kind salmon
#

100% the freighter

dreamy oracle
#

got it

timid mist
#

Yeah exactly

kind salmon
#

I'm gonna bet 100 million units itss the freighter

#

It has the same shape as the freighter sticker

deep parrot
#

Fastest way to find a Crashed Freighter? The task itself recommend Distress Signal Planetary Charts.

cold panther
#

yeah, distress can be crashed freighter

kind salmon
#

What is the hardest mission currently?

deep parrot
#

Probably one of the encrypted ones.

dreamy oracle
#

the one thing that the distressed signals can't add towards progress is abandoned building

deep parrot
#

Literally can't do them till the earlier phases are completed.

dreamy oracle
#

I'm guessing the rest of phase 5 is going to be all community research

subtle gorge
#

Probably not

kind salmon
#

I don't understand any of this, can you explain all the new stuff/new ways of completing compared to the last one?

#

Like encrypted missions?!

deep parrot
#

Yeah, they hid missions that you can't do till you find some key that reveals them.

#

In Phase 5.

kind salmon
#

omg that sounds awesome

#

gonna play later

small herald
#

any information about those keys at this moment?

kind salmon
#

Are the missions easy?

#

so far

deep parrot
#

Which, that might be what the Artifact Scanner thingy is for.

#

All known missions are easy.

#

From my perspective, at least

timid mist
#

Yeah I finished all of them in like 2 hours or so

deep parrot
#

The S class Launch Thruster mods... not sure how to feel about that.

subtle gorge
#

So, first one is collect Flux readings and the second one is technically timegated

sturdy sorrel
#

Time gated?

subtle gorge
#

You need to get the myth beacon

#

Which is a community research item

#

That has not unlocked yet

#

I have everything done except phase 5

sturdy sorrel
#

Oh... Thats not good

deep parrot
#

Oh...

#

Uh...

kind salmon
deep parrot
#

_>

sturdy sorrel
#

Also abusing the heck out of twitch and expedition rewards is a god send

deep parrot
#

Golden Vector helps a ton.

sturdy sorrel
#

Kinda funny in a way

timid mist
#

Nothing is time gated except for technically so far the myth beacon one

#

The rest of the phases are just normal easy gameplay stuff

#

No idea what anything past the myth beacon is, don't wanna read datamining or anything personally

sturdy sorrel
#

As we complete expeditions we gain stuff that carries over into the next one, streamlining the process for expedition veterans

#

Its most likely unintentional but cool none the less

kind salmon
#

Is it reasonable to assume that this expedition is heavily leading into update 16?

dreamy oracle
#

I think so

timid mist
#

It's at the very least another injection of neat lore

brave warren
#

anybody got to Phase 5 with the Myth Beacon ?

#

cause i for the love of god cant get it

dreamy oracle
#

did you accept the rewards?

brave warren
#

yeah

vague oriole
#

Wait what

#

Phase 5 gives you a myth beacon?

dreamy oracle
#

oh, the myth beacon

#

sorry

#

yeah you have to do community research for that

brave warren
#

i am literally busy doing the scanning and stuff

#

or by community research you mean its time gated

vague oriole
#

You mean the not so mystery device?

dreamy oracle
#

by community research I mean th more everyone does the faster it gets unlocked

brave warren
#

god damn it

#

so the Myth Beacon is time locked by the community research ?

vague oriole
#

The dosineter

dreamy oracle
#

it's effort locked by community research

#

there's a difference

brave warren
#

i already have that dosimeter

vague oriole
#

The myth beacon is in the reasearch

#

The dosimeter lets you do the research

brave warren
#

yes thats what i was already implying

kind salmon
#

Is your freighter hyperdrive supposed to be fueled

crisp fern
#

yeah

#

so is the new expedition largely the same as the last, i.e. same old gameplay different arrangement of tasks?

dreamy oracle
#

not......really?

#

it's similar

#

but aside from the community research you can blow through it in what, 2-3 hours?

crisp fern
#

i mean are you doing the same things you could already do for the most part

dreamy oracle
#

yeah, but for special rewards

brave warren
#

isnt the weird thing though

crisp fern
#

expedition 1 was just that, do what you were already doing, some different rewards

brave warren
#

that we can achieve so much

#

in short time

#

but in reality we shoudlnt rush it

#

and just enjoy it

crisp fern
#

expedition 2 i guess is the same?

mighty rampart
dreamy oracle
#

expedition 2 is similar but with a much more condensed timeframe

#

and after the first few hours it's all new

crisp fern
#

isn't phase 5 just unknown atm due to pseudo-timegating?

#

from what i skimmed above that is

dreamy oracle
#

effort-gating. the more you put in, the sooner it will be over

crisp fern
dreamy oracle
#

yeah, but if everyone just stops, it will take a lot longer

mighty rampart
#

Yeah essentially just new lore from monuments

dreamy oracle
#

therefore: effort-gating, not time-gating

crisp fern
#

nah if everyone quits they'll just tweak the progress as the end date approaches

#

they've done something like that before

vague oriole
#

Phase 5 isn't time gated rlly

crisp fern
dreamy oracle
vague oriole
#

I'm pretty sure ppl have done it already

#

It was for like the first hour

mighty rampart
vague oriole
#

No

crisp fern
vague oriole
#

Doesn't it track ppl using the dosimeter

#

Idk

#

I feel like the only way to find out is to finish the expedition for myself lol

silver ferry
hard timber
#

You can use the dosimeter as many times as you want, you'll eventually get repeating text and still 0%

vague oriole
#

!tier

#

Does tier not work for this quest

crisp fern
#

ah whatever, it sounds like the details aren't incredibly important, as it sounds like it's more or less just a rehash of community research missions of enough folks do x to get things

mighty rampart
dreamy oracle
#

unless it's not instantly updating

mighty rampart
#

The research changed description now

dreamy oracle
#

it ltierally is a community research mission

vague oriole
#

The item is usable

#

At least it seems so

#

Because you can get multiples

mighty rampart
#

and gives you 15QS but lmao

crisp fern
#

Right, my point, stemming from my original question, was whether this expedition had folks doing what we were already doing for the most part, and so it sounds like that is more or less the case

hard timber
#

Easier RNG this time

dreamy oracle
#

that's literally the gameplay loop of NMS, yes

timid mist
#

for the most part yeah, but the last phase is a bit different in that it's hidden

dreamy oracle
#

it's how the entire game works

timid mist
#

and there's a quest that gives new lore via alien artifact locations

crisp fern
#

Not in an attempt to be reductive, mind, but to see if there was much to encourage a long-time player to bother

mighty rampart
#

if you're asking whether there's something entirely new

#

then no

vague oriole
#

But there is

mighty rampart
#

just more lore stuff

timid mist
#

if you aren't interested in the lore than no, so far

vague oriole
#

Then what is the myth beacon

#

It summons smth

timid mist
#

no idea what the beacon or other things are yet though

hard timber
#

Nobody knows, because it isn't unlocked yet lol

vague oriole
#

You only expect that smth to have a use

#

It says smth like "experimental summonign device"

