A lot of the updates have been player feedback related. Even in a talk (maybe interview) Sean gave a while back he talked about the "some for them, some for us" approach, so it's not exactly surprising that they also add things that they're interested in personally as a development team.

#

I do hope they have more than a single new hire though, purely just to help out as I'm sure the workload is pretty intense. But assuming some new person came in and is the whole reason for some new content is weird

uncut harness
#

Oh, that's just because in my experience stuff usually changes when the people involved change.

nocturne zephyr
#

maybe they'll hire some people interested in their original vision

uncut harness
#

I do development too, I have seen some amazing stuff, both good and bad, following leadership and team changes

idle jay
#

There are surely a number of people they can look to for achieving that vision

heavy glacier
#

That's true too, but we don't really know their internal roadmap or development style so it's hard to say whether it's anything to do with a team change as opposed to a workflow change or roadmap or something else

nocturne zephyr
#

apparently pretty random and unplanned

#

according to the sean

heavy glacier
#

i don't believe that's actually true

#

i think it's taken way too literally like everything else people hear him say

nocturne zephyr
#

sean said they plan way less than we'd think

heavy glacier
#

that could mean so many things though

#

it's not like they all wake up and have a random thought and then it gets put into the game a week later. I'm sure they have some sort of brainstorming stuff or give some devs some freedom. I think that's how Beyond came about from what I remember

#

but there needs to be a plan for micro updates once the theme is decided because that's how things are delivered

#

he may have just meant "we don't plan a year ahead for where we want the game to be and what content to add"

nocturne zephyr
#

right, though they originally didn't want to do a big beyond update

#

it just ended up big

heavy glacier
#

yeah, it seems they've moved away from that style as well

nocturne zephyr
#

unless..

heavy glacier
#

more towards the initial strategy of updates every few months

#

which is reinforced by Sean saying they have several big things planned for the rest of the year, given that's only 5 more months

uncut harness
#

Pretty sure that stuff like Desolation is what qualifies as 'big' now

#

I don't disagree at all

nocturne zephyr
#

we gotta way until the end o' the year to decide on that, since we're only in July

uncut harness
#

yup

crisp fern
#

those navigation stations give the UA of the current system in "raw" format. It's slightly different to the portal address, as that doesn't have the galaxy in it. The portal address for so&so's screenshot would be 0059FC4BB522.
@violet narwhal wat? Current system as in the one you're in when you find it? But then, it shouldn't take you to a different star system if used as portal coordinates? thonk

violet narwhal
#

If you put in the coordinates as it gives them, it'll probably do the "portal link failed" thing or whatever, at least for that example. If it works, it'll send you to somewhere near where you started.

#

If you put the properly-converted portal code in, it should take you to where you were when you found that thing.

new weekend title

#

nice WT reference

compact coyote
#

I need that title

grizzled apex
#

Yea blowing 800 on that seems pointless

#

I might consider it but I dont even play MP lol😁

uncut harness
#

800?!

#

Given how many folks are asking around how to get the Watched title, I think I'll pick it instead

#

Seems kinda rare

snow pasture
#

When do the nexus missions change?

grizzled apex
#

The watched one is interestinh

snow pasture
#

oh they changed already, guess its new ones every time you check it?

mental socket
#

hmm?

grizzled apex
#

If I remember correctly the description for unlocking says "robot_death"

#

So either die by sentinel

#

Or wait for this new death to be implemented

#

Or maybe the derelict drones?

uncut harness
#

Death by sentinel? Is that even possible?

grizzled apex
#

Just stand and wait to die?

