but 'recall them instantly and that counts', that's the part I disagree with
by going offline and setting new date on windows clock
I sent them out trying to maximize their chances, got living ship upgrades and a dream aerial for my trouble
wait what do you mean by recall?
so now on my expd save I have an organic frigate, still nothing on the main save 😛
if it works it works
I'm not waiting a whole week for this shit
Yeah, they didn't put much effort in making this 2 month long expedition not take more than 2 days, huh.
got somewhere else to be during that week? I mean, you don't have to be in game for them to run
expeditions never take more than 2 days to complete
cough beachhead cough
I must just suck, then. I didn't manage to complete 7 in like a week. 😂
true
oh right, self assign the role, how easily distracted I am
this one was nice
it was a good showcase of content, but lacking in the narrative piece, imo
beachhead was the easiest one
this is second easiest expedition
the only hard part is collecting enough money at the start
it's never that hard to bootstrap your income
with 5 editions of twitch drops it's not that hard
pre edit i read that as Jar Jar 😹
I don't have the twitch drops sadly
don't need them though
yousa not sure if meesa killed the gek
and since there are other ways such as artifact hunting, money comes really fast
to visit another freighter do you just have to join group and portal to their freighter?
One can assume that after this expedition, HG will repeat all 4 expeditions after Emergence
yay the debriefing commanders bug no longer happens to me
Why only those 4?
Can someone help visit their freighter for the optional step?
because the already did a repeat of the first 4
heh... time to find stuff to sell real quick lol
Same thing happened after Emergence has finished. They repeated all expeditions to that point.
and the mac/ipad
dang, should of tore down old base before buying new freighter
Is anyone else stuck in first person for this expedition?
Starting to think my frigate expeditions are bugged....
DO you have to have Quicksilver> Or will it just automatically allow you to get them without spending anything?
tried switching to third person? I know it's stupid question but...
it will allow you to get them without spending anything
it happened to all three of my expeditions
I've got 600 quicksilver in my exp save can I transfer those to my normal save once I've finished the exp?
😦 I just wish we could have intra-save storage...
oh wait aborting frigate expeditions still counts for the mission progress
Maybe I should wait before joining... seems a lot of people are complaining about bugs...
only bug I've had so far is the frigate timer bug
You've been safe from the refinery bugs?
There's a 50/50 chances those are in your favor, at least. 😂
what refinery bug?
Refineries tend to be very giving of their inventories.
Either giving your stuff to someone else, or someone else's stuff to you.
More than once I've had stuff randomly appear that I had nothing to do with, and I've watched it just.. eat my stuff more than once.
no I haven't seen that, but I also haven't just left any refineries running while I do something else
Oh, no, this was literally while looking at them.
Well, the finding stuff was after returning from other stuff having left them empty.
I have an ask.... how to build base?? Never???
Not gonna turn down a few thousand chlorine, but I definitely didn't make it. 😂
After you complete expedition and it converts to a regular save you'll be able to.
ah, OK, it mean "never" to me. Thank you 🤣
👍 Glad I could help. I think the pins have more info.
did you do anything witj tje system clock on that save?
nope, I don't mess with the system clock ever
welp that's a genuine bug then, please do report it
Tried that, didnt work
Only thing you can do is spend what you can of it, or keep doing QS missions on that save if there's something in particular you want.
man I finally got a ship distress signal and it ended up being a stranded vykeen rather than one i could take
Thanks - Nothing I really want to keep on this save once I've completed the expedition... I have over 200hrs on my normal save which I'll keep on with and as long as I can get my rewards there too I'll be fine...
Well you've got to wait some days for the freighter missions, might as well do the weekend and regular QS stuff
What is the weekend stuff this weekend, anyway?
Question then - If I buy stuff on this expedition account will I able to get the same thing with out having to spend anything in my normal acc?
it should be reclaimable for free
but you'll still need to go to the shop to get it again
do I have to fix every part of a crashed ship for the crashed ship mission or do I just need to fix the parts that make it fly
Just the parts to make it fly, and make it to orbit
cool
how exactly am i supposed to get silver without a terrain tool?
asteroids?
would be nice if i ever found any
and some galactic terminal thingamajics
there are a lot in space
I usually just fly in a straight line for a bit until I find a big ole honkin' cloud of the things.
yeah i get that. i havent found any. at all. i keep running out of tritium and getting stuck in space because i cant get any bloody fuel
that's odd, most asteroid fields I run into dole out tritium, gold, and silver I just keep flying in circles blowing them all up
yeah. thats the problem. THERES NO ASTEROID FIELDS
You've got spectacular luck, honestly.
try pulsing and stopping multiple times
Heck, about half of the systems I've been in had one surrounding me when I warp in.
i figured out a way to get a terrain tool... but im gonna need like 1500 silver before i can reach that point
apparently the minotaur geocraft has one.
I don't even know to get that in the expedition..
