Adrift Era [v1.07]

Sulphuric vibes [Adrift Era v1.07]

Different dead planet, more ominous atmosphere
Adrift Era [v1.07]

also something worth noting here is that the surface soil is different from that of the other couple dead planets i recently visited

Much coarser soil, a rockier feel, and tumultuous landscape in general.

Adrift Era [v1.07]

Adrift Era [v1.07]

A different type of soil found here & there on this particular dead planet. Adrift Era [v1.07]

Finally something neither dead nor lush. Adrift Era [v1.07]

[dusty dove]

Good old inventory 😄

Made in August 13th 2016 (4 days after steam release)

[limpid helm]

Haven't seen this fauna head in a bit. Adrift Era [v1.07]

hard to get good fauna shots in Adrift Era, but tried to get some more of this fauna. The multicolored look on this one really stood out to me.

[dusty dove]

Prolly the best looking planet i found in old NSM.

[limpid helm]

there are eyes in the trees...Adrift Era [v1.07]

[white dragon]

Just appreciating the old UI in Atlas Rises [v 1.38 - Nov 25, 2017]

A slight channel, Adrift Era [v1.07]

A clear contrast to the smoother soil from the above planet, Adrift Era [v1.07]

[visual stone]

My very first NMS screencap. Fairly certain this was from launch:

Pathfinder [v1.2]

[brazen oar]

Where can the legacy games be discussed freely (vs. kept to a minimum), with the #nms-legacy channel gone?

I assume that's not now #off-topic-bond-james-bond.

[marsh glade]

#nms-the-future

and idc if its in off-topic

[brazen oar]

Ah, #nms-the-future is a discussion of past and future of the game. Got it.

[knotty swallow]

7 days after release

This planet was on fire almost all the time

Atlas Rises [1.30] - my Bountiful Moon

NEXT [1.50] - The future site of my longest-running base in my main save. 3.0 turned the planet an ugly green though.

You can see where I was seated in the previous picture.. I'm a tiny little dot here.

Praise the sun!

Probably my favorite NMS picture I've ever taken here [1.50]

[hexed edge]

launch day screenshots

[rapid trellis]

Haha skipped leg day

[prime needle]

Top pic looks very "satisfying"

[hexed edge]

@prime needle i definitely stood at attention when i saw it

[daring kite]

just look at this crazy terrain !!!

[sterile berry]

great canyons

[copper pine]

i'm still waiting for moon with lakes and oceans

[daring kite]

i think this was my first lush planet

[copper pine]

Anyone remember pilgrim star (or starfall on ps4)? X:

[sterile berry]

it almost looks like each side of the canyon are separate biomes

[copper pine]

Oh yes i noticed now xD

[brazen oar]

Is that the one the guy walked around?

Circumnavigated on foot

[brazen oar]

I thought I uploaded this earlier -- did it get deleted? (the early hauler) ^^

Lush moon with lakes [1.03]

[night hull]

mannn, so many gorgeous legacy screenshots.

[dire mantle]

Night Grazing [1.03]

[mighty venture]

i loved the massiveness

[brazen oar]

The solitude, it can rend a mind, utterly.

[wild lodge]

Is that current version?

[chilly nimbus]

For Xbox yes.

[wild lodge]

Ok so, this is #legacy-screenshots for older versions, you want #nms-photomode-gallery for current

[regal reef]

Early discoveries!

[daring kite]

Was amazing back then, finding those first few planets, fauna etc...everything truly felt alien

[mossy vortex]

Main thing I noticed the first time I reverted to an old version was the sound design. Ambients, music all that@daring kite

[copper pine]

Believe it or not, this is a moon

[sterile berry]

that's cool terrain

[copper pine]

yea

1.0x - 1.2x has some of the craziest terrains, 1.3x have a bit more crazier terrains, but somewhat degraded. NEXT onward the terrain gotten to the low point. Origins does do something, but not as crazy as before 1.3x

when i look at the pic, it seems like partially submerged trees are a thing during 1.0x - 1.2x

[smoky nest]

Moons used to be able have water???

