Rest would be bug fixes 
Wha— the ga-kzzt- no-kzzzt- that bug- connection lost
Reestablish?
Oh I didnt know there was a expedition 4
Spoil me pls
@sleek dragon
Oh interesting
Ah there's the update, steam was taking its sweet time lol
I swear to god if my settlement moves again causing grass to be inside I'm going to collectively lost my shite
Lose
Emergence
"he who controls the pumpkin spice controls the white girls"
Wait thats not how it goes
No notes from Papa Sean yet? 
I wonder how that worm works
Wiggle Wiggle
could test it rn
show some worm riding
Knowing sean we can't even ride the damned worm
ok no the expedition unlocks mod didnt work
have to wait for save editor update then
So the update is going live on consoles?
Yeah
and PC
Wonder if they are waiting on the announcement for GOG to get it
Its probably just an update for expedition 4
Yea
Welp back to minecraft
Cmon Sean
Checked station override, abandoned stations, derelicts, QS store and pretty much every different aspect
All I saw was new expedition stuff so there isn't likely anything new outside of that
🥲damn
can the override be used at an abandoned station?
damn
that would have been interesting, using the override to reboot a station unit to make it useable again or something
There's a string in game for an abandoned station core....
So an emoji hype tweet can now be for anything, from a new item at the end of an expedition to an Origins sized update? I think maybe I'm done getting hyped from emojis now lol
But no abandoned station cores yet
ive noticed quite a few unused strings, like space base codes
Space base?
Exp 4 live
yeah, a few things have a Allow_space_building: false" code
5 weeks length
including things that can be built on freighters, so its not about building on those
Day 1 expeditions are nutty
day 1 expeditions, always in offline mode lol
That's been there for almost two years, if not longer
do you have a link for that, Jordan276, that we can share elsewhere?
Just open the game
The best guess was from exosolar thinking the area at the top of the ramp and the rest of freighter bases. They did add a space base line in base building globals maybe about a year ago now, but haven't done anything with that yet either
probably just saw it in expedition menu in game
can't, at work and the download will be quite slow, that's why I was asking. but I can pass on that info, thanks
i miss being able to use cubiod and prefab parts in freighters
exp 3 took me about 7 hours to run, i dont see this one being too much longer
Wow, files for both expedition 4 and 5 in here
ooh?
can't decompile either one yet, need the compiler to be updated
Kinda sus
Judging by file size it's shorter
Season three file was in for about 2 months before they released it. They just updated some parts of it, but otherwise it was legit
decompiles, just an ASCII of Rick Astley
"counterfeit override key detected"
@prime inlet Started in Wasan
Oh wow exped 4 is also 5 weeks
Milestones pls
Wtf it literally started with a giant worm
mmmmm, go to work or play expedition....
COMMENCING ATLAS SYSTEM SUIT INITIALISATION
What's the worst one
I called it
@glass leaf ^ that the one?
Seems like they're messing with scripted events again
seems everyone starts on the same planet again
HUNTING EXPEDITION
Nice
Got it to
JAYSUS that a big worm meanie
You are slowly taking gleam's role
ok, time to get the hell out of this channel
Wait they're called titan worms?
Apparently they are now
ARCHIVVE OVERRIDE IMPLANT?
Cursed dust?
W H A T
oh no, stealing wispering eggs
An expedition staple
Oooooh
Interesting
THIS is interesting
Ooooohhh
Are these like
Me likey
Boss battles?
UGH anciet bones again, the worst
That could be why my sandworm mod is crashing 🙂
AND I GOT VACATION NEXT WEEK LETS FUCKING GOOOO
yes
Oh shit oh fuck
it aint a boss battle
Ok ill do it then thanks @supple crater
There's wormskin folios to collect
its "shoot 7 small new worm things"
It looks new this time
yea
@supple crater the moment tha patch notes drop, the curse shall be lifted
yeah, wondering what back end changes they made, fixes and whatnot
That's a good string of spoiling. Nice work!
I wonder if titan worms and sandworms are different things or if they fully replaced the old ones
Anyone explain what's going on?
I wonder if they added another giant model just for an expedition
update
Mightve replaced) updated the models?
The burrows from the video appear to be different though...
“YOOOOOO #NoMansSkySpoilers @ProceduralTRV @NCaptainsteve https://t.co/YPf16f5PMo”
hold up, ill go to my normal save with worms all over the place and let you know
If yes then we literally got a worm update
Looks like a smaller version of the worms?
