No Man’s Sky—Game Details & Investigations: Portals/Seeds, Atlas/Loop16/Emily, Atlas Foundation/Tech, OldGods & More

The bug continued to work indefinitely, but the poster said the planets in the system he kept getting warped to were identical in every galaxy after 256; making it seem as though the galaxies after that are just copies of each other with different names.

I found the post: https://redd.it/65spiy
You have to read it all to see where he eventually posted that he realized the galaxies were identical.

Just keeping the doors open. This ARG has proven very cryptic.
One finds, it’s really hard to know what soon becomes related.

Very interesting stuff, guys!!! ∞

That is a very good question.

So it was a ‘bug’. Thanks @MacForADay and @FrankPoole.

I guess this means No Man’s Sky is… truly… I n f i n i t e !

(so it seems :wink: …wow)

Perhaps this would be a good time to stop and re-watch a specific video…

I’ve updated the title of this topic…

To include… Atlas, Atlas Seeds, Procgen, Waking Titan, Galaxies, and more.

‘Portal’ conversation started with ‘Monoliths’, quickly adding ‘Ruins’…
But then a thorough discussion came to encompass so much more.

See original portal question above. :rocket:

I hope you share your experience once the portal update comes. :selfie:

Sounds fun!

Super creepy though that a Bugged universe has a veyr lovecraftian name :slight_smile: People like to point out all the things in our own universe that proves it was designed by some omnipresent being, but you can do the same thing with NMS’s procedural generation going off coincidences liek that, but when it comes to NMS we can guarantee it is designed by god like men in guilford haha.

It’s definitely a bug anyway, considering how NMS generates its 18 quintillion planets, 256 makes perfect sense with regards to generating them all on a 64bit processor . Things like the negative galaxies and the bugged galaxies confuse me but the fact theyre buggy and/or identical makes sense.

If one takes the time to Google fu every name they come across, the procgen table begins to show just how amazing it really is. Words from every language, including the three in game, are mingled in the middle quite often. Some titles to locations are baked obviously, major minor plains hills ashes memories etc.

According to the Law of Truly Big Numbers: Given a large enough data set, any coincidence, no matter how unlikely, has a 100% chance to occur.

Also, they input syllables from many languages for their name proc gen.

Elapse in Time

So… 1 1/2 weeks just slipped by.

I’ve been AFK and unable to login; But utilized mobile.
And thus simply kept up unanimously.

Being a writer, my brain is swelling, and it’s time for a MEGA-PERGE!

Fasten your seatbelts, cause it’s gonna be a wild ride :rocket:

I’ve again altered the title of this topic…
Now from centering around Portals, to instead
Focusing on the entirety of everything No Man’s Sky! …enjoy.

The Earth’s precise placement. Not too close, or far from the sun.
The axis tilt… Four Seasons. The moon’s magnetic pull… Ocean Tides.

Gravity, ozone, oxygen, air, water… The delicate balance of the ecosystems… Earth even resides in the ‘habitable zone’ of our galaxy; etc… The ‘coincidences’ certainly are plenty!

There are things beyond comprehension; Others that are not things.

Back to the game; and metagames…
NMS and WT/Cassette ARG

And then there is this potentially bigger picture…

Escaping the Loop

The NMS comm station read…
“LOOP16 UNEXPECTED ERROR”

Also, the 16 cassettes sent to Reddit mods, said ‘portal’.
“16” has also surfaced on other occasions.

Yet we still don’t know what this “loop” could be. If there even is one.
Perhaps this means nothing?

What could this mean?

Something revealed later, in a developing story/lore?
An eventual message in all 16 cassettes? …Perhaps.

256th galaxy repeat? …No, because now we know there’s appearently 257+ galaxies (as mentioned above; and on Reddit).

…And so it is that the mind can only sit and ponder.

“LOOP16 UNEXPECTED ERROR: 97C-303N-5884-P”

Could the above ‘number configuration’ mean something more?

Another view… ‘xxx-xxxx-xxxx-x’ …if it helps.

What are all the NMS potentials “LOOP16” could stand for?
…And why “unexpected error”?

Just ensuring all the questions are thrown out there, lol.
After all, this was our 1st WT ARG connection with NMS ARG.

The comm station was found in NMS; and there were 16 cassettes sent from HG.
As we know, Hello Games is the developer of No Man’s Sky.

Further, “LOOP16” has just resurfaced on Atlas-65.com.
See… Citizen Science Division

This reinforces that “loop16” is a very valid subject.
