[inner salmon]

Oh thank you

I appreciate it

[nocturne cargo]

Alternatively u can use exocrafts Especially the colossus. Place items in which ever exocraft u have or all of them.. make a save...take all the items out of the exocraft(s).... fly to the nexus(DO NOT GET OUT OF YOU SHIP OR IT WILL CREATE ANOTHER AUTOSAVE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START OVER).... donate an item that u can spare losing to any player(dont be shy since u are using them without thier knowledge).... once the item is confirmed sent reload your save and you should have all the items in your inventory and they should also still be in the exocrafts.

I've done this many times and keep different items in each. It does not autosave exiting the exocrafts so u can use all of them in one go just more time consuming then dropping the few items u want to dupe in the colossus from you inventory tab.

https://youtu.be/ZjaR61_HYgA

That's a link to professor cynical who has plenty of glitches vids but that's the exocraft one specifically. You can also search jason plays, survival Bob, elite games, and pretty sure xaine's worls has some too but he has more guides and info.

[main verge]

Yo travellers, would someone give me a link for a guide about cargo glitch building by any chance?

[main verge]

(I mean freighters 🙃)

[winter obsidian]

Could anyone test to see if the scale glitch still works. I can't get the wire to duplicate anymore 😬😬

[void harbor]

It wasn't working for me, but admittedly I suck at it, also I can only hold 2 eggs now instead of 6

So weird stuff from update maybe

[quick herald]

Still works for me, but i stopped using wires as the scaled duplicate

I use a table lamp now

[winter obsidian]

Ah I got it to work. Started a new save for expo 1 and forgot that I don't actually have the wire xD

I do now though

[winter obsidian]

Is it better to use an item like that?

[quick herald]

I prefer it. Its easier to have an idea of how much its scaled

[winter obsidian]

Ah I see

[quick herald]

I find it easier to work with personally
(i dont have a table lamp unlocked on Exp yet)

I use the table lamp because it doesn't randomly tilt on terrain like this plant does, so i can be sure whatever i scale is facing upright

[winter obsidian]

Ah that makes sense

The lamp can only face one way which is upright

[white relic]

No idea how old this may be, as I only began using the function today. When I use the Move function to move a solar gen or a battery, I can move them but I still get full mats and keep them after moving, as though I'd dismantled them.

[pseudo zephyr]

What is this technique? I failed to find it on yt. I only know resizing with wires

[quick herald]

Exact same method but instead of the wires, i just use a scaled lamp instead.
Switching back to wire mode after duplicating the lamp briefly brings back the original part stored but at the same scale as the lamp.

@grand tinsel any chance the vid i posted with the 'Scale Anything' glitch could be pinned here? I can make an alias but about to run to dinner.
Here's the comment with the link #nms-legacy-ships message

[grand tinsel]

Sure

[quick herald]

I'm probably going to make a video showing the lamp method anyway. I find the wire method to be somewhat chaotic if you arent super knowledgeable about wire rotation (which i am not lol)

[pseudo zephyr]

ty

[quick herald]

If it still isn't clear, let me know. I'll @ you when I make the tutorial vid.

[drowsy cairn]

Does the walker brain nanites glitch still work?

[gleaming minnow]

@grand tinsel I guess you could use the 'Universal Adjacency' glitch, using small cube with pyramid to get the floor in any of the attachment options (sideways, upside down)

[grand tinsel]

My poor pyramid lost all the angled snap points

[gleaming minnow]

Hmmm

[grand tinsel]

Wedge, paving, cycle part maybe

[gleaming minnow]

I have not messed with glitch building too much yet, but following the video for upside-down floor, it makes sense to put the pyramid on the side instead of below the small cube to get it upright instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81jcft7aGLE

[grand tinsel]

😄 that's what I'm looking at now

[gleaming minnow]

I thought so, but had to make sure we watched the same

I just use Blender; <R> <Y> 90, done!

[grand tinsel]

[gleaming minnow]

Going to try

[grand tinsel]

Same, practicing now with the first example, floor and cube

[quick herald]

Are you trying to go vertical?

[grand tinsel]

Yeah

[quick herald]

There is a method using the pyramid, large wedge, and raised paver.
#no-mans-sky message

[grand tinsel]

Hey, I like that method better

I'll practice that also

Got the universal figured out too

[gleaming minnow]

I did it! Used the Uni-glitch. Not that bad actually, just have to get used to the new ways

[grand tinsel]

Woot

[glacial furnace]

Do you guys have this weird sound effect that sounds like breaking speakers?

It's like a roar, but it's so loud that it just clips. Sounds awful

[weary sand]

hey how can I share pictures here?

I have come across something odd and I cant post it here

[feral pewter]

Need to be level 5 (Familiar) to post pictures & embeds (see #roles-information), you can gain it by just chatting and interacting in the server. Run .xp in #bot-spam to check your level.

You can post it in #nms-photomode-gallery and link it here, if it's convenient.

[weary sand]

oh thanks

[quick herald]

Glitch to the Core Fast (for new saves)
On any previous save *, use a portal to get to the gateway system for the center of the galaxy (check pins in #nms-questions for the coordinates).
Build a base computer on a random planet there, go to the Anomaly, and teleport back to that base.
Quit to Menu Select.
Create your new save (presumably permadeath).
Once the new playthrough starts, immediately open the Quick Menu and there should be an option to "Return to Space Anomaly".
Activate that and you'll be transported to the Anomaly.
(If this works correctly**) Your ship will now be in the Anomaly totally repaired.
Leaving the Anomaly will place you in the system where you built the base in the other save (in this case, the gateway system for the center).
Finish the first mission as needed to acquire the hyperdrive and warp to the center. NOTE: you will need a 100% full hyperdrive to do this.

*A new Creative save will work as well.
**I recommend gathering enough materials to repair the ship just in case it's still damaged when you arrive in the Anomaly.

[white relic]

(If this works correctly) Your ship will now be in the Anomaly totally repaired.
IIRC, the ship has a repaired Launcher and a broken Pulse Drive.

[quick herald]

yeah, i think that might be the case as well

ive done this once i just cant remember what was broken

[white relic]

But you can still repair it and/or just teleport out

[quick herald]

right, but you want to leave throught the Anomaly's exit

[white relic]

Why?

Oh, right, duh

[quick herald]

That's what transports you to the specific system you originally teleported to

@white relic I'm interested to see how fast you or @tepid meadow can reach the center with this trick.
I might give it a go tomorrow since I have a couple other tricks to speed up a run like that.

[white relic]

Hmm, interesting question. I guess it would depend on how quickly it takes to acquire enough nanites to fast track to the Indium drive via the Starship Research, and to find enough Emeril for the Indium drive. For the latter, maybe find a Green gateway system in the first save, if possible.

[tepid meadow]

why indium drive?

[white relic]

Just in case, I guess

[tepid meadow]

(hint: no colored drive required for core jumping in euclid)

[white relic]

Oh right (it's been a while). I guess galaxy #....7 is what I was remembering

[tepid meadow]

i was thinking green or blue gateway system too, but ... not sure there is a point? well, you need a full warp tank, but the chromatic isnt really the main holdup.

[quick herald]

Other question: nanite cost for the hermetic seal

From the Synthesis lab station thing

[white relic]

You'd probably also want to grab the hyperdrive bp before exiting the Anomaly

[tepid meadow]

the ... what?

[quick herald]

Fair point, good question for both really

[white relic]

(1 nanite)

[devout warren]

nice

[quick herald]

The anomaly tech unlock statiom

Gtfo, it is not 1 nanite?

Is it seriously??

