[indigo falcon]

old expedition saves convert to regular saves

[waxen shuttle]

is it even worth sending that one frigate off on expeditions lol

[indigo falcon]

every new expedition requires a fresh save, we all start out on equal footing in the same system with the same challenges ahead of us

[indigo falcon]

you don't need to for the purposes of the expedition

[placid hound]

If y'all don't mind me asking, what's the point of expeditions?

[rare shoal]

its just a fresh adventure that unlocks things you can use on any save. as you complete milestones it gives you access to cosmetics and other items you can use on your main save by visiting the npc in the space anomaly.

[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?

[indigo falcon]

that's the point as best as I can summarize

[placid hound]

Ahh ty ty

[indigo falcon]

or points.

[glass stump]

How long does it take for Whispering Eggs to regenerate in the Expedition saves?

[indigo falcon]

could be several days, don't rely on that

[glass stump]

They seem to be a better source of nanites than mold imho, but not if it is "days". Thanks

[indigo falcon]

better source of nanites: open memory fragments, sell any that are dups or you don't expect to use (underwater junk for example)

they are all A class at this point so you do get a decent price for them

[glass stump]

Are the excocraft memory fragments needed/useful in this Expedition?

[pastel star]

not needed at all

[indigo falcon]

you can get by with just the minotaur ones

the rest, sell at will

[pastel star]

and you dont even HAVE to use the minotaur if you choose not.

[glass stump]

Minotaur? I will need to build one? For which milestone?

[indigo falcon]

(some people don't even bother with the minotaur, it can be handy for the storm crystal gathering but is not required)

[pastel star]

i just found a rock cluster during non storm time and parked my ship next to it, grabbed my few when it kicked up and dipped

[glass stump]

Ah, OK, not done that yet. Have had decent luck in thee past of landing close or digging holes.

[indigo falcon]

alternatively, wait for storm, fly low, find cluster, land, grab, leave

[rare shoal]

i buy them from pirate systems. just grind pirate missions and every time you go back to the station a few more will be for sale. costs units but worth it imo to add to the nanite pool

[indigo falcon]

you buy what from pirate systems?

[rare shoal]

larval cores

[indigo falcon]

if you have units you can buy um suspicious packaets (weapons) from the contraband agent, open them, sell for nanites...

oic, that works too

[rare shoal]

larval cores and hadal cores

[indigo falcon]

yep

[glass stump]

That is what I've done in the past.

[glass stump]

thanks

[rare shoal]

part of my early game loop is grinding pirate missions for specific items so

works for me

[zealous nest]

Props to the Entities who built caches stations along the way, specifically the base holding the tower. Extremely helpful

[indigo falcon]

pillar bases? yep lot of that on the route 🙂

[candid token]

Well I just dumped 7k somnal dust on polo.
We are up to tier 3 33%. 👍 basically half way there

[indigo falcon]

remember that you alone don't move the needle. but you must have gotten a pile of signal scanners 😄

[candid token]

Yeah I have almost 80 of them

[indigo falcon]

33% is 1/3 of the way through the tier...

[candid token]

Yeah but 3 is more than half of 5

[indigo falcon]

given those cost 5 million units each normally, that's a great haul

oh, each tier is its own thing, I don't look at them all together

1/3 of the way to S gear for new spawns

[candid token]

I mean basically half way to full tier 5.
We are on tier 3 of 5 at 33%
Which is approximately half way to the full completion

[indigo falcon]

I keep them separate because the last step is 'get X class memory upgrades' which means some of the time you are getting crap 😄

imo the S tier should be reached and then people should take their sweet time to get to X 😛

[candid token]

I wanna get the entire expedition fully maxed out before it ends in only 5 days.
It took 2 days to get from tier 2 to 3. So idk if it will even happen

I am actually hoping to do a second run of it once we reach tier 5.
That's why I haven't fully completed it on my first run and am just grinding mats

[candid token]

So does this mean that no matter how much I give to polo it won't ever go up?

[indigo falcon]

more than 5 days

the pins have end time in your local time.

[candid token]

5 days remaining

[indigo falcon]

there's a cap, 20 contributions a day I think it is, count

[candid token]

Oh nice. 👍

[indigo falcon]

time remaining to start a new save

[candid token]

Which I plan to do once we get to tier 5.....

So in other words only 5 days to get to tier 5....

[indigo falcon]

time to end of expedition is 2 more days after that.

we're at A tier now, 1/3 of the way to S

so it's fine

you can also start a new save earlier

die once the tier completes for S

get the new S gear 🙂

[candid token]

I want to grind the expedition to tier 5. Then on tier 5 start a new save and do it again.

[sinful aurora]

Did the expo yesterday for the s.o. took me about 6 hours to complete. Now to just wait for it to revert to a normal save and try to swap ships and get the 2000 tainted metal xD

Expo 7 was a lot of fun, good story

[indigo falcon]

glad you had a good time!

[acoustic echo]

is there any planet near the 3rd anchor point that has storm crystals on it???

[indigo falcon]

probably but we don't have one listed, see the locations pin in here for locations of a few worlds

you can always tp back to the space station of the nearest anchor point, do the thing, then tp back

[lament dew]

What are the rewards for completion of the expedition?

[indigo falcon]

there's a pin with 'rewards for expeditions redux' in here which lists them

the big ticket items: a nice cape (for all but switch players), the Leviathan living frigate

switch players get 8888 (yes that's four 8's) quicksilver

[wraith junco]

8? I see what you did there hg 😉

[atomic laurel]

bloody hell im trying to find a crashed freighter but not sure how to

distress signal charts maybe?

[wraith junco]

Yes disterss charts can spawn crashed freighter

[ocean gorge]

Yes, I think that’s what I used in one of my saves. Just note, it can indicate other things as well. Like a regular crashed ship

[indigo falcon]

buy 5, open each one until you get the crashed freighter, do NOT go to any of the wrong locations, just sit there and open maps

if one gives an error, spam it again until it finally marks something

(there are only 5 types of such things it can mark, a map will refuse to mark a type that's already marked)

[ocean gorge]

Sometimes I’ve tried looking for a minor settlement using the inhabited chart, and it’ll say “this type of building is already marked” over and over😔 Are you saying if you spam it, it’ll eventually mark something else?

[indigo falcon]

yes

[ocean gorge]

For example, a shelter.

Hmm, next time I’ll keep at it

[indigo falcon]

good!

[atomic laurel]

literally just spotted one visually while flying to another location

[indigo falcon]

well done 😄

[ocean gorge]

Usually those tall waypoint beacons will mark a minor settlement but lately, and idk if this is because of something in expeditions or what, but they just make the scan rings emit from it, but don’t mark anything, like it’s a bug or something. Really disappointing😔

[atomic laurel]

im going to make a base and upload it

[indigo falcon]

if you have a minor settlement marked already the beacon will not mark another

[ocean gorge]

What if it’s on another world, but not the world you’re on?

[indigo falcon]

if it's in the system, I think. (not 100% certain)

[ocean gorge]

Weird. You’d think it’d at least mark one on the planet you’re at the beacon for

[indigo falcon]

well I imagine (again not 100% sure) that it's the same mechanic as for ancient relic sites which can be off planet

which would lead me to guess that it's a system wide thing, for beacons, observatories and so on

I think if you have a minor settlement marked on a planet and have not gone there, themarker is visible from elsewhere in the system

(like ancient relic markers)

[atomic laurel]

hmm you need activated cadmium to make emeril drive right? oh noped just regular

[sleek spade]

Screw expeditions

[waxen shuttle]

you died?

[crimson rose]

Everyone dies in this one.

[atomic laurel]

oh lordy looool

Gotta love using a bunch of Suspicious Packages (Goods) and getting several storm crystals, cadmium for my emeril drive

lovely

:/ maybe need to put the storm crystals into storage then take em back out to have it count i dunno

[vital otter]

for the milestone? I think only ones you collect yourself on a planet count for that same as with the larval cores from whispering eggs

[atomic laurel]

as i have presently discovered lol

[waxen shuttle]

i mean, besides the required death

[vital otter]

even that is not technically required if you can find another way to get a hermetic seal, the ending will fulfil the 'die' milestone
this is from talking to some people who wanted to run the expedition without dying at all

[serene kettle]

Okay, when you complete the Expedition and get the Leviathan Frigate, does this one not ask you if you're good to go and converts it to a normal save?

[atomic laurel]

it wont convert to a normal save til either the community research is done or it ends

[serene kettle]

Roger that.

[sleek spade]

No it just isn’t fun

[glass stump]

OK, I am on Lowest Mano, starter world in starter system (Kusinst), looking for creature Z. How do you find them. Just bounce around, land and scan? Is this an RNG thing? Is there a better way to find the one you are looking for?

[glass stump]

I have found these so far a mixed bag.

[vital otter]

one will more than likely spawn near to you, no need to waste fuel flying around looking for it, just take some short walks gathering resources and keep checking your scanner

[glass stump]

OK< will give that a try.

[zealous nest]

@glass stump Wait for one walking poison camel to attack another. I found mine eating a dead body

[waxen shuttle]

Loydon K25 also has a leopard creature but it's rare

then again so is Z

actualy K25 has two different leopards

one of them has six legs

[atomic laurel]

anyone want a co op partner for help getting started? I'm halfway through or so

[hexed oak]

Did anyone figure out how to guarantee the placement of a base computer near the expedition points?

in regards to this pin talking about reporting bases, which doesn't let us put down a base computer

[oblique wharf]

I’ve completed the expedition but the save file remains as a expedition, why isn’t this converted to a normal save like the others?

