If I’ve finished the expedition can I help someone by them coming to my freighter?
I’m actually curious if that does work… assuming not if the save’s converted?
no , normal save can't join polar save ... i think
Correct
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
Mine 2 and now i can begin story with all this gear i have little 2 no knowledge of lol i'm new player and started on expedition 🙂
Dang there’s a lot more time on polestar than I thought there was
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
that works
Yeah so I have a new save if you wanted me to invite you to my newly banged up freighter lol😂 @devout rune
mmm tasty polestar
polestar is the last redux correct, or do we get exped 9 redux?
honeslty idrembr if there is exped 9
nah polestar is the latest
nah polestar’s the last! no exp 9 yet
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?
can someone help me please? with hospitality milestone
wish i could mate, dont have ps+
no worries, it' s done finally 😄
Finished the expedition
hey guys, do i have to install the various engines on the freighter or i can just do the ship?
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
So I just now noticed who my Expedition freighter captain is..
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?
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?
I would expect 4 new ones this year, starting maybe in Feb? if the past two years are any guide
there's some issues with refiners on the freighter especially with multiplayer enabled
bro i was trying to refine colblyat and oxygen in full stacks and all my coblyat dissapeared
bro that coblyat took a full 10 hours
You have to babysit refiners, or stuff can disappear from them😔
I bet hes nuts…
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!
So portal addresses won't work with expedition saves?
Why 8 twice? 
All expeditions have been run twice now. You can see the full list of revisited and redux dates in pins: #nms-expedition message
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.
Is it correct thst the singularity drive is only available on that expedition saveand NOT account wide?
I think I got the plans for it at the end but haven't checked.
Expedition save only
I asked the same thing
As far as I can tell yeah, not that it really does anything functionally
Outside of finish the expedition
I think?
Yeah basically an emergency warp for the freighter
I kind of want one, because I'm a completist, but not about to redo everything on a new save, lol
Not sure what you mean by everything?
You've done the Polestar expedition before?
I mean my normal save has all languages learned, etc
As Daharhan mentioned above, the expedition save only
But cant get the singularity drive on it, because it wasnt a polestar expedition save
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
Has there been any word if they will be running any more redux? Still a few expeditions I haven't done yet
Got ya. Makes sense
I saw the pin, it only goes up to the end of this one
No word on when any will be re-run again. Pinned are the dates when all 8 have run a second time before: <#nms-expedition message>
Yeah, I saw the pin
Haven't seen anything, but I wouldn't put it past them to re-run the first four, so all the Switch players can have the opportunity to get those Expeditions completed.
so you would say to just go with the freighter?
heyo?
@glad anchor ?
anybody who is done with the expedition and can lend me a hand ? dont wanna grind for the credits to be able to buy all the frigates
if anybody got stasis modules or something i can invest into buying the frigates that would be very apprecciated
youre goddamn right
yeah this one is designed around freighter warping. iirc it takes than a dozen warps anyways
what about the multiplayer medal
I recommend you to buy distress signal maps if you can and you'll have tons of 💰 fast.
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.
the freighter base one

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?
And Discord broke on my phone.
Its probably going to be about sentinels as theres a sentinel freighter trace that cannot be unlocked
It can be also a 💩 one, Exo biology like. If HG will again forget how to make a good expedition.
Search on planets that have activated mineral. Some should have the crystals.
At planets during storm. Idk if it increases chance or not, but I read that if a planet has activated copper and similar stuff there, there should be a higher chance.
And I thought that I am answering a question about the next expedition, yet now I see that the 💩 📱 Discord app shown me complete different dimension of messages.
I'd like indeed something around space sentinels, which could eventually be implemented into the normal game. As I miss the ability to disable or destroy Sentinel freighter or even better, board it and disable space sentinels there.
i really cant find crystals, and cant get in other star systems
Are they so rare again in this expedition?!
I think there should be at least 1 system with storm crystal planet on track of expedition route.
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.
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
Hi, is there anyone that wants to help me with the Hospitality milestone?
👍
Can anyone help me with hospitality milestone please?
Here is my friend code. I play on Xbox
H0MX 124H QNNBY
It says "Failed to add"
You sure it's the right code?
I will check again
H0MX 124H QNNBY this should be right? HzeroMX 124H QNNBY
Maybe we can help eachother if Cosmidoo cant add you?
Hmm strange 🤔 Well thanks for trying ☺️
Yeah sure ☺️
is there anyone whose freighter i can board visit for the optional milestone? i'm in the second rendezvous system
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
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
If you cant get one, I'll be on in like an hour and a half.
Thanks, Ill let you know if I find one, looking for different planets to see if I can get the right one
No problem. Pinned comments also has a world with storm crystals (i think randevouz 4)
Ill check it out
It was the one, THANK YOU! I can complete it now!
Nice, I'm glad you got it!
