nms-expedition

[cedar zodiac]

Oh I see.

can you just hop back into your ship to auto save?

[wanton frigate]

Yes, but equally he could hop back in his ship and get his shed off my land!
I wonder if I can dig enough of the hill it's on away from under it to stop him from getting in the front door when he gets home ..

[cedar zodiac]

Hah

you haven't made a save beacon till now?

spicy

[wanton frigate]

Until you said it, I didn't realise I was asking for trouble. Now I'm flashing back to all the times I nearly drowned because I couldn't tell which way was up on the Switch with all the pop-in.

[cedar zodiac]

oh buddy

[proud sparrow]

i wasn't too thrilled that HG demanded a 1400 nanite payment to use the speedster on another save, I guess we should expect this on every expedition from now on

[wraith junco]

Imo that was a bug

HG never did payments for expedition unlocks.

[proud sparrow]

yeah it was strange. but very odd bug if it wasn't intentional

[wraith junco]

Luckly its only 1,4k nanites ,not like 140k

[little knoll]

finally done omg, that was kind of tedious

[short patio]

Guys, can I warp to any nearby star for the last quest?

[wraith venture]

From the Phases & Milestones we got pinned:
<#nms-expedition message>

Phase 5:

• Seismology Milestone: Must be done on the 5th planet, although neither the milestone description nor the tips in the log say so. To build the survey device, you'll need magnetic resonators, a quantum computer, and wiring looms. You can buy all of these at the space station trade terminal. No need to scrounge materials for these.

In case that helps...

[short patio]

Thanks : ) Just warped to another System, Im done with the Expedition now

Was a bit tedious but fun

[wraith venture]

Glad you enjoyed it! And congrats! Woot! woot! 🥳 Don't forget to grab your Utopia vanity role in #roles to celebrate it

[meager warren]

For Assignment Delta, the game ended up directing me to the middle of a Hungering Tendril nest. Do I have to build this base right on this area, or can I build it anywhere on the planet after I've found the build area it wanted me to?

[fringe agate]

Anywhere

[meager warren]

oh excellent ty

[somber dust]

Idalth XIV is a damn horror planet! Love it

[indigo falcon]

if you watched carefully you never actually paid those nanites

[glossy trout]

My experience with this new expedition:
I passed most of my time searching for copper. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Don be able to build outside of the base was annoying at the beginning but after a while give a new purpose to every rambling 🌏
Idea of an abandoned system is kind of great . Gives a new layer of storytelling 🌞
I think thag the game is trying to get exocrafts more into game workflow , hope that in the future we could habe more of that 🚗
Anyone with the same feeling?

[misty kindle]

Haven't been able to finish it yet. Can't get past that last thing on the third planet. I've discovered 19/8 flora. More than double what it asked lol. Will check again after work to see if it'll work yet.

[frozen remnant]

I'm on Utopia Phase 2.. I did not get the Utopia Supply Drop Beta.. any idea what i can do?

[sinful elm]

Make sure to claim the mission/task reward for arriving at the outpost

[frozen remnant]

I did. Got the Nanits and a couple of Blueprints

[sinful elm]

are you sure the supply drop item isn't in your inventory?

[frozen remnant]

Yes

[sinful elm]

could you send me a screenshot of your inventory and the expedition log page?

Win+Shift+S on PC to capture a screen snippet to your clipboard

[frozen remnant]

Sure

[sinful elm]

Also, big tip for powering bases for this expedition: The Biofuel Reactor lasts 50 hours now on a full charge, which is more than enough to power a small base and teleporter for as long as you could possibly need. Then again, maybe solar panels and batteries would be more fitting for colonizing a system (role-play wise).

[ashen shore]

Need chromatic metal please help

[sinful elm]

You're going to have to either find copper deposits, or have someone join you to ive you some

[ashen shore]

I cant find anyone and its takes ages flying to planets with copper

And back

Im on phase 3

[sinful elm]

every planet in the expedition system should have copper

[fierce pollen]

Just realized which channel this was in

[sinful elm]

use your scanner to find deposits, and use an exocraft (I highly recommend the Nomad) to get to them

tap C on keyboard, or click the left stick on console

@ashen shore go back to the starting planet, it is the easiest to navigate on (no sentinels, relatively flat terrain), plus you'll need paraffinium from the lush planet to build an exocraft bay, which is essential for doing the expedition (unless you like walking a lot).

gather all the chromatic metal you can from that planet so you have more than enough for the other planets

also make sure to use the smallest terrain beam (switched with R/T on keyboard, idk about console) to get the most resources from each deposit

[ashen shore]

Looks like walkings my only option

My ships out of fuel and i dont have a base here

[sinful elm]

that is an unfortunate situation to be in.

@ashen shore did your scanner find any copper deposits?

[ashen shore]

Nope

So i really really have to ak

Walk*

[sinful elm]

It would seem so

scan all the minerals around you, one of them might contain chromatic metal

But you would need the advanced mining laser for that (which you might have by now)

@ashen shore my last bit of advice (seeing as I can't get on for several more hours) is to practice melee-boosting to move faster. Here's a snippet on how to do it.

Melee boosting in No Man's Sky is incredibly straightforward.** Simply tap the melee button then hit the jet pack button while moving forward.** If done correctly, your character will do a huge dash in the direction you're facing. You'll know you've done it right if your character looks like they are dabbing.

[sinful elm]

@ashen shore Another player's base may also be close enough to walk to. At least then you could craft (a bunch of) launch fuel and head back to your first base and stock up on important resources before venturing out again.

[kindred minnow]

you can build a base computer, but it can be a real pain having to snag 200 chrometal

[oblique thicket]

Welp, first RV and my ship lands partially embedded in the structure. No worries. It still works, right? Nope, on launch I am stuck, unable to move or anything, and tooltip offers buttons to exit ship or launch. Neither do anything. And the saves are arriving at the location. Is there an unstuck feature?

[quasi copper]

First RV = first rendezvous? You could try going to another landing pad and calling your ship if you have navigation data.

[oblique thicket]

That might work. Just need some nav data....

[quasi copper]

Which you could get if you could leave. Maybe you can find a nearby save point / waypoint thing.

Oh, wait! Just leave and call your ship anywhere, assuming you have launch fuel. I don't think it takes navigation data to call it to the ground near you.

[tough crown]

What hazard does the 4th planet have?

[quasi copper]

Sentinels and titan worm burrows. I think the climate was fairly nice.

[tough crown]

Ok, is the last one also like that?

Oh wait, they are catalogued j can just look

[quasi copper]

@oblique thicket Any luck?

[wanton frigate]

The last one has superheated storms, mild mannered sentinels and a bird that you have to catalogue that just doesn't like some people. He came looking for me though, so I must be special. Anyway, it's a very quick set of goals compared to 3 and 4.

[tough crown]

I'm glad I got the nomad when I was choosing an exocraft, definitely makes moving around the 4th planet easier

[wanton frigate]

Is there no Suborbital flyer with a low energy cost take off? Nomad was a lifesaver, but after falling into a tunnel network I'd prefer to be able to have limited flight that didn't drain life support

[tough crown]

I mean you can invest in upgrades, or set up a basic uranium farm/mine a ton of uranium

Wait, what are you asking for?

Ohh, you mean exocraft. I thought you meant an actual ship

[humble bramble]

Pilgrim can go flying with boost and max speed upgrades

[shy dagger]

Wait. Theres an expedition?

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT

When does it end? ;-;

[quasi copper]

Run !exptime in #bot-spam .

[shy dagger]

A month, whew

Is it hard/ long?

[quasi copper]

Depends on your luck. It was really easy for me, but if you end up with the Flora Magenta count discrepancy problem, or can't find the bird in Phase 5, your mileage could vary.

[shy dagger]

Is the sentinel freighter trace one of the rewards?

[humble bramble]

No

[shy dagger]

.....so its still not claimable?

[wanton frigate]

Did the people with Flora Magenta count problems scan underwater flora pre-phase3?

[oblique thicket]

Was playing Sons of the Forest for a bit

[quasi copper]

Looks like it only costs launch fuel (and might not cost that, coming from a pad) to summon your ship. So you could try just climbing down from the archive or whatever, picking an open spot, and summoning the ship. It'll cost you fuel to take off from there, though.

[sly pond]

Taking off from landing pads costs 0 fuel

[oblique thicket]

It worked to move it. But launching put me in the same jammed state. Will try moving further away and trying again

[quasi copper]

Good luck.

[oblique thicket]

Also in this expedition, you run the risk of not having/being able to craft launcher fuel, with your base on the other side of the planet

[quasi copper]

Yeah. If you have units, you can buy it at the archive, though. Costs like sixty-five thousand each.

[oblique thicket]

Yeah, so being near the RV building results in a jammed up spaceship. Works after a second summon further away

[quasi copper]

Yay! You're free! Make sure to carry plenty of fuel in case you have to do that again.

[oblique thicket]

I do feel by this stage of development they should've fixed such bugs....

Game doesn't let you land on iffy slopes, but embedded in a massive hub is fine!

[quasi copper]

Report it. It seems pretty rare, so they may not know.

[oblique thicket]

I did.

[tough crown]

Man I got the final reward and immediately felt motionsick when flying.

[wraith venture]

Oh nooo Cuz of VR? Try some ginger gummies. Those help me tons with motion sickness.

