a few ppls been saying the system affects the ship style or something .. been "experimenting" a bit 
#nms-spoilers
pearl oxide
ye, portals r screwy .. I use them as little as possible
icy citrus
They are wrong
silk garden
It happened to me a couple times that when there's a Torrid planet in system a ship will spawn with Red glowing stripes.
icy citrus
They may be getting confused with the color of the atmosphere drastically changing what a ship looks like
All those ships are from the same planet
pearl oxide
ye .. like that .. colors and such
icy citrus
That doesn't affect what the ship actually looks like though, just how you see it
pearl oxide
I got a reddish one from a red sys, and a bluish one from blue
pearl oxide
icy citrus
And planet
silk garden
I think after searching so many systems you start to hope for a system but imho it's totally rng
icy citrus
I did this for a good 2 hours, and I have tried other systems as well - same outcome, the seed is random and not dependent on system influence imo
pearl oxide
nice science 
icy citrus
We need someone to examine the files and verify, but it seems random to me
pearl oxide
they do change over time tho, right? .. can u confirm?
silk garden
Rng is sience too, in a certain point of view
icy citrus
The ship you get doesn't change, but you can see many different ships with the same egg
I mean to say, once you actually claim one, that is what it always looks like
silk garden
Well, I'll just keep searching for that nice Hammerhead variant
pearl oxide
seems like the colors change a bit over time .. and the antennas get longer, etc .. mebee just my imagination 
vague badge
pearl oxide
I'm doing more experiments in that regard

Does the location for a Living Ship change when you do the reload trickery, or always same spot again a next time?
pearl oxide
vague badge
My home planet too
vague badge
I had over 30 reloads, but most of them were an ugly yellow
icy citrus
I was seeing around 7-10 different locations on the same planet - I didn't do coordinates so it is hard to say accurately how many spots it uses
vague badge
I was in a system with only 1 planet :P @icy citrus
outer cobalt
Asking because the video I saw, implies that the seed for LS is tied to the crash location, not specifically system or planet, but the site you get it at
vague badge
๐คฎ
icy citrus
silk garden
Thanks for your answers, gtg now.
icy citrus
I suppose it could be like that, but then wouldn't each of the sites show the same ship?
Per their seed?
Or is like a pool ?
outer cobalt
Well, that is basically what is being said. Ship is the same for someone else at that same site it is found
pearl oxide
icy citrus
That is with multiplayer on, yes? That could be a holdover of the crashed ship locations they use
outer cobalt
Not tested this myself, or looked for any evidence on how this works in the files. Just curious about findings for those who scummed
icy citrus
Unless the seed took me to 40 different crash sites - I saw a different ship each time from the same planet
vague badge
I had 2 at a same crash sight
It was yellow, and looked similar to this
The second one looked like a hammerhead, but it was yellow and nasty
pearl oxide
ima just start killing these space traders .. so annoying - like door-to-door salesman .. I don't want a vacuum cleaner ๐ก
pearl oxide
ye .. i been doing both inhabited and not .. i have a "system" of sorts
I didn't realize u could save scum upgrades tho .. I found one system with 3 upgrades 
outer cobalt
It appears to be tied to time and a cycle. Save/reload just appears to reset the cycle, so you get them again
pearl oxide
right
so they put cargo pods at derelict freighters and pirates that annoy u .. still useless (maybe more so) 
mighty rampart
In that case all crashed freighters are useless
pearl oxide
I'm not gonna disagree 
mighty rampart
All points of interest are useless
outer cobalt
All we need is the UI and the shop, watching our Units/Nanites/QS go up and shop as much as we please
mighty rampart
HG: adds cool points of interest
Players: wow it's useless
HG: adds things as loot for these points of interest
Players: wow even more useless
HG: 
outer cobalt
Maybe HG needs to turn it into some sort of cookie clicker, just to keep us busy?
pearl oxide
nah .. the frighters r dumb imo .. traders r annoying .. the rest is cool
lunar surge
I'm doing the star birth / living ship quest on a new save and I heard that setting the system time back an hour or so or forward 24 hours or so will complete the maturation time of the living ship parts. Is that still true with the last update?
autumn apex
Should be the same
As long as you're not connected to the internet the game will recognize it as 24 hours according to your systems clock
uncut harness
yeah disconnect from internet and change system time
autumn apex
Side effect of also being a singleplayer game
๐
So for Living Ship help we go here?
uncut harness
i would go to #nms-questions
prime spade
This is probably the right palce for living ship help. Being the latest content discussing the details are spoilers. Though you could also use spoiler tags in help
vague badge
To discuss the lore, questline, etc I'd post here
lunar surge
FYI, I tried the setting the time back for maturing a living ship component (like some say works) and it didn't work for me. Setting the time to one day in the future does work however. Plus it's more intuitive. Also, you don't have to disconnect your internet. You can instead just deactivate automatic update of the time and date on the same dialog in which you set the time.
lunar surge
do the suck?
lunar surge
Sucks you in? What happens when it does that?
midnight pulsar
nothing, you just take damage
jade jackal
Is there an economy scanner for the living ships?
Want to make it my main ship, but im missing some stuff for it imo
lunar surge
I love this living ships update because it proves HG has much more to do in the game. They have so many things to flesh out just in this update!
prime spade
@jade jackal There is not presently no
jade jackal
Aah thats a shame, i guell ill just use a normal ship for now