#

Most of these are suicide tbh

uncut harness
#

I thought death only could be achieved by applying a grenade launcher to the surrounding landscape.

gloomy isle
#

Tbf I've been killed by them a few times lol

grizzled apex
#

That's the only way, now that I think about it. Why would HG make impossible tasks? @uncut harness

uncut harness
#

So the most obvious approach is to just leave geology cannon lying around

#

in hope that a sentinel would pick it up and use it

#

but that's a dead end

#

because sentinels dont have arms

#

Well played HG

#

I doubt Watched is about dying

timid pine
#

The Watched?Its description is "Tracked by Korvax"

prisma oak
#

I liked that armor until I saw it on a filthy Vy'keen

#

Not worth QS 👀

#

Well, unless you like Vy'keen, maybe

crisp fern
#

If you put the properly-converted portal code in, it should take you to where you were when you found that thing.
@violet narwhal maybe it used to, but it doesn't anymore, at least when converting using this: https://nmsportals.github.io/

grizzled apex
#

@uncut harness
Try getting killed by korvax ships maybe?

violet narwhal
#

Yeah, not just like that, as I said... Their number given by the navigation system was 00005900fc4bb522 and as a portal address that'd be 0059FC4BB522.

grizzled apex
#

EXP_SCAVENGER_8

#

That's the stat that it looks for

#

EXP stands for explorer which is obviously the korvax

#

Scavenger is interesting though

#

Maybe the debris that we dig up?

crisp fern
#

🤷‍♀️ well using the old coordinate converter has it take you, uhh, more interesting places so

violet narwhal
#

Yeah... If you get the coordinates of the system and compare them to what the beacon thing gives, you'll see what I mean.

mental socket
#

hmm

#

where do they take you then

nocturne zephyr
#

i really want to create a meme of all the people wanting NMS to look more realistic.

sturdy acorn
#

make another image from screenshots of people saying "variation"

crisp fern
#

take a screenshot of Elite: Dangerous or something

uncut harness
#

Take a screenshot of a Space X rocket launch.

crisp fern
#

a few shots of NMS biomes, then a few shots of places you can land in Elite: Dangerous
"realism amirite?"

sturdy acorn
#

"spacex rocket launch" r/ksp disc would eat that up

nocturne zephyr
#

good idea. plus proving a point that there's a ton of other space games that go for full realism visually.

crisp fern
#

almost every other one tbh

gloomy isle
#

Yeah if someone wants realism they should play elite dangerous

nocturne zephyr
#

darn tootin

mental socket
#

dev blog when tier 3 is done on all platforms?

#

There is hoping

harsh pelican
#

Elite Dangerous doesn't let you walk

#

Imagine shooting for realism and forgetting to implement walking

#

I also had to pay to enjoy the fruits of the new updates of ED. Imagine paying for a big update. 😤

#

In short, No Man's Sky good. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

nocturne zephyr
#

It's been like 2 months since the last dev update

#

Great Ted talk

mortal blade
#

Can someone help me, i need to find apollo's contactperson, the missions says he is on the map, but i cant find him there

willow stirrup
#

@mortal blade Go to the space station and talk to all of the Gek there. One of them will be right

mortal blade
#

I have already done the translater and have spoken with apollo

willow stirrup

His contact is your Overseer, which will be Gek. Talk to every Gek

something about vy'keens i think

I think it means finding one of the lore ruin places

sturdy acorn
#

boundary failures?

vestal ledge
#

Boundary failured are telamon and atlas stuff

#

I assume vykeen plaques and ruins?

#

Theres one for each race. Convergence and First Spawn too

#

Do the titles at the very end correspond to deaths? Like the Irradiated or Frozen?

#

Or just time spent in the extreme conditions

heady wyvern
#

@vestal ledge I'd think those titles (Irradiated, Frozen) correspond to time spent on hazardous worlds.

#

There's nothing else I can think of.

#

After all, they wouldn't encourage you to commit suicide by exposure, riiiiiiight...?

vestal ledge
#

Yeah

Especially in permadeath

Fleet upgrades 🤔 r they in derelicts

grizzled apex
#

Oh damn

#

HG really messed up abandoned stations

#

I teleported to one via anomaly and ended up outside

wind panther
#

That's...inconvenient

grizzled apex
#

Thankfully I didnt lose life support and hazard protection and was able to reload a save

wind panther
#

@haughty rover Yes

haughty rover
#

Interesting

grizzled apex
#

How did they mess this up? I've heard people cant even enter the stations now

#

And teleoorting to them matrons you outside

wind panther
#

You can enter at least some of them, but I think some still have problems with the tractor beam range

grizzled apex
#

TIL the old station interiors were literally the planet side buildings if you look from the outside

mental socket
#

@grizzled apex The current interiors behind the sliding doors are still just planet side buildings

#

The ones behind the kiosks

grizzled apex
#

Yea that's what I was talking about

#

Oh that

#

Lol sorry

#

I didnt know that

#

Looks funny in photo mode tbh

#

Especially as the windows look like open doors in a vacuum

mental socket
#

there is literally just a planetary building plapped behind the slidey doors

grizzled apex
#

Kind of lazy but I dont blame HG. They just copied over an existing asset.

