Overlap would be the problem yeah
so it is a single shared universe then, good on HG as it would be less of a headache moving on
PS bases never existed in my PC universe, do they disappear again? Will my base still be in both PC and PS universe?
If it weren't super populated I don't see an issue but as soon as you have overlap it gets interesting
If they somehow managed to merge everything (without issue) I see no problem. But maintaining already existing 'known' different universes and properly syncing all seems like some voodoo to me
Thing is right now if an Xbox players goes to the same system us PC folks have tons of shit on, they will see all that shit
So there wouldn't be a risk of overlap
I am not an expert though, so who knows what trickery is involved. I just wonder about this
Well logically its a good point in this particular scenario
Well yes, as said earlier, possibly the same 'testing' universe, or shared PC universe as they all join fresh currently
But I think it is fair to wonder and speculate what will happen and how this is going to be done once this goes out of beta and other platforms truly join
The only way in my opinion to avoid overlap of same system dickery is to have the group owner show to all discovery wise and ambient would be limited
Yeah
Discoveries already act weird at times ...
Yeah for sure
You think you were first, are in MP and all of a sudden some random new player has all your discoveries listed. Then a week later you check it out again and it's all back to how it should have been to begin with
You've got the P2P connection plus discovery REST API unless they changed that but it was certainly REST before
I guess time will tell lol
Then again, being reminded of 'multiverses', it would not amaze me to see weird things happen as a result of the choice made.
Or its dynamic
It was odd, prob a bug, but the console players base did disappear when my pc friend joined me in the system
This was after a restart in solo mode
Prob discovery services getting worked on or just general oddness
Have you tried leaving the system as well? As that at least used to unload any loaded player bases until experimental. Restarting the game while still in the same system doesn't cause a change.
Yup
Left and came back no problem
Even saw other dudes in my group who were console in the galaxy map in neighbor system before
In all honesty though, I wouldn't mind a full on reset if that helps the game in any way, never have been against it in favour of development
I agree
Of course you try to restrict any damage done as much as possible
Hmmm, loads of new roaming base computers once this goes out of beta?
lol
One thing I was not able to do was just join a console players group if we weren't in the Nexus
Or invite to mine
Not from launch menu either?
No
Ok, interesting
I added him also but there was no option
As a friend*
Yeah not on launch either correct
Once we were grouped up I could warp, teleport, do whatever the hell i wanted without any issues, visit the system he's in via Nexus, all was fine
So there is something about Nexus only
So what if it is going to be multiverses, could a new planned story possibly explain that?
What I didnt try was linking up when we were both in the same system separately
As I saw him just flying around and he didn't have a headset sadly
If that works then maybe you just both need to be in the same system for now?
For example in the networking menu I could only invite not join with my steam friends if I was already in game
But not outside steam
It intrigues me and I wonder what it must be like to tackle a problem like implementing full on cross-play. I bet our worries are small compared to what the devs have to deal with. Amaze us HG! You can do it!
Would be a whole lot easier if the game had yet to be released. Not so much after years of gameplay while expanding to other platforms and at the same time trying to keep your customers happy
not in the OOP era 🙂
everything is being developed modulary, which makes it much easier to built in or replace certain blocks
Does the atlas missions just end with putting the sun thing into the atlas
Yes
Damn that's lame :(
is there a working dupe glitch?
So, anything interesting happened so far?
@mental socket nope
Someone mentioned there are new audio files in the experimental. Are those all just music or what?
I've heard around a 100 files and there is quite a lot of music
But there are 5276 new audio files so...
Hm? Do I hear talk of music? Do tell...
@mental socket over a thousand sound files. Some are thought to be new music. They are In some different format (WEM?)
I doubt it. Anything related to the weekend missions would have been detected in the text files
Where we found the story
And is the music just a bunch of old 65DOS stuff?
I haven't heard anything I had heard before in the new audio
Hmm, so what kind of vibes does the music give?
Well, at least the music
NO FREE SLOTS IN SUIT INVENTORY
There is a lot of ambient noise, so that could be old
@mental socket UNITS RECEIVED
LIFE SUPPORT POWER LOW
WEATHER WARNING : INCOMING STORM
ALERT: HOSTILE SCAN DETECTED
WARNING : HOSTILE SHIPS APPROACHING
CRITICAL DAMAGE TA- okay I'll stop.
Yup, before a mod sees us 👀
Wow this chat first glance causes great anxiety
I need to know
can xbox players be in a session with more than 4 people now
in beta
Groups, I feel, will always be capped at four.
Sessions, in contrast, have always been capped at 16 for consoles.
sessions in anomaly have been capped to 16
but in wild, consoles can only have 4 player sessions
atleast on ps4
I've seen portal destinations with more people.
I've only seen up to 4 ppl on events and stuff
ps4 pro
ah, it's 8 outside anomaly on console
34 on PC
playing both
One clue to increasing player caps (if it were to ever happen) would be an increased # of parking spaces.
Oh, a question. I saw the word "hangar" in one of those datamining screenshots. Is that likely just a reference to the freighter parking area, or is there a decent chance it suggests something new?
What is... "the Abyss?"
A long ass film featuring Ed Harris! Haha - it was the update that introduced under water exploration
I think they are asking about The Entity...? Or am I assuming wrong..?
most of it was old files
@mental socket damn I was hoping that we are having new fixed structures in space like shipyards aside from the ole space station
Or even military or pirate bases
Sure;
Crossplay. For more information read above.
And new living ship parts, and the entirety of the upcoming weekend mission storyline
Well, ALMOST the entirety
they broke all the hills and slopes
Who do the robots who contain the creatures found in containment facilities serve? Are they sentinels?
