@cedar hollow

[cedar hollow]

Damnit

[arctic pecan]

Best bet is hoping HG makes another rerun

[cedar hollow]

I was told that would be this one and got super freaking excited

[arctic pecan]

Or mods if ur on pc

[cedar hollow]

Nah I play on ps4

[arctic pecan]

Ah, hope for a rerun then

[cedar hollow]

Yeah

[arctic pecan]

This is the 2nd, so its not that unlikely

[cedar hollow]

Yeah. Personally I love mass effect so I really want it XD still working on my playthroughs of legendary edition

[arctic pecan]

Its a very good frigate, the only bad thing is that you cant get inside

[cedar hollow]

Aww, seriously?

[arctic pecan]

Yeahh, you just have it and send it to expeditions like other frigates

[cedar hollow]

Aww, wait...

So... It's not the big frigate?

So you're telling me...

I can pilot a star destroyer, while commanding the n1 Normandy!!?

[arctic pecan]

Pretty much

It'll be floating there in the back of your freighter among your other frigates

[ebon inlet]

No man´s sky story is underrated

I havent even finished it yet

[charred shale]

yeah it's pretty good actually. I enjoyed it at least

[slender creek]

Bruh the void egg missions take a total of 4 days to mature?!?!

[faint mortar]

quick question about galaxy nr 59 . is it Tranquil Lush ?

coz if im going galaxyhopping , im gonna skip Eissentam

[uncut harness]

Just lush. Tranquil is a fluff term

It’s no more lush than eissentam

[ebon inlet]

The atlas offered me to die, what happens if i say yes?

or rather

will it impact the game?

[cyan mauve]

@ebon inlet may i ask why upload+lies? as in, what were your reasons?

[ebon inlet]

Reason was that i wanted Artemis to be happy, but then i noticed that they could still talk to me and i didnt want to do that to them when they were talking about being happy and all

What about you?

[cyan mauve]

@ebon inlet do the recent ... revelations in the storyline change your opinion about the "lies" decision?

[ebon inlet]

Makes me feel less guilty about it, basically Artemis just has a smaller simulation to explore

[cyan mauve]

i tend to pick "upload and truth", because from my pov its not for me to make these choices for them, but they only can make their own choices when knowing the truth.

[ebon inlet]

I understand, thanks

[cyan mauve]

if you pick truth, they will be (understandably) upset about it at first, but then get around to "oh well, there are things to explore here too" and be happy about that.

[ebon inlet]

Btw, why does the Atlas thing look like the thing we see in the beginning of the game?

That distress signal or something

[cyan mauve]

probably because some content designer was lazy. 😄

[ebon inlet]

Okay

[cyan mauve]

@ebon inlet how do you feel about the storylines discoveries? the whole "finding out you are living in a simulation" thing?

[ebon inlet]

I love the story

I think the game was already hinting at the big revelation

And all these discoveries made me appreciate the game a lot

But after finding it out i dont feel satisfied for some reason

I mean

Is it about how even with that being a fact, that the friendsships still remain? Or that it doesnt matter at all?

Being able to speculate on it all also is nice

[cyan mauve]

@ebon inlet lets take a step back for a moment. if we dont know anything about the technology of the simulation, does it seem plausible // fair to assume that a simulation will get slower in places where it has to simulate a lot of objects, compared to other places where it has to simulate fewer objects?

[ebon inlet]

Yes?

Makes sense

[cyan mauve]

cool. i agree. now ... do you know what effect "gravity" has on "time"? 😄

[ebon inlet]

I think so

[green folio]

Ngl, thought atlas was a antagonist for a while there

[ebon inlet]

Actually, no, im not sure, i just heard it a lot of times

[cyan mauve]

what happens is that higher gravity means slower time. if you take two super-precise clocks, set them to exactly the same time, and move one up to the moon, and keep the other on earth, the one on the moon will run faster.

[ebon inlet]

Thanks

[cyan mauve]

(the classic experiment for that didnt even use the moon, they just did fly around one of the clocks in a plane, really high up)

[ebon inlet]

Alright

What is your theory?

More mass in the universe make 16 minutes for the atlas be more for us?

[cyan mauve]

no theory really. just that if you combine that with the "a simulation will run slower where it has lots of objects to simulate" can be pretty much interpreted as a sign that we are inside a simulation. 😄

because more gravity means places with more reality-pixels, aka particles/atoms/stuff.

[ebon inlet]

Oh

Damn that sounds cool

Thanks, i like that idea

[cyan mauve]

@ebon inlet "explaining" this to people who decided to let artemis die "because living in a simulation is not worth living" is much more fun tbh. 😄

[ebon inlet]

I agree, ill try that on my friends if they ever decide to finish no man´s sky

Btw

Is it a copy of Artemis or their soul?

[cyan mauve]

what is the difference? if you have the technology to "copy" a person, atom-by-atom identical, and do that, whats the difference between the original and the "copy"? they start out having the same mind-state in the moment of copying too. so they feel they are the same person. which of them owns their bank account? 😉

[ebon inlet]

Yes, but i feel as though what happened was more of like, we copied everything about them and put the code into the mashine to start simulating her

or them

Him?

[cyan mauve]

them.

one of the nice things about NMS is that it is ... very, very gender neutral.

in a way that is not annoying.

[ebon inlet]

Alien biology

I like it too

[cyan mauve]

can you name the one situation in the game where the dialog may not be fully gender neutral?

[ebon inlet]

Well, some chars feel like they have genders to me, but aside from that not really, they just refer to themselves and others by their names or "They"

[cyan mauve]

there is one part in the exocraft-tech missions that doesnt feel fully gender neutral.

[ebon inlet]

Oh

You know that part

When you talk to that gek

[cyan mauve]

(but the exocraft tech missions feel like they were added later and by a different person than the rest to begin with)

[ebon inlet]

And theyre like "All was made long ago" and "I was searching for you"

And later they say it was your son?

[cyan mauve]

oh? no, not familiar with that particular part.

[ebon inlet]

Its for the building part

[cyan mauve]

will keep my eyes open on my next full playthrough, thanks for the hint.

[ebon inlet]

||Where you hire some workers||

[cyan mauve]

no need to tag it in this channel. 😄

[ebon inlet]

You thanked me for the hint

Maybe you didnt want to know the specifics

[cyan mauve]

i have "played through NMS" several times, i just like to redo that every now and then to see what has changed, because it helps with ... #nms-questions ... which is my main stomping ground on this server.

[ebon inlet]

Cool, im sure the people appreciate it

[charred shale]

Funny thing is that I decided to let Artemis die, but my reasoning was the same as yours. Keeping them in the simulation instead of letting them die felt wrong to me. Like I didn't feel right making the decision at all, but I came at it with the perspective that death isn't so terrible, and that if it was their time I had no right keeping them alive artificially. Of course, this was before I had learned about the Atlas Simulation, but to be honest I don't think I would change my decision and I definitely don't regret my decision

[cyan mauve]

valid decision.

@charred shale my "not my decision" rationale there goes in a direction of ... uh ... if you are a medic and "find" a victim of a horrible accident, you keep them alive too, its not your call to make whether they want to live disfigured // missing various limbs. first you make sure they get out of the current bad situation, they can make that decision for themselves later. artemis situation before the mind-arc felt like that to me. they were clearly in a bad place, and wanted out.

[charred shale]

that totally makes sense! I was definitely taking a more personal involvement in their life than what was probably appropriate. I was coming from the POV similarily to a family member who has to make the decision to take their brain dead sibling off life support. I like the "medic not making these decisions for their patients" perspective a lot

[cyan mauve]

yeah, "brain dead" is a whole different problem, one i am happy to not ever have to make.

[charred shale]

i also didnt realize I would get a chance to talk to them and tell them they are in a simulation. That would make that decision easier to swallow

[cyan mauve]

the plain out weirdest take on that i have seen so far was someone who decided to "upload" and "truth", but their reason was "so they would suffer more". uh, wat?

