nms-spoilers

[edgy crag]

Don't know how long the redez-vous systems take

should I upgrade my hyperdrive? 😄

[stark zephyr]

What class is ship that you get from doing all 1 phase expeditions?

[hybrid pendant]

huh?

[idle jay]

Fighter if I'm not mistaken

[cursive kernel]

Who has the funny golden ship

[heady wyvern]

I think they were talking about C/B/A/S class. I don't think anybody's figured that out yet.

[cursive kernel]

Probably S

Because it's golden

And a reward

[timid mist]

you get an insane S-class from doing the "acquire an A-class ship" btw

comes with a fully charged hyperdrive as well as launch upgrades and a teleport receiver

also cyclotron ballista

slots are 33 + 21

[heady wyvern]

So they really just give out ships in this mode

Wao

[uncut harness]

Im more interested in the free glyphs and the atlas pass set

[hardy flume]

The starting expedition system has an s class exotic in the station

[ionic carbon]

what's a good way to make money early on, haven't played in a long time lol.

[hardy flume]

just saw it come in lmaoo

[uncut harness]

@ionic carbon find crashed ships and fix the thruster/pulse drive

[rancid lance]

has there been any patch for the crashes at all?

[uncut harness]

Ive crashed more times today than i ever have my entire time on this game

[rancid lance]

same

[mental socket]

0 crashes here. Many lag spikes and freezes tho

[cursive kernel]

Every exotic is s class lol

[hardy flume]

I knew that

Just found out that every system has an exotic tho

[edgy crag]

Disabling Multiplayer worked for me

[hybrid pendant]

@wind panther did u datamined some new things ?

[wind panther]

Not really, can't look inside the files yet and the names themselves don't really indicate anything other than what's already been teased by HG

[hybrid pendant]

@wind panther i hezrd some said they see dlss stuff

[wind panther]

I heard that, but haven't seen any confirmation

[cursive kernel]

dlss?

[wind panther]

A graphics format type thing. I'm not up on my terminology :)

[hybrid pendant]

And for reports of website the switch pro will use dlss

[wind panther]

Apparently rumors like that are about once a month, though

[hybrid pendant]

Well most news outlet says that now soo

[wind panther]

I don't follow it, though, so no idea

[hybrid pendant]

Well its a way to do 4k with ai

Without loosing framerates

[wind panther]

Yeah, scaling right?

[hybrid pendant]

Sorta yes

Perfect for a hybrid consolz

[zinc bough]

Yo so as someone who's been away from NMS for a while, is there any big new lore?

Last time I payed attention, Ariadne got sussed and is replaced with an abyssal clone, or something like that.

Just wanna see if I've missed anything since before I go lore-hunting.

[mental socket]

that hasn't continued yet

[mighty rampart]

Yeah you're caught up

[indigo smelt]

Is there any twitch drop content that cannot be gotten by QS store?

Or expeditions?

[indigo smelt]

Gunter should have gotten a command or something.

[somber ore]

How big actually are the capital freighters, in meters? Units are inadequate for getting a good idea of their size as the interior speedometer seems to switch to smaller units in space, the speed jumping up despite flying at a constant speed.

[heady wyvern]

Summoning the freighter from a planetary surface might give you a better idea of scale, otherwise I have no clue.

[somber ore]

Why the hell didn't I think to place a marker below the stern and fly to the bow? Thank you!

[heady wyvern]

Just know that certain Capitals are longer than others. Your measurement is not going to be absolute.

[somber ore]

I'll be measuring a Tier 3 Resurgent

[indigo smelt]

You used to be able to fly out of the hangar.

[timid mist]

btw in Binaries/SETTINGS/GCUSERSETTINGSDATA.MXML this is what it looks like with all of the twitch rewards unlocked (minus the last one)

also i have the first tier of season rewards unlocked which is shown there

might be worth checking if you can just add in lines with the appropriate descriptor names for the season rewards to unlock stuff without actually playing lol

also might be possible to sneak a look at future twitch rewards by guessing numbers

[indigo smelt]

Yes, but are any twitch rewards not found on the QS store or the new game mode?

That is all I need to know about twitch rewards.

[timid mist]

I highly doubt there will be any new stuff in the twitch drops, it's likely just account-based QS rewards vs save-based

i'm getting them just so I can have all the QS items on any save instead of grinding QS if I want a helmet lol

[indigo smelt]

Weekend missions?

[timid mist]

what about them?

[indigo smelt]

They are an option.

[timid mist]

yeah but they are infrequent and only apply to one save

the twitch drops are redeemable on every save

[indigo smelt]

Or save editor, though that would mean not really having earned them. Though save editor or twitch drop, it makes no difference other than the latter being a slot machine.

[timid mist]

Save editor would require me to edit every save I make to have every item, i'm fine with passively getting them with a muted Twitch stream on my phone for a few hours lol

I'm sure there will still be some stuff in the QS shop that I need to buy, no issues doing some weekend missions for those

[acoustic yacht]

So do we think they're going to do anything different with expeditions down the line, or is it always going to be "Just do everything again' each time

[timid mist]

I think it'll be different but idk if it'll be meaningfully different. Might be that they try to match future seasons with new content updates so they can inject some more variability + introductions to new content

[acoustic yacht]

I mean I know there's only so much variation on the core mechanics you can do, but once I looked at the other phases last night I was just like "I can't be arsed to do all this again"

It's a cool option if you're really wanting to start a new save though

[timid mist]

it ends up feeling very accelerated since the rewards from the previous tiers generally help a lot towards the goals in the future ones, but I understand what you're saying

my guess is they do plan on injecting some new content into it as the game evolves more but they want to make sure the actual idea functions properly with existing mechanics first lol

[acoustic yacht]

That's a reasonable assumption

[somber ore]

How do you get a distance readout from markers?

[timid mist]

are you talking about in your analysis visor?

if so, when you're within a certain range (idk the range) it shows distance instead of time

[crisp fern]

So, not a fan of this:

Fixed an issue that could cause an expedition to end prematurely, if the player loads their expedition save from the frontend while the server is still verifying the download of the expedition details.
This means in some way Expeditions aren't altogether baked into the update, but instead are still downloaded after the fact. I'll have to test it, but raises concerns regarding just what happens if you can't connect to them/go offline/etc.

[crisp fern]

there's stuff at the planetary archives for some more worldbuilding, and Desolation derelicts have some interesting stories

[somber ore]

It shows the distance on the compass when in a starship. A resurgent-class freighter is ~5000 units long, but I can't be 100% sure if a unit is a meter, or smaller, or bigger.

[storm shell]

Wait , you can unlock the lot of them like that?

[craggy sluice]

Which is longer? Resurgent or Dreadnought?

[mental socket]

from this

[timid mist]

@storm shell not sure, didn't actually try. just noticed the list of them in this file so I assume you can, unless they do checks on your progress throughout the whole thing.

[pallid stump]

Just discovered a crashed freighter captained by someone who doesn't appear to be of any race we know of.

He/she mentioned going home to their child and noted how their race's social structure is wildly different compared to the others.

[true kayak]

pics

does it not look like anomaly or explorer race

[pallid stump]

Forgot to say crashed. Oops.

[mighty rampart]

was this always blurry?

[mighty rampart]

I've been playing offline, so far no issues except that even if I was online, discovery services dont seem to be working

only on this save, its fine in my old save

[real sapphire]

seems like infested planet have some new names, one of it i saw was "Terrorsphere"

[compact coyote]

Dude Artemis was clearly in Justice league. Pfff Artemis isnt dead guys

[crisp fern]

i tested this later, going completely offline not just multiplayer disabled, & confirmed my concerns. You cannot start Expeditions offline.

[mighty rampart]

oh I'm dumb I thought you just meant turning mp off in network settings

yeah it kinda makes sense that they'd require Expeditions to be connected to the internet otherwise it could break stuff like base overlapping and such

[tepid iris]

are ny of these except the bottom ones unlocked through the rewards of the expeditoin?

