i dont use them that much though, so i put tetracobalt in my personal, and in the blue bar it says requested operation: cobalt cracking
i couldve just never noticed though
I've personally had some weird occurances as well
sometimes refineries take in a max stack of 20 jelly and sometimes only 10
same, i cant figure out what the difference is
i cant get that lil eye to appear in my large or any other size
but the recycle waste materials shows up when you put goo in
residual goop becomes viscous fluids
viscous fluids becomes living slime which becomes nanites
thats worked for at least a month though
(first time i tried it)
The output names change based on what you're refining. That one has been "recycle waste" since I started playing a whole six months ago.
i never noticed the little tip text, was always pump and run, or pop something in while docking at station or nexus and close asap
I didn't notice it until I read the description in the wiki
oh um, living slime becomes runaway mold not nanites
then runaway mold is 5:1 nanites
you can buy residual goop at some stations though which is pretty dank
Uh, I knew about the text, but didn't notice the arrow.
im on experimental, it doesnt show on mine, even with the same mats... unlucky I guess
ok so I guess im going to be making a figurines page for the wiki, any dataminers have the graphics for the bobbles? Might be wrong channel but I see the most talk about datamining in here
Anyone know when the weekly missions end?
we sure it wasnt the lighting overhaul that changed hesperus' appearance?
whole face is blown out in the before
@uncut harness @vocal shoal hesperus' eyes look the same in april as they do now, tho it seems like in certain lighting they go full white like i showed above
nice work, yea it looks like some of the visual tweaking they did made it look a bit diff
Ah ok. Thought i was wrong when i saw the wiki.
Good eye
damn it would have made sense if the colour did change
This weeks lore was very interesting I've gotta say
the whole 6 lines of it 😛
what was this weeks lore?
@rough depot You’re fine with finding it out without doing the mission?
yes
Alright
missions kinda boring ngl 😔
Fair
||Null's grave, huh||
meant to post this first, then the above one second
also I never noticed the implications of this before, now its quite interesting
these stones are the imposters that are overlapping the "real" stones
if you want more proof, after you are done interacting with the stones once you can interact again to get the race word as usual
so my theory is that when these stones gave the impression of being underwater, its not that these imposter stones were actually once flooded but the corruption (Abyss) is replacing them and so you get to see the vision of the Abyss when you touch these
one of the possible dialogues with an NPC Korvax in POIs can be this:
The electronic lifeform examines me as I stand before it. They see everything, not just my expression but my exosuit, my breathing, everything they can observe.
The Korvax speaks with multiple voices, lights rapidly fading in and out of focus upon its mask. More than one lifeform inhabits this body.
Each shows me a projection of water, oceans, streams... each seems panicked.
{Say you do not understand}
The Korvax unit does not respond, its lights growing completely dark before another soul fills its carapace.
It offers Nanite Clusters on behalf of its previous occupant, but appears to possess little memory of what it said before.
---TECHFRAG_S---
{Show them water}
The Korvax unit does not respond, its lights growing completely dark before another soul fills its carapace.
It offers Nanite Clusters on behalf of its previous occupant, but appears to possess little memory of what it said before.
---TECHFRAG_S---
{Seek coordinates}
The Korvax unit does not respond, its lights growing completely dark before another soul fills its carapace.
It offers Nanite Clusters on behalf of its previous occupant, but appears to possess little memory of what it said before.```
this was added back in 1.3
Abyss wolrd slowly overlaping Atlas one
Ooh
Seems like generation changes would be a logical result of this, story wise
And the missions end in September (?)
I don't know if it's true
But I heard that the last Quicksilver item to be unlocked ingame right now is a title
And it's 'everything procedural' or something like that.
NMS meetup yesterday, Captain Steve said a dataminer told him
Also he said he made a video about that, but his videos are all over the place and I haven't found it.
Ah ok
I'll have a look
Imo the most likely month for a sizable update is September
@uncut harness It's in the NMS assistant app under a tab which shows everything that's been datamined in specific updates, it's definitely there, but I'm not sure how people can tell it's going to be the LAST quicksilver reward though....But according to the NMS assistant app it will be the last reward.
I am extremely confused about how the atlas path ends
it sent me through a black hole into a semingly random system
and poof
the atlas path is missing
do i need to work on crafting remembrance now?
or did something go wrong

Oh cool PT, didn't know the app had that
what does star seed do
but I'm not sure how people can tell it' LAST quicksilver reward though....
@dusk sorrel iirc there's a thing called the shop number or shop index or something like that determines it.
So stuff with shop number 2 would come after the stuff with shop number 1 is unlocked
And once the last shop number is unlocked, the game must be updated to add more of them.
So probably those titles have the highest shop number in the files right now, and that's how they call tell.
@gloomy isle the gen already started to change
@balmy nimbus in what way though?
So what's going on with hesperus
Textures since crossplay
where is the ending
That one might be a bug
@static urchin nice pseudo
Wat
evolving bug then, going for better
You mean the terrain textures bug that makes rocky and cliff textures disappear?