[charred shale]

Psychopath! wth did Artemis ever do to them?

[cyan mauve]

@uncut harness may i ask why?

[uncut harness]

why what

[cyan mauve]

why you decided to let artemis die.

it doesnt matter for your continued gameplay, dont worry.

just curious.

[uncut harness]

it said he would be sad in the sim

[cyan mauve]

thanks for the answer. just keep playing.

[green folio]

I put Artemis in the sim. I very much regretted it later in the story tho

[arctic pecan]

What actually is the infected/corrupted stuff covering some buildings, dont feel like i got an answer to that through the story

Its like there's a disease like Halo's flood, taking over even space stations that no one seems to care about

[uncut harness]

nanite foam

[arctic pecan]

Those are just nanites?

[uncut harness]

Yeah

Nanites are just… technology goop for lack of a better term

It’s why they’re used in the “purchasing” of technology

But they can react with organic matter

The Korvax cartographer you speak to in the main story for instance reveals their race’s past in slavery through nanites

putting it in your system and changing your brain with memories that aren’t yours

[arctic pecan]

I do know that, they straight up killed themselves to pour the nanites inside their bodies into Gek breeding pools
But if something so radical only changed the way they think so the Gek would set the Korvax free eventually
What even happened to start the horrific mutations?

[uncut harness]

Nanite outbreak

The nanites you and I use are very stable.

Nanite foam however is a terrifying substance. Extremely reactive to organic matter

I like to think, considering that it’s research facilities/observatories/what have you that are often infested with the stuff

that nanite foam got loose while a handful of researchers inhabited the outpost

It got on one of them, mutated their insides, and they exploded

The nanite foam all inhabiting their organic matter, consuming and mutating it, eventually turning the walls from red (or whatever color these species’ blood is) to the unsightly green we see

[arctic pecan]

Hmm i see, i guess thats understandable
Would like some more official details eventually, if i like a game's lore i tend to really look into it and the specifics

[uncut harness]

Feel free to. I haven’t payed attention to the fallen traveller logs all too much outside of the Crimson Orb arc

[eternal radish]

Actually, the reality Artemis lives in is just as real as thr one your character inhabits.

[cyan mauve]

the point there is that both may be just as real as the one the player inhabits. 😉

[eternal radish]

I am aware of that. Some scientists speculate we are living in a simulation. For some reason that idea doesn’t upset me at all. I only hate it when people justify others’ suffering and gaslight them because “none of this is real”, but that’s another story, let’s not get into that 🤷🏻‍♀️.
Even if we are living in a simulation it’s still real for us.

[eternal radish]

If only we could transfer Artemis to OUR simulation I’d be a happy gal 🥰🤗

[eternal radish]

There are plenty of people who hate Artemis for some weird reason I don’t understand. I understand for people who have been playing the game since it’s release before there was a storyline, people who suddenly got a distress call and got in contact with someone in distress, only to find out they supposedly died, are bummed by that but hey it’s not Artemis’ fault that a portal collapsed. Don’t blame them. Bad shit can happen to all of us 🤷🏻‍♀️

[green folio]

Thank you for clearing that up. Had no idea it was just nanites

[faint mortar]

hi all good people ! im bit concerned about my Starbirth mission

im at the very final stage and heading to claim and fit my ship

and after 62 jumps , im still not there

is this normal ?

im in galaxy nr 10

kinda assumed it would be few jumps , but this is taking ages

[icy citrus]

Yeah hi

Does your egg have text like: Hunter Star over water etc?

@faint mortar

[faint mortar]

yup

im concerned about the last 3 words there , its euclid euclid euclid

i seriously hope it doesnt guide me back to that galaxy

[icy citrus]

Yes, you need to use a portal in Euclid

[faint mortar]

sighs

[icy citrus]

The text is the names of the glyphs needed for the address

[faint mortar]

thanks

just thinking why does the mission give me guide of jump chains then ?

[icy citrus]

It is bad pathing

Might even be to the core, no clue where it is trying to lead you if you aren't in Euclid

[faint mortar]

well thanks for helpful tips , gonna go and test euclid now

[icy citrus]

No problem, and if you have an issue sorting out the names, check the pins here

@supple crater

😛

[faint mortar]

any living shi experts awake here ? need tips about colors

im at the stage when i collect 3rd soul and diconnect the communicator to fly to better coloured planet

but i have no control over it

the ship will still spawn randomly

got pink-white and gray , and brown so far

im aiming for blue

[faint mortar]

no blue yet , but i got Black + with pink stripes , guess im ok with that one too

[charred shale]

black with pink stripes sounds really awesome

[faint mortar]

it is but im still craving for blue :/ , can i have a second quest done after first ?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2709283194&tscn=1641420245

that picture of my living ship

also as this is spoilers channel , i might suggest you guys upgrade your freighter storage extensions with bulkheads while your living ship in in hangar landed

you get free storage slots upgraded for living ship for free at same time 😄

[heady wyvern]

If you buy a second egg, you'll be directed to another Living Ship host, without the issue of going though the quest again. You'll need to pay a 10k nanite fee in order to activate your ship, though.

[faint mortar]

yup i got 5 of them now

but its hard to get the right coloring

you can change the colour by not finishing quest and saving and trying different planets

[uncut harness]

I have been looking for that shit for a very long time. HAHAH

[final oar]

imagine achieving immortality and a big ball tells you its god

[charred shale]

I'm still a bit confused about the sentinels. Are they created by the Atlas to protect itself? or are they from outside the simulation? What is the Atlas opinions about them? If it was mentioned during the story, I missed it

[uncut harness]

Atlas subprotocol designed to limit interference with its creation from intelligent life.

It’s why they don’t like it when species build settlements

and why they don’t like it when u brek rok

They’re all disrupting the integrity of the Atlas’ creation

[charred shale]

that's what i was inferring, but was looking for confirmation. tysm

[eternal radish]

So all species should life a prehistoric lifestyle?

[uncut harness]

Akin to the species you and I document on planets

That is what the Atlas prefers

[eternal radish]

Then why did Atlas create sentient life?

[icy citrus]

To get to the other side

[eternal radish]

Also, matter doesn't vanish. It just changes state, so what's Atlas' point? Lol

[uncut harness]

The emergence of intelligence has the possibility of challenging the Atlas, which very much did happen. Nada opposes the Atlas. The Vykeen have had a war against it spanning many many years.

The Atlas didn’t create sentient life

Sentience within the Vykeen, Gek, and Korvax is a constant no matter how many times the universe is reset

And their evolution and histories play out the same too

Leads me to believe it’s out of the Atlas’ control

Those three emerging from whatever primordial state they came is just a constant in the simulation

[eternal radish]

Is this a fan theory?

[uncut harness]

No

[charred shale]

So, an Atlas cultist would not want to build a settlement and may actively resent civilized space?

[uncut harness]

The story itself says that the three races are a constant

[eternal radish]

Yet Atlas creates Travellers to explore itself who need SPACESHIPS, TECHNOLOGY and RESOURCES in order to explore.

[uncut harness]

that u buy

[eternal radish]

Also, aren't the Korvax who worship the Atlas a ROBOTIC/TECHNOLOGICAL race?

[uncut harness]

no need to destroi

[eternal radish]

Or mine.

When it comes to resources.

To make technology

[charred shale]

they are more than robots. they are souls in a mechanical husk. they also abhor terraforming

[uncut harness]

Not all the Korvax worship the Atlas

[eternal radish]

I know

[eternal radish]

Most do

[uncut harness]

I’m speaking on a whim here. I don’t believe your ship at the beginning is supposed to be damaged

If that weren’t the case, a traveller could serve the Atlas without upsetting it in any way.

Scan the creatures on the planet they start on, make some early moolah. Fly to the nearest space station. Buy necessities (oxygen, dihydrogen, etc.) from the trade terminal onboard, and youre pretty much set

[eternal radish]

And yet it generates broken starships, which requires resources.

Though resources on spacestations are expensive. Harvesting is free and abundant.

