How does it make the tech optimal? I switched them around, and nothing really changed. Is this just part of the experimental?
hybrid pendant
but i never saw that one anywhere

@vague badge each module gets an adjacency bonus based on the number of sides adjacent to that's of the same type
if you arrange them in a line, you only make use of 6 adjacency bonuses
but if you arrange them in a square, you have 8
vague badge
I'll get a new screenshot in a second, I had to make the launch thrusters a snake, but they're just launch thrusters
I think it looks better, always thought I still got the bonus just by the squares glowing
covert rune
when you get the coords for an egg hatch, is the ship design decided then? or not until im in visual range of it?
candid vortex
once you get the coords, that's it
ivory crown
not until you exit the portal and hop on your ship
make a manual save before hopping on the ship
vague badge
@ivory crown
Here you go
I want to keep the photon in the tech slots cause they act different in the inventory slot
Otherwise I'd make the hyperdrive a square, too
covert rune
ah kay so long as i just fly around the landing site, if it's not what i like, i just restart and pulse till coords again?
ivory crown
that's still suboptimal, and look at the small difference in manuverability and shields
vague badge
Oh it's up by one point
Nice thank you
I guess I'll really see it improve in the next update
ivory crown
what I have is as far as it go
it doesn't get any stronger
I rerolled the slot arrangement and base stat several times
vague badge
Does the experimental branch display the DPS on the weapons?
Still only displays dps on the cold, metal ships
ivory crown
I don't know; I don't play experimental

Huh... so PC already can upgrade their organs in the base game?
I hope that becomes available soon for us

@ivory crown damn I only got lucky finding s class grafted eyes
You are just really lucky then, I'll go out and keep warping
Thanks for the info

My egg’s coordinate data isn’t getting anymore specific despite the fact I have passed the spot it game me twice
crisp flint
Gotcha
covert rune
just to be more specific, when doing a 2nd egg, the ship design is decided when i get flagged down for the coords? or further back when i buy the egg itself?
crisp flint
I’m looking for a monolith?

cool i need to get out of this system, it's all extreme storm planets that screw with the color, cant get a clear look

Colours are awesome, not sure about design though.
Are all the ship damage focus ?

I believe so

oh my so gold is in the color pool huh
twilit ocean
Oh yeah
I go tons of gold ones earlier
The color pool is shared with the crashed ships I think.
So gold ships = gold alien ships
uncut harness
Good god.
I'm on the planet now trying to do this egg quest.
The one where you gotta find traveler graves.
I'm not finding any.
The coordinates are just constantly changing.
Oh yeah, heard it's quite fun.
It's not.
twilit ocean
I wonder when they are gonna add new tech for them though
cause as of right now they don’t have much advantage aside from organic resource consumption.
twilit ocean
Size doesn’t matter
though I think tech slots should be expandable.
Regular storage no though.
toxic dirge
Agree to disagree then. I like ships with a lot of space
twilit ocean
That’s fair but they already have tons of bonuses
toxic dirge
I suppose
twilit ocean
Having more tech slots would be plenty extra
Cause 22 slots should be enough storage in my opinion.
Otherwise your exosuit isn’t maxed
Or what the hell are you carrying
toxic dirge
I use cobalt for trading
twilit ocean
Oh okay
toxic dirge
I go to one system, sell it all then repurchase
twilit ocean
30mil would be what, 30 stacks?
toxic dirge
So I make 30 million then buy it back for 7 million
ivory crown
imagine not carrying all the raw resources you'll ever need in your backpack
toxic dirge

twilit ocean
What do you mean
The heck else am I suppose to use that for
I still have 27 slots open in my suit
Wait no 23

I have 50+30 high capacity ones and it's not enough, I feel ya.
twilit ocean

I'm looting these freighters regularly and I have so much platinum
I just randomly throw around platinum and salvaged frigate modules in anomaly
twilit ocean
Sounds like me and my 15 void eggs
But seriously though what do you guys need so much space for.
Trading that much cobalt would be only 15 stacks
uncut harness
raw shit. A lot of raw shit.

today alone I threw around ~100 eggs

A lot of different raw shit.