[tough crown]

Its fine, it was just the shock of actually having a thing that can turn

[wraith venture]

Ooh lmao Congrats on completing the expo and getting the sweet reward

[tough crown]

Ty i really love the cosmetics from these. They all look like they have some real effor in them

[hot marten]

Okay so how do expeditions work

like

I started the game new, haven't played in years

I just finished the expedition, so... do I start a new game? Do I get to keep anything?

[quasi copper]

It should have given you the opportunity to convert your save to a normal save. You can also create new saves. The new character can claim expedition rewards at the Space Anomaly.

[hot marten]

so even if I use/buy them in the one game

I can go to the anomaly and get my cool new ship?

[quasi copper]

That's right. Every character you make can go get all that stuff.

[hot marten]

And does that include ALL the rewards or just the final one? ie: the cool robot egg

which I don't know what good that thing is

but it was cute

[quasi copper]

I think mostly it's cute. Rewards from individual milestones, no. I think Phase rewards, yes.

[errant shuttle]

that was going to be my question since im reaching the end of the expedition

[quasi copper]

Your converted save for this character will have everything you got, except the elevated cost for base computers and the crafting location limitation. On other saves, you can collect the final reward (speeder) and phase rewards (I believe) at the Space Anomaly quicksilver counter.

[errant shuttle]

nice

this my first since i missed the polestar one

and the all of the others

[meager scroll]

Yes, main reward (Utopia Speeder starship) and the 5 phase rewards can be redeemed on other saves

The rewards for individual milestones are just for this save

[quasi copper]

I hope they re-run all of them sometime, but I'm afraid they won't, since they've re-run all but #9 once already. They re-ran 5-8 in a marathon at the end of last year. I missed 1-4.

[errant shuttle]

damn

[meager scroll]

Yup, all of them had an original run and one redux

Not likely to repeat

#nms-expedition message

[errant shuttle]

riparoni in pepperoni

[meager scroll]

Some non-main expedition rewards come back as Twitch drops

We had such a run last week and stuff like sandworm egg was one of the rewards

So if you have any specific item in mind, there is still hope

But I wouldn't count on HG re-reruning 8 expeditions

[quasi copper]

Oh, I didn't know some of those were expedition rewards. Some of them did seem familiar, though.

[meager scroll]

https://imgur.com/a/t53KkT8

All expedition rewads from exps 1-8

[jagged charm]

Maybe not 8

But 16 on the other hand

[meager scroll]

Lmao

Reserve half a year for expedition reduxes? You can't be serious

[indigo falcon]

they would have to run at the same time as the usual updates and scattered new expeditions, and I can't really see that happening either

[wraith junco]

Hg usualy did expedition reruns in the end of the year. They did 1-4 and 5-8 rerun so probably next rerun will be 9-12 and after that 13-16

[patent hill]

It is done my lord

[grand lodge]

wHEW

I just finished the aggressive sentinel planet stuff

that was scary

(I did turn them off but still)

[patent hill]

What

Oh yea

I forgot you could do that

I’m gonna go cry in the corner

[grand lodge]

I hate sentinels. I'm a lover, not a fighter.

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[meager warren]

Finished last night

definitely made me appreciate being able to craft anywhere at a whim

[fringe agate]

Lol

[meager warren]

and I certainly didn't get myself into a situation where I had no launch fuel, and needed to get to the Space Station and all I needed was one metal plate, but also I had travelled half a planet away from my base and also I didn't have the resources on hand to make an emergency base, and therefore had to go in search of copper and ferrite

good fun tho

[fringe agate]

No, of course not

[sinful elm]

Am I the only one that didn't piss off all the sentinels on that planet? I don't think I ever set them off. I just made sure to not get too close to the pillar while at my base

[meager scroll]

I had Sentinels on my ass once when I was collecting plants for the drink thingy

Didnt even fight them, just ran away

[main pewter]

Just started it if someone wants to help ya boy out

[cedar zodiac]

What kind of help, NS?

[meager warren]

nah, I didn't either

worst case tho you can always make yourself an emergency tunnel and close it up to wait for the heat to die down, so I never worry about Sentinels too much

[cedar zodiac]

i always forget to close it, i just go down and then straight

and shoot anything that comes down

[meager warren]

honestly same sometimes and even then they don't always follow down

and sometimes I end up just tunneling to where I was going anyway :p

[main pewter]

Just finished the first phase mid way thru the second just any your willing to give

[ornate sphinx]

As a new player, I’ve done this 6 times over already 😅

[cedar zodiac]

It was a humbling experience

[cedar zodiac]

there are a lot of bases on each planet from other players, they have copper mines, etc

[meager warren]

happens to the best of us

[main pewter]

This third planet is stress

[floral blade]

Just starting Utopia. Is there a way to locate my ship without building the base first?

[trail iron]

if you scour the area in a 400u radius, you will find it eventually.

Other than that, no

You need to repair/install visor to get compass to get icon

and to install anythign you need a base

[teal pond]

Cant say this was my favorite expedition -_- were i to redo it id have saved up 3k chromatic metal and pure ferrite on the first planet...

[remote thunder]

when you spawn in - first spawn - don't move your character: you will be facing in the direction your ship is in. cc @trail iron

it can be further away than 400u though, i've seen it up to 1000,1100u away

[main pewter]

Notes on how to make pilgrim tonic an cocoa?

[meager warren]

pick Star Bulb, put in Nutrient Processor to turn into Pilgrimberry, then put Pilgrimberry into Nutrient Processor

you will need Haz-mat Gauntlets installed in your Exosuit to pick Star Bulb

Star Bulb should be found on the planet you got that mission step on

[floral blade]

Just fyi, this didn't work. I obviously found my ship after getting my visor and it was in a different direction. But thanks for trying.

[full orchid]

Oh yeah! Update on "eyes in the mist" I figured out why I couldn't find it. I was on the wrong planet. Took me three days to notice. I would've thought by now I would have checked that since I played enough of the game but nope... it somehow eluded my mind to double check that. 😅🤦‍♀️

[remote thunder]

weird, worked for me. regardless, unless they do it randomly for expedition - not the case for other game modes/normal starting conditions, this has always been a thing

[bitter plover]

Do you need cyto-phospate for anything? Just refined all I got from a reward..

[floral blade]

Good to know. Thank you.

[remote thunder]

not really (used for hydrothermal fuel cell, nautilon's fuel)

[cedar zodiac]

Oh cool, good to know

[main pewter]

Finally made it to phase 4

Any tips on syrupy viscera

[cedar zodiac]

you're making pretty good progress.

Shouldn't be too hard, you can stand on your ship to avoid the bugs, and then the big burrow guys go down pretty easy

[bitter plover]

Where do I get impulse beans?

Never mind found some

[magic elbow]

where can i quickly find a trade terminal for the last few missions of phase 5? just need some items to craft my hyperdrive and survey device

[cedar zodiac]

theres one on the space station

[magic elbow]

oh i'm rarted

i thought the station was outta wack

[cedar zodiac]

It is

but there's still a trade terminal

for some weird reason

[magic elbow]

coolio

[cedar zodiac]

should be on the right side, i think

if you are facing the exit

[magic elbow]

thx

teleporter on the right, terminal on the left

[bitter plover]

Finally got off planet 3... 🙂 Was getting really annoyed about the sentinels on that planet... 🙂
Hotfix for the controller seems to have worked!

[floral blade]

How can I place my geobay in my pocket?

Well I think I have it now

[bitter plover]

Press the right joystick on Xbox One controller

[floral blade]

I’m on pc

[magic elbow]

gg

for some reason i can't re-claim my leviathan rewards on my utopia save tho? maybe just cuz steamdeck keeps disconnecting from ze internets lul

[cedar zodiac]

restart?

[shy geyser]

Anyone heard if there's gonna be another opportunity to replay the past expeditions? i got this game recently and have been enjoying the current one, would like to do the older ones as well for funsies.

[marsh cairn]

I'm still hopeful that they'll abandon this limited time content charade, and just make the expeditions selectable anytime. It's not as if I can't get any of the rewards just by using a save editor. I'm just not interested in time-limited content.

I play video games to relax, not to have deadlines.

[quasi copper]

You've probably already disposed of it, but I'm pretty sure they give you the cyto-phosphate because it's used to build the decoration you just got the formula for, those coral spirals.

[bitter plover]

🙂 To be honest I'm only doing the exp for the rewards... I'll be collecting them on my main save once I'm done...

and deleting the save....

[quasi copper]

I'd like that, too, but they probably won't. Given what people say about the expedition players being sort of in their own world (don't meet non-expedition players), it may have its own servers behind it that they want to be able to swing over to new content instead of leaving eternally available for old stuff.

[marsh cairn]

The servers argument is an interesting one. From everything I've seen, very little of what goes on in NMS is server based. Nearly everything is peer-to-peer, or appears to be.

[magic elbow]

i mean..

you kinda still need a server for a lot of what it does

[marsh cairn]

Well, ok, but if any of it is server hosted, explain how 1) it all works offline, and 2) if the "host" quits a game, the remaining players can continue as if nothing changed.

[magic elbow]

🤡

the only stuff the server rly "hosts" is bases

every time you land on a planet the stuff around you gets generated based on it's seed

there's a bunch of seeds for the planets, then a set of solar systems that contain those planets, and 256 galaxies that contain those systems

[marsh cairn]

Even that varies by client. Play with a friend and point to a plant, see if they can harvest it. Unless it's changed very recently, they can't even see your plants. They're generated per-player on the client side.

