nms-expedition

[pine relic]

nothing really, but some people do things like that for fun. :P

[finite rover]

finally completed with 41mil units and 52.5k nanites. :)

and 1k qs ;)

[pine relic]

on my first run I took the time to farm some units too but ended up not needing it lol

[finite rover]

yeah. I just have an annoying habit of fauna collecting. :) I gave up on the last planet, though. rare underground fauna with rare caves.

[vivid ocean]

A fun experience?

[finite rover]

and 1k qs gone on grass. :)

[pine relic]

I wonder if the other two locked cloaks that you can see on the appearance modifier are gonna be QS unlocks too

[finite rover]

what was the freighter expedition called?

[pine relic]

the titan worm one was pricey so I might need to farm quicksilver on a couple of saves to prepare for it...

Polestar, probably.

I think Blighted had some freighter stuff too but its not centered on the freighter

[finite rover]

renaming a save so I know where it came from

[ashen shore]

wnere can i view the rewards for each expidition?

[pine relic]

Quicksilver vendor shows every possible reward and, if you haven't unlocked it, it should list which expedition it came from. Other than that, I have lists of the rewards for this batch of reruns posted somewhere around here if you want me to link to a specific expedition.

[ashen shore]

uh yea im not at console atm, could you link the 8th one? thanks

and the 7th one if you can

[pine relic]

[short sierra]

event starts 4am Eastern or western time?

[lusty slate]

So I gotta heads up from a friend and ||it looks like, on Switch, the cape reward from Blighted has been swapped with a void egg.||

[finite rover]

man. I hope that they do the first 4 at some stage again

[finite rover]

But ||you can't wear a void egg!||

[pine relic]

in about 9 hours.

[short sierra]

Sounds great!

[short sierra]

give me that thor cap or something

[tulip cloak]

I know this is a late reply but not I still haven’t gotten them

[ocean gorge]

Do you still need cakes for the expedition?

[tulip cloak]

Yah

i had to stop playing earlier hence my late reply

[ocean gorge]

That’s ok. I had to go do some lab work anyway

Uh, the only thing is, I’m not sure how exactly to get them to you, since I don’t typically play multiplayer, but I’m on PS5 if that helps.

[tulip cloak]

Anomaly

[ocean gorge]

I’m on but I need to get them out of my cargo box first

[pine relic]

while that could help with the milestone to impress cronus, for the cake milestone you do need to craft it yourself

[tulip cloak]

Add me or I add you and we meet up at the anomaly

[tulip cloak]

I already have that one it’s just I somehow managed to lose all 16 I crafted

[pine relic]

ah, good, carry on then :P

[tulip cloak]

Yah Im big dumb dumb

[ocean gorge]

So for Anomaly, do we just need to be in the same system together for that to work?

[pine relic]

nope

[tulip cloak]

We need to be friends in nms my friend code is on my bio

[ocean gorge]

Ok

[tulip cloak]

At least that’s how I do it with my budd

[ocean gorge]

I have to go to my freighter to get the cakes first

[tulip cloak]

It’s alright

[ocean gorge]

And you said you don’t need to make cakes you did that part, you just need the glittering honey cakes, correct?

[tulip cloak]

Yah

[ocean gorge]

Ok I’m in the anomaly by the nexus

[tulip cloak]

Hold up I think I need to join your group

Can you send me an invite from the friend list

It can be the psn one

It won’t let me join on my expedition save since you already finished it

[ocean gorge]

Oh. Well that sucks😔

[pine relic]

if that doesn't work out, keep in mind that you don't need to use cakes to impress cronus... you could just as easily do meat stew for example

or vegetable stew or whatever really

[ocean gorge]

Yeah I think the cakes thing was just to make it easier for the steps

[tulip cloak]

How I do that one cuz I have like 3 stacks of meat from the doing exploration standing missions

[pine relic]

just any two meats in a nutrient processor, it can even be the same type of meat as long as its in two different slots on the processor

[tulip cloak]

Oh kwool

[pine relic]

just make a bunch and eventually cronus will like one of the stews

[tulip cloak]

I tried with smoked meat but I got some compliments but the milestone never completed so I thought it had to be cake

[pine relic]

smoked meat may be considered an ingredient rather than a cooked food and cronus never gives the highest rating for ingredients

but smoked meat + smoked meat = stew, and I know that stews can work

[ocean gorge]

And even with the glittering honey cakes you don’t always get the highest reward, that’s why it was recommended to have a few on hand

[tulip cloak]

Alright thank y’all for the help

Making some 50 some soups

[pine relic]

that should be enough :P

[tulip cloak]

Hopefully I have bad luck with rng

[pine relic]

we all do. Once I had to spend two days rerolling a freighter until it finally showed up as S

[vital otter]

if you can make steamed vegetables then combine 2 of those into flavoursome sauce and then combine 2 meats into mystery meat stew and then combine those into Herb-crusted Flesh, Cronus loves that, but make a few because of rng

[tulip cloak]

Nvm it only took 2 tries after realizing I was giving him some leftover ingredients

[pine relic]

yep

any stew can work, just gotta at it

[rigid fog]

Just finished exobiology, thanks for all the help and pins

[tulip cloak]

What are the chances this expedition is rerun I kinda missed the deadline for save creation on switch

[pine relic]

unknown, 1-4 had only one rerun so far, so even if it does happen eventually, it may take over a year

[merry coyote]

Damn I'm not going to be home before the expedition is over looks like I'm not going to be able to finish this one

[vital otter]

yeah, just less than 8 hours left now

ask around and someone might have an egg for you if that's what you want

[fervent patrol]

if you need an egg i can get you one rn

im just sitting here

waiting for my taxi to come online

i could get you other eggs if you'd like too

i have sandworm and fiend as well

and other abominations

on my way to get an ice cream looking blob pet rn actually

[tulip cloak]

Does switch have online cuz I already finished it on my ps5 but I never started it on my switch so I could just give it to myself

[fervent patrol]

nah switch dont have crossplay yet

[tulip cloak]

It’s alright I already have the ones I like plus I have the cords for the world spawn ones

[fervent patrol]

ehhhh

suit yourself

i got some real nice ones

[trail bolt]

I finished! First time getting all the way through an expedition. 😅

[muted scarab]

Congrats!

[trail bolt]

Thank you!

[muted scarab]

It's quite a fun journey. Especially seeing everyone around. All on the same pilgrimage of sorts.

[trail bolt]

Exactly. Like a really large scavenger hunt

[pine relic]

And you finished it just in time, too :P

[humble dust]

Umm...I've been attacked by three Abyssal Horrors and the expedition still won't proc :/

[pine relic]

you have to be grabbed by their eyeball beam and then break free by spamming E or console equivalent for the milestone to complete

[languid adder]

The next expedition starts on friday ya?

Just double checking the date...

[humble dust]

Uhhh

Apologies for poor quality

[languid adder]

Ah that isn't the right thing...

There is a specific thing under water that is labeled as an abyssal horror

[humble dust]

Are there two types?

[pine relic]

three actually

[languid adder]

That thing when approached forces the situation that Bliss described... One of the pins if I recall correctly have some places where they spawn

[pine relic]

you're looking for the static eyeball type, not the alluring specimen ones

[languid adder]

Well, I didn't know there were other types. But, yes the static eyeball one triggers it

[pine relic]

@humble dust

[languid adder]

@humble dust

#nms-expedition message

Hopefully this works for ya.

[pine relic]

starts in 6 hours

give or take

[languid adder]

I thought the current one lasted until tomorrow. Strange

[pine relic]

well, the definition of tomorrow in this case depends largely on which timezone you fall under :P

[languid adder]

Ah it's just really early tomorrow for me...

[pine relic]

today is tomorrow for me already

[languid adder]

Yeah I see. It's like 3 am for me when it pops over.

I hate timezones... Will you be assisting people still @pine relic you were a big help for me for this one.

[pine relic]

I don't know if I'll be able to assist, but I do intend to try :P

[languid adder]

[pine relic]

I'll probably do a first mapping things out run as soon as it opens, then do a couple speedruns as things slow down in the channel

[languid adder]

Awesome. I'm likely to play in a couple of days since I have been playing some Disco Elysium lately.

[pine relic]

granted, the first time around my slow run was actually faster than most people...

[languid adder]

Bliss too strong.

What is the next expedition focused on?

[pine relic]

Not particularly, I'm just very used to starting over since I play permadeath exclusively, so the early game is pretty much muscle memory for me lol

Pirates.

Specifically chasing pirate treasure :P

[languid adder]

Ah, I am a big ole coward and don't normally do permadeath outside of roguelikes.

Anyway going slightly off topic for this. Good luck, everyone wrapping up!

[pine relic]

I play most survival type games as permadeath, regardless of it being an actual game mode or not in any particular game... seems kinda weird to me to have infinite respawns and call it survival

but that's just a personal quirk I suppose lol

[languid adder]

I can see that. However, I play NMS as an explorer with survival stuff tacted on. You do you though ya know? Who am I to dictate ya enjoyment.

