who out here laughing

hmmm
I'm starting to think that Atlas is really the head of some sort of cult...
And hespetus (spelling) is trying to break away, but the others are all 'one of us'
the benefit of Atlas is apparent, so why would people break away anyway :V
idk lol
What was the lore this week?
Question, if I reset the simulation at the end of the Purge quest, will I lose my base/ or can I just teleport back? Are there any long term consequences? I want to get the achievement.
You would still be able to teleport back. Make sure you put down a base in the new galaxy though if you ever plan on returning
π
Does anyone have the title "Seeder of Worlds"? It is right before the titles for refusing to reset or resetting the simulation so it logically should be for birthing a star I assume....which you always can do even long after finishing all the story content. But doing so didn't unlock that title for me. Maybe it's for creating a certain amount of "new" stars like 5 or something?
this is the 3rd time I end the main story line
i still don't understand, Nada and Polo are angry with us for restarting the whole univerese or they are just the nada and polo of other "universe"
asking because the look like they dont know us anymore, and that could mean both things
What do you mean, "it's the third time you end the main story line"? On multiple saves? Both main storylines can only be competed once per save; in other words there's no reason to redo them again in the same save. @summer nacelle
I'm not sure you can reset the universe multiple times
You can birth new stars as often as you like
You can go through the core multiple times
Yeah, going through the core. Redo the last step of the Atlas path? How?
But unless your game is glitched, you shouldn't be able to reset the universe more than once
Yeah; If new beginnings is started, then it's done
sf
What do you mean, "it's the third time you end the main story line"? On multiple saves? Both main storylines can only be competed once per save; in other words there's no reason to redo them again in the same save.
@prime inlet in different saves
But unless your game is glitched, you shouldn't be able to reset the universe more than once
@severe sun ?
Oh, ok :)
I think everytime you jump a galaxy you reset the universe
We're referring to the end of the Artemis path
At least as I see it, I mean I know a galaxy is not the universe but as the game see it every galaxy is a universe
That can only be done once per save, or else game has glitched
We're referring to the end of the Artemis path
@prime inlet oh, no the artemis path i'm aware you can't pass it two times
Yeah, multiple saves was the right answer
I've always refused, so I actually don't know what's their reaction if I didn't
They probably been reset too.
@prime inlet Yay! You're up!
Sent dm with some info. Sorry I didn't see your message till now. π
wait a god damn minute
I don't have to retire berlin after all!
I really never gave a shit about my shuttle so it can be sold for parts after being wrecked
why is a number decreasing
monkaS
well I wasn't expecting this
so um... my ship just changed from one type to another after fidning out that Artemis is 'dead' will it change back cause i loved how my ship looked
I'm still sad that Nada and Polo either don't remember me or they are angry for reseting the whole universe
that kinda thing should be marked with spoilers
but yeah, sad day
is permadeath the same difficulty/restrictions as survival, just with one life?
or does it get even harder?
the first, it doesn't really get harder
The only added difficulty is mostly just in avoiding things that might kill you that you take for granted
died three times trying to repair the ship, either exposure or suffocation
since I figured that bit out (using cells instead of oxygen) haven't died yet... but... dang, rough first thirty minutes
really want those two big achievements though π
you're in the spoiler channel btw
if you don't want to see spoilers... you shouldn't click here
me
@severe sun well dang! egg on my face.. thanks! thought I was in help 
Only thing I donβt like about resetting the galaxy is that the homies on the anomaly have no idea who I am
It feels like resetting is similar to when you unplug a desktop
Everything on it gets closed and when you reopen it the data isnβt saved
no just go to a planet and find any feline creature and give them specialized bait
Same π
I did the weekend just gone.
I'll miss the next couple and wait for the next bulk of missions.
I hope they are improving them some.
anything in the lore in the latest weekend mission that stood out?
another mention of water
And more Abyss too! Did they add more or are we on the last two?
last two
Hype!
When Sean?
so excited!!
I hate this place
I hate derelicts
nope nope nope nope nope nope Im out
fuck this shit I'm out
imagine how you'd handle Dead Space
the game
i can barely handle that tbh
smackin' all the little bio babies out through the windows
||HG gimme big dangerous daddy biohorror thanks!||
I just hate the pod things
I can't figure out if I want to reset
I have... 3 jumps left before I hit 16?
Do I lose my ship's inventory on reset?
@pale pine No, though technologies in your ship may be damaged when you emerge.
Gonna try again tomorrow, my discord also crashed and chrome had an error so I think it was something ram related
π€·ββοΈ
Dude, I fuckin LOVED Dead Space
same
Remember how space whales were joked about, and then we got living ships which were sort of like drivable space whales? Watch us get sandworm all terrain vehicles
Sandworms confirmed
@uncut harness Where did you hear this?
Just noticed

Now Iβll take it with a grain of salt just to be cautious but thatβs interesting
Iβll wait to see what happens. Things are going to be happening real soon. I feel it
sand worm exocraft
Thatβs what Iβm saying
I have a feeling (nothing more) that this might be bigger than the mini ones we've been getting
Same
Yeah
Almost half past midnight
Yes
I reckon he'll be being cryptic for a week or two and boom
Ngl that mention of the book was a little weird too
but like... we can't expect another drastic graphical style change
where they would revert back to the very early style
Yeah I don't think we'll get that. I think if it's variety they'll keep the current style but add more variation to that
Yeah that I doubt. Would be nice though
Maybe tweak it to be more vibrant as well
But definitely definitely modifying the current style
Current version still looks amazing with massive variation included
Oh definitely
It's graphically better than launch. It just needs the variety injected back into it
The way a lot of the vistas look, with the mist looks incredible
But we just need more
graphically better maybe but artistically questionable
Yeah
While the past aesthetic was, in concept, less generic, the graphical quality (or lack thereof) made it just look kinda blobby. I didn't feel like I was looking at some sort of artistically designed low-poly aesthetic, I felt like I was looking at PS2 quality clay (the only things that felt genuinely artistic were strcutures like the Atlas interfaces and the knowledge stones).