What
velvet hills of carpet, yeah that doesn't look great lol
See Hazard Containment Field: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Space_Encounter
I mean, there is something that captures these creatures, and it doesn't appear to serve the abyss.
Sentinels don't appear to wipe out these creatures either, but sentinels don't do anything on anomaly planets either.
These things are from alternate universes, ones which have different histories than our own. Some have some aggressive sentinels while others may have no life. The sentinels in our iteration are glitches, bot under the command if the atlas
Glitches? Is there anything to support that?
What makes you think sentinels aren't an intended function of the simulation?
No, those are alternate universe sentinels.
The atlas has reported thousands of issues with it
Play the Artemis path
The part where you first see the atlas
These sentinels don't try to destroy all life, unlike the universe where Nada came from. Nada and -Null- went to another universe.
Some things certainly leaked, but sentinels don't appear to be it.
If anything, sentinels in that universe got corrupted by the Abyss.
But what issues are we talking here?
The atlas has attempted to command the sentinels, yet in the Artemis path, Subroutine: SENTINAL is heavily damaged, with lots of errors
That doesn't tell you anything, just that there are problems, but not where. Those problems can be anything, even having sentinels appear on worlds they shouldn't.
Sentinels in Nada's universe where fighting each other as well.
What I'm saying is that Nada, Polo and -null- simply left that universe behind. That universe wasn't deleted or destroyed, the sentinels were just left by their own devices. -Null- did not reset the simulation.
But Telamon did. In one of the boundary failure logs its mentioned that that specific universe was deleted from the universal hierarchy
That makes sense.
oh boy
I first thought it was a glitch
but it's a scripted moment in the story 😛
beyond 😄
Artemis path?
Woah woah woah
I cant belive I missed this!
The weekend missions talk about a cult of gek from the Last Spawn
last spawn lmao
No, the Last spawn
The Gek last spawn
At first I thought this was a typo, but the last spawn has been mentioned a lot in the missions
Is it compiled somewhere?
Are we getting an actual antagonist? Maybe the last spawn, which has been hiding till now, will rise again and start killing everyone?
Or the abyss could be the antagonist?
@indigo smelt
Yea. Here you go : Changes in NMS_LOC5_ENGLISH https://pastebin.com/yAyT0N7v
Thanks to Devillin Pixy
Oh yea I forgot to mention. They praise the abyss
Yes! More Abyss lore!
Finally!
Who was ariadne again?
Maybe the abyss will control these geks and command them to destroy everything!
@indigo smelt the cat faced purple dude who greets you
On the first time you visit the anomaly
This is interesting. The abyss wants traveler souls it seems.
Yea. I feel like the abyss is very hungry for power and control
This is one hell of a discovery:
Id: UI_MP_PORTALQUEST_BLD_RES_21
Value: I see the final vestiges of the AI as all corruption departs, the final fifteen minutes of its life...
It knew I would come here. It knew I would try to save it.
Worlds upon worlds seethe in the void. The Abyss spreads.
@outer cobalt Thank you for your lore compilation. You helped me towards a breakthrough in my lore project.
Mind sharing?
We're not there yet.
What's it about?
Getting a full picture of the Abyss.
Hmmm wondering if it'd be a good idea to finally do the abyss storyline. Wanted to wait to do it until there was more variety underwater but if the upcoming story missions are connected to it I might do it
I consider the abyss quest to be a tease more or less.
@indigo smelt No problem, you're welcome
Haha I might’ve been right with my own theory as well
lmao
Tbf it was fairly common. It was that ||the abyss is a manifestation of atlas dying. Like an emotional response such as rampancy or quite literally just the black void of nothingness swallowing it whole||
||Which is what abyss is with the word||
||And that scene described that was leaked is just like the one in remembrance. We approach it while its systems are failing just like the figure in the light and the dark. Since we are simulated forms of the creator, we could break through the chain of simulations and offer solace to the atlas just like it wanted in the completion of 16!
And one other thing—a mirror reflects light and darkness. If the figure is mirrored, it would be in the light and darkness. We could break through the world of glass hosting all simulations to save the atlas and become glassed ourselves. But that’s just a theory||
Essay done
Hold up
Is that
Datamined dialog or something?
Who tf is Ariadne?
Oh the brain head dude
Ok some creepy ass shit's gonna happen in this.
spooki
Whooooa
Ariadne is the purple at the left side of the anomaly, just after the ramp near the landing pads.
Wait
If atlas is created by someone does that mean there’s a bigger world outside of him
Yes woman’s sky confirmed
Not bigger. Just real.
Considering the simulation is running on PC, PS4 and XBox, would you say there is 3 Atlas ?
I would say it’s more like one Atlas with three iterations of the same thing (soon to be one iteration of course 😉)
Correct (was my first intention, but english is not my main)
So basicly, crossplatform means fusion of the 3 iterations of a same "program" ?
Basically
Thanks for answering
👍 If you are excite for new update
👉
I doubt HG is merging universes
Your iteration itself might end up being a unique region where crossplay happens
So I'm speculating but what if they show a trailer at the PS5 event
Thursday
Maybe a crossplay 'announcement'
Actually nevermind, I think crossplay will hit way earlier than next gen
Yea the update is rumored for this month so the announcement may be at the PS5 event.. We could possibly see NMS running on a PS5 Thursday
Steam Sub 331913 was added 5 hours ago
can anyone confirm what kind of package this is?
is it anything to be excited of?
it looks like nms was added to it 6 hours ago, but that package has existed for a while
it has a bunch of other games in it, not sure what it's for. but some of them were added months ago
i think maybe nms was already on there or something, the change that caused it to float to the top was an update to a different game in that package (Beam NG)
maybe they're lumped together by their tags or something, a lot of the games in there are marked as simulators or survival
Nothing new. Just a record change
yeah it doesn't mean anything for nms
I’m actually hella hyped for crossplay
Or actual forests
wouldn't any prior PS games go to the next gen?