[magic elbow]

all of that is basically client side, yes

the only parts of the game that reaaaallly require the server are synchronizing discoveries and bases, space stations, and the anomaly

[marsh cairn]

The bases and system/planet names are hosted in a sense, but only in that your game client loads that stuff from the server when you enter one of those areas.

Even the Anomaly could be easily peer-to-peer in practice. Nothing about the Anomaly requires it to be server hosted. There's no NPCs there that can interact with multiple players in a meaningful way, so all the NPCs can still be client-rendered exclusively. And the Anomaly still works completely offline; you just don't see other players running around.

[magic elbow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[marsh cairn]

It's all very clever and really well built.

I'm frankly impressed by the implementation.

[magic elbow]

anyway, i don't rly get the point of making all expeditions available

[marsh cairn]

Here we go again.

[magic elbow]

you have a whole month to finish it, and for example this one was rly easy

[marsh cairn]

I've already made the point.

[magic elbow]

if i can do it in 2d with >100h of total playtime's worth of experience in the game, you can surely play an hour a day for a couple weeks as a begginer and get beat it

[marsh cairn]

If you can't understand how artificial deadlines kill enjoyment, then I can't help you, but your failure to understand it doesn't change reality for players it affects. And making them available to all players without a time limitation doesn't affect anyone who has already completed it, specifically because the expedition rewards are all something you can easily obtain with a save editor..

[magic elbow]

lolk

i just like events

gives me an insentive to actually do it

the rewards are meaningless to me

[marsh cairn]

If I wanted the rewards, I'd just hack them in. I'd just like to be able to play the expedition content without a deadline looming over me.

[magic elbow]

that's a you problem buddy

[marsh cairn]

It isn't, really. I just don't play expeditions.

[magic elbow]

then y do you even care

[marsh cairn]

I'd just like to be able to play the expedition content without a deadline looming over me.

I copy pasted that, by the way.

Read it this time.

Maybe you'll understand.

[magic elbow]

dear player: nobody cares

i read it the first, and the scond, and the third time

nobody cares.

[marsh cairn]

I care.

And there's at least one other person here who agrees with me.

[magic elbow]

the deadline is forgiving enough to let you finish the expedition 50x, there's no real "looming threat" whatsoever

ur just bad at the game

good luck and goodbye

[marsh cairn]

Way to make an irrelevant point by insulting me.

argumentum ad hominem.

[magic elbow]

the point is you're overreacting to a non-existent problem

[quasi copper]

You don't get it and probably aren't going to. For me, as soon as you give me a deadline, no matter how far off, it goes from fun to work. I don't understand why you need to insult players who have a different experience, as though it were some sort of personal thing. But this conversation is not benefiting anyone.

[marsh cairn]

I'm certainly not overreacting. I've defended my point of view, only.

[magic elbow]

my intelligence was insulted and i don't agree with their point, therefore it's personal, if y'all have a problem with the time limit so be it, but fck off n stfu thx

[marsh cairn]

The bottom line is that I bought the game, and I'd like to be able to play the content at my own leisure. I've identified the problem. I've suggested a way to address the problem. All you've done is attempt to shout me down.

I don't think it's entirely fair to say this is personal. I didn't insult you. I asked you to give an attempt at understanding my point of view, as I inferred that you weren't really trying, resulting in you asking a question that I had already answered. I simply pointed this out, by asking you to read what I wrote.

[magic elbow]

ur right, i wasn't rly trying cuz the time limit is the only thing that makes me wanna play the expeditions, i'm sorry for making this into a bigger argument then it needed to be, i took things the wrong way

[misty kindle]

I do agree that expeditions would make great side content for new players, if they could go through them all when they wanted. I had stopped playing before they released and didn't play the first few expeditions. I'd love to sink my teeth into that content for sure.

[quasi copper]

I missed the first four, and would like to have the experience of the challenges and the story, even though I can save edit the rewards in.

[south dune]

I’m in the same boat. Can always hope for another set of re runs, but I won’t save edit them in

[wraith venture]

Language, please. We need to remember our server rules and channel rules. Let's keep arguments out of chat. If you'd like to take it to DMs, feel free. Or try Discord's block feature.

[wraith venture]

This rule applies to everyone in this channel by the way, not just Hazel.

[marsh cairn]

Is this you telling us that further discussion of expeditions possibly being made non-time-limited is not suitable content for this channel?

[south dune]

No, it’s telling you not to argue and name call in a channel intended to help people with said expeditions

Let it be.

[magic elbow]

.> yikes my dude, way to put words in others mouth

[lusty slate]

Also, often skill level has little to do with why someone can't complete a timed event. Jobs, children, etc.

[wraith venture]

This channel is for the discussion of Expeditions. But keep it civil. No arguments. Or drama. Be respectful in how you address one another. Take arguments to DMs if you'd like. Or block people if needed.

[south dune]

Exactly why I haven’t done mine. I, and most people I imagine, have many obligations that get in the way

[magic elbow]

that's understandable

i'm a useless member of society so i dun have to think about that

[nimble token]

Never completed a expedition 🤭

[marsh cairn]

Understood.

Back to the discussion: I'm not advocating the use of a save editor at all. I don't use one, I haven't, and I don't intend to. I only use that as a counterpoint to the idea that expedition rewards are somehow exclusive to players who completed said expeditions "when they were available".

[magic elbow]

then again i feel like half n hour a day would still make it doable in the time you get

[south dune]

lol no you’re good

[wraith venture]

[wraith venture]

tbh, it is. especially when the expedition lasts this long, over a month since it began.

[south dune]

Absolutely! I’ll still get it done at some point but I’m usually too tired or distracted to fire up the laptop. That’s not on Hello Games though, and the deadline DOES get me moving lol

[wraith venture]

some ppl don't enjoy the tedious nature of some expeditions, so be it. it's okay to not do an expedition, as Stef himself has chosen to do.

you can also complete some phases of the expeditions and get some of the rewards.

[south dune]

I’ll for sure be prioritizing the base part rewards if I can

[wraith venture]

no one is obligated to play an event. Hello Games has proven that there's no need for FOMO in this game.

[floral blade]

About to go back to planet 1 in search for copper.

[marsh cairn]

I'm in the same boat, of having never completed an expedition. Other commitments mean I sometimes have to take a break from NMS for a month or two, and I can't always predict when that will happen. So rather than having progress on a save taken away from me by an arbitrary deadline, I simply don't play time-limited content.

That doesn't mean I don't want to play it. I just don't.

[south dune]

Big agree! The twitch rewards last week(?) were my first ones and needless to say I’ll be keeping my eye out for those from now on

[wraith venture]

Hello Games has made some of the past expedition rewards available through Twitch Drops. so there are multiple opportunities to get them. it's okay. no need to be upset that you can't complete a specific expedition. and there's no need to judge other ppl's enjoyment of an event or parts of the game in general. or make them feel guilty if they can or cannot complete an expedition.

[marsh cairn]

I feel like the time-limiting of expeditions creates FOMO regardless. Case in point, I have no interest in beginning an expedition, for the simple fact that if I'm prevented from playing for several weeks or a couple months, then I lose my expedition save.

[quasi copper]

They probably won't change it, but maybe someone could make a mod that makes the storyline and rewards available.

[marsh cairn]

In my case, I won't even try, and that's a work around, but not a solution.

[wraith venture]

if you have no interest, that's fine. as i said before, this channel is about Expeditions. if you're here for them, feel free to ask questions or get tips. and if you have a complaint for HG, you're welcome to provide them feedback via their Zendesk (helpful links in Pins or if you run !HelloGames in #bot-spam)

[wraith venture]

i should try to hoard more copper too

[magic elbow]

yeah having enough copper at all times is a bitch for some reason

[wraith venture]

just gotta hoard as much as possible on Planet 1. i spent tons of time there but i wanna go back to get more just in case

[floral blade]

I can’t find my planet 1

[wraith venture]

if you need planet names and coordinates, there's info in the pins: <#nms-expedition message>

if you built a base there, you can try a teleporter like from the space station.
Planet: New Kehille

[floral blade]

I made it back

Thanks

Now I need fuel for my ship

[main pewter]

I agree some people have lives and kids to deal with having a deadline that seems forgiving then life hits and you sign in to a day left is stressful

[wraith venture]

I'm sorry I missed this earlier. Rewards in this game are available on PC, via save editors and game mods. Including rewards from Expeditions and Twitch Drops. Check #nms-modding for questions/help.

[wraith venture]

That's another top priority resource I made sure to hoard. We have that listed in our No Man's Stranded pinned tips Hopefully enough people read those, so they don't get stranded

[shy geyser]

so i had to leave the 3rd planet to get more chromatic metal for the base computer, now i cant find my wway back to the location. any =one know how i can locatte the base building spot again?

[wraith venture]

If you de-select and re-select the milestone, you don't get a marker?

Here's a pin showing the location of a Colossal Archive on planet 3. Not sure if that helps at all: <#nms-expedition message>

[wanton frigate]

Happened to me too. Couldn't get a marker from the task list or the waypoint list. Just build somewhere else and eat the loss of the save beacon, unless you fancy combing the entire planet by eye or there was a landmark nearby that will get you within a few hundred u of it.

Ready to warp out. Anything I should do before I leave?
Found a drop pod with an eco suit upgrade on Sesto and a crashed ship on the first planet, and got the a class multitool from the sentinel control tower some kind soul built a base beside. Any other highlights anyone would recommend or is it time to start playing the game proper, albeit with a sweet new ship?

