But it's very much 'set your own goal'
#nms-spoilers
sand karma
crisp fern
to a point
sand karma
Which I guess Expedition is helping with
crisp fern
Expeditions are more for folks that have trouble with setting & following their own goals imo
Which isn't a knock against that type of player, btw
sand karma
Yeah that's what I meant, in case you don't want to set your own goals, you have that to keep your entertained 😄
grave oasis
It’s also a good way to shake off the rust after being away for awhile. Can’t beat the rewards it gives either. I think it’s awesome for new players. Got a few friends into the game via expeditions and how it gives ya a normal save after is a nicer start up than the usual.
sand karma
Oh yeah couple of friends of mine have given the game a shot again because of Expeditions as well
grave oasis
Anyone have any photos of the new expedition rewards? Doubt anyone got that far yet or can.
crisp fern
HG be like, "aw jeez why'd we do all that intro revision if we coulda done this?" lol
sand karma
Anyone have any photos of the new expedition rewards? Doubt anyone got that far ...
I have all unlocked, anything in particular you'd like to see?
There's probably quite a few people who have gotten as far as currently possible though.
Took me just under 2 hours.
grave oasis
I mean show it all off if you don’t mind
It inspires me to get it done if i know what it is im working for
sand karma
This is the ship, outfit pieces and emote
Otherwise just fireworks. Not available (but will be unlocked in phase 5) the normal game version of the ||Dosimeter|| (it seems), the decal and the banner
Oh and freighter recolor options, lemme see which ones those were 😛
Recolors didn't really unlock anything exlusive to Expedition I think
grave oasis
Hmm ok thanks for the the shots much appreciated
sand karma
No worries!
silver ferry
Took me just under 2 hours.
howd you do phase 5?
deep parrot
Yeah, color unlocks is everything except White and Black.
sand karma
Well you can't, but everything that you can do I did under 2 hours 😄
Just waiting on community progress now
sand karma
Currently it doesn't show on the other accounts, but neither do the banner and decal which are also locked in phase 5
So that might be a bug
silver ferry
oh
deep parrot
Or currently intended.
silver ferry
i also finished i just thought you were done phase 5
sand karma
Or currently intended.
I guess, though with the last Expedition we didn't have to wait until the end to unlock things at least. :3
deep parrot
Yeah. Things are being run differently, and it's clear the different operation is intentional.
sand karma
Guess we'll find out 😄
I don't mind either way though :3
Patience is a virtue and all that
deep parrot
I do hope at least the banner and decal is cross save eventually.
crisp fern
||gib universe regen button in-game||
sand karma
I do hope at least the banner and decal is cross save eventually.
Seems most likely tbh
People would be pretty annoyed otherwise
deep parrot
Know what would be a cool idea? To be able to "decommission" a ship at a base and turn it into a base decoration that doesn't count towards your owned starships.
silver ferry
hopefully the end reward is something big
sand karma
hopefully the end reward is something big
Well it just seems to be the ||Dosimeter|| but eyes are more on the Myth Beacon and whatever that'll bring 😄
subtle gorge
Here's all my stuff btw
I'll upload it legit later I'm in bed
This is a file I had on my computer
Something about a ||Citadel||
sand karma
Hero! 😄
subtle gorge
It's in order of appearance and most of it is probably stuff we already have but
I hope this adds some pieces to the puzzle
sand karma
I hope this adds some pieces to the puzzle
Yep that allows me to connect some minor dots already at least! 17 lines total right now.
grave oasis
I like the way this one is going. Quicker almost feels like the WT days...why don’t i have that role lol i have the dam physical atlas pass.
sand karma
I kinda thought the weapon was the Citadel
The way I'm reading it right now is that ||the weapon is the beacon||
subtle gorge
I think all of us who were there do
sand karma
||• The weapon followed its masters (…) arching through ruined cities that rose above the clouds…
• Its destiny was among the stars (…) a leader, a beacon for all those who would follow (…) a path to places few could reach…)
• Its heart was the heart of the galaxy itself (…) an infinite expanse of stars (…) to go wherever it was needed||
subtle gorge
Waking Titan was once in a lifetime
sand karma
Want me to repost the whole order I have right now for these?
It's a bit of a long message
sand karma
Oh no you can't finish it yet 🙂
grave oasis
Maybe it’s a portable portal generator so no more having to walk into the nexus or a space station. We can just warp to wherever whenever.
sand karma
Maybe it’s a portable portal generator so no more having to walk into the nexus ...
Well it says the weapon is ||a beacon for all those who would follow (…) a path to places few could reach…)||
Though if that applies to this is a ? of course 😄
grave oasis
Hmm
viral geyser
So where are you reading this TCO?
sand karma
