How did I end up here? monkamega

ocean gorge
#

If I’ve finished the expedition can I help someone by them coming to my freighter?

south dune
#

I’m actually curious if that does work… assuming not if the save’s converted?

fluid frost
ocean gorge
#

Mine is converted, but I think I visited someone yesterday who said they were finished and it worked for me. I just don’t want to waste someone’s time and it not work for them

fluid frost

#

Dang there’s a lot more time on polestar than I thought there was

ocean gorge
# devout rune Correct

I’m on my freighter, I could try and add you and invite you, if you want. The worst that could happen is it doesn’t work, but that’s up to you. Lemme know if you’d like me to try it, I play on PS5

#

Oh the person said they made a new save to invite me, so I guess that’s what I’d have to do

ocean gorge
#

Yeah so I have a new save if you wanted me to invite you to my newly banged up freighter lol😂 @devout rune

split junco
#

mmm tasty polestar

#

polestar is the last redux correct, or do we get exped 9 redux?

#

honeslty idrembr if there is exped 9

thick marten
#

nah polestar is the latest

south dune
#

nah polestar’s the last! no exp 9 yet

thick marten
#

im surprised at how easy it is. i didnt expect player bases literally everywhere supplying thousands of supplies lol

#

do those stick around from the first time the expedition launched or does every redux wipe those bases?

clever wren
#

can someone help me please? with hospitality milestone

thick marten
#

wish i could mate, dont have ps+

clever wren
#

no worries, it' s done finally 😄
Finished the expedition

shy dagger
#

hey guys, do i have to install the various engines on the freighter or i can just do the ship?

pastel star
#

for the expedition you dont have the techs unlocked to adjust your ship like that. Though you need none of the additional engines to complete this expedition if you so choose

thick marten
#

So I just now noticed who my Expedition freighter captain is..

ashen shore
#

thats the thing i was upset about, i have my main save that i wanted it on, but cant get it.

#

yeah this one was actually pretty easy, i had only asked for help on the teleporter chamber. cuz i was missing the part.

#

so are they adding a new expendtion after this one or just rerunning previous ones?

warm coral
#

Sorry I'm a little out of the loop, just started this expedition

My refiners are kinda duplicating items and it's actually quite good stuff too

Is this normal or am I just lucky?

Polestar COMPLETE! Getting an extra hypercore was a pain in the ass because I couldn't travel to colored stars to more easily find storm crystals.
There were two extreme storm planets I found along the route & neither of them had crystals.
I eventually got an extra hypercore from a suspicious package out of a pirate station.

I also started the expedition late [only 5 days left in it] so I was rushing like mad to do it all.😅

#

Anyways, unless they do more expedition reruns soon, I'm finally done!
It was quite stressful sometimes, but still fun!

Why 8 twice? romantoilet

wraith venture

This offers the opportunity for anyone who missed out, to still get the expedition rewards.

Does anyone know how to get the base computer? I just finished the expedition twice and claimed all rewards on my Xbox expedition and still don't have the base computer.

As far as I can tell yeah, not that it really does anything functionally

I kind of want one, because I'm a completist, but not about to redo everything on a new save, lol

I mean my normal save has all languages learned, etc

dim barn
#

But cant get the singularity drive on it, because it wasnt a polestar expedition save

wraith venture
# dim barn I mean my normal save has all languages learned, etc

You don't have to redo any of that in your expedition save. For most players, it's a throwaway type of expedition since the main rewards become cross-save. But obviously in respect to this drive, yeah, you'd have to keep that save if you really wanted it

dim barn
#

Has there been any word if they will be running any more redux? Still a few expeditions I haven't done yet

what about the multiplayer medal

patent canyon
#

That's how I already got my reward for getting 6 000 000+ 💰 . (With the rewards from the objectives included.)

#

Also during the completing objectives you should get scanner updates - they make scanning earn tons of 💰 too.

shy dagger

#

My bet is that it will either be based on the following update. Or it will be something experimental, like Leviathan and Emergence was.

#

Where could i find the storm crystal?

i really cant find crystals, and cant get in other star systems

patent canyon
#

Are they so rare again in this expedition?!

wraith junco
#

I think there should be at least 1 system with storm crystal planet on track of expedition route.

patent canyon
#

Though if you need storm crystals just for crafting something, you can also find them at Derelict Freighters.

#

Unless there is same objective which was in Leviathan.

