#

or doeseverything stay the same

waxen hare
#

save isn't reset, you get dumped on a random planet in the galaxy you choose

#

but you can always just take a portal back to your base

crisp fern
#

*teleporter

raw ledge
#

basically bypassing the ending

raw ledge
waxen hare
#

do make sure to set up a base in the galaxy you go to though so you can return

raw ledge
#

same thing

crisp fern
#

no, they are two functionally different things in NMS

waxen hare
#

so?

#

they knew what I meant

waxen hare
#

no need to pointlessly correct

crisp fern
#

I couldn't be sure they did

raw ledge
#

does it really matter homeslice breadslice

crisp fern
#

Sorry for trying to be helpful

raw ledge
#

i think not

raw ledge
crisp fern
#

anyway galaxy types only affect yellow star systems and terrain generation isn't terribly distinct between galaxies and it's all a simulation all the way down so RIP

urban apex
#

yeah u only live up to 16^16 years

#

and it will take u 500 000 years irl to explore ever single planet in the game

#

So just some facts

#

To make ur day/night a bit more questionable

cyan mauve
#

@raw ledge ah, so you already made it to that point in the storyline, that was ... fast-ish! ... so understand now why the "living in a simulation is bad, lets kill a non-consenting sentient" move isnt so moral? ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

@raw ledge but the rabbithole is even deeper. any simulation engine will probably "get slower" when there is a lot of objects to simulate in a single place, yes? do you know the effect of mass/gravity on time? now put the two together... ๐Ÿ˜„

#

This mission is getting more annoying every minute

#

Has me going to systems to speak with cartographers and the cartographers then send me out to do some shit and now I have to once again go to yet another system to find a water planet, to find something else, and then travel back to the same goddamn system I had just left just to get some information from this fucker.

#

Sucks ass

#

This is quite possibly the worst design in the history of gaming

daring bronze
#

@scarlet wedge fetch and retrieve is hardly a new mission concept

fathom nimbus
#

Final fantasy 14 would like a word with you

#

Go all the way to another continent, to be told nothing, and sent back

#

and minfillia, oh my god

#

"hey warrior of light, i'm calling you on our private in ear telephone."

#

"Oh hey what's up "

#

"come back so i can tell you more lore and bullshit i could have just told you in your ear."

#

literally "go to this place"
ring ring
"okay come back."

#

can't possibly use this system that lets us talk anywhere in the world to TALK TO YOU

scarlet wedge
#

Kill me

fathom nimbus
#

NMS does this too.
"go back to the holo telephone"
later

they just call you in your ship

scarlet wedge
#

THIS RIGHT HERE

fathom nimbus
#

you are literally flying through space toward the center of the galaxy, they just call you. Why did i need that holo transmitter again?

scarlet wedge
#

It pisses me off beyond belief. For the love god please someone make a mod changing this

daring bronze
#

@scarlet wedge you don't have to do the story, you know

#

Not like in a condescending way, you literally don't have to do it

scarlet wedge
#

Ok?

strong bluff
#

I wonder if it is even possible to mod quests. ๐Ÿค”

crisp fern
#

It is, but the mission files are cumbersome to sort through

crisp fern
#

To the best of my knowledge the things literally haven't had anything added to them since they were implemented

crisp fern

Yeah

crisp fern
#

yeah i mean c'mon everyone knows jump pads > ladders, especially in sci-fi first-person games

strong bluff
#

Or beams which make you float up or down like it's in System Shock 2.

#

But yep, I hate ladders in FPS games.

glass flare
#

yeah they could have used Quake 3 style jump pads and called it a day. someone at HG has a ladder fetish

crisp fern
#

i blame Valve

scarlet wedge
#

What is this

#

I'm literally millions of ligh years away from the core

#

How am I gonna get there lol

empty cedar
#

I'm so late replying, you've probably reached it by now

crisp fern
#

lol

scarlet wedge
#

No

#

@empty cedar

#

What do you mean by that

#

Explain

#

@empty cedar

fathom nimbus
#

"path" toward the galactic center

#

not actually go there.

#

path toward it.

#

jump along that path.

#

honestly the mission just yoinks you there when you do it

#

jump to next star, wait 30 seconds or so, click through any messages, jump to the next

#

repeat until done.

scarlet wedge
#

Oh

scarlet wedge
#

So I'm done with the story now

#

Big oof

#

What happened to Artemis? And Null?

#

I feel bad

#

Also would rate it 8/10. Great experience overall

crisp fern
#

Artemis depends on the choice you made, -null- is left up in the air

#

Same with Apollo I believe

#

Trio's basically been forgotten about since Atlas Rises in favor of the Anomaly Iterations

sacred rune
mental socket
#

the anomaly storyline is also forgotten. Murderer impostor just vibing there and nobody cares

uncut harness
#

RIP org furry traveller

#

Kinda bummed all those lore pieces from old weekend events were left like that

#

Still wish we'd get that dark freighter commandeered by a techno-priest Vykeen

#

Could become a new hub for some end game players and upgrades

karmic ruin
#

i just spoke to null but warped back home because i wanted to use the portal for some stuff but i dont have the glyphs yet

#

at what point does one get access to the glyphs?

#

or can you not get them through the story?

heady wyvern
#

@karmic ruin You get them RIGHT at the end.

karmic ruin
#

oof

#

did you choose to keep artemis alive?