[white relic]

Hehe it is

[quick herald]

Lololol

[white relic]

Was for me, anyway

[quick herald]

Gg ez

I think hyperdrive is 200 nanites iirc

[white relic]

Hmm

[quick herald]

Im assuming we arent allowed the vector or any other claimable ship

[tepid meadow]

ok, that would make it really fast. 😄

[white relic]

I wonder if the Vector (or any other ship) would even have a hyperdrive, at that stage

[quick herald]

Yeah, hyperdrive is prefilled on those iirc

[gleaming minnow]

Hyperdrive is 1, Hermetic Seal is 250 nanites

[quick herald]

Haha, nice

[tepid meadow]

so i am probably faster getting the seal the normal way...

[white relic]

I've never claimed the Vector while in Awakenings (or at all, actually)

[quick herald]

Depends, ivr found S class modules right at the first damaged machinery plenty of times

And i think you can sell it to Ares

Maybe need one interaction first. Cant remember for sure

Alternatively, bring random consumable plants with you and feed cronus

[tepid meadow]

hm. can the terrain manipulator be unlocked on the anomaly?

[white relic]

Probably?

[quick herald]

I dont think it can actially

Its not on the tech tree from what i can tell

[gleaming minnow]

No, it's not available

[tepid meadow]

does unlocking the hermetic seal there actualy help with advancing awakenings?

i will toy around with this super-speedrun a bit this weekend for sure. 😄

sounds more interesting than exp1r

[white relic]

Even if you don't do that, any Holo-Archive will unlock the seal

Even if Awakenings hasn't targeted the one you go to

[tepid meadow]

wait. can you unlock warp cells on the anomaly?

[white relic]

I don't think so

[gleaming minnow]

@quick herald Not sure you noticed, but the Pipe is now context aware as well. This means you only get the one straight Pipe. It will create previously impossible splits like a T around a corner. It also has a bad habit of now being forced to connect to adjacent parts.

[white relic]

Heh, I was wrong again, you can unlock warp fuel at the Anomaly

[tepid meadow]

cost?

[white relic]

<#nms-questions message>

He didn't include prices in that version, sorry.

[gleaming minnow]

Warp Hypercore too

[tepid meadow]

yeah, but hypercore might be slightly overdoing it when just trying for "fast track to the core". 😄

cool, thanks.

[white relic]

Seems like the Antimatter mission step wouldn't be skippable

[tepid meadow]

wait. you still need antimatter + housing, yeah.

is that on the other page?

[devout warren]

nope

[tepid meadow]

dang.

[devout warren]

im in the anomaly rn

im just going to double check

[white relic]

Oversight I bet.

[tepid meadow]

so hypercores might be an option after all, steep pricetag on nanites to get there though.

[devout warren]

yep, nope

[tepid meadow]

does harvesting storm crystals require gauntlet?

[devout warren]

also i have like literally nothing unlocked here lol

[devout warren]

ooh good question

ah

[white relic]

It should, imo, but doesn't

[devout warren]

750 nanites to get there though

[tepid meadow]

so now we need a gateway system with extreme planet... 😄

[devout warren]

im thinking S class mod and assorted food?

for nanites

[devout warren]

yep, this can happen in any galaxy right?

[white relic]

2-3 crashed ship beacons should drop a gauntlet bp

But that's not required, so n/m. I got distracted.

[tepid meadow]

sure, but i would recommend to check the galaxy doesnt require a colored drive, unless you want to drive up complexity a lot more.

[devout warren]

true hm

well i can check some of euclid

if i ever get to the core lol

i've never galaxy hopped

[tepid meadow]

this idea is delightfully silly. 😄

[quick herald]

Not how i expected id spend my weekend tbh lol

[devout warren]

lol

[tepid meadow]

i would actualy go for salvage data for nanites on a low scale ...

[white relic]

Could pick a gateway system that has 1-2 Exotic planets

[tepid meadow]

nice idea too, that.

[quick herald]

Yeah, i figured that was likely to happen but in my case, the amount of times i was glitching them together was wayyy higher then the amount of times i placed them intentionally disconnected

[tepid meadow]

need to take a walk for chromatic metal anyways though, 500+ for hyperdrive afair.

[quick herald]

Yeah, im not concerned with the chromatic

[white relic]

250, i think, but yeah

[quick herald]

I got that figured out already but want to see what others come up with haha

[devout warren]

i think the fully ideal system for this is a gateway system thats blue and has an extreme planet for storm crystals and 2 exotic planets for nanites

extreme planet can also give lots of cromatic metal

[quick herald]

Why exotic for nanites?

[devout warren]

if thats the chosen way for nanites

[tepid meadow]

zoologist

[white relic]

System habitation should be optional, I think

[quick herald]

Oh right

[devout warren]

if some other way of getting nanites then doesn't matter

[quick herald]

I had my plan for nanites already. Im trying to do this all blind of what the gateway system actually has

[devout warren]

oh, and it has to be in a galaxy that requires no special drive to warp to center

[devout warren]

ah ok

[tepid meadow]

i mean, something nice like a radio planet with 6 everywhere fauna would work just fine too.

[devout warren]

maybe even better because you'll get more nanites

[tepid meadow]

wait. you need the nanites before hitting "back to the anomaly" though?

[quick herald]

Uh correct

Recall. You cant return to the Anomaly once youve left

Without repeating the glitch at least

[white relic]

Yeah, the Anomaly glitch is a one-use thing

[tepid meadow]

so any nanites gathering has to be done in normal starter system... hmmm ...

[white relic]

To be clear, the Anomaly is no longer in that system, after you exit it

I'm not really sure how that's supposed to work, but whatever

[quick herald]

Lol

[tepid meadow]

hyperdrive is 125 chromatic and 5 microprocessors (the wiki says 500 CM, 3 antimatter 3 housings ... uh?)

[devout warren]

uhh

well the wiki is wrong

[quick herald]

It did change recently tbf

It used to be 250 before tho lol

[devout warren]

ah

well it certainly wasn't 500

[gleaming minnow]

So that is not a custom expeditions recipe?

[quick herald]

Oh good point, not sure

[devout warren]

oh

man now i want to uninstall my hyperdrive to check

not sure why you cant uninstall it if you can install it

[tepid meadow]

@gleaming minnow not sure. dont think so. i am very sure the "5 microprocessor" is what it takes on storyline saves too, because that is a mission plot thing where it tells you to gather 100k units.

[quick herald]

Ah well, you cant

[white relic]

Doesn't the Catalogue list the ingredients?

[devout warren]

its for sure 5 micoproessor

oh

[gleaming minnow]

I only noticed with expeditions, as it has been ages I got one otherwise

[devout warren]

normal save:

125

[white relic]

As an Awakenings Addict, I really should have known the required mats by heart

[devout warren]

oof

[tepid meadow]

not sure how useful it would be to short-circuit the hyperdrive+fuel part via anomaly tbh, might be better to just do that in starter system the "normal" way.

[devout warren]

true

is it possible to get storm crystals in your starting system?

[white relic]

Sure

[devout warren]

or you mean completely normal cells

[tepid meadow]

otoh, could do hypercores with crystals collected in chosen gateway system, dont need those before the anomaly.

[devout warren]

yeah

get the antimatter and head to the system, buy hypercore, get crystal make hypercore

[surreal ledge]

I haven’t “fixed my hyperdrive” in forever ahaha I just bought a new ship off an npc

[devout warren]

lol

[tepid meadow]

dang. still need antimatter ... so getting lucky with loot crates for that?

[devout warren]

antimatter is only from barrels

[gleaming minnow]

hmmm, yup, NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE says:

[devout warren]

barrels = atlaspass

[white relic]

If in Awakenings and pre-hyperdrive, it still needs to be installed on any ship you acquire

[tepid meadow]

nah

[white relic]

Except maybe the Vector

[quick herald]

Any ship you find will not have a hyperdrive installed otherwise

vector might be an exception but im not using the vector. I assumed that and twitch ships were off limits

[surreal ledge]

No like flew to the space station and bought a ship

[white relic]

Right

Still would need to install the hyperdrive

[quick herald]

They won't have a HD installed

It's one of the quirks of the first mission

[white relic]

All the system NPC be like, when's this Traveler gonna install a warp drive so I can leave the system

[devout warren]

hm that means you could have a ship with no hyperdrive, even after completing the story

[devout warren]

lol true

all hyperdrives are BANNED until this random traveler makes one themselves then they are ok

[white relic]

Haha

[devout warren]

does that mean we invent the hyperdrive??