You can unlock new lore during phase 5
viral geyser
Ahhh
viral geyser
I think it’s probably gonna pertain to a new update
sand karma
I mean we have a Myth Beacon to unlock and the lore is mainly talking about a weapon that's also a beacon I guess 😄
viral geyser
Wait
I’m starting to connect some dots
BEACHHEAD in military terms is about a point of defense or beacon that is used to defend off attackers
What if the beacon summons enemies?
sand karma
I'd love some PvE enemy summons tbh 😄
sand karma
Well additional challenges are pretty much the number one requested thing 😛
viral geyser
I don’t think it will be sentinels
sand karma
Also in case it helps someone else along 😄
uncut harness
is there a trick to finding an atlas station?
sand karma
Ask Polo where one is 😄
uncut harness
he just sells
sand karma
I'm really overusing emojis today
sand karma
he just sells
Hmm I did hear some people mention earlier that in certain circumstances Polo might not have that dialogue available
But I'm not sure about the specifics
Might be if you're doing the mission for example?
mental socket
I finished everything except for the encrypted ones that can't be completed yet and the atlas one and still polo just sells stuff
if I recall correctly you would need to progress in the main storyline to unlock that dialogue with polo
soo we just have to manually find a station
sand karma
if I recall correctly you would need to progress in the main storyline to unlock...
I didn't progress the storyline and was able to ask him :3
mental socket
weird stuff
so have we confirmed already that the rest of the missions are locked behind research tier now?
mental socket
I'd expect it's set up to be unlocked on the second week since the tiers aren't progressing at all
timid mist
I beleive you have to select the expedition milestone to find an atlas station and then leave/re-enter the anomaly for polo's dialogue to work
uncut harness
ill try that ty
sand karma
Oh, that might actually be it. I do believe I had the milestone selected because I remember it saying something about going to the Anomaly.
timid mist
yeah it worked fine for me but I had it selected before entering the anomaly so I didn't have to leave first
mental socket
let me try as well, I did try to select it before interacting but I guess it needs a reload of anomaly. Issue is my game automatically switches to "claim twitch rewards" and other random anomaly related missions as soon as I enter
sand karma
The claim twitch rewards thing is a tad annoying yeah :3
timid mist
def try leaving then selecting and re-entering, then just go straight to polo. if you get it overwritten by twitch rewards try just selecting the mission again then reloading the save or something. i had twitch rewards notifs too but it still worked for me, though idk my exact sequence of actions lol
uncut harness
no, polo still nothin, i bought 1 of each item he sells just to be sure...
sand karma
Wait what items is Polo selling?
I don't remembering Polo selling anything at any point. Just talking and giving me pointers. :3
uncut harness
modules,
mental socket
suit, ship etc
uncut harness
im sure ill come across aan Atlas station, its all i got to do now... just bummin around the galaxy XP
sand karma
Yeah, you have plenty of time with the community unlock as well 🙂
uncut harness
exactly (; patience is all needed in nms
mental socket
someone said there is a system right next to the final rendezvous with an atlas station
well thx but how am I supposed to find it 
sand karma
Oof
uncut harness
ye i left there a while Ago too
mental socket
where is it related to the system when looked towards center?
top, bottom, left, right
outer cobalt
If https://nmsportals.github.io/#005B049852B6 is the final rendezvous system, you could try changing some glyphs, as Atlas systems are always 07A for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th glyph. So that would be:
https://nmsportals.github.io/#007A049852B6
mental socket
another issue comes up now which is... expedition save doesn't have glyphs and I'm too lazy to scout for traveler graves
outer cobalt
another issue comes up now which is... expedition save doesn't have glyphs and I...
Ah yes, got several travellers, but indeed, not quite enough to use portals
Was said to be 78ly from R5 ... does that help?
mental socket
also for some reason galactic map doesn't highlight systems found by other players like before when doing the scan
I have to manually check each star until I see the name of that system
uncut harness
nm i can warp back to rendezvous 5 from portal
outer cobalt
Know what, I will do some scouting.
uncut harness
ill look from there
mental socket
I'm currently scouting it as well
outer cobalt
I will portal there and see if the GM is of any help
outer cobalt
I am there now
mental socket
what about a screenshot of the system from galactic map
uncut harness
umm can i get in on that? lol
mental socket
mind doing the waypoint line from 5th rendezvous too to make it easier to understand
sand karma
Ooooof, crossing my fingers for you 😄
outer cobalt
@mental socket Gauraz-Caeru is R5. Added path to core for additional direction
mental socket
thank you so much

