So they don't go "btw here's my best bud Hesperus" like the first time you meet them normally

I'm getting NMS ads on Instagram again
Maybe time for another small content update?
It has been a month
mental socket
has anyone seen ads anywhere else?
gloomy isle
I have a feeling they might crop up on reddit again
If it goes on sale then we definitely know it's time for something
wild iris
I saw a NMS ad on facebook this morning π could this mean.......
gloomy isle
They tend to appear when there's an update relatively soon
And it's been a month since desolation, and the mini updates are usually like a month apart
So I think another small update could be coming
mighty rampart
ye they can totally drop a content update this week if they have one
nocturne zephyr
Time for new exo ? With 24 hour timers pls

mighty rampart
that's for next month
nocturne zephyr

mighty rampart
they can just do something like an Exo mech
or uh whatever the incinerator multitool tech was meant for
gloomy isle
I definitely think something bigger will happen in September. What I mean though is desolation was kinda teased by the weekend missions to iirc
nocturne zephyr
If it's a smaller update, what if we got a whole multi sword system
gloomy isle
Could be cool. Desolation seemed to be building off living ship, so maybe there's a suspiciously un- fleshed out feature that could be deepened?
If they made cooking and farming actually useful maybe...
gloomy isle
Or...
Expanding the derelicts generation to ruins and stuff
Would massively benefit exploration
And imo it has a lot of potential for traps and stuff, which are quite fun in the freighters
Like the nests and the turrets
nocturne zephyr
An overhaul of all the buildings that spawn on planets
Even allow Base building parts in a procedurally-generated system for NPCs on planets. They could end up being pirate Outposts, shelters, abandoned towns, etc

I'm here for some juicy spoiler discussion after realizing no-mans-sky channel is in REDACTED mode right now.
And in regards to derelict stuff, I'd really enjoy more interesting alien encounters.
I suppose that is partially inspired by the fact that derelicts already look very much like something out of Alien: Isolation or Dead Space.
timid mist
if they could update NPCs to move around more, they could maybe change the biology scans to actually find living things on board
i've spoken about this before but it would be a cool thing to get an injured or barricaded alien encounter and you have to help them escape

No regrets. Desolation is a solid example.
But bark-eaters with a fetish for Lush planets have ruined variety.

crisp fern
HG catering to the masses has brought better gameplay and depth to the game.
@waxen garnet super questionable
waxen garnet
I know that can seem extreme but how many planet screenshots on the game subreddit are not lush planets?
crisp fern
"better gameplay" like grinding nanites and quicksilver, throwaway secondary missions for vendor trash, and marginal stat bonuses on equipment that ultimately hardly matters because there's next to no difficulty curve? 
waxen garnet
The fact that it got better doesn't mean that it is perfect.
Or even solid, actually.
Just less empty.
crisp fern
I'm contesting that the gameplay improved at all, outside of some QOL touches
waxen garnet
Well. To be honest, many additions were hit or miss.
Like, living ships are a no no to me.
But derelicts are fine.
crisp fern
like literally the biggest gameplay change was basebuilding, which in itself is technically still crafting and that's eehhh
waxen garnet
Base building is pure heresy /s
mighty rampart
not just base building but also early game grind
crisp fern
Derelicts are def. an improvement, but the gameplay involved isn't that strong. It's just navigate interior spaces
mighty rampart
which again doesnt really bother the older players
crisp fern
Find keycards, etc.
waxen garnet
The game needs deep changes for many of its gameplay aspects to really matter.
crisp fern
Early game grind isn't any better imo
nocturne zephyr
gimme big dead trees on snow planets
crisp fern
If anything it's slightly more convoluted with intro. of refining, crafting starship launch fuel, and randomly sending you to find a part to repair your ship at wall panels that will never in the future provide you parts
waxen garnet
The foundations of the game were good, but too many fluff made them unstable.
crisp fern
And then also the forced intro base
waxen garnet
Atlas Rises was an era full of hope. But instead of focusing on improving what was already there and looking good, they kept on adding more stuff that look like early drafts more often than not.
crisp fern
Atlas Rises was where it was clearer to me they were going awry
mighty rampart
forced intro base may have been ok if the game had strong survival elements, but it really doesnt as it wont take you long to get a free freighter and most of the important stuff except geobays can be done from there
crisp fern
really doesn't have strong survival elements mostly because there's an overabundance of sodium if you just look around much of the time, lol
waxen garnet
That's because the game is also highly predictable.
uncut harness
Not even sodium
waxen garnet
Random stuff don't matter.
mighty rampart
and in survival mode it doesnt take any long to craft a bunch of ion batteries to compensate for the small stack sizes