[tepid meadow]

something something telamon

[surreal ledge]

Maybe I’m not remembering properly lol oh well 😂

[tepid meadow]

hm. if we have to stay on the storyline until antimatter anyways, there doesnt seem any benefit in unlocking stuff on the anomaly at all.

[devout warren]

yeah

[white relic]

Damnit hg

Weird that someone invested time/energy into putting the hyperdrive and warp fuel into the tech trees but not Antimatter and Housing

[devout warren]

yeah

[tepid meadow]

ugh. collecting the materials list for this "dry" is bloody annoying since you have to consider all the intermediate awakening steps like "hey, lets build a base" ...

[devout warren]

oh forgot about that

[tepid meadow]

i think i will just do a "mostly blind" run tomorrow and see how that goes, then optimize from that.

[devout warren]

ok 👍

im interested to see how it will go

[white relic]

Minimalist Awakenings Base
Structure: 130 Carbon, 10 Ferrite Dust, and 10 Pure Ferrite (1 floor, 3 walls, doorway, roof)
Teleporter: 100 Carbon (2 Nanotubes), 200 Ferrite Dust (4 plates), 40 Sodium
Biofuel reactor: 25 Oxygen, 50 Ferrite Dust (1 plate)
Construction Research Unit: 50 Carbon (1 Nanotube), 20 Mag Ferrite

[tepid meadow]

(dont think you need that many walls or a doorway, but thanks!)

meh, and only the structure has recycling value (== materials needed later), and 100 carbon is not really worth it.

other stuff on my list currently:
refiner: 50 ferrite 30 oxygen
fix ship: 50 pure 40 dihydrogen 50 ferrite
basecomputer: 30 chromatic
terrain manipulator: 40 dihydrogen 100 carbon
hyperdrive: 125 chromatic 5 microprocessor
5x warpcell: 125 chromatic 100 condensed 150 oxygen 250 ferrite

maybe a launch fuel

[quick herald]

I have a game plan for my run but wont be able to start for another 5 hours probably

[white relic]

Heh, spent some time with this one, and it appears to include any base object. Open Build Menu, click Edit Mode, hit "Move", and any (I think) object picked up returns mats immediately, and is still placeable as the intact object (doesn't consume the mats after placement).

Leaves me with the impression that someone may have copy/pasted Delete code while creating/tweaking the Move function.

[quick herald]

1:06 with a lot of bad luck imo.
I learned that some things did not work at all like I expected they would.
The Hermetic Seal issue basically requires the 250 nanites imo. You can certainly use Awakenings to unlock it faster but I think that caused the game to lock down the galaxy map with nearby stars being "blocked by anomalous signal". I spent 20 minutes solely trying to figure out how to get that to advance, even warping back and forth to the mission's desired system.

Lessons learned:

• When arriving in the Anomaly, you will still need to fix the pulse engine
• You cannot sell any modules to Ares (until normally unlocking the SA)
• The hyperdrive blueprint is 1 nanite, but that doesnt matter because you need to unlock the HD blueprint from the mission in order to unlock the AM Housing (i got antimatter from dismantling launch system recharger on crashed ships). You can try to buy the AM Housing from a Minor Settlemtn if you can find one that sells it.
• The glyphs given in #nms-questions pin are actually 1 system away from the center, so you have to warp to the gateway system first, then go to the center (which means you need 6 warp cells, not 5)

Add'l thoughts:

• I suspect if you can manage to gather 250 nanites for the Herm seal and unlock it at the Anomaly, you can delay Awakenings from progressing and that may prevent the 'anomalous signal' warp block issue I experienced. This means you also must unlock the warp cell from the anomaly and purchase the AM housings from minor settlement tech vendors.

[tacit sand]

You can destroy freighters with no repercussion, only police

[sharp ocean]

Includes your own

Keep summoning it in different locations

[lapis dust]

Anyone else having a terrible buzz sound bug with the race track initiator?

It’s very very bad

[main verge]

Does the refinor duplication glitch still works after last update? May be it's me but can't make it work!

[main verge]

(got it, doesn't work aboard freighters 😑)

[desert bramble]

Unless on expedition 2 or 3 where anomaly is pre unlocked you need to warp to get thwre

[desert bramble]

That and the fact hg just decided to write code just so you can completely ruin npcs

I'm still mad i wanted some tech when i first started permadeath and then forgot about that

Then i proceeded to forget that that prompt appears 3 times and proceeded to trash every tech merchant except the mt one

Ooooo road doing the back to anomaly glitch?

Actually i discovered smth interesting about that too

The systems you see after exiting the anomaly aren't exactly real

They're systems from the discovery list in the previous save

But with some changed info

(probably from the systems where you are supposed to be)

What about scrapping twitch drop ships

Also if you need to fix the pulse drive then does that mean you can softlock yourself by scrapping the radiant pillar

[quick herald]

Certainly seemed real. There were uploaded bases in the system that I exited in. I also used a Creative save to start the glitch, so the bases and discoveries were different when I made the new Normal save. I've done this trick before to start a new PD save in Isdoraijung at a planet I found in Survival that I liked.
As for Twitch Drops/GV, per the previous discussion I decided to not use them because I wanted to see if any player is capable of doing this.
You could potentially softlock the RP if you claimed a different ship and scrapped it without ever repairing the RP. However, you'd have to try, since scrapping the other ship means you have money now so you could technically buy the repair materials at the station (well, except the Hermetic Seal). I did nearly softlock myself on the Anomaly with the speed run attempt but then realized I could technically teleport out to a featured base (I wound up deleting the save and starting over).

[opaque plover]

is the scale glitch bannable?

if not, how do i do it?

[quick herald]

It's not bannable.
Check the pins for a link to the glitch tutorial

[opaque plover]

ah, thank you!

[quick herald]

Almost nothing is bannable in NMS btw, save for breaking ToS for your platform

[opaque plover]

sweet

[limber cosmos]

I don’t think even save edits are bannable

Glitch building is almost encouraged by HG

given how often they tweet out glitched builds

[white relic]

This one is kind of subtle, and I'm not sure yet what it could be used for. I also think it's fairly new.
While flying inside an atmosphere, use the ship scanner until it finds a point of interest. Tag the POI and keep flying. Sometimes, but apparently not always, other nearby points of interest will automatically show up on the HUD, already tagged. Even so-called "Alien" type sites, which normally don't seem to be detectable via ship scanner.

[limber cosmos]

Meaninggggg?

Portal finder method?

[white relic]

Dunno!

One downside is I haven't figured out how to make it work on purpose.

[limber cosmos]

Heh, that’s the best part

[winter obsidian]

there are still a lot of alien type sites on a planet so i think it wouldnt be very effective for finding the portal, but for monoliths and artifact sites that sounds really good

[severe ibex]

Seeing as how there's only one portal per body

[wanton ore]

pst. hey you. I know I infinite resources bug. Clip the build camera out of bounds and fully deleted the freighter base. Then reset the base. Everything is back to before you deleted but you keep your stuff. Repeat and you got infinite resources

[winter obsidian]

Wouldn't you be able to do that without clipping the camera?

[wanton ore]

Yes I just found it easier to do that way

[rigid storm]

Feel free to spoil parts of expeditions; anyone coming here is looking for help in completing the milestones anyway. This might help with the shorter time to complete, esp fpr Pioneers and Cartographers.

➡️

[vocal echo]

Any advice for the explorers guild missions? I’ve been warping for three hours and I’m only at 10/15. Getting very frustrated with this final expedition mission

[quick herald]

The ones that say "Destroy x sentinels" or "Kill x fauna" can be stacked, then you only have to do the mission once and turn it in for all of them.

