@willow hamlet I only have an option to milk them...

You have to adopt it first

#

If you're on PC/Steam, there may be a fix for this up on experimental

#

My issue was more with biological pets, who can apparently hold their breath indefinitely.
If a swim gait would be too hard to make, the pet should stay by the shore.

full pendant
#

you right

gloomy isle
#

Ngl I'm kinda surprised by the ai

#

My pet runs off in front of me and comes back when he wants attention

#

And goes to sleep if I idle

fathom notch
#

yeah. that stuffs really good

#

i got a bug buddy and their face sorta folds over itself, like since they got no eyelids they just kinda stand upright and shade their eyes to nap

gloomy isle
#

I guess different pets do different stuff to help too

fathom notch
#

that too. i like that they have a goofy-ass furby language

gloomy isle
#

Same! I'm already unhealthily attatched to mine

fathom notch
#

the procgen name i got was Bestelle

#

i think it's funny so im keeping it

gloomy isle
#

Mine got called Weepinny

willow hamlet
#

So with the eggs stuff it seems like the following

Growth Hormone - Elements either increase or decrease this stat which will make the creature larger or smaller than it's parent.

Gene Splitter - Any element makes this unstable. Will need more testing to see if different elements change different things. On Xaine's stream he used a larval core and it changed his Diplo into a giant rat. I used Sodium and it only changed the smaller features. More testing is needed.

Die Injector - Any element makes this unstable which will change the colors.

Neural Calibrator - Different elements affect the different traits that the creature has either increasing or decreasing the trait that it affects.
gloomy isle
willow hamlet
#

The Neural Calibrator stats are the complicated ones... they define the temperament of the creature. Some are more playful, some are more aggressive (apparently in the experimental update aggressive creatures will attack hazardous plants)... From what I can tell each creature has 3 traits that affect it.

#

Like one of my robots is Helpful, Gentle, and Independent. My Triceratops is Playful, Gentle, and Devoted.

Just from the creatures I have it looks like there are 3 stat slots and each has 2 options for what it will be

  1. Playful or Helpful
  2. Gentle or Aggressive
  3. Devoted or Independent
#

And then each of those has a percentage range it will be. This is my Triceratops for example

violet narwhal
#

4 levels for each, I think.

willow hamlet
violet narwhal
#

Yeah

willow hamlet
#

Yeah, that seems about right.

gloomy isle
#

Seems like a good amount of thought has gone into this!

willow hamlet
#

Yeah, I think so... I just wish the attachments that you put on them actually did something.

gloomy isle
#

Yeah same

#

How does the mining laser thing work? I saw a video in the update but I'm not sure if it's the one you put on it

raw mulch
#

The creatures occasionally mine when they're happy. I assume petting or feeding them after they do so will encourage them to do it more.

willow hamlet
#

So far i don't think it does anything besides look cool... anytime mine gave harvested anything they dig it up and leave a crystal on the ground

willow hamlet
#

True, which gives me hope for everything else. lol

raw mulch
#

I have seen my pet mine with the laser, so the square laser definitely works. (Though I think it gave a valuable item instead of the relevant resource)

trim dune
#

man, i hope they adjust the timers... the best thing about this update is locked behind a 3 day timer...

vast pasture
#

Remember if there is any issues that arise, ping a mod please.

willow hamlet
raw mulch
#

Yes, after going over to where the rock was before it was destroyed. It then returned and dropped the item at my feet.

willow hamlet
#

interesting. I will have to try that out.

raw mulch
#

I'm not fully certain if it was actually going up to the rock or randomly moving around, though.

cyan parcel
#

I wonder if the eggs can be item-duped... I assume so.

lol, that would be interesting

So I am towards the end of the living ship questline. I now have the soul jar and have copied my save for a permanent backup. I have never seen the inside of a living ship and haven't really even seen that many, are they classed just like normal ships or what am I looking for in a "good one"?

sacred rune
#

all living ships are S-class, 22+21 slots

#

AFAIK the main thing people reroll for are colors

#

inv can't be upgraded

#

it's annoying

That... is a bit annoying. But I just finished fully upgrading my exotic so I think I will survive

willow hamlet

Xaine's test resulted in a similar body but completely different neck and head

Numa slapped a sentinel for me.

