Did you save in that previous expedition after loading it today?

[tulip magnet]

Phase five has station override

[empty cedar]

Milestones & Rewards for Expedition Three: Cartographers
(Open original image for better readability)

[mental socket]

I went to station and tested

Counterfeit code, access denied. Then it removed the thing from my inventory

aaand there is no way to get a new one because it was a reward from completion a task

[uncut harness]

What is this thing about someone datamining sentinels getting grenades

[mighty rampart]

Would be funny if that reward was a bug

"base computer plans"? Woah nice it doesn't let you immediately learn that

Though imagine the thousands of bases on one planet

Wow the space station override is really just for expedition content

That sucks

[uncut harness]

Anyone seen what it do yet?

[mighty rampart]

Judging from the next mission in phase 5, gonna guess it'll just unlock the ability for you to use the hyperdrive

[uncut harness]

🤔

I wonder what we got coming then. There's no way that's all it does.

[mighty rampart]

Autodiagnostics 5 is about restoring your warp capabilities, which rewards the override

Then you're supposed to warp to a new system

There's a step missing here if the override had a different use, and note that it's not a phase reward so you won't get it on other saves

[uncut harness]

Ah, Oh, Yeah.

Hmmmm.

[fierce harness]

Rip

[uncut harness]

Seems really odd to have it sitting there and not be a main game feature.

[mighty rampart]

@mental socket how did you get the override so early?

It's listed as a phase 5 milestone reward

You only did the first two phases

[lone solar]

oh cool... apparently you lose the station override if you use it and it fails

[lone solar]

you can do them in whatever order you want

[lone solar]

seriously though that's just BS

[mental socket]

like so

[supple crater]

How the fu--

[spice gorge]

Am I supposed to have the blueprints for a Base Construction Computer at the start of Expedition 3? That's a goal, but I don't have the bp.

[mental socket]

I've nearly completed it

already at last rendezvous

[fierce harness]

So it’s pretty easy then?

[lone solar]

I need 1k minerals and a planetary outpost

[mental socket]

PS5 btw

[lone solar]

yes

[mental socket]

Same here. That's the last one

[fierce harness]

Comfy

[lone solar]

planetary outpost is just a trading post?

[fierce harness]

I want my biological horror pet

[mental socket]

too bad station override did nothing

[glass flare]

wtf didn't the expedition just drop like an hour ago?

are you hackin the matrix Azure

[lone solar]

the goals are not that hard

[mental socket]

ye

[lone solar]

as I said I have 2 more left

[mental socket]

ez when you're a veteran player

I just immediately suck all the content that they drip feed us

[lone solar]

how did you get the outpost one?

[mental socket]

minotaur scanner

it has an option to scan for outpost

[lone solar]

ohh. okay thanks

[glass flare]

hm well if your override is legit then it sounds like you should report that to HG, i doubt it's supposed to not work and eat your item

[supple hollow]

Mine is an hour away so I haven’t bothered yet

[mighty rampart]

Oh you managed to get the resources fast, interesting

[mental socket]

getting to the outpost was a big help

[mighty rampart]

Oh so even if you didn't get to use the override it wasn't useful for any other milestones

Interesting...

Maybe it was an unintended reward

Definitely report to HG then

[lone solar]

yeah idk why they gave it to us

[supple hollow]

i might just start the journey to the outpost

i’ll make a teleporter there

[mental socket]

Reported it

[supple crater]

And phase 2

[vague oriole]

WAIT THE OVERRIDE IS IN THIS?

[mental socket]

could also be that they didn't think anyone would get to it so fast

[lone solar]

well, I wouldn't launch the expedition if not everything is ready

[mental socket]

or a leftover from the rumored season which was supposed to happen 2 months ago. These systems are discovered by HG from back then

[vague oriole]

Nah that was prolly this one

And they wanted it to be out with frontiers

[mental socket]

still confused if the override is supposed to be there for real

[mighty rampart]

Doesn't seem like it has a use in this expedition

[tame shell]

how do i even get gold in the expedition

[mighty rampart]

Maybe the override was supposed to have a general use that didn't make it to the game in time

[glass flare]

i would think it's a huge oversight on their part if it wasn't supposed to be in

[lone solar]

I got 300 at some point

[vague oriole]

Very wierd

I haven't played it yet

[tame shell]

ah nice, i found where

||Phase 2 Mission 4||

[lone solar]

question is.. what do you do if you accidentally delete it

[mental socket]

reload previous save

doesn't matter if you do, the station will just eat it and do nothing

[vague oriole]

Great

Thanks hg, very cool

[lone solar]

hmm maybe it only works in systems you discovered?

[vague oriole]

They prolly just wanted to put a random useless item in

[lone solar]

maybe, but they definitely didn't want the item to be deleted

[supple crater]

How the feth did you

catalogue all these minerals Azure

tell me your secrets

[lone solar]

caves, underwater, mountainous area

[supple crater]

Actually

[supple crater]

I've catalogued more than 5

and it's stuck at 5

outstanding

[lone solar]

you got all of these?

[mental socket]

I went to other planets. Couldn't find all on the starting one

[lone solar]

wait that works?

[mental socket]

yup

[lone solar]

I thought you had to do all on one planet

[mental socket]

nope

[lone solar]

I even found 19 lol

[supple crater]

Yea I didn't

think about that

But I need this for the magnetic resonator tho

[supple hollow]

The settlement is 11 hours away

What can I even do

[neon sentinel]

I doubt it's there by mistake. If it is we re gonna see it patched. Being deleted doesnt sound normal though. What i think is it's a teaser for the end of the expedition. Maybe a following update. It's something you can craft probably that's why its not a phase reward. After the supposed update players will be able to craft it and expeditioners will have it ready. At least thats what i think

[supple hollow]

I can’t even find an outpost using my mech scanner

[severe spoke]

anyone got a screenshot of the globemaster yet?

[fringe notch]

Man, this is a easy expedition

I should have it done tonight

[prime inlet]

construction research unit had it all right

industrial, etc

pretty much every space anomaly tree

right?

went to the space station

came back down

construction research unit is back to normal

only core habitation tech and timber/alloy/stone parts

i didn't unlock the supply depot.

got no way to summon the space anomaly

any ideas?

was just talking to someone, and their construction research unit never had any of this

or this

[vague oriole]

Wierd

[prime inlet]

i unlocked the minotaur's geobay here, for example

[neon sentinel]

And also makes sense not to be a Phase reward if you think about it. If it would be that would mean that whoever did not do the expedition could not access the new feature.

[gloomy isle]

UMMM

I started underwater

[prime inlet]

@empty cedar scroll up

Check your CRU

Do you see the anomaly trees?

Or just the regular cru ones

[supple hollow]

I need to visit an outpost but I can’t as it’s eleven hours away, what should I do?

[prime inlet]

I got an exocraft

Though at that time, you can probably fly your ship

No, nevermind

[supple hollow]

I can’t as I need to fix the pressurisation capsule 😅

[prime inlet]

Yeah, I usedroamer to get to the trading post

[supple hollow]

How far?

[prime inlet]

11min on foot, about 4m drive

[empty cedar]

Oh I saw the CRU info here, just wondering if everyone has experienced the Minotaur/Pilgrim thing.

