i could give you the egg
I'd appreciate it
I can give you something worth good credits in return
it's all I have tbh
nah its okay ill just give you the egg
but id suggest modifying it to get it bigger
or just stick with good'ol smol blob
Is nursery chat for eggs or like noobies haha
To discuss companions.
You can earn those eggs soon through expedition 3 and 4
I think the biological horror is 3 anyway
I believe in the sandworm>beetle
he'll give you such a pinch
problem with this pet: it often wanders off extreme distances lol
does it come when you whistle? I've had pets wander pretty far but they always come back when called
havent tried, I assume it'll take as long to come back to me as it did to get out there and it's probably faster to just resummon it lol
Any chance I could nab an egg? That looks sick
thats our babeyyy 
yessir π€ π€
elucid system 
not yet its still too young
Possibly the best creature o have ever seen and itβs not one I found smh
@dusty fern Not quite the same but the same type
It for sure looks like a gek yeah
I more meant when it can lay eggs
Nice!
what can i use to shrink this egg I have
there's a chart in pins that shows what stuff does
looks like a protogek
That's a scary monster you got there, Thunder!
yeah hes a hell of a chonker
heyyy so i checked the galactic hub subreddit for the first time in a while today and i saw that some madlads managed to get the dang birds as companions, anyone know how to do that (without geing given an egg)?
they're using a mod I think
although i'm curious about getting an egg from them, if it's a mod and we get eggs in non mod mode...
Proto-Gek
Feral Gek
Would be great if sentient Gek could have feathers too π
You want an egg from this one?
Are anatomy changes always random?
Or is there materials that adds or remove certain traits for certain?
hmmmm the anatomy modifications doesn't seem to work on robot creatures o:
Ah and changing the colors of the crystal pets doesn't seem to work either, I tried with three different materials
Why is playing gods with some eggs so fun??
I'm having some trouble understanding why some modifications happens tho-
uhhhh why
I'm using different materials on an egg and it keeps giving me the same anatomic change (aka, spikes on the head)
It should do other things instead, right? Or is it because I can't change the result the egg will give me, even with different materials?
Anyone has any information on this?
Okay it's starting to drive me a bit insane tbh
I'm gonna try with three other eggs, to see if it's truly random or if one trait is stuck to the egg no matter what
Maybe I did something wrong, idk
OKAY
So no matter what I do, the same trait appears everytime, no matter if it's another egg, or another material
I think this trait WILL appear no matter what I do, so it's not totally random
NOTE: I saved scum everytime to try and test this
I think the trait might be determined by the parent, so maybe if I wait for this new baby to be able to lay eggs, it'll give another trait? It's a very long grind tho, and the time skip glitch doesn't change their age it seems, only the egg gestation and hatching timers
So I'm not sure if I wanna invest that much energy in something like that c':
I might just change their size and colors, since those can be modified pretty easily
Also I saved two eggs of this robot species I found, in case someone wants one ahah
Tho the size might be smaller, this baby here got modified a bit
Damn sorry for the monologue in this channel-
It's very much fun to mess with genetics. Especially when you manage to pull off a magnum opus. π
Oh that's a cool raptor you have there!
Did you have the same troubles as me tho? o:
Similar. I thought that any random elements would cause different results, and it seemed correct. But for mine I tried classifications of materials, and that is what made the difference for me. In other words, you can try it how it worked for me... instead of just trying 'copper/cadmium', which gives generally similar results in body parts, try varying silicates/oxides/metals. Basically try to go by their icon color, a yellow thing like Sulfur, then a red thing like Carbon, and then a blue thing like Cobalt...
It took 38 total 'generations' to get that rex. The feathered tail was the hardest part.
So don't expect to get a perfect result overnight. π
The thing is: I tried that, even with items like storm crystals or quad legs
And it keeps giving me the same trait
(ALso 70% of the time you hope to get a change in some body part, another body part elsewhere changes in a way you don't want) π
By generations do you mean... you waited 38 generations? Like waited for the animals to grow adults?
38 periods of 2 days (24 hours of gestation and 24 hours of waiting for an egg to hatch)
I'm confused
Well, plus the time for each generation to mature. Which is technically anotehr two days. D:
Well, one generation is 'the previous generation lays an egg. Take it to the anomaly, sequence it, wait for the 24 hours to be up, hatch it, and then either (1) You got the change you want, so wait 2 days or so until it's matured enough to make a new egg, or (2) No change happened, so waist 24 hours for a new egg to gestate and try again'
I could not find any sort of patternn. And yeah, many times no change at all would happen. #2 was way more common.
Think it's all entirely RNG, even with the precentages. a 20% change and a 100% change never seemed to be any "more changey"
Did you use any save scum or "time skip" doing that?
No time skips, but I scummed like crazy.
Re-Save a copy of every generation. If the changes went 'totally backwards', I reverted.
But one animal can only produce like.. three eggs, right?
That's never been the case for me, they lay an egg, I feed them back up to max, they start making a new one. Never had that happen before.
whut-
Mine said that they cannot lay eggs anymore
And everytime it's after three eggs
I think there's either a misunderstanding, or I'm missing something big..
I mean there's a possibility that I might never have had any of my 'projects' go three generations without being replaced but I'm sure they have gone further.
Hey at least I managed to get a very tall and very kind spiky deer baby
Awwwww.
