kind salmon
AKA they are hidden
mighty rampart
Though the Beachhead expedition decal is still missing
wind panther
I'm probably done for the night. Just played enough to get caught up then messed around a little. Didn't see anything new, probably missed some stuff. I'll look more tomorrow
And probably broke my save messing with it, but oh well, I'll fix that later 🙂
wind panther
Yeah, 13 hour difference
vague oriole
The vykeen hated the gek
It's the portal thing from the glitch worlds
How is that called again
It seems that history is changing
Well idk
bitter hedge
Doesn't it say The Korvax, The Gek Grah?
bitter hedge
Yep Korvax were like "Lets go skinny dipping in the Gek spawn pools
vague oriole
Although "consciousness" hints to it being a korvax thing
wind panther
FYI, the banner and decal images definitely are still missing. I got it to give them to me, but the icons are blank
Still not sure what that third final reward is
mental socket
Hmm
what are the last 2 encrypted missions btw?
One appears to be about boundary failure
Well this season feels kinda exciting. There is real mystery behind it
uncut harness
I think they should have made this one the first expedition, so much better than the first imo.
compact coyote
I like this expedition. Feels like something significant is coming
mental socket
they have gone through the trouble of hiding the rest of the season so it could definitely be something
fancy
compact coyote
And sean was being weird yesterday, histography readings, seems like something is coming. Maybe something that has to do with the 16th update
mental socket
build up to it
tame shell
Sean's tweet reminded me of Mr Saturn from Earthbound
mighty rampart
And he put it in a very weird font..
probably making fun of the encrypted missions looking all funky
awesome
vague oriole
Yea my game shows 6 as well
mighty rampart
vanilla
popped up after leaving the atlas station
got this strange popup
checked the log
got that thing
vague oriole
Prolle a glitch
mighty rampart
yee
vague oriole
Seems like it's the "aquire myth beacon" one
vague oriole
The collective consciousness one has the atlas icon
wind panther
Couldn't see the last two missions'text still
Does anyone have an exact snippet of the new lore? I want to pull it all out into a text file
mighty rampart
wind panther
Perfect, thanks
mighty rampart
vague oriole
It keeps talking about 2 races being combined
And I'm starting to think it's not the korvax altering gek thing
bitter hedge
And you can't really talk about the new gek as a "perfect" fusion
hybrid pendant
need to find a way to find those monolith
because im going around with 100 maps going system by system and finding none of them
bitter hedge
because im going around with 100 maps going system by system and finding none of...
What exactly are you doing? They aren't hard to find
hybrid pendant
@bitter hedge well i go buy cartograph/maps at the space station and use them to find monolith
i buyed 100 none of them gave me a monolith
bitter hedge
Alien Maps right?
hybrid pendant
does random ones count as alien maps?
bitter hedge
You want the ones with the purple icon
hybrid pendant
well u need navigation data for those no?
bitter hedge
Yeah and those are easy to get, just skim a planet and spam scan
hybrid pendant
hmm ok
wind panther
Major spoilers
mighty rampart
Major spoilers
major spoiler ||haha they really kept the dataminers away from the content past the myth beacon! The lore is as usual too vague and honestly this doesn't strike me as anything interesting thus far, the "weapon" could be literally anything from a ship/freighter to a random tech||
||15 major flux readings, 5 minor flux readings||
waxen garnet
multi sword
mighty rampart
gonna clean up the text so its better readable
wind panther
My main worry is all this fitting cleanly into existing lore
mighty rampart
it definitely will
again its not something much different from the stuff we've read before
forest jay
I miss anything important other than the community hitting 6%?
mighty rampart
no
forest jay
Alrighty
mighty rampart
just a text dump of all the flux readings
wind panther
Could the weapon be the Sentinels? It shares some of the same elements
Wouldn't make for a very earth shattering story though
forest jay
I assume it refers to either sentinels or first spawn considering the references of war, the past, a weapon and two minds
wind panther
I don't think the First Spawn. It sounds like something fundamental, and the First Spawn are just a plot twist, so to speak
It has an element of personality, though, talking about a beacon for all those that would follow
silver ferry
i think its just a sword
wind panther
a sword flowing over cities?
forest jay
Ah that must be part of what I missed while asleep. The two minds made me think of the gek/korvax combination that happened after the sacrifice.
wind panther
Yeah, that seems possible, but I think it's a misdirection
silver ferry
or the final reward could be something BIGGER than that
maybe lore
like lots of it
wind panther
I seriously doubt there is a sword as a reward
forest jay
Idk how they'd fit a sword into the games mechanics
silver ferry
or just another type of weapon
forest jay
If it was it definitely wouldn't be used as a weapon
silver ferry
but i think ittl be something bigger
forest jay
I'm curious about what we're summoning
silver ferry
like a new type of item
wind panther
Maybe a Dyson-type weapon? The way it talks about the heart being the heart of the galaxy itself?
16th Update is probably August for anniversary
silver ferry
16th update is this summer i think
forest jay
At first I kinda hoped it'd be something like a raid boss but I doubt that'd fit in this game very well. Even if we have a bunch of alien monstrosities
I think they mean Dyson sphere
wind panther
A Dyson-level device is something that harvests the energy of an entire system or galaxy
forest jay
It's like a battery around a sun
wind panther
^
silver ferry
so a small weapon with a heart of the sun in it
royal osprey
I'm ready for the crossover between NMS and Dyson Sphere Program