Good girl

#

GUYS

#

I am harvesting eggs, and the abominations are too afraid to attack me

#

My giant teddy bear must be intimidating

crisp fern
vague badge
#

I can confirm your pets can scare off predators, including abominations

#

I had abominations trying to eat me, summoned my pet, and it's almost like I turned invisible

#

Egg farming is gonna be a lot easier

rancid ether
#

I told someone earlier that there were no sentinel defenses and now im not sure if i should feel bad for giving wrong info or be excited that the pets will just lay the smackdown on sentinels while at my base.

it's okay to be wrong sometimes, none of us know everything

what happens if you visit the center of the same galaxy twice?

#

No eggs are worth defending against an interloper with an Ewok Titan as a bodyguard

vague badge
#

Has anyone tried crashing the servers by bringing max players together, each with a gigantic diplo?

sacred rune
#

why woudl a larger creature crash the servers? shouldn't the data be roughly the same filesize across all pets

vague badge
#

Most things in this game are client based I think

#

So i am just curious what will be affected

sacred rune
#

but a creature having a larger model doesn't mean the data itself is larger

#

client issues are possible, server issues are unlikely, though I don't know NMS's code specifically

vague badge
#

I have client issues just going to the galactic hub lol

#

I wanna bring my Ewok Titan there

sacred rune
#

yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they need to do another pass on the rendering code

vague badge
#

What I did notice is the rendering is faster

#

Usually my textures blur in multiplayer areas, like the anomaly, but everything has stayed pretty clean

#

Prior to the update there was no hope for textures for me

placid igloo
#

this is probably a dumb question but do systems and planets in odyalutai still get updated, even though it's not a proper galaxy? also since it doesn't have a galaxy type, would it probably just have the same biome probabilities as norm? (uh, or should i ask this in #nms-questions instead? not sure if this counts as a spoiler)

heady wyvern
#

@placid igloo Its planet seeds are likely being run through the current algorithms, so probably yes.

peak prairie

I caught a bug!

Do animals attack you with your pet out?

#

I wanna know if it's just me, or that my pet is scaring them off

drifting pulsar
#

I'm an idiot, just figured out the pet gear is more then decoration. Had a pet use the laser, and scan the area so far, anything more they can do with the gear?

late palm
#

@half blaze

Randomly, all biomes have a chance but some are unique to "alien" biome types.

For the weirder creatures

willow hamlet
late palm
#

The alien ones have particularly weird animals

half blaze
#

What about the anomaly planets? :o

drifting pulsar
#

So far untamable

vague badge
#

I'll grab a still of mine's stats in a sec

Anomaly planets just have their nuniques

have not tried to tame any Poke

drifting pulsar
#

Anyone got a list for pet gear effects?

vague badge
half blaze
#

Well luckily i know a few weird planets, so i'll go to them to see what new animals they have after origin came out

late palm

They likely changed

I had a heart attack when i went to one of my mining colonies only to find out it became a greyscaled infested wasteland :')

But no bug-like fauna somehow

willow hamlet
#

@vague badge Are you on Experimental by any chance?

Nope, xbox

#

I need to drop out but I am sure others have input @half blaze , or you can DM me and we can chat later.

half blaze
#

Mhm

vague badge
#

@willow hamlet Why do you wanna know if I'm on experimental? Did they already drop something else?

remote charm
#

huh

#

I wonder why they made the slots so cheap?

willow hamlet
#

There are some bug fixes and the fixed it so aggressive creatures will attack hazardous flora

remote charm
#

I thought I'd see get one free, buy another for 100 and a sliding scale up to some 10k nanites or something

vague badge
#

Ohh haha

willow hamlet
#

I was just wondering if that is what was making it attack the sentinel

vague badge
half blaze
#

Heard there were sand worms, can you tame them too? :o

vague badge
#

Nope

willow hamlet
#

interesting...

half blaze
#

Aw

drifting pulsar
#

It you equip them with the gun, anything seems to blast hazard plants

vague badge
#

I gotta go get groceries, I'll be back later tonight to test play with the pets more.