Okay maybe it's the generation part I'm not getting
I've never seen one with those ghooooost eyes.
I tried it, but only with the eggs from the same parent
Different eggs, but from the same animal
Maybe that's why?
here's the adult parent btw, I didn't change the anatomy or colors, I like it
They are chunky hehe
Also I got this six legged doggo, but I kinda want to modify the traits for this one
Like.. idk maybe try to get some sort of fur? Or spikes? Or stuff like that?
But when I tried (with the parent) it only give me three spikes on the head and I'm not a fan, and everytime I retried with another material, same trait-
Getting "fur/no fur" changes are the hardest ones to get. edit: At least for me.
Yeah I need to test more things I think
This new part of NMS is so confusing, but also fun!
I still don't fully understand what you did, or the steps tho-
but it's also because I'm in fact: dumb
80% trial and error.
And a lot of time waiting too, I guess
Because everytime you need to wait for the young new one to be able to give you an egg, right?
Which is like.. two actual days? ish?
Either 3 days or 2 days. Some creatures have longer timers. Which is why I've not tried diplos yet, they seem to have at least 5 days maturation time.
I'm guesing it goes by body size but that its literally just a wild guess.
See? No more eggs from the big doggo
which actually means the second egg I got from them is the only one I can get, I'll have to wait for the blue doggo to hatch another, or replace them o:
Heh, THAT message. Thought you meant they couldn't physically breed any more. They can. Old patch notes: 'A total of 5 Companion eggs can be kept at a time. Beyond that point all Companions will state "Cannot carry more eggs" regardless of age.'
OH
You must have other eggs stashed away somewhere.
So the eggs I'm keeping in me freighter storage are messing with that
Wait so it means an animal can lay an infinite amount of eggs?
So I don't have to keep some eggs just in case people want them or something? o:
well, more like you don't get to.
But as long as you stick to less than 6 you could just breed them at the time to get an egg.
Yeah I see
So if someone wants an egg from the robot I shared earlier for example, I don't have to keep one in me storage, I can just get an egg from the robot directly?
A less... what's the word... a less scrupulous option is to use a save editor to save 'backups' of pets. But ehhhhh, not my strategy of choice.
Yeah I don't wanna play with save editors, seems too sketchy
I'm hoping that someday we get an alternate progression that works basically like a settlement, but instead you're taking an airless/dead world in an abandoned system and going through either a questline or a crafting line to terraform it, and transplanting some of your genetically bred species on to it. (also having a way to transplant flora discoveries/samples)
Sort of a Darwinish concept.
Anyways, not to get off topic.
Oh gods I'd love that, I basically hope everyday for an update where you can terraform a dead world into a garden world
It would be amazing
Also here have a very tall robot (and it's just a juvenile for now??)
Also it could be good if they upgraded the companion feature so we can breed two different species
So the child gets a trait from both parents
It would be way easier to get certain traits, like fur or horns
But I guess it would also be very hard to code
I think some sizes are bugged.
My rex is an adult now but still has the 'dimensions' he had as an infant. IE bigger head and feet.
Since most adult rexes have silly small heads.
Oh, so the deer will maybe keep its big head? o:
Don't know, he's the only one that has happened to.
But every other rex for the most part that I'd check for genetic variance would have a small head.
I think the expedition to get one will arrive soon o:
Not 'til the beginning of January iirc.
Oaky, I sit corrected, I do have another... weirdity
π
I'm sure that one was 7 all this time. I thought 3 would be a lot smaller.
Tall boi
Okay, that's a bug I seem to have magically created myself. π
While I revert the saves during breeding, the server must be where the age timers are computed or something (or tied to your playtime). I just noticed that he was 'born' an adult. I think the game is confused. Will start with a fresh specimen later.
Ah so if my deer keeps their big head that's probably how to solve it
Just make them hatch an egg without modifying anything, and wait properly so the timers aren't fucked up c':
I think my rex is stuck with an infant-like body because the timers are borked. π
But if you hatch an egg from them and wait for the baby to grow normally, maybe it'll fix it?
Now to figure out what I want to try to do with Attila the Chonk here.
It probably will. I had him lay an egg, going to just let it develop naturally without messing with it. Will see if that 'resets' it. Though I kinda like him having that big head, makes him look like a proper dinosaur. π
If he ended up looking like this, for example? Deleting him would be an act of mercy.
Oh gods, the poor thing
"Strong like Ox! Smart like tractor!"
The big head is cute yee
Maybe try to give em some big horns! o:
I'm tempted to get a biped mount myself, because it could be very cool tbh
That's how my rex started anyways. He started life as one of those.
But the robot mount I found is perfect for now 
I hope someday there's more critter varieties in the lost droids. π
Saaame
And also I hope we can modify their traits too, same with the other "unusual" fauna tbh
Anyways, here's one with a copper theme if you'd like. Portal addy included. π
Like I tried to play with the crystal fauna, I couldn't change the color or the anatomy (that I can understand but the COLOR??)
Maybe it could be super nice to have like.. a geode looking one, or the crystal is sharper or shinier idk
Ooooh the copper one is cool o:
This is the other one there. I love the weird textures it has. π
It's not metal plating, it almost looks like it's made of bricks.
