So in what way is the hilbert dimension different then the euclid galaxy?
uncut harness
There are 4 types of galaxies, each type has a different chance of spawning planets with given biomes in yellow star systems
I see both Euclid and Hilbert are of the same type, so there's not much in terms of difference
And if you reach hilbert core you get to next one
uncut harness
Yes, by reaching the core of N-th galaxy you get teleported to (N+1)-th galaxy
solar thistle
Okay so, what i need to do know for the main story is to go to the Galactic core or whatever its called, if i do that, is the main story over?
tame grotto
Okay so, what i need to do know for the main story is to go to the Galactic core...
With Artemis questline? Once you're given a choice to another galaxy, yes, that main story is over. It's a couple of steps after The Purge (forget the exact quest names).
You can follow the path to the Galactic Core via the Galaxy Map (whatever it's called). Another way is finishing the Artemis questline which rewards you glyphs you need for traveling with Portals, some health tech, and a choice to another galaxy (at the very end). I do recommend doing and finishing the Atlas quest around The Purge step (when you can multi-task by warping for Atlas path, while also obtaining a glyph per warp).
More info below on how to make the jump to another galaxy...

Ok now for what I intended to say || the reason we never find any cities is because the part of the galaxy we play in is what the prime races call the Outer Edge ||
mental socket
I thought it was because sentinels destroyed all cities
icy citrus
Yeah
gusty berry
I thought it's because it's too laggy
bronze delta
|| The sentinels probably destroyed Vy'keen cities, but the Vy'keen destroyed gek first spawn cities, while the gek destroyed Korvax cities, but the newer cities aren't in the Outer Edge which is why we never find any ||
icy citrus
You don't need to hide stuff in this channel
bronze delta
Very well
With that logic, that means the sentinels would destroy archives, space stations, resource depots, manufacturing facilities, and trading posts, but they seem to actually defend them
solar thistle
Okay so, im at the end of the main story, i think, i either gotta reset the simulation or refuse the atlas, whats gonna happen if i choose to reset the simulation? :)
sudden pond
nothing is actually reset in any way, you just go to a new galaxy
if you decide not to reset now, you can always go to a new galaxy by going through the core
deep parrot
So, the story is basically Simulation Theory, yeah?
sudden pond
pretty much
solar thistle
So it doesnt really matter if i choose to reset the simulation?
sudden pond
nope
solar thistle
ok :)
sudden pond
like i said, nothing is actually reset
you can always return to the first galaxy by teleporting to bases etc. make sure you make a base in the new galaxy tho
solar thistle
ok :) thanks!
I reset the simulation but idk where my starship is
Oh wait nevermind
i just had to repair my scanner
sudden pond
@solar thistle ohp right i forgot to warn you jumping to a new galaxy would break everything ^^;
sudden pond
sorry about that, you could have avoided a lot of the damage =S

aaa do I upload artemis to the simulation or allow them to die

the first time I saw the option ... let's just say there's no objectively or morally good answer
versed flower
is galaxy travel sequential or random?
final ivy
is galaxy travel sequential or random?
Sequential.
versed flower
ok that's what I thought based on this "Players start in galaxy 1, Euclid, and travel through galaxies in order" from https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Galaxy
but I recall (it was a while ago by now) last time I finished story, I chose reset and don't I get a choice whether I want to go to e.g. Harsh vs Lush galaxy?
or maybe I'm misremembering, but if it's sequential then it seems maybe it's not 100% sequential? like are the galaxy types grouped in groups of 4 or something?
final ivy
Ah yeah, that can jump you to the next Lush, Normal, Harsh or Empty, depending on which galaxy you're starting from. Only happens once per game.
versed flower
yeah I was looking at the order
so it's not randomized, but it's not 100% sequential
final ivy
Right. If you core jump, you go from one to the next. If you Reset, then it isn't sequential.
