Project skyscraper / no man's sky arg

Perhaps a mod can delete the post completely so it will not have a chance to further confuse problem solving.

Did I misunderstood the question? What did you want to know? :thinking: :sweat_smile:

mb I misread it, tyvm

I wouldn’t worry about it bud. First rule of brainstorming is that there is no such thing as a bad idea.

Hehe try the link project-skyscraper.com/wp-json, there is probably a lot of interesting things in here :grin: (there is a lot of infos and debug-nerd-stuff on the site, mostly the frontend, but maybe other useful things.)

Oh I can’t add a .txt file? I have now a 537Ko file with the raw data of the website :sweat_smile: , ready to be filtered for infos (for exemple, I think the website is on London timezone)

It has been thoroughly sifted through by multiple developers. 3(+?) of us have servers polling, monitoring, pulling and diffing the contents live.
We’ve also poked at other appropriate endpoints that are exposed publicly.

Oh, nice! I can try to find smth, what has already been found and what are you searching for?

In black and white, it looks like 10x10 things.

If this was a 10x10 frame sprite sheet (I’m using ImageMagick to splice and GIFify it) it would render as:

On the other hand, that doesn’t help us, just a random cool “TV” effect.

(I tried other numbers as well, 16x16, and variants with 5/10/20, they look rather more chaotic.) Unless someone suggests other pagination numbers, I won’t follow that route. I just enjoy creating GIFs. :wink:

There are handy FAQs and Primers posted with relevant links from chronological timelines to very helpful resource dumps.

These two sites are probably the most useful for where we’re at right now with everything

@KayrosSteelhand 's comment below:

This forum also uses a tag/category system, so if you need to quickly see the latest from all relative posts for the ARG, click the little grey box with project skyscraper next to it, underneath the current threads title, or you can just go here to see the category.

This is where you’ll find things like those easily, should any more appear :wink:

Happy hunting, detective!

Thank you so much! I was wondering where I could find things like these :sweat_smile:!

Also the thread “skyscraper haven map” has an auto updater anytime the website changes within 2 minutes of it changing. There will also be a public GitHub for anyone who wants to help out maintaining the tracking page

I think your GIF looks oddly reminiscent of this:

Damn for real… I wasn’t playing nms at the time of Waking Titan, but I read a lot about it afterward.

I saw that the Directory and Organization thread that the connect attempts locations weren’t solved?

I tried to do an ~triangulation (actually a triangle with a bit too much points :sweat_smile: - a “alotofangle”) between all the countries on the list, to get a really approximative location, but it turned out into a non-convex polygon and didn’t worked like I had planned

Oh! Maybe it’s with the distances (like morse, with - for the longer, and . for the shorter ranges… ok… I’m overthinking lol)

Perhaps it’s been mentioned already, but if anyone has begun the community expedition that launched an hour or so ago. The first thing is a screen that says “Hello, world.”

Feels substantial. Not confirmation, of course. But very notable.

I had the thought that this “smaller” update would run alongside the ARG and perhaps the Expedition holds clues to the ARG.

Says the Expedition will run for 2 months…

Seemingly leading up to the August anniversary.

I thinks at this time the Expedition is live for PS5 players. I’d keep an eye out for anomalies once all platforms are live.