#

Which required finding the ones at planets.

trail iron
#

you can find them shooting hihydrogen too, and opening the geodes and glowing whatevers you get doing it

#

(storm crystals, that is)

#

and sometimes as rewards fro missions

is it possible to get a singularity drive in normal nms?

@soft kiln Transplant into another save requires editing, but a save created for Expd8 will be converted to Survival, and can then have custom settings applied.

ah thanks

slender gale
#

Hi everyone, quick question, is anybody near an extreme weather planet? I accidentally used my hypercore and need it to complete the expedition so I need a storm crystal to craft another one

sinful aurora
#

If you cant get one, I'll be on in like an hour and a half.

slender gale
#

Thanks, Ill let you know if I find one, looking for different planets to see if I can get the right one

sinful aurora
#

No problem. Pinned comments also has a world with storm crystals (i think randevouz 4)

slender gale
#

Ill check it out

Nice, I'm glad you got it!

#

On expedition 8 has anyone found an on path planet to get storm crystals?

twilit haven
#

in the pins

candid token
#

I looked.

#

Don't see that info

twilit haven
slender gale
candid token
# twilit haven

That is not helpful for someone looking for storm crystals.

twilit haven
#

bruh. it literally says where storm crystals are

#

If you really want them, marsh planet Erylanaith Otsu (R4 system Anggierfo) has them.

candid token
#

I didn't see that entire section because I stopped going down at the part where it lists all the expedition rewards for all the expeditions

twilit haven
#

so when you said "I looked" what you meant was you didn't. ok

candid token
#

No I looked on my cell phone which can only show so much at once and scrolled down as far as looked to be the end of this specific expedition.

twilit haven
#

it's okay to say you didn't see it but don't tell me what i gave you wasn't helpful when it's literally the section that tells you where storm crystals are

thick marten
#

Oh silly me, you already mentioned that up there

#

No the words I chose were appropriate. Someone specifically looking for storm crystals doesn't need the tip about saving a hypercore. I don't need them for a hypercore. I am trying to farm them. I just wanted to know if anyone found a good planet for them along the expedition route as I already completed it all.
Not trying to insult you or say anything bad. I just was looking for a planet name with system name not a "check pins" (which I did, just didn't realize it kept going farther down) thanks for offering up some info but yeah.

twilit haven
#

lol ok dude. can't admit you just missed the info

candid token
#

On mobile this is how much I can see at once. And in scrolling down (it taking a lot longer on mobile) when I got this far I didn't see a point in scrolling down more.

#

And this reply gave me all the information I needed.
Thank you Mikaru

twilit haven
#

it's not a character flaw to overlook stuff. it might be a character flaw to attack people that help you because you overlooked stuff

candid token
#

I'm not attacking you. I said thank you for offering some information but the part about saving a hypercore doesn't help someone who is looking for storm crystals.

twilit haven
#

ok but what does it say right after the part about saving the hypercore. literally the next sentence.

candid token
# twilit haven so when you said "I looked" what you meant was you didn't. ok

In the most unhelpful way possible it begrudgingly says that "if you really need them", then where they are.

But before it says that it shows a title saying "how to complete milestones" which doesn't help me, and it says that I get a hypercore on a certain milestone and to save it. Which also doesn't help.

So the main bulk of that picture doesn't help. Only the last 5 words are. And for that information I did say thank you and reacted to your messages with a thumbs up 👍.

While we are on this discussion about what people could or couldn't do or how to act or reply in this chat. Don't you think this message is unnecessary and part of why we are still discussing this?

twilit haven
#

i didn't write the message, the way it's worded isn't my responsibility. it's not even my responsibility to answer your question, but i did. and what i got in return was being told i'm not being helpful, which is categorically untrue

but also, the reason we have pins is so people don't have to repeat the information

limber drift
#

Hey all. My last objective is to recruit two more freighters. Any tips and tricks to get this done really quickly? Already got the leviathan one. No idea on the mechanics that spawn these.