The galaxy types aren't equal, no ... there's a pattern, but there's more Normals and fewer of the others.
versed flower
what's core jump? is that just travel to the galactic center basically? and switch galaxies that way (something I haven't done yet)
final ivy
Yes
versed flower
ok, so if core jump then I get no choice? it will always be exactly sequential? or does it give me a choice still of Lush vs Harsh on core jump as well?
final ivy
No, just the next one up.
versed flower
ok, so if I want the choice I should do story and choose reset?
final ivy
Yes.
versed flower
ok awesome thanks
can I travel/teleport back to my frigate/freighter from galaxy to galaxy or only to planetary bases?
dull abyss
Freighters can be brought between galaxies
tame grotto
can I travel/teleport back to my frigate/freighter from galaxy to galaxy or only...
like Zording mentioned, you can bring them along to any galaxy/system...
versed flower
ah, how does that work? I remember when I did reset I don't think it brought my freighter/frigate along
icy citrus
You summon it from your quick menu

versed flower
why should I play expeditions? like what is the general incentive (aside from rewards I guess) to begin an expedition game instead of a normal survival game? i.e. what is the intended goal or user experience?
it feels very Destiny like with the reset every couple months
mighty rampart
that is essentially it
multiplayer new game experience with set goals and rewards that let you progress much faster than the other modes
icy citrus
It also has everyone starting in the same area as well as going to the same places
mighty rampart
if you like playing with others then Expeditions will be much enjoyable for you compared to the usual modes
final ivy
I wrote an essay on "the point of Expeditions" yesterday elsewhere, so my ha'pennyworth ...
Mm. I think it was about trying out a different style of game, with much less plot, and much faster onboarding. Also exploring the multiplayer options, although I didn't see that as very successful. It was 'fun' to see other people around while I did the early parts, but it didn't actually change how I played.
For people who don't want to spent a day learning how to play, it's kinda perfect. Though, I do wonder how many people who started in Expeditions, will carry on playing, because they've been given a LOT of stuff that players who started in Normal took a long time to get. So the rest of the 'Normal' universe may feel terribly slow.
But IMO it's been a new burst of life for people with hundreds to thousands of hours in game already, so pretty successful on that front.
versed flower
does the standard primary storyline still exist, or is that gone in favor of the progression tree?
final ivy
Gone, yeah.
mighty rampart
its gone until you finish the expedition
when it converts to a normal save the storyline pops back
final ivy
Probably 🤷
versed flower
ok thanks
deep parrot
Although, you can jump into it as a new player and be just fine. That's what I did.
Though, I'm the type of play who asks a lot of questions, and does a lot of research.
cursive marsh
So I had a question before I finish the story.
||I'm supposed to warp go the center of Euclid now||
I haven't got myself a freighter yet. And I researched the prep work like use a bad multitool and a ship full of repair resources.
So is if true I can still portal back to my base after and finish the quests for the overseer and farmer and such?
And can you summon the anomaly again after and pick up the atlas path from Pollo? I haven't started it yet.
Anything specific you should really do in Euclid first before the final warps?
icy citrus
Plop down a base, which you have, so you can get back if you want easily
Atlas path will be there
Can build new places for specialists so you don't have to go back if you don't want
cursive marsh
Awesome. Well I already built 3 rooms full of plants for my farmer quests. The starting base is sort of my practice case. Where I can learn to build as I slowly unlock stuff from slaved data. I don't want to build a new base beyond the base computer yet until I research building foundations and the small cube rooms ect. Otherwise it would look like crap
cursive marsh
I will for sure.
I got stupid lucky this new game I made. The tutorial starting Galaxy went from a frozen planet to a paradise planet. So I learned to build the first wooden room on a paradise planet no weather or sentinels.
On xbox I had to learn to build on some kind of a red hot planet with cadmium that had frequent extreme weather events.