Would that work for you?

The quest that isn't working is the myth beacon one, correct
meager stag
Yeah that's the one
mental socket
yes, quest is not even ready yet, the final rewards are also not ready
the banner is missing
outer cobalt
The quest that isn't working is the myth beacon one, correct
That is required to unlock first, but tied behind progress counter and not going anywhere at the moment
mental socket
they only have placeholders for the expedition reward
meager stag
Well... why launch the new expedition then. Thanks all, I shall wait until things are updated.
kind salmon
You should get up to the correct point
Because when we unlock it, you'll have to wait the 2ish hours till your done the first parts before seeing all the cool stuff
outer cobalt
Well... why launch the new expedition then. Thanks all, I shall wait until thing...
Agree, but so be it I guess. Soon™

Finally got a Freighter Crashsite! Took me only like 30 maps. T_T

I had been in a system where someone had built a base at a freighter crash apparently, because when I went to the station portal, it was on my list lol
Easiest goal ever
Thanks to that pal

I was about to place a Save Beacon at this crash site in Rendezvous 2, but I don't have the blueprint for it.

Okay, so I'm on the 16 / 16 / 16 task, "Visit the Atlas."
It has help text that says "Visit Nada on the Space Anomaly for assistance."
I spoke to Nada, but he only offers to trade Milestone data for Nanites. I did that and spoke to him again, and he's just waiting for me to have more Milestone data to trade for Nanites. This is the same behavior I had from Nada in Pioneers. I went to speak to Ares in case their roles somehow got swapped, but he just offers the same thing.
I spoke to Polo, since it's usually his job to give Atlas Station or Black Hole coordinates in Normal, Survival, and Permadeath, but just like in Pioneers, Polo is only offering to sell my technology upgrade modules for Units.
I spoke to Helios, but no unusual behavior there.
So, I need help. How do I target an Atlas Station when Nada and Polo will not help me find one.
dreamy oracle
which storyline?
deep parrot
Let me clarify, I am on Expedition Two, Beachhead.
dreamy oracle
Atlas Calling is the first one
deep parrot
Has something happened where you can progress the story on Expedition? I haven't had any Artemis signals.
Am I just the only one who can't do story on Expedition?
Need to update my question, since I forgot to mention I'm in the Beachhead Expedition when I posted that.
So I don't get asked about story again.
I am in the Beachhead Expedition.
Okay, so I'm on the 16 / 16 / 16 task, "Visit the Atlas."

dreamy oracle
once I map it out I plan on doing bus runs
I had a long time where I couldn't progress
and then someone else beat me to the next system and it's a generic system name
grr
plain gull
From rendezvous 5 system, the Atlas system is exactly 79LY away, called ”atlas calling” smth like that. Its a yellow star
timid mist
@deep parrot if you're still on the anomaly, select the mission, leave, then return
deep parrot
@timid mist Followed instruction, but am still getting this exact result.
timid mist
you need to talk to polo, the text is wrong
deep parrot
Okay. I'm going to talk to him, and as I said, he's only going to offer me to buy upgrade modules.
timid mist
if polo still isn't giving you the right options, select the mission, get in/out of your ship to save, then reload
plain gull
Or just look for it for 5 min
timid mist
i might have the order of operations wrong tho, it's a known issue and there's a known work around, but idk the exact steps
plain gull
Manually
mental socket
didn't work for me so I went to the atlas station system next to final rendezvous
timid mist
or yeah look for the system manuallly from the 5th rendezvous
deep parrot
How is this known workaround not a pinned help guide here?
mental socket
thank you so much
up there
timid mist
idk
plain gull
78LY away exactly, and called ”atlas calling ”
deep parrot
@timid mist Followed instructions. Still not working.
I'm gonna just have to do Wurpa's suggestion.
timid mist
Probably easier to just look manually then, if you aren't super far from the 5th rendezvous
dreamy oracle
you've been to the 5th rendezvous?
deep parrot
I've already been there.
silver ferry
Ohhh
plain gull
I had the same bug
deep parrot
This was the exact behavior Nada and Polo had for me when I was doing Pioneers too.
plain gull
A nice person told me this info, so trying to help others too 👀😆
deep parrot
So it's confusing me our vets here find this behavior strange and unexpected.
timid mist
i had polo offering blueprints at one point but it didn't cause an issue for me when i actually went to do the quest
just saw some peeps on here having problems and saw a fix being spoken about. haven't had to actually do it myself
dreamy oracle
I think that some of the atlas stations need certain amounts of the missions unlocked to open up
dreamy oracle
but a lot more are open now
timid mist
weird
dreamy oracle
and nobody else has been to them yet
silver ferry
Been to what?
deep parrot
If they are going to require the regular Milestone unlocks from Normal, Survival, and Permadeath, they need to not hide that tab on Expedition.
plain gull
Well what’s gonna happen with phase 5. Part 3
silver ferry
Well what’s gonna happen with phase 5. Part 3
No idea
Gotta wait till the bar is full
deep parrot
Wait till 24 hours has passed from Expedition start, and see if bar moved.
timid mist
i don't think any of that is required
plain gull
They must have smth else planned, if it goes this slow and its 2 weeks im a lil wortied
👀
timid mist
it's just not updating yet I'm sure
plain gull
Ah Hope thats the case
silver ferry
Yea
I think ittl update on a 24 hour basis
So I would wait till like
When did it start
plain gull
Well that would make everything more logical for sure
silver ferry
Whenever it started
timid mist
i think the update post was around 4 AM EST
plain gull
Should update in about.. 8-9 h?
timid mist
which is in just over 5 hours
silver ferry
But that was the update
timid mist
but idk when the actual expedition started
silver ferry
The actual expedition went live at about 9:45 am est
Thats my best guess
Somewhere around there
plain gull
A lil later
I Thank
Think
I was up 11am and it wasnt up
😆
But we Will see later on today, No stress here 💯

Mhm

yeah looks like sometime between 9 and 10 based on chat history in the server

do I have to actively participate in the expedition to benefit from the expedition rewards?
outer cobalt
2% a day, so that will be about 30% by the time Season 2 finishes?
royal osprey
It'll probably speed up a bit more before then but I don't see any way it'll reach 100% by the time the Expedition is over yeah
outer cobalt
It better speed up indeed
dreamy oracle
so much for that theory
dreamy oracle
above water. not sure if glitch or......
yes I got the key
vague oriole
It better speed up indeed
more ppl do the expedition > more ppl get access to community research > it goes faster
dreamy oracle
I'm also unconvinced that these are the actual numbers. some people got 1% hours before anyone else. I'm only at 1%
I think when there's a server sync we might see different numbers
then again maybe not
wind panther
Yeah the more people get to that stage it will start speeding up more and more. I think it will be ok for finishing before the end of the expedition

