THE NOUSFARER FIELD GUIDE
Your Ship & Collections
Use the ship as a home for expeditions, your explorer, and the objects you discover.
Your ship connects exploration with a growing personal collection. Return between journeys to choose another destination, visit Copilot, and spend time with the works you have encountered.
The Bridge
The helm opens navigation through galaxies, systems, and planets. Copilot helps you plan an expedition. The Tree of Knowledge is another way to inspect category galaxies and depart toward an available destination.
Approach the tree and use Inspect tree or the E prompt. Select an available category to depart, or close the inspection to stay aboard. A category appearing on the tree does not guarantee that its destinations are currently available to play.
Your Explorer
Create your explorer at the start of the journey and use the character customization options to change their appearance. Institute rewards add to your collection as you study. Follow the reward and wardrobe panels to see what you have earned and can equip.
Progress is built around the institutes you choose to study. You do not need to finish an entire planet or galaxy before following a different interest.
The Personal Museum
The museum is available from the beginning of play. Visit the Nousdex console to manage your collection and displays. As you encounter and collect works, use the available display choices to make the ship your own.
Occupied sculpture pedestals support inspection and reading. The adjoining Monument Observatory displays architectural works. Art and objects have their own histories: take time to inspect a work and read about it, alongside the concepts you study in institutes.
Some works ask you to read their record and answer a question to unlock the digital study model for a compatible museum display. Follow the object’s own prompt; simply seeing a work does not always unlock it.
An empty display is space for a collection, not a missing lesson or a requirement to clear a planet.
The ship’s Concordance Chamber opens after you earn three feathers. See Quick Trial & Multiplayer for its public match and private co-op options.
Continue with Copilot & Expeditions when you are ready for another voyage.
