Cya soon
Hello.
Feeling sad about Artemis 😞 I you spend the first 10 hours trying to save this guy then you end having to let him die
That’s harsh
I always used to turn him of, never realized how many times he reappears untill i did my permadeath run and let him live in the simulation
birthed a new star and got the star seed finally
i kind of regret not letting artemis live in the simulation in my current save
i chose not to reset the simulation/galaxy
Well, it turns out that your reality isn't any different than the one you gave him
I think I put Artemis in the simulation
Since everything is a simulation anyway, artemis’s life after you put them in another simulation wouldn’t be any different than it was before.
What if you could upload Artemis into an empty Korvax instead of a simulation?
always remember to switch your multi-tool and ship to something you dont use so you dont break everything on your best gear
^
UGH YES. That was so flipping annoying because I didn’t realise it
I'm doing the quest where you meet atlas whos dying and you find out we have 16 mins to live, how far am I through the story?
Without spoilers
I'm very confused with whats goin gon
yep
else everything will just break bit by bit
I'm not sure where that is but have u gone through that portal and just get teleported to atlas then find yourself teleported somewhere else
Whats the remeberence for
gives an extra hitpoint to the exosuit and i think is used to access terminals behind atlas pass doors in space stations
star seed and remembrance each give one health point each, placing them next to each other gives a bonus point. There's also some building on planets that contain remembrance terminals
i should really get another heart of the sun, i used my other one birth a star
Does the living ship draw from a separate pool of events or are specific events in the normal pool just overridden with the special living ship events?
Basically there was an encounter I wanted to check out with my living ship, but it changed to an egg. Will other encounters of that same event always be an egg or can the living ship get the other encounter just in a different system somewhere random?
It's the grave of the ocean king. The crystals inside it strike me as odd. Everything else in the game that cannot be damaged just isn't damaged, it may show the hit markers on the reticule, but it doesn't show anything. The crystals show a damage of 0 repeatedly when fired on, making me think there is something that could damage them as it has a health bar and a specific high damage resistance. Wanted to visit it with my living ship to see if its weapons had different effects.
Is the quest that gives you all the glyphs "Alone amidst the stars?"
when you get to "The Purge" is when you start getting a glyph per warp anywhere. so i did it along with Atlas quest so those warps would also count.
Is the purge part of the Artemis questline?
correct
the order of quests in Artemis path
src: https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Storyline
cool, thanks
How long will the questline take from Ghosts in the machine?
on average
not long. if you focus on just doing that, no sidetracking, it should be within a few...maybe couple of hrs? I did it within a day. but I sidetracked a bit.
It's such a great story honestly
by Sentinels going rogue they basically fucked the ontological/predictive experiment of the Atlas, since presumably Sentinels don't exist in the host reality of the Atlas sub-simulation 
Hmmm
Finished the artemis questline, wow
@gilded otter is there another use for the heart of the sun besides the quest line?
it is used to make remeberance a item that gives you 1 extra health bar + the ability to use rememberance consoles
it also when placed next to the star seed gives another extra bonus health bar
I've already got all that, was hoping for another use lol
What are rememberance consoles?
consoles that have alot of lore to explore
they are usually locked behind doors requiring Atlas pass V2/3
How do the living ship pulse events compare to the native pulse events for a given system? Are specific events overridden to be eggs for the LS or does the LS have its own list of events that includes the eggs but other pulse events can still happen?
Asked a couple times, never really gotten an answer...
Does anyone know what rememberance does?
extra health and lets you access hte remembrance terminals
thank you
So the giant worms. I assume just for looks? I tried to shoot one and it does nothing.
The event that talks about the first spawn gek melting down Korvax for rare minerals - I wonder what a Korvax screaming would sound like.
Or would it just calmly explain that its existence has value, and ask the gek nicely to not destroy it.
yes @worn cape , other pulse events may still happen while flying a LS. one really easy way to see this is in an inhabited system, where usually trade pilot is always the first encounter. it doesn't seem to ever get replaced by a void egg. edit: after typing this, and after a few reloads with both bioships and non-bioships, i found a system with only 2 pulse encounters in its drop table it seems (my conclusion after lots of pulsing around) . in this system, if i'm flying LS, then the first encounter is always a void egg, and if flying non-LS, the first encounter is always a (pre-desolation) derelict freighter. the second encounter is, for both ships, a npc trader pilot. in conclusion, inhabited systems may or may not have the npc trader pilot encounter on the first event, and (also according to previous testing i had done) whenever there's a void egg encounter in the sequence, if not flying a LS, it gets replaced with a (pre-desolation) derelict freighter.
Yea rlly just visual
Just curious, which quest finally lets you use the glyph teleports?
You can use them right away if you just grind the glyphs somehow from graves
Im halfway through the purge, will I still be able to obtain the heart of the sun?
Yes@eager island
Idk of I should ask this here but does anyone know where to find the stuff to create Remembrance
finish the Artemis questline, it'll be after The Purge, followed by New Beginnings (when you must choose to reset the simulation and 1 of 4 galaxy options to jump to...make sure you're prepare for that part in respect to having a base in prior galaxy, and having materials for broken tech etc).
I'm not on NMS rn so i don't know the exact item name, but I need platinum and some other material to craft it
ooh the materials. sorry i misunderstood. check #nms-questions. or you can also google "nms" and the name of a resource or material. top result should take you to the nms gamepedia (eg. https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Platinum) where they list all the sources.
remembrance requires heart of the sun, and to craft heart of the sun, you will need to complete the atlas path
Alright thanks guys
np
yw
Did you find the answer! Even i wish to know. After how much of story time, does the universe fully becomes navigable to us.
