No les encantaria que el juego lograra algo asi?😅 , esto es lo unico que se puede hacer con una mascota defectuosa, unas buenas fotos en acción

Triple S Class

Finally found a helmut crab creature. Would love to find one that's SSS.

Finally found one - on a planet i discovered 8 years ago 🥰 (should really revisit all of my old bases)

Planeta marino, Megafauna basada en energia, gigantes etereos, curiosos, no temen acercarse al nautilo o al piloto que se arriesgue a nadar a esa profundidad, hermosos animales, se pueden registrar en los archivos de exploracion del planeta pero no se pueden adquirir como mascota acompañante 🤔 glifos al pie de las fotos.

battle stats uninteresting, but quite a specimen -- and a biggun - that's me next to its foot

It's on beautiful paradise galaxy 199 glyphs in Pic for better view

Many sols ago, I read this post by u/BradicalSevenSeven (https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyQuest/s/wMMM1gJMdM ) and was fascinated to see up-close photos of titan worms. Until then, I had experienced these giants with mild terror and it didn’t occur to me to approach them.

So began my obsession with observing and photographing titan worms. I have since devoted most of my game time to this activity across two saves.

Ultimately, I built a set of viewing platforms to observe and photograph my favourite subspecies of titan worms. I posted each of them separately, but here are links to all seven bases, each to observe a different subspecies:

Bone worm, infested paradise planet, Euclid (1) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/TQrFhKiJub

Arrakis type, terrosphere planet, Doctinawyra (20) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/0b38TYwHC9

Round mouth, infested paradise planet, Doctinawyra (20) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/6BOkZb8IKt

Glow worm, xeno colony planet, Ekwathore (23) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/VMbRMDWYr5

Sarlacc type, xeno colony planet, Ekwathore (23) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/Yr0JbRBrqb

Lips type, terrosphere planet, Venessika (132) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/cEuU9IZ8GA

Dragon head, caustic nightmare planet, Venessika (132) galaxy: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/s/4vvH8QGYy6

I didn’t build any for the fish head subspecies of worm, as u/AKADIAN_22 already has a great viewing platform in Euclid galaxy with an active local fish head worm named Gary: https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Zoology/s/yphvXyaorA

Nor did I search for for the stubby or fang head subspecies, as I find these less visually interesting.

I built my seven bases on PS5 in normal difficulty. The bases are small, basic and vanilla, so should render easily.

For each base, I surveyed the worm’s usual flight path and chose a location that offers unobstructed views and the occasional close encounter.

So charge your hazard protection, land, save, reload, sit and enjoy the show!

For those who are interested to know a bit more about my titan worm obsession...

I first sought to understand on what planet types I could find titan worms – the infested biome. “Infested” is an obvious tag that can spawn for any planet biome. But there are other less obvious names for infested versions of each planet biome. Below is a link to the list of infested planet names compiled on the NMS wiki. My favourite is Terrosphere! Boiling Doom sounds pretty cool too.

Once landed on an infested planet, you typically don’t have to wait long to hear the local titan worm crash into view and try to scare you off. Early on, I learned to quickly engage photo mode when I heard the crash, or to jump back in my ship and fly alongside the jumping worm to shoot photos.

From here, I read about the subspecies of titan worms themselves. Visually, I find it easiest to distinguish each subspecies by its head type. The NMS wiki lists nine head types:

1. Arrakis head: a triple-jaw maw, resembling the immortal worms from the Dune films

2. Stubby head: like the Arrakis, but with three stubbier jaws

3. Sarlacc head: a menacing whirlpool of teeth, resembling the pit worm into which Jabba made prisoners walk the plank

4. Round mouth: no head or jaws, the cylindrical body of this worm ends in a circle of teeth

5. Fanged mouth: like the abrupt end of the round mouth subspecies, but with small tusk-like fangs on the sides of the mouth

6. Lips head: for me, the creepiest-looking subspecies, with its eyeless head and lip appendages that make its mouth look as if it’s sewn half-shut

7. Dragon head: unmistakable, this worm has antler-like horns, three little dots for eyes, an elaborate snout and often two big fins behind its head

8. Glow worm: also unmistakable, this worm has one giant glowing eye, like a gargantuan version of the abyssal horror’s hypnotic eye

9. Fish head: self-explanatory, this worm has a large fish head with dull, unmenacing eyes and fins just behind the head

The wiki doesn’t list the tenth type – the skeletal bone worm. I guess this is because these aren’t living worms? Anyway, the bone worm seems to have just one head type and resembles an aquatic skeleton with an elaborate snout, fins and a fish tail.

Altogether, photographing titan worms continues to be a rewarding end-game obsession for me in No Man’s Sky. Warping from system to system to find infested planets, landing to see what subspecies of worm lives there and then following its flight path to locate the best viewpoint for photographing the big beast – what fun!

A few small tips from my experience (and preference) for anyone trying to locate the best viewpoint to photograph titan worms:

1. Test possible locations by dropping a save beacon, saving and reloading. Titan worms are curious and they always jump nearby when you exit your ship or reload. By trial and error you’ll find a spot that is reliably near their flight path.

2. Avoid high points if you want close encounters and photos. Titan worms only fly so high, so from the top of a mountain you’ll definitely see them, but far below you.

3. Avoid flat areas too, as the plant and mineral formations on infested planets are large and often dense, which blocks the field of view in valleys or plains.

4. I like to build on mid-level hills or slopes, or on the coast, for unobstructed views, and for the possibility that the worm will leap overhead or crash nearby.

No Man’s Sky is such a great game, with many opportunities to explore your interests. In my case, photographing titan worms is such a rewarding activity! Enjoy, Traveller!

Bless the Maker and His water.
Bless the coming and going of Him.
May His passage cleanse the world.
May He keep the world for His people.

Hey yall, I hope everyones well. I have been searching for a worm for quite some time now with this specific tail (the head and all that doesnt matter, just the tail) and I did try going to the discord servers that help with stuff like this, but I was unlucky and left. So i was wondering if theres someone out there who has a worm with this tail, and if I could get an egg

One of the more visually appealing instances I've seen of these -- most are monochrome or maybe one other color somewhere, but this one has a nice color variation across different parts - and adorable sleepy eyes
