To allow the community to function as a searchable index of discoveries, please adhere to these posting requirements:

One item per post
Glyphs must be provided
No automated (bot) finds
Be polite and respectful.
As Lemmy currently lacks "flair", the post title for discoveries must be prefixed with discovery/galaxy:, where discovery is one of: starship, fabricated starship, multitool, freighter, derelict freighter, fauna, flora, planet, base, farm (e.g. starship/Euclid: or multitool/Eissentam:)
Guide and resource posts should be prefixed with Guide/discovery: or Resource/discovery:
Ship requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or galactic coordinates, and picture of the ship.
Fabricated Ship requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or galactic coordinates, image with supercharged slot arrangement.
Crashed, Sunken Ship, and Living Ship requirements: Include planetary coordinates and the planet's name.
Multi-tool requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or planetary coordinates, a picture of the MT, instructions for how to obtain the multitool, and planetary coordinates for planetside cabinets. Staff finds must include the assembly location and staff head.
Base/farm requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or galactic coordinates, picture of the base, and the base's name.
Planet requirements: Galaxy, glyphs or planetary coordinates, a picture of the planet, and the planet's biome.

Use of "standard" part names for ships is strongly encouraged.

Ehbogdenbu - Synthetic Creatures (lemmy.ca)

Doing the Galaxy tour, and got distracted (again) passing through #34 (hex 21) Ehbogdenbu. Saw a prime candidate for synthetic creatures and discovered the biggest walking tower I've encountered in the wild! 6.8m tall. It's a bit out of the way I suppose, but they are a wonder to behold.

The planet has aggressive sentinels, so I built a base. It should simplify pacifying the local sentinels.

The darker walker isn't native to the planet, that's the mysterious pet I picked up somewhere, but it is pretty much the same height.

Hex address 107E-0700-7007.

Currently named "Bastion Walker 6.8" but open to suggestions.

Traveller for scale

Two walking towers

I've played No Man's Sky for quite some hours and didn't know about these! I've never done an expedition (I hate starting over in games, I just like to explore and have all my things set up nice and tidy...) but damn it... Now I'm going to need to try these things. >:(

Thank you for the post!

You don't need to do an expedition to find these guys, although I personally enjoy doing them (and redoing them).

These guys aren't in the starting galaxy, so you won't be able to visit them until you're pretty far along in galaxy hopping. I have some glyphs in Euclid for some pretty big walkers, just not this big. I'll dig them up and do another post.

I was scrolling on All, so I will try to keep an eye out for your next post!

Thank you for the explanation, I usually just hop to a new system, scan with the mother ship (I've forgotten the darn name) planet scanner, hit up the local space station to learn a few new words, and then see if any of the planets look cool enough to explore for a bit, then rinse and repeat. It's probably a dumb way to play, but I like to be a nomad I guess? :P

That's pretty much the "correct" way to play. Hence "Traveller" or wanderer.

The "Galaxy tour" is just an extension of that playstyle. Make your way to the centre of the galaxy, travel to the next galaxy, repeat, with detours to check out interesting diversions.

To search for synthetic creatures like these, you'll want an Emeril or Indium drive in order to visit green or blue stars.

If you have the scanner, you can also look for uninhabited systems. Once in the green or blue uninhabited system, look for planets with 2,3 or 4 lifeforms. Synthetic creatures do not apparently coexist with "regular" creatures, so if you see one of the standard flyers in the distance, you can move onto the next planet.

The big walkers are great for exploring a planet, it will move along, giving you a good vantage point for you to scan. These really big walkers might be too tall, strictly speaking, but once you've ranged across an alien landscape astride your towering steed it's tough to settle for a lesser mount.

I'm reminded of "Howl's Moving Castle", and by support base is "Howl's Observatory".

I'll post the Euclid walker planet later tonight when I get home, if I can find the screenshot. Safe journeys Traveller!

Dang! You really know a lot about this game! I need to get on your level!
