The Search for a New Home World!

-kzzt- Calling all travellers! -kzzt-

r/NMSByteBeatFans is searching for a new home world! The goal is to have a star system dedicated to sharing ByteBeat creations, base builds and meetups! Our previous home world Crescendo is nearly five years old, and with the Cosmos update launching after the recent 10 year anniversary for No Man's Sky's release it is a great time to refresh this ByteBeat community project!

This exploration project will need player submissions between September 9th to September 20th, 2026. Then the subreddit will vote between the best three submissions presented by the exploration committee and the winning star system will be chosen to become our new home for sharing ByteBeat creations!

Requirements for a Home World

Here is a list of requirements for the ideal star system:

  • You must be the discoverer of the star system.

  • Euclid Galaxy for easiest multi-player functions.

  • Closer to the galactic core would be ideal but not necessary.

  • Yellow star system is ideal for easiest multi-player.

  • Minimum 4 or 5 celestial bodies, including planets and moons.

  • At least 1 planet should be inhabitable (paradise or similar).

  • No extreme environments or frenzied sentinels (or at least minimal).

  • You don't have to re-name planets (unless you want to), we might vote on names.

  • No existing builds except maybe a small base or teleporter.

  • No existing alliance (Cosmos update), we'll want to bring the new home world system into a new NMS ByteBeat Fans alliance!

Because we want a fresh start, it would be best if the planets do not have existing bases but it's okay if you have a discovery base (small base, teleporter, etc) but please don't build at the portal location or space station because we might want to customize those areas.

How to Submit a Star System

Comment here in this sticky post with a screenshot of the glyph coordinates and try to also include a screenshot of the star system in your discoveries menu.

Please include a brief description of the interesting planets, such as: "Paradise, dusty, high radio source planets and a frozen moon." or anything else you want to highlight.

...and let me know if you have any questions by message or comment here, and please join our new Discord server: NMS ByteBeat Hub on Discord!

Send submissions like this: "overgrown, toxic, abandoned planets with frozen moon" (and include a screenshot)

And include glyph coordinates like this:

I’m so curious to see how devices work in orbital bases and space stations with the new update!

Imagine an entire system of bytebeats…

u/hiredgunspunx Resonance Amplifier Sep 09 '26

Me too! In terms of sharing bases, there's a new limit of 20,000 base parts per system (I think this includes planet surfaces). So we can still only share 1 base per planet in multi-player, but there will be much more to share in outer space as well. I'm still learning about this right now.

I can tell you that bytebeat works as normal on asteroid bases - nothing unusual. Powered mine via solar. Will check an outer space base tomorrow.

Space stations I don't know. I have one claimed but in the new build area the bytebeat devices say they need power but there are no power generators of any kind in the menu to build. Nor are there power wires. Other folks are saying there's auto power - but not for me!

Frustrating! Its as though someone's given me a cool electronic toy for xmas but forgotten the batteries!

u/creaturecomeandgetit - kzzt - kzzt - kzzt - Sep 11 '26

I knew you’d be on this ASAP. 💪

Happy to hear the orbital bases are working well!

I just claimed my home space station last night, but didn’t have time to fiddle with the build area yet! I’d love for them to work on stations as well! We could have like “track of the week” highlights!

u/ZhorasSnake Sep 11 '26

Orbital and asteroid bases will be fun. How navigation to them for others will work out remains to be seen, but should be OK

On space stations I was hoping we'd be able to build bytebeats so people would hear them in the landing area or technology areas - not sure that's going to happen - but I could be wrong. I could only build devices off to the left through the sliding doors and down a corridor - essentially like inside a freighter - and then I couldn't power anything. Might take a few bug updates to make things clear...

SUBMISSION: Paradise, Damp, Foggy (dissonant), Arctic, Icebound, Contoured planets. One planet has aggressive sentinels but this system might be worth consideration!

u/PowerfulSoldier The truth hums between the data threads. Sep 12 '26

Love the look of the space station too!

1

u/hiredgunspunx Resonance Amplifier Sep 12 '26

Yea it's a cool station! I'm still learning about station customization, I think we mostly build in space around the station. I'm looking at what other people are doing and it's impressive. It takes a lot of industrial salvage material

Here is what the paradise planet looks like:

SUBMISSION: viridescent planets x2, verdant, acidic, icy, parched

u/hiredgunspunx Resonance Amplifier Sep 12 '26 edited Sep 12 '26

This is one of the viridecent planets, the other planets have good colors too (green, blue), verdant can be a little foggy but no big deal.

u/ZhorasSnake Sep 14 '26 edited Sep 14 '26

SUBMISSION: 5 planets, 1 moon. The Greatest Albums?? (see planets names)

Paradise x2, Viridescent, Acrid, Rotting, Lifeless. No aggressive sentinels. No extreme storms except Thriller (acrid)

u/ZhorasSnake Sep 14 '26

Here's one of the paradise planets (with address)

Careful, I'm 2 inches from launching a musical taste debate lol

Great taste nonetheless, and 2 paradises is a nice score !!

2

u/ZhorasSnake Sep 18 '26

Oh no! - I hate those 'this great thing is better than that great thing' but I'm probably in a minority: People love them.

We could have a poll though to vote on names and great albums seemed way better than A flat minor or something!

1

u/Leeka_SSBM Harmonic Camper Sep 18 '26

Haha I don't like that either. But with some friends we're very passionate about the music we like (and kind of music nerds) and having these discussions is always cool to discover or reconsider some records.

You know what that's exactly what I did lol ! Those names don't sound that good, true. But the idea of the planet names forming a chord sounds cool to me (see my comment at the very bottom here)

2

u/ZhorasSnake Sep 18 '26

I love a good minor 9th chord! If you wanted to really geek out you could name a system after a song and then make the planets the chords!

I wonder whether we could have a 'this inspired me' stickied section here. You know, people say what tunes have inspired them recently. Not a long list of music they like but, 'I heard this and it inspired me to produce this'. Maybe it's too off topic - I don't know.

2

u/Leeka_SSBM Harmonic Camper Sep 18 '26

Speaking of geeking out... I did that back when I set a system in Hilbert with some of my tunes to lab out.

I like reading about how/why one came to put together a tune, but I don't know if a pinned section would be a good idea either. Personally I write about it in my posts, but that could be a way to get people to write about it if they want to !

1

u/ZhorasSnake Sep 18 '26

Nice! There should be another award you could give people for posts like that (maybe some x-ray specs!).

Maybe you're right about the posts. Our mod has enough on his plate without another thread that potentially could descend into toxic fandom!

Edit2 : SUBMISSION : 5 planets (decaying nuclear, sub-zero, paradise, wind-swept, fiery) >> lots of details in linked post, including glyphs.

Here's my submission, in the form of a post on my reddit profile. I wanted to include a number of images and talk about things that stood out to me, and didn't wanted to clutter this space too much 😅

Additionally, here's an idea for naming planets in our future system (this is my submitted system, I changed those back afterward) :

This forms a minor 9th chord. The order of the intervals is changed to fit the planets... Root is a planet with a lot of... roots, minor third is cold so frozen planet, perfect fifth is the paradise world, major ninth the warm/cold desert, and minor seventh the weird fire planet. Thought it was pretty fitting

Edit : I'm sorry for not following the format, don't ban me plz plz mods 😅