Cords aren't matching up. Nothing at them

At a loss then, you're supposed to find the graves in the vicinity using the visor
They at most were 200u away for me
ivory crown
try your luck on other side of portal by paying holo travelers 100 nanites then
azure prism
Almost 2 hours in and stumbled onto 1
ivory crown
use the visor
twilit ocean
Also As far as what I was asking for alien tech, I do think we need some variants of stuff. But I think double tech slots in upgrading in a unique way, and having unique weapons would be a cool start.
Like really unique ones
Like tracing bullets

I want my ship to lunge at ships with a close range set of tentacles.
It'll grab the enemy ship, and squeeze them over time similar to an octopus

I have a reason to believe plasma nades and geology cannons are just an instadeath and doesn't actually calculate damage

Probably

this geology cannon with 3 +50% radius upgrades is bane of my existence

They all look like fish to me.
I called mine “Twilight Betta” for that very reason.
twilit ocean
I called mine Hoshiguma
I was going to try get a horned one to name it that.
But i settled for what I got
uncut harness
I started looking for a very specific design and color pattern, but hundreds of generations later, and I still haven’t found one that’s perfect, and the one I have now is starting to grow on me.

Finding these living ships is just as tedious as freighter hunting.

Nanites are easy to come by if you know where to look.

Ouch that autocorrect
uncut harness
Yeah, I noticed it too late.
vague badge
Anyway I just found a black hole as a random encounter, and it turns out that the organic ships are immune to damage from the black hole!
Like their bodies are built for this
uncut harness
Do you have upgrades on it?
vague badge
Yep
uncut harness
Sicc, so the rumors are true.
twilit ocean
Some people stated it doesn’t work though
@vague badge Where were the upgrades placed
vague badge
Both inventory and tech slots
twilit ocean
Neat
vague badge
Living ships might make traveling through black holes a cheaper solution
Man I'm gonna start jumping into black holes for fun
twilit ocean
So how big is a skybox for a system anyway
vague badge
No idea, but I warped 7 minutes out of where the planets were, and sometimes crashed if I was to suddenly mine asteroids or fight pirates.
If I go too far out, I'd then just warp to another system or jump in the anomaly
vague badge
That would be cool, just go so far that you end up in the next system
twilit ocean
Originally that was a feature they intended to add
But i think it took too much processing
vague badge
Ya
I just jumped through my 4th black hole, and a tech in the inventory slot was damaged
Maybe they just last longer?

No

Do people ever use common sense for a game

The first thought I had was offline mode timer skip

@twilit ocean How am I supposed to know whether it tracks off the game
twilit ocean
I came here confirmed it and got to work

@viral yarrow by learning how the game works
twilit ocean
After playing games for several years you tend to understand games better.
vague badge
All my farms, expeditions, and extractors work offline
viral yarrow
Really?
twilit ocean
Especially if you have attention to detail and understand the technology.
viral yarrow
For this mission alone?
twilit ocean
It’s a offline and online game
vague badge
Anything that has a timer, likely goes on still offline
twilit ocean
Therefore by process of elimination what Lym said ^
The timer continue offline since it can be played offline
viral yarrow
Mhm indeed it's an offline and online games, but even then there are offline games that still keep in game time in track.
vague badge
I love this game
twilit ocean
So when you turn off internet on your console of any kind
vague badge
<3
twilit ocean
On a offline game
And fast forward the clock by a day or two
it registers as the time passed
vague badge
If you played fable, I believe the third one had timers which worked offline
Similar concept
twilit ocean
Because since it is offline and online, there isn’t a function for the timer to stay active only in game.
And yea
I will
because
it’s
a bad habit from short text box games
viral yarrow
Lmfao, kk thanks for the tip

Asi
viral yarrow
I'ma use this
twilit ocean
But yeah It’s just a bad habit I acquired from games
my fingers get tired if I try to use both hands to type as well.
twilit ocean
Yeah I played a lot of phone games
So as a habit when it involves games I fragment type
vague badge
Yeah
crisp flint
You know the space part of the 16/16 mission is like a death sentence on permadeath
twilit ocean
Really?
crisp flint
That brief bit of space drained my exosuit life support like 4 times
In the short amount of time I was there
And that was with three s class upgrades
crisp flint
I’m positive I would have died if not nearly died had I not had oxygen on me
crisp flint
Well yeah of course, I’ll do that if I ever do that mission again, but I completely forgot about that space part initially and it was an unpleasant surprise
vague badge
Why I don't play on permadeath. I die more times by accident
I have a good example, I just gotta upload the video to imgur
crisp flint
I’ve done a few playthroughs at this point
I spend almost all of my time in space though
But yeah accidental deaths are a huge problem
vague badge
I lost the video, xbox probably deleted it because I took too long
What happened though was when I joined my friend's system with my new living ship, the ship turned into rubble, and I died in space
crisp flint
Yeah thankfully I’m on pc so I can alt + f4 if I’m about to die to something like that
But bugs are the #1 permadeath run ender

Oh I hate this egg quest.
I need to fill the soul chamber with traveller souls but when I arrive I see no traveller graves.
It also changes coordinates constantly.