[vocal echo]

I can’t find any level 1 missions though. I know they can be stacked but I just literally can’t find any that aren’t locked behind the lvl 6 requirement. Do you know if certain systems have a higher chance to spawn the missions because currently I’ve literally been warping for 3 (almost 4) hours and have found 2 lvl one missions in that time period. It’s been three hours since I finished my 2nd final expedition mission with o my this one remaining lol

[quick herald]

Try disabling multiplayer, saving, quit to menu select, and reload.
Not sure if that will help but never know 🤷‍♂️

[prime grotto]

I'm told that if you raise the racial factions enough you will always get at least one explorer's guild mission you can take in every system. So either also pick up racial missions or go find a trading post and buy some standing via gift items from the pilots there.

I just finished up myself, and the explorer thing was definitely the last one down.

[vocal echo]

Omg thank you! It worked. Went down to a trade post and leveled up korvax to 30 standing and now they have faction missions in the stations

[prime grotto]

(There are 10 giftable items you get for one of the other objectives, which is 5 free standing for two of the three races if you give them away instead of selling them)

[vocal echo]

This just saved me so much time. Thank you so much 😭

[prime grotto]

Just passing along wisdom from #nms-questions and #no-mans-sky :)

it doesn't take much (I think <10 standing) to do it, so you can pretty easily do all 3 races and be able to warp around recent stations picking up just the stackable missions until you can get all your points in one go

[vocal echo]

Thanks! Gonna finish up this last quest and finally enjoy the vector on my main survival world. So done with this expedition. It was a ton of fun but not so much these last few hours lol. Thanks again!

[modest hemlock]

scan unique flora missions can also be stacked, even though game says you're required to do them on a specific planet. complete one of them on the specific planet, and game will complete all of them as is the case with the ones you've mentioned. i believe scan unique minerals should also stackable, and i'll try to test it with photo missions as well.

[glacial furnace]

So I got Hexxit (or whatchamacallit). Can I do something with that in the expedition or is it Nanites with Faecium?

Hexite

[winter obsidian]

you need hexite for when you're trying to hatch a void egg, but you don't need the hexite for the expedition. i just sold mine, and completed the expedition with no problem

well there were problems, but those weren't related to hexite. i just couldn't find any planet with storm crystals

[glacial furnace]

I got lucky with storm crystals, I think.

[prime grotto]

I just got reminded that storm crystal icons only appear on the visor during storms

I think I rejected a few planets without searching enough because I did a visor sweep and didn't see anything pop up

And then I happened to land right next to one and noticed it didn't highlight until the weather changed

[modest hemlock]

correct, only way to be sure is to land, and wait for an extreme storm to spawn and use visor/or visually confirm they spawned

[modest hemlock]

btw, about this. since vykeen effigies aren't given to the player when completing the Linguaphile milestone, we would need to either find them or buy them from vykeen trade outpost pilots. there's however another way. complete the DF run, and then turn in captains log/crew manifest to a guild representative in a vykeen system, and get x5 vykeen standing.

which should be enough to get vykeen standing high enough.

[prime grotto]

I'd rather buy standing with units and take the nanites (via tainted metal) for the DF. Even with the expedition handing out a ton, there's lots to unlock without access to the overseer/base computer questlines.

Nanites from DF meant I was easily able to unlock all the basics I wanted and still have enough left over to grab some high end hazard protection techs for convenience.

[modest hemlock]

scrap a ship

either your starter, or a crashed ship, or even honmatan; or even sell upgrade mods you don't absolutely need

i ended my last run with over 8k nanites, had a ship with 6 s-class hyperdrive mods

there's not a whole lot to unlock in terms of tech tbh, that's actually necessary.

indium drive, eco scanner, hazmat gauntlet, even scatter blaster get easily unlocked, after my first warp out of the starter system

i don't need any more tech than that

[prime grotto]

I wanted stuff like exocraft mining/scanning, the crafting recipes for all the components, not strictly needed but nice to have

but yeah, if I'd scrapped the ships I wasn't using that would have worked fine too

I still ended with like 3k nanites banked, so it's not like I was really hurting or anything

but units are still the way more abundant currency

[modest hemlock]

i had around 20M after my first warp.

i could buy a freighter +2 frigates even before the freighter rescue battle

[prime grotto]

yeah, so 500k to boost standing real quick is not really going to sting

[modest hemlock]

takes time to go to a trading outpost

a detour i don't actually need to do

[prime grotto]

shrug once I get the eco scanner I tend to use them as initial landing spots when surveying planets I'm stopping at for other reasons

[modest hemlock]

i only land where there's a waypoint for me to get

😄

[wanton ore]

How do I effectively farm the waypoints

[feral pewter]

Get in your ship, switch to third person, boost around and ping scan constantly, land near house icons - they're waypoints 90% of the time.

[wanton ore]

Thank

[modest hemlock]

@wanton ore when the ship scanner doesn't find any, the portable signal booster or secure planetary charts can also help

i say secure planetary charts specifically because those sites always have sentinels around

get the waypoint+1 nav data, destroy sentinels, move on to the next

[wanton ore]

Thank

[prime grotto]

if you like you can buy a signal booster blueprint for your pilgrim that you unlock for one of the objectives and tool around using that to collect waypoints.

most of the stuff the exocraft signal booster can detect comes with waypoints

[patent wave]

Hi folks, I wrapped up the expedition, and I want to pass along my collected mats to someone who's starting out/converting the save to normal play after. I am not continuing the save. Anyone interested? Please PM.

[dusty vale]

lads, how do we cheese the 20 seconds airborne?

[winter obsidian]

fly near a wall or a near-vertical slope

you don’t expend jetpack fuel that way

[dusty vale]

done, ty for the info

[dusty vale]

for the "acquire an A class multi tool", would upgrading my existing B suffice?

[modest hemlock]

should

simply kill 25 sentinels, get a s-class tool as a reward, claim it, doing so automatically completes Light show

[dusty vale]

yeah i've done that when i realized that there was a multi tool up for grabs

[main verge]

Guys I need help for explorator guild missions

Explorer guild guy aboard stations don't offer me missions, just gifts

I'm nearly done with exp 1 except for this!

[main verge]

Local missions are never about explorator guild, i don't understand what to do!! 😤

[rigid storm]

The local missions labelled with the compass are explorer guild missions

[main verge]

The only explorer guild missions i find are locked

All the others are always race related

Reaaaally need help i don't get it AT ALL

[rigid storm]

Ive never seen the "no missions are available to get explorer standing" so I can't help sorry

[main verge]

It can't be that difficult, there's something I don't understand. I've been looking for 1 since three hours.

[modest hemlock]

@main verge take a bunch of missions for the system race (stacking multiples with the same objective, contracted at multiple systems), go to a planet and complete them.

like.. "kill <x> creatures" (when you complete the mission that has the highest number, it will complete all the other ones at the same time)

that will stop the mission agent of that race from offering like 4 race missions, and start offering you more of the guild missions

alternatively, offer gifts (korvax casing/vykeen effigy/gek relic) to npcs walking around.

[smoky oar]

How far do I need to go to the third rendevouz point?

I´ve been jumping for days

Thanks 🙂

Thanks I found it 😄

[main verge]

Thx everybody, I finally got it! Not so hard, just faaar too long to complete!

[winter obsidian]

When the expedition with the mass effect ship comes around can you only get the ship on expedition or can you move it to a main save?

[feral pewter]

Expedition rewards are unlockable in every save.

[winter obsidian]

But the mass effect ship isn't an expedition reward I don't think

Its not in the quicksilver dude

[feral pewter]

I imagine it becomes a frigate automatically - I'm not sure.

[winter obsidian]

Its in expo 2 right?

[feral pewter]

Yes, starts December 8th.

