yeah I pulse jumped for 2.5 mins, no encounters at all
can anyone on PC experimental confirm?
@mighty rampart just get out of pulse change directions and go back in and just repeat that and u should get more encounters
@strange shuttle are u on PC experimental?
alright
They definitely upped the number of storage augments you get from frigate missions.
Yeah, I did too.
I've gotten encounters today and I'm on PC experimental
my first location is causing me quite a bit of trouble, its around opposite from portal
How many are you getting @foggy jacinth
@icy citrus encounters? Only traders so far today, but i haven't pulsed that much
I'm sorry - storage augments
Oh, augmets. At least 2 per day
Nice!
@mighty rampart pretty sure yer just unlucky, I've been getting encounters on PC/experimental today
today? ok then
yep
I noticed I stopped getting any since the update yesterday
are you staying in only one system or changing systems?
ok, i think my bioship looks like some dragon on is head
tried 4 so far
then yeah probably just bad luck
damn because I was still getting some encounter, like npc traders etc
2.5 mins of uninterrupted pulse jumping in each system
if I don't get something in the first couple long pulses, I change systems, I don't spend alot of time in one system
I usually just go between the planets
I went from one end of the system to another lol
nice
never tried that
Neat
How many times do i need to follow/find coords in this quest?
I haven't seen one I didn't like so far
@mighty rampart living scimitar
hahaha
So question- how do I upgrade? Or at get better storage slots on a living ship? Is that even possible?
you cant add slots
but you can find large void eggs in space, as a space encounter
if there is a way to add slots it hasn't been found yet
Pulse around in space
e.e So I need to get another void egg and hope it comes with max slots?
No
there's an update coming really soon that will let you "evolve" it to S class
all living ships have the same slots, 21/22
They are s class
Where do i get pungeum
Kill Sentinels
yeah if yer on experimental you can evolve the upgrades using nanites
Swear I saw some one's video where it has max slots. Guess that was on experimental.
Or edited
that was probably someone who used save editor
I won't be surprised if it happens, but it hasn't yet
yeah they'll probably give you a unique expensive way to add slots
I hope it is eating other ships
oh my god
probably after they add more weapon types 👀
I'm kinda hoping that if you use the ship enough it will naturally grow
nah it should be by giving it anomalous tarts
just chomping other ships
it is a living being after all
@mighty rampart so all the craft + waiting parts are coord based?
yes, the later ones too
of course if you haven't already done it, make sure to move all the tech to the organ chamber so you aren't wasting storage sacs
@glacial sphinx You can buy pugneum at some space stations
How do you get started on the living ship quest?
Cool, thanks!
@real sapphire how would you feel if I said Living Ships were just the final form of Dave?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
LMFAO
Dave is this how you come back to us?
i will give it a role of BLOB KILLER!

@molten cargo It's looking for a mega-exotic planet, with a strange biome, like Doomed Jade, Frozen Anomaly, [redacted] or Ultramarine.
@foggy jacinth Thank you! I spent a few days getting my hyperdrive to indium. Is there a specific color star I should jump to? Or do I just go and pray?
wait do i have to go to the euclid galaxy to do the portal thing for the living ship
hey, does anyone know if the color of the star system affects spawn rates for the new anomalies?
@molten cargo The mother ship should have given you a system to go to. Check your galactic map, it'll be a green icon, I think.
@uncut harness That info is being collated, but we don't think so.
@foggy jacinth That's the thing! I'm not seeing the icon anywhere. So I'm just trying to find it on my own
There is a bug where the icon doesn't show up.
Gotcha. I'll just jump around until I find one of those exotic planets then.
@molten cargo Or wait for the next patch, which will hopefully fix it. The only way to see if you have the correct planet is to fly into atmo, and see if you get a message about looking for coordinates in your lower right hand screen spot.
ow nobody answerd
@foggy jacinth I'm determinded to find it >=D Apparently red systems can spawn one of those. So Red stars, here I come, thank you for the replies. This community has been pretty endearing so far.
@blazing hemlock I have no idea XD as I'm just starting it myself and my knowledge on the game is next to nil
Any system can have a mega-exotic, but they are more common in Red systems.
hm
@blazing hemlock Yes, you have to be in Euclid for the Portal part. Sorry, I ddin't see you question
abselute pain but its fine thanks for the big brain
Im sort of stuck on the finding the fallen traveler part, the coordinates keep changing and i think im blind cuz i cant find the little grave at all. Any tip on how i could narrow it down better?
@deft falcon The coordinates change every few seconds. Kinda take an average, and get close. Land. 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. There is also a video in the pinned messages that explains how the coordinates work. Or, use your photo mode to look around.
So even the graves will appear as unknown building good
@foggy jacinth Found a [REDACTED] Planet on my third jump. Time to see if the quest updates
Do i need scan upgrades on at all?
no, but they do increase your scan range, so they help.
@deft falcon If you're new enough to not have scan upgrades, do you have your glyphs? The living ship quest can't be finished without glyphs.
RIP, no update. Next star it is.
I am going to use a shitton of gold looking for upgrades....
I worked around the glyph thingy with a friend that has the glyphs and the nrw anomaly warp to friend feature
That's new enough I that I don't know if that will work for STarbirth.
Well it got me to the planet without using the portal
Clever
hmm i can use any ships for encounter with eggs in space?
