#

yea it seems like its saying cool new stuff

#

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

mental socket
#

I've personally had some weird occurances as well

#

sometimes refineries take in a max stack of 20 jelly and sometimes only 10

open canyon
#

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)

valid holly
#

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.

open canyon
#

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

valid holly
#

I didn't notice it until I read the description in the wiki

open canyon
#

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

uncut harness
#

Uh, I knew about the text, but didn't notice the arrow.

open canyon
#

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

gloomy isle
#

Anyone know when the weekly missions end?

cloud epoch
#

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

open canyon
#

nice work, yea it looks like some of the visual tweaking they did made it look a bit diff

vocal shoal
#

Ah ok. Thought i was wrong when i saw the wiki.
Good eye

mighty rampart
#

damn it would have made sense if the colour did change

idle jay
#

This weeks lore was very interesting I've gotta say

crisp fern
#

the whole 6 lines of it 😛

idle jay
#

Aww sush

#

I enjoyed it regardless

mighty rampart
#

are we traveller or are we dancer

#

my life support is vital, my hands are cold

rough depot
#

what was this weeks lore?

idle jay
#

@rough depot You’re fine with finding it out without doing the mission?

rough depot
#

yes

idle jay
#

Alright

rough depot
#

missions kinda boring ngl 😔

idle jay
#

Fair

mighty rampart
#

||Null's grave, huh||

#

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

gloomy isle
#

Ooh

#

Seems like generation changes would be a logical result of this, story wise

#

And the missions end in September (?)

uncut harness
#

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.

gloomy isle
#

Interesting

#

Where did you hear that?

uncut harness
#

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.

gloomy isle
#

Ah ok

#

I'll have a look

#

Imo the most likely month for a sizable update is September

dusk sorrel
#

@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.

eternal remnant
#

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

uncut harness
#

Oh cool PT, didn't know the app had that

eternal remnant
#

what does star seed do

uncut harness
#

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.

balmy nimbus
#

@gloomy isle the gen already started to change

gloomy isle
#

@balmy nimbus in what way though?

static urchin
#

So what's going on with hesperus

balmy nimbus
#

Textures since crossplay

eternal remnant
#

where is the ending

uncut harness
#

That one might be a bug

solid cliff
#

@static urchin nice pseudo

static urchin
#

Wat

balmy nimbus
#

evolving bug then, going for better

uncut harness
#

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.

balmy nimbus
#

yes, it changed twice

mighty rampart
#

yeah, currently it works better now

balmy nimbus
#

once when crossplay came, then 2.62 ( did not notice 2.61 change)

mighty rampart
#

some having grass some having mountain textures

balmy nimbus
#

more subtle transition from a texture to another

mighty rampart
#

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

balmy nimbus
#

it's not fixed yet

mighty rampart
#

no this is intentional

#

but before there were almost no mountain textures

#

they fixed that now

balmy nimbus
#

I bet this is not the last state

uncut harness
#

I just assumed it was a unintended side effect of the 'various small optimizations' they do every update

mighty rampart
#

ah I can believe that

#

in fact they should keep messing with it as part of weekend mission's story

balmy nimbus
#

I'm sure they will

#

Since Living ships, we see more and more stuff coming from Abyss world

eternal remnant
#

so did i "beat" the game or where is the ending to the atlas path

balmy nimbus
#

where could this Living whales ships come from ?

eternal remnant
#

where game end me confusion

fervent eagle
#

Has there always been a lens flare in the loading screen when you first start the game?

gloomy isle
#

@fervent eagle they changed the lens flare recently (desolation update)

fervent eagle
#

ahh

#

also, the guy next to hesperus isn't there anymore

static urchin
#

The game doesn't really end

#

Even after you complete every storyline, it doesn't exactly end

fervent eagle
#

||or if you go to every galaxy||

#

anyone else have problems with activating knowledge stones? Usually when I reload, it fixes the problem...