Meanwhile, I’m beginning to fully embrace my own living ship. I will admit I wasn’t fully convinced in keeping it at first, but I really think it’s going to be the most unique ship I’ll ever see.
uncut harness
I mean, the colors are absolutely magnificent. Even after searching for and finding one that matched my legacy hauler, I still couldn’t bring myself to leave it behind.
vague badge
Are the lines red? If so it's rare, and to be so vibrant adds on
uncut harness
Red and pink, actually.

Fuck I'm envious
uncut harness
Seems like you’re not the only one.
Also, space whales align blowholes and lay eggs in space out the exhaust.
vague badge
Mine is grey, And has a pink to red fade on with the lines.
That's hot
I miss my old ship tbh, but the hotfix for the planets changed it
It changed to a disgusting yellow
uncut harness
This was my first one, and I loved it while it matched my legacy hauler.
But as you said, the first hotfix changed its colors to a bland purple, so I had to let it go.
Let’s just hope future hotfixes don’t change the ships any further. I’d actually be more disappointed this time.
mighty rampart
@viral yarrow not at the moment, no
seems they reused the crashed freighter asset
vague badge
I'm in love with my new ship
I'll be really salty if I lose this beauty like I did the other
uncut harness
Yeah, exactly. But if star systems have an effect on the generation of living ships, and the last hotfix changed those generations, then we shouldn’t see living ships changing as long as the generation of Star systems remains the same.
Would anybody be willing to help me finish my living ship quest? I need to find 2 more traveller graves for the soul chamber thing.
Also that's a nice looking ship.
As long as you’re following the coordinates, you should be fine as you are.
I do
I see no traveller graves.
Perhaps you are not close enough, then?
I go to the coordinates it tells me to but no dice.
And are those coordinates exact, or do they keep fluctuating as if the point of interest is on the move?
Fluctuating.
Then you’re not close enough yet. Try to pay attention to the highest and lowest numbers that are given, then try to get to the middle of that range.
mighty rampart
it took me nearly an hour to find my first grave, and this was back when there were no comm balls to guide you
uncut harness
I didn’t use comm balls at all.
I'll try again but if it's the same shit I'm probably just gonna yeet this egg & forget about the whole damn thing.
And due to an inventory error, I actually ended up visiting five graves instead of three.
This quest is a true test of your patience. Don’t give up after coming so far.
Yeah about that.
I don't like going to the general area & not seeing anything.
It's more of a nuisance than patience.
Try moving closer to the middle of that coordinate range. You’ll be able to see the graves in your visor.
But I’d hate to see people giving up now after coming so far on this journey.
mighty rampart
eh to each their own
not everyone, and definitely not most people, will find the mission enjoyable
uncut harness
Yeah, I guess you’re right.
I use the visor.
I forget that people don’t find things as easy as I might.
Nothing
mighty rampart
it would have been much better if
- coordinates were clearer on your ship and not get obscured by lighting/fog etc
- those graves were at sea level and making them appear on your visor, they're in depressions of ground and done come up on your visor until you reach really close to it
viral yarrow
Hm
I'm at the very end
||I'm typing in my coordinates in the portal, I get em all down to the teeth, I pass through it, and the planet I'm teleported to apparently isn't the one||

I want to see the cords on your ship computer.
mighty rampart
@uncut harness you are on the same planet that you had when you portaled in? did you fly away to some other planet in the system?
uncut harness
Not when I portaled in.
I logged off for a break & it had me regain another soul chamber but on a different planet.
Same system.
mighty rampart
What
uncut harness
I still have my previous soul chamber with the 33% progress.
mighty rampart
Did it specifically tell you to go to a different planet?
uncut harness
Yes
mighty rampart
Bruh
uncut harness
Ah, mistakes were made.
mighty rampart
That sounds ridiculous