[prime inlet]

I got the mino via CRU, and pilgrim through spaceport alpha

[empty cedar]

Ok, will just unlock it manually, thx

[supple hollow]

And I had to go 30 minutes away for bones

[prime inlet]

Fitz

[supple hollow]

Not very lucky am I 😆

[empty cedar]

Almost made it to the Exp 3 native yellow squid

[prime inlet]

When I went to the spade station, my CRU reverted to being normal

Just a heads up

Going to report it as a bug; submitted

[spark ice]

what are the exp3 rewards?

[heavy glacier]

so dumb that the station override does nothing

[subtle gorge]

Wait we know it does nothing?

[uncut harness]

At the minute it does nothing.

[heavy glacier]

it does the same thing it did before when some people save edited

if its meant to do nothing only temporarily then its bad that it gets removed upon use

[mental socket]

what is CRU

[prime inlet]

construction research unit

[jovial violet]

so the expedition rewards you with a station override core for one of the milestones

i assume we're gonna get something with it soon, they can't tease this forever, surely 🥲

[mental socket]

Yeah. People have checked it, including me. It does nothing at all

The station consumes it away from your inv, says that it's counterfeit code and gives no access

[jovial violet]

yeah, i figured it might, held onto mine knowing there wasn't gonna be anything to use it for

[heavy glacier]

the most recent patch removed it as a reward

[jovial violet]

the bubblepack is real cute, i wish the trail was longer, though

[stuck hinge]

wtf, HG really teasing the hell out of this station core…

[jovial violet]

it better be worth!

[glass flare]

Very Soon™

[neon sentinel]

Really? 3.64 or 3.64.1?

[heavy glacier]

whatever the one like 20 minutes ago is

probably 3.64.1

[glass flare]

wow

[neon sentinel]

So that probably means the earliest theory was correct. It was there by mistake. Probably for Frontiers but the feature didnt make it

[heavy glacier]

i was hoping it was a tease even though it was annoying

[glass flare]

well my only reason to do the expedition is gone lol

[heavy glacier]

the pet is cool but yeah thats the only interesting reward now

[neon sentinel]

Well, technically it was a tease. An unintentional one. Probably the rumors that saw the expedition being delayed after Frontiers were true. And that was a feature that didnt make it to Frontiers. But forgot to scrap the override. Thats the most probably scenario i can think of

[cloud epoch]

clearly an oversight by the overseers

[dense phoenix]

I was about mid way in phase 3 when my game crashed after i jumped off the mountain to get both the Hills Have Eyes and the "30 second airtime" rewards together
Lost about an hour
At least i still have a lot of time to do the expedition

[neon sentinel]

The station override is still there actually. And i have the latest version

[fierce harness]

can rocketman still be cheesed with the chair method

[glass flare]

the expedition item? odd

[fierce harness]

yeah i just got it too

[mental socket]

does it function with the latest hotfix/internal?

or still borken

[compact coyote]

LMAOOO MY SHIP IS DAMAGED AND IM LITERALLY FLYING IT

HOW 😂😂😂

[fierce harness]

havent tested yet, still on the ground

[heady wyvern]

I just did it by finding a huge spire and jetpacking up

[gloomy isle]

Maybe in a few months we'll get a space station update

If something station related didn't make it into frontiers

[static abyss]

When the new expeditions ship is started, it report an error in the iteration number... is the atlas finally shutting down?

[icy citrus]

Still*

[hexed shell]

According to lore, it is literally an eternity. Probably not

[static abyss]

It still is an interesting detail to note. Maybe more on it soon?

[wintry gyro]

Yo im guessing yall have heard this alot today

So whats the fastest way to get a magnetic resonator without traveling 3 hours

[gloomy isle]

It's not really an eternity. It's an indeterminate time. It could be anywhere between a year or two and an eternity

[hexed shell]

Well, to be precise - yeah

[glass flare]

definitely not a literal eternity since there is a fixed period from when Atlas hardware was set up to run its simulation, and then whatever long span of time until "present". though to Atlas it probably feels like an eternity, though I'm not sure it's aware of the time distortion due to the proximity of the black hole

the black hole is ever-consuming, and Atlas's destruction is assured at some fixed point in the future

[static abyss]

The time dilation is an interesting detail to note

[fierce harness]

just gotta get the minerals and im done with this exp

[mental socket]

@wind panther Have you seen anything related to the space station override? We get it in the expedition but it's still a counterfeit code

[wind panther]

Nope, nothing new in the files as far as I know. Haven't really had time to look though, until later today

[modest rose]

Is there any big effect between letting Artemis live or ending her suffering?

[misty loom]

What does the space station override thing they give us as an Expedition reward do? Should I save it for after I warp to a better system?

[mental socket]

Does nothing

Maybe worth saving until the end of expedition tho

they might patch in functionality at the end of it

[green burrow]

well I scanned the game memory some time ago when we found out about the station key. And there is text in there that it implies that the station core will be damaged at some point

[mental socket]

could you paste the text strings here?

[green burrow]

hang on

[misty loom]

Maybe it's just a teaser for the new mechanic? The dialogue said it was counterfeit hehe

[mental socket]

But that's the old dialogue they left us there with Prisms

for modders who would save edit the override in

[misty loom]

But now i have a thing in my inventory

[green burrow]

here it is

its starts with what we can trigger in game atm, station core says its a fake code

then there is a "corrupted station core"

[misty loom]

Oh, no I don't. It ate the thing but still did nothing.

[green burrow]

it says:
Corrupt Station controller
Repair Core
CANNOT COMPLETE REPAIR

and then something about station override

[misty loom]

It didn't say corrupted. It said counterfiet then removed the reward thing from my inventory. I reloaded though so I still have it.

Idk if that's different.

[green burrow]

its corrupted for some reason those strings are "corrupted" i just found a better version in memory

here

[green burrow]

Oh I mean it is not the key that is corrupted , it is a "Corrupt Station Controller" that dishes out that dialog

bleh I am sorry again its a Damaged Station Core that dishes out the dialog and one of the sentences it says is Corrupt Station Controller

it's late here and I just finish the expedition

[misty loom]

Oh, ok.

[green burrow]

and this is the part of the memory where the games reads from, if I edit what the station core says there it shows in game

so it is the middle of a bunch of loaded strings , in memory, that it reads from

[cloud epoch]

i can get the text lines in a sec

[compact coyote]

So the station eye really does nothing huh. 😦

[cloud epoch]

      <Property name="Id" value="UI_SPACE_STATION_CORE_NAME" />

mildly messy lol

[green burrow]

yup

if there is a way to trigger it would take quite a while to find out how, at least with the tools I have

[cloud epoch]

i was comparing the string files between 3.61 and 3.64 to see if anything juicy had been added. only thing of interest was a popup for read-only saves lol

[green burrow]

I was thinking that by the end of the expedition something would happen and we would be able to hijack the station lol

But it seems that this one was about the companion egg

[spice gorge]

At what point do you get the Quantum Computer bp in expedition 3?

[raw schooner]

iirc you get it by scanning all the animals

[misty loom]

Phase 2 for building 3 solar panels

[raw schooner]

yep i was very not correct

[heady wyvern]

I just quickly ran three bio-reactors

[misty loom]

I just happened to be looking at the screen

[misty loom]

That's probably cheaper

[heady wyvern]

I don't understand how you got all the gold for the panels

[raw schooner]

i got all my gold from another reward

[misty loom]

It was a reward from something. Jinx!

Tunnel 1000u

[raw schooner]

i did all the quests in terms of easiness rather than in order

and now im waiting 2 hours for the mineral extraction quest ._.