I think my next pet is going to be the 8.2 contest winning size strider for the Galactic Hub

That will make a dope mount

#

I'm currently looking up the strider i mentioned

willow hamlet
#

I think once I make it to the center of this galaxy I will jump over to a lush and look around for a diplo

drifting pulsar
#

How tall can a Diplo be? I do have a unreported cobra head diplo

vague badge
#

8.3 meters, not 8.2, my mistake

vague badge
willow hamlet
vague badge
#

My pet was 6.3 meters when I first tamed her, but she defaulted to 4.3 meters

#

That might be the maximum height acceptable for pets specifically, because she was definitely 6.3 when I first scanned

#

I still lover her sentinel slapping ass, so I'm just gonna ignore that unless she continues shrinking.

placid latch
#

Do creatures age into death?

vague badge
#

Doubt it

placid latch
#

But a juvenile will eventually reach adulthood I take it?

vague badge
#

Yes, best bet so far is to keep them happy and fed

placid latch
#

Bloody good update.

vague badge
#

My best assumption is that it'll take 24 hours for your pet to mature, like ot does for an adult to lay an egg

willow hamlet
rancid ether
remote charm
#

Oh that's new

#

they changed the creature icons from dots to actual foot prints

#

so much easier to spot now

#

(when using the scanner

willow hamlet
#

Yeah, it's very nice

remote charm
#

btw to adopt a pet all you have to do is feed one?

#

@willow hamlet

willow hamlet
#

Yep

remote charm
#

then you naturally get eggs?

willow hamlet
#

feed it and then interact with it (E on PC) and it will have an option to adopt

remote charm
#

I wonder why they made it so easy?

willow hamlet
#

The egg you have to wait for 24 hours and then take it to it's native climate to get an egg

remote charm
#

you mean take the creature to it's native climate?

#

so if I'm already on a planet with the creature wouldn't that be it's native climate?

willow hamlet
#

Not necessarily... The ones I got on a radioactive planet had a native climate of humid so I have to take it to a lush.

remote charm
#

oh I see now what they meant earlier then

#

wait then can you tell before you adopt?

uncut harness
#

It's worth noting there's a difference between getting eggs that are cooking ingredients

#

And eggs used to actually breed the pets

#

The basic option that becomes available after feeding is the 1st one I believe

remote charm
#

well, you can't capture sea creatures either 😦

#

I found super weak ones that die as soon as I bump into them lol

uncut harness
#

And there's the opposite on exotic planets

#

You know the "butterflies" that you can find on shell exotic biomes?

#

Like these guys

remote charm
#

neat!

uncut harness
#

You can't tame them, but you can feed them

#

And once you do, they fly to you

remote charm
#

interesting

uncut harness
#

And knock you all over the place

#

You can not stand still in 1 place

remote charm
#

the parrots I have here you can't catch. They land but as soon as you get near them they take off and run

#

same for the flying beetle

#

although the flying beetle at least lets you stand next to him before he flies off

#

ok that's so strange

#

you can summon your pet like a ship

#

I can see them in a future update one day using an AI to do procedural speech for the animals. I'm sure at some point it will take a dark turn

uncut harness
#

They are already talking back to you, but I doubt there's a full AI behind that

sudden pond
#

@uncut harness i have a diplo that keeps bumping into me and sending me flying ^^;

uncut harness

Oof, but I guess you can kinda move away from it

You're a Korvax before the ||Disconnection,|| stranded on a planet. You run to a nearby forest for cover.

static junco
#

can you tame pets on exotic planets?

iron tide
#

i think yes

iron tide
static junco
#

I guess I should have been specific. I know I tried to get the butterfly thing on a finned planet. Guess flyers are a no?

