By picking an option you just move one of the quests on top

#

You can do other quests or explore freely anytime

weary phoenix
#

oh oka cool

jovial stag
#

@supple locust if you've made the HotS and and you visit another interface you can use that on the console in the picture you posted in #nms-questions but you must activate the other terminals first before you can use the HotS and once you do you then get a choice, if you've not done that that perhaps you may need to find another Atlas interface

supple locust
#

@jovial stag i did all of the above non worked

#

i just started a new save

uncut harness
#

At the end of the atlas path, you to get to pick between either a star seed or seeing black holes without assistance.

#

Curious on the benefits between the 2

daring bronze
#

So i come here with a discovery

#

A few days ago, someone said you could reset the atlas infinitely

scarlet carbon
#

how?

daring bronze
#

So I tested it out

scarlet carbon
#

did it work?

#

and how do you do it

#

i already reset it

daring bronze
#

And the seeds do nothing but bring a new Star into the galaxy

#

So there

#

That's it

scarlet carbon
#

what

#

was i supposed to be making all the seeds

daring bronze
#

You can only do it once per save just like the wiki says

#

No no

scarlet carbon
#

does it actually make a new system?

daring bronze
#

The only thing it does is make a new Star system to explore

#

Ye

scarlet carbon
#

oh cool

#

can everyone go to it

daring bronze
#

Theoretically

scarlet carbon
#

doesn't it let you see all black holes on the galaxy map as well tho

daring bronze
#

Ye

#

There's that

scarlet carbon
#

cuz that would be helpful for me

daring bronze
#

You'd think

scarlet carbon
#

i keep running into hyper black holes that keep putting me in the outer room and its soooo annoyinh

daring bronze
#

But then when you have to keep repairing your driver's it gets annoying

#

Drives

#

Not drivers

scarlet carbon
#

just use a ship you dont care about do go through the black hole

daring bronze
#

But then you have to land, exchange ships, the go through, then change ships again to warp

#

Man's not about that fam

#

I'm just going to use a save editor

#

I've learned that it was a bug that I was able to go back to euclid

scarlet carbon
#

im able to go back to euclid

daring bronze
#

Obv my base was available

scarlet carbon
#

i just use the space station teleporter

#

it takes me to any space station i've been to

daring bronze
#

But when you switch, none of the euclid stations are supposed to be available

scarlet carbon
#

oh

daring bronze
#

To avoid the same thing that happened to me

#

I thought the galaxy switch was name only

#

I didnt know it was different until much later

#

Also

#

The same guy who said that you could reset the atlas infinitely was the same guy who said that the stations show what galaxy they're in in the teleporter

#

Which is bull shit

scarlet carbon
#

they do tho

#

for me they do

daring bronze
#

Fuckin where

#

Ive looked everywhere

#

Can you post?

scarlet carbon
#

it says either euclid or bulldangr for me after the name of the space station

#

not atm

daring bronze
#

Wtf

#

Maybe mine is bugged out

scarlet carbon
#

in between the brackets

daring bronze
#

There were no brackets

#

The only thing that was there is the name of the station

#

That's ot

#

It

scarlet carbon
#

it looks like: Space station name [Galaxy]

daring bronze
#

Beuh

#

Wi xx hi aizibaiabx

#

Why tf this game gotta do me like that

scarlet carbon
#

lol

daring bronze
#

Ia it because you saved in a different galaxy?

scarlet carbon
#

idk

daring bronze
#

I dont understand

scarlet carbon
#

i just got to another galaxy like 2 days ago

daring bronze
#

Like i spent all that time doing the qiest and it just sucks that for me, there seemed to have been no safety net

#

I wasnt in the discord either

#

Oh well

#

I'm just going to use an editor and set my progress back

#

Screw starting a new save

#

I have over a hundred hours

scarlet carbon
#

oof

jovial stag
daring bronze
#

No :(

#

I was just saying in another chat actually

#

@jovial stag

#

That it sucked that there wasn't really a safety net

#

Like it makes sense now because I know how everything works mostly

#

But when i did the main quest i wasnt in the discord and I thought that the galaxy change was name only

#

Because I could still visit all the space stations and auch

#

Now I find out that you're not supposed to be able to do that

#

And it really sucks

#

But I'm just going to use an editor and reset the atlas again

#

I feel like I'm justified

#

Wait it was this chat

#

Now I'm the dumb

#

I thought this was help

#

Lol

empty cedar
#

It's okay, Papaya King, you're taking some of the pressure of annoying ppl with my own weird issues off me, pls continue

tidal roost
#

Should I kill Artemis or keep him in simulation 🙄😁

jovial stag
#

Should I kill Artemis or keep him her in simulation 🙄😁
@tidal roost there fixed it for you 😉

tidal roost
#

I thought it's a she but then saw somewhere on the internet ppl referred to Artemis as a he and got confused 😆
Still, didn't expect NMS to ask me about euthanasia 🤔

jovial stag
#

how is ending something that is already dead euthanasia?

tidal roost
#

Okay maybe not euthanasia

#

But still a complex question I wouldn't expect from such game xD

#

Guess I'll just kill her, whatever 🤷

jovial stag
#

i took the American approach... kill now ask questions later 😉

tidal roost
#

I'm still wondering, if the end quest leads to reset and new galaxy, should I explore and develop now (being on that Artemis choice quest), or wait until I'm spawned in new galaxy? I already "lost" my initial base after the first galaxy switch (ok, maybe not lost, I know it's accessible from teleports but it's still another galaxy) and am wondering if there's a point in setting down midway through main questline?

twilit ocean
#

@daring bronze don’t do that

#

You can just go to someones base and place a base down

#

Then you’ll have access to the galaxy again

daring bronze
#

@twilit ocean I dont have internet at my home at the moment

#

So using a save editor is my option

#

I dont really see what the issue is

#

It's not like I'm going to cheat or anything. I'm going to revert the last mission so I can do it again instead of just warping

gleaming rune
#

So remind me

#

When choosing which new galaxy to generate

#

Your choices are:

#

Lush

#

Extreme Survival

#

Silent

#

or...

#

What's the last one

solemn basalt
#

Less people, I think.