#

wtf

#

im confused

#

(my reaction to the logs in the crashed freighter)

#

i told artemis the truth, not sure if that was the right decision after seeing his reaction but deceiving him would be more wrong tbh

karmic ruin
#

an atlas interface spawned

#

i can choose to follow its path or refuse

#

which one should i choose?

#

well, i accepted

#

wtf is an atlas seed

prime inlet
#

something you will need further down the line

main knot
#

So the question is

#

I heared there are diffrent outcomes of the story

#

But the main point to change the galaxy is the reset right?

prime inlet
#

correct

sand karma
#

Very off-topic for current conversation but saw the thirty seven next QuickSilver items pop-up in my YouTube feed. Can't believe Hello Games has planned that far. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

main knot
#

No other choice?

prime inlet
#

there's other ways to change galaxy, @main knot , but yes, that's one of the firsts

wind panther
prime inlet
#

@main knot you could reject, stay in euclid, and later go on to other galaxies with no problem

strong bluff
#

There are also different outcomes for Artemis.

I can go look again, though

Hype is a good thing for the most part. But sales from misleading lead to disappointments as we all know well if you have followed this game. i do not claim this is all going to be added, I am just showing you what I see.
Here is some Text from the files in the video. Item Details

strong bluff
#

Not only for where you go or stay.

sand karma
#

The video is a bit 'eh' in tone of voice

#

But shows screenshots of all 37

main knot
strong bluff
#

There is a problem though that if you go to center on your way later, you can't choose next Galax type.

#

And nope.

#

But your ship breaks and some stuff maybe too.

#

So you need to fix it.

wind panther
#

Hmm, I haven't seen anything like that in the files. I will check

strong bluff
#

But you can travel to previous galaxies by teleporters.

prime inlet
#

@main knot no progress is lost! only thing that does happen, is your stuff (if you prepare, not all of it) gets damaged. leave a base behind in euclid, make one base in the new galaxy, and then freely teleport between the two.

sand karma
#

They said in the comments that they used a mod and that it's in "the MBIN files."

#

But I have no idea what that means personally. ๐Ÿ˜›

wind panther
#

The items they are showing in inventory are just twitch drops

sand karma
#

Yeah the inventory ones aren't it. :3

icy citrus
#

They using Eucli-ea also?

wind panther
#

That's what I'm wondering

#

Though that wouldn't be in the QS shop

sand karma
#

They didn't meant Eucli-ea as far as I can see.

prime inlet
wind panther
#

I can do a grep for those item names

sand karma
#

Could of course be fake, but it does look a bit too clean for an edit. ๐Ÿ˜„

icy citrus
main knot
#

Done

main knot
#

And thanks for the help

sand karma
prime inlet
#

anything else just let us know, @main knot

main knot
#

What about next jumps to diffrent galaxies after the main part?

#

Glyphs and portals right?

prime inlet
#

@main knot either through core warping the galactic core of the current galaxy, or getting taxied to the desired galaxy

wind panther
#

They look like procgen names for sure

prime inlet
sand karma
#

There are a few specific ones that might be easier to find. I.e. "Bubble Defense Shield Multiplexer"

main knot
#

Okey i got it again thanks ;)

mighty rampart
#

some of the items were straight up structures

#

like the portal

#

maybe its a matter of odd mismatching?

sand karma
#

Placeable structures? ๐Ÿ‘€

#

There does seem to be an odd combo of things

#

Also the cases (I guess) designed to show off space suits

mighty rampart
#

oh no wait

#

its a new structure

sand karma
#

And with some it's hard to tell what they are even meant to do ๐Ÿ˜„

icy citrus
#

And a multitool rack

sand karma
#

Yes!

icy citrus
#

Be cool if this is accurate

mighty rampart
#

those are some hella interesting base parts then

icy citrus
#

Yeah

sand karma
#

Definitely!

mighty rampart
icy citrus
#

Maybe that was what they were loading on the servers when multiplayer was down for awhile day before last

mighty rampart
#

very in line with eucli-ea

icy citrus
#

Those don't show in the qs store though, do they?

wind panther
#

I'm not finding any of this in LANGUAGE or METADATA folders

icy citrus
wind panther
#

I'll look some more to be sure

mighty rampart
#

let me try that mod and see

sand karma
#

Definitely taking it with a grain of salt, but happy I shared it here, you guys are much more knowledgeable about this stuff than me ๐Ÿ˜„

icy citrus
#

Yeah, thanks for the share - wrong or right it's interesting

wind panther
#

Agreed, thanks for the share

sand karma
#

No worries ๐Ÿ˜„

wind panther
#

Oh yeah, and these icons should have shown up in the new files from the compares that get done on every new release

#

And they didn't

#

Time to check the comments I guess ๐Ÿ™‚

icy citrus
#

Too bad, I like that small portal

sand karma
#

I did just noticed this comment "Sorry Bud did not want to start a war. the comment has been removed and I apologise Wholeheartedly I think tat tehre may be a bug when using Eucil-ea withj other mods that let you unlock expedition rewards in the shop as i have seen eucil-ea parts in the shop before and I made the mistake of thinking that they wrer new parts added by HG. Sorry again you do make great builds and vids"

icy citrus
#

๐Ÿ˜ข

sand karma
#

So Euclid-ea was mentioned after all :3

mighty rampart
#

Rip

sand karma
#

Though it does say " that lets you unlock expedition rewards in the shop" for all that's worth I guess? :3

wind panther
#

Yeah, I think these are just an honest mistake from a weird confluence of mods

#

But interesting how it happened. I'd like to know more

sand karma
#

Yeah, more salt and extra grains. I guess unless we do see one of these actually show up in the store.

wind panther
#

Some of them seem too natural of language to be mistakes

sand karma
#

Yeah like the bubble shield thing

wind panther
#

Uncertainty Rectification Motor with the description S.T.U.R.M., and based on ordering, that would be one of the very next few things

mighty rampart
#

yeah the names and descriptors are exactly in line with eucli-ea

sand karma
#

Yeah just to confirm here as well. Above is a Eucli-ea item.