[modest hemlock]

it is a claimable reward on all saves, if you complete exp2

[mellow star]

Can anyone give me some tips to finish expedition 1 fast

[winter obsidian]

Ah okay, I was confused because I never saw it in the expedition rewards section of the nexus

[modest hemlock]

i can confirm it's there

[winter obsidian]

Is it?

I must be blind

[modest hemlock]

read all milestones objectives and rewards first. you don't have to do them in that order. ask if you got questions on any of them.

[winter obsidian]

A useful tip is to get your standing with all the races up as much as you can

This will help for the explorers guild quest

[mellow star]

Okay thanks

[full owl]

Is the second expedition going up after this 1 is over? I see other rewards from different expeditions in the market

[severe ibex]

Check #nms-announcements

[feral pewter]

December 8th

[full owl]

Thank you, I was only wondering if this was the case

[lost pollen]

how can i get lots of explore guild points quickly because I have been to over 10 systems and not a single one has had explorer guild quests

[modest hemlock]

(answered in #no-mans-sky)

[feral pewter]

For those needing help locating Abandoned systems, acquire and install the Economy Scanner.
Then look for stars displaying this information: race, 1 tier economy with data unavailable.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/212051634790858754/916099644591845416/unknown.png

Abandoned stations look like this.

It will look like this after you've discovered it.

[gleaming minnow]

@feral pewter Just made this, to then see the above.
Oh well, I am sure someone will find it useful, an Abandoned System near RV4

[feral pewter]

Oh sorry 🫂

[gleaming minnow]

No, don't be!

[modest hemlock]

yeah

you made it hehe

[quick herald]

Yep way back in exp 1

[past notch]

For anyone having trouble finding undiscovered systems, remember that people don't tend to travel that far vertically in a galaxy.

[surreal ledge]

Well now everyone will 😂

[patent wave]

I hit a black hole or two, and the areas are less far explored then, too.

[lusty ibex]

Is there any way to get explorer guild standing quicker or just keep warping until i find a lvl 2 explorer guild mission ? Its one of the last parts i need for expedition

[severe ibex]

Go to all your stations and accept the kill missions, as many as you can, and go to a single planet and conplete all of them at once. You can hand them in anywhere

[lusty ibex]

Doing those gives explorer guild standing ? I thought that only went towards the races standing ?

[severe ibex]

The missions will be for the explorer's guild

The type of rep is determined by the symbol next to it

[lusty ibex]

So even if it only says +1 korvax standing and like 3 venom sac if the symbol is tge explorers guild its fine ?

[severe ibex]

Race standing and guild standing are separate, yeah

@lusty ibex

[past notch]

I was given that advice by someone else here. Discovered systems become a lot less common if you travel vertically for a bit.

If you're not having much luck in a given area then use a black hole or two.

[dusty vale]

the hint/cheat doesnt work, just tried it

[modest hemlock]

unplugging/disconnecting network connection will make it impossible for the game to connect to the online discovery services server - therefore, all systems will be undiscovered.

[dusty vale]

interesting

i was just releasing/renewing my ip via cmd, it worked when i unplugged the ethernet

[pure perch]

Any tips for farming Exploration guild rank?

[true ether]

I just discovered this & was pondering the use of it. 3yrs ago I had lots of connection problems, now that I'm back & properly connected I redeemed 800+ nanites worth of discoveries O.O

[modest hemlock]

uploading discoveries while online discovery services connection is down still rewards nanites for doing so - it happens locally. that "upload" to the server will be done automatically when ODS connection comes back online, and if those systems/planets/..etc haven't been discovered by someone else while ODS connection was down for a specific game client.

[severe ibex]

@pure perch

[pure perch]

Thanks, I think I did exactly that. 😄

[zenith dune]

is it possible to finish the current expedition in one day?

oh it ends on 7 th np

[hot oyster]

Might take a try or two, depends on the frigate missions

[wanton ore]

What planetary chart is the waypoints?

[silk slate]

Any advice for getting a lot of money to get an a class starship?

[devout warren]

just fly in the atmosphere of a planet and press C to scan and it will pop up unknown buildings which should have waypoints most of the time

if not on pc or if you changed controls its whatever your scan button is

[wanton ore]

Oh that’s long gone

[past notch]

Well. I'm not proud of it, but I cheated some lengthy things to be able to finish the first expedition on time. Anyone else do similar?

I gave it an honest effort where possible, though.

[crystal olive]

well, I made full use of people's farms and am sorry for it

[violet violet]

How do you cheat an Expedition?

[past notch]

I used the save editor to set my explorers reputation to 15, gave myself enough credits and nanites to upgrade my ship and multitool to A class, and gave myself the items required to plant 20 plants.

Would have done all that legit, but I started the expedition late and work is getting in the way. Everything else I pretty much did legit, though.

[violet violet]

Ah I did it the hard way I guess but it’s not really that difficult and I used peoples farms for the plants. I don’t blame you though I just stayed up late instead to get it done and used NMS coordinate exchange to find crashed ship and an A tool

[silk slate]

god I need 250 emeril and I don't have access to it fuuuuck

I mean I could build up but

Time limits

[normal kite]

why does the map show only 2-3 system jumps for rendezvous ? any way to increase it ?

[winter obsidian]

I think you should be able to see more lines with higher hyperdrive range but that doesn't really matter

To reach the RV system you don't need to jump to all the systems between

The game just tells you the general direction and possible route to get there

Move the galaxy map in the direction the path is showing till you see the RV system

And check if you can warp there direclty (if you have long enough range)

[crystal olive]

done!

omg that was quite the adventure

stacking explorer missions was key

also lucking into a planet with firestorms, which got me the "fly for 20 seconds" one

[honest kite]

About Farmer, can I use other peoples farms?

[modest hemlock]

yes

[winter obsidian]

what will happen to system i discovered while i disabled my wifi

[gleaming minnow]

The game will put discoveries in a queue when not able to connect to the servers. Once connection is established again, it will update those.

[modest hemlock]

to clarify, if it can; a system discovery can't be uploaded twice

[still finch]

Is the agriculture computer unlocked differently in the Pioneer expedition? I can’t finish phase 2, and I don’t have the base computer research timer

[modest hemlock]

@still finch unlock plant blueprint at space anomaly

completing homecoming should reward you x12 salvaged data

if you farm an additional x4 salvaged data from buried tech modules, you will be able to unlock frostwort (1h growth time), and the medium refiner from the technology tree

i recommend also unlocking hazmat-gauntlets (80 nanites) from the exosuit research npc at space anomaly, and returning to the starter system (there's 2 frozen biome planets there, which will have frostwort you can harvest)

you need to build 20 plants; frostwort is native to frozen biomes, so it can even be planted on the ground

each plant requires 50 frost crystal + 25 dioxite, so 20 plants, 1000 frost crystal + 500 dioxite

i recommend buying a good amount of dioxite from a trade terminal/npc pilot

so you can gather like 500 frost crystal from wild frostwort, and then refine frost crystal + dioxite for more frost crystals

[still finch]

Thanks! For some reason I thought I needed the ag terminal, but if I can just plant stuff in the right biome then that’s way easier.

[gritty spire]

how do i access the Homatan qq5 when i unlock it ?

can i use it in the expedition ?

[winter obsidian]

You should get a prompt asking to add this ship into your collection

Then you can summon it from the quick menu

Yes, you can use it in the expedition

Since it's not a phase reward, it can't be redemeed on other saves

[acoustic sapphire]

How do I complete explorers' reputation in 3 days? The grind is killing me xD

[modest hemlock]

go to every star system on your teleporter list, warp to new ones if needed. stack missions from mission board agents with the same objectives (completing the mission with the highest number of targets will complete all other ones too), then land on a planet and go to town

[acoustic sapphire]

oh my

That, is what I could try to do - have just 6 left to do

[modest hemlock]

(highly recommend some hyperdrive upgrade mods installed on your ship for some more warp efficiency)

[acoustic sapphire]

But every single one feels like a chore - exact reason I'm not doing QS missions

[modest hemlock]

kill x sentinels, kill x creatures

are easy to do and quick to complete

kill x sentinels is a very nice one because it works towards Boundary failure milestone from phase 5

[past notch]

I felt like I wouldn't make it, so I used a save editor to set my explorers reputation to 15 and completed a mission to get to 16.

