you'd need to find a base anywhere between #10 and #17 ^^
I'd still try posting here or on the reddit to try to arrange a taxi via multiplayer joining tho :P
bit annoying to go manually ^^
particularly if its just to get a ship and then come back
I have Isdoraijung which is the one after Rerasmutul, is there a way to go back one?
only if you had left a base computer at rerasmu whatevers
otherwise the only way to go backwards is by multiplayer
you can freely travel to whatever galaxy you have a base computer at, otherwise you can only travel forward in numbers, until it loops back to 1 after 255 or whatever.
Good gravy....
the closest commonly populated jumping off point for you would be #10 since 90% of people pick eissentam at the end of artemis :P
but I don't think its impossible to find someone online that has a base computer at the one you want and then its just a matter of coordinating to join their game real quick just so you can get a teleporter unlocked there.
Well dang it.... looks like it's going to have to be the hard way by the looks of it. I'm going through the list and seeing if I have anything in-between 10 and 18
sadly I only have stuff up to eissentam, myself, and I'm on permadeath anyway so I doubt that would help you much
I have several bases I went through to find these other galaxies and they show up in my space station list. I went to them, got out of the ship and portaled home and did it again
yep, that should keep those galaxies in your teleport list for a while, was any of 'em closer than eissentam?
That's what I'm checking now
thats essentially the same thing as joining a multiplayer game, just without requiring a volunteer
you could always ask on chat at the nexus for a bit to see if anyone has a base there that isn't uploaded
Sadly no, next one is 19 >.<
thats the farthest one possible if you're going to jump lol
that would require going all the way up to 255 and then looping back and going thru 17 more lol
its really annoying that you can only move in one direction isnt it :P
I have 8 - Budullangr, 7 - Ickjamatew, 4 - Hesperius, 3 Calypso and of course where I started, Euclid
well, eissentam is #10 and pretty much guaranteed from nexus / community spotlights
since its the second most populated galaxy other than euclid
I picked up those other 4 today through the Anomaly
I have a base, not built up mind you, on Eissentam so I can get there from home when I want
How would I go about asking if someone can get me closer here in the Discord?
go to the help channel or the general no mans sky channel and say "Hi, sorry to bother, but can anyone give me a taxi to Galaxy X? I'm on Y game mode"
and then wait for a bit and if no one replies keep trying every half hour or so :P
Didn't think it would be that easy, that's why I asked lol
lol
dunno, seems pretty straight forward to me. The nms community tends to be pretty helpful. I'd ask the same thing on the nms reddit too, will probably reach even more people :P
then its just a matter of coordinating a time when both can be online and you joining their game ^^
I think I'm going to set up a mini base with a portal out on Eissentam so I can go straight from there. Just finished cleaning up my scattered bases I was leaving everywhere lol
There are a lot of Discord communities that are very helpful, but you have to make a post in a specific place or else it gets removed. Guess some are more 'formal' than others
I bet someone probably already made a subreddit or discord channel for NMS taxis too, but I never needed one. If such a thing already exists, I'm sure someone will point you to it too if you don't find anyone able to help :P
or if you post it in the wrong place or whatever
if you're shy about asking for the taxi directly at the various places you could start by asking on the various channels and whatnot 'so, what would be the protocol for asking for a lift to a different galaxy?' :P
should be pretty easy to go from there to the actual goal lol
and no one would find it offensive ^^
Thanks for the help
Not sure if a spoiler...?....but guaranteed s class freighter modules in this system. Every trip. I’m sure some already know about it...but sharing for the ones who don’t
Euclid galaxy
Probably thousands or more of those kinds of systems, just that people haven't discovered them yet.
that's not really a spoiler
I’m sure there is plenty more of them. Yea. Really not a spoiler I guess
Entity 'Nal' reports crying out 6 times
Somewhat paraphrased but can anyone clarify on this part?
Was Nal crying out 6 times to initiate the personality interface?
No man's sky 2
noooo you spoiled no mans sky 2
ha ha
whats the next galaxy after eissentam thats lush?
10, 19, 30, 39, 50, 59, 70 etc
(so if you're not counting how far you've gotten, it's Isdoraijung)
Hi looking for a odd tip. I just ran into my rescue freighter encounter in space. Bloody amazing. Now I get the offer to take it but it’s only a C class, should I still take it or wait for another higher rating?
It's Complicated but the very short version is that if this is your first one, it's recommended that you reject it and wait about 3 hours of playtime for the next one, since it'll spawn with more inventory slots
Ok thanks! That was my only gripe about it, had hardly any inventory
yeah
there's 2 different tiers of freighters, the normal one that starts with 15-19 inventory slots is always the first one you'll encounter
after that, when you warp in and see the "rescue the frigate" thing pop up, those will always be the capital-class freighters that start with 25-34 slots
if you want to think about doing S-class farming, you'll want to wait for that
Temperate Planet
Weather: Corrupted Blood
o.o
bubbling lush world
not megaexotic eitehr
anyone can taxi to a lush galaxy thats not esseintam?
You can have the planet I am leaving after a jerkwad built a base less than 900u from my front door.
It's in Euclid. My first planet.
pls present proof of ownership
u in now @upper badger
Ye gimme a few ill open game
theres no rish i have a game of coh2 going
unless you ahve somewhere to be i can get on then
@upper badger
@sharp venture Which galaxy is it?