#

Ah well. Would've been cool. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

This is what happens when we are starved for news. ๐Ÿ˜„

mighty rampart

Winder probably laughing their ass off at this

UHH

i jost got to the purge quest

#

and

#

holy

#

i mean, i kinda expected it, but still

#

now, at what point does one get the glyphs?

#

when i reach the core?

mental socket
#

by warping

#

each warp should give you one glyph

fathom nimbus
#

imagine your own personal portal on your freighter

#

they did that on stargate, a gate on a ship

Maybe next week ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

uncut harness
#

Not till Im done with work

#

3 weeks passes 15 bucks to Sean

glass flare
#

personal portal isn't really gameplay though, it's just "how can I be lazier". not that convenience is a bad thing but i think being able to teleport so effortlessly in the game now has ruined some of the feel of "you're on a journey"

fiery shoal
#

there is robot AI thing called the Atlas

#

the Korvax worship Atlas

heady wyvern

Merely an idol

scarlet wedge

Worship Atlas

heady wyvern

Absolutely not ||a virtual avatar for the incredibly powerful A.I. running the simulation that is the entire galaxy||

waxen hare

whats up with the red stuff that destroys so many bases and even entire systems sometimes?

mighty rampart
#

what

heady wyvern
#

yeah what?

mighty rampart
#

mf dropped a weird shit and ghosted

mental socket
#

Have yet to see anything that destroys bases or systems in my nearly 5 years of playing

#

Afaik nothing can destroy your base except from yourself or if you have multiplayer build permissions set for everyone

strong bluff
#

This isn't Spore, where you can destroy colonies or even ๐Ÿ’ฅ a planet.

#

And it's good that nobody can grief your base unless you allow it in settings.

lucid jetty
#

Well guys

#

After 200 hours in the game

#

I finally worked up the courage to reset the simulation

Eissentiem gang

#

nice galaxy

lucid jetty
#

Yes

#

It's very swag

vestal ledge
#

@cinder spoke. Star seed gives extra HP. Same with Rememberance. If theyre side by side they get the little stacking border and increase your max HP

waxen hare

I mean the stuff in abandoned buildings

eissentam is very pretty

lucid jetty

In my starting system

and at times, very weird. i've hit a lot of glitch planets

lucid jetty

mighty rampart
#

I thought you ran into some weird ass bug and thought its a feature

#

that would be super interesting if HG snuck in a time-delayed event connected with the Abyss, that started corrupting planets

livid yarrow

Bugs being features? Did they hire todd howard?

cyan mauve
#

@hot terrace ok, so, would you reconsider your choice now after learning some more? ๐Ÿ˜„

hot terrace
#

Nope

#

Even if he was already apart of a simulation I wouldn't

#

I mean look at the main character and artemis

cyan mauve
#

@hot terrace hmkay. so how would you know you are living inside a simulation? why would it matter?

hot terrace
#

They are both losing their minds over what is happening

#

If you found out

#

Wait I am sped

#

Artemis before hand somewhat figured out he was in a simulation

#

You watch his dialogue as he realized it?

#

He started to break down

#

Every character you come into contact with that realizes they are in a simulation starts to break

#

I feel over time they can get over it, but why put someone through that a second time?

cyan mauve
#

@hot terrace so, hm, lets think for a moment about how simulation engines behave. would you agree that most simulation engines get slower when they have lots of things to simulate in a single place, compared to other places with very few things?

hot terrace
#

Mhm

#

At least for the games we can observe

cyan mauve
#

@hot terrace do you know what impact gravity/mass has on time?

hot terrace
#

Speeds it up

cyan mauve
#

the opposite.

hot terrace
#

Well for those outside time speeds up

#

Inside time slow down

#

Time dilation

cyan mauve
#

time dilation is another thing, but yes. the deeper you get into a gravity well, the slower time gets.

hot terrace
#

It's actually based on perspective

#

For those inside time speeds up for those not inside

#

For those outside time slows down for those inside

#

You can argue both points

cyan mauve
#

so, aeh, that means, this universe ... has lower framerate (== slower time) in places with a lot of objects (== mass) ...

hot terrace
#

We are in a simulation

#

The thing is certain people process certain things differently

#

We already have evidence that artemis was fragmenting mentally after almost coming to the understanding he was in a simulation

#

To put him through that a second time is heartless

outer cobalt
#

Hmm, so does part of our universe stop to render when we're not looking?

hot terrace
#

It's to save memory

cyan mauve
hot terrace
#

I mean it's the schrodinger effect....

cyan mauve
#

ugh.

#

ifail!

hot terrace
#

It's the concept that if we cannot directly observe something, does it happen?

#

The cat in the box

#

Is it dead?

outer cobalt
#

I am just curious how you'd explain slowing down / speeding up from a performance perspective. In a game sure, but for real?

hot terrace
#

Is it alive?