Right now I'm trying to get the perfect doggo bodyguard ahah
Good helpfulness, high aggression, but also high independence, so it runs around more instead of being in me feet everytime-
Oooh that's a cool one
Luckily altering behavior is one of the easier things to fix. But you can't seem to alter their primary behavior, only the secondary or tertiary. So if they're primatily aloof then they'll always be aloof.
What do you mean "primary"?
Because I was able to modify my deer from playful to helpful
I think one of their three listed traits is primary, one is secondary, one is tertiary, not sure which is which. This is going by the wiki.
Only two ever change when I toss them in the mixer.
Well, one per time.
I used a resource that was dropping the helpfulness trait at first, but after I did that I used the same resource to increase the helpfulness
Because I think the game doesn't do the difference between play and help, it just tells you if it's the first, second or third stat you're modifying
And since play is the opposite of help, well I first needed to lower the play level and then increase the help level
I hope it makes sense aaa
But with that one for example, it never gave me an option to alter independance.
I was able to modify all three stats o:
I kept fliping materials and would get Playful + or -, or Gentle + or -, but nothing ever that would change independance.
Maybe I was just unlucky. π
Ah, that's weird o:
The tame was a joke anyways, that he was "an aardvark wearing a hoodie selling nipnip buds on shady street corners every evening."
Oh wait, I was raising the help stat of my dog.. and it turned into 100% playful
That's weird-
The maximum a 100% in behavior modification should give is 20% per.
Yeah but the stat was helpful at first, and it turned into playful, even tho I used a material that said "help +"
I'm confusion
I mean, I'll take it, a playful doggo with six legs sounds fun ahah
I still wanna try to hatch one with fur tho
Or at least a cool trait
Is there anyone who has a dragon pet or a planet with dragons on it to tame?
Alright the doggo is now 100% helpful, 75% aggro and 100% independent c:
Also another color ahah
He is child shaped right now but it'll be fixed after a few time skip I'm sure
I love him
If anyone wants Howard the Gek as a pet, I kept an egg c':
@hallow kestrel if you wanna start with a marvelous base c':
I already have a proto gek egg from my proto gek
Ahah okay
@strange path this is one awesome creature, do you know the location of it??
I've had most of mine for literal ages, sadly, with the exception of the aardroids (as we have named them in Cafe42) they have portal addresses, but everything else back then... was from before I was keeping track. Also that one has been genetically modified like 40 times to get like that, he was a real uggo when I first got him. π
Is there a way to lengthen a creature cause I got an ugly stegosaurus with a stumpy tail
I also have a standing stegosaurus. He looks silly
he rusty
got an egg for you
central US
Ah okay that might work then
I'm in UK but I think there's a window
Would you be able to send it my way tomorrow?
oh is it like the middle of the night for you? lol
oof
its 8:43 pm here
Would that work for you?
ill try
@left vigil I am available any time from now
ok we can do it now, I've been up all night getting the expedition done lol
we can't just meet on the anomaly?
what do I do with this?
You go to the main menu and go into multiplayer
There's a button that says enter friend code, press that and enter it
Then go back to multiplayer and I should be in your game list
Now go in the anomaly and leave the anomaly
I think it put me in your system
now I gotta figure out how to trade lol
Press the quick move button on the egg
Ah right
I think it has to be in invento
Ry
Also the egg I gave you should be hatchable
gummy dancing
if someone can get me a worm planet ill get you an egg from the diplo
hey im wanting to start a sort of habitat preserver for rare animals dm me if youd like to know more
I recently lost all my pets
Had to get a friend to give me an egg for the worm and the motrosity to get them back. Smh
Just so you know, there's a third party tool you can use to back up your pets and other things and share with others. Something to consider for the future. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879
I used it to back up this little guy, among other things.
I think you can use it on the game pass version if you're on PC, but don't quote me on that.
Does that worth for xbox?
Oof. Monthly fees are a no for me. Thanks though
I wonder if the PC version supports cross save with Xbox...
Only way apparently is to use Game Pass on both.
Wait, you can loose your pets? o:
where tf do you just find robots
planets that look like they're built?
Check unusual biomes, like pillared planets c:
We don't have fully robotic planets (yet) in NMS, but yeah, some planets have unusual biomes with robots on them
They're in uncharted systems specifically I think, always 2 species of them on a planet when they do show up and 0 other fauna
Does anyone have any cool robot locations?
I just started building a base on a planet with some robots on if u want my code bro
i need to get rid of this good boy's egg, who wants it?
He wants it
I do!!!!
So cute
I have one
On console
You can mod it and get one then turn the mod off and give eggs to console players
I'm on PC
You can still get it
Iβm just saying via the mod on pc and the games cross platform you can get them on console
That's pretty funny actually that the functionality is there but they just chose to restrict us
The bird is rideble
If you want I could give you guys birds
What's the look of the bird you have?
...do you have a picture
Not at the moment
But when I get home I can get a picture
The gene sequencer works with the eggs as well
Rideable via a mod, but not inherently rideable vanilla
I have no mods installed and itβs rideable
The bird is on PS4 got it from someone who got it from someone else on pc who modded his game
I play on PS4
@merry sail
Oh
Like it's sad we need a mod
Then via mod
Of course
Because you need a mod to get it in the first place
But on my PS4 Iβm able to ride on it
Itβs rideble in vanilla because I have no mods but I know that the mod made the creature rideable so I donβt know @merry sail
awww
I found this armor doggo if anyone is interested
looks dope
Very dope
That explains why they taunt me. I am sad now.
those arent dragons my guy those are birds...