[daring kite]

yep

don't know why they took it away

[dire mantle]

This is for older versions @violet heath you want #nms-photomode-gallery

[vagrant spoke]

legacy shots from the wiki of generated fighters - that long engine profile is freaky

[mighty venture]

I really like the one 2nd from The left at the bottom

[daring kite]

Modded

i think this was the first S class fighter i found

[subtle crypt]

Is that a big flying snake?

[daring kite]

they're normally quite high in the sky but with mods they lowered their flight path

[sterile berry]

it’s disgusting, i love it

Throwback to when there was no building system and Signal Boosters had to be found at these small habitat buildings (or randomly in the wild)

[cloud ore]

Those numbers are also the real co-ordinates of the star system in the galaxy too 🙂

[runic steppe]

I was playing on a 1280*1024 monitor so it looks kinda weird

old multitool GUI

underwater

[storm mulch]

the water looked so much better than it does now 😦

[dire mantle]

Yeah, the current water needs some love. I hope they improve it soon

[cloud ore]

I remember everyone being so blown away by the water in the NEXT trailer and I already thought it looked good in AR

[dire mantle]

Plutonium and Gold Crystals [1.03]

Water on a lifeless planet

[tight ginkgo]

Does anyone have screenshot of a blue soil, green grass planet with the weird pillars of emiril from when deposits spawned in massive terrain manipulayable pillars?

1 is up to pathfinder

and 2 is Atlas Rises

[vagrant spoke]

taken around 2018, AR right?

[marsh glade]

should be aye

[vagrant spoke]

2018-04-12 so yeah atlas rises

[vagrant spoke]

gonna be honest folks ships used to look like dogshit

[daring kite]

seemed much more cartoon-y back then

[sterile berry]

yeah, the ships were almost too simplified compared to everything else. that’s one thing I like about current day ships, the level of detail makes em look real nice

[daring kite]

ye much better now

[ripe beacon]

Shuttles looked generally better imo.
The larger shuttle cockpit still looks wonky to me personally.

Also, I forgot about these 'anise pod' looking features.
I found similar features in the current game on a desert planet yesterday, but they weren't as obvious as this.

[sterile berry]

oh yeah it depended on the ship type

shuttles had more detail

[dire mantle]

Majestic creature [1.03]

Planets could look pretty rough from orbit sometimes

Green Winter

[mighty venture]

What in fucks sake, I’ve never seen that before. That’s so cool!

@odd yew this channel is for previous versions of NMS, you want #nms-photomode-gallery

[odd yew]

OH SORRY

[wild lodge]

No worries

[vagrant spoke]

heehee dumpi

[wild lodge]

@distant ermine this is for prior versions of NMS, you want #nms-photomode-gallery

[distant ermine]

It was from an older version.

I took it back in 2020.

[wild lodge]

My mistake then, saw the nebula and character model

[distant ermine]

All good.

[daring kite]

Very first planet but unfortunately didn't get to explore it as i had to quit and didn't save

[daring kite]

love the terrain in that top image

[mighty venture]

Snaking terrain was so eerie and alien. I loved it.

[smoky nest]

As someone who never played the early versions, I want to see more pictures of water on moons

[old grove]

@smoky nest

[daring kite]

I want to float down that river in a canoe.

[smoky nest]

I still can't believe they got rid of water on moons; like why?

[sterile berry]

who knows

[mossy vortex]

insanity, the same reason they did a lot of their choicifying

[marsh glade]

Which version is this? Those look like Prisms stars on the last one

[marsh glade]

Which version? NEXT or Beyond?

[distant ermine]

It's from 2020, so Beyond.

Thinking back on it, I think this was the first monolith I ever found.

[mossy vortex]

The last one is definitely post-prism but w/e
The channel is pretty slow so I don't see the harm in a random extra pic here or there

[mossy vortex]

Alright I'ma boutta drop some that may have been seen before, but were lost to the previous legacy channel's removal. Apologies if some look familiar to you 🙂

@marsh glade Just a question you've probably answered before - what about modded Legacy?

[noble skiff]

The armada(most amount of ships i have ever seen in a single spot)

[high comet]

That's fine, I think.

[marsh glade]

modded legacy is fine yeah

[rough jasper]

My very first picture taken in NMS, on Synthesis.

