📝 If you look out your window [System Coordinates in Prime Responses]

[Rinha]

Perhaps System will say, “Your origin does not define you”?

[Cattivision]

Could they be being assigned in the order we were allocated our windows?

[toddumptious]

There doesn’t seem to be any noticeable pattern to the order they’ve been assigned yet.

It isn’t in the order people were assigned their primes, othwerwise YBM would have been first, and it doesn’t seem to be related in any way to participation or interaction as a lot of unknown lurkers were assigned prime coordinates long before recognisable daily participants with the ARG were.

It also doesn’t seem to be in order of prime number either.

The one thing I did notice is, those who are anagram Prime neighbours, generally got given their prime coordinates at the same time or in a close time frame , e.g Ekimo and Sheral both got their coordinates at the same time.

The sheets are currently private but I believe bomberboi and vector have been meticulously keeping note of the order that people were given their prime coordinates.

@Rinha has also begun plotting peoples coordinates and there doesn’t seem to be any discernable pattern or placement to our locations within the galaxy.

However there may be a method to how they are assigning our Hex coordinates, as some have come out a bit odd, perhaps they are using some sort of input related to each person (like our prime) that then proc-gens the coordinates but isn’t 100% free from error.

For example someone got a hex address for a System that isn’t reachable by vanilla methods, and Cattivision got a reachable system address but the first numeral was higher than the total number of planets within that system so they got approximated to a planet within that system.

Maybe they have a new calculator that gives out coordinates when you input a prime We got two calendar based puzzles, why not a second calculator based one? They do love to torture us with the past

Thanks so much! I read this post this morning - with a long day of flights and work ahead of me. I’ve been sweating loads thinking some ne’re-do-well might steal my system!!

Got back a short while back and it turns out I have a Shadow-System, and used the Service-Bot to pop over!

A lovely collection of Radioactive, Frozen, Sporal and Hot worlds to explore - but that will be tomorrow as I’m bushed!

[Mafi-143]

We’ll get ours eventually, I am sure! And if not, we can find a two-planet system and build our own TOWER there

[G_fudi]

Got my coordinates at like 1AM, so I only had a few minutes to poke my head in early this morning before work
Must say, I’m happy with the star I’ve been assigned.

And a Xeno-Colony Moon?! I am blessed by the Veins of The Atlas

Edit:

Lutim XI

I have stepped through the portal onto a most fascinating moon. The grass here on Lutim XI is blue and bold, and hordes of bubbles rise rapidly from the ground. I have seen many ‘bubble worlds’ in my time, but none that move so swiftly as these. To make Lutim XI even better, it is an Infested Moon - one of great scientific, as well as spiritual value to certain…conclaves in the far reaches of the galaxy.

The mighty Veins of the Atlas; Its flesh becomes the sky. As it is written. The Indomitable Annelids burrow deep and soar high. This particular species of the Shaihuluda genus is classified as a ‘Fish Worm’ by xenobiologist experts. A great number of other interesting and beautiful fauna species call this planet home. The time for research and documentation has begun.

The Operator’s true purpose in these systems may be unknown, but I have found my own purpose in the meantime.

Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless the coming and going of him.
May his passage cleanse the world.
May He keep the world for His people.

@John D whoever you may be, you have a system, check in at the terminal

No window for me, I’m afraid.

[sheralmyst]

You did not get a Prime ID(window) or you have not received a System assignment?

[sheralmyst]

Oh look! I found friends in my system! There is something alive after all.

[Rinha]

OK, this is extremely rough because I’m not good at making things pretty…

I’ve managed to figure out how to do the scatter graph as an HTML page, and then throw that onto Github pages: https://rinhatayuun.github.io/prj_skyscraper/Systems_Graph.html

I have to manually update it, which involves extracting the assigned system info from the terminal, so it won’t be fast or automatic, but it might be fun to play with!

The MAIN FAM system is included for reference, but is probably not part of … whatever this window thing is.

[JustiFox]

cords lead here pretty Gool ^^

[johnnycloud]

@sheralymyst you made me chuckle reading your posts and @toddumptious nearly had me fall off my chair in fits of laughter when I read ‘that hell hole you found is actually Ekimos’. LOL

…Well you might think that a ‘hell hole’ but you ain’t seen nothin’ yet…

@ThatBomberBoi kindly tagged me in his post. Thank you! Have been a bit slow to post my finds because of IRL stuff. So off I went to check the Tower command and sure enough entering my prime System tantalisingly now wrote back:

johnnyintheclouds, right? Hope you have a nice view!
If you look out your window, you will see Honyevoi [310A83F892B6]

I really love these stormy wild systems. Bouncing about in an Exocar is a great way to explore in relative safety. To this day I still wonder in awe at how the mathematics create such a variety of landscapes. The team at HG are a clever bunch. More story and more planet pictures now inside the summary:

Summary

Honyevoi who is that? I mumbled to myself. Clearly they can’t spell Honeydew. A sign perhaps I should have heeded maybe as a warning. System, was about to have the last laugh. System seems to be rapidly evolving a personality with these ‘granted’ memories perhaps…memories of its own mingled with ours.