They look dragonish. And some dragons have bird wings.
hey you do you my guy xD
And here is Rodan
That actually looks like the triangle head guy from Silent Hill and Godzilla had a baby lol
Also that does slightly resemble with dragon
The triangle guy from silent hill is named Pyramid Head
Also I found something that actually looks like a deer
Also hereβs the deer if anyone cares
Does anybody have a guide for synthetic friend color sequencing?
Or a link to one? Been driving myself bonkers trying to sequence an appearance for my lil robo gorl and I just cannot get anything right
Oop finally found one, time to find out if it's still accurate
Okay, didn't quite work. Does anybody know specifically how to get the robotic pet that looks like this β€΅οΈ to come out white?
Gold is supposed to work but it seems to apply to the shield-faced ones and not the long boyes. Hav been using this guide
I'm doing some exploration on normal.... Wish to discover a good world to build a base in and have some good chill gameplay.... Dm if anyone wants to join.....
Dang ya sellin eggs?
Hehe I sure can give ya one fo free if you like, ive got an egg that should be mature by the time I get home from work!
Lol thx thatd be great
Absolutely! Gotta love the hyper zoomy robodoggo ^^ can sequence for you or supply materials also if you had a particular color or trait in mind
If ya want i got a spare diplo egg
Looks pretty weird though
Lol with eggs i have i just shove random stuff in and use the power of reloading my save
You're lookin for #nms-lfg-or-trades if you haven't posted in there already. Can't imagine you'd get too well of a response rate in here lol
hi guys anyone got coordination for a teddy bear looking of a proto-gek ?
or a egg ?
i really want oneeeee
so cuteeee
this proto-gek design
i found one that look like this
still looking for the above one XD
I have a rhino faced teddy lol
Lol
i made this
as small as possible :kek:
awwwwww
An baby,,,
I need a cute pet anyone got any?
(Euclid) I just found a beetle that's 6.5m and its notes are "Deceptively Fast". I'll say, I had to bust out an exocraft to chase this thing and tame it :O
What's the recommended personality traits?
where can I find a pet like this?
I have one on my xbox account save but it was so long ago I forgot where I got it
you can find them in systems that have no race in them
Ok, thanks
Coolest thing I've discovered so far!
here we have a uh... orb
comes in all sizes. makes a great gift.
if you're, y'know. into orbs.
Am i able to mutate a sandworm egg via the Egg Sequencer?
yes but you only get 1 variant
I found one that looks like a moon. And intelligent to boot
Called itself tomoz-tomoz and Iβm itβs best friend, whiles itβs my pet
Look at the size of this lad.
Beetle.
what are the glyphs of world you found it in?
I forget. It was for one of those weekend missions
does anyone have the biological horror companion egg or the giant worm egg? Iβm ngl i dont have much to give but ill see if i have what u need
Wouldn't it say in the discovery tab
I'll check later
PLSSSSS I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Ooooo, I have one of those too. Mine is purple and grey cause I genetically modified it. They're very cool.
watch him rollin watch him go
"They see me rollin', they hatin'."
@exotic sun its a own planet type
planet of light
they all look like that
i lived on one like that myselfe for a while
how many times (limit) can i umm do egg sequencer thing to make it huge
are there actually prehistoric worlds I want a t-rex lol
imma get a better pic of my pets in a bit
Anyone want a flying t3ddy bear
If that some point it says "inherited" it means you're at the max!
I think it works like that for size as well iirc
i have a sandworm, my friend has a worm 10x the size of mine
Was interested in breeding, bred a sandworm, got disappointed that there was only 1 gene mutation
@exotic sun coordinates for that orb pet?
I can give you one of each for free, but fwiw I'm looking for s-class salvaged fleet units, DM me
it was on an expedition save so idk if you can get it on normal, will post coords when I can
Uh you're looking for #nms-questions or #nms-legacy-ships.
oh, sorry
I'm excited to get off work. I have 4 eggs that should be ready to hatch. I've been messing with the sequencer π
Hopefully I get the colors I was going for on my butterfly
Thx for replying but i have no idea what s class salvaged fleet units are and i got my 2 eggs
Good luck tho
Are you still looking for one?
Calypso galaxy butterfly.
Eissentam
Canβt say Iβve ever seen anything like that before
my first pet , Big Stitch
Omg I love him. I'll trade one of my eggs for an egg from yours π
If you're interested let me know and I'll take some pictures of my pets when I get home.
Looking for a small cute creature
I have one that has two legs, no arms, and goat horns. 0.4m tall full grown. About waste height. Could probably be made smaller with the sequencer
is this an acceptable orb substitute
haven't been able to return to the planet I found the other orb at, is the thing
this is on normal
thanks! that thing looks pretty darn cool
euclid?
seems to me like it's the same thing from your previous picture, so ya, that'll definitely be acceptable lol
euclid
Is that from one of the bubble planets? I found a creature on a bubble planet that was just a giant bubble filled with a red liquid that drips out of the bottom.
@exotic sun
no it's from uh. whatever the current planet in this weekend's nexus mission is
also you're welcome! but I have basically anything I'd want already
Oh okay neat.
