nms-spoilers

[knotty mountain]

Pretty sure the atlas path mission never goes away even if you complete it

[autumn wasp]

Which one is atlas path

[simple oyster]

the one where you have to collect seeds

[autumn wasp]

Oh

[simple oyster]

So no consequences if I seek the final interface instead of the “complete the atlas path” option?

[autumn wasp]

No

[simple oyster]

Oh okay thanks

[simple oyster]

Kinda was expecting a bigger reward for completing the Artemis quest line

[thorny rover]

tbf, its mostly a tutorial

[fervent cobalt]

Ok, so if the gek were designed by the atlas to be traders, what's with the first spawn?

[thorny rover]

that's the thing, they weren't

[mental socket]

Geks became peaceful travelers after Korvax altered them with Nanite foam or something

[heady wyvern]

The First Spawn were designed for aggressive conquest - as seen in them maintaining a stranglehold on the Korvax. They became traders - the modern Gek - when the Korvax began tainting their eggs with their nanite-blood, a mass sacrifice that fundamentally changed the next generation of Gek.

[grim peak]

I think it was nanite blood... Korvax are perplexing beings.

[fervent cobalt]

Ok, then why don't the First Spawn return when we reset the simulation?

[green folio]

It doesn’t restart all of time, it just restarts the hardware. Think of it like when you restart your computer

[uncut harness]

Can someone explain the end of the Artemis path

Was the atlas a pseudo hello games?

[thorny rover]

No

[uncut harness]

Can u explain

[thorny rover]

Hg makes a game

The Creator of Atlas intended for Atlas to be something else

A dream software or something

[grim peak]

It didn't say reboot, it said reset as though it's starting over.

[green folio]

True, but I re read some things and it resets the simulation, not time.

[grim peak]

I assume that it's simulating time as well.

[dry girder]

@potent bloom @vapid kelp

Ok so what's the best option

Reset or refuse

[grim peak]

How much technology do you have in your general tabs?

[potent bloom]

It really is personal preference. I prefer reset

[vapid kelp]

What I and @potent bloom said in #nms-questions , resetting places you in a different galaxy, refusing means stay in your current galaxy.

[potent bloom]

It's free travel to other galaxies. But if you refuse, you can still get to them - you just have to do manual core jumps.

[dry girder]

Does A or B change your gameplay

[potent bloom]

No, other than being in a different galaxy, and different galaxies have different probabilities for what kind of planets are in a yellow star system.

[dry girder]

I think I should go with option A

And reset it

[grim peak]

A will break all the technology in the general tabs of your exosuit and starship, as well as all the stuff in your multitool... But you get a new galaxy to explore.

[vapid kelp]

It won't exactly change too much because you can go back to the galaxy anytime or move to a different one both via players, bases, or visited space stations

[dry girder]

I came all this way to do it not just refuse

And spend all that time for nothing

[potent bloom]

That was my feeling as well

[dry girder]

WHAT

[potent bloom]

But yes, be aware that it will also break all your tech

that happens with every core jump

[dry girder]

No it don't

Whenever I warp everything is fine

[vapid kelp]

Well you didn't really, you get an exosuit upgrade called Remembrance and completion of the story

[potent bloom]

core jump is not a warp jump

[grim peak]

It doesn't break the stuff in the technology tabs

[potent bloom]

Yes, I was about to edit that

😄

[dry girder]

Can I repair it tho

[potent bloom]

yes

[dry girder]

Or does it completely disappear

[grim peak]

Yes

[dry girder]

And can never be used again

[grim peak]

Just might take a lot of resources

[potent bloom]

Nothing is permanently broken

[dry girder]

Oh

[grim peak]

You can dismantle most of it too if you don't feel like repairing.

[dry girder]

Is this for Reset?

[vapid kelp]

Either choice.

[dry girder]

How do I get the remembrance upgrade

[potent bloom]

This is why most people have a trashy ship and a crap multi-tool. The trash ship you just don't have upgrades outside the tech tab, and the multi-tool you just don't use.

[vapid kelp]

make you choice and when you become teleported out you will learn the blueprint

[dry girder]

ILL GO WITH RESET

[grim peak]

Cool

[dry girder]

AND FLY MY SHIP TO THE SPACE STATION FOR REPAIRS

[potent bloom]

Make sure you build a base in the new galaxy before using a teleporter to go anywhere

[dry girder]

Okay

[grim peak]

Oh.
Why so?

[potent bloom]

So you can get back 😄

[dry girder]

Ok ok

3

2

[grim peak]

You can't just use the station teleporter again?

[dry girder]

1

DONE

[potent bloom]

You can

but I don't like taking chances with HG and bugs

[vapid kelp]

Enjoy that view and soundtrack 😄

[potent bloom]

I don't know about you, but my station list isn't always perfect

[potent bloom]

imo choose green 😄

[grim peak]

Been fine for me so far. How many stations do you have?

[potent bloom]

A lot

they fall off

[dry girder]

What does imo mean

[grim peak]

I've got 30-40 at this point

[dry girder]

Thanks but there are 4 orbs

[grim peak]

"in my opinion"

[potent bloom]

I meant choose the green orb

oh

😄

[dry girder]

I wanna choose red because I like the colour red

Is red good

[potent bloom]

red is harsh galaxy

[vapid kelp]

Oh select one then and

Enjoy that view and soundtrack 😄

[potent bloom]

higher chance of extreme planets

[dry girder]

Does each one have a difficulty because I don't wanna choose it then get beaten up

[potent bloom]

blue is empty, higher chance of dead

[vapid kelp]

Meaning red will have high chances of extreme storms in yellow systems

[dry girder]

So is red the best then

More to explore and experience

[potent bloom]

if what you want is extreme storms

They all have plenty to explore

[dry girder]

If i build a base can I survive it

[potent bloom]

Then go ahead

[vapid kelp]

Of course like always if your inside a structure.

[grim peak]

There's a darker blue and a lighter blue...

[dry girder]

Yay

Wait

What's the best option tho

Red or green

[vapid kelp]

It's really up to you, which ever you think. Just be aware of what they offer for biome possibilities and such.

[potent bloom]

Teal is normal, blue is empty

Lush is green, red is harsh

[dry girder]

What is lush

?

[grim peak]

More paradise planets etc.

[potent bloom]

I like paradise planets so I picked green. If you like hellholes, pick red. (I like them but there's plenty in Euclid :D)

[dry girder]

I really want to choose the best option man

Does red have those stupid robots

[potent bloom]

There isn't a best option

Everywhere does

But red is more likely to have them

[dry girder]

Should I just go with green

[vapid kelp]

You can always go to another galaxy if you like on your own.

[dry girder]

Oml this is so hard

Red or green

[grim peak]

I think so. It'll take you to Eissentam, which is pretty popular afaik

[vapid kelp]

I understand but don't go so hard on this, you always have the options.

[dry girder]

What's that

[potent bloom]

Yep. And if you find it too boring, just head for the core and jump to a new one

[autumn wasp]

Second most popular after Euclid ofc

[grim peak]

A galaxy, same as Euclid (the starting galaxy)

[vapid kelp]

A popular lush galaxy

[potent bloom]

Eissentam is the first lush galaxy. It's galaxy #10 iirc

[dry girder]

Is green all paradise

[potent bloom]

No

[dry girder]

Or are some planets harsh

[potent bloom]

4x more likely in yellow star systems

[dry girder]

Like red

[potent bloom]

There are some extreme worlds

The modifiers only apply to yellow stars

[dry girder]

What do you guys recommend the best option I choose for gameplay

Red or green

[autumn wasp]

Green

More people in it

[dry girder]

Because I'm new and you guys expert

[potent bloom]

What do you like to do?

[vapid kelp]

@dry girder there's a pin in #nms-questions if you want to know how these different galaxies work for biome chances and it only affects yellow star systems

[dry girder]

I wanna build a big base on a storm planet but I don't want to keep being annoyed by sceptics robots

[vapid kelp]

It's all the same in every galaxy with sentinels in that same game mode.

[grim peak]

If you want the galaxy to be nice, green. If you want a bit more of a challenge, red.

