Idk I just want to collect glyph at end
#nms-spoilers
onyx walrus
ebon magnet
At least you keep all your shit
autumn apex
Seek the INterface then
Seeking the INterface starts the Purge which gives you the glyphs
UNless they changed that
onyx walrus
Do I still explore after the purge right? XD
ebon magnet
Also it didn't break the stuff in my Technology section in my ship
autumn apex
Yeah, technology in that inventory is safe.
onyx walrus
Wait what about my stuff
autumn apex
RIP Multitool
You'll have it all
Just any tech not in the tech inventory is gonna be broken
ebon magnet
You keep it all, but most of your tech will be broken
onyx walrus
Yup I'll choose that
ebon magnet
I wonder if you could swap multitools to another owned one before making the choice
ebon magnet
Does it also do the same thing if you swap galaxies the old fashioned way?
autumn apex
Aye
That's why when I moved through a bunch of galaxies I only repaired my analysis visor
ebon magnet
Definently swap ship and multitool then, and have a ship loaded with stuff to fix it
autumn apex
I used my Living ship so all its tech was safe
I don't wanna know what hell ensues repairing the Living ship tech
onyx walrus
How I reach to centre of galaxy
autumn apex
After the Artemis Path?
ebon magnet
Just follow the path
autumn apex
The Path will get you there after a long time
But theres other ways
You can do what I did and just used Black Holes repeatedly
ebon magnet
Well, if he's on the Artemis path
autumn apex
They got me there 6-9k ly at a time
Or you could go online and look for the portal code for a planet at the center and take a portal there.
onyx walrus
Inside space anamoly?
autumn apex
No
That's just a basic teleporter
That looks like a portal
I mean the planetary portals
The Stargates
Because that's what they are dang it
autumn apex
Yeah, that portal
You'll get it at the end of the Artemis path
Unless they changed it
jovial stag
autumn apex
And the ability to detect black holes
Yeah check that link out
Very important info
jovial stag
at the end of the Atlas Path that one
autumn apex
Artemis
jovial stag
Atlas for black holes
onyx walrus
I'm confuse about that info -_-
autumn apex
The Link info?
onyx walrus
Yea
autumn apex
Raging = Galaxy with a large amount of extreme weather
jovial stag
clikc the link to go to a post I made earlier... click the lower of the 2 black bands
jovial stag
where you probably are now, its where everyone starts
onyx walrus
In that galaxy*
autumn apex
Aye
Everyone starts in Euclid
Artemis path is where a majority of people branch out
Out of all of em Eissentam which is where the Lush option will send you is the 2nd most populated.
I think
Might be horrendously wrong
autumn apex
Yeah you need dat dank analysis visor to find it 😛
onyx walrus
Nope I summon another ship to find it and lost it
But I got reload accord to internet say and my damage ship just land 😯
onyx walrus
Why does Every time I look at black hole..i keep think of Radiant..the Seth dark sidh
onyx walrus
I look up galaxy color when reset simulation.. normal=blue and I look at link normal=teal 🤨
cedar charm
that's it yeah
onyx walrus
Aw sweet
cedar charm
that would be a normal galaxy.
onyx walrus
🤣
autumn apex
Sometimes they give one oxygen
quaint raft
I have never received anything in anomaly. Lol
autumn apex
I received one oxygen
quaint raft
@weak pawn i do that in ESO, trade away my crap helm/shoulders to somebody who wants an item from dungeon 🤣🤣
amber sparrow
"complete the atlas path" and "travel to the center" in "the purge"
Are these an either-or type of situation? or can i do them both
im ready to construct the star seed
latent heath
how do u zoom out in cockpit on living ship on pc?
coral tapir
@latent heath same question
autumn apex
Quick menu > options > toggle camera view
viral surge
Is 3rd void egg coordinate also a plaque?
viral surge
3rd planet /3rd day part.
viral surge
K thanks. Just gets tiring flying lol rather use maps lol
uncut harness
yeah that timegated part can be a bit annoying
patent cliff
Has anyone seen a Living Ship with a sorta plateau front, instead of the normal smooth one?
uncut harness
i think i've seen ones like that yea
patent cliff
Just wondering, cause mine's got the plateau front and I've only seen ones with the smooth one before
patent cliff
yeah
prime spade
There's also a 'hammerhead' style front that looks like the plateau front, but has a boney plate on top that overhangs the sides
real sapphire
idk, it seems like random space encounter happens only after you been into every planet in the system 
elfin siren
One of mine has a hammerhead: https://i.imgur.com/AJ2uG8c.jpg
supple relic
@uncut harness I think the 3rd is a plaque, but the fourth is a ring-shaped "boundary failure" structure on an anomalous planet, IIRC
supple relic
Oh oops @viral surge asked that!
daring bronze
I go check
uncut harness
papaya, you just need the egg and 10k nanites to get another alien ship
you don't need to go through the parts and crap
supple relic
Sorry King that was crosstalk, I wasn't talking about your question
daring bronze
I see, no prob
For sure, thanks @uncut harness. Any specific place to purchase it?
uncut harness
you get void eggs from the quicksilver vendor at the hub
uncut harness
the 10k nanites i think is when you actually find the ship
from what i understand it acts like the last part of the quest and just gives you coords
uncut harness
yeah at least i think thats what its like, from what i've heard
viral surge
Still can only have 6 ships though right
mighty rampart
only 6 ships in total
unkempt ore
for mission "The Purge" do i have to remember the glyps sequence in "Atlas sequence ?/16"?
mighty rampart
any more and you will need to sell/scrap one
@unkempt ore nope, you're just being offered these glyphs one by one until you get all 16
viral surge
So gotta get rid 1 for this living ship...rip good thing only fully upgraded 1 lol
mighty rampart
I suggest going to a space station and scrapping it
rather than exchange and abandon the ship for a living ship
unkempt ore
with as minimum spoilers as you can: What does the purge do? Does it reset my progress? I dont mind the discoveries, but i want to keep inventory, ships, freighter...
mighty rampart
nothing is truly reset, its just lore
viral surge
Yeah most def. Just typical exotics but rather scrap for sure
unkempt ore
oh. pffff. i panicked seeing all the drama and the goodbyes
mighty rampart
but a certain event if you choose to partake in, will damage all technology in your exosuit, ship and multitool
for exosuit and ship, only the tech in the general inventory are affected
daring bronze
Isn't that gamemode dependent, or is that what you mean?
mighty rampart
nope it happens in all game modes except creative
@unkempt ore make a manual save before heading to the final area
daring bronze
All my stuff was damaged, I just thought it was because I was on survival
mighty rampart
happens in all 3 modes
daring bronze
@mighty rampart || so what's the event, I dont remember ||
mighty rampart
@daring bronze ||choosing which galaxy you want to go to||