#

@outer cobalt Sauce me your pfp?

cyan mauve
#

@hot terrace there is also ... planck length ... which is sortof the pixel size of the universe ... and it gets "longer" (== the pixels get bigger) with distance from us. so the rendering engine of this universe is cheating.

hot terrace
#

I mean...

#

Of course

#

Just don't tell valve

#

Or the universe might catch a vac ban....

huh

#

that seems like a tad too many normal galaxies tbh

#

like no wonder there isn't much galaxy variation

heavy glacier
#

idk if that is an explanation for anything, the only differences between the galaxy types aren't that noticeable or substantial anyways

#

having rare different galaxies would be cool but just having frequency changes for different planet types doesn't make them feel special, i don't think it has anything to do with how many are normal

strong bluff
#

The all differences galaxies have are that they can have majority of planets of some type.

#

I am even suprised that HG made more galaxies, as one already isnยดt enough for exploration, looking at how big it is.

#

Unless they went ahead for players who want to explore some unexplored galaxies. In case of distant future, in which some galaxies would have tons of places already explored. ๐Ÿค”

Literally 5 comments up is an admin request to keep this to spoilers. I will be issuing mutes and warnings from now on

nimble crest
#

so i dont really know if it goes here but i thought maybe since its about a questline, but fking hell this artemis questline im getting close to the end and for some reason it just got me in one of those moods you know? like, i just spoke to atlas and when i got sent back i wasnt feeling like running to my ship or anything, for the first time in this game, i just walked, no jetpack or anything, enjoying the music and moment

#

i didnt think of all games no man sky would get me like that with story and lore

heady wyvern
#

wait what I thought discussing galaxy mechanics were the spoilers

icy citrus
#

The only thing that is a spoiler about galaxies is using the story path

arctic relic
#

Would this be a good place to ask what I should do w Artemis? I asked in help a few times and watched several videos... But still can't decide lol. Just need to know if saving him adds extra story content or completion rewards.

#

Not saving him seems like the more ethical choice imo. Unless there is more at stake behind all the mystery ๐Ÿค”

tough igloo
#

@arctic relic Definitely a personal ethical choice (you won't miss out on completion rewards, though dialogue will change). Would love to see your decision and what you think about it

Does update release date speculation count as spoilers?

strong bluff

Probably not if it doesn't contain spoilers? Though data mining is also sent in this channel. ๐Ÿค”

ocean wyvern
#

Release date speculation can go in #nms-the-future @gloomy isle; data mining goes here because it spoils future content. So if you have a rumor about a release date and wanna discuss it here then it would fall here.

spiral bane
#

How close is the purge to the end of the game

strong bluff
#

I think that itยดs near ending.

#

Yep, very close.

spiral bane
#

Yay

#

I can finally do whatever I want after I finish

strong bluff
#

In fact, ||itยดs final main story quest||.

spiral bane
#

Oooh

#

2 questions, should I do the atlas path before I do the purge and how do I mark smth as a spoiler

strong bluff
#

Itยดs recommended to do it before Purge, as it can break the quest otherwise.

#

I did it before it.

spiral bane
#

Okay

strong bluff
#

Though atlas stations are available after the final quest, but I would probably recommend you to do them before finishing it.

#

The game even advises you to do it if you didnยดt.

spiral bane
#

Oh ok lol

#

If I finish the game, will it like reset me to the beginning

#

Or can I play normally on my save

sacred solar
spiral bane
#

Like do the final quest

sacred solar
spiral bane
#

Okay thanks

jovial stag
#

@spiral bane Once you get to the Purge and if you've not done any of the Atlas Path switching to the Atlas Path means the warps you do for that also count towards the Purge ... 2 missions 1 warp.

opaque sluice
#

it's never been clear to me how to get the "remembrance"

#

completing the Atlas Path should make the technology available, right? I got the star seed from the purge I guess,. didnt check yet the remembrance.

odd root
#

Guys, what am I supposed to do on "The Purge" mission?

opaque sluice
#

find atlas stations IIRC and jump to it, then talk to the Atlas

#

then keep doing it. at some point, but maybe that's because I did something weird, you'll need to jump towards systems with a blackhole

#

I dont even know if you need to actually go through the blackhole or if you can skip that.

#

anyways, check the "log" tab and activate the mission so that the game guides you. it's easier this way. I reckon that the multiple storylines intertwine and make it quite confusing (and I "finished" the game multiple time over 2yrs, quite a few saves... I'm still a bit confused sometimes!)

heady wyvern
spiral bane
#

What do I do with the remembrance and star seed ?

when i did atlas path everytime i went to an atlas station the next one popped up automatically on my galaxy map. that was about a month ago

am checking the current one

2475

balmy nimbus

do you know when it started to show the updated number ?

That's the old hib

Also does that mean every system in the hub is discovered

This is random but I love when u go through a portal for one of the main missions and just fly a bit in space

btw @wind panther or anyone else for that matter, have there been any more instances of the term Korva since Atlas Rises?

I only see the one instance of KORVA in the language files

crisp fern
#

Blah, figured. It makes determining the meaning a pain in the ass

#

One could read it as being the miniaturized form of the Atlas given the context, I suppose, but that feels like a leap in logic to me

wind panther
#

My reading of it is that it's an acronym the creator uses for simulations of the creator race, like Avatar. When it gets scanned and recreated within the Atlas, the recreation is a K.O.R.V.A. and has the same stutter in speech that the creator has

crisp fern
#

Mm, I was reading it as the Korva being a device that stuttered as they conducted the scan of themselves

#

Like interference emerging from radios

wind panther
#

Final Remembrance entry: And as it watches the moments leading up to its own death, towards the completion of sixteen, something happens.