#

*aliens

gleaming rune
#

Ok the wiki says "normal"

#

Idk if that changes the alien spawning

#

...Why would anyone choose silent

#

"Yes, I would like all the planets to have nothing on them"

meager swan
#

just a quick question bc I'm a new player:
Is there anything past the simulation reset? (I chose the red orb when resetting, if that does anything) just want to make sure I haven't missed something big

gleaming rune
#

You spawn in a new galaxy

#

You choose which kind of planet spawns most often

#

I think the red orb gives you the galaxy with a ton of extreme survival planets

meager swan
#

ah alright

#

is it possible to reset it again?

#

i.e. generate a different galaxy

gleaming rune
#

Yeah

#

You have to reach the center

#

again

#

There are 255 possible galaxies total

#

Once you've visited them all you go back to Euclid

#

Which

#

I'm not sure anyone has ever even done

meager swan
#

ok
so I just need to find a portal leyline and fill up the glyph things right

eager breach
#

It would take like 10 years to do all that

gleaming rune
#

@meager swan uhhhh what are you trying to do

#

You can't portal to the center

#

Or everyone would do it

#

You can also finish the story missions which is faster

#

But I think you can only do that once

#

Fastest way to center is finish the Atlas missions so you get the thing that shows you black holes

#

Savescum those black holes until you get close to the center

eager breach
#

How do you even know whats the center

gleaming rune
#

(Each black hole will put you out in a random location at a certain radius from the star system you're in. You can save/reload going through it until you get sent in a direction that gets you closer to the center)

#

@eager breach there's a little position indicator that shows where in the galaxy you are

#

and tells you how far from center you are

#

And there's a navigation line setting that guides you towards the center

#

Which is the big glowy thing you see in the galaxy map in the distance

#

Go towards that

split parcel
#

what happens when I complete the atlas path as opposed to seeking the final interface?

#

Anyone?

rancid gyro
#

one gives you option to reset galaxy right away.... otherone you get blueprints and have to go to the center to go to a new galaxy.

split parcel
#

Okay

gleaming rune
#

So when are we getting the new backpacks

mighty rampart
#

whenever it comes out

rancid gyro
#

i want a deadpool one

tidal roost
#

So if I don't reset atlas I'll get some new blueprints? Why would anyone reset galaxy then 🤔

rancid gyro
#

different types of galaxies.

#

empty, harsh, lush, normal

mighty rampart
#

those blueprints are kind of useless outside of the context of the story

#

artemis path is what you want, to go to a new galaxy easy

#

atlas path is for the ability to see black holes in the galaxy map without needing Polo's help

tidal roost
#

So it's best to stick with mainline and reset galaxy then? 😁

mighty rampart
#

yes

#

you can complete atlas path later if you feel like

rancid gyro
#

wish i did

scarlet carbon
#

I should’ve done lush

#

I’m pretty sure I did the blue one

#

😐

#

So yeah I won’t find a lot of lush planets like I wanted...

#

I wasn’t thinking about that when I reset it

#

What kind of galaxy is the Hilbert dimension?

tidal roost
#

normal

scarlet carbon
#

thannks

#

i got an empty galaxy : (

#

i hate those galaxys cuz they feel so lonely

#

and the planets are always so eerie

#

what is a harsh galaxy?

#

like what makes it harsh

uncut harness
#

What happens if I reset the simulation at the end of the story

#

@here

split parcel
#

@uncut harness you travel to a new galaxy

daring bronze
#

@tidal roost you get the bp's whether you reset or not

#

Oh sorry, necropost

#

I didn't read further ahead sorry

tidal roost
#

thx anywany ^^

scarlet carbon
#

you travel to a new galaxy, do not choose dark blue

#

choose green

#

you will get much better planets

#

higher chances for lush planets

#

i was dumb and chose blue which gave me deserted and empty planets

#

i hate it

#

its so creepy

daring bronze
#

Alone man's sky

#

Random technical question: I seem to recall galaxy IDs being zero-indexed (e.g. Euclid is stored as 0x00 rather than 0x01 in the save data); can anyone confirm?

uncut harness
fringe turtle
uncut harness
#

Oh it's those glyphs. thanks

fringe turtle
#

Of course, you have to be in Euclid. It's the only galaxy you can hatch eggs in.

#

It's interesting how portal codes have opposite "endianness" from galactic coordinates

jovial stag
solemn basalt
#

The mods should pin that ngl

uncut harness
#

||er yall, so i refused to reset and idk what i do now erm ( i wanna reset now)||

oblique vessel
#

@uncut harness just play the game 🙂 explore, upgrade, make bases, do other missions

#

if you ever change your mind you still have the quest marker to do it

#

but theres really no point, other galaxies are less populated with no real upside

tawny root
#

Really? They don’t have like different creatures and stuff? It’s just the variety of planets?

rancid gyro
#

Some galaxies have more of a specific type of planet. Would advise looking online

chilly pagoda
#

Can anyone recommend a good guide that lays out the pros/cons of resetting vs refusing the atlas?

rancid gyro
#

Con.... cant back to previous galaxies if you dont have a base to warp too. And if you are not wise and use a dummy ship and multitool being used, stuff breaks. And stuff you have equipped, not in a tech slot (both ship in you).

oblique vessel
#

reset: new galaxy with different skew to world/system generation.
refuse: stay in most populated galaxy

rancid gyro
#

Pro. Can have different chance at how common certain types of planets. And less people in galaxy most likely.

#

Otherwise basically best way to figure it out is look up different galaxies and decide yourself

crisp fern
#

Con to refusing: it takes forever to get to another galaxy otherwise, and you don't get a choice in the type.

chilly pagoda
#

Could I not technically join another galaxy by joining a player's session and setting up a base?