We think it only works if you're flying a living ship

you need to be pulsing on the living ship as far as we know
alright
prepare to use a lot of gold and silver for the upgrades
i have a gold and silver mind around
so i can say it should be sustainable 🙂
mine*
yeah but warping back's always a fuss to deal with, pack up at least one full stack of gold
alright, thanks
@foggy jacinth right i got 2 questions
1: should i turn my internet off now then do todays QS mission then do the time skips for the egg mission or keep it on untill i got the egg?
2: Should i keep NMS running when i set the clock foward or close it?
found the first void egg
I'd keep your time set normally, and your internet on, 'til you get the egg. Then I"d close NMS, turn off your internet, and set your clock back a week or so. Keep the internet off until the Egg is done. Then close NMS again, and reset your clock/turn on the internet.
right
so
lemme get this in a list
1: get egg
2: close NMS and turn off internet and set clock back a week
3: wait untill egg is done (how long is that?)
4: turn clock back and turn internet back on
5: boom living ship?
does anyone have a list of glyph names?
In the pins
@silk bramble Check the pins of this channel.
thx
i searched the chat but not pins 😛 thx anyway
You will be saving and exiting to move time ahead for the timegates that occur
@brave crow Almost.
3. Wait 'til egg is done, which will give you the living ship. There are 4-5 time gates, all about a day long.
4. 4: turn clock back and turn internet back on
5. You're done.
On my PS4, just turning the internet back on, and setting the clock back to auto was enough.
Yeah, turning off the internet/setting back the clock is specifically to skip the gates. Get a gate, set your time forward a day, get to the next gate, set your clock forward again.
ahh so
set back a week, then set back a day every gate untill done
this is mega confusing lol
Or, just leave your clock/internet on, and do the missions as they are allowed. This is only if you don't want to wait between each step.
doesnt that mean waiting 5 days?
Yeah.
hmm... i try to summarize via linking each step
Turn off internet > Proceed to the story > gather and craft required items > set your time forward > complete > proceed to next step > gather and craft required items > set your time forward > complete > etc....
(i think i made it more confusing..)
not rlly
ima go look over all of this again and figure it all out
but first, time to take out some hazardous floura
for daily QS mission? 🙂
mhm
Lots of creatures inside? should I open it? YES!
those usually drop some random trade good that says it's a bio horror of some sort. I keep them in ship inventory to keep my ship company while I'm away
heheh yeah it did too
@weak pawn Buy a void egg. Void eggs can be purchased from the Quicksilver Shop on the Anomaly for 3200 QS.
Keep the egg in your inventory, and go out to space. Start pulse jumping in any direction. Jump for a solid minute or two, until you get a scanning sound and notice a message saying "anomaly detected, exit pulse to examine" and your starship communicator will light up.
no encounter after a few minutes
I got mine! How generic is it?
all living ships are generic
we don't have as many diversity with overall shape of the ship
Fair point lmao
which is why Sean's recent statement that "everything in the game is procedural" was a bit disingenuous
the newer stuff certainly isn't as procedural as the older stuff
I'm sure the living ships are procedual, tied to the seed of the system or something
but the fact that we don't get to choose where we find it kinda makes it meaningless
"procedural selected from a small bin of parts"
See
What I'm doing
Is setting up a portal right next to the portal where you come out
And teleporting each time to a different system to see what the ship is like there
7 billion IQ
Hum, are teh broken frighters encounters useful for anything except screenshots ?
Not that we've found, @uncut hound Hopefully in an update.
:/
I would love to see a new feature in the future where you can set a "fuck off" signal toggle on your ship to prevent random trader encounters
how do i start the mission?
@brave crow pulse
also should i close NMS now and turn my internet off?
you do it when you see the timer
so not now?
i aint started it yet i just saved in the anomoly
well auto saved
so now ive auto saved, should i close NMS and turn my internet off and set it a week back?
then start it?
I'd set your clock back now, @brave crow
ight ill go close NMS and turn my internet off
is auto saving ok? (getting in and out my ship)
or should i manyal
*manual
Autosaving is fine, I think. I certainly did it.
ight
@uncut harness yours is the first I've seen with a horn
Also, create a backup of your save first, just in case.
To create a back up of your save, quit NMS. Go to Settings / Application Saved Data management and choose a USB drive or the cloud.
backup once a while is good, but offline itself doesn't break anything
it does mess with the plant growth timers a bit, but you can replant those
oh ok
right
turn my internet off
then set back the clock a week
do i untick the "connect to the internet" button?
@ivory crown plant growth and mines, but it's always good to have a backup, that isn't in-game. In fact, I have this saved to post every once in a while:
♦️ ♦️ PERIODIC REMINDER: Save your game files somewhere off your gaming rig! To the cloud, to a USB stick etc. (Note: XB1 doens't allow USB saves. 😦 ) ♦️ ♦️
well if your device is disconnected it doesn't matter
Oh okay, guess I'll just wait another 24 hours! Again!!!! Awesome haha 😂
just skip it
Yesterday, someone lost their save completely. It's always good to have an off-line backup.
i think ill be fine
yeah backup is good, but the clockwork really isn't a special case
right just tested it, it wont lemme go to the playstation store
so im think im good
now, where is the clock...
right im in set manually
@foggy jacinth what date should i set it?
I’ve decided I want a different Living Ship - mine has no “middle wings”
@brave crow I set mine back a week.