Do infested planets have unique lore?
@rose lance Euclid
The purge. When I get my 16th glyph, am I Mandated to complete the quest before I can use portals?
However, being in The Purge will lock Polo and Nada in specific dialogues for the quest. They won't have their regular dialogue options until you complete it. (this means no locations from Polo)
^
Okay just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be forced into the atlas interface if I used any portal, it would have to be the specifically marked one.

Nobody disrespects my burger meat but me!
I love vykeen, hate gek too
something i'm trying to figure out, do you guys see any other improvements in terrain generation besides the higher mountains? I have seem to found these really huge, circular-ish valleys that are pretty neat, but can't say if it's new generation or just in my head.
@upper badger Are there more logs like that about other factions, or from THE other factions?
I dunno, i dont explore these archives often
found a really nice lush world that is filled with those creepy tentacle plants that creep me tf out
Sean's idea of alien seems to be less "wondrous and strange" and more "horrific nightmares"
yup
I like having games, movies, books and more spoiled. And then I have to figure out how it gets there. That’s fun to me.
i see how that could be cool, i personally am not a huge fan of spoilers (not usually video games) cause then something crazy happens but i already know the outcomes instead of being invested, yknow?

i have the fear of the unkonw :D and thats why i cant do anyting :D
So after you get the final recipe after ||resetting the simulation||, is there more lore to be gotten from those odd terminals you sometimes see in space stations that ask for it?
@nocturne zephyr well as I was saying in the Legacy channel I found a planet which appears to be much more Foundations-ish in its terrain, and a planet that has really high mountains in one part and then relatively normal rolling hills in another. not sure if i would call those new features per se, but different terrain than I've seen in NEXT/Beyond

GOT MAH LIVING SHIP BOIIIII
On my first try
I got the colors and model I wanted
Fun fact: I had another steam account
With another NMS save
I had my first living ship there
It was golden
and now I created a new steam account
And my first living ship is golden
:D
I mean
Now That I am looking more
It's a tiny bit greenish
But it's golden too
lol
not all livings ships look the same?
No, there are different parts that combine like a normal ship
i just started my living ship questline and have to wait like 20 hours
Yeah it takes days
You can skip that by going offline, setting the date ahead by a day or so, and logging back in. It works on steam but Idk about ps4
nice
i have my S class fighter rn which is my main ship
i just want a living ship to brag
Its great cause the stuff used to fuel it are easy to get. O2 for the launch thrusters, Pugneum for shields, chromatic metal for hyperdrive and silver/gold for pulse drive
Its upgrades can also be upgraded to different levels for nanites
Same got a new one focused on mining and combat
mine just has all my stuff on it
mining and combat
i always think its funny when i see those little itty bitty tools in the space stations to exchange
Lol same
LS is more unique than any of the other ships. It has a unique and easy to use upgrade system, where you only need a specific number of upgrades, the tech is easy to recharge and isn't damaged by black holes and to top it all off it has a unique questline behind it.
Does that do it @fair bone?
Have fun with ur inventory slots, buying upgrades for the starships is easy and fast, the story is bland and needlessly long
I actually don't have any issues with storage, to get upgrades for starships you need to go out and find the S class ones you want, the story can be skipped easily
You don't need a system with good upgrades, they can be upgraded with nanites when installed
Keep thinking that LS are better (I clarified cause you didn't seem to understand)

@stray abyss LS tech that's installed in the storage sacs aka general inventory, can get damaged just the same as regular ships.
a bh warp damages 1 random tech/upgrade mod per bh warp.
I'm pretty sure they can't, but I'm not 100% sure tho
Also can you confirm that they're upgrade modules can be upgraded via nanites?
their
my question involves spoilers, so I'm asking here rather than #nms-questions . I'm at the end of the Atlas Path I think and I've got 14/16 glyphs from warping on "The Purge" step of the Artemis questline. My buddy tells me that the end of the Atlas path is where we choose a new galaxy, but I thought that was supposed to happen when I get to the center of the galaxy.
If I finish this and choose a new galaxy, what happens to my main mission to get to the center and reset the sim?
Also can you confirm that they're upgrade modules can be upgraded via nanites?
@stray abyss yes
and let me get a screenshot of a damaged tech in storage sacs
i've tested this like 5 times now
because there's someone out there spreading misinformation
see the Nada figurine?
damaged, from a bh warp.
installed it before the bh warp, just to get the screenshot.
i even have a screenshot somewhere with a damaged upgrade mod.
I can confirm that living ship tech takes damage in black holes as well, given that I was literally just doing it
and was surprised to see it, since the wiki claimed otherwise
@main bison your buddy is incorrect. End of the artemis path is choosing a new galaxy (which lets you jump into galaxy 2, 3, 7, or 10, depending on what decision you make). When you get to the center of the galaxy, you increment your galaxy by one-- 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc. The atlas path does nothing for galaxy switching.
if you swap galaxies (via the center, or teleporting to another player's base) before completing the artemis questline, the galaxy you're popped into based on your decision is modified based on whatever one you complete it in
@prime inlet. Thanks
Wait actually I'm talking about the organic tech like the pulsating heart tho. I'm pretty sure that doesn't get damaged
I can confirm that living ship tech takes damage in black holes as well, given that I was literally just doing it
@raw pecan can you confirm ^^?
living ship's own tech also gets damaged.