^
While a lot of it looked good, lots looked awful too
People like to say how bad the new terrain is, like the old terrain was any good
^
I would concur just based on Before and After videos.
what the FUCK are YOU????
The three main races
@uncut harness it's Atlas stuff. Just keep searching. Accept the truth.
Two fans tweeted that HG DM'd them asking for permission to use something of theirs in-game.
their game screenshots
Usually the screenshots are used as retweets or for a development update but instead it was mentiomed it was for "in-game". Interesting. Not sure what for?
Imagine strolling across a storm less planet with minimal Sentinels and you choose to build a base there.
You spend a few hours building your base and stand proudly looking at your creation and then BOOM, sandworm.
Gobbles you up and spits you out and laughs at your effort of making a permanent structure before digging underground and disappearing like it never happened.
"What the fuck" you would think to yourself.
"That was a sandworm."
You would then rush to post your encounter on the Unofficially Official No Man's Sky Discord.
"I just got eaten by a Sandworm" is what you would post in the no-mans-sky channel before you are met with laughter and abuse.
The huge tunnels I found would be cool if they were formed by burrowing worms
I can always imagine it myself tho
Imagine being in a cave and suddenly having to frantically run to the exit because a sandworm is passing through.
Not sure where to ask this.. Once youve done your first jump to a new system (I went to Eisentam), how much of the main story is left? It kinda feels like all is left is to get to the centre. Am I right or is there still more significant story to come? I know this is a spoiler channel but plz try not spoil too much in answering this q π Cheers
is New Beginnings an active mission on your mission Log menu, @wheat rampart ?
ill have to check quickly, but I think thats the one yes
that mission is always going to stay there. it's the last "mission" - no real objective - of the Artemis path.
besides the Artemis path, you also have the remembrance terminals and other lore spread across multiple things, and the Atlas path.
Yeah new beginnings is it
damn that was rather anticlimatic π
thanks @prime inlet
People like to say how bad the new terrain is, like the old terrain was any good
@gloomy isle i mean it was better tho, you may not have liked the textures, but the basic formations were more diverse
Usually the screenshots are used as retweets or for a development update but instead it was mentiomed it was for "in-game". Interesting. Not sure what for?
@fading hinge
Source?
Do the korvax still worship the sentinels?
yes, afaik
Interesting
@crisp fern I think the system made a lot of ugly shapes. Sure some things looked OK but imo the old terrain is largely just a bit ew
seriously
that's kind of the point, not everything is going to form in a nice looking manner
and you still get crap like this
\
alongside some new crap like this
and another example of current ugly terrain gen...
Honestly, that's way less common than bad terrain pre next
It was all just blobby and not that great imo
I like the new style more
Obvs it needs to be more diverse, but diversity is independent of art style
I still prefer the new terrain
Unless in mistaken and Fantasy changes terrain generation and not just biome assets, I can confirm canyons of some kind still exist
Style =/= diversity
You could drain all the diversity out of pre next and keep the same style
Like you could inject more diversity into the current style, which is what I want
Sorry, I meant new terrain gen up there
Imo it's not even that it's necessarily uglier it's just blander
I like the new terrain, it just needs more variety. The old terrain was ugly imo
Also not to be rude but can someone explain to me what this is in relation to spoilers
there isnt any just whiny boy
Tbh I have no idea lol
Coupled with being bland and having some of the old ugly rough edges of the old and it's just not that great
@kindred delta stop trying to pick a fight
I think this started with update speculation
just get salty when people bag on a solid game
And went on a tangent
Aethena, it's just in response to their early comment on preferring the new terrain gen and yeah update-ish stuff
No offense but this happens in every channel lately and this one is meant for data mining and story spoilers
@kindred delta bagging on is different to criticism
lmao
That's the only reason I bring it up
Should we move it over to #no-mans-sky or something
I would appreciate it π
Wow so I didn't even realise I had finished the main artemis / atlas story π π π π
I still thought I had to get to the centre of all the galaxies and there was some crazy thing there π€¦ββοΈ
I feel stupid now

@fading hinge
Source?
@grizzled apex
"Rey Reynolds" and "The Blank Face Watches"

@fading hinge oh thanks!
soon?
Source please?