On expedition 8 has anyone found an on path planet to get storm crystals?
in the pins
Yeah, the messages previous to yours, when you go to RV4 one planet with hot weather has them (look in the teleporter for a base that has something like "Storm crystals")
That is not helpful for someone looking for storm crystals.
bruh. it literally says where storm crystals are
If you really want them, marsh planet Erylanaith Otsu (R4 system Anggierfo) has them.
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
so when you said "I looked" what you meant was you didn't. ok
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.
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
Go to a space station and check the teleporters. There were tons of player bases for me that either gave free stuff out or were named "storm crystals". Takes you to those planets instantly.
Oh silly me, you already mentioned that up there
The entire paragraph before the name of the planet and system kinda throw you off
No worries, but thank you for the tip anyways haha
no biggie 
ok, then the words you want are "oh i didn't read that part", not "that is not helpful"
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.
lol ok dude. can't admit you just missed the info
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
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
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.
ok but what does it say right after the part about saving the hypercore. literally the next sentence.
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?
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
It IS possible to get storm cystals by simply shoooting a LOT of duhydrogen crystals and examining the fragments/geodes you get while doing so
but also, the reason we have pins is so people don't have to repeat the information
I didn't say that you are being unhelpful.
Didn't knew that, good to know for future playthroughs
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.
frigates, yep; can only own 1 freighter, but up to 30 frigates
frigates should just spawn around in space,
@limber drift ^
Do I need to warp to a new system every time I recruit one?
i don't think so
And is there a cooldown on another spawning?
usually 2 fleets spawn in close to each other; after you're done, simply turn around, pulse towards nothing for 10s, exit pulse, then wait for 2 more fleets to spawn in
no - you simply need to despawn the existing 2
And will me having a broken frigate stop more spawning until its fixed?
damaged frigates won't stop you from hiring more at all
you're limited to 30 frigates
Thanks!
can't hire more than 1 living frigate per system though - but that's different
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.
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
I can't get more frigates for some reason, the icon for them doesn't show up and comms are unavailable
how many do you have?
1
The number of recruitable frigates in systems varies, and can be 0.
is it 0 in Nomyussko?
No clue, just saying until youve tried in a handful of systems, you dont have evidence that there's an issue with the game.
I haven't come across any recruitable frigates during my expedition so far
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.
What do you mean by looking for them? just keeping an eye out or warping around to find freighters?
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.
Yeah, might've just gotten unlucky then
What I'm unsure of is the precise distance, much harder to eyeball in space and no good way to measure.
Do any settings like Multiplayer matter?
That sounds like a bug to me you should report it.

Thanks
Found 5 frigates in Elphingt II
Common occurrence if you built rooms out of bounds. Try and stay away from building towards the bridge at all. Your build space is the other direction.
I didn't build anything
I found an 'illegal rewired analysis unit' blueprint but I can't get it to appear in the install list
I can only see it in the catalogue under technology
It's not a blueprint, it's an installable module used from inventory.
You mean in a brand new save?
does that mean if I have just recruited a living frigate I can't find another one in the same system until I reload/warp out/do some other reset method, or if I recruited a living frigate in a specific system I can't ever recruit another in that system again?
The latter
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?
Other players' as in players who are in your group?
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.
Haven't tried that, thanks for the recommendation
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
nvm i literally have the polestar role smh
Lol
You’ll only see your freighter if yours is in system and same with your friends. Need to dismiss your freighter to see another friend’s freighter
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?
seeing as expeditions take place on different saves, they're all worth doing pretty much
Exclusive rewards took me 3 hours to do
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
What it says phase 1 complete does that mean I have finished it?
Oh no there's 5 💀
Do I have to do them all
So more than 3 hours huh? Lol
each phase has its own rewards, depends on how you far you wanna take it
but you can do them randomly, not in order
How do I check rewards?
the entire expedition took me about 5-6 hours
hover over the milestones & phase or go to the anomaly -> collect expedition rewards and sort them by expeditions
itll list all the rewards and their prerequisites
To much I give up
its honestly a very easy expedition to do
Yes however I'm an incredibly lazy person
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
I want the egg but does that mean I cmhave to complete it all
yep the egg is the reward for completing the entire expedition
I'm no longer incredibly lazy
its a miracle
What is the hardest phase
This is one of the easier expeditions imo
Hardest phase might be 5 if you don’t have the nanites/units for some purchases
It says read the crew log but there is no log I've been scammed
But as long as you’re collecting/processing your goops you should be fine
Are you in the freighter?
Are you in the right system?
I have 5400
I didn't know I had to be in a different system but I'm on my way thank you
There’s a mold farm in R5 for nanites
Oh my goodness gracious this is heart breaking news
I was just there damn it
Mold farms will get you there
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
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
Salvage scrap I think
That's the one
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.