#

Frigates? Not freighters? Apologies if I've got them the wrong way around.

remote thunder
#

frigates, yep; can only own 1 freighter, but up to 30 frigates

#

frigates should just spawn around in space,

#

@limber drift ^

limber drift
#

Do I need to warp to a new system every time I recruit one?

twilit haven
#

i don't think so

limber drift
#

And is there a cooldown on another spawning?

remote thunder
#

no - you simply need to despawn the existing 2

limber drift
#

And will me having a broken frigate stop more spawning until its fixed?

remote thunder
#

damaged frigates won't stop you from hiring more at all

#

you're limited to 30 frigates

limber drift
#

Thanks!

remote thunder
#

can't hire more than 1 living frigate per system though - but that's different

fleet meadow
#

Just a little tip; you can also get warp hypercores from Suspicious Packs, which pirate space stations also sell, I believe it's the goods variant.
Try that if storm crystal hunting isn't working out for you.

sinful aurora
#

Has anyone else had issues when loading into the expo and being glitched inside the freighter? All I can do is die to reload somewhere else

rough turtle
#

I can't get more frigates for some reason, the icon for them doesn't show up and comms are unavailable

finite rover
#

how many do you have?

rough turtle
#

1

sly pond
#

The number of recruitable frigates in systems varies, and can be 0.

rough turtle
#

is it 0 in Nomyussko?

sly pond
#

No clue, just saying until youve tried in a handful of systems, you dont have evidence that there's an issue with the game.

rough turtle
#

I haven't come across any recruitable frigates during my expedition so far

sly pond
#

Okay, in how many systems were you actually looking for recruitable frigates? If it's at least 5 or 6, a bug report to ZenDesk is worth considering.

rough turtle
sly pond
#

Paying attention specifically to whether NPC fleets spawning in put green frigate markers on your compass at close range.

#

They don't show up outside of 1000-2000u at most, iirc.

rough turtle
#

Yeah, might've just gotten unlucky then

sly pond
#

What I'm unsure of is the precise distance, much harder to eyeball in space and no good way to measure.

rough turtle
#

Do any settings like Multiplayer matter?

even after I dismiss the living frigate I recruited I still can't get new one from that same system?

In that case you can, but unless you got the 1st one with Dream Aerial it'll be identical

I see. Thank you.

#

currently doing the expedition, end of phase 2: Although I have multiplayer enabled, playing in a group - I can't see other players freighters. Why?

wraith venture
cyan canyon
#

yes

wraith venture
# cyan canyon yes

Is your own freighter spawned? You may have to dismiss it so they can spawn theirs

#

You can't have multiple freighters out while in group. Only one player's at a time.

been a bit since my last proper expedition; is polestar new? i don't think it is but i just want to make sure just in case i miss it

Where speedy version?

#

How far am I scrolling

ornate oasis
#

I’m a relatively new player (about 100 hours played). Is this (or any) expedition worth doing as a new player or should I focus on the main game for now?

thick marten
#

seeing as expeditions take place on different saves, they're all worth doing pretty much

ashen vessel
thick marten
#

check the rewards at the anomaly to see if you want any of it

#

polestar has a pretty good looking cape thats pretty much the main reason why i did it

ashen vessel
#

What it says phase 1 complete does that mean I have finished it?

thick marten
#

if all the milestones are completed then yes

#

completed phase 1

ashen vessel
#

Oh no there's 5 💀

thick marten
#

check Final Phase for a summary of which phases you finished

#

well yeah

ashen vessel
#

Do I have to do them all

ornate oasis
#

So more than 3 hours huh? Lol

thick marten
#

but you can do them randomly, not in order

ashen vessel
#

How do I check rewards?

thick marten
thick marten
#

itll list all the rewards and their prerequisites

ashen vessel
#

To much I give up

thick marten
#

its honestly a very easy expedition to do

ashen vessel
#

Yes however I'm an incredibly lazy person

thick marten
#

i hear that

#

only reason i did it was to get the Fleet Commander cape

#

initially thought i have to do it all in order (cape is for phase 4), was in the middle of 3 when i realized i can do it randomly

#

decided to just finish the whole thing

ashen vessel
#

I want the egg but does that mean I cmhave to complete it all

thick marten
#

yep the egg is the reward for completing the entire expedition

ashen vessel
#

I'm no longer incredibly lazy

thick marten
#

its a miracle

ashen vessel
#

What is the hardest phase

hot blade
#

This is one of the easier expeditions imo

#

Hardest phase might be 5 if you don’t have the nanites/units for some purchases

ashen vessel
#

It says read the crew log but there is no log I've been scammed

hot blade
#

But as long as you’re collecting/processing your goops you should be fine

hot blade
hot blade
#

You’ll need more for the whole thing

#

I’d say close to 15000

ashen vessel
hot blade
#

There’s a mold farm in R5 for nanites

ashen vessel
#

I was just there damn it

hot blade
#

For me this expo was setup so each milestone led easily into the next

#

All you mainly need to do is stay on top of units/nanites/silver

ashen vessel
#

I lucked out I found a couple good salvage data's so I have 7 million units I've just been buying my way through phase 1