[potent bloom]

You just need to pick a storm planet that has no sentinel presence

They exist

(unless you play survival)

[dry girder]

Does Red atleast have 1 paradise planet

[vapid kelp]

It's possible, all biomes are possible in all galaxies, just the chances of it are affected, that's all.

[grim peak]

I'd assume so, just harder to find than Euclid or Eissentam.

[dry girder]

Ok ok ok hmm

How many planets are in green and red

[potent bloom]

billions

you can never explore them all

there are 18 quintillion in the game

[dry girder]

But there are usually 4 or 5

[vapid kelp]

@dry girder if you really are regretting the choice you made in the galaxy you chose to reset in, I can take you a different one if need be.

[potent bloom]

we aren't talking about systems, we're talking about galaxies

[dry girder]

Woah

[dry girder]

But I'm on PS5 not PC

[potent bloom]

Do you have the multiplayer addon? I forget what it's called

[vapid kelp]

This game is cross platform it doesn't matter. I'm also on PlayStation so that makes things even easier.

[dry girder]

Since its galaxy's I think I'll go with red since there can be some good planets atleast right so it's not all that harsh?

[vapid kelp]

PlayStation Plus subscription

[potent bloom]

It's just probability, so yeah, there will be some nice planets. Just fewer of them

[dry girder]

Yes but I just click first option

[dry girder]

I'll go with red

[potent bloom]

Enjoy! And now for realz, enjoy the sound and light show

[autumn wasp]

Since you chose red if you ever want to go to green just @ me and I can take you there

[dry girder]

Thank you guys!

I'm so excited

[potent bloom]

Have fun!

[dry girder]

Hopefully all goes well

[vapid kelp]

@dry girder I can help you with multiplayer when you want me to bring you to other galaxies if you like, just make your choice.

[potent bloom]

Oh

one last thing

[dry girder]

?

[potent bloom]

put your ship launcher in your tech tab

so you can summon it 😄

[dry girder]

Okay!

I'll do that right now then go back to orb

I can't do it

I just have to go threw red orb

[vapid kelp]

It's fine just make your pick, don't stress it

[dry girder]

No I meant the ship

I can't spawn it

I hope I have enough stuff to repair tho

Check #nms-questions to see the pic

[potent bloom]

don't forget you can summon your freighter

although that will only help if you have the matter beam

[dry girder]

Okay

I clicked red

Omg am i ready for this

This is scary check #nms-questions to see pic again

[grim peak]

If not now, then when?

[dry girder]

IM GONNA DO IT

IM ENTERING THE GLOWING RED RAGING GALAXY

GOOOO

[grim peak]

Have fun.

[autumn wasp]

Enjoy the music

[dry girder]

Wow this music and show is amazing I love it but I'm scared

New galaxy discovered

[vapid kelp]

Calypso discovered 👍

[dry girder]

How did you know the name!

IM HERE

ITS COLD

[vapid kelp]

Because if you were in Euclid then it would take you there and I went past that galaxy myself so I know the name.

[dry girder]

-99.9 *C

AHHH

WHERE IS MY SHIP

I DIED

NOOO

oh I respawned

@vapid kelp @grim peak @autumn wasp

Where is my ship

I can't find it or spawn it

[autumn wasp]

Yeah fix your hazard protection first

[vapid kelp]

Summon it since you didn't break your launch thrusters

[autumn wasp]

Then worry about ship

[dry girder]

WAIT MY VISOR

THATS WHY I CANT SEE ANYTHING

REPAIRED

I FOUND MY SHIP

WOOOOO

AND FIXED MY HAZARD PROTECTION

Fixed the ship

I'm flying to space Station

[uncut harness]

I have recently been informed that there are portal codes to traveler graves

And I require said portal codes

[potent bloom]

they're in the pins

[uncut harness]

I never completed nms but what's the ending

[mental socket]

There is no ending really

[grim peak]

You could technically consider the end of the Artemis story an ending, but just barely since there's still so much to do in the game.

apergos considers the entire Artemis path a tutorial lol

[mental socket]

Yeah. There are some points where you could say "Okay, I did it" and stop there. But it's never really the "ending"

Also we occasionally get new questlines that expand the lore or move old stories forward. Kinda like Trace of Metal or Under a Rebel Star

[sullen hornet]

There aren't any real spoilers except for what comes out in new updates sometimes

The plot is pretty vague as a whole

What would even be something you could spoil to a new player

[mental socket]

Hmm... the universe is a simulation. Real Ariadne was killed/captured by the Abyss. Our suits AI is actually Telamon.

Stuff like that are kinda spoilery I would think

Atlas is slowly dying

our character is a copy of its creator

That's about it I think. The biggest spoilers

[heady wyvern]

Artemis was dead all along.

Another good one

[eternal radish]

I see it more like "Part 1: Artemis: The Explorer", "Part 2: The Atlas", "Part 3: New Beginnings" (after the reset).

[safe kiln]

the Anomaly's existence, a little

at least, it's first appearance is striking enough that spoiling it is kinda lame

[eternal radish]

Yeah. Let those newbies be scared as heck so they think it's some kind of Death Star or evil mothership, like I did. Lmao

[safe kiln]

yep lol

[eternal radish]

I still remember being attacked by pirates when the Anomaly showed up for me for the first time. The Anomaly coming out of warp was a bit of a jumpscare for me and due to it looking so intimidating and me being attacked by pirates at that time I thought that was their mothership lol, so I was shooting the heck out of but it won't get destroyed. Good times 😅

[sullen hornet]

The universe being a simulation always came off to me like a meta reference to no mans sky as a video game, hinting that the game is aware of it being a game on some level.

[eternal radish]

Breaking the fourth wall.

[sullen hornet]

Yep

I've considered the story is of characters in a simulation becoming aware of the simulation and developing technology to research the nature of the simulation, only to discover their reality is a video game being played by a being with the power to reset them at any moment, i.e. the player.

The "god" of the simulation, the Atlas, would probably be referring to the game engine or code, it's only purpose to carry out it's programming. Then the world of glass as speculated before could be referring to the OS of the computer.

No idea if NMS would go there but it's interesting to think about since that would fit within the existing plot in a lot of ways

The characters trying to uncover their own reality

[safe kiln]

the world of glass seems to be more like some sort of garbage collection

[sour tartan]

ominous

[candid lark]

The "world of glass" is actually thought to refer to the computer screen......

[mental socket]

It's a storage or trash dump for data in the lore. Everything that dies gets wiped/stored there. Sentinels also travel through World of Glass freely through Boundary Failures

Basically the entire NMS universe could be displayed on a computer screen tho. If the Atlas had a visual interface. Nobody knows

[candid lark]

Yeah, this is going on the the idea that its a matrix like simulation, and in the "real" world, the game is viewed through computer screens

[heady wyvern]

I'm personally seeing it as such: If something is to be remembered in the simulation after it dies, it still needs to exist somewhere in the Atlas's file structure. The World of Glass is exactly that - an archive of dead/"deleted" simulated entities which allows the Atlas to continue referencing them.

[undone glade]

ooh

yeah

[safe kiln]

that's a sensible hypothesis

[sharp zinc]

so i have to reset the simulation now but, how do i do that?

the only main missions are: progress to the galactic center and reset the simulation, i have no idea what im doing anymore

[thorny rover]

Warp 16 times anywhere

[boreal wigeon]

Is anyone able to help me rq

Is it worth going to a new galaxy

If it means your stuff breaks

Cause im about to

[woven iris]

you can buy a disposable ship and multitool before doing it

[sharp zinc]

already did

that part is done, now i have to make heart of the sun but idk how

[thorny rover]

Do the Atlas path mission

[cedar silo]

The frigate is a space cow with tentacles. I love it

[sharp zinc]

i just figured it out, now the atlas station is empty and idk what that means

[rich pond]

how do you mark a pic as spoiler on phone

nvm can’t send it here

still would like to know

[icy citrus]

Once you have it selected, click it again

[rich pond]

thanks

[fervent cobalt]

Turns out that where you start The Purge does effect where you come on when you reset the simulation.

ie, I started ~4k from the core, and I arrived in Hilbert ~4k from the core

[candid lark]

Thats interesting to know.