#

Btw

mighty rampart
#

it could be part of an upcoming update

timid mist
#

im sure in like 2 hours someone will mod the game to unlock it then figure out what everything does

vague oriole
#

Has anyone unlocked the phase 5 milestones

mighty rampart
#

just like the void egg being useless for a while

crisp fern
#

Going from the blog post it sounds like they may be retconning some stuff? Or filling in gaps in the, up to now, largely irrelevant histories, lol

mighty rampart
#

not exactly

hard timber
#

How close to PR5 is ||the Atlas Calls system||?

mighty rampart
#

its a little misleading

dreamy oracle
vague oriole
hard timber
#

I can't see it lol

timid mist
#

okay that's kinda nice to know at least

vague oriole
#

Wait what

#

God

#

I need to go finish it

mighty rampart
timid mist
#

kinda hate when stuff gets datamined before anyone even does anything lol

#

but it's my fault for looking usually

vague oriole
crisp fern
#

yeah i kinda agree

vague oriole
#

Also

#

Most of it is not even data mining

timid mist
#

i like that it's locked behind an update apparently

crisp fern
#

but also i appreciate it if it's behind a lot of whatever stuff

timid mist
#

though i'm not sure why the progress is 0% still lol

fallen warren
#

jesus christ, first task of the expedition.. cant get off the planet, cause i have no way to get carbon

mighty rampart
#

it doesnt update in real time

vague oriole
#

We saw the dosineter on consoke first when 3.4 came out

vague oriole
#

Yea

#

Also

mighty rampart
#

its ferrite dust and carbon after scanning

vague oriole
#

I think the quest that tells you to build a roamer gives you a ton of condensed carbon

timid mist
#

it does

#

like 600 or so

crisp fern
timid mist
#

all you need is ferrite dust

vague oriole
#

You start with a roamer blueprint

#

And a lot of materials

#

You need 250 ferrite

mighty rampart
#

I have never seen the community progress update in real time

timid mist
#

and sohail said it's not updated realtime for this so might just not be showing progress yet

mighty rampart
#

I think it does once or twice a day

vague oriole
#

Btw sohail

dreamy oracle
#

that was my assumption

vague oriole
#

Didn't you reach phase 5?

timid mist
#

do you have an idea of the time gates it updates on?

rough depot
#

What is the Atlas Calls system

mighty rampart
#

no I reached the last rendezvous

crisp fern
# crisp fern Going from the blog post it sounds like they may be retconning some stuff? Or fi...

also fwiw this is what i was referring to from the blog post:

Alongside the new Expedition, Nada and Polo’s regular research effort aboard the Space Anomaly has shifted into a new gear. Priest Entity Nada has detected something thought impossible: a fluctuation in history already written. A new pattern is emerging in the stories of the ancient Gek, Korvax, and Vy’keen. Something is stirring from across the universe. Can you hear it?

dreamy oracle
mighty rampart
#

yeah its misleading

#

they're not retconning, just adding more stuff

vague oriole
mighty rampart
#

again, like Living ships

vague oriole
#

With that one milestone

mighty rampart
#

yeah

vague oriole
#

The nms community always takes time to figure out new stuff, rlly slow this time

mighty rampart
#

I'm gonna finish the previous 4 phases first as they're all so easy

crisp fern
#

mm, so more stuff to a history that has so far yet to show any influence on the present, neat

vague oriole
#

All info i can find about beachhead is a captainsteve video about phase 1

mighty rampart
#

then start doing the dosimeter

fallen warren
vague oriole
#

Patch notes aside

#

Patch notes aside

dreamy oracle
#

I'm gonna be doing dosimeter soon. I've been working on a project I don't want interrupted

#

that I will reveal soon

crisp fern
vague oriole
#

Trye

mighty rampart
#

I DID do one

fallen warren
#

so

timid mist
#

i've done like 10-15

#

pretty interesting os far

mighty rampart
#

nice

vague oriole
#

I haven't even completed phase 3 lol

timid mist
#

also Beachhead is the name of a line of defense set up while waiting for reinforcements i believe

crisp fern
#

pls tell me finalize grants more than that

fallen warren
#

has data mining found anything about that new research? sry, i just woke up an hour ago sweatrou

timid mist
#

and the new lore hints heavily at a || weapon ||

vague oriole
#

||incinerator return?????||

mighty rampart
#

ok im gonna go finish all this

dreamy oracle
#

||or, perhaps, an entity that was lost by its people and used as a weapon of war?||

crisp fern
#

the much requested combat update because nobody loves puzzies enough

timid mist
#

there's more than one new lore entry @crisp fern , and each ones grants 15 QS. You need QS for the myth beacon. so it works towards that.

vague oriole
#

||KORVAX ALLY????||

vague oriole
timid mist
#

yeah i said that?

vague oriole
#

It's too little rlly

#

But whatever

#

A little extra won't hurt

crisp fern
timid mist
#

well you can get multiple so

#

we have no idea if you need to but it might be like the eggs

vague oriole
#

Look

#

It's lire

#

If you want gameplay, wait for the lore ppl to get the beacon

timid mist
#

one part of the lore mentions || a metal dragon being pierced by the weapon ||

#

i'm guessing the first part of that lore is metaphorical tho

crisp fern
#

world of glass 2

vague oriole
#

Sadly I don't have enough time

#

If i had I'd have seriously just done the whole thing

dreamy oracle
#

||or it could be about Korvax Prime, having been turned into giant ships by the Vek, being hurt by Vy'Keen weaponry||

#

would tie everything together nicely

crisp fern
#

it's vague enough to be just about any tech thing

gusty berry
#

how many stages of expedition are there this time?

vague oriole
#

5 phases

#

Some are smaller

#

Phase 5 has "encrypted" milestones

gusty berry
#

smaller, are there rewards for em?

dreamy oracle
#

phase 1 is literally getting off the planet and jumping to the next system

vague oriole
#

That as far as i know no one here has unlocked

gusty berry
#

just trying to make out what the beacon and tracker are

#

if they're just mission items then there's no point in making it buyable

timid mist
#

tracker might be the dosimeter, though i think that's denoted separately

#

beacon is the myth beacon which no one has officially unlocked yet

fallen warren
#

i find the encrypter reward very intriguing

timid mist
#

gumsk apparently save edited it but || it did nothing ||

gusty berry
#

prolly only works in a certain mission stage

rancid ether
#

Dosimeter is used at plaques afaik

deep parrot
#

Phase 1 Guide:
They start you off with the Roamer Bay blueprint, so make that. Summon roamer and reclaim the Bay.
Drive to your Starship.
Fix starship.
Craft antimatter and the antimatter housing to make a warp cell.
Launch, summon Freighter.
Dock on freighter, fuel it.
Jump twice (get hypercores after first jump) to Rendezvous 1. Phase One complete.