[quasi copper]

You can always come back. The only thing you can't do after finishing is help other players with it.

[silent radish]

Got damn it I left a save beacon so I could find the place on planet 3 where you confirm you've gotten thete

But the beacon

No work anymore

I mean

Planet 4

Oh it works now I've gone to someone elses beacon

This game is weirdd

[floral blade]

I am pretty much staying on planet 1 until I have at least over 1000 copper.

It’s ridiculous

[quasi copper]

You can go back if you need more. You can also accomplish some later stuff while you're there, though.

[floral blade]

I may also just enjoy the game and not worry about the expedition too. We will see.

I’m fairly new to the game and it seems kind of overwhelming to a newb like me.

[quasi copper]

Have fun and do things when you want to do them. The expedition will be there for a little while. I enjoyed it, though.

[hollow gazelle]

This one is pretty relaxed, geared torwards new players

I’d recommend it starting, only thing outside norm is crafting in base only

[floral blade]

When looking for copper do you fly around and scan? Is that the most efficient way?

[quasi copper]

And base computer cost. It's normally much, much cheaper to establish a base.

[quasi copper]

Ride around in the nomad and scan. No launch fuel costs.

[hollow gazelle]

Yea but besides crafting the phases are fine for anyone to get into nothin to hard

[floral blade]

Good idea

[quasi copper]

If you're having trouble finding desposits, you can set the terrain manipulator to dig more finely. It takes a lot longer to mine, but you get more out of the deposit.

[floral blade]

I’m also playing on normal with no helps on resources.

[wanton frigate]

Cheers. Stupid question but in what way can you help others? Other than making sure you get every scrap of metal out of a deposit so it doesn't register on their scanner and have them trek hundreds of Us only to find a single grain of copper at the bottom of a deep hole?

[quasi copper]

You can give them things, you can help them fight stuff.

[wanton raft]

In the current expedition, if I delete my first base can I put down somewhere else without paying a lot of materials?

[remote thunder]

you can delete the parts you used to build whatever the objective wanted you to, especially power sources/teleporter mats. just remember to always craft stuff you will need to survive and summon/launch your ship

deleting the base comp via its interaction menu (the only way to delete a base) will not give you the 200 c metal+500 pure fer back

[grand lodge]

this is what I did. I spent a niiiiiice long time on planet 1 just hoarding stuff. I'm not speedrunning.

[jagged charm]

finally done

that was a PITA exp

[topaz creek]

I completed the expedition and tried to get the utopia ship on another save but they charge me for it, they want me to pay nanites for it, isn't is suppose to be free when you have completedd the expedition and earn it?

[quasi copper]

I heard that it claims it costs, but if you take the deal, you actually don't pay.

[topaz creek]

oh oki doki ty

[quasi copper]

Check your funds before and after. If they don't match, restore the save from when you exited the ship?

[topaz creek]

oki doki

[topaz creek]

thank you

[wanton raft]

When I get to the second planet of the expedition I get a location of where to build. Is there a base computer already laid down for me at this location? If so I don't want to miss it, but I don't want to keep looking for it if it isn't here either.

[brazen gazelle]

Does any one know the date when’d the expedition ends?

[quasi copper]

No, you'll have to build everything. You don't have to build at the indicated location, but you do have to visit it.

[quasi copper]

Run !exptime in #bot-spam , but it ends April 4, if I recall.

[brazen gazelle]

Ok thanks

[wanton raft]

It's really April 1st, but they want that to be a surprise. 😉

[atomic cave]

Install visor and survey the countryside looking for copper deposits. Then run towards them and mine them. If you have sentinels chasing you, dig a tunnel and walk all the way to the deposit, andmine that copper from below.

[floral blade]

Thanks

[young vessel]

I've never done an expedition before; are the rewards available across saves, or will they only be available within the expedition-mode save?

[native bloom]

Major (phase) rewards are across saves

[sly pond]

@native bloom Ever look into the speeder? Because it most certainly performs differently in atmo than other fighters.

[native bloom]

I didn't see anything different about it in the files

I'll take a quick look again though

[main pewter]

Never heard of a gaseous hotspot before any tips

[sly pond]

You can toggle survey device to EM, mineral, or gaseous hotspots

[wanton raft]

As for the scaling of the volcano in the expedition, I've jetpacked all the way up to the tip top, but not reward. What do I need to do? Though myself in the lava?

[main pewter]

Fly over the lava

Don’t touch you will die

[atomic cave]

I did a savepoint before escalating, jumped into the lava, and escaped flying out. Burned but got the reward. ........... Only died once.

[ocean gorge]

Check the pins, there’s info about stuff like that

[olive hill]

i need some help in on the part where i have to summit a volcano but idk if my game broke or something but i have no planet with volcanos

[quasi copper]

The second planet, Pehaelump, should have volcanoes almost all over. Sometimes they don't rez in until you're close to them, especially if you're on your ship. Land on Pehaelump and exit the ship, then look.

[olive hill]

this is my pehaelump

[quasi copper]

Do you have mods that change terrain?

[olive hill]

@quasi copperi think so

[quasi copper]

You may need to temporarily disable those mods, which will probably screw up your bases a bit until you put them back in.

[olive hill]

@quasi copperi feel dumb now thanks lol

[quasi copper]

I hope that's the problem. Good luck!

[olive hill]

@quasi copperit fixed it

[steel pagoda]

Hey,

Did anyone have problems with completing phase 3? I think assignment gamma is bugged on me.

Went to the location that was marked, built the base, uploaded, the usual and it's acting like I never collected the map from the archives.

Oh shoot. I think I solved it. Didn't realize this was one of those analysis visor to pinpoint exact place moments.

And I'm out of chromatic metal after building this base computer.

[quasi copper]

I think you'll still be okay if you go visit the location you were supposed to. Once you have, you can build anywhere.

[steel pagoda]

Yea. Didn't realize it wanted a supply depot area lol. I'm gonna upload my base all over again see if it completes it now. I just built the base before that.

Yea that let me collect my base reward phew. Cuz there is a giant sentinel walker waiting outside my door.

I got greedy on the balls again. 😇

[quasi copper]

Next time, turn off sentinels at a pillar, and then get greedy. : )

[steel pagoda]

True. Force of habbit running auto pilot before sentinel towers existed

Plus it's 1:30 am. The mind is a sieve lol.

[wanton raft]

Same here on my one attempt. Burned but survived.

[native bloom]

Yeah, you have to get burned to get the milestone

Take heat damage

[whole siren]

How do u get the utopia expedition role

[meager scroll]

You can grab it by reacting in #roles channel

[whole siren]

Thx

[bitter plover]

Larval Cores - Is there a flatter place to get them that on Planet 4??

[bitter plover]

Make sure you do all the reward suit upgrades - Helps a lot...

[ashen shore]

Hello guys. Can anyone help me and give me 5 chromatic metals? On the third world and need some kind of gauntlet

[whole siren]

Wait, larval cores?

Is that on planet 4 or 3

[jagged sedge]

iirc there are some rocks on one of the planets that has CM as secondary element, maybe try harvesting from those?

[ashen shore]

Nvm I got what I needed.

Now I have to craft the gauntlet. Do I have to go back to my base or does any base and settlement work

[jagged sedge]

Any Utopia base will do

[ashen shore]

Ok thanks

[jagged sedge]

No problem, in fact I've completed exp 9 twice now, so I can possibly answer more questions 🙂

[ashen shore]

WhAt

Why?

It’s torture

[jagged sedge]

Nah, it's fun

[fringe agate]

I enjoyed it too

I like building

[jagged sedge]

I was impressed at how many piles of floor tiles I found as other player's bases tho

[fringe agate]

I was sad 😦

Second base

[jagged sedge]

Very nice! If only others took the example --

[ashen shore]

I was 200u away from the Star something plant that I needed.

And guess what

My fucking game crashes

[fringe agate]

Ugh

[jagged sedge]

Ouch

[fringe agate]

Third planet

[ashen shore]

Why spend time on the bases?

[fringe agate]

Spirit of the Expedition

I'm a settler

[ashen shore]

You can just slap together some walls and you’re done

[meager scroll]

Because it's fun

[fringe agate]

I could have just save edited stuff in also, but I liked the challenge I set myself

Make some small bases, using the resources I can scavenge

[jagged sedge]

I also have a certain amount of pride in my base building, I always ask, would I want this to be my home?

[ashen shore]

Damn. I just want my ship

[fringe agate]

Totally fine too

Most of the expeditions have been similar in that they don't appeal to everyone

Leviathan being particularly divisive on that front

[ashen shore]

I hate these drones

[jagged sedge]

Do you mean, you're still fixing your hauler?

[meager scroll]

For me personally this expedition was a pleasant one

Diverse planets, diverse milestones, some nice story leaving us with a cliffhanger

[fringe agate]

I chilled on the first planet for hours gathering

[ashen shore]

No. The reward ship

I’m on the third planet

[jagged sedge]

Oh, you're doing all this for the speeder

[meager scroll]

I like the quirky crafting mechanics to keep things interesting

[ashen shore]

Yes

[fringe agate]

That's the one I built underwater, since sentinels don't come down

[meager scroll]

I enjoyed it and really don't understand all the fuss around it

[ashen shore]

Annnd my game crashed again

Is there any way to fix this?

[meager scroll]

Verify game files integrity

[fringe agate]

console

[meager scroll]

In case of PC update your GPU driver (preferably clean install), close background programs to free some RAM

Consoles don't have verify integrity?