latent heath
is there any systems with higher egg spawn rate?
mighty rampart
uncharted systems should give higher chances because then you wont have any traders
daring bronze
Go to barren planets, they're there by the buttload
gusty stream
@daring bronze He's talking about space eggs, for living ship upgrades.
daring bronze
WHOA thanks
elfin siren
@mighty rampart I found 2 systems where the first pulse encounter is the Void Egg. They are both empty red stars. I checked these because I wanted to avoid traders and people asking me for parts to fix their ship. I am not sure if empty stars have a higher chance but it worked out that way for me
autumn apex
You know... That makes a lotta sense actually
prime spade
After exploring way too many hours in different systems to deck out my living ship, I have some useful observations, albeit anecdotal:
-
Different systems will always have the same events occur in the same order/timing. So if you were to land, reload the save, or jump away then back to a system, you will have the same basic events repeat
-
Different system TYPES seems to have distinct possible events. Empty red stars by far seemed to have the most 'alien melody' anomalies, maybe as much as 90% of events were this type, with a small number of freighter wrecks mixed in, to the exclusion of all else.
-
Anomaly events seem to be rolled at 15 second intervals, and these intervals are like event sequence, system specific. This counter is cumulative, like if you drop out of warp after 13 seconds, and warp for 2 more seconds, you may get an encounter.
-
Anomalies do not appear to occur if you have an active nexus mission, but they DO still occur if there is an active hostile ship (ie. bounty popped up), or you are visiting a system through a portal.
-
Empty systems do not have blue 'random trade ship encounter' events. These encounter events are also not true anomalies as they events seem to be rolled independant of the anomaly encounters described earlier (if you reload a save you may or may not encounter a trader while the underlying seqeunce of anomaly events remains the same)
elfin siren
I was figuring out the "pulse encounters always in the same order" and "empty red stars for Void Egg encounters" parts https://old.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/fcxzqa/guaranteed_living_ship_upgrades/
autumn apex
You know, considering everything is procedurely generated I wouldn't be surprised the order and occurrence of anomalies in systems are too
twilit ocean
I mean after all the fact of everything being procedurally generated is why we don’t have animated terrains yet.
Still kinda wish they’d find a way for waterfalls and rivers/volcanoes to exist at least.
autumn apex
Well they could have a volcano that has a timer 🤔 a very basic option is that once it hits the timer it goes geyser like the sulfide vents underwater
twilit ocean
Yeah that’s what I was thinking
One of the options being timed events
Like underwater when you get close to vents they trigger.
Or when you grab a hadal core the chance of abyss fish spawning.
autumn apex
Rivers and stuff like that are a bit more tricky though
twilit ocean
Well waterfalls are easy
Just have them be immobilized until you arrive.
And when you get close is when the animation occurs for x seconds
autumn apex
Yeah but when it starts moving there will be a bit of a lag
autumn apex
And from what I hear NMS murders some PCs for some reason
twilit ocean
Wasn’t that fixed?
twilit ocean
It used to murder pcs because of how it functioned a long time ago
But I believe that was fixed
Otherwise mods would freaking explode the damn computers.
autumn apex
So it isn't the discount Crysis then
ivory crown
river mechanic's probably more CPU heavy than GPU
autumn apex
Jumps in River A Fatal Error has Occurred
twilit ocean
Yeah
But that’s why I think they should take a more creative approach to rivers.
You don’t need to animate the entire river, you only need a few rocks within the river creating the animation. @ivory crown @autumn apex
autumn apex
Ewwwww
twilit ocean
Well have you ever seen artwork?
autumn apex
No
twilit ocean
This game is living artwork
twilit ocean
You can easily create a perspective by using objects with the water flow right?
ivory crown
but the current
twilit ocean
Yeah you use the objects for that
I’m more concerned about the actual water pathway
Not the current
ivory crown
invisible objects you can't interact with I guess
twilit ocean
but the terrain
Yeah exactly
And then the flow of the water is shown just around the rocks
ivory crown
but at that point the objects are part of the river anyways
twilit ocean
so not the whole thing is moving
but only parts to give the illusion of movement
People use imagination in NMS anyway, whose to say our brains can’t fill in the rest right?
autumn apex
Umm
ivory crown
wonder how the distortion works on NMS tho
twilit ocean
The distortion?
ivory crown
actual image bending instead of just lines to indicate the direction
twilit ocean
Oh that’s true
ivory crown
I don't think I've seen that anywhere on NMS yet
twilit ocean
There’s also the problem if it can even generate the shape of the river itself
And now that you mention that
that’s true
ivory crown
even black holes are just a sphere
twilit ocean
It’s all mostly lines, not even animations.
autumn apex
Still pretty cool though
twilit ocean
Huh.
autumn apex
The black holes that is
autumn apex
I find flying into it a bit disorienting
ivory crown
the cinematic effect with black holes is well done, but it's nothing special really
twilit ocean
Yeah
twilit ocean
So yeah I think noting those things I wonder if they’re ever gonna get around to them.
autumn apex
Especially when the warp doesn't happen until I'm actually in the pitch dark
twilit ocean
Distorted lines and other things can still be made with proc gen I believe.
After all everything is a pattern of some form.
ivory crown
would be cool if black holes actually pulled you in and made you lose control of your ship near the very end
twilit ocean
Yeah that would be cool
Though I think that isn’t there for accidental entries.
Some people aren’t exactly the brightest
ivory crown
but the problem is, the ships themselves don't have physics with gravity and all that
they only have collision and ignores gravity
twilit ocean
That’s true.
autumn apex
Don't forget about the existence of gravity in space
twilit ocean
Though I think that’s like a end-goal touch of life sort of thing.
autumn apex
😉
ivory crown
we're never going to have realistic gravity anyways
that shit's wayyy too performance heavy
twilit ocean
First we need multi-biomes, more depth limit on planets, and potential animations/distorted lines.
autumn apex
Look here
ivory crown
even KSP have to simplify that shit to make it work
twilit ocean
Yeah
autumn apex
We all know that more biome diversity on planets and in space are the most important
ivory crown
space hazards
twilit ocean
Define biome diversity
ivory crown
I want stellar hazards
autumn apex
More than one biome on a planet
twilit ocean