I bricked my save when getting a new ship in the same system, backups save your sanity
of the 2nd
@glad tartan savefile bricking is something else
uhh
So @spice gorge it’s off to nmsseeds you go 😉
oh i see
67 votes and 12 comments so far on Reddit
Manual save regularly too, that gives you a way to easily get back to a good state without messing with files or anything.
no mans sky said i last played on the 15th cuz i set it pack
*set it back
same time and everything
mods can we unpin "second living ship breaks the game" and pin that instead
seems good
Fair enough, I broke my game tho, it was all fucky around the living ship
im so mega hyped to finally get a living ship
It's great, just you know, good luck with upgrades
yeah
so... nobody really -should- even have the living ship yet, right? like, without changing system time and stuff
i’m the only one with a living ship in the anomoyl😎
right im pulsing rn
no, all living ships are clockworked
I saw 4 of them in the anomaly at once when I was there yesterday
but "legit" living ships will be a thing this weekend
Or save editted. The latest update of goatfungus' save editor added living ships to the ship list
o,o Holy butts the history to this game is intersting
Just found out about the Korvax in relation to the Gek D:
@hot wigeon they mean the ships we are getting werent done legitimately
skipping time and all
all of it or just the beginning @fossil hearth
It's a very deep rabbit hole Glitch 😉
nahh
Yeah @lusty hare 3 or 4 timed items times 26hour timers = 2-3 days from now
i time traveler irl to get my living ship
Well, so far the Korvax, went and modified the Gek o,o
That's where I am so far xD
ok so ive been on this egg mission for a while, and how far exactly do i need to warp?
it’s pretty sad that the gek couldn’t change their ways unless they were biologically altered by the korvax /:
@small barn just go through the portal
@small barn Get the egg, have it in your inventory, select the 'Starbirth' quest in your log, hit your PULSE DRIVE (not warp drive), and just cruise, shouldn't take more than 20-30 seconds for something to happen.
They could have in time.... but they Korvax in any event went and sped up the process
At least I suppose o,O
I dont mind the wait that much, but my mission glitched so badly that I lost a lot of progress time.... I did the timeskip thing to make up for that loss, but I dont really want to go too far ahead and get the ship before I am supposed to have it
Ooh oops he’s on the first egg... lol... yeah just pulse
sorry, not what i meant, i mean im on like the last one and it says that i have to find it by unconventional travel, and ive been following the mission line with no end in sight
the*
where is the portal?
they’re should be an added race🤷♂️
Oh, i dunno then havn't reached that step of the quest
@small barn ohh then what I said before. Use a portal
@small barn Your egg says something like The HUnter, right? Unconventional travel = a portal, and that's an address. Check the pins of this channel for a key.
They give u hints on what to select for glyphs
they could definitely have a new species come in with connection to the living ship
Or just get the glyphs from someone on here... that’s what I did
@hot wigeon If I understand the story thus far in the egg quest chain right ||they sort of are a new race, created by the Korvax as an experiment... well created a long time ago but the ships are a race unto themselves, they just don't fit the conventional humanoid form or scale.||
@prime spade ||they're not a new race, but another variant of a ship by combining metal with flesh, which gained sentience||
||the sentience being literally the echoes of dead entities||
wait we're in nms-spoilers
no need to use these
new sentient being = new race
that's like saying if I kill a dude and put his consciousness in a cyborg, I made a new human race
I dunno, you have 'spoilers' like '2 year old storyline content spoilers' and then you have 'Literally happening today content', I always give benefit of the doubt if it's brand spanking new, some people may be here to discuss older revelations, like glitchgirl here ;p
@prime spade ||Good way of putting it, but other than being ships they won’t have much connection to the lore. they could’ve made a new species come to the the main galaxies from the depths of a random galaxy far out. They could’ve tried to wage war over the other three species which creates unification from the 3 main species and out their disagreements aside. the sentinels malfunction from the aging simulation and fall back into retreat. There’s lore behind the gruesome ways they turned their own into ships and makes us feel sympathetic for the ships and that’s why we help them and care for them. (all my opinion||
but aside from that, what Ryu said is spot on, the main connection of the living ship is with the ancient korvax scientists in their homewold, and these experiments went horribly wrong when it came to giving it the souls
are the korvax a race? because the new ships are just as much a race as them
korvax are a race because they arent "made" from an other race
they existed on their own
these ships are a construct by the korvax
that do not have sentience of their own
I may be missing some lore here, but the Korvax were created too
but rather are the echoes of long dead travellers
What do you guys think about my idea🤨
not much because its too predictable and boring imo
I mean, I dont think there really is a right or wrong answer here... it is totally a matter of opinion
I've never been too clear on that. If I'm remembering right, doesn't the monument/ruins lore seems to suggests the Korvax weren't always machines, but augmented and uploaded themselves over time at a much earlier point in the timeline, like, vastly distant past.
finally got the living ship
Yep the Korvax shed their bodies, to become share a conciouseness
There’s a piece of lore that says the ATLAS created korvax based on earlier versions of itself... don’t know how relevant that is, but it’s cool
consciousness even
It makes sense too
Well bleh, time to shower and get ready for work :x
the Atlas created the 3 races to model conflict scenarios
among other species
there was once a great species before the 3, the Atlas removed these species
On that note, Ive not seen anything about that.. so I'll be tuning out for this bit xD
curiosity, greed, and... I forgot what vykeen was
Yea, but somewhere near that same log, it directly states the korvax were based on earlier versions of the atlas, I think
so i just realized, im probably late to this, but using blackholes while using
the living ship doesn't break any "technology"
Self mythicization
Yep
found the text that directly states the korvax were modelled after the Atlas

Oh, also, am I totally mis-reading it. But there IS meant to have been a now deleted 4th race right?