#

and is it as simple as just throwing pellets at them?

iron tide
#

for flying pets you need to stalk them i think

crisp fern
#

pretty sure if it's a flying creature waaay in the air, you just can't adopt them

#

the butterfly thing in particular is an anomalous animal, i think, so that's a no

static junco

oh.....so you can't adopt any anomalous animal? was really wanting to get one of the cable pods

yeah nah

Nice robot

#

Do they take pellets too, or do you still have to feed them the robot variant?

uncut harness
#

Good question

#

The change log mentioned getting rid of all specialized bait

#

What was the bait for these guys again? Ion batteries?

summer talon
#

Yep

#

Ion batteries to tame them, and then they'll eat creature pellets on any other world

#

I've noticed that if I throw creature pellets on the ground to attract other animals, sometimes my pet robot will race ahead and eat them too

vague badge
#

Maybe it's because I immediately feed her when her bar goes yellow

summer talon
#

My robot animal kicked a roaming sentinel and one-shot destroyed it, so I tried having it run around while I was in the middle of the battle and it just jumped about like a puppy

uncut harness
#

Hm I know that they can destroy Sentinels but I wonder if they can kill Horrors

summer talon
#

I haven't had any luck with that yet on a Nexus Mission

uncut harness

Yeah my most aggressive pet (70% i think) just kept it‘s distance while I was murdering horrors

@willow hamlet I have a question regarding your work with breeding/eggs. Do we know if the materials are consitent? if i use, say, ferrite dust 5 times on different animals, will it add/subtract the same thing for both?

also, does it have the same affect every time, when on the same animal?

I'm legit beginning to worry that they didn't include any items for the middle two sections of the egg sequencer 😦

snow stream
#

It could be that they do, but they didn’t want it to actually say anything directly, meaning someone would have to manually try everything and see what the actual end result is.
I wouldn’t put it past them since they like to do flavor text stuff

but then why have two of them say what they do? you'd think it would be all four of them mysterious or none of them

I item-duped an egg and then edited the genes in one of them and when I finished all of the eggs had the same edits. Interesting...

And then the game crashed and when I loaded it back up, my original edited egg was changed into a void egg and the clones remained unedited... 👀

viral sapphire
#

I spliced 1 egg 3 times

cold panther
#

the best way to test the splicing i guess is to wait until it is ready, splice it then with the saving and reloading to see the differences of doing one egg multi times...maybe just the last one sticks

cyan parcel
#

It autosaves when you splice I think?

cold panther
#

manual saves

On your freighter outside the anomaly, yeah, good call

that's actually not a bad idea to see if you can get different traits and stuff

since i've not messed with changing the timers (yet) i'm going to likely save and try a few things...stupid time gated things

we can trade eggs too which is great

So I have a living ship and have been pulsing around a lot, hunting asteroids to get anomaly detectors and have not had any different encounters... How are you supposed to get system upgrades for the living ship, I assumed it would be through random encounters, or do they actually have to be random encounters and not forced with the anomaly detector?

So reading a little of the release notes on living ships, it says certain encounters will be more common in certain systems, so if I find an upgrade for my living ship in a system, should I stick to that system to find more upgrades?

remote charm
uncut harness
remote charm
#

It can happen I'm sure

sudden pond
worn cape
#

just trying to get a feel for how the system works, I don't want to minmax it by jumping to known upgrade locations or anything like that

sudden pond
#

well the way it works: each system has a set order to the 'random' encounters

#

every time you reload in a system, youll get the same ones in the same order

worn cape
#

Are the upgrade specs locked per system or is the upgrade randomized?

sudden pond
#

what you get from the egg is random, ya

#

and in case you missed it you can upgrade the class by 'evolving' them

#

so you dont need to worry about getting s class drops

worn cape
#

430 nanites to go from A to S... that is a steal

sudden pond
#

if youre swimming in nanites, ya 😛

#

which you should be when you get the ship but many try to rush it

worn cape
#

24k nanites currently

sudden pond
#

plenty lol

worn cape
#

Do the encounters need to be organic or can they be forced with anomaly detectors?

sudden pond
#

anomaly detectors are truely random as far as i know

#

they wont give the 'set' ones

worn cape
#

Okay, let's see if I have this right. I visit a system where I have freshly loaded the game and visited the system for the first time that load and the first encounter in that system was a LS upgrade, that means save that system because loading it in the future means the first natural encounter in that system will be a random upgrade?

