I should run another save in hard mode, make different choices and remember the story I did a year + ago 😂
uncut harness
The name Atlas is probably not a coincidence either. From Wiki:
"In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan condemned to hold up the celestial heavens for eternity after the Titanomachy."
(Titanomachy is basically Ragnarok, iirc)
left dome
Hm so damnnn
turbid frost
that makes sense
left dome
You gotta go to new galaxy tho?
turbid frost
you don't have to
turbid frost
the choice is to reset him on the spot or stay put and se how long he lasts
left dome
So is it like Hard wipe of all units and nanites ect?
turbid frost
'reset' just means end up in galaxy type you pick but can get back somehow
uncut harness
Bases are still there. Only problem when you enter another galaxy is that space stations will fall off the teleport list if you got too many space stations listed (but I guess that's true even within Euclid?)
left dome
Ah damn
what about base warps?
couldnt you in theory warp back to elucid if they still active?
or?
turbid frost
yea. if can just base warp between galaxies I'm really regretting not resetting it 😂
left dome
idk if u can
turbid frost
that's one of my questions up there too
left dome
im curious af bout it now
cause i got 40+ hours and barely touched quests or the Anomaly till now lol
uncut harness
All I know is from what I read. You need to use the Space Anomaly teleporter to visit previous Galaxy
turbid frost
well, go do the artemis path, reset Atlas, and report back 😛

Just been playing with friends getting rich and others giving gifts when i meet em so just rich looking for ships and exploring with my friends so far
turbid frost
ahh k
I'ma stop heading for the centre for now and do some farming/upgrading, considering there's no new story waiting for me in another galaxy or somethin. Maybe do another playthru like i said sometime soon
prime inlet
All I know is from what I read. You need to use the Space Anomaly teleporter to visit previous Galaxy
@uncut harness you can use a space station teleporter as well, i've done so multiple times to teleport to bases across the universe
@left dome , @turbid frost ^
left dome
Ohhhhh wow nice
Well shit i wish u could have seperate ships in seperate galaxys tho
would be cool
Like bring one over but have more slots in new galaxy
and having others when u go back
prime inlet
Only problem when you enter another galaxy is that space stations will fall off the teleport list
this was unintended behaviour, if still happening in the current build it should be reported as a bug;
space stations will fall off the teleport list if you got too many space stations listed (but I guess that's true even within Euclid?)
this is correct and expected behaviour
@uncut harness ^
prime inlet
yes, it is 🙂
left dome
Ooo whats a good way to get stuff like that
turbid frost
that's awesome, noted. LOL I was just reading up on exosuit upgrades, I swear they've tried to make this game as confusing as possible LOL
I just kinda slapped stuff on as I went before, now I'm reading I've like 'locked classes' n stuff. Idk 😂 not exactly this channels material tho
bold crest
could someone fill me up... the 16 portal glyphs.. when u get them, what happens then? You put them in the stargate-portal I guess? And then what? What will that portal take you?
left dome
Planets have glyph cods @bold crest
Basically you can travel super well and players can share coords with em ect

bold crest
Ooooh so only that then?
ok cool, but so u need all 16 then
then you have them forever?
heady wyvern
@bold crest You only need the ones included in the destination's coordinate sequence
bold crest
ye but if I have all 16 I always have them?
prime inlet
yes
in fact, there's a set order in which glyphs are unlocked
so theoretically, you could travel to certain locations while still missing some, but not all

This is not my photo. Credit goes to stryker99 on the Atlas-65 forum. Anyone else seen this? Apparently it was found flying in-game.
It was labeled as "EXperemental fighter" and seemed like it was a bug to him. Notice the light trail is blue. Wonder if someone can dig through the game files and see if they can find it.

looks like the ye olde ships from e3 trailer
i believe this has popped up before a few times

It’s clearly still in the game files or something because Redmas has enabled it too in Fantasy but only as a nonfunctional shipwreck type
This model also looks a little beefed up from the low res version

Do you automatically go to the center of the galaxy by resetting it?

Well there's an achievement for reaching it on survival and PD, so was wondering
Seems like a "complete the main story"
cloud epoch
mmmm pretty sure that counts for those
from wiki
[spoilery stuff] now counts as reaching the centre of the galaxy for the purposes of triggering Take a Deep Breath and To Live Forever
Formerly, only conventional travel to the centre would trigger these trophies/achievements
prime inlet
even if it were still the case, portal interference is gone, it would be a lot easier to reach the core
cloud epoch
oh right lol, find one traveller on station, get glyph, input all that glyph, get 3k ly from center
could prolly do it under 2 hrs, 3 tops
i mean i got to core the hard way in 7

from fresh start or just the warping part?
prime inlet
just the warping part yeah

nanite refining was easier back when i did it but now i'd just buy pug and sell X class even faster so that'd cut down the time to get S hyperdrive modules

were they regular black holes or hyper black holes?

@uncut harness you know... I have no idea. I didn't pay that much attention, I just flew into it. Will pay better attention next time for sure!
wait
hyper black holes take you closer anyway
err
it should've taken you closer
both times I did it, it said I'd traveled 1.2 million lightyears and when I opened the map, I was still some 680k away, just on the other side :/
were you close to the center whenever you did that

ah
you haven't even started it fully yet
that's why
nope, 680+k away

well akheteru
it sounds like it's moving you closer to the core
just from a different angle
About to go to one right now and see if I get a different result. I'm wondering if maybe just the first one in a galaxy yeets you, 'cause it did it once on outer rim of Euclid and once on outer rim of Eissentam. Will also look at if it's a regular or a hyper before I go through (will it be obvious to tell or.. what am I looking for?)
hyper should also bring you closer
mmkk
I'll report back shortly, likely to say I'd somehow derped previously lol
the distance travelled is kind of inaccurate
i believe it is actually how far you travelled but not how far away you were from your original destination
your travel distance could theoretically be infinite
however, that does not mean you are an infinite amount of lightyears away from your original position
eternal pulsar
Is this an ok place to ask for help? I’m decently far in the game. Actually just finished Atlas Path. But here’s thing thing ... I’ve never revived an atlas pass? Everything I can see says that Polo gives it to you but I’m working on the mind arc to give to Artemis and well I still don’t have it haha. Wondering if something went wrong or I just haven’t come across it yet?

