nms-expedition

[indigo falcon]

nope, you don't get the base computer until the end, they are just a nice gesture

[craggy echo]

Kk

[slow jay]

hm nope, chose another "player" base to teleport to, just ended up at a generic npc trading post with my ship bugged out in midair, and the Base icon just hovering over an empty cargo drop spot

[indigo falcon]

ugh, well that is likely a case of too much crap in the expedition from other players that has to hit the save file at the same time (I am guessing here) 😦

[slow jay]

or the switch version is just hecked lol

i love this game but ive had so many issues and annoyances

[indigo falcon]

I've not heard this report from other switch players but I'll keep it in mind

please report to hg in any case

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[slow jay]

lol that doesn't surprise me, just my luck 😂

[sly pond]

Could also just be an issue with cross-platform base sync. Either teleport destinations that arent among the 30 most recent uploads that havent been removed as they should, else destinations showing up before the basedata is fully available on the Switch server.

[indigo falcon]

either way, a bug, for sure...

[void citrus]

I named my jelly Squishy, I hope someone gets the reference

[rocky fern]

sure, like that one guy

John Jellysquishy

[void citrus]

Nah I named it that cause of Dora

From finding nemo

[pastel star]

believe that was Dory, not Dora

[hazy sonnet]

Instead of asking you where something is
She's asking you where Nemo is
But both do it constantly and are annoying

[pastel star]

My little watches Dora, so now im imagining some wierd cross over where Dora is asking where the the next step is on the map because she literally forgot again 😄

[void citrus]

Oh lol auto correct turned dory into dora

[inland dock]

Struggling to find a Storm Crystal to create a hypercore for the final milestone. Any tips?

Are 'activated' deposit planets more likely to have them? I've just checked 5 different ones. 😕

[rocky fern]

I'm on a planet with some right now

in the system with...

[void citrus]

Use your ship and shoot dihyrdrogen patches to get crystal fragments, analyze them, it's slow but easier to get storm crystals

[hazy sonnet]

Storm crystals only appear on activated deposit planets "naturally"

[pastel star]

The Pins have a planet in the R4 system, other than that a planet with activated should have them yes

[inland dock]

Seems like I'm just unlucky so far then. I've been jumping between red stars looking. Thanks both

[scarlet ocean]

What does it mean by "restore" here? Do I need to just work with the thruster and engine?

[hazy sonnet]

They only appear once a storm starts

[pastel star]

same thing youd do on a new save, fix the launch thruster and the pulse engine

[inland dock]

R4 system?

[scarlet ocean]

Fair enough.

[void citrus]

Yep

[rocky fern]

Thurcho-Ahshi XVII, near Rendezvous 3

[inland dock]

Yeah, I've been hovering about during fire and rainstorms looking for them. Found plenty of other stuff.

[inland dock]

Noice, thank you

[craggy echo]

did u guys bother upgrading your ship?

[indigo falcon]

the pin with all the tips has the location of such a world, rend. 4

[inland dock]

I'll try this too

[indigo falcon]

literally in the r4 system though. no searching needed

[rocky fern]

Planet is Limeresal Beta

[indigo falcon]

going to say again for clarity: a world in the rendezvous 4 system directly has storm crystals, see the tips pin

not to belittle your effort and work at sharing these images at all. just that some people do have trouble locating systems in the galaxy map, especially if there are pirates around.

[rocky fern]

nah, I gotcha

I just find directions like that a bit clearer than the pins usually are

The pins tend to assume we know a lot more than we might.

[indigo falcon]

yeah they have to be edited down so that they fit in the limited message text (thanks discord, no I will not be getting nitro 😛 ) and to not be such an overwhelming wall of text no one reads them, heh

always a delicate balance

[rocky fern]

yeah, they're formatted great for what they are, I'm just a dumb 🤷🏻‍♂️

[indigo falcon]

you're just a helpful player, which is grand!

keep it up!

[rocky fern]

no u

that's right, I said it; everyone was thinkin' it

[indigo falcon]

awwww

[left kite]

hey anyone able to help me? i need to board someones freighter

[rocky fern]

I, too, need this thing.
Perhaps we can come to... an arrangement.

[left kite]

yes

[rocky fern]

Never done it before, but it shouldn't be too hard. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[left kite]

my code: T2YA-RV1T-N8SGY

thank you so much lol

[remote thunder]

start with nms friend codes yep

one of you joins the other using Multiplayer main menu

whoever's hosting should double check network settings, especially "Who Can Join" - if changes are made, save+reload

[left kite]

im waiting in the anamoloy if you join on me

[remote thunder]

no need

just exit the anomaly

if Boom joins you, they will get spawned in your system

[left kite]

resend that i accidentaly denied the request lol

[remote thunder]

if you want, you can also use the anomaly to exit warp to Boom's system - which, if Boom's currently joining you, should be your current system

[left kite]

workin on getting him in here 😛

Thanks again boom!

[rocky fern]

guise we did it

sure thing, mate

[frail grotto]

Hey where do i get faecium from

[next aurora]

Anyone wanna play?

[rocky fern]

there's planets with piles of the stuff, like Copper, but you can also get it from feeding animals

[quaint jetty]

You can feed a couple animals and it's in their poop

[frail grotto]

Oh okay thanks didnt know it can spawn at planets

[quaint jetty]

I actually saw it for sale at a couple of space stations too.

[void citrus]

You can refine carbon and di hydrogen together in a refiner and get it as well

[quaint jetty]

I did not know that!

[rocky fern]

I still don't!

[frail grotto]

Oh wow thats really helpfull and easier than finding it organicly

[quaint jetty]

I really made use of some refiner recipes this expedition.

[rocky fern]

Which ones?

[quaint jetty]

The one to make oxygen - kelp sacs, condensed carbon and cactus flesh.

[void citrus]

This expedition taught me what all the rooms do

[serene kettle]

For the "Hospitality" task, what is the "Atlas Path set" reward comprised of?

[indigo falcon]

atlas pass v1, 2 and 3

[serene kettle]

Ah, gotcha.

[indigo falcon]

these let you get stuff from the red barrels at cargo drops, get access to certain back rooms at space stations, etc

I dunno why they give you all three when v3 opens v1 and 2 stuff as well

[serene kettle]

Does it say "pass set" in-game? I was looking on the wiki site and it said "path set", so it didn't make sense.

I was wondering if I'd missed a set of gear or something when I played the Atlas storyline. 😜

[indigo falcon]

uh I think the milestone says pass set lemme check

[serene kettle]

No biggie. I was going to update the wiki page, if it does.

[indigo falcon]

atlas pass set, that's what the milestone says, and they are called atlas pass v1,2,3 when you get and craft them too

[frail grotto]

Finding planets with storm crystals is a pain

Then you open your normal save and when you dont need it every planet has storm crystals

[indigo falcon]

then when you look at the pin with the tips, one is listed right there 😉

[frail grotto]

Holy damn it does, guess thats what i get for having adhd and being to lazy to read all of the pin last time, thank you again mr apergos

[indigo falcon]

(still not a mr) you're welcome and don't worry about it, it's why the channel is here 🙂

[brave talon]

I finished it in just under 7 hours! First time doing and completing an expedition!

[indigo falcon]

woo hoo!

[brave talon]

I also really appreciate that it taught me how frigates work haha, I was completely lost on them

[frail grotto]

Holy damn it does, guess thats what i get for having adhd and being to lazy to read all of the pin last time, thank you again mr apergos

Boom done 2 days gg

Wait did i copy past on accident?

Anyway gg

[indigo falcon]

done?

that's the main thing! 🎉

[frail grotto]

Hey by the way how do community missions progression work

[indigo falcon]

the quicksilver items at the nexus?

after enough players have done missions, the item is unlocked, you can see progress towards the unlock by checking the community research mission in the log. (or giving the command !tier in #bot-spam in here)

[frail grotto]

So just any nexus missions or the quicksilver ones? I bough nms recently and havent seen that progression bar yet

Well thats a pretty neat feature anyhow

[indigo falcon]

you'll see it once you get to the Space Anomaly

after that it becomes a permanent (almost always) secondary mission

any yeah the joint community unlocks are kind of cool

mostly 😄

[ashen shore]

So to get a storm crystal do I just wait for a super storm near activated copper?

[south dune]

Nah, storm crystals are specific things you look for on the ground. Big glowy blue rocks when it storms

[indigo falcon]

during the storm they glow as on the right and the lightning bolt icon (bottom middle) will be visible in the HUD

[ashen shore]

OOOOH

THATS SO HELPFULL

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!

[indigo falcon]

yw, good luck!

you do need to wait for the storm to really get going, the first few seconds it won't have them yet

[craggy echo]

Can’t find crystal sulphide anywhere on the rdv planet… so can’t build submarine port…

[ashen shore]

Yeah, I'm already in a planet that has them! So now I just gotta find these

[indigo falcon]

sweet!