Apologies in advance if this has already been shared/discussed, but good info here about the superformula stuff everyone's been arguing about/speculating on:
https://youtu.be/tg9qTZhc1SQ
(not my video, not affiliated)
It's from MZK, earlier today
/16/16/16
Like I said. The timing is suspicious
The license for the superformula expiring
Well it would be weird if they had planned to wait for 4 years until they could use the superformula, trusting that nobody would renew the trademark/lisence as it expires
Would be a really risky plan with a high potential for the entire development time to be wasted
Maybe they had put some folks on a side R&D project, as an option.
But that's getting deeper into speculation and I shouldn't go there.
I hope so to. The information has been correct so far but I'll still doubt it just to be safe
Oooo that was really interesting video.. What if the original first trailer was using the superformula but it got copyright striked so Hello Games removed it before launch?
Unfortunately that’s not the case. It’s a widely established fact that the planets and events of the pre release trailers were heavily handcrafted, and those that were procedural still had very tight generational parameters to reach a specific outcome.
As much as I would love to play a game as varietous as the one portrayed in those trailers,
That game just didn’t ever really exist.
It possibly could with this superformula tho
I just hope to see worlds like this someday
The 1st and 2nd can be done though mods
But I wish HG could actually incorporate them in vanilla
They can... They had for points to focus on remember ? Trade Explore Survive and one more. I think those we're the main things they wanted to improve upon
Trade Explore Survive Fight
WHAT SUPERFORMULA
A special formula that can form a large amount of shapes and stuff. It would have been used to create unique flora, fauna, rocks, terrain
Ah
and why is this not used?
Man, those pictures look awesome
i want to find a purely ice world someday
not a lush world with snow
They got into legal trouble because the scientist who created it had a copyright on it
But now that expired so they are free to use it
Same
if ive learned anything from hg its that silence is golden
when they dont say or do anything for a while
big shit coming
Out of all those images up there, my favorite is the ice one
Yup, they all look good. I like it cause ice worlds look eh now, they hqve the biggest forests but least variety
they all look the same
That pretty much goes for any biome
Ya, but frozen is the extreme case
Lush to a lesser extent
but still up there
and pretty much wverything else besides like radioactive and desert
The ones that have the worst case are ice, radioactive, desert, hot
And also technically exotics when you think about it
True
Lush is the only one with any actual color variety and that's about it. But even then the colors are limited
If we don't get a variation overhaul any time soon then I'm just going to use the variation mods. And then MV when that comes out
They can... They had for points to focus on remember ? Trade Explore Survive and one more. I think those we're the main things they wanted to improve upon
@uncut harness It's a shame that the combat is so bad that it is being forgotten... despite it being included in the original 4 pillars
I'm digging those anomalous planets (scarlet, haunted emeril, chromatic fog, etc). They are still varied to a lesser extent and not like the primary offenders in arctic, hot, toxic, nuclear, empty planets
And there is always the added spookiness and mysterious vibe
True but they could do so much more with them
Yeah, even if they added new biomes but refuse to fix the variation for each biome then the problem still isn't solved
Or just...make biomes procedural. It would fix many things about variation
But yeah just piling on a few biomes won't fix the problem. It needs to be improved on a major level
Let the engine/math create its own biomes
The engine is capable of so much more yet they aren't utilizing it to its full potential
Terrain generation can be limited by current gen hardware, but color variation isn't
Well we aren't entirely sure how crazy terrain can get before it affects performance in console
Besides I don't think it's much of an excuse. Pre next had better crazier terrain yet it was running on the ps4
And tbh kinda ran better, lol
less stuff happening & lower res = better performance
Variation and Exploration took a back seat so HG can focus on other elements such as base building and multiplayer. But all that is in a good spot now I believe. Now HG can focus on the Proc Gen and Variety in the game
🤔
Hm no news from HG still ?
nope
Nope but this Superformula is starting to make more and more sense
TOMORROW
yes
YES
yes
YEEEEESSSSS
Oooo
Because a gem like this can't just disappear.
This is what HD was meant for.
yes
No Variety improvements
No variety improvements.... yet
we can still hope
some nice bugfixes in those patch notes
@sinful saddle I'm sticking to my theory... They'll show a trailer at the PS5 event that shows off new proc gen and better variety and maybe even the a new universe reset and planets that orbit the star
I still wonder how will they handle ambient exploration. When all platforms have different universe seed. 🤔
Unless it will be based on a host (player who will enter the star system as first).
What do you mean by different seeds? I believe all universes use the same number seed, making them all basically identical. They of course become different as a result of player actions, but that wouldnt change the starting seed.
I thought that each platform used different seed for universe. 🤔 But it seems that since Beyond they are all same. 🤔
I dont think so. I think every region, system, procedural planet name, etc starts the same in all platforms.
I don't know how it works, but, if I recall correctly, pc and xbox universes were indentical but not the ps4?
Somehow Multitool cabinets are platform specific
Both in terms of models and class
It will be interesting to see how that sort of thing works out
They haven't for awhile @strong bluff
@sinful saddle iirc PS4 becoming different was a bug that they fixed later on
didn't know that, cool!
yes
yes
nah
Eh I mean it's a possibility they announce a PS5 next Gen update but I think it's just as likely that they will do things on their own schedule
what about modding and crossplay ? any consequence ?
Btw, haven't bothered to check so dunno but I take it with crossplay GOG & Steam folks can now play together?