silver ferry
same
forest jay
Actually that makes sense
vague prawn
anyone have any update on when the new expedition releases?
deep parrot
Was there an update to the Expedition?
vague oriole
Nope
royal osprey
anyone have any update on when the new expedition releases?
It's ongoing currently
deep parrot
Research still at 0%?
vague prawn
gotcha website is a bit misleading it said 5/7
silver ferry
6%
vague prawn
5/17 ^
deep parrot
Ouch...
wind panther
It started on the 17th, UK time
forest jay
Heart of the sun being referenced in the game already. It'd be pretty cool if it's been leading to something Dyson sphere related.
wind panther
I think
silver ferry
i dunno
silver ferry
theyre gonna buff up the progression
wind panther
One really weird thing is that the quest chain gives liquid sun and whatever the other thing is for living ship quests
silver ferry
guarantee
forest jay
Most of that percentage picked up speed in the past 9 hours
vague oriole
One really weird thing is that the quest chain gives liquid sun and whatever the...
Yea, i actually discarded mine, hope it's not useful
vague oriole
Yea
mental socket
Could the weapon be the Sentinels? It shares some of the same elements
or the abyss
hmm
wind panther
Hexite was the third thing, qualia or something
vague oriole
If it is I'll need to have someone save edit tgem for me
wind panther
Abyss would play into existing lore and give some room to tell stories
forest jay
What exactly is the abyss?
mental socket
a similar entity to atlas
forest jay
Yeah now I remember
wind panther
agreed
wind panther
The Abyss stuff is pretty vague
mental socket
I really hope this lore is written by Greg. HG isn't very good at it
forest jay
Its that thing referenced last expedition in the abyssal treasure milestone
rancid ether
The Void Mother / Atlantid
mental socket
The Abyss stuff is pretty vague
Didn't HG write the abyss lore in The Abyss update?
instead of Greg
wind panther
Not sure
mental socket
don't recall him mentioning it on the site
forest jay
Yeah but I skipped alot of time on NMS
mighty rampart
Readable text dump of all the historiographical flux readings:
forest jay
So for me I only remember it from last expedition
rancid ether
Abandoned buildings in 1.13 even, so i think it was maybe referenced that early even
forest jay
I quit playing for like half a year and forgot most of what I knew lol
icy citrus
😭
forest jay
Only really got back into it about a month ago
wind panther
All I can think of is that the Abyss is red, watery, and some sort of corruption
forest jay
Wait a minute
icy citrus
I have text dumps for everything from 1.3, abyss is there for sure
subtle gorge
Readable text dump of all the historiographical flux readings:
ty
forest jay
That kinda fits the form atlas and the summoning device take
wind panther
Pretty sure the Dreams quest line talked about red
forest jay
Big watery sphere that fluctuates
icy citrus
Maybe since launch, but I don't have any of the texts from before 1.3 so don't know
forest jay
Wonder if the abyss is what's breaking Atlas
wind panther
Agreed
rancid ether
Atlas v Atlantid
wind panther
My theory is that in the real world, water levels are rising and slowly invading the Atlas servers
icy citrus
Altantids are followers of the Abyss imo
wind panther
exactly!
rancid ether
I mean...it definitely fits so many other things in the game haha
icy citrus
Lol
mighty rampart
from what I gather, its a sentient weapon made by the Gek and Korvax for a MAD tactic (hence the "weapon for peace") but its volatility led it to be imprisoned, but it was futile and it went back to its "master" who was like guess I might as well use it for the revolution
the way it talks about size really feels like a freighter
forest jay
I've always assumed that all these bio horrors have been the atlas's corruption given form in the simulation as it dies. From abyssal horrors to living ships and glitch planets.
mighty rampart
inb4 its just a golden freighter with randomass lore
wind panther
But it talks about it always being there, like it exists in every timeline
rancid ether
...the Anomaly?
mighty rampart
well yeah it exists in every timeline just like so many other things do
I guess we'll be in the timeline where this weapon can be brought back but not at its full potential
outer cobalt
That type of freighter could just mean the sentinels?
wind panther
We have to include the idea that the past has been changed, I guess to bring back the weapon?
vague oriole
Iirc lost had some meaning in the lore
mighty rampart
why do we have to? there's no direct mention of the past being changed
it was a misleading post
mental socket
what about the thing about a citadel and worlds of dead gods deep underfoot
mighty rampart
exaggeration
moses divided the waters
but its implying the weapon being real huge
wind panther
I thought there was a mention of the past chaniging. I'lll go double check
vague oriole
Also we're at 8%
mighty rampart
no its about noticing new patterns
forest jay
Sweet
mental socket
Well why not, those could even be implemented nicely. Didn't they have some stuff about planetary dungeons in the files when desolation dropped
forest jay
Glad it's picking up speed still
subtle gorge
i remember someone mentioned that it could be 3 seperate stories
rancid ether
what about the thing about a citadel and worlds of dead gods deep underfoot
Idk...i havent really followed along with the updates here but this sounds like Korvax Prime to me
mighty rampart
other lore stuff has also been noticing new patterns emerging from old patterns
subtle gorge
give us all the fan service
mental socket
so is there new lore even in the regular stuff outside of the missions?
forest jay
That'd be interesting if there was
rancid ether
Theres new lore in a bunch of places you probably wouldnt think to look (but not new to this specific expedition)
mighty rampart
well considering you can get the dosimeter in cross saves after finishing the expedition, yes
vague oriole
Also aparently historiography is a real science
mighty rampart
ye

