as i said
"its heart was the heart of the galaxy itself"
I thought major fluxes made the community progress go faster x'D
yeah i think this has to do with the Atlas
btw this should be pinned
myth beacon for reference
see how the "core" of the beacon looks like the atlas interface
- "At a time of desperate need - kzzzkt - the great weapon pierced the heart of the metal dragon - kttzkt - slew the vanguard of the ancient kings..."
uuuh anyone thought about the Ocean King Grave? 👀
eeh well Burial of the Ocean King
that encounter you get sometimes...
also im pissed at how it ends at 15 and not 16
- "The weapon followed its master - kzzzzkt - arcing through ruined cities that rose above the clouds...It fell upon sprawling catacombs - kzzkt - worlds of dead gods deep underfoot."
Yeah thats why i thought about the Ocean King
why are they mentioning citiessss aaa
Anomalous research went from 58% to 55% any mention of Hello Games tweaking the numbers?
We went too fast for sean
Who knows....
Pfff of coursed they tweaked the numbers xD
They dont want us get further than 60% yet lol
I'm imagining it stays between 60-80 so people will hop on an finish it on the weekend..... Or at least I hope
Maybe they didn't delete anything, but added something fun so the end got further away?
Who knows. I'm just hoping we can finish by this weekend as I'm going to be swamped all of next week and weekend.
I'm thinking they added more so progress was more in line with their dev timeline
Because while the myth beacon is ingame
It currently does nothing
Nothing past that step Is actually in the game files
And judging by other community research speeds, they probably expected it to be done by weeks end
Not in 2 days
They've not added enough for it to be slowed down by another 5 days though.
well it does give mission pop up when you fly over boundary failures in the mystery system@subtle gorge
this place
we are not meant to be there yet
but people already found it and went there xD
Show the boundary failures thing if ya can
@wind panther was the one who saw it
they had myth beacon modded in inventory
but it didn't do anything except for the mission pop up
It told me the mission location was found and to land, like the rendezvous messages, but the message went away before I could slow down and land
The nearby boundary failures didn't do anything special and the myth beacon didn't seem to cause any effects
Boundary failures will open, change my mind
I don't think all the content is in yet. I think they'll update again in a day or two
Hence all the labeling errors
the system is literally labeled as S2 mystery3 and stuff reacts to myth beacon
we will likely be going there anyways
HG has discovered all the planets in there
Yeah I'm leaving myself there for now
They did quite a good job with the hiding of stuff
but they couldn't hide everything
I'm so curious as to what this is
It feels like the void egg but much more significant
Hopefully I won't eat those words
Living freighter
I did think it was sorta odd that we got that bundle of living ship related materials as a reward for one of the milestones. They aren't used for anything else that I'm aware of.
It go back up to 60? Or just up from where it was?
It's at 56
It was 60
So it's prolly intentional
Bit we are moving
Whatever
I have a plan to do some s i c k grinding
yeah it is weird, I guess its to reduce the grind if you want to get the living ship as those two of the three items you have to actually work for (though its easy)
should have given glyphs though
Yea
Honestly if all the expeditions have this pace and start you off at a similar position it removes the need for a quickstart mode
Since we now know they will run all the time
Introducing: the grindmobile, only the finest in historiographical vehicles
I don't either
i searched for 2 hours didnt find any like first people ask to buy maps i buy 100 dont get a single monolith then people ask me to find nav data dont find any of them like wtf
Just go to the anomaly and buy the exocraft scanner tau
It can find monoliths and ruins
Both count for the dosimeter
ok
I recommend farming Secure Facilitie planetary maps to build up Navigation Data.
Operations Centres and Manufacturing Facilities usually have 2-3 Navigation Data available to pick up.
You can find them being sold from the Trade Station ones, yeah.
And if you don't end up liking it you can use itt to farm nav data
I recently realized the economy scanner on starships lets starships scan for trade stations.
The only downside is it won't detect plaques
Anyone know what the final reward of expedition 2 is? Is it freighter coloring or a full freighter? Or something else? I hope it's just coloring because I already decorated the inside of my freighter in my normal mode save.
unknown right now
👀
I think it was at 21% this time yesterday, we’ll probably hit 100 in the next day or so
They had to slow down our progress actually
We hit I think 61
My money's on Friday
Interesting, probably means they’re still putting the finishing touches on it
Something tells me the content ain't done
“Finishing touches” for nms standards that is haha
We’ve had 15 updates so far yeah?
16 // 16 // 16 // 16
My guess is they have the end of beachhead done already, but the end of beachhead leads directly into some massive 16th update
(If it is indeed the 16th that is)
Myth beacon summons update 16
The 16th update will continue the main story I believe
It summons sean at the house of anyone who uses it
Some good speculating here rn. Making me excited.