[misty loom]

Same

I went and claimed my vector ship for better inventory space. Is there any reason I should keep the red guppy or can I scrap it?

[glass flare]

other than nostalgia, no

[misty loom]

meh

[empty meadow]

Sheesh....cobalt was a pain to find...

[misty loom]

The guppy has better hyperdrive range but I can upgrade this one. What are the new ship parts about though? Just for this Expedition or...?

[misty loom]

Caves?

[raw schooner]

i know the pain, took me 30 minutes to find a cave

and the first only had 2 rocks in it

[empty meadow]

Caves were a pain to find...

lmao

[raw schooner]

luckily the second was like a minute away

[misty loom]

My starting point was next to a big cave with everything and an archive.

[raw schooner]

bro i spawned on an island

i was just given hard mode

[modest rose]

If I go through my first portal that I found will it mess that mission up? Or will Apollo go to the end of where ever that one is

[tulip dirge]

In the expedition I found a shop terminal in the middle of nowhere am I lucky?

[mental socket]

Which type of saves would those be then?

[green burrow]

back ups probably

[reef urchin]

Ohh... corrupted/abandoned stations have been in the game for a while. Maybe we can use the override to restore them to functionality?

[empty meadow]

Cant quite seem to figure out rocketman....

Anyone?

Ive tried shooting straight up with a boost plant. Ive tried jumping off the tallest mountain..no go

[fierce harness]

if you rocket up the side of a spire you can get infinite jetpack fuel

thats how i did it

you just have to make sure you're at the right distance; not too far or you burn fuel and not too close cause if you bump you restart the counter

[grand sparrow]

I tried twice, but I guess the spire I chose wasn't high enough, or I couldn't get far enough away from the base of it, I got like 25 sec twice

I'm currently "stuck" on "The Navigator" milestone. Trying to find 4 waypoints. I've somehow found 2, but don't know what they were, and for the life of me I can't figure out what I need to be looking for. I thought it was the beacons, but those don't seem to be it.

[cold panther]

i think it goes by the save location things you activate at various locations (they spin around and give you a nav data these days)

[grand sparrow]

maybe, thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can find any of them.

also I'm struggling to find the last 2 of the minerals, looked in water, looked in caves, looked outside. no joy

[cold panther]

i was stuck on 17/18 until i left the planet and scanned one elsewhere 🙂

[grand sparrow]

how did you repair the ship w/o the Magnetic Resonator plans?

for the pulse engine

[cold panther]

turned in a milestone that gave the factory overrides and found a manufacturing facility

ah yes the 4 waypoint one will give 6 factory overrides

[empty meadow]

👆 @grand sparrow It is this. I just completed this one a bit ago.

[grand sparrow]

yep, I just stumbled upon a factory that had one outside, and now I'm up to 3. Thanks folks

[empty meadow]

Ill have to give that a go.

[grand sparrow]

also guessed the right response and got a free tech choice, got the resonator (woohoo)

[fierce harness]

It’s finicky but it works

[hybrid pendant]

have we find a way to make the station override works?

[glass flare]

nope. seems like it was a mistake

[sand karma]

Wait so they don't work? Cuz I saw someone on Twitter 'spoiling' what they did, but wasn't sure if it was legit.

[neon sentinel]

I doubt its a mistake. They would patch it and remove it if it was a leftover. Its definetely a teaser for something after the expedition. They did the same with the void eggs. You couldnt do anything with them and adter a while we had the LS update

[hybrid pendant]

or maybe they forgot to add its functionality ?

[neon sentinel]

No way. They are not amateurs. If it was a mistake of any short would already be patched

[hybrid pendant]

hmm

would be weird for them to give it for us to use it and fucking loose it

its kinda dumb

[neon sentinel]

You lose it because its a decoy. As far as i understood it's meant to go away

Probably they have plans after the expedition which isn't a surpise

We will know soon! 🚀

[sullen hornet]

I feel like this station override thing is gonna be big

Omg I'm just realizing this planet is becoming the most populated planet in the game. Combined with the new base building..

A city planet

There's a city forming around my ship

Like 15 bases

[sand karma]

Someone twitter said something about the station override ||allowing them to move the space station closer to a planet||. I guess that was just them trying to be interesting then? 😛

[sullen hornet]

Huh interesting

[neon sentinel]

Do they have proof? I dont see a point to it 🤔

Oh i found out that not all that used it, dissapeared. Some have it still in their inv

But still says its counterfeit

[sand karma]

They didn't provide any proof, which is why I figured it might be fake

But I'm also nowhere near far enough in the expedition to check myself

If that's true then I guess something ought to pop up in like quick acccess menu at least

Anomaly style

[neon sentinel]

Same! My base is being intersected by at least three more at the same place. We all have building rights for the same area lol. Thought this was supposed to be impossible. I think it bugged cause we deployed the base computers in a very close time interval

[sand karma]

Or people going offline to create a base yeah 😄

I think this is showing that NMS planets are too small for this kinda expedition 😛

[neon sentinel]

If they are offline, why does yhe system allows them to upload their base online if there is a base there already?

[neon sentinel]

True haha. Gista Major will become a metropolis soon lol

[sand karma]

Because the game can't compensate for what to do when players go online and already have a base build I think 😛

This is also why we will never own space stations

The engine would explode when having to factor in offline players

[neon sentinel]

Makes sense

[neon sentinel]

Unless if they figure something else to solve this situation

Maybe making it an online only feature or idk

[sand karma]

Online only would be about the only viable solution at this point I think, but it would also be received worse than the timers 😛

[crisp fern]

btw kinda veering from #nms-spoilers, for future ideas want #nms-the-future and for general expedition convo want #no-mans-sky

[sand karma]

Fair :3

[neon sentinel]

You re right

[hybrid pendant]

kinda sad they didnt make the space station core activated on expedition 3 it would have made it sooo much special

[meager stag]

Hey so, without spoiling what it does, is the station override interesting at all? Y/N

[uncut harness]

Unknown, we don't know what it does.

[green burrow]

I think it's a teaser for something to come, the item and interaction has been in game since the Prism update

but only now we actually managed to get the item in the game, without some sort of hackery

[ancient wolf]

Is there really no better way in the expedition than walking 22 hours to the nearest factory?

I need herox

[novel torrent]

It sounds bad if you say it out loud

[icy citrus]

Do the things needed for a large refiner and then refine it

Also this is for #nms-spoilers , #nms-questions or #no-mans-sky for general convo or questions

[ancient wolf]

Wasn't sure given the expedition is new new

[icy citrus]

No worries, that's why i answered and then redirected

[mortal heath]

@ancient wolf I found a bunch of floating crystals so I didn't have to walk like that.

[meager stag]

But we get it from the expedition right? The override.

[mortal heath]

Has anyone had a Settlement Entity Gad try to join their settlement. They're a Specialist Psionicist. says it'll Remove Target by Thieves negative but, for +12,882/day to the debt?

[mental socket]

Nope. The NPCs joining are completely random

[mortal heath]

Just wondered. Most of the things I've added to my settlement other's have mentioned adding theirselves. Didn't know if this was the same.

[misty loom]

Has anyone claimed and placed the Expedition rewards on their other saves? Is it my imagination or are the mushrooms and flowers very bright white? They're not showing color like their icons.

[stuck rose]

just go to the quicksilver dude at the anomaly

i got a question here. Can I just do the atlas path without doing any single mission in artemis path?