And the very second system I warped to for story had 2 paradise planets in it lol. Weird. I find more paradise planets on pc. But am lacking desert planets for pyrite. Yet I find a lot of desert planets on xbox but it can take hours to find a paradise.
cursive marsh
Yea that's where I'm planning to go first after I get to the center of Euclid. Since you can choose the first time
I'm wondering if I should get myself a freighter now and if it makes life easier before the reset? I would try learning the portal glyphs to pick out the right location for my perfect freighter
icy citrus
You will get the portal glyphs following the story
First freighter is free if you haven't accepted it yet
Can definitely make life easier - the matter beam and Exocraft orbital Materializer are terrific
Matter beam allows transfer of items to freighter regardless of where it is -if you have storage units on board and the freighter in the system, you can send and receive from each individually
cursive marsh
I only got a few portal glyphs tho.
icy citrus
Just keep going along with the story, it will teach them along the way
cursive marsh
Is there more story after the first reset. Or the story just continues as I warp the 16 times? I know I'll get communication pop ups every 3 or 6 warps
I thought this was it for story and unlocks tho?
cursive marsh
Oh. Nice
I had some of those anomaly items to use like a map. And I did the give a few traveller's 100 nanintes for grave markers
The one pet peeve I have right now that kinda makes me wanna finish the purge, is all the music in the game got taken over by this doom and gloom suspense music.
I wouldn't mind the new music on the questing, but I wanna relax with the planet music and ship sound effects again. 3 hours straight of this suspense music already gave me a headache lol
icy citrus
Lol
cursive marsh
So the base computer seems done with research and logs. And just sends me to an abandoned building every 4 hours. Is that all it does now?
cursive marsh
Yea. My landing pad is in a bad spot too lol. This terrain wasn't as flat as I thought.
But it functions fine
Is dreams of of deep a side quest for more lore? And should you complete it before the purge?
icy citrus
A bit of lore, not necessary to do before the Purge
cursive marsh
I was reading how this game changed with each update and it changed a lot with origins such as portal inference.
Will it wipe out and I have to find the quest again after the purge?
icy citrus
Gives the submarine and underwater base parts also
You will be able to rest it to a nearby system
Reset*
cursive marsh
I don't even have the submarine yet. I thought that would have been part of the Artemis path
Oh ok
That's fine than. Like the atlas path
icy citrus
Yep
cursive marsh
And is the whole black hole marker from Pollo irrelevant if you do the atlas path?
icy citrus
It will be yes
cursive marsh
Gotcha. I never did follow the marker
This is one of those games I feel like you do a lot of research on Google for lol
So much to learn and understand.
icy citrus
For sure, and so many changes easy to find misinformation
When you get to the end of Atlas path, don't choose walk away
cursive marsh
Yea that's the thing. Why I was asking about the purge here. The info online is outdated before you could portal back to Euclid.
icy citrus
All the restrictions have been lifted from Galactic travel now - bases will be listed and with the galaxy name if not in your current
Stations will be on your teleporter list as well, but that holds..50 I think, so eventually will start dropping off
cursive marsh
Seems I bought the game when it's in a good state lol.
icy citrus
I think so
cursive marsh
Oh I didn't realize that
There was a limit.
Well it's fine if they drop off near my first base. I can always just warp into those systems
cursive marsh
Good.
So now space station teleporters can send me back to Euclid? Not just the nexus portal
icy citrus
Correct
cursive marsh
My friend said I'd have to go back to Euclid for the living ship quest. Which I haven't found even.
cursive marsh
So the questline is either after the purge or part of the atlas path I'm guessing?
heady wyvern
@cursive marsh The living ship quest begins with you buying a Void Egg from the Quicksilver merchant in the Anomaly.
cursive marsh
Oh ok. I got so much quicksilver now. I haven't decided how to spend it yet
So that whole wiki guide to a third ending sure smelled like BS to me. Getting adopted by either a korvax, gek or vy'keen ect.
cursive marsh
Yea that looks funky
Let me see if I can post the link
I mean how do people get away with writing false information? I wonder how many people fell for it.
cursive marsh
You get adopted by a gek and an honory name lmao
I could smell it a mile away. But some poor kid will attempt it
It wasn't written on April 1st I don't think
cursive marsh
Does Pollo still give you the atlas v1 pass recipe some how? Cuz I've only gotten it from manufacturing facilities
cursive marsh
I just reset the galaxy. Eissentam here I come!
cursive marsh
So I got the install rememberence technology. I know what it's for. But you can't craft for it until you get the blueprint from atlas doing the atlas path right? So I guess I'm doing that next.
junior glen
okay, Im a little confused seeing that I never usually take the atlas path. Is the black hole essentially the same as the atlas seeds? I know with atlas seeds you learn to craft remembrance, but dont the black hole and the seeds count as the atlas path? Like I couldve swore the black hole was just to get there faster?
heady wyvern
@junior glen Atlas path does ask you to enter a Black Hole, yes.