#

And thanks for all the answers

rancid gyro
#

That's what I did

warm dawn
#

Also reset bruh the planet was nice and all but repairing everything was a bitch

#

But I would still reset as I always wanted to find a lush planet in eissentam and retire like Thanos 🤣

#

Ps. Still not found a lush planet lmao

daring bronze
#

snaps fingers

rancid gyro
#

@warm dawn whenever you reset, use a ship that you dont care about, and a multitool tou dont care about also. And have as many of the upgrades that go into your inventory in the tech tab. Stuff installed in the tech tab in your inventory and ships inventory wont break. And frigates stay

warm dawn
#

Ayy well too late for that now lmao

rancid gyro
#

Yea

#

If you reset again, keep that in mind. I forgot to change my multitool

daring bronze
#

Can't reset on the same save, just to be clear @warm dawn

#

Only once

stoic bolt
#

Is it better to end Artemis's suffering or to upload him?
What's the difference?

honest lotus
#

When you upload them you put them in a simulation and you still get to talk with them sometimes.
Ending their suffering is just letting them die.

rancid gyro
#

i ended tbh.... i would hate to learn i was alone in an endless simulation.

daring bronze
#

@stoic bolt the choices dont indirectly affect what you do. The only choices that matter are the || atlas path || but that's arguable

weary phoenix
#

so im reading about the pruge and resetting the universe. wiki says all tech will be damaged but otherwise will i keep eveyrthing? like freighter, frigates, ships,e tc

#

like is tech being damaged the only outcome of resetting

prime inlet
#

The Purge will, if the player wants, restart the sim in another galaxy. Tech is the only thing that gets damaged, but you keep it all: installd tech/modules, mats, etc

#

on your exo and on your ship

#

make sure to have the basic mats on you to repair the tech or just have a good working ship for you to spawn in

weary phoenix
#

what r the basic mats

#

so its basically new game plus in a contrived way

#

like i keep everything but its jsut damaged in a fresh galaxy

#

neat

#

is tehre a reason not to reset

tepid iris
#

According to Procedural Traveller they datamined space bases in Synthesis

rare radish
#

so im about to get the heart of the sun blueprint and finish the atlas path but im wondering if this will interfere with the purge quest? will it ask me there if i want to reset or will that happen later after i finished the atlas path? and if so, what should i do before resetting? finish the side missions? should i even reset?

weary phoenix
#

wow ur right about where i am too ahha im wonderin if there are any negatives to resetting

rare radish
#

yeah i think if you got a base and teleporter in euclid its not really a problem, but youll lose the technology and stuff thats not in the technology slots. as far as i can see thats the only downside, i dont know about missions though

quaint raft
#

@rare radish finishing the purge will break any mods not in technology slots. Multitool is the hardest hit, and i recommend not using living ship as there repairs are rather irksome

weary phoenix
#

oh u lose all the upgrade modules?

#

so its not just that tech breaks down u lose them?

quaint raft
#

I meant break. You dont lose them

#

Ships and MTs are the hardest hit. Exosuit not so much

weary phoenix
#

oh phew

#

is it tech in active multi tool or all

quaint raft
#

Typically recommend using a cheaper ship/mt and letting it break rather than your main ship/tool

#

Anything mod/weapon/tool not in a technology slot

weary phoenix
#

o so it is just whatever is main atm?

#

so it's across all ships and all multi tools

quaint raft
#

Since there are no technology slots on MT, it all breaks

#

Just whichever you have "equipped" at thr time

weary phoenix
#

oh same for ship?

#

i have a pretty empty ship and multi tool so whenever im ready to reset can i just use those nad not have to repair much

#

or does it not matter

rare radish
#

i think im gonna stay in euclid though, its more populated and i dont really see much benefits of resetting. and if i want to go to another galaxy i can just join someone right?

weary phoenix
#

me neither but i wanna do it cuz of plot u kno

#

unless hte negaties are too bad

#

if it's really just broken tech then i'll go ahead with it

#

gotta complete atlas path before i continue on main quest tho lol

#

so many orbs

quaint raft
#

If you take a bunch of basic materials, wiring looms and some miceoprocessors, you should be able to repair most dmg rather quickly

weary phoenix
#

i can just call my freighter and repair stuff there

#

unless ur about to say we lose the freighter and none main ships

quaint raft
#

You spawn on a planet. Your ship wont fly, so you cant get to freighter. Hence having either basic mats to repair uourself, or a 2ndary ship to let break so your main one wont get dmged

weary phoenix
#

which basic mats for at least the launch trhuster then

#

should just be the basic stuff like carbon ferrite and stuff right?

#

i have those in my inv but jus tin case i'll take some wiring looms and stuff

quaint raft
#

Yup. I have a little bit of everything. If you dont have it, usually you can still get it on new planet. Except looms and MPs. Those are harder to find lol

weary phoenix
#

lol i imagine

#

i always have hte basic resources

#

alright i mean i see no extreme downside to resetting

#

imma do it once im done with atlas path

#

i read that u createa star at the end of atlas path shame i'm leaving it behind when i reset lol

quaint raft
#

Just build at least one base in euclid before you go, and one base wherever you gi, that way you can go back and forth easily

weary phoenix
#

ya i have a base in here

#

no worries there

#

excited to make a new base lol

modern pollen
#

Does anyone know if the time change for the Void Egg quest works on PS4?

grizzled apex
#

Yes, just make sure to avoid reverting the time after your component is finished or it breaks the quest

daring bronze
#

Does it really?

#

That's pretty weird

#

I mean if you do it offline, you could just stay offline and do the whole quest in like an hiur or two, but jeez, i didn't know it was so fragile on console

#

On PC you just start steam in offline mode and set your time manually. Then you can go back as long as you've saved in the future

modern pollen
#

Thx

#

@grizzled apex can I revert the time when I am all done and got the ship?

grizzled apex
#

Yes, that works. Because the quest ends.

#

@daring bronze I believe the time is tracked on the machine itself on ps4? Not sure, but reverting time after skipping the first time broke the quest for me until HG allowed it to be reset.

#

I found soemthing strange the other day while exploring the space crashed freighter. There is an orange terminal with an ANIMATED texture and a cracked screen, as well as oil spills. They also seem to have hidden rooms. Some panels were a bit cracked and I could shoot them to open up an entrance to a room with a storage container and some small boxes. The panel was glitchy tho, bcuse I had to shoot the wall next to the broken panel to destroy it. Makes me believe this is an unfinished feature. Maybe the mechs really were supposed to spacewalk, but the leak made early release necessary.