[uncut harness]

Yes and I’m saying i don’t think that’s intentional. There’s a reason the player is the “last traveller”. Something is wrong with the simulation, and spawning the player in was unfinished- reflective of the atlas’ degrading state

[eternal radish]

But what about the evolution of the races. Was that supposed to happen? Them rising to the stars?

[charred shale]

seeing as all the simulations have the races in space stations I would say yes

[uncut harness]

I reckon Travellers are supposed to spawn with a functioning ship

[eternal radish]

Or should Gek, Vy'Keen and Korvax have remained monke?

[eternal radish]

Yet the Atlas doesn't want it's terrain to be altered, which happens when gathering resources for ships.

[charred shale]

we are ignoring the fact that Atlas' creator may have programmed in challenges for the Atlas. things that arent ideal for the atlas, but might improve the atlas

[eternal radish]

Unless the three races spawned with technology but according to their lore that did not happen.

[charred shale]

like a chaotic variable like sentience

[eternal radish]

Sentient life. It challenges, yet serves the Atlas. I suppose this is how it works?

[eternal radish]

I see. Without challenges Atlas might get "lazy".

Also, you build a base and Sentinels don't bat an eye. You gather a bit of ferrite dust and they lose their shit.

[charred shale]

and I'm just spitballing now. I don't know how true that is and don't know anything at all about Atlas' creator

[eternal radish]

It's all just speculation after all 🤷🏻‍♀️

[charred shale]

right. i think this is a game mechanics thing and not a lore decision

i agree 100% though

[eternal radish]

Atlas is drunk lol

It just needs to lay off the booze and everything is fine 🤣

[digital oyster]

Why 16?

[uncut harness]

because theres 16 minutes until the universe ends

[digital oyster]

Ik but why 16 min?

Devs fav number? Or some lore thing I don’t understand

[uncut harness]

Why do my chicken fajitas have 20 seconds left on the timer?

Thats just the time left when you discovered the atlas was dying

[digital oyster]

Sooo lore thing

[uncut harness]

There is no reason

That's literally just the time you stumbled across

plus its convenient since the game uses a hexadecimal coordinate system

can just make both 16 and make it look like it was all planned

[sterile smelt]

the creator is coming

[vague oriole]

It could be just because hexadecimal

Since the atlas is a computer and computers represent numbers in hexadecimal

(at least at the lowest somewhat human readable level)

The atlas counting from 16 would be the equivalent of counting from 10

[hollow oxide]

I assumed it's because 16 is half a byte

[green folio]

Who are the floating guys at when you are about to reset the atlas

I can’t send pic

[charred shale]

they are reffering to this image I had posted

I'll let some else explain because I'm not great at explaining things

short answer is that they are the three sentient races

[green folio]

So that’s where the atlas creates all the races?

That the source that the atlas uses to create them?

[final oar]

im pissed

i reset the simulation and now almost all my shit is broken

[charred shale]

Like I said I'm not the best at explaining, but it's my understanding that these are like the original/back up copies of the sentient races. these races that are hard coded into the Atlas and not something the Atlas procedurally generates, like planetary fauna. I think of it like a computer file containing the "blueprints" for the three sentient races (note that some of what I said is speculation, the game is rather mysterious about it)

[green folio]

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up

[eternal radish]

I haven't come across this type of interface in my last gameplay. Is it normal you don't encounter all Atlas interface types?

This interface type is is creepy but also the most interesting one.

[charred shale]

i don't have a knowledgeable answer, only speculation, but the Atlas interfaces seem to be chosen randomly. Ive gotten the red orb twice in a row before.

[eternal radish]

I wonder if the beings are wearing any clothes lol.

[charred shale]

So, is it speculation or supported by in game lore that the player characters were basically atlas creating a way to explore it self. I'm also curious why there are the different appearances of traveler's even though there is supposedly only the three sentient races. I still don't understand travelers

[arctic pecan]

I'd like to know that too, considering how most anomalies look way too strange and advanced for any of the three races capabilities

[faint mortar]

ho many normandy frigates can one player own at same time ?

[arctic pecan]

One, unless you are on pc and use mods/save editor
Also not really the chat for that question

[faint mortar]

so if i already have one and i buy another myth beacon , it fails?

[arctic pecan]

You cant buy another one, and it only works in the expedition that already ended

[faint mortar]

whats the point of being able to buy it then ?

i understood that you finish the expedition , it turns into normal save , and now you unlocked the ability to obtain it in other gamemodes

coz normal is nto for my taste

[arctic pecan]

In case you somehow lose it or the quest glitches

[faint mortar]

i like survival

[arctic pecan]

Point is, only one, mods for more
Thats it

[faint mortar]

so in survival and permadeath modes you cannot have normandy without cheats/mods ?

[arctic pecan]

You can get one on each save

[faint mortar]

thanks for clarifying

[arctic pecan]

No prob
Ask in #nms-questions in the future, this is the story related channel

[long quail]

So what does the ktzzz mean in NMS? I beat the main storylines I just dunno what it means? Is it like the Atlas dying? If so why is it dying? I didnt understand why when i played through it

[uncut harness]

Kzzt is not static

though certainly posed to be initially. it’s the sound of the universe breaking down

Which subsequently equals the atlas dying

And as for “why”? Because all things are destined to die at some point. Godly entities running universe simulations included.

[eternal radish]

"The sound of waking". I'm curious what's meant with "waking" here. I have my own thoughts about it but I'm curious about your perspectives.

[sterile smelt]

basically the thing thats pooping on the atlas

atlas can reset but its not a fix meaning its coming
its not affected by Atlas reset

[eternal radish]

A reality outside the simulation?

[sterile smelt]

probably
but waking as in something waking up i assume so or its just wordy word #mysterious

can say as
waking
as a start of Atlas's Demise
but ill believe in my thought for now (which something is waking up)

[eternal radish]

The Atlas' creator maybe?

[sterile smelt]

who knows
idk why she would say waking if she is talking about kzzkt (my eyes are on fire)

[eternal radish]

I think the text in the dark grey bar are the thoughts of your character.

[sterile smelt]

Oh t-t

[eternal radish]

This is the rest of the convo.

[thorny locust]

Question about the end of the Artemis questline: The wiki notes that selecting to go to another galaxy may make "any non-explored galaxy appear to be unreachable via warp after this point", and I've seen other sources of varying age talk about portals being broken after galactic travel. Is any of that true still?

[eternal radish]

I don't know, sorry.

[icy citrus]

No

[thorny locust]

So I could safely decide to end the quest by picking a lush galaxy, end up warping to Eiss, set up a little holder base and then go back and derp about in Euclid for a good long while before really exploring Eis?

[icy citrus]

You can freely travel to other galaxies you have visited, join someone in or do a galactic core warp to. Portals have no restrictions other than they are only intragalactic

[icy citrus]

Yes

[thorny locust]

Ah, it sounded like you could always warp to your own bases cross-galaxy.

[icy citrus]

Exactly

[icy citrus]

Nope, that was added in later versions of Next

Initially with bases we could only have 1 at a time

Then next added lots more, and eventually removed portal restrictions

[thorny locust]

But can you warp between inter-galaxy to your own bases, or just your bases in the current galaxy?

[icy citrus]

You can use the teleporters across galaxies, but not the planet portals

So I can teleport to any of my bases in the 19 galaxies I have them in

[thorny locust]

Neat.

How does freighter retrieval work cross-galaxy? I have a few bases here and there, mostly as production depots, but my freighter is essentially what I do all my traveling in.

[icy citrus]

Freighter can be summoned wherever you are

You can even use it now to do core warps

As in, get to the center of a galaxy and warp

[thorny locust]

Nice, I may just do that. I thought there might be some restriction since I've had it not work in distant parts of the same galaxy. Wasn't sure how it'd react trying to drag it between them.

[icy citrus]

Nope, easily summoned without any restriction other than the need for the hyper drive to reach any color star

[thorny locust]

Maybe I just hadn't fully upgraded the drive when I tried it, I assumed it was a range issue and I had to be within hyperdrive distance of its location.