gusty berry
#

man I desperately need more than 5 save slots

#

save editor it is I guess

deep parrot
#

Phase Two is pretty easy too, but RNG reliant.

gusty berry
#

I just kinda need to take a looksee at the phase rewards

dreamy oracle
#

there's new atlas quest stuff too

fallen warren
#

hmm.. so both the system you start in.. and the first rendevouz are abandoned systems

#

this sorta seems to fit the theme of the past mentioned in the post

deep parrot
#

Phase Two guide:
Jump once to Rendezvous Two.
Dock at Space Station and buy up Planetary Charts for Distress Signals.
Find a busted starship. Fix it's Launch Thruster and Pulse Engine (all that needs fixing. Nothing more).
Save a dude.
Get to a Crashed Freighter and loot it.
Should have your travel milestone by now.
Phase Two done.

#

Phase 3 and 4 I didn't look too closely at, but...

#

Iirc, it's just being the first to analyze some fauna in different biomes.

#

Step in the different biomes.

dreamy oracle
#

not the first, just to find them in different biomes IIRc

deep parrot
#

The language on the task is "Discover".

#

Which so far has meant being the first person to scan and upload.

#

A lot of Reputation rewards for the latter end there. Not a big fan of that.

#

I suppose they're good for users who will decide to keep the save after Expedition ends.

sturdy sorrel
dreamy oracle
#

it's also part of the theme of the expedition

#

as in the races in NMS

deep parrot
#

Yeah, saw some tease about maybe a new race.

dreamy oracle
#

this doesn't seem like it's a huge expedition, more like it's building towards something in the next one

sturdy sorrel
#

Time travel fuckery and racial story bs

#

Really has me worried

dreamy oracle
#

or: Sweet, sweet lore

sturdy sorrel
#

Deep Lore and time travel dont mix well

#

Look at kingdom hearts

dreamy oracle
#

never played it

deep parrot
#

There's no "time travel" as it were in NMS.

dreamy oracle
#

technically it could be argued there isn't any history. it's all just programmed memories of history

deep parrot
#

Well, that really depends if the simulation is preset with the start point, or if it reruns the whole thing.

#

Guess we don't really know.

fallen warren
sturdy sorrel
#

Kingdom hearts is definately a step beyond disney advertising

#

3 kinda

#

But like the 20 other games, no

viral yarrow
#

Interesting..

#

So Expedition 2 is hintin heavily on the 16th update

sturdy sorrel
#

If you remember majority of the franchises in kh havent even had any major merch or releases a decade or so before implementation

fallen warren
sturdy sorrel
viral yarrow
#

Having you start in an abandoned system with a day 1 esque space station

dreamy oracle
viral yarrow
#

Yeah

#

This seems to be a pretty fast one as well so

fallen warren
#

so i for the life of me, cant find what planet the first RV is on

#

like

#

getting nothing on my HUD

deep parrot
#

Each day is a Minute till reset, huh?

icy citrus
#

Make sure that is selected on the expeditions page @fallen warren

subtle gorge
#

So how much of the lore do we all have?

I've got quite a few things

icy citrus
#

😭

fallen warren
#

its not showing

dreamy oracle
#

if you just started you have to build the exocraft depot

subtle gorge
#

I've been farming monoliths

icy citrus
#

Is it set as active in your log also?

dreamy oracle
#

oh, Rendezvous

#

oops

fallen warren
icy citrus
#

Blahhh

fallen warren
#

gonna try entering and exiting the anomoly, see if that fixes it

icy citrus
#

🤞

#

🤞

sturdy sorrel
#

I know this is kinda pessimistic but

rancid ether
sturdy sorrel
#

How long do you think they could keep this up

gusty berry
#

for me

dreamy oracle
#

an Expedition with 16 super short phases

sturdy sorrel
#

Free content just means it costs them out of pocket to make

icy citrus
#

It's been almost 5 years now

sturdy sorrel
#

I dont see it being feasible for them to keep this up forever ya know

icy citrus
#

They aren't hurting for money friend

sturdy sorrel
#

Not the point tho

icy citrus
#

They do other projects

#

This still generates revenue

gusty berry
#

they've been getting sales over the years

icy citrus
#

Forever? Of course not

deep parrot
#

They're getting more sales lately.

sturdy sorrel
#

Exactly eventually its gonna hit a point where its only a cash and time sink and doesnt produce profits compared to other projects

fallen warren
#

soo uhhh

#

i may have

gusty berry
#

for a ~20 people studio this is more than feasible

subtle gorge
vague oriole
#

Phases

subtle gorge
vague oriole
#

Not milestones

vague oriole
fallen warren
#

accidently jumped to the wrong system

icy citrus
#

Lol

#

Happens

deep parrot
#

Once they've met the original release promise, it might be then that they either cease continued production, or offer paid updates.

sturdy sorrel
#

Dlc would be fine after a certain point.

vague oriole
#

What did they even promise that isn't in the game

sturdy sorrel
#

I think a few things

deep parrot
#

There's a megathread for that somewhere...

vague oriole
#

Rivers?

gusty berry
#

so while you guys are busy, I think HG likely missed putting in some language data this update around

sturdy sorrel
#

Ye rivers

vague oriole
#

Rivers and that extremely tall diplo

#

All i can think of

fallen warren
vague oriole
#

Well whatever

#

Back to the expedition

#

Does anyone know what the final reward is

dreamy oracle
#

nope

sturdy sorrel
#

Does nms even have merch aside from the preorder bonus tin toy ships

deep parrot
#

Sounds like we're all gonna be locked out of knowing behind the Community Research.

gusty berry
#

hey uh

vague oriole
#

Btw

gusty berry
#

what's the golden gek helmet called?

vague oriole
#

Can we not call it community research

deep parrot
#

There's a merch store yeah. Not a large or decent variety of stuff there though.

vague oriole
#

It's anomalous reseach

#

Coa it works differently

sturdy sorrel
gusty berry
#

thank

vague oriole
#

Golden first spawn yea

sturdy sorrel
#

Ngl the fact that there arent blob plushies yet is somewhat appalling

severe sun
#

Managed to knock out nearly half of the milestones already thanks to that lucky relic gate

gusty berry
#
Name: Golden Alpha Helmet
Description: An exclusive <STELLAR>Exosuit Appearance Override<>.
This reimagination of the classic Alpha Helmet is cast in a durable and precious alloy.
Transform the appearance of your Exosuit at an <TECHNOLOGY>Appearance Modifier<>.
sturdy sorrel
#

That thing is like an unoffical mascot for nms its literally everywhere that the atlas isnt

mental socket
severe sun
#

And I've not even fuelled the freighter Warp drive yet

gusty berry
#
An exclusive <STELLAR>Exosuit Appearance Override<>.
A classically-styled Life Support Unit, cast in a durable and precious alloy.
Transform the appearance of your Exosuit at an <TECHNOLOGY>Appearance Modifier<>.```
vague oriole
#

I think someone mentioned it before

gusty berry
#

there're a few more

deep parrot
#

Golden Alpha huh...

