nms-expedition

[indigo falcon]

yes though I would claim all the rewards on another save first just to be sure

[median ember]

Install cadmium drive and get to R1...its extremely toxic planet... And you will find lots of storm crystal nearby...that will give you warp hyper ore...and solves your warp fuel problem

I was stuck here too

WTF....WHY THIS STUPID TITAN BUG ALWAYS LANDS OVER ME...DANG IT

[indigo falcon]

if you dismantle the broken freighter red star drive tech, it gives you a hypercore as well

[hot tangle]

ive been flying forever and cant reach the 3rd rendezvous

im afraid im lost 🥶

[indigo falcon]

did you wander off the route at some point perhaps? otherwise I would suggest going back to the space station for r2

it's in the pins (system name = space station name)

[hot tangle]

ah alright thank you

I will go check

[indigo falcon]

also make sure tht milestone is pinned when you set out

and you choose current mission in the galactic map

[hot tangle]

I do, Ive been following the expedition line I might have gone off mission so I guess I will reset to the 2nd rendezvous

[indigo falcon]

cool

[median ember]

I personally like hyoercore cos it has one less step than warp cell

Also...i hate this titan bug

GRAH

[pine relic]

it has one additional step in the expedition tho, which is buying the blueprint.

[median ember]

Yeah well thats one time

And i had enough nanites...i left starter planet after making some prep

2000 nanites and 3m umits

And first thing i did is buy myself a Solar

ROBIAN PLANET
Mould farm ...can be made here...natural barricade for nanite farm

Ummmm...EYE...OR BALL.. 🤔

[misty parrot]

How do I go about fixing the warp drive in the freighter?

need a warp hypercore

[hazy cypress]

See the pins. Don't bother if you want to just complete the expedition.

Just goto the anamoly and buy the plans for the ship

[misty parrot]

Ah cheers I havent got the Anomoly yet, and didnt scroll far enough down the pinned

[median ember]

What do I do with all these balls.... gravitino balls

Ummmm anyone

@indigo falcon

[ashen shore]

Each ball is like 30u its a nice units making method

[indigo falcon]

sell sell sell

nice units early on, fund basic purchases like salt, pugneum, uranium, pyrite

[median ember]

I got 10m already

🙄

Oh well...oops

I accidentally blew 3 pods on the Freighter I was supposed to save

😅

Time to run

[plain kettle]

I've done that too many times to count....the darn pirates like to hug the freighters....I finally stopped attacking them until they move away, just to avoid hitting it.

[indigo falcon]

three more warps and you'll get another chance though 😄

[median ember]

It was after i had saved it....
They called for backup to save themselves from me....
I accidentally fired rockets and blew 3 pods at once...poor pirates only had managed to blow one

😅

Oh well.... I managed to get to R3

This one is a bit tricky.....i can see so far...

There are lots of hidden items you need to get moving

Like it asks you get to red star but doesn't tell you that you can use your ship...then now it said go to green....i took up and installed indium drive....

Now i can go anywhere

[indigo falcon]

there you go

we try to put that info in the pins to help players not get trapped by bad game advice

the other thing is, don't by the conflict scanner, the game will tell you about walker brains and all that, just get the economy scanner to get to an outlaw system

[glass stump]

@pine relic - Thanks for the instructions on how to warp to the galactic core. It made that part easy.

[glass stump]

Wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the information

[pine relic]

happy to help

[finite owl]

Would anyone be willing to hang out in VC to give advice on clearing the Expedition?

[indigo falcon]

there are a number of useful pins in here which you should read, they might help you get through it more smoothly

[fleet hollow]

what are you needing help with?

[finite owl]

The loneliness

[fleet hollow]

oooh

[cinder fulcrum]

Im needing a walkers brain.....do i have to poke sentinels until they drop one? XD

[fleet hollow]

you can actually complete the expedition without that that upgrade. just upgrade your ship instead of freighter.

sorry, that's not a freighter module, but still, i completed it without using that scanner

[cinder ingot]

what the hell is R2 bro

is it really the grave

[patent canyon]

Yep.

[fierce aspen]

Sooooo.... I'm back again. I did end up getting the trident key for the Sunken Antiquities task. NOW what I'm running into is there has been a base here, yesterday I could dig for the chest but didnt have the key. Now that I have a key, I get an message that I dont have edit permission to use terrain manipulator. So can't dig for the only chest left. Even turning Multiplayer off doesnt change it.

Can I use some kind of chart to look for another ruin? Or maybe go to another system and get a sealed chest?

[fierce aspen]

Nvm, can use the naution sonar. Still looking for another ruin plus trying to get the 60u deep task

[ashen shore]

Is the Outlaw Cape not available on Nintendo Switch?

[native bloom]

I don't think capes are at all

@ashen shore

[ashen shore]

I think you're right...

[balmy junco]

how do u start an expedition? and what exactly is it?

[native bloom]

You start expedition with a new save. It's a series of tasks that give rewards, some of which are claimable cross-save

[balmy junco]

oh thats pretty sick, is it time exclusive? cuz i dont see anything in the menu

[native bloom]

Yes, time exclusive

[balmy junco]

I dont see any new buttons for blighted

[native bloom]

Top right on the menu selection screen I believe

[balmy junco]

ohh i see now thanks

<:expedition:950228868080467978> **Expedition Tips**

(run bot commands in #bot-spam)

• Game Mode Explained: Expeditions are an alternate time-limited, season-like game mode with a set of challenges rewarding exclusive items that can be claimed in any and all of your saves, in any game mode account-wide. When you finish the expedition you may convert your save to a pre-determined game mode -- most expeditions convert to Normal, with the exception of Expedition 7 which converted to Survival. At the end of the event, the game forces the conversion.

• ⚠️ You are required to start your save at least 48 hours before the event ends. Give yourself ample time for completing an expedition.

• Save often: Manual save with starship (by getting out) or save beacons/points.

• Save before claiming a reward, in case the reward glitches. Save after receiving the reward, in case the game crashes after.

• Don't hoard stuff early on. Exosuit storage is not abundant when you start out. Before you can upgrade storage, only keep items for active quests or what you need for survival (e.g., oxygen or life support gel, sodium or sodium nitrate for hazard protection). Sell or discard everything else. Hover over loot you come across, the item card says what you can use it for.

Double check before getting rid of items received from milestones, as they may be useful for other milestone requirements.

• Update Multiplayer configurations: Disable PvP and Base permissions to reduce potential headaches, like being griefed by other players. If you experience glitches, especially in heavily populated areas, including the Space Anomaly or warping with your freighter, disable Multiplayer and reload your save. See multiplayer visual guide »

• For more expedition tips, see Pins in #nms-expedition.

• For gameplay or technical questions, also check #nms-questions.

• Bug Reports: Type !HelloGames for HG Helpdesk links, including the bug report form.

~~What the name of R5 system? ~~- Rendezvous 5 System: Kesmante

[ionic igloo]

You can simply Terrain-manipulate yourself to 60u in the water. At least IT worked for me.

[fierce aspen]

Thank you. I got it done. 👍

[indigo falcon]

report the base via the quick menu and it will disappear for you so you can get your business done.

[fierce aspen]

oh, good to know! I ended up going to another planet.

[median ember]

I did that without using economy scanner...there is pirate system next to starter system...korvax race

[indigo falcon]

yep we put some info about outlaw systems in the pins too

[median ember]

Pins pins

[finite rover]

I demand needles!

[finite owl]

Would anyone be willing to give me moral support in VC while I finish the Expedition?

[finite owl]

I will be in the server VC, would appreciate it a lot of someone can join

[fringe agate]

I can't, but Good luck you can do it

[finite rover]

yeah. same. 1:30am. I should be unconscious but fear not. the expedition is very doable.

[fleet hollow]

you can do it, i finished it in 10 hours. it's not a very difficult one.

[finite rover]

took me 18 but I mucked around A LOT.

(hadda find ALL the fauna)

[fleet hollow]

i messed around some, too.

[finite owl]

The 60U Milestone can be completed on the starter planet with digging straight down with a Terrain Manipulator while underwater

[finite owl]

Do I need Gravitino balls for anything other than the milestone?

[indigo falcon]

hilarious!

[indigo falcon]

nope, sell and get them units

[finite owl]

Got it

[median ember]

What to do in submerged relic

I used sonar for underwater ruin...it gave me trident key...now what

Anyone here?

🥺

[pastel star]

should be a chest nearby

[glass stump]

There should also be another buried treasure chest that you need the key to unlock

[median ember]

How to find that

[glass stump]

With the scanner/visor as you found the key

[median ember]

Got it...

It was below me

[glass stump]

I am 99.27% complete with this expedition. All I have left is to claim Phase 5 and Phase 6. I just noticed that I have two Void eggs, both say active. Is that correct? Can you have two eggs at the same time?

[glass stump]

Congradulations!

[median ember]

WTH...is this STUPID 🐟

[glass stump]

Need more keys? They are close by.

[median ember]

Nah m fine...

Killed it...