The growls are old though
Worm update
It's definitely a new model
holy shit
Wormy hype go brrrr
goddamn
Since it just went live, guess we'll get notes in a bit
God fucking dammit sean
Woah this expedition looks very interesting
Motherfu-
Can’t wait to play it later
Holy fuck
looks gross lol

That's some creepy shit lmao
Cue the people with worm phobias asking for a mod
Get winder to add more Thomas models for em 
They don't damage you
"can you please make the worm expedition 100% wormless"
Sad!
wait they added worms
Aww cmon...
haha
What are Titan worms?
Oh shit new tech?
Strange, they must have completely reworked the spawning mechanics
probably exped only tech
Aww shit my tech mod won't work 
Oh crap, that means the damage table is broken now too
no worm on my previously very worm active world?
do they move around and stuff or are they just in the same spot
is it like three mini sandworms moving around together
i kinda want a pet one
or are they just like peeping out of the ground
okay it popped up finally, not replaced, added
You've seen the reward right
not yet
still the same old worm it was, thats on my normal save
So, update name will be Emergence?
I don't think we've ever gotten exped before patch notes
imma check the expedition rewards now
i think these worms are prolly also being added to the base game to
I'm gonna see if worms spawn in the base game
Not trying to complain but I probably won’t be able to do the expedition the last expedition I tried it just kept crashing I’m on console btw
Yes
alright well
wait how do u know?
this expedition seems like a ton of fun
i mean the expedition is called emergence
You can decode the word on the banner
ohhh
also t hat ye
and as soon as you load in it says emergence
So they really did add new structs just for worm related quests. Seems kind of a waste of resources
its new and free
Not surprising from hg though
already closed game or i would go check
Yea, not sure what the taking damage ones are for though....
Is there anything in the exped which measures you taking damage?
think they might be changes to a few planetary props, noticed one of those "scattered rocks" that are mineable look a bit different
That heat damage one probs
I think that's to track if you take damage, it goes with some of the milestones posted above
unless I just never saw this specific one before on the exped planet
Lol always doing stuff no one asked
heat damage from hot planets, which means yay hiding in caves
Damn that sounds like a massive waste of resources but... As you say, not uncommon with HG
I guess they have the right to add whatever the fuck they want
this?
wrong screenshot
Lmao
wait, new helmet has an effect?
it probably is animated at the very least
Are there
saw a post that says it negates planetary weather damage, any confirmations?
Adult worms?
I'm guessing the lack of damage is a bug
ah, fair
Hmm I'll go see if I can decompile the tech table
Interesting they are draggin Atlas into this
God really do be havin to break up our argument with a worm
Just saw a pure ferrite rock that looks like another asset mashed toghether multuple times
Is this new
I don't recall it existing
THE ELDER SCROLLS
WORMCORE
Yes, the two new worm tech items provide suit protection bonuses
So is the expedition already playable?
And it seems like some pure ferrite rocks there are just normal rocks mashed toghether
I thought it was only the update right now and the expedition would start at a later date
That's old
Are the small worms not spawning
i killed them
Turn off multiplayer. Fixed it for most.
as far as we know the expedition could be the only major part to this update
That's all you were supposed to do
gotcha
it's not unheard of, expedition 2 launched in a similar way
Someone go to the expedition planet on a normal save
The wording in the explanation makes me think the worms are in the specific planet
haha the pricing
and the scroll is 1616 u
I think flesh rope seems safe to sell, the scroll seems a little more important

My luck with finding a sandworm though lol
I'm not selling either just to make sire
Tho it does literally say the ropes fetch a high price
yeah that's why I said its likely safe
while not the scroll, it seems important
or maybe just that text is, for your lore pleasure
That's new. You used to only be able to have one on screen at a time
And only during on foot exploration, right?
THE WORMS CAN YEET YOU
Not during flying your ship
OH GOD
Wasnt there files for it to be more than one ?
bruh i literally cant look anywhere without seeing a sand worm this is amazing
they just keep appearing
I got a companion for this one
After how helpful the one i got last time was
It's a W. Patgxoe (the bipedal thing at the starter planet)
Damn they can't expect us to play for companions and not get more companion slots 
I can't place down a refiner
Are you near your ship?
Maybe restart the game?
Do you play with a controller?
You can use wire mode glitch pretty easily if it isn't for a portable refiner
It's a portable one
ah damn, this glitch would only work if youre on your base then
have you tried disabling multiplayer yet?
Did it at the start
Hmm shouldn't exped 4 stuff go in #no-mans-sky now?
Yeah
huh mine werent doing this and I even rammed into one to see if it damaged me, no dice
you are supposed to?
so I just finished mapping out changes in the exe, and HG have added slots for up to expeditions number 6 😄
Nice
Nice
if expeditions can help flush some bits parts of the game like here
With worms
Im gonna like it
wondering about this too
nvm, figured it out, just take the quest and it tells you
there's cursed dust deposits just like the usual deposits, have to find them accordingly
Bro I can't wait until expedition 4 comes out so excited
Wym?