If I log off & come back it will probably make me go back to planet nyxara

So I'm curious, can asteroid larva be killed?
uncut harness
I haven’t found a way, and the normal way is ineffective.
hoary robin
Never encountered them in my fighter (Which has rockets) but beam/bullet weapons seem wholly ineffective.
uncut harness
Seems to me like they’re just kinda... there.
They actually don’t harm you from what I can tell.
hoary robin
Get too close and they bloody well start chewing through your shields painfully fast 😄
uncut harness
If that’s the case, then I may have run into one that didn’t do that at all.
hoary robin
Yeah, all four I've ran into to date do the abyssal horror thing, suck you in, and then start pounding the snot out of your shields. Usually run after that

did you try to use the weaps from the living ship on the asteroid larva??
hoary robin
Yep, was living ship weaponry. Will need to swap to a fighter with other weapon types later 😄

I got one focused on the minigun thing on normal ship if you need :) tho dont have time till later

Not so great inventory though.

inventory is less than perfect, but it's enough to get 5 tech squares. and I plan to not max out one of the guns, so that's fine
hoary robin
Yeah, the layout, warp range, and damage were all stupidly good rolls. The.... manuvering, not so much.
uncut harness
Maneuverability is my prime stat.
hoary robin
Mine is "excessive damage"
signal venture
what's you maneuver, trade?
uncut harness
Now that I think about it, I haven’t actually looked at my base stats. Give me a moment.
I have upgrades applied, so I need to look through my visor.
OK
I'm on planet nyxara
signal venture
i think it will still give you the wrong number, just temporarly overload your heart upgrades
uncut harness
I'm going to make my way closer to where the coordinates are that this shitty egg is telling me to go to.
mighty rampart
damn nice
I am really enjoying the way you find upgrades
I'm just regularly playing and come across a void egg on occasion
feels great
uncut harness
It’s nice, but time consuming.
mighty rampart
though I still feel they should have done a different approach
signal venture
you can get upgrades fast if you know where to look
mighty rampart
HG over relies on RNG
mighty rampart
eh its just about time
uncut harness
Boo.
signal venture
you'll get it when we get it
hoary robin
You can get S modules, I got several from pulsing around
They're just... obnoxiously rare.
signal venture
yeah, i mean, you can't upgrade
uncut harness
I have exactly one.
hoary robin
Yeah, no upgrading yet.
hoary robin
Doing a little test right now to... see if something stupid worked.
signal venture
mostly C classes, except for shields which are all B and weapons which are A and S
uncut harness
It almost feels like the type of upgrades are set to specific classes.
uncut harness
You have B vents though.
uncut harness
Gotta get those S modules at some point.
signal venture
nah, we can just upgrade them. all you need is a C class to seed the organs
hoary robin
Nice, did not corrupt my save.
signal venture
what did you do?
uncut harness
I know, but non-experimental doesn’t have that feature yet.
mighty rampart
should be in a day or so now
the latest experimental has now fixed almost all the bugs you can get from starbirth mission
hoary robin
Landed on the anomaly/nexus, swapped over to experimental, upgraded all my organs, quicksaved, swapped back to normal.
uncut harness
I hope so. I’m sitting on a butt-ton of Nanites waiting for it.
mighty rampart
only thing they're still not addressing is letting you restart the quest if you lose the active void egg
uncut harness
I’m also hoping the ships don’t change colors again.
It’d be a real shame if I had to go hunting for a perfect specimen again.
uncut harness
I think he hates it more that you spell his name wrong.

Haha Sohail, totally unintentional, my brain is far too frazzled for making jokes rn!
Scotty, im on ps4, there was just one one each grave for me. How strange.

there were more than three groups of stations out there, so maybe there aren't just three set grave locations?
IDK, either way it was annoying

I can’t get a single s class mod 
restive ore
There she is, finally!!@
Now I just have to work out how to upgrade her. But that will have to wait, I have adulting to do 
jovial stag
@dire pawn My guess is there are about 15 or more locations and the game picks a random 3 of them to send you to
dire pawn
That would make sense
Frankly, at this point I'm just glad I have the ship and don't have to worry about navigating to very specific coordinates anymore
jovial stag
oh! no doubt they'll come up with something else to get you worrying again about planetary coordinates ... 😉
@restive ore Nice this is my other one
so I have 1 white and 1 black

Oooooh thats nice!
Im not sure I will gp for another one though, cant take the stress hahha

Don't have to do the mission again
Just get the egg and pay 10k nanites for the second/third etc
You can refuse what it spawns as well, and get the egg back to try again
jovial stag
@uncut harness if you're not in the ship you wish to exchange for the living ship then after you land at the fallen host site just summon the ship you wish to exchange it should auto make it your active ship then just swap them...

ok
I dont think that falls into spoiler though
it is just a piece of info people should know

How many base variations of the living ships are there?
There's at least 5 cockpits (Short round, long round, long round /w 'mouth', horned, horned w/ crest plate), there seems to be at least 2 maybe 3 side plates, 2 or 3 lower plates, 1 or 2 'ridge' plates, 2 engine styles I think, and any combination of side, rigde or lower plates can be missing from a ship leaving a space in the plate layout.