[pine relic]

Yep, I can see the appeal of that playstyle, tho its not for me... I get bored whenever I get too well established. Thus all the starting over. :P

I think that's one of the things I like about expeditions, it has a clearly defined end point, so I know when to ditch the save lol

[ashen shore]

Is expedition 6 more fun then expedition 5?

[pine relic]

The original run was... less annoying for me personally

I can't say anything for sure about the redux since its not out just yet :P

[ashen shore]

Oh

[pine relic]

a few more hours

[ashen shore]

Well i hope they improved it cuz the last one was really boring

[languid adder]

The Reduxs are supposedly shorter too... So that might help compared to what the original was like.

[pine relic]

6 was pretty short in the original run tho

[languid adder]

Though I can't comment on the experience of the original run myself.

[pine relic]

it may have had some frigate missions to extend it like Polestar did but that's likely to be ditched in the redux

[ashen shore]

It took me like 1 week to finish exobiology so i hope this one is shorter

[languid adder]

👀

[pine relic]

That's probably more about a lack of experience with expedition mode than the expedition itself

[ashen shore]

Yeah

[languid adder]

I had a lot of help from this section and Bliss in particular and got mine done in less than 7 or 8 hours...

[pine relic]

Yeah, my 'blind' run before anything had been posted was like... 6 hours real time, 4 hours played, with the 2 hour difference being mostly me alt-tabbing to discord to answer questions lol

[languid adder]

Geez... 4 hours?

I thought I was quick x.x

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message

[languid adder]

I really want to get to Leviathan though. I've been eyeballing that Frigate since I saw it.

[pine relic]

when I tried to do it quick I managed to finish in 1h30m

[languid adder]

[pine relic]

tho I had two 1h45m - ish runs trying to prove it could be done in an hour and a half lol

[languid adder]

Honestly sounds impossible to me.

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message lol

[ashen shore]

What a bad luck i joined the server while the emergance expedition was on but i didnt sae that that is my favorite expedition 💀

[pine relic]

Have you done any of those in the original runs?

[languid adder]

Hot damn... Right on the money

Nah, I only got NMS when it came to le Switch because it is all I have gaming wise currently. Though I am slowly saving up for a steam deck...

[pine relic]

ah, the switch would be slower regardless since you can't use uploaded bases to skip on travel time

[languid adder]

Actually the bases do show up on the switch...

[ashen shore]

Props to getting a Steam Deck, I got one mostly for NMS and it's a ton of fun

[pine relic]

they do?

I thought the switch version had zero online stuff

[languid adder]

Yup. There is just no player based multiplayer anywhere. But you can see and go to peoples bases

[ashen shore]

I thought they still do get ODS data, just not multiplayer

[languid adder]

And names of discoveries anx such

[pine relic]

if the switch can download uploaded bases then I can't see any reason why it doesn't have quicksilver missions...

[ashen shore]

So they could use other player bases for expeds

[languid adder]

Yeah I don't get that either man. We still don't have capes too... Which is just massively confusing to me

[pine relic]

Well...

I guess one could try to argue that cloth physics are pretty intensive on the gpu front...

but they barely have physics so there's no good excuse for it either lol

[languid adder]

Like there isn't even a section on the customization for it.

I mean I guess... Seems a strange hill to die on

[trail bolt]

Yes! I wasn’t able to play very much, just 30-45 minutes here and there but today I spent 2 hours finishing up the last bit thanks to the walk-throughs and tips

[languid adder]

Good job!

[pine relic]

Well, by this time tomorrow we should have some guides and tips for the next one too :P

[trail bolt]

excellent. I’m off the next two days.

[languid adder]

I might start on Saturday or Sunday. Kinda focused on my Violet / DE at the moment.

[trail bolt]

If I had a switch I’d never get work done 😅

[languid adder]

Gonna get worse on that front once next month rolls around and I can order my Deck...

[pine relic]

If I had to work I'd never get any gaming done :P

[trail bolt]

Fair play

[trail bolt]

Ooh, which one are you getting?

[languid adder]

Speaking of... Might not be the best place for this... If I get NMS on the Deck can I get my switch rewards from these expeditions there?

[pine relic]

I'm not sure actually

My first instinct is nope

[languid adder]

Going the middle ground option. With a decent SSD to add on top.

[trail bolt]

Good choice. Not too pricey and still expandable

[languid adder]

That seems likely to me as well.

But I can dream...

[pine relic]

If you had the rewards on the PC version I'm sure it would transfer via cloud saves

[languid adder]

Hmm...

[ashen shore]

Probably not since we don't have cross save functionality (aside from PC gamepass and Xbox since those are technically the same version and use Xbox cloud)

You could always just save edit the rewards in

[languid adder]

Sad... That seems to make sense to me though...

[ashen shore]

You got them proper way on Switch, you just move them to a new home 😄

[pine relic]

so you could always just use any pc to download the saves, save edit the rewards, and upload it back to the cloud... to get 'em unlocked if you felt like it

[pastel star]

aw.. just realized something must have bugged, i dont have access to the rewards for the expeditions i completed originally

[languid adder]

Hmm...

[ashen shore]

I had that issue, if you can go back to the original expedition saves and redeem the rewards there

[pastel star]

Dont have them unfortunately, Did 1-4 as their original runs, and deleted the saves as the next one came out.. Oh well i guess

[pine relic]

and that would actually unlock 'em properly and permanently to be claimed on the anomaly in every future save, not just like, hacking it in or whatever.

[languid adder]

I'll have to get some help figuring that out next month. But, here's hoping...

[pine relic]

The place for that will be #nms-modding when the time comes :P

[languid adder]

Thanks

[golden condor]

Yo so the next expedition starts as soon as the exobiology one ends? Cuz in the past there was a day break in between expeditions. I mean about the last year redux.

[pine relic]

Looks like it. Tho it may take a couple extra hours, we'll see soon enough.

[golden condor]

Indeed indeed

[tired acorn]

Realistically, could this be completed in 3 and a half hours? Asking for a friend 👉👈 (I've already got my save)

[pine relic]

Which one? Exp 5? My first attempt was 4 hours or so

with the guides in the pinned messages and fully utilizing uploaded bases to cut on travel time, plus no sidetracking, 2 hours is pretty doable

[trail bolt]

See, that’s where I went astray. I got so sidetracked. Even visited the YMCA base a few times today trying to finish the explorer guild stuff. I felt bad killing creatures and only beatbyte disco could soothe me

[pine relic]

Well, there's nothing wrong with getting sidetracked, it only becomes a problem when the deadline is this close

[trail bolt]

[tired acorn]

Yeah exp 5. I've done them all on my PC, just need to grind it out on my switch. I can start in an hour so will try and smash it then. Appreciate the response

[pine relic]

if you're used to the game it should be fine, three of the times I ran this exp were under 2 hours. But its gonna be cutting it pretty close. And of course you'd need the save to already exist, the deadline for creating new expedition saves was two days ago.

[tired acorn]

Appreciate it, thank you

[ashen shore]

So what expeditions are we getting next

[pine relic]

expedition 6, Blighted.

[ashen shore]

Idk but I enjoy the expeditions because of how many players are in the same system. Like sometime I like to go and see what another player is doing.aybe give them a hand. Since I have my Sentinal killer Ship if they are being attacked I'll come in and give Air aupport

[south dune]

the next expedition will be available sometime tomorrow, right?

[pine relic]

yep

supposedly in 4 hours or so, tho I'm expecting it to be more like 6ish

[south dune]

Nice thanks! Is it on the time-consuming side or more like this one?

[pine relic]

If anything it should be quicker. I don't remember much from when it first came out, so it was probably very easy.

[south dune]

Good to hear! Hoping to get it done tomorrow or Friday :)) You gonna speedrun this one too? lol

[vital otter]

it's all about pirates so I expect smuggling to be involved

[pine relic]

Probably, we'll see. I'm gonna do a regular run just to get info for the channel as soon as it opens, and then if I get bored during the week I might try to speedrun it.

[south dune]

Ohh nice! I wouldnt have expected pirates but I do love committing space crime

[south dune]

Awesome! The info in this channel has been so so helpful

[pine relic]

The theme of blighted is finding pirate treasure, if I recall.

So its more pirate hunting than piracy itself. :P

[south dune]

I’m excited for it either way

[vital otter]

ah right, well we'll know for sure in a few hours

[pine relic]

Also I think it came out when they added squadrons so there's probably gonna be a milestone related to that...

[south dune]

Do you happen to know where I can find the expedition rewards for blighted?

[pine relic]

Sure, just a sec.

Expedition 6 - Blighted Rewards:
Phase 1 - Sputtering starship trail
Phase 2 - pirate themed posters
Phase 3 - various flags
Phase 4 - Wayward cube decoration
Phase 5 - Hunter of the Blight title, banner, decal.
Final Reward - Outlaw Cape customization
@south dune

[south dune]

Thanks a ton! New cape

[ashen shore]

Wasn't there a flaming barrel decoration somewhere?