Because this sounds interesting
ah
they could just show some old 1.0 screenshots so HG would have to put up those
π
they cant do it legally or Pixar might sue them this time around
no the door thing i think
ah
Need a large room of doors
if they were to include pre-next screenshots it would be a big slap on many peoples faces
:c
lmao
tbh in-game photo sharing is yet again just another little toy to play around with for a while and nothing substantial
:/
@mighty rampart Fill anomaly back room with doors to every space station in game
So the person HG asked screenshots from is like legit
Yeah
So it's not another "4chan leaker"
There were a couple of them and they are both legit
ah
what
Ray Reonalds is legit
Indeed. Seen that name in a few places
Neither of them have any idea what it's going to be used for either
I'm confused about whether HG wants to use Ray's edited screenshots or his poster stuff
So the person HG asked screenshots from is like legit
but none of them said "ah they told us they are using our screenshots to showcase a feature where an individual can upload their screenshots within the game for others to marvel"
Feed the art to cronus?
all we know they asked permission to use their images in game
Yeah what sohail said
they will turn their shots into buildable decoration available on QS store
remember this
Alexa set a reminder
Everyone has already suggested that as a possibility lol
It'll either be decorative or some sort of showcase thing
Time to grind for those and le living exocraft
I think it'd be neat to have a little section for players to look at in the anomaly
smh living ships were a missed opportunity to have a vehicle fueled by food
Like an art museum of sorts?
smh living ships were a missed opportunity to have a vehicle fueled by food
@crisp fern yeah and instead of it saying out of fuel, it would say its hungry
if we get the sand worm as an exocraft that would be disappointing but it could be a way to implement that
the ship hungers...
I wouldn't mind. I take WAY too many screenshots in this game.
they should fix this before including any more photo stuff
it would be sick for the sand worm if its coming back to be a boss fight
I haven't been able to see other peoples base shots ever since... well idk...
@mental socket its that picture because people dont use the "take screenshot" option on their base computer iirc
Likely because not many people do it lol
Game tends not to give great shots to choose from as i recall
you choose it then
Yeah I thought you could just take your own photo lol
can take your own from any angle
i don't base so i dunno, lol
I'm aware
i just know from a glance
You can adjust the camera.
well then smh no excuse
Boss animals could be cool
Make them really rare and give you big scan rewards as well
I would love a whole new set of verrrryy rare fauna for everyone to go discover
as long as they are in some way procedural it could be cool. I don't want to go back to the bespoke creature models that look the same on every planet you go to. sandworms would be a great boss enemy to find in cave systems
i will never suggest any feature that isn't procedural and varied
it's funny, there was a reddit post related to the sandworm tweet, and someone commented 'wait until we actually get sandworms, the complainers will start complaining they all look the same' or something like that.
and i'm like....
yeah? all fauna need procedural parts/color/size.
hell yeah i'll complain if they all look the same.
but that won't happen.
ehuehuehuehue
what if they took away our ability to color/resize the base parts and when we placed them, it chose the size/color at random
Imagine
We finally get sand worms
But we have to buy them with quicksilver and ride them like spongebob
I wouldn't mind riding a sandworm into battle against a walker.
Amused seeing players get their imagination going with that tweet. I hope Sean decides to actually make the reference relevant to NMS. Somehow.
less rigid flying snakes
giant centipedes would be cool too
imagine seeing a large one crawling through a cave tunnel
I do prefer centipedes.
hearing their little feat tick tack tick across the stone
π
Wormy boi.
true.
just a normal day in the park

Gimme the emojis
any emoji speculations?
Yes

Sean tweets just one thing: π₯
I just went through my first portal and I love the stargate inspiration.
Even the way the center expands out when it activates
"Gek Milk"- 100Geks


Wow this mission is going to suck...
From what I remember. Unfortunate, really. I'm going to be gone for 2 weeks and won't be able to play...
Unless I could somehow figure out how to do ps4 remote play from 800 miles away on a system that it wasn't designed for π
teethmate
adriane did it
why though
ariadne
yeah i said the french name fuck
oh, mb, i didn't realize that was the French version
uhh, it's been weird lately
They did break it but then seemingly fixed it, but some people have still reported not seeing many fauna
Creature spawning on the weekend mission planet was broken for me
Because of multiplayer correct?
ye mine is totally broke, very rarely spawns ground creatures
Creature spawning on the weekend mission planet was broken for me
@dreamy cypress Def bad RNGesus being a jerk with you. A friend said it was suuuper easy for him, solo.
id go thru my discoveries and look for the right type of critter on another planet but all my discoveries got wiped lol
Yeah that kind of stuff is screwed up with multiplayer enabled
@tame grotto If the planet fauna density says abundant, I expect it to be abundant, not governed by RNG
Ah
It definitely shouldn't be RNG. I assume it's a bug of sorts.
@dreamy cypress it used to be more reliable...At some point that stopped being the case
used to be u couldnt get away from creatures lol
If people are sailing through the mission with no issue, then it must be a bug
Yeah, I remember, I've been playing since October 2016 if I recall correctly
Hopefully they fix it with a fauna overhaul
Aah, gotcha, can never tell how long people have been playing here
V
We're not saying the z v word
zoinks?!
i quit after finding zero animals for an hour and a half. can someone tell me what happened after?
wait. WHY ARIADNE WHY
you realize it's not the real ariadne right
^
oh you could be right about that. saw that being brought up a few times in the story
i think we're at the point in this story where it's safe to mention that
I totally missed the last part of dialog as the mission just completed on its own while I was looking for animals
Weren't in a group or anything but there were others around
went to anomaly, abandoned mission, went back thru portal without mission, found a mess load of animals, got the fruits, went back to anomaly and did mission lol
An NPC aboard the Space Anomaly is a murderer
Or that
yeah but you're just reading about it rather than having any involvement
Who's the imposter then?
Like their identity, or who are they pretending to be?
They're pretending to be Ariadne
What/who they are is ???
Seems relatively safe to say The Abyss, but that doesn't answer all that much
Hmm
who did they murder?
Hey, all. Helping out a player in help channel. What is the bait for the weekend mission?