[hexed oak]

Community research not over

[atomic laurel]

it wont convert until either all of the community research is done or the expedition ends

[oblique wharf]

Ahh okay. Will I be able to redeem that leviathan ship in my other file too?

[candid token]

Yes if you unlocked it with this expedition then it will be available on all other saves through the quick silver shop

[glass stump]

Staying in one place or flying around

[waxen shuttle]

is there a limit to how much stuff i can give to polo and contribute to the community goal?

[zealous nest]

@glass stump just dorking around,

[waxen shuttle]

now to figure out how to help people

[hexed oak]

I doubt it

[candid token]

Idk if it's true but someone told me 20 donations per day

[waxen shuttle]

i wonder how viable it would be to fly around and stop pirates from killing people

[hexed oak]

Will it work if I try to give my friend a quick ride through the expedition via my bases?

[waxen shuttle]

also i like how it gives you a random multitool weapon and a random starship weapon and only upgrades for those so you have to play with what you get, forces one to experiment

[hexed oak]

Yeah, that is pretty neat. That it focuses on the first randomly chosen weapons, as opposed to being totally random

[waxen shuttle]

of course you can craft a boltcaster and you have the basic photon cannon and rocket launcher but you're not getting any upgrades for those easily

running derelict freighters with neutron cannon: so anyway i started blasting

what would have happened if ||i had chosen to attempt to flee from the leviathan||

[fervent patrol]

hey guys was anchor point 2 on a red stormy planet

[boreal heron]

How do I find loop hotspots? the memory resonator is activating, but im not seeing an icons for it on anchor world 2

[fervent patrol]

for reason it needs to be hit twice sometimes

might just be me tho

[fervent patrol]

you could use the flute again and it would call the leviathan

the leviathan could flee if you say ur not sorry

and it would just basically go

"okay, well uhhhh.... fuck you too i guess"

[unreal gale]

Does this mean I've completed the expedition?

Because I'm not having the last box checked

[random lynx]

Yes, you completed it.

Once you collect all the badges you’re good.

[analog nacelle]

how am i meant to get the hermatic seal

ive already died and nothing

it didnt give me the milestone

[placid dew]

Lol.

[analog nacelle]

can someone explain the universal loops

i just got 2 in a row

[iron radish]

once youve died in the expedition tab of the menu you can collect the reward under the quest that requires you to die once

[analog nacelle]

i fixed it

but what are the universal expeditions

loops*

[indigo falcon]

these are community milestones; everyone together contributes a little to complete the tier, just like community unlocks of new quicksilver items at the anomaly. your contributions alone won't be enough to move the needle

@indigo falcon btw. just to be clear, I didn't actually lose everything. I was fighting on a freighter then died, wound up on a planet and just assumed so when I checked I didn't check things properly. my bad. don't want you having bad info as you actually help out here. :)

[atomic laurel]

anchor world 4

Have actually only gotta get to the portal and then find the memory

[finite rover]

hope you remember where you put it

[atomic laurel]

😛

[finite rover]

remember that it's always in the last place you look so save yourself some hassle and look there first.

[atomic laurel]

ap5 almost there

[finite rover]

Be sure to visit The A5 Pillar and Spa Resort.

[atomic laurel]

is it a sauna

[finite rover]

it can get pretty hot. up to you.

[atomic laurel]

how tf are people putting their bases right on top of eachother like they are at these portals

like within 20u

i got nests :/

oh well im good

[quiet plume]

Ive never done an expedition before what do I have to do and what do I get?

[atomic laurel]

you get a living frigate that's very good, at the end of it

it's a long mission with a lot of steps, read the pins

and click Event Details

[quiet plume]

Hmmm a living frigate.... I may have to do that thanks 😄

[atomic laurel]

youve not got a whole lot of time

expedition ends january 3

plenty of time to do it but you can't dawdle

[indigo falcon]

it ends later than that but you cannot start a new save after Jan 3rd. specific start and end dates are in the pins in here, with times displayed in your local timezone even.

[atomic laurel]

oh jan 5

It was fun figuring this all out

Was tough at first, survival is harder than normal lol

[indigo falcon]

it is, glad you enjoyed it!

[nimble herald]

the increased nanite cost of things made my jaw drop at first...

[unreal gale]

I think that's a special thing for the expedition tho. Not a setting of Survival mode

[tired vortex]

Question: do these rewards at the end of each iteration apply to all saves? Like, my normal play save that has way more hours.

[meager scroll]

Yes, phase rewards are account wide

You can redeem those rewards on other saves at Quicksilver vendor at Space Anomaly

[tired vortex]

Loveeeee

Thanks 😊

[meager scroll]

https://imgur.com/a/t53KkT8

Here you can see all the rewards available at QS vendor

[unreal gale]

And we can delete the save, right?

[meager scroll]

You can, but I wouldn't advise it unless you redeemed all rewards

But even then, do you really have to delete it? We can have up to 15 saves

[unreal gale]

True

Can we sort their order?

[meager scroll]

Nope, the last active save goes to the top

You can rename them from the pause menu

But that still won't sort them, just help you tell them apart

[patent canyon]

I found my first memory trap and the game told me that I am supposed to die. Yet I ran away and survived. This time it's me who laugh. Not .

[lament dew]

How long would it take to complete the phases of an expedition? I’m not sure how it works

[nimble herald]

that makes sense, tbh I have never tried survival so to me it sounded like the cost was the norm... I ended up farming platinum to get what I needed, but it took... time...

[patent canyon]

For me it usually takes an hour/few hours (depending on how much stuff I have to collect) to complete one phase. It depends if you rush it, do side activities along it like exploring the world or whatever you like to do and use community guides or not.

Also there perma death might make completing a phase longer.

Due requirement of repairing ship again and again.

There are some phases which seem to be based on RNG/luck though. Like searching for storm crystals - so far I had no luck.

As they don't spawn on all planets and you might need to wait for storm.

Also learning alien languages might take time if NPCs on space stations are broken due multiplayer, which happens often.

Also some places with objective stuff can be marked by player bases. Like for example Sentinel boundary, which is already in the starting star system.

And you can see all player bases built in a star system at the space station's teleporter menu.

Also good idea is not just doing all objectives per phase, but check all phases with unlocked objectives, as there are many which you can do even before reaching the phase.

And the game doesn't force you to do the phase objectives in the phase orders.

[unreal gale]

I just farmed liquid sun to get stuff from polo, end of the day got lucky and got a lot of high class mods

[patent canyon]

Liquid sun is the easiest way to get stuff for Polo, as you can get tons of it from one huge resource deposit easily. Also you need to help Polo at two objectives.

[nimble herald]

hah, that would have been easier

[unreal gale]

It also went along the questline, while I searched for materials and metals... the stuff I didn't needed went all into liquid sun

[dense lynx]

Thanks to the guy that made the base called gifts for late starters in the first system.
I was about to start over the expidition because ny ship parts were destroyed and i kept being attacked by pirates but that base saved me

[patent canyon]

If it's too annoying, module damage is one of the few difficulties which you can tone down from the current value to "minimal".

[candid token]

Woot. Tier 3 57%. 👍 great work everyone. We almost to S class.

[indigo falcon]

over halfway. maybe in a couple more days?

[dense lynx]

im trying to use the memory resonator and its not working on any planet

its telling me to go to a specific planet

and i went there

and it doesnt work

[candid token]

Make the right quest your active quest before trying.

Check on milestones

[dense lynx]

do i have to go to a specific area on the planet?

[candid token]

No. But you have to go into milestones and click on the one next to the rendezvous for whatever stage you are on. Like "A new beginning?" "To crave the stars" "obsession" "monomania" "another chance"

And make that your active quest.

Then use the resonator

These milestones are found on the expedition page

[candid token]

Oh yo. Also I figured out something handy.
Once we get to tier 5 and you start a new save you can claim loop research 1, 2, 3 to get on S tier. Then 5 to get bonus free stuff. Use S class upgrades to get your best stuff then claim 4. Because the mods don't turn into x class till you claim tier 4 rewards.

Basically in other words you can stay on S tier if you want as the only way to move on to X tier is to claim the tier 4 optional rewards. So if we all grind the expedition to tier 5 all of us will benefit equally will 0 drawbacks

[indigo falcon]

oh that's very handy

let's see if it actually works out that way

[candid token]

It does. I made a new account to test. You can too. Rn just claim optional 1 and your stuff will be B class and not A which is where we are rn.

[crimson jacinth]

New player here finding it really difficult to complete but having fun learning the ropes haha

[candid token]

👍 if you have questions just ask

[dense lynx]

other than the leviathan frigate what else can you get from this expedition

[crimson jacinth]

Thank you! I will do 😄 will continue playing after dinner, unfortunately still on phase one but tbh I hadn't even got to the anomaly point in my main save so getting used to things.

[candid token]

Oh yeah this expedition gonna be a challenge then. Good luck. 👍

[crimson jacinth]

Very much so! and thank you! 😂 👍

[candid token]

For anyone interested this system has the easiest derelict freighters in the game. Literally just walk through and grab stuff. Can do 2 in 10 min

[indigo falcon]

there is a pin in here with a list of all rewards from the various expeditions, have a look!