[south dune]

They also show up on the top compass as an orange and white lightning symbol! Are they on analysis visor too? I can’t remember

[indigo falcon]

when you scan looking for other POI they show up there

[lusty slate]

Wait, what issue with teleporting to space station nearby user bases on Switch? I've done that a lot for expeditions and it worked fine.

The only major problem I have on Switch consistently is that it can't handle loading mega bases. So I keep my bases simple.

I've used player bases from the teleporter on Switch with no issues so far.

However, I think I saw one of those YouTube group bases while heading to the rendezvous. There was literally a base computer in the middle of an ocean and nothing else. It looked really sketchy.

[indigo falcon]

weird

[craggy echo]

So no one else had issues finding Crystal sulphide…?

[indigo falcon]

no one has mentioned it that I've heard

you're on a planet with plenty of water I take it?

[craggy echo]

Yep

[indigo falcon]

you near a large open body of water? got a lot of shoreline you can walk around? if so, try getting in partway and use the HUD, check every 50 u or so near the shore

[craggy echo]

Near shore? Ic

[indigo falcon]

well they can be farther out but it's more convenient to hunt for them by shore and no reason you wouldn't spy them from just in the water

[craggy echo]

Got em

Way down deep

Had to rely on kelp to get them lol

[mellow mantle]

hi

cannot find anything about anomaly expeditions

what are they?

[indigo falcon]

that's not a term I know about. there are frigate expeditions (send frigates out from your freighter, they come back with nice items and units) and there are community expeditions like Polestar Redux happening now

[rustic tusk]

I cannot find chlorine, cyto-phosphate, or crystal sulfide to save my LIFE

Struggling here

[indigo falcon]

you want a planet with plenty of water

you can look from space and see (or on the discovery page really)

[rustic tusk]

Yeah I'm on a planet that's almost entirely water :/

[mellow mantle]

i mean the third thing in the quicksilver guy in anomaly

and it may be the community expeditions

so what they are and how to join or smth

[indigo falcon]

oh

yes, the quicksilver vendor is where you pick up rewards from community expeditions (like Polestar going on now) on other save files for the same account

[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]

that's the very basics, check the link at the bottom for a bit more, if it interests you, have a look at the pins in here for Polestar (Expd 8) which just started yesterday as a rerun

[mellow mantle]

interesting

i was looking for something to do with others

thanks

[zealous nest]

Alright boys

[indigo falcon]

what about the rest of us?

[craggy echo]

Planets with activated deposits should have storm crystals right?

[indigo falcon]

not all. there's info on one in the pin with the tips for this expedition however

[rapid veldt]

Can someone help me with the optional milestone?

[rustic tusk]

Could I visit someone else's freighter base? I can give you some valuable items

[rustic tusk]

Maybe we're talking about the same one?

[rustic tusk]

I could provide you with storm crystals if you have any crystal sulfide or amino chambers?

[rapid veldt]

yeah I think so I will message you

[unique glen]

I’m trying to find storm crystals, too. I’m soooo close to being done!

[glass stump]

As part of this, you need 250 Cadmium. So do I warp my freighter to a red star (not sure I can) or BUY and install the necessary drives into my ship?

[hollow shore]

With a lot done on the freighter already, it makes sense to use the freighter for this, but certainly not required. Jump distances are not bad either, so a ship can do so too if you wish.

Of course either would require the upgrade to get to a red star

[glass stump]

OK< will see if the Freighter has the range and can jump to a red star.

[leaden fable]

Only took 3 n a half hours

[glass stump]

Ugh. Nanites are easier to come by than Salvaged Frigate Modules.

[hollow shore]

Well, do check the Milestones, as this is a freighter focused expedition

(Prospector Milestone alone gives you 3x)

[full sun]

Ok, I kind of stalled out in the first and second systems. Salvaged a bunch of crashed ships and just upgraded one of them to an A class fighter in the space station. Have to hang out a little longer tho, thought I saw a Guppy in here. Was in multiplayer at the time but I’m pretty sure it was an NPC. We’ll see…

[rustic tusk]

I can provide storm crystals if you still need them

[unique glen]

@rustic tusk thanks! I’m not sure how we meet up, I’m on PS5. Do you need to add me, or do I need to add you? And do you need anything in return?

[rustic tusk]

Sent a DM

[full sun]

If that doesn’t work out there is a planet in the 3rd system that had them

In the 3rd system on the route to the first rendezvous. System is Jakarasbu XIX and they are on the planet Obasinda Minor

Could probably teleport to the space station and grab them pretty quick

[bitter vine]

I really appreciate the effort people put in to build little helper bases. You guys rock.

[full sun]

Yeah, the double crashed freighter base in the first system was awesome

[void bramble]

How did you guys manage to get the storm crystal for the singularity drive?

[bitter vine]

probably find a planet with activated-something and wait for a storm

[full sun]

Look at my prior post for a location you may be able to teleport back to

[hollow shore]

Also in Rendezvous system 4 Anggierfo, planet Erylanaith Otsu: See pin here: <#nms-expedition message>

And if you took the advise mentioned in the pin, you would not need the Storm Crystal

[void bramble]

Thank you guys

Ill go to Anggierfo because I can see it on the portal

[full sun]

Yeah, if you didn’t stop on the space station on your way to rendezvous 1 you wouldn’t see mine.

[void bramble]

Thank you for the help anyways

I appreciate it

[hallow topaz]

Lol what is a gravity slingshot?

[quaint jetty]

They give you the recipe for it in the second to last milestone.

[quaint jetty]

That was fabulous, I agree!

Anyone around for me to check out their freighter?

[dreamy bluff]

Anyone want to visit my ship at anytime please feel free. that will be one thing off the bucket list. I am at the Phase 2 into the black. So, I have already hit the rendezvous point.

[ashen shore]

I just had a weird thought. What if the person we play as in this expidition was the freighter captain that ended up hunting the leviathan?

For me the randomly generated cosmetics are identical + the ship is the same model and size

[quaint jetty]

The randomly generated stuff doesn't seem very random - I have had this same traveller wearing blue and yellow for many of my runs on Leviathan and The Blight and then my first (and only so far) run on Polestar.

The ship name has stayed the same too but the ship style has changed (obvs since Leviathan was a solar and this one looks like a telephoto lens).

[silent gull]

about how long do these take?

[hollow shore]

Depends on the running expedition, but also on your own knowledge of the game. This one can be done reasonably quick, even for a reasonably new player

[silent gull]

nice

[waxen shuttle]

the second anchor point being ||underwater|| though

i wonder what was more annoying, that or the second anchor point in leviathan redux being at a green star

[bitter vine]

any use for the Liquid Sun we get?

[west forum]

Any benefit to doing the expedition if you completed it the first time?

[hollow shore]

Hmmm, not really, unless you keep the save to get a living ship?

[hollow shore]

The main rewards are the same. Mostly a chance for players to get these if they missed out before

[west forum]

Thanks! I missed the twitch drops sadly.

[hollow shore]

Another advantage might be for use as a new save with a jump start

[hollow shore]

A lot of the Twitch Drops can be bought with QS, while the fixed seed ships/tools will be more difficult to find. There may be more Twitch events coming, where I assume part of the rewards will sort of rotate as they have done so far.

[west forum]

Yeah, I like the uniques you get. It's hard to remember to constantly watch for them. Too many alerts and notifications from everywhere.

[hollow shore]

Seeing you are on PC, there are of course other means to get those rewards if you wish.

[split pewter]

Hey anyone on that can invite me to their group real quick for the glyph expedition milestone

[unreal gale]

oh by the way, if anyone hasn't mentioned it, there's another trick to get the Storm Crystals without having to travel to a place that has them

Just farm D-Hydrogen to collect a 30-ish crystals, there's a 5% chance for a Storm Crystal to come out of those

[pine steppe]

By any chance does anybody have time to help me out with the polestar expedition, I need to visit someone's freighter for the second phase of the expedition..

[ashen shore]

Where do I find Crystal Sulfide

[brittle linden]

From underwater vents. Be careful around them.

[ashen shore]

Ok

[zealous nest]

This Planet has crystal.

[random ridge]

I can, I'm on now. Give me a few to get my friend code

[half phoenix]

me ready to completely stop the expedition after getting the cape:

[bold saffron]

same here. i need to visit someone's freighter. Not sure how to do that.

[random ridge]

SEEV-A6A9-6HH72
(I also need to visit someone)

[bold saffron]

okay i added you as a friend Durian. Now what do I need to do?

[random ridge]

Let me see if I can invite you

[bold saffron]

Okay. I turned on multiplayer and can join my group friends only. not sure if that's all i do

Krafty=Karteck

[random ridge]

Not seeing you on friends list yet

[random ridge]

Try inviting me?

[bold saffron]

how?

[random ridge]

Try under friends list in network settings

[bold saffron]

I did. i don't see an option. Perhaps you need to add me as a friend as well?