@languid wolf Some random contact of Tethys
oof poor tethys
Well not that Tethys was seeing them much anyways, given they just stand in anomaly most of their days
||could anyone tell me what's the item needed to feed the animals to get the weekend mission item?||
Please
Well since nobody has said yet and I'm about to do it, I'll let you know lol
Going to vent a moment: this event was awful. not only were there sparse critters that produce fruit, there were asshats who made bases at both the portal and the event site so you can't build stuff (like a nutrition processor), AND there were asshats camping out and shooting everyone who showed up. ridiculous. i ended up leaving, getting fruit elsewhere, then coming back to hurriedly "spend" it before I got shot up.
some guy had a magic minotaur that would kill max-shielded starships in a second.
no reason to have everyone hit up the same planet like that. it draws out the trolls, real bad.
so... careful. if you can farm leopard fruit elsewhere, do that first.
@hushed robin damn, sorry to hear you had a rough time with it. This is why I, not just because I'm not too into multiplayer, often recommend doing these missions with multiplayer disabled.
Folks just can't be trusted to not sometimes make things more trouble than they already might be.
In the future, wanna recommend reporting bases that get in the way like that, if you weren't already aware of the ability to do so. It immediately removes them from your instance of the game if I'm not mistaken.
I really like the idea of doing these missions with others. but nobody has a mission init'ed when i get there, nobody hops in when i init one, and the chaos ensures at the target planet.
AH, right, I've never reported anything before, forgot all about it. yes, that would have helped tremendously at the time.
I'm doing it right now, and there's not any trolling now (I'm actually using a base someone made with harvesters and a feeder) but man is this tedious
It needs 90 fruit
too bad I couldn't report the magic minotaur.
Yeah, thankfully reporting stuff is something you rarely ever even have to think about in this game
But uhh yeah, the only thing you could do with the minotaur situation is disable player damage in network options
And try to tell others to do so
interesting...
It's basically a PvP off switch
For whatever bizarre reason it's not set to off by default
Question: Is this imposter the person Artemis warned not to trust in the story or is it entirely unrelated?
"can damage players" now set to "no one". I never paid any attention to that before. I think you just changed my outlook on the quicksilver events completely. π
Uhhh, @pallid stump it's hard to say. If there was forethought to the writing, there's a possibility they're related, but you have to remember that the Artemis Path was written back when Atlas Rises released, which has been a bit ago.
Damn, it was that long ago?
Albeit they have made revisions over time, so maybe you're referring to something revised that I've not seen
I mean Atlas Rises still feels like yesterday to me, but uhhh yeah guess so
I think it was the message at her grave that says it, but I could be wrong.
I know her warning pops up around that time.
I was also thinking of some of the early scrambled messages you receive
There's a number of don't trust the system style messages floating about the game, after all π
Easier term for ambiguous gender is them than going over him/her/itself each time btw
But hmm, I honestly can't recall that specific instance offhand
Found a video of the mission from when it was originally released to a year later, doesn't appear to have been revised.
So, as I said at first, if there was forethought enough to tie into the current events...Maybe, but this is one of those gray areas in the story stuff.
Sorta like who left the logs in abandoned buildings
I would say the traitor is linked to the Abyss because that's what Ariadne was trying to go after early on but the Abyss is "not what it seems" so I'm not sure
There's also the mysterious freighter that they encountered & escaped from or something?
Yeah
ohuh, hrrm
well i just realized i spoiled some stuff but it looks like i kept it here so not too concerned with that
for a moment i thought i'd spoiled it in another channel tho π€
I'd see the reason for concern then
Y'know, given that the returned Ariadne is the one mentioning a mysterious ship...Can we even really trust that account? π€
unreliable narrator
Just finished the mission. ||My boi Tethys π ||
what was the story for this mission? I forgot
||Tethys is fucking dead. Murdered by fake Ariadne||
oh yes
oh yeah @idle jay it was ||that friend of Tethys who they were trying to contact but never worked||
||There is evidence that a Multi-Tool was fired upon the fallen friend of Tethys, their analysis never completed.||
Oh guess I misread lol
Fact of the matter though is that ||fake Ariadne killed the person and real Ariadne is most certainly dead||
yeah
quite an interesting turn of events
wondering if it'll lead into season 3 or will instead be a new sidquest sort of deal in the next update
I hope its the latter but the former would be more likely
We shall see soon enough. Only one left after this
π€
whatever it is please be more compelling than flavor text + fetch crap
make the story and gameplay mesh
and not just in some timegate/grindy crap
there are various aspects of the game that clearly indicate they can script stuff, when they want to
If it's the latter then it depends on what kind of content comes in the update
what gets me about these missions is that, since so much of the game is already fetching stuff, it just feels like so much of the same
It's a shame
i dont know to be honest it was the first time i was hyped when i finished this weekend mission
fucking dropped this bomb and be like im fucking hyped for what coming
On a completely different note, I'm finally in galaxy 43!
Definitely something this month
sand worms, screenshot gallery, abyss
You guys were right, this weekend mission is bullshit
lol
Beautiful planet, bullshit fetching
I had a bug that completed the mission without any interaction
Lucky
missed the last bit of dialog cuz of that
Oh
later i'll be going through my farms and see if there's at least one of them that has got felines
they should still be on my discoveries list.. should be
Make sure you have both the feeder and the automated harvester to build (and all of the components)
will do
Otherwise it's a lot of waiting for the berry sacs to fill up
i'm patient, but will definitely use the feeder+harvester to get 90 of the things
I thought I was too...but I just went and bought the harvester π
haha
Mostly that is due to the fact that this planet is absolutely full of predators too
Nah
Dude had to gather 90 leopard fruit
||Ariadne|| just cut his suffering short, truly an angel.