Technically speaking, your can get the glyphs earlier by talking to Travelers on space stations.
However, to more adequately answer your question, you're looking for "The Purge."
And when I say "talk to Travelers," I mean "convince them to disclose the location of their graves and get the glyphs, one at a time, from those."
There are 16 glyphs, you can't input a glyph at the portal until you obtain it from one source or another.
I watched on youtube a ‘tips for beginners’ video. There the guy told that talking method is long and squander much of ur early game time. He told abt a quest that will in one go give all glyphs.
But i dont know how much later will that quest come.
That's "The Purge," the final quest in the Artemis questline.
I won't go into too much detail now as to what that quest entails, but that's what you're looking for.
Thank you.
Posting this for people who search the discord for info on the "Zavainlani" (150) galaxy. It's a "lush" galaxy but I've found a total of 8* paradise planets (only 1 with water) and 2* paradise moon in 6* hours of jumping to yellow systems. Also I'm not sure but I feel like the systems tend to have higher conflict levels. Edit: Updated the numbers. Still crappy odds. I've been to 90 systems by now. I give up.
That sounds more like a raging galaxy in that case...
Down on your luck?
how do i face a fallen traveller?
it says i have to do that for the "titan" title
and i sooo want to be "Titan Qyrae"
Facing a traveller sounds like you'd have to fight them
Have you found a traveller grave before?
yeah
Hmm, this sounds interesting. Doesn't seem like there is any way to obtain it yet unless facing a fallen traveller means something we can already do then
nope
I'll double check tomorrow when I get on PC
but I don't recall having it and I've met plenty of NPC travellers, dead and alive
Yah, that was the special event title .. no way to get it right now as far as I know
Real life secret hunt as i recall
You needed to figure out codes, send emails to specific addresses, visit specific planets and stuff
Waking Titan?
Waking Titan
...what? How would an in-game title that was released after Waking Titan concluded be related to anything done in Waking Titan? lol
Mine popped up retroactively. I guess it might be connected to having visited one of the waking titan planets?
You can try going to portal 5007FBD6C670
That was one of them
Mm, now that would make sense, despite the planet having changed since then
Do you ever just visit where artemis was in the space anomaly? 😭
I just completed the story on my second playthrough
the game teleported me to eissentam, but it's extremely close to the galactic core

There's a set of coordinates that always puts you at the final warp
Just mashing down the first symbol usually puts you close
does completing the purge reset the universe?
Like, my freighter and bases and everything
no, you wont lose anything
Sick
What were your choices on resetting the universe
What did u guys choose I chose not to rest idk if I made the right decision
If I'm not mistaken the choice is entirely personal
Ive never finished the main arc myself
Damm XDD
I get too distracted
Hmmmmmm
Wtf lmao
Just plonked me on a planet
Oh well
It's what the Purge was telling me to do and everything
Maybe it's because I used my freighter, not starship
@slow forge ... don't tell me you actually got to the Core.
Yes
I did
I may have traveled 500 lightyears, then given up, and used a portal
But yes, I did it nonetheless
Uhhhh
*500 thousand
And you didn't, say, complete the 16-warp sequence at the end of the questline
That explains it.
You basically skipped the entire part where you chose which galaxy to go to.
And instead went straight to #2.
Yeah
So at the end I chose to deny the Atlas, to get back to it and reset what do I have to do?
Unfortunately, you only get that choice once. You can travel across galaxies one step at a time though the Cores, but the choice you get at the end of the quest is forever lost to you. @slow forge
oh hey I'm purple now
Think you can do the story line if you return to the first galaxy...
Goodbye Euclid, maybe I'll be back some day
:salute:
Big cheers to @dull abyss for the guidance
Where too?
Green
Good choice

Does all of our belongings follow into the next galaxy?
Yes, but do beware that any Tech in General inventory will break (in Exosuit, Starship, and Multi-tool). So prepare accordingly. Most players will make the jump with an alternate starship. Same with multi-tool. And they move most important exosuit tech to Tech inventory. And you should have at least one base in prior galaxy so you can go back to it easily.
They updated that huh? Going back and fourth
What ya mean? You can go back and forth between galaxies using the Teleporter to go to your bases, or space stations.
Wasnt like tjat 6 years ago lol
Lots has changed. I didn't play back then though.
Ive ignored a lot of the primary questa for lioe 30 houra sonce i restarted, now im just flyimg through lol.. thanks for the reply.. didnt wanna go if it reset my stuff
yeah, i held off from making the jump for a long time tbh lol but you'll def have all your stuff. just make sure to be prepared for tech breaking (using alternate ship and multi for jump and having whatever mats you'll need, etc)
Well, i could do what i just did.. apparently warping from freighter via telepprted, woth a broken apart ship, fixes the necessities of flight when warping to a station lmao..
Anybody have any clue what this thing is? I was exploring an underwater cave and came across it. https://prnt.sc/10pm9gs
Theres at least 2 of them down here
It's a type of weird plant afaik
There's some round creatures resembling it too but you can't feed then
Sometimes you can't scan or mine them
ive been on that planet theres like giant phalic looking towers that pulsate to
question
I have returned to no man's sky after like two years and i'm having a lot of fun with my friend
but
i know most of the tutorials and videos cover the euclid galaxy
but i kinda want to create a new galaxy
i don't know what to do :/
@rustic nimbus You don't exactly create a new one, but you travel to another one. The simplest way to reach another galaxy is either to join another player, reach the Galactic Core, or complete the Artemis questline. Each has its complications.
def check #nms-questions for guidance. there are 257 existing galaxies in the game. my recommendation is Artemis questline (as Yazz mentioned above) which gets you the 16 glyphs needed for portal travel (must get to "the purge" quest) and a jump to another galaxy (4 galaxy types to choose from). you can get more details about that in the help channel. if you already have the 16 glyphs and don't wanna bother with the artemis questline, you can also use the featured bases in the space anomaly to get to other galaxies some of those bases may be in. make sure to save bases to switch between galaxies via teleporters more easily.
so what benefits does a s class exotic have over other ships?