And i am okay with one treasure

[glass stump]

Iirc

[median ember]

😑

[median ember]

Dang it i need a map for sentinal pillar ..uffff

[pastel star]

theres a pinned location for a pillar on RV5

[median ember]

WTFFF....NOBODY TOLD ME THERE ARE METEOR STRRMS....

[pastel star]

Hey btw... those hurt if they hit you

[glass stump]

I haven't seen many and don't think I have been hit by one .. ... ... yet.

[pastel star]

havent been hit either, just heard the aftermath from a few others lol

[median ember]

Oh it hit me hard ....

😭

Almost died....had to run for cover

I got a experimental from sentinal pillar

[ebon leaf]

Yo

What exped8t8ons next?

[pastel star]

7. Leviathan wasnt it?

[ebon leaf]

What's leviathan like

[pastel star]

personally no idea, i only did 1-4 originally

[neat latch]

You’ll love it or straight up hate it.

[ebon leaf]

I need apergos the pin king

[ebon leaf]

Need more detail

Is it like blighted

[neat latch]

It is that one expedition some of us are curiously waiting for 👀

Because of the game mode it puts us in

[ebon leaf]

So vague for no reason

It's perma death is all I know

Which isn't too bad like

[neat latch]

Permadeath is what I am talking about, yes.

But the expedition itself is also very interesting 😄

[ebon leaf]

DMn thats concerning

[dull dagger]

It can end your night on NMS really fast, but even so, it's so much fun. Still, not sure if I want to run it again.

[ebon leaf]

I haven't died so far in all my hours of playing

So I'm not to worried about that

It's the fact he said the expedition itself is very interesting

[median ember]

Don't worry leviathan will change that

[steady shore]

is it still blighted#

[ebon leaf]

Yes

[modern canyon]

Leviathan's kind of permadeath, but kind of not. It's weird. Interesting! But weird.

[ebon leaf]

Can I just get a straight answer

[humble dust]

If you complete a redux, do you double up the rewards if you previously completed the expedition's original run?

[wraith junco]

No

[wispy token]

At least one planet I found had meteor storms as a weather hazard. You could gather from the fallen meteors, but I can't remember what I got.

[humble dust]

Ayyy I can go back to grinding Darktide for the next two then

[fierce aspen]

I decided to do the 'Sentinel Pillar at RV5. When I portaled to RV5, I got attacked by sentinels, is this supposed to happen? Or am I carrying something in my inventory triggering it?

[fierce aspen]

To be on safe side I reloaded and sentinels were gone. I put some triggering items on freighter.

[median ember]

Wait...we are NOT in Euclid... whaaaa

We in #98th galaxy

[fleet hollow]

yep, i didn't realize it until i finished the last step and left the galaxy

[rocky cosmos]

How long does this expedition take to complete? Would I be able to get it done with the time left or is it a lost cause at this point?

[fleet hollow]

you have plenty of time. you should be able to get it done quickly. i did it in under 11 hours, and i wasn't really trying too hard.

[rocky cosmos]

Awesome

[fleet hollow]

much easier than the one we just finished

i am helping my daughter get hers done, she hates fighting pirates

[fierce aspen]

FINALLY, got expedition done. Thanks to everyone here that helped out! This community is amazing!

[median ember]

It i recruit someone can i remove em later after milestone is completed

🤔

[fleet hollow]

you mean squad members? yes, you can remove them like you do frigates from your freighter command.

[median ember]

👍

Got an S class person...not sure if its good 🤔

I am not able to core jump?

My hyperdrive is charged

[indigo falcon]

check and double check the instructions

if you don't get everything just right, it won't let you do the warp, most finickyui ever

[median ember]

Get to the system thats nearest to core...done..
Hyperdrive fully charged...yes...
Sheild full yes...
Pulse drive full..yes....

Now what

[indigo falcon]

don't go t ofree select, make sure the system is selected as it shows, that there is a single line leading from it off the screen

once you get that, you move the cursor along the line towards the edge of teh screen, you have to hold it, it will not go all the way

hold, wait, wait, wait

[fleet hollow]

do you have the next task in your expedition log selected? it should show you where to go.

[median ember]

What now?

Is this a bug?

[indigo falcon]

wait!

[median ember]

🙄

Wait?!

[indigo falcon]

you did the thing of draggging the cursor, there was a little progress circle that finally completed, now you see that last screen? then you wait

[median ember]

Okay...you mean...point it like that...so it looks like this...then PRESS F to set way point....so it shows one line to core...THEN LONG PRESS.....JUMP

Am i correct...

[indigo falcon]

I don't know about which keys. I am on console

I can tell you the actions but not keys

[median ember]

Next galaxy is hipnacav

[indigo falcon]

you made it?

I don't know the PC controls, but yes, that sounds right

Hicanpaav

Galaxy 99

[indigo falcon]

well done!

[median ember]

FUCK GAME CRASHED

😭

[indigo falcon]

let's see where the save was from

[median ember]

I had created a restore point just before jumping

[indigo falcon]

maybe there will be an autosave from after

[median ember]

Nope...

It crashed mid animation

Yay

[indigo falcon]

you made it! woo hoo

[median ember]

My ship took a harder fall it seems

😆

Its name is FINAL SONG

[indigo falcon]

lolol

[median ember]

I need to put a base computer down thats it right?

[indigo falcon]

bc plus some parts

the game will tell you how many

like 12, 16, not too many

[median ember]

Will do it tommorow

M almost done anyways

[indigo falcon]

okey dokey. just don't forget to finish up!

[median ember]

No i will keep this save...coz i found a settlement in a nice location...i put my bc just outside it's perimeter...and power spot is 400u away from my location...so.... bit far but something i can manage

Mine and gas are also nearby

[indigo falcon]

sweet!

[median ember]

99 is a lush galaxy after all...

[indigo falcon]

sure is!

[clever wren]

Hello everyone, just managed to get my first freighter. But it' s in a distant galaxy, I want to continue to progress my milestones. Is it possible to take it with me on the expeditions galaxies ?

[indigo falcon]

in a distant panetary system?

you can summon it into any yellow star system with no fuel cost

[clever wren]

it's distant 😦

[indigo falcon]

doesn't matter

if you are in a yellow star system right now and it's your freighter, you can summon it in with the summoning submenu of the quick menu

[clever wren]

how can I know if the system is a yellow star one ?

[clever wren]

Thank you ! I will try

[indigo falcon]

look at discovery tab, the screen showing all the planets

the system you are in will be selected at left

it will have a circle with the color, left of the system name

[clever wren]

Ohhhhh I see!!

[indigo falcon]

to call to other star systems you need special freighter tech, so just do without there for now

[clever wren]

Awesome, it worked!! Thank you again

[indigo falcon]

sure thing!

[ebon leaf]

APERGOS

What's up with leviathan

[indigo falcon]

what do you mean, "what's up with it"?

if you are wanting to know exactly how the redux will work, I don't have an inside line on that, I'll know when we all know. definitely interested to see how they work things with the shorter timeline

[ebon leaf]

What's gonna be it's gimmick, how's it different from blighted, think it will be difficult, eyc

[indigo falcon]

ok well

the story is different, the milestones are different, it is in a hybrid of survival and permadeath (most but not all progress is lost when you die, other settings are like survival mode including small stack sizes in inventory)

the story is quite unique and affects the gameplay so I don't want to spoil that if you've not played it

have a read of the notes on the original run, bear in mind that although the rewards will be the same, the playthrough may differ somewhat due to the compressed timeframe https://www.nomanssky.com/2022/05/expedition-seven-leviathan/

[serene kettle]

Can you switch it to normal, instead of Permadeath?

[indigo falcon]

no, the minimum diffivulty settings will be fixed at survival with the weird semi-perma thing as extra outside of the settings, I expect

[ebon leaf]

Do you need to go off planet

[sleek spade]

What are the expedition rewards

Did my galay map bugged? Should it contain the path for the third planet to go ? (I'm on expedition filter)

in my log it says to search for a red solar system, can it be any system?

[tulip jolt]

Any red one, yes.

[clever wren]

ohhh thanks, I thought my galaxy map would be marked for me to follow

[wet lake]

Just wanted to pop in and comment on how much fun I've been having doing the expeditions. I've only been playing since Aug 2022 and this is the most fun I have had playing the game. It feels more alive when there are places popping up left and right. I'm assuming civilized space is the same?

[slender hamlet]

when is 7

[wraith venture]

Dec 22, when 6 ends. Can run !ExpTime for specific times or check pins

[wraith venture]

See above

Make sure to start the save before Dec 20

[slender hamlet]

ty!

[wet lake]

Question about the 22nd. Are milestones for E6 unobtainable after that date?

[wraith venture]

Expedition milestones/phases can't be completed after the 22nd, correct. Once the event ends, the game will force you to convert your save to Normal mode.

[wet lake]

Thank you. A week should be a reasonable amount of time for me to finish.