#

I'll post images if it hasn't been posted here before.

daring bronze
#

@grizzled apex you may have to dc from internet if you hadn't done that. Time is kept on pc as well the same way. But there coyld be under-the-hood differences we dont know of.

grizzled apex
#

@daring bronze I had disconnected, but the game still glitched when I reverted time after skipping for the first organ.

daring bronze
#

You would know better than I, then

grizzled apex
#

It was the release version of LS tho, so maybe that was a factor.

#

I took some precautions after a fix came.

Can someone try and walk on the freighter? Couldn't spawn mine near it.

timid mist
#

Those panels are the same as the crashed land freighters, it's just that they reused the same models and stuff for the space ones and reorganized the debris a bit

grizzled apex
#

Hmm... never encountered those on land

#

The ui which shows up when you mine plants etc come up when destroying the panel, and says "Broken Panel"or something.

#

But still, removing the containers would be easy. HG aren't that lazy.

timid mist
#

It's identical to the ones on land, was added many updates ago

#

you can dig underground for the containers or you can break panels on certain ones to reveal containers

grizzled apex
#

Oh okay, thanks. Got a bit hyped for nothing. Sad to see HG took the easy route with them. Thanks, that was driving me crazy. Never dug too deep with the crashed freighters on land.

oblique vessel
#

the crashed ones have 6 loot boxes each - two behind panels and four underground

#

talking to the distress beacon usually gives a quest that tracks the number

nocturne zephyr
#

honestly them reusing assets for smaller updates gives more more hope for bigger, game-changing updates in the future

random cedar
#

Has anybody traveled to the center, after refusing the reset?

oblique vessel
#

black holes make it not toooo long a trip

random cedar
#

well, i remember having reached it through black holes the last time, but Polo was giving the "track nearest shortcut to Center"

#

this option is not there anymore

#

i wonder

#

if somebody maybe has shyteloads of experience

#

Google doesnt help

#

Will the Quest "The Purge" reappear somehow? Will the quest return after refusing somehow? Will the quest return if you do not refuse, submit, and joined the new galaxy?

#

If i go to the center, will the purge be purged, and will i be stuck on this "enjoy universe" mission forever?

Ok what does the Remembrance do

@daring bronze is he really though?

daring bronze

They are, for sure

Go further than that though. How many iterations of atlas are there? And if you were to go all the way out, would artemis really exist in the firat place. Im not using spoiler tags because this is the spoiler channel 🤣

Ugghhhhh space base building.... They better not waste their efforts on making a whole new set of purposeless building parts just for space..

I just wish you didn't have to use the pulse drive for the space encounters

#

If they just randomly spawned that would be better

wait why is this in spoilers

Yep. I really don't care for the whole space encounter system

#

I'd rather see a marker on my radar/map and head toward it

Remember the days when a question mark icon on a planet was exciting to see and go toward?

tepid iris
#

imo you don't need new building parts for space

#

if you repair frigates, there's balcony outside

#

I'd imagine space bases basically like frigate interiors and their balconies

#

in essence, a space base could be like a static "frigate" which is buildable on the inside like the freighter

nocturne zephyr
#

then that could be cool. or they could just improve/expand freighter interior bases

Can someone clarify or link me something useful about what happens when i get to the galactic centre/get the last glyph? I've been reading online but most of it it's outdated. Since I mainly play with other friends I don't wanna be unable to go back the planet we all play in, i also have multiple bases in Euclid.

I also don't know if i should post this in nms-help or here squinteyes

You can always teleport back to your base, even if it's in another galaxy.

daring bronze
#

@tired nexus those two things arent the same thing. Also, the event you're thinking of doesnt happen when you get the last glyph. You'll know when it happens. Also, you can tp to any base or station.

Here's what happens when you get to the center: || you go to the next galaxy, in order ||

Also main story spoiler || once per playthrough, completing the main mission "the purge" will automatically warp you to the next galaxy. Make sure when you go to a new galaxy that you switch multitools and ships, and put all necessary tech in the tech slots of the inventory. Galxy transfer isnt nice on the items if you get my drift. ||

@outer cobalt hey no worries, i'm busy too & don't have a save up to speed, otherwise i wouldn't be asking others, lol

Thanks for checking btw!

Not sure if this is a spoiler anymore, but not gonna take a chance. I'm still working on the living ship thing. I now have the Active Void Egg, and it says Await Contact.

we do inside the frigates to repair them

maybe we could upgrade them with special tech, which would require us to go inside and build it physically

lean quiver
#

Hey, I'm trying to progress on the Atlas path (after leaving it alone for years); it wants me to craft the Heart of the Sun, but I've never done any of the items leading up to it, so don't know the chain of blueprints. It tells me to go to secure facilities to learn a blueprint (for the previous item in the chain) but that does nothing. Any idea how to learn the first blueprint in the chain? When I ask Polo for Atlas station coordinates I don't seem to get anything, in case I need to visit those for the chain. (I still have an Atlas seed from 2016 or 2017 though.)

#

(I think it is bugged, but I recently completed the Anomaly missions, and did not reset.)

jovial stag
#

@lean quiver ```css
The Atlas Seeds

> Captured Nanode: Pathfinder (5 milestones completed)
> Englobed Shade: Juno (10 milestones completed)
> Noospheric Orb: Rosetta (15 milestones completed)
> Dark Matter: Cassini (20 milestones completed)
> Dawn's End: Kepler (25 milestones completed)
> Photic Jade: Dawn (30 milestones completed)
> State Phasure: Curiosity (35 milestones completed)
> Novae Reclaiment: Hubble (40 milestones completed)
> Modified Quanta: Viking (45 milestones completed)
> Heart of the Sun: Magellan (50 milestones completed)
#

just check the items you can craft and the above should be there if you have done any of the Atlas Path stuff...

#

and those blueprints to make the items are only given by the Atlas

lean quiver
#

Only did the first Atlas station back in the first version of the game in 2016 or 2017. Have completed all possible milestones: have 100.

#

Yah, so it looks like somehow I need to go find Atlas stations (Polo is not giving me coordinates for any, nor black holes.)