It's already out.
its out dude
Let me just commit no breathe
lmao
Im so slow
Jesus fuck
so does this mean they have up to 6 expds planned out now?
Trail
apparently my jetpack creates bees?
Those look like uh...well, not bees
tbh im not sure what they are
They look like cicadas

Expedition Four: Emergence - Milestones
(Open original image for better readability. Message me with typos/errors.)
thanks!
How long will this expedition go?
I started it today but i'll do it most over the weekend
4-5 weeks
enable Link Preview to see info 
Expedition 4 - Emergence ends November 22 10am UTC in 4 weeks 4 days 16 hours.
Start new save at least one day before the expedition ends.
Archive Override Implant? Is that for viewing the writhing manuscript?
Yes.
Ah then i have more than enough time
It feels a bit repetitive, but the rewards are cool enough to do it
that arguably sums up expeditions, lol
I did cartographer and started this one
But yeah i agree so far
||Can't wait to become a worm ridden abomination||
become worms
Can't wait to see how gigantic people are gonna make their pet worms
i had tried to forget that was a thing 😔
Don't like the worm baby?
oh hey, missed this, thanks!
I am so utterly confused
I have the archive override and I'm at the center of the archive, but I can't interact with the vault
Nothing is prompting me to press E to interact
reload the game? sounds bugged
I've reloaded several times
try a different archive then, like in some other system
Archives are so goddamn hard to find, but I'll try
how to even find archives?
Great, I can't even take off now
My ship loaded onto the ground next to the archive
and when I take off using it, it just freezes in the air and I can't move
do you have a manual save?
Yeah from like 4 hours ago
F
I don't have any nav data either
buy commercial charts
so I can't summon the ship to a pad
thank you!
did u try spawning your ship somewhere else and then taking off?
btw, how do they look like? so i know what i'm looking for :D
the archives i mean, not the charts
Enormous skyscrapers surrounded by landing pads
ooooooh, ok i think i know what you mean, thank you so much :3
Yeah, the archive wont let me interact with the pad in the center
I have no idea why
where exactly on a derelict freighter should i find archive implant?
The computer where you normally find the captain's log
ah tyvm
Yeah, I'm stuck
charts aren't finding me any archives
I have no idea what to do
Are you actually kidding me??? I just used three charts and all three located the exact same minor settlement
@thin furnaceif you haven't already you may want to report the issues that led to your current situation to HG
I will
and in the meantime, I cant complete the Expedition
so I'm just extremely frustrated right now
Unfortunately I don't think there's much other than maybe joining another player to more reliably locate an archive. See if anyone's built a base near one so you could just try to teleport to one or something?
That's exactly what I did to begin with
I teleported to an archive in the Rendevouz system using a player base
Maybe someone's left a comms station near one or something to help locate them as well
Aaah
Something tells me I'm going to encounter the same problem at every archive
Hopefully not, but well, won't know until trying another
They added some other new jetpack emitter effects that I don't think are being used yet. Bug, dust, egg, and goo
Bro half of the expedition is fucking buged like the burrow on the second planet challenge won't complete
And I've been to nearly 27 of them
using a couple of them on expedition rewards, jetpack trail for example
shoots out bugs and goo
i wonder if they were trying to do a tie-in with Dune and it didn't happen, so they just released this without official Dune rewards
There also a worm emitter, which I assume is what they are using
Just checking: is the game asking me to collect spice dust first and then giving the hyperdrive plans intended? In which case it's a very cute Dune reference. Or a bug? 😄
Because it was kinda perfect, so I hope it's intended.
Is the fact that the Blaze Javelin is a default weapon (in Exp 4) significant? Safe to uninstall?
So it seems that this was just a mistake on my end, but with Dune's travel relying on spice, this only added to my enjoyment tbh. 😄
At first I thought we might need dust for the hyper drive :3
Just to check, but you are on the third planet overall i.e. the second rendevous planet, right? Cuz I just made the mistake of trying to trigger it on rendevous 1. 😛
I make good choices
I didnt have this
so yeah safe to uninstall
what do you know
sorta hoping it wouldve released a bit later like in my prediction because i have work this week, but i'd say the worm shit was pretty clear from the start
got the minor update, expedition 4, and worm stuff right though, idk if the dune thing happened or not though, but sandworms are pretty related to dune
Not sure if this has been mentioned here yet, but there's a random encounter black hole in the Exp 4 starting system (Elusuu) that leads to Ossada-Nawag, a T2 Gek system.
cool! thanks for the heads up
i haven't started the expedition yet, does it directly reference dune, and like, how much, because given that dune still wont release for 2 days i wouldn't eliminate the possibility of an official dune crossover, although from the looks of it this expedition seems to be a nod enough
-
No idea, but the addition of sand worms in the first place was likely inspired by Dune.
