Well it could be talking about something or someone else
A traveler who is a machine but since we aren't exactly like a machine
Nms definitely plays on multiverse stuff
What if telamon is a different version of us
in a trace of metal, laylaps first greets us as telemon
What if Telemon is another version of us or perhaps the original
it detects telemon as our exosuit AI
The first traveler telemon

This seems like such a small mission for something that big to be revealed
I think theres more to the story
perhaps
There's definitely gonna be more story
@frank gale yo
I read up a bit
I think our ai was telemon
Not anymore since it says we lost our sanity
Now we are travelers
wdym by that
In the wiki it says telemon was forced to be an artificial intelligence
Causing insanity
The exo suit may have telemons dying corpse inside potentially?
Now only a vessel for a shell pf what used to be telemon
yep
But i feel that the sentinels are growing by themselves or by someone else
Well hes not in his body anymore
He was forced to be artificial
So his body
Is likely dead or dying or perhaps become something else
Whoever telemon is
It certainly isn't us anymore
It might've Been us
@mint hollow
Tealmon lore. We know exactly who he is
Boundary Failure - No Man's Sky Wiki
But yeah this is what I imagine the abyss to look like
what do you guys think about this interpretation? https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/sxdttk/my_interpretation_of_the_lore_structure_so_far/
I'm sure it's been asked, but tips for finding sentinel towers? I am trying to find exotic multitools.
Welp, I'll just go slaughter then and see what happens.
Just make sure you can survive
Artemis quest line end... what effects do the choices have?
Damm scp-001(3) is the abyss
If you do the simulation option you get some nice chats with him later
And you can feel a little better about yourself
I like to imagine that the abyss is a god, and the atlas fears it
I think the abyss resides in the world of glass (my theory)
It would be cool if the abyss is a subroutine of thr atlas that was destroyed somehow
Or a new model
Someone had told me there was a way to get exotic planets to spawn more often with the artemis quest line. I thought that choice effected it lol
That could also make sense
Eh not really, put him in the simulation if u still have the option
so was the ||minotaur upgrade|| one of the big parts of the new update?
Okay so I beat an actual mountain of sentinels and found a royal MT, wasn't there a trick to reload for different colors?
I just want to know what KORVA is
If you are looking for a certain colour use the coordinate exchange
It seems to be an name for the korvax hive mind
Or maybe god?
the abyss is Korvax Prime after it's destruction, using the sentinels to expand its influence
is that a bad roll then?
it doesn't matter
this is really good
i wish people talked about waking titan more often
those are two disconnected thoughts
you basically have a place for it in there with the anomaly race plugging from the "real" world
so I dont mean to suggest you arent
I guess WT is just hard to get into if you werent in it
the problem with WT is also that it adds a whole new layer of meta that is hard to wrap your head around, because it addresses nms as a game etc etc. so its like hg and nms are canon to no mans skys own storyline lol
I don't agree with this structure, because korvax prime is the abyss
and the world of glass is more like arcs on a circuit board than being outside of the atlas
I know alot about the atlas and the simulation, but not much about WT
It’s weird because it’s the “real world outside the simulation” but not the one mentioned in the game itself as the “real world”. As if they’re two different realities. So I’ve always assumed it goes (least to greatest)
Artemis simulation —> NMS (simulation) —> WT universe —> however many universes —> remembrance-lore universe
Possibly, or it could be a differing version of the atlas
The world of glass could also refer to computer screens in the real world
Storage
Wdym gleam
I honestly think the subroutine thing has a ton of ground
As you literally meet parts of thr atlas subroutines in game at the interfaces
And you can sorta guess what some of them do by how they look
One of them is a pure white orb with a Silhouette of each species in a triangle shape
Another makes the atlas have the texture of earth and rock
I mean, I think the World of Glass is where data is stored for the sim
Could be
Waking titan went out of its way to say the simulation used some type of glass storing technology
So singular is right on the money
Atlas foundation inherited all those companies and one of them provided storage like that
This is also why the world of glass is inhabited by the sentinels because they are responsible for documenting and handling data
And why dead ppl go there 😳
A certain someone may make another appearance
At the very end of the sentinels quest (I mean on the very final completion) do you get anything?
I’m hardlocked from completing the very final part and I want to know if there is anything I’m missing out on
just reset the quest
Trust me I have done everything I can there is nothing I can’t do to fix it
If you reset it will hard lock and how it is right now it hardlocks but all I want to know is what you get from finishing the quest
basically nothing
Ok good thanks
If you have already gotten the fully upgraded Minotaur then you’ll be fine @coral heron
Don’t worry I glitched through the ground and finished it
Hey real quick im on the last step of artemis line with the whole reset the universe thing.
Is there another way
Reset Simulation
Refuse Atlas
Will any of these get rid of my equipment / ship. I spent so long getting the living ship....
so im curious, i let artemis die, would anything significant happen if i had plugged them into the computer?
nope, but it will break all the tech, and living ship is a pain in the ass to fix
found out the hard way lol
good luck with that
Ok so the world of glass is just storage for the sim right?
But what if the world of glass is the “real” No mans sky universe. Like the one where the atlas was first created
wheres the world of glass talked about
interesting how they're working with new freighter interior designs from color scheme to structurally as well.
Definitely planning to make them bigger with some star wars star destroyer-esque hallways
If I'm right, our next update is due to be a big'un, and if this was a Space Overhaul, with freighter overhauls, Freighter battles, and better space combat (now that they've overhauled land combat) I wouldn't be able to stop orgasming.