I think I saw icons somewhere that included GOG different from Steam, so guessing @crisp fern
@balmy nimbus modding usually doesn't affect other players too much, it will probably work like it does now on PC, if you have mods that usually doesn't effect other players. Since they haven't done anything to stop it on PC I doubt they would do anything about it for crossplay
I was thinking about consoles with modded pc. Thanks for answering
@tall vessel yeah, I saw those too, I just haven't seen any GOG folks chip in having seen others. I'm guessing yes too though
I'd assume so yeah, can't see any reason why GOG wouldn't be included
So is it just a myth that you get more lush planets outside of Euclid?
Also, in case you’re confused, it’s not that the planets are more lush
There’s just a higher proportion of lush planets
Which galaxy is it again, with more exotic and anomalous planet types?
if I'm not mistaken, for the last part of the void egg, do I need to go through a blackhole?
When touched, conjures a powerful visions of pink and blue, colours seared into the mind of the holder
nvm, I figured it out
The leaker made another post about Proc Gen
Which galaxy is it again, with more exotic and anomalous planet types?
@craggy sluice You're probably thinking of Harsh or maybe Empty galaxies. But I think the higher rate might actually be based on the higher number of red/empty systems.
Which galaxy, out of the four accessible at ||the end of the Artemis Path,|| fits the bill?
@heady wyvern ||Burning, Raging, Relentless or Ruthless||
Most likely
Those are Harsh
I thought it was Budullangr
Question was about exotic or anomalous planets, not extreme hazard planets.
And we're looking for a specific galaxy.
Budullangr is Empty
Then that's your answer, @craggy sluice.
And yeah, I was referring to Weird planets
They are easier to find in red star systems, which are more common in Empty and Harsh galaxyes
The leaker made another post about Proc Gen
@uncut harness What did they say?
Link?
@idle jay he said that he was right about the crossplay and weekend missions and then went on to say he's right about the Proc Gen improvements and HG is preparing something this week.. Maybe we'll see a trailer at the PS5 event tomorrow?
Oh trust me I'm holding my hype cause his first post was removed from 4chan. And so far no sign of anything but crossplay
And the update is tomorrow, mind.
Weren't signs of possible crossplay before this? Like the icons, for example?
Yes, those were datamined beforehand.
The first leak is a week old.. Crossplay was data mined this week right?
Plus why haven't they released an update trailer?
They have a development blog update.
'cause this isn't technically a content update
They all but said in the announcement that tomorrow's update isn't focused on content.
How do I evolve
What do you mean?
Highlight the installed upgrade and hold the "use" key. This requires nanites. @austere igloo
Does anyone have screenshots of the new space whale stuff? idk if they are really space whales but whatever large things that were added into the space lmao.
@alpine furnace Sounds like you are talking about the Living Ship update:
https://www.nomanssky.com/living-ship-update/
Yes the space encounters
Okay I just looked up some discoveries and it seems to be exactly what I hoped for
Is there only a small amount of things or are there potentially lots of undiscovered things?
Like how there is only a few types of special planets
STEAM INTERNAL WAS UPDATED 2 HOURS AGO
thats right.
update is out soon
now
Nothing spoilery new in the text.
Nothing, that's what I meant.
Sorry read that wrong
ah yes, update has been out for less than an hour and people have already decompiled and dug through it
I got da minecart ready
There's nothing interesting new in the text, and I doubt there's going to be anything new in the other files since a couple of days ago.
it's possible there is no clue of new weekend missions in the mined data because, as HG said, they've reworked the entire backend network achitecture. Maybe they can hot-push new events, quest and so
Do you think that there will be events this week like that 4chan leak said/.
Even if they do start this weekend, they wont be like the "leak"
The "Leak" says they will be like an in game ARG, but datamined text shows that they will most likely still be the same fetch quest
the leak for the weekend story events came out a day after they said there would be new story content for the weekend missions, so wasn't rly a leak
they just added on that it would be an arg
also crossplay has been asked for for awhile so it's not crazy to include that in a "leak"
and the schedule for the weekend events is in the files, with the next one being this week. so they couldve just seen that too
not that i dnt want stuff to happen, its jsut that all the stuff in the leak that is "proven" was proven before the person posted it so it isnt rly that impressive
After you get to the center of the Galaxy can you keep playing or naw?
Yes
:D
Do screenshots of space anomalies count as spoilers?
I think not
hmm, I'll wait for someone that 100% knows for sure
I've seen people posting pics inside anomaly before in #no-mans-sky
Oh, my bad. I've seen child of helios getting posted in #nms-photomode-gallery
I've seen people talk about those encounters in many places... but I'm still not entirely sure what the community consensus is.
guess I'll just put it in #nms-photomode-gallery and deal with the trouble if it comes
the community consensus is lol game about exploration? LEMME SHOW U WHAT U CAN FIND
and then undermines a lot of the point of exploration because there's not enough weird stuff to find 😔
I remember I got all excited when NEXT came out and I found one of those terminal towers by itself (not from a mission) and it had coded text. then I went online and reddit had already discovered everything, i think someone had datamined the text. really deflated what could have been a cool moment.
ah yeah maybe it was AR
theres loads of wiered stuff to find. but you can only screenshot it.
Its pointless sharing the above screenshot as, riding a portal to those co-ordinates is not going to let you visit the artifact.
(unless you fly around for hours burning fuel hoping to trigger the event)
To make the game an actual exploration game Sean would need to make it possible to deterministically re-find giant floating eyeballs using co-ordinates that we could upload / download.
And then, to close the loop.
The game could count how many giant floating eyeballs weve visited in the achievement counter.
and number stations, and so on.
Isn't there some website to upload discoveries?
There is also official Atlas website of Euclid Galaxy. 🤔
Isn't there some website to upload discoveries?
@strong bluff https://atlascodex.space 😉
@slender idol There is the website above.