Okay just making sure we were on the same page
analog oracle
Starbirth question. I'm at the point where the egg is giving mer portal coordinates
at what point do I want to stop, save, and keep rolling until I get a nice, sexy ship?
twilit ocean
Go to euclid
Oh
You just save when you get a transmission after
Cancel the transmission then manual save
ivory crown
save before getting on ship
twilit ocean
it’ll contact you infinitely until you answer it.
What nobody said.
Anyway back to conversation at hand
We’re probably well on our way to stellar hazards
ivory crown
well, more specifically getting on ship after returning from the portal
twilit ocean
There’s the giant space larvae asteroid after all.
ivory crown
well not just random encounters with hazards
twilit ocean
Technically the dyson sphere is a hazard too but I assume you mean something else entirely.
autumn apex
He eats us and we got pooped out somewhere else
ivory crown
I want a constant deadly hazard across entire system, cuz star's got something up
ivory crown
yeah all it needs is just constant damage to simulate it
autumn apex
Especially as the Atlas continues to die
ivory crown
the issue would be making the corresponding protection tech for the starship
twilit ocean
Yeah so lets see, more planetary depth & biome diversity(multi-biomes), potential animations and distorted lines, space hazards.
Ya know
autumn apex
You know what I really wanna see is more signs of the Atlas dying
twilit ocean
We should make a community petition for a list of stuff that is most wanted and most plausible.
twilit ocean
Have the content creators and people with semi-adept knowledge rate the most wanted list onto the most plausible
Then we all spam send it to zendesk
ivory crown
new gamemode: doomsday: single player only permadeath. The galaxy's fade slowly closes in. each galaxy reset "resets" the fade's progression and makes the fade's closing in faster and faster. how far you get is your "score"
autumn apex
This sounds like a lot of roguelike games
analog oracle
we need a battle royale
autumn apex
And there's the BR recommendation
ivory crown
oh god pls no battle royale
cursive kernel
@analog oracle bingo bongo you are wrongo
twilit ocean
If a battle royale ends up happening expect a assassination attempt in the near future @analog oracle
ivory crown
this game doesn't even have a proper PvP
twilit ocean
Or rather a mysterious disappearance
ivory crown
how would battle royale work out anyways
analog oracle
one hundred travellers, only one space ship
autumn apex
And this game isn't about competition
analog oracle
you assume you can just start it
prime spade
Actually, if Sean is still doing what he did from day 1, your prayers are heard :p
In that documentry about NMS, Sean revealled that he took it onto himself to crawl social media for what people were saying and wanted from NMS and created like a demand chart of features.
Given how the game has continued to develop it feels like he is still doing that, like after Beyond people said they wanted to see anomalies and events in space and more space 'stuff' in general and lo and behold, next content drop that is what we got.
twilit ocean
Permadeath
analog oracle
you have to repair it first
autumn apex
It's about cooperation
ivory crown
we don't even have proper PvP mechanics down
all we have ATM is "lmao geology cannon killed everyone"
twilit ocean
@prime spade I agree and that’s why we should make a list as a community to ease the work a bit.
Hence why it should be divided to plausible and most wanted
autumn apex
That's still hilarious
twilit ocean
Geology cannon kills everyone?
autumn apex
Yeah
autumn apex
Cuz it always happens because people don't warn their friends that they're lobbing grenados
twilit ocean
That is super funny.
autumn apex
And not everyone is aware of the ability to disable it
twilit ocean
That’s fair
ivory crown
geology cannon is impact-fuse, and it's instadeath to all travelers in its blast radius, and its upgrades increase blast radius
autumn apex
I didn't even know it was a thing until some prick killed me with his ship
twilit ocean
my friends wouldn’t of known if I hadn’t told them.
ivory crown
it's absolutely overpowered for killing travelers
prime spade
It's overpowered for killing yourself 😉
twilit ocean
So space assassinations are a thing?
autumn apex
Pirates would like to know your location
twilit ocean
HAHAHA
ivory crown
you're a traveler too, so yeah
autumn apex
God imagine if pirates actually walked around instead of hiding from Sentinels
twilit ocean
With a geology cannon
ivory crown
you don't get the 2 second bounce the plasma launcher give
autumn apex
@twilit ocean Just do a Nexus mission, ez
ivory crown
you don't get the damage warning from other weapons
twilit ocean
Now that’s just a sabotage right there
ivory crown
just instant explosion of 10u radius that instakills you
prime spade
I dunno if it still works this way, but ships guns used to be able to hit the ground from orbit. After the multiplayer patch you couldn't hide your location marker either, so randos would join your game, aim at your marker from high orbit and just perforate you with their ship guns from outside the atmosphere xD
prime spade
And damages your installed modules/ship parts
autumn apex
That punk just strafed the monstrosities
prime spade
At any rate there is a toggle to disable PvP/multiplayer. Not sure what the default state is now but I thought they fixed it
ivory crown
who doesn't strafe monsterosities
ivory crown
why not
autumn apex
I like gathering the eggs
prime spade
who doesn't strafe monsterosities
I punch them to death >:D
RIP AND TEAR
ivory crown
you can gather while you strafe
that's the whole point of strafing
if not, you're running, not strafing
autumn apex
They auto loot the eggs?
ivory crown
you hold interaction button while strafing
autumn apex
Wait no they were flying in their ship
Just bombarding the area with lasers and missiles
prime spade
I think there's some miscommunication going on, between 'strafing' as in the first person shooter strategy of sidestepping and circling a foe. And the air-combat strategy of 'strafing' where an aircraft flies low and uses it's guns against ground positions.
both are valid tactics vs monstrosities :p
autumn apex
All I know is one second I had full shields and the next second I was near death
ivory crown
oh you mean AC-130 -ing the shit out of monsterosities
autumn apex
And me
uneven oak
it's nice to use your ship's weapons to blast doors
autumn apex
I do it in foot tbh
I timed it and the time it takes me to land and shoot it and shoot it from air and land were about the same
ivory crown
blasting doors take like 5 shots of scatter anyways
autumn apex
I use my boltcaster because of a incident where I accidentally filled a storage container with ammo
ivory crown
that's gonna take ages
uneven oak
isn't pulse splitter faster for burning ammo?
autumn apex
Scatter uses projectile ammo?
ivory crown
8 per shot
autumn apex
Huh
ivory crown
also AC-130 best tactic
autumn apex
I haven't used that since the olden days of charging your guns