Telamon mentions ATLAS erased a race and expunged all records.
The freighter wrecks, many of them were an exodus fleet from an earlier era. Their records are written in a different style to the 3 races (Their crews talk of concepts like love, faith, genetics. Found the travellers scarey and weird, and also mention having an emperor or king ruling them, and formed some sort've council between them and the 3 races).
Given the original simulation was for predictive modelling on behalf of it's creators, it doesn't seem like a stretch that the expunged race was an analogue of ATLAS's creators.
artificial intelligence partially modelled after earlier forms of [ATLAS] destroyed/enslaved
The game uses the word humanity
So it’s incredibly likely a form of humanity existed
^
that's the main theory on what the precursor species were
okay, this is really annoying...I'm on the Cracking Void Egg, and it is not showing me at all where to go
Yeah I've always interpretted that ATLAS creators were human, but there is relatively little direct evidence to suppor it, just lots of circumstantial evidence
I mean yeah, you're not wrong. It can't speak of something it doesn't know about.
anyone have any thoughts on how to reset this thing?
@prime spade if we were to go by the ARG, we humans created the ATLAS
The ARG, cool as it was to participate in, feels like it doesn't mesh that well with the actual universe and setting of NMS itself :p
@strong drift what is the description on the cracking void egg? what all "organs" do you have so far
I have the stem, shell, heart
well that's only if you think WTverse is the actual birth universe of the atlas
@prime spade some of the parts early on, do mesh
especially the terms used such as "Echo" "Myriad"
"one minute a world of grass, the next a world of bizarre fungal growths"
@strong drift that's a calcishroom planet
it will say "fungal" "sporal" or something similar, when scanned from space
the way both the arg and game speak of a continuous universe in which one universe makes a sim and then another, and then factor in the travellers already existing even though there's no black hole killing the waking titan universe, it's always seemed to me that it's just another atlas sim, with another version of simulated humanity
True. I mean Telamon punches the forth wall very firmly to assert that it's simulations all the way down. But seems like a lazy out that the NMS universe takes place in a sub-universe of the digital universe we see in the ARG.
I Thought the ARG made it fairly clear that the player characters were the anomalies and the anomalies were the people that had been trapped in the experimental virtual reality by where
WARE
Toby is Cronus
i love ppl duping and giving 10x ferrite dust to me everytime
well no man's sky is directly called a game and no man's sky in season 2, so lazy or not... seems like they chose that route
@mighty rampart right, I've gone to the Fungal planet in the system that it originally pointed me to
I missed all the good lore discussion. I do hope we get more story and lore in No Man Sky, I'm all for vagueness but some more... refined vaguness isn't bad. I'm not talking like how Destiny answered all its mysteries but maybe something slightly more vague but with more answers. I guess what I hope for is that we stop the repeats and see if we can continue forward
but it didn't give me that coordinate scan or whatnot
Oooh this time it was 20x
leave the system
this happened with me too
check the galaxy map, it will point you to a new system now
I tried warping to another system, and now in the galaxy map, there isn't an option for "Current Highlighted Mission"
The args really did wonders for fleshing some of that stuff out i still reminisce whenever i look at my physical atlas pass though it doesn’t have much use.
My main standing questions about NMS's universe related to 'the abyss', the undersea ruins tales I'm not sure how we're meant to have understood or interpretted them into the bigger framework, and what was the jagged terror in the sky survivor spoke of in his logs that drove the rest of the crew mad?
@mighty rampart
Pouts
I really wanted to get an ATLAS pass for a keepsake, having been active in NMS like forever and really into the lore, but wasn't one of the lucky ones 😦
well the abyss update, which added the abyss questline, also added a piece of lore that I think ties together two plot elements and makes the abyss origin more obvious
@strong drift then idk, maybe warp a couple times to make it point out the system again
got it, yeah, I've tried that...UGH.
thanks for the attempt to help though
super, super annoying
something people seldom speak about: sunken ruins. they have their own lore, and it's about a dude finding a marble of some sort and going insane. it's crazy, and weird, and I love it
I'm also bummed out they didn't continue or add on to that ARG for NMS almost NO ONE knew about

is there going to be upgrades for the living ships in the furture?
he goes all out with the adjectives but becomes obsessed as time goes on. when he finds a crimson diffusion inside of it, though, he starts to hate it, and casts it away. but then he finds it again, and laments the way he treated it
@uncut harness I couldn't help but wonder if the marble story is meant to be read in allegory. It stood out to me the one section:
I couldn't bear to look at it. After all I've done for it, it lets me down like this? Get out! Broken, awful, stupid -```
'Broken, Awful, and Stupid' are coloured as if translated from Korvax, Gek and Vykeen
language respectively. As was some sort've commentary from the narrator.
I think it's supposed to be a metaphor for the mirrored universes. the crimson diffusion is the atlas, obviously, and the diffusion is the atlas' death showing over time that it's not a perfect universe
the narrator can't bear that realization
I still dont understand base archives mission lore
since that was in the abyss update, I think the abyss somehow relates to the atlas' death
on one hand it sounds like our traveller in its previous iteration
probably anger, manifesting itself into the sunken horrors
then it seems like someone else instead
maybe the Abyss is the duplicate the Atlas deleted

The world of glass?
Glass seems to be a backup protocol where the Sentinels are archiving everything, souls, echos or whatever you call them archived to glass are essentially trapped there.