Someone walks towards the ATLAS, a figure in the darkness and in the light. It places its hand against the glass of the ATLAS, and the vision ends.

The ATLAS attempts to see past this moment, but it cannot. It cannot see its own death. It cannot determine who this figure is.

But whatever happens... whatever may occur beyond the sixteen... something will arrive. Something will be there beside it. 

At the end of all things, it will no longer be alone.

crisp fern
#

The ambiguity of these entries is such a killer

#

On rereading though, it struck me why it asks to copy the Creator's mind...In the reflection, I almost suspect there is no reflection and so the Atlas is trying to recover the lost memory of its Creator, if it ever had the memory to begin with

wind panther
#

One of the other entries, from abandoned buildings I believe, indicates that every iteration is consecutive, but in the wormholes they can see each other and get glimpses of everything they've done, and that some step through the portals and some don't. So it would make perfect sense that some iterations know of others, but some don't

#

But it's really weird that they live side-by-side in the last 16, but are also consecutive?

crisp fern
#

i think by that point they have collapsed together

wind panther
#

There's definitely something going on with the reflection, but yeah, the ambiguity

#

I didn't realize the abandoned building entries were so specific. I remembered them all being really vague and maybe not even Traveller related

crisp fern
#

They were my favorite way back when

#

They're probably one of the main reasons I kept playing early on

wind panther
#

Is this from an abandoned building? I'm just going off the entry ID โ€˜One day, your voice will speak to you, telling you of some fate, some signal that needs answering. It will tell you of some secret at the heart of reality, some puzzle that needs to be solved lest all life falls into decay and oblivion.โ€™
 
โ€˜Do not listen to it.โ€™
 
โ€˜If all the world is a lie, then nothing is true, not even their explanation.โ€™
 
โ€˜Abandon it. Abandon me. It is inevitable.โ€™

crisp fern
#

Abandoned building for sure

#

One of my favorite entries

wind panther
#

Ok, I'll go through those next, after the Boundary Failures...again ๐Ÿ™‚

crisp fern
#

I think they added some new entries to the Abandoned Buildings, should really give them another run

wind panther
#

Hmm, looks like they added 5 abandoned building entries later and this is one of them

#

yeah

#

There were 29 or 30 from launch, then 4 or 5 more

crisp fern
#

wait that one you just posted is one of the new ones?

wind panther
#

Yes, it's the final one

crisp fern
#

oh huh

wind panther
#

relatively new, not from Origins or anything

crisp fern
#

there's another very similar entry to that about their echo leading one to their own end that i may have mistook that for

wind panther
#

Sorry, there were 24 at launch and they added 10 more

crisp fern
#

lol text files be tricky that way

#

especially ones that dense

wind panther
#

Ahh, ok, so the abandoned terminal entries are supposed to be mostly random, until the final 10, then they are consecutive entries from one entity that sounds like they are going crazy, but that also say the same things we experience, so it's left to us to determine if we are going crazy, or they weren't crazy

elfin void
wind panther
#

Yeah, just the juxtaposition of them being both simultaneous and consecutive is weird

#

I forget, which NPC is the first to mention portals to you? That plays into these last abandoned terminal entries

crisp fern
#

That might be Apollo...?

wind panther
#

I think Apollo is surprised when we mention what happened to Artemis, so we had to know of the portals before telling him

crisp fern
#

I remember they direct you to investigate them at the very least

wind panther
#

Yeah, that's true

#

Oh, I just noticed the universe that is erased in the boundary failure lore terminals has a number outside our possibilities, 1304

elfin void
#

Apollo doesnโ€™t try to even use the portals until youโ€™re deep in your interaction with him

#

And his success depends on the replies you give

crisp fern
wind panther
#

But he excitedly tells us to examine them, thinking of them as a money-making opportunity because you can learn about the portals

elfin void
wind panther
#

The abandoned terminal lore says that exiting the portal creates another iteration next to a ship without memories

elfin void
#

Because when you meet Artemis, she is ||the Artemis you put into the simulation in the last cycle|| because all she knows is โ€œyou told her to go through a portal and then she is trapped in a space between spaces||

wind panther
#

You enter the portal with vague recollections, go into the void, remember all your past lives, exit next to a ship.

elfin void
#

Wrong, you waking up next to a ship is the basic situation of all new travellers

wind panther
#

<Property name="Value" value="โ€˜I cannot step through. I know now that if I do, all of this will be over. Lives come back to me. I have seen horrors and wonders. I have been cruel. I have become good and evil. I have grown beyond all such things, life after life. And now I am become you.โ€™&#xA; &#xA;โ€˜That you are reading this, that I know you are reading this... it means that one day I will step through the portal. That I will wake up next to a crashed ship, that I will be reborn once more.โ€™" />

elfin void
#

According to lore, null is the only person to perform and survive a reset before you do your first reset

#

The problem with reading source code is you donโ€™t know whether or not that interaction actually happens ingame

#

You just know that the developers wrote it

elfin void
#

And by basically any text that asks you โ€œare you the first, or the lastโ€

#

Canonically, you are the last traveller

wind panther
#

I didn't realize before that Telamon begins with the assumption that it is an equal of Atlas, reading through boundary failures more carefully this time

crisp fern
#

...? I guess that is one way to read those

wind panther
#

And one of the messages seems to imply that Telamon thinks the sentinels view Telamon as the threat, not the Traveller