Plus very interesting on how they're introducing more window assets for freighter builds implying that they'll be improving the mapbox outside of the freighter base itself
Prolly some form of freighter overhaul
let me yet again remind you of freighter trails
this plus the new freighter parts along with rocket locker
all the pieces hint at something freighter/space focused
I think that would be next update or after next update
I said this before, they are going to allow us to begin designing our own versions of derelict freighters and custom missions inside those freighters. I think that they gave us exactly all of the same building pieces they currently use in derelicts AND these new unreleased screenshots of freighter interiors, helps to indicate a major overhaul for freighter space and possibly combat too
I didn't see this that's awesome
HG made it way too obvious tho
they even left the new freighter parts in the menu up there, even tho they're hidden
A space combat overhaul would go very well to succeed the sentinel update
I do think they'll be expanding the new combat, loot and tech system to space too
with sentinel starship upgrades and such
Nice
Tho that isn't any confirmed info
What if they also added mobile npcs
And also made them combat-capable
Cause atm the npcs just land, look at their ship, sell stuff, and leave
And the ones that don't just stand in one spot for eternity, bound to their duty till death
Damn did anybody take a good look at the Expedition 5 rewards?!?
A number of spoilers there...
So sentinel exosuit upgrades have the potential to be crazy awesome but their multitool upgrades are barely worthwhile...
yep
I choose to reset but which of the 4 should I choose
depends on the type of biomes you'd prefer i guess. here's some info on galaxy types in case it helps: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy#Galaxy_types
many players prefer lush biomes, where there's higher chance of lush/paradise planets. if you have questions on the different types, you can inquire more in our #nms-questions.
So, I found a repository that says korvax adopted organic bodies and one started a movement to take gek form and joined the first spawn....wtf
They helped enslave and meltdown the korvax.
yeah it's bad. i told ya
Yeah better place to express my concern here in spoilers, but holy hell.
I avoid this page like the plague, but I'm kinda shocked.
yeah, it's a bit heartbreaking from the korvax's perspective
obvz things have changed over time
So what are xnt-echos decendands? A korvax become gek become mixed brain controlled ai again?
but sometimes, ancestors' history isn't forgiven so easily. we see that irl even to this day.
feels like the best way to balance things out, right? pretty brilliant in my book
I feel for the gek, they are literally enslaved in the mind if I remember the story right, right?
i dunno about enslaved. @cyan mauve may be better with the deets here. but they're def mixed.
Yeah, ass hole tendencies, but totally mind wipe
(gimme a second to read backlog)
pretty wild, right? way to get back at a species. i kinda dig it
i have no idea what you people are talking about tbh? 😄
Like they were accessed and rewritten.
korvax are an AI hive mind.
Gek is too though, not of free will
gek got tuned down from firstspawn to gentle, benevolent traders.
oh the history of gek and korvax. and where gek stand today.
Think of it like an entire species absorbed by body snatches lol
i heart the gek today. even tho their history could obviously be so anger inducing. they're just so darn cute gosh darnit lol
that wasnt my perception of it tbh. yes, the korvax messed with the gek gene pool, quite properly. but i dont think its "all gek are remote-controlled from korvax prime now" kind of thing?
It was not korvax tho?
yeah, that's def not the way i interpreted. but i can be wrong. they're mostly mixed. that i do know.
i am german. so, uh, i dont blame the current gek for stuff the firstspawn didn.
I read alot of repositories and knowledge stones were one of my biggest pursuits....but I may have something confused. But I'm pretty sure all of gek consciousness has been overridden.
They are zombies
yeah, that's what i was touching on earlier. it's crazy how even irl, ppl's history carries so much meaning to ppl of the present, and the ancestors' sins take so long to forgive for many. i personally love gek, so i'm weird like that i guess.
Well, I had ancestors on both sides of many wars.
And atrocities.
But I feel empathy for every person I meet.
Except the hateful...lol
exactly. similar idea that the writers of nms life forms' lore was trying to convey i guess. i find so many aspects pretty transcendental
I love it.
Sometimes the dialogue blows me away, but it takes awhile to piece it together.
yeah, exactly.
Sometimes I see someone say the game has no story I'm just not sure what to say.
yeah, i think ppl just rush through things a lot of times. and miss the details? not sure
to be fair
what the gek story reminded me of was ... a part of Nivens "Ringworld" universe. that has a ferocious/mad warrior race (Kzin). and some slightly more advanced race of cowards (Puppeteers) manipulates them into going to war with the humans. again. and again. and again. to basicly make the "aggro genes" into a evolutionary bad choice, because the kzin that go to war end up mostly dead, so not passing on their genes.
it is really hard to see
that's so interesting. makes sense. it's like when there isn't a universal balance, a species must pay its price. there are always consequences to extreme actions over time
in the niven universe, the Kzin very much do not appreciate once they find out. neither do the humans, which were actualy bred for "being lucky".
I'm thinking hg is setting up the back story and have plans on pushing us further into involvement.
One dialogue warned against fighting sentinels, the last race that did ended up being met with new types that ended up exterminating them.
It ended saying how sad it was we did not learn.
that's def fascinating
And now. BAM we have new types.
Planets are going extinct or extreme buome changes...player impact seems to drive the game to a degree.
i really hope they do carry on with more story telling
@agile cairn we are of the traveller/anomaly race though, figured outs whats going on, and ... well ... got all the time in the world.
but not really
No, first Gen players have moved on. We are already descendants.
