I was one of the lucky people who also got food for Mr. Noodles (later re-identified as Ms. Noodles), as well as a classic scifi book, Nine Tomorrows by Asimov
Prized possessions. Having old rabbit foot as a prized possession feels kinda weird, but sometimes your destiny is handed to you, you are not always given a choice.
The game has a lot of strange limits like that. Like allowing only 10 Message Modules, where Minecraft worlds allow infinite signs (or at least such a high number that, when you search how many are allowed, you can't really find an answer). Or only allowing you to store 16 Personal Wonders, even though they're just stored seed values, which are also about as simple as storing a text string.
Nice! The one on the upper-left does it for me. Glowing red, Sith-style diplo logo? Yes
Right? I've never had anything even close to that with any other game.
Atlantid Multi-tools can only be obtained if you have already

It's a brand-new feature! All previous Expeditions required a new save.

The Galactic Hub Project
Largest & Oldest Active Civilization
11,000+ Player Bases, 77,000+ Subreddit Subscribers, 12,000+ Discord Members
The Galactic Hub Project, founded October 2016, is Euclid's multiplayer hotspot. With a greater concentration of players than anywhere else in No Man's Sky, there's no better location to experience Civilized Space gameplay!
A few of our features include:
Chapters - The Galactic Hub has a variety of sub-organizations called Chapters, like the GH Exobiology Corps (focused on fauna), the GH Defense Force (focused on defense & combating griefers), the GH Star League (focused on hosting multiplayer "simulation sports" competitions), & more!
Colonies - In the Hub, colonies are communities of multiple players collaborating in some way. This always includes building bases, which are often built under the same theme. Colonies may be as big as a whole system, or as small as a single trade post. The most active colonies are managed by Governors. Governors are interlopers who volunteer to run a colony. A governor's main focus is keeping their colony active - this often involves writing missions or hosting events for their colonists. Some colonies even have Mayors, which manage even smaller communities known as Territories within a Colony. Anyone may set up their own colony in Hub space and act as a Governor!
Multiplayer Events - From laid-back Social Nights to the NMS take on eSports Star League, the Galactic Hub has multiplayer social events nearly every week - sometimes multiple each week. Come meet your neighbors!
Economy - The GH has its own native currency, HubCoin. It is rewarded exclusively for activity representing the Galactic Hub on various platforms (Reddit, Discord, Wiki, YouTube). HubCoin is never available for sale for dollars, pounds, etc - "real world money" is never required or involved. HubCoin is used to facilitate a metagame economy. For example, to earn coin, players can open their own Businesses with in-game locations in Hub space. To spend coin, players might browse our Discord server's Marketplace and buy goods like custom ships, custom companions, services-of-convenience (ie construction materials), or even 100%-free real-world Hub merch. (Real-world merch availability may vary.)
Canonization - Hello Games was kind enough to canonize the Galactic Hub. In other words, we're official in-game content! The "Pilgrim" title can only be unlocked by visiting our old capital planet, New Lennon. Our emblem can be purchased at the QuickSilver store as a base decal or player banner. We're also referenced in the Mission Board and the dialogue of a Traveller, as well as being referenced in the Waking Titan ARG!
That's just a quick look at some of our features. We also have interactions with other civilizations, we're a founding member of the United Federation of Travelers, and much more - but above all else, what really defines the Galactic Hub is our thriving and friendly community. Join us and find your new home in the stars!
Unification Day is a semi-canon, semi-fanmade holiday, which has historically involved civilizations across the simulation. If you're unfamiliar with the history of Unification Day, you're encouraged to learn more about it here!
This year, Unification Day has been organized as a 28-hour base tour with a variety of activities and social events. That means there is no single "Unification Day System" as in past years. We believe this will provide an ideal format to highlight the builds which civilizations put the most time, effort, and spirit into: those in their home-space claims.
While the holiday is all about celebrating civilized space, Unification Day is not a holiday exclusive to members of civilizations. If you're a lone traveler looking to try out some new activities and meet some new people, you're just as welcome here as anyone else!
A current copy of the schedule can be found here. All times are in UTC. Locations will be added soon.
The schedule is still being discussed by the Unification Day Planning Council (the heads / staff of involved civilizations). All scheduled events are subject to change for at least the next week. I'll post any updates in both the Discord server and future Unification Day Reddit posts.
The schedule includes exocraft races, starship PVP, on-foot team deathmatches in a city-sized PVP map, a huge variety of minigames like shield wrestling and a maze escape, art and museum tours, and tons of social events and general base tours. The goal was to represent as many civilizations as possible while also providing the greatest variety of activities as possible.
All rules apply to both voice chat and regular messages.
Uploading bases in any of these systems could result in negative impacts for that civilization, like decreased rendering reliability or even the entire base no longer showing for visitors. These civilizations are trying to provide a fun time for everyone, please respect their space
Added to the sidebar!
Sounds like it'll have even more of a multiplayer focus than No Man's Sky does!
I can't wait to see everyone there, and you know the Galactic Hub is already making plans for our sister-group to be based on the new planet.
I think Hello Games is doing something big behind the scenes. Last Expedition was the worst one so far imo, it was the first one to have ZERO narrative of any kind, 100% just chores and fetch quests. PC received an Experimental update weeks ago that Console still hasn't received. And this next update represents part 4 out of 4 of the Void Mother narrative, the grand finale.
All of that makes me feel like a lot of the core team is working on something else.
So I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I will say, to me, it's another indication that something huge is on the way.
Personally, as someone who has unlocked every single Expedition item legitimately, I think exclusivity culture is lame and dumb. I don't like these things more just because I know other people don't have them. If anything, it makes me feel slightly guilty for using them lmao