you craft the atlas pass
you get the blueprint for all versions in manufacturing facilities

you get the v1 from polo in the milestone quest

Hm. Yeah I still don’t have the v1 one
I suppose I’ll look more into it and interact with polo some more
sharp lion
does anyone know if you can do the thing at the end of atlas path where you choose a new galaxy a 2nd time? if so it doesnt seem to be working for me
dont want to travel to the center 5 more times
raw pecan
@sharp lion if you mean the end of the artemis questline where you select a galaxy color, no, you can only do that once, every galaxy shift after has to be getting to the center
or use the anomaly to teleport to someone's base in another galaxy
raw pecan
yeah
sharp lion
time to go to the center like 6 more time to get to the galaxy i want
raw pecan
I picked "Normal" before I knew the long-term consequences of doing so, oops
sharp lion
i did the worst one i think
raw pecan
thankfully it's very, very easy to roll over galaxies if you know the trick to it, just a bit of a headache
(and eating repairs if you've already got 3 multitools)
sharp lion
oh is there a trick other than black holes
raw pecan
yeah, technically probably an exploit/bug that abuses the existence of the anomaly
sharp lion
im intrigued
raw pecan
It's pretty straightforward--
- Throw down a base as close to the center of Euclid as you can (which you can do pretty easy by hopping in a portal using the sun-over-water glyph 12 times, gets you about 5kly away), then
- Throw down a base in the galaxy you want to be at the center of (say, Hilbert)
- Go to the Euclid base, summon the anomaly
- Use the anomaly teleporter to go to your Hilbert base
- Immediately use "return to Anomaly", jump in your ship and exit the anomaly normally
- You'll still be in Hilbert, but extremely close to the center
then you can just rinse and repeat as many times as you want until you get to where you want to be
sharp lion
might just find a portal glyph that goes to a good galaxy at that point
raw pecan
unfortunately portal glyphs only work in their own galaxy, you can't use them to galaxy-hop
raw pecan
there's no point that tracks galaxy in them, so using the same portal glyph in different galaxies will lead to different places
jovial stag
unfortunately portal glyphs only work in their own galaxy, you can't use them to galaxy-hop
@raw pecan You kind of can though, now that Portal Interference is a thing of the past, if you have the Portal address for a system close to the core in 1 galaxy that same address will work in any galaxy to get you to a system close to the core, such as these 2
raw pecan
granted, but that's just an artifact of how the portal coordinates are set up-- the first several bytes refer to "general X/Y/Z galaxy location" so they'll always send you to the same general location relative to the core no matter what galaxy you're in, and the atlas "best guess" thing will take over from there
if your goal is to get from euclid to hilbert with a portal, though, that won't work
sharp lion
k well i found a different method, apparently if you go through a black hole you will always spawn near the center of the next galaxy

stiff grail
I think something is wrong with my game. I'm trying to do the Patterns in Time - Uncover the Past portion of the Artemis Path. The quest objective is telling me to Speak to a Vy'keen Cartographer by located a Vy'keen System on my Galaxy Map. I did just that, but after talking to several different Vy'keen Cartographers, all they do is their normal actions to purchase or exchange maps, and Asking for Help from them does nothing as my Quest Objective keeps telling me to talk to a Vy'keen Cartographer. I'm now stuck and don't know what to do to continue.
raw pecan
You need to go to the specific cartographer the game directs you to, unfortunately
it'll pick a system on your galaxy map and that's the one you'll have to go with
make sure it's your active quest and then check the map, there should be a "Current Quest" waypoint
uncut harness
Whoa. I just randomly found a Traveler grave and a piece of backstory that shouldn't surprise me, but does

@lucid geyser ||have you seen what the Korvax did to the Gek yet?||

is that why the first spawn died out
fair bone
no idea i just know the korvax arent immortal anymore
prime inlet
the first spawn destroyed the korvax homeworld, and killed billions of korvax. in the gek spawning pools, korvax sacrificed themselves to rewrite the genetic code of the first spawn, creating the trade focused gek we have today, which eventually led to the demise of the first spawn empire

re: the Korvax rewriting the Gek's "code", that was obviously something that was against everything Atlas was trying to do, which was to model conflict scenarios. what the Korvax did was the equivalent of Captain Kirk's Kobayashi Maru hack