So if player interaction plays a part it will essentially incorporate the ancestral vibe to the traveller.
I mean it was released in 2018 right?
So what generation of a player am i?
2016
Jesus
that was so long ago jeez
Exactly, it scares me so few people received that warning. I forsee large boss fights that will destroy us soon. XD
Push us all the way back to euclid.
I'm curious what will come next
I'll keep searching the repositories for more clues lol
Looks dark tho...lol maybe they will keep it up.
You mean the pillars?
Historical archives.
What is halacan?
Halacan? I don't know
New Sentinel types which can disguise as the NPC races and Travellers.
To infiltrate their societies
Amd gather info about them
And maybe a possibility.
To collect data for their hivemind
@eternal radish Screamers!
Maybe humanoid (well Gek, Korvax, Vy'Keen and Travellers are humanoid) Sentinels, like in Terminator.
I can see them being like the T-1000 which can chance into a metallic liquid and then build itself up again.
Or like the T-800 which is an endoskeleton with organic skin and muscles around it, so it looks like an NPC.
@eternal radish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screamers_(1995_film)
(which is, as so much good ideas in scifi, based on a PKD story...)
That seams terrifying
It's both story spoilers and leaks.
Ok so, I like to imagine Artemis as a female, Apollo as a male, and the atlas as a -kzzzt-. Anyone have any objections?
The developers apparently
Yes.
Cousins
@uncut harness i think living ships were before korvax existed tho
A prototype

If there's a cousin does that mean there are others
A family
Planets full of them already so only time for them to explode in to more stuff I guess.
Like frigging freighters.
@uncut harness imagine a living freighter
Oh God.
So... what do you think the next no mans sky update is gonna be about?
You're looking for #nms-the-future, friend
Ok
Anyone else excited for a sentinel qaud pet?
Yeah!
I'm hoping they use the laser
It's frustrating that they allow use more multi tools and pets. But nothing new with ships
In time
Hopefully
I want an armada of ships warping in when I call my freighter
Lol
It sucks when an npc fleet warps in with a crap load of ships. And we only get 30
I mean freighters already summon your armada of frigates
If that’s the case then why is the first part of your living ship quest line sending you to a korvax owned structure that talks about the ships
It'd be cool I guess for combat frigates to spawn fighters that patrol around the freighter from time to time lol
That would work
It should be noted they are the only artificial life forms in the multiverse sk it’s possible they could be learning how to create false life
Kinda like the inversion of what we do. We create robots and AI
They make bio life?
Theories for the next big update?
glass
Obviously glass
Hopefully The Abyss is finally gunna show itself and allow us to sacrifice ourselves for the cause.
lol
or blast its manifestation in the face
I want to do that
hope it has something to do with the next Expedition being Fauna related
Judging from those datamines my whole theory of 4.0 being the big space update seems likely
Wierdly enough the patch notes stress a lack of fauna
Outside of companions which you might start with?
For this update they did do a little bit of something to the fauna
the way they traverse planets supposedly
i tried observing them and didn’t see much noticeable difference
hoping they can one day lay down, go into caves, build nests, nurture eggs, etc
What i did notice is with companions
I actually have an edited bird companion (the kind you can't get normally)
Before the update it used to just fly away the moment it was summoned
And never go in reachable distance again
Now it usually doesn't do that
Or at least returns
(i think they changed that ai which wasn't even intended for companions because that's the ai laylaps uses)
oh that’s good
Glass
Since we know that Korvax prime is the abyss, we will probably be visiting it
that meeting, if it happens, is not going be friendly let me tell you
@green folio abyss,glass and probably 1 more
The factions generally look to come in 3
Gek,korvax and vykeen
Abyss,glass and ???
Maybe telemon
Or perhaps something else
No, not at all
Telemon and glass are very much related but how much i wonder
When did the change happen? I remember I had one of the large butterflies before they made them actually obtainable and it would get stuck quite often, but was perfectly fine when obtained normally after the update (I think prisms?)
Telamon used to reside in the world of glass
Until the atlas got mad at it and put it in a suit
Ok idea for update. A war on the atlas. Travelers are starting to fear the impending doom on the simulation. The abyss and the sentinels have been harassed by the atlas for far too long. Travelers will band together with the abyss and the sentinels, while the atlas creates forces of its own. Players will have the choice to choose a side, and participate in battle areas with one another. The battle would happen across multiple systems that hg chooses. The outcome of the battle will effect the rest of the game as we know it. This is just a fun idea I had for the game :p
nah, I don't think it resided in the world of glass, telamon was a inhibitor program designed to rein in the atlas
Telamon is simply an AI, I don’t think it resided in one single place
Yep. The world of glass is a data storage area, which would be the perfect spot for Telamon to have a easy way to communicate with the atlas
Just a theory though
but the boundary failures suggest that it only saw the world of glass one time
Fair point
At this point I’m throwing ideas to the wall and seeing what sticks
So feedback like this and other people to talk with helps
There are many things the world of glass could mean
The base computer archives touch on it, if you’ve read it
The most probable theory is that it is a data storage section of the atlas, yes
time to bring out my god-like character
Hey so I have three more sentinels to defeat to free Telamon, but I’m not seeing them. What should I do?
hmm
space station chairs coming in QS store later
as well as decorative plant pots
oh my
What are the consequences of helping Artemis through the simulation?
No consequences.
Is there a difference at all?
