What is the main 'quest' in this game?

[Rock1m1]

So I played almost hundred hours and did the Atlas quest, after giving birth to a star that quest is still there for me for some reason. Upon going to the station it has the pillars to craft another star, so I am assuming that quest is over?

As for Polo and his things, I have to do naturalistic milestone.

I am done with base building stuff.

I heard there is one called Artemis quest which I still have no idea how to get or maybe I have done it already?

Finally the galactic core, so I am so far out so I am not even sure how many blackhole jumps it will need to go near it. As everytime my ship item breaks down and it is a pain to fix it.

the main quest is just to live life as an interstellar Traveller wandering a near endless sea of stars. there are the storylines you've mentioned but there really isn't a "main quest" that carries you through the game to an end. the game doesn't really have an ending, just various stories and bits of lore to track down.

This one would be good for spoiler alert. Basically, there are two missions. One is where you create a new star and one is where you get some choices about the galaxy and potentially where you want to go. I see the second as being the "main" mission.

Regardless, the star creation mission just keeps coming back. I have done it at least three times.

If you are expecting an "end" ...roll credits...there is no real ending to the game. You just keep exploring and doing as you will. Some folks take a trip to the edge of the galaxy, galaxy hub, or just keep heading to the center each time they jump. After 1500 hours, I just screw around...started a new game recently just for kicks.

What about this Artemis mission? I think I never got that

the Artemis mission line starts on your fourth warp usually, i have had it start on my third warp -- the first freighter battle warp.

This is an open sandbox game. "A chill exploration experience..."

I came across the Artemis quest via Awakenings.

Indeed!

No Man's Sky is not like games that have a major objective or puzzle to solve and then you're done. It's not a "fight the big boss" game or a "explore the dungeons and gather loot" game. It has its own niche. You either like that more open-ended type game or you don't. For me it's fine.

There are two main questlines, and the Artemis Path is much better than the Atlas Path, IMO.

Those main quests are just tutorials, a guidance to the end of the game so you can restart your progression (repeatedly) and the only reward that you get is the ability to locate black holes, which is kinda pointless when you just want to explore (the strength of this game) because the location of unique - interesting biomes is completely randomised. It doesn't matter if you are close to the centre or on the edge of the galaxy

NMS is a good adventure-exploration survival sandbox game but it still lacks a lot.

I'm well beyond my first warp, I'm like more than 100 right now.