#

(as long as I am piloting a LS that is)

sudden pond
#

ya

#

but why get one upgrade per reload when you could get 9 ^^;

#

with that link i linked

worn cape
#

because the system I found is my system that I found, it is actually the system where I got one of my pets. I have a connection to it and I have a connection to my living ship. It's just a system or two from where I got my LS. Instead of minmaxing, popping into my ship's old stomping grounds before it joined my journey just feels better, feels like my ship is hunting what it knows.

Hi guys, is there a definitive primer to breeding yet? Also, i don’t understand how pet stats work, I have pets with 99% aggression that just sit and watch me get eaten by local fauna.

Did you put the laser on your pet?

#

each pet has 2 slots you can add items to, I think they have different effects, so if you want an aggressive pet to defend you, you may want to put the correct accessories on

It seems there are also community research unlocks for pet accessories as well

uncut harness

On early game I'd recommend buying what you can afford and has better stats

#

Given the small difference in pricing, I'd buy and add to collection

#

If you grow tired of that A-class, you can scrap it later on

#

On late game, you can go purely for the looks

#

Since we can upgrade inventory size, class, stats, install all kinds of tech upgrades

But we don't have ship customization in the game

egg sequencing notes:

You can run the same egg through the sequencer multiple times and the effects are additive. I ran an egg through 9 times that had 90% gentleness and each time I fed it 11 indium which increased aggression by 20. the resulting creature (9x20=180, 90-180= -90) had 90 aggression, which meant each sequencing gave it +20 aggression as expected. However, I overloaded the anatomy each time and only ever got the same overloaded anatomy change once. Which means there's a cap on how much the anatomy can change and you can hit that cap in your first sequence with a 150% overload. I haven't messed with color yet, but size also increased by 20 kg up to a certain point. My creature started at 39 kg and the first size bump gave it +20, the second gave it +20, the third gave it +20, and the fourth gave it +20 bringing it to 119 kg, but the fifth bump capped at 130.0 kg, and the sixth and subsequent size changes didn't increase it past 130. So it seems that you can add size each sequence but only to a certain cap, probably depending on species but I'm going to do some more testing on the numbers.

also, do not item-dupe your eggs. It doesn't work. If you dupe your eggs and give one away, the copies you kept become useless. If you destroy any copies you have before the egg hatches, the rest of the eggs become useless. If you hatch one, the copies become useless. It seems that there is no way through the anomaly-duping glitch to double your eggs. You can still edit one and hatch it, but the duped ones will be useless.

Different items give specific different colors. I am expanding on this logic to the body mutation and size modifiers, different items affect different body parts, so re-mutating using the same item will just give the same result. Haven't had anybody do testing on this but it feels logical to me

Boy I hope not, that'd be so sloppy

#

They weren't under any pressure to release an update

worn cape
#

No, but if they were waiting on a few little details of a feature that shouldn't have a chance of being accessed for 2 weeks then I could see them releasing it before the final touches are done

crisp fern
#

One could argue the living ship update was similarly designed to act as padding till the Desolation & Origins updates...

#

I wouldn't put it past them to have done likewise with this update

cyan parcel
#

Did they drop more features into living ship at a later date? I can't remember the timing.

crisp fern
#

Desolation added anomaly detectors as I recall, making the encounters easier to find than just pulse and pray

worn cape
#

But anomaly detectors specifically do not help living ships....

crisp fern
#

@worn cape how would they not?