Clearly slot expansion and other things are coming for the living ships.

you can use monoliths to find them

its just that the starbirth quest has these encounters used to progress it

Is there a char somewhere that has what all the portal glyphs are called?
I'm on the void egg step where it's talking about a portal I think. Not sure what correlates to what though.

So i keep warping and I keep going through gates and black holes but I'm not getting progression on this egg quest
i keep hitting different anomalies, am I looking for a specific one?

I do not encounter any space "event" since I got my living spaceship via the starbirth quest, does that happen to anyone as well ? Like I can just pulse for hours and nothing happens

Living ships and stuff pops up in Pulse Jump

It is, cuz there was only that update and a patch
That lets you shove nanites into LS upgrades and cargo pods at freighter wrecks

@quasi niche that's my fav appearance if you add the ridged dorsal and different color scheme ๐ I screwed up an accepted a ship with the wrong wing panels ๐ฆ but still looks dope

I should test that. Ran enough resets on this planet.. lol
autumn apex
@sly bobcat that ship looks badass

sly bobcat
same dude. saaame. Have confirmed a couple things: Ships are never spawned in systems without a space station (derelict or otherwise). And (obviously) never on planets that don't naturally spawn structures
autumn apex
Hella susp
sly bobcat
Real endgame is rolling the ship you want with the stats you want. But I'm like 99.9999% certain the ship parts dictate the base stats.
autumn apex
The second part is fine tho. Planets that don't spawn structures are extremely hazardous to normal life

It's not my favorite but it has highest base damage I've rolled so far. Would be interested to see what other people have rolled for same design. Lil skimmer feets with the croissant wings, flat dorsal with the double antennae and a shaved unibrow

I've rolled a 300 on damage before, can't pull the rest becuse that was resets upon resets ago.

I had 4 glyphs when I started doing the jumps to the galactic core for all the glyphs. Mission update text is only showing the ones from the jumps. Is this a bug, or do I need to jump 16 times to get the ones I should already have?

@sly bobcat don't worry we already have the stats figured out: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Starship#Living_Ship_-_Large_Tech_Inventory_.2F_Low_Shields
autumn apex
So anyone have an idea why it appears the corruption in the Simulation as Atlas dies appears purely biological in nature?
autumn apex
I mean the corruption in the abandoned buildings
The ones with logs mentioning either something that shouldn't exist or sentinels be slapping peeps
The biological mass that flourish in buildings where people don't live
karmic skiff
Oh. I just thought those were the people
autumn apex
๐ค
Wouldn't that mean something corrupted their data? Or maybe the Atlas is a sicko
Who knows
karmic skiff
I mean the whole thing runs like a horror movie anyways. I figured it was the nanites in stuff like the Gek dying/mutating
autumn apex
It could but those logs still like their unnatural jazz
vague badge
I believe the biological horrors are more linked to a lovecraftian sort
autumn apex
The Atlas is dying cuz it got infected by Cthulhu
vague badge
So unless HG changes their mind, I don't think we will ever be 100% sure
Lovecraftian as in, there's no explanation on purpose
What I meant to say
autumn apex
Well they appear on Dead Planets and abandoned buildings ๐ค
And the abandoned buildings have logs telling of unnatural worlds and phenomenon
And red orbs
And being watched by a entity ๐ค
I think there was watching involved
I know for sure a Red Orb was mentioned at least once
I wish there was something that kept track of lore for you :FeelsBadMan:

Oh good...someone built a base right on top of the last step of the egg quest
sly bobcat
@ivory crown Oh yeah I'd seen that one. Just wondering if there's any easy way to figure out what the base is so you can figure out the rest.
autumn apex
Someone built a base on top of a Traveler soul?
ivory crown
@sly bobcat the base stats at 0% is recorded too
or you can visor a C class shuttle, which is always 0% everything
sly bobcat
Ooooh. tytyty

@autumn apex The "corruption" in buildings and biological horrors are all korvax prime creations
autumn apex
Ewwwwww
Korvax getting kinky with life again
What if the Korvax are the reason Atlas dying
autumn apex
I know
Twas just a jest
I mean if I remember right the Travelers are corrupted versions of it's brain scan of the creator
But that might be wrong cuz I read the corrupted part from the wiki

Trying to see if I can take the space station portal there

I'm guessing it's Schel-Althu <something> or <something> Schel-Althu. ๐ But of course it couldn't be that easy.
sly bobcat
I really have no brain for these things lol. I feel like I'm missing something to help me understand. ๐ฆ Like, the base and the bonus and whatnot. Generally just going in with a "big number win game" mentality lol
mighty rampart
core is the "base" stat, if the base is unchanged then they dont show it
all ships will always have more damage potential than their base, because the main weapon modules count as an upgrade

Is there a new kind of black hole in the living ships release that is still called a black hole? It kind of showed up out of the blue for me in a system which shouldn't have one.
sly bobcat
Yeah there's a random anomaly encounter that's a form of a black hole but it travels farther.
lunar surge
Does it do damage?
sly bobcat
nope.
autumn apex
Imagine having a normal black hole damage you ๐
sly bobcat
Does it? idk
lunar surge
Yes a normal one damages your ship.
@autumn apex were you being dirty and I didn't get it?
lunar surge
If call my freighter near the black hole and go in to change ships, will this special black hole disappear?
sly bobcat
Hmmm... I'd assume that it disappears once out of render
fossil hearth
sadly there is no space station with that name on my list :<
Ischel-Althu (the system where the egg is found... for that living ship mission, if anyone is there can you give me the name of the station so I can take a space station portal there?)
sly bobcat
@fossil hearth does the glyph pattern for a portal from the quest work?
fossil hearth
yes
sly bobcat
idr if that takes you there/close. sorry
fossil hearth
Well I mean I know I can do that
But Im not sure if there's a staiton there or near there
ornate ginkgo
have any of you had trouble filling the soul chamber on starbirth. im at the cooredinates the egg is saying to go to.. and nothing.. nothing here
lunar surge
@fossil hearth Did you perhaps not visit the station when you were in the Schel-Althu system? It's too bad you can't find a system by name, but then again you might find hundreds if they could even write an efficient enough search algorithm for it (big if).
autumn apex
@ornate ginkgo Are you looking for a Traveler's Grave?
ornate ginkgo
yeah
i just watched a video of a guy doing it, and you can see a marker for a travelers grave in his video.. im not gettin git
no graves in my visor
well.. the graves are there.. and i can interact. i used that video for landmarks.. and by figuring out exactly where the guy in the video was.. i was able to find the first one.. .. kinda bs really
welp, the second one had a nav marker.. so i think im okay now
fossil hearth
I went and tried taking a portal back there. I then went to the station
After that, I went back through the portal to my own station... no dice on letting me go from one station back to that
It was called Schel-Althu hub. And it wasn't on my list of stations ๐
Baring that, does anyone have a base in Schel Althu? o,O
ornate ginkgo
the void egg mission i was just on was at ischel althu.. starts with an I.. cant be the same, but 1 letter off?
lots of bases at that planet
twilit ocean
Imagine before long that entire void egg planet will be colonized on every platform
ornate ginkgo
there was at least a dozen base nav markers on that planet.. kinda nutty
so now im trying to do the duplication glitch thing to shop for a different ship.. have you guys tried that? i keep getting the same ship
autumn apex
I think that trick only works on Void eggs after the first one ๐ค
Unless you're trying to duplicate your first Void Egg
ornate ginkgo
theres a video by professor cynical that shows how to basically keep getting living ships.. or shop for one you like more
thats what im trying to do
meh, i restored a manual save.. ill deal with this tomorrow.
autumn apex
๐ค
Wait so rejecting the Living Ship after the first time refunds the Void Egg?
Or is that part of the glitch
ornate ginkgo
im not familiar with the duplication glitch, but i think it happens if you do not leave the ship, so that you still have the autosave from leaving your own ship to arrive at that location.. and then once you get in the living ship, you go straight to the anomaly, and once inside transfer something to another player.. like some indium or something.. then immediately restore from autosave and you find yourself back at the same spot where you got out of your ship
and the living ship you got is there again, but you turn around, and your ship is the living ship you got before you restored from save
so now, you "already" have one, and you can get another.. and your items were refunded as well
autumn apex
Seems strange though that rejecting the Living Ship also refunds the Void egg if the glitch extends that far ๐ค
Eh either way I have until Saturday before I gain enough Quicksilver to buy a new egg.
Then after that I get to wait another 8 days so I can finally buy that chestpiece