[tepid iris]

so the first hub is an archive building?

is there an easy way to return there later?

[elfin void]

||when you find Artemis at the beginning of the game, she is trapped in the simulation you put her into||

[hexed musk]

Wow when does the story get that far? And 100% thought it was a dude

[wide storm]

I seem to recall the V'ykeen Mech-Priest you hire being described with 'he' in some of the dialogue. Basically everyone in the game is referred to with a neutral they/their.

[thick pike]

Hey so I just got to the fifth rendezvous point, the portal asks for glyphs, is it just like a normal portal or is there a special one I can use for the expedition?

[naive hedge]

wtf is htis

this

[thick pike]

An asteroid larvae

🤷‍♂️

[naive hedge]

and what can i do with it XD

it looks kinda cute

[thick pike]

I got a Dyson sphere, I shot it and I got nanites for breaking it

[heady wyvern]

The writing exclusively uses they/them for pretty much everyone, so Artemis's gender can be described as just "Traveller."

[crisp fern]

well here's the other thing to this tho...You can totally play/resume an already created Expedition save completely offline, so even if that were the reason...It doesn't quite stick, lol

[mighty rampart]

ah, then I guess its only for the part about downloading the resources needed

[pallid stump]

Wait 'til you find the Grave of the Ocean King.

[hexed musk]

Question if i remember right way back during the early days of nms when you finished atlas quest you got your own planet right?

@crisp fern

Or anyone who knows really lol

[crisp fern]

no, you did not. It was strongly suggested that you generated a new star system, but in reality there was never any such star system generated.

At least, to the best of my knowledge there was never any evidence found that a star system was ever in fact created/generated by your actions.

One could very easily argue, however, that the real revelation of the Atlas Path is that you, as a traveler, were helping generate the universe all along by traveling & exploring its planets, given that none of them fully exist until they're experienced/observed, courtesy of how the underlying tech operates.

[hexed musk]

Oh wow

It would be cool to get out own planet the exact way we want it

[crisp fern]

i mean would it tho. exploring something you've created removes much of the mystery that makes exploring something compelling to begin with imo

[tepid iris]

any summary yet on datamining?

[dapper axle]

So my question has to do with the expeditions

But I wanted to transfer some of the non-phase customization objects to another character

specifically, the cleansed by fire's horrific-flesh helmet customization

The other acoount I want to send the customizations to is a normal in euclid, and my current expedition character is also in euclid

[mighty rampart]

You can't do those, either you buy them again after earning QS in those saves or if you're on PC you can save edit it

[dapper axle]

Oof

Alright

[tidal knot]

Im not entirely sure what to do now:|| I could insert the heart of the sun into the atlas and be done with that, artemis is already dead and "alive" in the simulation in the anomaly but I'm also very close to the center of the galaxy. Should I start with the latter because that story seems to be separate from the others?||

[indigo smelt]

Is Golden Alpha Vector more manueverable than other S-class fighters?

Anyone checked what happens when you reach the center in exp?

[plush sigil]

my current mission is "the purge"

can anyone help me to know what to do?

[heady wyvern]

@plush sigil warp

[plush sigil]

am okay now, thank you!

[dapper axle]

Need some more help

With expeditions

Not sure how to get The Glass Bead in Phase 5 of the expedition

I've gone to multiple underwater ruins and looted them

And none of them fufilled it

What is the abyssial treasure they are talking about

[sage cairn]

@dapper axle see here the replies https://amp.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/miw9yz/the_glass_bead/

[uncut harness]

So first I gotta kill that underwater creature in submerged buildings, get its eye, scan for submerged ruins, trade the eye

And then I'll get that weird treasure?

[uncut harness]

wait wait wait.... really.....???

so Artemis was always there?

[uncut harness]

correct

you can also get those abyssal treasures from random pulse encounters but...

deppends on teh system...

aaw also inside derelict freighters as well...

but yeah 😛

[uncut harness]

eeeh I think Artemis is just androgyn and agender

so whatever way works I guess

[hexed musk]

Makes sense its an alien

[uncut harness]

no.. eeh Artemis its a traveller

like us

so yeah

travellers arent bound to concepts like gender... xD

they are just anomalies

now then since Artemis is named after the greek goddess of hunt.. yeah its also natural to refer to Artemis using she... so yeah 🤷‍♂️

and well yeah in Greek Mythology, Artemis was Apollo's sister so yeah also natural to assume both Artemis and Apollo were really close friends before they split

[elfin void]

Are you the first or the last

[elfin void]

Yeah he specifically has a wife and child that he left behind

To work for you

Aside from that only geks tend to refer to their gender

According to the lore some geks are really just cyborgs and you can’t even tell

Artemis’ gender is probably “orthogonal” like most things “are”

[uncut harness]

well the truth is you are both... or can be both

is like on Bioshock Infinite

Head, or Tails?

The First if you refuse the Atlas, but The Last if you reset the Atlas

but ultimately... travellers are inevitably drawn to the center of the galaxy....

and then proceed cuz its their nature to do so... Even -null- couldn't avoid it

so yeah overall... is just an infinite loop...

// 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 16 //

[kind salmon]

It seems equal ish

Maybe a bit better

But goddamn does it look nice

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/212051634790858754/828622988601065503/20210405093129_1.jpg

[uncut harness]

The only thing that keeps me away from it is that submerged ruinnnn

[dapper axle]

Didn't see that lol

[plain shore]

Why does the atlas just like.. stop giving you warp fuel?

it was like the first 3 its like here take these warp fuels and now its like eh. got him hooked. no more warp fuel for you.

[thin furnace]

Someone remind me what the Sentinels are, again

Former security protocols of the Atlas that went rogue, right? or am I remembering wrong

[umbral skiff]

Didn't go rogue; the protocol changed. Sole objective is to eliminate anomalies.

[ebon shadow]

Nice! Still trying to find my squid!

[plain wadi]

If you cant find it, you can go to an abandoned freighter

I'm not saying its guaranteed

But I got mine that way

[uncut harness]

Yeah former security protocolos known as the Aerons

Then later became the Sentinels ....

As the Aerons failed holding the First Spawn....

And well then the Sentinels just eeeh got caught by the Vy'keens in a long war...

As they were seen as a new menace...

And things went kinda crazy there....

Which explains some of the crashed freighters logs 👀

So yeah some of these Sentinels still uphold those former security protocols but the Atlas has no control over them...

And some of them have also gone rogue but now then... These corrupted sentinels are hmm a special case so to say...

As they are the remnants or Who knows... Maybe a reccon force....

Of some other galaxy iteration... Where things went really wild and out of hand for the Atlas... 👀

Of Galactical Genocide proportions ehem... Yeah

Cuz yeah that iteration didnt get reset no ...

That galaxy iteration was purged and vanished

by that sentinel force no less...

and now that force has somehow succesfuly managed to breach into our actual iterations where the Travellers live... this is supported by Nada as he mentioned that now dimensions are converging and so due the Atlas agony... eh so yup

[dapper axle]

Weird

Thx, do you a screenshot of the item that did it?

[pure pulsar]

hey, has there been any datamined stuff from this update?

[sly hemlock]

Does anyone remember or have a base in a Rendezvous Point with big, indestructible trees and extreme weather?

I'm trying to reach it again but I have no idea which station it was and which system was it ;_;

[plain wadi]

Yeah I was confused as hell but I didn't complain

[plain wadi]

I didnt, sorry, but ill try and remember what is was

[dapper axle]

ohdeargodistillcantfindit

[dapper axle]

Was it like the blob you interact with to get the key asked for a hypno eye, or was it one of the chests?

[plain wadi]

It was a chest

@dapper axle

[dapper axle]

Ah

Ok

So instead of a living pearl it took hypno eye

[elfin void]

Basically any swamp planet has this

[obtuse tree]

Hello, where to find the horrific treasure for the expedition ?