Nothing changes story wise but helping Artemis will allow you to visit them in the Space Anomaly.
Ok thanks.
👍
Did you get the photo milestone to work
Photo milestone?! Someone super cool came up with that one
PS5?
Try using the photomode, but then manually saving it through the PS menu
Not with just the share button
Yea it's all about the exploration mechanics it seems

Not that I'm playing rn
Hope there is a symmetrical or I won't be playing
Lmao
There's a tree called treez
For some reason they haven't claimed flora and minerals this time
That's what i was doing, i ended up bringing up the full menu and pressing the screenshot button and that fixed it
Ok this is the gleam expedition
There's a lot of animal stuff
😉
And baking a cake

Yes
so as far as potential companions/followers, we'll have Robodog, Laylaps, fauna companion, and AI Minotaur? Any that I'm missing?
Pretty sure the robo dog counts as a fauna companion
me: casually reorganizing my storage inventory at a chill pace
laylaps outside my base in extreme weather:
im very in love with this lil bot
what a good friend
all these followers makin me feel a lot less alone in the universe
Am I right that the system we start in on the new expedition has noplace to upgrade our suit/tool/ship? The stations are all abandoned, etc.?
yeah, you gotta go to another system to do that
From what I understand null is the first traveller yea?
Yep
And btw, what’s that voice in the trailer?
which trailer?
The Sentinel update trailer.
oh
Rutger Hauer
it's an old voiceline he made for a pre-release trailer
Oh
So no lore importance?
Nop
Aww man
We have a hacked sentinel Minotaur, normal sentinel, and a hacked quad. I wonder what’s next. Ships or freighters maybe?
Wasn't expecting sadness from NMS today but here we are.
Wish I could comfort him by telling him about Artemis.
"your family is dead and you'll be dead too, soon" pulls out gun
Would be nice
I think it is though
It makes sense
Because them window parts would need to be on the very outside of the freighter
Making the inside base waaaay too big
But if it was a buildable space station or something like that it would make sense
I'd welcome the elevator even as a freighter addition
I mean it's currently a debate whether it's going to be freighter or station and I think it's station
This is a thing!? https://nmsspot.com/2021/07/06/the-observatory-that-stood-up-and-walked-away-from-me/
[ NOTE: This post might be considered to be a bit of a spoiler. Be warned! ] I remember the first time it happened. I was mining rocks on some planet’s surface in order to load up on Pure Ferrite and Ferrite Dust for a base I was putting together. After a while at this tedious task — lo and behold — the rock I was mining sprang legs and started ...
Ships hopefully, we can already get a Sentinel freighter
@eternal mulch is this for real in vanilla nms?
Apparently.
The rocks that grow legs and run away when mined definitely exists in vanilla. They could potentially have fixed the "whole building sprouts legs and runs" part though.
How would that even be done on accident?
The rocks inside of a building probably counted as the same asset
It's amazing that it works at all, if that's the case.
Instead of resulting in a crash.
Question is what loot you get if you kill it ..
Mordite and meat chunks, it seems.
Saw an NPC ship in the station today & I could have purchased it, however it showed blue sparks coming from the ship as if it were broken. It was not i.e. none of the systems were broken on it. It was an A Class Hauler.
Is this something new or just a graphical bug? I didn't want to ask somewhere else as this may be a spoiler.
Basically the korvax god (thorvax) smited the ship
Honestly tho, no idea what could have caused that
Isn't the Atlas the Korvax god?
Oh. It was a joke
No way
Just no!
Nonononono
Cmon @uncut harness not in this channel
Best way to get the 50 dung samples? Just find a group of herd animals on a planet, keep feeding them, and wait?
How do you check standing with a species when in an expedition? Normally you'd use the "milestones" menu, but that menu doesn't exist in expeditions. 🙂
When you select that mission in the expedition itself, then just go over to logs and it will tell you how many missions you've completed, if that helps.
That's how I kept track
you ever realize that all of the entities in the universe and the atlas being scared of 16 is kind of like reminding a kid that they only have 16 minutes of playtime left before they gotta go somewhere?
because i thought about it that way and now its really funny
Could just be referring to hexadecimal/base 16, which is the backbone of computer language and programming.
my god the no man's sky story is like having an intergalactic existential crisis
An npc being reminded of 16 could just be having an existential crisis due to being on the verge of discovering they're just code.
do i need to put spoiler text in a spoiler channel?
16 could be a repressed truth in the back of npcs minds that they subconciously avoid.
[1] seek the final interface
[2] complete the atlas path
[3] explore the galaxy
one of these is not like the rest
Like people avoiding acknowledging their own mortality...
Mortality salience is my "16".
its time to somehow get to the center of the galaxy in 16 minutes
lol
Does this make sense?
is every player who just explores freely in no mans sky stuck on the purge mission?
Don't recall.
dreams of the deep...
i just want to get to the galactic core, man
game, stop distracting me
well i mean
the sooner i can get the story out of the way the sooner i can start the real journey
You'd get more story from visiting atlas stations than you would reaching the center iirc.
But that's just my opinion.
spoilers be spoiling themselves with spoilers.. idk how a spoiler would spoil a spoiler but it happenin
Will resetting the simulation get rid of my pets
no, you don't lose anything you've acquired
yeah
if only
Is there any lore on the homeworlds of the space-faring species we meet?
Gek homeworld is Balaron, a watery planet. Korvax homeworld has been destroyed.
Can you visit Balaron?