@uncut harness They have all-around good stats.
Aside from that, they all have pretty poor storage.
yeah i saw that
That's pretty much it to my knowledge.
They're a status symbol more than anything. Prized for rarity.
and some people like flying a squid
you can upgrade every S-class ship, whether exotic, hauler, shuttle, etc, to the same maximum inventory capacity. Exotics start quite small, though, so it takes more investment to get them to that point
Soo if i move to another galaxy and teleport to my base(in the euclid galaxy) i can change what galaxy i'm in?
Make sure you put a new base down in the new galaxy too
minimum one base per galaxy you want ready access to
but yeah, you keep all your bases after moving and can return at your leisure
returning through the teleporters also does not damage your ship/tool/suit like the core jump does
whoops
Use a living ship and organic multitool for galactic core jumps.
Living ship takes damage just the same, and with more annoying repair requierments
That is to say, teck tab is uneffected, rest breakes
I'm gonna cry yall
I don't wanna let Artemis go
But I thought long and hard on it.
Eventually, since he no longer has a mortal form he will virtually discover all and everything.
And be left with nothing but himself all alone
Waaaaaaa
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna let him go.
I'm crying yall
i cried. nw. you're not the only one.
Why living/organic?
cuz with normal tech, whatever's in general inventory, it breaks during galactic core jumps. another workaround is just to travel with an alternate starship and multi you wouldn't mind being broken, so you can switch back to your main working ship/multi.
Ngl before I had therapy I would have let him live on in the virtual world
Because I myself have a chronic gear of the end.
Fear*
But eventually he would live In a never ending depression
On a single system where he'd never be able to leave
Considering the fact he was one of the chosen travelers... I think that would be a Fate worse than death.
I still think we should be able to put Artemis into an empty korvax shell
I still think once you've pledged your loyalty to Atlas so many fucking times they should make the sentinels stop
Also what about a single system would automatically result in never ending depression? Everyone on earth lives on just one planet, not even having access to the rest of the system, and most people do just fine.
He's a traveler.
That's the problem
Not only is the lack of friends and the truth of his non-existence painful enough
But he can't even do the one thing his soul demands
The wanderlust forever starved
As a part of a simulation, he doesn’t have a soul. He can still talk to you, so he has just as many friends as he had before, and just because he’s called a traveler doesn’t mean he couldn’t enjoy things other than traveling.
That’s like saying a farmer who moves to a city would suffer everlasting depression.
Idk man.
Nada already said the truth would be heartbreaking and these travelers in game have a very do or die mentality
Real life standards yeah it doesn't make sense
But the drive of Atlas will always sting the travelers and mess them up. They're cursed with the knowledge that they'll never see everything and expend their life in hopes of proving wrong
But I feel like discovering the whole dimension in a matter of days wouldn't feel right.
Then stir questions.
Then comes the sad.
Like what if day one of your life you were told you were destined to explore.
You go outside to the backyard... that's it.
Pretty existential
Like you KNOW this can't be it...
So... why is it?
Is something holding Artemis back?
Then they gotta go "oh yeah btw dude you're uh dead and in limbo sorry-"
None of the travelers you meet ever seem that fixated on exploring though (except null). They seem to have accepted that they can’t see everything, and they’ve just learned to live with it.
Idk I've mostly seen sad travelers who already passed or monoliths where the travelers were going berserk
How one killed another to get the glyphs
But like Apollo seems more focused on discovering stuff and meeting people than going to new systems, and he’s one of the ones who the player has the most interaction with.
Yeah he's definitely different
The odd one out
I didn't like him at first cause he was snappy but now I do
Different from who? There isn’t really any extensive discussion of anyone else’s goals.
Well compared to the others that are like "let us help one another and explore!"
He's like "do this. Get to it. Chop chop, units are falling as we speak."
But exploring doesn’t have to mean going to places that are far away. It could mean a much more detailed exploration of a relatively small (but actually really huge) area such as a system.
Right.
Man this game is so cool
Yeah
In the gameplay exploring necessarily means going far away because there’s practically no variation within each planet, but in the lore each planet would probably have much more cool stuff to find.
so uh, the holo terminus
i was speaking with apollo and we shared coordinates
and it said we were in the same place speaking at the same holo terminus
yet we did not appear physically to each other
is this a reference to that one incident where two players found each other in the same planet at the same place in the early days of no man's sky?
i love how one of the major downfalls of early nms got turned into an interesting story element
Yeah. It's a reference to that and also a lore "explanation" why such thing was not possible
U guys ever seen a ship so expensive?
The more inventory space it has the more it costs
My S-class hauler is even more expensive
i just saw one actually iswell nearly the same as yours
when im at the atlas about to reset those 4 orbs what do they do which do i pick
Around yellow stars only.
@brisk aspen this is the pin i was referring to, which may actually work for your first living ship from the looks of it.
Storywise..I never really played the game but I know about 16 a bit...Can I just do the stories (find the black hole, find artemis etc) as I please or is one of them better to do before the other?