That's insane I scanned like 50 in one session yesterday
royal osprey
Yeah I dunno what they were thinking 
hybrid pendant
@wind panther i have a bug that others have is that we got an emote that can be unlocked with Phase 2 and 3 rewards but we claimed it with twitch rewards
is there a way to make this emote go from our save?
wind panther
Blocking you from claiming rewards?
wind panther
Have to go to raw JSON and remove that emote from the known specials, I believe. I'll work it out tonight. I'll purposely get that emote so it triggers
hybrid pendant
its the heroic pose for phase 2
wind panther
It's the same as the bug in the last expedition that everyone kept claiming was multitool based, when it wasn't
hybrid pendant
and phase 3 is a helmet
i think i claimed those with twitch drops and it made the Phase 2 and 3 reward bugged because i have them already
wind panther
I'll just need to lookup the item codes. I wish Goatfungus would add specials to the GUI
And I don't have a clue how to fix it for consoles :(
They'll have to work out some sort of hotfix most likely
hybrid pendant
i think console fuckt until a fix
bitter hedge
Yeah I dunno what they were thinking <:whwhat:752678563496591411>
I think they overestimated how many players would actually grind it as opposed to wait for others to do it and considering I did nothing but scan artifacts and monoliths for about 3 hours and we're only at 2% this expedition seems impossible
wind panther
But very few people have started the expedition yet I would guess, and only a small percentage of those pushed through that far already. You're in a very tiny minority of players actually working on it yet (all conjecture)
hybrid pendant
I think maybe they made it soo a small percentage of people do it and have that item
Soo that people group together to help find monolith
wind panther
Modding is going to help with this, making the monolith scan range longer
bitter hedge
Again I wish we had some sort of numeric value rather than an arbitrary percentage to a mystery value
hybrid pendant
@wind panther i bet we also gonna be able to know what the beacon do in advance
wind panther
I gave myself one yesterday and couldn't get it to do anything yet
But no idea what the proper usage is
vague oriole
does anyone know what the phase 5 milestones are btw
hybrid pendant
@wind panther maybe it need that decoding thing with it to work?
bitter hedge
Up to the 3rd objective we do yes
forest jay
If there was an actual end numeric value for it I'd be way more motivated rather than just toying around on my phone between hyperdrive warps.
I hate percentages.
vague oriole
Up to the 3rd objective we do yes
what are they
wind panther
I think it's time for whiskey and legit expe..diting?
vague oriole
i call it beachheading
hybrid pendant
@wind panther its a good trip quite fast paced compared to season 1
wind panther
I am still thinking maybe a tease to lore based Prime galaxies
bitter hedge
what are they
Get to expedition point 5, scan 3 artifacts with the new mcguffin and then smash your head repeatedly against more artifacts to move a percentage
forest jay
1 is rendezvous 2 is Flux readings (using the reward item in ancient sites 3 times) and 3 myth beacon which is an item locked by community progress.
bitter hedge
Yep
vague oriole
don't you get the dosimeter in normal saves after phase 5
wind panther
I'll have to make a bunch of myth beacons and give them out at the Nexus
forest jay
You get it earlier in your expedition save
vague oriole
yes
but
if we have to finish the dosimeter research for the expedition
then whats the point in getting the dosimeter on another save
or do you get it on the r5 milestone on normal saves
wind panther
It just have a use later, outside of the expedition, too
bitter hedge
As a Gek I find this a waste of time and time is units xD
forest jay
I'm hoping it's used for quick silver farming for no lifes
vague oriole
cos i heard that to get it on normal its phase 5 overall
vague oriole
I'm hoping it's used for quick silver farming for no lifes
lol
well
ig its a good nav data sink
bitter hedge
I just like to imagine Sean watching a leaderboard that only he can see to watch who's scanning the most artifacts.
vague oriole
honestly when game devs make us all work towards a task i just think "meh we'll make it"
this is the first time ive been worried about one of those
forest jay
I got 15 QS each run. So while it's a far cry from what you get from the nexus, as a no life who wants literally everything from the QS shop but is impatient af I'd farm the living gek outta the dosimeter
hybrid pendant
im not wooried at all
wind panther
We can find ways around it
hybrid pendant
@vague oriole they will make it go faster if its stlow
bitter hedge
Lets do a test, everyone who is at the phase 5 grind say Seanpls
hybrid pendant
😒
wind panther
Like maybe take away the requirements to activate the item, so you can spam it anywhere
forest jay
I just hate feeling like I contribute nothing because I can't see a personal meter for what I've done towards the unlock.
bitter hedge
I just hate feeling like I contribute nothing because I can't see a personal met...
This
wind panther
No, my solution is one solution, if we really wanted to
vague oriole
why does tier not work here
bitter hedge
😒
I only ask cause it would be nice to see how many of us are at that stage and we can group up and work together, all grind the same system or something.
forest jay
I'm used to soloing most things in games so community stuff throws me off
hybrid pendant
@forest jay u know how insane logistic that would be to be able to track thousands of players statistic
like u cant ask that to an indie studio that thing can probably be made by triple a companies that have that kind of logisitcs
vague oriole
if all the ppl here grinded at the same system we would've finished every plaque in like 2 minutes
forest jay
Nope because I suck at mathematical knowledge. But if that has a numeric value on the goal we'd know how far we're going for
vague oriole
plaque not plague lol

