol
So what to not do?
are weekend missions still a thing? isnt it around the time those would happen?
When you claim it, hop in - if you die reload, and don't call in freighter before reloading
Yeah, it's alread up @cloud epoch
Sweet thanks
Also, did someone say that experimental is allowing you to install upgrades in LSs?
oh yeah i just scrolled up and saw the spoiler post thanks @foggy jacinth
Upgrade modules in them with nanites
Ah ok
Dunno for how much or how high you can go - guessing S, but no one has reported back
Cool deal.
I like my first LS better than the spare I have...I'd rather upgrade that one
......... .... I've done many saves etc... so anyone know how to get the solar ray gifted to them ?
...... checking ... for the blueprint .. no I don't think I got one :|....
Goes on the multitool
ok just warped to 6 different systems , all different colours , some further away , some close by , pulsed for 30 seconds each and nothing , so i will assume its a bug and come try again in a day or so ๐ฆ
Got it then?
I pulsed until I ran out of fuel 6 or 7 times before I saw the living ship come message me.... but then I still didnt get the mission
@icy citrus - yeah ... you know it's one of the blueprints that I rarely look at since all my slots are filled up on my S class tool ๐
...... Blaze Javlin it replaced lol, I real use that item
So i booted up the game game and had the starbirth quest again and it pointed me to a living ship right near my base
Do you really have to wait 20 hours for this thing to mature?
Handy
And i could take it without needing to pay nanites
Nah, you have to wait 20+ 4 times for it to mature
Dang
Or change clock
Does changing clock work?
Yes I am
@glad tartan could i join you for that egg ?
Ofcourse
steam name is discord name ๐
Let me boot it up
Thank you
I need someone to help me with something so im on the last few steps on my alien ship mission and i need someone to put these glyphs in and i can join them since I donโt have all the glyphs i play on ps4 my psn is XAVIERR_1 dm me if ur down to help
so im on the egg mission i go to the planet type it asks me for.. i find the cordinates on the planet but now water everywhere and no abandoned buildings what to do? xD
under water?
Oh shit lol
well it states that i should use the analysing visor to find buildings
Spam the land button until your ship accidentally lands?
well theres small islands around but no building
That won't work @dense umbra
i'll show u
Only the person that enters the glyphs can use the portal
1 sec
And you can't join someone on the other side if they use it
Sec I'm struggling to find you @half sphinx
Like this
@icy citrus if im ur friend i will be able to join ur game
do i have to restort to resetting the mission somehow
yes Xaviierr you would
Yes of course - but if they go through a portal you won't be on the same side ๐
Need to get the glyphs I'm afraid - or try and find someone with a base there you could join
Ok
Interesting. The egg quest can stat even if your egg is in your freighter inventory. I was trying to avoid starting it. ๐
why avoid starting it
Because I"m going the weekend event.
should i like buy a chart from the Space stations for securte facilities nearby
how do i find the egg planet
@steel dove how close are you to the co-ords from where you are in the pic?
guess there's no answer to that
@uncut harness Does your egg say someting about colors?
ye
And this is your first planet? it's looking for a Mega-exotic, so something wiht a biome like Chromatic Fog, or Ultramarine, or [redacted]
@soft scroll well it states +10.??? amd -16.??? and im at -16.370 and +10.306 so im fairly close to it
and thats accurate from left to right for both?
Not if you are doing them in reverse order
@uncut harness No planets in that system have an odd biome?
cause otherwise you're on the opposite side
How do you mean opposite side? princess?
What does the freezing planet say for the description
the co-ords should be +whatever and -whatever to match what the egg asks for
frost crystal, emeril, and stuff like that
you've got -whatever and +whatever
Same for the sub zero?
@uncut harness ok. Can you type out what hte egg wants, or share a screenshot?
powerful anomalies and strange colours?
@uncut harness share a screen shot of what the eggs asks for, and what the biome is for each planet in the system
Yeah, that's a mega-exotic. I think Gleam is probably better to solve this one.
ok biome for first planet
freezing planet
the second
sub zero planet
the third planet
scalding planet
and the fourth
high temperature planet
another question, @uncut harness have you applied today's patch, 2.31?
@uncut harness What type of planet does the egg in your inventory tell you it wants?