Except a previous itteration apparently got backed up there and escaped, after he entrapped and 'befriended' a sentinel (Laylaps I think he called it?). That itteration might well have been 'us' in an earlier itteration.
yeah Laylaps
the glass and abyss always intrigued me because they're so similar
both are figures that became more apparent through simulation deterioration of some regard, and yet are entirely unknown (and referenced so much, anyway)
is there an amount of time you need to pulse to find the new space anomalies?
no set amount
(Headcanon on my part. But long-term data archives in the real world CAN be laser-etched into glass as a substrate, allowing data to be stored 3 dimensionally in remarkable density for extremely long periods and in very adverse conditions.
It'd almost make sense for the system - faced with destruction, to try archive stuff literally to a solid substrate like glass).
I pulse jumped for 3 mins and got nothing
pulse jumped again in a different system, something would pop up every 10-15 seconds
@prime spade that was always a very interesting detail from the WT ARG. do you remember the infinity mirror analogy?
hm alright, ive been trying for like 20 min
like, when we put an atlas station against a glass, which reflected another glass
and then took a photo
I honestly don't remember too much of the ARG's details and revelations.
(BRB rebooting)
I have often thought the world of glass might be related to White-box testing, aka glass box testing.
we did that, and I didn't realize it until much later, but with mirrors being composed of glass, it made me ask: are the world of glass and the literal glass that comprise mirrors connected? seems like a no-brainer to me... world of glass is somehow related to the atlas' ability to continue making itself, over and over
it's just hard to pin-point where, or how
My theory is still backup storage - world of glass is linked to where the sentinels send everyone, and no one dies
ATLAS RAID
If I get the glyphs from doing The Purge mission, can I stay in Euclid? Or does something happen? It's been years since I've played through this storyline so I don't remember what happens
If one more Gek stops me mid-flight and needs a microprocessor... I'm gonna..... well I guess, just give it to them
perhaps the glass protocol stores both every subsequent simulation as well as every living being from within them, and that's what we hear so much about
it's interesting, because the creator regards the glass as unexpected, yet it's a protocol...
Maybe someday we will learn the answers
Hopefully not any time soon, it would ruin the experience
every good story has that loose, undefinable thread
most, anyway
but we have so many
It should remain at least somewhat vague and open to interpretation to keep it somewhat interesting
I can live with that
that's why we're talking about it four years later, after all
Like telling a kid all about Santa, to then right after say it's all made up, so no presents for you ...
that's what we need: a genuine discussion over abyss, because that one is harder to figure out than the glass at this point
is it another AI, or is it an extension of the ATLAS? is it both, or is it the result of aberrant behavior stemming from its death instead?
it's not a protocol, yet it spreads across the entirety of the simulation
It does say it can corrupt
oh, yeah, it does
abyss literally means a bottomless, dark chasm, so I'm still betting something death related, and not something related to an actual new figure
but it's still intriguing
Maybe that's why the horrors are the same - all a part of the Abyss Virus
also, something else: there are two parts to the lore that mention the abyss, and seem like they might be connected to me
there's the log about a freighter full of the first spawn "fleeing an abyss" and then the crashed freighter of "dreams of the deep." what if these were one in the same?
in greek myth, the most abyss-like being there is, is for damned souls
tartarus
"examine the egg in your inventory" how do i do that?
im looking at it rn and it doesnt say much
Could be as simple as the abyss being the personification of the purge that ATLAS conducted. The freighters we see scattered were an exodus fleet fleeing the purge, no reason to think the one in the abyss was any different.
That being said however the purge was executed by the Sentinels.
@untold loom you're looking for a Plaque
read what it says towards the bottom of the description
Found it - "The First Spawn would not stop talking, would not stop glorifying their cruel life of brutality and pain. One night they sang a song, a tale of a lost people, of an armada of freighters fleeing the abyss."
added in 1.5 as well, shortly before abyss
when touched, it counjoures a powerfull vision of a world beset by powerful anomalies and strange colours
what does that mean
ok
Ultramarine, doomed - like that
may I ? What about Abyss being some kind of Cthulhu ? (WT reference). One log from freighters says "they drank the water". We are talking here about corruption
@brave crow Anomalous world - the ones that have bizarre colour shaders and usually follow a colour naming/weather scheme (ie. "Impossibly Blue' 'Bloody rains' 'Lost green orb'
definitely possible because HG has fallen in love with being more alien recently ashker
grr, my coordinates aren't narrowing down at all, and there is nothing around this area at all
i hope im not bugged again
There are co-ordinates on the MFDs in your ship and on your analysis visor
We may have fed Abyss enough for its creatures to populate the universe ( living ships) we can only afford by killing etc...
-41.??, -55.?? for me, and I have covered the whole area.... nothing but a boundary fauliure thing
man i gotta travel a LONG time
Might want to hop back out atmosphere and try reposition, obviously the higher the altitude, the less air resistance and the higher your top speed
There are so many possibilities for what the Abyss could be, but I really wanted a protagonist to the Atlas - not a boss that we try and stop, but a competing power with the same amorality
I'm sorry I forgot what is the abyss again?
We don't know
We don't know Panda 😉 - what's what we're discussing
Mentioned as a power similar in nature to the Atlas, but distinct
For my information, anyone eared the water sounds in Atlas anomaly ?
Maybe it made atlas
I have, but I can't decide if it is a glitch, or if the Abyss is winning
light has a nice effect on the colors
a glitch this accurate would be some huge coincidence ^^
there's a similar water sound in the final atlas interface of the artemis path
I heard it yesterday
it's like dripping water, in some abandoned building
might be representative of what the atlas' environment is like outside of its simulation, with it being left on an abandoned planet in some building, probably
It might be a virus
It's like the neverending story. Its... "The nothing"
To quote Rick monster; "These look like good strong hands..."