#

Not data I forgot what the othere one is called you destroyed the container then the sentinels come

hot blade
#

Salvage scrap I think

ashen vessel
#

That's the one

hot blade
#

Try scrapping some ships for quick units

There’s some bases pointing the way but you can also use the signal booster on abandoned planets to find them.

ashen vessel
#

Ew the second rendezvous point is in the ocean that's foul making me swim all the way over there

hot blade
#

You can use the anomaly teleport trick to repair them without using resources as well

hot blade
ashen vessel
#

My small brain dosnt understand any of those words you just wrote I'm not going to lie but thank you anyways

#

Idk what a nautilon or an orbital materializer is

hot blade
#

Look through the milestones and see what you could be doing now

They’re all open so sometimes you can do stuff from phase 4 while still in R1

hot blade
#

*as long as your freighter is in the system

ashen vessel
#

Oh Ik my bad

#

Does everyone start with the same ship?

hot blade
#

I think so

pastel star
#

if not exact then very similar

hot blade
#

This game sometimes I swear

ashen vessel
#

Yeah I sort of already gave up

hot blade
#

Whutchumeen?

ashen vessel
#

To much work I'm too lazy

hot blade
#

Yeah I did it over a few days

#

Took like 3-4

ashen vessel
#

I haven't had carbon in weeks because I'm to lazy to get some never mind all these phases

hot blade
#

You have online?
There’s so many bases for carbon

ashen vessel
#

To much effort I'd rather just continue being carbonless

#

But I made some of those wall tray things ti get carbon so I'm just waiting on those

hot blade
#

Save and reload fixed my previous issue

ashen vessel
#

Guess I'll be going now tho goodbye 👋

hot blade
#

Yeah see you all next expo or if multiplayer comes out for Switch

ashen vessel
#

No multilayer on switch that is indeed sad

winter rover
#

Or maybe 7. I remember going to bed at 5 in the morning

hot blade
#

Yeah this was a relatively easy one
Congrats on that time tho

winter rover
#

I was a lot easier than Leviathan

#

I did manage, however, to not die a single time (except for the milestone that requires you to die)

crimson rose
#

Anyone down for visiting each others Freighters to unlock the Glyphs reward real quick?

thick marten
# hot blade There’s a mold farm in R5 for nanites

Yeah, whoever made it made it very easy. You just harvest the mould balls (farm is closed off so even if Sentinels see you they can't do jack), slam them in the refiners, use the teleporters to reach the end, go back, et voilá - the mould balls are there again

#

Just go to the space station and open the teleporter, there's dozens of player bases all with different stuff for free. The only thing I had to "grind" for were Storm Crystals but not really because there's bases on planets called "storm crystals" so you just TP and wait for a storm

How often do expeditions get released? I just started playing and was wondering how important it is to start the expedition.

wraith venture
# hard whale How often do expeditions get released? I just started playing and was wondering ...

They're not released that often. We have this pinned list of dates when past expeditions have released: <#nms-expedition message>

Since each expedition has its own set of exclusive rewards, I'd recommend doing this latest one we have live, before the event ends Jan 18 (as long as you can start a new save before Jan 16). It's a relatively easy expedition. And people in this channel can try to help with tips. You can also ask other basic gameplay questions in #nms-questions.

#

What's also cool about you starting with this expedition is that when the event ends, the save will convert to Normal mode, and you can continue your journey in that save, as if you started with a new Normal save. Or...

#

If you've already started a Normal save, the main rewards from the expedition save, once completed and claimed in that save, they become available in your other save(s).

wraith venture
thick marten
#

^ Not to mention that since the expedition redux has been in progress for days now, there's tons of player bases giving out so much stuff you need for free

#

I completed it in like five hours in one sitting and the only thing I needed to "grind" myself were Storm Crystals (used a player base called Storm Crystals to get to a storm planet) and Nanites (using a player base called Nanite Farm with mould balls and refiners handy)

#

Just make sure you turn off MP before you take the free stuff, so its there for other peeps too

hard whale
#

Thank you. I’ll start it up and hopefully get it done before the 18th. I’m away from PlayStation all weekend and was worried about rushing through it. I have been having fun just exploring and salvaging ships.

thick marten
#

With the help of the masses of player bases giving out free shit, it's honestly trivially easy to do.

pastel star
#

the amount of freighter base parts given out in this one is very nice as well, one of the better starts. thats a lot of SFM to not have to farm

hard whale
#

That is good to hear. I haven’t gotten to the freighter part just yet. I unlocked the Anomoly and then went exploring.