Yeah plus the atlas is a pretty big presence in beachhead, so it would make sense
So that when you ask about features he can say "yes, that's coming"
I'm betting on the 16th update being called Atlas falls or something along those lines
atlas implodes
someone should ask Greg on twitter if they have wrote more lore for nms
I don't wanna. I'm finnish and we hate talking

"atlas fucking dies"
The armor also makes me wonder if we’ll have more a tangible upgrade system for different parts of our character’s body. Not just cosmetic changes
Maybe releasing on 6/1? 👀 16 backwards might be a bit of a stretch
Ayyy that’s right
check #memes🤡
Forgot about that!
In 17mins it's 16 in Bri'ish
Bri ish time
Seems like a possible prediction actually
Idk, but one of the plaque messages was
//16 16 16 16 16 16 16//
Which i thought was interesting...seven 16's.
Maybe July 16?
I could see the update dropping in July or August
Or maybe September like origins
Atlas rises: August
NEXT: July
Beyond: August
Origins: September
i have question
what was the protocol glass thing that the Atlas mentions in the story?
I assumed it was leading to a 4.0 update
What’s the %
feels too early for a 4.0 update but they can be pretty unexpected
Unclear exactly.
The glass protocol/world of glass seems to be some sort of archival process where things that 'die' (Or perhaps specifically destroyed by sentinels) goes to, that sits outside of any of the iterations/simulated realities. Functionally analogous to the denizens of the simulation as an afterlife.
Notably, one of the previous iterations of the last traveler escaped the world of glass with the help of a sentinel they 'befriended', and might provide a canon reason you can remember your previous 'generations' when you die now.
But there's a lot of mysteries left in regard to it's nature, scope, purpose etc
Huh... neat.
do you get the myth beacon from getting 100% in anomalous research?
yes
ok ty
might just play on my main save instead
yeah I'm doing the same
so I am at an artefact site
what do I do now to gain the progress?
I looted the chest but I'm still on 0/3
interact with the sphere thing and it will give you the option to collect data
Yeah, the POI's with the lootable chests don't give you the interaction. Regular ruins, plaques, and monoliths have a new option you press to get the readings
ah I see thanks
Np, good luck!
yep
thanks
as long as you have the historograph thing
yeah the dosimeter eh
oh i didnt know that
Me too
I half expect the myth beacon to just summon an encounter like the initial living ship one that spits some lore relating to 4.0
Also wrong reply lol
I meant this one
I'm also a %
Also if you take the minor fluxes as hints to updates then what does "the gek -kzzzt-, the korvax -kzzzt-" mean
Update 4.0 patch notes:
-Removed vy'keen
I wish I could get that S class multi tool on my second expedition
the alien S class multi from expedition 1
looks like I have to delete the heroic pose too 😛
lol
Have you compared that one to other Alien MT's? Its surprisingly pretty bad actually (like, as low as Alien damage can get)
do we know how much quicksilver the myth thing will cost?
I can't help but notice the myth thingy has a slider to buy multiple. I think it'll be a consumable device that stacks
It's likely the next quest step may need multiple of them
Hoping it'll be like the Void Egg if so, where just the one will unlock its entire questchain, if one exists
The idea of a quicksilver consumable annoys me.
I got an idea.
We can't get the Sentinel Starships yet, right?
Well, you can also generate unlimited quicksilver from using the Historigraphical thingumajigger, by scanning lots of monuments/ruins/monoliths. So the two game loops are self supporting.
Yeah, not yet. I still want the ship of the same style they showed off pre-release, it looks cool
What if you could consume the Myth Beacon at an Atlas Station to get a Sentinel Starship?
Maybe, but I cba going to dozens of ruins with repeated text just for quest stages. This Expedition has mostly been non-grindy thus far, and I like that
Right. I'm just saying that you don't technically need to eat into your precious limited daily supply of quicksilver. One quest chain subsidises the other.
I'm honestly curious what the myth beacon will do.
The fact you will be able to get both the historigraphical thingy and myth beacons (Which are a stackable device, not a blueprint) outside of the expedition, suggests they will have a usage beyond simply checking off the expedition progress
That would be a cool reward, tbh! But I'm still hoping this teased new lore goes somewhere more transformational as an end goal
Guess it's anyone's guess atm! I personally reckon it's gonna be a Void Egg type deal, with it opening up a quest chain and sticking with you throughout it all. I think the low cost of the beacon is just so it's decently accessible to anyone's regular saves with one daily QS mission, and to people on the Expedition saves after just a few ruin visits, to keep it fun
Whatever the beacon does, I think they want it to be usable by any player, even if they ain't doing the expeditions. Or maybe it being in the QS shop is just so they can tease it with a community mission until the content's actually patched in 
yoo they added back incinerator
it's back
they improved the flame effect a bit
hot damn
any upgrades for it or just the baseline "hope you're lucky enough to find it" deal?
no upgrades
How’d you get it??
So I guess I need to do QS missions in the expedition then.
Well if the flame thrower is like the last time. You can't refuel it either.