Or was it polestar

[pine relic]

Polestar

#nms-expedition message

[south dune]

Ah yeah. I really liked Polestar

[pine relic]

that's under 'assorted base decoration items' :P

[south dune]

Is the Leviathian living frigate thing functionally the same thing as what you get with the Dream Aerial but free?

[pine relic]

Not quite. It can't be damaged during missions.

And it doesn't have the 'pick your specialty' dialogue

[south dune]

niiice! And another cape from that exp :D! Does the Leviathan have set stats then?

[slate drum]

new expedition will start in 3 hours

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message here's a screenshot of the claim window for it

I think it always had more or less the same stats for me but I don't know if that's account-based or if its the same for everyone

[south dune]

Ah okay thanks!

[pine relic]

Anyway, 6, 7 and 8 each have a cape unlock.

I think at this point its safe to assume that they'll keep including a new cape with each expedition, those seem to be pretty popular rewards :P

[south dune]

Oh I hope so haha, I love capes :D. Polestar was the first one I did and then I got sad I missed the previous one bc I love the concept of space whales and living ships, glad they’re doing re-runs

Fingers crossed they rerun 1-4 * again but it probably won’t happen for a long time if it does

[pine relic]

tho the next two capes that we can see as 'locked' in the appearance modifier are gonna be from the quicksilver vendor

[south dune]

I really need to do more quicksilver missions lol. i’ll hoard every accessory in this game eventually

[pine relic]

someone posted a datamined preview of those, if you're curious

[south dune]

YOOO I’m so down for that! I want more glowy cosmetics thanks for sharin that!

I know they’re subject to change and all but still, those look great

[pine relic]

I doubt they'll change tho, those were included in the 4.0 update as I'm guessing the folks at HG are taking the holidays off for the most part :P

and the expedition reruns work as a nice bit of content filler until they get back lol

[south dune]

Oh I see! As they deserve :)) I dont mind this particular content filler as I missed 3/4 exp’s 🤣 Interested to see what themes the next expeditions will have

[south dune]

Thank you Gunter

[wraith venture]

@pine relic copied from your lists and did a couple of small display edits. ty for helping with these. pinning it too in case it helps for easier reference. plz lmk if any info needs to change.

[pine relic]

Well, that's gonna be easier to link to :P

[south dune]

Huge thanks guys!!!

[sly pond]

@south dune Yes, the Leviathan has the same locked stats for everyone, when it hits 55 expeditions, itll have 96pts across the 4 main stats, and a -9 Fuel Cost trait

[south dune]

Thanks! Good to know :))

[sly pond]

@south dune #nms-legacy-ships message

[south dune]

Awesome, thanks again!! much appreciated

[vernal echo]

So I'm in France, exp ends today, of i start it tonight, should I finish it before midnight? How does it work?

[pine relic]

expedition ends in two and a half hours

doesn't matter where you live. :P

[vernal echo]

Nooooo

So I missed it?...

[pine relic]

Well, you have two and a half hours, assuming you have already started it. You can only start a new expedition save up to 2 days before it ends.

[vernal echo]

Nop, won't be able to do it.

Can you get the exclusive items on PS5 without doing the exp?

[pine relic]

Looks like you missed it then. But #6, Blighted, starts right after it.

Other than save editing, the only way to get the exclusive items is completing the expeditions.

[vernal echo]

Yeah but is save editing possible on PS5?

[wraith venture]

@vernal echo Also, something to keep in mind is, you must start a new save for expeditions at least 48 hours before the expedition event ends. So make sure to create the save in advance even if you don't finish it right away

[pine relic]

No idea.

[pulsar token]

Nope

[indigo falcon]

as soon as I have the new list of milestones and rewards I can adapt my old tips info for a pin in here for the new redux

there's no save editing or mods on the ps5; the only way to get these rewards is either to do the expedition or hope they come to twitch drops or eventually to the quicksilver vendor

(ask hg for it!)

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

You can submit bug reports, suggestions or feedback to Hello Games here: https://hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[pine relic]

Meanwhile, once it starts I'll get right on compiling lists of locations and whatnot for the relevant milestones :P

[south dune]

Hope I can get it done tomorrow they all have a two week time frame right?

[pine relic]

yep

looks like it anyway

[south dune]

It’s a nice amount of time, still like to get it done quickly of course. Will again be heavily relying on everyone’s input here haha

[pine relic]

already finished brewing a pot of coffee so whenever the floodgates open I should be good to go :P

[south dune]

🤣 get that caffeine + some snacks, i bet you’ll have it done in like an hour

[ashen shore]

Wondering if this time Blighted will also take players to a place far away...

[pine relic]

doubt it, I'll be alt-tabbing a lot to write stuff down lol

I assume that milestone will still be there

[south dune]

And then i’ll just slide in and yoink your hard work to save in my notes app

[indigo falcon]

I don't think there will be much in the way of set locations needed, fortunately

[pine relic]

I don't really remember much about the milestones in the original tbh. Colored stars, core warp, add a guy to squadron... that's about it.

[indigo falcon]

Tips for Expedition 6 (The Blighted) Redux

• You start with a personal refiner. This can be used to get you chromatic metal, condensed carbon and so on.
• Make sure you stock up on sodium right away to recharge ship shields.
• You will need a solar mirror and 100 salt for the Nautilon and its scanner; keep your eyes open for these at space stations.
• You will need 7 crystal sulphide for the Nautilon and its scanner; find this from special underwater mineral vents, wait until they spew and then go collect the crystals.
• For the Freighter Blighted milestone, interact with the distress beacon and dig up one cargo pod; nothing else is needed.
• You do not need to repair the freighter Amplified Warp Shielding; make chromatic metal and get cadmium drive blueprints from the Anomaly for the starship instead, for the Red Skies milestone.
• Accept the first free freighter you are offered and talk to the captain to get the first piece of the treasure map.
• You do not get a base computer until Phase 5; use your freighter as a base.
• When a milestone mission leads you to a portal, go through it right then, do not leave to do other things as it can soft lock your progress,
• Start whacking sentinels for the Boundary Failure milestone early on. Sentinel ships do not count towards this.
• To kill pirates for the Galactic Defender milestone, do space station pirate missions, nexus pirate missions, or kill pirates in freighter rescue battles every 3 warps.
• For the Coveted Suns milestone, you may not buy gravitino balls, harvest them from gravitino hosts or be given them. You must steal them; an aggressive sentinel planet works for this.
• Have a living pearl with you, given by the Submerged milestone, when you go to do the Sunken Antiquities milestone.

leaving that there for later revision, in case milestones change.

[pine relic]

oh right, it had a few underwater milestones as well

[indigo falcon]

yep. oh I knew I forgot one tip. well I'll add it later ("have a living pearl with you, given from the Submerged milestone, when you go to do the Sunken Antiquities milestone)

hm locations: an outlaw system, an aggro sentinel world, red/green/blue star if not on the route, and how to find sentinel pillars, those will all be faqs I guess

[pine relic]

since you need to kill sentinels anyway it might just be more efficient to get a pillar marked by murdering 5 waves

[indigo falcon]

maybe, but some folks won't want to do that, they'll farm waves 1-2 and want the map by other means

[pine relic]

if the stars align it might even be done on the gravitino world to skip the first couple waves

[indigo falcon]

that would be nice

[wraith junco]

Is blight exp the one where you get solar ship from the start?

[indigo falcon]

yes

[wraith junco]

Cool thanks. Last time when i did it game gave me cool solar ship. Didnt found same on my normal save since then

[indigo falcon]

wonder if you'll get the same one this time

[wraith junco]

Probably not

Would be intresting if i would get it

[pine relic]

I dunno, my personal experience seems to contradict some of the information I've seen around here. Like, your starting cosmetics being determined by your accounts name... during my 4 runs of exobiology redux I had 3 different starting appearances (anomaly, korvax, vykeen) and the starting pet was different all 4 times...

[indigo falcon]

starting seeds are a bit weird with expeditions. I always get the same character; other players get the same ship name... who knows how that works

yep, it's just weird, heh

[pine relic]

interestingly, the two runs I did back-to-back were both vykeen and the ship was the same. I didn't notice the ship on the other two lol

[indigo falcon]

well 8 expeditions, all with the same traveller char with the same coloring and suit. but others don't get that at all

[pine relic]

actually even my spawn coordinates were the same on both runs

[indigo falcon]

ok now that is amazing

[pine relic]

yep, that helped shave some time off the second run, which was the one where I managed to get 1h30m lol

[indigo falcon]

sweet!

if you're willing to use player bases, you can probably cut a little more time off too

[pine relic]

oh I used bases extensively on those last runs, much faster than flying to distant planets

I'd quit to menu and load back in to clear the teleporter list to only show things in system to make it easier/faster to search for bases at the planet I wanted to go to

[indigo falcon]

makes sense, as least if your platform has resaonable load times

that's one nice thing about the ps5, load times are pretty good

[pine relic]

PC here running on two SSDs, one has the save files, the other has the game itself lol

[indigo falcon]

sweeeeet!