@cursive marsh You get the blueprint for Remembrance after the Artemis quest chain. However, one of the materials require that you play through the Atlas Path quest.

mortal heath
@jolly thicket I've got a living ship on my survival save. Sits in the freighter most of the time. The storage is just one of the things. Better weapons on my fighter, the economy scanner is a couple more things that make my fighter better.
raw pecan
yeah there's a very small handful of things that make living ships situationally useful, but
- with the singular exception of "takeoff fuel cost", there's equal or better installable tech for mechanical ships for every other situation
- the ability to expand mechanical ship inventory isn't just an inventory size improvement, it also allows for more tech and more adjacency bonuses
- the fact that most tech ship components have buildable additional components for tech means you can get more adjancency bonuses overall to boot
that said, there's basically 0 situations in this game where that sort of minmaxing actually matters so fly whatever you like looking at most imo

Maybe 🤷♂️. It's hard to say. The interesting part is that it might be the 16th update to receive a cover. That could mean something significant or it could just be something irrelevant but it is something to think about a bit

Looking at the blog post, the pearl like thingy reminds me of Atlas Seed
But contained in this enclosure thingy
Also the definition:
The term beachhead is derived from a military strategy that advocates that, as you are approaching an enemy territory, you should plan and focus all your resources on winning a small border area that becomes a stronghold area from which to advance into the enemy territory.
Starting a fight against the Abyss?
Ok, now that we have the screenshot of the orb scratch my theory
Summoning an NPC companion from one of the races?

Full format rather than a quick format, new data being installed, old data completely rewritten.
Great thing about being a simulation is that it allows Hello Games this ability to just change up the game lore, it's fucking genius really.

@Gumsk I have 2 very technical question for you: Do you remember the sky cannon that could shoot players into the sky? Do you think it would still work today? And If it does work, could I rebuild it but change the angle of the cannon so it went horizontal and... hit an opposing structure?
wind panther
It's still theoretically possible, but I looked at two ways they gave the vector away and through the freighter models and didn't see anything
I've heard of the cannon but don't know anything about it personally. Devilin probably knows

<@120806539920539648> what's the last screen, with the rewards?
Phase 1 has fireworks again, and phases 1-4 have customisation rewards but I think it's for that save only
vague oriole
I just noticed smth rlly wierd
mighty rampart
Except for the beachhead banner
dreamy oracle
cooper?
uncut harness
And phase 5 was that thingy in QS vendor?
mighty rampart
Yes
hybrid pendant
need chromatic metal to go to other systems
vague oriole
I made first contact
hybrid pendant
@vague oriole how did u go to other systems?
vague oriole
need chromatic metal to go to other systems
It has indium
I made first contact with a system in warp range of the starting ine
I'm a legend now
quick summit
Wait, another season and only 2 weeks?
hybrid pendant
@vague oriole and u can refine it into chromatic metal
quick summit
darn, I have test soon..
hybrid pendant
@quick summit yes
vague oriole
There don't seem to be any grindy ones
quick summit
Anyone can share a shot? I need to reschedule..
vague oriole
Mystery milestones in phase 5 aside
mighty rampart
Wait, another season and only 2 weeks?