[icy citrus]

If you have the indium drive installed, you can go/summon anywhere with it

Freighter has no distance restriction as far as summoning it goes

[thorny locust]

It was right after I got it, so I'm guessing that was my mistake. Thanks for the info, makes it a lot less of a worry to just run through the rest of the quest.

[icy citrus]

No problem at all

[eternal radish]

Seems like I joined NMS at the right time 😁

[icy citrus]

😄

[eternal radish]

How many bases can you have at max?

[long quail]

So since we changed galaxy is the Atlas still dying?

[eternal radish]

Yes and... No?

[uncut harness]

The Atlas is fated to die. That’s just how it be. Every reset just delays the inevitable

[long quail]

Oh so what happens when it fully dies??

[uncut harness]

That’s it

The universe is over

[charred shale]

but the events may be happening to the Atlas over the course of 16 minutes, but in the simulation its much much much longer. Even if you don't reset the sim, it will not die during our time within the sim

[icy citrus]

The Atlas lies.

Take what it says with that in mind

[uncut harness]

How dare you claim that

[long quail]

So is it just part of the main storyline quests?

[heady wyvern]

As Gambit said: "it will not die during our time in the simulation"

Of course, the way in which the Atlas is dealing with its imminent (to it) demise IS relevant to the main quest.

[uncut harness]

I Agree, brother. The Atlas is a Paradox a falsehood for the weak to suckle until they die.

[green folio]

The soul collector egg mission is dark

Like I’m trapping these souls for my own benefit

[sterile smelt]

its not dark

[green folio]

I legit just trapped a guy while he was screaming no

[arctic pecan]

They were stuck in that position for all eternity
You just gave them a new purpose

[green folio]

Oh. I was not aware that’s how that worked, since there also in the space stations

[arctic pecan]

I think those are just rare cases that for some reason they appear in the stations, maybe their soul just spawns there cause sometimes they'll say "where am i, where are my friends" and things like that

So maybe they just wake up there

[green folio]

Maybe

[digital oyster]

Atlas is soooo cool

I love atlas

[grim ermine]

Hey people. I have to choose to let artemis live in the simulation or end him. I'm on the side of end him but want to know the impact each choice has.

[tame grotto]

game-wise, no impact really

just a micro difference in how a couple of npcs respond iirc

it's more of a personal choice for you

[grim ermine]

Time to end him then I guess.

It's what I'd want

[tame grotto]

that was my personal choice

exactly, same

i'd be too sad for me otherwise

ngl i teared up

[grim ermine]

No greater game impact?

[tame grotto]

what ya mean?

[grim ermine]

Are there different endings based on your choices?

[tame grotto]

the choice made no difference in what happens after. just micro dialogue difference in how a couple of characters respond i think

[grim ermine]

k, thanks

[green folio]

Ew

[digital oyster]

Excuse me, what did you say?

[eternal radish]

If you don't upload Artemis then they won't contact you at the end.

you'll miss out on some dialogue.\

[tame grotto]

@grim ermine

[grim ermine]

Better off dead.

[grim ermine]

Thanks.

[tame grotto]

i feel the same

[heavy epoch]

What do you guy think I should do?

Upload or let die

[icy citrus]

I let die

[heavy epoch]

I feel like I should let him live but idk

[sterile smelt]

trust your heart

[heavy epoch]

Wow this is tough

Is anything different depending on the choice?

[heavy epoch]

Nvm I don’t think so

Thx I’ll decide

😰

[tame grotto]

you do what feels right

[heavy epoch]

Thx

[arctic pecan]

I let her die

Better than a fake prison

[heavy epoch]

How long until you get all the glyphs, once you pass the part where u decide Artemis’ fate?

[tame grotto]

when you get to the purge. you get one glyph per warp to another system (which you can do in tandem with the Atlas quest too)

[heavy epoch]

Okay Ty

[echo veldt]

@uncut harness #no-mans-sky message Gek murder DLC lol

[uncut harness]

yes

it would make sense

they got cut off from that galaxy they sent before they merged with the korvax

[echo veldt]

Maybe?

Idk man

Again

Gek murder dlc

[uncut harness]

well the gek are on every planet/system, it only makes sense that some of the colonization forces might of got lost and cut off from communication.

lol

imagine if it worked

it would be a massive galatic war

they could also add pvp matchups

#nms-the-future

[uncut harness]

what happens there

[echo veldt]

Discuss possible future updates or whatever

[supple crater]

Uh.

Discuss spoilers, #nms-the-future is where you wanna discuss ideas and what you'd like to see.

[tame grotto]

Discuss the past & future of No Man Sky: what do you want to see next? What do you want fixed or changed or brought back?

[supple crater]

Oh there

sorry

I read here

[echo veldt]

But i mean

What we were discussing was kinda both

It was a future update but the context contained spoilers

So I wasn’t entirely sure where to talk about it lol

[red gust]

Oh man, I failed two tasks yesterday. ||I totally pissed off the Gek who was supposed to help me locate Artemis from maps||, and then a bit later I found ||a Gek obelisk that produced some weird hybrid creature and I chose to push it back inside|| which lost me a level of Gek rep. 😛

[supple crater]

(Don't need to use spoiler tags here by the way :])

[tame grotto]

you can always regain more Gek rep by gifting them and completing Gek side missions from space anomaly too

[red gust]

Oh, of course. I just feel bad because "What did I just do? Did I just wake up a dead Gek and then kill him again?" There was some sort of grave on my scanner nearby too, I did not touch it after that mess.

[charred shale]

Praise Atlas! Surrender to the Convergence!

[uncut harness]

[heady tinsel]

i have one question about the end of the story

i havent finished

does artemis survive?

[charred shale]

how bad do you want me to spoil things? give hints or explain it all?

[heady tinsel]

hints

[charred shale]

You'll have a choice to make eventually. Which might change the answer to your question, depending on what you choose

[heady tinsel]

oh, so i choose?

[tame grotto]

it'll be up to you sorta

[heady tinsel]

im assuming theres gonna be a huge thing that might sway my decision

[tame grotto]

correct

[heady tinsel]

ah

[tame grotto]

sorta huge thing

personal choice

[heady tinsel]

is there anything to do after the story?

other than grinding?

[tame grotto]

doesn't really affect gameplay afterwards tho. just small dialogue outcome.

[tame grotto]

there'll be other things to do/grind. but aside from Artemis & Atlas, story-wise, when you finish those that's it.

[heady tinsel]

oh

thx

[flat garden]

Why do I want to be close to the center at the last stage of the artemis story line? I kinda rushed that storyline so I could get glyphs and get cool ships but now I'm reading that I should try to get close to the center before I hit 16 jumps and I have literally no way of doing that as I haven't explored any black holes or anything.

[little remnant]

hm, I dont believe you have to do anything like that, where are you reading it?

if it's in the quest description, its a lie basically lol just keep warping

[flat garden]

I just read this "If you warp again fast enough you will not advance to the next glyph and thusly be able to get closer to the physical galactic core." and assumed that getting close to the core was a good thing

That's from the wiki

[little remnant]

huh. well I'm not the expert on nms but I would elect to just ignore that

[sterile smelt]

warp slowly

[flat garden]

So being close to the core doesn't matter at all?

[sterile smelt]

just warp around
slowly

[flat garden]

mkay, thanks!

[rancid sparrow]

Ok without spoiling how....Is it ever revealed what the significance of the number sixteen is?