I found another fallen host by coindence...but I don't have enough nanites cluster...so I just pit beacon near the ship and come back when I have enough?
uncut harness
I think that should work as long as you don't reject it.
silk garden
You can find fallen hosts by coincidence? Without the trigger in space?
silk garden
Ah, I see😀
How much Quicksilver can you earn per week? I want another Void Egg to replace my first Living Ship.
zinc rivet
guys? I need some explanation
I have reset the universe (Finished last Atlas story quest)
then I saw white screen for like 3 minutes
onyx walrus
Ahh just wait 🙂
zinc rivet
and then I woke up on random planet, with broken all upgrades on my ship and in my exosuit
wtf is happening?
onyx walrus
That what happen to everyone when you reset the simulation
uncut harness
@zinc rivet You beat the game. Welcome to your new galaxy.
onyx walrus
Yea
zinc rivet
is my game reset? What if I travel back to my base from space station? Will it be there?
silk garden
@zinc rivet That's what happens when you open a new galaxy, I haven't decided yet whether I'm gonna reset or not.
zinc rivet
so I can travel between galaxies now?
onyx walrus
I'm not sure about pick different galaxy cause old galaxy
Yep
What color galaxy did you pick
Teal?
zinc rivet
uff, because my base is pretty big. I have spent like 30 hours building it
green
it would be shame if I lost it 😄
silk garden
@zinc rivet I hope you didn't fly a living ship when resetting a new galaxy, those things are a pain to repair.
onyx walrus
I'm not sure...i pick teal which is normal galaxy like eulicd and I can travel between them
uncut harness
You can always jump back to your old base, but I recommend also setting one up in the new galaxy so you'll have access to them super easily.
zinc rivet
OK so thanx for explanation guys 🙂 One last question: How could I beat the game? UI just finished Atlas story, But not Artemis story yet. I havent travelled to the centre.
I had cadmium, emeril and indium drive broken 😦 + like 5 upgrades....
silk garden
Ouch!
zinc rivet
How can I travel between them? Through atlas interface?
uncut harness
Base teleporter.
zinc rivet
yeah but I'm not settling new outpost now 😄 Need to get back to my homie.
uncut harness
Just lay down a base computer so you can come back to this new galaxy. You don't have to build anything else.
silk garden
Just plase a base computer in the new galaxy and you can teleport there from any station too iirc
ninja
zinc rivet
just computer? Not a portal?
uncut harness
All you need is a computer.
zinc rivet
k 😄 weird, but OK, thanx
silk garden
You can jump from any station
uncut harness
The teleporter is more for warping back, which is still useful, but it's not required to teleport between bases.
zinc rivet
and why would I want to go back in the green galaxy? 😄
Because... I haven't explored the old one yet. It has like billions of billions planets, you know 😄
elfin siren
When you look in the teleporter list, it will have [Euclid] or [Eissentam] or whatever after every system/base that is not in your current galaxy
uncut harness
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with having more access to different places.
I've got bases in four different galaxies and can warp between them at will.
silk garden
@zinc rivet I'm not waiting for another galaxy yet either, that's why I haven't done the last Artemis mission yet.
elfin siren
If you see a ship, multitool, or freighter you want on NMSCE, it is nice to be able to get to the galaxy where it is
zinc rivet
ok, so there is no special benefit. It's just another place 😄
uncut harness
The two most popular galaxies are Euclid and Eissentam as far as I know.
silk garden
As far as I know, yes, just another billion stars systems.
elfin siren
You can finish the Atlas mission and not reset the simulation. Then you stay in your current galaxy (first is Euclid) and it doesn't break your stuff
zinc rivet
ok. Late for me, but good to know. Maybye for my next run on VR
silk garden
@elfin siren I've been thinking of not resetting but I still wanna keep my options open.
zinc rivet
and reseting (resp. finishing atlas mission) will also finish Artemis mission?
elfin siren
You can always go to the center and jump instead of using the Atlas mission
zinc rivet
in LOG I don't see "get to the centre" anymore ....
silk garden
@zinc rivet No idea, I haven't finished either of them yet.
zinc rivet
k, thanx for info anyways
I was just not rushing. I though , that I could reach the centre of galaxy any time I want
Apparently, it was not true. Now the quest is gone.
I'm thinking... I don't actually need to place base computer. I can teleport to the space station, right?
elfin siren
Base is best. There are some ways space station approach fails.
ivory crown
space stations get pushed off the list
lament mirage
is it normal for atlas portals to occasionally drop you in open space before you get warped to it or was that just an odd bug
its hard to tell what is and isnt a bug half the time
onyx walrus
I don't think it's a bug
That happen to me before
I was TOTALLY freaking out
I just birth a new star and warp....i don't see difference
I thought I could make a new star with planet I like
gusty depot
Idk if this'd count for "spoilers" but better safe than sorry,
Is there only 1 kind of "Living Ship" ?
gusty depot