#

There wasnt a need to make a new asset so that makes sense

#

The space behind the back of the station is just a huuuuge black void

#

And its all rendered

#

Interesting thing.
As of 2.61, landing in derelicts doesn't hide planets

mental socket
#

yup

#

it does when you enter the first hallway with the hole in the ceiling

grizzled apex
#

But not immediately after exiting your ship

#

Its hardly noticable now imo

prisma oak
#

@wind panther Is the freighter class spawn rate controlled by INVENTORYTABLE?

wind panther
#

I have no idea on that

prisma oak
#

The rest of their data is in there, so I assume so, but assumptions can be wrong.

#

Ship spawn rates are controlled by InventoryTable, I know that much

#

And the same data for ships is available for freighters in InvTable, so I assume so

#

What confuses me though, is that I can't find the Frigate info in there

#

It looks like Frigates are completely controlled by other assets

gloomy isle
#

I've not got my hopes up but maybe we'll see some NMS stuff at the xbox thing later

tepid iris
#

I still believe there's a chance coz all the Xbox NMS tweets

wanton path
#

yes please

#

it would be the icing on the cake after Desolation surprise

Sean will be cryptic as fuck

#

U get hyped then pissed off

wanton path

any cryptic announcement is ok too

the hype is part of this game

hooooo boy theres gonna be a lot of waiting with the living ship quest isnt there

O_O

im sure itll be worth it

haughty rover
#

Dunno ya can't max slot em

gloomy isle
#

Not everything needs to be statistically the best

#

They're fun and look absolutely awesome

haughty rover
#

Ultimately useless 🙃

#

But I haven't got mine yet so will wait and see

heavy glacier
#

you don't really need to max slot them cause they have massive tech storage so you don't need to bleed upgrades into your main inventory, meaning it can be purely for storage

#

and some people don't play the game just to min-max everything, i like my living ship and haven't had issues with it

gloomy isle
#

Plus they have really nice base damage

haughty rover
#

Oh cool

gloomy isle
#

Not long now till the xbox showcase

I'm not expecting anything from nms but you never know, especially with the xbox tweets

Probably pre-show

gloomy isle
#

Yeah there's a pre show

#

Then a load of trailers and maybe a demo or two hopefully

nocturne zephyr
#

@tepid iris I'm only seeing the one Desolation trailer tweet from Xbox. What other NMS mentions are you referring to?

uncut harness

That's the only other one I'm aware of tho

tepid iris
#

Possible, I can't remember

nocturne zephyr
#

Interesting

#

A gek sitting on a couch definitely feels like they're hinting at something

cloud hearth
#

Yeah, why would they choose NMS of all things? 🤔

#

Oh wait, wasn't it added to the GamePass?

nocturne zephyr
#

In June I believe

cloud hearth
#

Huh

#

Then maybe it's just that

#

They're using a popular game that was recently added to the Gamepass service

#

I hope to be proven wrong

uncut harness
#

¿por qué no los dos?

cloud hearth
#

Yeah, I hope it's something more

heavy glacier
#

eh i think it's just marketing since it was added to gamepass recently

compact coyote
#

I hope we something nms related on the show

sand karma
#

Yeah Gamepass marketing makes sense

stuck hinge
sand karma
#

Since it was doing well on there

nocturne zephyr
#

HG be like ' we gave them an update a week ago can't they just be happy?'