No. Would be epic though
I hope at some point we get to visit homeworlds.
Nope, just ascended
Anyone else get the seminal qaud yet?
@pure night yeah and it's buggy as hell, the only egg you want is the one from the expedition save, when you go to your normal save and claim prize on the anomaly it gives you a different named egg, gene sequencing does nothing on it and always comes out small and orange. Where as the egg you get given on your expedition save is the one that can be edited, I really want a blue one lol
Oh also if you call your quad pet out in the anomaly it freezes other player characters, like kina desyncs you from the game! Buggy as hell
Makes since tbh
@pure night the quad egg business has pissed me right off, I'm gonna have to wait until expedition finishes to turn my save into a normal one, then I'll be able to pass the OG quad egg to my main save so then I can have a blue one lol
Yea I'd I would have known that then I wouldn't have even claimed it on my normal file
Yep
I first heard Hauer's voice (that monologue) in the Living Ship update's trailer. https://www.nomanssky.com/living-ship-update/

@pure night same I even tried to dupe the egg and it completely fucked my game none of duped eggs work lol. So I do have a little orange quad pet on my main save, hoping when it gets bigger I'll be able to gene sequence the eggs it gives
I mailed hello games the other day about it. Hopefully it's just a bug and they fix it lol
@pure night Im not sure how they'd do that for those who've already claimed, opened the egg and saved the game. unless they allow us all who claimed before said patch to be able to claim another from quicksilver kiosk
Might be a retroactive fix on the creature/egg itself if already claimed
What happens to my save file after I complete the Purge mission?
nothing. you can continue playing it. you don't lose anything
Oh, and do I receive all 15 glyphs upon completion?
yes you will. i recommend doing that side by side with the Atlas questline if you haven't, since you kill 2 birds with one stone that way.
Okay, thanks!
what is Artemis's reaction when we tell her that she is dead?
More shock, then acceptation
Especially when you tell her you are also in a sim
she died in a sim and went into a sim in another sim
Yeah kinda
Who knew my home planet turned into a god. The more you know I guess
This is one of the reasons I choose to upload them. To me their new reality isn't more or less real than the one your character inhabits.
That was my view too. I'd also rather spend eternity exploring a universe than not.
And I thought that there might be hope for something better for Artemis in the future. Maybe a way to merge their simulation with ours so we are in the same universe again.
Is there a synopsis for the NMS storyline explained?
I've been through the game several times, and still only kinda get it. A dumbed-down summary of the story/timeline would be nice to read, now that i'm through it. 🙂
Isn't it just a single system, not a whole galaxy/universe?
^
indeed it is
but the thing is, in lore, planets are not as barren as they are to us players
in lore, lots of planets have ecologies that challenge even Earth’s
we players can exhaust everything a system has to offer in an hour or two, and that’s really pushing it
in lore, however, one system is enough to last a traveler’s lifetime
Dw bro it's gonna be fixed next patch
So, do we have a confirmed gender for Artemis? Cause there namesake is the Greek Goddess of the moon.
None of the NMS characters have confirmed genders. I think the devs left it up to the headcanons/interpretations of the players.
And even if they have a concept of gender I don’t think it would be as relevant as in our heavily gendered society.
Not trying to sound woke or start a whole debate btw
Yeah I agree, especially with the travelers since they are all so different
I personally headcanon Artemis as a non-binary femme (she/they) .
And they are obviously far more intelligent and advanced then us
We need skiffs
I can see all Gek having both sexes
Parents
I reead somewhere that Vy’keen have marriages where there is a bride and a groom
Hmmm 🤔
Think I heard that too
But I think korvax is just a gender
Since they are all the same kinda
There gender is korvax 
Someone in a NMS facebook group had a citizen dispute in their settlement about a Korvax couple who got into a fight when they were drunk. They were ‘bi-convergent’ entities.
Gender and sex are two different things btw and they are often confused (I used to do that too 😅)
So maybe characters in NMS do have a biological sex but they don’t let it define their lived like we do.
Wait korvax can get drunk?
Apparently
I don’t know how Korvax ‘biology’ works lmao
Very complicated
Though I am curious
Ok so basically, we have charging ports on the sides of our chests, and we sometimes plug in to a ships power source and use the energy as a drug. I’ve rescued many crashed pilots that were high off energy and driving
No
That’s legit
Do a couple of rescue missions in korvax systems
Like using the maps from the maps salesmen
I must do these more often lol. I care too much about myself 🤣
Well when your planning to run a police force, you gotta train somehow
I wonder what happens if a Korvax gets struck by lightning
This is word for word from the guy who wrote Artemis
But he confused people by saying it would be a she if nothing else
Not sure why he threw that in there
But yeah he’s like “they’re aliens”
Artemis has some typical feminine features. And y'know, the name Artemis
If there was a confirmed gender, i feel for sure that Artemis would be a she
I had no reason to believe Artemis wasn't a she
oh interesting. i always assumed him, or no gender
Yes? Was this said in an interview?
If you listen, Artemis has a feminine voice too while Apollo has a masculine voice.
I just go by what gender the characters name origin has
Like Artemis is female and Apollo male
I didn't even know their voices sounded different
Couldn't hear them over my ship engine
And then there's the light bulb
Yep, i went with the same reasoning
I think Null is truly androgynous.