Hey ! I wouldn't mind seeing what pets you have , but if there's nothing I like I'm perfectly OK with just giving you an egg , I have 6 pets I'm pretty happy with
I might not get on today though I'm not sure 
can you run an egg through the sequencer more than once before hatching?
Yes
i just found this, it looks like flora but its actually a creature
Creatures that look similar to the local flora arenβt all too uncommon on anomalous planets
But nonetheless, cool
Part of what makes anomalous planets interesting
i love hopping around anomalous planets just to see what creature they have lol
Same here
Discoverd me some chonks today
V. Erithyaldus / 27.8kg / 0.8m / found on the frostbound planet Nuhagi XV in Euclid
WTF? A symbiotic blob?
Y. Spellbibilia / 141.1kg / 2.1m / found on the miasmatic moon Eubea Alpha in Euclid
@wicked anchor Not sure if you're looking for #explorers-archive, since that's where you usually post.
I'm not sure if I should have posted all my Fauna here. I guess it doesn't really matter
Oh you're fine posting it here, I thought you might've not noticed this wasn't #explorers-archive lol
My beautiful rideable giant butterfly. It turns florescent pink/purple at night β€οΈ
Woah
Not creepy, it made me laugh when I first saw it lol
Is a whole .2m
Hehe, its a lil baby man
Was barely bigger than a treat when I picked it up in the wild
Finally managaed to find my first diplo species
I got the Colony blob cousin thing
this is a new one for me
interesting coincidence is that their gender is "symmetric" and they are doing a sort of symmetric dance
Neat coincidence for sure
TOES
N. Rananiiseum / 151.8kg /2.6m / found on the bleak planet Abylos Roto in Euclid
Does anything work with the egg sequencer on the biological horror?
Bigger I think
Can I take the giant worm that goes in the ground and jumps up?
It's huge and very fast
If youβre talking about the huge worms that when scanned say βimmortal wormβ then no, the closest thing you can get to them is the sand worm pet from exp4(if thatβs the right one)
They are basically small versions of the huge ass worms you see
Is as close to it as you can get
Calypso galaxy.
aw
3rd good rex I've seen
atleast his head aint a stick
I have a similar rex
Pretty much
Anyone got a modded dragon like flying creature egg?
so uh... weird situation. I have a mineral extractor, it's allegedly doing its thing..... but nothing is appearing. Nothing is stored.
It's powered, it's banging on the ground, it says it's extracting copper
I even gave it a silo thinking that was the problem
but no matter how long it goes it stays at 0 stored
update: reloading solved it I guess?
bird from star wars?
Mine had to do the whole cycle before it gave me resources
Cool ones
J. Bonevaus / 74.1kg / 0.8m / found on the verdant planet Leolost in Euclid
N. Fonzciamae / 289.2kg / 6.5m / found on the caustic planet Udahankar V in Euclid
got this bad boy when Expedition #3 first came out. What materials do I need to make him Black & Red and supersized?
Sadly that isn't a thing we can do, that is the color
could supersize em tho
D. Batuhylikaneus / 80.3kg / 0.7m / found on the incandescent planet Eghampto Delta in Euclid
Aptarkaba Galaxy (12th). All animals in the same system
what are the creatures in the 4th picture called?
I found one that looks remarkably similar in Euclid last night
M. Brickasnoe / 177.8kg / 3.1m / found on the deathly green anomaly Mopstow IX in Euclid
this is the cutest thing I've ever encountered in this game so far 
Its this creature, second variant
omg is this pet-able?
bro I dont have a pic but I found one of these with a different color scheme on the same planet as the previous one I shared!
It is. I have one as a pet and his name is Tuk-Tuk
I'm gonna shrink it down in the egg sequencer because its taller than me and I'd prefer it be small and cute
Found all these in Euclid? Idk, i should prob travel more. It's since I've finished the storyline that i don't travel
Yeah in Euclid. I just find it crazy that the first time I see a creature yesterday and you post something so similar the next day. and then it happens a second time on the same day!
Do you have a pic of its second variant?
Bc the one i adopted is very different from the main one
Only one variant will show up on discoveries
I can get one after work for sure! I took it as a companion so it will be easy
@minor rain if you can, please list the coordinates and galaxy of the fauna you find, so others can find them as well 
I captioned the galaxy, and the fact that all animals are in the same system. Glyphs are in the pictures (some, which is enough since it's the same system)
I'll add planet names
@drowsy tide oh you know what I didn't see you posts above that, apologies
Last one for 2021:
V. Acanouliarae / 209.7kg / 4.6m / found on the marshy planet Wibriusal M41 in Euclid
See you all next year!
Turns out I was mistaken and my rolly polly guy is exactly the same as yours. no color difference
I found my first beetle will send screenshots later
If anyone's looking for butterfly noodles in Eissentam I found some

dragonflies
This is Flop. She gets into trouble a lot.
X. Chronounqus / 124.2kg / 2.7m / found on the toxic planet Ahas Alpha in Euclid
Only intelligent people can see this animal.