Is it possible to restart part of the Starbirth questline? I just matured the Hardened Shell, and the Egg gave me Coordinates and I followed them, and they led me to nothing. There's a Boundary Failure here, but nothing around it is interactable. I feel like something messed up and I'm stuck.
raw pecan
that part of the quest leads you to one of the giant rings, if you're not seeing it you may want to try reloading
but if you were expecting another monolith, that's not what you're looking for 😛
stiff grail
That's what a Boundary Failure is, a giant ring. There's nothing here though.
The egg isn't changing or doing anything else.
raw pecan
there's a terminal on one of the ends, use it
the normal text is overridden, just like the monoliths
stiff grail
Did these always have Terminals on them? Even the wiki pages say the rings are useless.
raw pecan
I don't know about "always", but long enough that someone had pastebinned the 30ish text logs you get from them by the time I got to them so certainly prior to origins
which wiki are you using?
stiff grail
The gamepedia version. As I was reading it said " They currently have no gameplay purpose besides the lore terminals." so I assumed that meant I was missing something.
stiff grail
While I'm here I may as well ask if I really do need all the Portal Glyphs to finish Starbirth. It's gonna take me forever to hunt down all the Traveller graves.
raw pecan
checking
I think you only need the first 12
but if you continue the artemis questline you'll get them for free eventually
stiff grail
Stuck between a rock and a hard place then. The long Artemis quest or the long hunt for Traveller Graves. 😄
raw pecan
I feel like there'd be value in putting together a "quick glyph" guide
find travellers in or near bases that have portal coordinates accessible with N-1 glyphs
stiff grail
Travellers appearing in bases are random. Not sure about the Graves.
I've checked a few systems before, then returned to my home system and found one that wasn't there before.
raw pecan
completely random? I thought they were at least tied to system
given that I've gone back to ones I haven't talked to later
raw pecan
Hn
stiff grail
Even the Gamepedia says they randomly appear in some locations.
raw pecan
eh, people use "randomly" to mean different things
stiff grail
Yeah.
raw pecan
the planets in the game are generated randomly but that doesn't mean they're not static/consistent once that generation happens
I've got a traveller in my first base so I can pretty easily check if it's there for someone else
stiff grail
Another weird occurence with this Starbirth mission. Usually when I construct the item they want me to make, I have to return to where i got the Blueprint. This time it's sending me somewhere else instead.
raw pecan
odd
stiff grail
This quest has been nothing but odd. I've even had the game skip one of the 24 hour wait timers for no reason.
raw pecan
I extremely wish that was reproducable
stiff grail
So I think I know what happened.
When I first started this part of the quest, the Egg took me to a planet and Coordinates, and nothing was there. No ring. Nothing. Instead, it gave me even more Coordinates on a planet two systems away from me. The Egg is now asking me to return to those first Coordinates it gave me.
raw pecan
yeah, confirmed: travellers may be "random" but they're static
the same one I came across at spawn is still there for another player, and pointed them to a glyph to boot
so you could, feasilby, come up with a glyph route, as long as they found their first one normally
stiff grail
So having a few people working together checking systems and trading posts could make it faster.
raw pecan
yeah just having people say "I came across a traveller in this system" for awhile would probably give you enough coordinates to put together a glyph-route
stiff grail
Is it worth doing the Artemis questline to get them, other then the idea of going to a new Universe?
raw pecan
depends on how you feel about making use of other people's coordinates
if you're wanting to do/find everything solo then eh
if you want to make use of the stuff people post to the coordinate exchange then absolutely
stiff grail
Can I even get to most of those Coordinates though without making use of a Portal?
raw pecan
it would be a pain in the butt at the minimum, which is why having the glyphs and using portals is key
even if you know where exactly in the galaxy something is, finding the system on the galaxy map is still a massive hassle
stiff grail
Well, I'll try a mix of both for now. I'll just do the Artemis quest and keep my eye out for Travellers. See which one finishes first. I'm in no rush to get them all. I just really want my Living Ship.
stiff grail
I assume you mean by using someone who has all the Glyphs to teleport across to the address my Eggs give me, and then use Multiplayer to bring me that location?
raw pecan
effectively, yes-- the egg address is static
(as you'll find out, when you get to the system and see 30,000 established bases)
stiff grail
Yeah. A guide for Starbirth mentioned that it would be laggy as all hell.
raw pecan
so it's not even a "they have to use your egg's coordinates" so much as "they sit in the system and you anomaly out to them"
yeah I turned off multiplayer once I was in system and it was still less than optimal
I had a fun thing where I was running to a quest marker and someone's unfinished base spawned around me, trapping me inside and forcing a reload
stiff grail
That sounds much easier to do then finding all the Glyphs. I should have a friend who can help me do it.
I've been playing since launch, so this would be the first time I've got to a planet and fallen through the world and back into space because of bad loading. 😄
I've even fallen off a Space Station and laded on a nearby Asteroid. That was a fun time.
pallid stump
I looked it up and I'm apparently not far from finishing the Atlas Path (I've gotten up to State Phasure). Thus, I should be able to finish it before The Purge boots me to another galaxy.
Yay!

Am I right in thinking that null confessed to us that he killed Artemis and other travellers to claim their souls in order to become real. Because he knew it was all a simulation??
verbal sierra
Anyone?
uncut harness
idk about Artemis and others specifically, but null definitely has blood on his hands. I took his confessions to mean he'd basically bullied his way across the cosmos on his mission to see everything, destroying and murdering as needed, betraying whomever he needed to betray, etc. Certainly a valid read to infer that he'd screwed over other travelers, maybe even putting Artemis in the predicament you find her in
May even have reset the simulation himself, maybe even more than once
rancid ether
Definitely not my theory but interesting nonetheless
uncut harness
wait artemis is a girl
rancid ether
Artemis is nongendered

From what I see and understand the atlas pissed at null cuz he killed other travellers.
rancid ether
They/them pronouns.
rancid ether
all of the iterations are they/them
although, Artemis was also the name of a greek goddess so....wouldnt be out of reason to have mistakenly assumed female
uncut harness
That is a thing I noticed in the game, they never use he/him she/her for anyone that I can recall. idk why I sort of mentally assigned femininity to Artemis; maybe the damsel in distress tone of her story arc, but it's 100% a mental contrivance on my part and not even intentional tbh
verbal sierra
Anyone else think null killed Artemis?
uncut harness
I didn't get that read, no. Why did you?
rancid ether
i...have some theories about what null has done, but nothing specifically relating to artemis
rancid ether
My theory is that Artemis, Apollo, and Null are all analogs of common people who played the game during the 2016 launch.
verbal sierra
Just the way null was talking about killing others and I think they said they felt bad for what they did to Artemis
uncut harness
Artemis lost in the sauce, Apollo understanding what was going on but being frustrated that they couldn't meet with You despite being in the same place... where's null fit in there @rancid ether ?
rancid ether
Artemis is the player who was lost and had no idea where to go with no direction and ultimately gave up trying to survive in a survival setting.
Apollo is the 2 players who tried find each other in MP but couldnt see each other at all, despite being in the exact same place.
Null is the player who searched for the 256th galaxy only to find that it was just a random generation each time and became wholly disatisfied with the generation of the worlds
uncut harness
that about works
how do you get to the 256th galaxy anyway?
Is it even possible?
rancid ether
I think Null is blaming themself for resetting of the universe back in Next(? i forgot)
That was another one of the complain-train issues back in 2016
uncut harness
They reset the universe, as in all players' bases and stuff went poof?
rancid ether
yeah, thats my theory on it at least. idk
Also, i believe Null once had a name but it was stricken from them when the 256th galaxy was removed
uncut harness
makes sense
just looked it up, 256th galaxy is currently impossible to get to unless you join someone there
kinda want to find someone who is there and join them

