organic ship - impossible to reach?

[Anna Curser]

i reached a point in the quest for the organic ship where it wants me to go to a particular planet but I have no idea where it is or how to reach it.
i tried using a portal but theres not enough symbols for the address.
I been flying through the galaxy for days, trying to find the planet the map is pointing me to but I have no idea if it would even show up on the map. it's so incredibly far away, that it might take years of playtime to reach it. and idk if im 10k LY away from it or 600k LY.
it doesnt show up on the map.
and the quest marker only shows the next 3 planet hops. if it would go all the way, it would help a lot.
at this point I dont think the planet is reachable. i have no idea how people get to it.
I even looked up vids but those players had different portals and symbols, they just teleported right to it.
if anybody has this planet visited, i ask of you to make a base on it and let me visit it. i cant enjoy this game until this quest is done.

The only practical way to get to the planet is by using a portal. The Living Ship is generally considered late-game. By then you'd normally have all the glyphs you need. You can, however, get the glyphs by talking to travelers in space stations. When you talk to them a second time, you can ask them where they're from (for 100 nanites) and they'll point you to a grave on a local planet where you can obtain the next glyph. You need the first 12 glyphs to use a portal.

Depending on how far along you are, be aware that the specific planet is in Euclid galaxy. You may have to teleport back to a location in that galaxy if you are currently in another one.

Go to the station.

how can i tell what glyphs i have? and where would i find a portal to use them? and if i have them, how do i use them with the portal.
bc i found a portal but it didnt take glyphs.

The Map will only show you the path as far as your ship can reach, so, you can either go to the last point you can see, and then more of the path will show up, so you go to that last point, lather, rinse, repeat.

Also, you really should wait until you;'ve collected all of the glyphs before you buy the egg, that way you can use a portal to get there, the egg gives you the exact code to put into the portal.

Using your ship to get there will take a very long time BTW.

Look in "Catalog & Guide / Collected Knowledge / The Atlas / Portal Glyphs" to see which glyphs you have. Every planet has exactly one Portal and you can find it by using a Monolith.

Euclid is the name of the galaxy you start in. There's an inset in the upper left-hand corner of the galaxy map that show an image of the galaxy you're currently in and its name.

The Euclid galaxy is the starting galaxy. There are 255 different galaxies in the game, each with their own name that can be seen when you're in the Warp Map at the top left-hand corner. As far as the Glyphs are concerned, you're best bet are getting them is by talking to a Wandering Traveler at a Space Station. They have a chance to appear at one, so if you don't find one at one Space Station, then warp to another system. They look nothing like a Gek, Vy'keen, or Korvax and and look holographic, too, just speak with them after you first talk to them and ask where they came from, and they'll give you the location of a grave. After you get to the grave, interact with it and you get a glyph. Also, glyphs are given in numerical order and there are 16 of them total.

You can see which galaxy you're in in the top left corner of the map. They have some really odd names. Euclid is the first. With only a couple expedition specific exceptions, you should have started there and your early bases are likely in Euclid. If your base is in a different galaxy, it will be stated under the base's name on any teleporter list. If you're not in Euclid and none of these work for you, just head to the Anomaly. The odds of no one in the Anomaly being in Euclid are almost non-existant, so you should be able to easily teleport to someone's base and go from there.

This, however, makes me think that this isn't your problem. You need at least 12(I think) portal glyphs to get there. There are 16 in total, but you don't need them all. If you haven't finished the Artemis storyline, then you'll need to speak to travellers and find their graves(ask them where they came from). Or you can wait until you finish the story and get your ship later. It'll be there.

ok, so you have all the glyphs. I'm not sure what you meant by "enough symbols" then.

Easiest way to find a monolith/portal is to use one of the 4 standard exocrafts with a fully upgraded scanner. Any of these exocrafts will work, Roamer, Nomad, Colossus, or Pilgrim. You'll need the scanner installed and the 2 upgrades, there's an A and a B, I don't know their exact names, but their's only 2 anyway.

Hop in your exocraft, open the quick menu and choose "scanner". You'll get a list of things it can scan for and the last one on the list is a monolith. Go to the monolith, do the puzzle(it doesn't matter if you succeed or fail), then you'll have to give it a superior faction item for the race that's in control of the system your in. This will be a Vy'keen Effigy, a Gek Relic, or a Korvax Casing. You'll then be pointed strait for the portal for the planet you are on. That portal is also now permanently marked for you whenever you're in that system.

The address should be in the text for the egg if you hover over it, however, it's not clear which symbol is which, you can try to figure it out, or you can google it.

In literal terms? It's a rock.

If you've seen 2001: A Space Odyssey you'll already have some idea of what to expect here but the short answer is that it's big, black and surrounded by Knowledge Stones.

You can stumble across them by accident, scan for them using the aforementioned tools or buy Planetary Charts from the cartography desk at (almost) any space station.

Skipping ahead for a bit, once you've found a Portal you need to interact with the cylinder that pops up at one end of it and supply 'fuel' for each and every glyph before it will allow you to input an actual address.