uncut harness
#

Nope, no problems here

fervent eagle
#

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

eternal remnant
#

me asking nada and polo for atlas station coords for the first time

fervent eagle
#

lol

#

GO YOU AWAY

eternal remnant
#

WHY DOES THIS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE

compact coyote
#

is it just me or am i seeing a little more variety? yesterday i saw an amazing mountain range. it was absolutely huge

uncut harness
#

Just you

mighty rampart
#

already existed

#

just the terrain textures have changed around a bit so that even mountains and cliff sides can have grass

crisp fern
#

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

gloomy isle
#

Anyone think it might be time for another small content update soon?

mighty rampart
#

maybe

wanton path
#

no

crisp fern
#

fixes

gloomy isle
#

Actually looking at it, it's roughly a month between each

crisp fern
#

fixes over content

gloomy isle
#

Apart from between living ship and exo mech

crisp fern
#

living ship mission chain is still broken ffs

gloomy isle
#

No it's not? At least for me it works fine

crisp fern
#

lingering parts

gloomy isle
#

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

compact coyote
#

how about both content and fixes?

#

best of both worlds

gloomy isle
#

Tbf they're fast with most fixes

crisp fern
#

for the most recent stuff

mighty rampart
#

yeah, 2.62 was by far the slowest for some reason

#

otherwise they patch pretty quick

vocal shoal
#

probably working on other updates

uncut harness
#

Old bugs just kinda accumulate over time

vocal shoal
#

^

wanton path
#

or just maybe HG is in negotiations with Chris Roberts

mighty rampart
#

tfw still no fixed water horizon because of the fog changes

uncut harness
#

Yeah, or the double water surface thing

#

Base building has lots of bizarre clipping or placement issues.

mental socket
#

or water surface moving along camera

#

been there since next

uncut harness
#

Tons of issues that are years old

compact coyote
#

big update coming september. calling it

crisp fern
#

which is why you'd be better off focusing an update on fixing them imo

uncut harness
#

One extra patch per content update would be great.

crisp fern
#

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

uncut harness
#

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.

gloomy echo
#

I have a gtx2080, all settings to max, still have pop in.... lol

compact coyote
#

i love how the weekend mission planet had a complete black night sky. it was beautiful

uncut harness
#

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.

nocturne zephyr
#

Gosh I hope it's something they've been working on for longer than 2 months

compact coyote
#

the lore in these weekend missions seem to lead to something big soon

#

fingers crossed

uncut harness
#

Summer ends the 22th of September

#

Imagine the update happens that day

nocturne zephyr
#

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

compact coyote
#

what do you think this update will be ?

nocturne zephyr
#

I don't think I want to speculate right now lol

#

It could very well end up being something very unexpected

uncut harness
#

WH 40k crossover

nocturne zephyr
#

😩 😩 😩

uncut harness
#

Unexpected

nocturne zephyr
#

Yess

compact coyote
#

these weekend missions are the new waking titan basically

nocturne zephyr
#

The new Lore keeps me jumping back in each weekend for a little bit, but waking Titan had much more variation than these do

uncut harness
#

I think it's building up to something

#

The boundary thingies got new lore too not too long ago

nocturne zephyr
#

That lore is cool

#

The new ones

uncut harness
#

Was other new stuff added?

#

I remember people checked the Traveller interactions, but nothing new was found.

nocturne zephyr
#

Not sure, but I think I saw what you're referring to

uncut harness
#

I've havent heard anything about the freighter and ship beacons

idle jay
#

There was some traveler stuff that I thought was slightly sus but is probably old stuff

nocturne zephyr
#

Probably

idle jay
crisp fern
#

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

uncut harness
#

Ah yes, that's the multi-sword interaction I think?

#

Ye, old

idle jay
#

Ye

uncut harness
#

Verily

idle jay
#

Speaking of which the Multi-Sword would be cool to have

crisp fern
#

lol

#

"we heard you were tired of blasting rocks so now you get to whack them"

uncut harness
#

I think whacking stuff is very effective in VR

#

Multisword sweeping attacks could be useful when harvesting di-hydrogen

compact coyote
#

i saw that too

#

a multi sword would be awesome

nocturne zephyr
#

Maybe the multisword is only wielded by the exomech

idle jay
#

Big buster energy sword for the mech pls thx

nocturne zephyr
#

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

I'd like a jetpack upgrade that lets you fly like a plane/ iron man

It'd be better than glitch jumping and break immersion less

uncut harness

I'm still disappointed it turned out to be stock video lifted from youtube

the journey was fun even though the destination sucked

It was about the friends we made along the way after all

@uncut harness possibly the least interesting use of a sword in a game since cutting grass in Legend of Zelda? lol

