Hi, guys! Thanks for caring so much of this stranded traveler! Everything _important_ was on Unix machines and properly backed up; I had no clue that NMS saves would prove to be of this importance to me xD -- so much grinding involved in getting started! But now that I have a hyperdrive, maybe I can speed things up a bit with your treasured help. :)

NEW UPDATE!!!

https://www.nomanssky.com/expeditions-update/

Is it up yet for GOG users tho? When I start the game, I get the "you have lost connection to online discovery services nms" thing and can't play online as of 12 EDT

Not yet! :(

Fellow GoGers? Want to do an expedition together? Maybe this weekend? There's already a patch on the experimental branch!

If you are interested, please state what time you are available, and include your time zone since we are all over the world.


Your loving Ambassador;
-John

Interested, yes. But I doubt I find any time this weekend :(
In my rare NMS time, I have started another base project. Cloud City add a base high above ground on Athos in GoG-93.

Wow!

Jents; I can meet you at a planet if you can give me glyphs. Then I can give you any resources you need.

Please let me know.
-John

Happy Holidays! --> see screenie :D

I've had a blast of fun with all the new things to play with, like, an animal companion behaving like a two-ton dog (that's metric tons!) which, when in "playful" or "mischievous" mode, may catapult my little gek like 50 metres into the air or so while grunting something like "{{see my suit-walker? -- best suit-walker ever!}}"

xD

Ahoi!

Wow, did I miss that someone had stolen the name of our holy main system GoG/87? Or did just one of you misplace it?

Sounds like wonderful nonsense fun :)

Can you just take these animals with you? Or can they be relocated to other planets, for example? Probably not. But maybe build a zoo?

They are like Tamagochies that one summons like exocrafts. No zoo, though. I summon one, the current one vanishes into thin air.

They can be summoned on every planet and in the anomaly, but not in space stations and freighters.
And the companion you summoned follows you. The game seems to enables companions to "teleport" on the planet surface and in caves, if they are stuck or fall behind too far.
Riding your companion is another interesting way of transport. Not sure if all companions have the ability, but the one attached can jump quite fast and high and I can ride it up very steep mountains where walking and jumping was impossible and even the backback rockets were not sufficient.

Companions can hatch eggs but only on plant with compatible climate to their homme planet.

The expedition update introduced a cross-platform name database. It seems someone playing on a console was faster and we indeed lost the Gog-87 name. But Gogus Prime and the other planet names are still there.

Hi everyone!

Captain Steve has posted a YT video of a "nanite farm" where one can feed the robots and then get Chewy Wires from them to process into nanites.

I have a base there and am finding it very profitable! Come see my base and build somewhere on this world.
