I’ve been able to make the following stones, it was a distraction from hunting the fifth portal symbol .
I’m going to jump to the Sixth symbol and come back to the other one, spent a day and a half and got nowhere .

Walked in on my housemate playing his version of the simulation, he had all the seeds in stacks of five “just in case”. I told him he wouldnt need more than one of each, but he said “well, ill keep em anyway… you never know” haha.
I still see those red atlas stones too, not sure if just ghosts in the machine or if they’ll serve a different purpose down the line.
One thing I used to get a lot of when 1.3 first launched, was defence chips (chits?). I used to get them randomly from NPC dialogue or as mission rewards. Now I rarely see them since 1.32, occasionally a trader might have some or a space station/trading terminal.
Was thinking, they need an attack chip/chit (cant remember, is it chip or chit?!) so you can call in pirate reinforcements, would encourage more people to go the freighter attacking piracy route in the game I think, attacking them solo would be intimidating.
While on the subject, now that I think of it. Since freighters were introduced, I’ve noticed that your own freighter has its own stocked valuables on the outside… I’ve always been too afraid to try but what happenes if you attack your own freighters storage compartments?!

Be thinking of you, enjoy the work out.

Has anybody had issues with comm-balls disappearing?
I tried 3 times to place a comm and when I walked away it was gone?

The only thing I can suggest is that you can only have one per planet. But that generally means only the last one you placed will survive.
In the past, I have tried leaving a trail of Com Balls - to find that I was left with only the last one.
If that’s not your problem, I can’t help.

I was aware of the one comm per planet deal.
This was just a single comm.
Put it down, record my message, move away, gone…?
Odd.

Ah. It may be that it’s still there - but you can’t see it. It’s not intended for you - it’s for others.
You could try placing a beacon, so you can accurately find the location. Then leaving the planet (possibly the system), and coming back.
I have a Comm Ball at my base that I can’t see. I can see the message, but not the ball. Other people have left balls, and I can see both the balls and the messages.
This conversation is degenerating. “I can’t see my own balls?”

The game doesn’t mark your own comm balls. I noticed this the other day visiting player bases. They are still there.

I am not sure if I want to jump into this conversation or not 
but, my com ball sometimes duplicates itself and positions itself on top of the original one.

I’ve had that one too.
It’s disappearing balls, dual balls, missing balls, stacked balls, sentinels that get angry if you touch their (gravatino) balls, balls in annoying places, confusing balls… it just goes on & on!!
There is so much joke material in there that would surely get me flagged so I’m letting it go.
I’m letting go of the balls 
…discussion.

This appears to be an issue that has been reported even prior to Atlas Rises and still exists. Another bug that needs fixing. Best to place one, create a save and restart the game to make sure it’s there. If it disappeared, place a new one, rinse repeat until it remains visible for you.

Just to try and get this back on track, I think I’ve stuffed up I’m trying to do the portal Glyphs trip and the first 4 easy, the fifth one no chance, can not find a traveller to save myself, so I thought I’d move to the sixth one , bombed out again, I find portals , but not travellers again, I’ve looked in every outhouse, henhouse, shed, bed and walk-in closet I can find, nothing . I’m more frustrated then a one armed wallpaper hanger with crabs.
My two options :-
1/ keep searching like a blind man in a 100 and 1000 factory .
or
2/ do I quit for a few days, go home and make a shipload of living glass / glass and buy a freighter and travel ?
Oh wise men of this group, your wisdom I need.
Ps - once one learns all they need from the guys back at home base do they need to be kept or can I get rid of them.
Thanks in advance.