@ivory crown I agree with you on the fact that people complain too much about games.
Itโs annoying or rather it just makes it look like theyโre being disrespectful to the work put into the game.
A game is supposed to be a leisure activity, if you donโt enjoy it then why the heck are you playing it.
@uncut harness and as far as soul trapping, I think the story was mainly towards you take their energy for the energy to power the ship.
Because theyโre already dead.

I said I wonder whose idea it was to add soul trapping nobody replied someone who expected the players to be able to actually read coordinates I said I can read cords. cords werent my point when I talked about souls basically
since you dc to read only the most recent messages
that is the beginning of the convo
autumn apex
Can you trap the souls without coordinates?
twilit ocean
I went up and read those,
autumn apex
Nobody was right, the people who came up with that objective did so on the assumption people can read the coordinates and knew that their inside your ship in first person mode

You also forget the fact that you instigated the argument instead of replying something more like โThatโs cool, but I meant why did they add this story-relatedโ

autumn apex
Travelers are copies
uncut harness
in that sense
twilit ocean
So we take the working parts
autumn apex
The graves are dead
twilit ocean
And make a new one.
autumn apex
Partial echoes of their existence
twilit ocean
Like a machine
uncut harness
ok in the rl souls are a creation
in game
souls are a creation
does it matter if it gets trapped no matter the plain or form
twilit ocean
So what was your actual question then
autumn apex
Umm it does when the intent of the simulation is to simulate reality
uncut harness
except
autumn apex
The only reason the Travelers know it's a simulation is because Atlas is dying and used them to put off their death
uncut harness
this isnt like humans creating a vast universe and creating a sim traveller to explore all
this is one entity
creating all things
so not rlly diff
autumn apex
The Atlas was created, you know that right?
uncut harness
look
ivory crown
it never says atlas created a perfect replica of how the world works
autumn apex
The Atlas is essentially a super computer formed to simulate the universe. In fact the Atlas has been replaced and abandoned
uncut harness
in fiction in the setting it is like a diff world typically you dont implicate true life reality of creation to the story it self
autumn apex
Because they made a superior version
uncut harness
only in some rare cases are fictional stories made
twilit ocean
Wait where does it say they made a superior version?
uncut harness
to implicate rl life as their creator
twilit ocean
It just shows they abandoned it
autumn apex
When the Creator left the Atlas t mentioned it was because as the way of machines the Atlas helped them make a superior version and more portable
uncut harness
I thought the atlas was the creator
twilit ocean
The Atlas is a machine created by another creator.
autumn apex
These lore entries are found via the remembrance terminals found behind Atlas pass foors
autumn apex
It details the beginning and his end
twilit ocean
Universe within a universe within a universe
I really should read the lore again someday
I forget it so easily
I suppose thatโs normal but still.
autumn apex
Yeah the terminals are literally a simulation of the Atlas being created, abandoned, and when it started dying, and what the Travelers were created from
The Atlas is essentially the Intelligence/Supercomputer running and maintaining the Simulation. But as it's dying it's losing the ability to maintain and control the simulation
Thus the Anomaly and the ability for other Travelers to meet up
Though I'm unsure how much of the Anomaly is due to the Atlas dying. I just remember Nada and Polo finding it after they became divergent