[crimson jacinth]

thats super handy thank you

[indigo falcon]

what hostiles does it have?

[candid token]

Probably 8 or 12 green jellyfish and where they spawn most of the time you don't have to even shoot them

It's 13 rooms total, but only 9 need to be entered to get all the loot

And only 4 have the jellyfish

I just did 1 run and got 841 somnal dust from it

[dense lynx]

should i use upgrades i get from the memory fragments or sell em for nanites?

[candid token]

Up to you. Use the helpful ones and yeet the crap ones or ones you aren't gonna use

[indigo falcon]

that's great to know, there's a jellyfish-only one in the pins but if the system derelict is like that, so much the better

[candid token]

Yeah this is a required system to visit for the expedition.

I think. It's been discovered by hello games

[dense lynx]

what happens if you destroy your freighter's cargo pods

my intrusive thoughts are taking over

[candid token]

You get your own stuff

How?

[dense lynx]

i went in the delorean

is ammonia useful

cuz i got a ton from someones base

[candid token]

Yeah you can use it to recharge some stuff.

And it's helpful for portals too

[dense lynx]

ok

i love collecting these bounties

[candid token]

👍

[dense lynx]

i got some contraband on me

how do i smuggle it

[indigo falcon]

where are you? at a base, or where?

[dense lynx]

in a space station

[indigo falcon]

outlaw station?

[dense lynx]

no

normal

[indigo falcon]

oh, a regular one? well... just walk over to any npc pilot that comes in and sell it off

[dense lynx]

what abt at the trade station

[candid token]

Or the galactic trade terminal

[indigo falcon]

the trade terminal? you can but that's less good, you will have an impact on the price doing that

[dense lynx]

ok

[candid token]

I mean you could also make more doing that too

Depends on the economy

[dense lynx]

should i keep my current ship or should i get something better

[candid token]

If you like your ship or want to keep it as a memory of having done the expedition you can. You are able to have up to 9 ships.
If you want to get another you can while also keeping that one. Or you can trade that one to reduce the price of another ship or possibly getting it free

But if your ship is worth 4 million and you trade it for a ship that's 1 million you do not get any money back. It's a 1 to 1 trade.
But if your ship is 1 million and you trade it for a ship that's 4 million you still pay 3 million.

[dense lynx]

ok

[dense lynx]

how do i make achromatic hypershield or whatever

[candid token]

For your freighter?

[dense lynx]

yh

[candid token]

You use salvaged freighter modules to buy them at the center consol on your freighter.

Upgrades terminal

(The one closest to the green stairs )

You will need to do a lot of runs on derelict freighters to be able to buy that.

[dense lynx]

damn

[candid token]

Instead of using your freighter to jump in hyperspace just go to the anomaly and talk to the ship guy. Buy the upgrades for your normal ship and go into wherever without the freighter

[dense lynx]

ah

i couldnt be bothered to make a hyperdrive so i just used the freighter

[candid token]

I see.

Well at this point you can go here

And farm derelict freighters easy peasy

Or you can build the hyperdrive for your ship (which I actually think one of the upgrades you get for free is a pre made hyperdrive for ship)

[dense lynx]

i might have sold it lol

btw where is the exosuit upgrade on the anomaly

[indigo falcon]

by the exosuit vendor. when you get to the area where nada/polo are on one side and the tech vendors are on the other in that circular area, walk on the left side of the circle, past the construction research station, to the right of the next entity (Selene) is the upgrade thing

[dense lynx]

thx

[atomic laurel]

Every time you get on to play no Man's sky to work on the expedition you have to listen to the album from Mars to sirius by gojira

At the very least you have to listen to flying whales

[candid token]

Unless you are deaf or play muted.

[atomic laurel]

The please read the lyrics 💜

[candid token]

Lol

[cosmic quail]

Anyone wanna play?

[sudden anchor]

How do you get detrium?

I need go repair my sail

[candid token]

You either get it from a merchant, dismantling something that can give you some. Or by refining tritium and Di-hydrogen together in a medium or large refiner

Also try #nms-questions to get help with things like this those guys are much faster to reply.

@sudden anchor 👆

[sudden anchor]

Ty!!

Btw medium refiner isnt an option-costs 100 salvaged data and my sail isnt worth a hour of my time

[candid token]

Some augments can be dismantled to give you some deuterium

[dusky pivot]

is anyone able to help with the derelict freighter

im not good with them

and how do i get better weapons?

[strange zinc]

I would suggest looking up easy freighter systems, and then using the portal to reach said system. However, I find having a decently infested ship can actually be better, as the amount of dust you get for getting rid of all the gunk will essentially "refund" the emergency broadcast whatever, plus change. Pair this is a system with decent drops for freighter upgrade modules, and you have a somewhat consistent grinding loop. Only works during the expedition tho

[dusky pivot]

i need to do it for phase 5

[strange zinc]

also, depends on what you mean by better weapons. I would say maybe look around for alien class multitools, or see about getting some better upgrades for the weapon mods'

[dusky pivot]

i only have boltcaster and blaze javelin

[strange zinc]

I suggest going to the anomaly and using nanites to buy the scatter blaster stuff. really effective to kill pesky things close by

[dusky pivot]

they are locked

[sinful aurora]

Basil if you are struggling with the derelict frieghter I think you can despwan the little enemies. It works for me at least. I shoot the nest sacks and then use the twleport there to go back to next to my ship and then continue (shoot nest, go to ship, repeat). Takes longer but keeps me from dying. Also you could use a portal to go to the system mention in pins that has an easy derelict freighter

[lofty idol]

what are the rewards

or how do they look like

[sudden anchor]

I-

I just got 2 shot by something on a derelict freighter

[wraith junco]

Poster, cape, leviathan calf base part decor, leviathan frigate, title : looper, decals

[dense lynx]

i saw one and left cause it creeped me out

[waxen shuttle]

can the leviathan frigate be damaged?

[waxen shuttle]

ouch

I know the derelict in the AP5 system has ||a lot of nests but only a few jellyfish, one turret and no drones (I think? I had neutron cannon so it's possible I killed drones while clearing nests)||

to be honest the ideal enemy composition probably depends on what weapon you rolled as well

[sudden anchor]

I have no ifea what even happened

I just died and ragequit

[hexed oak]

Can you multiplayer the expedition via steam?

[sudden anchor]

Yes

[waxen shuttle]

like for example the neutron cannon is very good at clearing nests

[hexed oak]

After dying is presenting a small issue

[waxen shuttle]

did it say the cause of death on the death screen? e.g. "Death by Space Horror"?

i don't think I took much damage on the derelict but I had shield upgrades fairly stacked so it would have taken quite a few shots from the minifiends to get through my shield

not sure if the turrets/drones do more damage, also got to watch for unstable containers, cold, life support, and your own grenades

[formal thunder]

Noob question- I know we spawn in with a freighter but I can't seem to get mine to come. I encountered a new freighter, should I just get the new freighter

[waxen shuttle]

you should be able to summon your freighter? Just don't be too close to things like planets or other freighters/ships/etc.

also you'd need to pay for the new one

[formal thunder]

Hm weird.. let me try again

And you're right didn't realize I'd have to pay for the new one

[waxen shuttle]

and the first one won't even be a capital freighter

[lusty slate]

If you're on Switch, the cape is swapped for quicksilver. (Switch doesn't have capes)

[native bloom]

Thinking of starting my run soon. What class are the memory fragments at now?

[muted iris]

So characters on the expedition are set to semi-permadeath even after you complete all the expedition milestones right?

[muted iris]

I think A

[viral yacht]

Cant get past shattered past... everytime i pulse around it tells me to come out of pulse.. it then doesnt find anything and asks me to pulse around again.. it then never finds anything and i have to reload..

[muted iris]

Hmm. I remember it should take you eventually to a derelict freighter I think. Trying to remember if there was something I did before I found mine today

[viral yacht]

Wonder if i jump to another system and then try?

[muted iris]

Oh strangely enough I think that I had to have the mission selected? I just followed the instructions after clicking on A Shattered Past then the quest it took me to on the milestones

But before that it wouldn't for me I don't think

[viral yacht]

Ive selected it etc. Seems to be bugging out in me. Also breaks my save temporarily where i cant summon my freighter in after it bugs out. I then have to reload my save

[serene kettle]

What system are you using? I know on Xbox One, it sometimes takes a little while for the freighter to appear.

[viral yacht]

It appeared once i jumped. Thank god.

[muted iris]

Nice!

Any pros know the answer to my question that I asked before??

[hexed oak]

Are activated stellar elements a sign of storm crystals?

I remember there's a way to tell when a planet will have them...

[native bloom]

Yes, because of the optional milestones, the save won't auto convert until the end of the expedition

[muted iris]

Hmm... Okay. So I need to be extra careful until then not to lose everything

[native bloom]

I think after you finish though, dying doesn't do the same effect. Don't trust me on that though 🙂

[muted iris]

I can tell you now definitively Gumsk-- we're on A class rn

[native bloom]

Thank you

[muted iris]

Just made some memories

Yw

[native bloom]

I'm waiting until at least S. Seems like we might not make X

[muted iris]

I remember hearing something like that. Don't remember if that's the truth though.