[static willow]

Yeah, there are lots of places where communities have set up that are very vibrant and full of players

[wraith venture]

Totes magotes! I hope you enjoy it

[wet lake]

Loving it! Makes the game so much more enjoyable when I can visit a variety of places in the same system. I'll have to find my way there with my main save. It would be nice to have access to resources. What's the fastest and easiest way to get to civilization? Assuming I have one in mind that I would like to check out.

[static willow]

Check out #nmscord-hub when you have time / are done with the current expedition!

Portals mostly

[wet lake]

Will do. Thank you!

[ebon leaf]

I read it, I don't understand how they'd make it like that genre

[exotic fiber]

Im worried about the milestone for having to kill sentinels. Will it happen through some scripted event that's easier than a normal sentient fight, or do I have to just go out into the wild, find a sentinel, attack it, and then win all the rounds of a full sentinel battle?
Because on my normal save I have a fully-upgraded combat-specialized S-class multitool and I used to be able to win the sentinel battles but for some reason in the last couple months I keep dying over & over every time I try. And my multitool on the expedition is a child's toy by comparison to that save.

[tulip jolt]

It's find a sentinel, kill it. You can run away and do that the required number of times, or face out the waves. Your choice.

I did the coward route. LOL I killed one, took off running until they calmed down, did it again, etc.

[short sierra]

finished expedition! Can't understand the core Idea or how to get back to the core?

When you get to another galaxy does it keep you close to the core or do you have to go find the center of the galaxy again?

[exotic fiber]

I'm thinking I might start a settlement. From my experience in my main save, the sentinel fights there are frequent but easy as pie. The sentienls barely fight back and don't bring on the harder waves.

[short sierra]

Huh? Why are you in expedition talking about multi tool and sentinals? Scatter blaster and getting S class scatter blaster modules are easy to kill. Stand in side settlement door and blast out at sentinals.

[exotic fiber]

there's an expedition milestone for killing sentinels, that's why

[short sierra]

that was super easy dig a whole and hide pop out and kill more sentinels.

[exotic fiber]

I'm not a very good "tactical fighter". What comes easy to you might not come easy to others.

Anyway, this is awkward. My quest to bring me to a settlement brought me to another player's already-claimed settlement. Therefore I cannot complete the quest. And there's no way for me to restart the quest.

And I have a feeling it would take a really really really long time for me to hunt down an unclaimed settlement in the general expedition area of the galaxy, given how highly populated it is.

I may have no choice but to do Ronin's "shoot and run" method

[short sierra]

The last mission just fly to another area and create a settlement end of Game. Also make sure you claimed the ability to create a new settlement.

Create the settlement and expand it by building floor around area it should finish last mission END OF EXPEDTION

[exotic fiber]

I'm confused are you talking about a SETTLEMENT or a BASE?

[royal slate]

heya! quick q, wondering if you could get away with an expedition after the ending times given by disconnecting from the internet and changing your device's time

ive personally already finished the expedition, but if you started the save and dont have time, i dont see why this wouldnt work

might be worth checking out and telling people? sure, glitching is rather frowned upon, but so is missing out on your job to play videogames
some dont have an option

[exotic fiber]

Also new question: How do I find a sentinel pillar (for the Counterfire milestone) without having to complete the final wave of a whole sentinel battle? Because as I explained already (although XGamer doesn't seem to understand), I suck too much at Sentinel fights and die most of the time even with better equpment than I have in this expedition.
I thought I could just buy a map to a pillar from the vendor on a space station, since I've done that in my other save, but I guess that was only doable because my other save was made before the big update changed difficulty levels. The vendor now doesn't sell that type of map.

[royal slate]

you can follow coordinates

there's some pinned in this chat

[exotic fiber]

WHAT coords

oh

lemme check

[royal slate]

+68.26 -69.53

[exotic fiber]

ok i see now

[royal slate]

write those down somewhere

[exotic fiber]

i'll try that next time. for now i need a break.

[royal slate]

and make sure you go positive/negative and not any other way like i did... spent like half an hour flying around lost

if you do it right it should be really quick and really easy

[median ember]

I cleared two full waves.. dint die at all... I love pummelling them

That archive is nice fighting spot

Duck and weave

[exotic fiber]

oh I should have updated, just for the killing sentinels milestone, i made it work fighting 2 waves then running & hiding before the 3rd wave (with the dogs) came. Still need 1 more kill but I can do that when i get to the pillar.

[median ember]

I suggest you do that when you at archive...reason...lots of hiding spot

At sentinal pillar you will be in open...so unless you got some nice equipment...it gonna be really tough fight

[exotic fiber]

not really. at the pillar i can ignore the sentinels and just destroy the 3 structures then go to the console and deactivate them. Killing sentinels along the way is optional, I'll choose to kill at least 1 to finish the milestone.

[median ember]

Well you can do that too

If you have a boundary map already

[exotic fiber]

a pinned comment has directions to a pillar

[sand wigeon]

So, anyone still playing expedition and willing to provide help by exploration?

[finite rover]

what sort of help?

[sand wigeon]

Eh, already solved it

Was searching for that last elusive cave dweller

Yea, know that it has nothing to do with expedition

[finite rover]

gotta get all the faunas? :)

[sand wigeon]

Sure thing. It’s just aspect of nms I like

[finite rover]

I do the same. I probably could've done the expedition in half the time if I ignored the fauna.

[misty parrot]

Any tips to find an underwatrer ruin?

I'm on the suggested planet from the pin but having no luck

[finite rover]

make sure the quest is selected. it ought to show you where to go

[misty parrot]

It is active but no marker

im just cruising around on the nautilus

[misty parrot]

ughhh its been like 3 hours. Bored out of my mind

[fleet hollow]

do you have a scanner on the sub?

[misty parrot]

yes. Im trying the other suggested planet from the pin now

[fleet hollow]

ok, good hunting

[misty parrot]

i just dont even know what im looking for. a ruin? It'll show up with that house icon when scanning? can I spot it with ship/on foot? Is it a buried treasure icon? do I have to be in the water to scan? Just have no idea, but this will certainly be the last expedition i ever do. At least 5 hours of doing ssomething i hate, just for a pirate poster

[lusty slate]

Are you scanning specifically for ruins through the quick menu? That'll give you an icon for the nearest ruin to follow.

[misty parrot]

nope. ouch.

[lusty slate]

Enter the Nautilon and select scan for ruin from the quick menu. It's pretty straightforward from there.

[misty parrot]

Thanks, i will when i get back on. was burnt out

i think i need a looong nms break lol

[hushed basin]

Just came back to the game after a bit of a break, haven't played since Polestar expedition was the latest expedition, any quick tips for completing this expedition?

[median ember]

READ THE PINS

Best advice i can give

[indigo falcon]

a lot of information is in the pins, including locations to do certain milestones, game advice to ignore (one more thing to ignore: don't look for a walker brain and don't install the conflict scanner, the economy scanner will do fine when you get to that point). so read those closely, plan ahead a little

[median ember]

Can I add something

If it's okay?

[indigo falcon]

of course

anyone can chime in and help, no one owns this channel (except maybe the admins)

[median ember]

The next nearest korvax system is pirate one...no need to install economy scanner as well

If possible pin this as well

[indigo falcon]

one's posted in the pins as well but some players prefer to find their own

if you can write down the info (system name, econ, race, and ly from which rendezvous system), maybe Bliss can fold it into the pins where the one system is now

(as it's his post, he has editing rights on that one)

[hazy herald]

how do I get the warp hypercore to repair the freighter warp core?

[indigo falcon]

no need to repair it, see the pins in here

get the starship drive instead

[lavish zodiac]

what do i get for doing expedtiion

[hazy herald]

Cool cosmetics

[tardy leaf]

Can I still get the wingsuit cosmetic or it's already over?

[hazy herald]

I just the saw pin and get what you mean but how do I make nanites now?

[fleet hollow]

it's over

[indigo falcon]

you can get some nanites by going to the exotic worlds in the starter system and scanning the single fauna on each, then gettig the bonus.

(watch the aggro sentinel world, you want to scan and get away fast)

500 nanites just for that.

(that's also in a pin in here 🙂 )

[hazy herald]

Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you.

[indigo falcon]

sure, good luck, and enjoy!

[misty parrot]

Do i need to uninstall all my ship stuff b4 warping to the pirate thing?

I mean, will it break everything>?

[indigo falcon]

no

[fleet hollow]

nothing will break

[indigo falcon]

expedition perk, all things are protected

sit back and enjoy the music!

[misty parrot]

great, thanks

[median ember]

i think whatever you asked is in the picture

eibet gyun is starter system

zoidek is system name....21ly away....

[frigid shard]

I’m literally running in circles here, trying to find the second coordinates at the end?

Can someone help?

[misty parrot]

you mean the pirate thing?

[frigid shard]

Yeah

I found it

[misty parrot]

it's an underground chest u gotta dig up.

ah gg

[frigid shard]

Apparently I just needed to run in circles for fifteen minutes

[frigid shard]

And DONE

[median ember]

Same as me...i was looking around as well

😆

Sorry i thought you needed system cordinate

[short sierra]

Well see you on 22 for expedition 7.

