Gek cultists? Uh oh…
So we’re now getting the same kind of missions, but with a bit more story attached? I do hope they switch up the things to do a bit, too…
Ok, let’s see here. We’re definitely dealing with the Abyss, which accordding to current lore is most likely another powerful AI. I guess if a universe has an AI as its god, it can also have one as its devil. We don’t know anything about its potential motives or goals, though, and since the Atlas isn’t exactly a benevolent god (more like one that would like to be, but is also rather helpless and going stark raving mad because of it), that devil might not be entirely malicious either.
We know the abyss has got to do something with water, and that drinking it is a bad thing that robs you of your will, though we don’t know the exact effects. Since these cultists encourage us to drink it, we can only assume that they’d done so themselves and are not quite right in their mind anymore.
What is a bit unclear to me here is what the abyss wants. We (well, you, more precisely) have been feeding those breaches for quite a while now, which “stabilises” them, whatever that means. What is of not here is that the breaches always seemed to have an “urge” to be fed, and here we are told about a bunch of abyss cultists that have been actively trying to feed it, and failed. So… aren’t we basically doing their dirty work for them? So the breaches cause less disruption when they’re “stabilised”, but they’re also… well… stable now. So the goal of the abyss seems to be to create stable breaches which may not be as disrubptive to reality, but they’ll stick around. And I guess at some point something will start entering through those breaches. And we’ll be the ones that stabilised it.

The new update and the bug fix still leave me almost unfunctional on PS4. I am saved in the anomaly. 80% of the time the game crashes on me loading in.
However, one (my second try after the bug fix) allowed me to take the weekend mission. Of course this being my second try on load in, I didn’t realize how difficult it was to load in . I was heading into the anomaly to collect my quicksilver, and my game crashed. After being able to load in once more (fourth try), I tested a daily QS mission, and it crashed when I came back in.
Unfortunately when you crash during an anomaly mission, you load back in at the anomaly. Quite this vicious circle. (I have submitted to Zendesk of course.)

Update 2.52 fixed the issue for me.
I saw that update 2.53 uploaded this morning, but I was unable to test it on PS4 before leaving the house.

Hmmm.
Abyss … will take some time to decode …
Leading up to something bigger?

And the first 2 people mentioned are connected with water in mythology.
This also makes me hope we will be able to contact Artemis again. It would be nice if the story made a connection to the Apollo missions.

So how do you make sweetened compost? Those big 2 legged animals kept killing me after I put down the compost. Althoug they are not hostile. I assume it was caused by an idiot that was shooting them

Faecium and one of Enzyme Fluid , Scented Herbs or Fermented Fruit. Those in turn are made from Faecium and many different things, several are plants found on the planets (Pulpy Roots, Frozen Tubers, Impulse Beans, Wheat, Gamma Root, Solanium, Frost Crystal, Jade Peas, Fire/Grah/Hexaberry, Sweetroot, Marrow Bulb, Star Bulb, Cactus Flesh …) I have Xaine’s food page and Gamepedia bookmarked because I can never remember all of these.

I left and retreived some Tall Eggs from my storage. @MacForADay was able to gather some with MP disabled.

There is an app I use called Assistant for No Man’s Sky. It lets you search by name for an item and it will tell you how to make it or what things can be made from that item.

Thanks for that! Very nice. I am going out making that Cake of Burning Dread. Looks delish!

As much as I appreciate that things are finally progressing somewhere, feeding eldritch abominations with random cooking products just doesn’t really get me immersed…
I can already see the abyss emerging from the rifts, declaring in thunderous voice “PUNY MORTALS, I HAVE COME TO TRADE RECIPES!”
Admittedly, it would be kind of a discworldish thing to happen, but the rest of the NMS universe just doesn’t get me in the proper mood for that…

Just when I was listening to this one. The theme is similar
