Unification Day 2025

The schedule for Grand Unification day has been posted.

Updated Schedule

Redundant Schedule

I recollect it happening earlier in december for previous years so i actually thought it had been and gone.

Does anyone have any memories of taking part in the past or is there anything in particular youre looking forward to seeing from the schedule this year?

I always intend to, forget its happening, miss most of it then try catch what I can in a scramble on the last day.

Corvettes have the potential of making this year memorable and unique but also invites the possibility of someone arriving in a heavily modded 15000 piece corvette and crashing everyones game :upside_down_face:

There is a chance that I can join this year, when I’m back at a capable PC, I’ll post here again. Anyone else joining?

(It always was scheduled while I was away visiting family or friends, so I always missed it, but this year, my friends are visiting me.)

If people want to forrm a group, I can arrange to attend one or more of these. I did a couple of the early ones - in those days, it was a real novelty to actually meet other players.

I find that much beyond “Hello” and “Nice ship / multitool” I rapidly run out of things for my avatar to say to people I don’t know - and the idea of races / competitions or gift swapping holds no appeal. I am, however, willing to turn up and wave the flag for an hour or two.

We could tour other people’s bases? Or meet at an elaborate base and “ooh and aah” at it while the owner is there?

I’m not sure how the logistics of this work nowadays. The game imposes a limit on how many players can join an instance - so if we all teleport / portal in to a location, there’s a high probability we won’t end up in the same instance as each otherr. And if one of us goes to the location, and others of us join their game, then players who are not part of our game won’t be able to see us.

Just turn up and wing it, I suppose. “Hello, Nice multitool…”

(edit) Then there’s @sheralmyst , who plays in experimental - and therefore won’t be able to see anyone at all.

All by myself….:musical_notes:

But I can see the stuff people build

However, I also play on PS5 and I can definitely see people there.

This makes me wonder how that works. I am playing my PC exp save on PS5…

To be clear though, on PC exp, I can see other players also on PC exp.

Just tested PS5 and I see tons of people even though I am playing a PC exp cross save

Ugh. SIGH. That’s so annoying.

I wonder how multiplayer will be in Light No Fire. :roll_eyes:

Thats good that the exp pc cross save can roll back to stable ps5 release with no hiccups. Good job all around from HG.

We could set up a private messaging group here, to share our NMS friend codes, it might increase the likelihood of us getting lumped into the same shard when visiting the systems.

Or if it just ends up being the four of us, perfect size for being in the same group/fireteam.

All platforms seem to keep experiencing server meltdown. Hope we can make it online tomorrow.

Yeah, I’ve heard complaints about multiplayer not working (steam and epic, many different PC games), too. We will have to see. The feature that we need to work is the matchmaking, right?

Is Xbox/Sony faring better?

(The multitude of websites named after paraphrases of is-it-down-tracker in various languages are contradicting each other and are not helpful.)

Or maybe a news articles gets updated. On the other hand, if a journalist decided not to update silly “why mah game iz brokened!” news items and enjoyed the holidays instead, I could not be mad. This looks halfways like real news that gets updated? Steam seems to be back to normal, at least for the moment, but now it looks like the Epic Games Store is getting hammered | PC Gamer

PS: Apparently Cloudflare and AWS immediately published news “it’s not our fault this time!” :wink:

I have seen mentions of PS servers going down as well.

Cannot say. Saying, I would know. Do not know, so cannot say.
Very damaged. Zathras can never have anything nice.

Im about to boot up the playstation so ill see how I get on with servers

I also need to buy myself a month of ps plus cos it just ran out. I only ever use it really for nms during expeditions, which still works out cheaper than buying a years worth :wink:

Edit:

I remembered the dates wrong, doesn’t start until tomorrow. Gonna build a base next to a portal in preparation as ive yet to do that in my permadeath run.

Ah so sorry haha, only seeing you now! ;0; I was just about to pop out for a pre worm-hunt smoke so you caught me JUST in time at the Worm Hunt thingy.

Feel free to use me as a photo prop in the meantime :grinning_face:

So this is where they put you when you don’t behave

Definitely stealing some ideas

I thought @toddumptious was eaten by this titan wurm

I guess it is okay to build a base nearby?

I think the event systems are a no go for bas building.

Sorry I’m just walking in circles/aimlessly , a friend sent me a voice chat invite to fill me in on all the happenings over christmas and theres lots of tea spillin.

I saw some “tea break” areas advertised too, one is in this system. The flappy flap jack place