epic embed fail

It's the same lady who said "no man's sky: the expedition update"

The reward for the 5-4 on expeditions is as follows: <TECHNOLOGY>600 Nanites<>; <STELLAR>Viscous Fluids<> x 256" I was looking through some stuff and I found both what the quest for 5-4, and 5-5 are, and their rewards.
wind panther
The big question is the final reward on phase 5
uncut harness
The reward for the 5-4 on expeditions is as follows: <TECHNOLOGY>600 Nanites<>; ...
<TECHNOLOGY>Beachhead Expedition Decal plans<>; <COMMODITY>Beachhead Expedition Banner<> customisation; <SPECIAL>Zx?Fl Ovz??Eq<>", whatever this this is it
no way to decode it but
mental socket
The big question is the final reward on phase 5
have you been able to see what it is?
uncut harness
there is something special
mental socket
or what the placeholder stuff for it is
uncut harness
the only other special item is the golden vector
wind panther
No, it was still scrambled for me
mighty rampart
guess they'll add it after we hit the community goal
uncut harness
guess they'll add it after we hit the community goal
Yeah that was my thought
uncut harness
but the 4th and 5th quest is out yet
uncut harness
or might be placeholder
thats what I thought
but there is also a "golden vector" item in the games code
vague oriole
We're stuck at 3rd
uncut harness
ik
wind panther
There's nothing in the files yet for a special ship, but it could come out later, or I could have missed it
vague oriole
The name isn't there, so ofc the thing itself isn't there
forest jay
Part of me wishes I could turn the golden vector into a trophy to put in base on my main save instead of using up a vehicle slot on it.
uncut harness
Part of me wishes I could turn the golden vector into a trophy to put in base on...
same
line 275515 in the games code if u wanna check out the rewards
forest jay
I like it cuz it's representative of having finished the whole expedition instead of just part
wind panther
Is there any demand for a mod that changes the golden vector into different colors? I made it, but don't know if anyone would really care
forest jay
But like..... I like uniform ship fleets
hybrid pendant
oh dlss
subtle gorge
Is there any demand for a mod that changes the golden vector into different colo...
if you could restore the base color scheme of the original that'd be awesome
forest jay
Xbox and also curious now
mental socket
probably they'll add the rewards along with the DLSS patch
uncut harness
Is there any demand for a mod that changes the golden vector into different colo...
Meh, cool to have, dont know if Id use it a lot
there is a special final reward
forest jay
So I'm stupid and have to ask. What's the dlss y'all keep referencing?
It something else I missed while sleeping?
mighty rampart
Is there any demand for a mod that changes the golden vector into different colo...
people would probably be interested in the reverse - gold version of whatever ship they have
forest jay
Ah
mental socket
coming during the season most likely along with the final rewards
perfect way to sneak it in
"Instantaneously, performance will be boosted by up to 70% at 4K, substantially improving the smoothness and responsiveness of gameplay, giving GeForce RTX gamers a better overall experience."

That explains the Nvidia conversation

#nms-photomode-gallery message
A few of the examples in that area

finally NMS will run nicely
forest jay
Welp I'm gonna attempt to fall back asleep and get a few more hours of rest. Good luck to all y'all still working on the community research.
wind panther
Nvidia only I thinik
uncut harness
Ok, so there is a special reward other than the decals and stuff: <SPECIAL>Zx?Fl Ovz??Eq<>", <--- is the final reward, its a special item and the only special item I know of is the "Golden Alpha Vector Ship" item.