Alien cartographic data has a chance to find a portal right?
@verbal sierra yeah but what you wanna do I think is find a plaque and use that to find a monolith and use that to find a portal, I think that's how it goes yes?
rancid ether
i usually just find a monolith with the alien cartographic data
then talk to the monolith twice
uncut harness
tbh I just randomly stumbled across a portal pretty early on and set up a no-frills base next to it that I could teleport to whenever I want to use a portal for something
verbal sierra
And the monolith reveals a portal?
rancid ether
yes, but you have to offer it a relic in exchaange for the location
the relic of the system race
verbal sierra
Okay
wind urchin
I am in Odyalutai
verbal sierra
And what exactly does it say to find a portal
uncut harness
"Locate a portal"
verbal sierra
Ty
wind urchin
Which is galaxy 256
uncut harness
Just remember to talk to the monolith a second time. First time it has a little thing happen
Which is galaxy 256
@wind urchin The last galaxy, currently unable to get too unless you find someone whos already there
wind urchin
16 x 16 = 256
uncut harness
If I joined you on multiplayer, could I then set up a base and be able to teleport into 256 at will, or is that not how it works?
wind urchin
That is exactly how it works
uncut harness
And is it red/green/blue/teal?
wind urchin
Got there on a VERY lucky glitch about a month ago
uncut harness
As attractive as the idea is to be able to get somewhere that's difficult to reach and impossible to reach alone... I almost feel like I shouldn't, in a weird way
rancid ether
im surprised its named
wind urchin
Dunno. Never checked
uncut harness
says it's magenta in color... is that different from the reds then?
wind urchin
Yeah and it’s name isn’t jacked up on teleporters like the other galaxies
uncut harness
lol Euclid is called Hirelucco on my teleporter menu for some reason whenever I'm in Eissentam
rancid ether
fuck, thats super annoying too
wind urchin
Went from Euclid to O, then Hilbert.
uncut harness
I thought my save was corrupted or something, I was like "but I've never been to Hirelucco!?!?"
rancid ether
oh shit, i should probably hold off on jumping through Hilbert core then
verbal sierra
Anyone?
uncut harness
I've not encountered that one, Fishyburn
rancid ether
@verbal sierra i think youre supposed to smash it but not 100%
wind urchin
Give it metal I think. I’m 33% sure
verbal sierra
I need it to show me a portsl
uncut harness
it will, after
verbal sierra
So smash or give metal
rancid ether
both, smash with a hammer
verbal sierra
It doesn't always let me talk a 2nd time if it's pissed at me
uncut harness
you talk to it a second time and ask for portal location. this first one is the 'little thing' they all do
wind urchin
After waiting a bit
uncut harness
ooooh
verbal sierra
Ohhh okay
uncut harness
I didn't know they get pissy
verbal sierra
How long do I wait?
uncut harness
I need to go to the ER and have my back looked at tonight, but can I hit you up some time about getting to 256, @wind urchin ?
rancid ether
idk, i usually just ask right away
uncut harness
I'm assuming you're on normal?
verbal sierra
Survival
uncut harness
I meant kmac, sorry :p
verbal sierra
It won't let me talk to it again right away
wind urchin
@uncut harness Fo sho. It’s a nice place. And I am right next to the core.
uncut harness
@wind urchin Normal mode?
verbal sierra
What do I do pls
rancid ether
did you smash?
verbal sierra
It won't let me talk to the monolith again
verbal sierra
I gave metal
wind urchin
@uncut harness 👍
wind urchin
@little otter Known issue
uncut harness
Apparently the teleporter menu is jacked up lol
little otter
Ic lol
rancid ether
just reload and choose smash. i gues theyre finnicky
verbal sierra
Fml
rancid ether
i dont usually say to reload, but it would probably reset after a system jump anyway
verbal sierra
It ain't letting me talk again to the monolith :(
rancid ether
I wasnt 100% on smash it, but i was like 90% on smash it.
Now im like, 95% on smash it for next time
rancid ether
it really depends on context btw, i have no idea what the monolith was saying, so it could have been totally wrong
yes, 100% sure, but Ive usually answered correctly since i learned they give a portal location
uncut harness
@wind urchin You're not playing right now, are you? Wife just notified me that what I was planning to do has to wait at least another hour
rancid ether
if you have an exocraft with the scanner upgrades, those also locate alien sites
wind urchin
@uncut harness Can get on game for a few
uncut harness
Only if it's no trouble!
wind urchin
All good
uncut harness
Cool, hmu when you're ready

||The gek used to basically use the korvax as slaves, and the korvax where like "Im done with this shit" so they basically changed gek dna so they would be more focused on trading then conquest||

Does lush galaxy now have fewer lush world that it was after origin?
stiff grail
So I'm about the reach the end of the Artemis questline, and I'm wondering if there are any negative side effects to Resetting the Simulation? I know I can return to Euclid from the Anomaly, but do I need to consider anything else? Like my Space Station Teleporter list being messed up or anything else?
raw pecan
I think the massive gear damage still happens when you swap galaxies via the artemis questline, so bear that in mind, but apart from that not really ||apart from the kind of depressing one that Nada and Polo don't recognize you and never really have any dialogue with you after that point 😦 ||
stiff grail
I figured by this point there was no new dialogue anyway.
raw pecan
probably not, still made me a little sad
stiff grail
I don't think it would be too sad. As long as they are still there.
Not like Artemis.
raw pecan
a nada and polo are there, but you hit the reset switch and (canonically, at least) killed the universe containing everyone you knew, met, and interacted with, so is it really still them, is the thing
(the fact that you can bring your freighter out and warp back to it at any time is a bit of, uh, tonal dissonance, there, but)
plot holes in favor of gameplay and all that
stiff grail
I think it's still them. This is just the beginning of another meeting. If I were able to follow the same steps, I expect it would go down the same path. But it doesn't alter what and how I knew of Polo and Nada. They're still alive, even if they aren't familiar with me. I still remember. That's all the matters. The question is whether Artemis is alive now, or if his death removed him from the entire simulator forever.
raw pecan
there's some more plot to find after the reset, is all I'll say
stiff grail
Do I need to seek it out or does it just happen?
raw pecan
it's a bit of seeking, not a ton, if you've been exploring around and finding things you didn't have access to yet
it does require finishing up both the artemis and atlas questlines, though
but compared to artemis, atlas is pretty straightforward
stiff grail
I think I may stop here for tonight before finishing The Purge. I don't want me jumping to a new Galaxy to mess up my Living Ship questline.
And at least if I get my Living Ship, I won't have too many modules to break travelling to a new Galaxy. 😄
uncut harness
I think the massive gear damage still happens when you swap galaxies via the artemis questline, so bear that in mind, but apart from that not really ||apart from the kind of depressing one that Nada and Polo don't recognize you and never really have any dialogue with you after that point 😦 ||
@raw pecan that *was * kind of a bittersweet conclusion for them. ||No no! I vaguely sense that something wonderful and terrible has happened, but I don't want to know, Traveler-friend!"|| Like... well. Okay, then.
raw pecan
I mean, understandable
uncut harness
Aye
I was hoping that they ||were far enough outside of normal spacetime to be able to share in that victory, though||
raw pecan
Same, although ||knowing the truth of everything was def. stressing nada out enough that not knowing probably really is a blessing||
uncut harness
lol true, he just about lost his whole entity-ness lmao
raw pecan
and I mean, ||literal definition of phyrric victory, all things considered||
uncut harness
Facts. The only real comfort just being that ||the Atlas has been going on about 16 minutes since forever so there's plenty of time to enjoy yourself until there's not||
raw pecan
||theoretically plenty of time, don't know for sure though 🤷 ||
uncut harness
||If they release an update with a new story mission where Atlas starts saying 15 // 15 // 15 // 15 I might lose my shit IRL||
Though I guess that's only psuedo-spoilerish lol