[wild lodge]

@mighty venture please use this channel for Legacy Screenshots only, ask in #no-mans-sky

[mighty venture]

Ok sorry

[silver tusk]

the first screenshot i could find on my ps4, taken back on 3/18/2020 also just coming back from a huge break, having plenty of fun so far.

[old grove]

Starting planet

[terse zinc]

i have a hundred or so pathfinder and atlas rises screenshots on ps4. I wanna get some up on here.

[wild lodge]

Feel free

[mossy vortex]

Do it. Drop that album like its hot

[distant ermine]

Shots like these make me miss the aesthetic of NMS when it came out.

[distant ermine]

Here's a personal favorite.

God my ship was hideous back then.

[delicate solstice]

Some really old shots from Atlas Rises:

Can't believe I've owned this ship for 4 years now! 💙 💛 🚀

[delicate solstice]

Viridescent Moon

[delicate solstice]

Malfunctioning Moon

[mossy vortex]

What makes the spherified images?

[delicate solstice]

I did these a looong time ago 😝 and I'm not even sure the actual software I used even exists anymore! But if you wanted to give it a go yourself - Just search for something like 'tiny planet generator' - You'll need to take quite a few pics from a fixed point whilst you're in photo mode and the software will then stitch them all together for you! 😃

[mighty venture]

Could probably use a fisheye filter in a photo editor

[delicate solstice]

You might be right... But I do like the level of detail you can get my taking multiple shots - if you zoom into the top of the malfunctioning moon you can actually see my Explorer parked up!

[distant ermine]

She's been with me for more than a year now. Couldn't have asked for a finer ship.

[brazen oar]

That screenshot I posted above -- I can feel that in my gut, somehow.

[delicate solstice]

I miss this style of dead planet... (Atlas Rises)

[torn cipher]

I appreciate how far the game has come, but I still like the old aesthetic

[marsh glade]

Same

That dead planet is very SpaceEngine

[delicate solstice]

💯 % - What we've got now is absolutely amazing and I've no doubt that at least some of the appeal of those earlier iterations is inevitably tied up with nostalgia and instant love I had for the ambition of NMS ❤️ 🚀

This is from Beyond, believe it or not.

@novel marten is that the pre order ship

[novel marten]

yes, it is

[old grove]

@rich whale Looks nice! Post some more 😉

[wild lodge]

@rich whale so these are modern NMS with a mod?

[rich whale]

yes

[wild lodge]

Ok, then they belong in #nms-photomode-gallery

Different nights from NMS Foundations update

[prisma willow]

I legit play No Man’s Sky less because I can no longer enjoy sites like these anymore (unless I downpatch), could wander a single planet for hours back then.

[outer arrow]

You could just play an older version tbh

[cloud ore]

Really liked this Silhouette on a planet in Path Finder

Waka waka waka

[devout condor]

mmm yellow man

[wintry mesa]

This is a beautiful screenshot of a beautiful ship 😍
C-can i find these ships these days? The simplicity, the class!
Also the PINK land!! I need this!

[azure glacier]

Sadly that ship is a pre order ship that after next is now green but the seed exists

And turning on legacy colours for that ship slot will make it blue again

[wide spoke]

I saw a diplo that looks like this minus the spines. It was on a [redacted] biome.

[brazen oar]

This ship design is still in the game. As far as simplicity - this is fairly flat-shaded, and I like it, but the current version of this would have many more minute details, reflections, etc. on it. I will DM you a look at the evolving rendering of a particular ship I put together.

[marsh basin]

This counts as legacy, right? Just look at that Map UI

[obtuse cedar]

I went back to this planet after some updates and it definitely doesn't look as nice now.

[night hull]

sad times even tho channel's intended for only legacy shots, it's insightful getting to see the comparison.

[cloud ore]

Rocky Red and Blue Grass Planet in 1.13 Foundation

[prisma willow]

Wdym, those are both legacy shots?

[night hull]

assumed them going back after updates in present day meant not legacy:

I went back to this planet after some updates and it definitely doesn't look as nice now.

I think that's an old picture of the planet

Ooh nice

[prisma willow]

Further exploration into 1.0

[prime needle]

I know, believe me, all the differences between 1.0 and now....but I think a lot of the feeling I got from earlier versions is mostly the filter and the lighting.