[pine relic]

so loading times tend to be pretty reasonable for me

[indigo falcon]

what did we ever do before ssds

[pine relic]

I've seen footage of console players with 20 seconds+ on the black loading screen...

The 'flying thru space' initial loading takes a little while for me tho

[indigo falcon]

that's a one time deal upon starting the game though, not so bad

[pine relic]

I wonder if switching from one expedition to the other will require an update

[indigo falcon]

one already went around

4.08

[pine relic]

must have been pretty small, I didn't even notice it downloading

[hollow shore]

Should not be required, all done server side

[indigo falcon]

it was tiny indeed

[tired acorn]

So annoyed.. did everything except the exploration guild one...

Ugh

15 mins not long enough

[median ember]

Blighted started?!

[pine relic]

go to a bunch of korvax systems and grab as many 'kill sentinels' and 'kill creatures' as you need to finish, 15 minutes should be enough time to get a couple done... if sentinels, grab a secure site map from the station to get to sentinels quickly

[indigo falcon]

feed creatures missions also work

[pine relic]

just stack as many as you need then you only need to kill / turn in once to get it all done

[tired acorn]

Thanks all I'm rushing

Doubt I'll get it done..

Didn't even think of doing those things

[pine relic]

summoning the anomaly and using it to teleport to the station may be faster than travelling by ship depending on distance, when going back to turn in the missions

[tired acorn]

Fell short. Damn. Thank you everyone for your help today. Especially @pine relic

[magic marsh]

I gave away honey cakes in the anomaly after I finished

Felt good helping everyone

[neat latch]

same milestones by the looks of it

less things to kill when relevant but otherwise pretty similar

[indigo falcon]

how many sentinels, how many pirates?

I'll update that in my notes right now

[pine relic]

16 for sentinels, pirates and grav balls

[indigo falcon]

awesome ty

[pine relic]

starter system grav balls

[vital otter]

Oh this is fun

[indigo falcon]

sweet

getting some movement upgrades might be helpful before that, and oh yeah, no nanites for rendezvous points on this expd

[pine relic]

no need, just finished it by sprinting, it gives scatter blaster stuff as a reward, which is useful for sentinel killing - most ships in starter station sell pugneum to build it

[neat latch]

Milestone 3 reward (one of it) 888 cadmium. Solves the red star issues.

[pine relic]

Luxury. You can get free cadmium by dismantling c class pulse drive mods

[indigo falcon]

I remember not being able to outrun those suckers with 0 upgrades but that was pre 4.0, maybe with the movement buff it's better now

[neat latch]

Yeah, but it takes what like freeing a freighter…

Have to do it anyway ! 😅

[indigo falcon]

or don't get cadmium, install the starship drive. only need chrom metal

[pine relic]

I just ran in a line from grav spot to grav spot, then a semi-circle back to ship... doing a single melee boost correctly means the sents never catch up to you

[indigo falcon]

oh, you're using the boost, I virtually never do that. might be the added speed from that which gets the job done

[pine relic]

I assume the idea was to skip straight to green stars to get indium drive installed :P

[indigo falcon]

(yes you're looking at a player that avoids melee boost, that's right)

[indigo falcon]

I bet it was to fix the freighter drive which is NOT what players ought to do imo

[pine relic]

well, its the route I took lol

[haughty forge]

Ahoy there, mateys!

[bitter plover]

Do I have to accept the freighter you get for defeating the pirates?

[pine relic]

you should, that's how you get the first map piece

[bitter plover]

I have already got the map... Just accepted - Got the Milestone for it

[indigo falcon]

on the original run we saw issues with some players not taking the first free freighter, so I recommend you do

better safe than sorry

[bitter plover]

Got the freighter and the milestone after so I think you need the freighter

[neat latch]

LOL! what luck... XD

[slate drum]

pov: me waiting for storm end

[indigo falcon]

you need the freighter if you want a base, that's for sure

[pine relic]

anyway, while the rv milestones may not give nanites, the RGB system ones do

[indigo falcon]

yes, that's new for one of them, and increased for another

looks like people are getting random C fighters

coulda sworn they got solars, ah well

[pine relic]

mine's a fighter

which I'm ok with

[vital otter]

there were 3 fighters in my location, mines a c class

the other 2 belonged to other players

too tired to do more tonight

[indigo falcon]

it will still be there when you wake up, waiting for you!

[vital otter]

yeah, I've repaired some stuff but fighting pirates can wait until tomorrow

[pine relic]

is anyone keeping track of RV coords this time around?

[indigo falcon]

yes, there will be a list going up soon

[bitter plover]

🙂 Cool...

[ashen shore]

Is expedition 6 longer than 5?

[indigo falcon]

it should be a little shorter, that was my experience on the original run

[ashen shore]

Oh

[pine relic]

might need to make a note that people should dig up one of the crashed freighters containers to get map #2, if you haven't yet

[indigo falcon]

does the game not give them that hint?

[pine relic]

Just the usual 'salvage materials' thing that every freighter does, I think.

[indigo falcon]

hm ok I'll add it then

[pine relic]

I dunno if digging up all containers whenever landing at a crashed freighter is as automatic for everyone else as it is for me lol

[indigo falcon]

added my old note for that from tips, heh

[bitter plover]

Nanites - How to get quickly...?

[indigo falcon]

a couple milestones give them: Red Skies, Emerald Dreams, Blue Expanse

otherwise, hit up damaged machinery, extract nanites from those devices you find in buildings/shelters, check every blue/yellow cube and black disc on tables/desks in space stations including back room, hit up any distress beacons

another milestone gives you many but it's much further on in the expd.

[bitter plover]

Well I only need 80 for the cadmium drive for the Red Skies...

[indigo falcon]

that's not too many, a few damaged machinery and you should be done

[pine relic]

sell the A and B underwater modules, you only need the S :P

[neat latch]

Oof! After dooming everything possible to get enough stuffs! Phase one finally complete (last jump remaining). 🥺👉👈

[indigo falcon]

1/5 of the way, go go go 🙂

[bitter plover]

Hven't got any underwater modules

[neat latch]

Yup! Just gotta jump to red star

[pine relic]

oh, you need to dive 60u for those, I suppose not everyone took the opportunity to get nautilon materials on the starter planet lol

[indigo falcon]

a reminder that people should check the pins in here regularly for usefl tips and soon also for the list of all rendezvous systems.

[neat latch]

There we go!

done... onto the next one :3

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo!

[pine relic]

rv2

[pine relic]

note: rv3 station (gasertan) has solar mirror in the back room trade terminal

[naive prism]

so, today go time for the next one?

or did it already start?

[indigo falcon]

how about salt? or I guess when someone picks up the crystal sulphide they can get that as well

[pine relic]

started already

[naive prism]

ow nice

[pine relic]

I got that from starter planet, didn't even notice in stations

I'll do a pass once I'm done to see if any carries it

[indigo falcon]

sweet

[pine relic]

or chlorine, I suppose

[indigo falcon]

eh why make people do extra work 😛

[haughty forge]

I frickin love the beginning of this one

[neat latch]

RV 2, monolith if anyone wants it

[bitter plover]

Where is RV1?

[pine relic]

rv3

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

#nms-expedition message

we'll have a list up in here a little later today of all of them

[pine relic]

rv4

[leaden fable]

I love how they spawn me in the worst SPOT

[pine relic]

I spawned underwater... which turned out to be handy lol

[indigo falcon]

underwater?

[pine relic]

yep

[indigo falcon]

that was a q to Mi

if you're way the heck away from any land, that can be a huge drag for sure, but yu shouldn't be, your ship has to be somewhere around

[leaden fable]

I spawned in a radiation planet with like no oxygen around

So I just restarted

[pine relic]

if its expedition mode, everyone starts on the same planet

[indigo falcon]

you'll be on the same planet every time

[pine relic]

rv4 planet if doing the map there...

and RV5, tho that's automatic

[indigo falcon]

forgot to ask what galaxy everything is in!

oh also: I recall there being no tech damage for the intergalactic traveller milestone, would be nice to verify that

[pine relic]

I'll confirm both things once I'm done murdering sentinels at rv5 + pillar

[indigo falcon]

have a good time!

[stark root]

How do you get a warp hypercore? Doesn't seem like anyone is having issues getting one? I may have to restart...

[ashen shore]

i so meant to get started hours ago,

[indigo falcon]

what do you want one for? @stark root

[tranquil thistle]

new expedition! less go

[pine relic]

nothing quite like fighting two sentinel walkers in a storm

[ashen shore]

Anyone wanting to group up?

