You have to keep following the Atlas Path to unlock the Atlas Pass. Just keep warping to new systems.

Anyone ever activated a portal yet ? I've come across dead ones , but we have seen them working in previous e3 demos. I really feel there are a ton of secrets nobody has found yet , that being one of them .

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Dont you have to have scanned a certain number of alien life forms to contribute toward getting the pass though?
Just in case :
1- Find a orange beacon thingy
2- Craft a bunch of bypass chip
3- choose transmission, do it until you get transmission tower.
4- go to the transmission tower and then to the crashed ship
5- hope it has 1 more slot than your current ship then transfer everything
6- repeat until you get your 48 slot ship
7- enjoy not spending ~60m for a 48 m ship.
I spent like 5m for a 28 slot ship and now i got a 35 slot ship without spending a dime. took me like... max 2 hours not even rushing.
Maybe i got lucky because 5 time in a row i found a +1 slot ship

what's the best way to farm more slots on ships? already up to 30+ inventory slots; what's the max on suit slots?

WTF? So what do I do if I've been selling them?
ain't got room to haul around 10 of those shits...
I don't know. I just explored the different worlds and kept warping to new systems until I unlocked the Atlas Pass right after
visiting my first Atlas Station.
thinking of restarting yet again.

So after I finally got all 10 stones and followed the path of Atlas which in itself is interesting. Got to the last one which just sent me to a blackhole which leads to somewhere else in the starter galaxy.... And now one of my waypoints for warping is set all the way back near the start.
I feel like the atlas path isn't worth taking AT ALL and just ends up leaving waypoints on the galactic map
Though I now can see systems with blackholes. Dunno if that was a thing before or only after Atlas

I think the game is bugged for me. When you access a galactic market interface on a planet, it will list some stats for you such as on foot exploration, words collected, etc. I am many hours into the game, have an upgraded ship, over 12 millioncredits, 4 atlas stones, etc. However, it always says planet zoology scanned equals zero for me. I think this is preventing me from finding the two guys in space that give you the atlas pass.
Thanks for this. Will try this out next

Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
I'm hardly making any progress. I spent an hour farming Emeril, but it's not enough to buy a new ship, and I really don't feel like walking through the same old caves for another hour. I've got dozens of blueprints, but not many free slots in neither my ship, my exosuit nor my multitool. It's frustrating.

Yes but I cannot get inside the building.
I've found two buildings underwater that were points of interest from a beacon I activated, that have no doors, and can't be interacted with in any way. And I scanned and know there are resources inside them. Anybody able to get in?

I'll keep asking this, does finishing one path lock you out of another?

Had quite enough for today. Made a bit of a gallery with my favorite screens so far, including a few I really liked from the playthrough my friend is doing. Really hope the servers save everything I uploaded.

No. There's basically 2 path, either follow Atlas or do whatever you want to.
Finishing the Atlas quest. Need 10 of them.

Gotta say, I am liking this game a lot more than I thought I would. My worlds haven't been very varied, and I've yet to do a space battle, but I'm loving exploring.
I do hate how every cave system looks EXACTLY the same though.

if you're going through the effort to farm emeril, just use the dupe cheat, IMO. it will save you lots of time and frustration.
Thanks
Build my Tau Warp Drive. Can now warp to green stars aka Class E.
5 planets and 1 moon, the moon is a toxic green moon with insane amounts of toxic flora and poison rain.
It also has just groups of 3-5 knowledge stones just sitting right next to each other and those "damaged machinery" things sit around in groups of 2-3.
I have not seen that before.
Need to check the actual planets.

Huh what about travel to the center? The way the game presents the Galaxy map is you have multiple paths with each tab. I figured each one has a conclusion but the center is the actual "end". Also the game talked about other paths you can follow besides atlas, it was two aliens, I forget their names.
You can spoiler tag the answer, I don't want specifics on the ending just how progression works.
What is the max stack size for items in your inventory?
Before the day 1 patch:
Exosuit Stack Size: 100
Ship Stack Size: 100
After the day 1 patch:
Exosuit Stack Size: 250
Ship Stack Size: 500
The bolded part sounds like there might be a better way to farm for units?

does it seem like the flora/fauna density is directly tied to planet size to other people? both super dense planets I've seen were tiny (one was a moon). All giant planets I've been to are sparse to the point of boredom.
I am not sure if that is a bug or a feature actually. I think it happens if you double tap R2 fast (I think, I've been trying to experiment with it). I'm actually hoping it's a feature cause if it is and you can figure out how to do it it would actually be useful when you want to leave the planet rather than waiting for your ship to break atmosphere.
It is super annoying though when you don't mean it (or if it is a bug that you can't control when it happens) cause usually what happens is I was planning on visiting a marker and then I lose track of it. Also, even if it is a feature it apparently is way too easy to do it accidentally.

From my understanding I'm just traveling where they tell me to go and holding on to these stones right?
Lots of planets have giant mounds of emeril, however it takes forever for not that many units. There are planets that have emeril in the same form as plutonium. This is much faster as it only takes a second to get 100 emeril vs 10 minutes for a mound
The other paths are free roam to the center and using black holes to speed up to the center, and they're basically the same, just that with black holes you may or not reach sooner.
Also the Atlas path is a separate thing to the center, it's like a secondary quest, when you finish it you still have to go to the center.
There is an ending to the Path and it's a good revelation and Gameplay mechanic IMO. People are just sour that they didn't get a trophy or there's no "reward". There is in fact a reward but the reward isn't for you.
It's really cool. Just follow what the player, game and Atlas tell you and you won't be disappointed.
Edit: But yes, keep hold of the Stones until your final (11th) encounter with Atlas.
Edit 2: SPOILERS FOR END OF ATLAS PATH. DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'VE FINISHED IT OR WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
Right, here goes. You sure you still wanna know? Good keep reading then.
You visit the Atlas 10 times. Each time you get a stone and a piece of back story into the different races and where the Sentinels came from etc.
If you keep all 10 stones and visit the Atlas for the last time the Path ends and the Atlas gives you a choice. You can walk away with your stones or you can give the Stones back to the Atlas and it will birth a Star System that another player who's just starting the game will spawn on.
The game tells you that your System has been born on the edge of the galaxy. Sadly you don't get to visit but IMO I think it's cool. Your actions with the Stones give a player their starting planet.

I got stranded on a planet last night.
The game does this weird thing where it will show a giant mining ore (like heridium, or gold) when youre far away, but when you get close to it, it disappears (if you mined it previously).
So I flew up to one, and accidentally landed inside of the place where the ore would have been. BIG MISTAKE. My ship got stuck and blew up. It was my first death.
I then had to comb the planet for repairs. It took me probably an hour before I finally stumbled upon an outpost where i could purchase Zinc to make some repairs. I was also able to call my ship to the helipad using a bypass chip.
I could have reverted to a previous save, but in my head cannon, this was just part of my journey.

Ok thank you. And I should definetly keep the atlas stones then.
So you keep getting a new ship every time until you have the number of slots you want?