#

(I found a black hole the hard way: randomly, but have not gone in. Would it help?)

jovial stag
#

yeah but visit Atlas -> get Captured nanode blueprint -> go build it... return to the Atlas and get Englobed Shade blueprint -> go build it.... and you need the preceeding seed in order to build the next so it may be the mission is screwed for you and you'll therefore require the help of someone who can edit your save to fix the mission...

#

the alternative is just do something else and see if the mission rights itself

lean quiver
#

Yah, I found others online complaining of the same/similar thing I am seeing, as in the mission is borked for us.

#

Because we "leapfrogged" somehow to an unexpected state.

jovial stag
#

it may be the old save got updated and during the update process the mission progress was broken

#

or the step the mission was on

lean quiver
#

Yup, that happened lots of times, but I always had an old save to revert to until HG fixed the bugs damaging the save... This time, too late XD

#

They may not have planned for people on step 2 of the Atlas Path from 2016 XD

jovial stag
#

you could always start a fresh save and keep the one you have now until a solution is found... you'll then have the JOY of doing everything again and it'll all be fresh memories for you 😉

lean quiver
#

heh, I'm still filling in my star empire (hundreds of bases and systems so far, even though discoveries reset every so often XD)

#

so I'm having fun. But want to have a Remembrance XD

#

heh, I could go ask in the Nexus for a donation, or just for a Modified Quanta XD

#

(since I have the blueprint for Remembrance, I just need that to make Heart of the Sun XD)

advantages of resetting crap

oblique vessel
#

soif you reset, you go to another galaxy

#

i.e. not euclid

#

fewer players, but you can have a galaxy with a higher spawn rate of certain planet types

#

thats basically it

#

also make sure you equip a throwaway multitool and ship so your main ones dont get damaged

ok thats dumb

im not doing it

is there another way to finish story tho without doing it?

so basically i just persue the

what happened to my other quest?

i sppent ages doiung that going to atlas stations

#

i had to get 2 more achievements and go back

if thats the end of this game what a waste of 20 hours

#

2 hours ago i was thinking thsi is awesoem

#

seems if u go back to polo u can request co ords for atlas path again it must have bugged out
If u complete that line u dont really need to do the center of galaxy thing

At which point in the Artemis quest line would I be unlocking glyphs?
I'm doing Patterns in Time right now, which I think is second-to-last

#

Also, I'm established in Kikolgallr already. If I finish 16/16 and opt for the reset, does it send me to Eltiensleen?

daring bronze
#

@empty cedar the part where you have to start warping

empty cedar
#

Fwiw I'm mainly doing this quest line for the glyphs, I saw suggestions that it is a decent alternative to hunting for 16 Traveler graves

daring bronze
#

Is when you learn the glyphs

open finch
#

that moment when you're trying to get to the center using black hole but it takes you to the edge of the galaxy : ' )

empty cedar
#

Oh so I would definitely know when I'm close, since I've jumped galaxies before

#

I already pretty much know the story from previous play throughs, and I know what it's like to change galaxies, so I'm thinking once I have the glyphs unlocked I can just ignore the rest of quest line, at least for a while...or am I overlooking something?

I'm going into the end of what looks like one of the final missions

Does anyone have the Atlas' dialogue in the main storyline?

#

I want to refresh on that.

honest lotus
#

@left badge yes

#

But be sure to move as much tech as you can into your technology slots so that they don’t break

empty cedar
#

Or be on a crappier ship when you commence reset, and switch back to the good ship after
Also, I believe it breaks your multitool, so you might want to equip a multitool you don't care about

fervent valve
#

umm. what's a redacted planet?

empty cedar
#

It's [REDACTED]

#

So when you choose to reset at the end sof the Artemis quests, and you pick, say, Lush, is it completely random which of the 25 possible Lush galaxies you get sent to?

open finch
#

I went to the center(?) and got into ATLAS then chose to not reset cuz he wanted it and fuck him so now i got thrown into a random planet and had to build remembrance and star seed, so what's next?

#

i also made the stupid thing of not building a base close to center to im kinda screwed

empty cedar
#

What comes next, in terms of story I'm not sure, but you do still have the option of changing galaxies

open finch
#

how?

empty cedar
#

@open finch If you want to move to another galaxy without using the quests, fly to the Center without following ATLAS's directions.

open finch
#

so now that I've done everything it wants, would getting to the center change anything other than new galaxy?

#

cuz I just found an interface and it gives me the option to "birth a new star"

#

ok that just gives you the Star Seed BP again

empty cedar
#

The outcome is pretty much the same either way, although you will reach different specific galaxies depending on your choice (the wiki has a detailed overview of them). The only other difference is what the quest(s) say afterwards.

Guys I’m going to leave the story at the purge — from what I’ve heard the ending a massive/huge disappointment and so I’ve decided to leave the story at that (the purge). Has anyone completed it fully?

jovial stag
#

so you read/heard something on the internet and you believe it... shocking. well in order to obtain all the Glyphs you'll need to do part of the purge that gives them to you otherwise you'll be looking for travellers and if you choose to not bother getting the Glyphs then you'll not be able to go looking for new ships/multitools etc but hey your choice 😉 @full light

full light
#

My issue is getting there I’ve not got a problem is filling my inventory with warp cells and looking for black hole and getting near to the galactic core. But it’s thing that comes afterward that really questionable.

#

I’ll need a massive amount of resources

#

Just to get to the galactic core

jovial stag
#

you don't have to go anywhere near the Core... the game needed a direction to send you in and the Core won... simple as that...

full light
#

I don’t understand what you mean?

jovial stag
#

the game asks you to head towards the Core, BUT you never get there as all you have to do is warp 16 times to get the 16 Glyphs that used to be given to you when you did the 16/16 mission but the giving bit was moved to the purge for some very strange reason

full light
#

Yeah, I did notice that the game goes “reach the galactic core” and then a few seconds later it changed to “collect 16 glyphs”...

