#

I only have 1 base so far the 1st base lol

dapper eagle
#

cause it might bug out and u cant go back to Eisentham then

#

oooooh, okay, way to go, bud ๐Ÿ˜„

#

well if u wanna rush it

fluid obsidian
#

now I am looking for a good planet with activated copper cause Im always short on whats it called

dapper eagle
#

i saw players do it in 12-15h

#

chromatic metal

fluid obsidian
#

thats it

dapper eagle
#

i buy most of my resources

#

i set out to build a money farm asap

#

i dont particularly enjoy the grind in NMS

#

i love the exploration

#

so i didnt mind getting rich fast

#

and remove the grind altogether

fluid obsidian
#

I used to just get really stoned and enjoy exploring planets destorying them (even tho it respawns way to quick) but yeah now I'm looking into farmings. Going to start with the extractors never even done an extractor plant. Time to get some factorio on.

dapper eagle
#

people built better money farms than i did, and bigger ones, but for me it sufficed to get around 50,000,000 upon each return to my farm

fluid obsidian
#

and Im also system hopping for a decent free freighter so far only had c class poop

#

do you know if crashed ships/distress signals respawn?

dapper eagle
#

never enjoyed the base building here, either, coming from satisfactory. i like to align buildings perfectly, which is next to impossible

#

they do, but i do not know the timer on it

#

everything resets

fluid obsidian
#

that is my money atm, I find crashed ships then fix as little as possible and sell but I just remembered the extra recipes from facilities and started learning them

dapper eagle
#

the economy resets after 3h of active playtime (no menus open etc)

#

if u ever see chlorine, buy 75 of it

#

then all u need is oxygen

#

and ur set

fluid obsidian
#

(I modded my economy from '6' to '60000')

dapper eagle
#

if ur interested in money farm

fluid obsidian
#

chlorine+oxygen hey? I coulda sworn I've found planets abundent with some chlorine

#

I was looking at seeing if I could make those donuts worth 1.5mil each. What would be needed to farm them.

haughty rover
#

Donuts ๐Ÿ˜

dapper eagle
#

brb

#

i try get u the page

#

its lost in my google history

#

guy is called khraze on utube

#

but u need the website

#

for a complete rundown of like numbers etc

#

wrong

#

not khraze

#

it was xaine

fluid obsidian
#

@haughty rover trying to find it on google. I got some type of donut and it was worth 1.5mil units each. but so far links I've found jam donuts they reckon is only 60k units

#

and I was playing survival mode too

dapper eagle
#

there is infinite loops in this game. certain materials can be reproduced and multiplied indefinitely with a second catalyst

#

that is basically the principle behind money farms

#

for starters, dont go too hard on urself and look for s type hotspots

#

i thought too it is necessary

#

but B class and C class did the job just fine

#

if NMS had better basebuilding options, and more interesting production lines

#

i wouldve not used money farms at all

fluid obsidian
dapper eagle
#

but money farms allowed me to focus on exploration and what i enjoyed

#

in everything tho, u do u

#

find what u enjoy the most

#

i, for one, hate harvesting in the game

fluid obsidian
#

I was real dissapoint to find food I seem to eat just gives me a slight stamina buff that didnt even last for long

dapper eagle
#

i havent planted a single plant in this game to date

#

so i went with minerals

fluid obsidian
#

I planted some starbulb on my home planet because a gek asked me to as a mission. 200hrs in game did not even know that was a thing

dapper eagle
#

yup

fluid obsidian
#

the game tricks ya, figure 'oh ive got all wicked guns don't feel like going there, that dude prob just wnts to upgrade my multitool with a c class anyway" HG "nah there's other stuff" "oh how many times should I visit?" "19 quintillion..."

dapper eagle
#

ye

#

the diehard fans will probably disagree with me when i say this, but

#

NMS is just a big procedural warp simulator

#

they added cool content, i give em that

#

but each content pack on its own cannot compete with other games

#

derelic freighters? weak narrative, no suspense whatsoever

haughty rover
#

Best plant is Frost crystals

fluid obsidian
#

@dapper eagle I will have trouble with giant money farms as my pc is a potato. Trying to build a wooden base around this trade station, 15fps yay.

dapper eagle
#

basebuilding? seems intricate at first, reveals itself as clumsy and grindy

#

and even exploration to some degree

#

i saw the deep space trailer

#

and expected subnautica style immersion

#

i did not go through with building a deep sea base

#

wasnt worth it

fluid obsidian
#

only thing comparable to the RNG 'alients' tho is spore

haughty rover
#

Exploration gets boring after awhile it's basically all the same stuff you notice after abit

dapper eagle
#

cause there was nothing there except the same plant mining as on land

fluid obsidian
#

oh subnautica yeah that is a good ocean game

dapper eagle
#

arnak, if u can run around without fps drops

#

u should be able to have a dozen of buildings on screen

#

my plant has 25 extractors

#

and idk how many storage units

fluid obsidian
#

yeah running around is 30-40fps space is 70+

dapper eagle
#

then u need a couple refiners and ur set

haughty rover
#

@fluid obsidian try building a base on a dead planet

#

It will run smoother

#

Less to render

nocturne zephyr
#

Subnautica. Nails. Exploration.

dapper eagle
#

yup

#

then again its biomes are handcrafted

nocturne zephyr
#

Yes

dapper eagle
#

but that is not what i meant earlier

fluid obsidian
#

@nocturne zephyr I die just trying to find enough dumb fish to drink.

dapper eagle
#

it is just that the basic production lines

#

and the gameplay loop of NMS

#

has so little to offer

#

it tricks u with nice gfx first

#

but when u look behind the curtain

nocturne zephyr
#

It can be difficult, Amak. Which is good

dapper eagle
#

there aint much there to keep ya

#

except!

#

u are in a lush galaxy

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

fuck euclid, rly

#

๐Ÿ˜‰

fluid obsidian
#

for me its the rng exploration. It really annoys me how scanning planets from space does not save.

timid mist
#

I'm not super into subnautica, the difficulty isn't the fun kind imo, it's more just tedious difficulty

nocturne zephyr
#

I really see no difference between all the galaxies besides a small percentage change between biome types

dapper eagle
#

i could imagine a lot of players turned NMS down based on how dull most euclid systems appeared to them

#

try story mode then, zoid

fluid obsidian
#

I love exploring on elite dangerous, but their planets are just so... based on RL as in NO LIFE.

dapper eagle
#

i done story mode too after a survival run in subnautica

#

i ended up liking story mode better

timid mist
#

Eh maybe

dapper eagle
#

u dont have to eat n drink

timid mist
#

I didn't really enjoy the aesthetics much anyways

dapper eagle
#

just keep ur oxygens level high

#

aesthetics were huge tho

timid mist
#

Oh I turned off those things via the dev console anyways

dapper eagle
#

the game is still stunning

fluid obsidian
#

@timid mist the mp mod for subnautica works really good.

dapper eagle
#

a year after it came out they updated the gfx even further

haughty rover
#

All the galaxies are the same. It's just different chances of certain planets spawning

#

That's it

timid mist
#

it isn't really about it being single player lol, I'm not interested in mp

#

cool that someone made a mod for that though

dapper eagle
#

aight guys, food s rdy. catch u in a bit. nice talkin!