[old grove]

@prime needle Also terrain gen. The old lighting is lost forever now

[obtuse cedar]

My first screenshot on launch day on my starter planet

[sterile berry]

i enjoy those tiny mountains

Atlas Rises - June '18

[brazen oar]

1.1 ^^^

( 1.1 all in this batch )

[brazen oar]

Last base in Atlas Rises, June 2018. This became the ocean floor when NEXT landed.

[mossy vortex]

Any chance that base can be visited in a reverted game or was the save file updated and base thereafter put to rest?

Would be neat if it were still reachable

[brazen oar]

Well, when NEXT landed, that spot ended up on the bottom of the ocean. It looks like my save files don't have it; I have an Atlas Rises save before the base was built, then the next one I kept is the first save after NEXT landed, perhaps oddly. I cleared out a few, should have kept one just before NEXT. NEXT, as you will recall, stored all pre-existing bases and allowed for them to be placed anew with a base computer, once. Over a year after, I went ahead and did that for nostalgia. I've since killed that base, though.

[quasi hatch]

Old pic of my first A class ship.

[frosty socket]

Is it still possible to play legacy versions to get these pics?

[ripe beacon]

I would check the pins in #nms-modding and maybe ask @mossy vortex if the linked steam files still work.
I'd say yes, but my copy of 1.2 decided to stop working entirely a few days ago 😢

[mossy vortex]

oh no 😦

@ripe beacon@frosty socket At the very least, I haven't changed the File availability on the Google Drive.

[left jasper]

oh my foult dident see sorry

deleted:p

[solar plover]

Anyone else still flying a 48-slot ship that predates Tech Class?

[left jasper]

omg i can do dis to just turn down settings

sorry

[distant ermine]

Sometimes I miss the old NMS aesthetic.

[outer arrow]

Was it graphical glitches?

[ripe beacon]

Any save (even a new game) loads in to a white screen with the planet name on it and never resolves.
The initial loading screen (flying through galaxy map) is also completely black except for the random named systems that fly by as white dots.

[ripe beacon]

Tried that too, couldnt get it to work still
I reverted to a couple different ones with no luck
I tried one that worked back when I last played (496.13)
And I also tried 479.something, both custom installs to remove the current driver.

[brazen oar]

Me too.

[old grove]

@mighty venture I have the same issue, could you please post the driver version here when you check the version?

[outer hull]

was your base still there after NEXT?

[native frost]

Lush planet from Pathfinder

[brazen oar]

No, all pre-existing bases were packed up into an archive that you could choose, in NEXT, to have re-deployed on a world of your choice. (Players could only have one base at a time pre-NEXT.)

[outer hull]

ah shame that could've been cool to visit your flooded base

[mighty venture]

I regret putting my tropical resort base on a desert world by accident lol

What’s a shame is that I can’t delete anything and that I can’t just move it again lol, half of the assets there yo can get anymore too

[daring kite]

[dire mantle]

v1.03

[mighty viper]

noo i lost my legacy pics

[mossy vortex]

That's sad

[dreamy tide]

I wish I could go back in time and play any older version, not just v1.00

[agile imp]

theres a way to play any version you want but its an ordeal i think

[dreamy tide]

Oh sweet do you know how?

[agile imp]

idk if it still works but here is a link. I've never done it myself. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/hfqvds/updated_guide_to_playing_legacy_versions_of_no/

[dreamy tide]

Looks like it doesn’t ):

Some dude managed to get v1.09 running on PS4 somehow tho, but it’s full of technical jarble.

The post is

[agile imp]

https://nomansskyretro.com/ maybe this will work?

[dreamy tide]

This is really cool! Unfortunately, I don’t have a good gaming PC, only a PS4

[agile imp]

oh i see

[dreamy tide]

I could try to see if my current PC could run it, though I doubt it

[mighty venture]

whats Pathfinder???

[jovial reef]

Woah

[mossy vortex]

Its the Second titled update to NMS from 2017

[dreamy tide]

Is that a legacy screenshot? You may wanna post that in #nms-photomode-gallery instead

[dreamy tide]

I’ve done it! I have successfully downgraded to v1.13 on PS4!