[queen minnow]

So if I'm at the core and reset I'll start at the core?

[fervent cobalt]

Yes

[twin light]

Hello hello || I finished the atlas path and all, I chose the green galaxy, unfortunately I jumped to my old base to save stuff and I didn't make a base back on the green galaxy, can I travel to someone's base in the green galaxy so I can make a base there?||

[willow stirrup]

That's Artemis, not Atlas, and #nms-lfg-or-trades should be the way to go to get to Eissentam (if there's not a player base there in the Anomaly)

[twin light]

I'll check it out thanks!

[sharp zinc]

my vy'keen armorer won't stop asking for daggers, i gave them but he won't stop asking, i reloaded but the same bug happened, i'm not gonna not give him the daggers so i need help

[heady wyvern]

If I recall correctly, this can bug out if the Armorer is on your freighter.

Otherwise, I guess you should have all the daggers ready up front when you return to them

[sharp zinc]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii kinda just let them get old

and they weren't on the freighter

[heady wyvern]

Regardless, my advice stands. I don't remember how many they need, but I know the game tells you.

[uncut harness]

Hello peoples, I am going to the Atlas Anomaly repeatedly. They keep giving me new formulas, does this end or is it continuous?

I just received Novae Reclaiment. I'm enjoying the games story and stuff, just want to know if I should keep going on talking to the Atlas or head off to do other things

[rancid ether]

It ends eventually. I believe there are 10 types of stones that you have to craft but i might be misrememebering

[rancid ether]

The Atlas Path is the first "story" quest the game had since launch. If you havent already continued with it, the Artemis storyline has a lot more going on

[uncut harness]

Okay, I'm traveling around a few more times

Yeah I've went down Artemis a good bit. Artemis is now deceased, Patterns in Time is what I have now, to speak out to cartographers of the races

Other than that there's The Space Anomaly still and Recover Atlas Seeds

Feeling my way through the objectives haha

[rancid ether]

Oh ok, so youre a fair bit of a ways through then

[uncut harness]

I just got "The Heart Of The Sun" formula

Fuck, this stuff is so cool and interesting

I'll continue working on it

Appreciate the response and help @rancid ether

♥️🤙

[cinder nymph]

How much more is there to the Artemis quest line after the point where BlindMan was?

[icy citrus]

The heart of the sun is from the Atlas path

Oh

Two more quests

Almost there

[gloomy kite]

You should be able to tp to the space station in that galaxy

[cinder nymph]

Sick, thanks!

[analog breach]

still got the egg

[cinder nymph]

I’m so sorry, are you on now by any chance?

[analog breach]

yes

[cinder nymph]

Ok

My friend code is X01B-YQ0T-7X8RY

[analog breach]

added. loading game

[cinder nymph]

Ok

[analog breach]

waiting on anomaly

[cinder nymph]

Ok

What’s your friend code?

[analog breach]

5HW3-8PC2-AN9TM

[cinder nymph]

K

Invite me to your party.

[analog breach]

duno why but cant invite :/

[cinder nymph]

Is multiplayer enabled for you?

[analog breach]

yes

its probably PC - console thing

can you join my sesion?

[cinder nymph]

I traded with a console dude before and it worked fine. Do you have a portal you could use?

I’ll just join your session

There we go

[analog breach]

👍

[cinder nymph]

Awesome, thanks

[analog breach]

np.

[queen minnow]

FUCK WHAT DO I DO I'M HORRIBLE AT CHOICED ||I'm at the purge and it's giving me a choice to either seek the final interface, complete the atlas path or explore the galaxy||

[tulip lodge]

explore!

[muted moth]

it's really up to you to choose

[tulip lodge]

But really that's another choice that doesn't matter.

[muted moth]

ethical dilemmas and all that

[queen minnow]

But I'm really curious what they all do and I can't decide

So far I've been a mean man to the atlas

[muted moth]

you might play another save in the future and take the other path, whatever it is

[queen minnow]

I guess

Ima go for A fuck it

[sand summit]

Does submitting to the leviathan kill you?

[muted moth]

you will find out

what other choice do you have, anyways?

[sand summit]

I seriously don't want to lose hours of progress cause I have 2 missions incomplete

[muted moth]

if you've gotten to that point, you know you're almost at the end

will you walk away now, so close?

[sand summit]

Probably, cause I dont want to lose some of the stuff I've gotten

[muted moth]

it is your choice, traveller. the entity can only offer you a way out, it cannot compel you to take that way

[uncut harness]

is it good for me to put atremis into a sim or end suffering

and does it have any affect on the game at all

[heavy lodge]

I think it's just a moral ambiguity choice, I haven't seen any fallout from the choice

[uncut harness]

oh okay

[night reef]

when i did it it was talking about a guy who found a drone that wouldn’t attack him and he named it laylaps

[uncut harness]

The base computer archives?

[night reef]

yes

he said the drone would follow him around and he decided to name the drone laylaps

[uncut harness]

Laylaps named themself

[night reef]

i decided the guys name was telmon bc laylaps is saying “telamon not telamon” because telamon was his original owner but we aren’t telamon

[uncut harness]

You OK for spoilers?

[night reef]

yah ik but probably chose that name because it’s deep in his memories

yeah

[uncut harness]

We are telamon

[night reef]

oh fr

[uncut harness]

Yeah

[night reef]

that’s weird

[uncut harness]

We are all telamon

[night reef]

what like the players or all the npcs too

[uncut harness]

Not the npcs

The travellers

[night reef]

oh

and that’s why the games always talking about we can’t remember our past or something huh

[uncut harness]

Because we don't have one

[night reef]

??

so what we were born when we started the save?

[uncut harness]

The atlas simulates telamon to work out why telamon abandoned it

[night reef]

ohh

so atlas has relationship problems 💀

[uncut harness]

The atlas was considered inefficient

So telamon left it on a planet

Where it will run for 16 more minutes

[night reef]

oh

that explains a lot

when does the story show that?

[uncut harness]

Which part?

[night reef]

when it explains we aren’t telamon and that he abandoned it on a planet

[uncut harness]

Atlas path iirc

[night reef]

i couldn’t understand half the stuff atlas was saying during that bc i didn’t have all the atlas words

dang

[night reef]

what is iirc

[candid lark]

"If I Remember Correctly"

[night reef]

oh

nvm

stupid

[uncut harness]

Atlas after inventing a language and simulating a universe where no one can speak it

[eternal radish]

So the exosuit voice is actually us speaking to ourselves? 😅

In the boundary failure logs I found that Telamon used to be a Traveller and then they suddenly "woke up" as the exosuit voice in other Travellers.

[uncut harness]

So my Patterns In Time quest is being a bit weird. The quest to do contracts for the Gek hasn't moved from 1/2

I've done 6 contracts so far, I'm on a decent reputation standing with them aswell

[eternal radish]

It seems like the player character ("Traveller"), Telamon Artemis, Apollo and all other characters are all aspects/fractals of the same consciousness.

[uncut harness]

Any advice?

[eternal radish]

I have no idea. It might be a bug. Did you have selected the quest when doing it?

[icy citrus]

Make sure you are doing gek missions, not just missions in gek systems

[uncut harness]

I'm getting them from the Gek and the tracker is on the bottom right of the screen

I'll go try to do another

[icy citrus]

But getting them from the Gek doesn't mean they are gek missions

[jovial violet]

is Telamon not simply a subroutine within the simulation, just as the sentinels are a subroutine? i always thought the boundary failures were pretty explicit in painting Telamon as an observing entity, capable of communing with Atlas as needed. during one such communication, the Atlas changed Telamon's role within the simulation. no longer a passive, outside observer, they now observe every iteration of the simulation via the traveller's and their exosuits. Telamon was never a traveller, or supposed to be a stand-in for the player, and are just another omnipresent entity permanently attached to us.

i think when they make direct reference to a "reader" outside of the simulation is when this is most obvious. they wouldn't communicate to whoever is able to read the boundary failures if it was supposed to be their own self, and neither would they feel the need to ask such questions if it was our player avatar they were talking to. not even null, i think, has the ability to understand or interact with anything higher in the simulation hierarchy than the Atlas' interfaces. Telamon can go beyond that, and ask the player if they are certain they themselves are not just simulations, too.