[sterile smelt]

it tells you

[uncut harness]

-kzzt-

[cloud jolt]

*cryptic message detected!*
16/16/16 story --- kzzzt --- reveals --- kzzzt ---

[rancid sparrow]

Ok I'd forgotten it tells you 😅

I've only gotten so far as having to reset the thing and i hadn't even reached the core yet lol

[uncut harness]

you don’t have to reach the center

[charred shale]

If you reset then you should know what 16 means. I'm like 99.99% sure you learn that information before you reset

[uncut harness]

Ah

But you see

many people skim the story

and then are confused as to why they are confused

[charred shale]

[uncut harness]

We need more lore

We always need more lore

[rancid sparrow]

For me it's not so much skimming....as it is straight up forgetting it cause of undiagnosed add 🤣

[uncut harness]

I have ADHD and i remember lots of it

if the story ain’t interesting to ya, it ain’t interesting

no shame in that

[rancid sparrow]

That and I don't play regularly enough for the plot to stick in my brain meats lol

[uncut harness]

That is an intriguing way to describe a brain

[rancid sparrow]

I was gonna say brain space, but brain meats sounded funnier

[uncut harness]

Yeah you made the right choice

[rancid sparrow]

Also I'm in an atlas system currently.....and I'm still in my freighter...and just randomly learned two atlas words? Is that cause I'm near a station?

[uncut harness]

Shouldn’t be the case

Only way to learn atlas words is going in the station

[rancid sparrow]

Yeah I was sitting in my freighter and I saw the thing come up

[vernal monolith]

I've had that happen once or twice, I join an atlas system and randomly get a word or two

[thin dagger]

So I just found out once I go to the core of the galaxy my dude is pretty much stripped of everything and I have to start over. Is it worth completing the quest?

[arctic pecan]

That aint true

You dont start over again, your ship will need one or two things repaired, same for your suit/multitool

Thats it

You lose 0 things other than the resources to fix the damage

[dry jungle]

It made all my stuff break

Twice

[arctic pecan]

Like i already said, you'll have to fix stuff

But you dont start from scratch

That simply isn't true

[charred shale]

homie says "twice" acting like it's not supposed to do that every time lol

[faint mortar]

i read ppl getting fleet coordination to 125

i cant figure out how

this is max i am able to get

[icy citrus]

Not a spoiler friend

[faint mortar]

i knew that grouping the modules matters but i dint know their position towards others meant that much

well i wasnt sure

well it kinda is a spoily thing to see how to group modules to get better results

[icy citrus]

Nope

[heavy epoch]

Woah where’d u get that freighter from
It’s insane

And how’d You get 5m nanites?!

[faint mortar]

from here

and nanites are supereasy

you just farm S + exotic ans scrap them

[untold musk]

Jesus Christ

[untold musk]

How many nanites do you get from each s class ship

[faint mortar]

byt im missing 3 points in fleet coordination

[heavy epoch]

Wdym like buy a bunch of s class exotic ships then scrap them and sell the upgrades for nanites?

[faint mortar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM9Ll26acz0

[heavy epoch]

Ty sir

[faint mortar]

yw

[heavy epoch]

Just watched the video

Looks good

So how long did it take you to get 5m?

[arctic pecan]

Was not the goal of the quest

None of them

[charred shale]

In a religion focused around worship of Atlas, what would telamon's role be?

This is a hypothetical question, but I put it here because it would be tough to answer without spoilers

[whole sage]

1️⃣ 6️⃣

[charred shale]

I'm thinking of painting telamon as a sort of guardian angel protecting the atlas and the simulation

[arctic pecan]

Who?

[uncut harness]

your suit’s voice

[charred shale]

telamon is the AI in your suit. before the Atlas went crazy it was basically a security protocol withim the simulation (some in game sources seem to imply that telamon is actually not created by the Atlas, but is actually placed in the simulation to keep the simulation under control)

[arctic pecan]

Oh, didnt know it had a name

[uncut harness]

Yeah

It watched over the Atlas as it did it’s thing

[charred shale]

sources also imply that telamon does, or at least did, control the sentinels.

then in an effort to save itself from impending demise (or possibly unintentionally causing it), it created the traveler, placing telamon in the suit. telamon then guides you to save the Atlas

some sources in the game claim that the Atlas put telamon in the suit maliciously, but I'm not sure I agree with that interpretation

[green folio]

Huh.. I just called it the boy…

[cyan mauve]

@stark dust why does it "seem wrong"?

[stark dust]

Well initially it's the idea of his soul being trapped and suffering eternity alone. The idea of there being something better for him afterwards "rest in peace".

But after progressing with the story, it's confusing.

Lol

[cyan mauve]

@stark dust but they were suffering before you captured the soul? what would be bad about living in an interesting simulation?

(did you upload them? and if you did, did you tell them?)

[stark dust]

No, I set them free.

The irony in it all is the character we play as is in the same if not similar scenario so to speak...Imagine putting them into another fake reality.

Who knows maybe death in the game = Awakening in reality...

Though it could all be pieces of code lol

[cyan mauve]

@stark dust what is reality though? lets take a step back for a moment. if we dont know how exactly a simulation engine works, does it seem fair to you to assume that in places with more objects to simulate, the simulation will run slower than in places with few objects?

[stark dust]

Can you elaborate on that last part, not sure I follow?

[empty cedar]

Btw, the suffering I alluded to in the other channel was specifically limited to the knowledge of being artificial/in a simulation.
(Sorry for interrupting, please carry on.)

[stark dust]

Just sounds like a repetitive cycle and there's also the fact of lying to them about such a reality when you've come to witness the truth.

Nada said it best though.

Life is temporary, and he wasn't exactly alive rather his "soul" was trapped in a loop.

What did you choose?

[cyan mauve]

we dont know how the atlas simulation works, as a technology. but i am talking more theoretical there. when the simulation has lots of things it needs to simulate in a small space, will it run slower than in places with very few things to simulate? does that seem likely to you, speaking about simulations in general?

[stark dust]

It likely would be different, but would their suffering end given they will continue to be alone?

At the point I'm at in the game, it sounds like the apocalypse for this simulation.

.

[empty cedar]

I chose to put them in the simulation and to tell them. My reasoning was, give them a chance and be transparent about the facts as I understood them, and leave the rest up to them.

[stark dust]

Hm, that's fair. What happens to them after?

[empty cedar]

Presumably they will just continue to live a (simulated) life.

[stark dust]

So no more dialogue/encounters with them?

[cyan mauve]

several more convos. when you tell them, they are upset at first, but then go exploring their new reality.

[stark dust]

Essentially what the character does

What about Apollo?

[empty cedar]

does it each option have different enndings or does it not really matter
@lunar bloom It matters only in the sense that the story changes a little

[lunar bloom]

which option would u reccomnnd

ill play it a second time and get both

[empty cedar]

It's a personal decision

[lunar bloom]

imma uplad

[stark dust]

Did you reset the simulation?

[charred shale]

that happens much later in the story, if they are just at the part where you choose to upload Artemis or not, I doubt they are at that point yet

[stark dust]

Oh sorry I meant did you guys reset the simulation

I reached that point now deciding which galaxy to go with

Leaning towards the serene one

[green folio]

I wish we could actually get Apollo in our universe, and he could be at our base and start his farm like he wanted

Cause I feel bad, poor guy got stuck in another dimension and had to sit and wait for himself to forget everything about the traveler.

[daring bronze]

This is a throwback to the first multiplayer incident in NMS, where two players found themselves on the same planet, then navigated to the same spot and couldn't see each other, and shortly after, all the criticism started

[green folio]

Oh that’s fun. I remember when all that happened. Still sad tho

[charred shale]

I love that they made a canon lore reason for the fact that there wasnt multiplayer, then it was the floating orb thing, and then full blown multiplayer. great to see them roll with the punches like that

[little remnant]

Apollo is literally the loml

[stark dust]

Lol is that what set the story for Apollo

So this game was purely single player initially and then gradually became multiplayer?

[uncut harness]

Was supposed to be multiplayer

HG got hit with the flood in Guildford

[stark dust]

Ah damn, that must have hurt them.

I only discovered this game last week ha

Late to the party.

Surprised tbh, since 2016 there has been a game like this?!

[uncut harness]

Never too late to explore these stars, Traveler-friend

[stark dust]

Oh the makers are based in the UK?

