If we resetted the universe at the end of the game, does that mean that Artemis is alive?

mellow robin Jan 1, 2021, 1:06 PM

#

Nah, it's more like a reboot than a time rewind

#

Besides none of the Travelers are really alive, or ever were, unless you stretch your definition of "life"

#

It also depends on your other choice for Artemis, mine is still kicking in the sub-simulation

wind swallow ok how do i get back to the atlas place to reset it

You have to go back to the center of the universe

#

Also be prepared, your ship, multitool and exosuit modules will take damage and will need to be repaired

ok ill gahter the required materials beforehand

#

i need help

#

im at the end of the story

#

and i need to get to the center of the galaxy

#

do i do that by getting all the glyphs or something else?

ember cobalt Jan 2, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

@winter oasis You see the path to the center? Follow it every warp you will get a glyph then you can do a portal

winter oasis Jan 2, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

thx i did already

#

im going to search up the address

latent jacinth Jan 2, 2021, 1:40 AM

winter oasis im going to search up the address

If you want to rush it, portal0 x12 takes you like 5k LY away from the center

winter oasis Jan 2, 2021, 1:40 AM

#

thx really helpful

outer relic Jan 2, 2021, 4:08 AM

#

I hope you haven’t gone there with a portal already, because you should know that you don’t actually have to go to the center. If you warp 16 times you get to a place that finishes the quest ||and lets you pick another galaxy to go to||.

#

You also get all of the glyphs for free while doing this.

you don't have to do the quest to do that

but dont i need to do that to unlock portals?

nah, portal glyphs are unlocked a few different ways (though what ways those are vaguely escape me)

uncut harness Jan 2, 2021, 9:15 AM

well right now i refused the atlas and it looks like it wants me to come back and do a reset

uncut harness Jan 2, 2021, 9:32 AM

#

Once u get portal glyphs you can sorta drop out

#

Quest is easiest way to get glyphs tho

#

and you can always do it after

#

yea so I just did and i found my first portal

#

i am at the subreddit that shows off a bunch of peeps' paradise planets that i can visit with the glyphs

#

but the glyphs they have are 12 and my portal wants 13

prime inlet Jan 2, 2021, 10:40 AM

#

uncut harness but the glyphs they have are 12 and my portal wants 13

to be able to even use a portal, you will need to charge up the 16 glyphs. every address is made up of 12 glyphs, not 13, so your portal can't be possibly asking for 13.

#

once you input the 12th glyph, the portal automatically resolves the address and opens up the portal tunnel

And extreme storms planet its taken me to

halcyon osprey Jan 4, 2021, 7:40 PM

does the planet have high mountains or any hilly features?

because some terrain might block the plaque from spawning correctly

there are two things i can say about this,
1 continue finding the plaque on the planet
2 warp away and find another planet with better plaque rng

You can do the atlas path whenever you want

But if you want to finish it later you should probably also start later because by the time you’re done with the the purge you’ll be far away from the systems in the atlas path

#

Okay real talk, after having seen all the lore tidbits for the three races... The Gek seem to pretty clearly be the villains here, right? Granted, reformed villains, but only in the sense they were literally re-formed by the Korvax into a more passive species

#

The things their relics say are horrible

#

They enslaved an entire race to use their blood as a drug and currency

#

The Korvax seem to be almost entirely passive themselves, and while the Vy’keen are jerks in their own ways, they aren’t WRONG when they say the Gek are responsible for many, many problems across the galaxy

#

Though some of their accusations are baseless, like insisting the Gek’s aggression brought about the return of the hostile sentinels. That’s happening for other, unrelated reasons.

#

Really it seems as if the only “bad” thing the Korvax did was rewrite the Gek genome to make them not horrible arseholes anymore.

#

And after being penned in and basically ground up by the Gek for so long, can they even be blamed?

#

It’s a wonder that the Korvax didn’t set fire to the spawning vats, as the Gek sub-races had done to each other according to their ruins, their solution was ethically questionable, but comparatively merciful.