@mental socket Characters NMS

While I'm not saying they are related, they could be.
mental socket
ah that, nothing spoilery really
uncut harness
@wind panther where is the medadata folder?
opaque compass
Nvidia only yes, AMD are working on their alternative currently. 2xxx RTX cards generation are the bare minimum to have it.
outer cobalt
I am mostly curious about the actual font used @mental socket If you see or hear anything ...
wind panther
The normal NMS font or something else?
wind panther
<@!630209160860008468> where is the medadata folder?
I believe it's one of the root folders
outer cobalt
The alien font used for the Egg Sequencer and now the Expedition season titles
wind panther
Ahhh, gotcha. No idea on that, probably custom
outer cobalt
Oh yes, it is custom. Already looked in the known locations.
Als checked if this was just another of Allison James' fonts like Zephyr Jubilee
uncut harness
I believe it's one of the root folders
So not possible to edit the language file to change a title name easily?
rancid ether
🤔 me thinks ||prying eyes are watching this channel closely||
uncut harness
Oh yes, it is custom. Already looked in the known locations.
Yeah, its custom. The encrypted part isnt even encryption though. I'm pretty sure. Its just characters and letters with no meaning really. The "decoding" part is just them chnging their value
mental socket
some minor visual tweaks appear to be coming with DLSS update as well
rancid ether
Yeah, sean just tweeted the vid for that
mental socket
sentinels cast a light from them in real time now
outer cobalt
Yeah, its custom. The encrypted part isnt even encryption though. I'm pretty sur...
I do believe it is an actual font. No encryption required when you make glyphs like that
uncut harness
True
mental socket
sentinels cast a light from them in real time now
wasn't there in Expeditions update
hybrid pendant
i wonder how u activate that dlss shit
opaque compass
If it's like any other games with the option, just go in your graphic settings and voila.
At least, it was like that with Cyberpunk 2077.
mental socket
that's what it says on the blog post as well
To reclaim performance, download the upcoming No Man’s Sky update and enable NVIDIA DLSS in the Graphics Settings menu.
opaque compass
But be aware that if you don't own an RTX card, you won't be able to use it.
uncut harness
3080s will be able to handle DLSS right
mental socket
3080s will be able to handle DLSS right
uncut harness
oh thats 4k
mental socket
performance will be boosted by up to 70%
uncut harness
didnt realize its 4k but
mental socket
says the article
I wonder about playing in full HD
will it have any performance improvements too
opaque compass
cries in 4k monitor + GTX1080ti
mental socket
fullHD monitor with rtx2080 super
outer cobalt
Will have to check and give it a try
mighty rampart
because gamers only play in 4K HDR
mental socket
well at least vr performance gets better
uncut harness
because gamers only play in 4K HDR
well, Ill be playing in 4k HDR lmfao if im getting 120fps
outer cobalt
because gamers only play in 4K HDR
Ah dang it, no HDR on my monitor

is 3090 better for handling 4k? cause I have a rig with duel 3090s lol (different than my main )

Yup
opaque compass
It is lmao
uncut harness
Nah 3090 is better for video editing and stuff, not gaming really
opaque compass
It's like asking if it's better to use a rocket launcher vs. an auto rifle
uncut harness
I use 3080s for gaming, but 3090s for editing and stuff lol and rendering.
mighty rampart
would it still make sense to buy an older GPU like say 1660
opaque compass
That's not what says the benchmarks tho
Isn't Quadro architechture better for that if it's still a thing ?
uncut harness
Yeah but aren’t the best quadros 5k or something
opaque compass
It is
mighty rampart
lol yeah I'm playing on an integrated gpu
opaque compass
It's not implemented
hybrid pendant
yeah soo for most people its not gonna change shit
uncut harness
Yeah
But 3080s are 3090s are hot
Rtx is more advanced and only available for 30 series and 20 series
opaque compass
They have implemented AI or sort of since 20 gen
hybrid pendant
i dont really see the point in adding dlss when there like almost no one who has rtx and still use gtx
mighty rampart
it is for the people who have those
no downsides to implementing current tech
especially if it improves your performance
hybrid pendant
@mighty rampart not gonna improve most of us
mighty rampart
are you playing in 4k?
hybrid pendant
nope
mighty rampart
then its not for you already
its for the people who have the more recent nvidia gpus and are playing on 4k or VR with it
opaque compass
I mean they show off 4K test because it's what's matter for gamers (lul) but it does work in lower resolution. For example with my old monitor i got +10 fps in Cyberpunk with DLSS on. And I was just on a 1920x1080.
I won't say no for more frames
Especially if it's just a button to push lul
hybrid pendant
soo dlss is not just for 4K
opaque compass
It's not, it's just a marketing argument.
mental socket
Yeh. Another 1080 monitor here
also nms already has the resolution scaling option which makes the image sharper and cleaner when cranked up
all the textures and stuff
mighty rampart
crank up? I had to crank it down 😔
mental socket
if u up that resolution scale to 200% cloud look less foggy
Yup, clouds are just set to a very low resolution. You can also increase the cloud resolution to look very realistic by changing the value in files
hybrid pendant
@mental socket oh?
mental socket
Yup. There are already mods that modify that value too I think
Resolution scale setting in game basically increases the resolution values for all the things rendered in-game
real sapphire
so now i have this dosimeter thingamajig, what to do with it
mental socket
go to ruins and stuff and interact with them
then select "take readings for nada"
or something like that it was
indigo night
@real sapphire or wait until the community is at 100 % 🙂
real sapphire

