AI is advancing at a speed that we don’t or even able to understand. Then, why is it that Siri or Alexa can’t handle a simple conversation whenever I feel a bit Skynet? Well, that’s a disappointing interaction, but someday we will get to be friends with a completely lifeless image or chat, I don’t think we are far from that. Well, No Man’s Sky certain don’t. Yet again, they are able to travel through galaxies and fly through black holes, so that’s that. Anyway, here is how to get the Holographic Friend for base in No Man’s Sky.
How to Get Holographic Friend for Base
In order to get this Holographic Friend which will inhabit your base and humor you forever, no matter what, you will have to do some work in the Utopia Expedition, the ninth Expedition available in No Man’s Sky. The Expedition is divided into 5 Phases, which in turn are made up of several missions that are milestones you will have to accomplish. If you really want this Holo Friend of yours, then you are in luck, since it is one of the first rewards you will get during your time at Utopia. You will only have to complete Phase 2, after completing Phase 1 of course. You will be rewarded with the Holographic Friend Plans. Just go ahead and build it, and you will be good to go. You will find all the milestones belonging to Phase 2 below.

As you can see, these milestones are quite similar to Phase 1, and they will repeat slightly during the next Phases. It is all about the small changes and the difficulty spike, but training yourself all the way to the rewards is the way to go. So, if all goes right, you will have a friendly hologram for the rest of time. I wish you the best of lucks, and congrats on making a new friend.