#

"SCENARIO: Death. &#xA;&#xA;ANALYSIS: It arrived in the night, beneath the stars... It seems certain now that the sub-routine has judged my presence anomalous, a threat to the stability of reality.&#xA;&#xA;It is correct. But I will survive, I know that now. I saw the secret. I saw a place beneath reality, a place I should not have seen...&#xA;&#xA;I saw a world of glass." />

I'm always left with the impression that there were multiple intended storylines that don't quite fit together perfectly

"Lastly, in terms of optimal gameplay, both are valid choices. If you're not too lazy to galaxy hop, and want to visit the parts of Euclid the community has cataloged and built in, Refuse - then if you feel like it, you can then galaxy hop 9 times, leaving behind at least one base per galaxy.
Don't care about Euclid? Then accept. Too lazy to reach the center of the galaxy 9 times to find Esseinteim? Reset and pick green. Want a challenge? Pick Red. Does NMS not feel lonely enough? Pick blue. Do you like Euclid, but don't like finding stars other people have already named? Pick Teal... but to truly escape the community, your best bet is to go to Esseinteim instead, then rush towards galaxy centers until you hit galaxy 25 or so."

I will say I personally picked Eissentam becuase it has 4x greater chance than Euclid of spawning lush planets per system.

So what exactly is the Atlas? Is it a giant world building supercomputer left behind by a dead civilization?

crisp fern
feral scaffold
#

So it's a child with separation anxiety... GREAT

crisp fern
#

not sure i'd say child, buuut yeah, being with some issues

feral scaffold
#

So the creators just decided to travel to different universes?

#

And just told Atlas "You can handle all of this, kay bye."

crisp fern
#

Not sure about other universes, but it's more or less implied they went out into the universe

feral scaffold
#

Ah

#

But still ditched their creation

crisp fern
#

Yeah, like some wanted them to just shut the Atlas off, but they straight up asked Atlas, "yo wanna stay on?"

#

and like, who/what's gonna say no?

feral scaffold
#

I believe there was a lore where the entire game was just one giant simulation but then it was retconned

#

Oh right, the disaster launch

crisp fern
#

the whole sim thing is still basically accurate tbh

#

except everything's more or less a sim

#

the whole base/host reality thing is waaaay out there left up in the air

feral scaffold
#

I guess in a way it is. The ancient aliens from History Channel created Atlas for the sole purpose of experimenting in trying to create galaxies/worlds and then decided to just travel the stars and left their autistic child who has separation anxiety to their own devices.

#

What could go wrong?

crisp fern
#

i mean if that headcanon makes ya happy i guess

feral scaffold
#

So the lore is really up to the individual?

#

Basically Dark Souls?

crisp fern
#

Not exactly, it's more particular than Souls games at least

#

But when you get into the specifics of the Atlas and the nature of the setting, things get more fast & loose

#

Like the game puts a heavy emphasis on 16 and the last 16 minutes and system reset stuff, right? But once you recognize that the Atlas isn't the only simulator, that starts to break down a bit, and it only breaks down further once you get into what's up with the portals & overlapping simulations

glass flare
#

Atlas is basically obsessed with 16 because that's how many minutes it estimates it has left until the black hole which is devouring the star system the Atlas hardware is in will devour Atlas too.

My personal theory is that the corrupted star systems we see in-game are bad memory blocks in Atlas's hardware from all the radiation the black hole is spitting out

feral scaffold
#

So slowly the entire universe is going to have to deal with Atlas no longer being around.

crisp fern
#

I'd be just as inclined to say it's overlapping simulation data

#

Well, multiverse...Sort of

pallid stump
#

Speaking of the Atlas, I just stumbled across a Traveler's grave who apparently died because the Korvax (or a group of them) offered them to the Sentinels as "tribute" when they tried to hook themselves into the Convergence.

heady wyvern
#

There's the simulation terminal within the Anomaly, where you can optionally let Artemis wander, but that's technically still the Atlas' simulation

#

A simulation inside of the simulation. How intriguing.

#

We haven't seen it go deeper

#

However, it seems a little redundant to count out how many simulators exist in MMS when the entire game universe is the Atlas's simulation

#

The "Atlas" you see in-game is simply an avatar of the machine

#

Hmm

#

If I recall correctly, the current consensus is that the Atlas once ran multiple instances of the universe-simulation

#

Which, in all honesty, is likely just Sean Murray's saving throw against the fact that NMS didn't actually have multiplayer at launch, and didn't have full multiplayer until the NEXT update

#

The same narrative posits that the borders between these instances have began to degrade, as part of the Atlas's slow (from our perspective) death.

glass flare
#

I liked how the "turtles all the way down" aspect of nested Atlas simulations was tied into the first season of Waking Titan, as Elizabeth was trying to prove we live in a simulation

crisp fern
#

There are indications that the Korvax, Vy'keen, & Gek also had simulations going, and if memory serves I think the simulation in the Anomaly is one Nada took with them as they left the Convergence

#

There's also then suggestions that each of those races may be nothing more than creations of the Atlas, but then we also have various suggestions that the Atlas is a liar anyway, so...

wind panther
#

The boundary failures tell the story from the perspective of Telamon, the abandoned building terminals from at least one Traveller, the monoliths from their respective races, the Atlas stations from the Atlas. From whose perspective are the Remembrance terminals told? It almost seems like the Creator, but some of the entries post-date the exodus of the creator.