I assumed you meant that. As Im not aware of any other changes.
yes, it changed twice
yeah, currently it works better now
once when crossplay came, then 2.62 ( did not notice 2.61 change)
more subtle transition from a texture to another
earlier all of them were having that and it looked so bad
thank god it got fixed though it was not listed in the notes
no this is intentional
but before there were almost no mountain textures
they fixed that now
I bet this is not the last state
I just assumed it was a unintended side effect of the 'various small optimizations' they do every update
ah I can believe that
in fact they should keep messing with it as part of weekend mission's story
I'm sure they will
Since Living ships, we see more and more stuff coming from Abyss world
so did i "beat" the game or where is the ending to the atlas path
where could this Living whales ships come from ?
Has there always been a lens flare in the loading screen when you first start the game?
@fervent eagle they changed the lens flare recently (desolation update)
The game doesn't really end
Even after you complete every storyline, it doesn't exactly end
||or if you go to every galaxy||
anyone else have problems with activating knowledge stones? Usually when I reload, it fixes the problem...
Nope, no problems here
weird... I go up to a knowledge stone, walk all around it and look at it at different angles and the prompt never shows up
me asking nada and polo for atlas station coords for the first time
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

WHY DOES THIS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE
is it just me or am i seeing a little more variety? yesterday i saw an amazing mountain range. it was absolutely huge
Just you
already existed
just the terrain textures have changed around a bit so that even mountains and cliff sides can have grass
weird... I go up to a knowledge stone, walk all around it and look at it at different angles and the prompt never shows up
@fervent eagle the range is just poorly set so you have to be right up on them from the correct angle
Anyone think it might be time for another small content update soon?
maybe
fixes
Actually looking at it, it's roughly a month between each
fixes over content
Apart from between living ship and exo mech
living ship mission chain is still broken ffs
No it's not? At least for me it works fine
lingering parts
Ooh that
Yeah I just got rid of them
Didn't mind too much
But yeah I bet within a week or two we'll get another mini update, and maybe a bigger one in September
Tbf they're fast with most fixes
for the most recent stuff
yeah, 2.62 was by far the slowest for some reason
otherwise they patch pretty quick
probably working on other updates
Old bugs just kinda accumulate over time
^
or just maybe HG is in negotiations with Chris Roberts
tfw still no fixed water horizon because of the fog changes
Yeah, or the double water surface thing
Base building has lots of bizarre clipping or placement issues.
Tons of issues that are years old
big update coming september. calling it
which is why you'd be better off focusing an update on fixing them imo
One extra patch per content update would be great.
what good is content if it's littered with broken stuff along the way that, at its worst, prevents you from seeing the rest, and at best makes a bunch of stuff look bad
I remember one patch a long time ago
It claimed to have optimized the process the game uses to place assets, like trees, rocks and such
Next line was, that because it was better now, they increased the density of assets.
So they go improve that probably to make the pop in less awful
Then make it work harder and probably completely offset any improvement in the process.
I have a gtx2080, all settings to max, still have pop in.... lol
i love how the weekend mission planet had a complete black night sky. it was beautiful
So about the suspected september update
There are 15 weekened missions, last one was the 10th
so they end the 19th of september
So there's a decent chance the update will happend the week after that.
Gosh I hope it's something they've been working on for longer than 2 months
the lore in these weekend missions seem to lead to something big soon
fingers crossed
Wonder if the mission structures will change
I assume not, but would be a nice build up to change up the formula
As we get closer
what do you think this update will be ?
I don't think I want to speculate right now lol
It could very well end up being something very unexpected
WH 40k crossover
😩 😩 😩
Unexpected
Yess
these weekend missions are the new waking titan basically
The new Lore keeps me jumping back in each weekend for a little bit, but waking Titan had much more variation than these do
I think it's building up to something
The boundary thingies got new lore too not too long ago
Was other new stuff added?
I remember people checked the Traveller interactions, but nothing new was found.
Not sure, but I think I saw what you're referring to
I've havent heard anything about the freighter and ship beacons
There was some traveler stuff that I thought was slightly sus but is probably old stuff
Probably
This right here
Then make it work harder and probably completely offset any improvement in the process.
@uncut harness nearly every update involving the graphics with this game is exactly that
Ye
Verily
Speaking of which the Multi-Sword would be cool to have
I think whacking stuff is very effective in VR
Multisword sweeping attacks could be useful when harvesting di-hydrogen
Maybe the multisword is only wielded by the exomech
Big buster energy sword for the mech pls thx
And a reason to use it
Imagine being able to fly into space with the exo mech and fight ships with a sword
And other mechs
And giant bio horrors that float through space
🦆
The new enemy for exo mechs will be dug
She lurks within the abyss
Get ready for her powerful quack
Lurkers, remember this is the spoilers channel, so anything you see here is guaranteed to be 100% true.
Start buying those exomech upgrades
Yeah
start? I already have the whole set
I just joined for #glyph-investigation and forgot to leave
Same here
And now you’re stuck with us 
I'd like a jetpack upgrade that lets you fly like a plane/ iron man
Hmm honestly that'd be a neat jetpack upgrade
It'd be better than glitch jumping and break immersion less
This was my first message:
^(.)(?:(?!\1).){7}\1(?:(?!\1).)$
#glyph-investigation was so fun
Wow
I'm still disappointed it turned out to be stock video lifted from youtube
It was fun while it lasted
the journey was fun even though the destination sucked
It was about the friends we made along the way after all
the land of stock footage
uh
footage... foot... guess that was the real Abyss after all.