I would recommend doing the Atlas Path in full before completing the final mission of the Artemis Path, which is called The Purge.
however, the Atlas Path is locked behind milestone levels, so it can help to do the rest of the Artemis Path along with working on Atlas Path missions, should fill out a good number of the necessary milestones
the stories aren't really connected much, but the end-of-story item rewards are, you'll need the recipes from the Atlas Path to create the item you learn at the end of the Artemis Path
does someone here have the glyphs for a perfect x class module?
They dont work that way. They get rerolled based on what modules youve already applied. So you could use an X module, reload your save, use a C module, then use the X module, and it will have entirely different stats.
You can try save scumming it but ive read that the X modules will randomly break the normally used save scum method, so they also arent reliable.
If you want more info on them, look on reddit for a ship called "Void Dancer". That user spent a bunch of time rerolling X class modules.
ok i just wanted to go on reddit and apparently the nms community is now private...
but thanks for the answer
@vital rain the explanation and discussion of the subreddit goes in #off-topic-bond-james-bond and is alluded to in #server-announcements
yes my bad. i was just wondering
Oh hey, sorry, i wrote that before I heard the news of the subreddit. I can try to explain it a bit more in detail but its based on "module rerolling", so if you can find another write up for that, it works roughly the same with X class modules (albeit with an addl random factor thrown in)
i will be fine, ty :)
hmmm?
you guys aren't kidding about the price, it's now 50% off on most platforms
decided to buy one more copy, to bring someone else in 
also, i'm wondering if sean's gonna bring us either a new update, or an april fools. what would be most likely?
because if it involves more lore to the game, including more things i don't expect, or either like a real april fools surprise that is In-Game with something as a reward would be neat!
it can't be too big of an update this early on tho. Mostly around the size of exo mech would be realistic
I think they said they were moving toward smaller upates anyway
What's hidden behind the things that require remembrance ?
Do I need to do Atlas path to get the blueprints required ?
I kinda just finished Artemis path without doing almost any Atlas
Just lore terminals, and yes.
the more useful bit is that IIRC Remembrance is also a +1 Health module, which can get an adjacency bonus from another +1 Health thing you get from the Atlas Path for a total of +3 Health
Cool, guess I go atlas this galaxy
odds are if you're on a save where you already did Artemis, the Atlas Path will be really quick; it's mostly locked behind certain Milestone objectives and you're likely to already be at the necessary tier for all of it
I suggest grabbing an Explorer if you haven't already though, you're gonna be travelling
Also! Welcome to Budullangr.
Cool lol
And thanks, it's been about a week since reset
Just going skiing, trying to find giant animals tbh
I'm guessing this isn't the right galaxy for that tho
Budullangr's an Empty galaxy, so it's the type with the fewest Lush planets and IIRC more than the normal no-atmosphere planets. So yeah, it may not be ideal for what you want. I kind of like the "wild frontier" feeling in my space games though, so it's nice for me
I like the hexagon planets
Seems to be more of those
Also found my first robotic animals in this galaxy
when I stop getting sidetracked by other games I need to set up a proper base in my home system. I found a cool explorer (they exist, shockingly), alien multitool, and a nice Lush planet with non-aggro sentinels all in one system
Lol that reminds me I need to farm a load of salvage data
since I'm in Survival, getting low sentinel activity ain't happening
Good luck
yeah no, it's straight not possible. every planet in Survival has at least some roaming sentinels
they're not too obtrusive outside of Aggressive planets at least
Funny thing is you can still mine with them around, just make sure there last bit happens when they aren't looking
they also just straight don't care about excavation
you can mine out an entire Indium deposit right in front of them and they won't even take a second look
Weird
Are they much more dangerous in survival ?
Like do they do more damage ?
no, unfortunately the combat's always pretty easy without mods. One of my installed mods alters their behavior, makes them more likely to fly higher in combat
but in Survival really it's more the environment that's likely to kill you. I had a really hard time running derelicts before getting cold resistance modules, and one of my survival saves had me die on my way to the starter ship
That's harsh
I've only died from geology canon in normal
And once while getting whispering eggs
once you get to the station though it's really easy to keep yourself running, just buy batteries and life support gel; with the lower inventory caps you'd clog your inventory with oxygen and sodium if you did it the normal way
Oh yeah
Don't think I'm ready for small inventory
I'll probably not play survival tho
Yeah, can't fault you, different modes for different people. It's kind of a pain in the ass for building
ship and freighter inventory isn't reduced by as much though, and I assume exocraft slots are ship-level so they should have more of a use
I'd be down for a hard mode
But small inventories isn't my kinda hard
There's probably mods for that tho
there's a few but they seem a bit scattershot IMO. I do think some limiting of the inventory is good, but going from 9999 to 250 is maybe a bit much
if it was up to me it'd be like, 2500 for the "basics" (5k in the Cargo slots, 9999 in Freighter inventory), and improved enemy tactics and more damage
and maybe special double-size resource deposits or something on Aggressive Sentinels planets, give people a reason to deal with that
Yeah, or some rare containers that only open if walkers are around
secure crates you have to trick them into blasting
Pew pew, lazer this thing for me tallboi
Yup. Smaller but more regular updates. That proved to be very successful strategy last year
I'd love to see some updates that revisit older updates to improve the systems and add more depth, maybe revisit exocraft with more utilities and variety (alternate mechs, variant roamers, I'unno)
agreed
I enjoy a lot of what NMS has, but almost none of it has any real depth, after a short amount of time you've basically seen everything in any one system. At this stage of the game's life, I feel like it's a great time to go back and improve that
moving freighters pls
more variety in freighters too. within each type there may be a few parts that vary slightly, but largely each hull is the same
like, any of the Venators is basically the same, just slight variation and some are longer, or each of the sub-cap ones seems to basically be one fixed design more-or-less
I'm more disturbed by the accessible top part which sometimes stands out so obviously from the hull
and doesn't even share the same color scheme as your freighter. I had to edit my freighter lines red since the hangar part is red from the outside and I want it to feel like part of the freighter
@green wave Artemis is already dead so it's up to you
🧭 🧭 🧭
Yup
Maybe bounty missions overhaul?