Ultra extreme hyper storm

The activated metal is a good thing to look for, any planet with storm crystals will have activated metal, not every activated metal planet will have storm crystals

The NipNip farms are really nice, but the resource farms help a lot as well, especially to have silver for freighter building, and many of the other resources too if you want to fix up crashed ships (granted you don’t have to repair them all the way, really no need to do that, or you can fix them up all the way later should you find one actually like). Because it takes a lot of wiring looms to get some of those slots patched up. But yeah, the income from selling Nip and other stuff some people have growing at their bases does indeed help you buy things, including wiring looms. There’s a few nanite farms too. Some of the crashed ship places don’t have a crashed ship, not for me anyway, and I have MP off (so not sure why that is).

But I did make some nice money selling crops from bases other people set up, such that I bought myself a nice red guppy in the R2 system I think it was?rooThink1 I love exotic ships, much better than using the starter shuttle (just imo) xD

So far I’ve finished halfway through phase 3, and I love all the supply bases. It’s helped tremendously with the materials needed though I wasn’t sure what was good to sell.

Same

ashen shore
#

ngl but there are a few nice bugs within expeditions that help so much

#

such as basically infinite resources from base miners lol

meager scroll
#

If you wish to take part in this expedition, you need to create an expedition save before Jan 16th

#

Players who do so will have to up to Jan 18th to complete the milestones for rewards

#

After that, the expedition save becomes a Normal mode game save

#

And players can no longer unlock the expedition rewards

#

Also @past shale ^^

@past shale Keep in mind, speedrunners don't bother with the task order presented by the game, they look at everything that needs to be done and figure out how to do it all in the most efficient order.

But if you've got 100+ hrs playing NMS, even without planning, you can likely meander through Polestar in 6-8hrs without any trouble or need to check info online

About the expeditions, do I need to be connected to the internet to start and play? I have considered starting it, but I have extremely limited internet access, and wouldn’t want any work I do to be for nothing. I’d definitely be able to connect here and there, but I can’t be connected during the entire time I play

so new save is on a new account and it works on all my save's/ So in a nut shell start new and choose expedition and then I can do it whenever? Or do i have to finish it soon?

patent canyon
#

If the time limit runs out, it's an expedition over.

#

And after it ends (or you finish it before the end) the save then turns into a normal one, so you can then continue playing the normal game with it, if you want.

#

So expeditions are good for starting new boosted character, aside of their challenges and theme.

A new save as in a new save data file

Ive only played the one save ever lol thats why

Not save as in you being in your existing character and saving the game at a structure or when exiting a ship

The difference is though that expedition has the different start and unique objectives when compared with the other game modes.

Yes, instead of following the story players try to complete challenges

it looks like mosty cosmetics base posters and engine exhaust colors. nothing game breaking? So if i dont get it done it isnt a big deal?

Completing a set of challenges gives you these unique rewards

Which then carry over to all other saves / game modes

#

Mostly cosmetics yes

#

I'm going to try and do it but it isnt life or death. If it was a better multi tool or Freighter that was only from this id jump on it...

#

i'm still playing catch up tbh, quit before next update and just got back. was loaded back then and great geared. came back way under powered. was talking to a guy earlier about meeting some friends and getting caught up!

#

There is also a chance that some of these rewards will come back as Twitch drops in the future

#

HG Has done this before with older expedition items

#

Emphasis on chance and some rewards

past shale
#

I mean the cape is cool and so is the exhaust cosmetics. but I'm so under geared and underpowered I don't know if that's my priority. My freighter has zero everything and is a good one with trash upgrades. I need derelict freighters for upgrade modules and nanites and so on and so forth.

Thus is not the place for this but since we are talking expeditions...

# harsh niche how do I find a crashed ship

I found one by using one of the Space Station portals and searching for a base that says "crashed ship" or similar in the title. When I portaled there, the ship wasn't there, but you could see and interact with the Emergency Signal device, which indicated there was definitely one there to be had. If you get there and there's no ship showing up, make sure multiplayer is turned off, make a quick save (enter & exit ship or use a Save Beacon), and reload that save. The ship should show up and you can claim it. You don't have to repair everything, only the two main parts to get it off the ground and flyable.