[pine relic]

rv5 pillar, 20 seconds away from RV5 itself

[indigo falcon]

very handy

[ashen shore]

I’ll be on like all day

[indigo falcon]

oh ho ho, different ones this time

[ashen shore]

I didn’t even notice the stars outside the Euclid

[stark root]

To repair the freighter...either that, or how do i get the cadmium drive for my ship to reach a red star system? I don't have enough nanites to purchase the blueprint from the anomaly

[indigo falcon]

you don't need to repair it, get the staarship drive instead

go find a few damaged machinery and collect some nanites

[pine relic]

or dive a little for some free aquatic mods that you're not gonna use, to sell for 500 or so nanites

[indigo falcon]

#98

[pine relic]

can we do the core warp faq here? I have a feeling that's gonna need a pin...

[pine relic]

this is still correct

[indigo falcon]

even with that we will get a lot of people stuck, be ready

[ashen shore]

so wait, why do we need to core warp?

[pine relic]

I can only troubleshoot it on pc. Saying 'do not click anything, just swing your mouse around like a maniac' usually does the job

[ashen shore]

on Pc for mouse its fucked LOL

[indigo falcon]

don't worry about it, just play the expedition

if you need it, it will become obvious

[ashen shore]

well now i am, telling me not to worry about it, and it being posted in here, what arent you telling me?

[pine relic]

just need to do some ratting and it'll be finished

handy that nexus had it covered lol

[remote thunder]

"ratting" ?

sorry 😅

[pine relic]

killing pirates :P

[remote thunder]

ah!

freaking starter planet didn't have any buried caches 😦

lol

[remote thunder]

the kind of UI mechanic that once you do it once and understand how you did it, you will never think it's difficult again

[ashen shore]

right, i thouht exp5 was crazy cuz it was the first one ive finished in years lol

[indigo falcon]

none? really??

[remote thunder]

i searched around 2 different locations, about a 1000u radius on each one - didn't see a single one

ended up getting some from the swamp biome next to the station, like 200u from where i landed

[indigo falcon]

what a mess!

[pine relic]

what did you need caches for?

[ashen shore]

my game is broke, i search for a red star system using lifeform filter, and not getting Red Skies mission

[pine relic]

red lifeform = vykeen, not red star.

[ashen shore]

ohh LOL

[ashen shore]

got it 😄

[remote thunder]

@pine relic any void egg reward?

[ashen shore]

thank you

[pine relic]

yes

[remote thunder]

emeril, indium drive mats before i even leave the starter system

[pine relic]

@remote thunder

[indigo falcon]

you do have to go to red/green/blue stars so you could get the materials along the way of course

[pine relic]

I did it slightly out of order until I got a red midway to some RV... I had green and blue first

[remote thunder]

interestingly enough - this time i grabbed c metal from a buried cache, built my hyperdrive, claimed the x999 cadmium reward, unlocked indium drive, installed emeril drive, now i just need to get emeril elsewhere

[ashen shore]

its so hard to play with my cat wanting attention

[pine relic]

Finished in 2h 25m :P

Felt significantly easier than Exobiology...

[fringe agate]

That ain't nms

[ashen shore]

oh to be censored..thank you

[pine relic]

@indigo falcon I'll grab lunch real quick and then go back to check for salt on RV stations

[indigo falcon]

awesome!

[pine relic]

anything else I should be on the lookout for?

[fringe agate]

#off-topic-bond-james-bond #1033694005915041863

[ashen shore]

thank you

[indigo falcon]

drawing a blank right now

[ashen shore]

Finally home bout to start this thing

[indigo falcon]

go go go!

[ashen shore]

Wait does everyone start off underwater

[ashen shore]

i didnt

[indigo falcon]

no, location is a random spawn not more thatn 1.5k units from your ship most likely, and ship will be at a POI

[ashen shore]

and i am playing on handed cuz my cat i needs love lol

[hazy cypress]

Lol that's how I started exobiology. Underwater and on a frozen planet. Had seconds left on my health before I got to my ship

[ashen shore]

Omg I love this Tron Styleusiv at the beginning of the expedition,

Lol there's like 6 starships all in one spot and all of use arrived roughly at the same.time

[indigo falcon]

don't forget to check your multiplayer settings

pvp off, etc etc

[ashen shore]

thanks for reminding me lol

[leaden fable]

I’m stuck on red skies n liberation Oml

[indigo falcon]

check pins in here for useful tips

[leaden fable]

?

What does that mean

[ashen shore]

Lol as soon as I arrived 4 other players came.in right after... We all were like ok who ship is the one stuck inside the building

[ashen shore]

galxy map, look art the codem you want k or M

sorry one handed typing cat sleeping in other arm lol

[pine relic]

click on a system on the star map, compare the letter (highlighted in red in the picture) with the list in the white box there. Red systems will be K or M.

[leaden fable]

I’m still confused

[hoary rover]

For those who are colorblind or can't tell the color of the system

[pine relic]

are you having trouble with that milestone for some other reason?

[leaden fable]

Just the rescuing n I guess buying the interstellar

It’s whatever for now I got off

[hoary rover]

What does the milestone require?

[indigo falcon]

going to a red star system

the game may try to tell you to repair the freighter hyperdrive upgrade for this, it's easier to buy the cadmium drive for the starship though

[pine relic]

might as well skip to emeril drive since it can also go to red star systems, and you'll have cadmium already from one of the milestones.

[indigo falcon]

whatever works for folks

[lusty slate]

I won't be able to start until after I get home from work. Can someone confirm how much QS we get from this one?

[pine relic]

I didn't notice, but it gives a free void egg.

[hoary rover]

8,888 i believe

[lusty slate]

Nice, thanks! Yeah, I already knew about the void egg. It was visible through the QS vendor before it started.

[indigo falcon]

I just see 888 listed, lemme check again

[pine relic]

yep, 888.

[lusty slate]

Ah, well. I can still get one of the Vy'keen armor pieces for that.

[indigo falcon]

run it a couple times and get two pieces, one on each save 😄

[pine relic]

or all of them if you cheese it

[lusty slate]

Noted.

[pine relic]

it is kinda cheaty but since switch is severely limited in QS gains, might as well just spend and reload... :P

alternatively, with a bit of patience (and paying VERY close attention to the Space Anomaly mission) you can get an additional 1950 qs from that, if I counted correctly, and that would put you at 2800ish plus a free egg...

[craggy echo]

I guess I should make a start on the expo…

[lusty slate]

I already did the Artemis path on main. I didn't get the full amount, I wound up with 1500.

[pine relic]

yeah, you have to manually check with every step you take in the artemis path

[craggy echo]

Any dos and donts before I start this expo?

[indigo falcon]

see the pins

[pine relic]

using a made up, non-spoilery example, if it told you to mine 100 carbon and then go to a trading post, you should check before mining the carbon, then after mining the carbon, and then after getting to the trading post... and if at any point it says to talk to nada, do that before anything else :P

[indigo falcon]

turn off pvp and etc once you start

that's it.

[bitter plover]

Right I jumped into a red system to get the reward and I did so and now I'm on a planet with mostly water and no launch fuel and nothing to make launch fuel or warp fuel... 😦 Any ideas?? Anyone wanna meet me and give me some stuff???

[pine relic]

every planet contains the materials needed to make both of those things, but it may take a while to find the stuff on foot...

@lusty slate oh, I just noticed, you get an additional 1800 qs for the final reward from the expedition, together with the cape, putting it at 2688

[craggy echo]

Is this expo fairly linear or are there some things I should be doing early to help with later achievements?

[indigo falcon]

check the pins

[pine relic]

I found it helpful to collect the materials for nautilon stuff on the first planet, which also may likely give you the milestone for diving. Keep at least 7 sulphide, 100-200 salt and a living pearl stashed as that'll be needed in a later phase.

[indigo falcon]

start killing pirates early, same with sentinels

keep your eyes open for solar mirror, salt, at trade terminals

get crystal sulphide early

all this is in the pins tho

[pine relic]

did you compile the rendezvous info in a decently readable format yet? I don't know how to do the whole pretty columns thing.

[ashen shore]

exp 5 was horrid for me LOL on that part

[bitter plover]

If I start again will it effect what I already have?? re milestones

[ashen shore]

you have to start again to even start the exp/

[pine relic]

only in the sense that you'll have no milestones completed whatsoever

[indigo falcon]

a restart means you start over, fresh save, as though you never did the partial run

[pine relic]

if any account-based unlocks were achieved, you still keep those, but only in the quicksilver vendor, not in the expedition milestone list.

[bitter plover]

Fuck it - I'm gonna start again... I have already got Phase 1 rewards though

[ashen shore]

i need an conflict scanner, my inventory slot keeps on blanking for it, but i dont own one, wtf?

[fringe agate]

Gonna shuffle some pins, since discord can't be bothered to let me drag and drop

!faq-expglyphs

Oh the horror

Blocked here

[broken solar]

How do I know which expedition is running at present?