[iron tide]

Go maybe in #nms-questions people will maybe help you there

More luck there

[grave prawn]

you need to scan for underwater ruins with the nautilon. Talk to the "bubbles" there. Repeat until you find a ruin where you're given the dialog option to give an eye (dropped by the abyssal horrors) and you'll get the treasure in return

it's long and annoying, good luck

[obtuse tree]

@grave prawn Thx i've managed to do it, just need to wait freighter expedition and im done with eveythings xD

[grave prawn]

nice. I'm in the same boat, booting the game up twice a day to manage expeditions and that's it

really wish there was a way to speed things up

[mighty rampart]

huhu

probably cant be constructed anyway even if I make my char learn it

[quick summit]

Probably for later research.

[mighty rampart]

PCMR people be like

[nocturne zephyr]

hmmmm if they’re adding a fireplace, it would be silly of them not to add a campfire

[icy citrus]

A little one

[nocturne zephyr]

yeah

[icy citrus]

I blew that joke so bad - forgot the right name

The last one would have been the correct response

[nocturne zephyr]

[severe sun]

A campfire would be the last thing they’d add.

[severe sun]

FTFY

[stuck hinge]

It would be their “last campfire”

[icy citrus]

Thanks

[nocturne zephyr]

[idle jay]

[nocturne zephyr]

[mental socket]

Has there been any significant datamines after expeditions?

[icy citrus]

Only thing I saw was the next batch of QS items, so not to my knowledge

[mental socket]

Yeah and those were already added pre-expeditions

The fireplace and volcanic biome plants

[icy citrus]

And some titles, aye

[kind salmon]

[hybrid pendant]

@wind panther didnt thought to ask u but since expedition did we found anything in the files?

[wind panther]

I haven't seen anything personally, but haven't had time to look. I've heard others say something about a dlss dll and maybe new water files

[true kayak]

so water will actually flow and have actual physics now? that's hype

[uncut harness]

Water... Nice, water needs some love in this game.

[mental socket]

What, where are the files related to actual water physics?

Need to know

I was thinking of stuff like just better water rendering

[true kayak]

I dont know much about it either mate

[mighty rampart]

sounds more like updated water textures to me

[tepid iris]

wonder if we'll ever get ray-tracing in NMS 😛

[nocturne zephyr]

probably

though it’d drastically change the visual aesthetic

once again

[uncut harness]

Here's what I found in the Modding discord, from Rayrod:

there appears to be new test water materials

I haven't been able to find anything else.

[nocturne zephyr]

nice!

[austere island]

Currently doing main quest line and with all that stuff, will my game save be deleted at some point if make that decision in game?)))

Hello guys, kinda silly question.

[icy citrus]

No

You are good

[austere island]

I mean there is a game mode where if die ur save will get deleted if u die, i was wondering is there anything like that if u make some desicion in game?

@icy citrus ok thx!

[icy citrus]

Permadeath mode will end your game on death

Hence the name lol

But other than that nothing will delete your save because of in game choices

[umbral ingot]

So I'm at the end where I have to choose whether to reset or not, does resetting have any gameplay implications at all, with portals or planets or anything at all?

[final ivy]

Resetting doesn't limit you, no. Slightly different outcomes, but nothing permanent.

[umbral ingot]

Aight

[glacial lotus]

Hey guys I came back to try expeditions and love it, but havnt played since 2017 , so much has changed! Is there a website or YouTube channel you guys recommend for noobs!?

[tepid iris]

you can check the releases on the website I guess

https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/

go to the last update you saw

and skip the patches

[uncut harness]

spoiler ||I've seen an article in the archives mentioning the gek being terrified of those "aliens" at one stage which is why they purposefully left their home planets so the Vy'keen can deal with the aliens . The korvax were slaves of the gek and apparently the korvax were the main victims of these "aliens"||

and ||yeah the gek used the korvax in slaughter for nanites||

|| so fuck the gek ||

[rancid ether]

Yeah, so the lore (as i understand it) is there are two major entities, Atlas and the Abyss. What the Abyss actually is is not well explained afaik, but the arguement could be made it has some tie in to the korvax slaving.
Also, dont need spoiler tags here, which is why this channel is more conveniently

[uncut harness]

oh cool cool

yeah I've read about the abyss and seen it mentioned in random dialog once or twice

[rancid ether]

Mainly because of all the lore surrounding the Korvax and water, so it makes sense that theres some connection to the Abyss in some way

[uncut harness]

NPCs never really talk about the abyss wierdly

the korvax avoid it

brb

[rancid ether]

No, but the archives have calls to ocean and water references, as well as the boundary terminals.

In fact, one such reference is made at the rz1 archive for Expeditions 1. The Korvax are referred to as "those that tend to the streams" or something like that (cant recall exactly atm).

[uncut harness]

ooo interesting

[icy citrus]

The Abyss is referenced as an entity with a similar signature to the Atlas, calling out from beneath the waves

Beneath the waves is a phrase used multiple times as well in other lore parts

[uncut harness]

ye I've read about it

pretty cool

[icy citrus]

So, there are mentions of other races as well - including an aquatic one

Maybe they are with the Abyss, and not the Atlas

[uncut harness]

but they praise the atlas?

[rancid ether]

Unrelated but reminds me of a lyric from a song about Mars. 🤔

[icy citrus]

Not mentioned, I'm just tying Abyss to water, and associating them out of speculation

[uncut harness]

ooo oki

[rancid ether]

Did we ever find out what happened to Ariadne and why Hesperus is alive again? Ariadne is sus af now

[icy citrus]

I think they are both Abyss agents now, remember how it mentioned the Abyss was cable of subverting even the most loyal

Maybe I just want a confrontation

Hmmm

[rancid ether]

I get the feeling with the procedural nature of the weekend events going forward, there might not be any resolution.

[icy citrus]

Not any time soon for sure

They do keep adding Abyss mentions though

Not just in lore, but as part of the procgen naming

[rancid ether]

Right, and i know weekend 1 had something to do Perses and an old friend. I dont recall last weeks story tho

[icy citrus]

I missed it 💔

[crystal goblet]

Can someone give me a synopsis of the story so far? I did the Artemis and Atlas Paths so I know those, I did the Boundary Failure stuff so I know about Telamon, and I've read a lot of the lore regarding the races. However, I've been playing a lot of other games recently and didn't partake much in the weekly missions and stuff, which as far as I know advanced some sort of storyline at least a little bit, so I'm curious about what it involved. I know Ariadne played some role in it but I don't any actual details about them, or anything else for that matter

[thin furnace]

Is there a lore reason why terminal overseers and frigate captains get auto-translated but other people don't?

[wind panther]

Some new multitool functionality was added with 3.3. Spawner and SpawnerAlt

[mighty rampart]

that kinda sounds like placing mines or something

[prime spade]

My guess is that translator technology exists, but isn't widely owned by the general population (Or, fitted as standard to all carapaces in the case of the Korvax).

Most stuff you need to translate afterall is when you are speaking to members of a species general population, or when interacting with things like data repositories and monoliths.

But, mostly it's a conceit to the need to give the player information :p - For example why is the data repository interface in their native tongue, but the data stored within auto-translated?

And that's to say nothing of ||the Atlas itself, which speaks to you in it's native language during the Atlas path, but communicates to you directly during the Artemis/-null- storyline - and to further confuse matters, the monoliths in the artemis storyline do communicate partially in the Atlas language||

[icy citrus]

No need for the tag in here

[sonic rivet]

my current headcanon is that in-game bugs ||are the simulation glitching||

[icy citrus]

Traveller friends, this is spoiler channel no need to mark em

[prime spade]

Gonna be honest. There is layers of spoilers in NMS. It's pretty easy to finish what outwardly looks like 'the story' - ie. the Artemis/Atlas arcs, think you've seen everything, come to the spoiler section to talk about 'the game', only to realise you've barely scratched the surface :p

(Telamon, The World of Glass, The Redacted Race, Remembrance, The Abyss etc)

[icy citrus]

Some nice additions with the Archives as well

[prime spade]

Speaking of, they still havn't revealed the full extent of what the abyss represents right? - There's nods and clues to it everywhere, but there's no outright unified answer yet.