It's very short, can do in a couple days if you play it chill
I already did phase 1
quick summit
damn, alr.
vague oriole
Aaaand i already have a vector
rancid ether
"Play it chill"
1 day later: "alright, ive scammed this derelict freighter 68 times for its repair kits.. that should be enough to fully repair a ship for the crashed ship achievement"
dreamy oracle
that's what base+teleports are for 😛
vague oriole
I can do the whole thing without a base
Who needs base when you have capital freighter
There's a system called "L"
Phase 1 has freighter recolouring options
What
You can recolor frieghters?
silver ferry
Apparently
dreamy oracle
and it unlocks early
rancid ether
Expeditions: teaching players about features that have been in game for several updates
vague oriole
Didn't know that
Lol
That's just the game
I'm sure there are a million things I don't know yet
rancid ether
Oh rv5 gives you the dosimeter?
mighty rampart
yeah, which would explain why the other milestones are hidden
rancid ether
Watch rv5 be in galaxy 30 or something
vague oriole
Lol
What are the "encrypted" ones in p5
Oh hey
First rendezvous is icy
And there is a reach icy planet milestone
rancid ether
Wow...so first system is an ababdoned blue system. So you have to leave if you want to fully fix a crashed ship
dreamy oracle
came across a grave. "where did the sentinels come from?" speech
vague oriole
There is a visit the atlas milestone
rancid ether
Ruh roh, second Aerons war?
vague oriole
I bet there's gonna be new dialouge
wind panther
where the hell am I supposed to gt frigate fuel? I did the quest in the pattern you're supposed to, but nothing
vague oriole
rv1 is a portal
"so you know the balanced progressinon of nms?"
"Throw that out the window"
vague oriole
Slammed a base pc down
mighty rampart
where the hell am I supposed to gt frigate fuel? I did the quest in the pattern ...
just buy the recipe from the freighter upgrade panel
vague oriole
I now have portal access
mighty rampart
you get 5 salvage modules anyway
wind panther
Oh, didn't notice i started with some
vague oriole
Wait
mighty rampart
entering the first rendezvous in style
vague oriole
One of the milestones gave me a primitive vykeen hoof
mighty rampart
yus
vague oriole
I entered with the vector
mighty rampart
easy million
vague oriole
Foreshadowing the new lore?
mighty rampart
also this is the first frozen planet I've seen with the old mega structures
pretty awesome
rancid ether
Oh you mean the old T formations?
Yeah, i hadnt thought of that
vague oriole
Ok then
Time for distress signals
Crashed ship and freghter
R1 is full of haulers
Lol
And I'm in a gold vector
mighty rampart
lol you can still walk through walls with companions
mighty rampart
And I'm in a gold vector
I dont see any ship rewards in the first four phases, I'm also considering buying a different ship
not a fan of the hauler I have
vague oriole
I'm starting to feel that this expedition is not the main event
dreamy oracle
I'm claiming all the planets in the near-spawn system I'm in, then I'm heading out
mighty rampart
@wind panther the mission chain is still there though
mighty rampart
the first four phases are fairly simple, so yeah
just to let you quickly catch up
wind panther
Hmm, I did not start with 5 frigate modules
dreamy oracle
those are from the "Engage Warp" reward
mighty rampart
you dont start with it, its a reward for getting inside the freighter
vague oriole
I'm seeing more and more vectors
wind panther
I'm inside the freighter and don't have it
mighty rampart
Oh yeah I can switch to the vector too
dreamy oracle
you need to go to the thing and claim reward from Pioneer
wind panther
It's from warping/ I'll check that
dreamy oracle
lol
mighty rampart
I'm inside the freighter and don't have it
Oh then I might be mistaken, and it's the reward for when you jump to a system
dreamy oracle
there's a line at the quicksilver rewards
rancid ether
there's a line at the quicksilver rewards
How long you think? Like 15 minutes maybe?
Or should i call ahead with a reservation
rancid ether
1 Golden Vector to go plz
dreamy oracle
5k pulse
MUCH BETTER
rusted metal, magnetised ferrite, and emeril
this system's gonna be my home
maybe
okay. time to hit the rendezvous
got a freighter in my first jumped-to system
mighty rampart
Oof golden vector is so much better just for the storage alone
bitter ibex
so i went through a space warp gate from the first sector and it seems there is no gate back?! 😄
vague oriole
Wdym a space warp gate
Relic gate?