[sinful aurora]

I haven't played nms for long. I have 2 questions. Why do you need a new save for expeditions (as said in pins)? How do you grab the mission and move it over to a new save?

[zealous sage]

after the expedition is done, you can turn it into a normal save. but i guess they make you start fresh because itll be incredibly easy with your main save

[candid latch]

i think its how they start you in the expeditions

at least the stuff you unlock from the expedition can be used on all saves

anyone have luck with collecting the Gravatino balls, not sure where to get them

[sinful aurora]

I find gravitino balls in high sentinel worlds

[slim oak]

I’m not very well versed in NMS but the most reliable for me to find gravino balls is the ancient ruins. You can get ancient/historical ruin charts at the cartographer. And if you get to a plaque, you can request “knowledge of historical past” or something, which will reveal ruins. Ruins typically yield 3 gravino balls for me

[candid latch]

i forgot about that, i have been just getting help with the language and earning the faction rep

[slim oak]

I do the language for my main save but I don’t really invest too much outside of the expedition objectives in the expedition saves, esp language. But that’s just to save me a little energy and time

[median echo]

hey everyone, i started expedition as new player and i managed to get to a pirate fight and lost everything, i repaired the ship but rest of my gear is gone

i stumbled upon pirate ships by accident and couldnt escape but they seemed higher lvl than me or something

[lusty slate]

Aggressive Sentinel planets. They're literally everywhere on the surface. There's an aggro planet in the starter system.

[median echo]

i want to fight pirates again but im afraid i'll lose everything, any tips

[zealous nest]

@median echo cyclotron for shield eating, missiles for hull damage, have plenty of material for rebuilding shield. When locking on, make sure you use your thrusters to fly. You don't wanna be a sitting duck

Pirates are much easier than Sentinel Interceptors.

[velvet glen]

Anyone happen to have the coordinates for RV5 please, I messed up a step 😊

[ashen shore]

All RV points should be in pinned messages

[wraith venture]

as Friendly mentioned, can check the pins in this channel or run !Faq-ExpGlyphs in #bot-spam whenever you need the list of rendezvous points

[velvet glen]

Oh ok thanks will try thst

[unkempt kraken]

Expeditions 101

What is an expedition?

It is a community event run during a specific time period. For the revisited expeditions, each one will last two weeks. Every player starts with a fresh save, in the same planetary system and usually on the same planet.

Each expedition has five phases, each consisting of multiple milestones you must accomplish. You can do these in any order, except where a unique item is required from one before doing another. Each milestone gives rewards to help you on your way; each phase gives rewards that can be claimed on all saves later, as can the reward for completing the entire expedition.

Why play expeditions?

You can get special rewards that are not available through other means; bragging rights; exposure to new content or new aspects of NMS gameplay that you may not have encountered; each expedition usually has a fun narrative and/or lore.

Where can I get more information?

See [Expedition Tips](#bot-spam message) for more!

contributor: apergos#5337 shared by: apergos#5337

[indigo falcon]

everyone starts on the same footing for expeditions, if people were able to use their main saves they could easily bypass specific features of the game content the devs had in mind, for players to accmoplish milestones, and newer players would be at a severe disadvantage as well. @sinful aurora

[median ember]

@fringe agate

Can you add this image to pins as well..it might help ppl in completing blighted a little faster for those speed runners

[fringe agate]

Get some more info in the text about what it is

Like, Near RDV whatever, for whatever

[median ember]

Nearest korvax system...pirate one.... For that visit the pirate system milestone

Nearby starter system

Less than 100 ly away

No upgrade needed

[fringe agate]

Put that in the text with the pic

Pirate system next to starter system (name) Less than 100ly - no upgrade needed

Eibeyt-Guyun IV is the starter system

[median ember]

Expedition 6 Blighted (redux)
Milestone...visit a pirate system
Nearby starter system
Less than 100 ly away
No hyperdrive or scanner upgrade needed
Dominant race KORVAX

There

@fringe agate

[finite rover]

r5.

[plain kettle]

Woot! Expedition complete!

[median ember]

starter system has them too... But it has aggressive sentinal as well

[finite rover]

aye. r5 is nice in that you just wind up there.

[median ember]

Yeah but it needs to portal glyphs that come after you complete a related milestone...

🤔

I still suggest going to starter system...as one group can have as many as 7... So you need only 2-3 groups

And terrain manipulation to rescue

In case you're not well armed.

[median echo]

im still trying to upgrade my ship cause i just realized in expedition nothing expalined as newbie

how do i find a space anomaly?

[finite rover]

you build the beacon thingy that you get in another quest

[median echo]

i wanna upgrade to cadium drive but seems long way

[indigo falcon]

it's not so bad for the cadmium starship drive. you'll get the blueprints at the Space Anomaly which will become available to you after the first? warp I think, via the quick menu; you can stock up on nanites by scanning the single fauna on each of the exotic worlds in the starter system (one has aggro sentinels so be careful there)

[fervent umbra]

So when I went to start a new save and start this expedition on switch, it said I only had two days left. I'm guessing that's just counting down how long you have to make a save? So the actual expedition ends in about 5 days but you have to make a save before that time?

[fringe agate]

Correct

[indigo falcon]

there's a pin in here that gives the start and end times plus other info, in your local timezone even #nms-expedition message

[median echo]

how can i find rendezvous point 1 been using sweep scan and running for while but when i fly with ship i cant see anything in distance

[sand wigeon]

Look one line above

[short sierra]

quick question Do modding stop you from playing in Expeditions?

[meager scroll]

I don't think so, mods don't stop you from playing multiplayer in general

Everything is run client side, though affected data is sent to other players in case of MP

There is a pinned message in #nms-modding about using mods online

[indigo falcon]

no. you can even save edit.

and you can play single player anyways, I always do for stability

[short sierra]

thanks

[lusty slate]

Yup. And 5 days is plenty if you have reasonable time to play. I completed my Blighted run in 7 hours. There's a lot of useful information and advise in the pins that will speed things up if you get stuck.

[vital portal]

hey there, i just started expedition... and i wonder... there are no bases allowed ? i dont see base computer in my building menu

[mortal hawk]

No Base Computer until you start Milestone 5

Or rather, complete the last objective of Milestone 4

[vital portal]

ahh i see... OK, thank you.

[ocean gorge]

You might want to check the pins as there are many helpful hints for the expedition there, including this specifically #nms-expedition message
It mentions how you’ll encounter a freighter rescue battle early on (should be your first warp) and accepting it and using it as a base for convenience since you don’t get the ability to establish a base (no base computer) until basically the very end. A system freighter even if it’s not a great one will make do, unless you’re planning to use this as a main save for a long time (expedition rewards can be claimed on any save)

[supple radish]

#togglegang ftw

[wraith venture]

And this is #nms-expedition, not Twitter

[cloud lark]

Hello. I am having an issue where no matter how far or how many times I warp, I can never get to Rendezvous 1. I made sure the mission is selected, and made sure it was selected in the Galactic Map as well. I've warped 10,000+ LY and still nothing. Any ideas? I can't use portals either since I don't unlock glyphs until after RV 4

[meager scroll]

I think the easiest way would be to find another player in the RV1 system to join them

Otherwise, you might try creating a new expedition save and just focus on getting the phase 1 done there

(assuming you got more progress on this save you're currently in)

[cloud lark]

I have every mission done besides the RVs and the ones locked behind RVs

[meager scroll]

However this option won't let you get the full completion, if that's what you care about

[cloud lark]

I'll see if my brother wants to help me out with the RV and I'll join his game

Thank you

[still siren]

Any tips on completing the sunken antique milestone? I cannot find an underwater ruin, I've been using the nautilus and I have the high power sonar, what am I doing wrong?

[wraith venture]

Check the pins. I believe Apergos has tips that include info about the sunken antiquities milestone

[still siren]

Only thing I can find in the pins says to have peals with you :/

[wraith venture]

Have you tried teleporting back to the starting system? Since 10k LY is probably what's throwing off the game to point you to the Rdv1. Pinned is a list of names of the expedition systems, including the starting system, so it'd be easy to find in the Teleporter if you visited its Space Station

[cloud lark]

Huh, I actually didn't think of that. Let me give it a shot

[wraith venture]

Ooh I wonder if you've had a similar issue / misunderstanding I had in the past. How are you trying to scan for it in your submarine?

With the exocraft, when you're using their scanner tech, you access the function via the quick menu. I forget how it shows. I'd have to log into the game to check. I used to think it was the standard control used for scanning. But it's a different option. @still siren Not sure if this clarification will help. You can also ask about it in #nms-questions in case you need a better description or more help just with scanning for ruins in your submarine.

[still siren]

Oh yes that's it! I swear I've been zooming around for an hour getting nowhere, glad I checked the discord (really wish some of this stuff was more intuitive or it told you how to access the high powered sonar)

[wraith venture]

Yay! So glad you found it! And yeah, that bit can be totally confusing. So glad we can help

[cloud lark]

Omg it worked. Tysm! You are awesome :D

[wraith venture]

Woot woot! So glad you found it!

