Are you clicking on the text that says 100%?

Yeah, would really love to fully examine those displays and readouts and interact with them on some level. Also don't like how restricted your view is most of the time, and especially when landed or boosting/pulsing/warping.

This is the closest I've found so far. This was one of the planets in the system that had my final Atlas Station. I loved it here, and the screenshots don't really do it justice. Funny how the rare item in such a beautiful place, though, was sac venom. Gross balls of poison every 10 feet.

The distress signal is typically either a crashed ship or an abandoned building of some kind, at least from what I've seen. Also, the spot it's directing you to could be on the other side of the planet, but it's pointing you to the quickest "route" i.e. implying you'd need to blast a hole through the planet to the other side. It happened to me twice before. I just boosted to orbit and flew to the other side and found what it wanted me to find.

I noticed that thing looks grayed out even when it's 100%.

It's weird, but for those planets where there's 0 life, you have to hover over the greyed out button and HOLD X instead of square.
yeah. been online for like an hour overall.

I actually had online connectivity for a few minutes during the first couple of days but since then it's always offline.

I don't know when I was last online.
The game's online service always seems to be down for me.

Is "Hide Discovery" broken for anyone else? I try to hide some of the systems discovered by other players by selecting "Hide Discovery," but then they are still in my list.
I was online for the first couple hours on launch day and never since.
It was online for me on Sunday too, but yeah, i checked yesterday and it was offline again

Just got into a dogfight with the sentinels I could handle so I escaped into a black hole. Perfect.
Edit: Broken Warp Reactor Theta.... not perfect.

Update seems pretty great. I hope they can set that as a standard with how they'll improve this game as time goes on.

I haven't seen iridium that looks like that, but I've seen gold that did.

Mind ultra-blown. So many hidden tricks to avoid the grinding. OMG.

Damn. That's beautiful.
I found a planet last night with 2. 3. and 4. It had a lot of rain storms aswell. It was funny, the temp was 0.0 celsius when everything was calm, but it looked tropical. When it was storming it was -89 and the temp in the water was -29 celsius. It didn't look like a cold place but I guess it was

Fairly. I see the "space crystals" frequently in orbit.

Alright, had my fill of blue systems for now. Onto green, since you guys are saying they're weird.

I mean, it's convenient, but most of the elements you'll get from dismantling the ship upgrades are pretty common. I guess maybe a bit of Iridium and Chrysonite would be nice if there are good upgrades on the ship, as those are at less common and harder to track down.
Good trick if you're in a bind though.

I managed to complete the Atlas Path today, but since doing so I feel my interest in the game has taken a nose dive. It felt kinda lacklustre, and I feel a bit put off grinding to get to the centre.
Can someone you has gotten to the centre tell me the game opens up or gets more interesting?

Is there any clear information on the galaxy map and the color of the stars you see around you? Yellow is the only color you can go on at first right? Do the upgraded warp drives pertain to different colored stars you can go to or is it just based on distance?
I upgraded to a Sigma Warp and I think I could then go on a red star but can't remember. I then upgraded to a Tau Warp and I could then go on red, green and blue I think, so is it just distance based or am I missing something? The star colors confuse me.

Thank you for this!
Went to my first
Atlas interface (damn cool looking), turned tail and made one hop toward the center, and there were Nada and Polo just chilling.
I believe the flag to indicate that you will see them (for the first time) on your next jump is the message:
"Your Destiny lies in the beyond.
This was the last puzzle piece I needed to write up a little mini guide on the AtlasPass. Now I'm properly spacefaring on both characters. Feels goooood.
Think I'll take a break, grab some lunch, type up that guide and then hightail it back to my starter system and explore it to my heart's content.
Nope, you definitely need certain drives to access certain systems. The first letter in a system designation is its spectral class (F, O, M, K, etc.) and these seem to designate some common qualities between like systems. People are compiling info on this stuff now. Yellow stars (think this is only class E and F systems) are definitely the most common and the game's provided path toward the center seems to only take you through these systems.
From what I understand, it's possible to finish the Atlas path (and other paths) without actually seeing more of the interesting types of planets and systems.

Not sure how true that is, but it does make me interested to travel more off the beaten path.
Game is still making me a little sick each time I play. Hopefully they can implement an FOV slider for consoles down the road.
I also found the most beautifully planet. No environmental hazards and there's green grass everywhere. If the base building stuff was out I'd totally just set up camp here for a good long while.

People talks about The Atlas Path and other stuff, a friend of mine got to an Atlas station in his second system, and found an Anomaly in his third. Another friend jumped through a black hole. I'm 5 systems in with 40hs of game time (yes, I explore and do a lot of stuff) and have yet to find a lame Atlas Pass let alone any of the stuff I mentioned. The only out of place I've done so far is battling against 15 starships trying (and succeeding) to save a freighter.
Should I be patient and things will eventually show up, or I'm lacking something? I'm having a good time but keep waiting to special things that exist in the game to appear in mine.
(oh and so far I've been in only one moon with threatening sentinels and it's the only thing that counted in favour of the extreme survival achievement... at last).
Maybe I should start avoiding that path then...

I made millions upon millions on a planet exactly like that in no time, and died many times too. Sentinels really REALLY don't like you harvesting those lol
Er, well did you choose the atlas path or not?
Hmmm. I mean if you haven't seen

I don't know... I didn't choose anything at any moment, I just accepted Atlas guidance at the start of the game, does that counts?

Did anyone find some of those "significant events" that are supposed to be shared with other players?

Two more trophies away from that Platinum! Just warp jumps and that will come normally with progression. The Extreme Survival one was the worst.

Looks like No Man's Sky is the new Star Wars Battlefront for GAF. Expect to see a lot of hate threads for half a year.

Lol, same thing happened to me. I accepted Atlas at the start, started doing what it told me but somehow somewhere things just stopped. I swear I picked up an Atlas Stone too but now it's nowhere to be found and I never sold it. Not really sure what happened.
I found if you aggro'ed one of the flying robots, then ran around picking them up, the tougher sentinels wouldn't spawn unless you let the bar fill up on them before killing.
I made quite a bit from a similar planet, but eventually got bored after a while and went back to exploring.

I've seen stores selling those but I didn't buy anything seems it doesn't have a use to me right now... :/
And Destiny lol
I have a couple of questions about Atlas Path:
1. Anomaly - I know it's RNG. I have collected 5 Atlas Stones so far (so basically I'm in my 5th warp and 5th system. But, several times when I opened the galactic map, an icon "Anomaly detected" popped up. I couldn't figure out if it was somewhere on that map, but when I close the map and scan with L3, nothing shows up.
What am I doing wrong?
2. When I arrive at Atlas station, and talk to the pyramid, it says "Accept (xy rank)". Does this mean that I will eventually have to rank up or get locked out of progressing. I am currently Galileo, but have done all the milestones through regular play. I'd really hate to be forced to stay on extreme planets or to fight pirates.

Pointless. If people want to get so badly burned on a game because they can't control their own hype, that is their problem.

I really don't get it. Many of the things people claim aren't in the game have pictures of them in the photo thread! It's just a video game but some people seem to have completely lost their minds.