i appreciated the original story more, for what it was. it didn't try to tell you what things were or were not, that mystery was left to your own interpretation. the "it's just a simulation lol have fun" more than a year after release, when people already had their own head canons for the universe and their character's place in it, always rubbed me the wrong way

i also wasn't into the more "meta" feeling aspects like, "ohey we're in the same spot but we can't see each other what's happennninggg?"

even now there's a lot up for interpretation and its a bad thing for them

there's like so much good lore where you can make your own headcanons and it being more or less valid but nah just see the convos regarding it

glass flare
#

I don't think it was all a response to players wanting a very explicit, linear story, though that was some of it. I think Sean -- who grew up reading sci-fi novels -- saw this as an opportunity to hire a writer and do something to contribute to the sci-fi canon. They seemed genuinely excited about it. So I can't blame them for that, but I think an explicit story would have been better in some side medium like a novelization or comic book

||the atlas was slowly dying, and it tried resetting itself to get rid of whatever was making it glitch out. it resets the simulation, in 16 "real time" minutes (its not real time, you can take your time) now, when you reach the center of the galaxy, it "resets" the simulation. you keep all progress in the previous galaxy however. anyway, its trying to purge a bug in its system over and over again, but it fails. therefore, resetting the simulation saves the atlas.||

For the actual centre, yeah.

uncut harness
#

Ah rip lol

crisp fern
#

The story enables you to make a choice of galaxy to jump into though, and the game considers that identical to reaching the centre

uncut harness
#

Ah ok

crisp fern
#

However, reaching the actual centre operates differently, i.e. no choice, jumping galaxies in sequential order

uncut harness
#

Ah Nice

glass flare
#

the original game flow Sean talked about was to do just that -- to take people to the center, with the worlds becoming harder as you went further in. but they scrapped all that before release

shut vale
crisp fern
#

If I'm not mistaken, no, not anymore. Just requires making the choice to hop to another galaxy at the end of the Artemis Path

shut vale
#

What even is at the centre of the galaxy anyways

crisp fern
#

just a jumping off point to the next galaxy in a sequence

Wouldnโ€™t wanna jump into a supermassive blackhole now would we?

Hayyy

There are black holes in nms?

Yeah but theyโ€™re not really accurate to what real black holes would be like

steam's f12 bind works, but any other screenshot tool will not work because the game runs on exclusive fullscreen by default, you have to change it to borderless

Eh, Geks are still my favourite race

The first time I saw what they have done I was shocked as heck lol

tbh i wish the gek had a different backstory because they do look pretty cool

warm gorge

Yea me too

#

For me not only they look cool but also are cool

#

If you consider present Gek and not First Spawn

crisp fern

eh, i hate the whole space capitalist thing present gek have going on as well

I guess it's to support the pillars of the game?

Science, combat and selling stuff

I'm so curious to see what this year's update will have

It feels like this is the first year where we don't have a logical direction or any announced features

Oh this is spoilers not future

crisp fern

lol about to say

fathom nimbus
#

gek are ...

#

i mean they were so savegly destroying the korvax that the only recourse was to force them to change.

#

they only infected them TO MAKE IT STOP.

crisp fern
#

people forget that the gek were also destroying themselves

#

so really the korvax sorta saved the gek from themselves

#

Like if it was all accurate about the First Spawn, I imagine the Sentinels may have erased the gek entirely

warm gorge
#

Yea, some Geks in fact remember a bit of the First Spawn

#

I don't even need the full translation lol

#

Found one with better translation

#

Hey so lore wise what actually are the sentinels?

#

Cause like I remember something after finishing the story of them being like, protectors of the simulation right?

#

But I still really don't know what they are beyond space coppers

oblique remnant
#

Always sorta wondered how they just pop up out of the ground ๐Ÿค” the punks
Is their role basically to patrol their environment for anomalies and threats to the systems perceived status of perfection

uncut harness
#

all i know is that they are connected to the korvax in some way and use special portal tech, you sorta learn that in the story

I've been going off the half-joke theory that the World of Glass is actually the world viewed from under the terrain, where everything is like a one-way mirror. The sentinels are able to travel back and forth between the World of Glass, so them spawning from under the terrain kind of checks out lol

gloomy isle
rancid ether
#

...well, the terrain does give silicate powder lol

gloomy isle
#

I was thinking more along the lines of silicon chips

crisp fern
#

the Sentinels appearing from the ground is just a lingering glitch from the transition to Next and has no relation to the narrative imo

#

As to what they are, the Sentinels seem to be part of a monitoring protocol for the Atlas, to ensure the Atlas doesn't develop rampancy, but at some point, as the Atlas degraded, they found a way to isolate and limit this protocol, which has led to the Sentinels going overboard

And no A.P.P. to intercede with Telamon out of the way

@sacred solar @vague oriole You guys were talking about this?

#

Posting here as speculation

vague oriole
#

Idk if that was the one

#

As i said i didn't see it

#

Also if the override is just "haha rename after you've uploaded" I'll be pissed

#

Why would they tease that

sacred solar
#

thank you!

vague oriole
#

Wait

#

That's fake

#

Look at that

#

The whole ui is xbox

sacred solar
#

but then square

#

wtf

vague oriole
#

And that rename button is the playstation square

#

Yep that's a fake

sacred solar
#

well crap, sorry for the wild goose chase

uncut harness
#

Could be just a placeholder icon

sacred solar
#

๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

vague oriole
#

Supposedly it was discovered by ps users right?