[pine relic]

#6, blighted.

that's how

[broken solar]

Is there a way to see this in game?

[ashen shore]

its at the top of discord

[pine relic]

sure, start a new save and it'll show you which expedition is currently running, if any.

[indigo falcon]

there will be another pin comng up once Bliss has a location or too scounted out for milestone help

[bitter plover]

Quick question - Do I need to land to get the Red Skies? That's what I was landing for and couldn't launch...

[pine relic]

nope

[indigo falcon]

should pop once you warp in iirc

[pine relic]

Should pin that core warp faq while at it...

[pine relic]

what was I scouting for again?

other than salt

[indigo falcon]

umm

[pine relic]

if I recall there was a pillar location in rv5...

not sure if that made it into the tips already

[indigo falcon]

can't remember, lol. aggro sentinels you have, pillar near r5 point you have, can't remember what else

[pine relic]

solar mirror?

[indigo falcon]

ah yeah

[ashen shore]

i guess ill repeat

[indigo falcon]

these are all good things for a 'locations for getting milestones done' post

or something like that

[pine relic]

oh and the grav ball planet in starter system I guess

[indigo falcon]

yep

[ashen shore]

my inventory slot is flashing for an conflict scanner, but i dont own one?

[pine relic]

but I think that can all be folded into your big tips post

[indigo falcon]

well

it could but then that makes that post really really long

having the location based stuf fin a separate post makes sense to me

[fringe agate]

stuffing

[indigo falcon]

sage, bread crumbs, gravy,...

[cobalt shore]

Hey what's the amount of Quicksilver we get this time?

[indigo falcon]

no gravy in nms. only weird batter things

1800 from the final reward apparently, 888 from a milestone

[pine relic]

2688 total + a free void egg

[ashen shore]

my inventory slot is flashing for an conflict scanner, but i dont own one?

[pine relic]

starting system has chlorine on the main trading terminal :P

[indigo falcon]

meh it's probably pinned for some reason, just unpin it

[indigo falcon]

ok but I'm still holding out for salt 😛

[cobalt shore]

Ooooh that's worth it! I'm going to be playing this Expedition again 😁 I'll probably not finish it this weekend because I'm quite busy but hey, we have two weeks!

[remote thunder]

probably because of the reach outlaw system milestone

[indigo falcon]

and this one goes pretty quickly compared to others

[ashen shore]

yes! but why is is flashing tho?

[indigo falcon]

to trick you into getting a walker brain to install it

don't fall for it

[pine relic]

because the tip for that particular milestone is 'install a conflict scanner'

[cobalt shore]

I'll probably get started this Saturday

[indigo falcon]

economy scanner works just fine

[runic shore]

trying to find a decent starter freighter

[remote thunder]

any will do

[runic shore]

i know

[pine relic]

any freighter is better than no freighter

[ashen shore]

but i dont have it?

[runic shore]

but im going for looks lol

i have a starter style i like XD im aiming for it

[pine relic]

you don't need to have it in order to get a tip that tells you to install it

[runic shore]

oh i know XD im just being picky atm im using an Anomaly detecter to locate a black hole

next jump is freighter so might as well try lol

[indigo falcon]

make sure you've been to a space station locally first

[runic shore]

XD yeah all taken care of

[pine relic]

Note to self: First rendezvous system - solar mirror, uranium. :P

[runic shore]

i competely forgot about uranium

but i dont need it XD

[ashen shore]

okay so without the conflict scanner, i can not find a priate system, so now what?

[remote thunder]

install eco scanner

[runic shore]

23% less and 10% boost x3 on ship

[ashen shore]

what scanner, i have no scanners to install?

[pine relic]

install an economy scanner instead. Both can find it.

[remote thunder]

space anomaly

[ashen shore]

so buy it?

[remote thunder]

the hint that mentioned "conflict scanner" also mentioned Hyperion

[pine relic]

yes, its just 150 nanites, 300 with the pre-requisite of the teleport module.

[dusty sapphire]

No base computer this expedition?

[pine relic]

rv3 has salt in the main terminal, solar mirror in the back room.

[ashen shore]

there we go 😄

so easy to forget stuff on here lol

[pine relic]

you get it from the second to last milestone in phase 5, as mentioned in the pinned tips.

[dusty sapphire]

🤮

[indigo falcon]

so Bliss... care to make a post with all this good stuff in it, to be pinned? 😍

[ashen shore]

omfg i love how this game is swear 101010101010 to just read stuff LOL

can not find a pirate controlled place anywhere.

[remote thunder]

galaxy map, lifeform filter, ignore white stars

search systems close to you

branch out further as you eliminate systems

[pine relic]

Handy locations guide:
• The starter system, Eibeyt-Guyun IV, has a planet with aggressive sentinels, Osusiss XVII, for quickly doing the Phase 2 milestone "Coveted Suns" - collecting 16 gravitino balls.
• At the third rendezvous system, Gasertan, visit the space station to buy 100 salt in the main trade terminal and a Solar Mirror from the back room terminal for constructing the Nautilon Geobay for the phase 3 milestone "Submerged". The back room also has Uranium for recharging launch thrusters, always handy to have.
• After reaching the fifth rendezvous point (which will happen automatically) head to coordinates +68.26, -69.53 (20 seconds away by ship, on the same planet) to find a Sentinel Pillar for the Phase 4 milestone, "Counterfire".
• For the Lawless Sky milestone in Phase 2, the outlaw Korvax system (blue when filtering by lifeforms) Otando XV can be found 57LY from the first rendezvous system Hijinaq, and 63LY from the third rendezvous system Gasertan, roughly between the two. Reference picture: #nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

sweet!

[pine relic]

gonna scout nearby systems to the rv points for RGB stars / pirate systems, hopefully I can find some easy to pinpoint ones... if I find any I'll edit the above.

[ashen shore]

i finally got it after like 3 warps. lol i needs to eat, i knew i should of, i am the hulk when hungry

wait, ffs, that was for phase 5

welp now im way off course again. ill be back on later, this game isnt worth the stress

[indigo falcon]

don't stress, enjoy it. come back later when you've had a break

[ashen shore]

right i try to. stuff gets confusing when yhe game always changes missions on you, your you be working on Phase 2 and get something for phase 5..thinking ohh i got it.. LOL

[indigo falcon]

this game does that sometimes

[indigo falcon]

going to sign off very early today, splitting headache, hope everyone has a fun time on the expedition and I'll see folks tomorrow!

[ashen shore]

Feel better

[pine relic]

I guess that should be about it for location stuff...

[ashen shore]

Where can i find storm crystal near the first R?

[pine relic]

Pretty much everywhere, just wait for a storm.

[ashen shore]

Wow i thought you need a spesific planet

Thx for the help

[pine relic]

first rendezvous is the specific planet.

[pine relic]

At the first rendezvous planet:

[opaque crest]

Hey so I have the outlaw cape, but no recollection of doing this expedition. Is there any way I could have it without doing the expedition? I'd like to clarify that it is totally possible I just forgot I did it

[pine relic]

Its not out of the realm of possibility that it might have unlocked for you due to a bug, but under normal circumstances the only legitimate source for it is the expedition.

[opaque crest]

Thank you, probably just forgot, I appreciate it

[pine relic]

if you also have the other expedition rewards, you probably just forgot :P

For reference, the list of rewards for the redux expeditions is in the pins: #nms-expedition message

[opaque crest]

Yeah I haven't had the chance to check the rest of the rewards yet, I just know I've got the cape for sure. These expeditions really are just 5 1/2 hour time slips lmao

[pine relic]

For me it may have been quite a bit less than 5 hours, I knew I had done the expedition but I barely had any recollection of the actual milestones... finished the redux in about 2, lol.

[opaque crest]

Haven't messed with too many Reduxed expeditions, I missed the last year window for them, but I do appreciate the simpler milestones, makes playing catch up not so bad

[pastel star]

whoever sabotaged my ship was drunk.. left it parked 6 feet in the air

[bitter plover]

Are the gravitino balls needed for other milestones???

[pine relic]

Nope, but the cash from selling 'em came in handy for me.

[bitter plover]

That's what I was going to do... Just making sure I wasn't making life harder for myself... 🙂

[pine relic]

Also, was it you that had trouble finding a pirate system? I put up a reference picture of one so you can find it without any scanner if you're so inclined.

[bitter plover]

Wasn't me - But it will come in handy I'm sure... 🙂

[safe fog]

Dumb Pirates wrecked my ship!

Imma get them back!

[untold tartan]

Steal all there ferrite and carbon

[safe fog]

They're all carbon after I burn their base and ships anyways.

This seems like a fun Expedition.

[pine relic]

One has to wonder when the pirates will learn that having red starship trails makes 'em really easy to spot in a crowd.

[safe fog]

I started the game on Leviathan so this is fun.

[ashen shore]

okay so now, trying to find that priate controlled system, hmmmm?