timid mist
#

๐Ÿ‘‹

fluid obsidian
#

cya kenQi

#

ty for that link

#

farm

haughty rover
#

This game would be better if it had 1 galaxy and more focused was put into ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

nocturne zephyr
#

I would've avoided subnautica multiplayer if it was a thing

timid mist
#

They don't put "more focus" into multiple galaxies lol, just different spawn rates for planet types

haughty rover
#

I know but ya could put more focus into more planet types or something make it easier to render or something I dunno

fluid obsidian
#

Things I wish NMS could do - fly from star to star with no load screen. When I see two starts overlapping on the map, I expect to see that when i jump there. Planets rotate the sun.

timid mist
#

It wouldn't change much at all, except what the center does

fluid obsidian
#

I heard initially the sun rotated planets but that it "confused people" dunno who tested earlier version but get effed aye.

haughty rover
#

Dev flys around and plops a unique system in every now and again

nocturne zephyr
#

Would you guys prefer:

  1. More varied galaxies or
    2.more diverse journey towards the center of 1 galaxy
timid mist
#

that's not how proc gen really works though, it's an algorithm that generates what you're seeing

haughty rover
#

Mission planets arnt Pro gen though ๐Ÿค”

timid mist
#

they can choose specific planets for events and stuff like they've been doing, but they can't just say "this planet will be generated completely different than any other"

#

yes they are, just that they are chosen ahead of time

fluid obsidian
#

@nocturne zephyr Eucalid is plenty unexplored and the games been out how long? only 1 galaxy. tbh I think the whole 255 galaxies is really silly.

timid mist
#

they are still generated via proc gen when you visit them, that's why everyone sees the same thing

#

they aren't hosting a server with a single planet that everyone visits, that's why you can do the missions offline

nocturne zephyr
#

I'd personally prefer 1 galaxy where the journey to the center changes.

haughty rover
#

See the way I see It. They could make thier own systems and plop them into one galaxy now that would be a total pain to do in 255 galaxies

timid mist
#

They can't do that though is my point lol

fluid obsidian
#

@timid mist they could create custom biome tables specific to a system that would generate say 'a city'. I've seen a modder post some amazing stuff of his city biomes using all vanilla textures.

haughty rover
#

๐Ÿ˜ซ I don't understand enough to debate further

nocturne zephyr
#

Lil

fluid obsidian
#

and that would literally take up like 100kb of disk space for the biome tables probably more like 20kb

nocturne zephyr
#

Even Bioware struggled with this idea

haughty rover
#

Disable Pro gen for a sector. And make it all custom??

timid mist
#

They could technically code a specific table for a specific system but why would they get in the habit of doing that

#

you don't just "disable" proc gen

#

that's the entire point of the game lol, everything shows up because of proc gen

haughty rover
#

If it ain't rendered ๐Ÿ™ƒ

timid mist
#

what?

haughty rover
#

I dunno lol

timid mist
#

Nothing is rendered unless you're there

idle jay
#

I'd personally prefer 1 galaxy where the journey to the center changes.
@nocturne zephyr Such as planets getting weirder as you get towards the center being apart of that

haughty rover
#

I'll shh now don't hit me

fluid obsidian
#

@timid mist futureproofing your game saves you creating a whole bunch of varied biomes for when you create planets with more multiple biomes than "cave, water, land, cliff"

timid mist
#

That could still happen with multiple systems star

#

what does futureproofing mean lol

#

I feel like hardcoding asset tables for specific systems is the opposite of future proofing

fluid obsidian
#

save money by doing it now, rather than paying someone else more to do it when working on the next version of the game

#

it's more value adding to do it now and keep your player base interested, and then go "well guess what guys, now we have ALL of what you explored in galaxies, yeah that's just 1 planet + more"

haughty rover
#

Binary stars โ˜น๏ธ

timid mist
#

I don't think I see where you're coming from

fluid obsidian
#

HG are a company that make more than 1 game.

timid mist
#

Yes I get that

fluid obsidian
#

you share code and textures amongst your own companies teams.

#

Pretty sure they just released a game sounds like it's using proc gen tables similar to nms?

nocturne zephyr
#

I hope their next game focuses on procedural generation on one planet or one smaller area

timid mist
#

They haven't released a game since NMS

fluid obsidian
#

If you build your tables library as you need, it's more expensive then doing it when you can?

timid mist
#

also the only other confirmed game they are working on is using Unity, not the custom engine NMS is using

nocturne zephyr
#

TLC is in unity?

timid mist
#

so shared code only goes as far as algorithm design or strategies, they wouldn't use the same "tables" or whatever

#

and it's not proc gen anyways

#

and it's either unity or UE, don't really remember

#

points the same either way tho

nocturne zephyr
#

A game like that doesn't need procedural generation

#

A 2 or 3 hour handcrafted experience

#

Looking forward to it

timid mist
#

yeah interested to hear more

idle jay
#

Yep

timid mist
#

supposed to be out "Summer 2020" so maybe we'll get a random surprise release lol

idle jay
#

You can never know with them

nocturne zephyr
#

I think so

timid mist
#

the end of summer technicaly lines up almost exactly with the end of the weekend missions (at least the way they are listed in the files) so that's interesting

fluid obsidian
#

Sean probably telling the team 'no no don't put that in the new game, put it in nms' ๐Ÿ˜›

idle jay
#

Yep. Makes me think they'll do something when the missions end

nocturne zephyr
#

Gives em a little more time too, especially considering the virus slowing down business

timid mist
#

Yeah I'm cool with whatever really, derelict stuff keeps me occupied. If they do any sort of big overhaul thing I'll make a new save probably

nocturne zephyr
#

Strange they made some fix to abandoned space stations

#

Kinda random

timid mist
#

Probably got some bug reports or something

nocturne zephyr
#

Yuh

timid mist
#

or found it while fixing/testing other things

nocturne zephyr
#

I feel like they could expand them utilizing derelict freighter gameplay stuff

timid mist
#

i don't expect them to ever overhaul the systems that are in place again like they did with next though. Next kinda felt like they hit MVP and now are just building on that

#

that would be cool, if they found ways to expand all POIs in interesting ways I'd be hyped

nocturne zephyr
#

Yar

idle jay
#

I'd be down with them deepening the gameplay of everything we have currently

nocturne zephyr
#

You said it right, sister

haughty rover
#

A derelict freighter crashed into a abandoned station ๐Ÿ˜

#

Yesss

#

Do it

nocturne zephyr
#

oh

haughty rover
#

That would be awesome

#

With some docked ships for the taking

nocturne zephyr
#

That would be neat.

#

Only reason I mention more interior proc gen type stuff in space is because of how detailed the other abandoned freighter interiors in space are

idle jay
#

I was thinking along the lines of the abandoned space stations having their own procedural rooms you go through

nocturne zephyr
#

Ayy

idle jay
#

Like the entrances would be through the doors in the back

nocturne zephyr
#

We were typing the same thing

#

They're really large interiors too it seems, so it could open up possible Minotaur gameplay

idle jay
#

Yep

#

And to give them their own sort of gameplay loop it could be a thing where once you clear it of infestations then you could have the chance to reactivate the station. It would take a lot of work but if you manage to do it successfully then that system can start being populated again. You could even claim the station as your own and you would have control over certain things

solid cliff
#

Claim systems so?

uncut harness
#

clam systems?!?

