Has Sean ever given the story of why 16 was picked as the countdown?
uncut harness
He probably just pulled the number 16 out of the ether. Devs often do that. Maybe it's his birthday or something. Or some other contrived thing.
Like, Douglas Adams picked 42 as the answer to life, the universe and everything simply because he thought the number "sounded funny".
But fans have always wondered about some deep spiritual meaning.
@tight siren Also, 16 is a binary-based number and:
"The number of planets in a galaxy (18,446,744,073,709,551,616) is equal to 16^16."
Probably where he got it from. (2x2x2x2)
tight siren
I was expecting something much more along the Douglas Adams line.
graceful canyon
16 is my birthday so we have to assume Sean Murray did it for me.
uncut harness
Of course, that makes perfect sense
graceful canyon
He and I understand eachother
uncut harness
You should sue for royalties though. This is clearly an infringement on your sovereignty as a person.
graceful canyon
No I would never do that to Sean.
There is a secret endgame mission where it reveals that all along I was in charge of the universe.
graceful canyon
i understand the lore to a certain extent but is there any explanation offered for the lack of capital worlds?
chilly drift
Wish we could get this big knowledge stone
strong bluff
@tight siren Because Atlas has 16 minutes to die. But idk if Sean picked it randomly or not. š¤
chilly drift
I crave to get more buildings variation
get vyken, gek or korvax outpost
not only sentinels type
strong bluff
Problem is that NPCs donĀ“t attack you.
You even canĀ“t attack them with multitool
And even if you do, they arenĀ“t hit.
chilly drift
they could add later dungeons on foot, which could be a big nest for biological horror of the size of the new buildings
strong bluff
ThatĀ“s one thing which I am missing.
Also consenquences for having bad relations with factions.
Like them randomly attacking you on foot/in space, refusing to offer you their services, etc.
chilly drift
@strong bluff Not even for attacking, the outpost where there is already an NPC
strong bluff
Yep.
And itĀ“s BS especially with Vykeen.
In lore they are at war with Sentinels.
Yet they have buildings guarded by them. š¤¦āāļø
chilly drift
Or maybe they are corrupt š¤
strong bluff
I doubt about it- you can encounter corrupt sentinels when you are breaking salvages on planets which have them.
They are drones which start shooting at you, you can destroy them and it doesnĀ“t increase your wanted level.
chilly drift
could be fun to have a korvax outpost in a Gek system, saying they can't get away from the planet and try to hide from the geks
strong bluff
Faction battles.
chilly drift
oh yea
strong bluff
One promised feature (in space though) which wasnĀ“t yet implemented.
That would be nice though.
chilly drift
Factions dont mean a lot
strong bluff
Or expand mission system - by doing missions for one faction, other faction might not like that.
Or I like how in another game, The Elder SCrolls 2 Daggerfall it worked - you might start one quest for an faction.
Later another faction would contact you and ask you to do something for them instead.
chilly drift
Recently we got the mission to discover an entire system for the exploration guild
strong bluff
And by your choice you could influence result of the quest.
chilly drift
could be fun to get more missions like this that would affect your grade on the guild
strong bluff
In fact, you can attack space station and when it sends sentinel fleet on you, you can still land in it.
Interesting is that you canĀ“t land on freighter if you attack it.
chilly drift
Like for the Mercenary guild, you have to destroy specific sentinel outpost on each system, ...
I hope they revamp all that
Maybe add the possibility to create our own guild, managing roles and permission for each member, claim a planet as the property of the guild, ...
strong bluff
There were already player factions on official website, forgot its name.
And we already can sort of do it with Freighter fleets.
But it would be nice.
Also conquering uncharted Star systems.
chilly drift
It's not something added in the game, it's just done by players
strong bluff
Either for us or for an faction.
chilly drift
we'll see if they do it, either way can't wait for next update
strong bluff
Same. Though it will probably take some time.
Before they will release something bigger.
hasty flame
Hey all, Iām at 2/16 for Artemis, if I reset and go to Eissentam will it prevent me from doing the Atlas quest?