Oh wow there was an X rank one?

What governs us making it there?

[hexed oak]

X rank sounds like chaos

[native bloom]

Activated minerals are required for storm crystals but not sufficient, I believe

The x class in the expedition are bumped up to be better

[hexed oak]

Oh, good ^.^

[native bloom]

But they reroll when the expedition ends

[hexed oak]

D:

[native bloom]

So probably better to get the s class

Though they did beef up x class in general just after leviathan I think

[muted iris]

How can I contribute to it going faster? By making memories?

[native bloom]

I believe you do turn stuff in to polo

[muted iris]

Then I just need to turn in stuff every hour I'm awake for 5 days straight. We'll make Tier 5. XD

I forget why the memories are even all that great cept for unlocking stuff that's locked inside the expedition itself

Do we get to keep all this emergency signal scanners after the event ends? The like 10s of millions worth I have?

[native bloom]

Can't think of any reason they would go away

[muted iris]

wow so for the characters we make for this at least... a good reason to farm them for the life of these characters after

[sly pond]

@muted iris Indeed, the 1st time around that wasnt as appealing to anyone without interest in playing Survival mode lol

[muted iris]

True, D. True. Lol.

[warm frigate]

Honestly the best way to do expeditions is to wait until they get re-ran so that they are easier

[stoic pasture]

Grinding for that sweet cape, only to remember that body type 5 causes the jetpack to clip through the cape

[hexed oak]

Looking for pirate systems, and I don't see a Azlichin star near the first point. Do I need to install a scanner to even see stars controlled by pirates?

Ok, how the heck did they get a screenshot of Azlichin as a red star? It's clearly a yellow star in my star map, which is why I was overlooking it.

[sly pond]

@hexed oak You need it to identify outlaw stars, but you can see and warp to them without

As for the screenshot, that's with a filter applied, economy type iirc

Actually my mistake, on 2nd look I believe it's one of the colour assist filters that can be applied in options - there's several options that change natural star colours for those with various types of colour blindness.

[hexed oak]

Ah, fun. I thought it was a mod that makes star colors more saturated -- there is or was one.

In any case, glad I found it

[obsidian ridge]

hey guys. ive been stuck for a while, started the expedition, only died twice but cant reach the 2nd point cause i dont have the hyper drive. turned in tons of stuff but mostly i get upgrades for the tool, not the drives

[finite rover]

"Bounds Testing" gets you a pre-packaged hyperdrive unit. If you got that quest check your inventory for a black and white tech item.

[obsidian ridge]

That's the one to turn off the sentinels?

[finite rover]

nah

That's assisting polo. 1st item, 2nd row, iteration one quests

[hexed oak]

He's talking about the emeril drive to go to the green star

[finite rover]

oops :)

runs off to eat something. :)

[hexed oak]

I unlocked the emeril drive blueprint with nanites. Someone mentioned that it's possible to find the tech in a crashed ship

[finite rover]

Ahh yes. Scan fauna on planets. Good pay-off for little risk.

[hard falcon]

if I already have a living frigate is there anything worth doing this expedition for?

I'm just salty a bit cos twice died on the way to fifh anchor and don't wanna do it again 😦

[fringe agate]

The qs reward maybe

[hard falcon]

Nah I'm good haha fun expedition for the most part tho, 5 hours and died getting back in my ship in a storm lol back to the beach 😦

[hard falcon]

Hahahahah

[patent canyon]

I just did an experiment and found out that for the objective of taming aggressive creature, it can be any predator. Not just the one hunting player. As I have tamed one eating another animal. And it now hunted down another predator (another animal species) actually hunting me.

[finite rover]

next time dig and wait out the storm.

or did and then dig towards your ship under the surface as the storm rages above. works rather well in most cases.

[indigo falcon]

that's mentioned in the pins in here btw, a planet and predator that work (not hostile to player) 😉 but glad you found one!

80% of the way to getting S memory fragment upgrades for everyone and S class gear for new/repeat spawn-ins!

[wraith junco]

Keeping exp save is so tempting when you can quickly deck out your backpack, ship inv with S modules

[indigo falcon]

isn't it though, quick way to have a survival mode save with all S stuff

[wraith junco]

Still have my old leviathan exp save becaise i got cool looking solar ship

[finite rover]

nice. still wondering whether to go for S or X with my multitudes of unopened tech.

[indigo falcon]

could do S and get yourself squared away, then do X and sell them off unless they are hazard prot, then see if they are any good

[finite rover]

don't they get their stats on opening?

[indigo falcon]

well you open enough memory fragments at S tier (soon) to get yourself all upgraded

then hold off on the rest

open them when we reach X and sell off the ones that aren't hazard, see if you luck out and get good ones of those

[sly pond]

@finite rover Yes, but not as a function of RNG. If you were to install a sequence of any number of mods of any type and class, reload, and then install the same mods in the same sequence, the 2 sets would be identical.

[finite rover]

yeah. that's what i was thinking

[native bloom]

The x-class from the expedition are special too in that they will change stats when the save converts to a normal save

[finite rover]

oh?

[jagged vine]

How do you get ancestral memories?

[finite rover]

feed animals and then milk them for their memories

[jagged vine]

I can walk up to a dinosaur and feed it to steal its memories

[finite rover]

more or less

[jagged vine]

Nice

[indigo falcon]

instead of getting milk or eggs you have the option to harvest memories as well

works exactly the same way

[jagged vine]

That makes sense

[waxen shuttle]

missed opportunity for this command to use the NMS grave marker rather than a tombstone

[indigo falcon]

needs to fit the rip text and the avatar on it tho

[placid dew]

I mean, the No Man's Sky's grave marker doesn't have engraved names, so what's your point?

[waxen shuttle]

yeah you'd probably need to make the name/pfp holographic or something if you wanted to use the NMS grave marker

[serene canyon]

logged on again and the nanite prices r doubled

terrified

[indigo falcon]

doubled since when?

[wraith raptor]

Hey guys what happens when i die in expedition but have already completed act 3( like first 3 of the main chapters) for example

Does it restart only chapter 4 or everything?

[indigo falcon]

well some things are lost and some are not; I would suggest first reading the pin 'persistence after death' to see about that, but then if you are looking to minimize losses, check the 'getting things done' pin also

[jagged vine]

Any tips on how to beat this expedition?

[indigo falcon]

there's a bunch of tips in the pins. I'd take a close look at those

[indigo falcon]

huh it appears that teleporting to the entrance on a derelict from a room with hostiles no longer despawns them, that's pretty entertaining (not tested by me, just saw it on a short video though)

[rose shell]

Stockpile resources, use the technologies and blueprints that completing the expedition milestones will net you

Follow guides on youtube and in the pinned messages of this chat

I was able to clear it without any deaths aside from the one needed for hermetic seal crafting and the one that happens at the end of the expedition.

[waxen shuttle]

could also be reliant on distance

[serene canyon]

in like the expedition

[zealous nest]

It has also been reported that the system derelict SV Ihonjot XVII in the Anchor 3 System (Satands) has only jellyfish,

Can confirm if not already

[indigo falcon]

awesome, yeah I didn't get around to it yet

updated pin to remove all the 'not verified' language.

[spiral tinsel]

Yo

[indigo falcon]

lo

[finite rover]

sounds like I did my derelict the hard way :)

[sudden anchor]

I have never had trouble with storm crystals but now i am…how do i find storm crystals?

Also minotar is a game changer

[ocean gorge]

There’s some systems listed in the pins

None of the anchor worlds have storm crystals so you’ll have to make a short diversion

Personally I found it easiest to go to one of the worlds that’s marked as having storm crystals, park my starship next to where I saw at least two of those “natural curiosity” stones that during an extreme storm become storm crystals, wait until a storm happened, and grabbed them and got out of there as fast as possible

[sudden anchor]

Ty

[sudden anchor]

WOOO

FINISHED!!!

And only had to restart once!!

[native bloom]

Congrats

Are we at S-class gear yet?

[sudden anchor]

In main save or in the expedition?

[real walrus]

How do you participate in this? Sounds cool but no idea what it is

[native bloom]

Choose Play Game, then New Game, then Community Expedition. You then get a series of tasks to do to finish the expedition. When you finish certain groups of tasks, you get rewards that can be claimed on any save.

This expedition is one of the hardest though and is a rogue-like. When you die, you lose almost everything and have to start over, so you have to be very careful

[real walrus]

oooh ok!

i might try it out

[rocky valve]

uhh

how do I obtain an hermetic seal?

Just started leviathan

[native bloom]

Die. I know that sounds stupid, but check the milestones

[rocky valve]

damn okay

[ocean gorge]

One death is mandatory, get it out of the way as soon as you can. After that, try not to die because you lose everything, well except your freighter and bases you make, but all milestones and inventory and tech and so on, there’s a few things you can keep if you make it thru All of phase 5 but you can read in pins about what persists and doesn’t (it’s semi-permadeath)

[iron radish]

@viscid bison

[indigo falcon]

S gear for all new spawnins (this includes after death), and S class memory upgrades, woo hoo!

[finite rover]

THE TIME OF DECISIONING IS AT HAND! :)

[meager scroll]

Wondering if that applies to fragments from original run

Last time I checked it stoped at A class for me

[sudden anchor]

Wait I get to keep some stuff..?