I've seen some caves i think that have some random semi rare finds with the typical asteroid minerals- gold, silver, platinum
It's always mixed in with cobalt here and there, hard to see
You know you can just craft the jelly from the hydrogen - don't need to refine it
I will say, though, Vexus, I have been starving for silver. So I get that part of it. This expedition wants silver like nobody's business. But I've definitely just had to farm asteroid clouds for it.
yes
I regularly fix the landing thruster and jump drive, then fly it to the station to scrap.
expedition 8: Polestar
And the last was the leviathan right?
For how long will it be active
6 weeks left i think
1 month
Technically you don't NEED to repair the shield ... but if you get attacked by pirates now, you... are going to wish you had
completion reward is apparently a "child of Helios companion egg" whatever that means.
some of the more recent expeditions have been giving pets as final rewards
Honestly, the cape and freighter engine cosmetic is why I completed this expedition
Dat Singularity Drive though. 😂
Was hoping for some Event Horizon horror stuff to happen
Why do I get the feeling, when it's actually implemented, is going to be a portable Portal
Says on my game save 2 months to go...
What do you mean "when it's actually implemented"?
I've already used mine..
That would be hella useful to have.... 🙂
It's also definitely not a portal. 😦
well it was "introduced" before the expedition, and wasn't installable then
Ah. The final milestone is actually using it.
When I finish all the milestones, will it automatically transfer my save to a normal one or will there be a prompt?
It's just a blackhole. 🤷♂️
automatically
I'm guessing there will be a prompt.
would have been more fun if it was a relic gate you could summon
you'll go somewhere, but won't know where 'til you get there
Actually, check the pins @urban violet
yay only 5 missions left (not counting rendezvous and log ones)
I actually found one as a random encounter when pulseing - Took me back to the beginning system...
For wing commander do I need to unlock 3 squadron slots or can I hire some, fire them and hire another?
You probably have to have 3 slots.
There are a fair bit of milestones that give a lot of nanites, though
Yeah I've got enough I just didn't want to waste them of I didn't need to ^^;
Yeah
does anything in phase 5 need chromatic metal to build
hi ppl. Can I convert the expedition save to normal if I don't have the optional milestones ?
Kinda stuck on "Log 2: Into The Black. Any suggestions? Tried to warp to another system to see if that changed anything. It didn't
go to the Rendezvous 2 system then read
Did you buy a new freighter? If so just save and reload and be in the right system
how do i tell which freighters belong to other players?
Anyone looking for a co op session to play through the expedition with?
useless underwater mods
@west dune pretty sure it resets midnight utc or maybe midnight users time i forget which
I wonder if it’s possible to get a singularity engine on my main save
yeah but its been a whole day?
I’ve done everything except the frigate expeditions one lol 5/8 on that
resets at 00:00 utc, which is in 1 hour and 45 minutes
Got a organic frigate summon thing from my first expedition so it’s nice
okay now that makes more sense
Hey so you know how your starting ship and all ships you get in the expedition don't have hyperdrives?
I don't have golden vector
But I do have twitch drops and they all have hyperdrives
I see
Yeah I got the twitch drops
Wish I could have gotten my preorder alpha vector but the PS5 version doesn’t have that for some reason
Still hasn’t been fixed for like half a year
whats that
I took a long break from NMS some while back so I missed out on the first few expeditions 
The bonus ship you got for preordering the game
oouu
The golden vector is an expedition reward, right?
The very first expedition yeah
yeah
There aren’t any ships as rewards this time
I rejoined back during the exobiology one.
I could have done all the expeditions but I just got lazy and only did Cartographers exobiology and this one
Sadge
does anyone know how to convert an expedition save to a normal save once you are done?
It just does it for you when the expedition is over
Not when you finish
Go save I think that’s what triggers it
when the expedition expires
i just realited one of the rewards is a blueprint for a burning barrel. am i the only one who thinks "why would i put a sign of hobos into my freighter"?
No they changed it this time
ah ok
yeah it looks pretty cool tbh, but just the thought feels so hobo like to me
Yeah lol
all the cool things in your freighter... holograms, teleporters, plants... A BURNING BARREL
HA yeah
I’ve filled my freighter with lots of the twitch reward creeping vines and mushrooms and all that
i missed the campaign a bit and only got day 3 and 4 i think 😦
From what I understand, claiming the 'final' completion reward converts it
can confirm, as i just did that.
my vote on next expedition is a 2 month process in order to remove photon cannons from my dag nabbit starship
@sick kelp You can always break it to remove it from your weapons toggle.
If I want to claim rewards on my main save vs my expedition save -- do I just not claim the main Phase Rewards or... should I not be claiming the 1-8 rewards of each phase
well im as good a done with exp
@opaque skiff. You can claim the main phase rewards on all saves. The individual milestone rewards only on the exp save
all thats left is wait for frig exp and join player freighter
but that for tomorrow
quite the short exp tbh
5 hrs and a half or so
Are we supposed to do a gravity slingshot before we do Log #5?
hello, i was wondering if someone could help me; im trying to restore a crashed ship, but everytime i find one theres a npc with it taht just takes the ship after i repaired it (through quest-dialog like choices, i dont get the interface of the ship)
is this new ? i remember being able to get into the ship before this expeditions, am i missing a step ?