Ew the second rendezvous point is in the ocean that's foul making me swim all the way over there
You can use the anomaly teleport trick to repair them without using resources as well
the rest of them are as well, just a heads up. though iirc 3 and 4 have a small portion sticking out of the water you can land on
Welcome to Polestar lol
They’re all gonna be like that
One milestone gives you the Nautilon and another the Orbital Materializer
These will come in handy
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
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
The former is the mini Submarine
The latter is a device that allows you to summon said mini sub on any planet*
*as long as your freighter is in the system
I think so
if not exact then very similar
This game sometimes I swear
Yeah I sort of already gave up
Whutchumeen?
To much work I'm too lazy
I haven't had carbon in weeks because I'm to lazy to get some never mind all these phases
You have online?
There’s so many bases for carbon
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
Save and reload fixed my previous issue
Guess I'll be going now tho goodbye 👋
Yeah see you all next expo or if multiplayer comes out for Switch
No multilayer on switch that is indeed sad
I speedran the whole thing in like 6 hours lmao
Or maybe 7. I remember going to bed at 5 in the morning
Yeah this was a relatively easy one
Congrats on that time tho
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)
Anyone down for visiting each others Freighters to unlock the Glyphs reward real quick?
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
Think I died a total of two times in leviathan
The second was after I broke the loop so it was fine
can anyone help me with the visit freighter base optional objective ?
I am missing two things
A storm crystal. And pirates. I am in a pirate system and no pirates
I found 2 pirates in 6 hours of game lol
Nees it too
r u in game ?
Yeah. But i dont really care as i only miss the last and the pirate badge
yeah pirates were my last one too. i kept warping from system to system until a mission agent offered pirate quests
you can easily complete it with just one mission
Need crystals tho
i am sure there are plenty of bases for storm crystals
yeah go to a space station and use the teleporter
i just found a base that was called storm crystals
spawned in right in the middle of a storm
ezpz
How often do expeditions get released? I just started playing and was wondering how important it is to start the expedition.
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).
And by "journey", I mean, you can complete other main story quests, like Artemis & Atlas in that converted save.
^ 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
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.
With the help of the masses of player bases giving out free shit, it's honestly trivially easy to do.
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
That is good to hear. I haven’t gotten to the freighter part just yet. I unlocked the Anomoly and then went exploring.
Still not finding pirates, what race gives pirate bounties?
Only missing pirates
you can find quests at space stations that'd provide
also the anomaly at the nexus
pirate systems should have plenty
yo
do I gotta get all 3 pilots in One squadron
like do I need 3 slots
or can I hire 3 firing 1 at a time lol
I hired all 3, but idk if that would work tbh.
Should note there’s a few milestones I think that give you some nanites to offset the cost
do we send the screenshot of the completed expedition here or on the screenshot channel
also can anyone help me get the hospitality (optional) mission
got no one to visit
@harsh niche I believe that will work
Do note that while you have until the 18th to complete the expedition, you can't create a new expedition save after the 16th (see exact time in Event detail in the channel menu). So to be safe you should start a save first then go back (before 18th) to finish it when you have time.
anyone still looking to finish Hospitality? i need it as well, sitting in the anomaly now
i wonder how that's dealt with on the switch.
It's not. They don't have the optional milestone.
aw
You can join me if you still need jt 🙂
any good reason to complete the expedition again, if I completed it in the original version back in the days? 😄
Is there anyone that can join me so I can visit there freighter for the Hospitality milestone: & thank you for your help
Hey Guys, I need storm crystals for the last step in the expedition, I'm on a Planet with extreme weather and it has activated copper... Is it garanteed that it has crystals and I'm just blind or am I out of luck 😁
Not guaranteed for those to have them 😦
I recall Storm crystals appear on only the most extreme planets - perhaps the one you're on isn't extreme enough? Lol
Yeah I'm wondering if there's an extreme level above extreme 🤔 haha
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
I wish there was more extreme storms. 3000⁰C storms please
When does the expo end again? Haven’t had time to play.

Can someone help me to get the hospitality milestone please?
I got mine by spamming invites to any people in the local system - worked eventually.
Nice and Chill expedition 🙂
I've been told they do.
It's just not finishable.
Quicksilver?Buy stuff to unlock things on all your saves then delete exp save , and you can do expedition again for more quicksilver
Or just buy stuff with QS, reload restore point, repeat.
smart! 😄
Good to know 😁
Hey can anyone help me out with "hospitality" ? I can do the same in return so we can get the glyphs
If I finish and transfer to normal game, can I still play with my friends who are just starting for the first time?
If they're playing the expedition, and you've converted your expedition save to Normal, you can't join each other. Normal saves can play with most other saves with the exception of Expedition and Permadeath.
Some of us choose to wait to complete a milestone till the very end to avoid save conversion in case we want to join other expedition players before the event ends.