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

doesn't it say some where that the vy'keen were close to getting rid of the sentinels but then the first spawn came from the out edges of the galaxy bringing the sentinels with them? maybe I'm just remembering someone elses theory

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 10:41 PM

#

dire dagger doesn't it say some where that the vy'keen were close to getting rid of the sent...

That’s Vy’keen myth, and refers to hostile sentinels more than anything. The Gek went too far, many times, but actually, it was the Korvax reformation of the Gek that broke the loop of the Atlas simulation and reactivated the hostile sentinels, because an illegal operation had occurred due to gradual data corruption

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 10:43 PM

#

make sense, modifying a whole species would be considered massive corruption, too bad genocide didn't also count as corruption of a race

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 10:43 PM

The Gek were supposed to die, but the Korvax were merciful

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 10:43 PM

the cycle of the atlas universe

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 10:44 PM

#

The sentinel “immune system” was like “wait... that wasn’t supposed to happen” and went berserk

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 10:44 PM

#

wonder if the breaking of the cycle is also the reason the last traveller is created

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 10:45 PM

#

Arguably Nada and Polo fleeing to the Anomaly is what most likely caused the containment failure and began the traveler convergence

#

They fled from the sentinel purge

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

nada was near dead when they fled too

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

Which happened after the Gek’s reformation

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 10:46 PM

#

polo must have been working on the anomaly for a while

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 10:49 PM

#

The sentinel purge was meant to wipe the slate clean after the error, after the Korvax prevented the annihilation of the Gek, destroying all sentient life in the galaxy in the span of about 30 minutes

#

But those two escaped... the prior iteration was not fully erased, and so, the new one began to overlap with countless remnants of older ones

#

And the walls began to crumble

#

The simulation is becoming unstable and is overloading Atlas, protocol 16 is a “reformat everything and start completely over” last resort to preserve Atlas

dire dagger Jan 5, 2021, 11:00 PM

#

funny how it happens around the same time that atlas is being shut down and dying

lean mountain Jan 5, 2021, 11:49 PM

#

Atlas has been a bit shaky for quite a few million cycles now, but all this happening at once, it’s just too much

#

This many deviations all at the same time

#

Think of it like an unreliable old hard drive, where sometimes the data it writes isn’t quite right, or it doesn’t fully erase things, but whatever, it’s always moving forward until it has to start over, and by then it will be inconsequential

#

But this... this basically created a buffer overflow. The starting number of lifeforms was not zero, so it’s thrown everything out of alignment and it’s reading old data alongside new data it’s creating because the starting pointer was never correctly initialized.

novel torrent Jan 6, 2021, 12:01 AM

#

Based on that, wouldn't the sentinels attack the anomaly

lean mountain Jan 6, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

They can’t see it

#

No one can except the traveler

#

Because it exists out of bounds, it’s past the data Atlas can access

novel torrent Jan 6, 2021, 12:03 AM

#

But it's inside the atlas

lean mountain Jan 6, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

It’s accessible using a pointer from within Atlas, but it exists in a sector of data that’s out of bounds

#

Only the traveler can use pointers like these because Atlas doesn’t need to use them normally

novel torrent Jan 6, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

So that's why when we reset it still exists?

lean mountain Jan 6, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

Yep

#

It always will, unchanging

novel torrent Jan 6, 2021, 12:04 AM

#

Do nada and polo suffer from the reset or no

#

I mean memories reset and stuff

dire dagger Jan 6, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

they some how lose memory of you

lean mountain Jan 6, 2021, 12:05 AM

#

Right, because their bodies are out of bounds, but their experience of life was still in bounds, and was erased

novel torrent Jan 6, 2021, 12:06 AM

#

But when the atlas will shut down, would they still exist?

dire dagger Jan 6, 2021, 12:06 AM

just because you can bail on the reset and it never counts down

lean mountain Jan 6, 2021, 12:21 AM

#

Interestingly, the Korvax may hold the answer to the true nature of the simulation, who built it, how, why

#

And the reason I suspect this is because of the simulation they managed to create within the simulation, that now resides in the anomaly

#

The one you can put Artemis inside of

#

The Korvax are a collective consciousness and intelligence, perhaps even a latent part of the Atlas itself