[serene kettle]

Thanks again to everyone who posted notes in the pins section. Sat myself down tonight and finished it up real quick. The location of the Sentinel Pillar in the RV-5 system was especially helpful. Nice of someone to build a little base beside it with a landing pad, too.

[patent canyon]

Expedition finally complete. This one was fun.

[sand wigeon]

Uh just 3 days remaining

[steady shore]

What's the current expedition

Nvm still blighted

[candid token]

👍 great expedition

[patent canyon]

Blighted. Great expedition indeed. I especially liked its twist.

There is only one question left though. ||What happened to the Blight faction themselves? As it seems that they did disappear eventually. 🤔 ||

[candid token]

They killed eachother off.

[naive prism]

when did the expedition end again?

[indigo falcon]

see the pins, there's one in here with start and end time of the current expedition

in your local time zone even

[lethal mist]

Can you do previous expeditions

[indigo falcon]

no, not unless hg decides to rerun them, like the current one

[naive prism]

i got somebody who claims his game says only 1 day remaining, that's why i got confused

[indigo falcon]

one day remaining to start a new save

new expedition saves must be started 48 hours before the actual end

[rocky fern]

Oh man, I was just looking over Leviathan, and that does not look fun.

How similar have the Reduxes been to the original Expeditions?

[pine relic]

pretty similar, thematically, just some milestones get shortened or substituted for something less time consuming to fit with the shorter timetable and such

probably less distance between rendezvous systems as well, but that's more of a feeling since I don't really remember the originals to that level of detail

[rocky fern]

Fair enough. Leviathan just looks... challenging.

[pine relic]

that was kind of the point, tho :P

I actually liked it more because of it, since the normal-difficulty-based ones tend to be too much of a leisurely stroll for me, as I'm used to playing in permadeath mode only... so it was nice of hg to cater to my particular playstyle for once in expedition mode. I'm probably in the minority, tho. :P

[rocky fern]

leisurely stroll

haha

[pine relic]

well

case in point, blighted... #nms-expedition message

that was while taking notes and writing tips and locations to be pinned here, before there were even rendezvous coordinates :P

[pine relic]

thus, a leisurely stroll :P

[rocky fern]

I cannot say with 100% certainty that I had left the first planet in two hours, twenty-five minutes.

[pine relic]

Well, that's certainly a choice lol

[rocky fern]

On the other hand, for most of the steps in the Expeditions I've done, I've had to learn how to do that thing before completing it.

[pine relic]

I don't keep normal mode saves, so I don't really do anything other than the stuff needed for the expedition itself

if you're new to the game that's fairly standard I guess, that sort of stuff comes with practice

[rocky fern]

"new to the game" is relative

haha

[pine relic]

other than core warping I suppose. Most people either stick to one galaxy or travel by other means, so I suppose a fair number of relatively experienced players had to learn how to do it for this one

[rocky fern]

to be fair, I did just start playing the game a few days after Halloween

[rocky fern]

I pre-ordered it, played it on launch day for about 90 minutes, then uninstalled it and never looked back for over six years.

[pine relic]

so, a bit of a gap there

[rocky fern]

I mean, sure.

haha

[pine relic]

I barely preordered too but I did keep on playing a bit with every update

I say barely because I did it like, hours before the game was out on steam, tho it had already been released on the ps4 a week prior :P

not really a fan of blindly preordering something that may or may not come out, and may or may not suck if it does lol

[rocky fern]

I love hopping on board a hype 🚂

sometimes it works out, other times... less so

but the hype is part of the fun

[pine relic]

nms suffered a bit at launch more because of the hype than because of what was or wasn't in the game

[rocky fern]

100%

[pine relic]

I had expected a survival type game in space, and got exactly that, so at least I wasn't one of the people disappointed due to the... weird way they handled press

[rocky fern]

I was so disappointed, I uninstalled it as soon as I logged out for the first time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm glad I never refunded it, though.
I'm not sure of how much has changed since then,
(I assume everything)
but right now it's one of my favorite games.

[pine relic]

I was a bit disappointed at how little there was to it, progression-wise... the way the launch version dealt with things like ship upgrades and such was very predictable and easy to abuse. Basically every crashed ship / multitool you found would have a few more slots than the previous one, until it capped out, and similarly to all the tech blueprints and stuff, so one could be fully kitted out before leaving the first planet, if one were so inclined (and patient)

in terms of the... gameplay itself, it hasn't changed much if at all

they improved graphics, added a couple systems (base building, vehicles, etc) but the core gameplay loop is basically the same, shoot stuff with gun to collect materials to fill your depleting bars...

I think the main original gripe people had with the release version was the lack of multiplayer, which took 'em a little while to fix

[rocky fern]

For me, I think it was constantly falling into holes that I could barely escape, but it was a long time ago.

[serene kettle]

Do the rendezvous planets exist outside of the Expeditions or the Expedition Saves, when they convert to "normal" saves at the end? I tried going to one of the rendezvous planets from the Exobiology Event with the portal glyphs listed and it's a completely different planet.

[pine relic]

They exist wherever they are, regardless of game mode. However you may have failed to take into account that you probably were in the wrong galaxy. :P

@serene kettle #nms-expedition message

that's the one where the rendezvous planets are

portal addresses only take you within the same galaxy, so you'd have to go to that galaxy first and only then use a portal

[serene kettle]

Was the Exobiology Expedition not in the Euclid galaxy?

[pine relic]

nope, galaxy name was in the link

[serene kettle]

Okay, I'm confused. Is that for the one currently going on or the previous one?

[pine relic]

oh right, that's from blighted, not exobiology

I think I've already deleted my exobiology save but you can check on the top-left corner of the galaxy map if you kept yours. The transition from expedition to normal would still leave you wherever you were at

[serene kettle]

Right on.

[pine relic]

tho I might have a screenshot of the galaxy map that I posted as a reference to the tall egg planet somewhere in this channel... lemme see

#nms-expedition message looks like it was euclid

[serene kettle]

Hmm. Don't know why it didn't work, then. I'll have to go back there on my Exobiology Save and see if the glyphs are different now.

[pine relic]

there's no logical reason for glyphs to ever change unless they do another update that changes the universe seed

but you do have to make sure that you're in the same galaxy as the planet you're trying to reach, so maybe you were not in euclid at the time

at least for me, in most of my saves I end up with bases in multiple galaxies and its easy to lose track of where I am :P

either that or you looked at the wrong glyphs post, I suppose

[clever wren]

I'm new to the game, is there an easy way to improve my weapons to kill sentinels easier ?

I'm trying to get a conflict scanner for 4 hours already

[pine relic]

you don't need a conflict scanner - the pinned messages should have at least one pirate system that you can locate visually by name by following the instructions, and even if you don't want to do that, the economy scanner shows pirate systems in exactly the same way as the conflict scanner.

[clever wren]

shoooooot!! thank you I'll try

[serene kettle]

I never bothered leaving Euclid on my main save. Don't know why it would spit me out someplace else.

[clever wren]

Thank youuu @pine relic economy scanner worked like a charm

I'm unblocked, just not sure if I'm gonna make it till the end 😦

[pine relic]

the easiest way I can think of would be by going to some featured base in the nexus, not realizing its not in euclid, and then just playing from there. Of course, ||finishing the main story is another way||, but I suppose you would be aware of that.

[pine relic]

You mean because of the deadline? I guess it depends on your pacing but it took me less time to finish the entire expedition blindly than it took you to try to get a walker brain... and I even did even fight all 5 waves of sentinels on one planet to get a pillar marked tho that was more for giggles than out of necessity. If you focus on the actual expedition goals and follow the list of tips and whatnot in the pinned messages here it shouldn't take long at all to get it finished. Even without the guidance it shouldn't take that long really.

[pine relic]

Anyway, I'd rather just keep watching anime but since it would help short-circuit the speculation, here, just loaded into my permadeath non-expedition-related save and used my euclid portal base to go to exobiology rendezvous 1 from the coordinates posted here, seems there's no mysterious issue somehow contradicting everything we know about portal addresses:
#nms-expedition message

[candid token]

Does anyone know where u can find an underwater ruin?

[pine relic]

Any deep water planet. You have to build your nautilon anyway for a milestone, do it in a watery planet and just install a scanner on it, then use the scanner from the quick menu (not the scanner that you press C or whatever) to locate a ruin, specifically.

[candid token]

Yes. I am aware of how to locate one. I was just wondering If collectively we all found a common easily findable in the path underwater ruin at any particular stage

[pine relic]

not that I'm aware, and it would still suck to get to it without using the normal method because you can't see coordinates while inside the nautilon, and your ship can't land in water... so it would be very annoying to keep popping in and out of the nautilon to check coordinates. The way that you're apparently aware of would still be faster.

I suppose if it happened to be super close to shore, but I've never seen one spawn close enough to land for it to make sense

[candid token]

You can see coordinates in your ship and can land near.

