I was one of the lucky people who also got food for Mr. Noodles (later re-identified as Ms. Noodles), as well as a classic scifi book, Nine Tomorrows by Asimov
Prized possessions. Having old rabbit foot as a prized possession feels kinda weird, but sometimes your destiny is handed to you, you are not always given a choice.
The game has a lot of strange limits like that. Like allowing only 10 Message Modules, where Minecraft worlds allow infinite signs (or at least such a high number that, when you search how many are allowed, you can’t really find an answer). Or only allowing you to store 16 Personal Wonders, even though they’re just stored seed values, which are also about as simple as storing a text string.
Nice! The one on the upper-left does it for me. Glowing red, Sith-style diplo logo? Yes
Right? I’ve never had anything even close to that with any other game.
It’s a brand-new feature! All previous Expeditions required a new save.
Added to the sidebar!
And they’re re-running Expeditions!
Sounds like it’ll have even more of a multiplayer focus than No Man’s Sky does!
I can’t wait to see everyone there, and you know the Galactic Hub is already making plans for our sister-group to be based on the new planet.
I think Hello Games is doing something big behind the scenes. Last Expedition was the worst one so far imo, it was the first one to have ZERO narrative of any kind, 100% just chores and fetch quests. PC received an Experimental update weeks ago that Console still hasn’t received. And this next update represents part 4 out of 4 of the Void Mother narrative, the grand finale.
All of that makes me feel like a lot of the core team is working on something else.
So I don’t have a direct answer to your question, but I will say, to me, it’s another indication that something huge is on the way.
Personally, as someone who has unlocked every single Expedition item legitimately, I think exclusivity culture is lame and dumb. I don’t like these things more just because I know other people don’t have them. If anything, it makes me feel slightly guilty for using them lmao

#The Galactic Hub Project
Largest & Oldest Active Civilization
11,000+ Player Bases, 75,000+ Subreddit Subscribers, 12,000+ Discord Members
The Galactic Hub Project (r/NMSGalacticHub), founded October 2016, is Euclid’s multiplayer hotspot. With a greater concentration of players than anywhere else in No Man’s Sky, there’s no better location to experience Civilized Space gameplay!
A few of our features include:
Chapters - The Galactic Hub has a variety of sub-organizations called Chapters, like the GH Exobiology Corps (focused on fauna), the GH Defense Force (focused on defense & combating griefers), the GH Star League (focused on hosting multiplayer “simulation sports” competitions), & more!
Colonies - In the Hub, colonies are communities of multiple players collaborating in some way. This always includes building bases, which are often built under the same theme. Colonies may be as big as a whole system, or as small as a single trade post. The most active colonies are managed by Governors. Governors are interlopers who volunteer to run a colony. A governor’s main focus is keeping their colony active - this often involves writing missions or hosting events for their colonists. Some colonies even have Mayors, which manage even smaller communities known as Territories within a Colony. Anyone may set up their own colony in Hub space and act as a Governor!
Multiplayer Events - From laid-back Social Nights to the NMS take on eSports Star League, the Galactic Hub has multiplayer social events nearly every week - sometimes multiple each week. Come meet your neighbors!
Economy - The GH has its own native currency, HubCoin. It is rewarded exclusively for activity representing the Galactic Hub on various platforms (Reddit, Discord, Wiki, Twitter). HubCoin is never available for sale for dollars, pounds, etc - “real world money” is never required or involved. HubCoin is used to facilitate a metagame economy. For example, to earn coin, players can open their own Businesses with in-game locations in Hub space. To spend coin, players might browse our Discord server’s Marketplace and buy goods like custom ships, custom companions, services-of-convenience (ie construction materials), or even 100%-free real-world Hub merch. (Real-world merch availability may vary.)
Canonization - Hello Games was kind enough to canonize the Galactic Hub. In other words, we’re official in-game content! The “Pilgrim” title can only be unlocked by visiting our old capital planet, New Lennon. Our emblem can be purchased at the QuickSilver store as a base decal or player banner. We’re also referenced in the Mission Board and the dialogue of a Traveller, as well as being referenced in the Waking Titan ARG!
That’s just a quick look at some of our features. We also have interactions with other civilizations, we’re a founding member of the United Federation of Travelers, and much more - but above all else, what really defines the Galactic Hub is our thriving and friendly community. Join us and find your new home in the stars!
Welcome to the Galactic Hub, interloper! There are a lot of planets to check out lol. Be sure to join the Discord too, if you want to get involved with the community.
Pretty much. It uses cryptocurrency infrastructure - and I don’t really understand why anyone would be opposed to the tech in and of itself. It’s useful tech, as demonstrated by us using it lol. But it’ll never be exchangeable for real money, and anyone attempting to do so will be banned. And, because of the underlying tech, it’s very easy to monitor everyone’s transactions to insure that.
As for environmental concerns, the testnet (monopoly money area of crypto) runs on Proof of Authority. Which is sort of how most programs work: you confer with a server that says, “Yep, that’s a real and valid action.” It’s not like Bitcoin where people are competing using energy-intensive computing to solve numerical problems to support the network and blah blah. Interacting with HubCoin should use less electricity than streaming media or playing video games, I would think, especially since each interaction only takes a minute or two.
But it’s also optional. You can be a part of the Galactic Hub without using HubCoin. And if even that is uncomfortable for you, certainly no one is compelled to join.
Of course! I love Halloween so I wanted to give the community a fun way to celebrate, plus this is great for people who can’t make the multiplayer events we usually host. Let me know what you think, and happy early Halloween interloper
I think it should all work for you on Switch! This is all meant to be playable entirely solo, except one mission which requires you to send 3 screenshots to me because I couldn’t work out a smarter way to do it 🎃 Thank you interloper!
Yes, S-Class Staffs are obtainable in a similar way to multitools. With Staffs, the Head piece determines class and (for the most part) color. So, if possible, check every different head at every different Autophage Terminal in order to find S-Class Staffs. It should be considerably faster than hunting Multitools.
Yeah, all staffs have 3 supercharged slots at S-Class I believe.
It seems like both the class and the color are determined by your location (can vary from one camp to another on the same planet) and the Head you use.
I just upgraded it at the space station to be S-Class
Those will be first-come, first-serve beginning Sep 1st. So we’ll release the location that day, you come visit the city, find the district you want to live in, then get in contact with the District Mayor for that district. They can help you get settled from there.
I can help you (or anyone else) via Lemmy, but you’d get the quickest response on our Discord.
I did but Automod just removed my post with the reason, “One item per post, please, so that the subject line can function as a searchable index”. Probably won’t go through the effort of reposting tbh.