sand karma
#

Definitely

#

😛

cloud hearth
#

It's not our fault they have been teasing us

sand karma
#

I am still very happy with the last update and I wouldn't mind waiting another 2.5/3 months 😛

cloud hearth
#

😖

nocturne zephyr
#

A winter planetary variety overhaul would be nice

compact coyote
#

I'm happy as well but dont you think the desolation trailer was the full trailer?

uncut harness
#

Not enough emotional variety updates, no contentedness, only hunger for more assets

sand karma
#

It was a full trailer with some static aesthetics yes. 😛

cloud hearth
#

I mean, I think maybe the trailer just was intended to be so "glitchy"

#

they didn't even think about the static at the end

sand karma
#

What gives that away the most is the off-center logo placement

cloud hearth
#

I've read something about a "second static" at Sean's Twitter but I can't find it

sand karma
#

That cements it as a visual thing

cloud hearth
#

what are these people talking about?

nocturne zephyr
#

The static Sean posted has been debunked

#

It means nothing

compact coyote
#

That's unfortunate :(

sand karma
#

Of course, "it's just static" doesn't have to mean there isn't something in the next 1/2 months. I mean they said updates plural for the remainder of the year. So expecting two between the size of EXO Mech and Desolation is more than reasonable. 😛

nocturne zephyr
#

That is reasonable

sand karma
#

And aside from that we'll see what they surprise us with this time. 😄

#

I mean updates are almost never what we predict them to be.

#

The next one will be no exception. 😛

nocturne zephyr
#

They are very

#

Unpredictable

#

Oh, thanks for the heads up!

cloud hearth
#

I wish they added more planet-specific filters

sand karma
#

Like the chromatic red/grey ones?

#

Yeah

#

If we do ever get variation stuff that's the one thing I'm pretty damn sure would be in there

It was only mentioned in 2019, and Sean said it was in the very beginning concepting phase

So if i go into the center of a galaxy with my living ship, does everything in its tech inv stay fixed or will it get broken?

@dense knot There is a group called Pangalactic Star Cabs that will take you to any galaxy for free. They have a Discord, too.

If you pick a Lush galaxy at the end, you get Eissentam

if you reset from any galaxy before Eissentam, to lush (the green orb), you will always be put in Eissentam

even candy eggs should be waited upon to hatch candy, it's just science

cinder spoke
#

On the Atlas-Path mission it always seems to plot a course that involves two jumps even though I have the range to reach the Atlas station. Is there a reason for that? Is it meant to be the most efficient route?

vestal ledge
#

Yeah probably.

crisp fern
#

may also be assuming you don't have a good enough ship to jump directly

cinder spoke
#

Possibly but my ship is good enough to as I just now did it skipping the intermediary system. Its not a problem, just a bit odd and I like to understand these sorts of things.

crisp fern
#

yeah i think it may be that it doesn't check what ship you have and plays it safe, guiding you as if you have a less capable ship

sturdy acorn

the tribunal has decided your fate

cinder spoke
#

@crisp fern My next atlas station has two stops plotted on route. Going to check this time whether sum of the 3 jumps is shorter than the single jump to see if it is most efficient route.

stuck hinge
#

I have a real life living ship. Can confirm it takes 7 days to hatch.

cinder spoke
#

Nope, the distance for the 3 jumps was just slightly longer than if I had just done the one jump so its not the most efficient route. So not sure why it splits the jump up into multiple short jumps.

#

A "real life" living ship. Cool!

that's a chicken, not a living ship

#

Probably a newb question, but does anyone know what the different planet symbol for the Luroin-Pokasi system means in this screen shot? Rather than just a little white square, one of the planets looks to be in a circle crosshair symbol.

Sorry, probably the wrong channel for that type of question. Will ask in the help channel.

if i reset the galaxy does it remain euclid?

no, you end up going to one of the other 255 galaxies

#

What's the quickest way to the center if I don't want to do the Artemis line of quests?

crisp fern
#

@harsh pelican black holes, but also the Artemis Path doesn't literally take you to the center anyway

harsh pelican
#

Really?