What makes beans (or anything else in this game, really) alien?

Horned? I've seen the crest plates looking like horned ones but which ones classed as horned?

I think the fact you raised it yourself adds a certain degree of attachment.
Personally I'm happy to have discovered that fully upgraded, they are even more efficient surface hoppers than science ships (Both having cheaper launch costs, and using cheaper launch fuel if you can't wait for it to recharge on it's own). The fact they are also solid ships all round and kinda cool and personal is an added bonus.

I wonder if the face part effects your view in the cockpit
I don't imagine it will
But

I think you need to relearn some words bro
Y'all prefer hovering ones or landing "leg" ones
icy citrus
Yes

Lol
prime spade
Science/explorer ships have an innate 100% launch cost reduction (They cost half as much fuel to launch as other ship classes, allowing you to hop around exploring a planet efficienctly)
Each S-class neural upgrade reduces launch cost by 20%, and since you can have upgrades in both the organ sac and storage sac, that means you could stack up to a 120% cost reduction. plus the neural system consumes mordite/oxygen to launch the ship, rather than uranium/launch fuel, so the actual fuel is cheaper. Plus having at least 1 S class upgrade also gives the living ship fuel regeneration.
violet narwhal
100% reduction would mean no cost at all... 50%?
frail gust
I can't find any upgrades for mine
frail gust
I've been going to random places and pulsing like a mad one
icy citrus
Ship and suit anyways
prime spade
Yes, like a conventional ship.
frail gust

icy citrus
This is a server for a game that includes children
frail gust
I don't think he means the whole internet, just here
icy citrus
Not the wide open internet
prime spade
@violet narwhal On paper yes but I'm pretty sure it doesn't totally negate the launch cost. I might be wrong I don't have a full set of S Class upgrades - I've seen other games that use the same math where a description of '100%' is actually 'Half the cost' and 200% becomes '1/4 the cost' it's due to how the actual multipiers are poorly expressed.
icy citrus
I'm not offended by anything you could possibly say or post
Just giving you a friendly heads up
frail gust
^ but right time right place
uncut harness
just to clarify, living ship upgrades are comming to console soon right?
icy citrus
Upgrades are already there
frail gust
Hopefully
violet narwhal
Well, if other games use broken descriptions doesn't mean you should here...
uncut harness
storage and class
prime spade
@violet narwhal Except that NMS itself is using said broken descriptions
frail gust
That's not even in experimental yet
violet narwhal
Oh?
icy citrus
No storage upgrades as of yet
frail gust
The storage thing
uncut harness
dang
frail gust
But when it comes to console you can bet your bottom I'll be grinding the heck outta it
prime spade
@violet narwhal For exmaple S-class warp and singularity upgrades say they 'reduce warp cell fuel cost 100%' but in reality they halve fuel consumption
frail gust
Max storage is the only thing these bad boys are missing
violet narwhal
Ugh.
icy citrus
You have 48 slots in general and cargo- ships slots don't matter to me any more
frail gust
You may have
icy citrus
Besides having enough to max some weapons
icy citrus
Not forever
brittle kelp
48 in general and 22 cargo
uncut harness
I have 48 genetal and 16 cargo rn
icy citrus
Sounds like you have it down already
brittle kelp
Those are rookie numbers
prime spade
@frail gust bonus respect if those are VR hours :p
uncut harness
never played nms vr yet
frail gust
Well only in the ships
brittle kelp
I’ve always wanted to try the game in vr but I don’t have a headset and I don’t have friends
frail gust
I have psvr I'm hoping the psvr2 headset will be a bit better
uncut harness
a psvr2 huh?
prime spade
That is my ONE disappointment about the living ships. One of the most immersive parts of NMS in VR is being able to look all around you out the canopy and see space, planets, other ships in a dogfight etc.
but Living ships have a really constrained cockpit that has no canopy above. It's like sitting in a freelancer in Star Citizen :p
frail gust
Aight back to work :'( bye yall
uncut harness
@prime spade I can't hardly fly in first person, feels like you have horse blinders on
what's up with the anomalous number stations
prime spade
In VR you can keep your eyes on the target at all times, which compensates for the limited FoV of being in first person - but you can't do that in the living ships, which is frustrating and obviously VR has no 3rd person mode:
(Quick video I recorded a while back that illustrates how different the view is in VR/how you use that freedom of looking)