raw pecan
I mean I was spoiling because the other person involved with the chat was literally not at that point in the game yet, so lol
spoilers or not it'd be kind of rude to just drop spoilers on someone you know isn't there yet lol
pallid stump
|| that Nada and Polo don't recognize you and never really have any dialogue with you after that point 😦 ||
@raw pecan Fuck. That's depressing.
raw pecan
yeah after everything else in that quest it was like an extra bit of kick in the feels
pallid stump
I just had a thought. Your freighter and fleet can be summoned after the reset, right?
raw pecan
yeah
pallid stump
Therefore, they must still maintain their memories from before the reset.
raw pecan
(literally named my freighter "Relic of a Dead Galaxy" because of that thought, heh)
pallid stump
How must they feel knowing that their families are either dead or don't remember them anymore?
(I know it's probably a gameplay thing, but I felt like pondering it.)
raw pecan
it's uh, a bit of gameplay > lore thing, if you wanted to strictly argue it you could say they're all like the overseer where they were "set up" with you before you even showed up in the new galaxy because future you did some shenanigans
pallid stump
Good point.
raw pecan
you get on the ship and it's almost identical to the one you left behind but you realize you don't actually recognize anyone, and they just know you as "a traveller"
"at this time, at this place, a traveller will call for you, and you'll do what they say"
uncut harness
The freighter thing (as well as base staff) is kinda immersion-breaking, ngl
Like, how tf can the freighter just yeet itself to Eissentam with nothing but a bloody Indium drive (if you even have one installed), why is the crew still alive, why are my staff still alive, why do they all remember me but Nada and Polo, existing outside of space/time treated me like a new face, etc. I enjoy the convenience of it, but... wut
lol typed all that before I read what Ursine said
slender idol
over time the game has become more "player" friendly at the expense of adhereing strictly to its own lore.
I never played early version of the game, but it has been a long ride, where the game used to literally reset your character all the time. jumping galaxies was literally a fresh start. all your previous bases were deleted
uncut harness
:o
slender idol
I think in early versions you could only claim bases that already existed. and could only have one at a time. so as you moved through the game even in one galaxy you kept losing your old base
uncut harness
That's pretty brutal
slender idol
so yeah, you can argue the current situation is immersion breaking. but it nonetheless makes for a better, more playable enjoyable game
uncut harness
I'd never be able to produce SDs the way I am
Oh for sure, I DO enjoy the convenience
I was just... say, mildly disappointed that there wasn't some hoop to jump through to get my freighter back and/or regain access to Euclid
now my bio-dome farm is in Eissentam while the rest of my bases are still Euclid lol
wooden kite
Can someone show me what a decked out freighter tech looks like?
wooden kite
If anyone sees this tip... raid freighter thoroughly. Got a free s class pulse engine upgrade...
uncut harness
When you say decked out freighter tech, how do you mean?
wooden kite
Derelict upgrades
uncut harness
I'm still working on it, have gotten to the point where non-hyperdrive modules = nanites tbh
If the rules are the same as ships/suit, I can fit one more s-type hyperdrive module
wooden kite
So I'm guessing 3 is limit per type of frigate upgrade?
uncut harness
I'm assuming, but only based on how ships/suits work
they all share the white border for adjacency though, so I don't even know if they're stacking trade with trade or all with each other
wooden kite
I hope to find more information
heady gull
I think it’s actually that same model, but any of the others that have been broken like that I was able to land on, I’m guessing some kind of glitch or something
prime inlet
hmm yeah, you shouldn't be able to land on living ship update derelict freighters
sonic loom
all i heard was gumsk was browsing game files and saw somthing about pets
sonic loom
what exactly tho
hybrid pendant
they updated them recently
wind panther
Monkeyman found pets in Desolation. We found more stuff in Origins
wind panther
Turrets I just noticed a couple of days ago
hybrid pendant
problem is we dont know if they updated turrets in 3.03 or 3.0
upper badger
hybrid pendant
u were in experimental @wind panther ??
wind panther
And base upgrading I just saw yesterday, along with more pet and turret stuff
Yeah, I'm always in experimental
sonic loom
what did u find linkng to pets
wind panther
An inventory menu, summoning menu, and some other random things. Not active yet
wind panther
I might just not have noticed
sonic loom
any 3d models?
sonic loom
or anything hinting at what the pets might be
ocean wyvern
pets turrets 
wind panther
I think for both they will be using existing assets
hybrid pendant
that what it looks lik
wind panther
No idea. Could be stuff you get from qs vendor
sonic loom
i hope not
hybrid pendant
also base upgrades us aid
it made me thought of like
Base class
like C class base protection etc
sonic loom
i dont get that
wind panther
Yeah that could be. I really have no idea what they are planning with that. I only saw it in one place
hybrid pendant
i could see one thing but it would be crazy
wind panther
If you lookup AMUMSS on nexus mods then get the Explorer, you can browse through things easily
sonic loom
oh nice
hybrid pendant
the planet environement could damage ur base depending on what material u use
sonic loom
ew i dont like that
wind panther
That tool makes it much much easier to search and browse the classes
hybrid pendant
soo wood could be C class
but maybe u could buy upgrades for it to sunstain more damage from storms
soo it could add more a survival aspect because people thing the game is not survival enough
hybrid pendant
im just guessing and remember
wind panther
Yeah no likey
sonic loom
itd be a pain to fix up orbital builds
hybrid pendant
what we see is not 100M% sure to be in the game
sonic loom
yeah true
wind panther
I'm still expecting space building sometime, but it hasn't changed any recently, sadly
sonic loom
is ther any mod that allows that
wind panther
No, can't get around the limits
sonic loom
dam
hybrid pendant
i remember u saw something about gravity effect that might do something for space
sonic loom
they should add orbiting bases
hybrid pendant
but i bet that was for the terrain gravitational anomaly
sonic loom
they actually orbit the planet