[misty loom]

I did. And when I placed them they are white, very washed out, not colorful like the icon.

[stuck rose]

hmm gotta check it by myself later

[supple crater]

Baited.

[tame shell]

F

[green burrow]

yes , the only other way to get it before was altering save files or the game memory

[icy citrus]

Maybe you picked the wrong station

Now you have to roam the universe searching for the right one

[green burrow]

you can try that yeah

[hybrid pendant]

dont give people hope

[icy citrus]

Hope is the greatest gift

Yw

[stuck hinge]

If the override did anything it would of been dataminded already

[hybrid pendant]

[last forum]

Erhm, not sure where to ask this but,
Anyone knows the name of the soundtrack that plays when you're on 16/16 main mission?
The one where it's revealed the world is going to end. No luck finding it so far...

[green burrow]

there is a bunch of strings in the game that implie that the station core will be damaged and we will get to use the override on it

but we don't know how that happens or if it is even possible to trigger yet

[wanton path]

wtf? can't deploy mech

[heady wyvern]

@wanton path Try a bit uphill

[meager stag]

So the override thing must be pretty big since it's such a tease after this expedition.

Station override I mean

[green burrow]

Btw has anyone tried searching the files for AI Master Key ?

[harsh rock]

So, the station override I got from the expedition, is there a way to get it to my main save?

Nevermind, just read up :/

[mighty rampart]

Still doubt that it has a big use since it randomly awarded you that, and if it does then it's definitely not related to space station customization as all players got to the main system's space station

[dim scarab]

Letting players or factions own a solar system could be interesting

[mighty rampart]

"your system is being attacked! Deploy anti-pirate remodelled sentinel ships?"
"Accepted. Pirates will be taken care of in 72 hours"

[harsh rock]

Im gonna leave it unused on my expeditions save in case I need it for something later.

It could be to override the economy or conflict level of a system

[last forum]

Lol, but nah. There could be a squad in standby and missions are random but spaced by some hours. Good team assigned? Good. No team/bad team? Damages and penalties

[cursive kernel]

Didn't the one sentinel that allows us to cheat death have a name

[sweet quiver]

someone might have made a base there and you cant build in other people's bases so try going a bit further away.

[chrome eagle]

Just Finished

[glass flare]

the corrupted player iteration when starting up the expedition ship is really curious

[mint crypt]

[halcyon pebble]

What does the pet look like?

[indigo night]

whats the reward ?

[chrome eagle]

Biological Horror companion pet egg, and stuff for each stage

[indigo night]

ah thanks .. my will be finished in 6 hours 😉

[tardy cliff]

once i get to the center but i refuse atlas am i able to go to other galaxies still?

if not, how do i get back to the center to progress to the next one?

[unreal flume]

How big can u get the monstrosity?

And is it recolorable?

@tardy cliff yes u are and just have a base in each galaxy u can teleport back to at any station or teleporter

At least i was with help, my friend got me to galaxy 10

Home in 10, farms in Euclid

[lost valley]

wait what.. the expedition is already over?

[heady wyvern]

Restart game, known server issue.

[lost valley]

did that a couple of times.. will try again tomorrow

[empty meadow]

I've done it!

[supple crater]

~kzzt~

[cursive kernel]

When you hatch the monstrosity is it red like the derelict babies

Important question

[supple crater]

No.

[green burrow]

I think its gonna be like this:
Station Core gets damaged , we use our override on it, and now we have access to stuff that we didn't before , so not really owning the system or station, but being able to do something like improve the system economy and getting something out of that. Maybe even policing the system too. But we won't become owners or anything of the sort.

[supple crater]

This is more of a #nms-the-future discussion.

[coarse roost]

When you meet the Atlas, do any of those choices matter? I figured it was the Traveller Gestalt/Singularity and merged

[misty loom]

The new mushrooms and flowers are desaturated

(older shrooms on the left)

[mental socket]

I don't remember what it said. Just spammed through it out of habit without knowing there was additional story to it

What was the dialogue?

[glass flare]

I don't remember exactly, but when you climb in for the first time it said something like, Traveller iteration #FFFFFFFF<DATA ERROR> etc.

I've never done an expedition before so I don't know if that's the same as previous ones, but normal games always have a specific iteration value

[frigid canyon]

Hey guys this is my first expedition too. I'm almost done with Phase 4.
Is the Final Phase already unlocked or will we have to wait until Hello Games unlock it?

I saw on twitter an image of the final phase and it said something related to the Station Core, so I'm wondering if the Bio Horror companion is the only final reward or there's something they're keeping in secret until (almost) everyone has completed every phase.

[heady wyvern]

All phases are made available at the start, and don't even have to be completed in order.

[vestal ledge]

finished mine in under 1 hrs. Was pretty poggers.

[dire ocean]

sO, Wwith the starting planet being full of minotaur bays, how is a player supposed to get the Herox to launch ship?

even with MP turned off, I cannot place down any exocraft bays.

[vestal ledge]

how very interesting

eats up your item too

[vestal ledge]

You can create Herox in a large refiner by combining ammonia, silver, and ionised cobalt together, about 30 of each

[dire ocean]

even without the recipe? hmm that's just salvage data framing...

[crimson iris]

someone made a base on a living ship spawn, what happens?

the crash site is gone its just a base

:(

[crisp fern]

try reporting the base?

[crimson iris]

is did

it disappeared

but no crash site

should i reload?

[crisp fern]

about to say, yeah, try that next

[crimson iris]

i'll check

nothing on the site

save beacon also disappeared

bruh it was a metallic black and purple ship too :(

are there any reports of living ship spawns being in different locations in this update or past updates from at most 7 months ago?

[crisp fern]

Dunno personally, but you'll probably get a response sooner over in #nms-questions on that & i don't think that really breaks spoiler-rules since it's a simple gameplay question

[crimson iris]

lmao i thought im in that channel

xd

that was a mistake on my part, sorry for the inconvinience

[crisp fern]

no worries, thought you were playing it safe by asking here 😂

[thorn token]

Is that finally how we can use our physical atlas pass v4 ? Would be great

[toxic mural]

I’ve had issues I couldn’t find any they said where they were

[crimson iris]

i found mine

[toxic mural]

:/

Lol

Whateves

[crimson iris]

it was on other places with the comms

of other players

[toxic mural]

Ahhhh that’s annoying

[crimson iris]

there was no save beacon so i had to reference the video

[toxic mural]

Ah weird

[crimson iris]

i reset my mission nearby the crash site

like

400u

it appeared

[toxic mural]

Noted

No ship was there?

[crimson iris]

there was a crashed ship

before reset

[toxic mural]

Ah okay

[crimson iris]

turned into living ship

[toxic mural]

My issue was there were no ships at all

[crimson iris]

living ship spawns override crashed ship

[toxic mural]

People built bases on all the popular codes

That I liked

[crimson iris]

i reported mine

[toxic mural]

Notes

Noted

[crimson iris]

loaded the autosave

went back to the portal

[toxic mural]

And that removed their base?

[crimson iris]

and did another manual save

[crimson iris]

reloading an auto save that was saved after reporting did

[toxic mural]

Sick

[crimson iris]

so i went in and out of my ship after reporting and reloaded

[toxic mural]

Looks like I have plans for tomorrow then

[crimson iris]

then went back to my portal planet, manual save, went back to coords

note that all this is done while mission was in a far system

so i can reset it

[toxic mural]

Huh

Thanks

[crimson iris]

np and goodluck on your ship

if its popular there should be some comms from different players in the location

if theres no save beacon

[rich mesa]

I have a question regarding Expedition mission deploy the minotaur

I had to buy the bp

The traveller named that Sentinel, Laylaps

[mighty rampart]

https://redd.it/plbjmz

@Modders, any of this true?