nocturne zephyr
#

You mean most interesting

crisp fern
#

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

uncut harness
#

Megaman Legends had the boosting thing

nocturne zephyr
#

Yeah rocket boots need to be touched up

uncut harness
#

It was pretty enjoyable tbh

crisp fern
#

Mega Man Legends is great

#

I don't remember if I ever got that upgrade tho thonk

uncut harness
#

Really?

#

It was great

crisp fern
#

To be fair it's been probably over a decade since i played it all the way through

uncut harness
#

turning radious was meh, but still not exomech bad

crisp fern
#

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

uncut harness
#

I think 1 had a laser too

crisp fern
#

Also I think I do remember what you're describing, like you literally slid over the ground gaining momentum?

uncut harness
#

Yes

crisp fern
#

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

uncut harness
#

I liked to use it to go as fast as posible without colliding into anything, that alone made it satisfying

#

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

compact coyote
#

oh yeah the whole glyph investigation was really fun! sad it lead to nowhere though

uncut harness
#

I'd love that

crisp fern
#

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

@solid cliff did they actually change or did people jsut say that and not really check

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?

sand karma
#

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

timid mist
#

@solid cliff I was asking about hesperus' eyes

solid cliff
#

People seem to agree on this

mighty rampart
#

someone posted proof it didnt change

#

and that its a lighting issue

solid cliff
#

ah

pseudo valve
#

Well I'm glad that he's not all corrupted or anything

static urchin
#

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

severe sun
#

what if ||it's us :O||

static urchin
#

surprised pikachu face

severe sun
#

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

gloomy echo
#

The traitor is a traveler, but not one on the anomaly.

static urchin
#

wait is ariadne back?

severe sun
#

yes

static urchin
#

oh

uncut harness
#

Wait really?

static urchin
#

so it's just gemini and mercury missing

gloomy echo
#

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.

severe sun
#

did it? I missed that

gloomy echo
#

Yeah, it's still active if anyone hasn't done it yet. But yeah it straight up said null

severe sun
#

hmmm

static urchin
#

Also remember that during this mission we find a ||null value||

gloomy echo
#

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.

static urchin
#

n tropy

#

that guy from crash bandicoot

#

jk

gloomy echo
#

Lmao

static urchin
#

can't wait until next friday

gloomy echo
#

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.

severe sun
#

do we know what the 'canon' story is?

gloomy echo
#

I would think the cannon ending would be a reset.

static urchin
#

I like that theory

gloomy echo
#

The story actually hints at this cycle having gone on for ages, the atlas constantly resetting itself at 16 minutes (atlas time) to die.

static urchin
#

but i thought ||null died|| ?

severe sun
#

artemis may or may not have

#

null should still be kicking around

static urchin
#

I don't understand it very well tbh

#

I just gather bits of information from other people

gloomy echo
#

It can be confusing

static urchin
#

yep

#

Writing an essay

gloomy echo
#

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.

static urchin
#

Ohh I understand now

#

thanks for clearing it up

gloomy echo
#

Null had been the chosen traveler.

Until we came along

static urchin
#

so he's jealous that we took his place?

gloomy echo
#

Null resents us for taking his spot

#

Yes

static urchin
#

ahh ok

gloomy echo
#

Null had been through dozens of resets before we came along

static urchin
#

something always seemed a little off about him

gloomy echo
#

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.

static urchin
#

Oh

#

So the atlas is relying on us to fix the simulation as a last resort

severe sun
#

from inside the simulation

static urchin
#

ok

severe sun
#

The mentions of glass? I think that's the barrier between the simulation and reality

#

screens

static urchin
#

yeah I think that might have been mentioned in one of the weekend missions

#

I think

#

hmm

severe sun
#

the glass is mentioned in a few places

static urchin
#

so is artemis in a simulation within a simulation?