[dreamy tide]

A few more v1.13 shots before I upgrade to Atlas Rises

(This moon had freezing rain by the way, never knew that existed)

Here’s some more

[mossy vortex]

@dreamy tide@solar plover Very nice legacy shots 🙂

[dreamy tide]

Upgrade successful! Missing a bit of the beauty of Foundation but it’s made up for by a true photo mode

[mossy vortex]

In your opinion, what specific things are better in Foundations?

[ocean hazel]

I lost the yellowed graphics of old NMS 🥲

[dreamy tide]

Just the terrain/visuals, really. I’d say just about everything is better in Atlas Rises. Controls feel good, exploration is more fun (because exocraft, ship summoning, etc.), and the terrain/visuals are still better than they are now. I really like Atlas Rises, and I feel Hello Games could learn a bit from this version.

I’m excited to try out Pathfinder soon. I hope it’s the best of both worlds (beautiful terrain+ exploration convenience)

[mighty venture]

I’ve had Toxic rain pre-NEXT on lush worlds, shame they got rid of that stuff
(Oop sorry for ping)

[outer arrow]

Atlas rises had loads of qol stuff that youd miss from pathfinder, but then pathfinder had better world gen and all that 🤷‍♀️

[dreamy tide]

Can you summon your ship in pathfinder?

[outer arrow]

Only at landing pads

[dreamy tide]

Ah too bad

[dreamy tide]

Pathfinder time! I’m using the vintage filter to emulate the vibe of versions before. Again, dedicated photo mode, but you have the best generation in the game to go with it! Lots of dead planets though…. Also this goes for any legacy version (except Atlas Rises), but it’s impossible to tell what biome planets are from the exterior alone. Weird.

[dreamy tide]

v1.23 (Pathfinder)

[sand inlet]

God I remember the day of plutonium

[outer arrow]

Be careful with dead planets in pathfinder, you can literally get stranded on them and ruin your save lol

[subtle sphinx]

Part of me wants to disconnect my internet and load up good ol 1.0 NMS and be amazed again at how far the game has come

[dreamy tide]

Make sure you back up your save first lol

[woeful coral]

Launch-day NMS (1.03)

[dreamy tide]

Stunning, especially that last one

[sterile berry]

i like the support under the snake terrain

[next tinsel]

Can't believe I miss the old snake terrain. Used to be like "oh boy there's another one of those planets", but it's just not as cool now when the noodles never leave the ground.

[sterile berry]

mhm it was everywhere but it was still neat. There needs to be a balance. Hoping they come back, but they don’t take over every planet.

[dire island]

1.0 launch disc ps4

[dreamy tide]

Sweet

[quaint cedar]

how do you all post so m any legacy photos while being in modern update?

[outer arrow]

Perhaps by playing the older versions?

[quaint cedar]

but how, les take it to #no-mans-sky or help

[outer arrow]

By upgrading (or downgrading or whatever you want to call it as pre next is an improvement imho) to the older version?

[quaint cedar]

and how does one uninstall the newer updates

[outer arrow]

Its more of an reinstall the older version

Mainly from when we played it back then we kept the old installation files

[quaint cedar]

ohh ok, thanks found a few vids thanks

[outer arrow]

👍

[dreamy tide]

I love abusing the fact that Atlas Rises lets you hover on a planet’s surface to just stare at this in real time.

[mighty venture]

whats atlas rises?

[floral oak]

An update

[wild lodge]

@keen nexus you want #nms-photomode-gallery, this channel is for previous versions of NMS

[keen nexus]

oh shet i didn't see the "legacy" word in this channel

[wild lodge]

No worries

[keen nexus]

i was like "why this channel seems quite?" lol

[mighty venture]

Atlas Rises has some nice fog effects. Too bad they seem to have gotten worse over the years.

[dreamy tide]

An asymmetrical fighter

Bossk from Star Wars

[solar plover]

@dreamy tide little fry Bossk workin the counter tryin 2 impress ol' Cradossk lol.

[mossy vortex]

I hated that sort of asymmetric ship tbh. Made no sense

[outer arrow]

I swear its a glitch as well, especially on a fighter

[solar plover]

I'd actually love one of those asym fighters, glitch or no, just for the rarity lol.