deep parrot
I think the biggest spikes to community progress will be today and tomorrow, but only 6% for first 24 hours doesn't bode well. We're probably gonna get a pity completion on the Anomalous Research. I suppose the question is when that pity completion will happen.
I'm at the stage in my expedition where I need to use the Historiograph 3 times, and that'll be done tonight.
subtle gorge
I think the biggest spikes to community progress will be today and tomorrow, but...
It's actually 13% in 6-7 hours
From what we can understand there were internal issues
Which is why it didn't budge at all for almost the entirety of yesterday and why it's moving exponentially faster now
!tier
icy citrus
I think it's timed anyways 
subtle gorge
Define timed
icy citrus
What we are doing doesn't advance the tier
Just my opinion, I don't know any facts about it
mental socket
It might all just be an illusion
icy citrus
Be weird to rely just on player base for a timed event that obviously will be used in this Expedition
mental socket
obviously they do help the tier at very last moments like they always have. Last tiers suddenly sped up over night and went from 70 to 100
uncut harness
Atlas must have thought you needed it.
tepid iris
i dont really see the point in adding dlss when there like almost no one who has...
I have a RTX 3090 😛
so
Bring it on!
rancid ether
I think the biggest spikes to community progress will be today and tomorrow, but...
I havent even gotten to the point of adding to the progress and I imagine other players are also not there yet. Once more players get there, the progress is going to rocket
grim cloud
I have a RTX 3090 😛
I have two rtx 3090s. one for each monitor 😛
tepid iris
for real? 😛
in RTX 30xx 3090 is the only now for SLI IIRC
but oof that power usage 😄
rancid ether
I havent heard SLI in years. I didnt know that was even still a thing
grim cloud
for real? 😛
mhm, its overkill af but you know
tepid iris
Well to be fair
maxed out on everything ultra, even on 1080p you won't get guaranteed 60 fps in all new games
Some 4K games on a 3090 even drop to 20-40 fps without DLSS
grim cloud
Question, if we've gained 5% in around 45 minutes. that means it should be finished in 12-ish hours prolly right.
grim cloud
maxed out on everything ultra, even on 1080p you won't get guaranteed 60 fps in ...
yeah
timber kraken
If someone needs cords to an atlas station encase that mission was bugged, could I post here?
tepid iris
When there a lot of players present in multiplayer, No Man's Sky also goes to 40 ish fps for me 😛
not so far in this expedition
but it happened on the hub worlds in expedition 1 for me
grim cloud
Question, if we've gained 5% in around 45 minutes. that means it should be finis...
?
yeah true
like 300 or something
idk
like 800 actually
2380 total words
outer cobalt
Glad we do not have to learn all words
grim cloud
Glad we do not have to learn all words
I did just for fun lmfao
outer cobalt
No, I mean the game prematurely ends learning and then just reveals all of that language, while there are actually still more words
grim cloud
yep
outer cobalt
There are like 3165 words total for all languages, but you actually learn less
Atlas = 261
Korvax = 965
Gek = 965
Vy'keen = 974
Not that many. Has to do with the sentences they created I assume
mental socket
Atlas = 261
Korvax = 965
Gek = 965
Vy'keen = 974
so that's the maximum you can currently learn?
outer cobalt
so that's the maximum you can currently learn?
No, because it uses a fixed number lower than the actual amount of words available. Once you reach like 700 for example, it just says you learned the language and starts to show all translated.
I am not sure what the actual amount required is atm. For Atlas of course that is even lower, if not different altogether
mental socket
well saves room for future dialog
outer cobalt
Oh yes, and they have actually added to the respective dictionaries. Atlas did not even have a dictionary in the past, just fully translated sentences
There are even some words/sentences for the travellers if I recall correctly. Not a dictionary (yet)
outer cobalt
Looking at some source for the Phase 5 missions, this reminds me of unravelling the Void Egg
vague oriole
Yea this is basically the same thing in expedition form
outer cobalt
I think Ima keep it shut this time around 😉
vague oriole
They'll have us use the beacon and let us figure the use out is my guess
outer cobalt
Oh the use is actually reasonably obvious ;-)
vague oriole
It summons things
outer cobalt
things?
vague oriole
It's a summoning device
It summons
Something
right?
Also how do you know it
I thought even the rewards in the code were placeholder "encrypted" text
tepid iris
sooo
now that we're getting Nvidia GameWorks for DLSS
maybe at one point we'll get ray tracing too? 😛
deep parrot
What's the total at now? It's good to hear it's moving.
subtle gorge
21%
deep parrot
Oh, that's very nice to hear.
vague oriole
Yea I'll prolly wake up to it at 100
vague oriole
I'm not gonna sleep now
Well yea
Maybe not 100
I wanna see what happens after it's over
Can we still use the dosimeter
mighty rampart
yes
deep parrot
I think we must, since the Dosimeter doesn't become cross save till the whole thing's over.
vague oriole
And more importantly, can we keep it
vague oriole
I've read a part of it
mighty rampart
it'll likely have more function
vague oriole
Then I'm keeping my exp 2 save
deep parrot