Nice
Yes God bless Ariadne
I wish they ended my suffering.
I just realized I didn't draw a thumb but 4 normal fingers. Nice. More coffee
Hell yes hand variety
yes big middle finger to ariadne, wish i could do that in vr
||Tethys should get a hug tbh. I'm sure he is very much upset at what happened||
yeah i feel bad for tethys
I'm thinking so yeah
but does anyone tell Tethys 
I'm assuming yes and we wouldn't end up seeing their reaction until next week
imagine if he went "what friend? oh I contacted them already, they're fine"
Thereβs a PS5 event next Wednesday. I wonder what are the chances HG will announce something NMS related, to be possibly released a week after
Wasn't Beyond the last update that actually got an annoucement?
iirc everything after that just got maybe a trailer a day in advance
Synthesis was the last
they announced the name a few days before it came out iirc
Yeah, they talked about Synthesis in a development update a few weeks before the release
also when did HG ever do any NMS related stuff for events
besides the xbox thing?
NEXT
tho i guess maybe that doesn't count as an event in the same sense
Next was announced at an event?
showed up at Inside Xbox to talk about it
ah ok
Iβm speculating but given we only have one Community Mission left, I think chances are good something will get announced shortly before or after that and that PS5 event iust seems convenient
would be quite interesting if it pans out like so
For sure 
Hello, can anyone tell me what is needed for this weekend's event please?
leopard fruit, 90
very excited for the next weekend mission. its gonna drop a bomb
So literally none of this is real and Iβm a simulated entity, right?
there is no clear evidence of reality beyond the simulation, so for all intents & purposes it is real @latent bronze
It is true on some level that something must be simulating what we're navigating, but there is no indication that the simulator is itself not simulated.
or you can ignore the story like I do and be whatever you want
hm, i'm disappointed ||ariadne|| had nothing to say after this weeks mission
A guy just murders someone and everyone remains chill for an entire week
completely realistic scenario
Meet the spy
Would be nice if some of the other NPCs had written dialogue each weekend pertaining to the mission
PROCEDURAL DIALOGUE FOR TRAVELLERSSSS
Ariadne with the candlestick in the hangar bay
Would be nice if the npcs moved to different spots or had different dialogue depending on the last weekend mission
Idk
just have ||ariadne||'s head on a spike by the nexus
Once you're at the galactic core, how do you get to another galaxy?
And what is different about other galaxies
You get the "Priest of Nal" title for finishing the Vy'keen origin story, right?
@regal merlin You automatically get warped when you reach the Center.
Most galaxies have a different biome distribution from Euclid, falling into four categories:
β’ More lush/temperate planets
β’ More extreme weather planets
β’ More dead/glitch/exotic planets
β’ Euclid-like biome distribution
Once you're at the galactic core, how do you get to another galaxy?
@regal merlin once you're at the gateway system (the last reachable system indicated by the galactic core destination in the galaxy map), and Artemis path has already been completed once in this save, you'd have to warp into the galactic core itself. see https://discordapp.com/channels/146101654981312513/471868642204712971/674236737098219526
Final weekend mission next week? π
Hype
What sort of food pellets do the fauna eat? Going in to the Leopard Fruit mission. Tnx
@sand karma Final?
@spice gorge of this season
Yeah, I meant of the season π
I'm not near done with it but the story in this game seems really good so far
The artemis line anyway, I haven't done much of the atlas one
I'm a little confused here. Are Travelers immortal? I found a crashed freighter where the captain killed a Traveler multiple times out of curiosity (before being presumably shot down for it) and they kept coming back, yet Traveler graves exist.
@pallid stump I dunno, but it might - regardless - be a poke at how player death works.
@pallid stump I think itβs different iterations of the same entity
Actually... that's how the game words it when you die.
You respawn as the next iteration of you.
So it might be that, for every grave you pillage, there's another iteration of that individual somewhere in the galaxy.
Imagine how many graves that freighter was carrying.
The final entries from the graves themselves lend a lot of credit to this theory ^ https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/conversations-with-travellers-spoilers-ahoy/3273/2
"You are not the only you."
Ever since halfway through Artemis path ||i had the strangest "13th floor" feeling... Wasn't disappointed.||
I think Hello Games loved the movie π
That explains some of the terminals in abandoned buildings referring to you as a "returning user".
The iteration of you who used that terminal probably died so long ago that you simply don't remember anymore.
Boundary Failure, the terminal will give you some lore
I used it, but didn't get any clear info.
But thx.
That thing is so big (I'm standing on the antenna).
So i got all the Atlas seed blueprints, i think, and it still told me to go to another station, and it just has this pedastal with nothing to interact with
I didn't have the Atlas Path quest active when I did the last station, if it matters, maybe it didn't recognize that i'm done?
Oh wait I get it, I need all the seeds around the outside
You also need a Heart of the Sun, right?
Yep.
You get all Drives?
Because you need to collect Green and Blue Suns ores - Indium and E-something.
Emeril.
Emeril.
Yeah.
So you can get it?
I didn't reset.
I need to prepare.
I think I will choose one of them, and then tp back to my base.
At least I will try.