Stacking kill x missions would be a good idea.

in the quest log, I see all 5 phases of the expedition completed, but the last one, saying that my save will be converted to a normal one, is not checked. is that OK? is there anything more I have to do to complete the expedition?

this is what I got

[acoustic sapphire]

Try to, maybe, read the objective details? Can't vouch for it, but I heard it helps. It's literally the same thing as Artemis Path, where the quest is not removed on completion and instead is updated with "you are free to explore" objective.

[tepid meadow]

@twilit sonnet complete 2-3 biome milestones in starter system (it has at least lush, scorched, volcanic) ... sell items ... several mil units.

[spare jewel]

to get units, complete any of the "visit/discover a creature" on one of the specified biomes, I think that's phase 3. any one of those will give you enough units to stock up on the basics, and that's all you need

just look around in the first system for any of those biomes without aggro sentinels. bear in mind that swamp = marsh = a bunch of other names, same for the rest.

[spare jewel]

where did you get a base computer from the build menu? I didn't see one, which put me off building anything. not sure what I would have built, given how straightforward it all was, but still

[tepid meadow]

(should that have coordinates for ancient data structures?)

[spare jewel]

note you don't have to stock up on a pile of warp cells before the first warp. you'll get warp hypercores as a reward for that, enough to keep you doing well, plus a couple warp cells from visiting the Atlas if you run a little low.

[tepid meadow]

plus you start with more than enough warp cells for that first freighter warp.

[white relic]

Well, I suppose yes, that might be ideal, but resource clusters like those are found all over the planet

[magic glacier]

I just realized you can go to the anomaly and claim the S class ship from the last expedition

[white relic]

Just drive around and you'll find them everywhere

Oh, metal fingers too (editing to add)

[tepid meadow]

and, just my alternate approach there without any coordinates: complete "aviator" (100ku pulse), gives 10 nav data, buy 6x alien and 4x emergency charts, pop all emergency and three alien, visit sites, pop the remaining alien charts, visit again (to take more readings for nada as a source of QS).

[spare jewel]

the barren planet in R5 might seem nice as a place to look for monoliths and such but it has a predator that's quite annoying. I did 6 readings there anyways but somewhere else might be a bit more chill

I deliberately stopped at every space station en route in order to grab nav data, had waaaay more than needed by the end.

including for stranded life forms and all that.

[tepid meadow]

yeah, i collected nav data too before realizing the 10 from aviator are enough.

[spare jewel]

I wasn't sure if we might have the "community research" kind of thing on the readings, so I wanted plenty. but we're lucky this time around

[tepid meadow]

need to briefly switch on ODS to get the myth beacon though. which gave me a minute of frowning because it didnt work on the first try. the symptom seems to be "no community unlock bar at top of qs store".

[spare jewel]

huh

I didn't, I remained in single player mode through the entire thing, for stability

(and had 0 crashes, I might add)

[tepid meadow]

ODS is separate from single/multiplayer, and can not be disabled ingame.

if you see other peoples bases/beacons/settlements and similar spam, you have a working ODS connection.

[spare jewel]

I did have one. but I don't know how you disabled it

[tepid meadow]

the ODS API is on 20.49.104.38 currently, so blocking that ... blocks ODS.

[spare jewel]

oh!!

well as a console player... heh

I get what I get

[tepid meadow]

i am on console too.

[spare jewel]

wait wut

[shadow mulch]

What's ODS?

[tepid meadow]

i just block the IP on the router. actualy have a small remote control next to the VR throne so i can switch ODS on/off with it. 😄

[tepid meadow]

online discovery service

[shadow mulch]

ah right

[spare jewel]

oh, I got none of that fancy stuff... but fortunately didn't need it, whew!

even with a weird spawn in (underwater, 10 minute swim away from any land mass larger than 5u diameter) it went... swimmingly well 😄

[tepid meadow]

yeah, i spawned under water too

which was still slightly less annoying than the exp1r habit of spawning me on near-vertical mountainsides...

[spare jewel]

well in exp 3 I wound up on an island with nothing but other islands around, each one several minutes' swim away... and no buildings to be found on them, only beacons! that was the worst. I should have just tossed the save and started over. oh well

[tepid meadow]

my worst exp3 start was more the opposite of that: no deep water nearby at all

[spare jewel]

oops 😄

[full owl]

Do you get glyphs by black hole again?

[tepid meadow]

dont think there is a way to get a full set of glyphs in exp2.

the starting system station has two travellers though

[full owl]

Well if they’re not needed it’s all good then!

[feral pewter]

There's a command for glyphs

[severe ibex]

This is from yesterday, but reminds me of the literal lightswitch "lag switches" people made in the xbox days. Good time

[past notch]

Any reason to do an expedition if I already have all the rewards from it?

[tepid meadow]

not really. well, for fun!

30min playtime for the first just-the-normandy speedrun on exp2r just now.

(which means i am rusty, or the redux version is in some way slower than the original)

[tepid meadow]

pulse doesnt seem to count for "aviator" anymore

[spark iris]

If you just speedrun for the normandy does it lock you out of the other phases?

[tepid meadow]

you can complete milestones/phases in whatever order you want

[spark iris]

excellent then Im gonna grab the normandy tomorrow

[wanton ore]

What chart is for the broken freighters?

[grand tinsel]

Distress

[wanton ore]

Thank. Is it the same for the downed starships?

[grand tinsel]

Yep

[wanton ore]

Thank

[grand tinsel]

Welcome

[wanton ore]

I will get that Normandy

Then I would be all caught up. Until they release expedition 5

[wanton ore]

Ok, there’s “secret”, “emergency”, “commercial”, “alien”, and “specialist”

[grand tinsel]

Emergency

[wanton ore]

Got

[tepid meadow]

@wanton ore buy 4, pop them all (ignore the errors, just keep clicking), that should give you all three sites you need to visit.

[wanton ore]

Got

[mossy sigil]

Just finished the entire expedition. Took me 3 hours, normandy is all mine!

[dusty vale]

this should've been one week tops i think

[spare jewel]

eh 2 weeks is fine, some people have full time (and more) jobs, family obligations, etc.

[quick herald]

Yeah, i had enough time to finish exp 1 just once, then had to work on location for 6 days, so i appreciate the 2 weeks

[severe ibex]

Roar out here just making sense sheeeeeesh

[upper plank]

I hope to be in the right channel, I am currently trying to finish expedition #2, I lost the historiographical dosimeter and I cannot finish the expedition.. Quicksilver guy states already redeemed and cannot find help ig

[molten lichen]

Maybe ask in nms help channel?

[quick herald]

Have you tried going to an alien artifact site anyway?

Someone who's completed this expedition can actually unlock the Dosimeter on a new Expedition save and just transfer it to you as well.
It would only take them as long as it takes to warp out of the system so they can access the Anomaly and claim the dosimeter from the QS vendor

[upper plank]

yes there it says i need it, and I was actually thinking of quickly unlocking it on my bf's account and just transfer to myself, I heard it would also be possible to spawn with a mod so can also take a look at that! 😄

[upper plank]

I did! 😄 Was not sure where it was best at first 😄

[gusty pollen]

I need help, I took a blackhole while doing Phase 5...and I am being launch somewhere now

I can't find the rendervous point for phase 5 anymore

[plain bolt]

Can you go back through the black hole? @gusty pollen

[gusty pollen]

no

i think i need someone who is doing the expedition right now

and join their game

or group with them to go to their system

[plain bolt]

Try a Teleporter to go back to a station

[gusty pollen]

i was trying to follow the path for last 3 hours so i am already gone beyond that point

[plain bolt]

No you aint

[quick herald]

The last 50 space stations youve visited are stored in the teleporter list

[plain bolt]

[gusty pollen]

i tried I actually went beyond the 50+ space stations

[plain bolt]

Oof

[quick herald]

i actually dont believe that

because if youve been warping for 3 hours, youd have to stop at every single station and then some to make up that time

[gusty pollen]

i actually did that to buy exosuit slot

[quick herald]

and even still, you can also go to the Anomaly and warp to another players base as it most certainly will be on the expedition path

[gusty pollen]

i will try that

[gusty pollen]

i asked someone ...and got it

[snow moat]

Hello. I just went to try the Beachhead expedition and I got as far as the bit where you are supposed to warp somewhere in the freighter (I did not know you could do this!) but something has gone wrong. When I build the fleet command room I did not get a blueprint for frigate fuel. Without fuel I can't go anywhere, there was nothing in the inventory on my capital ship at all.