[pine relic]

Ah, it was you. Last bullet point here: #nms-expedition message, no scanner needed.

[untold tartan]

Who knows dude

[ashen shore]

to late, i bought it. still cant find where i need to go

[untold tartan]

Isn’t it your favorite when your starship decide it’s not wanting to land because the landing area is not clear even though you’ve been going halfway cross of planet just spamming the landing button

[pine relic]

sounds like that infested rendezvous planet

[ashen shore]

ive noticed shipcombat under settings fix that.soemtimes

if you have space cops on you.

[pine relic]

the one spot where my ship decided it was ok to land at, was right by a nest...

Yep. Six hours ago or so.

[coral phoenix]

Ah then time to start as well.

Thanks Blish.

[ashen shore]

Why is it so hard to find a group to play with on here?

[trail iron]

Mostly due to people being at different stages and/or different goals/at different times?

[untold tartan]

Death worm

That’s where my ship landed

[ashen shore]

could be, ive been asking people since the last exp, its like no one wants to play with me LOL

im so tired of this game, of course my settlement has to be ona shitty planet with extrexe heat damage, like TF how you suppose to do this

[pine relic]

that's why I only answer the comms for starting settlements when I'm at a non-annoying planet

tho it doesn't really matter for the expedition, and you can always just grab a chart to find a more suitable settlement later on if you want to keep that save

[ashen shore]

i never keep them, its what pisses me off so much, they got the fucking game tieing into exp/story

makes no since

[pine relic]

if you're not keeping the save then just ignore the settlement, its neither necessary nor helpful to any part of the expedition

[ashen shore]

that should be a major issue, i am noticing same problems from the ealier EXp, that i never completed cuz everything is out of whack

game telling you to do this settlement, when its not EVEN apart of the event LOL

i still cant find a Pirate controlled system LOL

[pine relic]

• For the Lawless Sky milestone in Phase 2, the outlaw Korvax system (blue when filtering by lifeforms) Otando XV can be found 57LY from the first rendezvous system Hijinaq, and 63LY from the third rendezvous system Gasertan, roughly between the two. Reference picture: #nms-expedition message

[ashen shore]

samething from the last exp. game has all the heck the place, and no idea where i am or how to even get back.

[pine relic]

use a space station teleporter to teleport to one of the two systems I mentioned. The space station name always starts with the system name.

[bitter plover]

How do you get a space station to come up on your list? Just visit it?

[pine relic]

yep, its automatically added to your teleporter list whenever you land at it.

[finite ether]

If I started the expedition last week, can I continue to play it past its end date?

[bitter plover]

Cool - This time if I find a red sys I'll find one with a space station - Got any ideas anyone?

[pine relic]

when doing expeditions one should always make sure to land at the station of every rendezvous point for this reason

[bitter plover]

Nope - 5 is over now we are on 6...

[finite ether]

😭 aight thanks

[pine relic]

no, it will automatically convert to a normal mode save next time its loaded, so the entire 'expedition' tab with the milestones will be gone.

[ashen shore]

right so this is what i see, with 100101010101011000111001

[pine relic]

bottom right is hijinaq, which is one of the systems I mentioned as reference.

yes, its unlocked in phase 5, second-to-last milestone, and used in the last milestone.

[gloomy raven]

hurray for Twitch ships to trade in my busted up ugly AF little ship

[ashen shore]

oh holy hell, i was looking for that otanto system, not findinng it this large galaxy map about to yell at it, and to do not nice things to it. then i find it lolol

[pine relic]

there you go

[ashen shore]

now for Gravitono balls

[gloomy raven]

now for nanites for knowledge

[ashen shore]

still at Otando, can i get the graivitono balls from here, or do i have to trravel somewhere else to find it?

[pine relic]

I didn't check, the starting system had them so I grabbed those there.

[ashen shore]

fml

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message

alternatively, just scan planets from space and see if any has aggressive sentinels, which indicates that the planet has gravitino balls.

[ashen shore]

cant use that

[pine relic]

then ignore the gravitino balls until you get to rendezvous 5, that planet also has gravitino.

[coral phoenix]

How can I get free freighter?

[pulsar token]

Expedition good?

[pine relic]

after the first warp a freighter will be under attack, kill all the pirates to rescue it, answer the comms, land on the freighter, talk to the captain a couple times, accept the freighter when offered.

[coral phoenix]

Ah thank you. ^^

[gloomy raven]

what's a good way to get nanites in the starter system?

[pine relic]

depends on how many you need. I got enough for the ship hyperdrive upgrades by diving in the starting planet looking for crystal sulphide and such (you'll need to set aside 7). Diving under 60u completes a milestone that rewards 3 underwater protection modules, install the S and sell the A and B. :P

[coral phoenix]

What is this btw? Someone threw it to me, should I use it or destroy, dunno if it is relevant to expedition 6.

[gloomy raven]

cool, thanks

[pine relic]

Use it to get a free random tech that you can install. Its not necessary for the expedition, and since it is a random tech it may or may not turn out to be useful.

[coral phoenix]

Well actually it was useful. I got launcher thruster recharger.

[pine relic]

there you go

[pastel star]

ok, being able to sell tech is awesome.. got two from the sentinels who... fell over... while i was grabbing the gravitinos. easy 1k nanites 😄

[mortal hawk]

Any advice on getting a Warp Hypercore early on, or do I just have to suck it up and buy the blueprint at the Space Anomaly?

[ashen shore]

Killing NPCs

No seriously, they can drop it

Buying the blueprint won't give you much, you will still need to find Storm Crystals to craft it

[pine relic]

I made it thru the entire expedition with no problems using just regular warp cells, but if you want to do hypercores, first rendezvous planet is full of storm crystals.

[mortal hawk]

It's not warp fuel that's the problem, but I need a Hypercore to get the red star upgrade for my freighter

[pine relic]

one of the other milestones rewards a prebuilt one, I think, tho I don't remember which, but you don't need to fix the freighter despite what the milestone says - just use the regular ship warp upgrades instead to get to RGB systems.

[mortal hawk]

Well that's silly

[pine relic]

its in the pinned tips I believe :P

I guess the one I found might have come from the crashed freighter cargo crates, but either way, I finished the entire thing without fixing the freighter warp tech. :P

[ashen shore]

idk im done with this game for today.

[coral phoenix]

Do I need gravitino balls in later phases or can I just safely sell them?

[pine relic]

you can sell

[coral phoenix]

Aight ty.

[pine relic]

assuming you're done with the milestone to gather 16, anyway.

[ashen shore]

just dont fuck up like i did, and now i cant get them

[pine relic]

just keep doing other milestones and when you get teleported to rendezvous 5, get some there. No need to fret.

[mortal hawk]

Yes it is! Just not at the top 😛

[ashen shore]

man idk im done for the day, this constent jumping around to finish onme thing turns into another

[coral phoenix]

Oh yeah I already gathered 16 and killed sentinels while I'm at it. Ez.

[pastel star]

thats ok, take a day, take two. got two weeks to get it done 🙂

[pine relic]

Yep, its nuts how a game about space exploration assumes that one would, gasp, explore space. :P

[ashen shore]

LOL right

[pine relic]

anyway, there's ample time to finish it, so no harm in taking breaks as needed. Just make a note not to forget it for two weeks and it'll be fine :P

[ashen shore]

right, thats what i am doing, ive finished phase 1 and most of 2, but see i am highly OCD, so when things arent in order..i HULK out.

[pine relic]

But I get it. While I don't have actual OCD, I do have certain organization quirks. Like taking extensive notes about systems I visit, particularly early in the game...

[pastel star]

aw.. pirate fool has an exotic, and i cant steal it hehe

[pine relic]

If its from a freighter rescue event I think its possible to force it to land, there should be a faq about it somewhere that can be checked in #bot-spam

I believe its !Faq-ExoticFarm

never used that method personally so I'm not too sure about the particulars @pastel star

[pastel star]

oh it was landed, i was just broke

[pulsar token]

What you can do is shoot the pirate then bait him to land in the space station

[candid panther]

wow just found a royal mt

[ashen shore]

i still need to do that

luckly my settlment is on a high sentinel

[candid panther]

60.15, -77.29

[young sparrow]

Anyone got a screenshot of the quests for the expedition?

[pine relic]

like the milestones?

[young sparrow]

Yes

[pine relic]

I think the closest thing I have is a screenshot of the overview from when I finished it: #nms-expedition message

[young sparrow]

Doesn’t help much

I might be able to google it

[pine relic]

they're all easy tho. Just use the pinned tips, they should cover everything you need to know in advance:
#nms-expedition message
#nms-expedition message

and also the one with the rendezvous coordinates.

[young sparrow]

I found a guide. Thanks

👍

[pulsar token]

Somehow I have done more of phase 4 than phase 1

this is fine

[pine relic]

sounds normal

[pastel star]

i just fell through my freighter

think someone parked on top of me

[pine relic]

lol

[pastel star]

i do like the update to the freighters though, thats neat

OMG!!! Theres an elevator now???