#

Then I was like okay maybe weren’t going to galactic core after all

#

Lol

#

Warping 16 times is alright I’ll do that now.

jovial stag

you then get sent to the Final interface and then you have a choice to make 😉

but there was you got Glyphs 😉 those are real handy.

crisp fern

it wasn't terribly clear imo, given that you could use portals in the story up to that point no problem, so unless you tried to use portals outside of the story you wouldn't even know you couldn't yet

@crisp fern it's pretty confusing. I had to have someone explain the last part of the living ship quest to me

Atlas path isn't just a "minor thing" though

the ability to see any black hole marked on the map is quite useful.

@tall flint the atlas quest also lets you || create a new star system every time you do the quest, that you then can warp to via a black hole you get the coords to ||

not saying we can't right now, but when i did the quest (both times), i never got the chance to visit the star system you're thinking of. game never gave me any coords to a black hole system. back then, i asked about it on reddit, and was told that i could simply forget the idea of visiting that star/star system - aka it didn't actually exist.

The Icarus System is basically solar power for your craft, for starts.

efficient?

I think it just recharges the craft during sunlight hours.

What is the star seed for? And how do I get a "remembrance"?

empty cedar
#

Okay, so ||I'm ready to proceed through the portal on my egg-to-living-ship journey. Is this the point where I make sure I have a manual save, in case I want to pick a different model?||

heady wyvern
#

@wanton sinew ||Star Seed allows you to see all black holes on the galactic map, Remembrance allows access to the lore terminals behind Atlas Pass 3 doors on space stations.||

#

@wanton sinew ||You get Remembrance at the end of the Artemis path.||

wanton sinew
#

@heady wyvern Perfect. Thank you. I was wondering what those things were that were asking for remembrance.

wanton sinew
#

Im supposed to search for Artemis and Apollo but my mission objectives is just telling me about the Nexus.

heady wyvern
#

@wanton sinew Give me a screenshot of what the mission says. Include the entire screen.

#

Y'know, if it's convenient for you now.

wanton sinew
#

Mission screen?

heady wyvern
#

Yes, from the quest log.

wanton sinew
#

It has to upload. So give a bit. I'm on Xbox.

heady wyvern
#

Aight.

wanton sinew
#

@heady wyvern

heady wyvern
#

Select the quest "Ghosts in the Machine."

wanton sinew
#

It says to expand my staff but I'm fully staffed.

heady wyvern
#

Let me see.

#

If it's still convenient.

#

For you to do that.

wanton sinew
#

Potato pic ok? It's much faster.

heady wyvern
#

Yeah, whatever gets the job done.

wanton sinew
heady wyvern
#

Try rebuilding them.

#

The terminals.

#

Don't worry about the NPCs, you'll be able to get them back easy.

wanton sinew
#

I need to rebuild my weapons one. Does it have to be at my actual base or can it be on my frigate?

heady wyvern
#

...yes?

wanton sinew
#

The big ship you can buy and make a base on.

#

Or does it have to be at the base on the planet?

heady wyvern
#

I know, I just wasn't expecting you to ask that question.

#

To be safe, do it on a planetary base.

#

And the base-ship is a freighter, the escort ships you can hire are frigates.

wanton sinew
#

Ok. Mission objective is to supply power to base.

heady wyvern
#

You already got power?

wanton sinew
#

o.o Solar panels and batteries connected to the base so I assume so.

heady wyvern
#

Get more.

#

More power.

wanton sinew
#

Batteries or solar power?

heady wyvern
#

Solar panels I'd assume.

wanton sinew
#

I have 8...

heady wyvern
#

I'm not worried about how many you have, but about how many you've built since now.

#

The game tends to act strange like that.

#

Plop another one down and report back.

wanton sinew
#

Wait. It said biofuel reactor. Aha. Now it says to go to space and report to Artemis.

heady wyvern
#

Well, I'll leave you to it.

wanton sinew
#

@heady wyvern Thanks. I feel dumb now. XD

haughty bear
#

How do you get 4-5star missions for the frigates? My fleet is decked AF but I still just get 1-3 star missions

haughty bear

woops wrong chnnel

wanton sinew
#

I found a corrupted mission on the Nexus. Not sure if it's supposed to actually be a thing or not. Made me curious. But I left it and it wasn't there anymore.

uncut harness
#

It's not a bug, it's a rare mission with better rewards

#

Rare may not be the right word, it's the same mission as others you can find in the Nexus

#

Just the text is scrambled so you don't know which one is it

wanton sinew
#

@uncut harness Fascinating. Thanks for the information

#

This is a question I need help with but I am not sure whether or not to put it here or in the help channel but it might be a spoiler. Best to be safe. Anyways I am currently doing The Purge mission and still don’t have a freighter... is this normal?

as you get really close to the centre of a galaxy, the galactic centre should grow larger in the sky of the star system you're in tbh

That would make too much sense though

Which Galaxy do most players end up making at the end of The Purge?

Is there a set kind of building I'm looking for for the Unstable Coordinates part of Starbirth? I have the brain, got the signal, and have investigated every unknown building in a square mile

IIRC it looks just like the one in the previous step

tall flint
#

I beat it since asking that, so I give one bit of advice to everyone undergoing it: be sure you match the coordinates, +'s and -'s too. I was on the complete opposite side of the planet help

empty cedar
#

Anything special about the cracked void egg that's left over in my inventory after completing that mission?
Also, I marked the spot where I finally obtained that ship; is it possible another living ship might spawn there at some point?

uncut harness
#

Was there anything datamined from the last update?

fervent valve
#

what are 'chilling grubs' good for?

violet narwhal
#

Selling

fervent valve
#

that's it?

violet narwhal
#

Yeah, that sounds like a randomly generated valuable item, which has no use and is only there to be sold.

fervent valve
#

the description said something about a curse and hinted at eldritch horrors. I got it from a 'hazard containment' anomaly in space

heady wyvern
#

Yes, sell.

fervent valve
#

does something happen if you don't sell it?

violet narwhal
#

It takes up an inventory space you could have used for something more useful. That's all though blob

fervent valve
#

ah

Is "The Purge" the last main quest ?