@nocturne zephyr I am not a "lurker" I just like to hide around the corner, just out of sight, listening to every word you guys say.
😏
Where my emoji tweet!!
😠
What if Sean tweets a foot
Then clearly he's been paying attention here
I don't know if I would be able to mentally deal with that.
Lol
Foot cause exploration update, or because trolling? Both?
Imaginary Sean is crushing my mind, stop
That's only going to make him stomp on it more
5 toes that means the next update will cost 5€
||my eyes burn when i play nms lmao||
Multisword sweeping attacks could be useful when harvesting di-hydrogen
@uncut harness possibly the least interesting use of a sword in a game since cutting grass in Legend of Zelda? lol
You mean most interesting
I'd like a jetpack upgrade that lets you fly like a plane/ iron man
@gloomy isle i'd like rocket boots to be more like more boosting over the surface, with the ability to do sick tricks
Megaman Legends had the boosting thing
Yeah rocket boots need to be touched up
It was pretty enjoyable tbh
To be fair it's been probably over a decade since i played it all the way through
turning radious was meh, but still not exomech bad
one of my favorites, even though I don't think the damage was great, was the BEAM LASER
I think that was strictly in 2, but not sure
I think 1 had a laser too
Also I think I do remember what you're describing, like you literally slid over the ground gaining momentum?
Yes
Which is why the turn radius was like eeeeeek turn
with rocket boots i'm thinking like you'd be a little over the ground and it'd be like flaming jet roller skates
I liked to use it to go as fast as posible without colliding into anything, that alone made it satisfying
Late upload 'cause thunderstorm...
Today I decided to take a break from the main quest to go look for the last piece to the most amazing puzzle, the Jetskates!!
Follow me please!
https://twitter.com/Wesaker
Disclaimer.............................................................
Minotaur running should be like that i think
Armored core also had it, I was so disappointed when I realised the mech couldn't do it
oh yeah the whole glyph investigation was really fun! sad it lead to nowhere though
with rocket boots i'm thinking like you'd be a little over the ground and it'd be like flaming jet roller skates
@crisp fern I think this is what you're describing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyW4AsdDRKU&feature=youtu.be&t=117
I'd love that
p. much but with bonus of being able to do cool tricks since they're not stuck on a giant mech
do a blazing grind off the hunched trees on radioactive planets
maybe even skim off some carbon in the process or something
i just want a grappling hook for my exosuit. grappling hooks make every game better
That would make some fun swinging
@solid cliff did they actually change or did people jsut say that and not really check
@fervent eagle the range is just poorly set so you have to be right up on them from the correct angle
@crisp fern
That's annoying af, man
@timid mist ?
Zoid
Zug
Leon
So, can anyone help me? I've finished the Artemis Path, I've done the Atlas thing but the only thing i can still do is creating stars and travel trough blackholes for that mission, are there more Path/missions i can do?
I do think the combo of the three figurines and the mention of ||Null at the grave|| in the last weekend mission is interesting :3
@solid cliff I was asking about hesperus' eyes
People seem to agree on this
ah
Well I'm glad that he's not all corrupted or anything
I wish they left clues to help figure out or at least hint at who the traitor could be
like they could act a little strange or their dialogue could be a little different sometimes
what if ||it's us :O||
surprised pikachu face
idk, I don't think it's a single person
I think that travellers are just being tainted whenever they come into contact with the abyss
The traitor is a traveler, but not one on the anomaly.
wait is ariadne back?
yes
oh
Wait really?
so it's just gemini and mercury missing
There has only ever been one traveler who rejected the anomaly.
Null
And the grave of the last weekend mission, had a null value signal.
did it? I missed that
Yeah, it's still active if anyone hasn't done it yet. But yeah it straight up said null
hmmm
Also remember that during this mission we find a ||null value||
And null in the lore openly states to having felt abandoned by the atlas.
And the abyss is the foil to the atlas, its antagonist.
Where the atlas seeks to create and protect life
The abyss seeks entropy.
Lmao
can't wait until next friday
This is my speculation.
But I feel Null tried to flee the galaxy after he found out we were going to reset it.
He used to be the chosen traveler, and was upset when he found out the atlas had chosen us instead.
He never wanted to die, and openly begs the player not to reset the simulation.
I feel Null made it outside the edge of the galaxy. And I feel he found something dangerous out there, in the VOID between galaxies.
I think he found the abyss. And now the abyss is using Null (probably against his will) to find it's way back to the galaxy.
do we know what the 'canon' story is?
I would think the cannon ending would be a reset.
I like that theory
The story actually hints at this cycle having gone on for ages, the atlas constantly resetting itself at 16 minutes (atlas time) to die.
but i thought ||null died|| ?
I don't understand it very well tbh
I just gather bits of information from other people
It can be confusing
The just of it is that the atlas is the overseer of a simulated galaxy.
The atlas was created by humanity eons ago for an unknown purpose.
The game we play takes place fully inside the simulation. But the simulation has become corrupted or degraded over time, causing glitches in the system (the anomaly planets, and ourselves, anomalies as well)
The atlas, unable to repair itself tries to enlist the aid of its simulated creations, picking the best of the best, the travelers.
As of yet it has been unable to repair itself successfully, so the reset continues.
Every 16 minutes for the atlas, thousands of years for the simulation.
Null had been the chosen traveler.