[ashen shore]

I’m on Xbox

[fringe agate]

Nah, they got reinstall

[meager scroll]

Or is it just reinstalling?

Oh didnt know

[fringe agate]

Turn off Multiplayer

[ashen shore]

That’s the only way?

[fringe agate]

I dunno, just a suggestion

[ashen shore]

Alr thanks

[fringe agate]

I played on my series X and didn't crash at all

No multiplayer enabled though

[ashen shore]

I’ll try that

Now I gotta build some godforsaken nutrient something

[jagged sedge]

I think the restriction on recharging LS with oxygen made another challenge, but having the nutrient processor unlocked from the start was a pretty cool hint to a solution

[ashen shore]

And my game crashed again

Y’all realize why I’m calling this expedition a torture now?

[meager scroll]

Because of game crashing - yes

But expedition itself is fine

[ashen shore]

Why does every world have to have a high sentinel level?

I’m just trying to collect some material I don’t need a battle

[meager scroll]

1st planet is a paradise without Sentinels

You can fly back there, collect materials in piece and come back

[ashen shore]

Then I gotta worry about starship fuel and launch fuel and stuff

[meager scroll]

You know you can shoot asteroids for Tritium for pulse drive?

And that launching from launch pads does not consume fuel?

You are making it into a way bigger problem that it is

But if you wanna suffer on planet with Sentinels, rough terrain and hazards - go on

[ashen shore]

Wdym launch pads

You can build launch pads?

[meager scroll]

Your starship does not use launch fuel when you take off from launch pads

The platforms you find near minor settlements or on trading outposts / planetary archives

GO back to 1st planet, fly a bit looking for these structures, land on a launch pad

And you dont have to worry about launch fuel for take off

[ashen shore]

I didn’t know that. Thanks

Eh, which one is the first planet?

[meager scroll]

New Kehille

(that's what the pins say, I dont have access to game right now)

[ashen shore]

Alr thanks

[jagged sedge]

Starting out on a paradise world is a nice change, I think

Also, having food items being more important here is also a nice touch

[bitter plover]

Syurpy Viscera - Where can I get sweet root?? Which planet??

[jagged sedge]

You can use cactus flesh -> cactus nectar -> processed sugar

[bitter plover]

I was just coming to ask where I can find cactus flesh??

It's going to be planet 3 isn't it????

[jagged sedge]

Echinocactus, on the infested planet

[bitter plover]

Is that planet 4? The one with Titan burrows?

[jagged sedge]

The one with the whispering eggs scattered around

"Idalth"

You can turn sweetroots into sugar, if you can find, the starter planet has them around

[bitter plover]

Got it thanks 🙂

[jagged sedge]

The syrupy viscera dish is more to demonstrate how food items can earn good money, I don't think it's actually edible by the player tho

Sounds nasty anyway, lol

[bitter plover]

I just sold mine... 🙂

[tired cove]

guys, after I finish the 9th expedition, will the expedition continue to 10?

[fringe agate]

No

[tired cove]

will it reset to 1 again and repeat?

[fringe agate]

No

[tired cove]

so?

[fringe agate]

It will convert to a Normal mode save, and we wait for the next Expedition and start a new save for that

[tired cove]

I mean after 6 weeks will it continue 10th expedition or back to 1

[fringe agate]

Neither is the most likely answer - odds are there will be a 10th, but we don't have any official date. It won't go back to 1, these don't sit and repeat, they are time limited. The last two years they have reran 4 expeditions Nov - Jan, so that may happen again this year.

[tired cove]

so there is a chance that I can finish the expedition that I missed the next day if they will release that content again?

[fringe agate]

If they rerun the expedition you are speaking of, sure.

[tired cove]

thank you

[fringe agate]

No problem

[whole siren]

Why is there so much sentinels on the 3rd planet?

[glass stump]

Where the heck do I get Wiring Looms for the Advanced Mining Laser?

[glass stump]

Last year than reran the four expeditions at the end of the year, December through January.

[wanton raft]

In my recollection HG has only re-run some of the mods up to three times new, but some only once (like the first one). The first one is the only one I still haven't done.

I sure hope I see the news and/or get alerted by someone if the first one ever runs again.

[languid dove]

there finally a new expedition?

[fringe agate]

!exptime

[unkempt kraken]

to view, enable Link Preview

Expedition 9: Utopia

Finish it before <t:1680609600:f> (<t:1680609600:R>, your local timezone)

See Pins in #nms-expedition & run !Expedition in #bot-spam

[wanton raft]

Having a hell of a time finding gold asteroids during this expedition. Are asteroids more sparse in this version of the game or just in this expedition system?

[glass stump]

Where the heck do I get Wiring Looms for the Advanced Mining Laser?

[ocean gorge]

Idk but the first planet you start on has metal fingers so you can get uranium & gold that way

[remote thunder]

if you complete and claim phase1 milestone3, you'll get it prepacked, just install on a free slot, no mats needed

[sinful elm]

I don't even know how many times I bought blueprints for thing with nanites only to be rewarded the same blueprint 5 minutes later on this expedition

[glass stump]

HUmm, strange. I have one installed and it require material. I think I have another "packaged" in my inventory. Not sure why I have 2. I'll try removing the installed one and put the other one in. Thanks

[sinful elm]

That's why it's always good to read ahead (in game and in life)

[remote thunder]

yeah, for quick progression overall, it's best if the player sorta reads ahead, what milestones seem to require being completed on specific planets, which rewards they give , etc

[wanton raft]

Yeah, there's another planet (the exotic one) with gold deposits too.

[remote thunder]

many milestones provide valuable jump starts on multiple areas of progression

if a milestone rewards resources, or makes you farm some resources, often those resources will come in handy to complete another milestone

[sinful elm]

I never ran short on nanites, so I guess it was a non-issue in the end

But planning ahead is certainly the key to this expedition

[remote thunder]

i almost didn't unlock anything, and it's common for me to end up with close to 10k nanites almost without even trying

[wanton frigate]

Is there any kind of aftercare support for the post-expedition newbies?
After jumping and claiming my ship, with no particular place to go, I took off, got scanned, and they found all the geknip that Utopia have me muling. Anyway, long story short, any tips for a first space-police-chase, for someone who's still in their slow hauler?

[twilit moss]

Can always call the Anomaly and wait out the fuzz

[wanton frigate]

I didn't know what The Anomaly was, but I found the button and the death star just showed up and saved my bacon. Thanks.
Can't help but wonder though, I'm smuggling contraband, running from the law and I have a brand new Darth Vader helmet.

...am I the baddy?

[bitter plover]

All done!

[sly pond]

@wanton frigate Yes, but bonus points for the Blackadder reference lol

[wanton frigate]

I was going more Mitchell and Webb but anything that lets me stand in Lord Edmund's shadow, even if accidental, is welcome 😉

[sly pond]

Oh crap, I got it wrong, lol

[grand lodge]

quick question, I happen to be at a convenient place to grab larval cores but I don't know how many I need yet, anybody remember how many that was?

[sly pond]

@grand lodge Pretty sure they have to be collected at the appropriate step of the task

[grand lodge]

ah, so it goes

[wanton frigate]

Are they the thing that come out of the eggs? Think it's 3. Or maybe that was as many as I could get before my nerves were shot 😉
But yeah, I think you have to open a fixed number of eggs as part of the quest regardless

[wanton raft]

How to I apply exosuit expansion units without a working station?

[floral dust]

you add them from your suit, no need for a station

[grand lodge]

ah, turns out we can get the larval cores anytime! I decided to grab a few where I was since it was easy, just in case, and it worked fine for the syrupy viscera. The cleanse has to be done in a specific order but the cooking doesn't require it

I don't think you need many in any case, I got a bunch but only used 8 and I don't think that was the requirement, it was just the most I could make with the other ingredients

[wanton raft]

I don't see a way to do that. Transfer, move/stack and discard are the only options I see.

[quasi copper]

The ones you get as a reward? Those applied automatically for me when I got them. They're sitting as a stack in your inventory? If you have a save just before you claimed them, I'd try reverting to that save and claiming them over again.

[wanton raft]

That was way back. I'm hoping they'll apply when I get my next stack.

[ocean gorge]

They should.

[grand lodge]

last thing I gotta do is find this bird...

[wanton raft]

Everybody's heard ... about the bird.

[grand lodge]

alrighty! doneski

speeder's pretty cool

lives up to its name doesn't it

[wanton raft]

Any need for the runawy mold later in the expedition or can I convert it into nanites? I assume I can.

[quasi copper]

You don't need it for anything, so, yeah, you can convert it.

[wanton raft]

Let that mold refine into nanites and them the game crashed right after (5th time in this epedition).

This time the game actually saved on the crash looks like.

That's cool ... and disturbing.

Due to the crashes and instability of the PS4, this has been the most frustrating expedition yet. Not long, just frustrating.

Kinda boring so far too.

[quasi copper]

My condolences on all the crashing. I had a hard go of it the first few days, but the patch fixed my crashing (PC).

[wanton raft]

So I should have the patch on the PS4 right? I's not telling me about another update. I just updated less than a day ago.

[quasi copper]

As far as I know, that's current. I think it was just more successful in fixing problems on PC.

[viscid wedge]

What is that cooperative rebuilding in utopia actually like?

[quasi copper]

More individual than it sounds. You can use other people's bases, as usual, of course, but each player gets assignments to build a base on each of five worlds. I enjoyed it, ||and the station is restored at the end||, which is nice, but it happens kind of passively.