Maybe
Of guild overhaul
Maybe add more rewards to make it more worth it
Hmm
is it possible to unlock more technology slots ?
7x2 is the max in vanilla, though there are multiple mods that expand it.
Where can i find/Buy a Korvax Convergence Cube ?
Usually some in buried caches near where you need one, but they'll also be trading post caches in Korvax systems and the NPC pilots will be selling them
Some minor settlements sell them too
From the ppl at the space station
Not sure tho
@marsh hamlet Try:
• Green crates on planet-surfaces in Korvax systems
• Pilots and terminals on planetary trade outposts within Korvax systems
Hmm, reject and go for another? Not sure.
frigate expeditions
You can get them from the green cache boxes on Korvax planets, from the Trading Post caches on Korvax Planets, or from NPC pilots on Korvax planets....to name a few.
Some minor settlements also sell them
?
It looks very interesting. It could refer to elite dangerous but maybe it could mean something more...
What does Elite Dangerous have to do with anything except milking its fans with paintjobs?
Isnt the next ED update called oddysey or something ?
Wasn't there a NMS update called Odyssey?
Or am I going insane
It was called Origins
When did we start talking about the most recent update?
The pets one?
I was thinking of Beyond.
That Reddit post is so not how HG do things. Just someone having fun.
That said I am very excited to see what the compass is all about
that's just ED player referring to NMS falling when ED Odyssey arrives...
Does look like an ED player salty about the fact NMS has evolved so much quicker than ED.
It's just weird the way he worded things in the post
trying to get the attention with those
I hate this kind of ARG/Puzzle. It's uncreative and overly cryptic.
I dont understand why he might think that ED will kill No mans sky with Oddysey
New in ED: displaced heightmaps, a few outposts copypasted across the inhabited region
Why tf does this get ED fans excited, Elite 2 and 3 did this decades before ED.
Because it's still pretty neat
I enjoy playing elite and definitely am waiting for Odyssey but ye, their updates and dedication are nothing compared to HG and NMS
still enjoyable game
It's enjoyable for as long as you can stand the grind loop.
Arnt elite paint jobs free?
AFAIK Frontier designed Arx to pull in people who can't control their spending. If you're gonna be spending 50 hours with crap gameplay, sure, they're free.
It doesn't change the fact Fdev is being scummy AF.
Eh, to each their own
You don't think being exploitative is a bit bad?
Doesnt seem explotive to me
If we wernt able to buy in game then i would prob be diffrent in veiw
Imagine quicksilver being such a slowly acquirable currency and requiring dozens of hours worth of grind to just get 40 of it
for example
and having alternative of just buying it
Exactly
Still doesnt really feel skummy to me. Skummy is when a company forces you to buy to win imo
Im prob too positive on companys tbh
The free paint jobs don't matter, Fdev's intent to exploit people matters. I would say you're too easy on corporate bs as well.
Well we cant tell whats going on inside can we though?
Still, being suspicious of every company seems like a tired way of liveing anyway
Oh, poor millionaires, just want a few extra cents. Pfft.
Unless im being robbed by said comp. Then i see no reason to be mad
Never said poor millionares. Just dont care how their buisness practices are unless it keeps people from haveing fun with what is put out
Or is unfair
We really should move this convo if we are contiueing it
Exploitation isn't good, what's there to not inderstand?
Well that's the intent. End of.
Responded in off topic
So, is each galaxy meant to be a separate Iteration in the lore?
Or are they all existing in the same Iteration (i.e., the player character's Iteration)?
They've never been very clear on this tbh
I like to read it as these are in fact different galaxies in the same Iteration, to put it as you phrase it
Because otherwise it really is just the same galaxy reiterated and you're just running in place, so to speak
Which would technically fit the current way they're generated
story spoilers ||so, lads. The universe is a simulation, nothing is real, or the universe is a simulation and nothing is real. vote now on your phones||
ugh
in the context of NMS the NMS universe is a sub-sim of an existing simulation, and there is no indication of what if any "base reality" there even is
That wasn't one of the choices.
your choices are lacking sufficient context
late night update speculation is really starting to hit me hard rn
wen update.
this month or next
Soon™️
Oh no, the cycle repeats
Origins was the new Foundation update
Compass = the new Pathfinder Update whatever it will be
also idk but the reddit post kinda got my interest even tho it's probably a troll. The fact that Greg also just tweeted about having something really cool coming up on Monday doesn't ease my hype at all
Well I stayed awake all night and hype levels are dangerously high
Greg?
And have they ever released an update on a Monday lol
I just want planet rotation
Greg Buchanan. The story and lore writer for NMS since 2017
Ahh! Maybe it’s an atlas story expansion like some theorized.
And thank you for this info lol
Made the 30h storyline, latest weekend event storyline, all the origins logs, boundary failure logs etc.