#

I'm shocked

#

Black holes it is

crisp fern
#

It lets you jump galaxies, and some read that as it taking you to & through the center, but I don't agree with that interpretation personally @harsh pelican

harsh pelican
#

Why don't you? If it's alright to ask

crisp fern
#

Because it's left ambiguous, you go through a portal get warped to an Atlas Interface and make your choice. You never really get the opportunity to see if it's anywhere near the center, and you don't actually enter any portal coordinates that might take you near the center, so 🤷‍♀️

#

Plus the center doesn't give you any choice, so both narratively and mechanically they're distinct enough to not consider the same.

#

Though on review, apparently Beyond makes it so going the Artemis Path & making the choice to jump galaxies does count towards the achievement of going through the center so 🤷‍♀️

tame sleet
#

@wind panther my freighter can reach 6361ly

#

maybe different freighters have different hyperdrive bonuses

harsh pelican
#

@crisp fern That last bit is what threw me. Thank you for the explanation!

wind panther
#

@tame sleet Could you get me a screenshot of your tech upgrade layout? I could have the adjacency setup wrong. I gave the freighter the maximum base value according to what I found in the files

tame sleet
wind panther
#

And then the drive and three more upgrades on the general tab?

tame sleet
#

yes

wind panther
#

You don't have the save editor installed do you? I'm curious what the base stat of your freighter is

tame sleet
#

No I dont

#

I can probably trash everything then reload save

wind panther
#

If you don't mind, that would be interesting to know

tame sleet
#

180.7

wind panther
#

Hmm, that matches perfectly, and I made my layout exactly like yours and still only get 6169.6

tame sleet
#

oh wait theres a stat called warp efficiency

#

which is also exactly the same

wind panther
#

Yeah, mine is at 8.0 as well

tame sleet
wind panther
#

That's the warp cell usage, I think

#

Maybe the fleet coordination adds to it in a hidden calculation?

#

I'll play around some more

tame sleet
#

i cant see why fleet should have anything to do with warp range

#

but its hello games i guess

wind panther
#

Or there's an upgrade I'm missing?

tame sleet
#

you have the same number of modules as I do

wind panther
#

Your upgrade modules are around 250?

tame sleet
#

yes 247

When do you think Sean will start hinting at stuff for next update

mental socket

Judging from the previous dev blogs and update announcements this year, I believe it's shortly after tier 3 is completed on all platforms @last anchor

#

Approx 1 week possibly. Xbox seems to drag behins other platforms atm but last time they got a suspicious boost right before announcement. So if xbox tier suddenly catches up with PC and PS4, they are yet again boosting it

What happened to the glyphs channel? Was it ever deciphered?

and they have added a way to add gravity to things (I think how they make gravity work in the abandoned things)
so if people make custom dungeons you could make rooms with sideways gravity and such which would be neat
also possibly grav chambers on planet
it also looks like hG have made a number of improvements or are in the process of improving animals
there has been a lot of new structs relating to the tails of animals randomly haha
and they have added a new property relating to animal swarms called 'can land' implying I guess that it may allow flying creatures to land?

mods are client sided not server sided so it works like that u be able to use and see ur mods but the ppl who dont use the mods wont

tepid iris

yeah but it doesn't break it for them that there are potentially two player freighters?

I guess not since the game just prevents the summoning

Maybe improving current freighter interactiona before allowing us to own more freighters would be a better first approach

So I can just ignore it basically?

Seem so. This time I can't even follow it to make it disappear. 😛

Thanks. My next question is, is it much quicker to get to the galaxy centre using blackholes rather than warp jumping? I've decked out an explorer and it has a a little over 2000 LY jump distance?

sand karma

I personally got turned around a lot of with black holes I think 😛

cinder spoke
#

I decked it out with 6 S-class drive upgrades (3 in main tab 3 in tech tab) and then read that people have mapped out all the blackholes so you can plot a route to the centre using the map.

#

Yeah I think I'd only bother with blackholes if I have a reliable BH map (especially as I think it damages my ship each time I use one)

sand karma
#

Yeah the BH map sounds like a smart idea

cinder spoke
#

If I can find it.

prime inlet

Yeah I think I'd only bother with blackholes if I have a reliable BH map (especially as I think it damages my ship each time I use one)
@cinder spoke get a trash ship for bh jumps

Will it trim a lot of time off getting to the centre using blackholes?