wind panther
Yeah gravity was changed twice, Desolation and Origins I think
sonic loom
i know initially they had orbiting planets but it was too buggy so they made the sun orbit instead
prime inlet
i haven't yet either
wind panther
I heard it was that the playtesters didn't enjoy it
hybrid pendant
i wonder if the orbits mechanics are still in the files
probably not?
we would have found them by then
sonic loom
what is there to hate
hybrid pendant
its complicated to explain i would say
wind panther
Lo2k was playing with that recently. Cant remember what all the accomplished
hybrid pendant
like we said it got people lost
and its not because people were dumb
@wind panther about that base class i didnt remember what u said about it?
like upgrades u said?
wind panther
Yeah it was just a base upgrade reference and is mentioned once in the mission table. That's all I saw
Like it upgrades the whole base it seems
Not like upgrade mods
hybrid pendant
soo
wind panther
Hold on. I'll get my laptop and look it up
hybrid pendant
Like class?
only thing that goes to my mind when u said it upgrades the whole base
remember me when we upgrade ship class
wind panther
Give me a minute or two to find it again. Just got my laptop loaded up again
That's all I found so far
Oh, just found one I hadn't seen before: GcPetData
UniverseAddress is probably so the game can know what the procedural generation is without storing the model completely. And that means you get them from planets, not from quicksilver. Different sizes and the possibility of babies.
hybrid pendant
hmm
timid mist
I think someone had found this stuff pre origins
hybrid pendant
soo maybe it was updated with origins?
timid mist
I don't see anything new tbh
hybrid pendant
apart from turets and pets
wind panther
As I said above, monkeyman found some pet stuff in Desolation, but there is more, or at least stuff he didn't notice. I haven't seen anyone else mention it either
timid mist
No I mean in terms of pet stuff that all looks like things we knew about
Summoning and some semblance of inventory
wind panther
The turret stuff there's actually quite a bit and I don't want to post a bunch of screenshots. If you get the explorer, search for basedefence
@timid mist It's possible you're correct, but it would be the first time I've ever heard of someone showing any data mining of it
timid mist
Is this new stuff from what was there before?
And yeah no one ever showed images, just mentioned it
Monkey man I believe has talked about it in this channel
wind panther
The turret stuff is definitely new, as I compared it to old files to check. I wanted to make sure I wasn't misremembering the old turret stuff
hybrid pendant
its goood to compare old vs new
wind panther
Let me see if I can find the old UI files to see if the pet menu and inventory tab are new or old
wind panther
It looks like that was added in Desolation, but I'm having a hard time telling exactly when
Anyway, that's all the information I've seen. If you want me to search for something else later, let me know. I'm going to sleep soon, though 🙂
hybrid pendant
well if turrets were updated recently and is close to be finished maybe next month we can get them
upper badger
universeaddress is just galaxy number + your location in the galaxy
wind panther
In this context it's an address attached to your pet. Since the animals on planets are all procedural, it makes sense that the game needs to know where the animal came from so it knows how to generate it somewhere else
gusty stream
stiff grail
Damn. Finding this Traveller Grave using nothing but Coordinates that flucuate of a huge area is probably the worst part of the entire Starbirth questline.
cloud epoch
esp when u go to a positive coord instead of a negative. nope, never did that, nun unh...
stiff grail
I feel like I just got ripped off. I got to the location of the Fallen Host, and there was nothing there but a small single room player base.
rancid ether
If this is the same spot, i believe its inside the player base
stiff grail
It's a single room. It's way too small to be inside.
rancid ether
Well....ive seen a screenshot of it inside that single cuboid so.....
idk, might be worth a check
stiff grail
I just checked. Nothing but a Trade Terminal and a Teleporter.
rancid ether
Well, worth a check at least. Nothin on the visor?
stiff grail
Nothing out of the ordinary.
rancid ether
You've been to a traveller grave before? Only asking because some players havent seen one before and dont know what it looks like.
stiff grail
I went to all three. It told me to head to the Portal to go bac. As I was pulsing back there, I got a message from the Egg. So I accepted and it pointed me here, to a mission marker called Fallen Host.
rancid ether
Oh, derp, thought you were looking for the graves. sry
Could try warping out, turning off MP, then coming back.
stiff grail
Gonna just try restarting the game first. This is the same system where you find the Travellers, so stuff may not be loading properly here because of all the nearby player bases on this planet.
rancid ether
Wait, you didnt go back through the portal yet?
stiff grail
No. As I said, before I could get back to the Portal, the quest auto updated to the next step.
rancid ether
hmm, i had to return through the portal to get my ship, so idk, ymmv
stiff grail
This entire quest has been a roller coaster. I've even had the game skip one of the 24 hour timers for no reason.
dull storm
So based on my choices, Lush, Harsh, Empty and Normal, which will give me more blue stars? Normal? The chart I looked at seemed to indicate that it doesn't really matter but I am curious to if anyone has found otherwise
uncut harness
the only thing they really change is planets, idk about stars
dull storm
Lush planets tend to be in Yellow systems according to some reading so I figured it might make a difference if I am understanding it correctly
I do like base building but I am not very fond of Lush planets. I tend to go toward blue or planets with the rare materials like Indium
rancid ether
If youre not fond of lush, then dont choose lush.
The lush option will have increased chances of lush planets. Thats not exclusive to yellow star systems afaik.
If you want activated metals, then maybe harsh is the choice you want.
dull storm
Okay. Harsh may be for me. Thanks. Going for it.
stiff grail
Restarting seems to have fixed it.
pallid stump
Does the end of the Atlas Path not give you a choice which galaxy to head to?
uncut harness
At the end of the artemis quest, you get 4 galaxies to choose from iirc
thick hamlet
Does it matter what I do with Artemis in the mind-arc part?
I guess I'll just let them die