I do remember the base blueprint stuff

And the water files

[cloud epoch]

i think it's an extremely optimistic take on what has been found. not saying the poster is wrong, just i wouldnt personally get my hopes up like that

[mighty rampart]

Of course, I just mean the content they found

I thought most of it was already before frontiers

[cloud epoch]

i havent looked at it personally but it's been mentioned a fair few times in the modding discord, so definitely seems new with frontiers. esp the dynamic asset stuff

[mighty rampart]

Ooh ok thanks!

[cloud epoch]

water im not sure on. i did see argh mention the nebula dont reflect now, so its probably about time it got an overhaul from HG

[mental socket]

Well water has been broken since next so it would be a good time to finally rework or fix it

[glass flare]

that reddit poster claims that they are working on water "visually and mechanically" ...what kind of mechanic changes are they doing with water?

[cloud epoch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they're on here, Toto#8177
at them and ask for more deets idk lol

but making a big deal out of omg 100,000 files changed when like 80% of that was just shaders being recompiled is kinda lols to me

[rustic vortex]

whats the reward for expeditions?

[neon sentinel]

Id love to know more. By the way, what does he mean by saying "procedural assets"? Can assets themselves be procedural? Thought the proc gen was in the randomization of the mix of the hand made assets. Does he mean now that will change and assets themselves will be procedural somehow?

Maybe they invented a system where essentially they feed the logic with certain assets and taken from these already in the game can make new procedural ones, and then new ones based on the new ones etc. (Just throwing random thoughts at this point)

[mighty rampart]

They probably interpreted it to an exaggerating degree, to me it just sounds like they released more of the flora constraints than before

And also how they're procedurally placed being more dynamic

[neon sentinel]

Yeah, possibly. Nevertheless, exciting and promising changes. We will see if they become real in the future

[icy citrus]

Ask the OP

[frigid canyon]

💚

[shell pawn]

Is there anything new related to the 'unusual' tech in the exp ship?

[stone oyster]

So what's the deal with the space station override? Apparently it's been in game for a few months now but isn't active?

[jovial violet]

we will know what it all means... soon ™️

[stone oyster]

Do you know how soon? Like end of expedition kinda time?

[green burrow]

there is a 2gb update coming , so maybe when that hits

[jovial violet]

unfortunately not. best guess is whenever the next named update drops, or perhaps expedition 4 if they go quickly into that after 3 wraps up, but these are all guesses

believe no one when they say it'll definitely be revealed during a definitive moment or time. nobody knows! and that's fun

[shell pawn]

No one knows yet

[stone oyster]

Thankyou for the info

[onyx crow]

When I get the station overide, can I get it on my other saves?

[stone oyster]

No, that save only

[warm gorge]

Is the glitch that does not allow you to place a Geobay in the Expedition fixed on a Experimental update?

[onyx crow]

Huh interesting

So that station overide is only for the expedition

[ancient wolf]

What's the station override for?

[onyx crow]

No one knows

[jovial violet]

it exists to generate hype and interest in a future feature and/or expedition without hello games having to actually say anything about it

[steel magnet]

i love how in twitch's tags nms is listed as simulation

like, ik it's a genre of game

but i just find that hilarious given the story

[brazen citrus]

I'm getting this too, I have to find one of the 5 that's already built to finish that section don't I?

[green burrow]

I agree

For people that don't know yet, there is a piece of dialogue in game that implies that the station core will be damaged somehow, and that is when we will use the override

we can't activate that dialogue in game yet, but it is there

[supple crater]

Refer to #nms-questions for help with the game please.

[potent valve]

Does going to the galaxy center reset your inventory and ship and stuff or only the galaxy you’re in?

[uncut harness]

Oh my. This would be fantastic.

[severe sun]

your ship will take damage but you'll lose nothing

[supple crater]

Everything that isn't in the technology inventories will break.

I think.

So, swap your multi-tool and ship is generally good advice.

[potent valve]

Ok and can you go back to your old galaxy?

[severe sun]

yes, teleport back. built bases in both

[misty hound]

What does the star seed do

[heady wyvern]

@misty hound Grants an additional hit point (those [+] icons under your shield meter). Completing the Atlas Path in any capacity grants you the innate ability to see Black Holes on the galaxy map.

[uncut harness]

just noticed the anomaly sticker is overlayed on earth

making this one of the very few in-game references to earth or humanity

nvm I didnt just notice it

[crisp fern]

hey, get outta here earth nobody wants u

[ocean wyvern]

That's kinda the problem

[misty hound]

Thanks!

[dire ocean]

Hoooray, phase 5 complete!

[gaunt socket]

hey sorry I'm a bit behind on the lore, is each universe iteration a simulation created by the atlas?

[lunar pilot]

does anyone know why all living ships in my save are the exactly same colors? xD
yellow/black
yellow/gray
mango-yellow/black

well, just yellow, is it the most "common" color or what, hahah?

[tall parcel]

😏

[thick lodge]

does anyone know if the biological horror companion actually grows up

because mines been at juvenile for a few days

[jovial violet]

that's normal, companions have a rather long growth time (think it's ~two weeks to go from a baby to elderly). give it a few more days! it'll grow up soon

[stuck rose]

have you put it on the egg sequencer and changed its genetic? Like its weight/height

[thick lodge]

no its the "stock" version

[thick lodge]

ah i see, thank you!

[uncut harness]

So, we got the station core override codes, but these aren't working now?

Or did I do something wrong?

[fierce harness]

No they just don’t do anything

Seems as though we got trolled

[stuck hinge]

Thanks Sean…

[uncut harness]

np

[rich mesa]

They change color based on their environment

At least from what I've seen

Mine looks completely different depending on where its parked

[jovial violet]

nah, that's just a quirk with how lighting and filters are done in this game

living ships and their colours are functionally random, like all procgen in this game. if you're looking for new stuff, try new systems!

[analog wyvern]

Anyone not having the Artemis questline show up or their space anomaly being completely devoid of players after completing the expedition on the expedition save file?

[uncut harness]

how do you get to earth?

[heady wyvern]

You can reach any planet by aiming at it and activating your pulse drive.

As for Capital-E Earth, that's not a thing you can do for... multiple reasons.

[vale delta]

Like the 6 moon per system limit means our system doesn’t exist

Along with other reasons

It’d be cool if they added our planet and moon in an update for fun

[uncut harness]

^

[mental socket]

NMS isn't based in our universe but a fictional one

[heady wyvern]

Fictional*

For any PC players that want to save some running around. The seed for the Quantum Heavy Silencer is 0xCBA3E07E8DDF87A9

[modest kiln]

Why is it so hard to build abase teleporter

it always says "object to close"

[hoary carbon]

That's something that seems unique to this Expeditions. Just move way far away from the spot ya want to build and try it.

ooo ok thank you

that works

Screw over the settlement ⬅️ ➡️ Screw over the settlement

[crisp fern]

oh, i didn't see which channel this was, but yeah no there is no way to resign as overseer atm

I can't remember tbh, but I think you can look that up on the wiki

[stuck rose]

you will stay on your current universe

[sour mountain]

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but I tried to built a pilgrim geobay at my new planet, and I'm unable to because there's a "limit of 5 per planet". Does that really mean just five players can build that geobay on the planet? The same applies to exocraft summoning stations, so it seems there's no way to drive that particular exocraft without summoning my freighter to the system. Is there anything else I can do to make the pilgrim (and other exocraft) available to me on this planet?