-
Dune has been a novel for at least a decade, comrade.
Maybe longer, I'm not sure
But I know it's a damn long time.
i mean the dune movie that's releasing in like, 2 days
i can't imagine this to be a coincidence
Dune came out in like 1965
But I see no reason for it to explicitly be a crossover
Inspired? Sure. But not a crossover.
i'm not too keen on datamining though so i'm not gonna really try to dig up any sandworms on this
I give old sci-fi writers too little credit, it seems.
84
Oh
the
i'm stupid
Novel
you're right
worm cult
Is anyone doing Expedition things? What are we supposed to do with the eggy type things the Hungering Tentacles drop? I can't pick them up and they disappear before I can read.

Thank you!
Yw
I'm still pretty early in the new Expedition. Placing a base isn't really going to help with any of the milestones, right?
Nope
Thanks. Was almost expecting there to be an Expediton-related reason for being awarded with the plans and salvaged data.
Oh, duh, exocraft. That might justify creating a base.
FYI the expedition 5 file is just a dummy, almost an exact copy of expedition 3, so no advance data there
Am I overlooking an important breadcrumb trail, after reaching Rendezvous 2? None of the milestones jump out at me with a "Do this next!" flavor.
Nah ig they always do that
Well i kinda called it might be another hg troll
its not a coincidence, but its not an official collaboration or explicit reference, its just a kinda blunt nod at it
after all the new sandworm design is quite directly inspired
I just bought this unattractive bumblebee squid on the space station in Fensmidde for no reason except it's the first time a squid ever spawned for me in five years. (I think it's Rendezvous 1 system but I haven't landed on a planet yet)
Edit: it's one system before Rendezvous 1 assuming most of us get the same path marker.
I’m yet to a squid in the wild either 🤔
nice. on the plus side for at least some/one(?) of those years they didn't exist to miss!
so vile spawns are useless right?
outside of expedition? yes
I haven't yet gotten to that point. Assumed they would be used to tame worms in normal saves
So only way to get a worm "legitimately" is from expedition worms and their eggs?
no the only legit way is the expedition reward
the titan worm burrows are just a part of the expedition process and have nothing in relation with sandworm taming
Do those spawn in normal?
Even on the "cursed" planets?
There's so many nods to other Sci-Fi things, the R2 units on some ships, dune worms, Normandy, I see them all the time
there's no cursed planets in normal mode
its exclusive to expeditions
Significantly improved sandworm geometry and textures.
Significantly improved sandworm particle effects.
Improved a number of particle effects, including: combat frigate weapon flashes flashes, freighter explosions, distant laser impacts, creature digging effects, Sentinel Walker landing effects, meteors, and meteor impacts.
these are the only things that are common to all modes
aside from general optimizations and bugfixes
they are
kinda bugged though in the creature list
the final planet also has a new sandworm
Think the second last has this really cool snake type worm, reminded me of the E3 one
No cursed worlds outside of expedition mode? Can you verify this?
yes
its not in the patch notes
if it was a feature to the main game they would have listed it along with the rest
Interesting thing about the rendezvous systems, they have "Worm Infestation" or something similar next to their spectral class. Just a neat lil detail by HG
Hm... I'll leave that as a maybe, or at until I fly to one of the rendezvous systems in normal mode
when you do it doesnt have any of this info
Have you tried it?
yea
Well that's the easiest way to confirm
Pics?
Welp, one shot content again
Thanks HG!
I mean HG listens pretty well; if a lot of people ask for it in normal mode we might get it
Yeah I hope more and more people give them this feedback
Or maybe it'll appear when the expedition is over
The cursed dust etc doesn't have to be but at least the burrows should be there to make sandworms more interesting to chase around
I just like the increased frequency of sandworms
Makes it actually dangerous and cool to look at
Fightable Big Wormy Bois? 👀
I wonder if you can, after the expedition ends, transfer things like cursed dirt to normal mode players
I think it's fine for the expedition but I wouldn't want it to be this frequent otherwise, the camera shakes make me nauseous
I meant as a rare find; not on all planets with sandworms
Oh lol
this time I made a base in the system if anyone wants to compare something else
I'd definitely like certain planets to be heavily infested with them, more than what we see right now at least
Have the planet be very rare, but on them you could see the worms fairly regularly
like... worm planets perhaps? 
planets made out of worm?