The Dosimeter is cross save.
deep parrot
...
vague oriole
this pace the research sound be done in 38 hours
low gull
it'll probably accelerate as more people get the ability to help
deep parrot
I just got to the point where I could help before bed last night, so I'll be participating when I get home today.
deep parrot
I had to spend several hours hunting for a crashed freighter.
vague oriole
It seems it's slowing down as asia and europe are going to sleep and america is still kinda early for when most ppl do their gaming
We got about 2 percent every half hour before and now we get 1
vague oriole
You get 15 qs per scan
deep parrot
Oh, quicksilver? Interesting.
vague oriole
Yea not much
vague oriole
It's qs cos the story reason is you're helping with nada's research
Well currently you can only get it on an expedition save
deep parrot
Yeah, but will be cross save.
vague oriole
Will
deep parrot
Which means it will be useful.
vague oriole
Yea
deep parrot
I don't really care about qs on Expedition.
I only do my quicksilver missions on my Normal save now, since I discovered the stupid missions are cross save, but the currency and things you can buy with it are not.
Was really hoping the Armoured cosmetics from Beachhead were cross save rewards.
vague oriole
The fact its cross save makes me think that there might be more research after the expedition is done
Like maybe they have a special other community research
That gives us usable items
At least temporarily
deep parrot
Or the quicksilver gains is the point of it being cross save.
I reckon we aren't getting a cross save Freighter, but could be wrong.
Currently, I have to say I'm less of a fan of this Expedition than last Expedition due to effectively no cross save rewards.
But, I understand that can change.
vague oriole
Yea
mighty rampart
there's also an encrypted reward
deep parrot
The decal, title, and banner should just be every expedition.
raw pecan
it's also only 2 weeks in duration-- this really feels like an "interlude" expedition more than a full one
mighty rampart
I'm saying that since these are missing, the other rewards are also likely missing
mighty rampart
and there must be a reason why the dosimeter is the reward for completing the expedition
vague oriole
Historiography is a real thing btw
deep parrot
I understand if they don't want to give a starship, multitool, or freighter for every expedition.
raw pecan
I mean I wouldn't hold my breath on there not being a freighter-based reward for this just yet, unless someone's datamined something I'm not aware of
between the existing twitch rewards and the existing expedition rewards, anyone who really wants to launch themselves in a new save game is more than able to
deep parrot
Maybe an exclusive golden paint you can apply to existing Freighters?
raw pecan
there's not really any reason to hold anything back on a per-expedition basis, if people want to new game + they will
and if they don't, they won't
¯_(ツ)_/¯
mighty rampart
datamining revealed that the content is straight up missing
deep parrot
I've been very much appreciating my Golden Vector for my Normal, Survival, and Permadeath saves.
raw pecan
saves are local so if people really wanted to they could just save edit S-class whatevers in, I'm glad NMS has just kind of embraced the fact that It Can Be A Thing and don't seem to be punishing non-edit players for it
mighty rampart
we dont know what the myth beacon does
deep parrot
On Survival and Permadeath, I've basically been turning the Golden Vector into a fancy Hauler. XD
mighty rampart
we dont know why they'd give you the dosimeter for cross saves
vague oriole
Divilin said she found smth tho
deep parrot
we dont know why they'd give you the dosimeter for cross saves
Isn't the quicksilver reward enough?
deep parrot
Yes, per scan with no limit, right?
raw pecan
we dont know why they'd give you the dosimeter for cross saves
My suspicion is that there'll be lore-related quest text and they want to give players who aren't currently playing the ability to see that text as well, if they want
kind salmon
datamining revealed that the content is straight up missing
I'm kinda happy about that
deep parrot
I just hope it's intentionally missing, and not mistakenly missing.
vague oriole
I found smth that could greatly optimise searching
timid mist
it's intentional, they know people datamine
vague oriole
You know how it mentions "major" and "minor" historical fluxes right
mighty rampart
its more respectful like that 👍🏿
vague oriole
The major ones occur on monoliths
mighty rampart
I've had minor ones on monoliths
vague oriole
That hints at more progress being made when you scan a monolith
deep parrot
How many unique texts are there?
timid mist
gumsk already posted the text dump so not much searching is needed correct?
mighty rampart
||15 major, 5 minor||
vague oriole
I've had minor ones on monoliths
Oh then my theory is invalid
vague oriole
||patterns repeat, patterns repeat, new patterns emerge||
This hints that ||the patterns are actually changing||
||it mentions the weapon and the metal dragon, it also mentions korvax prime, what if the weapon is the gek's power and bloodthirstiness and the dragon is korvax prime||
||"the weapon dies, along with it's master", if my theory is correct, it died when the korvax altered the gek's genetics, which makes sense cos if the weapon is the power the first spawn hold then it's master are the first spawn themselves||