i swung by a system earlier today with two dead planets, and get this...one was light brown, and one was light gray! variety!
waxen garnet
Variety was thrown to the trash with Next. Maybe even with AR.
Weird biome is static. Mega Exotics are uninspired and use recycled assets/objects tables from other biomes.
Real shame.
Litteraly, a modder could have done Mega Exotics.
It is not serious, invested work.

They are fillers. And I fear they were made as token "variety". Because "every planet procedural".

@waxen garnet in some respects they did and i've never been a fan

waxen garnet
@crisp fern I know you are not a fan of planet gen mods.
The only custom BIG object is the ring rock.
crisp fern
nah i don't mind planet gen mods, i mind ones that just mishmash assets
crisp fern
and enlarge some
nocturne zephyr
i hope next gen port can have animated, flowing trees
waxen garnet
It is in fact a spike rock (from underwater and radioactive biome) that is a closed circle.
Other big objects also already exist in the game.
They were remade to look better when enlarged.
Nothing really new.
I bet it took a few hours of work to a professional.
The material file it uses is also named after the spike rock lol
No shame here.

Tbh I hadn't noticed it was literally the same rock
It is my least favorite big asset tho
crisp fern
i mean tbh it's p. smart in the same way reusing old stations for abandoned systems was p. smart
would it be preferable for a proper custom thing instead? yeah tho
waxen garnet
Didn't say it wasn't smart.
uncut harness
They should have reused pre-Next colors, that would have been smart too.

timid mist
yeah @uncut harness i had seen that in the files a bit ago, doesn't seem to have much associated with it though
waxen garnet
Please. No live service type "seasons" in the game.
They are crazy enough to go that way.
timid mist
there's barely anything linked to it so I don't know if I'd read much into it
uncut harness
It's a game mode supposedly
waxen garnet
What else remains?
uncut harness
Like creative is
timid mist
We know it's a game mode, but it doesn't mean it'll be implemented
waxen garnet
I know.
timid mist
there was the basically full functionaly ambient game mode but that was never released
waxen garnet
Isn't ambient mode the stuff they use to test?
timid mist
this isn't functional, it's just a new value with no new functionality built into it. It's possible there's something being developed for it but don't get upset without knowing what it is lol
and I doubt it, it's very slow and doesn't seem like a debugging tool at all
waxen garnet
ok
timid mist
it could be a cool internal tool they use but I doubt they'd use it for serious debugging, maybe just a "the game loads" type of thing to test certain functions
uncut harness
Maybe it's ||to unlock Christmas costumes for pets ||
waxen garnet
Buildable christmas tree for QS reward.
Plus the ability to plant gifts in people's bases.
timid mist
it almost seems like a new way to handle community missions or something
timid mist
I don't think they do in the files no
timid mist
That's just what people call the different iterations of weekend missions
waxen garnet
Their naming routine for files is everything but consistent.
timid mist
but yeah looking at this structure, a lot of this info is currently used for the weekend events. Maybe they would be more in depth missions or something, I have no clue
waxen garnet
Also, they did call it a season in one of the dev blog, I believe.
Before Desolation.
crisp fern
hmm, definitely too lacking to read much into atm
timid mist
It's honestly very vague, I don't know why it's classified as its own mode. But every save now has a seasonal game mode data bit attached to it now
They might have removed that but it was added at one point, which is what makes me think it's not a full on mode on its own. More like add on info to track progress or something.
waxen garnet
Can it be a bunch a variables that are modified or added during a certain period?
timid mist
but yeah really not enough info to make any accurate guesses lol
crisp fern
May have been considering different ways to handle the dailies & weeklies across saves
severe sun
@timid mist have they just implemented an interface/abstract class and some of those fields have been pulled in from a generic mission type?
waxen garnet
So they don't have to actually update the game for it to "evolve" over time.
timid mist
Maybe, some of those are things that are part of your save data so they might have been required fields that aren't used, like ship and weapon seeds
severe sun
that'd be my best guess if they exist elsewhere - and just the tool used to decompile doesn't have enough information fo figure out more complex inheritance
timid mist
honestly i have no real good guesses, but it being attached to the save data makes me think maybe it's not it's own mode on its own
maybe they'll let you track progress/QS using your NMS friend code instead of your save file lol, idk
or maybe it's exactly what everyone who hates MP would hate to hear, and it's a game mode that gets changed every now and then purely for MP
uncut harness
It think it might be a ingame editor 'mode', to place and configure NPC and such. If they ever mode away from the current mission structure and I'd expect such tools to appear over time