Artemis and Apollo have different voices
I should've figured since the different traveller heads give you different voices when you emote
Like Eos makes it into a hiss
I looked and nada and my brain just immediately thought she was a female
I also mainly go off the names. And I guess the reason nada would have a gender (if you could call it that) is because she is disconnected from the convergence, so she has her own identity.
I just call nada and polo male cause that's just what I default to
I feel like to many overlook the fate of korvax prime
I mean it’s fairly new lore but still, it’s some of the most important
Is their planet ever described?
Cause I just imagine a city world like corresant from star Wars
Yeha kinda
Except it’s alive and is now the abyss
That plant stuff on abandoned stations and freighters?
As far as I know, Korvax aren't physically male or female but they can choose to identify as either
The travellers probably choose their gender and their name, aside from null who is completely genderless
Name: Null
Gender: Null
You learn about it from the Sentinel pillars?
I never heard that your character makes different noises depending on their appearance.
The laugh emote makes sounds
The main 3 races laugh
Though I think it only some traveller heads let you laugh
They do need a mouth, like Eos or Helios
I have a mouth but I have never heard myself make noises, however I swear I heard my character burping after eating something lol. I guess NMS me just completely lacks manners haha
Imma test it rn
And I think during extreme weather when I look to through my analysis visor I can hear my character sighing
Okay i was confused because it didn't make a sound at first
But i just had to switch heads for a sec and it worked
So Eos which i use makes a high pitched hiss
And yours has a lower laugh
Lower laugh?
They're alright
It is rather quiet so you need the camera to be close to your character
Lower pitch
I will try this next time I’m playing NMS
Is it a very light or a deep voice?
Somewhat deep
Funny because Artemis has a light voice
Story NPCs are unique models so sounds are also different
True.
I do really want NULL's or Apollo's arms for my character
Or just Polo's hood
I like the belt device thing
Which?
The arm thing is cool too
I like how the edges of the boots are black here. The darkest you can get with your avatar is dark grey.
That’s why I wear different boots because the lighter grey colour of the sleek boots don’t match my outfit 💁🏻♀️
This is my character in another save (next to Artemis) but here I am wearing the same boots as them but the part that’s black on Artemis’ boots is light grey on mine and I can’t get it darker. I wish that was possible.
I was under the impression that every character in NMS is either nonbinary or under a different gender construct than our world
That last part is most likely the case. As we said earlier, they are so biologically different from us it’s not our place to put them into gender roles that we traditionally use
oml the sentry bot companion is adorable!
Fr fr
it's speech just makes me wanna hug it XD
“ i am having FUN Telamon NOT Telamon”
Yeah
I think on the authors Twitter
Greg Buchanan
I like how the Artemis path is an in-universe version of the two players trying to meet at launch day
And null is like the guy who bought the game early for a thousand dollars and blew right through it, telling people about it
Laylaps is the best boy, I miss him so bad ever since I started the expo
I tried my best to look for the interview but I can't find where he said exactly that.
Maybe the tweet is deleted :<
So Quicksilver Bro can’t laugh?
Didn't try it yet as i never use his head
I usually make my character look like Quicksilver Bro when doing expeditions, and I don’t think I remember him making sounds
I think Helios has a unique voice
Nada has Corvax, and a cool cape
Polo has gek
I like Polos hood
Polos got cool goggles
Hood?
I think there are Gek heads that come with his goggles
Oh that. I was thinking of a hood over his head
That would also be cool
Yea. They’re in the eye section
Assassin gek
He kills via money
A hood would be cool
Funny on some heads like NULL but cool on others like Eos
what’s eos
The shark lizard man
That’s even more confusing
Guy that lets you unlock multitool blueprints
Are you talking about the head you get from expedition 4
wait he’s a shark
those ain’t sharp enough for shark status
guy could barely chew a bit of lettuce
So what’s Quicksilver Bros deal? I saw something about “the more community research milestone you get in the anomaly the more lifelike he acts”. So is he a fully automated robot, or a korvax like thing
Agreed, it freaks me out
Shark with nose ring= AHHHHHH
Sadly you can't change it
Just the general head shape
A big bigger, grinning or smaller
I think my dream head would be an animated first spawn mask
Yesh
HEY GUYS ABYSS AM I RIGHT
None of these are spoilers.
Yeah sorry
Shark with sceptum piercing.
I was thinking of writing a prequel comic or fan-fiction thing about Apollo since they have a quite interesting past. Like how they got their brain and organs moved into a mechanical body and how they "got their revenge". The comic can also show how Apollo met Artemis.
That would certainly be interesting, Apollo's origin is relatively vague aside from being moved into a mechanical body
never going to get use to asentient minotaur following me around my base
is this fan art?
No
That’s from a speculative biology project
ima make it my background cuz it's cool
Yee
anyone have coordinates for tall eggs and proto milk???
Man im usually pretty good at these expeditions but man cant find this stuff driving me nuts!!
Ask in #nms-legacy-ships
We have a special snowflake here...
@tired magnet each of those colours means going to a new galaxy
But each colour means a different thing
So green for example will be a lush galaxy
But I would recommend searching what each one means and then choose from that
will I be able to return to the Euclid galaxy?
can I use teleports between galaxies?
Yes
And yes
Build a base in your new before traveling back, or at least put down a computer
Will make sure you don't get locked out
Hey how come the sentry tells me its name and i agreed to call it laylaps but when i look at it it still is labeled [the sentry]
If you select the Sentry you see the name "Laylaps" underneath the label "The Sentry".
not sure if this is even a spoiler but as far as making the personal sentinel drone goes the mission says to talk to iteration tethyris or whatever the hell his name is but it always says hes busy in conversation whenever i try to
Why is artemis special?