Oh I like this DARC black hole suns website. It even has POIs and Civ/Orgs

neon lily

@lapis plume It was more of a lore question

lapis plume
#

@neon lily full lore ||While it unclear who or what created the Space Anomaly, many in No Man’s Sky Community believes that Nada and Polo built the mobile space station to shield themselves and other Travellers from ever watching eyes of the Atlas.

The room to the right of the large teleporter of the nexus houses a Korvax subsimulation of an artificial star system, saved from the destruction of Korvax Prime by Nada. It can be interacted with using the Korvax Simulation Terminal.

In the storyline quest The First Traveller, one can choose to either transfer Artemis' consciousness inside the subsimulation to restore their life or to not transfer it, instead allowing them to die and end their suffering. Nada and Polo support the Player regardless of their choice.||

any ship that has all of its tech and upgrade modules in the tech inventory, will never be damaged neither by a core warp, or a black hole

At least my gun is good for those annoying little horde horrors

@sullen sundial it's basically like the collision doesn't follow the drifting position of the object. Like from far away it's static then shifts to floating but nothing in the game tells it to change the collision to switch off & apply to the floating version

Hmm. Suspicious if you ask me

😱

hollow tinsel
#

are there zombies in the derelict?

wanton path
#

yes

#

ourselves

hollow tinsel
#

lol

wanton path
#

would be cool some monstrosity mom lurking around

#

with more health and damage than ones found on planets

hollow tinsel
#

yrsh

#

is there a queen for the biters?

#

still no giant sand worms lol

wanton path
#

should be a queen

#

there is eggs

hollow tinsel
#

right

wanton path
#

this guy knows what i mean

hollow tinsel
#

mhm

#

there should be more bosses, I think

last anchor
#

When does weekend mission end

#

August 12 right based on datamine info right

mental socket
#

Is it?

wanton path
#

😱 so

#

Awwwgst 12 hype again?

heavy glacier
#

no weekend missions end in late september

#

according to the schedule in the files

wanton path
#

😦

nocturne zephyr
#

When im on derelicts, I hear something slowly stomping around above/below me. Wonder if this is a hint at bigger enemies

gloomy isle
#

I've heard that too

#

Not on all but on one or two

nocturne zephyr
#

Hmm

mental socket
#

abyss

grizzled apex
#

kzzkt intensifies

nocturne zephyr
#

Kinda feels like they plan to add things to it

uncut harness
#

I really hope they do

heavy glacier
#

I feel like they could add some cases where the biological scan returns traces of life and we could find an old crew member on board in various scenarios

nocturne zephyr
#

Dead or alive

grizzled apex
#

Alive most likely

#

I doubt HG wants their rating to go up

nocturne zephyr
#

Though it could get real dark real fast,so I don't think HG will take that approach

heavy glacier
#

maybe if they added the ability for NPCs to pull out weapons and shoot when on-foot they could add something like that

grizzled apex
#

When the ship bio scan showed the last known positions I thought we might actually find a few members

#

Especially since the person had logged in a day ago

nocturne zephyr
#

Woulda been a nice surprise

heavy glacier
#

yeah i think all of the logs are designed intentionally so they mesh with basically any scenario or other type of log that could appear

#

which is cool, but having more than a couple different encounters would be fun as well. Not that I don't enjoy them now, it's one of my favorite things that has been added

nocturne zephyr
#

Looking at how we just recently got more NPC interactions on planets, I don't doubt it'll happen

#

Plus I feel allowing NPCs to walk/run around on derelicts would be a little easier to do than on planets

heavy glacier
#

yeah, even if they don't end up being on planets for whatever reason in the near future having them on derelicts would be neat

#

but i do dream of a day I can find a lone korvax surveying a planet on its own, or an angry vy'keen chasing me across the surface

nocturne zephyr
#

I'd love that.