Ok then I'm wrong
wouldn't make sense if everything else took damage, but not the main system techs
that said, I can also confirm that the game doesn't know what "launch thrusters" are on the living ship, so if you galaxy-swap on one you can immediately summon it to yourself because the brain isn't damaged 😛
Lol
so I was on the final step of "Starbirth" when I finished the Atlas Path and made my way to Eissentam Galaxy. Now I have two of the "Cracking Void Egg," one in my exosuit inventory and one in my ship inventory. They have the same portal address too. I think it got duped somehow.
Nice
yeah, that happens
most active quest items are duplicated when you switch galaxies
it doesn't actually do anything, you can only start the quest with a regular void egg, not "active"/"cracking"/etc
if you swap galaxies (via the center, or teleporting to another player's base) before completing the artemis questline, the galaxy you're popped into based on your decision is modified based on whatever one you complete it in
@raw pecan which decision it’s necessary to eissemant galaxy?
If you mean Eissentam, taking the "Lush" option from Euclid will take you there
If you mean Eissentam, taking the "Lush" option from Euclid will take you there
@raw pecan yes Eissentam lol
so I got to the planet on the final step of the Star Birth quest. the planet the portal takes you to. and the space station seems to be a Pre-Beyond abandoned model
neat
yeah a lot of "abandoned" systems have the same layout, plus some alien gunk in the side rooms
Finished the Atlas Path. Kind of wish I'd created this new star before I accidentally caused the end of the reality it inhabits, but what can you do?
Also, they changed it so that you don't need all the seeds to finish it. You just need the Heart of the Sun.
That or my game glitched in the most beneficial way possible.
I’m most of the way through the story and never got an atlas pass.
@versed pivot easily unlocked via manufacturing facilities research tree
btw.. do not attempt to unlock oxygen capsule, and notice there's two entries for unstable plasma.
these have been reported as bugs
Oh. I really had no clue where to get them. But tbh I wasn’t too concerned with it.
But I will be doing that tonight haha
additionally, atlas pass v3 opens both v1 and v2 crates and doors
I’ll do that after cashing in 60 mill+ in activated iridium.
Unless anyone here needs any lol
Willing to trade any of these nodes for a pulsing heart node!
I have 2 theories
Wait so
One: You erased the heart from your Living Ship
There's basically no real benefit of using LS to travel through black holes?
Two: You somehow hot there and yyou are making the mission now
The tech can still get damaged, even in lesser amounts?
Well fuck LSs then, Im exchanging mine for the best shuttle eva
@uncut harness im not 100% sure, but I've seen mixed answers about it
Id keep it mate
I don't think you can throw away LVs
You can't scrap em but I think you can trade em
Will see
@warm gorge no, lol i've maxed out my tech in the organ chamber and now i'm farming to add this tech to my storage chamber, to max out my booster speed.
i just need one more pulsing heart node.... just ONE!! been farming since last night T_T
ohhhhhh
@wild lake gentle reminder: you can evolve a c-class mod all the way to s-class
He did say node
@wild lake Where did you farm those upgrades?
Which is the upgrade module for it
I got my ship yesterday
@prime inlet oh, that one is mistake, i dont need the neural node.. so i didnt bother
I want 2 max it out
@warm gorge found the portal code in youtube..
Don't you farm abandoned blue star systems?
Close enough
how do you know if its uncharted?
does it have a space station @prime inlet ?
then I can't go
oooo
uncharted has no economy data
because my freighter cant go to blue systems yet
you don't exactly need the freighter to farm LS upgrade mods
how do I farm 'em?
pulse
you simply take your living ship out and pulse until hailed, destroy the void egg on the space encounter, and then pulse again, and again, until there's no more void egg space encounters; save, reload, repeat
sure
the reload is what resets the whole space encounter order
you're basically iterating through a list
this is where i farm mine.
I mean, without the glyphs it's kinda useless 👀
also, @prime inlet which galaxy is that?
euclid
got another cortex node T_T
f
2nd egg! my build is complete !
i'm talking about planet side.
lemme check space speed
about 7558u/s in space ^_^ wooot!
i finished the artemis path yesterday
man, i nearly cried when nada and polo no longer recognized me
:(
Eissentam
lol
but yeah
love seeing that "WEATHER WARNING: INCOMING WALL OF FIRE" alert
also, activated stellar metals EVERYWHERE
i should finish installing my indium drive so i can farm activated indium
you should
I accidentally murdered myself with a geocannon while on a planet with CONSTANT walls of fire. Storm would leave and I would get another alert 3 min later
It was at my activated iridium farm 😆
I was in the process of building a building to hold double stacked storage tanks.
It’s all done now
@uncut harness Maybe try asking in the #nms-modding channel, maybe people there will have access to them
Ok wtf
Found a Boundary Terminal with Scenario: Rampancy
|| Sometimes, I dream of the Traveller. In time, I will wear them ||
WTF TELAMON
😌
And another one
|| WE SHALL ALL SCREAM AS ONE ||

Game world is properly corrupted now and I love it.
I met a traveller that was on 19th second so was in a universe 3 seconds behind ours.
Which I thought was pretty neat.
O_O
Oh, ok.