Honestly Idc about them so I did it so that they won't communicate with me in the future
story isn't reaally the greatest part of the game sooo.. 😛

Is there an easier way to get upgrades for my Living Ship, or do I really have to rely on random encounters in Space?

@stiff grail If I remember correctly, there are systems that spawn more upgrades than others
when Living Ship released, I went on the Coord Exchange
and someone gave a system that spawns A LOT of upgrades
I maxed out my living ship

Are there any lore explanation videos someone could point me to? I'd love if there were someone in this community doing videos like My Name is Byf does for the Destiny franchise.
I'm almost done (I think) with the Atlas storyline. I've just finished talking to Null about the crashed freighter and the multiverse, Atlas, and the sentinels. I've loving it so far, seems they're going for very high concept genre sci-fi with this story.

What is it with gate coords not showing up on screenshots of foto mode?
ocean wyvern
Iunno they show up on mine

if you hit the button to hide the UI instead of just waiting for it to disappear on it's own, it hides the gate coords too
indigo smelt
It hides even if you make it show the UI
indigo smelt
Don't worry, it's not dangerous to you.
upper badger
the atlas is coming after u
indigo smelt
So the atlas creates basically an infinite number of worlds, but sometimes atlas glitches out and things from another universe go to yours. Normally, the atlas prevents that, there is a boundary that seperates them.
The only thing that the number really means, is how close you are to a certain structure.
glass flare
yeah as far as I understood it, it is sub-simulations of the parent Atlas that are colliding. my speculation is this is because of increasing memory corruption of the hardware as it is bombarded by radioactivity from the black hole
tall plaza
I always wanted to know, what exactly is the Atlas? Is it a supercomputer in our world? A machine God?
rocky heath
Machine god
It simulates the universe
or as we know it
No Man's Sky
the lore of this game is fuckin wack
stray abyss
I like to think of it as the Atlas is our copy of the game. Our character is a creation in the game the Atlas (our game) simulates to explore it. Theres no other reason for it to exist.
Stupid but it helps put it into perspective

Is there any consequence from this choise to the story? Or is this end of this path.

Just interested, did you guys choose to release Artemis or let them live on in the simulation?

I did tell them the truth about their family. Was very sad.

Aye. I told 'em, too. Felt he deserved to know. Rough little side story, that was
rancid ether
Yeah, was definitely not expecting that reveal. Those missions all had interesting little side stories that kept me coming back for more. Also, 100% hell nah to the overseer though. Wtf is up with that dude? When the farmer starts whispering to you about it, i think i legit got some horror chills.

I thought it was funny when he finally goes "I feel safe here, I think Imma stay"
Oh, idk about yours but I assume it's the same - I don't remember how he looked at first 'cause I wasn't paying attention, but by the end of it, the farmer's definitely got some not-quite-right features about him
Lemme log in for a pic real quick

Yeah. I got bodysnatcher vibes from the Overseer reveal.
Maybe theyre both synthetigek? Ill have to do those missions again

Possible, but my Overseer looks normal
okay so here's my overseer
And here's my farmer - my man has radio antennas lol

After all that stuff played out I started looking at him more closely and he do be looking a little sus!

Oh those are selectable for geks tho.
My farmer just has the little bandana/hat thing.

Yeah, when Overseer tells you, "even if you were to hire another Overseer, they would already know you like I do." Or something like that, i was like...hol up wtf

Are travelers organic beings, or are they robots, like Korvax?

I think they're organic

I'm having a lot of issues locating the second part of my void egg mission. I can't seem to find the right coordinates, is there something I'm missing? Doesn't help that the coordinates are unstable.

Anyone know if the different colored "lava" still give heat damage or are they other hazards?
rancid ether
@lyric mortar if you're sure you're near the spot, start using your ship scanner. If that doesnt do anything, hop out of your ship and look around wtih your visor for any nearby structures.

The awkward moment where my farmer looks exactly like the overseer I accidentally replaced.
Makes the twist about him less surprising for me, honestly.

I like how after learning the horrible truth of the universe and taking part in universe resets,
My character just decided to become a cook
Apparently
I never messed with the nutrient processor before

@lyric mortar the first coordinate is -North or +South, the second number is -West or +East

I ended up finding it. The planet it was on really wanted me dead and it was a pain in the ass. Thank you though!