[acoustic yacht]

@sour mountain you should be able to summon it if there are any geobays on the planet, built by you or not

[sour mountain]

Hm--- I'm not able to summon any of my exocraft on that particular planet, except for the minotaur (whose bay I was able to construct there).

[acoustic yacht]

You might have to find one of the other player's bays and summon it to the pad first

[sour mountain]

I do have exocraft bays on another planet, and I am able to summon them there.

Ugh, okay---thank you.

Do you know whether there's a better way to know where one is than hopping around to other bases on the planet at random and checking each separately?

[acoustic yacht]

If I remember right they usually have an icon as well

You might still have to get close, but you should be able to tell without getting right up on it

[sour mountain]

Okay, thank you.

The hunt begins, I suppose---

Oops, I thought this was nms-help, nevermind me.

[hoary carbon]

One way around that is to build one each of every bay on some random planet. Then build the exocraft freighter bay, bring your freighter into the system and beam them down.

[heady wyvern]

Yes, however this is an Expedition save, where other planets are largely unavailable for a good while.

[hoary carbon]

Whoops, my bad. Didn't realize you were talking about Expeditions. I know there are some work around. Just not sure what they are. Might want to check youtube

[sour mountain]

I wasn't talking about Expeditions, but rather my main save. (I didn't mean to post the question in nms-spoilers, sorry for the confusion.) I know I can bring in my freighter, but I was hoping to avoid having to do that every time I wanted to use an exocraft on this planet, which I've started using as my new main base. (I also like the aesthetics of the exocraft stations themselves and hoped to add them to the base.)

[heady wyvern]

@sour mountain It's not really that difficult... says the guy who hasn't used his starship to warp in forever

[slender idol]

Is there actually a false atlas? or is polo just annoyed with the regular atlas? hes all over atlas-falsity. and we keep leaving to have chill convo's with the thing.

[heady wyvern]

I believe it's more that Polo rejects the divinity of the Atlas, that the Atlas is some form of false god.

[slender idol]

well, we do keep on finding polo and nadas wrecked and blown up ships. its clear they are persued.

and, agressive sentinel planets notwithstanding, we are not.

When taking an in game screenshot 12 glyphs are displayed in the lower left. Are these the glyphs for the closest planet?

Those are the glyphs for the portal in that system

So the coordinates if you use a portal you plug in those icons

[earnest crater]

Thanks. I figured it out by using the displayed glyphs at a portal I aready had access to.

[craggy plover]

Nice! Good to hear. Well explored

@open mulch

[nocturne zephyr]

if so i have much respect for them and that decision

though what they gave us didn’t feel ready

[delicate halo]

Im confused, im pretty much got these 3 options but no idea what does what or if i can choose the other 1 or 2 if i choose option 3?
||(1) Seek the Final Interfact
(2) Complete the Atlas Path
(3) Explore the Galaxy||

[uncut harness]

1 - Lets you see that part of the story through to it's actual end.
2 - Lets you finish at that point.
3 - Lets you go explore and come back later.

(Also, don't need spoiler tags in this channel. Just a heads up)

[delicate halo]

So i can continue on the quest if i press 2?

I dont want to reset my shit though, cba redoing that (e.g technology)

[uncut harness]

1 will let you continue on the quest, 3 will let you finish later and 2 will finish it right now.

[delicate halo]

ah

Thanks

[uncut harness]

No problem.

[delicate halo]

Also, im confused https://imgur.com/17jpCKV

Aren't both literally the same?

[delicate halo]

The Purge doesnt reset my inventory or bases right?

nvm found thread

[wide elk]

Can I complete the Atlas Path after I've reset the universe?

[blazing bluff]

Hey! I have the same question but I've chosen the first option, if I reach the center of the galaxy my save resets? Like bases, inventory etc? My friends have a base and some good stuff, they will lose it?
srr for my bad English

[rancid ether]

You dont lose bases or inventory.
Only have technology broken

[heady wyvern]

No, your bases will persist, you will keep your fleet and freighter, as well as your ship collection. The tech in your active ship, active multi-tool, and exosuit will be damaged, but your inventory will remain otherwise untouched.

[blazing bluff]

Thank you! ^^

thanks, problem is i already picked up the ship without thinking it was have trash colors

[neon sentinel]

There is no official patchnotes for the yesterday's 2GB experimental update and i am surprised that no one talks about it anywhere. They literally pushed it under our noses.. And no it's not in the 3.67 update or official patchnotes. These only include all the 3.67 patchnotes PRIOR of yesterday's 2GB update. It's probably nothing, and just forgot to update their HG post with the new experimental patch on steam and most likely it's the next experimental patch (3.68)

But what i realize now is that, its been 17 hours since then so they couldn't just forget that. And also the experimental updated first, and 12 hours later made it public. So there is a chance whatever code they changed is in public too right now. Probably i am lookin too much into it, but sincerely havent happend before, and i am thoroughly looking that stuff everytime

(Just wrote it here in case someone knows anything)

[supple crater]

It's happened before, not a big deal.

[neon sentinel]

Not a big deal regarding the content of the 2GB update or the fact that there were no patchnotes for the specific build?

Experimental and public are the same by the way, just checked. So no 3.68

[mighty rampart]

yeah not a big deal since you cannot go by the update size

3.67 was more than 3GB

despite it being the usual fixes

[mighty rampart]

no they aren't

experimental and internal are same

[neon sentinel]

But all three say 7364940, am i missing something?

[neon sentinel]

3.67 has also the 2GB if im reading this correctly so makes sense to be 3GB. But generally, yeah i know what you mean, i have that in mind

[mighty rampart]

no it doesnt have the 2GB

that's the unknown experimental that's ahead of 3.67

btw only one PAK file was changed: NMSARC.5B11B94C

btw more fireworks inbound (besides the 3 new that were added before frontiers that I didnt check out yet)

[neon sentinel]

Okay...

[mighty rampart]

ok wait you are right the build IDs are the exact same, I thought maybe one number was different and I couldn't spot it

yeah all three branches are even

I guess that 1.8gig was some fix to experimental only bug

CC: @spice gorge

[spice gorge]

hmm

[mighty rampart]

I opted out of experimental, and then back in and there was no downloading

which means it is the same as public rn

[spice gorge]

yes, Depots page shows them as same

Dunno

Not overly concerned / curious

[mighty rampart]

and those screenshots above was present well before 3.67 anyway

[neon sentinel]

Yeah. Exactly. That was my point. But probably nothing serious

[mental socket]

many of those are the twitch drop RGB packs

[mighty rampart]

oh twitch drops doing unique fireworks? damn

[mental socket]

they're not unique. It's just an item that gives you a bunch of red, green and blue fireworks

Weird how they made a new item for each of them

despite them being the exact same

one for each drop day

[jovial violet]

probably just a quirk in how they distribute the items. easier to make multiple "unique" entries of the same item, rather than having one entry, but allow people who earned it each day claim it X amount of times

I've seen several other similar posts but this was the first one I saw, seems to be some controversy about the water but the rest tracks

[opal kite]

i'd rather see settlements follow the same track as bases, with being able to have lots of them and have them where you want. there lots of things i can think that would be exciting to see added/changed with NMS, the stuff mentioned in that reddit post just doesn't scream "woohoo" for me.

sure i'll take more plants, more animals, more of pretty much anything. but that's not going to get me really excited, not when there's all this other stuff that could be done

[halcyon pebble]

That screams woohoo for me

[nocturne zephyr]

exploration focused updates scream woohoo for me, not features that stall us from exploring. but i can agree that settlements need huge improvements

[halcyon pebble]

so is this true??