Any spoilers
The weekend missions are back
Properly
This time
And they are indeed what we datamined
nothing?
it just seems like all of the new text that was datamined is going to be split up over several weeks
Yep
It abruptly cut off in the files so I assume the ending is new
Or something we dont know
cool
To be honest, they must know that the community datamines things, so its very possible they did that on purpose
i don't generally have a problem with datamining, but I don't know why people would intentionally read the plot of the missions if they plan to do them, because without the narrative carrot they are tedious grindfests with no payoff
yep
Exactly
I just sorta tried figuring out if the text mentioned a new mechanic or something
i didnt read very deep. just saw a couple new things and recognized a little in the mission
idk what the story is gonna be though
there is a lot of non spoiling info in there that shows it will be spread out though
is there an item needed for the weekend mission?
Weekend Item is: ||16 Vortex Cubes||
Weekend missions are back? Oooo fetch quest or actual story?
Both
To make the game an actual exploration game Sean would need to make it possible to deterministically re-find giant floating eyeballs using co-ordinates that we could upload / download.
@slender idol or they could make navigation more involved and require thinking about the biome & terrain you're encountering rather than going, "pretty place" and then melee jetpacking about gathering vendor trash to sell
i don't generally have a problem with datamining, but I don't know why people would intentionally read the plot of the missions if they plan to do them, because without the narrative carrot they are tedious grindfests with no payoff
@glass flare 🤔 but if you can get most of the carrot without even doing the mission, how is it a carrot anyway.
just pop by the Nexus, grab the mission, talk to folks, then neglect to do it because really talking to them probably gave you a decent chunk of the narrative, lol
i don't even do the missions tbh, the lore they give out isn't that exciting. i was just speaking in generalities
yeah i get that, it just got me thinking tho
i feel like you really can get the bulk of the weekend missions' gist from the description and the pre-mission talk to folks more than much you get at the destination
so even if the narrative was intended as a carrot, it's completely backwards, lol
well, yeah that's true. i guess the actual carrot for most people is just the QS to get items
Boo
Booo
What the hell is this that I randomly found?
A useless lore terminal boundary failure.
You read lore, I guess.
There's a terminal on the thicker end.
Thanks
fun fact: originally they were supposed to be weather towers https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1EnXG
they were in one of the pre-release trailers, and then disappeared until I think Atlas Rises
HG could definitely do a better job at making snowstorms feel more realistic
As an aside, Hello should make storms happen for everyone on the same playfield - yesterday my son was in the middle of a radiation storm and I was stood next to him, without any storm at all...
uare on the same planet be lucky for that first
some didnt even have been able to play together
Hey, is there a way to stay on the sentinel planet?
On the one with weird glitched parts
You are there for a moment and then it sends you to Atlas
u can find them in the wild
Which galaxy should I pick?
I went eissentam (the green one). No regrets yet.
I feel like most people choose the lush one so I chose raging
i went blue
lol
I got to the teal one I think off an Uber
When do I get too choose whether or not I can continue the main storyline or explore?

That’s how it’s done
That’s an ID and a half
Now that was epic. 😳
Whats the best galaxy to go to in the atlas ending
Depends on what kind of planets you like
Do they look any different from eachother?
Like planet generation or anything like that
Depending on which galaxy you choose it affects the spawn rates of certain planet types
The four types are Empty, Harsh, Lush, and Normal galaxies
Empty increases the chance for airless planets
Harsh increases the chance for extreme storms, aggressive fauna, sentinels
Lush increases the chance for lush planets
And normal is just the same as Euclid
Does it effect the people that you see in the traveller (i think thats what its called)?
The anomaly?
Yea
As far as I know you should still be able to see them
Like can you see people from Euclid if you're in a different galaxy
I believe so. I’m not sure myself because I never tested it
Something I would recommend though is making sure you have a base in Euclid before moving to the next galaxy. That way you can always go back if you want
The same goes for if you want to go back to the new galaxy. Make sure you have a base there
I always try to make bases on cool looking planets
So i have like 20 in euclid lol
But thanks for the info
hello, ominous floating orb
🙂 happy for you, @scarlet anchor
The last time i talked to them I got thrown on an extreme weather planet away from my ship, so I’m not happy for me
IM SORRY??
hehe
lol
"16 Seconds"
Apparently 16 seconds for the Atlas is like 800 Trillion years or whtever
uhhhhh, did the weekend missions resume?
Yeah I think
finished one 30 min ago
im surprised them restarting didnt get more of a mention (especially since this is the start of some actual storyline tied to them)
that's because even HG knows the only reason people do them @cloud epoch is for the quicksilver
So when in the story do I get to choose to explore or continue the quest line
Anytime you want.
After getting quest to travel to the Center of the Galaxy (as part of Artemis Path) to purge the simulation, you´ll get a choice to either continue with the quest, explore on your own or go to Atlas Path. But all it does is only set a mission as active. So it´s really your choice whenever whatever you want to do. Aside of first tutorial quests.
Which I think consist of first three star systems?
do i learn all the glyphs from the 16/16 mission?
@tired mason Yis.
Yes.
However you spell it.
Actually, I think it was "The Purge" where your learn it...
So i actually have to go to the center of the galaxy to get them?
i just want the glyphs so i can get an exotic ship lol
To get the glyphs and stay in euclid, should I seek the final interface, complete the atlas path, or explore the galaxy?
so was the ending of this season of events datamined?
I remember it was missing some stuff in experimental
So like what's the big deal with the event
it seemed about the same to me
with some fairly interesting pieces of lroe
lore
but that's about it
People are saying that 'Abyss' is like an anti-Atlas
The video I watch said that Abyss has been mentioned a few times all the way since Atlas Rises
And that it and/or possibly a new enemy type will be coming in the 3.0 update
I should also add that Sean said he's getting the Atlas Rises writer to come back, and he was going to write a story for one of the upcoming weekend events.