ARE YOU A SWITCH PLAYER? Disappointed you can't do much in the Hub? Check out Miskatonic City, a first-of-its-kind NMS-RPG based in the Hub. It's meant to be played offline, so it's perfect Hub content for Switch players.
PLEASE CONTACT THE GOVERNOR OF ANY COLONY IN HUB SPACE BEFORE UPLOADING A BASE IN THE COLONY SYSTEM. The easiest way to do this is in the corresponding colony channel of the Galactic Hub Discord.
Genesis Colony - Genesis is based on the beautiful lush planet of Kansfiel Omega. Players will band together to struggle to survive in the harshest iteration of the simulation known to interloper-kind. Genesis Colony's Sentinel Annihilation Service has also been known to dispatch exploration teams to seek out additional locations in Hub space suitable to Permadeath inhabitation.
Asphodel Colony - Asphodel colony focuses on a fantasy theme with heavy influences from Greek mythology. It is a roleplaying colony but this is not essential, we just mean that faction vs faction does not relate to any in-game or real life wars or politics. It is encouraged to create a character backstory of your choosing to fit the narrative and the lore of your chosen faction. In Asphodel, you can let your imagination run wild and allow yourself to play as either your chosen in-game race or take inspiration from the fantasy genre and play as anything you like. Maybe you want to be a witch or a fae? How about a gnome or an ogre? The world is your oyster, we just have one rule for your backstory and that is that we won't allow overpowered backstories, like gods or demi-gods, it just takes away from the overall narrative.

You are invited to Miskatonic City, a first-of-its-kind NMS-RPG narrative featuring over 500 lines of original dialogue and 26 NPCs to interact with. (This is a visiting-only system! Please do not drop a base here.)
Venture to the swamps of Miskatonic City, a former logging town now under the influence of a mysterious biotechnical company. Solve the mystery threatening the city and decide the fate of Miskatonic, with multiple quests all converging into the same ultimate decision. Plus a few side quests!
Collect Halloween-themed companions, earn HubCoin, and unlock the location of a new colony as you progress through the city and meet more of its residents.
Join the #miskatonic-city-👻 channel by selecting the 👻 emoji in the #colony-role-select channel of the Galactic Hub Project Discord. This will give you the "Miskatonic City Visitor" role, allowing you to discuss the narrative with other interlopers. Try to avoid spoilers, but anyone reading the #miskatonic-city-👻 channel does so at their own risk!
Aspects of it will probably be confusing to you otherwise.
To avoid any rendering issues and preserve space for possible future NMS-RPG in the system, please do not upload a base anywhere in the Miskatonic City system. We'd love to have you elsewhere in Hub space, and the colony you can unlock through Miskatonic City has room for tons of people!
(NOTE: The post-game is not done yet. ~~Can you tell I'm a real Fallout New Vegas fan?~~ This means after you complete the final mission, the features and conversations unlocked as a result of the quest will not work properly yet. I'm going to try to finish this before anyone gets that far, but we're too far into spooky season to delay launch any longer. 🧛🏻🦇)
I did but Automod just removed my post with the reason, "One item per post, please, so that the subject line can function as a searchable index". Probably won't go through the effort of reposting tbh.
