Is there ANY to repair ATLAS so it doesn´t do that thing it does?

[andersw11111]

Is there a secret solution to repair ATLAS that nobody is even thinking of? Or have the devs categorically made a statement that there´s no puzzle to actually solve in that regard?

I am thinking in particular something to do with the portals. Because it gives a message sometimes where it says traveller detected - fracture repair engaged. But nobody seems to care and go towards the normal ending. So i am thinking maybe the portals are creating whatever ATLAS is having problems with.

I was thinking something like finding a portal in 12 systems that has an atlas interface (12 coordinates to open a portal). And then dialing eachother up. so 1 portal in 1 atlas interface system, dials up a planet in another atlas interface system. Then you obviously can´t warpdrive out of the system you dial up. But you don´t have to. You do that 6 times so you cover all systems. Now 6 obvious bidirectional portals are open connecting 12 atlas interface solar systems/systems wherein there is an atlas interface station, and you can´t warpdrive to any of them from outside presumably.

Would that do anything. Or find 12 black hole systems and bidirectionally connect them in similar way so you have black hole system on one end atlas system on another, which would be then 24 portals. 12 systems with black hole, and 12 with atlas interface systems.

Or is it just futile and there´s no way you can use portals to somehow repair atlas at all, and it does that thing no matter what?

Also if you don´t open any portals at all prior to that, and then do that thing. Would that do anything?

The ATLAS is a computer. Its hardware is failing due to its age. Everything you see is just a simulation; it's a program. You can't fix a hardware issue with a software solution.

I know what the ending and everything about that. I´m getting ready to portal via protocol 16. But you don´t know exactly why ATLAS is failing. Or exactly what it is. It´s a major assumption on your part that last bit.

I actually do know why the ATLAS is failing and what it is. If you go around the space stations, sometimes you can find memories it chose to share. Those memories corroborate what I said.

The part about the age isn't an assumption. It's part of the lore you can discover.

Yes i get it is way old like almost eternal, it's pretty clear in the dialogues with the atlas seeds. Do you meet -null again etc. after the ending, are there no missions after the ending etc.? And do you keep some of your stuff?
I find it a bit idiotic that there's not some puzzle to solve where the ending is that everything survives.

You don't meet -null- again (or at least I haven't met him yet). You do keep all your stuff, but all your tech will be damaged if you choose to reset the simulation. Also, it's not idiotic, it's just the way the game is. To do what you want would be like a dream curing cancer. Now THAT is idiotic.

no it´s not, what a silly example to use. there are several treatments that have cured that in a lot of instances. Stop trying to defend it like that, since it´s just about exploring they might aswell have it so that all the stuff survives and it was some anomalous error that was caused by travellers or whatever, that was causing a problem for ATLAS, and that you could actually fix by solving some kind of puzzle, since it becomes abundantly clear that you are basically the personification of atlas put into a traveller.

Personally, I like the way it is now. The ATLAS has 16 minutes left. You, on the other hand, have eternity. My analogy is sound, since you're essentially a dream of the ATLAS; a simulation and nothing more.

Don't quote me on this, but as far as I understand.

The planet itself where the Atlas is physically, is about to be destroyed, and the Atlas it trying to run a simulation of its own destruction, and what might happen after that. But the simulation always glitch out, and you reset it eternally, since time in the real world is different, the Atlas still have 16 minutes before destruction.
