NMS: AGT Koreenib Showcase

AGT Koreenib is a star system in my favourite region of space - Itchecat Sector in the Eissentam galaxy. It has an opulent (3-star) Korvax economy specialising in power generation with 6 planets, three of which are lush. A quick trip to discover each of the planets turned into several hours exploring and spent checking out the starships at the trading post on Misey L. I also found a S-class copper deposit very close to the trading post and some nice creatures on nearby planet Yitilenev Ls. I was very tempted to build a base here.

There were several starships that caught my attention, including some explorers, fighters and haulers. A lot of the ships seemed to include blue or red, prominent colours in the Misey L environment.

Explorer 1: Imura Pathfinder XVII (A:37/12)

Explorer 2: Voice of the Sekinami (S:19/5)

Explorer 3: Yugam of Frost (B:17/4)

Explorer 4: Yodair of Infinity (S:19/5)

Explorer 5: Parallax Triumph UP2 (B:24/6)

Fighter 1: Gashi's Decree (A:19/4)

Fighter 2: Mejigus's Conqueror (A:38/12)

Fighter 3: EO8 Ichinam (A:19/4)

These two blue haulers look almost identical from the front, but they have different thruster arrangements behind.

I'm not a big fan of shuttles, but any kind of S-class ship is worth a look ...

Shuttle 1: The Birth of Inevitability (S:28/8)

... and royal exotic ships are definitely worth a look!

Exotic: The Sword of Destiny (S:20/6)

This family of dinos were found wandering near the trading post on Yitilenev Ls (around +6.85, -138.71).

Some larger creatures were also found in the same area, and be warned: you may be doomed if you get in the way of 6m tall stampeding D. doomnacris!

All in all, this star system seems like a nice place to live, or visit. In addition to the three lush planets to choose from, there is also a dead planet (Bilythagfor D), a toxic planet (Eroni T) and a bubbly exotic planet (Upuscar X).

NMS: Genetically Engineered Pets 2

Original: Najuan

Portal glyphs for Najuan LX

This is Najuan from planet Najuan LX (a lush planet with red grass, bubbles and non-hazardous storms [just the anomaly strength changes] in the AGT Rafurca system in Eissentam galaxy). I call her my "land shark" because of her tail and she can move pretty quick. She's much more gentle than most sharks though, and she likes to be useful, so I ride around on her and let her scan the environment for things like oxygen or sodium or dihydrogen crystals, and sometimes she goes running off and brings samples back for me.

Companion Register profile for Najuan

She laid an egg and I modified it in the Egg Sequencer at the Anomaly. We made her offspring larger (sodium), changed the anatomy (copper), changed the colour (dioxite) and the next generation will be even more helpful (oxygen). The result was Ptyerro.

Modification of Najuan's egg

Generation 1: Ptyerro

Ptyerro is larger and more helpful, like expected. The green and brown colouring has been replaced with silver and grey, the wasp-type wings have been replaced with fins while the knobbly toes have been replaced with claws.

I didn't really like the new colour so when Ptyerro laid an egg, my first goal was to change the offspring colour. I looked at what ingredients I had available in my inventory and looked at a chart from reddit about probable colours based on ingredient. I had some pugneum but didn't see it on the chart so I thought I'd try it out. I wanted to see what other anatomical changes were possible so I added some magnetised ferrite I had just collected from my mine. I also made the offspring the maximum helpfulness (100%) with more oxygen, but left size alone. The result was the delightful Drainelle.

Generation 2: Drainelle

Drainelle came out a lovely mixture of strawberry and chocolate stripes and she won my heart when after I fed her, she danced around on her hind legs a bit then curled up and fell asleep at my feet. The magnetised ferrite didn't seem to have much effect on her anatomy though - she still has fins and claws and the same head and tail and overall shape as Ptyerro. Oh well, we'll try something else once she lays an egg but I think she's a keeper.

NMS: Robo-Pets

Apparently robotic pets are popular in No Man's Sky with the latest Companions update. Here are some of the robotic pets I have found in case anyone is hunting for some.

Planet Cucklahom in Motomi star system in Euclid galaxy (Normal PC mode)

I have a S-class cadmium mine on Cucklahom, which is a Lost Red Planet with only two fauna, both robo-pets. This star system has lots of weird planets and probably some weird creatures too.

Volopetus Bs in Euclid Galaxy (Permadeath PC Mode)

Watching the sunrise on Volopetus Bs, the barren home-world of my Permadeath Traveller, is so relaxing I made this screenshot the wallpaper for my desktop computer. As soon as it turns dark, I race back to base, do any building, crafting or farming I can, then wait on my balcony for the dawn. Sometimes there are a few lovely big birds flying overhead, or antelope-like creatures grazing near the water's edge. Sometimes sentinels spoil the view. 

If my Traveller wasn't working on the Farmer quests at the moment, trying to unlock all the hydroponic plants and having to travel to different planets to get ingredients (e.g. I had to warp to 5 different systems before I found a toxic planet to obtain ammonia and fungal clusters and then it nearly killed me because it had extreme weather and aggressive sentinels), they would be very reluctant to leave this planet. Besides, there's still so much and see and do right here, like exploring the extensive underground tunnels and finishing building my base. If the galaxy only has 16 "minutes" left, this is a great place to spend the remainder of this iteration.