accessible to the player?
onyx walrus
There only color difference if I recall and yes you can claim it if you give what it want
gusty depot
Cause the update states "The Living Ship update introduces the first new starship since ATLAS RISES"
Is there only the 1 shape of ship, just in different colours, or are there different Living Ships
lament mirage
heres hoping later updates bring more shapes too
gusty depot
ahh. Darn. That makes it significantly less interesting
lament mirage
Give us a living hauler or living freighter thats just a giant space whale
onyx walrus
But living ship is Awesome
gusty depot
@lament mirage Yes
onyx walrus
You don't have to keep making warp cell.. just feed it chromatic metal and warp xD
lament mirage
living ship is cheaper to upkeep but a bit more wonky and expensive to repair
gusty depot
I'm not saying it isn't good, I haven't gotten one yet so I have little opinion
I'm just saying its Boring. once you've seen one you've basically seen them all, besides colour
Its interesting its a thing but could do with more variety, especially for what seems like such a big update
"Major" at least according to Steam
lament mirage
make it grow like you made it grow
have it get more doodads and specializations that display on its body as you make further upgrades and modifications
specialize it for fighting? have it become a sleeker, harder target to hit, faster, stronger weapons
specialize it for travel and exploration, make its cockpit expand for comfort, better viewing, its emitters stronger to facilitate more efficient jumps and further warps
specialize it for storage and trade? allow it to thicken out, increasing the capacity of its storage sacs and pods, maybe even have it fill in the spaces between its outstretched wings for further capacity as it doesnt need to be as nimble, maybe even have its weapons and armor shift in compensation for its loss in mobility
theres so much they could do with it
gusty depot
Exactly, and I sure hope they do. Because a really in-depth Incubation, Growing and Raising your ship for it to grow into different things, sounds actually really cool
and Maybe like some Genetic engineering with some rare materials, or just feeding it certain things while its growing for it to turn into bigger or more "expensive" ship types
prime spade
Yes, the atlas path is a seperate arc. The artemis path (ends with 16/16), is the arc which ends with the reset
autumn apex
The living ships have separate shapes
Some have four wings some don't
Some have multiple thrusters others have one
Some have a hammerhead and others don't
@gusty depot
They might look similar when docked but when they're flying they open up
Just like any other ship class
Well other ship classes don't open up and have fleshy bits but you get the idea
cursive kernel
@lament mirage also yes that was meant to happen
lament mirage
ah, I just finished 16/16 and it started purge so I was wondering if I should do atlas path too
before reset
cursive kernel
I meant the falling in space part
lament mirage
ye I was replying to ryuujin
sly bobcat
Is there a definite/quick way to encounter host for egg hatching? I've done plenty, but just can't seem to get em in a timely fashion. At one point I had 3 rerolls pop host at the exact same time. But this past week I've been able to only get like 2 host encounters maybe 3 in an hour if I'm lucky. It's exhausting being picky lol
I'm honestly |-| this close to just playing the dang game lol
and why tf is my freighter stalking me?? every time I come out of pulse my freighter and some random ass alien fleets warp into my space. even after I change systems lol. wild
lament mirage
I think i'll work on the purge long enough to get all the portal glyphs then go back and do atlas path for all of the blueprints
nocturne zephyr
Rocket league in space
hearty sphinx
do freighters get bigger than this? or do i have the largest size for this model?
also is it worth upgrading my hyperdrive on my freighter? or should i just my squid ship?
uncut harness
That’s the biggest freighter size.
Also, with proper upgrades, you can get it up to 2,500 Ly.
quaint raft
Does freighter hyperdrive distance matter if you only summon it? Lol. I never travel via freighter, just summon haha
mighty rampart
Nope
uncut harness
Not in the slightest. You can jump whole galaxies, and it’ll still warp to you without a care.
The only time range matters is if you want to warp while on board.
maiden leaf
With the living ships, do they have classes? Are those randomised? Considering going back to my save until I get a class S if that’s possible
maiden leaf
Niceee I got my ship then 😎 finally
unkempt ore
starbirth and melody of the egg missions are connected?
unkempt ore
"i should await further contact from the egg"
unkempt ore
sometimes when i warp i get these messages from melody of the egg, with glyph description i think.
mighty rampart
oh I thought that's gone now
unkempt ore
"four: the obscured companion" was the last one
mighty rampart
yeah in that old mission we compiled the glyphs into a portal address
unkempt ore
so the egg has matured. should i just wait till something happens? like it says: "the void egg is humming..."
mighty rampart
are you doing starbirth?
unkempt ore
yes. "is humming on a strange frequency. await contact" Should i just wait? Do my other missions?
autumn apex