[limber cosmos]

To warp in a freighter, you use warp cores, not frigate fuel

You warp in a freighter like you would in a starship 🙂

[snow moat]

oh. ok. So it is normal in this expedition that I don't get the frigate fuel blueprint by building the fleet command room then?

[limber cosmos]

That I don’t know

Frigate fuel is just for the missions

I think you shouldddd get the blueprint for it

[snow moat]

at least the frigate fuel is now a "nice to have" not an essential for the next mission.

I never knew about warping in a freighter

[limber cosmos]

Yeah, I only figured it out when EXP2 came out lol

[snow moat]

thanks @limber cosmos

[limber cosmos]

Np

Good luck

[hollow schooner]

oh well, as that's a question regarding expeditions maybe it goes here (#nms-questions message)

I just thought it's maps for emergency signals as well but now I found second broken ship while I actually need to find someone alive

[quartz nebula]

Question, with the Myth Beacon, is it normal to have to travel over 30k lyrs to reach the mission point?

[quick herald]

Not really. I'd recommend teleporting to one of the rendezvous systems like rdv 4.
I think rdv 4 was close but i could be misremembering.
It's definitely near the expedition path

[quartz nebula]

Okay, because i havemade 27 jumps with a range of 1500 and it just keeps going, thanks

[quick herald]

Look for any of the following space station names in your teleporter list

[quartz nebula]

I was able to go back to a system and it was a jump away, thabk you though!

[snow moat]

I picked up a broken ship and half fixed it. I decided to keep her since she had more potential cargo space than my starter ship and I went off to find some dioxite and sodium nitrate to help me do the repairs. When I came back the ship wasn't showing as mine anymore and I had to reclaim it and all the things I fixed were broken again! What happened?

even worse I had used some of the modules I got as rewards on that ship, so I lost them now?

[snow moat]

Even though I reclaimed it a second time it does not appear in my Freighter.

[hardy steeple]

Have you tried respawning your freighter? Reloading should also work. If it’s not, you might have run into some strange bug.

[snow moat]

I will see when I next hop on. Got some odd bugs in Elite today as well. not my day it seems.

[gleaming minnow]

When you said you 'came back' to this ship, where exactly was this?

[snow moat]

There was a distress signal. I claimed the ship at the signal, mended the drives on it and some of the busted slots, put upgrades on it. Went to get stuff to fix the other systems (on the same planet in my exocraft), and returned to the ship to find I couldn't just get on board I was being asked to compare it to my old ship (which was still there) and did I want to claim it. And sure enough it had reset.

[edgy dock]

have you checked your ships inventory? you may now just have two of them.

[gleaming minnow]

Sounds like the ship you claimed, had been moved to your Freighter, which will happen if it gets out of focus while using another ship as your active one. It then likely respawned a new crashed ship at the site, which is identical, but not owned by you. Check your freighter or your summoning quick menu to see if the one you got first, is there

[spare jewel]

the fast thing you can do is check from a planet to see under the quick menu if you see it under the summoning menu for other ships.

depending on whether you fueled it, it might not actually be summonable on the planet's surface but it should be in your list at least.

[edgy dock]

i'd check quick menu. if there are any glitches going on, reload latest save. the ship or potentially ships you've claimed would show there.

[gleaming minnow]

Doesn't hurt having some spare parts I guess

[spare jewel]

😄 or scrapping one of them later...

[edgy dock]

yeah

[hardy steeple]

Hopefully it will be sorted when you log back in. Good luck traveler.

[snow moat]

I went back to the freighter and there was nothing but the ship I came in.

[gleaming minnow]

How about the Quick Menu ship spawn options?

[snow moat]

I am going to hop on again now (been doing irl stuff) and we shall see... Thanks for the ideas travellers.

[gleaming minnow]

Hope it all works out fine without too many oddities, but do let us know if not

[snow moat]

Good News Everyone! I just logged in on my freighter and I found two copies of the claimed ship, one with the repairs and upgrades intact, and the other all busted up. Unfortunately I also have the texture bug and have to log in again so hopefully they will still be there.

[edgy dock]

sweet! i'm sure they'll still be there.

[spare vale]

anybody know a hot planet around the 4th rendezvous

[winter obsidian]

Open Catalogue tab in menu, locate Phosphorus, it should point a way to a hot planet

[spare vale]

these don't count as volcanic planets?

[sharp ocean]

Or basalt

[devout warren]

iirc one of the rendezvous are a volcanic planet

[quick herald]

There's definitely a volcanic planet in the starting system

It's kind of a long pulse away from the station though iirc, and i think it has hostile sentinels (not like that matters though)

[fossil moat]

So is it no longer possible to get the golden vector?

[quick herald]

only if someone glitch gives it to you.
it will reroll all stats/class though

[fossil moat]

Ah okay I wasn’t sure if these expeditions are repeatable at a later date

[spare vale]

well they are being relaunched currently

maybe next year

[fossil moat]

Okay

[winter obsidian]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/275850/view/3133939839920908155

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/275850/view/3133939205655999684

don’t mean to flood the chat, but if the opening paragraphs are any indication

they ain’t coming back

We don’t have any sources saying they’ll be back next year, and one source saying that they won’t be back ever

And that’s these articles/news events they’re putting out on steam

Though the official website makes no mention of this being their last run. But a lack of proof is not proof

[ebon wigeon]

is it too late to do these? I am a newbie so im not even out of the tutorial yet!

[devout warren]

too late for exp 1 but the rest is currently going or is going to go in the future

[ebon wigeon]

ok! it says 6 days left though, or something, so when that time's up, are they doing more?

[feral pewter]

They're re-running all four expeditions so they'll run the other two afterwards, Expedition 3 starts on the 22nd.

[ebon wigeon]

oh yay!

[sage ermine]

if anyone has questions about Exped 2, phase 4, system discovery HEAD AWAY FROM GAL CORE

about 10-20k LY from exped region is good start

[dull willow]

The rarer the system the more likely it's undiscovered yellow stars are probably all found but blue and green have a better chance

[quick herald]

I usually recommend red since they seem to be neglected by players more readily (95% are uninhabited, and activated cadmium is not worth as much as activated indium)

[snow moat]

Do you have to buy the myth beacon with quicksilver?

[snow moat]

Bother. I never did a multiplayer mission. I couldn't figure any other way and last night I tried to do a nexus mission to get some. One was for building a base. Easy, or so I thought. Just whack down a basic base and done, I could do it alone. But no: you had to build it the way nada wanted with 6 bioreactors etc. and on a stupid planet with no water and poor resources. I couldn't finish before it was time to sleep.

[snow moat]

So should I just hang out at the nexus and wait for some rando to invite me?

[modest hemlock]

i would just disable mp and run the daily mission

they cycle

[snow moat]

I teamed up with someone and we did our nexus mission and completed the expedition. Yeah!

[scarlet ruin]

Cant find the myth beacon in the quicksilver shop... is there a specific trigger that adds it?