#

Walking and running NPCs would add a whole new range of possibilities for missions and interactions. I think it's a cool start, seeing a vykeen walk around their crashed ship though

#

Or a gek standing and sitting next to a damaged container

#

(I came across both of these)

rocky pelican
#

So, uh, are there any lore differences between the Anomaly and Traveller races?

grizzled apex
#

@rocky pelican
Yep. Anomalies are the corrupted version if the creator of the Atlas that was created by the Atlas when it realized that it was dying, and wanted to be with its owner

#

Whereas travellers are a race made by the Atlas to explore the universe

rocky pelican
#

Let's say I pick a new galaxy and decide I dont like it. Can I change it or am I stuck?

uncut harness
#

you can change it

#

in fact, there a re a ton of galaxies

rocky pelican
#

hmm, how do you change it after the fact?

uncut harness
#

You go to center of the galaxy

rocky pelican
#

doesnt that just take you to somewhere random?

cinder spoke
#

No. There are galaxy chains as I understand it depending on your selected. But I'm just going from what I read as I'm still in Euclid.

fast spoke
#

there's uhh

#

i believe there's around 250 galaxy's, and once you go through all of em you loop back to euclid

#

so if you decide you don't like a galaxy, you can always go back

#

but

#

you'd have to loop all the way around

#

or already have a base in euclid

fallen bluff
#

256

mental socket
#

256 is not accessible unless you join a player who happens to be there or you got a pre-next base there

rocky pelican
#

Oh man I still don’t know if I want to do the green or red galaxy

#

Red sounds exciting but green seems so peaceful

uncut harness
#

It's just storms

#

I'm in Calypso, all that changes is that yellow stars have a ton of extreme planets.

stoic trout
#

so there's a difference between the galaxies? Never knew. Gives going to a different galaxy a reason 😄

rocky pelican
#

extreme = richer resources = more money

uncut harness
#

Upgrade your drives

#

1 jump per cell is terrible

chrome eagle
#

been playing for 60 hours, hadn't come across an abandoned space station yet, now have gotten 2 in the last 3 jumps

#

which is annoying because i still need 6 glyphs for portal activations

rocky pelican
#

Oh I thought one jump per cell was just how it was lol

#

Well I made them already so rip

uncut harness
#

No no no

#

Upgrade your drives anyway, it doesn't matter when you make them

rocky pelican
#

I’m probably gonna replace those crappy ship entirely so I’ll just keep my nanites for now but thank you for reminding me

#

If the upgrade system I mean

#

*of

valid pollen
#

@rocky pelican grab either an exotic or explorer you like and upgrade drives. I can make up to 20 jumps with 1 or 2 cells. Trust me it’s worth it

#

Also, you can go to green system with emeril drive, red with cadmium drive, and blue with indium drive.

rocky pelican
#

not pictured is the immense dread caused by still not being sure which to pick

valid pollen
#

Green is best one @rocky pelican

rocky pelican
#

Well here's my dilemma. I know green produces more pretty worlds, but red makes the arguably more exciting extreme ones show up more. And then you got the default galaxy followed by one with what I assume are more dead/weird planets

#

I guess my choice is between heaven and hell, haha

valid pollen
#

Hmmmmm.... I mean I went green lol

rocky pelican
#

I checked. Yep, the ancestral galaxy is a bunch more dead planets. Weird planets are generated from originally dead ones, so there's more of them as well

#

So here's my options:

  1. Keep it all the same
  2. Greatly increase hazardous(yet lucrative) planets
  3. Greatly increase paradise planets
  4. Greatly increase dead and weird planets
valid pollen
#

Well that’s really preference haha

rocky pelican
#

I dunno, paradise planets look fancy and all but there's nothing EXCITING.

You know what, my choice is made.

Let's go to hell 😎

hollow tinsel
#

are we expecting another update in August?

nocturne zephyr
#

if anything i'm guessing something smaller

uncut harness
#

I'm not expecting anything until the weekly missions run out

#

So, late september

rocky pelican
#

crap crap all my stuff is broken

#

and it's extreme heat planet

#

I asked for this and it's awesome but still oof ow

uncut harness
#

Summon your freighter

#

Or another ship

#

Summoning trivializes pretty much everything

#

Nah don't do it, better to enjoy the game that way imho

mental socket
#

since when were logs past 20 added?