[trail bolt]

Question for those who might know. Can you team up with someone who is running the expedition at the same time?

[pine relic]

sure, why not? as long as both people are on an expedition save, there should be no problems. Just make sure that if one finishes first, they don't claim the final reward which will automatically trigger a conversion to a normal mode save, making it impossible to continue playing together.

[gloomy raven]

let's break my expedition by trading in my freighter... what could go wrong with this?

[pine relic]

nothing, after getting the first map piece you don't need the freighter for anything.

[trail bolt]

I figured you would know. Thanks buddy!

[ashen shore]

This game just gave me the biggest F u.. had a walker killed it but I went to get the walker brain and it said inventory full afterwards I had to chase a Sentinal down but the timer ran out so missed out on the Sentinal tower, and went back no walker brain.

[pine relic]

did you open all the sentinel glass already? you could find a boundary map from one. Alternatively, I have coordinates for a sentinel pillar super close to the rendezvous 5 location posted here: #nms-expedition message

[ashen shore]

oh this game, it'll tell me what i need to build the underwater chamber, but how much of each i need. ffs

[ashen shore]

on phase 3, for the Sunk Antiquites, is there a certain planet i need to be on?

[coral phoenix]

To complete "get a multi tool from sentinel pillar" objective. Do I need to deactivate the sentinel pillar?
Which @pine relic you wrote the one in pins.

[pine relic]

yeah but you don't need to kill all five waves of sentinels (if you already finished the one for killing 16 sentinels). You can just shoot the three pillar security node thingies and then interact with the terminal to disable sentinels and claim the MT.

[coral phoenix]

I guess due nexus mission I couldn't interact terminal.

And minotaur sentinel robot literlaly wrecked me.

[pine relic]

any planet with sufficiently deep water. Just use the nautilon scanner to scan for sunken ruins, use the marked thing in the ruin to interact with it, which gives you a key, and then use the key and a living pearl to open one of the buried treasure chests under the ruin.

[coral phoenix]

Salvaged Frigate Modules I got from objective reward, do I need to spend those for chromatic warp shielding in freighter ( to unlock green stellar systems )?

[pine relic]

only if you want to warp with the freighter. I finished the entire expedition warping just with my ship, didn't unlock anything with the salvaged modules, nor fixed the broken tech in the freighter.

[coral phoenix]

Alright, then I guess I need to install required warp gate modules in my ship to teleport there.

[pine relic]

the milestone for red systems is misleading. It tells you to fix the freighter but it actually gives you some X modules for the ship hyperdrive. So I just used the ship to warp everywhere and ignored the freighter. The milestone completes whenever you reach a red star system, no matter how you got there.

[coral phoenix]

Alright ty for info.

[oblique wharf]

How do I get the cadmium drive? Trying to get to red system

[ashen shore]

im not finding these sunken ruins. i have ran out of gas looking for it LOL

[bitter vine]

unlocked from anomaly normally, don't know if there is some milestone to unlock it

[pine relic]

for regular ship, buy it from anomaly (80 nanites, costs chromatic metal to build). If you have enough nanites, might as well buy the emeril and indium too. One of the milestones rewards you with a bunch of cadmium, which you can use to install the emeril drive skipping the cadmium one, and it also allows you to travel to red systems. Each of the hyperdrive star color upgrades also works to let you warp to the ones below it. So cadmium lets you go to red and yellow. Emeril lets you go to yellow, red and green. And indium lets you go anywhere saving two tech slots. :P

[pine relic]

did you use the scanner with the quick menu to scan specifically for a sunken ruin?

not by pressing c

[ashen shore]

lmfao noo.. i been using C

lmfao

[pine relic]

well, there's your problem. :P

[ashen shore]

LOL

[bitter vine]

you can also get cadmium by purchasing cheap c-class starship modules, installing them, and then dismantling them

[oblique wharf]

Okay thank you

[pine relic]

that too but you get like 800+ cadmium from one of the first milestones, so there's no need.

[bitter vine]

ah, kk

[pulsar token]

This expedition feels really short

[pine relic]

it was pretty quick, but that was expected since the original run for it was very short too

I think the original I finished in like 3 hours, 4 tops.

[leaden fable]

I’m skipping red star n liberation my brain hurts too much

[pulsar token]

Those are the easy ones though

[pine relic]

if you need help figuring out any milestone let us know :P

[ashen shore]

okay so i got fuel found place, but i didnt get anything

so lost lol

If i already done the expedition b4 what do i get for doing it again?

[fringe agate]

Satisfaction

[pastel star]

i decided to hard mode my liberation, instead of just saving the freighter, i decided to run into it, which upset the sentinels, which upset the AI pilots, and the pirates

[ashen shore]

I dont need to do it again?

[pine relic]

just the non-account-wide rewards from the milestones themselves. You can still do it for fun but with all rewards already unlocked, you get no additional benefits from it.

[ashen shore]

I heard they changed the reward

Oh

[pine relic]

Not the account-based ones.

[ashen shore]

Ohh okei

[pine relic]

just the rewards that only work for the save itself

[ashen shore]

Icic

Thank u

[pine relic]

there's quite a bit of quicksilver and a void egg, but that's only really interesting for switch players.

other platforms can just do daily / weekly quicksilver missions

[ashen shore]

How much quiksilver

[leaden fable]

So for the red star do I have to have a freighter ?

[pulsar token]

Where does one get crystal sulphide from again?

[pine relic]

2688 total, plus a void egg.

[pine relic]

Nope.

[ashen shore]

Wait REAL

[pine relic]

Around those underwater spewing vent things.

[leaden fable]

Then my things bugged

[ashen shore]

i got it from the planet i am on currently

I might do it just for quiksilver lmao

[pulsar token]

thx

[leaden fable]

I’m at a red star system n I’m on its planets

[ashen shore]

So I need the gravitino balls for anything after I collect all 16

[pine relic]

you need to have a hyperdrive upgrade that lets you go to red stars installed in your ship to do it without a freighter, which you can buy from the anomaly.

[leaden fable]

Which one is that ?

[pine relic]

Cadmium Drive / Emeril Drive / Indium Drive. Indium by itself lets you go to every star color. If the milestone didn't trigger, you may not be at an actual red star system, the galaxy map colors can be misleading. Checking in your discovery page, the symbol next to the system name will match the star color (yellow, red, green, blue).

[ashen shore]

@pine relic do I need the Gravitino balls for anything else after I collect them

[pine relic]

nope, its safe to sell

[ashen shore]

@pine relic thank you

[leaden fable]

Yeh that’s what I’m confused about

I don’t understand the symbols n stuff

[pine relic]

Ok, want some visual aid to help? :P

[leaden fable]

Sure

[fierce aspen]

Ok, I'm just starting out, how do I get the terrain manipulator early? Can't mine metals without it, which means I can't leave the system to look for a freighter for Phase 1, Task 3.

[pine relic]

In the discovery page, you can see to the left of the names that the middle circle (representing the star) is colored. Top one is red, middle one is green, bottom is yellow.

[pine relic]

you start knowing the recipe for it

[ashen shore]

why is this being so hard to find, do i need to search more than 2 suken buildings?

[pine relic]

Its not sunken buildings, its underwater ruins. Right-most thing in the quick menu scanner options.

[leaden fable]

I went to like 2 n got nothing

[fierce aspen]

oof, didnt think to look there. Thank you, and sorry.

[ashen shore]

that is not there

i press X, highpowdered sonar, options are scan for drowneed starships,crashed frigther, sunken building and submergeed ruins

[pine relic]

ruins.

[leaden fable]

This game is so confusing

[pine relic]

you're filtering by lifeform, which recolors the star color in the galaxy map to match the dominant race, rather than its actual star color.

[pulsar token]

Imma finish this one tonight

[pine relic]

press up / down d-pad until the filter is set to 'no filter' @leaden fable

[leaden fable]

Got it

I feel dumb Oml

[pine relic]

Was that the problem? :P

[leaden fable]

Yes

[pine relic]

I mean, the filter, not the dumbness.

At least it was a simple fix lol

[leaden fable]

Now I just need rescue interstellar

[pine relic]

the one to save a freighter?

[leaden fable]

Yeh

[pine relic]

weird... you completed 'a freighter blighted' but not 'liberation' ?

[leaden fable]

I didn’t complete the blighted

[pulsar token]

And done

[pine relic]

oh, alright. Well... the very first time you warped, there was a freighter being attacked which you should have rescued by killing the pirates, and then landed on it to talk to the captain

I guess if you didn't it should keep popping up periodically after you warp to a non-empty system, when it does, do that - kill pirates, answer comms, land on marked freighter, talk to captain a couple times, and accept the freighter when offered. That will complete it. @leaden fable

[boreal violet]

Easy way to get a storm crystal?