I think itd be better to just add them to infested planets
With the frequency that they have in exped 4, as annoying as it is always getting your camera violently shook or getting launched into orbit
will i be able to go back to the first galaxy if I reset?
will my previous bases be lost
Yeah you can go back
does someone have a screenshot of the info box when starting the expedition?
clicked it away by accident
no the tutorial box after it
So after completing the expedition, is there any reason to keep the technology needed for it?
Maybe a secret 🤔 doubtful
Or even all those worm manuscripts
Not.. particularly - I'm keeping them as a memento.
That's what I'm thinking lol
so fighting the worms is exclusive to the expedition?
I think so. They’d make awesome additions to infested planets tho
guys i cant access the archive but i have the implant
Are you sure it installed? It's not just adding it onto the inventory, you have to 'craft' it with the components.
yes i did
Do you have the wormskins?
Not sure, don't remember now - should just need the Override installed & the Wormskins.
Check to see if you've gotten previous phases incomplete, maybe that'll move it forward.
Otherwise
!hg
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
ok i found another archive and it worked lmao
Same
where can i find fossils?
Meanwhile I spent over an hour yesterday making hyperdrive fuel and mining copper 
(question from -help) ... do we have a reference image with the glyphs/names of starter+rendezvous+atlas systems for exp4 yet?
Does anyone have planetary coordinates for the actual 5th rendezvous point? I've traveled THOUSANDS of units away from the "approximate location" and it's still too far for distance estimate ...
The new worms sites are TERRIFYING in vr
Just look for comm stations
Or bases
none of them are remotely close to the location
Is there a particular reason the Gek are afraid of synthetigeks?
Aside from them apparently being made by the Korvax (i.e. the race who literally rewrote their brain patterns toward trade).
A pile of comms stations along with a tight swarm of players is a good indicator
I don't even bother landing to use the target sweep. Just fly straight to the player comm ball pile
Do we even get to see them ingame?
Alien race home planets would be a dope addition
Asside from korvax prime, obviously
Maybe you could find broken chunks of Korvax Prime floating around where it used to be 👀
Iirc there was a reference to a planet like that in the abandoned building logs. Just seeing dark, ominous, shards of rock, core etc would be so cool 
Especially for the people who havent learned the fate of korvax prime yet haha, they go around visiting home planets and then see the remains, would be a memorable moment for a lot of players
Ooh wait there's a lot of interesting lore/ side missions HG could cook up with this. The anomaly simulation was retrieved from there, the livings ships come from ancient Korvax experiments. The Korvax tried replicating the Abyss in Weekend mission S2. What if we find more there 👀
Ohhhh shit! More lore is exactly what I've been wanting too! I feel like theres so much behind the scenes that we dont know about, I never knew some of the things your telling me bout tho, but they sound super interesting, where do you get your lore? I been looking for a good nms lore source
Ah if you don't care about getting spoiled, read through the wiki, and check out the Assistant For No Man's Sky app, it's got a lot of really interesting ones!
For example, there's a factory entry, where a factory produces Explorer ships. Plot Twist? Each explorer has a Korvax Echo inside, and is a living being
Ngl, lore is one part that feels sorta left on its own, along with exploration. Theres so much that the game tells us off handedly but we never see....
great tip about assistant app. ill have to check that out.
how do you do this one exactly?
I went to worms on the planet of the second rendezvous
but it didn't unlock
just need to go there right?
hmm that didn't do it 🤔
You gotta go there and kill all the worm things
There should be like 5 I think
You can see their heads barely poking outta the ground spewing sum green
@tepid iris
Pretty sure its gotta be on the same planet as your phases rendevouz
Yeah I think you gotta be on the rendezvous planet, each one is infested
Yeah so if you havent reached the second rendezvous point than do that and afterward there should be a nest nearby
There's a possible encounter with one that needs refueling at a minor settlement.
It's what spurred my question.
Don't have coordinates but I have a picture of where I found it.
Don’t know if this the right place but I need help I’m stuck on the expedition phase 4 forbidden words
I’m guessing I need navigation data
What is the requirement
I need to visit a planetary archive to read the writhing manuscript but I have no navigation data for the cartographer
And the ones that just cost Nanite are pretty useless leads me nowhere just repeats
You can get the nav data from the little desktop things on stations
Most have 3-5
Per station I mean, not each item that gives them
@icy citrus are you talking abut the trade terminals?
Nope, there are items to interact with in stations, on tables
Hmm better be looking around then
Yeah, just run about looking on the tables and desks, counter for one of the module vendors also
@icy citrus sorry to bug you again but do you recall which map has a chance for a planetary archive? There’s is secure site of interest, distress signal, inhabited outpost, ancient artifact spot, or there is just a settlement chart which I doubt is that one
commercial - inhabited
Thank you @icy citrus
No problem
Killed off Artemis today, felt like it was the right choice ngl
Monster.