if I have a void egg I raised and had a void egg in my inventory that stayed a void egg during raising
can I still use that void egg for a second living ship
or would I need to dump my eggs get a new fresh one
to begin a mission to get a new one
elfin siren
If you Void Egg is really at the initial stage (not progressed at all), you can pulse and encounter a living ship that gives you coords for a crashed living ship in the current system
That is how I got my 2nd LS from a Void Egg that someone gave me in the Space Anomaly
I kept refusing the 2nd ship until I found one with a hammerhead
It costs 10k nanites but you can farm nanites by buying/scrapping the better ships (S, A, or at least B) in a space station and selling the upgrades to the ship upgrade vendor for nanites
sly bobcat
Footnote* As long as it's labeled as a regular Void Egg with the default text, it's good to pulse.
Nanites can also be acquired from exploring and checking the nanite fictures found on walls in some structures, little "encrypted navigation data" devices randomly in specific structures on planets and in space stations as well as in the spare rooms of space stations. So if you don't care for missions, exploration of planets and star systems yields a healthy amount imo.
midnight pulsar
are the living ships always S class? I would assume so
hoary robin
Yes, they are Feanux
quick ferry
Here is where I am, and here are my egg coordinates. Should there be a building here?
candid vortex
@quick ferry you're still a ways away, keep narrowing down your coordinates. You should see an alien plaque when you're right on top of it.
quick ferry
Thanks. I'll try to be more precise.

How do you feel about those souls, begging to be left alone?
uncut harness
i mean its all a simulation anyway lul
sly bobcat
Apparently, (at least after the first one) you can encounter space eggs while pulsing for the host of your next egg. Was always under the impression the Host encounter forced priority over any other anomaly encounter if you had an egg.
sleek badge
so i found the final portal in the purge, but i still havent finished the atlas path, can i still continue with the atlas path after i finish the purge? or should i finish the path first?
autumn apex
@elfin siren so refusing the LS refunds the egg?
sly bobcat
@autumn apex after the first one yes.
ornate ginkgo
have any of you guys had any luck attempting to pick a different living ship via duplication or reloading a save from before you cracked open the egg?
ornate ginkgo
you duplicate the ship. ive done it multiple times now
you can keep grabbing the same ship, or .. you can shop for a different one.. but apparently, not everyone gets a different ship.. its always the same one for me
so.. again.. has any of you guys had any experience or luck with this?
ornate ginkgo
okay, i gues you havent had any experience with it either lol
im not asking if its possible.. it is
im doing it
autumn apex
I'm not saying it's impossible
ornate ginkgo
i have a more involved method of shopping.. more manual.. im just reloading a save from before i crack the egg, and im finding different ships.. but theres more steps to this way
autumn apex
I know
ornate ginkgo
i just want to see if someone got the duplication glitch method working where they go back and find a different ship.. for me its always the same one.. unless.. hmm have an idea
nope.. that didnt do it either..
proven ridge
That's a bummer to hear. I spent an hour re cracking that egg to get one I liked.
While I don't plan on doing it again any time soon I would have really hated being stuck with my first one after all that.. it was ugly
twilit ocean
@ornate ginkgo I can explain whatโs happening.
As far as I know colors are based on a living ship pool of colors & additional appearance/color pool is based on the crashed ship variant.
You can get a different ship when there are multiple crashed ship locations on a planet, and if you want to target that planet directly land on a planet exactly opposite from it usually about one minute away.
Place a save point and save, then go and trigger the transmission and fly up looking for the location. This is how I got my first ship.
elfin siren
@autumn apex Yes, if you refuse the crashed Living Ship, you get your egg back

