And this “folderall” is exactly what annoys me about the direction Hello Games has taken with No Man’s Sky. (Sigh)
I am confused on how the plaque ended up at the bottom of the hole. It was top-side when I arrived and floating above the hole. By the time I returned, it had sunk. I guess proc-gen does not stay where it gens? Or is this plaque not proc-gen? Idk.
Actually, now that I think about it, the plaque wasn’t there at all when I returned. I stood, amid the earthquakes, and watched the ground popping back into place. The plaque regenerated at the bottom of the hole under the spot where it originally stood. I am still confused though as to how it vanished in the first place. (Or did it just vanish from my perspective?)
Has anyone else experienced a sense of fore-boding or doom at these events? It feels as though all of ‘reality’ is coming apart. Perhaps it is supposed to be that way? Or at least it fits with what is happening in this slow crawl of a story line. Though that may be entirely unintentional.
When I was at the target location (Friday), the plaque was sitting on the ground like they “normally” do. There was no hole. I suppose some infantile player(s) thought it would be fun to make it hard on everyone else.
I did not experience a lot of earthquakes at the plaque location, although there were a lot of 'sploding puffers everywhere else --more than usual that is.
No idea about the plaque sinking into the hole.
Aggravating innit?!
So I arrived at the Anomaly today to work on a community mission. This is the first one since this last weekend mission.
For some reason, my personal refiner was busy making runaway mold despite there being no fuel in the refiner. I do not remember starting this process. Perhaps the ‘earthquakes’ from the weekend mission threw the Living Slime into my refiner…though, I do not remember picking up any slime…I must have hit my head on the Plaque as I dug my way out from the sunken depths it was positioned in.
In my experience, mold makes itself. Your refiner just offered good conditions for it to happen.
This weekend’s collection item to appease the @oldgods is:
Spoiler
200 Salty Fingers.
(collected by killing fish --of which there are plenty)
There are also a couple of crashed ships near the target point, one of them right at it, which are claimable I believe.
Chimed in on this one because somehow I thought with an update right beforehand there might be something new, but nope… Pitty.
Note to self: The scatter blaster is great at busting sentinels, but sucks at fishing…
I got sent to a planet with no knowledge stones. Driving me crazy!
So I visited a cartographer and purchased some maps to alien structures - many of them have 2 or 3 knowledge stones on them.
Will be doing this in the future missions.
I just went back to my base planet where they are plenty.
This event was much better than last weekend’s. I still had ‘earthquakes’ though they happened no matter where I was, even in space. They came in regular 1,2,3 punches.
The sight on the way to the target was a bit grim.
I guess I am lucky because the majority of these missions start by sending me to a planet in my home system. You can see the Knowledge Stones with the Portal in the distance.
well how using dynamite … geology cannon does the same
Oh! Bluddy 'Ell! I forgot again to talk to the NPC before jumping in my ship to do the weekend mission. (sigh)
I did too, but I went back.
Ah, when I talked to the NPC, I thought Soleth Prime was the Vy’keen home world. Very interesting that it is a planet from the old trailers, I wonder why they would bring that up. Also, the old planets were mentioned in Waking Titan, which either means they have been planning to do something with them a long time, or they just like to mention them to tease now and then and it is actually meaningless.
Damn it, I knew the name of that planet sounded familiar. I was puzzling over whether it was the Geck or the Vy’keen homeworld, but couldn’t be arsed to look up the lore.
Once I read “trailer”, I was like… hot damn, now things get intruiging!
I actually got this one done. my first visit to the planet, there was no fish to be found. So I started over and culled from my home base world 's seas, thought I only needed 100 fishy fingers. So I ended up fighting the the other five people around mission site for the last 100. Fish corpses raining down ever where.
Put on your hiking boots. You will need 16 of these this weekend,
Nice planet. Make sure to visit some of the local caves.
And the earthquakes were worse than usual for me.
Thanks for the heads up. I may have a few of those in storage , but unlikely 16.