You using the emergency maps from the SS?
yup
It can give multiple different types of rescue. Just a matter of find the right one
well i think so, i used them all now- went to distress signals
mmm
i went to like,, 5 different ships ? xd
they all took off with their pilot
anyone randomly get shot down by an actual player while just yk.. walking around scanning animals
you can turn that off in network settings
eh im almost done with the expedition i dont mind lol was a jumpscare tho
Turn off multiplayer
Or just PvP
True
i finished first stage of expedition and there is no new log avaible at captain of my freighter
read the cruise log
The in game popup
I like how every time I warp now it tells me it's a black hole warp. 😂
400ly? Black hole warp successful!
is anyone free for me to hop on their freighter ?
So is there any word on the S Class freighter modules? None of them seem to work for my fleet missions, during the expedition and after it converted to a normal save.
Sure, patched in experimental
Fixed an issue that prevented freighter upgrades related to frigate speed and fuel usage from working correctly.
Thank god
I planned to make this my new main save because of those but was very disappointed when they didn't actually work
Managed to get Dream Aerial blueprint too during the expeditions 8 fleet missions, something I still didn't have unlocked on my previous main save
Hello! I'm currently trying to do the "Hospitality" milestone, could anyone help me out?
mine still hasn’t reset
New routes? Do I have to wait for stuff in order to complete the exped?
How do I get living glass?
Craft it
Lean the blueprint at the anomaly station thingy
It’s in the back with all the other station thingies
you have to do 8 routes for your frigrates and i literally need 1 more but mine wont reset
its been a day already
@pulsar rose they always become active after you reach the next rendezvous point.
I'll look again
What’s a routes
i already did all of my rendezvous points ive done everything i need to exept for that specific thing because they wont reset
frigate missions i believe
yes
@west dune we talking about two different things
oh i mean it says routes
my bad
Yours resets at a certain time every day unless you already have people out
but again my problem still remains, they wont reset and its been a day
do they reset at the exact time i did them yesterday?
No, it's a game server time. However if you have frigates out at reset then the place they are taking on the mission list is stuck until the next day.
so when should i be expecting them to reset?
I don't know when reset is, I think it's somewhere between midnight and 3am cst
oh god
7 more minutes
how do i grind out the pirates
@fierce salmon the event where they attack system freighters, use your normal ship to warp to another system
thank
Whats the name of the system with the first rendezvous point?
i was told it could be anywhere from 12-3 am
it should definitely be reset now
The refinery room in the freighter LOOKS cool, but I wish it had more slots. It seems like I'd be better off, efficiency-wise, just deploying large & medium refiners in a big cargo bay
I haven't seen a single planet in my 15+ warps with activated copper listed on it. Are activated elements omitted from the discoveries menu? If so, how else can I distinguish extreme weather planets without landing?
The activated elements will only be present on plants / moons in the color-restricted star systems maybe i'm being imprecise about this let me think about it a little
Haven't checked my main save but activated elements were listed on specific planets there.
yeah that's what I remember, too
is there some sort of bug where refining cromatic metal in the freighter refiner outputs infinte chromatic metal?
cause i just got 100 out of thin air
Is multiplayer on?
yea
Server sometimes bugs out like that when other players are in the system. || Space Station NPCs reset dialogue options for the same reason. ||
yeah, I have trouble with the refineries in crowded systems, if I turn off multiplayer it doesn't seem to glitch out the same way
Might eat your stuff too, coin flip
about to finish phase 2
stuck on the submarine one can anyone help
need salt and the other thing got the metal
oh god. salt collecting is pain.
anyone got any spare
there is a planet. lots of salt. trying to remember which it is. if you're still stuck by the time I'm in game I'll help.
okay
couldn't collect any cos I needed the advanced mining laser for the giant salt crystals.
that's no longer any issue. :)
but I remember having to do another questline that focused on the sub. collecting salt made me hate it.
I dunno why they did it on a low-salt planet. swimming the /briny/ sea did not help :)
If you edit room => rotate the refiner, it should fix it temporarily at least.
I've had to do it twice so far.
that's not a bug. that's a feature. ;)
I'd construct another and let that one do its thing. :)
Unless you were expecting something more valuable than chromatic. 😐
I find I need chromatic the most for stuff.
I've had my stellar collector thing randomly fill up a few times too.
going salt hunting.
Are you familiar with the refinery loops?
Copper refines into Chromatic Metal. Copper + Chromatic Metal refines into Copper.
I think that loop exists for all 4 of the colored metals.