#

Life Support... appearance? What?

sturdy sorrel
#

Golden alpha?

vague oriole
#

We are actually getting golden crewmate

timid mist
#

Alpha is just the name of one of the existing helmets, it's a golden variant

sturdy sorrel
#

Im surprised they didnt think to do a community dlc contest or something

gusty berry
sturdy sorrel
#

Submit designs for head modules and winners get implemented as free dlc heads

#

Tv korvax, bulldog vy'keen, parrot feather gek. Goofy stuff like that

timid mist
#

anyone able to check on the progress so far? still at 0%?

mental socket
gusty berry
vague oriole
#

Btw

#

Wasn't gumsk gonna try to use the myth beacon

mental socket
#

This season seems to have kinda anticlimactic reward

gusty berry
#

if people know of it already I ain't bothering with pasting the rest

timid mist
#

we don't even know the rewards yet

vague oriole
sturdy sorrel
#

Has anyone thought of using a save beacon?

timid mist
#

why?

sturdy sorrel
#

Just curious about it requiring a "beacon"

mental socket
gusty berry
#

so do I keep pasting or

vague oriole
#

It's like the void egg ig

timid mist
#

you need a myth beacon which is community progress locked @sturdy sorrel

mental socket
#

What does it locate

vague oriole
#

It will tho

timid mist
#

it's part of phase 5

vague oriole
#

You don't need it for expedition

sturdy sorrel
#

Myth beacon being required when it isnt even unlocked yet doesnt make sense

vague oriole
#

As far as we know at least

dreamy oracle
#

okay. so.

there's new stuff in the Atlas storyline for this.

Each one seems to be locked behind something, and I suspect that it is getting to a certain waypoint

timid mist
#

cause you have to wait until it's unlocked.. lol

mental socket
#

The ladt missions do require it

dreamy oracle
#

Atlas Calling is the first waypoint for the Atlas stuff

timid mist
#

there's a parallel mission that moves progress along

vague oriole
sturdy sorrel
#

Yet we have a slim 2 week time limit

#

That doesnt add up

mental socket
dreamy oracle
#

I've spent the last couple hours discovering and naming the systems and planets (except for Atlas Calling) along the Beachhead Atlas storyline (which is like 1-2 jumps from R5)

sturdy sorrel
#

I feel we are following a red herring here

deep parrot
#

We'll have to monitor how fast the Research completes.

timid mist
#

we aren't lol

#

it's not a puzzle, there is a mission

vague oriole
deep parrot
#

The Research is filled by doing the Nexus Missions, right?

gusty berry
mental socket
#

Well idk how else the rest 2 can be decrypted

vague oriole
#

The dosimeter

sturdy sorrel
#

What if we dont reach the beacon goal in time tho?

gusty berry
#

anyway you guys get the idea

vague oriole
#

It's not normal community research

gusty berry
#

just golden outfit allaround

sturdy sorrel
#

Are we just expected to be unable to finish

deep parrot
#

I doubt it.

timid mist
#

they will just adjust the goals @sturdy sorrel , they did it with community QS goals before

mental socket
#

did dosimeter stuff until text started to repeat itself, no progress made to the percentage

tepid iris
#

Guys

#

do any of the rewards of this expedition give atlas passes?

timid mist
#

it probably has a time of day that it updates, or there's no total yet and they're waiting to see volume so they can set it on the backend

deep parrot
#

I don't think a single player will be able to move the bar on their own.

dreamy oracle
#

nope, no atlas passes given out this time

tepid iris
#

I'm at a factory now to choose recipes

#

alright then I unlock the atlas passes thanks

mental socket
#

basically the progress of this season is timegated

deep parrot
#

Do please try to contribute to the Research, however.

timid mist
#

yeah i did like 12-15 of them

#

seemed like it was starting to repeat, might do a couple more later just to check

vague oriole
mental socket
#

until the research tier is complete

vague oriole
#

It could just be not updating

tepid iris
#

what do you need to do for the research? Nexus missions?

vague oriole
#

To our knowledge we could be on 99% rn

timid mist
#

we could be but if it's a bug we're timegated by a fix anyways lol

#

no @tepid iris just keep doing the expedition and you'll get what you need

gusty berry

twitch drop prolly

timid mist
#

finally the golden bytebeat device we've been waiting for

#

thank you HG

deep parrot
#

I hope they realize everything doesn't have to be gold.

timid mist
#

but ya probs a twitch drop lol

gusty berry
sturdy sorrel
#

This sounds messed up but

#

Has any modders tried to unlock it by force yet?

gusty berry
#

unlock what

sturdy sorrel
#

The final phase

fallen warren
#

i still cant find the first rv..

timid mist
#

Gumsk did but I'm not sure if he was at the correct stage of phase 5

deep parrot
#

I'm sure at least one modder is at least investigating.

sturdy sorrel
#

Seems like an easy solution to find the flag and check it

gusty berry
#

prolly takes a bit of time to add numbers by one for about a dozen times

vague oriole
#

More like 16 times amirire

gusty berry
#

anyway, no data for the new titles

#

the icons are temporary "need new icon.png" too

tepid iris
#

the golden bytebeat is datamined?

#

or something in the expedition

sturdy sorrel
#

Bytebeat?

gusty berry
hearty karma
#

I see the please 2 "inventory is full" bug is still around. Good thing it doesn't halt progress. But I would like to see what the ship looks like lol.

gusty berry
#

it's actually p easy

deep parrot
#

I learned from Expedition One to always be ready to claim all rewards.

outer cobalt
tepid iris
#

Nice

timid mist
#

@wind panther were you at the proper stage of phase 5 when you gave yourself the myth beacon?

gusty berry
#

anyway Imma get some screenies for the rewards

tepid iris
#

anything else found so far? 🙂

#

sorry I'm alt tabbing a bit :p

gusty berry
#

search this channel and my name

#

or scroll up

tepid iris
#

oh yeah I'm dumb sorry

#

gonna search thanks 😛

gusty berry
#

I'm just lazy to do it myself

#

haven't copied everything but you get the idea

hearty karma
outer cobalt
#

I had the same, cleared slots, no go. Got out of ship, all good

hearty karma
#

No go lol

tepid iris
#

Nice finds Quintessential 🙂

outer cobalt
#

Maybe I did something else? I know I kept clearing all kinds of slots, ship too and jumped out of ship.

gusty berry
#

I wonder what'd happen if I equip the title without the language string

#

prolly just an ID with no name

sturdy sorrel
#

Anyone else just burn an expedition save once you finished pioneers

deep parrot
#

Yeah, I burned the Pioneers save after I made sure it converted to Normal.