[indigo falcon]

I imagine it only applies to fragments newly opened now in expedition mode.

[scarlet ocean]

It's not "Permadeath" permadeath. You get to keep your bases and freighter. Just not the things that are inside the containers or inventory.

[ancient pivot]

Interesting... i did a freighter

derelict.

ended up with like 4 stacks of somnal dust

and once turned in that became 20 emergency scanners

spend one, gain 19? PROFIT

suppose you can abuse that hard to farm freighter modules

[finite rover]

that's the point I think.

once you survive the expedition you're basically set as far as the rest of the game goes

you just have to feed polo

[indigo falcon]

it's an expedition perk, you're intended to have a leg up on this save. doooo iiiiit!

[finite rover]

feed da beak!

[placid dew]

I wish I could transfer these Emergency Signal Scanners to my Permadeath main save (where I needed it the most), but we all know that these game modes run on separate instances....

So many Emergency Signal Scanners, so little of use in this expedition.

[fringe agate]

You kind of can when you finish

If you have a middleman

You could change the difficulty of the expedition save (when completed) to permadeath

Still need someone to hold them though

[placid dew]

Wait, you can change to "Save deleted" upon death? I thought you can only set it during new game creation.

[fringe agate]

I haven't tried it, but I was under the impression that unless you lock the settings (which they probably are in expeditions) you can change that at any time.

[placid dew]

And besides... I've already locked my difficulty lmao.

[fringe agate]

[inland dock]

Will the community hit loop 4/5 before the expedition ends? Looks unlikely

[placid dew]

Here's my (previous) Expedition 6 save file difficulty settings, which I haven't changed or locked my difficulty... yet.

[fringe agate]

Yeah, it won't let you change that until it is over- Expeditions do their own thing

But if you change that preset

[placid dew]

Expedition 6 is already over.

[fringe agate]

Aye, the normal preset is stopping a save deletion

See if you can change that to perma

[placid dew]

Changing the preset only gives you: Normal, Creative, Relaxed, Survival. No permadeath.
Also, you get this when you try to click on the button:

[fringe agate]

Oich

Ouch

Sad times

[placid dew]

I thought you know a legit way to convert any saves to Permadeath, but no....

[fringe agate]

I'm surprised tbh, the way it's phrased you can change whatever, whenever

I guess that excludes perma

[placid dew]

Here's my personal advice to you: Try it out for yourself and see if it works, before you state it out.

[fringe agate]

Or state that I haven't tried it.

Thanks though

[placid dew]

I'll just keep these items for now. Maybe give it out to players for free in case anyone needs it.

You know, injecting a fresh supply of Emergency Signal Scanners to the No Man's Sky's Normal Mode Economy™️....

<: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.

[sly pond]

Initially you could switch to PD, but it was either a bug, else HG quickly realized that the large majority of players who play it are against anything that lessens the challenge - the ability to start a save in Creative and get yourself all kitted out prior to switching over to PD would have obliterated its appeal.

[fringe agate]

Eh, people worry too much about what other people are doing - how does that possibly affect anything more than say a save editor does?

Let them change whatever

[sly pond]

I agree with you, I love HG as a company, but the fact that they value the playerbase's input is a double-edged sword. This is one of those times where it's cutting the wrong way. But to my mind, the post-Outlaws Solar colour debacle was the worst.

[formal thunder]

I finished all 5 phases, only box left unchecked is to make the game into a regular save file. How do I do this?

[finite rover]

I was arguing this a week or so ago. Maybe badly but this was it. :)

[patent canyon]

I have just noticed a bizzare 🐛 - I have magically got a Freighter, even though I had to escape from all space battles due being insanely hard. And as the messages about gaining it started after a derelict one suddenly popped in front of me, I think that the game somehow thinks that with Derelict freighter I got a real one, or WTF happened. Maybe it's just one of many multiplayer 🐛 s.

But thanks to it, I got a free freighter.

But it doesn't feel much Leviathan.

[finite rover]

you start the game with a freighter

the derelict is a legit random encounter. :)

[patent canyon]

Nice.

[short sierra]

Don't feel bad my derelict random encounter was right in front of the first space station entrance

[patent canyon]

Mine was easy though - there were only turrets which could be easily avoided. And for drones I used shield + normal gun. And there were also Jellyfishes.

It was at the Anchor point 2 star system.

[finite rover]

nice.

I got the whole enchilada. I've never recharged my shields and stuff as often as I did then. so much sodium...

[short sierra]

Hopefully you already died the first time.

[patent canyon]

Of course.

As I usually check the Expedition objectives before starting to do that.

I learned that since my first Expedition, Exobiology.

Especially with that 💩 collecting part there, which was in the further stage, but was the best to do after the creature photo and feeding one.

And in Leviathan it's wise, as the first star system already has Sentinel Boundary.

With a base built there.

So far the hardest challenge of the expedition for me are the space s. They are so strong on Leviathan. I can defeat one, but I had to escape from more than one.

Now I have finally won my first space battle.

[short sierra]

Exobiology I joined 3 days before the end of redux. Barely finished with couple hrs to spare

[patent canyon]

It was mostly RNG based (with objectives like finding the damn Striders with their eggs).

Similar with Leviathan though (looking at the storm crystals part).

So far I have found no planet with storm crystals.

[indigo falcon]

(see pins if you want)

[patent canyon]

Interesting is that while starting the game at Beyond time, there were storm crystals almost everywhere.

Idk if I was lucky, or if they were nerfed.

Now at Leviathan I don't see any.

[indigo falcon]

they aren't nerfed, if anything you are more likely to run into bad weather in survival mode

[patent canyon]

Yet there are no Activated resources, where the crystals are supposed to spawn.

And in planets where I was during storms, there were no crystals.

While Leviathan should have survival mode on... 🤔

So it feels opposite to me.

As I ran into the storm crystals more in normal mode.

[short sierra]

Everyone has problems with crystal mission. But after that it's a breeze to finish leviathan.

[indigo falcon]

in normal mode you weren't following a specific route all of the time I guess

[patent canyon]

Yep. All other missions are easy for me.

[patent canyon]

Now I am jumping around the route and still find nothing.

[indigo falcon]

here HG has chosed the anchor systems ahead of time

[patent canyon]

So is trolling us again...

[indigo falcon]

that's why a few worlds are pinned. but you'll find some just exploring too

[patent canyon]

But yep. We can see how the systems and planets are discovered by HG.

I wonder though if they were themselves somehow searching for the systems, or if they pre-generated/made them themselves.

[indigo falcon]

they don't generate the systems, no. but I am sure they can do some smart searching that we cannot do

[main ginkgo]

whats the fastest way to get the emeril drive in the expedition?

[viral latch]

grr I finally finish this damn expedition and now I'm just getting steam cloud error can't sync my save..

[viral latch]

you just buy it from the hyperion dude on the anomaly

[main ginkgo]

gotcha. i wasnt sure if it was dropped from a memory fragment or not

[viral latch]

nah sell something from a fragment to cover the cost of it. you're not short of nanites on this one

[indigo falcon]

now all new memory fragments are S so you're going to get more for selling them off too

[viral latch]

I just used the portal at R1 to go straight to an inferno planet with regular storms to grab a couple and then portaled back

[fluid nest]

How challenging are derelict freighters? I have never been in one before

[viral latch]

not at all if you know what to expect. it's gonna be really cold, and some things there will try and kill you. shoot them, find heaters and turn them on, explore slowly.

[waxen shuttle]

can this actually be converted to a permadeath once it's done or only survival? Since isn't it just normal survival once you break the loop?

[fluid nest]

Thank you

[waxen shuttle]

are nasty, I've ended up taking on like 3 of them but I had to recharge my shields multiple times

[patent canyon]

You need to be equipped to recharge your hazard protection, life support and some weapon. As you can evade some enemies by stealth, but there are some to fight. But I find the Derelict freighters usually easy, when compared against other enemies of the expedition, like space 🏴‍☠️ s.

[waxen shuttle]

we need derelict freighters where while you're in the middle of them the derelict gets boarded by space pirates and you have to fight them in the derelict

for an extra challenge

actually even just ground pirates in general as another enemy type

[indigo falcon]

it only converts to a survival mode save

[viscid bison]

The solar ray gives me nothing? Am I doing something wrong? It says mine terrain and then liquid sun comes out but nothing comes out

[indigo falcon]

you need to mine actual mineral deposits just like with the terrain manipulator

are you doing that?

[viscid bison]

No, thank you, it just said to mine terrain so i thought everything, thank you!

[indigo falcon]

ah, that would be ver nice but no, you do have to do a little work first 😉

[glass stump]

Where can I find an easy derelict freighter to run?

[ocean gorge]

Check the pins

[ocean gorge]

#nms-expedition message

The info is in there

[glass stump]

Thanks

[cosmic quail]

Does anyone wanna play with me?

[fervent umbra]

Trying to sit down a base computer at the second anchor point but there's all these communication stations and it's saying I can't place a base computer within an existing base. I have multiplayer disabled and I don't want to report all the bases that have been set up here so is there an easier way to do it?

[indigo falcon]

try getting a little aways away, 1000u or so and just note which direction you went so you can easily get back to the portal

[fervent umbra]

F this ap2 grave holy crap

[indigo falcon]

uh oh 😄

I think that's the worst one on the redux, in the original it was ap4, which meant players had already put a ton of effort in by the time they got there...