[viscid wedge]

So not that much new cooperative incentives or gameplay after all? Kind of expected I guess but wanted to double check

[jagged sedge]

Helpful tip - when mining copper on the starting planet, be sure to set the terrain manipulator to the smallest setting - it will take longer, but you'll get more copper from each deposit - I have mined 1 deposit and have 1,124 copper now

[viscid wedge]

Most players probably will just do quick minimal bases like with anomaly missions

[grand lodge]

I had one of those too. The aggravation, then pleasant surprise... 😂

[quasi copper]

Yeah, I hear there are a lot of stacks of floor panels passing as bases. Some people don't like building. I did some fairly basic stuff, but now I'm having fun going around and improving them little by little.

[viscid wedge]

I was always wondering about that one, what about Total yield per hour

Small miner vs just mining a bunch of resource deposits with big ones quickly

[jagged sedge]

It only took about 3 minutes to mine the whole thing

[viscid wedge]

With small one?

What about big one?

[jagged sedge]

There's only one terrain manipulator

[viscid wedge]

Doesn't it take more effort with small one to mine everything out too?

[quasi copper]

Yes, but you get more resources from the same deposit that way. Depends on whether you want average yield and more of your time to do other things, or want to take the time to make the most of it.

[viscid wedge]

Why not just mine more from another deposit?

[jagged sedge]

You can, once you find another, I'm just saying we might want to get the most copper per deposit

[viscid wedge]

It's not like they can run out

[jagged sedge]

Once you dig it up, it's gone

[grand lodge]

sure, you just have to factor in the time running about from deposit to deposit

[viscid wedge]

The deposits

[quasi copper]

Sometimes I'm just too lazy to walk over there. Also, I just feel bad not getting the most out of it. I have a hard time not setting it to the smallest and getting every last bit.

[jagged sedge]

The deep level deposits, which don't run out, can't be tapped with terrain manipulator anyway

[viscid wedge]

You probably miss some voxels anyway

[quasi copper]

Are you trying to ruin my day? LOL.

[viscid wedge]

You're welcome

[jagged sedge]

What's a voxel

[grand lodge]

the most fun is when you're mining on a stormy planet so you dig underneath the deposit and mine up

[quasi copper]

Anyway, in multiplayer in the expedition, it's probably polite not to leave a wasteland of pits where copper used to be for miles and miles around. Makes it easier for the next person.

[grand lodge]

I've always assumed it's most polite to turn off multiplayer at least for those bits

to avoid that exact situation

same reason I switch it off before harvesting from farmy bases

so the next person can enjoy it too

[jagged sedge]

I play the Switch edition, so nobody even knows I pilfered their silos

[floral blade]

Can you make biofuel reactors in exp mode? I am new to the game. Thanks!

[quasi copper]

You may have to wait for or purchase the recipe, but, yes, you can.

[foggy steppe]

Anyone have any spare pure ferrite

[winter rover]

There we go, completed Utopia expedition in one go :D

And yes it's 5 in the morning for me

Worth it

[young vessel]

I never knew this

I assumed it mined the same amount, just faster (and ending up with more silicate dust)

[jagged sedge]

Not recommended for areas near sentinels tho, they don't like mining ops

[quasi copper]

They don't seem to care about terrain manipulator use in my experience. Just the mining laser. Or weapons generally. Or running over and crushing resources in exocraft. That annoyed them.

[sly pond]

Make massive hole in the ground mining Silicate? No problem. Destroy 1 tiny pebble? DIE, PLAYER SCUM!!!!

[winter rover]

I've accidentally run over a creature with the exocraft and I feel bad about it :(

poor thing instantly died

[sly pond]

I've accidentally run over a creature, and backed up over it to ensure it was dead - it was the humane move lol.

[short sierra]

Well on stage 4 should finish tomorrow. Long as I can figure out this recipe.

[young vessel]

I find they don't start suppression until one of them looks you directly in the face

Meaning you can just casually walk away, keeping your back to them

Sentinel: Hey buddy, I'm talking to you! Don't just walk away ignoring me

[undone oyster]

gah I'm not enjoying building on this planet, why'd they give me a nautilon blueprint if they assigned me to a mountain inland

Sentinels are very annoying too

[fringe agate]

It's a little more open than it tells you. Once you find the marked spot and get that milestone, you can build anywhere you want to.

[jagged sedge]

I think I might try building an under-water base there this time

[undone oyster]

yeah that's my current plan

I figure the sentinels can't get me if I'm under the ocean

[jagged sedge]

I think they can aggro on you near the surface, but if you have any depth going on when they're near, they might not notice you

I wonder if they fixed the bug where your oxygen harvester will loose your loot if you run a refiner near it

[fringe agate]

That's what I did!

The milestones gave some underwater stuff so I took that as a hint

[jagged sedge]

Ah, cool -- Did it work pretty well?

[fringe agate]

Yep

I've built with extreme sentinels before, my first step is tossing down a prefab to stand in - then use build camera for the actual base build

[jagged sedge]

Welp, time to find my snorkel

[fringe agate]

The lights pushing through like that is killing me

[undone oyster]

There's silver in the stalagtites in this map so I'm using that for an aeratiom membrane

[jagged sedge]

Good idea

[undone oyster]

I found a cave with water access so I slapped my computer in there for now

[jagged sedge]

I wonder if there's a way to learn new NP recipes besides just trying random ingredients

[random lynx]

There’s a wiki

[jagged sedge]

I meant, in-game

[undone oyster]

Wait

where do you get hydrothermal fuel cells recipe for the nautilon?

surely they must give you one somewhere

[ashen shore]

Hello, I’m here to ask for assistance again

Can I just fly to some random settlement/base and craft, or do I have to go to a utopia base?

[wraith venture]

It has to be a base of yours. I believe regardless of where it is. But def your base.

[ashen shore]

Damn it

Can someone make me a unstable plasma please?

[undone oyster]

Huh I managed to craft while visiting someone elses base

[jagged sedge]

If you can get to a trade terminal on New Kehille, you can just buy them

[young vessel]

Completed the utopia expedition today

All of my bases consisted of a tiny wooden hut, with posters on the walls.

[fringe agate]

[undone oyster]

I tried to build observation platforms

On top of spires/over chasms

Getting the ferrite I need for that sort of thing takes a minute tho

[jagged sedge]

I just wish my oxygen harvester didn't keep vanishing the product

[undone oyster]

What're you spending oxygen on?

[jagged sedge]

It tends to reset to zero if I leave or run any other machinery

Using a medium refiner to increase my stock of a few items, by combining with oxygen

IF I have any

[undone oyster]

Oh smart

[jagged sedge]

It's not an issue in my main save, but here in my recently started expedition, any help counts

For example, 1 o2 plus 1 faecium = 3 faecium, which converts to mordite, which can convert into meat products - for restoring health and LS power

I am glad the Devs included food products in this expedition, they tend to be ignored in most cases

[ashen shore]

Hey guys, how can I find the flying animal in chapter 5? I’ve already scanned the other animals

[jagged sedge]

I think they tend to spawn in the evening, so watch the skies!

[undone oyster]

Do ship landing spots snap to the cylindrical room/cube room snapping points?

[ashen shore]

Thanks

[jagged sedge]

They should, if you have room -- You'll still need to build a door tho

[undone oyster]

hmm can't get it to snap to the end of a corridor

[jagged sedge]

I believe they snap to the rooms, idk about corridors tho

[remote thunder]

they do snap to corridors, the angle one has to aim at sometimes to get the landing pad to snap isn't intuitive

they also to prefab rooms themselves

[remote thunder]

be sure to double check pause > discoveries > system > planet > fauna, for possible spawning conditions for any of the fauna on a planet

[ashen shore]

I’ve already completed that

Thanks anyways

[jagged sedge]

Welp, I'm off to do my least favorite part, on the sentinels-with-attitude planet

[undone oyster]

oh hey I found an S tier mineral deposit near my bas- oh it's basalt nevermind

[jagged sedge]

I think basalt is used for like, one recipe, and that's it

Welp, my settlement target on New Sesto is near a coast, so that'll make some other stuff easier -- maybe

So, I'm sitting in a crashed ship I found at my restoration site, sentinels all around, interceptors inbound -- I wonder what will happen if I get out of the ship, lol

Base building is interesting, while sentinels are shooting you, lol

[ashen shore]

Hey guys, is anyone looking for something to do at the moment? Because if you are, can you please get me 210 chromatic metals? I’m so fucking close to finishing this god damn expedition, I’m literally on the last step. I thought I had done everything and that I was finally done with it, but then the game said that I had to craft a hyperdrive, which I thought I already had. I just need 210 chromatic metals to be done with this, and finally get my ship. Please help me get it. Im so fucking tired right now, and I can’t rest now since I only have this one step left.

Nvm I got it myself

Now I gotta craft fuel for the hyperdrive?🤨

If you do this shit for “fun”, you’re a fucking maniac

[subtle meadow]

that is why I got everything I needed off the start

[ashen shore]

I did it!!!

I fucking did it y’all

[sullen turret]

Huzzah!!

[sullen turret]

Hop out dig down like 5 levels then restore the first one. Out of sight out of mind. They all go away.