<insert mommy pick me up I'm scarred meme>
Are they complaining about us saving the game to quit playing?
... The hell.
Wait no. I guess it's more a complaint on resetting the universe.
I dunno
nah you were right the first time
But this planet I'm on is LITERALLY LITTERED with Boundary Terminals
And I'm gonna check them all
Portal glyphs for anyone interested, look for Metallurgic planet
everything is meta, simulations within simulations, including you and me
everyone wave hi at the person playing you one layer up
ITERATION: ERROR
Telamon was the suit of the scientist who built the Atlas, so he's talking about the scientist leaving the simulation
Rememberance terminal 4 had this lore bit, right?
And I think maybe Null after the scientist got too wrapped up in the simulation
Still, I didn't know Telamon was related to that "higher" world
Found an entry that speaks of || entity which face is energy ||
That could fit
Well, it's still wholly in the simulation. It was like the avatar programmed to be controlled by the scientist. But it had extra powers, like how it splits off a function to control sentinels
Do you agree that Null is the scientist, just gone crazy?
I mean
Uhm, not sure about that
I'm just saying that the entity described in entries is Null
Or just the first emulation of the scientist
Maybe if I re-read all the entries I will see that
every traveller is the scientist, the only thing that varies is "how much insight they get into the nature of their existence before all is said and done"
Every traveler is a variation of an emulation of the scientist. I'm wondering if Null is legit the actual scientist
1st time I see a monolith on anomalous planet
nah, null's just another iteration-- they may be the first iteration, but they don't seem to grasp the true nature of what's going on, they're just obsessed with seeing everything and living forever, sacrificing each universe to be able to keep moving to the next
There was some lore bit that made me think the scientist started getting upset with not being able to see everything and started losing himself. But that I guess wouldn't quite fit with the timeline of Atlas being abandoned but Null is still in the simulation
I suspect that there was an iteration of "the scientist" prior to the first iteration of "the traveller", to be honest-- the upshot of all of this is that Atlas want(s/ed) it's creator to stick around, but when it tried to keep that personality with the full memories intact and aware, that being reacted poorly to the knowledge that it was trapped in a simulation
thus the traveller instances with no past memory and only ever attaining varying levels of insight into the nature of the universe, usually wrapped in metaphors about glass and water
heh
Sounds like we're on similar pages. That's good to hear
I never bother with spoiler tags in the spoiler channel :)
Maybe Atlas hasn't been abandoned and travelers aren't simulations, but actual people in cryogenic tubes, hence the glass and water?
Probably not, just a thought
My other idea is that the long-abandoned data center is slowly flooding, creeping up on Atlas, causing hardware failures and eventual shutdown, and that's why the abyss is tied to water and oblivion
I think I've found entries that support your claims of Travellers being simulations of scientists
17 terminals visited, I'd like to continue but I need to get some sleep
and that's why the abyss is tied to water and oblivion
the entire game is an extended commentary on climate change and atlas' data center is in florida
I have completed the three main objectives. I think I have a glitched Polo. How should he interact?
@wind urchin You've completed The Purge and are on New Beginnings?
not a big fan of starbirth but i think it was worth it
I have 1563 hours into this game and ive still never completed it lmao
@gaunt sedge when you complete the artemis path, you get two options:
reset the simulation, or don't
shit
DAMN IT
should i have
YES
not said that
ok so
resetting the sim will just take me back to Euclid rifht
nope
w h a t
you're still in euclid, right?
Yeah
Tell me I lose everything when i go to a new galaxy and ill punch you through my phone
and have to leave the old fashioned way: hyperdrive into the galaxy's core
Lol
Id rather do that tbh
Ooo
see what im still wondering
Is how im supposed to get to the damn galactic core
When im 900K LY AWAY
there's portal coordinates on the wiki
for a system one jump from the core
and origins removed all restrictions on portal travel
ok so:
if you choose to reset the simulation into a normal galaxy, you get dumped into the Hilbert Dimension Galaxy, which is literally the next galaxy after Euclid and defeats the purpose of resetting the simulation
resetting it into a harsh galaxy dumps you into the calypso galaxy, which is what i did
but be prepared
when travelling to a new galaxy
you will wake up on a random planet
you'll still have everything in your inventory
but every single technology module and upgrade that's not in a technology slot will be broken and need repairs
Oh my god youre still typing
so basically
Reallt damn
your multi-tool will break
So just carry 3everything on me
since it has no dedicated tech slots
if you have a freighter, it will remain unaffected
be ready to REPAIR everything
you mean dismantle
tech mods can't be moved
and yeah yk what i meant
into non-tech slots
once they're installed, i mean
you can't move them to another storage unit
Ik
so just be ready to repair shit
I have a loaf of upgrade modules in a ship in my freighter for black holes
So ill probably use those
or, alternatively, buy a cheap unmodded starship to serve as your vessel for galaxy hopping
so at the very least you'll spare your starship modules
true
but also
holy shit continue
for the most part, galaxy biomes just determine planet spawn frequencies
and/or the frequency of abandoned and dead systems
for instance
the calypso galaxy is a harsh galaxy
which means massively increased spawns for extreme planets
join the club, calypso is the one i chose
also as long as you have at least one base in another galaxy, you can hop back and forth with a base teleporter
yeah
I CAN TELEPORT BETWEEN GALAXIES
yep!