And I think I remember reading that there was going to be a brief pause in the weekend events prior to it.
Last I recall, the Weekend Mission break ended, like, Friday.
Oh really?
I just knew it was gonna happen, not when.
Was probably at work then.
Beginning this weekend, there will be a short pause between seasons of weekend missions. These will be returning very soon, featuring new story content we’re really enjoying from one of the writers on Atlas Rises.
about to walk through final portal
30th cry out later
its now asking me to build remembrance...was wondering why i got all those BPS
EVERYTHING is broke. game end. thanks game
im now dieing repeatedly
I should also add that Sean said he's getting the Atlas Rises writer to come back, and he was going to write a story for one of the upcoming weekend events.
@zinc bough I saw that in a tweet a little while back, and I feel like maybe that's not such a great selling point on the kind of writing we're going to be getting with the upcoming content. I'm only basing that on Atlas Rises, though, no idea what else they've written.
I guess...maybe it was just me
Not just you, for what it's worth
There was only really one moment in the whole thing, during A Leap in the Dark as I recall, that made me go, "Huh, whoa"
The rest felt like embellished tutorialization for the most part
I'unno, I liked it.
It's better than the "story" the game launched with.
72 votes and 28 comments so far on Reddit
I'unno, I'm hyped for the idea.
Time to fire or box in our Korvax specialists
Holy crap I just membered that message
Something coming out of the waves
And the last event had messages like: the water is perfectly safe to drink
Though given the symbolism waves can relate to anything, like the very fabric of reality
There's also that Traveler who advises us not to drink the water
They've got bad water PTSD
lol
oh no the korvax is about to get enslaved by the gek! oh no he cant hear us! he has airpods in!
Heh, hey dat was my reddit post. I was hoping The Abyss update would have stuff related to it but it was just water stuff, so that was okay I guess.
Honestly I got worried they forgot the abyss lore, glad to be wrong
From what they said about getting the Atlas Rises writer back, its possible they abandoned it when that person left, and decided to resume it now.
To be fair it was also not the easiest bit of lore to get either so its only recently that people really know about it more.
guys i need small help
i was going atlas mission line
wanted to get sun heart
recipe
but i
acidently rejected him and now i don't even have that mission
what should i do
?
i think you can talk to polo in the anomaly and ask for atlas station coordinates
idk if that works for if you have declined but im pretty sure it does
well i reverced save
which was after i rejected him
but looks like it worekd 😄
xd...
oh thats interesting
maybe it only saved the interaction for that session or something
well im glad it worked for you
xd..
Uuuum what are those and what do i do now
Each one leads to a different galaxy
so i just choose one? or the colours mean something
I forgot which is which but each one has different spawn rates for different biomes
Yeah, should be a list on the wiki somewhere.
Like I think there's a tranquil one (or something to that effect) and that has more lush
Yeah that's Eissentam!
uuum
Ima go red i guess
I think that might mean more dangerous
What is that room idk what it does
What room, again?
@sullen drift Well, the Abyss itself is associated with bad water, and the water update was the Abyss Update.
Sorry for the ping :v
Ah its alright pal, And yeah fair point, I guess they never had to outright mention the abyss to make the connections with its seemingly wide ocean and water related presence.
Whatever you do, don't drink the water. :0
Another theory I heard is that the Abyss is responsible for the Abominations and Horrors
That would make sense, and it would be cool to see those be more than just random creatures at abandoned buildings
What do you get for completing the Dreams of the Deep anyway?
Underwater blueprints?
Which awkwardly can't be colored except the light.
Yah but still my favorite helmet
Any predictions on when an update could get announced?
No but the 4chan post is right so far
the stuff it was right about came before the leak except for crossplay which has been a requested feature for a while
Yea but he said the weekends missions would introduce a new enemy type
they also said HG would be "dropping something" last week and all they did was start the weekend events which didn't have anything yet, and was obvious from the game files
he said that but it hasn't happened
Yea but the mission did hint a new threat
i have gone through the missions (except for the lore ause I dont wanna spoil) and none of it involves new enemies
i want the leak to be true but i dont believe a 4chan person right now
He didn't say a new enemy would be in the missions . he said it would hint to a new enemy.. And the first weekend mission mentioned a threat coming
idk i feel like every weekend mission or lore addition has talked about a looming threat so its not that surprising to me
That threat may come this summer
We've pretty much been trying to stop the Atlas from shitting itself ever since the weekend missions started after Beyond.
We've been dealing with (a) threat this whole time.
It's gotta lead to something tho right?
Yep. Wait and see.
With next gen coming I do see a overhaul happening
Maybe a summer content update with gameplay features and a holiday generation overhaul or something?
Hey. I installed rememberance and after that it asked me to find a atlas Station. I went to apolo to get the point. I then leave and go to galaxy map. But there is no atlas station?.
@gloomy isle there is a summer update planned
Likely around The Anniversary in my opinion
Tbh I don't think next gen consoles would be required for a variation overhaul
If they have ambitious plans for next gen I kinda hope the proc gen and variety update stays in the oven a little longer for it.
If anything would mean an improved variation overhaul then I'm fine with it
I just don't really think next-gen consoles would be a necessary component to accomplish it
May not be, depends on the changes they have in mind
If your looking for a nice story then yes
The gameplay for that path however...is another thing
do I meet Artemis always on same planet type? or it is random generated planet? because I had to talk in crazy toxic planet with storms where no way to read lines xD
It is different each time
it was crazy xD I had to go in very high structure using ladders ,and there was no protection and when I started to talk storm started (on this planet it is quite normal that storm every few minutes), and I had to jump out from high and esceape to ship in last seconds
not sure if I had secondary protecion charged
Dude why did Artemis and apollo have to die ;-;
Apollo's death hit harder than Artemis' imo
They didn't die (at least Artemis) but were sort of stuck in some loop or corruption when they went through the portal to the Atlas. Though that's a big plot hole because we are told in story that using a portal is deadly, but then we can use it anytime outside of the story and nothing bad happens to us.