[ocean gorge]

There’s info in pins about locations of sentinel pillars…I just went there first and shut them down

[jagged sedge]

Fun fact - once you unlock the hyperdrive blueprint, any crashed ships you find will already have one, altho it may be broken --

[jagged sedge]

It's fine, the drone's lasers don't even hurt, it's more annoying than dangerous

[sullen turret]

I didn’t gather resources at start so they still did and the weather sucked. I did phase three underground. 😂 finished the expedition in 12hrs. With some goofing around

[jagged sedge]

This expedition seems to be easier than the redux were, I'm about halfway through my third round, lol

[sullen turret]

The redux was fun I’m hoping they’ll do another one for first half. Just maybe change the color of the 1st expedition’s ship. Out of respect for those that were originally there

[jagged sedge]

Who knows what the Devs have in store

[sullen turret]

Hopefully adding rivers is on that list. 😂

I’ve gotten pretty good at building gardens.

Being able to add some water features would be cool

[jagged sedge]

Indeed

[undone oyster]

aaand complete

got me the speeder

[jagged sedge]

I would like to thank 'Bazreal' for building their little [half-ass] base right next to a copper deposit

[wraith venture]

woot woot! 🥳 don't forget to get the role in #roles if you'd like the flair

[wraith venture]

that's awesome! love how convenient community bases can be in expeditions! i just wish everyone always named them with helpful names

[jagged sedge]

Many bases here have the procgen names still, I decided to at least number mine

[ashen shore]

That’s cool

[jagged sedge]

Yeap - not sure how helpful it may be, but-- it's a thing

Also, when turning copper into chromatic metal, if you can put it in a medium or large refiner with some pure ferrite, you get a 1:1 ratio instead of 2:1

[ashen shore]

Could’ve told me that when I was doing the expedition

[jagged sedge]

Um - this is the expedition channel --

[ashen shore]

I meant that you could’ve written that when I was asking for help here☠️

[jagged sedge]

I just discovered it, actually -- sorry

[ashen shore]

It’s fine

[jagged sedge]

But now I'm low on pure ferrite, lol

Time to blast some rox!

[ashen shore]

Pure ferrite is easy to get though

[jagged sedge]

Indeed

I need pugneum to build a thing, but I can't find it for sale anywhere, I guess I'll blast some sentinels to get it

[proven scroll]

for some reason the sentinels around my New Sesto base were completely chill

[languid dove]

wow this expedition was insanely easy

[wraith junco]

And fast

[languid dove]

i named the chunky red creature on the last planet "daddy" so if anyone sees it lemme know

[scarlet gate]

dont creature names only show up for the person who named it tho?

[languid dove]

nah ive seen other people's creature names before

[fierce pollen]

mhm

I once saw I believe a creature while doing the expedition that was named "Guardians of the galaxy ragnarok" or something like that

[wanton raft]

Starwars may be dead, but the snow speeder lives in NMS!

[proven scroll]

oh it does kinda look like a snowspeeder

[shrewd pollen]

You can't jump ahead on the expedition phases can you

[ocean gorge]

You can do things out of order

To a degree

Check the pins

[shrewd pollen]

Yeah, for the underwater pearls

I'm trying to get the survey device early. Seems like it's not possible

[ocean gorge]

It gives you the unlock as one of the last things

[burnt kraken]

@shrewd pollen the pearls one can be completed early. also, that one has nothing to do with the survey device as far as i can tell? you get that from phase 5, make a base on Endil D2

[shrewd pollen]

Yep, the pearl example he Shadow mentioned was just an example of doing things out of order. I was hoping I could shortcut some of the chromatic metal requirements by setting up a copper mineral extractor, but as far as I know you need the survey device to set up the normal extractors.

[burnt kraken]

i see i see, but whats preventing you from getting the survey device then?

[shrewd pollen]

On Phase 5? Just getting through the other phases is what prevents me from getting it early.

[burnt kraken]

you dont need to be in phase 5 to do that step tho ^^;

[shrewd pollen]

The step to get the survey device plans require me to build a base on the final planet. Don't I need to have them tell me where to go to get that? Or can I just plop down a base computer anywhere on the planet and it will count?

[burnt kraken]

hmm i see what you mean... but as far as i can remember i placed my base on the second planet where i wanted, not at that tower thingy

should be able to just plop down anywhere

[shrewd pollen]

Interesting...I think I'll give that a shot

[burnt kraken]

i specifically aimed for building the volcano world base at a buried treasure ruins because they protect from hazards

[proven scroll]

has the bug with first person exocraft been fixed yet?

[remote thunder]

not yet

tomorrow's monday, team will be back in the studio hard at work i'm guessing

[burnt kraken]

@shrewd pollen hmm so the third planet is telling me i need to build on a specific spot and that i need to get my instructions from Utopia first....

idk what happened on that second planet then ^^;

[burnt kraken]

so it seems you can build wherever you want on the planet, but only after they tell you to build making it seem like they want it right there 😵‍💫

at least as far as i can tell

[shrewd pollen]

I got lucky and found a player base on Endil A8 that had all of the expedition kiosks available. I just bought the survey device directly.

But yeah, the base didn't unlock that step in phase 5

[golden condor]

Finished my expedition

Mining copper for chromatic metal was the biggest pain in my keister. But it’s all done 😅

[wraith venture]

🥳 Congrats!

[celest juniper]

Hey. I had a question. For the expedition what constitutes "purging" a site of biological horrors? How big is a site? I'm not sure.

[golden condor]

Thank you.

[balmy holly]

If I remember it is an abandoned building

[golden condor]

A site is an abandoned building. You need to kill 10 of those monstrosities.

Start the quest and you’ll be pointed to the site. Go there, engage the nest, climb the building and kill the things.

[celest juniper]

I just got it done!! Just needed to be patient. 🙂

Thank you.

[proven scroll]

what's yalls favorite planet in the system?

[quasi copper]

For getting anything done, New Kehille (planet 1). For hanging around and building, Pehaelump (planet 2).

[jagged sedge]

For me, any of them will do

[indigo zenith]

Not a huge fan of the restrictions in this expedition

[jagged sedge]

They don't make it too difficult, I'm more than halfway through my third run

[ocean gorge]

I think they give you coordinates so they can probably sort of randomize where people are so everyone doesn’t get too clustered together, that’s my guess anyway. But since you can’t use a normal inhabited space station, you won’t likely be visiting a lot of other bases anyway. You can build wherever you want, as long as you first register at the coordinates it gives you on the stages that require as such (and logging in at the buildings, usually colossal archives, one is a trade post if I recall) etc

[jagged sedge]

When I started my current, I spawned within visual range of a shelter -- woot!

[balmy temple]

I finished the expedition a few days ago, honestly the only hard part for me was I am still new and forgot how to make chromatic metal 💀

[short sierra]

I finished the expedition. Fun recipes again well all done.

[short sierra]

Normal till you do around 5 expeditions. It takes time to get all the skills learned.

[jagged sedge]

Is there anyone in here still working on it?

[short sierra]

Well time to play Hogwarts Legacy. Have a good day. I will always pick No Man's Sky over almost any game.

[jagged sedge]

Watch out for the 'trap table'

[short sierra]

Won't finish Hogwarts Legacy till July getting every resource possible and added mod for every beast to collect 298 I believe.

[jagged sedge]

I'm doing that here in NMS, trying to learn all recipes and stuff

[for science]

[short sierra]

Long road good luck. Been at NMS since May of last year and no way I have done all the recipes. Rest is 100 done except every galaxy.

[jagged sedge]

I have a feeling I will be in this game for quite a while yet

[fathom schooner]

And expedition complete

It's was a interesting concept.

It would be great if we could actually terraform planets

Or a chunk of land for your own little slice of heaven

[ornate sphinx]

Ngl I have no idea how to start an expedition

[quasi copper]

You pick a game mode, then new game, and it should be one of your new game options, over toward the right, I think.

[ornate sphinx]

Oh so it would be a new save file?

[quasi copper]

Yes. You can carry your phase rewards and final reward over into any other save, and when you finish, you get the option to convert this save into a normal one.

[ornate sphinx]

Are the rewards worth doing it?

[south dune]

thats for you to decide

[quasi copper]

It's a relatively fast one, and the rewards are pretty good, IMO. You get a helmet with a popular appearance, and the Speeder, a ship with some nifty upgrades.

[ornate sphinx]

Interesting I’ll have to do it then

[marsh haven]

the ship is very monochromatic...

[ocean gorge]

Finished PS5
Started on Series X
After that, then I’ll do it on Switch😁

[wanton raft]

Talking about doing the expedition multiple times? I did it on the PS4 and now I'm doing it on the PC.

It seems to me that the game is just a bit more buggy in than it was a few months back. I've basically been away since the last expedition.

[patent canyon]

It is. Nomad exo craft is broken now (I get black screen when I enter it and when leaving it, I get teleported under the surface textures). And while the game used sometimes rare graphical bugs, which got fixed by restart, now as a bonus everything is shaking like crazy if such issue happens.

[surreal cargo]

Am i missing something or do i really need to find 200 chromatic metal for the second base computer?