Funny is I got opposite - I finished Atlas path before ending Artemis storyline and in next Galaxy I got Atlas path quests again.

rocky moat
I'm at the end of the purge. And im not sure what to do. Reset or refuse
prime inlet
basically, none of the choices are game defining. if you choose to reset, you will be given 4 choices, 1 for each galaxy type (norm, empty, lush and harsh), and you will reset the sim into one of those. no progress is lost, at all (this used to be the fastest way to reach, for example, Eissentam). if you refuse, it doesn't really matter either, it's very easy to switch galaxies these days, so even if you did want to do so later, you could still do it.
rocky moat
OK thank you very much

pallid stump
I should finish the Atlas Path before Artemis, right?
Also, I feel like a moron for only recently realizing that ||those little orbs in the Atlas stations teach you its language||.
prime inlet
@pallid stump the perfect timing to complete the atlas path is right after you've started The Purge mssion from the Artemis path.
The purge requires 16 warps to any system
and there's 10 atlas stations
the purge can be progressed even when it's not the active mission
twin crag
Eh, I finished the Atlas questline, crafted the star seed, am now in Eissentam, but the quest from Atlas is still there, found a new Atlas station and now I have to interact with those 9 Atlas stations again to birth a new star?

@pallid stump I made the same mistake on one playthrough. I stepped through to orbs on the main platform and learnt words, stepped through a few on the floor and didn't. As it turned out the default planet is the system was a dead world so running around was burning oxygen, so Igave up touching more orbs as a futile endevor and never bothered again, thinking like yourself that they were just decorative

Guys, I've already finished the game once,|| I didn't reset the universe , but then Polo, Nada, everyone got sad knowing that one day the universe will die.|| And now that I've made a new save I want to know: ||What's better? Restarting the Universe or not? And which are the differences?||
solemn violet
I donāt think it matters tbh
warm gorge
I mean
prime inlet
gameplay wise, it doesn't really matter.
prime inlet
the only difference is that if you chose to reset, you'd get a chance at taking 1 shortcut, out of 4 possible ones, to travel to other galaxies (and in the lore, to reset the simulation into one of the 4 existing galaxy types)
that hasn't been a disadvantage for a while now
warm gorge
So it would just teleport me into a new Galaxy?
Could I visit the last one I was?
Like
I finished the game in Euclid
I choose to reset
prime inlet
ever since you can simply join someone in another galaxy, make a base there, go back to your game, and teleport to the new base, and being able to come back to any galaxy you have a base on.
warm gorge
I go to Eissetam
prime inlet
but yes
warm gorge
Can I go back to Euclid?
uncut harness
Whoo boy. Questions:
I just heard I have to be in Euclid to get a living ship. Is it still possible to do this after The Purge by using portal in anomaly to get back to a base I have in Euclid?
prime inlet
all you needed to make sure was that you still had a base in euclid, reset to whatever galaxy, make a base there, save, and use a teleporter to go back to euclid base.
warm gorge
Ohhh ok
So this time I will reset
Because everyone got depressed when I didn't reset
And I already got the Title for not reseting
uncut harness
Ok, what bk just said confirms I can get back to Euclid simply enough. The question that remains then is, are things that have to be done in Euclid (like living ship) locked out by completing the Purge reset?
warm gorge
Which is ||Timeless|| if I remember corretly
prime inlet
big difference between reseting or core warping, and joining someone's game/teleporting: resetting/core warping will damage anything installed in the general/main inventories of your gear, except your freighter.
warm gorge
ok
uncut harness
Just need to repair though, right? Like at the very beginning with your damaged ship?
prime inlet
@uncut harness no, you can finish the purge before even starting starbirth; there's a single part in starbirth that requires the player to be in euclid (the portal phase), everything else can be done in any galaxy, and then you'd just teleport back to euclid to portal to the right euclid system.
and yes, only thing required would be to repair your mods and techs that were damaged
there's a few ways to mitigate that
like equipping both a trash multitool, and a (perhaps) trash ship
after spawning in the new galaxy, simply switch to your good MT, and summon your good ship, and fly away.
you can also ofc fix your things without having to rush, in the safety of your ship.
exosuit is harder to mitigate
because tech slots aren't enough for everything
what i do is i move my critical systems to the exosuit tech tab
like life support
uncut harness
@prime inlet tyvm!