[random ridge]

Or add me again. I have not got the friend request

[pine steppe]

I'm getting my friends code now

[bold saffron]

Mine is GGRY-GT97-K05K8

Durian you are on my friends list it says...odd

[pine steppe]

Q5ST-G9CT-V2WBY

[random ridge]

Ok I'll host and join me

Are you both on the Anomaly

[bold saffron]

i just went to the anomaly

and dont see anyone yet

[random ridge]

Quit to mode select & choose multiplayer, can you see my session

Or join Dems

[bold saffron]

lobby full 4/4

can you expand lobby or is 4 max

[random ridge]

I think 4 is max, hang on let me make one lol

[bold saffron]

thx!

keeps saying failed to join lobby

wonder if its cuz i am on windows

[random ridge]

Man this is harder than it needs to be

[bold saffron]

i restarted. now hosting game and sitting in anom.

multiplayer in NMS is totally grafted on and crap

[random ridge]

Ok joining you Krafty

[scarlet ocean]

Around when is making a base computer available?

[random ridge]

Krafty, unsummon your freighter

[bold saffron]

done

[random ridge]

Ok board mine

[bold saffron]

okay, one sec

[random ridge]

I'm in the Instas system r2

[random ridge]

My ship marker is on

[bold saffron]

TYVM!!

[random ridge]

Nice thanks 🙂

[bold saffron]

sorry for making that painful

[random ridge]

No worries at all. Have fun

[rustic tusk]

Hey folks, I'm currently on acid and not sure what I'm doing in the expedition, would anyone be able to lend a hand? 😅

[scarlet ocean]

You can follow the milestones step by step.

It's a guide through the expedition story.

[quaint jetty]

At the end of the expedition, you get the base computer.

Or the plans for one, anyway

[scarlet ocean]

Well, gotta wait for the frigate expeditions to finish then. That's going to take a bit.

[rustic tusk]

Yeah I know lol, I meant if someone is willing to explain a few things I could pay. I get the basics of it. Thank you though 🙂

[glass stump]

OK, what am I missing. You need 250 Cadmium. Cad you get from red planets. The starship drives are locked, so you can't do that. You can get the freighter "shield" drive to go to red planets unles you have Cadmium. HELP!!!

[pastel star]

what did you need cadmium for?

[glass stump]

IIRC to build one of the "shield drives. Do I not need to do that.

Will go look again.

[pastel star]

i dont remember needing it at all

[glass stump]

Hope you're correct.

I misread a LOT of things

[scarlet ocean]

You don't need one to finish the expedition.

But if you must, you can dismantle the cheap hyperdrive upgrades space stations sell. Those give you Cadium.

[zealous nest]

Does the Expedition change to a normal save automatically after the rewards have been collected or is it a manual choice ?

[slow jay]

been stuck in the same system for a while cause i am very disorganized when it comes to gathering but it's slowly coming together plus im racking up other phases just from playing 👌

[slow jay]

holy moly how did i not know this, i have been forever perplexed at the "need red metal to warp to systems that have red metal" paradox

[scarlet ocean]

That's because you are expected to use your ship to go there first, and then your freighter.

For your ship, you don't need Cadium to go to Red systems. It's just chromatic metal iirc.

[slow jay]

o u rite, for the first couple warp drives it's chromatic and then cadmium and then emeril, woop

idk why that didn't occur to me, i been using my ship exclusively in my own file and of course for planet travel here but when the expedition handed me a freighter my brain went "you are Only allowed to use this"

[scarlet ocean]

Yeah, which is why at least this expedition has no colored systems.

If it was like Leviathan which had a green system, people would have gone berserk as there is no way to get there.

[glass stump]

Not sure I fillip. You mean the upgrade module tgat you buy in c, b, a or s class

[scarlet ocean]

Yeah.

Ones you can buy in stations.

They are also a source of wiring looms.

[glass stump]

Does class mater?

[scarlet ocean]

No.

Just go for the cheap ones.

Was it hyperdrive or was it
pulse. Meh.

It's only a few nanaites to check.

[glass stump]

Thanks

[rocky valve]

bruh I didnt know that when warping or teleporting, the stuff in the refiner disappears lol

[ripe jungle]

It does?

[rocky valve]

yeah, for me, all the stuff in my refiner disappeared

[calm flax]

If anyone is interested there's a grey/silver royal multitool in the starting system on Rainfi -.90 +148.99

C class

[slow jay]

kinda stuck, not sure where to get the crystal things to make the nautilon

[rocky valve]

crystal sulphide

[slow jay]

ye

[rocky valve]

you need to swim under water to find them, use ur analysis visor to find them

[slow jay]

oogh. gotta find non-irradiated water somewhere

[rocky valve]

they look like this

[slow jay]

is there safe(ish) waters in the HG systems or do i need to search around them?

[rocky valve]

not sure

I think you can still find them in radiated waters

thats where I got mine

[slow jay]

myea, i would like to think they provided planets with appropriate materials for the event but ough

guess im goin swimmin in the hurt water, good thing i installed the extra atmosphere upgrades lol

[rocky valve]

yeah

[graceful orbit]

at the part where I need to expand my feelt

fleet*

how???? can't get the option to recruit even if I go near other freighters(nps)

[rocky valve]

what phase is this milestone?

[graceful orbit]

4th phase. currently at rdv3

[rocky valve]

ok

[graceful orbit]

might be because I'm not at the proper system yet for this phase

wait m

[ancient pivot]

did you do the introductory quest for frigate expeditions?

[graceful orbit]

mb

it's phase 5

[ancient pivot]

i could recruit more frigates from the start

just did the same thing you do in normal runs to unlock it

[graceful orbit]

freighters are always accompanied by frigates right?

[ancient pivot]

enter freighter, check out the console for inspect your fleet whatever, talk to the navigator, build a room for that stuff

and then you can recruit frigates from other freighter fleets

uh idk about always but basically yes

[graceful orbit]

yeah I did

I went near the npc freighters but I didn't get the transmission stuff for recruiting

[wraith junco]

I think it depends on system. Some have a lot frigates to buy ,some none

[graceful orbit]

only have a single frigate, even already did 1 expedition

[rocky valve]

did u do leviathan?

[graceful orbit]

no

straight to polestar

[rocky valve]

ok

I think you need to go the "Manage Fleet" section in the main console

the console is the thing with a giant orange globe in the middle

and I think u need a fleet command room

[graceful orbit]

already have

[slow jay]

how do i get the hyperdrive installed when i can't learn it?

[rocky valve]

for the starship?

[rocky valve]

if so, you can't, only with ur freighter you can warp

[slow jay]

ye

ah right

agh, im getting all mixed up

[graceful orbit]

nvm I was just unlucky. the 3-4 freighters I encountered didn't have any frigates

went to probly the 3rd system and finally found one

only 1 tho

still need 3 more

[craggy echo]

So finding a broken ship and summoning it at anomaly doesn’t count as the milestone?

[scarlet ocean]

Repair the engine and landing gear.

[craggy echo]

Yea. I just meant when you summon a crashed ship to the anomaly the ship is automatically fixed. But that doesn’t give you the milestone.

You have to do it manually

[hallow topaz]

What happens to the save when the expedition is completed? 🙂

[indigo falcon]

it converts to a normal mode save (or whatever settings you have I guess)

[hallow topaz]

I spawned with blue jetpack trails. Is this unlocked now when I finish the expedition for other saves?

[atomic laurel]

hmmm just started the expedition...launced my ship and saw tons of freighters around me

what do i do hmmmmm

immediately shoots cargo pods

earns 6 million units within like 5 minutes

[hallow topaz]

Hold 6million or cumulative 6 million?

[atomic laurel]

***Visiting a freighter***

Visiting a player freighter for Expedition 8

How to host a freighter visit from another player

Make sure multiplayer is enabled and that you see messages about other player activity.
Be in your freighter with player marker on.
Set Options->Network->Group joins to all.
When someone asks in the discord for a visit, dm the person your NMS friend code, and wait.
• Note that if both you and the visitor are on Playstation, the other player will send you a PSN invite to be a friend; accept it.
• DO NOT accept an invite to play together, it is not needed.
• A similar mechanism exists if both players are on Xbox, or both are on Steam.

How to be the visitor

Add the person's NMS friend code (Network->options->show friend list->add friend)
• Note that if both you and the host are on Playstation, you will get a prompt to invite them to become a PSN friend; do so
• DO NOT invite them to a PSN group or session, no need for this.
• A similar mechanism exists if both players are on Xbox, or both are on Steam.
Now you will go out to the screen where you can choose single player/multiplayer and choose multiplayer.
Then you should see the host's session.
When you load in, you'll be taken to the host's current system. Head towards the other player marker or the freighter icon.
Land in the hangar, claim milestone, go to the space station, save there, and then you should be good to leave the group.
When you do, you will be transported to your original starting point.

That's it!

[indigo falcon]

there are other ways to do it but that's a tried and true way at least

[wild pond]

Yo, thanks

[craggy echo]

Done ✅ was that the last of the redux?