How does one go about getting living glass on the expedition
oh tihs makes me sad. that's a beautiful ship and I don't have the units for it.
i've been scrapping ships all day if you need items to sell i can come give ya some
thanks for the offer but by the time we meet up that ship'll be gone
Mark down the system, you should be able to come back and find it when you do. 🙂
frigate or regular ship? if normal ship that you fly just stand on top of it so pilot won't go back inside
hahahaha
and i can just join your game and come to you
cunning :)
I totally love that.
"Look mate. I said I'd buy it I just need the cash so just hol- oh now there's no need to get your weapon out. Have a little patience!"
haha
still there?
all good. I'm not sure if I'll do anything with this save. I already have a normal one going. It's still a lovely ship. /very/ fighter in style and brilliantly red. :)
no worries
does anyone have some chlorine, i desperatly need some and i cant warp anywhere
do you need chlorine or salt?
chlorine
how much?
k
if it fails, shout.
nice
ccarbon is good. many things need it.
at R3 there's a mouldy ball farm. if you have an advanced mining laser and are short on nanites it's the place to be.
oh man. if you glitch processing that...
Anyone on PS4 or just in general that can trade a void egg for.... Well idk. Whatever lol. Really don't wanna grind the Nexus. Not my thing
I got it just by playing the game. if you've the patience to wait just play.
my freighter is a maze.
I’m not on ps4 but we can still do the trade by using friend codes
Does anyone have any emeril?
i might
i just need one piece i can make more from it if you do
anyone want to see the mid-game shopping list?
there's a ship that you'll need to fix. this may help you not have to grind mid-game.
(you gotta find the ship so the shopping list will be different - this would be indicative)
75 x act copper
9 x antimatter
10 x chlorine
365 x chrom metal
30 x cond carb
1 x dihy jelly
80 x dioxite
200 x ferrite dust
120 x gold
1 x hermetic seal
150 x magnetised ferrite
4 x metal plating
100 x oxygen
300 x paraffinium
75 x phospherous
75 x platinum
45 x pugneum
175 x pure ferrite
60 x pyrite
50 x sodium
13 x sodium nitrate
10 x wiring loom
so that's for me :)
this just for the ship?
dont you just need to fix the pulse drive and launch thrusters to get the milestone
yep thats all i did
ok. nevermind the list then :)
does anyone have emeril, ill trade for Cadium or Idium
no sadly
I have a dream aerial I can duplicate
ok so hermetic seal, metal plating,dihy jelly and 50 pure ferrite :)
@honest sand give me a few mins and i can get you some emeril
So I gotta hunt pirates and I’m in a lawless system. What’s the best way to find them?
i need to find the crashed ship, how do i do it?
For sure
Cartography and buy the destress beacon
on the space station btw
I think this focus on water in this game may be setting us up for a major water-related update.
how long ago?
ok. thought I had something there :)
@honest sand got you about 4k worth, that good?
what do you need the emril for/
atlaspass v3, venom urchin is what i used it for but also chromatic warp shielding for freighter
you get the atlas pass gifted as a quest reward
do you need it to get to any of the rendevous
check which one. gives you a set of them v1-v3
i unlocked them manually and just crafted them
used the nexus to get into a blue system and made the indium drive for freighter so i can just go anywhere
fair
that is quite smart
damn it. enough with the supply weasels. I want trade and combat! :/
great. get combat. costs 8k units more than I got :/
dam need 3000 more nanites to get another pilot on the squadron for the milstone
wtf just got this hilariously small explorer
wait no EVERYTHING IS SMALL
HELP
nice ship
obv a gek ship :)
ow
i have 90k :)
my explorer with me for scale
and now I have 9k :)
lol and i regular sized shuttle just spawned
woo! found a market for some of my self-sealing stem bolts! 1.1mil in profit. :)
whoa 1.8mil in profit for another set and 2.3mil for the 3rd. Rockin.
from 9k to 14.7mil in one foul swoop.
my exlporer grew up
awww
it does
i need some pirates to shoot down lol
the market for self-sealing stem bolts here is quite lucrative.
EXOTIC
that just dissapeared
meh
coudlnt buy it anyways
nice s class recruit
An exotic starship landed in front of me but I didn't know about the visit another player's freighter milestone aaaaaa
Hey quick question, I just traded my starting expedition freighter for a nicer one, I transferred my base but now my captain doesn't have the option to show ship log, did I mess up my expedition progress somehow?
no you're fine, I traded mine in as well
Ok, thanks
just might need to warp out, save and reload
gotcha
and you can only read the log in the system of the rendezvous point
or A rendevous point, i had to go to number three to read the second log
Is anyone's game getting frozen when they get sent a friend request on the Anomaly?