[uncut harness]

yes

[stark dust]

That's cool

[uncut harness]

[stark dust]

Been to Guildford myself ha

Are people in this discord from the UK too?

[uncut harness]

A lot of us are

A lot of us aren’t

[stark dust]

Varies I guess

[uncut harness]

We’re quite the diverse community. Though I’d suggest we take this discussion to another channel if we’re no longer on NMS spoilers

[stark dust]

If I didn't restart the simulation would Nada's dialogue be different?

Seems they forgot who I am lol

[uncut harness]

Yea

[charred shale]

there is a video from the first couple days from release (it may have actually been the same day) where two streamers met on the same planet and went to the same coords and lined up their streams and they could not see each other at all. Sean had been touting about being able to explore space with your friends before the games release, but the game was listed as single player on the back cover of the game. people had preordered with the intention of playing with friends and were understandably upset

[stark dust]

Yeah that would be upsetting..

[charred shale]

the YouTube video "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky" (an absolutely great video btw) shows a short clip of the video. Highly recommend the video if you are interested at all about this games story

[vague owl]

Used to be not good,
But got significantly better over the years

[eternal radish]

Someone from another NMS discord had this happen at their settlement. Like holy hooker if the Atlas, how did Artemis get there???
This isn't a mod.

Apparently it is possible to have Travelers at your settlement and sometimes it's Apollo, Artemis or Null, who live there.
Like, lorewise, how can this be explained? I think resetting the Atlas DID fix some things after all...

[icy citrus]

Lore wise, everything is breaking down.

Multiple iterations able to see each other

[eternal radish]

Yup that

[icy citrus]

Remember the Atlas has been running the sim over and over, bound to be some variations where these travellers survived

[eternal radish]

But Artemis was uploaded in the simulation. Since you're in a simulation as well their sim isn't actually less fake than yours. Then, indeed, when the Atlas dies (which appears to be an infinite dying process) boundaries between realities fall and Travelers can finally physically meet eachother so Artemis and co could be in the same reality as yours.
Not complaining haha

[eternal radish]

I personally love how Artemis is one of them haha. Maybe they got a better fate after the reset 💖

[icy citrus]

The Artemis we tried to find was an echo, who is to say which is the real or fake Artemis if there has indeed been many iterations

[eternal radish]

And starts running an illegal ferrite mine haha

[icy citrus]

Are they All real?

All fake?

Maybe we are just another Artemis Iteration

[eternal radish]

What if Artemis faked their death? 👀👀👀

Jk

[icy citrus]

The good thing about the lore, is by its very nature it is completely changeable

We have the controller of the Sim breaking down and going insane

Anything is possible

[eternal radish]

Also, when Nada found Polo and they tried to escape the Sentinels and Polo died they told Nada they'd meet again in another universe, sooo.... Same thing is probably the case with Artemis.

[icy citrus]

Aye

[eternal radish]

This...

[icy citrus]

Yep

[eternal radish]

Artemis' death was also called a "pseudo death". So, not... really dead.

The version of Artemis we interacted with got stuck in a datafall and we had to get them out of there.

[arctic thorn]

Do you really create your own system in the Atlas path?

Is it the one you go to with the black hole?

[icy citrus]

You don't actually create that system, but as the black hole takes you to an undiscovered system you may as well have

[uncut harness]

is it always undiscovered?

[icy citrus]

As far as I'm aware

[lilac brook]

What is so important about "16"

[grim ermine]

The overseer, good bad or indifferent?

[grim ermine]

I assume 16 initial or important travellers. I may be wrong.

[lilac brook]

Played this since it came out and I still don't really understand the story.

[urban crest]

There are 16 glyphs to discover for portal glyph coordinates, and the base 16 number system is a large part of coding the procedural universe. The number of planets in game is 16^16

[heady wyvern]

And the fact that, from the Atlas's perspective, it believes that it has 16 minutes to live.

[lilac brook]

So...if I have this straight...is this whole universe a simulation? What exactly is atlas

[mental socket]

Atlas is just a supercomputer that simulates the universe

[charred shale]

Blasphemy

Atlas is a god who chose the form of a computer program so us travelers could wrap our minds around the conundrum.

[lilac brook]

So the nms universe is one big computer simulation

[dreamy forge]

yes like real life

[grave badger]

What about 16 people allowed in the anomaly at once

[urban crest]

Yeah theres all sorts of connections in the game like that, they try to incorporate it a lot

[lilac brook]

So what's real in nms haha

[lilac brook]

Well the in game currency and respawn rate for life sucks!

[dreamy forge]

I know right, graphics are pretty good though, definitely some sort of ray tracing going on :P

[uncut harness]

Are there any primary quests past the purge?

[green folio]

Dreams of the deep

The settlers, atlas path, all the base inhabitants missions

[uncut harness]

Isnt that a side quest?

[green folio]

A very long one that gets updated

[uncut harness]

Oh ok

I will try it out

[arctic thorn]

Who is the maker of the Atlas?

We get told something about it when we use a Memory on a space station

[mental socket]

I think you'll be able to figure out a bit more from lore in boundary failures

[arctic thorn]

baundars failures?

[arctic thorn]

Whats that?

[mental socket]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Boundary_Failure

they got plenty of interesting and somewhat unsettling lore in them

[charred shale]

Afaik who created the Atlas is a mystery, but people have made speculations from the bits and pieces of lore that talk about it

[mental socket]

well us, the players are copies of one of Atlas' creators

that much is known

[charred shale]

right but people like to say we are human, which is possible since we are at least humanoid

but that much is just speculation.

[modern tartan]

thanks

[green folio]

Do we know who made the sentinels?

[sterile smelt]

the donut people

[faint mortar]

can someone explain me the usefulness of this anomaly ?

[arctic pecan]

Looking cool and providing a couple hundred nanites once destroyed

Same for the other anomalies but varying in loot or no loot at all cause they're indestructible, like the planetary shelter

[faint mortar]

517 x nanites

[nocturne zephyr]

hoping they flesh out those space anomalies eventually. They’re interesting for the first moment you see them then all that matters after is getting currencies from them

[heady wyvern]

My personal interpretation is that they're a self-regulatory protocol of the Atlas that went AWOL when the Atlas started breaking down.

[green folio]

Oh that’s a good theory

[heady wyvern]

Pretty sure that's everyone's interpretation, but I can't exactly be sure

Might be the closest thing we've got to canon

But I'm sure we all agree that the sentinels are a construct of the Atlas itself.

[green folio]

Oh yeah defiantly. I think of them as a way to kinda shape the universe as the atlas wants. Like it’s hands almost

And we have seen the atlas destroy a entire universe just because it wanted to using the sentinels, so it definitely has control over them

[digital oyster]

they could be something ATLAS sent out to destroy anomaly’s to keep its self from breaking down further

[marble jetty]

[untold musk]

Hello, so in the main storyline do we get to change galaxies? And if so then when we change galaxy does our ship break

[icy citrus]

Yes and yes

@untold musk

[pallid stump]

Huh.

[sterile smelt]

interesting

[eternal radish]

Hmmm

[alpine sky]

Btw guys has anyone else come across a “little creature in the vent” at the start of the atlas questline? It was like in a structure and it said that it was hurt, but sadly i did not have any pet food so i couldn’t accept him

It was just written tho not like an actual creature was there

[uncut harness]

They are riddles for you to choose, I'm fairly certain for the players to learn mercy

[eternal radish]

Damn those Vy’Keen folks are true edgelords…

[icy citrus]

Your turn!

[eternal radish]

You’d almost expect this haha.

[icy citrus]

Lol

[eternal radish]

I’m pretty sure you’ll take damage from it.

[icy citrus]

Yeah, there are quite a few interactions that give us damage

[eternal radish]

I mean if someone did this in front of my in real life I’d scream lol.

[icy citrus]

I would have already left at the spitting part

[eternal radish]

Me too probably

[supple crater]

[icy citrus]

Fishy

[eternal radish]

This game’s lore has very spiritual aspects.

