Travelers dont exist on PC

[vyper1001]

I have played now a total 161 hours and have yet to run across a traveler for glyphs while on voice chat with my girlfriend on a PS4 finds 2 in 20 minutes. What have i missed? any help would be appreciated thank you

Maybe it seems harder to find if you're hopping from station to station looking only for travellers, but while hunting blueprints I was able to get 9 glyphs and would have had more if I knew in the beginning that that was how you collected them.

I only got the game in December so that's on the current patch.

You can spawn a traveller at a trading post by building a beacon.
I commented about this on another thread somewhere.
Here’s the you tube clip, worked for me. Got all 16 glyphs from the same traveller grave. Once I found the grave I just flew off for a bit, short period of time, to another planet or space station off memory , came back, got next glyph. Rinse repeat.

Also something I didn’t know, now I got all glyphs, I stumbled across another traveler grave in my journeys , and it gave me 100 or so nanites .

Here is a quick way to find travelers. Its a small bug :) go to a trading platform on any planet. Place a beacon there. Then jump into your ship, fly into the space and then back to your beacon. A traveler should appear on the trading platform. If it doesnt work, just go back into the space and then back to the beacon. It should work with a few tries. Doing that forces the game to spawn a traveler.

Graves 'refresh' after an hour, just like most buildings/objects. I had to leave the system and come back, so i found two travellers and just alternated between them.

Ahh, that explains it! I dropped a beacon under a trading post on the planet I'm using to harvest suphurine; the atmosphere harvesters are planted nearby. And a Traveler has taken up residence on the main platform along with the usual crowd of V'ykeen hanger's on. Now I know why.

I am a freely explorer (i don't follow any quest, or path, at the moment), and sometimes I find one of them/¿us?.

Totally random. ^^

Well Ive tried the beacon at the Trade Post and went back and forth 10 times and no traveler spawned. Im not sure but maybe ive missed something from the start of game concidering starting another slot from the start and see what if anything ive missed. Going to sleep on it , getting frustrated..

Is there anything unique about your gameplay that limits your visits to buidlings where they might be? Like do you mostly farm and mine without visiting buildings? I'd think in 161 hrs you'd have found several travellers, but sounds like very bad luck unless just not visiting buildings where you find them.

Come to think of it, I probably haven't seen a single traveller (except 2 I couldn't talk to on a freighter) in my last 100 hours or so of play though - so long dry spell here.

It took me very long time to get all 16 glyphs, probably 200-300+hrs. In process of exploring, stopping in space stations, outposts, communications buildings, etc - you should have low random chance of finding them. I think in the game the glyphs are meant to be a side-effect of playing the game - not a goal. Other than exploits there's nothing you can do to make travellers show up more often than visit lots of potential sites where they might show up. I remember going long long periods of time without seeing even one traveller and then finding one or two (sometimes in same location). When it happens it's a rare event that's exciting in the context of the game. Just keep some nanites on hand to find the graves and enjoy the surprise when it happens. ;-) But do stop at as many places as you can while exploring.

I've only gone through a portal once to travel to visit another player's base anyhow. Not something I've even used that much, but it's a cool part of the story.

Try a different trading post. It doesnt work 100% of the time.

I just started a new game on normal and the seconded trading station I went to had a traveler .

Just keep moving, use the side missions to help push you along from place to place, eco scan planets for trading posts and find them, 124hrs in on Survival I've got 4 and its not really a priority for me, just making dollar on the move for my freighter :P

Edit: They have turned up more recently when travelling to Systems primarily with Prosperous economies, however cannot confirm any relation

[BaneBlackGuard]

doesn't seem to be any connection between travellers and economy level for me. I'd say i found about half of them at trading stations, the others i found in buildings or on space stations. didn't go looking for them, just run into them every once in a while.

ALWAYS ask for directions if you get the opportunity from ANY alien type you may meet. They will always dierect you to things you may need as you follow missions. Missions will also send you to places you need to visit to progess finding glyphs. Missions to deliver items and any missions that take you somewhere new often result in aliens or travellers you need to meet. Missions to finding 'rogue' aliens often send you to trading platforms or outposts and the chance of meeting travellers. Using your exocraft you can scan for ouposts etc.

Basically the game is designed so that taking part in the missions, following the story (if not already done so) and playing the game will help finding travellers without randomly hoping to just come across them through wandering exploration (though that is possible). You increase your odds in finding them by taking part in missions.

The bonus of course is by completing missions you also find recipes and complete gear you need. Having completed all that the game has to offer I found that I still find travellers but with greater frequency actively having fun choosing missions.

For me now it is all about exploration and picking missions helps with gathering units needed resources and so on. Travellers are now the surprise bonus and fun to come across, without actively trying to find them.

If you did not know already you can use Creative Mode without penalty to experiment with Portal Travel with all Glyphs unlocked.

That helps if there is a forum event on in the No Man's Sky Universe and you find that you are no where near any particular Star System. If you can not get there in Normal Mode or any mode that is not Creative mode and want to see a published Portal Address simply use Creative Mode. :) Bear in mind though Creative mode is restricted to that Creative universe so psuedo-multiplay can only interact with fellow Creative mode visitors.

Playing Creative mode be aware though you still need to play the game to collect recipes and increase storage/tech slots etc. So it is worth starting a Creative Mode game save and have fun experimenting.

This weekend I visited trading posts in multiple systems/planets, addng a beacon at each trading post and then revisited the trading post 5 or more times in a row and not a single traveler after 6 hrs. WTF?

When I ask for directions at trading posts I generally am directed to an Abandoned Building, Crashed Freighter, Signal Tower or Operations Facility. I've offered trinkets/plutonium before getting directions and I haven't seen a single traveler at any of these.

When I go to a new system I always visit the space station . . no travelers.

For some reason, my game isn't generating Travelers at all.

The beacon trick seems to work for most people, but it hasn't worked for me.