[eternal radish]

That's how I kinda understood that.

[jovial violet]

ahh discord's reply function is quite half-baked, i wish i could quote everyone i'm responding to 😅

[jovial violet]

yeah, i think it's fair enough that the game is bizarre enough that everyone's going to pick up things differently. i hadn't thought of Telamon being one of the many fractured pieces of whatever made the Atlas

i still think it's more likely that Telamon is a similar entity to the Atlas, that being a creation of some higher power, along with the Atlas itself. i just really like the fact that Telamon, being "trapped" in every Traveller's exosuit, still observes the multiverse in a near-omnipresent manner, being present in every single universal iteration as a result

[eternal radish]

I interpreted that Telamon once was a Traveller

[jovial violet]

they could have been, but likely not in the same sense that we are "travellers", i think? before being attached to other travellers such as ourselves, they seemed to interact with/observe the universe in a way that not even the supposed first traveller null could

[eternal radish]

To me it seemed to imply Telamon used to be a physical being.

Maybe not a Traveller like us.

Traveller+ or something. Lmao

[jovial violet]

ahh, finally, the ultimate traveller!!

[eternal radish]

Peak Traveller!

Makes me think... What if Gleam is secretly Telamon? 🤔

[wise siren]

What if you were expecting Telamon but it was actually Dio

[thorny rover]

Then Dio would be trapped in the simulation

And that means Atlas has the power to put real beings in the simulation

[icy citrus]

If the ARG is canon, it does

[gloomy isle]

Isn't that the canon behind the anomaly race? I may be misremembering

[icy citrus]

It is the precursor to that yep. One of the Dreamers had the same iteration number as Telamon

One we didn't rescue

[eternal radish]

From what I saw of it and how I interpreted it the ARG seems like a parallel storyline to NMS next to the current one.

[icy citrus]

The suits the dreamers wore are the exact same suits we use now

It always seemed to me to be the beginning of what would become the Atlas

Like iteration 1

[eternal radish]

I watched some old videos of No Man's Sky from like 2018 or something and some details of the dialogue used to be different.

Other than that, it seemed like back in the day the building blocks for the NMS universe were playdoh or something haha.

Can't believe what a long way this game has come. I wish they kept the dialogue the same tho. It's more interesting.

I love how words like "hellhole" are used here

[icy citrus]

Probably one of the anchor points

[eternal radish]

4

[eternal radish]

I think that's where Artemis was really stranded lol

It was also very dark there - - - > "sunless world".

Ah man if only Artemis had a minotaur...

[icy citrus]

Hey now, I built a home on that lovely world

[eternal radish]

How dare you???

[muted moth]

to show it who's boss, I'm pretty sure

[rancid ether]

or a phantom system, as those stars dont show up in the galaxy map

[eternal radish]

I want to visit a phantom system sometime

[rancid ether]

Back in the oooooold days, there was a bug that would happen with warps/teleporters where the game would glitch out and send you to Likholu (how it was originally discovered). Likholu was basically a death sentence for the save if that happened because the galaxy map would crash if you opened it and there was no real way to get out of the system once you got there (even during Origins when a bunch of people would end up there, teleporting out would often arrive back in Likholu).
My thoery is Artemis was stuck in a phantom system due to a botched warp/teleport

Then couple that with the story moments where the Atlas redirects your use of the portals and the apparent malice that it inflicts on Artemis and Apollo, and it certainly feels like HG capitalized on some of the known bugs to build them as part of the story/lore

[eternal radish]

Fun fact: it was 16:16 when I read your message haha.

I've seen someone mentioning this earlier.

[eternal radish]

They did this with the Wayward Cube. It used to be a space station glitch and when it was removed a lot of players were upset and they thought the floating blue cube was part of the game. Then after an update HG added it back as an expedition reward.

[uncut harness]

Telamon is the creator of the atlas, who abandoned it on a planet because it had become obsolete. The atlas then simulated the travellers as telamon to try and work out why Telamon abandoned it

[naive plank]

So at the end of the atlas quest line it has you make the sun orb thing and out it in the alter then go throw some black holes. I did they and it gave me and I made the seed of a star orb and the remembrance orb but it won't let me reset atlas after that. It has me repeating all of this over and over. So I'm comfused

[icy citrus]

The last step is forever - you can make as many blackholes as you like. But once you have the Star seed and can see blackholes on the map - it's finished.

[thorny rover]

Also that quest doesn't let you reset Atlas

Its The Purge mission

[naive plank]

Well how to I travel to different galaxies? I never got that option

[icy citrus]

As Pandora noted, it's the other main questline - after the Purge

Do whichever isn't named Atlas or Space Anomaly

At the top of your log

Eventually you will get the option to reset

That allows you to choose a galaxy from 4 options

[naive plank]

Yea already finished the other one. I only have the purge for atlas and space anomaly left. I didn't know reseting atlas was a thing and when he asked me I said no and that's when he gave me the remembrance orb and just said it will end in 16 days and that's it.

[thorny rover]

Huh, then you can't reset it anymore

[naive plank]

So I'm stuck in the first galaxy? Didn't know if I could still do it.

[thorny rover]

You are not stuck

You can still go to other galaxies

You can go to 256 galaxies

[naive plank]

So I have the atlas quest called the new beginnings is the one I'm on after the purge.

I would send a pic of what it says but it won't let me post pics

[thorny rover]

Then go to #nms-photomode-gallery

It will let you there

[naive plank]

Okay

[thorny rover]

Yeah, you finished The Purge

So that means non reset

You want to go to another galaxy? Make your Journey through the galactic core

[naive plank]

How? I got close as I could to the center but it wouldn't let me travel to the center. I was like 2k LY away from it and nothing closer.

[thorny rover]

Yeah, its 600k LY away

[thorny rover]

Oh wait

Wait a bit

!faq-CoreWarp

!faq-CoreWarp

!Faq-CoreWarp

Wtf?

[naive plank]

I was at closest solar system. i used portals then warped the rest.

[jovial violet]

i'm interested to hear your reasoning on this, as it's not an interpretation i've considered. what makes you think Telamon is/was the entity that created the Atlas, rather than being a subroutine of the larger simulation? as far as i understand it, we know of at least three subroutines on whatever supercomputer the Atlas runs on - the Atlas itself, generating universes; the Sentinels, safeguarding these simulated universes; and Telamon, observing these universes and generating reports

[thorny rover]

!Faq-CoreWarp

[jovial violet]

i basically see Telamon as a glorified crashdump.txt generator, which feels mean but there we go :')

[uncut harness]

At boundary failures Telamon talks about the atlas as if it is their creation

Reporting on its functionality, running and observing the simulation

[jovial violet]

i believe that to merely be it's original role within the larger simulation structure, rather than an indication that it is, itself, a higher power

the Sentinel logs show this, i think: the Sentinels seem pretty steadfast in believing the "progenitors who birthed [the travellers]" to be separate to Telamon itself, which the logs directly attempt to communicate with

if all Travellers are born from the scan of the Creator, and the Sentinels do not see Telamon as anything related to that Creator, then...

[uncut harness]

Laylaps sees you as the creator

As a replica of the creator at least

[jovial violet]

all these simulation subroutines see us as the Creator, as they are aware of where each Traveller comes from

[uncut harness]

So the atlas is simulating its creator

[jovial violet]

it is indeed, and that simulation was initially -null-, and then each Traveller after them

[uncut harness]

So if we are also Telamon/replicas of Telamon, like how all travellers are different iterations, it would make sense that the creator and Telamon are the same

[jovial violet]

i think Telamon merely became replicated across universes after whatever betrayal occurred between itself and Atlas. i believe it's the Remembrance terminals that show that, initially, the Travellers didn't exist, and only did so at the start of this whole 16 thing, whereas Telamon seems to have been eternally present in the simulation, as far as we can say

i think it'd be pretty strange for things to consistently wish to commune directly with the exosuit/Telamon, if we ourselves are supposedly also differing iterations of Telamon

[uncut harness]

ANALYSIS: [-------] claimed I am merely a sub-protocol, designate ‘Telamon’. [-------] claimed I am here only for [-------] to observe and monitor itself in case of rampancy.