[fringe agate]

So build on ap2

✅

[muted iris]

I've finished the expedition twice. Anyone have any ideas of things I should take advantage of before the expedition ends?

[fervent patrol]

ends in three days right

[muted iris]

yeah I believe so

[fervent patrol]

gather up as many memory fragments and items from this expedition and transfer them all to ur main on the last day

[muted iris]

Cool. 🙂 Thanks.

[indigo falcon]

get all those sweet S upgrades (from new/unopened memory fragments). run the Satands derelict a ton of times and collect up all the signal scanners Polo gives you

[granite delta]

Any suggestions on worlds for finding a predator to tame and storm crystals? These are all inhabe left. 😞

[crimson rose]

Did you complete Expedition 3?

[muted iris]

On the first planet for me there was a rare animal that was hostile.

[granite delta]

No, this is my first expedition

[muted iris]

An acidic planet. I think different player regions start on different planets tho

[granite delta]

I started on low mano, something like that

@crimson rose no, i saw something about using that pet though.

[muted iris]

Was there an animal like this there?

[indigo falcon]

there's info in the pins, see the 'locations' pin for both of those

[indigo falcon]

everyone starts on the same world in this expedition and that's the norm

[muted iris]

Okay well... then just FYI my hostile creature came from the starting planet.

But I think it was 'rare.' You should still be able to find it after some time though.

The one I showed you up there isn't hostile.

[indigo falcon]

the creature name and description is in the 'locations' pin in here

[muted iris]

Ohh gotcha

[granite delta]

@indigo falcon thank you

[glass stump]

Can you do this after the last day, and does transfer require a third party?

[fervent patrol]

you cant gather them after the expedition unless ur just crafting crap tons of base memory fragments (since i was referring to the overall all mem frags) and the transfer does require a third party

[indigo falcon]

you will want to have opened the memory fragments before the expedition ends

I believe unopened ones will revert to C class afterwards

[patent canyon]

I got surprised - around the expedition route I found unmapped planets.

So I landed on one, then scanned almost all animals, but as nothing can be perfect, I have found that the last one is "rare underwater, Found in the North".

And that animal did stand between me and 2 500 bonus.

[ocean gorge]

It’s usually the underground (especially the uncommon and rare underground ones) that sometimes I can’t find. They make the underground ones tricky, there are some helpful tips to find them, but still I can sometimes give up even being a patient person I am lol

[lusty slate]

I scanned everything on the starter planet to buy the emeril drive blueprint. The rare underwater gave me grief, took an hour+ to track it down. :/

[ocean gorge]

For the rare underwater ones, I try to find the biggest most open ocean part of the planet, so if I’m on the side that’s land or mostly land with just some large lakes, I get up into space and pulse over to the other side (or if there’s one that’s found only in north or south and I’m on the wrong side, I go to the other side obviously) but overall I try and find where there’s just open ocean and very few little pockets of land to place the starship down on. Because the rare ones are easiest to find (in my experience) in the deeper more open parts of open ocean. It might take me idk 10-20 minutes, but usually on the shorter side of that, if I get into nice section of open water. I usually don’t have luck in lakes, even if they’re pretty big.

[median ember]

Whats the command for exp help

[ocean gorge]

#nms-expedition message
@median ember
This has the deadlines, which is what I was referring to a moment ago

[median ember]

48 hours before?!

I did say that. 🤔

[mighty flint]

Does calling the leviathan end the loop/kill me

or am I safe to do the sentinel part at the very end

I should of waited for a answer

rip

Oh nevermind it ended well

[glass stump]

Didn't know you could craft Mem frags

[whole linden]

Where can I find a hostile creature to adopt?

[fervent patrol]

in the expedition you can

[glass stump]

Ahh, OK

[ocean gorge]

You can check the pins, the planet you start on has a creature that counts, it’s hostile to other creatures but not hostile to you

[glass stump]

OK, what am I missing. Trying to get to AP #2 and it requires an Emeril drive. I don't see any rewards that give you the plans or Cadium. Do I need to buy the plans and find the Cad?

[whole linden]

Ok

[ocean gorge]

You need to sell some of your tech modules, ones you don’t need, such as some of the exocraft modules, for nanites, and you’ll need to buy the cadmium and emeril drive modules at the anomaly yourself, yes it’s expensive, but it’s unfortunately not something they gave us
Don’t bother with upgrading the freighter’s drive, just upgrade your ship @glass stump

You only need chromatic metal for the cadmium drive, but you’ll need to make a stop over to get cadmium for the emeril

[glass stump]

OK< thanks. I have the Cad drive BP, and have 950 nanties, so not far off.

[ocean gorge]

Seems like both times on Xbox one and PS5 I went to a red star system that was named Cadmium but misspelled lol, like Camdium or something, and i was ok, nothing killed me (forget which planet I went to, but that was the system name, I remember because they misspelled Cadmium lol)

Oh I found it, the system I went to, in case it helps, including the planet I went to (just FYI). It might even be in your list, idk @glass stump

[glass stump]

Does it have a warpable base, and which AP is it close to? And thanks!!

[ocean gorge]

I don’t think I uploaded that base, sorry😔

[muted iris]

My least favorite thing about this expedition-- it gives you some default freighter that sucks

That forces you to pay for the first one you like that you find

[iron radish]

you dont need to do anything with the freighter

[ocean gorge]

Well you’re supposed to play through the expedition with the crappy one it gives you, and not buy a new one until maybe you convert your save when the expedition is over, because if you died while the expedition is going on, you’d lose everything stored in the freighter anyway (you lose all your inventory). So you’d keep the freighter but nothing in/on it, so investing in the freighter itself doesn’t make a lot of sense, it’s really just to give you a floating base, that’s all, in case you do want to store stuff

[muted iris]

That's the answer I was looking for. Thank you.

Makes sense

[iron radish]

also take into consideration this expedition needs you to conserve units

you wont be earning much more than 10 million in total

[ocean gorge]

Because everything you’d normally unlock to build a base at the anomaly costs 10X as much buried salvage, so even a teleporting module which normally costs 2 salvaged data, costs 20 salvaged data, and some things are locked at the anomaly, the freighter however has cargo boxes unlocked, so you can build those and refiners there

I used my freighter, and the anomaly, and space stations, all to get out of any sort of space battles to avoid any risk of death I could

Better to be alive than brave and dead😂

[ancient pivot]

really? i just went to a aggressive sentinels planet and did my thing

[iron radish]

unless you actively grind out units you wont be earning much more than that without putting urself into a risky situation

[ancient pivot]

like idk if this is really a thing but i found that the way to get stupid rich fast easily is to get on a aggressive sentinels planet (almost always have eggs or gravitino balls everywhere)

dig a hole for cover

and just shoot the sentinels until they fuck off

then fill your inv with the goodies

i do this literally at the start of the game usually

[spark crown]

hey so i need to get to anchor point 2 but need the Emeril drive how did yall go about getting it?

[sudden anchor]

I had so many units when i was done lol

Piracy is easily the most profitable way of doing stuff

[ancient pivot]

buy it from the anomaly?

[spark crown]

sorry i know that but how do you get nanites quick to do so i was looking for tips mainly

[ancient pivot]

one of the objectives has you collect these eggs right? try refining them

a infested building will get you a bunch, complete your task and once refined give you a nice payday in nanites

[spark crown]

oh bet thanks ill go try that

[pastel star]

you can also sell some of the techs you get from the rewards or memories. dont really need any for the vehicles and at this point they should be S tier i think, and those sell nicely

[ancient pivot]

i keep forgetting thats also a option

[spark crown]

where do you sell tech at? i got the game last monday for secret santa and dont really know where to go for that

[ancient pivot]

the same vendors on space stations you buy techs from

[spark crown]

oh bet thanks!

[iron radish]

are any of them expedition exclusive

[ocean gorge]

Tech modules aren’t expedition-exclusive, not that I know of

[fallow flare]

Does anyone in here on ps4 that have completed all of the expedition in NMS and has all the rewards from phase 1 to to phase 8

[ocean gorge]

That’s an oddly specific question to ask

If you’re looking for something in particular, idk, maybe check #nms-lfg-or-trades

[indigo falcon]

this is cross-platform so if you're looking for assistance in game from another player, they don't need to be ps4 necessarily

[indigo falcon]

sometimes they are, like the Singularity Engine from Polestar.

[shut plank]

From NMS official website, it says this tech is released as Endurance update, not as expedition exclusive inside the Expedition 8 - Polestar. So, I’m kinda confused actually.

[indigo falcon]

it's not available in the regular game, only for expedition saves at this point.

[patent canyon]

I still keep finding unmapped star systems near the expedition route. Though it's red and green stars, so probably people don't go there due not having right engine.

[fluid cloud]

Hi i like help compleing expedition route was shot down in space and had to restart

[placid dew]

was shot down in space and had to restart
RIP

[finite rover]

when you start getting scanned, bring up the anomaly and go hide.

if you warp into a battle, run for the space station.

[placid dew]

When in doubt, summon and enter the Space Anomaly.