#

Oh

solid cliff
#

That would fit with faction war

haughty rover
#

@idle jay stop talking dirty to us..

idle jay
#

Can't help myself ๐Ÿ˜

haughty rover
#

It's HG though

#

The station will call u when a light breaks. And u will have to go and fix it yourself

idle jay
#

Then you could hire some maintenance guys to do it for you for a certain unit rate

haughty rover
#

Then why can't I do that with me freighters

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

solid cliff
#

It would be another game lel

#

Nms x stellaris

idle jay
#

It would be cool if we could reclaim derelict freighters. But one of the problems would be that the shapes are all the same

haughty rover
#

Derelicts have totally different docking methods

idle jay
#

Yes

haughty rover
#

That's kind of dumb

idle jay
#

It would be an exclusive docking thing and it would have the exclusive interior

#

Idk I'm just spitballing here

haughty rover
#

I'm off to eat food

#

Bye

idle jay
#

Bye

#

But yeah the idea was just me expanding on the bit about exploring abandoned space stations. Something to make that deep and meaningful rather than some little side thing

solid cliff
#

It could be just like derelict freighters

#

Which would be better than 2 rooms with nothing

nocturne zephyr
#

Skull have fun eating

Key word: Explore

uncut harness
#

Exactly

fluid obsidian
#

Just wondering has anyone ever found a lexx ship in nms? Is it even possible in the proc gen?

mental socket
#

they could use the death animation in one of the weekend missions where (fake) Ariadne shoots the NPC you were supposed to meet

nocturne zephyr
#

is that confirmed?

mental socket
#

Nope

#

Speculation

#

For the use of unused npc death animation

#

But the part of fake ariadne shooting someone is confirmed unless HG wants to change Gregs story I guess?

nocturne zephyr
#

hmmmMm

cosmic sandal
#

Any certain way to find portals?

heady wyvern
#

@cosmic sandal Find a monolith first, pass the trial, interact again to sacrifice a relic appropriate to the system's dominant race.

cosmic sandal
#

Oh boy.

heady wyvern
#

You'll need:
-A Gek Relic for Gek systems
-A Vy'keen Dagger for Vy'keen systems
-A Korvax Casing for Korvax systems

cosmic sandal
#

So much work smh

heady wyvern
#

You only need one of these items. Check the ships that land on trading posts.

cosmic sandal
#

Just wanna get to the center and I got all this extra work ๐Ÿ˜ค

heady wyvern
#

You didn't expect it to be easy, I hope.

cosmic sandal
#

So I went through a portal, and now I can't use the galaxy map? Portal interference? Whaaa?

#

Welp, I'm not manually warping 700 ly at a time to the core so... GG Nms. It was kinda fun sometimes

crisp fern
#

@Vowely#7454 for quick travel to the center you want black hole routes more than portals

#

wait really? lmao

#

they joined just to ask for fast travel to the centre? thonk

wind topaz
#

so umm

#

idk if i beat the story or not

#

i went to the atlas

#

and i reset the simulation

#

and i ended up in a different galaxy

#

does that end the story?

mighty rampart
#

pretty much

#

now you're free of incessant story pings

wind topaz
#

yay

#

dont know what kind of playstyle i wanna do yet

mighty rampart
#

keep messing with stuff until you find something you're comfortable doing

#

just like job hunting irl

rocky pelican
#

I feel like having the Atlas cockpit decoration is the equivalent of having a Memento Mori charm

slender idol
#

dont the cockpit charms do something?

mighty rampart
#

no its just decoration

mental socket
#

they give slight stat boosts that aren't described in the item information popup

#

handling, hyperdrive range etc

#

@slender idol

slender idol
#

interesting. is this documented somewhere?

#

i mean, im sure the effect is negligable. but it still gives me an incentive to choose one over the other for a particular ship

mental socket
#

I don't think it has been documented

#

Polo figurine should give slight handling boost. I use it with my fighters

slender idol
#

by documented i mean a reddit link would be fine

prime inlet

figurines that give bonuses uh; what's the one that gives HD range, please?

ornate forum
#

think thats atlas

prime inlet
#

good, i already have that one ๐Ÿ™‚

prime inlet
#

did some more testing. on my end, Atlas figurine added approx +88 LY. it was also noted that it has no adjacency with other hyperdrive tech/mods. polo's gives +10 to maneuverability. need to retest nada's.

some of it is now in game, particularly the atmosphere and lighting changes

uncut harness
#

There was a ship customization thing

#

And a multitools one too Iirc

mighty rampart
#

some flora/fauna assets it shows in the video already exists, but I think they're likely updated textures for the lighting update

prime inlet
#

wind turbines?

#

oh man ๐Ÿ˜„

#

solar+wind power

#

already imagining using them to extend base radius/carry power cables

mighty rampart
#

yeah I figured they felt solar was already good enough, or they couldnt get wind turbines to work how they wanted it to and scrapped it for now

#

but otherwise, most datamined stuff I remember has been implemented in the game now

balmy nimbus
#

wind turbines are here since industrial update

mighty rampart
#

nice dream u had there buddy

balmy nimbus
#

august 25th 2019

mighty rampart
#

yeah but its not in the game actually

balmy nimbus
#

well it's still not, is it ?

mighty rampart
#

I already said wind turbines have not been implemented into the game

#

I was asking other similar stuff like that which is in the datamines but not officially there

balmy nimbus
#

I misunderstood then

#

some datamines never comes to life, btw

mighty rampart
#

true, that's why I was curious to know what all still hasnt made it to the game since the datamines from Next and after

timid mist
#

Some of the videos that mentioned new stuff in datamining were mentioning stuff that has been there for a year or since release

mighty rampart
#

because aside from minor details, it seems like most of it has been

balmy nimbus
#

ambient mode was datamined 3 years ago

mighty rampart
#

that was probably a beta version of screenshot mode?

balmy nimbus
#

nope

mighty rampart
#

or maybe just a debug camera for them to make cinematics with rather than it be something for us

balmy nimbus
#

this was a free fly mode just to enjoy the game beauty

glass leaf

I remember being in the vc when that was discovered

uncut harness
#

Lastedt experimental is talking a while to hit public

#

I wonder if they delaying it to ship it together with something else soon

It's more likely that half the team is on vacation and they don't want to take risks tho

crisp fern

ping me if it finally fixes photo mode vignette & cloud level options so that they work again, lol

mighty rampart

I wonder if they delaying it to ship it together with something else soon
no not really, just that this particular experimental has been VERY experimental, my game is still pretty flimsy

#

crashes if I reload a save or hyperdrive/teleport often enough

timid mist

I haven't seen those issues but have definitely still seen creature spawn problems

yeah we know how busy you were you little scamp ๐Ÿ˜‰

not allowed to be busy, you live here

Lol

#

Anyways so there was a spammer huh?

mighty rampart
#

ye

idle jay

Glad to see Barky was on the case then

mental socket
#

@balmy nimbus that mode is kinda broken

#

none of the keys do anything and you can only turn the camera around. Also you can't control where it flies...

balmy nimbus
#

I guess this is why this is still on the "datamined" side

mental socket
#

Yeah. I don't think they are developing it at all anymore

#

been the same since Atlas Rises

balmy nimbus
#

Sadly

mental socket
#

well they updated the icon for that mode xD

#

added the glow

mighty rampart
#

probably because its still being used

mental socket
#

hmm, isn't that icon used on discovery menu?