[icy citrus]

Nope

Just teases

Most descriptive is still one of the originals - power similar in nature to the Atlas

[prime spade]

I was hoping the new season of weekend missions might tell us more, but they just seem to be standard proc-gen missions rather than having any unique dialogue like some of the past seasons

Oh well, there's always next major update... there's no way update 16/16 won't also drop some lore on us ;p

[austere island]

Hello guys just finished (i think) main story line. And have a confusing state of emptiness and dissatisfaction. MB its a localization problem but many times during quest line i got lost, because things happened out of nowhere and i was feeling that i missed something. But all those times i was trying to get back to the lore and story of main quest. Finally i ended up with the quest with creating «Heart of the sun” i think, its called so in my localization, buuut i didn’t get all the portal glyphs when i got to the last atlas interface, so i went to some NPC to gain them. BUUUT after i got all 16, i noticed that my quest number of glyphs is still 12/16, i randomly warped to another system, number changed to 13, i was like ok, i did it till 16 and then was told to get to the portal, i said ok. Found it, got in and then....
BOOOOOM, come on boi, time to choose the faith of the universe!
WAIT! What?! What are the “heart of the sun” for? And previous interface?! Wtf? What is that “memory” thing??? No wait i need to get out and figure out what to do. Ok u dont want to blow up universe? BB! And by the way u forget how to create “memory”! I was like... wtf? What was that? What the hell? Had 0% understanding what happened, but as it show now, i finished main quest.. how? Dont know, dont feel it, dont get it.
So the question is: wtf?
And the Atlas language, what it for? There is even no tracker of how many words i learned, and i never used them, but i tried to pop all this balls, to learn more looks like for no reason. I also maxed out rep with korvax, without understanding what it does, except give u name Echo...
So if anyone can explain stuff to me that would be great. Thank you if u read all of it.

[heady wyvern]

@austere island Creating the "Heart of the Sun" is not the main quest.

oh

wait

also the developers are english so it's definitely not a localization thing

[austere island]

@heady wyvern my game is in russian

Still doesnt answer my questions but thx

[heady wyvern]

Oh

My apologies

So uhh

Yeah.

[austere island]

Its ok

[pine igloo]

Heart of the sun is a component for the memory craft u get by finishing the story. The memory along with atlas passes allows u to access areas on stations and structures to read lore elements about the atlas's life

Oh and the memory increases ur shield capacity

Was it helpful ?

[austere island]

@pine igloo i didnt made memory and i currently cant find recipe for it it just doesnt appear in a list of things i can craft.

[pine igloo]

Finish the main storyline aka the purge

The quest following 16/16

[austere island]

I think i did, my current quest say enjoy the galaxy

[pine igloo]

Oh

Do u reached the galactic center to.meet one last time the atlas ?

[austere island]

I idid it there was a countdown then i teleporteld to atlas and declined the offer, i saw that u learned “memory” but after i said no to the choice atlas gave me, he teleported me and i dont have this recipe

[austere island]

No no i didnt, should i?

I find 16 glyphs, teleported to the world, then countdown, then teleported to atlas, then said no and thats all

[pine igloo]

It was supposed to be thevplace u meet the atlas to reset or not the simulation

[icy citrus]

Atlas path doesn't reward the starbirth item, unless you 'create' a star

[pine igloo]

What

We're talking of the main quest

[icy citrus]

You are playing the Artemis quest

You need to switch galaxies for HOS

But it isn't meeting the atlas at the center

[austere island]

Why is it telling me to enjoy galaxy now then already?

[pine igloo]

Game is probably bugged

[icy citrus]

Because you chose no - that was the end off the quest

That is a glitch though, you are supposed to receive the recipe when you awake

Did you try install, and not craft?

[austere island]

Install?

[icy citrus]

Yes, instead of crafting, do install and see if the bp was awarded

It's tech

[austere island]

Also at the end i think atlas said i could be back anytime

[icy citrus]

Yes, but it was lying

[austere island]

I’ll try ok

[icy citrus]

You can visit atlas stations, but not do that choice again

[austere island]

Ok

And what is Atlas language for again?

[icy citrus]

Just for understanding more of what it says

More effective if you grab a bunch of words before the Atlas path

Which of course we realize after most of the interactions are already done

[austere island]

I mean.. he always say giberish in the beginnig, and then speaks in english/russian. You say this first text could be translated?

[icy citrus]

And some of the other times it pops up, yeah

There are like 200 words I think

You can't be fluent

Just get some more translated

[austere island]

Hmm, ok. I know about 300+ in korvax though...

[icy citrus]

The races have much more words

[austere island]

Yeah

So i cant still speak to atlas through other interfaces right?

I dont mean to make the choice, just to speak

And if i go to the center i just open another galaxy, and starbirth is just for creating stars

All correct?

[icy citrus]

Yesss? I haven't done the path in awhile -it could have changed for talking to the Atlas more - should be able to visit though

Starbirth is kinda misleading in that - you don't truly create a star - what happens is you are directed to a blackhole, which then takes you to an undiscovered system

So 'create'

[austere island]

Ok

[icy citrus]

It a,so adds +1 to shield tech

Those + signs

If you place it next to the Heart of the Sun, it adds 3

Well they do, together

Not hos

What's it called/...

Remembrance

It needs a heart of the sun as one of its components

[uncut harness]

Are there any consequences of resetting the simulation that I should know about before making my decision?

[icy citrus]

Your tech is gonna get damaged, multitool, and anything in the ship and suit that isnt in tech slots

But you don't lose anything

You can even come back to Euclid now, and then back to wherever you go

Make a base in the new place before doing that

As a tip, you can switch to a bad multitool and ship to cut down on repairs

[uncut harness]

Perfect, thanks

[austere island]

@icy citrus thank you for answers

[icy citrus]

Np, get it installed?

[austere island]

Didnt get to pc yet) but i will when i get home

[icy citrus]

Good deal, have fun traveller

[austere island]

@icy citrus Its there thx!

[mossy oak]

soo what is the community expedition?

[icy citrus]

Nice, np

[icy citrus]

A new mode that starts you fresh, in the same system as everyone else starts in - has various goals to accomplish within the 2 month timeframe

not spoilers though, hit us up in #no-mans-sky

[austere island]

@icy citrus cant select galaxy core as a target for some reason

[icy citrus]

Hmm, I might be able to use it here, dunno

[icy citrus]

There ya go @austere island

[uncut harness]

If I go to the centre can I continue playing after?

[icy citrus]

Yes

[elfin void]

null did nothing wrong

[compact coyote]

I'm still waiting to have a drink with Apollo

[austere island]

@icy citrus thx!

[uncut harness]

the atlas is red that's my spoiler

[covert moon]

I just ||killed artemis|| and ive never felt good and bad like this about a video game.

[compact coyote]

That decision always makes me sad

[dapper quiver]

This might be a stupid questions - can you do the atlas path more than once to get to a new galaxy?

[wide storm]

No.

[prime spade]

Firstly it's The Purge, not the Atlas Path which lets you hop to a new galaxy, which isn't repeatable. Secondly, you'll always be sent to the same 4 galaxies far as I know, regardless which galaxy you were in when you finished the quest.

[dapper quiver]

The purge????