rancid ether
Yeah. I can share some screens i took the other day wheen i get home
uncut harness
So it seems that now with the Origins update, there's no point traveling to the centre with your ship. Since the portal restrictions are lifted all you need is an address to a planet close to the center of the galaxy and that address will work for every galaxy (ie spawning you at an equivalent distance to the center for the current galaxy) š¤
prime inlet
well.. yes.
there's no point unless the player makes it their point
even with portal interference, the player could simply join someone's game that had a base near a galactic core, in any galaxy, and make a base there, being able to teleport to it once back in "single player".
or use the anomaly warp calibration exit method.
heady fable
the journey is more important than the destination :V

and fwiw, core to core jumping is still faster than portaling to an address near a core+warping a core

oh, i wasn't trying to make any real point, just saying, that even if black holes don't send you to a direction you can choose, but send you in straight lines; ships on the other hand, can't travel in a straight line, because they follow the "hyperlanes", but allow you to choose where you go, at the expense of fuel.

I just returned to the Scientist with his core, replaced the core but nothing happens. How do I finish that quest?

@tough thistle afaik, there's a cooldown before the quest continues, after reinserting the core back in
wind bramble
So, I've done the artemis quest at least four times that I recall, and no matter whether I choose to tell him about the sim or not, at some point the storyline treats me as if I've told him about the simulation. Is this a known bug?
tough thistle
@prime inlet there was, thanks. The cooldown doesn't show up in log. Just noticed it bottom right on screen. Not the clearest part of the quest journey š
prime inlet
@wind bramble you can only do the main storylines once per save
there's no point doing it again, either of them

Of course once per save
You can't do it again on a save

@indigo smelt btw these are not new to Origins, since no one mentioned that

Huh.
tall flint
Yea, the increase in variance I've only really seen a wild change in Lush planets so far. Almost all my Arctics are flatlands with minimal water. Only bioluminscent planet I've found so far has super frequent storms, so I can't enjoy the planet too much between A. Indium cycles.

i've seen a lot of variety in radioactive, toxic, and badlands biomes
basically everything except snow planets

I got a snow planet with Rattle Spine plants, but yeah otherwise most of the variety in snow planets is in the minerals, which is disappointing