Bro the expedition is teasing me my first capital ship I save is an A class on a save I will never use but it took me 5h to get an S
Well not that I can buy it but still
i'll buy it for you at that point if it's an S and 5 hrs
No like 5h on my main save
oh
Yeah no I wouldn’t grind that hard without having enough to buy it for sure
How do you read the cruise logs? I tried what I did for the first log but is just says there’s nothing new to report
last expedition took me no joke 25ish hrs i think for the S class freighter
How far is the last expedition point from the previous one? I've been traveling for ages and it doesn't help the route only goes as far as about 400ly instead of the 900 range I have
Wow
yea =/
LF someone to help me with hospitality
me?
yeus
k, be there in a sec
we gotta be friends right?
might get lucky and be in same instance we'll see
Whats your favorite color?
tie with purple and red
That;s enough info if police asks
penguin
Finished yay
easy ass expedition
glad i didnt use any of my upgrades
more upgrades/nanites for my main
I'm probably making my expedition save my main lol
I mean sure it was easy but it wasn’t bad
i kinda liked a new playthrough
Although still using the whale watcher cloak cause the expedition rewards from a harder expedition mean more to me yknow it’s a sign of accomplishment
never did the older ones
polestars my first
shitty rewards unfortunately
wish i did exobio those rewards were sick
The last one was actually hard well until you get the feel
leviathan right
how do you get on another traveler's freighter
dismiss your own
they have to be in your group i think
Where can I find the portal? Is there one on R1?
I have on main save: whalestalker cloak because I like the looks of it the best; xenobiolgist title because it suits better than the others I guess; and some random banner, heh
Thanks for the help 😄
never heard of it 😛
Check The Last Starfighter. I got it on DVD way back. It's fun. :)
The Last Starfighter
ok. so you can't land on the stop advertised as a landing spot at R4.
if the message thingoes prevent landings then the ones next to the first one that ppl put in thanks ruined it.
oh i build a landing spot there, but then the next way it was gone :/
poop :(
no base thingy so RIP
I burnt through 2 life support refuels to get there and back.
it was like exaclty above it cuz i couldnt be botherd to swim back to shup
my nautislues became a trampoline everytime
they put two fauna as rare underground on R4 world. like... wtf? :/
and most fauna is land based.
I warp-hopped. stop at ever system from one R to the next and bought them along the way
I also got suit upgrades (they are now costing 100k+), easy missions and did trade (~5 mil profit out of 1 trade)
so if you're not at R5 yet... :)
im at r5
poop
i can afford it tho thanks to Foam and Pirate merchant
yeah that helped
just checked completed hours from my past three expeditions:
Blighted took me 6 hours 35 mins approx (as my original save was deleted)
Leviathan took me closer to 7 hours
Polestar took me 6 hours 10 mins
you can check that?
saved games i bet
yes
that was saved games
i made a trick about buying at least 8 frigates to achieve milestone: by scrapping an A-class starship for approx 33M units.
I am at 21 hours with this expedition and planning for more, going to host visits to freighter again later today
that i collected from Twitch awards
is anyone online that i can do the hospitality mission with
it's optional
so it's unnecessary, like what I did during leviathan expedition, skipping optional is all g
polestar cape goes hard
timing :)
@indigo falcon maybe
Yes, but I want to do it.
I don't know how to make psn connections work so that would be all you, @sick mulch
i already completed any of three so i tend to skip optional milestones as this won't count for completion
if you know how to do that piece of it once I send my friend code, then great
ok want to send it via DM?
when i completed any expeditions, i abandoned those saves
so that i can spend more time at my survival mode save
i'll wait for expedition 9 to be prepared for marathon
this optional was easy as was the last so no real effort there to do
well this one is easy if you're on this discord :)
same. single player game to help with crashing less.
because i already experienced both normal and survival mode saves so doing expeditions are bit easier to be completed than without prior experience
taking much less time did worked for me too
that's why i made some tricks regarding to completing any expeditions, here's my achievements so far:
for acquiring storm crystal as an ingredient for warp hypercore to build singularity: storm crystal on planets labeled as (Activated Copper), only extreme worlds with extreme cold, hot, radioactive and toxic does.
to purchase at least 8 frigates: sell an A-class starship collected from Twitch rewards for scrap.
someone told me that i have to cancel mission and debrief as it counted as "explored" in order to complete at least 8 frigate exploration missions for a milestone
there's a pin for worlds with storm crystals. also another pin with alternate methods for storm crystal acquisition or for not bothering to get one at all 😉
oh i just wanted to assist others
please do! and remind them to look at the pins as well. we try to collect all of this useful info so it's there for everyone
where do i submit my completed screenshot?
the role is self assign this time so just go claim it.
thanks!
thanks, i'll try my best to do so: for pirate missions, find mission agent in space stations that has pirate missions, alternatively find another for Space Anomaly nexus mission that labelled as "hunt pirates"
hey @sick mulch I'm gonna leave the group now if that's ok, got things to do (like run all my trade loops)
ah ty
Yeh, I left, thanks again!
to acquire more nanites: scan any of creatures to completion as nexus and space station missions are inadequate. this would contribute to purchase at least 3 rooms for recruiting pilots as squadrons
yw! if you get time, help someone else along the way 🙂
Can the spawn of helios be manipulated in the egg sequencer?