What mission are you on currently?
Just wondering how far down the rabbit hole to go
they’re super cute
@uncut harness The crash site is Artemis' crash site
So why do we have to enter 2 new systems to hear about artemis
No idea tbh
Some aspects of the story you have to just say they did it so that all players can experience it
Is artemis the only one who woke?
Initially Artemis' message comes in through your ship comms, then you have to boost the signal via holo comms towers
I already did
No, all of the travellers have awoken at some point
And i got now the recipe the artemis translator, even tho i don’t have it on the main acc bc i did the missions a long time ago
Oh alright
some of the stuff I'm going to mention is either speculative on my part or by the community.
the story is vaguely written to allow multiple interpretations
imo, Nada isn't trying to hide anything.
Nada seems to be affected by the flow of time as any other being would.
And why did artemis destroy his exo suit?
I dont recall them saying they destroyed their exosuit 🤔
Then again, it's been a while since I answered the dialogue in certain ways
Artemis said „ sorry, i cant hear u so good because i cut off the speaker of my exo suit
Oh...probably because they got tired of hearing their exosuit blare warnings to them
that's a whole other mess of spoilers
Alright
...that ive honestly not considered until now
But artemis should be needing the warnings for his own good
several things
Like?
Oh okay
18,45 million billion?
18 quintillion
Put yourself in their persepective
You just told them their friend is in danger and they have no idea who you are
Apollo said that word friend is only an say to not feel lonely
So probably apollo doesn’t believe in friendship
They are a bit of a selfaware sociopath
Oh okay
Is apollo an bounty hunter or why did he say il do nothing if theres no money?
They are somewhat militaristic
Oh okay
And definitely driven by money as well
Alr
I agree with the power of a thousand suns 💖💖💖💖
They deserve much much better 💖💖💖💖
Sadly he switched dimensions
But hes stil at the terminal primus at the anomaly
Artemis deserves many hugs and pizza 🍕
And a big home
And a nice exotic
And 24/7 daily care
If only I could provide that
Fr I have cried about Artemis 😅
Artemis is just an poor peaceful and curios soul…
Crying about a fictional character 😅
I think we'd get along well 💖
Probably
Nicd
You killed them didn’t you
you offended the vykeen
now they will cancel you on twitter
"Time to DIE" - Interloper... hehe I know its not
Vy'keen offended me, time for them to be canceled
I stand by my decision to simulate Artemis
for one reason
game lore says sims will clash into each other as the 16th final minute nears. therefore it is possible we could meet Artemis again
will it happen? prolly not, I mean hello games hasnt done anything major narratively besides side stories for the updates. but I just think its a fun thoughtpiece
sucks their star system is so small though
Good point
Also this. The same is probably the case with Artemis and co.
And Apollo 
Did yall know that the blood of the korvax are nanites
Yep
And the weird corrupted goo in abandoned facilities are too
Raw nanites
Yes. And Gek used to melt down Korvax for their nanites
And controlled nanites are the ones creating stuff
And during their enslavement Korvax used to cut into their suits and spill their nanite blood into Gek spawning pools in order to genetically modify them so they would be less aggressive and set the Korvax free
I wonder what would happen if you inject Korvax blood/nanites into a human 🤔
We may never know, seeing as the Gek wiped most sentient lifeforms from the universe.
War mongrels the lot of them!
The worst is that Gek aren't introspective. They don't feel sorry. They purely quit being warmongers not because there was a shift in their consciousness, but because they were altered.
And sad about that. Apparently they wish they were like their First Spawn ancestors.
Not because they regret what their ancestors did and learnt to do better.
Which "galaxy" should I pick there's red, green, blue and light blue
Red is extreme, green is lush, cyan is normal, blue is abandoned
Which means those types of planets will spawn more frequently in yellow systems, in the corresponding galaxy
guess ima go with green then
Thank you for helping me decide I honestly would have went with the red one if no one told me 😅
You get redditors
Gotta love it when your home planet blows up, then gets recreated, then gets blown up so big that it becomes a god : )
What
Long story
#justiceforkorvaxprime
Artemis dies
Incorrect.
Artemis is already dead, just like all other Travellers, you included.
Dead

I didn't gather that the player character is dead too. Just Artemis.
actually
We are just simulations
And carrying on with your question in the previous channel, Sentinels were created as guardians of the Atlas, the creator of the simulation, but once Travellers appeared, they became more hostile and attacked anything classed as anomalous, although the Vykeen are fighting the Sentinels and quite friendly towards Travellers
Who says humans exist in the no mans sky multiverse
depends how the big the multiverse is
I highly doubt that humans exist there but for this instance let's just say they do or different universes collided with eachother and in one of them humans do exist.
255 universes
oh my mistake
Should i kill Artemis?
Sure why not
i let them go 🥺
wait, travellers should be humans, as they are the creators of the simulation, thus we are
Well they no longer work for the atlas. Ever since the fall of korvax prime (or rise if you look at it look that way) they have attacked all travelers damaging planets as it reminds them of the fall of korvax prime (which could imply the travelers has something to do with it)
Apologies gr0wler with a Zero from the exotic dreams galactic company, but this is false
Ops, I should've studied the lore better 😅
It’s very complex and hard
Nms lore is more vague than complex
in fact if you wanna get technical, theres also the ARG side of the lore that explicitly says the dreamers/"anomalies" are of human origin. and then the dreamers became intersected into the travellers in the NEXT update
so there is actually more evidence backing them being closer to humanity than not
but thats with the dreamers/anomalies of the travellers, not with the general traveller race specifically
so ig you could consider travellers to be based on human origin though alienified/procedurally generated away from the creator. and then the anomalies being probably completely human under their suits
unplug from simulation
But weren the Gek responsible for the destruction of Korvax Prime?