[icy citrus]

Not quite, you get sent to one of the four types, whichever is next in line based on the galaxy you pick from

[prime spade]

Yeah, the final/penultimate stage of the 'main' story arc commonly known as "The Artemis Path", starts with 'Awakenings' (Fix your ship and get into space), ends with 'The Purge' (Choice to reset the simulation, and pick the new galaxy)

Technically it ends with 'New Beginnings', but that is sort've a doorstop quest that sits open indefinitely after The Purge

[uncut harness]

Nice

But you lose anything changing galaxy ? @grizzled trench

[grizzled trench]

No, just some upgrades and tech you need to repair

[uncut harness]

And i can go back to my galaxy?

Or go to others?

[grizzled trench]

[fast topaz]

If you have base there then you can go back as i know

[uncut harness]

Nice

And can you go to one of the other galaxys ?

Thanks for the help btw

[grizzled trench]

yw!

[thin furnace]

So, I just finished the Atlas Path

I think?

The final objective was to locate a Black Hole

Is that the reward for finishing the path? All black holes become permanently marked?

• the Star Seed

[icy citrus]

Yep, basically

The flavor text is that you created that system and the blackhole drops you there

[thin furnace]

Ah

Imagine if completing the questline DID create a new system tho

[icy citrus]

That would be amazing

[thin furnace]

Like it just

uses the procgen rules

[icy citrus]

Yeah, procgen it right then

[thin furnace]

and spawns a new star system

[icy citrus]

That would be badass, even if the system sucked for what you wanted

[thin furnace]

I do see ways that could be abused, though. Say, if someone uses some sort of save edit to allow them to repeat the atlas ending as many times as they want

[icy citrus]

Well, you can already do the last step multiple times, so yeah that would need addressing

[thin furnace]

Could that potentially be abused with bot accounts and the like to essentially ddos HG's servers?

send too many system creation requests in quick succession

[icy citrus]

Oh I have no tech knowledge at all - no clue

[thin furnace]

......Is there

any way to get it to stop going "Alert: Navigational Data Received" and forcing you to sit there as it points you towards a black hole?

[icy citrus]

Deselect that as active

?

[thin furnace]

Alright

Oh, I didn't know it was possible for a system to have two black holes

[icy citrus]

It's been awhile for me, but I don't get that - just see them on the map

[icy citrus]

Say what

[thin furnace]

This system has two blackhole markers in the galactic map

[icy citrus]

Weird, maybe just a bug- has only one?

[thin furnace]

Maybe it means that a rogue black hole is a guaranteed pulse encounter in this system?

Alongside the stationary one

Only one black hole here, yeah probably a bug

[dire ocean]

So, for the Rocketman milestone thing: boosting / hovering doesn't count? Do I have to be free falling for the 30 seconds?

[rancid ether]

Two black hole symbols on the same system in the galaxy map means hyper blackhole.
Assuming you're in the fade? (oh wow, that comment was like 12 hours ago haha, sorry)

[dire ocean]

What do the Blue Diamond Freighter symbols mean, on the Galaxy map?
Also, if you use a Planetary Chart, and the result tells you the ping is Outside local system, check galaxy map, what would the ping result look like?

[mental socket]

Hmm? The blue frigate icons are your fleet on their expedition

if you sent them out

You can warp into the systems and find them there.

The ping I can't tell. Probably similar to how missions are shown on systems?

[covert moon]

so am I ||apollo||?

[heady wyvern]

I'd assume not.

I'd like to believe you're not talking to yourself, @covert moon.

[covert moon]

IS ME TRAVELLER APOLLO

[heady wyvern]

No.
@covert moon

I'm fairly sure that's something everyone agrees with; you are you and nobody else is.

[covert moon]

just confused about the closing part of the 16/16 mission

[somber verge]

so uh...it says speak wih the atlas but there is no atlas

[reef trellis]

Where are you?

[somber verge]

here

[reef trellis]

Look for a terminal, and interact with it.

[somber verge]

oh i thought i jsut put the thing in the hole lol

[reef trellis]

nope

[somber verge]

its not there?

[reef trellis]

Is there some big orb anywhere?

[somber verge]

no

[reef trellis]

I have no idea as to what's going on.

[somber verge]

i mean i assumed i was suposed to put this thing in the hole

[reef trellis]

You interact with the Atlas, scream a lot, and then you get to use the seeds after some dialogue. Otherwise, you may have already done that. Do you have all of the seeds?

[somber verge]

i think thats the last one

[reef trellis]

You need to have all of the seeds in your inventory in order to do the Atlas thing.

[somber verge]

wait i need one of each? thats... a lot of crafting lol

[reef trellis]

Yeah.

I crafted duplicates due to the fact you need one of each.

[somber verge]

wait pout them in one at a time or all at once?

[reef trellis]

Don't do that with the Heart of the Sun though.

It puts them all in for you during dialogue.

[somber verge]

but do i need the 10 inventory slots? or can i do one at a time

[reef trellis]

You need all ten available.

Like I said, all of the seeds in order to finish the game.

[somber verge]

to make sure i got this right, all 10 in inventory

[reef trellis]

Yes, all of the seeds in your inventory.

[icy citrus]

No

Not unless there has been a change with Expeditions

Or bugged or something

You should only need the hots

[somber verge]

so what do i do with it? i have no interactions avaliible witht he hole thingy

[icy citrus]

I.m catching up

Are there a bunch of podium looking things surrounding that?

[somber verge]

i think so?

[icy citrus]

Like in a half circle, lining the back

Interact with those

All of them

[reef trellis]

Dammit, I forgot the universe thingies!

Oops.

[icy citrus]

Are they raising up?

When you interact?

[covert moon]

YOU NEED ONE OF EACH

OH MY GODDDDD

[somber verge]

oh i see now the first has like a light coming up form iit

[covert moon]

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK

[reef trellis]

You don't, I was mistaken.

[icy citrus]

Good, so that for them all, then interact with the center one

[covert moon]

pog

[somber verge]

||welp i have no idea whats goign to happen but itl probably destroy evertyjing or awaken a god or somthing idk||

[icy citrus]

Sweet!

[somber verge]

oh

[icy citrus]

Birth

[somber verge]

....nah not worth it

[reef trellis]

Bad idea.

[icy citrus]

You miss a blueprint you can never get again in that save

Just saying

It doesn't destroy you or anything, don't worry about that

[reef trellis]

||It's Rememberance, a very important lore item.||

[icy citrus]

It is the other one, that's for story

[somber verge]

||so what do i do with the star seed?||

[icy citrus]

It is very nice of you, but spoiler tags are not required here.

It's a blueprint for you to install, tech

Adds another hp - you know those things under your shield?

Combined with the other they add 3

The one hemo mentioned

[errant juniper]

so i have a galactic center question || what happens exactly? the story is saying stuff about resetting and I'm wondering what that entails. If it resets my save I'mma piss myself in rage ngl.||

[reef trellis]

It does. You start off like you did when you started the game, with your original multitool, ship, ect, but your main shit is damaged.

[errant juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/hide-the-pain-harold-gif-10575677

[reef trellis]

Whoops, worded that wrong. You retain your current things, and lose your items.

[errant juniper]

including freighter and frigates? that's the real worry. i don't care about losing minor things like resource stacks. I just really like how my capital ship looks.

[icy citrus]

You don't lose anything, including access to previous bases. Your tech not in tech slots will be damaged on your suit,ship and multitool

Items in inventory and storage are protected

If you do decide to go back, remember to place a base in your current so you can return easily

[reef trellis]

oops again

i should research more

[mental socket]

this

[rancid ether]

Podium to the left. Go in a circle

[fast topaz]

oh my god

yeah i was doing that

[icy citrus]

Punch it?

[hot rune]

||so are the gek -actually- just peaceful traders in the current time period? They spend an AWFUL lot of time rambling on and on about how they're not bad dudes anymore for someone who's not a bad dude...||

"I think he doth protest too much" and all that

[rancid ether]

One of the racial archives (cant recall which) mentions that a ridiculously small percentage of the modern Gek identify with the ideas of the First Spawn. Another archive (or maybe a different lore location) mentions that they became hyper focused on mercantilism after the Korvax messed with their genetics.
The Korvax are also far from innocent btw, they even attempted to genetically modify the Vykeen at one point but it resulted in failure.