#DeleteArtemis
Or put her into a simulation in the simulation...
same
Then we find out that we are part of even bigger simulation too. 
What if we've been Artemis all along
Or Artemis is our older self? (Before the restart before us waking up in Euclid?)🤔
The real Artemis is the friends we made along the way
Probably.
Artemis is kil
Hoi dataminers. Anyone mind sharing all of the new audio tracks they added? Would love to listen to those





Me when the August update will only be about a new ByteBeat box
@latent oracle it did because it was right after Artemis’ and Apollo had given me all this cool stuff and then he just died ;-;
Artemis just asked for help but it still hit hard
I chose to kill Artemis because if he was put into a simulation I didn’t want him to think I abandoned him so I killed him so he could look down and say damn that guy did some tedious ass quest to keep me alive
How many weeks long is the new weekly story?
Could give us a time frame for the next biggie
I saw I think 14-15 new entries in the mission table referencing weekly
So something like 3 to 5 missions ?
make asteroid go boom
or skkrrrrra
Uhhhh is Atlas evil?
I usually just let every thing take over me coz I wanna see what happens but I got a real bad feeling about this one
I can either scream, rejoice or submit and I’ll be honest I don’t wanna do any of those
I rejoiced
But Choose
The story doesent end there
That’s all ill say
I’m only a little ahead of you
You're just a little confused, is all.
If only you could land on the thingy on the asteroid
I feel really bad for my scientist he’s having a full on breakdown and is now referring to my beacon as his child
I’m not judging, if it makes him happy he can do his thing and hell I dunno if he’s actually capable of creating a sentient being from a beacon but what I’ve seen so far I wouldn’t be surprised
Hey, it gets a whole lot worse
anyone on pc wanna help me find a portal so i can finish my living ship quest
anyone wanna chill in vc and talk about lore
Ariadne is gone.... THIS looks interesting 🙂
wut?
Ariadne said she would go to face the problem. She did it
She's not in the Anomaly anymore
I think that's the cat alien on the ramp isn't it?
it is
😕
I had to speak to her for the weekend mission. Will she be back?
How long do they stay away for??
Oh ok.
plot twist: Ariadne is the Abyss itself
Oh. So this is new for every player?
yeah that she is gone
Ok. I see why you are speaking about it. I didn't think it was anything that hasn't happened before.
we uncovered her, so runs away from us
she always was at the anomaly
infiltrated
Now this makes me excited. I can only think how much this is getting old players guessing lol
For us new players everything is new. I did think that this has happened before lol
For us new players everything is new. I did think that this has happened before lol
@uncut harness take a look https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan
but i never thought she would fucking go from it
What is this Brolo?
the lore behind NMS
Oh ok. I don't know what any of this means.
Real life puzzles?
yep
Wow. That's hecking cool.
was very exciting
omg, now is when the fun begins
its conected to waking titan
@hybrid pendant explain please ^^
Wow there's so much stuff on that website.
yes, the ARG took long
This is like a side story for No Mans Sky?
the origin indeed
That is one of the coolest things I think I've seen for any game.
and there're a lot of hints ingame
I did the abyss story in the game because I was told the weekend missions are kind of but mostly not part of that story.
It did help a little bit. Although I have only done 1 weekend mission so far lol
until now the weekend missions has been kinda "casual"... it's supposed to be more notorius and lore connected now
should be the "prequel" for future update
There's so many branches on the story that it's hard to keep up. I am slowly remembering some stuff that is happening.
some "Atlas pass v3 rooms" interactions gives goosebumps to me, remembering Waking Titan
uhm... this is still active
The Atlas Foundation’s Citizen Science Division is a way for you to participate in some of the most landmark research projects of our time.
What is the ... least confusing way to play the quest lines :- Artemis first or Atlas path first?
The quest text in both lines seemingly ignores the fact that you've encountered the atlas in the other, or Im just doing things out of sequence again...
Is there a lest-jarring way of playing this games storyline.
I was paying extra special attention this time, and I Still don't know what the initiating event is that is calling me to find the first atlas interface on the atlas path.
No
🤔
I would play Artemis first.
But it doesn´t matter.
Also Atlas path requires you to grind Milestones to progress.
Artemis path not.
And also - first quests of Artemis path are mandatory as tutorial quests and without them majority of the game features will be locked to you.
So there you have your answer. 
who died?
no ones alive, its all a simulation
That's what they want you think
or, there are zero hints in the storyline that we are outside the atlas. indeed its explicit that we are in an atlas. and we meet an atlas simulation. and run a diagnostic on it. And we are its creator.
so our altas is, itself, doubtless, just a simulation being used to diagnose an issue with an outer atlas
I liked the story too. Though after finishing the Artemis Path, the story continues (sort of). If you make Rememberance (which also requires completing ATlas path to get blueprints for Heart of the STar and all Atlas seeds which you need for it) and then in space stations you can access Atlas´s memories.
Sad part of story.
Well, you access part of story outside of Atlas by the mentioned Rememberance.
Also you need Atlas Key card level 3 for that.
(Or Atlas pass?).
Also one thing I wonder - after the Purge it seems that Nada and Pollo in Anomaly forgot about everything what happened. (Or don´t care anymore.)
yes. and you interact with inner atlas simulations. which are the same as your own atlas. implying there is an outer atlas with you looking on as its creator.
well, an outer you
Because when I entered Anomaly again ("Visit your old friends" Anomaly quest), they started welcoming me as somebody new and when I tried to told them truth, they didn´t care.