Ah. I went to Calypso, I thought of the choices available, the extreme one would be the most interesting, plus I needed the milestone.
I think it will be interesting, but also hard. Can you try to Tp to your old base for me?
Can't, relative is on the console ATM. All I can tell you is to pack a lot of Sodium Nitrate, you'll need it.
So you can't Teleport back?
You can, actually. If your base in Euclid and you get to another galaxy, you can TP back and forth.
I'm in Eissentam ATM, but I can teleport back to Calypso if i want to try the freighter dungeons there.
finally deleted the voicemail, eh?
Not sure if I made the right choice, but I'm sticking with it.
finally deleted the voicemail, eh?
@crisp fern Better than keeping it on loop for all eternity.
p. much, and pretty goofy to keep it looping in a sub-system, lol

Foil moment
I saw some people speculating about an Abyss update for Halloween. I could see that. π
sounds weird to me to redo an update they already did as a main focus
Abysserer
sounds weird to me to redo an update they already did as a main focus
@mighty rampart Not the under water stuff, but more like going into the actual Abyss as in going out of the reach of the Atlas
oh like that
Just theories of course, but with the stuff we've seen in the weekend mission lore, I wouldn't rule out something for Halloween π
@wide stirrup equip a multi-tool you don't use and get a cheap starship to reach the core - traveling galaxies breaks ALL the tech in your inventory slots for ship, mt and exosuit.
Stock up on repair kits for the suit.
oh jesus haha, what's the benefit of doing it?
Different galaxies have different procgen bases, I guess you could call it
some are normal (Euclid), while others are lush with more life and species, others are barren and have better terrain features and more weird planets
There's no real end goal... just keep traveling, Traveler.
Can you visit them all?
oh ok cool
first time resetting via Atlas path you can pick your galaxy type - after that you just travel to the next in sequence
255 official galaxies, 1 semi-secret and 1 nobody can get to
Once there am I able to use teleporters like normal or is it kind of like the portal interference thing
yeah, teleports between galaxies are easy
they even will tell you which galaxy the teleport is in
If there's one no one can get to how do you know about it? Is it some datamined secret?
yeah
and the game has changed a lot
256th used to be accessible, and still can be reached with help is my understanding
The unreachable is just the simulation we live in
257th was always just in the data
okay, gotta start heading to work - check the wiki for the whole list of galaxies and progression through them
ok thanks!
Or ask Sormac for a lift π
Should I revive Artemis?
sure
Doesn't make a difference, does it?
As much as any other video game story. No functional difference though.
Good too know.
I just want to know whether the Artemis translator will still function after you put her into the simulation?
believe so
It does yeah
also artemis has no gender, none of the aliens do (except for the fauna with funny descriptions)
dead aliens can't complain :V
rofl
interesting mindset
anyway thank you for the answer, so off she goes into the simulation π
I ||snuffed them out like a candle||
everything has its time and place
no more, no less
I put them in the simulation cause I hope someone would do the same for me.
have you checked the simulation recently?
I'd take continued exploration over not if that was my choice of options.
I'd mod the simulation to have Groundhog Day available to watch.
If you switch galaxies, you can always go back.
Nice.
@severe grove Yes please
Starting to think that it's impossible to get the target ship to change when it's the first ship.
Itβs not overly complicated. But itβs possible to farm different locations as theyβre consistent to the system
So far I've consistently gotten the exact same one 7 times over.
You can use a coordexchange if you wanted to pinpoint to exact one, or just try random systems
So hereβs what to do:
Upon exiting the portal after collecting the souls for the soul chamber, back to the planet you portaled from make a manual save before entering your ship. Now, once you go into your ship, youβll get the broadcast for a fallen host. Disable this! Because it will prolong the quest. Now, you can use portal coords or use a teleporter to go to different systems.
And when you enter your ship again, it will give you that broadcast again, targeting the next closest ship
Right, so. Two problems with that, because this is pretty much what I've already been doing.
- I can not disable the broadcast. I enter the ship, it gives me the talky part, then I have a choice to use the egg or to disable communications. No matter the option (I've even moved my egg to my freighter inventory) it make the quest advance. I have no way of using my ship while that quest is active (without advancing it).
- I've avoided the step of getting into the ship, and just immediately went to the portal, and when doing that I consistently get the same egg location over and over.
If either of these two problems weren't happening, I could think of a solution, like buying every crashed ship in the system until it targets the right one. Or just keep doing the same thing over.
So I have no clue what to do. Β―_(γ)_/Β―
When you select disable communications, it still gives you the marker for the ship in your system?
Yeppers
Even if I don't have the egg. Which allows me to keep the egg, which is pretty nifty.
This might or might not have something to do with the fact that I already once reset the quest.
Let me actually make the 2 minute trek to the other planet, just to make super sure that it's the same ship every time.
Hmm..so you have a save before entering your ship and getting the first broadcast?
Yep.
The ship design is consistent to the system. So if youβre seeing the same one, chances are itβs only that one youβll get there.
I've got it through a coordinate exchange, and I've gone to the exact coordinates to verify there's a crashed ship there.
Which interestingly was an S class shuttle, but that's besides the point.
So youβre on a planet that youβve purposefully went to for a specific living ship, but its not spawning?
Correct
Does the egg always take you to a different planet?
As in, a planet that's not the one you're standing on?
Very interesting. Whatβs different about it? Design, slots, stats.
It takes you to any crash site if I recall correctly. Because every crash sight has a living ship variant within it.
