An old folk's experience in Expedition 3 Redux... [Information]
First, I modified my Xbox Name to get an another exotic than the one I got in Expedition 3 Original.
I got a red TriWings with only one thruster, rear and front spikes, that will be ok if not perfect.
I also disabled multiplayer and every pvp or base modifying stuff, old monkey habits😉
Then I discovered the new spawning planet... Very different than the original one with very few ferrite dust rocks as said in many other posts and very few ammonia sources too even with Ammonia Deposits!
So I had to learn how to use Rusted Metal I found in the green boxes, refining it in ferrite dust.
Carbon was everywhere, Oxygen not too hard to get with plants and Killer plants.
Copper was everywhere so it was rather easy to get Chromatic Metal by refining it.
Storm cristals everywhere too.
The weather was not so bad except one time when I was on the top of a mountain and lightning strikes spots where following me for too long for my taste...
Then the hunt began to find elements to repair the ship, nothing close of course, I first adopted a kind of antelope that made the long walks easier and faster essentially to gather minimal resources.
Luckily it was not long to get access to the Minotaur and its scanner.
Adding the help of a few maps got me one target, a trade center, 1 hour away. With the mech it took me something like half an hour of bothering jumps in the mountains to get there.
On the way, close to the target I found a lake where I found the 3 sulphide cristals needed with the help of the Minotaur that is not bad to quickly search a lake!
The trading center was one of those jokes with only a trade terminal with nothing useful at all, even the pilots landing there had nothing... And, of course, you couldn't buy one of their ships neither!
Luckily there was another building very close that had a mechanical parts...