[mental zephyr]

I love how all these old legacy shots have this odd filter on them that actually makes them look old and washed out, especially the landscape ones

[dreamy tide]

I was playing Pathfinder, which actually removed the filter, but you can play the game in any filter via the settings, and it feels wrong to me to play any pre-Atlas Rises version without the filter lol

The filter resets after every warp too, so you gotta go to settings and change it back lol

[outer arrow]

Which filter is it?

[dreamy tide]

What is now called the “vintage” filter. By default, it is off in Pathfinder, but you can re-enable it in the settings. It is the only option in pre-pathfinder versions.

[outer arrow]

👍

[keen nexus]

Reminds me a lot with early days of Instagram

[wind agate]

What makes a screenshot legacy?

[wild lodge]

Anything previous to Origins

[tall tangle]

[dreamy tide]

Who knew I’d find my first Lesser Mushroom Beetle in Foundation?

[mossy vortex]

Thats a Mushroom Lesser Beetle

[outer arrow]

Remember when ai ships could actually fly lol

[mossy vortex]

No. I can't remember them ever flying right XD

[dreamy tide]

You have removed your deep-fry and I’m not sure how I feel about it

[outer arrow]

Bahahahaha just realised what your referring to

[surreal anvil]

Is that with a screenshot filter or is it possible to make that your character?

[dreamy tide]

I’m sure it’s possible to make Bossk in the modern game. These shots are from Pathfinder, which is the first version of the game to remove the yellow filter, but you can put it back through an option that lets you overlay any of the game’s filters as you play (a feature that isn’t in the game anymore). I just applied it to photo mode and captured it real quick.

is this a pre-Origins screenshot (before 3.0)?

[mighty venture]

No

[night hull]

[floral adder]

Nada was actually using this simulation thing?

The simulation computer ||you can put Artemis|| in? It was always active back then?

[rain berry]

Well this was an early Atlas as I recall with Nada and Polo and you could get a mutlitool ect inside

[floral adder]

OMG they need to bring it back! I now regret not playing NMS sooner 😭😭😭

[floral adder]

I’d love to see that computer being active again

[rain berry]

Me too the mutli tools were very nice

[cerulean parcel]

oh lord same

I have a 2018 save with 57 minutes in it, never played more due to some reasons and then drivers/bios update annihilated the perf of my gpu in my laptop in a lot of games, NMS included

[floral adder]

So it's just like new NMS now?

[cerulean parcel]

haven't tested it yet, but things like the anomaly I'd imagine would be new

[floral adder]

I have only been playing NMS since October 2021

im so burnt out on NMS but when I see these old screenshots and pre-release stuff, I'm re-energized

[woeful coral]

It would have been cool to see 2016 NMS with added variety to its planet/creature/biome generation. It would be the closest we have to the original vision of the game

[floral adder]

What's that stone with the runes on it?

[wild lodge]

That's a publicity shot from 2016 or before - knowledge stone.

[wild lodge]

Another publicity shot.

Looks I need to go over all your entries at this point. Please credit others if you post their shots.

[floral adder]

There was a NMS comic released by a collector's edition when the game was just released and the cover of that comic had this stone on it.

I would love to see the return of these runestones and make them have a similar function as monoliths or something.

[night hull]

Are these publicity shots from HG? If so, can you please add a caption to each that is not your own?

[mighty venture]

Yep, they is.

Apologies for the confusion.

[night hull]

Thank you for updating them

[prisma willow]

Np

[mighty venture]

Dude pre-release NMS is the perfect game for me

All I wanted lol

[mossy vortex]

It had some critical missing pieces like quick menu, but I would agree for the most part.

ofc im talking about launch and not prerelease there

Why do we have slowmode in legacy screenshots, isnt this precisely where we want people to dump 40 pics at once?

[mighty venture]

To avoid conversation exactly like this.

[mossy vortex]

But.... It does nothing to avoid those conversations and everything to prevent sweet photo dumps

[night hull]

Otay has had zero issues posting lovely photo "dumps."

[mossy vortex]

You say that but Ive done a dump or two as well, and it entails dropping the pics in bulk, weighing down the enter key, and doing something else for the time that my PC is absolutely consumed by that requirement

In fact its the reason I havent dumped more in the past, because I would really rather continue being able to use my computer in that time

[night hull]

Easy workaround, dump as many as Discord allows in one post at a time

[mossy vortex]

Whatever workaround you're talkin about I don't know about. Help a poor fellow out

[night hull]

Oh, Discord allows for multiple images to be uploaded per post. So it can help speed up the process you're trying to accomplish, bypassing the cooldown.

