Hi, so I’ve been gone for quite some time now, and I’m sorry about that. High school started up, and it’s been quite the trip. It doesn’t help that NMS has decided to completely break after Visions. I can’t even get past the loading screen anymore.

But that’s not what I’m here for. While I haven’t been able to play the game myself, I’ve been busy studying and attempting to decipher all of the lore and interactions within the game. I’ve read everything, from the First Spawn Gek, to Telamon, to Waking Titan. However, while reading though countless pages of text and Reddit posts, it’s been really challenging trying to place what’s happening when.  
So that’s why I’m here: I want to create one _massive_ timeline of all the events lore wise in No Man’s Sky. It’s going to be tough, but I think it’s possible.  
While I know lots and lots of lore now, I definitely don’t know everything. For instance, I’m struggling trying to fit the events of Waking Titan into the NMS universe. I also know nothing about the events that are happening with the Visions update.  
So yeah. I honestly have no idea where to start the timeline. What I’d think would be the best spot to start is the events of Waking Titan, which would be the present day. What do you guys think?

More specifically, from both the NMS\_LOC1\_ENGLISH (pre-1.3) and NMS\_UPDATE3\_ENGLISH (1.3x), as both are used in the current version. Both these files basically contain all the text used within the game for the English localisation. Considering the amount of text available and a wish to have it nicely organised and separated by topic, I am unable to fit it all in just on…