If there is a base on the rendezvous, go into quick menu and report the base
It should allow you to do your thing

#

Sometimes there are several
Report the first one listed, see if that solves the issue.

#

If not, keep going until you can deform terrain

hexed oak
#

I don't think reporting the base does anything about the land claim

ocean gorge
#

You can’t get rid of the base, but the goal is to let you deform terrain so you can dig up the cargo boxes

There's no need to actually excavate the crashed freighters. Can just leave once you get there

I'm too lazy to buy planetary charts, so I bought the Exocraft Radar Upgrades and installed it on my Nomad, realized I was supposed to be installing it on my Minotaur, bought the Minotaur Radar Upgrade and installed it on my Minotaur, did a few distress signal scans and found several owned crashed starships until I found the crashed starships that has no lifeform in it.

That works as well!

If you can't get to an area because someone put a base on there, you can report it but it takes a while for it to disappear. If you're on an Xbox, you can change your privacy settings to "not see player created content" and not have to deal with it, but it makes ALL player bases not show up. When I first started playing NMS, I could never figure out why I couldn't see anyone else or their bases. Ended up being my privacy settings were set too strict. However, this helped me get unstuck one time, when I logged off in another players base and the game wouldn't let me log back in without freezing up. Turned the "strict" setting on again and I was able to log in and move my toon someplace safer before turning the setting back off again. So, it comes in handy sometimes.

#

I would think that PC and PlayStation consoles also have some kind of console setting that would let you do the same thing. Just turning multiplayer off doesn't do it. That just makes you not see other players. You want to make it so you don't see or can interact with their bases, either.

I finally got this game like 3 days after Leviathan ended 😭

Does anyone know if they plan on rerunning these in the future?

If you want to just get expedition rewards, there are mods which allow them to be bought by quicksilver.

Yeeeah i doubt the Ps4 can do mods 🤣

What a shame.

I miss that thing to be actual feature in vanilla game though.

As normally you get expedition rewards for free.

Hopefully they atleast do another redux for them in the future. Most of what i wanted im fine without. The only thing i can think of that i REALLY wanted was the ship from exp 7

Dream aerial has never seemed rare (to me) one of my frigate expeditions has found it within a few missions I’ve sent them on in a handful of saves I’ve done, so unless I’m just extremely lucky, I wouldn’t call it “rare”vvShrug

There might be an update right after the expedition but it probably would just be a regular update like for bugfixing and not a “big” update or anything

And yes Polestar was fun. I can see myself getting bored with the game cause its too easy. Every new expedition will give me a reason to play.

Probably not, 1-4 and 5-8 have now all been rerun. Can’t say for sure but I would guess not anytime soon

it is possible however at some point in the future that instead of a normal rerun they run that year's expeditions PLUS whatever from before

not guaranteed though

You craft it once and find the first (via pulsing w it, i believe?) which unlocks the ability to find more organic frigates, also through pulsing and getting the Whalesong pulse event

Expedition 9: Utopia
Some important tips

Phase 1:

  1. We start the expedition on a Paradise planet, no sentinel, no hazard.

  2. We do not have access to Visor. Don’t worry about it, we have access to base computer. Build the base computer and drop 4 base parts. This will complete Milestone 1 of Phase 1 and unlock Visor.

  3. You can immediately tame a critter to complete Milestone 6 of Phase 2.

Phase 2:

  1. The planet has frequent sentinel, and we have to spend some time on this planet. Please visit the Sentinel Pillar (+37.54, +19.50) to turn them off.

Phase 3:
The planet has aggressive sentinel. Sentinel pillar can be found at +37.69, +57.36.

Important Note:
1) We have to register a base (drop a base computer) in order to “craft” items such as metal platings, hermetic seal etc… Please keep this in mind & farm chromatic metals.
2) Settlement, as we know, are not the same in this expedition. Every coordinate for the supposed settlements are pinned.
3) For the Phase 2 "Caldera" milestone:
You need not touch the lava, nor cross over the center of the crater. Melee boosting over a bit of the crater should be enough. Make sure you have installed all jetpack upgrades given to you (or blueprints that you are able to install) before doing this, and let your jetpack fully recover from the climb up the volcano to the top, you don' want to run out in midair. You might consider transferring all items out of suit inventory to exocraft and ship except for one ion battery and one life support gel, so you don't have to deal with recovering items from a grave if you do die. Receiving heat damage is the key to this milestone.

I’ll keep updating this as I complete stuff.