Yea
The gek of the first spawn
Do not get it confused with general geks
The geks also destroyed the vykeen
And the vykeen was the only thing holding the sentinels back
So then the sentinels came back
General Gek are the modern Gek we know today.
The Vy'Keen weren't destroyed but they were attacked by the First Spawn
But essentially I am correct
Almost
I just wanna know why I can choose to be a vykeen yet they still call me a damn interloper.
So rude.
Cause the gek inflicted heavy losses
They lost military control
They still apparently sometimes hunt them
But not to the previous level
The korvax changed the genes of the gek so they changed
They are a bit jittery about their past
That happens everywhere
Litterally
Even atlas
It's annoying
Ik has it happened before
Like apollo or null
Yea
Not really nada did the kttz
When I was in the anomoly
What's that supposed to mean
?
I still don't understand that
Y should we wear a exosuit in a space station
Some parts don't make sense
I think they communicate through our exosuit
That glitches
So our exosuit problem
Like bad speakers
I mean even with Google translate its not 100% accurate
When I had that quest I broke a technology merchant with it. Permanently
Ifk
That guys still in therapy
I left that system and haven't been back. I didn't know it was possible to permanently break a npc lol
Goes to show translations are never gonna be perfect
I once nearly broke the entire space station asking bout 16
We have a permanent c class exosuit
Its speakers don't work glitchy
I was making a joke - never realised u could do that
Isn't that your ship class?
Mine went from b to s when i upgraded my ship
Not that I don't believe you but I've not upgraded my suit in many moons and my class still went from b to s from a ship upgrade
So idk
Yep, and the sentinels failed to defend it. But somehow in the process it ascended and became the abyss
Anyone else notice a bunch more leaking pips in the anomaly after the sentinel uppdate?
You mean leaking oil pipes?
Assuming it's oil off course...
Yah, just more stuff leaking
It feels like it's breaking down with every update, or are they just adding more fluff? 😅
It would be a interesting lore bit
Hm. Checking old pictures both interior and exterior are more beat up... It's a bit hard to tell because they also add more things
What do you think? Is the nexus collapsing with every update? 
Its sted on the wiki
Where?
Probably in the next huge update (or sequel) the Nexus is going to be destroyed
?
It said on wiki
Yes
Why look at that
"With each major update, the Space Anomaly is in worse condition with missing panels, steam leaks, and exposed pipework"
Guess not just fluff 😅
I wonder what the Anomaly eventually will look like if it won't be renovated haha
Idk if this counts as a spoiler but i had to take a group photo
I think it would be a cool arc if the anomaly explodes, causing a special kind of black hole to open that takes us to a whole planet that’s one big city just for travelers
Imagine Abyss or something targeting Anomaly and causing some bad stuff to happen there. They already have impostor of Ariadne there
Ariadne didn't seem well. They were sick.
But what about the people inside the Anomaly?
If you think about it tho, there are a lot of highly qualified mechanics on that ship
Think about it: space ship experts, exo craft machanics, portal technicians
They are all about to sabotage
I read about that.
They’d be fine
I though that the Atlas itself will be in the core, protected by Sentinel ships,trying to prevent you from restarting
And you team up with apollo depending on your choices
But nope,teleport
I wish
Like a final battle or something like that
Question, as I'm still a fair bit away from it but I wanna plan forward, how does the restart exactly happen? Only the starter galaxy is restarted or others too? What exactly is lost and what is kept exactly?
To my knowledge are you referring to the atlas path?
Not Atlas path but the main line of story quests
Yea. The restart though takes you to the atlas no?
No from what I know
One moment
The starter quest was artemis path right?
The only restart quest line I'm familiar with is that of (restarting the simulation) which only takes you to a new galaxy.
All that really does though is takes you to 1 of 4 galaxies you choose from. And you load in like starting a new game but your really not starting a new game.
Mhm. So the starter galaxy will be kept in tact or will it be erased/restarted?
It will be kept intact
Just build a base computer in the new galaxy and you can easily return to it to explore whenever you wish
There's like 256 galaxies that you can access in game
ah nice, so I can keep expanding in it
Oh, one more thing: is atlas path available after that or would I need to do atlas path first and artemis later?
now throw in Virtual Reality and your No Mans Sky is complete lol
is there any third party software that can help with mapping locations you visit?
Wrong chat for that 
People in #nms-questions could help you better then us
ok thanks sorry about that
Good next story link?
No mans sky is basically the game it’ll always be, but i keep thinking they need to show not tell in their narratives for this game
But I love HG so I don’t wanna sound like this is at all necessary, they have done extremely well
oh no you're completely correct
Maybe was a misinterpretation
Should i let artemis die or Upload her?
Your choice, you have to live with your decision
i agree with this statement
Your sins will follow you for all time. Choose wisely
I chose she dies
I choose to upload them but for each choice there are pro's and cons.
Is this your first gameplay?
@drifting pulsar windows for freighters have been datamined
I know 😂
I'll finally build a freighter base when they arrive
Yep!