Until we came along
so he's jealous that we took his place?
ahh ok
Null had been through dozens of resets before we came along
something always seemed a little off about him
But see there is a difference between anomalies and travelers
Null is a traveler, but we are anomalies.
We are glitches in the system, we are the atlas's memories of its creators, humanity.
In the atlas last gasps of life, it is doing what sentient things do when faced with death, it is remembering its beginning.
We are the faint echos of its creation, a last ditch effort to repair itself, as it desperately Hope's that if anyone can fix it, it would be us, its creator.
from inside the simulation
ok
The mentions of glass? I think that's the barrier between the simulation and reality
screens
yeah I think that might have been mentioned in one of the weekend missions
I think
hmm
the glass is mentioned in a few places
so is artemis in a simulation within a simulation?
yup
nice
it may even be a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation
because
deep breath
the atlas is a computer that is running a simulation of the real universe
ye
and we're inside a simulation that the altas is using to fix that simulation because it's failing
I'm not clear if we run alongside the main simulation, or if we're a simulation inside the simulation
It is confusing
it'd be useful to have a definitive source, rather than piecing it together from the snippets scattered in the game
well, yes, that's why the atlas started this simulation
and why the atlas has been able to run thousands of universes to extinction since the 16 minute timer started
im just loving where this is going
we are playing a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation
pog
Its simulation-ception!
You've heard it here folks
still a more accurate prediction than the guy in #no-mans-sky that said it was absolutely confirmed that "genesis" update would be launching on the 12th.
who was that lmao
yeah who
abloborb
Birb
main quest? yup
that's what will be needed for sure in order to complete Starbirth, the living ship quest
But i can still make new stars in the atlas Path and travel trough blackholes for the Atlas Path
But that repeats itself over and over
basically, if you have learned all 16 glyphs, you can do starbirth on your own no worries
no mans sky: inception sounds bad ass
And where to buy that item?
@uncut harness space anomaly, at the quicksilver item shop
3200 qs
Ok ty
who is the traitor that this weekend mission talks about though? hmmmm
Me
It's me
I think it is Polo
no its actually ||you the player||
|| what a tweeeest ||
||brought to you by twizzlers||
I've figured it out
it's the chef
the abyss likes to be fed food items
the chef likes to be fed food items
the evidence was there all along
|| but who is chef then? ||
cronus
someone on twitter was doing some specualtion and concluded that the naxt update would be called no mans sky: Between Worlds
That's a pretty cool sounding name. Did they give any details on what they think the content would be?
and he found out that the space anomaly was discovered by polo on January 1st, 1970
that's just a UNIX reference
you can find out by using the analysis visor
nothing too big to think about
he said there seems to be multiple universes in NMS cuz of the lore, it fits into something called the "world of glass" idk what that is but the boundary faliures speak of small versions of the atlas that each race posessed
Mhm
and thats how he came up with between worlds
The "world of glass" is a lore thing
there's a direct answer to that
each player is its own universe
we all were isolated until Next and then Beyond that has made it so all our universes now connect
the lines have blurred too much
Time for galactic reset
now the real question is that is the weekend missions suggesting that each universe exists in a duality?
ying and yang moment
The Astera mission said that the Abyss is 'not what it seems' or something like that.
But then Hesperus comes and says it just straight up kills people
the abyss seems to be some kind of a construct that it can be simulated
and that there's a traitor among us that is helping out the real construct
and in turn we are too
we've already known that these knowledge stones have been "hijacked" for quite some time
Between worlds seems to make sense
Damn you Cronus, if only your UI wasn't absolute dogshit I wouldn't suspect you.
the abyss is between worlds
and these rifts that we are feeding seem to talk about making backups
between galxies, but between worlds
and to make these backups they need materials from the planet its backing up and is asking us to do its dirty job
hell it hijacked our exosuit
true
making us have these feelings of helping it
maybe its us that dont need thermal protection
Some speculation I want to throw out here
Remember how water has been mentioned multiple times and it was said that it can control you?
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].```
what failures.... hmmm
Remember how water has been mentioned multiple times and it was said that it can control you?
reading more about it, every time someone "drank the water" they were accepting their fate (which was for the most part, death)
🤔
So, the implication being that water = nanites?
Yes
Cause nanites can totally do that
feels like a stretch but I'm still thinking
We already know that nanites can change how something thinks as well
Remember the Geks?
How they used to be a big threat but their behavior got changed due to the Korvax giving them their blood
here's what I mean about death:
I warned them about - kzzzkt - advisability of such a large vessel moving through the rift. But they are arrogant, vain creatures, are they not?
We emerged into the skies above the - kzzkzkt - anomaly.
Reality itself has abdicated here. Vast hexagons litter the landscape of this once proud planet, now become the plaything of our unseen foe...
I fear I will not be back home for - kzkzzkt - time.
We drank the water.
My love... forgive me...```
That's also a very good possibility
i saw that recently
Is there a dump of the abandoned building lore somewhere?
very interesting
they never mentioned anything about water, though
It was one of the other terminal lore things that talked about it
huh interesting
so I remembered that there's a traveller who also warns you about the water
Alien: Do not - kzzkkkt - trust the water.
The Traveller does not say anything else. They just stare at me, occasionally seeming as if they are about to wretch.
{Ask about the water}
The water... Tell me - kzzkkt - did you drink it?