Soooooo

#

Any new datamines?

jovial stag
#

@random cedar does no one bother reading the Wiki .... The player has to interact with 9 Atlas Seed Chambers, then interact with the final interface, and choose whether to birth a new star or walk away and return to the galaxy. The mission proper ends once the decision is made; both options will grant the player the ability to see Black Holes on the Galaxy Map without the assistance of Polo, but the Star Seed blueprint will be awarded only if the player chooses to birth a new star. so basically complete the mission you get to see Black Holes on the galaxy map, birth the star and you also gain the Star Seed BP (blueprint)

crisp fern
#

lol that new icon kinda sucks

jovial stag
#

at least with the above you knew there was a black hole in the system, with the icons would be nice if there was a key somewhere but not seen one in game

crisp fern
#

yeah...not gonna lie if you hadn't clearly pointed out that those were marking black hole star systems, i'd have just thought somehow the beacons had glitched and were displaying on the galactic map

#

in a number of ways the galactic map has taken steps back in terms of immediate readability

jovial stag
#

indeed, I miss the feature that when a waypoint was set and you had the waypoint filer set on the galaxy map it informed you how far you were from where you wanted to be. Why that feature was removed boggles ones mind.

crisp fern
#

i don't think i ever noticed that, and i used to use waypoints to keep track of where i started more easily thonk

#

the one that bugs me is removing the planet/moon count from the readout

#

So instead you just count the rings/orbs in the fake star system orbital display

lime pulsar
#

I have managed to avoid most spoilers so far, but I did want to ask if I will possibly lose the ability to return to old bases? I've built a few super bases on perfect planets that I don't want to lose.

violet narwhal
#

I think there may be a limit to the number it'll show you in the teleporter list, but it's like 50 or something, so unless you keep building everywhere it should be fine.

lime pulsar
#

Even if I reset at the end of the quest the purge?

jovial stag
#

Yes, but the extra info you also need to be aware of could be considered a spoiler so if you really want to know ask. @lime pulsar

lime pulsar
#

@jovial stag I've read that it clearly states you will erase everything.

jovial stag
#

The game changed.. you can now return from other Galaxies and go back n forth, as long as you make a base in the new galaxy before returning to the old one. And you keep everything inventory, ships, freighter (even the active missions) and the frigates

#

@jovial stag I've read that it clearly states you will erase everything.
@lime pulsar and you should not believe everything you read on the internet... 😉

lime pulsar
#

So always keep a base in new galaxies?

jovial stag
#

basically... you're in Euclid and you go elsewhere... make a base, you can then return to Euclid and from there go back to "elsewhere"

#

So always keep a base in new galaxies?
@lime pulsar well there are 255 galaxies and you're limited, at the moment, to 50 bases in the teleport list

lime pulsar
#

The game no longer cuts you off from your old stuff? That's a nice change.

I only keep the essential bases and doubt I'll visit all 255

#

That's kind of a relief to know

#

@jovial stag thanks for that info

Anyone familiar with farming Living Ship styles? I'm about to run my quest for the first time (PC platform) and want to make sure I have the ability to flip ship styles if I don't like what RNG gives me first. 🙂 I've read a lot of conflicting info online, so hoping someone here can answer a few questions about it.

past thorn
#

but some recipies do help, like bread and stew, which give you unlimited jetpack and unlimited sprint.

scarlet carbon
#

How is that censored bruh

daring bronze
#

@coral granite save before going to planet

#

Then reload if you don't like ship

#

Classic save/load

coral granite
#

@daring bronze I've read that the ship designs are not specific per-planet anymore, and every time a ship loads it's totally RNG - meaning any screenshot showing a specific living ship with portal coords won't actually look like that anymore - do you know if that's true?

scarlet carbon
#

Does anyone have coords for an exotic ship that looks like this

#

I’m looking for ones like this that fold

daring bronze
#

I dont know if the seed is per system. That would mean needing to save from an earlier point

scarlet carbon
#

I just think they’re neat

daring bronze
#

@coral granite

scarlet carbon
#

Oh

#

Ok

daring bronze
#

I don't think it is though

#

@scarlet carbon sorry lol

scarlet carbon
#

Or I could just hunt for them at space stations

#

It’s fine lol

#

I was just wondering

#

I sometimes come across them randomly

daring bronze
#

Go on the reddit 👍

scarlet carbon
#

But I never have the units to get them

daring bronze
#

Time to crash some economies then

scarlet carbon
#

lol

#

I have an activated indium farm

coral granite
#

@daring bronze yeah, that's what i'm trying to find out for sure - exactly what point I need to have a manual save so I can re-roll if needed, and also if any of the ships with coords on reddit are even able to be obtained anymore

scarlet carbon
#

So I make bank with that

daring bronze
#

Well the living ships are rng no matter what

scarlet carbon
#

I can’t finish the living ship quest

#

Mine is bugged

coral granite
#

RNG for style as well as color?

scarlet carbon
#

I crashed in the middle of the part where you have to charge the soul thing and I can’t get the graves anymore

daring bronze
#

You could never just go and find one

scarlet carbon
#

So yeah epic

daring bronze
#

Yes

#

@coral granite

#

They're always random

coral granite
#

so that means the photos on reddit with specific living ship locations are obsolete, since some later patch RNG'd the whole process

daring bronze
#

Just make a backup and test it

scarlet carbon
#

They need to make it so you can change the color of your ship in the ship customize menu at space stations

daring bronze
#

No, those pictures were never accurate to begin with

#

It's always been rng

#

So far as i know

#

@scarlet carbon u rite

coral granite
#

roger that, thanks - is there a way i can have multiple manual save backups? can i steal the files out of a save folder or something?

scarlet carbon
#

I’m surprised they haven’t done that yet tho

daring bronze
#

Yeah

#

Gotta check in Google though

#

Idk the exact file location

#

I think it's in local, then roaming

coral granite
#

i assume i need both files backed up? seems like each save has two files, one 1kb file and one larger file

#

also, not sure which is auto and which is manual, or if it even matters

wanton sinew
#

Reset or refuse?

heady wyvern
#

Reset brings you to a new galaxy, refuse spits you back into Euclid.

wanton sinew
#

How do I get remembrance?

#

Which one?

heady wyvern
#

Either.

wanton sinew
#

So I can get it if I refuse? Any bonus to reset?

heady wyvern
#

If you reset, you'll get the chance to enter a new galaxy.