Do you need to turn in milestone data to Nada for the bar to increase?
Or is just taking the readings enough?
deep parrot
Only the readings apply.
Nada just offers alternate Ares services on Expedition, for some reason.
Well, just the Milestones for Nanites, anyways.
vague oriole
Did gunter just call me out lol
rough depot
Yes
vague oriole
How did we get from 26 to 30 in 10 mins
If it isn't just updating wierdly and it's actually the current pace we're gonna get it in 3 hours
icy citrus
I mentioned before, I don't think it is actually in our control - I believe they have a specific time in mind
So I don't think we can get behind, or ahead
vague oriole
Of say it is to a certain degree
They might end it quickly if we're too slow or block progress if we're too fast
Maybe we were too fast there
deep parrot
Hmm...
vague oriole
What the hell it went down
Was that a glitch
Nah nvm gunter is just drunk
Galactic atlas shows 30

Is that what the anomalous research wait is being called?
tame shell
thats what i call it at least 
deep parrot
The delta in your name makes me think of .hack//.
deep parrot
Was 0 when I got off last night.
tepid iris
how do I solve the inventory full without a full inventory?
deep parrot
Well, the best way is to make sure you're ready to accept all rewards before claiming. However-
The unfortunate fix I was shown is to remove any items or blueprints that were involved in the total reward, and claim it again.
Via Save Editor.
deep parrot
I don't know what y'all got from the Twitch campaign.
tepid iris
does the save editor work with the current version?
low gull
does the save editor work with the current version?
it works fine, but expedition 2 rewards/items haven't been added to the list
tepid iris
F yeah you're correct
so I'll need to remove the helmet, then reclaim it through the phase reward 😛
nice
thanks 😛
deep parrot
Np
That item predates Expedition 2, so that fix is within Save Editor's current abilities, it sounds like.
low gull
it is
i'm not entirely sure but i think the helmet is in the "known products" section
tame grotto
F yeah you're correct
ooh that was definitely a reward from Twitch Drops.
tepid iris
but yeah
back in the day on my main save when I did the storyline
I had to reset my latest quest like 5 times
because I'd do a mission, I completed it, and then it bugged out not starting the next one 😛
so I have done some of the missions 3-5 times in a row
until it actually unlocked the next one 😂
tame grotto
i never really encounter bugs like that. but i guess i just know i gotta save often, and i tend to avoid playing in groups and disable multiplayer. i only team up for trades or to explore.
tepid iris
that was around NEXT time outside groups
but multi was technically on
but yeah saving is key 😛
tame shell
The delta in your name makes me think of .hack//.
Oh man .hack// is amazing
tepid iris
where does the atlas appear? || final rendezvous system ? ||
sand karma
where does the atlas appear? || final rendezvous system ? ||
You have to seek it out. Though you can just ask Polo for coordinates as well.
tepid iris
since it's on phase 4
so would be weird if it was on phase 5?
ah
no icon
so have to visually see it?
royal osprey
I just asked for coordinates from Polo myself, gives you a quest that leads you to the nearest one
deep parrot
Oh man .hack// is amazing
I'm feeling influenced to try building a Mac Anu recreation now.
tame shell
oh heck yeah Mac Anu or ∆ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground in NMS would be amazing
tepid iris
Alright, got the Dosimeter
gonna ask Polo tomorrow for coordinates
I thought I saw someone say there was one in one of the hub systems
but missed it then 🤔
nocturne zephyr
you have to believe
dreamy oracle
so I just finished writing up the Beachhead Atlas Atlas. I spent basically all of yesterday charting it out and naming the planets, and blindly grinding up to get to all of them. It does contain spoilers, as well as coordinates (via links to this discord), planet names, planet types, and what is on every planet.
dreamy oracle
😦 cant find a fucking single monolith
go to a station and trade in your nav data for nav beacons.
Same side as the teleporter, all the way to the right (two stations to the right from mission station, right next to teleporter)
if you don't have nav data, go to a minor settlement and buy a bunch there
prime spade
😦 cant find a fucking single monolith
I found that the same moon Rendevous 5 is on, has a bunch of comm beacons people have placed marking out monoliths, I was able to find some that way extremely fast.
hybrid pendant
i dont have nav data @dreamy oracle
dreamy oracle
i dont have nav data <@!208184466693160961>
I think that you can get random maps from the map guy by spending 15 nanites

ok soo i guess the system u were in had a 32 player instance
timber herald
Rendezvous 1 system
hybrid pendant
and linked u with another instance with less people or no people in it

Most likely. I'm just glad so many people are actively playing it

An hour ago when i last checked, it was 39%. Definitly not gonna be 100% yet :p

What is this mission tag thing?
don't think we're supposed to see it yet
go in there and see
wonder why it's even giving you mission that has missing text
deep parrot
The system is discovered by Hello Games.
I went looking around, but didn't notice anything particularly special.
It's within eyeshot when warping from the starter system.
mental socket
It's within eyeshot when warping from the starter system.
hmm, does it happen to be one of the rendezvous points?

Nope.