So off I went to find a Portal and travel to Honyevoi system. Excitedly I entered the glyphs, carefully one after the other. Stupidly I then double checked them and quit the Portal stone. Excitedly I began again, lol. Honeyvoi sounds so nice, forgetting the alien spelling in blind glee. Carefully one after the other I entered each glyph. Even more slowly this time, full of excitement. Woosh, I was hurtling through space and time muttering Arthur C. Clarkes ‘All these worlds are yours…’ Needing a glass of water I stepped away from the Portal while my atoms were being reassembled thousands of light years away by some ‘laughing entity’.

Beep beep. Momentary silence. Then thunder and howling. I sat down a blur grasping my glass and gulping water. I should have been drinking something stronger.

The other side of the portal was pure pandemonium. Razor sharp acidic squalls of light that could strip a man to the bone in a poisonous second.

But among the chaos the planetary horizon was astonishingly beautiful.

Reminding me of the very first planetary horizon I had seen of an alien world just hanging above the surface, waiting to be explored which became my first ever published screenshot of No Man’s Sky back in 2016:

An off world planet o be visited. Can I really do that? Did System know? They couldn’t? Thank goodness my new nano exposit that had cost billions was performing like the label crudely sewn into the hem said. Hand wash only after each use.

Did System know this empty abandoned ‘hellish toxic pandemonium’, the swirling chaos had a silver lining. This game. I just love the environments that the 1s and Zeros throw at us. This wildness. This madness. The irony. This game. It can be a thrill for all sorts of reasons. The distilled fun.

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. Especially not after my illustrated attempt at humour to prompt System, The Architect or Sheralmyst into helping me solve the riddle of connecting my Prime to a planet and assure me I wasn’t the ‘virus’. System clearly has an instinctive sense of humour too. Saw right through my deception. From who or where it gets that wit, I have no idea:? Perhaps from amusing memories evolving in real time? Amusing operators and there are many. Who knows? Perhaps only Systems creator or the architect knows that riddle.

For now though here’s a glimpse of my prime ‘hell hole’ which actually I think fantastic. I love the wildness in this game. It’s perhaps instinctive to explore beyond the safety we know, to see beauty in everything. To see and experience the contrast of unfamiliar horizons. Even without any sign of life anywhere the vistas and rugged terrain is super cool. Something this game does brilliantly.

I discovered there are a lot of flying type creatures in the system. Some anomalous and some winged. When I looked at the exploration Log Book for one random planet it mentioned this creature as ‘Always watching’

So named it, System-i (after eye and a famous piece of Apple technology). So if you see a pair, that’ll be System watching with dark glasses…

Necessity demanded a Space Station would be needed to reach the uninhabited system in the future . I found a Paradise system nearby, immediately of course .
There I can get luxury bottled water, rest and relaxation and repairs to my exosuit so I could return, build, take endless photos and puzzle over what System might be up to, connecting us to systems of our own.

Is System establishing new memories and relationships by connecting operators to Systems and other Primes? To what end? Why connect us to our specific systems? Are they really random? For good or ill? Does each portal address contain some pattern or puzzle to solve? Maybe those ‘hellish storms’ are hiding some dark secret.

Exosuit repaired. Again. I’m off to explore Honyevoi and be tossed about by System having a laugh. A new memory we won’t forget if I make it back alive and awake! : D

[citizenScientist]

Oh I have my Prime number, but no view for me. No fancy system to explore!

[citizenScientist]

Greetings, Program!

[William]

Welcome @ProfessorSaul !

Sorry to tell you 2001=3 x 23 x 29… not a prime… May be try another one? Or use the calculator?

[jedidia]

Has anyone drawn a plot of the system coordinates and checked if they form some kind of pattern or shape yet?

[jokarson]

It seems my system doesn’t exist. When I enter the glyphs, I get an “Atlas Transport Error.” I’ve tried three times, and each time it takes me to a different system, although they’re all close to each other.

[sheralmyst]

This has happened to a couple of people

[jokarson]

Should I ask the architect for a different system?