there is no "harshest" galaxy
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
just galaxies with the "harsh" biome type
i wanna go to the galaxy thats all death fuck your shit up type of stuff
im on a permadeath save of 1.5k hours so it would probably not end well
But hey, whatever
calypso is a great place to grind activated stellar metals and storm crystals
it's also just fun to explore
but i recommend maintaining a presence in euclid
most of the player-built civilizations are in euclid
some civs are based in other galaxies, but the heaviest permanent player presence is in euclid
so i'd recommend against abandoning it entirely
however you can usually find some player presence in most galaxies
some of the biggest civilizations have outposts in far flung galaxies
but yeah
when you reset the simulation
calypso is the option represented by the big red glowy orb
there is uh
one downside to resetting the sim though
do you want the spoiler?
sure @thin furnace
it's story-based
the spoiler i mean
OH
it heavily involves certain characters
tell me who it involves and ill decide
nada and polo
yes
||with the simulation reset, both of them completely forget you||
||when you return to the space anomaly, its basically their first time meeting you||
it's a massive trade with consequences
i still dont even know what happens to artemis
and youre telling me that fuckin nada and polo forget me
alternatively
you can avoid this outcome
by refusing to reset the simulation
and galaxy-jumping the normal way
calypso is the third galaxy in the order
OH
SAY LESS
screw that they shall know me forever
bro i gotta play again
i wanna figure out what happens to artemis
with portal travel you can probably reach calypso fairly quickly
probably
portal coords work the same in every galaxy
bet
alright man im pissed now
i wanna know what happens to artemis
time to hop on at 1 am
so if you know the coords to a planet in euclid that is very close to the core, you can use the coords in another galaxy to reach equally close
the wiki has the coords logged if you wanna find them
nice
you need all 16 glyphs though, which i assume you have gotten from traveller graves since you've played over 1000 hours so far
in the final mission, you start getting handed the glyphs for free
the final mission in the storyline is "The Purge"
the only objective is "Reach the galaxy centre and the final Atlas interface"
bro im deadass about to get on no mans sky at 1 am when i have to wake up for school in 5 hours to see what artemis does
every single time you jump to a new system after The Purge mission starts, you receive a glyph
oo
it's how i filled out my glyphs
you're welcome
Gn
Ok
Good
How far is the purge from going into the portal
Like with the breach
Oh
I go to atlas interfaces for fuel lol
lol
I warp to the nearest one and take the 2 warp cells
Or some farting alien space jellyfish
Or are all high wind detected not also toxic
Purge is both Anomaly and Artemis path
Was reading some talk on the Glass and Water concepts used in the game... It's been my interpretation that the glass is referring to glass box testing (software / algorithms). I've felt that sentinels are corrupted enforcement of Atlas's purpose. Something akin to Red atlas + Blue water = Purple Sentinel
IDK what's in the water, but I wouldn't drink it
As travellers our avatars are meant to explore and test the galaxies and systems. Iterating through galaxies, systems, avatars.
@summer anvil I was collecting more boundary failures yesterday and wasn't convinced that Artemis' story ends at the Mind Arc. There was a moment where I wondered if they were inferring that the traveler (us) was also Artemis. Then I got super mind-fucked when the boundary failure's dialogue said it was coming from the Exosuit and I had to stop for the night. I think I skipped through a bunch of these my first time around and lost track of the narrative though, so I might go back through and catalogue all of them if it hasn't been done yet.
i need some help
i need to go to the store, and i wanna keep nms running so i can be absolutely sure three hours pass in-game (i'm still trying for a freighter battle)
how do i keep the game running without it burning into my screen? i play on a laptop so i can't just turn my monitor off
oops wrong channel
@thin furnace just alt tab to some thing else. It keeps it running while letting your laptop go to screen saver
Alt tab will pause it, though
No it won't
Maybe float in water and point the camera down so the ocean moving changes the screen?
If you hit escape and press the Windows key, you'll still have it running
It might still count as time, I don't know, but that is paused when you hit esc (I'm 80% sure, 5am here and about to go back to sleep)
Oh it counts as time tho
Ahh, I gotcha
I paused the game, check how long it was since I last saved and it let me do the freighter battle after 3 hours and 5 warps
As a chronic sleeper, are you sure it counts as time? Cause my steam hours do not line up with my save hours at all
Mine dont either but it does
weird...
I know the weather would continue, didnt realize game time still counted tho
Yeah it does
re pause vs not pause, "whether or not someone else is in multiplayer in the system with you" will affect what does and doesn't pause the game
@rancid ether It feels a shame I can't repeat some of these quests, I'd like to tinker with different choices on the same save across different galaxies. Otherwise it feels more like a shutdown than a reset, right??
I like to think of the traveller as a process launched by users, tracked by a process ID (Iteration ID#).
The difficulty I have for the decisions in the story is whether I should be answering the questions, whether my traveller should be answering the questions, and which of us is being asked?
rummaging thru the language files there are guidance messages for finding a lava planet and basalt so presumably there will be something interesting needing it
annnnd nevermind lol, seems all raw materials have the ability to be searched for like that (i had no idea lol)
@haughty oar it is technically required to complete the artemis questline
but it won't be until the very end of it
so essentially no
you will not have to do it
alright thanks
what's the easiest way to find a portal?
i'm trying to get to the galactic center, and warping isn't exactly easy going lol. i have all the glyphs, and the option to reset through the Atlas.