If I get 2 eggs from the same creature, will I always get the same outcome with the gene splicing for looks
If you do the exact same modifications, yes
this is also the coords for the butterfly posted above. Euclid
This guy's bigger than my ship.
my new robo pet :D
Nice pupper
I have a planet with them purple and having a parasol, if you want the coordinates?
i prefer them plain honestly thx for the offer, also if anyone wants one just hmu eggs'll start coming soon and therese no reason for me not too :D
Ay ay capβn
Where can I find oneβ¦. I need it
K. Traporoskima / 39.4kg / 0.5m / found on the paradise planet Inuy 50/K4 in Euclid
ummm ill have to send the glyphs (just remembered that I took a picture of the glyphs) but E. Derpytium is kinda small if I remember right
Here are the glyphs I think @opal fjord
Thanks
Did they work?
But do u have mini diplos?
So cute, if only they useful in some way
well they poop
This is a baby btw.
Found some large and vibrant beetles today in Eissentam
Also found some very bright green serpent butterflies
H. Solartalrium / 147.6kg / 3.0m / found on the bountiful planet Digno XIX in Euclid
oh my god, i have one of those but green and without the wings
does he bounce?
It bounces everywhere yes.
Iβm away from school sick rn so yeah. I can get you an egg from Flop. I also have this one.
MINES LOOKS EXACTLY LIEK THAT
1:1
euclid galaxy?
I believe so yeah.
A lot of the planets I visit change every update so I frequent between two galaxies
oh
Iβve had Flop for a very long time I donβt remember exactly where I picked her up. Her planet may not even be the same.
Iβll pick up an egg from her tonight so hopefully you can hatch it sometime tomorrow
Yeah itβs 9 PM for me rn so itβs no trouble getting on to get the egg.
alright
Alright I got the egg. Just DM Me tomorrow when youβre available
Does anyone know if the sandworm pet has genetic variants?
only seen one
doesnt look great
The main thing for me is to just know if I'm wasting my time or not.
And I don't think I'd say it looks bad or anything.
Meet my new pet ππππ
It's a result of genetic manipulation with the egg sequencer and the pet has the potential to become very large. It's already quite big and it's only a baby.
First picture is me and the parent. Second pic is me and the child π
They're so cute and beautiful πππππ
N. Serpiugeoris / 137.4kg / 3.3m / found on the hyperborean planet Fowel Prime in Euclid
Finished the expedition the other day and now I have my sweet baby girl, Blurmp. :o)
I like that they can look different from each other even though they are the same creature basically. Now the whole companion system I do not like because of the limit on how many we can have, no gender (as they all can produce an egg) and that we can not breed them. We need an update with an extensive overhaul to the companion system.
To be fair, the system now kind of just cuts out the middle man. I'm not sure that I'd want to manage a bunch of animals to breed the "perfect" one. Although I agree on the limit. More pets is always fun.
R. Woodzamelae / 309.1kg / 7.0m / and
N. Isobesia / 326.7kg / 6.8m / both
found on the torrid planet Couverco Senna in Euclid
how would one change a pets color to red & black?
phosphorus will give a black/grey and red color. will vary from creature to creature though
I have a mechanical pet and wanted it on that
it can lay eggs still right?
Somehow yes
and the colors are likely gonna look different on the robots I've never tried
i would try using phosphorus
you can always reload the save and try again if you don't like the color. i usually experiment with coloring that way
i usually reference this
idk what happened to the quality of that image but it's unreadable now lol
I can read it
me too
They typically don't read well when opening via Android discord app on mobile. You'll need to actually download it to get the full quality.
So, what percentage actually causes results? Do I just need 1%. Does a higher percentage result in a brighter color?
Thank you very much for sending this!
Always when I put stuff in the colour section it's mentioned as "unstable".
I wonder if it's possible to create (something close to) a Gek from a Proto Gek when you splice it enough.
I think focusing on size and intelligence is really important.
C. Warlonayvium / 281.6kg / 6.4m found on the wind-swept planet Rucinius VI in Euclid
You need to have the color say 100% unstable. Afaik the percentage listed is the percent chance that the color will change. The color will always be the same if you use the same materials
Thanks.
@stoic spade@lavish sinewIf you're on PC you can use this to easily back up and manage as many pets as you want, among other things. https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1879
I promote this tool at any chance I get because it's absolutely fantastic. Can't recommend it enough.
Each creature is backed up to a file that is typically less than a megabyte. Takes up very little space.
This little guy is one of the creatures I have backed up. The creature file itself doesn't take up much more space than this image.
Would love to see more people upload their pets to share on the associated discord. I'd love to see more grunt creatures like this one.
If I was on PC I would definitely give this tool a try. very cool!
V. Bommuneum / 136.7kg / 2.5m / found on the toxic moon Agri in Euclid
if anyone has a pet thats something along these lines i would appreciate it a lot. sorry if this isnt allowed
so a 6 legged dog?
with a long tail and that helmeted head type deal
and this is weird, but with paws, not lizard feet
probably easy enough, what gamemode
normal
Iβll let u know
ty
When you find a planet with cute little turtles scooting through the snow but you have no pet slots π
tie em up
no t-t
they sadly can't be tamed anyways. at least the ones I found couldn't. mine looked like Sea turtles scooting through the dirt on their bellies
Iβm boutta engineer some in the save editor
Was gonna start with the mole rats but the general consensus seems to be turtles
Are birds possible?
Ohhh that makes me feel a little better then!
do dem birds
havent found any nice actual lookin birdies
can you give a pet fur through the egg sequencer?