[supple crater]

I bet he said technically in there somewhere

[eternal radish]

The whole thread

[alpine sky]

Oh i see, sadly i could learn mercy since i had no food :/

[eternal radish]

The Gek have not changed their views on the Kortvax 💀

[tame grotto]

lol tell that Gek he's ruuuude

[eternal radish]

Korvax are more than just machines. They're souls in a mechanical body.

But ok. Gek be Gek

[quaint geyser]

Btw, I didn't reset the simulation. Can I change my choice or no?

[icy citrus]

Not unless you have a save before making the choice

[quaint geyser]

I didn't

[icy citrus]

What you miss out on is being able to select the type of galaxy you want to move to - but you can still reach those if you want.

[quaint geyser]

Oh blast it

I thought I would destroy the Anomaly if I reset

[icy citrus]

[quaint geyser]

Owwwww

[vernal monolith]

Has there been any datamining on the game lately? 👀

[green folio]

I don’t like that gek. He insults my people (kinda)

[eternal radish]

That Gek is so narrow minded

[green folio]

Yes and offensive

[eternal radish]

Yesterday the farmer Gek was tired from working too hard. I should have told them they were lazy lol

Just as revenge for talking shit about the Korvax.

[high remnant]

proboly spoler alert. i completed no mans sky there has to be more to the story instead of roaming the universe for ever.

i said it here

[green folio]

Thank you. I’m starting to not like those little lizard brats.

[green folio]

Yep there plenty more. There’s tons of side quests and you always have the settlement quests and Dreams Of The Deep

[eternal radish]

I love how telepathy is a thing in this game 💖💖💖

[uncut harness]

I got a question that I’m pretty sure is the end game

I’m currently on a mission to go to the center of thr universe as thr atlas is dying

So on the way I’m grabbing thr seeds because I feel like I need them

I’ve been told there are two options at thr end game of what happens to my character and world

What happens in each?

[brave wave]

either you go to a new galaxy or dont

world is unaffected either way

still can teleport to bases and space stations and stuff

[uncut harness]

So nothing gets affected?

Will the new galaxy have new features?

[charred shale]

if you choose the option that takes you to a new galaxy, your exosuit, ship, and multitool tech in the general tab will break (technology tab will be unnaffected)

I suggest using a ship that you don't use, equipping a different multitool, and moving any of your "must have" exosuit tech to the technology tab. like hazard protection, life support, shields, etc

[uncut harness]

Got it

Are there any benefits then?

[charred shale]

You get to go to a new galaxy, choosing from a few options. other than that, I don't think so

i could be wrong about that

[viscid tree]

the type you chose will take you to different types. one will be a normal distro of planets like the base galaxy, then theres one that will give you more paradise planets, one that will give you more abandoned systems/dead planets, and one that will give you more planets with extreme weather

so mostly it's what kind of galaxy you wanna explore next, mostly matters if you're trying to find a specific planet setup to make a base on

[uncut harness]

Okie thx

In that case I might just save myself the bother and not go to a new galaxy

[uncut harness]

@severe wedge when you perform the reset you can choose I think 1 of 4 galaxies, a green blue red and yellow I beleive

[severe wedge]

does this affect my base?

[uncut harness]

No

[severe wedge]

so what does a reset do?

[uncut harness]

It will take you to a new galaxy

[severe wedge]

So from what I read it said i cant return to euclid

[uncut harness]

No you for sure can

You can use a base teleporter to teleport to a base in euclid

Same the other way if you put a base in the new galaxy

[severe wedge]

oh okay, so it doesnt matter then which one I go to it wont affect any past progress

[uncut harness]

It won't affect past progress but you might wanna research which colour means which galaxy

Just so you know which you would prefer

[severe wedge]

yeah i am doing that

[uncut harness]

I believe green is eissentam which has more lush systems

May be wrong tho, it's been a while

[severe wedge]

what is the difference between complete atlas path and seek final interfacee

[uncut harness]

I can't quite remember but I think they are part of different questlines

[severe wedge]

alright, thank you

[tame grotto]

you can do atlas path at the same time that you're doing ||The Purge in the Artemis questline ||

[severe wedge]

thank you

[next gorge]

Guys I don't like that the soul engine is red orb

idk if I can trust this null character

seems sus

a random traveler had some sort of atlas "goo" spilling out of them

like they were an atlas avatar

no likey

red orb bad

[green folio]

Red orb bad

Well

Kinda

[green folio]

All my homies hate null

[next gorge]

bruh

I have to kill artemis-echo

they trapped

or do I embrace the simulation

heck

[icy citrus]

I let them die

[next gorge]

nada will care for them

bruh

null will not be pleased

[icy citrus]

They won't be pleased if I ever encounter them, this is true

[next gorge]

Well that's a bit rude isnt it

[icy citrus]

Eh, probably had it coming

[spice pine]

a tad bit disrespectful

[supple crater]

That's hilarious

[next gorge]

just the organics too

what's being organic got to do with it

smh

[spice pine]

one of my friends told me my living ship looks like a cockroach, maybe theyre a sentinel

[eternal radish]

I actually wonder how Null got to know everything that happened with us and Artemis.

Did Null spy on your character or something?

[next gorge]

not to be trusted

[eternal radish]

And yet they help you to try saving Artemis.

And Null knew something was wrong with the Atlas and that Nada refuses to pay attention to it. So Null has a point, but still, it's kinda creepy how they appeared out of the blue and knows what you have been up to.

But I suspect that Null was the first Traveler who then refused the Atlas and then Atlas got a mental breakdown which got every other Traveler created in trouble.

Atlas actually refused Null. Its unclear what exactly happened and what Null did.

But I think Null is the "Eve" from No Man's Sky.

Null did something that fucked up Atlas and the entire multiverse.

[fresh ridge]

rotary phone portals lol

[crude stag]

Perhaps, it is because nulls' head is made of plasma???

Instead of being a regular carbon based lifeform like he was supposed to be.

[eternal radish]

Null might be a type of lifeform that's very different from anything on Earth. Maybe silicon based or energy based (?).
If something is very alien for us doesn't mean it is wrong.

Just like there are robotic animals in NMS.

[severe wedge]

@empty cedar does swapping to other ones allow you to swap back to non broken ones when you travel? or will all MT and ships break?

[arctic pecan]

Only what you are currently using will break

[severe wedge]

so swap to useless ones and swap back once spawned on the new galaxy?

[arctic pecan]

So you can switch to another ship/mt you dont really use, travel, then go back to your main ones

Yep

[severe wedge]

oh sweet, that makes it easy, aside from that anything else i should think of before going?

[empty cedar]

Are you just jumping galaxies once, or are your way to one that's several galaxies away?

[severe wedge]

just once for now

first time

I did it once, saw everything broke and reset to my manual save right before going through

[empty cedar]

You're good, then

[severe wedge]

figured id look into it more before making the jump lol

okay cool, thank you

[arctic pecan]

Only extra thing would be having a base in your current galaxy so you can teleport between galaxies

[severe wedge]

got 3 of those:)

do i lose my settlement?

[arctic pecan]

Nup

[severe wedge]

can i get another one in the new galaxy?

or is it 1 max

[arctic pecan]

You can only have one

So you can get a new one, but you'll ditch the other

[severe wedge]

alright, thank you my current one i wish i didnt get so idc about trading it lol

[slender quarry]

so im doing the thing where u warp 16 times to get all the glyphs, but idk if i want to go thru with the helping atlas thing (idk if thats what im getting glyphs for in the first place) can someone explain a bit better whats actually going on rn

[uncut harness]

Honestly just get the glyphs and the atlas seeds and then talk to thr atlas

You can back out of thr convo after a while and nothing gets affected

[eternal radish]

I wonder what you can archieve with the Atlas path after you’ve resetted the Atlas and after you’ve been yeeted into another galaxy. After the reset you have to fly through black holes, visit Atlas interfaces and interact with it and birth new stars but what will it eventually lead to? Do you get to travel to the center of the new galaxy and then be thrown into the next one?

