Atlas Pass 1-3?

[Fiur]

I only find stuff about this topic from 6 years ago so... is it worth to craft these? My V1 pass gave me just 26 C+... for 200 Copper and a Micro ship that's kinda ass.

You only need to carry the Atlas Pass 3 to access anything. It's only really worth carrying to get a little more lore later in the game, if you're interested.

You only technically need the 3rd in your inventory, it'll open the others.

Whether it's worth it or not is up to you. If you get them earlyish the extra materials you may get from cargo and door-locked rooms can be useful re: just adding to your stocks, if you're going to be opening containers constantly anyway, but late-stage/end game it's not very important imo.

That said, IIRC there's at least a couple sidequests I've encountered where you had to have a lvl 2 at least to open doors, stuff like that. I don't know how many such sidequests there may be - I don't do tons of sidequests/haven't tried to do them all etc.

Its worth it to the extent that in the grand scheme of things its cheap to make and you get plenty opened off the back of it but theres no diablo style OMG what legendary loot moments so far.

The Level 1 Atlas Pass opens the red cylinders, the Level 2 opens doors at POIs, and the Level 3 opens the locked doors in space-stations (the higher ones still open the lower items as well).

There are some cool little rooms you get to see. Kind of like 'first-class' lounges. No NPC's in there, but it looks nice. You can open Red Canisters, which I've found to mostly supply navigation data.

You have so far only opened 1 cylinder.

Ask again if your Atlas Pass(es) was (were) worth it ... when you have opened 1000 cylinders, base rooms, and SS back rooms, for the one-time (OK, 3 times for all 3 levels) cost of Pass creation.

(Example: There is one sort of back room on Gek Stations that can yield up to ~4+ Navigation Data. 3 Nav Data > 1 Exosuit Upgrade map ( > =U=85,000 or a Suit Slot, arguably more valuable).)

The thing is that the passes are only single use. I mean sure thing in the grand scheme of things V2 and V3 might be worthwile but V1's seem pretty pointless to me. If they opened 10 boxes or something then maybe it would have been a consideration.

I mean one can play the game without ever using them but I just wanted to clear my confusion about them as it's more trouble to make them then to receive from them. For now. I mean I'm barely 50 hours into the game and I make my money by collecting Stormcrystals with my Minotaur (Bob).

AFAIK, they are not single use. Once you have it in your inventory, you can open multiple containers/doors/whatever. It does not go away after one use. It appears at some point the Devs did consider making them single use (because you can craft multiple copies) but apparently decided against it and so you only need one- preferably the Atlas Pass 3.

They are mainly useful early game- but you can say that about almost everything you obtain in the game. At some point, you never bother unless you are specifically trying to learn more of the lore which is locked behind doors in some of the POIs.

They have never been single use.

I've never seen a scanner-room, but then I don't often check what's behind the doors anymore. I will do now though.

I love it that even after all this time, there are still things I haven't seen in the game

The Atlas passes are definitely NOT single use. You just carry one of them in your inventory throughout the game and you only need one of them, the highest one you have.

I remember creating one and opening one container and I wasn't able to open the second one next to me. Apparently the Minotaur just walked away out of range and I didn't realize I crafted it in it's inventory.

How the hell did this happen and I missed it. I mean it was late at night and I was sleepy from the winter service costing a lot of energy but still.


I apologize to everyone here and let's just say whatever I wrote is complete and Utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and should be ignored. As I thought they were single use.

[Zak]

No worries. Yeah, that makes sense. You probably want it on you all the time to avoid this.