How did you obtain it
i keep reading it as Myth Bacon
the power of modding
Mythical Bacon....... I should start a company and sell that.\
"100 Deuterium"
is deuterium actually able to be harvested as of yet?
or just the plants we can lick to get free jetpack wooshies
Oh it's been an ingame element for awhile
oh the dihydrogen refiner yea?
Yeah it's refined
The myth beacon is currently not consumable. It might be in the future, but not right now
Well, not consumable in any circumstances I've tried. Maybe if used in the right place it gets consumed?
to activate boundary failures >.>
@wind panther what were the 2 mission badges for the encrypted ones?
I know there isn't any text but the images for those exist
I don't remember, but I have time. I'll go look
Oh they're still hidden and I need to look them up. Sigh, fine 😛
those can give a hint as of what the missions will be
it was gone?
Never goone that I saw
I crafted it in march
Well one update deleted it from the multitool before that
the fire was invisible with a hint of white dust
well attempting to save edit it in only gave obsolete tech before
so it was sort of taken out of order momentarily at one point
I literally had it in a multitool for some time after desolation and then one day it was turned obsolete by an update
So the mission display I saw yesterday used the "MISSION.ATLAS.ON.DDS" file, so something to do with Atlas
There's an Atlas game mode?
i think that's been there for a while?
we become jebus and can blow up planets xD
not sure if they're going to use that in an actual game mode
ambient mode icon is used in somewhere else I think and also with expedition mode
ok, found all the patches, just have to figure out which two are the ones we want
I bet it's something with a label MYSTERY on it
a
okay so we have the first of two mystery patches
Any interesting rewards for the new expedition?
Anyone know how the easiest way to locate a crashed freighter ?
next one is probably using the dosimeter at boundary failures
If we get a surprise update at 69% I'ma flip out
Ugh that would suck
by "probably" i mean "might" cause i have no way to know lol
Should I collect my reward?
oh neat, im guessing it doesn't give anything yet though?
lol
You can claim?
it's atlas
Try it
ahuh
last one is the gold freighter
I tried, don't think I got anything
oh nvm i know what you mean by last one now
just the entire expedition reward is the gold freighter patch
no golden freighter exists
if there will really be one then it better not have that ugly rust texture
gold ship didn't exist either
you know the green pixels all over freighter hull
And yes, I got something ... lol
very nice lol
golden freighter would be kinda useless due to people outside of your group not even seeing it and even when you're in a group it's likely that your freighter colors get shuffled to random
just going by the patch
Why is my starship 10 minutes away, I just started the expedition
the final one is styled identically to the golden ship from the first expedition so just assuming based on that
Oh I have a roamer blueprint
yeah and all the mats except iron plates
When I find a small creature it will be baby punching marothon
it's kind of a nice balance of unique and entirely useless so the FOMO of missing an expedition isn't too extreme
Oh god, why game
It says 5 roamer geobays per planet
I have to walk for 10 minutes
I am on single player
It put me on a multiplayer world
everyone starts ont eh same world
This expedition is exponentially worse already
Is the final reward for this expedition at least worth it?
we don't know yet
How do I claim something from expedition in another save?
quicksilver vendor
Thanks
I’m like 80% the beachhead update will be the summer update
It lasts 10 days
Wait did the quicksilver item get unlocked?
How tf?
How does a 11 week summer expedition last 10 days
Situational awareness
Consider it before you snap back, the expedition is called beachhead
I’m referring to the update that’s coming as beachhead because that’s all they have
I could refer to it as the 🏖️ emoji
the next update won't be called beachhead
I know
Why does everything in the expedition beginning require carbon
They put you on a dead planet
Can someone tell me how that guy posted a ss with all of the patches
you get like 600 of condensed carbon for building the exocraft
@viral geyser modding
And because I just started I had to walk the 10 minutes to my ship because 5 people placed a geo bay and uploaded their base
doesn't do anything functionally relevant yet though
I can't get the carbon because I can't place a geobay
not actually encrypted, just in-game "encrypted"
IRL it just means "can't access yet"
@bronze delta scan the rocks, the secondary mat is carbon
HG literally hasn't added the proper files nor text to support the last 2 missions
My mining beam ran out
effectively hiding them from modders
@viral geyser you can check it at https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/anomalous-research
you can punch rocks to mine them
the hit animation is so sad
Ahhh ty
Yeah that 3 carbon is really gonna power my refiner
Idk tho, the way that things are going in game leads to signs that this might be a bigger update
I wonder if the leaks were true
probabyl the same 4chan one that is always referenced
not that pls
@bronze delta don't know what else to tell you, do it more than once lol
Leaks on Reddit don’t usually get taken down
they usually do cause they're not based in fact
misinformation also gets deleted unless they say it's just speculation I assume
No mans sky:downfall
Procedural cities/ combat/dungeons/ in game arg/ variety
Where am I gonna find condensed carbon on the side of this giant mountain the game generated my ship on
That was the leak basically
it's this
https://redd.it/nfm615
what were their claims based on? Can you remember?