Example just like only the player could see their custom ship name why not make it so only the player can see their contribution and also change it from x of y percent community completion progress to x percent of y total community progress. Clearly they know how much they want us to complete. It's us that don't know how much we need to complete
vague oriole
also lets have a bit of a throwback

Looks like @hybrid pendant gets his informations from the right place 😜
vague oriole
or is better at guessing ig
hybrid pendant
@vague oriole dont give me credit like
i feel like most people would find it natural that it would be straight after Season 1 ended
vague oriole
i just said it was a kinda notable moment
i believed that too but then i kinda doubted if hg could keep up doing them back to back with new milestones
forest jay
I expected it to, tho my friend group doubted it. I am however surprised to see NMS have a season system now. Feels like all games are going that way these days.
vague oriole
it doesnt
it's just some rewards that you can get
the game is the exact same
you can literally ignore it and play normal mode if you dont care about cosmetics
forest jay
Feels like an equivalent to one to me. A set of rewards that are timed exclusives from set goals.
And most games with em are cosmetic I believe. I usually avoid partaking tho. I hate timed exclusives cuz it feels like you missed out on chunks of a game. Tho I like that in this case it's just ships and what not.
vague oriole
nms is prolly not gonna give us more functinal stuff anyways
it seems the vector was the only thing that wasnt a decal
forest jay
Hope so. I'll be happy if it stays like this. It's fun to partake in community stuff but it sucks when it starts to feel like games are punishing you for being busy or wanting to play another game for a bit.
vague oriole
you could say they were punishing you for not having a billion years of lifetime to explore all the planets anyways
hybrid pendant
weird it said the reward is the thing u can take on quicksilver guy but i did go there but couldnt pick it
🤔
dreamy oracle
hey folx, what %-age are you at for anomalous research? Because I hear people saying we're at 1, 2, or 3%
I've got a theory that the people that have a percentage point have single-handedly done that % of the TOTAL number of scans needed, because they're not consistent.
hybrid pendant
i feel kinda stuck
vague oriole
then why is the galactic atlas at 1%
hybrid pendant
dont know what to do
vague oriole
today ill clear the remaining milestones and then ig its all grinding
dreamy oracle
how does the galactic atlas work?
hybrid pendant
maybe i need to find some monolith
mighty rampart
weird it said the reward is the thing u can take on quicksilver guy but i did go...
of course, you have to wait until its unlocked for all of us
dreamy oracle
is it self-reporting or is it pulling from an API?
vague oriole
its an official site
mighty rampart
self reporting since its by the devs
hybrid pendant
@mighty rampart but people have it ?
vague oriole
maybe sean is not at work
vague oriole
its 9 am in the uk
uncut harness
8am in the UK.
mighty rampart
you can save edit it in but its useless
dreamy oracle
don't some people have 2%?
mighty rampart
lemme check
dreamy oracle
I thought I saw someone saying they had 3%
hybrid pendant
@mighty rampart what that?
vague oriole
the dosimeter
hybrid pendant
And u said no one has it ? @mighty rampart
indigo night
you get it for free
hybrid pendant
Is it maybe because i didnt collected all the reward ?
vague oriole
you get it for r5
mighty rampart
don't some people have 2%?
1% for me
hybrid pendant
cant it says inventory full
its the heroic pose but i got it already from my twitch drops
soo it bugged
soo i need to find a way to remove this heroic pose from my save to get the reward
hybrid pendant
yeah but i need to have those reward to get the dosimeter no?
mighty rampart
No
forest jay
You forgot to accept it from rendezvous five Didn't you?
hybrid pendant
FUCK ME
forest jay
Oh lol
hybrid pendant
can someone throw me a plasma grenade thanks
forest jay
Could be worse at least you accepted it
hybrid pendant
yeah i have it
mighty rampart
Now go find 3 ancient sites and interact with them
dreamy oracle
gonna now see if that changes anything
forest jay
Some of my friends didn't realize you could accept the rewards till I told em
dreamy oracle
considering that there were atlas sites next to R5 and a whole line of them really close together
mighty rampart
Almost all of them work (the ones with a bigger interactable thing)
Monoliths, ruins, plaques
hybrid pendant
gonna buy some
dreamy oracle
Someone beat me to the next Atlas station twice
hybrid pendant
maps
dreamy oracle
2/10 times
shit. there's 1 more
wait, no, Heart of the Sun is the final one
I may have spent the better part of a day working on this, but if it works, then that will be awesome
mighty rampart
I have a bad feeling we're not supposed to do the Atlas mission chain
vague oriole
i didnt checked my inventory
but didnt you just send a screenshot of it
mighty rampart
there ARE unique interactions for the entire Atlas Interface chain
Really? They're the same for me
dreamy oracle
worst case scenario I derped around for a while while I couldn't actually do anything else
mighty rampart
Yeah
mighty rampart
The mission appears in your log
Which is why it's a little disconcerting to me
The space anomaly mission is also bugged
dreamy oracle
with fancy names and everything
dreamy oracle
<@!208184466693160961> did you just do it blind?
YES
vague oriole
no looking at milestones
dreamy oracle
which is how I lost the naming rights to one of the systems
dreamy oracle
I just went nuts with missions and talking to everyone and learning all the words
dreamy oracle
yeah but all but 1 systems in this atlas path have custom names
vague oriole
in expeditions it seems rendezvous systems have npcs of all races
dreamy oracle
it's telling me to go to the next Atlas Interface, so I'm gonna go poke at it
dreamy oracle
yes
mighty rampart
in expeditions it seems rendezvous systems have npcs of all races
Like inside of minor outposts?
dreamy oracle
I'm gonna be the first one to make it there
dreamy oracle
I know because except for the first system and one in the middle I have made it to every system first and only