[fluid cloud]

ya i should of tho my sail was shot up no weapons and shield shot up

[placid dew]

Here's a good advice: The Space Anomaly solves all your problems in the game.
Want to meet up with other travellers? Meet them in the Space Anomaly.
In a combat and you're running out of sodium to recharge shields? Space Anomaly.
Hostile sub-scan detected? Don't answer the pirates, Space Anomaly to the rescue!
Smuggling a contraband and system authority starts scanning you? Space Anomaly.
Gained some heat and Sentinel Interceptors are on your tail? Space Anomaly.
Need to use a teleporter? Skip the space station, just go to Space Anomaly.
Shot few cargo pods and don't want to deal with the hostile ships? Space Anomaly.
Running out of pulse engine fuel or pulse engine offline due to hostile in range? Space Anomaly.
Don't know what to do in this game? Space Anomaly.

[patent canyon]

Also if you have tons of , get emergency warp drive from The Anomaly, as the last resort escape.

That allows you to warp to the random star system even during battle.

[fluid cloud]

i don't have a lot of nanites atm

about to lunch game and hope i make it to the end.

[patent canyon]

Good luck.

[finite rover]

fauna scanning is a nice way to fix that.

[fluid cloud]

that plant or animal wither way need better scanner upgrades i perfer class s and ther not cheap in this game mode

[candid token]

1 day remaining on the expedition. And we are only to tier 4 at 25% 😢
I doubt we will make it all the way through to full tier 5 completion in 1 day. 😭

[fluid cloud]

its the smugging part that worrys me

[patent canyon]

And 3 days on the existing save.

[patent canyon]

Smuggling - I have managed to find a system when randomly jumping around. But yep. That needs the economy scanner or conflict one.

And tech is expensive in Leviathan.

For me the biggest problem are now the storm crystals - I have jumped through more systems and yet no one has them. I'll have to use the guide.

[tired vortex]

I'm completely out of carbon, oxygen, dihydrogen, and DH jelly. My life support is drained, and I've basically been hoping to and from the space anomaly to try to find some base that has any of these things. Advice?

[sturdy sorrel]

Any ideas how to get to Washeyu-Hebe for the leviathan expedition? it's telling me I need an Emeril drive

[tired vortex]

Have you collected nanites and researched the needed tech? I ended up selling multiple exosuit upgrades at a space station to get there, and then set up a base on a planet that has cadmium.

Exocraft upgrades*

[sturdy sorrel]

Bingo, thanks I forgot to check the anomalynvendors

[sudden anchor]

Storm crystals were definitely a pain

[ancient pivot]

if i completed every task and got my levi frigate, do i still need to worry about permadeath?

[indigo falcon]

no, you have broken the loop! you'e now operating in survival mode more or less

[indigo falcon]

one thing you could do is see about dihy jellies from npcs at a space station, might take awhile for one to roll in that has them but who cares

if you are lucky your freighter might have a cultivation room where you can gather carbon. some space station back rooms have carbon too

i.e. plants you can grab it from by searching

[cosmic quail]

Is there someone that’s decently experienced to play with?

[whole linden]

Which planet has a hostile creature?

Give me names

[south crown]

Starting planet, any that feed on organs when you scan them

[whole linden]

Ok

The starting planet is Lowest Mano, right?

[tired vortex]

Any others? I can't seem to find the starting system in my discoveries.

[whole linden]

Must be the first one

[tired vortex]

No dice, I must have accidentally clicked F on it at some point.

Really annoying me.

Gonna take an anchor portal back I guess.

[limpid moth]

Yay finally completed the expeditiom

🥳

[hot blade]

How to do the optional milestones?
I’ve only done two and don’t know how

Oh do I just sell Polo the three items he wants each time?

[ancient pivot]

its a community effort

you can help with that by doing that yes, but your invidual effort is unlikely to move the needle

that said, you should have #3 also

[obsidian ridge]

can someone help get a legup on the expedition? i died to a stupid space fight after being almost getting the emeril drive for the second time, restarted, and when i think i can do some advancement, i get all my tech destroyed, fix it all up just to a stupid pirate fight destroy all of it again as i come out of my capital ship

t-t i just want to get it done

[sturdy sorrel]

Call the Anomaly and land on it to get away from pirates

[obsidian ridge]

i know that NOW. i was just wondering if someone could carry me to the point of no reset or something . cause i dont think at my rate ill be able to fdarm all stuff up again.

[vestal spruce]

I got all acchievements except of one. I'm struggling to find storm crystals

I'm on the last planet Yardogo XVII which has storms, but no storm crystals

[short sierra]

got to wait on storm got the mech?

[vestal spruce]

So i should summon the mech and waut on that planet?

[short sierra]

yes, storm will send you flying to ur death

you can collect the storm crystal with the suit without getting out.

[vestal spruce]

Oh, that was easy

I cannot do upgrades on my Minotaurus

[short sierra]

Some I could some I couldn't build a base and storage unit slam them in it.

otherwise sell them

[hot blade]

I’m on dat switch baybee

[hot blade]

So as soon as I connected to Discovery Services, that third optional milestone completed itself

[ruby orchid]

Excited to jump into tbe next expedition, no way I'll get anything done joining this one

[obsidian ridge]

im trying to speedrun just to get the leviathan. hoping that by using the tips here i can do it

[ruby orchid]

I could try, but being new to nms overall, I don't think I'd get it in time

[safe tapir]

Assistance with finding downed freighter?

[iron finch]

My percentage is stuck at the optional challenge, I spent hours to farm and gave everything to Polo but still 18% only?!
Is that a bug

[strange zinc]

ngl, kinda sad completing the redux... thought I could maybe get 2 squidies since I di9d the original one too

[spark crown]

Can anyone let me join their group that has a base on a planet with storm crystals?

[glass stump]

Or can someone upload a base on a planet with storm crystals

[glass stump]

I think that is a community thing, and only moves with z whole lot of people doing it.

[spark crown]

yeah that would be great i just need to do that and i can finish out 3 and do 4 and 5

[iron finch]

thanks! but i dont get it im playing this solo who would be in my community? and also i dont see anything about that like why dont they explain it o.o

[glass stump]

There us one in the starter sys and it has a base. Scrool through the teleporter listing

[glass stump]

Can't say, just what I thought I saw earlier.

[iron finch]

hm its confusing and idk how to complete it still really XD ...

but thanks for tellign me so i dont have to waste another hours for nothing XD

[ebon leaf]

how longs left?

<: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.

[obsidian ridge]

guys. i got to the abandoned ship, on the last part of the expedition

is it normal to have no heaters?

theres at least two rooms where i cant find them

[hot blade]

So the Anchor Points don’t work as normal portals?

Just wasted all my bits charging AP 5 up

[safe tapir]

Was on set 5 and died

God help me

Soooo, how much time is left for current expedition?

[hot blade]

Till Thursday iirc

[hot blade]

Did you make a base at each anchor?
Bases persist after power naps

[safe tapir]

no ;-;

That is seven hours down the drain

[hot blade]

All the anchors are in the pinned message here and there are mold farms by now to make progression a bit easier

[safe tapir]

I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it, but this is so depressing. This is exactly why I hate permadeath games and gamemodes.

[hot blade]

Yeah I feel that
Trying very hard not to die before the final deal

I recommend getting a ton of silver, di-hydrogen and gold for refiner rooms on your freighter

[ocean gorge]

This was so much more stressful an expedition than was necessary. I feel your pain @safe tapir I died once after so much work on my PS5 save (this was before any of the community milestones too, so all starting “memory” tech was B class, unlike it being S class now). I should’ve waited some tbh, but I was so salty about the whole losing progress (I knew inventory was lost, but losing progress too was just rude imo) I made a new save & started over. Luckily I made it through without anymore deaths (well other than the one at the end but that doesn’t really count)

[solemn badge]

How do I start an expedition?

[dry spade]

Make a new save, and select Community Expedition as the game mode

Current one ends in a day btw, so you might not have time unless you really grind

[safe tapir]

Correction, you have one more day to start it, but until Thursday to complete it.

[dry spade]

Oh, my B

[solemn badge]

can I get a living ship on my main save?

without the void egg?

[hot blade]

Sorry about your save

[safe tapir]

It's all good, I can do a bit more tonight and finish the rest tomorrow.

[tired vortex]

So stressful indeed. I lost a ton of progress as well after death. This is my first expedition, and it is turning me off from the whole thing. Not to mention how glitchy everything is and confusing all of the systems are. I had no idea until about 100 hours in that base components are personal to you, i.e., all storage containers contain your items no matter where they are (planetside, freighter, another person's base, etc.)

And how the multiplayer aspects of the game affect you.

don't get me wrong, I love the game

[quick berry]

Started and finished Leviathan today. Solid 6:47 gameplay. I think this was one of my favorites.

[wraith venture]

Only the current expedition is a pseudo Permadeath, at the end of the event, it'll convert to Survival @inner skiff

[inner skiff]

Alr

[rocky valve]

how do i get to the second anchor point?

am at the system, but it doesn't tell me what to do from there on

[obsidian ridge]

you need to buy the plans for the emeryl drive at the anomaly and then build it.

[rocky valve]

ok

[cosmic quail]

Anyone wanna play with me?

I need help understanding a few things and getting a few things

[glass stump]

To do the smuglling milestone, do you need to go to a pirate system, or just sell Nip nip or something?

[glass stump]

Good for you. 14 hours and still working. NOT my favorite.