Literally all the deep lore/story stuff is his works

that’s dope! Can’t wait to see what this update brings. Hoping it’s a big one, but I’m not expecting much considering we got origins pretty recently.
what leaks? Wow I’m outta the loop rn
The new race was the friends we made along the way
that post could be fake
but
there is a tiny chance it's not
that seems awfully lot like NMS lore stuff and right at a time when Greg says he's got something interesting coming on Monday after talking about NMS on and off for a month or two already
But that was pre-Origins
And could've just hinted at us embarking on an odyssey when Origins comes out
Still, if we count that in there are already so many pointers towards something exciting
Could be desolation-sized update
Seaaan
pls
please no more weekend missions tho
spent some time talking to all the boundary failures tilll they went into ERROR ERROR ERROR, YOU ARE BEING WATCHED.
that was trippy
very sus of my relationship with telamon now
what if they delayed the update due to the name resembling elites update too much
u can name an update without relizeing it matchs something else ya know
they would have to reedit the trailer which they apparently do close to release. i forgot where they said that
can i talk about what i think so far of the story here
ok cool
so doing obtaining the glyphs and jumping to the center just feels weirdly impactful
null trying to convince me not to and apollo being supportive is pretty cool
yeah it's a very enjoyable story for sure
the way it's written really adds to the impact for me
yes
although there wasnt any tough bosses or extreme plot twists, its that subtle depressing mood that takes the cake for me
35 hours of gameplay flew by extremely quickly for me
i bought it 5 minutes after it went on steam sale
Definitely a memorable story
Just got to the centrr of Euclid galaxy
They's a lot of lush planets there
ye its really cool
ok so let me try and understand this. The Atlas creates galaxies to try and simulate life, but three alien races, the Gek, Korvak, and Viking always form and cause conflict,
but the atlas tries to fix it by adding travellers?
I don't think the lore is that clear
The sentinels keep popping up from their glass planet
glass dimension
available on expe and public
Interesting 🤔
This wall is a placeholder for a new merchant? 😛
idk why my Steam screens are so compressed
Yes
butbut
my save...
what is expedition mode
is it like
just a mode with missions
YOOOO what the heck is that
Wz dont know yet
So wait
that new UI tho
Still no update for ps4
Do we get these put into all our saves or...
No it's a new gamemode entirely
Oh no
i'm extremely uninterested in doing anything with a community (no offense y'all, lol) so hopefully this is all stuff one can access solo
looks like it from that screen
@flint silo then why comment?
so basically this is just daily challenges that are more interesting than quicksilver...
need patch notes
pls
i'm not being a downer? it's cool for folks who like it.
yea multiplayer is always buggy
so its like seasons huh?
that's neat
then we'll get another expeditions with their own missions with new rewards at the nexus
( i guess)
anything got changed in the normal mode?
waiting for patchnotes haha
UI, icons and Nexus quicksilver robot for what I saw
I sure hope the expeditions quests aren't just exactly the same with nexus quests
Can I be a wandering trader from minecraft but in space
i still have 3 minutes left on the download
Stilllllllll no update for ps4
Well you're supposed to talk about datamined and discovered content here not "what will it be and when will it be" that goes in main
uhm, can the new mode be played as solo?
it's basically seasons
have you ever played Diablo or other arpg game
the answer is yes btw
Footnoot
Wait wait
well i don't play those games
I guess if you turn of multi yes
so its something to incentivize player to start a new every couple months
I think I'm also hearing new music here
if this is just more "kill 10 plant etc" but in a separate mode where they just give you more of them then meh
...
I sure hope it won't be like that but I think it is sadly
i like to play myself so :P.
@mental socket told u not to expect something big
dont really care about MP
aaa give patch notes so I can be proven wrong
Literally using this as a second main to speculate isn't really the point 😐
not speculating. Just waiting for someone to tell what's in the update
Well people were saying all kinds of stuff in main but I guess its hard to do it here lol
heck, i think i may need to remove one of my AR saves
that just seems very vague and kinda anticlimactic. What I imagine are just the old missions but now with main emphasis on them with this new mode
tho i just gonna turn off multiplayer after starting 😄
Well as always, don't expect an update to be what you would like to see
its just an incentive for people to start a new save and do chores
Yeah
agreed
Until the patch notes come out quit spinning it
need notes Sean
but
hopefully the patch notes will reveal more exciting things
patchnotes always have more than just what we can see immediately
RIP crashed
i was sure
for sure its gonna be something people didnt wanted or expected
it always happen at the begining of the year
I mean seasons are neat tho
what matter its new contnet
but I sure hope they added something new instead of having us literally do the same thing we can already do and done in normal mode
Because you won't stop speculating I have now enabled slow mode here too
its also their game after all
since i can turn off MP, i probably will start a new save with expedition, whilst deleting one of my AR saves :< I dont play them anymore anyways
just started a new save and there are 5 people on the planet
The items you earn from expeditions are available on all saves, so no reason to complain about new saves tbh
Soo what is an expedition
Does everybody start in the same area?
so far, so fun
Is it out on xbox?
I can't see any news about the update on Steam, Twitter, or the NMS website 😒
I neeeeeeed patch notes reee
seems so
its like... story mode
A starter explorer?
But more people
I'm so confused lol
Patch notes will be out in like 30 mins most likely lol
oh so this is what the seasonal mode was for in the files?
Plus there's no patch notes... No update showing for me yet either
I'm doing exactly the same thing as on the start of a normal mode right now, but there are objectives telling you to move around into the main goal
uh oh
it's like an expedition race I guess
That the new icon when u wanna join
fuck, i gotta restart my pc. brb
that's the ambient mode icon
What rewards does it give?
If it is multiplayer, is it mean that the PS+ is require on PS4?
probablu
It seems like an evolution of the weekly quests?