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have any spare resources?

[glossy trout]

One question, is it possible to know the rank of a frighter before entering in it, like we do with the ships using the visor?

[meager scroll]

Nope, you at least you gotta land and look through the visor while in hangar

[dreamy bluff]

[inland dock]

Anyone able to help me with Hospitality? I'll be quick and happy to return the favour 👌

[dreamy bluff]

Yes

[toxic mortar]

Can you summon anomaly after first warp?

[dreamy bluff]

Pulling up the game now

[inland dock]

Brilliant, please DM me your code and I'll jump in

[dreamy bluff]

Whenever you're ready, I'm here.

[inland dock]

Dropped you a DM. Maybe check message requests? 😀

[dreamy bluff]

I had to write that down. Didn't see a way of copy and pasting.

[foggy steppe]

Anyone able to help me with hospitality?

[foggy steppe]

After you read the 2nd log

Also do I have to start a new save to get access to expedition rewards? As I helped someone transfer items from their main save to their expedition/normal save(after conversion)

[toxic mortar]

Ah. Thanks!

[hallow topaz]

Do I have to have built the nautilus thing to be able to call it?

I have the plans unlocked and the exocraft thing on my freighter

[foggy steppe]

Don’t think so. I used a summoner already built and it worked. Just gotta deploy the sub

[hallow topaz]

Anyone wanna help/trade the Freighter base milestone? Phat stacks 5m cash

[toxic mortar]

....I just landed at a crashed ship....and it flew away.

[foggy steppe]

Anyone?

[hallow topaz]

Dont know how but sure 😄

Can we just visit eachothers freighters in space?

[foggy steppe]

Yeah basically we visit each other’s freighter the it should pop the milestone

[ashen shore]

I have a few questions,

1. Can switch people do the Hospitality Milestone
2. How do I do a gravity slingshot

[vagrant olive]

I have the same questions

[rocky fern]

Damn. I found a crashed ship, then repaired every broken thing, and Phase 4.4 still didn't update. -_-

[indigo falcon]

no multiplayer on the switch so I don't know how you would be able to do the optional milestone 😦

the gravity slingshot: build the singularity engine blueprint, use it, profit!

[indigo falcon]

you should only repair pulse/launch thrusters, that's all you needed.

[rocky fern]

that didn't do it

they're still flashing like they need to be repaired, but they're fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ashen shore]

Just saw my second exotic ship launch away infront of my eyes in a space station and the first one was a Squid ship 🥲

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have any spare Tainted Metal

[rocky fern]

Do you remember which system you found that Squid ship?

[ashen shore]

I named it Squid Ship! And uploaded it

And is there a better way to find space pirates and shoot them down?

[waxen shuttle]

noticed someone gave me 300m worth of starship scrap at some point; wasn't going to sell it but then an exotic landed in the station i was in and i was like, well i'm not going to pass up that chance

[indigo falcon]

ok let's try the usual stuff: multiplayer disabled? if not, please do so

[rocky fern]

I just managed to progress it.

I used the Planetary Map first, then did things one-by-one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[indigo falcon]

huh ok, that's.. weird but glad you got it working

[lusty slate]

FYI to Switch players:

1. Switch doesn't have multiplayer, so we're locked out of the bonus Hospitality milestone. It's optional though and isn't required to complete the expedition. However, the save won't convert to normal until the expedition event ends since that milestone will be open.

2. Switch also can't get capes due to graphical issues. Instead, we get 6000 quicksilver for phase 4.

3. Quicksilver is tied to the save file and not the account, BUT any non consumable QS rewards you buy from the merchant will unlock account wide. So spend the 6000 QS at the anomaly on your Polestar save, then hop on your main and claim the items/blueprints you bought.

[rose shell]

I just loaded into a system, exited my freighter

and saw a warning for 13 hostile sentinel interceptors

then looked around, and saw this dude getting lit up by the sentinels

[scarlet ocean]

lol

[meager scroll]

IMO this is worthy a pin here, what you think @indigo falcon ?

[hallow topaz]

Lol at 6 pirates being the only thing holding me back from finishing

[rough igloo]

anyone can help me to visit their freighter for the expedition reward?

[pastel star]

that was my final problem to, since freighter jumping doesnt seem to trigger the freighter battle pirate event

[bitter swallow]

heyhi! u might have a different method, but here's how i got that to trigger: found and claimed a crashed ship -> flew back to my freighter w/ my normal ship -> switched primary ship to the crashed one in the freighter landing bay -> used freighter teleporter to head to local space station -> since teleporting to a station w/ a broken ship repairs all necessary components automatically, the achievement triggered as soon as i arrived on the station

hopefully that'll work for u!!

[meager scroll]

Thanks @fringe agate

[fringe agate]

Np

[zealous nest]

Does the Expedition convert automatically after rewards have been claimed ?

[atomic laurel]

looking for hospitality trade

[hollow shore]

Once you claimed every reward, yes, it will convert. So if you wish to stay around in the expedition, best to wait with claiming at least the final reward on the last Expedition page. Just don't forget to eventually claim it before expedition time runs out

[meager scroll]

Every reward including the Hospitality milestone?

Cause that was what kept me in original run

Optional my ass

[hollow shore]

Good point, I am not sure if supposed optional milestones are part of that equation. It used to actually require those too

[mossy merlin]

Still looking for hospitality trade?

[zealous nest]

@hollow shore I appreciate it

Optional Milestone DO NOT COUNT

@meager scroll

I experienced that last expedition

[ashen shore]

Yeah I wasn’t thinking about the ship as the one in leviathan was found broken and crashed. So it’s entirely possible that’s not actually the captains ship and instead the closest one that the scanner located

[quaint jetty]

Does anyone have a list of the milestones/rewards for the redux? I am planning another run and I've forgotten the order (and I stupidly failed to screenshot them during my first run).

I'm trying to go in with a plan (I know! How crazy is that?!)

[indigo falcon]

it might be on the wiki by now

I have such a list but no idea how to get it to you, it's not formatted for a discord post

[atomic laurel]

yeah lets do it

[mossy merlin]

Had to run out for an errand. You gonna be on in a few hours?

[atomic laurel]

yeah just dm me whenever and I'll hop on

[lusty slate]

Not doing Hospitality won't prevent the completion of the expedition. But it will prevent the save from auto converting after all phases are complete, like it did for Leviathan.

[hollow shore]

Good to know, thanks, appreciate the feedback

[quaint jetty]

It'll autoconvert after the expedition is over, though, right?

[lusty slate]

Yeah, should do.

[cinder storm]

I got super lucky with my fleet expeditions this go around

Had 3 expeditions all under 3 hours

[lusty slate]

I can confirm this mainly because I'm a Switch player. Completed all phases the day it released and transferred all rewards to my main. My Polestar save is still in expedition mode, since I can't finish Hospitality.

[ashen shore]

How do I find a broken ship to repair?

[cinder storm]

You can go to a space station and check out players bases

[quaint jetty]

You can buy maps to emergency things in the space station - there's 5? different kinds. If you buy 5 of those maps from the cartographer, at least one will be an emergency beacon.

[cinder storm]

There’s usually a few that will say “broken ship”

Something along those lines

Good lord I cannot type

Yeah that’s the right way to do it

Using another players base is the cheap way 😂

[ashen shore]

I'm on switch so I'll have to do the expensive way lol

[rose shell]

I found this super tiny starfighter while hanging out in a station during the expedition

[rose shell]

nvm

it was a bugged out ship

it reverted to normal size upon system jump

[lusty slate]

You can go to uploaded player bases on Switch. They'll be listed in the space station teleporter. It's just Nexus missions and actively joining others you can't do.

"Passive" community features ( like uploading discoveries, sharing portal codes, uploading bases) we do have access to.

Switch only doesn't have: live multiplayer with other players, settlements, capes and Nexus missions. Everything else is the same.

[zealous nest]

Switch users have their own personal Anomaly. Almost as if... You're in a box.. to. Keep you alive

[atomic laurel]

Switch users are Artemis

[hollow shore]

Some info being dumped, give me a moment so it all remains together.
Thank you!

[hollow shore]

Thank you, carry on!

[ashen shore]

What maps would I purchase for a wrecked starship that needs repaired

[hollow shore]

Thank you for instigating this, much appreciated. We now have all the milestones and rewards listed, check the pins!

[hollow shore]

That would be for distress signals

[ashen shore]

Ok

[sly pond]

Emergency Charts

[graceful orbit]

just finished the expedition for polestar, can I get the role? lmao

[hollow shore]

Check the #roles channel, you can self-assign there

[graceful orbit]

aws, okay ty

[ashen shore]

Where do I learn frigate fuel? I’m getting though these phases at a REALLY fast pace and if I don’t stop and get the frigate missions done now I’ll have to hope on during the weekdays to get it done

[hollow shore]

Phase 3, 'Called by the stars' has Frigate Fuel as a reward

[ashen shore]

Ok thanks

Wait

I need the fuel to do that mission

Catch 22 there

[hollow shore]

Hmm, although it looks like you need to finish a few first, my bad ... lol

[ashen shore]

Haha no worries

[hollow shore]

Talk to the fleet commander, follow instructions. Build the Room for frigate missions, interact with the terminal isnide

[ashen shore]

Kk

[hollow shore]

also check the terminal on the bridge, see if you can unlock any of the fuel.

