All packed up and ready to head off to a new galaxy!

If you're looking for a nice base, or just a rest stop, Sodalemp in the Omnarb system (Euclid) has good weather (no storms), non-hostile sentinels, and some good looking large haulers (46-48 S, A, and B).

Do you have to complete quest lines to jump to a new galaxy or can you just decide to do so at any time (my understanding is you have to reach the galactic centre, but other than that?)

*edit* Oh, and Aloha! Drop us a postcard from wherever you end up.

Spoilerish but not really new news:

At the end of the Purge quest you're directed to a portal on a "ley line." After some stuff happens, you face the Atlas for the last time. You're given the choice of resetting the simulation and starting over in a new galaxy or of halting the reset and continuing on in Euclid.

Accepting the reset is, as I understand it functionally the same as passing through the center of Euclid. You're dumped at the end of a one-way ticket with broken equipment and no way back. Instead of passing into the second galaxy (Hilbert Dimension) the Purge reset gives you the choice of nice, normal, extreme, or exhausted galaxies.

Bases left behind in Euclid are destroyed; some material can be recovered, more or less like moving a base in Atlas Rises and prior. Better to tear them down and pack up before heading out.

Refusing the reset drops you off on a random planet in Euclid but your ship is okay (I think) and your bases and such are intact.

In each case, the Atlas/Artemis quests are over and you should get the Remembrance stone for your exosuit. Further travel between galaxies in each case is henceforth only by passing through the center and on to the next in order.

I made it through the center of Euclid in Pathfinder and, after starting a new game, refused the Purge reset in Atlas Rises. Started over again with NEXT and it seems like it's time to try out a new galaxy!

Good Luck Traveller, I have enjoyed your posts from Euclid and found them very helpful. Best wishes for your new journey.

So, fellow Traveller, I sure hope you'll persist, enabling me to welcome you in Ogtialabi in the not so far future, where I decided to set up post, preparing to provide assistance to explorers, right on the very edge of the centre, with fallback bases sprinkled around :)

Finally claimed a base in Eissentam. When I energized the new base compuer, I knew that I had found the perfect location. It was fate! https://imgur.com/a/I3x67SN

Avoid Calypso. I wish I had. These new patches have reduced footspeed when scanning. All I do is run, in extreme after extreme planet. I cannot really explore on land, unless I perch in a hole, a pod, out of a window, etc.. And in the beginning it was neat, to sneak, but now the extra effort is wearing me down.

I do more flying in Calypso, than in Euclid.

Be sure to build a base, on a predator rich planet, mine has a predator thats diet, is other predators. Because the guilds pay good Nanite for missions to hunt, just 1 or 2 predators, as opposed to hunting a dozen veggies.

Love the name of the colony!

SPOILER SPOILER


A bit of a side track here, but I seem to have run into a bug with the 16/16 quest. When I go through the portal the game locks up. I've googled and this seems to be a somewhat common issue. Do you know if this is fixed in the latest patch or still a crap shoot? I'm still on version 1.57

END SPOILER

Congratulations on your new home. I admit, Nuthuse Colony did make me chuckle a little.
Perhaps you'll still be there when the Universe Gods allow us to join the parallel universes and fellow GoG travellers can stop by for a chinwag or maybe by then you'll be in Ogtialabi with ksj8ak2 and we'll find a veritbable space city to come rest in.

Good hunting and safe travels.