"Don't say another goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds it's destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and sing the song that ends the world." is going through my head while I head to reset the galaxy

Realized when someone mentioned space environments
There’s actually a lot of possibilities for it.
@ivory crown
If space had damaging environments and had a label to them, it could indirectly affect planetary environments too.
Like taking advantage of the proc gen system you could have the environment of a Nuclear space change the environment of a ,lets say, Lush planet into a Mutated Life/Corrupted Lush Planet.
So that the space environment would actually enhance the proc gen environments of planets indirectly.
Combine that with more planetary depth & biome diversity options like multi-biomes if it’s possible, volcanoes, and potential animations and distorted lines.
opal grail
I'm still looking for that unicorn mythic system with six planets, and one of each of the biomes: lush, toxic, irradiated, hot, cold and desert.
twilit ocean
I would say rivers and waterfalls but those fall under animations and distorted lines.
I tried that once.
I will tell you now, just pick 3 of them and have a planet with 2 moons and a portal.
It makes it a much easier task.
opal grail
Yeah, I gave up after about 3 hours of searching.
twilit ocean
I tried for a month once before
opal grail
I had found a system with three planets to set up a stasis generator farm. Turns out that the system had 4 of the 6 planets, and a neighbouring system had the other 2.
twilit ocean
It’s easier if you narrow down your search based on things you can see on the galactic map.
opal grail
So I'm building on six separate planets at the same time.
twilit ocean
Yeah that’s the easier way
I just want one for good screenshots
So I search ones with 6 celestial bodies, water and 2 of those bodies being moons usually.
opal grail
Well, I've got a little ... OCD to contend with, and not having a system with all six planets is messing with me. xD
opal grail
And of course, if I try to find 6 separate systems with the proper sized planets, I'll go nuts.
How do you mean?
The galactic map doesn't show biomes, as far as I know.
twilit ocean
On the galactic map it’ll show the number of planets and moons, if they have water and the type of star.
Water gives away biomes immediately.
opal grail
How so?
twilit ocean
If you want every biome you’re gonna need one with water
With water comes lush or other life like planets almost immediately
opal grail
I mean, I did look around the galactic map, looking for 6 body systems.
twilit ocean
If you search in blue stars you’ll find abandoned systems in Eissentam and Euclid
opal grail
Ah, that's the thing. You are practically guaranteed to have a lush in a 6 planet system.
twilit ocean
If you search red you’ll find dangerous systems
opal grail
Sadly, you are almost guaranteed to have a lifeless planet in a 6 body system.
twilit ocean
But if you search yellow and green you’re more likely to find the variety of things you need.
I’ve found several 6 planet systems with 0 lifeless planets
In fact the one i’m in now is just like that.
It has a anomaly planet for a really good ferrite farm and weird creatures on it.
You just gotta know how to abuse the creation system, otherwise you’ll just end up with abandoned planets and systems all the dang time.
opal grail
Yes, yellow and white (that's the green stars) are good ones.
twilit ocean
Yeah sometimes red too.
opal grail
So water is one thing to look for.
twilit ocean
I’d say every 2 yellow you want to warp to a red, every red you want to warp or green.
opal grail
What else gives you clues as to the system's planetary biomes?
opal grail
Hm.
twilit ocean
I think yellow has like 2 or 3 letters
twilit ocean
You’d have to ask someone who has delved into the code however.
opal grail
So how else do you avoid dead planets?
twilit ocean
I only recognize patterns that help me search, I don’t fully know the proc gen but only understand it minimally.
Are you in Euclid, Eissentam, Elkupalos etc
I only have a little bit of time before I got to go, so if you vanish before answering what galaxy you’re in I can’t help you @opal grail
Welp if you’re in anywhere except Eissentam you go to Eissentam to avoid dead planets.
fringe notch
I honestly have been mapping out dead planets
Some of them can be ... interesting.
There is a very small minority of them I noticed which seem to be bugged?
One dead world had a ocean
Although, with the recent updates, they seem to have lost those oceans, a shame
twilit ocean
The galaxy itself determines the chances of planets
opal grail
xD
twilit ocean
You can still warp back to your bases @opal grail
opal grail
I know, I know.
twilit ocean
So work towards Eissentam
fringe notch
Yup
fringe notch
I actually live in a harsh dead galaxy. Over 70 percent dead world
opal grail
Thanks for your help, @twilit ocean