[opal kite]

if it was a complete remake of plants and animals so they were truly procedurally generated instead of mr potatoheaded together, sure that would get me really excited. but i don't think we'll ever have that.

[nocturne zephyr]

yeah adding in more assets won’t be enough

the core of it all needs to be improved and deepened

[halcyon pebble]

idk if its 100k files that is pretty huge

[opal kite]

they could all be small changes that you'll never even know about

[nocturne zephyr]

I saw someone else mentioning in the comments that in other updates that many files have been changed in the past

[halcyon pebble]

I wonder if its true because if it is that seems interesting

[nocturne zephyr]

so i won’t bet that means much

at this point

[halcyon pebble]

fair fair

I do think exploration is probably going to be improved on in the future

[nocturne zephyr]

it will

how drastically, who knows

just hope it’s not all shallow, aesthetic changes

[opal kite]

i think more assets are added every update, technically exploration is improved constantly, they just aren't big enough changes to really notice. a few new eyes added to the mix. a few new textures, a few new leg pieces. constantly being added to, things you notice in aggregate over a long period comparing to original NMS, but not stuff you really notice from one update to the next.

[halcyon pebble]

Honestly I doubt that because of Prisms being out that seems like the yearly Aesthetic changes

[nocturne zephyr]

mhm Prisms was all aesthetic visual polishes

[halcyon pebble]

all I want is like Endor like forests

I feel like that would be neat

[nocturne zephyr]

hopefully they can make actual dense forests on next gen for sure

they could do so much with forest variety

but this is leaning towards future topic

[opal kite]

well there is already megaflora. so there might be an Endor type forest out there right now

[knotty mountain]

I just need more variety across Flora and minerals in general, every single paradise planet has exactly the same trees but in different colors, and pretty much every frozen planet is exactly the same

[nocturne zephyr]

doesn’t feel foresty though, gekbane

[halcyon pebble]

eXACTLY

caps

Like this

type of forest

[knotty mountain]

And there are like 7 rocks that are just used over and over

[opal kite]

that general feeling is the result of the mr potatohead method. that's not going to change unless they overhaul plant, animal, and mineral generation to be procedurally generated on a more detailed basic level than just plugging parts together.

[nocturne zephyr]

plus imagine if trees…were animated

[knotty mountain]

I think this is what a lot of people are speculating the 4.0 update will be

[nocturne zephyr]

that would be very cool

[opal kite]

that would be very exciting. i don't expect NMS will ever have that. it would be such a huge increase on cpu time. consoles are already choking on what the game wants the hardware to do.

[knotty mountain]

Also any updates to water would be amazing

If water did anything

[opal kite]

water does near zero for me. compared to almost anything else they COULD change/add.

imo water looks fine

improvements to water texture or water animation would be so far down the list, so very far, far , far, down the list.

[knotty mountain]

Ok so I actually have a big long theory about this so bare with me

[nocturne zephyr]

they should leave last gen in the dust

it’s time

[halcyon pebble]

agreed

[opal kite]

or just don't try to add improvements to the version on older hardware

essentially have different versions.

don't leave them behind, just handle them separately

[knotty mountain]

So I think what will happen at some point is that the game will get a cross save update where we have a login system and character profiles to make the civilizations more like a clan/guild system in other games, which would also allow people to have an in game profile which would make trading with people directly more feasible and across distances if they were in a group or something, once that is in place it would make it fairly easy to make the whole game server hosted where all of the rendering and processing is done on HG side, now I imagine this would most likely take several years but this is my theory

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

[nocturne zephyr]

which would cost them extra development time when they could be focused on the future

[opal kite]

true but that portion of the playerbase is not insignificant

[nocturne zephyr]

i agree

[knotty mountain]

And increasingly less significant over time

[nocturne zephyr]

inevitably HG will make the move

[knotty mountain]

Warframe is finally getting cross platform this year and it's already cross save so it's like opposite lol, so it's becoming more prominent I feel like

[meager elm]

Are we not meant to use the station override yet?

[tame grotto]

from the looks of it, or what ppl have been reporting, that's correct

[meager elm]

interesting

Is the main reward the companion egg? from this expedition

[white scaffold]

okay so since this is a spoiler area.. anyone have advice for having restarted in green galazy without enough resources, on a toxic planet. i keep dying over and over

[tame grotto]

def check #nms-questions for tips since your question doesn't seem to be spoilery and that channel tends to be busier with folks answering questions. if discussing specific quest / story parts you can spoiler tag there.

[heady wyvern]

Erm... explain why you can't survive simple hazards at this point

[white scaffold]

all my equipment is broken.. ive been repairing a piece at a time then dying haha.. i think im about to get back to my ship finally though so i might be out of it

[heady wyvern]

Aye

I think about it and I'm starting to understand

[tame grotto]

the monstrosity egg and there are a couple of others. here's a list/screenshot: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/pfs3fy/expedition_3_rewards/

[white scaffold]

yeah literally everything was broken, hazard protection and all so i had to beat a tree for carbon to repair my mining laser and then go from there

[heady wyvern]

Or maybe I'm just too used to being swamped with stockpiles of sodium/sodium nitrite I'm not using

[white scaffold]

i stupidly was pretty low on supplies when i went and did this last part of the atlas story.. and its my first time playing through

[tame grotto]

makes sense. always remember to try to look for caves to take cover while exploring. super helpful when starting game modes like permadeath lol

def ask for more tips in #nms-questions. lotta helpful folks there too. and your specific question wouldn't be a "spoiler."

[white scaffold]

thank you so much! im always so hper critical about not posting spoilers in places

[tame grotto]

when/if in doubt, you can also spoiler tag specific text by wrapping it with the || character. eg. ||spoiler text here|| followed by non-spoiler

lol i had quite a time trying to properly tag that so it'd show correctly. hopefully you get the gist.

[white scaffold]

ha! i apreciate it and yes that makes sense

[heady wyvern]

More like ||This|| but yes

[white scaffold]

|Test|

nope

[tame grotto]

agh! thank you!!! lol

[white scaffold]

double?

[tame grotto]

sorry, double

[white scaffold]

||Test||

Got it

thanks!

this community is seriously SO helpful.. im constantly amazed an sad it took me until 3 days ago to get the game

[tame grotto]

so glad you've joined us and are enjoying it! the game's got so many new things now. so not a bad time to start

[mighty rampart]

Conspiracy

I think you were meant to use the override

And it was meant to fail

To generate buzz again

[tame grotto]

hmmm that conspiracy doesn't seem too far fetched

[mighty rampart]

if it was a bugged reward it would have been patched by now

[wild solar]

should i upload artimus or let him die ?

i feel both are wrong

[uncut harness]

that’s the point

if one felt clearly more “right” over the other, then there would be no conflict

[wild solar]

okay

let him die

[uncut harness]

it’s your choice

👍

[tame grotto]

that's what i chose too

[raven berry]

My base doesnt load in for my friend at all, why?