I tried to plot a map of a small area of terrain, height included
Without a height reading it's too complicated for me though

Plus some general waviness from veering left/right not helping as I go to take shots

Need to sort out a better way to keep height & path alignment stable
I may also want to change the FOV, but I'd have to fly higher to capture as much detail then, which in turn may lose some detail due to LODs

Not really a spoiler but it looks like an ETS setup 
ebon spoke
I just encountered a really creepy bug/easter egg?
so the main menu, like mode select screen, normally plays music, right?
this time, for some reason, it was playing ocean ambience. Like waves on a beach sound effect.
I'm thinking it may have been a bug, as I had just died from falling under the terrain in a permadeath save, and there is water under the terrain so it may have bugged out loading a sound associated with that
but it was still pretty out of place, and a little unsettling considering the lore around the Abyss being ocean related.
mental socket
Since when did NMS have such sound effect and why isn't it being used at beaches/shorelines?
mighty rampart
it does?

you mean that tiny splishing as if someone were to dip their fingers in a sink full of water?

Captain Steve checked them not too long ago and found nothing new

I thought nothing of it because tbh travellers always had weird dialogue
But I don't think I have ever seen that one before
And the list doesn't have it
compact coyote
love what that traveller said
jovial violet
It's not a new line, sadly. It's one of the lines a Traveller can have during a conversation where you can barter/trade/ask for a grave site. UPDATE3 is Atlas Rises' language file
mighty rampart
ohh
jovial violet
Yeah, true. I think that dump is only for the special conversations you can have with them, though, where you get "unique" dialogue and options to reply with?
And then after that conversation you have the "normal" Traveller interactions where you can get glyphs or trade nanites
uncut harness
Ooh that's probably it then
The most uninteresting option is the right one once again
jovial violet
lol yeah, true that!
It's interesting to me how old content seems forever relevant to everyone in this community, we're all looking at old stuff wondering if it's pushing us towards something new, no matter how old it is
Very meta
mighty rampart
well because some of it literally did happen like the lore of 1.3 hinting at proper multiplayer
and the current weekend mission storyline relating to the abyss lore added in 1.5(?)
jovial violet
Oh yeah, all that lore was so cool, actually! This is why I want these weekend missions to really go somewhere interesting, or for another big story update to happen
It's always so interesting to me, idk
uncut harness
When was the new Boundary Failure text added? Do you.know?
mighty rampart
1.5 I believe
jovial violet
Entries 1-20 was 1.3 I think, with the initial release of the Exotic biomes. I can try and investigate when the final logs came in, though, as no one seems 100% sure on that. I'll sift through the language files and see what I find
uncut harness
It would be hilarious if it was really added in 1.5
And only now people have begun noticing
jovial violet
Yeah I'd love that, haha, shows how little people pay attention to this stuff sometimes
uncut harness
wiki was only recently updated
jovial violet
mighty rampart
I remember reading the boundary failure texts on the wiki instead of the pastebin