[ocean wyvern]

@icy citrus so do the 3 races actually know how their stuff works in NMS?

Like do they just use it or do they know how to keep making more stuff and improving it

[icy citrus]

They use words, but that isnt something really delved into - ithey make their own tech, referred to especially in the manufacturing logs

But they don't elucidate beyond names

[ocean wyvern]

Okie

[icy citrus]

Surface tech, like a lot of early Star Trek

Pretty names, no specs

[ocean wyvern]

Just wondering cuz if they became advanced enough and automated enough they may just be able to use things but the tech makes itself on some level

But if its not clear I can roll with that 😊

[icy citrus]

Well there is a bit of that mentioned - again mostly manufacturing facilities. Some of those are automated

I just kinda go with, they do make their own tech, and they do have vast automated facilities

[forest oriole]

how do you do both?

[icy citrus]

The choice you mean?

[forest oriole]

yes

[icy citrus]

Ooof

I ended it

But it was a tough decision for me

Only way to do both is to have 2 saves , or I mean you could manually save beforehand and switch if you don't like it

[rich mica]

So I only get the glyphs once I do the "reset simulation" step of the artemis questline?

Thats not gonna reset my stuff tho, right?

[icy citrus]

That isn't how you get the glyphs

During the purge, you will warp 16 times and receive the glyphs one by one

If you choose to reset - that won't reset your stuff. You keep all possessions and inventory

What will happen is that your active ship, multitool and suit will break all tech not in tech slots

[rich mica]

Yeaa I see, I'm doing that right now

[icy citrus]

Ok good

The story about getting to the center will make sense as you finish it

Are you not receiving glyphs ?

[rich mica]

I am

I was just wondering if I had to actually reset or smth to be able to use them

[icy citrus]

Nope

You can actually start using them as soon as you can locate portals and get that first glyph

Need them all for the ability to dial all specific addresss

[rich mica]

Alright, thanks!

[icy citrus]

Np

[thin furnace]

Hm

I just encountered a Gek NPC at a minor settlement

based on the interaction and mini-mission i did for them, i'm like

99% sure i just met a First Spawn

Has anyone else had this encounter?

[icy citrus]

Not me, what happened?

[thin furnace]

I'll see if I can find the dialogue on the wiki

From what I remember, it went something like...

...My character could tell this Gek was different. They supposedly had a slightly bulkier frame, and a look of dark indifference on their face. And the pheromones they gave off reeked of death

[icy citrus]

Oooooo

Sounds very first Gek to me

The archives mention that they aren't all gone

[thin furnace]

Does the wiki keep a record of minor settlement NPC interactions?

[icy citrus]

No clue

[thin furnace]

Is it possible to have the same encounter twice?

Bc if I ever have it again, I'll record it

[icy citrus]

I would think so, maybe slightly different dialogue, but you can repeat all the other missions

[thin furnace]

Its very possible that encounter is coded to be very rare

to fit the fact that First Spawn are almost completely gone

[icy citrus]

Yeah, I have no idea

I want to find that now though

Was it a random npc on planet, or mission chain?

[thin furnace]

Random NPC

you know when you go to a single-pad minor settlement that has the technology dealer and trade terminal

They were in one of those

[uncut harness]

how many Atlas interfaces do I have to speak with to get past the "Gather Atlas Seeds" phase of the Atlas Path? I am on normal

[heady wyvern]

@uncut harness Until you get the Heart of the Sun. I'm going on a limb and saying the number is "16."

[uncut harness]

thanks

[heady wyvern]

You'll need to craft the Heart to continue.

[uncut harness]

I did 2 when I started doing other things, and now I've done about 6 in this session. so about 8 more

I just got the Heart of the Sun blueprint

it's still telling me to find more

[heady wyvern]

Craft it before you reach the next Interface. @uncut harness

[uncut harness]

I did

[heady wyvern]

And you're not getting anything else from the Interfaces?

[uncut harness]

I just got to the one right after the Heart

imma go inside now

is this good?

[heady wyvern]

Yes.

[uncut harness]

ok

What does the "Birth a new star" option do?

[heady wyvern]

@uncut harness Just birth the star. It doesn't really do much and you miss things if you don't.

[uncut harness]

ok, it doesn't reset my character or anything?

[heady wyvern]

Nope.

[uncut harness]

ok

[heady wyvern]

and I have to assure people of this every time people get cold feet at the Gateway Systems...

[uncut harness]

also what do the remembrance and star seed do

[heady wyvern]

Remembrance gives +1 to your health, +3 if placed adjacent to your Star Seed.

[uncut harness]

ok

[sterile hull]

Idk if you’re here or not but when I choose another galaxy what all do I lose

[brazen hill]

you dont losing anything

lose*

[reef trellis]

Yep. Don't lose anything. Things get damaged, but you don't lose anything.

[sterile hull]

So the only thing that’s really loss is my base?

[brazen hill]

nothing

everything will still be there

[sterile hull]

Wow ok

Thanks that’s a lot of pressure off my shoulders lmao

[brazen hill]

like you left it

Yeah i though i was gonna lose everything too xD

[sterile hull]

But wait can I travel back to the Euclid galaxy?

[reef trellis]

If you have bases back there. I always leave bases in my wake

[sterile hull]

Awesome ok thank you

[wooden flower]

Pretty sure you can just travel back with space stations you don’t need a base

I don’t bother travelling back to my base all the time when I want to hop galaxies

[jolly thicket]

You do actually need at least one base to travel back to a galaxy, if it goes off your space station list

the list of space stations is limited to a particular number

[quiet arch]

Idk if you would call this a spoiler but AAAAA

Ah got it thx

[icy citrus]

Np

[mental socket]

What a weird time for experimental update. Though they were done already

[heady wyvern]

Who knows? Bugs might still need to be fixed.

[spice gorge]

The Glass Bead or whatever is one of my last Expedition goals to meet. I heard lots of people whining about it. What's that mission? Is it actually so difficult? I imagine not.

[icy citrus]

Underwater ruins, get dialogue, repeat until the chance to offer hypnotic eye happens.
Oh yeah get an eye in your inventory ahead of time

[spice gorge]

Just one?

[icy citrus]

Yep just the one eye - different ruins of course for the dialogue

Try and get an island water world, not lakes

[subtle gorge]

If I remember they all need to be in the same system

[jolly thicket]

no they don't

[tame grotto]

The issue is that some of it feels misleading. If you know what you're doing, follow all the proper steps, it isn't so "difficult". After the 35th warp milestone, you get Dreams quest, which apparently is required for the Glass Bead milestone. Or better said, the Nautilon will not scan for the ruins until you've done Dreams quest. Once Nautilon is able to properly identify the ruins, you use it to scan under water to get to the ruins where you're given a Trident Key (you can use them to open chests but not a requirement). After so many ruins you talk to, you're given a chance to gift the ruin an Hypnotic Eye, at which point you're rewarded and the milestone is completed. It can take 3-4+ ruins for you to be given the chance to gift the infamous eye.

Since some players find the whole experience tedious, an alternative is to be rewarded the same thing via a Derelict or an Anomaly you shoot in space (which is obviously random). The ruins guarantees the reward needed for milestone.

@icy citrus does this sum it up? lmao Sucks i do forget proper names of certain things tho

[icy citrus]

Hypnotic Eye

[tame grotto]

ty!

fissed

[icy citrus]

[jovial violet]

You don't have to do Dreams of the Deep, though I have no doubt it helps. All Exocraft scanners are just very temperamental in the current game, with a range so small so as to be almost useless. You just have to know how to work around that awkwardness

It is possibly the most frustrating none-time-locked milestone in the entire expedition, though, lol

[tame grotto]

trust me, i tried. i had the nautilon with all the upgrades including the scanner. my friend who did the dreams quest, his nautilon pinged ruins just fine, same locations i'd try. the game is glitchy in this respect. hence the frustration for many players with this particular milestone.