severe sun
#

yup

static urchin
#

nice

severe sun
#

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

static urchin
#

ye

severe sun
#

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

static urchin
#

yeah

#

the lore is really confusing

#

Thanks for explaining this stuff though

severe sun
#

It is confusing

#

it'd be useful to have a definitive source, rather than piecing it together from the snippets scattered in the game

compact coyote
#

16 minutes to the Atlas is probably 16 billion years to us

#

just think about it

severe sun
#

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

compact coyote
#

im just loving where this is going

#

we are playing a simulation inside a simulation inside a simulation

static urchin
#

pog

gloomy echo
#

Its simulation-ception!

compact coyote
#

lol i know right

#

no mans sky inception is the next update

vocal shoal
#

You've heard it here folks

severe sun
#

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.

mighty rampart
#

who was that lmao

yeah who

#

i don't recall their tag

#

they've not shown up since

So the 2 missions are

#

The Artemis path

#

And the Atlas Path right?

severe sun
#

main quest? yup

uncut harness
#

I finished artmeis

#

Artemis

#

For sure

prime inlet
#

that's what will be needed for sure in order to complete Starbirth, the living ship quest

uncut harness
#

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

prime inlet
#

basically, if you have learned all 16 glyphs, you can do starbirth on your own no worries

I've figured it out

it's the chef

the abyss likes to be fed food items

#

someone on twitter was doing some specualtion and concluded that the naxt update would be called no mans sky: Between Worlds

idle jay
#

That's a pretty cool sounding name. Did they give any details on what they think the content would be?

compact coyote
#

and he found out that the space anomaly was discovered by polo on January 1st, 1970

mighty rampart
#

that's just a UNIX reference

compact coyote
#

you can find out by using the analysis visor

mighty rampart
#

nothing too big to think about

compact coyote
#

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

idle jay
#

Mhm

compact coyote
#

and thats how he came up with between worlds

idle jay
#

The "world of glass" is a lore thing

mighty rampart
#

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

uncut harness
#

Time for galactic reset

mighty rampart
#

now the real question is that is the weekend missions suggesting that each universe exists in a duality?

#

ying and yang moment

uncut harness
#

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

mighty rampart
#

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

compact coyote
#

Between worlds seems to make sense

uncut harness
#

Damn you Cronus, if only your UI wasn't absolute dogshit I wouldn't suspect you.

compact coyote
#

the abyss is between worlds

mighty rampart
#

and these rifts that we are feeding seem to talk about making backups

compact coyote
#

between galxies, but between worlds

mighty rampart
#

and to make these backups they need materials from the planet its backing up and is asking us to do its dirty job

idle jay
mighty rampart
#

hell it hijacked our exosuit

compact coyote
#

true

mighty rampart
#

making us have these feelings of helping it

compact coyote
#

maybe its us that dont need thermal protection

idle jay
#

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?

mighty rampart
#
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].```
compact coyote
#

what failures.... hmmm

idle jay
#

What if it's not actually water but blood

mighty rampart
#

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)

#

🤔

uncut harness
#

So, the implication being that water = nanites?

idle jay
#

Yes

uncut harness
#

Cause nanites can totally do that

mighty rampart
#

feels like a stretch but I'm still thinking

idle jay
#

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

mighty rampart
#

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...```
idle jay
#

That's also a very good possibility

compact coyote
#

i saw that recently

uncut harness
#

Is there a dump of the abandoned building lore somewhere?

compact coyote
#

very interesting

idle jay
mighty rampart
#

they never mentioned anything about water, though

idle jay
#

It was one of the other terminal lore things that talked about it

mighty rampart
#

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

compact coyote
#

the Between worlds title is making more and more sense

mighty rampart
#
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

compact coyote
#

the summer update or the next update is gonna emerge from the lore 100%. thats what i think

uncut harness
mighty rampart
#

yeah it better or else that would be really weird

#

Zen that's just Null's grave

compact coyote
#

another multiverse refrence

mighty rampart
#

hence the mind arc

idle jay
#

Most definitely the update will stem from the weekend lore

compact coyote
#

this is like the ARG that we did 3 years ago

mighty rampart
#

or possibly Artemis' grave but it was one of our players

compact coyote
#

waking titan

mighty rampart
#

man were HG doing this for the long haul or what?