Sorry, different about what?
The ship youβre finding vs. The one in the coordexchange that you came for
I've probably been unclear. The ship I've verified existing was just me making sure there's a crashed ship that the living should could possibly spawn at. It was not in fact a living ship, just a shuttle.
As for every other crash site, they simply weren't the ship I wanted, nor looked anything like it.
Okay so it DOES bring me to different crashed ship. That all happen to be on the same planet, 2 minutes away from me each time.
So I guess I just have to keep trying? Haven't had a single marker on the planet I teleported into, which would be where the ship I want is.
Mmk. Apparently thereβs a bug that will spawn a regular ship after every 6-7 reroll.
If that happens on the site youβre trying to get. Exit your ship. Then reload that auto save and it should be a living ship
That's not what I'm referring to?
Otherwise, yes. You might just have to play the rng
That was in response to the site you verified that had a shuttle
Honestly, every single living ship I've found so far has been a normal ship until I went through with the whole "putting all organs in" until it was done, then decline the normal ship, after that it becomes a living ship.
And turns into a LS after??
Yep
I walk up to it, it "acts" as a living ship, giving the story related stuff, I put everything in. After that I can claim the crashed ship, and upon declining it the living ship pops into existence.
It's a feature
Sounds like an old bug they never fixed with them...
I seem to remember reading about issues like this around when Living Ship released
Try reloading the auto save after landing beside the living ship in disguise.
Sure
yeah they actually did try to fix it but its still around
My ship did that and I thought it had bugged out and I wasted my time, so I reset my entire setup and that fixed it for me
at least the other more horrible one has been fixed
where the damaged machinery becomes the ship and it bricks your game
Iβve been lucky πΆ
Yep, the autosave makes it the right ship right away.
Mind you, I wasn't bothered by the bug, I know exactly which ship I need and where it is.
I'm more bothered by the other two bugs, lol
Is there another way to get an autosave other than stepping out of your ship?
where the damaged machinery becomes the ship and it bricks your game
@mighty rampart but i want to fly the damaged machinery pods
Claiming a base autosaves
Congratulations @severe grove, You've reached level 30!
Other than..I think story objectives.. π
It's still consistently sending me to the same planet. It seems to be cycling the ships that are crashed there.
wait what
Sometimes the scan system is the worst
when did the bot start announcing that
Yeah itβll do that. It should send you anywhere after disabling the communications though..
Only for me, sohail π
congratulations @severe grove
big shot huh
Ty @nocturne zephyr
yw
Wellp, I'm not sure what to do anymore. Only thing I can think of is use my backup, just get a random living ship, then dish out 10k nanites and maybe it'll have a different effect in this system
Did you say the one you want was on a different planet
send feedback/bug report to HG in hopes they notice
@teal dust Is there a way to reset the mission to another system in order to claim a different ship? I thought that was a thing you could do
The one I want is on the planet the portal is at, and it keeps giving me ships on a different planet.
And yes Tyndall, that's what I've been doing (I think), and currently I'm in the right system, but it's not giving me the right crashed ship.
Oh, well no clue in that case. I don't have a living ship myself
Does your platform match the patform of the submitter?
I've verified the crashed ship exists. I know where it's at, it just never spawns the living ship there. I can only presume that makes the platform insignificant, as from what I've read, living ships can spawn as any crashed ship.
That used to be the case... there's some RNG involved in living ship selection now
Can anyone here verify that a living ship can spawn on the same planet one is at?
It's not guaranteed that you'll get a living ship of a specific type, only that it'll be possible
I'm fine with RNG, but so far it seems to have only selected 1 planet (out of 4), and the one I want is the planet I start out on. And seeing the quest is bugged (I can't decline, it'll spawn the living ship anyway), I can't try starting it on another planet.
Found a note. I think the planet it picks within the system is rng.
So you might be boned
β it would be better to hunt ship finds from low planet count systems.β
No clue
Hah
π
I think youβd have to reload from before the final portal trek
Iβd assume it picks the planet at that point
Thankfully it'll put me there again upon resetting
Best of luck.. sorry its not as simple as itβs supposed to be π
I don't mind working around bugs and whatnot, but... it is indeed getting a bit lengthy. x)
If that doesnβt work..might have to try on your second egg?
Yeah, I'll pop in the save that didn't have that system discovered yet, just in case.
Hey, resetting the quest again fixed the bug that would continue the quest even when disconnecting
Nope, nevermind, I lied. It just didn't pop the mission thingy
And either I lost a 1 in 4 gamble, or it's still the same planet. RIP
I swear I'll buy and scrap each and every one of those ships if this doesn't work, haha
So I somehow managed to get multiple copies of eggs throughout following the questline. Two of which are the Cracking egg, and another being an awakened egg. Are these now useless, or can I still use them for upgrades/finding ships?
useless
Damn. :V
I've kept mine just in case though
Best of luck.. sorry its not as simple as itβs supposed to be π
@severe grove tbh i don't think they intended for anyone to be able to pick their living ship, hence all the hoops to jump through to try to game it
I mean, if it wasn't for the legion of bugs I had to deal with... :V
well some of those i think are because you're trying to get a specific one over whatever it's trying to give you, if i've understood things correctly
@nocturne zephyr Then what is that?
@radiant elk is this referring to the earlier 'fins' comment?
NOW THROW IT IN THE WATER!
has anyone else noticed these faint markings before on the pyramid 'decorative' part?
they can only be seen at certain angles
here's the lower half
Is anyone familiar with datamining for nms? Particularly how to get part textures?