but it's definitely made up lol
that's the link to the reddit feed message that has a preview, since the post was removed.
nothing sounds legit
they never are lol, but obviously it would be cool. just someone taking all the community wishes and making a fake leak, happens every time there's any hint at new content
Dear god this is infuriating, I already disliked the devs choices, but I have spent like a solid maybe 30 minutes doing what would be a 5 minute task if the devs considered the geobay limit
I do believe it has to do with city’s and combat though
Based on the little arg in game
Not literal
Beachhead
it's just a hint at proper shorelines
current water rendering is broken
it constantly shifts around along with camera movement and is never at the same height as the actual water
Wait...
Combat, maybe. Cities, no.
When did hermetic seals not need 150 condensed carbon?
It mentions cities like 4 different times in the 16/16/16/16 mission
I'm being realistic.
I am too
Yeah, but the player is in the Outer Edge
The Vy'keen things say girls scream is heard throughout the Outer edge
I reckon we will know more when the item in the quicksilver thing unlocked
And a certain Vy'keen encounter has you turning a radio to that scream
If the game can't load this, there is no chance it could load a city. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/838573743226880051/842887482822492170/20210514181319_1.jpg
Meaning you are in fact in the Outer Edge
Unless there is absolutely nothing in said city
Bases are rendered differently then ruins. Ruins are rendered in the same way trees and rocks are
Idk, wit a city it might end up rendering less individual pieces overall
I'd imagine a small town is easier to render than that, at least
Bases aren’t rendered the same way other things are.
How are they rendered
Plus, what would they even put in cities
You guys are missing the point of the Outer Edge thing
Eh I think towns could be good
Who says the cities would be alive? I’m thinking them more as a dungeon thing. Ruined cities
Like the lore states
Maybe not full cities
Except that we can go to the core of galaxies, which is definitely not the outer edge
So even more pointless
Ok
I'm being realistic
They can barely fill up archives with stuff
What kind of loot would be worth it
AKA derelicts on the ground
Idk
Anyway I need to to bed gn
Till there's millions lol
Who is to say that korvax prime and the other origin planets are anywhere near the galactic center
While I know korvax prime is destroyed
By that thinking, any itmes they will add will be duped, so they shouldn’t add any new items
Ok
if they were gonna add anything dangerous on foot they'd desperately need to revamp combat
They've gotten ship combat to a nice place imo, just need on foot combat to feel more weighty
I started building an Exocraft Hangar in the Mystery 3 system.
Got the Pilgrim one set up there so far.
My Pilgrim is set up with basically all the goodies now. Just needs the hazard protection mods and some actual upgrade modules.
Imo this is why they should prioritize fixing dupes
I don't really know what to do with the 3 movement adjustment mods.
Mystery 3 system?
Azure, Gumsk, and I were investigating it last night. Somewhere near the starting system for Beachhead, there's a system with a yellow Atlas icon next to it, and the associated mission text reads UI_EXPED_S2_MYSTERY3_LABEL. This system was discovered by Hello Games.
There's a Weird Planet there called Nessie Q8. Once when Gumsk passed nearby one of the Boundary Failure structures in his starship, his Expedition status belched out "Mission Location Reached".
But interaction with them yielded nothing yet.
For now, I'm using my Pilgrim to explore Ancient Ruins.
a lot of people seem to have found their way there
and well, the next mission literally is about boundary failures
So I am at the system with the rendezvous, what do I do?
@bronze delta Must be a tad late, but get into your ship and fly into space
Try to look for the planet with the rendezvous location. Usually the one with most player bases and comm stations
What are the chances that Downfall leak is accurate? Was thinking it sounded a bit ambitious but it was removed and taken down so...?
Once you find and land on the planet scan the planet and use your visor to pinpoint it
What's Downfall ?
Chances are about 0.016% in my book
I'm thinking so as well, but this game has surprised me before, so you never know
I want it to be real lol
It sounds so cool
Nice.
There is a scrambled special reward, and I'm sure it's scrambled for a reason. Either it's a spoiler or something really good
So Universal Anomalous Research Progress is community wide?
Yup.
Does continuing to scan additional alien artifacts for Nada and Polo help that progression then?
