After doing the most recent expedition i returned to my most favourite past time: looking through every little smitch of lore to find out more about the upcomming storybeats.

I went around looking for some words from the autophages and doing their bigging when i came across one of those severed heads you can fix up. zjey said something about…forgotten moons of Korvax Prime? i was confusedm, not remmebering moons ever being mentionend.
I kept going, read more texts, learned words, translated more. I learned the word “moon” eventually, bringing me back to the text i read before and eventually i found it: one head spoke of the “scrapyard moons” and it hit me like a truck. The autophages rebuild themselves from the scraps and trash of the Korvax. Maybe they lived on it, being a somewhat seperate faction…shunned by her kin.
It explained why they all looked like…well build from trash. It almost made me tear up, especially thinking of how sad Nada seemed when thinking of them or the voidmother.

They were left by their maker, shunned by their kin and probably can’t even leave the planets they are on now (as it seems they have zero space pressence)

I hope I’m not interpreting all of this wrong but for now this is my understanding of it.
Its simply a tragedy.

Hey NMS community! As the title says, my friend group is looking for our next survival sandbox game to play and No Man’s Sky is popping up on our radar! After discovering all of the updates this game has undergone over the years, we are hopeful that this is something that we can all play together and put a bunch time into for the foreseeable future..

However;

We are aware that the game allows up to groups of 4 and after some light research on YouTube and Reddit, we are NOT quite sure what all that entails:

We see that 32 people can be in the same instance at a time on PC.. Does this mean we can all play with each other, build bases, quest together etc. in multiple groups of 4 (or less) at the same time?

In other sandbox-survival type games that we have played together thus far (Age of Conan, Ark, Terraria, Minecraft etc.) we had the freedom to pretty much play through those games together, interacting and doing objectives with eachother as a whole as much as we pleased.

So our main concern is are we going to be able to play most of the game together as a collective? Since we are pretty unfamiliar with how the game works and plays (we didn’t want to over-research on youtube and spoil the gameplay), we weren’t sure that, being such a large group, would we be relatively alienated from each other via the limited 4-man group sizes and if NMS is the type of game we are looking to play together as a full goon squad!

Thanks for any and all info guys!!
