Missing Atlas Pass v1

[bittercranberry]

Is there another way for me to get the v1, I never got it off nano and i'm now 80 hours in?

[slycritter]

Have you gone and talked to him again, and again. I know i didnt get mine from him the first time like i was suppose to but then i go on track. Just got my v2 from him. this page acctualy is pretty close to how i got it exept he didnt give it to me first. https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Polo

You have to visit Polo in the Anomaly once it shows up in space. He´ll give it to you... and some more stuff along the journey.

Sorry I meant Polo, I've been to at least 6 anomalys, all I ever get are blueprints (that I allready have)

[Sapwn]

The order in which you get polo and nada blueprints is fixed and atlas v1 is the first. I submitted a bug report some time ago, because under certain circumstances the beginning of the artemis quest can advance the anomaly counter by 1. Any chance your first encounter was the story encounter of the anomaly?

[bittercranberry]

First time I saw it it just appeared in the system and I avoided it as I thought it would try to kill me.
Guess only that one would of gave me the v1 :/

At least you are finding anomalies. I never even see the anomaly so never see Polo. Still have no v1 pass. I think it's broken.

The anomaly only shows up after you've spent quite a bit of time (not sure the exact number, at a minimum 2 hours spent in-game and unpaused) within a single system, without leaving the system by any means, and that system must not have an atlas station. After enough time has passed, the station will magically appear the next time you leave a planet and go to space.

It can get very... weird since the introduction of habitable bases, and even more so with the addition of portals, because those allow you to travel all over the place very quickly, and the more you do it, the harder it is to keep track of when a new anomaly is supposed to spawn.

Sometimes, if you use the teleporter system extensively, it'll apparently (Im guessing) reset the timer, making the station sort of stuck in the same system (if it already showed up for the first time) or not appear at all (if it hasnt).

While it is stuck, if you visit it repeatedly (with some time passed between visits) it'll advance the polo dialogue and rewards as if it was a new anomaly, but Nada rewards will get stuck and you'll get the same blueprint repeatedly if you select the 'resources to help exploring' option.

This gets further complicated by the Artemis storyline forcing the anomaly to spawn at a certain point, and Im sure portals will further complicate it, tho its hard to tell how much since you're stuck without a ship when you go thru a portal.

I have only recently used the teleporter thing and prior to that have spent extensive time on single planets searching for fauna but I never get any indicaiton of an anomaly. I did the Artemis quest already and now that turned into Ghost in the Machine (I think). It had me establish a base and now hiring people for the base..still no anomaly or any indication of an atlas pass v1.

Sounds like this quest has many places to potentially get stuck so it's probably bugged for me or something.

It doesn't so much get stuck as it just takes an inordinate amount of time spent without leaving a single system before it'll actually spawn. You'll only get it to spawn when you leave the planet's atmosphere and go into space, no indication whatsoever if the timer has spawned it or not before that. Ive seen a fresh one pop up after 2 hours (minimum) to probably something like 6 hours, haven't tested past that.

Also, if you feel like you've spent enough time on planet that it should have triggered it to spawn, but it doesn't show up when you leave the atmosphere, then warp to any nearby system that you haven't visited yet and it may spawn as soon as you get there.

If it doesn't, best to reload the last save before you left the planet, and wait some more.

As far as I know it'll only spawn if your system does not have an atlas station.

Stuck, bugged or convoluted trigger system for the event. Doesn't much matter if the end result is the same. I think if you have to jump through that many hoops to get the even to trigger..something is broken. In any event thanks for all the info. Hopefully, they will fix it or something.

Sure, but until such a fix arrives, its nice to have a work-around.

[Sidartha]

Well, I have done what you said numerous times and it hasn't worked for me. I have also read that it only happens when you enter a new system but that hasn't worked for me, either. Maybe it just isn't working for some people. No clue.

Sooo...funny story. I decided to go ahead and report this as a bug to Hello Games. Filled out the form and submitted it on their website..within an hour of that I'm exploring a planet (on foot) and I use my scanner (not the ship scanner) on the planet and detect an anomaly in space. Fly to it and proceed with quest.

That's either some amazing customer service or some weird cosmic humor or something. Atlas pass v1 acquired. Finally!

Grats, like I said, its a long time exploring before they show up, and how much time is not always predictable. =P