#

somewhere

mighty rampart
#

told u its more than likely a cinematic camera mode they use internally for footage

#

gib

stuck hinge
wind topaz
#

all i did was reset the simulation

crisp fern
#

you ever think about how the whole new story (Artemis Path) is just a convoluted way of hitting a restart button or deciding not to

gusty stream
#

I've heard that experimental players can place down derelict freighter parts

#

Can someone confirm?

timid mist
#

yeah

gusty stream
#

๐Ÿ‘€

timid mist
#

they can be unlocked by finding the recipes in derelicts, in random storage containers

gusty stream
#

Any video proof?

#

Or like pictures

timid mist
#

Uhh probably some pics here

#

lemme search

#

can't seem to find now

#

but it is a thing

#

proof: bro trust me

gusty stream
#

Aight lol

gusty stream
#

This video has it

crisp fern
#

repair kits best part

#

plus anomaly detectors

timid mist
#

def one of my favorite additions

glass flare
#

repair kits need to just be sold by vendors

timid mist
#

I kind of don't want literally everything to be purchasable though

#

It's nice to actually have to do something to get someting for once lol

glass flare
#

repair kits are the one thing I DON"T want to have to go on a wild goosechase for though, I want to quickly repair something and get back to having fun

#

well theoretical fun

gusty stream
#

^

crisp fern
#

It's nice to actually have to do something to get someting for once lol
@timid mist thing is you basically pay 5 million units for them via emergency broadcast receivers since you can just get them before even exploring the derelict freighter, lol

timid mist
#

I mean there are mutliple options for repairing, it's not a wild goose chase. It's just a fast track if you happen to have them, a convenience. Not everything has to be done one way only

#

and you can get them from things other than derelicts, I know they are rewards for random missions as well

crisp fern
#

like regular secondary missions or nexus missions? I've been meaning to check on that

balmy nimbus
#

So, we are missing four npc's in the anomaly now ?

gusty stream
#

Four?

balmy nimbus
#

Ariane, gemini, hesperus and mercury are gone

proud gale
#

woah

balmy nimbus
#

Things are speeding up

glass flare
#

how many total travelers are there in the Nexus?

yo rip Ariane, gemini, hesperus and mercury

Ariadne

rancid lance
#

i just saw them gone

#

is this a sign of an upcoming major update or this always happens every 'episode' of weekend missions?

#

i'm not new but i just havent been paying attention, i just did them for quicksilv lol

crisp fern
#

lol

#

this is new, whether or not it's foreshadowing update stuff is to be determined

rancid lance
#

i see

crisp fern
#

those paying attention to the story stuff want to believe it is

rancid lance
#

hell i'm barely paying attention to it, and i want to believe it is

crisp fern
#

but given the mission structure is identical to prior quicksilver missions it's very easy to be like eh

glass flare
#

well something will have to happen, they won't just get rid of all the NPCs and not doing anything bigger

coarse kestrel
#

Yall omfg this starbirth mission physically hurts my body why do they give you three coordinates like omg stop

#

This isnt fun like can the devs change it into fight a lot of sentinels or something and then they give you the coords like

I feel trolled

#

Im 2/3 on filling the soul chamber

Actually will any grave work?

#

Like what if you get a friend to commit sprint to the REAL finish

mighty rampart
#

lmao

tawdry mica
#

So what happened last weekend mission? Feels like I missed a lot

mighty rampart
#
The result of a fellow Traveller's ambition exceeding their grasp.

Hesperus was working with the Korvax to try to simulate the Abyss itself. It came for them instead.

If Hesperus returns to us, do you believe we can still trust them?

They have much to answer for.```
#

This is what Mercury says when you talk to them before leaving

#
These anomalies continue to spreadโ€ฆ

Knowledge stones will lead the way. It is all we can hope to do.

You will find the next incursion through a portal.```
#

and then when you feed the disturbance, you get this

#
The anomaly ceases. I think back to Mercury's doubts... to the failures of Hesperusโ€ฆ
My fellow Travellers are doing their best. We must help each other, I know.

And with the thought, another slithers down my spine.

It is not my own. It is a voice within me.

I must [help it].```
#

the help it was highlighted

tawdry mica
#

Uh ohhhhhhh

#

Ten bucks the player is the abyss

mighty rampart
#

well ||if you are interested the next mission texts have been datamined||

mighty rampart
#

uh when did boundary failures get more logs

#

oh nvm its the same stuff

obtuse tree
#

where can i find all missions text from community event plz ?*

@mighty rampart mind DMing the next event messages? I'm going on a work trip then, won't be able to play

Tyler Split Durden

mighty rampart
#

Later weekend missions spoiler theories: ||The Abyss really sounds more and more like a counterpart to the Atlas, it sounds like they even went ahead and started replacing Travellers made by the Atlas and that just sounds real messed up||

surreal forum
#

This is starting to sound a lot like ||The Traveller|| and ||The Darkness||

mighty rampart
#

yeah

waxen garnet
#

Isn't the abyss simply the "death" of Atlas?

wanton path
#

maybe The Abyss is a try to shutdown the Atlas? from outside? Some wanted to "stop" de Myriad thing during WT...

waxen garnet
#

Wishful thinking :

mighty rampart
#

No, disregarding future missions the Abyss has already set up to be a parallel to the Atlas as if its some sort of a backup that decided to work on its own and antagonistically

#

and in the current weekend mission, even we are seemingly keen to help the Abyss by using us to copy all the planets

waxen garnet
#

The Abyss is a total reboot of the Atlas simulation.

#

Or a back up

mighty rampart
#

it sounds more like we're building a whole backup of the multiverses

waxen garnet
#

Hence the planet copying

#

Yes!

#

I'm not that out of the loop!

mighty rampart
#

and now we have more travellers missing

#

this weekend mission we will be talking to Tethys since that is the only guy left among the "useless" travellers in the space anomaly

uncut harness
#

Don't call my buddy Tethys useless!

mighty rampart
#

I used quotes for a reason :^)

uncut harness
#

Jk but you're right

#

I thought Abyss were another system / galaxy, but seeing this lore it doesn't fit

mighty rampart
#

why would it be a system/galaxy lol

#

if anything, its more plausible its the Atlas counterpart where it also has simulated an alternate universe

uncut harness
#

Dunno, the references to not drink water, the dark freighter, a place for the Korvax to meet to simulate it

mighty rampart
#

the Abyss communicates with us through the water

uncut harness
#

I'm wondering if all the lore bits so far are just red herrings

#

Or if we will actually see them later on

mighty rampart
#

honestly now it doesnt feel like so

#

this is quite fleshed out

#

in old legends, water is used to describe parallel worlds

#

we're seeing ourselves in a different "light"

waxen garnet
#

The Abyss was the name of the underwater update. I never did the storyline. How does it relate to the Abyss we are talking about now?

mighty rampart
#

its more of a side thing of some travellers discovering a monument

waxen garnet
#

Ah

#

Ok

mighty rampart
#

well not the traveller race, some NPCs

obtuse tree
#

thx

#

@mighty rampart for the community mission list text

mighty rampart
#

tldr: a freighter crashes in a planet, you read their logs and its a general description of the surviving members dying one by one to natural events

#

and the last one starts going crazy about some voices in the head talking about the Abyss

uncut harness
#

You mean the Dreams of the Deep mission, right?

mighty rampart
#

yes

waxen garnet
#

Isn't the same voice turning US crazy, now?

mighty rampart
#

yeeep

waxen garnet
#

Well

mighty rampart
#

they have been building up about this stuff since Atlas Rises actually

uncut harness
#

Does it mean Telamon will get corrupted as well as a subroutine of Atlas?

waxen garnet
#

When Nada and Polo get "taken"...

uncut harness
#

I don't think they will

#

Since they are a part of the story line and have features the players use

waxen garnet
#

Of course they will.

uncut harness
#

Same with Helios and all the vendors

#

And let players get soft-locked out of campaign?