Question regarding the current Expedition -|| I'm trying to do the 16/16/16 milestone, I have it selected, I talk to Nada, and - nothing. I never get an option to get an Atlas station marked on the galactic map. Any tips on un-blocking this?||
vague oriole
I'm gonna be the first one to make it there
tell us how it goes
mighty rampart
Space stations already had mixed races
vague oriole
Question regarding the current Expedition -|| I'm trying to do the 16/16/16 mile...
you need to talk to polo
mighty rampart
Since 2.0
vague oriole
they did?
bold quail
you need to talk to polo
Well that's annoying - the milestone clearly says talk to Nada... heh
vague oriole
im sure in normal its just the dominant race
dreamy oracle
First Contact
vague oriole
do atlas stations count for the dosimeter
mighty rampart
No
dreamy oracle
For anyone who finds this useful, the 5 Rendezvous Systems and the Atlas System
here's a link to the start of Atlas
I will shortly have a complete listing (except for one that I lost) of every single Atlas station
in this chain
bold quail
When I talk to Polo - they just offer to sell me technology... No Atlas station location. 😦
vague oriole
alora discovered the atlas calls one?
mighty rampart
Yeah it's broken
dreamy oracle
no
I did not discover Atlas Calls
I named the planets, but did not d iscover the system
dreamy oracle
oh my god.
The Atlas Path
"SPeak with the Atlas"
vague oriole
ive been seeing a lot more corrupt traveller guys recently
dreamy oracle
this is after heart of the sun
vague oriole
oh my god.
The Atlas Path
"SPeak with the Atlas"
thats just the normal atlas quest
mighty rampart
Yeah
dreamy oracle
yeah ookay
vague oriole
is it normal
dreamy oracle
well whatever, the Atlas Quests will have nicely named systems this time arond
bold quail
Alora - yeah, but I can't get any atlas stations marked in order to go to one...
vague oriole
if yes then its an easier way to grind
bold quail
Seems the questline when talking to Polo is broken for me. 😦
If there's a way to get it unstuck, I'd love to know it.
dreamy oracle
yeah this is looking familiar
vague oriole
select the space anomaly mission
dreamy oracle
there are dosimeter options at the atlas stuff
bold quail
Yeah, tried selecting the space anomaly mission - Nada just wants to sell me tech..
vague oriole
yeah this is looking familiar
"blah blah blah, see what the atlas sees, be the creator, birth a new star"?
bold quail
It tells me to select "Alone Amidst the Stars" - don't have that mission...
Even tried jumping a system and coming back onto the Anomaly
dreamy oracle
F me. I need 8 more seeds
vague oriole
those dont need seeds
vague oriole
you just interact with them
dreamy oracle
sigh
mighty rampart
can you dosimeter them
No
dreamy oracle
Indium and Gold
not yet, but I'm 2 stages away
I have the Indium on my freighter
if this works I am going to be so fucking smug lol
I don't really expect it to though
there. 2 hearts of the sun. thank you freighter with cargo that doesn't have wireless networking because I've been focusing on this for the last 12 hours
on and off, mostly on
vague oriole
why 2 heards of the sun
forest jay
Always two there are, a master and an apprentice. No more, no less.
forest jay
Jokes aside how's everyone's progress?
vague oriole
its at 1%
but
ppl only had 1 day
and part of it was getting to r5
we've only had a couple hours
and not a lot of ppl have the dosimeter yet
dreamy oracle
it was at 1% within like 4 hours of it going live for some people
forest jay
I meant milestones in general lol.
Got bored after hording a couple cargo stacks worth of navs figured I'd see what y'all are up to.
dreamy oracle
me hikes back to my starship because the HEart of the Sun was inside it
vague oriole
is the station that big
dreamy oracle
I think there may have been a jamming effet
vague oriole
im starting to feel like well get a chain of lore related expeditions
leading to update 16
dreamy oracle
oh shit
forest jay
I'm curious about something now. What if the dosemiter interactions tell a story like with the underwater thing last expedition and in order for a players community progress to count they have to of done enough to finish that tale and make it loop.
Y'all noticed the dosemiter spouting the same stuff or is it different each time?
bold quail
I found a thread on Reddit that directed me to a system near Rendezvous 2 that has an Atlas station in it. Decent work-around.
mighty rampart
Y'all noticed the dosemiter spouting the same stuff or is it different each time...