Thank you, I suspected that but didn’t know for sure.
Did they change much from the original in the redux?
Hospitality anyone?
I'm in
Dm'ing you
do u still look for someone?
Yes please I'm worried I can't find someone lol
Yeah that's what I did I saved that one into the last almost I just have to finish it. I just want to get the glyphs and everything. And then go finish the expedition
Yeah if somebody could please help me with the hospitality milestone please & thank you 👍
I’m starting a new save this weekend, gonna see how good it is for farming QS. If you still need the milestone I’ll help :))
Yeah I've been trying for like 2 days to get somebody to help me 🤣
This is the only thing that's like holding me back I would love to get this done
Lol I hear ya. I did it the first time around so I slacked off, but I’d be happy to wait around once I start it, if anyone needs the optional milestone until the thing runs out
I’ll let you know when I start it :).
I'll let you know if I find somebody I did have somebody but apparently they went to go do something other & did not get back to me so.
Well there's only four days remaining that's reason why I've been trying to get it done 🤣
Lol I was just checking to see if you posted in here too
I've been posting all over the place I've been trying to get this this done
Sorry I can't assist, did this one the first time around
I haven’t finished the expedition on my Xbox One yet. I’ll probably be on later tonight (I’m in US, CST) so if someone needs to reciprocate and do the freighter Hospitality, I can help. I’ll have to check my settings because rn I might have friend requests accepting turned off, idk. But I can check back later when I’m online
Polestar felt a lot easier than Leviathan
Nip Nip
What?
Login, collect all nip nip that is growing in every corner along the way, finish fast
I'm not following
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?
I love exotic ships, much better than using the starter shuttle (just imo) xD
as soon as your supplemental protection runs out you die instantly
If you are talking about your Freighter, that is randomized.
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. (Do I need to keep nipnip for something later in expedition or sell it? Decided to sell.) Thank you everyone who spent time to build these bases.
Complete with hellhounds xD
No, just sell.
Wait how do I do these expeditions
Make a new save.
Thats the idea. Planets so extreme that you need to use exocrafts to not die
I'm talking about player's nipnip farms built everywhere
Can't find storm crystals to build a warp hypercore
Shoot NPC pilots instead, they can drop hypercores
Thats why i keeped the hypercore game gives you as a reward and used regular hd fuell
There should be a planet with storm crystals along the expedition route. Check the pins
Npc pilots?
I'm on rv5 already. So can't go back I think
The problem is that I need a wrap hypercore for the singularity engine
Did you check the pins? There's one with tips, including a note about storm crystals iirc
Yes, NPCs, the starships you see flying in space or over planets
Those ships are piloted by NPCs
You can attack them and drop down loot... Very voluntarily of course
One of the items they can drop is the Warp Hypercore
Several of the crashed freighters you’re asked to explore, the on land ones and also the ones underwater, gave me hypercores. That’s a bit rng but you might get lucky
Exp 8 done. Just had to wait on the frigate missions.
I'll be forever sad to have missed exp 3 and 4, but happy to have got all the others

What exactly does creating a new save by Jan 16 accomplish if it is supposed to convert after Jan 18 anyway. Sorry for the noob Q.
id like to know too. first im hearing!
Same
ngl but there are a few nice bugs within expeditions that help so much
such as basically infinite resources from base miners lol
Players can no longer start a new expedition save past Jan 16th
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 ^^
Are the rewards worth it? This is new to me.
Hello Everyone! Last week, we released our 20th major free update for No Man’s Sky, ENDURANCE. When we first added freighters to the game back in the FOUNDATION update, we could never have imagined we’d be here, reimagining them, six years later – we had no idea what was ahead of us! We’ve... View Article
Scroll down the article for list of rewards
Thanks reading it now!
So mostly cosmetics, exhaust trail colors and a cap and posters etc. I can buy with quicksilver ateer if I want i see?
You don't buy them with Quicksilver
These are exclusive rewards players can unlock only from the expedition mode
After you unlock them there, they become available on all your saves for free
Ahh ok...
Can I ask a dumb question? How long does it take to complete this if its done in total!
Speedrunners had it done in <2.5hrs
That was like a week ago, wouldnt surprise me if someone broke 2hrs by now.
@past shale
2 hours... ill do it tonight then...
@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
I think that you can play it offline, but today is the last day at which you can start a new save.
explain the new save? so incase i dont finish it tonight how do i save my progress? I am not tech smart lol
how does one even start this quest? Sorry for the noob questions i've been away since before next and recently returned and over whelmed!
You need to start a new game
From the Play Menu option at launch menu
Then select an empty save slot
And pick the expedition mode
Wait for the game to load and press some key to start
Nope, that would be Jan 16th

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?
There is a time limit to do the each expedition. And less two days to create a new save for it.
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
Because expeditions are their own separate game mode
Or better said - new game/character.