[tired vortex]

Selling nip worked for me.

[glass stump]

At any station?

[tired vortex]

Yes, in a system that is not outlaw

[glass stump]

OK, now to buy the glove. Thanks.

Or do you need the gglove for nip nip

[tired vortex]

Find a modular spherical farm and use the harvest all. I just finished the expedition and got the glove, so I didn't use it at all.

[rocky valve]

am still struggling to find the 2nd anchor point

am at the planet, but the pin is gone

[tired vortex]

Do you have the mission selected from the expedition tab?

[rocky valve]

yeah

[tired vortex]

Huh. That's odd.

[rocky valve]

nvm now its working

[quasi copper]

Is there something I'm missing about how to move on mountainous planets? I'm on Ninarb S13 trying to get to the memory location, and I've spent the last hour going up and down a couple of hills. Couldn't land my ship anywhere near it because the terrain was too vertical.

[glass stump]

Jet ppack and carve stairs. I am NOT at that point yet.

[quasi copper]

That's what I've been doing. It's incredibly tedious. I hope you get a better spot than this one. I was wondering if this might be what they gave me that minotaur summoner for. But I don't do vehicles much, so for all I know, I'd just die of the fall faster in the minotaur.

[tired vortex]

No the minotaur is definitely the clutch for that purpose.

no fall damage at all, jumps pretty high.

[quasi copper]

Time to cautiously give that a try, then. Thanks!

[ancient pivot]

mind, the minotaur still doesnt do great at scaling these

[quasi copper]

If I won't die of a fall, I can try again, at least.

[ancient pivot]

if i had a cent for every time i made it halfway up a mountain then the mino just slid down like a bobsled before i could issue another command

honestly as long its not a sheer wall the jetpack does pretty decently for going up cause for some reason it can recharge while thrusting you up on these steep hills

but if you fuck up well, thats... not reccomended on this expedition

[quasi copper]

I've had to catch myself with the terrain manipulator. I've nearly fallen a very long way about four times now. I've about had it with this planet.

[ocean gorge]

If you’re trying to find the grave sites after you’ve activated the memory resonator whatever thing, I had pretty decent luck landing where the “approximate” location was, getting out of my ship, and looking around with the visor for the grave symbol. I’d mark that, get back in my ship, and fly to that location and land next to it, so as soon as I was done activating the grave I could hop right back in my ship (because something nasty would happen, something mob would spawn other than one time it was a space battle in which case summoning the anomaly works for that xD). The grave locations, some of them especially, don’t have a lot of room to land, so I often had to loop around a few times before it would let me land, but I always found a way to get there. Hope this helps. Sure beats trying to dig tunnels along mountainsides, I too tried that and almost died to falling😬

[quasi copper]

Thanks! Maybe I didn't try hard enough to land at the "approximate location".

This minotaur thing is awesome, though.

[ocean gorge]

Yeah these infested worlds make it challenging to land, have to let everything load in really well I think

[hot blade]

The hills are the worst

Minotaur is a definite must

[quasi copper]

Yeah, I think I see what killed this guy. This is halfway down a long, steep slope on a small flat spot. How does the Minotaur do against the stuff that spawns from these things? If I hop back in, will I be safe?

[quasi copper]

So much better with the the Minotaur.

[hot blade]

Minotaur is a death machine, especially with the right mods

[quasi copper]

I opened 13 and got next to nothing compatible. I did at least get the daylight recharger.

[hot blade]

You can install the AI and it’ll be like a coop player fighting with you

Then you can hop in it and escape if your shields get too low

[quasi copper]

I'll keep it in mind for another occasion, but I don't have that tech, and I'm at the spot now.

[hot blade]

It’s be cools if you could drop other players stuff in a loot crate or something

[quasi copper]

Yeah, it would. Apparently there are some really nice people in multiplayer who will just toss valuable stuff at people in the Nexus, but there doesn't seem to be a way to just leave things for people.

Though the people who build bases at stuff like Sentinel Pillars and mould are heroes.

[hot blade]

This is true

I try to be when I can

[rocky valve]

20th planetary chart and not a single crashed freighter

[hot blade]

Go to an abandoned planet and try there

Also alternate with the signal booster

[rocky valve]

ok

[hot blade]

Or to an exotic planet

[ocean gorge]

I thought I uploaded a crashed freighter base. Did you ever try checking for other player bases, to see if someone had one for a crashed freighter?

[rocky valve]

in what system if you recall?

[ocean gorge]

I don’t at this point sorry

[rocky valve]

ok

[ocean gorge]

But if you’re at a teleporter you can look and see what bases show up, it never hurts

[rocky valve]

ok

[glass stump]

There is one in the starter system

[quasi copper]

I think there was one on the second anchor planet, too.

I started the expedition with a freighter, but can't find it. Do I find it later in the expedition?

[rocky valve]

do you mean your own freighter?

[quasi copper]

Yes.

[rocky valve]

you can just summon it

[quasi copper]

Doesn't it have to have fuel?

It's empty. I've never even seen it. Couldn't ever find it.

[rocky valve]

I dont think so

[quasi copper]

I'll give it a go.

[rocky valve]

aslong as its not already in the system

but u can sometimes not warp depending on the system

[hot blade]

Quick menu summon like you summon a ship

[rocky valve]

since u need some kind of drive

[quasi copper]

I summoned it!

I didn't think it would work if it had no fuel. Thanks, guys!

[hot blade]

Default freighter drive can only warp to yellow star systems so you may run into that

[quasi copper]

I think I'm in a yellow system. Must have been; summon worked.

[hot blade]

Hey so I just talked to the guy number 5
Can I die now?

Breaking the loop: (spoileys)
||Just talked to an old friend. Is it safe to die now and only lose what’s in the suit?||

[iron radish]

@hot blade once you finish the expedition yes

also that’s not really a spoiler

[hot blade]

When you say finish the expedition, you mean when the save reverts to normal?

[iron radish]

saves aren’t going to be reverted to normal until the community part is done

once you’re able to claim the leviathan frigate you’ve completed it

[hot blade]

Ah okay

Thank you

[sly pond]

Saves for Leviathan will convert to Survival, but now that just means you'll need to go edit difficulty settings if you wish to continue playing on them as if they were converted to Normal, lol.

[rocky valve]

What are the optional milestones for? Are these missions the community part?

[iron radish]

Yes

[rocky valve]

ok

[ancient pivot]

i know im like 3 hours late, but since we already were talking about the minotaur... hop over to the anomaly and buy the scanner upgrade.

[scarlet ocean]

Do i have to loot this freighter with the signal scanner? Died there 2 times now and its pretty annoying

[placid dew]

Still 12% now....
It's 48% for this tier now, as shown in the screenshot.

[placid dew]

Are you're talking about the phase 5 milestone called ||A Shattered Past||?

[viscid bison]

no, im at the end of phase 1, just want phase 2 rewards and maybe phase 3

[placid dew]

If it's not required by the milestone, you don't have to do it.
Perhaps you're talking about assisting Specialist Polo?

[viscid bison]

No, i just thought I have to do it for something, because i got it xD

but yeah thank you

[placid dew]

You could've prevented those deaths by avoiding needless, risky exploration....

[viscid bison]

yeah :/

Yesterday I have finally found the damn storm crystals. In a star system with just two planets mapped by somebody. One of them was with the crystals.

While another one had active Emeril and extreme storms too, but no crystals.

Is anyone available to give me a hand with the leviathan? I’m having issues with finding an aggressive animal and locating a cadmium drive

[patent canyon]

In case of aggressive animal look for predators (they don't need to be hostile to player) - when scanned, they have a diet of eating meat, they walk around, lurking for prey and if they see an animal, they kill it and eat it. I think that the starting system already has one ( check the pins there).
For cadmium drive, you need to buy that at The Anomaly. If you have enough s.

[safe falcon]

Thanks, I’ll give them a go

[lyric coyote]

If I complete the expedition, can I still redeem the community milestones in case they are unlocked?

[sly pond]

@lyric coyote Yes, you wkn't get the option to convert the save to Survival until that milestone is complete and you claim it - the only way to miss it would be if you waited until past the deadline for the expedition to end.

It's nothing special iirc, not claimable on other saves.

[lyric coyote]

Thank you 👍

[native bloom]

I forget, what do I need to do before I can claim the optional milestones on a new save?

Oh I have to help Polo don't I

[lusty slate]

Starter planet has a predator you can adopt that doesn't threaten the player. There's an image of it in the pins.

[lusty slate]

You'll need to buy the cadmium and emeril drives blueprints from the anomaly.

For the cadmium you need to construct the emeril drive, you need to go to a red star planet.

[safe falcon]

Thanks

[safe falcon]

i dont need indium drives at all do i?

[lusty slate]

Nope.

[glass stump]

OK, how do you find a storm planet, one with Storm Crystals?

[lusty slate]

The pins have a few known ones.

[glass stump]

Must have missed that. Thanks!

[lusty slate]

There's two links in the top pin. 🙂

[glass stump]

#$%#@ Read right past that more than TWICE!!

[lusty slate]

Condolences. I've scanned passed pin info maaany times myself.

[viscid bison]

I see anchor point 2, but as soon as I go to it it disappears. Can someone help me?

[safe falcon]

the anchor points just get you to the general area, you have to search around for the actual site