Yes
No
I will once Iβve got it down
I've litteraly seen one of these but with scales lil
Also it was a predator amd murdered like every other animal
Are fish possible
Not as pets 
Their using mods
π’
Yeah, working on it. I rly wanna get the whale looking ones and the angler fish that comes out of the alluring specimen
As I get more Iβll share them here and hand out eggs
ok
If your looking for a whale I found on a while a go
Hereβs cords if you want it
Thanks that helps a lot
Iβll be sure to get u an egg
cool
omg NARWHAL
omg music time
Lmao
ikr
thanks i rly appreciate it
that one I had to mess with a bit to get it to work, its like the sandworms in that the game tries making it a temporary animation instead of an actual creature
That thing can eat a Sentinel Walker whole if it could.
U should see my full sized sandworms
whaaaa that looks so friggin cool!
G. Corpsesidonosa / 73.0kg / 0.8m / found in the supercritical planet Epostwit Major in Euclid
thanks for the share! may wanna post that in #explorers-archive too for the archives 
the one in the back with the horns is really cool
Can I get one once I get home from school?
I used to post my diplo finds in the archive but I was never really sure if here or there was correct. π€·ββοΈ
either or both works. we usually do suggest to users trying to find any type of coordinates to check #explorers-archive so that's why i thought i'd suggested you add it there too. no biggie. 
Sure, but we might have different time zones
I live in Washington
I saw one of those eating a blob
Anyone have any diplo planets
im trynna figure out genetic modification, just to clarify are eggs able to have multiple traits? Mine currently says Large and Aggressive but i also wanna add helpful in there, that's possible right?
Big red rideable bird. Doesnt fly, sorry. See pic for location in Euclid. Just found it doing a stranded pilot mission
answered my own question but now im confused because whenever I try to increase helpfulness it just makes my guy playful
can it fly
or does it just glitch around on land like the last sea creature i adopted
It swims pretty well in water and the nexus, on land it slides down angles to find the lowest point
that's what my former pet shark did
You can adopt a few sea animals?
Oh nice! I just found one with wings
Pics & coordinates in a sec
Here it is: https://imgur.com/a/B6xnRqK
Sorry for the terrible quality...I guess that's what happens when you go from PS4 through TV to iPad XD
@final geode no comments in #explorers-archive btw. please see channel's Pins for guidelines 
all good. i managed to ping you in the wrong channel too lol oops!
Haha yes I noticed that
That looks pretty cool
if u lower the size multiplier by 1-2 its probably instant
I'm having trouble deciding on aggressive or passive
i like aggressive
Its wierd cuz it's instant in multiplayer but not on single player
Cousin of Siren Head? Haha
yes
(i custom make em just hmu if u want smth (idk how to do color yet))
Still doing this btw
nice shots! 
tysm
I found a flying teddy bear
needs bird wings
I donβt like bird wings ):
you no like burds????
You mind helping me set up the model viewer later? Ik we had similar issues trying to get it to work
I no like burds ):
i no like lime
T-T
No gifs, thank you!
Whoops my bad
No problem!
Does anyone know how to edit the looks of your egg and know the outcome on Xbox or is that not a feature on a console?
you can mod by editing files
you can gene sequence hatch then reload if no like
youll have to figure Anatomy yourself
Ohhh thank you very much lunar moon (who like donβt me ): )
Osazi-Osa
A little higher then one Gek, found on a paradise planet in the Euclid galaxy
aww sad, you couldn't find it with those coordinates? wonder what galaxy it's supposed to be
The Planet coords are right it's just an update ruined the spawns
oh no sad times
it's beeeeautiful. which galaxy was it, Euclid?
I think so
and thena creature with the same pattern
scratch that i just need a creature with the same pattern
one of my favorite creatures so far
Love it.
cool. on which planet?
do you mean planet type, or specific planet name
You see this absolute unit here? They're just a baby here
Look at how big the adult grows to
nice shot 
Thanks!
Jesus
Amazing! How have I never seen that before! Got glyphs for it?
Anyone have any grunt creatures to share? Those are my favorite creature type.
Hello! May I know what planet you can get that? It looks cool
What counts as a grunt creature? (Still learning π )
hello its not a planet its me :D
i make em :D
heres some other ones :D
π Are you selling them?
yuparoonie
How much? Or what to trade?
Ooohhhh more!!!
dm me lets talk
Oooo I want one ππ
dm me too :D
Okie dokie!!
Anyone want a frilly diplo egg π?
Its not white
sadly not, sorry
looks snek but
A grunt type creature is like the teddy bear or proto gek body types.
Well y don't u make it white then ;P
I have an impossible time recoloring things. probably because i'm always messing with the special type creatures but yeah
YES
itβs a diplo and a dilo put together
Man I wish I could get the app to work so I could deliver more fauna. Takes forever playing the guessing game with parts
Do u have blender?
Yessir
Ill send u any obj file of the creatures u want, it's not as good cuz it doesn't show u the families of the parts but u can at least see and see the names of the parts
Thatβd be awesome
Is it possible to send the obj for all the limbs of a creature at once? Then I could probably highlight the limbs 1 by 1 to see whatβs what?
could I have an egg?
Okay!! Iβm just about to get on π do you want to meet me at my base?
Whatβs a dilo? π
Ohhhh I think Iβve come across some of those lemme see
The first one is my fav π
Iβm on the way from school rn
But Iβll let you know
Okie dokie! I should be home around 5 to give you the egg too!
