So, what do you think the
emoji from yesterday means?
I think it means âdecayâ⊠multitools and spaceships are going to require repairs, weeee
Or the travellers will start aging.
After the garbage collection, NMS will invite the players to the green areas maintenance.
For each garbage collected, a tree will be replanted on a âterraformation disasterâ type planet
In my humble opinion: seasons, climates, or ecology. Perhaps the mission will be to save an ecosystem from an invasion of parasites, or to recover one following a climate catastrophe. Maybe terraforming hostile planets.
With a flower that droops like that, it can mean only one thingâŠ
I think itâs the big Droopy update the Dataminers have been finding code for for years!!
No Mans Sky X Droopy!
In truth I havenât given it much more thought since yesterdays initial musings.
Only two more sleeps and an exciting wednesday morning of pressing refresh until we find out! Thatâs nothing!
That may be closer to the mark if this is a Halloween oriented update.
Thereâs a famous game that already features withering roses and a creature called The Wither⊠both introduced in a Halloween update.
Whoâs up for a crossover?
I saw Mr. Zine @TomAcreon mention âThe Witheredâ and I thought that fit pretty nicely too.
As for the contentâŠ
A super out there, highly unlikely tie-in could be introducing seasons to planets?
I imagine that would give players another reason to really stick around longer to explore the variety of flora/fauna that come and go with each passing season (maybe a season lasts 90 in-game days).
We getting No Star Manâs Dew Valley Sky?
Havenât HG referred to expeditions as seasons? Maybe weâre finally getting regularly scheduled expedition rerunsâŠ
Reflecting on the dying rose emoji and considering the time of year, the new update might have something to do with the veneration of the dead. This could involve new âtemples of remembranceâ for various speciesâor structures with similar functionsâthe ability to build such a site using specific constructible elements, or perhaps the option to create a âtalking grave,â much like the one belonging to a Traveler. Or, it could be something like Artemisâs holographic projection, serving as a memorial for a lost loved one. Mourning and the veneration of the deadâseen in traditions like DĂa de los Muertos, Is Animeddas in Sardinia, or Halloweenâare ways for civilizations to remember and find meaning in death. Perhaps handled in a way that isnât overly somber.
Canât be an expedition, though, right? The old one hasnât finished. I still need to get the last milestone doneâŠ![]()
I believe we are expecting an expedition on Wednesday so you better get a move on! Kick it into high gear!
And @kyle-culver gives the best guess
Maybe instead of âwitherâ its âwutherâ like âWuthering Heightsâ ![]()
Or maybe its about the pedals, maybe âPeddlersâ. Be able to sell goods from ships? ![]()
As in, Titan awakes
, Titan arose
/
from his bed� What will be part 3 of the trilogy, Titan Yawns? ![]()
Iâm also expecting something halloweenish.
(Some sort of Terraforming would be fun, too, I like that in other games as well, it makes progress visible. But not sure how that meshes with proc gen. Unless the Expedition dimension has artificially dead planets, and we restore them to their healthy proc gen self.)
Was going to post something similar yesterday, but I had like 3 drafts for the forums going and didnât end up posting anything. ![]()
Glad Iâm not the only one who was thinking of this word. Not the same exact prediction as Kyle, but I do remember the first Waking Titan puzzle had the word âaroseâ in it. It was a modified quote from the poem âHyperionâ by Keats.
He arose, and on the stars
Lifted his curved lids, and kept them wide.
Expedition 23 finished with us going âto the starsâ for the last milestone.
Here is what I was playing with yesterday. Pretty sure I got the wording right. So if we are looking at the history and proper grammar:
Present Tense: Atlas Rises
Past Tense: Atlas Rose ![]()
Present Perfect: Atlas Has Risen
Dammit, will be home late today, gonna be tight⊠Itâs really only that last one remaining, would be infuriating if Iâd miss it just because I was sensible yesterday and sent myself to bed because I knew I would miss the ensuing 15 minutes or so if I tried to get it then⊠![]()