#

They may see things even the traveler cannot

dire dagger Jan 6, 2021, 1:54 AM

#

i only know this because I get the same message when I open atlas 3 doors every time, but the person who at least operates and talks to atlas outside of the simulation is hinted to look just like you

I’m not excusing the absolute atrocities that the Gek committed, cos they are disgusting. But I also don’t hold that as a grudge against them, for the same reason I don’t hold the holocaust against all Germans. Whether or not of their own volition, they did change, so I won’t hold the past against them

Because I’m sure there were outliers among the gek

lean mountain Jan 7, 2021, 7:54 AM

I mean that’s how a majority got into circulation

From the Gek Dominion Era

velvet patio Jan 7, 2021, 7:55 AM

#

Yes

lean mountain Jan 7, 2021, 7:55 AM

#

I mentioned every race has a key flaw and I never mentioned the one for the korvax

#

They are impersonal by design. They’re a hivemind like Legion from Mass Effect, or the Borg Collective

velvet patio Jan 7, 2021, 7:56 AM

#

Ye

#

They’re literally all the same person, pretty much

lean mountain Jan 7, 2021, 7:58 AM

#

The key difference is that each one is technically an individual, in the sense that their actions are as governed by their resident iteration, said iteration is installed in the body to perform a specific function in society, and once a new, better iteration at that task is completed, the old iteration is erased and the new one is installed.

velvet patio Jan 7, 2021, 7:58 AM

#

Imo the races weaknesses are
Gek-obsession( for either blood or money)
Vy’keen- pride
Korvax- impersonality
Sentinels- they’re so FUCKING ANNOYING

lean mountain Jan 7, 2021, 7:59 AM

#

Fun fact, sometimes you’ll bug a korvax pilot, and at first it says they seem confused, but then their visor turns off, then turns back on after a few moments, their iteration replaced with a trader

#

(all in text of course)

#

They’re constantly being swapped out and improved depending on what’s needed at the moment

Adding onto the Gek thing, I think we shouldn’t hold the deeds of their ancestors against the current Geks. Especially since they were changed by the Korvax, but also just because of time and evolution, the Geks we see today are a completely different species from the First Spawn-era Geks.

#

They have the same name and appearance, but other than that they’re completely different from the old ones. They don’t try to conquer anything, they don’t attack anyone (except for pirates, which every species has), and they try to be friendly to everyone as much as possible. I’m not saying what their ancestors did was right, but the current Geks are very different from them.

As hard as it was... I let Artemis go. Even if it would have given them “life” again, dooming them to an eternity inside of a simulation, alone, is perhaps a worse fate than death.

#

At least the way I see it

#

That whole sequence made me seethingly hate Null, he tricked me into capturing Artemis from the ether with the promise of their revival. He lied.

#

Because of him, Artemis’ death was painful, for a second time

#

Unforgivable.

#

Screw you, Null. I hope your own erasure from existence was just as much suffering.

lean mountain Jan 10, 2021, 10:39 AM

We’re the Nth iteration of Null, where N is a countably infinite number

Without emotion to speak of, other than his own preservation.

Yep. Make a base in this new one, then go to the Anomaly and visit one of the featured bases, they’re almost always in Euclid, the starting galaxy

Don’t forget to make a base first or it will be a huge pain to return.

You can easily travel between galaxies using Teleporters (those in space stations, built in your bases, or the space anomaly), as long as the Teleporter points are saved prior. It's recommended you have at least one base in the different galaxies. Also, in case this guide is of help for warping between galaxies (it's pinned in #nms-questions): <#nms-questions message>

because you only get a choice through the quest, mission The Purge. all you needed to do was to warp 16 times when that mission started, and then go to the atlas final interface. core warping the galactic core also "resets the sim", but does not give you a choice at all, it just core warps you to the next galaxy on the list: if you core warped euclid's core, then you will spawn in the hilbert dimension galaxy.

What even happens to the warp map when you’re at the edge? Do systems just get sparser and sparser until there’s nowhere left to jump to?