Ok cool
A dilo
Oh my goodness
Ohhh yea like on Jurassic Park!! I thought it was something from the game π
@strange path omg that creature you posted in #nms-photomode-gallery, one of my faves i've see out there! do you have more screenies?
I can probably pop up more. :> He was a fun editing project.

(Going back in time from most recent to the first version of him uploaded) @split carbon
dude! thanks!
Mkay last/new one.
i wish you can keep it that size, with that head to body size ratio i mean. it's so darn cute
I've been messing with his 'bones' setting to try to. I'm close. Think I got his scale down to about the best it can get. As an adult the head's just a bit smaller... but his legs are longer and that kind of throws off the cute.
Also his old head before the editing was longer and his neck longer. Now it's always short and his head is more round, but I can't seem to change that back to what it was.
no way! that's so fascinating! when you do that via a save editor, if you get an egg from that creature, are other players able to get those same traits?
They do, he's already uploaded on the NMS Creative/Sharing Hub discord.
oh what happened to that last post. was trying to read it and it disappeared 
Sorry, it felt like offtopic info so I nuked it. π
And I'm old - old enough to ... not actually remember what it was now either. π
whaaa off-topic how?
Think it was just noting that it's the same form as the third pic in the list, but with the slightly feathered tail from the last one.
i'm very appreciative or the insight!
It has some weird side effect to it which is kind of neat, seems maybe for every one of three times I hatch a new egg, his coloring will change at random, even if you don't mess with the dye colors.
I wanted him watermelon colored (green and pink) but he keeps becoming things like grey and gold, or a steel grey-blue and orange.
whaaa. that's an interesting pattern. i gather that's not typical with other creatures? and is it because of the save editing? or just the species itself?
and yea, absolutely love that color combo (green and pink)
I've never had it happen with any other things I've created in the editor. Wait, I did have one of these guys come out with the giraffe-ey spots in place of the stripes.
Uranium-based coloration when 'forcing' it back to those colors.
interesting. you did more testing?
Its look badass
In the case of color, just used the companion color chart.
Whats the best material for helpfulness and independence?
I also can't decide on aggressive or gentle...
Aggressive is potentially better
Is there a guide to the different parts a robot dog can have?
Try checking the pins.
Nothing in the pins regarding different genealogy of robot fauna
I have lol that's why I'm asking. I could have sworn I seen a chart somewhere with the different heads and such
You're looking for the GHEC archive - specifically https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/GHEC_Robot_Antelope_Album π
Alternatively, https://nms.miraheze.org/wiki/Antelope for more 'raw data' info.
Thank you, this had exactly what I was looking for
Well almost, no TP coordinates
the GHEC ones do (though many of them are extinct at this point). The Discoveries is not a location database. You said you wanted a part list, you got a part list. π
(And yeah, locations would make my job a lot easier too) π
In those colors?
... Well, color?
Closest I have in my database is this... color and shoulder trim is off, but that's about it.
... Trick is that the white ones have a different body style than the tintable ones, and I've not figured how to change one to the other... yet
Also a year old, may or may not still be existing.
I like the shoulder things, and I'm pretty you can change the color?
Seems I've only been able to re-tint ones that were not white to start with.
"Robots that are white in the wild can't be recolored" π€·ββοΈ
Same.
And this is the link to the Drive document guide for non-robotic coloring. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18NpXKAQ8TvOmUi8TSJT1EjeIeaVKjzVm/view π
Thanks π - the last pin has that as well
Ahhhh, I didn't scroll down that far. π
Whoops, felt silly to have two of the same chart so I wiped mine, thought it was yours that you pinned, my bad. π
Oh my heck where did you get that deer from π₯Ί
I think I have the planet saved with a base computer but if not you're welcome to an egg!
That's straight from the wild
That would be awesome either way!! π
I think my diplo is ready to lay another egg so we could trade if you want?
Sure! I don't have a diploma- been focusing on the titan worm
Diplo*
Okie dokie! I should be home in like an hour and a half and Iβll be on π my Titan worm might be of age to lay an egg π€ Iβll check that too!
I'll DM you my friend code and you can hit me up whenever you can. I'll be around for several hours reworking some mines
Alrighty!
Itβs kinda cute.
looks like sth from spore lmao
happen to have glyphs where I can find this guy? ππ
I can easily get them as soon as I get on
Eissentam. I have a little hut set up witha teleporter at -17.73 +98.59 to get out easily
Thank you very much!

Awww

he so darn cute! i must get one soon
Same
Glados dog
can you select it from the menu?
here's me and my best bro out exploring
Then vs now.
The previous time I played NMS and summoned Joyito they were as tall as me but now they have gotten even chonkier and they are almost twice my size. I wonder if they have already reached their max height. Their colouring has changed too. From green to grey and purple.
And, once again, this is the parent.
Never seen an ant headed crab, looks cool
I am curious⦠do you have the glyphs for the planet you found the original on?
So cute
I want it
I have the planet but I have to look for the glyphs again
Okay
That's really odd, is this setting in prefs set right? π
Edit: Never mind, that setting isn't affecting that. So it's still a mystery. :(
You fed it after space midnight, didn't you... doesn't anyone read the instructions any more? π
"Umm... Maybe don't feed the local wildlife..."
Big Blobgus
wow! what a lovely shot and cool creature!