[jovial violet]

Oh yeah, no doubts in my mind that it's a bug-related problem! I did definitely beeline it myself and didn't even wait for Dreams to trigger.

Part of the frustration is no doubt the inconsistency. For me at least, landing on the isolated islands in the middle of nowhere and melee jetpacking some ways out to the ocean before summoning the nautilon almost always got me a successful scan, but ymmv of course

[tame grotto]

i also made sure not to trigger the Dreams quest (avoiding the 35th warp milestone). and the nautilon refused to ping any ruins in different water planets. so my friend (who'd finished Dreams quest), figured he's help me troubleshoot it. and scanned with his nautilon, and sure enough, it found ruins in same areas where my nauti returned nothing. i was a bit frustrated to say the least lol at least got to get my milestone thanks to him.

[jovial violet]

This game's weirdly inconsistent sometimes. Glad you had some help to sort it out, at least!

[prisma oak]

....well, that's something I haven't ever seen before in years of No Man's Sky adventuring.

[heady wyvern]

@prisma oak Archives. Added within the past year. Absolutely massive, as you've no doubt found.

[prisma oak]

And a little weird regarding how they treat hazards.

[prisma oak]

What do the Communications/Utility/Appearance options do in them?

[heady wyvern]

Honestly

I've yet to find one myself, despite my time put in.

[prisma oak]

Oh. I found it on my starter world 👀

[heady wyvern]

I don't doubt that there's one on each planet

I just never got that lucky.

[prisma oak]

...it was right next to the cache I had to seek.

[heady wyvern]

...that's very lucky indeed.

[prisma oak]

Once I get the teleporter unlocked, I'll plop one on the Archive so you can check it out.

[elfin void]

theres a component trader, a trade terminal, landing pads, language teaching npc's, sells random charts, artifact exchangers, guild envoy, and an interactable station that gives lore

it's basically a station+

[severe quest]

I found this thing but I have no clue what it is for. Can someone tell me?

[rough depot]

Boundary failure

Has a terminal with lore

[severe quest]

No loot then? Thank you

[rough depot]

No loot

THE END OF ATLAS

[icy citrus]

16 is coming

[jovial violet]

The Atlas is dead, long live the Abyss

[prisma oak]

The Atlas is dead, long live the Atlas

[spice gorge]

Ok, so -- I chased all over trying to find the Dreams of Deep crew and completed that. I then went after the Glass Bead thing and looked for a underwater ruin. I found one with the scanner and that animated thing gave me a trident key. I scanned and found a chest under the ground there and used the key to open it. Still mission says 0/1 on finding a horrific artifact. I see now there are 3-4 other chests under the ground, but I have no other keys, and can't talk again to that ruin animated shiny thing. Do I need to keep finding different ruins under water until I find what it wants? What about those 3-4 other chests at this site, is there a way to get another key, right here? Tnx.

[icy citrus]

The chests are misleading - you won't get the artifact from them. You need to find more ruins and interact with them - eventually one will allow you to offer a hypnotic eye in return for the artifact needed. So have an eye with you while going to them

[spice gorge]

Thanks!

[spice gorge]

What do I do with the keys tho? I used the last one to open a chest. Is the key needed in the final solving of this thing?

[icy citrus]

Nope, just used for the chests

[spice gorge]

Bah, after my 2nd ruin I scanned to detect again and it sent me to the first ruin over again, and can't re-talk. I guess I'll fly farther away and summon the exo to scan. Odd.

[icy citrus]

It's picky, may want to flash to orbit and pretty far away

So I guess I'm hosed. I got to the one ruin where I could listen to what they had to say or give the eye, and I listened, thinking I'd re-talk and give the eye after. I could not re-talk. And I reloaded save before and have done 10 searches for a new ruin and I don't get a signal. So it seems I'm blocked from Expedition end goal. Sucks! My last manual save was a LONG time ago.

Quit game reloaded, etc.

Seems that can't be their intention -- if someone listens first, they don't get to end Expedition. Many hours in. Oy.

Nevermind!

Just found the goal

[wise crow]

Hi all, Question: I am about to reset the simulation however i was thinking should i do this in the hilbert galaxy (i got access via a friend). In my mind if i do it in the hilbert dimension it would give me access then to eisentam right?

[icy citrus]

Either Euclid or Hilbert, or any galaxy before Eissentam - it takes you to the first lush, normal, abandoned or extreme from the galaxy you complete it in

You need to choose Lush for Eissentam

[uncut harness]

Can someone explain the living ship thing to me

I've already collected all the organs

But I don't know what it means by a portal

It didn't take me to one

Wait

[heady wyvern]

Any portal.

[uncut harness]

But doesn't it send you through a portal?

Is it a regular portal

[heady wyvern]

It's any regular portal. Your egg, at this stage, should have a hint as to what glyphs to use at it. @uncut harness

[uncut harness]

?

Im trying to get one I found online

[heady wyvern]

oh

uhhh

wait

what does your log say about the quest?

[uncut harness]

It turns out I haven't gotten all parts

Flesh on metal bones

[heady wyvern]

Yeah.

And your egg says...?

[uncut harness]

I think this is the traveller one iirc

Cracking

[heady wyvern]

The description.

I don't remember the names of the stages.

[heady wyvern]

Ah

That's the superexotic stage

[uncut harness]

The portal thing is after this

Right?

I have to do the traveller thing

But manual save before entering the portal

[heady wyvern]

I'm not wholly sure about it

But the portal stage is not where you find the Host.

[uncut harness]

Yeah

Got the singularity

So next is the traveller

Now its saying the names of the portal glyphs

[heady wyvern]

@uncut harness Yeah. The game will try to lead you to your Host once you return from that.

[uncut harness]

I understand now

When I return I put in the glyphs of the ship I want

When i get there make a save

[heady wyvern]

@uncut harness Also make sure you're in Eissentam when you start looking.

[uncut harness]

Yeah

Just realised that I need to be in Euclid

I'll finish this later

But I can end the comms?

And go to eissentam

[uncut harness]

Lol

[mental socket]

wrong game

[heady wyvern]

I don't see the issue here, this is clearly No Man's Sky.

[tame grotto]

wrong channel. #other-games or #memes🤡. can check #server-guide for a full channel breakdown. @trail ledge

[prisma oak]

Uhhhh...what the hells?

[jolly thicket]

just accept the transmission - it's FINE ...

don't worry if you can't make sense of it

[uncut harness]

So, the 5th RV point in expedition is a portal

Are we supposed to use it to get somewhere?

Did I miss any clues / coords scattered on other RV points?

[jolly thicket]

Well, there is the void egg you get from one of the quests - that's one reason to keep the portal handy

but really - you'll want to leave the area ASAP after getting to last RP

so you can actually do discoveries and other progress on the game

[severe quest]

Is there a way to find a portal or it's just luck?

[heady wyvern]

@severe quest
Find an alien monolith
Pass its puzzle
Interact with it again
Sacrifice a relic appropriate to the system's dominant race (gek relic, korvax casing, vy'keen dagger)
monoliths can be found with the exocraft signal booster attachment

[severe quest]

I have found one thanks! But I have an other question, how do I use it?

[heady wyvern]

You need to collect the glyphs first. If you haven't done that, don't bother.

[severe quest]

Oh... How do I found glyphs then?

[heady wyvern]

@severe quest We usually suggest that players do so through the Artemis Path (the one that started with "Alone Amidst the Stars"). Before you go off to do that, please leave a base computer near the portal for future use.

[severe quest]

There is this quest in the expedition mode?

[heady wyvern]

...or you could do that. There's a milestone there that gives you all the glyphs at once.

@severe quest but I do wish to stress: don't leave the portal without claiming a base nearby.