idle jay
compact coyote
#

a masterpiece of an idea to have an update come from in game lore.

mighty rampart
#

like they planned the big multiplayer update a whole year ago and they added the lore to hype the pre-Next players

compact coyote
#

very interesting things we have here

idle jay
#

Things certainly aren't stopping yet so we'll see

mighty rampart
#

I dont think that's our Null's grave

idle jay
#

A different Null?

mighty rampart
#

no, the null value here is literal

#

the grave was robbed

idle jay
#

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

mighty rampart
#

and we took out Artemis' echo using a mind arc

idle jay
#

That's true

compact coyote
#

the "echo" is a call back to echo-64

#

lots of call backs to waking titan in the main story

mighty rampart
#

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)

idle jay
#

Lol nice

waxen garnet
#

Damn

compact coyote
#

oh wow

waxen garnet
#

"from where do you judge their works?"

mighty rampart
#

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

uncut harness
#

The missions also reference that.

#

It was not truly murder, for each one of them was all the same, weren’t they?

mighty rampart
#

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||

compact coyote
#

fr?

#

idk if i wanna see lol

mighty rampart
#

||you wont see it literally, but you will read about it||

idle jay
#

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

compact coyote
#

is that oficial @mighty rampart ?

#

how do we know it ends in a cliffhanger?

mighty rampart
#

and no it doesnt directly feel like it will lead to new content

#

it can go either way - new content or new season

idle jay
#

I have my hopes

#

They did say it would be an eventful summer after all

severe sun
#

A variety of events.

uncut harness
#

|| 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||

compact coyote
#

its just gonna be crazy whatever happens in the last weekend mission

idle jay
#

Yep

uncut harness
#

It will involve finding knowledge stones

#

3 of them

idle jay
#

And it will also involve giving x item to a traveler grave

uncut harness
#

We can solve for x

#

But I always forget where that info is, it is somewhere in this Discord...

gloomy echo
#

New theory:
Tethys is the very last first spawn gek.

It's why he never leaves, and is so distrustful and paranoid.

idle jay
#

The stuff he says the first time you interact with him to

mighty rampart
#

I HIGHLY doubt that

gloomy echo
#

Yeah, like being hunted

mighty rampart
#

mostly because he's not even a Gek

idle jay
#

Yeah

gloomy echo
#

Lol only he claims that, and if he was a first spawn, he surely would claim that

mighty rampart
#

...right

#

this is like looking at a lizard and calling it a frog

gloomy echo
#

It's like any of us have ever seen an ancient reptilian alien before with which to say beyond a shadow of a doubt.......

mighty rampart
uncut harness
#

isn't there a title about meeting first-spawn?

mighty rampart
#

k im out of this one, peace

gloomy echo
#

Lol only sith speak in absolutes....

sturdy acorn
#

that is r/copypasta material

idle jay
#

To be fair, you'd have to explore a lot of planets to understand No Man's Sky

sturdy acorn
#

great

#

now i want to see a NMS version of the rick and morty 300iq copypasta

severe sun
#

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

idle jay
#

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 😎

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.

idle jay
#

Nah I read it and agree with what you said

golden rain
#

Yeah and I appreciate that, but it still is what it is. Thus is the nature of the internet.

severe sun
#

Yeah, was as plausible as anything else I've read here

#

likely more

gloomy echo
#

Atleast I labeled my comment as a "theory" lol

golden rain
#

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.

idle jay
#

I like to think of this weekend lore as a TV show. We just tune in every weekend to see what happens next

severe sun

sometimes we read the tv guide too just to find out what happens next week

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.

sturdy acorn

i think he means manual spellchecking

compact coyote
#

i wish the glyphs meant something ya know

crisp fern
#

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

#

Why am I hearing so much about the 12th? Who's spreading these rumours?

timid mist
#

No idea, the weekend missions don't end until the weekend following the 24th or something anyways.

grizzled apex
#

Exactly. That's why the 12th confused me

uncut harness
#

Missions end the 20th

grizzled apex
#

And they end on a cliffhanger so any content then is highly debatable

#

Dont they end on 23rd?