I usually do that. The farthest I typically have to swim is about 2 min

[pine relic]

Yes, but that's why using the scanner is faster. You just ping it with the scanner and fly to it with your ship and land nearby, you don't have to use the nautilon all the way. The marker stays regardless of how you get there. :P

no need to fiddle with coordinates, you just fly straight to it

[candid token]

Yeah I am just trying to find an optimized run. Because I have done the expedition like 9 times. I am on a 10th run rn. And I did every single thing except for find an underwater ruin on this run. Usually there was a player base I was seeing that was right next to one that I used as a guide. But now idr what system that was. So yeah.

I'm doing so many runs because im on switch and trying to farm QS. And I didn't really take notes I just played it over and over.

[pine relic]

Why?

[candid token]

Why didn't I take notes? Or why do it so much?

[pine relic]

Why are you farming QS... if you just want to unlock everything in the QS shop, then finish a run, get your 9k or so QS, save, spend it, reload, it is now unlocked to the account so rinse, repeat until everything is bought out. Or does that not work for the switch?

[candid token]

Idk if it works for the switch I didn't try it. I'm also not planning on trying it.

[pine relic]

whatever floats your boat I guess, but your best bet is still a scanner

[candid token]

And I'm farming the expedition as many times as I can to legitimately earn as much QS as I can.

9k x 10 completions (will be 10 once I find this underwater ruin)

[pine relic]

how long per run?

[candid token]

Not the same every time. The first run was like 13 hours, but I'm keeping that save. Each run after was faster than the last.

I think my fastest was 2 and a half hours or so

[pine relic]

and if you intend to keep doing it, you might as well start as many expedition saves as you can, before that window closes in....

less than a day

[candid token]

Once the expedition ends and you load into the game it says "the expedition has ended your game will convert to a normal save" press ok to accept

[pine relic]

I'm aware, but the expedition ends in 3 days

[candid token]

And if I don't press ok it still does that anyway.

[pine relic]

the time for creating new expedition saves, 2 days before it ends.

so I'm guessing it'll be closed for new saves in 4 hours or so

[candid token]

I have gained almost 90k QS and bought mostly the best stuff. Im sure I will be able to get qs another time for this 200 qs piece of grass.... I'm not too worried about it to make a ton of saves. I just been deleting the old save once I beat it and make a new one and run it again. When the next expedition comes out ima do that one. But for today and tomorrow I can still do a few more runs before you can't make more saves then im gonna take a break.

So since there isn't a well known place to go for the ruin ima just spend however long searching for this crystal sulphide

[pine relic]

1 day and 4 hours I guess, not 4 hours. Still time to get a few more runs in if you want, I suppose, but if you wanted to keep going for three more days then you could just start the expedition on multiple saves and take your time on the remaining two days to finish 'em. Not sure how many slots the switch version gets, but for other platforms you can have 15 at once or so.

[candid token]

Yeah I get that. But that other time is when ima take a break between stuff. Games been out on switch since October 7th. I got it November 7th and have. 370 hours.

[pine relic]

understandable

I'm pretty sure there will be large QS rewards in the switch version for the next two expeditions too, since the final rewards are capes and those aren't out for the switch yet

[candid token]

Yeah well I hope they do come out some time in the future as well as multi-player

I just had to swim 600 U away to find crystal sulphide. Yayy.

[sinful aurora]

I'm stuck. I got to the "Intergalactic" part in phase 5 and I cant find anywhere to go..

[pine relic]

just a second, I probably have some previous answer that I can link to

[sinful aurora]

Thank you

[pine relic]

this is more PC-oriented but I suppose you could try to make sense of it with console controls if necessary, #nms-expedition message

[sinful aurora]

Thank you! I had been struggling for a while now

[pine relic]

Well, you came to the right place :P

its usually more useful to come here than google, when it comes to NMS, because the game gets updated pretty often, and most of the pages covering it never are... other than the wiki

[sinful aurora]

I had been reread the pins thinking i must have missed something or that i locked my progress somehow

[pine relic]

it should be in the 'core warp faq' pin in some form, but tbh I think my way of describing it is easier to understand for someone that never did a core warp before

[sinful aurora]

Yeah i actually understood the "yellow thingy"

[pine relic]

it takes a significant degree of mouse motion to trigger the yellow thingie, but you can't go into free cam mode at any point, and most people just go into free cam as soon as they open the galaxy map out of habit

[sinful aurora]

I appreciate it

[pine relic]

so most people never even know it exists

anyway, if you've gotten that far its likely that you're pretty much done with the expedition

the only thing after that is the base building thing, and for that any 15 placeables will do, personally I spammed standing lights because I had a bunch of sodium left over, but anything works :P

[sinful aurora]

Yup I got everything, first expo !

[meager scroll]

All expedition rewards from original runs, sorted by expedition: https://imgur.com/a/t53KkT8

[clever wren]

Guys, I think I did a big mistake. I went on one milestone (I think the third one about going under the sea) found a new starship and accidentally clicked to switch to that (broken) ship. Did I lose all inventory that was in the old starship I had ?

[meager scroll]

You still have that ship and it's contents in your collection

You can summon it from Quick Menu (assuming it was fueled and repaired)

Or swap ships at Space Anomaly or freighter if you own one

[pine relic]

that depends if you exchanged ships, or added to collection. If adding to collection you keep both. If exchanging, you may have screwed yourself over.

[meager scroll]

Oof yeah important distinction

[clever wren]

I'm not sure, probably switched 😦 Is there a way I can check If I still have my starship?

[pine relic]

Sure, it will be listed in the quick menu - summon - select other starship, if you kept it

if you've exchanged, it won't be listed there.

[clever wren]

ohhh thanks, I'll try

[pine relic]

Even if you did exchange, the old ship may still be sitting where you left it and can be re-claimed, but finding it can be a real challenge and it will not stay after a reload so if you clicked the wrong button, and want to try to recover it, do not reload or warp/teleport until you either get it back or give up on ever seeing it again.

[clever wren]

Ohhh great, is it possible that someone else might have taken it ?

[pine relic]

and of course, if you haven't entered/exited the new ship, your most recent 'restore' save will be from exiting the original ship, so you could reload from that instead

[pine relic]

extremely unlikely, it wouldn't be marked for anyone, not even yourself, in any meaningful way and planets are really, really big so the odds of someone just stumbling upon it by accident in the middle of nowhere are ridiculously low. Not technically impossible, just... not realistically going to happen.

[clever wren]

Thank you again @pine relic I had my previous ship. Managed to summon it 😄. I'm so relieved

[pine relic]

There you go, minor inconvenience then :P

[indigo falcon]

a reminder (see the most recent pin) that if you are planning on doing the current expedition and have not started yet, you have about half a day left to start a new save! do not delay!

[past bane]

Hey everybody, I'm new here and a mistake brought me here. I have finished all of the last 2 part's of the 5th step intergalactic and breadcrumbs.
Can anybody bring me to the step where I can "leave the galaxy" ?

[pine relic]

try this #nms-expedition message

its pc oriented but if no console user can chip in you could probably abstract it to make sense with a controller

[past bane]

My mistake was to go somewhere else to do other steps from the expedition and I traded my ship instead of buying the new one

[pine relic]

your ship is irrelevant

I mean, you might have lost some tech/inventory but that's inconvenience rather than breaking the expedition

[past bane]

I'm on playstation, I had the chance to Warp to the next galaxy but I choose to do other stuff for the expedition and now I'm 700000 ly away from the center

[past bane]

I really don't mind it

[pine relic]

doesn't matter, you can just use a space station teleporter to go back to the rendezvous 5 space station and pick it up from there

the name for the system is in the pinned messages

[wraith junco]

Go to space station teleport and go to previous system from exp route

[past bane]

Oh ok, I will try that. Didn't see it

[pine relic]

#nms-expedition message you have to scroll down a bit but its there :P

and as a friendly reminder, the space station name will always start with the system name, so there should be no difficulties there

[past bane]

Alright thanks man, appreciate it

[pine relic]

assuming you visited the space station at rendezvous 5, anyway... if you neglected to do that things could get significantly more annoying for you

[past bane]

I think I'm in the right station right now

[distant inlet]

is it worth it if i were to start the expedition now

or is it too late

[wraith junco]

Start now

[pine relic]

you have maybe 12 hours

to start, and then two and a half days to finish

[distant inlet]

its my first one so i dont really know how it works

ive read some of the help messages

that are pinned

do i just click it when starting a save

[past bane]

Thanks again,I'm in the right system now I just have to build the drive to get there

[wraith junco]

Start new save, chose expedition mode

[pine relic]

It depends on how new you are at the game, really. I think two days is more than plenty but I finished it about three hours after the expedition itself started, so I may be slightly out of touch with how long it would take a completely new player to do things.

[distant inlet]

ive played the game for a few months

my save is 48 hours

my main one that is

oh cool there is other players

[pine relic]

yep, and you may have to figure out the mechanics of triggering the core warp using a controller, if you've never done that before. I can't really help with that since the last time I used a controller it had just one directional and six buttons.

[naive prism]

where was the 3rd map piece again?

[distant inlet]

so far this is kind of a pain

[pine relic]

from one of the underwater things I think. Either the ship or the ruin.