Ok i just went though portal who the hell are these three floating thinks calling themselves atlas
Good riddance I'd say lol
@real sapphire I was one of those animals last night D: Got yeeted while at a trading post
lookie what I found, think its fake tho
Looks like an extremely old fanmade poster, has the WARE logo on it lmao
Yeah that’s fake
Would've been interesting if it was real
Should I.. not.. finish the Atlas Path?
I feel like something bad is going to happen when I finish the Atlas Path..
Though honestly the question itself is kinda stupid already
Depends on what choice you make at the end.
@tepid maple nah nothing bad happens
There used to be downsides depending on what path u chose but not anymore
Ok question about the story
Does it change anything between if I chose to put Artemis in the simulation or kill him
Different dialogue later, but nothing drastic.
him?...them?
fair, Artemis is also the name of a greek goddess.
Easy to make assumptions
it has a weak chin
i love how every single drastic planet change made by new updates can canonically be explained as being a result of the simulation bugging the fuck out as the Atlas continues to die
it does make for a neat and tidy meta explanation for everything, yeah
i do feel bad for the galactic hub though
they have to relocate their capital because origins made their mascot diplo species go extinct
Good for them lol
Then again I don't support the hub since I find their prime motive pointless
you think its pointless to want to catalogue findings in this game?
Yeah, since there's just so much stuff in the game
Way I see it, you aren't meant to see everything in the game
i mean if it wasnt for the hub cataloging freighter spawns i wouldn't have found my s-class freighter
I found mine on my own, and while cataloging has its advantages I just don't support it
in the end i think people should just have fun in this game the way they want
Yeah, which is why I don't argue against the hub I just state my reasons for not supporting it. If you do that's fine by me
i literally joined up with them lol
im building an outpost for their calypso branch
they dont claim systems that have already been discovered
Nice
they also only officially claim systems in the specific regions they've claimed
they've claimed 11 regions in euclid
and with billions of regions in that galaxy you can easily avoid their space if you dont want to interact with them
but anyway im building a welcome center-style outpost for them on an extreme ice planet because i love the aesthetic of mundane buildings and facilities on worlds like that
True, there's perks to having "infinite" areas to be in
their wiki page shows their regions in euclid and calypso if you really wanna avoid them
Thanks mate
Hey i finished the game and chose a random galaxy (i think blue, not realising i shouldve chose green) anyywayy i was wondering if theres anyway to get to Eissentam after ive finished the game, maybe portals? or im not sure

@uncut harness not with portals exactly, but you can either join the game of someone that is currently in eissentam, use a featured base from the anomaly teleporter if any are in eissentam, or wait around in the nexus until someone with an uploaded base there shows up so you can go to their bases from the anomaly teleporter.
Yeah portals
Portals are the giant structures found on planets, those only send you to the same galaxy. ^^

@cedar charm hmm ill try that
Also if you just have a base you placed down in Euclid
@uncut harness The waiting-in-nexus method shouldn't take long since its the second most populated galaxy, losing only to euclid ^^

@cedar charm ? so if i am in another galaxy and see some cool planet i want to check out but its in a different galaxy i put in the Glyphs but i wont go there ill go to that spot in MY galaxy
cool
@cedar charm ? so if i am in another galaxy and see some cool planet i want to check out but its in a different galaxy i put in the Glyphs but i wont go there ill go to that spot in MY galaxy
@uncut harness Yep, if you see someone post a screenshot of a planet in Euclid, for example, and you use those coordinates while you're in Eissentam, you'll go to that portal address in Eissentam, which will often be a completely different biome than the one from the screenshot, and it will not have the same ships / multi-tools / freighters / creatures / etc that they would in euclid. :P
ah ok
Basically portals only make local calls, they don't have any glyphs for 'area code' :P
so if i move to eissentam if i want to go back to euclid ill have to use the Anomoly process OR can i just TP to a space station i have back in EUCLID
btw thx for the help : )
so if i move to eissentam if i want to go back to euclid ill have to use the Anomoly process OR can i just TP to a space station i have back in EUCLID
@uncut harness as long as you have a base computer (just the computer, don't even need a teleporter) in a galaxy, you will always be able to teleport there using base/station teleporters.
ok thx
im in the anomoly tp rn how do i tell what system the featured ones are in also i only see 3 featured
if they're in a different galaxy than you, anything in the nexus teleporter will show [X Galaxy] in square brackets under the name of the location
right now euclid and some other galaxies are being displayed wrong due to a bug,
that galaxy there is actually euclid
oh ok, is the teleported im supposed be looking in the Interstellar Terminus
Oh thats weird, thanks
Eissentam is showing correctly tho
thats good
but yeah if other people are nearby, one of the tabs on the side at the interstellar terminus or whatever its called will show bases of nearby players
not really, every few weeks the devs pick different ones as featured, and then they change automatically
damn ok
just start walking near other players to get your list to fill up :P
ah ok, what list?
and then check back at the terminus or whatever
np :P
found one : D
FYI, the next community research tier is ||3 titles: Dreamer, Lonely, Every One Procedural||
oh that bug where its showing the wrong name is because the first three galaxies have procedural names that got replaced by manual names
origins introduced a bug where the procedural names are being shown
First 5 I believe
Whatever you feel is right. It's fine either way
@fading shell I asked the question it doesn’t change anything in the story from what I noticed
Just some dialogue
ok tnx... i killed him
Same
AfterI get the step to "Just enjoy the universe" in the atlas path quest.. is that it?