How so?
The simulation just isn't the way to go
Have you beat the game?
I dont wanna spoil too far ahead is why I'm asking @undone matrix
No
Ahhh gotcha, nvm then
Bud
Guys how do I find a planetary archive
finally finished the expedition
or put on sunglasses amd find those ancient data structures
(use sunglasses those things are bright as hell)
does anybody know who artemis is?
a member of the traveler race
what is his role in the story?
to hint that boundaries between realities are starting to fail
past, present and future ones
Cool, don't bring it here though.
@supple crater well then, moderate the gorram RV points....
Did you play her story?
This is the best way to get an understanding for her character tbh
||I didn't understand a thing from that except that he is lost and needs a rescue haha||
Do I need to keep the liquid sun for the expedition at all or can I sell it?
Liquid sun's only use is the living ship quest, so unless you want to do that after you can sell it. Within the expedition it's useless
If you keep it in storage, you can save a step later on when you're on the Starbirth quest
Same goes for the Hexite

Thanks a bunch! Didn't know about that command lol
What am i supposed to do with all the purple items i got during expedition? They are not worth much so i thought i would need the later on...
But im done now and they were never needed
Ok so yeet them?
Ye, try refining em tho, might give Nanites not sure
They dont...thx tho
I usually put them in storage containers
yo uh, i've just realized something
the portal sequence, even the animation
||is this game basically a stargate reference?||
lol
Is the blessed by the titan worm condition in any way a foreshadowing of something?
It makes my Citizens happy so that's good but it sounds hella suspicious
Is it a vykeen settlement?
korvax
it's an every space reference
They're about to go stand in a line and feed themselves to it 
depends on how you measure worth
Im doing the no man's sky story and it says to go to the galaxy centre to kill everything or something about purge. Does it purge everything when I get to the centre?
No
Phew
lol
it should make that more clear but also its like that to make the story make sense
NMS is one giant love letter to science fiction as a whole.
Are the crazy worm planets only available through the expedition saves?
@rich silo dreams of the deep is the quest for the nautilon submarine and an introduction to how underwater stuff works
So I just finished Expedition 4, and although I did enjoyed it, I was expecting a little notch up on the narrative part
HG announces it as "our first Expedition to feature a narrative" but I've spent most of the expedition wondering what the hell was going on. The ||folios and writhing manuscript|| didn't added up beyond small cultish flavor
I think the gist of it is that the traveller arrives at that planet, is utterly confused by the worms and just decided to investigate them a bit to see what's up with that.
that was the narrative
each phase gave you a folio that had a bit of the story written
and also the archive that went more in depth
its a self contained story, not part of the main narrative
Yeah, I've noticed the breadcrumbs of story, but I would not put that as a selling point of that expedition. It literally stands out in the intro description at the NMS site, and that was what misled me into expecting more of the narrative. As a feature, I found it lackluster because it barely explains what happened 😐
It's fine if you thought the presentation of the story was boring but I really wouldn't say it barely explained anything
also the selling point of the expedition were the updated sandworms and those monsters that would spawn
I really enjoyed the “narrative” side. I want to line up beneath a worm and hope I get eaten like those VyKeen would so long ago. \😆/
just noticed that atlas interfaces are very radioactive and toxic with 19.9 on both
shouldn't you die inside of them then
19.9 is kinda low?
the hazard values are kinda just flavor tbh. The lethality is more or less arbitrary, since the standard non-lethal values are also just...There
If my dumbass was playing this game at an earlier age, I would have been like: "Isn't radioactive and toxic the same thing?"
In internet terms? Yes.
So does anyone know what the next update will hold?
No
I think they were asking this more in relation to whether anything had been datamined, and to that I'm not sure.
Last I vaguely remember was simply a placeholder bit of stuff for the next expedition, but I'm not sure if anything else new surfaced alongside that.
So odd how the station override just never got used for anything
Lots of stuff this year that didn't lead anywhere....
HG sponsoring old and new YouTubers to play NMS seemed like a big one
But that lead to nothing ...
Welp Frontiers is still new, might be waiting till Xmas for whatever comes next
that was just for the anniversary
What’s the other stuff?
well so far we still dont have a use for basalt
Wait really?
Apparently yea lol
Ohhh I was wondering what that did! Sad to hear it does nothing lmao
aside from that its just some datamines that historically hasnt been consistent on when they would be added in
Datamining page is pretty out of date btw, if anyone heads there
yeah
Did a lil bit of cleaning up there with some model pics and some more of the wormhole stuff but still pretty incomplete
FLEET_WORMHOLE honestly just looks like an intervention event
Didn’t even know there was a datamine website hahahaha
Since the next string in the vein just says "The commander turns to their crew and prepares to warp"
But that doesn't seem to tie in with the other bits....