[ashen shore]

Kk thx

Ah ha found it

It was inside the terminal like you said

So I’ve been walking past it a few hundred times

[hollow shore]

Yes, but I do not think you are required to do it that way, spending on it. Make sure to talk to the NPC for frigate missions and try the Fleet Command Room first

[ashen shore]

Nah dw

[ashen shore]

If I abort the mission would it found toward thr 3 required?

As I can easily get the rest of the missions done tonight

[sly pond]

Iirc correctly as long as there has been 1 successful encounter recall counts towards the goal.

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have any spare crystal sulphide and storm crystals

Any storm crystals or crystal sulphide?

[random ridge]

If you need it for the warp hypercore, check the nexus missions. I got the warp hypercore that way fast 🙂

[unique glen]

OMg I’m an idiot. Nevermind. I was in the wrong menu LOL

[slow jay]

ugh i wish there was a better way to inspect frigates for hire, proximity is a pain especially when you're aiming for one ship only to have another turn you around (on switch, can't mod, just venting)

[quaint jetty]

Whoa! Thanks!

[slow jay]

im an idiot and totally forgot we can just call the dang nautilon in any system once we have the exocraft station on the freighter duh duh

[wicked cloak]

What do the quicksilver icon things do?

[sly pond]

@wicked cloak Nothing

Troll players by making them think they can redeem it.

[wicked cloak]

Ah

Was assuming

Just like the eggs

And ships/multi tools

[ashen shore]

I am major struggling to find a crashed Starship to repair and I don't know where to get the stuff for my Nautilon Scanner and Fuel

[shut plank]

This is strangely odd, all phases completed and the expedition is not marked as finished

[shut plank]

Anyone else encountering this as well in Switch ?

[shut plank]

Owh, never mind. Found the solution. If you encounter this, close the game and relaunch it, the milestones and final phase will be updated. With that. it is done. So glad that I participated Expedition 5-8 from my Switch. Tough cause no online cross multiplayers but it is manageable.

[lusty slate]

I'm on Switch and that happened to me too. Yup, save/reload fixes it, thankfully.

You'll have to wait until the event officially ends for the save to convert though, since Hospitality is still open.

[shut plank]

I don't have Hospitality milestone inside the Expedition listing. So you meant to say, it is hidden inside Switch as it is not removed due to Expedition tied to other platforms (PC, XBOX, PS) ?

[lusty slate]

It's the name of the optional multiplayer milestone for visiting another player's freighter. Not required, but since it's not completed, the save won't auto convert when you finish the phases.

Go into a phase menu and look above, it's listed there. I'm guessing it was too much of a hassle to remove it on just one platform.

Like how Leviathan didn't auto convert upon completion due to open community milestones.

[ashen shore]

Not to bug, but Morgeil you have alot of answers, do you have so more tips for starship finding

[hollow shore]

@shut plank @lusty slate I do suggest to report such issues, even if it may not be fixed during this expedition, we may still be getting 'optional' milestones with future expeditions.

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

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

[lusty slate]

Well, personally I got lucky and the first distress signal planetary chart I purchased was a crashed ship.

Buy about five of those. For navigation data to buy them, there's usually some laying around space stations. Look for blue and orange cubes sitting on desks and tables.

[green igloo]

the Nautilon can scan for sunken crashed ship, accessed through quick menu.
I don't remember how you get Nautilon fuel in Expedition though.

[lusty slate]

Craft it. You should have the fuel recipe unlocked when you have the Nautilon.

[shut plank]

Speaking of Leviathan expedition, is the optional community milestones completed for all phases ? last I entered before save game auto converted, it reaches Phase 4 only.

[lusty slate]

I don't think they did complete. According to others, the community milestones for Leviathan bugged out and all the progress reset close to the end.

[slow jay]

ough finally done with this. so what happens now, do i leave the file alone and it imports my prizes to main file or

[green igloo]

the last milestone is not completed. It seems that required people to play Nexus missions.

[shut plank]

dang! that's a bummer.

[slow jay]

what even after i build this singularity engine?

oh wait y'all talking about something else

[green igloo]

oh I was responding to Alkha about the last expedition

[slow jay]

👌

i am so tired lmao

i did not enjoy this ngl, but FOMO

[hollow shore]

@shut plank @lusty slate This is what I heard from a fellow forum member regarding the community progress for Leviathan towards the end:

On the final day, the in-game counter appeared to completely reset. As a result, all Memory Fragments reverted from X to C class.

And to add to that ...

When the counter reset, already installed X-class & Sentinel Upgrade Modules were nerfed! Apparently they were being artificially stat boosted during the expedition.

[green igloo]

After you complete all the milestones including the optional one, you can convert it to a Normal save and continue to play story quests. Some reward can be claimed in other saves on the Anomaly.

[slow jay]

from what some peeps just said the Switch can't complete it cause Multiplayer requirements right? that's a really ugly oversight

[lusty slate]

Yeah, I had finished and stopped playing that save before it happened, but I read about it. That bites.

[shut plank]

Ok, that's a huge downfall, I only came back in two days after the expedition 7 over, which I didn't get to notice that. I already completed all the milestones and phases in that expedition, just the optional cause it community based.

[hollow shore]

I am sure they'll iron out some issues we come across as long as they are made aware. Especially for Switch, still being a pretty new addition, and a special case (for now at least)

[lusty slate]

It's optional for expedition completion rewards, though. I still completed all phases and transferred everything including the Helios egg to my main.

All Switch players lose out on is the rewards for that specific milestone. And having to wait until the event ends for the save conversion. Not that big a deal.

[slow jay]

ah good

[lusty slate]

However, I am wondering if it's linked to the bug where the game doesn't recognize expedition completion until you reload.

[shut plank]

Another thing I wanna ask, what happen to the reward listing for Expedition 2 - Beachhead ? It seems like most of the rewards in that expedition are removed from Quicksilver synthesis companion counter in Space Anomaly.

[lusty slate]

I did notice that! Anyone know what the Beachhead rewards are?

[shut plank]

The main price for Beachhead is Normandy

[green igloo]

Did that happen recently or some time ago?

[shut plank]

Not sure if it's recently or some time, but I was browsing just and noticed it.

The only reward for Beachhead is Expedition 2 Phase 5 reward

[lusty slate]

I noticed a while ago, when the update that let you view QS items by type hit.

[hollow shore]

The wiki has them listed: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Expedition_2:_Beachhead

I do not recall if the revisited version was any different

[lusty slate]

Ahhhh, I see. Most of its rewards are now normal QS rewards.

Like the armored set, which I already have (thanks, Blighted QS).

But the Normandy is definitely not on the list right now, at least on Switch. Rights issues? I dunno.

[shut plank]

Not just Switch, but PC also is missing.

I think is platform wide, including PS and XBOX if anyone can confirm (those that haven't completed Expedition 2 - Beachhead)

[hollow shore]

Not sure, but it does not appear to be correct, some are missing from expedition menu. There is certainly a difference between earning a reward through expedition to be available on all saves, or getting it through QS.

I do have the Normandy listed, some others from Beachhead are not showing

[ashen shore]

To whoever made a base at a crashed ship, you have my sincerest thanks

[ashen shore]

How do I activate a storm crystal

[hollow shore]

Wait for the Extreme Storm to have started

[slow jay]

are quicksilver purchases able to be picked up in other files via the anomaly, or is it locked in

[native bloom]

Non-consumable QS purchases are unlocked for all saves

[slow jay]

such as say, the character cosmetics?

[native bloom]

Right, buy it on one save and it's free on other saves

[slow jay]

oh thank atlas

[ashen shore]

I just now have to build the singularity engine them activate it and boom I did it

[ashen shore]

Should the log questline mark that its completed? I did all the phases

Nvm I reloaded and it worked

[fallow flare]

@foggy steppe

You need crystal send me your psn or name to add you and give you what you need

[foggy steppe]

Psn is the same as my name on here

[foggy steppe]

@fallow flare

[wet lake]

Idk know anyone that plays the game and I'm looking to complete the optional milestone for Polestar. What's the best way to meet up with a player just for the milestone?

[iron radish]

turn on mp and go to the starter planet

[wet lake]

And then...?

[iron radish]

find someone

theres probably plenty

[wet lake]

Gotcha. I'm assuming I need a mic to be like, "hey, I need to board your freighter."

[iron radish]

just use chat

[rocky valve]

Does anyone know the names of the systems in which each Rendezvous point was located in?

[delicate star]

they are in pinned messages. The first one is in Hazeles-Arudo

[rocky valve]

Where in pinned messages? I can't find them.