Next to relaxed, normal, creative, survival, permadeath
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
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...
What I can build in it is even worse..
So Uhmmmmmm I might of messed up I used the singlarty engine before reaching the final rendezvous and I can't make it appear in a new spot. Help.
you should be able to teleport to a previous base or space station
I was and now I can finally complete the first ever expeditions I've done
nice!
Anyone know where there is storm crystals
lemme guess, used the hypercore to fuel the hyperdirve instead of crafting the tech?
I have made that same mistake both times now
Yes 😭
I was hoping someone made a base around them but as far as I can see no one did
Crashed freighters you explore also sometimes drop hypercores
When you dig up the pods
Oh ok thank you
Thanks for the help I finally found a warp hypercore
Need to visit someone’s freighter.
I’m still in expedition so I can host others as well.
I’m on Xbox One.
Did you find it from a crashed freighter pod?
Yes
Nice! I ended up with like 4 that way, and didn’t use any but the one for making the singularity drive
In the first system there’s a base that says 2 crashed freighters and I got it from there
Because all the rendezvous points are crashed freighters, the sunken ones too
True
But hey, whatever works
What system are you in?
Rn I’m in Nomyussko
Ok
I haven’t used the singularity drive
Go to the space station
I’m gonna warp there now
Add me to your group and I’ll spawn in my freighter
You’ll have to despawn yours
In order to get onto mine
Ok. Do I need to leave the station in my ship to despawn my freighter?
Ok I think I dismissed it
Oh yeah if you completed the save and converted it, I can’t join your freighter
It’s ok
So just to double check. I made the save and started the expedition I don't ha e to do it all in one sitting thus weekend right?
#nms-expedition message
This lists when the expedition finishes, you can’t work on it anymore once it’s done, but you keep the save since it converts to a regular normal save after the expedition is done, and you keep all the rewards you finish at that point
If anyone can do the Hospitality freighter milestone with me on Xbox One, ping me and let me know. I can help others too
@ocean gorge just started my polestar save! You around?
speed run time
good luck
Yup yup! Did it when it first came out but trying to see how many runs I can get in for that QS 
May I DM you my friend code?
Sure, my DMs should be open for the server
Phase 1 done
snack time then morrre
Looks like I got into this game just a bit too close to this expedition to get into it - any idea when we might expect the next one? 2-3mo?
No definite information, but likely less than a month.
Polestar is a pretty easy one. I finished under 5 hours, taking my time.
If you have time over the weekend you can definitely just start it now and get it done in a few hours 🙂 super chill, and people have some good ways to cut down time. Worth doing if you can!
Nice! That would be great. I’ll probably be near to finishing my first save by then.
That would have been lovely - as you and TreacherousKnob said - but I had maybe an hour tonight and have none tomorrow. Wish I would have looked into that earlier this week, but such is as it is, I’m not too upset about that. I’ll be better positioned for it next time 🙏
still recommend you start the save!
not just because you never know when you'll get 2 hours opened up but because you start with some exclusive really sweet tech
oh wait you get the engine later you just start with the atmo
anyway better safe than sorry!
Anyone online who can help with the hospitality milestone in expedition ?
Is there another expedition planned after this? Or, surprise as always? 😊
I mean, a Redux one
We dont know. Probably new update annoucement with new exp for bit later
Look out for a weird tweet from Sean Murray
With an emote probably
i encountered a bug when i started the expedition where my main save file's freighter spawned as the freighter you spawn in it did change back to another freighter after i reloaded the save though. Did anyone encounter this?
whoever found the S class cargo ship and made a base there, thanks, your bb is now fully fixed
Once this expedition is over, do all the bases people made get deleted when the save file concerts over to normal? I was wondering if that save file keeps all the cool stuff ppl tagged. (Like the above cargo ship)
no
Anyone online who can help with the hospitality milestone in expedition ?
Did you still need help with Hospitality? Sorry for ping
Yes please. That would be great.
Which platform will you be needing this on
I’m on ps5
Ok, lemme get my game on and logged in, I have finished but I made a new save, but I don’t think I’ve repaired by freighter so it’ll be in the starting system just FYI😂
I DM’d my friend code to you
Oh wait that’s the wrong one
That was my Xbox one, nvm let me get my PS5 one
I’m quite new to NMS expeditions and I do have a save file with it ready to go, is it viable to start it now or have I missed the opportunity?
I also noticed there are previous expeditions, is it possible to do these?
For 2nd question - not anymore
We are on the last days of last redux
There is chance some of these rewards will come back as Twitch drops in the future
But it's unlikely HG will repeat those expeditions again
That’s rather sad there’s so many unlockables unavailable, I’d even be down to pay for them as dlc 😂
Anywho guess I just gotta wait any pray they do something 🙂 thanks for the reply
What do you need?