[modest hemlock]

completing the previous milestone, iirc

[scarlet ruin]

Apparently just relogging fixed it

[hardy steeple]

Congrats Traveler! 🚀

[silver ermine]

Cannot find the target for Myth beacon deployment. Got it in shop and "current mission" in galaxy map keeps going on and on. warped through 20 systems and no end yet. Am i doing anything wrong?

[severe ibex]

@silver ermine turn off multiplayer and reload maybe

[quick herald]

see the last system on this list ^^

It's pretty close to rendezvous 4 iirc

[tepid meadow]

down to 1h12m playtime for full solve, and several things went wrong(tm) on that run.

are any of the rdv systems korvax?

ah, no, they are all gek or vyk, but Eeoohig XI (the atlas system near rdv5) is korvax.

[tepid meadow]

hm. two options to use that to complete the korvax language milestone ... either station (which would mean doubling the number of stations visited, 😱 ) ... or if able to nav to it without polos help, keep some of the readings-for-nada steps for that system, and get words while taking readings at monoliths ...

(perhaps station is easier)

[craggy oyster]

has anyone else experienced this.. when u go the station on the first system you spawn in during expedition you can keep requesting dialect help form one of the npc

[copper vigil]

Expedition 2 redux is the first one I’ve actually completed. Here’s a guide aimed at beginners who just want to get the Normandy and don’t necessarily have time for the other milestones along the way.

https://reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/rhi88n/expedition_2_beachhead_guide_normandy_for/

[storm totem]

Any tips for finding undiscovered systems?

[serene mulch]

go up or down from the path towards the center

[winter obsidian]

turn off your console's internet (if youre on console), or load up nms in offline mode (if youre on pc)

[serene mulch]

well, yeah, that works, if you're desperate. 🙂

[storm totem]

Ty, ended up finding some

[tulip bay]

How do I get the crashed freighter logs?

[modest hemlock]

just interact with the distress beacon in the middle of the crashed freighter site

the ball looking object

[lofty bane]

idk what happened but the game is taking me like half way across the galaxy for the myth beacon

[native silo]

it's trying to guide you back to the system for rendevous 5

[lofty bane]

I think I got dumped a long way away after doing a mission :S

[native silo]

go to a space station teleporter

there's got to be a base somebody built on rendevous 5

[gleaming minnow]

In addition to my reply in #nms-questions , maybe any of the system names below will be of help

Why not the current expedition Gunter?

Uncharted, correct, no space station. Abandoned still has one, but broken and red lighting inside

[void heath]

After finding 3 data for Polo, the «Anomalous Research» quest isn’t showing up in my log. The quicksilver merchant does not sell the myth beacon either. Has someone run into this problem as well?

[modest hemlock]

quicksilver companion should be selling the myth beacon for 80quicksilver, had no problems getting it. you need to "Create exotic Quicksilver items", not "Claim expedition rewards"

[placid raft]

what are the phase 5 milestones? i don't know if the encrypted text is a clue or not

complete them in order

(encrypted text isn't a clue)

how do i deploy the myth beacon?

[modest hemlock]

@placid raft stand next to the related building, use it from your inventory

[placid raft]

which building? the boundary failiures on glitched planets?

[modest hemlock]

near rdv5, the galaxy map should have a system marked with a traveler grave-like icon. go to that system, then fly to the marked location on one of the planets there

Are there any special galaxies or systems to find a tier s fighter?

I have one already but i want to find a fancier one...

[feral pewter]

#nms-questions for these sorts of questions, please.

[bitter junco]

What time does the expedition end? Do i still have time to grind it out if I haven't yet?

[feral pewter]

22nd.

I think you have until 24 hours before to start or something like that.

[serene mulch]

yeah, you can do in a few hours, go to final rendezvous and work the tasks in that stage

[runic heron]

Hmm, bit of an issue, I cant get the myth beacon

[serene mulch]

purchase it from the QS vendor

[runic heron]

the progress bar is at 54%

yeah I cant find it in the massive list

I suspect it has to do with the whole community tier thing or whatever

[serene mulch]

yeah, no easy way to sort that, I guess. it's in there. 🙂

[runic heron]

Create exotic items?

[serene mulch]

I think it's in the same category as the void egg, if that helps

[runic heron]

Well I'd be damned

I found it

[serene mulch]

cool

[runic heron]

looked through it 2 or 3 times

and now I find it instantly

XD

ty

[serene mulch]

welcome!

[runic heron]

so do I get the normandy for all my saves, or just the expedition one?

[serene mulch]

yeah, it's unlockable in other saves

at the QS vendor, choose Expedition rewards

make sure you have a frigate slot open first though

[runic heron]

cool, ty

Since I got the normandy now I should probably finally do the grind to get a cool looking S class

[serene mulch]

heh, yeah

[runic heron]

I got super lucky on my 1st roll and got a A class capital for free

[serene mulch]

sweet

[runic heron]

but its a bit stubby

[serene mulch]

I ground for a S class, super-size Venator, took 51 rerolls (which is dead on the average), but in my permadeath save, I got very lucky and got an S on the 3rd try, when I was going to be happy to settle for an A

[runic heron]

51, yikes

[serene mulch]

yeah, there's only a 2% chance of getting the S

[runic heron]

Ive got nothing else to do really, got a living ship, got an exotic squid

I guess I can grind 50k nanites to upgrade my a class fighter to an s

but meh

[serene mulch]

nice. it really didn't take long. Kill a few pirates, check from the cargo bay, reload

[runic heron]

I fly my living ship most of the time anyway

[serene mulch]

it took longer to hunt for the ship itself

[runic heron]

NMS coords?

I just browse that

and find something I like

[serene mulch]

I think I checked 30 systems or so before I found it. No, I searched my own systems

I've used NMS coords for a few starships though

[runic heron]

I might regrind an S class fighter

dont know if I like my current one's model

oh well

[serene mulch]

at this point, it's faster to grab the design when you see it and get the nanites to upgrade it.

[runic heron]

yeah

trye

I grind for nanites by scrapping, you?

Ive got an activated and a normal indium farm so money is no object

[serene mulch]

I was doing that yeah, but now I've found a few runaway mould farms on NMSC and do it that way

[runic heron]

ah cool

[serene mulch]

and I'm still doing derelict runs to upgrade my freighter, so I turn all of the tainted metal into nanites as well

I got distracted by expeditions, so I haven't gotten back to that in a while. 🙂

[runic heron]

Golden vector looks sexy as hell ngl

hope they rerun that expedition

[runic heron]

You cant upgrade freighter class tho right?

[serene mulch]

correct. I was referring to the bulkheads and fleet upgrades

I've already finished the hyperdrive

[grand tinsel]

Love the interaction here, but let's shift to #no-mans-sky or #nms-questions once expedition conversation is over

[serene mulch]

From what Hello Games said in the last week or so, I don't think they are going to re-run these expeditions again. Which kind of sucks, they should have run these AFTER Christmas.

[runic heron]

Oh well

Guess I'll settle for a non-gold ship

[lyric pewter]

What time does the next expedition open up? And are there any rewards that can be claimed across other save files?

[feral pewter]

22nd and I'm not sure what you mean by other rewards.

[lyric pewter]

I mean the phase rewards that can be claimed in other saves - like how on my normal save, I was able to get the Normandy by visiting the quicksilver merchant.

[feral pewter]

All Quicksilver purchases, Twitch drop rewards, and Expedition rewards can be claimed once per save - across all saves, in any mode.

[devout hemlock]

Not that I have any other saves but that kinda sucks

Quicksilver purchases make sense but definitely seems like you should be able to get expedition rewards on every save

But tbh all the item & mod rewards you get on the expedition save are way better than the quicksilver stuff. I don't even want to use my main save file anymore lol

[feral pewter]

You can, that's what I said lol

[devout hemlock]

I see dat edit

[feral pewter]

I edited to make it clearer, it's what I meant in the first place 🙂