What if anything can I do with a "Living Metalloid" (Live Ship release) space artifact?
violet narwhal
Sell it, if it's what I think.
prime spade
Never heard of it. Got a screenshot? - Sounds like valuable junk to sell.
Unless it has an upgrade icon in which case is it some kind of living ship upgrade? Where'd it come from/.
lunar surge
Didn't know I could pick it up.
placid latch
@uncut harness there are already upgrades, you’ll find them as void eggs in space when you’re pulse driving. Shoot them and you’ll get a random upgrade.

Anyone found a semi reliable way to encourage upgrade encounters? I’ve heard red system with no faction but this isn’t confirmed.

Oh, wow. TIL living ships are immune to black hole component damage D:
This changes everything

mighty rampart
in the end its all up to you how you wanna do it
prime spade
Yeah I got a few upgrades that way to make the ship more comfortable to use but gonna wait til i get the rest of my upgrades via random chance.
mighty rampart
I'm not actively looking for them, I just play like I normally do and running across one of these obtuse ovarian products is a fun bonus
jovial stag
@weak pawn warp distance of living ship? if so mine are 603.6 and 582.6 with B and C upgrades
prime spade
Pretty sure their absolute cap is a little less than a conventional exotic or science explorer on account of not having chromatic drive extensions to give adjacency bonuses to the core upgrades. But on the flipside you can exploit blackholes without fear of system damage allowing you to get a substantially further coreward for free by ending your jump on a black hole system, or to navigate via the black hole system to a cluster of stars you're trying tor each
mighty rampart
living ship's absolute cap are the same as an exotic for damage and warp
jovial stag
@weak pawn for the moment yes... but once there are S upgrades for all the modules then things will get interesting.
lunar surge
Living Metalloid
mighty rampart
shoot to kill
prime spade
@mighty rampart Yes, but the actual components you install have similar LY gains per upgrade. Remember the final value is a combination of upgrade stats, ship multiplier, and adjacency bonuses
The reaosn living ships on paper should come out slightly lower is because there are no chromatic upgrades for living ships, which means there is less potential adjacency bonuses
prime spade
Yus
mighty rampart
yep then what u said is 100%
lunar surge
Yep, shot it and I got a S class shield module.
mighty rampart
living ships will have the advantage of less launch thruster use per push when upgraded

Are Paradise and Tropical planets only found in Yellow systems?

No

Ok cool thanks which one has the best chance of finding one?

I figured the higher tier systems would be where the npcs and all the good stuff would be. I mean what's the point other than indium then?

Alright thanks guess I'll get my indium drive and then hop around yellows in search of a decent planet to live on.

Wonder what I do with a "Secret Listening Post"?

@prime spade I’m more than happy to cheat RNG. I didn’t hear him mention what galaxy he was in, where were you, Euclid I presume?