#

Yeah, sorry you can't talk to Polo now, he's not here, try in two weeks for Abyss to spit him out

waxen garnet
#

Then, we'll have a fight to the death with both of them in the collapsing Nexus.

#

Light vs Darkness

#

The final battle

wanton path
#

an army will spawn from Nada simulation machine, commanded by Artemis

pseudo frost
#

When is big update coming

mighty rampart
#

I would guess late september

#

after the missions end

waxen garnet
#

No

#

Don't say that.

#

I'm stuck at home with Covid during my yearly two weeks vacation

#

I want the update now.

pseudo frost
#

Tmw is plays station event right

#

I hope there is something at the event

waxen garnet
#

Well

#

Hg hasn't shown anything during any event since release

#

They just follow their own path

patent shale
#

#

also right, whats this "new" shop about in experimental

#

does anyone know anything

mighty rampart
#

source?

patent shale
#

6:27

#

im not italian so i cant understand at all

mighty rampart
#

oooh I didnt know this

#

interesting

#

so apparently I can auto translate to all languages EXCEPT english, in the youtube auto captions

#

wow

#

oh nvm found it

patent shale
#

i tried translate, but it seems to be struggiling a bit

#

oh wait and 4 npcs are now gone

mighty rampart
#

yeah but he's suggesting that the banners are red and blue, which is the default colour all games use for factions

#

which is well, true

#

seems like it could be implying a new shop or an NPC might appear there and we will decide on what team to be in

#

Team Atlas or Team Abyss?

#

Atlas is Red and note the triangle

#

Abyss would "naturally" be blue (our association of water being blue)

patent shale
#

that would be pretty cool honestly, atlas and abyss makes sense

haughty rover
#

And do what? Seems pointless

mighty rampart
#

its in quite a few games

haughty rover
#

Teams don't fit into nms at all

mighty rampart
#

in game competitions, whoever scores the most in a given week is rewarded

haughty rover
#

Maybe it's faction wars

mighty rampart
#

not pvp but pve

wanton path
#

i'm with red team

#

death to blue team

patent shale
#

it might be something to do with finding the abyss, so like you join a squadron, you do different missions to discover what happens

#

you both get different halves of the story

mighty rampart
#

yeah so I guess they could do some nexus missions where we either help the Atlas or the Abyss and whichever team hits a certain goal they will be rewarded with something and you talk to the NPC for rewards

haughty rover
#

Yes the highest sore will receive 5 ion batteries and 500k

wanton path
#

ATLAS FTW

#

resistance is futile

patent shale
#

abyss mate

#

we are taking you over from the inside

haughty rover
#

Wtf is the abyss anyway

patent shale
#

i think its a virus

#

or corrupted code

#

its something gone wrong in teh atlas

mighty rampart
#

I think its the counterpart of the Atlas

patent shale
#

^

mighty rampart
#

as suggested by boundary failure logs

wanton path
#

Atlas is letting Abyss take confidence

mighty rampart
#

Atlas shut it down but it might have restarted

patent shale
#

yeah i think in the main story it says

haughty rover
#

Oh

patent shale
#

it keeps restarting

#

but it always reappears

#

it as in the atlas

haughty rover

I don't want teams โ˜น๏ธ

wanton path
#

we have someone infiltrated inside Anomaly

#

i'm sure

#

Polo is blind

mighty rampart
#

[-------] is Atlas

wanton path
#

omg Abyss is Neo?

#

uh... on the sixth attempt...

#

i've lived that before

#

there is some dialoge in front of the Atlas, where you shout six times at it, right???

#

during path of atlas i think

patent shale
#

yep

#

i think so

mighty rampart
#

yes

wanton path
#

Oo

mighty rampart
#

its also possible this is just another subroutine similar to Telamon

#

ok I'm about to go a little wild with speculation here

haughty rover
#

@mighty rampart

wanton path
#

or it could just be the fucking Tyler Split Durden Anderson who we are

haughty rover
#

I know what it will be

wanton path
#

anyway, it's getting very interesting

mighty rampart
#

in a bunch of old timey stories, water is associated with facing one's own reflection, drinking the water is in essence confronting your reflection

haughty rover
#

A place to buy blue prints for ships. Afte ryou find enough spare parts In the wild

wanton path
#

i think i need to replay the whole story

#

need to refresh concepts

mighty rampart
#

if you took that idea, the Abyss is the reflection of the Atlas, the Atlas needing to confront itself but in this case the Abyss is taking action

#

by calling out to you and all these travellers

wanton path
#

Atlas going mad soon

mighty rampart
#

"dont drink the water" as in dont confront yourself

wanton path
#

just imagine the last weekend event to be an election... to wipe or not the entire universe

#

to reset the atlas as it mad

haughty rover
#

My idea is better than teams

wanton path
#

RED TEAM GO GO! BRRR

mighty rampart
#

massive spoilers for later missions, dont click unless you dont care: ||The Travellers, notably Ariadne, are being replaced by a copy and the last weekend mission will show this imposter to you and ends with "What has become of Ariadne? Who is the impostor standing in their place?"||

wanton path
#

i'm not clicking that mrchins

mighty rampart
#

hmm then it really is a generic room since those banners behind it are used elsewhere in the anomaly

timid mist
#

what's also interesting is the boundary failure logs have sections that seem to talk about the Traveler as ||a host, with dialogue like "I will wear them", presumably coming from either the spirit of Telamon or Atlas||

#

For reference, 16th and 17th encounters with boundary failures:
||

  • 16TH Encounter

SCENARIO: Portal Network [ PROTOCOL | BREACH ] enabled. The end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end.

The walls of the multiverse collapse, and Traveller can see Traveller, friend can see foe. All hope is lost.

The end approaches. There is no time and no space to say how much I loved life. Only fear is left.

  • 17TH Encounter

SCENARIO: Rampancy.

ANALYSIS: Sometimes I dream of the Traveller.

I will wear them, in time.