I like the new icons
Just fired it up.. the expedition popup was stuck on the right side
im back
wtf ?
variation?
the galaxy map has new color?
for me its red and blue
its like the amazing race with rewards
it looks much more like nebulas
are you competing with others or working with them tho im not sure
i feel like it looks different
from the description popup sounds like working together to complete a common goal
much more realistic nebulas color
I like it
akin to strikes in destiny?
@ocean wyvern the new color?
Yeah
wait and see
has console gotten the update yet? Just wondering if they are waiting for them to get it as well before they do patch notes/trailer.
usualy its console first
yeah, it's weird haha
maybe they wanna see the bugs we have on pc first
I checked both PS4 and PS5 copies, neither had update as of 30 seconds ago
i feel like im watching the pliars of creation endlesly
any new fucntions there?
If it’s like companions it will be around 6am same with patch notes
but who knows haha
Does the galaxy map have any new functions?
You can? 
it reminds me of the E3 gameplay he did
imagine forgetting to save at the end of expedition
bottom line ^
ohhh nice
So when you complete a thing in the new mode you get the thing in ye normal save as well
Yep!
Sounds awesome
i think i hold a wr rn: first person to get a glyph in this gamemode
i like this
are there any exclusive items for last tiers?
what if people start griefing and building bases around expedition mission points
I think it’s cool!
....
I think they will have something in place sort of like the portal bases lol
The top tier for the current expedition is a gold and silver alpha vector
You can’t see people’s bases around portals, I’m assuming it would be the same here!
Not sure yet how they are doing it
whats that 🥺
I do be thinking about making a new update themed base
@wind panther
hehe
hmm can someone confirm if we could play solo?
@gloomy isle hmmm
The skybox always did
I mean like in space
Yea
In terms of colour
yeah
need that
Anyone noticed any other changes?
I don't want that because then all of space in a region will be one colour
now just try get in galaxy map and see if the color is actually the saem there
well it's realistic. No point in having a system in a blue nebulae and then when you enter it the nebulae is suddenly some random color
THAT A UI FUCK YES
regions are fairly small anyways
planet gen seems... odd
Ooh nice UI
I wonder if expedition maps are a different universe/galaxy
HEHE look who discovered it?
HG helo

in reality this is just a big manhunt for Sean who left this discovered path of systems behind
in the end there will be Sean in his little base just vibing
lol
He just wants love
It’s just one giant manhunt.
Can't wait for patch notes
also im a fucking gek
If he follows other updates we could get a trailer as well as patch notes at 6am. Or in 12 mins
doubting a trailer
But patch notes fs I think
patch notes from within the game
for anyone wondering, dont know if it was posted before
yeee someone didn’t know expeditions was real so he sent em here lol
Is it multiplayer only?
I hope not
Seems like it can be done sp
THERES NEW MUSIC
You can disable multiplayer
!!!!
REALLY?
So far this is cool
galactic map colour filter*
What filters are there?
how do i chnage my language settings
The music is increidble
Hmmm? 👀
Oooooo
this looks quite different
Warping out rn lol
No planets looks the same, just origins stuff
UI is softer for everything now, looks nice
where is the expedition tab?
Expeditions are started as like a separate game mode
My image is still on menu right? 
Different ones
nngnnggnngggg crashing again
its soo strange
I'm sure they did
@storm shell im in your save
love that
The golden vector looks real nice
Trailer out
Ship exchanging!
also new on the No Man's Sky website I think?
QS BOBA FETT JETPACK
patch notes
is it just me or all the ships received significant visual overhaul?
explorers did
only explorers? shame, they're my least favorite type..
Players can now use the Quick Menu to switch their primary starship while docked at the Space Anomaly.
wonder if it works on the space station
since that's where the salvage/upgrade terminal is
Maybe it's special in some ways
Seems like it's the reward for completing every mission
That seens fair
Ye
In what way?
you already know who's gonna investigate that 👀
Ooohhh yesss
@novel torrent if you check the patch notes you'll see two examples
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
much more detailed models for explorer ships, not just minor decals added, actual model changes that make them look nicer
lol this is a patch note, good one
Players may still use their eyes to locate the correct building from the air or whilst on foot.
I'm already in love with this update
Did they fix traveler head 1?
for those on mobile, Before:
Lol it is march. haha.
After:
ooh
Jesus
Weekend events are now generated procedurally.
Nice, so weekend events perma now?
Seems so yes
every fetch quest procedural
And that's my daily snark quote reached
Idk about this... I'll have a go and see
Fixed a number of issues in depot raid Nexus missions that could cause progress to desync.
Nice that's one from NEXT
ok so the twitch stuff starts tomorrow
And the one below it too
I mean it's a beginning that skips the whole intro I'm pretty sure so there's that
where's the patch note?
funny. Just tried playing a new save, and the whole refiner vanished instead 😄
maybe they got rid of old refiners then
tah, I crafted a few pieces of pure iron, then turned around and it was gone. They have some bugs to iron, it seems. The game crashed soon after.
@severe sun yeah twitch drops don't really require much activity, you just get a notifications that you got something
Saw it ty
did they fix up explorer cockpit display cutting off planet name tho?
You are the best
Seems like it
On my explorer it showed up
is solo an option for expedition mode?
first letter still cut off lol
also all "my" discoveries on my save seem to have been discovered 5 years ago by other peeps lol
Yikes
nice

}``` looks like hello games was experimenting with DLSS in an official capacity as to get a Prod DLL like this you need to apply with nvidia
this is a DLL
uhh
windows only
fuck? woops
this is for PCs
Bubble cockpit explorer looks so nice now
Really, all the explorer changes look great :grin:
i do welcome the explorer ship's remakes, but i need to see more varieties
explorers is at the bottom of the list of ship i want, but some looks decent pre-Exp
Shuttles have more variety than any other ship, but they are largely ignored because of numbers.