Stuck on the storm crystal myself lol
Cant place another base computer next to the gas point what do i do
because i cant place my gas extractor
WooHoo! Finally done.
That one was way more relaxing than Leviathan.
I guessing, since there's an "optional" mission, if you choose not to do it and complete the Expedition it won't ask you to switch it to a "Normal" save like the other did, until the Expedition date ends?
Anyone care to help with hospitality? Quick land and leave
if you do the expedition at this point check ALL the goals. The most time sensitive one is the frigate expedtions - you need to send out 8 and they take time.
would be nice if they at least made it so you could obtain the rewards of missed expeditions with a large amount of qs
at least the functional ones
You only need 3 expeditions in the redux
You can send out frigate on expedition and recall immediately and it counts toward the goal as well.
^^^This, right here.
Only had two frigates and sent them out, recalled them, then repeated two more times and got it done.
There's no expedition scheduled after this one, right?
Yep
I hope Expedition 9 is soon released
Probably Feb.
how do you get an amino chamber
They are craftable and you can also buy them from some space stations
blueprint from anomaly ofc
how do you find a crashed ship
Wait...is it too late to start the expedition? It doesnt seem to be giving me the option to start it.

ugh. Well. ty for letting me know.
Sorry Traveller 😦
I knew it had to be today...I was just barley too late.
Yeah just a bit
You technically still can.
Turn your system clock back. UNPLUG internet.
Start save.
Saw someone do the same thing for Leviathan.
Just don't forget to set time back after you make a save & DO NOT touch anything else.
Pepole have teories that next update and maybe new expedition will be around psvr2 release date (22 february. 2023). Or at least new stuff in quicksivler vendor because it will be around same time we will unlock everything.
I managed to get them done, thank you 🙂 hopefully won’t leave the next one so late
how do I find a crashed ship
Go to a base that says crashed ship
Oh good I haven't missed the end of Polestar
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.
I can disassemble the Atmospheric Control Unit, yeah? I've never seen it on a freighter before Polestar
After getting it repaired
thank you friend I got it now tho
Also, don't forget you have Repair kits as rewards, like I did. Spent a while looking for one metal, then remembered I had those instead. 😜
lol luckily I had all the repair mats
You're talking about in one of the rooms? Yeah, you should be able to. I think it's just a decoration. Mine had these fish tank aquariums I'd not see before.
No, the technology
I'm gonna have a friend help me transfer my exp items to my main save
so the more stuff like kits I save the more I get to keep
admittedly tho repair kits I mostly keep to give to friends lol
It says it's important and provides atmosphere in the freighter, but I've never seen the tech before. I don't recall it in the last expedition.
it's exclusive to this one
it's part of the quest itself
But it doesn't actually do anything, does it?
no
Cool, will disassemble
Oh, in the inventory? Yeah, I wouldn't mess with it until the event is over.
you can't disassemble it
Oh, boo
it has plot implications
basically plotwise without repairing it everyone would eventually suffocate and die in horrible agony from co2 poisoning
Guess I just need to buy a new freighter then. I'm pretty much done with the expedition
side note suffocation is painless if there's no oxygen but not co2
you just fall asleep
and never wake up
Sounds like a nice way to go
Cue, the theme song to MASH. 😜
you're gonna soon to
oh also great advice for space in general
if you're in a vacuum don't stop trying to breathe
or your lungs will explode
not a metaphor the gas tries to leave in every direction at once
and pops your lungs like balloons
also if you're in direct sun congrats you get to die of hypothermia and hyperthermia at the same time
I doubt that. It would probably pop your throat valve first.
no it would pop your lungs that's where the air is
studies have been done on this
if you hold your breath in a vacuum
your lungs will pop
like the bends x1,000
Very true, crisped on one side and frozen on the other
220 celsius and -220 celsius roughly
Let's be mindful of the channel's topic
See Pins 
Anyone mind helping with Hospitality? Friend code: NEAE-5E0Z-A628G
I’m on PS5, I can try if you like. I finished but I have a new save that I made just for helping people with Hospitality and it’s worked so far. Can I DM my friend code? For some reason it may not work unless I set my group open to let anyone join so if it doesn’t work at first, after we exchange codes, I’ll set it to anyone
Sounds good, thanks!
I’m in the starting system since I haven’t done anything with this freighter
Teleporting there now
Is that a zero or a letter O?
It’s a zero right
Yup and invite sent
Blindbeard the pirate?
Indeed, TY very much!
No worries glad to help
Can I not make the Child of Helios larger in the genetic sequencer?
Growth hormone substances listed as increasing size on the wiki, say that they will decrease the size in game
Did you check the pins in #nms-fauna ?
Sometimes things on the wiki can be out of date
I’m in the last system and also need hospitality. Is it better to go to the first system and try to find people there? I haven’t seen anyone at all the entire time
Idk, but I can help you if you like, if we exchange friend codes. Just helped someone else. Only thing is since I’ve already finished, I made a new save just for helping others with this one milestone, so my freighter has nothing done to it, so it’s in starting system
You’d need to come to it.