can I tame these creatures that are multiple creatures?
mighty rampart
cant tame exotics
forest jay
It'd be so cool if we could tame anomalous pets like those. I saw floating exclamation marks on a planet last week. Was so sad they weren't tamable. Imagine walking through the anomaly with an exclamation mark following you everywhere lmao
vague oriole
having a pet hexagon
mighty rampart
and cant tame any of the new creatures added in 3.0 except the crystal insect thingies
dreamy oracle
okay
now comes the easy part. going back through and bundling the coordinates
in roughly the right order
but really, I'm 99% surethere were dosimeter options for all but the last Atlas thing
mighty rampart
what coordinates?
forest jay
If it's glyphs do photo mode
forest jay
You figure it out then?
vague oriole
did you do the hide thing
dreamy oracle
I think so? I don't know how to undo it
vague oriole
just press the hide button again
mighty rampart
basically time it in the way that the glyphs appear along with the keybindings hint, then wait a few seconds for the hint panel to disappear
then take the screenshot via Steam
forest jay
I forget most of y'all are likely steam or PlayStation
Can the random ship traders that dock at space stations sell dihydrogen?
mighty rampart
no
forest jay
Just my luck lol
Welp that was some time wasted. At least I restocked in tritium and uranium tho
vague oriole
dihydrogen huh
there is a way to get a lot of it
craft jelly
refine it
crafting needs 40 and refining it gives you 50 back
forest jay
Oh yeah I forgot about that. Used to farm it like that before I quit playing for a few months. Thanks. I could also probably buy dihydrogen jelly now that I think about it
forest jay
I keep running out of launch fuel between dosimeter runs
This'll solve that problem now
vague oriole
you can find a system which sells uranium
forest jay
Yeah I stocked up on that too.
Might search for a new system to hunt on tho. Aggressive sentinels are starting to get annoying
dreamy oracle
oooooh, 2 for 1 as I come in for a landing to register the planets
wait, no, that's just how the ruins fell this tim

the only way to make this view better would be to have the black hole i nthe shot

I literally discovered a planet called "home" by default. That's funny. More so because it's a desert one and I had decided my geks gear would be desert themed for this expedition.
placid latch
Any new content rewards for this expedition? I couldn’t see any other than the banner.
mighty rampart
yes
placid latch
The beacon eh?
mighty rampart
hopefully its a bug
placid latch
Didn’t see that.
vague oriole
you cant get the myth beacon yet
mighty rampart
yeah the dosimeter is the expedition reward for all saves and the myth beacon is a community reward after we get 100% on it
placid latch
Ah dosimeter is for testing rad exposure. Interesting
vague oriole
Ah dosimeter is for testing rad exposure. Interesting
its not
viral yarrow
Oh really? No one knows how to do it yet?
placid latch
I see
viral yarrow
I just finished up everything
placid latch
I think thanks guys
mighty rampart
no the function is straight up locked
viral yarrow
Except this mythic beacon jazz
mighty rampart
if you try to save edit it in
dreamy oracle
black hole time
forest jay
Pretty much once you hit the beacon milestone all you can really do to progress is wait for others to finish the community milestone or go around collecting dosimeter data to try and help the community progress it.
placid latch
Pretty short expedition no?
mighty rampart
ye
wind panther
The last one took me 18 hours. If this one takes about 4, that's right on schedule for availability:length
dreamy oracle
back to the beginning
freighter teleporters would be SUCH A nice thing to have
hangar bay to bridge
no more atlas quests
forest jay
Dude that'd be great, just setting a portal hub in it then instantly going to command center, farm, storage or fleet command.
dreamy oracle
I mean short-range teleporter
forest jay
Is there a difference? I haven't actually ever unlocked teleporters for base building. (Mainly cuz I have yet to find somewhere I wanna set up at long-term) I just know I've seen alotta people use em in farms
dreamy oracle
if anyone wants a Taxi from R5 to Atlas Calls I can do that now
I'mgonna be going through the Atlas systems to get coordinates
it looks like I might be able to go through Atlas again
that's handy
teleporters are from one point to another
portals go from planet to planet and can connect to anything
forest jay
Welp after way too many hours of Play got my first expedition crash. Definitely an improvement over my experience last expedition.
dreamy oracle
2 portals can only ever connect to each other
forest jay
Oh I just meant them ones they use to go from building to building
dreamy oracle
or they're.....they're all like the last one now
there's a max range on teleporters
vague oriole
3.36 fixed a lot of mp crashes
forest jay
Would make getting to different freighter section's quicker
That's good
Had alot of really annoying ones last expedition
forest jay
Been working pretty well on base Xbox one so far. Pretty sure the only reason for that last one was a ludicrous amount of consistent time played combined with me spamming scans nonstop.
dreamy oracle
still new to coordinates so TIL you can get coordinates while in space
vague oriole
you can?
dreamy oracle
I just did
I presume you can because some of the coordinates are telling you which planet you land on
though I probably should land on a planet to be sure
vague oriole
where do you see them
dreamy oracle
same as on the planet
must have been close enough
is there a working portal around here yet?
vague oriole
but where do you see them
dreamy oracle
picture mode
dreamy oracle
same thing?
vague oriole
no
coordinates are the ones you get from signal boosters
lets say the glyphs for atlas calls are 
but the coords are 0AB5:0083:0184:007A
WE DID IT
bitter hedge
So I have now scanned over 100 ancient relics... the fact that this thing is still at 1% concerns me immensely
bitter hedge
My log says 1% doe?
vague oriole
the site and gunter say 2
forest jay
You and me both but I'm done for tonight. I'm curious how much it'll be when I get back on tomorrow. Assuming we continue accelerating
5 hours for another percent
Crazy
vague oriole
well
we wont
more ppl get their dosimeters over time
more ppl grind
we got 2% faster than 1
check !tier and https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/anomalous-research regularly
bitter hedge
What concerns me is I thought about the future objectives... what if the future things are "Get Myth thing" "Scan 3 things with Myth thing" "Have another community goal with this myth thing forehead." lol
forest jay
It's a summoner
bitter hedge
Good point.

