Is there a complete message contained in Harmonic Scraps?
Hi,

I know about the ACSII message from the harmonic scraps but have been working on, possibly, putting together the actual transcript message pieces each Autophage speaks before we feed the unit.
Has anyone else been looking to see if this forms a complete message? If yes, how far have you got in identifying what it might say. Or, does anyone know if the complete script these phrases come from is available (and what it says)?

I have split the bits I have found into areas of reference as below.

1. There are number sequences that are; lists of Primes (3 so far), another that lists Weird numbers, one that contains Magic Constant numbers, and, of course, the ever memorable "-16-".
2. Two messages refer to the "forgotten moons of Korvax Prime" and " the junkyard moons".
and there are scraps that talk of "pockets of sentience left behind"..."still bear the stamp of our birthplace".
3. Interesting to me are the phrases: "we can free them"..."we can extract them"..."we can save them"..."drink their foam"..."help ourselves to the best of all technology"
4. references to a cult: "defy the cult"..."defy deference"..."all hardware is imperfect"..."no memory deserves erasure".."the pugneum that greases our joints"
5. "Alpha through Omega"

It may be that this all refers to the availability of sentinel ship technology and what is currently in game, but could it be further references to things to come?

BTW: there are harmonic scraps scattered across some planets that are not by ships or camps. Design or bug?
I have found one scrap that I was unable to feed to get at the binary code within (also possibly bugged).

I'm pretty sure you're the leading expert on these scraps. Keep up the good work and report back with your findings :steamthumbsup:

I pasted two lines into chat GPT, and the first message translated to "Don't trust the Gek! Ever!" The second read, "Play NMS with a beer!"

When will "AI" become a verb?

Unfortunately it's all just Gek to me. :nmsgek:

Did you ever find any numbers higher than 11 but lower than 17? I'm wondering if they don't exist, and that 17 is marked as ???? purely because it's higher than 16,

As far as I know, 12 to 15 have not appeared in game yet. I have now checked a couple of hundred (at least) crash sites and camps; I still haven't seen those numbers.

Ask chatGPT and tell us what it 'sAId'... :D

Boring answer:

"While it is common for nouns to be verbed in the English language, such as "email" or "google," the process of a noun becoming a verb depends on its adoption and usage within the language community."

Ah, you found the rare 'Alpha and Omega" one? I have only seen this one ONCE.
As well as the "-16-"? I've found this one only twice now...

I've been collecting all of these messages, with pics for proofs, and I've also found another rare one, which is pretty much equivalent to the '16' one.... "{{ - Kzzktk - }}"

When I found one the first time I got message five or six or whatever and assumed there must be something waiting for me if I find every message on this planet. So I did, and I spent like 2 hours doing it. Could have been way longer with bad RNG.

You know what was waiting for me at the end of the rainbow? A sentinel pissing in my Cheerios and no loot.