Yes.
good morning historiographer-friends
yea, it literally mentions Loop16, which is a wt thing, not in game
oh nice we at 70% now
tomorrow is gonna be the day hopefully
tbh that downfall fan update sounds a little more plausible than what most people come up with lmao
except the cities part of course
but I can see NMS adding planetary dungeons underground, like a more intact ancient ruins
and the rest of the patch notes doesnt sound anything too out there
the Abyss doesnt have to be a "fourth race", they can just add them like the Traveller "race"
or literally just duplicates of Travellers like the plot of the weekend missions few months ago
if it wasnt the "The last expedition will lead to the end of the simulation, a new update will come adding new variety and enhancing the entire game..." I might have believed it
also the fourth race is anomaly
I'm talking 4th race in terms of mechanics
as in all the milestones and standing like we have with the three races
I really dont think they'll ever do a fourth
it would be quite lazy in fact
also if the abyss is a race then that means playable abyss
of course they'll let us have abyss heads if they did that
those exist tho
but realistically if they did add them I am betting on them just being Traveller clones
the abyss itself isnt humanoid, but its duplicating travellers
then you wouldnt be able to tell them apart
Something as easy as having them dripping water along with a rushing water sound instead of the glow of traveller echos would be easy to tell them apart.
that's why I said it would be the more realistic one as that's what its happening canonically
so adding abyss as a race wont make sense
if anyone had problems saying it
This video shows you how to pronounce Dosimeter
lol
dosimeter
of course this happened
why did they make it an item and not a tech like the artemis translator lol
but we're in normal mode how did they even lose it
following because mine was in my in my inventory, then I reloaded the game an hour later and it was suddenly gone
wtf
or be selling random stuff to clear inventory and say "tf is this, imma sell it"
oh what
wierd
nms momnt
Might just be The Abyss taking it back. >_>
that's why you get the wireless freighter upgrade, stick it in a cargo box, and never look back
and always bring your freighter with you
why would a key card be installable tech?
meh
i keep core techs, atlas pass, and basic resources in my general inventory and the rest are in cargo
right so it's an item, you can throw it in any one of your inventories, if it was installable tech you'd be forced to keep it in either your main inventory or your tech page
well
thats what i do so
idk why youd want to put it in cargo but you can
if it was tech
"any one of your inventories" -> main, cargo, ship, freighter, freighter storage...
I don't know why you'd want less flexibility
open doors twice as hard
Why the hell is this community meter not full yet? it gained like 50% yesterday and like 15% today? I'm disappointed in all of you, especially you, in the back
Don't blame us HG is clearly tuning it to slow it down haha
Sure, blame it all on the people that definitely have the power to do it and might have a vested interest in doing so!
well
ig they didnt have the content reade
i see no other explanation
ive been grinding tho
I'm betting they have it ready, they just have a timeline they want to follow, probably getting the timer to the weekend
true
use the QS to buy a void egg? :V
void eggs
well they did give you the materials you'd need in the middle of starbirth mission
so you can get your fleshy ride a little quicker
just don't forget to get the rest of your glyphs if you're gonna do starbirth lol
How we doing on progress of the community challenge for expedition 2? (I think it was @70% when I went to work this morning...)
Looks like 72% currently
i'm in now 😛 going to crack on and do some more...
I think they slowed down the progress a tad too much
yea
watch as they speed it up at the last minute
thats what theyre doing ig
almost 0 progress until they want it to unlock
then we accelerate so much we finish instantly when they want us to
It will unlock sometime this weekend for sure
To be fair, that's gotta be a helluva thing to try to predict, the exact number of monoliths players will scan
true
why do i think they initially calculated it so its when the entire playerbase does the 3 scans milestone
there is quite a bit of lore for more than 3 scans
i thought it was called beachhead cuz summer was coming x'D
but yeah that also makes sense
seeing the lore logs...
Beachheads in prime galaxies!
Lets flood the universe!
prime galaxies which are just beaches
Okay, honest question, if HG is controlling the progress bar to only release when they want, is there really a point to doing the scans? :'D
It's just kinda discouraging to be doing all of this flying around and then see stuff like that
Well
Progress has slowed down cu I Guess people got mad xd
Nah they arent really controlling the bar... They just slowed It down yesterday to discourage some people xD
That seems kind of counterintuitive
Ah well its at 73% now
Deppends on how many people get scans now.... Guess we can make It to 80 or even 90 today
Uuh well dunno about 90 but yeah we'll make It to 80 xd
Thing that i dont get cuz a couple days ago progress went from 0 to Up to 50% in less than 24 hours lol
So then at 60% HG noticed and was like woah woah woah slow down there
And lowered It to 55%
Not once but a couple times xd
It's not, yesterday morning/overnight was extremely slow compared to prime-time. If they are 'faking it' that faking does at least correlate to player activities peaks and troughs.
Hmm Guess the milestone was set not so high... Then when they saw the player activity they were like.... Errr yeah lets change this
Yeah, they don't need to slow progress down. If they felt they needed to keep it under control, they'd go the other way around, making it slow and "helping" from time to time.
But they did fake the progress xD
It was hilarious though
People being hyped hitting 60%
And then checking the progress and be like.... Eeeh this is going backwards
xd
Maybe hilarious if you're Lucy, but not if you're Charlie Brown :'D
Same. My expedition save character is 100% stronger then my main
Main save me: "Who are you?"
Expedition save me: "I'm you but so much stronger."