I think so

lean mountain Jan 13, 2021, 11:44 PM

I wonder if there are drifter systems at the very edge that ended up just barely too far away to reach at all

Maybe. You could mod the game to get there though if you really wanted

lean mountain Jan 13, 2021, 11:49 PM

Or figure out the portal coordinates maybe

#

Boy, that would be a cool thing to share, coordinates to a lonely system like 9kly+ from its nearest neighbor, impossible to warp to

Or even warp away from, for that matter

indigo spoke Is there even a difference between resetting the simulation and not resetting it...

not reseting = staying in euclid
reseting = going to a new universe

#

going to a new universe does not delete your progress or loosing your bases

#

it just means you have another galaxy to explore

uncut harness Jan 14, 2021, 8:53 AM

#

And you can still go between Euclid / whatever galaxy you get moved to by teleporters

#

As lons as you have a destination from other galaxy in your recent list in teleporter UI (or a base), you can teleport to it

#

So yeah, you're not losing anything

indigo spoke Jan 14, 2021, 9:02 AM

#

damn, so I didn't reset the universe in my save - but I still went to the core to go to another universe anyway

#

should I start a new save and just reset the sim. or is it not worth it?

prime inlet Jan 14, 2021, 9:08 AM

#

@indigo spoke warping a galactic core is basically doing the same thing as the quest: it's resetting the simulation, into another galaxy. Instead of giving the player 4 choices, it warps the player into the next galaxy on the list.

lean mountain Jan 16, 2021, 4:17 AM

#

@acoustic mist it is possible that, with the transistors to rival a human brain, the power of a Dyson sphere or other futuristic hyperstructure, and a detailed enough fabricated life experience imprinted onto it at runtime, it may behave in ways we humans cannot realistically differentiate from sentience. The hardware alone is not enough, the belief that it has developed and lived a life of its own, from which it has derived its perspective, opinions, and other such nuances, that is the key.

#

Sentience is a series of inputs and outputs feeding back into each other in a way that makes us aware of our own existence

#

That is not outright impossible to simulate

#

Or rather, EMULATE. We would be creating a brute force brain emulator

#

We don’t have to somehow create sentience in machine language at all

#

We can, with the theoretical power of a galactic scale civilization, create a series of logic gates large enough to just do the same operations in “bare metal”

#

The laws of physics would make it operate much slower than a real brain, as the space between each synapse would be orders of magnitude larger, leading to longer travel time for electrical impulses

#

And it must also be given a non-zero starting point. Otherwise it will not experience anything, it will not develop in isolation

#

Think of it like a mind-wiped brain in a jar. With no ability to experience stimulus, it cannot establish new connections, it cannot be aware of itself because it has no concept of self, and can’t have one without perception.

#

But in theory, if you could somehow force new connections, if you could program it, then you could create those prior perceptive experiences and lead a brain in a jar to become aware of its own existence.

#

You could even lie to it and tell it that it’s ANYTHING, and it will believe you

#

After all, what else does it know?

#

Same applies to a giant brain emulator. Set the gates in just the right way, power it on, and it “wakes up” believing the same thing that real brain would

#

The misconception at large is that sentience simply emerges from powerful enough hardware and a robust enough algorithm. Sentience is the emergent product of a body and mind working together to experience each other and the world.

#

But if you can create the same connections, factor in things like neural deviation, physical trauma and cell decay, at a 1:1 fidelity... there’s nothing stopping you from building something sentient, whether it’s a brain in a jar, or a “computer” constructed around a star

#

(It wouldn’t be a computer. Not the way we think of computers anyway. By that point it would be a metal brain.)

#

Aaaaaaaaaand I should have posted this in philosophy probably. Whoops!

onyx garnet Jan 16, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

How long does it take for someone to get through the story? I'm already 5 hours in and I'm jut a bit curious

uncut harness Jan 16, 2021, 5:55 AM

#

The biggest difference between sentient and computer thought is its ability to adapt. Computer software is reliant on human interference. The algorithms have to be written adapted updated. Ect. Sentient life can adapt just from its experience. If you could craft a algorithm that had endless possibilities on any experience it encounters than you have created a sentient being but until then it simply is just a computer. The amount of software it would take to create and support a algorithm like that has not been created yet and may never be. At least not on our planet. It’s very possible that in our universe it is created and alive though.

lean mountain Jan 16, 2021, 6:16 AM

#

Again, as a civilization with access to limitless materials and energy, why create a hyper-powerful CPU and spend eons translating brain “code” to conventional machine code, when you can take less time (but more resources) to analyze the grand structure of the brain, use a less complex algorithm to comb it for patterns that can be made redundant, and build a great big brain machine that directly mimics synaptic interaction itself with metal and silicon/graphene/ultracarbon instead of flesh?