So far all the worlds I've seen have a seam at 0,0

"It was not truly murder, for each one of them was all the same, weren’t they? They stared at the Atlas. They knew they were all just data, ghosts caught within a machine. They thought, briefly, of the Traveller they had once been, yearning to see the entire cosmos, revelling in the joy of discovery. They stared at the mirror, and consumed the Arc."
Hi. In this Boundary Failure text, what does the creator means when they say "consumed the Arc."?
raw pecan
I read that as being a https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Mind_Arc
taking it in the context of the rest of the boundary text, I'm reading the "they" from boundary failures 21-30 as -null-, and the things they did to get into the state they ended up in
during the purge, -null- references the "terrible things" they did to get to where they were, only to end up ignored by atlas in the end in favor of the player's traveller, I initially thought that was "just" resetting galaxies over and over and "killing" everyone in them each time, but given that there's more than one quest involving "capturing traveller souls in an arc-like container" it may be a bit more soul-consuming than that
tender quartz
"They" means is there more than one creator or "Singular usage of they"
raw pecan
"They" as in "singular, gender-indeterminate they"
is anyone in this game at any point referenced to as "he" or "she"? I'm pretty sure they consistently use they for everyone
heady wyvern
Then again, we're dealing with creatures that are far from human. They possibly have a concept of gender that the English language isn't equipped to handle.
violet narwhal
Hirk is referred to as "he". Hmm, actually those instances may be oversights...
rancid ether
^Hirk and Nal are the only times I recall seeing gendered pronouns in the game and it almost felt like a writer missed a memo or something
raw pecan
yeah
violet narwhal
Traveller, know that my race were once more than just warriors; we were explorers, defenders of these worlds. Before the Sentinels, before Hirk and his great folly.
raw pecan
I admit that I assumed he/she for apollo and artemis because of their namesakes, but in hindsight I don't think that Nada ever referred to either of them as anything but "they"
violet narwhal
Right
The client seeks aggressive mediation in a dispute with a former colleague. The target has left the business to pursue legitimate freighter captaincy. The client, however, has a long memory. They cannot simply be swept into the past. They would see the new captain reminded of his previous commitments.
The client runs a freighter company, and one of their transports is under attack in local space. Usually they would write off the loss of a freighter against their insurance, but the captain of the ship is on his final mission before retirement. The death of such an experienced spacefarer would add significantly to their premiums, and as such they seek all hands to aid the defence of the vessel.
rancid ether
yeah, very strictly they/them for all of them. I was certain Apollo at least was "he" at some point but several more playthroughs proved me wrong
violet narwhal
Those are possibly mistakes that might eventually get fixed. They've changed such things before.
||```'Open the gate,' they commanded, stepping forward to the terminal.
Silence.
'Telamon,' they whispered, 'Telamon - help me activate his terminal. I need to get out - '```|| not sure where if anywhere that's used. But that maybe should be "this".
raw pecan
that's a boundary failure text
rancid ether
agreed on "this"
raw pecan
but yes
rancid ether
theres definitely a few typos in some of the game dialogue
raw pecan
lol, the gek customization options involve changing your "tatoo"
so yes

I do seem to recall a crashed frigate dialogue that's "letters to a loved one", I don't remember what they specifically used there
rancid ether
I only just encountered that one recently. Was trying to figure out if was supposed to imply someone specific
raw pecan
I want to say "Beloved"?
rancid ether
Have any of you encountered the random Korvax NPC at a space station that teaches Atlas words?
violet narwhal
I share the video with the Vy'keen High Command. They are outraged at the commander's behaviour, believing him to be dishonourable and cowardly.
rancid ether
no no, its definitely intended. Ive only encountered it once and it was like a week ago
it brought up 2-3 specific choices and the one i chose gave an Atlas word.
another option involved "16", but ive already completed both paths
hearty cypress
If you kill off enough of the Sentinels this thing spawns and tries to kill you. You can destroy the cannons but they respawn after a little.
raw pecan
yeah, unfortunately there's no interaction with them outside of disarming them
having one would be rad, blowing them up would be rad too
fair bone
@raw pecan U CAN HAVE ONE
raw pecan
you can have one, or you can have a regular capital freighter that's colored the same?
fair bone
its the model.....
raw pecan
right
I want a freighter piloted by a sentinel and crewed by robot dogs, lol
instead of the galaxy map in the center of the bridge, it's an atlas orb

I wish I could drive my freighter with my whole armada of ships into another groups of freighters to take their resources.

guys, I'm on the Purge quest
got the portal for the last bit
can I safely ignore it and come back to that system later
or will it despawn?
and force me to get to the centre manually?
glossy ice
You can come back later.
tender axle
awesome, thanks!
don't want to bother with that right now, but I do wanna get back to it later just to have another galaxy at my disposal
versed pivot
Weapons of mass destruction when?

custom planets when

@versed pivot. Ikr, like let us have actual fleets. These mini fleets of frigates and a huge freighter don't count

Discovered this abandoned yet functional observatory on a glitch planet.
elder mirage
im at the end of the artemis quest line. i have the 2 choices of reset or refuse. i looked up the outcomes so im just deciding now. I havent finished the atlas path quest yet though, think im one off. Should i just stay in eulucid or try somewhere new
also is there another way to go to other galaxies if you refuse to reset
cedar charm
@elder mirage you'll have to manually travel to the center, if you refuse to reset, but decide to go to other galaxies later. Artemis just gives you the option of skipping the actual travel to the centre. Atlas is unrelated and you can complete it after you reset / not reset, whichever way you decide it won't affect the atlas path.
or at least it shouldn't.
elder mirage
ah okay thanks
cedar charm
All galaxies have atlas stations so you can continue the atlas path wherever.
cedar charm
you can also use multiplayer / nexus / other peoples bases / etc to go to other galaxies, and you can skip the travel time to the centre with portals nowadays, so its not that big of a deal either way in the current version :P
mellow violet
city coordinates anyone?
upbeat pond
I'll ask my question here in case of spoilers since it has to do with looking for a specific living ship. My question is, how do I get to another galaxy after I have already completed the main storyline?
cedar charm
@upbeat pond eh, that depends
upbeat pond
I want to get to Rerasmutul for the ship I want so I can use the ancient portal address I have for it
cedar charm
which galaxy are you trying to get to specifically? the easiest way would be to join the game of someone that is currently in that galaxy (you can ask for that sort of taxi service around here, or in the nexus :P)
another possible way is to sit at the nexus for a while to get a whole bunch of player bases to populate your teleporter list, until someone's base shows up that is in the galaxy you want
that's more hit-and-miss for the less popular galaxies tho
upbeat pond
That's what I did for a good while today and got a few more but none of them are the one I'm looking for
cedar charm
and then finally there's the long way of hopping from one galaxy to the next until you get to the one you want, by going to the centre in each one. You can probably find portal addresses that let you skip most of the warping time and go straight for the core.
I don't remember them by name, do you know whats the number for that galaxy?
If not I can just alt-tab and check the wiki
cedar charm
Rerasmutul is #18, so your best bet is to get to eissentam (lots of people there) and then reach the centre 8 times to get to #18, if you wanna go the long way around / can't find someone to give you a lift
you can probably google some portal addresses to the core that'll shorten the trip considerably, tho you'd have to find a portal in each new galaxy. Still faster than warping tho. :P
upbeat pond
sighs I had a feeling that was going to be the case....
cedar charm
you could do the nexus thing to try and get closer than eissentam, but you know, its a bit of a crapshoot