Have you warped, and do you have a destination in the map?
best you can do is just go to each planet indidividually and see if the quest changes once you're in atmosphere
, if it doesn't then you can move to the next etc
Yeah once you're in the atmosphere of the planet your HUD will update with "Suitable planet, coordinates +56.?? // -42.??
And as you get closer to the coordinates they update the ?? portions to finish out the exact coordinates.
how do I get a new marker to pop up? I closed my game yesterday after a crash and today there's no marker on the planet I was previously exploring
For the first part of Starbirth where I'm supposed to go to a marked system/planet
wait so youguys have the Living Ship storage expansion things in the test version?
@misty citrus I would check the Galaxy Map and see if the system is still marked or leads elsewhere
It isn't still marked
can't see the marker anywhere in the vicinity of my system either
With the quest active in Log, and Current Mission selected as filter, does a green line lead you to a new system?
@misty citrus Are you in sapce or on a planet? Scan, either way. Maybe that'll pop it up
I uhhhhhhhh was towards a planet I was trying to scan then I was told to slow down and a destroyed freighter appeared what so I do
@outer cobalt my quest is active but there's no Current Mission option available in Galaxy Map @foggy jacinth I tried just now, no luck ๐ฆ
as far as i can tell, they do nothing rn
@tulip elbow Those don't have any use that anyone has found, except they're cool to explore. Maybe they'll have a use in a future update?
Hmmm, no current mission doesn't sound good
how many pieces does it take to find coords and wait 24 hours for?
im, on the heart right now
Nah those direlect freighters seem to be a place for bounty or pirates to pop up at least thats what happened to me both times I found it and looked around
So icon doesn't show, no current mission available, maybe pulse again and see if that starts things?
i looked inside some abadoned freighters, you can shoot down the doors to the treasure vaults ( like the ones in crashed freighters on planets), but you can't access the storage cahce or anything
for the egg quest, you'll have 3 main pieces that will be around 24 hour each, and 2 final pieces that are 26 hours each
Derelict freighters are effectively useless right now
so im on the .000 of where the egg wants me to be on the planet
damn i don't want to do the timegate alteration cause im afraid of ruining the steam cloud sync
tier 3 done on pc
gonna be bummed if I wasted 3300 quicksilver for this egg
@steel dove look for a monolith nearby, or unknown building\
like a plaque not monolith, sorry
@steel dove you're on the opposite side of the planet
@vestal ledge why not make a backup of your save as you go in case you hit problems?
you're left side needs to be +10 and your right needs to be -16 @steel dove
i've never done any tampering ever
can be anywhere between 10.00/10.99 and -16/-16.99
still on the one save from the very start when NMS launched
Find the save in %appdata% copy paste
@soft scroll ok now i get it ๐ thanks
I just copy then entire NMS folder to a new folder on my extra drive. Its that simple lol
hmm
Manual saving every so often when you're in a definitely good state is always a good idea too.
Also you can use the steam "play offline" feature so you dont have to turn the net off. Its under the steam dropdown
@steel dove When approaching the destination, the coordinates will update, it can take several time to find the exact coords' good luck ๐
would getting another void egg reset teh quest or am I just screwed
@misty citrus Did you delete your previous one ?
I didn't know that was a thing
With the quest started, it uses the egg you currently have and should continue where you left off
@uncut harness I KNOW
NOT TO BE RUDE BUT THAT'S LIKE THE FIFTH PING FOR THAT SPECIFIC PATCH NOTE
Yeah I've been system hopping in an attempt to 'find a new marked system' but I lost all my ship gear so I'm running low on warps
Have you tried restarting the game?
yep
Running out of ideas, sorry, make sure to report it to Zendesk, while hopefully getting back on track. Any save game you can reload prior to the current one?
!hg
my manual save is like a year old lmao
Yikes
f
Eyy I have the exact same problem no marker and I deleted my egg and bought another one
this is my fault for getting pissed and quitting last night lol. I had to fly low on the planet to be able to see the coordinates on my ship without the 'glare' from the sun but it was literally lined with trees so I kept hitting them
@true spear Did that work for you?
did you delete the quest before deleting the egg
Is the weekend event to kill sentinel walkers
dude this fuckin quest i swear....
Predictions for the next update?
More Eggs
@true spear Someone suggested it to me earlier but I don't know how
well 3rd waiting period started
oh you can't abandon it, or at least I can't. maybe since you're on a new egg you can abandon it?
Living exosuits
It is alive already
ok this is very weird
Ja?