worn cape
#

Because AFAIK they have a set list of random events that does not include the void egg event

crisp fern
#

well that's silly if true

worn cape
#

I tried dozens of anomaly detectors and had not come across a single void egg. Someone in this chat, or channel, said that anomaly detectors cannot trigger the events for void eggs as they have their own set list of random events. Each system has a set list of anomaly events that happen in sequence after a save game is loaded, finding a system where the first event is a void egg and then landing, exiting ship to save, exiting to main menu, reloading the save and pulsing again is the best way to farm void eggs

crisp fern
#

wow great design 😒

worn cape
#

Jumping from system to system, saving and reloading in each system to see what the first event is is the best way to find what system has the void egg first. IDK if true but some systems also seem to trigger the event sooner. one system I have triggers the event within 20-30 seconds, the other closer to 50 seconds of pulsing

#

and yea, I really agree, the set schedule of events in each system is an incredibly poor design decision

crisp fern
#

Doing some more research, the Anomaly Detector apparently can pick up on the living ship upgrade encounter, but since it seems to draw from the whole pool of them or something, it doesn't make it any more efficient than locating an upgrade encounter heavy system, if I'm following correctly.

worn cape
#

I mean, if you get an anomaly detector to hit on one void egg, you get the one void egg. You find a system with the first event being a void egg, you have infinite void eggs.

crisp fern
#

which is just booooring

worn cape
#

yes, but not nearly as much boring as having to use 300 anomaly detectors to get 9 upgrades

crisp fern
#

right, it's a lose-lose situation

worn cape
#

both systems are incredibly broken

crisp fern
#

yeah

worn cape
#

Really the upgrade should come through experience with the ship. Exploration to new systems for scanner upgrades, fighting pirates for weapons upgrades, experience with the ship should grow the living ship based on the experience

#

Let the living ship.... live

crisp fern
#

tbh we're just lucky they didn't make the upgrades appear as the living ship matured over the course of half a month

worn cape
#

personally my next playthrough, or a playthrough style I would suggest for streamers, is making a home base in such a system that gives the egg the event for the first pulse, then just doing that pulse once a day and leaving it at that

#

I would be more than fine with that

#

I almost think there are some mechanics with the ship that are yet undiscovered but I may be putting too much faith in the devs

#

They just seem.... unfinished

crisp fern
#

considering portals existed but didn't work until Atlas Rises, it's probably safer to go with some things just aren't there to be discovered =/

worn cape
#

Idk. New updates bring new mechanics. There are still mechanics I see and experience yet do not understand. They could sneak updates in to old mechanics and just wait for users to experience them

their colours also become significantly more likely to change if they have changed in the past

#

Macro-Macro is the furthest along here, with about 11% helpfulness, 50% gentleness and 100% independence

#

an interesting little experiment regardless. and plus, i figured that anatomy changes are always the same regardless of material and dosage

#

as long as it's the same creature and as long as it's a full-strength overdose, it will create the same variant every time, save for colour palette differences (which can also be weighted to ensure consistency)

I need some help with something that contains ||spoilers||

#

||so basically, I’m nearing the end of the Artemis storyline where it says that everything is a simulation and that everything is going to reset in 16 minutes, will this affect my save if I make the wrong choice?||

#

No wrong choices, just different ones

#

Your save is safe enough, regardless. Enjoy the experience, don't worry.

Here to submit my single data point. Activated indium seems to be a strict size up and does not favor one body part over the other

Will try again with a second egg today to confirm

Ooh, found a bug

I think playfulness effects the ears in my canine

I decreased gentleness and it became.... industrious?

#

Okay, it is official, pets do NOT take 2 weeks to grow up when freshly hatched, just had my first second generation companion become ready to give an egg naturally with no time warps or cheats

#

That was an egg from my first pet that I got on the day of the update, so 24 hours for it to be able to lay an egg, 24 hours for it to hatch, mean... 96 hours for a hatched egg to reach adulthood

Think it depends on the pet, i have one that already started laying eggs, and one that's on day 3 now and is still a baby...

folks: i've finally got my ship transfer glitch working, and it fucks

#
  1. land in the space station with whatever ship you want to transfer the inventory and rank FROM

  2. scrap a ship (any will do, first that flies in, fuck it) and wait for another ship you own to be summoned

