How do you get Portal Glyphs?

[EatThatPie]

LOOK BELOW: "UPDATE"
Everyone is saying at a certain part of the story you get portal glyphs. I passed the part where you "collect glyphs" from monoliths and I went through the portal, without the glyphs. I continued a bit after that but later the Artemis story got glitched because it want's me to ask my scientist about a Mind Arc, but my scientist says ''I should leave the Korvax to his business.[Leave]'', So I can no longer continue the Artemis story.

So now i'm stuck. I read about a tip in the guide that you can find graves in caves from other travellers to recieve glyphs. I have been in caves scanning and searching for an hour and I havent found a single grave. So, did i pass the part where you obtain glyphs in the story? Do i need to look harder? Is this a glitch?

I finally got my first glyph, because some I found some random alien in a Trade port thingy and i got it. Unfourtunatley i messed up the system and went straight back to talk to him again. About 2 days later I found another alien in a space station that gave me the first glyph again. I went back to the space station, sold something in the Trade Terminal and went back and it gave me the 2nd glyph. But, once again, i messed up the system and i went to my freighter by mistake.

SO HERE IS HOW YOU GET PORTAL GLYPHS:
1.Find a "Traveller" alien. They can be in space stations, trade ports, and even your own freighter.
2. "Ask them where they came from"(100 Nanites)
3. Find the grave and collect the glyph
4. Go straight back to your ship
5. Go straight back to the space station in that system
6. Go straight to the trade terminal
7. Sell something (You may not have to do this step, idk, just to be safe)
8. Go straight back to the grave (it will be marked with a white circle. I also summoned my freighter above it)
9. If you did the steps correctly, the grave should allow you to "talk" to it again and you will recieved the 2nd glyph.
10.Repeat 3-9 until you unlock all 16 glyphs.
BE CAREFUL TO NOT DO ANYTHING IN BETWEEN THESE STEPS

I have made a video with a location to a glyph near the galactic hub.

Pay the travellers 100 nanites and you get directions. But that's 16 travellers you've got to find and a total of 1,600 nanites. Still, beats wandering around aimlessly for hours on end.

It's ridiculous though that players should to go through such a laborious process to unlock portals. I'd have no problems wandering caves if they were a lot more common, but they are too hard to find.

And HG really needs to update their guide, because advising people to search caves really isn't good enough when there are alternatives.

The new update has changed the info you can get when speaking to non-specialized NPC's on trading posts, on space stations and in shelters etc. It's worth speaking MORE times with them, eventually you have to give them some expensives, but you get good locations. Maybe that's also the way to find a glyph, I don't know, but I will try for sure :)

Yes I noticed that today. Unfortunately they do not work on my freighter base, and I had to relocate them to my old planet base.

I farmed my first 5 glyphs yesterday, and none of them were in a cave. I build my base on a planet with high t9 availabiliy (check npcs for this, each trader in my system sells 1000) so its pretty easy to warp non stop for this. Have not found a faster method to get travellers npcs.

Edit: just having 1 glyph makes portals functional, having two already gives you access to 4096 planets (2^12).

UPDATE: Special thanks to PezKing, I now know how to find Portal gylphs. Turns out you have to completely finish the Artemis story to even have the ability to find glyphs. I seems once you finish it it gives you coordinates for a grave and once you reach it, it gives you ONE glyph and apparently gives you coordinates for the next one.

First part is def wrong. You do not need to finish the quest, you dont even need to start it to be able to find glyphs.

I've spent about 10 hours exclusively looking for glyphs and have only come across two travellers that pointed the way. By that rate of progress it'll be another 70 hours until i get them all. As much as i like this game i'm not doing that. HG really needs to have a better way to find them.

[Cracky McWestside]

In case you get frustrated looking for glyphs there is a glitch: As soon you go to a trading terminal the glyph will be reseted and you can pick it up again. Thats how i got all 16 glyphs yesterday in 1 hour.

[al77ss]

Yeah maybe i'll do that. But i really don't like the idea of having to use exploits to progress the game.

yeah i thought the same way. but after 7 days playing without finding a glyph i was too frustrated to keep looking

[japp_02]

Ok, here's how you get glyphs, but I put this here for reference. Don't read any further if you don't know yet, and only if you get angry and after 50+ hours of play maybe read the spoiler below. Please don't read it before that, try out to get these glyphs by yourself.

People who know for sure please correct me if necessary and I take it out, also I will turn this spoiler in a puzzle or take it out if I get complaints.



In trading posts or space stations, look for these interdimensional aliens. Ok, I say no more...

Hm? Trading terminal? Like the wheatley thing? How do u get glyphs from THERE?

[al77ss]

I think they're saying that once you use a trading terminal you can go back to the glyph and pick it up again. It's an unintended exploit

Wait, wait wait. So I can get a glyph, go to a space station, go to a trading terminal, and then go back to the planet and it will be there?
