Get to the Center

[Alidrules]

Whats the easiest way to get to the center of the galaxy on permadeath? Ive got an exotic, loads of cash, and nanites. Im only jumping 1300 ly at a time and i got about 178 to go to center.

Spam the first glyph at a portal. It'll get you 5k out from center in any galaxy. There are closer coordinates you can find on Google or whatnay.

The easy way is to just follow the main mission and at the end you will get a choice of four galaxies. It is a long way, but it is easy.

One of the fastest ways is to find a portal, make sure you have the sunset glyph, and use that symbol as the complete address. You will be popped out about 5000 lys from the center.

There are some requirements to change galaxies this way. You need the S class version of the colored sun hyperdrive addons. I believe it is Indium. You need to find the last system along the line in the G map. You need a full tank of gas.

Then it is just figuring out how to set the target of the core. And, you are on your way. You can do it in a few hours or less once you know how.

Can be done very quickly. I only played permadeath once just to say I had :) and it didn't take long because that was basically the only objective. To get the first glyph and only glyph you need for this, talk to travellers at stations, ask for a location of interest and they'll send you to their grave (hopefully not yours as well). Extract glyph, find a portal and it's mostly done.

what I do is travel between points with the freighter, crossing the black holes with the living ship, landing on planets that meet optimal conditions to replenish materials (sodium, carbon, copper and dihydrogen, necessary for the portals), in the space stations I buy if they have a repair kit (about 40 are needed), and to cross the center I use the freighter, although I land on a planet with everything damaged, I call the freighter and the living ship, which has not suffered any damage, within the ship I repair the equipment and the multitool, I create a base with teleport to go to the base and the settlement and continue to the next center with the same method

Thank you guys! Just made it to the second Galaxy....Hilbert Dimension.

Here are the steps to get to the next galaxy:
1a. You need a planetary chart from a space station to find a portal
1b. Alternatively you can use this mod:
https://www.nexusmods.com/nomanssky/mods/1930
2. Look at https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy and find the next galaxy from your
actual own galaxy (they are numbered there)
3. Get the galaxy address
4. Open https://nmsportals.github.io/
5. Convert the galaxy address to portal code
6. Enter the portal code in to the portal and go through
7. Woosh! A new galaxy has been entered!
(You will land in the outer part somewhere in the new galaxy)

Using these steps you can travel through all 255 Galaxys.
Note: Galaxy #256 will bring you to Galaxy #1 which is Euclid.

Hopefully it helps you.

Or you can play Anomaly Teleporter roulette with multi-player enabled and teleport to someone's base in a different galaxy. Much less effort involved.

I can't believe it's this easy to get to the center of a galaxy. It only takes one glyph and it's the first one that you get. When was this first possible? I'd been away from NMS for about 2 years before getting back into it with Expeditions a few months ago. The star system that I warped to was discovered by someone about a year ago. So, I'm guessing this was first possible about a year ago?

spoiler warning. the answer is 16 literally if you convert glyphs to their numeric designations, then inputting 000000000016 into the portal, will bring you 8k ly from the center this works in euclid and eisentaum. I haven't jumped to the 3rd galaxy so i'm nkt sure about there


edit : nevermind, i guess someone else discovered a closer address. .

wow, just 000000000000, that's actually kinda lame. mine at least has some logic to it, relevant to the story, lol


edit 2: apparently, it didn't used to be this easy. it used to be that if you portaled to a system, you weren't allowed to leave that system , except to go back through the portal to your original system

The fact that only one glyph is needed to activate a portal probably just means that this is some kind of intended mechanic, else it would have been changed a long time ago so that portals require all glyphs to be activated.
I'd speculate that some decisions were made towards player freedom, this being one. There are no consequences. Someone who knows this and is tired of the current galaxy can just speed the way to another one. More of the same, much like moving towns, but heh, some galaxies have planets with invisible grass!

Also, just finishing the main story sends you to the center of the galaxy and enters the next, if you choose so at the end of the story (validates the achievement "To Live Forever"). Did this for my permadeath, and finished in 8:14 because I jerked around a bit buying a new spaceship and tool just because, and did the base quest for too long without noticing that I could keep going with the main quest, even if I didn't needed. It's probably possible to get to the center this way in just a few hours if you farm a bit of credits doing space battles in order to buy a stack of Oxygen Capsules and a stack Ion Batteries at the start to last the whole run.
Easieast way, since the quest doesn't require lots of farming or special preparations.

Reading the title it made me think of this

If you put all your ship modules in technology slots, then there won't be any damage from doing black hole warps.

Completing the Atlas storyline gives you the ability to always see black holes on the galaxy map.

I don't remember exactly when, but the change that made this possible was when they removed "portal interference", which prevented you from building a base in, or warping out of a system that you had portaled to; requiring that you return via the portal you arrived in.

The original intent was to allow you to visit systems with portals, but prevent you from skipping the long slog to the center. Eventually they decided to just allow people to travel as they pleased.

I have a whole google doc on the galaxies if you are interested in it, but the above statements are correct, plus one big item of note:
Once you get to the center of a galaxy, if you want to keep jumping through to the next galaxy, then you need to go through a black hole.
Go to the nexus, talk to Polo, ask for black hole coordinates.
It doesn't matter which one you choose, just go through a black hole BEFORE you jump through from one galaxy to the next.
Instead of ending up somewhere in the 700k range from the center, you will always end up around 5k from the center. Literally one or two warps tops from the center every time.
Any time you quit the game entirely and load up a saved game - you will have to go through a black hole again if you want the same results. You only need do it once per load in.
I have one save (that I used to create the google docs) where all I did was jump one galaxy to the next, find a pretty nice planet in each galaxy close to the hop point to the next, and recorded the glyphs for that planet in the spreadsheet.
It's a ton of fun - I hope you enjoy exploring... that's one thing there is a lot of in this game :)