Are the Living Ships not supposed to take damage from black holes? Becuse mine did and repairing this shit is uhhh a pain in the ass,
autumn apex
Every ship takes damage from black holes
Just move your tech into its organ chambers
autumn apex
Thats cuz your tech inventory has enough room to shove all dat tech in.
Just shove it in, bam its immune

Is there a way to finish living ship without glyphs?
autumn apex
Nope
ebon magnet
So if I want a portal, talk to the cartographer?
autumn apex
Yeah, they'll give you charts, the alien ruins chart will bring you to a monolith maybe and you ask dat monolith
ebon magnet
Wait I can't just find a portal
autumn apex
Be sure to have the species relic
sly bobcat
with navigation data if you wanna get specific ones "ancient structures" or something. purple text.
ebon magnet
You have to have the portal glyphs
autumn apex
You can find a portal but this method gives you waypoints
Yeah, you need dem sexy glyphs
sly bobcat
mmmmmmmmmmmm glyphs
ebon magnet
I haven't even heard of fucking portal glyphs until now
sly bobcat
Welcome to updated NMS ๐
ebon magnet
I guess I can't do the fucking ship thing then
Because I'm missing the fucking glyphs
sly bobcat
There's a questline that gives you everything
ebon magnet
Which one
sly bobcat
Just have to sidetrack for a bit
autumn apex
Well you can do the fucking artemis path
sly bobcat
Fuck yeah
ebon magnet
I did the artemis path
autumn apex
๐
ebon magnet
It's done
autumn apex
Then you have em
ebon magnet
Well I assume I did it, since I don't have Artemis quests anymore
I have space anomaly and patterns in time
sly bobcat
cuz then you get to 16/16 or some shit. Wiki should be able to help with preqs for those
if any. But check your quest logs if you haven't. Should be something at the very top of the lists.
if it's there. If not, I'm too new myself to help further ๐ฆ
ebon magnet
Nope, don't have any quests for apollo
Just space anomaly and patterns in time
I don't even have atlas path anymore
Since I finished that
sly bobcat
what's quest descript for patterns in time
Patterns in Time is the sixth story mission of the Artemis Path, starting immediately upon the conclusion of The First Traveller. The mission tasks the player with obtaining information from the Vy'keen, Korvax and Gek concerning the state of the multiverse.
Note: If you are experiencing a bug with this mission you can mouse over the mission and hold Middle Mouse on PC or R3 on PS3 to reset it. This appears to work even when the 'Reset' button doesn't appear.
ebon magnet
Huh so I'm not done yet
ebon magnet
I mean, the quest would never progress once I got the 'speak with korvax cartographer' part
autumn apex
Oof
ebon magnet
I would talk to them and nothing would happen
sly bobcat
Its fairly quick and painless if you focus intently and have some other stuff unlocked already.
autumn apex
Isn't the Cartographer just a rando korvax ๐ค
ebon magnet
I restarted it for nearby systems
sly bobcat
good luck ๐
sly bobcat
Nothing wrong with a bit of luxery in NMS no matter what stage of the game you're in. This aint Ark ๐
ebon magnet
Ark is grindy as shit, I remember
twilit ocean
Hey whats with the transfer ship menu showing up when iโm upgrading a ship
Should I be concerned about it or is it a visual confirmation glitch?
cursive kernel
ARK is fun to fuck around in, shit to play official
twilit ocean
Seriously though does someone have the answer to that question
ebon magnet
Ark is 'try to do as much as you can before getting foundation wiped the second you go offline'