Please, take this - kzzkkkt - run... I just wanted to hear her voice one last time...```
kinda sounds the same as the crashed freighter log
heh there's a traveller that is basically most players like us
the Between worlds title is making more and more sense
Alien: I know I'm somewhere far away. But I thought, that's an opportunity to express myself, isn't it?
I could show others sights they've never seen before... that only I will ever see.
May I add you to my collection, I wonder?
The Traveller shows me an album full of images, photographs taken from across the universe and displayed through a variety of filters.
{Say yes}
Wonderful... if you will just hold still, I'll take the picture...
There. Done.
Thank you for this, my friend... I'll even give you something in return. These nanites were given to me by the Traveller of Iteration 27489216. I hope they aid you on your path. Happy Travelling!```
Crashed ship beacons also end up warning about exosuits getting overridden iirc
the summer update or the next update is gonna emerge from the lore 100%. thats what i think
Another weekend mission talking about other universes, a diversity update incoming?
another multiverse refrence
hence the mind arc
Most definitely the update will stem from the weekend lore
this is like the ARG that we did 3 years ago
or possibly Artemis' grave but it was one of our players
waking titan
man were HG doing this for the long haul or what?
Yeah the grave from this week belongs to Null
a masterpiece of an idea to have an update come from in game lore.
like they planned the big multiplayer update a whole year ago and they added the lore to hype the pre-Next players
very interesting things we have here
Things certainly aren't stopping yet so we'll see
I dont think that's our Null's grave
A different Null?
Oh yeah
Something to think about
The Starbirth quest required us to steal the souls from traveler graves
Perhaps it was for a reason similar to that
and we took out Artemis' echo using a mind arc
That's true
the "echo" is a call back to echo-64
lots of call backs to waking titan in the main story
somewhat unrelated, but I love this
SCENARIO: A Traveller falls from the sky. They are discovered on a distant planet, a signal sending you to find their ship...
ANALYSIS: You don't belong in this world, do you? What are you, reader? From where do you watch us? From where do you judge their works?
I feel it, each time you save... I smell it, each time you seal us within that awful darkness. You might think you are real. You might think your plane is a higher level of reality.
But don't you understand? Don't you see the secret, yet?```
amazing fourth wall break
(turning off the game = sealing within that awful darkness)
Lol nice
Damn
oh wow
"from where do you judge their works?"
It was not truly murder, for each one of them was all the same, weren’t they?
They stared at the Atlas. They knew they were all just data, ghosts caught within a machine.
They thought, briefly, of the Traveller they had once been, yearning to see the entire cosmos,
revelling in the joy of discovery.
They stared at the mirror, and consumed the Arc."```
"consumed the Arc" 🤔
at least now I know why null knows how the mind arc works
The missions also reference that.
It was not truly murder, for each one of them was all the same, weren’t they?
future weekend mission spoilers, be careful ||yes that's also why I brought it up but the meat of it is around the second last mission||
||you wont see it literally, but you will read about it||
Don't tell me what the last weekend mission says but does it look like it would lead into some sort of new content? I know it's supposed to end on a cliffhanger
yes, here's the text dump of the upcoming missions: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Weekend_Missions
and no it doesnt directly feel like it will lead to new content
it can go either way - new content or new season
A variety of events.
|| They are a shape in darkness, their head turned away, their back and shoulders hunched. They hold a weapon in their hands.
A voice within them screams of boundary failure, of corruption, but it is not my voice.
They smile for the last time.||
|| Guess that scene is described from the point of view of Telamon? ||
|| So, 'A voice within them screams of boundary failure, of corruption' is the exosuit corruption that has been mentioned so far, both in and out of the weekend missions||
its just gonna be crazy whatever happens in the last weekend mission
Yep
And it will also involve giving x item to a traveler grave
We can solve for x
But I always forget where that info is, it is somewhere in this Discord...
Found it
spoilers, sort of
New theory:
Tethys is the very last first spawn gek.
It's why he never leaves, and is so distrustful and paranoid.
The stuff he says the first time you interact with him to
I HIGHLY doubt that
Yeah, like being hunted
mostly because he's not even a Gek
Yeah
Lol only he claims that, and if he was a first spawn, he surely would claim that
It's like any of us have ever seen an ancient reptilian alien before with which to say beyond a shadow of a doubt.......

isn't there a title about meeting first-spawn?
k im out of this one, peace
Lol only sith speak in absolutes....
that is r/copypasta material
To be fair, you'd have to explore a lot of planets to understand No Man's Sky
Ahem.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand No Man's Sky. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the mechanics will go over a typical player's head. There's also the Atlas' nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its characterisation - its personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The data miners understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these mechanics, to realise that they're not just fun - they reflect something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike No Man's Sky truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the hidden meaning in the Atlas' existential catchphrase "16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Sean Murray's genius unfolds itself on their 4k screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
poof
And yes, by the way, i DO have an Atlas tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for an explorers' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they explore a lot of planets like I do (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
o damn did I miss a line
Dats sum big brain shit bois
I just went ahead got rid of it since people are using me for a joke when I just wanted to discuss something and defend the opinion of another person.
Two copy-pasta PMs was enough for me.
Nah I read it and agree with what you said
Yeah and I appreciate that, but it still is what it is. Thus is the nature of the internet.