Secret Listening Post
icy citrus
Don't tell, it is a secret
lunar surge
twilit ocean
That’s like a giant space voodoo rocket
twilit ocean
Yeah I realize that now
lunar surge
Yeah not so secret if it contacted me.
lunar surge
I hate to shoot it, but I probably will once I land and come back.
Is there a way to put a custom marker in space?
gusty stream
Not that I know of
lunar surge
Darn, should have dropped the anomaly near it. That would have done it. Now I can't find it again.
Found another one. I'm on a role!
fathom notch
bruh void egg be like * portal glyphs*
gusty stream
I'm pretty sure they dissapear when you warp away
quiet horizon
Shit, it's the Galactic Nova from Kirby
gusty stream
Wait lemme just
quiet horizon
Wait we thought the same thing, huh
gilded knot
asking for clarification, so when you get your living ship, in order to get upgrades, you gotta just fly around in systems and hope for encounters?
gusty stream
dunno if this is allowed but lemme just
gilded knot
ah! it's those things that give upgrades. ok thank you
gilded knot
so you end up finding eggs in space too?
icy citrus
Big ones that you shoot
quiet horizon
These eggs are different
gilded knot
ah ok
quiet horizon
If I'm correct, they're bigger and, yeah, you shoot them
gilded knot
yo i find these destroyed freighters, do they serve any purpose?
the destroyed ones in space, not on the ground lol
quiet horizon
Unfortunately, I think they're only there to look pretty
mighty rampart
you can now access cargo boxes in destroyed freighters
at least that's what the new patch notes say
I'm yet to test it
gusty stream
That's on Experimental PC
quiet horizon
Oh, yay
mighty rampart
I'm assuming you just carefully fly near it and you get the option to open it, just like you do on land crashed freighters
mighty rampart
let's see
uncut harness
I can't leave Axentha Sigma
The portal just redirects me back to the planet instead of where i came from
gilded knot
yay i found an egg, now can i find more than one in a system? or once you find one, just move on to another?
icy citrus
You can find more than one
gilded knot
niiiiice
uncut harness
hey guys why my void egg not resonating? i did these codes twice and when i went throught the portal its said not resonating void egg
i checked the forms from this site
its bugged?
gilded knot
you have to be in the Euclid system
prime spade
@placid latch Yeah those co-ords are for Euclid
uncut harness
euclid?
gilded knot
go to nexus, go to the big ass portal, and i believe the 2nd one outta the 3 featured ones will take you there
uncut harness
and i need to find a portal again?
uncut harness
how i go to euclid
gilded knot
go to nexus, go to the big ass portal, and i believe the 2nd one outta the 3 featured ones will take you there
uncut harness
so i go to station first
uncut harness
nexus is in anomaly?
gilded knot
yes.
uncut harness
i do a quest?
gilded knot
then tabs will appear when you click the big ass portal. look for "featured" and i believe the 2nd one will take you to Euclid
gilded knot
ya
violet narwhal
*teleporter
uncut harness
i cant find euclid system
gilded knot
go to the 2nd featured place
uncut harness
i check
gilded knot
it wont say it
uncut harness
i go to recent?
gilded knot
f.e.a.t.u.r.e.d
gilded knot
there ya go. go to the 2nd one
gilded knot
we all need help time to time. when you get there, leave the place, open your map, and where it says the the distance to the core, look right above that and in () it should say Euclid.
uncut harness
i go fly to space?
gilded knot
yes
uncut harness
ok i try
gilded knot
and i recommend you have your exocraft's scanner fully upgraded to find portals faster
uncut harness
oh galaxy?