uncut harness
#

So, dunno about the 12nd

timid mist
#

well

grizzled apex
#

I can link a file from ETARC

timid mist
#

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

gloomy isle
#

If its a big update I'd imagine it'll pick up the story maybe?

uncut harness
#

yeah that's what I meant

gloomy isle
#

Or at least be set up by the missions

grizzled apex
timid mist
#

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

grizzled apex
#

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.

uncut harness
#

Yeah, its just summing weeks

timid mist
#

but I just checked the schedule table again and the Start Date for the final one is Sept 16th, end is the 23rd

uncut harness
#

Last one was the 10th mission of the second season

timid mist
#

so yeah 20th is the last day of the last mission

grizzled apex
#

Ah so it IS 23rd

#

Oh

timid mist
#

Well, that's when it technically ends

#

but that's just a switch over point

grizzled apex
#

I guess

timid mist
#

the actual mission will be unavailable after the 20th

compact coyote
#

do we think an update will happen once the season is over?

grizzled apex
#

I'm 90% convinced HG leaves these things here for us to find, rather than these being mistakes

timid mist
#

so like if any NPCs are missing they'll return after the Wednesday, not after the 20th

grizzled apex
#

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

timid mist
#

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

uncut harness
#

Time to change the system clock and do the last mission now

timid mist
#

I think there is still some server side stuff to it

uncut harness
#

(don't actually do that)

grizzled apex
#

Most likely

timid mist
#

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

uncut harness
#

Well the update would come after the missions end, not before

compact coyote
#

yup

timid mist
#

yeah

#

that was more a statement for the people thinking there would be some sort of anniversary variety update this month lol

uncut harness
#

Anniversary update was 2.62 :p

compact coyote
#

September is my bet

timid mist
#

yeh end of sept I could see at the very least some sort of announcement

uncut harness
#

End of sept fits their current pace

#

update every 2ish months

#

Desolation is a month old already

compact coyote
#

theres gotta be something thats gonna happen after this and my bet is an anniversary update

grizzled apex
#

I imagine S3 but probably nothing like an anniversary update

#

Or some significant update

#

Not the giant dreamy Anniversary update

compact coyote
#

its the yearly trend

#

no mans sky beyond is still pinned

grizzled apex
#

I dunno
Trends could break

uncut harness
#

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.

grizzled apex
#

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

uncut harness
#

Introducing the cliffhanger update:

Players can now hang from ledges

compact coyote
#

lmaooooo

grizzled apex
#

That's what we currently are at though. The cliff hanger

timid mist
#

work has been so boring lately I just want a sean tweet to lighten up my day, even if it leads to literally nothing

What if he tweeted
16/16

To symbolize the last minute

timid mist
#

counts down from 16, one tweet per day, and on the final day he just goes into the negatives

grizzled apex
#

Oh wow

#

16/16 End of development announced.

grizzled apex
#

Start with the usual

#

I love how we're at the point where if Sean posts an emoji we break the internet 😄

grizzled apex
#

Tweet about the history of nms out of nowhere

uncut harness
#

grizzled apex
#

And then announce the next update

uncut harness
#

That would be hilarious

timid mist
#

I would love if he would just post a seemingly innocent tweet that drives the community mad

grizzled apex
#

He does

#

Everytime

#

He tweets something random

#

like "my nephew turned 16 today, great!"

IF HE UNPINS NMS BEYOND, I WOULD ACTUALLY DIE

Or rather

compact coyote
#

it WILL happen. just WHEN

timid mist
#

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.

sand karma
#

Unless it happens after he says "this is the last NMS update" it will cause a LOT of rumors 😄

timid mist
#

like "long day at work trying to get this huge update for No Man's Sky out! no idea when tbh"

grizzled apex
#

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

timid mist
#

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?"

compact coyote
#

the weekend missions is the new waking titan, im all here for it

@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

see the trick to the 16 minutes is that even Atlas doesn't know what happens

compact coyote
#

and 16 mins to atlas

crisp fern
#

They freakin' 'cause they just don't know

grizzled apex
#

Nms support for 16 billion years then!

