Hey! First off, thank you so much for always sharing the icons from the newest updates, Dragonsire! They’re a goldmine of assets for a project I’m working on with a couple of others. I was curious if icons of the expedition language were in the game files or if they had been shared anywhere. I really wanted to use them in some graphics I’m working on.
Thanks for sharing your findings, everyone! I’ve been following these posts for a while and its always fascinating to read, even if I may not understand some of the more technical talk lmao.

Belated lurkery welcome and congratulations on your first post 
hopefully folk who know better can get back to you soon.
I was curious what you meant by this, do you mean the untranslated dialogue from the most recent expedition? Only the translated dialogue exists within the game files, the alien word system is actually somewhat randomised, so you can get different alien words showing up for the same localised word if I recall the findings from a few years back correctly.
Looking forward to hearing more about this project you’re working on. I’ve got stacks of curated Lore in Google docs if they are any use to you (colour formatting from game for words retained within)

Are you looking for a sheet of characters / a font for the NMS Alphabet we see on the expedition name patches? I’m pretty sure theres a square texture for all of those in the files, as well a font by AssistantNMS included on the translation site, so thats probably not it

Has anyone figured out how these are found yet? I spent a lot of time digging up dirt with no luck, have almost dug up every skull variant twice over at this stage.
5 is a number sometimes associated with QS tiers… They very well could end up being exactly that now that I think of it Putting the human tail bone behind QS does seem like something they’d do 
The upturned/downturned tails do show up sometimes on the Large Bird Display that you will find at a fossil collectors shop at a space station.

Not found through digging, which makes use of the Reward Table in which they are simply not listed. They do indeed exist however, as part of the new Fauna. The exhibits work in a somewhat similar way, so I can indeed see those having the parts present too. Could very well be reserved for future QS unlocks, which to me makes most sense unless we take bugs/mishaps into account