[mossy vortex]

I understood that much, I just don't know how to do that

[night hull]

If you're on PC, you can select multiple image files, by pressing the Shift key (if listed in sequential order).

[mossy vortex]

Nah thats what Ive always done and it posts them all separately, slowdown timer between every one

Unless its recently change lemme give it a try

[sterile berry]

Exo you should make a beautiful collage and give it a frame made of flowers and twinkies

[mossy vortex]

Neat, it does clusters now, look at that

[woeful coral]

Speaking of pre-release, there are unused models left in the files like large trees which were used in e3 2014 and 2015

[woeful coral]

different unused trees this time

[prisma willow]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they removed this tree variant from the game (the two middle screenshots)

[mossy vortex]

Maybe they did in later versions but they would still be sitting around in older versions files same as ever

[prisma willow]

Yes I'm talking about post Next update

[outer arrow]

Proper mountains in the background tbh

[mighty venture]

Sad they removed them tho, the mass removal of assets over the years is so wack

There were so many cooler tree and grass and stuff and now they’re gone

[gritty oak]

All pre and post release deprecated assets amount for far more variety than some biomes have access to.

HG has taken a curated approach that seems antithetical to the game's concept.

[mighty venture]

Yeah, especially looking at pre-release Frozen worlds and current ones

It makes absolutely no sense to remove your hard work for seemingly no reason, and it didn’t even do anything good. Just imagine if we had the old and new assets mixed together, it would almost double variety.

Especially for lush worlds, they halved the amount of different tree types, and I see the same big thick tree asset in every lush world I stg

[gritty oak]

Honestly, it's hard to tell.
Some assets didn't make it at release but are technically dated, while other (like above screenshots) are perfectly fine, even look better than what we have, sometimes.

But the weirdest part is HG's tendency to sunset some of their assets.

Since release, we've lost trees, cave objects, underwater objects.
Also, not many people mention that but some assets that are still in use have regularly been gutted of some of their shapes and accessories.

[mighty venture]

There seems like almost no reason to get rid of them as well, it didn’t do anything good besides removing maybe 10mb on the file size

[gritty oak]

Toxic mushrooms have lost almost half of their shapes compared to release version.

The size of the game (especially models) has increased drastically with beyond because modified the geometry to improve LODs.

[wild lodge]

This channel has the same ruleset as #nms-photomode-gallery, with a slowdown and discussion kept to a minimum (i.e. single comments at an image). Images that are from modern NMS will be removed without warning.
Anything previous to Origins (3.0) is acceptable.
5 hearts will give images an entry in #the-louvre and also our Twitter page!

[mighty venture]

The new assets in Origins did help with variety to an extent, but compared to what we saw in pre-release……. They put in the effort to make those worlds, why couldn’t they just put them in?

Oop oke

[outer arrow]

Yep

[outer arrow]

The majority of players begged for lush worlds and mULtIplaYer, modern nms is the result

[mighty venture]

Still makes no sense they removed stuff for lush worlds if people wanted them

[wild lodge]

@outer arrow @mighty venture I tried subtle <#legacy-screenshots message>.That didn't work. No extended conversations here please.

[cyan folio]

so I have a few 2018 screenshots to post... do those qualify as legacy?

[night hull]

So many lovely shots, Dane! For future reference, if you'd like multiple shots having a chance of being featured in #the-louvre and our Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/NMSCord), you can upload the images individually, so ppl can heart/vote each separately. Also, if you're on Twitter and would like us to tag your handle there, try !MyAccount your_twitter_url in #bot-spam

@frosty helm This is for legacy shots (Pre-Origins), you want #nms-photomode-gallery

[frosty helm]

yeah its a version my friend sent

[royal flame]

Found this one in my screenshot archive from 2016

[royal flame]

Haha, remember veins that were hills instead of in the ground? 😆

[mossy vortex]

Thats not a vein thats a pacman ghost

[royal flame]

I did enjoy making them into little ghosts before I finally cleared them out

[nova junco]

this is what i want. Planets with atmospheres yet no life.