crisp fern
#

Is it death? Is it just change? WHO KNOWS

uncut harness
#

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

crisp fern
#

imagine being able to foresee everything your entire existence, and then you hit the point where your foresight ends

#

big OSHIT moment

timid mist
#

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

compact coyote
#

the next nms update trailer will be CINEMATIC

crisp fern
#

i would take egg hunt over do thing wait do thing wait do thing wait

compact coyote
#

Desolation trailer was kinda cinematic

timid mist
#

no thank you

grizzled apex
#

I just want trailer lady tbh

the next nms update trailer will be CINEMATIC
@compact coyote

timid mist
#

desolation trailer was neat

crisp fern
#

the next NMS update is strictly a cutscene

uncut harness
#

So neat there is a whole channel about it

timid mist
#

though it did sorta give away the varieties of derelicts

grizzled apex
crisp fern
#

the info is in the derelicts 👀

compact coyote
#

what if in the last weekend mission we get a cutscene of a love story between 2 humans?

crisp fern
#

just gotta keep searching

grizzled apex
#

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

uncut harness
#

It was cool

grizzled apex
#

Yup

#

Kinda fun

crisp fern
#

i still don't get the boundary failures as a structure tbh

uncut harness
#

We wouldn't have thought of the Spermalist update otherwise,

grizzled apex
#

Reminded me of WT

crisp fern
#

are the boundary failures like a comms structure or...

severe sun
#

So, no in game source for it, but my impression is that the structures hold reality together on planets where it has failed

compact coyote
#

The weekend missions are Waking titan but reincarnated. just think if it that way

uncut harness
#

Yeah that's what I think they are too

#

Fuckup containment facilities

crisp fern
#

and what makes the weird planets "glitches" anyway

#

is it that they're too close to reality or a terminated universe?

uncut harness
#

They are varied and not varied at the same time

grizzled apex
#

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

crisp fern
#

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?

grizzled apex
#

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

crisp fern
#

Barring megaexotics, many of the weird planets seem like they're traces of past civilizations' experiments

grizzled apex
#

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

uncut harness
#

Does anybody have the glyphs of the last weekend mission planet?

grizzled apex
#

And did anyone notice that scanning your own grave shows it as a BOUNDARY FAILURE

uncut harness
#

Wanna see what they chose

grizzled apex
#

Your own grave

uncut harness
#

guys

#

im about to go to a new universe

grizzled apex
uncut harness
#

i dont know which to go to

grizzled apex
#

The lazt one

#

Not sure about the glyphs

crisp fern
#

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

grizzled apex
#

They might also indicate a boundary failure between the boundaries of the Atlas world and the simulation

uncut harness
#

nope no glyphs

#

maybe the wiki...

crisp fern
#

That's what I'm getting at in a way Soleth

grizzled apex
#

Yea

#

Definitely a leak

#

From somewhere else

crisp fern
#

Not necessarily the Atlas reality, but some of the realities the Atlas existed in

#

Maybe

grizzled apex
#

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

uncut harness
#

Nope, the wiki doesn't have them either

crisp fern
#

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||

uncut harness
#

i went to the green

grizzled apex
#

@uncut harness
I believe the glyphs aren't disclosed or documented yet. Best asking a modder or datamniner

uncut harness
#

I got this feeling I have seen them before

timid mist
#

what glyphs?

uncut harness
#

The ones for the last weekend mission

timid mist
#

oh gotcha

uncut harness
#

I vaguely remember a screenshot of a spreadsheet with that info on it

#

Too bad screenshots can't be Ctrl+F

timid mist
uncut harness
#

Oh, I meant the last last

#

the 15th mission

timid mist
#

oh like in the future

uncut harness
#

yup

timid mist
#

I'll get it for you

uncut harness
#

I got this dreadful feeling

#

that is it gonna be the only Rick Astley planet in the game

grizzled apex
#

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?

compact coyote
#

a universe reset is very likely

uncut harness
#

I think it was ingame?

grizzled apex
#

It seems different but yea maybe Gemini already uses this

uncut harness
#

Or not, I have read the datamine so many times i'm probably imagining int

grizzled apex
#

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?

uncut harness
#

Thank you Zoid

#

Now I only have to visit it in every galaxy

#

Easy peasy

grizzled apex
#

Isn't it euclid by default?

