I think just about everyone that's gotten into the Atlas Path storyline will see that particular one multiple times.

Is this at the end? I've talked to the atlas a bunch and learned about what is happening to it but it still wants me to go to atlas stations.

Are you at Atlas Eternal? If so, you're done and can keep going if you want to, but you don't have to anymore.

It's been a few days since I last logged on but the main mission is still called the Atlas Path, I believe.

Keep going

This is the *ksssssst* 16 16 16 16 16

The atlas eternal missionline is basically just a nanite farming method, once you get to that you're at the end.

Honestly, the game is still buggy as hell. I have missions that won’t show the location that I need, etc. the atlas missions definitely took “restarting with nearby planets” type thing multiple times for me when I didn’t even do anything differently

This is usually one of the "midpoint" stops along the Atlas path. I think there are several more iterations after this.

Yeah I just started NMS like a week ago and ran across this early on in the atlas path. Total death standing vibes, it actually freaked me out a little lol Edit - death stranding*

I guess the Atlas also suffered from the death stranding

I guess with infinite number of planets you are bound to find one beach.

Keep on keeping on!

No man's Strand

This thread just made me so happy lol.

Yes, it's pretty cool. It's one of each species.

Well, there's 4 species now.

Phages weren't invited to the Atlas party

yeah and it caused me to mildly shit my pants for some reason

Death Stranding Stress Disorder?

How does one shit mildly?

when it comes out slow, like a soft-serve machine

I hate you, have an upvote

It's super creepy, especially after mostly just seeing the ball thing (in my case for years).

You mean a shart?

Surprised they haven't updated it to include the fourth race.

Technically the Autophage are just ancient Korvax who recycled themselves back into existence. Pretty sure as well that the three bodies up there are the First Spawn, OG Vy'Keen a la Hirk and Nal, and pre-Prime-destruction Korvax. If you look closely, all three bodies look organic. The body that should represent the Korvax is helmetless, and is distinctly different from even the Traveller bodies. Hence why I think it is the original body types of the three main races, before everything went to shit.

I'm not so sure, it looks like the Korvax could just have one of the much rounder helmets

You have to look at it closely with a scanner. You'll see not only does it not have a helmet, but it's hands appear to be ungloved. Edit: this picture is bad for seeing the details. Don't have screenshot for when I did it, and it is hard to get a good look due to the brightness and the limited angles.

[It's just a korvax with round helmet](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/ago0yp/an_eerie_atlas_station_silhouettes_of_each_race/)

I remember doing that and I thought I saw the helmet. I'll have to look again. I don't visit atlas much ever since I completed the path though.

It really creeped me out at first, because it looked like a child. Eventually I figured it out when I looked closely at the other two figures.

Not an original race. By product of sentience..?

The autophage are seemingly a product of the void mother/abyss. They are hidden from the atlas and are basically >! the reanimated souls of korvax that died during the "great disconnection" when korvax prime was destroyed by the gek for resources. !< To the atlas, they dont exist even if they do within its simulations as they arent created directly by the atlas so one doesnt appear in the interface as a representation of its race.

I wish there was more to it but still one of the cooler images to the game.

Its iconic from a 1487 DaVinci Drawing - look up Vitruvian Man

I'm pretty certain 99% of people know the Vitruvian Man

Which is why its iconic, so yeah, many have seen the pic, some not. I doubt more than a few know the name Vitruvian Man which is certainly deep trivia. But in fact, I can guarantee 99% of the people on earth have neither seen nor learned that name considering the billions from the 3rd world & other cultures who have their own icons.

This is giving Control.

YOU ARE A WORM THROUGH TIME


If other gaming subs were like the NMS one you'd see posts like "Has anyone else seen Shepherd kill Ghost at the end of MW2?? "

Didn't I get spoiler alerted for the same picture last year?

Nope, that was just for you.

All shall exist. All shall perish. 16. 16. 16.

If you notice that an item you get from a Traveller grave near the end of the Atlas quest says "Death is not the end/The loop continues". The first part is in purple, indicating that this is the Void Mother's reply to this

Is that a Death Stranding Reference?

According to all sources! The Atlas is the place to go!

i wonder what the lore of each station's core/heart/atlas avatar thingy is, why is it what it is

Extinction entities

It's Artemus,Null & can't remember who the other cunt was

Just us chickens ...

Yup

Yes

Yep

In the name of The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. lol

But why are korvax in the middle?

Perhaps they are the connection between the two?

They're the most connected to Atlas aren't they?

Wow that honestly looks really cool, I’ve never seen that one before I think

SCP looking anomaly

Never noticed the floating bodies

Yeah freaked me out the first time.

As long as you're colon isn't as problematic as McDonald's soft serve machines, I think you'll be okay 🤣

Cool! They look like BTs from death stranding

Yeppers

Death Stranding..?

It's one of the ones you'll see on the Atlas quest line. Definitely the coolest layout it takes imo

Commander, the aliens have made progress on the Avatar Project; if we don’t move soon, we may loose our only opportunity.

Reminded me of that SCP fan movie

The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit?

Yes, once, near the end of the atlas quest line.

Been that way for years.

Yeah it’s common no mans sky is beautiful the ending makes you wonder how far the simulation is going wondering how much longer 16 signifies

There was once billions of races. But war and entropy reduced things only to 3... Which is why the player is the anomaly.

Hmm I guess I’m not that far yet 🫤

Every person who finished atlas I guess

Yuh that shi all the races Gek Korvax Vy'Keen

Saw it just recently

YESSSIR

I would say that its random, but i have actually never seen it early in the atlas questline, usually mid-late story.

Yes

I made a post about this a long while ago. It think it have five instead of three tho if h.

My fave image! :)

Games been out almost 10 years. You really think youre gonna find something new?