[gleaming wharf]

yeah desert planets nowadays are almost always surprisingly full of life

[floral pewter]

Lol that hill has eyes

[short sapphire]

Some 2017 UI

More 2017

[royal flame]

I always loved this old one, but before photo mode, so it has all those markers on there. 🤮

[wild lodge]

@tribal vale This is for shots from before Origins 😦 (just missed #nms-photomode-gallery)

[tribal vale]

OOPS! You are right. That was a missclick by me! 🙏

[low jacinth]

#nms-photomode-gallery

[wild lodge]

This is for pre-origins, you just missed #nms-photomode-gallery @mighty venture

[mighty venture]

sorry for not reading before posting>.<

[dire mantle]

I found one a bit smaller than that in the current version a couple days ago! A few are still around, hiding from us lol

Beaky

[mighty venture]

You should bring this animal to a later update to see if it still looks the same

[wild lodge]

That is likely extinct on that planet, or the planet itself no longer there or different. That said, those parts are still in game so that sort of creature can still be found.

[dire mantle]

That was the launch version so there's been a few galaxy resets since then

[mighty venture]

aye, I completely forgot that pets were not a thing back then. wonder if the animals ID would result in the same animal in current updates.

[copper pine]

(AR) some dead planets used to have atmosphere

(AR) a monument me and someone called koen back in AR, on a peak of a nearby mountain from my home

[copper pine]

@pure python just letting you know, this channel meant for pre-frontier screenshot

[wild lodge]

This channel is for pre origins shots @mighty venture

So good job

[mighty venture]

🙏
Genuinely thought I made a mistake seeing you ping me here.

[rain berry]

Taken about 2 or 3 days after launch on the first planet (Renamed from original), I had no idea what it was, as it was completely non functional. As you can see the cluttered Map, was always fun trying to get rid of them.

[harsh light]

wow

[spark jolt]

thinking about how the old traveler npcs used to have drip

[mighty venture]

Traveler crew?

[spark jolt]

sometimes travelers spawn in place of freighter crew

happened back then still happens now occasionally

[mighty venture]

Thats amazing, never seen that before.

[mighty venture]

Probably my oldest photo. It’s apparent why I took a screenshot. This was way back in the beginning. Something about the older versions strike me as more intriguing versus now which I don’t understand since there’s so much to see now.

[lofty kayak]

It’s based off chance as travelers could randomly replace any npc in stations or on freighters

I don’t know if it still happens anymore

[floral adder]

[lost lantern]

I preferred the legacy water

[prisma willow]

I prefer Next’s water when it wasn’t broken

Now (pre-release) water is perfection

(pre-release)

[night hull]

Btw, is this your screenshot or HG stock screenies like the other ones? And which aspect of it is it that you're referring to as "broken"? The shoreline water effect?

[mighty venture]

That little effect when you enter water now, where it recedes and ruins the water effect and generation (hope they fix that with WHALE update)
Anyway that’s my only contribution cause this is screenshot channel

[prisma willow]

I tried labeling it (pre-release) so people could make that distinction.

The ones that are not labeled are my own.

[sharp hamlet]

Why do legacy screenshots seem more beautiful than modern ones?

[night hull]

pretty relative tbh. just like art

[pale beacon]

Just like art ❤️❤️🎨👌

[prisma willow]

I think there was certainly more consistency in older versions. Now you’ll often visit a planet that has some stylized looking cacti for instance, but surrounding that will be a bunch of hyperrealistic looking rocks which is visually inconsistent, it seems Hello Games are unable to make a full transition in either direction, so it leaves the game looking a bit all over the place at times.

[sharp hamlet]

Do you know what main hangers they made? It just seems like there’s more beautiful and/or blended color palettes back then whereas now it’s mostly all one color per area.

It might get fixed in the future.

The timing, the pre-next plants, and the short grass basically guarantee Atlas Rises, like you said 🙂

So how do you post pictures here? I still have the very first one I took on Launch Day

[mossy vortex]

You might need the first rank to post here, but otherwise it's the same as any other image drop in discord

[mighty venture]

Found this on my USB of a pure silver A class fighter I found back on either Foundations or Pathfinder. Never found one like it since 💔