Do more steps come after that?
Not that I know of
Ok
I changed to the mission atlas something
It requires me to find a Blackhole
Where do I find them?
Oh, do you already have the ||Star Seed and Heart of the Sun||?
No
And I know we're in the spoilers channel...habit
But it's saying to go through a black hole?
Yes that’s what the way of the atlas is saying
16/16 wants me to fill another one of those weird symbol terminals with materials
Can you see the black hole symbols on the galaxy map? White hexagon with a black star
Let me see
16/16 wants me to fill another one of those weird symbol terminals with materials
@runic kernel Oh, do that first
Switch to the Atlas Path after you go through the portal and have that experience 😛
That's fair
@willow stirrup what the hell is this Meeting
lol
Am I being questioned about every belief I ever had or wth is going on?
Oh and now he’s telling me it’s my fault both are dead
Yeah, the Atlas is an asshole
I ain’t accepting that fuck you atlas
Once you're done with that, then switch to the Atlas Path and complete that
Alright got you
You have to warp around anyway, so might as well warp to atlas stations
As long as your Discovery Milestone is the top one (Galileo) you can complete it all easily enough
What the fuck
So I am on a ice planet now
The game is telling me warn everyone
So now i switched to the atlas quest
Open the galaxy map and it should guide you to atlas stations, but you might want to do the warning first
What’s the difference?
Do the warning, then do the Atlas Path starting with the next mission (The Purge)
Alright got it
At some point, you might have trouble finding the next atlas station btw (Polo might be dialogue locked to the Artemis Path quest).
If that happens, just continue the rest of The Purge.
Yeah gota repair my ship first
oh yeah...that. Let us know if you want more spoiler-filled prep work.
I’ll take as much as you can give me
switch to your crappiest ship and multitool right before the final portal
If you don't have one of either of those, buy one
@rancid ether ehh any particular reason for that?
Ok I reached the purge now it’s time to change
And move as much tech as you can to the tech slots
Just swap them when you get to the portal or as @willow stirrup said ^^
And move as much tech as you can to the tech slots
@willow stirrup hey dude you are throwing so many terms at my head right now I need to collect myself
So
Change to the worst tool and ship first
You have a General tab in your ship and a Technology tab.
Move your expensive upgrades to the Technology tab
^^ yes, don't swap until you get to the portal for the final interface
yeah items are fine
same with exosuit any ship upgrades on your least liked ship btw
And multitool?
MT only has 1 tab, thats why youre switching to the garbo one
Ehhh I just left the anomaly and the game is asking me something
Look for the last crosspath
Finish the way of the atlas
Explore the galaxy
Those are my options
@willow stirrup
Seek the final interface
That’s what you want me to press alrighty
I don’t even think this changed anything
It won't truly matter which one you picked. Open the galaxy map and go to the next atlas interface
I got a plan for an atlas seed
You have to warp 16 times, so you might as well make 10 of them be to Atlas Stations to finish up that path 😛
Wait why should i swap to crappy tool and ship
To avoid damage
So, if I enter the center with a living ship (no upgrades), would it remain intact?
There are some repairs that you have to do I think, but I don't have one to confirm that
@runic kernel Are you still warping and are you already in the junk ship?
Is your ship just not warp efficient?
Add S class hyperdrive modules and that will extend how many warps you can get out of a single warp cell
You'll need to at some point
If you would like my opinion, you should craft 2 of each
Well, 2 sets
You need the previous one to craft the next one. You want to end up with 2 hearts of the sun
That works
Do it before you reach the 10th Atlas station, though
You will need: ||125 Chromatic, 100 each: Pure Ferrite, Ionized Cobalt, Copper, Cadmium, Emeril, Indium, Gold, and 5 Magnetized Ferrite|| for 1 HotS
Do it before you reach the 10th Atlas station, though
@willow stirrup any reason for that?
So you can craft 1 HotS right away
So for time management
Right
Man this really feels like I am using everything I got to end the story
There is no end, there is only New Beginnings 😛
Where the fuck do I find emeril is the question
^
Yeah
I think the metal color corresponds with its parent star
Today I made the connection that the metal colors are the same
Copper = Yellow
Cadmium = Red
Emeril = Green
Indium = Blue
I know they reside in those systems, but I didn't make a visual connection
Yeah number one problem is just making the fuel so I can warp to another system
Warp fuel is cheap to make, though
I know but it’s the time I also have to get more cadmium so I can visit green systems so I can improve my seeds
@runic kernel Do you have any amount of cadmium, emeril, and indium?
You can duplicate them by mixing it with chromatic metal
Throw them in a large or medium refiner with chromatic metal
And it gives me more of whatever I threw in?
And it gives me more of whatever I threw in?
@runic kernel For stellar metals, yes
@rancid ether omfg
All this time
Wasted
I feel like an idiot
If I knew that before
nah, consider it enlightenment
My man
I played this game for a week
A few days ago i didn’t even know red systems existed
Oh, lol
I looked for the drive and found it in the anomaly
You might want to grab those 2 drives. You need both Emeril and Indium for the Heart of the Sun craft chain
Alright so I have to be able to visit every system?