[naive prism]

ok

ty

[pine relic]

if you had it and lost it, you can craft it with some carbon :P

[naive prism]

yeah i'm helping somebody find it

and we just did the ruin but that wasn't it apparently

[pine relic]

it should be just a matter of clicking the correct milestone and following the ui marker tbh

[pine relic]

in what way?

[distant inlet]

well

firstly

i spawned in the middle of an ocean

secondly

radiation is annoying

especially in water

and i cant even get sodium unless im not in the middle of the ocean

[pine relic]

I actually also spawned in an ocean and it turned out to be pretty convenient, grab a few sulphide while you're there, you're gonna need 7 and getting it straight away will save some time in the long run

[naive prism]

why are you swimming in heavily irradiated water? 😆

[distant inlet]

because i have to

i cant leave

[naive prism]

does crafting it and giving it trigger the milestone too?

[pine relic]

probably not, just have the person click the milestone to find a sunken ship whatever it was called, that should mark an appropriate location, then just gotta fly there and interact with the beacon

[naive prism]

myeah

[pine relic]

Quick look at the wiki tells me that it should be called 'the last piece' in phase 3.

[naive prism]

yeah i have it open, and i'm trying to be polite by not calling him names :)

i just discovered that he didn't collect previous rewards either

[pine relic]

just be aware that the milestone needs to stay active or the marker will vanish, if starbirth was started, that tended to steal focus away from the expedition stuff from time to time, so one might need to click the milestone again to reactivate it, sometimes multiple times...

[naive prism]

yeah, i feel that

🤞

[distant inlet]

do you lose items on death

i died and i dont think my items went away

[ashen shore]

I’ve not got to much time left to try and complete phase 1 before I go on a short trip for the rest of the exoidion

Is anyone able to help me out with getting some nanites so I can learn the quantum computer and warp hyper core?

[pine relic]

why do you need either of those things?

[ashen shore]

For the mission

[pine relic]

You don't, tho.

[ashen shore]

Need to repare the freighter to go to the red sun

Mission “red skys”

[pine relic]

You still don't.

[ashen shore]

I very much do

[pine relic]

Sigh

[pine relic]

The milestone is lying.

You don't need it.

[ashen shore]

Welp

How was I supposed to know that then

[pine relic]

The milestone completes by warping to a red star. You can do it with your ship instead which will make more sense in the long run, and be cheaper nanites and material wise.

[ashen shore]

Right

[pine relic]

Either way, had you checked the pins, you'd have seen the tips about that, and about how to get nanites #nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

there are a couple places where the game hints just aren't helpful

this is one

just get and install starship drives for all that

[ashen shore]

K

[indigo falcon]

the other one is you'll be told to get a walker brain for a conflict scanner

[pine relic]

to be particularly efficient about it, skip installing the cadmium drive in your ship (you still have to buy the blueprint to unlock the others tho) and instead use the cadmium you get from a milestone to install the emeril drive, which allows you to go to red and green systems, and with the emeril from green systems to install the indium drive, and then you're basically done with hyperdrive upgrades. You don't need to ever move your freighter.

[indigo falcon]

don't do that either, just get the economy scanner

[pine relic]

Or get neither and use the pinned messages to locate a pirate system by name and reference pictures :P

[indigo falcon]

but do have a look at the pins in here generally because there's lots of good tips in there

[ashen shore]

I accidentally used that caladium on the freigher

So I’m just gonna low ball it with a red drive on my ship

[pine relic]

dismantle the freighter cadmium upgrade for a refund and a free warp hypercore

since you're not gonna need it anyway

[indigo falcon]

that hypercore is a lot of warp fuel too

[ashen shore]

K

[pine relic]

you don't need a lot of cadmium either way

but if you had tried to skip warping with your ship, you'd hit the roadblock of the freighter not being able to warp to the systems that the materials for its warp upgrades comes from... so either way you would have to install the regular ship upgrades, might as well skip the freighter nonsense

[indigo falcon]

with just a little cadmium you can always make more (refine it together with chrom metal, this preesumes you have the medium refiner, or the refiner freighter room)

[pine relic]

freighter refiner room comes as standard when you get a freighter so that shouldn't be a problem :P

[indigo falcon]

oh is it free now? nice (even if they are a little buggy)

[pine relic]

you don't even need to unlock it

might need to built it tho, I guess I've never seen a freighter with it pre-built

[indigo falcon]

I think I have, as one of the default base parts

[pine relic]

but all I get are useless decoration ones... aquariums and terrariums mostly lol

[indigo falcon]

but you can't count on that

I love the double aquarium ones tbh

[pine relic]

it looks cool but... not really useful

[indigo falcon]

it's useful eye candy, which is 80% of this game anyhow!

[pine relic]

my most recent freighter actually had a vykeen terrarium instead of the usual blob terrarium :P

[indigo falcon]

I've not gotten them with terrariums in them

[pine relic]

it was a bit of a bethesda moment

[indigo falcon]

a bit big for the space tho

the Vy'keen I mean

[pine relic]

yeah well, at least one can hope that the vykeen being stuck in there means there's one less vykeen to walk in circles around my refiners intercepting my interact button

[distant inlet]

oops

i shot a sentinel

[indigo falcon]

grab the barrel it dropped

then either shoot more or run away, your choice

[distant inlet]

i chose the second option

[pine relic]

I think they don't have the means to actually kill a sentinel yet, they had just spawned in like 20 minutes ago

it would take forever with a mining laser...

[indigo falcon]

20 minutes, could make a boltcaster, prolly no upgrades, that's gonna be very very slow

get grav balls, get milestone, get scatterblaster bp

[distant inlet]

im working on a terrain manipulator so i can get the boltcaster

im on milestone 3

[pine relic]

one time I spawned close to a manufacturing facility and tried to break the door with melee... I gave up after a few minutes of the damage bar not moving lol

[indigo falcon]

some milestones can be done out of order

[distant inlet]

yeah i did one that was in phase 3 on accident

[indigo falcon]

anyways have a look at the pins in this channel for a bunch of helpful hints on all that

uh melee? yeah it's real weapon only, although I heard a rumour that in abandoned systems those facilities have doors that are not reinforced

have not checked to see if that's true though

[pine relic]

more accurately they don't have doors, period.

[indigo falcon]

oh, you've checked one out?

[pine relic]

yeah, they look a lot like abandoned buildings

[indigo falcon]

right, most buildings will there

lotta goop etc

[pine relic]

but with a functional manufacturing facility puzzle thing

[indigo falcon]

and that's the thing

stock up on mt slots easy peasy

not that it's harder really in regular systems unless you get the quad dog glitching below the floor

[pine relic]

I've had more than enough MT slots from crashed freighters in my last run

so facilities I ended up using for recipes, like in the olden days lol

[indigo falcon]

well I oughta pick up another mmm 30 at least slots, rather a lot

not all at once, I'll do a few here and a few there at some point

[pine relic]

seems more of a 'why not' type thing really... I still can't even fill the three lines I have fully unlocked, I've felt no need to add a scroll bar to it lol

having more weapon modes to cycle thru would feel detrimental to me... more crap to cycle thru

[indigo falcon]

yeah I prefer two weapons on the mts for damage, that's plenty

(besides boltcaster/mining beam/terrain manip, which go on all)

usually it's been scatter all by itself tbh

[pine relic]

I skip the boltcaster as well. Pulse spitter takes care of everything, its like the new scatter blaster :P

[indigo falcon]

doesn't it chew through ammo though? I don't like having to stop and craft in the middle of the action

[pine relic]

I usually have two full stacks on me at all times, so...

[sleek spade]

Not really if you have a lot of it

[sleek spade]

Same

[indigo falcon]

two, lol

I think I have 10

ran too many derelicts

they just shove ammo at you

[pine relic]

I just sell the excess

[indigo falcon]

I did after 10

[pine relic]

or delete really since they're worth peanuts

[sleek spade]

Do dfs give sfm

[indigo falcon]

I sell em along with the frigate expd stuff

yes they do

[sleek spade]

Oh nice a lot or not really

[pine relic]

Usually after looting the canisters most of the ammo spent is refunded

[indigo falcon]

get over 50 blue crates, you'll average one per run

[pine relic]

so it takes days of actively playing before even one of the two stacks gets depleted

[indigo falcon]

huh gtk

[sleek spade]

What’s a blue crate

Only ever did 1 df

[indigo falcon]

so on the derelcts there are these little briefcase things, which have tainted metal or units usually

these tall lockers which have misc items

and then two blue crate type things, one looks like a foot locker kind of, the other more like a box with a thin lid

[pine relic]

there are 3 different types of container in derelicts. Small briefcase-sized containers, big rectangular crates, and lockers. SFMs only come from the crates.

[indigo falcon]

those ones can have sfms

[sleek spade]

How long can a df run take

[indigo falcon]

depends

[pine relic]

that depends on how and why you're doing it

and where.

[indigo falcon]

if you get an easy one and know the layout and are speed running for just sfms you can get in and out in 2 mins

[pine relic]

From 40 seconds to 10 minutes, I guess.