  3. change the second ship into what you want to transfer the inventory and rank TO. if the one you want's been summoned, just skip this

3a. arrange your TO ship so that it's closest to the scrapping station, like on the left side of the landing pads, front row

  1. scrap your FROM ship and very quickly run to your TO ship. if you don't get there before another ship is summoned from your roster you will totally bunk it! reload your autosave until you get it right

  2. voila. you may have to reload a save for it to display correctly, but the stats and inventory will have been copied over part-for-part

#

you'll lose the other ship in the process but it will be accurately cloned, upgrade for upgrade, slot for slot, everything

#

only thing that may not change is the stats cuz that's shipseed-dependent, but still!

#

i have not tested this on living ships and i probably wont, but i tested it with my Rasamama S50 and a shuttle i found and it worked perfectly, went from 19-4 b-class to 25-7 a-class

Our scanner is Telamon, right?

We should let it hack sentinels and make them combat pets

That would be kinda op. Imagine walking around with a sentinel walker, and it sort of defeats the whole purpose of the sentinels as enemies.

I don't think telamon has access rights to the sentinel protocol :p

Yeah we don't really know who does anyways

also, I wouldn't trust Mr. "I will wear them, in time" with a laser pointer, nevermind a sentinel drone

Wait a second, I emoted that I needed help and my pet said something and when I hovered over it it said it was follwing orders....

Before I completely ruin my game - I'm at the portal right now for A Leap in the Dark - it makes it sound like I'm about to start over? What happens when I go through that portal?

worn cape
#

Your tech in your multitool will break, so will some on your ship, any outside the technology tab I believe. It is sorta like a restart, but just requiring you repair a bunch of stuff.

fringe acorn
#

Is there a reason I would want to do that?

#

I just started lol

worn cape
#

Wait, I was thinking of the wrong quest

#

I don't think it will break anything

fringe acorn
#

But it does sound like it said I'm about to start over....

worn cape
#

what does it say?

fringe acorn
#

I passed the text already

#

Something about making a leap of faith

#

finding out who I am meant to be

#

and I could either input the glyphs or turn back

#

and then when I input them a portal opened

worn cape
#

Nothing bad will happen if you go through it

fringe acorn
#

what happens?

worn cape

a conversation

I mean, that's it, that's what happens, it leads to a conversation with atlas.

Sanity check. Does the visor scanner work past the distance it says but just doesn't display the distance or direction, but relies on sound to point you to the nearest hotspot of that type? The sound def is stereo and directional, but you can run in any direction and eventually you will hit a hotspot so...

uncut harness
#

aight so

#

my ass got to the very end

#

i decided to refuse

#

do i have to jump all the way to the center of the galaxy now? it feels like it's gonna take fucking forever to get there

indigo smelt
uncut harness
#

right

#

which is the fastest

indigo smelt
#

Use the portal, get coordinates of the closest thing to the center, then jump to the center.

#

Keep in mind that everything may break, all your tech would need repair, including ship.

uncut harness
#

Right

#

Wait you mean seek a portal's coordinates out from Polo

#

And do that?

indigo smelt
#

No, you just have to find the right coords on the internet.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

uncut harness

could be worse

#

I used a save editor to bump up my freighter's jump range to insane levels. I guess you could do that. My freighter's jump range allows me to go to the center in two/three jumps from origin.

uncut harness
#

i dont have access to it

#

😔

worn cape
#

You should be able to just seek another atlas station and continue, that is what I did because I refused at the same point

#

So go to the nexus and ask the dude there

#

For 200 hours of playing the game I honestly thought when it said create a star I was going to create an actual star system where I could warp to and make a base, I saved it thinking I could make that star system in a special location....

Maybe I need to go seek another

What galaxy do i choose

indigo smelt
steady osprey
#

Hmmm

#

Im either gonna go lush or harsh

indigo smelt
#

If you are in Euclid, Lush will lead to Eissentam BTW.

steady osprey
#

Epic

#

thanks

#

i might just do lush because most players are in it

indigo smelt
#

Eissentam is actually 2nd most populous. Euclid is 1st. Doesn't matter, you can switch galaxies anyway.

steady osprey
#

yeah

#

How would i go to calypso though

indigo smelt
#

If you have a base at both, switching is easy.

