So today was fun. I managed to make a bit of progress with the story, get about 10 extra suit slots and defend traders in distress!

You know that feeling when you’ve been looking everywhere for something and then suddenly when you aren’t looking for it, it just pops up out of nowhere and starts attacking you? Yeah that happened today in game. I started out where I left off. On that planet with the crazy bird dinosaurs. My goal was to complete the discovery of every creature on the planet because it would net me 375,000 Units. I had just 1 creature left to find and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where he was. So I gave up and instead started hunting drop pods. On my way to one of them I realised I was out of Plutonium and went to mine it near a cave entrance. Mining away, not caring about much and then all of a sudden I get attacked by this bloody dog like thing. I quickly scan it and realise… HOLY CRAP IT’S HIM!!! and kill him with glee knowing that he was the last I needed. I can’t lie, that was satisfying.

I now have 22 suit slots, 21 ship slots and 17 gun slots. Getting these upgrades has made the game so much easier to manage. No longer and I constantly selling on the Galactic Trading Network. Finding Drop Pods (the things that give you the suit upgrades) was actually really easy. Just head over to those orange glowing beacon things and search for shelters, do it till you get bored of standing there crafting bypass chips and then go off in your ship to find them all. Look at all these.

Also another tip. Sometimes its easier to go into orbit to get to a drop pod location as you can travel about 10 times faster.

Next up, I decided after hearing the experiences from a friend of mine that it would be wise to unlock the AtlasPass v1. So I set off, with a full charged warp drive and jumped 5 systems. However I got distracted along the way. I saw a pretty cool moon and I’ve never been to a moon before so I thought “why not?”

But damn it was cold.

Like really cold. I did manage to find these floating things, which turns out are Radox! Quite a rare material if I do say so myself. I hunt those for a bit before telling myself “Okay, its time to go before you freeze to death”.

Light speed, Captain!



AND THERE IT WAS. My first Atlas Station! What an alluring beauty! It looks suspiciously like HAL 9000 but hey let’s not judge an AI by it’s exterior. Maybe it’s nice.

I went in and it gave me 2 free warp cells and a Atlas stone valued at ~65k! That’s pretty nice. I like you Atlas.