Aah I dunno, my main has over 100 hours and is hella strong with the cool ships and freighter
I can jetpack on my expedition save for like 8 secs, not to mention shrug off walker blasts
Could always just transfer it over with save editing, aha
Ah true lol
If I knew how, but my normal save has all the multitool weps unlocked and installed
I mean they still let people get away with that xD
Smh can't just copy it over
Would have to be merged
Also anybody mind giving me a bloody void egg?
You can! If you use the save editor you can copy certain chunks of your save verbatim
Well you could go to the Anomaly and beg for one
That or Farm quicksilver
With the daily quests and space encounters....
Besides this season we get other way to farm quicksilver too xd
Once we get It as Season reward
Not on my main smh
Yeah I know
.... unless someone gives my main a dosi
We still need to get it as Season reward lol
For main?
Cant get dosi for main yet
Need to complete the second Season first
So dosi will be available for main soon?
Eeeh hopefuly yes xD
If you complete the second Season yeah
Its one of the Season rewards after all
Actualy find this way more efficent than the random encounter
Cuz condensated ice chances to get quicksilver are like reallly really low
So you gotta reload your Game lots of times till you get quicksilver....
But with the dosi well, you got a constant flux of quicksilver earnings
What if it gets consumed?
Eh well expedition dosi doesnt get consumed, does it? xD
Not currently, but could be due to missing the target that triggers it to be consumed?
Sorry, my bad, I was thinking dosi, but meant Myth Beacon
Aah right
Yeah myth beacon can be claimed lots of times hmm...
Wonder what the myth beacon does c':
I somehow duplicated all of the void egg items and the void egg
Is it intended or a bug
I'm guessing it's a consumable that triggers... something. Given we can also buy the beacons in our primary saves, it suggests it actually has a functional purpose, like the Void Egg
Given all the talk of a 'weapon' in the lore, I'm very curious indeed. I'm not sure it'll be a literal weapon mind.
Same! Top gek
yooo
Even the maturated parts
dms
And that soul thing that needs to be recharged
Hum....
I don't know how it happened
I got my living ship and minutes later everything appeared again in my inventory
On ps4
||I broke the simulation||
Wait, so you are saying we can get the historical thingy in all saves?
Very interesting
It has to be able to do something then
Gets you quicksilver.
reminds me of one of the glitched frames in Desolation
Oh boy here we go again
Bottom two lines are "the weapon is coming" or something.
Look to the monolith...the weapon is coming
I'm not focusing on the glyphs but the background
there is something
Doesn't really mean much to us who've been doing dosimeter uploads.
The glitched image is interesting
gonna run it through a spectogram reader but I doubt there's gonna be anything, seems like a general game screenshot that was warped
yeah nothing special, though it sounds hella spooky
Spooky
I heard many beeps throughout the audio. Interesting
They were faint but you could still hear the beeps
what does that mean????
the beeps are from it reading the "glyphs"
reference to the stuff you can read when doing the dosimeter readings
Interesting is that a Expedition thing or a hint to the update??
yes
what does it say if you dont mind telling
and here's all the lines you can find when doing the in game mission: #nms-spoilers message
I think beachhead is a build up for expedition 3
clearly a weapon is coming
inb4 It's just the incinerator 
interesting that it says monoliths, since all the Rendezvous points are monoliths
well, portals
its more like logical than interesting for me
i wonder when people will stop ask for new enemy and race
my speculation is that we're finally activating the boundary failures
maybe when there 100 of them?
Expedition 3: 54 minutes
since the next mission involves them
wonder when people will stop bothering those who ask for new enemy and race
that would make sense
damn
like
We getting a glassing cannon?
Lol they're shaped like hexagons like Waking titan
the what
there is at least 50% chance that they will activate
the boundary failures
this seasons lore is about patterns in time changing
and stuff
H E X A G O N
not just the shape but the choice of colors too
boundary failures are gateways used by sentinels to hop between different universes/timelines
if it was just shape I'd say its a simple coincidence
Patterns in time was also a mission in the main story
makes sense that we would finally activate them
maybe myth beacon will be used to activate them
idk
interesting so kinda like the Vex from destiny
that's kinda coincidental as the patterns in time/history is a common theme of the lore
What could boundary failures do?
Could be a new way to teleport around
Maybe we can destroy plantes with the weapon
probably the same thing we're doing now
Interdimensional portal?
in the lore they are gateways between different simulations and timelines
use dosimeter/myth beacon on them for lore
Oh god
that would be cool if NMS opened a multiverse idea
I mean the lore already kinda does
fully does
space encounters are items from other universes
Totally spitballing here - but people have kept asking for a "Living Freighter" since the inception of living ships.