#

I did save a backup first in case it killed the Pioneer rewards.

outer cobalt
#

Anyone know what exactly the Myth Beacon is scanning for?

deep parrot
#

Not me, yet.

gusty berry
#

well I'm not sure if this still counts as datamining

tepid iris
#

speaking of that helmet

gusty berry
#

but that's the new banner for now

hearty karma
#

Also seems to be a bug with my freighter. Says I have a jump range of 353ly but I couldn't make a jump that was 184ly.

tepid iris
#

can you unlock that on PC with the save editor? kek

#

the xbox helmet

timid mist
#

okay so just tested this out

#

I'm at the "acquire the myth beacon" stage of the expedition

gusty berry
timid mist
#

i save edited the myth beacon into my inventory

tepid iris
#

the save editor is already updated?

#

I haven't used it at my new pc yet tbh

timid mist
#

it shows the stage of the misson as "checked off", but there are no new updates to the mission and the expedition does not progress

mental socket
timid mist
#

so it's definitely locked behind an update

dreamy oracle
#

starting system station should sell tritium btw

tepid iris
#

interesting

gusty berry
#

could be for a future one like you said

tepid iris
#

I really like how each new expedition feels fresh with the new saves

gusty berry
#

but that'd leave this one with fuckall rewards

deep parrot
timid mist
#

my mission log with the beacon in my inventory

#

like gumsk said I can "use" it from my inventory but nothing happens

#

it does a scan animation over the terrain but that's it

dreamy oracle
#

I just tend to need it for frigates, so

mental socket
#

no functionality

timid mist
#

yeah

dreamy oracle
#

they're getting better at hiding things from players

mental socket
#

I wonder if it may locate a building or something in the near future

timid mist
#

pretty glad they hid it lol

gusty berry
#

nothing much about the exact stage and what it advances to until the game updates/we get access to mission tables again

outer cobalt
#

I wonder if it is actually fully functional, considering the text for using is not quite what it should be I think

mental socket
#

just imagine if it located a time rift that took us to the past with cities etc

dreamy oracle
#

I wonder if that last line will change once it's useable lol

gusty berry
#

this is public branch, right?

timid mist
#

yeah it's definitely just a placeholder with the community progress gate

#

and yeah

gusty berry
#

this is uhh

outer cobalt
#

3xp and public both same currently

fallen warren
#

yep

#

so

#

RV1

#

just

#

doesnt exist for me

deep parrot
#

So, they've found a way to stop people from cheating things through, huh?

gusty berry
#

p fragmented to say the least

mental socket
#

or at least digging through all the secrets

#

hnmmm

timid mist
#

well you arne't supposed to have this stuff right now without save editing, all the stuff that's required for current content is intact

gusty berry
deep parrot
#

How do people feel about the new Launch Thruster upgrade modules?

gusty berry
#

yeah, tbh I haven't invested any time in trying to know how the time gating works

outer cobalt
#

RV1 is Moqemo?

tepid iris
#

I feel like I'm cheating with the golden vector ship 😛

deep parrot
#

XD

#

I feel pretty fair, using it.

vague oriole
#

Me too

dreamy oracle
#

okay. I've gotten enough storage on my freighter that I'm gonna dump all the rewards open now

tepid iris
#

did everyone get a C freighter?

#

or did I have bad luck lol

deep parrot
#

Yeah, we all got C rank Battleship Freighters, I think.

dreamy oracle
#

C

#

I got the Sentinel Battleship

deep parrot
#

Yours only has 3 segments?

#

Mine got 5.

tepid iris
#

segments?

deep parrot
#

I don't have a good word for them.

dreamy oracle
#

mine is 5x5 general if that's what you mean

deep parrot
#

The rectangular segments of the visual model.

mighty rampart
#

Lol wtf found a system discovered 5 years ago

deep parrot
#

Sentinels have 3 of them.
Battleships have 5 of them.
Dreadnoughts have 7 of them.

timid mist
#

lol sohail nice

tepid iris
#

this is mine xD

dreamy oracle
#

yeah, not all of these systems are brand new

tepid iris
#

by chance it's the small version of the huge one I have in my main save

deep parrot
#

Oh. So we all get different model Freighters. Interesting.

tepid iris
#

I have a literal black star destroyer in my main save lol

deep parrot
#

I don't know the names for all the Venator style Freighters.

timid mist
#

that's pretty much what mine looks like lol

deep parrot
#

I just know the Sentinel ones, cause I like them better.

tepid iris
#

I like how the hubs are discovered by Hello Games

gusty berry
#

aight that's basically all I found for now

#

decal object's not in game yet

deep parrot
#

They have to make sure the event locations don't get dumb names. XD

dreamy oracle
#

holy crap that's a lot of upgrades

#

I'm basically collecting all the 1-4 upgrades simaltaneously

#

just an ocean of yellow

#

but considering we get both liquid sun and fragmented qualia, I'd say something biological is afoot

deep parrot
#

I'm having a hard time telling what Beachhead's "theme" is.

#

Pioneer was clearly Exploration.

gusty berry
dreamy oracle
#

Phase 1: Exploration, getting up from being wrecked and abandoned.
Phase 2: Helping and recovering material from wrecks of others
Phase 3: Exploring new and varied worlds
Phase 4: The races, exploration, and Atlas
Phase 5: Something odd is afoot

#

seems like a loredump to me

steel wing
#

anyone finish the expedition yet

dreamy oracle
#

wreckage of the past from the history of the three races. and as we all probably know they were brought to their knees by the Sentinels, which are controlled by Atlas

#

seems like it's all buildiing up to something to me

#

shrugs

tepid iris
#

Is this mostly my thought

#

or are there less ppl doing this expedition than the first? 🤔

dreamy oracle
#

oh also, for every planet type we got a cultural artifact, whether that was biological or historyical

tepid iris
#

oh is that also something new?

timid mist
#

no it's just the things you dig up at buried ruins

hard timber
#

Are we still on 0%?

tepid iris
#

lol some Gek landed on my ship

mighty rampart
#

Can't find a NPC crashed ship

#

Really annoying

#

Burned through 15 charts

dreamy oracle
#

@thin furnace spoilers here.