It's helpful. You can probably get the materials you need from ship scrapping or freighter missions, but it's faster to gather it yourself
Alright I know what to do then thank you for the help till now you two @rancid ether @willow stirrup
Happy to help
I played 40 hours i got all the drives
Just remember take three times what your star ship needs for your frieghter too
Alright so I have to be able to visit every system?
@runic kernel thats impossible theres that many systems and galaxies one galaxy would take years
@runic kernel thats impossible theres that many systems and galaxies one galaxy would take years
@uncut harness not what we meant just every kind of system
Oh got ya
Can i throw activated indium with the metal to get more
Show me your duplication ways
i keep finding glyphs by accident and not cause im actually lookng for them...unless thats the point
@reef robin Depends what part of the mission you're on
Can i throw activated indium with the metal to get more
@uncut harness No
Doesn't work with Activated stellar metals
i dont think im on the mission? i was doing a nexus mission and found a glyph
Oh, that happens sometimes when you find graves
only chromatic and non-activated
Ahh ok thx
Alright I think I found the last atlas point
There is just a giant circle with some black stones here what am I supposed to do?
Waiittttt
I am activating all the terminals
Alright I put in one of my hearts of the sun
Create a new Star seems like the correct option here
yes
Alright I got a star seed what the hell do i do with it now?
Install it, then continue on with the rest of The Purge
Alright got it
Install it in your tech slots, ideally
What’s the purge do?
can be used as a shortcut to jump galaxies
welcome to Hilbert D
Wait I think I may of misspoke. I’m not on galaxy #2. I chose to go to a lush one. But I was stupid and accidentally had my primary ship with me when I triggered it
I forget what it’s name was
so welcome to Eissentam
"welcome to eissentam, enjoy your repair bill"
i'm in eissentam right now, with 90% of my exosuit damaged
lol
already set up in a planet near a portal, harvesting these two hotspots (o2, paraf) just for the hell of it, then moving on to #15
I found one of these, and flew around it to see if I could do anything with it but didn't see anything. Can you do anything with it?
Yeah it is a civilization pod
I never have been able to interact past the initial comm it initiated
Ok, thanks 🙂
I have been playing blind for around 35hrs and I just got my first freighter, I didn't realize I could hold out for a better one for free and ended up getting a c class with 26 slots, should I just start over from scratch since I manual saved in the freighter lol or should I just buy a better one later?
get a new, better one later
every technology you unlock for this one will still be available to use in the next one
it's not really worth it to handicap yourself over it, this freighter will do just fine
Is it easier to start from scratch and get the free s class or to just grind out however many units they cost?
you wouldn't be guaranteed to get a free s-class anyway, it's rng
many players have spent hours reloading, redoing the same fight, trying to roll a s-class
there's plenty of stuff to do than to sit around griding and reloading for something that isn't even mandatory (a s-class freighter)
How much do they cost roughly?
units are extremely easy to come by in this game that won't be the problem at all
a s-class capital freighter like this one should cost about 178million units
past a certain point in progression, you could do 150 million a day, without breaking a sweat.
150 mil is like, baby numbers.
I have a shorter version of that one. I want the big one. I had the money for the big one a day after getting the smaller one.
Ok sweet lol cuz I have only made about 20 mill so far in my 35 hrs I've been playing,
I was worried that I screwed myself by accepting a c class for my free freighter after reading about it online
no, if anything it will make your life easier
worry about getting a higher class one later
I rushed an activated iridium farm and a rusted metal farm. Storage containers are cheap and easy to make. My activated iridium farm takes 28 hours to fill
What is the easiest way to grind out units for a noob?
one i've looked into recently is to dig up buried minerals and caches
you can "inspect" these buried minerals from your inventory, and they can yield good stuff that can be sold early on
investing into scanner upgrade mods to increase fauna/flora discovery unit rewards is also a good way to generate income while still walking around exploring doing missions etc
Why did something tell me dont go to center
@pallid mauve missions pay well for almost doing nothing
But don’t do any combat ones
@uncut harness was it a in game character?
I think one of the huge information towers
An to beware the crimson eye
The towers you need the races language to access
not really @uncut harness some anomalies have uses but others are just for the experience
woah
im late.
@uncut harness its warning you as a story device. You may heed those words, or embrace the universe . (Trying not to ruin story lol)
thanks MsThena Claws
@willow stirrup I am infront of the Final Portal time to enter it
Ehhh reseting the simulation seems like the thing I should do
Got some nice colors now
What should I pick hm
they are different in certain aspects
Well what is the best one
Choose green or blue for a slightly easier galaxy. Go with red for a harder.
Well green it is
And done
This track has no right being this good
And now everything broken
And I have to find my ship
@runic kernel Im assuming its Asimov by 65dos
And yeah, that song really amped me up at the end
@runic kernel going to another galaxy that way ruins a chunk of your multi tool. Exo suit. And your ship. Have a buddy taxi you to a new galaxy and that doesn't happen .
If you want Calypso, Eissentam (?), leugausivia (?), or Zeziceloh. Dm me. Those are the galaxies i have access to.
Appreciate it
Star Seed increases health and Remembrance is useful at some terminals.