(I hadn't sat and listened to the water tanks on the anomaly but you're right. And that sounds way too delibrate to be accidental xD)
maybe the Atlas is about to be flooded just like who we know was flooded a few years ago 😉
oh wow that's so strange, videos I'm watching of the exact moment I was in when I heard the water don't have it
but they're all older, is it a new ambiance?
I don't know how new, but I didn't hear that before recently
sorry for my bad english (as always)
It is nms though, so I won't discount a weird audio glitch/mistake
.....
I'm going to say that Atlas probably doesn't like the Abss
NMS going for mmo mechanics with its "Wait 22 hours" message
🤢
I don't want to say this because I know it's wrong, but it's an idea
actually yeah I won't, because I don't even agree with it
Go for it, all my ideas are always wrong
DO IT
I guess I can go play destiny 2 till it's ready I guess. Kinda sucks the fun out for a casual gamer tho devs
xD - honestly there's no bad ideas. Even if it's wrong we can identify what parts of it wouldn't add up and avoid re-treading that ground later :p
just skip the timer like the rest of us scrubs
And how praytell does one skip the timer
Pc
That is just the first friend
a massive, massive stretch, but... we can suppose the atlas is inside of a building, right, like any machine? and like any building, buildings decompose. I've always wondered what it would be like to be next to the atlas in its final moments - the deterioration of the building it's in.
and I've always wondered how the atlas is protecting itself from being destroyed as the building itself caves in, through a millennia.. seems like a weird, left out detail
the Atlas is actually the physical disc
Surprised they aren't doing a dungeon keeper and selling power gems.. :p
How many glyphs do you need for the void egg quest?
lol
Who says the creators of the Atlas are gone though, might be one of a million sims running
12 in Euclid
Gotcha, thank you!
creator come back in the last days ( remembrance log)
the last we see the creator is before they depart for thousands of years
But anything the Atlas tells us is suspect
Abyss could be just like atlas but was put in to "help/fix" the Atlas'es mistakes
Telamon showed us the atlas is a liar
According to lore, Atlas and Abyss leave a distinct but similar signal
Big fat red liar
well, with the building being broken, and perhaps almost not even existing anymore... what if the atlas was personifying an actual threat of water into the simulation? like I said, a stretch. like, rain, or busted pipes leaking the water... through its rampancy ushered by its death, it might just be literally using the water near its physical form and simulating a danger similar to it, is what I'm saying. and no, I don't believe it, I just think it's interesting, even if completely wrong
or was it 'energy signature'
Energy
even if this is all wrong, it does make me question how the building the atlas is held in is holding up by the time it dies, lol
Well, I have my own theories on who this 'creator' may be and what the abyss stands for. Not widely supported though
?
I still believe the creator is HG and the water was a nightmare that nearly ruined the existence of NMS as a whole
No wonder people don't agree, dream killer
how do i get upgrades for my living ship? i’ve been pulsing for like 5 minutes and nothing
Just joking of course, that could very well be
I wouldn't put it past them to use the flood as inspiration for the abyss, you might just be right
many other parts of the lore are inspired by real life incidents
O got the joking part, no worries
what the fuck lmao that makes sense
every artemis path traveller is based on a type of player, and the plotpoint of not seeing players actually happened IRL
...okay, so the egg coordinates led me to a boundary failure
this seems like the buggiest mission line ever
if that flood idea is correct devilin, that might connect with what I said, too
about the atlas fearing water, due to it being a machine
Ahuh
now if only I can figure out if what I've heard in the station was actually water droplets
@lusty hare what do you mean buggy
And in my opinion, considering NMS is a game, Atlas is a simulation, but not aware of being a simulation itself.
That is how @hot wigeon - maybe try another system?
@mighty rampart well, I assume it should be leading me to another plaque or monolith or something, not a boundary failuer
@uncut harness you mean the sounds your ship makes sometimes
@lusty hare but that's intended, not a bug
Just like we may be living a simulation, but generally accept life as being real
really? it is supposed to lead me to this? but there is nothign to do here...
@icy citrus will do
ugh, found it... thanks
@lusty hare go to one of its sides and interact with it
So what happens if you shut down a program, software, a game and you are Atlas. Would you think you're dying?
🤔
does anyone have a spare active void egg
solid question
I was just confused because it led me to a different thing in each stage and I have had so many bugs so far
To then spring to life again as if nothing happened, because all it was was an update to the simulation as we know it
@misty citrus it wont work for you anyway
well if water is being used by the atlas to create the abyss, why is it spawning in so many enemies and corrupt creatures in the water? rampancy? it's not able to take its death, and the danger of the water, lightly? I don't know
@mighty rampart I have the part of Starbirth where I need to find a marked planet but I lost my active void egg
is it from the beginning?
Like when you find the first marked system/planet with coordinates to go to
ok first then
hmm
could be possible then maybe
I found out that if you lose the active void egg in the middle of the mission, it will be permanently bricked
oof
normal void egg wont help, active void egg even in that particular state does not seem to work
ok last thing I'll say - if the abyss is a caricature of the atlas' fear of the water, it makes sense it has a distinct signal, yet similar to the atlas. that's because the fear is not meant to exist, and thus is a different power in some regard (as it is extremely powerful to a machine), but the fear comes from the atlas anyway, which is why it's so similar. food for thought
I do remember that Abyss Lore when it was added in like.. Atlas Rises right? I was kinda worried they forgotten it..
