Question about the coordinate exchange (reddit) [solved]

[dropdead]

Theoretically this isn't the place to ask about coordinate exchange on Reddit or nmsce.com, but since many NMS players know about it, I think I'm good to go here.

Does anyone know if some of these coordinates still work? I know I have tried some in the past and never had a problem, but when I try it now I end up on another planet. That makes me think that something must have changed about the world generations.

So I tried some coordinates that are supposedly from the waypoint update, but again, no luck. Even when I try some that were found days ago.

Is there some trick I can't remember or what's going on?

Oh, of course I do NOT use mods (at all) that might alter the world generation.

Make sure you are in the right galaxy.

The coordinates should still 'work' no matter how old (though the ship/tool/etc in question may not be there anymore), but portals do not cross galaxies, so if you are in the wrong galaxy in the first place, you will end up in the wrong system/planet, still in your current galaxy.

Hm, okay. You have a point there that didn't even cross my mind. I really have to check that.

Anything posted after the Origins update should still be valid. Ships, tools, fauna, ect should have not changed.

Some of the reload tricks to make a particular item appear in a particular location might not work now or may have never been accurate.

Edit, Outlaws changed some ship spawns. Some shuttles were replaced with solar ships. This may have also effected flight paths of other ships.

The thought I might NOT be in Euclid did not even cross my mind, and you are right on the money.

I've started another game some time ago, and I was indeed not where I was supposed to. Thank you!