[delicate star]

hopefully you can click on the message I am replying to and jump to the message.

[rocky valve]

ahh ok ty

[delicate star]

were you able to jump to the message?

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have a spare hypercore and 3 crystal sulphide

[delicate star]

I am still in the first phase. I hope you find what you need Redneck_Blondie

[meager scroll]

For hypercore just shoot NPC starships and hope one drops them

[graceful orbit]

the sulphide is pretty easy to find

just go to an oceanic planet

or lake

[hot blade]

Where can I find the amino chamber?
I don’t have blueprints

Oh yeah anomaly

[stoic pasture]

How many Redux expeditions have there been?

[wraith venture]

Latest 4 as Redux, first four as "Revisited." So technically all 8 expeditions have had a replay run each

Pinned List of dates showing Revisited and Redux runs: <#nms-expedition message>

[stoic pasture]

God dang it

At least I can do Expeditions 7 and 8

[wraith venture]

Did you do 7? Right now 8 is the one running. And it's a good time to start it

[stoic pasture]

I did 7

Finished it at 04:30 with 18 hours left

[wraith venture]

Nice!

[stoic pasture]

💪😴

[wraith venture]

[fluid frost]

Love all the rewards i'm getting from expedition , just completed phase 1 and got some milestones completed from other phases but it's a bit overwhelming for a new player like myself lol

[winter rover]

Current expedition, I'm literally one milestone away from completion. I'd have liked to be able to complete the optional milestone too...

[indigo falcon]

why can't you do the optional one? just find someone in here or the #nms-lfg-or-trades channel to do it with

[winter rover]

I literally just discovered this server lol. I need someone to join my group to visit their capital ship, I think that's all I need to complete it, right?

[indigo falcon]

as long as both of you don't have your freighters in the system at the same time

[unkempt kraken]

***Visiting a freighter***

Visiting a player freighter for Expedition 8

How to host a freighter visit from another player

Make sure multiplayer is enabled and that you see messages about other player activity.
Be in your freighter with player marker on.
Set Options->Network->Group joins to all.
When someone asks in the discord for a visit, dm the person your NMS friend code, and wait.
• Note that if both you and the visitor are on Playstation, the other player will send you a PSN invite to be a friend; accept it.
• DO NOT accept an invite to play together, it is not needed.
• A similar mechanism exists if both players are on Xbox, or both are on Steam.

How to be the visitor

Add the person's NMS friend code (Network->options->show friend list->add friend)
• Note that if both you and the host are on Playstation, you will get a prompt to invite them to become a PSN friend; do so
• DO NOT invite them to a PSN group or session, no need for this.
• A similar mechanism exists if both players are on Xbox, or both are on Steam.
Now you will go out to the screen where you can choose single player/multiplayer and choose multiplayer.
Then you should see the host's session.
When you load in, you'll be taken to the host's current system. Head towards the other player marker or the freighter icon.
Land in the hangar, claim milestone, go to the space station, save there, and then you should be good to leave the group.
When you do, you will be transported to your original starting point.

That's it!

[indigo falcon]

this procedure is known to work

just hang around or ask in the other channel, note you might have to arrange a time, people aren't always available right away in game

[winter rover]

Ah so I'll need to jump to a different system with my ship to visit their capital ship

[indigo falcon]

no you don't

When you load in, you'll be taken to the host's current system. <--- from the explanation

[winter rover]

Ah, oops, yeah

[indigo falcon]

you don't have to warp around or anything

[winter rover]

Thank you 👍

[frigid shard]

Hey, I keep putting things into my Freighter refiner room, and they just vanish when they’re done refining. Is this a problem anyone else is having?

[serene kettle]

It's been a known bug for a while. It happens to me in regular gameplay, as well. It's usually hit or miss as to how often it happens. The only thing that helps me mitigate it, is staying on my freighter until the refiners are done. Since some of them take a while, I usually put stuff in the refiner before fixing some snacks or a bio-break. They're usually done by the time I get back to the game and the contents don't disappear.

I've also noticed the same thing happens with other types of "collector" devices, as well. Usually my Oxygen collector is always empty, unless I hang around the base and pick it all up before I leave the base.

[frigid shard]

Huh

Ok then

[ashen shore]

Really really wish I didn’t use my warp hypercore now

Damm

Also I can’t find a single frigate to buy

Not one

[serene kettle]

Sometimes, going into a space station then reloading the save will help force spawn some frigates to show up when you exit the station.

[ashen shore]

Ok thx

[random lynx]

nvm

[primal gale]

i cant seem to find a crashed ship for some reason been looking for an hour

[random lynx]

You can purchase a distress signal map.

That leads to ships

[primal gale]

yea i know but i cant fin dnav data it keeps giving me nanites

[random lynx]

If you're playing online, you can find some bases that are in close proximity to crashed ships.

By using the teleporter

[primal gale]

player bases?

[random lynx]

Yeah

[primal gale]

wow you just taught me something today thanks so much

so i got slavaged frigate mods to put on freighter how do i salvage friogates in my main game?

[shrewd pollen]

You can't break down frigates. There are various sources that have low drop rates. The main two sources are frigate expeditions and derelict freighters. Even though the drop rate is supposed to be lower, my friend farmed his exclusively through attacking normal freighters in pirate systems (shooting their pods on the side).
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Salvaged_Frigate_Module#Source

[primal gale]

oh wow okay yea i didnt know they existed tell this exp wow

oh no not those im talking about mods for the freighter

its called a salvaged freighter module

[meager scroll]

SFMs are the items used to buy upgrades for the freighter

Just like you research base construction parts in Anomaly paying with Salvaged Data

[primal gale]

ill take a pic

[meager scroll]

You can research freighter parts and tech on the bridge with SFMs

[shrewd pollen]

You get mods for your freighter by clearing derelict freighters and choosing the tech option at the end.
https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Salvaged_Fleet_Unit

[primal gale]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

well looks like im about to spend some money

[shrewd pollen]

You can also choose cargo bulkheads which increase your tech/cargo inventory

Just know that there are "regions" of space that all contain the same set of derelict freighters (each with a specific name). They may or may not have an S rank one. Each named freighter will always have the same rarity mods on it. So even if you go to 100 systems in the same "region" you will only see the same handful of named freighters with their set rarity of mods.

My friend spent a ton of time trying to find an S class derelict freighter naturally. It was painful for him, though he didn't know about the "regions" thing until later on.

[primal gale]

what is a region?

[shrewd pollen]

A collection of systems

[primal gale]

how can you tell what regions there are?

[shrewd pollen]

When you go to the warp menu it says the region

[primal gale]

ah

[shrewd pollen]

Once he was satisfied with finding an S class derelict freighter naturally we ended up just looking some up since the warp mods and the fuel mods have a range to them (versus the other mods which are always 15%).

[glass stump]

They appeared to me. Do you have that mission selected?

[primal gale]

so once you found it you just stayed in that system?

[shrewd pollen]

Yeah, we farmed a couple systems since they had a low number of total rooms and perfect warp distance. We switched to one that was super short to start working on farming cargo bulkheads.

[glass stump]

OK two questions1) where is the best place to find 8 pirates to kill, and 2) How to use the "squad"

[primal gale]

io dont really care about distance and stuff im pretty stacked on my mine with liviung ships and stuff

[shrewd pollen]

One tip I would give is that if you put the fuel mods in the supercharged slots, your fuel costs drop to super low amounts. That means less effort to go get tritium.

[primal gale]

oh okay

[ashen shore]

I found some in the end

[primal gale]

so s class derelicts are gonna be in what regions?

[shrewd pollen]

It's random

If you want to look them up, there's a spreadsheet floating around on reddit

[primal gale]

oh how do you know what class it is?

[shrewd pollen]

You can use your visor

[primal gale]

ah

[shrewd pollen]

Or just accept the mod at the end

[errant agate]

Looking for help with the visit another players freighter expedition mission, newish to the game would love to knock it out

[glass stump]

In the last system?

[glass stump]

Call up the Nexus and ask there.

[boreal heron]

Is there any way to track down a specific shape of system freighter?

[hollow shore]

Not really, although tied to the system when it comes to looks. You could look for players who posted coordinates for their finds. You can check here in #explorers-archive or search online. There are some sub-reddits posting finds as well. Make sure to use search features well to help find what you are looking for

[ashen shore]

nah, i used the special warp thing

[hollow shore]

@boreal heron (do make sure that posted finds are at least somewhat recent to increase odds in finding the same)

Oh and we have #nms-legacy-ships too, but likely not many if any freighters.

[glass stump]

??Special Warp thing?

[ancient pivot]

the black hole generator you get at the end of this expedition

[glass stump]

Ahh OK.

[lusty slate]

I just summoned my Helios on main and the name generator decided on Witchita.

[safe fog]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/696003143842136114/1061765130297290842/323437801_641281337687425_5697909395797653495_n.png?width=1205&height=678

There we go.