yes
uncut harness

Address should work
supple relic
When you find a portal, you should probably drop a base computer there. You may end up needing a Euclid portal again in the future, and it will save you time.
lunar surge
So I have the Void Egg, the Neural Stem, the Heart and am waiting for the Shell to mature. How many more parts do I need for the Living Ship? At what point do I need to scum save so I can try different ship variations?
supple relic
You still need the Singularity core
supple relic
Yeah :(
jovial stag
@lunar surge oh! long time waiting... 😉
steep violet
could always skip time
prime spade
Singularity Core is the last 24 hour window. The one after that (Where you take the portal) is the final step and you are rewarded with your ship at the end of that quest.
supple relic
Changing the system clock is the path to game advancements that some consider... unnatural.
lunar surge
So the core is right after the shell I take it?
prime spade
Yeah
quaint raft
Im also having a void egg problem: friend donated me an egg, i warped around a lot. No message or popup quest, and now egg is active with no quest
lunar surge
I don't need the Living Ship that bad. I'll wait.
prime spade
To me it also feels more satisyfing and 'real' if you don't exploit and actually do the legwork to get a given reward. Cheating and taking shortcuts dilutes the experience for me.
steep violet
im usually the same. when the game doesnt have 24 hour timers xD
lunar surge
@quaint raft what galaxy are you in? You must be in Euclid I think.
supple relic
I was plenty satisfied by skipping the time gates. 😁 The coordinate hunting was very frustrating for me.
quaint raft
I believe im in euclid (ive only been playing about 2 days)
mighty rampart
well in the end all that matters is how you want to play the game
icy citrus
I don't think it is going to work for you, if you aren't the one that activated it
Need to start with a normal egg
icy citrus
And if you have only played 2 days, likely you won't be able to do the last step
Gonna need glyphs
quaint raft
@icy citrus i thought i did activate it, but im not sure. Lol
Yup. Dont know what glyphs are yet. Don't even have exocrafts yet
violet narwhal
Could just join someone else who's already there?
supple relic
I feel like my fishie likes cold and hot planets, and strongly dislikes highly radioactive planets.
jovial stag
Portals
Asking someone to charge a portal for you will not work, you must charge it yourself
Asking someone to use a portal to visit a specific system so you can join them there, will also not work you'll be placed in the system the portal user left from
uncut harness
what should i choose here to not ruin it:s
icy citrus
Need the clue beforehand usually, but wait
uncut harness
wait? i can try
icy citrus
If you are wrong, reload the autosave
icy citrus
Doubt it, I haven't tried in a year or more though
You have an autosave from landing and hopping out
supple relic
@uncut harness after you do whatever, click again and choose "Locate Portal". You will need a species token to activate (casing, dagger, or relic)
icy citrus
The first part is the clue needed
supple relic
It usually doesn't matter, the second time you click it will offer to locate a portal.
jovial stag
you need to interact with the monolith twice once to answer a question, get the answer correct and you then interact with it again but this time you choose the option to locate a Portal... However, you need to have on you the token for the race who's system you're in as @supple relic mentioned... give the monolith that token and you'll be shown where a portal it
frail gust
Yeah I did that too lol
I made a base on the one they show you in the artemis quests
It worked for the starbirth quest so I'm happy lol
supple relic
Yeah I forgot you need to answer correctly, I don't remember the last time I answered incorrectly!
supple relic
I've got almost 1000 hours played so I've talked to a lot of monoliths 😁
frail gust
Wowsers
I have 60hours but I've only played for 5 days
And most of the was just grinding units and doing the quests
supple relic
I started in 2016 so I have a bit of a head start 🙂
Still plenty to learn though, there's always new stuff to see
crystal wagon
If i need help with something bout the starbirth quest should i put it here or just at help
quiet raft
right someone gifted me a void egg can someone tell me what i need to do with it
crystal wagon
Just pulse a few min and you will get a call, exit pulse and awnser
supple relic
You can ask here
crystal wagon
Ok so i got the starbirth mission and im at the coords part now, but nothing seems to happen, im basicly at the coords i should be but nothings happening, no buildings or anything, help?
supple relic
Are you on foot?
crystal wagon
Yup
quiet raft
cheers dude went to the anomaly space station and someone sent me an egg idk if it was delibrate or not but idc
supple relic
You'll want to land, hop out, and the coordinates should resolve further. Make sure you're at the right +/- axes
gusty stream
Go to the exact-super precise coords and it may be refined into the actual location
Its really difficult ik
supple relic
Then look for a nearby building marker, what you're looking for resembles an alien plaque location
supple relic
You'll be able to see the coordinates in visor mode
jovial stag
@quiet raft yes its normal and as long as the Egg is not active it'll be fine
quiet raft
ive just did the pulse and need to go to specific cords
jovial stag
OK do you have all the Glyphs?
quiet raft
nope
crystal wagon
Is it correct that in the visor the coords are both +? (Like +26.000/+119.00)
jovial stag
nope + and -
supple relic
Yes that's fine
supple relic
They can both be positive if they match what the quest is showing
jovial stag
get the visor coords to match the coords given in the lower right message and when you get close the +26.??? will change to +26.2?? for example
crystal wagon
Okie
midnight pulsar
how can i speed up the incubation process again? i was told to just change my system time and relaunch the game but it doesnt seem to have worked
supple relic
Go into offline mode in Steam
jovial stag
@quiet raft just an FYI you will require the 16 (well at least 12 of them) Glyphs in order to do the last part of the Egg quest... so you have 2 ways to get them find 16 travellers and pay them 100 nanites each or complete the Artemis quest line... choice is yours 😉
mighty rampart
keep moving in positive direction, it will refine
crystal wagon
Ok, ill try that
mighty rampart
look for an "unknown building" in your visor
crystal wagon
Yet both say +
burnt jasper
Will an exocrafts scanners show crashed ships as well?
mighty rampart
oh lol I didnt even notice that

it seems like the void egg's upgrade differs from each solar system

@lunar surge awesome thanks
crystal wagon
Well how tf do i get to those coords if i dont see them XD
jovial stag
other side of the planet
crystal wagon
Ow well shit
icy citrus
You did it right, just not to the right coordinates
mighty rampart
you are at +119, you were supposed to be at -119
crystal wagon
Ow jesus
mighty rampart
just go exactly east as possible, if you mess up the north/south that's easier to correct
jovial stag
if you fly high but not quite in space you can go 1 or 2000 u/s
crystal wagon
Ill just use a base as a marker
lunar surge
@crystal wagon point toward the east or the west then pulse out of the atmosphere, point at the edge of the planet and pulse back down. Might have to do that a couple times. Or do what @jovial stag said.