Umm are Yellow living ships really common

all living ships are common

you're pointing at a spectrum and asking if it's rare
uncut harness
Mine is magenta, and I've only seen exactly two other people find one like that.
autumn apex
I've only seen yellow disproving living ships colors take after their planet
Yay I found one
worldly horizon
I gave a seed of glass to the boudary failure thing, but i did not get a growing singularity
autumn apex
The yellow is actually reflective
It looks more like the color around it sometimes
daring bronze
@worldly horizondo it again?
worldly horizon
the quest just tells me to create a singularity core and leads me to a star system, but nothing happens
uncut harness
This one’s mine. I’m actually really happy with it.
quaint raft
@worldly horizon did tou goto the planet your egg tells you to?
worldly horizon
I did, and I made the seed, and gave it to the boundary failure, and now it leads me to a system while telling me to create a singularity core, and nothing else
karmic skiff
What's the community mission this week?
karmic skiff
Thanks!
autumn apex
Albumen pearls
But don't worry if you have none, I went there and it seemed like their spawn was amped up
karmic skiff
Those things are super easy to find
I usually ask because it's easier to pack it in than deal with the lagfest that tends to be the community planet
autumn apex
Lagfest?
Huh
Then again I imagine 8 ships parked in one are lags the hell outta stuff
karmic skiff
Plus people like to build bases right on top of the portal/monolith. Last week, the planet was extreme weather. Week before it was a hilarious "kill sentinels for pugneum" event that ran at about 3fps
twilit ocean
Ps4 is usually pretty stable
autumn apex
That'd explain it
twilit ocean
Depends on when we get on honestly
twilit ocean
If you get on at 3am or early like you stated not many get on immediately
autumn apex
I remember the last time when the portal was a sea of messages
The cooking one
Spent an hour on that planet
twilit ocean
Yeah timing when you get on helps significantly
I imagine pc is truly the lag fest
Or, if you are in multiplayer
Like a group
that kicks the notch up to 12
quaint raft
How to restart nexus mission? I blew up supply depots before the quest triggered
Ps4 too btw
uncut harness
that nexus mission is broken, i restarted the game to get rid of it, not sure if that’s the right way to do it tho
uncut harness
autumn apex
Though that would work too
uncut harness
basically how i solve a nms problem: turn off the game lol
ebon magnet
Yeah, put pugentium in with (some elements, not all) and it will make more of that element
Like 1 pugentium + 2 ferrite dust = 3 pure ferrite
Or 1 sodium + 1 pugentium = 3 sodium nitrate
So many wiring looms to repair all this shit
ebon magnet
Ok so I have the glyphs and a portal
How do I go to the specific location I want to go to, to do the alien ship thing

ebon magnet
I'm figuring it out

How the hell am I supposed to find these things if the coordinates constantly change
autumn apex
Luck, magic, determination, and skill
You land in the range and look around. You see nothing you move a bit further in the range
ebon magnet
Let me guess they don't show up on scanner either
ivory crown
they show up on your visor
autumn apex
They do
ivory crown
hold F to pinpoint
autumn apex
The only touchy ones are the graves
ivory crown
graves show up on visor too
autumn apex
Yeah but they're touchy for some people
I saw em fine but others said the third one didn't pop up etc etc
ivory crown
it's cuz they're impatient
they don't want to take a moment and scan 360 with their visor for one
and the fact that everything on visor is same color doesnt help when you tryna locate the thing within 2 seconds of you pulling up your visor
ivory crown
it's certainly not invisible tho
autumn apex
And unknown building icon
ivory crown
people just dont take their time
autumn apex
I move slowly cuz I did a lot of scrap/bone searches
That and I don't have mouse speeds
ebon magnet
I've been wandering around this area for a while now and haven't found jack
autumn apex
Fly around the area and try looking for the plaque/artifact like dat
Or fly to a different spot and take a look around
autumn apex
You could also build a exocraft if you'd prefer to stay on the ground
autumn apex
Oof
ivory crown
then patience is your friend
ebon magnet
Actually no I have the first one but I can't make it because I don't have paraffinum
ivory crown
you don't have any tools you need for a shotcut
autumn apex
Right now you could pray to the Ocean King, fly around and look, or fly to new spots and explore on foot
Unless you wanna jump to a lush world and grab paraffiniiums
ebon magnet
There's only one area you can look that's within these coordinates and I'm already there
autumn apex
The Plaque is there. You just gotta find it
ebon magnet
I'm literally dozing off trying to find this thing
ivory crown
thought he was on grave step
autumn apex
🤔
ebon magnet
Fill the soul chamber
autumn apex
Oh
Double check your +/- coordinates are correct and if they are continue wandering
Use the mystical melee boost
ebon magnet
I literally just zonked out looking for this thing
I'm gonna go make dinner and then play something else
Come back to this later