#

Create new connections and you create memory space, inhibit or encourage certain patterns of impulses in certain regions and you have emotions, allow different parts to communicate through others in inefficient ways over long strings of pre-established connections and you have quirks, opinions, biases, and nearly everything else that makes us human.

#

This would be done in hardware, not software. There is no software, this is all hardware passing impulses to other hardware, based upon the fixed state the entire machine was started in, and cascading from there

#

“Programming” it would be like flipping half a googol worth of light switches before feeding it power, setting all these metal synapses into the correct positions. Sure you can wire them all up to a computer and program THAT to perform the necessary setup steps for you, but this “brain emulator” itself is not a processor, it has no instruction set. It is just as brutally simple as it sounds, millions of billions of physical logic gates, yet it MUST be so to be accurate enough.

#

After all, what better way to emulate something accurately... Than to just build an exact replica

so uh basically what is the fate of the universe?

im not sure if i understood properly

#

from what i gathered the atlas (from the real world) is being shut down and existence doesnt continue without it but then whats with the fleeing to another one about? im probably getting everyhting wrong here

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

@rancid flax The universe is dying. The simulation will soon shut down, and you can see the universe is decaying. Worlds are dying (Many dead planets are implied to have been regular planets that got invaded by bio-horrors), sea levels rising and killing life (In Dreams of the Deep quest), etc

mighty rampart Jan 16, 2021, 2:17 PM

also keep in mind the story isn't done yet and is ongoing

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:18 PM

Resetting the simulation is an attempt by the Atlas to keep itself alive, to ‘reset’ the countdown, but unfortunately that doesn’t reset the Atlas’ countdown

indigo smelt Jan 16, 2021, 2:23 PM

#

@rancid flax The world you’re in is a simulation, those can be sped up or slowed down and you would be none the wiser. 16 minutes is the time outside of the simulation, the time the atlas(a giant supercomputer that runs the simulation) thinks it will die. However, 16 outside, can be billions, trillions, or more years inside the simulation.

As for who or what is causing all of this, there’s an entity called “The Abyss”

rancid flax Jan 16, 2021, 2:35 PM

is the space anomaly somehow synced to be the same no matter where you enter it from

#

so all universes are linked to the same anomaly

indigo smelt Jan 16, 2021, 2:37 PM

#

No, the space anomaly is in the space between universes. What you summoned is the portal basically.

rancid flax Jan 16, 2021, 2:37 PM

makes sense

#

then i guess the outside isnt physically what outside of it is like then

i mean what if it was to be summoned in two places at once

indigo smelt Jan 16, 2021, 2:38 PM

Considering their past, the people at the anomaly are basically trapped there, or choose death.

#

Consider this: the anomaly is always at two or more places at once. There are copies of the portal in each universe.

rancid flax Jan 16, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

ok another question: does the universe reset or do you travel to a new one? i found lots of conflicting information about this

#

from a gameplay perspective you travel to a new one

#

base portals and all that

#

atlas also syas to null he only exploered one universe

#

but it also says there has been many resets before

indigo smelt Jan 16, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

Both?

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:46 PM

#

I believe each galaxy is a reset universe. Storywise, it’s mentioned that the Atlas is at the center of the galaxy and each time you travel to the center, you reset the universe and wake up in the new one

#

Gameplay wise, obviously you can’t reset everything or else that would mess with all the multiplayer stuff so they probably just made it so you travel to a new one instead but storywise it’s a reset universe

#

So in a sense, it’s both, yeah. Just depends on whether you ask from a story standpoint or a gameplay standpoint

rancid flax Jan 16, 2021, 2:47 PM

#

and you awake at the "16 minute mark"?