Ayo why tf are a bunch of the Nexus NPCs gone

Haven't been playing weekend stuff for a while

should just be hesperus

#

oh yeah it's actually a few of them

#

gemini, hesperus, ariadne, and mercury

Dam

mighty rampart
#

gotta wait till friday to find out huh

fluid obsidian
#

yo wtf first the tall dude now the other dude is gone in the nexus by the couches

#

I would always say hi to them sometimes they would give me stuff ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

mighty rampart
#

๐Ÿค” but they dont give you stuff

fluid obsidian
#

they have given me stuff randomly in the past like "thanks for saying hi friend here"

#

THE DUDE ON THE OTHER SIDE IS GONE TOO

#

mebe my games bugged, the vy'k who stands at the nexus portal is missing aswell

mighty rampart
#

bro they're all gone except the chameleon

fluid obsidian
#

but everyone else is there

mighty rampart
#

its intentional

fluid obsidian
#

the storefolk, the dudes in the upgrade nada and that other guy

mental socket
#

yup

#

all non-working npcs are gone

fluid obsidian
#

like because of where I am in some mission? or game thing?

timid mist
#

it has to do with the weekend story events

mental socket
#

@fluid obsidian wait? Nada?

timid mist
#

ariadne was missing first, then came back. Hesperus was gone last week and now more are

mental socket
#

why is he gone

fluid obsidian
#

I did the last weekend mission it ws just kinda go here

#

nada is still at the nexus for me

#

AmakToday at 11:45 PM
but everyone else is there

#

meant to be apart of that msg

#

must be because too many ppl are on the nexus, covid restrictions only 20ppl allowed at a time or whatever

#

luscky we all have good mask's probably with the aeration rebreather upgrades too

#

other question, do 'community spotlight' bases ever change these days?

mighty rampart
#

yes just not frequently

fluid obsidian
#

do they rotate a list? one of these bases I cant get in because its half buried in terrain surrounded by plants I cant edit =\

#

kinda weird to be chosen I think

mighty rampart
#

no its because of the stupid terrain edits not loading

fluid obsidian
#

ooh I changed 'baseloadingtime' from like 40 seconds to 240 seconds because well Australia. I wonder if that will fix it

#

after I looked at community bases

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ the star brambis are still there but the terrain is fixed!

#

and I can get around the brambis turns out just the terrain

#

<Property name="BaseDownloadTimeout" value="240" /> in GCDEBUGOPTIONS.GLOBAL.exml if anyone is interested.

vocal shoal
#

I guess this is the end game.

crisp fern
#

same as the start game

nocturne zephyr
#

Similar to middle game

crisp fern
#

seriously though, if these weekend missions weren't the main way to get quicksilver next to nobody would even touch them

balmy nimbus
#

I would, lore is still a thing

nocturne zephyr
#

It's the main reason I jump in to play the game at all currently

crisp fern
#

i only go near them in Creative because the tasks themselves aren't worth it, even for quicksilver

#

Which sucks because they could be as interesting as the writing sometimes is

nocturne zephyr
#

The tasks, definitely not, the new lore, yeah

#

I'd do it for the lore without the Quicksilver

#

I'm hoping as we get closer the formula changes

crisp fern
#

I'd follow them for the narrative if they weren't timegated missions, lol

#

Just gimme them through talking to the travelers after some other story stuff

#

Like say this recent stuff only starts happening after completing Artemis Path & Dreams of the Deep, bit by bit after so many warps or somesuch

#

Like all of a sudden you get a new call from Nada & Polo that there's some chatter going around by other travelers of investigating new, different disturbances & gradually lead into the Abyss as they already have

#

But instead of playing fetch quest you just talk to them and get weird reports or whatever.

Ideally you'd have new POIs that display disturbance instead of just text, so failing that reports are just as well.

fluid obsidian
#

First time I ever saw more than 1 traveller in a station so i took a picture

#

then realised there was a 3rd one!

#

never seen that in hundreds of space station visits

nocturne zephyr
#

i would LOVE if HG could create new points of interest for missions and events that take us to a planet or into space with new assets/npcs/etc

mighty rampart
#

like Visions :^)

nocturne zephyr
#

hMMMM?

crisp fern
#

yeah what?

#

oh, must mean the "new" ruins used for archeology and maybe some of the fossils/scrap was used with new mission types?

nocturne zephyr
#

Ah.

uncut harness
#

Visions is underrated

nocturne zephyr
#

And underwhelming

timid mist
#

It was a minor update after Abyss, added some cool little things

#

the scrap and bones were pretty cool additions to make exploring slightly more interesting, even if they're basically the same

#

glad they're expanding on the scrap with the new rescue type missions though

nocturne zephyr
#

Yes

#

It was a tiny update and it was in between bigger ones so it was a nice surprise, but it was the only update that focused on exploration, aside from abyss and both of those have been smaller than the larger updates that have focused on multiplayer Base building farming and all the other features that avoid procedural generation and mystery

#

Would have preferred if they postponed beyond until this year and released those features with a procedural generation and planetary variation overhaul

#

Voice to text annoying

timid mist
#

I'd argue most of the big stuff added carried a lot of nice QOL stuff as well, so even if you don't like the big stuff the smaller inclusions benefit the game positively typically. I think in some ways it's good they did all of that because they sort of naturally have to bleed into other things now, with Desolation being a good example of that

#

if the rest of the updates this year are of the same type as Desolation I'll be v happy

uncut harness
#

Yeah exactly, that's why I like Visions so much, it made everything a little bit better.

#

Except frozen planets

#

Guess the feature set of those is... frozen.

#

๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

timid mist
#

Lol good one

nocturne zephyr
#

||and dead planets||

timid mist
#

Yeah there's definitely been a clear lack of difference with planets other than lush. I think it's partially a consequence of every planet being one biome type, like even if everything was the same but multiple biomes were allowed on planets I think it'd improve a lot

nocturne zephyr
#

as long as there were more biome types and intermixing of different kinds of biomes than multi biome planets would be fine

#

But with the amount of biomes in the game right now it would weaken exploration

timid mist
#

I don't really see how it would weaken it

nocturne zephyr
#

Less need to take off and go to another planet

timid mist
#

I mean isn't that a good thing, people complain they only spend like 10 minutes on planets now

nocturne zephyr
#

I'm just saying it wouldn't work currently with the small amount of biomes we have, but I like the idea

timid mist
#

Even if you spend less time moving between planets it would make the surfaces of individual ones that much more interesting

nocturne zephyr
#

I don't know if I feel like getting into the discussion right now cuz I get into it too much, but I think each biome should have multiple sub biomes that fit into them

timid mist
#

That would probably be better

#

Would help address weird hard transitions between something like a hot and a frozen biome on planets

nocturne zephyr
#

Yeah

timid mist
#

Mir maybe introduce transition biomes that procedurally mix two biomes and only appear at that in between space

uncut harness
#

Cannot find the 5th creature in current nexus mission (survey a planet).. any recommendations for the mission?

#

Some sub biomes could be done without new assets

#

say a meadow next to a forest

#

Thats a large area with trees next to a large area with few trees.

#

Why Sean, why is the engine so underutilized

nocturne zephyr
#

Yep. They could do a lot more just with the distribution of planetary assets

uncut harness
#

Tundra is just a frozen desert

nocturne zephyr
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ ๐Ÿ˜” ๐Ÿ‘Œ

#

If they allowed this, maybe they could even make the procedural region names match the biome type

uncut harness
#

adding some new ground textures could also help a ton, ground textures are underrated.

crisp fern
#

blending different biomes, as they are now, would make it even more apparent how minimally different they are in terms of environmental hazards & such

Sort of like how it's barely different going from the surface to underground. Looks a bit different but plays basically the same but without the hazard drain because need an improv shelter i guess?

waxen garnet
#

That's right

timid mist
#

Not saying it's the perfect solution, but seeing "hot planet" and knowing what basicallyt every inch of that planet is going to look like in terms of color, distribution, types of plants, etc, would at least be partially mitigated by having different biomes scattered logically around. Obviously would be further improved by other things at the same time, wasn't meant to be a single fix lol

waxen garnet
#

That's kinda what I do with my MOD

#

But even then it's not perfect

timid mist
#

There are just some fundamental things that would need to change for it to improve, but it still does what it tries to do better than any other game I've played so far and that's why keeps me coming back

waxen garnet
#

The problem with NMS is that it goes into many interesting directions, but never finishes what it started

#

outside base building, of course

crisp fern
#

Given so many other open world games that don't involve building are basically single biome/single biome cityscapes yeah...Not hard to see why one would keep coming back to NMS.