Weird
Might've been a placeholder for when HG was testing those?
I like how internally the game is a bit of a mystery too, very fitting
Tell me bout it 
MonkeyMan mapping structs and Updatting MBINC is the only reason you get mods and dataminers my friend
I can’t wait for the next expedition, this one was a lot of fun
Go thank the dude for it
HG seems pretty focused on doing those. They have (a placeholder clone of expedition 3) file for expedition 5 in there
Yeah I’ve just started dabbling in modding the game, it’s awesome what a lot of you have accomplished with it
And apparently place for 2 more expeditions at least in the immediate future probably
wish more could be done too, hoping HG is actually working on modding support judging from the folders
and not some other thing
Those have been pretty weirdly updated lol. It's like HG is working in it, but has been working on it for a long time
I’m just glad they don’t punish anyone for modding
It's a creative thing, banning people for modding would be nuts
Especially if they mod without any support from you, and add content
Or do you mean save editing?
they only punish if you exploit the game to grief others (if someone did properly report the player)
I love that you can still play online even with save editing and modding since if doesn’t affect anyone else. Such a good stance to have
This makes sense
HG does good on their online policy.
you cant do nexus missions with certain mods iirc
But gruefers still do shit
the terrain gen ones
Can't wipe em out tho, shitheads still find a way
I've never tried mp properly bur isnt there a setting to block a user
saw a blocklist
Exactly, which is why I’m so impressed and happy HG doesn’t punish the majority who are just having fun for the minority of asses
There is, but I don't think that removes em from the immediate session?
Didn't work in the expedition at least
@mighty rampart I’ve heard about not being able to do those terrain Gen ones! Isn’t that only with mods that affect generation?
Anything affecting placement could mess with em
yeah mods that affect terrain gen
Ahhh I see
I’m perfectly happy with the vanilla generation, so I don’t mess with that
They’ve REALLY improved it from 1.0 lol
Kinda felt more alien then tho tbh
But again was also pretty glitchy lol
Wish snaking terrain was still in.....
Whatever HG does for terrain is crazy weird. Jasondude's duds sky is insanely well done, and seeing how complex terrain generation is that's insane
Oh yea, Huge Arches/ Huge Arches prime... Not sure which grid feature is the snake itself though...
Goddamn is it insanely complex
Accidentally recreated one of those dead, slightly flat desolate planets from long ago
Trying to get that terrain back
This is getting too #nms-modding related tho so I'll see myself out
since when did they have any online tos?
They ban people for griefing. Thats the only thing I know bout that lol
Still kinda confused about the whole new ban feature added in experimental. What can get people banned. Where can I see a list of online rules?
the feature is only that you now get to know why multiplayer isnt working for you
online rules is part of the EULA
Code Of Conduct
What's a Divergence Cube?
its an item you get when doing the storyline and at the part where you're trying to get your korvax reputation up to talk to the guild NPC
hm
they also gave it during expeditions for the funnies
They should give the Vykeen tablet next...since that's the one with the underwater ruin bug lol
5.2 is enough to activate hazard protection
for tempature thats low
just went to another one and its at 21.4
ok rip
||can anyone spoil me why nada and apollo reached enlightenment that they knew a bit more than they should?||
Atlas error go brrr
They are technically an anomaly in the universe, probably caused by the malfunctioning Atlas, that's why the Atlas wants to eradicate them
interesting
Who is Nada talking about when he says "Missing-Entity"?
-null-
I was wondering why I was mostly fighting security bots on this derelict.
These terminals really bring me back to my System Shock 2 days.
Anyone know how long it takes to get all the glyphs and how long the artemis questline is?
Do you already have some glyphs?
i just got my first one off a traveler
then you can warp randomly to any new solar sytems, every warp gives you one glyph
like just using the one glyph? im not too sure how you mean
I mean with ship warp, you don't need portal
oh really? like i dont have to even get a spawn or anything?
you just need to acces galactic map when in space and warp anywhere, wait couple of seconds to receive new glyph, warp to another system and repeat 
kinda anticlimactic, but yeah, no portal hunt needed
wow ty!
no problemo, another way is to ask other travellers where they came from and they will give you coordinates to traveller grave in your current system if I remember correctly
yeah thats how i got my first one
but it gets repetitive over time, nothing wrong with that if you don't need glyphs at the moment, I raided a lot of sentinel factories to get all valuable recipies one by one instead of buying them on Anomaly for example
Was talking about this in #no-mans-sky , might as well repost it in here because I think it could start an interesting discussion
There's a bit of tonal whiplash when you decide to finish the atlas path when it gives you the chance before the end of Artemis. From what I remember, you basically go from not liking the atlas in Artemis path to worshipping it in Atlas Path, and then back to not liking it in the end of Artemis Path
It's been a while since I played either story so correct me if I'm wrong
Does anyone else feel this way?
now that you mention it, yeah
sort of a result of them being from different authors/writers, even after some revisions to Atlas Path after Atlas Rises (if memory serves)
Tbh I don't recall Atlas Path as worship so much as begrudging submission, but I may be mixing up iterations of it. When taking into account other info regarding the Atlas alongside those two, I always get the impression of a general skepticism/distrust of Atlas overall.