Oh no
The game froze
I think I've never saved aside from autosaves
uncut harness
Sounds like that, Relic Gateways don't have their counterparts in other side
bitter ibex
crap 😄
vague oriole
Very rare space encounter
bitter ibex
i found it in the first system
do i get the credit to name it or is just just an encounter and not a pohysically available gate?
vague oriole
It's an encounter
dreamy oracle
no gel packs. gonna need to go to a planet to make frigate fuel
vague oriole
Why do you need frigate fuel thi
dreamy oracle
frigate mission
ARCHIVE
as I randomly dive to a planet
NICE
builds base there
bitter ibex
is there a way i can find my way back from a relic gate? 😄
dreamy oracle
teleporters?
bitter ibex
havent reached space station
vague oriole
Installed a random c class hyperdrive upgrade
dreamy oracle
uploads Archive base
vague oriole
You could say it's not worth it but I'll be doing a lot of warping
mighty rampart
Anyone reached the final rendezvous?
vague oriole
Reached r2 system
mighty rampart
Asking because I think it's a really short trip
dreamy oracle
how much do you wanna bet that all the planets you need for phase 3 are at that phase's rendezvous system?
vague oriole
I just found a roaming trader which sold me a million unit artefact for 200 chromatic metal
bitter ibex
too bad relic gates are encounter instead of permanent like wormholes
dreamy oracle
I got one for free
vague oriole
I just spotted beeblebum
dreamy oracle
anyone have eyes on Cadmium?
dreamy oracle
what do you mean I have a warp range of 601 now
spice gorge
Ok did the new Expedition start already?
spice gorge
wow
vague oriole
Lol
Yes it did
It's basically ultra speedrun
Nms do everything% speedrun wr
I keep doing other stuff and i get phase 3 milestones
lime prism
I dont even have a hyperdrive on my starting ship...
mighty rampart
One more jump
dreamy oracle
I dont even have a hyperdrive on my starting ship...
that's what your freighter is for
lime prism
Why would I want to depend on a freighter:(
dreamy oracle
it's the way this expedition goes
lime prism
Not if I claim my vector its not
mighty rampart
Then go grab the golden vector
dreamy oracle
I have a 600ly freighter. fuck the fector's yperdrive lol
dreamy oracle
I think that all of phase 3 can be done in the rendezvous 1 system o.0
mighty rampart
Oh it's just a barren planet
dreamy oracle
that's lush planet done. desert next
rough depot
What are the expedition rewards
dreamy oracle
we don't know
mighty rampart
spooky
vague oriole
Crashed ship restore time
dreamy oracle
phase 3 just gives you money for landing on planets and s canning literally 2 ccreatures
also rendezvous
that's literally it
mighty rampart
Ok instead of wasting fuel on my freighter I'm gonna quickly upgrade my golden vector to warp around
bitter ibex
how you summon anomaly this early?
mighty rampart
Can summon anytime in expeditions
bitter ibex
do i need to warp firsT?
mighty rampart
Ok it's real easy to get to r5
vague oriole
There goes all my nav data
mighty rampart
R4 is also just 450ly
bitter ibex
well i got baited to a relic gate as i left the first planets orbit... and now i am stuck at the other end 😄
dreamy oracle
R2 is 150 from R1 lol
vague oriole
Ok then
I'll have to get nav data
Or
I can go to nms coordinate exchange
And find a planet with coords for a crashed ship
Modern problems require modern solutions
mighty rampart
You already have the glyphs?
mighty rampart
Wait wtf
dreamy oracle
how much do you wanna bet that someone has already unlocked the portal at R1?
mighty rampart
Why is my freighter capable of jumping in colored systems
I don't have the drives yet
mighty rampart
Yeah
vague oriole
I need to do it fast
dreamy oracle
just go single-player
every system will be you
there's a crashed freighter base at R2 btw
mighty rampart
I already did 4
vague oriole
Before everyone discovers stuff
mighty rampart
Though I'm sure I overwrote someone else's discovery
vague oriole
Smth I've always wondered about
Do you need all 3 drive upgrades
Or can you go everywhere with just indium
dreamy oracle
just indium I think
hearty karma
Just indium can get you to any star system. But you lose out on the "bonus" of having all three connected offers.