Wondering if colors can be changed
I don't have info on that yet
I guess I need to test it
I have squadrons, purchased upgrades and tech and I have 16k nanites left over. I do fauna hunts.
Anyone know what’s up with purple base icons that don’t actually lead to bases? I just teleported you one and nearly died because it’s at the top of an incredibly high mountain-
I wonder if HG are editing (badly) bases away.
Could the other expedition pets be changed like that?
okay sooooooooo what happens when i activate the singularity drive?
spoilers!
Is it true you can living frigates in any save file or just the one with the whale expedition
I don't wanna know until I press the shiny red button.
but you asked the magic question :)
and I was giving others a heads up that answering it here may ruin things for at least 1 person :)
famous last words :)
SPOILERS: ||Really big random galactic warp, mine took me about 500k light years in distance||
i spoiler tagged it we good?
beat your record LMAO
how do i use spoilers
@indigo falcon Looks like you can't change the color at least. Just tried a few different colors and always got the pale blue
dm
Put || on both sides of your text
thx
||like this||
Finished Expedition
enjoy your mid pet
I is penguin
It’s from that penguin thingy, right? The thing that got shut down
perchance
The game with the penguins, little fluff balls, and that spy mini game
how do i get the fancy Polestar icon next to name
jeeze. 1 stop off and my hyperdrive is outta fuel :)
Yay
lucky I have 6 hypercores.
Enjoy your new role lol
i keep thinking there are kids on the space stations
but it's just gek talking to not-gek.
damn. can't finish the expedition for at least 3.5 hours.
I am /so/ glad I casually picked up some crystal sulph. Just because.
There are so many frigate upgrades in this expedition its pretty neat
yeah :)
but how do you all normally find Salvaged frigate modules? they are all needed to unlock most of the items
I spent ages looking for storm crystals haha
Me too. Got one out of a mission then I checked the nexus and it had a "find 20 crystals" mission. was sorted. :)
thats the best method hahah. i kept browsing the Discovery menu to find a planet with crazy storms
What sort of maps do you need from the cartographer for crashed ships?
Graphic is portal to a planet with Storm Crystals on it
later I found a planet on the warp path from R2 to R3 that had extreme weather. :)
Get Distress signal maps
open enough to get the (!) signal
I guess stuff in the freighter refiner still disappears 
oh yeah i remember there was one earlier on around that point
Emergency Data maps?
and so The Shiny Red Button is before me. Have to wait 3.5 hours for the freighter missions to complete. :(
Congrats! 🙂
ta :)
emergency must be the new name
🙂 Thanks - Got enough to buy 7 will that be enough to fond a crashed ship without an NPC...?
yeah
you can just use the same chart on a planet until it shows you the right icon. i think its a red (!)
which is for a crashed ship (i think there's a chance it will have a pilot or not)
I had like 5 and they were enough and I even forgot to do what @alpine topaz said and I did it 😄 good luck!
and now... only one last "button" to push for me, but... mmm, dunno, maybe I'll wait a bit longer... I could be of help to travellers in the expedition!
okay... so i was looking at all the expedition quest rewards and none of them give you the terrain manipulator... is that intentional? are we not supposed to have it?
I really want to use the ps4 clock thing to make the frigate expedition mission easier but I'm afraid it might make that debriefing glitch happen again
you can craft it right off the bat
i wasnt able to. no recipie. i just got it from raiding a sentinel tower for some reason. thought i got lucky.
is freighter base the part where u can build?
yes
really? I just had it
Ok so ill need to either ask my friend to start up Community expedition so i can do "Hospitality" or hoping for a player to do it bc i dont feel like "the air we breath" is the last milestone of phase 2 imo
must be glitched
and im also hoping that i can actually enter the freighter in the first place bc 99% of the time the only thing that loads is the freighter base and not the rest
just entering the freighter gives the achievement
Thats the thing most of the time the part that allows me to enter a freighter doesnt load and i only see the freighter base
air we breathe was cake. the one before it was annoying. finding 20 plants to discover.
I am currently doing the "Across infinity"
I got to a settlement and all the NPCs are inside the floors and the walls so I can't interact with them
im just starting phase 3.
Is that an exploit?
exploit? im pretty sure thats a problem...lol.
I mean "The engine of life" is super easy for me since i do that alot when i play normal. do the stuff u get from this also transfer to other saves?
by exploit I mean did the previous owner make them uninteractable on purpose so it can't be stolen
supposedly you can get the expedition awards on other saves. i dont think the unlocks are part of that
The phase rewards are typically what's available on other saves
So i can get the awards on my creative and normal save files?
no idea. this is my first expedition...lol.