If the 'weapon' is as the text implies, some sort've giant entity, it might be functionally serve as such a thing <.<
hmm wonder if the game will ever bring that into the game
Wait giant space creatures????
maybe not an organic freighter but yeah something lovecraftian for sure
not creatures entities
Imagine the squishy sounds when you walk around
We do have a giant skull , so you maybe not that far off
just a space worm skull bro
I mean
maybe something like that
Then it turns out the giant skull, was just a regular skull that fell into a boundary failure and got relocated elsewhere in the simulation at totally the wrong scale 😉
wack
Maybe they gonna add the grey sentinel walker
maybe a sentinel thingy
Sentinel Death Star
Or it could be the Abyss
boundary failures will open! I want to believe
I mean combat update and sentinels would make sense to update.
Hrm.
Not implausible. The monoliths are devices/components of the Atlas and the Sentinels, not something we've historically seen tied to the Abyss
Weekend event
You all gather in a specific system full of sentinels freighters/walkers on planets and the goal is to kill the most sentinels as possible together
what exactly is the abyss is it just anti life/ opposite atlas
I mean is the Abyss malignant or just an entity
probably just a entity
Just like how light can be dark if used by the wrong person
something like that
Ok destiny
- 13TH Encounter
SCENARIO: Multiple contacts have occurred between the Traveller [HOST] and individuals claiming to have arrived from a future location in time.
The phenomena is typically preceded by electromagnetic distortion consistent with a white hole anomaly. No lasting effects seem to occur.
ANALYSIS: Something or someone is attempting to deceive the Traveller [HOST]. There is no such thing as 'time travel'. Older universes might contain elder beings, but such multiversal transportation, even temporary, is impossible.
Even the Atlas is incapable of rewriting its own causality. It is bound to a purpose, as am I.
Giant Enemy Crab Sentinel
True
It's unclear, it's the last great mystery of NMS.
Intelligence that arises from the negative space of the simulation? Something that arose in a previous itteration and transended it? A glitch in the matrix so to speak? Something from a high or lower reality?
Lots of possibilities.
xD
@cursive kernel #nms-spoilers message
If the atlas is a supercomputer abyss is probably a computer virus
it's just a regular flying sentinel but bigger
does it work now
Oo
they be like

Wonder if it's an actual combat update - being able to step through into the universe when the first spawn et al. were at war
a
Watch it be the biggest tease to just give us a multitool reward.
opening of boundary failures would be the safest thing to do without affecting current universe and buildings
Somehow I think the boundary failures will open up to our reality
"The weapon was inside you all along"
@mental socket
There is no such thing as 'time travel'.
And then you wonder why NPC keep telling you did things long time ago, you have no recollection of
they can only transport things between ATLAS's simulations/universes
grab a myth beacon, head to a boundary failure, travel back in time, and go fight some first spawn gek
Imagine seeing our characters in the wild
it would most likely be like billions of years back and in a different universe iteration too
if those were to open
NMS multiverse update lol
I don't really think any such scenario is gonna happen.
Has myth beacon been unlocked yet?
"Time travel" is relative. There are countless itterations running in parallel but not all congruent in time. So entities from one universe can certainly travel from one itteration to what if functionally the past, and seem like time travellers from the future in that 'newer' itteration.
Your memories from futures past, are from previous itterations of yourself. This is further complicated by the fact you are unique in that you escaped the world of glass
its not time travel, its you just repeating your life
Maybe we could see the creators of the atlas and learn how to make our own and become gods lol
yup, world of glass prevents true death
right from the start your future self is helping your current self
Time is relative
you left the hermetic seal and other blueprint records
And it's the 4th dimension
you wrote the base computer messages
Is the golden alpha helmet
Like the retro jetpack
the overseer is another part of the charade
so deep
I love the Overseer, although they at times almost break the 4th wall
I mean yeah I never thought about the time loop
hm
But i use a VR headset! /s
that's also a screen bro
eeeh not really
maybe i have it backwards @mental socket
Do the NPCs know about our real universe?
Our world is a NMS dimension confirmed
Any time I hear something about glass in a sci-fi game I think covenant
Only Telamon, and that's just a suspicion on their part
that was a big part of the ARG
I cant wait for our world to update lol
That's kinda how the story of Simulation Theory works.
The name of the expedition is 'beachhead'... so maybe the previous iterations/past are 'invading' the present - beachhead being a staging point for an invasion
could be...
Maybe our universe will be revealed
I suppose the question is - who's invading who?
we shall set up a beachhead at the gates of multiverse, the boundary failures
or something
exactly

Alternatively, something else set up the beachhead against us.
Wait
ooh does that mean new universes to explore?
Multiple realities could include our reality
eeeh its not the screen
Then does that actually make me a warden of glass
Everybody gangster till our character walks into our house
doesnt have to deal with the computer screen really xD
I mean any screen lol dont get hung up on semantics
I want his drip
Idk wtf that means.
The world of glass isn't the screen. it's a cute idea but the world of glass is a process. Atlas even lists it as such in one of their dialogues.