Rendezvous 3: Haykan-Hij
Rendezvous 4: Diykkist XIV
Rendezvous 5: Gauraz-Caeru
UI_EXPED_S2_MYSTERY3_LABEL: Dopperi VII
mental socket
hmm... some sort of live event that unlocks after we reach 100% with the thing
could be one possibility
or the mystery missions have defined locations that will have... something when the time is right
deep parrot
Several other players are already at this location too.
mental socket
the heck is happening
can you ask them why they're there?
also what is the nearest rendezvous to it?
deep parrot
Think I'd have to hunt them down or something. Not sure is chat if System-wide or not.
Think I'll stick around this system and do some more Ancient Artifact Site scans.
icy citrus
Great there will be a hundred bases there when we have to go😭
deep parrot
About 4 other bases showing up right now.
deep parrot
One of them, based on the name, must be situated on one of those Archive Trade Outpost things.
icy citrus
This is fairly common when HG have specific planets in mind
Or systems I should say
The living ship planet was discovered before we went also
I'm more curious about the name
Mystery 3
deep parrot
Found a Holo Terminus.
Only Lush Planet here sadly has Lethal Humidity Outbreaks and Frequent Sentinels.
deep parrot
If there are, I haven't found them yet.
small herald
what's the nearest rendezvous from the mystery mission system?
small herald
ahh thanks
deep parrot
Hmm... So the Myth Beacon costs 80 Quicksilver, and we're 46% through the progress to unlock it.
Reckon I'll be able to get it here... Thursday after work.
Just got a "Lobby is full" sign...
mental socket
in the mystery system?
wind panther
Maybe use the beacon at the portal for the mystery 3 planet?
deep parrot
Yeah, I'll remove the one I placed. Put it at a spot I though might make a nice base in the future.
But I don't want to make a base on an Expedition save.
wind panther
Hmm I'll maybe try it. Let me go back to the computer
deep parrot
I don't know where the Portal is.
Azure built a base on one of those Boundary Failure things.
wind panther
I'll look for that and try the beacon there, too
I guess we don't know which planet is meant to be the special one do we?
deep parrot
The planet is Nessie Q8.
wind panther
Though Lodburt Alpha seems really familiar
kind salmon
Do we have confirmation about what the next missions are?
deep parrot
Nupe.
wind panther
I tried getting them to unscramble, but even when marked complete, they stay scrambled
viral geyser
What’s the percent now?
wind panther
I'm impressed with HG being forward thinking enough to lock us out of all the text and events
silver ferry
Rip
kind salmon
F
mental socket
event is directly tied to boundary failures somehow
silver ferry
Now I'm interested
mental socket
I'm speculating on their activation and dimensional gates finally opening for us
didn't the boundary failure lore have a few mentions of time travel too
deep parrot
That's the guess right now. This system... "Mystery 3" I suppose, has a Weird Planet with Boundary Failure structures on it. Gumsk had a trigger near one.
mental socket
Also the event planet is named Nessie xD
mmm, water
abyss >.>
Playful reference to loch ness monster or just rng name
deep parrot
Each time we pop the Dosimeter on an Ancient Site, it always says a "Barrier Failure" is detected.
mental socket
with atlas logo pop-up
vestal ledge
either this leads into a big event
or it's just lore
i'm interested to see what HG is trying here.
deep parrot
Events that are handled this way are always interesting to me.
Several other players found this system before I did. I may just be the only one who's either on here or interested in asking about things.
mental socket
but it has only recently appeared
it wasn't showing up at the start of the expedition
but now suddenly it's right below the starting system
deep parrot
Hard to say. I never looked around yesterday. I found it today cause I looked around
mental socket
I did a brief look around the starting system at the beginning, not really looking for anything and didn't see it
well soon we will all see what it is
@wind panther any new revelations?
rancid ether
Found on the Rv 5 planet.
Activating and broadcasting the signal should lead to the closest Atlas Station.
deep parrot
Oh nice. An Iteration Reset Beacon.
rancid ether
It immediately located the nearest station for me, even though polo gave me coords earlier
deep parrot
I assume it went to the one in the Atlas Calls System?
wind panther
That's interesting. Atlas didn't say anything?
viral geyser
What’s the percent
raw pecan
It immediately located the nearest station for me, even though polo gave me coor...
iiinteresting, I wonder if that's new
I usually ignore those when I trip across them
vague oriole
We're at 55?
Wow
We can do it today prolly
Also
How do atlas stations work
We know they don't have unique text
But do they dosimeter™
I ran out of nav data yesterday
I might have to get an atlaspass and a bunch of red barrels on my freighter
wind panther
I think we're going to have to wait for another update from HG before continuing, unfortunately. Some of the content isn't in the game yet, like the decal and banner icons
vague oriole
still at 55%
ok then
gleam was right
its stuck
they prolly are making the stuff as we speak
wind panther
Or it's just the time of day. It's getting near the end of a weeknight in the US, middle of the night in Europe, and not as many NMS players in Asia
wind panther
Midnight in the US, I was meaning the "time before people wake up" for middle of the night
vague oriole
ok then
wind panther
But fair that eastern europe is awake, though probably not many people playing NMS right now 🙂
wind panther
They might just have a stereotypical Nada "I need time to process this information" delay tactic
vague oriole
true
but
unless they've done it already
they'll have just a bit more than a week
and we will have even less to finsih the expedition after that
wind panther
yeah, they are definitely in a time crunch if it's not all done already
vague oriole
id say its done but they are holding it for when we finish/when they want to drop it with the illusion we finished
oh nmv
it's not stuck
its at 56
its just slowing down
wind panther
Yeah, they might just be hiding it from dataminers and the like
vague oriole
either that's hg intervention or we're actually slowing down

Activating and broadcasting the signal should lead to ...
Thank you so much for this it worked beautifully

in the mystery system?
wait what
there's a mystery system?
also isn't EXPED_S2_MYSTERY3 the aquire myth beacon one
oh wait no
thats phase 5 milestone 3
not the 3rd mystery one
btw here's a recap of the lore
there's a big weapon that once killed a metal dragon, it's heart is the heart of the universe itself and it prolly has something to do with korvax prime, also the weapon died with its master
wait
'its heart was the heart of the galaxy itself"
it looks like the atlas
the myth beacon
THAT IS THE WEAPON
also looking at it scaled up
it looks like a building
freighter weapon?

its the new game mode, Expeditions
start a new game and pick that mode

Man I really don't want to start a new game lmao
mighty rampart
well its different
rather than spending a long time to gear up
you get them for just doing simple tasks so you catch up quick
pure frigate
Hmmm ok

with a blue drive so you can jump to all colour systems immediately

They are saving up the 16

Atlas vs Abyss for U16?

Has anyone got a rundown of the new lore?
a secret weapon designed by Korvax Prime probably... used to stop an ancient menace....
the kings of the abyss....
but the nature of this weapon was so powerful it was kept in a prison...
chained in a tower....
it also mentions some things regarding the stories of the Korvax, Geks and Vy'keens having some similarities...
and also a shared language...
regarding the origin of the universe...
thats what called Nada's atention...
like if theres something going on...
that some population of the alien races is begining to be aware that theres more to the universe they live in than meets the eye
wind panther
What if it means Atlas is the weapon, chained in a tower...case

aah might be or not...
cuz theres also the mention of a spear...