[-------] means Atlas

[jovial violet]

yeah, i think that's where i'm getting the idea that Telamon is part of the simulating software, personally! it's interesting that we read the same lines and come to vastly different conclusions

"ANALYSIS: Physicality changes you. I was created three weeks after the first death. I do not know why I think of it now."

[uncut harness]

Telamon is not attached to the exosuit until the 9th encounter

[jovial violet]

i assume "three weeks after the first death" is referring to the original Atlas hardware. the Remembrance terminals also state something along the lines of the Atlas constantly being reset by the original Creators

[jovial violet]

Travellers didn't exist in the simulations for a long long time

they're a recent addition, relatively

[uncut harness]

I have awoken, peering through the eyes of another whose face I cannot see. My movements, my words are not my own. I am embodied.

I am here. I stand next to a broken ship on a strange new world, and I can finally say its name. ‘Atlas’, I croak. ‘Connecting Atlas...’

[jovial violet]

the Atlas supposedly existed, alone, for millennia. it's only when it began to die that it created the Travellers. Telamon, if my interpretation is correct, has existed for millennia also, by extension

[uncut harness]

I think Telamon is a protocol who the atlas created and forced into the body of another being so the Atlas can observe the creator

But obviously this does not work, Telamon and the traveller are not one

[jovial violet]

yeah, i agree that the Atlas likely stuck Telamon in the exosuits for a reason. i think it was a simple modification of Telamon's original role: no longer an omnipresent observer of all iterations, Telamon now exists separately in each iteration, split into infinity

it's why i really love Telamon's lore. it's quite cleverly written, i think, to have this observer still technically observing infinity, just from a new, lesser perspective

[uncut harness]

Telamon was there to observe the atlas in case of faults, hence why now all they do is warn you about hazard protection and life support

[jovial violet]

yeah, it's real cool, imo! it's still serving it's purpose to the simulation. technically, it's still serving it's original Creator, if it views the Travellers as a pure version of that Creator

[uncut harness]

I think that in disconnecting Telamon from itself, the atlas also disconnected the sentinels sub routine

essentially tearing itself apart

[jovial violet]

the Boundary Failures show that Atlas disconnected the Sentinels before changing Telamon's role, iirc

but yeah it's main point to Telamon was that the simulation was breaking, so it wasn't going to function right anymore

"SCENARIO: Universes [1304] removed from multiversal hierarchy [erased]. Sentinel spread [unlimited], safety protocols disengaged." in log 2

[uncut harness]

I seem to remember something mentioned about travellers before telamon was put into exosuits but I cant find it

[jovial violet]

if you ever find it, do lmk! i'd love to see something to that effect

[uncut harness]

Found it

• 6TH Encounter

SCENARIO: Proliferation of Gek-Korvax-Vy’keen [triad] across majority of known realities. Recurrence of ‘Traveller’ prophecy throughout lifeform cultures.

also hirk and nal came before telamons disconnection, and they spoke of the travellers

[jovial violet]

yeah, seems to be to do with the Atlas' desire to create a fictional mythos, before the Travellers even appeared. i think there are some other interactions which go into detail about how the Travellers were supposed to bring a kind of promised golden age to the universe, which obviously never happened

whether that never coming to pass was intentional or not on the part of the Atlas, i don't know. maybe. they seem to like certain events always occurring in every iteration, usually for the worst

[cinder nymph]

This game’s lore is so complex. I just see, ship go boom, sentinel go boom, I buy ship, I build base. Lol

[gray cape]

be me
progressed the main storyline
came almost to the end
"the universe is just a simulation run by Atlas"
refuse to believe their bullshit

[small pier]

Are there any plans to actually continue the NMS story or will it always end with the computer/AI being killed by Earth being destroyed?

[fervent cobalt]

Does resetting the sumulation at the end of The Purge actually do anything useful aside from the free trip to a new Galaxy?

[naive plank]

Was you able to figure anything out?

[rancid ether]

...and another one

[stoic mural]

I don't know, the place beneath terrain can't really be described as glass

[stoic mural]

Earth doesn't exist in the Atlas, but I doubt it

Also, got bored and started flicking through the wiki entry. A lot of horror-like themes going on :p

also arguably notable that all the higher entities, whether it be Telamon, the Atlas, or the Aeron, are all arguably malevolent

Which I guess fits in them basically being elder gods of some capacity, but still

[stoic mural]

In NMS/Atlas time, we're 10 minutes to midnight on the doomsday clock

[rancid ether]

Have you fallen under the terrain before? You can see everything on the surface from underneath

[stoic mural]

I have, but it's more of a void than GLASS

[stoic mural]

oh, interesting. The times I've fallen under, it's just a boundless void

[rancid ether]

Its possible to build a base that goes under the terrain and simply use a short range teleporter to see what its like underneath

Or if you edit the terrain, then place a base with teleporter where the terrain was, eventually the terrain regens and you'll arrive under the terrain when you teleport to the base

[night reef]

i hate it

[mental socket]

Base log lore added around 2018

WoG seems to be just an alternate reality and the references of it being "under our world" are just metaphors.

[grim peak]

wait, my sentry drone named itself laylaps...

[mental socket]

I believe it might be the very same Laylaps. It did make some remarks towards our exosuit, as if it had met them before and found it funny how "We don't know yet"

Gave some chills when it first named itself like that. Finally seeing something from the "old" lore being brought to a physical form for us to interact with. Especially when that thing had been to World of Glass before

I really wonder if they'll move that story forward a bit and give us more adventures with Laylaps. They could possibly be great help unlocking a gateway to WoG?

Though I don't really see any reason for us to even try and go there except for saving the real Ariadne maybe. Unless they ended up in the Void, if that even is a place like WoG?

[stoic mural]

Although not technically story-related, since the Korvax frigate captains tend to mention their ship being in great pain when damaged, are Korvax also their ships?

[rancid ether]

Have you done the Starbirth quest yet?

[stoic mural]

Yes. Have one of them

Still my favourite ship, even if it's not as strong as it used to be, and you can do much better with a techship :p

Hyperdrive is unparalleled though. That near-1k LY jump range is excellent for long-range trips

[rancid ether]

Imo, based on the lore of that quest, its reasonable to assume that Korvax are capable of communicating with their ships in a way that the other races cannot.

[stoic mural]

If I'm honest, I only remember small parts of that quest 😅

Wasn't the lore of that more or less that you were communicating with the egg, and various starforms?

[rancid ether]

The lore was (iirc) that a group of Korvax scientists were experimenting with the transfer of consciousness to a biological entity

But they did so through biomechanical tech and from our encounters with living ships, we know they are capable of transferring information to us empathically/telepathically or via the egg's singing melody

So...a Korvax having an empathic connection to their ship is not a stretch imo

[stoic mural]

Considering the nature of the korvax, they could also just be their ships

Since they're basically Mass Effect's Geth

Except not just simplistic programs

[rancid ether]

Iirc, that is the implication behind the living ships, they are just the transferred consciousness of some korvax

Or were at some point...i guess we dont know how void eggs are created (well, other than quicksilver lol)

@prime inlet might know this lore better than I. Its been a few months since I last did the Starbirth quest.

[fervent cobalt]

If I reset the simulation from somewhere other than Euclid, where do I end up?

[rancid ether]

The next relevant galaxy type in order

So if you were in Eissentam and chose green, you go to the next Lush galaxy...Isdoraijung

[grim peak]

that's a name and a half

[fervent cobalt]

Is the free core jump the only benefit of resetting the simulation?