The phase rewards, yes. Not the individual milestone rewards, usually. I think there's been one exception to that in all 8 expeditions so far.
thats good to know. bc a few weeks ago or so i asked if the stuff u get from quicksilver also transfers to other save files like some helmets and someone said yes but now idk
Yes, quicksilver purchases should transfer between saves, AFAIK
to recover a broken starship as an achievement for milestone, my most recommended is: if you have nautilon exocraft, you have to install high power sonar with three resources you need: 50 Ferrite Dust, 1 Solar Mirror and 3 Crystal Sulphide. then scan for crashed ship. If you have other starship then fly to closest land that's closest to target, then summon and ride Nautilon to dive closer to target. I already tried planetary chart before but that'll take too long and consume more Navigation Data.
OK anyone else have problems with the first milestone in phase 2 the "Log 2: into the black" my freighter commander still hasn't had a second log
is one of the milestones build a base on a planet or something?
none, just a freighter room
base building used to be included for both blighted and leviathan
and what does "superluminal" mean exactly?
ah, that's singularity engine
So i dont have to do anything with the matter beam?
but that'll be tricky one yet bit simple:
1st is warp hypecore: if you have existing antimatter on hand, also gather storm crystal on extreme planets or planets that has "Activated Copper" labelled, only extreme worlds that has storm crystals are: hot, icy, radioactive and toxic.
2nd is 120 Iodised Cobalt which you can refined after you purchased at least 240 cobalt to be refined via galactic trade
3rd is 3 Crystal Sulphide which is commonly found underwater
any of these three are crucial to build singularity engine to your freighter
ok
Or just save the warp hypercore from Phase 1
yup much better
I did it this way as well. Very easy. The only problem I had is that I partially repaired the launch thrusters then switched back to my other ship, planning to finish repairs later. For some reason the launch thrusters showed as fully repaired when I summoned it again, so I had to do some fiddling to get that half to complete.
you can also just go back to your ship -> freighter -> fly to sapce station ->use portal to go back to freighter -> activate broken ship -> portal back to space station
that will fix all the essential broken tech
PSA: anyone really wanting to install those color star system drives on the freighter they get as rewards, if you dig up some buried caches, 7-8 of them, odds are you get cadmium or emeril from one, nanites from several. enjoy!
I finished it tonight, so much better and easier than the last one 🙂
so close
Now I just have to figure out how not to get lost on my own freighter lol
btw anyone need freighter base visit?
ah we love to see it, people offering hospitality 🙂
I think I did something like that and it did indeed fix the broken tech, which was the problem - it didn't count for the milestone where I need to repair the tech
that gave me the milestone tho
whne it arrives at the station you get it
at least for me
Mine did not, but I got around it, so no big deal 🙂
btw doesnt scrapping ships get you some too?
or are those only activated metals
cant recall
no you can get cadmium from ships
that means scrappign twitch ships might help too XD
also from scrapping some tech on ships
i need it
well hop on to me then
joining
you spawn your freigther after you get it ok?
spawned it
english
unsummon your and ill summon mine
ye
Best way to find a crashed ship?
maps or scanner of the nautilon
you can abort mission and debrief, someone told me that it consisered as "counted"
feels cheap to do it that way
playing on xbox, looking for Hospitality, I'm in R3 system
pop on to me then
@jagged charmnot seeing you in nearby player list
use my friend code
and join my game
@jagged charmthank you. anything I can do that helps you?
this 187 planet is actually really nice and I feel like just wandering around, it's distracting
thats NMS for ya
make sure to get some nice screenshots too
yeah the only annoying part is time doesn't stop in photo mode when others are in the same system (i think that's what causes it)
just disable onlline
One crashed ship with NPC the rest so far abandoned buildings.... What am I doing wrong or am I just on the wrong end of the RNG?
buy 5 maps
cycle through them all so you get all the even from it
there will be 3 emergency beacon
1 is crash freighter
and 2 named the same forgot how
Got 7 shall I just use all 7 then and see what I get...?
but 1 is pilot and 1 is crashed ship
yeah just keep activating them
theres only like 5 scan events
and you can only have 1 of each
Got it... 🙂 Will do - activate on planet or in space?
do it on planet
or you might get events across multi planets
same result
just more flying
well out of 7 I got 2 crashed with NPC's and the rest abandoned buildings
Hallo there everyone! Who can help me out with the “Hospitality” challenge? 😄
Me me raises hand was looking for the same
Much appreciated
What's this invite code? 🤔
Give me a sec.
YN1G-62RF-CE93R
Where's your capital ship?
You also need the challenge ?
Yes
Thanks mate 😁
You too many thanks🤜🏼🤛🏼
Hmm I think I have done. I can on longer play with my friend who is still in expedition. So I've been converted to normal save.
And no base comp still?
You will get a massage asking if you want to convert your exp save to a normal save if you accept you’ll get the plans for the base computer
Yes, this is what I have heard
Oh I've not had that message pop up.