Maybe get some paraffinum or something so I can make a roamer

Question: I'm at the end of the Artemis path, on the Purge quest
Talked to Atlas, chose to reset the simualtion
4 orbs appear, I guess these are new galaxies
If I click any of these, is it final? Or can I check what each does before making my choice?
mighty rampart
its final
the only check you can do is what the description says
which is pretty vague
red - more extreme planets
green - more lush/earthlike planets
blue - more dead/exotic planets
light blue - same as euclid in distribution
twilit trench
hello, is having a void egg in ship increases chances of random encounter in space? (I m hunting for upgrades for my first living ship )
vague shuttle
That was odd. I just finished the weekend mission. As usual, I disabled multiplayer. Which worked fine going into anomaly to get the mission and on the portal planet looking for knowledge stones. However, upon arriving by portal on the mission world , there were a number of players wandering about and I had another player on my team. Multiplayer was still set to disabled. The mission was very easy though. Just the Atlas slowly losing control I guess. 😉
quaint raft
@autumn apex yes i have. It warped me some 500k LY away. Had to use space station to get back
(I dont really remember the distance. 500k might be an exageration. I know it was a long way lol)
grizzled apex
Any place for datamining discussion? The wiki is extremely outdated
violet narwhal
Here, really.
grizzled apex
What about the new backpack. Any dates?
violet narwhal
That's not something that could really be datamined.
But maybe in the next few weeks, who knows.
outer cobalt
@grizzled apex If each shop (with tiers) is unlocked every week, then do the math. Current Shop = 26, Backpack is Shop 30. So I would guess early April
grizzled apex
Oh thanks.
I find the similarity to the original box art backpack really interesting
And what about that other white egg that was datamined?
outer cobalt
As for that upside-down Y shape, yes.
The Mystery Egg?
No idea yet.
According to the File naming, I would expect it to be a Shop item, but nothing found besides the images as of yet
sullen drift
Another egg.. I saw that and wondered where it went.. considering it just.. isn't mentioned yet.. Wonder what it will do.
outer cobalt
Currently nothing, obviously ... lol
sullen drift
Well yee, Heh
I mean as in the future.
If ever, I mean it just might not ever do nothing.
outer cobalt
Not sure what the Wiki considers datamining. If it is stuff we have found that is sure to be coming, then I guess it would be a spoiler. I find the stuff found that has no trace at all as of yet more suitable for ' datamining' . Then again, I don't add to the NMS wiki
Either way, I am more curious about some other things found than the upcoming backpack, decorative items, spaceship trails, or bobbleheads
violet narwhal
I think the mech was the only other thing that was added recently but hasn't been seen yet.
outer cobalt
How about some of the Tech stuff?
Larger solar gens, windturbine, new wire connectors, transformer panels etc. ?
violet narwhal
That was there since NEXT, or thereabouts, IIRC, so I'm not sure we'll ever be seeing those. But I think I saw someone say some of that stuff was changed recently, so who knows.
outer cobalt
I don't always dive in, so yeah, some f it may have been there already, although some of it was new to me
violet narwhal
outer cobalt
Oh and a silo, but not sure which we have and which is the other. Either of these two
And then these odd wall panels (Adaptor/Transformer)
I got more even ...
Want me to post?
Module Switch, Powerline Switch
Sockets
Even a fun ATM
Some sort of Lunar Scene
The turrets
violet narwhal
Hmm... We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
outer cobalt
A round target switch
Exactly, but it sure has my curiosity.
Found a Theremin as well, but that was just a fun inside joke I guess
violet narwhal
Oh yeah I've seen that... VR may be vaguely feasible for that kind of thing, but that model suggests you may be right.
grave oasis
Hmm that’s some cool stuff, that wall panel almost looks like a tv, what if that’s the illusive method to some how having our own pictures displayed in our bases or something to that effect.

is that a theremin, or a generic quadroped skeleton?
I mean, is the file called theremin, or are you just saying, it lookslike one?

@raven tangle was having the same issue. Doesn't help mine sent me to a red anomaly planet. Gave it a break im on my 3rd
I'll try again later lol
raven tangle
yeah I get extreme storms and a lot of sentinel activity and it rains even when there's no storm and red fog
but I'm running circles looking for it
it should show up on the visor though?
also doesn't help a ton of people placed bases here on top of stuff
not sure if maybe a person placed a base around it?
viral surge
Yes it'll be a orange color on top where n/s is. Also the diamond shows up when in visor looking around ground
raven tangle
is there a way to turn off other people's base indicators
my hud is cluttered with people's base spam
viral surge
Yeah my 1st one a base built on it. Couldn't place communication thing because of it to help others
raven tangle
fuck
viral surge
Maybe turn off multiplayer and restart bases might not show

there is a base here but can't tell
wish community mission areas prevented building

We need a new channel specifically for living ship quest assistance

Yare yare
Look here kiddos, the best answer we can give is to move around and use dat visor and find their markers. They appear, sometimes they just get swamped out by people spamming their damn messages.
formal furnace
I just don't understand how so many people have to much trouble with this
I did the whole quest and the only thing I needed was how to translate the words into glyphs
autumn apex
If you don't find it in a general vicinity just get into your ship and fly to another spot within the range, and/or use exocrafts
formal furnace
it felt fairly straightforward, though pretty damn tedious
autumn apex
I think it's because some people get sent to a populated world and there's this compulsive desire to write "I Was Here"
formal furnace
that doesn't stop you from finding the quest objectives
autumn apex
And those billion markers cover everything
formal furnace
you can always play in offline mode
autumn apex
Also sometimes they go in one direction and assume if it's not there it's nowhere
:FeelsBadMan:
formal furnace
well yeah, and that's the kind of thing I assume with the endless parade of people who just can't figure it out
autumn apex
Though there have been people who haven't seen the marker on their visor and they stumbled upon the grave
And the fact that the quest can get bugged up
formal furnace
I would hope by now they have squashed most of the significant bugs with the quest
but who knows, I experienced no bugs when I did it
uncut harness
yeah sometimes the graves on the visor marker are bugged
that happened to me with one of them
uncut harness
I'm also stuck on the living ship quest its really bugged for me
something that i think helped is saving, then turning off multiplayer and reloading the game with multiplayer off
it makes the coordinates a little less random but idk
Dang I want lava cake now
are you coming on to me
😍
raven tangle
After you do the living egg quest you no longer have to do it for the other eggs? (can I throw out whatever extra living ship parts I got from dupe bug)
I saw online that you can just take an egg in space while flying your living ship and you'll get to skip to the last part