#

If you refuse, you'll return to Euclid.

wanton sinew
#

Do I keep my stuff if I reset?

heady wyvern
#

Yes.

#

Though things will be broken.

wanton sinew
#

That makes sense.

#

If I refuse can I reset later?

heady wyvern
#

You'll have to go to the Core if you refuse.

wanton sinew
#

My friends and I set up bases on a planet, will I lose access to these if I reset?

heady wyvern
#

And you won't get to choose the galaxy you enter next if you go through the Core.

#

If you reset, you can still access Euclid by teleporting to your bases there.

wanton sinew
#

Is there anything good by going to a new Galaxy? Like better ships and such?

heady wyvern
#

Not really.

#

If I'm gonna be honest.

wanton sinew
#

So no changes?

heady wyvern
#

Just a different biome distribution.

#

For example, Eissentam has more lush planets in its yellow systens.

wanton sinew
#

Will my frieghter be broken? Or just my starship?

heady wyvern
#

Just your ship.

#

Your active ship, mind.

wanton sinew
#

Oh. And will I need to complete any quests to obtain my remembrance?

#

If I reset I mean

heady wyvern
#

If you haven't done the Atlas Path, you'll need a material from that.

#

And remember, you'll get the print even if you refuse.

wanton sinew
#

I have 2 of the final orbs.

#

Have the star seed in my suit.

#

So just reset, then find an Atlas interface?

heady wyvern
#

Remeber that both options will give you the Rememberance.

wanton sinew
#

I've done the first option before on the atlas path.

heady wyvern
#

We're still talking about the Artemis path, yes?

wanton sinew
#

I hit reset.

heady wyvern
#

Yep.

#

Alright.

#

Choose your galaxy.

#

Most go with the green one.

wanton sinew
#

What's the difference between them?

heady wyvern
#

Biome distribution.

#

And also the fact that each galaxy has it's own multiplayer community.

#

But mostly biome distribution.

wanton sinew
#

I'm in Eissentam.

#

Oh wow. Quite literally everything broke.

#

All my suit stuff, tool stuff. And ship stuff

heady wyvern
#

That was about what I expected.

crisp fern
#

Hmm, black holes take you around the galaxy & damage stuff, and the centre takes you around the universe & damages stuff, so...Supermassive black hole?

heady wyvern
#

Sounds legit.

jovial stag
#

Consistency in a game what more could you ask for 😉

heady wyvern
#

Of course.

#

The core is a black hole so big it yeets you into an entirely different galaxy.

cursive kernel
#

@crisp fern isn't that basically what is in real life

heady wyvern
#

Yes, but No Man's Sky doesn't really play by our rules.

#

If you haven't noticed.

#

By the fact that you have not been spaghettified once on your journey.

timber walrus
#

you guys know that black holes in real life are not wormholes, just super-dense collapsed stars that have such a large amount of mass that their gravity captures even photons, and you can't so much enter a black hole as be smashed against it and compacted to microscopic size extremely slowly, right?

uncut harness
#

"gravity captures photons"

#

I thought it was just about the escape velocity being higher than the speed of light, thus making it not possible for any particle

#

Not about particles without mass being bound by gravity, however strong it might be

timber walrus
#

and the escape velocity is a product of?

uncut harness
#

I know what you are getting at, I'm just saying I'm not sure if the phrase "gravity affects photons" is valid here

#

Talk like this is where we hit a language issue, where we could theorize that gravitational force doesn't exists per se, but is a geometry of the space-time itself

#

Well, geometry is not theright word, dunno the proper term

timber walrus
#

well, gravity is not just the force of mass attracting mass but also the effect of space-time warping around objects with mass, so while it might be a bit of a misnomer I would argue its still an accurate statement

uncut harness
#

Warping around objects, I like that more

#

That's a nice way to put it

timber walrus
#

but my original point was that black holes in game do not function the same as in real life, in that black holes in real life don't function as wormholes

uncut harness
#

As with every game, the devs have a bit of freedom to decide what works and what doesn't

timber walrus
#

of course, and theres nothing wrong with that

uncut harness
#

As for real black holes, we don't have the evidence supporting they work as wormholes, nor that they don't

timber walrus
#

but someone asked if it basically worked the same as real life, and someone else said yes, and I went "wait, hold up"

uncut harness
#

We're just scratching the surface of black holes, we dont know what happens deep down there

#

Most people just assume all that matter must go somewhere, not everything is added to the mass nor expeled as energy of Hawking radiation

timber walrus
#

I mean, we know that all wormholes require exotic matter to function

#

and we know that exotic matter is repelled by gravity

#

so the idea of a wormhole being in a black hole, the home of some of the strongest gravitational forces ever conceived, seems unlikely, though I have been wrong before

uncut harness
#

Where do I go if I want to learn all walking Titan lore?

#

Is there a really good video or something which explains it all in detail?

#

@timber walrus nobody knows how black holes work, maybe they are wormholes, maybe they are alternate dimensions 😁

#

There is certain solutions of general relativity which allow for Einstein Rosen bridges where the entrance of each is a black hole

#

So maybe, u don’t know...

#

Back to walking Titan

#

Anyone know where I can get a detailed summary?

#

There’s so much tho! Lol

#

@uncut harness is there a good video?

#

Not really no.

#

Like I watched a video but the guy was like ‘I might be wrong or missing some stuff’

#

So I was like forget this guy

#

Will there be a phase 7?

heady wyvern
#

It's not likely.

#

The arc is over.

uncut harness
#

I’ve only skimmed so I don’t really know much

#

But it’s confusing me because walking Titan talks about uploading peoples minds into ‘emily’

#

But wasn’t there a whole thing from the big circle machines forgot what they called that the traveller was actually just 1 copy of the creator replayed again and again?

#

Boundary error machines

#

Emily is Atlas.

#

Yea

#

But for the boundary error machines

#

There was something about atlas/emily asking for 1 thing when the creator (I’m assuming Elizabeth) left

#

And it was like a copy of them

#

And then they just recreated again and again (which is what travellers are)

#

These

#

Of its creator

#

Not of those sketchy people

#

Wait or is it a copy of the player in games mind?

#

But that doesn’t make sense