#

There should only be 20 but now there is 30 and they seem really disturbing

idle jay
#

They were possibly added recently

uncut harness
#

Dunno, I tried to figure it out a few months ago, but failed

idle jay
#

Because some of them seem to fit in with the current lore that's going on

mental socket
#

Seems like nobody saves atlast on the last moment after all

idle jay
#

Check log 25 for example

mental socket
#

and log 28

#

so sad

#

seems like the creator of the atlas returned

#

or someone did

#

but what terminal, where? Do they go inside atlas or upload themselves to a higher simulation, past the glass?

#

So confusing

#

Like, there are simulations above atlas. Atlas itself may be a part of higher simulation

#

@uncut harness @mental socket Thanks, and not super often. Usually not in the same manner as the mod for obvious reasons (they have better methods available, sometimes).

#

wut
so the atlas is just a machine that simulates a universe like that machine in the anomaly is?
and it broke?

Do I put Artemis in the simulation or do I just end her suffering?

uncut harness

There are no long term consequences, just choose what feels right to you

i see

man that shit sad as fuck

compact coyote

I know right??

Both choices are sad

copper horizon
#

Can someone explain to me what is going on with Iteration Hesperus right now?

#

He has disappeared from the anomaly and the weekend mission mentioned he was helping the Korvax do something

vapid moon
#

nah

#

the putting artemis into simulation sucks more because he still calls a few times and you can lie even more

Hesperus did nothi g wrong

At the end of the Atlas Path quest you must go thru a Black Hole to see all black holes on the map, if you didnt what could you do to complete it properly?

vapid moon
#

whats with atlas and 16?

sullen drift
#

Far as I recall, It refers to 16 minutes tell its death.

slender idol
#

there are also 16 glyphs

#

@rose finch make another heart of the sun and go back and talk to the final atlas again.,

#

There are also 16 stars in orbit around the core. or something. One of the atlas rants references a stellar location at the center of 16 suns.

my point was people end up asking all these in nms-help a lot so actually seeing it in the right channel is nice for a change

rose finch
#

I have no idea where the final atlas is tho

hmm

#

I'm starting to have second thoughts about sending artemis into the simulation

#

was it a bad idea?

#

no

I told them it was a simulation ☹️

I’m sad nada and polo lost memory of me 😦

Artemis is a dude

Thought it was a girl

second life for him
@wanton path

mighty rampart
#

artemis doesnt have a gender

#

not once is there a male or female pronoun attached to them

cloud hearth
#

None od the characters in the game are referred to with gendered pronouns

#

It's always they/them

tulip tangle
#

The lore includes that the Korvax basically have nanites as their blood. Using nanites as currency for stuff is what he meant by melting them down into gear

Plaques

The Gek plaques provide an understanding that the Gek were once an arrogant and blood-thirsty primal master race known as the Gek the First Spawns. They had many rituals designed to conquer the universe and harness its resources for themselves. The Gek Dominion swooped through the universe with blitzkrieg tactics and invaded everywhere at ease and nearly eliminated the entire population of Korvax Prime, causing the The Great Disconnection.

Ruins

From ruins constructed by the Gek, it was learned that they were biding their time to defeat the Vy'keen Alliance quickly, as the Vy'keen and the Sentinels clashed against one another in The Aerons War. During this time, the First Spawns of the Gek were enslaving a majority of the young Korvax in an act of "Mercy". Fresh Korvax were put into horrific conditions of slavery, abused and neglected. When more of the Korvax died, bodies were refused a return to the remaining Korvax colony planets; instead Gek the First Spawns stripped their bodies down and melted them into more equipment for their war efforts.

#

@tulip tangle no they literally used the melted metal to make guns, they didnt buy anything

#

After the korvax died, instead of a proper burial, they would strip the bodies of their plating, melt it down, and smelt new tech

tulip tangle
#

Well I mean we the players literally exchange their blood for goods lol

#

The Gek, they reused the skin n stuff too apparently 😄

#

I havent read the lore since 2016 lol