sly bobcat
Sorry I've never modified a ship with that machine other than scrapping
twilit ocean
Yeah itโs a bug
autumn apex
I assume the transfer thing in the upgrade menu is a result of it effectively changing your ship to a new one with a higher rank
mighty rampart
@twilit ocean it's a visual glitch
sly bobcat
lol
autumn apex
That's an artifact ๐
mighty rampart
Huh I thought it was patched
twilit ocean
Same
Just wanted to make sure i wasnโt do something I didnโt want since it was back.
Itโs probably back because I have a old old save
autumn apex
Yeah it's an artifact, they basically copied the menu for claiming a new ship
twilit ocean
Is there a way to auto target a custom waypoints location?
Trying to get to a specific system via waypoint.
jovial stag
In a word, No. You used to be able to see how far you were from the destination waypoint but that feature, for some "weird" reason, was removed a while go... so now you just have to follow the direction of the line and going in to free roam mode helps as you're then not limited to about 800 Ly jumps you can then jump close to the max jump range of the ship you're in and if that is either an Exotic or an Explorer then the range is going to be a lot longer than 800 Ly
twilit ocean
So basically go in the general direction and pray you make it
sly bobcat
Your waypoint path should update per jump so you get a realignment to keep you on track. But. I may be making things up
twilit ocean
@sly bobcat Can you use signal boosters to check area coordinates anymore?
That used to be a thing.
sly bobcat
no clue. I'm scrub tier ๐
twilit ocean
@jovial stag
jovial stag
area coords? if you mean galactic coords then yes but you need to be on a planet to deploy it
twilit ocean
Yeah I have the portal address
jovial stag
and following the waypoint does work the hard part comes at the end... when you have to find the destination system... it used to be nicely highlighted with the word "Destination" above it... that changed as well ๐
twilit ocean
Iโm trying to get there via warping.
jovial stag
trying to get where?
jovial stag
what platform you on?
twilit ocean
Has a S class 24 slot Raycaster
Ps4
Whatโs a good site for tracking Signal boosters then
The old one seems to be down
jovial stag
ah! so you went via portal and now you want to get there proper... yeah did the same thing for my Freighter
twilit ocean
Yeah, Iโm tempted to be doing it cause my friends need the multi tool
And all of them like the same one.
sly bobcat
You're a good friend
twilit ocean
So I figured why not, since Alien multis are a good neutral ground.
jovial stag
I'm guessing they don't have Glyphs then?
twilit ocean
Well my sister needs one too.
Yeah.
I have them, but they do not so if itโs a short distance of like 100 warps or less.
I would easily warp there in a couple hours.
jovial stag
in that case its tough... following or heading the general direction the waypoint line points in is easy... its when you get close you then have to warp carefully and look for a system with "destination" somewhere (if they have not also removed that, I know the style changed it used to be a blue box kinda thing)
what jump range?
i'll be trucking ๐
twilit ocean
@jovial stag I found a map online on their site
Turns out Iโm at least on the same side of the galaxy
ebon magnet
At what point in the artemis questline do I get the glyphs
autumn apex
The end
Near there at least.
It requires you to make a bunch of warps to progress and each one will give you a glyph.
ebon magnet
It's told me to go to the galactic core