#

Calypso is the harsh galaxy and the 3rd galaxy.

steady osprey
#

if i went to esseintam is there anyway to go back to calypso? Or should i go to calypso first and make my way to esseintam

indigo smelt
#

I guess you could do: Euclid -> go to center -> Hilbert -> go to Center -> You are now in calypso.

#

Either that, or use a taxi(another player basically).

steady osprey
#

yeah

#

i might just go to esseintam and do what you said, go back to euclid and go to the centre

#

thanks

Asking in spoliers because this seems kinda spoiler-ish. The random NPCs that are standing around the nexus that normally just give the same old response today suddenly started giving me gifts. An ion capacitor from one, a planetary chart from another and they talked about how I would one day repay it to them. The last I talked to asked for a walker brain but I did not have it so left to get it and came back, but he reverted to the same old "perhaps I should come back another day" prompt.....

#

What is this because I used to visit them religiously every day and the suddenly they do something, but now nothing

steady osprey
#

Im a bit confused rn

#

Everytime you go to the centre of a galaxy do you get a void egg?

#

I bought one and had it cracking, got to the galaxy centre twice and now i have 3 cracking eggs

#

Does this mean im able to get 3 living ships or something?

sacred rune
#

it's not supposed to duplicate AFAIK, but it does seem to. ... so that's what did it? I ended up with an extra one too

#

but even without accidental dupes, you can get more living ships, I think it's one egg and ten thousand nanites instead of one egg and the longass quest for subsequent ones

steady osprey
#

hey so.

#

whenever i try to get to the center of the galaxy to switch galaxies

and removes itself and plots a new one whenever i exit

it make another path

@slow furnace @kind salmon SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISH ARTEMIS PATH

||basically when you reach the galactic core, you will be prompted with the option to "reset" the universe but it's, technically talking, is just moving to the next galaxy, you can choose 4 options: Lush, Harsh, Empty and Norm; every one of them have their own differences in biome generation. If you choose Harsh galaxy, you will then be moved to the next harsh galaxy, or if you choose Normal, then you will be moved to the next one. I need to mention that there's no way to jump to a specific galaxy. For example if you want to reach Eissentam, you will have to move through some galaxy to reach it; Eissentam, is the 10th, and is a lush galaxy, so you will have to cycle through the previous galaxies and when you're in the penultimate galaxy you choose Lush to be sent into it. An easier method to get to Eissentam is joining a friend that is in there|| [Note that I'm not the wiki, so this information may not be correct at all, but that's basically it]

this is like the article in the wiki for reference

Yeah...

#

Like just knowing he'll be trapped in a simulation and he didn't even know it at first...

velvet patio
#

Yeah

noble veldt

He was just so happy that he was finally free just to know that he would be trapped again...

#

Man I did that mission in TEARS

#

Gawd.

#

And he just messaged me.

#

I think I just ended up switching him off eventually, I felt so bad for keeping him in the simulation

I didn’t wanna lose him tho...

So you let him die?!?!

I was so sad

...

He said he was in pain because of the knowledge of his existence

I mean I would ask him what he wanted to do.

#

Ah I see.

But then later on he asked me to tell him the truth about where he was

noble veldt
#

So you lied to him?

#

At first?

#

Wait brb.

Initially yes, because someone (can’t remember who Rn) said he’d be in pain if he ever found out, but eventually he ended up guessing the truth and asking to be turned off...

#

I was so sad...

#

I just wanted a friend lol, and he ended up trapped in a simulation

noble veldt
#

Yeah me too.

#

I used to be like " Yeah later in the story he'll be like my travel companion " (couple missions later) "WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN!!! 😢 "

Man the choice of whether to let him die peacefully or keep him happily (at least initially) trapped really messed with my my moral compass