[severe quest]

Thank you for your advice, I claimed the area.

[shut tundra]

Im at the atlas again for some reason lol

[velvet oracle]

I've seen on the wiki where it says "Apollo (if they're still alive)" and uh, does Apollo actually die or is this a case of the wiki not being properly updated?

Because through all I've searched I've seen mixed answers for the question of if Apollo dies if you give him the portal glyphs and haven't found a clear answer on that.

[icy citrus]

Do you really want to know? Or would you like to find out?

[velvet oracle]

I don't wanna know too many story details, I just wanna know if this choice could kill Apollo or not because I am sitting here on the screen

I like Apollo D:

[icy citrus]

Your only option at this point is to continue, or quit the main storyline

[velvet oracle]

Wdym

[icy citrus]

I mean you either give the glyphs or stop playing the mission. There isn't another choice to be made...yet

[velvet oracle]

Well uh, I got Apollo to agree with my decision to not give them the glyphs and the next step seems to be to contact Null so...

There is another choice to be made

[icy citrus]

It results in the same thing

That is the outcome no matter the choice for this part

[velvet oracle]

I mean, maybe the same kind of events but if he has more time to research maybe he could survive? Idk, I'll find out if you're right sooner or later :U

[icy citrus]

There will be a chance for you to make a real choice, that does change what happens - it will be obvious

[thin furnace]

Humans: "we're going to create you so you can simulate a universe"
Atlas: "ok"
Atlas:
Altas: "so, stars can be green right?"

but seriously

if the humans that created the atlas are implied to be from our universe in the distant future, then the universe the atlas is programmed to simulate definitely has some different physics than reality

i wonder whether that's by design, or if its just another one of the effects of the atlas dying

[gloomy isle]

I think it's an endless chain of simulations

Like a multiverse

And we're so far down the rabbit hole of simulations of simulations that reality is incredibly divergent from what we could call normal

[prime spade]

It seems like Atlas has tweaked some variables since the inception, starting with the wholesale deletion of one of the races (Presumably the one representing their creators). Certainly when the simulation was first conceived, Atlas wasn't meant to be presenting itself as a God to it's inhabitants, that was a pattern that started to emerge later and is just one of many things they changed.

Of course a lot of the biggest divergences from reality tend to be products of systemic failure (ie. anomalous worlds and boundary failures), travellers 'seeing the matrix' - ie. portals and monoliths that the native inhabitants of the universe cannot even perceive, and interactions with other software agents that don't obey the rules of the simulation, like Sentinels popping in and out, creating matter and energy from nothing.

The nanites are probably a divergence too, they seem like they are meant to represent a fundamental building block of the simulation, but the native inhabitants have learned to manipulate them for their own purposes.

[naive hedge]

||message: so i just got a recipe , and i chose give birth ||

[icy citrus]

Nice

It is tech

Gives +1 to those little boxes under your shield (hp)

It can be placed with another piece of tech eventually, for +3 total

[naive hedge]

oh okay

i installed it

and now what?

@icy citrus

[heady wyvern]

@naive hedge You now have +1 max hp and now you'll be seeing every black hole in existence.

[icy citrus]

Woot

[naive hedge]

lmao

i like black holes 😏

[heady wyvern]

Just look for the star icons on your galaxy map from here on, then.

[naive hedge]

should i fly in it

@icy citrus

[icy citrus]

Yeah why not

[naive hedge]

lmao

alright

[icy citrus]

Lol

[naive hedge]

you sure?

[icy citrus]

Yeah

Positive

[naive hedge]

lol ok

sheesh

and now what XD

did i travel to another galaxy?

[icy citrus]

For lore purposes that is the star you 'birthed'

A system

[naive hedge]

oh

[icy citrus]

For a given value of birth

[naive hedge]

oh look

another blackhole

imma go into it yay

so what should i do now? @icy citrus

[icy citrus]

Whatever you want

The universe is yoursssss

Fly free

[naive hedge]

Wait

is this it???

[icy citrus]

Lol

That was the end of the Atlas path

[naive hedge]

oh

btw i found a turtle

[icy citrus]

Not a spoiler 😛

[naive hedge]

it is

😂

help

@icy citrus

[icy citrus]

Reset lets you choose a new galaxy to go to from 4 types

Refuse has you stay in the current galaxy

If you choose reset, when you arrive your tech not protected by being in tech slots will break, in suit and ship and multitool (which has 0 tech slots)

You won't lose anything

[naive hedge]

what about stuff i have in my inventory

will it stay?

and my freighter?

[icy citrus]

You won't lose anything at all

Can summon freighter

[naive hedge]

oh okay

[icy citrus]

All good

[naive hedge]

so what types

of galaxies are?

[icy citrus]

Lush is green, harsh is red, empty is blue, normal is teal

This indicates the increased chances of the specific biome types in yellow star systems

[naive hedge]

i went to a lush

[icy citrus]

Sweet! Have fun!

[naive hedge]

tysm<3

[pine igloo]

Hello fellow Travelers :D

[idle moat]

What does a harsh galaxy mean?

More hazard planets?

[icy citrus]

Higher chance for extreme biomes in yellow systems

[idle moat]

ooh

well that'll be the one then

[velvet oracle]

Putting this comment here because it's probably spoilery, but my overseer is starting to say strange things...

[heady wyvern]

@velvet oracle This is normal. Continue as normal. This is a sign of progress.

[jolly thicket]

I feel like they need to expand the story to actually explain how and why that pact started.

[sacred flame]

I'm curious. How many people let Artemis die?

[icy citrus]

I did

[final ivy]

Well, yes

And then I cried, and then I cursed video games for a bit, and now it's a funny story so.

[icy citrus]

Oh it wasn't an easy choice, that's why I didn't elaborate more

[spice gorge]

What's the weekend mission? Up yet?

[tame grotto]

!weekendmission

[cloud jolt]

Weekend Nexus missions are back! They start at the same time for everyone.
Start Time: 18:00 GMT Friday (evening)
End Time: 03:00 GMT Monday (morning)

[jolly thicket]

when I first saw that on the quest, it's like, there's no good answer

[solar thistle]

How do i get to the galactic centre the fastest? :)

[solar thistle]

aight

thanks bro :)

[stray pike]

sorry for pong, but i scrolled up before asking so most of my questions were answered but what is the difference between them?

[icy citrus]

Each type has a higher chance to spawn those kind of biomes in yellow systems

So. More lush, extreme, empty or default chance

[stray pike]

im not exactly well versed in what all of that means

[icy citrus]

The lush biome is what is commonly called earth like - trees grass etc

The pretty glowing grass

Extreme would be worlds that have extreme weather, hazardous atmosphere or frenzied sentinels (means they attack on scan)

Could have all 3

[stray pike]

i dont like those lmfao

[icy citrus]

Empty are the airless worlds, where there is low atmosphere and not much flora if any

[stray pike]

too much red and it messes with my color blindness

[icy citrus]

And then normal is what Euclid is

[stray pike]

lush it is

do you lose your bases and stuff like that? i know it messes with anything not in a tech slot and your multitool, dont have a freighter yet so there is no worry either way, but ive got valuable stuff in my base

[icy citrus]

Nope, you don't lose anything

Before you go back to base in a previous galaxy, make sure you at least plop down a base computer

Don't want to lose access to where you go

[stray pike]

yeah that would be bad-

[icy citrus]

And stations can eventually be pushed off the list as more are added

Bases stay on there forever (or until deleted)

[silver ferry]

I let them live for one reason, and that reason is because she might be able to sell me something or give me benefits later on

I don't know tho

Oh

Also because I didn't wanna let Artemis die

I mean I think Artemis hates me now but oh well

[cobalt barn]

The fear of knowledge

[icy citrus]

Here is the kicker: ||Artemis is already dead, and that is their Echo||

So that made my decision a bit easier

[spice gorge]

Wasn't last weekend's QS mission also killing violent plants ?
