Just tried boat instead of space whale for king of ocean … Interesting…

It seems likely, I guess. What strikes me as odd is that I have hardly heard about other players actually having received any of those messages. Not even sure if FEB in the IDs naming actually means February, or possibly something else, even though it appears most obvious. It would however explain the amount of time between receiving messages as stated in the Reddit post. Something is clearly meant to be happening, but I sadly do not see much real world evidence of it.

I think we’ve got the right place now.
It doesn’t do any harm to search further, but…

ERROR? I believe I tried the same. Forgot to mention it here
Edit: Hmmm, I must have been wrong, or mixed up my notes. It now shows a working address.

No error, spawning on an anomaly planet. One water planet in the system, with albumen pearls at its North.

I narrowed down my hunches for the portal address to:
50B4 026B A953
50B4 026B C953
50B4 02DB C953
50B4 02DB A953
The first three were “corrupted” addresses (possibly due to the system not having a 5th planet as suggested by the first glyph). The only valid sequence of the four is the last one.
For that system, I checked out all five planets and found nothing at the north poles, but HG has the ability to turn on special features for the weekend event so they could do the same here when they are ready.

Ah, there you are 
Did you by any chance get any of the messages on your ships com?

That and the numbers in the files have so far been sequence numbers, not dates. This looks like Feb_1 but could be “February Campaign message one” or have nothing to do with dates like maybe “Favorite Extraterrestrial Beast message one” (Yes, I’m still hoping for space whales 
)

Why is ‘water’ important?
And, is +90, +0 the North pole?

Water is important because the mined data says so:
UI_ENTRY_FEB_14
<IMG>SLASH<> FIND US <IMG>SLASH<>
FIND US ON THE LONELY ORB OF WATER…
FIND US WHERE NORTH REACHES ITS PEAK…
FIND US WHERE THE EGGS GROW UNLOVED…
SLASH<> FIND US SLASH<>
“where the north reaches its peak” seems to be a reference to the north pole. You find the north pole on a planet by flying north until the compass flips and points south. That point is the north pole.

Thank you very much! I understand about the ‘water’ now.
Still feeling a bit dim over the coordinates.
Is this the North pole?
Even though it shows in Discoveries as this?

I don’t know. I’m not sure the planetary coordinate system is actually connected to the compass - it’s not something I’ve ever tried.
In any case, the clues we’ve been given don’t mention any coordinates. Just “north”. For myself, I will be relying on the compass to tell me where that is.

The coordinates do seem to be attached to the compasses magnetic north. At least on the ones I’ve checked. But magnetic north on a planet is not the same as the poles that the star spins around. If you go to the pole you will see the sun/star stay on the horizon all through the day. Before we had the compass if you walked toward and away from the light, you would go from night to day and through sunrise and setting in a matter of feet, now we stay in sunset colors . You can watch the clock in your scanner change as you walk around the poll though.

lattitude of 90 degrees should be the north pole, if the coordinate system is the same as earths, yes. I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t be.

Found this:
It looks like I should be looking for +0, +90.
Didn’t do me any good. The first coord goes from -90 to 0 +90. Second coord goes from -180 to 0 to +180. When I go to (+90, +0) and turn all the way around, I don’t see N in the HUD - only S (and only in one direction). Doesn’t that mean I’m at the North Pole? But Discoveries still shows me at the bottom of the planet.

There’s a lot of “should”, “shouldn’t”, and “if”, in there. I would still stick to the compass.

Glyph 0 and 1 still both send you to the first planet, so the balloon glyph sends us to the fifth planet. Fortunately, Next fixed the other Atlas Rises bug where the last planet in a system was unportalable.
Been following this since y’all first started talking about it. Getting minor W.T. vibes. Also getting a kick out of how quickly folks dived into the code source for clues! Given the “HelloGamesP” PS4 discovery above, I’m surprised the PC system was undiscovered. I checked out the planet shortly after @Polyphemus posted, and now I gotta be careful not to bulk upload my discoveries. 
Pretty planet, the bright blues remind me of older NMS versions. Did quick fly-bys of the other planets too. Doh!, @DevilinPixy’s screenshot just reminded me that I forgot to drop a comm ball next to Poly’s on my way out.

I dropped a comm station at the northern pole (navigated using in-game compass) on PC a few hours ago. It’s at the exact point where the north marker starts directing in circles.

Just visited, PC Normal. Now shows Waldo as discoverer.

Polyphemus is on PS4 if I’m not mistaken