Except not a massage sadly
anyone know why my friend can't join my expedition save now that im done and its a normal save. his is normal too but it makes him start a new expedition when he joins mine
i try join his normal save and it says "community expedition"
Probably because you converted it to a normal save game mode
yeah we both did. they're both normal saves but when we try to join eachother they says commuinity expedition not normal
Ok ok maybe a little bug
bummer
Did you both save and restart after the conversion?
Yeah, when you claim the final reward, it tells you it will convert, then immediately gives you the base computer plans. I did it last night
yup
Yeah as I was accepting converting my exp. I realized I couldn’t help no one anymore with this save. :/
It's definitely possible that it skipped the plans for you, as that bug happens for many rewards at times
do you know how to fix that?
Not other than a save editor, unfortunately, or wait for a possible patch from HG
You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Are save editor just for pc?
Yes
Ok
have done
Unless you do some magic with a PS4 save
I’m on Xbox 😅
If you're on Gamepass, you can get the PC version, crossplay to PC Gamepass version, save edit that, then crossplay back to XBox version and keep the save edits
Oh damm! Good to know 🤩
so im on PC. i can edit my save somehow?
Yes, using either Goatfungus's No Mans Sky Save Editor or NomNom Save Editor
For more details, probably best to go to #nms-modding
how does visibillity of save beacons for other players work again, if I put one near a portal let's say?
They don't see them
not save points mind you. some player's save beacons at rendevous points were showing up for people in the expedition
hmm not willing to convert the save just yet (and it wouldn't help anyways, then the base would be in normal mode)
I've understood that normal bases don't show up for expedition mode players
I do though I just got out, heh
sat down with a bit of a snack, that sort of thing
Pretty sure that's how the bases in the first system were already there when people started.
because if normal mode bases showed on the expedition route, people would go make them all over
I think people save edited the bc in, at least that was my guess
yep
had it ready, upload and bam
yes it does
otherwise how does someone find out the system name ahead of time, go there and make a base anyways?
so it look like you're going to be able to play this weekend?
tsk tsk
Should I conclude this?
naughty interlopers!
Yeah it does
if you do, you will get the prompt to convert to normal mode right away, no option to decline.
if you want to help others for a bit yet, wait; if not, go ahead
I dismantled a shuttle and it gave me indium. any specific reason why?
no but save it, you might use it in the freighter for the indium drive (temporal warp or whatever it's called)
Something in it, an upgrade or tech

okay then!
I know pulse and positron injector upgrades have cadmium. But I've never spotted indium upgrades on ships :/
afaik there aren't upgrades that take indium but you get some random rewards when scrapping
lol I still have this
Indium or Activated Indium?
Base indium
That's strange for sure, don't think I've ever seen that from scrapping
Was it indium, or indium scraps
oh good point, because indium scraps aren't useful except to sell off
There is some weird commodity from scrapping that has indium in the title, no?
yeah that's the one
nice maybe to hand to a new player at the anomaly, gives a little boost without skewing their income
Can you get rewards from previous expeditions?
If you have completed them. Or with a save editor on PC
Some of the pets, people can give you eggs for
ok, thanks! 🙂
Im glad i got the twitch drops because those ships you get can be scrapped for a decent amount of units and i kept one so i didn't have to deal with the bad one i started with
well that's what those drops are for, to make any new save nicer
Do Frigate expedition missions give indium?
yay I only have to recruit 2 frigates and I'll finish the expedition
I can't find out where I got this 170 indium from lol
I think they can, yes
UH, WHERE CAN I RECRUIT MORE FRIGATES IN THE EXPEDITION?
when I take off from a planet I don't pulse right away, I take my time and usually some freighters pop in after a bit, I go over and check them out and when I'm close enough, I see they have recruitable frigates
the same is true leaving the space station
How long did it take for you to complete the expedition?
like 2 days if u cheese just 1 of the milestones
piiiiinnnns
mainly the frigate expeditions
how do you cheese em?
just send and insta abort
pinnnnns
its not an exploit its just poor coding lol
my jellyfish broke to australia lol
they are very wonky when you ride them
I have a video where its paired with a visual glitch
not surprised
what the lol
so basically the 3rd person view is like
🤣
ok this is actually hallarious lol
yeah lmao
its like that on all the pets for me lmao
idk why..
also they electrify thing when they attack them
they stun them like that multitool thing
oh SHIT i just realized i never finished the sentinel expedition so didnt get the sentinel buddy...
please hg bring back any expeditions
wait expedition?
ohh
the quad
lmao it gave 10 gravitino balls once
they dig up really good resources
i never had mine actively digging cuz dunno how tf to make it do it lol
Done lmao
and the pet will follow orders
and go do something
from, killing, getting resources, scanning, pooping, just... going there, and yeah
nice
holy shit thats bright lol
wellp time to mass murder on sentinel kind papa needs nanites lol
now only if i had cargo space lol
if you got freighter space, just get those stacks
and transfer there
you could get another storage container
if you dont have them all already
I should start doing that
fair enough