Finished on Switch

[foggy steppe]

Anyone in polestar have a spare hypercore and 3 crystal sulphide

[open harness]

What expedition are we up to?

Polestar still?

Anything new since the switch release not counting the old expedition reruns?

[rocky valve]

Don't think so

[random lynx]

Any locations for storm crystals in Polestar?

[sinful aurora]

There is a base at rendezvous 1 and 2 that blocks you from grabbing one of the cargo pods, is that supposed to be there for a reason?

[vagrant olive]

Anyone want to trade friend codes to do the hospitality milestone

[sinful aurora]

I'm in the starter system if you need, can dm the friend code

[winged perch]

There is a website that archives known item locations, from Freighters, to Ships, to Multitools, by appearance and (for ships and MT) class.

No Mans Sky Coordinate Exchange, nmsce.com is the site

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have any spare crystal sulphide and hypercore

[glass stump]

OK, so how to find a crashed ship. Is it the "destress signal" Map. Tried one and it took me to an abandoned building with eggs.

[quaint jetty]

There are several different emergency beacon maps - distress signal is one, freighter is another, observatory and abandoned building.

The trick is to buy several maps because it won't serve you up two of the same kind.

[glass stump]

So which maps do I buy?

[quaint jetty]

Also, some distress signals turn out to be pilots with broken ships, who just want help fixing them. Which is seriously underwhelming.

You buy the emergency maps from the cartographer - I usually buy 5 as insurance.

[glass stump]

OK< I bought 2. We will see if the second one is magic

[quaint jetty]

Then when you activate each, it'll tell you what it is. "Abandoned building" or "Distress signal" or what have you.

[glass stump]

thanks

[quaint jetty]

No worries.

[glass stump]

Did you get what you need. I have 2 spare crystal sulphide

[foggy steppe]

Not yet

[quaint jetty]

@glass stump have you finished the expedition?

Sorry, spoiler. ||Because you need sulphide at the last step too.||

[glass stump]

Didn't know that.

[glass stump]

Looks like I no longer have spares. Sorry.

[foggy steppe]

No worries

[sinful aurora]

I got 5 extra, I'm at rendezvous 3

[foggy steppe]

Sweet On my way!

[sinful aurora]

Want to meet at the space station in Emnika iii?

[foggy steppe]

Sure

[foggy steppe]

Anyone need help with the hospitality milestone? About to finish and just wondering if anyone need it before I finish the expedition

[spare harbor]

How do I find ships using the expeditions or do the new expeditions??

[limpid moth]

Im actually gonna lose my mind looking for a storm crystal lmao

[sinful aurora]

In the pins it says a planet in the 4th point has storm ctystals

[limpid moth]

ah i missed that thanks

[sinful aurora]

No problem

[limpid moth]

could i visit someone's freighter base quickly? just wanna get the milestone outta the way

[sinful aurora]

I'm at RV 4 if you need

[limpid moth]

yeah im at rv4 rn too

[sinful aurora]

Sometime they have people in different servers, can dm friend code of needed

[limpid moth]

sorry ive basically never used the multiplayer before so which would be easier?

[sinful aurora]

I'll dm you

[limpid moth]

sounds good

[full sun]

I’ll bet this has been discussed but is it just me or is anyone else unhappy about the people who put bases in the middle of the crashed freighters so nobody could salvage the Cargo pods

[sinful aurora]

Yeah that's annoying

[full sun]

Hey, do they switch you to different servers once you return to a normal save? I was going to hang out at rendezvous 2 in case someone needed a freighter visit but I don’t see any Nearby Players (plenty in the anomaly tho)

[sudden anchor]

I’ve never seen that

[pallid escarp]

wew

[full sun]

I saw someone getting the pods on Twitch, but when I tried at rendezvous 3/4/5 they all had bases right there so I couldn’t use the terrain manipulator

[sudden anchor]

That’s annoying

[sinful aurora]

I think I saw 1,3,4 and 5 had them. It wasnt like that a few days ago when I first did it

[serene kettle]

If someone puts a base somewhere that blocks access to something, just report the base and it should disappear in a day or two.

[rocky valve]

is there a community expedition?

[full sun]

I did report the last one

[scarlet ocean]

Polestar is happening right now, yes.

[sinful aurora]

I couldn't report the bases since the computer was buried. Unless there is another way

[sly pond]

@sinful aurora Quickmenu, far right, shows up as an option whenever you're on base property.

[sinful aurora]

I will keep that in mind next time, thank you!

[green igloo]

that's awesome, I didn't know that

[unkempt igloo]

Was it really necessary to put every rdv spot under f#%$&!* water?!

[indigo falcon]

that's a "feature" of this expedition, yeah

[wraith junco]

You can land on the freighter wreck part that sticks out above water 😉

[void lodge]

This , and it's close to the RV point too , I used that when doing the redux👍

[hushed lava]

When I see a planet with these worm creatures, I fly STRAIGHT OUT OF THERE

[quaint jetty]

The ones that get me are the ones with lots of legs - giant sky millipedes. I may have renamed a planet "nope, nope, no way" once (before I realized that everyone could see what I renamed them as).

[hushed lava]

Imagine when someone finds the planet 💀

[quaint jetty]

Oh I named things far worse than that. There's a system somewhere called "just passing through"

[hushed lava]

Lol awesome

[pallid escarp]

first I freaked out i was like « wtf is this » lmao

[wraith junco]

Finished the expedition in 5.5h. I speed up the phases a bit by unlocking rooms with sfm reward that are needed to get next milestones done. Oddy enough i had a problem with pirates. They didint want to spawn in and fight me even in 3* conflict and outlaw systems so i had to do space station missions

[ashen shore]

All done, and had only help with one thing.

[indigo falcon]

nice to see people getting it done! woo hoo!

[rich ember]

Is this a recycled expedition or a new one?

[sudden anchor]

Recycled

[winter rover]

Redux expedition

[atomic laurel]

anyone located any runaway mold in the expedition, have the coords for it and the portal glyphs?

or at least "it's on this planet in this system"

[wraith junco]

You get nanites needed for squadrom from milestones. No need searching for runaway mold

[atomic laurel]

im short

also not what i asked

sorry i have been feeling super punchy today and im not sure why..i took a nap thinking i was tired but man i still feel punchy

[candid token]

How do I do this?

[wraith junco]

You need to join other player and land on his freighter

[candid token]

I am on switch and it shows me this milestone. Is it actually possible to see other players freighters any way besides multiplayer?

[indigo falcon]

no, I'm sorry to say that switch players won't be able to do this

they will get a lot more qs for completion though

[candid token]

I'm really trying to figure out why it even shows this on switch then.

Unless there was some way to complete it without multiplayer

[atomic laurel]

merely negligence

[wraith junco]

The milesotne is optional. Atlas pass can be unlocked on anomaly i think and glyphs from travelers graves i think

[indigo falcon]

all of that is true, it's just a nice perk to have the glyphs already at the end

[atomic laurel]

its a lazy negligent thing for them to not provide something else for switch players really

that does the same thing

[indigo falcon]

consider the extra quicksilver a gesture in that regard

not perfect but that's how it is

however...

!hg

[unkempt kraken]

There's a really weird vibe i've noticed from people in this server that's like I Drank the Koolaid

[indigo falcon]

hm I think more like "I submitted a bug report/feature request, that's all I can do about it"

[atomic laurel]

No any time anyone says something mildly critical there's always someone to jump in like Soldiersleepingchild.jpg

and it's weird

[indigo falcon]

well people have all kinds of opinions about things in the game, so that's to be expected. if someone says 'Polestar, so chill, love it', someone else will say 'too easy', and so on. 🤷

[atomic laurel]

lol

[indigo falcon]

what I think was a huge bummer for switch players qas not having nexus missions at release. and I truly hope they are working on that.

(disclaimer: not a switch player)

[sinful aurora]

You handled that well apergos

[atomic laurel]

he wasn't gonna stop replying

[wraith junco]

Yeah i kinda was hyped for metting switch players in nms.

[fringe agate]

Imagine that, replying in a discussion - nuts

[atomic laurel]

i mean it was a sealion situation so i just disengaged

as i am now going to do again

I have role, not muted

It's all good. Too late now

[ashen shore]

So are we going to be getting anymore reduced Expeditions after this one

[ocean gorge]

This is the last planned redux afaik, for now anyway

[ashen shore]

@ocean gorge dang, wonder what's next.

[ocean gorge]

Idk maybe there’ll be a completely new expedition coming soon?

I finally finished, now I need to find someone’s freighter to visit

[wraith junco]

Announcment of New update with expedition In next month hopefully 🙏

[void citrus]

@ocean gorge still need a freighter I made a new save so you could land on it

[lusty slate]

Probably more to do with making sure the Switch update for redux released at the same time as other platforms. If they had to make changes just to remove the optional milestone, it would have very likely delayed it. And the updates for Switch had just caught up by then (we were 1-2 behind everyone else for a while).