#

i mean its not like you are there at the beginning of the universe

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:48 PM

#

I read somewhere that each reset actually makes the countdown go faster, but I don’t remember seeing that ingame, so I think it’s safe to assume you wake up at the 16 minute mark

rancid flax Jan 16, 2021, 2:49 PM

#

well yeah resets do nothing to the countdown but what i meant is everything is already established within the universe

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

Yeah, everything is still established

rancid flax Jan 16, 2021, 2:51 PM

surely its not just an oversight by the developers

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

Good question, I don't know actually. I think it's so they don't have to write the lore about First Spawn and Hirk, etc 254 different times

#

Or have the established lore just be a minor thing because it's the lore for 1 single galaxy only, whereas the other 254 have no history

indigo smelt Jan 16, 2021, 2:52 PM

#

Well, Atlas knows that an unknown character is there to help the atlas at the final minute. Leaves me wondering whether or not the atlas is stuck at a perpetual 16 minute loop of dying and being reset from outside.

#

But even the Atlas does not know who.

cedar shell Jan 16, 2021, 2:53 PM

#

Yeah, I think the Atlas might be trapped in its 16 minute loop

indigo smelt Jan 16, 2021, 2:55 PM

Yeah, atlas knows there is a person outside because it happened once before. Makes sense to me.

Anyway, I have a question which has spoilers. What actual benefit does the next generation update give besides more generated stuff for higher end devices? Not trying to be rude, just very confused after reading the update notes...it seems nothing much else has changed for pc besides the graphical enhancements? Correct me if I'm missing something please

That is right

The main focus was bringing NMS to the new generation of consoles

rancid ether Jan 17, 2021, 5:30 PM

#

Oh yeah, you'll need to craft those atlas seeds at some point haha

prime inlet Jan 17, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

@shut spire they're two story lines. at the end of the atlas path, you will be asked if you want to birth a new star. to get both rewards available from the atlas path now, you should birth a new star. at the end of the artemis path (the purge mission), you will be able to reject atlas's request, or accept, and will be required to choose one of the orbs. each color represents one of the 4 galaxy types in the game. choosing one of these orbs will result in tech/upgrade mods installed in the general inventory of your gear (exosuit, current ship and current MT) becoming damaged, meaning tech or upgrade mods installed in the tech tab of the exosuit and ship will be immune. since MT don't have a tech tab, they can't be protected at all from this damage, and thus it's often suggested to equip a trash MT (a MT the player has no intention of repairing/using at all) before choosing any of the orbs.

shut spire Jan 17, 2021, 7:24 PM

So I'm back. Took a small break to do irl stuff. Birthed the new star. Got star seed. Ty for the direction. Now onto finishing the 16 jumps and center of the galaxy.
Moved the important stuff into tech tabs. And put the secondary multitool on.
I'm exited. Time to disappear from Euclid for a while. Until I find some community to play in 😂
Ty for the guidance. Much appreciated.

Minor point, but for folks that come to the Artemis decision, I think it's important to recognize that ||the original Artemis is already dead. Your decision is regarding their echo/ghost. You are neither extending nor cutting short the original's life.

You are simply letting a recording continue to play out, or erasing it.||

or even core warping, aka going through the galaxy list, one by one

#

that's probably an atlas station - not the atlas final interface that the player goes to at the end of The Purge

you only need to complete the atlas path once per save as well - even though it can be redone as many times as the player wants to, the player can get all of the rewards from it only once per save

Thus also explaining the water and Abyss

crisp fern Jan 21, 2021, 7:52 AM

#

but there's also the whole black hole tearing things apart

#

It was originally a reality simulation designed to be able to predict the future completely accurately, as an ontological proof to the reality of the creators itself being a simulation

#

It appears to have succeeded, but then gave no indications of who/what/how the reality sim the Atlas' creators were in was designed/built

#

There isn't necessarily any outside the simulation

#

And if all it was doing was also simulating its reality, then the reality that we're mucking about through would look pretty similar to what we already see within