There's some tinges of sympathy/pity it seems like it's trying to stir up in spots, but how far that goes will depend on your read of the situation I think
That... is genuinely disturbing.
I played this to take a break from Dead Space, not stumble into the aftermath of it.
just figured out that doing a freighter salvage (any freighter) while on the step that requires you to find Nada's crashed freighter, will only reward you with log encryption keys
So did we find anything interesting in the files after the worm update?
Nope, as far as I remember
Well depends on what you call Interesting
Nothing related to any new/ upcoming stuff sadly
HG is good at hiding their work
Station override is the longest running troll
spanning all the way back to Prisms.
which isn't that long tbh but still.
aight, spoil me, ||ATLAS is the AI or "Admin" of the whole universe right?||
||Or is he the "antivirus"?||
Atlas made and maintains the simulations.
i finished it today i was tempted to wipe atlas but i pressed no and just restarted it :p
anyone figured out yet what galaxy of all 257 that has the most varied planets?
also is it somehow still possible to reach galaxy more than 257?
other subject entirely: why seemly working for the traveller destroyes the lives of the workers?
There's four types: one with the planet distribution of Euclid, one biased towards lush planets, one biased towards extreme hazards, and one biased towards dead and exotic planets.
Why'd you put the spoiler blot in a spoiler chat?
Fair enough
no because they dont exist there's only 256
unless you go play 1.2 or lower
oh right if you already have an old save you could still be there
or save editing
i thought that was the portals 
can anyone tell me what's in the water exactly?
is it poisonous?
why is water seem to be the number one killer in the nms universe?
I don't think it's literal
Seems more like their version of "drinking the kool-aid"
The deadly Dihydrogen monoxide!
we deal with a lot of anomalous stuff in nms that, in lore at least, has killed a lot of people. we’re just built different
do whichever you decide, would you rather have him live in a fake world and potentially let him discover this and live forever in pain or let him die
i don’t like it when this question is asked and people usher others into one option over the other
the point is for the morality behind it to be nebulous
the reasoning behind both are valid
it “doesn’t matter” in a multitude of ways
but also matters in some
if you catch my drift
yeah

the quest only affects my feelings
@sullen mulch
i personally don’t understand peoples reasoning behind letting her die
but i wouldn’t want my inability to “get it” affect others choice
just for me personally, i don’t get it
my reasoning is that they will inevitably realize that theyre living a lie, which is pretty fucked up
||even tho thats hypocritical when you eventually realize the whole universe is a simulation||
oop might wanna spoil that
since comrade hasn’t gotten there
just for the time being
yeah good idea
fake or not. lie or truth, does it really matter? what you perceive enters your brain and produces real emotions
i think death eliminates any possibility of that net positive
iirc, it was nada who said the simulation would be only one system
but it would be enough to keep an explorer like artemis satiated
yeah its just korvax prime
._.
.___.
with that in mind, fake or not, artemis is happy exploring
who cares if it’s fake
they’re happy
THATS what matters!
yeah but theyre inevitably gonna figure out that none of it is real and then it just becomes empty
lmao
that’s up to the individual to determine whether they valued their time in said simulation
do they have the self awareness to see that they were happy in the time spent thinking it was real
just because you KNOW it’s fake doesn’t make how you FELT any less real
Death is still a better alternitave.
yeah true, i just feel like putting artemis in the simulation gives potential for them to just live in hell, since theyre a traveller and all
how
like its either death or potential eternal suffering
@sullen mulch
Allow me to explain.
In the simulation, he will inevitably explore all he can, and then he will feel empty. He would most likely try to end it by killing himself. If it fails, he will know it is a simulation, and will feel trapped. Ultimately, the only good end is death, because your time there is up. You've done what you've wanted to. You can't live in a fabricated reality forever, and not because it's fake. It's because you can't live forever. Eventually... everything dies off. Even if the physical shell does not deplete... Their soul will. Their consciousness. They will become a husk.
@uncut harness
imma be real
but i don’t blame you since you didn’t finish the game
the whole argument falls flat once you get to a certain point
Go ahead and tell me.
I'm like, half into the story and I already figured out this existence is fake