But I’m happy to let you visit if you want me to DM my friend code.
Up to you tho
Yup. Oxygen says it decreases the size of the Child of Helios
Nursery and wiki say it should increase creature size. Also every other mat I have.
Maybe it doesn’t abide by the normal rules, since it’s a limited edition item? Idk
You might ask in #nms-questions they’d know more about the egg than I
I’ll start jumping back, ty
If you went to the space station you could just use that
And not waste hyperdrive fuel
No worries
I'm also up to visit a fellow player's freighter, and them to visit mine
In the starting system currently
Maybe you can help @ornate oasis since I wasn’t able to @hexed oak
I think I don’t need a group to get what I need, but lemme finish R5 and I can come back
Weird, I'm not getting notifications. I'm Starship Moguta but we might not be placed in the same instance
I see you
Gimme sec, triggered a battle
Freighter is out
Cool thanks
Np
how do you deal with the bases built on rendezvous points? these are soo annoying I havent been able to get any cargo since phase 2
Decent setup. Now imma buy your freighter, mwahahaha
I’m done, just need R5
Awesome. I finished the expedition already
Nice
Need/want any assist?
The expeditions are pretty neat, I recommend giving em a shot to freshen up NMS gameplay
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
I don't think reporting the base does anything about the land claim
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 didn’t loot any, I don’t think
I only did it because you can sometimes find SFMs and hypercores in the cargo boxes
Salvaged freighter modules, and sometimes Multitool expansion slots and freighter bulkhead expansions as well
I mean you’re there, so free is nice
Just don’t drown
yeah dont really need to excavate them, but this is my first playthrough and I'd like to know whats inside the cargo drops
Lol tried the first cargo and died. Got stuck on the metal
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.
So - anyone know when the next NMS expedition will be?
No one knows for sure. Closest update can be around NMS PSVR2 release date. 22.feb.23 also all qs stuff will become unlocked close to that date. Keep eye out for sean tweets
Expedition 8 done! Now I can shelf the game and play The Si- I mean I'll be looking forward for future expeditions!

I finally got this game like 3 days after Leviathan ended 😭
Does anyone know if they plan on rerunning these in the future?
They have done the redux in December for the past 2 years.
Yeah noticed that. I barely got the game in time to hit the exp 8 redux lol.
So they only rerun them at the end of the year that they came out in? If so That sucks 😅 Theres a small handfull of things I'd like to get that i missed 😩
If you want to just get expedition rewards, there are mods which allow them to be bought by
.
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.
If you have done the expedition.
Yeah, just have to wait. Unless HG changes it so you can rerun it anytime. You can submit a feedback suggestion to them. On PC there's an editor hehe.
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
I feel like there is a way to get a living frigate in the main mode too. I've seen it done before. It just requires a certain piece of rare tech that you come across. I have the blueprints but have have not used it.
its the same item you unlock at the end of this expedition
Dream Aerial, Unlocked randomly by a exploration expedition
That's it!
Yeah i have the same Bp. I just keep seeing the Squid-like ship that came from 7 and thats the only kind of organic ship i feel would interest me.
Though honestly i havnt even tried the device to see what i might get. 😅
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”
am newer to nms (got it on like december 27th) is there going to be another expedition soon. Polestar was fun
Thats how i got it on all 3 of my saves. I think its a garunteed thing. Like it might take more expeditions but you will eventually get it from them.
Sounds to me like everyone expects the next big update to take place in Feb. Looking at all the expeditions it seems like they come out when theres a significant update. So hopefully a new one will come out then.
yeah i have seen speculation for feb 21-22 to. I hope new expeditions come out.
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
i just decided to play on my polestar save after i finished it lol
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.
Soo what you gunna do now? I myself could use some help figuring out what to do now that ive finished it lmao 🤣
Back to working on my main save on Switch. I still haven't rearranged my inventory on PC with the Waypoint changes lmao
I have a Void Egg to crack, ships to hunt, still need to find a decent freighter...
yeah thanks
go to Eissentam and find a really cool system maybe that's what im doing lol
wait are they planning on bringing back old expeditions?
Probably not, 1-4 and 5-8 have now all been rerun. Can’t say for sure but I would guess not anytime soon
god damn i missed it
well, if i had to guess, we'll get 4 more this year and then a rerun of those 4
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
HG plays everything pretty close to the chest. They learned that lesson at launch.
I would assume so
There’s no way to get the singularity engine in my main save, right?
is it over? tell me it's over
It's over
Now we wait for NMS PSVR2 release trailer. Maybe then we will get some info about new update or exp.
What expedition is going on now? Or just finished?
Exp 8 polestar rerun ended not long ago
when next expedition?