And it's... literally not a big deal. Doesn't affect us completing Polestar or getting all the phase rewards. All I lost out on is 5mil, the atlas pass set and glyphs in a save I will barely touch again. Whoo.

And across all of Redux, Switch has gotten approx 20k+ free quicksilver compensation + a free void egg. I'm happy.

[iron radish]

ok still got time

[dim barn]

Any good planets for storm crystals?

[calm flax]

Check the transporter in the space station. I went into resources and selected to locate activated copper during the expedition. I was directed to a system close to me. I've found that activated copper planets generally have storm crystals.

[dim barn]

Yeahhh, a momnet after I asked, I found a good base

[ashen shore]

Search for activated copper, that can be found in yellow systems which don't require any hyperdrive upgrades, but any activated metal will do

[dim barn]

I think that's how it works, look for a while, then ask, and immediately find the answer anyways

There is a planet in the last step

Several bases for it

[ashen shore]

Just saw the reply my keyboard covers half the screen lol mb

[calm flax]

I found a base the first time I did the expedition for storm crystals. Couldn't remember where it was

[dim barn]

Hahah, no worries, thanks tho. Looked it up, saw that the "Activated" material planets are what to look for

Always good to learn a new thing

[atomic laurel]

Finally done

[calm flax]

Where can I get the base computer? I haven't seen a reward for it.

[dim barn]

Same... A little bummed was helping a friend through it, didn't know it would force me into a normal save at the end

[atomic laurel]

R4 system has a planet with activated copper, and storm crystals

[dim barn]

Yeah, so did R5

[atomic laurel]

Oh ah didn't see that

[calm flax]

I built a base in the beginning system my first playthrough. I found a procedually generated base computer.

[atomic laurel]

Yeah uh how do you get that lol

I did the whole thing without it

Does it give it when you finish

[calm flax]

It's a procedually generated base computer

[dim barn]

I started a couple days late, I never bothered building one

[calm flax]

They was more of a thing before they removed portal interference. Helped you get to the center.

[atomic laurel]

I can't build one on my expedition save

I just did the whole thing without it

But I saw all these bases so I assumed I was missing something

[dim barn]

I know you can get to the nexus, people might have just paid for it

[calm flax]

It didn't help me to build one myself. I just built the base because I could.

[dim barn]

Not sure if the plan is there to get

[atomic laurel]

Not that I saw

[dim barn]

I cant check now.. this was a fast one, might run it a couple more times, those S Class freighter upgrades are super hot, and I have friends that can help get them to my main save

[atomic laurel]

So I don't know how tf you're supposed to get it. I don't know what flash is talking about

[dim barn]

Yeah, I'm curious now

[atomic laurel]

Obviously one can, I saw lots of bases

[dim barn]

Yeah, same

[atomic laurel]

I thought maybe it was something I'd get at the end but I just finished and quit for the night...maybe unlocked when you're done I dunno

How do you get those freighter upgrades to the main save?

[dim barn]

It forces you into a normal save after

[atomic laurel]

Oh right

[dim barn]

You trade them to a friend, and then change save, then they give them back

[atomic laurel]

So you can transfer from one person...yep

[dim barn]

ya

Is what I do expeds for, lol

[calm flax]

what I plan on doing is loading my Xbox save and visiting myself on my Steam save then doing the opposite

[dim barn]

Hahah, nice

I am a completionist, and recent finished all the languages except atlas, which Im working on

[calm flax]

I've done it before for differeent thngs. I found out I have to get out of the ship so I can see myself

[dim barn]

I'm not about to go through that for each exped save, lol

[calm flax]

After what seems like forever I finally finished the last achievement on my Steam account. Kept forgetting about it.

[dim barn]

I have a couple to do

The exped 7 will get me a couple

Buy stock in coffee everyone, when I do my hardcore run, will be a lot of coffee consumed

[calm flax]

anyone figured out how to get a base computer yet?

You don’t get the base computer until you finish the expedition

This is a freighter-centric expedition so you’re supposed to use your freighter as your base

[dim barn]

hmmm, then how are there so many bases?

There are bases all over

Must be SOME way

[ocean gorge]

They’re people that have gone back after they finished and made bases, often to help people starting out on the expedition with stuff they can sell. Really helped me a lot, I found a lot of NipNip bids, gravatino balls, and also places with lots of resources as well like silver (good for freighter bases) and cobalt and oxygen as well

[dim barn]

Ahhh, I was thinkin it kinda kicked people away so they wouldnt mix, but that makes sense

[ocean gorge]

It’s a pretty good community overall. I remember back in Blighted, omg, I went to several bases where I collected like 32k gold, and did that several times, and made quite a lot of units. It was awesome

[dim barn]

yeahhh

[calm flax]

I thought that when you completely ended the expedition it turned the save into a normal save and you wouldn't be able to interact with the people still in the expedition. I also checked the last reward to finish the expedition and it doesn't show the base computer as a reward so I didn't try.

[dim barn]

You can't directly interact with players still in it, but you can get to the system and build stuff that they can see

[scarlet ocean]

Still can if you just don't do the optional quest :P

[wraith junco]

there a probably some here who did it

[indigo falcon]

oh. I did them all yes, ps5

I'm not doing these redux ones though, I did the original runs, that's good enough for me

[trail iron]

There are (rare) naturally spawning computers "in the wild" that are a relic of past versions of the game. They can still be found strewn about the universe, and have no owner until claimed.

[glass stump]

In this last Expedition, Expedition 8 (redux) do you get the plans for the singularity drive that you can transfer to your other accounts? I have completed this expedition but didn't see where it was a reward. Are my hopes dashed?

[indigo falcon]

you get the blueprint in phase 5

but it's not a reward that you can transfer to other saves

[glass stump]

😢 Major bummer. I missed it the first time and was hoping to get it this time. Sigh. I hope they do a redux of that at some point.

[glass stump]

And thanks for the clarification.

[indigo falcon]

if you did the expedition, original or redux, that save file will have the singularity drive, you can always continue to play that save

[rough turtle]

anyone able to help with the hospitality milestone?

[glass stump]

That's true, but I would like it on my main save where I've done 99 % of my grinding. S class freighter, 8 s class ships and so on. Guessing can't have everything. 😝

[rocky fern]

I started playing No Man’s Sky
right before the
Holiday Expedition Reduxes
started, and now I’ll probably
mostly play only when
Expeditions are happening.

How frequent are Expeditions,
outside of this magical event?

[glass stump]

If the numbering is sequential, then not very often as this is #8

[rocky fern]

Sure, but repeats don’t seem to be super uncommon.

Also, if I start the Expedition now but don’t finish it, can I still play that file after the Expedition ends?

[glass stump]

With that said, I have played 3 years and these are the first ones I've done. I like tge main game.

[rocky fern]

(I’ve finished it already, just curious.

[indigo falcon]

4 a year, each running for 6 weeks, is what we had for the last two years, plus content updates in between

[glass stump]

Yes, but not with the milestone, just as a normal save

[indigo falcon]

dunno if they'll stick to that this year

[glass stump]

Come on singularity drive redux

[indigo falcon]

polestar redux is happening now.

one rerun is all any of them seem to get

[glass stump]

Ok, I'm confused. Was the singularity drive a reward for the first polestar expedition?

It wasn't this time around.

[south dune]

It was on the first polestar yeah

It’s not there now?

[glass stump]

In the expedition yes, as a reward that you can claim on other saves, no.

[south dune]

Yeah, it was never account wide

[glass stump]

Oh, so it was ALWAYS just on that one expedition save. bumnmer

[ashen shore]

I played this expedition on PS5 time to play it on PC again :D

Really wish there will be cross save one day

[sly pond]

@south dune ((psst... don't say anything about Expedition 3, lol))

[fluid frost]

How does homeworld repeater work , i used broadcast function but not sure what 2 do ..?
"Deep cruise" phase5 polar expedition

[glass stump]

Take you ship out into space and then press it. It will give you a destination or just pul;se (can't remember which now)

IIRC you will come upon a deep space object that you talk with.

[fluid frost]

🙂 Thank you

Found it

[atomic laurel]

That's cool

[shy dagger]

so maybe a new one (that haves the sentinel trail as a reward) may come soon?

[devout rune]

Anybody who can help with the optional milestone ?

[shy dagger]

wtf, why is my ship sparking and flaming but its good in the inside? ;-;

[ocean gorge]

Is that after repair on your freighter? Mine did that too. It’s fine, it’ll be normal after you reload your game (which you don’t need to do unless you want to)

[ocean gorge]

It would help if you specified what platform, even better you can select platform under #roles

[devout rune]

I’m on ps5

[south dune]

You could also ask in #nms-expedition if anyone else needs it too, or the lfg one? if no one gets ya here

[ocean gorge]

This is expeditions xD

[south dune]

omg

[devout rune]

Lol

[ocean gorge]

Dw I’ve done that too

[fluid frost]

😅
