I made it to the galaxy's center in permadeath!

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

I'm currently working on the same. About 550k from the galaxy center atm. Just hopping every 2k in my freighter or warping through wormholes.
- Damn, you've got more patience than me! How many jumps do you think that's going to take you?
  
  Around 200ish probably? I need to upgrade my freighter to have more jump range still. Wormholes only seem to move me around 3k-5k ly closer to the core each time. Already got several sentinel ships with about 1k range and am working on getting a living ship rn
Nice work! I did it using the portal method to get close to the center. Even then, it was real hard.
- Yeah, I was working on the missions to get glyphs, but with an eye on player bases at the same time.
  
  I still plan to finish the main story and see how long I can keep my permadeath save alive. It would be cool to build a significant base and get really comfortable, and then heartbreaking to die to something stupid and avoidable one day. :-D
- Fyi the first glyph you get is enough. Just spam that one into a portal and you'll end up within a few jumps of the centre.
  
  I didn’t know that! I work through the story to get most of them and then used a planet that somebody posted for an unrelated reason that was close to the center.
Nice work. Congratulations!
- Thanks! I'm glad I got hooked again. :-)