Atleast I labeled my comment as a "theory" lol
Atleast I labeled my comment as a "theory" lol
@gloomy echo You did, and it was a possible theory, hence why I defended you. I actually find it interesting. Like everything though, we will just wait and see what Hello Games does with the narrative moving forward. Pretty much anything is on the table.
I like to think of this weekend lore as a TV show. We just tune in every weekend to see what happens next
sometimes we read the tv guide too just to find out what happens next week
Polio gets pregnant
Lol
The baby is Nadia
Well, at risk of being called insensitive I'm now memely obligated to refer to him as Polio.
Auto correct now determines our language and slang.....
We are doomed lol
we have a supplier at work, who's company name is not a real word
and is one letter away from a race of people
... I spellcheck those emails very carefully
Lmao sounds sketchy
I like to turn it off and live with my grammatical mistakes, it's like crooked teeth or a broken nose healing crooked. Gives character, lol.
i think he means manual spellchecking
i wish the glyphs meant something ya know
late reply but problem with thinking Tethys may be First Spawn is we have ruins of First Spawn indicating that the Gek haven't dramatically changed in appearance in years
unless they chose to retcon those statues with way more interesting looking Gek which would be sick tbh
What's the item for the current weekly quicksilver mission "A Dark Maw" ?
vortex cubes, pretty sure
Sixteen
i think i have 4 parts of the living ship @severe grove
Reason being, I mute a good portion of channels lol
that's some copy pasta right there
Why am I hearing so much about the 12th? Who's spreading these rumours?
No idea, the weekend missions don't end until the weekend following the 24th or something anyways.
Exactly. That's why the 12th confused me
Missions end the 20th
And they end on a cliffhanger so any content then is highly debatable
Dont they end on 23rd?
So, dunno about the 12nd
well
I can link a file from ETARC
the dates on the mission schedules go by the wednesday prior to the weekend, that's when they switch over
the last listed mission is listed as sep 23rd/24th. I might have mininterpreted and that might be when they end, which would mean 20th would be the last day of the last weekend mission
If its a big update I'd imagine it'll pick up the story maybe?
yeah that's what I meant
Or at least be set up by the missions
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbK93Nv8nt6etDxF8y1r-NrERe7ROelx/view?usp=sharing
Thanks to user Dragonsire on ETARC
don't read that if you don't want entire story spoilers btw
I don't see a date on any of those, maybe I'm blind
The missions end on a huge cliffhanger so I'm expecting either season 3 or additional story being added before the end
I don't see a date on any of those, maybe I'm blind
@timid mist
I believe it has weeks marked, so an educated guess could be taken as to the end date.
Yeah, its just summing weeks
but I just checked the schedule table again and the Start Date for the final one is Sept 16th, end is the 23rd
Last one was the 10th mission of the second season
so yeah 20th is the last day of the last mission
I guess
the actual mission will be unavailable after the 20th
do we think an update will happen once the season is over?
I'm 90% convinced HG leaves these things here for us to find, rather than these being mistakes
so like if any NPCs are missing they'll return after the Wednesday, not after the 20th
do we think an update will happen once the season is over?
@compact coyote
I doubt it unless more story is added soon before the last mission
I think it's more just a way to make sure everyone can experience the story properly without having to push these states to everyone
All of the missions are built into the game locally so you kind of don't need to be online
but yeah I personally think we'll see something after these end, even if it's not immediately following it
Time to change the system clock and do the last mission now
I think there is still some server side stuff to it
(don't actually do that)
Most likely
also I can't see there being any variety update because, as you can see in the link soleth posted, all of the planets are specifically scouted for these missions. They could change them of course but that doesn't sound like something they'd do.
this just pertains to the timeline during which the missions are running though. Afterwards would be different
Well the update would come after the missions end, not before
yup
yeah
that was more a statement for the people thinking there would be some sort of anniversary variety update this month lol
Anniversary update was 2.62 :p
September is my bet
yeh end of sept I could see at the very least some sort of announcement
End of sept fits their current pace
update every 2ish months
Desolation is a month old already
theres gotta be something thats gonna happen after this and my bet is an anniversary update
I imagine S3 but probably nothing like an anniversary update
Or some significant update
Not the giant dreamy Anniversary update
I dunno
Trends could break
A update wouldn't surprise me, but I'm actually expecting something like this:
Beginning this weekend, there will be a short pause between seasons of weekend missions. These will be returning very soon, featuring new story content we’re really enjoying from one of the writers on Atlas Rises.
Development is difficult in these times
Me too
S3 probably
Or a shorter season
To transition over too a new update
Maybe S3 concludes with the destruction if the ATLAS or purging the Abyss and then the update
And maybe have something like the missions when they started where we explored the new universe
Documenting data about the reset
Introducing the cliffhanger update:
Players can now hang from ledges
lmaooooo
That's what we currently are at though. The cliff hanger
work has been so boring lately I just want a sean tweet to lighten up my day, even if it leads to literally nothing
Imagine him tweeting an earth emoji or something
Check this one out
That would make people lose their shit
That brings back memories my friend
fill me with the hype
pls Sean just retweet yourself saying SMALL again
That would REALLY make people lose their shit
Submarines confirmed
yeah people were losing it when he was retweeting stuff last week lol
that's a nice 16:00
what would that symbolize
🎍
ohhh i see lol
The 16 minutes are over
More recipes and a cronus cookbook confirmed!