Hopefully we've been sacrificing all this data to the data gods nada and polo to summon Cthulhu

dreamy oracle
okay. got the entire Atlas loop plotted
dreamy oracle
For anyone who finds this useful, the 5 Rendezvous Systems and the Atlas System
this first
After "The Atlas Calls," it's "Deeper In, The Atlas Sings"
then you're off to -= 16 // 16 // 16 // 16 =-
-=- Boundary Error -=-
coming soon after
Patherfinder's the next stop
And then Tologor XIX--aka the system where I accidentally the entire system's name
vague oriole
so the atlas path is special in ecpedition?
tame shell
petition to pin these, like with the rendevous systems
vague oriole
so there is no point in doing more than the first station right?
dreamy oracle
there are still more
just realized I'd missed coordinates for one system
I missed this one because I thought I was stuck. if I had grinded a little harder I could have gotten here first. I only got to name half the planets and the names show I'm a little salty about that
here's where I started to get a bit wordy in planet names in Atlas Observatory
vague oriole
wait
dreamy oracle
If I could go back and fix it I would rename this Fire of Atlas. ah well. This one is next
vague oriole
are those systems discovered by hg
dreamy oracle
Next is Heart of Atlas, the penultimate Atlas Installation
vague oriole
"choice"
dreamy oracle
Then Soul of Atlas where you make your choice
dreamy oracle
And finally Gift of Atlas, the Black Hole system that loops you around to Pujarmu, the starting system for this Expedition
none of these were found or named by HG. most were found and named by me
but it's a fun thing to have, with some flavor to the systems, except where I fucked up or didn't get there first
dreamy oracle
I'll do a writeup about this tomorrow/today, but I've been up for like 30-36 hours and the sun is about to come up. even if it ended up being for naught, I had fun doing this
no
vague oriole
did hg discover it?
dreamy oracle
I named the PLANETS there, but I did not get The Atlas Calls
no
that was someone else, who inspired me to do this
sky is brightening as I type. I need to dive under covers. I'll make a reddit post later on today
bitter hedge
One thing about the research though is it asks for both History and Language, does learning words also add towards the research progress?
mental socket
Nope, only when using the dosimeter and taking the historical readings
vague oriole
for language just talk to npcs
placid latch
Hi sorry, is this nada and polo stuff seperate to the expedition? Can I do it on my main and count towards whatever the rewards are?
vague oriole
you cant since you need the dosimeter, we dont know how you get it on normal yet
bitter hedge
3%
placid latch
And to get it in expo I need to go see polo and nada? Sorry, grinding freaking hard, just got on last hour, trying to know out really easy stuff
mighty rampart
the dosimeter? that's a milestone reward
placid latch
Ah ok cool
mighty rampart
visiting the 5th rendezvous
placid latch
Right, sorry on the program now
bitter hedge
Change I to we and 100 to that's cute
We have to scan a ton of sites
Way more than 100

no

I knocked out like 75 today. Shits mad boring

I knocked out like 75 today. Shits mad boring
I've done 100+ so far
I've stopped counting

its a phase 5 reward
not the milestone
go look at it
its not available
it is there
you cant get it

they only give it on normal saves after its useless ig
or it has another use
you do

I knocked out like 75 today. Shits mad boring
wtf I didnt do more than 4
mighty rampart
y'all crazy
bitter hedge
y'all crazy
Someone has to do it
vague oriole
where did you find the nav data
bitter hedge
Well this party has been pooped lol
vague oriole
theyre not gonna let their development efforts go to waste
mighty rampart
I am right as that's what happened in the past
dont recall exactly which tier stuff it was but the progress wasnt happening at all and then one day it shoots up like mad
and its done
mighty rampart
oh wait it was for void egg lmao
mighty rampart
it was a dumb idea
their loss
should have kept it to doing milestones in general
vague oriole
yes
they shouldve kept that and let us do the research later for as long as we want
its going way faster now
bitter hedge
What is?
vague oriole
the research
its already at 3%
in the time we it hadnt even gotten to 1
not you
but there is a gauge in general
use !tier to check
nope
bitter hedge
Anyone keeping track of the messages though on the scans? Its talking about a weapon killing a metal dragon and such lol
bitter hedge
Its random but you can piece it together
wind panther
Definitely some server-side stuff going down to slow us down. (which I support, FYI)
And to prevent us actually progressing
wind panther
Nothing new in the quicksilver merchant either, with all quests completed
kind salmon
Ol
Ok
Ik there won't be but I really hope there's a version of that golden freighter but venator

From everything I've seen, it's not currently in the files

Oh, two titles. Yay
Aha so they ARE hidden