The atlas fears the water because it's a computer
I examine the records relating to the abyss. They show a repeating pattern of sixteen energy bursts, music that emerges from beneath the waves.
I love the music that plays when your oxygen levels are low and you're drowning
is there an easier way to find co ords on planets then just flying around?
because this is getting hella boring
As the atlas dies, the water becomes more prominent? Explains the relation to 16, or at least it’s suffering rampancy either because of an actual fear of water or the abyss represents the void of nothingness swallowing the simulation whole... or both
Kzzzt. Is the sound of the atlas computer being submerged, lol
LOL
Heh.. Music.. seems to be a theme.. Thats a pattern related to the living ships and The Abyss, I wonder if they harbor some minor ties, I mean The Abyss did have contact with Korvax and The Korvax did make the living ships. Eh whatever.. Just rambling things that aren't really right and all so meh.
Anyone know what the "Derelict Freighters" are for?
Bait
I've run across them a few times but don't see any way to really interact with it.
Nothing you can do, but some trigger pirates to come after you ;-)
I think from the small amount of lore we have about the Abyss, that it is certainly something bad. I remember a log where it spoke about a world of annihilation
I think Laylaps was mentioned as well
is there any unused living ship stuff?
The First Spawn would not stop talking, would not stop glorifying their cruel life of brutality and pain. One night they sang a song, a tale of a lost people, of an armada of freighters fleeing the abyss.
Of a world where every Sentinel turned against every living thing, annihilating them all within moments. Laylaps showed no sign of understanding. It did not leave us, nor did it try and explain.
im gonna walk to the co ords the egg is givin me
im too close to find it via ship it seems
just gotta wait on this dumb storm
Yes, once you get to the approximate location, land and search to get more precise coordinates
hmmm so I found the buildings, got nothing but a cryptic message for the egg quest. Is there something else I should be doing?
Okay, so I just did the reset and I have a question or two... first of all, ||do we ever find out why Atlas stopped talking to -null-?||
I wish I knew
I think it’s because he’s a jerk but I could be wrong idk
I have a couple questions about the egg mission if anyone has the time though
hey, do we have to close out of steam to change sys time
After my stem matured, I pulse jumped and got the second living ship to stop and talk to me, and then I continued pulsing instead of hopping to the system like the egg wanted me to, and I got another anomaly and it was a squiggly thing but then it disappeared so I reloaded and this time a black hole popped up. Anyone know wnything? Lol
hey how did you get your egg to mature? Do I just wait?
your egg doesn't mature
you pulse jump in space
until somethign starts talking to you
yeah I got to the consol on that system you have to find via portal
just lost on what to do now
oh, in that case idk. i'm way behind you
I dont know which type I want to reset to
Do you know the differences?
not really
thanks
I am guessing that 'Lush' is probably the 'best'... but also the one with the most people
tf is a "councousness bridge"
I dont really understand the biome table though
am i doing something right
show me some love on that subscibe button.

Are there any lore or story as to why there are Abandoned Stations? I just came across my very first one
Its terrifying and aweosme
Abandoned Stations were the Space Stations the game had for a long while until they re-designed them to the Space Stations in game now.
So it's more of a nod to what once was.
so wait
do i have to do all this counciousness bridge crafting and stuff or just find some portal
and enter some glyph
nvm i see
👍
can you find trading posts from maps that you make out of nav data on a space station/>
?
Can anyone on PS4–Normal taxi me to the planet at the end of the Starbirth quest that requires the portal glyphs? I don’t have all of them yet.
Will give you another free Void Egg
question how many parts are there for the starbirth quest? im on fragile shell
5
how is the last planet called, where the final of the quest takes place?
I just wanted to know if there's already a gamepedia page about it.
okay, after the reset is there supposed to be a white screen for a very long time, or is my game messed up?
nevermind, it finally loaded
right
i got the nural sten
stem
should i close application on NMS and skip 2 days ahead now?
@brave crow Yes, see the pins in #nms-questions about the charts
well if you should wait 24 hours for it to mature what do you think you should do?
yeah but should i close NMS
yes, otherwise it may not like the time being changed while its running....
hi does anyone know how to get upgrades for the living ship?
er, I got a blueprint for 'remembrance' but I need a 'heart of the sun' any idea where to get that? the mission log doesnt say
you need to visit the atlas interfaces
if you set it to your primary mission
itll show you where they are
you go in and get blueprint
oh, like for the Atlas Path? I dont have that mission anymore because I did Artemis Path.... should I have done Atlas first?
I thought Artemis first was better
i did artemis too but it doesnt really matter
Is there a weekly amount of QuickSilver missions someone can do?
just kinda sucks that I will now have a half built tech sitting in my inventory and mission log now until I do the whole Atlas thing
i know but you gotta do it eventually
like im hopping systems to break tthe economy for money with wiring looms and it takes time
patience is key
yes
ight im heading to another system i gues
oh god do i have to find more co ords
that was tourture
Yes
does anyone know how to get upgrades for the living ship?
Space encounters
finding co ords is a pain
Shoot eggs
@pure radish by warping for space encounters
wait you can upgrade the living ships?
ok
I thought it said you couldn't
thanks
Pulse drive, not warp
wait, i suddenly got 5 void eggs?
how long does it usually take for one to happen
It’s randomized
oh no my luck as absolute crap
flips table
THESE CO ORDS ARE SO FAR AWAY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I HATE PLANETARY CO ORDS
😠
Just fly up and out of the atmosphere to travel faster and just keep dipping back dow to make sure you’re on track.