vague oriole
My vector is now op for expeditions but shit for anything else
mighty rampart
it has indium drive
Oh that's why I can already travel in all coloured systems
vague oriole
Where is it tho
Ah
The temporal warp computer
I am now in rendezvous 3
But still haven't done the crashed ship one
mighty rampart
R4 on a volcanic planet
dreamy oracle
oh hell yes. distress signal?
vague oriole
I'll do it kinda linear
dreamy oracle
it's at R1
mighty rampart
All of them already visited by other people lol
vague oriole
At r1?
dreamy oracle
in the system
vague oriole
There's i in r3 too
dreamy oracle
what about scorched or radioactive?
vague oriole
Radiactive is r2 iirc
vague oriole
R4 on a volcanic planet
And i think this is scorched
mighty rampart
Well yes it is scorched
dreamy oracle
oh shit I didn't restore the crashed ship
welp. I need to go to the sp ace station to expand inventory anyway
I just found it
vague oriole
Why does everything give you artifacts
dreamy oracle
because you're god damn poor in this expedition
really makes you appreciate pioneer where you were handed loads of stuff that were top notch
dreamy oracle
lol
mighty rampart
It unlocked one of the hidden milestones
don't click if you wanna find out for yourself
dreamy oracle
shit. the ship is gone. gonna need to get a new one to fix up now
unless I can do it on my freighter?
you CAN build all the storage in the freighter right away
mighty rampart
Yep!
dreamy oracle
awesome
mighty rampart
ok so you have to finish the entire expedition to get the item in your normal save
vague oriole
I'm at 6 vykeen words
dreamy oracle
R3, woo
dreamy oracle
I just need to save a crashed pilot
mighty rampart
still, a pretty neat way to introduce new features in a game especially if its not endgame stuff
dreamy oracle
I get the feeling Pioneer and Beachhead are proof of concepts
also I left my di-hydrogen o nmy freighter and it took it all
from my portable refiner
hiss
I had just enough to refine one gel
and I need 1 gel to finish the repair
mighty rampart
for a game like this I think this is a fine way to add content to do between big updates
dreamy oracle
so here I am waiting
vague oriole
I lost all my nav data to a stupud mistake
mighty rampart
since the rewards aren't a big deal if you miss them but sadly its still a frowned upon mechanic and for good reason
dreamy oracle
I kinda want there to be a Portal 2 Wheatley 1 expedition happen at some point lol
vague oriole
So now i gotta grind
mighty rampart
gonna take a break and then finish off the easier milestones like visiting planets
dreamy oracle
yes
vague oriole
@dreamy oracle where did you do the crashed ship one
thin furnace
dreamy oracle
Uh, R2?
I found oe of the things in a commercial chart that sent me to a crashed ship
cloud joltBOT
@dreamy oracle
tepid iris
Hey the intro cutscene is new right?
hearty karma
was there a way around it? Never got it on 1st season
I believe even if it says inventory full, it still counts for the final finishing. Did for me in the last expedition at least.
royal osprey
So uh, how many times do I have to submit data? The text it's given me has started to loop and the quest still says 0%
uncut harness
anomalous research...is that a topic here?
severe sun
was there a way around it? Never got it on 1st season
You shouldn't need to work around it - just means you can't get the reward at that moment. It should still be at the QS vendor
If it's not at the QS vendor... !hg
I will fight you gunter
!hg
cloud joltBOT
You can submit bug reports or suggestions/feedback directly to Hello Games with this link: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
tepid iris
there are no new twitch drops right
severe sun
None announced
dreamy oracle
have you checked quicksilver and expedition rewards?
mighty rampart
So uh, how many times do I have to submit data? The text it's given me has start...
the community one?
royal osprey
Oh is it actually just community stuff?