Even with planets in their current states there's more variety than other open world action/adventure games

mighty rampart
#

that's debatable too

uncut harness
#

Base builder isn't finished either lol

waxen garnet
#

ok

#

it's not perfect

uncut harness
#

Tons of clipping and placement issues

waxen garnet
#

but it got way more attention since foundation

mighty rampart
#

the whole power and industrial thing was very underutilized

crisp fern
#

it's literally two different styles of building parts smashed together, lol

mighty rampart
#

at the very least they could have added some sort of automatic refiner type of deal

crisp fern
#

But also yeah it has received more focus than almost any other feature introduced post-release

waxen garnet
#

the ocean gets wider and wider with each update

#

still an inch deep for the most part

mighty rampart
#

thank god they at least went a little deep with Desolation

#

love the idea of getting some unique base parts and upgrading your freighter storage by exploring them

crisp fern
#

but you do that now with salvaged tech things /s

mighty rampart
#

really hope they expand upon this sort of style on other aspects of the game rather than just being more money dumps

waxen garnet
#

That is good gameplay for NMS

#

rewards through exploration

#

not just hoarding units/nanites and buying in the nexus/space station

karmic coyote
#

Melt down a Korvax update when?

uncut harness

I dont mind the space anomaly and the whole salvage data/nanite stuff still sticking around as its a decent way to skip progression if needed

#

Fauna is getting an update

#

New seed and filter line in the global file

#

That's good, right?

mighty rampart
#

but they should make those base missions a little more interesting than just pure fetch quests

uncut harness
#

Yep

mighty rampart
#

I'm fine with fetch quests for the farmer as it teaches you where to even get the plants to begin with

#

rest of them are ehh

waxen garnet
#

Also, I'm trying to make those MFs birds land using a new function

#

doesn't seem to work

nocturne zephyr
#

i want to see the birds land

uncut harness
#

I want to see land birds

#

Like emus

nocturne zephyr
#

chickens

#

in a way, we have fauna closer to that

uncut harness
#

NMS fauna is too scaly

#

Some fluff would be cool

fluid obsidian
#

insects and microbiology would be cool, dig dirt up and find bugs, take them to your farmer unlock farming improvements (probably need to nerf farming for it tho lol)

uncut harness
#

I like that idea

nocturne zephyr
#

so many species they could add to the pool, though rigging/skeletons are a lot of work

#

so if they do, hopefully they devote a large portion of the team to the job

#

also, adding fur physics for next gen would be nice

uncut harness
#

Hopefully they won't do a Next and remove all the current skeletons in the process

nocturne zephyr
#

ugh

fluid obsidian
#

mine would just be collector cards probably. collect bugs to start a research that needs more bugs, maybe unlock something like the hot plant grows 2x better when using 'fertalized' soil

#

feed the bugs to zugs chickens for good eggs

uncut harness
#

Then feed the eggs to Cronus for carpal tunnel

nocturne zephyr
#

as long as they're procedural

fluid obsidian
#

find an anomilous bug, feed it to a chicken, get a void egg.

uncut harness
#

Every egg procedural

#

Bamboo planet ๐ŸŽ ๐ŸŽ ๐ŸŽ‹ ๐ŸŽ

tawdry mica
#

Fauna update? Iโ€™m interested

nocturne zephyr
#

ohhhh bamboo would be nice

#

imagine a turtle that disguised itself by the bamboo that grew out of its shell, and it could burrow underground to hide in bamboo forests.

#

i need to draw that

fluid obsidian
#

@nocturne zephyr let me grow a mould on my bamboo and use it to kill fleas on my r2d2 spacedog. Teach the kids some more biochemistry they prob think carbon is actually red because of nms hehe

nocturne zephyr
#

lol

idle jay
#

Thatโ€™s really cool Zug

nocturne zephyr
#

not often does nms inspire me (to make art)

solid cliff
#

Did you rly do this in 30 min

nocturne zephyr
#

lol, i told you, i rarely actually feel inspired by nms to draw

#

and i had an urge

solid cliff
#

That's fking insane

#

Real talent

nocturne zephyr
#

hey thanks!

#

anyway, i'm hoping their art team is sitting down and brainstorming fauna design/interactions.

solid cliff
#

Send them some creatures, I'm sure you could catch their attention ๐Ÿ‘€

nocturne zephyr
#

maybe i will.

ember heart
#

how tf do i have to interprete the end

#

was the simulation actually real?

valid holly
#

@ember heart "This is just a simulation / You are just an illustration / Lines and pixels on a sheet of paper"

ember heart
#

But the simulation got destroyed and you got yeeted into a new Galaxy but the Euclid is still there, that's what is strange

valid holly
#

All the galaxies across all the multiverse are simulations. And it all ends in sixteen minutes.

ember heart
#

And how do bases etc still exist after said 16 minutes, do your Brain get a reboot into thinking all the progress you made before was always there?

valid holly
#

Sixteen minutes to the Atlas may be eons of time for the simulations.

mental socket
#

Yup

#

we're currently somewhere between 10 and 5 mins

#

It was 16mins with Atlas Rises and probably 10 with NEXT-Beyond

#

Boundary failure entries 21-30 seem to open up the lore quite a bit about what happens with the Atlas and its creator(s)

#

they've been recently added

nocturne zephyr
#

wow

#

i wonder what their plan is

mental socket
#

read past entry 21

#

it gets really interesting

nocturne zephyr
#

shall do

valid holly
#

The End [of the Simulation] is Nigh

karmic coyote
#

I think Atlas doesn't delete the universe on reboot, he saves it, but booting it causes another galaxy to exist and adds to the strain

#

The more and more he resets, the harder it will be to run

tawdry tusk
#

the real main antagonist of the game was processing power

#

also, mostly unrelated, but what do y'all say the odds of an anniversary update are?

karmic coyote
#

TBH I could go for one of those, even if it's just a bug fix one

#

REALLY wouldnt mind a bug fix...

tawdry tusk
#

i'm kinda 50/50 atm (it's only been a month since the last update, but that was also the case for desolation, and whatever the content is could've been worked on in advance)

valid holly
#

Still patching Desolation...

pliant compass
#

You know. I gotta wonder. After the universal reset, I'm surprised YOU dont become the Atlas

burnt hornet
#

Patching, got it

valid holly
#

You know. I gotta wonder. After the universal reset, I'm surprised YOU dont become the Atlas
@pliant compass A bit like the Mormons?

pliant compass
#

Yeah

#

Unless. You arent you after the reset

valid holly
#

I which case you're dead in any way that matters.