[rancid ether]

That and a title iirc

[muted moth]

being able to skip some galaxies in between that you're not interested in

[fervent cobalt]

So, I started The Purge in Euclid, then used a featured base to get to Eisentaam, then I core jumped into Elkupalos. I portaled to all-0, and my next jump said the purge is at 1/16

The purge will never complete if you do less than 16 jumps per galaxy

I broke the simulation

[fervent cobalt]

It is anoying that every time I reach an edge system Apollo and Null call me to tell me not to

[fervent cobalt]

Is there a reason (title?) to loop the universe?

[uncut harness]

How do I reset the atlas if i refused the first time

[pallid stump]

Am I going crazy or did this just confirm Nal's survival?

[uncut harness]

If I decide after I made it to my second galaxy, that I want to go back to the creation obelisk type thing and head into one of the other types. How should I go about doing that?

[muted moth]

you can't. you'll have to go to one of those other galaxies by different means. if they are lower numbered then the fastest method is to hitch a ride with someone else who has a base there, put a base down yourself and save, then go back on your own via teleporter once you leave the group.

[safe kiln]

keep in mind, this is an event that happens in each universe separately. in some cases, it would seem Nal survives

note the mention of at least five scenarios resulting from the event in question, seen in the second image you posted

silence (uncertain what this means exactly), acceptance of the Atlas, a Schism (not sure who or what [Quasi-====] is), and the eradication or enslavement of the Korvax

[thorny rover]

You can't anymore

[stoic mural]

That might be Korvax Prime, or the sentinels/world of glass, where they're trying to create a different version of the Atlas to escape the Atlas and kill those responsible for putting everything in its current state

[stoic mural]

Could they not go to an atlas station themselves and try again?

[uncut harness]

What happens if i did reset the atlas

[full vapor]

So no mans sky is basically space North Korea, and we’re revolutionaries.

I love it

[heady wyvern]

The event at the end of the Artemis quest line, where the Atlas asks you to reset it, is only offered once.

[heady wyvern]

You would get your choice of four different galaxies to travel to.

[stoic mural]

Ah, I thought that they meant reset the starting quest for the Atlas Path. nvm

[uncut harness]

Lol

That's pretty lame.

[fervent cobalt]

Why does the atlas say I can come back and do it later if I refuse to reset the simulation?

The Final Interface determines where you end up in the new galaxy btw.

[eternal radish]

I have never chosen not to reset the simulation.

[gray cape]

same

I rejected Atlas' messages and I don't care about the reset

[muted moth]

I've reset sometimes and not others, in different saves

but I've never chosen to let Artemis die. not once

keep saying I'll do it this time. can't bring myself to

[uncut harness]

Its a very different kind of sad.

[eternal radish]

Same lol

I just….can’t let them die.

[icy citrus]

They are dead already

[muted moth]

well except that time and "already" are a bit odd in the game

[icy citrus]

You hear their echo, and then steal a part of their mind pattern

Monsters

[muted moth]

death is another thing that's a bit odd in the game...

[icy citrus]

Then double down and imprison it

[muted moth]

so I have this thing about prisons and cages. except for sentinels, I don't like 'em

[icy citrus]

Then why relegate them to one?

Sad times

[eternal radish]

I thought this could be a temporary solution and there may be hope in the future

[muted moth]

exist in a closed off world or don't exist at all, how can I make that second choice? no right

[icy citrus]

Just find another iteration of them

They are out there

[muted moth]

I mean technically we are that other iteration

not very satisfying though

[icy citrus]

You imprison you!

[muted moth]

why couldn't that have happened to -null- instead? 😛

[eternal radish]

^^^

[muted moth]

yeah that whole "you are not alone". yeah kinda sorta but in fact everyone else around is just you again

kinda reminds me of Red Dwarf, the only real folks are the ones in the ship

(and not all of them either :-D)

[eternal radish]

I think that message came from -Null-

They say this at the end in the last call where they try to convince you not to reset the Atlas.

[eternal radish]

Oh btw I read a very great fan fiction about that. Can I share the link to that here? since it contains storyline spoilers? Or share somewhere else?

[icy citrus]

Sure

[eternal radish]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26955940

[muted moth]

it's said to you very early on in the atermis path also though isn't it?

[eternal radish]

Yes. It came from the distress beacon from Artemis’ ship, although it didn’t appear to be sent out by Artemis. Really weird.

[icy citrus]

Thought that was Polo

[eternal radish]

Huh?

[icy citrus]

That is from a freighter, not Artemis's ship

[eternal radish]

But there was also a distress beacon at Artemis’ ship at the very start

[icy citrus]

Yes

But not with those words

[eternal radish]

That’s what I’m talking about lol

[eternal radish]

The whole quest starts with “kzzt you are not alone kzzt blah blah blah kzzzt why did you abandon me?” Or something like that and then you get coordinates to a crashed ship with a distress beacon where you find the name of the pilot (Artemis). But it didn’t seem like that message was written by Artemis.

[icy citrus]

The outpost's logs gives the location of the crashed freighter where Polo presumably first met Nada. The freighter's logs are written in first person by a version of Polo from another dimension, one where all life was annihilated by the then-peaceful Sentinels, for an unknown reason, in a violent attack that lasted less than an hour. Nada saved Polo in their freighter and they both travelled to the centre of their galaxy while being chased by the Sentinels. At the end of the log, this Polo is attacked by the Sentinels and dies, but not before telling Nada that they shall meet again in another universe.

[eternal radish]

I was talking about another ones. At the very start.

Not the freighter one.

[muted moth]

you take off in the ship and...

exactly.

everything gets weird right away.

[jovial spire]

so i just refused to reset the simulation

is that the end of the story...?

i can't really tell

[icy citrus]

That's it

[uncut harness]

There is Dreams Of The Deep if you want some more story. Focuses on underwater exploration and you get a submarine.

[grizzled holly]

when I finish the leviathan expedition and get the big space fish frigate, does my character become normal (not permadeath)?

[uncut harness]

@muted moth what were you saying about how I can go travel to other galaxies after I already got to my first Galactic core?

That day when I was talking here, I had to head out and do some stufff

[potent bloom]

It turns into a regular survival save once the expedition is over. But in the short term, the permadeath part goes away.

You're still stuck with the awful costs until it converts.

[grizzled holly]

Ah so to clarify, if i die ill ressurect, and its survival untik leviathan ends?

[muted moth]

ypu can "hitch a ride" with another player who is in the galaxy you want, by joining their session (then put a base down there before you leave the group) or go to the Anomaly and look for featured or player bases in the galaxy you want, those are two easy ways

[potent bloom]

It's survival, period. It will not convert to normal

It will convert to survival with regular survival costs

When you've completed the expedition objectives, the permadeath part goes away, but that's it.

[grizzled holly]

Ah okay, thanks that was my main concern lol

[celest mulch]

Hello all, when convenient i have a question regarding the center of the galaxy

[uncut harness]

Oh okay, is there no way to do it alone? I've done the anomaly thing a few times and found some new ones

Curious though to go and do it again organically on my own for the fun

[muted moth]

by yourself, without using other bases, you need to hop through each core (put a base down as you go through) until you get where you want

[uncut harness]

Do I have to follow the repeating bits of questline or just straight up head for the core?

[muted moth]

oh just go to the core

the fast way to do that or one fast way is to spam the first glyph 12 times at any portal, gets you very close

prep for it, switch ships and mt, move tech around in your suit, the usual

[uncut harness]

I appreciate the info and help by the way, just looking to explore a bit on my normal save to help friends out

Mainly been on my PD save now that I started earlier in the week, loving how brutal it is. Had to do a damn "alt+F4" at one point though because the damn space station sucked me through the floor.

[uncut harness]

Yes, I was so lucky with my first core

Because I was on a junk ship going through black holes and happened to have been working on a new tool I just obtained. So I only had to work on my body modules

I'll go to the core and see what I can do, I have adresses saved saved for centers. Also for some reason after I went through the core on my first playthrough, I spawned in only 3k from the other galaxies core oddly enough

@muted moth Also, do repair kits work on all modules of any type?

Haven't had a chance to test it

Thank you for all the help either way ♥️

[muted moth]

yes they do afaik, remember it's one component of a damaged item, for a repair kit

so, three components needed? 3 repair kits

[heady wyvern]

@celest mulch There's usually always somebody convenient. Ask away.