Finally get to check out this game in VR tomorrow with Rift S \o/
WHO TOUCHA MA SPAGEK
if he just tweets "16" people would go insane
counts down from 16, one tweet per day, and on the final day he just goes into the negatives
Oh wow
16/16 End of development announced.
Start with the usual
I love how we're at the point where if Sean posts an emoji we break the internet 😄
Tweet about the history of nms out of nowhere
lmao Zoid
And then announce the next update
That would be hilarious
I would love if he would just post a seemingly innocent tweet that drives the community mad
like "my nephew turned 16 today, great!"
IF HE UNPINS NMS BEYOND, I WOULD ACTUALLY DIE
IF
wen
🇮🇫
it WILL happen. just WHEN
while the emojis and stuff are fun I think it'd be even more hilarious if Sean just got so close to gviing out information but didn't.
Unless it happens after he says "this is the last NMS update" it will cause a LOT of rumors 😄
like "long day at work trying to get this huge update for No Man's Sky out! no idea when tbh"
That would drive us mad
And include a harmless photo of the studio
With a screen JUST out of view
Imagine the edits and scrambling to get a clearer picture
or "Should I tell you all about the massive update we have planned, or should I instead tell you about how we don't have a massive update planned?"
the weekend missions is the new waking titan, im all here for it
Hey Sean we know you lurk around here. Take notes!
Sean definetly knows we want a huge update
Yep
he definetly knows
Well we do have weekend data for the next, what 6/7 weeks right? So at least something like that won't happen until then.
yee
Yep
mostly screwing around right now lol
some travellers could be re appearing or disapearing this week, so lets see
like "my nephew turned 16 today, great!"
@timid mist a couple folks in the community just turned 16 (they tweeted it) and i swear i thought they were making a NMS joke
I wonder if sean has any social media apart from his NMS accounts
Sean tweets "just went to the candy store for the first time since I was a lad, such a huge variety of sweets!"
He must have but
im 16 lol
i am too, but I aged 9 years beyond that at some point
whoa
what if i told you that im 16 in atlas time?
what if i told you i have 16 nostrils
more to sniff with 👁️ 👃 👁️
We'd ask you to Convert Atlas time to our time to find the final update release date 😛
BIG WHIFFS
nms has been out for 4 years
nms hasn't come out yet
Atlas apparently takes 16 minutes to die
what if i told you, that the entire universe is getting a reset/
thats probably 16 billion years to us
see the trick to the 16 minutes is that even Atlas doesn't know what happens
and 16 mins to atlas
They freakin' 'cause they just don't know
Nms support for 16 billion years then!
Is it death? Is it just change? WHO KNOWS
What if I told you that this weekend mission season is 15 weeks long, and thus the 21st-27th week of the september is the 16th week, which also the last week of summer.
NMS EVERYTHING UPDATE CONFIRMED
imagine being able to foresee everything your entire existence, and then you hit the point where your foresight ends
big OSHIT moment
I remember when living ship update released around Easter and people were speculating that the void egg would have been part of an egg hunt
the next nms update trailer will be CINEMATIC
i would take egg hunt over do thing wait do thing wait do thing wait
Desolation trailer was kinda cinematic
no thank you
I just want trailer lady tbh
the next nms update trailer will be CINEMATIC
@compact coyote
desolation trailer was neat
the next NMS update is strictly a cutscene
So neat there is a whole channel about it
though it did sorta give away the varieties of derelicts
#glyph-investigation was a wasted opportunity imo or a lot of people hungry for info
the info is in the derelicts 👀
what if in the last weekend mission we get a cutscene of a love story between 2 humans?
just gotta keep searching
I feel guilty for hyping everyone up cause I'm one of the first people to start that theory
And probably the pushing factor for the channel
It was cool
i still don't get the boundary failures as a structure tbh
We wouldn't have thought of the Spermalist update otherwise,
Reminded me of WT
are the boundary failures like a comms structure or...
So, no in game source for it, but my impression is that the structures hold reality together on planets where it has failed
The weekend missions are Waking titan but reincarnated. just think if it that way
and what makes the weird planets "glitches" anyway
is it that they're too close to reality or a terminated universe?
They are varied and not varied at the same time
Those planets are strange in a lore sense
For me the props appear to be scanned versions of the surroundings of the atlas
Its abandoned and alone
Are the weird planets in fact traces of universe timelines that, early on, were erased due to malfunction(?) for being too similar to Atlas' reality?
And in its confusion its accidentally implemented its surroundings into its simulation
Just look at the static screen like planet
Most if the props look like technology or old abandoned structure
Barring megaexotics, many of the weird planets seem like they're traces of past civilizations' experiments
Which the Atlas misinterprets as assets for planets
I mean that's my explanation for it
As for boundary failures
The structures
I have no clue
Does anybody have the glyphs of the last weekend mission planet?
