No Man's Sky: Atlaspass v1 No Man's Sky Guide
Last update: 20 February 2024
Your conversation with Polo is much less complex, which is not to say it is any less important - quite the contrary. Polo is very much interested in the contents of your database. You only have to share with him your findings and he will provide you with a recipe for Atlaspass v1. During your travels, you have already encountered doors that require these. What you find there will speed up your progression considerably.
To build the access card, you require common materials: 25 units of iron and 10 units of Herridium. What is even more. Atlaspass is an item that you have to produce only once and have on your at all times. In the game, there also are two other cards: Atlaspass v2 and v3. You will have to obtain recipes for those on your own, by checking out production buildings, talking to alien life forms, etc. Each activity thanks to which you can obtain a new piece of technology gives you a chance of obtaining one of the cards. It goes without saying that ransacking of the abandoned outposts and command centers, as well as learning the alien language are worth the effort, because access cards provide you with access to many useful rooms.
You can find a door that can be opened with your newly-obtained card on any space station. It is the door to the left of the runway, i.e. opposite the room with the receptionist. Behind the door, there is a terminal that you can use to increase the number of slots in your inventory. Also, there are different terminals here, and they can provide you with information on multitool upgrades, etc. In both basic rooms in space stations, there also are doors that you can only open with Atlaspass v3. Atlaspass v2 opens many doors of buildings on the surface of planets.
After you reach this point in the game, you can say for the first time that the galaxy is open for you. You are limited in your journey to your final destination only by your inventiveness. Right now, the only thing left to do is push forward, explore new worlds, mine for resources, trade, build new pieces of technology and obtain more and more powerful ships. Starting from now, you will visit many Atlas Interfaces and Space Anomalies, which will speed up your journey into the center of the galaxy even more. Remember that there is no need to hurry - there are so many things in the universe waiting to be discovered. Good luck in your journey!