Look for the system "Atlas Calling"

thin furnace
#

It's nearby Point 5?

dreamy oracle
#

yes, like within 150 light years

#

I think the Atlas questline activates once you've hit R5

#

it did something like that for me

#

I remmber going to the Anomaly to ask for a location, but Polo is just selling technologies, came back out, opened up the galaxy map, and Atlas Calling was there

#

then I went down the chain naming the planets and systems (save Atlas Calling, that was already done) with flavor text

mighty rampart
#

What's the name of the 5th rendezvous system

#

My teleporter list shows 4

thin furnace
#

All atlas systems are yellow, right?

dreamy oracle
#

someone was looking for R2, right?

dreamy oracle
thin furnace
#

I can't find Atlas Calling

#

There's a lot of systems within 150 lyr

tepid iris
#

what does the pulse splitter use as charge?

#

the bolts?

cloud joltBOT

@mighty rampart

Finding a Stranded Lifeform

See [Finding a Stranded Lifeform »](#nms-questions message)

subtle gorge
#

so do y'all mind if i dump all the lore i've gotten so far in here?

#

or nah

rancid ether
#

I think maybe spoiler tags would be nice since this is where the mods prefer we discuss expedition related stuff

#

I realize thats a bit out of step for the spoilers channel though

mighty rampart
#

yeah I already know the methods

dreamy oracle
#

Rendezvous Points are Always at the planet's ||Portal||

Rendezvous 1: ||Moqemo, planet Lotasham||
R2: ||Mappinerv, Planet Avan||
Rendezvous 3: ||Haykan-Hij, Planet Arcase||
Rendezvous 4: Notes says ||Diykkist XIV, does not specify planet. Probably Uerquel Wachi||
R5: ||Gauraz-Caeru Planet Iopek||

||Atlas|| Quest chain Begins at System ||Atlas Calling||

mighty rampart
#

its just taking way too long

dreamy oracle
#

Cheat sheet for y'all. for some reason the planet for R4 is not noted in the system

mighty rampart
#

For me R5 isn't noted, like as if I've never been there

thin furnace
#

@dreamy oracle You mind if I join on you in-game? I can't find the ||Atlas Calling|| system in the map

dreamy oracle
#

give me a couple minutes to get to a station and portal over there

thin furnace
#

Take your time!

#

No rush

subtle gorge
#

the thing i hate the most is how community research is tied to ||Historigraphical Data||

#

and not community missions

heady wyvern
tepid iris
#

thanks

dreamy oracle
#

whoa, just got a shitton of Atlas language information

#

I think it's probably a bug because I'm in the same system?

dreamy oracle
thin furnace
#

You'll have to send me a discord friend request, discord won't let me message you

#

wont let me send you a FR either

hearty karma
#

So is there not a quick way to get all glyphs in this expedition? It was how I was able to discover the systems I needed for the milestone last time. Just put a bunch of random glyphs in and took me somewhere far away lol

tepid iris
#

lol what

#

I warped and now I'm in someone else his freighter

mighty rampart
#

Yeah happened with me too

#

Custom waypoints for galaxy map is broken again

#

Thank god it at least showed me the path of my visited systems

dreamy oracle
#

worked for me to get back. granted I had finished ||Atlas|| and Rendezvous

mighty rampart
#

Kinda struggling with finding the station system

#

Nvm found it

#

It's exactly 78LY from R5 system

#

Damn bro

#

You really owned the libs epic style

#

Dab moment

timid mist
#

using twitch emotes in discord chat

#

Anyways

#

Is there more to the atlas storyline with this? I see a bunch of people mentioning atlas quest for some reason

#

Ik it's a requirement for a phase, done with all that

mighty rampart
#

That's it for now

dreamy oracle
timid mist
#

If there's nothing new we probably don't need to spoiler tag the word Atlas in the spoiler channel lol

mighty rampart
#

It's the system name

#

Anyway I'm done with everything possible

dreamy oracle
#

true

timid mist
#

same

#

did a bunch of the new lore things until i didn't get new stuff for a couple. might jump back in and do more in a few days if it isn't already completed by then lol

dreamy oracle
#

you've gone a ll the way to Gate of the Crimson Lord?

timid mist
#

i did the one required for the phase but didn't complete the whole questline

tepid iris
#

which planets are toxic again?

timid mist
#

any with fungal mould

tepid iris
#

high radio source was radiation 😛

#

ah so not gamma root

timid mist
#

yeah

#

solar vine -> scorched
cactus flesh -> desert

#

just for other peoples' reference if needed

tepid iris
#

thanks

#

did they improve performance again?

#

I'm now not dropping below 120 fps on average maxed out

#

but

#

I'm seeing way less players than on the previous expedition

#

so maybe the multiplayer was taxing

outer cobalt
#

RendezvousUAs:

266081857458867 = 00F2029852B3

100055635219126 = 005B049852B6
thin furnace
#

I saw you can apparently claim the historiograph thing in a normal save

#

Does that mean you can help fill out the bar on your main save?

#

And then return to the expedition save when it's filled?

mighty rampart
#

well no

#

since you cant get the item until you finish the phase

thin furnace
#

ah

#

welp

mighty rampart
#

you cant finish the phase because you need the myth beacon

outer cobalt
#

I have not been able to get any progress. Not even sure what it even scans for

tepid iris
#

I wonder if they'll raise the max save slots eventually

tepid iris
#

or will we have to delete old expedition saves at one point 😛

mighty rampart
#

oh what's the next mission then?

#

or it just refused to do anything since the beacon doesnt have a function yet

outer cobalt
#

No clue, as progress is behind community percentage 0%

mighty rampart
#

figured

#

disabled server side

outer cobalt
#

So getting it doesn't really enable much other than getting the check

mighty rampart
#

but the fact that you can get the meter on your main save implies some further use soon

outer cobalt
#

Did you see the image I posted earlier?

mighty rampart
#

yeah that definitely sounds like its to be used in tandem with the meter

outer cobalt
#

I might be able to fool completion, but what would be the point if it results in missing out and getting something that does nothing

mighty rampart
#

yeah dont risk it

outer cobalt
#

I tried to see if this would actually progress things, but it didn't so I left it there

kind salmon
#

Was this unlocked before?

dreamy oracle
#

as soon as you hit R5, pretty sure

kind salmon
#

ah

outer cobalt
#

I wanted to get a portal, but after choosing the Dosimeter at a Monolith you do not get a 2nd activation?

mighty rampart
kind salmon
#

ooh

kind salmon
#

So we know the final reward?

timid mist
#

we don't

#

locked at the myth beacon, editing it into your save doesn't do anything either

mighty rampart
#

No because the myth beacon can't be obtained aside from save editing and that might break stuff

timid mist
#

yeah i tried and it just did nothing

#

checked off the step in my mission but didn't unlock a next step or activate the expedition reward

kind salmon
#

Why did I just get 10 commercial charts in a row

#

from random

timid mist
#

the random one is always the same

#

depends on the system

outer cobalt
kind salmon
timid mist
#

so if you find one with ruins it should give only ruins

timid mist
#

yeah i just edited it into my inventory and it looked the same as yours

outer cobalt
mighty rampart
timid mist
#

maybe, but neither of ours worked so I'm guessing it doesn't matter in this case

outer cobalt
timid mist
#

sohail idk if any of the stuff for the next steps is even in the game yet

crisp fern
#

scan for new mission tagged location something something lore and some rewards

timid mist
#

even the entry for the beacon has placeholder text for the "use" action

tepid iris
#

so for the come to the aid of a stranded lifeform = luck out and run across one?