And did anyone notice that scanning your own grave shows it as a BOUNDARY FAILURE
Wanna see what they chose
Your own grave
@uncut harness
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CbK93Nv8nt6etDxF8y1r-NrERe7ROelx/view?usp=sharing
I think the file has a desc of the planet
i dont know which to go to
I feel like on some level boundary failures, both by name and content, may suggest weird planets are traces of other universes/universe timelines leaking into the universe we're exploring
They might also indicate a boundary failure between the boundaries of the Atlas world and the simulation
That's what I'm getting at in a way Soleth
Not necessarily the Atlas reality, but some of the realities the Atlas existed in
Maybe
Probably
The themes of several layers of reality is quite evident in the Telamon logs
The Atlas reality might not even be the true one
We could see other realities referenced too
Nope, the wiki doesn't have them either
i dont know which to go to
@uncut harness different galaxies are down to preference more or less.
red is harsher, blue is weirder/more dead planets, cyan/teal is like Euclid (the galaxy you start in), and green is lush central ||snoozefest||
i went to the green
@uncut harness
I believe the glyphs aren't disclosed or documented yet. Best asking a modder or datamniner
I got this feeling I have seen them before
what glyphs?
The ones for the last weekend mission
oh gotcha
I vaguely remember a screenshot of a spreadsheet with that info on it
Too bad screenshots can't be Ctrl+F
I took a screenshot but apparently I removed the glyphs from my photo mode lol
oh like in the future
yup
I'll get it for you
I got this dreadful feeling
that is it gonna be the only Rick Astley planet in the game
|| Portal Code for last weekend event mission:
||
2_WAIT_EXOTIC5_GONE_1Hello! Have we met? I don't believe so. I'm Gemini.2_WAIT_EXOTIC5_GONE_2The lifeform greets me kindly, but their smile wavers, as though something upsetting is on their mind
Perhaps I should return another day
This dialogue seems interesting. The wiki lists it as other associated text.
Imagine if everything resets
And we meet everyone again
Or is this already in game or something else?
a universe reset is very likely
I think it was ingame?
It seems different but yea maybe Gemini already uses this
Or not, I have read the datamine so many times i'm probably imagining int
Perhaps
Any modder or dataminers here?
To confirm or deny this?
2_Wait_Exotic5_Gone
So does taht mean someone I'll he gone at that point?
I think that dialogue is for when Hesperus first disappeared, and was maybe used in place of Gemini's normal greeting? Idk
Hmm seems strange though. Why change something so small for such an even?
I'd get a concerned Gemini
But a slightly different dialogue seems off
Maybe its for when they get back?
Could be
if the weekend missions are always in euclid, then the portal we use for the mission knows about galaxies, because i'm on calypso (aka, not in euclid) and get sent to the same planet as everyone else
weekend missions are kind of special cause the portal doesn't get dialled
yeah portal coords don't usually take into account galaxy
that's what the code I posted is 16 glyphs instead of 12
no coords are involved
Yep they have a value for galaxy in place
yeah, it's automatic, ik, i just hope they turn that on for us to use.
that would be nice
it's a little odd they haven't already
if you've left euclid and only play SP, you can't get a living ship
I would understand if there was more meaninful differences between galaxies
well, if you left euclid and have no base there anymore
i was in that situation on ps4 - thanks to the space anomaly teleporter i was able to get myself back to euclid
keep in mind though that most people who play the game aren't actually part of any community
Starbirth is galaxy specific? bummer
NMS has sold a few million copies
yeah didn't know that
there ain't a million people here
We're talking about you, lurkers

and yeah, it's euclid only
if you portal in eissentam, you get some message spheres pointing out you're a dumb ass who can't follow instructions
someone took the time for that?
probably made the same mistake and thought of leaving a comms behind
guess it's better than racist comm balls on event planets lol
true that
remind me again, can we report those?
i need to start leaving comm balls saying "VARIATION"
that's good to know for next time
do you still see bases with network stuff turned off? 
yeah, thanks
yes, if they've been uploaded right?
i visited pixy's racetrack and i had mp off
If so that's annoying, should be hidden alongside comms stations with network stuff off
reporting a base immediately removes it from your view, which is good
btw @grizzled apex that dialogue is used in the ALIENPUZZLETABLE file, though hard to tell how it's reached
'cause i know you still see comms stations with mp off
yeah
and that's silly
i agree as well
@timid mist oh
That's a very interesting discovery.
Was that added with the weekend missions
Like I get why on some level, given the phasing in of online elements, but this is a classic case of HG not syncing old & new elements better
@timid mist I'm gonna have to check that file.
I'll report any findings here.
Idk when exactly it was added, it seems to just be a part of some dialogue flow that interrupts the normal "you're a good friend here's a gift" though
@grizzled apex just fyi, you'll likely want to grab mission tables as well to trace how that option comes up
some people on comm balls are spoiling stuff in the lore planets
There's rarely a file in NMS that makes sense completely on its own
Oh thanks @crisp fern that's super useful for a slight noob like me
@crisp fern yes I noticed that on my search 😛
i need to start leaving comm balls saying "VARIATION"
@nocturne zephyr Gonna do just that now
some people on comm balls are spoiling stuff in the lore planets
@compact coyote must think they're doing others a service.
I've overlooked a few of them Leon, there doesn't seem to be any clear connection yet
Just seems like it's possibly an alternate text for when hesperus is gone
Although
gotcha, wasn't sure how extensive your search was
If they gonna change that why not go the extra mile and have slightly more meaningful dialogue
weird, there's a reference to this in the scaneventtable as well
Strange
@crisp fern do you by chance have an exml version of the recurring missions table