yeah they basically set snow planets back to Atlas Rises era, which is better than nothing, but snow planets were worn out even then
uneven current
I wish snow planets could have bioluminescent plants
crisp fern
Frozen planets can occasionally have the giant rock pillars from some of the weird planets, but that's the only drastic change I've observed on them thus far...Beyond maybe occasionally appearing with the new terrain
glass flare
could snow textures always appear sort of as procedural splotches on rocks/cliffs? i don't visit them much so wasn't sure if that was new
indigo smelt
Snow planets just don't look that different.
Interesting archive log:
I see shell upon shell collapse across the universe, the flow of a river of souls filling each dormant vessel, red orbs ever blinking in their wake.
I see a trillion Korvax bowing before a spherical mass, living, biological ships orbiting the sentient world. I see it go to sleep, encased in metal as the long centuries pass.
I see it all wiped out, in a war of light and greed.```A lot of this is a retelling of the Korvax story.
But something stood out, something is encased in metal.
real sapphire
Ehm which galaxy type is the best to find lush worlds now?
real sapphire
Idk, i read gamepedia and seems like the chance of finding certain planet on each galaxy has changed
indigo smelt
The seed may have changed a little bit?
real sapphire
indigo smelt
So what is encased in metal? Korvax Prime? Living ships? Atlas?
glass flare
well it read to me that the "it" is the Atlas, and it sounds like it is telling the death of Atlas, "encased in metal" aka the actual hardware the simulation runs on. just a guess
indigo smelt
Well, this story takes place in the past.
And we have been resetting the atlas canonically many many times.
lean quiver
@gusty mountain sorry, only just now noticed your ping. You actually find lots of artefacts during the tutorials, so not sure.
glass flare
well it could be a sub-Atlas, like the box on the Anomaly that runs the simulation where Artemis is. but yeah it could also be the Korvax homeworld, who knows
the way the Korvax were all bowing towards it made me think it was something to do with Atlas though
indigo smelt
It doesn't say it's a simulation.
But other logs do, like a certain Gek Fantasy one.
There is a log saying exactly how Atlas will supposedly die, well up to a certain point. Not even Atlas can look beyond it's death.
Rogue Data:
It witnesses its own self, the black hole ripping apart its world, its core systems almost destroyed.```Interesting, one archive log mentions using water of the abyss on Gek spawning pools. What could possibly go wrong?
glass flare
i'm going to just find the archive logs naturally, a lot more fun than reading a datamine
indigo smelt
Not a datamine in the usual sense. I just copied from the game.
glass flare
gotcha
idle jay
Just throwing this out there but wasn't it also mentioned in the lore that the Korvax used their blood on Gek spawning pools as well? Turning them from the feared warriors to traders like they are now
indigo smelt
It's even more grim than that. I remember a log saying how some Korvax jumped into the pools, sacrificing themselves.
cloud epoch
i like the no tree snow planets, found a few no tree lush as well
indigo smelt
Do forest snow planets still exist?
cloud epoch
for sure
indigo smelt
I thought Origins removed the trees from snow planets?
idle jay
Could this mean that the blood of the Korvax is the very same as 'the water'?
cloud epoch
trees
idle jay
The water is in relation to the Abyss
indigo smelt
No, that doesn't make sense.
"The water" corrupts Korvax to the point where Korvax entities willingly choose to disconnect from the convergence.
It corrupts everything it touches, to the point these entities go against the atlas.
There is a universe where the sentinels wiped out all life and even went to war with each other.
This universe had even other Korvax corrupted.
The Korvax say that "The Water" is "Atlas-End", that's a recent archive log.
glass flare
yeah i saw that log recently, i don't know if it was meant to be the same water though
indigo smelt
There is a song coming from that water. Songs are connected to the Abyss.
idle jay
It's been a while since I've read up on the lore š¤·āāļø
Also haven't read the new logs yet lol
indigo smelt
Songs and the abyss aren't new. You were there when we uncovered it.
glass flare
eventually we find out the true nature of the Abyss, we open a data log, and a video of Sean singing Fleetwood Mac's Dreams starts playing. it was something the Atlas's simulation didn't predict. unfathomable. absurd. and it drove the Atlas insane
indigo smelt
Lame.

Korvax log for āechoesā
The archive has been changed, distorted from its original purpose as a place of peace. The entries here hum with a distant corruption. Prior empire had the logic. Remove Korvax identity through alteration of metallic appearance to anonymous flesh. Flesh generated by appearance modification device. Machine, just like Korvax. Xnt-Echo first to override system. Initiated change to First Spawn appearance. Mimicked their ways. Slew, devoured fellow Korvax in the waves of Halacan. Even now, we learn the new logic. Even a cruel world could be understood. Even hate can be manipulated. We will not lose ourselves again.

Im a bit confused Im on the last purge step at the same time as atlas step?
do those both last steps coincide with each other?
slender idol
atlas path requires you visit 10 (iirc) atlas stations. thats a bit of warping.
16 warps are needed for The Purge
if you do them together you save 10-16 warps you would otherwise have to do again.
slender idol
if you dont go through it/one the mission glitches.
rancid ether
atlas path requires you visit 10 (iirc) atlas stations. thats a bit of warping.
@slender idol just a reminder, Atlas path requires the milestones to be achieved, so it can be a pita to speed through that part. Happened to me yesterday
slender idol
another reason to do it when you get to The Purge. You probably have the milestones by then
rancid ether
I didnt lol
Am on the purge too lol
Had to go find a bunch of knowledge stones to boost it haha
valid sphinx
So, does the atlas path just loop with black hole objectives after you get all the BPs?
prime inlet
the objective of the atlas path is to gather seeds, and then go to the 11th atlas station, and do things (no need to go into details), and maybe get another blueprint.
the atlas path "go through black hole" mission isn't actually an objective of the atlas path, so if you've completed the atlas path, there's no need at all to do missions from it. this particular one triggers usually when there's a black hole system very close by, but for example a atlas path mission objective like "gather atlas seeds" can pop up again after atlas path completion, simply by warping into a system with an atlas station. again, these can be safely ignored.
@valid sphinx ^
in fact
"going through a black hole" isn't a requirement for any of the quests
you can run every quest to completion and not need a single black hole warp
waxen estuary
Black holes are a crapshoot anyways

mobile has some workaround that I dont remember right now
@mighty rampart rename the file you want to upload to "SPOILER_filename.filetype"
mighty rampart
interesting
little otter
@mighty rampart @rotund grotto rename your file on mobile with the prefix "SPOILER_" without the quotations
That will cause the image to be automatically spoilered hidden on mobile when uploading
Idk why you cant do it via discord upload is weird for mobile
Oh no they used the word beyond
HG will have to file a lawsuit now