[celest mulch]

@heady wyvern as a first time player making it to the center for the first time, having not finished all that i have begun, is there any benefit to me actually COMPLETING the quest and travelling again?

[heady wyvern]

Completing the main quest will still grant the blueprint for Remembrance. Past that, it's actually not required for you to travel to a new galaxy after the quest concludes

[celest mulch]

@heady wyvern would a new galaxy actually have any different flora/fauna or is it basically the same RNG with a new "classification"? Additionally, say i did want to just be somewhere other than Euclid, if i did proceed with the requested action, i would basically be starting all over again- in the vein of New Game+?

[heady wyvern]

When you arrive at the new galaxy, your technology will be damaged as though you had jumped into the Core. Otherwise, you lose nothing (you can even return to previous galaxies, as long as you have a base there). Certain galaxies have a different biome distribution than Euclid's, but that's about it for tangible differences.

I should mention that any technology in the technology tabs of your suit and active ship will be saved. Ships and multi-tools that were not your active ship/tool at the time of the jump will not be damaged - traditionally, players buy "burner" tools and ships in order to protect valuable tools and ships from damage.

Your freighter, fleet, and exocraft are not damaged.

[coarse fable]

Atlas is asking me to die now.. no idea what to do.. should i die?

[tame grotto]

your choice. try it

[muted moth]

these sorts of choices are all about

well

your experience and angst and what your guts say

[coarse fable]

i saved my self :3

[lapis hazel]

just realized their are 255 full ass galixies

fuck me

how do they expect any one to find any one

iv yet to catch any one in the wild

but i did see some planets that were discuvered

by others

also reseting fucking wrecked my shit

its a good thing i had other ships for back up

almost died on the new planet

i guess this is just a rant

was able to fix most of it pretty quickly

hording recourses pays off

[muted moth]

if you plan on doing a bunch of core hopping it's good to have a crap multitool and ship you can switch to just before each hop (or a ship with little to no tech in the general inv)

[lapis hazel]

went in blind with my best ship

well the best for hyperdrive

[muted moth]

for core hopping you don't need much hyperdrive, the game doesn't care if you have > 3k ly or not

it will just put you through

you may need the indium drive for some galaxies though.

[lapis hazel]

ye the 1st time was part of the main story

[muted moth]

oh right

where did you choose to go?

[lapis hazel]

i went paralel

hubert

sumthin like that

Hilbert Dimension

then i was like were dafuck am i

went looking it up and saw other galixy names

saw one was 255th

honestly mighta gone to the green one if i knew

but it dosent seem like a big diferance

[muted moth]

Hilbert is another normal galazy like Euclid

if you want to get a ride to Eissentam, plenty of players have bases there

you could check whenever you're at the Anomaly, for a featured or player base there

I mean in the teleporter list

[lapis hazel]

huh

yeah

just steal were they found a good place to place their bace

[muted moth]

well more just about getting a foothold in that galaxy

[lapis hazel]

though im having a bit of truble figuring out more things to do

[muted moth]

then go explore and find someplace you like

[lapis hazel]

the 4th wall is super broken

[muted moth]

whaddya mean, sorry?

[lapis hazel]

like they put me threw a exotestal crisis its all a simulation

4th wall breaking

alot of the rewards for the main quest did not do mutch

[muted moth]

well the main storyline is meant to teach you the basic game mechanics and give you a lot of free blueprints

[lapis hazel]

youd think a star seed might do more than +1 core health

[muted moth]

it's basically a really overgrown tutorial

now that you completed it, you get to choose your own adventure

space pirate, cooking all the recipes, collecting all the 11 collctible glitches from the exotic biome types, building amazing bases, doing the "Grand Tour" (one base in each galaxy), collor coordinated and fully upgraded fleet of ships of your choosing, find worlds with the specific biome and colors and fauna you want, hunt for S multotools and post about them on the NMS coord exch subreddit, max out your S freighter to max slots and upgrades...

really a zillion things to do in here

some people just collect and catalogue pictures of weird fauna, the weirder the better

others look for ways to make sentinel battles and nanite farming more efficient

others are minmaxers looking for ways to get their suits and mts to the absolute top stats, etc

[lapis hazel]

i have been enjoying the bace building but they only let you have 1

like the city builder

something about telaporting from one galixy back to it seems broken

[muted moth]

eh?

you can have up to 400 bases

any one base can have a max of 3k parts if you want to make it uploaded so other players can see it when you are offline

there is a max 16k parts total per save file limit

that's all though.

[lapis hazel]

bases are diferant from being the overseer of only one city

[muted moth]

oh, you mean settlements

only one of those, right. they are pretty limited in the sorts of interactions available though

[lapis hazel]

for what it is its still fun

any ways ty fer helping

been customizing my freiter

the inside

i gtg bye

[muted moth]

see ya!

[quiet arch]

I just made it to Eissentam.
I'm excited and scared at the same time

[dreamy forge]

It's a beautiful galaxy filled with lush planets

Usually where i hang out for taking screenshots

[quiet arch]

I'm like.
Shaking.
And I hate the passing of real life time because I want to keep going
The planet I landed on is beautiful

And It's 3:21 a.m.

[muted moth]

woops

[dreamy forge]

haha how much do you value your sleep

[muted moth]

the game will still be here tomorrow!

[quiet arch]

Enough to withstand a 6 year old sister lmfao

[dreamy forge]

i know what you mean, also have a little sister i grew up with 😄

[quiet arch]

I'm sad, my ship I ruled the galaxy with was too damaged to summon.

[dreamy forge]

Yeah that's the unfortunate outcome of jumping through galaxies

You can portal to them without taking damage

[quiet arch]

Oddly enough my freighters and other ships are fine

So for now I'll have to give up my big boy ship for my cute one I got cause it was shaped and colored like a bee

[glossy loom]

Ngl the hilberg galaxy has lots of weird planets

[quiet arch]

All my amimal friends... my pets.. my huge ones

They're down to my size now

And I'm a tiny gek

[junior pine]

Artemis is the player’s past self, they share the same iteration number as the one mentioned as deleted in the distress beacon logs in Awakenings

[fervent cobalt]

If I do The Atlas Path, can I still do The Purge?

[tame grotto]

yes. you can do them in parallel actually.

sorta kill two birds at the same time. since the purge makes you warp for each glyph and you're also warping to different atlas stations so the work well together

[fervent cobalt]

I don't like that one, because I've had the Atlas Path get broken when I core-jumped in the middle

[eternal radish]

I always do first Artemis then Atlas. Better be safe than sorry 😅

[fringe frost]

can you complete the new beginnings mission or is it permanent on the mission log

[muted moth]

it's there forever

[fringe frost]

same with the space anomaly?

[muted moth]

eventually there will be 6 missions, 3 primary and 3 secondary, that never go away. Atlas Path goes away for a bit but always returns, that's one of the 3 primary

[fringe frost]

what is the 3rd primary?

im guessing the 3 secondary are the base computer, exploration guide and the settlers?

[muted moth]

that's all of them

space anomaly, new beginnings, atlas path

[fringe frost]

my atlas path just went away after going through a blackhole

anyways, thanks for the help there

[muted moth]

it will be back, like a bad penny it keeps turning up

[steady sequoia]

resetting the simulation sends you to another galaxy, does going to the center of the galaxy do the same thing or does it reset your save?

[icy citrus]

The core will take you to the next galaxy, in numerical order

Nothing resets your save, besides death in permadeath

[steady sequoia]

ah so resetting the sim let's you choose a galaxy type, which you get a random one in that group, center of the galaxy always just puts you forward one

[candid lark]

No, resetting the sim lets you choose a galaxy type, and it will be the next galaxy in numerical order of that type - So Lush (green) takes you to Eissentam (galaxy 10), Empty (Blue?) takes you to Budullangr (galaxy 7) and Harsh (Red) takes you to Galaxy 3

However, IF you complete the quest in Eissentam, then they will be the galaxies of the relevant type in numerical order after eissentam - so 19 (Isdoraijung), 12 (aptakarba), 15 (ogtialabi) or normal (white) will take you to galaxy 11 (Elkupalos)

[uncut harness]

Ah damn

I picked the wrong galaxy

@candid lark what does the green one do?

