How do you get the Atlas Pass1 ? Read online that get one at an anomaly system, all I got was an Atlas Stone. I think I watched a video before the game came out on PC where the guy did the same thing and got an Atlas Pass, not sure though. The stuff I read online is wrong since I got a stone instead. Right now i don't have clue.

I saw a reddit post once in which a guy explained how to get one:


Look for a "signal scanner", the antenna-looking things that have an orange beam coming out of them

Then, while you have to select a location, choose "Colonial Outposts". Repeat the process a few times (5-6 times)


That's pretty much all the guy said. Good luck finding those passes!

I got my first one from anomaly - from Polo I think. It's not the same thing as Atlas Interface though!

Atlas stones you get at atlas station's.
The pass you get at a station called spacial anomaly. I got mine on the first of these I found. They seem to appear every half dozen jumps or so. There is two aliens inside one gives you a blueprint dependent on one of your achievement levels the other gives you a choice of some resources, resetting the atlas waypoint, and setting a waypoint to a black hole.
There is also a locker with a new multitool for purchase.
They are usually worth a short stop.

With "enough" warps (took three warps for me), you will find an Atlas Interface.
That is where you get your Atlas Stone.

During the next couple of warps after that, you will find the Space Anomaly, the place where you get the Atlas Pass.

Nada and Polo (Korvax and Gek) will be in every Space Anomaly (never met other aliens) in each Space Anomaly, and if you look at the few "dialog lines", they seem to be watching you and how you perform.

Personally I found the Atlas Pass overrated. The tool I found inside the Space Anomaly could not beat the one that I owned at that time (updates, many of them).
The additonal doors that the pass opened - well, just some plants and small amounts of stuff, nothing special so far.

It usually has one slot more than yours. The upgrades are random but you want to disassemble them anyway to reorder for adjacency bonus. At least once you have the blueprints

Main thing is an exosuit upgrade on every station.
Also the warp fuel components in the atlas containers are nice if you do not have all the blueprints yet. After that they become way less useful.

If you go to an atlas station does the atlas stone still cost money or is it given to you?

It's free. You also get some words and a random blueprint also free.