#

Setting aside sim deterioration and such anyway

rancid ether Jan 21, 2021, 7:58 AM

#

Idk, I took a super simple approach to what it meant.
16/16 is the preceding mission to The Purge, and 16^16 == 2^64, which is the number of planets in the universe.
My assumption was that "16 minutes remaining" was just a cryptic way to say the universe was collapsing back.
I also didn't look too hard into it though

alright, so make it full of metallic body instead of meat

lean mountain Jan 23, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

I mean clearly Atlas is some kind of decentralized meta-intelligence if it can be in every interface at once, assuming it has any kind of body is missing the point I think

#

What you can interact with in the interface is basically just a chat window, we’re at too low a level in the simulation to really access anything more than that

#

It’s some sort of hypervisor

#

It seems to be in charge of how the algorithm is interpreted, error checking, recording the findings of travelers via the interfaces

#

It needs travelers because the galaxy it created is larger than it itself can observe in any reasonable capacity. It has the sentinels for basic peacekeeping and error correction but they’re extremely simplistic, to be light enough on resources to where they can be effectively infinite

#

Travelers are far more complex and can act autonomously, so with a single iteration active at once, they’re the perfect way to collect detailed information on individual star systems, planets, flora and fauna, you get the idea

#

(I feel like this is why Null is so bitter; he took Atlas’ instructions as a challenge and over uncountable millennia, he indeed saw everything, but instead of some kind of reward, Atlas basically just confirmed that he did his job and shut him down, beginning iteration 1 in his place after a galactic reset)

@chilly drift kinda been datamined

#

but we never knew if it was gonna be in the game

#

just like turrets

chilly drift Jan 26, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

it's not confirmed 100%

#

but there is a good chance it is

#

Wonder how it's going to be integrated tho

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

maybe it is already ?

#

and no one tried yet?

#

in experimental

chilly drift Jan 26, 2021, 2:28 PM

#

Maybe tangerine_think

#

@chilly drift The icon is new as of today's patch so it sorta suggests to me that it's highly likely to be coming

chilly drift Jan 26, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

I'm more playing Ghost Of Tsushima and Cyberpunk lately, im not aware of everything happening ingame or experimental

wild iris Jan 26, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

i mean why would they add a new icon if they had no plans of adding the feature

chilly drift Jan 26, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

Yeah and Sean tweeting a lot + big experimental patch + 4 months no new updates = New update incoming

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:29 PM

#

a lot of stuff are in the files that never got into the game but this shows its probably gonna be in the game

#

Hey guys, just a reminder that HG has added icons for things before that never got added. Not saying pets wont ever happen. I'm thinking of ambient mode. they added it to the game years ago, then added an icon for the mode select screen after NEXT came out... then nothing

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

difference is ambient mode doesent do shit

#

this does

rough copper Jan 26, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

What do you mean? It's a mode lol.

chilly drift Jan 26, 2021, 2:30 PM

#

What is ambient mode ?

rough copper Jan 26, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

A mode where you are a camera that is infinitely moving forward on planets/ in space

#

just observing

#

if you like a certain place, you can press a button and it switches to creative mode

#

"doesnt do shit"

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

it short yeah

#

its not meant for us players

rough copper Jan 26, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

Because they never released it? why they make a main menu icon?

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:32 PM

#

maybe because its for developer mode?

rough copper Jan 26, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

Wouldn't it be called debug cam or something?

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

check if everything is alright and not something fuckt up happening when ur in a party and terrain doesent really work

#

if its not available for players its available for devs

#

would be dumb if it wasnt also for hello games

rough copper Jan 26, 2021, 2:33 PM

#

ok Jordan

#

I think it would be cool if they put in the bit of extra effort to make it a proper mode, lots of people would enjoy it.

#

You ever try to access it with VR and save editor? It's pretty awesome. The only issues are that it messes up sometimes with the transitions, and theres just like two music tracks that loop.

#

Why would HG add music to a dev tool?

chilly drift Jan 26, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

Ask the dev team

hybrid pendant Jan 26, 2021, 2:36 PM

#

they wont reply soo