the 31st encounter was the 21st one before the change
mighty rampart
June this year?
uncut harness
2020
jovial violet
Right, I got an exact match on the 21st entry in the LOC5 file. I'm guessing this is Beyond, as the first entries in the language file are to do with VR
mighty rampart
then either it was overlooked before or they added it to go along with the weekly missions
uncut harness
Beyond only text to confirm?
Is the power stuff in that file too?
Generators names and solar panels etc
mighty rampart
Entries #21 to #30 suggest that at some point, the creators of the Atlas tried to shut it down, but were either trapped or killed, before the Atlas copied them as Data and turned them into the Last Traveler.
doubt it
jovial violet
It has the dialogue for the Anomaly NPC's and power items, yes
mighty rampart
sounds more like its Null as they were the first traveller
mighty rampart
proof that it's Null: ```- 22ND Encounter
Their face is energy now, a white orb suspended within a containment field. They wanted to see their own soul.
They wanted to see everything there was to see.
It took years to establish communication. There are rules for everything - protocols that must be followed. But if you understand causality, you can do anything.
They understood at last. They had never been alone.
βSpeak,β they whispered. βSpeak...β```

oh yeah, someone datamined the experimental 2.5 build and there were apparently over a thousand new audio files but unsure if they were really "new" or not

the game refers to "the last traveller". Is the player the last traveller?
then who are all the other players running around?
unless they're also the last traveller but diff iterations

The player is not the last traveler. The player is honestly not a traveler at all. We are memories of the atlases creators. Im pretty sure the last traveler is actually null.

So, Captain Steve has 30 videos recorded for season 1 of the weekend missions, but I can only find 25 dialogs for season 1. When I look at their mission 21, it's a repeat of mission 1 basically.

If they continue the weekend mission structure, they need to edit the formula
Throw a bunch of tasks into a procedural system

i was looking at the author of the weekend lores twitter page and i came across some charachter names for the weekend missions like Lazarus, Asteria the Hero traveller, Narcissus ally of the last spawn, hildebrand.. wtf?
mighty rampart
its in the weekly missions
the wiki still hasnt added the text back yet
I hear their names in the static... Asteria, the Hero-Traveller... Narcissus, ally of the Last Spawn..
They are countless. The anomaly demands a sacrifice. It does not speak with malice. It is in pain.```this was in the second week of s2
Names fill my mind. Lazarus. Artemis. Hildebrand
I transfer the navigational data to the Nexus. This data will take some time to decodeβ¦```Maybe we will hear from them again

yeah, some muppet has removed all of the weekend mission lore because they're "improving" it on another page
the other page isn't actually finished though
They should have left the old page as-is until it was ready

@severe sun
I'm glad you like my work so much, yes I have the intention to finish it, but until just now I didn't have access to all of the back catalog of dialog because no one thought to post it anywhere I could find, except in a bunch of random YouTube videos because as has been pointed out there arnt a lot of ppl that even noticed or cared about that part of the dialogue for a while. But thanks to the nice people here I have that dialogue to work with. I will get to it when I have time, but like many I have to do that around a full time job and RL commitments. If you would like to help fill in the blanks we all would love the assistants. Also yes the formatting is terrible, and I'm open to suggestions for improvement. The goal is to make it more readable and reader friendly as stright data dumps are not the easiest thing for ppl that don't understand the code to follow.