outer cobalt
#

I kept being told to buy it, so I did

mighty rampart
timid mist
#

yeah im guessing the mission and reward tables aren't even set up to do anything yet lol

mighty rampart
#

Yeah entirely possible

timid mist
#

@tepid iris you can use distress charts

#

but yeah it's basically luck from those

crisp fern
#

you might try adjusting things offline but it probably is just "unfinished" at the moment

mighty rampart
#

Though I don't think we'll get a sneak update, the content is probably there but disabled server side

timid mist
#

it would still need the icons and language file updates

outer cobalt
timid mist
#

maybe those are in there but from the digging i've seen there's nothing that gives it away

crisp fern
#

mm, those are outright missing atm? then yeah

mighty rampart
#

Nah I think phase 5 rewards aren't any new items

#

And the two new items will get their full function in a later update

timid mist
#

sure but language files would have more text around the next steps

cobalt scroll
#

so we are basically all stuck with universal anomalous research?

mighty rampart
#

So then they will have to update the game 🤔

timid mist
#

im kinda glad tehy didn't just toss everything in for people to datamine right away lol

crisp fern
#

I'm really just expecting more of the same sorta stuff we've seen tbh

Maybe some stuff is still WIP or they're withholding to avoid datamining, but eh

timid mist
#

im guessing the final reward is gonna be gold freighter like someone else said

crisp fern
#

ew tbh, lol

timid mist
#

i'm just curious what the myth beacon is supposed to actually do

#

don't really care about the further rewards

thin furnace
#

Hey

crisp fern
#

I'm betting scan for mission location maybe, if i read above right

thin furnace
#

the progress bar

#

just went up

mighty rampart
#

Nice

thin furnace
#

it's at 1% now

timid mist
#

nice

#

we did it

crisp fern
#

1%

outer cobalt
mighty rampart
#

Hopefully I'll wake up to more progress

crisp fern
#

goop, lmao

timid mist
#

ahh no it didn't that's the difference

#

so the trigger is buying it rather than just having it

mighty rampart
timid mist
#

I think you have to wait for the item to be updated to do something

crisp fern
#

currently it just runs a scan anim on use?

timid mist
#

cause it literally does nothing and has placeholder text

#

yeah

mighty rampart
#

Quite a weird setup

thin furnace
#

hm

timid mist
#

i think it's only weird because we aren't supposed to have it yet lol

thin furnace
#

If we don't reach 100% before the expedition ends, do we just... fail?

#

That's it?

timid mist
#

they'll adjust the goal

mighty rampart
#

We will reach 100% well before that

timid mist
#

they did it a couple times during community missions

crisp fern
#

Supposing the scan effect isn't just placeholder i could see it being for locating stuff to interact with several times again

mighty rampart
#

They can just do that thing your parents did and pretend you got more points even though you didn't

#

👍

timid mist
#

im guessing it'll be used to scan for something for the next step after it decrypts

crisp fern
#

yeah

mighty rampart
#

Each beacon is worth 80QS

#

So they really want you to use it multiple times

timid mist
#

it doesn't get consumed on use but that might change

crisp fern
#

if consumable big ew

mighty rampart
#

Definitely a consumable

timid mist
#

might get consumed by whatveer the mission mechanisms are

mighty rampart
#

No way they'll make it so cheap

#

If it wasn't

timid mist
#

eh it's an expedition unlockable

thin furnace
#

Ok, thank god that you can get the scans at Monoliths as well as Plaques

outer cobalt
#

Makes sense to be single use as an item, although that is currently obviously not the case

mighty rampart
#

Literally cheaper than fireworks and that's a consumable

crisp fern
#

omg...what if these are to locate archive buildings? lmfao

mighty rampart
#

No lol

timid mist
#

sure but it's for a one off expedition

mighty rampart
#

We can already do that

timid mist
#

making it expensive doesn't do much but limit completion

crisp fern
#

yeah but not easily/reliably

mighty rampart
#

They don't even have anything of that significance to do so

cobalt scroll
#

so i just played for 7 hours to be locked 3 mission before it ends? I can stop playing now right?

timid mist
#

yeah just wait until it completes or do the stuff to get more lore and contribute to the total

mighty rampart
#

Yeah though I think the progress goes up for all the people who are using the meter

#

Even though it said earlier that progress goes up for generally doing milestones

crisp fern
mighty rampart
#

They're not that dumb you know

crisp fern
#

I'm not suggesting they are

mighty rampart
#

It's going to be some sort of a glorified collectible or decoration

cobalt scroll
#

youre just supposed to scan with the mission tool right at sites that allow it? Thats how percentage goes up? Just want to confirm

outer cobalt
#

We get it to use for decryption, which progresses with community effort?

mighty rampart
#

Or something like living ships that it's useful but not a replacement for other ship types

#

Been really getting void egg vibes as that had a similar pattern

outer cobalt
#

Gold is the new Units ... I wonder what the sentinels have to do with gold

mighty rampart
#

Add the item, did nothing, then there was a community puzzle, and boom an update

crisp fern
#

gold is just there to be gaudy and obnoxious like rl

outer cobalt
#

Yeah, I don't like gold irl either

cobalt scroll
#

anybody elses percentage disappear?

tepid iris
#

I think I'm going to spend most of my time on the repair a ship and save the crashed lifeform missions lol

#

any tips on these?

outer cobalt
#

Prefer silver or titanium or some white metal shiny

timid mist
#

@tepid iris not really, just keep getting distress signal charts

mighty rampart
crisp fern
tepid iris
#

These also work to help find the crashed lifeform?

timid mist
#

you only need to repair the launch and pulse drives to complete it btw

#

yeah

mighty rampart
#

Yeah since it's a distress signal

tepid iris
crisp fern
#

oh, missions, right

tepid iris
#

do you get more scrap if you repair more?

mighty rampart
#

Usually an observatory that will then lead to a crashed ship or an ancient ruin

tepid iris
#

or doesn't that matter

timid mist
#

it finds crashed ships, crashed freighters, stranded pilots, abandoned buildings

crisp fern
#

went into auto-scavenge tip mode

outer cobalt
timid mist
#

no the expedition only lists the two things for you to repair

mighty rampart
#

Btw did anyone find it odd that the Atlas station milestone reward is the Starbirth mission chain stuff?