No one knows
"it's over mr stark, we won"
I think the total count for how many times I finished expo 8 was 10-14 times. Learned a lot about freighters tho
@tame vault Unapproved Discord invite
Will we have more expeditions in the future
Most likely
lmao
we should get an expedition themed around Sentinels
or an expedition themed around economy and trade
this is true
I need more sentinel lore
they are the most interesting things in game
How does the dream Ariel work?
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
Ok thanks
I would love to see an expedition where we start as a Gek and corrupted sentinels are constantly after us
I want one where we ARE the sentinel's.
Its all over, but the crying
And nobody's crying but me
Friends all over know I'm trying
To forget about how much I care for you
(Me to expedition 8)
Myself, I look forward to Expedition 11
I'm looking forward for more expeditions that gives more creative constraints, like Polestar expedition where you can only hyperjump with freighters, and some expeditions where some blueprints cannot be purchased.
So you know something about exp 9 and 10? 👀
I didn't do a single freighter warp I think.
@wraith junco Nope, I'm looking forward to 11 in hopes that a pattern is forming - the 3rd Expedition of the year being the one targeted more towards veteran players
Oh ok 🤣
How did you get to five different anchor points? Did you have a traveller-friend that you can teleport to?
Twitch ships.
Oh, these ships have hyperdrives, I presume?
Well good for you....
Yes
Yup. Twitch ships, MTs, and the Nintendo exclusives make Expeditions much easier.
And the golden Vector
No golden vector on switch
Does anyone have info on the next expedition? Release date?
No . We can only speculate. Closest possible date is 22.feb the NMS PSVR 2 release date. Maybe around then we will get some info about future expedition or update.

expedition started today?
OK no my base ISN'T gone wtf
The game just decided to use an old savefile from when i hadn't built the base yet
As the primary one
Bruh
Yep
NO WAY
LETS GOOOOOO
I wish there was a way to open the bug tracker from within the game, kinda like in subnautica
That'd help so much in reporting bugs
How long to complete it?

Thanks
No problem
God!
sheesh new exped. gotta play again after months of being busy.
oooo new expedition
Expedition 9: Utopia
Some important tips
Phase 1:
-
We start the expedition on a Paradise planet, no sentinel, no hazard.
-
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.
-
You can immediately tame a critter to complete Milestone 6 of Phase 2.
Phase 2:
- 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.
Outpost Alpha coordinates: (Phase 1, Milestone 7)
i'm at middle of expedition 3
Expd 3?
Outpost Beta coordinates: (Phase 2, Milestone 1)
Can't wait to see what character they make me as this time, sigh

wow, surprise expedition? lets go
I've just found this about 250u from where i spawned. Am going to plant my base computer here
guy on reddit called the timings of these releases 3 months ago, he was pretty accurate
Is the expedition live then
Yes
They have released updates at roughly the same times for the last 5 years
Here I'll do one
June
Bro I got a freaking shadow mane lol
please say settlement data is discounted
i have flown for 30min ish and no settlement
the space station is abandoned, theres no one to buy settlement data from
ok legit dunno how to find settlement without data flown since update started
you have to upgrade it
there should be two more radar upgrades if you click on a tech slot
starting to give up have gone drove and flown in one direction for an hour
no
settlements
what are the rewards
you need to find the archive
Ifound it about 250u from where I spawned
it has a local info repository and can dispense a settlement chart
forgot what color of marker is archive?
I set up my base at the archive
Reached Outpost Alpha
So far I like the idea of this expedition
Supercharged Nomad is fun
Managed to get the Atlas Pass v1 BP from manufacturing facility
Should help along the way
I believe i've actually setup my base at outpost alpha
Humming Sac location on Pehaelump (Phase 2 planet)
colossal archive at -53.61, -4,28 on starting planet
go to local info repository computer terminal there
can i see my coordinates while in starship?
THANK U
15 nanites which i have none
guess gotta grind
just scan stuff around you using your visor
oh right
Its something I do automatically
forgot that x)
I cant stand having unknown stuff around me
ah, wait, scanning stuff is units. I have 28 nanites on me from something
I'm interested to learn how people are completing the 'summit a volcano' milestone, when someone gets to that
melee jetpacked over the crater
across it? and you were able to reach the other side without falling in?
so can i check my coods while on a starship?
already had movement upgrade modules from prev milestones, and yes
ok good to know, that's a useful tip
hope ur good apergos 😄
any tips to obtain tons of pure ferrite for base comps?
ok i give up on this expedition tbh :d
it's early days yet, you've got 6 weeks to do it
just take a break, do something else when this gets too tedious
he's struggling to find a settlement
Pehaelump (Phase 2 planet): Sentinel Pillar.
I didn't think that was a requirement?
Settlement coords pinned
@craggy hemlock the settlements coors are pinned