4 more weeks

Hopefully
I'm excited to see what comes at the end of it
It's definitely leading somewhere
crisp fern
yeah for what it's worth besides complaining or criticizing I've also been trying to help by filling some of the season 1 info. I also got Captain Steve to organize their season 1 videos into a playlist so we can link that instead of each individual one.
Procedural Traveler has season 2 in a playlist already so we can work with that.
@gloomy isle no i mean there are only 4 more weekend missions to go
so, supposing no disruptions, 4 more weeks to whatever comes
gloomy isle
Yeah I'm just saying I think something might be waiting at the end of them that's all
crisp fern
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but prior to these, wasn't there another season of weekly missions in the old Anomaly? Or were those not weekly, instead determined by community unlock?
gloomy isle
They were weekly I think
But they didn't really follow a strong narrative or lead anywhere like this season is doing
uncut harness
Didn't the old anomaly weekend missions lead to visions?
uncut harness
I don't actually remember, maybe those happened months apart
quiet edge
I chose to save Artemis, and am trying to decide whether to tell him the truth or to lie to him about the simulation. Any guidance without spoiling too heavily?
crisp fern
But they didn't really follow a strong narrative or lead anywhere like this season is doing
@gloomy isle I think they were celebrating the ongoing development tho.
@quiet edge it's different dialog, you don't miss out on it leading to other missions or rewards
gloomy isle
Good point
quiet edge
Does it change any major story content? I don't really know how the story works, like if there's multiple endings or anything like that.
crisp fern
You've basically already sailed past that with your Artemis decision, so no, not really
quiet edge
The decision to save or kill Artemis branches the story?
quasi oracle
It offers some slightly different dialogue but nothing significant
crisp fern
The decision to save or kill Artemis branches the story?
@quiet edge yes, but as others already indicated, it's much like your current truth/lie decision

@nova crypt just over 250 galaxies

so I'm likely able to find some sort of procedurally generated animal that no-one's ever seen then?

well there's that distinct possibility in any of the galaxies
but there is a limit of sorts, so it may hold a resemblance to fauna others have seen

it's the thing everyone likes to imagine is the reason terrain gen isn't as wild as it could be

I thought the super formula was for the assets, not terrain
And it would have been able to procedurally make assets for the game or at least modify them

Yup
it would make assets, then all they have to do is set the terrain gen back to foundations then boom

oh wait I mean

this update will finally add new base parts based on the Abyss
mental socket
And living exocraft because abyss corrupts them
mental socket
Quicksilver synthesis bot gets glitched out by abyss and creates 100 new emotes and cosmetics
Walls of the multiverse will finally collapse entirely, linking the quicksilver into a currency used on planet Earth
Variety of the universe will decrease by 50% as the Atlas gets so corrupted by Abyss that it wipes out a lot of its memory

i believe a trailer for the update will roll out right after the last weekend mission

uncut harness
It's lore-friendly too, could happen
glass flare
my only theory that is kind towards HG is that the diminishing variety of each update is all lore-based due to memory corruption of Atlas, and the endgame will be a final update that is NMS with the original Elite graphics. and then NMS 2.0 is announced

@crisp fern at the end, Atlas will only have enough uncorrupted RAM left to simulate this https://www.c64-wiki.com/images/e/ef/Elite_Animation.gif

cosmic walrus
Ik Gek are adorable blood thirsty lil cuties
odd valley
the korvax were enslaved by gek
cosmic walrus
I found out like 2 hours into the game
odd valley
some korvax sacrificed themselves by cutting open themselves and spilling nanites into pools of unborn gek, changing the DNA of all future generations and freeing the korvax
taking place over generations
cosmic walrus
That part I knew of but only in passing mentions
odd valley
so then why ask about it spoiling in general chat
cosmic walrus
Reading that makes more sense than what I gathered in the game
odd valley
ah
cosmic walrus
I didn't know the full story of what the Korvax did, just that they did... something
odd valley
yeah the gek did not change their mind or intentionally stop being horrible beings that enslaved races
They did it because the nanites forced their brains to
after generations of nanites being inside gek
cosmic walrus
Neat
odd valley
meaning gek Ingame are part korvax
cosmic walrus
So if the nanites died they'd go back
odd valley
itβs part of their evolution now
they are born with the descendants of the nanites of the original sacrificed korvax
Making all gek part korvax
cosmic walrus
Hm. I dislike the Korvax. This sparks issues
For me, that is
Cool lore though
So am I right in believing the Sentinels need to be erased? Or have I been spending too much time with Gek and Vy'keen?