#

The weekend missions?

uncut harness
#

I actually don't know

#

I'm in Euclid, so if it isn't there, nothing I can do.

timid mist
#

I think that dialogue is for when Hesperus first disappeared, and was maybe used in place of Gemini's normal greeting? Idk

grizzled apex
#

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?

timid mist
#

Could be

prime inlet
#

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

severe sun
#

weekend missions are kind of special cause the portal doesn't get dialled

timid mist
#

yeah portal coords don't usually take into account galaxy

#

that's what the code I posted is 16 glyphs instead of 12

severe sun
#

no coords are involved

grizzled apex
#

Yep they have a value for galaxy in place

prime inlet
#

yeah, it's automatic, ik, i just hope they turn that on for us to use.

timid mist
#

that would be nice

severe sun
#

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

timid mist
#

I would understand if there was more meaninful differences between galaxies

prime inlet
#

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

severe sun
#

keep in mind though that most people who play the game aren't actually part of any community

crisp fern
#

Starbirth is galaxy specific? bummer

severe sun
#

NMS has sold a few million copies

timid mist
#

yeah didn't know that

severe sun
#

there ain't a million people here

timid mist
#

close to 40k now i think

#

not nearly as many active though lol

severe sun
#

We're talking about you, lurkers

timid mist
severe sun
#

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

prime inlet
#

someone took the time for that?

severe sun
#

more than one person

#

there's like, 30 spheres there

prime inlet
#

probably made the same mistake and thought of leaving a comms behind

timid mist
#

guess it's better than racist comm balls on event planets lol

severe sun
#

true that

prime inlet
#

remind me again, can we report those?

severe sun
#

yes

#

the prompt has gone, but apparently you can still hold 'e'

timid mist
#

I thought we could but didn't see the option

#

oh nice

nocturne zephyr
#

i need to start leaving comm balls saying "VARIATION"

timid mist
#

that's good to know for next time

crisp fern
#

do you still see bases with network stuff turned off? thonk

prime inlet
#

yeah, thanks

#

yes, if they've been uploaded right?

#

i visited pixy's racetrack and i had mp off

crisp fern
#

If so that's annoying, should be hidden alongside comms stations with network stuff off

severe sun
#

reporting a base immediately removes it from your view, which is good

timid mist
#

btw @grizzled apex that dialogue is used in the ALIENPUZZLETABLE file, though hard to tell how it's reached

crisp fern
#

'cause i know you still see comms stations with mp off

prime inlet
#

yeah

crisp fern
#

and that's silly

prime inlet
#

i agree as well

grizzled apex
#

@timid mist oh
That's a very interesting discovery.
Was that added with the weekend missions

crisp fern
#

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

grizzled apex
#

@timid mist I'm gonna have to check that file.
I'll report any findings here.

timid mist
#

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

crisp fern
#

@grizzled apex just fyi, you'll likely want to grab mission tables as well to trace how that option comes up

compact coyote
#

some people on comm balls are spoiling stuff in the lore planets

crisp fern
#

There's rarely a file in NMS that makes sense completely on its own

grizzled apex
#

Oh thanks @crisp fern that's super useful for a slight noob like me

#

@crisp fern yes I noticed that on my search 😛

uncut harness
#

i need to start leaving comm balls saying "VARIATION"
@nocturne zephyr Gonna do just that now

prime inlet
#

some people on comm balls are spoiling stuff in the lore planets
@compact coyote must think they're doing others a service.

timid mist
#

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

grizzled apex
#

Although

crisp fern
#

gotcha, wasn't sure how extensive your search was

grizzled apex
#

If they gonna change that why not go the extra mile and have slightly more meaningful dialogue

uncut harness
#

hmm

#

Discovery services down on Ps4?

#

or just me?

timid mist
#

weird, there's a reference to this in the scaneventtable as well

grizzled apex
#

Strange

timid mist
#

@crisp fern do you by chance have an exml version of the recurring missions table