I just dont think variety is the solution tbh. New parts become old parts within a few weeks.
True, i adopted the liking to get some type of shuttles. There is one shuttle in my fleet that i used for multipurpose surveying
tho i would love to see more variety of T3 fighters, the side tanks is getting boring xD
It got a large explorer and now I use that for everything
care to show how it looks like? 😮
I wonder what it will look like now
The real question is, is expedition mode matchmaked with people in normal mode since expedition save becomes normal mode save after completion
Would the conversion not happen until the expedition period ends for everyone?
yes expeditions saves at the end of 2 months will become normal saves
Love the idea of this patch, hate the FOMO it's introducing
game is crashing so much for me
guess i'll wait for bugfix
does everyone start at the same solar system? like, everyone?
okay holy shit I just encountered a bug that's really bad for people with photosensitivity
like, really bad
and all of my textures are bugged, beautiful
You can submit bug reports or suggestions/feedback directly to Hello Games with this link: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
the new music sounds like a remix of paul weir's "Journey"
there are some references to DLSS in the main EXE but it seems detached from the DLSS dll
They need to add a drop-down on the crash report for expedition mode.
am I correct that the nexus isn't available in expeditions mode?
Weird
How does the target sweeper work?
Basically like a metal detector
How do i use it tho?
it's only useable for certain missions
when you have a mission selected where the location of something is arbitrary (like finding a rare resource) it gives feedback
doesn't work for basic resources that you can scan for tho
That too
so far this update is really awesome
it's weird cause it doesn't fundamentally add any sort of new interaction or items
just adds a structure around existing things that makes them more satisfying and rewarding
Also checked out the save files
is the storyline disabled in expedition?
Ye
I think you can check the phases to complete them
yeah i'm sure you can just cheat past them lol
Some of the milestones look annoying
The nexus doesn't appear for me in space if I press X 🤔
Also if you cme across the planet named Yee Yee ass hair cut it's mine
The only ones that seem annoying are ones that are like "buy a ship" but when you realize you get like 1mil units from rewards of previous ones it's not too bad
and I have 600k+ already by selling salvaged data 😛
I have 1.3 mill rn
the one that looks the worst actually is the "farm 60 things" badge lol
Yeah that's bad too
I only saw phases in the save file , will try to find the milestones later
rip crashed 😛
honestly ignoring all the new stuff, the new mode started me as a gek with a rainbow jetpack attachment so it's a 10/10 in my eyes
lol nice
I actually crashed very short after my first go
and my second save (since I crashed before saving for the first time) had the same outfit 😛
I started as a korvax with a indium jetpack
noice
I'll check out the save again later
TALL
man that wing looks badass
yea
that’s a tall wing
anyone here crashed yet? 😛
not yet no
console here, no crash yet
i'm a gek again 😄
the new minimal hud is very nice
yeah
Love the HUD
the little stylized icons for certain discoverables are super nice too
If you want to , i think you could change the phase rewards
3 crash today, but I found a guy that had 8 crashes, and was in starter system xD
guys, remember to grab some vortex cube near your ship, 🙂
the exploreres look less cute and more agressive
the tall wings look like its gonna chop me with a sword
true, also i'm shooting the ground to get resources 😄
any datamining
Well not exactly datamining but i checking out the save , and i think u can skip the phases
someone found DLSS references
Anyone noticed improved pop in?
DLSS would be pretty sweet to have
yeah performance in general has been very nice, along with better quality visuals as far as I can tell. Also haven't seen muddy textures yet which happened a lot before.
Very nice, hoping Ps4 gets some of those improvements too
@hybrid pendant DLSS is Nvidia's AI powered resolution scaling API. Lets you render at a very low res but upscale it using AI to something like 4k with a fraction of the performance cost of rendering at a full 4k res
that's the rumor but that rumor comes up like evry 3 months lol. PCs already use DLSS so it's not a reason to believe it's related to a switch port vs. just being a general performance enhancement
The switch uses nvidia hardware.
yes but reports says it will use dlss to make it 4K
yeah but again those rumors happen every few months
well everyone starting to converge into that
If there is a new switch with DLSS it's possible implementing DLSS for NMS would help it be playable on it but I really doubt it
well when u tell me dlss i think switch
adding DLSS doesn't hint at a switch port tho, it's a popular graphics enhancement that a lot of games are using
sure...
you shouldn't lol, it's not even on switch, it's a PC thing only right now
wait and see
I am now saving each action coz I crash too much 😂
Random rumors that come out every few months about some mega switch are pointless to make assumptions off of
if it is i will say told u 😉
Going4Quests constructed save beacon
lolk
def makes starting over less of a slog, not that I really minded much before
do we know what the season rewards are?
The ship.
o kk ty
yay for salvage data 😛
cant wait to see when u datamine the game @wind panther
^
damnit, placed a save beacon inside someone's base area
and it despawned 😛
yay and crashed 😛
praise the faster load times
@timid mist I warped and now I can summon the nexus 😄
I obtained 5K nanites and turned in the reward
the reward gave me 5mil units
enough for the 6mil unit badge
Pioneers Expedition speedrun any%
I think most of the badges can be completed fairly quickly.
But then there are the grindy ones such as gaining explorers guild reputation
I've been to 3 systems and haven't found a single explorers guild mission 😰
That one is horrible