So even Anomaly, besides of being between space and time, is influenced by Galaxy purge? 🤔
And yes. I wonder in the space stations where we access Atlas´s memories through Rememberance in Atlas pass 3 rooms, I wonder if the computer we see there if it´s how Atlas looks outside of simulation. 🤔
why not? its a simulation of the atlas
@slender idol So protagonist is Atlas´s creator? Or Atlas tried to simulate his creator by making a Traveller entity similar to him? 🤔
@hybrid pendant
Ph ariadne will be back soon no worry
Because in one memories, when the creator abandons Atlas, he asks it if it wants to die and Atlas responds that no, if it can remember its creator.
Itll take a few weekend missions though
and, presumably, in that simulation, which contains your own life in it. which you see played out. including the very events of visiting an atlas super computer. You would see your simulated self visiting a simulated atlas
So, if the n+1 atlas looks like the atlas you are at
then the n-1 must too
And then there is a big story about how ariadne isnt actually back. They died and were replaced by a copy made by the abyss I belive.
Also on Wiki, I have found that player isn´t Traveller entity, but is instead Anomaly race, which is supposed to look like humans and thus Atlas´s creator.
Unless they just made it as default skin for player character.
Next update should allow you to upload a pic of yourself, and make a model out of it, cause meta or something
@strong bluff the core paradox of the games events is, each simulated iteration of you has to discover the atlas complex. Built however the altas contrived to have it built. But its always you that starts the {{hello world}} diagnostic. and then watches the whole world run from start to finish.
and, in that simulation, your character is going to encounter an atlas. which they will run a diagnostic on. and that atlas will run a simulation of all of creation from start to finish, including your own life
and so, in turn, in that simulation.....
So basically Atlas now does the simulation in order to stay in contact with its creator, because it feels lonely? (Even though simulated one...) 🤔
The continued simulations could be why there's issues.
Or it´s just broken and in loop due it dying?
So, every atlas simulation, n, contains an atlas simulation, n+1 which a simulation of you runs.
and we are clearly in an atlas simulation. Which means there is a simulation n-1 behind us.
Can't accurately simulate itself, so each iteration becomes more and more flawed.
What is the first and the ultimate simulation though then? 🤔
who knows.
the increasing drift from the original problem might be the cause of the boundry failures.
the infinite recursion
the strange confusion the quest text alludes to when you are running the simulations implies that maybe your personality (as the creator) is bleeding between atlas simulations, so the boundry failure isnt horizontal, its vertical between the n and n-1 atlas simulations.
@grizzled apex why u say she will be back
Oh I've read the weekend mission story
Its.... interesting
Definitely better than before
hey question
can Black holes show up as space encounters?
Cause one just did
might be my mods, so thanks for that Exo!
I think they can.
Yeah they can.
thats cool
Rogue black holes. And also teleporters, which teleport you between systems, but without damaging you.
You can pick the type of galaxy you go to after quest line?
Yep. At end of Artemis Path.
Generally they are normal (like Euclid), Harsh (more planets with extreme conditions), Anomalous/Exhausted (more empty and exotic planets) and Lush (more lush planets).
Then you get teleported to the closest Galaxy of the type of your choice.
That´s why Wiki is useful if you plan to travel to certain Galaxy.
Is it just me or are the sentinels really annoying to get resources out of? Ive killed like 4 and got 0 pugneum
Seems like a bug.
I got pugneum for every killed one.
!HG
As you get pugneum from destroyed sentinels.
Or you need to destroy their crates.
As when you kill sentinel, a barrel falls from him.
yeah, I never get any
Which you need to destroy with mining laser or gun to get an ammo and shield recharge from it.
i ended up resorting to uninstalling upgrades that give me pugneum
As the bot doesn´t work there.: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
Nice.
I think you can also sometimes buy pugneum from trade terminals.
I just want a weapons terminal haha
I haaaate killing sentinels coz theyre so annoying to kill and i dont get enough rewards to make me wanna do it haha
im glad you can buy it coz im so over sentinels
Use Plasma grenades (but don´t blow up yourself), that shotgun mode of multitool (forgot its name) and that laser charging weapon for the Walker.
I horde puneum for nanites. Generally I find pilots selling it.
You can also get Biological horror eggs for both tons of
and
.
But yep, I do same thing.
Yeah the transfer rates for pugnam and platinum suck. I still passively hoard them bc why not
Do barrels not drop from them?
Made a number of minor text fixes. I think must be a general thing rather than specific to this latest update. They often fix/add stuff like that without mentioning it, and the only change I see in this experimental is adding a line UI_CHAT_COMMAND_NO_JOIN <TITLE>Cannot join %NAME% without being friends<>
Although I guess they could be non-English fixes. I don't look for those.
The 4chan post may actually be real
hmmm
can someone share that with me?
I never did get to see it
Well I watched MZKs new video and he said this leaker is the same leaker that leaked info about Elite Dangerous... So this is the same guy that made a list of leaks for Frontier's games
If this really is the same leaker he's been right alot
He was right about 3 DLC for Jurassic World Evolution
1 DLC for Planet Coaster
And he info about Jurassic World Evolution 2, Elite Dangerous, Planet Coaster 2, and a Warhammer RTS game
But they are Anonymous post, how can they be so sure it's the same ?
Their account links to the same leaks
okok
Yea so if this is true then I'm confident the leak is true cause this person has got alot right... Even some leaks for star citizen
apparentally people are getting images of polo from convertion
I think they are true too, I was wondering if it was part of the ARG but if he linked another games I don't think it's probable
thats what procederal traveller said on his server
hmmm