What is a lush galaxy?

[thorny rover]

A galaxy with a higher number if lush planets

Basically earth-like planets

[uncut harness]

Okie

Does resetting reset everything you've ever gotten?

[candid lark]

No, resetting is a lore term and does not affect your gameplay

[uncut harness]

Yay

So my base will still be there?

[candid lark]

For lore purposes, by switching to a new galaxy you "reset" the simulation

The entire game lore wise is basically the matrix

Everyone is inside a massive computer simulation

The atlas being the mainframe computer running the simulation

[uncut harness]

So my base still exists?

[candid lark]

yes

[uncut harness]

Okie

[candid lark]

BE AWARE When you jump galaxies, everything in your general inventories will be broken across your exosuit, ship and multitool.

[uncut harness]

Oh dear

[candid lark]

Stuff in the technology tab will NOT be affected

[uncut harness]

I'm gonna have so much stuff to repair

What happens if I refuse to reset?

[candid lark]

You stay in Euclid

and nothing gets broken

[uncut harness]

Should I break everything and go to a really cool planet or will I stay in euclid?

[muted moth]

why not switch to a crap multitool and a ship with almost no tech in the general section?

then stock up on a pile of repair kits for the suit

[uncut harness]

Oh yes!!!

Can I go back to the atlas later?

[candid lark]

yes

[uncut harness]

Okie

[muted moth]

so don't refuse or accept, just don't do that bit yet

[uncut harness]

So you need a repair kit for each exosuit upgrade in my general section?

[uncut harness]

Yeah I just left

Before the first cry

[muted moth]

you need one repair kit for each component

so each material needed to repair.

[uncut harness]

Oh der

Dear

Anyone have 22 repair kits?

[muted moth]

outlaw systems sell them, got any of those in your teleporter lists?

[uncut harness]

I have a few

Also how do I leave?

[muted moth]

how do you leave... what?

[uncut harness]

The atlas

How do I leave

[muted moth]

just get in your ship

I mean, you stopped interacting right?

[uncut harness]

It's not here

[muted moth]

wait wut

where are you exactly

[uncut harness]

In the centre room with the atlas console

[muted moth]

save and reload?

[uncut harness]

K

[muted moth]

ooohhhh.... this is not the atlas path, it's the other one. right. so. hmm

iirc you are plopped in there by the atlas directly, so maybe no ship to be had. ugh

any chance you can summon one?

[uncut harness]

Ushuang Station Major

Just putting this here so I don't forget it

[uncut harness]

@muted moth so let me get this straight
Green has a lot of lush planets?

And does the new galaxy have any sentinels?

[thorny rover]

yep

[thorny rover]

all galaxies have them

[uncut harness]

Okie

[uncut harness]

So is this the end of the story?

[thorny rover]

story? yes Game? no

[uncut harness]

Okie

[muted moth]

there is plenty of other lore aaround

[faint falcon]

how did the sentinels eliminate all life in under a minute if you can just hide in a hole to be immune to them.

[half canyon]

Lmfao

Not enough holes

[indigo notch]

I thoight the sentinels update had made them smarter

[jovial violet]

sentinels in the lore: nightmare robot swarms from the abyss
sentinels in the game:

[summer talon]

I had a very persistent walker last night who I couldn't kill or get away from. I'd destroyed the armour on it and then my shots started going through it and it just kept following me. Digging a hole made it stomp around above me and the timer never went down. I couldn't go to any buildings or space stations because it was an uncharted red star system :/

[grim peak]

Not even the anomaly?

[summer talon]

I ended up having to run back to my ship, takeoff, and get far enough away from the planet to summon the anomaly

I've noticed that sentinels don't bother you nearly as much when you're in the minotaur, even in battle. They don't even shoot at you half the time.

[stoic mural]

That's surprisingly smart of them

Or they're confused by the minotaur

If it looks like a sentinel, and sounds like a sentinel, it must be a sentinel

[autumn wasp]

My Minotaur has killed so many of their kind they probably don’t wanna even try taking it on

(Until I’m the one that does something bad then oh no now they care)

[fervent cobalt]

What is the difference between an Anomaly and a Traveller when it comes to "races" ?

[grim peak]

afaik an anomaly is just a type of traveller

gek, korvax, and vy'keen can be travellers

[stoic mural]

Anomaly are the alien travellers, whereas the travellers are all presumably-humans with spacesuits on

[candid lark]

other way around

the space suits are the anomaly race

[stoic mural]

ah

[candid lark]

and the travellers all have alien heads

[muted moth]

we presume that undet the anomaly helmet is an alien head too, just one we don't know 😛

[fervent cobalt]

For The Purge, which galaxy type will have the most exotic planets that are trying to kill me

[autumn wasp]

Red iirc has more sentinels

[fervent cobalt]

I prefer weather

[thorny rover]

Red galaxy also has more extreme weather

[eternal radish]

It's Rick Astley 😛

[uncut harness]

What's quests are mandatory to go to the next galaxy on a new save?

[candid lark]

You can get to a new galaxy without finishing the main quest by jumping to someone elses base in another galaxy, or you could jump through the centre of euclid to get to Hilbert, or you can finish the main quest line (artemis) and "the Purge" will give you all 16 glyphs and let you choose a new galaxy type

[uncut harness]

I know of jumping to others with people using invites or the Anomaly, just was curious.

So the Artemis is the main mandatory thing? I have all 16 glyphs in this newer save by remembering where I went for my other save. Do I have to finish the Atlas like to be able to move onward?

[muted moth]

no

you can ignore them all at this point, seeing as you've done them before on another save

[uncut harness]

Really?!?

It will still let me go to the center right away and make the jump?

[muted moth]

I don't mean that goals carry over

I just mean

you got to the Anomaly already

you have the glyphs

[uncut harness]

I'm on a survival now opposed to my original normal save

I did both of those, yes

[muted moth]

and you already have the lore from preevious saves so there's not necessarily a reason to do these quests

so yeah go to the core if you want

[uncut harness]

When I get to the closest system to the core, what do I do?

[muted moth]

well

[uncut harness]

Just highlight the center and click it?

[muted moth]

you warp through the center

oh no no no

[uncut harness]

I'll try

[muted moth]

it's this complicated and rather silly ui

[uncut harness]

Okay

[muted moth]

!faq-corewarp

[uncut harness]

Ohhh see I've heard about this

[muted moth]

hmmm

[uncut harness]

All about the fucking angling or something

[muted moth]

lemme do that in the #bot-spam channel

go have a look there and read it kinda careful

then when you get to that point, read it again

it's a bit fiddly.

[uncut harness]

I'm not seeming to be able to get to the core

I'm going to keep trying to fk with it

I'm right next to it though

[muted moth]

are you in a gateway system?

[uncut harness]

How can I determine that?

[muted moth]

well

when you go to the galaxy map and you have galactic core selected and your system selected

there's just yor system in the center of the image and one line from it that goes off the edge of the screen

no other systems or nothing

is that what you see?

[uncut harness]

A line connected my system and the core? Is that what you meant?

[muted moth]

no

I mean a line from your system goign off the edge of the screen

you don't see the other end

[muted moth]

ok great

now "select targeted system" like it says

and make sure you are NOT in free look or free explore or any of that

then let's see the screenshot again

[uncut harness]

Okay

[muted moth]

awesome

now just one thing I forgot to ask, you did top off the hyperdrive so it's at 100% right?

[uncut harness]

I can, I was going to go through with a shit ship. I got my other one at 3400 or something, one sec

[muted moth]

no no

I mean fuel

[uncut harness]

Ohhhh

Oh sec

[muted moth]

it's fully charged, not 95% or something. right?

[uncut harness]

Loaded up now

[muted moth]

ok

get back to how you were with the system selected and the one line from it going off the edge again

(sorry I shoulda asked at the start)

and not free look and not free explore

[uncut harness]

Back at it

[muted moth]

ok