[icy citrus]

Gonna get more traction in #nms-questions

[prime inlet]

please post a screenshot of your mission Log menu @hollow tiger

🙂

[hollow tiger]

Sure one moment

server wont let me post picture

[prime inlet]

#nms-photomode-gallery , mark it as spoiler

if you're on mobile, renaming the file to SPOILER_something.jpg (or whatever file extension it is in) and then posting it will mark it as spoiler automatically

[hollow tiger]

posted it and marked as spoiler

[prime inlet]

thumbnail? letters are so small even when i open original

[hollow tiger]

oh what hold on

[prime inlet]

but i can see you're trying to do dreams of the deep

[hollow tiger]

there we go

[prime inlet]

ok now it's perfectly visible

so at this point, you already have the nautilon geobay in your build menu?

[hollow tiger]

yeah I think so

[prime inlet]

build it.

[sudden pond]

new beginnings is the end of Artemis Path. looks like you still have some atlas path stuff to do tho. once youve completed them, youre basically in sandbox mode then. its entirely up to you to decide what to do now

[hollow tiger]

Just got to the new galaxy so

okay okay @sudden pond

[prime inlet]

yes - i didn't even go there because New Beginnings

i shifted my attention to dreams of the deep as it was the active quest - maybe i shouldn't have

[hollow tiger]

yeah it was kind of just something I was doing in the meantime

[prime inlet]

like Jihiro said

[hollow tiger]

and of course there is the settlement thing to do right

[prime inlet]

if you have a base still in the previous galaxy, and you build a base here on the current galaxy, you will be able to teleport between galaxies at will

[hollow tiger]

oh thank god lol

[prime inlet]

that goes for any galaxy

[hollow tiger]

Do I need a new freighter for each galaxy?

[prime inlet]

no

you just summon yours

summoning has no distance limit/freighter warp range requirement

[hollow tiger]

okay

thank you ❤️

[sudden pond]

yeah theres still tons and tons to do, try out things you never really did much before: settlements, mineral farming, cooking etc

[hollow tiger]

will do thank you, just until now it felt like a very lead and directed gameplay loop so just trying to get a handle on how it changes

[prime inlet]

yep, welcome to sandbox mode

[hollow tiger]

what exactly is the purpose of black holes? do they just take you somewhere random?

[prime inlet]

no

their purpose is to warp you closer to the galactic core

if you open your galaxy map

and look at the minimap at the top left

below it there's the galaxy name, and a number

[hollow tiger]

ahhhhh okay, and how many galaxies are there to go to by getting to the center?

[prime inlet]

that number is the distance - in a straight line, if it were possible - to the galactic core

255

[hollow tiger]

oh wow okay

[prime inlet]

most players will never leave the first one

however

using black holes to reach the core

is an old way of doing it

[hollow tiger]

now its portal huh

[prime inlet]

each black hole warp will take you about 6000, 7000 light years closer

with a portal

you can just input an address, and get to the core regions in seconds

every planet has a portal so

no matter where you are right now

[hollow tiger]

what changes between the galaxies?

[prime inlet]

in 10min you could be near the core

biome spawn probability

say a lush type galaxy will have higher odds at spawning lush biome planets

and a harsh galaxy has a higher chance at spawning harsher planets

[hollow tiger]

how do you tell which type of galaxy is which?

[pallid latch]

What happens to artemis after reset?

[prime inlet]

@hollow tiger in game, you can't really tell. but look at https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy#Galaxy_types

[prime inlet]

depends what was your choice

[pallid latch]

to take him to a simulation

[prime inlet]

thats where he will be

[pallid latch]

so he's still there after reset?

[prime inlet]

should be yes

[pallid latch]

nada and polo don't remember me

so how does artemis?

don't know much lore

[prime inlet]

you uploaded him into a different simulation i guess that's why

[sudden pond]

(one small quibble: Artemis is the ancient greek goddess of the hunt. so female) ^^;

[hollow tiger]

I haven't seen the room pictured on that page yet, I chose not to reset the galaxy yet during the quest and just went to the core with portals. Is that a place I can get to ever?

[prime inlet]

yeah - travelers have no gender even

[hollow tiger]

yeah ive seen people calling her a him all the time and it throws me

[sudden pond]

yeah thats true too, hard to assign human genders to alien beings ^^;;

[trail dock]

I like to call Artemis "Artemis"

[prime inlet]

you only get to see that room depending on your choice in the purge. there's only one chance per save, in other words the artemis path can only be completed once per save.

[hollow tiger]

dang so I just have to wander to the core of galaxies until I get to one I want?

[prime inlet]

so if you already completed it, and stayed in the current "simulation" (read: galaxy)

you still have plenty of other ways to get to other galaxies

there's other ways as well

like getting a taxi from another player

or teleporting to a space anomaly featured base that's in another galaxy

[sudden pond]

@hollow tiger you can also do so called core-to-core warps. if you take a black hole thats right next to the core, then jump through the core, youll end up already at the core of the next galaxy

[hollow tiger]

oh wild

alright alright

[sudden pond]

i believe you only need to do the black hole step that first time, then youll keep going to the core after each jump (until you restart your game)

[prime inlet]

that's triggering core to core

[sudden pond]

^^;

[prime inlet]

the talk about bh was just describing a (old method) way to get to the core

[sudden pond]

i just mentioned core-to-core above ^^;;

[prime inlet]

yep, no problem with that

(most people aren't into hopping galaxies like crazy, that's mostly the reason why i hadn't brought it up yet)

like most players want to get to eissentam

they can just get a taxi/featured base, you know what i mean?

[hollow tiger]

Well I have like 80 hours in first playthrough and now that I know a lot about the base mechanics of the game it might be time to start a new save so I can finish the questline in a different way. Thank you all for answering so many questions lol

[lucid harness]

Store Artemis or end their suffering?

I choose the latter. Afterlifes are over-rated.

[jaunty horizon]

Do u figure out about sentinels in the story?

Just say yes or no please

[lucid harness]

No.

Although they do seem to be the answer to helping solve our own climate crisis

[tulip tangle]

In the end of the game, GOD puts you right back where you started and breaks your ship a little, too

[lucid harness]

Is it a complete reset?

[tame grotto]

not really a complete reset as in, you don't lose your past base(s), nor anything else you own. you choose another galaxy. but as long as you create a base there, you can switch between galaxies. with some tech breaking, it's recommended you have another ship before the final step (going to the other galaxy) so you can switch to the one that's not broken. same for multitool iirc. that sort of thing. you can ask for more tips in #nms-questions for how to best prepare. and you can spoiler tag some things that are story related if asking outside of this channel (eg. ||spoiler|| non-spoiler text).

[pallid latch]

Why do sentinels hate me?

I'm just a traveler?

like whenever I go near one

they attack

[icy citrus]

You are an anomaly in the system

[pallid latch]

Can I make them like me?

[icy citrus]

Not really

[pallid latch]

hello games should give us the ability to make peace with the sentinels next update imo

[uncut harness]

For what reason?

[pallid latch]

imo its annoying when a sentinel attacks while i'm just mining something

[uncut harness]

There are planets with no sentinels, and low sentinel activity. It might be worth you checking them out.

[quiet bay]

bruh why did they make me do this to my boy artemis

[glass flare]

i'm still annoyed with HG that they did not give us any narrative to explain why all races are suddenly building forbidden settlements in defiance of the Sentinels. Vy'keen are the only ones who have reasonable cause to do so