@languid wolf in the #nms-modding channel, if you check the pins, there's an invite to the No Man's Sky Modding server. That would be a better wealth of info for stuff like that, at least in a way that won't get drowned out among other messages like in here
Was the story supposed to be so god damn depressing?
I think so
Why'd they have to foul my man artemis so hard
Literally every turn in the story just made me feel worse, wtf
No Mans Sky: Cold and Alone Edition
I'm playing that version!
Forget about screaming. No one can hear you cry in the vacuum of space
Question Time: Re: Living ships, where does one look to get upgrades for them??
turns out there are not any upgrades, apparently the parts need to be nurtured
what is this?
@plain wing I'm sure asking about this in #nms-questions is just fine. But here's some info:
To upgrade your Biological Ship: Head into space. Engage pulse engine.
An anomaly will signal in. Some of these encounters will give you upgrades. Not every space encounter will give you upgrades.

no π±
wonder if they do on Wednesday
Final weekend for what?
Oh
I hope the universe explodes when we feed the abyss
we're appeasing the abyss...
or we don't
?
i think we're boosting it instead
we have been deceived like fools
Whatβs the abyss? I didnβt play this game for like a year and now Iβm just so confused about the lore
That's the mystery
Ooh mystery
it's said is the counterpart of the Atlas
Maybe the Atlas is Sean Murray the game programer, and The Abyss is Sean Murray the game journalist.
π€¦ββοΈ
Lmao
uuhHhHhh
Everything well and done, but how are you contacting Artemis?
Just finished one of my last remaining current games contracts. Going to have a bit of a break over next fortnight (with some proofreading mixed in this week) then on to New Things π§
Maybe weekend mission season 3?

That wouldn't really be new things I'd think
he's got a lot o' stuff goin on, prolly not nms related. could be, but small chance
ahh...
his book is called 16 horses
and it's driving NMS fans crazy
he also said "one of" not "the last"
instead of 16 reindeer
Dumb thought: What if Atlas was open source?
Then it wouldn't be broken
The story is about how all proprietary software are doomed to meet the same fate
Of getting messy and corrupt which is why we should be relying on open source software more
- Richard Stallman
lol
"New Things" is probably either something not HG, or HG's new game. i doubt HG will want to continue paying for bespoke narrative content for too much longer if they are transitioning most of their dev efforts to their new project
did someone shared the this weekend mission or I am going to share it
It's on the wiki
Did Hesperus return yet? i haven't been able to get on today
Any updates on travellers in the nexus?
Wow. Def news to me. π± From what I read in Hesperus' dialogue, in the Assistant for NMS app (Weekend Mission).
soooo...yeah...Hesperus is back...but everyone else but Ariadne is gone! π±
the plot thickens
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
but why
My guess is that since ||Ariadne was the killer|| they are all leaving to stay safe. Hesperus idk. He either doesnβt know and thinks everyone is hiding to throw him a surprise birthday party or he is ||also a fake||
Last bit
But by everyone else but Ariadne and Hesperus Iβm guessing Nada, Polo, Helios, the people in the blueprint section are all still there
Same. They never leave
They were ||fakes all along π||. Or they were being party poopers and not participating in Hesperusβs birthday surprise
the tea is hot right now
I actually spoiled myself on the ending but forgot it so I'm excited to get the conclusion
||i just finished the Artimis missions. They where so sad!!||
is the black message a spoiler on the ending?
if it is then im not gonna look lol
Itβs kinda a spoiler. If you havenβt finished the Artemis story missions then donβt click my message
i did finish the artemis story, just thought it was a spoiler on the weekend mission season ending
Nope not a spoiler on that
yeah it was very sad
For a game that failed to deliver so many things since its release somehow has a very good story
That's subjective
Yup
Yeah the story was really nicez the artemis one at least
Atlas one is more barebones but it has a cool minimal sci fi feel to it, in terms of the interactions
the awe of the Atlas in VR leaves me speechless
All praise the Atlas
NMS sale on PS4
nice
UH OH, O_o
Stinky
quit fartin around then
Murdered just chills there like nothing happened
the plot thickens
ok guys
what if this missions
are just the story of Waking Titan?
i mean
we're just playing now what got in the past in form of ARG
Hesperus and co. could be the Dreamers
and we're now just watching the moment the've been awaken from the simulation
everyone's gone
someone died (killed?)... some of the Dreamers died too

So you're suggesting we've been playing during that part of the ARG?
yep
could this guy be The Abyss?
https://wiki.gamedetectives.net/index.php?title=Waking_Titan/Phase_5/Dreamers/231187661T
Main Page > List of Investigations > Waking Titan > Phase 5 > Dreamers > 231187661T

The Abyss being a corrupted traveller?
They did say the Abyss wasn't what we thought so you never know
fits very well
every weekend mission describes some kind of corruption at event site
awaken / died
could be that guy 231187661T
Telamon?
see that "T" at the end? π
Telamon, according to the lore, is losing his mind over time
and we all know, at some point and forced by Atlas, Telamon becomes our exosuit AI
and from latest weekend events, the AI from anomaly guys suits are doing stranger things...
so
Telamon -> Abyss
So that corrupted traveller is Telamon?
yes
And then it's also a sub-protocol of the Atlas?
Was the transfer meant to turn them from a sub-protocol into a traveller? Or is that them supposed to be awakening but failed?