you do not need to go to the core
ebon magnet
Just follow the path?
autumn apex
Once you hit 16 it'll send you to a Atlas Terminal
jovial stag
you used to get the glyphs during 16/16 but it changed...
twilit ocean
Itโs more like โdo this to pass timeโ objective
jovial stag
so 16 jumps for a nice surprise
ebon magnet
Ah k
ebon magnet
I hope I don't get the bug where I get stuck in warp and have to reload
ebon magnet
[Also, I liked that part where the portal dumps you in space near the atlas]
autumn apex
Ah yes the broken world portals
ebon magnet
Ngl, I wish you could spacewalk
Would make some of these new anomalies neato, and the wrecked freighters would have a purpose instead of being eye-candy
ebon magnet
Except they dont
autumn apex
Except they do.
ebon magnet
You can't get anything from them
autumn apex
Yees you can
They have cargo pods with chromatic metal
And blowing em up summons pirates.
They added it in the same patch that added the ability to upgrade Living Ship upgrades
ebon magnet
Huh
dark epoch
Any idea of they are going to allow expanding the living ship inventory?
autumn apex
Potentially
vestal ledge
@ebon magnet some derilict freighters get lil cargo ships that spawn with em, some don't. If you shoot and destroy them you get chrom metal, but alert pirates
autumn apex
The funniest derelict freighter I spawned was in the middle of the anomaly
It was pretty great
The Anomaly killed that freighter
ebon magnet
Well
I finished the Artemis storyline
That was weird
Uhhhhhhhhhh
How do I get back to Eucilid
autumn apex
Do you have a base there?
ebon magnet
Yes?
ebon magnet
Idk what that is
autumn apex
Galaxy #10
ebon magnet
I'm in calypso
ebon magnet
Yep
jovial stag
yeah should have chosen the green orb ๐
ebon magnet
Idk what the orbs were I just picked
Then I realized I should have stopped to think about it lol
jovial stag
Galaxy Choices
At the end of the Artemis quest line the 4 orbs give you the option of going to one of the following galaxies
Calypso [3] (Raging) [Red]
Eissentam [10] (Lush) [Green]
Budullangr [7] (Ancestral) [Blue]
Hilbert Dimension [2] (Normal) [Teal]
or you could stay in Euclid.
ebon magnet
What's the difference
autumn apex
Raging has more extreme weathers
NOrmal is what Euclid is
Lush is more lush planets
ebon magnet
Well, I have a station from it logged now
autumn apex
Ancestral ๐ค I think it has a higher chance of exotic planets or dead planets
ebon magnet
I'm going back to Euclid
Was very not fun to have everything break
Gonna be a chore to repair everything
ebon magnet
I noticed
autumn apex
It doesn't restart it, just puts it at the end where you make your own system
ebon magnet
Oh, it lets you redo what I just did?
autumn apex
Yeah, you just need to recraft the Heart of the Sun
And it'll let give you a black hole and bam you're at your system
ebon magnet
'my system' what do you mean
autumn apex
The story behind the end of the Atlas path is you create a entirely new solar system
ebon magnet
A new galaxy?
autumn apex
No just a system with planets
autumn apex
That's the Artemis Path
ebon magnet
I'm confused now
autumn apex
The Artemis path results in you resetting the Simulation moving you to a different galaxy
The Atlas Path results in you crafting the materials to make a new solar system with its planets and stuff
autumn apex
Aye
ebon magnet
Other than the Artemis path
autumn apex
Yeup
ebon magnet
Huh ok
ebon magnet
Right, right
autumn apex
Sometimes its missions will shove you in some weird galaxy and you can just ask it to keep you there when you complete the mission
ebon magnet
Ah k
autumn apex
But going to the center pops you into the center of the next galaxy.
autumn apex
Nope
Portals only teleport within the same galaxy.
The seed isn't big enough to do that.
ebon magnet
Huh
Well good thing I logged the station before I ported back
Anyway
As much as I'd love to fix all my shit, I'm gonna get some sleep for work tomorrow
autumn apex
Fun fact, The Artemis Storyline takes place 16 minutes before the Atlas dies but the game is a little under 10 now
๐
autumn apex
The Remembrance terminals are a simulation the Atlas made of its creation and end.
The last one details the last 10 minutes
autumn apex
Ten minutes left
||The Travellers are no longer separated, no longer kept apart. They stand side by side at the end of days, traversing the remnants of creation, laughing, dying.||
These same entries also state what the Travelers are
ebon magnet
10 minutes to Atlas could be an eternity to those in the simulation
autumn apex
Aye
ebon magnet
Also I noticed a bug maybe
I never told Artemis she was in a simulation but she said she knew about it when I was getting the glyphs
ebon magnet
There's the point at which you can tell her she's in a simulation or not
autumn apex
Yeah I know of that
autumn apex
The way I see it they found out when they couldn't leave the system
ebon magnet
Atlas mentions it
autumn apex
Gosh darn it Atlas.
ebon magnet
The Deus ex machina
autumn apex
Poor Atlas though.
ebon magnet
Yeh
autumn apex
Especially since he made the Travelers out of despair and loneliness
ebon magnet
I didn't know that the orbs were different,
Btw
I should have payed attention lol
Now I feel like I made the wrong choice
autumn apex
Didn't they tell you before you locked yourself into em?
ebon magnet
Tbh I was just trying to get through it and didn't pay enough attention
Now I feel like I made a bad decision :/
autumn apex
There's no bad decision really.
ebon magnet
Ah well, idk that much about it
autumn apex
Unless you really hate extreme weather planets
ebon magnet
It dropped me on a extreme toxic planet with everything broken
autumn apex
Welcome to Calypso
ebon magnet
I nearly died before I made it to my ship

Quick question... the atlas is dying and I have to choose three..seek the interface, complete atlas path, and explore galaxy
Which do i choose

Uuuuuuuugh

@onyx walrus What do you wanna choose?