mighty rampart
if you're talking about the "0%" in the mission log then yes
mighty rampart
the more people who finish the expedition the more it will progress
well you can get the expedition done in a couple days
royal osprey
Can't really finish it without that though
dreamy oracle
is your inventory full?
mighty rampart
well it is kind of finished as the community reward is the final phase of the new "feature"
the bulk of it you can do right now
royal osprey
Guess I'll check how it's going in a week or something then 😅
mighty rampart
the expedition is only 2 weeks
dreamy oracle
being still on rendezvous 4, I dunno
uncut harness
so they did it, a third normal save....sigh
dreamy oracle
if you mean converting the Pioneer Expedition to a Normal save? Yeah. that's always been the deal
tepid iris
is there a max number of save games?
dreamy oracle
I think it's 5 but if you're on PC you can back the up
severe sun
lol
i was wondering why there was a random whispering egg near my crashed ship
BAIT
IT WAS BAIT
For dumb players that haven't saved yet
dreamy oracle
spoilers for post-REndezvous 5: the ||Atlas Calls system|| lol
mental socket
ah yes, sboilery
tepid iris
Nice they gave us an advanced mining laser by default in this expedition?
dreamy oracle
right. 3 more korvax words and 8 new systems and I'm done with everything up through 4
mental socket
prepare for a lot of ||lore in the 5th phase||
sturdy sorrel
Wait the expedition is only 2 weeks?
mighty rampart
Yeah
mighty rampart
The whole expedition is
low gull
it doesn't take long to complete
mighty rampart
Yep but it's very easy to clear them
tame shell
5 phases, but less missions overall
and theyre pretty quick too
sturdy sorrel
Good rewards for all saves?
sturdy sorrel
Bet its a super freighter
timid mist
I'm doing the special item thing rn but I'm gonna stop until the 0% ticks up lol
sturdy sorrel
If its hidden maybe its something really special
Like imagine an X class freighter or something
deep parrot
The tasks for Phase 5 are hidden too.
dreamy oracle
I just happened to come down next to the thing I need
mental socket
how many ||lore pieces|| I have to get before it goes up?
deep parrot
I bet the hidden rewards for Phase 4 are the "keys" to reveal the Phase 5 tasks.
timid mist
@mental socket it's community based I think
It seems like it's not tracking it properly tho, might need to wait a little for it to update
mental socket
kinda feel like the text started to loop over and over
deep parrot
I saw that several of the Quicksilver items are in the rewards this time.
The Vy'keen outfit, for example.
The Anomaly helmet.
mental socket
nvm
dreamy oracle
bahahahaha
mental socket
I take that back
dreamy oracle
I got to name the planets in the nearest Atlas Station system to Rendezvous 5
mental socket
now the story is getting interesting
dreamy oracle
the planet closest to the station: Shoulders of Atlas. The other one? Atlas' Siren
sturdy sorrel
Oh ye lol if its just a golden freighter im naming it magnitude
deep parrot
I hope it's a max size freighter, at least.
dreamy oracle
I'm quite proud of that
deep parrot
If it is one.
dreamy oracle
a lot of people will see that now
deep parrot
Saw they started us off with a Battleship class Freighter.
Phase One reward for Freighter Color Unlocks. Everything except for White and Black.
Is that a cross-save reward?
Definitely upgraded from that crappy Small Hauler they start us with to the Golden Vector right away. XD
deep parrot
The artifact scanner thingy? That's it?
mighty rampart
And I guess the banner too
mighty rampart
Unless they managed to hide the listing until you get the secret rewards
deep parrot
Das my guess.
Was hoping the Vy'keen armor was cross save though.
I really dislike how Quicksilver things are handled.
sturdy sorrel
Its kinda cool in a way
kind salmon
i need to know
deep parrot
The weekly and daily missions are cross-save, but the currency isn't.
mighty rampart
Literally hidden
deep parrot
Idk, I may be able to finish the Expedition tonight.
mighty rampart
deep parrot
Left for work with Phase One complete, and Phase Two 80%.
dreamy oracle
so we're stuck until we collectively unlock the myth beacon