For example will the post reset Atlas Path lead you to the center of, let’s say, Eissentam and then you get to choose another galaxy again and be teleported to that one?

[lime timber]

Does "The Settlers" mission end? (I have started on the Frontiers content first time)

[haughty orbit]

so at the end of the story, i declined the atlas, but is there a way to go back and choose a new galaxy or am i stuck in euclid until i reach the galaxy core

[late tusk]

I just had a realization.

The atlas is Sean and the dev team. We are all travelers.

[latent ingot]

Or is it Sean is the Atlas, the dev team are the Sentinels, and we are all Travellers

[eternal radish]

We once were making up a fan theory here that Polo is actually Sean.

I tweeted screenshots of our convo here to Sean Murray but he never replied 🙃

[sharp inlet]

I came up with a fan theory that the first spawn Gek were never actually subdued by the Korvax, the primary change in their biology was greatly increased mental capacity, at which point they realized that economic slavery was far less effort than the old-fashioned kind - they then genetically engineered a caste of smaller Gek as part of their charade to maintain control of the universe and have been living in the lap of luxury in phantom star systems.

[green folio]

Huh. If you look past a few certain things, that’s a good theory

[green folio]

Makes sense. That would all work with the simulation and stuff

[sharp inlet]

Yeah I hadnt played thru the story in over 3yrs and was quite baked when I came up with it, lol, I'm sure it fails to account for at least a couple of major lore points.

[green folio]

Yeah. Like the fact that I don’t think the gek would give up galaxy domination.

[sharp inlet]

They didnt give it up, they simply decided to let the vykeen and korvax handle all the workaday stuff and retire to the phantom systems, the entire "new Gek" economic system funneling everything to them without the need to look upon their lessers.

[woeful bone]

should i let artemis die?

[icy citrus]

It is really totally up to you and what you feel is appropriate - you won't miss anything but a bit of dialogue either way

I let them go

[late tusk]

The atlas dies when we turn the game off

[slender quarry]

what happens if i reset the simulation and what happenens if i refuse

[uncut harness]

Reset will send you to a new galaxy, refusing you will stay where you are.
You can still travel to a new galaxy if you refuse so you won't lose that option.

[slender quarry]

can i always go back to my old one

[uncut harness]

If you have a base there, yes.

[slender quarry]

k

what are all these orbs?

[uncut harness]

New galaxies.

[slender quarry]

btw when u go to next galaxy is storyline over or whats with tht

and what do the diff colors mean?

[uncut harness]

Main story yes. Dreams of the Deep is the secondary story if you didn't do that.

Different colours are the galaxy types.
You'll have harsh, empty, lush etc.

[slender quarry]

can dreams of the deep be accessed only from euclid

[uncut harness]

Nope, you'll be good for that from wherever you go.

[slender quarry]

k

o ye is green lush btw

[uncut harness]

👌

[haughty orbit]

Can you only do that by going to the galactic core or can you go back and choose the galaxy from the atlas

[uncut harness]

If you refuse to reset you're expected to head to the galactic core to head to a new galaxy.
But, you can use the teleporter on the Space Anomaly and jump to another universe if there's another player there in a different universe.

[slender quarry]

cant find hesrt if the sun recipe in synthesis lab where is it

[slender quarry]

btw isnt tht what resetting does, takes u to new galaxy?

[uncut harness]

Yep!

[slender quarry]

im confused now so whats the diff between resetting and doing wot u said in tht message? (when u refuse and go to galactic core which i believe is where u refuse to reset??)

[uncut harness]

Going through the Galactic Core will take you to the next galaxy in number order.
Doing what you did lets you pick from a small choice.

[slender quarry]

o

also what was the point of learning all those seed blueprints i didnt use em at all

or even have to make then

[uncut harness]

Just so you have them. They are deemed the necessary blueprints to own.

[slender quarry]

so btw how do i learn the heart of the sun blueprint its telling me is in the synthesis lab?

(but its not in the synthesis lab)

[slender quarry]

btw why are all the icons all glitchy now

[heady wyvern]

The synthesis lab comment is a blanket statement about most unlockable item blueprints, which HG seems to have overlooked. The real answer is "Complete the Atlas Path."

[neon marsh]

Exploring derelict freighters is a butt clenching experience

[mystic relic]

Is it? I was rather disappointed to be honest, I was expecting a much tougher challenge. That being said some of the logs are hilarious, especially the assessment of various crew

"Your gut biome is is why the HR AI told us to throw you out the airlock."

[vernal monolith]

Just remember not to hit the containment tubes, and if you encounter those big pulsing nest things, walking while having your analysis visor on the whole time doesn't trigger them :>

[eternal radish]

Just make sure you have good cold protection too in case you are not nearby any heaters.

And for before you turn them on.

[eternal radish]

Didn't know Artemis could be that sassy lol.

[latent ingot]

That's why I told them their fate and in a simulation

[slender quarry]

lol

o wait i dont think daphne at that part rn

is that before the whole simulation thing

[eternal radish]

I still like them. Given their situation it's more than understandable that they're stressed.

I means being stuck in purgatory and being chased by screaming creatures with glass in their skin puts a toll on you, you know 😅

[eternal radish]

This is not my first gameplay

[slender quarry]

o

[slender quarry]

wait wot

[green folio]

He can be a prick, but it’s normally chill. I just told him he was in a sim

[eternal radish]

Why do you think they are a prick? Just curious 🙂

[eternal radish]

Yep.

Given the circumstances it's understantable that Artemis starts eventually acting like a prick when someone who is supposed to help them responds slowly 😅

I guess we'd be like that too.

[green folio]

More meant they could be a prick, they were really sassy to me. But in the end I like them. Not as much as Apollo though

[eternal radish]

What did Artemis all say to you?

[slender quarry]

when do we learn that

[eternal radish]

During the storyline. When you are about to loose contact with Artemis.

[red gust]

So I stopped most story progression to focus on exploring my immediate area and build a few bases, set up some resource farms, etc. I don't mind vague spoilers, so is the main story goal just to reach the center of the galaxy?

[slender quarry]

is that before u try and actually go to the planet its said shes on

[slender quarry]

location wise im pretty sure yeah

[formal basin]

I personally told Artemis about the simulation the first time I could.

If I didn’t my conscious would have gotten mad at me for withholding the truth from a video game character.

[eternal radish]

I feel the same

I uploaded them because I believe there might be hope in the future. We are all in a simulation anyways. Who says their simulation isn't as real as ours? Maybe one day their simulation can be added to our own so we can really see eachother.
A Vy'Keen I met was working on a simulation of a galaxy, so maybe Artemis could ever move to that one.

[frank schooner]

What if when we uploaded Artemis into the sim, they went back into real life?

[novel gate]

I remember Nada saying something about Artemis suffering if they found out what happened to them

I don’t remember all the details however

[eternal radish]

And yet when Polo and Nada tried to escape and Polo died they told Nads that they will meet again in another universe. I think the same could be the case with Artemis. In that case it wouldn’t matter whether you upload them or not because there are still countless versions of them out there in other universes…

[slender quarry]

polo didnt die??

[eternal radish]

Well he did but Nada and Polo met again in another universe.

[green folio]

Nada and polo aren’t travelers right?

[eternal radish]

Nope. They are a divergent Korvax abd a rebellious Gek.

[slender quarry]

o

[uncut harness]

Will roleplay servers be added to No Man's Sky (For more than four people)

?

[eternal radish]

That isn't really a spoiler 😅
Try #no-mans-sky or #nms-the-future channel.

[uncut harness]

Ok thanks

[green stirrup]

How do i get frigade conflict to spawn? I keep going to nee systems but its not spawning?

[eternal radish]

I think it's better to ask this in #no-mans-sky or #nms-questions because this is the channel about the lore and storyline and those two other channels, especially the help channel, is where people help eachother 🙂

[uncut harness]

Every 3 hours + 5 warps

[green folio]