[native bloom]

You really need to

[jagged sedge]

If you'd like, I have a copper extractor set up at my base, called ||Utopia 1||

Also, copper + pure ferrite = CM at a 1:1 ratio, instead of 2:1 for just copper

[surreal cargo]

I am good with copper now. The thing is that now i need to kill hungering tendrils

Buut the burrows vanish too fast ig players take them out

Finnaly found an intact burrow

[stiff jackal]

Weird question

In this expedition is there a functional space station. Or a functional. Anything

[fringe agate]

Semi functional station

Has a trade terminal, has a teleporter

[stiff jackal]

This time around it feels horribly, dead

[fringe agate]

Yeah, that's the deal

[stiff jackal]

Im stuck with a hauler and i hate haulers

[fringe agate]

Abandoned system we revitalize

Wish it actually was a game mechanic - do a chain of quests, abandoned becomes inhabited

Maybe not for every abandoned though

[stiff jackal]

Maybe a space station gets turned into one of those pirate ones

[fringe agate]

Oh I like that

[stiff jackal]

Not fixed but has. People

[fringe agate]

Yeah

[stiff jackal]

You dont even get the anomaly

[surreal cargo]

Aand now i feel dumb for not gathering any cobalt

I am just some ionized cobalt away from ending this expedition

[stiff jackal]

Phase 3 of this exp sucks lmao

[sly pond]

Marrow + Oxygen if you happened to unlock medium refiner, but cobalt is easy to find

[stiff jackal]

Sentinels will not leave me alone

[surreal cargo]

Wait the speeder is a fighter? I thought it was a new ship type

[sly pond]

@surreal cargo It's a unique fighter type, with boosted atmospheric performance.

[surreal cargo]

I see.

[cedar zodiac]

should be able to find some in any underground cave

[cedar zodiac]

under water or dig, they suck

[stiff jackal]

I may or may not have flown directly into a black hole

[cedar zodiac]

proud of you

[stiff jackal]

Finally i can change my appearance

If im gonna be alone and stuck looking at myself for this entire expedition id rather not look ugly

[cedar zodiac]

Fair.

[surreal cargo]

Nah i got em. I just finished the expedition

I finished 1 2 and 9. Too bad my pc broke and i couldnt play the other 6

Atleast i am a pioneer though. I can say i was there at the beginning

[stiff jackal]

Oh my god this space station that im 100% not meant to be able to get to has people with buyable ships. And PEOPLE

I got a Fighter

[crisp marten]

lmao

[jagged sedge]

I'm not a big fan of fighter type ships, I prefer shuttles

[stiff jackal]

With all the sentinels around, i am NOT fighting sent ships in a hauler

Shuttles are nice but i like how speedy Fighters are

[stiff jackal]

Just realized that since theres no space anomaly station, we cant even get the cosmetics we get in the same save

[ocean gorge]

Once you finish expedition, your save converts to a regular type of save. And then you can do whatever you want with it

[silent radish]

I SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE TO THE TITAN WORM BURROW

AAAA

God damn it outpost delta isn't rendering

OH FOR THE LOVE OF

[ashen shore]

Is anyone else's Game crashing alot

[silent radish]

Yea

I recommend turning off multiplayer

[ashen shore]

But than cool moments like this won't happen .. we got there at the same time

[silent radish]

Yeah but your game probably won't randomly crash and make the expedition impossible

[ashen shore]

Also it's weird my starting game made me that character and not a Gek this time around... I already completed the expedition once I'm just doing it this time around again

[ocean gorge]

My game crashes usually when I’m mining deposits
I have MP and PVP off

This isn’t new behavior. It’s been doing this awhile

[silent radish]

I still hate being stuck as a blue-yellow korvax

[ocean gorge]

Once you can use the Utopia building thing to unlock recipes, you can build a appearance modifier for your base, think it’s 10 buried salvaged data, iirc. Gotta be able to power it somehow, so something like bioreactor module or whatever.

[split junco]

um am i supoed to check pins for the time of when the exped ends?

cause I didnt see it

[ocean gorge]

I think it runs thru April 4th

But sure, the pins have helpful info like that

[split junco]

ok stil have a month to do it then

[ocean gorge]

Yeah, it started like 2 weeks ago, and they gave us 6 weeks to get it done

[silent radish]

Also I should stop watching fullmetal alchemist while playing this game because it's hard to avoid the horrors of the utopia system when reading subtitles

[silent radish]

This fucking expedition

life support running out

can't make life support gel because I'm nowhere near a base

[sly pond]

Solution: break base life support tech quick

[ornate sphinx]

How do I transfer my phase expedition rewards over to my normal save file?

[cedar zodiac]

go to anomaly

[ornate sphinx]

On which file?

[cedar zodiac]

normal save

[silent radish]

"Landing area not clear"

I've never seen a clearer landing area

Just died wooo

Planet 5 is so laggy

The game is screaming at me to Hatch this egg but I don't fucking care I just wanna finish this expedition

I also love how you can't go to planet 5 if you're even mildly epileptic

Analysis visor broke god damn it

I literally cannot find the restoration zone without that

[indigo falcon]

find the plant of the biome (mpulse beans, etc) and consume to restore some life support

[ashen shore]

I'm making good time making my way to planet 3

Got to make sure the next planet I buy Pyrite

[silent radish]

To whoever xnoop is fucking thank you

That guys base saved my ass

[ashen shore]

I feel like that's the point of this expedition like alot of us early in the first week made tons of bases designed to help those coming in after us

[stiff jackal]

This is by far the easiest expedition i have ever done

When cooking is harder than killing giant parasitic worms then you know its easy

[silent radish]

Well what I needed was to be in a base to make a singular carbon nanotubes

And also evade sentinels

On planet 5 I am basically blind

Also annoyingly I cant see the save beacon I left in outpost epsilon

I keep landing at save beacons that end up being bases

[glass stump]

OK, still on phase 2, I died in the volcano crater. I don't see an icon to recover my stuff. Any clue as to where it might be? Am I screwed? Continue from here, or start over?

[quasi copper]

Restore from your last save?

[glass stump]

Not sure that works as it used to, but worth a try

[ashen shore]

just discovered a sentinel pillar on planet two

+85.80, +172.31

[glass stump]

That worked. Thanks

[ashen shore]

quick tip for planet 3, use your companion to move around

the animals have weird physics with tall mountains

Alright just built a Base at the Sentinal tower for the 4th planet. And it has an exotic Multi tool.

[stiff jackal]

The ship you get for completion looks so cool

[stiff jackal]

I find it funny how after all the work you do for Utopia

Your final objective is to leave the system you just tried to help settle

[fringe agate]

Sad times

[stiff jackal]

To me its just

“Yeah this galaxy is a lost cause, get me out of here”

Which is funny cause i technically left a LOT earlier than i should have

It threw me 681,000 light years away lmao

[fringe agate]

Lol nice

[stiff jackal]

Traded that stupid hauler for a fighter

Was so happy i was able to

[fringe agate]

I flew my chonker the whole way, silly thing

[stiff jackal]

I called mine the star whale

It was a neat ship, i just hated how slow it was

[fringe agate]

Lol yeah they are not agile at all

[stiff jackal]

I prefer shuttles or fighters

maybe an explorer

I love when explorers straight up look like tie-fighters

[fringe agate]

I main a fighter

[stiff jackal]

Fighters are great

The one i got from the actually functional space station looks so basic

Its like a poor version of one of the normal sleek crisp looking ones

It was only about 4 mil

So honestly it IS a poor version

[fringe agate]

Lol

[stiff jackal]

It got the job done.

It funnily enough also had more storage than my hauler

[fringe agate]

Damn, that's a bad hauler

[sly pond]

Jet boxes are some of the best ships in the game. 🙂

Pre-Waypoint stats, so no Agility bonus

Someone else found the system and breezed through, I scouted the Fighter lol.

[cerulean olive]

Same. I never play a converted expeditions save after completing the expedition anyway, so I just use tne stuff I get provided from the start. I do expeditions for the rewards only 😁

[jagged sedge]

I don't know, the Utopia research stations are kinda handy, I think I'd keep them around

[proven scroll]

wait there's a functional space station?

[stiff jackal]

If you somehow leave the system early

Yea

I got a random blackhole

And it sent me reeeeaally far

And i was able to see actual npcs and change my characters look

[proven scroll]

ah

well

you can change your look with the thingamabob you can build in a base, can't you?

[stiff jackal]

I forgot lol

[neat latch]

I do like the option to access every constructions and other research station without accessing the space anomaly. This is something I would like as a generic feature of the game but I doubt HG will implement it.

[wanton raft]

Trying to make Gelatinous Membrane from the Flesh Ropes. Why won't it let me? This is on the PC this time, but I recall that it did just fine on the PS4.

[quasi copper]

Is that a nutrient processor, or a refinery? It says "Refinery Output" on the right, but for all I recall, the nutrient processors may say that, too.

Maybe a refiner bug thing going on? This post is someone who seems to have the same problem. They had a refiner mod messing it up.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/11byviz/utopia_expedition_an_acquired_taste/

[foggy steppe]

My game glitched and for my final stage I didn’t lose any life support even when using my jet pack

[quasi copper]

Weird. Sort of lucky?

[foggy steppe]

Yeah

[wanton raft]

Ok, the snow speeder is well worth enduring this boring expedition and the latest bugs!

[wanton raft]

Yes, it was a mod messing me up too.

The refiner mod is the only mod I use. I only use mods to save a bit of time. I draw the line before the mods that increase loot and others which I find too cheaty for my taste.

[quasi copper]

I don't! : ) I love all kinds of mods. Glad you were able to fix it.

[stiff jackal]

On this save at least just build all of them so you can keep them

[jagged sedge]

Sometimes it's more handy to be able to access them in your base, like if you want to unlock something without travelling first

[stiff jackal]

Yea

[silent radish]

Will there be negative consequences for anyone if I make a base inside the outpost on planet 5

I am literally about to make my base so I need to know

Bearing in mind I have multiplayer turned off

Well it's too late now I've commandeered a landing pad