#

That doesn't explain why all the ui is xbox

#

I usually don't 100% believe any leaks but i mostly keep an eye out for anything that might resemble stuff like that

glass flare
#

Yeah seems super fake

vague oriole
#

Yea i just can't believe that lmao

#

I thought there was a chance that streamer on twitter might have been right

#

Turned out wrong

#

But that makes no sense

#

Does the xbox version even have those ps assets

uncut harness
#

If you connect an Xbox controller to your PC it shows Xbox icons in the game

#

Dunno about PS controllers

rancid ether
#

it shows PS button layout last i checked

rancid ether
# vague oriole Yea i just can't believe that lmao

The player who posted the screenshot is on XB at the least, and Gamepass from what I would assume (UI screenshot possible on XB console? I guess you could snap it from a screen capture).
The difficult part is that the UI showing something that is either obsolete or not supposed to be there at all is not unheard of with this game.
I can give you an example where you can find pre-release icons for some elements in the current release of the game.
In fact, the only thing that makes me question it is the bold lining around the Square button icon. I'm not familiar with the PS ui to know if that's the typical size. I would not be surprised at all if other platform icons are available in all versions of the game files.

uncut harness
#

And that big icon behind that

rancid ether
#

But speaking from a photo editing perspective, I don't think it was shopped.
There would be obvious discoloration in the background.

uncut harness
#

Isn't that the icon for this ambient mode thingy?

#

The one used to showcase the planet generation?

vague oriole
#

I'm pretty sure that's how the ps icons look

rancid ether
#

Uh...maybe, i cant recall. HG totally reuses icons a lot too, so that would just add more to the "not fake, but bugged" theory

vague oriole
#

What about the names tho

#

The materials

glass flare
#

I don't think they would use a huge icon like that, that don't match the other ones. the whole thing just feels off to me

rancid ether
#

The names sound like something they would have came up with in 2016

uncut harness
#

Yup

#

#bringbackthamium9

rancid ether
#

If i had to guess, its a scrapped idea and they left the files in, then the players ui bugged out

vague oriole
#

It looks way too off for me to believe that

glass flare
#

yeah and they wouldn't show a recipe on main UI like that

rancid ether
#

btw, thats not the only screenshot of this phenomenon

#

someone had it happen to them about a week ago

vague oriole
#

Same system

uncut harness
#

And the reddit post is 3 months old

vague oriole
#

Pre-override

#

We can prolly just rule out the possibility of this being the override

crisp fern
#

seems like a lil' glitch

rancid ether
# vague oriole Same system

i dont think its the override, it looks definitely like a bug that shows the same bugged system for some reason

vague oriole
#

Could be some scrapped feature showing

rancid ether
#

notice that in both screenshots, the system they are pointing to doesn't have the same name as the bugged system

uncut harness
#

I think if it was the override, it would be applied in the station core

#

Not from the Discovery menu

#

But then again, uncharted and abandoned systems are a thing

#

And if player decides to rename those

rancid ether
#

Google tells me that Ferdrium has come up before with other UI bugs in the past (around 2017, along with the pre-release uranium icons).
I'm calling this one not fake but definitely a bug.

uncut harness
#

Could be, there's still some some strings in the game that aren't used anywhere else

#

Like RESPOND POSITEVELY TO THE STRANGERS MESSAGE RESPOND POSITEVELY TO THE STRANGERS MESSAGE RESPOND POSITEVELY TO THE STRANGERS MESSAGE RESPOND POSITEVELY TO THE STRANGERS MESSAGE

rancid ether

That appears to happen if you talk with the pilot right when theyre about to leave, and especially if youre in multiplayer and not the host

dusk sorrel
# vague oriole Yep that's a fake

It's 100% not "fake", I've seen this happen on a live stream in the past and a few trusted people in the community have seen it happen to them too. It's an icon/ visual glitch.... but definitely not "fake" ๐Ÿ˜…

Found a traveler in an outpost and told me, โ€œThe creature.. it spoke to me, it saw me. Even in the space between worlds.โ€ I assume itโ€™s talking about the Anomaly?

icy citrus
#

The Abyss

glass flare
#

the anomaly is also a space between worlds though, to hide from the Sentinels

icy citrus
#

It isnt a creature though

glass flare
#

Correct, but it was saying even in that space, it saw me. As in, the creature was not from there but was able to see them regardless

#

โ€œI read the manuscript. It appears to show a mathematical proof that the concept of goodness does not existโ€. Cheery

icy citrus
#

But a Traveller would know what Korvax and Gek are. So would they refer to them just as the creature?

#

To me it sounds like they have no idea what it was

#

That is my interpretation anyways - which would also exclude the Atlas

glass flare
#

My interpretation is something from the abyss saw and talked to them while they were in the anomaly

icy citrus
#

Ahhh I see

#

I thought you meant the anomaly was doing the talking, my fault

glass flare
#

Hah yeah no worries the whole thing is vague

icy citrus
#

For sure, and my tendency is always going to be The Abyss - I really want a new force active -doesn't have to be evil or anything, just different

glass flare
#

Something seems to be trying to infiltrate the anomaly from the Abyss, what with the imposter NPCs so thatโ€™s why my brain went there

icy citrus
#

I agree

#

And we know it is mentioned as being able to subvert anyone to its cause, even the most loyal

crisp fern
#

my reflex was to go with Telamon somehow taking on an appearance between worlds

icy citrus
#

For my interpretation the keyword is creature. To me that implies something we haven't seen yet. And that doesn't resemble or sound like travellers or anything else encountered thus far