#

Just so you can skip on mining those items?

cobalt scroll
#

i cant even find that bar anymore lol its gone for me

timid mist
#

they might be updating it on the backend

crisp fern
#

may just have to reload or restart game or it may be the flaky network run by mrchins

scarlet carbon
crisp fern
#

probably not

scarlet carbon
#

Ik

#

But would be cool

crisp fern
#

that's why it won't happen seanbomination

Any lore hunters on the flux readings? So far after ||seven|| I'm only getting repeats. There seems to be ||three distrinct|| 'stories' in there. ||First about a lost weapon, the second about the fusion of Gek and Korvax, the third on repeating iterrations||.

subtle gorge
#

||did you get the one about the citadel||

sand karma
#

||Hmm nope, so I'm guessing the last few were bad RNG and there's still more out there!||

#

||I have three on the weapon, two on the fusion of cultures, and two on iterations||

mighty rampart
#

||Gek and Korvax fusion is probably a reference to the war where the korvax dropped their nanite juice on the newborn geks to make them docile ||

subtle gorge
#

||I have a few screencaps in a folder if y'all want em||

mighty rampart
#

Huh or maybe not

sand karma
mighty rampart
#

Anyway it's way past my usual sleep time so gn

sand karma
#

NN!

timid mist
#

@sand karma i don't know the pattern but there are "minor" and "major" flux events, the minor ones seem to repeat, and major ones seem to denote something new/significant.

#

when you activate the device if you look at the center of your screen it will say minor or major flux distortion or whatever

sand karma
#

Ah I had noticed the two events, but didn't put two and two together, thanks!!

timid mist
#

no problem! kind of aguess on my part but i did notice when it said major it was something new

#

minor was stuff like the || 16 16 16 || stuff

sand karma
#

I'd have to double check, but I think that lines up with my screenshots so far as well.

you can probably dump them in here with a spoiler tag, would be cool to see it collected somewhere

sand karma
#

I'm mostly just happy with lore stuff though. And super curious to see what that Myth Beacon will do. 😄

||• A lost weapon (…) a found weapon (…) always there when needed, awaiting its call, awaiting its duty.
• Few could handle such a weapon (…) few could understand it, fewer still could (…)
• From the very first, the weapon’s fate was known (…) the Prime (…) the first, the tip of the spear!

• A perfect, unique fusion (…) two minds, two cultures, two uses… Two fates.
• The gek (…) the Korvax (…) grah!

• Each iteration (…) each cycle (…) the patterns repeat, the patterns repeat, new patterns emerge!
• The birth of stars (…) the birth of stories (…) the same material, the same language!||

same. expecting it to be a glorified scanner lol but we'll see

crisp fern
#

do we think they may lead into eventful story missions, or simply remain some fluff btw?

sand karma
#

These are the ones I've been getting so far.

sand karma
#

The two weeks, the build up towards the beacon etc.

crisp fern
#

but haven't almost all of them to this point?

timid mist
#

hard to say without knowing what the beacon does

sand karma
#

True

timid mist
#

does feel very living ship esque in terms of setup

crisp fern
#

the weekend missions felt like a tease, too, after all...

sand karma
#

Yeah I was thinking about the build up to living ship as well, except using the expedition for a quick 2 hour detour 😄

crisp fern
#

i very much doubt it but could you imagine if this just led up to the incinerator/flamethrower thing

#

the weapon seems to be something else honestly

sand karma
#

Though that might be a bit underwhelming. 😛

outer cobalt
#

I also got this one @sand karma

timid mist
#

along the ||weapon|| storyline there is a note about it ||being used to pierce a metal dragon||

#

probably just symbolic though

sand karma
#

Ooh nice, haven't seen that one yet

outer cobalt
#

Another one

timid mist
#

yeah the 16 one i have gotten a few times lol

sand karma
#

Fits with ||the tip of the spear|| as well

crisp fern
#

ngl kzzkt really earning meme status

outer cobalt
timid mist
#

i found a whole bunch, i should've recorded them

outer cobalt

# outer cobalt

This one I have as well. Adding 16 with the iteration ones.

the epxedition

sand karma
#

Appreciated @outer cobalt added all of those to the document I have going 😄

outer cobalt
#

I have full cycles if you want

#

Just showed the 'Final Reading's only

sand karma
#

Sure! 😄

outer cobalt
#

Not sure if the part leading up to it is of any importance. Could still be new flavour though

sand karma
#

It might just be flavour, but it is always fun anyway :3

outer cobalt
#

I would have to organise it and take out duplicates

sand karma
#

Oh no rush, I appreciate the effort you've put in so far, and I'm just happy to be talking about lore stuff!

#

||Its destiny was among the stars (…) a leader, a beacon for all those who would follow (…) a path to places few could reach…)|| is particularly interesting with the Myth Beacon.

crisp fern
#

big ol' COME VISIT sign for in the galactic map, lol

sand karma
#

Perfection 😛

gusty berry
#

I hope they make a planet that crashes 90% of the players

#

so that "few could reach" would actually be true

crisp fern
#

that planet probably exists out there, we just have to hope they've found it and direct ppl there seanbomination

RDV points with MP on.

crisp fern
#

wut

waxen garnet
#

Ah shit sorry

#

RDV is short for Rendezvous in french.

crisp fern
#

aaahh

#

i thought that might have been what you were getting at, but wasn't sure

#

my brain was also blanking on wtf the gathering/meeting points were called

gusty berry
sand karma
#

I've found a system where the spawn point is in an under water cave rather than in space, does that count?

crisp fern
#

wait you mean the warp-in point? lmao

sand karma
#

Yeah

waxen garnet
#

Wow lol

crisp fern
#

nice

sand karma
#

Thought it was a one time bug, but worked every time

#

Don't know if I have the coordinates anymore, but I did post a screenshot on reddit 😛

crisp fern
#

I modded that in accidentally awhile back and it was the most exciting moment i'd had with the game in some time

#

was back when we were trying to figure out some of the global files

sand karma
#

Oh yeah I've been pretty excited about bugs in the past tbh

crisp fern
#

i'd stumbled across the warp-in positioning stuff or something

sand karma
#

Even the one where you would get one hit by lightning every respawn on certain planets and certain heights

#

That was dangerous as hell 😛

dreamy oracle
#

it still shows at 0% for me

#

maybe you've done so much that you single-handedly have done 1% of the requirements

crisp fern
#

sort of telling that sometimes the most exciting/enjoyable moments are when the game isn't working properly, lol

sand karma
crisp fern
#

nah, you could get the same vibe within 15-30 hours too

sand karma
sand karma
#

Though I kept finding smaller new things throughout the 200 hours and occasionally still now

#

Just not as big or exciting 😄

crisp fern
#

yeah, ultimately just depends on how you're playing

#

if you linger about specific types of system it can take longer vs. roaming each type for a decent chunk of time

sand karma
#

Absolutely. If you're like "let's find all cooking recipes"

#

Then you have another few months worth of content right there 😛