[indigo falcon]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Crew_Footlocker the foot lockers, but they are blue.

[pine relic]

right, I lumped those in with crates since its the same loot table and roughly the same shape

[indigo falcon]

https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Salvage_Crate the other one (also in blue on freighters)... took m a long time to find it, wiki was giving me the wrong pic for this initially

maybe I looked up salvage container instead of salvage crate.. anyways

those are the two to search and skip everything else if you want to speedrun a derelict

been awhile since this has been updated but the ones I've used are still good https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JX9T7JIZt9pQd0C5xZN4wsxH0XzydAnLxERhYWfGupc/edit#gid=0

https://www.reddit.com/r/NMSCoordinateExchange/comments/jipl8y/my_fav_s_class_derelict_just_in_time_for_update/ this one might do for your purposes, as an example

as for me, bedtime. see y'all next time!

[ocean gorge]

I ran into that a few times doing secure sites recently, they really need to fix that

[pine relic]

that's been a minor nuisance for a significant time, so I don't think they have any idea how to fix it... its related to the more recently noticeable issue of sentinels spawning inside pillars during nexus missions, rendering it impossible to complete unless you do all the sentinel murdering away from the pillar itself

the AI clipping thru things seems to just be par for the course at this point, like the similar issue of pirates flying thru freighters

[distant inlet]

alright

i got a freighter

[ocean gorge]

I wouldn’t mind so much the quad hurting me inside the building since I can hurt it, it’s the fact the repair sentinels can be stuck in the walls where I can’t get to them and thus the stupid dog can keep hurting me (and get healed) where I should be safe that irks me, and why I think it should be addressed (if it can be addressed). There should be a way, they could make the building have some sort of boundary within which sentinels cannot cross or something like that perhaps (I’m not a programmer but I’m guessing there should be some way to accomplish the desired effect)

[ashen shore]

Just checking, have we done the polestar expidition yet?

As I just saw the rewards for it and it looks amazing

[pine relic]

the original, yes. The redux, nope, we're still on the tail end of 6 and polestar is 8

[ashen shore]

Ah ok

So we are doing them in order

Thx!!

Can’t wait for the next ones then

I was gutted when I found out u missed out on my own space whale

[pine relic]

that should be in 3 days or so

[ashen shore]

Awsome

Gives me enough time to try and work towards getting my freighter operational for extremely long distance warps

[pine relic]

sure if you want

just keep in mind that expeditions need to be a brand new save each time so...

its not like that's gonna benefit you in it lol

[ashen shore]

Yeh I know

But I’m playing on galaxy hopping

But to do that I need to get to the Center of the galaxy

So the more efficient and long distance my warp drives operate at the better

Can’t think of any other upgrade types to slap on the freighter anyway

Other then the scanners and the matter warp

[ocean gorge]

You know I’ll admit the core warping controls are kinda weird, but once I figured out you’re not supposed to back out of the location lock like you’d normally do when using the galaxy map, it’s not complicated at least when using console/controller. The instructions as they appeared on screen were pretty easy to follow, just press and hold the right stick. I was worried with the description of swinging the mouse around for PC it was going to be some really wacko method for controller or something lol😂 But it ended up being really straightforward (if you actually followed the on-screen instructions xD)

[pine relic]

yeah, no instructions on pc :P

[ocean gorge]

Really?

[pine relic]

as far as I know

unless they put it in the milestone hints I guess

[ocean gorge]

Weird

[pine relic]

it probably has some instructions buried somewhere in that massive in-game manual with hints and tips and whatnot that no one ever reads

maybe

[leaden fable]

When’s the next expedition

[ocean gorge]

#nms-expedition message
Looks like Dec 22nd

[leaden fable]

Oh ok

[daring cedar]

Anyone know a good place to find gravitino balls? Im currently at RV 3 and cant find any

Idk if i have the shittiest luck ever

[scarlet chasm]

I am on a parent that has them, I'm at work right now but I could post a shot of the planet glyphs when I get home

[south dune]

From the pins :))

Some people set up bases you can hop to from space station as well

[fervent umbra]

Are there coordinates for the crashed freighter anywhere? I'm trying to find it for that freighter blighted milestone and I'm having to deal with a massive storm so I can't see shit on the ground.

Never mind

[frank galleon]

i sure am thankful for whoever pinned the rdv coordinates because i appear to have some weird mod conflict lol when it comes to rdv 1

no matter where i land, target sweep says too far away haha

nvm, doesnt work here either

[drowsy lagoon]

It should be noted the nearby pirate system has been renamed to "Black Mark"

[tulip jolt]

The first outlaw system my friend found he renamed to "Rebel Yell".

[ashen shore]

Almost like the mission: under a rebel star 😂💀💀😂

i regret doing it on day 1 now

wait is so long

[median echo]

how can i find a sentinel pillar?

[fringe agate]

Pins here have hardly locations, there is one close to RDV 5

#nms-expedition message

[indigo falcon]

it's possible too that players will have created bases by them, check the teleporter lists in space stations and see

[steady shore]

check pins or get a snetial pillar map from killing lots of them

[median echo]

yeah i tried to check on YT with coordinates but i've been lost for quite some time lol

[indigo falcon]

ah, the fix for that is to go to any space station and teleport back to one of the rendezvous systems, the pins in here have all the names, and the space station name will resemble the system name.

[median echo]

yeah got u

i already have one location

[indigo falcon]

good good

[median echo]

but i cant go there its so slow when u enter a planet i wish there was some kind of map to pin or something

its -9, +13

[indigo falcon]

planetary coords are a bit tedious, it's true

[median echo]

but am at -50, +120 and this will take ages

plus in the guide there's communication stations, i dont have any shown on my planet

[indigo falcon]

comm stations show up erratically, you cannot rely on them

[median echo]

found it

thank god for the dude who placed save beacon

[indigo falcon]

this guide shows how to use the coordinates, when you have a long distance to cover it's best to get out of atmosphere some, then pulse back down in the right direction and check again https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Planetary_coordinates

oh good!

[median echo]

he created a base on top of it LOL

[indigo falcon]

long as you have access to the terminal and the nodes after that, you are good

not even the nodes, those would be for extras

[median echo]

i started NMS with expeditions having 0 idea, but i like that theres some sort of direction for while instead of just exploring

[fringe agate]

Focused yeah, that's not how I play NMS at all, so the Expeditions are a neat change of pace.

[indigo falcon]

I usually have my own goals, even if they are "go to a new system, check out all the planets, take pics"

[amber void]

no im to late

[median echo]

do i have to finish all expedition quests to get the final rewards?

i dont think ican do it got some IRL stuff

[amber void]

yes

[amber void]

for the final reward you need to complete the expedition i think

[indigo falcon]

you can claim the phase rewards for any individual phases you have completed

you must complete all 5 phases to be able to claim the end expedition reward however

you have about 2 days to finish up, you can do it!

read all the pins, use every short cut, use player bases, all that!

[median echo]

ah okay

[median echo]

hopefully i can manage with the short of amount of time i have

[finite rover]

if you don't muck about you'll do it easily. I mucked about and still did it in 18hrs (I went crazy fauna-hunting for eg - every planet I visited I had to find them all).

[frank galleon]

in my case, it was literally 7 minutes away and pointing in the wrong direction.
It also was not at the location given in the pins.

Here i am at the coordinates in the pins and you can see it says Rdv 1 is 3 hours away.

Here is where Rdv 1 actually was for me. [-63.46, +61.93]

Hi,
I checked pins but I'm still confused about what time the current Expedition is ending. It says 3AM on the 22nd for me in Pacific time zone. So, I need to have collected rewards before then? Will the conversion happen immediately when I log in after that? I completed it all before but helping someone new in Eastern time zone.

What galaxy will we be in when it converts? I didn't even notice if we were in Euclid the first time.

same galaxy you were in when it ended

if you want to reach Euclid after the expedition, check the Anomaly Featured Bases at the Anomaly teleporter

Is this expedition on hard-core difficulty? Jw

I read about the next one on the wiki. Sounds like it’s going to be a tough one😬

I’ve never fought horrors before

Thank you 😊

[frank galleon]

the next one plays dirty. be on your guard.

i remember getting jumped by bio horrors unexpectedly

[sudden parrot]

if i start a save now, can i revisit this expedition after it ends?

[ocean gorge]

You cannot start a save for the Blighted expedition now, the deadline for making a new save for it has passed.

Expedition saves must be started 48 hrs prior to the end of the expedition

And as far as I know when any expedition ends you can’t return to it afterward

Just

Waiting till the 22nd

I'm okay (:

[wide flame]

what time exactly does this bad boy end??

[south dune]

The pins have the times for your zone :)) for when this one ends

[digital canopy]

oh

is blighted still going?

/s

finished it in like half the time i did exobiology. the premise was cool but it felt a bit underwhelming. was hoping for something a bit tougher.

Yeh it’s going on for a few more days

I only did phase 1

[indigo falcon]

there's about 1 day left (24 hours) to complete it now. check the pins in here which give the start and end time in your local timezone.
