Metal Traces in No Man's Sky

Triggering method: Space pulse, you need to pulse a few times. If the pulse is ineffective, you can travel through the galaxy a few times, and a signal will be received in space. After you are connected, someone will prompt you that your settlement is under attack. You only need to teleport back to the settlement to start the "Metal Trace" mission.

After arriving and settling, about eight or nine guards came back. In addition to the original tattered guards, there were also artillery, medics, and bipedal mechas.

After defeating all the guards, pick up the dropped items and you will get a intact drone shell.

Go back to the central console of the Oversight Office, and you will be asked to go to the vision to find the NPC iteration: Tethys.

After a conversation, Tethys said that he can repair it, but he lacks some materials. You need to find other NPCs in Vision to ask for some materials. You need 3 copies per ***, go to Gemini, Paul, and Mercury is collected.

After collecting it, give it to Tetis. He will help you repair the guard, and then let you return to the settlement to activate the test guard.