pliant compass
#

probably a better fate than Armetis

valid holly
#

@pliant compass You're probably right, though, with that "I will wear them soon" comment from the boundary failure

#

Also, how do you do strike-through font?

uncut harness
#

What do boundary failures do

burnt hornet
#

@valid holly you do two of these ~ in front and in back of your text

#

--hehe--

#

the tilde

#

i dont know if that shows on here

valid holly
#

test

#

Nice!

idle jay
#

I am very excited to see how the Atlasโ€™s remaining minutes unfold

karmic coyote
#

Atlas finally dies, and the traveler's base, not the brainscan of the traveler just lets the Atlas be shutdown for an hour before turning him back on, and BAM, temps are normal

#

It can be that dumb and I love it

haughty rover
#

Reset the galaxy

#

Can freely travel between them..

vestal ledge
#

screw resetting the galaxy, or the universe. We out here recreating the big bang

#

we out here resetting time

sullen shadow
#

Has anything been datamined apart from lore?

exotic flame
#

I'm having issues with the big freighter mission that costs 5m units. I cant get trough one of the first doors and that wont let me finnish the mission.

haughty rover
#

@exotic flame

#

It's a bug they are taking there sweet ass time fixing

uncut harness
#

What's up with the 31st Boundary Failure encounter?

#
  • 31ST Encounter

ERROR

ATLAS

ERROR

ERROR

THEY SEE YOU

meager stag
#

Yo, I hear Soleth Prime was mentioned in the mp missions?

nocturne zephyr
#

Yes

meager stag
#

I'm out of the loop

#

new datamined stuff? or just in game? what be happenin'

#

Ah I'm doing my homework on this actually, don't worry about it. Hopefully leads to T H I N G S.

nocturne zephyr
#

I'm not the best one to answer tbh, but yeah, NPCs mentioned soleth prime again

meager stag
#

Yeah, more of them missing, mentions of sp, abyss... also saw that there's a weird unknown dlc depot thing on steamdb?! Last updated 7 months ago but only became visible in the last month or somethin g

#

Things are afoot

nocturne zephyr
#

Mhm

timid mist
#

Pretty sure that's been around for a couple months and it's likely nothing

inland cloak
#

The time has come, i am heading to the galactic center for the first time.

jovial forum
#

Good luck @inland cloak !

idle jay
#

Wait again?

#

...

#

This feels...like more than a coincidence

inland cloak
#

Wdym?

crisp fern
#

i think they're responding to an hours old comment, lol

glass flare
#

i think they're just trolling us with Soleth Prime

idle jay
#

That would make sense if it was just the one time

crisp fern
#

No, it would be an easter egg then, multiple times with no changes or additions to appeal to the tease eventually becomes trolling

#

far more if they keep teasing it while simultaneously reducing variety, lol

idle jay
#

Yeah you're right. Just didn't expect it to be mentioned a second time. I guess we'll see what happens as the year goes on

proud gale
#

Where is it mentioned the 2nd time?

#

Can't find it in the weekend mission texts

nocturne zephyr
#

i think i'm mixing it up with other interactions mentioning soleth prime

timid mist
#

Yeah don't believe it was mentioned recently, it was mentioned in one of the previous weekend mission interactions before the story oriented ones

uncut harness
#

Chat died down

mighty rampart
#

I REALLY hope end of weekend missions spawns a new lore update

#

rather than it just being yeah guess we done here, now have a new toy

crisp fern
#

lol

#

new toy update

nocturne zephyr
#

i can see them doing less extensive lore-focused updates like Abyss

willow stirrup
#

One has to be coming. Why else hasn't 2.62 come out yet? Next Friday is the 1 year anniversary of Beyond, and this month is the 4 year anniversary is NMS

mighty rampart
#

one is definitely coming mid september after the weekend missions

#

but I think they will miss out on the anniversary update on the time of anniversary because of pandemic messing their schedule

timid mist
#

I'd also be surprised if a variation update happened because the weekend event files literally have the resources you need from each planet as well as a description of exactly what type of planet it sends you to

willow stirrup
#

Would be understandable if that were the case

timid mist
#

Obviously they could change them but I just don't know if I see that happening

#

But it could happen after the events are done late September

mighty rampart
#

I'm confident that they planned crossplay to hit in May, Desolation in June, whatever 2.7 will be in July and then August being the 3.0 update

#

but it all got shifted one month later by skipping on May

crisp fern
#

VR 2.0

timid mist
#

They definitely planned the gap in weekend events cause that was even in the files lol

nocturne zephyr
#

i don't expect VR 2.0 until next gen VR hits

mighty rampart
#

oh they did, but the gap came about later than they intended I think

crisp fern
#

VR 1.5

timid mist
#

It lined up exactly by date with the stuff in the files

mighty rampart
#

huh

nocturne zephyr
#

pro patch when?

timid mist
#

I'd be curious when it was added but it was definitely before the actual gap

gloomy isle
#

Anything interesting happen?

mighty rampart
#

so even with the craziness they managed to keep it to schedule then?

#

nah just speculation

timid mist
#

As far as I can tell yeah

mighty rampart
#

damn, that's solid props to HG

timid mist
#

Hard to say without a solid line of diffs for the schedules table for every minor version

#

But I'm confident we won't see any sort of planet overhaul type thing before the weekend events are up since they pretty much had to have scouted locations for the missions

gloomy isle
#

I heard the people who are making s.t.a.l.k.e.r 2 are finding working from home easier so it might not have affected stuff so mucb

mighty rampart
#

yep same

timid mist
#

yeah software is definitely easier to take remote but I'm sure there were still adjustments

gloomy isle
#

But maybe a September update could be in order, with an announcement around the anniversary?

mighty rampart
#

if anything, I am willing to bet we are just getting 2.62 next week along with a blog post about it being anniversary time now

gloomy isle
#

I hope we get news

mighty rampart
#

yeah I wouldnt be surprised if they teased us with some info for September or just generally saying "something big is gonna happen"

willow stirrup
#

I just wonder why it's been so long between 2.61 and the upcoming 2.62

crisp fern
#

all i want from the next small fix update is photo mode to be fully functional again, lol

nocturne zephyr
#

i like when Sean tweets " small ๐Ÿค "

willow stirrup
mighty rampart
#

no

nocturne zephyr
#

eh

mighty rampart
#

that's just a player's screenshot

gloomy isle
#

That's from the current version

willow stirrup
#

Oh

#

Didn't know it was a screenshot

mighty rampart
#

he shares other player's screenshots every so often

#

witthout any comment to it or anything, just bam here's a pic I love

nocturne zephyr
#

a beautiful screenshot

#

that constantly reminds me

#

how shallow oceans are

mighty rampart
#

but sometimes they arent

#

just like that image

#

variety

nocturne zephyr
#

it's hard to explain what I mean, but it's kinda immersion breaking when you enter an ocean and can get to the sea floor so fast without anything approaching you and catching you off guard. In a way, it's about pacing, and the building of tension, as it's done on derelict freighters with the player's walk speed slowed down.

#

I don't get really any sense of discovery when doing so in oceans currently. but if they increase the depth limit a lot, while also maybe allowing water to get darker the deeper you go, and introducing new fauna types that can be way larger than what's in the game currently, i'll have reasons to explore with and without the nautilon.