So how am i supposed to hatch this egg now?
I’ll update you when I figure that part out lol
i know how
lol
smash it
How
just keep pulse driving
i’m happy.
tries to swallow entire egg
i get a white on white on white on white living ship
thats pretty allwhite
also i figured a better way to get idot co ords
is glow what i call the LED lights?
pulse jumping just outside the planet
i traveled big fast doing that
and im still ages away
ok back on track
‘idot’?
what are idiot coords lmao
Only like 6 or 7 more times then
uhh
8 times
Last step has 3 separate ones
i hate this game
but for the last one you can just look around once you get to the general coords
this is just pain
last one is easy
pain and suffering
people put messages down at where you need to be
and the ||graves|| will come up in your visor
welp i def aint getting sleep
other than being time consuming the coords haven't been that big of an issue for me. or i'm just lucky, idk. 🤔
just got my third living ship :)
then im gonna literally name i-
no sleep til brooklyn
name it PITA
i haven’t named mine yet
true
well, first time i did it the right way, the second time it got buggedd
"a true PITA i should name it"
yes
as soon as i’m gonna take a pic of my ship..
because its a GODDAMN PAIN IN THE-
it rains
also living freighters when
Tomorrow
wait actually
Really??
wait what’s happening tmr?
Living freighters??
yknow the cloning place
imagine the work to get a living freighter
lol
must be like 10x a ship
Or growing ours
how cool would it be to have a fleet of living ships on a living freighter
you need to get 5 living ships in order to sacrificed for the freighter
and living frigates
living heads when
no
Tomorrow
and then walk on foot to the space station to get another ship
living exosuit
That is current
space walks when
living planet when
living. when
i wanna be able to walk in space
When the mech gets here
bro i want a mech
i haven’t been able to live in so long😔
exosuits are bolted into your bone-
Datamined
Yes
thats being added?
Dunno
So whats the way to hatch living ships?
bruh im boutta do exocraft mission ASAP
Some stuff doesn't make it, or takes a very long time
I got distracted lol
@still stratus slam the egg as hard as you can onto your knee and it gives you a bb ship
...
why does that mech have 2 different legs?
Wip
reminds me of the PRAWN suit
that mech
shoutout to whoever knows what the PRAWN suit is#
no mans sky reminds me of subnautica
subnautica, but biiig
beeger
Living ship question... So if I save before and reload after if I don't like my living ship, when is it generated? Can I pull this off just before it's unveiled or do I have to go waaay back and do the whole 21 hour waiting thing. Or.... is it generated by the system you start/end in?
make a save right before you accept the intercom
after you go through the portal back to your own world
like a hard save
but before you get into your ship
;)
The intercom when you first go into pulse drive witht he void egg?
nooh, way later
Okay, so after the 21 hours?
is this your first 21 hours?
Yesssss....
Do i need to have emeril drives?
Lame..
You are now the opposite of TheHappiness
^true
So after the fourth period?
after the fourth you go to a portal
and when you return from the teleporter, then you save
but you dont need to worry about that now
ones a 25 hour wait
since you still need to wait 80+ hours
Which is why I don't want a lame ship.
yeah word
I'm waiting for the composter update to get rid of our disappointing whale babies
here’s another pic
Ooooo nice
Nice I hope I get one that colour... just visited the glitch so now waiting begins
I have another wait after this one don't I @icy citrus having just visited the Glitch thing where you interact with the terminal on the side?
Yep
so it'll be Monday or Tuesday when I get mine then...
damn
But it will be beautifully ugly
it certainly wants to be worth the wait and all this faffing about...
I haven't seen a single bad one - I have seen ones I wouldn't pick because of the color but they still look good
In an ugly nasty way
I'd be more than happy with a white one... 😉
Yeah I know lol
Mine is delicious
Oh that is awful, I like it
They're so disgusting.
Name it Malignancy
HAH
Great name !
That one looks neat
How many steps are there im at the heart
I dunno, heart brain shell soul? Am I missing any?
Oh gods i have 2 more :-/
Oh, and you have to charge the soul chamber
I assume thats what the waiting is for?
Waiting between each step
There's 5 phases
Fucking kill me
I assume you know how to skip the wait
There’s a trick you can do on ps4 to skip the wait
But yeah the coordinate search gets a bit grating
On all platforms
Yeah but i dont wanna fuck it up
Can anyone bring me to the portal planet at the end?
the glyphs don't work
?
I’m missing the last 2 glyphs, which are needed for the quest
Ah
I found a grave and it didn’t give me anything
What platform?
PS4 Normal
💔
Do you have the regular coordinates to the planet? I might be able to warp there
depending on how far I am away
wouldn't work anyway... you have to activate the portal yourself.. if you join someone who portalled to the system you will be placed in the system they left from not where they are currently...
yeah but it still would be open
Group warp solves that
the portal
my ship is so friendly
Nah, you can't use it if someone else activates it
if you reset the simulation do you,
- get to go to essenstiem
- Get to keep your bases in euclid
3.does it damage all your stuff
@uncut harness 1) If you choose the right icon (Eissentam is green)
2) Yes
3) Yes. Use a junk ship and multi-tool to help out.
@hot wigeon if the one I get is not White I'm going to hunt you down.... 😉
Galactic address : 026A:0084:0C16:0219
@jovial stag i have the seed if you ever wanna go there🤷♂️
but blue in colour while you scan around