For the denizens of the simulation, it's basically purgatory
So its the trashcan on our desktop?
everything that "dies" ends up there
Then what is the process
We are Toby from the WARE company
my boy
We are Karen from HHRR
world of glass=The manager listening to a Karen
Seems like an archival process to me. Everything that 'dies' ends up there, curated by the sentinel process. Nothing seems to get wiped from it, as the last traveller encounters first spawn there amongst other thing, and it's existence is not linked to any one itteration
No Mans Messiah
Maybe we can visit different dimensions now
Could Artemis return?
🤷
Ain't it dead already
that would be a very large large large update
i doubt it but who the heck knows
Artemis either dies or gets trapped in Nada's simulation
Artemis gets wiped with the reset, even if you save her.
I mean having a private hell dimension would be cool
Not really. >_>;
i like null's design
hell yeah it would
Artemis is the goddess of hunting. All of the named itterations are named for greek gods/titans/etc. So, arguably a female name, whether travellers even have a gender is questionable ;p
it would actually make NMS infinite
I would probably see all the creatures i killed lol
I know helios is the sun God or something
"New item received! " ... Glitched Sandbag
HYPERION was a passcode in wakingtitan.com. now it's a traveller
Helios is the Titan of the Sun and then handed it to Apollo
in their perspective, for us its the loading screen when we die and then revive with a grave (unless you play permadeath), so it becomes an interesting question of what they see which is explained by the Atlas as a subroutine of being stuck in an awkward purgatory dimension even though they shouldn't be able to "see"
Maybe we could meet past null
I just knew helios had to do with the sun
Ain't he really fucken old
isnt it being store clerks enough purpose?
Is there a reason why we respawn
xd
Other than gameplay
yeah
still I wouldn't use male/female pronouns for them because they don't do it either
simply iterations
I gather that -Null- did something akin to absorbing the memory space of other entities in order to extend his lifespan.
nope
I mean yeah they are alien
well Crystal Gems for Steven Universe got no gender neither but... 🤷♂️
Or even mechanical
that doesnt stop rule 34 artists
😐
I mean if we are going into the past maybe we could see " precursor "race
Possibly, yes.
The traveller you play as escaped the world of glass (Purgatory analogue), by 'befriending' a sentinel called Laylaps.
It's a little unclear, but if you are still able to do so, it may provide a canon explaination why you still retain your memories and identity between deaths outside of permadeath.
Not supposed to be anyway, just a very few mistakes (4 or so)
Where is that explanation from
base computer archives
eeeeh no the thing is...
The base archives final phase covers the story of the travellers time in the world of glass, and their escape as memory serves
The Traveller you play as... is a tiny fragment of the mind of the Atlas creator....
hate it when people do this...
Aka... Sean Murray? Lol
looks real to me, and what's strange about it?
The Crahsed Freighter entries also speak of a crew and their experiences with a Traveller who kept coming back, no matter how many times they killed them
Looks pretty real
and what about Polo and Nada journey? Specially Nada
NAda is the most interesting one tbh
but who is that person? Are they like someone who contributed a lot to waking titan or something?
cuz Polo always ends dying somehow....
why would they get that
Is a twitch streamer
yeah i think they are a twitch streamer
All of the travellers are derived from them. That's what the whole purpose of the travellers was from what I remember of Remembrance. Atlas way of trying to get it's creator's approval.
The 'last traveller' though is the only one that truly has the realisation of what it is.
Nada and Polo think they're exceptional to the system, and on the run from Atlas. But the reality is that they are behaving as the Atlas prescribed, to provide a safe haven for the Traveler.
Reminded me of an old photo I made, but yes, most likely just being creative
Idk if they got it recently it could be the weapon*
eh its nothing interesting, they just made it more blurry that's all
relateble
It's a rabbit hole! Though that mostly comes from it being intentionally obtuse and fragmented
A lot of things aren't stated in explicit terms, so honestly, a lot of it is up to interpretation.
probably to have a cleaner look of the figure, without the 3 others appearing on the helmet
We have received a lot over a period of almost 5 years now
I dont follow the lore its super confusing to me NMS is just a space game
its like trying to understand 40k lore
nah
You are literally one of it's NPCs then. :3
hella neat but so confusing
I just think haha funny space game
TRUE!
its just more vague about stuff so you can make your own interpretations and headcanon
NMS at its core was about forging your own experience and story
I freely admit being hooked on the lore from launch day, personally. Those original abandoned building logs hit different when I first saw them
That's another beast in it's own way
See I just skip through the text
aaah yes I love the abandoned buildings logs too
Because reading is lame 🗿
as expected from a jojo reader
I love 40k so much lol
got em
Mr Joestrr
Bold to assume I can read
Honestly i just want to destroy systems lol
xD
Or terraform them or create them
I mean if they add a big ass weapon i would install it on my freighter
I just want him back
Maybe we finally taking full control of the atlas
Who's your God now