So to get the 16 glyphs.. u just roam around the station looking for the traveler who give u coorinate to a new glyph..? And when u got all 16.. what will that take you?
prime inlet
simply complete the storyline
you will have learned all glyphs after completing a mission called the purge
hasty cape
ye I think it gives you 1 per system jump
prime inlet
way faster and less time consuming - finding traveller graves isn't guaranteed
correct, 16 warps in any direction, 16 glyphs

People always be saying which character be going through the worst pain but theyāre always forgetting about
heady fable
they are literally living in a game, how bad can it be :V
the comms is still working if they feel like to chat

Artemis :PepeHands:
heady fable
they have a whole solar system, that's much more than most people could ask for :V
gusty stream
Well think about this:
Artemis, like us is a Traveler, whole purpose is to travel across vast distances in the galaxy
There's only so much to explore in one NMS Solar System
heady fable
well between dead and that one solar system, there isn't much choice anyway :V
most dead people don't get a solar system to explore

So
The Gek enslaved the Korvax for money or something, then the Korvas bled their nanites into the soon to be born Gek making them docile
interesting, what did the Vy'keen do during that time? I forgot. THey were just talking about Hisk or something
heady fable
I assume the vykeen's been at war with them
warm gorge
they are literally living in a game, how bad can it be :V
depends on the ending
On my save file I let Artemis die
It's better to free their soul than living or a world of lies
At least they can trully rest like that

I figured this would be the better place to ask... I've done the atlas path, and before I quit playing for a while I had finished the whole reset the universe quest but had chickened out and stayed in Elucid. I hate having quests in my log, if I make the centre journey and plunge thru, will it freakin clear it out š
Also I read you can come back to Elucid after, T/F?
And is there any more 'core story' to do now? I've done all the base guys quests & the nautilon stuff.

@left dome One method is to do Atlas Path first, then Artemis Path. Atlas Path ends with giving you an item. Then you do Artemis Path and follow it until the final part called The Purge.
^ For @turbid frost too, somewhat
turbid frost
I just finished Atlas Path couple days ago, now that I've returned
uncut harness
The core story is over after you've completed both Atlas and Artemis paths
turbid frost
I've got the 'new beginnings' quest sitting there now
uncut harness
Not sure about entering new galaxies though, But I imagine that you might be able to enter an Atlas interface and pick a galaxy.
left dome
Wait so u cant do artemis then atlas?
uncut harness
I heard that some players have travel throughout all the galaxies and ended up back in Euclid.
turbid frost
Just by core plunging I'd guess?
(lol here I am spelling the main galaxy wrong too š )
uncut harness
@left dome No, you can. But just saying that Atlas first makes sense cause it's just an item anyways, if you pick "Birth a Star" (which you should). Then you just do the rest.
turbid frost
I did read that the atlas interfaces don't talk to you anymore after refusing to reset & finishing seeds
uncut harness
Hmm, weird. I only speak from what I've been told though, so idk.
left dome
So what "is" atlas
turbid frost
but there's so much conflicting info between reddit, wiki, and all the patch changes/fixes along the way
left dome
i aint touched quests in my 40 plus hours lmfao
turbid frost
Atlas 'is' š
left dome
Never been to The Anomaly Before now lmao
uncut harness
Atlas is The Architect from The Matrix lol
turbid frost
same concept, not literally
turbid frost
The whole multiverse is a simulation and it's the CPU/RAM/AI
uncut harness
InB4 they name Matrix 4 with subtitle "Architect Rises"
turbid frost
I guess multiverse is a stretch, it's only multiple galaxies
uncut harness
The funny thing about the Simulation Hypothesis (which this game is obviously based on) is that, even if everything is a Simulation, it doesn't matter. Cause whatever is, is.
turbid frost
indeed
